Times haven,t changed that much, as now, years later, we still look out the window at the beginning of each year. We,d like to hide behind the curtains of last year - behind the security of traditions, familiar professors, and old friendships, but we cant. For when we peek outside the curtains, we can see many new beginnings ahead of us. The 125th year for Valparaiso University was one of special beginnings The year opened without ttThe groveh behind the gym, as it was replaced by the building of a new Athletic Recreation Center. The new freshman class entered with a whole new set of rules and requirements. There was also a whole new chapel staff and renewed excite- ment and activity within the Christian groups on campus And then, of course, there were the familiar beginnings: U-Hauls and moving in, long lines and registration, hellos and goodbyes . . . mmuwn mmaag W h .

Each of us have our own individual race toward personal goals. Different though they may be, the prizes we strive for all have one thing in common: the hard work required to attain them. For no goal worthy of pursuing comes easily, and we set our ambitions high as the year begins. There will be many struggles and challenges, but we will perservere and keep reaching - toward victory, achievement, and success. 16 Though for a while we could ride on the ex- citement of the new year and a fresh start, soon we all came face to face with reality. For up- perclassmen, the first encounter may have come at the realization that the much needed Athletic Recreation Center was being built only at the expense of what was the oldest stand of trees in Northern Indiana. Everyone shared in the battle against long lines, computer card shortages and red tape at registration. Shortly after that we began to face the cafeteria food and the messy rooms - realities of a life away from home. Once classes began e not necessarily the ones we wanted - it wasntt long before the homework piled up. And we started to feel the meaning of the hard work necessary to attain our goals. REALITIES u my Up. L Freshly cut stumps were a stark reality. Up. Mdl.: Homework meant long nights . . . Up. R .. . and hours in the library. L.L.: Registration: forms, lines, and headaches. L. Mdl.: Another day, another class. LR Cafeteria food is just not as good as mom s! .mmmmr A A d uI missed General Hospital, for this? a weary student complained as another after- noon of classes came to an end. After overcoming the initial shock of return- ing to campus after three months of vacation or of experiencing life away from home for the first time, students settled into the routine of college life. They strove for a perfect balance between classes, homework, parties, jobs, sleep, sports, clubs, and free time. The problems students faced were sometimes light, sometimes heavy, but always traumatic. Voices echoed through the various living quarters: iiAll of this macaroni and cheese wonit fit in my hot pot! How will I ever pay this phone bill? Keep it down e- ifs QUIET HOURSH Hey, can I buy your mail? Does anyone have any iNo Doze? I have a mid-term tomorrow and I canit find my notes! Although sometimes the problems seemed never-ending, students always found their way around them. By settling into a comfortable routine, a student could juggle all the aspects of college life and still find time to watch a soap, go sledding, see a movie . . . ; 18 :A PERFECT BA LANCE E - -i m4 4.!44A Up. L: Freshman women off to another afternoon of classes. Up. 3.: Many upperclassmen cook for themselves for better taste and less expense. Cen.: Fraternities aren,t all fun and parties! L. 1...: The worst part of cooking for yourself is dish du- ty. L. Mdl. L.: Nice weather provides an opportunity to com- bine homework and relaxation. L. Mdl. R.: A special treat after a week of dorm food! I... R.: Mealtime is not only for eating, but for fun and fellowship. f 20 Rule number one of college life is ttstudy hard? Rule number two is ttget involvedtt e- dontt let school prevent you from having fun, meeting people, or exercising your body or your brain. Here at V.U., choosing what to get involved with is not an easy task. There is so much to choose from e intramurals, music organiza- tions, campus media and publications, or just attending activities sponsored by the dorms, greeks, or Union. In addition, athletics offer many possibilities e- pom pons, marching band, watching or actually participating in the sport itself. Whatever interests you, the impor- tant thing is to get the most out of an activity, whether in leading or following. Remember that the enjoyment of each experience equals the amount of effort put into it. WHEN THE BOOKS U. L: Working on the Beacon is a great way to be active in preserving memories. Up. Mdl. L: Leadership conference, held in New Buffalo, M1, taught these students skills and started many new friendships Up. Mdl. R.: Football games are a great way to support the school, have fun, or both! Up. R.: Intramurals are one of the most popular ways to get involved. Cen. L: Awaken yourself to Sweet Wine e Christian music at its best. Cen. Mdl.: A Union-sponsored chess tournament kept these men deep in thought. Cen. R.: Alumni and Brandt residents stay warm and participate in a dorm activity at the same time. L. L: The Gammas keep active and have fun washing cars. L. IL: For those who love to sing, the Universitthivic Choral Society is the right organization e and a lot of fun, too! Inevitably, the time comes when, despite a tug of conscience, we rearrange our priorities and start putting responsibilities and homework at the bottom of the list. The reasoning used for this is somewhat unclear, but somehow it seems that we always have time to take a nap or sun- bathe, whereas therels never enough time to do readings or homework assignments. This uni- que phenomenon has commonly been known as llblowing it off and college students become quite skilled at the particulars of the art. This art also has areas of specialty. Some excel in soaking in the rays, others in the gift of gab. Others practice dancing, creating costumes, and making themselves beautiful, things which are much more important to their future. Then there are those who go to the extreme of redefining ltstudy break to mean that short period of time during which they stop goofing off in order to study. Whatever their specialty, however, most all students will agree that the best advice of all is this: uWhen your day is full, its best to get the nap out of the way first? a !BLOWING IT OFF f mmw'z: Up. L: New students demonstrate how to learn by osmosis. Up. Mdl.: And on the eighth day, God God created the weekend! Up. R.: Halloween night has brought out the true personalities in these students. Cen. L.: Getting ready for a night on the town. C. Mdl.: Walking to the Union can be a time for fun. Cen. R.: Warm sunny weather in Valpo? Not often, but these students have learned to take advantage of it. L. L: Taking advantage of the warm weather provides a perfect excuse for this cookout. 1.. Mt . L.: Intramurals are not only recreational, but also fun to watch. L. Mdl. B. These Lambda Chis know where they can get the best view of the Air Band III contest. L. R.: A little twisting and dancing can do wonders for the waistline. Remember that special date that lasted all night, a cozy evening for two, you and your typewriter, and the occasion was a 20-page paper due the next morning? What about the time you remembered to type in a program an hour before it was due but the computer room was jam-packed because everyone else had programs to do at the same time? Dontt forget that long-awaited date that finally arrived. You rushed back from class and glanced around your room only to discover you had nothing to wear because on your weekly jaunt to the laun- dry room, you found that everyone on campus had decided to do laundry at the same time and there were no available machines. A crisis means different things for different people, ranging from a humorous incident to an embarrassing moment. All of us have memories of these times - they have made our ex- perience here at VU unique. CRISIS T IME Up. L: Five am. and still typing. Up. R.: 50 hungry, but too bad, no food!! Cen.: Desperately reaching for help. L. L.: When,s my test? In one hour, of course. L. Mdl. L: A definite crisis my room needs cleaned! L. Mdl. R.: The computer room could be called uCrisis General.

Someone from your table pops 10p in the jukebox and hits number 109. Lights blink, a record is selected from the stack and begins to spin on the turntable. liWherever I lay my hat - thatls my homef, sadly sings the smooth voice of British heart throb, Paul Young. Its one of those songs that will always bring memories of a certain place flooding back to your mind, like the song you religiously blared down the corridor freshman year. In this case, the place is Cambridge, England, and the memories are those of fall semesterls group of students, fondly known as 032. Of course the memories differ from student to student. There are the adven- tures of hitchhiking, of traveling anywhere from Oslo to Athens, of making friends and falling in love. There are the not-so-fun memories of trains that were missed, term paper all-nighters, and seasick ferry crossings. Imagine the feeling you get on a train as it winds through countryside youlve never seen before. The view of the Alps or the hills of southern France is more incredible than you couldive imagined. lt mesmerizes your thoughts as you forget the stiffness in your neck and the discomfort of the sleepless night before. Whether punting down the Cam River through the backs of Cambridgels magnificent colleges or stroll- ing along Paris, Champs Elysees, there is no way of telling what or who is around the corner. That element of adventure, or suspense, together with the bonds you form with other wanderers like yourself, constitute the heart of the ilCambridge experi- ence? Strongest of all are the bonds you establish within the group itself, as stereotypes are disproved, reputations cast aside, and bar- riers broken down. For four incredibly brief months, these people are your family. Like a real family, you all fight, cry, laugh, and learn together. Cambridge students are often accused of changing while they are overseas. How horrible it would be if they didnit! New haircuts, pierced ears, and mod clothes are only the outward dif- ferences. The real change is within e- a new at- titude or perspective, a confidence built through four months of daring yourself to be yourself as best as you can be. In a world where nothing is familiar, home be- comes the comfort of being confident about your place in that world. For C-32 wherever we decide to lay our hats, that feeling will always be home.

Breaking away thatts a large part of what VU-Puebla was all about. From the first hint of culture shock to the last bout with tttouristaf Mexico constantly reminded us that her culture, history, traditions, and lifestyles were totally different from those we knew. The group tn became a family which shared thoughts and experiences for the length of the program. Together, we discovered such land- marks as the National Cathedral in Mexico City m, and were serenaded by a Mariachi band Gt while we drifted through Xochimilco, the famous floating gardens. Lucky ones witnessed a group on a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe 010. Other attractions in- cluded the many statues and monuments, such as the Monument to the Revolution tSL and ex amples of Mexican mural art, exemplified by Diego Rivierats paintings in the National Palace t6i. The new life we led in Mexico began at the University UL which is beautiful in its colonial style t9i. On study trips, the group visited im- portant archaeological sites such as El Tahin and The Pyramid of the Nitches t8i, the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan t12i, or Tatelolco, in downtown Mexico City t13i. While the study of history and culture was serious, we always managed to have fun t1 D, as Steve did with the Quetzalmariposa tbird-butterflyi at Teotihuacan. A must of daily life was goingito market t10i, which was probably one of the largest breaks with our knowledge and ex- perience. Always new and interesting, Mexico captured our hearts and, at the same time, reminded us just how special home is. Betsy Pumroy - Puebla 1983 32 Sunshine, rain, and a cold wind were not able to dampen the aura of excitement that sur- rounded this yearts Homecoming festivities, aptly called the ttMagical Mystery tour? The tttourt, began on Friday afternoon with the advent of the Homecoming games. In addi- tion to an old favorite, the Slime-In, the tug-of- war, the keg-toss, and the obstacle course were favorably accepted. Friday evening saw the ar- rival of the bonfire and pep rally, and as the flames leaped, excitement mounted. It was a special moment uniting young and old as time stood still. The evening was topped off by the announcement of Larry Lange and Susan Mertz as Homecoming King and Queen. On Saturday morning that ole Crusader spirit roared despite the rain as spectators gathered to watch the parade with its bands and creative floats. Float contest winners were: Pi Kappa AlphatKappa Psi Omega - best theme; Phi Kappa PsVAlpha Phi Delta - at- tractiveness; Delta Theta PhUPhi Beta Chi - originality. After the parade, spectators migrated to the football field to cheer the Crusaders to a victory over Ashland College. The ttmysteryt, has unfolded, but the ttmagicalt, quality of this years tttour will live on in our memories of Homecoming t83. Up. L: Smiles and hands from some fans and Steve. Up.

The Spring semester 1983 offered events of a specialized nature. Auditions were held in January for the VU Dance Troupels Spring show. A variety of dance styles were utilized so that almost anyone, experienced or not, could participate. The show was student organized and choreographed, which meant hours of hard work. The rewards were great, however, as everyone had fun and gave the audience a class show. The Greek system also got into the act with its own special brand of fun. Songfest 1983, held during Spring Weekend, continued the time honored tradition. Many hours of practice and preparation went into the songs, dance routines, and costumes that played a role in the show. A new event, which is gaining notoriety, was Lambda Chi Alphals AirBand contest held as a fund raiser for the Scott Lohr scholarship fund. Students enjoyed participating and have show- ed much creativity in costuming and staging for this event. The annual Popcorn Festival was the first and largest of the new school year, as thousands of people attended the community organized event which offered a little bit for everyone. The two most noted participants came all the way from California. Orville Redenbaucher, whose infamous popcorn flow- ed freely, was there mingling with the crowd. Not so familiar in Valpo was the face of Karl Malden, former star of The Streets of San Fran- cisco, who was parade grand marshal. The university population also participated in the festival. Students and faculty ran in the Pop- corn Panic 5-mi1e run, groups marched the parade or set up booths, and the football team defeated Alma College in the yearly Popcorn Bowl. The Union is a place designed to bring the university community together. This was ac- complished in many ways in 1983, as Union Board provided a little something for everyone. Well-known guest lecturers and performers always drew a crowd, as did special events like the Union All-Nighter and the Madrigal Dinner. The Union also played host to events such as the Guild Bazaar and the annual Plant Ex- travaganza, providing shopping opportunities. Recreation opportunities also existed, including occasions for competition. For such a small building, the Union offered quite a bit. 36 i.gmwmragsw Up.

L.: Concert Choir prepares for yet another per- formance. L. R; With the Christmas concert only days away, the University Symphony Orchestra is hard at work. The cultural part of VU is a rich one, but it 03 often overlooked. The Theatre and Drama Dept. was again hidden away in an inadequate facility, but they overcame that hindrance to put on spectacular performances. Two plays were performed in the fall of 83, The Show-Off and A Midsummer Nightis Dream, which both were successful. The annual CC Freshman Pro- duction, Off the Wall, was completely written and performed by students, and proved to be entertaining. More visible on campus were the various music groups. Concert Choir, Chapel Choir, and Kantorei performed at Chapel services and at special concerts. The Symphonic Band and the Symphonic Orchestra also provided enter- tainment at various functions. Other music groups included Bell Choir, Jazz Band, and Show Revue. Each organization shared their special talent and their unique form of entertainment with the university community, adding to the variety which makes this university an enjoyable place to be. FRINGE BENEFITS$ 40 There is no greater blessing Than an understanding friend ths there in times of trouble And one whom we can depend - N A friend who knows our every mood And brightens cloudy days. '1 George Eliot, on friendship: A friend whots slow to criticize But quick to offer praise, A friend who knows the faults we have But loves us as we are e Of all the blessings life can bring, A friend is the best by far! Rita Heydt Oh, the comfort, the inexpresible comfort, of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away. When all is said and done, the most impor- tant part of college is learning from others thrbugh many diverse activities. The friends that we made play a big part in helping us to make memories, and so, we pay tribute to friends - the most important fringe benefits of the college experience. he gm; +0 m: , Summarized! m SH A RENEW The goals we set for ourselves often seem LL unreachable. Some of them may be, but most can be achieved. Attaining the end, however, often takes hard work and endurance. The an- nual commencement service signals the suc- cessful ,end of one endeavor for many students. .Ahead lie even more challenges and more striv- ing toward goals. At whatever point we are - on our way m toward reaching goals or beginning to establish :1 new ambitions, we can always find comfort in Scripture. The prophet Isaiah promises a renewal of strength when we wait for the Lord. 1 What an encouraging thought as we participate in the race of life!

Among his ex. tensive duties on campus are the development of university programs and services with administrators and faculty members and the working out of the universityls internal problems. In addition, President Schnabel spends much time off campus traveling to companies and meeting with legislators and alumni in order to further the interests of Valparaiso University. The president firmly believes that HIn order to develop all of ones potentials, one must first see himself in relationship to God and to his fellow human beingsfl Maintaining Valparaiso University as an institu- tion of higher learning committed to a foundation of liberal studies is how President Schnabel feels this ideal can best be realized. Fred W. Kruger As Vice President of Business Al fairs, Fred Kruger sees to it that the university Ndoesn't go in the hole and stays out of the redf However, behind this simple phraSt are the complicated and time consuming duties of planning VUW budget, taking care of student ac counts and overseeing the opera tions of Physical Plant and Foot Services. HThere is a desire on the part 0 all administration to maintain the personal quality of a Christian oriented university that cares not only for its students but also for the faculty and staff? Kruger says HIlm part of a family that work: together to improve the entire operation. Richard P. Koenig After 41 years as a member of the Valparaiso University communi- tyi Richard Koenigs basic philosophy on our school has not changed: iil believe in Vaipo and its mission in which higher education is permeated with the gospeli This is strongly reflected in the past and present student body? As Vice President of Public and Alumni Affairs. Koenig has a number of duties encompassing many areas Among these areas are: church relations. alumnii athletics. News Bureau. public rela- tions, parents, and publications. Richard P. Baepler tiAn education should consist of more than just classroom learning'. states Richard Baepler, Vice Presr dent of Academic Affairs. Baepler's goal is to help students develop the skills necessary to sue ceed in life In holding the chief academic of- ficei Baepler strives to constantly improve the quality of Valparaiso University's academic programs. while at the same time trying to in- corporate Christian ideals into these programs. His major respon- sibilities include recommending replacements for vacant faculty positions and proposmg budgets in the academic area. Daryll C. Hersemann Daryll Hersemann is concerned with a Vital element on campus 7 the student As Vice President of Student Affairs Dr, Hersemann acts as a iiason between students and the university administration He not only represents studentsi views but must often deal With dif ficult problems. which invariably find a place on his desk. Vice President Hersemann finds his work enjoyable and hopes that in the future he will have even more contact With the students of the university. DEAN OF MEN The Dean of Men deals primarily with pro- blems, efforts to prevent problems, and to eliminate them when they occur. Such a respon- sibility could well be the one appointment that ad- ministrators tend to decline; however, Robert Schroer has filled the position for ten years. The qualities of being a iiuniversity and uChristianH creates a tension which Schroer feels itprovides a type of college experience which best prepares students for the future. Dean Schroerts hope is that tistudents, faculty, parents, and the church could fully appreciate that tension.H Dean Schroer considers it a privilege to be part of the exciting campus environment. As a former student and graduate of V.U., he is able to express studenfs views to the University and the Univer- sityis goals and expectations to the students. Schroer enjoys the challenges and finds many rewards in communicating with students, parents, and faculty. Dolores Ruosch, Dean Robert F, Schroer, Dean uI was impressed with her bright, profes- sional appearance and manner?, uShe did more than just talk to me. She helped? ttShe listens. Dolores Ruosch is just what students say she is; an active participant in their lives and on campus. Dean Ruosch understands her role as be- ing an instrument for a woman to become hall she can be? The Dean makes contact with students through the routes of discipline, academics, committees, classes, or in relaying information. Dean Ruosch feels there is ureciprocal action between herself and student in this ittouching, stret- ching, and growingii process. Ruosch embodies her own philosophy, ttfree to be me? Between activities such as 5 am walks, dinners, and cocktail parties, she ttbecomes closer to women? NThere is something special about Valparaiso University? states Ruosch; ttifs open, warm, and appreciative. We work hard and we play hard. There are special needs for both men and women, and as Dean of Women, Ruosch en- courages the women of V.U. to tthitch their wagon to a starf, DEAN OF WOMEN Forrest Vance, Dean Forrest Vance first came in 1981, and is now one of three deans of the College of Arts and Sciences. tt . . .

He would like to see Katherine Antonimaria, Assistant Dean more students involved with the ad ministrators, and the ttdistancetY between students and administrators diminish. In addition to their faculty and depart- ment chairman responsibilities, Drr Katherine Antonimaria and Dr. Nancy Sederburg are assistant deans of the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences.

In CC, they are offered freedom and flexibility for educational experimentation. Although not a degree granting institu- tion, members do receive ilScholari, and ilassociatell designation on their transcripts. At the head of the CC faculty is Dean Arlin Meyer. A V.U. faculty member since 1967, Meyer served as chairman of the department of English for five years before accepting his present position. Aside from teaching the CC Freshman Seminar, Dean Meyer spends his time recruiting students to V.U. through the CC program as well as encouraging V.U. students to join CC. He also meets with students to find out how CC can accommodate their interests and career needs. Students are becoming more practical-minded and are looking for entry level jobs in professions. Dean Meyer would like to have more contact with students applying for jobs and the 60 to 65 percent going onto graduate programs. Generally, though, Meyer likes his administrative position because it is centrally located over a small organiza- tion that gets along well together. Arlin G. Meyer, Dean Dean Barry Haber views his position as an ttex- citing challenge.H He has several plans aimed at building quality and striving for excellence in the college. Haber believes that the college curriculum needs to concentrate more on ttthe international aspect and informational needs of business. Other priorities include the ttincrease of the col- legds visibility in the community through a pro- gram of outreach and interaction. Dean Haber encourages student internships, continuing educa- tion and evening seminars for community residents. Whether making administrative decisions or teaching in the classroom, he is after the same thing. ttOur goal is to build a quality college and constantly strive for excellence. F.

Dean Freda Scales has been a part of the col- lege since January, 1983. The Dean praises the efficiency of the faculty working with her. She feels they are largely responsible for moving the school forward and for graduating such a high caliber stu- dent. As for her part in the process, Dean Scales consults with the facul- ty on development and with parents about students, academic progress, with administration about faculty concerns and with faculty about administration concerns. COLLEGE OF NURSING ; New to the V.Ut faculty as of fall 1983 is Peter J. McGovern. After spending the past eleven years as law professor and administrator at University of South Dakota, McGovern has taken the Dean position, in part, because uthe University is extremely impressive and he Uliked the people? ttLaw students keep me youngft states McGovern. The new Dean entered the field of legal education because he ugot tired of the ordinary legal work. The value of legal education is that as a teacher, one can make long range, positive contribution to the quality of justice and the legal practice in the United States. One of McGovernts goals is to actively promote the School 0f.Law. HWe need to let more people in the field of legal education know the quality of our students and worth of our faculty. We also must continue to integrate the prin- ciples of our Christian heritage into the principles of law? McGovern believes that Valparaiso needs a new law center to accommodate its size and new program. In addition, he hopes to increase the number of visiting lawyers and encourage the faculty to travel and become more visible as they work on their individual discipline. As new Dean of the Law School this year, McGovern gtbasically assesses what is possible, what can be done, what the schooYs needs are, and what the student body is like?

Niedner Frederick Niedner has carved out a unique niche on VU,s campus with his honest, penetrating preaching style and gentle warmth within the classroom. One of VU,s most respected professors since his arrival in 1973, Niedner completed his M.DIV. and Th.Di degrees at Concordia Seminary, St Louis in 1971 and 1973, respectively. While attending graduate school, he served as an assis- tant parish pastor. When asked if heid ever return to parish ministry, Niedner admitted that although he has given it thought, he carft see leaving a place where he is iRzonstant- 1y growing and learning. ' For Niedner, iitheology is the secret to organizing and making sense of our world. His significance? ii . . . to love and take of oneself and others through God.Y7 To students, Professor Niedner Hmakes it relevanti, and Ngoes out of his way to help us understand. In the words of one student, HNiednefs coolf7 Dr. A. Gilbert Cook uAs a chemist, I could have gone into industry, said Dr. Cook, Hbut I enjoy working with young people and people in general. This is my mission in life, and is part of what God has asked me to do. Dr. Cook receivedhis Bachelor degree in chemistry at Wheaton College, his PHD. at the University of Illinois, and did post doctoral work at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He came to Valparaiso University twenty-three years ago as an assistant professor, and is presently the Chair- man of the Chemistry Department. There are several reasons why many students of Valparaiso University have immense respect for Dr. Cook; One student stated, HBecause of his knowledge and the careful way in which he communicates this to his students . . . 'i Another replied, uDr. Cook is a very patient man, especially when we ask a lot of questions. He is also very good at giving explanations and helping students. Outside of his family, Dr. Cookis personal interests in- clude church work as the Chairman of the Elder Board, reading, stamp collecting, and running. Dr. Cook wants to get students interested in their work and get them to go find out about things. He hopes that his students may see his example as a service to God, glorify- ing God. iiIf students see Christ in my life as a Chemist and get excited about what they are being taught, Iid be very satisfied? to give prominence to. Eileen E. Coates The general opinion of many Valparaiso University students is that Professor Eileen Coates is iiliver, understanding, and always there to help.v ItShe is a very enthusiastic professor, wants to get to know students, and lets us have fun in class. Professor Coates received both her B.A. and M.A.L.S. degrees from Valparaiso University. She has been an in- structor at the University since 1977. When asked what led her into the teaching profession she replied, N1 have always wanted to be a teacher. I studied French instead of Latin by mistake when I was in high school. A few weeks into the semester I was hooked to French. I loved it! I figured that if French was such a good experience for me, maybe others could get a lot out of it too Professor Coatesy personal interests include playing rac- quetball, and going white water rafting, which she said has brought her the most fun outside of French class. The main thing that Professor Coates wants her students to get out of her class is HThe importance of a very positive attitude. They must cheer when we do irregular verbs. I believe that if you approach something positively, you,11 get a lot more out of its Ifs like that with a lot of things in life. If you have to do it, you might as well do it with a positive at- titude, than groan and grumblei YouIII reap so much more out of it? Dr. William C. Dallmann Dr. William Dallmann brings an array of diverse occupa- tions and interests to his position as speech Professor and director of V.U.Is speech clinics Dallmann graduated from San Francisco State in 1957 with a degree in Speech and Drama, and became a professional actor for a time. He moved on to hold jobs such as private detective, insurance underwriter, paint producer and seller, a lumberjack, and serviceman in both the Navy and Army. The experiences served him well, and after completing a doctorate in Speech Communications at Purdue University in 1973, Dallmann took a position as speech professor at V.U. uAs a teacher, I try to get students to develop what I call leaky marginsf Dallmann says, iiand encourage them to become more open to experience, able to receive ideas from difv ferent cultures, consider them, and try them out. Dallmann himself is well versed in several martial arts and Eastern philosophies, which he puts to use in his General Semantics course. HWhen I first discovered Eastern philosophy, I was amazed at how some of these concepts opened up the world for me. When I go into the classroom, I want to help other people to discover these ideas which have made such an impact on my lite, withithe hope that it might help them to enjoy life as much as I def 73 Dr. Gail Eifrig HTeaching literature is like referring someone to a psychiatrist that they really don,t need at the time, but may need later on. At 19, there is so much else going on in life that is important, sometimes Wordsworth, Shakespeare, and Frost just don,t take right away, Professor Gail Eitrig says, Hbut I want students to get acquainted with people like Wordsworth so that when theytre 40 and at the point where they need the solace the great voices can supply, they will feel like they already know him and can read him. Professor Eitrig is in her seventh year of full time teaching at Valparaiso, though she has been with the University in the teaching capacity since 1966. She graduated with honors in English from V.U., earned her mastefs degree at Bryn Mawr University, and completed the course work required for her PhD. in 1964. She moved to Valparaiso with her husband William Eitrig, music professor at VU., and began teaching part time in the English department In 1977, she continued her work at Bryn Mawr, completing her PhD. in 1982. HI see literature as a craftsmanlike approach to a series of problems for which it suggests possible solutions, and I want students to develop the skills to evaluate these works objectively? Dr. Kenneth H. Klein uThink for yourself, and look for the evidence, is the phrase which has guided the teaching of Professor Ken Klein in the last twenty years. A philosophy professor at V.U. since 1963, Klein was educated at several prestigious universities, completing a PhD. in Philosophy of Religions at Harvard, a master7s in divinity at the University of Chicago, and a one year fellowship at Oxford University. 9A philosophy teacher should get students to examine their assumptions that they have lived with to see if they are really fit for the adult world. Klein sees college students in a transition period between uobedience and in- dependencen which can be a very trying, but important time. iiFor eighteen years students have been told what to believe and why to believe itfY Klein says, ttso it can be dif- ficult to get a person at that stage to make truly indepen- dent judgments, since we all tend to see as we are, to view the world through the belief systems that have been handed down to usf7 Philosophical inquiry is critical in Klein,s view, since it is the only way to HGet people to probe their own assumptions about what is real, about what is valuable, and about what humans need for happiness Dr. Ronald A. Janke Dr. Janke is presently an Associate Professor of Geogrphy at Valparaiso University and has been teaching here since 1974. He received his undergraduate degree at Marquette University, masters degree at the University of Wisconsin, PHD. at the University of Minnesota, and did post doctoral work at the University of Arizona. iiI just enjoy teaching, exclaimed Dr. Janke, iithe summer is too long without having to teach. I get depressed over Christmas break because its so long and I want to teach. If I won the lottery or three million dollars, Pd still teach. I wouldn,t go to the faculty 9 meetings, but Iid still teachf, Dr. Jankeis personal interests include a wide range of ac- ? tivitiesi He reads atlases instead of books, is very much interested in meteorology and weather forecasting, and likes fishing. Dr. Jonke is also interested in American Indian research. Since 1965 he has been to most of the 297 Indian reservations in the United States where he maps out land ownerships and analyzes ebonomic development within the reservations. Many students find Dr. Janke's classes to be both interesting 9nd fun. As one student commented, iII-le somehow manages to keep a boring topic interesting. Hefs very funny? When asked what one idea students should take from his class, Dr. Janke replied with a smile, iiNever camp in a wadi. ItIs too embarrassing to drown in a desert. Dr. Edward M. Uehling HI try to help students develop the capacity to recognize beauty when they see it and the discipline of mind to be able to describe its sources, Professor Ed- ward Uehling says, iiand if you can,t discover beauty in your world, whether it is that of a grocery store manager or corporate executive, then you've wasted your money on college? Professor Uehling came to Valparaiso in 1977, after completing his MA. and PHD. degrees at Penn State. He is concerned with helping students discover the importance of their own ideas, and helping them also find the critical and analytical skills needed to form those ideas more clearly. IUnderstanding one,s own cultural heritage is very important, and developing curiosity about your own past is necessary if a person is to escape repeating the same mistakes over and over. It is a very long process, but without curiosity, growth canIt take place. Uehling is most concerned that col- lege students lay the groundwork for discovering what is really important in the world. uThe truth is practical skills for a job can be gained fairly quickly, but the depth and breadth of experience to really do it well is the harder commodity to come by. 75 w mmm Dr. Warren G.

J POTENT he 1983 baseball season was one of vast contrasts for the VU Crusaders. Coming off a disappointing 18-21 spring record, Coach Ferchen1s squad finished their fall schedule with an impressive 12-4 slate. VU began their spring schedule by losing their first five contests in their annual trip south. The Crusaderst initial victory was over Marietta, a team that went on to claim the NCAA Division III Championship. nOverall, it was a good season if you take away the first five games,n said Ferchen. uWe had a young team that went through a learning process. Some defensive collapses in the late innings cost us a lot of close gamesf7 he said. Ferchen cited victories over Western 11- linois, Tennessee Tech, Notre Dame, and Il- linois State as notable Crusader wins. Disap- pointing the VU coach was a fourth place finish in the Heartland Conference Tournament. The strength of the young club was of- fense. The Crusaders set new club records in home runs with 28 and RBFs with 181. The potent bats averaged just under six runs per game. Ron Levitt, Scott Carter, Jim Robinson, and Scott Katula paced the Crusaders on the field. 1Day in and day out, Levitt was our most valuable player, Ferchen said. itHe did his job well and always seemed to ignite our team. The leftfielder finished with a .306 batting average and led VU in runs scored with 30 and doubles with seven. Bats Pace Crusaders in ,83 Carter established single season records in home runs with nine and RBI's with.36. He sent four over the fence in a single game against St. Josephts. Robinson and Katula were the stoppers on the pitching staff. Each picked up four victories and recorded 58 and 45 strikeouts, respectively The Crusaders managed a complete turn-around in their victorious fall campaign. ttWe put everything together in the fall, Ferchen said. nThe experience we gained in close situations during the spring games paid off in the fall. VU took three of four games from both Illinois-Chicago and St. Josephts. They were also victorious in their only showdown against Notre Dame. ttWe came close to finishing 16-0,,1 Fer- chen said. 7I was very happy with our performance. Hitting was the Crusaders1 trademark. Only three players failed to reach the .300 plateau. Greg Foy led the charge with a .417 average. Foy established a school record with 17 stolen bases. Jim Giannis and Joe Gersna finished at .379 and .377. VU also sported a strong defense and pit- ching staff. The defense made just twelve er- rors and, according to Ferchen, ttmade the play in key situations. The pitchers showed marked improvement over the spring season. 1They were throwing strikes and din't walk many peoplef7 Ferchen said, Pat McMahon and Tim Holmes led the staff with three victories apiece. e BK 1983 Valparaiso Spring Baseball Team Bottom Row Heft to righth Rick Mettler, Eric Wannenberg, Dan Kozlowski, Jim MicArdle, Terry Berry, Mark Tyrrel, Nolan Fredrick, Mike Healy, Brett Rump, J ohn Chitowski, Todd Kirkpatrick.

Mid Bizarre, weird, and off the wall were only a few of the words coach Jean Kester- son used to describe her 1983 woments soft- ball teami Seven members of the sixteen woman team were freshmen and were usually the base of most of the fun and mischief. The team was led by its five seniors, while two juniors and two sophomores rounded out the team. This ttfunt, team finished the season with a very fine record of 10-6. Their winn- ing season was one that was spoiled by terri- ble weather. Coach Kesterson commented, uOur girls practiced the longest for the shortest season? Due to cold weather and rain, the women were rained out for a month and made up the games in a short period of time. Opposite of a tun-loving team were girls serious about playing softball. Kesterson pointed out that they were all fine players. One of the most outstanding players for the Crusaders was senior centertielder Linda G. Women Outshine Weather Glysac. She batted .286 and her 17 stolen bases ranked her third in the nation. Pam Mucha was the team1s top pitcher with a record of 5-3 and an excellent earned run average of 1.12. ttPam did a great job for us as a pitcher as well as a hitter, added Kesterson. Glenda Snider led the Crusader hitting attack by leading the team in both batting average t.340t and runs batted in with 12. Deb Schaack and Joan Gunder each contributed to the cause with 11 REFS apiece during the season. For Coach Kesterson a bright spot of the season was beating Notre Dame twicei ttBeating Notre Dame twice in a season is a big thing for any team.H Kesterson felt that this yearts team had more potential than past teams, but the weather dampened their spirits, forced them inside to practice, and to play most of their games in a short period of time. However, the most important part was that they still had ttfun doing it. e EM 1983 Valparaiso Woments Softball from left to righti: Joan Gunder, Michele Anderson, Jean Wagonblast, Deborah dle Row: Sherry LaMorticella, Melody Kortage, Pam Mucha, Sue Kreger, Diane Kolarczyk, Back Row: Coach Jean Kesterson, Diane Lundquist, Denise Patrick, Denise Dunbar, Deb Schaack, Glenda Snyder, Trainer Denise Criswen.

A perennial loser in the sport, the Crusaders turned the tables in ,83. Under the direction of Coach Cindy Young, the young team finished 11-11 in dual meets and finished an impressive third place in the Heartland Collegiate Conference. The squad also competed in the highly com- petitive Association of Mid-Continent Universities and closed the season in sixth place. With just two seniors on the roster, Todd Englander and John Steinbrecker, Coach Young had to rely on a host of underclassmen. Sophomore Duane Davison sported the squad1s best singles record at 16-9. Freshman Mike Greene accumulated the most Victories and finished 18-12. Stein- breaker, who was named the team,s most valuable player, was 15-12 in singles com- Young Team Captures Third petition and teamed up with freshman Bob Syversen for an impressive 13-6 record in doubles action. Steinbrecker, Davison, Greene, and Syversen held down the three, four, five, and six slots respectively. Coach Youngis face lit up with en- thusiasm as she spoke of her 183 team. MI was quite pleased with their showing. This is the best group of playersl have ever worked with. Young cited victories over arch-rival Wabash and Wheaton, along with the Crusaders1 spring trip to St. Louis, as highlights of the season. t1We totally surprised Wabash in our vic- tory? Young said, Hand in 183 we beat Wheaten for the first time in three or four years. We had been close many times but this time we came through?

Although the Valpo women placed seventh out of eight, Coach Young was not disapA pointed. tiQuite frankly, I thought we were go- ing to finish last, but I was proven wrong, she commented. At the center of Valpds youthful nucleus Teamwork Pays Off were sophomore Kim Grashorn and freshman Mary Nay.

Coach Drew Pringleis team peaked in time for the Heartland Collegiate Conference meet in late October. VU finished fourth in the HCC meet at Butler University. Host Butler took top honors and Ashland finished in second. Barry Acton was VU,s top finisher in eleventh place The sophomore earned se- cond team All-Conference honors for his ef- forts. Sophomore Dan Hall placed fifteenth and missed a spot on the All-Conterence team by one slot. Mark Riley finished twenty-first, Eric Ritter twenty-third, and Dave Kochendorter twenty-fitth to round out VU,5 top five. Pringle was pleased with his squadis per formance. uWe really peaked for this and without a doubt it was our best meet of the year, he said. tilt was a good race for us and we finished about where I wanted us to, Pringle added. The Crusaders began the season in the hot summer sun with the V0 Invitational. DePaul finished first followed by Butler, VU , and Illinois-Chicago. VUTs next action was at the Taylor Invita- tionali The Crusaders finished eighth in the eleven team field. Barry Acton was VUts top runner, finishing twenty-fifth. Ritter finished forty-fourth. Next, VU participated in the Purdue North Central Invitational and finished sixth out of ten teams. Acton finished twenty- seventh and Dan Hall thirty-fourth to lead VU. Pringle indicated that improvement was present. tiWe came in out of shape because our runners did not get much work in during the summer due to a coaching change, he said. UBut in this meet we started to get some good times and really put things togetheri The Lakefront Invitational, sponsored by Loyola University, was VU,s next action. Rit- ter, Hall, and Acton were the top Crusaders. The Purdue Invitational was next on' the agenda. The Crusaders placed tenth in the sixteen-team field. Hall finished thirty- seventy and Darrell Martis torty-eighth to lead the VU runners. The Indiana Intercollegiate Meet at Pur- due was next for VU. Among the states big schools, the Crusaders finished eighteenth out of twenty-three squads. In the ttLittle Stateit standings, they finished thirteenth of eighteen teams. Among the big schools, Hall finished ninety-fourth, Acton ninety-ninth, Ritter 102nd, and Martis 105th NWe ran together as a team for the first time in this big meet? Pringle said. iiln this meet we reached that plateau where we started to look good. This was the time to do just that because the HCC meet followed. After the successful Heartland Con- ference showing, VU traveled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to run in the Association of MideContinent Universities meet. VU finished sixth with host Northern Iowa taking top honors. Cleveland State was se- cond and SW Missouri State finished third Barry Acton was VU,s top runner, finishing thirtieth. Dan Hall and Eric Ritter were close behind finishing thirty-tirst and thirty-third, respectively. Dave Kochen- dorfer was fortieth and Paul Dawson forty- seventh, rounding out VU's top five. itOur top five finishers ran well,H Pringle saidi Overall, we ran well going into this meet where we were not familiar with our competitionfi It was VU,s initial AMCU meet. Pringle was, overall, pleased with the season. itWe markedly improved throughout the season and were running as well as our talent allowed us to at the end of the season, he said. tiIn the AMCU meet, our top five runners ran personal bests at the 10 kilometer distance, thus showing how we peaked for the end of the season? Pringle concluded. - BK 1983 Valparaiso Cross Country Team David Kochendorter Second team, MVP ; most improved all HCC Confer- Darryl Martis ence Mark Riley Paul Dawson Eric Ritter Daniel Hall Barry Acton a SMASHING New Records Established he VU track squad highlighted their 1983 spring season at the Heartland Collegiate Conference meet and two other meets in which team points were kept. A group of accomplished sprinters led VU to a third place finish in the HCC meet. Billy Davis was victorious in both the 100 and 200 meter events. He tied a school record in the lOO-M with an electronicallytimed 10.86 second run. Aaron Tidwell finished se- cond behind Davis in both events. Further establishing VUis sprinter supremacy was a victory in the 4X100-M relay. The Crusaders were timed at 42.2 seconds, set- ting a new conference and school record. Members of the record-breaking foursome were Davis, Tidwell, Kenny Darden, and Chris Rudynski. Rudynski captured top honors in the 400- M with his VU teammate Darden finishing second. Rudynskfs time of 48.8 established a new conference and school standard. VU also won the 1600-M relay with Rudynski, Tidwell, Darden, and Barry Ac- ton providing the fire-power. Dave Melchior finished second in the 10,000AM race. The Little State meet was VUis other suc: cessful showing. The Crusaders finished fourth on the legs of Billy Davis. Davis won both the 100 and 200 meter events. The record-breaking 4X100-M relay squad was also victorious. Rudynski finished runner-up in the 400-M race.

Coach Dick Fick was quite pleased with the ef- forts of his team. uWe had a great year, probably our best in five years and we have been very suc4 cessful in those years,7y he said. Fick7s statement was not idle chatter. VU pick- ed up two tournament victories. The Crusaders captured the Purdue-North Central Invitational as well as the VU Invitational. Both tourneys had 12eteam fieldsr VU also finished in the runner-up spot twice. They began the season with a second place finish in the 19-team Butler Invitational. Proving their initial performance was no fluke, Valpo finished second in their next outing, the 16-team St. J oseph,s Invitational. VU also had two fourth place finishes and end- ed the invitational schedule with a 75-11 record. Senior Wally Hanas was a big reason that the Crusaders enjoyed the amount of success that they did. Hanas was medalist in the first two ins vitationals of the year at Butler and St. Joe,s with scores of 71 and 70 respectively. He also finished with a 74 at the Purdue-NC Invitational, good for top honors. ttWe could always count on Wally for a good round in every match, Fick said. uTime in s ?g and time out he was tremendously consistent, no matter what course we played? Hanas1 efforts gained him All-Conference honors in the Heartland Collegiate Conference. Mark Palm played the number two position for VU. uMark is the heir-apparent to Wallyft Fick said. uHe is capable of being a really good playery uDan Palm played in the third slot and Senior Greg Chrustowski played in the number four spot. Fick had nothing but praise for Chrustowski. uGreg was very consistent throughout his career here,u said Fick. ttGolfers have to be self-motivated and Greg along with Wally tHana51 were. They were our leaders? he said. Long-hitter Ken Gaidas played the number five spot. VUts successful season was not hidden in the words of Fick. uAt our level we were probably the best school around, Fick said. uButler won the HCC, but we were ahead of them every other time. It was just a great year. - BK 1983 Valparaiso Golf Team Front Row tleft to rightt: Sheila Kalis, Grant Fenton, Greg Chrustowski, Jon Drews, Gary Owens.

Highlighting the gridiron wars were an inspired Homecoming victory over Ashland and a late- season spurt which tell two yards short of giving Valpo a .500 season. The Crusaders, under the guidance of head coach Bill Koch, still managed a respectable 4-6 record. VU began the season with a bang by trounc- ing the Alma Scots, 31-7, in the fifth annual Popcorn Bowl. Vince Jacobs led the balanced Crusader attack with 85 yards rushing. Freshman Bob Foley scored two touchdowns in his debut as a Crusader. The Crusaders then traveled north to Michigan to battle the Hillsdale Chargers and came away with a 45-11 loss. Turnovers and squandered opportunities spelled defeat for Valpo. Sophomore quarterback Scott Lange passed for 214 yards, 130 of them on seven passes to Mike Healey. Valpo returned home to host Wisconsin-Eau Claire and dropped a 34-25 penalty ridden game. Lange passed for 229 yards and two touchdowns. Mike Healey caught both scores, The Crusaders next traveled south to Butler and were defeated 41-35 while Scott Lange kept Valpo close with a record setting day. Lange set school records with 54 attempts for 388 yards passing and five touchdowns. Valpo trailed at halftime, 26-0, but came within six points before Butler put the game into the books. Coming off three straight defeats, Valpo needed a victory and got one for Homecoming, 17-7, behind an inspired defense and consistent offense. The Valpo defense sacked Ashland quarterbacks five times. Lange turned in another fine day with 242 yards on 24 out of 34 passing. The star of the game, though, was tailback Bob Foley. Foley rushed for 103 yards and caught 13 passes, establishing a VU record. . VU nearly evened their season record against Evansville the next week. Valpo led 13-7 going into the fourth quarter before being nailed for 30 points to drop the game 37-13. Dan Bogar caught seven passes for 107 yards. A rivalry was reinstated when Valpo hosted the St. Joseph Pumas on Parentis Day.' St. Joeis pranksters painted a puma on Brown Field, arousing the VU football community. St. Joe,s led 10-0 at halftime but VU took the lead for good in the third quarter on two Lange- Brogar touchdown hookups. Another score in the fourth quarter made the final score 21-10, Valparaiso. Lange finished the contest with 287 yards passing, covering for a non-existent running game. VU took their 3-4 record to Indiana-Central on Halloween Day. IC raced to a 34-0 halftime and prevailed 47-20. Lange passed for 246 yards and assaulted the VU record books by setting three single season marks: passes at- tempted, passing yardage and touchdown passes. Dan Bogar set marks for singIe-season receptions and yardage and career bests in the same categories. Next VU traveled south to Kentucky and defeated NAIA power Georgetown, 24-8. The win raised VUis record to 4-5. The receiving duo of Bogar and Healey led the Crusader by combining for 17 catches and 207 yards. With a .500 season within sight, the Crusaders took the field against Franklin. VU battled the Grizzlies on even terms until Franklin took a 24-13 lead in the third quarter. Eric Habelt, replacing an injured Lange, and a determined defense pulled VU to 24-21. Habelt pulled Valpo close on a 44-yard touchdown pass to Healey and then by running for the two-point conversion. The Crusaders dream for a .500 season was ended at the Franklin goal line when Hablet was sacked on the final play of the game. VUts season brought quarterback Scott Lange acclaim as the sophomore finished with 212 pass completions in 408 attempts for 2422 yards and 20 touchdowns - all single season records. Dan Brogar had 68 catches for 985 yards, both records. Bogar also holds career records with 131 receptions for 1955 yards and 15 touchdowns. - BK 1983 Valparaiso Football Team- SOPHOMORES Tony Mia Torn Bebee Tony Palomhl Mike Bertoia Rich Pierce Scot Biernat Scott Plankenhom Bill Cecere Billy Davis John Pope Don Canklin Frank Fortunate John Schelllng Bob Culp Mike Gervals Steve Splnell Mike Cys Eric Habelt Blll Swanson Bob Foiey Mike Henley Herblt un Tom Garrity James Keuper Rob Wilson Dave Gebhardt Todd Kirkpatrick Blake Gear Ken Kocar SENIORS Bob Heins Kevin Mackey Greg Brown Chris Kane Scott Lange Tony D'Agostino John Marks Kevin Mackey Mike Daras Jim McManus Tony Maselli Kenny Darden Mark Messerschimdt Devln Haman FRESHMEN Joel Bales Brad Beck Doug Burch Steve Speckhard Bob Nole Matt Vranicar Kraig Olejniczak Mike Peterson Bruce Popp Ray Reuss Bill Schaetier John Speckhard Jeff Thorson Mike Tolonese Jeff Underwood Mike Zablocki Vince Jacobs Bob Kowalskl Phil Kuntz Joe Orlich Dan Patlak Don Smlth Mark Stlttleburg Mark Swieclchowski JUNIORS Dave Anderson Tony Bauer Rob Bloomer Dan Bogar Tony Deeter Andre Gammage Tom Katula 130 Top left: Senior linebacker Dan Patlak tackles Franklin's ball carrier.

Valpots Soccer Debut Ends Well F or the first time in the history of Valparaiso University, soccer was in- stalled as a varsity sport. The first-year Crusaders were led by Coach Danny Jeftich, a former soccer coach at nearby Munster High School. The team started off the season in grand fashion by winning their inaugural match over Fairhaven College by a score of 5-2 They then went on and finished their debut with a respectable record of 5-6. The team ended their season with what Coach Jeftich considered an iiexcellent team performance in a 30 loss to perene nial powerhouse Notre Dame. uWe played them even throughout the whole match? Jeftich added. t Senior Ramon Bustamante was the top scorer for the Crusaders during the season. Other team leaders included Joel Brighton, Mark Betley, and Dave Keepers. This yearts freshmen impressively added the scoring punch all year. Jeftich was sorry to see the season come to an end as tithe team was really starting to work together? but he is looking forward to next year. Next yearis team promises to do equally as well with many underclassmen returningi Overall, it was an impressive season for the first varsity soccer team in VU history. So much progress was made from the begin- ning of the season that Coach Jettich definitely considered the season as a whole a great victory despite a losing season. Jeftich commented, We accomplished more than the record reflected. Soccer at VU is definitely here to stay. e EM 1983 Valparaiso Soccer Team Kneeling Heft to rightt: Mark Betley, Ramon Bustamate, Kevin Sullivan, Heman Gomez, Enrique Ochoa, Jim Pruice, Daryl Craig, Belkacem Bouftas, Steve Freidingai Standing: Paul Haecher, Steve Volz, Al Davis, Paul Arndt, Kevin Rodri- quez, Tom Ferris, Jon Schumacher, Tony Castellanos, Mickey Cseri, Paul Vernet, Coach Danny Jeftich.

It consists of two virtually non-stop halves 35 minutes long. The field is the size of six basketball courts, so running is quite naturally an integral part of the game. The Crusader field hockey players gained their deserved recognition this year as more people became familiar with their sport. Sophomore Carolyn Matthews explained that field hockey involves all the fundamental skills she used in other sports, but she plays because field hockey is the most challenging. The Valpo women responded emphatically to that challenge as they started the season with an awesome winning streak of seven con secutive games before losing to Lake Forest during Homecoming weekend. The team went on to finish their season with an im- pressive record of 11-4. Coach Ruth Brown said, uTo be successful in field hockey, a squad must play as a team, and we did that. Top scorers for the Crusaders this season were Carolyn Matthews with 17 goals and unior Tammy Tideswell and senior Patty Lindquist with 10 each. Goaltender, junior Cammille Andrzejewski also contributed to a superb season. Although a few key seniors will be graduating, the leading scorers Matthews and Tideswell will return along with Andrzew jewski to provide another excellent year and further acquaint the people of Valparaiso University with the unique game of field hockey. - EKlLMP 1983 Valparaiso Field Hockey Team Kneeling Ueft to rightl: Barbara Wiekstrom, Cheryl Younger, Tammy Tideswell, Amy Rath.

JUMBLED Crusaders Fail To Be Pinned By Season T he VU Crusader wrestling squad en- dured a learning season in 1983-84. With freshmen comprising a large portion of the team, coach Norm Amundsen1s crew started the year with mixed success and ended it by facing some formidable toes. VU opened their schedule Dec. 2-3 at the little State Tournament in Greencastle, In- diana. The Crusaders were paced by four freshmen in the open tournament that had twelve to eighteen competitors in each weight class. Randy Cooper was VUts top finisher by taking second place honors at 126. Dec. 6 Valpo traveled to Elmhurst, Ill. and came away empty in two dual events. Elmhurst defeated the Crusaders 28-24. Cooper 11261 won by fall and VU picked up forfeits for the rest of their point total. After the narrow four point defeat, VU faced what Amundsen described as a well loaded Notre Dame squad and was shut out 53-0. The Crusaders turned their act completely around two days later by winning two match- es. VU defeated Concordia 28-26 and North Park 36-18 to even its duals record at 22. Jeff Pejkovich t1581 and Phil Fry 09D picked up victories against Concordia to pace VU. Against North Park, Dykstra 11581 and Fry each introduced the lights to their op- ponents to lead Valpo. Dec. 10 VU traveled to Anderson College for quadrangular action. The Crusaders finished third and were led by Cooper and Fry with second place finishes. - The Crusaders began their 1984 actior'i at the Elmhurst Tournament Jan. 20-21. VU finished twelfth out of 17 teams from around the mideast. Two graplers placed in the ac- tion. Capturing fifth place honors were Cooper and Pejkovich. January 28 was a day to forget for Crusader wrestling fans. Amundsents squad won one of tour matches at Wabash. Olivet defeated VU 42-7 to begin the day Next for Valpo was Indiana Central who handed them a 45-9 drubbing. Host Wabash then blew VU away 47-6. Fry was VUys only winner. The Crusaders won their last dual over DePauw 27-25. Forfeits, along with a Matt Bozik pin at 118 and a win by Del Kutemeier at 190, pro- pelled VU to their only victory of the day. Next for VU was the Heartland Collegiate Conference meet February 3-4 in In- dianapolis. Ashland won the event with 106.25 points. Host Indiana Central was run- nerup with 83 points and VU finished last at 39. The Crusaders collected two second place finishes, Wollam and Fry 0771. VU closed out their season February 11-12 at the prestigious 27-team Wheaten Tournament. - BK 1983-84 Valparaiso Wrestling Team Front row Heft to rightt: Marty Coman, Scott Rodenbeck, Randy Cooper, Randy Eveler.

Coach Winebrenner stated, itMany of the teams we played were made up of juniors and seniors who had played together a few years and had developed a sixth sense on reading their teammates. We had a much younger team and hadn,t developed this sense. Injuries also played a major factor during the season. Winebrenner mentioned that nagging injuries hampered the girFs play on the court which made it difficult for the girls to play. Also injuries to two key players midway through the season hurt the team,s performance during critical games. Although in conference play the team fail- ed to win a game Coach Winebrenner felt that Loyola twho finished first in the North Star Conferencei was the only team that outplayed them. uWe just didn7t have the edge to take it to the top and win? she said. Freshman players accumulated playing time and gained much needed experience. Among these team members were Kathy Schaak, Deanne Plonka and Chris Burton. Plonka played most of the season until a knee injury put her out a few games. Schaak saw action as a middle blocker while Burton helped out as a setter. Coach Winebrenner complimented sophomore Sherry LaMorticella on a fine job as setter. ttShe wasnit a setter last year but we converted her into one and she ended up being one of the more consistent setters we had? Also consistent in the game were Diane Lundquist in her serving and Nancy Deis as a middle blocker. With volleyball becoming such a specializ- ed sport, coach Winebrenner is looking for a brighter future for Valpots squad. The volleyball teamts younger players gained much needed experience during this yearis season. The team's future can only improve. e DVM 1983 Valparaiso Volleyball Team Kneeling tlett to righti: Deanne Plonka, Diane Lundquist, Lisa Delgade, Mary Ann Milligan, Michele Anderson, Chris Burtoni Standing: Coach Sue Winebrenner, Sherry LaMorticella, Becky Hyde, Nancy Deis, Kathy Schaak, Melody Koetge, Joyce Stewart, Barbara Braun, Coach Nick Cheronis.

Sparking the teamls success this season were seniors Kathy Wiesen, Carol Rodwan and Deb Lahti. Wiesen and Radivan were cited for their outside shooting abilities. Briars commented that the clutch shooting of the seniors would be greatly missed. Senior center Deb Lahti, who leads the team in re- bounds iaveraging 16 plus a gamel and is top- ranked nationally in this category, ithas a bet- ter sense of knowing where the rebound will be than anyone else I've ever coached, add- ed Briars . Lahti,s play proved to be an in- valuable asset to the Crusaders throughout the season. Despite the excellent play of the seniors, a lack of teamwork was an early obstacle for the women. As the season pro- gressed, the team begam to play as a whole, providing a motivating force for the team, Briars pointed out. The women Crusaders started the season off with a blistering 6-2 record which featured big wins over Butler, St. Francis, and the University of Chicago. Lahti led VUls scoring with 17 points against Butler and sank in a team high of 28 points against Chicago. A strong finish seemed in order for the team, but a mid season rollercoaster ride against tough competition put Valpo's record to 8-7. Although poor ball handling and cold shooting led to a three game losing streak, the un- daunted Crusaders bounced back with wins over Goshen and Taylor University, upping their record to 8-5, Denise Dunbar led the VU scoring attack against Goshen with 14 points. Looking at February as a key month for the team to peak and improve their record, it was back to losing as Valpo almost slipped to .500 with defeats at the hands of Indiana Institute and Marian College. Even with the threat of a mediocre season, the women Crusaders have had a season of improvement. Happy with his season and his players, Briars sees the women,s per- formance on the court as nothing short of suc- cessful this season. -BMP 1983-84 Valparaiso Womenls Basketball Team Kneeling itrom left to rightl: Kathy Wiesen, Sheila Kalas, Carol Radlvan, Sandy Rosenthal, Dede holt, Sarah Cross.

A promising year turned disastrous with a rash of injuries and the departure of celebrated hometown superstar Rob Harden. Tom Smith7s squad had Valpo buzzing after winning five of their first six contests, including an upset of the highly-regarded Bradley Braves. VU began their schedule at Hilltop gymnasium hosting Goshen. The Crusaders routed the Maple Leafs 86-65 before an enthusiastic capacity crowd. VU held a 36-33 halftime lead before blowing out the visitors in the second half. Harden in his Crusader debut led the assault with 28 points. Cold shooting at Butler evened the Crusader record. The Bulldogs defeated VU 56-44 while the Crusaders shot a frigid 284 from the field. VU returned home and crushed Huntington 89-65. The Crusaders warmed up in the shooting department, with senior John Meyne leading the way with 25 points. The Crusaders kept on the winning track in the next two contests with the heroics of Meyne. VU defeated Lewis 43-41 on Meyne,s 20-footer with two seconds on the clock. Meyne again took the spotlight in VUts 55-53 victory over DePauw. The cool senior nailed two free throws with two seconds remaining. Next for VU was the biggest challenge of the early season, Bradley. Surprisingly, VU con- trolled the contest from the opening tip. With the threat of a Brave comeback everpresent, the Crusaders three-guard offense stole the show. Harden poured in 22 while backcourt Meyne and John Mcllvian pitched in with 19 and 17 respectively. December 21 VU traveled to Notre Dame and the glass slipper was not to be found. The Fighting Irish trounced the Crusaders 80-48 to trigger VUts slump. Meyne hit 16 to lead VU. The next two evenings, the Crusaders com- peted in the Univ. of Alabama-Birmingham Classic in Birmingham, Alabama, The trip was no Christmas present. UAP defeated Valpo 64-49 and Samford nipped the Crusaders ,75-69. - Against UAB Harden collected 16 points and McIlvain 12. In the second contest, Meyne poured in 26 and Harden 22 while Pickren hit for 12 points and 10 rebounds. December 31, VU traveled north to Central Michigan and lost 78-67 evening their record at 5-5. Meyne hit for 21 and Pickren scored 20 points and collected 1 1 boards. At Cleveland State, Valpo broke their losing skid with a 52-49 victory. Harden led VU with 13 and Meyne chipped in with 10 points and boards. January 9, VU returned home to face Eastern Kentucky who nipped VU 60-55 in Rob Hardenk last game. Harden1s gesture toward assistant VU coach Dick Fick led to his indefinite suspension and eventual transfer. On January 14, Eastern Illinois came to town and handed Valpo a 58-52 loss. With Harden gone and Meyne injured, the Crusaders picked up 4 sets of 12 points from Asberry, Pickren, Jim Stueve, and John Geary. Two nights later, Valpo lost a close 41-40 con- test to Western Illinois. Valpo picked up a win in their next game against Wisconsin-Green Bay. VU defeated the Phoenix 35-33 while shooting just 2970. Next the Crusaders traveled to the Windy City and were blown right back by Univ. Illinois- Chicago, 96-65. Southwest Missouri State came to town January 28 and left with a 55-54 win. Once again Mayne led VU with 19 points. Northern Iowa came to Hilltop two nights later and beat VU 53-47. The Panthers turned a very close game to a win at the five minute mark when they took an eight point lead. VU next traveled to Western Illinois and were defeated 78-66. Meyne exploded for 31' while Asberry scored 14 and Pickren 13 to aid the Valpo cause. Two days later on the southwest swing, VU was defeated by SW Missouri to lower the season record to 7-13. 4 BK 1983- 84 Valparaiso Men s Basketball Team Kneeling tleft to righti: John Meyne, Rob Harden, Matt Mitchell, Mike Thompson, John McIlvain.

Despite an unencouraging lack of teammates the Crusan ders swam their hearts out, splashing to several victories and washing up old VU school records. The womenis team consisted of only five swimmers and three divers, but as Bretting was quick to point out, the Crusaders were not outclassed, just out numbered. Because of their lack of numbers, the women had to forfeit the relays making it extremely difficult to win meets. The women, however, did manage to be vic- torious during the season and to establish new records. Schools such as Alma, St. Marys, Butler, and DePauw failed to outswim the tiny but competitive squad. In the DePauw meet, freshman Carol Banke was a triple winner, which also included a school record in the 1000 freestyle. In the same meet, sophomore team captain Cathy Counsell was a double winner. In the 63-36 win over Alma College, Banke again was a triple win- ner tZOOIM, 100 fly, 100 backi. Her win in the 100 back was another school record. Another freshman, Mary Nay was also a tri- ple winner t1000 free, 500 free, 100 breasti. Other first place winners in the Alma meet were Counsel! and diver Joanne Mischanko, who won both the 1 meter and 3 meter event and established yet another school record in the 3 meter event. With a team comprised of mostly freshmen and sophomores, and with no seniors graduating, Bretting is looking for- ward to bigger and better things from the women,s swim team. -EK 1983-84 Valparaiso Woments Swim Team Front row Heft to righti: Joanne Mischanko, Bridget Schwablei Second row: Mary Nay, Deidre Gruben, Carol Banke.

The 8384 season was not very productive for the Crusaders who were under the direction of first year coach Michael Bretting. The teamls overall size was a major problem as the VU men found it difficult to compete against bigger and more established swimming programs. Coach Bretting joked, HWe arrived at a meet and the opposing coach asked me where the rest of the team wasfl Despite the teamls inability to win meets, excellent performances were given all season long by the VU swimmers. The men's squad consisted of only ten swimmers and no divers. The lack of divers caused the team to forfeit all diving events and thus lose valuable points. 1983-84 Valparaiso Menls Swim Team Men Experience Dry Season However, Valpo almost outswam the larger teams from Butler and DePauw universities. The men, while almost outnumbered 2 to 1 by DePauw, turned in one of their strongest per- formances of the year despite losing 60-48. Kurt Prange and Paul Sanford kept VU close with their respective victories in the 200 free style and 200 breast stroker Matt Thomas also had two victories to round out Valpo scoring. Outstanding swimmers for the Crusaders this season were Matt Thomas in the backstroke and freestyle events. Kurt Prange also was a standout in the freestyle. Other consistent performers for Valpo were Paul Jud, Jim Meulhausen, Paul Sanford, and cap- tain senior Jerry Chambers. e BK Front row llett to rightl: Tom Scheck, Dave Chiwn, Jerry Chambers.

ZESTY Enthusiasm Inspires Gymnasts to F 1111 Potential A bright future awaited Valpo's ex- perienced gymnastic squad, full of the enthusiasm and team unity necessary for a sport in which the top four individual per- formances in each event are tallied for the team score Injuries and illness caused the women to frequently compete without the benefit of a full team, resulting in low team scores. Coach Bev Reynolds commented, iiThe team performed better when they knew they had a full team with a better chance of winning? VU started off their season by defeating Wheaton College in early December. The gymnasts evened their record at 1.1 with a loss to competitive Indiana University before Christmas break. VU was outclassed twice in January, finishing fourth in a 4-way meet at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and placing a close fourth the following weekend at the Wheaton College Invitational. The women flipped back in early February, defeating University of Wisconsin-Platteville in a dual meet. High scores from Senior Holly Adams and sophomore Sue Jenkins helped boost the team scores throughout the season. HSue is consistent on bars. Even if she goofs up, we can still expect a high score from herfY Adams remained consistent in all four events, Senior Chris Harris, talent in the beam and floor exercises and sophomore Sue Taitls prowess on the vault also boosted VU scores.

The cynic in me saw Valpo only as the Lutheran University that my older brother had attended, while other universities were the true centers of academic and social development. Today, Jane Elizabeth however, I can honestly say that I know of few other institu- Heglrmbznn tions that combine religion, academics, and social life into a l 85, unified influence that develops one,s spirit, mind, and character within an environment of genuine concern within an environment for oneis fellow students. Hail to the brown and gold. Dan,s future plans include law school while his campus activities include Mortar Board, CC Steering, Social Stan- dard Committee, IFC representative, and Chairman of Stu- dent Senate Elections Committee.

The University has a very thorough selection process to assure the appointment of the very best student leaders on campus as RAs. Dean Ruosch feels that the RAs at VU are the unsung heroes on campus. She holds a great deal of respect and admiration for each one of them as they establish a balance among job responsibilities, academic work and personal needs. Most people who have been RAs describe the job as one of the most important and valuable learning experiences of their college careers. 187 188 SPOTLIGHT ON DORM DIRECTORS Bill and Mary Keienburg Judy Nantau On my first year as Lankenau Hall Resident Director: . . . 327 Women! All intelligent, all ready to learn and grow Exciting, caring, hugging, sharing. Freshwomen, transfers, and upperclasswomen come to Lankenau with dreams. I try to help them. How? By encouraging them to be their best, by reinforcing them when they are, by gently waiting and believing they can be when they are not. The role of a Resident Director in Lankenau is stimulating, challenging and exciting. I feel energized by the women who live here and the exciting things they make happen. I Believe Brandt Hall to be a progressive dorm. We are experiencing new ideas and changes. Brandtts pron gress can be recognized by the residents, their attitudes and their. growth. A dqrm is a-community and the conduct of life in any form of community requires accountable behavior. It is my job as director to see that the residents have a chance to solve the dayto-day problems of living together as well as to understand the persisting pro- blems of living in any group.

Working together also enables us to grow in friendship, trust, and maturity Alpha Xi Epsilon was founded in 1919. Our motto, ttFriendship born of loyaltyH and the red tea rose have symbolized the sorority through the years.

As a result of a decline in membership, forty girls united in a block and joined the sorority in 1975. The Bible passage above was their founding base and is still an important part of the Chis today. Although we recognize the individuality of the members of our sorority, the Chis are still united by the bond of our Christianity. 1983-1984 Officers This year we had a very special occurrence President Carol LeFevre in our sorority. As one of the girls was looking Vice President Lisa Mai through an old jewelry box, she came upon a Social Chairman Mary Stewart necklace given her by her grandmother.

In the tenth anniversary year, the pledge took a new twist. The house GPA climbed again, more than any other fraternity; the brothers still raised money each semester for the March of Dimes; and in- dividual brothers again became involved in cam- pus activities such as WVUR, the University Theatre, Film Society, and were initiated into academic honor societies. The new twist: It all happened in a new house. Delta Sigs relocated to 807 Mound, planning to ex- pand there in the coming years. Row 1: Tom Anderson, Ray Hively, John Sarratfee, Dave Johnson.

This fall, Delta Theta Phi Law Fraternity met with John F. Kennedy Jr. and Charles Rockefeller, the deans of DTP senates at Brown and Princeton Universities. A raucous party ensued at the DTP beach house at Flint lake. Dean Klumpe of the Valparaiso senate then travelled to the international convention in Dallas, Texas which marked the 50th year of Delta Theta Phi progress. Klumpe spoke on behalf of the only undergrad senate. Specifical- ly he spoke on behalf of advancing the interests of the law profession, making the analogy with that of the science of medicine in the respect that it is far more easy to point out what will do harm than what will do good. Concluding, he stated, HThat if there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers? Valpo specific, DTP won the float contest for the first time since 1961. The ten Pre-law pledges of fall 83 were successful in earning a substantial amount for the llPorter County Legal Consortium which aids senior citizens and their legal needs. This year DTP will again defend their water basketball crown; thus, maintaining their aqua dynasty. The brothers are looking forward to the annual Spring For- mal held at the American Hotel and resort in Lake Geneva.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI um em mwi t W Kappa Alpha Psi is a national fraternity that was founded in 1911 by ten black undergraduates at Indiana University. The fraternity distinguishes itself from other greek letter organizations by emphasizing brotherhood and achievement among its members. The fraternity1s colors are crimson and cream. Members of Kappa Alpha Psi can be found in many active and graduate chapters around the country and abroad. Among the many influential members of this fraternity are former tennis great Arthur Ashe, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Tom Bradley, currently the Mayor of Los Angeles, is also a member of Kap- pa Alpha Psi. Valparaiso University1s chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Aeta Alpha Chapter, is a itswing chapter with several colleges and universities in the Gary, Indiana Area. The chapter works closely with the Black Cultural Center on cam- pus and provides social events for university students. Kappa Alpha Psi also serves the com- munity through its Big Brother-Little Brother program in Gary, another program called Kap- pa League aids disadvantaged children, and on the VU campus picnics are sponsored both in the Fall and Spring which are open to all students. During Homecoming a dance is spon- sored with the proceeds going to the Sheryl Hargrove Scholarship Foundation. Four members in the Gary area, of Kappa Alpha Psi are on campus. Professor William J . Neal, Coordinator of Special Programs, serves as the chaptefs faculty advisor. Upper: Thomas Barnett, Kenny Darden, Lower: After the Ramsey Lewis Concert a N9 W? v t w Richard Pierce.

A tradition since it was founded at Howard University in 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorori- ty, Inc. has grown to a membership of over 70,000 women throughout the world. Since its beginning, the sorority has strived to achieve its g6a1 of providing services to alleviate social pro- blems. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority furnishes enriching and intellectual experiences for the community and its members through its efforts to fulfill this goal. Nu Lambda Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. encompasses the campuses of In- diana University Northwest, Purdue-Calumet, Calumet College and Valparaiso University. The chapter has sponsored many activities to accomplish its goal. These include visiting hospitals, sponsoring lectures for the American Cancer Society on cancer and assisting the Red Cross foster awareness of high blood pressure and blood disease. Providing necessary assistance to others and maintaining the close bond of sisterhood are primary goals that Nu Lambda Chapter in particular and Alpha Kap- pa Alpha Sorority in general will continue to exhibit.

Again we sponsored several social and charity events including Air Band III weekend to raise money for the Scott Lohr memorial scholarship fund, which was our most suc- cessful fund-raiser ever. Homecoming was again very enjoyable with Lambda Chi and Chi Sigma Xi striving to build the worldls largest float for the parade. The spring semester was filled with events like our annual Easter Egg Hunt for faculty children. We again had our sorority kidnap and Olympics, which was won by the Alpha Xi Epsilon sorority who donated over 1000 cans to the United Way as ransom for their president. Finally we participated in Songfest with an all iloriginalll show and hosted Air Band II. It appears that 1984 will be filled with even more social and charity events.

Who could forget all those unusual jobs from Slave Day? Zeta mistletoe, pledging survival kits and Daisies help to finance our many activities. Through Swing-A-Thon and our adopted Grandma Mary Guyton, we are able to help others. The highlight of the social year is our Fall Boat Formal in Chicago. There is nothing like the Chicago skyline at night for a more perfect evening. Homecoming is a time for welcoming back Alumni and for appearing as Zeta Little People in the Homecoming parade. This year is very special for the Zetas as we celebrate our 35th Anniversary. Spring semester brings Rush and then pledging. It is always exciting to welcome new members into the unique and special sisterhood of Kappa Tau Zeta. Spring Formal is a memorable night with dinner and lots of dancing. Of course, we cannot forget Spring Weekend and Songfest. The 1982 lst Place trophy looks right at home in our chapter room!

Smaller groups such as barbershop quartets and brass ensembles have provided music for many campus and community functions. We enjoy singing to the sororities during sorority caroling and to the campus during Songfest. We also supply ushers for University concerts and recitals and are patrons of the music department.

Individuality in the Phi Psils House allows friendships to grow and college memories to be developed. During the year of 1983, we were very active in community events and attained many achievements within the fraternity. Among campus activities during 1983, the Phi Psfs won the All Sports Trophy for intramural competition. We also achieved the highest house average GPA, an achievement that has been attained for the past five semesters. Our homecoming float also received a first place standing for originality. Phi Psils also had the highest participation in the Greek Run. The Phi Psils were also active in community activities during 1983. Some of these activities that we participated in included sponsoring a child through the llCompassioNl program, participating in the Popcorn Festival, donating money to the Greenwich House, and participating in nursing home programs at Christmas time. The Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity also has members actively involved in business, engineering, and other honor programs at the university. We also have members participating in overseas study programs in Cambridge and Germany. The Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity enjoys being socially active and hopes to continue being active in community events and campus activities on Valparaiso Universityls campus. w W Upper: Phi Psils enjoy the football game Center: A group of Phi Psils enjoy a rap session.

The Delts began in 1945. They were the last sorority to move into Scheele Hall in 1961. On March 15, 1965 Delta Chi Epsilon reorganized and changed its name to Phi Omega. Since then, Phi 015 have established many traditions such as Sweetest Day Treats, Las Vegas Night, and Little Brothers. We take pride in everything we become involved in such as service projects, social events and winning the tug-of-war in the 1983 Homecoming games. Most important of all, Phi Omega is a sorori- ty based on friendship with the purpose of help- ing each other grow and function as individuals.

Our excellent scholastic record as well as our involvement in various campus organizations has been a constant source of pride. Phi Sigs are involved in virtually every aspect of campus life including varsity and in- tramural athletics, interfraternity council ex- ecutive board, WVUR, union board, residential ministry, chapel choir, and several honorary societies. Our participation in these organiza- tions combined with our active social calendar and our volunteer work with community charities makes for an exciting and busy year for the men of Phi Sigma Epsilon.

In 1953 the brothers became chartered as the Epsilon Beta chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. During the fall of 1970, the Pikes left their old home at 608 Lincolnway and moved to their present location at 803 Mound Street. During the 19705, the Pikes enjoyed a period of growth and achievement. Today, the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity strives for ex- cellence in all areas of campus life. Academically, the Pikes boast student leaders in engineering, business, and the liberal arts. Recent graduates have moved on to suc- cessful careers in many fields, while several others are attending graduate school. Athletically, the chapter has maintained a strong standing in the intramural standings. During 1983, the Pikes captured All-Campus championships in softball, golf, and tennis, while winning the Fraternity title in football . In the 1983 Songfest, the Pikes placed first in the metfs division for the fourth time in five years. uA Salute To Damesi' included famous songs such as IiOne0 and iiHeIlo Dolly? Socially, the brothers highlighted their year with the Fifth Annual Super Pig-Roast, held on Homecoming weekend. The seventy-eight ac- tive members were joined by over one hundred thirty alumni for this event. In the future years, the members of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity are looking for con- tinued growth and success on the Valparaiso University campus.

The year was highlighted by our 10th Sig-Ep Weekend and 15th annual luau, plus the addi- tion of a brand new bar. Herds to another ex- cellent year THE BEST OF LUCK TO THE CLASS OF 84!!

The Fraternity is dedicated to the highest ideals of manhood and brotherhood; to congeniality, the development of good personal characteristics and social poise; to good scholarship, mature thinking and action: to good citizenship, democratic principles and acceptance of responsibility; and to loyalty and service to col- lege, community, country, and Fraternity. 263 264 THETA CHI The beginning of classes in the fall of 1983 involved the return of the Theta Chis to 804 Union. As a result of the many hours of restora- tion and maintenance done over the summer, the house itself has never looked better. The appearance of the house is a reflection of the uriity and concern of the brothers. With'Homecoming highlighting our fall ac- tivities, we proceeded with preparations for our weekend guests from Hillsdale College lthe Kappa Kappa Gamma Sororityl, the Hallo- ween Party, and our Christmas festivities. In the spring much of our time was devoted to Spring Formal preparation, rush functions, civic projects, and an overall attempt to make the campus a better place. The memories of this academic year will strengthen the brotherhood as a unit as well as the men of Theta Chi individually. The result is and always will be a fraternal bond which most people will never experience. Upper: Halloween at the Theta Chi House was a night that most of the brothers wish they could remember.

The Kappa Phi Chapter was installed at Valparaiso University on April '30, 1983, becoming the 206th chapter of the interna- tional fraternity. The challenge of establishing a new chapter at VU motivated the charter members throughout their organizational and pledging period. Deltasigk first year at VU included its Annual Pizza Contest, where students and Valpo residents sampled pizza from local establishments; speakers from-the Nuclear Regulatory Agency, the Chicago Board of Trade, and NIPSCO; tours of Bethlehem Steel and a Milwaukee brewery; fraternity softball games, ski day, and pizza parties; a food drive and other service projects. Through the fraternity, the brothers of Delta Sigma Pi enjoy a close bond with their peers and meet many challenges encountered in the business world.
