VAIIIDAIDAIND IUNIIVIElDSIITDV p eeeee ts WII-lllf IBIEAVDDN 66A SVIEAUD IINI IDIEVIIIEM'D'! 1IGD88 Valparaiso University Valparaiso, Ind aaaaaaaaa llllllllllll is of our livea All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwill- ingly to school. And then the lover, sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his mis- tress' brow. Then a soldier, full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, jealous in honour, sud- den and quick in quarrel, seek- ing the bubble reputation even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, in fair round belly with good capon lin'd, with eyes severe and beard of formal cut, full of wise saws and modern instances; and so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, with spectacles on nose and pouch on side; his youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide for his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, turning again to- ward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, is second chil- dishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. ---- Shakespeare, AS YOU LIKE IT.

Act l Scene i Julie: Sharon, do you have your opening copy yet? Sharon: Well, kind of: l have it all in my head but i just can't think of how to start it. Karie: What's it on? Maybe we can help. Sharon: 1 want to explain how Shakespeare's Ages of Man speach fits our life and how Valpo fits one of the acts that he describes. A lot of what we wrote is perfect for our theme and life really does go along with what he suggests. Magically, the overhead lights go out and the new desk lamp swings around so that it is shining on Sharon like a spot light. Julie and Karie sit listening patiently while Shar- on flounders through an explanation of the ages of man. Sharon: All the world's a stage. Throughout life we are forever acting out everything we have learned. Not just one person, but ev- ery man and woman a person encounters is acting a part in the drama of life. Shake- speare believes that there are seven acts in a person's life. They start with childhood, proceed to young adulthood, and then pro- gresses to senility. As one moves through the different acts, one also encounters var- ious scene. For the students of Valparaiso, the cam- pus is our stage, our props are the buildings we live in and learn in, and our fellow actors are the remaining thirty-eight hundred stu- dents, faculty, and administrative staff. Life during our college years can be compared to the act of life Shakespeare describes as the lover. During our college years we are carefree youth expanding our knowledge in all areas of life. We develop our ideals, morals, and views during this time. By the end of this period we are generally pre- pared to step out into the real world. Unfortuately for most of us there is no dress rehearsal for this play. When we are cast for our parts it is for an opening perfor- mance that lasts our lifetime. So next time you're sitting around feeling down and moody, remember that Shakespeare direct- ed us that the time to be young doesn't come again, so enjoy. --- Sharon Cannon, Editor in Chief Hold fast your dreams! Within your heart Keep one still, secret spot Where dreams may go, And, sheltered so, May thrive and grow Where doubt and fear are not. 0 keep a place apart, Within your heart, For little dreams to go! Think still of lovely things that are not true. Let wish and magic work at will in you. Be sometimes blind to sorrow. Make believe! Forget the calm that lies In disillusioned eyes. Though we all know that we must die, Yet you and I May walk like gods and be Even now at home in immortality We see so many ugly things - Deceits and wrongs and quarrelings; We know, alasl we know How quickly fade The color in the west, The bloom upon the flower, The bloom upon the breast And youth's blind hour. Yet keep within your heart A place apart Where little dreams may go, May thrive and grow. Hold fast - hold fast your dreams!

What other snack can be had that cheaply? You can indulge health-conscious tendencies by eating it plain, or smother it with butter, salt, cheese, or even - heaven forbid - caramel, and enjoy calories with your ecstasy! Popcorn is certainly something which is celebrated by college students again and again through- out the year. In Valparaiso, though, pop- corn is Celebrated by the whole community in early September. 1987 saw Valparaiso's 9th Annual Popcorn Festival and the return visit of Orville Redenbacher, the king of gourmet popcorn and a Valparaiso native. In fact, Orville is probably the closest thing Valparaiso has to a patron saint, and this year was his 80th birthday - Valparaiso set out to do it right! For the 9th consecutive year, Valparaiso was filled with popcorn of all forms and sizes in the Annual Popcorn Festival. After a week of special community events, includ- ing Orville Redenbacher's 80th birthday party, the University and community joined W: a in celebrations on Saturday, September 12th. Students, faculty, and administrators alike joined in the 5 mile Popcorn Panic bright and early in the morning. Later in the morning, university and com- munity watched the parade down Lincoln- way and mingled amongst the various dis- plays of crafts and food throughout the downtown area. Of course, popcorn could be seen everywhere: on parade floats, being eaten by children, and being sold in any quantity you could possibly want. Activities continued throughout the rest of the day, with the Valparaiso community joining the university at Brown Field for the annual Popcorn Bowl. This year the Crusad- ers faced the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. Next year the popcorn will fly again as September brings the Annual Popcorn Fes- tival with it. The Valparaiso community and university will again share what has become a college tradition: popcorn. - Debbie Petersen 1.

This year's New Or- leans theme brightened up the beginning days of fall with colorful floats and games. A larger-than-usual turnout showed up on Lincolnway and the rest of the parade route to view the results of weeks of float building displayed in the Homecoming Parade . Homecoming really began with the re- turn of Valparaiso alumni toward the end of the week. The University sponsored various activities for the returnees. Concerts, din- ners, and luncheon gatherings galore were offered in many academic and organiza- tional contexts. Fraternity and sorority alumni gravitated back to the old house or Chapter Room to talk over old times with other alumni, or to compare old and new times with current active members. The Homecoming games took place on Friday, and, as usual, the traditional bonfire was canceled due to the weather. Roam gaunt; ihethrti; Sororities and Fraternities prepared for the festivities by secretly building floats and not-so-secretly firing up. There was plenty for everyone to do - houses needed cleaning, kegs had to be bought, and activi- ties planned. The dorms decorated their outsides and insides with banners urging the Crusaders to victory, adding colorful touches to the University's usually mild brick exterior. Although it was cold and wet, a good crowd showed up to watch and participate in the Homecoming games. Sigma Chi Sig- ma won most of the competitions, such as the keg toss, tug-of-war, and slime-in. Prizes included pizza, refreshing DQ bliz- zards, and more. On Friday, the Homecoming King and Queen were selected. David Boyle and Tara Meyer won the contest. Dave was nominat- ed by Phi Beta Chi, and Tara by Brandt Hall. They cruised down Lincolnway in a con- vertible on Saturday, smiling and waving royally at the crowds. The actual Homecoming game on Satur- day was held in the bright sun that had finally poked through the thick clouds that had hovered over Valpo all week. The Cru- saders battled for victory against the Grizz- lies in a fierce match of tactics and strength. Unfortunately, the Crusaders were defeat- ed in the end, 56 to 35. Even though we did not win at football, we won by bringing many old friends back together and making new ones. Even the alumni got caught up in the Mardi Gras spirit. All in all, Homecoming in New Or- leans or Indiana, turned out to be an excit- ing time for all concerned. - -Lissa Bittner Mike Seefeldt 1i The football team debates whether they want to leave the field at halftime. 2i Christopher Collier turns in surprise as the football team executes a good play.. 3 The Phi Kappa Psi and Chi Sigma Xi Homecoming glow worm is bursting with color and energy along the parade route. 4i Julie Rahn, Kim Bentley, Carla Ebert, and Kristen Lien are exploding with personality at the coronation - or are they just trying to pick up men? 5i Do you ever feel like someone's watching you?

Despite the name, this is not a pro- gram exclusively for pre-seminary students. Christ College is VU's Honors College. Twenty-five years ago a directive studies program, emphasizing more individualized studies, was initiated at VU as alternative education for honors students. By the mid- 1960's, President O.P. Kretzmann estab- lished a full-fledged honors college, later called Christ College, or llCC. CC was based in part on British models, with both Oxford and Cambridge having Christ Col- leges as well. The honors college was established to combat what President Kretzmann saw as an increased emphasis on professionaliza- tion - a threat, as he perceived it, to the central mission of the liberal arts ground- ings of the University. Kretzmann also was interested in the relationship of Christianity to intellectual studies, and he was interest- ed in having the best of students struggle with this. The Christ College curriculum was in- tended to include both integration and ex- ? perimentation from its origins. By including integration as a focus, the college wmuld be interdisciplinary and provide a liberal arts grounding for all colleges. ' The Freshman Program was integrated into the CC. curriculum in 1972, and has retained its basic purposes in its evolution since then. The Production became an es- tablished tradition with original music and w . drama trying to incorporate new ideas and : materials and new ways to present them. Christ College is looking forward to many more years of integration and experimenta- tion. Dean Meyer of Christ College feels that the college has matured in this time, but, he adds, the basic ideas and purposes are still the same. --- Debbie Petersen 1.

W; M W- Convenience, Space, Closer Contact Formerly, when a newcomer arrived on campus, he or she would be in for a fair amount of confusion as he or she searched for the various offices needed to conduct crucial business. With the centralization of many offices in the new administration building of Kretzmann Hall, however, life will be easier for both students and Univer- sity personnel. Kretzmann Hall, formerly Wesemann Hall, the law school, now houses the Presi- dent, several of the deans, the Admissions and Financial Aid offices, the Housing Of- fice, Business Office, Student Affairs, the University Guild, and the Registrar, among other offices involved in the operation of daily life at Valpo. No longer will the stu- dent have to run from one building to an- other, trying to get information or correct a problem. The move also gives the adminis- trative offices more room and close contact with each other. Kretzmann Hall offers large meeting rooms where the administra- tion can hold conferences at a location con- venient to everyone. Inadequate facilities prompted the relo- cation of the Student Counseling Center and Security to better areas, and both the old buildings were demolished. The Coun- seling Center moved to the building behind LeBien Hall. This building offers more space for the counselors and for the Career Re- source Center. Campus Security is now the basement of Guild Hall. Other offices moved from old campu: more central locations, such as the Inter tional Studies Center, which now reside Mueller Hall. Although the changes have been ml with optimistic views, the real test is come in the fall, when returning stude hopefully will find the changes more 0 venient. Now a student will be able to admitted, discuss financial aid, register,; pay the school bill all in one building. ---Stephanie Scha 1. The HOval Office. 2. It's not an easy job working security! 3.

The year started out with the Presidential hope- fuls getting an early jump on mud-slinging and generally boring the American people. The issues in the election started out to be the economy, the deficit in particular. However, the real issues soon became clouded as the media became more inter- ested in the morality of the candidates than their stands on the economy, defense, foreign affairs, and the plight of the home- less. The summer brought the American peo- ple the Iran-Contra scandal live from the halls of Congress. A three-ringed circus soon sprang up, missing only the animal acts. A parade of clowns from both the Ad- xs sx s f $ hero, in spite of the fact that he and his accomplices managed to prolong a war, en- danger American servicemen, and generally hurt the Conservative cause. In the Fall, the American people were treated to a mockery of the process of choosing a Supreme Court Justice. In a pro- tracted battle, Congress managed to inject politics into the Court and set a dangerous precedent, jeopardizing the impartiality of the High Court. In the end a Judge was appointed, but in this year celebrating the 200th birthday of the U.S. Constitution, one wonders what the founding fathers would say. The winter brought one of the few bright A PRE-PRIMARY REPORT hhhmmmam v A Year Of Scandal And Controversy spots of the arena of politics. The Presiden was able to shake off the clouds of Iran-gatt and negotiate an arms treaty with the Sovi ets. The year ended with a visit from tht Soviet Premier, and the signing of the Inter mediate Nuclear Forces treaty. World politics proved to be much mort encouraging, but at the same time mot dangerous. Not long into the year Corazo Aquino was able to win her country's elect tion, proving she was a strong national leat er. However, her strength was to be testet in a political coup d' etat by the Philippin Army. Happily, Mrs. Aquino was ablett beat the coup and remain in power; proo that democracy can survive in a third worl nation. Other startling, but encouraging, devet found itself with the task of keeping the set lanes open. In spite of Congressional sab- tage, the Navy did the job. Now there are rumors of a possible scaling down of the size of the force there. Without a doubt, 1987 is a year that will not soon be forgotten. Politics were a mess, but we have all seen worse and in some cases things did get better. All that l cansat for 1988 is to pick your party and VOTEIIBt the way, by the time you read this, the 138th Democratic Presidential debate should be on.

Medical developments this past year were astounding with the AIDS scare, eutha- nasia, aspirin break-throughs, and artificial dietary substitutes. The highest publicized issue of this year was AIDS, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. This is a disease that attacks the T-helper cells in the blood, and leaves the victim without any immunity. The victims die soon after from another illnesses, that would leave a normal person with just a sniffle. The groups that are mostly affected are homosexuals and IV drug users. The transport modes of the disease were found to be blood and other body excretions. Fear and panic were imposed onto all Americans, especially those who weren't happily settled into a monogamous relationship. Out of concern for those engaging in sex outside a monogamous relationship, a campaign promoting safe sex by use of condoms and knowledge of one's partner was started and sup- ported by the U.S. Surgeon General. Another issue rocking the medical profession was the report of the mercy killing, or euthanasia, of a patient by her doctor. The report came from the January 8th issue of the journal of The American Medical Association. A young doctor was asked by his patient to end her life. The doctor complied, giving her an overdose of morphine, causing death within four minutes. The question of whether the act is murder or an act of compassion has been a matter of great controversy for many. The situtation is not uncommon, although the act is usually com- mitted by a member of the patient's family and not the doctor. This situtation caused a dark shadow on the medical profession. Are doctors playing God? Aluminuim was found to have a direct link to Alz- heimer's disease. This is the disease that slowly de- stroys the victim's memory and reduces his or her mental capacity to that of an infant. An aspirin a day is found to keep the doctor away. It was found that a person taking an aspirin once every other day significantly lowers the chance of having a heart attack. This past year 2.1 million Americans died. Three quarters of a million died from heart disease; this is more than cancer, stroke, accidents and pneumonia put together. Because of further findings on the artificial heart, research and development on the project was dropped. It was found to cause more harm to the recipient than good. Many toes were stepped on when smoking was banned in all public places in California. The first city in CA to ban smoking in restaurants was Beverly Hills. The entire country soon followed suit, banning smoking in federal buildings and many other public places. Soon it will be hard to find a public place without an entire ban on smoking, or else a special place will be set aside for those who want to light up. A federal law prohibits smoking on all airflights of less,than three hours. After the great commercial success of Nutras- weet, the company which discovered it developed a fat substitute. This substitute would taste like fat, but was reported as having no calories. This would allow for many foods, such as dairy products, with a high fat content, to maintain the consistency of the llreal thing and allow those watching calories and cholesterol intake to eat those foods that were pre- viously forbidden. Thanks to the hard work of diligent physicians and scientists throughout the world, we came to know much more about the world and its effect on us in 1987-88. Through these discoveries and others, Americans will hopefully be able to benefit by plan- ning their lifestyles more intelligently in the future. - William P.

The Lighter strives for a stan- dard of excellence that students will work to attain. It also gives writers a chance to critique others' works in order to improve their own quality. For the serious aesthete, The Lighter offers a place for expression and appreciation. THE BEACON .. . Twenty-five years from now, college students will look back on their yearbooks with a special fondness and today in 1987, the students working for the Beacon will have a particular place in their hearts for this year's yearbook. Students working toward a huge project such as the yearbook get the experience of pulling to- gether on a project, finishing it, and having so many enjoy the final product. In working together, confidence is built and this be- comes a real job that could help in future years. THE TORCH The newspaper has al- ways been an excellent means of communi- cation, and the Torch is no exception. It keeps VU students up to date on campus activities as well as world issues. For those students working on the Torch, actual hands-on experience is the best experience they'll ever get for a job after graduation. For those students who simply wish to ex- press an opinion, the Torch is an excellent place for such an outlet. Those who work on the Torch derive a great satisfaction from the publication of each issue - know- ing that they have had a hand in Valpo's Torch tradition serves as a reward in itself. WVUR Our campus radio station, WVUR, offers many services to the campus community: newscasts, weather forecasts, sports, public service announcements for any non-profit organization, cultural and religious programming, and, of course, mu- sic - both Top 40 and for specialized inter- ests, such as jazz or classical. Students in- volved in WVUR benefit from the station by taking advantage of the possibility of intern- ships, training ground for real-world job, or just learning from it as a fun hobby or inter- est. Providing campus services and personal benefits to its staff, WVUR remains a vital part of campus life. ---Michelle Carey 1.

I hadn't seen him since summer because I had been here at Valparaiso and he had been breezing through his third year at Harvard Law. I almost was late, dear, he said, as he pulled out my chair and presented me with a single red rose, be- cause the cashier at the florist gave me twenty cents too much change and I didn't realize it until I was twelve blocks away! My college sprinting experience sure came in handy so that I could return it and still make it here on time! He brushed a lock of thick dark hair off of his forehead and smiled down at me from his 6'4 before taking his seat. He reached across the table and began to slowly and firmly massage my hand, and I stared straight into his blue eyes. Are we still going to go to the Health Club to- night? I asked. I've already been there twice today but I'll go again if you want to, he said. Of course, you already look so beautiful just the way you are that you don't even need to work out. I shifted my gaze to his broad shoulders and muscular chest, and as I returned to meet his intense green eyes I said, No, you're the one who doesn't need to work out. You had a chance at a pro-football contract! Let's just have a qui- et evening with dinner out and then come back here and relax and listen to music he suggested. The waitress came over and he ordered a pitcher of beer for himself and a glass of white wine for me. When it came, he downed half of his pitcher, without using a glass, and then ordered another one. l'What time do you want me to pick you up for church tomorrow? he said. He finished the rest of his first pitcher and smiled again, his grey eyes sparkling. After early church, I thought we could fly to Paris for a few days. We can put it on my Gold Card. Then he looked at me seriously and said: llBut only if it would be convenient for you, dar- ling. Your feelings always come first with me. We could always go bowling or rent movies or something. As long as we don't get 'Bambi' or any of those La'ssie movies again - you know I always cry at those. I smiled at him indulgently and thought, in amazement How wonderful - he can even form complete sentences! The above sketch is a composite profile of the Ideal Man, as comprised from the responses of Valpo women when asked for their definition of this creature. Although the possessor of any of these qualities would be a lucky man, maybe it is better that this composite being does not exist. Come to think of it, isn't it the imperfec- tions that make life interesting? I think that it would be more fun to know a Real Person than an ldeal Man after all!

He brushes the long blonde hair away from her deep blue eyes and well-tanned features. She awakens, cheerful as always, to his whisper: You're my beautiful little nymph. She kisses him tenderly and reluctantly rolls out of bed. Her long, lean legs glide as gracefully as a dancer to the kitchen. The gourmet returns moments later with a romantic breakfast in bed. You cook so well, and make it taste oh so good, he moaned. He suddenly realizes the time and asks the scantily-clad sexual dynamo to turn on the television. The Bears are on, he says. Diligently, she obeys, her brown eyes spark- ling at the chance to serve her husband. I love sports too, she says, but I can't wait until a time out so I can start the laun- dry. At halftime, he willingly does the break- fast dishes to share in the relationship's re- sponsibilties, but more so because he can't stand Jimmy the Greek. As they watch the rest of the game to- gether, she finishes knitting a pair of baby booties for their recent arrival. It's so nice to have a family. I love taking care of both of y you, but I'm also glad I still have a career. He agrees, thinking to himself how nicely her income adds to the party and travel plans. He still can't believe how quickly she moved up the corporate ladder at the bank. Her dedication to him, work, and family while still maintaining her sense of inde- pendence really impresses him. She has so much, he thinks, in addition to knowing how many ways whipped cream can be used. He looks at her sleek body and short brown hair with a love as strong as the day that the minister joined them in mar- riage. The game ends, he reminds her of the evening party. They ready themselves and arrive, as usual, at the precise moment good taste fashionably allows. Her superb taste in clothing, natural beauty, and Charisma make everyone's head turn as she enters the room. She immedi- ately engages in conversation leaving him to sip a Tanqueray and tonic with his friends. They meet a few minutes later, she miss- ing him, he excited to see her. The jealous glances from the party guests and whispers of their love reinforce their bond. She drives him home on the vintage Har- ley, her long brown hair blowing in his face, his hands tightly gripped to her curving hips. They get home and roll into bed en- joying each other's company. As everyone knows, there are very few women out there that would fit the strict requirements that men would love them to fit. But even men realize that to have to live with the perfect creature could bring about hard times. After all, to live with someone who is perfect wouldn't you wonder about yourself and if you are living up to the other person? Therefore men at Valpo, like the women of Valpo realize that perfection isn't necessary for happiness to be found. There are two famous sayings that fit so perfectly, Beauty is found in the eyes of the behold- er, and Beauty many times is only skin deep. 50 gentlemen, keep that in mind and search on for your happiness.

I moved into the dorm :l yesterday, and I'm all settIed. I can't believe I have another year in the dorm, though. What I wouldn't do for a sweet apartment! You gotta love the thought of it! Oh, well, I'm deter- mined to make this year a riot anyway! -t A Sunday, August 30 - Classes have begun, home- work has begun, and the first weekend on Mound Street is over. It was the classic party scene: men scoping women, women scoping men, the bar room swarming with people, and an inch of beer on the floor. Becky, Sue, Jodie, and I went down expecting a Iame party, but had an incredible time. All the parties were extremely happenin' and we were all out of control. Despite the fact that Jodie was stuck dancin' and slinkini with some dweeby guy, we all picked up a hot man and mashed with him. We danced all night and had a kick-ass time. Needless to say, I'm draggin' a bit today. Tuesday, Sept. 15 - OK, so it's been awhile but you know, shit happens! The work I have for classes is incredible, but who ever said college was easy? I'm definitely taking a power nap in a few minutes or else I'Il crash right in the mid- dle of my exam tomorrow. All right, enough about classes. I'd been having an extremely lame social life until last weekend! I scammed this hot man Friday night and then flung with him both Fri- day and Saturday nights. He's not even the type that boinks every girl he meets - isn't that a concept? but is also a majority of the college just a slight demonstration of how my student's everyday speech. In fact, slang is often used. Monday, Sept. 28 - Now, if that didn't just stomp on my buzz! freshmen went out Saturday night. Everyone on t Mound was in rare form, V' though, including freshmen I men! Who knows, this year could turn out to be a riot t after aIII ' Monday, Nov. 2 - I'm never drinking again! Not only did 'I blow all over the place Saturday night, but I'm still hangin' today! The only part worse than the A chuke was that I flung with this butt-ugly dweeb. I want to just crawl in a hole and die! Friday, Dec. 18 - Rock n' Roll! Finals are over! Ilm such the happy camper! This semester has been great, but at the same time it's been a bummer, too. I studied a Iot, crammed a Iot, and grades paid off, but I think I blew off a IittIe more than I should have. I still feel like I've drained my brain and I couldn't study another set of notes. But it's all behind me now, and l'm ready to go home for Christmas break. When I come back next semester, I'll be sportin' a fresh attitude and a positive outlook. I've decided that college is only a pseudo-life anyway, and there's no reason to stress over it! By - Lisa Pinkstaff W , DB ow Chow verb memo?

You walk over a well mowed tundra to class, then afterwards over to the Union to get a Check cashed and study at the Union. These seemingly normal activities would not be half as easy without the constant and dili- gent activity of many people. Although we usually take them for granted, if we did not have our campus staff to take care of us life would be much more of an effort than it already is here at VU. That light you turned on when you got up in the morning is kept functioning by your Physical Plant. These workers unlock doors when RA's cannot be found, fix squeaky hinges and loose outlets, and in general take care of all of the environmental ha- zards of dorm life which would make us tear our hair out if they all happened at once. The clean shower you stepped into this morning is kept spic and span courtesy of the cleaning ladies in each dorm. These Iong-suffering ladies often become moth- er-type figures to the sloppy, messy, and dirty students clean up after. One of these ladies, Nancy, who was assigned to Krein- heder my Freshman year, still remembers the time I dislocated my knee, and, four years later, still asks me about it when I see her in Scheele. The cafeteria workers begin slaving away hours in advance before the breakfast, lunch, or dinnertime rushes begin at the Grail and dorm cafeterias. Others, who serve the food, have to deal with the same stupid jokes from students about the My- stery Meat or Chicken Tetrachloride. There are also the ones who meander up to the counter and, after staring stupidly at the selections for approximately five minutes, ask What IS that? Can you imagine how difficult it must be for the workers to refrain from returning with llRead the menu, you jerk!

Come late August, the new co-eds find themselves stumbling around parents and towers of crates, in an attempt to intro- duce themselves to a stranger - otherwise known as a roommate - with whom they are to share their space for the next nine months. Even minor details, such as learning the relationship between a scalding hot shower and a flushing toilet, are new and trying experiences. Yet, apart from the confusion, freshman life does have quite a few advantages. The opportunities to meet new people are prac- .1 .4 a a o? o,, w a m EM tically endless for the first couple of weeks, and events such as playfair allow people to first greet each other by asking that burning question: Are you a zucchini, egg plant, or tomato?ll For many freshmen, being active and in- volved is simply a way of life. To some, this means being involved in student govern- ment, to others it means participating in some sort of club or sport. Regardless, there are always new opportunities to keep busy, whether it is a trip to Chicago or a Tuesday night movie. For the less ambitious and outgoing, decorating their dorm rooms is a way of getting involved. Many of the room doors 1l I don't care what you say. We're going to go pick some women! 2l No!

Despite the adjustments, trials and tribl lations - whether it is turning an ent white load of wash pink or buying wrong books - the beginning year of .1 lege can definitely be a rewarding exp ience, as many freshmen will agree. ---Stephanie Schai SETTING: It was one of those mornings -- the kind we were beginning to get used to. Those mornings were the end of an all-nighter and the start of another. We did sleep an hour or two during those weeks, taking turns, Sharon on a shelf and I under a desk. They were our beds and the Union was our home. As we looked around at the mess created the night before in our one-room apart- ment . We decided that we needed to Get Away Pronto! We also knew that our color deadline was approaching and we had no pictures of Chicago. Kill two birds with one stone, they say, right? We arrived in Chicago at about 3:00 P.M. on a Thursday afternoon. Neither one of us had ever been to the city . Now some people might have considered this a problem, but Sharon and I, being from New Jersey and being ecstatic about leaving Valpo, found our lack of knowledge unimportant. We were in the mood for adventure. They told us that traf- fic would be hectic and so would parking. I guess they had never been to New York City! We found a parking spot at the Naval port, and so our adventure began. Our trip certainly was an adventure. We started off by trying to get to the top of a building we thought was a hotel. Boy were we wrong, here it was an apartment com- plex that was very guarded. Next we stopped at the Holiday Inn. Here we finally found a computer for tourists. We played Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, 0 blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to se me.' Then the righteous will answer him, lLord when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothed thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee? And the King will answer them, lTruly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these brethren, you did it to me.' Matthew 25:34-40. A Retreat with that for awhile. Finally we set out to accomplish our goal. We were like kids with a new toy. We took pictures of everything. Somehow we found our way around and finally ended up on Rush Street, which we took advantage of! On our way back to the car we encountered three street burns, and spent a while chatting and listening to their stories. Upon our return to Valpo we felt much refreshed and ready to face school again ii thinkI! --- Karie Payne y;;;a$e,km:sw$m 1. We want this building! Will someone but it for us P L E A S E?! 2.

I have read- ing to do for my two classes tomorrow. I have a history paper due on Friday and I haven't read that book either. Plus, I have committee meetings all week and my moth- er won't even talk to me because I haven't written Grandma in about four years. This situation obviously calls for drastic action, but not of the kind you're probably think- ing. I am now going to proceed to blow it all off until after the weekend! How, you ask, can I do this without being pIagUed with guilt feelings and nightmares? It all comes with practice. Believe it or not, VU actuaIIy offers many means and strate- gies for blowing off whatever you feel the need to. First of all, most of the time you needn't even leave your room in order to blow things off. Luring a friend in to sit around and shoot the breeze for a while is an excel- lent way to blow off time and have someone to blame it on as well. You can escape to the Union Rec Center for that one game of pool or bowling which turns into a tourna- ment. Taking walks is a great way of escap- ing e physically as well as figuratively - from things, and when the weather permits, aII-day jaunts to the Dunes become neces- sary for one's mental health, well being, kar- ma, etc. In a class of its own as far as escapes and places for blowing off time go is Jackson's Bar. On Wednesday and especially Thurs- day nights there seems to be a magnetic attraction e a sort of siren's song which Iures people there: You can have one beer then go back and do homework You can have one beer then go back and do homework. Everybody blows off something or other every once in a while e it's normal and healthy. Everything in moderation. Thank goodness VaIpo provides plenty of these small escapes for us to accept or ignore - as the mood strikes! ---IuIie Griffith 1. On the weekends if transportation can't be found then a trip to the Grail is the next best thing. 2. Thank heavens that 7-11 isn't far from the University.

When the urge to get away hits, many find themselves on the road to Chicago. 81 A little bowling can help take your mind off the frustrations of school. 9. THAT'S a tree, and also a great place to go to daydreamH Escapes 41 Someone, Take Me Away! Everyone feels the need to get away from it all at some point in their lives. It seems as though college students are very much in need of escaping from their daily cares, worries and problems. This can be as simple as going to a secluded place on campus, or as adventurous as going as far as Chicago for peace and relaxation. Escaping from the daily pressures we face is not a bad thing. Many of us have a certain place to go to when we feel that if we don't leave we will probably go crazy. We also may have certain activities that help us for- get all of our problems. These range from blowing bubbles to skateboarding, to trav- eling and sightseeing or the all time favorite e SHOPPING! It doesn't take much to re- lease the tension that we as students face, but it also doesn't take much to make the pressure too great to handle. The everyday stress of homework is sometimes over- whelming. When this is added to extracurri- cular activities such as jobs, hobbies, sports and the important social life, not even a superhuman could always accomplish what was expected of them. As people mature they find it easier to deal with stress, but they also find them- selves having to face harder problems as well as more of them. At times when people have most of their lives in control they can find themselves as emotional wrecks. Sometimes not a day goes by that we would not like to just disappear and leave all of our problems. However, seeing as this is not possible, we must find outlets for our stress. Fortunately, we can find many different means of escaping here at Valpo. The peacefulness of our campus does wonders for those of us wishing to escape. If the pressure is truly immense, we always have the Dunes, the serenity of the Chapel, or many other places for literally getting away and forgetting about life as a student for just a little while! --- Steff Winkelhake WHEN I GET TIME When I get time - I know what I shall do: I'll cut the leaves of all my books And read them through and through.

Escapes 43 Fun In Far Away Lands Every once in a while, I just couldn't be- lieve where I was or what I was doing. I would be tossing off a pint of Guinness in a pub called The Anchor, amidst wafting clouds of cigarette smoke and a tumult of British accents assailing my senses. Or I would be strolling around London, sides- tepping pigeons and punk-rockers in Pica- dilly Circus. At times I would be hiking with Ted over the verdant hills and craggy cliffs of the west coast of Ireland, together in- venting a bawdy song about Cambridge girls. Or maybe I would be hefting a mighty mug of German lager and attempting to make a toast with Kathy above the din of traditional Bavarian music in the Hofbrau- haus. Or I would simply be trudging over a half a mile of rolling sand dunes with Bob and Dave on the island of Gran Canaria - sun directly overhead frying our already bronzed backs - on our daily jaunt to the beach. I just couldn't believe the good for- tune which had given me these opportuni- ties. For me, that was the Cambridge exper- ience. I was presesnted with the opportuni- ty to see and better understand the coun- tries of Europe. Due to this opportunity, I was enabled to meet not just new people, but actually meet new and truly different people. I learned their attitudes and feel- ings, and, as a result, my world perspective was expanded and enhanced, allowing me to empathize with the views of European. Once the entire Atlantic Ocean separated me from America, I could watch it from a distance and attempt to see it as Europeans do. That was the real education I received. Now that I am back in Valpo, every once in a while I daydream about Cambridge. i remember the marathon card games at Good Ol' 26 Huntingdon, and how occa- sionally someone would ask, Do you think you'll ever come back here? I always an- swered with an adamant Yes. I'm still waiting, and hoping .. . ---Chris Jeffress 1. Missy Melnick pretends to be a tourist in hopes of talking this vender down in prices. 2.

Chris Koetke, Andy Cutler and Susie Cardels celebrating American style in France. 44 45 Overseas Learning Away From Home When I chose to attend Valpo, the study abroad semester in Mexico was one of my most important reasons. I decided because I had studied Spanish that Mexico was the place to go. When I was selected to study in Puebla, I was very excited, although I wasn't exactly sure why. After some time, howev- er, the proposition seemed a little more scary. I would be going to a totally strange country with Valpo students I didn't even know. When the seven of us flew into Mexico City in the middle of the night, we were met by tiny lights shining as far as we could see. These were not the orderly lights of Chicago. These were the lights of a totally different world. That's when the excite- ment began to overcome my fears. Mexico became a land of enchantment for me. Every day was a new experience, whether it was sampling a new food or mountain climbing with the help of Mexi- cans we had never met before. From the majestic beauty of the mountains surround- ing our school to the excessive exhaust in the cities, I learned in a new setting and culture. Studying abroad is a unique opportunity for learning, and I recommend it to almost anyone. When I went there I believed I had an open mind. However, with the limited exposure I have had to other cultures, I now realize that there is much more in life that I can learn. I began to look at Mexico, the United States, and even other countries in a new light. The United States has much more of an effect on the presents and fu- tures of other countries than I ever imag- ined. To really be open-minded, I now real- ize that I must live a culture to be even close to understanding it. Leaving the familiarity of Valpo, friends, and family, and going to a country about which I had only heard that it had a poor economy was a difficult step. This step, however, was one of the biggest of my life, and I think others who study abroad will agree with this. Once I took the risk, I began to understand what it's like to go some- where feeling illiterate and have difficulty communicating. I realize now I can expand upon my goals in life and really achieve them no matter how afraid I may be. Now I am back at Valpo with my Ameri- can friends, and they are even more impor- tant than before. While I live my last year here, I try every day to learn and expand upon what I learned in Mexico. Life is spe- cial and I want to live every day to the ful- lest. Really living and enjoying myself while not worrying about what may happen is one of the most important ideas I learned. Being able to travel and learn outside the class- room are what made studying abroad even more interesting. I met at least five people every day who helped me when I had no idea where I was or who just spoke with me because I, too, could help expand their world. Too often we limit ourselves, and studying abroad helps us to widen our own mind sets. When I think back on my experiences, however, it is not the places I really miss. It is the people. The Mexican and American friends I made there made the semester the best of my life, and I will never forget them. We shared together in our new-found mix- ing of cultures. Mexicans learned from us and we from them. Sure, the place was spe- cial, but it was extraordinary with my friends. --- Melissa Melnick 1.

Overseas 47 Pursuit Of The Study Atmosphere What's the purpose of attending VU? At least some part of the goal should be related to studying to get'good grades. The other part is more often than not the pursuit of happiness and partying. How to combine the two has been the challenge of the ages, and one which has been adapted to in many ways. Some students take the interesting route of finding the unusual or different environ- ment in which to study. These are the stu- dents of VU. These are the students of aca- demia. . For those late night study sessions, exhaus- tion leads to the caffeine craving. Many ful- fill the fix with several cups of Azar's coffee. Poring over texts and notebooks, studying goes on for hours, regardless of the next day's eight o'clock class. When the weather agrees, options are open for the studious individual. Some choose the sun roof of Lankenau, Scheeie or Alume ni. What could be better than basking in the warm rays of the sun while cramming for an exam? Others choose to protect themselves in the shade of the trees. Benches provide the ideal setting for an outdoor studying exper- ience, complete with books and minds hard at work. For the diligent worker, a mixture of studies and work is more appropriate. When time is short and work is light, many students steal away to their homework and get paid! Students sometimes have a bit of trouble separating their party time and their study hours. Believe it or not even a bar becomes a place for study, chaotic as it may seem. A week night at Jackson's will lend itself to a showing of an exam-party. The results, however, may be questionable Aii in all, a student is his or her own best critic. Study atmosphere depends upon the individual. Of course there are the old relia- bles .. Moeilering Library, dorm study rooms and the Union e but where would you rather be? ---Dan Mortier 1.

Students here at V.U. come from all states, ranging from Hawaii to Maine, and many different countries, also. However, the greatest number of people here are from Indiana or the suburbs of Chicago. I have noticed that people tend to tune you out when they ask you where you're from, and you tell them you live in a suburb of Chicago. Oh, another one of those . . . I imagine the same thing would happen if you told them you were from Indiana. However, if you are from a warm state such as Florida or California, the first question you will be asked is, Why did you come to Indiana? The person asking this will use a tone of voice insinuating that you are insane for coming here. The reasons that people come here are varied: because they have related alumni from here, or else because they got so much mail from the school that they finally just decided to come and find out what all the hype was about. However, the fact that V.U. is the Number One Comprehensive Institution in the Midwest, doesn't hurt either! Two of the students that probably get harrassment for coming to school in Indiana are two from Hawaii, Jodi Gundermann and Christina Ramia. When asked why they came here, they replied, Jodi's parents at- tended school here many years ago and loved it, so they urged us to go here also. We also wanted to see what it is like to live in the Mid-West, and believe it or not, we like the weather here. When asked what it is like to live so far away from home, they will tell you, It was difficult at first because I tChristinal had to break away from a lot of my close relatives who are situated in Ha- waii. The roughest part is not being able to go home every weekend and all holidays. Watching other students pack up to leave is very depressing. Luckily though, we've make good friends who understand, and have extended invitations for us to go home with them during these vacations. The majority of students who attend V.U. do enjoy it here, and although they maybe homesick at times, do not regret leavingi their homes to come here, whether they live nearby or thousands of miles away. Speaking of homesickness, consider the case of the many students on campus from foreign lands. Malaysian, Peruvian, Saudi Arabian, Iraqi, Haitian, and many other na- tionalities are represented at VU. The new friends they meet here make the miles seem less and after a while some don't want to leave at all . . they simply bring their own experiences and mind-sets to the Valpo experience , thereby enriching every- one's stay here. ---Sharon Leitet 1.

Miss'.ss;ppi WaNeLd Sers-ef Where We Come From 51 3 3 3 Creating The Perfect Atmosphere Remember your thoughts while sitting at home after being accepted into college? There began the thought process and won- derment of what the dorm rooms looked like and what a person could do with the alloted space. Of course one couldn't help but worry about what one could bring and how much one would be able to fit. There was also the problem of having visited so many colleges that it was impossible to re- member what Valpo's rooms had looked like. But after months of frustration the mo- ment arrives and one finds himsetherself at Valpo. The first impulse is to just pack everything away in any little space available. Finally things calm down and roommates have a Chance to actually discuss plans for the room. Of course there is always the desire to come up with the most creative ideas possible. The local stores are ransacked with the student population searching for just the right posters to hang on the walls. But no open space is sacred. Ceilings, closets, door fronts and entry space are all covered with posters, pictures of friends, ads from maga- zines and basically anything that can be stuck to the wall that would stay there. Plants are also a necessity. Every room has to have a plant. Sometimes these poor things actually manage to make it through the four years of college. Redecorating does occur quite often es- pecially when the feeling of boredom oc- curs or we have so much homework we just can't possibly do it and need an excuse to procastinate. Each year we come back to school hoping we've brought less than the year before and that we'll have extra room. Also we general- ly have thought up some wonderful decor or way to remodel the otherwise dull, bor- ing room. No matter what the results we are always on the look out for new things that will create the perfect atmosphere, that is what is important. We need to make a room that we will be happy in for the nine months out of the year. The right atmosphere changes with the changes within ourselves so every year we face the question - But what will we do next year? - Shar Cannon, Editor-in-Chief 1.

Sometimes after going to school you tend to forget or leave some of your favorite things behind you. These things can be of many different types - a material object, or just something to do in certian situations. The aII-time favorite thing I left behind was my cat, Frankie. This cat is special. He has the markings of a Siamese, and the blue eyes of Frank Sinatra, hence the name Fran- kie. Spewie, huh? To take the pIace of Fran- kie, since I lived in a dorm and could not have any pets, my mom gave me my first teddy bear, which I named e surprise - Frankie. I had never liked stuffed animals very much, always thinking they were stu- pid and quite childish. After sleeping with- out the warm body of my cat, I knew I reaIIy needed something. I really think it was my dad's suggestion about the Teddy Bear, be- cause he was once a college boy and knew of the opportunities offered to a girl on a coed college campus. Another favorite thing that I have acquired since arriving on this campus is a taste for beer. In high school I couldn't stand the thought of drinking an entire glass of that bitter liquid that all my friends thought was so great. Now I have learned what millions before me knew: what it is like to come home from a hard day and have a beer. That cold, refreshing quuid sliding down your throat . . . Beer. What a concept. People that I have met on this campus would have to be the other favorite thing that I have come to value since arriving on this campus in Fall, 1984. There have been so many different experiences from know- ing so many different people. I have been enriched with knowing people of different races, from different places, and at times from different spaces. Weird? You bet. I love them. Between the people, beer, and my teddy bear, there is not much else to say. I have become a much better and enlightened person since attending Valpo. CoIIege de- velops a lot of good things like knowing and accepting all kinds of people, and develop- ing appreciation for warm fuzzy things, and sometimes not-so-good things like the true enjoyment of beer. As Julie Andrews sang in The Sound ofMusic, however, these are a few of my favorite things! ---Andi Hart- man 1. Where is the door knob? 2. My two most important things in the world ... my best friend and my Teddy Bear. 3. Teddy and Mr. Potato Head hold conference in the bean bag chair. 4.

How about the annual Union All-Nighter? During the siX-hour event there were plenty of activities, games and entertainers to keep the crowd of over five-hundred people active. Free popcorn was served open-bowl style for those who enjoyed three top feature movies. In the main lounge Gene Mater was recreating the im- ages of those who patiently waited into caricatures while the hungry and hearty got ready to test their stomachs in the banana split eating contest. Other activities that took place in the main level were free mys- tical palm readings, group photographs tak- en in the Guild Room, and free recreation center play. There were twelve students who were involved in the All-Nighter Dating Game which took place on the upper level Union Lounge. When the three round contest was concluded, three anxious couples were on their way to a free movie and a romantic dinner for two at one of the area's fine res- taurants. In the Great Hall, Ah-Ha, a local com- edy improvisational group, took the stage for the opening act of the evening. They aroused the laughter of the audience with several on-the-spot comedytskits including, A man smoking a cigarette, Burl and Earl's stolen used cars, and 'Hai-Ku' poet- ry.ll Jim Wand, master hypnotist and feature attraction of the evening, followed. After he put twenty students and several mem- r; mmwxw There Can Be Free Entertainment bers of the audience into hypnotic trances, the fun began. Under his power of sugges- tion the students on stage drove 18-wheel- er tractor trailers, bathed on one of the beaches in Daytona, appeared on Dance Fever, and performed a rock concert. Wand also created his own version of the Dating game where three male bachelor- ettes, thinking they were female, compet- ed to be selected by a bachelor, and then the lucky couple were off to sun in the Caribbean. Co-chairmen of the event, Lisa Ferguson and Lara Herrington, both agreed that the evening was a great success and they were pleased with the turnout. Ferguson said it looked like everyone had a great time. ---Carter Hillman The ARC All-Nighter is a Union Board and Intramural Advisory Council sponsored event held every year. During the night the crowds are encouraged to participate in dif- ferent games, watch live performances of a band and comedian, view different movies, and enter drawings for prizes. This year the theme of the event was llSurf or Die - beach attire was the dress code - and it took place January 16, 1988. There was also a canned goods drive, with donations going to the American Cancer Society. Those who brought canned goods received a beach ball. The live entertainment was provided by comedian Rich Hall, and a musical group, Pink Flamingoes. Rich Hall is a former mem- ber of Saturday Night Live, author of Snig- Leg and More Sniglets, books containing definitions of words which are not words, but should be! More recently he has served as Pizza Hut's Man on the Road. Hall per- formed to a crowd which filled almost the entire east side of the main gym. The Pink Flamingoes, who were also dressed in beachwear, gave people something to dance to when they played many great clas- sics such as Twist and Shout, Mony, Mony, and California Girls. Other sights to observe were the IM sponsored games. Among these were vol- 1. These girls like the music 5000 much that they can't stop dancing. 2. What a concept - Volleyball in a raquetball court. 3. A hearty game of volleyball at the Arc-All Nighter. 4. The band at the all nighter made the crowd roar. 5. Hello, is anyone out there???? leyball, racquetball, basketball shooting, and bench press. During these games either individuals or teams competed for prizes awarded by the Intramural Advisory Coun- cil. To add an additional twist, some of the games Were altered to make the evening more exciting and unusual. Blind volleyball was played by teams of six, hitting the vol- leyball over a covered net, which made it impossible to set up a good return from a hard hit ball from the opposing team. A Walleyball tournament, volleyball played in racquetball courts, gave another interesting version to the common game. The Union Board also had their share of sponsored fun and games with different beach games, such as hula hoops and limbo contests, an Earthball relay, in which a six- foot blue ball with the continents portrayed on it which was rolled around the upper level running track by teams, a llbest legs contest, a llbig splash contest, and boat races. The two movies which were shown were Revenge of the Nerds II and Summer School, both showing a fun and chaotic time had by college-aged individuals, some- thing that all who came to the All-Nighter had! ---Andi Hartman 60 Sorority Olympics: A Euphemistic Pretense? The generosity of the Greek system at Valparaiso was demonstrated yet again on April 22 when Lambda Chi Alpha sponsored the annual Sorority Olympics. Over 2700 cans were collected for the United Way Food Pantry of Porter County by members of all eight sororities, eager to one-up each other in the category of good will. After depositing their cans, the sororities left the warmth of the Chops' house for the brisk, blustery air at the playing field lactually a small lot behind Weeps'l. From there, the afternoon took on less of a philanthropic tone and became simply an all-out party extravaganza. In a setting that would horrify most fa- thers, hundreds of sorority women began to consume more than a little bit too much alcohol in the presence of their Lambda Chi 'chaperones'. Despite the fact that simply standing erect was becoming increasingly difficult, the sororities attempted to prove their superiority through the seven events. In the obstacle course, the contestants forged, or stumbled, their way around what seemed to be insurmountable barriers. The 1. We have your president. if you want her back, bring canned goods to Lambda Chi Alpha by 4:30. Dave Christiansen and Ted Nickel complete their abduction of Phi 0's president. 2. Victorious Alpha Xi's celebrate their win by taking over the mound. keg toss demonstrated which sororities have the muscle to back up their beauty. The water balloon toss tested the manual dexterity of participants as pairs from each sorority attempted to toss balloons back and forth for the longest period of time. The tug- of-war pitted teams of able-bod- ied and somewhat inebriated tor is that in- ebriated and somewhat able-bodied?l women against each other in the classic confrontation. The religious background provided, or required, at Valparaiso came in handy during the shopping cart race as ter- rified participants were placed in carts at the mercy of their teammates who would have to successfully avoid competing carts in the frenzied dash to the finish line. The balloon pop war found Greek women jumping at the opportunity to deflate their opponents' chance at victory by stomping on the balloons tied around their ankles. The final category, however, became fright- eningly personal to the humble egos of the sororities. As the sororities staggered back to the Lambda Chi house, the heavyweight drinkers prepared for battle in the hallowed beer chug. After a long afternoon of drink- ing, however, slamming beers was certainly a challenging proposition. In the true spirit of Valparaiso weekends, the sororities rose to the occasion with all teams performing remarkably well. After the dust settled, though, the beer chug dispelled any doubt that the Chi's were anything but the ulti- mate party machine. Although the Delta Phi's had given a strong performance throughout the day, it was consistence that propelled the Alpha Xi's to the top of the heap, continuing their long-time strongh- old on Sorority Olympics. As the sun slowly settled behind the law school, the latest Sorority Olympics drew to a close. The memories were not as easily left behind. The afternoon had seen eight com- petitive sororities bond together in a spirit of concern for those in need, while still maintaining that special rivalry indigenous to the Greek system. Lambda Chi had prov- en once again that partying and civic con- cern can walk hand in hand. ---Mike Riethmeier 1. Lisa Ritter leads the crowd in a cheer, Yip-Yip-Yippee! 2. Mitch Hastings expresses his frustration at trying to make himself heard over eight chanting sororities. 3.

The Show that Never Ends . . . Saturday, April 30th brought to Valpo's campus the first warm spring day and Lamb- da Chi Alpha's Airband Vlll. For six dollars onlookers enjoyed brats, plenty of beer, and several hours of live entertainment. Also, this year was the first year that plastic tumblers could be kept as a remembrance of the occasion. Good thing, too, because many there would otherwise not have re- membered it! While one is not usually rewarded for un- usual or outrageous behavior, eight bands, equipped collectively with tennis rackets, ironing boards, baseball bats, and pledge paddles, did their best to take first place and the accompanying one hundred dollar prize. Once again competition was tough as the judges - two professors and a Lambda Chi alum - attentively watched and tallied points. As the last band walked off stage, the judges began the final scoring. Here, select Lambda Chis provided the audience with continued entertainment to help fill the gap of time before the winners were an- nounced. AND THE WINNERS ARE Passionately Yours took first place with the two ridiculous, yet highly entertaining songs, I Like 'em Big and Stupid and, 'Cause I'm a Blonde . lWhy did the band choose the lead they did for the second song when she has brown hair?l Coinci- dently, the band also won their freshmman year with these two songs. Performing in Air Band all four years of their college careers, the members of Pas- sionately Yours are seasoned performers who plan on devoting the rest of their lives to competing in lip synch contests all over the civilized - or is that uncivilized e world. When asked why they kept coming back for more, one of the band members replied, We always run out of meal card money about this time of year and need the extra cash. Not far behind, the professors' band, llDandrogeny , came in second place. This band is a favorite every year, and once again put aside the paperwork and lesson plans to join the fun and festivities. The third place winners, performing songs by Aerosmith , rounded out the competition. As the afternoon came to a close, the crowd dispersed. Some went out, some went home, and some dropped where they were to take a nap. Another Air Band, an- other success. This year five hundred dol- lars was raised and donated, as it is every year, to a charity which helps in the fight of leukemia. ---Laura Griffin Airband 63 I ,4 a : m. www . . 71 wfu'. ; $ 91 3; t - .wvw Campus Jobs - A Learning Experience Besides studying and socializing, many VU students hold campus jobs. These jobs range from secretarial positions and work- ing for profs, to janitorial positions, keeping the campus buildings clean. These jobs of- fer students an opportunity to make a little spending money. They also offer a chance for students to meet a greater variety of people and work closely with their peers as well as the faculty which they usually see only in the classroom. One of the most visible jobs is working in the cafeterias and in the Grail. Anyone who eats anywhere on campus will see students putting in their hours. During these jobs, students help prepare, serve, and clean-up after meals. It is probably one of the most strenuous jobs, but the close working atmo- sphere between the students and the full- time employees is friendly, making the job fun. Students who spend any time around the ARC will see many campus employees hard at work overseeing the lnter-mural pro- gram, working for a team in the capacity of a manager or stat-keeper, working as an in- tern in the Ticket Office or Sports Informa- tion Office or watching over the weight room or swimming pool. Many of these jobs require hours of training to qualify for .the position. To be qualified for a job at pool-side a student must be a certified life guard, and in the weight room a student must be certified in CPR. Those involved in the lntra-mural program must be ready to referee the different IM games and be pro- ficient when the highly competitive teams are working for their titles. The Training Room offers jobs to those who are going into the field of Sports Medicine, and gives the students an opportunity to practice and perfect the knowledge they learn during classes. The Training Room Interns also are visible at all the athletic events on campus. Interns working in the ticket office and Sports Information Office experience what they will be doing once they graduate. Dur- ing football and basketball games, students can be found selling consessions and usher- ing fans to their seats. Jobs offered by professors and other ad- ministrators usually involve many of hours of tedious work. Letters, tests, and exams to type, and homework and lab reports to grade are what these students find waiting for them when they step into their desig- nated work place. Correcting the lab re- ports and homework assignments can give headaches, but the job is not all that bad and the student can usually set their own hours. The jobs, although somewhat te- dious, give a Chance to perfect their typing skills and also can reinforce their own knowledge of their major. Living in a dormitory, students see many jobs done by fellow students. The mail is sorted and distributed into the tiny slots each morning by a student. After four in the afternoon, a student can be found in the office of each dorm, answering any phone calls, distributing any packages, and over- seeing the dorm The library is also run by students once classes are done for the day. Here students check out materials, watch the door, re- shelve books and other materials, and help out fellow students when a problem of lo- cating certain materials is the case. This job helps the students become more proficient in their own knowledge of the library and also gives them an opportunity to see and meet many of their fellow students. The ACCC is also run by students who have knowledge of the computer language. These students must be able to work out any problems that users have, maintain the equipment, and print out programs that will help out students. The Data General Con- trollers must have a knowledge of the dif- ferent languages and be proficient in them. The Burrough Operators have a knowledge of the functions of the word processors and take care of the system in case of a crash. To just name a few, jobs on campus give the students a chance to earn money, de- velop leadership skills, and meet many peo- ple. These students' jobs benefit the entire campus as well as many of the community. They are all hard workers and their efforts make the lives of everybody a little easier. - AMH 1.

T0 lie down, close your eyes, and escape into a warm, calm, world - what ecstasy! Sleep is a wel- come relief from the day's hectic events. Departing from the criteria of a good nights rest, students discover various places to camp out, enabling them to snatch some quantity of sleep, even if it is not al- ways of the best quality. Chapter rooms, hallways, cafeterias, and bathrooms often suffice as places to nap - not to mention classrooms! Comfort is no longer a require- H! ment as students crash in the nearest available spot. Oftentimes they are unaware of their immediate environment as they doze off into a land of bliss. The awakening dawn is sobering in lieu of the previous night's memories. As the new day arrives, students face commitments without a trace of last night's meanderings!!! Only room- mates can accurately tabulate the stolen minutes between classes which are filled with power naps. Will it all add up to the standard eight hours? Hopefully. If not, there's always tomorrow night. ---Debby Naumann HH 9 $$$wa E95. xgmmwnm mhgm .ommu mNKW$gmwvv$Nw 4 ? $ng $$$wa xgagmmww . 53a... : .ezgg? 1 s 7 6 Time of Rest 1.

What We Know Now Remembering back to freshman year I think of many reasons I would love to come back and do it all over again, but there are more reasons I am glad I only was a freshman once. After graduating from high school there was a mad scramble to try and get a job to save enough money to have a relatively easy life once at school. All summer skimping and saving . . . I sure hoped it would all be worth it. When the end of August came, those boxes, that had been packed since June, were loaded into Mom and Dads car. With barely enough room to sit, let alone breathe, the long trek to Valpo began. There was a feeling of excitement as well as terror. For the past 18 years of my life I had had it easy, so easy I could only hope things were going to get better. I couldn't wait to get to school. There was going to be complete freedom, lots of men llittle did I know that they were still boys just out of Mom's graspl, and plenty of time for me to find out just what I wanted out of life. When we finally arrived on campus, llate, of coursel l practically had my head out the window craning to see everything. Suprisingly enough, we found Dau-Kreinheder fairly quickly. Dad, mildly shocked to find out that his daughter would be living in such close proximity to a freshman male dorm, calmed down and carried the heaviest boxes up the flights of stairs. Mom and I followed with the rest of them. Once all my belongings were unpacked, the hunt for Mueller Hall started. After getting everyth- ing confirmed and the necessary papers signed, l parted with my parents to find my way back to my dorm for the remainder of the afternoon. My parents, using their trusty Parent's Guide to Freshman Orientation, found their way to the Chapel to the Parent's Meeting. Afterwards my dad told me that he never suspected that he was sending me to a nunnery; I guess that President Schnabel can be convincing when telling the parents how much control the school has over the students.

With barely enough room to sit, let alone breathe, the long trek to Valpo began. There was a feeling of excitement as well as terror. For the past 18 years of my life I had had it easy, so easy I could only hope things were going to get better. I couldn't wait to get to school. There was going to be complete freedom, lots of men llittle did I know that they were still boys just out of Mom's graspl, and plenty of time for me to find out just what I wanted out of life. When we finally arrived on campus, tlate, of coursel I practically had my head out the window craning to see everything. Suprisingly enough, we found Dau-Kreinheder fairly quickly. Dad, mildly shocked to find out that his daughter would be living in such close proximity to a freshman male dorm, calmed down and carried the heaviest boxes up the flights of stairs. Mom and I followed with the rest of them. Once all my belongings were unpacked, the hunt for Mueller Hall started. After getting everyth- ing confirmed and the necessary papers signed, I parted with my parents to find my way back to my dorm for the remainder of the afternoon. My parents, using their trusty llParent's Guide to Freshman Orientation, found their way to the Chapel to the Parent's Meeting. Afterwards my dad told me that he never suspected that he was sending me to a nunnery; I guess that President Schnabel can be convincing when telling the parents how much control the school has over the students.

The day we've been working to- wards throughout our college career. With diploma in hand we head out into the world, full of anticpation and excitement - and perhaps a little hesitation. No longer is there a corridor or fraternity or sorority full of people standing behind you, ready to pick you up should you fall. It's time to be out and standing up on your own two feet, with back straight and head held high. This is the time we've all been waiting for, some longer than others, and mixed emo- tions fill the day. Dreams of being an engi- neer, or a nurse, or a businessman are now a step closer to becoming reality. Walking up in front of faculty, family, and friends, we say Look at us! We made it! Another goal reached, another dream fulfilled. it's time to move on. And as each of us turns to go our separate ways, stopping for one last hug or a final look at the chapel, we know we'll all be back. Even if we never set foot on campus again, our memories will bring back late night talks, the laughter of friends, a shoul- der to cry on, and special moments that make even cold Valpo winters warm and gray skies bright. This is the time to remember, - no other experience will be quite the same as Valpo. Though the days won't last forever, their memories will live on in all of us. e Debbie Petersen 1.

And wept each other's tears; I have known ne'er a sorrow We have lived and loved together That was long unsoothed by thee; Through many Changing years, For they smiles can make a summer We have shared each other's gladness Where darkness else would be. And wept each other's tears. And let us hope the future, Like the leaves that fall around us As the past has been will be: In autumn's fading hours, I will share with thee my sorrows, Are the traitor's smiles, that darken And thou thy joys with me.

I often wonder this, being - okay, I admit it e probably one of the most downright lazy and unathletic persons on this Wellness-oriented campus. Why do these people involved in sports and physical-fitness-type activities torture their bodies relent- lessly, causing themselves endless sprains, strains, sweat stains, and other horrors? I can understand to some extent the motivation of players on our sports teams - some of them do receive scholarships in exchange for their contributions to Valpo athletic programs, but there must be other, Ioftier motivations. i know this, because there are easier ways to obtain a college education than to sacrifice one's body on the altar of suffering. What is it? Ego? The quest for the perfect body? Masochism? Or something else? To find the answer to this question, I went to the source: the athletes themselves. Why, I asked, did you put yourself through pain, stress, injuries, etc., for the sake of a game? At first, some of them did not seem to know, themselves. This was deep stuff, I could tell. However, when pressed by an obnoxious copy editor with a deadline to meet, most of them came through with something. Rugby player Bill Ruesch pin-pointed his motivations as simply the desire for fun and exercise. Entertainment. Well, the idea of a game is 1. Jewel Market keeps her lead. 2 The Volleyball team sets up for a play. 3. Let's aim for the birdie!!! 4. Whois got the ball?? 5. Have you had your sprinkle today? 6. Do you feel lonely at the top? 112 No Gain that it is supposed to be fun. Ex Valpo baseball player Jon Findley gave another interpretation, however. First of all, he stated that one reason he played baseball was that, having started in Little League, he was driven to continue playing, even having ambitions to play profes- sionally at one point. Also, he expressed the personal exhilaration of facing an opponent. It's what you can do yourself, personally, and also what you can do to help the team. Goal orientation. One un- identified female athlete stated that her major motivation for going to the gym was to be able to hang around the jocks. This is definitely a woman with a goal. Other motivations were given as working out frustrations, and, for those individual athletes, to fulfill the dream of being a star in your own league, as Bob Ehle stated. There we have it. The answer was definitely something else. These people who stretch their bodies, spirits, and endurance levels to the limit are doing it for more than a simple ego rush. It is the love of the fun involved in the game, the challenge of pushing oneself as far as possible to achieve a goal, the satisfaction of team-work, and the desire to be at one's personal best. These are the reasons why. They are lofty reasons indeed. ---Julie Griffith WM W WWW w. u ' 5 ww Sports 115 116 Be a Coach . . Kidding??? Move it ... 1!! What do you think, I'm running some kindergarten class here?? lwant ten on the floor, NOWH Then you can start your laps. Does that sound familiar? Many of us, especially those of us who are athletes, have heard it from a coach after we have already put in a long day at school, and then exerted ourselves further through a frustrating practice. At the moment when no one can stand being around each other, 5:30 finally comes around on the clock and the coach says, Hit the showers. That phrase alone signals to the athletes that their day has been completed, and they can go home and face the pile of books and homework waiting for their atten- tion. Unfortunately, it is not the end of the day for the coach. His job is only half finished. There are former game, meet, and practice films to watch and analyze, new plays to work out on the chalk- board and discuss with assistants, meetings to discuss road trips and other game arrangements, and finally, he makes himself available to his players if they have either a team or personal problem they want to talk about. When all responsibilities have been filled, he is able to go home to unwind and prepare for his next day. On the day of the sporting event, the C ach has his job cut out for him. Even after a hard day the coach must force himself to be motivated, so he, in turn, can motivate the team. All this motivating is done while he is maintains a calm exterior. All his work as well as the team's work will be tested in front of a crowd. His job security is dependent on each event's outcome, more than any other job. Once the event is taking place, it is the coach's job to see that everything runs smoothly, from each play being executed to seeing Er WWW, m a . Are You that 'each player is in his proper place at the right time, and that the right player is in the right position according to his abilities. lt isalso the job of the coach to see that the proper calls are made to insure the game is fair for all players. This could mean arguing with the refrees and officials over a certain judgement call or ruling one play. Sometimes the coach says a few too many words to the official and receives a technical foul or even is kicked out of the game and sent to the shower room. But as a good coach should, he must stick-up for what he believes is for the good of the team. Once the event is over and the players' job is done for the day, the coach still has to handle talking to the press, regardless of the event's outcome. This takes a good amount of confidence in his speaking abilities and his team. Finally, after all his duties have been fulfilled, the coach has to take time out for himself to think about the event and how he will make improvements to be tried the next day. Patience, time, and the ability to work well with others make up qualities needed to be a coach. As athletes or fans, many see coaching as an easy job, but quite to the contrary, being the coach of a team is just as important as, if not more important than, being one of the team members. Without the coach there would be no directions for the team to follow and total chaos would occur. 50 the next time at a sporting event when a coach doesn't seem to be doing his job, stop and think about the other responsibilities he has handled already today, and those he has yet to do. i - Andi Hartman 1.

Maybe in the future I'd coach, but I'd never play again. This would have to be it. This year would be the culmination of all the skills I picked up in the previous 11 years. Every skill, technique, and trick I ever learned would be used to make this a suc- cessful season. But the season seemed marred before the first game. We didn't act like a team. There are five different fraternities as well as inde- pendents represented in the upperclass- men. The verbal and physical punches ex- changed during practice did nothing but split the unity that the team needed. The first game of the season is traditional- ly the Popcorn Bowl. I shook Larry Csonka's hand and received a bow tie from Orville, but that all seemed trivial to the 3-0 loss to Oshkosh. The defense played well, but the offense turned over the ball and missed four field goals. Despite the loss, the team seemed in high spirits. The second game was a 49-9 washout by St. Ambrose. The defense couldn't contain their option and the offense never got on track. Still, going into the 4th quarter, we were fighting hard. The game was over but we wouldn't lie down and die. The third game was an incredible 32-3 win over St. Joe's. Their top running back, Rory Johnson, had racked up over 400 yards rushing in their first two games. Our de- fense held him to 54 yards and the offense operated effectively. Both Wayne Kantor and Brett Nichols looked good at quarter- back. We became 1-0 in conference. Homecoming was discouraging. We were winning 17-0 in the first quarter and it looked like a blow-out. However, Franklin rallied and we went into halftime with only a 24-21 lead. We fell behind 35-24 before the greatest moment in my career occurred - I caught a loose ball and ran, and I mean RAN, 30 yards for my first touchdown ever. Then we kicked a field goal and the game was tied 35-35. But, with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter, we lost the momentum and Franklin took it from us winning 54-35. Evansville looked bad for us: We were missing starters Bobby Mason ibroken footl, Rick Danowski ibad shoulderi, and Jim Bet- tinardi and Fred Stasny tsuspensionsl. We were facing the 4H offense in Division II football with a patchwork defense on their homecoming. However, we held their best running back, Bobby Joe Masters, to only 66 yards and tight end Bob Heins' rumbling 70 yard touchdown insured a 28-14 victory. Indianapolis was a big game that we didn't rise to. The defense played well but the offense failed to capitalize or get on track and we lost 27-0. We became 2-1 in confer- ence. A 21-18 victory over Ferris State boosted our confidence as we prepared for Butler, who was ranked 12th in Division II football. The team was feeling great going into the game. We were sky-high, but the offense blew two scoring opportunities and at half- time we were losing 14-0. In the second half, the offense rallied for 22 points behind Brett Nichols but a broken-play 60 yard scamper by Butler was the difference in the disheartening 29-22 loss. Our record dropped to 3-5 and 2-2 in conference. Our last game was at Ashland. They un- necessarily ran up the score in the 56-15 romp. The only bright spot was a 45 yard Bob Foley run - a nice way for him to finish a fine career at V.U. The year ended with our record at 3-6 overall and 2-3 in confer- ence. As I end my career I look back on the V.U. football days as good ones. I have no re- grets, and I'm glad I received the opportu- nity to play. During my three years here I witnessed the end of a good team, a very down team, and a rebuilding team. This year was not the type of year I wanted to end with, but I look at how far we came from last year and I consider this year a success. We should have beaten Oshkosh, Franklin, and possibly Butler. Our record could easily have been 5-4 and maybe even 6-3. To the seniors: good luck Tyler and Bob with the pro's. Hey, Foles, Sean, Speck, Cubby, Quinn, Nix, Alesia, Greg, and Jim: we did our best to turn around a bad pre- season team attitude and we should be proud of the groundwork we left behind. The returning juniors and sophomores are all good ballplayers and the returning fresh- men show a lot of promise and talent. With a good recruiting year and a little more atti- tude adjustment, V.U. will have enough tal- ent and depth to put together a string of winning seasons. If you know it, you show it. ---Andy Gappa 1. In your face buddy! 2. 11941 on his way to a touchdown. 3. See ya MSG! 4. The crusaders defense sacks the opposing quarterback. Finally. 5. V.U.

Playing teams like Northwestern, University of Wisconsin- Green Bay, and Notre Dame, the V.U. soc- cer team had its work cut out for it. A team consisting of twenty-two dedi- cated soccer players returned to Valpo a week before classes began to prepare for the rugged schedule. V.U. would be lead by nine experienced senior soccer players, in- cluding Paul Lantz, defenders Dave Arndt and Greg Charvat, forward Kent Hediger, midfielder Mike Haas, and goalkeeper Ke- vin Hughes. For the first time in V.U. soccer history the team had a record that was bet- ter than .500, sporting a final record of 10- 6-1. The team, playing at Eastgate Field and Brown Field received some excellent crowd support as they were cheered on to victory by more fans than ever before. V.U. fans were especially proud of the Homecoming victory at Brown Field as they witnessed V.U. beating DePaul University 3 to 1.

Soccer 121 Despite having a stronger and quicker team this year, the VU Rugby team had a tough time winning. The first win did not come until the sixth game of the season, against Purdue University. However, we won again the next week in a grudge match against Ball State University. It seems that inexperience and injuries has been our ma- jor downfall. Much of the inexperience was due to a large number of veteran players graduating last year. Only seven of the fif- teen starting players from last year returned this year. Many of the players who graduat- iiaiwi ii i ' i 5 wit'ixmv, i 'i:! t ' t W M . ed had been a staple of the team since the beginning of the club's existence. Although the team had only a few wins, we showed our steady improvement throughout the season. This was evidenced by our victories against Indiana powerhouse teams such as Purdue and Ball State. Al- though we started out very slowly, our younger players showed a lot of improve- ment throughout the season, said team captain Scott Diffley. Since the club began in 1984, the quality of teams the rugby team has played has RUGBY: A True Sport For Men grown from some secondary Chicago clubs to college teams that rank high in the na- tion. This is the primary reason for the de- cline in the win-Ioss record. However, VU has gained respect throughout the Mid- west. Recently, VU has been asked to join Bowling Green, who finished third in the nation last spring, Michigan State, Michi- gan, Notre Dame, and Indiana in order to form a new conference. ---Jack Jones D Ali Malaekeh tries to decide which leg to kick with, right, left, of his new found middle one. 2t Scott Diffley tries to help teammate Steve Klientop as Steve tries to advance the ball for Valpo. 3t Valpo players line up for the all important toss in. 4t A newcomer might wonder a t what's at the bottom of that pile that would make that many guys scuffle to get the prize e the rugby ball. 5t Post game partying with Nut and Bundie. 6t Bob Clary being forced to shoot the boot once again at the rugby party.

Girls In Although the Valparaiso Crusaders vol- leyball team may not have had its best sea- son ever this year, once we start looking past the large picture and focus more close- ly on the small gains, we can see that, all things considered, the Valparaiso team has much to be proud of that is not apparent to the average observer. Buoyed up by key seniors Renee Kwiatkowski and Jennifer Duncan and junior Jenny Hyde, with strong support from freshman middle-hitter Beth Hendricks, the Crusaders have maintained a strong unity and pride within the team. Val- paraiso is the smallest school in the North Star conference. However a few of the Valpo team has been recognized in the conference overall. Included in this is Jen- nifer Duncan who has been ranked in con- ference for kills, Jenny Hyde who has ranked for digs, and Renee Kwiatkowski for her powerful service aces. The teams potential to be developed for next season is excellent, according to Action. Kwiatkowski. With the contributions of this year's team freshmen, good, tough, all- around athletes, and the increased empha- sis on recruiting which is intended, the team should be able to overcome its main problem - its small size. Valparaiso's volleyball team offers many personal advantages as well as developing competitive advantages. The team's best feature, Kwiatkowski states, is that all of the players are good friends - there are no cliques which make for friction or hard feel- ings. She believes that the friendships formed among the players are the most re- warding aspect of playing VU volleyball, in addition to the excitement of competing in a Division I sport. All in all, when we take a close look at the Valparaiso Crusaders volleyball team, we find more than enough pride and accom- plishment to classify them as winners, no matter what their record. ---Julie Griffith I Volleyball 125 126 Off And Running Women's cross country - a new varsity sport at VU. In their initial season the six members ran impressive races despite their lack of collegiate experience. Jewel Market led the team, recording a first place finish in a dual meet against St. Joseph's and third place at the Southwest Michigan Invita- tional. Angela Zekios secured the number two position with steady time improve- ments throughout the season. Tamara Clay- pool, Shari Ludwig, Jennifer Williams, and Kris McLenahan also improved their times while displaying solid performance in each of the meets. Because the team was so small and lacked depth, it was tough competing against larger, more experienced teams. However, they received much encouragement throughout the season. The Butler coach stated: llValpo women's cross country is leaps and bounds ahead of other novice teams. The team also competed in several road races such as the Popcorn Panic and Al's Run in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They cap- tured the top four places in their respective age group at the annual Popcorn run. Not only were these races morale boosters, but they added an interesting change of pace to the season. With five returning members and contin- ued improvement, women's cross country is looking ahead to increasing their com- petitive edge in future races. ---Angela Zekios 1.

Despite a lack of depth, shortage of funding and the departure of coach Drew Pringle two weeks before the start of the season, the Crusader harriers showed im- provement over the 1986 team, placing as well or better in all of their meets. VU opened the season with a dual meet victory over St. Joseph's led by the one-two ' finish of Todd Lighty and John Kupfer. Competing, then, in a string of invites, the Crusader's top finishes were 2nd at Purdue- Fort Wayne and 4th at Marion and South- western Michigan. Behind Senior co-cap- tains Frey, 29th place, and Kupfer, 37th place, VU again captured sixth at AMCU-8 championships. I'm happy with the way we ran at con- ference,'l said new coach Mike Straubel. We've got promise for next year if we can bring in some new recruits to complement the solid base of sophmores we'll have back. A Trip To The Championships Rounding out the season, the team jour- neyed to the NCAA District Champion- ships, only the second time in school histo- ry that the cross country team has partici- pated in this prestigious meet. The experience we gained running at Districts against teams like 1985 National Champion Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa State will help us in the future, as well as give Valpo good exposure, com- mented sophmore Tim Snyder. - John Kupfer Rebuilding With New Athletes 8: Coach 1.

With only two swimmers returning from last year's team, the Valparaiso University wom- en's swimming team was forced to rebuild this year. Four freshman and one sopho- more joined the returning sophomore, Eva White and junior Kirsten Fehrenkamp. Kir- stin Fehrenkamp led the team, serving as team captain. Fred Curtis took over as head coach and was assisted by John Hallacy. Although Curtis came to Valparaiso with experience as a div- ing coach, he quickly filled the shoes of a swimming coach as well. He was very pleased with the efforts and accomplish- ments of his team saying, We didn't have as many girls as other teams, but my girls always pushed themselves to the limit, even when there was no possible way mathemat- ically that we could win a meet. Because of the small number of swimmers 43 Ready to take the plunge. 128 on the team, many of the spots in several events during the meets could not be filled. Therefore, Valparaiso University had no chance of collecting any of the points given for winning the events and other schools came out on top because of it. Top performers for the women were Eva White, setting school records in the 50, 100, and 200 yard butterfly, and Kirsten Fehren- kamp, who consistently won the 200 and 100 yard free-style throughout the season. The 200 free relay team of Wendy Stouder, Leslie Tiemann, Kirsten Fehrenkamp, and Eva White also collected many victories. In the future, with the addition of more swimmers, the outlook for the swim team is promising. The present talent and future incoming talent will hopefully combine for a successful 1988-89 swimming season. - Eva White $$ng M m w 4W Swimming 129 . - wwew 1. Diving for pleasure. 2.

With that in mind, we offer this poem, dedicating it to a deeper side of school spirit. A SMILE Let others cheer the winnning man, There's one I hoId worth while; , 'Tis he who does the best he can, Then loses with a smile. Beaten he is, but not to stay Down with the rank and file; That man will win some other day, Who loses with a smile. ---Unknown 1. Great timing girls! 2. VU's amazing flag squad stuns the crowd with yet another outstanding performance. 3. The band and the flag squad working in perfect harmony. 4. The crusaderettes seek shel- ter from the rain. 5. A slight case of confusion between cheers. 6. VU Cheerleaders lead the crowd in a cheer. 7. Let's see some spirit, VU! demand the Valpo cheerleaders. What's Behind School Spirit Excitement is in the air. The pep band is warming up. A group of young men and women are stretching out and putting last minute touches on their routines in prep- aration for directing this mass amount of electrical energy. These dedicated young people - VU's cheerleaders -- form a tun- nel in anticipation of the arrival of the team. A chill runs down the spines of all as the place erupts with cheer after cheer. Cheer- leaders provide the impetus for all this. The cheerleaders, who are extremely enthusastic individuals, try to keep the tem- po of their cheers as up as possible. Dur- ing the time-outs the cheerleaders attempt to keep the momentum going so that the team plays as well as they did before the time-out. This is the aspect of cheerleading that the basketball fan witnesses at every game, but there is more to being a cheerleader than this. There are two hour practices at least twice a week in preparation for the next game. There are a few hours in the week spent on creating new ideas to keep spirit high, and extra hours spent practicing part- ner stunts so that they will look more pro- fessional. Don't get me wrong e cheer- leading is fun, but anyone who does not think that it's difficult . well, I'd like to see them try it! I've really enjoyed my two years being a Valparaiso lifter. With some dedication and hard work, this year's squad can be as good or better than past squads. Cheerleading is providing needed spirit to VU teams. Who knows, with the caliber of basketball team we have, our support could push the team over the edge from good to great! ---Greg Campbell Making The Right Adiustments. This year the women's basketball team had a couple of new faces to show for itself. In addition to incoming freshmen, Valpo hired a new head coach, David Wolter, and he in turn hired a new assistant coach, Wendee Warg. Dave Wolter brought eleven years of experience coaching college and high school level basketball to V.U. His most re- cent position was as an assistant at Pepper- dine University. Wolter's new style for the women's pro- gram promoted enthusiasm and generated spirit on the floor and in the stands. To achieve this the team used fast breaks and a hounding man-for-man defense all over the court. In the organized chaos variety of bas- ketball, every player was used in one capac- ity or another. The strong returning veterans on the team included Senior LeeAnn Fischhaber, Juniors Jody Romohr, Jill Otto and Paige Freeman, and Sophomore Lisa Metscher. The new Freshmen hitting the floor were Lorrie Troncin, Wendy Smith, Stephanie Greer, Amy Cole, Kristi Farris, Sarah Backhus, Linda Batz, and Robyn Lippert. With the addition of eight new faces the coach was able to introduce his style with great ease. The women's basketball team also had something else to contend with. This year they started playing Division I ball. This meant a higher level of competition. So, not only having an entire new coaching staff to adjust to, the girls also had tougher compe- tition to worry about. 1. Valpo waits attentively for the throw in. 2. Shooting for two. 3.

Women's Basketball 135 mu Kmmmwxmwmmmmvwmmmw 136 asketball: Hard-working Talent Entering his eighth year here at Valpo as head basketball coach, Tom Smith was ex- pecting an exciting season. He was not dis- appointed. The Valparaiso basketball team opened the season with a five point loss to Yugoslavia's pro-basketball team. They quickly redeemed themselves, however, with a home win over Bethel. Their first, road game ended in a loss to Western Michigan, but this disappointment was soon followed by a three game home win- ning streak. At Grinnell, senior forward Harry Bell scored a career high 32 points, and VU entered an exciting overtime to achieve the Butler win. The crowds that turned out at the basket- ball games during the fall were sparse. How- ever, with finals out of the way and every- one ready to go in January the crowds picked up. The importance of having the home crowd behind the team was demon- strated as the Crusaders continued to pro- vide even more exciting basketball enter- tainment for their fans. ---Andi Hartman 1. lim Ford fights for a rebound. 2.

The 1987-88 season was a hopeful one for the grappling Crusaders, it was the first sea- son that every weight was filled. However, injuries soon put two holes in the line-up,a shoulder injury sustained by John Frey, and a broken wrist suffered by Lou Kuzdas. Mi- nor injuries to other starters further ham- pered the team's performance. The team had impressive individual per- formances by seniors Matt Bozic and Herb Hofer, sophomore Rob Wold, and fresh- men Terry Tice and Jami Voliva. The team traveled to many schools this season, including Marquette University, Concordia College, Wabash College, and Elmhurst College. The team's highlight of the season was at the St. Lawrence tournament in Wisconsin. The team received its first First Place tro-' phy. Ten out of twelve placed between first and third place. Representing VU at the Re- gional Meet at Notre Dame were Terry Tice, Matt Bozik and Herb Hofer. Coach Norm Amundsen placed high hopes in these three, in that a first, second, or third place finish would mean a trip to the United States National Tournament. The team's cohesiveness and positive atti- tudes pulled several tough wins over the course of the season. Despite the teams respectable finish in 1988, the future only looks better. The 1987-88 team will have ten returning wrestlers. - Benjamin Boliva 1. IVs a toss up! 2. Can we settle this with a handshake? 3. just try and move me! 4. Do you want to square dance? 5.

Gymnastic programs have sprung up all over the country giving opportunities to all competitors, from those just starting out to those who have been striving for their ultimate goal for years. Because of the in- creasing popularity, competition is becom- ing more difficult each year. Here at Valparaiso University, it is no dif- ferent. While maintaining the difficult aca- demic regimen, the team members are dedicated and work tremendously hard to reach their personal athletic goals. During the season the women practice for three hours daily, five days a week. Often times, the athletes develop nagging injuries that accompany their sport, yet they are tough ' competitors who do not let their injuries stop them from working hard and compet- ing ardently. While in her second year at Valparaiso, head coach Suzanne Giguere has pushed her team to excellence. This year in the first meet, a combined score of approximately 138 was reached. By the end of the year, the team had reached a score of 155 which showed the steady improvement of each individual. This team score was just a few points below the school record. Achieving this high a score with the injuries exper- ienced this year is a tribute to the dedica- tion of not only the team members, but also the coach. Despite their hard work, the women also have fun! They are a very close knit group of women who have become, in essence, a close family, working together through toil and sweat. The camarderie among the team will always be looked back upon with fond memories. It is something that no one can take away from them, and something that plays a big role in the motivation to contin- ue. - Greg Campbell 1.

After years of playing on less than adequate courts, the team will play on new courts built late this past fall. Unfortunately the courts were not finished until after the season was completed. Because of the team enthusiam, the year was a lot of fun for everyone and they all look forward to the coming season to put their experience to work on a winning sea- son. With a two and eleven record the women gained much experience and the hopeful expectations for the coming season are high with only one senior, Coleen Henklemann, graduating. - Maria Carpelli Tennis Team Shows Strength. Coach Jim Daugherty came to V.U. in 1985 to cultivate a young team that had finished with mediocre records over pre- vious years. Daugherty's hopes to make his team a contender for the AMCU Confer- ennce title were nearly realized in the Spring of 1987. First and second places were filled by Southwest Missouri State and Northern Iowa, but third, fourth and fifth places were decided by just a few points. Although beating Western Illinois in head to head competition, the Crusaders took a close fifth in the conference finale behind Western due to scoring technicalities. The top six singlest-positions were filled by Dan McGrath, Dan Drex Drehmel, Matt Evans, Thad Saleska, Pete Tippy Dull, and Matt Bernthal. Brothers John and Tim Jank were also strong contributors to the net- ters' success, Exceptional conference per- formances included Drehmel's third, Evan's fourth, and Berthal's third place showings in their respective divisions. V.U.'s opening three matches took place on the team's Spring Break trip to Tampa Bay and the Orlando area. The matches al- lowed the team to get an early start on their ultimate goal, which was to reach peak per- formance at the Conference tournament. A Spring Break trip is already planned for the 1988 season. Most Valuable Player honors went to freshman Matt Evans, who compiled a strong 13 and 5 record at the number three singles position. The young Crusader team loses no one to graduation, and will regain junior John Mulgrew along with strong freshman recruits for the Spring 1988 sea- son. The 1987 netters showed great enthu- siasm which Coach Daugherty believes will help the 1988 team to produce a record season. ---Dan McGrath 1. Shoot for the sky. 2.

Lead by team captains Todd Kirkpatrick and No- lan Frederick, the Crusaders finished the season with a successful 34-21-2 record. Leading hitter Steve Wigdor tcatcherl, leading home run hitter Dale Polonus tthird basel, and pitcher Tim Holmes with most wins and best Earned Run Average contri- buted outstanding talent and effort to the team's success. Depth in the pitching staff was also a strength and contributing factor to the winning season. Members of the baseball team exper- ienced great pride during the 1987 season, especially due to the fact that the team boasted one of the best records of all of the athletic teams at Valpo last year. Over Spring Break the team traveled to Panama City, Florida, where they played seventeen games. This trip also contributed much to- ward an enjoyable Season. The outlook for 1988 is very positive. With only three seniors, tMark Tyrell, Nolan Frederick, and Todd Kirkpatrickl graduating in 1987, the team will return many exper- ienced players. The depth and potential of the younger members are also encouraging. New coach Paul Twenge will be putting em- phasis on fundamentals and hard work, and hopefully the 1988 Crusader baseball team will continue with great success. --Teresa DeHesus Baseball 146 COSIDA Finds Award Winner At Valpo The 1987 Lady Crusaders softball team had a great season with an overall record of 27-15. The softball team placed third in conference at the Northstar Tournament. With this record, one would not think that the team had just received a new coaching staff! The team's new coach, Carl Galow, stated, Last year was an excellent year for coming into the season late. They respond- ed very well. Player Romie Miller stated, Coach Galow did an excellent job in keep- ing the performance level high. He was very supportive throughout the whole season. Coach Carl Galow had great players to work with. Gina Rhoda was again the leader on offense with a .357 average. Gina was also named to the AII-Conference team at the Northstar Tournament. Laura Ebersole was also chosen Most Valuable Defensive Player at the Tournament. Romie Miller led the team with 24 RBl's. Laura Kamor and Andrea Wagonblast were named to the All- Conference Academic Team. Captain Andrea Wagonblast had a terrific last season. She received the 1987 College Sports Information Directors of America tCOSIDAl award for both her playing ability and academic achievements. Andrea was also the first Valparaiso University athlete to recieve the NCAA Post-Graduate Fellow- ship. This entitles her to a grant in graduate school for the Doctorate program. With ex- amples to follow such as those set by the 1987 Lady Crusaders, the 1988 team can look forward with anticipation to another great season ahead. - Romie Miller WKW - 1.

The purpose of the Intramural Program at Valparaiso University is to promote and provide a wide variety of recreational and competitive activities for all. It gives those individuals who only dream about partici- pating, the chance to do so. This opportuni- ty is open to men and women, independant and Creek. The Athletic Recreation Center offers racquetball, basketball, track, and weight room facitities as well as a pool. The facility is always open to the students, faculty and staff of Valparaiso University, giving an op- portunity for those who want to, to get into shape, stay in shape, or just enjoy athletic activity. The competitive side of our intramural Program is carried out with the formation of leagues. The leagues compete in such sports as soccer, football, basketball, wom- en's and men's volleyball, co-ed volleyball, softball, billiards, table tennis and many more. Each activity lasts approximately four weeks and is then finalized in an AlI-Univer- sity Tournament. Both residential and Greek teams participate in the tournament. All of the activities of the Intramural Pro- gram are controlled by students, under the direction of the Intramural Director, Rin Seibert. The students hold such positions as officials and Intramural Supervisors. Stu- dents are also in charge of renting equip- ment to students, as well as overseeing the general activities that occur throughout the facility. Over the years, the popularity of the ln- tramural Program has increased steadily. Many friends have been made through par- ticipation in the program. The program hopes to provide endless fun for the cam- pus community through both competitive and recreational activities. Hopefully, the program will continue to grow and achieve its goals in years to come. ---Bob Jones 1. Lambda Chi, Jim Wolfsmith covers Phi Delt, Bill Chilton during an IM Flag Football game. 2.

Bored? Don't complain to any of the or- ganizations on campus! These organizations spend much time and money to bring peo- ple and events to Valparaiso University. There can be found many different things to do on any given day, each appealing to a different facet of student needs or interests. Interested in politics? Odds are that you can find both conservative and liberal speakers scheduled for a given season. Musical? You can partake of any variety of music you like e from classical to Christian rock to new wave. interested in spiritual activites or sports? One-in-the Spirit or the . Intramural department can help you. As an example of the effort and planning that are involved in bringing some of these events to you, take the Crumbacher con- cert sponsored by One-in-the-Spirit. Brad Ecton and Blake Pavlik, in charge of con- certs and publicity, respectively, for the or- ganization, began planning the concert in May, 1987. It didn't take place until Octo- ber, but since tickets were sold all over the Chicago area, organization and coordina- tion were begun well in advance. The con- cert cost a total of $4,000 and was attended by approximately 500 people. WVUR sponsors activities which do not even require students to leave the comfort of their own dorm rooms. Just listen for the munching sounds and win a free medi- um-size Snappy Tomato pizza and two cans of pop! How easy can it get? 50, between homework and parties and eating and sleeping, don't be reluctant to take advantage of some of the opportuni- ties provided by your friendly campus orga- nizations - that's what they're there for! --- Julie Griffith 164 1.

You have been invited to join . . . thus begins many an invitation to join a departmental honor society or professional society. These organizations provide many benefits for their members. They provide valuable fillers for spaces in resumes, but besides that they provide in- formation and education for students in their chosen career areas. Other organizations on campus also pro- vide experience and information for their members. The Torch, Beacon, and WVUR provide an opportunity for students inter- ested in the communications media to practice and sharpen their skills. The American Marketing Association sponsors trips to Chicago for Trade Shows and many other organizations sponsor dinners, speak- ers, and other informational programs. Being involved in any organization offers a great opportunity to develop leadership and communications skills of all kinds. The organizations at Valparaiso University are usually of a small enough scope so as to offer opportunites for interaction on a per- sonal level. Participants can choose to be- come involved to the extent they wish, ei- ther giving much time and attention to their particular group, or remain a member in name only. Those who Choose to partici- pate more fully in their organizations gain the added benefit of making friends which may later become connections when networking becomes an important part of the job hunters' vocabulary. Thus, campus organizations, even ser- vice organizations do more than contri- bute services to Valparaiso University. They contribute very real and important services and benefits to their members as well. --- Julie Griffith 1. A joyous sound fills the chapel as the choir lets their voices ring out. 2.

O ganizations 169 School Helps You Get Away The campus of Valparaiso University has many advantages and activities available for its students, faculty, and other members. However, sometimes the campus, as activ- ity-filled as it is, can become confining. There are only so many Union Board lec- tures and movies and pool games that can be endured in lieu of homework. Some- times it is simply necessary to get away from it all, and that sometimes means leaving campus all together. Luckily, we are also provided with the means to do this, courte- sy of the Union Board. Whether it is a Satur- day jaunt to Chicago, a weekend camping trip, an opportunity to catch a pro sports team in action, or a safari to South Padre for Spring Break, it can be done. if it is Chicago that strikes your fancy, trips are offered by bus on Saturday morn- ings, leaving at 9:00 A.M from the Union and not leaving Chicago until 5:30 P.M. This allows ample time for shopping, museums, concerts, plays, lunch at Gino's East, or oth- er metropolitan activities. Evening trips to see the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks are also offered to those who like to watch sporting events, rather than take in the still life of the museums. If the call of the wild is more to your liking, then the Outdoor Recreaction Cen- ter offers you many opportunities. Camping trips that take place over a weekend can add excitement as well as a few new friends to your boring campus life. Downhill skiing trips to area slopes and cross country skiing at the Indiana Dunes are offered for a rela- tively low cost lincluding transportation, equipment, and lift ticketl. When March rolls around and spending two weeks being pale at home, with the folks just does not look all that appealing, the Union Board Travel Committee once again comes to the rescue. For a reasonable price, you will be whisked away in a bus to the exotic island of South Padre in Texas. Get tan, relax, party, and indulge yourself . . . Union Board makes it all possible! ---Julie Griffith Andi Hartman ENTRTEAINMENT TOURS P'R'OtP'E'R-T'I -E- S : South Padre Island 13115 55,-?147610 mom V. II.

Students Work For World Relief The southern African country of Namibia was the location chosen as the focus of this year's campus World Relief Campaign. Again this year, the Chapel of the Resurrec- tion, St. Teresa's Catholic Student Center, Bread for the World, and other campus groups worked together in a month-Iong project of education, awareness raising, and fund raising for a specific project to assist the development and heal the wounds of our brothers and sisters in another country. The specific project chosen this year was to fund the initial costs of starting a medical clinic for a rural area of Namibia. The country of Namibia had drawn the attention of our relief campaign steering committee for several reasons. The country had long been held under the oppressive rule of neighboring South Africa, whose apartheid policies have also been extended to oppress its neighboring country Namibia. Ties between the people of Namibia and the people of the United States are strong, largely through church-related connec- tions, since Namibia is a strongly Christian country, with a large Lutheran population. Our specific fund raising project, to assist in the startup costs of a medical clinic, al- lowed persons associated with the Pau- linum Theological Seminary to meet the medical needs of the surrounding popula- tion, now without medical care. The semi- nary is located in Otjimbingwe, a rural town located in a homeland just west of Wind- hoek, the capital of Namibia. The People's Medical Clinic will meet the basic health needs of a population fifty miles removed from any hospital and medical service, and without transportation means other than foot-travel. In addition to the fund raising aspect of this campaign, films, lectures, display mate- rials, and discussions provided an educa- tional dimension, informing us about the political, social, and cultural setting of Na- mibia. There also was a WVUR Namibia Pro- ject Radiothon in the latter part of Febru- ary. i There were three Sunday afternoon coffeehouses at St. Teresa's Student Center, informal, informative, and entertaining events for the whole campus community. A coffeehouse is an informal gathering of musical performers, poets, comics, or any other act in an intimate setting with refresh- ments and time for an open mike.ll The coffeehouses are an opportunity to share talent and fun, as well as provide channels for involvement. Performers of all varieties were needed to make this work and the support was worth the effort. As other events and fund-raising projects developed, information was published in the Torch and through other campus out- lets. It was the time for campus groups and various organizations to find ways to be a part of both the fund raising and educa- tionsl aspects of this campaign. - John Hazewinkel ' WW 4M5 M; w m; BMW 5, AMKHVKMM, , , , BREAD FOR THE WORLD 'l' 'l' 'I' 1.

Freshman year, everyone who chooses to be exposed to Greek party life ventures down to fraternitywsorority parties after eleven o'clock. Upon walking, or rather pushing his or her way into a given fraterni- ty, one is greeted to the sight of strangely dressed people, a beer-slick floor, and probably strange pieces of foliage and crepe paper littering the dance area. Chances are, they are out of beer. This is Greek party life after eleven. When parties open, Greeks may join their inde- pendent friends and friends in other Greek organizations in dancing, drinking, and so- cializing. However, the events taking place before eleven are also a large part of what makes Greek party life great. After the fraternity and sorority agree on a theme for the party, much attention goes into ideas for decorations and costumes. Last minute purchases of bow ties, black lace gloves, pitchforks, and loincloths may be necessary, or beds may be stripped of Care Bear sheets to provide creative togas. Some party themes are more creative than others. Chis and Delta Sigs got messy at a food fight party, Chops and Betas got mar- ried at their traditional wedding keggar, and Alpha Xis and Sig Taus let their true colors show at their spring Heaven and Hell keg- gar. These more elaborate parties require large financial commitments, but pale be- side the effort some fraternities devote to their date parties. Pikes cover their entire floor with sand and decorate their walls with palm-tree like branches for their beach party, and Phi Psis rent limousines to pick up their dates for their country club date party. The creativity involved in or- chestrating Greek parties deserves a hand, because, like it or not, Greek parties make up a large part of Greek life. ---Julie Griffith 1, On Hallowe'en strange couples, such as Phi 0 Kim Green and friend Desa Bottos spook about. 2.

Greek Parties 201 It's A Spring Celebration Spring Weekend is a long-time Greek tra- dition which gives Greeks a refreshing chance to celebrate Spring musically, athle- tically, and socially. After the long months of snow, books, and responsibilities, the op- portunity to cut loose and have some fun e to initiate some Spring Feverishness - is welcomed by all Creeks. Activities such as Songfest, Field Day, and Champagne Break- fasts give members of Greek organizations ways of exercising many aspects of their groups which may have fallen into disuse over the winter months of frenzied acade- mia. Preparation for Songfest starts months before the actual event for some groups. Sorority and Fraternity songleaders attend meetings, search for theme ideas, and then for appropriate music, and finally plan prac- tices, attire, and choreography e no small task! Competition has become fierce among Greek organizations in Songfest. Phi Psis edged out Pikes and Sig Taus to win the fraternity division with a Come Sail Away Theme, and Chi Sigma Xi placed first in the sorority division with a friendship theme. The Chapel was filled beyond all expecta- tions this year for Songfest, as the campus turned out to watch its Greeks harmonize, and 1987's Spring Weekend Songfest will be long remembered by all who observed or participated. Saturday's main event for most Greeks was the morning of Champagne breakfasts at the fraternities. Constant drizzle made for even-slimier-than-usual mud for the Pike mudslide, and mud-caked Greeks stag- gered around Mound hugging reluctant friends and forcing them to share in the sliminess 0f Valpo's spring celebration. Phi Delts put up their pool in honor of spring, then had a belly-flop contest to see who could displace the most bone-chilling wa- ter. Valpo's Spring Celebration was consid- ered a great success by all, no matter how un-Spring-like the weather. When you combine music, sports, socializing, and fun people, how can the combination be any- thing but a winning one? ---Julie Griffith 1.

Spring Weekend 203 FEATURING: A CID A As Alphas we are very proud of our long history of sisterhood, love, and friendship. Alpha Phi Delta sorority was founded on October 25, 1917 making it the oldest so- rority at V.U. and today's members carry on many traditions now 70 years old. Some of these traditions are Gutter Roast, Alumni Tea, Senior Banquet, and Senior Death March. Alphas also have lltraditional par- ties such as Black and White with Pikes, Roller skating with Sig Eps, and Halloween with Phi Sigs. Although Alphas have a special bond, we encourage and respect independence. Members are involved in numerous activi- ties on campus including SAT Team, Honor Council, CrusaderetteswCheerleading, gymnastics, Senior Class Gift committee, and various service and honor Clubs. We will all definetely be sad to leave V.U. and the Alphas, but are comforted by memories that will stay with us forever. - Diane Patterson PRESIDENT w w W- a: in u. 1.

We enjoy being the vital units which make Xi's what we are today: a strongly bonded network of fun, support, and caring. Individuality and Sisterhood are very important to each Al- pha Xi. Not only is the sisterhood important but community and campus activities also. An annual fundraiser and get back to school brat fry was held at Pikes. Phi Psi's- Xi's co-sponsored a dance at the union to raise over $700 for the American Cancer Society. Homecoming festivities were en- joyed with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha. Alpha Xi's dedication to the University, to the community, and to our members easily demonstrates our motto, FRIENDSHIP BORN OF LOYALTY. - Elizabeth Tanaskoski, PRESIDENT Being a Xi is a responsibility - it's giving a lot and receiving more.

But com- petition was not the only aspect of our year. In addition to the Halloween fundraiser for UNICEF, other highlights of the year includ- ed our traditional Hayride and Winter For- mal. Once again, the annual Bandstand lip-synch theme party and later in the se- mester, the Wedding Keggar, proved to be the most popular and fun parties. The Chis have also been very successful in the cam- pus-wide intramural sports program. Cham- pionships in softball, tennis, and bowling have helped us accumulate the highest total points for the Fall semester in this year's new University competition for women. As President Rachel Robert sums it up, The thing that makes Chi Sigma Xi special in my mind is that along with our strong sense of competition, we are able to be free-spirited and have a great time in whatever we do. e Rachel K.

Love in unity, honor in individuality is the motto of the Delta Phi Kappa Sorority. All the members of the sorority take pride in the motto, in the pink and blue, and in each other. Delta Phi Kappa is a tight knit group of women who work hard to make the sorority the best it can be. The 1987-88 school year was one in which expectations were reached and sur- passed, and new rights were set. Delta Phi's started off the year with a traditional picnic thrown for our faculty and honorary mem- bers. The other traditions of the sorority are Slave Day, in which we raise money by do- ing work for the people in the community, Christmas Blind Date Party, and we end the year with our traditional senior picinic and willing. Delta Phi's kept very busy all year long with a variety of activities. Our main activity this year, which we are very proud of, was helping out with the Boy's and Girl's Clubs. Over 240 hours of time were put in coach- ing basketball teams, tutoring, and enter- taining the children. It was a very gratifying experience for all of us, as was adopting a family at Christmas. Homecoming was a lot of fun this year. We entered a float and had a party and breakfast with Phi Sigs. We also celebrated Homecoming with our alumni. Our Fall For- mal was held in Milwaukee. It was well worth the trip to celebrate the Roaring Twenties. Throughout the year we also had parties with fraternities. Some of the themes were Super Friends, Halloween Costume, and a cook out theme. Other par- ties we had were with our parents for Par- ent's Day, and a sorority Christmas Party for our faculty and honorary members. Delta Phi Kappa consists of energetic, fun loving women who are involved with the University and community, above and be- yond the sorority. We are truly a diverse group of women, each adding our own in- duvidual strengths to the sorority to make it a thriving organization. Our motto summa- rizes the goal of Delta Phi Kappa - a goal we are acheiving every day. - Kathy Muel!er PRESIDENT Being a Delta Phi means being close to a lot of friends and belonging.

Homecoming breakfast with Sig Taus was a blastl! Motto: llUnited with a friendly smile in the true spirit of Christian love. When a new member begins to discover Kappa Psi she will find a sisterhood that will support and encourage her throughout her four years at Valparaiso. The spiritual, emo- tional, and psychological growth that oc- curs throughout the years of membership is something that each Kappa will treasure for the rest of her life. The university teaches us the basics of our future professions, while Kappa Psi Omega teaches us about living together, getting along, and having fun. Each member is confident that the friends she makes in Kappas will be friends that she can call on for the rest of her life. The popu- lar song Lean on Me best expresses the friendship in Kappas: Lean on me when you're not strong, 'cause I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on . . . - Elizabeth lanson PRESIDENT ies 209 I can't believe the year has gone by so fast. As l started this year as president of Phi Beta Chi, I didn't know what I was in for. It has been a year of challenges and changes, not only for the Betas, but also the whole Greek System. The Betas were able to pull Closer together as we worked through the changes. We had great parties this year which helped us all relax after a busy week of classes, meetings and jobs. Not only were we involved with an active social life, but we spent much of our time working togeth- er for ourselves and for the community. Perhaps our most famous contribution is the Halloween fundraiser put on by Betas and Sig Taus for the Valparaiso Boy's Club. Looking back it is obvious to me that this year was full of the faith, hope and love which we have all come to know through our sisterhood in Phi Beta Chi. ---Donna Elbrecht PRESIDENT f , a i ,. f ,, - . , , ROW ONE: Angela Zekios, Amber Schaefer, Rebecca Hessler, Lisa Thorgesen, Shaunna Frank, Leign Ann Williams, Lisa LaFrombois, Donna Elbrecht.

Beer Drinkers Yes, But Much More - Not just striving to strike the balance between school and partying as the over used and often abused cliche goes, we at Lambda Chi Alpha take fraternity a step fur- ther, and believe that we embody the lifeb- lood, the sine qua non, the essence of what a fraternal experience should be; indivi- duals living within a unified brotherhood. We keep our membership low which fos- ters a cohesive atmosphere among the brothers, and allows us to contribute signifi- cantly to both the University and Valparaiso communities. With well attended and out- rageously fun events for charity like Soror- ity Olympics lwhich stocks the shelves of food pantries with canned goodsl, the an- nual Lambda Chi Alpha Airband Contest tnow entering it's eighth successful year of providing funds for the Scott Lohr Scholar- shipi, and our recent involvement with VU's Wellness Center and Porter County Win- terfest, we still manage to maintain out- standing performances in intramural sports lBasketball Champs in 1987i, and a zealous contribution to the campus social life . And we are not in want of fun llin house events such as the annual second floor vs. third floor snow football games, spontaneous road trips, hoops, hacky-sack hockey games, and an occasional food fight to let off steam. One of our late seventies alumni recently recalled a quote in a post card he sent to the house that captures the spirit of our bond. The quote emerged in the founding years of our chapter: llSchool is life, but Lambda Chi Alpha is Living. e Mitch Hastings llBeing part of something that will last a lifetime - not just for four years. Dave Christiansen SENIOR Fraternities 213 214 Being a part of Phi Delta Theta can be both a very rewarding experience and a very challenging one. The Brothers of Phi Delta Theta are a very unique group in that they're difficult to stereotype. They are a very diverse brotherhood who possess so many different attributes, but yet they're all strengthened with the unity of the llBOND of Phi Delta Theta. Throughout challenging and difficult times, the brothers always stayed together while forever build- ing the friendships which last a lifetime. The year of 87-88 was a very prosperous and satisfying one with the annual Christmas Party for the underprivileged children of the Family House, done jointly with the Gammas, a fund drive for the March of Dimes, and participation in the CROP Walk for the hungry. The Intramural Flag Football team traveled to New Orleans for the sec- ond consecutive year, after winning the campus championship, to compete in the National Flag Football Tournament. Phi Delts also had brothers competing in varsity football, baseball, wrestling, and rugby. Al- though the young men of this fraternity are unique in their own way, each is always Proud to be a Phi. - Scott Jacobs PRESIDENT Never again will I be able to enjoy myself like I did during my years at the Phi Delt house and the friends I'll never forget.

Striving to be their very best - this year is Phi Kappa Psi's ten year anniversary of our rechartering and we remain to be leaders on this campus today. Phi Psis were among the top in academics, intramurals, and community leadership in 1987-88, a goal we have achieved many times in the past. We sponsored a charity dance with Alpha Xi Epsilon which raised over $800 for the American Cancer Society. Our annual Toga Party with the Betas raised funds to distribute to other notable charities. We also helped park cars at the Popcorn Festi- val. This year Phi Psis worked with Chi Sig- ma Xi to capture first place with our Home- coming float, while Phi Psi David Boyle was crowned Homecoming King. It takes a strong group of people to achieve what Phi Psis have over the years, and this year was no exception. Junior Seth Harms said, A distinct devotion to athlet- ics, scholarship, and brotherhood allows Phi Psis to form a common bond with a unique appeal. Phi Kappa Psi has come a long way and will continue to strive to be the best for years to come. ---Rick Burman PRESIDENT Being a Phi Psi has taught me that the most important thing in life is people.

Phi Sigma Kappa is a diverse brotherhood of highly motivated individuals. Most of our members were drawn to Phi Sigs because they didn't like the management structure and traditions of the other Fraternities on campus. As different ideologies merge, the brotherhood is strengthened by learning from others' experiences. This configura- tion, along with a small size, mandates that everyone participates in all aspects of chap- ter management. Highlights of this year in- cluded our haunted house with Alphas, the Kappa Champagne Jam, and Spring Week- end alumni festivities. Also this year a $15,000 renovation was begun starting with landscape work and ending with major re- construction inside the chapter house. It's been a lot of good times with good friends for lasting memories. Steve Wen- dling, SENIOR 1. Wanna Beer? 2. What's for dinner tonight? 3. Do i know you? 4. Let's have some fun boys.

Over 300 members of our strong and growing Alumni Association joined the ac- tive brothers and their dates at the '87 Pig Roast. Faculty advisor Dr. Dean Kohlhoff, oversees the effort to roast enough hog for nearly 500 people. The brothers are sports-minded as well. We have varsity ath- letes on the baseball, football, basketball, track, soccer, and wrestling teams. During the year we are also involved in community events such as Popcorn Festival, as well as campus events like Songfest.

As a relatively new Greek Organization on the Campus of Valparaiso Uni- versity, Sigma Chi Sigma retains a'strategic position from which to project a fresh and positive attitude. Through worthy community efforts, such as the Valparaiso Boy's Club and the Schultz-Lewis Orphanage, Sigma Chi Sig- ma is engaging itself in what they hope to be, a constant and steadily increasing commitment to excellence. Our fraternity is gradually achieving our goals set with the administration, the international fraternity, and within the brotherhood. Finally, Sigma Chi Sigma prides itself on being a fraternity where the individual can make a difference. - Frank Schmer PRESIDENT Being a Sigma Chi Sigma gave me a chance to be part of something new, a part of history.

One area that the fraternity takes a lot of pride in is the closeness that each brother possesses. Our brotherhood is evident in the support we have at intramural games, rush events, and weekly parties. Participation in campus activities has alway been a big part of our life with active involvement in student organi- zations . Also, Sig Eps have always been very active in intramural sports, finishing second over-all last year, and campus events like Songfest and Homecoming.

EH During the 1987-88 school year, the men of Sigma Pi had the rare opportunity to run themselves without any interference from the outside world. Undoubtably due to the administration, our concept of a fraternity is somewhat altered. Despite this, we look forward to the coming years, building on the leadership of sage Paul Pasche and trea- surer Kurt Harvey. Pasche introduced rushing by the sword, and thanks to Kurt Harvey and his success at raising money through the sale of lost Children, our de- fense budget will more than cover the costs of forcibly coercing helpless freshmen to pledge. Perhaps there will even be enough in the budget for a few parties!

Some notable accomplisments included 3rd place in the annu- al song festival along with float honors in the Homecom- ing parade. Sigma Tau Gamma is also proud of obtaining the high- est GPA award. Sigma Tau Gamma was again proud to host its Annual Halloween Costume fundraiser benefit- ting the local boys club, Other well attended social func- tions included freshman Casino Night, and jello wres- tling. Sigma Tau Gamma is an ever changing and exciting collage of individuals. The face of Sigma Tau Gamma changes as frequently as the years pass. Amidst constant change one thing remains to preserve the heritage of Sigma Tau Gamma for years to come: a concern for the furthering of both academic and social achievement. A lot of good times with special friends I probably would not have met if I hadn't joined. Memories I will treasure forever. Douglas G.

They saw the passing of responsibility from the older, graduating brothers to the younger genera- tion of Theta Chi. This will insure the lon- gevity of a Theta Chi chapter at Valparaiso University. Theta Chi's have performed many social activities which included singing Christmas carols to the elderly at a nearby nursing home, at which many of us lost our voices and were unable to participate in Songfest this year, and our sending fresh, home - baked cookies to the sororities. Of the many memories we will have about this year will be the great Homecom- ing festivities, our date parties and formals, and the very successful double keggar with Pikes. This showed the Theta Chi's commit- ment to Greek fellowship at V.U. Again with the passing of another year, we will regretfully have to say good-bye to some brothers as they move into the real world. To them we wish them all the luck in the world, and we will see you next year at Homecoming. A lifetime of respect and always know- ing there will be a brother there for you. Joe LaBarbera, SENIOR 1.

To residents, dorms do serve as stages. Activities held in and around the dorms, as well as the people involvedl cover a wide spectrum, as one may realize by the signs plastered in the hallways. Whether it is an impromptu dance in the lobby at Daut Kreinheder, or a softball tournament at Wehrenberg that pits wing against wing for a cash prize, something of interest is always going on. Things like these help build lasting friendships and savored memories - things like the fifteen minute study break that turned into a two hour pizza party. Not only do the bonds exist between roommates or wings, but across campus as well. One dar- ing wing in Lankenau even ventured to decorate one of the bathrooms in Wehren- berg! Although each dorm has its own certain flavor, or atmosphere, the general feeling of the students toward their own residences is a positive one. The dorms are places where good friends and good times are top prior- ity. ---Stephanie Schauer 228 4...

Dorms 229 CASTS: Residential Assistants There is no doubt that resident advisers, or R.A.s, are an important part of our school. They are there not only to enforce the rules, but to offer emotional support when needed. By becoming R.A.s, these people are taking on big responsibilities and giving up much of their freedom, too. Not only do they have to make their rounds on certain nights and be there for the students, but they also have their own social lives and school work to attend to. When asked to define an R.A., most stu- dents will agree that it is someone who re- presents the only form of order in the dorm. This individual watches out for you, makes sure everything is cool for you, and helps you out when you need it. However, many students also feel that R.A.s some- times abuse the power they are given. As one student says, Some R.A.s go on a 'power trip.' They are given this authority by the school and they turn themselves into dorm police. This is not true of all R.A.s, of course, for many have stuck to the real idea of being a 'big brother or sister' and repri- manding students when needed. There are some, however, who seem like they're out to 'pink' everyone. Another common complaint about R.A.s is that the female R.A.s are stricter than the males, instead of both being equally strict or lenient. Most all students agree, though, that the concept of an R.A. is a good one and that they do a lot for the dorms. Andrea Smith, an R.A. at Lankenau, gave her views on being an R.A., which I'm sure reflect the opinions of many other R.A.s. When asked how she felt about being an R.A., she says, I really enjoy being an R.A. However, I wish that people would see the R.A.s more as someone they can go to. An R.A. should not be regarded only as an au- thority figure, but also as a counselor. More emphasis needs to be put on this aspect. Students often wonder how the R.A.s feel about reprimanding them. To this question Andrea replies, It has to be done. The rules have to be enforced for the consideration of others. Being an upperclassman and living with freshmen can also be a difficult thing for R.A.s. They are away from students their own age, and it can be hard for them to be a friend and also an authority figure to the students in their hall. As Andrea says, Even if I become really good friends with the people in my hall, I'm still their R.A. Also, being in a sorority and not living in the sorority hall can make you feel left out. R.A.s can't participate in Rush, either, which is difficult. Being a junior and living with freshmen is a difficult thing. Despite all they have to give up in be- coming an R.A., I believe that most of these individuals will agree that they have gotten as much, if not more, out of it as they put in. When asked how she feels about this, An- drea replied, A lot of it is what you can give, but also it is a growing experience. You learn a lot. ---Sharon Leiter 1.

I can remember, as a freshman in Dauw Kreinheder, first noticing that strange door next to the laundry room bearing the title: Resident Director, and being puzzled. After all, I was one of those many lost souls, ap- propriately named freshmen, who each year must undergo that awkward, often try- ing transition period between high school and college - everything seemed so new and strange to me. Eventually, though, the mystery behind the title was solved as I learned who and what our Resident Direc- tor was. It is true that at one time Resident Direc- tors were called Dorm Mothers because they do act, in a sense, as our substitute m swig m, parents. Today, however, the Resident Di- 232 rector's job is more complex, involving more counseling - academic and personal - and thus much more of an involvement with the students. The Resident Director must sometimes act as a disciplinarian, but his or her main FQUHX ObYau l Qualities of A Dorm Director: edz5e The Person Behind The Door task is to attempt to insure a harmonious atmosphere between everyone within the dorm - Resident Assistants, residents, the kitchen staff... It seems a Resident Direc- tor's work is never done. Unlike normal working people who are able to leave their jobs after a hard day at the office, the Resi- dent Director cannot since he lives where he works. However, all of the Resident Di- rectors, with the exception of Mrs. Smith, director of Daqureinheder, have other jobs, so they are able to find some refuge, if only temporarily. Above all, though, the work of a Resident Director is rewarding, since they enjoy meeting new students and R.A.'s. The re- ward is also received by the students, espe- cially freshmen, who see the Resident Di- rectors as positive, stable forces in their lives, for they are always there if their resi- dents need direction. e Heidi Schriver +qunO FlyOQr Sizw Featuring: Wehrenberg FIRST FLOOR Right to ler FIRST ROW: Tim Becker, Don Raack, Tony Looper, John Ault, Brian Jonyearts, Scott Draeger, Matt Stevens.

With the end of the 1987-88 school year another ending has also been reached. President Schnabel will have finished ten years as President of Valpo. A lifetime of service in education has come to an end. President Schnabel started out long ago on the quest to put into the education system everything he had gotten out of it. He began as a principal of a Lutheran school. He then worked his way up to becoming Superintendent of the school system. Un- der his supervision was 110 schools and 500-600 faculty mem- bers. Higher education soon started calling his name. He be- came a professor at Concordia College. His degree from his own higher education majored in Philosophy. Eventually Academic Dean became his way of life and this was not the end for our President Schnabel. Concordia College-Broxville beckoned and the temptation was his first Presidency. Finally ten years ago the final challenge was offered: To come to Valparaiso University and build it into one of the leading private universities. If asked, President Schnabel will state that he doesn't believe he has achieved everything he would liked to have. He will be modest and downplay his role in what has been achieved. But if one looks at the list of accomplishments since his addition to the administration, the list is long and impressive. The list starts of with a very important point. A number of improvements have been made amongst the relationships be- tween faculty and staff. Good relations help make an easy-going atmosphere. This is important for everyone including the stu- dent. One of the most important accomplishments was the develo- pement of the Council on University Priorities and Planning. When this was set up the committee set a goal of $50 million. This campagne was reached in two years. They are now on their way to the new goal of $72 million. This money has been used to improve the physical aspect of Valpo's campus. Some of the changes include such additions as: 1. The new School of Law 1. A deep look of concentration appears on the President's face after session of the University Senate. 2. President Schnabel hands out needed advice everyday. 2. ARC 3. ACCC 4 4. The new DeaconessiHall with the old hall being changed into offices for the faculty. 5. The new Administration Center located in the renovated Kretzman Hall. Then there is the new baby project of the committee and that is the fqture Performing Arts Center. Other achievements include the continuing development of the inner structure of the University. Also building recognition of the character of the University. An endowment of $35 million was started and was reached. They are now on their way to $80 million for the endowment. But of course the most important improvement has been the academic quality. Valparaiso has re- cieved more and more recognition and now is ranked first out of 139 colleges of its size in the Midwest and West. Once the burdens of being President are gone, President Schnabel plans on staying around Valparaiso for awhile. He would like to enjoy all of the benefits offered by a University as a spectator without obligations. Of course after this time period he and his wife plan on traveling and discovering the surround- ing world. Of course once into education it is hard to ever pull fully out. President Schnabel plans on keeping active with the national scene. He is secretary of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and is also active in the Association of Colleges of Indiana. He also plans on doing a limited amount of consulting. One must never look upon an ending as just that, for after all it is yet a chance for a new beginning. The students of Valparaiso University thank President Schnabel for all his hard work and wish him the best of luck in the future. The time has come to relax and enjoy the benefits of others. e Sharon Cannon Editor-in-Chief 66A VIEAID IIN IDIIEWIIIIEW99 LSIaff Played 3m DIRECTOR - Sharon Cannon COP Y EDITOR lAYOU T EDITOR HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER Julie Griffith Sharon Cannon Karie Payne CAMPUS lIFE EDITOR SENIORS EDITOR SPORTS EDITOR Steff Winkelhake Lynn Gustafson Sharon Cannon ORGANIZATIONS CREEKS DORM$ EDITOR FA C UlTY EDITOR EDITOR Sarah Silseth Wendy Wildauer Tina Papandreou ADS EDITORS BUSINESS MANAGER Je Nutto Ann Mastic Paula Chodan ENSEMBLE PHOTOGRAPHERS: Kellie Day, Chrissie Jeziorski, Anneleis Wood, Anne Kroeger, Judy Ball, Mike See- feldt, Ali Malaekeh, Jim O'Malley.

Staff 249 , The Person Behind The Door I can remember, as a freshman in Dauw Kreinheder, first noticing that strange door next to the laundry room bearing the title: Resident Director, and being puzzled. After all, I was one of those many lost souls, ap- propriately named freshmen, who each year must undergo that awkward, often try- ing transition period between high school and college - everything seemed so new and strange to me. Eventually, though, the mystery behind the title was solved as I learned who and what our Resident Direc- tor was. It is true that at one time Resident Direc- tors were called llDorm Mothers because they do act, in a sense, as our substitute parents. Today, however, the Resident Di- rectgr's job is more complex, involving more counseling - academic and personal - and thus much more of an involvement with the students. The Resident Director must sometimes act as a disciplinarian, but his or her main task is to attempt to insure a harmonious atmosphere between everyone within the dorm - Resident Assistants, residents, the kitchen staff . . . It seems a Resident Direc- tor's work is never done. Unlike normal working people who are able to leave their jobs after a hard day at the office, the Resi- dent Director cannot since he lives where he works. However, all of the Resident Di- rectors, with the exception of Mrs. Smith, director of Daqureinheder, have other jobs, so they are able to find some refuge, if only temporarily. Above all, though, the work of a Resident Director is rewarding, since they enjoy meeting new students and R.A.'s. The re- ward is also received by the students, espe- cially freshmen, who see the Resident Di- rectors as positive, stable forces in their lives, for they are always there if their resi- dents need direction. ---Heidi Schriver 1.

Bill Smirga: What, me wor- ry?'l iflI-IIE IBIDANID IFIINAIIIE COLOPHON A Year in Review was decided upon as the theme of the 1988 Beacon, volumn 48, by Libby Sturmfels. All material neces- sary to produce the book were provided by Iostens Publishing Company, located in Topeka, Kansas. The Jostens Company ac- cepted all written, photographic and art work, then printed and bound 2,800 copies of the 9 by 12 book which con- tained 288 pages. Mike Hackleman, Sales Representative for Jostens Company, kept the lines of communication running smoothly between the Beacon staff and Pam Ortega, plant consultant for Jostens. The Beacon operated under a $36,275 budget with $30,635 being provided by Student Senate. The basic type face is optima; body copy is 9 pt generally with captions being 7 pt and main headlines being 36 pt. Subhead- Iines varied between 18 pt and 14 pt. The cover was designed by Sharon Can- non with much help from Mike Hackle- man. It is a Craftline cover in Blue Shadow 994493 with the theme embossed in gold foil with Broadway Engraved print. The theatre embossed on the cover is the inte- rior of the Second Boston Museum, Bos- ton. The paper is 80 lb. lvorytone paper stock and the end-sheets are Medium Blue $813.

Hopefully the roles we have played at Valpo have been fun and are worth remembering. This leads us to the Beacon. It is published each year with the hopes that it will be used for years to come, to remember the good times of V.U. This year we tried what we thought was a new approach. In past years the books have used the approach of an outsider looking into the University and this year we tried and hopefully succeeded to make the book feel like it was writ- ten and designes from the inside. A Year in Review was ex- pressed in the man y little subtulties that one would associate with broadway and plays in general. The artwork on the cover sho ws that we, the actors, are presenting to you - THE BEA C ON. Throughout the rest of the book one hopefully looks on as if in the audience of the play. But putting a yearbook together isn't easy. Where to begin thanking people is the hardest part. First I would like to especially thank Mike Hackleman for all his help. I know it was quite a shock to start dealing 1. Know What?III EDITOR'S NOTE with someone new after a month into school. Thanks for all the help and enduring my quest for the per- fect cover. And no I'm not hiding the pages under the bed and avoid- ing you!!! Next I would like to apoligize to the lighter staff for all the inconvien- ceses and for taking over your work space half of the year. Julie, what would I have done without you? Stories just flow through your fingertips. You also brought Andy H into the swing and God only knows if I would have fin- ished everything in the end without her. Thank you both so very much and boy do I owe you a big one! Karie-Thank you for all your hard work and dedication first semester. Good luck in what ever you end up doing. I need to specially thank my friends. You were there when I needed your support and you all pulled together to help me. You all pulled some late nights that were unnecessary to you but helped me more than I can ever say. Ali e you've turned into a great photo- gragher and I don't know where I'd have been without your captions. You've turned into just the All- Around yearbook jock. Linda, Tim, Andy - What you guys have put up with is incredible! Thanks for all the late night help and keeping me in good spirits when I thought I would break under the stress. Linda - Guess what? You are going to get your roommate backl! Tim - You can use my darkroom any time baby! Andy - For bring the party to my office and stopping by every once in awhile to say hi. Friends like the three of you are very hard to find and I am so glad that l have found you!!! One last thank you goes out to my parents for understanding my insan- ity!! I can honestly say that this has been one of the best learning exper- iences of my life. I do hope that ev- eryone enjoys this book, we've tried very hard!
