University nrolled the largest number of students in 's history and also set a new record for the jumber of graduates. Along with the growth a student enrollment, there was similar rowth of the campus. | Davis Hall was opened during the fall omester. The dedication ceremony was held n October 17, 1982 in the TV studio. The story 60,000 square foot building in- ludes classrooms, laboratories and offices or the Social Science Division and Public ervice Division. Also, the University’s station fublic Broadcasting _ television VVUT, and Public Broadcast radio station, VVUB, are located in Davis Hall. _ Students also saw the opening of the new, entralized dining facility. Tecumseh Din- ing Center has four dining rooms, with four serving lines, and can accommodate 500 students at one time. At the beginning of the year, the residence hall students were temporarily fed in the Student Union and Tecumseh Dining Green Auditorium. Center was opened in October and was dedicated at Homecoming on November 20, 1982. In addition, Tecumseh Park (adjoin- ing Tecumseh Dining Center) was con- structed through funding from the Indiana Office of Occupational Development and provides brick-paved walkways, brick ben- ches and landscaping to help beautify that section of the campus. The University is very proud of the many achievements of students, organizations and faculty. One of the many successes in | A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 1982-83 was the V.U. Men’s Bowling Team winning both the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) and the NCBA (National Collegiate Bowling Association) bowling championships. V.U.’s champion bowlers were the 1 Bowling team in the nation. The 1982-83 academic year will be remembered for many achievements and successes, but the greatest memories will be of the friendships and accomplishments of students. This Yearbook chronicles the ac- tivities of the year and captures the spirit of the V.U. campus. May all of those whose lives have been touched by V.U. remember their alma mater and continue to fulfill the in order to University’s motto, ‘Learn serve.” Living... There are many scenes at V.U. we see each day that we will remember forever. Throughout the year many changes have oc- curred on campus. These new sights include Davis Hall and the Tecumseh Dining Center. Many sights never seem to change though: the relaxing view of the Wabash River, the heavenly sight of the water tower, and those creative works of art out- side the Humanities building. The time to live is now — here at V.U. It is quickly changing, expanding, and growing more beautiful with the changing of time. V.U.’s newest classroom building is Davis Hall. It houses the facilities for the Public Service division and the Social Science division. The water tower is a familiar sight to the students on campus. The annual Tube Race takes place on the Wabash River. The fifth residence hall is under construction. The completion date is July 1983. The Art department holds classes in the Humanities building. Throughout the year works of art are displayed on the grounds surrounding the building. Tecumseh Dining Hall opened in October. Meals are provided for the 2,000 residence hall students there. G rowing... Many students found themselves making friends from different parts of the state and country. Students could meet informally or through school sponsored activities. Many events were scheduled throughout the year. Some of the annual events were the tube race. Dad’s Weedend, Homecoming, Winter Formal, Casino Royale Night, Mom’s Weekend, Miss V.U. Pageant, and the Lit- tlest 500. Growing with our through activities made our friendships all friends the more valuable. Contestants are interviewed by Doug Grostefon, master of ceremonies, during the Miss V.U. Pageant. Students try to catch the first rays of summer on the banks of the Wabash River. A member of the Harrison Hall bike team expresses his happiness after their victory in the Littlest 500 bike race. CAMPUS_ Residents of Clark Hall perform their skit during the spring variety show. A couple relaxes and enjoys the sunshine between classes. Students play a friendly game of Monopoly during their spare time. ® oe MODS ow. ae s , pea Being... A sense of belonging was created through the many organizations at V.U. No matter what your interest, there was a club for you. These organizations covered interests in politics, music, writing, dance, and many of the academic fields. A few of the many clubs on campus in- cluded: fraternities, sororities, choir, band, the Trailblazer, Blazerettes, Student Senate, hall councils, Flying Blazers, auto mechanics, and international students. Each of these clubs offered many interesting and fun-filled hours for those involved in them. The high-kicking Blazerettes is a traditional organization at V.U. where teamwork makes them a top attraction. The musicians of the V.U. Soundsation depend upon syn- chronization of sound to get their musical message across. Teamwork is needed for individuals in organizations to win during the many events on “‘Almost Anything Goes”’ Day. Here a couple practices for the three legged race. TERRIFIC TEAMWORK The organizations also offered many students an opportunity to get involved. In- volvement has always played a key role in each college student’s life. The time spent in these clubs remains in each of our lives as memories of campus life are reviewed. The organizations at V.U. have always allowed students to be themselves and still be part of something important. Alpha Eta Rho, honorary flight fraternity, put it all together to take a trophy in the Homecoming Parade. Many organizations are represented in the annual Littlest 500 bicycle race. Teamwork is stressed, as anyone can plainly see! OEA is just one of the many organizations on cam- pus where students learn valuable leadership and “‘peo- ple” skills. MEE a a ao a rs eo, i ee ee ee One of the strangest sights on campus this year was the moving of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house. Students and faculty alike gathered to watch as the house moved down Second Street and onto Tecumseh Street. Construction continues on the fifth residence hall. Vigo Hall is scheduled to open for the fall semester of the 1983-84 school year. It will house approximately 400 students. Hm 10 CONSTRUCTION ianmaana © ee er a A new hanger was built at O’Neal Airport replacing the one destroyed in a fire in February, 1983. Workers toil feverishly to complete the walk ways in Tecumseh Park. The finished product — Tecumseh Dining Hall opened in October. The dining hall and adjacent park were dedicated during Homecoming weekend. The house containing offices for the Social Science Division was torn down. The Social Science Division now occupies the third floor of Davis Hall. _ The area beside the Humanities building received a face lift after the house was demolished and mobile classrooms were removed.

While the administration tried to make registration as painless as possible for everyone, there was plenty of things we would rather do than imitate a mouse in a maze! ‘Anyone not wanting to take ECON 100 at 8:00 a.m. MWF must beat Professor McCraney in arm wrestling.” “Is this where I sign up for ABACUS 101?” Some classes proved to be well worth the wait, while others... “That will be $520 and one pint of blood.” 70 Convo The popularity of advice columns has in- creased, it seems, as the personal problems of our Nation’s people have increased. Riding the crest of that popularity is the Dean of Advice Columnists, Ann Landers. V.U. was privileged to host Miss Landers in a convocation (and the first Community Series presentation of the 1982-83 year) on September 9, 1982. Her down-to-earth ad- vice was received well by young and old alike. Miss Landers gives straight talk advice but admits that she hasn’t always been 100% correct. It is obvious that she has fans of all ages. Miss Landers makes a point during her presentation. 71 Splish Splash! The rules are quite simple. Students representing various organizations, divi- sions, dorms, etc. lash a group of inner tubes together and paddle down the Wabash. While not everyone could be winners; everyone, spectators and participants, had a good time. Worthy of note was the 33rd_ place finisher, Rainbow Gang, who won the Best Decorated Trophy.

After two early season losses on the road, one by one point to Alleghany College and one by two points to Wabash Valley Col- lege, the “Blazers ran off a streak of victories including record setting wins at home to finish the regular season at 28 and 2. VU took the Southern District, Region 12 NJCAA Tournament with wins over Lakeland CC, Cincinnati Tech and Sinclair CC. They clinched the Region 12 title with two wins over Henry Ford CC (Best of 3) and then scored a first round victory in the NJCAA Tournament by defeating Kankakee CC at home. At Hutchinson, Kansas, the Trailblazers were defeated by Walker (Ala.) JC in the second round, thereby falling into the consolation tournament. Their next op- ponent was an old nemesis — Wabash Valley College. The Blazers had won the season series two to one with their Mt. Carmel, Illinois rival. Both teams had op- portunities to put the game away in regula- tion, but played an overtime period. When the smoke cleared, VU was sidelined with an outstanding 34 and 4 season record. Court- ney Witte, who announced that he would be attending Indiana University next year — the first junior college player ever recruited by Coach Bob Knight of IU — was selected to the NJCAA Ail-American First Team. Bernard Campbell, who set a one year in- dividual scoring record for VU men’s basket- ball, was selected as Honorable Mention. Tall trees Courtney Witte (50) and Dwayne Randall (31) maneuver behind the defense looking for a pass. The action under the boards was terrific all year long. Scott Wood (behind the basket) feeds the ball to Witte while Cliff Morgan moves under the board. 1982-83 Schedule and Results OPPONENT WE THEY Glen Oaks CC 88 59 Wabash Valley College 72 70 Lindsey Wilson College 83. 62 THE VINCENNES UNIVERSITY 1982-83 MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM — Front Row, Seated: Assistant Shawnee State College 107 58 Coach Jayson Holmes, Tim Vest, George Allen, Karl Donovan, Ernest Hubbard, Brad Burk, Bernard Campbell, St. Catherine College 116 72 Jeff Kline and Head Coach Dan Sparks.

After edging Lake Michigan College in the first game of a best of three series for the Region 12 Championship, the Lady Blazers dropped the next two games to end their season at 17-13. Coach Schwartz was happy with the winning season and believed she had the returning players that could make 1983-84 even more successful.

The Women’s Bowl- ing Team had a good year, defeating Purdue and ISU, placing 5th in the Hoosier Classic, 14th of 44 teams in the National Collegiate Team Match Play Tournament, and 6th in both the President’s Classic and Sycamore Classic. Coach Carol Miley had hoped for a better finish than her team’s 6th in the NJCAA Championships in Niagara Falls, New York, but . . . wait until next year!

Men’s Bowling. Coach James Miley, rapidly becoming a campus fixture at VU, led the Men’s Bowling Team to new heights during the 1982-83 season. The final team win-loss record of 26-14 in no way reflects all of the team’s accomplishments. NJCAA Champs, two All-American team members and the NCBC Championship brought many honors to VU. All of this and Coach Miley was named Coach of the Year in the JUCO.

Just go out and win the National College Bowling Conference Championships. The Men’s Bowling Team of VU did just that. It happened in late May when most students had graduated or returned home. During the regular season, the team gave no real in- dication of what was to come. They bowled well, defeating Ball State and ISU twice, Purdue twice and finished lst in the Hoosier Classic. They were 3rd in their own President’s Classic and won the IU Invita- tional. In March, 1983, the team travelled to Niagara Falls, New York where they nail- ed down the NJCAA Championship. After ' winning the NCBC sectionals at Champaign, Illinois in April, the team found themselves doing extra duty May 5th through 7th at the Nationals in St. Louis, Missouri. VU became the first Junior College ever to win the NCBC Championship when they defeated Arizona State in the Championship match. Coach Jim Miley was named Coach of the Year and keglers Dave Frye and Cookie Kuelling were named to the NJCAA All-American Bowling Team.

This he is doing and hopes future teams will bring home individual and team honors to VU. One particular bright spot in this year’s competition was the work of Terry Mitton who established a school record in the long jump with a jump of 25 4” and took first place in the NJCA. Women’s Track Vincennes University’s first ever Women’s Track team was organized this year. Two members of the team, Leslie Whitcomb and Kris Kimmel placed 14th and 15th in the Region 12 meet respective- ly and won the right to participate in the na- tional competition.
