Dreams '94 ,
,.,»-fc*'*"^
Qes, we had our share of nightmares this year. Most were based on the weather. We suffered through un- bearable September heat, steady rain throughout most of Home- coming weekend, winter's severe I cold and frequent ice storms and the late arrival of spring. But the positives always outweighed the negatives. Our dreams of the fu- ture, those little things that mean so much to each of us, continued to inspire us, even on the darkest days. And reaching for that dream called graduation was what all of us were ultimately working for.

Campus adopts new anti-tobacco use policy; many students object
Many students that were used to the coffee and cigarette routine in Benedum Commons were in for a shock this year.
A new anti-tobacco poHcy was enforced, prohibit- ing the use of tobacco products in all buildings, including Benedum Commons.
John Cunningham, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said this new policy came about to heed the advice of the Surgeon Gen- eral and new information about smoking and the effects of second-hand smoke.
Although students realized the effects of smoking and second-hand smoke, they were not pleased that all of their rights were taken away.
"1 don't see any reason that smokers should have their rights withheld in Benedum Commons," sophomore Liz Jewell said, "and no reason that half

There also were some students who were in disagreement with the policy and planned to draw up a petition supporting smokers in Benedum Commons to help them gain some of their rights.
"I can understand that non-smokers should hav the right not to breathe the smoke," senior Lynne Franklin said. "They have the right to make that choice and we have the right to smoke or not to smoke." (by Michele Capots)

Workers vote down union
In the Sept. 10 vote overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, Physical Plant workers voted 21-17 that they no longer wanted the United Mine Workers of America as their bargaining agents.
"1 feel very good about the results," President D. Duane Cummins said. "We are putting all animosity behind us to work together to build the right rela- tionship between the Physical Plant workers and the administration."
Local 8291 President Charlie Read agreed that workers and administration needed to work to- gether.
"These are all adults here and they voted the way they wanted to vote," Read said. "Hopefully, we'll get together and talk and make some decisions. I'm not saying that things are going to come out great right away, but approaching this with sincere and open minds is the whole ball of wax."
Cummins said that after a short legal delay he would negotiate directly with the Physical Plant workers since there would no longer be a collective

Bethany College still in the dark
Even after the addition of some outdoor lights in he spring of 1993, there still seemed to be concerns bout adequate lighting on campus. Last spring ights were added at the top of Cardiac Hill and round the Goodnight House.
Sven de Jong, Student Board of Governors presi- ent, said he thought the campus could still use nore lighting in some places.
Other students also agreed that there still needed 0 be more lighting. Many students didn't feel safe ralking at night by themselves. Sophomore Sherri laker did not think campus lighting was sufficient. Cardiac Hill is really scary," said Baker, a Heri- nge House resident. "1 usually get someone from "le football team to walk me home at night, if I have 3 walk."
Senior John Blaho said there were dark areas in ront of the cafeteria by the parking lot and the lot ehind Morlan Hall.
They should pay more attention to the lights that re burned out," he said, "It seems like forever until
ey get them replaced." f by Stephanie Cooke)

Welcome to "Our House"
The lower level of Morlan Hall was revamped into an alternative housing unit. Students residing in this area had to follow the freshman alcohol policy and certain rules of their own, such as quiet hours.
The idea was proposed by students who were looking for a different type of housing than previ- ously offered at Bethany, (by Midiele Capets)
Alcohol policy enforced
NCAA and Bethany College alcohol policies were enforced at sporting events. The college's student handbook stated that 'the consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in any public areas of the campus — including athletic facilities and outside grovmds.' The NCAA alcohol policy stated that no alcohol was allowed in sporting arenas.
Athletic Director Wally Neel said athletics was trying to bring to the attention of spectators that there was a policy. The athletic department also was trying to make sure spectators knew where they were allowed to tailgate.

October
Campbell Hall flooded
The women of Campbell Hall found many areas of their residence hall flooded as water made its way into the building as roofers worked on repairing the roof.
The old roof was so bad that it had collected water and as the roofers tore up the old roof, the water fell into rooms on the third floor, said senior Kathleen Costlow, president of Campbell.
When it rained, rooms and halls were again flooded. The water backed up in some pipes and went through the inside of the walls on all three floors. It also went past electrical circuits on the second floor.
Even though the roof had been built about eight years ago, it was evident that it needed repairs. Joe Kurey, vice president of finance and treasurer, said a roof should last 20 years.
Senior Tara Garden found her room flooded two nights in a row.
"Water was gushing down the wall across the hall and into my room," Garden said.
Junior Sharon Finney was one of the many residents worried about water running into a second floor electrical box.
Although Campbell residents were warned that the roof would be under repair, they had no idea of the possibility of flooding, (by Rachel Wagner)

Women revolt in 'Lysistrada
The second performance of the Bethany theatre season was "Lysistrada" by Aristophanes. The play opens dur- ing the Peloponnesian War when the fighting is at a standstill. Lysistrada decides to unite the women in an effort to end the war. She urges the women to deny sexual favors to all men in an effort to force the men to end the fighting and sign a treaty.
This comedy illustrated the relationship between the actual war and the war the women fought against the men.
Lysistrada was played by senior Emily Vulgamore, who is pictured with senior Holly Price and juniors Jonathan Vogel and Omar Benchoff. Tim Thompson, visiting assistant professor of Fine Arts, directed the play. Senior Leigh Ann Johnson assisted, {by Robin Laniewski)

Homecoming
Homecoming came and went, but the memories ve on. Memories that for some cannot be expressed in a thousand words. So, the Bethanian decided to express those memories for you — through pictures ' Homecoming fun. The weekend festivities kicked ff by greeting alumni and students with comedian
Gilbert Gottfried. Alpha Xi Delta senior Laura Haught was crowned Homecoming queen. She reigned over the weekend's festivities, and, along with students, alumni, faculty and staff, danced iway to the sounds of "1964: As the Beatles" at the ollege's annual Homecoming dance. Homecoming 93 came to an end as alumni said their good-byes, iieir souls filled with fond memories of a good time. Until next year...

Cho brought humor to campus
Margaret Cho brought to Bethany a fresh, humorous outlook of her Korean heritage and her experiences growing up Asian in America.
Cho had appeared on such programs as "The Dennis Miller Show" and "An Evening at the Improv." She also had been a frequent face on MTV andVH-1.
But, Cho hasn't focused her talents strictly on comedy. Cho had performed on a Bob Hope special, an Eddie Murphy production called "Move the Crowd" and an episode of "The Golden Palace." {by John Bow- ers)

Parking regs, fines revised for students
The director of Safety and Security presented a proposal to the college dealing with changes in parking regulations and fines that would benefit the campus community.
The proposal, drafted by Michael Dixon, was presented to Joe Kurey, vice president for finance and treasurer; John Cunningham, vice president for student affairs and dean of students; and Greg Krikorian, assistant dean of students. It was ap- proved because they believed the changes would benefit drivers, security and the college.
Because of the changes, parking ticket fines were reduced by 50 percent. Cunningham said that the purpose of tickets was not to make money, but to keep passages and fire lanes open for safety purposes.
Security continued to enforce the 1 5 mph speed limit throughout campus and used discretion in stopping speeders.
Another change was the addition of a traffic court. The court will give violators the opportu- nity to present their side of the story concerning their parking tickets. A representative from stu- dent court and a representative from the dean of students office will hear grievances.
In the past, parking ticket fines were added to a student's financial account if not paid to the
Dean of Students Office. In Dixon's proposal no tickets would be added to student accounts, if the fine was not paid, the fine was doubled, with the offender possibly losing his or her driving privileges on campus, (by Stephanie Cooke)

Town council concerned about Beta house plans
The community neighboring the proposed Beta Theta Pi house on the corner of Richardson and Church streets voiced concerns against the building at the Novem- ber town council. Issues discussed included sanitation, traffic, public disorder and lack of communica- tion v^ith Beta's future neighbors.
Mark MacWilUams, assistant pro- fessor of religious studies and rep- resentative of the neighboring com- munity, presented the council with a petition signed by all of the adja- cent property owners, except one, which called for postponement of the building permit until the community's concerns were ad- dressed.
"We are concerned about traffic congestion and the safety of our children from speeding vehicles," MacWilliams said. "We are also concerned about public drunken- ness and trash collecting every- where."
MacWilliams said he was con- tacted by John U. Davis, Beta ad- viser, and told that the plans for the building would not be shared with the neighboring community until the building permit was approved.
"The Betas I know are real good kids," MacWilliams said. "I'm not against them having a house. But the fraternity refuses to listen to the concerns of their future neighbors. They're communicating to us that they don't care what we think."
In response, Davis said he was unaware of the petition and wished the community would have come to the Beta organization instead of acting without their knowledge. He also said that he was unaware of the details of the building so it is impos-
18
sible for him to share information he does not possess.
"This is about the kids," Davis said. "They're here to grow and it's our job to help them.' (by Doug Mock)

Questions raised in ^Baby Dance'
"The Baby Dance,"a dramatic play by Jane Ander- son, was directed by Tim Thompson, visiting assis- tant professor of Fine Arts. Students who partici- pated in the performance were seniors Leigh Ann Jolinson as Rachel and Michael Hynes as Al, junior Todd Prather as Ron, sophomore Jason Ruta as Richard and freshman Jody Handley as Wanda.
This play centered around Wanda and Al, resi- dents of a trailer park in Louisiana, who were expecting their fifth child. The couple was not financially sound and decided to sell the unborn child to another couple. This wealthy California couple agreed to pay for all of the woman's pre- natal care and hospital expenses. A debate arose when it was revealed that the child might be born with a physical defect. The rest of the play created a dramatic situation in which both couples struggled to decide what to do with the newborn, {by Robin Lanieivski)

struck Whipple was how energetic, eager and in- volved the faculty were re- garding the college.
"The faculty live their profession, not just prac- tice it," Whipple said.
Whipple hopes to do some teaching after his first semester because the idea of sitting behind a desk all of the time with stacks of paper in front of him does not sound appealing, (hy Rachel Wagner)

Blizzard '94 sets records
What could possibly be worse than BUzzard '93? ow about BUzzard '94? As schools, roads and air- Drts closed, garbage pick-up, buses and newspaper eliveries were delayed or halted all together. The alley experienced record-setting cold temperatures id snow accumulation over a three-week period.
Just how cold was it? Cold enough for Bethany ollege to suspend classes and close offices, something ,'e know doesn't happen often. In the area, tempera- jres fell below the zero mark seven times since the ew year, with Jan. 19 bringing the coldest weather ver for that date with a 22 below zero temperature.
The first major storm dumped 18 inches of snow in an 11 -hour period. Another four inches fell between storms and the second major storm contributed 10 more inches — a total of 32 inches of snow in some areas.
Across the nation, the blizzards claimed 69 lives. Winds blew up to 90 m.p.h. and drifts were measured at 30 feet in some rural areas. "Digging out" actually took weeks.

Cabaret is *an hour and a half of laughs
Bethany chapter of Alpha Psi Omega, the Fine Arts honorary, presented its annual Cabaret spoofing satirizing every aspect of Bethany life. Although they were hard on themselves, the cast was especially pr of the audience's response to two skits, "King John and the Court of Logan" and the Phallusist and the Femii an exchange between two Bethany English teachers.
The crew said they were equal opportunity offenders, and they wanted people to enjoy the show.
"This is a fun show,"said Gary Kappel, adviser to the honorary. "There's not a whole lot of pressure — it's like a main (theatre) production."
Along with Kappel, seniors Leigh Johnson, Emily Vulgamore, Jen Heider, Steve Kyhos, Steve Barbour, Bryan Moss and Karrie Colvin, juniors Mia DeStef ano, Jon Vogel, Todd Prather, Jessie O'Neill and Dave Chambers; and freshman Eric Armstrong provided the laughs.
As the lights went down and people left Maxwell's, just about everyone had a smile on their face. Kappel hoped the audience had "an hour and a half of laughs." It looks like his wish came true. (by Frank Benach)

Enrollment drops five percent
Spring enrollment was 686 students, down five percent from fall semester's enrollment of 722.
John C. Giesmann, registrar, said when President D. Duane Cummins addressed the faculty he esti- nated a seven percent attrition rate for spring se- nester. Giesmann was not overly concerned with he drop from fall to spring semester.
"There have been years where (the decrease) has 3een at seven percent," Giesmann said.
Gary Forney, vice president for enrollment man- igement, said he was looking forward to the 1994 'all semester because a key reason for last fall's low enrollment figure was because the freshman class A^as relatively small, (hy Rachael Sims)
Committee sponsors contest
In honor of Black History Month, the college sponsored a contest that encouraged students to learn more about African- Americans and their con- tributions to the United States.
Students were asked to create a "dream team" of 10-12 African-Americans who they felt deserved recognition for their accomplishments.
"The purpose of the contest is to get students to find out more about African-Americans who have contributed to the history of the country, and to encourage them to find out about those who have made contributions not only in their own disci- plines, but across the curriculum," said Jo-Ellen Asbury, chair of the committee, (by Kelli Poole)

Keim stresses responsibility
A noted speaker on college-aged students and their lifestyles
b id students need to understand the importance of responsibil-
i' and getting involved in the community.

iJKeim said there are seven things to do to make yourself a
ccessful person — study, serve, make friends with everyone,
)p hazing, be sexually responsible, drink responsibly and
)p doing drugs.
It's OK not to have sex," Keim said. "There are three ways be sexually responsible — use a condom, use a condom, use a ndom." Keim said one of every 250 college students are rrying the HIV virus.
Keim stressed the importance of getting involved in the mmunity. He said that people do enough suffering without r help. Instead of putting someone down or hazing them, we ed to take the burden off of people's backs and try to lift them instead, (by Todd Biela)

Theatre presents ^The Three Sisters'
Bethany's theatre department performed Dav Mamet's adaptation of "The Three Sisters." The pla which starred seniors Emily Vulgamore, Jennif Heider and Jennifer Larese, was written by Anb Chekhov in 1901. It is about three sisters who long return to Moscow and live t happy life they once lived wh they were younger and their p? ents were still alive.
At the time the play was wr ten, Chekhov was very ill and w living in rural Russia. Like the ch; acters in his play, he also longed be in Moscow, where the girl loved was a professional actress "The mood of the play is v€ melancholy because everyone in t show is fighting or wanting son thing that they never get," V gamore said. "They think that they go back everything will be fl again."
Director Tim Thompson said i play is about people wasting th' talents and energy on trivial m ters, as well as the disparity l, tween language and action. He s; what you say is not always w you do and the main theme of play is estrangement, (by Kelli Pot
Honor code in the works
[he leadership council was working on constructing a college Honor Code to be included with the Judi- II Code found in the student handbook. The code will be a set of statements that serve as guidelines for : dent conduct, but focuses on academic honesty and following the lines of the student judicial code, said t/e Stoner, Student Board of Governors student concerns representative.
Stoner said the code would try to help improve student life and that the idea has been brought about because of disciplinary problems that have been arising at the college. "It will give better recourse, guidelines for students," he said.
Jean Montgomery, president of SBOG, said she thinks the code is a good idea but doesn't know how well it would work. She said it depends on how well it is written and enforced.
John S. Cunningham, vice presi- dent for student services and dean of students, said the idea of an Honor Code would be similar to the Bethany College Compact found in the student handbook. This compact discusses honesty, lifestyle and expectations of the college community, (by Brenda Stanek)

College observes Earth Day
The 24th annual Earth Day celebration kicked off iross the nation and Bethany played a role in many ays. The emphasis of Earth Day at Bethany was to get jdents to "think globally and act locally," and was in njunction with other SBOG sponsored activities. Activities for the Earth Day celebration included the ird annual Enviro-thon at WVBC, hosted by junior lura Leboeuf and senior Dave Chambers, which co- dded with the campus-wide spring clean-up. The wiro-thon donated all proceeds to a local charity. Also in observance of Earth Day, the biology honor- y, Tri-Beta, sold T-shirts printed with an environ- ental message. Earth Day at Bethany ended with a cnic and dance in Renner Too. (In/ Vanessa Statheros d Rachael Sims)

Students learn Suzuki method of acting
Many students learned an alternative to traditional theater training methods through a demonstration workshop on the Suzuki Method of Actor's Training.
The method of acting was created in the 1960s by international director and producer Tadashi Suzuki. Suzuki believes most actors are unable to handle the difficult roles of characters found in classical stage productions. His method enforces a rigorous physical training regi- men, using focal points and learning to control the body. If used, actors gain the will to take on any character and to maintain body strength for difficult and challenging roles.

Taking that creek cruise
Imagine the perfect Sunday afternoon. Does a leisurely ride down a winding creek, sitting in the sun come to mind?
Ten Bethany students enjoyed doing this as part of the regatta. All made their own crafts. The race started at Sugar Run Lodge and went two miles down Buffalo Creek.
"Everyone seemed to have fun," said freshman Kristen Thompson, president of the Outdoors Club, sponsor of the event.
Prizes through third place were awarded and also a most creative award was given. Earning first place were sophomores Jonathan Rumburg and Jay Swartzwelder. Their float consisted of three tubes covered by a piece of plywood and included a roof.
They had a few problems traveling down the creek. "We had to position ourselves on this boat so that we could paddle down the river," Rumburg said. "The boat was bigger than we thought and it caused problems."
Junior Jason Powers and freshman Rich- ard Burnett teamed up in an unusual way to capture second place. Their Styrofoam float cracked halfway through the race. This was not a problem for these two.
"We just laid across the crack in order to keep the float together and then finished the race," Burnett said.
'Hippieness' was the theme of the float created by freshmen Jennifer Klages and Christine Welshans. Plywood decorated with peace signs and graffiti on an inner- tube was their third place creation.
Senior Bryan Moss, junior Matt Zilich and sophomore Gregg Komitsky were able to grab the judge's attention with their float of eight garbage cans, an inner-tube and a platform of wood. Their "saucer" won the creativity prize even though their raft broke halfway through the race, (by Robin Laniewski)

Four sides to the same story
As a student makes the journey from freshman to senior year, their attitudes tozvard life at Betliany change. Presented are four different interpretations of the 1993-94 school year.
Still under the spell
• the freshman year
Whether I'm in my room in Phillips, eating in the caf or walking across campus, it seems like there isn't a place in Bethany that isn't a memory of my first year in college.
As a high school senior, I used to dream about what college would be like. I longed for the freedoms and responsibilities, the opportunities and challenges, the stress and the satisfaction. I'm lucky to have found all of this at Bethany.
I enjoyed many new experiences. There's nothing like setting your own curfew and defining your own limitations, while the joy of doing your first load of laundry without it shrinking is indescribable.
Getting that first high mark on a tough assignment can give you an amazing boost of confidence. Cel- ebrating can be even more fun. Making my first TOWER deadline and seeing my byline was very ful- filling. All these little joys can make a person want to forget about hav- ing to put up with other things like excessively cold or hot showers, heating problems and lack of cable television . . . maybe.
Bethany may be a small college, but it is filled with special people who care enough to appreciate oth- ers and the world around them, the little things that happen every day and especially the important new experiences in the life of a fresh- man, (by Christy Cooey)
42
The aura is gone
•the sophomore year
When I was a child I can remem- ber my parents telling me how fast the time goes the older you get. That has never been more true than my sophomore year at Bethany.
It's amazing the difference a year makes. I remember coming in as an awestruck freshman, and it seems like yesterday. I was a timid, shy, boy-in-the-back-of-the-class. Now I'm the first person to voice my opinion on a topic.
The first few months can be summed up in one word — hot. Liv- ing on the the third floor of Morlan Hall let me appreciate the damp- ness of the basement, or "dungeon," that I once called my home.
I began to get the feeling of Bethany this year. I became accus- tomed to what it takes to be success- ful on campus. As a resident assis- tant I began to see one of my strengths; helping people. This led to many friendships that will last throughout the rest of my years at Bethany and beyond.
Then there are the classes, the one thing that everyone at Bethany has in common. Yeah, I heard the rumors. They scared me. "Fresh- man beware, your grades will drop your sophomore year," I was told. Why this was, I couldn't under- stand. "This couldn't happen to me," I thought. Wrong. My grade point average dropped. Not a big drop, but it did drop. This remains a mys- tery to me.
The aura of attending college is gone but you're still not really wor- ried about graduation. You mess
around and don't concentrates much. Bad philosophy, yes. Bui feels so good when it's 8 a.m. a you roll over and hit the snooze 1 then reset the alarm for 10 a.i three mornings a week.
TOWER duty called for the fi time. I was scared but it turned ( to be a lot of fun. My first pul relations class was this semeste was scared. It turned out to be a, of fun too.
My year can be summed up| one word — change. Times < changing and so am I. I'm movi in the right direction. Sophomt year is said to be the toughest br made it through, (by Todd Biela)
I'd like to take a nap
•the junior year
Time is flying right past me. 1 one over-powering factor in my j; ior year was time, or rather h( little of it I seemed to have.
As work gets harder and com in larger quantities, I struggle make everything fit into a day a| into a week. You look at a calencj once, and by the time you see again you've lost a week.
My case may be a tad bit extra dinary though. My editor positii at The TOWER and my directc position at WVBC zapped quitr bit of my time and effort.
One finds when they reach I junior year that there is too muci do and not enough time to do i could call my junior year a stud} sleep depravation. As the work Ic gets larger, the amount of rest all ted gets smaller. I feel I haven't hi a good night's sleep since 1987. li ability to just crash, to sleep wi ! out an alarm going off, to crawl ii | bed with no worries, is behind r i
I have lost the ability to goof-( ,
ok nostalgically at my freshman |ar when I could take afternoon Ips or spend time doing nothing. [Looking ahead the prospect for it does not seem good. Soon I will e my senior year. This won't be a [riod of rest. I will be doing a nior project, studying for comps. Ivon't be napping, j Lounging around watching TV? prget about it. Staring blankly at e walls? A distant memory. Get- ig laundry done ahead of time? '^e learned to re-evaluate the mean- g of the word 'dirty.'
And what about the future? Will I ever feel like I once did or will 1 forever have more red than white in my eyes when I look in the mirror? The future looks bleak, but I'll do my best to blast into it with reckless abandon, promising myself that 1 will one day reach the "big sleep." (by James Walker)
Pinnacle of wisdom
• the senior year
Here I am. The pinnacle of wis- dom. I'm afraid that learning, like laundry, is never done. As a fresh-
Four sides to the same story. Reflecting on the academic year are James Walker, Todd Biela, Julie Payne and Christy Cooey. (by Kelli Poole)
man 1 was missing Toledo, Ohio, drinking Tang and reflecting with Barry Manilow. Now 1 am re-estab- lishing in South Carolina and drink- ing more than Tang. And Barry? Some things never change.
What will 1 miss? The fun, the eventful and the everyday. It may seem routine to walk to the caf, to fester in the lounge, to hear the click of computer keys, to study on the lawn of Old Main. But some of these things make life, well, Bethany.
And what about the bells in the tower, Saturday mornings in base- ball caps and sweats, chapter, the porch of the Campbell Mansion, late night conversations that come out of nowhere, the closing songs at Bubba's, Cardiac.
And the people. The laughs of Tony Mitch, Jerry Fuqua and John Taylor (especially when he laughs at himself), Tracy Maurer's sense of humor, Debbie Kessler's lectures on Frida Kahlo, Stanley Becker's inten- sity, Robert Myers' kindness, Jon Gordon's jokes, Lana Hartman Landon's "last day of class picture."
So what advice do I have? Cher- ish what makes Bethany unique. Be supportive. Say thanks, a lot. Don't criticize people for sticking to the rules, it's their job. Respect your elders, and Bethany tradition. Chuckle at the uniqueness of people you don't understand, and let them expand your perceptions instead of limit them.
Play. Study. Do both in modera- tion. Challenge. Question. Think. Accept nothing at face value. You are only one of the many that will pass through the Oglebay Gates, so savor every second while you can.
And have a glass of Tang, (by Julie Payne)

And let us not forget the people who are responsible for changing our lives and instilling in us a thirst for knowledge. The faculty and staff of Bethany College are an ultra-important part of campus life. Bethany just would not be Bethany without them. They not only teach the courses and run the college, but also support students in many other ways.
In addition to teaching and grading, many choose to advise clubs and groups, attend events organized and run by students, and become friends with the many students they have contact with. The end of the year, with graduation looming, brings a sense of accom- plishment.
Together they have brought Bethany students through another year. Hopefully, we won't forget them.

Student Life
'\c
atudents dream of the day they will graduate. But they also dream of not having to deal with the nightmare of classes, homework and other responsibilities that come in all shapes and sizes to college stu- dents. Many daydream about the ^ fun that takes place outside of the ' "SK classroom, the library or the com- puter lab. Half of the fun of being a college student is participating in life outside the hallowed halls, having a good time with friends, enjoying "student" life.

In the
great
outdoors
Established in the spring of 1992, the Outdoors Club is one of the newer clubs on campus. Its founder, senior Allegra Smith, decided Bethany students needed some activity to help build their self-confidence. Ex- ploring the outdoors. Smith believed, was a way to ac- complish this goal.
And freshman Kristen Thompson, now president of the club, agrees. "The one thing I've learned the most is 'just do it.' When you're in a plane and the instructor tells you to put your feet out and jump when you're ready, you don't really have much choice," she said. "Sure it's scary, but it's built my self-confidence. If I can jump from an airplane and live to tell about it, daily life situations can' t be that diffi- cult."
By offering physical challenges, the club provides students with the chance to test and go beyond their limits with positive results. Fresh- man biology major Margaret Armstrong has discovered these benefits.
"The Outdoors Club is a great opportunity to find yourself in an adventurous setting," she said. "It provides the means for adventures, and it's a great way to meet other exciting people. I have been inspired by instructors who have encour-

aged me to go out and find my interests to further help me in the pursuit of my major. It's also a good way to get exercise."
Thompson and senior Eric Strommer coordinate all the activi- ties. "It's basically our responsibil- ity to arrange trips with the group through certain companies that handle these types of adventures," Thompson said. "We have to ar- range for van availability and for food from Aladdin. We also need to keep track of who's going to which
events and schedule and public meetings.
The most popular event is ' skydiving expeditions that ts place each semester. Other actil ties include a mountain bike raf camping and Whitewater raftii trips.

Live from Bethany
—it's Wednesday Night
Wednesday Night Live certainly has evolved since it started. Previ- ously called Bethany Christian Fel- lowship and Midweek, it became Wednesday Night Live in 1991 when Mindy Fetherman, assistant chaplain, and several Midweek stu- dents changed the name in order to provide a more upbeat atmosphere.
WNL provides for the spiritual needs of students. Members encour- age students to live out their faith in all areas of their lives.

Freshman Lisa Hicks enjoys hav- ing the support of a Christian foun- dation. "Wednesday Night Live ful- fills niy need for a fellowship sup- port group for people who share the same beliefs," she said.
During nieetings, members sing, discuss Christian topics and inter- act in a spiritual setting.
Freshman Kristen Thompson, social coordinator for WNL, helps arrange activities that are inexpen- sive so all students can participate.
"It's important that everyone re- alize they are welcome," she said. "One of our goals is not to become
exclusive and make sure all f welcome. It's not just fundameni strictly religious discussions. It'si portant to do something creab and unique in the company of i low Christians."
Members enjoy activities inch ing movie nights at Pendlet Heights and birthday celebratio
"One of the really fun things do is celebrate members' birthday Thompson said. "They get to p the restaurant, and we all go out dinner after the meeting. It's rea fun."
In addition to retreats and can ing excursions, 22 members tended the Jubilee conference^ Pittsburgh in February. They w |e able to meet with other college s - dents who were actively invoh 1 in Christian campus activities. !/ Kara Schultz)

"By working on The TOWER, the ;gest thing I gained was experi- ce," said sophomore Ross ?renda, fall semester advertising nager. "I applied what I learned.
met deadlines and learned to work with others. Everyone does their own part, individuals work as a team to make the medium the best it can be."
The staff produced 25 issues this year, including a special April Fools Day issue filled with stories poking fun at the staff and the college.
"The editorial staff just cut loose and were as crazy as they wanted to be, "said junior James Walker, spring semester editor in chief. "It was a great opportunity to have a little fun with the administration and the people that make up Bethany."
The TOWER is delivered all over campus, hot off the press, on Friday mornings. Students rush to read the latest campus news.
"Seeing the paper on Friday gives the members of the staff self-satis-
faction, to see all the work they put into it pay off," said junior Stephanie Cooke, fall semester editor in chief. "1 gained a lot of writing experience and time management skills by working on The TOWER."
Communication majors partici- pate as staff members to gain expe- rience in the field. However, others are involved with the paper to ful- fill personal enjoyment by support- ing the campus media.
"1 enjoy finding out the facts about what's happening on cam- pus," said junior Steve Colon, a re- ligious studies major and spring se- mester features editor. "Students need to realize that the paper be- longs to all students, not just comm majors." (by Sarah Clark)

Men's Soccer
Bhe men's soccer team com- pleteci another successful year with a record of 15-4-1, and won their 15th consecu- tive PAC title.The team con- tinued a 13-year winning tradition by having fewer than five losses. The Bison finished 25th in NCAA Division III ranking, but did not make the NCAA playoffs for the first time since 1983.
Finishing the season on a strong note was not a surprise for the quick, skillful team behind the strong lead- ership of co-captains Craig Hogan and Jake Williams.
Williams, a junior, earned the PAC Most Valuable Player Award and a spot on the All-PAC First Team. Williams tallied 15 goals in the 20-game season and dished out four assists for a conference high 34 points.
Joining Williams on the first team were junior Brad Foringer and
sophomores David Gross, Frankie Taal, Shon Meale, Walter Gonzalez, Pat Ricci and Malleh Sallah.
Sallah allowed only 21 goals in the 17 games in which he guarded the net. He recorded 97 saves for a goal-against average of 1.16 per game.
Earning honors on the All-PAC Second Team were juniors Dave Farmer and Darryl Steward. Coach John Cunningham earned the honor of being named PAC Coach of the Year for the ninth consecutive year.
Named to the Division 111 All- South Region Second Team were Sallah, Gonzales and Williams.
Additionally, Gonzalez was named the team's most valuable player and Taal received the Lance Tacke Award, presented to the out- standing first-year player, (by Laura Hammett)

Bhe women's soccer program celebrated its third consecu- tive Presidents' Athletic Conference title but fell just short of reaching the .500 mark with a record of 8-9-1.
The team's strong group of re- turning letterwinners worked hard throughout the season to bring the talented freshmen into the game plan. The intense concentration on teamwork paid off for many indi- viduals at the end of the season.
In addition to receiving the team's most valuable player award, sopho- more Missy Miller was honored with the conference's Most Valu- able Player Award. She was addi- tionally named to the All-PAC First Team for a second year.
Juniors Chris Castor, co-captain, and Holly Brown joined Miller on the All-Conference team. Earning positions on the second team were senior co-captain Tasha Moritz, jun- ior Marci Jackley, sophomore

Cross Country
Dfter getting off to a late start, the cross country teams made a good showing. Both the men's and women's teams had talented fresh- men, as well as strong returning runners. Coach John McGowan took over the head coaching position this year and quickly realized the only thing that could hold back the team would be experience.
The only home meet of the sea- son came when the team was at its best — the Presidents' Athletic Con- ference Chanipionship meet. The team finished third of four schools. Though several runners stood out through the season, two were hon-
ored for their efforts at the PAC meet.
Freshman Shawn Brown placed 10th during the meet to earn a posi- tion on the All-Conference Second Team. Senior Amber Parsons, who was the team's leading runner, copped a sixth place finish and also a place on the All-PAC Second Team.
Parsons and freshman Joe Martin were voted the team's most valu- able runners. The Coach's Award went to sophomores Emily Schoenfeldt and Curtis Wadsworth. (by Laura Hanimett)

Bhe volleyball team used the 1993 season as a time for adjusting and rebuilding. The team used new recruits and veteran players to fill the gaps left empty by players v^ho graduated. Their final record of 5- 31 was disappointing and the Bison finished fourth with a record of 2-6 in the PAC.
The freshmen of the team saw a lot of playing time throughout the season, promising success for the Bison of the future. The rookies con- tinued to learn more each match from strong veteran players, includ- ing the dynamic duo of senior co- captains Heather Truitt and Jennifer Haggerty.
Another major obstacle that stood in the Bison's way was the number of injuries to members of the squad. With injuries to veteran players, many new players were forced to
take over roles that they may not have been prepared for.
In honor of their hard work, sophomore Leigh Henderson earned a spot on the All-PAC First Team and Haggerty earned a spot on the All-PAC Second Team. Henderson had 228 kills in 95 games for an average of 2.4 per game. Fresh- man Liz Broughton and Truitt re- ceived honorable mention honors.
Truitt and Haggerty were named the team's most valuable players, while Truitt was named the best offensive player and Haggerty was named the best defensive player.
Junior Michelle McGlinchey was named the most improved player and Broughton was named the rookie of the year, (by Laura Hammett)

Football
Bew coaches, positive atti- tudes and a change in phi- losophy made for a promis- ing season for the Bison. Coach Steve Campos had plenty of talent to work with, as the Bison returned 19 letterwinners, in- cluding seven 1992 AIl-PAC per- formers. A new era was set as the Bison posted a record of 4-4-1. It was the first time since 1981 that the Bison finished with a .500 record.
Bison fans saw a lot of passing from the team as they utilized the talents of their skilled wide receiv- ers and tight ends. Junior quarter- back Dan Takah took the starting job after two years of playing backup.
Takah was named the offensive player of the year in the PAC, lead- ing the conference in total yardage with 2,171 yards. He ranked 13th in NCAA Division 111 in total offense. He also was named the team's of- fensive most valuable player.
Sophomore tight enci Buddy Mc- Kinley tied a Bethany single season record with 68 receptions. He joined Takah on the PAC First Team, lead- ing the conference in receptions, yards receiving and yards per game. McKinley averaged 7.5 receptions per game giving him a sixth place national ranking. He also received the team's Coach's Award.
Sophomore defensive back Shedrick Young was also selected to the PAC First Team. He led the Bison with four interceptions for 53 yards and recorded 57 tackles on the season, including 21 solo ef- forts.

Men's Basketball
Bhe men's basketball team finished the season with a disappointing record of 6- 17 overall and 1-7 in the Presidents' Athletic Con- ference. Under the guidance of first-year head coach Ted Eskildsen, the Bison had trouble beconiing consistent performers, hijuries and a lack of fan support slowed the Bison's progress and success dviring the season.
Individual accomplishments outweighed team success as junior center Joe Childress earned first team All-PAC honors. Childress led the conference in field goal percentage with 58.1 percent. In addition, the junior was sixth in the PAC in scoring with 15.6 points per game. Childress was also eighth in the conference in rebounding, pulling down 6.2 boards per game.
Leading the conference in assists was sophomore Jon Blackmon. Blackmon also led the Bison in steals, averaging 1.6 per game. Another contribution Blackmon made to the team was his ability from behind the three- point line, shooting 41.6 percent.
Freshman guard Kevin Kozup earned a spot on the second team All-PAC by finishing fifth in the conference in scoring, averaging 16.3 points per game. Kozup was also ranked as the sixth best three- point scorer in NCAA Division III.
One of the most frustrating points of the season was the loss of sophomore Phil Hall to an ankle injury. At the time of his injury. Hall was averaging 16.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. His absence under the basket was a crippling blow to the Bison, (by Laura Hanimett)

Junior Laurelyn Rawson twice bested the school record for the
50-yard freestyle with times of 26.51 and 26.35. The previous record for the event was set in 1990 with a time of 26.63. Rawson achieved personal bests in each of her events in the PAC Champion- ship.

Bison Softball once again dominated the Presidents' Athletic Conference. This season the team stampeded their way to a perfect 8-0 conference record and a 20-4 record overall.
Not only did the Bison take home the PAC title, the team led the conference in batting average, pitching, fielding, slugging per- centage, scoring and home runs.
Individual Bison standouts swept many post-season awards as well. Senior first base player Nicole Mazur earned the conference's Most Valuable Player award while leading the Bison in slugging percentage and home
runs. Mazur also was named to the NCAA Division 111 Central Region first team, making her eligible for Ail-American honors.

Dreams '94
Bespite the things that caused us to complain this year — those night- mares of our daily lives — many rewarding memories, those things we will dream about for years to come, will be cherished forever. Graduation provided us with a sentimental look at another year. Classes and homework were all but forgotten, and many friends were moving on to new begin- nings. Memories from the year will make us laugh and cry as we remember the good and the frus- trating, all becoming a part of our
dreams.
