CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY-THE PHOENIX-1989
■ mt
What makes Cumberland special? We the people: the students, the faculty, the ^staff, working together to educate all those willing to learn.
We, as students, are unique. Whether we be working adults or teenagers, Ameri- can or foreign, male or female, we are all trying to achieve the same goal, to
^;ontinue our education.
H Cumberland's welcome mat is always waiting for fresh,new feet to comfort. Your age, your size, or your color doesn't matter. Cumberland is home to anyone who decides to become a part of the school's present and future.
The differences in Cxmaberland's "family" are large in number. "No two people are alike' as the saying goes, and this is also true about Cumberland. The institu- tion thrives on the different personalities and traits each person holds.
K When we look back on our college years, we will be able to remember all of those
^people who made Cumberland that special place. Each individual will have his own memories to cherish. Now, as well as then, we will be able to see. that "We The JPeople" are the star that makes Cumberland University Shine.

ORIENTATION
A very important activity at every college is orientation. At Cumberland, this is one of the more hectic weeks of the entire year. Freshmen and transfer students were put to the test with various meetings; ones concerning helpful hints, clubs, and majors. Entertainment and leisure was also on the agenda with movies, lawn games, board games, and a shopping trip. The orientation week was highlighted with a "School is a Beach" dance. While there, Rhonda Gate captured the Limbo crown. The Student Council gave away a microwave to the drawing winner, Tammy ^jB^isice. :Aa the week of excitement settled down, everyone began ;IM'e5pa|in;g; their minds (and bodies) for classes to begin.

REGISTRATION
— Jyou know you're in college after you've suffered through the ordeal of registration. Long lines, tons of paperwork, and the signing of checks are some of the characteristics of the dreaded college beginning. The first task of registration involved filling out a biographical questionnaire and checking in with admission counselors. Smiles were needed to continue, as I.D.'s arid yearbook pictures were taken. Preregistering for fall semester classes and still more paperwork kept the scholars active. Final approval of classes was needed to gain permission to progress to the business facet of registration. Many emotions were observed when the accounts were tallied; some students were elated with the "free ride" they received, while others cringed as they signed personal checks to pay for their education. The registration battle was finally conquered with much comfort and relief.

- VISE
LIBRARY
The prestigious historj^ and academic tradition of Cumberland University has another date to enter into its history- books. A long awaited project at Cumberland is now under way, as the formal groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Doris and Harry Vise Library were held on Monday, September 26. 1988.
The vision of so many dedicated people over the past 28 years is-now becoming reality. Many dignitaries were present for this momentous occasion, including representatives of state and city government, members of the Board of Trust, and student representatives.
Cumberland University President Walker Buckalew began the ceremonies under a sparkling autumn sun. The sun shone down on this occasion as if to put the ceremonies into the spotlight and emphasize that Cumberland is now becoming an even greater beacon of education with the construction of the new library.
Though no band performed and the crowd did not roar, the excitement' of this occasion cannot be overestimated. Dr. Buckalew began by saying, "Our ceremony will be brief, but our celebration will go on for a long time." The construction of this 18,000 square foot facility is certainly something to celebrate.
Construction of the new library will cost in excess of 1 million dollars. It will be built adjacent to and just north of Memorial Hall. This is the first rnajor building project initiated by the university since the late 1960s. While the building has been designed to complement the architectural style of Memorial Hall, the new lib^H is a modern facility which will house more than 100,000 volumes. WM
Dr. Robert Bone, chairman of the Board of Trust, compared the gathering ^^ family awaiting the birth of a child. He said the ceremony was a birth and the proud parents were present, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Vise, after whom the librarv is named.
Mr. Vise, chairman and chief executive of Texas Boot Company in Lebanon, was featured as the main speaker for the ceremony. He began by" saying, "Unless the Lord builds the house, those that build it labor in vain. We ask for Gods blessing."
Vise was elected a trustee of Cumberland in 1961 and has been one of the most active workers of the Board. He has aided materially in the various drives seeking financial support for the institution. Vise is a native of Germany and he was educated in the public schools there, and he graduated from the' OvmnasiiuM which is equivalent to a U.S. college. B|
•'It is my desire that when the new library is completed in nine months, it ^ stand in Lebanon as a house of learning for all people for many years to come," Vise said. Mr, Vise's wishes are in the process of coming true, as Cumberland Univei^ta is rising to new heights and meeting the challenges of the future, while makinf^^ already great tradition even greater.
GROUND BREAKING
SLAVE AUCTION
The Cumberland Cheerleaders held one of the most unique activi- ties during the year. They decided to have a slave auction to raise some very needed money. Twenty-five men and twenty-five women were sold to the "highest bidder" on the person. The amounts ranged from $1 to $50. The slaves had to put in one "hard day's work" for their master. The auction was very successful and the cheerleaders raised $215.

MARK TWAIN
ON TOUR
On Thursday, October 6, the Student Council sponsored a show entitled "Mark Twain on Tour". Ken Richters appeared as Mr. Twain through an arrangement with the International Production Company. Mr. Richters acts out the part of Mark Twain as he would appear if he himself were alive. He kept the audience on the edge of their seats and sent them rolling out the door with laughter.

Iport of bowling. Students made their way to the lanes as their main goal was to keep their bowling ball away from the gutter. The scholars pranced around in their colorful shoes, stomped the floor over a gutter ball, and jumped for joy over a "strike" or a "spare". Scores were compared as each person tried to reach the perfect 300. The pight quickly "rolled away" and became one of memory.
HAYRIDE AND BONFIRE
Tuesday night of Fall Frolic brought a Hayride and Bonfire. Two trucks and a wagon full of students beared the cold air to have a night of fellowship. Songs and jokes were heard during the entire trip. After returning from the hayride, the students roasted hotdogs and marshmallows over the bonfire. The night ended as the fire simmered out.
WIN LOSE
OR DRAW
The Lone Ranger would be very pleased if he had seen all the "quick drawing" during the Win, Lose, or Draw contest. Seven teams competed against each other as they played charades by drawing. Laughter and warmth was felt by the "artistic" work. When the smoke had cleared, Tom Davis, Daniel Collier, and Robbie Allen had won the final battle.
THE GREAT PUMPKIN CAPER
On October 6, the Development Office sponsored a pumpkin carving contest. A large crowd of students, faculty, and staff turned up with sev- eral ideas. The contest consisted of 3 different categories with different winners in each. Sony Sok was awarded for carving the scariest pumpkin. The funniest pumpkin be- longed to Leslie Reece and the most creative champions were Tom Davis and Lance Oldham. The contest was the first of its kind at Cumberland and was a hit among those who par- ticipated.

HALLOWEEN DANCE
October 31 was the night for freaks to make their appearance. The Cmnberland Masquerade Dance was no exception as creatures of all kinds hoogied the night away. Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz, Ronald Reagan, a mummy, a bimny rabbit, and many other characters enhanced the night with their presence. Winners of the costume con- test were given money for displaying their creativ- ity. First place went to Wendy Payne, dressed as a person taking a shower, and second place went to Dale Moles, dressed as a flashy lady.
HOMECOMING 1989

Homecoming '89 was one that will always be remembered. On Monday night of Homecoming week, a bonfire was on the agen- da. Tuesday night Doug Berky, a professional mime, was the highlight of Comedy Night. Wednesday brought 2 movies, "Wall Street" and "3 Men and a Baby". "Outburst" and "Se- crets" were games for Game Night on Thursday. On Friday Night, a trip to Ice Centennial kept everyone busy. Saturday was the big day. With the theme "Waiting For A Star To Fall", the Cumberland Basketball teams played Belmont College. The Lady Bulldogs captured a victory in overtime, 77-76, while the men were defeated by 96-93. The crowning of the queen was the highlight of the night. Ms. Dawn Brawner was voted Homecom- ing Queen with Mary Beth Oldham as 1st runner-up and Bever- ly Burton as 2nd runner-up. The night ended with a Homecom- ing dance, deejayed by Mad Dog.

STUDENT
The Student Council at Cumberland is our student government. They are the link between the students and the faculty, staff, and administration. The coun- cil is made up of three officers, three commuter sena- tors, three resident senators, and two IPCs. The offi- cers are elected during the spring semester, and the senators are elected during the fall semester. The IPCs are non-voting members of the council. They represent the student population to the council and they represent the council to the Internal Planning Committee. Some of the activities that the council has sponsored are movie nights, the hayride and bon- fire, Homecoming, movie and mocktails, dances, ori- entation, Christmas at Cumberland, Mark Twain, and Jumprope for heart.

ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA
Alpha Lambda Delta is a national society which honors aca- demic excellence during a student's first year in college. Its purpose is to encourage superior scholastic achievement among first year students, to promote intelligent living and a contin- ued high standard of learning and to assist women and men in recognizing and developing meaningful goals for their future roles in society.
Once initiated, the student becomes a lifetime member of Al- pha Lambda Delta. Members may remain active in the chapter throughout college. Officers are elected to serve during their Sophomore year.
The Cumberland University chapter of the Alpha Lambda Delta Organization is directed toward those students who have maintained a 3.5 or better grade point average during their first semester in college. The most important attributes of Alpha Lambda Delta are the values which it upholds: a search for the truth, the burning flame of knowledge, and a strong base of honor.

BAPTIST STUDENT UNION
The Baptist Student Union is a Christian organization for everyone. The group is not just for Baptists, but is a non-denomina- tional organization. The BSU meets every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. in the newly do- nated BSU house. We have guest speakers, singers, and encouraging words from our fellow members.
BSU is three things in one — a fellowship of students, a program for students, and an organization involving students. BSU seeks to involve students in both an inward journey of Christian growth and an out- ward journey of witness and ministry to others.
BSU is a place for anyone who enjoys shar- ing, love, and true Christian fellowship.

The Cumberland Collegian returned to cam- pus this year. With the assistance of Dr. Mar- tha Bone and Mrs. Bonnie Daniel, the staff was able to keep the Collegian alive. The staff I had to work with this year was one of the best. Sometimes we pushed the deadline back, but we always got the paper out. Thanks for all the help and support we re- ceived over the past year. Remember, with- out a public a paper is worthless — so thanks for reading the Collegian.

MOVIE CLUB
It's Tuesday night, you were on campus, your homework was finished and you were bored. What can you do? There was a solution to the age-old problem of boredom. A new club was formed which allaviated some of the boredom of Tuesday nights. The Movie Club met every Tues- day night at 8:55 pm in the dorm parking lot and headed over to the Martin Triple Cinema.
The Officers of the club were Lance "Red" Roy — President, Daniel Collier — Vice-President, Jean Marie Smart — Secretary, and Angelia Massey — Treasurer.
The club usually went to see Comedies, but watched whatever was playing. At press they had seen The Naked Gun. Fresh Horses. Hot to Trot. Rattle And Hum. Scrooged. Accused, and High Spirits.

Served with great distinction on the Cumberland University faculty from 1972 until his retirement in May 1988. Shared his exceptional talent and love of music with many students and the community in a meaningful way.
THANK YOU
Led the 1987-88 Cumberland Baseball team in bringing home the District 24 title and winning the Area 5 Tournament,
earning a spot on the 10-team NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.
Brought great esteem to the University through the many honors achieved by his players.
His example and influence have made a vital difference to his players, to Cumberland students, to his associates, and to
the community during his years at Cumberland University.
SONY SOK
PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
Sony Sok was born in Cambodia but because of the war and economic conditions he and his family had to leave the country. They came to the United States and finally ended up living in Nashville, Tennessee. Sony graduated from Hillsboro High School.
He was working at the YMCA in Nashville and met Dr. Patton who was the Director of Admissions for Cumber- land at that time and he told Sony about Cumberland and the rest is history.
Sony, a sophomore, is a big man on campus — he is involved in almost everything. He is the manager of the soccer team, a Student Council Senator, on the annual staff, a member of the President's Association of Students, tutors in math, and can usually be seen at all the school's activities.
A very special event will be taking place in Sony's life in May when he will become a citizen of the United States of America.
Congratxilations Sony. We are very proud of you.

CANDY BLANKENSHIP
CANDY COMES TO CUMBERLAND
The prestigious history of Cumberland University and the reputation the Education Department has for turning out good teachers were two of the reasons Candy Blanken- ship chose to transfer to Cumberland after she finished at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, Tennessee.
Candy is pleased she made the decision to come to Cumberland. Even though she does not live in the dorm but commutes from her home in Gallatin daily Cindy feels very much a part of the campus life. She is happy about all the new friends she has and she enjoys the small school atmosphere where students are . le to participate in so many activities. She is thrilled at being a charter member of Sigma Delta Sigma, the new sorority on campus.
If you know Candy at all one of the things you notice first is her vivacious personal- ity and second you notice how many different sweaters she has in her wardrobe. When asked about the sweaters she quickly tells you she hopes to teach first grade one day and she collects these colorful sweaters because little children will love to see them when she is a teacher.
This girl could be a future "Teacher of the Year."!!

CHARLES McCOMIC
A GREAT DAY'S COMING
Charles McComic never dreamed he would be graduating from college, but on May 6, 1989 he will receive his Bachelor of Business Administra- tion Degree from Cumberland University with his wife and children and many friends in the audience proudly watching him.
He has been working at United Technologies' Harding Machine Compa- ny in Lexington, Tennessee for thirty years, ever since he graduated from high school, and he has been in the Tennessee National Guard for over twenty seven years and is now a Major.
Thanks to a big push from the National Guard and the Working Adult Degree Program at Cumberland Charles decided to start a new life as a college student. He says he couldn't have done this without the help of his supportive wife, Judy, many of his coworkers who were willing to change schedules and work double shifts for him, and his friend and supervisor, James Williams. He also says he owes a debt of gratitude to Pet Lancaster of Cumberland's WADP for being such a help to him.
This big event in Charles' life seems to prove that if we believe it, it can :ome true.
NANCY BRADLEY
HELP MILY
■a»m«wniTW<a
Nancy' year at Cumberland University but she is also a full-time wife and mother. To say she is a busy, hard working person is really an understatement. She tried not to let her family life suffer because of her school work. She still goes to see her girls cheer at ball games but she might take homework with her. She is still active in the PTO, Girl Scouts and life a typical mother she is always chauffeuring her children from place to place.
Nancy did have to give up a few things like TV, cross stitching and sewing plus she has learned many shortcuts in cooking and housekeeping.
Nancy owes much of the success in being able to live two lives to her husband of 18 years, Roger, and her three daughters, Barbara, 17, Amanda, 12, and Cristin, 7. Her family is very proud of her and they help her all they can.
Nancy feels Cumberland was exactly what she needed — a small school where everyone has the opportunity to interact more. She feels the faculty is the best ever and they are never too busy to talk to the students and help them. She was also impressed with the way her younger classmates have accepted her and made her feel coinfortable.
Nancy Bradly: A Superwoman!

MIRA JANE BORDERS
IN MY OWN
LITTLE CORNER
If you need to find Mira Jane Borders during the week you might discover her in her hideaway, Mitchell Library. She seems to study best when she is curled up in a chair in her own little corner of the world in the back of the library.
Mira Jane is from Gallatin, Tennessee and chose to attend Cumberland mainly because it was close to home and she could go home on weekends.
This Freshman has a 4.0 GPA and is involved in many activities on Cumberland's campus. She is a cheerleader, a member of the Baptist Student Union and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and was a member of this year's Homecoming Court. She is also on the Tennis Team and she says she enjoys the comradery the team members share.
This is a very special young lady and Cumberland University is glad she chose to come our way.

ANTHONY DILLIGARD
LOCAL BOY
MAKES GOOD
Anthony Dilligard grew up in Lebanon and went to Lebanon High School where he played basketball for four years. He went to Middle Tennessee State University for his freshman year in col- lege but then decided he wanted to play ball for his hometown college. The Bulldogs are glad he made that decision since Antho- ny is one of the leading scorers for the team.
Anthony's mother and sister can be found in the stands cheering him on at almost all the games. Basketball is very big in his family. He and his mother attend many Lebanon High ball games to see his sister play.
Anthony works at Coaches Amoco station on weekends during the ball season and works about 20 to 25 hours the rest of the year but he keeps his grades up too. He is a business major with an emphasis on computer information systems.
This local boy could really go far. Good Luck!

DEAN JACK HOWARD
A
LEGEND
IN HIS
OWN TIME
Almost every school has a teacher who has been there so long that they have become a tradition. Cumberland University is no exception — we have Dean Jack Howard who has been teaching math here for thirty years. He also was the Academic Dean and in charge of financial aid for many years.
Several years ago Cumberland's Board of Trust honored Jack Howard by making him Academic Dean, Emeritus. All who know Dean Howard know of his dedication to the students and the hours he gives to the students who have asked for special help.
Dean Howard grew up almost in the shadow of Memorial Hall and he still lives in the same house with his mother, Mrs. Freda Howard. The Howard family has been connected with the Cum- berland family for so many years it is hard to separate the two.
Dean Howard — A friend to students!

IMOGENE AHLES
BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A GREAT WOMAN
Mrs. Imogene Ahles has really been the woman behind the President of Cumberland for many years. She graduated from Cumberland and stayed on to become the President's secretary. She is now the Administrative Assistant to Dr. M. Walker Buckalew.
Presidents have come and gone but they all knew what they had in Mrs. Ahles — a woman who loved Cumberland and who had the ability to run a busy office in a very efficient way.
Mrs. Ahles' dedication to Cumberland is appreciated by everyone connected with Cumberland, the Board, the Ad- ministrators, the Faculty, the Staff, and the Students.
Imogene and her husband, Judge Rodney Ahles are very active in their church, the First Presbyterian Church of Leb- anon, and they have worked in some special ministeries there including a puppet ministry. She is very active in community activities and has been a member of the Business and Profes- sional Women's Club for many years.
Thanks, Mrs. Ahles for all you have done for Cumberland.
