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.

Year  in  Review 


Bhe  weather  made  this  year 
a  nightmare  beyond 
anyone's  imagination. 
While  Mother  Nature  teased  us 
with  a  few  nice  days  here  and 
there,  most  were  the  worst  on 
record.  Bad  weather  caused  the

'jf^   X^^'-^   "  JS-^    days  to  seem  hke  weeks  and  the 


weeks  to  feel  like  months.  Ice, 
wind,  snow  and  cold  temperatures 
caused  problems  this  campus 
rarely  has  seen,  including  a  dras- 
tic loss  of  electricity,  incredible 
flooding,  ice-over-ice  on  the  roads 
and  the  worst  nightmare  of  all — 
cancelled  classes.  Yea,  right! 


August  &  September 


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

of  the  caf  shouldn't  be  for  smokers." 

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.

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.

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

Red  ribbons  worn 
by  drug-free 

National  Red  Ribbon  Week 
was  celebrated  during  October 
for  those  who  would  commit  to  a 
drug-free  lifestyle. 

By  wearing  a  red  ribbon,  stu- 
dents showed  support  for  a  drug- 
free  West  Virginia  and  helped  to 
eliminate  the  demand  for  drugs. 

Greg  Krikorian,  coordinator  of 
substance  abuse  programs,  be- 
lieved that  the  status  of  substance 
abuse  at  Bethany  was  about  the 
same  as  other  institutions. 

"We  have  our  share  of  prob- 
lems," Krikorian  said,  {by  Karalee

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-

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

dejong  believes  he  and  Colcombe 
addressed  all  of  the  issues  that  con- 
cerned them. 

"Each  of  the  issues  has  been  ad- 
dressed," de  Jong  said.  "They  may  n 
necessarily  have  come  to  fruition, 
though.  But  I'm  confident  that  Steve

The  college  finally  had

vice  president  for  aca-

Lced  Richard  Bernard,

h  at  Simpson  College  in 
A^a.  Whipple  holds  a 
ctorate  in  psychology 
)m  the  University  of

;d  that  although  there 
^'  ire  a  number  of  exciting 
ngs  that  drew  him  to 
'  thany,  two  characteris- 
s  came  to  mind  immedi- 
Ay.

nse  of  community," 
nipple  said.  "As  an  out- 
ler  I  was  aware  of  that  1 0 
inutes  after  stepping  on

The  second  thing  that 


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

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. 

The  winter  of  1994  broke  many  records  for  both

Administration  stops 
condom  machine  proposal 

|,  Believe  risks  of  the  program  would  he  greater  than 
fie  gain. 

j  SBOG's  proposed  condom  machine  program  was 
jtopped  by  the  administration  because  they  be- 
lieved the  cost  and  Habihty  risks  involved  were  too 
ligh.  The  college  could  be  considered  liable  for  any 
ampering  that  might  make  a  condom  ineffective,  an 
i)fficial  said.  They  also  could  be  held  responsible  for 
my  vandalism  to  the  machines. 
j  SBOG  Vice  President  Steve  Kopcha  said  the  aim 
pf  the  program  was  to  better  meet  the  needs  of  the 
(tudents  by  promoting  safer  sex  through  easier  ac- 
cess to  condoms. 

i  John  Cunningham,  vice  president  for  student  af- 
iairs  and  dean  of  students,  advised  SBOG  against 
he  program.  He  said  that  because  of  the  possible 
egal  liabilities,  the  risks  of  the  program  would  be 

reater  than  the  gain. 

Along  with  the  liability  concerns,  Cunningham 
^aid  the  machines  would  indirectly  promote  sex  and

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,

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.

contributed  to  the  history  of  the  country,  and  to

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. 

I  Will  Keim  spoke  to  a  crowd  of  about  250  students  on  topics 

.inging  from  boredom  to  Greek  life  to  sex  and  alcohol  abuse. 

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

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-

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. 

Kelly  Maurer,  an  actress  and  instructor  in  the  Suzuki  method,  gave  a

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

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)

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)

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

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. 

"If  you're  looking  for  an  advi 
ture  and  a  way  to  challenge  yo 
self,  the  Outdoors  Club  is  the  pli' 
to  be,"  Smith  said,  (by  Kara  Schu

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-

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

"One  of  the  really  fun  things 
do  is  celebrate  members'  birthday 
Thompson  said.  "They  get  to  p

The  TOWER— every  Bethany 
liege  student's  best  reading 
nd  when  they  want  to  catch  up 
news,  sports,  entertainment  and 
dent  opinion  on  campus.  The 
spaper  is  written,  designed  and 
duced  by  students,  and  any  stu- 
nt on  campus  may  be  involved 
th  The  TOWER  if  they  so  choose, 
t  just  communication  majors. 
"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

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

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-

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.

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.

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.

ors on  the  season  and  were  named

Qhe  women's  basketball 
team  finished  their  season 
with  the  best  record  in 
school  history  and  their 
best  PAC  performance  to 
date.  With  a  record  of  16-7  overall 
and  6-2  in  conference  play,  the 
cagers  advanced  as  far  as  sixth 
place  in  NCAA  Division  III  Atlan- 
tic Region  rankings.  Their  record 
also  earned  the  team  a  second 
place  finish  in  the  Presidents' 
Athletic  Conference. 

Senior  Jennifer  Haggerty 
reached  the  1,000  point  plateau  in 
the  last  game  of  the  season,  be- 
coming the  fifth  Bethany  women's 
player  to  reach  the  mark.  She  was 


also  named  to  the  AU-PAC  first 
team  and  led  the  Bison  with  an 
average  of  15.3  points  per  game 
and  10.1  rebounds  per  game. 

Haggerty  was  joined  on  the  All- 
PAC  first  team  by  junior  forward 
Chris  Colcombe.  Colcombe  and 
sophomore  Nicole  Novak  led  the 
team  in  steals  with  a  2.8  average 
per  game.  Novak  was  the  team's 
second  leading  scorer,  averaging 
12.1  points  per  game  and  shooting 
40  percent  from  three-point  range. 
The  sophomore  guard  was  named 
to  the  All-PAC  second  team, 
while  sophomore  teammate  Jen

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)

award  while  leading  the  Bison  in 
slugging  percentage  and  home 


runs.  Mazur  also  was  named  to

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.
