and the crowd goes wild!" was one way Bryan students saw people respond-
ing to their missions trips in the summer of 1995. Alumni Shawn Hill, Jeff
Vandemark, and Senior Pete Stone had the incredible opportunity to go to
Cuba and use basketball to witness to other people.

The team left for Cuba on July 22 after a week of orientation,
training, and practice. For a whole week their schedule consisted of one

thing- Get up. Go to

Practice in the morning.

Visit the local church

and sightsee in the
afternoon. Then...
GAME TIME! Each

evening was fdled with

the suspense. They even

played the Cuban

National Team— the

same team that played
USA's Dream Team in the
Olympics.

The best part of

the trip, according to
those who went, was

seeing the Cubans come
to Christ through their

witness. Cuba does

not allow missionaries
into the country because

they are under

Communist regime.

That made it essential
that the team portray a

Christ-like attitude

in their games and

off the court.

Pete Stone thought that

the worst part was seeing the extreme poverty of
the nation. They did not own much in compari
son with America.

Other summer jobs included department store
personnel, camp counselors, grounds workers,
and food service.

A fresh batch of immatunn^ame on
on to the Bryan campus this hist
Rebellion was common from the
beginning when beanie wearers
refused to cooperate with tradition
and give the upperclassmen due

respect. Proper hazing was outlawed
by Dean of Students, Dr. Held, for
fear of being "too harsh" on the
students. After the freshman were all
acquainted in their orientation
groups, they were finally "initiated."
They were woken up at midnight and
herded down to the famous Rhea
County courthouse where they were
accused of being freshmen. Clearly,
the\ were guilty, so it was an open-
and-shut case. Senior Alan Smith
filled the huge role of Judge Lance
Ito and Tara Luther was the profes-
sional, aggressive Marcia Clark. A

bright spot in the evening came when
selected freshman received a pie in
the face. Ahhhh... justice served— this
land is good. Freshman Amy Lien
avoided the night, but paid for it
later. A true, beautiful hazing session

occured in the weeks to follow. Her
room was emptied of all her posses-
sions, and she was doused with eggs,
honey, coffee grounds, kool-aid, and

other garbage. Ahhh justice

served. No one can avoid punishment
if they refuse to wear their beanie.
Hopefully, this freshman class will
grow out of their little quirks and
high school ways, and enter the
scholastic mainstream of Bryan. But
that might be asking a little much.

Nobody Knows Homes Better.

DORM

by alison womble

The idea of having a roomate is baffling. It is insane to
think that we can pull off being stuck with a perfect
stranger for nine months. Somehow, you manage to lose
most of the manners that your parents taught you, and
exchanged them for the luxury of being messy, loud, and
absolutely relaxed. The dorm becomes one of the "safe"
places that you can go back to and just be yourself. Then add twenty
deranged people that live on your hall, and you have a regular asylum.
So what do we do in the dorm late at night?

1. play capture-the-flag till the wee hours of morn'.

2. play "airplane" with your neighbor

3. wrapyour roomate's head in toilet paper

4. water fights

5. sunflower seed spitting contests

6. stealing your friend's clothes while in the shower

7. have wheelchair races

8. tack dead bats above the entrance to your floor

9. do a security check on those alarms.
See? We're normal. Can't you tell?

here are no lights on the soccer field for late night
games, so Sophomore Jason Schultz plays some
one-on-one with Senior Jeff Dearman in the dorm.

iving his best Eddie Vedder pose, frosh Robert Carson
spends some time realaxing with his "axe."

Working For That Chance to Study

SARAH HURLEY

Bryan College offers students
an opportunity to earn money while
going through college through the
work study program. Students may
choose to work in a variety of ways,
such as Food Service, Janitorial,
Ground, Office/Library, Maintenance,
Lifeguarding, and other jobs around
campus. The program is designed to
aid students in making money to help
pay for college. In turn, Bryan ben-
efits because the students are doing
jobs which actually make the college
run.

transfer in the Fall semester and was
privileged to find a job working as an
office grader for Dr. Lay and Mr.
Bruehl in the business department. As
an office grader, I made photocopies,
filed, graded papers, and did other
little jobs. It was very helpful to make
some money, but it was also enjoyable
because it allowed me to form a
friendship with the professors I
worked for. Also, watching their
interaction with students reinforced the
idea of Bryan faculty and staff caring
about students as people instead of just
a statistic. I feel sure that most stu-
dents would agree that they have also
seen such as attitude!

In the Spring Semester, I
continued working as an office grader,
but I took on the additional responsi-
bility of being banquet hostess while
also helping to sub for other students
in Argo's. Hostessing entailed finding
workers, setting up beforehand, serv-
ing and interacting with banquetees,
delegating jobs to student workers,
making sure things run smoothly, and
cleaning up, in addition to little run-
around jobs between the banquets.

Working with the Argos has
been a large part of my life this semes-
ter, and although it added a huge
workload into my schedule, it was
rewarding in many ways. gl

STUDENT LIFE 1 996

TV has always been a favorite pastime of people, but especially college
students. Here are the shows seen reserved most often in the Bryan
lounges:

* Lois and Clark

* Basketball games

* Highlander

* Dukes of Hazard

* Animaniacs

* X-files

* Any sports games

* Anything to avoid studying!

Students spend many hours, especially in
Woodlce-Kwing, watching sports events and
other shows.

Friends find it relaxing to sit talking and
watching TV in the Lion's Den, whether it's
sports, sitcoms, reruns, or the latest movie.

What's the Latest?

MARK WEGNER

The Bryan campus still looks
the same, but the trends sure have
changed. Pocket Wilderness is still
popular with the students, where
hiking, backpacking and rock climbing
are a favorite among many. Clothing
styles include camping material,
especially brands such as Columbia,
Northface, and Vasque boots. Jeans
cut-off at the bottom, hair-dying,
Adidas running shoes, and "the Band"
(velcro watch bands) are also in.

Some hot deals on food:
Arby's is a good place to go for a 99
cent roast beef sandwich. At Conoco,
a giant-sized 44 oz. cup is only 70
cents and a quarter for every refill.

The addition of two new blue
aluminum ping-pong tables has started
a Ping-pong revolution. The resur-

facing of the pool tables also has pool
sharks playing. Roller blading and
biking on campus are several more
popular activities for Bryanites.

Songs such as "Big House"
and "Jesus and the California Kid"
by Audio Adrenaline have been played
so many times on the jukebox that it's
probably the reason it broke.

A tradition throughout the
Lion's basketball season was the
"bleacher creatures" in the gym, who
rattled their milk jugs full of pennies to
distract opponents from making their
free throws.

Of all the different changing
trends on campus, Pocket Wilderness
and the crazy "bleacher creatures" will
probably stay around for a while, but
many others will change rapidly.

Music by "Hootie and the Blowfish" could
be heard blaring from many dorm rooms
throughout the year.

DRAMA

Led by master thespian, Bernie Belisle, the
Hilltop Players had another successful
year of dramatic production/ Seniors,
Walker Haynes and Tracy Stone were
the award-winning duo who pro-
duced their own plays early in the
year. Belisle spoke highly of the
talent that he had this last year.
Both Walker and Tracy had
served faithfully for four years
as members of the Hilltop
players, and they both had
appeared in every produc-
tion since they were fresh-
men. Reviews for their in-
dividual production were
very positive, considering

that this was a first for both of the Communi-
cation majors.
The production that occured in the
spring was "Our Town." This was a
unique drama, because it was cen-
trally focused around pure acting.
The play play required little or
no props or stage visuals.
Bryan students were duly
impressed by the acting ability
of all who participated. The
play was more heady, and
intellectual than some pro-
ductions in the past, but the
Hilltop Players, again,

talent was here, gjjj

FIRST-TIME BUYERS ARE FINALLY GETTING

THE RECEPTION THEY DESERVE.

tUSHM

It used to be hard for first-time buyers to get attention. But things have changed. In fact, these days,
you may find that you're able to negotiate a better price on your purchase and a better interest rate on
your mortgage just because you are a first-time buyer.

Why? Since you're not selling one house to buy another, your transaction is simpler and more likely to
be concluded without problems. These days, that's quite appealing to sellers and lenders. For more
information, count on the support you get at Coldwell Banker. We'd welcome your call at any time.

If you ever wandered
into Summers Gymnasium
around noon, you would
see a group of Bryan pro-
fessors and a group of stu-
dents sprinting up and
down the court, playing de-
fense, shooting threes and
calling their own fouls. One
nearly constant sportsman
among the NOON BALL
athletes was Christian Edu-
cation Professor Dr. Brian
Richardson.

Doc Richardson and
his wife, Sharon
Richardson, director of
Practical Christian Involvement, met their
students in more than just the classroom.
Generations of Bryan students have water
skied behind the Richardson's boat, watched
sporting events in their den, and moved on
to full time ministries with a real understand-
ing of giving of themselves.

The Richardsons did more than work
here, they became part of the Bryan family.
They personified what it meant to be true
leaders. They were friends with the people
they led instead of just guiding them. It will
be weird in the years to come when they
aren't here. We will miss Dr. Richardson's
3-pointers and his office door, always wide
open to students who come up to him for
advice. We will miss Sharon's smile and her
fun-loving attitude.

The Richardsons will be leaving the
Bryan family to be a part of Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
Dr. Richardson will be professor of Christian
Education. Although we will miss them
greatly, we know the Lord will use them in a
mighty way.

For your loyalty and commitment to the
family at Bryan, we thank you.

STUDENT LIFE 1996

ne and one makes 3: Sophomore Dave
Mundy and Junior Daniel Walters started
3rd Line, a fine arts forum.

3rd Line is a student-run organization
started in the Fall. "It is an opportunity
to freely express yourself through
artistic creativity in an open and free
enviroment," says Daniel Walters. In
the past, Bryan had something similar to
3rd Line, but student interest had
dwindled and almost faded completely.
Daniel Walters and Dave Mundy shared
a common vision of seeing the spark of
creativity once, again, ignited on cam-
pus. Mundy said how he felt- "It's
really neat how Daniel and I had the
same vision, and when Daniel told me
about his idea— we decided to do it!"
Through the help of the English Depart-
ment, 3rd Line was brought from a
dream to reality.

The name 3rd Line came from Daniel
Walters reading Plato's Republic--
"Beds, then are three kinds, and there
are three artists who superintend them:
God, the maker of the bed, and the
painter." 3rd Line is an old idea, but a

new experience that gives an added
dimension into creativity of thought
through a new perspective and look into
the arts.

As Christians and as humans, we are
made with creativity inside each of us.
3rd Line offers students the opportunity
to share this creativity with others in the
categories of visual art, poetry, prose,
music, and drama. It meets three times
a semester and features work from both

students and faculty.
Keith Heschman has played his bag-
pipes, Amy Belk has read poetry, and
Whit Jones has even contributed.
This is an encouraging step for Bryan
into exploring new vistas on the fine
arts level. Perhaps this will ignite the
creative fires within students at Bryan
to express and view art on a different
plane.

z
m

bst recently named the Land of Nod, Dave Gerhart, Jimmy Taylor,
Susie Warren, and Andy Sarine formed a band of Freshman, which
performed often at 3rd Line symposiums.

JOY MOTTE

f you aren't in class, where are you?

ho do we think of as our commu-
nity? Our roommates. Our
suitemates. The guys of Woodlee
Ewing Dorm. The sophomore
class. All of Bryan Hill. Life in the big city of
Dayton. Or the bigger city of Chattanooga. We
all have a sense of community or belonging,
a social grouping. Community Life. It's where
you go. what you do and with whom you do it.

nswers to our survey had some com-
mon themes. "Go to Chattanooga"
surfaced on nearly everyone's list.
Other favorites included:check out
coffee houses (some prefered scouting out
new ones), see a movie, have fun with friends.

ere are some other true confessions
of how we live in our community:

->Play basketball

-ftGo to the Den or visit with friends
^Friday night Jazz at Mountain Jana Coffee
House

xVGo chat with friends and listen to music,
movies, and read a good book,
-ft I like to read or go see a movie, visit coffee
shops, and "veg" out at my friends' house
■iVPlay Axis and Allies and spend time with
my girlfriend

-ftPlay games with my friends, relax and day-
dream, and spend lots of time with my boy-
friend

-fttife on this campus is really boring. My fa-
vorite thing to do is read. My favorite place to
go is -BED

tVSpend time with my beautiful, wonderful,
special, inspirational, incredible, loving, car-
ing, fun, and silly girlfriend.
tVFree time? What's free time? If ever there
were such a thing, I'd spend it sleeping to
make up for studying.

■&\ like to go to coffee houses, and I like to
jam on my twelve string guitar
-ftDo something outside during the day - like
hike, walk, or run

-ftGo to a friend's house to play games and
watch movies.

s you see here, there are a variety of

things we do to entertain ourselves

during our free hours of our days. It

may be the movie theater or it might

be the Walking Bridge. We confess, college

life is far more than classes, studying and

hours at the computer. Unless you're talking

to my parents. . .

STUDENT LIFE 1998

You may be wondering, where has this girl been
hiding? Well, she is a new addition to our Bryan family
this year. Abby is a transfer student from Florida Bible
College. She is studying to earn her Bachelor's degree in
elementary education. She plans to continue her school-
ing in a Master's program for history after graduating from
Bryan next spring.

Abby was born on a ranch in Texas. In fact, her
own dad delivered her! She currently lives in Atlanta,
Georgia. She is the eldest of four girls in her family, and
was raised in a Christian home. She says that she has
been a Christian for as long as she can remember, and her
favorite Bible character is Peter because- "he is just like
me," she claims.

Her burden for women has given Abby dreams of
becoming a foster mother for abused and abandoned
young women. She plans to integrate her education de-
gree by teaching these women to read and write so that
they can better function within society. The three most
influential people in Abby's life reflect three aspects of
her personality. The first she mentioned was her mom.
Abby described her as the "most amazing person." She
said that she thinks of her mom as her best friend. Martha
Stuart, "America's favorite homemaker," is another influ-
ential person in Abby's life. Since Abby loves cooking
and crafts- Martha has inspired her life. She also greatly
admires Winston Churchill for his brilliance. In fact, she
commented that she wants to marry someone like him-
except better looking!

"Content" is the word Abby chooses to describe
herself. She is happy with who she is, and where she is
right now. She may have discovered the secret which is
spoken of in her favorite quote" "The secret is to become
wise before you get old." Is there wisdom in contentment?
Talk to Abby Baker and find out for yourself!

smugly thinking about how professional I look.
The verse, "Pride goes before a fall" applies,
though. As soon as I think everything is going
smoothly, 1 slosh coffee, drop dirty forks in labs,
and deal with less-than-polite banquetees. Hey, it
happens to the best of us.

Once we are done actually serving the
people, the workers "pull" the food into the
kitchen, and fix their own plates. Sometimes we
sit on the stairs and rest our aching feet while we
eat, complain about the work or tell funny
anecdotes about the night's events. Everyone
who works at Argo's as to have a sense of humor
to survive a banquet.

Then comes the fun part: CLEAN UP
TIME! We can get dirty (and we do), get down
(with tunes on the radio, and get done. This is a
more relaxed time. We tease each other, clean up
mountains of dirty dishes, rearrange the tables
and try to restore the cafeteria to some sem-
blance of order. I look forward to this time to
restore my sanity and make friends. Clean up
time is bonding time... Try it and see.

At the end of this eventful night we punch
out, cheerfully drag our tired feet out the door
and say our good-byes to head home to a well-
deserved and much needed shower.

Being on the Argo's banquet crew is not
lor cowards. But if you need a change of pace, a
new adventure, a way to spend a boring, dateless
Friday or Saturday night, it might be just the
thing for your social life Drop by sometime and
work a banquet with us. Your feel will ache, f>< ii
you'll have a great time

I am about to embark on another wonderful journey in Argo-land:
THE BANQUET. Once I walk through that heavy kitchen door and it bangs
behind me, I have taken the plunge. This is it. I hurriedly greet John and
Alan, clock in, and run into the dining room to await orders for THE BOSS
(a.k.a. Mrs. Argo). You and I know that Mr. Argo runs Argo, Inc., but we
also know who's really in charge.

Okay, back to the banquet. I grab the nearest tablecloths I can find,
fling them on the tables (All the while taking great care to line up the
creases with the ends of the table,) and then start the tedious job of pinning
brilliantly-colored skirts along the edges of the buffet tables. People are
running around everywhere making tea, counting plates, setting tables, and
in general, just getting in each other's way.

If you ever work a banquet, and you need to get from point A to point
B you might as well take

a number and wait your

banquet is in- teracting

with the people who

attend. I never know what

king of characters I'll get a my table. They could be relative of Miss
Manners herself, or they could be bosom buddies with Cruella DeVille.

I just grit my teeth, hope for the best, and ask the all-important
question, "What would you like to drink tonight, ma'am?" I repeat this
question about 50 mission times until everyone at my assigned table has
their preferred liquid refreshment, and then I walk around with a coffee pot,

FROM THE HEART

Becky Patterson teaches a lesson in sharing

= by SARAH HURLEY and AMY LIEN

ot only has Becky Patterson been

N granted the title of 1995 Homecom-
ing Queen, she has also reached the
crowning achievement of being a
true and sharing friend. Accord-
ing to suitemate and fellow home-
coming representative Tracy Stone, "I admire
Becky not only for her friendliness but for her
capacity to be a really good friend to more than
a few people." Becky, who was crowned as
Bryan's Homecoming Queen, passed around
her crown for her two suitemates and the other
two representatives on the Senior Homecom-
ing Court to wear.

"Inspiration" and "Encouragement" are the
words which friends say best describe Becky
Patterson. Senior Joe Graham echoes this sen-
timent. "I have been blessed to see Becky grow
in so many areas," he said. " Her friendship has
been a constant source of inspiration and en-
couragement in my life."

After commencement Becky plans on
sharing this aspect of herself by becoming an
elementary school teacher. To prepare for her
career, Becky has taught BEM for three years
and has tutored. This spring semester she com-
pleted her student teaching at Graysville El-
ementary School.

A Becky Patterson and Joe Graham take
advantage of the "Ice Storm of '96," which
closed Bryan for 1 day, delayed classes with a

10 a.m. snow schedule start twice and made
the Grassy Bowl (and every other spot on
Bryan Hill) almost perfect for sledding.

BOSTIC: An Explosion of Power and Performance

Junior Matt Bostic is a powerhouse
of activity who is involved in many
things around Bryan College. Most
Bryan students know him as Matty, #11
on the men's basketball team, or as the
RA for Woodlee-Ewing, first floor. He
mav often be seen working out with the
guys, shooting hoops on the basketball
court with friends, planning fishing trips,
or playing country music on his guitar.

Even at age 21, this Indiana boy
keeps a special place open in his heart
for his dad, who he says is his best friend.
People often look up to Matt because of
his many good qualities and view him as
a role model. Basketball player fresh-
man Randy Evans says, "He is a real en-
couraging guy who always has a smile
on his face. His love for Christ is shown
both on and off the court."

Matt's good attitude and display of
integrity has allowed people to think of
him as a quiet but fun guy who often
exhibits an explosion of power and per-
formance in what he does. He really
enjoys working with kids and plans on
one day using this gift by becoming a
youth minister.

Presently, Matt is working to earn
his Christian Education degree. He is a
hard worker who demonstrates an atti-
tude of caring towards others and to-
wards what he is doing. One of his many
friends, Suzanne Barber, says of him, "I
think of Matt as a sweet, friendly guy
who is easy to get along with and who
has a funny Indiana accent that goes with
his personality. Also, I know that if I
needed someone to talk to or if I had a
problem, he'd be willing to listen."

Overcoming Obstacles:

BY JOY MOTTE

Marcy Whisman looks life in the eye

W ho do you think of when you hear

young, energetic, and friendly? Who else,
but Marcy Whisman. Marcy is a visually
challenged sophomore from Chattanooga.

It's no small feat for any of us to get
into college, but Marcy conquered that
hurdle with the help of friends, family and
some interesting technical assistance.

Being blind is not easy, but Marcy over-
comes with perseverance and a little help
from her friends. Her teachers let her take
home her tests so that she can enlarge the
print on her magnifier. When the reading
gets too lengthy, Jeff Paulson reads to her.
Even the people in the library are helpful.
They help her find books.

Marcy gets help from people and an as-
sortment of special equipment. "I have a lot
of equipment I got over the summer. I have
a large print computer," she said. "I also

have a close circuit television. I put what I
want to see on a tray and the machine mag-
nifies it." Marcy also has a special clip-
board that she can take notes with.

With all of her special needs, you might
think Marcy would have little time for any-
thing but studying, but think again. Cur-
rently Marcy is involved in the BEM and
Kids Kollege, where she teaches the re-
corder. She also competes in forensics,
sponsored by the English department.

At the end of the school year, Marcy
does not go home and do nothing. She
works at the Vital Center. She explained
that, "It's a place of rehabilitation for the
blind and visually impaired. The program,
for people of all ages, emphasizes adaptive
daily living: stuff like talking watches, little
things you put in a glass of water to tell when
the glass is full, and other aids that help

UWl

people with visual impairments. Also, there
is a department that trains people on large
print computers and printers."

And her academic goals? A master's
degree in vision aid or rehabilitation. Marcy
wants to work with students with visual
problems, coordinating assignments for
their teachers.

"I hope to be working with a rehabilita-
tion center where I can work with all ages.
I want to help children and adults get back
to their regular lives and show them how
they can live life like everyone else."

Marcy has some words of advice for
those who are entering college with a dis-
ability. She says, "Just really try to be open
about it. People here are really accepting,
and they will accept you for who you are.
Don't worry about it, and don't think about
it. Just go out and do your best."

HAVING A BALL

Tina Johnson juggles sports, ministry & drama

=BY KELLY GRIFFIS

Tina Johnson. It's a well-known
name on the campus of Bryan
College, but why? But, why
is this outgoing, talented
freshman smiling?
For starters, Tina loves sports and
is actively involved here at Bryan as a
player of both volleyball and basketball.
She also enjoys playing soccer and
watching other sports. Tina incorporates
more than just competition in sports; she
looks forward to an atmosphere of fun
and encouragement in each game.

Although Tina devotes much of
her time to the sports program, she also
holds the position of a Presidential
Scholar. She maintains a high grade
point average and strives for a level of
excellence that typifies her character. Al-
though this English major seems to have

a busy schedule, she still allows time for
other people.

Every Thursday morning, Tina
heads out with a Gimpers group to help
present a puppet-show message to chil-
dren in various BEM classes. This not
only occupies Thursday mornings but
also entails late-night practices with the
group. In addition to this ministry, Tina
has become an active visitor of
Graysville's Calvary Baptist Church.
She participates in Sunday morning dis-
cussions with the youth group and sings
in the choir as well.

With all of these activities, Tina
still manages to offer a listening ear to
those around her. This North Carolina
native has a close relationship with her
family and talks with them often. Con-
versations with her sister Tiffany are very
see BALL on page 63

■HE GREAT ESCAPE!?!

by Kelly Griffis

Most students look forward to college as a time to get out on
their own and make their own way in the world, free of their
parents watchful eye. But not these Bryan students. . .

Julia Bruehl says, "I really enjoy the chance
to get to know my dad better. It adds a
whole new dimension to our relationship. I
get to see him in a totally different light. Not
that he's different at school than he is at
home.. .well, he is but... you know what I
mean. He's a great guy!"
Dr. Wilhoil feels the same way about his
daughter. He says, "It's great fun seeing her
around campus - she helps keep me on task.
Makes sure I know the students' names. I've
put a lot of myself into Bryan over the years
and its great to see the rewards coming out
in my daughter. She's my student worker
and we have a great time clowning around

together."

THE QUEST FOR TRUTH

Introducing the new faces of our staff and faculty on The Hill.

= by Kelly Griff is

I stood waiting in the rain for
the informant. He wouldn 't
give the information he had
to just anybody. The Com-
moner staff had to plead,
beg, bribe, and blackmail bat we got
what we wanted. A man slipped out of
the fog and handed me a coded mes-
sage. Aha! it was true! Bryan Col-
lege had added five full-time staff po-
sitions in 1995-96. A car drove by
sloshing mud and water all over my
suede shoes. Yuck. The lengths we will
go to get the truth - but it s all worth it.
Paul Boling was hired to fill the
need for a full-time philosophy and
Bible professor. He is also serving as
Associate Pastor at Grace Bible
Church.

Marcy Froemke has been
teaching part-time at Bryan in the mu-
sic department. In addition to her mu-

sic responsibilities, Mrs. Froemke has
taken a large role in the education de-
partment this year.

A 1991 graduate of Bryan,
David Johnston, was hired this year
by the Natural Science Department.
One of his responsibilities, besides
teaching, will be to put together upper
level biology courses.

Raymond Legg has
been teaching part-time at
Bryan for several years but
just this year was added a full-
time professor of English. Mr.
Legg is also working on his
Doctorate of Arts from Middle
Tennessee State University.

Gary Schnittjer fills in
the spot left vacant by Ernie
Ricketts. His responsibilities
this year include teaching both
Bible and Greek.

This information was priceless.
We were fortunate that it had not
landed in the wrong hands, because if
this ever got out it could lead to seri-
ous trouble. I walked on into the night
- confidant that another disaster had
been averted by The Commoner staff.

^ The new resident directors of Long dorm, Travis and
Sherri Ricketts, are expecting their first child this summer.

A Dr. StCVC Ouaktnbush came to Dayton as part of a new joint venture between
Bryan and Wycliffc's Summer Institue of Linguistics

LARGE NUMBERS

Dr. David Fouts. Questionably funny puns come to mind.
And some funny ones, too. But beyond the classroom
humor, Dr. Fouts has already begun to leave his mark on
the Bryan College campus. Old Testament scholar, chess
king(pun intended), large number expert, entrepreneur,
Softball slugger, metal detector, and family man-- Dr. Fouts
keeps a healthy balance on life amidst the stress of col-
lege life.

Graduate of Stephen Austin University and Dallas Theo-
logical Seminary, Dr. Fouts is married to Marlene, and
they have two children- Jason and Heidi. Dr. Fouts teaches
Historical Books, Poetic Books, Acts, and the Pentateuch,
as well as some Hebrew. The reason for having such an
emphasis on Old Testament studies available to Bryan stu-
dents is that, "most students will receive most of their
Biblical teaching from the New Testament after they leave
Bryan," says Fouts, and a heavy dose of Old Testament
classes will help balance future knowledge.
Fouts has written many papers defending the use of large
numbers in the Old Testament as hyberbole NOT "exag-
geration!" The Fouts arrived in Dayton in '93 from Mon-
tana where they ran a personal delivery buisiness. So far,
they have managed to fit right in, and keep the Bryan
campus happy and laughing(sometimes.) -~

Standing Tall: Thetie speaks louder than words-- Dr. David
and Marlene Fouts also went on the Jamaica spring break
missions trip. It was Dr. Fouts' second year.

he second annual exchange
trip between the Open
University in Moscow and
Bryan College was completed
during the fall semester.
Students involved in this
cultural swap were Dave
Mundy, Shonda Tompkins,
Cristy Kroeker, Jamie Cooper,
Stuart Sloan, and John Butler.
These students were joined by

perrenial Russian traveler and
resident expert on the Ruskies,
Dr. Bill Ketchersid and pun-
filled Dr. David Fouts.

According to Jamie
Cooper, sophomore, the goals
of the trips were for both
groups to immerse themselves
fully in the lifestyle, language,
and heritage of the host
country. Expectedly, things
were much different in Russia
than the pleasant rolling hills
of Tennessee. Jamie was
surprised that a small fee had

was struck by the fact that the
Russians were very eager to
pursue more knowledge about
the United States and
American life. She was also
impressed by the minimal
amount of personal space that
was given for everyone.

Returning the favor,
Bryan hosted a group of

August 24 found
Bryan College opening
the doors to its own
Honors Program. This
program has added a new dimension to
the classroom by incorporating both
hard work and enjoyment. Pizza
parties, monies, and humor are
combined with deep discussions, study
groups, tests, papers, and projects.
The honors j courses hold distinct
differences from the standard classes
offered by Bryan. According to Dr. Dan
Brown, head 'of the Honors program,
"This is supposed to stay away
from being seen as a seperate
major or minor, but is to be
seen as an enhanced course of study."
The classes Were not designed to be
necessarily harder, but were rather
designed to be more intellectually
challenging. ..Honors student, Kelly
Griffis states, "I enjoy the honors
classes because we are able to

participate more than in other classes;
we have more of a say in what is done,
and the classes have stretched my
mental abilities so that I feel I have
been pushed to a new intellectual
dimension by the mere fact that I've
had to actually think."

Your Honor?": Dr. Dann Brown
! heads up the infant stages of a
I promising Honors program.

The program's curriculum was based
on the idea that each prospective
honors student needs to have met

needs to maintain criteria after being
enrolled. In addition, each studer
needs to get a total of 18 "H-option"
credit hours, in order to be recognized
at graduation with high distinction.
Bryan is considered to already have an
excellent student-teacher ratio, but the
honors program encourages an even
more personal approach. Freshman
Carson Lester views the smaller
numbers as "more conducive to
learning."

President, Dr. Bill Brown, along with
former Academic Vice President, Dr.
Herb Sierk, started the idea that
eventually evolved into the Honors
program as we now know it. Faculty
and staff were introduced to this idea
in the fall of 1994 and worked together
so that it might be approved. Faculty-
wide permission for the birth of the
program was finally granted in the
spring of 1995 during the Presidential
Scholars weekend.

Toughest Challenge

There are a few classes at Bryan that
hold the definite distinction of
being extremely challenging. The
attrition rate in these classes have
made them mildly infamous among
the students who have fallen to
their dreaded requirements. Candi-

award are: (1) Fine Arts with Dr.
Wilhoit, (2) Human Growth and
Development with Dr. Bradshaw, (3)
Biology and Lab with Dr. Hartzell.
This year the coveted award is pre-
sented to Dr. Hartzell for causing
nightmares and cold sweats to most
of his students.

WHEN THE LIGHTS DONT GO OUT

HUMOR

by rachel crumpler

The college experience could not be complete
without that P-word: Procrastination! Without
Procrastination, the average college student
would miss out on many exciting, stressful, and
agonizing moments that fill the greater part of
each semester— especially during mid-terms and
finals.

Anguished cries come fromt he computer
lab, "What's wrong with this printer? It's pos-
sessed!" "What do you mean the system is
down? My twenty-five page thesis is due tomor-
row!!!" reveal the often gruesome effects of
waiting until the last minute, or the conse-
quences of playing just a couple more games of
ping-pong or pool.

Of course, without procrastination, one
would also miss out on those late night snacks
and caffeine binges, where lasting
frienships(and those few extra pounds) are
gained!

So, you make the call: would you rather
do your reading, writing, and studying weeks in
advance and experience a less stressful life with
more rest and relaxation.... or put your work off
just a couple days more, enjoy those extra social
activities and fully experience college life?!

The only real student: A rare find, Jeremy Dollar, decides
to take advantage of his college education and type out his
paper much earlier than the due date.

(Very) Personal Computers

BRYANnet

What would you see if you walked into a computer lab at night?
Research. Studying. Looking at Fine Arts slides. Biology magjors
studying slides. Using the Library of the Future. Typing hours upon
hours of theses, summarys, reports, journals. Right? Wrong. With
the advent of e-mail and the easy "chat" feature, people are commu-
nicating into the wee hours of the night. Romance, friendships, and
group discussions, and little bit of levity keep Bryan students up
later than usual. Some one commented that it was easier to talk to
people over Bryannet because they had more time to think ahout a
clever response to inquiries and comments. Mass amounts of in-
coming e-mail have flooded the computer labs with people hope-
fully listening for the beep that notifies them of a letter. A remedy
for the increased usage of the computers would be to put a few
more computers in the dorm labs. The reliability of Bryannet has
dramatically improved since the first part of the school year, when
it crashed with awful regularity. The hard work of Maxi drcen and
Tim Vlooney has made Bryannet work smoothly, now, and satisfy
most everyone.

My computer will call your computer:
Romanics are sparked and friendships

Life
of

Bryan

by Ben Simpson

When you take a glance at Senior Bryan

Eck, he would seem like your ordinary
senior here at Bryan. When he gradu-
ates he will have a degree in Christian
Education, with a minor in Bible and
History. He is currently engaged to be
married to Amy Belk on August 3 and
plans to move back to Delaware, their
former home, where Amy plans to at-
tend the University of Delaware. After
that Eck doesn't have any definite plans.

But when you take a closer look,
he is an extraordinary athlete that has
brought amazing attributes to this
school. This year he is not only playing
his usual position in the goal, but he is
taking on a role on the tennis team, as
he did last year, and on the basketball
team, as he did his freshman year. It
even goes farther than on the field.
Bryan is recognized as a leader in ev-
erything that he does. He just has that
take charge type of attitude that every-
one knows and respects.

Eck came to Bryan College be-
cause both of his pastors had attended
Bryan. As a child he kept hearing about
this school that shared his name. So, he
told his mother that he was going there.
When he was older he came to a Cara-
van Weekend and met with two of his
future coaches, Zensen and Michalski,
and made the decision to come to Bryan,
rung to Bryan, Eck has
played in the mouth of the Lion's goal,

Eck confers with his teammates before
they take the field.

and he has helped form the team
into what it is today. He has been a
keeper ever since he was a little kid in
the third grade. They put him in the goal
because he was the biggest kid of them
all. "I wouldn't have it any other way,"
Eck said when asked about how he
started playing keeper. As he grew, he
learned more goalie skills from the as-
sistant pastor in his church, who conse-
quently played goalie at Bryan as well.

In high school, Eck was devoted
more to basketball than soccer since he
grew up in a big basketball region of the
country, and basketball has been a part
of him ever since he played it as a little
kid at the local Y.M.C.A. His high
school coach also was a big influence in
his life on the court and in his spiritual
life. .

Eck has also always played ten-
nis. He had always been good in Bryan's
Intramural tournament. In high school
he always played his brother. When
asked who won, a cocky Eck said, "I
would say 'I did' if he were here." Eck
developed a strong friendship with his
tennis coach. Bill Rush, and now he
plays for him.

Eck is an important ingredient
to the athletic department here at Bryan,
and everyone will miss him. Yet, Eck
has a different perspective on things. "I
loved it all. I developed friendships with
all sorts of people, which is more im-
portant than winning or losing."

"Practice makes perfect" is a motto
which keeps Brian Eck focusing on his
three-pointers.

Eck enjoys watching a team member
get therapy while waiting his turn.

When he's not busy playing, Eck can a game of basketball, baseball,

often be found in the lounge watching tennis, or any other sport on TV.

FACES IN THE CROWD

Melinda Snead (Cumming, GA)

Sophomore, Age 20, Communication Arts Major

Between being on the tennis team, classes, and being the yearbook editor, Melinda
found the time and patience to put up with her intramural ping-pong partner Troy Orndoff.
Together they won the Mixed Doubles Ping-Pong Championship. She said of her partner,
"Troy was very fortunate to have someone as sought after as me as his partner because
nobody else could have made up for his incompetence."

Troy Orndoff (Winchester, VA)
Senior, Age 23, History Major

Troy won the Ping-Pong Mixed Doubles Intramural with Melinda Snead about whom
he says, "I had to carry Melinda on my back because she's the worst ping-pong player ever."
Troy wants to go on to grad school so that one day he may be able to teach as a college
history professor (and maybe teach some ping-pong lessons on the side).

Mark Wages (Lawrenceville, GA)

Junior, Age 21, Mathematics-Computer Science Major

Mark is a major pool shark who won (surprise!) the Pool Intramural Championship.
When he's not playing pool, you'll probably find him over at the Juke Box, which recently
broke because he played "Big House" by Audio Adrenaline so many times in a row.

Ricky Velarde (Coral Springs, FL)
Senior, Age 21, Psychology Major

In order to win the Foosball Intramural Championship with his partner Adam
Soukup, Ricky must have practiced some of his psychology principles on his opponents
which brought him the victory. After graduation, Ricky plans to go on to grad school and
eventually get his doctorate so that he can be a psychologist. His sister, Lou Velarde says,
"Rick has a winner's heart and is an awesome brother."

Adam Soukup (Deltona, FL)

Senior, Age 22, Business Administration Major

Adam's clear and analytical thinking helped him play a very calculated game of
foosball, and working with his partner, Ricky, he pulled out the win for the Foosball Intramu-
ral Championship. After graduation, Adam plans to go to grad school to further his educa-

"The NEW/OLD Field:
A Sight for Sore Ankles"

The new Bryan College soccer field, in-
stalled in the summer of '95, was a sight for
sore ankles.

The "old" field had lost most of its grass
and it's crown. In its place wash dirt, rocks,
wild onions, weeds, and a variety of holes and
divets (also known as ankle breakers).

The Grounds Department should be com-
mended for
doing its
homework
and finding
a hybrid of
grass
adapted to
our climate
here in

lower east
Tennessee.
They also in-
vested much
effort into
bringing the

field to readiness by opening day of the '95 soc-
cer season.

The players truly appreciated the consis-
tent surface which made the soccer games more
skill-based. The goalkeepers benefited from
not having to look into the sun in the second
half (1 should know. I can draw sunspots from
memory).

The
crown also
allow e d
the field to
shed water
during the
rain)
games.
The grass
held up
quite Hell
which
means the
field
should be
esen nicer
for the Fall
1996 sea-
son.

The onh drawback? 1 he new field does
not la> beside the "Bit; Mill" However the
small hill could be developed by that same
Ground! Department.

It is notworlhs that the original soccer
field, the one before the "old" one, was more

"Women's Soccer makes it
to the Big Show"

For me its almost like that feeling you get
when a long-term goal that you've worked so hard
and so long on is finnally accomplished.

Ever since
the Bryan

Womens Soccer
team started in
'92 it has been an
uphill climb, but
even so it has
been such an ex-
citing and re-
warding experi-
ence. It has taken
a lot of stamina, a
lot of hard work,
and a lot of time
on each player to
reach the point where we are now.

It's exciting to see how God works in so many
different ways, He gave us a great coach and a
great group of girls to work with. It's been amaz-
ing just to watch the things that happen when you
depend on Him. We've been working hard to be-
come a Varsity team and it's been a struggle, but
it has also been a blessing.

The growth that has taken place within the
team has been an
encouragment to
be a part of; there
is such a special
bond amoung team
player that you
don't get anywhere
else. And physi-
cally we have taken
a huge step toward
improvement and I
feel that our new
status will push us
even harder to
acheive higher lev-
els and have even
higher goals.

I'm really ex-
cited about the road our team is on, and I can't
wait to see where it's going to take us. Our deep-
est love and thanks to our wonderful Coach Ander-
son—without him we wouldn't be anywhere where
we are now.

Even though heong Varsity status means even
more work and responsibility, I know team can
rise to the challenge and show the world what
Bryan's Womens Soccer learn a made of.

TENNIS

The tennis team: Making a raquet

by Gayle Couch

MVP Melody Sheddan cuts her back-
hand for a surprise short drop ball.

The 1 996 tennis team worked through a
lot of problems this year to show a
marked improvement. Bad weather and
scheduling difficulties made for a rough
start to the season, but things smoothed
out eventually and the team began to pull
together.

Coach Bill Rush was not always
able to be at practices or matches due to
his responsibilities at the local YMCA,
so the team got to "try out" several
coaches throughout the season. Coach
Beck took the girls team to LMU and
her pre-match pep talk helped the girls
to pull out a few close ones. Coach
Zensen became the winningest tennis
coach in Bryan College history as he
guided the girls team to victory at TN
Weslyan. Claudio Flores became a
regular addition to the team and an im-

portant asset. Even though he was here
for soccer, his professional tennis expe-
rience cam in handy and the teams fun-
damentals improved along with
Claudio's English.

The women won two of their
matches as a team, and every player put
up a lot of good fights, sometimes win-
ning, and sometimes losing, but always
making it an exciting match.

The men's team won its first
team victory ever this season in a very
close final match against Milligan Col-
lege, allowing seniors Bryan Eck and
Daniel Johnson to end their BC tennis
careers with a bang. Eck and Johnson
are the only tennis players that are gradu-
ating this year, so there will be many
returning players next year with a lot of
potential to make it a winning season.

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Here's How Y
Play the Gam

by Travis Ricketts

In a sport filled with superstars who
have endorsement contracts eight
times as large as their multi billion
dollar deals for lacing up their
sneakers, Bryan's basketball team
remained a throwback to the good
old days of team basketball. Their
record did not sparkle with excessive
"W s", but their testimony to the
world remained a beacon to the
basketball world with whom they
came into contact.

For the fans in the stands and
the friends on the bench, the most
valuable moments were exhibitions
of Christ-like leadership exhibited by
young men who had matured in their
walk while here at Bryan under the
able eye of Coach Mo. The season
started pretty dismally for the Lions,
as they entered Christmas without a
single win. Undaunted, however, the
team entered the new year with re-
newed vigor and fire in their legs. A
close three-point loss to Florida
A&M encouraged the Lions as they
saw that with a huge effort, the Lions
could be a lethal and potent force
against any opponent. Buoyed by
this close loss to a Division IA school,
Bryan travelled to Chicago and won
their first game and entire tourna-
ment. Conference play resumed in
January and the Lions continued their
charge towards the top of the TVAC.
Close games and hard fought play

38 Bryan Illustrated/Men's Basketball

turned into losses, but the Lions hung
tough to secure a playoff spot in Dis-
trict play.

The season definitely could not
be measured by a simple win-loss
column. For example, Steve Barber
genuinely smiled at the officials as
they blew their whistles and pointed
in his general direction. Another of
the memorable "Kodak moments"
were the dozens of times that Bryan
seniors pulled their opponents up off
of the floor with genuine concern for
their welfare.

Perhaps this bunch of young
men's greatest legacy is exemplified
by a comment made to the coach by
one of the Lion's opponents who had
faced the Lions for the last four years.

"Coach. I have enjoyed playing
Bryan more than any other school.
Your players practice what they
preach," he said.

Student trainers are a major part
of what makes up our Athletics
department. Though few in number,
they make up for it in their importance
that they have to every sporting event.
The action that our Lions put on
couldn't happen without our sports
medicine staff.

With the help of our on-staff
Head trainer Seth Kinley, Bryan
College has developed a minor in sports
medicine. Seven students are involved
with the program this year. They are
Kyle Devaney (Head Student Trainer).
Cyndee Hays, Tiavis Smith, Patrick
Muncey, Ciaylc Couch, Emily Mayo,
and Jason Schultz. The students on staff

are required to be certified in both CPR
and First aid, which makes them
qualified in what they do."," said
Devaney.

Many things go on at games that
the crowd doesn't know about. There
are things that keep the wheels of the
team greased while they play so they
can focus on the task at hand. The
student trainers with head Trainer
Kinley have a hand in those
underworkings that go. Senior Cager
Peter Stone reports, "with all of the
responsibility Seth has, his student
trainers arc vital; even though Seth does
an excellent job he relies on them
heavily."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Overcoming Obstacles

by Shauna Murray

It was a slow start for the 1995-
1996 Lady Lions, but God and a little
hard work brought the girls through to
earn a place in the TVAC tournament
for the first time in Bryan College his-
tory. In the beginning, such a positive
outcome for the season looked impos-
sible. Troubles began early in the sea-
son when Michelle Downy, the team's
crucial force in the post position, was
told she had too many credit hours to
play. Fortunately this was confirmed
before games started so adjustments
were made, but this left Coach Ratledge
with only two posts, Angie Jarboe, a
freshman, Shauna Murrey, a sopho-
more, and Jodi Hadlock, a senior. She
also came to rely on tow powerful for-
wards, Cara Dulaney, a freshman, and
Andrea Moore. This, however, was
only the start of their troubles, as defeats
started piling up and the team morale hit
an all-time low. Something desperately
needed to break for the team.

Despite the high expectations of the
coaching staff and players, the season
was quickly slipping through their fin-
gers. With only one win for the first
semester, and three players leaving the
team, it seemed as if any chance for re-
demption was beyond the team's hands.

Christmas Break passed slowly for
those returning to complete the season.
A grim determination marked those who
returned early from their break for an
intense restructuring time before the
girls' first game for the second-semes-
ter began. With one addition, Sarah
Anne Strickland, a freshman transfer,
the team refocused their attention on
unity and glorification of God. With
some inspirational words (and a few
conditioning sessions) Coach Ratledge
whipped her team into a holy frenzy,

bringing back the fighting
spirit that had been so preva-
lent during pre-season.
Though the girls lost the first
game, they played consider-
ably better than they had in any
of the first semester games.
Some of the players even said
it was like playing on a whole
new team. In their second
game, the girls finally had that
taste of victory they had
worked so hard to earn. The
team's play was marked with
the unity, which had been miss-
ing the first semester. The girls
were playing with better atti-
tudes, and more intensity, not
to mention a killer defense.
Crowd support increased as the
girls earned an invitation to the
Tennessee/Virginia Athletic
Conference tournament for the
first time in the history of
Bryan's Women's Basketball.
The team had to go through
some rough waters, but just as
Jesus calmed the storm, so He
uplifted the girls' spirits and
guided them to a distinguished
end.

Good passing, as shown by the Lady
Lions, is essential to winning a game.

Balance Without Burnout:

Sports, Studies
& Relationships

by Joy Motte

MeetRenae Speichinger, a jun-
ior Education major. This future
teaches is a unique asset to Bryan
College and her friends around her.

Renae first heard about Bryan
College from her parents, who are
both alumni. Her first visit to Bryan
was at Caravan in the spring of her
senior year of high school.

It was here that Renae first be-
came involved in varsity college
sports. She tried out for volleyball
and basketball and made both teams.
Renae says, "I instantly fell in love
with the people at Bryan and after
my visit here, the decision to come
was easy."

As soon as Renae set foot on
campus as a freshmen, she began to
play volleyball, just as she had all
throughout high school.

Volleyball is not the only sport
Renae has been involved in. She
also played basketball in high school
and continued in her freshmen year
at Bryan.

What position does Renae play
on the team? Renae explains, "I play
just about any position that the
coach puts me in, except the setter.
I'm not really a 'superstar' player,

but I'm consistent wherever the
coach puts me."

Being on the volleyball team is
not Renae's only role in college. She
also holds the responsibilty of the
high course load required of all edu-
cation majors, plus she works as an
office assistant and an RA. Accord-
ing to Renae, "Managing your time
while being in a sport is hard to do,
as any athlete would tell you. I re-
ally like to be busy though, so I
guess it's pretty fun. I guess the key
to me not going crazy being an RA,
playing ball, and carrying a full
coarse load was figuring out what
my top priorities were and go from
there."

Renae has learned a lot through
having so many responsibilities.

Sweatin'
it out

Inexperience blocks
team's chance at
post season play

by Amy Lien

On August 14, a week before school
started the volleyball players came back
and endured a week of pre-season train-
ing. Freshman learned the one mile
around the school otherwise known as
the Maranatha Mile. The Triangle, the
dreaded sprints, and pool time workouts
made it easy to distinguish between the
players who had stuck with a summer
program and those who hadn't. As the
week wore on, heat exhaustion and
muscle aches were on everyone's mind,
but the week ended as soon as it came,
and minds were focused on the basics
and the never-ending drills.

It was time to show what kind
of talent was on the team. Each person
showed that she could contribute a piece
to the team. Four new freshman added
key elements: outside hitter Tara Barker,
middle blocker Amy Lien, setter Cheri
Stone, and back-row specialist Tina
Johnson. Now it was a matter of put-
ting all the pieces together.

Getting used to the people on a
team takes time, so starting off the sea-
son was a slow process. At times frus-
tration set in and many of the players
got discouraged that the outcome of a
game never fully showed how much of
an effort was put in. Younger players

didn't realize
how far the
team had come
from years be-
fore. Fans from
other schools
noticed,
though, and
commented that
Bryan volley-
ball was really
starting to be-
come a solid unit.

The volleyball team'sl6-17
record doesn't reflect the close fights in
five Lion's battles fought hard against
league rivals. Looking back on the year
Coach Jerri Beck stated that she was
"...very encouraged and proud of the
steps we took during the year both with
taking a step up with talent and charac-
ter. Simply because we were a young
team and it took
a lot of dicipline
to make a solid
unit."

"The
strong finish,
placing fourth
in TVAC, gives
the team some-
thing exciting
to anticipate for
next year. Beck
said. "It looks
like we are
headed in the
right direc-
tion!"

Individual honors went to

year cheering for both men's soccer and
basketball. The squad is faithfully and
vocally supports the Lions at every
home game, and they had the opportu-
nity to travel to many of the away games
this year.

They really felt the pressure
during the overlap of the soccer and
basketball seasons, yet they pulled
through for them both by making it to
the first men's basketball home game
and supporting the soccer team at all
three of their NCCAA nationals games
at Lee College. Sophomore Jeremy
Davidson fa member of the soccer
team) said, "Regardless of how we did
the cheerleaders continued to encour-
age us and kept our spirits up."

The members of the squad are:
Tracy Stone - Captain for the 2nd year,
Brooke Shepherd - Co-Captain for the
2nd year, Kristin Kocher, Christina
Day, Kristy Mattson. Liz Tidwell,
Shay Haynes, Elizabeth Clark - The
Lion, and Brad .Johnson.

The Cheerleaders keep them-
selves busy practicing two hours a
light, four nights a week working on

Cheerleaders pep up the crowd in the hopes of an-
other victory

Cheering for the Bryan Lions, Shay Haynes' spirit
demonstrates that "Dynamite comes in small pack-
ages!"

The cheerleading squad cheers on the Bryan soccer
team to lift up their spirits

new cheers and routines to keep the
crowd pumped during games. Their
work seems to pay off according to John
Maggard, "The Cheerleaders really
provide pep in those close games in
Summer's Gymnasium." The members
dI the squad also seem to find rewards
from the time they spend: Tracy Stone
says. "I've cheered sinee elementary

school and all four years here and even
though it's just an extra-curricular
activity, I'm really going to miss the ball
games and the girls that I've grown close
to." "Cheerleading is really not only a
great way to work out, but also a real
encouragement and a chance to uplift
each other," says Brooke Shepherd.

It's A

—Making it to the
Playoffs, that is.

by Mark Wegner

Finishing with an impressive 12-3-3 regu-
lar season record, the Lions won the district
again this year, shutting out Southern
Wesleyan College 4-0 and defeating Ander-
son 3-1.

Coach Sandy Zensen said of the sea-
son, "This was definitely a stronger team—
and more talented; next year's team looks
just as good, if not better."

The Lions won some big games in the
season, and many players earned honors.
They fought to a scoreless tie with Cov-
enant, a team that has beaten them every
year. Nationally ranked Lee was another
tough opponent standing in the Lions' way,
but the Red and Gold defeated the Flames
2-1. Another memorable tie was the
Tusculum game, a rain drencher at home,
which wound up in at 2-2.

Brandon Lorenzon led the Lions with
20 goals for the season and Mattie Davies
added 12.

Junior defender Claudio Arias also
made headlines when he was sidelined for
the rest of the season with a broken leg dur-
ing a contest at University of Alabama
Huntsville. The senior sweeper plans to re-

TVAC Coach
of the Year

by Gayle Couch

After leading the Lions through another
winning season Dr. Sandy Zensen was
honored at the NCAA National Tourna-
ment at Lee College by receiving the

turn to the playing field next year.

In addition to losing the veteran back
field player just as his teammate, and brother,
Felipe got healthy and was about to make
the Lion defense invincible, two big disap-
pointments for the Lions were the homecom-
ing loss to Martin Meredith and losing in
the tournament.

Zensen was disappointed that they
failed to advance in the tournament. They
were the second seed going in. But he said,
"Just to get there makes you a winner, no
matter how you play" They finished 8th
overall, and Zensen was named NCCAA Di-
vision I Coach of the Year. Along with the
Lions outstanding play was their outstand-
ing attitude. They were recognized for "true
good sportsmanship" by the Southeastern In-
tercollegiate Soccer Officials Association.
The award is not given out annually; it is
only given out to a team that especially dis-
plays excellent sportsmanship in their play.

award for Coach of the Year.

Coach Zensen has been with
Bryan for six years now and has never

failed to show his superiority as a coach.
Although he balances several full-time
type jobs he still manages to give 100%
of himself in each area. There is no
doubt about how much he cares for his
players as he integrates his faith with his
coaching. Freshman Matt Young stated
that, "Pretty much all the guys I've
talked to think he's the best coach."
Bryan College is looking forward to
more seasons with the touch that only
Coach Zensen can give.

Individual honors went to Davies,
who was named first team TVAC, first team
NCCAA All-American, and was on NC-
CAA All-District Team 2 along with
Davidson, Arias, Lorenzen, and Eck.
Davidson and Eck were also named NC-
CAA All-Americans.

The Bryan's Women's Soccer Team has
shown serious commitment to practice
though facing many challenges on the field.
They have proven themselves to have a
strong team spirit of cooperation and have
held true to their faith in the Lord. Melissa

pressure on the girls, but always encouraged
them to do their best and allowed them to
see the good in themselves. His sacrifices
have finally paid off as next year a dream is
turning into a: because the Lady Lion's Soc-

Susie Warren,

forever grateful
for Coach's com-
mitment to us."

Many memo-
ries were made
during the season
as the team was
presented with the
opportunity of playing many big colleges
and some division 1 teams. Some of the
highlight games were against UTK, UTC,
Ohio State, University of Alabama at Hunts-
ville, and the Homecoming game. Perhaps
the memory most of the girls will hold.

though, is when they went to Nocalula Fall;
before the game against University of Ala-
bama at Huntsville. They were walking ir
a park and stopped at a waterfall, where the)
were introduced to the legend behind the
waterfall. The legend is of An Indian pnn

that instead of mar-

women's soccer
team began the tra-
dition of saying "1-
2 - 3 . . .
NOCALULA" be-
fore the start of the second half of each
game. They started this tradition because
they expressed the opinion that they were
willing to sacrifice themselves for the love
of soccer and the love of the Lord.

POINT AFTER

What's in a name?

How would a team change according to it's motto?

by John Stonestreet

The stands are just about full for the deciding
game. The winner goes on to the playoffs; the losers
hang up the uniforms for the year. On the floor of
Summer's, the visiting team is huddled around their
bench discussing last minute issues as the last of the
Bryan Lion starters is introduced and takes his place in
the mid-court huddle. The crowd prepares for what is
to follow, the game, of course. Then, practically oblivious to
all the spectators in the building, just like every other game, it
happens. It appears to be nothing new, so no one takes special
notice. Anticipating the iminent contest, it goes without
acknowledgement that a small group of guys just made a ver-
bal commitment in the presence of a couple hundred witnesses
to an Almighty God. The words just seemed to flow. They
were the same words that had been said every other time right
before tip-off. It isn't really accurate to call it a commitment
is it? Those aren't words to the Heavenly Father, are they?
Commitments are made at "spiritual times," right? It's more
of an expression of team unity through the use of a motto,
don't you think? I mean, every team has a motto, don't they?
Ours just happens to be "All For Him."

How many times did I turn that commitment to my
Savior into a hollow waste of breath this past season? How
many times did the utterance of that catchy little phrase have
no bearing in how I chose to represent that "Him?" When the
man 1 was attempting to guard scored, as he told me all about
it. could he see Christ in my reaction? Or as the referee blew
yet another call, did I react as Jesus would have? How about
that extra hard illegal screen that I set, or that unnoticed retali-
tion to a cheap shot, or that disapproving glance at Coach's
substitution for me? Did I hold to my commitment? No, as
the game began, that phrase would all too often be placed on
the backburner as I dealt with what was "important" at the
moment, winning and saving face-not necessarily in that or-
der.

Every athletic team at Bryan has their own motto, and
SVery athlete at Bryan has probably claimed a motto at one
time or another. It is real easy to approve of these mottos and
BVCT1 easier to claim them as our own, but what is their signifi-
cance to Christian athletes'.' Shall we not suppose that these

placements are nothing less than Divine appointments,
just as Esther was placed in the king's household "for
such a time as this"? I realize that the analogy between
college athletics and the slaughter of the Jewish nation
may seem a bit presumptuous, but is our God not
soveriegn? Are the souls of another university's ath-
letes not as significant as the souls of those sought out
by PCI and Break for Change? Does the factor of a different
shade of uniform eliminate our responsibility as proclaimers
of God's redemptive plan? Does the ridiculous, purposeful
failure of a referee warrant overlooking the way Christ ignored
our infinite failures as He died for us? The cost of forgiving
the zebra versus the cost of forgiving the "sins of the world?"
Result: NO CONTEST.

Athletics is a unique gift to the growing Christian. Prac-
tically every situation in life is dealt with at a smaller scale in
the course of a season. Whether being down two sets to none
in a best of five match, or experiencing a monumental win as
the ball finds the back of the net in the final minute of the dis-
trict finals; whether your closest friend on the team fails to
make the grades to play second semester or the backup to your
position is the exact opposite personality type of you; whether
the coach sees fit to bench you or you miss the buzzer beater to
send your team into the playoffs, the mountains and valleys of
athletics are in most cases a miniature model of the mountains
and valleys of life. The crazy thing is that the same God made
them both and ordained them in the lives of Bryan College
athletes. A man named Oswald Chambers once said that the
characteristics we show in our present surroundings are very
good indications of what we will be like in other surroundings.
Yet, this does not make our present surroundings a "practice
run" for the real thing. It is our responsibility to prove faithful
where we are at now.

Next year will come, with new faces on new teams with
new mottos. They will be catchy little phrases that will contain
severe implications of surrender and commitment to God for
the truly interested. As his Lions, may we never entertain fears
of losing, but only fears of winning at something that doesn't
matter.

Change in the Norm

Break For Change f}

(by Quinton Kocher J

Break for Change, Bryan
College's assignment to short-term
mission projects, gave around 50
people the opportunity to put them-
selves in a position of complete
servanthoocl for God. Preparation and
prayer began early in the fall semes-
ter and when Spring Break arrived,
the plan was underway.

The first group of ten left Bryan's
sleeping campus and headed for the
island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.
En route to their objective, the team
made stops in Atlanta, Miami, and
Nassau before arriving in Eleuthera.
On the island, they met with some
members of Woodland park Baptist
Church and got aquainted. Something
else our students got aquainted with
was the th fact that their initial plan
was not exactly the same as God's.
They had intended to begin construct-
ing a church in an area known as
James Cistern but the resources were
not readily available. Brad fox said,
"It was like God wadded up our itiner-
ary and threw it out the window." So
with a few adjustments, the team be-
gan their ministery attending church
and school services and conducting
their own programs of worship and
testimony. They shared The Wordless
Book with the natives who were ap-
preciative and interested to learn. Near
the end of the week some supplies
were provided and the team was able
to do some constructing. It had be-
come clear that God's purpose for
them being there was primarily shar-

of culinary cooking.

ing His Word and physical labor was
secondary. During their time in
Eleuthera the team was blessed by see-
ing individual lives changed and often
it was some of their own.

The second team of 1 0 students
with Dr. and Mrs. Fouts left on Satur-
day for Jamaica, where the team would
be the third annual Bryan group to do
service at the Caribbean Christian Cen-
ter for the deaf. Our own graduate,
Randy Gilbert, welcomed the team and
helped to get them settled in at the
campus for deaf children where school
buildings were in their beginning
stages. The Jamaica team spent their
daylight hours working from below the
ground, up, digging holes and con-
structing fondation for a dormitory. At
the week's end there was visual evi-
dence of their labor in the concrete
corners and pillars which were
erected, part of God's reward in tan-
gible form. During spare time the team
interacted with the deaf childeren,
where the language of love was often
the only means of communication. The
members of the Jamaica team will ex-
press their fulfillment in two basic
ways. God allowed them to affect His
project in labor and He caused them
to be affected by the love they shared
with the Jamaican people.

The third team of 12 students
and Dr. Lestmann made their way to
the chilly urban streets of New York
City. The first leg of their project had
the team visisting a shelter known as
St. Paul's, where they only spent one
day doing odd jobs. Next, it was four
days living at Emmaus house, a ref-
uge of sorts for recovering alcoholics,
drug-addicts, ex-criminals, and home-
less. The team's responsibilities var-
ied from repairing house structures
to serving food in the kitchen. The

people they had contact with were of-
ten the less fortunate of New York's
dwellers. They learned that the home-
less and underprivileged were people
just like themselves, with histories and
futures, and the difference was the in
the life-cicumstances. With their spare
time, the NewYork team saw the city
and its offerings: the subway, crowded
streets, and neon lights.

The last team of 1 2 women, lead
be Natalie Cruver, went to serve the
Lord in the hills of Appalachia, Ten-
nessee. The actual name of the area
is Altamont, and the majority of the
work was done at a camp for youth
which needed some repair. The
women worked with a group who ran
the camp during the summer and who
began to refer affectionately to their
help as Bryan's Women's College.
After the team had worked at the camp
for two days, they went into the com-
munity, visiting specified residences
and helping out in whatever way was
necessary. One women simply wanted
someone to talk to and it was this type
of interaction that fueled the team's

fire. After two days in the community,
the women returned to Dayton early,
in an attempt to flee a snow storm.
They were successful in returning
safely and just as this team was
granted safety from God, the other
three teams arrived back at school
sound and sure that the Lord's hand
had been on them. ©

^J Senior Adult Ministeries

A learning experienece.

Bryan Students bring joy to
the elderly as they recieve
something back (S^h^hed

Senior Adult Ministry (SAM) is
an outreach to the elderK in the
nursing homes. Junior Jennifer
Wilson is the president of SAM.
E\er\ week Br\an students zoom
off to the senior centers and nurs-
ing homes in the Dayton area,
ministering and sharing the love
of God with them. The students
there are a ministry in of itself.
Manx of the elderly are too weak
to read and too weak to walk. To
have someone just to talk to ev-
ery week is a big encouragement.

Some of the activities include
singing, playing the piano, and
storvtelling, which old folks know
hov\ to do better than anyone
else. They pass on decades of
wisdom, sharing stories of les-
sons the\ had learned while they

were growing up. The elderly also
told how much they enjoyed the
visits and how much their weeks
were brightened from them. They
also love to hear old hymns, so
those studying piano can work on
their skills.

SAM is much more than an
outreach to the elderly; it is also
an outreach to the students. Stu-
dents were able to gain wisdom
from what their elder friends had
learned, and it gave them a re-
freshing break from the business
of student life. "A lot of times we
come to encourage them, but it is
us who feel encouraged when we
leave," sophomore Andrew
Heathershawsaid. It is a reward-
ing experience for anyone who is
involved.*©

Planting seeds in Rhea County kids . . .

Thursday morning mayhem
yields eternal results @ ^ ****)

Over 1 00 Bryan students be-
came teachers in B.E.M., Bible
Education Ministries, to teach
God's word to the school-aged
kids in Rhea County . In a time
span of about eight minutes, 30
cars speed down Bryan hill to
reach their destination. "At times
it is mass chaos, but God has
blessed us; we reach probably
2000 kids and it's a neat thrill to
be a part," said senior Brian
Carden, who was president of
BEM last year. Melissa Carson
now takes on the large leader-
ship role, for B.E.M. is not any
small task.

There are the lesson plans,
the assigning of Bible stories to
all the students, and the creativ-
ity needed of each student to re-
late the story in an interesting
way. Many act out a Bible story
to get the kids interested. Sing-
ing songs such as "My God is so

Big," flannel graphs, memo-
rizing verses, and drawing pic-
tures on the chalkboard are
also part of the teacher's rep-
ertoire to get the kids involved.

To the kids, B.E.M. is es-
sentially a story hour for them.
They look forward to it every
Thursday morning and often
give B.E.M. teachers a warm
hug after they finish their
lesson. Sophomore Kathleen
Hicks said, "They enjoy it be-
cause it's not schoolwork and
they can pick up our excite-
ment." But there is afar more
important goal than just the
teaching aspect.

The goal of B.E.M. is to give
the kids a foundation of the
Bible when they leave.
Carden said, "Just telling them
a Bible story plants a seed that
we will never see prosper. But
down the road they will say

'Yeah, I learned that from my
B.E.M. teacher." It takes time,
effort, and creativity on the
part of the students involved,
but the end results of receiv-
ing a hug and seeing smiles
on the kids' faces afterwards
can be a very rewarding ex-
perience. ®

Although it is the smallest
ministry in PCI, the tutoring pro-
gram allows students to build some
of the most personalized relation-
ships possible. After matching
Dayton area children with Bryan
College stuclentswho are proficient
in subject areas, class schedules
must be coordinated to find a meet-
ing time. Bryan students meet for
an hour each week with children
in grades 1 through 6 from Day-
ton City, Frazier, and Graysville El-
ementary Schools. While some stu-
dents require overall encourage-
ment in all subjects, many need
specialized help with reading,
grammar, or math. PCI primarily
seeks long-term positions for the
tutors, providing them with a
wonderful opportunity to minister
to the children throughout the
school year.

Being a tutor is a rewarding
experience for both teacher and

pupil. Bryan students enjoy shar-
ing their knowledge with local chil-
dren as well as the chance to build
relationships that will last. The kids
may not be crazy about doing
homework, but they certainly love
to spend time with Bryan students.
The encouragement and support
they receive motivates them to do
well in school so that they can
proudly show their tutor their im-
proved test grades.

Freshman Amy Nace taught
math lo a sixth grade girl and she
said that she really had to learn
patience. "It was hard to accom-
plish what you wanted to when (the
kids) weren't as focused," Amy
commented. The momentary set-
backs did not daunt Amy or any of
the other tutors, however. The ac-
complishments of their pupils
clearly show that they were both
effective teachers and positive in-
fluences on the lives of these Day-
ton children. ^

PALS serving the community as friends and...

PALS

Heroes to a Child

(by Joy Motte J

What comes to mind when
you hear PALS? Do you think
of friends you have had for
what seems an eternity? Or do
you think of the ministry that
Pratical Christian Involvement
and Bryan College? If you
answered "yes" to any of the
above, you have hit the nail on
the head. This is what PALS is
all about.

But, if you look at the whole
picture, you will not see any of
us being pals to those on
campus; although we do. This
ministry goes to the children
who may not have any one to
go to. Just think how you
would have felt, as a child,
when you came back from
school after failing that test
you worked so hard on and
did not have any one to talk to.

It would not feel very good.
PALS is here to help bridge
that gap.

Those that are PALS often
interact with these children for
all the time they are at Bryan.
They may play games, go to
the movies, or out to eat, or
simply spend a day together at
Bryan. This interaction is
popular with the Kids that they
are ministering to. That is why
it is a very important part of the
many showcases that PCI has
to offer. PALS like other parts
of PCI is about reaching out to
the community. It takes a lot to
being a PAL. And even though
it doesn't seem to be a very
glamorous job, the people that
they are reaching out to look
up to them as they were their
heros. #

Many times Tina Godsmark spends her
free time playing with her pal and getting
to know her better.

One of the things Randy Evans loves to
do is spend time with his pal because he
says it, "makes me feel like a kid again!"

to kids in the Rhea county
schools. Every Thursday morn-
ing, the Gimpers group hauls
their trunk of puppets, pvc pipe,
curtian, tapes and sound equip-
ment into vans. Then they give
their performance to eager, wait-
ing kids. There are two Gimper
groups-one for kindegarten up to
third grade and one for third
grade to sixth. They go to a dif-
ferent BEM class each week.

In order for these puppeteers
to be successful, they must mas-
ter five basic rules of thumb
(thumb in the literal sense of the
word!). Not only must they make
their puppets have good lip sync

coordination, but they must make
them have good mouth action,
have eye contact with the audi-
ence, maintain a straight posture,
and make them look like walking
up and down stair steps when
they enter and exit. These are
the five basics to learning pup-
petry.

Once a week, these dedicated
Bryan puppeteers practice mak-
ing the movements of the little
four-fingered, Felt-covered,
friends look as real and natural
as possible. They use pre-re-
corded tapes and practice in front
of a mirror on the wall in the PCI
hallway. Although hours of prac-
tice leads to only a short ten to
fifteen minute performance, the
Gimpers team always brings a
smile to the kid's faces. ©

Practice makes perfect is the motto
for the Gimpers team.

time is put into Gimpers.

Sweat equity yeilds eternal profit

by Ben Simpson )

Backward Missions is a minis-
rv of PCI. The purpose of Backyard
lissions is to reach out to the com-
riunitv through community service
or the cause of spreading the love
if Christ. Activities in the past have
overed a wide variety of events, in-
cluding any odd jobs for needy
lomes.

On Saturday, March 23, tvventy-
our students signed up to volunteer,
he largest group ever. Part of the
itudents assisted an elderly widow
\ith \ard work that she was inca-
jable of attending to.

The rest of the group worked at
he Sunbeam Center, a non-profit
jrganiztion that provides daycare for
jisabled and foster children, and the
children of high school mothers. All
ai the work at the center is done vol-
untarilv , and there is no funding for
janitorial or maintainance work. The
group from Backyard Missions
painted, mopped, scrubbed, waxed,
washed, vacuumed, organized, and
cleaned.

The final project was on Satur-
day, March 30. Twelve students
were completing the painting of a
home which was begun this past
fall, and the weather had not per-
mitted it to be completed until re-
cently. Freshman Crystal Turner
commented about the project, "The
best part of the last mission was
watching Joy Woodcock minister to
Richard, the son of the family. After
we left, we were informed that he
accepted Christ."

Woodcock added, "We want to
follow up on him (Richard). We need
a guy to go out and be a friend and
mentor to him."

Woodcock has appreciated
everyone's participation in the
project and said, "The Lord has an-
swered tons of prayers, especially in
the past few weeks. He's just shown
His faithfulness and power, and it's
been very exciting to see."

Hilltop Players: Not Just Playing Around

"I want people to think of the
Hilltop Players as being excellence
and quality in performing arts," said
Mr. Bernie Belisle, the sponsor of the
Hilltop Players. This year has been a
year of creative productions for the
Hilltop Players. Four plays were
performed for the student body and
general populace, two of which were
student directed.

The main fall production, Neil
Simon's "Lost in Yonkers," directed
by Bernie Belisle and Student Assis-
tant Sara Beth Nordmoe, depicted an
emotionally crippled family in 1942.
Grandma Kurnitz, played by Erin
Bryant, and her 35 year old retarded
daugher, played by Tracy Stone, live
in an apartment in Yonkers. Grandma
Kurnitz 's son, Eddie, played by Chris
Fickley, drops his two sons, Walker
Haynes and Tim McGhee, off to live
with their grandma because he is in
debt and need to take an extended trip.
The plot thickens and the family
experiences very emotional and trying

situations as they try to discover who
they are.

The student-directed plays,
"The Red Shoes," directed by Tracy
Stone, and "The Valiant," directed by
Walker Haynes, were a big success
which were enjoyed by all those who
attended. "The Red Shoes" was about
an evil gypsy, played by Brian Ward,
who tricked a Dutch village girl,
Brooke Shepherd, into putting on
magical wooden shoes that made
whoever wore them dance, and they
could not stop. Finally, Jemmo,
played by Brad Barrick, helped her by
betraying his master and getting the
shoes off. "The Valiant," directed by
Walker Haynes, was about a man,
Dave Mundy, who was arrested for
possiblly murdering a man. He was
caught between the warden, Alan
Smith, who felt he was guilty and
deserved execution, and the minister,
Nick Daniels, who didn't think he
should be executed and always gave
him encouragement. One day, his

Thornton Wilder's ''Our

about life, love, and marriage in the

the (jibbses and the Webbs, living in
this town. George Gibbs, played by

Forensics: An oppurtunity to express yourself

(by Sacheen Harding)

Communication takes on many
forms and one of the most dra-
matic would be that of forensics.
As an intramural competition it
encourages students to overcome
their stage fright and perform in
a variety of ways. If you like to
roll up your sleeves, get down to
the facts, and engage in a head
to head discussion, debate would
be your thing. Prose or poetry
can lull your heart with a rhythm
and rhyme of it's own. Careful
preparation as well as the ability
to think fast on your feet would
aid your efforts in the informative
and extemporaneous speech cat-
egories. Dramatic duo brings the
opportunity for interaction on a
theatrical level. Scripture read-
ings provide a chance to convey
the truth of God's Word. But the
most honored tradition in the fo-
rensics competition is the read-
ing of excerpts from William Jen-
nings Bryan's "The Cross of Gold"
speech.

Every semester one morning
chapel is set aside for forensics
as well as performances given in
the evenings. Participants from
all four classes go head to head
in an intramural competition in
an effort to boost their class
points. But for some it is not just
an attempt to gain points but an
opportunity to express themselv
through the literary works c: oth-
ers or through words of their own.
From the amusing words of prose
interpretation to the political is-
sues touched by debate, it should
be known that forensics is not just
for the benefit of the performer.
For the casual listener, forensics
union has provided entertainment
as well as deep thoughts and con-
victions.

Sophomore Matthew Hargraves
did double duty this year by per-
forming parts of " The Cross of
Gold" speech at forensics compe-
tition and again on Heritage day.
Honoring the man that Bryan Col-

lege was founded on, this classic
speech was given at the Demo-
cratic Convention one year when
Bryan was running for president.
Every year this category is per-
formed with dedication and pas-
sion as the participants attempt
to catch the fervor which drove
Bryan's heart in this issue.

This year the seniors won the
forensics competition followed
closely by the sophomore class,
third went to the juniors and the
freshman were in fourth place. All
of the participants spent time an
effort to perform to the best of
their ability. But regardless of
who won and who lost, the focus
should be on our Lord Jesus
Christ. This was best stated by
William Jennings Bryan "A ser-
mon may be answered: the argu-
ments presented in a speech may
be disputed, but no one can an-
swer a Christian life-it is the un-
answerable argument. <©

strike a pose, for hippie day.

Elisa Ruiz enjoys the newly re-
finished pool table that SGA pro-
vided.

This is the first year for the Stu-
dent Government Association that
was introduced by former Senate
President Brian Warren and the First
SGA President Willy Sofield. Many
things changed with the initiation of
the New Student Government. It took
care of areas of student life that were
ignored by the former Student Union
and Senate. This way there is more
of a check and balance.

The SGA is set up with an Ex-
ecutive President with an on-cam-
pus vice-president and a off-campus
vice-president. A secretary and trea-
surer are then appointed. This way
the structure has one president over
everything instead of a double struc-
ture with no clear person in charge.
With both an on-campus v.p. and a
off-campus v.p. there is more of a
chance to see progress on Bryan
College campus while activities are
still being done off campus. This all

goes on while the president orches-
trates it all together into one.

Senior Brent Campbell was
voted for the Off-Campus Vice-Presi-
dent. He worked for all of the activi-
ties that were off campus. These
entaled an excursion to Hamilton
Place where students could watch
the movie "The Toy Story," a trip to
Racoon Mountain to go down the
Alpine Slides, and a day at Six Flags.

The On-Campus V.P. Matt Jones
was behind the scenes with the new
jukebox in the den, the rejeuvenated
pool tables, and the constant supply
of ping pong paddles to replace the
ones that are always broken. Jones
also did the foot work involved with
the lip sync\movie night which fea-
tured hits such as The Jackson Five
to Boyz II Men and the Lion from the
The Wizard of OZ to the Thin Mints.
Afterwards students wearily took in
a Pizza and a movie after a jam

packed weekend caused by
Junior\Senior and Six Flags.

Both Campbell and Jones op-
erated under the leadership of
Willy Sofield, who had to keep
tabs on all the aspects that SGA
has to offer, from replacing a
ping pong paddle to admending
the constitution for the college.

Next year Allison Hobson will
serve as student body Executive
President, while Rachel Crumpler
is Off-Campus V.P. and Chris
Fickley is On-Campus V.P. Allison
appointed Julia Bruehl as the
Secretary and Jeremy Cheon as
the Treasurer. Jeff Paulson will
serve as Chaplain. "I'm excited
about next year's activities: I got
some great input from the stu-
dent body that is encouraging me
that the students will enjoy the
activities I'm planning," says
Rachel Crumpler. <©

Extra Extra: More Than a Yearbook

by Sarah Hurley

Deadlines, all-nighters, early
mornings, and stress are what year-
book is all about. Editors meet Tues-
day afternoons at 1 pm with their
sponsor, "Queen" Karin Carpenter.
She dictates responsibilities for pages,
layouts, and copy to poor, unsuspect-
ing students.

The yearbook staff, which
meets on Thursday night at 6:30, has
fun with design, copy, laying out
countless pages, spending hours in the

dark room, and experiencing computer
nightmares as the system crashes and
articles are lost forever in the wonder-
ful world of unrecoverable memory.
But, of course, this only happens right
before a deadline.

The staff has shared many
experiences together through times of
bonding and of stressing with each
other. Editors Tim Lien and Melinda
Snead were often livening the work
hours up with sarcasm and flirting.
Editor Ben Simpson just sat back,
mellowed and calm, and did not let
any problems stress him out. Meet-
ings were also livened up with Kelly

Griffis' sarcastically keen sense of wil
and humor.

Even outside the classroom
you could see staff members inter-
viewing others for yearbook articles,
or you might run into Jeff Paulson
with his ever-faithful camera, always
ready to catch the action on campus.
As the year progressed, weekends
became known for pizza workdays to
meet upcoming deadlines, or to catch
up on those that had already passed.

Yearbook has been a learning
experience I will never forget, and it
has helped me with... well, what? I
don't know. ty

Late Nights Lead to Success

by Sarah Hurley

Outside of their weekly
classtime each Monday night, the
Triangle Staff meets bi-weekly on
Tuesday nights around 1 1 p.m. to hold
production meetings. They work as a
team in editor and production groups
to put together a paper so Bryan
College students and faculty will be
able to open their mailboxes and read
about current campus news. It is
characteristic to find the staff at their
Monday night small group meetings
shuffling through papers to try to find
lost articles or misplaced pictures.

Sponsor Ladonna Olson and
Editor-in-chief Tracy Stone have a
hard time keeping the staff on sched-
ule. It has become expected for BC
students to get late night phone calls
asking for quotes for the next day's
edition. After late production nights,
early mornings, layouts, brainstorm-
ing, and working around computer
problems which are usually solved
somewhere in the early morning hours
by Editor Serge Yurovsky, it is easy to
tell who is on staff. Their red eyes and
grouchy faces give them away in their
morning classes (if they ever show up
to class!)

hard all year to record memories and

The Bryan College
chorale is a very busy
group which plays a
big role in the enter-
tainment part of Bryan life. Fall
semester the chorale numbered
well over 70 members. This year
under the direction of Dr. David
Luther, Fall semester was
devoted to the learning of the
masterful composition Brahms
Requiem. Dr. Luther says it was
one of the most difficult chorale
pieces ever created, and also
very difficult to conduct. It was
first performed as a joint choir
consisting of UTC Chorale,
Bryan chorale, and the choir at
First Presbyterian Church of
Chattanooga under the direction
of Glenn Draper. Dr. David
Luther was the baritone soloist,

Travelling to many different
churches to perform was a
major commitment of being in
the Chorale.

and Dr. Sigrid Luther was one of
two accompanists on the piano.
The B.C. chorale repeated the
concert as the solo chorale
along with several alumni
singers here at Rudd Audito-
rium. They were accompanied
by the melodious sound of the
Chattanooga Symphony. It was
a wonderful experience for all

involved both performers and
listeners.

Right before semester break they
were also involved in the annual
Christmas program which has been
a favorite activity of many area
residents.

Second semester proved even
more exciting than first. Spring
touring chorale consisted of 40
members. In late February, they
recorded eight songs. March first
they left for Colorado where they
toured all over the state, ministering
in various places including churches,
schools, Focus on the Family, and the
Air Force Academy. They had a very
effective ministry there and also were
able to spread "PR" for Bryan
College. The Bryan College Chorale
has had a very busy and enjoyable

What else do the RAs do besides
confront? One major thing that all
RAs do is the nightly ritual called all-
in. Every night, all the RAs go from
room to room making sure the people
are in there respective dorms. If
someone is not in the dorm, the RAs
make sure the student has late per.

Besides all-in, an RA also does
one weekly ritual: STRICT ROOM.
This is where resident students must
have their rooms free of all dust, dirt,
scattered articles, and unmade beds.

But, being an RA is not all about
making sure the rules are enforced.
RAs are also responsible to hold floor
meetings, where business is taken care
of, and events on the hall is planned.
Often, RAs plan floor parties at the

end of a semester, or during the
middle of the semester, or any other
time when a break is needed.

An RA is also responsible for
helping to deal with roommate con-
flicts and individual counceling.

Finally, all RAs do have the job
of confronting us when we go astray.
This is not a pleasant job because it
often involves confronting friends,
and always involves bringing down
the various consequences such as
points, cash fines, or vocal repri-
mands.

The next time you are confrontec
by an RA, do not lose heart. Rather
realize that they are here to guide us
and to help us. We need to give them
the respect they deserve. After all,
they are people just like us, and you
may be an RA in the future. ^

Wour home is more than just wood and
shingles. It's a haven. A place to raise your
family. Shape their values. A place to return to.

That's why we put so much of ourselves into
our work. So you always have that special place
to go home to.

To us. it's more than a just a sale. It's a way
of life.

who know

the value of a HOME!

New group tours parents, students around BC

by Sarah Hurley

)

Ambassadors? For the first
time in recent years Bryan College
Admissions has developed an ambas-
sador program. Ambassadors' primary
function is to give tours to prospective
students and parents. Ambassador
Robin Olive says "Ambassadors are
role models: they arc an example of
what students here arc like and have a
rcponsibility of living up to Biblical
standards to show others what BC is

all about."

Ambassadors arc easily recog-

nized in their eye catching green shirts
and khakis. Only a select few are
chosen to be an ambassador. This year
36 students were contacted about
becoming an ambassador but only 19
of those were chosen. Ambassador
Rachel Crumpler says, "I've really
enjoyed being able to talk to prospec-
tive students... and share what BC
means to me."

Ambassadors primary respon-
sibilities are to: aquaint prospective
students and parents to BC, lead
campus tours, arrange housing for
visitors, and help run Caravan week-
ends.

It is quite obvious what an

important and effective role ambassa-
dors play in recruiting prospective
students to Bryan College. They truly
play an important role in shaping what
Bryan College will become in the
future.

A big thanks to this years
ambassadors for a job well done:

launched a "get

campaign this spring.
The television ads
began with Ronald
McDonald playing
golf and dancing in a
club and while
observers noted,
"He sure has grown
up." The culmina-

tion of the
hype was a new
sandwich: THE

— a quarter pound
amburger with cracked
pepper, real onion slices,
lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cheese
a new special sauce, ketchup
on a sour dough roll (bacon
optional).

The U.S. Treasury
Department issued a newly
designed $100 bill in 1996.
The new bill has an oversized,
off-center likeness of Ben
Franklin, green/black ink that
changes color depending on the
angle at which you look at it,
and a special watermark.

Although their were rumors to
the contrary the new biWDOES
have the phrase "IN GOD
WE TRUST." Because of its
unusual appearance the bill is
supposedly nearly impossible to
counterfeit. But its strange, new
look has also cause merchants
around the country to refuse the
currency, thinking it was fake.

O U.S. Commerce Secretary
Ron Brown and a plane full of

Yugasovian government on the
long road to financial stability.
O In May a ValueJet passenger
plane went down in the Florida
Everglades only minutes after it

A bloodied GOP prepares for
the Big Battle in November

he Republican Party was

a "house divided against it-
self" for much of the primary
season. While Democrats
settled in happily and
watched, three of perhaps the
most disparate candidates in
GOP history began their bids
for the party's nod.

U.S. Senate Majority
Leader, Bob Dole, an aging
veteran politician, was the
front runner and final victor.
Doubters questioned his age,
his "Old-style Politics," and
his affiliation with controver-
sial Newt Gingrich.

Among the other eight reg-
istered contenders, only Pat
Buchanan and Steve Forbes
gave Dole any real challenge
Locals pulled for the
red-and-black-check
ered, former Tennes
see governor Lamar
Alexander, but after
failing to win any
state primaries,

he withdrew from the race.

Forbes, the multi-million-
aire who inherited the Forbes
publishing empire, had one
true issue — The Flat Tax —
as the answer to all of
America's problems. While
political veterans discounted
the rookie politician, he took
a nice slice of the Republi-
can pie.

Buchanan, a political
commentator and former
speech writer for President
Nixon, had thrown his hat
into the ring in '92, but was
a far more serious threat in
'96. Buchanan's unorthodox
style and ultra- conservative,
isolationist message played
well across the nation. He
conceded the race a few
days before it became
clear that Dole would
win enough del-
egates to become
the GOP's candi-
date.

APITOL CAPER

□ Party posturing and disputes over
some appropriations led to a government
shut down when the President and the
House failed to agree on a budget for the
1996 year. While some government
agencies ran as usual due to "emergency
status," government employees in areas
such as national parks, museums, were
jobless for months.

□ The "Line Item Veto" was passed into
law this year, giving the President the
ability to eliminate individual items from
a bill before signing it.

□ Hillary Clinton took the stand to
defend her part in Whitewater, the
Arkansas land development the Clintons
launched with partners Jim and Susan
McDougal in 1978. President Clinton's

statements were entered

via video tape.
^ ^ ^ □ President Clinton

struck a hard blow to pro-
lifers by vetoing the bill, which would
have made late term abortions illegal
except when the health of the mother
was in danger.

□ After months of debate Congress
passed o two-step plan to raise the
minimum wage from S4.25/hr to 5.15/
hr by July 1997.

Explosive Justice!

Horrified by their acts of violence,

the nation now waits for these
suspects to be sentenced to death.

TED KACZYNSKI

Suspected Unabomber
& author of the Una-
bomber's Manifesto

A f I A hen the Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed last April the entire nation felt violated. This violence in America's
^^^ Heartland left everyone feeling angry and exposed. President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno tried to reassure
the public with the promise that they would seek the death penalty and be sure that the criminal(s) were brought to justice. As
evidence mounted it soon became apparant that the U.S. would be seeking justice against Timothy McVeigh, a Vietnam vet
disillusioned with America. Within a few months it seemed that the FBI's long search for another violent dissenter, the Una-
bomber, was at an end. Ted Kaczynski was taken into custody this spring after his family called the FBI. Kazynski is suspected of
sending nearly a dozen mail bombs over a period of 18 years and killing 2 people. His explosive messages were mainly targeted
at universities and airlines, but a timber lobbyist and an ad executive were among his victims.

More than 4 months after it began, afternoon real-
life drama viewers saw the verdict handed down

FLASHBACKS:

■ A white Ford Bronco
leading a police chase

■ The assembling of the
"Dream Defense Team" led
by F. Lee Bailey and Johnny
Cochran

■ Simpson trying on the "too
tight" murder gloves

■ Prosecution witness Police
Detective Mark Fuhrman,
whose credibility was de-
stroyed when he lied under
oath about racial epithets

■ The Toninght Show's
parody of the presiding
judge: 'The Dancing Itos"

On October 3, 1995, students crowded around the TV in the
Lion's Den awaiting the verdict of the 133-day O.J. Simpson
murder trial. As the suspense built that afternoon, students
stood silently glued to the TV, forgetting classes and other
commitments. ^

Commentators speculated on the speed with which the jury
returned to the courtroom. While America waited, analysts
tried to weigh the clues they had been given: short delibera-
tion, what parts of the trial transcripts the jury asked for,
which evidence they re-examined. But soon their guesses
were silenced as the court official read the verdict: NOT
GUILTY. Almost in unison students expelled the breath that
they hadn't realized they were holding. Some sighed In relief,
other reacted with disbelief or even disgust.

After many months of media coverage, the "Trial of the
Century" was now a chapter in history.
