Lest  We  Forge 


A  New  Attitude 

Brings  a  Year 

of  Change 


Union's  chemistry  lab  is  3  prime  example  of  the  col 
lege's  dedication  to  academic  excellence.  Here  keith 
Sparkman  teams  first  hand  the  techniques  of  a  scien- 


Oh  What  a  Year!  The  1987- 
1988  school  year  was  a  year  of 
change,  a  year  of  new  atti- 
tudes, a  year  of  expansion,  a 
year  of  accomplishment,  a 
great  year!  The  school  year 
was  brought  in  with  a  new 
president  —  Hyran  E.  Barefoot 
was  inaugurated  as  the  four- 
teenth president  of  Union  Uni- 
versity on  October  16,  1987. 
And  with  the  new  president 
came  a  new  attitude!  No  long- 
er is  Union  looking  back  to  its 
history,  resting  on  its  heritage. 
Instead  Union  is  looking  to  the 
future,  preparing  for  tomor- 
row's world.  This  change  in  at- 
titude is  portrayed  in  the 
change  in  the  Union  logo  from 
the  traditional  two  U's  on  the 
Bible  foundation  to  the  new, 
more  modern  Union  logo. 
Both  these  logos  were  placed 
on  this  year's  Lest  We  Forget 
cover  for  the  very  reason  of 
portraying  the  change  in  atti- 
tude. 


And  with  looking  to  the  fu- 
ture comes  expansion.  Union 
announced  the  expansion  of 
its  academic  facilities  this 
year.  The  School  of  Business 
will  be  housed  in  a  new 
$  1 ,  500, 000  building  were  held 
groundbreaking  ceremonies 
on  October  13,  1987.  Union  is 
definitely  changing. 

In  1988  the  Lady  Bulldogs 
basketball  team  achieved  an 
accomplishment  that  most 
only  dream  about  —  they  ad- 
vanced to  the  national  tourna- 
ment in  Kansas  City.  The  la- 
dies advanced  all  the  way  to 
the  quarterfinals  where  they 
lost  to  the  number  one  team  in 
the  nation  —  Wingate  College 
—  by  two  points. 

So  Union  is  changing,  grow- 
ing, accomplishing,  and  1988 
is  just  the  beginning.  President 
Barefoot  has  even  bigger  plans 
for  the  future.  1988,  Oh  What 
a  Year!

mold  tomorrow's  future.

Union  Students 

Pulling  Together 

And  Meeting  Challenges 


The  school  year  was  one  of 
overcoming  small  obstacles, 
like  getting  a  date  for  the  Sat- 
urday night  basketball  game 
or  finding  a  parking  place  — 
sometimes  making  your  own 
spot  or  parking  in  the  wrong 
color  zone  and  praying  that 
the  ticket  giver  would  either 
not  notice  or  have  pity  on  your 
car. 

Sometimes  we  took  on  big- 
ger challenges,  like  trying  to 
convince  a  professor  to 
change  a  letter  grade  from  a  C 
to  a  B.  However,  as  most  of  us 
upperclassmen  know,  this  is 
usually  a  lost  cause. 

With  the  ever-present  need 
for  cash,  some  students  wrote 
checks  and  then  tried  to  beat 
them  back  to  the  bank  with 
tomorrow's  pay.  On  occasion 
it  worked,  but  when  it  didn  't  a 
service  fee  seemed  a  painful 


price  to  pay. 

Students  also  faced  difficul- 
ty in  scheduling  certain  class- 
es. Freshmen  were  shut  out  of 
introductory  courses  because 
of  high  demand  and  limited 
sections.  Then  as  they 
watched,  upperclassmen  who 
had  experience  in  the  schedul- 
ing game  seemed  to  get  in  ev- 
ery class  that  they  wanted. 
Don't  worry,  freshmen,  al- 
though this  seems  unfair  now. 
some  day  you  will  learn  the 
tricks  too. 

Moving  off  campus  to  find 
an  apartment  that  had  poten- 
tial —  and  a  reasonable  price 
—  proved  to  be  a  gamble  for 
the  students  who  were  tired  of 
dorm  life.  The  rest  of  us  had  to 
suffer  with  the  common 's  rules 
as  well  as  trying  to  get  in  be- 
fore curfew. 


Pulling  together  and  working  for  a  com- 
mon goal  in  a  team  atmosphere  is  a  good 
way  to  form  any  friendship.  Just  ask  any  of 
the  Union  varsity  athletic  teams. 


New  Faces  Brings 

A  Wave  Of 

Fresh  Changes 


Yoke,  as  well  as  many  other  students,  realized  the  importance 
of  getting  in  volved.  Here  she  gives  a  helping  hand  in  the  theatre 
box  office. 


Throughout  history,  an  un- 
usual species  has  appeared 
and  made  waves  in  our  calm 
ocean  here  at  Union  Universi- 
ty. This  year  with  little  change, 
the  trend  continued  with  an 
invasion  of  another  record 
breaking  class  of  Freshmen. 

What's  the  typical  freshman 
like?  LOST?  CONFUSED? 
When  upperclassmen  were 
asked  what  they  thought 
about  freshmen,  they  respond- 
ed with  typical  answers  such 
as:  naive,  young,  over- 
whelmed, and  impressionable. 
They  tended  to  see  freshmen 
as  first  year  students  who  are 
generally  unsure  of  them- 
selves and  inexperienced.  To 
them,  freshmen  can  always  be 
spotted  because  they  never 
know  where  they  are  going. 
They  tend  to  hang  around  in 
small  groups,  afraid  to  venture 
out. 

Freshmen,  on  the  other 
hand,  don  t  see  themselves  in 
the  sterotype.  Most  looked  to 
their  first  year  of  college  with 
anticipation.  Going  to  a  new 
school  in  a  new  town  with  a 
lot  of  different  people  was  ex- 
citing for  most. 


Although  freshmen  do  get 
lost  quite  a  bit.  after  a  few 
weeks  they  all  get  the  hang  of 
it.  Let's  not  forget  —  freshmen 
eventually  become  sopho- 
mores. 

Freshmen  were  not  the  only 
new  faces  around  our  campus. 
Many  transfers  from  such 
schools  as  MTSU  decided  to 
make  our  campus  their  next 
home. 

New  faces  also  appeared  in 
our  faculty.  Improvements 
were  seen  in  many  depart- 
ments with  addition  of:  Mrs. 
Andrea  Anderson  and  Dr.  Sam 
Myatt  —  Business.  Mrs.  Betty 
Hughes  —  Chemistry.  Mrs. 
Jean  Marie  Walls  —  Lan- 
guages. Mrs.  Lillian  Baggett  — 
English.  Dr.  John  Meadows 
and  Dr.  Joe  Blair  —  Religion, 
Dr.  Wayne  Wofford  —  Biolo- 
gy. Coach  Bob  Ward  —  P.E., 
and  Dr.  James  Edwards  — 
Vice-President. 

The  excitement  at  Union, 
along  with  its  pride,  increased 
with  each  new  face.  We  would 
like  to  welcome  each  of  our 
new  members  with  a  hearty  — 
GOOD  LUCK!

Most  Union  students  learn  very  quickly  the  importance  of 
those  extra  hours  of  study  in  the  library.  The  Union  library  is 
well  equipped  to  assist  them  in  their  studies

Dr.  Edmonson  takes  time  to  talk  over  a 
test  result  with  senior,  kristen  Miller.  Talk- 
ing over  results  and  learning  from  your 
mistakes  is  part  of  the  academic  progress 
of  a  student. 


Small  classes  help  in  the  one-on-one  attention  a 
student  receives.  Such  is  the  case  in  most  of  Union's 
foreign  language  classes.  Dr.  Jayne  teaches  the  im- 
portance of  being  bilingual  and  the  cultures  of  for- 
eign countries. 


Teaching  Not 
The  Only  Job 
Of  Faculty 


Being  a  small  college  with 
an  enrollment  of  under  two 
thousand  may  be  a  disadvan- 
tage for  some  schools,  but  not 
Union.  Union  University  has 
many  advantages  to  dispell 
any  misgivings  about  size.  One 
of  which  is  the  student-faculty 
ratio  of  15  to  I. 

With  a  small  number  of  stu- 
dents, teachers  have  more  of 
an  opportunity  to  give  person- 
al attention  to  each  student. 
Very  often  teachers  encourage 
students  to  come  by  their  of- 
fice if  they  have  any  problems 
with  schoolwork  or  if  they  just 
want  to  talk.  The  care  for  a 
student's  well-being  is  what 
makes  the  faculty  at  Union  so 
special. 

Taking  time  to  hear  stu- 
dent's problem,  helping  with 
classes,  or  even  eating  lunch 
with  a  student.  Union 's  faculty 
cares.  This  caring  has  resulted 
in  many  friendships  forming 
between  students  and  faculty. 
As  one  student  put  it.  "I  don't 
look  at  my  advisor  as  my  advi- 
sor, but  as  someone  I  can  talk 
to  about  anything,  not  just 
school.  I  look  at  him  as  a 
friend. " 


With  this  kind  of  atmo- 
sphere. Union's  faculty  has  a 
unique  opportunity  to  express 
the  Christian  love  and  concern 
Union  is  based  upon.  Union  is 
very  fortunate  to  have  a  facul- 
ty such  as  this  —  one  which  is 
intelligent,  caring,  concerned, 
and.  most  importantly.  Chris- 
tian. At  Union,  teachers  be- 
lieve their  jobs  are  to  provide 
an  environment  where  the 
proper  balance  of  mind  and 
soul  can  be  attained.  At 
Union,  you  gain  the  skills 
needed  to  compete  in  your  ca- 
reer field,  while  absorbing  a 
rich  diversity  of  ideas.  And  at 
Union,  you  can  accomplish  all 
this  with  the  support  of  its 
firmly-held  Christian  beliefs. 

So  when  you  think  about  it. 
the  unique  atmosphere  at 
Union  between  the  faculty  and 
student  helps  make  the  learn- 
ing process  so  much  more  re- 
warding and  inviting  and 
Union's  size  a  plus  and  not  a 
negative.

The  Day 
In  The  Life 
Of  A  Student 


A  day  in  the  life  of  a  Union 
student  is  full  and  busy  with 
various  events  and  classes.  It 
starts  early  and  ends  late  and 
would  tire  most  people  not 
used  to  college  life. 

The  day  starts  anywhere  be- 
tween 6-7  am  with  a  rude 
alarm  clock.  After  a  few 
swipes  at  the  snooze  button, 
it's  off  to  the  shower  in  hopes 
of  hot  water.  After  showering, 
dressing,  and  getting  that  just- 
right  look,  it's  time  for  break- 
fast in  the  Union  University 
cafeteria  around  7:30. 

After  a  delectable  breakfast, 
it's  time  for  that  eight  o'clock 
class.  It's  hard  to  stay  awake, 
but  the  old  college  try  is  given. 
After  another  class  at  nine 
o'clock,   chapel  begins  at 

10:00. 

After  chapel  some  students 
may  be  lucky  to  have  a  break. 
This  time  may  be  spent  check- 
ing the  empty  mailbox,  visiting 
the  student  activity  center, 
getting  last  minute  studying  in 
at  the  library,  or  catching  an 


early  lunch. 

The  afternoon  is  usually  a 
little  busier.  The  students  who 
have  class  at  eleven  or  twelve, 
may  drop  by  the  snack  bar  for 
lunch.  The  studious  students 
will  be  found  back  in  class  or 
in  the  library.  Many  students 
have  jobs  on  and  off-campus, 
while  some  students  take  it 
easy  with  a  game  of  golf  ten- 
nis, or  Softball. 

The  nightlife  at  Union  may 
leave  a  little  to  be  desired,  but 
besides  studying  there  are 
some  things  to  do  —  ranging 
from  catching  a  movie  on 
"bargain  night",  talking  with 
friends  in  the  commons,  to  vis- 
iting the  activity  center  or  par- 
ticipating in  intramural  events. 

The  Union  student's  night 
will  probably  end  around  one 
or  two  in  the  morning  when  he 
finally  makes  it  back  to  his 
own  room.  Making  the  most  of 
twenty-four  hours.  Union  stu- 
dents keep  on  the  go  while 
making  the  grade.

able lime  in  the  library.

Jackson,  TN  Is 
Growing  And  Changing 
Alongside  Union 


t 


Jackson.  TN  —  home  of 
Union  University  is  a  small  city 
of  50,000  people,  nestled  in 
central  West  Tennessee.  And 
like  Union,  it's  growing, 
changing,  and  meeting  the 
needs  of  its  citizens. 

The  past  few  years  have 
meant  great  change  for  Jack- 
son. Everywhere  you  look, 
construction  abounds  as  the 
Jackson  landscape  revolves 
into  a  completely  new  city. 
Just  in  the  past  year  several 
new  restaurants,  hotels,  busi- 
ness buildings,  and  apartment 
complexes  have  been  built. 
And  Jackson  seems  to  be  mov- 
ing to  the  north  toward  Union. 
What  will  this  mean  for  the 
University?  Will  it  be  just  a 
matter  of  time  before  Union 
will  be  back  in  the  same  pre- 
dicament it  was  in  just  over 
ten  years  ago  on  the  old  cam- 
pus? 

And  with  the  expansion  in 
size  came  some  very  important 
changes  in  civic  law  in  Jack- 
son. Two  well  publicized  law 
changes  were  passed  during 
the  past  year.  The  first  law 
change  was  one  that  was  well 
publicized  and  involved  many 
emotions  here  at  Union.    The 


law  passed  in  Jackson  was  "li- 
quor by  the  drink.  "  This  was  a 
contest  that  local  churches 
fought.  But  after  the  law  was 
passed  many  new  restaurants 
and  night  spots  sprung  up 
adding  to  the  ever-changing 
Jackson  skyline. 

The  other  law  that  brings 
change  to  Jackson  is  the  re- 
zoning  of  Jackson  s  voting  dis- 
trict. How  this  affects  Union, 
time  will  only  tell.  The  law  was 
passed  to  give  fair  representa- 
tions to  minorities. 

As  Jackson's  population 
grows,  the  need  for  whole- 
some entertainment  also 
grows.  The  introduction  of  the 
United  Artist  movie  theatre 
was  just  the  ticket.  Movie 
prices  immediately  went 
down,  much  to  the  delight  of 
college  students  all  across 
Jackson. 

So  Jackson  is  changing  and 
growing  just  like  Union  Uni- 
versity, and  with  these 
changes  come  a  few  bumps 
along  the  road.  But  if  the  two 
work  together  the  bumps  will 
be  smoothed  out.  Union  Uni- 
versity and  Jackson  pulling  to- 
gether can 't  lose. 


Suhwjy.  located  behind  The  Pier  restaurant,  is  one  of  Union 
student's  favorite  late  night  snack  places.  Subway  serves 
specialty  sandwiches  of  all  types.

The  Art  Of 
Registering  For  Class, 
Line  By  Line 


Advising  l 
step  in  tht 
tani  II  is 
their  advii 
progress. 


'  student  on  what  class  to  take  is  the  first 
•  registering  process  and  the  most  impor- 
the  advisor's  responsibility  to  make  sure 
ee  is  on  the  right  track  for  the  academic 


The  ritual  of  registering  for 
class  begins  with  the  meeting 
with  one's  advisor.  Deciding 
what  class  to  take  can  be  the 
easiest  and  quickest  part  of 
the  process,  because  next 
comes  the  waiting  in  lines. 

The  first  line  one  encoun- 
ters is  the  line  for  the  comput- 
er center.  It  is  necessary  to  get 
in  this  line  early  if  you  are 
worried  about  not  getting  into 
a  much  needed  class.  Once 
you  have  arrived  in  the  center 
more  tension  and  anxiety 
await.  Each  student  cringes  as 
the  much  dreaded  beep  from 
the  computer  sounds  and  the 
inevitable  words,  "Sorry,  this 
class  is  closed.  "  This  bad  news 
could  mean  a  delay  of  hours. 

The  next  stop  is  the  line  for 
the  business  office.  This  could 
be  the  most  painful  line  of  all. 
because  this  line  takes  your 
money  —  and  a  lot  of  it!  The 
wait  could  be  for  hours,  but 
the  more  experienced  register- 
ees  will  put  this  line  off  till  late 
afternoon  and  wait  for  about 
thirty  minutes.  The  business 
office  line  has  two  parts.   The 


first  part  is  where  the  students 
sign  financial  aid  forms  for 
scholarships,  grants  and 
loans.  After  you  have  signed 
your  life  away  (about  ten 
times),  then  you  go  to  part 
two. 

Part  two  of  the  business  line 
consists  of  a  small  wait,  then 
the  actual  act  of  paying  tu- 
ition. This  is  the  part  that  real- 
ly hurts,  especially  when  you 
write  the  word  "thousand"  on 
your  check.  After  this  trauma, 
you  need  a  rest.  Maybe  you 
can  run  by  the  snack  bar  to 
recuperate. 

The  next  wait  in  line  is  in 
the  student  lounge.  Here  the 
student  gets  his  new  I.D.. 
parking  permit,  and  his  picture 
taken  for  the  yearbook.  The 
new  I.D.  and  yearbook  pic- 
tures are  optional  and  many 
weary  registerees  choose  to 
bypass  these. 

By  this  time  the  challenge  of 
registering  is  over.  It's  been  a 
long  day.  but  much  has  been 
accomplished.  And  just  think, 
you  don't  have  to  do  it  again 
for  another  four  months.

Ok  h/idtrA  YmJ 


The  dreaded  "beep"  catches  this  student,  as  it  does  many.  The 
"beep"  could  cause  a  large  delay  and  a  headache  before  its 
through  with  the  student.  Experienced  registerees  will  beat  the 
"beep"  with  alternative  classes  to  choose  from. 


Faying  the  tuition  is  painful  but  i 
sary.  The  rising  cost  of  tuition  hits 
Union  just  like  other  schools,  but  that 
doesn  t  seem  to  help  relieve  any  of  the 

agony. 

Getting  your  picture  made  for  the  year- 
book is  optional,  but  those  who 
choose  to  bypass  this  step  need  to  re- 
alize they  will  not  appear  in  the  year- 
book and  need  not  complain. 


Union  Breaks 

Ground  On  New 

School  Of  Business 


Dr.  Howard  Newell.  Pean  of  Professional  Studies, 
had  the  honor  of  turning  the  first  spade  of  dirt  at  the 
groundbreaking  ceremonies  for  the  new  School  of 
Business  in  October 


The  atmosphere  was  antici- 
pative  Tuesday  morning,  Oc- 
tober 13.  1987.  as  faculty,  stu- 
dents, and  honored  guests 
gathered  on  the  site  of  the 
new  School  of  Business,  where 
the  groundbreaking  ceremony 
for  the  long-awaited  construc- 
tion took  place.  Dr.  Hyran  E. 
Barefoot  presided  over  the 
9:00  a.m.  event  that  symbol- 
ized an  important  step  in  the 
future  of  Union  University  and 
highlighted  the  week 's  special 
inaugural  activities. 

Efforts  have  been  underway 
since  December  1985  to  es- 
tablish a  School  of  Business 
Administration  at  Union  Uni- 
versity. At  that  time.  Vice- 
President  Barefoot  identified 
to  President  Craig  the  need  for 
this  new  facility.  It  was  ap- 
proved, a  building  location 
was  determined,  and  tentative 
floor  plans  were  drawn  during 
the  spring  of  1986.  Soon 
thereafter,  efforts  were  acti- 
vated to  secure  the  estimated 
$5,000,000  needed  to  under- 
write the  cost  of  the  project. 
Donated  monies  will  pay  for 
the  building,  furnishings  and

INTRODUCTION 


\ 


.  .  .  year  for  religion  and 
politics,  but  it  was  a  great  year 
for  music!  In  many  ways  this 
will  be  remembered  as  the 
year  of  the  woman.  She  top- 
pled a  religious  empire,  dam- 
aged a  presidential  candi- 
date's political  career,  and  she 
stood  by  her  boss  in  a  nation- 
ally televised  hearing.  In  world 
news  the  United  States  and  the 
Soviet  Union  signed  an  histor- 
ic treaty  eliminating  interme- 
diate and  short-range  missiles. 
In  sports,  the  America's  Cup 
came  back  home  to  the  United 
States. 

Other  major  events  in  the 
United  States  included  the 
200th  anniversary  of  the  Con- 
stitution, the  search  for  a  Su- 
preme Court  justice,  the  papal 
visit,  the  Golden  Gate  Bridge's 
50th  birthday  celebration,  the 
Presidential  Campaign,  Jim 
and  Tammy  Bakker,  and  Baby 
Jessica.  The  world  witnessed 
the  Persian  Gulf  conflict,  Ko- 
rean demonstrations  and  elec- 
tions, Haitan  riots,  and  a  pri- 
vate plane,  flown  by  a  man 


named  Mattias  Rust,  land  in 
Red  square! 

In  the  entertainment  world. 
The  Cosby  Show  was  still 
number  one  followed  by  its 
spin-off,  A  Different  World 
starring  Lisa  Bonet.  A  growing 
number  of  yuppie-oriented 
shows  headed  by  Thirty 
Something  and  A  Year  in  the 
Life  caught  audience's  atten- 
tion. The  music  industry  saw  a 
mix  of  old  and  new.  Michael 
Jackson  came  out  with  his 
long-awaited  album  Bad. 
Whitney  Houston  followed 
her  debut  successfully  with 
Whitney.  New  faces  included 
Debbie  Gibson,  Tiffany,  The 
Breakfast  Club,  and  Jody  Wat- 
ley. 

And  in  a  sad  note  we  said 
goodbye  to  some  familiar 
faces:  Fred  Astaire,  Henry 
Ford  II,  Jackie  Gleason,  Rita 
Hayworth,  John  Houston, 
Danny  Kaye,  Liberace,  Lee 
Marvin,  Robert  Preston.  Har- 
old Washington,  and  Andy 
Warhol.

Miss  Tennessee  and  Miss  America.  Kellye  Cash. 


Nuclear 
Arms 
Control 
Agreement 


In  early  December,  the  world  fo- 
cused its  attention  on  Washington 
as  the  two  super  powers  met  for  an 
important  summit,  and  signed  a 
treaty  eliminating  intermediate  and 
short-range  missiles.  Never  before 
had  the  word  "elimination"  ap- 
peared in  any  treaty  between  the 
United  States  and  the  Soviet  Union. 
The  very  title  of  the  document  is  a 


mouthful  —  Treaty  Between  the 
United  States  of  America  and  the 
Soviet  Socialist  Republics  on  the 
Elimination  of  Their  Intermediate- 
Range  and  Shorter-Range  Missiles. 
But  what  did  this  treaty  accom- 
plish? Just  what  did  it  eliminate? 
The  United  States  gave  up  108  Per- 
shing lis  with  one  warhead  each, 
64  cruise  missiles  with  four  war- 
heads each,  72  Pershing  lA  war- 
heads atop  Western  German  mis- 
siles, for  a  total  of  436  warheads 
removed.  The  Soviet  Union  re- 
moved 441  SS-20s  with  three  war- 
heads each,  112  SS-4s  with  one 
warhead  each,  120  SS-l2/22s  with 
one  warhead  each.  20  SS-23s  with 


one  warhead  each,  for  a  total  1,575 
warheads  removed. 

In  removing  the  warhead,  the  su-  '< 
per  powers  have  reduced  a  huge  i 
point  of  tension  between  them  that 
has  lasted  since  the  Carter  admin- 
istration. 

But  now  that  the  treaty  is  signed, 
and  in  effect,  how  do  we  know  the 
other  side  will  uphold  its  part  of 
the  deal?  Precautions  have  been 
made  by  having  meetings  between 
officials  of  the  two  countries  which 
started  in  January.  But  even  with 
these  precautions  no  one  can  pre- 
dict what  the  future  holds  in  the 
nuclear  arms  race.  All  we  can  do  is 
sit,  wait,  and  pray. 


President  Reagan  talks  with  So- 
viet leader  Mikhail  Gorbachev 
during  arrival  ceremonies  at  the 
White  House.  The  two  super 
power  leaders  held  a  three- Jay 
summit  meeting  in  December 
and  signed  a  nuclear  arms  con 
Irol  agreement. 


Politics 


Looking 
For 
Justice 


With  two  strikes  against  him. 
President  Reagan  decided  to 
play  it  safe:  he  nominated  An- 
thony Kennedy,  a  so-called  mod- 
erate conservative,  to  fill  the  va- 
cancy created  by  Justice  Lewis 
Powell's  resignation  last  July. 
The  lukewarm  reception  Kenne- 
dy met  in  some  right-wing  circles 
came  in  part  from  lingering  dis- 
appointment over  the  Bork  de- 
feat. Judge  Bork  was  one  of  the 
few  conservative  legal  scholars 
who  became  a  crossover  hit  with 
conservative  activists.  In  the  cur- 
rent environment,  where  intelli- 


gence is  a  politcal  liability,  it's 
not  surprising  that  Reagan  s  new 
choice  was  less  known  and  gen- 
erated less  enthusiasm.  As  a 
lower-court  judge,  Kennedy  had 
been  bound  by  Supreme  Court 
precedent.  So,  of  course,  was 
Judge  Bork,  but.  unlike  Bork's. 
Kennedy's  opinions  breathed  no 
hint  of  hostility  toward  decisions 
involving  local  authority  on  is- 
sues like  crime,  education,  and, 
of  course,  abortion. 

A  few  PRO-LIFE  groups  were 
also  hot  and  bothered  by  the  fact 
that   Kennedy   did   not   express 


disapproval  in  the  life  issue. 
American  Life  League  had  an- 
nounced it  would  mount  a  cam- 
paign against  the  nomination. 
However,  the  consensus  among 
pro-lifers  appears  to  be  that  Ken- 
nedy is  a  much  better  choice 
than  the  others.  Although  Ken- 
nedy had  been  tagged  a  moder- 
ate, his  nomination  was  pushed 
by  many  strong  conservatives  in 
the  legal  community.  Maybe  this 
is  a  good  sign  for  our  country! 


Mrs.  Reagan  Recovers 
From  Surgery 


On  October  17. 
1987.  First  Lady  Nancy 
Reagan  learned  the  tu- 
mor in  her  left  breast, 
discovered  on  October 
5.  was  malignant. 
Through  a  biopsy,  cells 
were  taken  from  the 
area  suspected  to  be 
cancerous.    Examina- 


tion of  these  cells  re- 
vealed that  cancer  was 
present.  Fulfilling  her 
pre-stated  wishes,  doc- 
tors at  Bethesda  Naval 
Hospital  performed 
surgery  and  removed 
the  breast  that  same 
day. 


In  an  effort  to  keep  the  Persian  Gulf  open  to  naviga- 
tion, the  United  States  began  in  July  to  escort  vessels 
to  protect  them  from  Iran.  In  September  the  U.S.  Navy 
blew  up  an  Iranian  ship  that  was  placing  mines  in  the 
Gulf.  Several  mines  were  confiscated. 


U.S.  Navy  Makes 
Presence  Known 


During  October  for  the  first 
time  in  the  Persian  Gulf,  Iranian 
and  American  gunners  aimed 
their  weapons  at  each  other  and 
pulled  the  triggers.  Iranian 
speedboats,  which  fired  first, 
missed  an  unarmed  U.S.  Army 
observation  helicopter.  Two  U.S. 
gunship  choppers  reacted  sink- 
ing one  of  the  attacking  boats 
and  setting  two  others  on  fire. 
Although  hardly  a  major  clash, 
the  exchange  in  the  gulf  plum- 
meted the  hostilities  even  closer 
toward  a  real  but  undeclared 
state  of  limited  war. 


This  climaxed  a  series  of  bluffs 
and  threats  from  Iranian  naval 
forces  in  the  wake  of  the  seizure 
of  the  Iran  Ajr,  which  was  dis- 
abled by  U.S.  helicopters  as  it 
was  laying  mines.  Previously  ev- 
eryone thought  that  Iran  would 
not  dare  to  attack  American 
ships.  Now  it  appears  that  we 
were  headed  for  a  confrontation. 

The  U.S.  retaliation  and  the 
Iranian  strike  abruptly  changed 
the  profile  of  the  gulf  confronta- 
tion. Suddenly  it  looked  less  like 
a  protective  operation,  in  which 
U.S.   warships  would  quietly  go 


about  keeping  American-flagged 
Kuwaiti  oil  tankers  out  of  harm's 
way,  and  more  like  a  direct  face- 
off  between  the  two  nations.  This 
situation  could  easily  have  got- 
ten out  of  control.  Our  govern- 
ment stated  that  it  did  not  seek 
any  further  confrontation  with 
Iran,  but  we  would  meet  any  mil- 
itary actions  with  stronger  coun- 
termeasures.  President  Reagan 
stated  it  more  bluntly.  "We're 
not  going  to  have  a  war  with 
Iran.  They're  not  that  stupid." 
But.  how  far  must  we  go  to  have 
peace  in  our  world?  Is  it  too  far?

Pope  Visits 
United  States 


Stockmarket  Crash 
Of  1987 


For  nearly  five  years  the 
stock  market  had  made  dra- 
matic gains,  setting  records 
for  miraculous  increases.  It 
was  termed  as  being  a  very 
"bullish"  market.  Thousands 
of  people  were  making  tons  of 
money.  The  market  topped  at 
over  2700  points,  the  highest 
mark  reached  ever! 

October  19.  1987,  put  a  halt 
to  all  of  the  merry  money  mak- 
ing. An  event  took  place  that 
will  surely  be  remembered  and 
talked  about  for  many  years  to 
come.  The  New  York  Stock  Ex- 
change made  the  greatest  de- 
cline in  history.  Falling  nearly 
200  points  more  than  the 
crash  of  1929.  the  market  fell 
508  points. 

What  did  the  crash  mean  to 
the  economy?  If  government 
played  its  cards  right,  it  could 
be  beneficial.  Many  people 
now  bought  securities,    trea- 


sury bonds,  and  mutual  funds. 
No  longer  were  people  looking 
for  a  high  risk,  get-rich-quick 
stock.  They  wanted  low  risk, 
long-term  investments.  The  re- 
cession that  followed  the  1929 
crash  need  not  happen  again. 
If  everyone  starts  talking  re- 
cession, and  the  public  reacts 
as  if  a  recession  is  coming, 
then  one  will  occur.  Govern- 
ment must  be  careful  not  to 
lead  the  public  to  believe  a  re- 
cession is  coming.  Now  is  the 
time  when  government  must 
be  strong.  Although  it  seems 
that  the  bear  is  running  freely 
throughout  the  market,  many 
investment  firms  forsee  a 
strong  economy  to  continue. 
Expected  lower  interest  rates, 
and  increases  in  government 
spending  will  help  settle  the 
shaky  market.  The  bull  will  be 
back! 


Everyone  knew  that 
Pope  John  Paul  ll's  sec- 
ond visit  to  the  United 
States  was  not  going  to 
be  easy.  A  growing 
problem  between  the 
American  Catholics 
was  the  major  reason 
for  this  visit.  Once  re- 
garded as  among  the 
most  committed  fol- 
lowers, many  American 
Catholics  today  feel 
they  have  the  right  to 
choose  the  elements  of 
their  faith  and  ignore 


those  they  disagree 
with.  Major  disagree- 
ments ranged  from 
abortion  to  women 
priests. 

The  Pope  met  this 
challenge  by  not  scold- 
ing his  followers  with 
harsh  words,  but  rather 
by  offering  blessings 
and  warm  homilies.  He 
also  chose  to  follow 
the  advice  of  American 
bishops  by  avoiding 
confrontational 
speeches. 


In  the  six  years  since  Americans  first  heard 
of  a  mysterious  immunity-robbing  disease 
from  which  no  one  recovers.  AIDS  has 
killed  nearly  25.000  Americans.  Millions 
of  dollars  have  poured  into  medical  re- 
search and  President  Reagan  has  pro- 
claimed the  plague  "Public  Health  Enemy 
No.   /." 


AIDS: 

Public  Health  Enemy  No.  1 


1987  was  only  the  beginning 
of  a  panic  over  a  disease  about 
which  little  is  known  and  for 
which  there  is  no  known  cure. 
AIDS  —  acquired  immune  defi- 
ciency syndrome  —  took  Ameri- 
ca by  surprise  and  forced  Ameri- 
cans to  seek  more  knowledge  to 
protect  themselves. 

AIDS  statistics  are  staggering. 
Only  six  years  after  Americans 
first  heard  the  term  "AIDS",  2 
million  people  have  become  in- 
fected with  it.  The  number  of 
deaths  which  this  will  lead  to  is 
expected  to  be  larger  than  the 
death  toll  of  the  Vietnam  War 
and  to  make  the  Ethiopian  fam- 
ine look  like  a  picnic.  The  AIDS 
virus   is   also   compared  to   the 


Black  Death  that  killed  a  fourth 
of  Europe's  population  in  the 
14th  century. 

The  HIV  virus  is  only  the  first 
of  many  viruses  that  can  infect 
people  and  lower  their  immune 
system.  As  many  as  10  million 
people  are  infected  with  the  HIV 
virus.  Predictions  include 
500.000-3  million  new  cases  be- 
tween 1986-1991.  and  by  1991. 
50- 100  million  people  will  be  in- 
fected with  the  HIV  virus.  It  is 
also  predicted  that  cancer  will  be 
recognized  as  a  complication  of 
the  HIV  infection.  Within  the 
next  5  years.  3  million  AIDS  vic- 
tims will  be  dead  or  dying,  and  it 
is  possible  that  America  will  be 
devoting  2%  of  its  GNP  to  care 


for  AIDs  patients.  66%  of  AIDS 
cases  are  found  in  homosexuals. 
Behind  every  AIDS  patient,  there 
are  about  100  hidden  sources 
with  the  HIV  virus. 

Within  5  years.  2  major  shifts 
in  the  AIDS  virus  are  predicted: 
80%  of  all  AIDS  cases  will  be 
found  outside  New  York  and 
California,  and  it  will  be  trans- 
mitted more  and  more  by  hetero- 
sexual contact.  "There  is  only 
one  way  that  society  will  live  in 
peace  until  a  cure  or  vaccine  is 
found,  if  ever.  That  is  for  each 
person  to  decide  whether  his  or 
her  sexual  conduct  is  a  danger  to 
the  life  of  another,  and  then  act 
accordingly. "

California 
Scores  A  6.1 


Garbage  Cargo 
Becomes  Joke 


At  7:42  am.  one  October 
morning.  California  experi- 
enced an  earthquake  regis- 
tering 6.1  on  the  Richter 
Scale  causing  fear  in  most 
Southern  Californians.  Over 
100  people  were  injured 
and  six  killed  during  the 
earthquake.  The  quake 
shattered  windows,  snapped 
power  lines,  broke  gas 
mains,  and  ignited  fires. 
Centered  between  Whittier 
and  Pasadena,  the  earth- 
quake was  just  thirty  miles 
from  the  San  Andreas  Fault. 
Eight  blocks  of  Whittier  s 
business  district  were 
closed  after  falling  bricks 
damaged    cars    and    eight 


buildings  were  destroyed. 

The  quake,  although 
damaging,  was  rather  minor 
compared  to  the  8. 1  quake 
in  Mexico  City  in  1985.  and 
the  1906  San  Francisco  ca- 
tastrophe that  measured  8.3 
on  the  Richter  scale.  Still, 
the  October  quake  was  the 
worst  since  1971  in  South- 
ern California,  when  the  San 
Fernando  Valley  was  shak- 
en by  a  6.6  quake  that  left 
64  people  dead.  This  quake 
showed  the  people  of  Cali- 
fornia that  they  are  far  from 
ready  for  a  major  earth- 
quake along  the  San  An- 
dreas Fault. 


The  barge  Mabro 
4000  began  its  fateful 
journey  from  a  New 
York  City  port  on 
March  22.  1987  bound 
for  Jones  County. 
North  Carolina.  The 
barge  was  filled  with  a 
very  unique  cargo  of 
New  York's  finest  .  .  . 
garbage.  But  little  did 
the  crew  know  just  how 
long  and  unusual  this 
trip  would  be. 

After  being  turned 
away  from  the  original 
port  in  North  Carolina, 
Mabro  4000  tried  sev- 


eral other  ports.  The 
barge  quickly  became 
national  news. 

The  barge  filled  with 
3. 128  tons  of  garbage 
became  a  national  joke 
and  a  symbol  of  the  na- 
tion's worsening  prob- 
lem with  solid  waste 
management.  The 
barge,  while  looking 
for  a  place  to  dump  its 
cargo,  was  banned  by 
six  states  and  three  for- 
eign countries  before 
an  incinerator  finally 
reduced  it  to  ash.

Bakkers  From  PTL 


Is  money  everything?  Well, 
apparently  for  Jim  and  Tammy 
Bakker  it  was!  Their  famous  tele- 
vision ministry.  PTL,  whose  let- 
ters stand  for  either  Praise  the 
Lord  or  Pass  the  Loot,  was  a 
booming  success.  Then,  on  one 
fateful  day.  a  church  secretary  by 
the  name  of  Jessica  Hahn 
brought  an  end  to  the  profits. 
Hahn  informed  the  press  of  an 
affair  with  Jim  Bakker  and  of  a 
payment  of  $265,000  from  min- 
istry money  to  keep  quiet.  On  the 
basis  of  these  charges,  the  gov- 
ernment decided  to  investigate 
the  financial  practices  of  the  PTL 
ministry. 

The  impending  investigation 
turned  up  enough  wrong-doing 


that  the  Bakkers  were  forced  to 
step  down.  Charges  of  misuse  of 
funds  were  brought  against  them 
and  much  evidence  showed  their 
extravagent  spending,  with  the 
air-conditioned  dog  house  being 
the  most  publicized  piece. 

In  a  Nightline  episode  with 
Ted  Koppel.  Bakker  lashed  out 
and  branded  Falwell  a  thief  by 
accusing  him  of  stealing  the  min- 
istry from  them.  Bakker  stated 
that  the  whole  situation  was  a 
conspiracy  and  that  Falwell  lied 
to  him  by  suggesting  that  Jimmy 
Swaggert  was  trying  to  over- 
throw them  and  become  the  new 
head  of  PTL.  The  predicament 
got  even  more  complex  when 
Falwell   claimed   that   Bakker 


asked  him  to  take  over  because 
Bakker  felt  that  Falwell  was  ca- 
pable and  trustworthy.  Who 
knows  what  really  occurred  be- 
tween the  two.  and  who  was  at 
fault. 

Since  the  die-down  of  the 
scandal,  Jim  and  Tammy 
planned  a  new  ministry  of  their 
own.  Time  will  tell  whether  this 
bird  ever  gets  off  the  ground  or 
just  lays  another  egg.  The  prob- 
lem stated  simply  is  this:  millions 
of  people  believed  Jim  and 
Tammy  were  sincere  people  for 
Christ,  but  in  reality,  they  were, 
although  dressed  in  sheepskin, 
truly  wolves  at  heart. 


Scandals 


Marine  Ll  Col.  Oliver  L.  North,  was  a  key  official  in 
the  plan  lo  finance  anii-government  rebels  in  Nicara 
gua  with  money  from  arms  sales  to  Iran.  In  testimony 
before  the  Iran  Contra  hearings  in  Washington, 
North  became  somewhat  of  a  celebrity. 


Hart,  Rice 


Irati'Contra 
Hearings 


When  Oliver  North  faced 
his  congressional  inquisitors 
at  the  iran-contra  hearings  last 
July,  he  saw  the  enemy  and  let 
them  have  it.  No.  he  was  not 
sorry  for  deceiving  Congress 
about  his  role  in  funneling 
cash  from  the  Iran  arms  sales 
to  the  Nicaraguan  contras. 
And  no.  he  was  not  going  to 
let  Congress  heap  all  the 
blame  on  the  executive  branch 
—  not  when  Congress  had 
forced  the  administration  to 
aid  the  contras  in  any  way  it 
could.  He  lectured,  he 
preached,  he  admonished,  he 
joked,  and  his  blue  eyes  spar- 
kled and  his  voice  cracked 
with  conviction.  He  was  the 
All-American  Boy  with  a  gap- 
toothed  grin  worthy  of  Huck 
Finn    who    beat    long-haired 


House  Chief  Counsel  John 
Nields  at  his  own  pugnacious 
game.  The  shadowy  North  was 
replaced  by  an  irresistible  new 
character:  Ollie. 

Then,  as  the  nation  began  to 
think  twice,  infatuation  gave 
way  to  misgivings.  Was  North 
really  the  "national  hero" 
President  Reagan  had  pro- 
claimed him  to  be? 

In  recent  months,  with  the 
likelihood  that  North  will  be 
indicted,  Ollie  has  drawn  back 
into  the  narrow  orbit  of  his 
family,  church,  and  a  desk  job 
at  Marine  Corps  Headquar- 
ters. But.  the  grin  is  un- 
changed. It  endures  as  a  sym- 
bol of  the  recklessness  that 
produced  the  political  scandal 
of  the  decade. 


Scandal  Damages  Campaign 


Democratic  presidential 
candidate  Gary  Hart  was 
forced  to  drop  his  bid  for 
the  presidency  after  it  was 
reported  that  he  was  roman- 
tically involved  with  Donna 
Rice,  a  29-year-old  aspiring 
actress  and  model  from  Mi- 
ami. He  dared  the  press  to 
"put  a  tail  on  me.  "and  then 
flew  Rice  to  Washington. 
We  received  a  lesson  in 
post-modern  manners  when 
he  claimed  that  "the  woman 


in  question  "  had  been  a  vir- 
tual stranger  who  "dropped 
into  my  lap"  on  that  Carib- 
bean cruise.  "/  chose  not  to 
dump  her  off  and  the  pic- 
ture was  taken."  All  that 
was  hard  enough  to  believe 
and  now  the  very  man  who 
clouded  the  1 988  campaign 
with  questions  of  character 
tried  unsuccessfully  to  stage 
a  comeback  by  reentering 
the  presidential  race. 


Kirby  Puckett  and  Jeff  Raerdon  of  the  Minnesota  Twins 
celebrate  their  World  Series  victory  over  the  St.  Louis  Cardi- 
nals. The  Twins  won  the  seventh  and  final  game  of  the  series 
4-2. 


A  Salute 
To  The 
Champions!!! 


Champions  come  in  all  shapes 
and  sizes.  They  come  from  differ- 
ent walks  of  life.  But  they  all  car- 
ry one  similar  trait.  They  have  an 
uncanny  desire  to  win!  They 
strive  for  excellence!  They  never 
give- up!  Who  would  have  ever 
guessed  that  the  Minnesota 
Twins  would  even  make  the  play- 
offs, much  less  win  the  World 
Series.  The  Twins  haven't  won  a 
World  Series  in  forever!  This  was 
to  be  their  year,  though.  With  a 
young  and  exciting  manager, 
they  played  well  above  their  ex- 
pectancies, and  defeated  the  St. 
Louis  Cardinals  in  seven  games. 
Minneapolis  went  crazy  for  their 
hometown  Twins.  Homer  Han- 
kies waved  continuously.  The 
Twins  had  brought  the  champi- 
onship home  to  the  twin  cities. 

The  NBA  named  a  new  cham- 


pion in  1987.  The  Los  Angeles 
Lakers  defeated  the  Boston  Celt- 
ics in  the  best-of-seven  series.  It 
seems  almost  like  tradition  for 
these  two  franchises  of  World 
Champions.  Magic  Johnson 
pulled  more  than  rabbits  from 
his  hat  in  claiming  the  MVP 
award.  What  happened  to  the 
Bird  Man?  Well,  it  seems  with 
parts  of  his  flock  hampered  with 
injuries,  the  Bird  Man  couldn't 
soar. 

The  Washington  Redskins  won 
the  annual  blowout  game  called 
the  Super  Bowl.  The  Redskins  de- 
feated the  Denver  Broncos  42- 10 
in  what  will  be  remembered  as 
the  game  that  records  fell.  This 
was  the  second  straight  Super 
Bowl  defeat  for  the  Broncos. 
Among  the  records  that  fell  was 
the  most  points  scored  in  a  sin- 


gle quarter  with  35  points  in  the 
second  quarter.  The  Super  Bowl 
has  in  recent  years  failed  to  live 
up  to  its  hype.  The  average 
spread  between  the  teams  in 
more  than  two  touchdowns  and 
this  year's  game  will  increase 
that.  Many  suggestions  have 
been  made  that  could  possibly 
help  this  situation.  The  most 
popular  of  these  is  to  shorten  the 
time  between  the  final  playoff 
game  and  the  Super  Bowl  from 
two  weeks  to  one,  so  the  teams 
can  stay  in  their  weekly  routines. 
These  are  the  champions  for 
IBS 7.  but  by  the  time  this  year- 
book reaches  you,  I988's  cham- 
pions will  begin  to  take  form. 
The  challenge  for  excellence 
continues.

Strike  Proves 
To  Be  Failure 


The  1987  NFL  Football 
season  came  to  an  abrupt 
halt  in  the  third  week  of 
the  season.  The  players 
decided  to  strike  because 
of  issues  such  as  pension 
plans  and  starting  sala- 
ries. 

The  strike,  however, 
did  not  go  the  way  the 
players  thought  it  would. 
Instead  of  falling  into  the 
players'  demands,  man- 
agement   replaced    them 


with  "scabs".  These  scabs 
played  for  three  weeks 
while  showing  the  players 
that  the  season  would  go 
on  without  them. 

The  24-day  strike  by 
the  NFL  players  ended  in 
mid-October  when  the 
union  capitulated  and 
went  to  court  instead  of 
trying  to  fight  the  club 
owners  at  the  bargaining 
table.

Dennis  Conner,  the  man  who  lost  the  America's  Cup 
in  I9S}.  won  it  back  four  years  later,  the  Stars  and 
Stripes  completed  a  4  0  sweep  over  Australia's  Kook- 
aburra III  in  the  race  that  took  place  in  Australia. 


The  Cup  Comes 
Back  Home!! 


What  does  the  only 
man  to  ever  lose  the 
America's  Cup  do?  He 
goes  out  and  wins  it 
back!  Dennis  Conner, 
who  lost  the  cup  to 
Australia  in  1983.  took 
his  Stars  and  Stripes  to 
Fremantle.  Western 
Australia  and  defeated 
the  Kookaburra  in  four 
straight  races. 

Although  Stars  and 
Stripes  had  its  prob- 
lems early  on.  her  crew 
never  gave  up.  In  the 
finals,  the  Stars  and 
Stripes  never  even 
looked  back.  She  led  in 


every  turn  of  every 
race,  and  won  each  by 
at  least  one  whole  min- 
ute. Now  the  cup  is 
home  again. 

Where  will  the  1990 
defense  be  held?  Some 
people  hope  for  the 
coast  off  of  San  Diego, 
where  the  cup  resides. 
Conner  said  the  deci- 
sion will  be  left  up  to  a 
committee  that  con- 
tains the  yacht's  de- 
signers. But  no  matter 
where  the  next  races 
are  held,  hopefully 
America's  Cup  is  home 
to  stay! 


Chart 


k'e* 


Oh  what  a  year  in  mu- 
sic it  was!  Old  and  new 
faces  packed  the  charts 
with  songs  that  kept  us 
dancing  and  singing 
along  all  year  long.  It  was 
a  year  that  heavy  metal 
made  itself  heard  and 
seen  with  such  artists  as 
Bon  Jovi.  Billy  Idol,  Mot- 
ley Crue.  and  Stryper.  Old 
songs  were  reworked  and 
made  it  big.  "Lean  on 
Me".  "Stand  by  Me",  and 
"Mony  Mony"  are  fust  a 
few  examples. 

We  saw  a  mixture  of 
old  and  new  faces  this 
year.  Michael  Jackson  re- 
leased his  much  awaited 
album.  Bad.  along  the 
way,  he  grabbed  one 
American  Music  Award 
and  three  Grammy  nomi- 


nations. Whitney  Hous- 
ton proved  she  could  beat 
the  sophomore  Jinx  by  re- 
leasing her  second  album 
Whitney.  The  song  "I 
Want  to  Dance  With 
Someone  (Who  Loves 
Me)"  finished  as  the 
number  one  song  for  the 
entire  year.  Madonna  dis- 
played her  talents  by  re- 
leasing two  albums  and 
placing  four  songs  on  the 
year  end  top  100  chart. 
But  strangely  enough,  she 
was  overlooked  for  a 
Grammy  nomination.  Big 
names  this  year  in  coun- 
try music  include  Randy 
Travis,  Reba  Mclntire, 
George  Strait,  The  Judds, 
and  Dolly  Parton. 

Billy  Joel  made  an  his- 
toric   trip    to    the   Soviet 


Union.  In  this  day  of  trea- 
ties and  somewhat  im- 
proving relations  between 
the  U.S.  and  Soviet  Union, 
this  three  performance 
tour  by  Billy  Joel  gave 
Russians  a  chance  to  see 
an  example  of  America's 
best  music.  Tina  Turner 
and  Sting  set  a  record  by 
performing  in  front  of 
180,000  people  in  Brazil 
—  more  than  the  pope 
when  he  made  an  appear- 
ance in  Brazil. 

The  top  groups  of  the 
year  included  U2,  Bon 
Jovi,  Whitesnake,  and 
Lisa  Lisa  and  Cult  Jam. 
U2's  album.  The  Joshua 
Tree,  hit  it  big  on  college 
campuses  all  over  the 
country.  The  controver- 
sial band  was  awarded  for 


Music 


Toppers 


the  excellent  work  on  this 
album  with  four  Grammy 
nominations,  more  than 
any  other  band.  Bon  Jovi 
made  it  true  that  heavy 
metal  had  really  made  it 
today  by  winning  the  fa- 
vorite pop/rock  group 
award  at  the  American 
Music  Awards.  The 
Grammys.  however,  have 
not  come  around  to  their 
type  of  music,  as  not  one 
single  heavy  metal  group 
or  song  received  a  nomi- 
nation. 

New  faces  this  year  in- 
cluded Debbie  Gibson, 
who  became  the  youngest 
female  vocalist  to  have  a 
number  one  single  on  the 
charts  with  "Shake  Your 
Love.  "  Tiffany,  the  Break- 
fast Club.   Jody    Watley. 


and  Terence  Trent  D'Ar- 
by. 

Movie  soundtracks 
also  made  a  big  impres- 
sion on  the  charts  this 
year.  Such  movies  as  La- 
Bamba,  Less  than  Zero, 
Beverly  Hills  Cop  II, 
Who's  That  Girl,  Stand 
By  Me,  and  The  Lost 
Boys  all  placed  at  least 
one  song  on  or  near  the 
top  of  the  charts.  But  it 
was  the  soundtrack  from 
the  surprise  hit.  Dirty 
Dancing,  that  gave  not 
one.  but  two  top  albums 
this  year.  The  Dirty  Danc- 
ing soundtrack  stayed  at 
number  one  for  nine  con- 
secutive weeks.  With  hits 
such  as  "I've  Had  the 
Time  of  My  Life, "  and 
"She's   Like   the    Wind". 


it's  on  its  way  to  becom- 
ing the  top  selling  movie 
soundtrack  of  all  time. 

In  review,  the  top  male 
artists  of  the  year  includ- 
ed Michael  Jackson, 
Sting.  Paul  Simon.  Steve 
Win  wood.  Bruce  Spring- 
stein,  and  Prince.  Top  fe- 
male artists  were  headed 
by  Whitney  Houston. 
Anita  Baker.  Madonna. 
Suzanne  Vega.  Barbara 
Striesand.  and  Jody  Wat- 
ley.  A  very  strong  year  for 
groups  was  led  by  Bon 
Jovi.  U2.  Whitesnake. 
Fleetwood  Mac,  Bangles, 
and  Expose.

Fred  Astaire 


Liberace 


Every  year  we  see  many  shooting 
stars  in  our  universe.  However,  as 
with  this  night  life,  several  of  these 
stars  will  black  out  and  disappear 
forever.  Many  talented  and  pre- 
cious people  left  us  this  year  to  go 
to  far  better  places.  They  have  now 
joined  all  of  the  other  configura- 
tions that  human  beings  stare  at. 
think  about,  look  up  to.  and  ad- 
mire. 

Of  these  stars,  some  of  the 
brightest,  such  as  Fred  Astaire,  Li- 
berace. Jackie  Gleason,  Lee  Mar- 
vin, John  Huston,  and  Lome 
Greene,  lights  dimmed. 

The  most  famous  traditional 
dancer  of  the  twentieth  century 
who  kept  us  spellbound  with  his 
creativity  by  showing  us  new  steps 
that  had  never  been  shown  before 
died  this  year  at  the  age  of  88.  Fred 
Astaire  will  be  remembered  most 
for  his  dancing  routines  in  musicals 
such  as  Daddy  Longlegs  and  Holi- 
day Inn.  Although  he  had  many 
different  partners,  he  is  best  known 
for  his  dancing  with  Ginger  Rogers. 
His  creativity  is  shown  through  his 
choreography  and  usage  of  such 
objects  as  a  coat  rack,  empty  shoes, 
and  fire  crackers  to  bring  us  into  a 
fantasy  world  that  only  he  could 


create. 

Astaire  stated  that  the  legendary 
film  star  Rita  Hayworth  was  his  fa- 
vorite dance  partner.  He  felt  they 
were  smooth  and  complimented 
each  other.  It  seems  only  fitting 
that  these  two  great  stars  would 
dance  out  of  the  limelight  and  into 
a  more  perfect  place  hand  in  hand 
this  year.  They  both  will  be  deeply 
missed  by  every  individual  in  the 
world  whose  lives  they  touched. 

Liberace  was  the  greatest  show- 
man on  earth.  He  gave  us  the  en- 
lightenment and  courage  to  dream 
the  impossible  dream,  and  proved 
this  by  being  a  poor  boy  who  made 
good.  He  was  the  epitamy  of  the 
untouchable  recluse.  But  this  soli- 
tary individual,  who  was  so  out  of 
reach  from  everyone's  grasp  died 
of  a  commoner's  disease.  Although 
his  friends  tried  to  cover  up  his 
death,  this  superstar  died  from  a 
disease  that  only  a  few  years  ago 
killed  another  great  star  Rock  Hud- 
son. Not  much  is  known  abou  this 
disease  called  AIDS  but  it  effects 
rich  and  poor,  famous  and  infa- 
mous, commoners  and  bluebloods. 
and  leaves  destroyed  lives  and 
families  mourning  in  its  path. 


Jackie  Gleason 


Memorial 


One  of  the  greatest  comedians  of 
our  day.  Jackie  Gleason.  bowed  off 
the  stage  this  year.  He  carried 
many  memories  and  much  love 
with  him.  Gleason  was  one  of  the 
unusual  superstars  who  was  talent- 
ed enough  to  achieve  and  influ- 
ence every  aspect  of  the  Hollywood 
world.  He  not  only  acted  on  the 
stage  but  was  also  a  comic,  produc- 
er, and  director,  for  many  years. 
The  television  viewers  of  his  era 
related  well  to  Ralph  Kramden  of 
the  Honeymooners  series.  Gleason 
brought  this  character  to  life  as 
only  he  could.  He  also  made  rural 
sheriffs  comical  through  his  por- 
trayal of  Smokey  in  Smokey  and 
the  Bandit  series.  Many  movies, 
honors,  and  awards  were  left  be- 
hind when  he  departed.  Through 
these  heirlooms  he  will  be  kept 
alive  for  many  years  to  come.  He 
had  a  wonderful  life  although  it 
was  shorter  than  most.  He  died  at 
the  prime  of  old  age  at  71.  Jackie 
Gleason  left  us  with  a  sentence 
through  Ralph  Kramden  that  de- 
scribed his  presence  on  this  earth. 
"How  sweet  it  is.  "  How  sweet  you 


were  Jackie.  Thanks  for  the  memo 
ries. 

Other  stars  that  should  not  be 
forgotten  include:  Lee  Marvin,  who 
starred  in  The  Dirty  Dozen  as  well 
as  many  other  action  packed  mov- 
ies. He  once  said,  "If  I  appeal  to 
anybody.  I  hope  it  s  to  the  guy  who 
collects  the  garbage."  He  died  at 
the  age  of  63.  John  Huston  was  a 
very  talented  actor  as  well  as  direc- 
tor. He's  famous  for  movie  classics 
such  as  The  Maltese  Falcon,  and 
Prizzi's  Honor.  On  the  subject  of 
retirement  be  said,  "Why  does  a 
painter  keep  on  painting?  Painters 
retiring?  Nonsense!"  John  Huston 
dies  at  the  age  of  81.  Contempo- 
rary artist  Andy  Warhol  died  at  the 
age  of  5S.  When  asked  if  his  work 
was  art.  Warhol  said,  "Art?  That's 
a  man's  name.  "  Lome  Greene,  star 
of  Bonanza,  left  behind  the  Ponder- 
osa  and  faded  into  the  sunset. 

To  all  of  these  special  people  and 
others  that  have  not  been  men- 
tioned, we  of  the  world  would  like 
to  express  our  appreciation  for  all 
of  your  contributions  to  our  lives. 
Thanks  again  for  the  memories!!

something  happening  on 
Union's  campus. 

In  the  fall  the  campus  events 
begin  with  the  President's  Re- 
ception. This  gives  the  stu- 
dents a  chance  to  meet  Presi- 
dent Barefoot  on  a  one-to-one

ponent in  two  exciting  games. 
Alumni  visit  the  campus  dur- 
ing the  week  to  relive  their 
college  days. 

But  most  will  agree  that  the 
biggest  campus  event  of  the 
fall  has  to  be  All-Sing,  the  vo- 
cal competition  between 
groups  across  the  campus. 
This  year  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 
took  first  place,  followed  by 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  in  second, 
and  Chi  Omega  in  third. 

A    spring    event    that    stu- 


dents, faculty,  and  families 
alike  enjoy  is  the  annual  Miss 
Union  University  Pageant.  This 
year  we  had  eleven  contes- 
tants to  participate,  represent- 
ing campus  organizations. 
Each  lady  did  a  fine  job  and  all 
deserve  a  hand. 

During  the  year  at  one  of 
the  SGA  meetings,  each  class 
nominated  twenty  outstanding 
individuals  to  be  Union's 
Campus  Favorites.  This  repu- 
table honor  recognizes  the  in- 
dividuals leadership  ability 
and  overall  personality. 
•  Each  year  the  student  body 
chooses  a  lady  and  a  gentle- 
man who  have  extraordinary 
leadership  qualities  to  be  se- 
lected Mr.  and  Mrs.  Union.  To 
be  selected  is  a  distinct  honor. 

All  through  the  year,  the 
SAC  and  SGA  have  offered 
many  campus  events.  Ranging 
from  concerts  by  contempo- 
rary Christian  groups  such  as 
Clad  and  Truth.  SAC  also 
sponsors  many  tournaments 
and  game  nights. 

So  as  you  can  see.  Union's 
campus  is  always  full  of  life 
and  activity.  To  find  some- 
thing to  do,  one  only  has  to 
look. 


keeping  the  crowd  involved  in  a  basketball  game  is 
the  job  of  the  cheerleaders.  Adrienne  Feltus  lends 
her  enthusiasm  to  the  job. 


Getting  To  Know 
Pres.  Barefoot 


For  any  person  in  author- 
ity to  be  effective  he  must 
form  a  bond  with  those  he 
will  serve.  The  communica- 
tion gap  must  be  bridged 
and  a  harmonious  relation- 
ship achieved.  For  the  Presi- 
dent of  Union  University 
that  process  begins  with  the 
President's  Reception. 

At  the  beginning  of  every 
fall  semester  a  reception  is 
given  outside  of  the  Coburn 
Dining  Room.  The  reception 
is  used  as  a  time  for  the  stu- 
dents to  greet  their  Presi- 
dent. Incoming  freshmen 
are  given  the  opportunity  to 


meet  Dr.  Barefoot  and  share 
a  cup  of  punch.  Returning 
students  firmly  greet  Dr. 
Barefoot  and  exchange  best 
wishes  for  the  upcoming 
year.  Through  this  friendly 
atmosphere  the  communi- 
cation barrier  quickly  disap- 
pears, a  strong  relationship 
between  the  President  and 
students  forms,  and  the 
stage  for  a  successful  year  is 
set. 

The  reception  is  enjoyed 
by  all  who  attend.  By  the 
end  of  the  evening  everyone 
can  call  Dr.  Barefoot  their 
friend.

Unsung  Heroes 
Make  Pageant  Success 


The  night  of  March  19, 
1988,  went  off  without  a 
hitch.  The  Miss  Union  Pag- 
eant went  smooth  as  al- 
ways, but  nobody  realized 
the  hours  of  hard  work  that 
went  into  the  sets,  lights, 
and  sound  for  the  pageant. 
If  the  props  would  have  fell 
apart,  if  the  lights  would 
have  flickered,  or  if  the  mc's 
mic  would  have  cut  off  then 
everyone  would  have  recog- 
nized the  mistakes.  An  old 
saying  is  "if  no  one  com- 
plains, the  crew  has  done  a 
good  job."  Did  you  hear 
anyone  complaining? 

Weeks  of  preparation  are 
needed  to  stage  a  produc- 
tion such  as  the  Miss  Union 
Pageant.  Scaffolds  are  con- 
structed to  support  the 
lights.  Platforms  are  set  up 
for  the  spot  lights.  The  set- 
ting for  the  stage  must  be 
designed  and  built.  Sound 


check  after  sound  check 
must  be  performed  to  assure 
the  finest  quality  possible. 
All  of  this  and  more  goes 
into  an  excellent  show. 

What  kinds  of  people 
compose  the  crews  that  are 
in  charge  of  production? 
They  come  from  the  science 
department,  the  business 
department,  and  from  com- 
munications, but  they  all 
possess  one  quality  that  is 
needed  for  these  jobs.  They 
all  have  a  sense  of  dedica- 
tion to  give  of  their  very 
best  to  assure  a  memorable 
show  for  all  in  attendance. 
These  people  come  together 
the  week  of  pageant  to  fi- 
nalize their  efforts.  They 
forego  their  studies  to 
spend  countless  hours  in 
the  chapel.  Long  afternoons 
and  longer  nights  make  for 
an  unforgettable  Miss 
Union  Pageant. 


Student  Publication 's  Wendy  Pirtle 
performs  "Maybe  This  Time"  for  her 
talent  portion  of  competition. 


Jennifer  Smith  finishes  her  piano  per- 
formance of  "The  Revolutionary  Etude 
Opus  10.  No.   12." 


Sheila  Robbins  performs  a  dramatic 
selection  entitled  "Martha".  Sheila 
went  on  to  be  named  Miss  Conge- 
niality, a  most  honored  award  he- 
cause  the  contestants  vote  for  the 
winner  themselves. 


Many  contestants  feel  swimsuit  competition  is 
the  hardest  part  of  the  pageant.  Here  Leslie  lid 
well,  demonstrate  the  poise  and  grace  necessary 
for  this  portion  of  competition. 


Catherine  Peel  displays  the  confidence  necessary 
for  the  evening  gown  competition.  Catherine  rep- 
resented Phi  Alpha  Theta. 


Eleven  Contestants 
Vie  For  Crown 


The  tension  of  pageant  day 
began  early  Saturday.  Each 
contestant  was  scheduled  to 
meet  with  the  judges  for  the 
dreaded  interview.  After  the 
interview,  each  lady  was  given 
a  few  hours  to  relax  before  the 
final  countdown.  The  chapel 
was  filled,  the  lights  were  off. 
and  the  orchestra  began  to 
play  when  our  Master  of  Cere- 
monies, Tom  Prestigiacomo 
presented  the  contestants. 
While  wearing  their  interview 
attire,  each  contestant  re- 
vealed the  organization  they 
were  representing.  Next  the  la- 
dies hurriedly  went  back  to 
the  dressing  room  to  change 
into  their  evening  gowns.  This 
competition  is  the  most  glam- 
orous event  of  the  night.  Each 


lady  gracefully  presented  her 
gown  to  the  audience  and 
judges.  The  next  competitive 
event  was  the  talent  portion  of 
the  pageant.  Each  contestant 
displayed  a  unique  talent 
ranging  from  vocal  and  dra- 
matic presentations  to  piano 
performance.  This  competition 
is  the  most  favored  by  the  au- 
dience. 

The  final  event  of  pageant 
was  the  swimsuit  competition. 
The  ladies  elegantly  breezed 
across  the  stage  and  then 
down  the  runway.  Once  again 
the  ladies  left  the  stage,  but 
only  to  return  a  few  moments 
later  in  evening  gowns  for  the 
awards  ceremony.  All  the  hard 
work  and  preparation  was  now 
over  and  had  paid  off.

Caryn  Dement 
Crowned  As  The 
New  Miss  Union 
University 


March  19  became  a 
magical  night  for  one 
young  lady  as  Master  of 
Ceremonies.  Tom  Presti- 
giacomo.  announced  the 
winners  of  the  1988  Miss 
Union  University  Pageant. 
Caryn  Dement  a  19-year- 
old  freshman  from  Jack- 
son. TN  had  charmed  and 
performed  her  way  to  the 
crown.  Interestingly 
enough.  Caryn  is  the  third 
freshman  in  a  row  to  win 
the  title  of  Miss  Union 
University. 

Although  a  beauty 
queen.  Caryn  is  more 
than  a  pretty  face.  She  is  a 
talented  lady  whose 
beauty  is  more  than  skin 
deep.  For  her  talent, 
Caryn  performed  a  con- 
temporary piano  piece 
entitled  "Rumba"!  She 
has  been  playing  the  pi- 
ano for  thirteen  years  and 
when  asked  why  she 
chose  this  particular 
piece  she  spoke  of  her 
love  for  contemporary 
music  and  how  she  want- 
ed to  get  the  audience 
motivated.  Caryn  has  al- 
ways enjoyed  being  in 
pageants  because  of  the 


competition,  and  entered 
many  while  in  high 
school. 

Caryn  began  working 
with  her  coaches  immedi- 
ately after  the  Miss  Union 
pageant  in  preparation 
for  the  Miss  Tennessee 
Pageant.  Taking  judges 
advice  and  keeping  up 
with  current  events,  she 
began  her  preparations. 

Miss  Dement  is  an  ele- 
mentary education  major 
and  chose  to  come  Union 
because  it  is  a  private 
Christian  school  much 
like  her  high  school.  Old 
Hickory  Academy.  Car- 
yn's  hobbies  include  pi- 
ano, tennis,  snow  and  wa- 
ter skiing,  swimming,  and 
horseback  riding. 

Even  though  she  plans 
to  keep  the  same  piece  of 
music,  swimsuit.  and 
dress  for  the  next  step, 
there  is  still  a  long,  tough, 
road  ahead  of  her  and  we 
wish  her  the  best  of  luck. 

Caryn  Dement,  Miss 
Union  University  1988,  is 
definitely  more  than  just 
a  pretty  face.  Congratula- 
tions Caryn  on  a  job  well 
done. 


Miss  Caryn  Dement,  a  19-year-old  freshman  from  Jackson.  Tl^  was 
crowned  Miss  Union  University  I9SS  on  March  19.  I9S8  while 
representing  Chi  Omega.

Pilgrim's  Progress 
Kicks  Off  Season 


Each  year  the  theatre 
draws  the  student  body,  fac- 
ulty, and  community  to- 
gether to  the  cultural  event 
of  acting.  This  year  Pilgrim 
was  chosen  for  one  of  their 
fall  productions.  Pilgrim  is 
based  on  the  novel  Pilgrim 's 
Progress  by  John  Bunyun. 
Pilgrim  is  an  allegory  which 
has  only  seven  cast  mem- 
bers, but  they  play  over  30 
different  roles.  The  first  pro- 
duction was  scheduled  for 
November  12.  14,  16,  and 
1 7  with  special  dinner  the- 
atres on  November  20  and 
21. 


Also  this  year,  the  A.D. 
Players  kicked  off  the  Ly- 
ceum 's  spring  program.  The 
five-day  performance  of 
John  His  Story  began  on 
Friday,  February  5.  The  A.D. 
Players  consist  of  only  4  ac- 
tors which  use  only  a  mini- 
mum of  props  and  different 
costumes.  The  A.D.  Players 
created  over  25  various 
characters  from  the  gospel 
of  John.  One  reason  for  the

All-Sing  1987 

And  The 

Winn  ere  Is 

.  .  .   SAE 


All-Sing  is  a  time  when  various 
groups  join  together  to  present  their 
talents.  Each  group  must  perform 
both  a  sacred  and  secular  piece.  This 
year  seven  groups  competed  for  the 
coveted  title  of  All-Sing  Champions. 

The  night's  program  started  off 
with  the  ladies  of  Chi  Omega.  Chi 
Omega  was  the  1986  defending 
champions.  This  year  the  ladies  sang 
a  selection  from  Mary  Poppins  enti- 
tled "Chim-Chim  Cheree. "  "The  Maj- 
esty and  Glory  of  Your  Name"  was 
the  title  of  their  sacred  song.  Angel 
costumes  and  puffy  clouds  were  used 
to  set  the  mood.  However,  the  ladies 
of  Chi  Omega  were  unsuccessful  in 
defending  the  title,  but  they  graceful- 
ly accepted  3rd  place. 

The  men  of  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  per- 
formed "Singin'  in  the  Rain."  They 
chose  to  wear  raincoats  and  hold  um- 
brellas. They  decorated  the  stage 
with  lamp  posts  to  recreate  the  fam- 
ous Gene  Kelly  movie  scene.  Their 
sacred  song  was  entitled  "He  Holds 
the  Keys. "  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  proudly 
walked  away  with  2nd  place  for  the 
second  year  in  a  row. 

The  men  of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 
sang  a  medley  of  "Mame/What  I  did 
for  Love/Hello  Dolly!"  for  their  secu- 
lar piece  of  music.  They  chose  to  wear 
tuxedos  with  red  bow  ties  and  cum- 
berbuns  for  this  fun  spirited  combina- 
tion. SAE  opened  their  production 
with  their  sacred  piece  of  "Be  Ye 
Glad!"  For  many  in  the  audience,  it 
was  the  highlight  of  the  evening. 
With  the  combination  of  emotion  and 
humor,  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  walked 
away  with  the  first  place  trophy. 


Third  place  winner:  Chi  Omega 


Alpha  Tau  Omega 
Baptist  Student  Union 
Women's  Housing 
Zeta  Tau  Alpha 


Although  not  receiving 
any  awards,  the  four  other 
organizations  that  entered 
the  All-Sing  competition  did 
a  fine  job  nonetheless. 

Alpha  Tau  Omega  had 
the  honor  of  performing 
last.  They  performed  "Five- 
Foot  Two,  Eyes  of  Blue," 
and  "Jesus  Never  Fails.  "Al- 
pha Tau  Omega  was  direct- 
ed by  Robby  Owens.  The 
Baptist  Student  Union 
joined  the  field  of  competi- 
tion with  "It  Don't  Mean  A 
Thing, "  and  "I  Come  to  this 
Hallowed  Hour. "  They  were 
under  the  direction  of 
Tammy  Lang.   The  ladies  of 


Women's  Housing  were  un- 
successful in  recapturing 
the  title  they  lost  last  year  to 
Chi  Omega.  They  performed 
"Let  Us  Entertain  You, "  and 
"Holy  Ground."  The  ladies 
of  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  gave  an- 
other beautiful  perfor- 
mance. This  year  they  per- 
formed "Calvary's  Love" 
and  "One"  from  A  Chorus 
Line.  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  was  di- 
rected by  Amy  Peavler.  All 
organizations  should  be 
commended  for  their  fine 
jobs  and  help  in  making  the 
1987  All  Sing  presentation  a 
huge  success. 


All  competing  groups  joined  together  for  the  final 
production  of  "Sing  to  the  Lord"  directed  by 
Tommy  Rowell.

Queen  — Jane  Ann  Sage 


Homecoming  1987 


Jdjtie  Ann  Sage 
Crowned  Queen 


A  hush  came  over  the  crowd 
as  the  announcer  said,  "Your 
1987  Homecoming  Queen  is  . 
.  .  Miss  Jane  Ann  Sage!"  Jane 
Ann  was  the  overwhelming 
choice  of  the  student  body.  As 
one  student  put  it.  "To  know 
Jane  Ann  is  to  love  her. "  Her 
outgoing  personality  and  con- 
cern for  her  fellow  students 
was  more  than  enough  to 
qualify  her  for  the  title  of 
Homecoming  Queen. 

Miss  April  Champagne,  our 
1986  Homecoming  Queen, 
presented  Jane  Ann  with  the 
crown.  April  was  escorted  by 
Trent  Bullock,  our  SGA  presi- 


dent. Mr.  Reed  Walton  had 
the  pleasure  of  escorting  our 
new  Homecoming  Queen. 

Jane  Ann  is  a  senior  from 
Union  City.  TN  pursuing  a  ma- 
jor in  Management/ Marketing 
and  a  minor  in  psychology. 
She  is  an  active  Chi  Omega 
and  is  a  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 
little  sister.  She  is  currently  the 
senior  class  President,  and 
serves  in  many  other  campus 
organizations. 

Nothing  less  would  be  ex- 
pected from  a  queen  and  we 
would  like  to  express  congrat- 
ulations to  ours  —  Miss  Jane 
Ann  Sage. 


Union  Scores 
Two  Wins  At 
Homecoming 


The  Union  University  basket- 
ball teams  once  again  proved 
their  dominance  in  the  annual 
Homecoming  classic.  This  year's 
opponent  was  crosstown  rival. 
Lane  College  Dragons.  This  was 
the  second  year  in  a  row  for  the 
men  to  play  Lane  for  Homecom- 
ing, but  it  was  the  first  time  in 
many  years  for  the  ladies. 

The  Lady  Bulldogs  took  the 
court  with  an  air  of  confidence, 
grabbed  control,  and  never 
looked  back.  After  building  up 
an  eleven  point  halftime  lead, 
the  women  cruised  to  a  92-54 
victory.  The  Lady  Bulldogs  were 
led  by  Shea  Piercey  and  Rachal 


Arnold  who  scored  eighteen  and 
fourteen  points  respectively.  This 
was  the  team 's  sixth  straight  win 
compared  to  no  losses.  By  this 
time  it  was  apparent  what  kind  of 
season  the  Lady  Bulldogs  would 
have. 

The  men,  on  the  other  hand, 
had  all  they  could  handle.  After 
building  up  a  lead,  they  saw  it 
fade  away  in  the  first  half  At 
halftime  Union  was  behind  Lane 
32-35.  The  second  half  wit- 
nessed a  see  saw  battle  with  the 
Union  Bulldogs  squeeking  out  a 
75-  73  win.  The  men  were  led  by 
Rick  Rudesilis  nineteen  points 
and  Stevie  Howard's  fourteen. 


The  win  evened  out  the  Bull- 
dog's record  at  six  wins  and  six 
loses. 

The  Homecoming  games  are 
tradition,  and  they  are  always 
exciting.  They  are  what  makes 
Homecoming  so  special.  They 
give  faculty,  staff,  alumni,  and 
students,  all  a  chance  to  mingle, 
get  to  know  each  other,  and 
spend  an  afternoon  together  as 
part  of  Union  University's  family. 


During  a  time  oul.  Coach  David  Blackstock

Introduction 


.  .  .  from  academics  to  hob- 
bies, what  ever  your  interest. 
Union  has  the  club  for  you. 

Extracurricular  activities  are 
a  vital  part  of  any  college  stu- 
dent's life.  It  is  important  to  be 
involved  both  socially  and 
mentally.  Many  experts  have 
spoken  of  the  importance  of 
being  involved  in  extracurricu- 
lar activities  and  how  they 
shape  and  mold  the  individual 
into  a  responsible  person. 

If  your  interested  in  music. 
Union  is  well  equipped  with 
organizations  for  you.  Organi- 
zations include:  Phi  Mu  Alpha, 
Sigma  Alpha  lota.  Covenant, 
Proclamation,  Chorus,  Singers 
Symphonic  and  Stage  Bands, 
and  Handbells.  If  you  are  in- 
terested in  academics  depend- 
ing on  your  major  interest. 
Union  offers.  Sigma  Zeta,  Al- 
pha Chi,  Kappa  Mu  Epsilon. 
Phi  Sigma  lota.  Pi  Alpha  Theta 
just  to  name  a  few.  Or  if  your 
into  politics.  Union  has  SGA. 
Senate,  and  the  Andrew  T.  Tip 
Pre-Legal  Society.  These  are 
just  a  few  of  the  many  types  of 
clubs  Union  offers. 


It  is  always  a  major  event 
when  a  new  organization  is 
brought  on  to  a  campus.  This 
year  Union  was  honored  to 
welcome  Sigma  Delta,  a  pro- 
fessional fraternity  for  physi- 
cal education  majors  and  mi- 
nors. The  fraternity  was 
established  by  the  chapter 
from  Murray  State  University, 
on  December  4,  1987. 

Union  also  welcomed  a  new 
group  on  campus  called  Peer 
Counselors.  These  students 
help  with  the  College  Life  at 
Union  (CLU)  classes,  through- 
out the  fall  semester.  These 
students  are  instrumental  in 
helping  freshmen  make  the 
transformation  from  high 
school  to  college  student 
smoothly. 

So  as  you  can  see.  Union 
has  alot  to  offer  the  person 
who  wants  to  be  involved.  The 
only  problem  a  student  may 
have  is  choosing  which  orga- 
nization to  join.  What  ever  the 
decision  is,  it  is  bound  to  make 
the  student  happy  and 
fulfilled.

Women's  Missionary

BYW  trains  its  members 
to  be  aware  of  mis- 
sions, both  foreign  and 
at  home.  The  training 
that  these  individuals 
participated  in  this  year 
consisted  of  sending 
missionaries  letters  and 
birthday  cards,  going 
to  the  World  Missions 
Conference  and  hold- 
ing a  spiritual  gifts  con- 
ference. They  also  held

brought  together  for  a 
private  observance  of 
the  Passover,  honoring 
Christ  Jesus  and  re- 
creating the  closeness

The  Fellowship  of  Christian  Athletes  is  a 
national  organization  seeking  to  promote 
Christian  fellowship  among  varsity  athletes 
as  well  as  those  who  lettered  in  high  school 
athletics.  FCA  is  interdenominational  and 
open  to  all  individuals  who  would  like  to 
participate.  They  also  attempt  to  help  those 
athletes,  who  desire  to  grow  in  Christian 
commitment  express  faith  in  Christ  in  athlet- 
ics, and  share  their  faith  by  their  participa- 
tion in  these  activities.  By  their  witness  these 
promising  individuals  can  show  others  how 
Christ  lives  through  them.  A  friendly  atten- 
tive ear  that  actually  hears  is  sometimes  all  a 
person  needs  to  be  able  to  reach  their  full 
potential. 


Sigma  Delta  is  a  P.E.  and  Health  Scholastic 
Honorary  Fraternity  open  for  membership  by 
qualified  P.E.  Majors  and  minors.  To  be  eligi- 
ble for  membership  a  person  must  have  a  2.0 
overall  with  a  2.1  in  P.E..  with  these  stan- 
dards to  be  raised  over  the  next  three  years. 

Sigma  Delta  was  founded  at  Murray  State 
University  to  recognize  academic  excellence 
in  the  fields  of  P.E.  and  Health.  The  chapter 
at  Union  University  was  installed  December 
4.  1987  by  a  team  from  Murray  State.  This 
new  organization,  we  are  certain,  will  grow 
quickly  if  fueled  by  dedication.  An  attitude 
of  professionalism  will  be  evident  in  these 
leaders  of  tomorrow.

Senate 


Freedom  of  speech  is  one  of  the 
basic  rights  upon  which  our  United 
States  was  founded;  it  is  a  necessity 
to  our  inalienable  human  rights  of 
life,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happi- 
ness. 

Here  at  Union  this  proud  tradition 
is  carried  on  through  fair  representa- 
tion in  the  Student  Senate.  The  Senate 
is  the  student  voice  to  Union 's  admin- 
istration. Bills  are  written  according 
to  the  needs  and  desires  of  the  stu- 
dent body  and  reviewed  carefully;  if 


passed  by  the  Senate,  they  are  taken 
up  for  consideration  by  the  adminis- 
tration. 

This  year's  Senate  has  a  different 
personality  from  those  in  the  past.  It 
is  the  goal  of  this  Senate  to  delegate 
responsibility  to  a  larger  number  of 
people,  thereby  gaining  a  broader 
opinion  from  the  student  body.  The 
hope  of  the  Senate  is  to  make  the 
student's  stay  at  Union  as  pleasurable 
as  possible. 


The  Student  Government 
Association  consists  of  the  or- 
ganized student  body  led  by 
elected  officers.  The  SGA  in- 
volves all  organizations  on 
campus  through  the  use  of  the 
Senate.  Its  main  purpose  is  to 
deal  with  and  to  bring  about 
change  in  the  school,  as  well 
as  to  provide  activities  for  the 
student  body.  The  officers  are 
essential  in  communicating 
the  needs  of  the  student  body 
to  the  faculty,  staff,  and  ad- 
ministration, and  also  plan-

The  Student  Foundation  is  a  group  of 
students  showing  outstanding  leadership 
abilities.  The  members  are  chosen  by  the 
Admission  Staff  to  aid  in  the  recruitment 
of  new  students  and  to  be  pace  setters  on 
campus.  Each  spring  students  who  are 
interested  in  becoming  members  of  the 
Student  Foundation  complete  applica- 
tions and  are  interviewed.  Thirty  mem- 
bers are  selected  for  their  leadership 
ability,  character  and  scholarship.  New 
members  go  through  a  training  program 
conducted  by  the  Admissions  Personnel. 
They  are  responsible  for  conducting 
tours  for  prospective  students  and  their 
families.  Each  member  is  also  involved  in 
a  special  telemarketing  program.  Weekly. 
Student  Foundation  members  place  calls 


to  prospective  students  to  let  them  know 
about  campus  activities,  check  to  see  if 
they  need  any  information  and  answer 
any  questions  they  might  have  about 
Union  University.  Members  often  house 
prospective  students  in  their  rooms  when 
guests  visit  campus  overnight.  Student 
Foundation  members  serve  as  a  vital  link 
to  the  surrounding  community  by  speak- 
ing at  local  churches  and  clubs  as  well  as 
making  visits  with  the  admission  coun- 
selors. Their  correspondence  with  alumni 
is  another  important  contribution  of  the 
Student  Foundation  members.  Overall 
the  Student  Foundation  work  to  create 
goodwill  through  extending  Union's 
hand  of  hospitality.

Union  University  initiated  its  freshmen  ori- 
entation program  last  fall  after  seeing  the  idea 
tried,  tested,  and  refined  at  numerous  universi- 
ties and  colleges  throughout  the  nation.  Its 
College  Life  at  Union  has  proven  to  be  a  suc- 
cess, and  the  academic  program  will  return  this 
fall  with  changes  in  its  curriculum. 

College  Life  at  Union  is  the  official  orienta- 
tion program  for  incoming  freshmen.  Freshmen 
attend  weekly  one-hour  classes  during  the  fall 
semester  and  receive  credit  for  the  course, 
which  is  compulsory.  The  primary  focus  of  the 
program  is  to  provide  a  buffer  for  students  who 
have  never  attended  college.  To  facilitate  the 
students'  smooth  adjustment  to  all  aspects  of 
academia,  last  year's  faculty  and  student  peer 
counselors  covered  everything  from  notetaking 
to  social  life  in  their  classes. 

The  course  material  for  fall  1988  has  been 
revised,  according  to  CLU  coordinator  Dr.  Cyn- 
thia Jayne.  "Last  year  was  a  learning  experi- 
ence for  us  all.  Now  we  have  a  better  idea  of 
what  works  and  what  doesn't. "  Union  will  use 
course  material  that  was  comprised  by  Boston 
University,  a  school  that  has  one  of  the  highest 
GPA  percentages  in  the  nation.  The  University 
attributes  much  of  its  students '  success  to  its 
highly  productive  orientation  program. 

The  specifics  of  the  classes,  which  began  in 
late  August  were  refined  during  work  retreats 
and  meetings  held  during  the  summer  to  insure 
that  all  aspects  on  College  Life  at  Union  flowed 
smoothly  in  the  fall  semester.

Pi  Kappa 
Delta 


The  ability  to  speak  clearly 
and  effectively  is  an  important 
quality  to  get  ahead  in  today's 
fast-paced  world.  A  very  skilled 
person  has  a  special  talent  for 
being  able  to  cover  up  total  igno- 
rance on  a  topic  with  good 
speech.  With  over  500  chapters. 
Pi  Kappa  Delta  is  one  of  the  old- 
est and  largest  forensic  fraterni- 
ties in  existence.  Union 's  chapter 
was  chartered  in  1985.  Members 
of  the  Speech  and  Debate  team 
are  eligible  for  membership  in  Pi 
Kappa  Delta  after  competing  in 
three  tournaments.  This  group  is 
sponsored  by  Mr.  David  Burke. 


Sigma  Tau  Delta  is  the  National  En- 
glish Honor  Society.  It  affords  exception- 
al students  an  opportunity  to  develop 
their  skills  in  creative  and  critical  writing, 
and  to  foster  a  spirit  of  fellowship. 

Fall  activities  included  initiation  of 
new  members  and  a  special  guest  lectur- 
er. Dr.  Rusty  Mclntyre.  a  professor  of  Phi- 
losophy from  Lambuth  College.  In  the 
spring.  Dr.  Bentley  addressed  the  group 
about  her  trip  to  England  and  Ireland. 
The  group  also  attended  Romeo  and 
Juliet. 

The  group  is  open  to  all  English/ 
Journalism  majors  and  minors  who  meet 
certain  academic  criteria.  The  members 
seek  to  uphold  their  official  motto.  "Sin- 
cerity. Truth.  Design.  "

If  you  have  visited  Union  Universi- 
ty's art  gallery  you  have  probably 
seen  some  of  the  work  of  members  of 
the  Kappa  Pi  art  fraternity.  Art  is  a 
very  effective  form  of  communication 
which  allows  us  to  take  a  different 
look  at  things  around  us. 

The  purpose  of  Kappa  Pi.  an  honor- 
ary art  fraternity,  is  to  raise  the  stan- 
dards of  productive  artistic  work 
among  the  students  and  to  furnish 
high  reward  for  making  a  conscien- 
tious effort  in  furthering  the  best  in- 
terest of  art. 

Membership  is  open  to  students 
with  twelve  hours  of  art  with  an  aver- 
age of  B  or  above.

phreys. Steve  Williams,  and  Brian  Killian. 


There  is  more  to  putting  together  a 
yearbook  than  most  realize.  Layouts  are 
drawn,  checked  and  changed,  pictures 
taken  (and  retaken),  pictures  cropped, 
copy  written,  pages  checked  and  dou- 
ble-checked, sent  to  the  plant,  sent 
back  as  proofs,  then  sent  back  again 
with  corrections,  and  then  after  all  this 
is  done  224  times  does  it  come  back  to 
you  as  a  yearbook. 

This  year  the  yearbook  has  gone 
through  many  changes.  Of  course,  this 
is  the  first  Fall  yearbook  Union  has  ever 
had.  This  enables  the  staff  to  better  cov- 


er the  year's  events.  Such  things  as  the 
Lady  Bulldogs  trip  to  Kansas  City  and 
graduation  would  not  have  been  cov- 
ered otherwise.  Also  there  have  been 
many  changes  in  layout  design.  Larger 
pictures  and  less  overlapping  was  incor- 
porated throughout  the  yearbook  to 
give  a  major  college  yearbook  feel. 

Working  on  the  yearbook,  takes  long 
hours  of  work  and  dedication.  Each 
staff  member  is  expected  to  do  his  or 
her  own  part.  Capturing  the  year's  mo- 
ments and  memories  is  a  monumentous 
task.  It  isn't  easy  but  it  is  rewarding. 


Lest  We  Forget 


The  Cardinal  and  Cream, 
Union  University's  official  stu- 
dent newspaper  since  I  BOS.  un- 
derwent many  changes  during 
the  past  year.  Designed  to  give 
the  "journalist  of  tomorrow" 
valuable  experience,  the  produc- 
tion of  the  student  publication, 
with  the  exception  of  printing,  is 
handled  completely  by  students. 
This  includes  reporting,  writing, 
typesetting,  photography,  and 
layout. 

Another  important  transition 
was  the  look  of  the  newspaper.  It 
now  sports  a  new  masthead  de- 
signed     by      Advisor      Bob 


(Front  Row.  I.  to  r.)  Susan  Watt.  Editor;  Lynn 
Armstrong.  Associate  Editor:  Carrie  Rostol-

Eric  Mason.  Kerry  Rial.  Eric  Jackson.  Missy 
McBride.  Kecia  Grant.   Wendy  Murchison. 


Shuttleworth  and  Editor  Susan 
Watt.  The  content  has  expanded 
to  cover  areas  of  interest  to  the 
entire  student  body  such  as 
sports,  book  and  movie  reviews, 
organizational  news,  student 
and  faculty  features,  crossword 
puzzles,  editorial  cartoons,  and 
the  "forum"  which  provides  an 
opportunity  for  both  faculty  and 
students  to  give  their  opinions 
on  a  variety  of  pressing  and 
sometimes  controversial  issues. 
This  year's  staff  also  put  forth 
extra  effort  to  increase  the  pro- 
duction rate  of  the  paper.  The 
staff  attempted  to  produce  a  pa- 


per bimonthly  during  the  fall  and 
spring  semesters.  However,  ob- 
stacles with  the  new  desk-top 
publishing  system  sometimes 
created  delays. 

It  is  published  by  the  Commu- 
nications Department  and  at- 
tempts to  inspire  students 
through  personal  involvement. 
The  newspaper  covers  all  cam- 
pus news  in  addition  to  some  lo- 
cal and  national  features.  It 
strives  to  accurately  portray  the 
campus  through  the  printed  me- 
dia and  helps  students  to  keep 
up  with  important  events.

ship honor  society  founded  in  Texas  in 
1922.  whose  membership  is  composed  of 
the  top  ten  percent  of  the  junior  and  sen- 
ior classes.  The  object  of  Alpha  Chi  is  the 
promotion  and  recognition  of  Scholarship

and  is  reflected  in  the  society's  motto-.  "Ye 
shall  know  the  truth,  and  the  truth  shall 
make  you  free"  (John  8:32). 

These  are  just  a  few  of  the  things  that 
the  students  who  were  initiated  on  Febru- 
ary 24,  1988  discovered  about  Alpha  Chi. 
These  members  include:  Lynn  Deshea 
Armstrong,  Richard  A.  Bradford  Jr.,  Bren-

Stout,  Kelly  Anne  Troutt,  Tracy  Scott  Wad- 
ley,  Linda  Carol  Walls,  Susan  Watt,  and 
Donna  Lynn  Williams. 

Another  special  event  that  occurred  at 
this  time  was  the  initiation  of  Dr.  Louise 
Bentley  as  an  honorary  member  of  the  Al- 
pha Chi  chapter.  Dr.  Bentley  has  served  as 
an  Alpha  Chi  sponsor  for  the  past  five 
years. 

The  members  of  Alpha  Chi  was  graduat- 
ed this  year  were  distinguished  during  the 
graduation  ceremony  by  the  gold  tassel 
cords  they  were  wearing.  This  is  the  only 
society  on  campus  allowed  to  wear  this 
type  of  a  recognition  during  the  ceremony.

As  our  world  daily  becomes 
more  complicated,  the  law  pro- 
fession must  change  and  grow  to 
meet  our  needs  and  to  protect 
our  rights.  The  Andrew  T.  "Tip"

formed  to  give  interested  stu- 
dents a  view  of  the  various  op- 
portunities opening  up  within 
the  law  profession,  a  glance  into 
what  they  might  expect  at  law

kind  of  preparation  they  need  on 
the  under-graduate  level.  Mem- 
bership is  open  to  history  majors

Phi  Sigma  Iota 


Linguae  Mundi  is  a  club  for  anyone 
and  everyone  who  wants  to  learn 
about  different  cultures.  This  year 
they  have  used  the  resources  in  our 
own  school  to  learn  about  just  a  few 
cultures.  Dr.  Clyde  Tilley  presented  a 
slide  show  on  his  trip  to  Russia  and 
the  officers  cooked  Russian  meals  so 
the  group  could  get  a  first  hand  idea 
of  what  Russian  culture  is  like,  and 
Monica  Powers  spoke  to  the  group 
about  Thailand.  Then  to  honor  St. 
Patrick's  Day.  Dr.  Louise  Bentley  pre- 
sented her  slide  show  of  her  trip  to 
Ireland  and  the  sponsor  for  the  group, 
Mrs.  Jean  Marie  Walls,  baked  an  Irish 
cake.  All  in  all  the  club  has  been  very

Computer  Club 


The  Computer  Club  is  a  club 
for  students  interested  in  com- 
puters. The  club  has  been  very 
active  this  past  year  with  its  fa- 
vorite spot  to  have  meetings  be- 
ing at  Village  Inn.  Even  though  it 
is  a  party,  the  club  gets  more 
work  done  than  you  might  ex- 
pect. For  instance,  the  project  for 
this  year  is  to  get  a  questionnaire 
written  and  sent  to  all  computer 
science  majors  and  minors  who 
have  graduated  to  find  out  just 
how  much  they  learned  is  used 
after  graduation.  It  is  to  help  the 
professors  as  well  as  the  students 
learn  from  qualified  profession- 
als. 


To  further  interest  in  the  study  of 
mathematics  and  to  promote  aware- 
ness of  its  benefits  to  society  are  two 
of  the  main  reasons  the  national  hon- 
orary mathematics  society  Kappa  Mu 
Epsilon  was  established.  The  Tennes- 
see Gamma  chapter  at  Union  Univer- 
sity was  established  in  1965.  It  is 
sponsored  by  Mr.  Dwyane  Jennings 
and  Mr.  Don  Richard. 

To  become  a  member  of  this  chap- 
ter one  must  have  completed  at  least 
three  math  courses  with  one  being 
Calculus  I,  have  at  least  a  3.0  grade 
point  average  in  mathematics,  and  be 
in  the  top  thirty-five  percent  of  his 
class.

foot  forward  in  the  future. 


Business 
Club 


Students  hoping  to  break  into  to- 
day's business  world  find  them- 
selves in  the  Union  University  Busi- 
ness Club.  The  purpose  of  the  club 
is  to  better  equip  the  business  stu- 
dent for  his  planned  career.  Mem- 
bership is  open  to  students  main- 
taining an  overall  average  of  at  least 
a  2.0.  This  year  with  much  group 
participation,  the  business  club  ex- 
perienced many  unusual  sites  on 
their  plant  tours.  These  students 
with  enormous  dreams  of  being 
business  executives  of  tomorrow  at- 
tain more  information  at  each  meet- 
ing. Maybe  one  of  these  days  we 
will  see  a  Union  graduate  running  a 
large  corporation  or  who  knows 
maybe  even  our  country.

Union  University 
Chorus 


The  Music  Department 
of  Union  University  offers 
a  number  of  opportunities 
for  the  musically  talent- 
ed. Among  these  oppor- 
tunities are  the  vocal 
groups  which  are  selected 
by  audition  and  promote 
the  University  and  music 
itself  while  performing  at 


many  school  functions. 
However,  open  to  any 
student,  the  Union  Uni- 
versity Chorus  performs 
two  major  works  every 
year,  one  each  semester. 
Chorus  provides  an  op- 
portunity for  any  student 
who  is  interested  to  take 
part  in  classical  and  reli- 


gious choral  music. 

Solos  were  performed 
by  music  professors  and 
local  guest  soloists.  Dr. 
Joseph  Blass  directed  our 
university's  chorus  along 
with  Scott  Bennett  who 
accompanied  on  the 
organ. 


Union  University 
Singers 


The  Union  University 
Singers  are  the  main  tour- 
ing musical  group  on 
campus.  Gaining  mem- 
bership by  audition  only, 
the  Singers  practice  all 
year  for  their  annual 
spring  tour,  which  has  in- 
cluded such  places  as 
Washington.    D.C..    Ha- 


waii. Canada,  Florida, 
and  as  of  last  year.  New 
York.  They  promote 
Union,  the  music  depart- 
ment, and  the  Christian 
commitment  behind  it. 

Singers  also  perform  in 
various  chapel  services 
and  special  occasions. 
This  entertaining  choir  is 


open  through  audition  to 
any  student  who  is  devot- 
ed to  developing  and  us- 
ing his  or  her  musical  tal- 
ent. They  are  under  the 
leadership  of  Dr.  Kenneth 
Hartley.  With  the  poten- 
tial they  have,  they 
should  be  just  as  good 
next  year. 


Stage  Band  is  an  instrumental 
group  that  plays  a  variety  of  music 
from  jazz  to  contemporary  to  pop. 
It  is  an  audition  group  composed  of 
music  majors  and  minors  as  well  as 
many  other  musicians.  It  is  directed 
by  Mr.  Charles  Huffman  who  also 
plays  bass  on  his  electric  piano. 
The  group  performs  at  most  home 
ballgames.  the  Miss  Union  Pag- 
eant, community  organizations, 
and  area  high  schools.  This  year 
they  helped  bring  off  a  very  suc- 
cessful talent  show  produced  by 
the  Student  Activities  Council. 


Stage 

And 

Symphonic 

Band 


The  Symphonic  Band  members 
produce  a  well-rounded  sound 
consisting  of  brass,  percussion,  and 
woodwinds.  Together  these  instru- 
ments can  produce  glorious  songs 
in  a  variety  of  styles  such  as 
marches,  symphony  arrangements, 
movie  themes,  and  patriotic  bal- 
lads. These  songs  can  be  heard  at 
their  bi-annual  concerts.  They  give 
the  school  a  special  treat  and  make 
graduation  even  more  special  by 
donating  live  music  to  the  occa- 
sion. They  communicate  the  uni- 
versal language  of  music. 


Handbells 


Imagine  one  day  that  you  hap- 
pen to  be  walking  through  the 
music  department  when  all  of  a 
sudden  you  hear  bells  ringings. 
Hark!  Could  it  be  the  man  or 
woman  of  your  dreams?  But  alas 
—  no  one  is  there.  You  are 
crushed!  However  there  is  one 
consolation.  That  beautiful  music 
you  were  hearing  is  not  faked  or 
imagined  but  real.  The  U.U. 
handbell  choir  plays  this  light- 
hearted  music  for  many  occa- 
sions. The  choir  consists  of  eight 
members  who  play  three  octaves 
of  bells.  They  perform  in  the  mu- 
sic department's  Christmas  pro- 
gram and  in  chapel.  The  choir  is 
led  by  Dr.  Kenneth  Hartley.

Proclamation 


Proclamation,  one  of 
the  most  prominant 
music  groups  on  cam- 
pus, is  composed  of 
specially  selected  mu- 
sic majors.  They  are  an 
auditioned  ensemble 
which  performs  at  vari- 
ous banquets,  church- 
es, and  programs  for 
Union.  Under  the  di- 
rection of  Miss  Robin 
Flood,  the  group  strives 
to  grow  individually  as 
Christians  and  "pro- 
claim "  the  word  of  our 
Lord  to  the  glory  and 
honor  of  his  name. 
Through  their  words 
and  voices  we  can  feel 
closer  and  learn  how  to 
praise  the  name  of  our 
Lord.  They  are  an  ex- 
cellent example  for  us 
to  follow  and  we  as  a 
school  could  learn 
much  from  them. 


Covenant 


Covenant  is  one  of 
our  established  vocal 
ensembles  here  at 
Union  University.  They 
act  as  a  public  relations 
group  for  the  school 
and  perform  through- 
out the  year  at  various 
churches,  banquets, 
and  several  perfor- 
mances at  our  universi- 
ty. Their  main  purpose 
at  Union  is  to  serve  the 
Lord  through  their  mu- 
sic and  express  their 
joy  at  knowing  the  Lord 
through  the  use  of  their 
musical  talents.  They 
focused  quite  a  bit  of 
attention  on  an  on- 
campus  ministry  by 
singing  in  chapel  and 
with  other  functions. 
This  talented  group  of 
performers  entertain  us 
at  every  concert  they 
give  and  leave  us  think- 
ing about  our  Lord.

The  special  bond  of  friendship  thai  forms  between

Introduction  . 


.  .  .  there  is  a  very  special 
bond  of  brotherhood  and  sis- 
terhood. 

Every  greek  organization  on 
campus  offers  opportunities 
for  the  growth  of  the  individ- 
ual and  friendships  that  will 
last  a  lifetime. 

Acceptance  into  a  greek  or- 
ganization comes  after  a  long 
week  called  "Rush".  Rush 
week  gives  prospective  mem- 
bers a  chance  to  see  what 
greek  life  is  all  about  and  to 
decide  which  fraternity  or  so- 
rority is  best  for  them.  The 
week  consists  of  various  par- 
ties, such  as  "skit"  and  "dis- 
play", to  the  more  serious 
preference  party  for  the  soror- 
ities. The  fraternity  rush  is 
somewhat  simple  but  it  lasts 
longer,  as  it  lasts  two  weeks 
instead  of  just  one. 

After  being  accepted  into  a 
greek  organization,  the  activi- 
ties fills  the  member's  calen- 
dar. Whether  it  be  Campus 
Day,  All  Sing,  this  weeks  party, 
or  this  month's  philanthropy, 
the  members  are  always  on  the 
run. 


For  those  not  in  a  fraternity 
or  sorority,  it  is  hard  for  them 
to  understand  the  loyalty  and 
dedication  that  a  member  has 
for  their  organization.  Mem- 
bers have  been  accused  of 
buying  friends.  But  those  in 
the  know,  see  it  much  differ- 
ently. Here  at  Union,  there  is 
perceived  gap  between  those 
that  are  greek  and  those  that 
are  not.  Whether  there  is  a  gap 
or  not,  there  needs  to  be  a 
conscious  effort  by  all  to  close 
it. 

Next  year.  Union  welcomes 
a  new  sorority.  Kappa  Delta. 
Kappa  Delta  will  raise  the 
number  of  sororities  to  three, 
and  equal  the  number  of  fra- 
ternities. The  major  advantage 
of  a  third  sorority  is  the  lower- 
ing of  the  intense  rivalry  be- 
tween Chi  Omega  and  Zeta 
Tau  Alpha.  Kappa  Delta  brings 
with  it  a  rich  history  and 
strong  backing  from  other  lo- 
cal chapters.  It  will  be  interest- 
ing to  see  how  this  addition 
will  effect  the  face  of  greek  life 
at  Union. 


Leigh  McLain  of  Chi  Omega  shows  her  determination 
and  spirit  for  her  sorority.  Contest  such  as  the  tug-o- 
war  are  just  a  small  part  of  the  greek  experience. 


Rob  Shelter  and  Jay  Culpepper  of  Lamda  Chi  Alpha  pull  their 
chariot  across  the  finish  line.  Lamda  Chi  made  a  very  strong 
second  place  showing  in  this  year's  Olympics. 


Chi  Omega  spells  out  their  spirit  during  the  pre 
Olympic  portion  of  the  afternoon  events. 


Zeta  Tau  Alpha's  Kristen  Miller  shows  her  enthusiasm  for 
her  sorority  during  Campus  Day  festivities.

chariot  race.  SAE  finished  in  first  an  their  way  to 
capturing  the  overall  Greek  Olympics  championship. 


Greek  Olympics  Bring 
Fun  And  Excitement 


Fun  and  excitement  fills  the 
air  every  year  for  campus  day 
and  the  Greek  Olympics.  High 
school  juniors  and  seniors  come 
from  all  over  to  see  our  campus 
up  close.  They  are  taken  on  ex- 
tensive tours,  provided  informa- 
tion on  expenses,  and  hear  a 
concert  by  one  of  the  top  com- 
temporary  groups  around.  They 
also  get  to  witness  one  of  the 
most  spectacular  events  that 
stems  form  ancient  times  —  The 
Greek  Olympics. 

The  five  greek  organizations 
on  campus  display  their  finest 


members  in  various  catagories. 
The  sororities  spring  into  action 
with  their  extensively  rehearsed 
pyramid  building  competition. 
Then  the  all  important  relay  race. 
Four  girls  from  each  sorority  pass 
the  baton  attempting  to  out  dis- 
tance the  others  to  the  finish 
line.  Also,  the  women  participate 
in  a  Softball  throw.  Participants 
from  each  sorority  display  their 
techniques  and  heave  a  Softball 
as  far  as  possible.  The  last  and 
most  important  contest  is  the 
tug-o-war.  This  often  decides  the 
champion  for  the  sororities.  This 


year,  the  ladies  of  Chi  Omega 
were  victorious. 

For  the  men,  there  are  similar 
contests  testing  skill  and 
strength.  From  the  javelin  throw 
to  the  tug-o-war,  the  competi- 
tion is  fierce.  But  what  makes  the 
men's  competition  unique  is  the 
ancient  Chariot  race.  SAF's  char- 
iot crossed  the  finish  line  first 
giving  them  the  championship.

"To  bind  men  together  in 
a  brotherhood  based  upon 
eternal  and  immutable  prin- 
ciples with  a  bond  as  strong 
as  right  itself  and  as  lasting 
as  humanity  .  .  .  ",  so  begins 
the  creed  of  the  Alpha  Tau 
Omega  fraternity.  These 
words,  penned  over  100 
years  ago  by  Otis  Allan  Gla- 
zebrook.  continue  to  inspire 
ATOs  today. 

The  Alpha  Tau  Omega 
fraternity  was  founded  on 
September  II,  1865,  and 
was  the  first  fraternity 
founded  after  our  nation's 
Civil  War.  Seeking  to  bind 
men  together  in  Christian 
brotherhood.  Alpha  Tau 
Omega  chartered  Union 's 
Beta  Tau  chapter  on  Febru- 
ary 28,  1894.  Within  ATO 
you  find  opportunities  for 
self-expression,    leadership. 


life-long  brotherhood  and 
genuine  recognition  of  your 
accomplishments. 

Intramural  sports  serve  as 
an  important  outlet  from  the 
pressures  of  college  life. 
Football,  basketball,  and 
Softball  are  just  some  of  the 
sports  the  ATOs  look  for- 
ward to  participating  in 
each  and  every  year.  Taking 
pride  in  intramurals  —  us- 
ing them  as  a  tool  for  the 
growth  and  development  of 
the  chapter  —  produces 
life-long  lasting  friendships. 

Alpha  Tau  Omega's  col- 
ors are  azure  and  gold  with 
the  white  tea  rose  as  its 
flower  and  the  frog  as  its 
mascot.  Stressing  Christ's 
teachings  first,  brother- 
hood, and  the  elevation  of 
man  is  Alpha  Tau  Omega's 
goal.

The  hdies  of  Chi  Omega  were  unsuccess- 
ful in  defending  their  All  Sing  champion- 
ship, but  were  awarded  the  third  place 
trophy  for  their  effort. 


Upsilon  Chapter  of  Chi 
Omega  had  an  extremely 
busy  year.  Rush  Week  was 
full  of  various  parties  in- 
cluding Panhellenic.  Dis- 
play, Skit,  and  Preference. 
Bids  went  out  to  forty-two 
excited  Chi-O  pledges. 

These  pledges  were  ex- 
posed to  the  fun  and  frolic 
of  greek  life  when  they  at- 
tended a  weekend  Pledge 
Retreat.  Active  sisters  and 
new  pledges  took  advan- 
tage of  the  opportunity  to 
get  to  know  each  other. 

On  October  5.  Chi  Omega 
sponsored  a  Crush  Party  for 
sought-after  bachelors  on 
campus.  On  Campus  Day 
Chi  Omega  won  the  spirit 
and  greek  Olympic  awards. 
Later  in  the  month  the  Chi 
Omegas  donned  their  dou- 
ble-knits and  bell  bottoms 


and  headed  for  Village  Inn 
for  their  Nerd  Party.  Date 
Party  and  Eleusinia  also  oc- 
curred during  October. 

November  brought  All- 
Sing  and  Third  place  trophy 
for  the  Chi  Omegas.  The  ac- 
tives and  pledges  hosted  a 
Scholarship  Reception  in 
honor  of  the  faculty  and 
staff. 

December  was  full  of 
many  end  of  the  year  activi- 
ties. During  Homecoming 
Chi  Omega  won  the  spirit 
award.  Three  sisters  were  on 
the  court  and  Jane  Ann 
Sage  was  crowned  Queen. 
The  chapter  celebrated 
Christmas  with  a  Christmas 
Reception  given  by  the 
pledges  at  the  Humboldt 
Golf  and  Country  Club.  The 
chapter  also  held  a  party  for 
Big  and  Little  Sisters.

Chartered  on  December 
5,  1964.  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
is  Union's  newest  fraternity. 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  brought 
with  it  new  ideas  to  the 
standard  of  stereotyped  fra- 
ternity system.  One  of  these 
ideas  is  the  concept  of  asso- 
ciate membership  which  re- 
places the  old  pledgeship 
system.  It  also  brought  with 
it  the  idea  that  brotherhood 
is  achieved  not  only 
through  social  acitivites  but 
through  the  blending  of  in- 
dividual personalities  and 
service  to  the  community 
and  campus. 

Lambda  Chi  Alpha  bi-an- 
nually  sponsors  the  largest 
collegiate  blood  drive  in 
West  Tennessee  outside  the 
Memphis  area.  Lambda  Chi 
also  sponsors  a  faculty  re- 
ception,   a    sorority   recep- 


tion, a  community  food 
drive,  and  a  bi-annual  spe- 
cial Olympics  for  abused 
children.  Lambda  Chi  is  very 
proud  of  its  service  program 
and  are  pleased  to  be  able 
to  "give  a  little  back." 

Lambda  Chi  Alpha's  col- 
ors are  purple,  green,  and 
gold.  Their  flower  is  the 
white  rose  and  their  mascot 
is  the  mallard  duck.  The  fra- 
ternity carries  an  open  mot- 
to of  "every  man  a  man" 
which  expresses  their  con- 
cern over  each  individual 
person  and  his  contribu- 
tions to  society.  Lambda  Chi 
Alpha  was  founded  in  1909 
at  Boston  University  and  has 
grown  to  be  the  nation's 
third  largest  fraternity  in 
number  of  members  and  in 
number  of  active  chapters.

Throughout  its  history  at 
Union,  Tennessee  Eta  has 
kept  the  fraternity's  tradi- 
tion of  excellence. 

Excellence  is  not  deter- 
mined by  pride  alone,  but 
through  achievement.  SAE 
has  proven  to  be  a  leader 
among  Union's  Greek  orga- 
nizations and  throughout 
the  nation.  The  chapter  has 
excelled  in  scholarship, 
campus  involvement,  and 
athletics. 

The  chapter  finished  first 
in  Greek  Olympics,  as  well 
as  maintaining  the  title  of 
Intramural  Champs  for  the 
fourth  consecutive  year.  In 
the  fall  SAE  captured  the 
first  place  trophy  in  the 
campus-wide  All-Sing  for 
their  rendition  of  "Hello 
Dolly!'  and  "Be  Ye  Glad." 

The  men  of  Tennessee  Eta 


represented  their  fraternity 
and  Union  well  by  support- 
ing local  philanthropies. 
Among  their  many  efforts, 
SAE  participated  in  a  bike-a- 
thon  to  raise  money  for 
Muscular  Dystrophy.  They 
also  supplied  volunteers  for 
a  dunking  booth  at  the  West 
Tennessee  State  Fair  in 
which  the  proceeds  benefit- 
ted the  Carl  Perkins  Child 
Abuse  Center.  For  their  out- 
standing service  to  local 
charities,  Tennessee  Eta  was 
the  recipient  of  the  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  Province 
Community  Service  Award. 
"There  is  a  destiny  that 
makes  us  brothers,  no  man 
stands  along. "  Sigma  Alpha 
Epsilon  is  a  formalization  of 
a  special  kind  of  friendship 
called  brotherhood. 


SAE  prepares  to  participate  in  the  tugo-war  con- 
test during  the  Greek  Olympics.  SAE  is  always  a 
dominant  force  in  the  contest. 


Todd  Franklin  participates  in  the  Softball  throw  at 
the  Greek  Olympics.  SAE  took  first,  second,  and 
third  in  the  event  on  their  way  to  capturing  the 
Greek  Olympics  championship.

formal  functions  throughout  the  year. 


ZTA 


"Today  and  forever  we'll 
be  Zetas  true. "  This  song 
has  held  its  meaning  for  the 
ladies  of  the  international 
fraternity  ofZeta  Tau  Alpha 
since  its  founding  on  Octo- 
ber 15,  I $98  at  Longwood 
College  in  Farmville,  Virgin- 
ia. ZTA  is  presently  the  third 
largest  sorority  in  the  Pan- 
hellenic  conference  and  is 
working  toward  the  goal  of 
creating  a  more  noble  wom- 
anhood. 

The  Beta  Omega  chapter 
is  made  up  of  very  unique 
individuals.  The  love  of 
Christ  and  the  desire  to  see 
Zeta  be  the  best  it  can  be 
draws  them  together  in  the 


special  bond  of  sisterhood. 
This  bond  is  strengthened 
by  many  activities.  Forty- 
one  new  sisters  were  added 
as  a  result  of  Rush  week. 
Pledges  and  members  com- 
bine to  participate  in  the 
many  intramural  activities, 
Greek  day,  parties,  and  ser- 
vice opportunities  through- 
out the  year.  Zeta  spirit  and 
sisterhood  can  be  seen  in 
these  campus  events. 

"A  million  tomorrows  will 
all  pass  away,  ere  we  forget 
all  the  joys  that  we  share 
today. "  The  friendships  and 
memories  of  college  days 
will  always  have  a  special 
place  in  our  hearts  of  Zetas. 


The  Zeta  tug-o-war  team  gives  that  extra  effort 
during  the  contest  while  their  sisters  cheer  them 
on  to  victory. 


Hard  work  and  long  practices  were  used  to  per- 
fect the  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  pyramid. 


The  Panhellenic  and 
Interfraternity  Councils 
are  instrumental  in  the 
smooth  running  of 
Union's  Greek  system. 
Both  councils  are  com- 
prised of  delegates 
from  each  Greek  orga- 
nization. The  councils 
are  an  outlet  for  the 
different  groups  to 
communicate  impor- 
tant information  to 
each  other  in  an  effi- 
cient and  orderly  fash- 
ion, thereby  allowing 
the  fraternities  and  so- 
rorities to  co-exist  in  a 
relatively  calm 

atmosphere. 

Working  together  for 
the  welfare  of  the 
Greek  system  and  to 
unify  all  involved  is  the 
Greek  Council's  main 
objective. 

Union's  Greek  sys- 
tem is  made  up  of  two 
sororities  and  three  fra- 
ternities. They  are:  Chi

.  .  .  nationally  ranked  Lady 
bulldogs,  to  their  District  24 
Runner-up  Bulldog  baseball 
team.  Everywhere  in  between 
there  was  always  something  to 
cheer  about.  Steve  Simpson 
and  Shea  Bramley  led  the  Bull- 
dog team  golf  team  to  a  Dis- 
trict 74  Runner-up  spot.  Just 
the  year  before  Jeff  Copeland 
led  the  team  to  its  first  nation- 
al tournament.  The  Bulldog 
basketball  team  was  led  by  re- 
turning starters  Rick  Rudesill, 
David  Barham,  and  Stevie 
Howard.  The  team  fell  short  of 
its  goal  for  a  District  24  Tour- 
nament birth  for  the  first  time 
in  several  years.  The  Bulldogs 
were  in  the  process  of  a  re- 
building year  under  new  head 
coach  Bob  Ward.  The  Lady 
Bulldogs  were  impressive  as 
they  advanced  to  the  NAIA 
Championships.  This  accom- 
plishment was  the  first  for  a 
Union  University  basketball 
team.  The  team  was  led  by 
four  time  Ail-American  Char- 
lotte Hart  and  three-point  hot 
shot  Shea  Piercey.  The  Bulldog 
baseball  team  fell  one  game 


short  of  advancing  to  the 
NAIA  Area  5  Tournament. 
Cano  Valez  led  the  Bulldog 
team  in  pitching,  while  Bart 
Teague,  Tim  Watson,  and  Car- 
son Mclllwain  led  the  defense 
attack.  In  tennis,  Jessica  Na- 
varro was  the  top  seed  in  the 
District  24  Tournament,  but 
was  defeated  in  the  finals.  In 
the  summer  of  1987,  the  Sig- 
ma Alpha  Epsilon  intramural 
Softball  team  became  national 
champs.  The  team  won  the 
Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  World 
Series  in  New  Orleans,  allow- 
ing only  one  run. 

So  as  you  can  see.  Union 
has  a  whole  wide  variety  and 
selection  of  champions.  One 
only  has  to  look  to  see  athletic 
excellence.  Many  exciting 
things  have  happened  within 
Union  University's  sports  pro- 
grams. The  name  of  Union 
University  has  spread  far  and 
wide  because  of  its  athletic 
teams.  Union  is  very  proud  of 
its  athletic  competitors,  and 
their  accomplishments.  Union 
University  athletics  —  Oh 
What  a  Year!! 


Cano  Velez.  a  Pan  American  Games  All-Star,  is  an 
ace  pitcher  for  the  Bulldog  baseball  team.  He  attract- 
ed plenty  attention  from  pro  scouts  this  season. 


Lady  Bulldogs 


Ranked  in  the  top  five  alt 
season  long,  the  Lady  Bull- 
dogs lived  up  to  their  abili- 
ty. Led  by  four  time  Ail- 
American  Charlotte  Hart, 
the  Lady  Bulldogs  swept 
through  the  conference 
undefeated,  tied  the 
school  record  of  21  con- 
secutive wins,  and  was  the 
first  Union  team  to  ever 
reach  the  NAIA  Champi- 
onships in  Kansas  City. 
Many  milestones  were 
reached  and  many  individ- 
ual records  were  set  along 
the  way  to  an  outstanding 
season.  Charlotte  joined 
the  1000  point  club,  set 
the  record  for  most  steals 
in  a  career  and  most  steals 
in  a  game.  She  also  holds 
the  record  for  most  three 
point  field  goals  in  a  game 
with  6.  Catherine  Peek  tied 


an  existing  record  by 
shooting  perfectly  from  the 
field. 

The  road  to  success  is  a 
long  and  grueling  one.  It 
leads  through  many  trials, 
but  always  surfaces  in  the 
light.  This  year  the  Lady 
Bulldogs  road  ended  in 
Kansas  City,  the  site  for  the 
NAIA  Championships.  Re- 
ceiving the  at  large  bid  to 
the  tournament,  and 
backed  by  hundreds  of 
supporters,  the  Lady  Bull- 
dogs took  their  show  to 
the  big  dance.  In  the  quar- 
ter-finals the  team  ran  into 
only  the  third  obstacle 
they  could  not  overcome. 
Although  leading  most  of 
the  game,  the  Lady  Bull- 
dogs could  not  hold  off 
top-ranked  Wingate  Col- 
lege of  North  Carolina. 


With  the  lead,  Charlotte  Hart

The  Lady  Bulldogs  season 
was  full  of  many  highlights. 
Beginning  with  the  season 
opening  Red  and  White  game 
right  down  to  the  final  buzzer 
in  Kansas  City.  The  team  took 
many  trips  to  various  campus- 
es, and  the  fans  went  right 
along.  One  of  the  most  excit- 
ing trips  was  to  the  University 
of  Alabama.  Although  the 
Lady  Bulldogs  fell  six  points 
short  in  their  attempt  to  set  a 
school  record  of  22  consecu- 
tive wins,  the  trip  was  enjoyed 
by  everyone.  Here  on  these 
pages  are  just  a  few  snapshots 
of  that  game.  Lady  Bulldogs, 
thanks  for  the  memories.

J7nd  consecutive  vic- 
tory, the  Lidy  Bulldogs 
fell  a  little  short  against

Bulldogs 


This  season  was  the  first 
campaign  for  Coach  Bob 
Ward  to  direct  for  Union. 
Coach  Ward  comes  from 
Arkansas  State  University 
where  he  was  an  assistant 
coach.  Coach  Ward  is  a 
graduate  of  Murray  State. 
He  also  has  served  as  an 
assistant  coach  at  Pan 
American  University.  The 
University  of  Science  and 
Arts  of  Oklahoma,  and 
Murray  State.  Although 
this  position  is  Ward's  first 
head  coaching  Job  at  a 
four  year  college  he  was 
head  coach  at  Southwest 
Oklahoma  Community 
College.  Coach  Ward  is  re- 
building the  Bulldogs,  and 
Union  hopes  they  will  once 
again  be  contenders  under 
Ward's  leadership. 


The  Bulldogs  were  led 
by  returning  starters  Steve 
Howard,  David  Barham. 
and  Rick  Rudesill.  Stevie 
was  a  four  year  starter  for 
the  Bulldogs  and  was  a 
dominating  force  on  the 
boards.  David  was  one  of 
the  top  free  throw  shooters 
on  the  team.  Both  David 
and  Stevie  were  seniors. 
Rick  was  always  a  threat 
from  3-point  land.  During 
the  1987  season  he  was 
48%  accurate  from  there. 
Another  senior  that  was  a 
valuable  asset  to  the  Bull- 
dogs was  Jimmie  Hunt. 
Jimmie  ran  the  Bulldog  of- 
fense from  the  point  posi- 
tion. Like  Rick.  Jimmie  was 
always  a  threat  to  hit  a  3- 
pointer.

How  often  does  a  freshman  step 
in  and  start  at  a  four-year  college? 
If  you  are  Marshall  Brown  it  is  not 
too  hard.  After  an  outstanding  ca- 
reer at  Union  City  High  School  he 
joined  the  Bulldog  squad.  Marshall 
was  always  impressive,  and  great 
things  are  expected  from  him  in 
years  to  come.  There  are  many  oth- 
er Bulldogs  who  contributed  to 
winning  efforts.  Although  this  past 
season  was  not  one  of  many  fond 
memories,  hopefully  next  season 
will  be.  Bulldog  basketball  will 
once  again  emerge  on  top. 


Rick  Rudesill.  one  of  the 
top  three  point  shooters 
in  the  league,  shoots  will 
above  the  our-stretched 
arms  of  the  Bisons 
defenders. 

Jimmie  Hunt  drives  thru 
for  this  running  jumper 
while  James  Fields  gets 
rebound  position. 

The  Bulldog  Defense 
was  always  strong.  Here 
Marcus  Payne.  David 
Barham.  and  Marshall 
Brown  are  giving  this 
Dragon  a  hard  time.

Bulldogs 


It  seems  like  baseball 
has  always  been  called 
America's  favorite  past 
time.  Here  at  Union  we  feel 
as  though  we  have  a  mo- 
nopoly on  the  game.  The 
Bulldogs  are  always  con- 
tenders for  conference  and 
district  championships. 
This  year  the  team  lost  in 
the  District  24  finals.  The 
Bulldogs  used  a  combina- 
tion of  long  balls,  finese. 
and  tenacious  defense  to 
reach  that  far.  The  Bull- 
dogs had  sound  hitting 
from  the  likes  of  Pete  Wil- 
liams and  Carson  Mc  Ill- 
wain,  strong  defense  from 
Tim  Watson,  and  Bart 
Teague,  and  strong  pitch- 
ing from  a  host  of 
Bulldogs. 

The  season  was  the  last 
for  Coach  Bill  Green.  He 


has  been  at  the  helm  of  the 
Bulldog  baseball  team  for 
three  years.  Coach  Green 
was  originally  from  Paico, 
Kansas.  He  received  an  un- 
dergraduate degree  in 
health  and  physical  educa- 
tion, and  a  graduate  de- 
gree in  education  adminis- 
tration from  the  University 
of  North  Colorado.  His  first 
collegiate  coaching  job 
was  at  Trevecca  Nazarene 
College  in  Nashville.  In 
1985  he  came  to  Union.  In 
his  first  2  seasons  at 
Union,  his  teams  had  a 
combined  record  of  56-29.

The  baseball  team  had  a  very 
fruitful  season.  One  key  to  a  season 
such  as  this  is  pitching.  Union  has 
one  of  the  top  pitchers  to  be  found 
anywhere.  Cano  Velez  has  been 
highly  regarded  as  possibly  the 
best  pitcher  in  the  league,  and  per- 
haps the  NAIA.  Cano  made  the  All- 
Pan  Am  team  as  he  help  Puerto  Rico 
to  a  bronze  medal.  Also,  a  strong 
team  needs  a  person  like  Pete  Wil- 
liams. Pete  was  one  of  the  top  ho- 
merun  hitters  in  the  league,  and  he 
did  it  while  batting  in  the  leadoff 
position.  With  players  such  as 
Cano,  Pete,  Bart,  Tim,  and  others,  it 
is  no  wonder  the  Bulldogs  had  such 
a  terrific  season.

year.  Victory  after  victory, 
Jessica  Navarro  per-

derful group  of  team- 
mates. Jessica  was  the 
top  seed  from  the  west  in 
the  District  24  tourna- 
ment. She  compiled  a  25- 
I  record  losing  only  in 
the  District  finals.  She 
currently  is  ranked  31  in 
the  NAIA.  Union  Univer- 
sity is  proud  of  the  many 
accomplishments  of  the 
entire  team.  We  are  look- 
ing forward  to  another 
prosperous  year  from  the 
ladies  tennis  team.

Spring  is  full  of  many  out-

heats  up;  and  golf  gets  into 
full  swing,  but  don't  over- 
look tennis.  Warm,  sunny 
days  spent  on  the  tennis 
court  turn  into  perfection  on 
the  day  of  the  match.  Back- 
hands, forehands,  and  over- 
head lobs  become  works  of 
art  when  spring  rolls 
around.  All  the  team  mem- 
bers tighten  their  racket 
strings  anticipating  a  fruitful 
season.  This  years  team  was 
led  by  Robert  Johnson.  Rob- 
ert was  in  his  third  season 
from  South  Africa.  He  was 
supported  by  a  strong  group 
of  under  classmen.  Expecta- 
tions were  high  for  this

reached  them.

tice have  paid  off. 
Union's  team  has 
performed  marvel- 
ously.  They  placed

sion I  and  II  schools.

Cheerleaders 


In  any  sport  the 
cheerleaders  play  a 
very  important  role. 
They  are  active  in 
getting  the  fans  in- 
volved in  the  game. 
They  continuously 
root  the  players  on 
to  victory.  Here  at 
Union  we  have  an 
outstanding  group 
that  performs  their 
fob  superbly.  They 
travel  with  the  team, 
work  hard  during  the 
game,  but  usually  do 
not  receive  the  ap- 
preciation they  de- 
serve. Weeks  of

Intramurals 


Intramural  events  are  al- 
ways exciting  to  watch.  They 
span  the  entire  year,  from  the 
first  football  game  to  the  last 
Softball  game.  The  intramural 
courts  and  fields  have  become 
a  place  where  all  organiza- 
tions on  campus  compete  to 
see  who  is  the  best.  College 
life  at  Union  would  not  be  the 
same  without  the  spirit  intra- 
murals bring  to  the  school. 
Coach  Ward  has  been  the  di- 
rector this  year,  and  has  done 
an  excellent  job.  On  these

Introduction 


\ 


.  .  .  dedicated  Union  to 
achieve  a  high  standard  of  ex- 
cellence in  education.  Presi- 
dent Barefoot  has  adopted  as 
his  motto  for  Union  'A  Reaf- 
firmation! Commitment  to 
Faith  and  Learning. "  This  mot- 
to embodies  his  belief  that  the 
administration,  faculty,  and 
students  of  Union  University 
strive  for  academic  excellence 
based  on  Christian  principles. 

Along  with  the  commitment 
comes  a  commitment  to  the 
future  of  Union.  Union  is 
growing  in  every  aspect  of  the 
campus:  In  number  of  stu- 
dents, in  size  of  academic  fa- 
cilities, and  in  size  of  curricu- 
lum. The  groundbreaking  and 
construction  of  the  new 
school  of  business  is  a  prime 
example  of  the  commitment  to 
the  future  of  Union  University. 
No  longer  will  all  academic  fa- 
cilities be  housed  in  one  build- 
ing. Union  is  responding  to  the 
needs  of  the  world.  Expanding 


the  business  school  so  as  to 
give  more  detailed  attention 
to  the  student's  needs  in  pre- 
paring for  tomorrow's  fast- 
paced  business  world.  Union 
gives  its  students  the  best  fa- 
cilities, tools,  and  atmosphere 
to  make  the  most  of  their  stud- 
ies. 

In  its  one  hundred  and  six- 
ty-five years,  the  institution 
has  grown  from  a  private 
academy  to  a  college  endowed 
by  state  bonds  to  a  university 
under  denominational  spon- 
sorship. The  institution  has 
borne  four  different  names 
and  has  occupied  at  least 
three  different  campuses. 
Throughout  this  varied  history 
Union  University  has  been 
committed  to  educational  ex- 
cellence and  (since  1874) 
bearing  a  significant  Christian 
witness  to  students,  the  local 
community,  and  the  larger 
community  of  the  world. 


In  class  lecture  is  the  most  often  used  method  of 
teaching.  Union's  student  to  teacher  ratio  is  one  of 
the  lowest  in  the  area.  This  is  one  reason  why  faculty 
and  students  have  such  good  relations.

tution  of  the 
^-ptist  Convention 


Pastor.  Scholar.  Teacher.  Administrator. 
Hyran  Euvene  Barefoot  has  served  Union 
University  well  since  1957.  He  has  worked 
alongside  three  other  presidents  to  mold 
and  shape  Union  into  the  school  it  is  to- 
day. 

A  native  of  Mantee,  Mississippi,  Dr. 
Barefoot  was  called  into  the  ministry  dur- 
ing his  youth  and  has  spent  the  remainder 
of  his  life  preparing  for  that  calling  and 
serving  God  in  all  aspects  of  the  ministry. 

Pastoral  experience  in  Louisiana  and 
Mississippi  deepened  his  love  for  pro- 
claiming God's  Word  through  the  local 
church.  Gradually,  however,  he  began  to 
feel  God's  leadership  guiding  him  away 
from  the  full-time  pastorate  and  toward 
helping  prepare  other  young  ministers  for 
their  calling.  In  1957  Dr.  Barefoot  joined 
the  faculty  of  Union  University  as  an  Asso- 
ciate Professor  of  Religion  and  Greek. 

Since  that  time  countless  lives  have 
been  influenced  by  the  caring,  scholarly 
instruction  of  his  educational  ministry. 

Dr.  Barefoot  has  been  wisely  recognized 
and  honored  for  his  commitment  to  both 
rigorous  academic  standards  and  devoted 
religious  belief 

A  servant  of  God  at  Union  University 
since  1957,  Hyran  Euvene  Barefoot  is 
uniquely  suited  to  lead  Union  University 
into  the  decade  of  the  1990s. 


Jacque  Bobhil  serves  as  secretary  to  President  Barefoot. 
Her  duties  include  helping  President  Barefoot  coordi- 
nate his  schedule  and  assisting  him  when  necessary.

Profile:  Dr.  Pat  Pinson 


A  Dynamic  Lady  Heading  The  Fine  Art  Department 


Born  in  the  mountains  of  Vir- 
ginia, Dr.  Pat  Pinson  is  not  a 
typical  college  professor.  She  is 
the  Dean  of  Fine  Arts  and  is  con- 
stantly on  the  go. 

Her  professional  career  began 
at  Bluefield  Junior  College.  This 
is  a  very  special  place  to  her  be- 
cause it  is  where  she  met  her 
husband.  Dr.  Ernie  Pinson.  Dr. 
Pat  Pinson 's  hobbies  consist  of 
handicrafts,  arrowhead  and  rock 
collecting,  reading,  pets,  and 
photography. 

Improving  students  academi- 
cally is  one  of  the  things  she 
likes  best  to  do.  While  at  Union, 
she  helped  start  the  Honors  pro- 
gram in  1975.  Because  of  her 
sensitivity  toward  students' 
learning,  she  has  set  many  goals 
for  her  department.  For  example, 
she  wants  to  give  the  school  of 
fine  arts  an  identity  and  for  all 


three  departments  (music,  art. 
and  theater  arts)  to  join  together 
and  act  as  one  while  also  getting 
Union  to  perform  Public  Rela- 
tions for  the  Fine  Arts.  Unity  can 
be  achieved,  she  feels,  through 
the  coordination  of  activities  of 
each  event  so  everyone  will  work 
together.  She  also  would  like  to 
have  an  artist  of  residence.  She 
feels  that  the  students  could 
learn  from  an  artist  through  his 
professional  knowledge  along 
with  their  teachers.  Finally,  she 
would  like  to  see  the  curriculum 
modified  so  that  there  would  be 
a  better  business  relationship  in 
the  outside  world. 

To  say  that  this  dynamic  lady 
is  busy  is  an  understatement. 
The  School  of  Fine  Arts  could 
not  be  in  any  better  hands,  as  Dr. 
Pinson  continues  to  do  a  great 
Job. 


Although  busy.  Dr.  Pat  Pinson  always 
has  time  la  help  a  student  grow  aca- 
demically.

\ 


Making  Students  Think  And  Better  Themselves  Is  Important. 


Helping  students  reach  their  goals,  is  the 
most  important  part  of  Dr.  Bagget's  job. 


Dr.  Baggett  may  be  the  Asso- 
ciate Vice-President  of  Academ- 
ic Affairs,  but  that  is  only  one  of 
several  positions  he  holds  at 
Union  University.  He  is  also  the 
Dean  of  Humanities.  The  human- 
ities cover  the  English,  History, 
Political  Science,  Language,  Reli- 
gion, and  Philosophy  depart- 
ments. Dr.  Baggett  became  inter- 
ested in  history  while  attending 
high  school. 

Born  in  Columbus,  Georgia, 
Dr.  Baggett  went  on  to  attend 
school  in  Texas,  received  his 
Bachelor  Degree  at  Wesleyn  Col- 
lege, and  his  graduate  degree 
from  North  Texas  State.  He  be- 
gan his  teaching  career  while  in 
Texas  by  teaching  junior  high 
and  high  school  in  the  Fort 
Worth  area.  He  believes  this  ex- 
perience helps  him  deal  with  stu- 
dents in  college  today. 

As  for  relaxation.  Dr.  Baggett 
considers  traveling  one  of  his  fa- 


vorite hobbies.   He  also  enjoys 
reading  and  writing  history. 

One  major  goal  Dr.  Baggett 
hopes  to  accomplish  in  the  Hu- 
manities department  is  to  require 
more  writings  from  students.  He 
realizes  that  the  major  obstacle 
of  this  goal  is  keeping  down  op- 
portunity costs  while  having  stu- 
dents write.  He  believes  that 
writing  is  a  form  of  thinking  as 
well  as  a  form  of  conversation, 
and  that  asking  students  to  write 
makes  them  think  more  critical- 
ly. This  writing,  he  states,  will 
also  help  them  to  express  what 
they  actually  mean  rather  than 
what  they  might  say. 

Making  students  think  and 
better  themselves  is  important  to 
Dr.  Baggett.  He  says  if  a  student 
will  set  individual  goals  and  fo- 
cus on  them,  these  goals  will 
compel  that  student  toward  bet- 
ter heights  and  his  job  will  be 
accomplished.

Newell  is  from  Illinois,  where  he 
received  his  Bachelor  and  Master 
of  Science  degree  from  Southern  Il- 
linois University.  He  later  received 
his  PhD  from  Indiana  University. 
Dr.  Newell  has  taught  at  Union 
University  and  Murray  State  and 
became  interested  in  the  business 
field  through  the  subject  of  Ac- 
counting. Interestingly  enough, 
during  high  school.  Dr.  Newell  was 
not  an  "A"  student  and  almost  did 
not  graduate  because  he  says  he 
had  no  ambition  and  did  nothing 
academically.  He  now  considers 
himself  a  task-oriented  person  and 
easily  gets  consumed  in  his  work. 

As  Dean  of  Professional  Studies, 
Dr.  Newell  is  head  of  such  depart- 
ments as  education  and  business. 
According  to  Dr.  Newell,  the  busi- 
ness department  has  declared  four 
specific  goals  for  the  school.  First, 


they  would  like  to  have  the  doors 
of  the  new  business  school  open  to 
the  students  by  the  fall  of  1988. 
Second,  plans  for  reconstruction  of 
the  business  curriculum  are  to  be 
completed.  Thirdly,  they  would  like 
to  offer  business  services  to  the 
community  of  West  Tennessee.  Fi- 
nally, a  "Leadership  Council"  is 
being  planned,  which  would  advise 
the  direction  of  Union's  business 
department. 

Dr.  Newell  also  states  that  the 
department  has  specific  goals  for 
the  students.  He  says  the  goal  for 
students  is  not  only  to  have  a  chal- 
lenging, well-compensated  career 
but  also  the  ability  to  lead  their 
careers  in  a  way  compatible  with 
the  Christian  values.  The  major 
goal  of  the  business  department  is 
to  educate  people  to  be  servants 
and  to  serve  people  as  believers  in 
Christ. 


Helping  students  prepare  their  resume 
is  one  of  the  special  parts  of  Dr.  How- 
ard NeweH's  job.

Preparing  Students  For  A  Successful  Future 


The  Dean  of  Natural  and  Behavioral 
Science  is  a  person  who  is  caring  and 
willing  to  listen  while  also  having  a 
deep  interest  for  the  students.  The  man 
who  fits  this  description  is  obviously  Dr. 
Bill  Bouchillon. 

Dr.  Bouchillon's  first  career  step  be- 
gan when  he  felt  God  calling  him  into 
the  ministry.  Fifteen  years  of  his  minis- 
try were  spent  as  a  Baptist  minister  and 
mission  worker  in  the  states  of  Califor- 
nia and  Nevada.  He  feels  his  call  has 
been  a  "developmental  call."  He  com- 
ments that  after  being  called  into  the 
ministry,  he  felt  he  needed  psychology 
for  the  expertise  in  the  area  of  counsel- 
ing. Upon  entering  the  field  of  psychol- 
ogy, Dr.  Bouchillon  received  his  doctor- 
al degree  from  the  University  of 
Tennessee  at  Knoxville. 

As  a  dean.  Dr.  Bouchillon  has  many 
duties  to  fulfill.  He  says  that,  "As  a 
dean,  I  encourage  faculty  to  continue 
improving  themselves  personally  and 
professionally. "  Also  he  works  with  the 
Vice-President  of  Academic  Affairs  in 
setting  policies  for  the  department. 

In  dealing  with  the  goals  of  the  de- 
partment, he  says  he  feels  good  about 
where  the  department  is  right  now  and 
what  the  future  holds.  A  major  concern 
of  his  is  for  the  department  to  develop  a 
psychology  laboratory.  Also  Dr.  Bou- 
chillon would  like  to  continue  to  see  the 
department  prepare  students  to  com- 
pete successfully  in  graduate  school.

Doing  Her  Best  And  Then  Some 


As  you  walk  into  the  office  of 
the  Dean  of  Nursing,  you  will 
probably  hear  music.  This  is  not 
to  mean  that  you  have  died  and 
gone  to  heaven,  but  that  Dr.  Re- 
gina Saffel  is  in  her  office  trying 
to  do  some  paper  work  or  some 
of  the  million  other  things  she 
has  to  do  to  keep  her  department 
going. 

Even  though  her  duties  at 
Union  keep  her  busy,  she  does 
find  a  few  moments  for  relax- 
ation. She  enjoys  classical  music, 
needlework,  and  visiting  her 
grandchildren  in  Memphis.  She 
is  very  active  in  the  Forest 
Heights  Methodist  Church  in 
Jackson,  where  she  is  a  member 
of  the  choir. 

Most  of  her  time,  however,  has 
been  spent  with  helping  her  de- 
partment's self-study.  This  is  be- 
ing done  for  reaccreditting  the 
Nursing  department  and  finished 
in  January  or  February  of  1988. 


Dr.  Saffel  was  born  in  West 
Virginia  and  went  to  school  in  a 
two-room  schoolhouse.  She  de- 
cided nursing  was  her  calling 
when  she  saw  her  cousins  leave 
home  to  serve  as  nurses  in  World 
War  II.  The  capes  they  were 
wearing  appealed  to  her  and  in- 
fluenced her  choice  in  career. 

Dr.  Saffel's  goal  for  the  nurs- 
ing department  is  to  focus  on  re- 
cruiting potential  students  be- 
cause of  the  nursing  shortage 
nationally.  She  says  that  right 
now  recruiting  is  down  and  she 
hopes  to  improve  this  in  the 
future. 

When  asked  what  quote  she 
would  leave  with  students,  she 
stated  a  very  simple  but  true 
statement,  "Do  your  best."  That 
is  all  anyone  can  ask  of  you  and 
that  is  what  Dr.  Saffel  tries  to 
accomplish  here  at  Union. 


Guiding  her  students  at  Union,  Dr.  Regina 
Saffel  helps  mold  the  nurses  of  tomorrow,  in- 
stilling in  them  her  motto,  "Do  your  best."

Seniors     .    .    .     what  Does  The  Future  Hold? 


Oazing  into  the  future,  this  senior  wonders  wh3t  exactly  the 
future  does  hold.  Alot  of  anxiety  accompanies  the  graduating 
day  with  unanswered  questions  looming  ahead. 


On  May  28.  1988,  the 
graduating  seniors  of  Union 
University  traveled  through 
that  "Right  of  Passage"  — 
from  college  life  to  the  real 
world,  and  with  this  passage 
came  a  wide  range  of  feel- 
ings. Julie  Claus,  a  senior 
communications  major  from 
Paducah,  KY,  saw  the  un- 
certainty that  these  final 
days  bring  and  the  real 
world  as  an  adventure  and 
challenge.  "The  question 
keeps  coming  to  mind:  Do  I 
know  enough  or  can  I  apply 
what  I  do  know?  On  the 
other  hand,  there  is  a  cer- 
tain thrill  about  the 
unknown. " 

Some  seniors,  however, 
faced  the  challenge  of  grad- 
uate school,  like  Jim  McAr- 
thur  who  plans  to  attend 
medical  school.  "My  career 
goal  is  to  be  a  physician,  the 
Bachelor's  Degree  is  mean- 
ingful and  long  sought  af- 
ter, but  I  know  it  is  only  one 
step  in  the  plan  for  my  life, " 


says  Jim. 

As  a  senior  looks  past 
graduation  and  into  the 
days  to  follow,  a  cloud  of 
opportunities,  excitement, 
and  uncertainties  fill  his 
mind  because  no  one  knows 
exactly  what  the  future 
holds.  Over  the  past  four  to 
five  years,  seniors  have 
worked  hard  to  develop  the 
skills  necessary  to  become 
successful  in  the  field  each 
has  chosen.  Even  though 
one  feels  prepared  to  face 
the  challenges  of  tomorrow, 
a  sense  of  fear  is  still  ever 
present. 

Graduation  marks  the  be- 
ginning of  a  new  chapter  in 
their  lives.  A  chapter  that 
will  be  full  of  accomplish- 
ments, disappointments, 
tragedies,  and  celebrations. 
All  seniors  look  forward  to 
that  fateful  day,  but  at  the 
same  time,  each  will  always 
remember  his  days  as  an  un- 
dergraduate here  at  Union. 


Jane  Nichols  helps  seniors  with 
those  seniors  evaluation.  As  the 
big  day  approaches,  her  advice  be- 
comes more  important.

^      The  Late  Night  Snack 


0^ 


Students  Want  More 
Than  Just  A  Candy  Bar 


This  student  is  just  one  of  the  many  Union  students 
that  gel  the  hungries  late  at  night.  Her  solution,  hke 
many,  was  a  trip  lo  Subway. 


We  all  know  the  feeling 
.  .  .  it's  late  at  night,  that 
low  grumble  begins  in  your 
stomach,  that  unyielding 
need  for  something  to  eat, 
something  good,  something 
fast  .  .  .  you  begin  the 
search  for  that  late  night 
snack!  Fortunately,  there 
are  a  number  of  places  to 
turn.  If  pizza  is  your  craving. 
Domino's  is  a  phone  call 
away  (and  30  minutes). 
Union's  commons  are  visit- 
ed several  times  a  night  by 
the  Domino 's  pizza  man  de- 
livering those  mouth-water- 
ing, extra  cheese-covered 
pizzas.  But  why  is  Domino 's 
a  favorite?  Freshman  Kurt 
Steele  probably  put  it  best. 
"You're  hungry,  and  you 
have  to  study.  You  don't 
have  time  to  go  out.  so  you 
just  order  a  pizza  and  study 
while  you  wait. "  This  con- 
venience factor  is  one  of  the 
more  important  factors  in 
choosing  that  late  night 
snack. 

But  if  you  want  something 
a  little  different.  Subway  is 
just  down  the  by -pass.  Sub- 
way offers  a  wide  range  of 
sandwiches,  from  seafood 
crab  to  the  Subway  Club 
which  has  ham.  turkey,  and 
roast  beef  Subway  gives  a 


different  twist  to  the  subma- 
rine sandwich,  and  a  fun 
way  to  take  care  of  the  late 
night  hungry. 

But  if  a  simple  hamburger 
is  what  you  crave,  then 
Krystal's  is  your  answer. 
Many  Union  students  travel 
to  Krystal's  to  purchase  one 
of  those  small  wonders  on  a 
regular  basis.  The  drive-thru 
is  open  24  hours  a  day  —  so 
anytime  you  gotta  have  a 
Krystal.  you  can. 

Another  favorite  place  of 
Union  students  is  Mr.  Do- 
nut.  Not  only  can  you  get 
your  late  night  snack  there, 
you  can  stay  all  night  and 
study  as  so  many  students 
do  on  exam  night.  Mr.  Do- 
nut  offers  a  wide  variety  of 
light,  fluffy  donuts  and  deli- 
cious hot  chocolate.  It  is  lo- 
cated next  to  Village  Inn 
Pizza  across  from  Gibson's. 

Along  with  these  three  fa- 
vorite snack  choices,  there 
are  a  number  of  avenues  for 
Union  students  to  look  for 
that  perfect  snack.  But  all 
Union  students  seem  to 
agree  that  convenience  is 
one  of  the  big  factors  in 
choosing  a  late  night  snack. 
(But  nothing  is  as  important 
as  taste).

Broadening  Student's  Horizons 


Art  Gallery  Offers  High  Quality  Environment  For  Artists 


Union  University's  Art  Gallery, 
although  in  its  infant  stage,  is  a 
high  quality  environment  where 
students  can  use  their  intellectu- 
al abilities  to  escape  to  worlds 
far  beyond  our  normal  human 
boundaries. 

Even  though  the  gallery  is  only 
three  years  old.  and  is  very  ac- 
cessible to  Union  students,  there 
is  a  lot  that  is  not  known  about 
the  gallery.  For  instance,  how 
does  one  get  their  work  dis- 
played? The  Board  of  Advisors 
decides  on  what  exhibits  best  fit 
Union's  taste  and  criteria,  and 
then  invites  an  artist  to  exhibit 
his  or  her  work.  The  Gallery 
Board  is  made  up  of  Mr.  Parish 
and  five  other  faculty  members 
who  are  actively  involved  in  the 
arts. 

Director  Reid  Parish  hopes  the 
gallery  will  broaden  students' 
horizons  and  their  awareness  of 
what  art  is  and  can  be,  as  well  as 
exposing  them  to  some  of  the 
more  secular  aspects  of  art.  He 
hopes  that  all  students  will  take 
the  time  to  drop  by  and  view  the 
exhibits  and  feels  that  each  will 
agree  that  it  is  time  well  spent. 

When  referring  to  the  art  stu- 
dents, Mr.  Parish  sees  the  gallery 
as  a  teaching  tool,  exposing  the 
college  community  to  various 
artworks  and  artists,  and  allow- 
ing the  city  to  see  their  works. 


Mr.  Parish  also  relayed  his  own 
personal  goal  for  the  art  gallery, 
"If  I  can  get  one  or  two  students 
to  come  in  and  look  through  any 
show  that  is  here  and  just  accept 
it  for  what  it  is  and  not  make  a 
snap  judgment  saying   'Ooh, 


that's  weird!'  I'll  be  happy."

The  Union  University  Art  Gallery  offers  stu- 
dents a  chance  to  experience  art  at  its  finest. 
The  gallery  exhibits  such  things  as  paintings 
and  sculptures  throughout  the  year. 

These  students  use  the  art  gallery  as  a  learn- 
ing experience,  as  they  visit  this  exhibit  for  an 
experience  report  for  art  class.

The  Soap  Opera  Craze  Hits  Union  .  .  .  Hard! 


Exactly  what  is  the  Guiding  Light 
that  makes  Our  World  Turn?  Do 
we  all  have  just  One  Life  to  Live? 
Who  really  cares  about  All  Your 
Children?  Are  you  living  in  Anoth- 
er World  maybe  near  General  Hos- 
pital or  in  Santa  Barbara?  Yes,  we 
are  all  Young  and  Restless.  Are 
these  really  the  Days  of  Our  Lives? 

Soaps  .  .  .  are  a  social  statement 
of  the  80's  especially  at  Union  Uni- 
versity. At  12:30  pm  everyday  a 
group  of  dedicated  Days  fans  can 
be  found  huddled  around  the  TV  in 
the  Women 's  Commons  in  total  si- 
lence and  all  eyes  afixed  on  the 
screen. 

What  is  this  phenomena?  Why 
all  the  attention?  A  dedicated 
freshman  says,  "Days  of  Our  Lives 
is  a  part  of  my  every  day.  It  gives 
me  a   chance   to  lose  myself  in 


something  other  than  books.  It's  an 
excitement  —  an  adventure  in  the 
day.  It  lets  me  live  a  life  unknown 
to  my  lifestyle. " 

Unrealistic  is  what  many  people 
think  soap  operas  are.  They  believe 
that  these  shows  paint  a  fake  pic- 
ture of  life  by  showing  it  as  glamor- 
ous, perfect,  and  even  corrupt.  For 
some  unknown  reason  the  bad 
group  never  gets  caught.  Is  that 
very  realistic?  We  also  cannot  for- 
get to  mention  all  the  suicides, 
murders,  comas,  and  affairs  that  go 
on  behind  the  scenes. 

Dr.  Marlena  Evans  Brady  on 
Days,  for  instance,  has  been  shot 
five  times,  comatose  three  times, 
married  twice,  kidnapped  four 
times,  and  thrown  off  a  cliff.  How 
much  can  one  woman  take?  And 
what's  worse  is  the  fact  that  she  is 


a  good  guy.  Also,  why  are  all  of  the 
characters  either  rich  by  birth,  doc- 
tors, lawyers,  or  police? 

The  plots  themselves  are  kind  of 
obvious.  If  you  have  watched  a 
soap  for  a  year  or  two,  you  can 
almost  predict  what  is  going  to 
happen.  Where  is  the  excitement 
then  ?  Why  do  students  switch  their 
whole  schedule  around  a  certain 
TV  time  slot?  Maybe  it  is  just  the 
fantasy  that  compels  them  to  watch 
it.  Maybe  it  is  the  hope  that  some 
day  they  will  find  that  perfect  love 
and  ride  off  into  the  sunset  togeth- 
er. 

Whatever  the  reason  for  this  ob- 
session, it  is  obvious  the  soaps  are 
here  for  good,  giving  their  daily 
dose  of  trauma,  tragedy,  excite- 
ment, romance,  and  power. 


Leigh  Anne  Arnold  takes  times  during  the  day  to 
catch  her  favorite  soap  in  the  women's  commons. 
■  The  commons  were  a  favorite  place  for  students  to 
catch  the  soap  operas. 

Commuters,  faculty,  and  staff  caught  their  favorite 
soap  operas  in  the  student  lounge.

The  Suitcase  Syndrome 


Mysterious  Disease  Sweeps  Campus 


There  is  a  strange  and  unusual 
disease  on  the  campus  of  Union 
University.  High  fever,  an  upset 
stomach,  and  a  headache  are  not 
any  of  the  symptoms  either.  This 
disease,  though  virtually  non-exis- 
tent during  the  week,  hits  the  cam- 
pus almost  every  Friday  afternoon 
like  a  plague  and  continues  till  late 
Sunday  night.  There  are  many  tech- 
nical terms  for  this  disease  but  at 
Union  it  is  simply  known  as  "The 
Suitcase  Syndrome"!  Why  do  most 
Union  Students  go  home  almost  ev- 
ery weekend? 

There  are  many  reasons  for  stu- 
dents to  go  home.  For  instance,  it 
gives  students  the  opportunity  to 
see  their  friends,  do  their  laundry, 
eat  good  food,  and  see  their  fam- 
ilies (you  know,  to  get  money),  and 
most  students  live  within  a  two 
hour  drive  from  Union  which 
makes  it  easier  to  do.  Leaving  cam- 
pus is  also  an  escape.  The  weekend 
provides  an  opportunity  for  stu- 


dents to  get  off  campus  for  more 
than  just  a  few  hours,  and  since 
Memphis  and  Nashville  are  so 
close  to  Jackson,  many  students 
travel  to  these  two  cities  to  spend 
their  weekend.  Both  offer  a  lot  of 
things  to  do  and  both  can  make 
you  forget  about  school. 

Some  students,  however,  don't 
have  the  luxury  of  going  home  ev- 
ery weekend.  These  students  must 
therefore  stay  at  school  and  enter- 
tain themselves  while  everyone 
else  is  gone. 

So,  if  you  are  forced  to  say  on 
campus  for  a  weekend,  there  are  a 
few  things  to  do  in  Jackson.  Never- 
theless, the  weekly  migrating  of 
Union 's  campus  and  out  of  Jackson 
continues  to  occur.  Unfortunately, 
the  end  is  no  where  in  sight,  and  a 
cure  is  being  sought  by  all.  But  un- 
til then  we  will  all  have  to  be  pa- 
tient and  hope  for  a  vaccine  (some- 
thing to  do)  to  the  dreaded  disease 
known  as  The  Suitcase  Syndrome.

Moving  furniture  in  and  out  of  the  dorms  is  an 
extreme  case  of  the  Suitcase  Syndrome  and  takes 
a  special  kind  of  help,  usually  from  a  friend. 


Going  home  on  weekends  means  checking  in  and 
out  of  the  dorms,  failure  to  do  so  means  receiv- 
ing those  dreaded  warnings.

Students,  Dorms,  And  Rules  .  . 

The  Three  Don't  Always  Mix 


Jessica  Navarro  visits  Robert  Johnson's  room  during 
open  dorms.  Open  dorms  give  students  a  chance  to 
see  how  the  "other  half"  lives. 

Playing  cards  is  a  favorite  pasttime  for  Union  stu- 
dents while  relaxing  in  the  commons  area. 


Union  dorm  life  has  always 
been  an  experience.  This  life  dif- 
fers greatly  from  most  colleges 
and  universities  in  several  ways 
ranging  from  open  dorms,  to  our 
commons  area,  and  even  to  per- 
sonalizing the  students'  own  pri- 
vate room. 

Our  commons  area  has  always 
been  a  place  to  meet  friends, 
read  the  paper,  watch  television, 
and  mingle.  Unfortunately,  there 
seems  to  be  a  difference  in  rule 
interpretation  between  the  men 's 
and  women's  commons.  For  ex- 
ample, in  past  years,  the  wom- 
en's commons  has  been  a  favor- 
ite place  for  students  to  talk  and 
spend  time  with  their  boyfriend 
or  girlfriend.  Now,  however, 
someone  has  changed  the  rules 
in  the  women's  commons  and 
they  did  not  bother  to  inform  the 
students.  No  longer  are  we  al- 
lowed to  visit  in  this  commons, 
or  so  the  men  were  told  in  the 
required  dorm  meeting  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  Fall  semester,  and 


heaven  forbid  if  you  hug  or  even 
touch  a  member  of  the  opposite 
sex  —  that  will  get  you  five 
warnings  fast!!  As  a  result  the 
men's  commons  has  become  in- 
creasingly more  favorable  to  stu- 
dents where  if  you  hug  someone 
of  the  opposite  sex,  you  get  con- 
gratulated! 

Then  there  is  always  the  other 
subject  that  is  taboo  —  OPEN 
DOR/\1S!  Every  time  the  rebel- 
lious students  speak  of  this,  they 
are  instatnly  hushed.  Open 
dorms  gives  students  a  chance  to 
see  how  the  other  half  lives  and 
gain  a  different  perspective  of 
one  another. 

Who  knows  what  may  happen 
to  us  in  the  future.  Maybe  we  will 
catch  up  with  the  times  but  we 
will  probably  continue  to  live  in 
the  past.  No  matter  what  hap- 
pens, there  is  one  thing  everyone 
can  count  on.  We  will  continue 
to  live  in  these  spike-topped 
gates  for  many  years  to  come.

Finding  time  to  study  is  sometimes  easier  said 
than  done.  Individuat  bedrooms  help  malie  this 
job  a  little  easier 


Union's  high  academic  standards  mean  taking 
hard  tests.  These  underclassmen  have  learned 
quickly  the  importance  of  studying.

A  Year  Of  Accomplishment 


"Oh  What  a  Year!'  This 
school  year  has  been  incredible. 
Never  has  Union  seen  so  much 
change,  so  much  activity,  so 
much  accomplishment.  As  the 
year  comes  to  a  close,  we  look 
back  with  a  sense  of  pride.  The 
year  1988  was  full  of  achieve- 
ment, both  big  and  small. 
Throughout  the  yearbook  we 
captured  the  big  accomplish- 
ments that  everyone  knows 
about.  For  example,  ground- 
breaking, inauguration  of  Presi- 
dent Barefoot,  and  the  Lady  Bull- 
dogs advancing  to  Kansas  City. 
These  accomplishments  will  al- 
ways be  in  our  memories.  But 
what  about  the  smaller,  individ- 
ual accomplishments.  Like  Cath- 
erine Carroll  being  named  Ten- 
nessee   Student    Nurse    of  the 


Year,  or  Mark  Ring  being  accept- 
ed at  Yale.  These  individual  ac- 
complishments prove  that  hard 
work  and  dedication  will  bring 
success. 

There  are.  however,  even 
smaller  accomplishments,  that 
we  sometimes  overlook  and  for- 
get. Maybe  it's  getting  that  date 
with  Mr.  or  Miss  Right,  or  getting 
an  A  on  that  all-important  test, 
or  maybe,  it's  making  a  deadline 
on  the  yearbook  or  newspaper. 
These  accomplishments  happen 
everyday.  We  shouldn't  take 
them  for  granted,  but  enjoy  them 
while  they  last. 

So  when  you  look  back  on 
1988.  don't  forget  those  smaller 
accomplishments,  because  in 
their  own  way,  they  are  just  as 
important  as  the  big  ones.

A  large  crowd  filled  with  parents,  rela- 
tives, and  friends  attended  the  graduation 
exercises. 


Caps  flew  into  the  air  as  the 
exercises  came  to  a  close.  Many 
had  waited  for  this  exact  mo- 
ment to  rejoice  in  their 
accomplishment. 


Graduation 


The  Big  Day  Finally  Comes 


On  May  28,  1988,  at 
6:00pm,  it  finally  ar- 
rived —  GRADUA- 
TION. The  event  the 
seniors  had  worked  for 
over  the  past  four  years 
finally  happened.  Some 
three  hundred  gradu- 
ates walked  across  the 
stage,  received  their  di- 
ploma, and  moved 
their  tassles,  signifying 
the  right  of  passage  for 
those  fortunate  few 
that  have  accom- 
plished what  all  college 
students  dream  about 
and  strive  for. 

During  the  weekend, 
the  seniors  participated 
in  a  rehearsal  and  lun- 
cheon  on   Friday.    On 


Saturday  the  Baccalau- 
reate Service  took 
place.  This  year's 
speaker  was  Dr.  Ken- 
neth P.  Story.  But  it  was 
the  graduation  exer- 
cises that  everyone 
came  to  see. 

At  six  o'clock,  the 
exercise  began.  The 
traditional  procession- 
al began  with  Senior 
class  president  Jane 
Ann  Sage  leading  the 
way  with  the  school 
banner,  followed  by  the 
faculty,  and  finally  the 
graduates.  This  year 
Dr.  G.  Wayne  Brown  of 
Belmont  College  gave 
the  graduation  ad- 
dress.  He  encouraged 


the  graduates  to  make 
a  difference  in  the 
world  and  to  believe 
they  could  change  it. 

After  the  address, 
the  conferring  of  de- 
grees took  place.  The 
class  was  presented  to 
President  Barefoot  and 
then  the  diplomas  were 
presented  to  each 
graduate. 

Immediately  follow- 
ing the  conferring  of 
degrees,  class  presi- 
dent, Jane  Ann  Sage, 
presented  the  class  gift 
to  the  university.  The 
class  left  money  for  dis- 
play cases  to  be  placed 
in  the  entry  hall  of  the 
new  business  building. 


President  Barefoot 
then  awarded  the  two 
top  awards  given  to 
Seniors.  The  Highest 
Academic  Achieve- 
ment award  went  to 
Melodi  Myers  who  had 
a  perfect  4.0  GPA.  The 
Tigrett  Medal  for  the 
outstanding  graduate 
went  to  Jane  Ann  Sage. 

As  we  said  goodbye 
to  these  people  who 
had  come  to  mean  so 
much  to  us  over  the 
past  few  years,  there 
was  some  sadness,  but 
we  knew  that  they  were 
ready  for  the  world  and 
would  be  prime  exam- 
ples of  Union's  quality 
graduates.

So  the  yearbook  is  finally  fin- 
ished! There  were  times  I  didn't 
think  it  ever  would  be  or  that  I  was 
going  to  make  it  through  the  year. 
But  now  that  it  is  finished,  I'm  glad 
I  did  it.  All  those  long  hours  of 
drawing  layouts,  writing  copy, 
waiting  on  pictures  have  paid  off 
There  is  so  much  work  that  goes 
into  a  yearbook,  and  no  one  person 
can  do  it  all.  And  so  now  that  it  is 
finished,  it  is  time  for  me  to  give  my 
thanks  that  are  so  much  deserved. 
First.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  par- 
ents for  all  their  support,  love,  and 
prayers. 

—  Bob  Shuttleworth,  for  having 
faith  in  me  to  make  the  right  deci- 
sions and  to  put  together  a  quality 
yearbook,  and  for  all  those  long 
hours  in  the  darkroom. 

—  Johnny  Cole,  our  Josten  's  Sale 


Representative,  for  all  of  his  advice 
and  help.  Johnny  always  had  an 
answer  for  every  question  I  had. 

—  Teresa  Greer,  for  being  the  Out- 
standing Staff  Member  of  the  Year- 
book. Teresa  was  Campus  Life  sec- 
tion editor.  She  did  a  great  job 
seeing  it  from  the  very  beginning  to 
the  very  end. 

—  Kelly  Troutt,  for  going  beyond 
the  call  of  duty.  More  than  once 
Kelly  was  asked  to  help  on  a  sec- 
tion that  wasn't  even  hers. 

—  Beth  Dennis,  for  taking  the 
hardest  section  of  the  yearbook  — 
Organizations.  She  orchestrated 
the  numerous  groups  with  pictures, 
retakes,  and  copy. 

—  Terrie  Powers,  for  all  those  last 
minute  typing  assignments  and 
complaining  only  occasionally 
when  she  could  have  many  times 
more. 


—  Dana  Cox,  for  all  those  psychia 
try  sessions  over  lunch  and  all  her 
hard  work  on  last  year's  yearbook. 

And  last  but  certainly  not  least, 
to  God,  for  giving  me  the  strength, 
patience,  and  determination  to  see 
this  job  through. 

I  would  also  like  to  thank  all  the 
rest  of  the  staff  who  worked  so 
hard  to  make  the  yearbook 
possible. 

I  would  also  like  to  wish  Susan 
Watt  and  Laurin  Smith,  next  year's 
editor  and  assistant  editor,  the  best 
of  luck  and  know  that  they  will  do 
a  great  job. 

In  closing,  the  yearbook  staff 
hopes  you  enjoy  this  edition  of  the 
Lest  We  Forget.  We  hope  you  find 
that  it  captured  the  major  events, 
and  the  memories  of  the  1988 
school  year.
