Beyond 


art  of  what  makes  the 
Lycoming  experience 
unique  is  the  College's 
mission  as  a  residential 
liberal  arts  college  where  the 
majority  of  students  live  on 
campus  and  are  encouraged  to 
participate  in  activities  and  in  the 
development  of  a  campus  community. 
One  reason,  suggests  Dr.  M.  Ben 
Hogan,  Dean  of  Student  Affairs,  is 
because  students  find  it  is  no  longer  enough  to 
graduate  with  a  diploma  in  hand.  In  a  sea  of 
degrees,  a  potential  employer  is  looking  for  other 
qualities — accomplishments  that  suggest  potential 
leadership  skills  and  a  sense  of  responsibility  for  the 
welfare  of  others. 

Certainly  there  are  more  options  for  students 
than  ever  before  at  Lycoming.  Lycoming 
students  can  participate  in  any  of  50  different 
organizations,  including  five  social  fraternities 
and  four  social  sororities,  that  together  offer 
over  200  leadership  opportunities. 
One  in  five  students  participates  in  Lycoming's 
varsity  sports  program  and  another  20%  participate 
in  the  College's  active  intramural  recreational  sports 
program. 

Some  of  these  organizations,  such  as  the  Choir 
and  United  Campus  Ministries,  date  back  two 
generations.  Others,  such  as  the  Creative  Arts 
Society  and  the  Wilderness  Club,  are  new  additions.,

LYCOMING  COLLEGE  MAGAZINE  •  WINTER/SPRING  96 


"The  encouraging  aspect 
in  the  development  of  these 
new  organizations  is  that  they 
are  being  initiated  by  students 
to  meet  specific  interests  and 
needs,"  says  Dean  Hogan. 
These  interests  are  supported 
by  numerous  staff  and 
faculty  advisors  and  funded 
through  a  student  activities 
fee  of  $30  per  semester. 

The  two-year-old  Creative 
Arts  Society  is  a  good  case  in 
point.  Peter  Coughlin  '96.  an 


Dean  M.  Ben  Hogan 
came  to  Lycoming 
College  in  the  fall  of 
1992  with  17  years 
of  administrative 
experience  in  higher 
education  at  four 
different  colleges 
and  universities  in  New 
England  and  New  York.  A 
graduate  of  St.  Francis 
College  (Maine),  he 
received  a  master's  degree 
from  the  University  of 
Southern  Maine  and  a 
doctorate  from  Vanderbilt 
University. 

Hogan  has  taken  a 
renewed  and  active  view 
of  student  life.  In  sum- 
ming his  philosophy  he 
says:  "The  institution  is 
not  a  parent,  however, 
students  need  to  learn  that 
they  are  expected  to  meet 
the  standards  and  expect- 
ations of  their  community." 


art  history  and 
history  major  who 
is  president  of  the 
society  this  year, 
felt  that  Lycoming 
lacked  something 
for  him. 

"There  was 
no  interesting 
environment  for 
me,"  he  says. 
Now,  the  Creative 
Art  Society  is  one 
of  the  most  active 
organizations  on 
campus,  putting 
on  four  or  five 
events  each 

semester.  In  the  past  year,  the 
members  have  had  student 
poetry  readings,  fiction 
readings,  an  acoustical  show 
featuring  original  student 
music,  and  original  one-act 
plays.  They  have  taken  in 
the  Rembrandt  exhibition  at 
Pennsylvania  State  Univer- 
sity and  are  planning  a  trip  to 
New  York  City. 

The  society  actually 
grew  out  of  a  "creative  arts 
floor"  that  was  established 
in  Williams  Hall,  three 
years  ago. 

Mike  Reaser  '96,  a 
commercial  art 
major,  was  one  of 
the  first  propo- 
nents of  the  floor 
as  a  way  to 
exchange  ideas. 
"I  thought  it 
would  foster 
creativity,"  says 
Reaser.  "Now,  1 
have  somebody 
down  the  hall  1 
can  show  my  art 
work  to  and  get  a 
good  opinion. 
There  is  a  real 
community  to  our 
floor. " 

Coughlin 
concurs.  "It's 
like  a  family.  It's 
comfy,  it's 
homey  and  you

can  smoke  in  our 
lounge." 

Dean  M.  Ben 
Hogan  sees  these 
activities  and 
programs  not  as 
extra-curricular, 
but  as  "co- 
cuiTicular."  "I 
don't  think 
there  should  be 
a  dichotomy 
between  work 
and  leisure  time," 
says  Hogan.  To 
this  end,  the 
Office  of  Student 
Affairs  has  tried 
to  develop  a  partnership 
between  student  life  and 
academic  life. 

Even  life  in  residence  halls 
has  taken  on  a  new  dimension. 
To  encourage  new  students  to 
get  to  know  professors  out- 
side the  classroom,  the 
freshmen  residence  halls  of 
Asbury  and  Skeath  have  a 
faculty  mentor  for  each  floor. 
In  the  evening,  a  residence 
hall  may  have  a  faculty 
member  talk  about  a  hobby  or 
a  local  black  minister  may  lead 
a  discussion  on  race  relations 
as  a  way  of  marking  Black 


History  Month.  This  is  part  of 
what  Dean  Hogan  terms 
residential  education. 

For  Jen  Alexiou  '96  from 
Nanuet,  New  York,  Lycoming's 
campus  life  is  extraordinarily 
important.  She  has  been 
president  of  her  sorority. 
Gamma  Delta  Sigma,  has 
served  on  the  Panhellenic 
Council,  was  house  manager 
of  her  sorority's  floor,  and 
works  in  the  Admissions 
Office.  These  activities,  she 
says,  have  "totally  enriched 
my  college  experience."  She 
feels  that  she  picks  up 
leadership  skills  and  learns 
the  dynamics  of  interacting 
with  people  with  these 
activities.  Plus,  she  adds,  "I 
get  a  good  feeling." 

In  her  position,  Jen  finds 
herself  also  interacting  with 
the  administration.  When  she 
became  president  of  her 
sorority,  she  dropped  a  note 
to  President  James  Douthat. 
Much  to  her  surprise.  Dr. 
Douthat  invited  her  into  his 
office  and  discussed  the  role 
of  sororities  on  campus  for 
more  than  an  hour.  "We  still 
communicate  by  e-mail,"  Jen 
marvels. 


The  lounge  of  the  Creative  Arts  Floor  in  Williams  Hall  is  a  place  for  self- 
expression  (on  wall  canvases)  anil  to  find  friends  with  similar  interests.

A  revitalized  commuter 
student  organization  is 
addressing  the  needs  of  a 
group  that  has  often  felt 
disenfranchised.  The  group 
has  a  mentoring  program, 
matching  new  students  with 
veteran  commuters,  and  their 
own  tutoring  program. 
Because  many  of 
these  students  are 
non-traditional  in 
age  and  often 
have  young 
families,  the 
organization  has 
put  together  a 
series  of  family 
nights  as  well  as  a 
program  to 
entertain  young 
children  during 
the  several  days  of 
the  academic  year 
when  Lycoming  is 
in  session  but  ^^^^H 

elementary 
schools  are  not.  The 
organization's  close  working 
relationship  with  the  admin- 
istration has  resulted  in  a 
new  snack  area. 

THE  STUDENT  VOICE 

Lycoming  students  are 
actively  involved  in  the 
governance  of  the  College. 
Students  were  part  of  the 
recent  committee  that  studied 
and  evaluated  the  entire

curriculum.  Search 
committees  for  new  faculty 
members  virtually  always 
include  a  student.  At  the 
very  highest  level,  the 
president  and  past  president 
of  the  Student  Senate  are 
invited  to  the  meetings  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees. 

Hogan  has 
taken  student 
involvement  in 
the  administra- 
tion of  the 
College  another 
step  by  hiring 
students  as 
para-profession- 
als. Criminal 
justice  majors 
now  work  with 
security  officers; 
pre-ministerial 
students  act  as 
peer  ministers; 
H^^^H    nursing  students 

work  in  health 
services,  and  others  work 
as  career  consultants. 
Having  students  on  staff  is 
not  only  a  learning  experi- 
ence for  those  students 
involved,  it  helps  the 
College  be  more  responsive 
to  student  needs. 

"Students  are  more 
likely  to  turn  to  a  peer  in  a 
time  of  need  than  to  a 
professional  staff  member," 
says  Hogan. 


GROWING  COMMUNITY 
SERVICE 

Some  student  energy  is 
going  into  community  service. 
The  most  popular  organiza- 
tion on  campus,  second  only 
to  the  Lycoming  Choir,  is 
Habitat  for  Humanity,  a 
volunteer  organization  that 
builds  homes  for  low-income 
people.  It  now  has  85 
members. 

In  fact,  students  are 
contributing  an  estimated 
12,000  hours  of  volunteer 
service  a  year,  beginning 
with  fall  Freshman  Orienta- 
tion when  the  entire  fresh- 
man class  spends  a  morning 
or  afternoon  working  at  one 
of  22  non-profit  organiza- 
tions in  the  community. 


Dean  Hogan  and  Rev. 
Marco  Hunsberger,  campus 
minister,  team  teach 
Community  Service  103  and

to  fulfill  a  graduation 
requirement  that  calls  for  two 
courses  in  physical  educa- 
tion, wellness,  or  community 
service. 

Fraternities  and  sororities 
have  volunteer  programs  that 
are  encouraged  both  by  their 
own  organizations  as  well  as 
the  College.  Gamma  Delta 
Sigma  sorority  runs  the  local 
soup  kitchen  on  weekends; 
the  Panhellenic  Council  (all- 
sororities)  has  set  up  an  after- 
school  tutoring  program  at  a

Sophomores  Matthew 
Beisch  '98  and  Brenda 
Bowser  '98  are  now  in  their 
second  year  of  a  four-year 
commitment  as  Pennsylvania 
Service  Scholars  (funded 
through  the  Americorps 
program).  They  created  and 
now  administer  an  after- 
school  tutoring  program  that 
enlists  the  volunteer  support 
of  45  Lycoming  students. 
'Tt's  really  growing  and 
becoming  a  wonderful 
project,"  says  Beisch. 

The  two  spend  10  hours  a 
week  not  only  working  with 
children  but  also  completing 
the  government  forms  that  go 
along  with  the  funding. 

"It  is  very  gratifying  to 
see  our  students  develop  a 
social  conscience  and  to  act 
upon  that  conviction,"  says 
Hogan.  We  take  the  view  that 
education  is  a  privilege  and 
with  that  privilege  comes  a 
responsibility  to  give 
something  back." 

Naturally,  there  are  a  few 
problems  on  the  way  to 
students'  personal  develop- 
ment and  social  responsibil- 
ity. Dean  Hogan  concedes.

intense  periods  of 
student  develop- 
ment: they  are 
experimenting 
with  establishing

creating  indepen-

and  dealing  with 
authority." 

Students  now 
are  no  better  or 
worse  than  they 
ever  were.  Dean 
Hogan  feels.  The 
problems  are 
different. 

Mark  Britten, 
director  of 
^^^^^1    counseling,  says 

"The  myth  that 
college  students  are  carefree 
is  no  longer  true  —  if  it  ever 
was.  These  students  have 
had  a  lot  of  life  experience 
before  they  come  here."

control  behavior  to  educating 
students  about  the  responsi- 
bilities of  community  living.

my  political 
career  started 
in  the  9tii 
grade  when  1 
was  elected  as  a  representa- 
tive to  my  high  school 
student  council.  We  met  once 
a  month  and  expressed  our 
opinions,  but  the  high 
school  faculty  never  took  us 
seriously.  So  I  ended  my 
student  council  career  as 
quickly  as  I  started. 
When  I  arrived  at 
Lycoming,  I  realized  that  the 
Student  Association  of 
Lycoming  College  (SALC) 
had  a  voice  in  College 
issues,  so  I  ran  for  Treasurer 
of  the  Sophomore  Class. 

I  discovered,  however, 
that  most  of  the  time  was 
spent  in  fund-raising.  As 
class  officers,  we  sold 
Lycoming  cups  and  key 


chains  to  have  enough 
money  to  put  on  an  event  or 
run  a  program.  Unfortu- 
nately, financial  class 
supporters  were  few  and  far 
between.  We  came  away 
from  the  experience  poorer 
then  we  started  out  and 
disappointed.  That  might 
have  been  the  permanent  end 
to  my  political  career,  but  at 
the  end  of  1994,  Dean  Hogan 
proposed  to  the  student 
government  a  mandatory 
student  fee  of  $30  per 
semester. 

The  association  passed 
the  Student  Activities  Fee 
which  changed  everything. 
For  the  first  time,  SALC 
would  have  nearly  $83,000 
that  would  be  allocated  to 
student  clubs  and  organiza- 
tions, letting  them  concentrate 
on  programs  and  activities 


rather  than  fund-raising.  And 
the  student  association  would 
have  the  responsibility  for 
allocating  the  money. 

This  windfall  prompted 
SALC  to  write  a  new 
constitution  that  granted 
voting  rights,  spelled  out  the 
duties  of  each  officer,  and 
defined  allocation  rules  for 
the  money. 

As  President  of  the  Junior 
Class,  I  was  a  member  of  the 
first  Budget  Committee  of 
the  new  Student  Senate  of 
Lycoming  College  (SSLC). 
Our  first  meeting  ran  for  four 
hours  as  we  considered  each 
request,  using  as  criteria  how

LYCOMING  COLLEGE  MAGAZINE  •  WINTER/SPRING  96 


A  break  in  classes  (nilside  the  Accideiiuc  Center.  Lycoming  life  intlside  class 
contributes  to  the  Lycoming  experience. 


At  the  end  of  my  junior 
year,  I  was  elected  president 
of  the  Student  Senate  of 
Lycoming  College,  a  reward- 
ing but  highly  stressful  job. 

Most  of  my  week  re- 
volves around  preparing  for 
my  Monday  night  meetings 
or  sitting  on  boards  and 
committees.  I  represent 
the  students  for  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  the  Alcohol 
Committee  and  much  more. 

A  day  never  goes  by  that  I 
don't  get  a  call  from  one  of 
the  campus  organizations  with 
a  problem,  faculty  or  staff 
wanting  to  address  a  campus 
issue,  or  e-mail  from  anyone 
who  has  an  opinion.  The 
cycle  of  people  contacting  me 
never  ends,  and  everyone 
wants  an  immediate  answer. 

I  have  to  deal  with  issues 
that  can  range  from  the 
alcohol  policy  to  the  dining 
service.  Overall,  I  do  try  to 
find  the  time  to  conquer  the 
important  is.sues  that  the 
students  express.  When 
students  were  concerned 
about  not  having  a  concert 
this  fall,  we  set  up  a  presen- 
tation to  inform  the  student 
body  on  how  much  prepara- 
tion and  money  is  involved 
in  putting  a  concert  together. 


In  order  to  keep  my  sanity, 
I  delegate  various  service 
projects,  traditional  class 
events,  and  the  overseeing  of 
campus  events  such  as 
Homecoming. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  job 
of  president  is  very  rewarding. 
I  am  learning  how  the 
administrative  side  of  a 
business — such  as  this 
institution — is  run.  This 
should  help  me  in  my  future 
career  in  public  relations. 
Another  reward  is  the  satis- 
faction of  changing  or 
influencing  policies  and 
having  an  impact  on  the 
College. 

The  Student  Senate  can't 
change  everything  that  the 
students  don't  like  about  the 
College,  but  we  certainly  try. 
I  think  that  it  is  very  impor- 
tant for  students  to  be  able  to 
express  their  feelings,  and 
the  Senate  provides  them 
with  the  opportunity  to  have 
a  voice  on  college  issues. 

As  the  year  moves  on,  I 
will  continue  to  represent  the 
students  of  Lycoming  College. 
My  most  important  objective 
for  the  students  is  that  I  con- 
tinue to  be  an  effective  liaison 
between  the  administration, 
faculty  and  my  classmates.  A

Fifty  years  ago,  a  musty 
discovery  in  the  attic  of 
the  Old  Main  spariced  a 
debate  over  the  role  of  women 
on  campus.  Writers  of  the 
1948  Lyconiing  Courier 
newspaper  found  a  photo- 
graph of  two  females  in 
their  dorm  room  at  the  turn 
of  the  century.  This  led  to 
research  of  the  policies  and 
procedures  that  governed 
women  at  the  college. 

The  resulting  1948  news- 
paper article  showed  the 
contrasts  between  the 
environment  of  the  College 
at  the  tum-of-the  century  and 
the  more  relaxed  environ- 
ment of  fifty  years  later  By 
today's  standards,  the  rules 
even  then  seem  strict  and 
burdensome. 

Times  have  definitely 
changed  for  women  at 
Lycoming  over  the  years. 
Since  the  early  days  of 
coeducational  colleges,  the 
policies  and  standards  gov- 
eming  women's  behaviors  and 
interaction  with  their  male 
counterparts  have  evolved. 

At  the  turn  of  the  century, 
women  were  forbidden  from 
speaking  with  the  opposite 
sex  when  they  saw  them  on 
campus.  There  were 
penalties  for 
infractions  such 
as  note  passing 
or  violating  the 
speaking  rule. 

"Any  offending 
student  may  be 
punished,  according 
to  the  nature  of  the 
offense,  by  private  or 
public  reproof,  suspension, 
dismission  or  expulsion," 
said  the  1903-1904  Cata- 
logue. Women  were  also  not 
allowed  to  leave  the 
campus  without  permission, 
were  never  allowed  callers  at 
their  rooms,  and  were 
chaperoned  to  and  from 
church,  entertainments, 
games,  and  trains. 


A  LOOK  Back 


▼  Women 
Campus 


"Although  these  rules 
seem  ridiculously  rigid  now. 
they  were  undoubtedly 
considered  lenient  in  their 
day,"  the  1948 
Lyconung  Courier 
continued. 

Interaction  between 
the  sexes  was  only 
permitted  one  evening 
a  week  set  aside 
for  callers  to  the 
women's  dorm- 
itory. After  dinner, 
gentlemen  were 
allowed  into  the 
receiving  room 
where  the  ladies 
would  appear  for 
three  minute  chap- 
eroned visits,  according  to 
the  Courier.  Later,  this  was 
changed  to  two  evenings  a 
week  for  fifteen  minutes  at 
a  time. 

By  1948,  the  women 
were  allowed  callers  to 
their  dormitory  every  night 
of  the  week  after  dinner 
until  8:00  p.m.  They  were 
also  allowed  to  go  out  on 
Friday  and  Saturday  evenings. 


as  well  as  be  sociable  at  all 

times. 

The  Lycoming  Courier 

staff  hoped  their  informal 
comparison 
would  be  con- 
tinued again 
some  time  in  the 
future. 

"The  two 
pictures  that  are 
used  in  this 
comparison  will 

now  be  carefully  tucked  away 

in  some  comer  of  the  attic  of 

Old  Main,  and  perhaps. 

fifty  years  hence,  some 

member  of  the  Courier 

staff,  say  Lycoming 

"98,  may  make  an 

even  more  detailed 

comparison  for  the 

benefit  of  the  students 

of  the  future,"  the 

article  said. 

Perhaps,  having  stumbled 

across  this  article  much  like 

the  staff  in  1948  stumbled 

upon  the  1903  picture,  the 

comparison  can  continue. 
Those  women  in  the  class 

of  1 948  may  be  heartened  by 


the  fact  that  their  granddaugh- 
ters in  1996  enjoy  the  same 
privileges  as  the  men.  Only 
Rich  Hall  remains  an 
entirely  female  residence  hall. 
Every  other  residence  hall  on 
campus  is  coeducational, 
either  by  floor  or  by  suite. 

All  students  also  enjoy 
24-hour  visitation,  which 
means  anyone  can  have 
guests  of  either  sex  in  their 
rooms  at  any  time  they  wish. 
This  freedom  creates  an  open 
environment  for  both  sexes 
to  exercise  the  same  rights 
and  follow  the  same  policies. 

"I  can  have  friends  over  to 
visit  anytime  it's  convenient, 
not  just  during  a  set  period  of 
time,"  said  Christianne 
Vaughn,  a  junior  art  history 
major. 

Denise  Davidson,  director 
of  residence  life  at  Lycoming, 
explained  the  new  policy 
includes  requirements  for 
escorting  visitors  in  the  build- 
ing and  registering  any  non- 
students  with  the  Department 
of  Safety  and  Security. 

Davidson  says  the  policy 
seems  to  have  helped  students, 
especially  incoming  freshmen, 
to  see  each  other  more  real- 
istically. "There  are  more 
men  and  women  who  have 
platonic  relationships  than  in 
the  past,"  said  Davidson.  She 
credits  those  relationships 
to  making  the  residence 
halls  co-ed  and  allowing 
visitation. 

Noting  the 
cyclical  nature  of 
social  conventions, 
Davidson  said  that 
somewhere  down 
the  road  policies 
could  revert  to  the 
old  role  of  the 
College  as  parents.  "Student 
affairs  on  campuses  in  the 
fifties  were  very  protec- 
tive," said  Davidson.  "Who 
knows,  in  another  fifty 
years,  it  may  swing  back 
toward  that."

CAMPUS       NOTES 


Evert  Quad  and 
Gates  Dedicated 

Lycoming  College  dedi- 
cated a  new  gate  and  quad- 
rangle in  honor  of  Dr.  Samuel 
H.  Evert  '34  and  his  wife, 
Dorothy,  of  Bloomsburg  and 
North  Palm  Beach,  Florida,  for 
their  service  and  support  of 
the  College.  The  dedication 
ceremony  took  place  on 
Saturday,  Nov.  4,  during 
Parents'  Weekend.  The  gate 
gives  the  College  a  west 
entrance  on  Mulberry  Street  at 
Ross  Street.  The  Evert 
Quadrangle  lies  between  the 
Heim  Biology  &  Chemistry 
Building  and  the  Academic 
Center,  bounded  by  Mulberry 
Street  and  College  Place. 

Dr.  Evert,  who  grew  up  in 
Kulpmont,  Pa.,  graduated 
from  Dickinson  Seminary  and 
spent  a  year  at  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  leaving  to 
work  in  the  family  lumber 
business. 

He  founded  the  construction 
company,  S.  H.  Evert  Co.,  Inc.. 
in  1941 ,  and  ran  the  company 
until  his  retirement  in  1976. 
The  construction  company 
was  responsible  for  major 
construction  at  Penn  State 
University  and  Susquehanna 
University  as  well  as  a  large 
number  of  hospitals,  factories, 
and  schools  in  Central 
Pennsylvania. 


He  became 
a  member  of 
the  Lycoming 
College 
Board  of 
Trustees  in 
1969  and 
subsequently 
served  in  a 
leadership 
role  on  the 
Buildings 
and  Grounds 
Committee 
where  his 

building  experience  was  of 
great  value  to  the  College.  In 
fact,  his  vision  led  to  the 
construction  of  the  Fine  Arts 
Center,  the  Physical  Education 
facility,  and  the  Heim  Biology 
and  Chemistry  Building. 

In  1988,  Evert  received  an 
honorary  Doctor  of  Laws 
degree  from  Lycoming  for  his 
outstanding  service  and 
leadership. 

Evert  is  married  to  the 
former  Dorothy  Wallen  of 
Palmerton.  They  have  four 
children,  10  grandchildren  and 
five  great-grandchildren.

different  sites  in  Lycoming 
County  as  part  of  the  Fresh- 
man Orientation  Program. 
The  program  serves  as 
an  introduction  of  freshmen 
to  both  the  community  and 
to  the  idea  of  community 
service  as  a  part  of  com- 
munity life. 

The  program  was  de-

Lycoming's 

Clothesline 

Project 

Recognized 

in  Chronicle 

of  Higher 

Education 

Lycoming 
College  spoke  out 
against  violence 
against  women  by  participat 
ing  in  the  national  "Clothes- 
line Project." 


The  Clothesline  at  Lycoming 
College  was  organized  by 
Mark  Britten,  director  of 
counseling  services,  with  the 
help  of  Dr.  Kathryn  Ryan's 
classes  in  Introduction  to 
Psychology  and  Psychology 
of  Women,  members  of 
sororities  as  well  as  a  number 
of  independent  students. 

The  students  designed 
color-coded  T-shirts  and  hung 
them  on  a  clothesline  set  up  in 
the  Academic  Center.  A 
"black"  shirt  testified  to 
general  violence  against 
women;  red,  pink  or  orange 
shirt  represented  a  survivor  of 
rape  or  incest;  lavender 
denotes  a  person  attacked 
because  she  is  lesbian;  while  a 
white  shirt  bears  witness  to  a 
person  who  died  from 
relationship  violence. 

The  Clothesline  Project 
was  founded  in  the  summer  of 
1990  at  a  meeting  of  the  Cape 
Cod  Women's  Agenda  and 
has  been  gaining  national 
support.  Lycoming's  clothes- 
line was  pictured  in  the 
Chronicle  of  Higher  Education.

CAMPUS  NOTES 


Leonard  Sylk  who  have  been 
collecting  art  together  for 
over  20  years. 

For  the  show,  the  Sylks 
selected  1 8  paintings  pro- 
duced over  the  last  40  years, 
all  by  artists  from  the 
Pennsylvania  Academy  of 
Fine  Arts.  As  Philadel- 
phians,  they  have  become 
friends  and  admirers  of  many 
of  the  artists  at  the  Academy 
where  both  have  devoted 
considerable  time  as  board 
members.  Barbara  Sylk  also 
has  been  very  active  in  the 
Philadelphia  art  scene  as  a 
gallery  owner. 

Their  collection  features 
some  of  the  best  contempo- 
rary artists  from  the  Greater 
Philadelphia  area,  notes 
Roger  Shipley,  chair  of  the 
Lycoming  College  art 
department. 

Alfred  D.  Kohler  is 
Remembered  in 
Lycoming  College 
Scholarship 

Alfred  D.  Kohler  spent 
the  last  ten  years  of  his  life 
pursuing  a  dream  he  had 
delayed  for  60  years.  After  a 
career  as  a  music  educator 
and  administrator.  Kohler 
indulged  in  his  love  for  art  by 
taking  every  studio  art  course 
offered  by  Lycoming 
College — some  of  them 
several  times. 

Prof.  Roger  Shipley  of 
Lycoming  recalls  Kohler  as 
"a  wonderful  addition  to  every 
class  he  took.  He  was  always 
perceptive  and  students 
enjoyed  his  friendliness  and 
willingness  to  talk." 

When  Kohler  died  last 
summer  as  a  result  of  injuries 
sustained  in  an  automobile 
accident,  the  Lycoming 
College  art  department 
wanted  to  remember  his  love 
of  art.  This  fall  the  friends 
of  Alfred  Kohler  established 
the  Alfred  Kohler  Studio 


Artist  Award  Fund.  Income 
from  the  fund  will  be  awarded 
to  a  student  majoring  in  studio 
art  with  the  money  designated 
for  art  supplies.  Purchasing 
art  supplies,  Shipley  points 
out,  is  a  major  financial 
commitment  for 
students.  A  set  of  basic  oils  ui 
acrylics  can  cost  $150. 
Watercolor  paper,  alone,  can 
cost  $6.00  a  sheet. 

Persons  interested  in 
supporting  the  Alfred  D. 
Kohler  Artist  Award  Fund  can 
make  their  gift  by  sending  a 
check  payable  to  Lycoming 
College,  Box  165,

the  promise  of  the  information 
highway  a  reality.  She  also 
addressed  the  many  issues  that 
have  not  yet  been  satisfacto- 
rily resolved  such  as  protec- 
tion of  data  ownership, 
privacy,  security,  data  valida- 
tion, and  archiving.

Science  at 
Lycoming  College 

More  than  1 20  Girl 
Scouts  from  the  Hemlock 
Girl  Scout  Council  explored 
astronomy,  biology,  chemis- 
try, engineering,  and  physics 
in  November  at  Lycoming 
College.  The  girls  looked  at 
faraway  galaxies  in  the 
Detwiler  Planetarium, 
dissected  owl  pellets, 
discovered  principles  of 
physics  and  chemistry, 
and  tested  the  theories 
of  engineering  by 
constructing  miniature 
suspension  bridges. 

Carolyn  Blatchicy

Poll  Sci  Instructor 
Puts  Theory  to 
the  Test 

Lycoming  College 
political  science  instructor. 
Mary  Wolf,  has  taught 
political  science  at  Lycoming 
for  1 1  years.  She  has  taught 
"Women  in  Politics," 
"American  Government." 
"Congress  and  the  Presi- 
dency," "Bureaucracy  in 
Public  Administration,"  and 
"Public  Opinion  Polling." 
Until  this  year,  she  has  never 
nan  for  office.    In  November, 
she  made  a  successful  bid  for 
Williamsport  City  Council. 

"I  find  that  some  of  the 
things  I  have  taught  in  my 
"Women  and  Politics'  aie  true 
for  me,"  she  says.  Histori- 
cally, women  in  politics  have 
trouble  asking  for  money  and 
not  getting  enough  volunteer 
support.  Mrs.  Wolf  found 
that  true  for  herself.

Miiry  Wolf  is  putting  political  theory 
to  the  test  as  a  city  councillor. 

During  the  fall,  she  spent 
an  average  of  10  hours  a 
week  on  her  campaign,  time 
comparable  to  preparing  and 
teaching  an  extra  class  each 
week.  One  added  benefit  of 
running  for  office,  Mrs.  Wolf 
has  gained  a  lot  of  stories  for 
her  political  science  courses. 

Internships  Up 

During  1994-95,  42%  of 
Lycoming  College  juniors 
and  seniors  participated  in  an 
internship,  a  practicum,  a 
professional  semester 
(student  teaching),  or  a 
clinical  (nursing). 

Internships  at  Lycoming 
College  have  doubled  in  the 
past  three  years — a  com- 
bination of  student  interest 
and  accessibility  of  employ- 
ers in  Williamsport.  Intern- 
ships are  not  necessarily  the 
province  of  business  majors. 
Students  in  virtually  any 
major  can  have  an  internship. 

Examples  of  this  include: 
Dixie  Albro,  a  music  major, 
who  worked  with  and 
sang  with  The  Gregg  Smith 
Singers  at  Saranac  Lake; 
Andrea  Girio,  psychology 


major,  interned 
at  a  center  for 
battered  women; 
and  Elenore 
Lubas,  an  art 
major,  who 
painted  murals

Lacrosse  Comes  to 
Lycoming 

Lacrosse  will  join 
Lycoming's  sports  program 
this  fall,  bringing  the  number 
of  varsity  sports  on  campus  to 
19.  Coach  Gene  Peluso, 
formerly  of  Drew  University, 
will  coach  both  men's  and 
women's  teams. 

Lacrosse  is  being  sponsored 
as  a  club  team  during  the 
spring  semester  before 
advancing  to  a  varsity  sport 
during  the  1996-97 
academic  year. 

Peluso  had  been  an 
assistant  coach  for  Drew 
University's  men's  lacrosse 
team  for  the  past  year-and-a- 
half.  Prior  to  that,  he  was 
the  head  coach  at  McQuaid 
Jesuit  High  School  in  Roches- 
ter, N.Y.,  for  three  years. 

Dean  of  Student  Affairs 
Ben  Hogan  and  Athletic  Dir- 
ector Frank  Girardi  both  said 
that  the  idea  of  bringing 
lacrosse  to  campus  began 
last  year. 

"Last  spring,  we  started  to 
consider  it  on  a  recreational 
level,"  Hogan  said.  "Then  we 
began  discussions  about  an 
intercollegiate  sport  after  that." 

Interest  in  lacrosse  was 
expressed  by  both  current 
students  as  well  as  potential 
applicants. 

The  College  purchased 
equipment  during  Fall  1995 
that  could  be  used  on  a 
recreation  basis. 

Girardi  expects  the  addition 
of  lacrosse,  to  Lycoming's 
already-expansive  athletic 
program,  to  be  a  plus. 

"I  think  it  is  a  positive  any 
time  that  you  can

'^ 


add  a  sport  that  is  going  to 
enhance  the  College  for  the 
admissions  process."  he  said. 

While  the  sport  may  not 
be  a  household  activity  in 
central  Pennsylvania,  Hogan 
notes  that  lacrosse  is  popular 
in  areas  from  where  Lycoming 
draws  students.  He  said  New 
Jersey,  New  York,  Maryland, 
and  the  Philadelphia-area 
have  programs  on  the 
scholastic  level. 

CoUegiately,  several 
Middle  Atlantic  Conference 
schools  already  have  the 
sport  in  place.  Drew  and 
Widener  both  sponsor  men's 
and  women's  programs. 
Scranton  and  FDU-Madison 
have  men's  lacrosse,  while 
Susquehanna  has  a  women's 
program. 

Hogan  expects  the  sport 
to  be  a  hit  on  the  Lycoming 
campus. 

"Lacrosse  is  absolutely  a 
growing  sport. 
From  a 
student-life 
aspect,  it's 
a  fine 
spectator 
sport.  In 


Bnan  Kellv 


addition,  one  of  the  exciting 
aspects  for  us  is  that  we'll  be 
attracting  a  different  type  of 
student,  not  only  for  coming 
to  school,  but  also  for 
playing  for  a  new  program," 
he  said.

JEFF  RAUFF 


on  the  Run  with 
the  Warrior  Club 

Jeff  Rauff  '72  is  one  to 

rarely  walk  away  from  a 
challenge.  Chances  are  he'll 
run  to  it. 

Rauff,  who  serves  as 
President  of  the  Warrior  Club 
Executive  Committee,  is  also 
an  avid  runner  and  will  take 
part  in  the  1996  Boston 
Marathon. 


"I  really 
wanted  to  take 
part  in  the  '96 
Boston  race," 
noted  Rauff, 
whose  first-ever 
road  race  was  a 
marathon  in 
1978.  "It  is  the 
centennial  of  that 
marathon  and  I 
wanted  to  be 
in  it." 

Boston 
Marathon 
officials  will  be 
accepting 
applications  for 
the  centennial 
marathon  which 
will  have  an 
expanded  field 
this  year,  but 

Rauff  didn't  want  to  take  any 
chances  on  missing  out 
through  a  lottery  system.  He 
completed  the  Hartford 
Marathon  this  fall  in  3  hours, 
17  minutes  qualifying  him 
unconditionally  for  the  race. 
It  was  only  the  third  mara- 
thon that  he  ever  entered, 
although  he  competed  in 
triathalons  for  nine  years. 

Rauff  competed  for  the 
Lycoming  College  swim 
team  under  his  father,  Mort 
Rauff,  and  even  coached  the 
team  following  his  father's 
retirement.  Since  that  time, 
Jeff  has  taken  on  many 
challenges.  Last  summer,  he 
was  appointed  to  the  Warrior 
Club  Executive  Committee 
which  will  aid  in  enhancing 
the  athletics  program  at  the 
College  through  fundraising 
and  special  events. 

"I  have  a  lot  of  affection 
for  the  College  and  believe  in 
what  the  school  is  doing," 
Rauff  said  .  "I'm  always 
impressed  by  the  outpouring 
of  affection  from  athletes, 
which  is  evident  by  the  Hall 
of  Fame  acceptance  speeches 
every  year.  It's  a  very  solid 
bond  that  shows  the  impact

that  the  faculty, 
administration 
and  the  coaching 
staffs  have  had 
on  our  athletes." 

Rauff  is  the 
first  to  tell  you 
that  getting 
involved  with 
the  College  or 
any  community 
service  activity 
is  a  large 
undertaking. 
"I  have  a 
personal 
responsibility  to 
get  involved 
with  the  College 
and  the  commu- 
nity," added 
Rauff.  "You 
don't  help  with 
something  because  you  want 
to  earn  awards  or  gain 
recognition.  You  have  to  feel 
strongly  enough  toward 
something  to  become  a  part 
of  it,  whether  it  be  fund- 
raising  or  serving  on  a  board. 
You  feel  satisfied  when  you 
see  results." 

In  addition  to  his  athletic 
prowess,  Rauff  has  been  on 
the  Board  of  Directors  for  the 
Williamsport  YMCA  since 
1983  and  served  as  president 
on  the  board  for  one  term. 
He  will  return  to  the  board 
presidency  of  the  YMCA 
again  in  April. 

"I  enjoy  being  involved  in 
community  serivce,"  added 
Rauff,  a  partner  in  the 
Hartman  Agency,  one  of  the 
most  successful  independent 
insurance  agencies  in  central 
Pennsylvania.  "Whether  at 
the  YMCA  or  with  the 
College  through  the  Warrior 
Club,  I  have  a  responsibility 
to  give  back.  As  a  business- 
man, 1  take  money  from  the 
contmunity  so  why  shouldn't 
I  put  some  back?" 

So  what's  next  for  Jeff 
besides  the  Boston 
Marathon,  a  board  presi- 


dency and  his  work  with  the 
College? 

"It  looks  like  I'll  be 
coaching  my  daughter's 
youth  soccer  team  this  year," 
said  Rauff,  with  a  big  grin  on 
his  face.  "Family,  athletics 
and  community  service 
bring  balance  to  my  Ufe.  I'm 
glad  I  have  the  opportunity  to 
give  back  what  I  can." 

Warrior  Club     ^ 

Staying  involved  with  the 
Lycoming  athletic  depart- 
ment has  never  been  easier. 

The  Warrior  Club  was 
recently  established  as  a  way 
of  getting  alumni,  friends, 
supporters  and  fans  more 
involved  in  the  athletics  pro- 
gram at  Lycoming  College. 

By  joining  the  Warrior 
Club,  individuals  can  keep 
up  to  date  with  all  of  the 
College's  sports  programs,  in 
addition  to  being  part  of  the 
"team  behind  the  team." 

With  a  donation  of  $40 
or  more,  Wanior  Club 
members  receive  the  quarterly 
newsletter  "From  the  Club- 
house", invitations  to  Warrior 
Club  events,  and  a  memento. 

Money  raised  by  the 
Warrior  Club  goes  directly 
to  the  individual  sports  or 
areas  that  you  see  fit.  Equip- 
ment, uniforms,  travel 
expenses,  team  meals,  awards 
and  banquets  are  all  aided  by 
your  tax-deductible  contribu- 
tions. 

By  becoming  a  member 
of  the  Wiuiior  Club,  you  can 
help  the  promising  student/ 
athletes  at  Lycoming  in  their 
endeavors  on  the  field  or 
court.

ALUMNI        NEW 


From  the  Alumni  Executive 
Board  President 


Dear  Alumni: 

The  Executive  Board  of 
Lycoming's  Alumni  Association 
met  this  past  November  and 
welcomed  five  new  members 
whose  time  and  talent  will  be 
greatly  appreciated  during  their 
three-year  term. 

At  the  top  of  the  Board's 
meeting  agenda  was  a  follow-up 
presentation  by  Dr.  Arthur 

Stemgold,  director  of  the  Institute  for  Management 
Studies,  and  Jeffrey  J.  Myers  "95,  a  student  from  his 
advanced  market  research  course,  regarding  the  Alumni 
Board's  1995  Alumni  Opinion  Survey. 

The  purpose  of  the  survey  was  to  find  out  how 
alumni  feel  about  a  variety  of  alumni-related  issues. 
The  results  will  be  used  by  the  Board  and  Alumni 
office  to  improve  alumni  programs.  An  upcoming  issue 
of  the  Lycoming  College  Magazine  will  contain  a 
summary  of  these  findings  and  outline  our  future  plans. 

Within  the  next  month  or  so,  you  will  be  receiving 
information  about  Lycoming  College's  Alumni  Direc- 
tory from  the  Bernard  C.  Harris  Publishing  Company. 
Please  make  sure  to  complete  and  return  the  question- 
naire by  the  deadline  so  that  you  will  be  included  in  the 
1996  issue.  This  information  will  also  help  to  update 
your  Alumni  office  file. 

When  you  purchase  your  copy  of  the  Alumni 
Directory,  the  Executive  Board  will  receive  a  royalty. 
This  presents  a  wonderful  opportunity  for  the  Board  to 
have  funding  in  support  of  the  goals  and  objectives  of 
its  four  committees:  Campus  Affairs,  Student  Develop- 
ment, Regional  Affairs,  and  Development.  Strengthen- 
ing our  alumni  network  and  interacting  with  cuirent 
students  to  provide  career  advice  are  the  foundations 
the  Board  will  build  upon  in  developing  this  year's 
events,  services,  and  programs. 

Our  next  meeting  is  March  22  and  23.  As  always, 
your  comments  and  questions  about  the  Alumni 
Association  are  welcome  and  can  be  directed  to  the 
Alumni  office  at  1-800-345-3920,  ext.  4036. 

Please  accept  my  best  wishes  for  a  peaceful,  joyous, 
and  successful  1996.

STAND  UP 


AND  BE 


COUNTED 


FUND 


Participation  is 
Everything 

As  the  Annual  Fund  drive 
draws  to  a  close  (this  June 
30),  your  participation  is 
more  important  than  ever 
before. 

Alumni  participation  in 
the  Annual  Fund  is  one  of  the 
criteria  used  in  the  U.S.  News 
&  World  Report  college 
ranking.  (This  past  year,  we 
were  1 1th,  slipping  off  the 
lop  ten  list  by  a  fraction  of  a 
rating  point.) 

It  is  also  a  yard- 
stick by  which  many 
oundations  measure 
our  worthiness  for 
educational  grants. 

Last  year,  just  33% 
of  our  alumni  contrib- 
uted to  Lycoming 
College.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  percentage  of  alumni 
giving  gifts  to  Ivy  League 
colleges  is  well  over  50%  in 
any  given  year. 

Please  help  us  to  improve 
the  percentage  of  giving  over 
last  year.  Your  check  now  (in 
the  envelope  provided)  can 
make  a  very  large  difference. 

Annual  Fund 
Malies  tlie 
Difference 

The  half  million  dollars 
generated  through  the 
Annual  Fund  is  money  that 
can  be  used  immediately  by 
the  College  to  meet  a  number 
of  special  needs. 

Most  of  this  money 
goes  to  financial  aid — 
often  making  the 
difference  in  recruiting 
a  top  student  or  in 
helping  another  worthy 
student  stay  in  school. 
Some  of  the  Annual 
Fund  money  goes  into 
special  programming, 
helping  to  finance  anything 
from  computer  software 
programs  to  an  expanded 
Study  Abroad  Program. 


This  half  million  dollars  is 
our  margin  of  excellence, 
helping  Lycoming  grow  and 
develop.  Over  the  final  years 
of  this  century,  our  goal  is  to 
double  the  Annual  Fund  to  a 
one  million  dollar  margin  of 
excellence.  Your  generous 
donation  now  will  help  us  on 
our  way  to  that  goal. 

How  We  Raise 
Money 

While  we  use  mail 
solicitation,  we  have  come  to 
rely  on  student-run 
phonathons  in  the  fall 
and  spring.  With 
rising  postage  costs, 
this  is  actually 
becoming  a  more  spst 
effective  way  of 
raising  money. 
Our  student  callers  are 
usually  impressed  with 
courtesy  and  interest 
expressed  by  many  of  our 
alumni.  Some  callers  even 
make  note  on  alumni  that 
may  provide  insight  on  a 
career  track. 

Many  of  our  alumni  feel 
that  this  is  the  easiest  way  to 
give  to  the  college  because 
they  can  use  their  credit  card 
and  give  on  the  spot — no 
check  or  stamp  required. 

We  also  feel  that  having 
our  students  reach  out  to 
alumni  is  the  very  best  way 
of  telling  you  what  Lycoming 
is  all  about.

I  enjoy  talking 
to  alumni. 
Because  we 
both  have 
Lycoming 
experiences  we 
immediately 
have  something 
in  common. 
It's  nice  to  hear 
their  positive

KITNER  '34,

College 
varsity 
football 
players,  all  in 
their  eighties, 
were  together 

for  the  first  time  in  60  years  in  mid-November  1995.  The 
impromptu  reunion  came  about  over  breakfast  in  the  Quilted 
Bear  restaurant  in  Scottsdale,  Ariz. 

In  the  football  seasons  of  1933  and  1934.  these  three  octo- 
genarians played  for  Dickinson  Junior  College  and  Seminary. 
It  was  Paul,  age  82,  a  native  of  Carlisle,  Pa.,  left  halfback 
on  tho.se  ancient  teams,  who  instigated  the  surprise  get- 
together.  Paul's  wife  passed  away  several  years  ago.  He  is 
living  in  a  small  apartment  near  Reading,  Pa.  His  cousin, 
Peggy,  wed  to  Rev.  Charles  Ferrell,  retired  minister  in  Mesa, 
Ariz.,  invited  him  to  visit.  Paul  knew  that  two  teammates  were 
lining  in  the  Phoenix  area.  He  was  able  to  track  down  the 
home  addresses  and  phone  numbers  of  Charlie,  81,  and  Jack. 
80.  They  had  been  co-captains  of  those  teams.  Charlie  was  a 
right  end  and  Jack  a  right  halfback. 

When  Paul  phoned  Jack,  he  learned  that  he  and  Charlie, 
who  had  been  roommates  in  college,  had  been  having  break- 
fast together  on  Saturday  mornings  for  the  past  20  years.  This 
set  up  a  surprise  meeting  of  Paul  and  Chariie.  Rev.  Ferrell 
brought  Paul  to  the  restaurant  where  Charlie  and  Jack  were 
about  to  order  breakfast.  Both  Paul  and  Chariie  admitted  that 
60  years  made  a  difference.  They  would  not  have  recognized 
each  other  if  their  meeting  had  been  casual. 

Chariie  came  first  to  Arizona  in  1947  from  Ridgway,  Pa. 
Jack,  a  native  of  Renovo,  Pa.,  came  in  1970,  23  years  later.

"round  robin"  letter,  which 
we  started  in  1952,  the  close 
relationship  continues  to  this

RICHARD  MIX  (history) 
was  the  guest  speaker  at  the 
Union  County  Historical 
Society's  meeting  on  the 
history  of  Williamsport's 
lumber  baron  mansions.  The 


meeting  was  held  at  the

United  Methodist  Home  in 
Lewisburg.  Pa.  He  and  his 
wife,  Miriam,  reside  in 
Williamsport. 


Adapting  to 
Change 


In  college,  NANCY 
HALL  BRUNNER  '52  was 

editor  of  the  newspaper  and 
the  yearbook.  She 
sang  in  the  choir  and  wrote 
and  produced  an  original 
musical  comedy  in  her 
junior  year  as  a  fundraiser. 
In  her  senior  year,  she 
became  the  first  recipient  of 
the  Chieftain  Award  for 
outstanding  service  to  the 
College. 

But  life  after  Lycoming 
has  been  every  bit  as 
peripatetic.  The  South 
Williamsport  native  has 
been  a  writer,  an  editor,  a 
human  resources  consultant, 
a  teacher,  a  facilitator,  and  a 
lecturer. 

One  of  her  first  jobs  was 
in  the  public  relations  office 
of  Lycoming  College, 
editing  the  alumni  maga- 
zine. Her  career  evolved  at 
Hoffmann-La  Roche 
Phannaceutical  Company 
in  New  Jersey  as  she  moved

from  Corporate  Communications  to  Sales  Training  to  Manager  of  Organization  &  Human 
Resource  Development.  While  moving  up  and  through  the  corporate  ladder,  she  pursued  a 
master's  degree  in  behavioral  communication  at  New  York  University. 

Having  made  a  series  of  career  changes,  Nancy  developed  a  model  to  manage  career  transi- 
tions which  she  has  presented  in  workshops.  These  achievements  earned  her  the  TWIN  Award 
conferred  upon  women  achievers  in  New  Jersey  Industry.  "1  have  never  truly  departed  from  my 
liberal  arts  frame  of  reference  for  living,"  she  says.  In  1981,  she  joined  Lehn  &  Fink  Products 
Group  of  Sterling  Drug  as  manager  of  training  and  development  where,  among  other  things,  she 
introduced  computer  literary  for  managers  and  professionals. 

Brunner  is  still  working  at  full-speed  with  two  jobs:  as  an  adjunct  professor  at  Fairleigh 
Dickinson  University  as  well  as  a  private  consultant.  In  fact  she  is  teaching  a  special  "Saturdays" 
course  for  FDU,  comprised  of  four  8-hour  sessions  from  8:30  a.m.  to  5:00  p.m. 

Nancy  explains  her  high-energy  life  in  this  way:  "I  always  think  that  there  are  more  possibilities."

A  Good-Time, 
Toe-Tappin'  Band 

When  Terry  Wild  '68 
and  Doug  Banks '68 

began  entertaining 
Williamsport  audiences 
back  in  1965  with  The 
Billtown  Jazz  Quintet,  they 
probably  never  imagined 
that  30  years  later  their 
passion  for  music  and 
friendship  would  be  just  as 
strong. 

Today,  the  five-member 
Morgan  Valley  Road  Band  —  officially  founded  in  1974  —  performs  over 
40  shows  a  year  at  concerts,  fairs,  and  festivals  throughout  the  mid- 
Atlantic  States.  Each  member  brings  his  own  unique  musical  style  to  the 
band:  Terry  —  comet,  trumpet,  and  vocals;  Doug  —  piano;  Steve 
Hulslander  "74  —  guitar,  banjo,  and  vocals;  Dick  Hill  —  bass;  and  Lou 
Feist  —  percussion;  as  well  as  Park  Williams,  sound  technician.  "I  was 
anxious  to  try  to  get  a  band  going,"  recalls  Terry.  "We  started  getting 
together  at  my  barn  and  studio  on  Morgan  Valley  Road  and  that's  how  1 
came  up  with  the  band's  name."  He  comments  further  on  the  history  of 
the  term  "road  band"  for  those  musical  groups  of  the  20s,  30s,  and  40s 
that  traveled  around  nightclub  circuits,  better  known  as  speakeasies. 

While  The  Morgan  Valley  Road  Band  does  quite  a  bit  of  traveling,  they 
are  a  family-oriented  type  of  entertainment  with  an  eclectic  repertoire.  "I 
really  don't  know  how  to  describe  our  music,"  laughs  Terry,  "but  we  call 
it  an  old-time  swing,  razzmatazz  ragtime,  barrel-house  kind  of  style 
wrapped  up  in  a  quintet." 

The  band's  three  alumni  all  pursued  different  majors  while  at 
Lycoming  —  none  of  which  were  music.  Terry  studied  English,  Doug 
biology,  and  Steve  history.  Their  careers  have,  in  turn,  taken  them  in 
different  directions.  Terry  owns  and  operates  a  commercial  photography 
studio,  Doug  is  employed  by  the  City  of  Williamsport  in  the  Department 
of  Parks  and  Recreation,  and  Steve  is  an  elementary  school  teacher  at  the 
West  Branch  School  in  Williamsport.  Additionally,  drtimmer  Lou  Feist 
has  been  an  adjunct  faculty  member  in  Lycoming's  Music  Department. 

Terry  has  taken  on  the  responsibility  for  keeping  the  band  organized  and 
managing  the  performance  schedule  which  is  almost  like  a  part-time  job. 

What  started  out  as  a  hobby  for  Terry  has  become  a  very  meaningful 
part  of  his  life  and  for  those  who  share  The  Morgan  Valley  Road  Band 
spotlight.  "I  feel  very  strongly  that  each  year  there  has  got  to  be  a  little 
progress  in  order  to  get  a  little  more  exposure  for  the  band."

At  the  Helm 

Four  years  after  graduation,  Daniel  Stephen 

Jones  '75  left  his  job  in  Philadelphia  as  district 
advertising  manager  of  the  Farm  Journal  and  sailed 
off  in  his  26-foot  Buccaneer  sailboat,  "The  Seren- 
dipity," bound  for  the  Bahamas. 

The  six-month  sabbatical  found  him  dodging 
hurricanes  in  the  Atlantic,  but  it  taught  him  a  self- 
sufficiency  that  has  come  in  handy  in  running  his 
own  advertising,  marketing  and  public  relations 
consulting  firm.  He  founded  his  own  company. 
Serendipity  International,  in  1986.  In  1990,  after 
ten  years  in  marketing  with  Kimberly-Clark,  he 
became  a  full  time  consultant  with  a  variety  of 
clients  that  range  from  capital  financing  and  leasing 
entities  to  travel  agencies. 

Although  he  still  keeps  his  boat  on  a  lake  north 
of  Atlanta.  Dan  realized  another  long-time  dream  in 
1987  when  he  earned  his  pilot's  license  with  a 
perfect  score  on  the  FAA  exam. 
Jones  is  now  a  southerner  by  marriage,  having  married  Judy  Kemp,  "a  true  southern 
belle,"  in  1980. 

Like  many  in  Atlanta  this  year,  Jones  is  helping  with  the  Olympics.    As  a  member  of 
A-COG  (  Atlanta  Committee  on  Olympic  Games),  he  will  be  coordinating  the  logistics  of 
the  swimming  events,  taking  care  of  such  details  as  the  two  tractor-trailer  loads  of  computer 
paper  needed  for  record-keeping  for  just  these  events. 

In  addition,  he  will  be  helping  to  coordinate  a  number  of  auxiliary  events  being  put  on 
by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  Roswell,  the  Atlantan  suburb  in  which  he  lives. 

In  case  you  wondered:  Yes,  he  does  have  tickets  to  a  number  of  events  which  are  not  for 
sale.  No.  his  house  is  not  for  rent.

Commitment  To 
Value  Earns  Success 
For  CSR 

How  did  J.  Scott  Reed  '86 

turn  $5,000  into  a  computer  firm 
that  annualizes  over  $5 
million  in  sales?  Through  a 
winning  combination  of  hard 
work,  dedication,  and  knowl- 
edge. 

As  president  of  Computer 
Science  Resources,  Inc.  (CSR), 
Scott  has  made  his  company  a 
leader  in  the  design  and  imple- 
mentation of  networked  and  PC  business  systems.  Based  in 
Williamspoil,  with  a  branch  office  in  State  College.  CSR  is 
one  of  the  fastest  growing  microcomputer  firms  in  Northeast- 
em  Pennsylvania,  maintaining  a  100  percent  compounded 
annual  growth  rate  for  the  past  six  years.  "CSR  is  focused  on 
providing  a  single-source  solution  to  our  customers  through 
systems  integration,  programming  services,  education, 
hardware  support,  and  product  fulfillment,"  boasts  Scott. 

Reaching  this  step  did  not  come  without  hard  work  and 
dedication.  Before  he  graduated  from  Lycoming,  Scott  went 
into  business  with  his  father  developing  software  for  invest- 
ment businesses.  Unfortunately,  this  venture  ended  up  losing 
money  and  was  dissolved  in  1989. 

Soon  thereafter,  Scott  decided  to  start  his  own  business 
selling  computers  in  the  Williamsport  area. 

"The  first  thing  I  did  with  my  $5,000  savings  was  to 
automate  the  books  and  the  contact  management  prospecting 
and  order  processing  so  that  with  fewer  people  we  could 
execute  a  larger  volume  of  orders,"  says  Scott.  But  giving  the 
impression  of  being  a  larger  business  was  quite  a  challenge. 
"A  company  would  call,  for  example,  and  if  it  was  a  technical 
question  I  would  say  'Just  a  moment,  let  me  transfer  you  to  our 
technical  department"  and  then  I  would  put  my  hand  over  the 
receiver  and  tell  the  technician  to  grab  the  other  phone.  In 
unison,  we'd  put  one  phone  down,  pick  up  the  extension,  and 
he'd  say  "Technical  support'." 

Today,  CSR  employs  more  than  20  people  and  continues  to 
succeed  in  the  marketplace.  "Our  success  can  be  attributed  to, 
first,  our  quality  people  and,  second,  the  systems  that  are  put 
into  place,"  he  explains.  "  I  invest  a  lot  of  money  in  our 
internal  software  and  hardware  systems  so  that  fewer  people 
can  execute  a  larger  volume  of  orders." 

On  February  1,  1996,  Scott  started  a  new  company, 
UpLink,  that  is  an  Internet  service  provider  which  is  experi- 
encing growth  beyond  that  of  CSR. 

"Lycoming  provided  me  with  the  basic  building  blocks  for 
running  a  business.  I  just  had  to  figure  out  what  to  do  with 
them." 

Judging  by  CSR's  success,  Scott  knows  exactly  how  to  run 
his  company.

From  RA  to  Account  Services 

ANN 
LESLIE 
SHIELDS- 
YOUNG  '87 

has  time  on 
her  hands — 
lots  of 
broadcast 
time  which 
she  buys  as 
a  media 
broker  and 
Vice  President/ Account  Services  of  Universal  Media  in 
Mechanicsburg.  The  company  is  among  the  largest  media 
buying  companies  in  Pennsylvania. 

The  fomier  Chieftain  Award  winner  is  also  on  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  Central  Pennsylvania  Ballet,  on  the 
Advisory  Council  of  the  Harrisburg  River  Boat,  a  member 
of  the  Central  Pennsylvania  Republican  Committee,  and  a 
member  of  Women  in  Advertising. 

She  is  perhaps  proudest  of  her  involvement  with  the 
MIA/POW  fund-raising  program  of  the  Veterans  of 
Vietnam.  She  became  interested  in  the  project,  which 
funds  educational  seminars  on  the  Vietnam  War  as  well  as 
contributing  to  the  families  of  veterans,  through  her 
husband. 

"I  will  definitely  admit  that  the  majority  of  what  I 
learned  at  Lycoming  came  from  life  experience  not  from 
books,"  says  Ann,  although  she  is  quick  to  add  that  she  had 
a  very  positive  experience. 

Her  experience  as  an  RA,  probably  more  than  anything 
else,  prepared  her  for  her  professional  career.  "You  learn 
that  in  a  crisis  you  cannot  lose  your  cool,"  says  Ann.  "In 
those  situations,  an  RA  needs  to  figure  out  what  the  person 
really  needs  and  how  to  meet  these  needs,  skills  that  are 
essential  in  dealing  with  clients." 

Ann  has  been  at  Universal  Media  for  nine  years.  In 
1991,  she  mairied  Don,  one  of  the  partners  in  the  company. 
Although  the  birth  of  Taylor  Ann  Young  in  1993  has 
curtailed  her  business  travel,  she  remains  very  active  in  her 
career  and  community.

County  Democratic  Organization  in  New  Jersey.  His  main 
job  is  to  manage  funds  to  use  for  the  political  races  of  the 
local  mayor,  the  local  state  assembly  and  senate  members, 
the  local  sheriff  and  county  clerk.  The  yearly  funds  are 
raised  from  companies  and  private  contributors.    In  1995, 
the  Middlesex  County  Democratic  Organization  raised  an 
estimated  $1  million. 

"1  get  money  from  private  contributors  and  companies, 
and  then  that  money  is  distributed  to  people  who  imple- 
ment it  to  buy  television  spots,  radio  spots,  and  much 
more,"  said  Martin. 

He  works  side  by  side  with  the  Democratic  national 
and  state  committees  as  well  as  local  congressmen 
planning  fund-raising  events  for  Democratic  candidates. 

Martin  holds  leadership  positions  in  his  community  as 
well.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Democratic  Leadership  and  a 
member  of  the  Young  Democrats.  In  these  organizations, 
he  helps  out  with  political  campaigns  with  door-to-door 
solicitation. 

He  hopes  that  his  work  with  local  organizations  like 
these  and  his  experience  as  a  fund-raising  manager  and 
analyst  will  help  him  in  expand  his  political  aspiration.  He 
would  like  to  work  for  an  elected  official  or  be  elected  as  a 
political  official  himself. 

"Mary  Wolf  was  my  main  force  in  guiding  me  to  my

Alumni 


Have  you  ever  tried  to  get  in  touch  with  an 
old  classmate,  only  to  find  that  the  last 
address  you  have  in  your  telephone 
directory  is  8  years  old?  Well,  your  troubles  are 
over.  Soon  an  impressive  directory  of  our  alumni 
will  be  available  to  help  you  locate  all  your  old 
friends. 

The  new  Lycoming  College  Alumni  Directory, 
scheduled  for  release  in  September/October  1996, 
will  be  the  most  up-to-date  and  complete  reference 
of  over  1 1,000  Lycoming  College  alumni  ever 
compiled!  This  comprehensive  volume  will 
include  cuiTent  name,  address  and  phone  number, 
academic  data,  plus  business  information  (if 
applicable),  bound  into  a  classic,  library-quality 
edition. 

The  Alumni  Office  has  contracted  the  presti- 
gious Bernard  C.  Harris  Publishing  Company,  Inc.. 
to  produce  our  Directory.  Harris  will  soon  begin 
researching  and  compiling  the  information  to  be 
printed  in  the  Directory  by  mailing  a  questionnaire 
to  each  alumnus.  (If  you  prefer  not  to  be  listed  in 

the  Directory,  please 
contact  the  Alumni 
Office  in  writing  as  soon 
as  possible.) 

The  new  Lycoming 
College  Alumni  directory 
will  soon  make  finding 
an  alum  as  easy  as 
opening  a  book.  Look 
for  more  details  on 
the  project  in  future 
issues.

Give 

Stock  to  Lycoming 

American  taxpayers  can  make 
charitable  gifts  of  stocks  and 
bypass  capital  gains  taxes,  in 
effect  using  paper  profits  to 
help  reduce  federal  and.  perhaps, 
state  income  taxes.  Plus  the 
charitable  gift  is  eligible  for  an 
income  tax  deduction  at  its  fair 
market  value  at  the  time  it  is 
given  as  a  gift. 

Many  investors  see  a  charitable 
gift  of  stocks  as  a  way  to  divest 
themselves  of  unwanted  stock 
at  minimal  cost  to  them- 
selves— and  benefit  a  worthy 
organization. 

Please  note:  stock  certificates 
must  be  turned  over  to  the 
College.  Selling  the  stock  first 
will  result  in  capital  gains  tax.
