A CUT ABOVE

McKendree College
Oldest College in Illinois

Because McKendree is the oldest college in Illinois,
it is a cut above all the rest. Old Main, the oldest building
at McKendree College and pictured at the left, was
completed in 1850, twenty-two years after the college
was founded. Dr. Pat Folk, professor of history and
supervisor and preserver of the McKendree archives,
stated, "One thing people don't realize is the number of
dedicated people who have make so many sacrifices to
make this college possible. It's amazing the college has
survived given that it is one of the best schools in one of
the poorest areas of Southern Illinois." This also is what
makes McKendreeCollege a cut above the others.

Tammy Setzekorn interviews Dr. Pat Folk.

Head Coach
Harry Statham

Harry Statham, the NAIA's
winningest active basketball coach, en-
ters his 29th year at the helm of
McKendree College men's basketball
While accruing 631 victories as head
coach of his alma mater, Statham has
taken his team to national prominence
on a number of occasions. The Bearcats
have qualified for post-season play 25
times in 28 years including three trips to
the NAIA National Championship Most
recently, the Bearcats earned a spot at
the 32-team tournament in 1993.

In 1 988, the Bearcats established an NAIA record for most points scored
by two teams when McKendree College beat Huron College 124-107 in the
opening game of the national tournament. This record of 231 total points
scored in one game, still stands today.

Such high scoring games are a trademark of Statham's teams In
1986-87, his Bearcat squad led the nation in scoring with a 105-points per
game average for the entire season.

Another national record was set by the Bearcats in 1979 when
McKendree College successfully shot 39 of 39 free throws in one game
Today, no other four-year collegiate basketball team has bettered that
Bearcat feat

McK Women
accrue impressive
basketball honors

This week in Reviewing Sports we
will return to the McKendree wo-
man's basketball team, as most of
you know, this team was the one
that got the writer involved with
writing articles for the Advertiser.
Since the last article on the Amer-
ican Midwest Conference champion-
ship game, many individual and team
awards have been collected.

Recently at the McKendree Winter
Sports Banquet on April 15, nine
members of the team were recognized
as academic all-conference players.
Those honored included: Angela Ar-
beitCT, Gina Bloemer, Kari Cm-
kovich, Brandi Higgins, Julie Gray,
Amy McMullen, Kelly Suess and
Erica Weihl. Each of these students
earned a 3.0 or higher grade point
average.

Other individual awards given were
to Angela Arbeiter as McKendree's
most improved player; top defensive
player went to Gina Bloemer; Kari
Cmkovich won McKendree's best
free throw award, while Cheryl
Stinchfield was named the team's
most valuable player. Stinchfield led
the Bearcats with 17 points and 7.6
rebounds per game.

Stinchfield was also select-
ed as the American Midwest
Conference Player of the Year
by the opposing AMC coach-
es. In addition, Stinchfield was
named to the First Team American
Midwest All Conference. Finally,
Stinchfield was also selected to the
1995-96 NAIA Division I Ail-
American Second Team and was one
of ten players selected to the East-
man Kodak All-American Team.
Cheryl Stinchfield had an out-
standing season along with an
outstanding four-year career for the
Lady Bearcats.

The team statistics are the most
important. When the team made it to
the championship game, played
tough competition and ended up
sporting a 24-11 record, this is what
wins individual awards. These team
accomplishments also did not go
unrtoticed by the Illinois Basketball
Coaches Association. The IBCA
selected McKendree Coach
Ann DeBoe as its 1996 NAIA
Women's Basketball Coach of
the Year.

1 995 McKendree College Women's Basketball Team. Front Row: Erica Weihe, Sarah Miller, Amy Combs, Brandi Higgins,
Kari Crnkovich, Julie Gray, Maria Appel, Cindy Gaither, Jenny Niebrugge. Back Row: Coach Ann DeBoe, Statistician Mark
Buchanan, Gina Bloemer, Susan Diecker, Angela Arbeiter, Cheryl Stinchfield, Jodi Huelsmann, Alecia Wendte, Amy McMullen,
Polly Waters, Assistant Coach Lisa Willmann.

Ann DeBoe enters her fifth year
directing the McKendree College
women's basketball team.
DeBoe's Bearcats' finished the
1994-95 season with a 17-16
record, the first winning season in
McKendree College women's bas-
ketball history. A casual glance at
previous Bearcat records shows a steady climb. Since DeBoe
arrived at McKendree College in 1991, the women's basketball
team's wins per season have steadily increased. A closer study
of the numbers reveals a steady increase in the strength of the
Bearcats' schedule. Playing nationally ranked NAIA teams has
become the norm for women's basketball at McKendree College.
For the third consecutive year, the Bearcats will participate in the
prestigious East Central University Tournament. This tournament
features a number of top 1 0 teams including the two-time defend-
ing NAIA national champions, Southern Nazarene University, and
the national runner-up, Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

Melissa Jones

The rapid emergence of
McKendree College women's athlet-
ics in the American Midwest Con-
ference and in the National Asso-
ciation of Intercollegiate Athletics
can largely be attributed to Melissa
Jones.

Last season, Jones led her soft-
ball team to a fourth place finish at
the NAIA National Softball Champi-
onship. This is the highest placing
of any athletic team in 1 35 years of collegiate sports competition at
McKendree College.

FOUNDER'S DAY
CELEBRATES
168 YEARS

McKendree College celebrated its 168th anniversay on February
20. To mark this event, McKendree invited back some of its most
prominent people for Founder's Day '96. Bishop William McKendree,
who founded McKendree College, got to meet Dr. W. C. Walton, who was
a dean of the college at one time. The bishop also got to meet Governor
Charles Deneen and his father, Adjutant Samuel Deneen, as well as Mrs.
Edith Flint Thrall, Miss Marion Bothwell, and Erica Weihe, who represented
today's McKendree student, and Dr. James M. Dennis, McKendree's
current president.

McKendree College was founded in 1 828 by Bishop McKendree as
a men's seminary school. Adjutant Samuel Denen was an officer in the
Union Army and was the leader of the 1 17th Regiment. This regiment
from McKendree fought in the Civil War. Adjutant Deneen's son, Charles,
grew up around McKendree and was also a student. After attending
McKendree, Charles Deneen went on to become the governor of Illinois.

In 1869, women were allowed to attend McKendree and one year
later, the first woman to graduate was an education major, Mrs. Edith Flint
Thrall. Miss Marion Bothwell told Bishop McKendree how her family gave
money to the school to help maintain the chapel and set up a scholarship
fund for seminary students. Erica Weihe, who is a current McKendree
student, told Bishop McKendree what it is like to go to school today at
McKendree. She also told him about some of the modern conveniences
McKendree has, such as computers and MicroFridges in every dorm
room.

After Bishop McKendree met with these prominent people, the
chapel bell was rung 168 times at noon in honor of the McKendree's
anniversary.

PSYCHOLOGY
CLUB

McKendree students who were interested in psychology had an
opportunity to expand their knowledge through the activities of the
Psychology Club. Field trips were planned during the year to facilities
such as Alton State Mental Hospital and Lebanon Terrace. Guest
speakers covered such topics as domestic violence and hypnotherapy.

This was the first year the Psychology Club offered a scholarship ,
and the first recipient was Angie Loethen. Officers were Rich Blondin,
President; Amy Foster, VicePresident; Heather Lacquet, Secretary-
Treasurer; and Andy Hetzel, Public Relations.

TECHNO STUDENTS
VISIT CAMPUS

From February 16th through February 29th, Techno International
students visited McKendree. While some students stayed with area host
families, others stayed in the dorms to experience American college life.
During their visit to McKendree, the Techno students attended some
classes and visited other classes. They also went shopping and
sightseeing in St.Louis.Notonlywastheirstayat McKendree educational
for them, it was also a learning experience for students here at
McKendree.

On February 28th, the Techno students held an open house and
shared a little bit of themselves and their Japanese culture. After they
shared the art of orgami with us, we shared our art with them, teaching
them how to make a jar on the wheel in the ceramics room of the art
building.

In all, the Techno students and McKendree students learned much
from each other in the two short weeks they were on our campus.
