Lebanon Valley College
Annville, Pennsylvania 1 7003

Volume 82

Uuring the summer of 1996, the Olympic Games captured the hearts
of people around the world. That overwhelming spirit, which began
with the lighting of the first torch, has persevered throughout the
triumphs and the tragedies of every person and place that has been
touched by the Olympics. Although the torch is gone from Atlanta, its
light remains - in each of us. Each student, professor, and administrator
at Lebanon Valley College possesses that spirit, and with it comes the
ability to make every endeavor a positive and fulfilling experience. In
spite of the official closing of the games, it has clearly been proven at
LVC that "the torch is gone, but we are the light."
— Carrie Stull

Student Life

1 hroughout the academic year there are a variety of
events and activities that fill the campus calendar and
entertain both students and faculty. Each of these proj-
ects, which are all usually sponsored by student or-
ganizations, require an incredible amount of dedication
and time from the people who plan them. That devotion
and hard work is apparent when the event becomes a
success. After the curtain closes or the booths are torn
down, those involved, such as the members of the Spring
Arts Committee, get an opportunity to reflect upon the
positive outcome. That positivity in turn instills within
their minds a new spark of inspiration that will carry
them successfully through their next endeavor.

Freshman
Orientation

A First Taste of College Life

Jl illed with excitement
and nervousness, the
freshmen arrived on
campus to begin an un-
forgettable journey. Led
by orientation leaders,
they unpacked their be-
longings, got acquainted
with their roommates,
and purchased their
books.

At the Opening Con-
vocation, the Class of
2000 officially became
students of Lebanon
Valley College.

Parents soon departed
as students bes:an to ad-
just to their new home.
They became more at
ease as their Resident
Assistants and Peer Ad

visors prepared them for
the college academic
and social experience.
Events such as Playfair
and the dance brought
the whole class together.
The next few days in-
volved First Year Expe-
rience Seminars where
students met and in-
teracted with their aca-
demic advisors and pro-
fessors. Two programs,
Power Plays and Strange
Like Me informed stu-
dents of the realities of
rape and racism. Other
dances and programs
were scheduled to keep
the students entertained
throughout the week-
end.
— Clint S. Rudy

Along with their new classmates, Maureen Haynes, Jimmy
Baylor, and Mike Gloss get a chance to do some teamwork.

To kick off Playfair, the freshmen and their orientation leaders
cheer for one another while taking a few laps around the
Academic Quad.

The students learn rather quickly to trust their new friends!

Juniors Willy Carmona and Mike Washkevich provide some
musical entertainment for the students, parents, and faculty
members after the Opening Convocation.

Jon Pentecost and Mike Keisinger put on a juggling
performance while trying to find new members for their club.

To add to the Activities Fair, Dining Services provides a
Seafood picnic over the dinner hour.

While running the Black Culture Club table, Angie Koons takes
a moment to talk with Vicki Gingrich.

Alpha Psi Omega and Wig & Buckle members Alicia Way and
Bob Bednarczyk hope to find new students with a passion for
theater.

Activities Fair

Annual Event Invites New
Students into Organizations

ednesday, Septem-
ber 4 marked the day of
the annual Activities
Fair, an event in which
organizations on campus
get a chance to show
what they have to offer
and in some cases try to
enlist new members.
Along the walkways of
the Academic Quad
were tables laden with
sign-up sheets, photo al-
bums, and the various
literature of the differ-
ent clubs. There were
approximately 4 1 tables,
each representing an or-
ganization or club on
campus. Some, like the
Psychology and German

clubs were academic,
others were religious
like Project and H.I.S..
Sororities and fraterni-
ties even came out,
along with other new
and unique organiza-
tions like the Juggling
Club.

There were quite a
few added attractions,
like the pseudo-Sumo
wrestling, the Cartoonist
doing free portraits, and
the seafood. The weath-
er may not have been
one of those attractions,
but mercifully, the rain
that had started to fall
did not last very long.

Talent Show

Displaying a Variety of Talents

JLieedy Theater was "a buzz"
with students swarming to the
College Center and filing in to
their seats to witness the
Fourth Annual Talent Show
sponsored by the Black Cul-
ture Club. Leedy reached its
full capacity with spectators
sitting in the aisles and stand-
ing by the doors.

A few minutes after 8 p.m,
the show began with Angie
Koons, BCC President, an-
nouncing the comedian and
host for the evening, Vince
Morris. The crowd was recep-
tive to Morris and warmed up
quite quickly once he began
his opening monologue.

The judges for the Talent
Show were President Pollick,
Dave Newell, Kim Saunders,
Beth Anne Zielsdorff, Cornell
Wilson, and Gentaro Yui. The
judges based the participant's
scores on creativity, audience
appeal, organization, appear-

ance, and talent.

Most of the groups in com-
petition were musical groups
including Fxlipse, and Polyes-
ter Chicken. Some other peo-
ple chose to reveal talents oth-
er than musical ability, such as
Ben Farrell's poetry reading,
Steve Rosenfeld's juggling act,
and the dance group Praise
Him with Dance.

The top three winners for
the night received prize mon-
ey in the amounts of $25, $50,
and $75 respectively. The
winners for the evening were
Polyester Chicken in third pla-
ce, Rosenfeld in second place,
and first to Jason Lausch and
Jennifer Wentzel for their
dance act, to which they con-
fessed that they spent a lot of
time on. Wentzel added that
"the competition was stiff... we
were really surprised by the
outcome."
— Anni M. Shockey

First Place Winners Jason Lausch and Jennifer Wentzel
dance to a mix of music ranging from "Staying Alive" to
"Scream."

The vast crowd responds to one of the many jokes made
by the comedian.

One of last year's most popular acts, Dawn Weiser,
returns to the stage to sing "Stay."

Homecoming

Council Sponsors Olympic Weekend

A he Olympic torch lit
LVC's campus Home-
coming Weekend, Octo-
ber 25-26, as the festivi-
ties of an Athens
Homecoming began. The
committee diligently
worked on a multitude
of activities for students.

Thursday night mark-
ed the beginning of the
line-up when Freshman
and Seniors took on the
Sophomores and Juniors
in the annual powder
puff game. On Friday
night, a bonfire and pep
rally were held on Ar-
nold Field.

On Saturday, stu-
dents, and alumni
crowded the stands to

watch LVC Dutchmen
take on Moravian Col-
lege and to see Yvonne
D'Uva crowned Home-
coming Queen at half-
time.

Before the event took
place, chairperson of the
Homecoming Commit-
tee, Leslie Gardiner sa-
id, "Inspired by the
Olympics theme, the
West Dining Hall will be
decorated with Olympic
Rings, grapes, and pil-
lars." To match the
theme, students were ur-
ged to wear togas to the
dance. That evening,
Brian Blanford was
crowned Homecoming
King.

Crimes of the
Heart

Play Offers Opportunities for
Female Actors

A lie cast of this year's
Homecoming play Crimes
of the Heart worked hard on
stage to prepare for their
opening night in Leedy
Theater.

"I'm really excited about
this show. We have made a
lot of progress, and there is
a lot of intense acting,"
stated Lisa Epting, director
of the play. Crimes of the
Heart is a comedy-drama
that takes place in the
kitchen of the Magrath
house in Hazlehurst, Mis-
sissippi. The story is about
three Magrath sisters and
how each deals with the sui-
cide of their mother and
the "murder" of the family
cat.

The oldest sister, Lenny
Magrath, played by Julie
Repman becomes an old
maid. The middle sister,
Meg Magrath, played by
Brooke Johnson goes off to

Hollywood to find fame
and fortune, but finds nei-
ther. And, the youngest sis-
ter. Babe Botrelle, played
by Gwen Lawson shoots
her wealthy politician hus-
band. The other cast mem-
bers include, Chick Boyle,
played by Danielle Boileau,
the family's cousin. Babe's
lawyer, Barnette Lloyd, is
played by Brandon Flatley
and Meg's old boyfriend,
Doc Porter, is played by
Wayne Knaub.

One valuable quality of
this play is the emphasis it
giyes to women actors.
"Crimes of the Heart is one
of the few available plays
lor production that has
more women than men in
it," stated Dr. Pry. "This
play gives a lot of nice op-
portunities for women ac-
tors because it is centered
around females," said Ep-
ting.
— Ellen Gehr

To be sure that Babe will stay out of jail, Meg talks to Barnette
(Brandon Flatley) about how to best go about the case.

Lenny (Julie Repman) and Meg (Brooke Johnson) argue about
how to deal with Babe's predicament.

Meg tries to get Babe (Gwen Lawson) to talk to her about how
and why she shot her husband.

Chick (Danielle Boileau) bursts into the kitchen to spread the
latest vicious gossip.

Kwanzaa

African American Holiday
Celebrated by BCC

"n Wednesday, Novem-
ber 20, the Lebanon Valley
College Black Culture Club
sponsored the Third An-
nual Kwanzaa Celebration.
The event was held in
Leedy Theater and was fol-
lowed by a reception in
Faust Lounge.

Entertainment for the
evening included music,

storytelling, and a candle-
lighting ceremony which
explained the meaning and
principles of Kwanzaa.
Black Culture Club mem-
bers educated the audience
by explaining that the Afri-
can American holiday fo-
cuses on things such as
strength, family unity, and
culture.

A Girl's Guide to
Chaos

The Endless Search for "Mr. Right"

.TXlpha Psi Omega presented A
Girl's Guide to Chaos by Cynthia
Heimel on Valentine's Day week-
end, February 14-16. It is a witty
play about the plight of the single
woman in the 1990s. The play
focuses on the lives of three
friends, Cynthia, Rita, and Cleo,
and some of the men they en-
counter. The man is not the bad
guy in this play, he is just seen
through the eyes of the woman.
He does however, get to say his
peace, even if it is just for a mo-
ment.

Cynthia, played by Kate Laep-
ple, is the central character. She
is a woman of the 1 990s: works,
sleeps, eats, and is forever in
search of the perfect man.

Cleo, played by Jody Jacobetz,
is an upper-class girl. She is a
scientist who becomes convinced
that her intellect scares away any

chance of a suitor.

Rita, played by Brooke Ander-
son, is a spitfire Texan artist who
knows way too much about what
not to look for in a man. Married
and divorced three times, she just
can't seem to find a man who can
deal with her demands.

Lurene, played by Danielle
Boileau, is a waitress. She appears
a couple of times throughout the
show to lend a little bit of sanity
to a not-so-sane set of dialogue.

Finally, there is Jake, played by
Wayne Knaub, who actually plays
a couple of different men in the
show. As Jake, he is Cynthia's ex-
boyfriend who becomes interest-
ed in Cleo as the play progresses.
He is the man who gets to say his
peace about women in order to
show that men are not bad guys,
just a little misunderstood.
— Arianne Zeck

While Rita and Cleo playfully battle over an article of clothing, Lurene
(Danielle Boileau) works to earn a paycheck at just one of her many jobs.

During his monologue, Jake (Wayne Knaub)
discusses the frustrations that come with dating in
the 1 990s - from the male perspective.

Although previously betrayed by men in her life,
Rita (Brooke Anderson) puts on a brave front and
tackles each day with strength and an unbelievable
sense of humor.

Cleo (Jody Jacobetz) and Cynthia (Kate Laepple)
make one of their frequent visits to Rita's kitchen,
where she entertains them with the thought
process of the "typical male."

Sister Hubert (Jody Jacobetz), Reverend Mother, and Sister
Amnesia present the cookbook, "Baking with the B.V.M
(Blessed Virgin Mother)."

A'JJ

Leo (Kate Wilson), and the others recount the tragic events
surrounding the vichyssoise.

Sister Robert Anne (Jessica Smith), the troublemaker of the
Order, shows Reverend Mother (Kelly Roth) her "Convent
Miranda Look."

The Sisters try to ignore the outrageous conversation between
Sister Mary Amnesia (Andrea Hendricks) and Sister Mary
Annette (Lori Moyer).

Nunsense

Leedy Theater Hosts the Little
Sisters ofHoboken

Uan Goggin's musical
comedy Nunsense reached
the L.V.C. stage this semes-
ter.

The play centers around
five nuns who are desper-
ately in need of raising
money to officially bury the
last four of the fifty-two sis-
ters who died after eating
Sister Julia Child of God's
Vichyssoise soup. It seems
that Reverend Mother,
played by the exceptional
Kelly Roth, used the rest of
the money they raised to
buy a VCR for the convent
instead of burying the re-
maining sisters.

Jody Jacobetz played Sis-
ter Mary Hubert, who
serves the Order as Mis-
tress of the Novices, train-
ing the recruits. Her phi-
losophy is to be gentle on
her Novices, yet firm. Jody
took the cake with her

spiritual revival.

Sister Robert Anne,
played by Jessica Smith,
was the child of a disadvan-
taged Brooklyn family. Her
devilish grin invites you to
explore the nunnery from
the "wild side."

Sister Mary Amnesia,
played by Andrea Hen-
dricks, has a tendency to
forget more than she re-
members after a crucifix
fell on her head. Her dy-
namic voice and back-
ground in dance became
apparent as she performed.

Finally, we have Sister
Mary Leo, played by Kate
Wilson, who has come
from an Illinois Farm to
"dedicate her life to God
through the dance."

Overall, the five talented
actresses provided an en-
tertaining evening.

Greek Week

Events Entertain Campus

'pening ceremonies for
Greek Week were held on
Sunday April 13. During
this week long event, the
Greek organizat ons com-
peted in numerous events.

The event filled week
was kicked off with a cook-
out followed by a God and
Goddess ceremony. Each
organization chose one of
their members to portray
their favorite God or God-
dess. The night was then
topped off with the events
of musical chairs, an egg
drop and a pie eating com-
petition, which were held
between the Hammond
and Keister dormitories.

Each day of the week was
packed full of events and
tough competition with
each organization hosting
an event of their own. Fol-
lowing the opening cere-
monies were events such as
tug-of-war, an obstacle
course, kickball, arm wres-
tling (women only), belch-
ing contest (women only), a
beauty contest (men only),
assassins, greasy watermel-
on contest, mud volleyball,
wheelbar

row race and the famous
gong show.

Even though only
Greeks participated in
these events, the entire stu-
dent body and faculty were
invited and encouraged to
attend and support the or-
ganizations. An event that
attracts a large portion of
the student body each year
is the gong show. "Even
though I am not Greek, a
lot of mv friends are and I
like to support them. I en-
joyed watching the gong
show. It is always good for
a few chuckles," said soph-
omore Matt Franks.

The week came to a
roaring end and closing
ceremonies were held on
Thursdav April 17. During
the ceremony, the final re-
sults were announced. Al-
pha Sigma Tau and Kappa
Sigma Kappa placed first.

It was a close competi-
tion throughout the whole
week. The competition was
real good and next year we
hope to win," said Dave
Schott, President of TKE.

Children's Day

Area Students Learn that
Education can be Fun

April 25 students
from the Annville-Cleona
School District were invit-
ed to the campus to experi-
ence a day dedicated speci-
fically to them. Children's
Day is quickly becoming a
well-loved tradition at
L.V.C. thanks to the plan-
ning and organization of
students like Audra and
Dan Palopoli. The junior
Elementary Education ma-
jors gathered together

classmates and volunteers,
who proceeded to plan
workshops and activities
that would entertain the
children all day.

Some of the workshops
included music and songs,
crafts, storytelling, games,
and a special performance
by the Rainbow Troupe.

The day's events taught
the children one particular
lesson - that learning is fun.

Seniors

1 his year, the senior class of Lebanon Valley College
accomplished many things. As individuals, each of them
excelled by meeting their own personal goals. In particu-
lar, the young men and women used their lifetime of
training to their advantage as they faced their final year
of undergraduate education. Many were student teach-
ers, who brought their knowledge and energy to the
students whose lives they touched. Some completed
internships which brought them more valuable educa-
tion that would prepare them for their future jobs, but,
collectively, they spent their final year at L.V.C. creating
memories and gaining experiences that will last them a
lifetime.

<§ijp>

Faculty

1 he Faculty, Administrators, and Staff Members at
Lebanon Valley can easily be compared to the coaches of
Olympic Athletes. Coaches provide encouragement and
expertise in their sport while also expecting strict disci-
pline and dedication from their athletes. Professors at
L.V.C. do the same. They spend every day, teaching not
only 'textbook education,' but also personal experien-
ces and philosophies. Over a four year span, professors
attempt to prepare each student for the future; there-
fore, they set high expectations that each student must
meet. Their goal is to transfer their knowledge to the
minds of others and their wish is that every student will
have learned how to teach themselves as well.
— Carrie L. M. Stull

The Presidential Inauguration of
Dr. G. David Pollick

Dr. Scott and the other members of the Quittapahilla Highlanders lead
the processional to Miller Chapel.

Faculty members, students, delegates, and community members, listen
attentively as the new president is inaugurated.

President Pollick makes
his inaugural address.

Senior Jason Henery

welcomes Dr. Pollick
on behalf of the
student body.

Throughout the Inaugural weekend, President
Pollick takes many opportunities to meet new
people.

Hundreds flock to LVC for Presidential Inauguration

flours of committee work, thou-
sands of dollars, tons of ideas, in-
tricate plans, and a great deal of
foresight went into the inaugura-
tion of Dr. G. David Pollick as the
16th President of Lebanon Valley
College. Pollick assumed the presi-
dency on July 1, 1 996 after serving
as the Co-Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Art Institute
of Chicago and The School of the
Art Institute of Chicago. But he
symbolically received the honor of
President during Friday's festivities
that kept the LVC campus rocking
well into the night.

The day began with the arrival of
the delegates from colleges and
learned societies such as Duke Uni-
versity, Franklin & Marshall Col-
lege, Harvard University, The Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, and many
other well respected institutions.
The delegates toured the campus,
including the newly remodeled and
recently completed Social Quad,
and then ate together in a luncheon
held in the West Dining Hall.

After the luncheon, less than 1 00
trustees, facultv members, and stu-
dents gathered in Lutz Hall for the
Academic Symposium "The World
as Campus." The Symposium was
called to order at 1:35 p.m. by Dr.
Gene Brown, Professor of Political
Science, moderator for the event.
Some of the topics discussed includ-
ed important international changes,
and the position of the United Sta-
tes as the superpower in the future.

The inaugural procession and

ceremony followed the symposium
at 4 p.m. in Miller Chapel. Preludes
on the organ were Cortege et Litanie,
Rhosymedre, and Festival Intrada.
The Quittapahilla Highlanders, a
Scottish bagpipe band, led the Pro-
cessional with The Green Hills of
Troll, When the Battle's O'er, Gaude-
amus Igitur, and Lord, Save Thy Peo-
ple.

The Invocation was performed
by Dr. D. Darrell Woomer. He ur-
ged God to help the president with
the tough decisions that would fol-
low the the positions. Also, he asked
that God help Pollick to keep an
open mind with minority students
and their needs - especially that of
freedom of expression.

The inaugural address was of-
fered by President Emeritus John
Synodinos. He was introduced by
Thomas Reinhart who said that this
is a unique experience to have a
new president ask his predecessor
to speak at the ceremony. "Those
of us who know John, questioned if
this was a wise move," he joked.

Synodinos expressed his happi-
ness with the choice of Pollick as his
successor. "Every time we talk, I eo
away knowing this institution is in
good hands." He also spoke of the
many challenges that will undoubt-
edly face the new president. Four
challenges in particular that small
colleges face are over filling their
capacity, affordabilitv, prospects
for federal and state funding, and
the costs and consequences of tech-
nology. Each of these things, Syno-
dinos felt, would cause Lebanon
Valley College problems in the fu-

ture in some way. There will be "no
shortage of challenges or opportun-
ities," but he feels that Pollick is the
leader that the college needs. Be-
cause of Pollick's journeys and ex-
periences, "You're well prepared,"
he said.

Dean William McGill echoed
Synodinos' feelings while delivering
a greeting to the president on be-
half of the faculty, administration,
and staff. The decision to have
Synodinos speak at the inaugura-
tion "says much about John, it says
much about David, and it says
much about Lebanon Valley Col-
lege."

Jason D. Henerv, President of
the Student Council, welcomed the
president by offering him chal-
lenges like, "leading our football
team to victory... and more pages in
our college newspaper." He asked
for a more involved campus com-
munity and a bridging of the gap
between faculty and students.

Following the Inauguration exer-
cises faculty, students, family mem-
bers and delegates moved to the
Lynch gym for the catered buffet
dinner that lasted until 8 o'clock.

From the dinner luminaries tra-
ced the pathways to Arnold field
for a concert from the band and
fireworks.

At 1 o'clock the day was ended
with the Pizza party with the Pol-
licks, sponsored by student council,
held in West Dining Hall. Students
enjoyed food, drinks, and music
with the new president.
— Wayne Knaub and
Anni Shockey

KJn behalf of the students of Lebanon Valley College, the 1997 Yearbook
Staff proudly dedicates this edition of the Quittapahilla in honor of Dr. G.
David Pollick, and wishes him much success and happiness at LVC.

Athletics

.No other group of people can better symbolize the
spirit of the Olympic Athletes. Each year thousands of
young men and women train and practice to make the
dream of athletic stardom come true for themselves and
their teams. They dedicate themselves to their sports
and wholeheartedly support their teammates. At Leba-
non Valley College, that tradition becomes stronger and
stronger each year. Players like Andy Panko and Chrissy
Henise spark new hope for the future of sports like
Men's Basketball and Softball, while seniors like Natalie
Baruka and Brian Blanford leave behind career suc-
cesses that will inspire new Volleyball, Football, and
Track and Field team members each year.

Dutchmen Suffer, But New Coach
Brings Hope for the 1997 Season

Head Coach |im Memos observes the team, in his
last year at the Dutchman helm.

1 lie 1996 Football Team
had one of their most disap-
pointing seasons this year with
a 1 -9 Overall Record and a 0-
6 MAC Record. The
Dutchmen's only win was the
last game of the season,
against the Delaware Valley
Team.

Sophomore offensive line-
man Jason Hotchkiss was the
only team member elected
Middle Atlantic First Team
All-Star. Junior Defensive
Lineman Edwin Heisev was
named to both the MAC Sec-
ond Team and the ECAC Sec-

ond Team.

Also, Sophomore tailback
Greg Kohler and Sophomore
punter Greg Steckbeck were
also named to the Middle At-
lantic Conference Second All-
Star Team.

In an interesting turn of
events, head coach Jim
Monos, who coached for the
past eleven years, was re-
placed at the conclusion of the
season bv David Murray.
Coach Murray previously
coached at SUNY Cortland
where he had led nationally
ranked teams.

Squad Works Hard to Improve the

Jason Lausch, Katoora Patches, and Lisa Brandt

season.

'unng the Football and
Basketball Cheerleading Sea-
sons, both squads worked
hard to improve the quality of
their routines and equipment.

At the bonfire that was held
for Homecoming Weekend,
the squad performed for the
other students. The dance
routine that was developed by
Jason Lausch was the first one
to be seen in at least three
years. The cheerleaders also
performed this dance at the
football games.

According to Lausch, "The
squad has improved overall

during the last few years be-
cause more dance routines are
being incorporated into the
performances."

Their stunting ability has
improved greatly as well. Dur-
ing the basketball season, one
of the high points was the suc-
cessful building of a two and a
half person pyramid.

Also, the squads carried out
a car wash and held a sub sale.
Both of these fund-raisers
brought in money that was
used to buy new and updated
equipment and uniform parts.

were the most ever in the 21

and their eight wins tied
1995's mark for most wins.

Senior Greg Glembocki al-
so broke several records. His
eleven goals and 27 total
points both broke team and
season records. He finished
off his career as a two time
MAC All-Star (1995 and
1 996) and the school's all time
leading scorer.

Tony Burke, a senior de

fender, also had a solid sea-
son. He started 76 straight
games during his tenure at
Lebanon Valley. Center mid-
fielder Jason Piazza and mid-
fielder Chris Kirchner also
made the MAC All-Star
squad.

Coach Mark Pulisic saw 9
different Dutchmen score at
least one goal and 13
Dutchmen have at least one
assist.

The defense was skillfully
anchored by Tony Burke,
Jaime Cascarino, Nate Hil-

A he 1997 Season started
out with high hopes for the
Dutchmen, but it ended with
unfilled dreams.

collected his 100th career Hit
in only his junior year.

Other Dutchmen highlights
included freshman Jaime
D'Angelo hitting for cycle in a
19-6 win over Misercordia.

The pitching staff was an-
chored by Chad Slabach. He
was joined in the rotation by
Doug Speelman, Fetterman,

Dave Staub, and Scott
Gehres. Len Oriel and Scott
Myers were the top relievers
for the Valley.

terman all batted over .300
for the season. The lone sen-
ior. Brent Shoemaker batted
.299.

Greenblotter

Greenblotter Celebrates Creativity

ne of the many goals of a
liberal arts education is to cul-
tivate an understanding and
appreciation of the literature
and art that is such a large part of
our society today. This is accom-
plished not only through our ed-
ucation, but through an individ-
ual effort as well. Greenblotter is
a direct result of that effort. It's
goal is to promote an awareness
of this side of our culture as well
as to support each member's cre-
ative endeavors.

Greenblotter meets regularly
to read, discuss, and criticize
original poems, short stories, and
artwork. Anybody is invited to
join, and he or she may simply
decide to just sit and observe.

This year Greenblotter dis

tributed its annual Spring Arts
Publication, which features vari-
ous creative works from its mem-
bers. This year, faculty members
added to the club. The profes-
sors joined the students in activi-
ties such as poetry and short sto-
ry readings which are given four
times each semester. All students
were invited to attend the read-
ings and watch presentations of
the original works.

Greenblotter also had a car
wash this year as part of its need
to raise funds. A portion of those
funds went to the Ronald Mc-
Donald House. Along with this
contribution went a poem, writ-
ten especially for the House, as a
collaborative effort by its mem-
bers.

Fate's hand

Tomorrows come, tomorrows pass.
And faithfully the seasons cross.
The never-ending hour glass
Starts filling with uncaring loss.

With Fate's strong hand that does not yield.
We fight for life and its power.
And though we act with mask and shield
The hand refuses to cower.

Ironically, we stop and see
Yesterday's mistakes invented.
And so, we all, with bending knee
Pray for our lives we have rented.

And so, my friend, keep this in mind;
The hour glass will fill with sand.
For, like a clock that can not wind,
Our lives slow down and take the Hand.

Phi Beta Lambda

PAi Zteta Lambda Expands Business
Horizons

A hi Beta Lambda is a national
co-ed business fraternity. The
reason that it is open to anyone
on this campus, according to Kris
Kelley, the president of the or-
ganization, is "because everyone
will probably come in contact
with business throughout the
course of their life." Phi Beta
Lambda does many things to
promote business awareness and
knowledge of the behind the
scenes activities of a business.

Some of the activities that Phi
Beta Lambda engages in are fun-
Braising and trips to businesses to
see what goes on. They also get
involved in workshops across the
state and compete in competi-
tions that relate to business ac

tivities. This year, some of the
things they planned were work-
shops at Alvernia College and
Bloomsburg University, a career
day, and a fundraiser to sell the
Entertainment Book which con-
tains discounts to area business-
es. Some social events included a
Halloween party.

The goal for the fall semester
was teamwork, according to Kel-
ley. "Every year, we try to ex-
pand to get out of our comfort
zone," says Kelley, "We try to
get more of the campus and
community involved in our ac-
tivities." To end the year, they
attended a state leadership con-
ference, held in Pittsburgh.

Juggling Club

Using Juggling to Teach and to Learn

A he juggling club is a new organ-
ization at LVC this year. Dr.
Chasen, who originally started the
club, has been juggling since col-
lege and has even used juggling for
demonstrations in his classes here at
LVC.

The club's first major event this
year was a visit to the 1 5th Annual
Jugglers Convention in Philadel-
phia, where students purchased
new equipment for themselves and
the club, and had the opportunity
to watch and learn from other jug-
glers in the area. They learned dif-
ferent techniques such as passing
clubs and juggling a variety of ob-
jects from rings to cigar boxes

Members of the juggling club
have been spotted around the Allen
Theater, providing entertainment

for those who find themselves wait-
ing in line outside. Also at the Allen
Theater was their biggest fundrais-
er of the year, "Mark Allen's
World of Magic."

The group's proudest achieve-
ment this year was passing their tal-
ent down to the next generation of
jugglers. They made numerous vis-
its to places including the Chil-
dren's School in Lebanon, Cub
Scout Pack 104 in Mastersonville,
and Northern Lebanon Jr. High
School, where they taught twenty-
seven seventh grade students the
basics of juggling within an hour.
According to Michael Kiesinger,
President of the Juggling Club,
"Young children learn how to jug-
gle very quickly and appreciate the
time we spend teaching them."
— David Kotschessa

Rainbow Troupe member Dave
Shapiro proves that juggling
entertains people of all ages, as he
performs at Children's Day.

During the year, the students and professors within the

in Zimmerman Recital Hall, or the Clarinet Choir and
Small Jazz Ensemble are performing during the Evening
of Woodwinds, audience members can be assured that
the performance they are attending will capture their
attention and satisfy their musical tastes. Through
performing at their individual recitals and with others in

The Alexander Technique

Relaxation Technique Workshop Offers Help for Musicians

L uesday, September 17, Martin Webster held an
hour long workshop on the Alexander Technique.
"The Alexander Technique is relearning to use our
bodies in the way they are really designed to work. We
try to use our joints and muscles in a free and support-
ive way," said Dr. Hannes Dietrich, a professor in the
Music Department, who coordinated the workshop.

Those who spend hours practicing a musical instru-
ment often complain about their stiff, sore muscles.
Dietrich asked Martin to come to LVC so students
could get a glimpse of what the technique is about, and
to see that there is a way to stay relaxed while playing.
It is not just for musicians, though, Dietrich stressed.
"It's for everybody. You can learn to sit, stand and
walk without fighting your own muscles."

Webster spent a large part of the workshop making
the students aware of their own bodies, and how they
move. To challenge the popular belief that our arm
movements use only three joints (shoulder, elbow, and
wrist), he asked each student to feel a partner's shoul-
der blade and collar bone while the partner moved his
or her arm. Many students were surprised to find that
when the arm is moving fully, much more than just the

arm joints are moving. Later, he talked about the;
spine. When he asked the workshop attendees to imag-
ine their spine as thick and supportive deep into their I
backs, many began slowly and unconsciously adjusting ,
their posture.

At the end of the workshop, Webster worked "hands I
on" with a few volunteers. For several moments, Web-
ster alternately placed his hands on the neck, upper l
back, and lower back of one volunteer, Alex Lang.
When he was finished, he asked Lang to walk around.
Astonished, Lang cried, "I've never used this little ef-
fort to walk in my life!" Later, Lang commented, "It's I
the most relaxed I've ever felt." When asked howl
Webster's hands changed how his body felt, he replied,
"It makes you think about your body and where things
should be, and the muscles just relax themselves."

Webster warned everyone, though. "This is not just i
about finding a position and holding it for the rest of]
your life. Then it would just be another way of being
stiff, really."

Dietrich was pleased at the turnout of twenty stu-
dents. "I plan on having him back in about a month,"
said Dietrich.

Choir's Third Year Brings
Togas and Rave Reviews

In the fall of 1994 the
Music Department faced
a problem. There were
too many students inter-
ested in being a member
of the Concert Choir. In
order to accomodate the
large numbers, the de-
partment created the
LVC College Choir
which was placed under
the direction of Mrs.
Victoria Rose. Although
the choir got off to a
rocky start in its first
year, it has made consid-
erable progress since in
three years time.

During; the fall semes-
ter, the members of the
choir, affectionately
known amongst them-
selves as the "Jaguars,"
began working on a new
project

with the LVC Symphony
Orchestra. Under the
direction of both Mrs.
Rose and Dr. Johannes
Dietrich, the choir re-
hearsed diligently for a
featured performance of
the comedic piece Oedi-
pus Tex. This composi-
tion, by P.D.Q. Bach
spoofs the ancient greek
dramatic tale of Oedipus
Rex. The choir members
assumed the role of the
greek chorus and were
costumed in togas.

Much to the pleasure
of Mrs. Rose and her
choir, the performance
received much positive
feedback from the audi-
ence, which in turn has
given the group new
confidence in their musi-
cal ability.

Band Proves that Education Reaches Outside the Classroom

A here are few things in this world
as unique as a marching band. It
requires coordination, athleticism,
lots of memorization, and most im-
portantly, musicianship. The only
thing that rivals the marching band
is the color guard and the twirlers.
Lucky for us, we have all three.

This season the marching band
did a space show. The show started
with the fanfare from Twentieth
Century Fox as a warm up. That
went into the trumpet solo from
Apollo 13, performed by Dave Doll.
Also, Sprack Zarathustra, more
commonly known as the theme to
2001: A Space Odyssey, was the next
piece which built up into the theme
from E.T.. Mars, from Hoist's The
Planets was the next song in the
show, followed by Canteena Band
from Star Wars: Return ofthejedi.
At this point the show got inter-

esting. The band split into two
groups for a little war. One group
played the theme to Star Trek and
the other group played the theme
to Star Wars. After the war was
over the band regrouped and then
ended the show with the theme to
Battlestar Galactica.

The band also performed at a
competition for local high schools.
The band did not compete, it was
just there to play while the judges
tallied up the scores and to show
people what they do here in the
Valley.

The people in marching band
had a variety of things that they
liked best about it. "It's a break
from everyday activity. No other
group in school, no sport or subject
will ever teach you what you can
earn here." said Michele Weber,

who was one of the drum majors in
the marching band. Kelly Sonon, a
twirler, said "It helped me as a
freshman to get to meet people."
Overall, the members enjoyed
marching band for the people and
that it was different than other
classes.

The marching band is student
run organization for the most part.
Dr. Hearson is the band director
but it is student run as far as staff
and teaching goes. This past year,
Dalinda Knauth was the marching
coordinator and she was in charge
of style. Joy Hoover and Liz Mases-
sa were the drill designers, Mere-
dith Price and Michele Weber the
drum majors, and percussion was
done by Mike Washkevich. Also,
Color guard was taught by Deena
Hixon and Rachel Rascoe.
— Dan Morneau

The color guard marches to the
field, flags in hand.

Band members like Samantha
Bolognese and Amy Schimpf
enjoy their time off of the field.

Music Recording Technology

Music Recording Students Learn Through Video Conferencing

A his year, some LVC students are
taking part in a special program
that allows them to take courses
from the University of Massachu-
setts. It's not a transfer or study
abroad program; in fact, the stu-
dents aren't leaving campus.

This is made possible by a new
video conferencing system located
in the Lynch Memorial Hall. Leba-
non Valley belongs to an organiza-
tion called Center for Agile Penn-
sylvania Education (CAPE), a local
organization that has agreed to con-
nect their campuses. Several dozen
colleges, universities and other in-
stitutions associated with CAPE are

able to link and exchange informa-
tion via a high speed modem con-
nection, and several phone lines be-
tween the remote locations.

For a classroom session, students
crowd into a small room equipped
with three screens, several cameras,
and special microphones placed at
every table. Students are connected
to the remote location, with two-
way audio and visual communica-
tion. Class proceeds as usual, except
that the professor is miles away.

"It feels different because the
professor is not actually in the
room," says Melissa Witchey, relat-
ing her experience in Music Busi-
ness I, one

of the classes that is using this tech-
nology. Although it does allow for
communication in both directions,
it is not quite as reliable as meeting
in person. Another student, Steve
Swope said, "You lose the one on
one interaction you normally
have," but as for the advantages,
"It's better than flying down to see
the professor."

The increased availability of re-
sources is what makes this tech-
nology valuable. The fact that this
technology exists is exciting
enough, but to be putting it to use is
promising for the future of educa-
tion at Lebanon Valley.

Greek Life

It all begins with "Meet the Greeks." Then there are
signs promoting socials and open smokers during the
fall, and after Christmas, students get invitations to
rushes for every fraternity and sorority. During the
following weeks, students witness some strange activities
that ever take place on campus, but these occurrences
happen every year. It is that phenomenon called pledg-
ing, and it brings every new member close to their fellow
pledges and their future sisters or brothers. The strong
heritage of each greek organization carries them success-
fully through each pledging season, and brings to them
new faces and minds that will continue to carry on the
torch of greek tradition year after year.

X here was a lot of singing, silence,
calling out of names, carrying of
strange objects, and keeping of se-
crets throughout the LVC campus
early in the spring semester. The
pledging season started and all the
fraternities and sororities began the
four week period in hopes of ad-
ding new members to their ranks.
Overall, rush went extremely well
for each Greek organization and
they were very hap-

py with their pledges.

Alpha Sigma Tau (AST) was the
first national sorority on campus.
They had nine pledges who were
taught the ideals AST deems im-
portant. "We influence the ethical,
social and cultural development of
the girls and encourage bonding
between the pledges," said former
president, Sharon Possessky.

Phi Lambda Sigma is a social fra-
ternity which had five prospective
members According to Pat

Loughney, everything went well
and PHILO had a lot of fun.

There are a few rules that the
college enforces over the Greek or-:
ganizations. "Students who desire
to pledge a fraternity of sorority
need to be full-time students with a
GPA of 2.0 in their last semester,
said Dean Yuhas.

Overall, pledging in 1997 proved
to be a positive experience for those
involved.

Jello Wrestling

Greek Council Jello Wrestling Draws Many Spectators

Slippery. ..very slippery," said
Chrissy Fritz about the 100 gallons of
cherry Jello that students rolled around
in during the Jello Wrestling event
sponsored by Greek Council during the
last week of September. The event was
held behind Vickroy Hall in a makeshift
wrestling ring of a clear plastic tarp and
padding that surrounded the edges.

Most of the wrestlers were fraternity
brothers or sorority sisters, but other
students could participate as well. An
audience of close to 100 students, facul-
ty, and community members gathered
to watch this phenomenon that was new
to the Valley. "Turnout was really
good," said Dave Newell who worked
as an organizer for the event as well as a
referee.

The first match pitted two TKE
brothers, Lee Madden and John Vito,
against one Gamma Sig sister, Chrissy
Fritz, in a tag-team bout. Fritz's white
shorts were soon red as Vito and Mad-
den tossed her throughout the ring.
Occasionally Fritz would gain the upper
hand, but soon afterwards she'd eat a
handful of Jello. The shocking climax
of the match happened later when Vito
attacked his own partner.

The second match featured a 6'5"
Rick Hopf of TKE against a well-under-
six-foot Sharon Possessky of Alpha Sig-
ma Tau. During the match, Possessky
yelled, "You're too tall. You're all arms
and legs boy!" Hopf dominated Round
1. During Round 2, Fritz hopped into
the ring to assist Possessky in her battle
with Goliath. However, the was not a
day for the "underdogs." Hopf con-
tinued to overpower them until the end
of the match.

Some frosh students decided to wres-
tle for the third match. The tag-team
combo of Kim Bard and Emily Fager
challenged Scott Bowman. When the
match began, Bard attacked her own
teammate. She and Bowman dragged
Fager through "the deep end" where a
lot of the Jello was. Then the match
became a free-for-all with no team
distinctions.

At this point, Ryan Bevitz began his
search for a competitor. He took off his

shirt, much to the dismay of the crowd,
and stood alone. His opponent would
arrive in a few minutes.

Meanwhile, the next match featured
Dave Schott of TKE against Megan
Miller and Liza Brandt of Alpha Sigma
Tau. Miller and Brandt brought Schott
to his knees within the first ten seconds
of the match, and before too long he
was on his back. The dynamic duo of
Miller and Brandt maintained camara-
derie throughout the match, unlike the
previous tag-team combination, and
controlled most of the battle. After-
wards Schott said, "It was a rough fight,
and my ultimate dream!"

Fager and Madden, the two victims
of unfaithful teammates, wrestled each
other in the fifth match.

Then Yvonne D'Uva and Erica
Schneck challenged their own sister,
Sharon Possessky, to a dual in the ring
of gelatin. Possessky tossed her sisters
around like yesterday's garbage, unlike
her previous match with Hopf. Pos-
sessky held one sister in each arm, and
then proclaimed, "I like this game!"

Towards the end of the match, Casey
Reed was walking by the festivities
when his brothers, of Kappa Sigma
Kappa, convinced him to wrestle Bev-
itz. Despite the weight difference of
Volvo station wagon and a Volkswagen
Bug, Bevitz agreed to the challenge.
Neither man was dressed for Jello wres-
tling - Bevitz wore blue jeans and Reed
wore denim shorts. The match began
and Reed pinned Bevitz in less than ten
seconds. While Reed laved on top of his
opponent, Bevitz flailed his arms and
could do nothing more than smear Jello
in the hair of Reed. Newell let the
match continue, and Reed pinned Bev-
itz three more times before Newell fi-
nally ended the slaughter. Alii
Brunetti of Clio challenged John Vito
in the next match. Brunetti and Vito
exchanged handfuls of Jello, but Vito
primarily had control until Brunetti's
Clio sister, Janell Cuddy, leaped into
the ring to assist her. The two women
gave Vito quite a fight.

The grand finale of the event pitted
Reed up against Possessky. Reed once

again had a weight advantage in his
favor as well as height, but Possessky
was a trooper. Then Fritz, Brunetti,
and Cuddy all entered the ring to assist
Possessky. The women didn't overpow-
er Reed, so Fritz jammed a handful of
Jello down his shorts.

There were plenty of mixed feelings
about rolling around in a pool of Jello,
but the predominant emotion was ex-
pressed by Fager, "It was freezing."
Fritz added, "It tasted really good"

Newell said, "I was pleased. We'll do
it next year early in the semester when
the sun is out and warmer." He also
added a thank you to Hallmark (Dining
Services) for preparing the Jello.

After the event, wrestlers, spectators,
and Newell tipped a dumpster and
pushed the ring and Jello into it.

New Sorority Sponsors Entertaining "Jail and Bail" Fundraiser

I hi Sigma Sigma is an interna-
tional sorority that was established
in 1913 at Hunter College in New
York. The Theta Tau Chapter of
Phi Sigma Sigma, here at Lebanon
Valley College, was just installed as
a chapter on November 23, 1996.

The opportunities that a Phi Sig-
ma Sigma sorority affiliation can of-
fer a woman are immeasurable.
The advancement of womanhood
through a close union of congenial
friends of great character is the ba-
sis of Phi Sigma Sigma member-
ship.

This year, on November 7, they
brought their "Jail and Bail" fun-
draiser outdoors to the gazebo in
order gain attention from the cam-
pus community. Mary Blankenmey-
er, chair of Phi Sigma Sigma's fun

draising committee, said she got the
idea for the fundraiser from her
high school, and it really seems to
generate a lot of student interest.

The Jail and Bail rules were such
that students, faculty and staff were
given the chance, during lunch and
dinner hours, to pay three dollars
to put "a criminal" in jail. Then it
was in the hands of the criminal to
beg spectators for pocket change
until they had raised five dollars,
enabling them to get out of the
gazebo jail before common hour
was over.

While some were able to raise
their bail in a matter of minutes,
other weren't as fortunate and re-
mained in the gazebo for almost the
whole time. Among those less for-
tunate were Coach Jim Monos,
Coach Matt Kujovsky and Coach

Mike Susi of the football team, and
Coach Kathleen Tierney of the
field hockey team.. Their athletes
seemed to enjoy watching them
plead for every spare penny they
could get, and basked in the re-
venge of refusing them money to
get out. One of the other familiar
faces that could be found in the
gazebo jail was Assistant Dean,
Dave Newell.

Meghan Toppin said she was
pleased with the response and stu-
dent participation of Jail and Bail.
Involving as many students as possi-
ble while having a good time was
one of the goals of the fundraiser.
Erin Buffington said they picked
this event because, "It involves the
whole student body as well as facul-
ty members and coaches."

Graduation

Imagine spending year after year working toward a
goal, and think about the committment and dedication
that is required in order to meet that goal. For four
years, at Lebanon Valley College, the members of the
Class of 1 997 faithfully trained and worked to be able to
reach receive their ultimate reward - a college diploma.
They attended classes, completed papers and exams,
and read an endless number of pages - all because of
their dream to graduate from college. On May 10.
1997, that dream came true for each of those students.
The cold and blustery weather became distant as the
graduates, their families, friends, and professors basked
in the successes and triumphs of the entire class.

"The torch is gone, but we are the light." No other
words could better capture the vivacious energy that
continues to fuel Lebanon Valley College year after
year. When reflecting upon the events, situations, and
successes of this past academic year, it becomes obvious
that the LVC community has a light full of hope and
spirit that continues to burn stronger and stronger every
day. That light encourages each student to work hard to
meet their goals. It inspires each professor to enlighten
his or her students with facts, opinions, and ideas. And,
it creates a positive environment where everyone can
learn from one another, while making valuable mem-
ories and relationships that will last a lifetime.

The Torch Is Gone

But We Are the Light

LVC

To Thee, dear Alma Mater

This ringing song we raise,

A song that's fraught with gladness,

A song that's filled with praise,

We cannot help but love Thee,

Our hearts are full and free,

Full well we know the debt we owe,

To dear old LVC.

We come from old New Hampshire,

Where winter breezes blow,

And from the sunny Southland,

Where sweet magnolias grow,

We've sung "Star Spangled Banner,"

To "Dixie" given a cheer,

And now we raise this song of praise,

To Alma Mater dear.

Put forth your strongest might,

And let our Alma Mater

Win each and every fight,

Lift high its royal banner,

And keep its honor clear,

And let our song with voices strong

Ring down thro' many a year.
