From the Editor

The focus of this issue is the LVC campus and the leadership in evidence
here: exciting new programs a new conference center, refurbished dorms,
a new student-developed non-alcoholic pub, and of course, the continuing
distinguished achievements of our faculty reported in Campus Update. An
account by Fulbright Lecturer Art Ford of his experiences in Damascus
points up the sharp contrast between LVC and a mideastern university and
makes us grateful for our fine equipment and facilities. All of this is neatly
sandwiched in between two features about what is old and venerable: LVC's
rare and exotic trees described so beautifully by Susan Verhoek, and a
photo quiz that challenges alumni and campus visitors to recognize some
familiar sites.

The campus has had special meaning for Bob Unger. director of alumni ser-
vices and alumni editor of The Valley, and in this issue he reluctantly says
goodbye. We wish Bob, Beth and lames much happiness and success in
their new environment.

From the Alumni Editor

On December 31. Beth and James and I will be moving to Atlanta. Georgia.
I feel blessed to have been at home, here at LVC. for the past three years—
to reflect daily on that earlier time in my life when so much came to be. It is
a reunion 1 wish every graduate of the College could experience. But. most
importantly, I now know Lebanon Valley College is not just memories. LVC.
today, is a relevant, vital and exciting place where what is yet to be is still
about to happen. It is an Alma Mater to which we can be proud to bear
allegiance, and it is one for which we must do all we can. Let us support
Lebanon Valley College, because in so doing we support something in us
that is good.

Until another Homecoming.

Campus Trees:
A Living Art Gallery

By Susan Verhoek

Art galleries shelter great art, but to
see great trees one must go outdoors.
Over a period of many years the
Lebanon Valley College campus grounds
have been made into a viewing gallery
for specimen trees from widespread
parts of the world. As one strolls around
the main campus, one is provided with a
glimpse of more than thirty genera of
trees. Many of these are familiar to most
of us— the cluster of white and pink
dogwoods near the Administration

Goldenrain {Knelreutena paniculata]

Building, the big white pine between the
Ad Building and Blair Music Center, and
the ash in the quad— but some are more
exotic and provide a visual impact that
demands closer inspection.

First, there are the golden twins— the
goldenrain and goldenchain trees. The
two goldenrain trees (Koelreuteria

pankulata) are in the quad in front of the
Allan W. Mund College Center and
Vickroy Hall. In summer they bear large
bunches of small yellow flowers, which
by fall have become drooping papery
brown fruits resembling Chinese
lanterns.

The goldenchain trees (laburnum) are in
pairs, planted recently just opposite the
campus-side doors of Blair Music Center
and in front of the Administration
Building. These are native to southern
Europe and western Asia, and are
characterized by very showy pendant
bunches of clear yellow, pea-like flowers

Goldenchain {laburnum]

Chinese temple gardens have provided
the world with two trees now also on the
campus, the dawn redwood (Metasequoia
gluptostwsboides) and the ginkgo [Ginkgo
biloba). The dawn redwood was first

known to most of the world only from
ancient fossils of its branchlets, but at
one time it had been the most abundant
cone-bearing tree in western North
America. There was great excitement
when a living tree was found in 1944 in a
temple grounds. In 1948. an expedition
went down the Yangtze and over several
mountain ranges to a forest of approx-
imately 1,000 specimens. Then, largely
through the efforts of a professor at Har-
vard's Arnold Arboretum, seeds were
distributed to parks and colleges around
the world. Now a majestic specimen
stands at the north end of Vickroy Hall. It
is a cone-bearing tree, but it loses its
small flattened leaves each year.

Dawn Redwood [Metasequoia glyptostroboides]

The ginkgo is more common, but
unknown in the wild, except perhaps in a
limited range in Anhwei province in

China. It is often found in the forest
preserves surrounding Chinese and
Japanese temple grounds. Once
widespread around the northern
hemisphere, it is the last living represen-
tative of a whole group of its relations. It
was discovered by the West when
Engelbert Kaempfer, surgeon for the
Dutch East India Company, saw it in
lapan in 1692. The Dutch were growing
the tree at Utrecht by 1737. and it was
planted at "Woodlands" near
Philadelphia by 1784. The trees, male
and female, have broad fan-shaped
leaves which turn golden yellow in the
autumn. Like their distant relatives the
yews, these trees produce seeds directly
without benefit of flowers or cones. The
seeds have an odorous fleshy layer and
drop with or after the leaves. Inside is a
sweet kernel which is roasted and eaten
by the Chinese, who call it the "silver
apricot."'

United States as a whole; the genus is
apparently old enough to have outlived
most of its pests, and the trees withstand
modern urban pollution.

Ginkgo [Ginkgo biloba)

The ginkgos at LVC. a young one in
front of the Allan W. Mund College
Center and a male and female pair along
the College Avenue sidewalk in front of
Carnegie, are a valuable example of
primitive trees and seeds. Similar trees
are becoming landscape favorites in the

"Trifoliate Orange" [Ponarus trifoliate)

Another exotic species on campus is
the "trifoliate orange" [Ponarus trifoliata).
The species was imported from China
and lapan into the United States about
1850. Our campus tree was donated in
1934 by the family of Hilda F. Buckley of
Allentown and planted in the southwest
corner of Carnegie by Earl Hoover and
George V. Derickson. There, it still holds
forth each spring with two-inch broad
white flowers which precede the three-
fingered leaves on its spiny branches. By
the end of summer the flowers have
matured into small orange-like fruits.
They are yellow, fuzzy and fragrant. Cut
open, they look much like small
grapefruits, but they are inedible
because some of the juice is replaced by
a bitter oil.

Not all of the trees on campus are from
foreign lands. The campus tuliptrees
[Uriodendron tulipifera) are native American;
Governor Dick Hill is crowned by a stand
of tall specimens. In the forest the tulip-
tree grows very straight tall trunks,
devoid of branches for most of their
lengths. One of the trees on the campus.

found near the flag pole, has retained its
lower branches, so it is possible to see
the broad lobed leaves and, in lune, the
"tulips." The petals are greenish on the
outside, but in the heart of the flower
each petal has a yellow-edged orange
spot at its base.

Tuliptree | Uriodendron tulipifera

Historically the tuliptrees have had
several distinctions. One is that its long
straight branchless trunks were favorites
for log cabin building. The other is that it
is one of the few New World trees that
was chosen for import into European
gardens when it became the fashion to
build manor houses surrounded by
parks.

Here at the Valley, planners and
planters have created a park-like setting
on the campus. In doing so. they have
also carefully chosen specimen trees that
will enhance the teaching of botany
courses for years to come and will pro-
vide a quiet moment of appreciation for
those who will just look upwards.

Dr. Susan Verhoek, a professor of
biology at Lebanon Valley College,
was recently elected president of the
Society of Economic Botany, an inter-
national group devoted to studying
the human uses of plants.

&-%&^*

Note: Dr. Arthur Ford, chairman of the English Depart-
ment at Lebanon Valley College, taught last year at the
University of Damascus as a Fulbright lecturer in
American Literature.

I never taught before in a cavern. That was my first thought
as I entered the auditorium in which i would soon be lecturing
on American Literature. Before long, the hall filled, and I
looked out at 400 or so Syrian students, staring at this curious
American.

At Lebanon Valley I teach in a small room with twenty or so
students. Here at Damascus University, everything multiplied
many times. Clearly, this would take some getting used to.
The auditorium fanned out and up from the long desk before
me. A long dirty chalkboard filled the wall behind me. Along
both side walls and the back wall were plastered pictures of
President Assad, giving new meaning to the word ubiquitous.

As I was getting ready to start, one of the students came up,
unlocked a small cabinet and took out an old iron gooseneck
microphone on a small stand and put it before me. Now I
began.

"Hello. My name is, etc." No one looked at me. Incredibly,
they were writing down every word. I warmed to the occasion.
First. I read to them Crevecoeur's famous passage from
"What is an American?" I thought to say, "And you're looking
at one," but decided to postpone levity. Then I launched into
a lecture on Puritanism. "There are five basic characteristics of
Puritanism," 1 said. So and so and so and so.

When 1 finished the lecture, I reviewed my main points. "And
the five basic characteristics of Puritanism are ..." At which
point all the students chanted them aloud with me.

That was my first lecture, delivered one month and a half
after school was supposed to begin. In many ways it was
typical of the year.

I found the Syrian students both eager and generally un-
comprehending. They continued to write down every word I
said, literally, but I never got the feeling that many understood
me. Often one or more would come up after the lecture, show
me a page of my words with one hole in the middle, and ask.

The Valley 5

Temporarily Transplanted continued

"What was that word?" I rarely knew. They also came up after
the lecture and pinned me to the wall with questions, follow-
ing me out of the building and down the street.

In addition to my two undergraduate courses, I taught a
graduate course in nineteenth century American literature to
just eight students. Their English was much better, a few in
fact quite capable of doing graduate work in the States. But
even here the frustration came through. One of my students
told me she came through the English major at Damascus
University and never got any feedback at all from her instruc-
tors. 1 then told her how our students wrote all the time and
got constant help from their teachers. "That's not fair."' she
said. I agreed.

Even in my short stay at the university I could see the prob-
lem. Syria is a poor country that puts over half its resources
into the military. They lack the oil that has made countries like
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait wealthy. Syria is also a socialist
country, which means that all people have a right to a free col-
lege education.

This means that the university can have its 80,000 students
(7000 English majors! but that it must get along with a
relatively few faculty members and inadequate facilities.
Whereas the faculty-student ratio at Lebanon Valley is 1 1-1, at
Damascus University it's more like 500-1. Hence, my huge
classes, which were not untypical; and hence the poor educa-
tional experience.

Since the classes are so large, the instructor cannot give
many writing assignments. He simply does not have the time
to grade those huge numbers. Besides, the pay is so low that
he probably has one or two other jobs. Consequently, the
grade for the course is based on one examination at the end
of the year, an examination which takes a month or more to
grade. I understood the problem when I finished grading
1,487 essay exams during May and June.

Despite all these problems, however. I finished the year with
some sense of accomplishment. The PA system rarely
worked, but I developed a strong lecture voice, often ending
the two-hour lecture shouting at the top of my lungs. The
unheated auditorium was at times so cold the students had to
write wearing gloves, but at least they did not fall asleep.
Then, too, birds occasionally flew around my lecture hall, so 1
made appropriate jokes about visual aids for my lecture on
Thoreau.

And the bureaucracy was infuriating, especially that
associated with the military dictatorship. 1 lost several lecture
times because one group or another decided to use my room
for a political rally. At other times the university simply closed
down to show some sort of support for the president. This
was after all an election year in which Assad, the only can-
didate, received 99.97% of the vote.

Then there were the usual bureaucratic foul-ups. At one
point 1 entered my auditorium to find two complete classes

The Valley 6

on the verge of armed combat. Because massive make-up ex-
ams had been scheduled for my auditorium, my class, on
their own initiative, had taken over one of the other
auditoriums. Furthermore, my students reasoned that since
they were third-year students and the others were only first-
year students we should be the ones to use the auditorium.
They actually begged me to throw out the other group before
their instructor arrived. I did.

At another point I had to come up with a new time for my
lecture, so I took a vote among the class to see which time
most preferred. As with most voting blocs, they split right
down the middle. Chaos occurred as each side tried to con-
vince me to agree with them. In the midst of this confusion,
one female student in the front row called me over and told
me quietly, "Sir, this is not America. You tell us when to come
and we'll be here." I summoned up all my determination and
told them 1 would check with the department chairman.

Somehow, the year progressed, I even fell into something of
a routine, sporadically interrupted with political celebrations,
including hours of intense but random gunfire. As we moved
toward May, 1 began to have serious apprehensions about
those 1,487 final examinations. How could 1 possibly grade
them? How could I keep my sanity? When I discovered,
however, that 1 could not get permission to leave the country
for America until they were finished, 1 was suddenly
motivated.

For one solid month 1 graded papers, six to eight hours a
day. Before I had gotten too far into them, however, 1 began to
experience deja vu. 1 had heard all this before. In fact, I heard
the exact words in the previous paper, and in the one before
that, ad infinitum. I considered the possibility of cheating and
then I realized that these were my words, exactly

I knew that many of them wrote down every word 1 said, but
I never suspected that they— and others— would actually
memorize those words. In fact, someone had transcribed my
lectures from tapes and published them as small booklets.
These were everywhere, and they were memorized— errors,
misspellings, and all.

Finally, the papers were finished, and we prepared to leave
Damascus. I would never see my students again and the pros-
pect saddened me. They were the most enthusiastic, eager,
and considerate students I had ever met. Their insistence on
memorization infuriated me. They would rather do that than
think, it seemed to me. But then I remembered that they are
the product of a society that prefers memorization to think-
ing.

They often talked with me of America. They all wanted to
come here and they discussed elaborate schemes to con-
vince the American consulate to give them a visa. America
was their land of opportunity, the golden land of golden
dreams. I was sad to be leaving them, but I was happy to be
coming to this land.

Conference Center

It's LVC trivja time.

Q. Which campus building has been
the home of a chemistry class-
room, an electronic piano
laboratory, the registrar's office,
the continuing education and
special programs offices, and is
now the home of the Leadership
Development seminars?

A. The Fencil Conference Center, of
course!

If "nice guy" awards could be given to
buildings, LVC would give one to the Fen-
cil Conference Center. Located at the
corner of North White Oak and Church
Streets, the two-story building has played
an important role in the metamorphosis
of the campus since the early 70s.

The College purchased the building in
1972 from the Zion Evangelical Con-
gregational Church, which is now located
south of the Annville-Cleona High
School. The church had used the
building as an educational' and social
hall.

In honor of more than forty years of
service to the College, the building was
dedicated to Gladys M. Fencil '21. Fencil.
who had just completed her degree in
modern languages, began her tenure at
the College right after graduation when
she took a position as secretary to
registrar Dr. S. O. Grimm.

"With her phenomenal memory, she
has become a treasure-house of informa-
tion about the curriculum, college
finances, students, and alumni. Her wise
judgement has made her a safe
counselor for faculty members in search
of guidance. Competent but unassuming,
she has become one of the College's
most loved and revered institutions. Ask
Gladys' is, as it were, a referral to the
Supreme Court." (p 171. Lebanon Valley
College: A Centennial History)

In succeeding years, Fencil served the
College not only as secretary in the
registrar's office but also as ad-

ministrative assistant, admissions direc-
tor, assistant registrar and registrar
before her retirement from LVC in 1965.
In light of the many ways Fencil has
served LVC, dedication of the building to

her seems to be a most appropriate
"Thank You."

Minimal structural changes of the in-
terior helped accommodate the Col-
lege's changing needs from 1972 to
1985. During the construction of the Blair
Music Center, the top floor of Fencil was
used as the music department's elec-
tronic piano laboratory, with twenty-four
pianos in place for student use. The
piano lab remained there until
November of 1974 when the lab was
moved to its permanent home in the new
Blair Music Center.

While Garber Science Center was be-
ing built, the lower level was the home of
a chemistry classroom.

"The basement of Fencil was a good
place for an additional chemistry
classroom and a place to keep in-
struments." says Dr. Owen Moe, associate
professor of chemistry, "because the
building temperature could be regulated
very well"

Additional chemistry and biology
facilities were next door in the factory
that now houses LVCs maintenance
department. The chemistry room re-
mained in the Fencil basement from
1975 until the Garber Science Center was
completed in 1983.

The registrar's office, previously head-
ed by Dr. Ralph Shay, holds the record
for the longest stay in Fencil. The office
moved into Fencil during Christmas
break in 1975, and remained there until
the summer of 1984, when the office,
under the guidance of LVCs newly ap-
pointed registrar. Bruce Correll. moved
to a new home in the administration
building

The Fencil basement also housed the
office of continuing education from 1980
to February 1985. Dr. Shay, who retired
in February of 1984, remembers Fencil
as a place quite suitable for maintaining
the ever-expanding student records.

In October of 1984, the office of
special programs, headed by Dr. Howard

The Valley 9

The Corner of continued

L. Applegate. current dean of continuing
education and vice president for special
programs, moved into Fencil on the main
floor. The special programs office, which
conducts various non-credit programs
for businesses, churches and civic
groups, remained in Fencil until suitable
space in the Administration Building
made it possible for both offices to move
there in the spring of 1985.
Before the office programs moved.

however, a most important LVC "develop-
ment" took place. Ideas, dreams and
plans were put on paper for the College's
newest program, the Leadership
Development Institute, a series of lec-
tures and exercises that would help pro-
fessionals enhance their leadership skills.
During the planning stages. Applegate
realized that a program of this
magnitude would require suitable space
for the various seminar exercises. The

Fencil Building was just the answer and
the building was rededicated "The Fencil
Conference Center" in April of 1985. The
building is now LVC's home for campus
meetings and many area business con-
ferences, and the permanent site of the
College's popular leadership develop-
ment programs for middle managers.

of communications at Lebanon Valley
College.

Leadership Development Institute

"It would be unwise to
assume that the qualities
of leadership cannot be im-
proved by teaching."

— President
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Lebanon Valley College President Art
Peterson agrees.

In response to an increasing demand
for leaders in our world, President Peter-
son pulled together several fellow staff
members after he arrived at LVC to see
just what they thought of the idea of
teaching leadership.

The group, consisting of Howard Ap-
plegate, vice president for special pro-
grams; Kip Bollinger, assistant professor
of education and current director of the
leadership programs; Robert Davidon,
professor emeritus of psychology:
Carolyn Hanes, associate professor of
sociology; Dave Lasky, chairman of the
psychology department; lean Love, pro-
fessor emerita of psychology; Warren
Thompson, chairman of the philosophy
department; and Peter Randrup, former
assistant professor of management, met
several times throughout the spring '84
semester.

During discussions and brainstorming.

it became clear that the group had really
outlined one program involving four
groups: high school students, college
freshmen, middle managers, and top-
level executives. The program for middle-
managers was picked as the pilot project.

A comprehensive five-day program
was designed to enhance participants'
leadership skills through a variety of
discussions and role-playing exercises.
The comprehensive program begins with
a review of the characteristics of a leader
and various leadership styles, leading to
discussion of motivation, problem solv-
ing, ethical issues and utilizing group
resources. Discussions are led by LVC
staff members and regional corporate
executives.

The idea looked great on paper, but
the committee decided that before "go-
ing public," several test runs were in
order. Using critiques of strengths and
weaknesses from LVC colleagues, a final
plan was put together and the first "real"
leadership seminar was scheduled for
May 1985.

Only one last item had to be decided.
The intensive program really required a
place where instructors and participants
could meet daily to work, socialize and
dine — since the week-long seminar
would include lunch and dinner.

"What we needed," says Kip Bollinger,
director of leadership programs, "was a
functional, attractive facility out of the
campus mainstream to accommodate up
to thirty participants in each session."

The perfect place for the leadership
program turned out to be the space in
the Fencil Conference Center. Plans were
rolling, the first group of participants was
selected, and the date was set for LVC's
first Leadership Development Con-

ference: May 25, 1985.

Only one problem. Since the LD1
seminar was the first conference to be
held in Fencil, it meant that some renova-
tion was required quickly to accom-
modate the various activities planned for
the leadership program.

In just three short weeks, David
Michaels, director of food and con-
ference services and his staff, with the
help of the maintenance crew, turned
Fencil into an attractive, and accom-
modating, facility for the various leader-
ship activities. The kitchen, which hadn't
been used since the College purchased
the building from the Zion Evangelical
Congregational Church, was reestab-
lished, and outlets for future audio-visual
equipment installed. New paint,
draperies and carpeting added the
finishing touches. Voila! The Fencil Con-
ference Center, new home of the leader-
ship development programs.

Yet in its first year, the successful LDI
program is still being polished— by the
participants. The special programs office
receives letters of praise and suggestions
for what has become a very popular
program.

"Fencil really suits our needs;" says
Bollinger, "it's quite useful for the large
and small group activities, and a pleasant
environment for other professional
meetings and conferences."

The Fencil Conference Center, "nice
guy" on campus, has a permanent resi-
dent at last.

Get 'PrincelyTransformation

By Jody Rathgeb

Once upon a time, there was a col-
lege campus where the dormitories
had a fairy godmother. Each year, the
fairy godmother would choose one of
the dorms and transform it into a
beautiful prince or princess.
Everybody thought this was a
wonderful idea, so they all lived hap-
pily ever after.

At Lebanon Valley college, this is
not a fairy tale. Each year, the LVC .
Auxiliary— actually, a group of "fairy
godmothers— raises money to be
used for the comfort of the resident
students and the creation of a home-
like environment for them. In the past,
for example, the Auxiliary has bought
carpeting and draperies for some of
the women's dormitories. This year,
two of the men's dorms received the
touch of the magic wand when the
Auxiliary decided to renovate lounges

Connie Peterson and lune Herr in Keister lounge

in Keister and Hammond halls.

"The project was really needed.''
says lune Herr. associate professor
emerita and. with Connie Peterson,
co-president of the LVC Auxiliary.
"There was virtually no furniture in
those lounges."

The Keister-Hammond project had
been included for several years on the
list of possible projects that Delia
Neidig, director of housekeeping,
would prepare for the Auxiliary. Each
year, however, it had been rejected as
a project because the cost was too
high

Because of the need, it was on the
list again in the spring of 1985. "What
we finally decided was that we would
offer a substantial sum toward the
project if the College would match the
sum," explains Herr.

The College more than matched the
Auxiliary's $4,000 contribution, and
by lune renovation of the Keister and
Hammond lounges was under way.

The combined "grant" provided new
carpeting, fireplace screens, poured
flooring in areas of heavy traffic, some
wood refinishing and upholstered fur-
niture in heavy "wood crate" frames.
Decorating schemes revolved around
masculine earth tones, with color ac-
cents of rust in Keister and blue in
Hammond.

The transformation was indeed
comparable to that of a toad turned
prince. "The students like the new
look, and Mrs. Neidig's housekeeping
staff is thrilled with it," says Herr. "And
we believe that the students are show-
ing pride and respect for their
lounges. They're taking care of the fur-
niture because it's so home-like."

And they all lived happily ever after.

tor of communications at Lebanon
Valley College.

"Look Mom, we did it ourselves!19

By M. A. Welster

The most recent campus renovation can't be seen from
any parking lot and it isn't several stories high. You might not
even find it unless someone points you in the right direction.
It's the new student non-alcoholic pub called The
Underground'' and it's on the lower level of the Allan W
Mund College Center.

Since its opening last February. The Underground or "the
pub," has become the place to be on Friday and Saturday
nights for students who need a break from studying.

Non-alcoholic pubs run by students have risen in populari-
ty in the last few years, partly in response to the growing na-
tional concern about drinking on campus, and as an alter-
native to other traditional campus activities.

The idea was presented to student leaders during the
spring of 1984 by director of student activities Cheryl Riehl
Weichsel, also the club advisor. Once students expressed a
sincere interest in having a student-run pub, dean of
students George Marquette challenged them to put
together the entire plan of how they would first renovate the
existing space, and then continue to maintain the facility
physically and financially afterward

The original steering committee, including Alpha Phi
Omega (APO). Business Club. Kappa Lambda Nu (CLIO).
Class of '87. Delta Lambda Sigma (Delphians). Phi Lambda
Sigma (PHILO), Gamma Sigma Sigma. Knights of the Valley.
KALQ Kappa Lambda Sigma and Wig and Buckle, had to
work with a few restrictions.

The room, previously used as a college center all-purpose
activities room, needed a bit of a facelift to be transformed
into a pub on Fridays and Saturdays. Because the room
might still be needed for a variety of College functions, the
furniture had to remain mobile to allow the space to be easi-
ly redesigned should an event require it. The students
themselves would need to fund, and do, all of the renova-
tion, ceiling to floor.

Students were also responsible for staffing all functions. A
plan was devised where clubs would "sponsor" entertain-
ment on a chosen weekend, and a master schedule of spon-
sors was set up for the semester. The sponsoring group
would supply students to work during the evening and
would be assisted by a member of the steering committee
and a college center desk employee in case of special last

The Valley 14

minute needs or emergencies.

Finally the long-awaited answer came. The president's staff
approved the plans and the opening day was scheduled for
early February. 1985. Now the work could really begin!

Students returned to campus early for spring semester,
and a crew of more than forty students began the renova-
tions. Walls were painted blue and raspberry. Tables were
built, chairs stained, a dance floor built, and carpet laid.
Track lighting was installed, swag lamps were hung above
tables, and a mirrored half-wall was added behind the bar.

Part of the bar was donated by Diane Iglesias, associate
professor of Spanish and department chairman, and her
husband, Dr. John Heffner. professor of philosophy. This was
expanded to triple its length and modified slightly, then put
in place adjacent to the dance floor.

"The carpeting finally arrived the night before opening
day," said Glenn Bootay '87, current president of Knights of

v i ' '7 -v

the Valley and member of the original steering committee,
"and it had to be put in immediately. We just couldn't open
without the carpeting"

Throughout the renovation. LVC's buildings & grounds and
maintenance department employees were on hand to ad-
vise students on the tougher problems.

President Art Peterson is quite pleased with the results.

"This is a perfect example of student leadership." said
President Peterson recently, "that has had a significant im-
pact on campus life. It is proof that working together leads
to a better campus community."

Fellow administrators are pleased as well.

"The Underground was the perfect place for the alumni
weekend dance," said Bob Unger, director of alumni ser-
vices. Our current students and alumni really enjoyed get-
ting together in the new pub."

The development office is using The Underground as the
1985 phonathon headquarters.

Less than a year old, The Underground is the place to go
on Friday and Saturday nights. Financial support continues
to come from Student Council, cover charges and from
events sponsored by various campus groups. Weekend
themes range from "boxer shorts night" to some pretty
creative ideas.

"This week we're having TMI Meltdown," said Sue Walter,
current president of the Underground Steering Committee.
"Anyone wearing clothes that glow in the dark gets in at a
reduced rate."

Nominations Open for
Presidential Leadership Awards

Last year, when LVC announced the new Presidential
Leadership Awards, the call for nominations garnered
responses from 2 50 high school students; of those ap-
plicants, eighteen student leaders were selected to receive
the scholarships of $5000 per year.

Due to this excellent response, and to LVC's growing com-
mitment to building leaders, the college has increased the
number of leadership scholarships available in 1 986 to thir-
ty. Nominations for these 1986 awards are now open, and
can be sent to Bill Brown, associate dean of admissions
(717-867-6183). LVC alumni— as well as school guidance
counselors and the students themselves— are encouraged to
nominate those who meet the award qualifications.

To be eligible, students must rank in the top forty percent
of their graduating classes or have earned Scholastic Ap-
titude Test scores of 1,000 or higher. In addition, they must
have demonstrated leadership achievement in both high
school activities and community organizations, and have ex-
hibited a commitment to accepting campus leadership
roles.

The amount of each award is $5000, renewable annually
In order to maintain the award over four years, each appli-
cant must reside on campus, maintain a cumulative grade
point average of at least 2.75, demonstrate good campus
citizenship, serve on the Presidential Leadership Advisory
Committee, and participate in two or more campus
activities.

Winners of the 1985 Presidential Leadership Awards, cur-
rently pursuing their studies on campus, are the following:
David D. Andrews, of Churchville, PA; G. Scott Carter, of
York. PA; Helen A. Filippone. of Kenilworth. N|; Todd L. Grill,

years.
