Off to See the Orient
From the President
Bugs Bunnv, that popular cartoon character
of yesteryear was famous for the quotation
"'What's up Doc?"' When I answer that
querry lately, I am happy to say that much is
new at LVC this year: more than a quarter of a
million dollars worth of new computers for
student and administrative use; the addition
of more than eighty acres to our campus;
newly refurbished dormitories; new faculty
and staff; and of course a great new class of
superior students.
Equally important is the new spirit of en-
thusiasm and excitement borne of the pride
over past accomplishments of distinguished
alumni, the promise of recent graduates and
current students and the overwhelming ap-
proval of academic innovations and upgraded
co-curricular programs, including LVC's in-
tercollegiate athletics.
This new "esprit de corps" produced a
magnificent setting for our Homecoming
events on October V, 18 and 19. Throughout
the fun-filled Saturday "Campus Carnival,"
the hard-fought afternoon football game and
the inspiring interdenominational church ser-
vice on Sunday, LVC alumni, students,
parents, faculty, staff and friends joined their
hearts and voices in a way that was
marvelous to behold.
This new "esprit de corps," so clearly pre-
sent during Homecoming, is but further
evidence that our beloved College is moving
onward and upward in every way to better
serve our mission as an educational institu-
tion and as a community resource.
If you have not yet reviewed the 1985-86
President's Annual Report of Lebanon Vallev
College, I hope that vou will take a few
moments soon to do so. This report of the
1985-86 academic year will arm you with ad-
ditional, persuasive data through which you
can encourage promising students to
matriculate at our fine institution. Addi-
tionally, I hope the report will strengthen
vour resolve to continue to support the Col-
lege financially to the extent that you are able.
Time passes so rapidly. It seems as if the
school year has just begun and already the
holidavs approach. Connie and I join the en-
tire Lebanon Vallev7 College family in wishing
you a happv, healthv and prosperous New
\ear.
Sincerely,
Arthur L. Peterson

Wedding Memories
the September wedding of an LVC graduate takes Glenn
and Carolyn Woods on a "tourists' delight" trip to Italy
by M. A. Weister
For most of us, attending a wedding is a rather simple affair. We
get in the car and drive to it — in minutes or a few hours.
Not so, for Glenn Woods, associate professor of English. He
took a plane, a train, a jet foil across the English Channel, two
taxi rides, a private car and a bus . . . and finally arrived, ten
days later, at the wedding in Latina, Italy.
He traveled with his wife, Carolyn, Carl and Mary Gacono,
and Pastor Earl Zellers and his wife, Arlene, of Annville, to the
wedding of Leon Van Keulen '82, a native of Holland, who mar-
ried Nadia Mari, of Italy, on September 6, 1986.
Glenn met Leon, a foreign languages major, through English
composition class in 1978. Previously, Leon had been improving
his knowledge of English at Annville- Cleona High School. It was
the Gaconos, Leon's American host family, who convinced him
that enrolling at LVC might be more beneficial to him.
When Leon's parents from Holland came to visit, Glenn took
Leon and his parents on a campus tour which included a "no ap-
pointment" introduction to President Frederick Sample. It was
then that Leon's parents gave their blessing for their son to attend
Lebanon Valley.
"The trip was like visiting family,
because everywhere we visited we
saw memorabilia of Lebanon Valley
College that Leon had sent to his
family and friends," said Glenn.
"They were quite pleased that, as people from the outside, they
could meet the President of the College," said Glenn.
Leon graduated in 1982 with a degree in international
business, and flew home to Veldhoven, Holland. Piet Van
Keulen, Leon's brother also graduated from LVC in 1982 with a
degree in business administration.
{ llenn was delighted that he received an invitation to the wed
ding, as did the Gaconos and Zellers. After much convincing by
the other invitees, Glenn decided to make the trip in spite of the
beginning of the school year.
The group flew to London on August 25, and traveled by jet
foil across the English Channel, then by train to Brussels. That
was the start of "a trip like I could never imagine" said Glenn.
The group was met at the train station in Brussels by Frank
Grilli, whom Glenn and his wife knew from LVC.
Frank had come to LVC in 1980 as the bodyguard of young
Giovanni Ferrero, whose family owns a large European chocolate
and confectionary firm that produces liquer-filled chocolate can-
dies in Europe and breath mints here in the U.S.
Giovanni was visiting Hershey Chocolate Company for the
family business, and staying in Wagner House on the LVC cam-
pus. Many threats of kidnapping at home made it necessary for
Giovanni to travel with a bodyguard. Glenn tutored Giovanni in
English while he was here, and the three became friends.
"Frank had hired two taxis to take us sightseeing in Brussels,"
said Glenn, "and we visited lace and chocolate shops, which
Belgium is known for."
Leon and Maria Van Keulen strike an impromptu pose outside the Italian abbey for
photographer Mary Ann Gacono of Annville, PA. The newly-weds met in a summer French
class while Maria was studying to get her Ph.D. in languages from the University of Rome.
Currently, Leon and Maria live in Holland, where Leon works for Pinta, a Dutch company' that
sells milk products in Holland and other countries.
"The day ended with dinner at a small restaurant. When we arrived, we
discovered that the entire place had been reserved for only us through
Frank by the Ferrero family" recalls Glenn. Leon's parents and four of his
relatives had also been invited.
"The women were given nosegays of fresh flowers by Mrs. Ferrero's
secretary, Elizabeth Jackson," said Glenn.
Elizabeth, who is British, had been the family's correspondent with Her-
shey and LVC during Giovanni's stay here. Mrs. Ferrero and Elizabeth
became close friends while Giovanni attended LVC, and Elizabeth stayed
as Mrs. Ferrero's personal secretary after Giovanni completed his six-month
stay at the College.

Veldhoven, Holland.
During dinner, which lasted from 8:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
everyone was presented with gilts from the Ferrero family.
"I can't figure out how they did it," said Glenn, "because each
of our gilts was some item that we'd admired during the shop-
ping trip. Frank was with us during the trip, but nothing was
bought that we saw. My wife, who collects dolls, received a lovely
doll dressed in Belgium lace that she had admired. It felt to me
like a "Thank You' for all that LVC had done for the Ferrero fami-
iy"
After the dinner, the travelers were driven to Heeze, Holland,
to stay with the bridegroom's parents while sightseeing and
waiting for the wedding trip to Italy to begin.
"We were lucky to have visited Paris when we did because it
was just two days before the September 1 terrorist bombing ol
portions of the city," said Glenn.
Piet's in-laws paid for the six-hour trip, during which Glenn
and the others saw Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. The stay in
Paris lasted six hours and then it was back to Heeze for the
"Brabantse Dag" festival.
Named for the region of Holland, the one-day festival included
a local art and craft show and a three-hour parade with twenty-
nine divisions.
"The theme was holidays of the year," remembers Glenn, "and
in the parade was one of the most beautiful working carousels
I've ever seen."
Finally, the day arrived to leave for the wedding. The group —
which now numbered twenty-seven with Leon's friends and
relatives included — set out on a two-day journey via chartered
bus that included an overnight stay in Austria. The group had
been joined bv Carl Gacono, Jr. , who was a psychology major at
LVC, and is now a Ph.D. candidate, and his sister Mary Ann.
On September 2, the group arrived in Latina, a small city
located south of Rome on the Mediterranean Sea, and home of
the bride's parents. The busload of travelers stayed at the Hotel
Europa, visited with the bride's parents and went sightseeing. A
friend of Nadia's who knew English and Italian was their guide
and took them to Pompeii, the Italian Riviera, and to Rome,
where they saw The Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica.
On the wedding day, Nadia's parents held a morning reception
at their home that included Italian, Dutch and American guests.
The reception lasted until 11 a.m., when the guests traveled to
a 12th century abbey on a mountain in Sermonetta, for the wed-
ding ceremony.
"The Italian ceremony is slightly different from ours," recalls
Glenn. "There are no attendants, and the bride and groom meet
in the back of the church and walk up the aisle together."
Following the full Mass ceremony, the guests traveled to a 12th
century village atop a neighboring mountain for the reception.
"The road up the mountain was so narrow that the bus had to
back down to park after dropping us off," said Glenn.
The 12th century fortress now contains a restaurant; it was
there that the wedding guests were treated to a sumptuous feast
of Italian dishes including beef, ham, chicken, lamb, rabbit and
pasta.
"During the reception there was no band like we traditionally
have in the U.S., but a lot of spontaneous singing," said Glenn.
The reception lasted until 6 p.m. when everyone retired to the
Mari's condominium to watch the couple open gifts. To keep

with the tradition of giving something from their region of the
country, Glenn and his wife gave the newlyweds a Pennsylvania
German house blessing hex sign and a set of Pfaltzgraff
placemats. The Gaconos presented them with a print depicting a
Pennsylvania Dutch farm scene by Annville artist Bruce
Johnson. Once the gifts were opened, the guests went dancing in
an outdoor cafe in Latina until after midnight.
"The following day we held to a leisurely pace and spent the
afternoon in the only Italian cafe we could find open," said
Glenn. "And after that came more shopping and the two-day trip
back to Heeze. We took along the gifts for the newlyweds since
they would be living in Holland after their honeymoon."
"The trip was like visiting family, because everywhere we
visited we saw memorabilia of Lebanon Valley College that Leon
had sent to his family and friends."
All in all, says Glenn, it was "a trip that could not be

Dreams Come True
the legacy of Mary McCurdy Graham '30
helps LVC's future biologists
by Scott Kirk '87
Sometimes, parents aren't the only ones that help students pay
for college. Alumni, through the contribution of scholarships,
have made the difference for many students who otherwise could
not have fulfilled their educational goals.
John Malloy, of Sharon Hill, PA, and Camille DeClementi, of
Tuckerton, NJ, are two such freshmen who have come closer to
their goals, thanks to the LVC Graham Scholarships in biology.
The $7500 scholarship that each has received has made their
studies at Lebanon Valley College a reality.
After graduating from Academy Park High School last year,
John knew that he wanted to study in the oral surgery field. His
biology teacher, Ed Lauginiger, had introduced him to that field.
But he hadn't decided where to further his study, or how to
finance his education.
John's academic achievements helped provide the answers. He
had received several awards in high school for high scores on
standardized tests and was a member of the National Honor
Society. These achievements, combined with teacher recommen-
dations, helped John win his Graham scholarship from LVC.
"Lebanon Valley was the first college I really talked to, and I
really wanted to come here," John said. "I liked the personal let-
ters I received, the professors I met, and the equipment in the
biology department. The scholarship made it possible for me to
come to LVC."
After completing his studies here, John hopes to go to medical
school, either at Temple University or the University of Penn-
sylvania. And his career goal? "I'm considering maxillo facial
prosthodontics now," he said. "It's the use of plastics and steel to
rebuild jaws and mouths." Malloy added that although that
career ambition is tentative, he's convinced he wants to enter a
health care career.
The other recipient, Camille DeClementi, said the scholarship
brings her one step closer to becoming a veterinarian — her life
ambition.
"Cami" admits that what originally attracted her to LVC was
the small school atmosphere. Now that she's a freshman, it's
become more valuable to her education than ever.
"It's what I expected," she said. "I have more personal contact
here with the professors — they care. You can always get them to
help you if you need them."
As part of her preparation for study in veterinary medicine
(which she hopes to continue at either Cornell or the University
of Pennsylvania), Cami is currently taking courses in biology,
chemistry, calculus and honors communications. Although she
admits that not all of these areas interest her, she does see merit
in studying them.
"In biology, for instance, we're learning about photosynthesis.
I don't hate plants, but I'm more interested in animals. I know
that it's just something you have to learn in biology. You have to
have the general before you can get more in-depth for pre-med.
education," she said.
Both John and Cami share an interest in professions that re-
quire graduate-level training. In preparing for that training, each
has acknowledged that their biology scholarship provides the
means to an end. But where did that means come from?
The scholarship is named after the late Mary E. McCurdy
Graham, an LVC alumna from the class of 1930, who was a
biology major. An active participant in extra-curricular activities
during her college years, Mary believed in Lebanon Valley Col-

lege, and returned to her Alma Mater frequently.
Irene Peter '30, her former roommate, noted that Mary was
very interested in her studies. "She was always broadening her
horizons," Irene said. "LVC meant everything to her."
Although Irene, as a former history major, knew little of Mary's
biology studies, she was able to recount much of Mary's social life
at LVC. "She was involved in anything [any extra-curricular ac-
tivity] that came down the pike. Whatever there was to do, she
was in it," Irene said. Mary's college activities included women's
basketball, the class play, class officer, and advertising for the col-
lege yearbook .
"She had a lot of friends," Irene continued. "Mary had 'per-
sonality plus.' She could walk into a room, and people would
notice. Sine was well-informed — she knew what was going on in

real success as advertising manager of this publication. Not only
is it an unusual position for a girl, but she has surpassed the

the world, although she was a little more idealistic than what the
average person was."
After Mary graduated from LVC, she received her master's
degree in biology from Temple University. According to Mary's
friend Mildred Myers '30, Mary continued to share her en-
thusiasm for her subject and for education as a teacher, spending
25 years in the Lower Merion School District in Ardmore, Penn-
sylvania. For several years, she also taught graduate courses in
biology at Temple.
As can be expected, Mary made a number of friends in her 26
years of teaching. William White, a former student of Mary's and
the co-executor of her estate, became her lifelong friend. Bill
noted Mary's intense interest in her subject.
"Nothing else was as important as biology," Bill remembers.
"Mary kept you interested in it. She was very thorough in what
she did — she had a very structured classroom. She got the most
out of you. She demanded a lot of respect and she got it.
"But," he continued, "she also had a good rapport with her
students. It was not unusual for Mary's students to keep return-
ing to see her. She was a very caring person, and she took an in-
terest in everyone. She gave these scholarhsips so students in-
terested in biology could study at LVC.
Mary's will provides for future students to "enjoy the same
kind of education" she received. In the form of the Mary E.
McCurdy Graham Scholarships, the former biology major and
high school teacher continues to provide for students like John
Malloy and Cami DeClementi. The high standards reflected bv
the scholarship are a tribute to Mary's own high standards of
education, as testified by her friends and former students.
"She has left a priceless legacy to future biologists at LVC — to
aid them in the study of the science that she loved so much,"
Mildred noted "She nevei forgot 1 ebanon Valley." IBZiS

Education and the Passion
for Seeking Justice
Dr. William J. McGill, the new vice president and dean of the
faculty at Lebanon Valley College, opened the 1986 - 1987 school
year with a provocative address at Convocation ceremonies held
on campus. Excerpts from his remarks, entitled "Education and
the Passion for Seeking Justice", appear below. The full text of
Dean McGill's remark's are available upon request from the
Communications Office.
"My object here is not to analyze specific issues in higher
education, but to emphasize what I regard as the fundamental
problem, namely the failure to grapple seriously with the ques-
tion of purpose.
What, then, is higher education for? There are a variety of pur-
poses which colleges and universities ought to pursue. I will not
identify them all, but I would note that there are three general
types of purposes which institutions of higher education have
traditionally espoused and which remain as legitimate goals—
and there is a definite hierarchy among them.
First, there are a variety of basic skills which they have sought
to enhance— primarily communication and computation skills —
and with them certain bodies of information they have tried to
impart. Second, there are a number of intellectual skills which
they have sought to develop— the ability to read critically, to
analyze, to deal with analogy and metaphor, to make aesthetic
judgments, to tolerate ambiguity. And finally, there is a level
which involves the ability and the readiness to make value
decisions.
In the statements of purpose which one finds in most college
and university catalogs, institutions usually identify purposes
from each of these three levels. My own observation and ex-
perience over three decades in higher education, however, leads
me to conclude that, at most times in their histories, colleges and
universities have done a competent-to-excellent job in fulfilling
purposes of the first level, a fair-to-middling job in fulfilling pur-
poses of the second level, but, for all their rhetoric, they have
avoided coming to grip with purposes of the third level.
But it is precisely at that level that the most critical needs of our
society must be met. Only in confronting and dealing seriously
with questions that are ultimately value questions, can we ever
hope to respond to the fundamental problems of our time.
"Only in confronting and dealing
seriously with questions that are ultimate-
ly value questions, can we ever hope to
respond to the fundamental problems of
our time."
For example, the most significant questions of our day in
medical science are not technical problems or matters of exper-
tise. They are moral questions. The emergence of bioethics in-
dicates that we at least faintly recognize this fact, but we are still
hesitant to wrestle seriously with it. We still delude ourselves into
believing that we can find answers in technical, scientific terms.
William J. McGill,
Vice President and Dean
of the Faculty
Thus, we behold the spectacle of a congressional committee try-
ing to determine when human life actually begins by trooping
before it a series of expert and not-so-expert witnesses. Nor
would it do to turn the matter over to a panel of biologists— or to
defer the question by saying that science has not yet advanced far
enough to give us an answer. The real issue is the question of
priorities in moments of difficult choice— and that question we
cannot answer by defining scientifically the "moment" when life
begins.
The most significant questions of our day in law are not
technical problems or matters of expertise. They are moral ques-
tions. To believe, as some people do, that a strict application and
enforcement of the law will solve our societal problems in sheer
folly. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in his 1978 commencement ad-
dress at Harvard— which many people have complained about
but few have read — argued forcefully that a critical flaw of
modern Western society is its belief that '"if one is right from a
legal point of view, nothing more is required.'"
Solzhenitsyn's words bring to mind those of an earlier and
greater prophet on the letter and the spirit of the law. What Jesus
recognized in first century Palestine has ever been true: answers
to life's greatest questions and dilemmas cannot be found in
mere legalism, in mechanical applications and manipulations of
the law.
The most significant questions of our day in business and in-
dustry are not technical problems or matters of expertise. They
are moral questions. Managing a business enterprise cannot be
merely a matter of toting up a balance sheet. It involves an array
of human problems in which the pure profit motive is a totally
inadequate criterion. One need look no further than the problem
of industrial wastes, and particularly those related to nuclear
power, to recognize that techniques of cost accounting alone can-
not provide an answer. And that is but one of a myriad of pro-
blems in which business done without ethical sense is simply in-
admissible. Corporations do have moral responsibilities because
they have obligations to the society in which they function.
The most important questions of our day in education are not
technical problems or matters of expertise. They are moral ques-
tions. Every exercise in management with new delivery systems
will fail if we forget that the "why" includes more than mere
technique, mere acquisition of knowledge. Particularly in
The Valley 9
teaching those who themselves will teach, we must remember
that, above all, we are preparing them to fulfill a moral
responsibility— to their schools, to their students, to society:
' 'That the generations to come might know, and the children yet
unborn; that they in their turn might tell it to their children
(Psalms 78:6).' "
I could go on, but I trust that my point is clear. Whatever else it
is, higher education is a critical phase in the process by which we
prepare young men and women for positions of leadership and
responsibility in medicine, in law, in business, in education, in all
sectors of our society. If the "training" we provide does not go
beyond the first and second levels of purpose of which I spoke
earlier, then we fail them— and they will fail us. We do not need
more get-rich-quick doctors; we have enough of them. We do not
need more charlatan lawyers; we have enough of them. We do
not need more businessmen driven by the profit motive alone;
we have enough of them . We do not need more teachers learned
only in the letter of their disciplines; we have enough of them.
What we need above all are young men and women with a pas-
sion for seeking justice, skillful people with a sense of service
who will use their abilities for others.
"We cannot teach morality in the sense
that we can train or require all people to
live morally, but we can and must con-
front our students with a moral vision."
Academicians, however, tend to view moral questions as per-
sonal or religious issues and, therefore, as not properly their con-
cern. We are timid and diffident when we speak of morality and
of ethical education. To be sure, college and university catalogs
often proclaim a concern for values, but as a friend of mine-
now, unfortunately, a dean— is fond of saying, such statements
are rhetorical— by which he means they have little connection
with reality. He insists that we must "operationalize our objec-
tives." By that I fear he means that we can make curricular
judgments onlv in terms of class sizes, student-teacher ratios, and
other, equally mystical, numbers.
The problem with catalog rhetoric, however, is not its lack of
specificity. The problem is our unwillingness to take such
statements seriously as criteria by which to judge our programs
and policies. Above all, we are timid in taking seriously our
responsibility for moral education. By assuming too readily that
morality and values are relative, that they are private matters that
cannot and should not be taught, colleges and universities have
in fact abdicated what is the most critical task of higher education
today.
A variety of groups which do take value questions seriously
are active on campuses, but the institutions themselves must ac-
cept responsibility for helping their students shape a value
system. We cannot teach morality in the sense that we can train
or require all people to live morally, but we can and must con-
front our students with a moral vision. And that we do not do.
There are colleges which actively strive to maintain morality. Too
often, however, such colleges are essentially advocates of a nar-
row legalism, not prophets of a moral vision. Moral vision is not
a denial of the bad; it is a celebration of the good.
Moral vision begins with the recognition that we are not born
only to be happy. If we were, we would not be born to die.
Solzhenitsyn asserted,
'"Since (man's) body is doomed to die, his task on
earth evidently must be of a more spiritual nature.
It cannot be unrestrained enjoyment of everyday
life. It cannot be the search for the best ways to ob-
tain material goods and then cheerfully to get the
most out of them. It has to be the fulfillment of a
permanent earnest duty so that one may leave life a
better human being than one started it.'"
—Harvard Magazine, July-August, 1978, p. 26.
Moral vision is not a set of rules or laws; it is not essentially
prohibitive. It is a quality of living beyond the mere satisfaction of
appetites and personal desires. It is affirmative. Moral growth is
the increasing recognition that to live humanly— that is, to live to
the highest capacity of the nature given to us— is to live in
responsibility to and for others.
The term which for me best evokes the essence of that respon-
sibility is "justice." I might define the term in a variety of ways,
citing images drawn from a host of great ethical philosophers
from Plato on, for justice has ever been the central concern of
such thinkers. But my own passion for it arises from elsewhere,
and to that source I would turn.
In the Farewell Discourses of Jesus to his disciples, which we
find in the Gospel of John, Jesus says,
" As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.
Dwell in my love. If you heed my commands, you
will dwell in my love, as I have heeded my Father's
commands and dwell in His love. I have spoken
thus to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your
joy may be in you, and your joy complete. This is
my commandment: love one another as I have loved
you' " (15:9-12).
To love one another as Jesus has loved us: that is the beginning of
justice. In those words we find an unmistakable call to deeds of
justice towards others.
"To live to the highest capacity of the
nature given to us - is to live in respon-
sibility to and for others."
In The Brothers Karamazov, Doestoevsky described a striking
scene in which a number of pilgrims journey to a monastery to
seek aid from a saintly monk, Father Zossima. One of the
pilgrims, '"a sentimental society lady of genuinely good disposi-
tion,'" asks him how she can prove her faith. He responds,
'"There's no proving it, though you can be convinced of it ... by
the experience of faith active in love.'"
Faith active in love is the experience to which we should call
our students. Such experience will awaken a passion for justice,
and justice will become the substance of their moral vision.
What, after all, is higher education for? If it is only a passport to
privilege for the individual, then its purposes are limited to im-
parting skills. But, if it is more, if it implies an obligation upon
those who venture into it, then those who are the agents of that
education themselves have an obligation to give substance to the
moral vision.
But I must admit to a certain pessimism that colleges and
universities or, more specifically, the administrators and faculty
who comprise them, can undertake such a purpose. I will not
claim that Lebanon Valley College is an exception. / am here
because I believe it can be. But it will not be easy. The very nature of
the crisis that has produced the loss of direction in higher educa-
tion also results in a sharply diminished capacity to recognize
the solution: commitment to enlivening students to the passion
for seeking justice." IVIH

Off to See
the Orient
by Carl P. Ehrhart and M. A. Weister
For "campus architect" Bob Riley, it's time to say farewell to
educational administration and hello to more traveling.
He arrived in Annville thirty-five years ago, and his associa-
tion with the college has been a long, unique one. "Unique"
because he has virtually built the present day campus.
The statistics behind Dr. Riley's accomplishments are im-
pressive. He supervised the construction of eight major
buildings: four student residences including Funkhouser, Ham-
mond, Keister and Silver; two educational facilities including
Blair Music Center and Garber Science Center; and Miller Chapel
and the Allan W. Mund College Center.
The shaping of the campus included the acquisition of a
noteworthy fourteen other facilities, some of which have since
been sold or torn down. The acquisition of the Fencil Conference
Center adjacent to the campus allowed the College to expand ser-
vices for continuing education students and businesses.
Dr. Riley's most recent acquisition for the College has expanded
the campus physically. The purchase of a neighboring farm (near
Kreiderheim) has enlarged the campus to 200 acres, providing
many possibilities for future growth.
As of his retirement on September 1, Riley was also chairman
of the grants council, and responsible for obtaining much addi-
tional funding for the College.
Dr. Riley began his teaching career at Gettysburg College, and
came to LVC in 1951 as associate professor and department chair-
man in economics and business administration; later came the
switch to administration and the vice presidency in which
capacity he served for nineteen years.
Dr. Riley right, and President Arthur L. Peterson chat during the retirement party
held in Dr. Riley's honor. His gift was a set of luggage for his future trips Riley
ended his 35 years of service with the College on September 1, 1986.
"I really am most comfortable on a small campus and in a
small community," he said. "It has been a good association here;
I've thoroughly enjoyed it."
Both he and his vivacious wife, Ruth, are veteran travelers, and
have chalked up two tours of the U.S. during two summers.
"We've been in every state except Idaho and Montana," notes
Dr. Riley.
Another excursion took them to Australia, New Zealand and
the Fiji Islands, where they visited colleges.
At a recent retirement party given by the College employees,
Dr. Riley received a set of luggage, which he says will come in
handy for their trips to Scandinavia, the Orient and Spain — the
three plai es they'd like to see next IVLH
Author's Note: Carl R Ehrhart is professor emeritus of
philosophy and dean emeritus. Weister is editor of The Valley
and the director of communications at the College.
Dr. Riley supervised the construction of the Garber Science Center, a national award winner for its energy-saving qualities. The center was built with fewer windows to reduce cost and
to increase wall space for scientific equipment.

Campus Update
Education Commissioner Visits LVC
"Not since the launching of Sputnik has
education undergone such a review and
evaluation as it has in the past three years,"
said James Oliver Hunter, Commissioner for
Higher Education in Pennsylvania, who
spoke at the College's recent Presidential
Leadership Dinner in October.
"There are institutions where the curricula
is integrated, where students are involved,
where students are taught, and where basic
skills such as critical thinking, communica-
tions and interpersonal skills are taught
across the curriculum," said Hunter. "One
such institution is Lebanon Valley College."
Hunter also lauded the College's focus on
teaching leadership skills during the
undergraduate years.
"Programs such as this suggest that all is
not wrong with higher education in
America," added Hunter.
Hunter is responsible for public policy
leadership for approximately 150 postsecond-
arv institutions in Pennsylvania.
Biology Doctorates
A recent report from Dr. Paul Wolf, chair-
man of the biology department, indicates that
twenty-six LVC graduates who majored in
biology since 1976 have earned the Ph.D.
A previously published report indicated
that only forty-four LVC graduates in the
biological sciences earned the Ph.D. during
the fifty-six year period of 1920 to 1976.
LVC Frosh Makes History
In Soviet Church
A Lebanon Vallev College freshman who
plans to be a minister some day had a chance
to test her pulpit capabilities when she con-
ducted a church service in the Soviet Union
this summer.
A psychology and religion major, Michelle
Grube, visited Tallin, the capital city of
Estonia which is a republic in the Soviet
Union, on a peace mission.
She was one of a 33-member group con-
sisting of other students from various states
and three clergy who were sponsored by the
northeast jurisdictional council of the United
Methodist Church.
The highlight of their summer trip was to
visit a United Methodist church in Tallin, she
said. She compared that church to churches
here in America.
"Over there," she explained "they don't
allow any church members to smoke, drink
or go dancing." "If you do — you either have
to repent or leave the church," she said.
Grube of Akron, Pa., was told that she
made history in the Soviet church during her
visit.
It all started when she conducted a
children's worship service one Sunday morn-
ing. She asked all the children to gather at the
altar. "I couldn't understand why all the
parents began to cry half-way through the
service," the petite brunette said.
She later found out that it was the first time
a service was held for children and said it was
very "moving" for the parents. "They were
very touched to see their children learning
about Christ," the peaceseeker said.
The Estonians, she says, "Are Christians all
the way, or not at all — they worship an
every day God."
Here in America, Grube said she feels
many churchgoers are strictly Sunday
Christians.
All church members in the Soviet Union
are scrutinized carefully she said. There are
no official records; the Soviet Union allows
no records, she emphasized .
Despite the strict regulations, the Estonians
have worship services all day Sunday and eat
lunch in the church between the morning
and afternoon services.
She revealed at times it was rather scarey
and related an incident that happened one
morning while she was sitting in church:
"Their services are extremely long, sometimes
lasting two hours, so I began looking
around." I saw several KGB come in carrying
notebooks and they began scanning the room
and writing down names."
She was informed after the service that the
KGB officials were recording names of those
who had never attended before. "Sometimes
vou're not sure, though, if there is reason to
be scared or if it's paranoia," she added.
Since Grube has returned home, she con-
fessed, that occasionally she feels someone is
watching her and finds herself out of habit —
looking over her shoulder.
"I have really learned to appreciate what I
have here, since I'm back," she revealed.
Grube believes it is easier to be a Christian
in the Soviet Union because of the govern-
ment situation. "They need that hope and
security — we take it all for granted," she
professed.
Their churches are very different from
ours, she noted. She said none of the church-
es display crosses and none have steeples.
From the outside, most look like any ordinary
building.
However, she did notice the face of Christ
on a wall in one of the churches visited.
"That was the only way you could tell it was
a church," she added.
Michelle Grube reminisces about her peace mission to the
Soviet Union while relaxing in the student center at
Lebanon Vallev College.
The Estonians, who Grube says are very
offended if referred to as Russians, are more
liberal and more westernized than residents
of Moscow. In Moscow the churches are
mostly Russian Orthodox and they don't get
away with as much as the Estonians, she
related.
She was surprised to find that many
Soviets are enthralled with the glamour and
glitzy, night-time TV soap opera, Dynasty. 'A
lot of them think that Americans live like the
characters on that show," Grube related. But
since Dynasty broadcasts there are several
weeks behind the American broadcasts,
many wanted to know what was going to
happen. "If you were not a Dynasty fan, you
The Valley 12
were left out," she said with a chuckle.
Grube said the goals set by the group were
to build friendships, gain understanding
among the people, dispel stereotypes and ex-
tend the peace of Christ.
Although the main purpose of the group's
peace mission was to develop an understand-
ing and build an international relationship
toward peace, Grube said Estonian folks do
not want to talk about world peace. They
don't envision world peace the same as
Americans do, she noted.
"They don't believe they will ever see world
peace, so they are searching more for a
spiritual peace," the young, peace am-
bassador said.

C £_\
A R
Dale Erskine, assistant professor of biologv (left), with
faculty assistant Dr. Jeannette Jones of Alabama A&M
University, and Dr. Larry Fannin of Florida A&M Univer-
sity College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Erskine and Jones were the two instructors chosen bv Fan-
nin from a nation wide search.
"I had a great group of students who liked
to work hard and also have a good time,"
said Dale Erskine, assistant professor of
biology, who spent seven weeks working for
the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration (NASA) at Kennedy Space
Center in Cape Canaveral this summer.
Erskine was an instructor for the Space Life
Sciences Training Program (SLSTP) that
NASA and Florida A&M offer each year on a
competitive basis to 30 students from around
the country. Dale himself was one of only
two instructors chosen from a nationwide
search .
Through various experiments, the group
studied the effects of space flight on plant
growth and also on the human body.
"The students and I learned a great deal
about life sciences in the absence of gravity,"
notes Dale. "You have to remember when
there is no 'up' or 'down,' the protocol one
uses is very different from earth-based ex-
perimentation."
Through several experiments, Dale's group
studied the effects of weightlessness on the
cardiovascular and muscle systems, how to
recycle water and grow food during long-
term space flight, crustacean metabolism and
behavior in a weightless environment, and
soil and water changes and recovery rates
following launches.
"During the first week, we learned
something about the other groups' ex-
periments which included motion sickness,
feeding animals in space, and plant growth
and harvest in space." said Dale.
In the mornings, the group attended lec-
tures given by NASA, or toured semi-
classified areas. For example, they saw where
space shuttles are processed upon return to
Earth, the Vehicle Assembly building where
the shuttles are mounted onto booster rockets
in preparation for launch, and the actual
launch pads. They also saw the shuttles
Atlantis and Discovery being worked on.
Through the SLSTP, NASA hopes to attract
current college students to the space program
following graduation. Dale hopes that an
LVC student joins the program next summer.
"The trip is a valuable learning experience,"
adds Dale, "and now I'm able to incorporate
some of the concepts and techniques into the
courses I teach at LVC."
Dale's trip wasn't entirely made up of ex-
periments though; he did take advantage of
his first-ever trip to Florida to enjoy beach
parties with his group of students, and to
visit Disneyworld and EPCOT Center with
his wife, Deborah Bass.
His only regret is that he didn't have time
to get to Space Camp in Huntsville,
Alabama. But his monogrammed flight suit
is being mailed to him anyway.

of the music department, the dean of
students and the director of financial aid. The
annual award will range from $750-$1000.
Donations can be sent to the Lebanon Valley
College Development Office.
New Ministry Scholarships
Seven need-based scholarships are now
available to students who intend to study for
the ministry. The endowed scholarships,
given by the Department of Religion and
Philosophy and the Chaplain's Office, range
from $500 to $1500 and are not restricted to
students in the religion or philosophy majors.
Though a few scholarships are restricted to
United Methodist pre-ministerial students,
candidates from other denominations are en-
couraged to apply.
Information on the scholarships is available

Profile
Thompson and Hanes
"lead" the way
Carolyn Hanes (left), associate professor of sociology, and
Warren Thompson (right), and chairman of the depart-
ment of philosophy, "lead" the way in the classroom, and
in the Leadership Development seminars for professionals.
What is leadership? Why study leadership?
Who needs leadership?
Warren K. A. Thompson, associate pro-
fessor of philosophy and newly appointed
director of the Leadership Studies Program
(LSP), and Dr. Carolyn Hanes, chairperson
of the sociology/social service department
and instructor of the first course on leader-
ship at LVC, are both answering these ques-
tions right now.
"Lebanon Valley believes that knowing
about leadership is everybody's business,"
says Thompson. "At some time or another, all
of us are leaders or followers . . . the LSP will
give our students the ability to tell good
leadership from bad."
Thompson hopes to have leadership intern-
ships in place by the 1988-89 academic year.
"Students would write a critical review of
their experience in the public or private sector, .
and recap their day-to-day observations," ex-
plains Thompson.
The Leadership Studies Program will
eventually include several courses that
students may take voluntarily. For the
Presidential Leadership Scholars — students
on a tuition scholarship from LVC — several
courses are mandatory. Through the in-
troductory course, students become aware of
basic theories and concepts relevant to leader-
ship, interpersonal skills and values.
Entitled "Theories and Applications of the
Leadership Process," the introductory course
is being taught by Hanes this semester.
"We're not expecting the students to end
world hunger or bring about world peace,"
Hanes explains. "What they can do is
something that raises awareness levels.
"Awareness is what gets people acting,"
Hanes continued. "Take a look at world
hunger. It's not a new issue — it's an old
issue. But very little was being done about it.
Once it was brought to the consciousness of
our society, we got all sorts of drives and
campaigns to deal with the issue." Hanes
suggested that students can raise awareness
on the local level in a similar fashion.
Two projects that are attempting to do just
that are "Operation Santa Claus," an attempt
to raise money to get new toys for needy
families in the area, and an alcohol and drug
awareness program for local high schools.
Both ideas were student-conceived, and will
be student-implemented over the course of
the semester.
According to Hanes, the student projects
have already had an impact on LVC students
that goes beyond the course.
"We're already getting students involved in
the community in their freshman year.
Students are already beginning to think
about how they can do something to help the
community around them. I think that's very
healthy — it's nice to see students have social
awareness and involvement."
Excited about the course, Hanes says there's
a lot of application to everyday tasks.
"It can awaken new directions to
anything," says Hanes. "I think that's very
exciting." h'jh
