John  A.  Synodinos 
Elected  15th  President 


The  Board  of  Trustees  elected  John  A.  Synodinos,  Lancaster, 
PA,  as  the  fifteenth  President  of  the  College  on  Friday,  May  6. 
He  begins  his  new  duties  on  July  1. 

Alumnus  Thomas  Reinhart,  chairman  of  the  presidential 
search  committee,  said,  "Synodinos  was  selected  from  among 
200  candidates  because  of  his  strength  in  institutional  ad- 
vancement, especially  development,  admissions,  alumni  rela- 
tions, and  public  relations." 

Svnodinos,  who  for  the  past  four  years  has  headed  his  own 
educational  consulting  firm,  John  A.  Synodinos  and 
Associates,  takes  over  as  the  College  prepares  for  its  125th  an- 
niversary celebration  in  1991. 

Asked  during  a  recent  press  conference  why  he  gave  up  his 
educational  consulting  business  to  become  President, 
Synodinos  said,  "I  fell  in  love  with  LVC,  its  people,  its  spirit." 

Raising  the  endowment  is  at  the  top  of  his  list. 

"I'd  love  to  see  it  at  $30  million  or  $40  million,"  he 
told  reporters. 

After  endowment,  Synodinos'  other  goals  include:  improv- 
ing the  visibility  of  the  College,  enhancing  alumni  relations, 
improving  faculty  salaries,  creating  a  coherent  campus  plan 
and  technological  improvements,  and  keeping  student  quality 
intact  as  the  college  weathers  demographic  changes  in  the 
next  decade. 

In  1984,  Synodinos  ended  a  16-year  career  as  an  ad- 
ministrator at  Franklin  &  Marshall  College,  Lancaster,  and 
began  his  own  educational  consulting  firm. 

He  served  as  associate  director  of  development  at  F&M  from 
1968  to  1971,  worked  for  a  short  time  as  administrative  assis- 
tant to  the  F&M  president,  then  was  vice-president  of 
development  until  1984. 

Previously,  from  1960  to  1968,  he  served  in  various 
administrative  posts  at  The  Johns  Hopkins  University 
in  Baltimore. 

An  active  member  of  the  Council  for  the  Advancement  and 
Support  of  Education  (CASE),  Synodinos  teaches  in  the  sum- 
mer program  of  Carnegie-Mellon  University's  College 
Management  Program. 

He  holds  a  master's  degree  in  education  from  Temple 
University  and  a  bachelor  of  science  degree  in  history  from 
Loyola  College,  where  he  graduated  cum  laude. 

Additionally,  he  holds  a  certificate  from  the  Institute  for 
Education  Management  at  the  Harvard  Business  School. 

He  was  selected  an  Outstanding  Educator  of  America 
in  1973. 

At  home  on  the  stage,  Synodinos  has  had  dramatic  parts  in 
many  productions  in  the  central  Pennsylvania  region  over  the 
years.  Until  his  recent  appointment,  he  was  president  of  both 
the  Board  of  Arts  Council  in  Lancaster  and  the  Schubert 
Festival  Foundation,  and  was  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  the 
Pennsylvania  School  of  the  Arts,  Lancaster.  He  is  a  board 
member  of  Music  at  Gretna. 

Synodinos  and  his  wife,  Glenda,  currently  reside  at  1824 
Edenwald  Lane,  Lancaster,  and  will  move  into  the  president's 
house  sometime  this  summer.  They  are  the  parents  of  two 
daughters,  Jean  Synodinos  and  Victoria  Synodinos- 
Gertenbach.

Lone  Ranger:  Strohman 
embodies  the  theme  to 
jazz  fans 


by  Harriet  Wesley 
For  the  Patriot-News 


Think  of  "The  William  Tell  Overture."  Who  comes  to  mind? 
If  you  answered:  "The  Lone  Ranger,"  you  aren't  an  area  jazz 
fan.  Jazzers  would  respond:  "Tom  Strohman." 

Strohman  has  been  sailing  through  that  Lone  Ranger  radio 
theme  on  flute  for  almost  30  years.  And  he's  only  35  now. 

The  Lebanon  resident  learned  the  musical  work  while  in 
elementary  school,  plaved  the  piece  well  enough  to  win  area 
talent  competitions  galore  and  finally,  at  the  ripe  age  of  8, 
plaved  it  while  a  contestant  on  the  "Ted  Mack  Amateur  Hour" 
in  New  York  City. 

Strohman  has  come  a  long  way  since  then.  His  musical  bent 
began  at  age  6,  when  his  father  started  teaching  him  how  to 
play  the  piccolo.  Flute  was  next  and  then  came  saxophones, 
clarinets  and  assorted  flutes.  Keyboards  came  later.  So 
did  violin. 

Strohman's  parents  were  both  music  teachers  and  per- 
formers. His  mother  taught  vocal  music  in  the  Lebanon 
elementarv  schools.  Dad  was  an  instrumental  teacher  and 
junior  high  school  band  director  in  Lebanon. 

So,  coming  to  music  was  natural  for  Strohman.  But  it  wasn't 
until  high  school  that  he  chose  music  as  a  vocation.  By  then 
he  had  packed  away  his  violin  and  concentrated  on  all  the  in- 
stuments  in  the  woodwind  family. 

He  played  in  the  school  marching  band,  concert  band,  or- 
chestra and  jazz  band  as  well  as  rock  bands  for  a  well-rounded 
musical  experience.  Then  came  Lebanon  Valley  College  and 


A  lot  of  milestones  were  reached 
by  Strohman  while  he  was  in 
college. 


more  music,  culminating  in  his  being  tapped  for  student  band 
director  of  that  institution's  jazz  band  in  his  senior  year. 

During  those  college  years  Strohman  worked  with  New 
York  jazzman  Walt  Levinsky,  an  alumnus  of  Lebanon  Valley 
College  who  returned  to  perform  there  numerous  times.  Also 
during  that  time,  Strohman  studied  under  Frank  Stachow, 
head  of  the  college  music  department. 

Of  Stachow,  Strohman  said:  "He  was  a  walking  en- 
cyclopedia of  music  —  an  open  teacher  who  encouraged  a 
sense  of  curiosity  about  music.  He  knew  where  a  student 
needed  help  but  also  knew  when  to  stay  quiet  so  that  the  stu- 
dent could  create  on  his  own."  Strohman  told  that  Stachow 
once  drove  all  the  way  to  Pittsburgh  so  that  Strohman  could 
perform  one  solo  number.  After  the  song,  they  drove  straight 
back  to  Lebanon. 


As  Strohman  began  developing  an  original  style  he  listened 
to  a  wide  assortment  of  instrumentalists,  Ray  Anthony  and 
Harry  James  topping  that  early  list.  Strohman  admired  James 
for  his  blues  solos  in  the  low  register  of  the  trumpet,  describ- 
ing them  as  "airy." 

Strohman's  parents  took  him  to  see  plenty  of  jazz  artists 
while  he  was  young  —  Eddie  "Lockjaw"  Davis,  Sal  Nistico 
and  Richie  Cole  included.  Then,  the  budding  artist  studied 
the  performances  of  Buddy  Rich,  Cannonball  Adderley,  John 
Coltrane  and  Sonnv  Rollins.  Now,  he  includes  Phil  Woods 
and  Michael  Brecker  as  favorites. 


Strohman's  newest  accomplish- 
ment is  having  been  named  direc- 
tor of  the  Lebanon  Valley  College 
Jazz  Band  -  the  second  time 
around. 


Lots  of  milestones  were  reached  by  Strohman  while  he  was 
in  college.  Along  with  bassist  Jim  Miller,  he  formed  the 
popular  quartet,  Third  Stream.  At  the  Quinnipiac  Inter- 
collegiate Jazz  Festival  he  garnered  personal  awards  two  years 
running  —  Best  Saxophone  Soloist  in  1973  and  the  Louis  Arm- 
strong Outstanding  Musician  in  1974. 

Over  the  years  Strohman  has  performed  with  Buddy 
DeFranco,  Johnny  Coles,  Ira  Sullivan,  Dave  Stahl,  Al  Martino, 
Sonny  and  Cher,  Eddie  Fisher,  Delia  Reese,  Patti  Page,  Steven 
Gilmore,  Al  Grey,  Derek  Smith,  Steve  LaSpina  and 
Bobby  Rosengarden. 

With  Third  Stream  he  has  shared  the  bill  with  Herbie  Han- 
cock, Stanley  Turrentine,  Chick  Corea,  Tower  of  Power,  Jeff 
Beck,  Barney  Kessel,  Livingston  Taylor,  Deodato,  Spyro  Gyra 
and  others. 

Also  with  Third  Stream,  Strohman  recorded  the  single,  'In 
Remembrance"  in  1979.  The  next  year  the  band  released  its 
first  album,  "Gettih  It  Together."  Strohman  was  joined  by  a 
dozen  other  jazzmen  in  1982  for  the  album,  "Just  Friends."  Its 
success  led  to  the  follow-up  LP  "Just  Friends  Again"  the 
next  year. 

Third  Stream  recorded  a  smash  hit  Christmas  tape  that  has 
sold  out  so  many  times  that  its  master  tape  has  worn  thin.  It 
will  be  re-recorded  in  time  for  the  next  holiday  season.  A  com- 
panion tape  will  also  be  recorded  that  will  feature  a  new 
assortment  of  Christmas  songs  and  carols. 


The  Valley  4 


Jim  Miller,  bass,  Tom  Strohman,  woodwinds  and  keyboards,  Jim  Easton,  guitar  and  synthesizer  and  John  Peiler,  drums,  comprise  the  popular  jazz  quartet  Third  Stream. 


What  does  the  future  hold  for  Strohman?  "Probably  more  of 
the  same,"  he  said.  "Third  Stream  isn't  one-dimensional.  We 
play  everything  for  everybody.  That's  why  we've  become  such 
a  popular  commercial  band  that  doesn't  have  to  look 
for  work." 

Strohman  also  spoke  of  his  love  of  teaching.  "I  have  begin- 
ner kids,  struggling  young  students  and  retired  adults  — 
novice  through  advanced,"  he  said. 

When  asked  why  he  stays  in  the  area  instead  of  auditioning 
for  the  big  time,  Strohman  said  that  he  has  turned  down 
several  offers,  including  one  to  travel  with  singer  Judy  Collins. 
"I  like  it  here,"  he  said.  "If  I  moved  to  New  York,  I  would  have 
to  specialize  in  two  instruments.  That's  the  common  studio 
pattern.  Since  I  love  all  the  instruments  I  play,  I  don't  know 
which  ones  I'd  be  willing  to  give  up." 


The  jazzman  also  said  that  if  he  went  on  the  road  for  short- 
term  gigs  averaging  three  months,  he  would  relinquish 
regular  engagements  he  now  enjoys  playing  free-lance  and 
with  Third  Stream.  "The  band  would  have  to  replace  me  in 
my  absence." 

And  so,  Tom  Strohman  continues  to  live  in  Lebanon  with 
his  wife  Sherie,  who  teaches  musical  instruments  in  the 
Annville-Cleona  elementary  schools  and  is  band  director  of 
the  combined  school  band. 

Strohman's  newest  accomplishment  is  having  been  named 
director  of  the  Lebanon  Valley  College  Jazz  Band  —  the  second 
time  around.  Whereas  the  band  used  to  be  led  by  a  student,  it 
now  boasts  a  professional  who  holds  the  baton.

The  Valley  Revisited 

by  Stanley  F.  Imboden  '55 


Lebanon  Vallev  Collegers  baccalaureate  was  something  of  a 
"homecoming"  for  me.  I'd  not  been  to  one  of  these  chapel 
gatherings  for  seniors  since  1955.  That's  the  year  I  graduated 
among  voung  men  and  women  who  now  proudly  carry  hap- 
py memories  of  "The  Vallev"into  communities  near  and  far 
from  Annville. 

Since  that  commencement  day  sent  me  out  with  a  broad 
liberal  arts  education,  I've  always  been  thankful  to  Lebanon 
Vallev  College  where  the  church-supported  curriculum  still 
gives  attention  to  yearnings  of  the  soul  as  well  as  to  the 
curiosity  and  freedom  of  the  mind.  I  cherish  many  nostalgic 
recollections  of  the  school  and  town,  including  people  and 
places  that  probably  make  up  the  stories  of  other  graduates 
as  well. 

1955  was  a  time  when  LVC  had  lots  of  Korean  War  veterans. 
R.O.T.C.  was  popular.  Lynch  Gymnasium  seemed  brand  new. 
May  Pole  ceremonies  took  place  on  the  mid-campus  green 
just  before  graduation  time.  The  football  team  saw  passes 
thrown  to  receivers  by  a  quarterbacking  classmate  who's  still 
around,  Lou  Sorrentino.  The  "Flying  Dutchmen"  had  just 
come  off  big  seasons  in  the  NCAA  basketball  world.  I  vividly 


'I  imagined  "beanied"  freshman 
and  upper-classmates  once  more 
tug-oHvarring  for  bragging  rights 
with  a  hemp  rope  stretched  across 
the  muddy  Quittapahilla.' 


remember  seeing  that  unforgetable  victory  of  ours  against  For- 
dham  University  at  the  big  Palestra  in  "basketball  city," 
Philadelphia.  There  were  heros  like  Coach  "Rinso"  Marquette, 
Howie  Landa,  Herb  Finkelstein  and  their  outstanding  team. 

Although  students  owned  fewer  automobiles  then,  cars 
were  bigger  with  gobs  of  chrome.  Chevies  and  Fords  sprouted 
fender  fins  about  skirted  rear  wheels  with  flashy  spinners. 
The  diamonds  of  argyle  socks  were  seen  with  penny  loafers, 
and  our  white  suede  shoes  came  with  little  pads  of  chalky 
powder  to  be  handily  used  in  keeping  them  decent  but  not 
too  clean.  Mine  were  more  grey  than  white  from  walking  and 
hitch-hiking  everywhere  until  I  bought  my  first  car,  a  1939 
Buick  Eight  with  122,000  miles  on  it.  Up  to  that  time  I  hitch- 
hiked Route  422  and  borrowed  rides  as  far  as  Womelsdorf 
and  Robesonia. 

The  Buick  blew  an  engine  gasket  as  Dr.  Gustavus  Adolphus 
Richie,  our  New  Testament  Greek  professor,  and  I  drove  just 
north  of  Myerstown  to  play  golf  at  an  easy  but  picturesque 
course  that  had  a  barn  in  the  middle  of  it.  Prof.  Richie's  clubs 
still  had  wooden  shafts,  and  the  diminutive  fellow's  compact 
swing  made  him  as  accurate  as  Ben  Hogan  around  the  greens. 
For  practical  reasons  I  never  played  to  beat  him.  I  needed  all 
the  goodwill  I  could  muster  when  it  came  time  for  class  recita- 
tions on  Cyrus  the  Persian.  Those  three  years  of  Greek  were

tediously  measured  by  Dr.  Richie's  old  gold  watch,  whose 
loud  ticking  resonated  from  his  wooden  desk,  on  which  he 
always  placed  it.  It  was  like  a  metronome  counting  down  to 
the  exam  on  aorist  tenses  that  frightened  all  hell  out  of  the 
nine  preministerial  students  in  our  class. 

My  "dorm"  was  the  home  of  my  grandparents,  Albert  and 
Elizabeth  Beyerle,  on  Lancaster  Street  a  block  west  of  Lynch 
Gym  and  a  half  block  north  of  the  Washington  Band  Hall, 
from  which  Sousa  could  be  heard  all  over  town  on  summer 
rehearsal  nights.  In  return  for  a  good  mattress,  sunny  study 
space  and  parking  for  mv  Buick  in  back  of  the  chicken  house, 
I  nursed  an  elderlv  family  member  who  died  in  the  room  next 
to  mine  during  my  senior  year. 

The  Beverles  were  the  kind  of  relatives  you  always  wanted 
to  visit  and  everyone  seemed  to  love.  Grandma  Beyerle  made 


The  Valley  6 


ends  meet  by  taking  in  house  curtains,  hand-laundering,  star- 
ching and  stretching  them  onto  huge  wooden  frames  which 
we'd  put  on  her  sunny  east  porch  until  the  curtains  were  dry 
and  ready  for  rehanging.  People  who  were  fussy  about  cur- 
tains came  to  Lizzie's  because  she  did  things  as  if  all  labor  had 
holiness  within  it. 

Grandpa  worked  for  many  years  at  the  shoe  factory  in 
Palmyra  and  had  one  of  the  most  productive  gardens  in  Ann- 
ville.  Spring  and  summer,  people  came  from  all  over  the 
county  to  get  vegetables  and  especially  his  home-dried  seeds 
from  his  famous  "beefy"  tomatoes,  which  seemingly  weighed 
a  couple  of  pounds  and  melted  sweetly  in  one's  mouth 
at  suppertime. 

Warm  evenings  at  the  Beyerles  would  begin  with  the 
reading  of  The  Lebanon  Daily  News,  which  always  landed  near 
the  row  of  wooden  rocking  chairs  on  the  long  Victorian  front 
porch.  The  Daily  Neivs  was  special  to  me  because  as  a 
youth  growing  up  in  Reading,  I  carried  morning  and  evening 
papers  that  were  in  black  print  without  the  colorful  red 
headlines  like  the  folks  around  Lebanon  were  accustomed 
to  seeing. 

As  late  as  1955,  the  Beyerles'  wintertime  suppers  were 
always  in  the  kitchen  near  a  large  coal  stove,  which  I  learned 
to  regulate  for  overnight  heating  and  morning  toast  making. 
We  used  long  wire-handled  forks  to  hold  the  bread  over  the 
coals,  and  I  would  finish  eating  my  toast  on  my  way  to  Pro- 
fessor Maud  P.  Lauglin's  8  a.m.  class  in  European  History 
upstairs  on  the  southwest  corner  of  the  Administration 
Building.  You  had  to  be  prepared  to  be  called  on  in  her  class. 
I  visited  Professor  Laughlin  once  after  she  became  ill,  and  her 
personal  word  of  encouragement  for  my  "call  to  the  ministry" 
far  exceeded  the  value  of  all  the  academic  credits  I 
ever  earned. 

During  the  50's  college  expenses  for  most  of  us  weren't  easi- 
ly financed.  Most  of  us  never  won  scholarships  or  plugged  in- 
to government  loans.  There  weren't  as  many.  We  parlaved 
jobs,  "moonlighting"  hours  and  holiday  sales  positions 
together  in  enterprising  ways.  As  a  senior  pre-theological  stu- 
dent, I  cared  for  two  tiny  churches  in  Womelsdorf  and 
Robesonia  with  three  services  and  Sunday  School  each  week. 
During  vacation  I  worked  at  Sears  old  store  on  "pre-mall" 
Cumberland  Street  in  Lebanon,  where  before  Christmas  we'd 
assemble  bicycles,  wagons,  trains  and  swing  sets  for  people 
who  in  those  days  often  used  the  "lay-away"  plan. 


Mary  and  Frank  (Af tomes)  were 
always  "mom"  and  "dad"  to  college 
youth  who  found  a  home  away 
from  home  in  "Hot  Dog  Frank's" 
restaurant.  .  . 


On  days  off  I'd  frequently  head  for  Womelsdorf  to  see  a  girl 
named  Diane.  My  choice  of  her  for  our  thirty-three  year  mar- 
riage rested  not  only  on  her  personality  and  good  looks,  but 
on  the  affection  she  grew  up  in  at  home.  Persuasive,  too,  was 


the  fact  that  her  father,  whose  nickname  was  "Shiwer,"  was 
an  admirable  outdoorsman  who'd  take  me  trout  fishing  in  the 
Swatara  and  Tulpehocken.  We  kept  muskrat  pelts  in  th  base- 
ment, minnies  in  buckets  in  the  "out-kitchen"  and  worms 
bedded  in  ice  cream  boxes  in  the  refrigerator.  To  top  it  off, 
Diane's  mother  made  the  newspapers  as  a  home-cooking 
whiz  who  excelled  at  Rabbit  and  Oyster  Pie  and  used  the 
magic  of  Crisco  for  perfect  baking.  Diane  and  I  married  just 
after  my  graduation  from  Lebanon  Valley,  and  with  all  bills 
paid  we  left  for  our  honeymoon  with  sixty-five  bucks  in 
our  pockets. 

Occasionally  I  visit  my  parents'  graves  in  Mt.  Annville 
Cemetery,  a  few  steps  north  of  my  alma  mater.  On  a  clear  day 
I  can  see  east  to  Eagle  Peak  beside  Womelsdorf  and  west  to  the 
Hershey  farmland  on  which  my  great-grandfather  Imboden 
was  born.  To  the  south,  the  view  reaches  the  iron-rock  and 
deer-filled  Furnace  Hills  where  a  year  ago  Diane  and  I  built  a 
woodsy  home  and  often  gather  with  our  two  sons  and 
friends.  Northward  lie  the  Blue  Mountains,  the  dominant  and 
beautiful  ridges  paralleling  this  valley  in  which  thousands  of 
"Flying  Dutchmen"  like  me  have  grown  up,  been  educated 
and  found  happiness  among  the  families  we  love  and  the 
work  we  do. 

When  I  last  went  to  that  green  hillside  cemetery,  I 
remembered  watching,  as  a  twelve-year-old,  long  columns  of 
World  War  II  tanks  rumbling  past  campus  along  with  ranks  of 
newly  inducted  Indiantown  Gap  soldiers  on  their  way  to  Mt. 
Gretna  for  maneuvers.  The  tanks  often  tore  up  the  streets  and 
rattled  the  type  out  of  its  cases  in  the  old-fashioned  printshop 
on  the  corner  of  White  Oak  and  Church  Streets.  From  Mt. 
Gretna's  hills  I  think  one  can  still  hear  the  echo  of  the  guns 
warning  the  Axis  adversaries  that  Americans  were  prepared 
to  defend  our  freedom. 

On  that  day,  I  could  also  still  hear  the  whistles  of  the  "Five 
O'clock  Hyer"  and  "The  Queen  of  the  Valley"  speeding  down 
the  Annville  straightaway.  I  was  sure  I  heard  the  open- 
window  sound  of  the  LVC  Glee  Club,  and  turning  westward, 
I  imagined  "beamed"  freshmen  and  upper-classmates  once 
more  tug-chwarring  for  bragging  rights  with  a  hemp  rope 
stretched  across  the  muddy  Quittapahilla.  Looking  down  on 
the  new  Arnold  Sports  Center,  I  visualized  my  late  father, 
"Liwy"  Imboden,  who  had  been  a  professional  baseball  scout 
and  umpire,  once  again  calling  "balls  and  strikes"  on  "Rinso" 
and  Hank  Dijohnson. 

A  few  steps  away  I  noticed  a  stone  with  a  familiar  name: 
Mary  Aftosmes.  Mary  and  Frank  (who  still  resides  in  Ann- 
ville) were  always  "mom"  and  "dad"  to  college  youth  who 
found  a  home  away  from  home  in  "Hot  Dog  Frank's" 
restaurant  on  Main  Street  and  learned  much  from  our  "pro- 
fessor of  studies  in  human  nature."  Frank  is  a  Greek  im- 
migrant, but  typical  of  persons  in  college  towns  all  over 
America,  who  have  come  to  them,  been  born  in  them,  studied 
or  taught  in  them  and  made  them  happier  places.  Indeed, 
they  constitute  a  roll  international. 

Say  just  vott  fer  kind  uf  names  are  dos? 

Veil,  let  me  see  vonce:  Aftosmes,  Light,  Fields,  Struble,  Fen- 
cil,  Beyerle,  Lewis,  Ehrhart,  McGill,  Finkelstein,  Marquette, 
Yeakel,  Carmean,  Retreivi,  Uchida,  Radanovic,  Sorrentino, 
Kelly,  Smith  and,  I  guess  Imboden,  too.  By  golly,  they're  all 
Lebanon  Valley  names!  All  American  names!  And  it  has  been 
a  real  blessing  for  us  to  celebrate  their  friendship  once  more.

Shank  and  Salam  Receive 
Alumni  Scholarship 

The  Alumni  Scholarship  Committee  of 
the  Alumni  Association  met  in  March  and 
awarded  $1,000  tuition  credit  each  to  Tracy 
Shank  '89  and  Toni  Salam  '90. 

The  scholarship  is  awarded  on  the  basis 
of  academic  achievement,  financial  need, 
life  and  career  goals,  and  a  committee  con- 
sensus that  the  recipient  will  become  an 
outstanding  LVC  alumnus  or  alumna. 

"We  had  a  very  difficult  time  deciding 
which  of  the  six  candidates  we  interviewed 
should  receive  the  award,"  said  Jane 
Gruber  Seiverling  43,  Alumni  Scholarship 
Committee  chairperson.  "However,  I  think 
that  Tracy  and  Toni  represent  the  ideals  set 
forth  by  the  scholarship." 

The  recipients  were  recognized  during 
the  campus  Awards  Banquet  in  May  and  at 
the  Alumni  Awards  Luncheon  on  June  4. 


Ambassador  Program 
Helps  Admissions 

The  1987-88  Alumni  Ambassador  Pro- 
gram, alumni  working  with  the  College  ad- 
missions office  to  recruit  students,  finished 
its  successful  year  with  a  "phonathon"  dur- 
ing the  week  of  March  21st. 

"This  year  we  had  alumni  contact  pro- 
spective students  with  the  idea  of  inviting 
them  to  one  of  our  student  orientation 
days,"  said  Monica  Lomas  '88,  counselor  in 
admissions  and  co-coordinator  of  the  pro- 
gram. "This  way,  alumni  have  a  specific 
reason  to  be  contacting  the  student,  which 
makes  the  call  a  little  less  awkward." 

During  the  conversation,  alumni  do  what 
they  can  to  answer  questions  and  to  iden- 
tify any  difficulties  or  concerns  students 
may  have  while  making  their  decisions  in 
what  is  becoming  an  increasingly  com- 
petitive market. 

"We  don't  expect  the  alumni  to  be  admis- 
sions counselors,  said  Mary  Jean  Bishop  '84 
director  of  alumni  services.  "Instead  we'd 
like  our  alumni  to  be  ambassadors  ...  to 
help  us  corroborate  LVC's  claim  that  we 
prepare  our  graduates  to  be  tomorrow's 
leaders.  What  better  way  to  substantiate  the 
superiority  of  an  LVC  education -than  with 
our  graduates!" 

The  program,  which  was  revised  this 
year  to  provide  training  "workshops,"  has 
already  been  more  successful  than  last 
year.  As  of  press  time,  116  high  school 
seniors  out  of  274  contacted  by  Alumni  Am- 
bassadors had  sent  the  admissions  office 
their  non-refundable  deposits  of  $200. 
Overall,  the  admissions  office  had  received 
210  deposits  for  the  Class  of  '92. 


The  Alumni  and  Admissions  offices  have 
been  working  together  to  reorganize  the 
1988-89  Alumni  Ambassador  Program.  The 
following  is  a  brief  outline  of  next  year's 
schedule. 

PHASE  I  (July  1) 

Participants  will  be  asked  during  this 
phase  to  share  information  with  the 
admissions  office  on  prospective  students 
by  clipping  "Students  of  the  Week"  articles, 
articles  on  prospective  student-athletes, 
making  the  College  aware  of  friends' 
college-age  children,  etc. 

Participants  living  in  the  "fringes"  of  our 
admissions  recruitment  range  will  be  asked 
to  contact  students  in  their  areas  from  the 
College  Board  lists. 

PHASE  II  (September  1) 

Participants  will  be  "on-call"to  the 
admissions  office  for  help  in  contacting 
prospective  students  on  an  individual  basis 
for  various  reasons.  For  example,  some 
participants  will  be  asked  to  make  calls  to 
prospective  Leadership  and  Honors 
Scholars  inviting  them  to  attend  campus 
interviews  and  to  follow-up  after  the 
interviews.  Other  participants  will  be  asked 
to  make  calls  to  congratulate  "top-notch" 
students  on  their  acceptance  to  the  College. 

PHASE  III  (March  15) 

During  this  phase,  all  participants  will  be 
involved  in  an  alumni  "phonathon"  week 
in  an  effort  to  get  accepted  students  on 
campus  for  one  of  LVC's  orientation  days  in 
the  spring.  Participants  will  work  closely 
with  the  admissions  office  to  identify  the 
prospective  students'  concerns. 

PHASE  IV  (May  1) 

Summer  workshops  will  be  scheduled 
both  on  campus  and  in  areas  with  relatively 
high  concentrations  of  participants  (e.g. 
Philadelphia,  NJ,  MD,  etc.). 

Interested  participants  will  be  asked  to 
host  receptions  for  students  in  their  area 
who  will  be  attending  LVC  or  who  are  con- 
sidering applying  to  LVC  in  the  fall. 

If  you  would  like  to  get  involved  with  the 
1988-89  Alumni  Ambassador  program, 
please  fill  out  the  form  in  the  next  column 
and  mail  to  the  Alumni  Services  Office, 
Lebanon  Valley  College,  Annville,  PA  17003 
by  July  1,1988.

Student/Alumni  Career 
Advisory  Network 

The  Alumni  Services  and  Career  Plan- 
ning and  Placement  Offices  have  been 
working  together  since  January  to  revitalize 
alumni  interest  in  the  Student/Alumni 
Career  Advisory  Network.  This  service  will 
provide  interested  students  and  alumni 
with  additional  opportunities  to  obtain  in- 
formation on  careers  from  people  with 
whom  they  have  something  in  common- 
an  outstanding  liberal  arts  education. 

"I  know  the  LVC  graduates  have  had  at 
the  very  least,  well-rounded  training  and  a 
wide  variety  of  experiences,"  said  Gloria 
Scarle  78,  who,  with  Brian  Cain  '84,  met 
with  a  committee  of  students  earlier  this 
spring  to  discuss  ways  to  get  alumni  more 
active  in  the  network.  Both  Scarle,  a  claims 
representative  supervisor  for  Aetna,  and 
Cain,  a  human  resources  officer  for  Meri- 
dian Bank,  have  called  the  College  Place- 
ment Office  on  several  occasions  to  recruit 
graduating  seniors  for  job  openings  in  their 
companies. 

Although  the  ultimate  goal  of  the  net- 
work is  to  help  find  jobs  for  students  and 
alumni,  the  network  will  also  provide 
"clients"  with  the  news  about  current  job 
market. 

"We  love  to  get  information  on  job  or  in- 
ternship openings,  but  we  also  need  infor- 
mation on  alumni  who  are  willing  to  give 
career  advice,  to  allow  students/alumni  to 
visit  them  on  the  job,  or  just  to  lend  a  sym- 
pathetic ear,"  said  Dave  Evans,  director  of 
career  planning  and  placement.

Hershey  Foods  Corporation 
Gives  $100,000  To  The  125th 
Anniversary  Campaign 

Hershey  Foods  Corporation  notified  Col- 
lege officials  in  February  it  would  par- 
ticipate in  the  institution's  125th  Anniver- 
sary Campaign  with  a  $100,000  pledge  to 
the  endowment  in  support  of  faculty 
scholarship.  To  date,  campaign  pledges 
total  nearly  $4.5  million. 

"We  were  delighted  to  hear  that  Hershev 
Foods  Corporation  has  decided  to 
designate  this  gift  toward  the  faculty 
development  phase  of  our  campaign,"  said 
Dr.  William  McGill,  Acting  President.  "This 
gift  will  enable  us  to  expand  our  support 
for  faculty  research  and  study  and  thereby 
to  continue  the  enrichment  of  teaching." 

Over  the  past  three  years,  Hershey  Foods 
has  helped  ensure  the  health  and  vitality  of 
the  college  through  contributions  to  sup- 
port a  number  of  programs  including 
Leadership  Scholarships,  the  Annual  Fund 
and  the  Summer  Youth  Scholars  Institute.

Fair  Held  For  Area  Teachers 

The  Education  Department  sponsored  its 
First  Annual  Curriculum  Fair  of  Teaching 
Aids  at  LVC  in  April  for  area  mathematics, 
science  and  social  studies  teachers  who  in- 
struct kindergarten  through  eighth  grades. 

"The  fair  displayed  new  and  innovative 
ideas  available  for  in-service  programs  of 
area  school  districts',"  said  fair  organizer  Dr. 
Susan  Atkinson,  assistant  professor  of 
education.  "The  simulations,  games  and 
learning  activities  provided  area  teachers 
with  an  up-close  look  at  what's  new  in  the 
ever-changing  field  of  elementary 
education." 

The  fair  included  board  games,  team 
games,  individual  learning/developmental 
activities,  simulations,  learning  centers  and 
bulletin  board  activities. 


Ebersole  Scholarship 
Surpasses  $25,000  Goal 

Thanks  to  the  persistent  work  of 
associate  professor  emerita  June  Herr  and 
200  alumni,  the  Cloyd  H.  Ebersole  Scholar- 
ship Fund  recently  surpassed  the  $25,000 
mark  six  months  prior  to  the  target  date. 

At  the  urging  of  the  members  of  the  class 
of  1983,  the  fund  was  set  up  in  1983  to 
memorialize  Dr.  Cloyd  H.  Ebersole, 
chairman  of  the  education  department 
from  1966  to  1982,  who  died  in  1983.  He 
was  responsible  for  establishing  the 
elementary  education  certification  program 
through  which  LVC  has  graduated  more 
than  700  teachers. 

In  the  beginning,  '83  graduates  found  it 
difficult  to  contribute  because  of  financial 
responsibilities.  More  recently  the  class  has 
been  dubbed  "The  Scholarship  Class"  due 
to  the  increased  gifts. 

"So  many  alumni  wanted  to  be  part 
of  this  scholarship  fund,"  said  Mrs. 
Herr.  "Over  the  past  five  years,  more 
than  200  elementary  education  graduates 
have  donated  many  gifts  ranging  from  $5 
to  $1,200." 

Scholarship  recipients,  usually 
sophomores  and  juniors,  are  chosen 
annually  by  the  education  faculty.  Selection 
is  based  on  need,  past  performance 
and  future  promise  as  a  professional 
in  education. 

To  help  sustain  alumni  interest  in  the 
scholarship  fund,  Mrs.  Herr  has  continued 
to  keep  graduates  informed  of  the  balance 
through  personal  correspondence  in  spite 
of  her  1986  retirement  after  27  years 
of  service. 

During  her  retirement  party  in  May,  1986, 
gifts  in  excess  of  $4,000  were  donated  to  the 
fund  in  her  name  by  alumni  and  friends 
who  attended  the  celebration. 

"Former  students  and  colleagues  of  Dr. 
Ebersole  described  him  as  being  'patient 
and  understanding,  a  person  who  would 
go  the  extra  mile  for  students  needing  just  a 
little  more  help,'  "  said  Mrs.  Herr  recently. 
"By  developing  the  scholarship,  the  College 
can  keep  alive  the  memory  of  a  man  whose 
life  exemplified  the  personal  and  profes- 
sional qualities  that  our  education  depart- 
ment promotes  and  strives  to  inculcate  in 
its  future  teachers." 

Although  the  $25,000  goal  has  been 
reached,  further  donations  will  be  accepted 
so  that  additional  money  is  available 
for  students. 


Grant  Will  Fund 
Cancer  Research 

The  National  Cancer  Institute,  through 
its  program  "Academic  Research  Enhance- 
ment Awards,"  notified  Lebanon  Valley  Col- 
lege officials  in  May  that  LVC's  Chemistry 
Department  would  receive  a  two-year, 
$50-thousand  grant  to  fund  a  project  entitl- 
ed, "Phospato  Complexes  of  Platinum." 

The  grant  is  the  result  of  a  proposal 
submitted  by  Dr.  Richard  Cornelius,  pro- 
fessor   and    chairman    of    the    Chem- 
istry Department. 

The  award  will,  among  other  things,  pro- 
vide student  stipends  for  summer  research 
and  fund  the  purchase  of  a  modern  com- 
puter controlled  atomic  absorption 
spectrophotometer. 

The  grant  is  for  the  study  of  chemistry 
related  to  platinum-containing  anti-cancer 
drugs.  The  world's  largest  selling  cancer 
drug  is  cisplatin,  a  compound  containing 
platinum.  Dr.  Cornelius  will  be  working  on 
some  of  the  chemistry  of  cisplatin  with  the 
goals  of  understanding  some  of  its  chemical 
reactions  and  preparing  other  compounds 
to  be  tested  for  anti-cancer  activity. 

"There  are  a  large  number  of  platinum 
compounds  that  have  already  been 
prepared  and  tested  for  anti-cancer  activi- 
ty," says  Cornelius.  "Some  of  them  are 
highly  effective,  and  some  are  without  ef- 
fect. Very  subtle  structural  differences  in 
these  compounds  can  make  an  enormous 
difference  in  their  biological  activity." 

Dr.  Cornelius  explains  that  nearly  all 
of  these  compounds  are  highly  toxic.  "In 
our  study,  we  will  try  to  find  compounds 
that  are  less  toxic,  while,  at  the  same 
time,  maintaining  anti-cancer  activity," 
says  Cornelius. 

Carl  Miller,  a  junior  chemistry/computer 
science  major,  Mechanicsburg,  PA,  and 
Matthew  Vera,  a  sophomore  chemistry  ma- 
jor, Marietta,  PA,  have  been  appointed  by 
the  Chemistry  Department  as  this  sum- 
mer's student  research  assistants. 

"The  students  will  have  an  opportunity 
to  work  at  the  frontier  of  chemistry," 
states  Cornelius.  "At  the  same  time,  they 
are  helping  to  address  important  medical 
problems." 

This  grant  program  was  established  by 
The  National  Institutes  of  Health  to  in- 
crease the  amount  of  research  at  small  col- 
leges in  the  nation.  The  criteria  for  being 
considered  for  an  award  include  not  only 
quality  research,  but  also  a  quality 
undergraduate  program  in  the  sciences. 

Dr.  Cornelius  has  been  professor  and 
chairman  of  the  Chemistry  Department 
since  August,  1985.  He  received  a  Ph.D. 
in  inorganic  chemistry  from  the  University 
of  Iowa  and  a  B.A.  in  chemistry  from 
Carleton  College.

Peace  Corps  Recruiter 
Visits  Campus 

Patricia  Benjamin,  a  member  of  the  Peace 
Corps,  Philadelphia,  PA,  visited  the  cam- 
pus in  April  to  speak  with  students  and 
community  members  interested  in  joining 
the  organization. 

For  Chris  Wynkop,  a  junior  biology  ma- 
jor, the  visit  has  resulted  in  a  new  career 
opportunity. 

"One  of  the  things  I'm  considering  is  the 
Peace  Corps'  science  education  and  the 
health-nutrition  extension  programs,"  said 
Wynkop.  "I  thought  about  the  Corps  in 
high  school,  but  found  that  I  needed  fur- 
ther education  to  be  considered.  I  didn't 
think  much  about  it  until  I  went  to  the  cam- 
pus seminar.  After  the  seminar,  I  applied 
for  an  interview.  The  interview  was 
favorable,  and  at  this  point  I'm  going  to 
Philadelphia  in  June  for  another.  Right 
now,  I'm  interested  in  serving  the  usual 
term  which  is  two  years." 

Benjamin  recently  returned  from  Zaire, 
Africa,  where  she  taught  English  as  a 
foreign  language  for  two  years.  Benjamin's 
visit  was  sponsored  by  LVC's  Career  Plan- 
ning and  Placement  Office. 


Cumberland  Valley  High 
School  Wins  8th  Annual 
Quiz  Bowl 

Cumberland  Valley  High  School, 
Mechanicsburg,  PA,  came  away  this  year's 
Quiz  Bowl  winner  when  nearly  500 
students  from  59  area  high  schools  par- 
ticipated in  LVC's  Eighth  Annual  competi- 
tion on  campus  in  March.  Finishing  second 
was  Manheim  Township  High  School, 
Manheim,  PA. 

The  Quiz  Bowl,  an  intensely  competitive 
event  where  LVC  professors  and  ad- 
ministrators act  as  moderators,  begins  with 
a  long  list  of  500  questions.  Student  teams 
compete  by  answering  questions  and 
receiving  points  for  each  correct  answer 
commensurate  with  the  difficulty  of  the 
question.  Low  scoring  teams  are  eliminated 
until  only  two  teams  are  left  to  compete. 
The  final  round  determines  the  winning 
school  team. 


Hempfield  Wins  Math 
Quiz  Bowl 

Student  mathematicians  from  Hempfield 
High  School,  Lancaster,  PA  captured  first 
place  in  the  7th  annual  Math  Quiz  Bowl 
held  on  campus  in  April.  Runner-up  in  the 
event  was  McCaskey  High  School,  Lan- 
caster, PA.  The  event,  run  by  the  LVC  Math 
Club,  attempts  to  improve  mathematic 
awareness  among  the  participants. 

"Once  again,  this  year's  competition  was 
a  success,"  said  Dr.  Horace  Tousley,  chair- 
man and  assistant  professor  of 
mathematical  sciences  and  Math  Quiz 
Bowl  faculty  advisor."  We've  had  very  fine 
comments  from  the  schools  who  par- 
ticipated and  we  continue  to  be  impressed 
by  the  quality  of  the  students  who  com- 
pete." 

This  year's  competition  included  eight 
area  high  schools. 

Concert  Choir  Concludes 
52nd  Annual  Tour 

The  Concert  Choir  and  Chamber  Or- 
chestra concluded  its  52nd  annual  tour 
with  a  campus  performance  in  March. 

"The  tour  was  an  incredible  musical  ex- 
perience," said  Jef  Betz,  a  freshman  choir 
member.  "Because  we  sang  the  same 
pieces  each  day,  we  were  able,  each  time,  to 
find  something  new  in  the  music.  Traveling 
with  other  people  on  a  daily  basis,  and 
visiting  all  these  areas,  helped  me  to 
develop  both  musically  and  as  a  person." 

This  year's  program  emphasized  strong 
contrasts  in  choral  literature.  The  program 
began  with  a  section  on  contemporary 
music  and  continued  with  works  by  the 
two  greatest  masters  of  the  Baroque  period, 
Bach  and  Handel.  In  these  works,  the  choir 
was  accompanied  by  the  chamber  or- 
chestra. The  program  also  featured  the 
choir  singing  a  wide  variety  of  styles,  in- 
cluding folk  hymns  and  spirituals. 

Conducting  the  choir  was  Dr.  Pierce  Getz 
'51,  professor  of  music.  This  year's  tour 
featured  stops  in  Florida,  Washington, 
D.C.,  Virginia,  Georgia  and  North 
Carolina. 

Minnesota  Professor 
Speaks  On 
Ethical  Leadership 

Professionals  who  enrolled  in  LVC's  fall 
workshops  on  leadership  were  welcomed 
back  to  campus  in  March  for  a  special 
presentation  by  Dr.  George  L.  Shapiro,  pro- 
fessor of  speech-communication  at  the 
University  of  Minnesota  and  nationally 
recognized  authority  on  ethical  leadership, 
who  spoke  on  "Ethical  Leader- 
ship/Followership  Development." 


Dr.  Shapiro  has  been  conducting 
research  on  ethical  leadership/followership 
development  in  Central  America  and  the 
Twin  Cities  of  Minneapolis  and  St.  Paul, 
Minnesota. 

"My  primary  motivation  is  to  generate 
knowledge  which  can  contribute  to  the 
development  of  ethical  leaders  and  ethical 
followers,"  said  Shapiro.  "It  is  useful  to 
know  what  ethical  leaders  are  like,  and 
how  they  got  that  way." 

Shapiro  has  done  research  on  ethical 
leadership  and  followership  in  the  Twin 
Cities,  Minnesota;  London,  England;  San 
Salvador;  Managua;  and  Leon,  Nicaragua. 

"In  my  research,  I  am  looking  for  dif- 
ferences between  male  and  female  ethical 
leaders,  between  ethical  leaders  in 
business,  health  care,  education,  religion, 
politics,  and  government  and  non-profit 
social  service,"  Shapiro  says. 

Seminar  participants  were  asked  to  com- 
plete questionaires  used  in  Shapiro's 
research.  They  then  worked  with  Shapiro 
to  discover  what  could  be  done  to  create 
ethical  leaders  for  business  and 
community. 

"His  research  has  shown  that  ethical 
leaders  possess  a  strong  commitment  to 
some  code  of  ethical  values,  values  seem- 
ingly based  primarily  on  concern  for 
honesty,  integrity  and  the  welfare  of  all 
people,"  said  Dr.  Barbara  J.  Denison  79, 
director  of  LDI.  "Shapiro  has  found  that 
most  ethical  leaders  focus  on  the  long  term 
rather  than  short  perspective,  avoiding  con- 
flict between  everyday  crisis  and  their  own 
ethical  principle." 

"The  real  question  remaining  according 
to  Shapiro,  is  what  produces  an  ethical 
leader,"  continued  Denison.  "Two  findings 
emerge  for  Shapiro;  significant  experiences 
between  ages  five  and  sixteen  shaped  the 
leader's  ethical  posture,  and  an  ethical 
leader  has  a  deep  sense  of  loneliness  not 
experienced  by  woman  ethical  leaders." 

National  Fraternity  Installed 

On  Saturday,  April  30,  Tau  Kappa  Ep- 
silon,  a  national  social  fraternity,  installed 
its  latest  Chapter,  Rho-Chi,  at  Lebanon 
Valley  College.  Rho-Chi  Chapter  at  LVC 
consists  of  41  members.  It  is  the  first  na- 
tional social  fraternity  at  LVC.  Presiding 
over  the  ceremonies  was  Frater  Jim  Logan, 
one  of  4  expansion  leaders  of  Tau  Kappa 
Epsilon.

LVC  Offers  Program  to 
Prepare  Students  for  #1  Best 
Job  in  America 

If  vou  don't  want  to  be  a  doctor,  lawyer 
or  astronaut  (and  you're  good  in  math), 
think  about  getting  into  the  actuarial 
science  profession. 

Actuaries  —  who  interpret  statistics  to 
determine  expected  personal  losses  due  to 
sickness  or  disability  and  material  losses 
from  disasters  —  emerged  No.  1  on  the  list 
of  professions  in  a  recently  released  book. 

"The  Jobs  Rated  Almanac,"  published  by 
American  References,  Inc.,  of  Chicago, 
rates  250  jobs  using  six  criteria  including 
salary,  stress,  work  environment,  outlook, 
security  and  physical  demands. 

LVC  has  one  of  the  premier  actuarial 
science  programs  in  the  United  States.  The 
opportunities  provided  by  this  outstanding 
program  are  increasingly  being  recognized 
by  high  school  guidance  counselors, 
mathematics  teachers  and  students. 

A  special  feature  of  the  LVC  actuarial 
science  program  is  that  it  exists  within 
the  liberal  arts  environment  of  the  College. 
The  combination  of  mathematics  and 
business  makes  the  actuarial  profession  an 
exciting  opportunity  for  mathematically 
talented  students. 

Among  the  graduates  of  LVC's  actuarial 
science  program  are  the  Chief  Actuary  of 
the  State  of  Delaware,  the  President  of 
Prudential/Sony  in  Japan,  the  President  of 
Actex  (the  leading  actuarial  publishing 
house),  and  two  partners  in  the  Harrisburg 
pension  consulting  firm  Conrad  M.  Siegel, 
Inc.  Other  graduates  of  LVC  are  employed 
in  Philadelphia,  Hartford,  New  York  City, 
Washington,  Chicago,  Baltimore,  and  other 
locations  in  the  East  and  Midwest. 

Professional  status  within  the  actuarial 
profession  is  attained  through  completion 
of  a  series  of  rigorous  examinations 
administered  by  the  Society  of  Actuaries 
and  the  Casualty  Actuarial  Society.  Some 
of  these  exams  may  be  completed  while 
the    student    is    in    college,    but    most 


are     completed     through     self-study 
during  employment. 

The  following  current  students  and 
graduates  passed  actuarial  examinations 
taken  in  November  1987.  Congratulations!

Faculty  Profile 


LVC  English  Professor  To 
Teach,  Learn  In  China 

By  MARGARET  ANDRIANI 

Staff  Writer 

for  The  Daily  News 

ANNVILLE  -  When  Ralph  Waldo  Emer- 
son wrote  an  essay  in  1837  entitled  "The 
American  Scholar,"  the  world  had  yet  to 
hear  of  Dr.  Arthur  Ford. 

Now  an  American  scholar  in  his  own 
right,  the  Lebanon  Valley  College  English 
professor  is  ensuring  that  students  in  at 
least  some  corners  of  the  world  hear  of  the 
likes  of  Ralph  Waldo  Emerson. 

Four  vears  ago,  Ford  became  the  first  LVC 
faculty  recipient  of  a  Fulbright  professor- 
ship to  teach  in  Damascus,  Syria,  an  honor 
few  scholars  receive  once  in  a  lifetime. 

For  this  Annville  resident,  however,  the 
Fulbright  professorship  has  become  a 
twice-in-a-llfetime  honor.  Ford  learned  two 
weeks  ago  that  he  will  again  teach 
American  literature  to  foreign  students,  this 
time  in  China. 

Ford  said  that  when  he  and  his  wife, 
Mary  Ellen,  left  Syria  three  years  ago,  "we 
began  talking  about  the  next  one." 
Fulbright  scholars  must  wait  three  years, 
however,  before  they  can  apply  through  the 
Council  on  International  Exchange  of 
Scholars  for  a  second  appointment. 

"Technically,  we're  limited  to  three  grants 
in  a  lifetime.  I  think  relatively  few  try  for  a 
second  one,"  Ford  said.  "It's  a  significant 
disruption  in  your  life... It  takes  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  daring  and  probably 
not  very  manv  people  want  to  invest  that 
kind  of  energy." 

Ford  will  invest  his  energy  this  fall 
teaching  American  literature  and  literary 
theory  at  Nanjing  University,  located  on 
the  Yangtze  River  near  Shanghai.  The  ma- 
jority of  his  students  will  be  graduate-level 
English  majors,  although  Ford  said  he 
hopes  to  sharpen  his  Chinese  enough  to 
communicate  with  the  non-English  speak- 
ing population. 

He  said  he  began  studying  the  language 
about  a  year  ago,  in  hopes  that  he  would 
receive  the  appointment.  The  lengthy  ap- 
plication process  began  in  September  with 
the  CIEU,  which  acts  as  clearinghouse  for 
Fullbright  applicants.  A  branch  of  the  State 
Department  chooses  names  from  this  pool 
and  sends  them  to  the  Chinese  university 
for  final  selection. 

Ford  said  Nanjing  University  received  his 
name  in  December,  but  did  not  make  its 
selection  until  April.  Two  or  three  other  ap- 
plicants will  also  teach  at  the  university  and 
about  20-25  teachers  total  will  lecture  in 
various  Chinese  cities  during  the  1988-89 
academic  year,  which  begins  in  August. 


Dr.  Art  Ford  '59,  professor  of  English,  has  received  his 
second  Fulbright  professorship  and  will  teach 
American  literature  in  China  this  fall. 


Ford  will  attend  a  briefing  on  his  trip  in 
Washington,  D.C.,  in  June. 

"We're  looking  forward  to  living  in 
another  culture.  There's  an  excitement,  an 
adrenalin  factor,"  Ford  said.  "You  do  live  a 
little  bit  more  on  the  edge." 

But  Ford  speaks  of  his  trip  with  the  calm 
assuredness  of  a  seasoned  veteran. 
Although  the  modestly-decorated  office  of 
this  English  Department  chairman,  tucked 
at  the  top  of  a  narrow  stairway  in  the  aging, 
pale  green  house  on  College  Avenue  is 
miles  away  from  his  exotic  destination,  Ford 
said  he  won't  be  lonely  in  his  new  home. 

"While  our  children  don't  go  with  us  for 
the  year... we  expect  them  all  to  visit  us 
while  we're  in  China,"  he  said,  recalling 
that  he  and  his  wife  had  35-40  houseguests 
during  their  stay  in  Syria.  "It's  fun  showing 
people  around." 

Although  Mary  Ellen  Ford,  who  works 
with  the  Retired  Senior  Volunteers  Pro- 
gram, has  no  immediate  plans  for  her  year 
in  China,  Ford  said  she  has  taken  a  course 
in  Chinese. 

"She's  not  the  sort  to  sit  down,  just  sit 
back  and  tend  the  apartment,"  he  said. 
"She's  been  working  with  the  elderly  for  a 
number  of  years.  It  will  be  interesting  to  see 
the  difference  in  the  treatment  and  the  at- 
titude toward  the  elderly  in  Chinese  socie- 
ty" 

Ford  noted  that  the  Chinese  have  tradi- 
tionally had  great  respect  for  the  elderly. 

They  also  hold  their  teachers  in  high 
regard,  he  said. 

"Chinese  students  are  reluctant  to  speak 
out  in  class.  They  prefer  lectures,"  Ford 
said. 


Like  many  American  college  professors, 
Ford  said  he  prefers  to  interact  with 
students. 

"That  will  be  one  of  the  challenges,"  he 
said. 

As  an  American,  however,  Ford  should 
have  little  trouble  sparking  interest  in  his 
class. 

"They  have  a  tremendous  interest  in 
English  as  a  language  and  anything  related 
to  American  culture  and  American 
literature  since  the  opening  up  of  China  10 
years  ago,"  Ford  said,  noting  that  the 
Cultural  Revolution  from  1966-76  virtually 
destroyed  the  infrastructure  of  higher 
education. 

"A  whole  generation  of  children  did  not 
receive  any  kind  of  higher  education.  They 
have  been,  in  the  last  10  years,  building  an 
educational  system.  For  me,  it  will  be  quite 
interesting  to  see  what  it's  like,"  he  said. 

Ford  said  he  doesn't  believe  Chinese 
students  will  have  as  many  misconceptions 
about  America,  because  they  have  had 
relatively  little  exposure  to  American 
television. 

"Most  students  in  Syria  thought  all 
Americans  were  like  the  people  in  'Dallas.' 
I  had  to  convince  my  Syrian  students  that  I 
was  not  wealthy,"  he  said.  "Literature  is  a 
way  of  introducing  them  to  the  culture.  Ill 
probably  take  a  much  broader  cultural  ap- 
proach." 

Ford  is  quick  to  add,  however,  that  his 
world  travels  have  also  corrected  his  own 
misconceptions  and,  in  some  way,  those  of 
other  area  residents. 

Since  their  return  from  Damascus  in 
1985,  the  Fords  have  had  nearly  85  speak- 
ing engagements  with  various  church  and 
community  organizations  in  Lebanon,  Lan- 
caster and  Dauphin  counties.  Ford  said  he 
hopes  many  of  the  groups  invite  them  back 
when  they  return  from  China  next  year. 

"We  let  them  know  that  people  are  peo- 
ple and  people  are  individuals  and  it's  not  a 
good  idea  to  lump  them  into  one  category," 
Ford  said. 

"It  was  informative  in  a  sense  that  they 
got  beyond  the  headlines  of  the  Middle 
East  and  got  to  see  people  as  people.  In- 
directly, it  might  have  helped  a  lot  of  people 
in  a  very  small  way  to  understand  that 
Syrians  or  Israelis  or  English  or  Chinese 
are,  first  of  all,  people  like  us.  And  if  you 
see  people  as  people,  you're  not  as  likely  to 
hate." 

Ford,  a  1959  graduate  of  LVC,  earned  his 
master's  degree  and  doctorate  at  Bowling 
Green  University,  Ohio,  and  taught  at 
Heidelberg  College  from  1961-65  before 
coming  to  LVC.

LVC  Women  Break 
Six  Records 

The  women's  track  and  field  team  had  a 
very  successful  season  this  year  breaking 
six  College  records  and  finishing  seventh 
overall  in  the  Middle  Atlantic  Conference 
(MAC). 

Sophomore  Michele  Grube  set  a  College 
record  in  the  100  meter  dash  with  a  time  of 
13.3  seconds  at  the  Towson  State  meet. 

Sue  Yingst  high  jumped  5'  2"  at  the 
Millersville  Metrics  meet  to  tie  another  LVC 
standard. 

At  the  MAC  Championship,  Western 
Maryland  College,  the  team  broke  a  total  of 
five  additional  records: 

--Freshman  Tricia  Haeusler  broke  the 
College  triple  jump  record  placing  eighth 
overall  in  the  conference  at  32'  2Vi" . 

-The  1600  meter  relay  team  (Tricia 
Haeusler,  junior  Sue  Yingst,  sophomore 
Joann  Giannettino,  and  junior  Cindy 
Sladek)  finished  fourth  overall  in  the  con- 
ference and  shattered  the  College  record 
with  a  time  of  4:08.99  seconds. 

—In  the  long  jump,  Joann  Giannettino 
established  a  new  College  record  at  17'  1%" 
and  finished  fourth  in  the  conference. 
Giannettino  also  broke  the  College  400 
meter  hurdles  record  and  finished  second 
overall  in  the  conference  with  a  time  of 
1:06.17-  just  .70  shy  of  qualifying  for  the 
National  Collegiate  Athletic  Association 
(NCAA)  meet. 

-Cindy  Sladek  established  a  new  College 
800  meter  dash  record  and  finished  first 
overall  in  the  MAC  with  a  time  of  2:17.28. 
Sladek  also  finished  just  .70  shy  of  the 
qualifying  for  the  NCAA  meet. 

Other  finishes  at  the  MAC  Champion- 
ship included:  Sladek's  fifth  place  in  the 
1500  meter  dash  (4:54.31);  sophomore  Sue 
Partilla's  seventh  place  in  the  javelin  (107'); 
Yingst 's  9th  place  in  the  long  jump  (15'  8"); 
and  sophomore  Maria  Fenty's  tenth  place 
intheshotput(28'5"). 

The  team  finished  their  dual  meet  season 
with  a  4-4  record. 

With  such  strong  underclass  perfor- 
mances, Coach  Jodi  Foster  is  extremely  op- 
timistic about  the  team's  potential  for  the 
future.  "Everyone  will  be  returning  next 
year-we  should  have  at  least  two  members 
of  the  team  going  to  the  national  meet." 


Reichenbach  Has  Strong 
Performance  at  Millersville 
Invitational 

Dan  Reichenbach,  Allentown,  PA,  was 
the  only  member  of  the  LVC  men's  track 
and  field  team  to  place  at  the  10th  annual 
Millersville  Metrics  College  Track  and  Field 
Invitational.  The  sophomore  co-captain 
won  the  long  jump  competition  in  22'  8%", 
tied  for  fourth  in  the  high  jump  at  6'  3", 
and  placed  seventh  in  the  triple  jump  at  43 
feet.  The  men's  track  and  field  team  finish- 
ed the  season  with  a  2-8  dual  meet  record.

Softball  Team  Fourth  in 
MAC  Southwest  League 

The  women's  Softball  team  defeated 
Washington  College  19-8  to  finish  fourth  in 
the  MAC  Southwest  League  with  a  3-6 
record.  The  team  was  led  by  two  freshmen, 
Jen  Leitao,  Pocomoke,  MD,  and  Caprece 
Carrington,  New  Haven,  CT.  Leitao  went  4 
for  4  with  4  runs  batted  in.  Carrington

overall  record. 

Baseball  Finishes  Strong 

The  baseball  team  finished  strong  with  4 
wins  in  their  last  6  games  to  conclude  with 
an  overall  record  of  18-19.  The  Hying  Dutch- 
men closed  out  their  campaign  with  a  split 
against  Moravian.  LVC  lost  2-1  in  the  first 
game,  but  came  back  to  win  the  nightcap 
8-5.  LVC  finished  in  fifth  place  of  the  MAC 
Southwest  with  a  4-6  record.  The  future 
looks  very  strong  for  the  Valley  with  the 
loss  of  only  two  seniors,  Lance  Shaffer, 
Elizabethville,  PA,  and  Chris  Smith, 
Lebanon,  PA. 


Golf  Team  Ends  Season  at 
.500  Mark 

The  men's  golf  team  ended  the  1988 
season  with  a  record  of  7-7.  In  their  final 
triangular,  LVC  defeated  Widener  418-455, 
but  lost  to  Delaware  Valley  416-418. 
Freshman  Jeff  Randazzo,  West  Wyoming, 
PA,  shot  his  lowest  round  of  the  year,  77,  to 
lead  the  Flying  Dutchmen.  He  was  follow- 
ed by  two  freshmen,  Tom  Giovinazzo  (80), 
Boyertown,  PA,  and  Chris  Arnold  (82),  Col- 
legeville,  PA.  Rounding  out  the  top  five 
scores  were  junior  Andy  Potter  (89),  Selins- 
grove,  PA,  and  sophomore  Tony  Buglio 
(90),  Harrisburg,  PA.  With  all  five  starters 
returning,  the  golf  team  expects  a  winning 
season  in  1989.

and  medical  scientist,  Schmidt  devoted 
more  than  three  and  one-half  decades 
to  the  work  of  extending  the  boundaries 
of  society's  knowledge  of  pharmacology 
and  physiology. 

Starting  in  1919  as  an  instructor  in  phar- 
macology at  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania, he  rose  quickly  to  the  chairman- 
ship of  this  department.  During  his  nearly 
40  years  at  Penn,  Dr.  Schmidt  traveled  to 
all  parts  of  the  world  and  is  credited 
with  a  number  of  significant  medical 
achievements.  He  worked  tirelessly  to 
advance  the  science  of  pharmacology  both 
as  a  past  president  of  the  American  Society 
for  Pharmocology  and  Experimental 
Therapeutics,  and  as  former  editor  of 
the  Journal  of  Pharmacology.  His  stature  as 
a  medical  scientist  was  recognized  with 
his  election  into  the  National  Academy 
of  Sciences. 

In  1922,  Schmidt  worked  with  Dr.  K.K. 
Chen  to  discover  ephedrine,  the  first  drug 
that  could  be  taken  through  the  mouth  to 
relieve  symptoms  of  hay  fever  and  asthma. 
The  drug  is  still  in  use  today.  During  World 
War  II,  he  served  as  a  member  of  the  Na- 
tional Research  Council's  Subcommittee  on 
Oxygen  and  Anoxia  and  later  as  consultant 
to  the  Surgeons  General  of  the  U.S.  Army 
and  Navy,  as  chairman  of  the  Advisory 
Committee  of  Life  Insurance  Medical 
Research  Fund,  and  as  a  member  of  the 
Committee  on  Basic  Science  of  the 
American  Heart  Association. 

He  was  presented  the  LVC  Distinguished 
Alumnus  Award  in  1977  by  the  College's 
Alumni  Association. 

Schmidt  was  husband  to  the  late 
Elizabeth  Gruber  Schmidt  '18  and  is  survived 
by  his  son,  Carl  F.  Schmidt  Jr.,  his 
daughter,  Barbara  deLong,  5  grand- 
children, and  one  great  grandchild. 

Dr.  William  N.  Martin  '18,  retired 
educator  and  religious  leader,  died  April  3 
in  Oxford,  PA. 

After  receiving  his  B.A.  and  M.A. 
degrees  in  biology  from  LVC,  he  served  as  a 
missionary  for  the  Church  of  the  United 
Brethern  in  Christ,  later  the  United 
Methodist  Church,  in  Sierra  Leone.  He  was 
principal  of  the  Albert  Academy  and 
undertook  extensive  field  research  in  the 
West  African  interior,  collecting  biological 
specimens  for  the  College  and  the 
Smithsonian  Institution. 

In  1934,  Martin  received  a  second  M.A. 
from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  and  in 
1944  an  Ed.D.  from  Teachers  College  of 


Columbia  University.  His  doctoral  disserta- 
tion on  "Government  Service  Abroad  after 
the  War"  contributed  to  the  development  of 
the  "Point  4  Technical  Assistance  Program." 
He  developed  a  workshop  in  Wallingford 
for  the  Biddle  Foundation  to  train  mis- 
sionaries in  techniques  of  inexpensive 
home  construction  for  foreign  fields  and 
the  American  South.  He  also  founded  an 
independent  Christian  Service  Training 
Center  at  Frostproof,  Florida,  which  train- 
ed government  workers  and  Christian 
volunteers  for  assistance  to  develop- 
ing nations. 

Dr.  Martin  received  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion's Distinguished  Alumnus  Award 
in  1985. 

Martin  is  survived  by  his  wife,  Edna 
Dolland  Martin,  who  received  an  Honorary 
Degree  from  the  College  at  the  1988 
Commencement  ceremonies  on  May  8.  He 
is  also  survived  by  three  children, 
John  Paul  Martin,  Grace  E.  Martin,  and 
Joseph  Martin. 


Mrs.  Edna  Dolland  Martin  visited  the  campus  in  April 
to  plant  a  tree  in  memory  of  her  late  husband, 
Dr.  William  N.  Martin  '18.
