We One

The answer came written on slips of paper ina selective student survey.It came verbally through brainstorming. It came embellished with philosophy,tersewith simplicity, and substantiated by examples.

"What was different about LBC's 79 -'80school year?"

However it came, the answer was the same.

"We are One."

W e are On e . . . As a Unit

More than ever before, LBC seemed together, moving as a whole. The student body rolled up their sleevesforthe Red Cross Blood Drive.They pitched pennies intoa fund which purchased a surprise appreciations giftfor Dean Dobson. They threw their politicalpunch into opposing SALT II and ERA, They dressed inclothes from another era on 50's day. They presented LBC's first musicalplay.

Just as a winning team is composed of many welltrained members, so LBC consists of hundreds of sharp,uniquely talented individuals.They expressed theirindividuality by becoming involved in groups reflecting their own special interests. Some sang their way across the country,or were activein the politically minded YAF. They participated inthe sermon contest,trekked

Karate Club.

We are One -..

As Individuals through foreign countries, and talked chop in

It is thistight interweaving of strong,individual livesthat makes LBC's student body solid.Thisyear,more than ever before,bothin uniqueness and unity, "We are One."

In Uniqueness and Unity, W e are On e

Holliday wins LBC Pageant

Georgi Holliday, a 21-year-old senior from Philadelphia,Pa., was crowned Miss Liberty 1979 -80 in the second annual pageant There were 27girls who competed inthisyear's pageant, which washeld inthe TRBC auditorium.

"Ireally thought some of the other girlswould win I thought I was dreaming Infact, throughout the night I kept waiting for my roommate Robbi towake me up or forthe alarm clock to ring," Georgi said afterwards.

The pageant wasco-hosted by Student Body President Daniel Henderson andKaren Morrison,a former Miss USA. During the week preceding the pageant, Karen spent time practicing with thegirls and giving them tipson such things ashowtoapply make-up, how towalk on a runway, and how toprevent nervousness

Georgi said that duringthe pagent she kept looking for her parents inhopes that itwould take her mind off being nervous. "But itreally didn't help at all," she confessed Thisyear's pageant wasquite unlike anything before atLBC.

"Thiswasasgood assomething I would have paid $25 to see," said TimDuVall,a sophomore from Orlando,Fla Thegeneral concensus among the students was that the $1 admission price was well worthit.

The 27girlswere escorted by27 handsome young men dressedin black tuxedos There were spotlights,a band, a soloist, and even an ROTC honor guard from Heritage High School.Several students were heard toremark, "I justcan't believethis!"

Funny faces,tagged dates, 50's again -it'sSpirit Week!

Spirit Week atLBCwas the time when students displayed their wildest imaginations.

Held once every semester, Spirit Week included such things as Hat Day, on which everyone wore hats of allshapes,sizes,andcolors; Face Day, when students painted their faces; Slave Day, on which girls bought theirfavorite guyand made him fulfill her every command;and Sadie Hawkins Day, on which all girls could "tag" a guyfor a date.

The highlight ofthe week was '50s day, on which students dressedin the stylesoftheirparents' generation Dresses inskirts and sweaters worn by their mothers, girls also donned bobby socks, loafers, and guys' letter jackets,aswellas ponytails.Not tobe outdone, the LBC guys rolled uptheirjeans, greased back their hair andput on their leather jackets andsunglasses to relive the famous '50s

Farewell to a friend

ison

The tadium were with exuberant, screaming Falwell wasinthe press og and shouting as each point wasscored Students glanced up athimoccasionally, noted hisenthusiasm, and redoubled their cheering

Later inthe game, a change was seen inDr Falwell'sbehavior The smile wasgone,and though the Flames were ahead, his countenance wasfull ofconcern Students wondered absently what

was up when school and church officialswere paged tothepress • box They began tovoice their curiosity occasionally asthey noticed the urgent,serious manner inwhich Dr Falwell wasconversing with those whom he had paged But there wasno way ofknowing what wasgoing on,and it was probably none oftheir concern Besides,it looked liketheFlames were going towinthe game

The last second ticked off the clock,and the Flames had won, 41-20 Spectators shouted, clapped, pounded each other on

the back, andhopped upand down on the stands Thewinning of the firstgame ofthe season, along with the return toschool and the excitement ofthe first weekend after the firstweek of classes inthe school year combined andboiled over as the students cheered with abandon

Dr Falwell's voice washeard over the loud speaker,and the noise ofthe seemingly dauntless fans calmed toa lowroar. Then everything fellinto place the concern on Dr Falwell's face, the summoning ofofficialstothe press box, and thesobriety ofhisvoice as hemade the announcement

Art DeMoss hadpassed away

The shocked students lapsed quickly into silence astherest of the news wastold He had been playing tennis with members of his family that afternoon when he crumpled over on the court with a stroke,dying instantly.He had had no previous signsofheart trouble He was 53

A brief moment ofsilencewas declared,and Dr.Falwell closed in a prayer remembering theDeMoss family.Students were encouraged to stay for the fireworksdisplay

Subdued, they relaxed on the bleachers and talked quietly among themselves asthe display boomed above

Art DeMoss. How ironic that his death would be announced at a football game, for when announcing it, Dr Falwell revealed hissilent contribution toLBCsports DeMoss hadbeen the anonymous contributor whopaid for the majority ofthe gym. A close friend of Dr Falwell,a dynamic Christian witness inthe financial world,a prayer supporter and economic supporter ofLBC,and a speakerin LBC chapels over the years, DeMoss wasknown and loved by the student body

Now he was gone

Fireworks roared and blazed above the heads ofthesaddened students Some small ones only went up a short distance into the sky,then died out insignificantly Others went up ingroupsand exploded together And every once ina while,there was one which ascended high above the others,andburst through the night with a gloriousexplosion of brilliant light

And then . gone

Dean starsin Airtime

Originally begun in 1978 asanSGA campaign tactic,Airtime has become an LBC tradition.

Airtime isthe semi-annual comedy show sponsored by SGAthat launches the beginning ofevery semester. DanHenderson andRick Scharmann, president and executive vice-president ofSGA, are the masterminds behind itall "I originally conceived Airtime simply asa campaign tactic inmy firstelection to the office ofSGA president," Dan said,"but itwassowell-liked that we have made ita traditional part of every semester."

According toDan,each Airtime always involves atleast 25 staff members andtakes scores ofhours to produce. "Everything happens so fast," hesaid "that onewrong move could stunt the success ofthe entire program." Itisbecause ofthe work involved that Airtime occurs only once a semester

Thisyear Airtime's special guest was Dean Eddie Dobson, who portrayed the mosquito-weight boxer Bricky andalso exhibited his adroitness asa basketball coach and star inhisrole ofthe White Shadow

Other Airtime specials included a Tonight Show interview with the Ayatollah Khomeini,commercials for the newhair tonic Jerome's Hormones, andspecial ESP talentsby the Great Karnac,whowasnone other than DanHenderson himself, Tonight Show guest Ayatollah Khomeini (Rick Flowers) is escorted away tobe held hostage

Whatever the reason,they've united with the group that's making jogging LBC's most popular pastime.

At almost any hour of the day or night one can find an LBC jogger. Itseems they're always huffing and puffing around campus. Joggers can be seem running infairweather,the worst downpour, and even ina Virginia snowstorm

When asked why he jogged, one faculty member said,"Idoit because I know I should,not because I really enjoy it.I really haven't developed the runner's mentality yet Itstill bugs me to be stumbling around the track and have a 19-year old girlwhizpast."

"Ijog because itgives me time to be alone and to mentally examine my thoughts," one student said."Idon't jog because I likeitbut because I likewhatit does forme."

Labor Day dawned wet and rainy last September

But the rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of students who turned out for a fun-filled day of Mass Mania

After getting over theinitial shock of playing outdoor games in the rain, the four competing classes began to enjoy the event.

SGA members searched for weeks trying to come up with different and unusual games to play Some of these were: Human Croquet, Blind Man's Chase, Crab Soccer,Greased Watermelon, and various water races. Winding up the day was a steeple-chase on campus that contained approximately 40 different events Inspite of the weather Mass Mania turned out to be an exciting time for allinvolved. Said Deb Austin,a sophomore from Maryland, "Seeing everybody get loose and fancy-free was exciting for me! It was fun just being ourselves."

Snores were heard echoing down the hallas students cramming for exams were enveloped inthe spell of the infamous Rack Monster

Although coffee was administered to the victims,it was to no avail as students succumbed to the muchneeded sleep.

The Rack Monster,a notorious figure at LBC,isoften talked about. Allyear,students used phraseslike "The Rack's got me," or "I'm having a Rack attack."

The Rack Monster attacksjust about anywhere. He strikes students inthe shower,those waiting inlong lines, those sitting around between classes,and those up late at night The Rack Monster's specialty, however, is tempting a student to fallwithin hisclutches during classes. Yes, the Rack Monster is definitely a threat to the 4.0 GPA parents sometimes expect.

Although plenty of students yield to thisbeast,many attempt defensive tactics which may throw the Rack Monster off-guard. Taking a cold shower,doing exercises and drinking coffee are allpopular methods used.

"I sit at my desk or on the hard floor when I'm studying,so that I won't be tempted to liedown and fall asleep," one student said. "Then Isplash some cold water inmy face and hope I can stay awake."

Ina survey taken during thefall semester,most students admitted to a usual 4-5 hours of sleep a night with littleor no time for afternoon naps. As one student put it, "At most state colleges,students can sleep all weekend , but here at LBC we have other Christian responsibilities to attend to " Another student said "Ihave a heavy schedule, but l like all I'm doing an d don't want to give u p any of it "

Student Life - Rock Monster/27

Students enjoy off-hours

Off-hours at LBC are used to pursue a variety of different pastimes.

A major pastime on campusis washing and ironingclothes. Contrary to most parents' thoughts,thisisNOT the way students liketo spend theirfree time.Usually saved untilthe weekend or untilitcan be put off no longer,itisdone only as a necessity — that of keeping roommates happy

Once the clothes are finished, students readily find more pleasant ways to spend theirtime. These include such activities as writing letters,attending basketball games,and the most cherished of all — sleep!

Spare time at LBC ismost likely to be found on the weekend. Therefore,most activities are planned around weekends Late skates and late bowls,two things students enjoy most on Friday nights inLynchburg,were held almost every weekend throughout the year.

Other pastimes included playing Uno inthe Dorm 13 lounge, popping popcorn inthe hallfor a snack,having snowball battles on Saturday afternoons,and,of course, studying!

NTLY INCONSISTENT

Lynchburg weather isconsistently inconsistent. Sometimes bright sunshine,sometimes pouring rain, sometimes blankets of snow — and sometimes all three!

Although the weather itself is usually unpredictable,onethingis almost always predictable — rain! Lynchburg, lovingly referred to as Drenchburg by students,frequently experiences rain

After waiting 15minutes for abus inthe rain on hisfirstSunday atLBC, one student said,"Iwasexpecting rain,but not floods. Before I came, the Admissions Office sent a letter advising me tobring an umbrella

because they said itrained alot Boy, what an understatement!"

Days of sunshine are always welcomed by students. Afternoons are usually spent outdoors doing such things as jogging, relaxing with friends,or enjoying a game of Frisbee The sunshine even provides students with a chance tostudy outside.

Snow also brings a welcome change tothe campus. On a snowy day, the campus isalways a scene of activity asafternoons orevenings are filled with snowball battles and sliding down the hills.

Well-known speakersvisit LBC

PhyllisSchlafly,recently voted one ofthe tenmost admired women inthe nation ina survey taken by a leading women's magazine, visited LBClast year and informed students on a major issue intoday's political arena: the Equal Rights Ammendment. During chapel services in which she wasenthusiastically received with twostanding ovations, the anti-ERA activist told students that the opponents ofthe Equal Rights Ammendment hadovercome"the most tremendous odds of any political battle of the 20th century" intheirsuccessful opposition toratification of the ammedment

A mother of sixchildrenwho had recently earned her law degree, Mrs. Schlafly said that "one of the realmotivations" behind support for the Equal Rights Amendment wasthe fact that it would grant sweeping new powers for the federal government. "One ofthe biggest pushes behind ERA," she said, "has come from the Executive Branch

of the government." Former Senator Sam Ervin has said that 70 per cent ofthe power that still resides inthe state governments would shifttothe federal government.

Mrs Schlafly said that the effect of ERA, ifpassed, would be to put alllaws into a computer which would "kick out sexist wordsin favor ofsex-neutral words." These sexist words would include man, woman, husband, wife andother such designations

One effect ofthiswould be to make unconstitutional the United States draft lawwhich exempts women from compulsory military service.Itwould also nullify laws exempting women from combat duty

"It'sabsolutely contemptible for a nation tosend itswomen into combat," she said,"but this would be a definite effect ofERA."

Mrs. Schlafly said that any sex designation ina lawwould have to be removed, "nomatter how reasonable it is."

Joni Eareckson,a quadriplegic and the author oftwobest-selling Christian books,visited LBC this year topromote her new motion picture about the accident that lefther paralyzed from the neck down.

Miss Eareckson spoke tochurch services atTRBC precedingthe second premiere ofher motion picture which washeld hereat LBC. The motion picture, produced by World Wide Pictures,starsMiss Eareckson as herself.

When asked about her role in the film Miss Eareckson said, "It brought back some painful memories. However, I guess reliving my lifebefore the cameras helped me torelearn,rethink, and reappreciate allthe things I went throught togetwhere I am now."

The film wasshown three times inoneweekend to packed audiences andeach time it was enthusiastically received. "I have seen andheard many Christian testimonies," Dr C Sumner Wemp said,"but I do not believe one has influenced my lifemore than Joni Eareckson's."

Although handicapped, They have no limitations

Vaughan Terell has a wife and three children, a law degree from Atlanta Law School,and has served on the Georgia State Legislature

Vaughan Terellis blind

At 10 years of age he lost his sightina dynamite explosion and from there went to the Academy forthe Blind to finish school

While at the Academy forthe Blind, Vaughan Terellthought it was wrong that he be segregated from the 99.8 per cent of the population who had their sight

Believing that he deserved a chance likeanyone else, he then entered the Atlanta Law School where he passed the bar exam afterhis freshman year,a feat many would beproudto accomplish

He was admitted to the bar two months later, tried his firstcase afterone month,and won.

Vaughan Terellwas elected to the State Legislature in 1949 and, because he wanted to help others who were handicapped, he organized the Factories forthe BlindinGeorgia,where more than 200 blind people were employed.

"Itwas the highest paying and most successful job establishment forblind people," he said

After running the Factoriesfor the Blind forfive years, he returned to hislaw practice where he then tried cases in28 states.

Inanother effort to help the handicapped, Terell started a boat factory He bought old Navy boats and converted them into shrimp and fishing boats, and then hired handicapped people to run them.

He isnow writinghis autobiography and taking refresher courses at LBC His goal? To become a spokesman for the handicapped.

"Blind people are just people, and they have talentsjust like anyone else," he said

On the subject of his blindness, Vaughan Terell does not feel heis handicapped at all,

"Inever lost my sight,"he said, "just my physical sight.I stillhave 75 per cent of my sight — insight, hindsight, and foresight."

Peter was saved during the nine months he spent inthe hospital after hisaccident. Lying flat on his back forfour of those months, he recalled,"Inever knew what being paralyzed was,but I looked down at my body and realized I would never walk again."

"Before my accident," Peter said,"Iwas independent of others.Now, inmy wheelchair,I've had to learn to become more dependent on people and on the Lord."

Peter feels the Lord has played a major role inhisacceptance of hishandicap. When people approach him about it,he responds "assertive and nice.""I always try to answer their questions," he said

Peter does not consider himself to be "handicapped." As a matter of fact,he boasts of being able to do what other people cannot

"Ican go through mud puddles and not get wet Sometimes when I'm ina good mood," he said,"Ieven do wheelies."

Yet there are some things difficultfor him,such as going up steps

"Ican go down stepsalright," he said "But some things that are easy for others are much more difficultfor me. I either find a way or ask someone to help me, with no sense ofpride."

Pam Humble,a junior from Waynesboro, Pa.,was born deaf

After attending Gallaudet College, a preparatory school for the deaf, she transferred to LBC.

Pam went to a regular public high school and was saved two and a half years ago. Although she isunable to hear,she can read lipswell and isalso able to speak

"Since I've come to LBC," she said,"people have shown me that I'm not different from them. I've learned to accept my deafness.

Majoring in elementary education, Pam hopes to pursue a master's degree indeaf education inorder to be qualified to work with others who are deaf.

"A lotof people are afraid to talk to me because they don't know sign language," she said, "but my close friends treat me just liketheir otherfriends."

Pam does not consider herself to be "handicapped."

Chapel was usually unusual

Held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday,chapel atLBC was usuallyunusual.

"Almost anything canhappenin chapel," onestudent said "I've heard everything from a story about pineapples (with a correlated Bible application,ofcourse)toafullfledged facultyrecital."

"You never know what's going to happen inchapel," another student said "Ilikethe unusual variety that we've hadinchapel thisyear It keeps youguessing."

LBC students heard a wide variety of speakers thisyear including such notables asPastor William Freel from England,Dr. Joseph Tan,a Rumanian who heads the largest Baptist church InRumania, Jimmy DeYoung with the Word ofLifeSingers,andnationally known author Dr. TimLaHaye, aswell as LBC's own Dean Eddie Dobson and,ofcourse.Chancellor Jerry Falwell

INTERESTING INTERNATIONALS

Representing many countries from allover the globe,LBC's international students are also some ofitsmost interesting students Here are a few of them and their stories:

A few years ago. InBae Park was an artist, an international student from Seoul,South Korea, studying inthe United States with plans to continue hisart education InEurope.

But then came an accident, one that lefthim physically, mentally,and emotionally troubled InBae lost hisdesire to paint

"Iwasn't satisfied with painting," he said."God took allthat desire away."

Now InBae isat LBC studying forthe ministry with a vision to reach Orientals inLos Angeles

InBae is working with Youth Aflame Outreach teams, translating songs into Korean language for the singers.In Bae also assistsininterpreting for the teams that travel to Korea each summer

Through Youth Aflame Outreach, he has had an opportunity to visithisfather each summer for the past three years.

InBae isnow pastoring the Korean Baptist Church of Roanoke

The relaxed atmosphere in American colleges makes studying "easier and more pleasurable," according to Marcia Wong, a sophomore from Taiwan.

"In Taiwan you go to school from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and they push you very hard to study and make good grades," she said

Marcia has lived inthe United States forthree years,and heard about LBC through her church youth group.

She said some of the cultural differences between Taiwan and the U.S were shocking

"New York City isso big and crowded; I never saw so many people," Marcia said,"but Virginia Ispretty with lotsof hills. I didn't know ifI was inthe same country."

She said people livemuch closer together inTaiwan and they are more friendly.

She said she feels pressed by the language inTaiwan, but "it's hard to think of the right wordsin American," she said

Marcia said she isused to American culture,but willnever consider herself to be an American.

After graduation shewill probably stay inthe United States for a while,though she would some day liketo go back to Taiwan.

Mark Demos,a private inthe Rhodesian army, firstheard of Liberty Baptist College when he was assigned as military escort to a SMITE team touring hiscountry Mark liked what he heard about the school from the visiting students. Now he's a freshman pastoral counseling major herein Lynchburg

Mark says that lifein Lynchburg isquite a change from that ofhis native country.

Aside from obvious differences likethe fact that churchgoers must take machine guns to church fortheir own protection inwartorn Rhodesia — Mark says that "lifeinRhodesia ismuch slower than lifeinLynchburg."

Mark plans to return to Rhodesia upon graduation.

"My country has the world's highest divorce rate,and a high alcoholism rate,"he said "There willreally be a need for counseling to help straighten things out when the war isover."

Every year many students come from places likeAfrica, the Bahamas, the Philippines, and other parts ofthe world toget an education atLiberty Baptist College. Vernell Thurston isone of thesestudents

Vernell,a sophomore, was introduced toLiberty Baptist College when Dr. Jerry Falwell spoke ata meeting inher home town ofNassau,Bahamas. She had always wanted toattend college,but she didn't want to go to a state school When she heard about LBCanditshighBiblical standards,Vernell knew this was where the Lord wanted her.

The firstyear inthe United States wasa difficultone for Vernell There were cultural differences toovercome, butone of the biggest adjustmentsto make wasinthe educational system.

Inthe Bahamas,the children are taught under theBritish system A seriesof examsare taken during the 12years of school,andthese exams have a great influence on a student's position.Vernell findsthe American form of education considerably easier,but she prefers theBritish because she feelsonecanlearn more.

With a major inEnglish Education and a minor ineither speech or drama, Vernell willbe prepared to return toNassau topursue a career inteaching English

"There isa great need for Christian schools,"she said. "The children need someone that they can look up to. They need a deeper understanding ofbasic Biblical principles."

A country enveloped in antiquity,Nepal still holds thetitle of the world's most underdeveloped nation.

Pagoda-roofed Buddhist and Hindu temples interrupt the skyline as the eyes on a domed mosque maintain their timeless gaze on the valley of Kathmandhu.

Thisland of intriguing simplicity and beauty isthe home of Ellshaba Pradhan, a freshman biology major at LBC

Two things that impressed Ellshaba when she arrived at LBC were the "red mud" and Liberty Mountain itself.

"When they said mountain," she said,"Ithought they meant a BIG mountain."

Thisisunderstandable, because the valley inwhich Elishaba lives liesinthe shadow of the Himilayan Mountains which contain Mt. Everest,the world's highest peak.

Of all the culture changes that Elishaba had to adapt to, the most significant was American food. InNepal the basic diet consists of rice with curry,spices and vegetables. Meat isn'teaten, since itisagainst the law to kill cows, which are held as sacred and are allowed to walk the streets freely.Over a Wendy's hamburger Elishaba said,"If my friends back home saw me eating this,they wouldn't speak to me."

Hinduism and Buddhism are the main religions inNepal,and the present government has made it Illegalfor a person to change his religion.

"For becoming a Christian," Elishaba said,"they willput you in prison for nine months,and for preaching it's three years."

Elishaba's father,Prem Pradhan, maintains a special ministry back in Nepal. He adopts unwanted orphans and becomes theirlegal parent,thus making itpossible for them to become Christians Elishaba said her father has over 100 orphans now, many who live on their ancestral farm inthe country.

Elishaba's father has also been jailed numerous times forhis Christianwitness.

"The firsttime he was inprison forfour years,"Elishaba said, "the government closed the school leaving many of the children to run homeless."

Elishaba came to LBC through the reference of the Christian Aid Society,a Charlottesville-based mission board that works with her father as an indigenous missionary. Along with her studies,Elishaba works with the Good News Clubs She also has a brother who is studying at American Universityin Washington. D.C.

Students work out education

They're all over Lynchburg — working odd hours,eating on the run, studying during the wee hours of the morning and catching catnaps when they can

They're LBCstudents And they're working their way through school

Some run perpetually behind, but others saythe experienceof working has helped them to budget theirtime Some seem never to catch up on theirsleep, but others value the responsibility that theirjob has taught them Most all enjoy meeting new people,gaining work experience, and finding opportunitiesto witness on thejob

Here are justa fewof the hundreds ofworking students:

Cleaning bed pans, changing sheets,making rounds every two hours,administering juices,taking temperatures,and losing sleep all go into the daily routine of Michael Plunk,LBC student by day and Camelot Nursing Home orderly by night

"Ithought there was no way that I could work from 11 p.m to 7 a.m." Mike said.He carried a full academic load along with hisjob, so working out a schedule to meet hisstudy needs and to get enough sleepis sometimes difficult One way Mike attempts to get the most out ofhis classes isto tape the lectures and listento them at a time when heis more alert.

There isa continual variety of new things to learn on the job One thing that brings him pleasure isto see the care he has given patients do them some immediate good by making them more comfortable.

Reflecting on the most substantial thing he has learned while working at Camelot, Mike said,"God's willwon't

lead you where Hisgrace won't sustain you."

"There have also been many opportunities to witness to fellow employees, but many get on the offensive when they hear you are from LBC," Mike said.

"Ifeel my greatest accomplishment at work has been being accepted as an LBC student, Mike said."Ifeel that now that I have a job there I have even that much more responsibility to do my best not only as a Christian but as an LBC student."

Working with older people has always been something Mike has been comfortable with as he has worked with the Jolly Sixtiesat Thomas Road and at his home church

"People are people no matter how old they are Allof them need love and it's love that wins them over," Mike said.

Mike isthinking seriously about opening hisown nursing home as a ministry after college

Steve Grandstaff,a junior from Staunton, Va.,isa self-employed mechanic on campus. He works on cars forother students. Grandstaff,who works from 15-20 hours a week, says the money is not that important "Ienjoy working with my hands to relieve myself of allthe pressures of schoolwork and studies," he said.

Working conditions vary as often as the weather. "Ionce promised to fixa girl'scar on Saturday It snowed allFriday night,and she came down the next morning asking ifI had fixed ityet,so in 12 inches of snow I did." Steve believes hisworking experiences willpay off inthe future "I can always use my abilitiesto keep church buses running for a Sunday School ministry.Besides,it always saves me money to fixmy own car," he added.

Steve's repair rates aren't very high either He says he often works on students'cars for free because they can't afford it Inmany cases Steve,who gets parts at a discount from a shop intown, charges only what he pays for the parts.

"Ifeel the Lord has blessed me for blessing others with my Godgiven abilities,"he said.

Twila Jack,a freshman from Brandywine, Md.,has a unique characteristic She's the fifthchild inher family to attend LBC.She's also a town student.

"I've never lived on campus," she said "I'm presently livingwith my brother and sister in Madison Heights."

Twila would definitely liketo be involved inmany of the activities but cannot always attend allthe ones she would like to.

"Because our house isabout a half-hour'sdrive from LBC,I'm not able to really be involved I try to get involved inactivitiesas often as possible,but the activitiesthat consume most of my time seem to be going to classes and studying."

Twila enjoys livingoff campus

"Everyone should live on campus for awhile," said Sam Wilson,a senior from Lynchburg, Va. "You grow a lotthrough the fellowship and constant teaching."

Sam knows.He's lived both on campus and off And he's enjoyed both

"There's more freedom of lifestyleoff campus," he said."For instance,I am a nocturnal person I really don't wake up until 10 p.m. I study best between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m I couldn't study at those hours inthe dorms — my roommates would've killed me —but I can at home."

Sam livesat home inLynchburg with hismother and sister.He pays rent,buys hisown food,and says itscheaper than living inthe dorms

Janelle Wipf isone town student who would liketo become more involved instudentlife, The freshman from Forest,Va., says that although she does not get to attend allstudent activities because of work conflicts,she feelsthat SGA isdoing the best job possible inincluding town students instudentactivities

"Off-campus students need more incentive to come to the functions," she said,"but that lack of incentive certainly cannot be blamed on SGA The off-campus student has to be the one that wants to be involved He has to go to the activities; they won't come to him."

Planning to move on campus in the fallof '80,Janelle said,"I have never lived on campus,but I think

"I've enjoyed it," she said, "because I've had more time to study and prepare for classes. Ithas also enabled me to assume various responsibilities inthe home which I feel willbe important to me inyears to come."

Twila feelsan effort must be made on the part of the town student ifhe wishes to become involved incampuslife

"A void existsfor the town student inthe social aspect." she said,"In order to make new acquaintances and gain new friends,an off campus student must exert a genuine effort.Since he isnot always around the other students,itiseasy for him to be a recluse inhisown littleworld."

"Plus,"

he said,"Ienjoy the atmosphere more."

Sam feelsthat all students, whether on campus or oft, can be involved instudent life Although he works 25-35 hours a week, he still attends concerts, football games, and late skates.He feels hisjob as an LBC bus driver is beneficial inhisbeing able to become involved

"Being an LBC bus driver enables me to get more involved than I otherwise would," he said.

Sam said he sometimesfelt excluded from student lifebut commented, "A town student can control hisseclusion,or lack of it, to a large degree —it's allup to him."

the off-campus student does miss out on student life Ifyou aren't around other students and don't livewith them 24 hours a day, I don't think you can actually experience student life. For example, eating meals inthe cafeteria isdefinitely a part of student lifethat isimportant, if only for the socialreasons. Meeting people and getting to know them isa definite advantage the on-campus student has over the off-campus student."

As far as advantages foroffcampus students,Janelle said, "Having the comforts of home is always an advantage."

Some students want to live at the hotel.Some definietely do not. John Fields left the decision up to the Lord.

"Ileftthe decision to the Lord and the deans They knew what was best for me," said the 20year-old sophomore.

Since moving to the hotel,John, a math major from Washington Court House,Ohio, discovered several advantages to living at the hotel

"The hotel isa lot closer to the library and that isa definite advantage," he said. Other advantages include the familytype unity between students and the availability of downtown shopping facilities

Although he does enjoy living at the hotel, John plans on moving to the mountain next year.

"It'sbecause of the time factor," he said "Sometimes I never get back to the hoteluntil late at night.Also,a lot of timeis spent riding buses." His main reason though, he confessed, is because the mountain isa lot closer to hisgirlfriend'shouse

"Ifeel there isa closer student unity at the hotel,"said Becky Pruett,a freshman from Haines City,Fla. "We alllive inthe same building;we alleat together,ride buses together, and share together I guess you could say we are a family!"

Becky remembered that originally her plans were not to live at the hotel.

"Iwillnever forget how my heart sank when I heard the word 'hotel'at check-in Now I thank God for placing me there. If I would not have had that closeknitfellowship,I would have been too homesick."

As far as advantages and disadvantages go,Becky,like most other hotel students, mentioned the close proximity to the downtown stores as an advantage. The largest disadvantage to her was riding buses She feltitwasted a lotof time,but was necessary

On the subject of feeling "left out" of student lifebecause she lived at the hotel,Becky said, "I really have never felt excluded from student life I enjoy living at the hotel and, right now, I won't budge!"

"The personality of the hotel is family- oriented," said Kerry Nonnenmocher, a sophomore from Liverpool,N.Y. "Everyone is like brothers and sisters."

Discussing why he chose to live at the hotel thisyear,Kerry felt thiswas hisnumber one reason

"There are also many other conveniences," he said, "such as the library being closeby, and the nearness of many shopping facilities."

Some disadvantages Kerry pointed out were the usual one about having to ride buses every day to the mountain, plus he also mentioned the physical exercise limitations

"There are no open places where you can jog or play balllike there are on the mountain."

Kerry said that although there are disadvantages to living at the hotel,he does not wish to move to the mountain

"Iwould not move," he said, "because of the overall familylife that exists and isseen inthe spiritual maturity of concerned Christian students at the hotel."

Married Students: Advantages outweigh the disadvantages

Some students marry before the school year begins.Many also marry after school ends for the summer. Very few, however, get married during the middle of the school year Steve and Debbie Reynolds were two who did Marrying inDecember, Steve Reynolds and Debbie Howell,he a senior church ministriesmajor and she an LBC graduate with a major Inmissions,had dated for three years

"Irecommend a long dating relationship inschool," Steve said. "Thisgives the couple an opportunity to face many various teststhat willprove to be a good guide for the compatability of theirrelationship."

Steve feels their long dating relationship helped them in their firstmonths of marriage.

"Schoolwork was a strain on our relationship when we were first married," he said,"but having dated so long,we were able to better understand each other and better mold our relationship."

Steve feelsone difficulty he and Debbie have had to overcome has been spending time together Working more than 65 hours a week combined, they do not get to spend much time together

"However, there are definite

advantages to being married —" he said,"there's always a listening ear."

Marcus Eaton,a sophomore from Farmersville Station, N.Y., feels marriage has improved his schoolwork.

A business major,Marcus saidhis grades have been much better since he has been married "Ihave a greater responsibility to be the best I can be," he said "Ialso have lessto worry about in the area of dating,etc.,and my mind can be clear to think about schoolwork."

As for other advantages, Marcus feelsthat the companionship that two people inlove with the Lord and with each other haveis

student,according to Jerry Squires of Columbia City, Ind.

"When you're married," Jerry said,"you have that special person to confide in There's always somebody praying for you, and somebody always cares."

Jerry,a junior majoring inyouth, and hiswife,Roxanne,have been married three years They were already married when Jerry made the decision to attend LBC two years ago.

Although their married life is great,both admit there are obstacles that must be overcome. "One major problem," Jerry said,"isfinding a job with adequate income to support your family.Also once you do find a good job,it cuts down on the amount of time leftforsocial activities."

The Squires both work for ministriesof TRBC Jerry works forty hours a week inthe TRBC custodial department. Roxanne, who also works forty hours a week, is employed inthe LBC payroll department

Even though there are some distinct disadvantages for married students the Squires feel the advantages of married life definitely outweigh the disadvantages

number one

A close second is the warmth and security of one's home.

"It'seasier to concentrate on schoolwork when you're at peace and feel comfortable," he said Disadvantages to marriedlife, according to Marcus,are few One, however, is housing.

"Housing is hard to find," he said,"especially since married students are usually looking for something to fit intotheir budgets."

Overall,though,Marcus feels married lifeis great and he "wouldn't trade it foranything!"

A married student definitely has some advantages over a single

1980 begins the Decade of Destiny

1979-80.

Itwas the beginning of the Decade of Destiny. Depending on one's perspective, itwas a time for hope or a time for despair

Whatever one's perspective, it was an eventful year

Internationally,the news was dominated by the Iranian seizure of the American embassy in Iran and the events that followed. Sixty-six persons were taken hostage at the embassy on November 4, 1979 On November 18, thirteen of the hostages were released. Then, six long months passed with littleaction taking place Many gave up hope of the hostages even being alive

On April 25,however, Americans woke up to a cold splash of reality.Overnight,there had been an attempted rescue mission which was aborted midway through because of the malfunction of three Sea Stallion hellicopters Nine helicopters had left the deck of the aircraftcarrier U.S.S.Nimitz

Every student felt the economic pinch as gas prices rose over 50 cents from September to May.

and were to flyto Tabas, where they would meet six C-130 transports and refuel before flying on to Tehran. At leastsix helicopters were needed to complete the mission successfully When those involved inthe daring attempt reached Tabas,they realized there were only five helicopters able to flyon to Tehran. Since sixwere needed, the mission was aborted, Eight men were killed inthe confusion that followed the decision to abort

America was shocked. President Jimmy Carter had been saying for months that the U.S.was not planning to take any form of military action Secretary of State Cyrus Vance disagreed with the president's decision so heartily that he resigned.

Inthe United States,the big news centered around the presidential election of 1980 For many LBC students,thiswas their firsttaste of political action Inthe beginning, there were many candidates who felt they were what the nation needed in 1981. On the democrtic side there was Jerry Brown and Ted Kennedy challenging the incumbent, Jimmy Carter. The Republicans offered a

variety:George Bush, Howard Baker,John Connolly, John Anderson and Ronald Reagan. The primaries dragged on through the early months of the year and many candidates fellby the wayside Many LBC students became actively involved inthe campaign of Ronald Reagan who, as the months passed, emerged as the front-running Republican. President Jimmy Carter emerged as the front-running Democrat despite competition from Senator

Ted Kennedy

If Iran and the elections were somewhat abstract issues,every student feltthe economic pinch of a faltering economy and doubledigit inflation Gas prices rose more than 50 cents from September to May, makingit difficultfor those who traveled home on weekends. Other prices also skyrocketed and the prime lending rate rose to 20 percent. In March, the President ordered tighter controls on consumer credit,ending an era of easy credit and leaving Americans facing the possibility of a severe recession.

Locally,the big news was optimistic Itcentered around the construction of River Ridge Mall on Candler's Mountain Road. As the school year progressed, students literally watched the mall being builtfrom the ground up. The mall, scheduled to open thisfall, will contain four large department stores as well as a number of smaller stores.LBC students were excited over the fact that they willno longer have to drive the 50-mile distance to Roanoke to do large-scale shopping, but will be able to shop inLynchburg instead The mall willalso create jobsfor many college students.

While many thought the year's events indicated a gloomy future, many LBC students seemed to catch the vision of Dr Falwell — that America not only should be saved, but that America could be saved. The Decade of Destiny was underway and they were determined to make an impact on the direction of the nation

Excitement characterized the graduation exercises of 1980

Although there were other things occupying theirminds, most graduates were relaxed and settled back to enjoy theirday.

Itstarted at 9 a.m. on May 12, 1980, when graduates began arriving Inthe old sanctuary at TRBC to begin robing up Thisinitself seemed to be quite a feat as more than one graduate was heard to ask a faculty member, "Excuse me, sir,could you show me how to wear thishood?"

Finally, the big moment came The proud,excited and somewhat tearyeyed graduates marched into the TRBC main auditorium forthe ceremony.

The agenda included the awarding of diplomas by Dr. Falwell and Dr Guillermin as well as a challenge to the graduates by Dr Charles Stanley,the commencement speaker.

Phillips named athletic director

"The position of athletic director is a diversified job," said Dale Gibson,last year's LBCAD. Athletic directors deal with community andcollege relations, businessmen, budgets running into the thousands of dollars andother colleges.The AD must schedule athletic events, purchase equipment, andharmonize the athletic program with the school's philosophical objectives

Gibson,also the head basketball coach, resigned as AD last year to devote hisfull interests to the basketball program. Dr. Terry Don Phillipsreplaced Gibson at the helm of the LBC athletic program last May

Dr Phillipsassumed direction and management of the growingLBC sports program asDirector of IntercollegiateAthletics.

"The selection of TerryDon Phillipsas director of athletics is another step toward a major collegiate athletic program here at Liberty Baptist College," Dr A.P Guillermin said. "Wehave been searching for quite some time for the right manfor this most important position."

With the appointment ofDr Phillips, the LBC athletic department,encompassing the intercollegiate sports program, became the Division of IntercollegiateAthletics.

Dr Phillipsbecame chairmanof the Division of Athletics inaddition to the position of athletic director, giving him both academic and administrativestatus.

Trainers play key role in athletics

Most sports fans can't identify the trainers of the team they follow,but coaches andathletes not tomention the trainers themselves — know that they perform a vitalfunction

According toHead Athletic Trainer Dana Sorenson,there are three functions tothe trainers' job.

"Our main purpose istohelp prevent athletic injuries," Sorenson said "Of course,when they do occur, itisour job to treat them The third phase of our job is to help the player overcome his injury through rehabilitation."

Student assistant trainer Eugene Sutton said that rehabilitation involves taping upplayers, weight training andwhirlpool therapy

Soccer team scores in spreading the gospel

Coach Bill Belltook his LBC soccer team toGreat Britainlast summer, but their reason for going was not primarily toplay soccer

Rather,they planned to use their exhibition soccer matches against several Britishsemiprofessional teams toopen doors

foreign trip which would combine playing experience against good soccer teams with opportunities to share the gospel. While Bell was staring ata mapofthe worldone wintry dayon Liberty Mountain, thinking ofa possible summer trip to Haiti, Dean Eddie Dobson came

to ministry andwitness in Bell's native England.

The resultsof the LBC athletes' ministry turned out tobefar beyond anything Bellhadever thought possible when he first began toplan the tripearlythis year

When Bellfirst joined theLBC coaching staff,early in 1980, he began tolook for a summer ministry for hissoccer team — a

along tosuggest, "Why not go to Britain?"

For Coach Bell, it was tobea chance toreturn tothe country where hehad, a littlemore than a decade before,established himself as oneofofthe topnames in Britishprofessional soccer. Bell had also worked asa player-coach and a general manager after his active playing career. Soon after he found Christ ashis savior

Coach Bill Bellacepts an autographed book on thecityofBrighton,England,from the City'smayor and mayoress

three years ago, Bellcame to the United States to coach Campus Crusade's Athletes inAction soccer team.

Before the team could go to Great Britain,$18,000 had to be raised to finance the trip.People from throughout America,inthe home churches of team members and inother churches where people wanted to invest in this unique ministry,gave to help defray costs.The team members worked throughout Lynchburg doing odd jobs and giving the money toward thetrip

Then with justa few days to go before the airlinetickets had to be bought,the team came up $1,800 short of their $18,000 goal. Coach Belltold Jerry Falwell of theirpredicament just before church one Sunday night, and Pastor Falwell took an offering from members of TRBC which met the rest of the team's financial need.

Coach Bellalso discovered, just before the end of the spring semester,that team members had been staying up until2 or 3 a.m.in theirdorm, praying for the success of theirsummer ministry and preparing themselves spirituallyfor the opportunities that lay ahead

"We were looking forward to the competition," Bellsaid,"but the games were secondary inour thinking.Our priority was to share the gospel."

Bellhad warned histeam before they left, however, that the reserved British were unaccustomed to American-style witnessing and evangelistic preaching,so they should not expect to see large numbers of decisions

"Iwould have been satisfied," Bellreflected later,"with about 25 professions offaith."

What the LBC athleteevangelists found, however, was what Bellcalled "a new generation,mostly teen-agers, hungry for the Lord." Before the team leftGreat Britain,around 350 people had trusted Christ as

personalsavior

Many of those decisions came in evangelistic meetings inEnglish churches conducted by Leonard Davidson,a student at Liberty Baptist Seminary,and recent LBC graduate Mark Lowery But Coach Bellproudly pointed out that at least one-third of the 350 salvation decisions were people thathis team members had led to Christ in one-on-one witnessing encounters,

Several of those decisions were especially meaningful toBell

One was a professional soccer player,a former friend of Bell's, who played inLBC's exhibition games as an added attraction for the local soccer fans.

Thisprofessional soccer player, who played under Bellwhen he

techniques of telephone evangelism he had learned from JO. Grooms of the TRBC staff, Bell led hismother toChrist.

Still another who came into a personal realtionship with Christ during the trip was the young Britishbusdriver

At first, he was not open to the gospel,but he was drawn to the LBC students and coaches by an unexplainable quality of life he saw inthem Later inthe trip, he, too, prayed to receive Christ,and later gave histestimonyin evangelistic meetings.

One church inwhich they were able to minister was an Anglican church which Coach Bell had formerly attended before he became a Christian Soon after arriving, Belldiscovered that the pastor was antagonistic toward American evangelistic churches. While LBC's athletes shared with the teen-agers of hischurch,the pastor stood back ina corner, shaking hishead in disagreement at what he was hearing.

coached the Birmingham City team, was intrigued by the change he saw inCoach Bell.

He attended one of the services conducted ina local church, and accepted Christ as his savior

"I've seen such a change in Coach Bell,"he said. "Whatever he had, I wanted it too."

Another decision was even more meaningful to Coach Bell. While he was inEngland, he took a side tripto Scotland to visit his mother, who was not a Christian He witnessed to her, but found that she was not receptive to the gospel.

A few days later.Bell's sister visited one of the LBC team's services,and accepted Christ By the time Coach Bellcould call his mother with the news, his sister had already called her.When Bell called,he found a completely different attitude toward the gospel on her part Using the

After the service,however, this pastor's daughter also prayed to receiveChrist

And what about the soccer matches?

The LBC team played three Britishsemi-pro teams,and lost all three games,after playing what Bellcalled "a caliber of player they'llnever again play during theircollege careers inthe United States."

Despite their win-loss record, Bell was satisfied with their play against such top-flight competition.

And most of all Coach Bell was happy that he and histeam had been given the chance to take the gospel back to hisnative country.

"... the games were secondary in our thinking. Our priority was to share the gospel."

With no remaining time outs, Hess raced down court and shot up a 20-footer,drawing a foul from theTigers

Hess then calmly stepped to the lineand sank two shots,ending the Tigers'chance for tournament advancement.

The following night Liberty faced number two seeded Lee College

The Flames led at halftime, 4544, after four tiesand 11 lead changes.

However,the Flames outscored Lee 19-4 ina four-minute span in the second half, to take a 66-57 advantage

But Lee College,down by 14 points with sixminutes on the clock,made a comeback surgein the next four minutes. Coming within three points at 89-86 with 1:49 leftto play,Lee looked to be gainingcontrol

Then Ed Vickers took over

Rod Martin,shooting a team high 63.9 percent from the field, goes fortwo more Mickey Baker tries to pressure a turnover.

Vickers countered Lee by swishing a sideline jumper and an inside basket,for a 93-88 lead.

LBC clinched the victory with free throws from Vickers,Hess and Webb to end the game 99-90.

LBC "ventured into "The Land of the Giants'Saturday night," according to one sportswriter,in a matchup with Point Loma.

The California-based Crusaders boasted eight players oversix eight,the top seeded team inthe tournament,and a 79-77 semi-final victory over Tennessee Temple,

the NCCAA defending champions.

To eliminate the superior height of the Crusaders,Liberty went to a four-corners offense inan effort to take advantage of the quickness of the smaller players.

The "spread offense" employed by the Flames totaled 33 minutes and set the stage for an eightpoint streak by Rod Martin,giving the Flames a 25-13 lead.

At half-time Liberty led 35-26, but Point Loma fought back to trail58-57 with 2:40 leftinthe game

Liberty lost control of the ball on a bad pass and the Crusaders had a chance to take the lead. On the shot Point Loma went to 68 freshman Corey McMullen and a five-foot jumper

But Martin rejected the attempt and killed the Crusaders' momentum, as eight seconds later Hess went to the foul line.

Hess connected both attempts and Webb followed with eight consecutive foul shots to cap a 68-65 Flame victory and LBC's first national basketballtitle.

After the victory Karl Hess was chosen first-team All-American and first-team All-Tournament, while Ed Vickers was picked second-team All-American and first-team All-Tournament.

The Flames also had a successful tournament season. Of the six tournaments Liberty participated in, the Flames claimed three tournament titles, two runner-up positions and a seventh placein another.

Bonheim said the successfulness of the season stemmed from a realization by the team that Liberty could successfully compete with larger and more powerful schools.

"After the Monarch Civitan Open Tournament they realized that they could wrestle competitively with larger universities," he said

Worthington keeps

Omaha in his mind

Most baseball coaches dream of the chance to make itintheprofessional realm, to coach inthe major leagues,where there isfame and fortune.

Not Al Worthington

Al Worthington isthe Flames'head baseball coach. Worthington came toLBCseven years ago — from thecoaching staff of the Minnesota Twins.

"I'vealways wanted tobe a college coach," hesaid "IlefttheTwins becauseI thought itwould be nice tocoach Christian guys."

Worthington's dream, instead ofbeing centered on the major leagues,isseton Omaha, Neb., andthe NCAA Division I National Title.

"I want to take a group ofChristianathletes, build them into a National Champion team and head for Omaha," Worthington said But Worthington's dream has hadtobe set aside forthe past seven years:before he can mold that "dream" team LBCmust pass accreditation.

"Once we're accredited we cangetinto a league conference," he said "Then we'llbe elgiblefor post-season play ... and Omaha," However, untilthen Worthington must settle forsuch accomplishments asa 33-10 season the best college record inthe state.

But youcanbe sure that always lurking in the back ofhismind is Omaha Andthat, he says,"isashigh asyoucango incollege baseball."

These veterans proved themselves by going 4-1 indual meets, by placing twelfth outof twenty-seven teams at the Davidson Relays,by placing second out of five teams at the Mountaineer Classic,and by taking second atthe NCCAA Nationals.

By far, the strongest eventsof the season were the fieldevents Here,the team excelled, especially inthe large meets.

Notable wasBill Gillespie in the shotput whoplaced firstat the Richmond Relays,involving twenty Division I teams;firstin the Davidson Relays Gillespie also had the best throw inthe stateof Virginia.

Inthe minds ofmany, femininity and athletics don't mix, But LBC's Lady Flames, competing involleyball, basketball, track,cross country,and softball are out toprove that ,

Stereotypes don't hold true

One coed said that being an athlete has helped her to become a complete person.

"God has blessed me in the area of sports,andI use itasa ministry towitness toothers," Beth Glasssaid.

Beth isa senior whohas played volleyball for four years atLBC. She isa P.E.major andhopes to go into physical therapy and coaching after graduation

She said that female athletes can befeminine athletes.

"Women should be aggressive and competitive intheirsport," she said "Be the best athlete on court,but don't carry that air of aggression offcourt."

Beth looks atherself asa woman first andthen anathlete.

"Other interests allow meto relate toother girls,"she said, "and tolearn about myself."

She isinvolved inSGA andloves to study and learn

Though Beth feelsthat men and women should not be compared inathletics, she contends that women are not weak.

"Women are able to endure justasmuch pain asmen," she said

Beth stays inshape by running four tosixmilesthree times a week, swimming 1 V2 milesdaily during the summer andplaying volleyball and raquetball

Dawna Blank,a three-sport athlete, relaxes while talking on the phone

Another athlete,whose "biggest physical accomplishment" was the 50-mile JFK Marathon, says that athletics enhances one'sselfconcept.

Cindy Steffen,a senior,ran cross-country for LBC. She wants to teach and coach and later continue her education in graduate school

She said self-discipline isvery important,not just in keeping physically healthy,but in keeping a healthy attitude and not being impressed by socialpressures

"You shouldn't give up your lifestylejust to please someone," she said.

Cindy feels that she can be a feminine woman as well as an aggressive athlete

"You don't need to be masculine to be an athlete," she said,"You do need to be aggressive."

She feels that men and women can successfully compete with each other on mixed teams, but should not be involved inphysical contact sports

Cindy has been running for two years now and has worked herself up to 65-70 miles a week.

"At the most I'llmiss one day of running a week," she said "After that I have to run no matter what the weather isor how I feel"

A year to build

Some late skates,two banquets, one Miss Liberty Pageant — do these make up the recipe for a great student government?

Sure, but try a littlecommunity outreach, the development of spiritual and social unity,as well as massive amounts of inspiration to greatness through dedicated leadership. These are the essence of LBC's Student Government Association; thisis where organization begins.

"Thiswas a year for solidification," said Dan Henderson,student body president "Ithink this year we solidified the whole concept of student leadership; we solidified the organization that we started the year before." According to Henderson, thiswas a year of building on what was developed during the 78-79 year.

"Ithink our greatest accomplishment isthat we maintained the student unity we developed the year before,and strengthened it," Henderson said "We gave it more depth."

SGA expanded itsbase of leadership last year. Henderson said that there were a lot more people involved than ever before,and "most of them have been realleaders."

Henderson feltthat SGA isa necessary organization on any campus

"We are giving students a voice,especially to the president's office,"Henderson said. "Ithink there is a need forstudents to take a place of leadership among their own peers — the need for internal change."

A new position added to the Executive Committee was the vice president of student activities. Through thisoffice allstudent-run activities were organized. The activities that were organized by the individual class officers were also under supervision of this office Programs likethe Miss Liberty Pageant, the Christmas and spring banquets,the concert series,and the Resurrection Festival were arranged by the Office of Student Activities

"It'sgood to have a lot of activities,even ifthere might be more than one going on at a time," said Dennis Boyd, vice president of student activities "Our success isnot inhow many people show up, but rather that those who do come have a good time." he said. Continued on Page 136

There were other activities put on by the individual classes.The seniors sponsored a banquet and a cookout on Treasure Island,while the juniors attempted tosee whocould stand up towhoat the Junior-Senior Showdown Another favorite fromthe junior class wasthe Oldie-Wed Game, where students saw the humorous side tothe married livesofselected faculty.While Dean Lamar Keener thought his most irritating habit washis"nail-biting," hiswife informed the audience itwas"hisjokes."

The Sophomore Hayride wasa popular event, where students were serenaded with country music and blessed by the preaching ofDr JimMoon And, as always,there wasa good turnout for the traditional freshman triptothe Peaks ofOtter,notto mention the lateskates.

Although student activities were inhigh gear last year,the prime objective of the Student Government was tominister to the students."SGAisa people oriented ministry," Henderson said. "My joy isinseeing students motivated andexcited about accomplishing something atschool

A much-used quote by Henderson has been, "Leadership Isstimulating others to brilliant effort."Itisagreed by members of the SGA that Hendersonhas done justthat.

Through the example of Henderson anda "dedicated staff"the student Government Association has proved tobean "effective" tool tothe student body. Session meetina

"Our students have great comments, and finally they have an organization upon which they can• handle those comments," said Dean John Baker "I think SGA plays a vitalrole inour institution and will continue todo so. I can't think of anything they could have they could have done better thisyear."

At a recent convention inWashington D.C., Mike Stewart,vice president of student afairs,wasableto get a perspective of the LBCstudent governmentin the lightof other schools

"We stand very well considering the size of our student body," Stewart said. "Other schools participating atthe convention were some of the biggest colleges anduniversities inthe country. Schools likeMarquette andSyracuse with asmany as 15,000 - 16,000 students were represented."

Mike recalled oneinstance during the conference when they were ina seminar andthe speaker asked those whohada student participation ofover tenper cent tostand up. Apparently, out of300 schools,Mike and another representative were the only onesto stand up ashaving over 50per cent active voters in SGA elections

"The speaker was soimpressed," Stewart said, "that hesaid I andthe other guyshould come up and teach that session."

Stewart's division of the executive office developed an area of greater concern incommunity outreach last year With Tom Andrews helping develop the program, heinstituted drives tocollect Biblesfor the World Home Bible league Along with this, there wasa drive toclean up MillerPark anda group was organized tovisita convalescent home.

Students collected and donated more than $4,000 for the car

"Something we still want tostrive for, and probably willnever see initsfullest, isunquestionable unity among the students," said Rick Scharmann, student body vice president. "That isthe ultimate purposeof student government — through God, bringingthe students into a closer bond of unity."

On a recent survey held during a student Body meeting a dorm student made thecomment that sums up the whole Story: "The association has worked hard — anditshows."

Steps in the right direction

Once again the LBC students, faculty and Flames fans received with enthusiasm the half-time entertainment of the Marching Band, the excitement of the Pep Band, and the classic quality of the Concert Band

Last year a different type of growth was displayed inthe 79'80 LBC band.

Seeing people saved as a result of their music was the unique factor forthe band, according to Ray Locy,LBC band director

"The one thing that made us different was our concert tour," Locy said."Ithelped unify the group."

Locy explained that seeing people saved was an encouraging element forthe band members because itshowed them that they could be used by God. The concert tour,which was taken during spring break,covered five southeastern states,performing in Christian and public schools,They also performed inone church

"You always wonder how a group likethe football team is able to win souls," said band member Dave Southern, "andI wondered how God could use the band to win people — andI found out he could." More than 70 people made professions of faith during the band's tour During the concert,band members would give testimonies and afterwards they would mingle with the students and witness.

The band members had to sacrifice their break and raisetheir own support for thetrip

These were also technical aspects of the band that changed thisyear,according to Locy. A new form of directing was applied to the marching band called "corps style" marching With thisstyle of directing, Locy was able to create a visual expression of every piece of music played.

"The audience not only hears the music,but also feels and sees

"The one thing that made us different wasour Concert tour"

The syncopated styleofdrum major Eddie Clark added chdrisma totheLBC Marching Band

A seemingly soitary figure, Ray Pessagno ofthePep Band, joinswith thecrowd in cheering on theLBCFlames. it," Locy said. "Ican be creative through maneuvering the marchers, flags and rifles."Locy expressed a sense ofselfsatisfaction seeing what he had put down on paper come alive on the field with people enjoyingit.

The Band Front,the name for the riflesand flags,was also under Locy's direction on the field while Cathy Babrick,captain of the band front,directed the girls in their individual manuevers.

"Imove them on the field," Locy said "Cathy directs what they are carrying."

Locy also said there was a growth inattitude on the part of the band members and an increase inthe quality oftheir playing.

"More serious students are coming our way," Locy said This

new outlook,according to Locy. came from the lessstringent practice schedule

"Imade a reassessment during the summer of 79 concerning rehearsals." Locy said. "Ithoughtit would be better not to have as many inorder to leave more time for the students'busy schedules."

Expressive maneuvers for the Marching Band mdke music come alive athalf-time

They set the pace

The RAs and the supervisors are the key to making the program at LBC work,according to Dean John Baker.

"Ithink that we are right on target from a leadership standpoint," Baker said

Dean Baker isconvinced that a majority of what a student learns inhisor her college career is what he learnsfrom the other students inthe dorm

"The RAs did so much more to teach our philosophy than any other person that we had on staff,"Baker said."As students they were able to set the pace. They were evidence put in front of the students,rather thanjust emphasized rules."

Baker stressed that hisgoal was to get as many dormitory people as possible involved in discipleship. He feelsthat thiswill ultimately bring about unity

"The problem of growing large is that you lose the individuality of the student," Baker said."This is the reason why we tried to create more leadershiproles."

The RAs, according to Baker, have presented themselves not only as a disciplinarian on the hall, but also a friend, especially inthe past few years.

"As RAs and supervisors we need to love people and be

patient with theirfaults," said Roy Dail,a supervisor forfour years and a recent graduate of the seminary. "Ihad a desire to help them overcome some oftheir faults — to help them be what God wants them to be — to be a friend and a brother."

Roy's purpose was to not only help bring out good qualities but to encourage them to reach out to other people.

Bruce Knight,an RA for two years and a recent graduate of the college,said hisgoals were to meet people's needs.

"My roommate John Wakefield and I had a goal to get our guys more intothe Word," Knight said "Since the beginning of the year, we have seen a number of guys

have success inthisarea and we have seen attitudes change as a result."

The RA isbasically a pastorin the dorm, a mediator between the students and the administration,but also a student as well,according to Knight The RAs hold a great responsibility.

"We could livewithout the deans," said Baker. "I really believe that!W e could probably livewithout the administration,but I do not believe that we couldlive without the residentassistant."

There were 42 resident assistants and eight supervisors at the mountain and thehotel, Donna Fleming and Roy Dail share an intimate moment atthe RA'sChristmasBanquet.

Fulfillingoneofherregular duties,Debby Anthony issues permission to leave campus.

"The greatest attempt at achieving unity within the RA staff was the tripto Richmond," one RA said."Itwas a time when we could get together with the deans and the other RA's for a time of pure fellowship and fun."

InApril, after selling about $6,000 worth of donuts to raise money for the trip, allthe RAs, supervisors,and deans traveled to Richmond for a banquet and spent the following day at King's Dominion The RAs called it "The Great Escape," while students called it"The night the Fedsleft campus." RAs intraining took over forthe night the RAs were missing.

Chamber Choir takes a different approach

Hours of practice and rigid discipline have shown their fruits in the Concert andChamber Choirs as, according tothe general student impression,they have "excelled," really showing themselves tobe a group "primed forperfection."

One student commented, "I get more ofa blessing fromthe Chamber Choir's music thanany other singing group oncampus.

"Our approach topresenting music isdifferent from other music groups," said KimRenas, choir director."Wehave started with the music andadded the ministry."

Itisthe general philosophyof the choirs that excellence in their music isthe main thrust of the choirs,explained Renas,andto be a classical performance group comparable toanyother college chamber choir.

"Singing thiskind ofmusicis what provides the discipline

necessary forexcellence," Renas said.

The Chamber Choir, the traveling group,mounted a limited touring schedule.Yet they managed tocover much ground during the year They wentout primarily during the breaksand one weekend per month.

"As far as ministry,we'renot geared toanyparticular people," Renas said,"but tochurches."He went ontoexplain that they never go into a church with the express purpose ofchangingthe church.

"We letGod do that through our music," Renas said. "Our testimony isinour songs." The churches apparently appreciated thisaspect of the choir and were more open tothe blessing.

One stop during their spring tour was Eastern Michigan State University,Renas's alma mater, where the choir showed themselves tobe "every bit as

good, ifnot better" than their group was.Another noted concert onthe same tour was at High Street Baptist Church in Springfield,III. There EarlSmith, music director for the church for the past 34years,said the Chamber Choir was the best group hehadever heard, musically and spiritually.

"Itwas the firsttime I hadever seen a 'spiritual' standing ovation," Renas said,describing the reaction ofthe church's people.

The students also expressed a blessing received during thetours.

"The tours help us to grow spiritually,"onemember said, "not only through the service,butby the people whose homes inwhich we stayed."

The highlight ofthe yearwas the choir'sfour-week summer tour of Great Britain.

Renas describes hisrelationship with the choirs as "unique," as the students are with him at alltimes on the road, inconcerts and rehearsals.

"They never sing without me," Renas said,"My personal stamp, bad or good, is shown allthe time." He went on to say that he has grown spiritually from the choir and they from him

The feeling of the students toward Renas was mutual, "He's a friend."one member said, "He commands respect but doesn't demand it."

The Concert Choir had a membership of 160 firstsemester and 115 second semester,while the chamber choir,a more select group,had 37 members.

"We willalways perform well musically." Renas said "Our group cannot minister unless we sing well half our ministry is our excellence."

The Chamber Choir greatly added to the success of Dean Dobson's Sunday evening service

Fresh air and bright sunshine were the added elements to the Concert Choir's finalperformance on the grounds infront of the Fine Arts Hall.

Acting with an emphasis on evangelism

A goal ofunity andan attitude of compassion motivated an .active andgrowing ministryon campus thisyear.

"The altars were alwaysfull," said Mrs Helen Lloyd,directorof the "A" team ofKing'sPlayers "Our main objective was to spread the gospel."

King's Players,a drama group which was firstestablished ata different college in 1959 byDr and Mrs Lloyd,puts a special emphasis on evangelism

Along with "A" team, underthe Lloyds'direction,a "B"team is directed by David Allison, anda "C" team, the King'sPlayers' newest group,isdirected by Robert Allen

Each group travels with its own repertoire.

Thisyear "A" team performed

"Which Way," "Beware," "The Call," "The Mountain," "Everyman," "Gillian,"and "The Robe," The"B"team put on "Once toDie," "PilgrimsProgress," and "HeCame Seeing," "Bridge of Blood" and "The Divine Advocate" were performed by "C" team.

"Inthe three years that I have been inKing's Players,I have really seen the group grow," said James Garner,chaplain of"A" team and Drama Student of the Year.

"Three years ago, noone knew much about the King'sPlayers; now it's getting tothe point that we are well known inthe ministry Dr. Falwell even mentions us from thepulpit."

Mrs. Lloyd describes King's Players asa "worthwhile ministry." She feels that the teams have

had a good reception wherever they went,There have also been many salvation decisions atthese programs,according toMrs, Lloyd, and oneprogram wasa public high school

Garner has expressed that there issome skepticism from outside sources inrelation tothe teams going tochurches where they basically minister to Christians.

"It'slikeDel Fehsenfeld said," Garner explained, "So many churches are just playing games; there are people whohave been inchurches alltheir lives, but haven't really been a witness to anybody. I think we cango and bring on an attitude ofrevival — that's what our group wantsto get across — a ministryof revival."

Buses roll in new ways

The bus ministry willbe the answer to keeping the church alive inthe '80s,according to an LBC student whodoubles as the coordinator of the Thomas Road Baptist Church BusMinistry.

Tim Setliff, pastoral counseling major inthe college,has become a popular personality in the Wednesday night service withhis weekly announcements andsubtle innuendoes toDr, Falwell.

Inthe past twoyears, Setliff, along with a "dedicated staff," has developed anefficient and effective bus ministry The statistics of theirministry are the proof of its success.

"In October, 1979,we had just about doubled innumbers from the year before," Setliffsaid. During the finalquarter of'79, the bus ministry hadthe highest attendance infive years, using 25 buses incomparison to63 buses.

"Inever worked with thebus ministry untilFebruary, 1978,whenI was the coordinator of one-third of the bus routes,"Setliffsaid, "My goal back then was tobeatthe other buses." Apparently there was an unhealthy emphasis on

competition between the people working onthe bus routes

"The competition caused divisions,"Setliffsaid "Itwas an opportunity forbadattitudesto develop." Tohelp alleviate the problem Setliffstressed the positive approach of encouragement, which developed the incentive todo better,rather than than pointing out the weak spots.

Tim feltthat hisstaff has been the greatest factor toward success since hehas been in charge

"We recruited top-notch people,people whoare not limited by what they can do," Setliffsaid."Itwould be hardto describe them, except tosay that they are LBC's finest,"Gary Irvin, assistant coordinator,has proved to be everything anassistant should be,according to Setliff.

Together,SetliffandIrvin have developed a number ofactive programs that have contributed, inthe greatest sense,to the effectiveness of the ministry

"Weekly give-aways have always been used asthe main

form of promotion," Setliff said "Now we rarely give anything away justfor the sake of giving it away. A promotion that is preceded by weeks ofworkand advertising builds enthusiasmand shows greaterresults."

The bus ridersover a periodof fivetosixweeks are encouraged to bring guests and memorize verses forcoupons redeemableat the upcoming promotional event.

Some of the promotions have been:

-The Bus Carnival on Treasure Island

-The Fight of the Century with Steve Mandrager andSethAtari.

-The ToyStore ofChristmas.

"With the current gas shortage there is a need toreconsider the role of the buses inthe church," Setliffsaid,"itappears to many people that the bus ministry is doomed."

"Isee us moving toward getting more people involved intheir own locality," Setliffsaid,"not only busing visitors, but church members also."

Drama makes Bible come alive to kids

The classroom full of squirming, giggling, chattering fourth, fifth, and sixthgraders began tosettle down inexpectation as an ancient manhobbled tothe front ofthe room. They were delighted when heintroduced himselfas Moses,servant ofJehovah. None ofthe children hadanydoubt who the visitorreally was: Alan Cousins,whowas communicating thegospel message to them through drama.

Thiswas a weekly occurrence at the Wednesday night Junior Bible Institute, a newthree-year program which takes the students through theBible

"We use drama becausethe children can associate more with what they see," said Cousins, an LBC sophomore.

Cousins also wrote the playand skits performed every week to illustratethe Bible lessons. His programs are being incorporated intoa book with lessons andother teaching materials tosell as curriculum

"The skitsare a supplement," Cousins said,"They are fun, yet detailed and spiritual."

Eighteen months ago, TRBC's Special Education program consisted of 15workerswho reached out to300 of the Lynchburg Training School's residents inthree weekly programs

Now approaching 100 workers, the Special Education Department ministerswith ten weekly programs to 500 "special people" at the Training School andthroughout Lynchburg

"The theme of recruiting people forthe ministry,"said Bill Wheeler, director of the Special Education Ministry,"focuses upon the interest of the individual whois coming to explore the ministry W e like them to walk through allten programs and discover the place where theirinterests lie. Attimes we give them the opportunity tocreate new program elements ifwe have

A vital outreach

none of interest tothem."

Dan Lester andhiswifePriscilla formed a puppet team which ministers tothe "special people," and tours churches presentingthe burden for expanded outreach programs to the mentallyand physically handicapped

"Recruiting inthismanner gives Christian Service workers the opportunity tofulfill themselvesas individuals, andhelps them to feel satisfied intheir area of interest."

Wheeler said

The Special Education Department feels that with 10 per cent of the nation's population either physically ormentally handicapped, their ministry is a vitaloutreach

"While these people are limited mentally," Wheeler said, "they can still be mighty in spirit."

Attempting to reach the whole community

JeffHartman and Gary Babcock load up the bus foranother weekend out.

Attempting to reach the whole community, the past year for the Sounds of Liberty was a "hectic" one according to Dave Randlett, director of the group

"We have been at Thomas Road two to three Sundays every month," Randlett said,"and have done numerous high school assemblies and rallies at shopping centers." Along with theirstudies, the Sounds have kept an active ministry going

"We have to keep our church ministry," Randlett said,"to keep from drying up."

The church and high school ralliesare a similar practice to the ministry of the Enpsalms during the '78-79 school year,although

Randlett maintains that the group isa completely new entity.

"We are including more high school assemblies." Randlett said. "From what we have seen,ithas been a success inboth Christian and publicschools."

Basically the role of the group has been to meet the needs of the TV ministry on Sunday morning and to travel with Dr.Falwell, according to Randlett

Along with their ministry to schools and churches,the Sounds visited twenty-three state capitols with the I Love America Rallies.

The team covered ground from as far north as Albany. NY., to as far south as Tallahasse,Fla , and west to Austin Tex They also

During the summer they worked ina week-long camp with the summer college program along with a two-and-a-half-week-long tour of the West,performing in churches inColorado,Arizona and California.

"The team issinging somewhere twice a week at least,"Randlett said,"and must sacrifice most of theirtime off."Christmas and spring breaks are given up by the students totravel.

"They must also get used to studying on buses and in motels," Randlett said,"and every nowand-then the kidsget to go to class"

I Love America rallieswere held on the steps of 23state capitals thisyear andmany LBCstudents took part.

Numerous students traveled home tosee anILArally performed onthe steps of their state capitol.Many remained at LBC, wishing they could go. LBC students were definitely interested inwhat was happening.

Forty-five students traveledto all23ILA ralliesthisyear They were the ILA Singers Thislarge group was actually comprised of LBC's two main singing groups: the LBC Singers andthe Soundsof Liberty

Combining atthe rallies, these two groups presented a musical program full of patriotism. Withthe help of Robbie Hiner and Don

Norman, the group sang such songs as"The Red, White, and Blue," "The Armed Forces Medley," "ILove America," and "FiftyNifty United States."

The ILA Singers were a very instrumental part of the ILA rallies, according to Carol Hummer, the ILA rallyco-ordinator. Their musical presentation was always followed by a message from Dr. Falwell to the state'scitizens,inwhich he spoke onsuch issuesas abortion, ERA andvoluntary prayer inpublic schools.

"A main purpose of each rally." MissHummer said,"istoconfront the general public with theissues. Without the ILA Singers proceeding Dr Falwell's message, thiscould not hav e bee n as effective."

Singers are college's best public relations

The LBC Singers traveledto more than 40states lastyear, singing inmore than 300 churches, youth camps,fairsand shopping malls They sawmore than 2,000 people make decisions to accept Christ.

Begun five years agoastheLBC Chorale road team, theLBC Singers were formed tomeetthe demands for a group which would travel extensively asa representative of the college

"The LBCSingers,"said Randy Rebold,the director of theLBC Singers,"are LBC's number one public relationstool."

Taking an entire year off from theircollege education,the group travelsfrom July to May presenting a multi-media show to literallythousands of people.

"The multi-media show actually takes Liberty Mountain to the people," Rebold said,"and that's

good because for some it's the only chance they'llhave to see it."

An important aspect of the LBC Singers'ministry istheiroutreachto families When on the road, the Singers stay ina different home each night.While there,theytry to be ofhelp totheir hosts by counseling with them concerning any spiritualproblems they might be facing They also attemptto befriend the many young people they come incontact with.

According toRebold,the most exciting thing the Singers have accomplished thisyear has been participating in23ILA rallies Joining together with Robbie Hiner, Don Norman, andthe Sounds of Liberty,the Singers presented a musical program that preceded a message by Dr.Falwell on the steps ofeach statecapitol

YAF... getting involved

The newly formed chapter of Young Americans for Freedom,as of December 3, 1979,consistedof five members with $5in the treasury.Less than three months later,LBC hadthe largestYAF chapter inthe nation with365 members

"We've sat back andlistened to Dr Falwell say vget involved with the issues,'"said Roy Jones, president of the organization. "But we never hada wayto do anything untilnow."

Student body president Daniel Henderson,along withPhil Downey, began toinitiatestudent politicalactivity during the summer of 79. YAF,being the largest conservative politicalgroup for students,waschosen tobe the medium

"The objective ofYAF,"said executive member Jonathan

Stewart, "istoeducatethe students on political issues, for without the proper education, we cannot wield proper action."

Thiseducation wasprovided through speakers,seminars and informing students on various forms of legislation pending inCongress.

"The knowledge derived from thisinformation," Stewart said, "willbe used by our members to formulate political opinions."

As well asacting educationally, the organization strove for a more "activist"attitude, said Jones. They did thisby holding a "Defeat Salt II Rally"on December 11, 1979, andby sending hundredsof letterstothe capitol in Richmond to stop the registration of women forthe draft.They also hada special speaker come in and lecture on abortion.Inaddition, they sent students tocampaign in two presidential primaries Laterin the year,U S Senator Jesse Helms held an open forum for YAF members.

The 1979-80 academic year marked the sixth year for the SMITE ministriesatLBC andalso is considered the year ofitsgreatest expansion

"We have mushroomed more rapidly than the ministryitself," said Dale Peterson,director of SMITE,During thisyear,the ministry worked upfrom sixteamsto thirteen.Along with the original teams, the Latin,Asain,European, Children's ministry and the Internationals, sixtechnical teams were established,aswell as an additional children's team.

Other leadership additions were Dorkas Harlin, administrative assistant;andBetty Jo Junt

The ministry also used several college faculty members They were Drs.Lee andLilaBruckner, of the education team; Br. Bill Matheny, church planting; Dr. Garth Runion,education team, Bob andBetty Bonheim, sports team; Drs LilaandAlbert Robinson;Dr.Eleanor Treece, medical team: Dr.Warren Zick, agriculture team and Gary Swaford,aviation team.

The newteams were aviation, agriculture,construction,medical, education andsports Added at the endofthe year was the Samoan team, headed by Bob Knutson.

"The main purpose ofthe tech teams is toutilizethe people who are not necessarily preachers," Peterson said "Weare moving into a realm oftotal evangelistic effort.It takes more than a preacher todo the whole job."

Along with the addition of new teams, the ministry has also added new leadership Rick Rogerswas added asthe tech team coordinator andworks asDale Peterson's administrative assistant.

It was thistotaljoining of the ministry ofthe church and the college that made SMITE unique, said Peterson.

The summer of'79 was considered by directors asone of the most successful inthe history of SMITE Simultaneously,five SMITE teams held campaigns inEngland, Greece, Zimbabwe-Rhodesia, Japan, Korea,the Philippines and the Caribbean Islands.

The European team, underthe direction ofGilVining andwith the assistance of Tom Mahairas of the Manhattan Bible Church,held 36 evangelistic meetings inGreece. Several thousand New Testaments and portions ofScripture were distributed inthe Biblicalcities of

Philippi, Berea and Thessalonica.

The Asian team, under the direction of Paul Carey, along with Dale Peterson,spent five weeks with missionaries and inchurches in Japan, Korea and the Philippines Inaddition to evangelistic meetings, the team helped Joe Hale,LBC graduate and missionary under the Strategic Baptist Missions,construct an amphitheater ina new youth camp outside Seoul, Korea The team also had the opportunity to minister on national televisionin Tokyo, Japan.

The Latin team spent five weeks touring allthe islands of the Caribbean Three to four days were spent on each of the eight islands.The highpoint of the tripfor the team was the opportunity to minister to the governor of Grand Turk inthe Dominican Republic All together,their whole time out,the team conducted seventy-seven services

The children's team,jointly directed by Jan Eulissand Verle Brinkley.on special invitation, made a return trip to England There they spent most of their days inschools,hospitals and nursing homes

Bible clubs for the neighborhood children Inone rural community, where there were no gospelpreaching churches,the team ministered to children who had never heard the gospel before The international team spent thirty-two days traveling more than 20,000 miles inAfrica, visiting Botswana, Bophuthatswana and South Africa.But it was inthe wartorn country of ZimbabweRhodesia that the team spent most of their time The team was accompanied by Roscoe Brewer and Dr. Ed Hindson. They ministered primarily to the military bases inthat country where Christians were suffering severely. In62 services there were more than 2,300 professions of faith and the team personally distributed more than 20,000 Bibles and portions of Scripture inthree languages.

"Considering allthat the Christians face, itwas difficultfor me to understand how the church inZimbabwe- Rhodesia could remain strong and vibrant,butit was," wrote Eric Harley inthefirst issue of the SMITE newsletter."I am certain,though, that the experience of our African campaign has made much of what I formerly took for granted more precious."

Along with their foreign ministry, SMITE traveled extensively during the school year attempting to create a missions awareness in the nation's churches Teams were out almost every weekend last year This was also the way SMITE teams raised support for their summer ministries

Students got a first-hand look

For some LBC students, foreign culturesbecame more than academic studieslastyear.

These were students who got a first-hand look at foreign countries through the Student Foreign Exposure Program.

Student missionary education through cooperative exposure to the world is the purpose and the means of the Student Foreign Exposure Program.

"Itis valued as the most thought-provoking area of education,"said Dave Pantana, directorof the program. Student involvement is stressed.

Inits second year,the program showed an active schedule planned forthe upcoming year.

Claudia McCrory,a graduate of LBC with a degree inmissions, was assigned as campaign coordinator lastyear and tripswere scheduled to Guatemala,Jamaica, Mexico City, Costa Rica,the Dominican Republic and Canada.

Pantana also said that his office aided students inraisingfinancial support forthe tripsthrough letters sent to family and church members.

After a six-week tripduring the summer about thirty LBCstudents knew better ifthey could cut it on the mission field, according to Robert Knutson,an LBC faculty member andSMITE liason

Knutson,a former missionaryto Hawaii,led a team oftwentyseven students inthe summer on a missionary internship program to American Samoa

The team, which included students with majors ranging from business toelementary education, had asits main goal organizing Sunday Schools andGood News clubs

The practical missionary experience gained from thetrip

Summer team getsexperience

helped the students apply what they hadlearned inthe classroom, Knutson said

"When the students came they knew what the professor in the classroom was trying toteach them,"he said'

Knutson believed itis important that the Samoan tripwasnotjust an exposure trip, but wasinstead a realchance tohelp the Samoan people

"It's great tobe there for a week or so,"hesaid,"but when you're there forsixweeks and it's 'do or die' itwillmake orbreak you."

Besides fulfillingthe need tohelp

the Samoan people, Knutson believes that the most important reason forthe program was to give the students direction in life.

"Iwant tohelp them find God's will fortheir livesbefore they go out onthe field and spend $100,000 andthen fallflatontheir faces

"Iwant tosee a student come intothe missions program, then pour my lifeinto him,educate him, give himan internship,and finally put himon an airplane and say 'goodbye' tohimwith the knowledge that hecanmake it on the missionfield."

Practice with a purpose

Smoothing out cultural changes

ElClub Latino,the LBC Spanish Club,practiced speaking Spanish with anemphasis onsoul-winning at theirfour meetings a semester

The meetings, conducted entirely inSpanish,hada balance of entertainment andlearning. This included singing and Bible memorization

The Spanish Club's sloganwas "pratica con proposito." which means practice with a purpose. Their purpose was towin Spanishspeaking people tothe Lord.

One activity last year was a trip to Washington, D.C., toattend a Spanish-speaking church

The International Students Organization was a newclubat LBC organized by Dr.Lee Bruckner and Russ Daubert. Itinvolved more than sixty foreign students andtheirhost families

Each falla reception for these students isheld with a dinnerin theirhonor.

The organization also developed a "buddy system" where American students help the foreign students toadjust and smooth out culturaldifferences

Organization promotes literary interaction

The English Association provided an opportunity for facultyand students to interact and fellowship,sharing literary and writing activities beyond thoseof the classroom.

Sponsored by the Department of English,the informal organization met monthly

Some of the outstanding programs of the school year were: a rare books display;finearts presentation atChristmas which included a slide presentationof restored homes inDiamond Hill; an evening ofpoetry reading inwhich students andprofessors shared original work;a lecture and slide presentation of the life and work of a Lynchburg poet, Anne Spencer; anda video-tape discussion of Emily Dickinson

The organization also was intent on creating aninterest among non-majors and minors.

Journalist society formed

The Society of Collegiate Journalists was a newgroup formed justbefore the endof the year.

SCJ isa national journalism group, with chapters injournalism departments throughoutthe nation.

The newSCJgroup had 10 i charter members.

LBC faculty: they're Huma n Beings

administration were purely people, showing their humanity ina variety of ways. They sponsored class activities, preached inchapel, and worked side byside with students to help them plan theircareers Theirhomes opened up to students for Biblestudies, fellowship,andfood. Classes became increasingly interesting and informative as they dressed in costume or,fireextinguisher propelled,shot across the room ina physics experiment, transforming themselves intoliving visua] aids.

Ina January chapel.Dr. Falwell gave recognition totheirhigh quality:

"We have the sharpest faculty ever this year."

At some colleges, students see teachers andadministrators asa different breed ofanimal, members of the Tyrannausaurus Educationus family.Towering over students,they have twopairs of bespeckled eyes (apair in front and a pair inback,)with paddlelikegrowths extending from their rightforepaws. The sounds they produce are ina single,slumberproducing pitch (except when incited toanger bystudents,) and theirfavorite pastime is wedging their pupils' noses into a 90 degree angle produced by the joining of two walls.Atnight they hang upside down, vampire-like, in the coat closet

To many, a celebrity;to LBC, A Friend

One quick glance atDr,Jerry Falwells schedule for thisyearwas enough tomake a person wonder if there were really severalDr Falwell's likeSanta Clauses during Christmas,popping up everywhere.

The government of Israel named a forest after him. Taiwan's government extended anofficial invitation for himtovisit their country Hetraveled over 200,000 miles,speaking atI Love America rallies, church conferences, civic and educational meetings,and in Thailand andwartime Rhodesia. A conference with the President of the United States andthe1979

Clergyman of the Year Award from the Religious Heritageof America were twohighlights of the year.

Dr. Falwell also founded the Moral Majority,worked on a book with Doubleday, Inc., appearedin Time andon "The Phil Donahue Show," andsupervisedthe publishing ofhisofficialbiography, "Jerry Falwell;Aflame for God."

Jerry Falwell.Tomany people around the world,thiswas the name of a celebrity,aninstitution Yet the students ofLBC were often priviliged tosee himasa friend.He washere among them, walking through the halls,punching them on the back, yelling with them ata football game, and pretending torun them over with his four-wheel drivetruck Wrestlers stranded atschool during Thanksgiving break jokingly invited hisfamily tocome to their dorm for a peanut-butter-andhoney-sandwich party He laughed, handed them a bill, and made them promise tobuy good steaks with it; then grappled with them later when hecaught them spending itonhamburgers.

Horton gives poor health The Ru n Around

"Excuse me ...do you know where Dr Hortonis?"

The student peeked hesitantly intothe PEteacher'soffice

"Yes," replied Horton'soffice mate,smiling.

Pause. The studentlifted Inquiring eyebrows andwaited. A smile slidacross the office mate's face as hepointed out the window atthe distant mountains.

"Running."

Someone once said,"The way you can tellifyou're a runner is if you get upinthe morning and ask yourself,"AmI going to run today?" A real runner doesn't have toask.Hejustdoesit.

"Iam a runner,"said Dr, David Horton,Associate Professor of Physical Education at LBC.

Hisactions go a longway towards putting feet tohis words Pounding 3200-3500 miles underhis running shoes ishisgoal for '80, to top his totalof 2923 in 79.

After lessthan three years of seriousrunning,Hortonhas become one of the newbreed of ultra-marathoners (an ultramarathon isa race of over 26 miles).Horton's firstultra-marathon was the JFK 50, held on Nov. 17, 1979, inBoonesboro,Md. He hoped to finishthe 50.2 mile course inunder 8hours

Horton's feet sent leaves scattering onthe parts of the Appalachian Trailwhich helped to comprise the race.After 7hours and 43minutes,hecrossedthe finishline, coming in24th outof 405starters

"Torture," Horton saidin

describing the lastfewmiles. "It feltlikea knife was being thrust Into my leg muscles."

Thiswould not keep himfrom entering futureultra-marathons, however Heran the OldDominion 100-Mile Endurance Run inJuly of '80.

Why does hedo it?Why run?

"I'm a very goal-oriented person,andrunning gives a great sense of accomplishment I ask myself,"What canthisbody do?"

Likemany runners,Horton started running when he wanted to lose a littleweight.Hewas also beginning tohave shortness of breath after only slightphysical exertion Running solved these problems,but inthe meantime, Horton got hooked.

"Once a person startsrunning, he begins to learn allof the benefits Running keeps a person alert, tranquil, andhelps torelieve tension I usually feel better after I run than before!"

Horton believes that "itisevery Christian'sobligation tokeep his body (God's temple)in decent physical condition." Running helps, Horton said,citing various examples of runners who have extraordinary health.

"The Lord willing, I want to run the rest of my life. I hope to have finished a run the daybefore I die."

Thisattitude isa reflection of Horton's basic running philosophy, which isbased ona quote byDr. Lawrence Lamb:

"Live aslong asyouwant to, and want toaslong asyou live."

Dobson puts emphasis on Making Disciples

Many veteran observers of the LBC scene said thisyear was the school's best interms ofunityand harmony inthe college community.

Much of the credit must goto Dean Edward Dobson who began the year with a goal of placing more emphasis ondiscipleship, which hecalls"preventive medicine."

"We wanted tocreate an atmosphere where people would

spiritualpunch toeverything we do."

Putting these projectsinto effect didn't come without some sacrifice.Although a popular speaker outside ofLBC, Dobson had tocurtailhispreaching engagements. He also turnedthe coaching ofthe soccer team over to Bill Bell.

Dobson used the time saved through the rechannelling of his efforts towork with the students

want to liveforthe Lord,rather than treating constant disciplinary diseases," Dobson said.

Dobson worked fora closer Christian community on campus thisyear bystarting atthe top with supervisors andthen withRA's and prayer leaders

"We've really been emphasizing the importance of Christian growth and maturity — firstinour own lives,andthen howwe know we help students,giving anoverall

and the newly formed Sunday evening services

"IfI could emphasize anything, communicate anything to the students," Dobson said,"itwould be the importance ofspiritual growth — letting your experiences here atschool be a time when you can really grow inthe Lord, keeping personal devotionsand learning tolove people."

Hanna has a Wa y With Words

Dr. Suhail Hanna was never at a loss for words.

It was not that he was constantly talking Instead,there was a constant streamof words coursing from Dr. Hanna's brain,flowing through hisarm, and pouring from hispen Around LBC, Dr Hanna was known asa new teacher in the English department. More than that,he was a writer Hisarticles have appeared inmany Christian magazines, such as Christianity Today andEternity,aswellas ina number of scholarlyjournals. He is also the author of a novel.

During the school months, Hanna wrote whenever hecould get a block of three or four hourson school days, aswell as on weekends andextended vacations. Hewrote eight hours a day during the summer. Along with this, hewas constantly "retooling" (gathering notes infilesforfuture stories)

"It'shard," hecommented. "It requires a lotofdicipline,a lot of cups ofcoffee."

Histeaching aided inhis writing.

"Ilove teaching,because I like students Really,some of my material comes from my students. Students offer a kind of interaction;every once ina while I find a really fascinating student who I could work inasa character inone ofmy works

"Teaching gives me more time to write,"headded, reflecting over hisprevious job as divisional chairman atanother college, as well asother job offershe received before coming toLBC

Although hedealt with many subjects,hisstrongest interest at thistime is"religious manin an educated society." Inthisrespect, Hanna felt that Christian colleges

should "move towards a high degree of excellence" inorderto be a witness tothe intellectual world.Another reason for the strengthening of academics at Christian institutions was tohelp the Christian understandand appreciate hisown beliefs.

"The Bible,for example," Hanna said,"isa brilliant book — God's Divine Word If a student doesn't have a good grounding in the English language,a lotofwhat the Bible says would be missed. There is a tremendous amount of historical knowledge offered in the Bible.A good Christian school should offer us the best inhistorical developments,historical backgrounds of a Biblical passage."

The ability topresent views such as these onpaper takes a special talent

"A writer has differentgifts," Hanna explained "Heis ableto observe andperceive reality — the cruelties,the joys,the delights of what really meshes us in together into the forming of the human condition W e expectour writers tobe able toseeand interpret the world,andtoshare thisinterpretation with others."

"Iliketodo that.I have that sensitivity."

In college,he'd never have guessed he'd make .. . The Switch

Ifstudents could peer into the future andsee what they would be doing twenty-five years after they graduate,they might be very surprised Librarian Richard Elmer certainly would have been amazed ifhehadknown, while studying music at Houghton College inHoughton, N.Y.,that he would one daybe an instrumental figure inestablishing a college library

Itwaswhile teaching musicat Cleveland Bible College that Elmer firstbecame involved in library work. "Itwasa matterof necessity," heexplained Unable to locate necessary materials because of the disorganized state of the college's phonograph record library, Elmerwas "determined tofixthe situation."

He began commuting tonear-by Kent State University,taking courses in library science, and eventually received a master's degree inthatfield.

The strenuous pace ofteaching

and leading a traveling A Capella Choir eventually became too demanding, sothe transition from classroom tolibrary was made In 1963, Elmer became the Reader Services Librarian atFort Wayne Bible College. He moved to the Fort Wayne Public Library (the largest inIndiana)in 1967,as the head of the Art andMusic Department

Coming toLBC inJanuaryof 1976, Elmer served asActing Library Director for three years.He directed the library's move from the Timberlake Campus to the downtown facilities, andwas the major figure indrawing up the plans for the Learning Resource Center tobe built onLiberty Mountain. Henowserves as the Reclassification Librarian

Referring tohismusical training, Elmer states,"Idon't get many opportunities tosing or conduct anymore, but music isstill myfirst love."

Keeping intune with hispdst career,Librarian Richard Elmer sings atPleasant View Baptist Church

Her colleagues inthe English department said that their fondest memory ofDr Barbara White was her sense ofhumor,whichone called "her laughing disposition."

Dr. White died unexpectedly in her home onFebruary 13, 1980

Ina special chapel tribute to Dr White,English department chairperson Ruth Chamberlin said Dr. White's lifewascharacterized by her genuine concern for the needs ofothers.

"Not only wasshe open toall in need," Mrs Chamberlain said

"but she also sought out thoseto whom she could minister." A former student said,"Fromher honesty,I learned toappreciate truth."

Her fellow faculty members remember her also for her patriotism,her love for travel and literature, andher dedicationto herstudents.

"These traitswe remember — and already miss," saidMrs. Chamberlin, "in onewhose life was measured not only by a brief length but by a great depth."

Mrs.Ruth Chdmberlin gives a commemorative speech at thechapel service following Dr. White's dedth.Theservice wasdedicated toDr.White,and featured speakers and singers who paid tribute toher memory

But they're only kidding.

Sally is Gerry's mother

"I think it's neat that Mo m is in school," Gerry said "Most parents tend to sitback and relax after graduation, but Ithink Mo m and Dad are justgetting started. It think it's great!"

Sally began hercollege education five years ago She originally came toLBC totake Bible courses while her husband was going to school.She wanted to be prepared tohelp her husband in his work. Then in July,1978,she feltthe Lord calling her into education Sally plans to teach inpublic schools "I see a real need tobe a witness in the public schools. IfChristians pull out, who's left?"

Randy DeVaul flieshigh for the Lord

The young pilot pushedthe Cessna-172 attop speed, yetstill it would not climb. Caught in a downdraft onthe leeward side of the mountain,the plane dipped dangerously low "Ifwe hit5800 feet," warned the experienced co-pilot,"we'll crash." Yet the plane continued on its termination trip. Six thousand feet,then 5900. When only a hundred feet from death, the pilot began topray fervently "C'mon, Lord,we gotta getout of it!"

Slowly,slowly,the plane began to climb.Finally a safe heightwas reached, andthe emergency was over Senior Randy DeVaul, the plane's pilot,tucked another exciting flying experience under his belt.

"Flying was something I was always interested in,but I thought it would never become a reality,"

said DeVaul. Then came the opportunity asa teenager to join the CivilAir Patrol After exceptional service they awarded him with a ground school scholarship,which enabled him to earn hisprivate pilot'slicence.

"Iwas saved atan early age, and when I was eight the Lord called me tothe mission field." said DeVaul. "At the age of twelve Godbegan tolay the Spanish-speaking world onmy heart." Sowhen the flying began. he started ataiming toward a

career as a missionary pilot.

When DeVaul arrivedin Lynchburg in 76 after hishigh school graduation the Lord's plans for hisfuture really began to gel. LBC's flying program was just getting off the ground. "I didn't have the money topayforflight lessons," said DeVaul, "butthe Lord worked it out He always gave me the right jobs"

DeVaul hopes toutilize his training asa missionary pilot in the mountains andjungles ofSouth America. He willprimarily be transporting missionaries andBible translators,andsupplying them with medicine

"Flying is something that isgoing to be my life'scareer, but is already a part ofme," said DeVaul. "There's always something new about it It'snever routine You never land the same way twice Itgets into your blood "

Kearns . ..pushing for professional

"Ever since I left high school, playing professional football was in the back of my mind," said Steve Kearns Steve,a senior atLBC, hopes to play football in the Canadian Football League.

"Being a Canadian I have a slightadvantage," said Steve. "They have tohave a certain percentage of Canadians on each team." Steve also believes that playing for an American college willhelp him. "They believe the coaching and competition is better in the states."

Steve,whohas played football foreight years andhaswon honors such asbeing chosen for the second team Churchman's All American, hopes tobe drafted as a wide receiver. If heisn't,Steve said hewould attempt tosignon as a free agent

"I don't think there wasany

great turning point inmy career that directed me topro ball," said Steve, "although I do have a twin brother inBritish Columbia who plays for Simion Frazier University and has hadsome success. So that has helped me."

Although he is optimistic, Steve doesn't believe itwillbe easy "Being realistic,I'd have to say that although my main goal is to secure a playing position on a team, there are guys that have been there for two or three years and I'd have towork my wayup."

Steve is also looking forward to the challenge professional football gives hisChristian witness. "In high school I didn't really come outof my shell,"he said, "but since being atLBCI have learned to talk to others andam excited about the opportunities that playing pro ball willgive m e to do justthat."

"People are the ministry,"said Chayka, a missions major. "If you don't love people,youdon't love the ministry."

Chayka credits SMITE withhis outlook towards meeting people's needs. "Not just theirphysical needs," headded, "butspiritual needs as well."

Having transferred from Word of LifeBible Institute, where he traveled with The Word ofLife singing team, hewasinterestedin the singing ministry ofSMITE. He joined,despite uncertainty because he "wasn't calledto missions back then." But a year and a halflater, hefeltthe Lord calling him tothe field during a chapel service.

"Bruce Bell(from ElSalvador) was speaking onthe Great Commission." Chayka recalled "He said that the word 'Go'isa command; people don't haveto pray about a command. Instead, they should pray about staying home!"

The stunned Dean Dobson

was given the car on May 9 during a specialAirtime. Itwas an example of what a group ofindividuals can do when they are tightlywound together in a cause. Itwas the student body flexing itsunited muscles,saying,"We are one."

^"Many problems dme with bur new students,"said Don Cooper, an undershepherd in the program with tour students under hispersonal supervision

"We as undershepherds acting with permission on a new student's behalf, would take their problems if necessary to Dean Willmington or Associate Dean Ken Chapman. Thisway they could be dealt with promptly before a student felt likethrowing inthe towel and leaving school thinking possibly that nobody cared, when infact we did!

"Ipersonally me! WrlU'WJW!01 my undershepherds between Monday and Wednesday," Don continued "Italked with them during our morning break one on one I would pray with them ana clarify any guestions they might have We shared prayer reguests together I was concerned with what the Lord was doing in their lives "

Cindy Stern,a secona semester student who participated as a new student,shared her experience

"Iwas justa time to know that somebody cared enough to meet with me once a week." Cindy recalled "For someone to say that they wanted me to do well inall my classes to do my very best and to encourage me to be active while I was here at LBI meant a lot to me "

Gary Watkins said about hisundershepherd. Bruce Teare,"It was great to have someone likeBruce to look up to. Someone to give me direction concerning school He told me that if I ever needed anything not to hesitate to callon him. He was always there to give me a hand "

"We wanted to prevent student dropouts and spiritualcasualties." Don Cooper said "That was the whole purpose of the Undershepherd Ministry W e wanted each student to develop into a spiritually dynamic Christian while here at IBI "

Thisyear's team expanded itspuppet ministry under the enthusiastic direction ofTim Lowder Here Craig Bolduc,Tim Wagner, and Larry Keen groom their puppet companions

The Bible Aflame Singers wer e a n outreach ministry of LBI Under the direction of Tim Broome, the tea m spent man y hours eac h wee k preparing their program which developed into a balanced blend of puppet ministry, prayer, Biblecentered preaching, an d musical concert programs featuring the chorale an d various other musical ensembles.

During the school year, the Bible Aflame Singers traveled to local churches within 500 miles of Lynchburg "Our program is very flexible," said Broome "It is designed to mee t the need s set forth by the local church staff."

Through engagement s at small and large churches alike most of the financial needs of this ministry wer e me t through the love gifts an d offerings

Summe r singing tours presented by the Bible Aflame Singers aided in promoting the Institute. They brought a fuller awareness throughout the country of the curriculum offered at LBI

Of these youn g people Broom e said, "They are ambassadors of the TRBC ministry, an d uphold the high standards required to mak e the Thoma s Roa d Baptist Church a leader of fundamental Baptist churches in America Man y people hav e com e to kno w Christ personally, decisions for service hav e bee n made , an d still others are no w In school here as a resi ministry."

Senior Day fellowship and testimonies slowed graduates down from the rush offinals and graduation long enough to reflect and remember and talk of dreams and things to come

In 1980,Dean Willmington and others traveled to Petra on horseback forthe fourth year,through "The Corridor"or Sig for two miles into the citythought to be the home of Esau. Many Biblescholars believe the caves ofPetra willbe the hiding place of the Jews during thefinal days ofthe Tribulationand the enclosed letter sealed within the Scripturesalong with the signatures is to encourage them thattheir protection and safety at that time has already been prayed for

IKen Blevinsand the entire student body sign a copy of the King James Bible, which including a letterwould be sealed and buried inthe ancient caves ofPetra.

On October 29, 1979,Dean Willmington dedicated hisnew Bible Handbook to the Lord It was an historic occasion at LBI Dr Wendel Hawley,president of Tyndale House publishers, was present "Think how we here at Tyndale House feel," Hawley said "We have a golden opportunity,through Dr Willmington's material,to help edify God's people of allages."

Everyone held hands while Dean Willmington read a special prayer he had written thanking God forthe occasion and asking that nothing be included inthe handbook that would not glorify Him; that thisbook would be used to minister to millionsof believers, and be instrumental inthe salvation of thousands of sinners,and that any royaltiesearned from itssale would be put back into the Lord's work The service ended with the congregation singing "AllHail The Power of Jesus' Name."

LBIAssociate Dean Ken Chapman presents Dr.Willmington with a finished product of 35 years -hisbook "How to Plant,Pastor,and Promote a Local Church." With sincere concern and compassion, especially for men preparing for the ministry,Ken Chapman has worked diligently gathering information and experience inorder to help others Practicality is the essence this"How To " Training and equiping hisfellow workers is hisutmost purpose atLBI

Many LBIstudents worked within the ministry'smaintenance department whilein school.By the looksof thingsafter a rally in LCA's gym, Bobby Householder and Donald Beers seem bewildered as to where to start

Classroom Learning Is Put Into Practice

One of the themes of LBIisthe action-oriented curriculum What is learned inthe classroom is put to work, then into practice in the "laboratory" of TRBC. This isthe Christian Service area of a student's training and helps to equip him or her for theirministry upon graduation From prison ministry to Jolly Sixties to Bible

Aflame Singers,there isa wide spectrum of opportunities through which a student can put into practice the principles of the Word of God. Students have the opportunity to win souls,counsel Christians,disciple converts and serve the Lord through thisvery important arm ofLBI.

Some students,through the new

church planting ministry,had the chance to pastor or assistin pastoring new local congregations. Whether pastoring. singing or witnessing, the experience gained through the Christian Service program will stand the students of LBIin good stead as they go forth to claim a lost world for the cause ofChrist.

Since experience is thebest teacher, JimMoon annaully instructs LBI's pastors majors inbaptism Timing words and actions simultaneously waslikelearning to drive a stick shift. Barefoot and soaking wet,Jerry Edwards practices on Richard Shoemaker.

W e Are One — the theme held a great significance to the SELAH staff thisyear,according to the staff's new adviser. Tommy Thomason.

"The 1980 LBC yearbook staff became a microcosm of the whole school," Thomason said. "I could see it inthe interpersonal and working relationships of the staff."

The closeness and the willingness to help each othere was the

difference from other staffs he had worked on,Thomason said

The staff was not only a working relationship,but a spiritual closeness and caring — they cared about each other as individuals.

"The staff became not only a working unit,but a socialunit," Thomason said,"like the body of Christ — when one member was hurting the whole body hurt withit not just an organization, but an

organism.

The responsibility of the book, according to Thomason, was to mirror the lifeof the collegein 1979-80

"A yearbook is good magazine journalism," he said. "It'snot our job to create spirituality,but to accurately reflect the events of the year. To the extent that Christ was glorified inthe lifeof the school thisyear,thisyear's SELAH willalso glorify Him."
