The National Association of Aca­demic Advisers (NACADA) se­lected James Pickering, assistant professor of telecommunications at LU, as the highest ranked adviser in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States this year.

Pickering was awarded outstand­ing academic adviser of the year at Liberty University last spring. Af­ter Pickering received the award. Wilbur Groat, director of faculty advising in the College of General Studies, submitted his application to NACADA for national competition.

The NACADA will host a lunch­eon in Louisville, Ky., Oct. 9 in honor of the 10 highest ranked ad­visers in the nation. During the ceremo­nies Pickering will receive a certifi-cateof merit ac­knowledging his accomplishments.

Pickering plans to dedicate the award to his father, who died last Octo­ber. "I'd like to James Pickering honor him with this award for all the money, effort pa­tience, concern and love that he gave me as I was going through college, going through graduate school and teaching at this university," Picker­ing said.

"I find it very ironic that I will be receiving the award just two days prior to the one-year anniversary of my dad's passing away," the adviser said. "I think that there is a reason behind it. I don't know what it is, but I want to dedicate the award to him and his memory."

Pickering attributes his success to taking time out of his schedule for die students. He said, "I suspect one reason why Uiey (NACADA) ac­knowledged me is that I spend time with die students.

"When a student comes in for aca­demic advising, I don't just sign the form. We'llsitdownwiUitheirclass selections and not only see how they fit in with this semester, but also Please see Pickering, Page 5

with die next two semesters. And at the same time, I'll be getting them in gear to mink about what they plan to do when Uiey graduate."

CurrenUy, Pickering advises about 50 students, and about 20 students from odier majors seek his advice for scheduling.

Pickering stressed die importance of knowing all his advisees by name. He also enumerated essentials for an effective advising process for bodi the students and the advising faculty.

"First, the students and all die fac­ulty advisers need to have a catalog widiin arms reach. My catalog is always behind me. So, if I don't know die answer, it's in die catalog,"

he said. "The second diing

would be to have a status sheet of what dieir basic require­ments are and to fol­low through with diat. Every student needs to have a cata­log and a status sheet.

"Also, students should not wait until registration period. They should meet widi dieir adviser al­most a month before

the registration period. Then their faculty adviser will have more time for them."

Anodier technique Pickering uses in advising is specialized time sched­uling. "I have my secretary block out 15-minute time slots. That might be something other faculty advisers could use," he said.

According to Pickering, die award has had a positive effect on die De­partment of Telecommunications. "It excited the faculty members in my department, and it excited the students because they know diey're getting quality advice. They don't have to be in die School of Educa­tion, die School of Religion, or die School of Business, which is a big department with a lot more faculty members," he said.

Pickering believes his accomplish­ments are an outgrowtii of his

LeFevre hits Lynchburg By DOUGLAS R. DEMPSEY Feature/ Opinion Editor

The house lights d im and a momen­tary hush falls over die crowd. An instant later a wall of sound and light explodes from die stage, complete w i tli laser lights, smoke machines and fireworks.

Sound like Bon Jovi? Def Lep-pard? Poison?

It's Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart, a Chrisuan rock band diat has been called die greatest stage band in Chrisuan music today. The people of Lynchburg will have die opportunity to judge for tiiemselves when Mylon and Broken Heart bring dieir "Crank it Up" tour to E.C. Glass Auditorium Friday, Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m.

LeFevre, die group's founder, has a long history in both gospel and secular music. He began his career widi his family's gospel group and has worked widi such people as Eric Clapton, Elvis Presley and The Who.

In die early'70s LeFevre was a suc­cessful rock musician, playing and partying widi die elite of secular rock and roll.

"I stayed stoned 24 hours a day for 10 to 12years," LeFevre admitted re­gretfully. Eventually, his lifestyle caught up widi him, and LeFevre overdosed on heroin.

"When you wake up and diere's a whole day missing and diey 'repump-ing your stomach.—Man, it's pretty scary. You have some bad dreams, and you know God's trying to tell you something.

Strack encourages student dedication

"At diat point I really didn't know whether I would go to heaven or hell, and diat scared me," LeFevre said.

A long and trying process of finding God followed, and in 1981 LeFevre was ordained as minister of Mount Paran Church in Atlanta. One year later he began his musical ministry widi Broken Heart. The ministry now has 14 people, all of whom are cither ordained ministers or studying forordinaUon.

"We have a vision," Paul Joseph, die group's keyboardist, said. "We have a concept of what God wants us to do; and it includes everyone in die crew, from die guy who runs die spodight to die guy who drives die truck. We have to have diat unity; it keeps us going.

"Of course, when you have 14 guys on a bus traveling 200 days a year, you have to be in agreement on what you're doing."

And what is it die group is doing? "In every concert we have a time of

preaching and an invitation," Joseph said. "If someone says 'We want your music, but we don't want you to talk,' men we don't do die concert."

LeFevre said die group's primary goal is to reach young people.

"It's die young people God has called us to reach. Rock and roll has lied to diem widi its philosophy of 'if it feels good, do it,'" LeFevre explained.

The results seem to indicate Bro­ken Heart is accomplishing its goal. One high school girl who attended a Mylon concert had her life changed.

"In 1984 I tried to commit suicide.

I planned how and when I would die, and as I pulled die trigger I was screaming out to die Lord to help me," she said. "Later on, my uncle took me to a Mylon concert, and I diought diey were just a bunch of Chrisuan pigs. But by die end of die concert, die Lord had worked in my heart; and when diey gave die altar call, I was die first person down front.

The group's mediod of reaching its audience is hard work mixed widi rock and roll and a strong message of God.

"We sweat. There isn't any way to do what we do widiout sweating," LeFevre said. "But we also preach."

The group's methods have come under criticism from many promi­nent evangelists.

"One year several well—known evangelists mentioned us by name and said we were evil. People started picketing our concerts," Joseph said. "At one place diey placed pho­tos of us on die doors widi 'straight from hell' written across our faces.

"But if we diought we were doing sometiiing counterproductive to what die Lord wants us to be doing, we'd quit," Joseph added.

Although not sponsoring die con­cert, die LU Office of Student Devel­opment has discount tickets available for die show.

Tickets for die concert are avail­able from die Office of Student Life, located in David's Place, for $8.50. Tickets can be purchased elsewhere for $11 in advance or $13 die day of die show.

'The toughest tiling about really living for Christ when you've been saved out of die scene isn't die alco­hol and drugs; it's the Friday nights and Saturday nights. You not only have to give up substances, but you have to give up your life," Jay Strack said. The evangelist who spoke dur­ing die four days of Spiritual Empha­sis meetings, was describing his sal­vation.

On Strack's toughest Friday night 20 years ago, he and his future wife attended his first Christian music concert. Strack recalls being im­pressed with the "sharp-looking kids who were committed to Christ." The "kids" were members of TRUTH. Years later, when Strack was invited to speak at a youth evangelistic con­ference in Florida; TRUTH was also invited. Since then, Strack and TRUTH work about 20 engagements togedier every year.

Today, Strack is a leading youth evangelist who is on die road 39 weeks of the year. His family adjusts by traveling with him. In die past year Strack has ministered in the So­viet Union, Romania, China, Sin­gapore and many odier countries as well as touring throughout the

United States. He has two daughters who are 12

and 15 years old. "I'm a firm be­liever diat my children leam more by being widi me and going places around die world dian diey would sitting in die classroom. I have a straight-up understanding widi dieir teachers diat family comes first."

Strack said dial he enjoys minister­ing at LU and seeing die respon­siveness and openness of die teachers and students. 'This has been, bar none, my favorite college to come to and speak at. I look forward to it more than any odier college that I goto. There's been more of a dedica­tion dian we've had."

He also said dial LU is experienc­ing a revived dedication. "I'm very impressed widi die LU students— diey're sharp enough to know dial they don't have it all together. There's a wisdom in dial. There's a wisdom in saying, 'You know, I'm really struggling with some tilings and I don't have all die answers; but I'm willing to look to heaven for die answers.' So mere is an openness."

The size of die crowd attending the meetings also encouraged Strack. "I understand dial this has been die largest volunteer crowd. And even

though there aren't as many stu­dents this year because of scholar­ship cutbacks, tiicre are more stu­dents coming out to die services. I think dial says sometiiing about die openness and new dedication on campus."

Strack described his two primary hopes for LU students and lor today's youdi.

First they should "make sure that they are radically committed to Jesus Christ, not 'churchianity,' not this nonsense dial 'Well, this is die way that I've been raised.' I can turn Jesus on and off like alight switch. You either take Him or leave Him."

He continued," Secondly, that the pursuit of excellence would be their goal— academically and morally."

Kaleidoscope, a volunteer organi­zation designed to promote commu­nity activities and cultural events, is gearing up for its 17th annual fall festival which includes everything from art exhibits to die famed Vir­ginia Ten Miler.

"It began as a joint effort of the Chamber of Commerce and die Jun­ior League with 'A Day In The Park' and has mushroomed into a two-and-a-half week extravaganza with over 30 different activities sponsored by 75 area businesses," Kaleidoscope President Scott Glass said.

Kaleidoscope festivities begin Sept. 13 widi an art exhibit at Ran­dolph-Macon Woman's College. The autumn activities culminate widi die Ten Miler—a distance run featuring 3,000 athletes from throughout die United States and 12 foreign countries.

Events such as Kaleidoscope often benefit a community financially as well as socially and culturally, al­though it is difficult to determine die actual financial benefit Lynchburg derives from Kaleidoscope.

"We interviewed 350 participants and 25 CEOs from various corporate sponsors in an effort to get a handle on some kind of statistic, and we

haven't been able to get any con­crete data," Glass said.

Glass said that the influx of people coming for die Ten Miler on Sept. 28 will boost area hotel and restaurant sales considerably. He also noted diat die many arts and crafts shows draw people from far outside central Virginia.

Kaleidoscope is a non-profit or­ganization. "Right now we operate as a promotional organization that brings togedier the various sponsors and events in a kind of broad slice-of-life production," Glass said.

Glass responded with enthusiasm when asked about the possibility of one of Liberty's clubs or organiza­tions sponsoring its own event to be included in Kaleidoscope.

"Although die time line for this year's schedule is already set, we do encourage any potential sponsors to watch the local paper for a spon­sors' meeting, which take place in February," Glass commented.

Many of die activities such as tennis tournaments, distance cy­cling tours and hikes up die Appala­chian trail can still be joined for a small registration fee.

Information may be picked up at the Visitors Information Center in downtown Lynchburg. More infor­mation is available at 847-1811.

Editorial "...Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty."

II Corinthians 3:17

Senate has potential to accomplish great things for students

The student senate is preparing to begin yet another year of trying to legislate a better life for LU students. When the first official meeting is called to order Sept 19 the senators will have to choose one of two paths.

They will have the opportunity to replay past years by proposing, debating, and passing the same old legislation that has been brought up ad nauseam.

These bills, which have never passed the administration, include such things as TVs in the dorms, extended curfew, and a looser dress code.

Year after year the senate tries pushing these bills through; year after year entire campaigns are based on these ideas, and year after year everybody thinks, "Well, wouldn't this be nice..." as the bills are systematically rejected by the admini­stration.

The fact is, if those changes are going to be made, they will be made by the administration regardless of how many senate bills are passed. The powers that be will not be pressured into making changes with which they are not comfortable, so we may as well not try to push them Changes will come, but in their time, not ours.

The other route the senate could take is a bit more radical. They could choose to enact a large portion of Gerald Smith's platform from last year's presidential elections, mixed with a good dose of Dave Dawson's ideas.

Dawson has some firm ideas on finally accomplishing some of those "same old ideas." He's also working on a new type of fundraiser and an actual plan for improving commu­nication between SGA and the students.

The result would be legislation that will directly benefit the students without raising eyebrows in the Mansion. Instead of focusing on what we don't have or can't do, let's create some new concepts.

The potential of the LU student body to unite, to move toward a common goal, and to make a better life for itself by itself is unlimited. If we have any visionaries in the senate or in SGA perhaps we will see a new approach.

If that happens, we will all benefit in ways that far surpass the privilege of watching Letterman in your dorm room and seeing a late movie off campus.

Final call for information on clubs, events

Since our first request we have received one inquiry and no information. If you want any announcements in The Champion, bring the club information to the journalism lab.

Please type your information and include times, dates, locations and cost of all events. We do not have the personnel to cover all meetings, so if you want the coverage we need your cooperation.

Tolerance should be practiced By BEN LaFROMBOIS City News Editor

The Confederate flag is a vital re­minder of the most tragic episode in our nation's history. It symbolizes a great struggle, which could have been avoided. Ignoring one of the symbols of that conflict will in no way promote the cause for unity but will demon­strate the same intolerance and misun­derstanding thatigniteda fire thatburned up the lives of 620,000 people.

We are still feeling the effects of the struggle that ripped lives apart for generatios. It serves to remind us that banning one of the symbols of that war will not remove the hurt, nor replace the lives lost. We must not blame the flag for what happened or for current

conditions. These are our own fault. We must look at the heart of the issue rather man the periphery.

Politically, the Civil War was fought over a state's right to secede from the Union. The institution of slavery was just one of many issues that emotion­ally entangled the tragic conflict To Southerners slavery was morally cen­tral , but was politically secondary to the issue of a state's right to self deter­mination. The confusion resulting from the embellishment of the political is­sue with a condescension eliminated the possibility of a peaceful resolution of either issue.

Impatience moved the Southern states to leave the Union while intoler­ance by the North pushed them to such

a verdict. Observation of the develop­ment of the United States one could easily see how slavery would have been obsolete within a short time withouttheCivilWar.this was Lincoln's belief and contention. In the absence of condescension, slavery would have been forced out economically by the industrial revolution.

Having the lesson of the Civil War before us, this form of intolerance is now inexcusable/The flag banning article resurrected the same conde­scension to get rid of a symbol that represents much more than a single issue.

The flag stood for the Confederate nation, not for slavery. Racism is not imbedded in a flag, but in the hearts of man. The absence of a flag will not change the inner man.

Do we want to remove the Civil War from our past? Intolerance caused untold losses during the war and split our nation for future generations The same intolerance of other people's life­style, culture and beliefs w ill only cause more damage.

Lincoln said, "Towering genius disdains a beaten path." The path of revenge after the war is what he de­sired to avoid. Multitudes of untamed minds and passions followed the beaten path of revenge.

It is disappointing to think the hall­mark of free speech has been ignored by those who desire to ban die flag. The fact of free speech in me United States disputes me reasonableness of banning the flag.

We must now tower above the past and tolerate, even forebear, our Ameri­can brothers who differ with us. It is time to learn that accentuating differ­ences only makes them worse. It is better to tolerate the flag man to create and accentuate the jaded feelings that have hindered the development of our nation. The fact that we are One Nation under God has been proven; the ban­ning of the Confederate flag will only prove that we have learned nothing from whence it came.

The LU Forum

Flag column rebuked Dear Editor,

In the Liberty Newspaper, The Champion, Douglas Dempsey wrote an article entitled, "Southern Rebels Rewrite History."

First of all, as an employee of Lib­erty University, I resent this criticism of the South in our school paper. Also, I was born and raised in the South, as were my mother and father, my grand­parents, and my great-grandparents.

My job widi Liberty University takes me to almost all of die50 states. I find a lot of offensive in the northern states, but I am not writing letters complain­ing about it! I don't know what state Douglas is from. I assume he's from "up north."

I disagree tiiat the Confederate flag represents racist attitudes and a period of "primitive" backward opinions towards blacks in America.

Does me flag of Texas offend Mexi­cans? Remember the Alamo? Does the American flag offend the Indians that we fought against under die flag of the United States? IUiinknot.

Concerning me South, my sugges­tion to Douglas is to "love it or leave

it."

Harold Knowles

Flag column filled with many flaws Dear Editor,

I am writing in regard to Doug Dempsey's article "Southern rebels rewrite history" in me Sept 4m edition of The Champion. The article was flawed.

Dempsey's attack on the South and Confederate flag was prejudiced. Someone yellingthatthe"South'sgonna do it again" is not rewriting history.

The Confederate flag is not racist or representative of a hostile nation comparable to Iraq. Racism would still exist if the Confederate flag was banned. Racism does exist outside me South.

The Confederate flag represents me efforts of Southerners to preserve their individual rights against the prospect of too powerful a government. The effort of Southerners to preserve dieir freedom from tyranny was reminis­cent of me struggle for freedom in 1776. The founding fathers were called rebels, too.

The Union, mat Dempsey so tear­fully brags about, was (an accomplice) in the oppression of me African-American race. The Union guaranteed slavery in die Constitution. African-Americans were only freed by die Lincoln administration as a means to increase federal power.

The end of die Civil War saw me freed men left by die Union to suffer more oppression. For 100 years die Union did nothing to alleviate this oppression.

The civil rights legislation of die 1960s was just another effort to get more power for die federal govern-

God blesses in spite of struggles

Emerick survives severe burns in explosion By CYNDI STROUD Champion Reporter

Severe burns from a radiator explo­sion hospitalized Dane Emerick, dean of men, this summer, but he believes his "crazy" summer was just one more exampleof how God has richly blessed him despite a life filled with struggles.

Emerick said his summer was "crazy!" In June he was traveling through Pennsylvania, and his car, an old Pontiac, started to overheat

"I put some coolant in it, but the car continued toact up," Emerick explained. "Several miles further down the road (in Virginia), I pulled over; and despite warnings of never opening a hot radia­tor, I pulled up the hood of the car and opened the radiator."

The radiator blew up in Emerick's face; and as he stepped back in retreat, the boiling water followed. Emerick was taken to the hospital with second-and third-degree burns on his face.

"I looked like Freddy Krueger," Emerick said with a laugh. " No one

recognized me." Since then, however, Australia. his face has healed with no scars. SoonafterCreation.heattendedFish

An incident last year affirmed Emerick was having an impact in the students' lives when SGA presented him with a new car to replace his old Pontiac. "It is more than just a car. I appreciate what the students have done for me, and it has shown me that God is using me. Icouldn'tbelieveitwhen SGA presented it, and I didn't know what to say," Emerick said. "The first thing I did was call my wife and share

the news with her." Emerick even described the way he

met his wife as a blessing from God. Before coming to Liberty, Emerick was a youth pastor in Altoona, Pa., where he met his wife Joan. One of his youth members was dating a young lady and asked Emerick to keep an eye on her while he prepared to become a youth pastor at Liberty. That same young lady later became Emerick's wife, and he has been keeping an eye on her ever since.

Emerick is married and has four children. Nathan is eleven years old. Dana is thirteen. Kira is seven, and Tina is five.

The Lighter Side

Perfect peace comes through staying of mind

By THE SCRIBE Special to the Champion

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: be­cause he trusteth in Thee." — Isaiah 26:3

One of three concepts found in this frequently quoted verse is the method of achieving "perfect peace." The key is the "staying" of our minds.

Webster defines the mind as "the element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills and especially reasons."

"Feels..." "Perceives..." "Thinks..." "Wills..." "Reasons..." Looking at that list reminds me of

Benjamin Franklin's plans to achieve moral perfection. Most of us have studied that in a literature class some­where along the line. In his Autobiog­raphy this great man listed 13 virtues he wanted to perfect within himself.

He described how he set about to achieve this moral perfection. He

tracked one virtue per week and re­corded his behavior on a daily chart in a"littlebook."Week by weekhe worked his way through the 13 virtues, four times a year. He was satisfied that this discipline contributed greatly to his "constant felicity" of life.

In order to "stay" our minds on God we have to control five areas which often war with one another: our feel­ings, the seat of our emotions; our per­ception, the way we interpret and react to the environment in which we live and the people in it; our thoughts, which often go in 20 directions at once on any given day; our wills, which can be an ungodly source of pride or a positive source of determination; and our ability to reason, which can be our downfall in the very area God desires the most — our trust in Him.

So now we see that God knows we can have "perfect peace" if our minds our stayed on Him because we trust in Him.

How in the world do we make it work?'

Study the art of staying your mind this week.

Copy Editor "Eat four servings of grain daily."

You've probably heard it since you first learned the four food groups in second grade.

However, one trip to the supermar­ket might leave you overwhelmed by the variety of foods available that are classified as grains. For example, just in the bread aisle, there is multi-grain bread, oat-bran bread, whole-wheat bread, white bread, etc. What should you choose? Does itreally make a dif­ference?

First, of all it is important to under­stand what a grain is and what "whole grain" means. A grain is "a small, hard seed or seedlike fruit, especially that of any cereal plant, as wheat, rice, corn, rye.etc.," according to Webster'sNew World Dictionary. "Whole grain" means that all parts of the seed except the inedible husk have been kept, in­cluding the bran,endosperm and germ.

Despite the frequent urgings of nu­tritionists to eat whole grains, you may not see the purpose. After all, they say

you need whole grains for the vitamins and fiber they provide. But with all the advances in nutrition science today, you can buy bread or crackers with vitamins and bran added. So, what's all the fuss?

First of all, processed grains are considered enriched when the manu­facturers have restored iron and niacin to the levels found in whole wheat, and thiamin and riboflavin to levels higher than in the whole grain. However, the enriched product still rates far below the whole grain in vitamin, mineral and fiber content

Another reason to emphasize whole grains in your diet is that as in so many other areas of nutrition the closer the food is to its natural state, the better. Although nutrition scientists have done their best to determine what is neces­sary in our diets, they are not infallible. Trace elements or certain combina­tions of vitamins, minerals and fiber that God designed into the whole grain may be necessary to help us maintain optimal health.

Because of this, you should opt for

thelessprocessed.more complete grains when you have the chance. This means choosing brown rice over white rice, oatmeal over oat bran crackers and chips, a whole-wheat cereal rather than Cream of Wheat, etc.

However, there are still two pitfalls to watch for as you try to eat more wholegrains. The first is that packag­ing can be deceiving. For instance, you can buy a loaf of "wheat bread" in the store which is actually caramel-colored white bread. To be sure you are getting the real thing, check the ingredients list to make sure that whole wheat (or graham) flour is listed first and that caramel is not listed among the ingredients.

The second pitfall is to focus on just one type of grain. You need variety because the fiber in different grains affects your body differently. Dr. John McDougall.anutritionistin Santa Rosa, Calif., recommends that each of us eat at least two different types of grains each day. For instance, oatmeal for breakfast and brown rice with dinner.

This may be a bit difficult for some

students because of the limited selec­tion of whole grains in Marriott, but you can do your best For instance, you can choose from whole-wheat bread, whole-wheatpitabread,grits,corn bread, oatmeal and rye bread. Occasionally, popcorn or soup with barley are also available.

For those who are able to buy their own foods, a wide variety of grains are available. For instance, whole grains such as barley, brown rice, oats, millet, bulgur and wheat berries are often available in the bulk foods section. In breads and hot cereals, you can find several whole-grain choices. In cold cereals, the choice is more limited if you are trying to watch your fat and sugar intake. But three tasty, fat-free, sugar-free products are Post Grape-Nuts, Nutri-Grain Bran Flakes and Nabisco Shredded Wheat.

By being sure your four servings of the bread and cereal group are whole grain, you can keep your health, learn to enjoy the hearty flavor of whole grains and add a wide variety of foods to your diet

By DAVID HART Champion Columnist

You and I may have never met, but perhaps we share a common bond. The enthusiasm with which we em­braced the new school year is slowly fading into a courteous handshake.

Only two weeks into the semester and I'm already overwhelmed by homework and personal obligations. As Jay Strack would say, "Help me Rhonda."

My teachers think that homework should mount up on wings like eagles and never grow tired until I faint And then what am I supposed to do... go to the clinic?

It's hard to stay positive when your

gas tank is empty and your laundry basket is full. Not to mention the fact that Cinemark changed the opening song which we all grew to love and respect

So how do we conquer the frustra­tions of our daily routines? How do we maintain a positive outlook and see the lighter side of life?

One way that I survive each day is finding the irony in otherwise com­mon occurrences. I strive to seek out the humor that constantly surrounds me on this campus. For instance...

• Have you ever noticed that it's always totally silent in the Speech Lab?

• Have you ever noticed that the majority of LU classrooms have one

floor, four walls, and zero ceilings? • Have you ever noticed that the

lights in Fine Arts 101 look like gigan­tic ice cube trays?

• Have you ever noticed that when you're sleepy a meal will wake you right up, but when you're wide awake it will put you right to sleep?

• Have you ever noticed that people at David's Place go in the television roomsnotto watch television,butrather to see who else is?

• Have you ever noticed that outside a laundry room there's that wonder­fully warm, dryer lint smell, but inside one it just plain smells?

• Have you ever noticed that the "Bald Spot" is not truly bald but rather

has a receding hairline? Now granted, the previous examples

won't fill your gas tank or fold your clean clothes, but that is exactly the point Responsibility and hard work is a part of life that we all must accept.

Whether you realize it or not, this is a critical time in the year. A time when you will either decide to laugh at the things you see, or be frustrated by them. The path you choose to take will follow you all year and affect your perspective on everydiing.

I firmly believe that your attitude is more important than your aptitude when it comes to learning. Don't let yourself be robbed of the joy associated with attending a school like Liberty.

LU Forum Continued from Page 2 ment by exploiting African-Americans.

The South was forced to secede from the Union. The Republican party was at the brink in 1860, of starting a pro­gram that would violate constitutional restraints in using governmental coer­cion to abolish slavery.

A historical proverb states that"free-dom is not lost all at once, but step by step." The Civil War began a process that increased federal power. The proc­ess has now reached a point where the government of the Union passes a lot of anti-Christian legislation.

In conclusion, I am glad that the Student Senate had sense enough not to pass legislation banning the Confeder­ate flag from campus. I applaud their wisdom!!

Flag column brings much dismay Dear Editor,

I just read, with much dismay, Mr. DouglasR. Dempsey,scolumn"South-ern Rebels Rewrite History" in your Sept 4 edition of The Champion. From the outset of Mr. Dempsey's

opinion one can surely realize that he is not from the south, and his ignorance on the subject is made clear.

Firsdy, Mr. Dempsey makes theclaim tiiat the South was "whipped...by a vastly superior nation." Has Mr. Dempsey read any history on die Civil War? 11 the South was whipped it sure did take die North a long time to do it Likewise, I do not mink die diousands ofUnion soldiers that were killed would agree witii me statement.

The Union, like Mr. Dempsey, thought dial die SouUi could never defeat them, even before die first shot was ever fired. Of course after die Batde of Bull Run die Union was not so sure.

As for die Confederate flag issue I would surely hope that die student senate would defeat a bill to ban die "stars and bars." For whatever one thinks die flag stands for it is a part of Soutiiem history and dial cannot be changed.

I am proud to be an American, and I am also proud lobe a Southerner. lam someone "down here" who cares. Obviously Mr. Dempsey has put down somediing he does not understand, and if one is not bom and bred in die Soutii it is doubd u 1 tiiey will ever understand.

J. Heath Lloyd

Flag is not what people think it is Dear Editor,

I am writing in response to Douglas Dempsey's column "Soutiiem Rebels Rewrite History." First off, let me say dial I do not own a pickup truck and have never shouted oulofacar or truck window that die Soudi will "do it again."

Mr. Dempsey's knowledge of his­tory is grossly lacking. (No doubt he learned it by reading a textbook pub­lished north of die Mason-Dixon line.) When and on what occasion did die Soutii declare war on die North? And when did the Confederacy seek to destroy die Union? The Confederacy did neither, but sought only to defend itself against Northern aggression af­ter Lincoln had 75,000 volunteers.

It seems Mr. Dempsey is offended by die Confederate flag, but I doubt he knows what die flag is. What most people consider to be the Confederate flag is not die official flag of die Con­federate States at all but was the batde flag used to rally troops. It does not stand for racism, except as used by splinter groups such as die Klan. (Of course, Mr. Dempsey would like eve­ryone to believe all southerners are like that.)

The flag stood for the pride of a people who wanted to defend home, family and land, and to oppose inter­ference by die federal government in local matters.

If die student senate wishes to pass a resolution against any flag, I suggest they be true to their patriotism and ban ALL flags and symbols on campus except Old Glory and die eagle.

Dr. Cline E. Hall Chairman, Dept. of History

Music too loud Dear Editor,

I setded into my seal and prepared to enjoy some good Christian music prior to die chapel message. Suddenly one of die handsome young singers turned and signaled for die sound technician to turn die volume up.

LU welcomes TRUTH member home By HEATHER HARRIS Champion Reporter

He took his place in front of the microphone with seven others seated behind him. He stood in silence and then, with sudden recognition, the audience broke into applause and a few screams to welcome Jody McBrayer back to the stage of Lib­erty University.

McBrayer made his Liberty Uni­versity debut as a member of the gospel singing group TRUTH. Evan­gelist Jay Strack joined TRUTH in ministering to students during the four days of Spiritual Emphasis Week.

Last year, McBrayer learned of an open position on the TRUTH team from his roommates, Jason and Jer­emy Breland, sons of Roger Breland, founder of the group. He joined the musical group one month ago, in time to sing on their newest album.

"One thing that is completely dif­ferent from any other experience I've ever had in singing is the Holy Spirit," McBrayer explained. "I never really understood the Holy Spirit. This is first time I've felt the Holy Spirit in myself and in the crowd as I have sung."

Another new experience for McBrayer since becoming a member ofTRUTH is constant traveling. "As far as travelling, I've only been with them in the United States," he said. "I

enjoy the concert part, yes, but the travelling, is hard."

Along with traveling, McBrayer also had to adjust to living with a new "family."

"I took the place of someone they loved. A couple of times I felt like getting on a plane and coming home, but God put me here for a purpose," he said. "Now I understand, and I can't imagine the group without any one of them. Every day someone kicks me down a peg or two. Coming from Liberty I thought I was hot stuff, now I'm only one in eight."

McBrayer said that his future plans do not include a solo career; however, he is open to the Lord's leading.

"I have no desire to go solo. God has not called me to that. I am not strong enough," he said. "When you sing solo you have less things to dis­courage you, and you begin to give yourself the credit. I've realized that I must put God first or I won't have a ministry."

When McBrayer was 17, he at­tended a TRUTH concert in Lakeland, Fla. "After the concert I went up to Roger Breland (founder of the group) and expected to audition that night to be a part of TRUTH," McBrayer said. "He looked at me and said that I was too young, that I needed to go to school. That's when he told me about Liberty."

During his three years here,

Richard Bohrer, professor of jour­nalism at LU, was named a final nominee in the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association's Gold Me­dallion Book Awards for his com­mentary on Romans, Right With God, which was published in Janu­ary.

Although his list of published works ranges from grammar and journal­ism textbooks to a series of mystery books for teens, Bohrer said editing biblical commentaries has been one of his most challenging experiences. His first commentary on the Gospel of John took IS years to edit and tran­scribe.

In addition to commentaries, Bohrer has written several textbooks. He said he is proudest ol a grammar text­book designed for fifth graders. Ac­cording to Bohrer, the text uses a unique approach to teaching English. Easy English, incorporates songs and stories to communicate basic gram­mar knowledge. Bohrer said that to his knowledge "the textbook is one of the first of its kind."

Bohrer has also written biogra­phies. Moody Press has published a series of biographies on the lives of

Contemporary Christian group TRUTH sings to a record volunteer audience in the Multi-Purpose Center. Liberty students give a warm welcome to former Liberty student and Sounds of Liberty singer Jody McBrayer. McBrayer studied business and com­munications and was a member ofthe Sounds ofLiberty singing team. He has 32 credit hours to complete to earn a bachelor's degree.

McBrayer compared singing with

"I'll always be thankful for the training I received at Liberty," he said. "I do miss die closeness of the student body, but not the classroom part. It's great and unusual to be

back. "It's great to see everyone, and I'll

always be a number one supporter and recruiter. I don't think there's a greater Christian school than Liberty University."

Students find help with studies By CHRIS HOLDEN Champion Reporter

"The Bruckner Learning Center is the ideal place to go when you don't know the answers, and we are com­mitted to helping all students find those answers," Barbara Sherman, director of the center, said.

Indeed, the Bruckner Learning Center's many programs are saturated by the principle that perse­verance and hard work, along with some help from the right staff, will allow students to discover the an­swers to the specific problems they are facing. The problems may range from Math 115 to any non-academic area of a student's life.

Even the wall decorations in Sherman's office reflect the can-do attitude. Behind her desk hang the words to the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness" and above that appears the quote, "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."

"All of our programs are designed for assisting students towards more academic success.

"Also, this learning center is a net­working aid for discovering the an­swers to many of the academic situ­ations students may find themselves in," Sherman said.

Each s = = = ^ = =

"We have a

"Our learning center is one of the top facilities of its kind in the coun­try," she said.

Her basis for this belief was a seminar she attended at the Kellogg Institute with 42 other representa­

tives of top learning centers. The representatives participated in an in-depth study of learning-center pro­grams.

As a result of the study, Sherman emerged confident that the Bruckner Learning Center offers students qual­ity services.

"I believe in the Bruckner Learn­ing Center and in the commitment of the staff here to go above and beyond what they are asked to do. I love what I do here, and I love the students I work with," Sherman said.

According to Sherman, the learn­ing center plans to move to a central location for better accessibility by students. The staff also plans to ob­tain computers for better testing and tutoring programs.

For more information about the learning center and the programs offered to students, offices are lo­cated in the Teacher Education Hall or students may call the center at ex­tension 2226.

SGA promotes volleyball fundraiser Pictured from front to back are Tim Hawxwell and Chip Chapman enjoying a SGA-sponsored Friday night of Inexpensive entertainment at AMF Lynch­burg Bowl during a midnight madness event. Students can take advantage of several activities such as Late Skate, Putt-Putt miniature golf and 10-pln bowling that take place each Friday evening.

Professor discusses published writings

various missionaries. Bohrer contributed to this series by

writing biographies of John Newton and Bill Borden. He said that writing Borden's biography became difficult because "he (Borden) didn't seem like a real person. In all my research, I couldn't find any recorded in­stances of his doing anything wrong." Each biography took him two monUis to complete.

Bohrer has not confined his work to educational matter. He also has writ­ten fiction. They Called Him Shifta was his first fiction novel. It is based on his experiences as a teacher in Ethiopia from 1947 to 1950.

In addition to They Called Him Shifta, Bohrer has written a fiction series, J. Edgar Beanpole. In this series, high-school student Beanpole solves many mysteries. Bohrer said the series serves the dual purpose of providing fun reading and communi­cating biblical truths.

Theseires is aimed at 12 to 15 year-olds. Bohrer said he enjoys writing this series because he bases the char­acters on people he knows. "I am Bean," he said. "I do what he does. I use experiences from my own life in the stories. My friends and I are in all of these books."

Generated funds to be used for Student Center By JOHN TURNER Champion Reporter

A 24-hour volleyball maraUion on Oct 4 and 5 will replace the tradi­tional walk-a-thon as the Student Government Association's annual fund-raising project.

The goal this year is to raise enough money to build two volley­ball sand pits, a basketball court and a patio and grill area behind David's Place. SGA also plans to make facili­ties available for club meetings and other student activities.

SGA members hope to create ex­citement with their new approach.

David Dawson, SGA president, noted that the fund-raiser last year did not motivate students to participate. The walk-a-thon was utilized four times during the last three years.

"It had been used three years in a row as a fund-raiser," Brian Buckley, vice president of activities, said.

A volleyball tournament was chosen to replace the walk-a-thon because of the success that last year's junior class had with its fundraiser.

"It seems to be the only thing that draws more than 500 people besides concerts," Buckley said.

The participation rules differ from last year's walk-a-thon fund-raiser.

To participate in the marathon, each

person must send out 10 mailers to prospective sponsors, as well as pay a $3 entrance fee. The fee will be utilized to offset expenses, includ­ing marathon T-shirts for each participant of the fundraiser.

The front of the five-colored T-shirt will sport a sphere with LU printed on the inside and "Volleyball Madness 1991" printed on the out­side.

"This year's T-shirt is even better than last year's," Dawson said.

"It is a quality T-shirt," Buckley echoed.

Another change this year is that SGA will not utilize an outside or­ganization to handle the paperwork and publicity. This will increase the profitability of the fund-raiser by

eliminating the middle man. Dawson and his cabinet members

have formed a commitee that will oversee the details of the volleyball fund-raiser.

The fund-raising committee will consist of about 30 people who will concentrate on organization and student participation.

The committee will also inform the students in advance of new de­velopments.

Announcements, skits and radio advertisements will be some of the means used.

Dawson said that he hopes the drive will raise enough money to complete the additions to David's Place. Bids are still being taken for the construction of the project.

Career Center offers job opportunities and occupational services to students By CYNDI STROUD Champion Reporter

The Liberty University Career Center has many resources and serv­ices to assist new students in choos­ing a major that suits their interests as well as to assist seniors in the search for employment opportunities.

One of the main services offered by the Career Center is the extern-ship program.

"It's a program which allows a student early on to get exposure to a job they might be interested in," Shelly Seibert, Career Center coor­dinator, explained.

An extemship lasts a week and enables the student to observe and participate in small projects. Seibert advised students to pinpoint an or­ganization and look in the telephone book or talk to friends and family in the town or city in which they wish

to work. After locating a company, they

should bring the name and address to the Career Center. The center will contact the company and arrange everything except lodging and trans­portation.

"This is why an extemship is best done in a town where friends or fam­ily reside," Seibert explained.

Another service offered to students is die Liberty Alumni Career Net­work. "This is not to help students find a job but to gel advice from someone who has already traveled that path," Seibert said. Several Lib­erty alumni have been contacted and are willing to provide helpful infor­mation to students.

The Career Center also critiques students' resumds. It will print a laser copy of theresum6for$10. An example of a student resume is

available in the Career Center. There are many resources offered

by the Career Center. For instance, there are books about most majors and information on expected sala­ries from a particular career field. There are also descriptions of the demand and responsibilities of cer­tain jobs.

The bulletin board located outside the door of the center offers various types of information. Oneexampleis special events, such as a career fair in a certain location or field.

Special opportunities are featured on the board as well. Foreign-service examinations and application deadlines are listed. Also posted on the bulletin board are opportunities at law camps, mock trials and special workshops.

In addition, there is also a category devoted to internships and fellow­

ships. Internships are temporary jobs that last longer than the extern-ship, while fellowships provide extra money for graduate students.

For information on internships, students should contact Lew Weider, director of the National Internship Office in RH 101.

In addition to the other services, the Career Center also provides in­formation about full-time, part-time and summer employment.

The summer jobs include summer camps and positions available with the federal government. The pos­sible full-time jobs are not only lo­cated in Lynchburg but other cities as well.

In order to take advantage of these services, students can locate the Ca­reer Center in DeMoss Hall across from the bookstore or contact exten­sion 2646.

School Board adds assistant principal By BEN LaFROMBOIS City Nows Editor

The Lynchburg School Board, in its first meeting since school began, modified the administrative/supervi­sory evaluation process. The board also added an assistant principal position at Sandusky Middle School.

The new administration evalu­ation process will be "more explica­tive with more detail," Dr. James McCormick, superintendent of the Lynchburg City Schools, said.

The evaluation will concentrate on six specific areas, which will relate directly to the job description. "The job description will be the same as the evaluation," McCormick commented.

Under the new system, one central office staff member will administer the principal's evaluation. Under the old system, the principal, peers, col­leagues and central office staff would offer evaluations that were not ade­quately specific, McCormick ex­plained.

With the new evaluation process there should be "input and openness — a mutual trust," McCormick ex­plained. "We want an instrument that is not encumbering, but will allow evaluation to move to the level to

which each individual is accountable," McCormick said.

The new evaluation process will hopefully improve the school sys­tem. "We will be able to spell out the specifics of why there was success or failure," McCormick remarked. "It will address overall performance, being low-key, yet as broad as pos­sible."

The evaluation of the first day of school indicated that enrollment was higher than expected. Over 9,400 stu­dents enrolled. This actual enroll­ment was 50 more than was esti­mated. According to last year's atten­dance, enrollment was under 9,300.

Due to theincreased number of stu­dents, the school board approved hiring a part-time principal for San­dusky Middle School.

With the increased enrollment, San­dusky has only 75 fewer students than Linkhorne Middle School, which has a full-time assistant principal.

"The position will not be a partial assignment, but possibly half-teacher and half-administrator," McCormick said.

In other business, the board ap­proved capital of $130,980 for re­pairs at six schools.

Voting officials detail student qualifications By BEN LaFROMBOIS City News Editor

Students who live off campus may vote locally in Virginia if they meet certain requirements. Dorm students are not allowed to vote under any circumstance, according to city and state officials.

"We cannot register students from a dorm. They must obtain an absentee ballot from their home," Anita Sales, assistant registrar for Lynch­burg, said.

The eligibility of town students to vote is not as easily defined. "Intent" is the guideline by which the state determines if a person is eligible to vote in Virginia, Michael Brown, secretary of the state Board of Elec­tions, explained.

Intent is a person's desire and demonstrated attempt to make Vir­ginia his place of residence. Intent is demonstrated by having a Virginia driver's license, being financially independent from parents, working and paying taxes locally, Brown ex­plained. It also includes married couples residing in the state.

According to the "Voting in Vir­ginia" pamphlet published by the state Board of Elections, any U.S.

citizen who lives in Virginia, who will be at least 18 years old by the next general election, who is not a con­victed felon or is not adjudicated mentally incompetent is eligible to register to vote in Virginia.

'There is no residency requirement, but you must live in a home or apart­ment," Sales explained.

Since Virginia does not have a resi­dency requirement, many other fac­tors determine voter eligibility be­yond "having a physical place one resides in," Brown commented. "One cannot register with a PO box," he added.

If a student is already a Virginia resident, he must simply transfer reg­istration from his home to Lynch­burg.

Any student eligible to register may do so at the Hills store on Wards Road on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Also, Kroger on Timberlake Road will have a registration on Wednes­day from 4 to 6 p.m.

The first general election on Nov. 5 will be for the state Senate, the House of Delegates and the Soil and Water Commission.

Senate gives bill guidelines

Student senate opens session for 1991-92 By CHARLES MALLORY Champion Reporter

Beth Sweeney, student government vice president, led an informal senate meeting Thursday to familiarize new and returning students with the pro­cedures and events of SGA.

This year's senate will concentrate on the concerns of town students. "We are planning to have a separate town-student committee in the senate which will focus specifically on town-student needs," Sweeney said.

The meeting was conducted as an open forum for students to ask and answer questions concerning student government procedures. Topics in­cluded how students can draft and write bills, who may submit bills and the chain of command used to pass the bill.

"Individuals, groups or commit­tees can write a bill. The bill is then presented to the senate for explana­tion and questioning. It is then de­bated and passed if the majority of the senate votes in its favor," Sweeney explained.

She added that the bill is then sent through proper channels to the stu­dent body president for his signature to put it into effect.

Sweeney also suggested a few changes to make senate bills more effective.

"One thing we learned from last year is that the bills concerning major policies such as dress code and music code require approval from the board of trustees," she said.

"The trustees meet only twice a year, which makes it hard to submit changes to those particular policies," Sweeney said. She stressed that any bills pertaining to the major policies should be submitted within the next few weeks in order to reach the trus­tees in time.

Another change she suggested was in the attitude reflected in bills. "One thing this semester I feel we need to work on is to write the bills more positively.

"Bills that were written in a nega­tive fashion were shot down quickly.

CRs welcome government officials

Beth Sweeney This style of writing will be a key factor in future meetings," Sweeney said.

According to Sweeney, a few committees this semester will be involved with "basic research" in order to determine the way each bill submitted can best affect the student body.

She also plans to have environ­mental committees for recycling, a Marriott committee for overall food-service quality and a university-life committee for researching activities and services to improve student life.

By CYNDI STROUD Champion Reporter

The College Republicans (CRs) kicked off the 1991-92 school year Sept. 3 with political guest speakers Charles Hawkins and Steve New­man, candidates for the Virginia Senate and for theVirginia House of Delegates, respectively.

Newman, a graduate of Lynchburg Christian Academy, is a Republican working for the Lynchburg City Coun­cil. He began his career by winning the 1988 election and wants to in­volve young adults in politics.

"Our greatest problem with young people today is not their views, which tend to be more conservative, but apathy," Newman said.

"A trend of not voting must come to an end. Getting involved in a political campaign will show you big changes. It pays to get involved."

Newman emphasized, "The most important aspect of running for an of­fice is your message and how you work to get that message out."

Hawkins, who has been in the House ofDelegates for 10 years also stressed participation: "You are what we need, and you are essential. Your future is here. Stay involved. Find out what

people believe in and push hard for what you believe. Politics is the most exciting game anyone can get in­volved in. Our future, your children's future, the state's future and the nation's future depends on you. One or two votes do make a difference. Voting reflects what you believe."

During the next three months, Hawkins and Newman will be work­ing to raise $40,000 through various means for their campaigns.

During their challenges, the two Republicans also stressed their sup­port for a two-party system. "We need a strong two-party system," Hawkins said. "With two the parties

challenge each other and let people know what is going on."

In closing, Newman explained, "Liberty has the potential of a great club, but apathy must be overcome."

The CRs have planned events to give students a chance to get in­volved. They will host a Steve Newman Day and College Republi­cans of Virginia state board meeting on Sept. 14.

Steve Newman workdays are also scheduled for Sept 21 and 28. For more information about upcoming events and workdays, contactTammy Miller, CR vice president, at exten­sion 3528.

Circle K Club president encourages involvement Circle K president expands previous community programs for added involvement By DANIELLE PETERS Champion Reporter

"We are the most up-and-coming club at Liberty University," Paul Griffeth, president of Circle K, said. Circle K is the Liberty branch of the international Kiwanis, a club which emphasizes service throughout the community.

The Red Cross-sponsored blood drive is oneof Circle K's most impor­tant projects. "Give blood or we'll come and get it," Griffeth said jok­ingly. The blood drive will be held Sept. 18 and 19 on campus. All blood donations will be taken by experi­enced Red Cross technicians and will pose no threat to the donor.

Circle K has several other commu­nity projects planned, including help­ing at the Miller Home for Girls and some collaboration with Randolph-Macon Woman'sCollege, Lynchburg College and Hampton City

Club activities and fund-raisers include an adopt-a-highway program and a trip to King's Dominion, as well as a car race and some late-night

"Cardiac Arrest" is one specific fund-raiser for heart disease that Circle K would like to sponsor this year. A prominent figure from campus will be placed in a "jail," and the jailer

will be paid to let him out or keep him in. This will probably be held at a home football game this fall.

Griffeth said that he feels Circle K has a positive affect on other Kiwa­nis clubs and the community because of the club's overall Christian atti­tude. "Circle K is a good way to put

a Christian impact in a non-Christian environment," he said.

Any Liberty students who are in­terested in community involvement the Circle K Club should contact Griffeth, another club member or club officer or the adviser Dr. Den­nis Fields.

Pickering _ r <

Continued from Page 1 Pickering said class registration is the busiest time for advisement. Ac­cording to Pickering, many students wait until the last minute, which hin­ders the chances of getting the re­quired courses during the required time limit.

Pickering feels that his 17 years of experience at LU help a great deal in

knowing what is expected from the students by the faculy and the ad­ministration. He also believes his ac­complishments are an outgrowth of his attitude. He said that he does not perceive advising as just another part of teaching. "It's really an attitude, a servant's attitude. I feel like I'm a servant to the students.

'There are a number of faculty

who feel that this is just a job. Now that's true of any university, not just Liberty. Students will come in con­tact with those people, and what the student needs to do is to seek out some other faculty member in their department who will be able to give them the time to know what courses should be taken."

Pickering continued, "So, when

they go to their assigned adviser and the assigned adviser doesn't have the lime and just signs the form, then the students are assured they are doing the right thing (by going to another adviser). I would also recommend to die students dial if this second person is helping more than the first, men they go through die procedure of changing their adviser."

Football team loses opener 35-14 Notre Dame and NBC: A perfect combination?

Notre Dame's recent television contract in which the Irish will receive $38 million-plus during the next five years for home football game coverage is a disgrace to the school and should have been banned long before it happened.

The College Football Associa­tion had a deal worked out with all the schools and television networks. Although it was not a law, it was expected that all schools would go along with the deal. Notre Dame would have received about $20 million from the original CFA contract.

After the new NBC-Notre Dame deal was finalized, the CFA deals were renegotiated. The new CFA deals were reduced by about $50 million, so other schools took a combined $30-million loss.

Many schools are upset at Notre Dame for this apparent act of greed. To put it plainly and simply, Notre Dame is monopolizing the college football television airwaves for at least the next five years. Every home game will be on NBC televi­sion with Notre Dame and its oppo­nent each receiving $600,000.

I disagree with the contract be­cause Notre Dame will be on TV for the next five years good or bad. They could have the worst team in the nation soon, and still the entire country will have the pleasure of seeing them. It's similar to a team signing a franchise player to a multi-year, multimillion dollar contract. It might be OK for the first year or two; but if the player gets injured and still has years left on his con­tract, the team is obligated to pay his salary to the end.

I feel that the least they could have done is make a one-year con­tract so that if another team is more popular (which I already feel is the case) the next year, then a deal could be made with other teams. Doing it this way would create an incredible amount of competition to receive the NBC contract each season.

Second, this gives Notre Dame an unfair recruiting edge that other teams will not have. Every star high school football player in America will want to play on na­tional television at least 30 times in the next five years. Being on televi­sion is good advertising for a young player with loads of talent hoping to make the National Football League.

I feel that when people go to college it should be for an educa­tion; and if they play sports as well, then that's great The television networks should not get this in­volved in college athletics. There are enough problems with greed in professional athletics. Students should not have to decide between going to the school with national television coverage or one without national television coverage.

Notre Dame claims that the money will be used to help the poorer students in the school. They feel they have done nothing to get other colleges mad at them. This sounds like good reasoning, but it doesnotjustify forcing other schools to take a $30-million loss. Plain and simple, this is greed.

To show their displeasure with Notre Dame, other schools have begun canceling future games with the team. They don' t feel that Notre Dame displayed any ethics in this decision. For being a religiously affiliated school, many people expected more of Notre Dame.

Notre Dame is not entirely to blame in this case. Although many schools are griping about the deal, they would have done the same thing if they saw the dollar signs flashing before them. NBC televi­sion is partly to blame for coming up with the idea for this contract.

All top-ranked teams should get equal national exposure. As many Notre Dame fans as there are in this world, believe it or not there are fans of other teams. A television network should not be able to pick and choose which college becomes rich and leave the others in the dust.

The Liberty University Flames football team lost 35-14 to Boise State University in the season opener at Boise, Idaho, before a crowd of more than 20,000.

The Flames had expected the game to indicate how good they could be this year. A win against Boise would have worked wonders for the Flames rankings and playoffs hopes, but a loss is not the end of the world, Flames coach Sam Rutigliano said.

"If you want to be the best, you have to play the best," he explained.

This is the first season since Ru­tigliano became head coach of the Flames that they have lost the open­ing game. Although the season be­gins with a loss, Rutigliano thinks the team could go further this year than ever before.

Boise State defeated the Flames with a balance of a good running game, which gained 168 yards, and a good passing game, which gained 262 yards.

Flames quarterback Robbie Justino threw for 310 yards but did not help himself by throwing four intercep­tions. The Flames also did not have much of a running game with 21 rushes for 49 yards.

Boise State, which made it to the final four of the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs last year, was riddled by the Flames wide receivers. Pat Nel­son led the Flames receivers with

seven catches for 105 yards. L.G. Parrish had five catches for 49 yards, and James McKnight had four catches for 55 yards.

The Flames new punter, Sheldon Bream, punted an average of 32.2 yards and a long of 42 yards in his new fall sport.

The high point of the game for Liberty was in the beginning of the second quarter when they tied the game at seven apiece. Justino scrambled 18 yards for his first touch­down of the season. Flames kicker Jason Harrell kicked the extra point to tie the game.

Boise then broke the game open with three touchdowns in the next three possessions, sandwiched be­tween two Liberty punts. The first Boise touchdown in the second quar­ter was a 55-yard pass from quarter­back Jeff Mladenich. Mike Black kicked the extra point to give Boise State a 14-7 lead that they would never relinquish.

Liberty then punted on its next possession. Boise prompdy drove downfield and scored on a 5-yard run by Sean Sanders. Black kicked the extra point, and the Flames were now behind 21-7.

After another unsuccessful LU possession, Bream punted the ball back to the Boise offense. Boise again drove downfield and capped off this drive with a 7-yard pass by Mladenich to Larry Stayner. Black's kick was good, making the score

The LU football team practices before a recent loss at Boise State University, 35-14.

28-7 to end the first half. In the third quarter Liberty tight­

ened its defense and did not allow a score. The offense put together a 98-yard scoring drive, capped off by Dwayne Carswell's 2-yard run. The third quarter ended with the Flames behind 28-14.

The fourth quarter started with the Flames needing two touchdowns to tie. Boise State's defense clamped down and did not allow the Flames to do anything, as they intercepted them three times at crucial moments. Liberty's defense allowed a touch­down on a 2-yard run by Mladenich

to seal the game for Boise, 35-14. Boise State had scored first near the

end of the first quarter when Boise State's Frank Robinson intercepted Justino and returned the ball 45 yards for the touchdown. After the extra point was kicked, the first quarter ended with Boise up 7-0.

Men's soccer loses to VCU 3-0 in opener

Liberty's Brent Ward dribbles downfield during LU's 3-0 loss to VCU.

By BRIAN SPERLING Champion Reporter

The Liberty University men's soccer team began its season on Saturday with a disappoint­ing 3-0 loss to Virginia Commonwealth Uni­versity before a crowd of 319 on the sunny Lib­erty Soccer Complex.

For the most part, the first half was very evenly matched as both squads used smother­ing defenses to prevent any good scoring chances. VCU got on the board first as Anthony Sherwood blasted an unassisted goal past Jim Pereira from 22 yards out with 12:22 left in the half. That proved to be all the scoring in the first half as the score held until intermission.

Liberty started out strong in the second half. Under the leadership of Brent Ward and Free­man Turkson, the Flames controlled the tempo on offense and defense with aggressive play. The good scoring chances finally came, but Ram goalie Peter McNally was there to put an end to any threat.

The VCU team got its share of chances to expand the lead as the ball got past Pereira but hit the post on a couple of occasions. One blast that looked like a sure goal just barely hit the crossbar. The Flames survived another scare as the ball was stopped on one shot, but got by Pereira and came to a stop at the goal crease. The ball was finally kicked out after a frantic struggle by a crowd of players from both teams.

These great scoring chances sent the wave of momentum the Rams' direction by the mid­point of the second half. VCU used a strong assault on offense to score with 6:19 left Wayne Pratt took a pass from Bart Polster and sent a kick past Pereira from 12 yards out.

VCU quickly sealed the game less than three minutes later as Leroi Wilson took a pass from Neil Mason and scored from 15 yards out with 3:56 remaining. 'Those two second-half goals were bad," LU coach William Bell said. "We allowed them to get those goals unearned."

Bell was disappointed by the outcome. "I felt it would've been closer. You can't buy

experience; it comes with the games. It is just the first game and now we know where we are going to improve," he said.

The Flames do have much to improve on. They were outshot for the game, 22-9. How­ever, Virginia Commonwealth also had six new starters to work with. "We still have forwards capable of finding good chances and scoring," Ram coach Lincoln Phillips explained.

Both coaches showed their displeasure over new NCAA cutbacks on practice hours per week. "We went into this first game with vir­tually no practice," Phillips said. "It is not a good rule. It keeps you guessing about the abilities of your team. We didn't play our best today." Bell concurred that the lack of practice hurts the team. "We have to do the best we can. Every team is at a disadvantage."

Bell was pleased with the individual per­formances of some of his players, in particu­larly defenseman John Collins. "He worked hard out there and did a good job today. Some others still have to put it together," Bell said.

Once the Flames find that chemistry, the goals will start coming. Added to that is the fact that goalie Ebenezer Ado will be arriving Sept. 30 from the Republic of Ghana. That is good news for the Liberty team as its conference schedule will go into full gear in October.

Bell looked at Saturday's loss as a positive learning experience. "It is the beginning of a new season. We have a young team. I would have felt better if they won, but our inexperi­ence showed and it cost us."

Bell rs still looking ahead. 'These trials will help us to prepare for our conference games later. We have a long season ahead to im­prove," he said.

Tuesday, the Flames will travel to play the Richmond Spiders at 7 p.m. It will be a tough test as the Spiders are ranked 17th in the nation. On Sept. 13 and 14, the Flames will be at Bowling Green and Dayton before returning home on Sept. 18 to host Virginia Military In­stitute at 4 p.m.

Women's soccer expecting better season after 8-0 win By BRIAN SPERLING and IVETTE HASSAN Champion Reporters

The 1991 Liberty University women's soccer team began the season strongly with an 8-0 victory over Trinity College last Saturday. Third-year coach Jim Long is look­ing to improve his team's 3-9 rec­ord of a year ago in the program's fourth year.

The Lady Flames now have a year of experience under their belts with lOplayersretumingfrom last year's squad. They will also have 14 new players battling for positions.

Long has been working on estab­lishing depth on the squad during the off-season. "My goal for this season is to really work hard and put together the best season in the history of the soccer program,"

Long said. "I feel the girls will be ready to meet the challenges that we will be facing this year."

Amy Ingalis and Leanne Faulk are two players returning on the front line. Ingalis came off her second season tied for the team lead in goals with five and assists at two. Her counterpart Faulk had five goals as well and tied for second in assists. Another strong return is expected from Barbara Ball, who played in nine games as a freshman last year, the coach said.

With three starters reluming, the midfield appears to be the strongest area on the team. Debbie Camlin, Kristen Hallmark and Kelly Endlich have each improved and are ex­pected to be pivotal to the success of the Flames, the coach said. Holly Lightbody, last year's goalie, will be moving to midfield this season. She

is expected to battle for a starting position. Darlene Saczawa and Travis Baker also are looking to see some time on the field for the Lady Flames at the midfield position.

With only one starter returning, the defense will have to work hard to rebuild and gain experience. Tract Camlin started all 13 games last year and is expected to lead the young defense. Becky Durham, Melinda Locke, Heidi Schantz and Kristin Sewell will all be competing to play alongside Camlin. Heather Greene will be in the goal box for the first time this year.

The win over Trinity showed that the Lady Barnes have the potential to explode on offense along with a defense that won't give up much ground. Greene was strong in goal and has the ability to shut the door on any offensive threat. Long has a

Coach Jim Long

fine young team that can make some noise among Big South followers this season. "I am excited about the up­coming season," Long said. "With the mix of veterans and new girls

coming in, we will work our hard­est to make this our most success­ful campaign yet."

The Lady Flames will be play­ing their home opener Saturday against Virginia Wesleyan Col­lege at North campus at 2 p.m.

Long brought his knowledge of the game to Liberty in 1989. He has led the Lady Flames during the last two seasons to a 7-21-1 record.

Long is an established coach who has coached on the high-school level and was also an ath­letic director.

After leaving that post, he ar­rived in Lynchburg to become the junior varsity coach at Lynchburg Christian Academy. He spent four years at LCA before moving to his current position as the LU women's soccer coach.

Volleyball begins season slow with road losses By PAMELA WALCK Champion Reporter

The Lady Flames volleyball team, returning from its first week of tour­naments against strong opponents, has learned the importance of expe­rience.

The Lady Flames, with a record of 0-8, are showing clear signs of im­provement after games against Radford University, American Uni­versity and North Carolina State, head coach Beth Dalton said.

"We played with more consistency this week, " Dalton said. "We are becoming less passive and no longer allowing the other team to dictate what happens on the court."

The Lady Flames started slow in the firstgameof fiveagainst Radford University Tuesday. After losing that game 15-6, the Lady Flames pulled togetherand struggled to win, only to fall short by two, 18-16, in the final game.

"In our game against Radford, we just got stuck in a rut and could not work ourselves out of it in time to win the game," Dalton explained.

During the American University games, the Lady Flames once against

started slow, 15-8, but gained mo­mentum as they took control during the second (15-12) and fifth (15-12) games. Unfortunately, during the third game they fell apart and lost the game 15-2, which made their record 0-6.

"Our goal is to play error-free ball. Being mentally prepared is the key," Dalton said. "We need to make fewer mental errors. Our goal is to keep building and improving on the men­tal aspects of our game."

In the N.C. State tournament at George Washington, the Lady Flames played against both N.C. State and George Washington University. The Lady Flames started out slow in the N.C. State games, losing the first two games 15-2. They rallied in the third game and pulled a 15-5 victory over N.C. State, but it was too late to win the tournament.

"One area we want to improve on is jumping out earlier in the game in order to gain an advantage. We want to incorporate intimidation factors into our game," Dalton said.

The Lady Flames did jump out early in the first game against George Washington, but lost the game

17-15. After that things went down­hill as they lost the remaining two games 15-8 and 15-10. The Lady Flames ended the tournament with a 0-8 record.

"The main thing that the team is working on is gaining experience," Dalton said. "You need to keep in mind that this is a young team. Many of the girls are in new positions on the court as well as in leadership roles, plus we have many new, inexperi­enced players too."

IBERTY

A b o u t L i b e r t y : Liberty is coming off a season opening loss against Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. The Flames passing attack was working well and the receivers had the best game for the Flames. Watch for the aerial assault from quarterback Robbie Justino to wide recievers Pat Nelson, seven catches for 105 yards; L.G Parrish, 5 catches for 49 yards; and James McKnight, 4 catches for 55 yards. The Flames need to take care of the ball better, as evidenced by their throwing four interceptions to BSU.

The Flames need to improve the rushing game to complement the passing game.

Defensively the Flames need to cut down on the opponent's running game and passing game. Boise State gained 430 all-purpose yards against Liberty's defense.

Key to the game for the offense will be the Flames' passing attack scoring quick and often. The defensive key of the game will be to stop the Paladins run, as they ran for five touchdowns in their first game against the University of Connecticut.

A b o u t F u r m a n : Furman is coming off a 35-24 win at the University of Connecticut. Furman has a high-powered offense led by the running game. In last week's win, running back Carl Tremble, who is an All-Southern Conference back, ran for 124 yards on 16 carries. Also running back Heath Brownstead ran for 94 yards on 17 carries. Quarterback Hugh Swilling gained 140 yards on the ground with 18 carries. Swilling passed for 82 yards completing seven of 10 passes.

Furman does not go to the air very often, but when they do look for wide receiver John Whitmire, who caught three passes for 47 yards.

A possible weak spot will be the kicker who missed his only field goal attempt.

The key to Furman winning the game will be to continue their massive running attack. For the defense, they will need to find a way to stop the Flames trio of wide receivers and have a massive pass rush on Justino.

There is a small registration fee required. Anyone that would like to compete should call the Kaleidoscope Headquarters at 847-1811.

There will also be tennis tournaments beginning on Saturday, Sept. 14. and continuing throughout the rest of the festival.
