Campus coping/ Largest freshman class in 20 years

Lawrence reverses a national trend

By Ann Spellman Lawrentian Staff

As adm issions officers across the country- braced them selves for a drop In freshman enrollment for the fall term, Lawrence University countered the trend. Some 354 freshmen are expected on campus this September. 65 more then last year.

High school seniors nationwide sent out a record number of college applications this year to many 4-year colleges and universities. Steven T. Syverson. dean of adm issions and financial aid at Lawrence, said "This ls a record-breaking year in the number of applications. The 1252 freshman applications received are geater in any year since 1968."

High schools reported that this year many students submitted more m ultiple applications, which would account for the increase In numbers experienced by a large number of institutions. Since so many students applied to several schools, the actual number of acceptances of adm ission offers was expected to be considerably lower in proportion At Lawrence, this is not the case.

The increase in applications does not correlate with the declining number of 18-year-olds in the United States. Between 1979 and 1992 there will be a 30% decrease in the number of 18-year-olds, according to High School Graduates: Projections for the 50 States by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. 1979.

New freshm an studies courseF resh m an S em in ar elim inatedBy Steve Siegel Lawrentian Staff

L aw ren ces oldest surviving course, the 42-year old Freshman S tu d ies program , is again undergoing a major revision w hich director and h istory professor Frank Doeringer calls a "return to the trad itions established a generation or two ago In the original Freshm an Studies program."The new changes, which will be

implemented this fall, call for the elimination of the Freshman

Sem inar and a return to a two-term Freshman Studies, and a return to its original form -- Freshm an Sem inars did not arrive on the scene until 1969.“It's a reinvigoration of the

With 64 more freshmen arriving on ca m p u s th is fall th an orig inally expected by the adm issions office, the cam pus life o ffice scra m b led to accom odate all of the 1 .145 Lawrence students.“We were a bit nervous about

a c c o m m o d a t i n g alarger-than-expected freshm an class, but we never panicked." said associate dean of students of residential life Chris Frantz. R um ors o f tr a d it io n a lly

entirely false. During the spring term. 1987, the residence halls had an 86.9% occupancy rate. C a m p u s -w id e ( in c lu d in g fr a te r n ity h o u s in g ) , th e occupancy rate w as a roomy 87.5%,“Ninety-five percent occupancy

is the most desirable according to current housing manuals -- that m eans that at 95% wc are achieving maxim um flexibility and utility of our facilities. As it is. we have room for more." Frantz explained.The new class is a near 50-50

split, with 181 males and 173 females. Some changes in the residence halls have been made to accomodate the 354 freshmen. The door lounges in Plant/ and

Trever Halls have been converted to student rooms. In addition, the guest room in Trever is now hosting two male freshmen and one study lounge in Colman is now a student room.The number of double-singles.

in which one person is living in a room designed for two, has decreased th is term. LUCC legislation states if study lounges are converted to student rooms, there m ust be no double-single rooms. This regulation ls spelled out in the student handbook The cam pus life office also urged fraternities to take in the 23 residents they are required to house."We re not concerned about a

further shift in housing second term b eca u se m ost of the returning students are housed." Frantz said.The cam pus life office, said

Frantz, is "very excited to meet the new students and we look forward to a great year."

Worcester demolished$5 million art center underwayBy Ann Spellman Lawrentian Staff

Plagued by a faulty heating system , lacking suitable gallery space, and sufficient security, the Worcester Art Center was finally demolished in early July after m onths of planning a new. $5 million two-level facility.

The new art center, which will retain the names of Charles and Mary W orcester , w ill be

com p leted in early 1989. according to LaVerne Behm, the construction supervisor on the site.

“We hope to get the basic basem ent in before Christmas and a temporary enclosure so we can do the masonry work." Behm explained.

"The design ls in good progress and everybody ls working well together." he added.

Mel Hands, the director of

physical plant said "although wc en cou n tered more exten sive u tility relocation than we expected, there were no problems during the summer."

P e d e s tr ia n tra ffic w ill continue to be routed either along the Seeley G. Mudd library or along the back of the Memorial Union. The Union’s front door remains open, but can no longer be reached from the sidewalk to the west.

In 1986. the art cen ter committee stated their goal was to establish one center which could bring together all the facilities for studio art and art history as well as a gallery for the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions.

Lambda Sigma seeks visibility

New religion professorLambda Sigm a, a national

honor society for sophom ore men and women, often does not strike a familiar bell in the ears of freshm en when they receive letters Inviting them to apply for membership.

The honor society’s current members, however, arc striving to make themselves more visible so that, in turn, freshmen can b eg in w o r k in g to w a r d s m em bership as early as fall term.

“I did not hear or know anything of Lambda Sigma until I got a letter in March inviting me to apply," said Amy Vorpahl, the new p resid en t of the organization.

Barb Lom, an alumni advisor or Lambda Sigma, attributes the lack of publicity to the group's focu s toward the Appleton community.

“Lambda Sigma's orientation is not as focused on Lawrence as it is on the Appleton community and people are not aware of all of our service projects," she said.

Lom exp la in s her role as helping to “create a frame of reference lor projects the current members are pursuing since there is a 100% turnover in membership."

'Ihe acknowledged purpose of Lambda Sigm a is to foster leadersh ip , and sch olarsh ip , fellow ship, and the spirit of service in a college environment.

P o ten tia l c a n d id a te s for membership are those freshmen who have placed in the top 35% of their c la ss at the time of selction in spring and who have

shown evidence of leadership.Faculty recommend freshmen

who have an cum ulative grade point average of at least 3 .0 Those stu d en ts who agree to apply then seek references from faculty members. Only 25 new m em bers are se lected each spring.

“The limit on membership is due to n a tio n a l c h a p ter regulations. A sm aller group allow s for everyone to share responsibility, " Lom explained.

“This fall Lambda Sigma is se r v in g r e fr e sh m e n ts a s freshmen settle in their halls on Friday. We will also be ushering at the first convocation and

The purpose of Lambda Sigma is to foster leadership, scholarship, and fellowship.

distributing ‘survival paks’ at D ow ner next week," sa id Vorpahl.

Later in the year. Lambda Sigma will be manning booths at Octoberfest and Celebrate! as well as coordinating an off-cam pus tutoring network.

“T his year we are really encouraging freshm en to take part in our activities and ask questions about our organization so they will know about us," Vorpahl said.

“I am really im pressed with th is group," Lom said. “They managed to accomplish a lot at the end of last year and have amibitious plans for this year."

When Lawrence's new assistant professor of religion found out she had been hired, she was, in her own words, ecstatic.She is Karen Carr, and she is

replacing E. Graham Waring, who retired this spring after 35 years here.

Carr, who says she will offer a somewhat different approach to the study of religion than did Waring, is not yet technically a professor, because she is still working on her dissertation.

“Some of the same areas will be covered." says Carr, adding there will be new and different things as well.

Introduction to Religion and a d iscussion of theology, politics and culture in the 20th ccntury will be two courses Carr will be teaching. The course on theology and politics will focus largely on J ew ish r e sp o n se s to the Holocaust, liberation theology in Latin America, and the faminlst movement, an area which Carr believes needs improvement at Lawrence.

In the future. Carr expects to branch out more and offer a course of philosophical analysis of religion, which will seek to

For the last three years, she has been teaching part time at Stanford, where she attended graduate school, and working on her d isse r ta tio n , w hich h as a particularly large mouthful for a title: “The Birth.

Lawrence reverses Relicensing, remodelinga national trend Renewing the spiritContinued from page 1

Other factors contributed to the faculty prediction of a declining fre sh m a n e n r o llm e n t for L aw ren ce. For in s ta n c e . “Projections of three years ago suggested we were looking for a 40% decrease in the number of potential applicants who meet our general academ ic criteria, have an interest in liberal arts, and are considering independent education. In addition, a number of fam ilies are less willing to consider independent sch ools because of their fears about financing." Syverson explained.

In response to those financial fears. Jacquelyn King, director of Financial Aid at Lawrence, said. "Lawrence m eets 100% of every student s financial need with a com bination of grant dollars, and loan and work programs. The grant is always the largest portion of the financial aid package, and we p lace a maximum on the loan we expect any student to accept in a given year. This is not a new. trendy program but a co n tin u ed longtime commitment."

“The student s ability to pay for a Lawrence education is not a consideration in the adm issions decision." Syverson said.

N a tio n a lly . lib e ra l a r ts c o lle g e s are e x p e r ie n c in g in c r e a s e s n o t o n ly in a p p lic a t io n s but a lso in enrollment. “Virtually all of the A ssociated C olleges of the Midwest (Beloit, Carleton, Coe. Colorado. C ornell. G rinnell. Knox. Lake Forest. Lawrence. Macalester. M onmouth. Ripon. and St. Olaf) and the Great Uikcs College A ssocia tion (Albion. A ntioch . D ePauw . D en ison . Earlham . Hope. Kalam azoo. Kenyon. Oberlin. Ohio-Wesleyan. Wabash, and Wooster) have more applications this year than last year." Syverson said. “According to the latest report, most of them r e c e iv e d 10 -2 0 % m ore applications than last year."

L a w ren ce’s in c r e a s e is substantially larger than that of the other colleges, so it would seem there are two trends going on. “One. we are part of a national trend and two. our four years of a redirected marketing effort is paying off." Syverson said. In 1983 the adm issions staff began revamping its entire program by crea tin g new literature, developing a new computer system, and attempting to m ainta in a personalized correspondence with prospective students.

“We believe the increase in applications and. subsequently, enrollm ent is due to our increased popularity. We have done quite a bit of market research in recent years and have adjusted the way we present Lawrence. New literature was c r e a te d e m p h a s iz in g the fa c u lty -s tu d e n t in tera c tio n , which is one of Lawrence s greatest strengths." Syverson said.

Lawrence's freshman class is not on ly larger th an the adm issions office had projected, but is also more serious about its academics.

The incom ing c la s s high

school grade point average rose from 3.18 last year to 3.30. Five percent of these freshmen were valedictorians; 81% of the class ranked in the top quarter of their high school class; and 98.4% ranked in the top half. Twenty of the freshm en were National Merit Finalists. In addition, the average SAT score rose 18 points from last year.

“T his y e a r s c la ss is the strongest since the early 1970s. But we are careful not to consider just board scores alone because at tunes bright, motivated students do not test well. Lawrence strives to m aintain a wide range of students; we have a student body that is exp erien tia lly more diverse than most schools." Syverson explained.

Recent artic les In national newspapers and magazines have had an impact on the popularity of Lawrence and similar schools. “The media has created a shift in desirab ility . Current s tu d ies dem onstrate that a liberal arts education is being sought by more and more employers." said Anne Norman, assistan t to the p resid en t and d irector of in s t i tu t io n a l r e se a r c h at Lawrence.

Increased media coverage and the desirability of a liberal arts education have produced a more sophisticated consum er market which Is “looking for where they will go to obtain the best education. People are focusing on what m akes you an educated person . For an in creasin g number of students, technical programs do not tend to be the answer. Uiwrence is exactly the kind of environment people are seeking." Syverson commented.

One other factor that might account for the unexpected increase in applications are the policy c h a n g e s w ith in the W iscon sin S ta te U niversity System.

Bob McCarthy, director of the W isco n s in A sso c ia t io n of In d ep en d en t C o lleg es and Universities, said the IJW system

‘established a policy last year that set rigid application dates for the fall semester. The reason for the policy is to cut enrollment and balance the budget.

“People are less satisfied in general w ith large, public in s t itu t io n s b e c a u se it is increasingly harder for a student to graduate In four years since c la s s e s are o v er -en ro lled . Financially, that could mean the cost difference between public and p r iv a te s c h o o ls is decreasing, by the time you add 20% more time in college and subtract a year of foregone wages."

“All in all. this is an exciting tim e to be at Lawrence." Syverson sa id . “I th ink the increases we've experienced in adm issions this year are partly the result of what we've been doing in a d m iss io n s , but primarily it is an increased recognition by the public of the quality education offered by Lawrence, and I think we will continue to see Increases during each of the next several years."

Red Devils and sm iles are back at J im ’s Place. After a rocky three years as Big Daddy's, the more than 100 year old bar on College Avenue is under the new ownership of Patrick Seubert.Seubert frequented Jim's Place

when It w as owned by the original Jim. Jim and Carmen Mullins operated the bar from 1966-1983."Jim’s w as a neat place to

gather. There was always a good m ixture of dow ntow n and working people," Seubert saidJim's Place was bought out and

renamed Big Daddy's in 1983. Earlier this year it was closed after the owners and bartenders were cited several tim es by the city for allow ing underaged drinking.W hen Seubert applied for

ownership of the bar the city approved his request, but along with the approval cam e a long list of conditions."I knew what I wanted to do with

the place - make lt Just like lt was when I used to come for a drink back when Jim ran lt." Seubert explained.According to Rich Giordana.

m anager of J im ’s Place, the remodeling of the bar took "two months, two weeks, three days, and seventeen hours."“The bar deteriorated when it

ownership and licensing of Jim s Place, the city of Appleton stated som e new alcohol serving regulations that Jim s Place must follow precisely.

Two form s of identification with picture are required in order to enter. The back door which was a handy means for minors to enter and avoid carding is now a fire emergency door.

“Big Daddy's w as plagued by frequent police citations because the bouncers would accept a fake legal identification card. When the police made spot checks, however, the minors presented their legitimate (but underaged) identification, therefore casting blam e e x c lu s iv e ly on the bartenders for serving minors." Giordana said.A fake form of identification

can cost the offender up to $200.“I did not open Jim's Place with

the intention of closing it down by breaking the drinking laws We m ust obey the city's laws or m any peop ie will feel the consequences," Seubert said.

Seubert and Giordana boLh believe J im ’s b u siness will not sutler due to the new drinking laws.

Carmen Mullins, Jim 's wife, said, “If my husband were alive today he would be very’ proud that Patrick is running the place like he used to and recapturing the old feeling."

Sports___________________________________ __Injuries plaguing teamVikings start season at a loss, 21-0

interception at their own 27-yardBy Steve Siegel Lawrentian Staff

When the Lawrence Vikings took the field last Saturday afternoon, most of the 1,128 fans who followed last year’s team remembered two events: a 40-7 tromping by St. Francis in the opener, and an ability to rescue gam es seemingly headed for the loss column.The first three quarters of this

r e m a tc h ev o k ed s im ila r I houghts.The Vikings started the game

strong, receiving the opening kickoff and marching straight down the field, deep into St. Francis territory. Unfortunately, Quarterback Bill M cN am aras second down p ass from the fifteen yard line was intercepted inside the ten.Then it was St. Francis’ turn.

They deliberately moved into Viking territory when Lawrence stopped an end-around play shy of the first-down marker. The Saints elected to go for the first down on fourth and one. and sophomore John Larsen made it pay olT, eluding several I^awrence tacklers and running 39 yards for a touchdown and the game's first points.Lawrence again was able to

move the ball on their next possession, but the St. Francis d e fe n se record ed a n o th er

line.The Vikings’ offense continued

to make hay against the Saints’ defense. As the second quarter opened. McNamara ran and dove ten yards for a first down on a third and nine situation, setting

the ball on the St. Francis 25 yard line.But again the Saints' defense

stiffened, and the Vikings settled for a 42-yard field goal attempt which never had a chance after the snap from center was off

target.St. Francis then extended its

lead w ith the help of a w ell-executed halfback option. Lenny Larsen took the hand-off from quarterback Bobby Brown, and, after faking a sw eep, unloaded a bomb to brother Mike

Larsen on the Lawrence 2 1 -yard line. They scored with 54 seconds to go in the half for a 14-0 lead.

A last-d itch effort by the Vikings to get on the scoreboard in the first half ended at the two a fter a n o th e r M cN am ara

interception.St. F rancis’ third and final

touchdown cam e early in the third quarter, w hen Viking punter Bill Schreiner kicked the ball off the side of his foot, giving the S a in ts the ball deep in Lawrence territory. St. Francis quickly cashed in. and it was 21-0.

Despite the lopsided final score, the Vikings played St. Francis, a division II school, much tougher than they had the previous year in Joliet. Illinois, when they lost, 40-7.

Several tim es the Vikings were able to penetrate deep into the Saints' territory, only to see an interception or an inability to ex ec u te in th ird -a n d -sh o rt situations hamper their efforts. But for those few situations, the game might have been close.The Vikings suffered several

injuries in the game, to senior Defensive back Matt Bane, and ju n iox d efen siv e back Bill Briesm eister who is apparently lost for the season. These losses will affect the defense but the team still believes it has the requisite strength to defend their conference title.The Vikings play next week at

Concordia College in Milwaukee, and are hom e the following Saturday in what is expected to be a tough game against south division power Monmouth.

Fall Sports PreviewTennis: Q uestions cloud cham pions ' season

No one should blame Lawrence 1 University women’s tennis coach

Mary Poulson if she's become a I little nervous to ch eck her

m ailbox. P oulson received a couple of “letter bombs" this summer that severely wounded a potentially super Viking tennis team.

Last fall, the Vikings were nothing short of super. They were5-2-1 in dual meets, winning 38 consecutive individual m atches at one point, fin ish in g a sch o o l-b est seco n d at the1 1 - 1 e a m U W -W h ltew a te r Invitational and breezed to their se c o n d s tr a ig h t M idw est C onlcrence cham pionship . It looked like Poulson would have to do little more than toss a fresh set ol balls on the court this fall. Then the mailman showed up.

First Poulson learned that No.4 singles player Caran Frater. who compiled a 26-6 record the past two years while winning b a c k - 1 o - b a c k M id w e s t Conference singles titles, would be staying at Lawrence's London Center and will m iss the fall season . The tremor from that blast had hardly subsided when Poulson found out No. 1 singles player Linda Tomtshak would be transferring to another school. T o m tsh a k . th e M idw est C onference's defending No, 1 cham pion and runner-up in1985. owned second place on LU’s all-time win list with a two-year mark of 39-12.

“It just doesn't pay to count your chickens." Poulson said.

Add in the fact the Vikings lost

No. 3 Midwest Conference singles cham pion Lisa Becket and her 13-3 record on a transfer under the co lleg e 's 3 -y e a r /2 -y e a r engineering program and the Vikes' b a ttle sh ip su d d en ly looked like a PT boat. Despite losing 43 of the Vikes' 83 singles wins of a year ago without

While the Vikings' arsenal has been partially dism antled, they still have several very dangerous weapons. Junior Patty Dooley, the MC's No. 3 singles champion two years ago. brings a 26-14

career record to the Vikes' lineup. Also back is sophom ore Krin Ringel, who won MC titles last year at No. 5 singles and No. 2 doubles; junior co-captain Kathy Harris, 9-3 at No. 6 singles and MC runner-up in '86; and senior co-captain Emily Bartzen. who’s compiled a 13-6 mark the past two years.

Poulson will look to several prom ising freshm en to mend some of the chinks in the Vikes’ armor. Anita Salzberger from Nicolet may be the good news P ou lson Is look in g for. A th ree-tim e prep con feren ce cham pion and a th ird-place fin isher at last year's state h igh-school m eet. Salzberger com piled a 25-3 record as a senior. Owner of an 8 1 -26 career record, Salzberger is expected to challenge for the Vikes' No. 1 singles position.

Amy Brandt (Kaukauna). a former prep MVP and two-time c o n f e r e n c e c o n s o l a t i o n ch a m p io n ; Use R ohrbach (Neenah), who played on strong Neenah squads. Leslie Werely (M en ash a) and C h r is t in e Salzberger, Anita's sister, are also expected to make strong bids for spots in the Vikings’ starting lineup.

“The top of our lineup looks strong." Poulson said, “but the picture gets cloudy after No. 3. I’ll have to read the potential of the new com ers very quickly. It’s hard to predict how things will fall into place, but I think we’ll continue our tradition of strong tennis."

Since 1982. the Lawrence University men's cross country team has compiled an enviable record: th ree c o n se c u t iv e M idwest C onference ch am p ­ion sh ip s (1983, '84. ’85). a second-place finish ('82) and a third-place finish (’86). Gene Davis starts his 27th season as a Viking head coach with the makings of another winner.

Eight letlerm en return for Davis, including three former a ll -M id w e s t C o n fe r e n c e performers, junior Peter Bredlau. who earned all-MC honors with a 15th-place finish at last year's conference m eet, is the top retu rn er from the V ik es’ third-place team of a year ago. He will be pushed for the Vikings No. 1 spot by seniors Dave Worley and Bob Seiler. Both Worley and Seiler missed last year's season, but were key members of the Vikes' 1985 Midwest Conference cham pionship team with 6th and 13th p lace f in ish e s , respectively.

In addition to those three all-MC runners. Davis welcomes back seniors Mike Burr and Able Sithole, the Vikings No. 4 and 5 runners last year, junior Gary Nettekoven and sophomores Jon Hu and Terry Kloss.

Among the newcomers on this year's team , freshm an Chris Naumann from Jefferson Cily Mo., an outstanding prep runner, could challenge for one of the top three spots in the Vikes' lineup Evan Voboril (Upper St. Claire.

Pa.) and Keith W ojciechowski from Chicago, a pair of four year lettermen, are expected to make strong bids for spots

One big question Davis faces is the status of sophomore standout Keith Vander Meulen. The Vikes' most valuable runner and a fourth-place fin isher at last year's conference meet. Vander Meulen will likely have to sit out tl» season due to a respiratory pro ole m.

But even w ithout Vander Meulen. Davis is confident the Vikings are a si rious conference contender.

“We have a tremendous amount of potential on this team," Davis said, “1 really think w ere a stronger team than last year. A lot w ill depend on our upperclassmen.*

When it comes to the women's team. Davis is unabashed in his assessment. “Best ever" is how lie describes the 1987 lady Vikings. Since becoming a varsity sport in1979, the women’s cross country team has made steady progress up the ladder of su ccess, the Vikings capped last season with a fifth-place finish at the Midwest C onference ch a m p io n sh ip s , their highest finish ever.

While the Vikings lose two

all-MC performers from that tea m , th ey retu rn five letterwinners from a year ago. in c lu d in g No. 1 ru n n er sophomore Jennifer Wilcox, last year's most valuable runner. Wilcox earned all-MC honors with a fifth-place finish at the conference meet.

Also back is senior captain Marilyn M atlskl. who just missed all M ldwest Conference h on ors last year w ith a 19th-place finish at conference; sophom ore J ill Edwards, a strong No. 5 runner last year; ju n io r Lynn B ebeau; and so p h o m o re Amy N eubert. Sophom ore Jenny Aspen, an all-conference track performer who did not run cross country last year, is expected to make an im m ediate contribution. Davis also has high hopes for a trio of f r e s h m e n - S t e p h a n ie Breidenbach from Elmhurst. 111., Beth Swlt/er (Belvldere, 111 ), and Ann BJelland from Eden Prairie, Minn.

“We had our best finish ever last year and I look for us to be even stronger this year." Davis said of his women's team “We have a very talented group of runners. The season should be a lot of fun."

hittt*rs up front. Juniors Kari Hanson and Stephanie Samuel, a pair of two-year starting hitters, anchor the front line for the Vlk ngs. Samuel, a middle hitter, earned all Midwest Conference recognition last year

Junior Sandy Landis and sophomore Amy Vorpahl and Greta Larson, all of whom started a year ago. also return .is hitters. Sophomore Paula MacGregor, who missed much of last season with an injury, and sophomore Chris Spica add quality depth to a strong front line.

A lthough th ere are no u p p erc la ssm en am ong the setters, two return with starter's experience. Sophomores Trade Spangenberg and Vicki Grissman again will be counted on to make the V ikes' o ffen se work. Sophomore Candy Yashiro saw constant playing time last year at the team 's No. 3 setter. Spangenberg. like Samuel, also earned all-MC recognition.

Gottshall also is counting on a strong class of talented freshmen to make som e im m ediate contributions. Michelle Slusher (Longmont. Col.) a 5 - fo o t - l l , left-handed hitter who earned all-conference honors in high school, can only help the Vikings' front line. Amy Cooper from Whitewater, a three-time all-conference prep performer, and Molly Parker (Amery) will get long looks as setters, while Claire Gustafson from Rockton. 111., will be a backrow specialist.

Since its inception as a varsity sport in 1978. the volleyball team had never won more than four matches in a season until last year. Gottshall is cautiously optimistic that this could be the year the Vikes make a serious run at the elusive .500 mark.

With a team long on offensive firepower but lean on defensive capabilities, don't be surprised il Lawrence’s women's soccer coach Tony Ansems relies on a simple, if not obvious, strategy in 1987: outScore 'em!

The lady Vikings did just that last year en route lo a school-record 10-6-2 fin ish . Lawrence nearly doubled its o p p o n en ts sh o ts on goal (4-11-251), while outscorlng them 6 2 -3 9 .

Putting the ball in the net should be the easy part again this year, as the Vikings’ top three career scorers (that's right, career) all will be together on the field for the first time ever. Sophomore Libby Mullin. who rewrote the record books as a freshman with a 30-goal, 7-assist season , anchors the Vikings high-scoring attack from the left w ing. S e n io r c o -c a p ta in Katherine Bugby. who ranks third on Lawrence's all time scoring list after scoring 13 goals last season, returns to right wing. And senior Jane G rossm an, Lawrence's no.2 all-time scorer, rejoins the Vikes at center forward after stud ying off cam pus last fall. Add senior forward Edie F indeis, the Vikings' second-leading scorer two seasons ago. and you have a front line capable of humbling an opponents' goalie.

Seniors Mona Sykora and Melissa Wagner will provide the leadership in the middle of the Vikes' defense. Sykora earned all-M idw est C onference and second-team all-state honors last seasons as a halfback, and Wagner was the Vikings' most valuable midfielder in 1985.

Ansem s is also counting on Melanie Perreault, who he said

“did a super job last year" at fullback, and ha Hijacks Molly Myers. Laura Sisola, Michelle Perreault and Stephanie Gllboy to help solidify the defense.

New freshman studies coursecontinued from page 1

program, but it wasn't until 1945 that the decision was made to expand it beyond the English department. Today, over half of the college is teaching in the program.

Writing emphasized

The new program is putting more em phasis on writing. The renewed commitment is in part due to a perceived weakening of students' writing skills over the past decade, as well as an expansion of the Writing Lab, located in the basem ent of Brokaw Hall.(The Writing Lab will now be

accessible to Freshman Studies students, as a result of the hiring of 14 full-time Freshman tutors. In the p ast, according to Doeringer, the Writing Lab would not have been able to meet the needs of first-term Freshmen.1

Not a history course

and the winter term the modern era.The works selected for the

chronology are greatly changed from recent years. The staples of Plato's Republic and The Bible's G enesis remain, but Faulkner's As I Lay Dying is gone. In ad d ition , one non-W estern reading has been included to insure that students don't get blinded by the overwhelmingly Western reading list, according to Doeringer.The purpose of a common core

course, in which all new students read the sam e works, is to develop a set of institutional standards, explained Doeringer. and to set forth a notion of how a lib e ra lly ed u c a te d p erson approaches a work.

“How do you make sense of a work? How, as an Art Historian, do you com e to grips with Einstein?" queried Doeringer rhetorically. The instructors, who come from a cross-section of

field of study, are not experts on the w orks, sa id Doeringer, exp la in ing they are in stead acting as guides. This creates an extra burden on students, he said. “The only way to learn to approach these works is to do it." he said.The new program has instituted

a variety of writing assignm ents, instead of exclusive use of the formal essay . Doeringer said there will be three formal essays instead of four, and two other shorter written assignm ents.

This change is a result of a recognition that “other types of w riting are u se fu l to the e d u ca tio n a l p rocess," sa id Doeringer. “Having people pay attention to a lecture and explain the thesis ls an important skill in conjunction with writing." he added.

Lecture series changes

Men's Soccer: Long on defense, short on firepowercontinued from page 6

year's 7-6-1 record will depend largely on finding some frontline scoring and im provising at goalie.

Four all-Midwest Conference performers return to the Vikes' fullback and halfback lines. Junior Jim Kimball, a two-time all-MC selection and the Vikes' second-leading scorer last year, an ch ors the halfback iine. Senior Bob Countrym an and junior Steve Jankow ski, who returns to the Vikes after missing last s e a s o n , bring all-MC credentials to the fullback line, w hile Junior R oss Shrigley earned all-Midwest Conference honors last year as a sweeper.

The return of halfback Sean G ilsh a n n o n and fu llb a ck Charles Henry, both starters a year ago. and the addition of freshm an Adam Burke from Madison, an all-state halfback, so lid ifies an already strong defense.

“D efensively we look pretty solid." said Ternes. who starts his fourth season with a 25-10-1 overall record. “We have talent and experience all along our halfback and fullback lines."

Offensively, the picture isn't so bright. The Vikings averaged Just 1.9 goals per game last year and with no proven scorer back, they may have to scrap for every goal again this year.

T ernes will look for more p ro d u ctio n from retu rn in g forwards Dan Cullinan and Dave Gretsch, who together accounted for Just six goals last year. Gretsch has all the tools to be a force up front, but suffered an en d less series of injuries last year that limited him to just three starts. Scoring help may com e from freshm an Jam es W illis from C hicago, w ho's6-foot-5 frame might turn out to be a great weapon on cornerkicks, and Patrick O'Leary (St. Paul, Minn.), an all-conference prep performer.

In addition to putting som e punch in the Vikes' offensive attack, T em es desperately needs to find som eone who can play goalie. With the graduation loss of 3-year starter and 2-time MVP goalie Dan Dreyfus, Tem es finds him self without an experienced goal tender.

Senior Scott Peck, a first-year player, and freshman Pat Coffey from Wayne. Nev. will get first crack in front of the goal. If neither works out. Tem es may have to ask for volunteers.

The V ikings last won the Midwest Conference title in 1985.

Doeringer justified the loss of the sem inars by arguing that basic writing skills are a more important asset at It he freshman levell than is a research paper.

In addition, students lose some flexibility because they cannot choose the course they want in the second term of the freshman program.Doeringer agrees that it's a

shame the choice is gone, but he says the new commonality offers a “set of values throughout life."Freshman studies is an attempt,

not to explain or study the great works, but to explain how to stu d y them , according to Doeringer.“The course puts a premium on

students' ability to express ideas - both written and verbally." and

that is a high payoff, he said, adding it creates a b asis for important sk ills in many areas: law. governm ent. Journalism and writing.

JIM S PLACE“Home of the Red Devil”

223 E. College Ave.

D oeringer ta k es p a in s to explain that Freshman Studies is not a history course. ‘There's no overriding theme; works are the key." The goal of the program, he says, is to cultivate sk ills by exposing students to the great works of Western civilization.For the first time, the term

“works" app lies not only to books, but to art and m usic, which is a part of the course.“We want to use drama, visual

arts, and music." said Doeringcr. who explained students will be required to purchase a cassette wilh m usic by J.S. Bach on it. Though excited by su ch a prospect. Doeringer recognizes there are problems inherent in such a plan.

“It's a large change. There are a lot of problems, technical and Intellectual." He q u estion ed whether students would accept listening to Bach as a part of a class assignment.

Doeringer said the two terms will be treated chronologically, with the fall term covering the period up to the Enlightenment.

The traditional lecture series will remain, with som e changes. Doeringer said the series will be delivered primarily by Lawrence faculty. In the past, many outside speakers were brought in.

But Doeringer said the outside lecturers frequently spoke to the faculty and not to the students, and because they didn’t know the institution, they weren't able to put their lecture into context.“Our faculty can better put it

into context." he said. “They know the course, and they know the audience."

History professor Frank Doeringer

S om e m em b ers of th e com m ittee that explored the c h a n g es to the F reshm an program were concerned about the lo ss of the F reshm an S e m in a r s , w h ich a llow ed stud en ts to select a topic of interest. In addition, it provided a format in which many students wrote their first research paper. “Many people characterized that as a loss." said Doeringer. referring to loss of a course in which students were taught about research papers.
