Hacker Breaks Union’s System; No Damage Done
The word “hacker”, has be­
come common thanks to the end- 
less publicity presented by movies
by Anita Gregerson
such as “Wargames.” 
Hackers 
are usually depicted as criminals 
who attempt to break into top se­
cret files, or as a child genius 
merely in the “game” for excite­
ment and adventure. Recently, at 
Union College, there has been a 
breech of security in the computer 
system and a student, who shall 
remain nameless, was able to gain 
access the the System Manager 
Account. There was no apparent 
damage to the personal files of the 
students or any other files. When
computer, including your personal 
asked why he felt the student had 
the compulsion to break into the 
college’s computer system, Mr. 
Becker stated that he believed the 
student was simply intrigued by 
computers 
and 
became 
“overzealous.”
Computer Services will be issu­
ing a packet -discussing security 
violation incidents and the conse­
quences one may face if they 
attempt to “break” into the com­
puter. 
The punishment of the 
hacker has not yet been decided 
due to the fact that it is not yet 
apparent exactly what the student 
did after he gained access to the
account. Computer Services has, 
however, beefed up their security 
to avoid any other such cases as 
much as possible. 
Mr. Becker 
expressed some remorse about be­
ing forced to increase the security 
system. By causing the files to be 
harder to access by hackers, in 
turn the files are increasingly har­
der to access by the rest of the 
students.
For those of you who feel your 
privacy has been invaded by the 
break in, it may interest you to 
know that the personal files of the 
students are monitored. 
This 
means that there is a record some­
where of everything you do on the
conver- sations. 
Mr. 
Becker 
assures 
that though there is 
monitoring of student accounts, 
there is no invasion of privacy. He 
also added that no one can access 
the information in the personal 
files unless they have the written 
consent of the holder of the file. 
According to a source in Comput­
er Services „ 
lists of vulgar 
language used on the computer 
have been turned into the deans 
and students have been repri­
manded. Mr. Becker assures us 
that the files are only accessed for 
disciplinary action when there is 
a suspicion of misuse. Regar­
dless, user discretion is advised.
UC Library Computer System Up and Running
Soon Union College students 
and faculty will have access to the 
campus library card catalog from
by Jeanne Assam
their rooms and offices. The sys­
tem making this possible is called 
the Inlex/3000 Integrated Library 
System developed by Inlex, Incor­
porated in Monterey, California. 
From the company, three base mo­
dules are currently available: 
Database 
Control, 
Circulation 
Control,-and Online Catalog.
“I think that the students will be 
able to retrieve more books using 
this system rather than using the 
card catalog,” Larry Onsager, 
Head Librarian said. “It’s a sys­
tem that is going to be very easy 
for the students to use. It’s not 
complete yet, but I’m very satis­
fied with what we have up to this 
point, and I’m anxious for the 
company to complete it.”
Workers are presently putting 
the reference books on the system. 
They are working on the call num­
bers and putting bar-code labels 
on the books. Onsager also men­
tioned that apparently someone
has been tearing off the bar-code 
labels and stressed the importance 
of leaving them in place.
The Online Catalog is now avail­
able in the library and any other 
place on campus with an HP ter­
minal. Some of its special features 
are truncated searching, which 
means that if a person does not 
know how to spell a title he is 
looking for, he can either type the 
first four letters -of the word, or 
even just something that sounds 
similar, and the “search catalog” 
key will find what he is looking for. 
Go through the index, for exam­
ple, look for the author, like 
“White” and it will give all the 
author names of “White”. From 
that list, a highlighted bar will be 
on the screen that is there to be 
moved up and down to whatever 
line of information the person 
chooses. By pushing the function 
key to display titles, it will give all 
of the data on that certain subject: 
the title, call number, etc. It also 
requires no prior knowledge of 
computers or library processes. 
By experimenting with the cata­
log, one can learn to retrieve infor­
mation in several different 
formats, giving the most direct 
method of finding answers.
Deforest Nesmith, reference li­
brarian, says that the Generic 
System is the system that the stu­
dents will be able to use from their 
rooms, hopefully, at the end of the 
year. Nesmith is optimistic about 
its future uses for students.
“The kids that use it now in the 
library find it fun and easy to use, 
and they’re not afraid to use it. 
Once they have used it, they’ll 
stick with it because it’s faster and 
more efficient. ’ ’ Speaking of effic­
iency, Nesmith says that by 
December, the computer will allow 
the information to be printed off. 
Whatever subject a person choos­
es to do research on, the> entire 
bibliography can be made on the 
print out. By giving it the com­
mand, the computer will also al­
phabetize by author, title, or 
subject.
Onsager said that so far, 80 per­
cent of the Online Catalog is 
available on our computer system,

Goals: They’re Yours And They’re Now
If you’re anything like me, from 
the time you were little, people 
have been asking you what you 
want to be when your grow up. 
And I’m sure I came back with 
many of the same replies you did.
Then have you noticed, you hit 
the college scene and whamol you 
no longer have any idea what your 
main goal in life is anymore? Oh 
sure, I have a major just like the 
rest of you out there, and I’m even 
working on a double minor, but 
what’s the main purpose?
You have been told often in your 
growing up years that goals are 
essential for a person, ‘‘especially 
if that person wants to amount to 
anything!” (A typical statement 
your father would make to your 
mother, while looking YOU direct­
ly in the eyel)
So, you decide that you’d better 
get a goal, and quick! You think 
about it, and decide that well, 
umm, your goal is to find a goal by 
the end of the school year! Gra­

duation rolls around and now 
you’ve decided that, for your goal, 
you are going back to college next 
year. To do what I ask you, take 
another 9 months of classes and 
spend $8000 thinking about "what 
you want to be when you grow 
up”?!
I know that, for me, graduating 
from college with a degree and 
various minors is a goal. 
I’ve 
planned this, (my parents have 
planned this) it’s a goal. Futher- 
more, I want to work in the P.R. 
department of a hospital. 
I’ve 
planned this. I have a goal. But 
did you ever wonder if the goals 
that you set for yourself 
(or 
people, i.e. parents, suggest for 
you to set) have to seem so un­
exciting? Maybe to some of you 
study 
hermits 
out there the 
thought of spending a straight four 
years of your life swamped by pop 
quizzes, term papers, and horren­
dous 
study 
guides 
sounds 
exciting, but not to me! 
Excite­
ment is going some place new, 
seeing different things, meeting 
new people and, of course we can’t 
forget, trying new foods! I think 
the name of the game here is: 
experiences!
O.K., we’re talking adventure. 
Do something unique, different, 
something completely off the wall. 
Maybe doing you laudry or writing 
your mother is unique for you,

thing like going overseas...(don’t 
panic, this is not an advertisement 
for Student Missions.)
My mother called me up on the 
phone today and said, "Nichole, I 
just read the Gocktower, cover to 
cover!” I told her I was very proud 
of her. “Nichole, did you see that 
ad, that one about Maranatha...” 
Oh no, I said to myself! Here it 
comes; Mom’s big pitch on what a 
marvelous experience this would 
be for me. “Think of all the inter­
esting people you could meet. You 
could learn another language.” 
And here’s the clicher. “Honey, 
this is the chance of a life time!!” 
So, mom’s hyped on the phone 
again with yet another big andven- 
ture for me to go on...
But I thought college was THE 
“chance of a life time”? And I 
honestly believe that it is an im­
portant goal in an individuals life! 
I think it should be a priority, but 
what 
about 
the 
adventures? 
Shouldn’t you have a few adven­
turous goals in life too? 
Maybe 
Maranatha isn’t your style. Hey! 
that’s o.k. But do something! Sit 
down and think about what’s im­
portant to you.
So, I’ve come to the conclusion 
that these “chances of a 
life 
time” should be incorporated into 
our goals that we plan for our­
selves. Why should we limit our 
horizons? I know, you’re saying,

rich! There are things a person 
can do that don’t require loads of 
money that are fun, exciting, and 
definitely an experience.

new state, a completely different 
region of the country! They even 
PAY you for your experience!

You can raise the

She really thinks that I should 
make this Bolivia trip a goal, and I 
just might do that. But I know one

set 
goals for himself/herself. 
They don’t have to be just the 
boring 
practical 
kind, 
either. 
There should be a balance. Why 
not think up some outa-this-world 
kind of experience to set as your 
goal?

Tetz Impresses Students
He sat with his feet kicked up on 
Rich Carlson’s desk, stealing M& 
M’s from the “Minneapolis” mug
by Lisa Homer
on the comer. “So whadd’ya wan­
na know,” he asks with a grin.
Even though he spent only one 
short week here at Union, Ray 
Tetz left behind a lasting impres­
sion on many of the students. ”He 
has such an interesting way of 
speaking,” commented one stu­
dent “His mannerisms and his hu­
mor make him very easy to listen 
to.” Another student summed it 
up this way, “He doesn’t preach, 
he talks.” 
Tetz’s approach of
the truth, touched with humor, 
was very popular with most stu­
dents. And it is this humor that 
was very important to Tetz. When 
asked about this unique approach, 
and if he ever feared offending 
someone, he answered, “When I 
give my talks, all of the wit is 
rehearsed. I don’t usually go right 
off the top of my head. As 
for 
offending people: Yes, I worry 
about a few 
people misunde­
rstanding, 
but 
I worry more 
about not reaching or enlight­
ening a larger group of people.” 
Tetz believes that God has an 
incredible sense of humor, and

New Psych Classes To Be 
Offered Second Semester
A special notice to all psycholo­
gy, behavioral 
science, 
social 
work, theology, and education ma-
by Jeanne Assam
jors: 
The 
following
second-semester classes should 
. warrant your attention.
U 
BASIC INTERVENTION 
SKILLS - This is a course designed 
to provide practical know-how for 
intervention in peoples’ lives at 
the critical and/or crisis moments. 
This course will investigate the 
techniques Christ used in inter­
vention, developing and maintain­
ing communication with people, 
establishing and using helpful re­
lationships, 
the 
use 
of 
problem-solving processes, ,and 
how to deal with vulnerability, re­
sistance, and dependency. There 
will be field experience.
2. PERSONALITY THEORY - 
This course is an introduction to 
personality theory with emphasis 
. upon the contribution and practi­
cal application of such theory in 
understanding our fellow human 
beings as well as ourselves. 
If 
individuals in the helping profes­
sions, as well as in normal family 
relationships, are going to interact 
with others in an understanding 
context, it is important they have 
as a valuable resource the various 
studies in personality theory which 
will provide insight into motiva­
tion, perception, adjustment tech­
niques, and other aspects of the 
human condition which determine 
personality and accompanying be­
havior.
3. 
HISTORY AND SYSTEMS 
OF PSYCHOLOGY - There is 
probably no course you will take as 
an undergraduate that can offer 
you as much as this one in terms of 
understanding psychology. 
The 
course will include: Ellen White 
psychology, the direct philosophi­
cal influences 
on psychology, 
Scripture and psychology, physi­
ological influences in psychology, 
structuralism, functionalism, be­
haviorism, Gestalt Psychology, 
and Freud and the Psychoanalytic 
movement.

Dear Editor:
I’d like to have the opportunity 
to inform the students and staff of 
how things are progressing here in 
the Division of Science & Math 
with respect to Dr. Freidline and 
his kidney transplant. Most of you 
know the basic details of his sur­
gery, but it might be useful for me 
to share with you how we are 
handling the situation here in the 
division. <
We have known for over a year 
that this would eventually happen 
and when Dr. Freidline went on 
the transplant list this summer we 
naturally hoped that he could have 
the surgery done before school 
started. Unfortunately one cannot 
schedule such things; one rather 
has to be ready to rush to the 
hospital when a matching kidney 
becomes available. We discussed 
the situation during the summer 
and came up with a contingency 
plan on what do do if he went into 
the hospital during the school 
year.
There are three classes that we 
knew would need to be covered: 
General 
Chemistry, > Analytical 
Chemistry, and Physical Chemis­
try. We have some very capable 
student assistants in the laborator­
ies who we believed could run the 
labs for a short time with little 
outside guidance. Therefore what 
we needed was to cover the lec­
tures. No one else in the division 
could be considered to be an ana­
lytical chemist, but Mr. Duran 
agreed to be prepared to take the 
class for a couple of weeks. Since 
it only meets twice a week, we also 
thought that Dr. Freidline could 
make up for the lost time later if 
things went slowly for a week or 
so. Mrs. Goyne has a good che­
mistry background and she agreed 
to take General Chemistry. There 
are some areas of Physical Che­
mistry that I (as a physicist) feel 
reasonably comfortable with, so I 
was tapped to cover that course.
When Dr. Freidline entered the 
hospital in September we put our 
plan into action and everything 
went reasonably well. At the end 
of September we all heaved a sigh 
of relief as Dr. Freidline began to 
resume teaching his classes. Un­
fortunately things did not continue 
to go smoothly for him. His sys­
tem started to reject the kidney
and had to reenter the hospital. 
As mid-term approached it be­
came obvious that our contingency 
plan had not been extensive en­
ough to handle this. The students 
were not getting the quality cours­
es that they deserved, the faculty 
taking the extra classes were be­
ing severly taxed, and we feared 
that the strain on Dr. Freidline 
might slow his recovery. We ther­
efore initiated a search to find 
contract teachers who could teach 
the classes for the rest of the se­
mester. 
We have been very 
fortunate to find two well qualified 
people who were willing to come 
and help us out.
Dr. 
Dorothy 
McMahan 
has 
taught for us before. 
She took 
Organic Chemistry the year that 
Mr. Duran was off for studies. 
She did a fine job for us then and 
we were very pleased that she 
could arrange to take the General 
Chemistry class now. 
Dr. Pete 
Blinkensderfer is currently taking 
a sabbatical at UNL where he is 
teaching Analytical Chemistry and 
doing research. He has taken the 
analytical class here and we are 
confident that he will provide a 
fine class. I am personally confi­
dent that these two professors will 
provide the students of these two 
classes with quality courses.
Dr. Freidline is home from the 
hospital and making good pro­
gress towards being able to be 
back on campus regularly. 
Our 
plan is for him to pick up Physical 
Chemistry when he is able, and 
increase the frequency of meeting 
the class to catch up and perhaps 
and get a little ahead in case he 
has another hospital stay. He will 
give supervision to the labs and, of 
course, be available to help stu­
dents outside of class as they need 
it. We hope that the reduced load 
will enable him to comfortably re­
gain his strength and be prepared 
to resume his regular duties at full 
speed at the beginning of the se­
cond semester.
We want to thank the students 
who cooperated with those of us 
who substituted for Dr. Freidline. 
We also wish to express our appre­
ciation for the lab assistants who 
are continuing to give extra effort 
in making the labs run as smoothly 
as possible.
Sincerely,
David Show, Chairman,
Division of Science & Math

Dear Editor,
With the Dino concert and now 
the October 11 appearance of Mar­
tin 
Sheen, 
the 
College 
View 
Adventist community seems to 
have hit a new low in its sense of 
decency and decorum in a house of 
worship.
My understanding has always 
been that all praise and hohor in a 
church is to be directed toward the 
Creator and not the created. And 
therefore, clapping as applause is 
irreverent and sacreligious in the 
house of God or any religious ser­
vice since it is a purely secular 
method of exalting and praising a 
man or his performance. 
(Some 
say, “Maybe the people are ac­
tually praising God in their hearts 
while they are clapping.” That's 
the same excuse some give for 
worshiping idols: 
“It might look 
and sound like I’m worshiping 
idols, and I act like I’m worshiping 
idols, but I’m really not. 
In my 
heart I’m worshiping what the 
idols represent.” God’s law says, 
“ Actions must coincide with inten­
tions.” If we really aren’t praising 
men when we applaud, then why 
do we act like it?)
I was also taught the Adventist 
pulpit is never to become a forum 
for personal or political propagan­
da.
Yet at Friday’s chapel the con­
gregation errupted in applause 
several times simply because 
some man of worldly acclaim stood 
before them. A lengthy introduc­
tion was given to publicize and 
extol the deeds of a man. And the 
public discussion centered almost 
exclusively on the entertainment 
industry and the expounding of 
personal political opinions.
Have we completely lost our 
sense of propriety and respect for 
God’s house? Can we no longer 
distinguish between the sacred 
and the secular, or the common 
and the holy? 
Are Adventist 
churches to become places where 
the rich and famous draw crowds 
because they are rich and famous? 
Must we curry the favor of man by 
imitating worldly customs and 
manners?
“Satan is continually seeking to 
overcome the people of God by 
breaking down the barriers which 
separate them from the world... 
Conformity to worldly customs 
converts the church to the world; it 
never converts the world to Christ.

Dear Editor:
It has been my observation dur­
ing my school experience that a 
certain institution on our campus 
has sustained regular denounce­
ments, publicly and privately. The 
institution to which I refer is the 
cafeteria. I must admit that there 
were times when such ill-feelings 
(and ill feelings) were not totally 
unfounded.
However, a tremendous meta­
morphosis has taken place in that

Dear Editor:
In its beginning there was scum, 
mold and garbage. During the last 
couple of years there has been 
reason for Culver Hall residents to 
occasionally complain about the 
cleanliness of their residence. In 
the past, on the way to the shower, 
I have walked around the garbage 
that was falling out of the trash 
cans. When I arrived in the show­
er rooms, I slid across the floor 
from which I watched the mold 
grow on the walls and ceiling.
Disgusting? Crude? 1 thought 
so! That is why I am very impre-
and a less predictable menu make 
dining enjoyable. A salad bar that 
lets you pay proportionately for 
what you take and a seemingly 
endless rotation of desserts for an 
orgy of the sweet-tooth are de­
lightful! And last but not least, 
the facelift in the serving area 
certainly makes it a more pleasant 
place to be.
Lots of changes have been made 
for the better. 
A salute to that 
underrated place of alimentation!
Sincerely,
Dan Sanchez
ssed with the way Culver has been 
kept this year. A proverbial ‘‘pat 
on the back” needs to be given 
to Dan Sanchez and his crew of 
environmental servants. Dan has 
been awarded the title of Director 
of Environmental Services...quite 
the term for one who has to 
see 
that the toilet gets cleaned.
....And so on the eighth day 
there was a realization that things 
had to be maintained (and clean- 
. ed). Dan took the job and is seeing 
(as we do) it is done well.
A sincere thank you!

Dear Union Friends,
I would like to go down on re­
cord as saying that I really enjoyed 
hearing Martin Sheen for Chapel 
the other Friday. I, for one, was 
very impressed with his language 
skills, openness, and apparent 
commitment to humanitarianism.
But there are those, with whom 
I have shared the above opinion, 
who see Mr. Sheen in a different 
light. 
I have been clearly. and 
cleanly rebuffed by such persons. 
The messages are clear: “Martin 
Sheen is a Democrat, and Demo­
crats 
start wars 
and 
create 
national debt”, or, “I personally 
find Mr. Sheen’s ideology rather 
repulsive, (to paraphrase).” 
I 
have accepted these messages, at 
the 
most, 
as 
statements 
of 
concerned viewpoint, and at the
least, 
as -mere 
expulsion of 
opinion. But I became particularly 
concerned when it was stated, by 
several individuals, that Martin 
Sheen did not belong as a speaker 
ai Union College... 
period. 
MMMmmm...I began to ponder. I 
would bet my second best guitar 
that there is a good sized group of 
others with the same. view. 
I 
would like to address this group 
openly.
Judging by the generous size of 
the portrait of Mr. Sheen adorning 
the Clocktower front page recent­
ly, 
the 
editor 
and 
company 
apparently consider Martin Sheen 
worthy of display. And yes, there 
was a healthy crowd on hand for 
Mr. Sheen’s presentation. 
As­
suming that these spectators were 
not simply a group of Mends from
the community, it could be con­
cluded that there was a definite 
interest among Unionites concern­
ing what Martin Sheen had to 
present, if not a tide of enthusiasm 
for this “ambassador of Hollyw­
ood.” 
Union’s students got 
“short cut” class periods and even 
worship credit. What more could 
they ask for—a credit hour or two?
Be aware that Martin Sheen did 
not have to come to Union College 
in Lincoln, Nebraska, nor did he 
need to. 
He was invited, and 
cordially accepted the invitation, 
to speak to a group of receptive 
college students. . And speak he 
did, to the delight of many in 
attendance.
To invite Martin Sheen to Union 
is to invite him to share his charac­
ter, wit and personality with us.
Many were attentive to his words, 
and thoroughly appreciated him. 
Others decided to pass judgement 
on whatever they thought was 
wrong with Mr. Sheen—his deliv­
ery, his political party, and on and 
on. I concede that Martin Sheen’s 
speech delivery style, political 
views, church affiliation or charis­
ma give little or no case for quick 
and final judgement of Martin or 
his place in the scheme of what is 
proper for Union’s listening con­
sumption. Yes, maybe we should 
have moved his service to the 
gym, but let’s not call him a De­
mocrat and walk. 
He came to 
share a message. Did you hear 
how he cares for those in need? 
Did you get his message?
With love,
Dan Morton.

Jill Anderson Says Big “Hi”
Hello Everyone 1
Thanks for the aerogram; it was 
good to hear from you. Hopefully 
you’re having a good time at Uni­
on again this year. It was fun to 
see all of the new hair-dos in the 
Peanut Gallery. It almost made 
me wish I was there. (I said al­
most!) 
Yesterday marked my 
third month in Thailand, it seems 
like yesterday I left home.
I had no idea what I’d find once I 
got here. Old SM’s told me stor­
ies, but I couldn’t picture it. The 
doctors gave me shots for typhoid, 
cholera, hepatitis b, tetanus, dip- 
theria, and a year’s supply of 
malaria pills. On arriving in Bang­
kok, a 10-year veteran told me my 
shots only resist one out of 200 
strains of each disease and* my 
pills are needed only in the remote 
wilderness. Boy, did I feel like a 
rookie!
So far I haven’t missed home at 
all. I’m having the time of my life. 
Really, it’s my students that make 
it so wonderful. I have as much 
fun with them as I do with my 
Mends at home. My students take 
me everythwere in and out of 
Bangkok and for weekends at the 
beach. One student even took me 
on a 2-day cruise on a reservoir in 
the mountains. It wasn’t the love- 
boat, but it was nice and the 
scenery was breathtaking.
Presently a devout Buhddist 
student 
of 
mine 
is 
keenly 
interested in Christianity. In fact, 
she said to me, “Jill, I like God.” 
It’s so much fun to talk to these
people about Him. Most of them 
don’t know the first thing about 
Christ. So, I’d appreciate all of 
your prayers-for them.
Also, if you’ve ever wanted to 
be an SM, don’t pass up the exper­
ience. You’ll never regret it. God 
has blessed me so much here. I 
could never have pictured it being 
this great.
I’d love to hear from you.
Love,
Jill Anderson
P.S. Linda Hinton, please send 
some baht for your 3 rolls of slides 
at the Kodak store on 71. They 
keep bugging me about it. And 
Tami M., you should know I’m 
taking an aerobics class at a near­
by University.

A-League All-Star Team Named
With the close of another flag- 
ball season, comes the choosing of 
an All-Star team from among the 
A-League teams.
Starting with OFFENSE:
Quarterback: Troy Beans was 
the consensus choice here. He real­
ly made his team go, but the big­
gest reason he is so effective (other 
than his obvious scrambling ability 
is his capacity to make every other 
member of the team the best they 
can be.
Michael 
Miller probably had 
the best arm in the league, and 
his 
potential hasn’t been com­
pletely tapped yet. Special men­
tion should 
be made of Devin 
Scott. He played half the season 
at QB and half at WR. He was 
caught in between, but played 
both positions well.
Halfback: Lenny Sabin was the 
dominant halfback this year. 
He 
combines strength, speed and 
good hands. Another key to his 
effectiveness is his level-headed 
play. Steve Volkamer played very 
well this year. 
He possesses an 
ability to elude the defense with 
good 
moves 
and shifty hips. 
Tom Berg and Greg Parker had 
good seasons, also. 
Berg was 
quite heady and showed depend- 
• edable 
hands. 
Parker’s
super-quickness made him very
Comments....
The soccer team captained by 
Kevin Krall and Dave Tenold has 
breezed through the regular sea­
son undefeated. Will anybody be 
able 
to 
beat them during the 
playoffs? 
Doug Guerrero/Lauris 
Johnson’s team is good; if they 
get everybody there, it will be a 
good game....In the UC Tennis 
Tourney, 
Jim Brauer captured 
the Men’s Singles title defeating 
Tim Bragaw, 
6-0, 
6-0. 
The
tandem of Sonny 
Chokka 
and 
Ritsu 
Oikawa 
was upset 
by 
Devin Scott and Lowell Reyn­
olds. The victors took the three 
set match, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5....Sign­
ups for co-ed and 3-man volleyball 
have begun. Get a team together 
and sign up soon. 
Three-man 
teams may be co-ed, also. 
The 
seasqn will start the week before 
Thanksgiving 
Break 
and 
run 
through 
semester 
break.... Doc 
Fleming would like to thank all 
those 
who 
participated in the
Pag* 6
dangerous. 
He could turn a 
dump pass into a big gainer.
Center: 
Arden Fowler and
Monte Dean were both unanimous 
choices at this important position. 
How effective can an offense be 
when there are poor snaps and the 
hike comes off count? These two 
never missed the count and were 
always reliable receivers. 
They 
both played the secondary target 
role very well. They moved to an 
open area when the QB was in 
trouble.
Wide-receiver: 
George Kerr 
and Gareth Burgess were 
the 
recipients of the most votes. Kerr 
runs such crisp pass routes and is 
so reliable. 
Burgess provided a 
nice contrast with his ability to 
make the big play, and he has 
such a nose 
for 
the 
football. 
These two complimented each 
other quite well, and Beans used 
them to the fullest.
Terry Tautz and Kevin Krall 
were also recognized as excep­
tional wide-outs. Tautz possesses 
a great ability to get open. 
He 
runs the deep patterns well and 
he’s a thinking man’s WR. Tautz 
would possibly have been higher, 
but he had to play some late sea­
son QB. Krall made big plays all 
year long for his club, providing 
most of their scoring punch. The
flagball this season, for helping 
make it such a 
good 
season. 
There 
was only one forfeited 
game all season. He would also 
like to thank the officials for their 
faithful 
turnout 
and 
support. 
The officials were responsible and 
he felt confident 
in 
them. 
Fleming would like to encourage 
participation in all 
IM 
sports, 
and in taking the officiating class­
es. More money can be earned 
by officiating than any other stu­
dent labor on campus. If you are 
interested in improving your offic­
iating abilities, see Fleming about 
talcing 
the 
class 
or 
being 
tested....How about those women 
from CVA?! They beat our own 
UC women’s team 27-0 in a recent 
football game. Maybe our team 
can regroup and show a little better 
in a rematch....One last thought,
HOW 
'BOUT 
THEM 
ROYALS!?!
biggest compliment to Krall has to 
be that he was double-teamed 
and defensed closely all year long, 
but was still able to come up with 
the big play. 
He may have been 
the most underrated WR in the 
league.
On DEFENSE:
Rushers: 
Once again Lenny
Sabin was at the top of the list. He 
shows his 
versatility by being 
able to play on both sides of the 
line of scrimmage. Greg Parker 
captured the other spot on the 
first-team. His quickness made it 
hard for the other teams to run 
sweeps his way and he was always 
tracking the QB.
Lee Hircock and Mike Welch 
did a good job as well. Welch’s 
intensity 
was 
the 
key to his 
success. He was always battling. 
Hircock really used his head. 
He approached slowly, 
never 
overrunning the QB, and using his 
size to block a few passes.
Middle Linebacker: J.D. Han­
nah was the main threat in the 
middle 
for 
the 
red 
team 
(Volkamer) all year. 
His level 
head and savvy kept the red de­
fense together. Arden Fowler has 
such good flag hands; he was a 
leader on defense, for yellow 
(Beans/Kerr) this season.
Corners: George Kerr can run

which means about 65,000 titles 
and 80,000 volumes are now on the 
system. Onsager added that when 
a person accesses the Online Cata­
log, nearly everything is there 
except for the reference books, the 
educational material collection, 
and the Heritage Room material.
According to Onsager, there are 
many Online Catalogs that are be­
coming 
available 
in 
colleges. 
However, Southern College is the 
only other Adventist college using 
an Online Catalog. Union College 
students and faculty are certainly 
looking forward to the future use 
of it.
“We can be more creative in our 
teaching and not so dependent on 
textbooks since students will have 
easier access to current infor- ma- 
tion,” says Assistant Professor of 
Computer Science Arlie Fandrich.
Student Judy Gumbs says, “I 
think this is going to be great. 
Now we won’t have to run all the
pass routes well and defended 
against them, too. 
He was a 
unanimous choice selection to the 
first-team. Kevin Krall’s tremen­
dous speed helped him get on the 
first-team, 
too. 
He’s 
tough 
against the run and covers a lot of 
gorund as a corner man.
Tink Kittrell has tremendous 
flag pulling ability and a real nose 
for the football. 
He’d probably 
have been a first-teamer if he’d 
played every game. Terry Tautz is 
both fast and has good savvy. He 
may have led the league in inter­
ceptions this year.
Safety: Gareth Burgess walked 
off with this position. 
If Tautz 
didn’t have the most intercep­
tions, Burgess did. 
Jeff Pursley 
and Devin 
Scott played this 
position well, also, roaming like 
centerfielders. 
If Jeff had been 
completely healthy all year, he 
might have challenged Burgess for 
the top spot. Scott plays the run 
very well and because of his great 
quickness, can line up closer to 
the line of scrimmage than any 
other safety. He’s fast enough to 
be able to get back and defend 
against the long pass, 
and he’s 
right there on a run play.
way over to the library and discov­
er that the book we want is 
missing.”
“I think that it is a well- 
advanced and excellent idea,” 
agreed Melody Becker. “It will be 
very ftandy for the students, and it 
will save us much time.”
Surely such a fine system that 
would do so much for the college 
must have cost quite a bit of mon­
ey. 
Just exactly where did the 
money come from? Onsager says 
that the library received a Title III 
Strengthen- ing Grant that was 
started in 1982. The library has 
received about $130,000 in grants 
over the four years. We received 
approximately $12,000 for equip­
ment, and $60,000 was given for 
putting the card catalog into ma­
chine-readable form. 
Another 
$52,000 was received for software. 
This is the fourth and final year of 
the grant. With all of the advan­
tages to this system, both Onsager 
and Nesmith agree that it is money 
well spent.
