Liberty University

W e came back, just as full as our cars, with expectations for the upcoming school year. Some of us didn't know what to expect. For some, it was a brand new beginning. For others, it was the last, firstday of school they would experience. Coming to campus was a new experience for everyone, including the seasoned upperclassmen. It was obvious that our campus had evolved over the summer and we couldn't wait to explore it. The entire University had grown, not just in numbers, but in activities, academic opportunities and administrators We had more students, more halls,more ministry

teams, more weeks of emphasis, more events, more places to eat,more classes, more professorsand more opportunitiesto learn about and serve God We came back with the days of summer dwindling and the startofa new year ahead of us. Our university wasn't just the buildings or classes, it was us. Our lives were intertwined with the friends,classes and events that took place on campus. Being a Liberty University student became part of our identity. The memories we made, the experiences we would share and the happenings that shaped who we became would be imprinted on our livesas a reminder ofour yearshere

Our time at Liberty was an important season in our lives.Duringthis season, emotions would change like the colors of the leaves, relationships would bloom like spring flowers, and spiritual wholeness would come like a blanket of fresh, fallen snow.

For us, being Liberty University students was a 24/7 experience There is no beginning or end to our story What we experienced during our seasons here became a part of our livesand thehistory of our university. This is who we are... 24/7.

T t was 1997 when General Dave Young

I began his career atLiberty University

X Years before, Dr Jerry Falwell had tried to offer him a job but Young was enjoying hiscareerintheAirForce."I wasn't interested ina different job. Iliked whereI was andthe military hadbeen a part ofmy life for 29years,"said Young

Through a series of events and several years later,Young's military career was over and the opportunity opened for him tocome toLiberty.

"I didn't really know what my job was atfirst,butIknew God hadworkedit out forme tobe here,"Young admitted.

Quickly, histalents fororganization and administration were utilized and he became theVicePresidentforAdministration and Finance

When Dr. Borek resigned as Liberty's President in the spring of 2004, Young wasasked toserve asthe Executive Vice President and Chief OperatingOfficer

"At this point inthe direction of the University, thedecision was made to have Dr. Falwell serve atthehelm ofthe school as Chancellor and my role istomake sure the daily functions of this University are accomplished tomake that visionpossible," Young said.

Young'sroleintheUniversityreached beyond his position in the administration. Flying 15 types of planes for more than 35 yearsmade him more thanqualifiedtofill his position asa part ofthe Liberty University faculty inthe Aviation Department.

"My role as a faculty member allows me to experience all levelsof theUniversity. I'm able to stay in direct contact with the students and maintain communication with the faculty and ithelps me understand the different perspectives of different groups on campus," said Young

Sitting back was never anoption for Young. He made ithis jobto be informed and aware ofhis environment and thepeople he worked with and served

With newroles andleaders inplace, and Dr. Falwell's vision and thecontinuous hand ofGod upon the school, the future of Liberty University looked secure.

New Titlesand Leaders Support Liberty'sFuture

I n 1973Dr. Boyd Rist became a member of theLiberty University Faculty. Since then he advanced through the ranks over the years holding the current position of Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs.In 1995 he was selected as Vice President for Academic Affairs and in theSpring of 2004, the additional titleofProvost was given to him byDr Falwell

Along with hisnew title came new responsibilities Dr Rist explained his duties as Provost by stating,"My primary responsibility remains the management and oversightofevery facet of academic life."Dr Rist added, "This includes academic programs, faculty hiring and development,ensuring adequate support for the delivery of quality academic programs, findingand developing external sources of support for University programs, and seeking out operating efficiencies without compromising quality."

Dr. Rist noted the expanding student body had impacted his job. "It is always a challenge to provide the resources needed tokeep pace with the phenomenal growth theUniversity has experienced,"he said. He wenton tosayofhis newtitle, "I do feelan added sense ofresponsibility because the scope of duties now extends beyond aparticulardepartment or school totheeducationalneedsand expectations ofstudents ineverydiscipline."

Dr. Rist was energized byhis new position,with allitschallenges and responsibilities,because he believedthe mission of the University was absolutely criticalto the furtherance of God's great commission to Hispeople As Dr Rist put it, "...the future is exciting, each day ischallenging, andtherewardsare beyond measure."

Traffic, stop signs,pedestrians and trainsalways seem toget inthe way when students are in a hurry.Cars waited impatiently forthe train topass so they could getoffcampus.

up for a car

^^^ransportation on the campus of Liberty University was unique to say the least.The X means of transportation ranged from cars and bicyclestoscootersandwalking

More than ever before, students used bicycles as theirmode oftransportation, largely inpart tothegrowth of thecampus and theway it began tospreadout.

Chad Miller,a Junior from Colorado Springs,CO, said, "Usingmy bikejustmade iteasieronme,mainly because Inever had toworry about looking foraparkingspot."

Commuter students needed a reliable source of transportation Most commuters drove cars,butthe number of motorcycles seemed to increase The city bus no longer went all over campus,butonly had onebusstop locatedjust before Williams Stadium

Whilemany studentspreferred theeaseofcars, parking and trafficproved tobe problematic The resolution for most was the less popular form of transportation,their own two feet.

"Forty minutesofmy dayis devoted towalking from Dorm 33 toCampus North,"said KristenTurner.

Whether it was from theparking lot,thebus stop or Campus North, some type of walking was inevitable. Freshman, Sarah Hanstad commented, "I never thought I would beahitch-hiker, butnow I am!"

Studentsand StaffAdapt to Campus Expansion

S om e students and faculty had to rearrange and adapt their daily routines to accommodate the changes that occurred on campus during the summer months.

Sophomore transfer student,Alyssa Millercame from Mary Washington College for Liberty's Nursing program. Miller noted, when camparing the two schools,that Liberty's academic classrooms were more spread out.The advantages for Miller and many other students were that the expansion allowed fortop ofthe linetechnology tobe provided. These campus-wide changes were also felt among faculty and staff members. Dr. Edgar Barker and Dr. Gina Barker, married professors, came up with a convenient solutiontotheirself-prescribed"could-have-been-very-stressful" situation Dr E Barker's office, located in the Campus North building,was quite a distance to the classes he taught in DeMoss In contrast,his wife's office,located in DeMoss, posed a problem for the classes she taught atCampus North Instead ofdreadingthelongwalk ortraffic, thecouplereceived permission to use each other'sofficeson those days.

While change took some getting used to, it also provided opportunitiesforcreativity. Dr.Ronald Giese taught some of his classes in the new Campus North building with his office located in David's Place. He initiated new and challenging goals for himself that helped him adapt to the distancebetween hisclassroomsand office. "I'm going towalk every day to my officethen tomy classand back.. it's a way to stay in shape!"

The road behind David's Place provided safe and easy access from Campus North and Main Campus. Completion of the tunnel connected Campus East to Main Campus, even though the two locations were separated by Highway 460

Liberty was no longer a campus confined in one main building, but was spread out to reflect the growth taking place within itsperimeters.

The tunnelprovides Campus Eastresidents a more direct route to Main Campus

Construction on the underground tunnel took placeailsummer and wascompletedfor use inAugust

Students utilize thetunnel that runs under Highway 460 The walking tunnel wasbrightly lit and wide enoughfor Dr Falwell's suburban todrive throughit

The road provided a new and sometimes quicker route to get back and forth to the spread out campus

Changes Acrossthe Campus ReflectLiberty's Growth

L ibert y University underwent some serious renovations, as well as major additions, in order to accommodate the ever-increasing student population. The property formerly known asEricsson not only experienced several name changes but was alsoconverted into what became known as Campus North Complete with a student center, large classrooms, ample office space and the new Liberty School of Law, Campus North provided much needed relief to the growing pains Liberty was experiencing

Another major area under construction was the Schilling Center. Plans originally stated that Schilling was to be transformed into an ice hockey rink Quite unexpectedly, the plans were changed and construction began on a new athletic facility.

When asked the reason for the sudden change, Kim Graham, Athletic Director, explained, "We have three teams thatpractice inthe Vines Center [volleyball, men's basketball and women's basketball]. With church services being conducted there on Sunday and Wednesday nights,and all the other activities that are taking place inthe Vines Center,we have no other place topractice on campus."

Dr.Rob Jackson, VicePresidentofSpiritual Lifeadmitted thatsignificantadjustments had to be made in regards to campus church services with the construction of Schilling taking place. "We remind our students frequently that God doesn't dwell in buildings,but in His church The student energy hasbeen tremendous and they seem to have adjusted easily,"said Dr Jackson

Further additions included the Campus East Clubhouse, complete with an outdoor pool, theatre and cafe.

The campus-wide construction was a constant reminder thatLiberty University would continue to grow and change toreflectthatofthe student body.

SchoolWas NotOutfor EveryoneOverthe Summer

1

'ot all Liberty students enjoyed a summer without homework and papers. While most of the students and faculty sang "School's out for the summer" at thetop of their lungs, others could only hear thetune faintly inthedistance. Every summer, Liberty University offered options for students tocontinue their degrees throughout the entire year

Senior, and Lynchburg resident, Kelly Summers, received over 32 credit hours through CLEP tests, DLP and summer classes As a Communications major, Summers was required to take three practicum classes. Shewasableto knock outone ofthoserequirementswith theradio practicum at90.9 The Lightand move ahead with her requirements tograduate inthreeyears.

"I loved the radio practicum. Since I love singing,itwasfunfor me tobe around the radio station to hear more music that brightened my day,"saidSummers.

Radio practicum students helped keep Liberty'scampus aliveduring thesummer months Even though most ofthecampus was vacated, the radiostationdid not stop playingmusic.

Summer classes were hard work for students, especially for those whobalanced a job aswell. They were,however,extremely beneficial forstudents,likeSummers,whowanted to save a little extramoney and finishtheirdegreesearly Summer school also gave professorsthe opportunity to work andmake some extra money and enjoy more time with their students. English professor, Dr Karen Prior, sacrificed working on writing projects and riding herhorse toteach summer courses but said her love for her students made itworthwhile. Dr.Prior also admitted to feelingmore connected toher summer classesthan during the regularterms

While some students andfaculty tradedin theirsummer break fortext books,most agreed the benefitsmore than outweighed their sacrifices.

Students Spend Summer Break

Gaining Real World Experience

T hi s past summer, while some students were lounging by thepool drinking Frappachinos,afew select students were getting hands-on experience intherealworld.Liberty students interned atvarious companies to gain skillsandknowledge notavailable tothem intheclassroom.

To put her education to the test,and discover what she reallyknew, Lauren Millsaps, a Senior,went toNew York Cityand interned atthepublic relations firm,People's Revolution. Millsaps was notsure what toanticipate,butshequickly learned to expect the unexpected and trust in the Lord to give her strength Every day brought a new challenge toovercome, which included setting up photo shoots for G Q and Vogue magazines, runway shows, art gallery openings and celebrity dressings The business was demanding and Millsaps learned how to multitask, balance time and listen to people; skills that could not be learned from reading a textbook. "People in the PR world often get carried away with saying things W e forget to listen and comprehend the message," Millsaps said in relating a priceless lesson she learned about the importance oflistening. This experience solidified heraspirationsto be aPR professional andgave hermany greatconnections.Millsaps concluded,saying "I notonly grew professionally,butspirituallyand mentally too."

In Lynchburg, Joseph Hinson, a Senior, went to work at Advertising Design, a local ad design company. At first,he was given trivial tasks to complete such as organizing data CD's,but eventually was trusted to design a few projects forthe company. The summer was a huge growing experience forHinson. While he worked 20-30 hours aweek forAdvertising Design,healso worked 40-45 hours a week for Bedford County Group Homes, took a summer class, planned awedding andsearched forahouse. Hinson said, "Ilearned how to manage responsibility and that lifedoesn't just slow down when you're tired." If his internship didonething, ithelped him understand what he istruly passionate about: young people Hinson said he enjoyed graphic design,butdidnotlive for it "I want towake up excited about my job and there isno amount of money or material possessions that can beat the feeling that comes when I have an impact on a person's life."

From Lynchburg to New York City, interning students gained valuable experience that could not be matched Students' reasons for interning varied Some were required tointern for their majors,others saw it asan opportunity toadd totheir resume, but ultimately,itwas an opportunity toletGod change their livesand theirhearts.

Relaxed Atmosphere DrawsStudents to Summer Campus Church

J2

A s classrooms and dorms were closed for the end of another year atLiberty University, Bibles and hearts were opened during Pastor Johnnie Moore's summer edition of Wednesday night Campus Church Although the population of students in Lynchburg was much smaller during the summer, the spiritual depth and fellowship between the studentswas never lacking.With an average crowd of about 70students, and a more casual, relaxed atmosphere courtesy of David's Place, the summer Bible study allowed the students anideal environmentto build relationshipsand study God's Word PastorJohnnieMoore ledthe services and said, "The mood ofthe summer is just different and we tryto use that positively. Many summer students are stripped ofmost of their close relationships, so we provide a little more intimate environment with the intentionofbuilding relationships."

Moore added his opinion forwhy the summer Bible study was successful. "By the summer time, students arejust exhausted from all ofthebigeventsthatare customary atLiberty W e liketo"un-plug" everything...make things a littlesimpler," hesaid.

Even after the main student body had returned home forthe summer,the summer students at Liberty Universitystill had a chance forfellowship and learning about God, thanks to the unique ambience ofsummer campus church.

Teams ReturntoCampusEarly to PrepareforCompetition

'eeks betore the majority of Liberty s studen body returned to campus, some of the dorm rooms were already occupied and the ReberThomas Dining Hall had already begun to servemeals

While most Liberty students were enjoyingtheir lastfewweeksofsummer,others had already returned to campus to begin their school year early These dedicated students were members of athletic teams, leadership teams and academic teams, who gave up part of their summer inorder to practicetheir passing and kicking, marching and oratory skills, and prepare for the upcoming year of competition, entertainment and leadership.

"Sacrificing the last few weeks of summer vacation waswell worth itto shows Photo bV Meggan Moran attend debate camp. We got a huge head starton debate work," said Freshman Kirsten Porter-Stransky, a newcomer to the LU Debate team.

While the mutual priority ofeach team was towork hard and be prepared for the games and competitions ahead of them, another goal was togrow together asa group and fellowship with one anotherbeforetherushofstudentsreturned toLiberty forthe academic year.

"Even though we practiced with the band day and night, the best part of marching band camp was getting to know the other girls incolor guard,"said Sophomore Julie Phillips

Flames Running Back,Erick Harris,was justone of about 60 football players to stay in town to train "The firststep was being here allsummer. The next step isdoing it on thefield," saidHarris.

Hall leadership teams used the extra two weeks before students arrived and classes started to build unity on their halls and prepare forthe upcoming year ofactivities, hallmeetings and prayergroups

Teams started training and practicing as early as Augus 1,proving theirdedication and heart was well worth thesacrifio oftheirshorter summer vacation. Bg Jaaa Tlamm

One Student'sNeed Unites the Entire Campus ^

It started with one person in need. Soon, two residence halls joined forces to help a friend What developed was an example of the unity and family atmosphere exemplified by Liberty University.

Zach Wilkinson had just arrived on campus but was facing thereality of packing up and heading home because he did not have the funds to remain atLiberty. Wilkinson had one day to come up with $3000 it would take for him toremain at school.

"They [Liberty University] had helped me as much as they could," Wilkinson explained "I was praying about it and trying tofinda way and then the guys on my hallgot together and we prayed."

Wilkinson's 'brothers'from Dorm 8 laidhands on him and prayed for an answer to hisproblem. Then they decided to get involved. They made tshirtsand developed the slogan, "3K by Wednesday" Their idea was toraise the money by asking students togivewhat they could.

Charlie Bussey,Dorm 8's SLD (Spiritual Life Director),organized the group and collected the money that was brought in Wilkinson's sister dorm, 19-2,joined the cause and helped collectmoney aswell

Fancy Dillard, one ofthegirls from Wilkinson's sisterdorm, said,"The unity ofthe brother dorm encouraged me to help."

It took only one day toraisethe $3000 thatwas needed forWilkinson remain on campus Donationscame in all sizes, from sparechange toa $160 contribution Only three of those collecting money knew Wilkinson from last year.The resthad only known him fora few days,but that didn't stop any of them from gettinginvolved Strangers contributed without knowing him at all Ittook one person with a problem to unite twenty essential strangers who formed a bond stronger than any campus activity would havebuilt

"It was coolthatwe gottoseea miraclehappen It strengthened all our faithand we gottokeep a great friend,"Bussey said

Wilkinson was quick to offer his gratitude to the brothers and sisters who united to help him in those first few days of the semester, but he also acknowledged the sovereignty of God as the biggest factor allowing him to stay

"It's all God's grace;that'sthebiggestthing,"he said Marcus Gaines, one of Wilkinson's friendsand brothers from Dorm 8 reported that Wilkinson received more than justthe $3000 he needed. "He got 10% more than what he needed - enough totitheand that'sexactly what he did." Bg RaetdPateM

StudentsEmbrace "Loopholes" in the Liberty Way

W hil e the term 'loophole' seemed to have negative connotations, the benefits of loopholes in the Liberty Way actually gave freedom and allowed students to branch out and explore all thatLiberty had tooffer.

Spirit days allowed students to wear jeans and casual t-shirts to class, a privilege that was a rarity on campus. While curfew was something Liberty had always enforced, late night opportunities were provided for students Students were allowed to sign out to the computer lab past curfew in order to get work done and late night activitiesgave students the chance to hang out with friends atapproved events.

"Signing out to the computer lab let us stay out later than curfew. The line to get passes on Thursday nightswas so longbecause somany people signouttothe labafterhallmeeting,but thewait was wellworth it," said

Students also had the privilege of RA signouts. Thisgave studentstheopportunity tostayoutpastcurfew without breaking it. It also provided a great way for RAs to get to know their fellow resident on a more personal level.With RD permission,RAs were allowed to sign out with students until 2am Staying on the specified Wards Road was not a problem,astheonly placesopen that late were Wal-Mart,Sheetz,and IHOP.

Although there were always students who complained about the dress code, curfew, room checks and other highly debated issues involving the the rules,reality showed just how fartheLiberty Way had come."Liberty has come a long way from girls having to wear skirtsall the time and guys having to wear ties. Things have definitely changed for the better," sail

Liberty students thrived off of spirit days, late nights in the computer lab and with RAs, and other activities that made up the "loopholes" of the Liberty Way, giving them the freedom to enjoy theiryears atLiberty Bg Jma Thmm

The Pressuresof Dating on a Christian Campus

W hethe r you were dating or single, engaged or married, most students could agree that Liberty University was a breeding ground forrelationships. Everyone dealtwith the dating pressuredifferently

"Dating isemphasized at Liberty,but you should really spend time getting to know yourself first," said Sophomore ChrisCortez

Despite some people's advice against dating incollege,couples holding hands couldstill be seen all over campus,

"It seems like there are couples everywhere and that, for many people, makes them want to find someone to date,"said Jennifer Current,a Senior Health Promotions major

While perspectives on dating varied, one thing was evident: Liberty's campus provided an opportunity to meet godly men and women with whom tobuildrelationships

"I believe thatLiberty's environment helps keep necessary boundaries on relationships,"said Senior Elementary Education major, Jennifer Cline

Through the dating process, students were able to figure out what they did and did not want in a relationship, along with qualities they were looking forina futurespouse

"Irealized it'sbetter to wait for someone you really like that can turn into love instead of just randomly dating people Iknow Icould never marry,"said engaged ChristaGarthwaite,a Senior Nursing Major

Lessons inlove proved tobe a part of the education process for those participating in the collegedatingscene.

T h e cost of college could be overwhelming and strenuous on any person's budget. While some studentswere fortunatetohavetheir parents pay for college, many students sought outjobstooff-setthecostof tuition and livingexpenses.

Senior Jeremy Boles, from Cumming, GA,worked inLynchburg with a landscaping company. Boles said,"This job shows methat lifeisn't aseasy as it once seemed to be."

Students able tofind work study jobs had the benefit of goingto schoolandwork oncampus. Julia Forystek,aSenior whoworked in the Residence Life Office, said, "I really like working on campus because it'sreally convenientand it works with my class schedule."

The Ortu's came to see their Freshman daughter, Peggy Ortu, and participate in Family Day 2004 While their plans were dampened with the onslaught of rain from Hurricane Ivan,their enthusiasm was not.

Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr Mark Hine, was not only a long-time Liberty employee but also a parent ofLiberty students. Daughters Jessica, a Freshman, and Rachel, a Senior, grew up around Liberty and became very familiar with the school even before they were students.

"Any time you work inside an organization, you know what the challenges are, andIthink that isan advantage tome I've got an inside perspective as to why wedothethingswedo From aparent perspective, it helpsme help my kids understand the 'why'behind thequestion,"said Dr Hine

Dr. Hine's youngest daughter, a sophomore inhigh school, already made up her mind toattend Liberty when she graduates. "I'mjustthrilledthatall 3 ofmy daughters have grown upexposed to LU andnowdon't want to attend anywhereelse."

Campus Pastor, Dane Emerick, wasalso a Liberty employee and proud parentof four Liberty students With hisoldest two out of school,Pastor Emerick still haddaughters Kira, aJunior nursingmajor,and Tina,aFreshman journalism major,attending collegeatthe same placewhere he worked "It's greatbecause every sooftenwe'llgo outtolunchjustto sit down and talk," he said Even when some ofhis kidschose tolive oncampus,Pastor Emerick admitted that being readily accessible tohis children haditsadvantages.

From Where We've Cometo Where We'reGoing

S inc e 1971, Liberty University had seen incredible changes. The vision of Dr. Falwell, however, remained unchanged through the building, the expansion, theaccreditations,thestruggles andthe victories Dr Elmer Towns hadseen andbeen a part ofitall Notonly one of Dr Falwell'sclosestfriendsand avid supporters,Dr Towns served as oneofthe original members ofthe faculty. Since then he has remained active inthe school's development.

Looking back, Dr Towns compared the initial class to the most current one, saying, "Theoriginal students were more committed tolocal church work...today's students are more into spirituality andknowing God." Theoriginal class of160students was a stark comparison to the 17,179 who attended Libertyin 2004-2005 asfull-time,part-time anddistance learning students Since theschool's beginning, Dr Towns supported Dr Falwell's

Today, the students are influencing indifferent ways."

'Almost a hidden factor atLU is how big the Youth Ministry is.Almost half theSouthern mega churches [1000 members or more] have a Liberty University youth leader." Despite being a young school, Dr Towns explained that the impact Liberty has already made on has not gone unnoticed.

In 1996, Liberty hada higher percentage ofstudents go on tograduate school than anyother college in the state "We may not have allthe Ph.D's, but whatever we have is motivating students to go beyond us and further their education,"Dr.Towns stated.

The changes that took place were evidence of just how far Liberty University hadcome, and justhowmuch had changed. Onething that would never change,according to Dr. Towns, was, "Thevision of Dr Falwell It's as powerful as vision.Dr. Towns explained, "The school isgoing almost exactly where we wanted it to go. Dr.Falwell and I deeply wanted tobuild a University mentality,and we didthat."

Through the years, the graduates of Liberty University made-a-fremendous impact on theculturearound them Dr Towns

Liberty University Acquires Rightsto the Fall'sMost Popular Show

1 I M

It was a movie most .students could remember from their childhood Singing dishes an d talking candlp.stir-ks brought the magical world of mak e believe to life through Disney's t portrayal of "Beauty and the Beast."

Liberty University brought that same magic and excitement to life with the national collegiate debut of "Beauty and the Beast." It was a performance enjoyed by both young and old Th e audience was captivated as the characters lit up the stage with their playful banter and enchanting storyline Th e show's musical numbers included favorites such as "Be Our Guest" and "Tale as Old as Time". Th e show was filled with triple threat actors that could act, sing and dance

"Beauty and the Beast" was the longest running play in the Liberty University Theater's history. Liberty was the first college to acquire rights to produce the play All the costumes had to be specially mad e by a company from Oregon With all but one performance being completely sold out, the production proved to be a favorite amon g the campus and local community

A successful show did not com e without sacrifice. Th e cast endured a grueling practice schedule, meeting six days a week for a month to learn lines and dance routines, while the stage crew worked day and night designing sets,

creating costumes and perfecting the sound quality and lighting.

Kerrianne Rice wh o played Babette, had an extra task put before her as she tried to master a French accent. "It was difficult to learn the French accent so I rented an old French movie called "GiGi" and watched it over and over again until I mastered it," Rice said Despite all the work and time required of everyone involved, the cast kept a great attitude. "It got really stressfu trying to figure out ho w things were going to com e together. But eventually I realized that this isn't a stressful thing; I ge to com e dress up and play onstage with som e of m y friends," said Joi Bowling, wh o played Mrs. Potts.

Audiences young and old cam e from campus, the Lynchburg community and even from out of state to be captivated by a timeless tale as Liberty University unveiled the magic of "Beauty and the Beast." DBgBeikaCmid

Rebecca Proctor,a SpiritualLife Director (SLD)on CE-19, said,"I chose togo to Super Conference because Iappreciate every opportunity tolearn from faithful,godly men.

iespitediversity among the ever growing student body,the instincttosatisfy hunger continued to unify Liberty students Whether they lived on or off campus, students were faced with theall-important choice of where and what toeat

Junior Whitney Baxter enjoyed living offcampus because she had a variety of options when itcame toeating "Icook a fullmeal inmy apartment atleast once a week, eat TV dinners on occasion andgoout to eat three tofour times a week," said Baxter "My friends wholiveoncampus come over afew times a week andraid my kitchentoo."

Using theability tocook inher apartment toheradvantage, Sophomore Charity Givens baked cookies,cakes and many other assorted goodies togivetotheAwana girls she led atThomas Road Baptist Church onWednesday nightsand tothe students she tutoredat 'The Center',another TRBC ministry

Students who lived on Campus East were also given theopportunity tocook for themselves Each apartment came equipped with a complete kitchen, including afull-sized refrigerator,dishwasher and stove

"One ofthe girls inmy quad lovestocook,so once aweek she cooks allofus anice dinner. Having the option tocook isgreat.Ithink itbrings allthegirlsinmy quad alittle closer to home," said Freshman ChristiCorbin,aCampus Eastresident

Although food on campus had been revolutionized with theaddition of numerous on-campus eateries, theReber-Thomas Dining Hallcontinued torepresenttheepitome ofoncampus dining, staying consistently packed forallmeals.

With the expansion of classes and offices toCampus North, theaddition of the Campus North Cafe brought a convenient food option to students and professors

While some students preferred to eat at oneof the dining locations on campus, other students thrived off the surplus of restaurants and fast food restaurants located inLynchburg. The listofrestaurants included Hardee's. CiCi's Pizza, Macado's, Applebee's,Sonic andthe extremely popular Drowsy Poet,alllocated within a mile of the two entrances to campus

*Thisis something youtell your grandkidS .

Of a ChJCk-f Jl-/?. J -John Pugh.

W ha t motivated nearly 200 people,the majority Liberty students and others from theLynchburg community, tosacrifice sleep and warmth inthe parking lot ofa Chick-fil-A, andbravethe night through temperatures dropping to30 degrees? Theunanimous answerto that question was:freechicken.

To commemorate itsgrandopening, theChick-fil-Aon Wards Road offered the first 100people whoarrived free Chick-fil-A for a year.The announcement was made during a Wednesday Convocation to thousands of hungry, andpoor, college students.Junior Jesse McCoun arrived atnoon the daybefore the grand opening By 2:15p.m., the initial 100spots were filled, with students and local patrons still arriving.

Those whoweren't among the first 100were allowed tostay andtake their chances incase oneoftheselected few decided that thelong cold wait wasn't worth it. Once signed inand tagged with acolored wristband,participants had toremain on theproperty orbe disqualified When asked why she came out, Senior Susan Fitzgerald said,"To spend quality time with my friends. What else can you doonaWednesday night except hang out at Chick-fil-A all night?" •

Four participants play Halo 2 ina make-shift out-door living room Chick-fil-A allowed studentsto run extension cords fromthe building inorder to power their various forms of entertainment, including video gaming systems, televisions andDV Dplayers

Students were allowed tosignout forthenightwith signed permissionslips from either the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women.

Many students came to visitfriends who were participating,bring them food and warm drinks or justhelp them pass the time.Students set up tents,sofas,TVs,laptops and X-boxes They watched movies, played hackey sack, football and cards to pass the time and help them forget about the November chill.

Chic-fil-A provided meals, bathroom access and entertainment

A DJ from a local radio station was brought in to keep the loyal fans entertained with music,contestsand prizes.The crowd caused such a buzz in town, the local ABC News affiliate came out to capture the Chic-fil-A stakeout

While some attempted to sleep through the cold and the noise, others stayed wide awake to enjoy the not-so-typical late night in Lynchburg Blake O'Brien explained, "I've got a 9:25 class,so Ifigure why bother going tosleep?"

Despitethecold, thecrowdsand thesleepdeprivation, theambiance oftheevening made formemories thatrepresented thespontaneity college life could bring.As Freshman John Pugh said,"I would be out here evenif 1wasn't getting anything This is something you tellyour grandkids 'Your grandpa spent the night outside ofa Chick-fil-A.'"

Over 2,200 students turned out towatch theirpeers perform in the newly remodeled Schilling Center The doors opened at 11:30 p.m., and students packed in wall to wall,some even standing to enjoy the incredible campus talentuntil2:00 a.m.

Director of Student Activities,Ira Richards, and his staff had a long 48 hours leading up to and following the Coffee House event Richards said,"StudentActivities, aside from putting on our other activities throughout the semester, has been planning Coffee House since early November The Student Activities Staff did not get to bed until after 3 a.m. on Thursday night,slept for a few hours,went to class the following morning, showed up inSchilling again on Friday at 11:00 a.m. and stayed until 7 a.m. the following morning As you can imagine,we are allexhausted aftertheevent."

hen Jon Washburn was firstintroduced to the idea of Resident Assistants (RA) atLiberty University inhisfreshman year,he was not sure of how to view the responsibility

w: i

"As a Freshman Iwas not very excited about RAs because Isaw them asparental figures," saidWashburn In his sophomore year, however,Washburn saw theneed for Prayer Leadersonhis hall and appliedfor theposition He later became anSLD thenappliedto, and was accepted, asan RA

Although Washburn said thathismost gratifyingexperience atLiberty had beenhis timespentasan RA,he alsoadmitted thatthetaskcould beadaunting one.

"BeinganRA onamalehall islike trying to coachafootball team throughapingpong tournament,"saidWashburn.

Washburn was adament that being an RA was a worthwhile experience, buthe alsostressed thatagreatdeal of work went intobeingasuccessfulResident Assistant.

"You have tomake a lot ofsacrificestobe an RA. You haveto bewilling to sacrifice timeto leadtheguyson your hall," saidWashburn.

Time wasoneof the greatest prices RAs paid. Washburn and his RA partner spent about five hours a week planning for their hall. One night each week was reserved for RD groups where RAs met with their Resident Director Washburn and his partner also planned hall meetingsand Residence HallLeadership Meetings (RHLM), as wellas performed room checks and took convocation attendance to fulfill theirRA duties.

Not every RA had the support of a partner Campus East and quad dorms had one RA per floor.Lacey Yule, a Senior and RA inCE Dorm 312-3,didn't mind theextra responsibility. "I think being the only RA is more personal.The RAs who trade off room checks every night don't get to see their girls asmuch,oronlygettoknow half thehall," she said

Despite the time-consuming duties, Washburn said, "Looking past the sacrifices, it hasbeen themost rewarding experience I have participated in whileat Liberty."

Washburn was determined to serveGod and theDorm 10 residents, who hedescribed as "a unified group of men who are striving together to be better Christians." As an RA, Washburn strivedto reachhis goal of impactingthe lives of others throughspiritual leadership

Ultimately, ashe putit,"The reward ofseeingthem finallyunderstand thatthis schoolisnot about rules, orkeeping them from having funbuttochange theirlives, is priceless."

Weekends were usually long-awaited breaks in between the week-long demand of classes,assignments and busy schedules By the time Friday evening rolled around, students were more than ready to hang out and relax. Instead,some students hitthe road.

Reserving threeweekends ofevery month forministry, themembers of YouthQuest were more than juststudents,they were modern-day missionaries.

YouthQuest began in 1981 as a ministry similartoother singing teams on campus. They were a chorale group that traveled and performed for churches. More than twenty years later,YouthQuest had transformed into a more relational and intimate ministry that focused on reaching out tothe youth ofAmerica

The original structure of the group gave team members very littletime to getto know and interactwith theteens Recognizing theneed forchange,YouthQuest redesigned its ministry so the members would have an opportunity to get involved with theiraudience and go beyond justperforming for them

According to Rich Brown, the Director of YouthQuest,the program was designed to be, "A discipleship ministry that travels to churches and youth camps and ignites a spiritualspark toinfluenceteenstogo deeper intheirrelationshipwith Christ."YouthQuest was divided into two separate teams, with a praise band and drama team. Both teams participatedin thepraise, worship and drama They were alsoinvolved withthediscipleship and relationshipsbehind thescenes.

The members traded in their comfortablebedsfor sleepingbagsandjoinedteenagers intheirhomes forone-on-one mentoring The home environment allowed theyouth toopen up and ask questions while the team members shared theGospel.

Team members went through a thorough three-phaseprocessbeforebeingselected

The team director and leaders searched for students who were committed to Christian principlesand have a passion foryouth Once the team was finalized, the work began Team members were dedicated to the ministry,committing a lotof their time to prepare and serve.The team traveled three weekends a month,had two practices a week and one team meeting every Thursday YouthQuest required members to be serious and dedicated toministering to youth,but the challenges were wellworth the effort Senior, Aaron Minton, who served on YouthQuest forfouryears, said "YouthQuest has given me a refined outlook on ministry, a challenging college experience, lasting relationshipsand a vast knowledge ofthe Southeast's interstatehighway system!"

"Working with Professor Brasher wasfantastic," said cast member Katrina Hatcher,who played Amanda Wingfield in"The Glass Menagerie.""Professor Brasher isvery organized,and has hisownspecial wayofdirecting,likehedoesn't use any type ofmicrophones inhis plays."

The cast made a positive impression on their director aswell "Ithink we have a lot of people whoare very skilled intheater," said Brasher "[The students]are very easy to work with

Another notable aspect of "The Glass Menagerie" was the small sizeof the cast.The four characters intheplay were: Ryan Massie asJim thegentleman caller,Aaron J. Bauer as Tom

IWingfield,Erica Smith as Laura Wingfield,and Katrina Hatcher as Amanda Wingfield

"With such asmall cast we really became a family and I'msoglad that everyone made my firstexperience with LU theatre such apleasant one,"said Hatcher.

After thesuccess ofhisdirectorialdebut,students looked forward tothecoming attractions in store fortheLiberty Theater group under the instruction of its newest member, Professor Brasher Said Brasher of the whole experience, "Itwas apositive experience It was areally good firstshow to direct here...Ithink itwas very good forthe students to do."

The ideawas tocreatea centralized location where students could pray and share prayer requests Dr Rob Jackson, Vice President for Spiritual Affairs, originally came up with theidea, but the project gathered momentum as the other campus pastors ran with it

While the Prayer Chapel remained open for students, theprayer room located near the Campus Pastor'sOfficeoffered aconvenientand central location forstudents to frequent between classes or whenever a need arose. Campus Pastor Dane Emerick assisted indeveloping the project and said, "Thelocation and the quiet,uninterrupted atmosphere,was justwhat the campus needed."

The prayer room was designed by Scott Ray oftheCampus Pastor'sOffice and Wendy Kerstetter of the Distance Learning Program. "Our desire was totake into perspective ourtheme, 'Into all theworld,'" explained Emerick One ofthe walls in the prayer room waspainted asa map ofthe world with a mustard seed pinpointing Lynchburg. Emerick explained thatthe ideawas tosignifytherippleeffectwecanhave here atLiberty and emphasize thatprayer startswith one andreaches many.

The prayer room wasopen from 8:00a.m. to10:00 p.m. There were prayer room managers whovolunteered tobe present during allopen hours and wereavailable to pray with students Junior Liz Sampson, aprayer room manager, said,"Thebiggest thing Ihave gotten from my time in the prayer room isa larger awareness oftheneed forprayer all around theworld Sometimes it'sso easy tofocuson ourselvesandjustthe people around us, but there are people everywhere thatneed so much prayer."

The prayer room was designed to bea place of solitude amidst the busyness of everyday pressures,schedules and activities. It was aplacewhere studentscouldescape theconstant bombardment ofthesenses totakesome time tobe alonewith their Father "It'sjust a neat place;" said Emerick, "Every time youpass by, youseekids in there praying.Even intothe evening you walk byandthey'repraying."

The opening ofswimming pools attheCampus East Clubhouse and the LaHaye Student Center made the incorporation ofa swimsuit dress code necessary. Female students were required towear modest, one-piece bathing suits.Menwere also required to adhere to standards regulating the types ofshorts thatcould beworn while swimming

Cormier embraces hismotherafter returning home from Iraq.Cormier spent a year serving in Kuwait and the Abu Gharibprisons

W hil e events inIraq continued to make headlines daily, patriotic spirit and support forthe troops on Liberty's campus was more intense than ever.With asubstantialnumber of Liberty's student body involved in the military, the possibility of friends, peersand roommates being deployed forwar was aconstantreality

Freshman Derek Cormier experienced thisrealityfirsthandwhen he was called up for active duty on February 9,2003 He returned toschool saying, "It is my choice tolivemy life without regrets.Spending ayear overseas was an amazing growth experience for me Ittaught me totrust Godin all situations, and tohave apositiveattitude.I am thankful thatI had theopportunity to serve inthewar."

Family andfriends made the ultimate sacrifice when they sent aloved one away toserve inthe military The sacrificehitparticularly closetohomefor Christina Whatley, a newly engaged Liberty sophomore whose fiance,Edward Crabtree,was deployed onJanuary 23,2005 Whatley and Crabtree,who had been dating for four years, decided to wait until Crabtree returned home from the war to bemarried.

Although Whatley was counting the hours until her fiance returned home, she was proud ofthesacrificehe was making."The truthis thatthere are many troops in Iraq whoare working just as hard as the ones whodon't make it back, and they deserve to behonored as well,"said Whatley.

Along with the sacrifice ofsending a loved oneto war came the possibility thatthey would never come home Liberty studentsexperienced the tragedy ofwar firsthand when Marine Sergeant. Jesse Strong was killed in action on January 26, 2005

Strong wasa Liberty alumnus who graduated in 2003 and was attending Southern Evangelical Seminary when he was deployed forwar. Friends who attended college with Strong remembered him asanRA onDorm 9 whowas excited to fulfill God's willforhis life.

"Jesse talked about being a Marine like heknew that's what God wanted him to do," said Kevin Conner, Strong's Resident Director. "Jesse wassoproud toserve God and his country through being a Marine, even ifit meant givinghis life."

On February 8, Liberty University honored the legacy that Strong left behind in a special memorial convocation. Strong was remembered for hislove of people and desire to serve Godin whatever circumstance Ina letter written to afriend in December, Strong bravely declared, "Remember thatI am bulletproof untilGoddecidesotherwise."

For most of Rischer's life, church attendance had been an off-and-on activity. He struggled with a lifestyle that conflicted with messages learned on occasional Sunday mornings.As Rischer put it,"You can grow up in church, but not necessarily beinto the meaning of church."

When Rischer started school at Liberty, he felt God's convicting presence increase in his life. "When I was at Campus Church, God was working with me. inthe old days, Iwould walk out when Iheard something that convicted me. ButoneWednesday night in September, Pastor Johnnie [Moore] waspreaching andhis words struck me."

That September night, Evan Rischer received Christ's salvation. Since then, Rischer has become serious about doing the Lord's work and glorifying himthrough basketball

"Evan is a shining example of what God can do with a person who surrenders his all and lays it at His feet," Rischer's SLD, David Guinn, said about the change in Rischer's life "With his leadership abilities,personality andhis love for Jesus, Evan willdefinitely make a difference in this world that cannever beerased."

The nicknaine "Flames"was chosen bystudentstoreflectLibertyUniversity's motto, "Knowledge Aflame". In1980, the eagle wasselected asthe official mascot because of its association with the patriotic school colors and the school name. Inrecent years, Liberty Athletics teamed up with student input andanadvertising agency to come up with alogo that tied the two together.

To no one's surprise the Lady Flames Basketball team captured their ninth straight Big South Conference Title, but thatwas justthe beginning ofthisCinderella story.

The game, played in College Park, MD, saw the team pull off the biggest upset in University history as they defeated Penn State 78-70. With this victory,Liberty became the firstbasketball team -men's or women's - inthe Big South Conference history towin an NCAAstoumament game

club sports For theLove ofthe Game

T h e amount of work anddedication a student athlete put into hisorher sport rarely went unnoticed. For club sports,student athletesgave it all forthe love ofthe game.

Club sports were notassociated with theNCAA and followed different policies and regulations Fora club sport tobecome established,it hadtoberecognized by Student Life as an athleticclub Once recognized, it had toreceiveapprovalfrom theSGA, complete with aconstitution that documented the rules,guidelines and proof ofsponsor.

Kirk Handy,aLiberty alum hockey player, hascoached theMen'sHockey team forfive yearsand described some ofthedifferencesbetween cluband NCAA sports. "We play NCA A rules, butcannot offer scholarshipstothe players. That's the major difference," he said.

Club teams were also responsible for finding enough sponsors toraise thenecessary operating funds. This sometimes meant student athleteswere notonly givingoftheirtalentand theirtime,butalso paying dues toparticipate

Head coach of the Men's Lacrosse team, John Westfall, said, "It takes a minimum of about $14,000 to asmuch as $20,000 torun our team."

Coach Westfall,whoplayed for the first Liberty Lacrosse team in 1985,said,"It'sanold league but we have a successful team We're very competitive and nationally ranked among club lacrosse teams."

Other club sports included Women's Lacrosse and Men's Volleyball, both following the same guidelines and putting forth the efforttomake Liberty Club Sportsjustas competitive as NCAA teams.

"Notonly arethey greatplayers, they'respirituallystrong and they lovetheLord. I tell my players when they put the uniform on, they represent this school andwhat it means andGod ishonoring that among the team,"saidWestfall.

Club teams practiced twotothree times each week andplayed a regular season ofgames A lotofeffort went in toestablishing andthen operating a club sport team, but Coach Handy said it was allworth it "I enjoy impacting the livesofLiberty Students W e have a team that could win the national championship this year. The players motivate me. What motivates theteam is building a world class collegehockey program."

Liberty students recognized the dedication ofclub sportsand supported the teams bycheeringon the hard-working athletes D Bg Adwa i

Liberty Students Travel Across the Globe to Help Relieve Devastation

On December 26, 2004, two tectonic plates crashed together in theIndian Ocean, sending trillions of tons of ocean water roaring toward India inthe form ofa tsunami After thewaters receded, thousandsof people were missing ordead andthe devastation thatwas left behind was beyond belief

Following the initial shock, Liberty Universitystudentsand facultystepped into action to help. TheCenter for World Missions planned the relief effort ina month's time Over $250k was raised and more than 100 volunteers were divided into three groups andsent toIndonesia, Thailand and Indiaover spring break.

Studentshelped buildhuts, move supplies, remove debris, and administer basic medical care. Melissa Brooks, a Communications major, decided to go to India to help those in need.

Brooks recalled pulling outa first aidkit onlyto find herself surrounded by villagers begging for help. Brooks said her team built a hut foran elderly woman who had pleaded forhelp "She was intears; shewas so grateful," Brooks said. "She knew we were Christians and asked us to pray forher That was unusual,because wedidn't get to share the gospel with many people."

Due to laws and the policies of local ministries,students had tobe very careful about what they said concerning the gospel Dr Don Fanning, head ofthe Center for World Missions, said,"It[was]very difficultto even get permission to visit these areas before the tsunami... Yet due totheir needs we were able to demonstrate the love of Christ in tangible ways, and build

For students who were ready to spread their wings, Liberty also offered an aviation program inwhich participants studied toreceive a pilot's license.

Military Science, a must-take course for ROTC enrollees, may have been the class that was least like the average course. Scott Hara, a Business major from Colorado, stated that it was the only class where "...you can go to a field and fire live ammunition from an M-16." He

recommended thecourse forBusiness majorslike himself and other students saying, "The tactics you use inthebusiness world arethesame ason thebattle-field."

For students who were looking foraclass where they could let loose and have fun while earning an elective credit, there was bowling class

Many students who looked at the class had trouble taking it seriously. Despite preconceptions they may have had,the students who actually enrolled found it tobe a challenging and interesting course.Joses Merat,a sophomore from Pennsylvania, stated,"Attending theclasses made me want tobowl more often."

Even though the class fee didn't include

nachos, andgutter guards were prohibited,it was a class Merat said hewouldn't mind takingagain. He, along with his classmates, improved their game considerably during the semester Merat related a story of how "...one guy bowled nine strikes ina row, bowled two more inthe tenth, and blew the last one (onestrike away from a perfect game) Everyone was watching That is mass pressure.. better himthanme."

We have that class''

I t has been said thattrialsbring people together and that God's hand is seen at work the most during those trials.Both of these things were more than proved to be true in the case of the Liberty Lacrosse team. Gaining much media attention, the auto accident the men's lacrosse team experienced was undoubtedly a testimony of God's preservation.

Around 2:30 in the afternoon on March 14th,during Spring Break,callswere being made allover campus toinform administrators and officialsofan accident.Dr.Mark Hine and Dean Haoyung Chien of Student Affairs accompanied Pastor Tim Jackson to be atthe team's side.By 6:30 p.m. the three were on a plane to Mobile,Alabama.

Pastor Jackson reflected on his feelings during the plane flightand his concern due to the ".. magnitude and the number of people involved." However, when he arrived on the scene his attitude was "quickly changed," by the response of the players "Because," he said, "the ones who weren't

When the campus representatives arrived, members of the Mobile community were already there, attending to details and offering helping hands tostrangers.

"There were already churches there praying, at the hospital,and they set up a hotel room," recalled Pastor Jackson. The community of Mobile, Alabama, joined in immediate and unconditional support of the team "Really, the whole cityjust outpoured," he went on tosay.

Prayers and support came from all over the country as people heard about the accident Kim Klempner, a Freshman on dorm 25,knew justhours after the accident,saying, "Igot acall from my roommate who got a call from our SLD because the SLD from our brother dorm, "Kansas" [Ryan Learning]ison the team And we juststarted callingpeople tostarta prayerchain."

Redman was in the second van and was not injured but stayed at the hospital to help his fellow players, including Porter, fornearly 10 hours.The team's unity was displayed in his selfless explanation of why he remained at the hospital,saying, "He is one of my Lacrosse brothers and Iwanted to stay and make sure he was okay and comfortable before I was."

The support continued even after spring break Back on Liberty's campus, a spontaneous love offering was taken for Chad Gurney, the student who suffered the greatest injuries in the accident. Students collected $7600 to help cover Gurney's numerous surgeries and extensive rehabilitation Gurney was the only player involved inthe accidentwho was not abletoreturnto school thissemester.

In the face of adversity the team maintained a positive outlook and demonstrated a testimony of loyalty, faith and courage. Through all the media coverage, and emotional and physical healing,the team praised God and gave Him the credit for the miracle they experienced. • Bg RaddPoweM

Tomlin,anLU alumnus,attributed hissalvation to the game of baseball He came to Liberty to play ballas a student inthe1980s. ItwasatLiberty that he heardthe gospel andaccepted Christ.

"Sportswas themeans Godused formetohearthe gospel anddevelop a relationship with Him," Tomlin said. "Baseballcan teach ussomuch about ourselves, becauseof thepressures and circumstances thatariseinthegame It's a laboratory foryou towork out your faith- you dealwith pride, pain,mental pain... things the Lord will useif you letHim." Tomlin's career in the major leagues came to an unexpected end due toinjury, but ajob offerfrom his alma mater was enough toentice himback to Lynchburg.

Remembering his years as a professional pitcher, Tomlin gained a new perspective on thegame. "Playing major league, Iwas puton a pedestal," he said; "People

make you anidol- it'sdifficulttobeinthe worldand not of it." He wanted hisathletes touse baseball as a means to draw closer to God. "Concentrate ongiving everything you have toHim," heurged the players "It freesyou from everything negative inthisgame -just like in life."

Liberty's baseball players recognized Coach Tomlin's skill both in the game and in coaching. Pitcher Todd Mitauer said, "He's been where we all want togo, andheknows what it takes to getthere."

Inhiseightyearsofcoaching atLU,more than 20 players were able tomove up tothe big leagues. Jason Jones,a Liberty alumnus who signed withthe New York Yankees in2004, remembered histimeon theteam and described Tomlin as"Aman ofcharacter, that'sthe most important thing about him."

Women's TennisTeam Equipped to Compete

Since their inaugural year in 2000, talented women had helped form Liberty's tennis team into a well recognized program. Team member Nichole Duncan described some of the obstacles the team overcame together "Welost some keyplayers who transferred, but we alsogained acouple greatgirls. Thisyear wehave puta lotmore work and time intotheseason.W e have had some unfortunate injuries that have held usback Ourcaptain, Jonita,has really stepped upand held the team together."

Five new indoor tennis courts were conveniently added in theSchilling Center this season. Competitions could notbe held onthese courts, asthe flooringwasmultipurpose and did notmeet tenniscompetition requirements, and thethreecourtswere notenough tohold a competition. However, these new areas did provide the teams with another much-needed place topractice drills and toplay doubles

The teams alsobenefited from Liberty'sseven court outdoor facility, which included lights fornight practices and games.Plans to addanother fiveoutdoor courts were ready to put intomotion inthe team's nearfuture

For competitions, theteam often packed upand traveled thefew shortmilestoSports Racket inLynchburg, where competitions were held during inclement weather and through the winter Sports Racket housed five indoor courts and five outdoor courts, as well as a pro shop and fitness and racquetball facilities.The courts wereall competition worthy anda great back-up plan for Liberty's team.

While facilities would continue to be a need and updates added bonuses, theheartbeat ofthe team would always be thefansand theirsupport.Coach Larry Hubbard encouraged thestudentbody,saying "Ifthesunshine is out, the kids come out.So grab an ice cream cone and come support the tennisteam!"

Student Activities

Increase to Keep Up with the Growing Demand

Ail l

s the campus expanded and the student body multiplied, Liberty •University buzzed with more activitythan everbefore Although many students juggled homework and part-time jobs, they also searched for activities that would relieve stress and refresh theirspirits. Chris Misiano,Associate Director ofStudent Activities said,"Our calendar is fuller because a larger staff has allowed us to facilitate more activities." Misiano also explained that Liberty's new facilities,such as the LaHaye Student Center and East Campus, contributed to more activities.

As in the past, concerts drew the most student participation. Bands such as Pax217, Audio Adrenaline, Toby Mac and Delirious? rocked Liberty Mountain. Small concerts at

David's Place every month showcased Liberty bands. Jazz nights,featuring music and a coffee bar,were also popular with students who enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere

Many students took advantage of the several trips that Student Life organized In January, a group of students traveled to Washington D.C with Student Life and witnessed the Inauguration of George W Bush Other students traveled toWashington D.C towatchDr Falwell host the popular CN N show "Crossfire" Students lined up for the Tuesday ski trips to Wintergreen Student Lifeprovided transportation to theslopes and made discounted lift ticketsand rentalsavailable

The new LaHaye Student Center was an exciting addition to Liberty's campus. James

Barnes, a Finance major and Student Life employee, believed it helped minimize the "hangout" crowd in the computer lab "Thestudents now go to LaHaye forsocializing," Barnes said, adding that the lab hadbecome more effectivefor studying and allowing theStudent Center tobefor recreation.

Students took advantage of the better facilities on Liberty Mountain by staying active in school activities and benefiting from the changes thatwould continue toprovide them with entertainment. a &S f^mm Ybawi

T h e 2004-2005 school year was one of monumental battles for Dr Jerry Falwell

Electing conservative political figures with strong Christian values had always been an important issue for the founder and Chancellor of Liberty University, but the Presidential elections in November seemed to be so crucial that Dr. Falwell decided to resurrect the Moral Majority to fight for godly, moral leaders. This evangelical association, founded originally in 1971, with the goal of encouraging Christians to become involved inpolitics, spoke outagainstissuessuch asabortion, stem cell research and other matters that were prevalent intheUnited States during the elections.

After George Bush defeated John Kerry in the election, Dr Falwell became more determined thanevertomake surethattheMoral Majority would continue to play a vital roll in electing conservative leaders inthe future

"Between now and 2008, we are going to be putting on state ballots family initiatives and controversial initiatives to awaken our people out to the polls," Dr. Falwell said in a FOXNews.com interview.

The most critical fight in Dr Falwell's year took Liberty University, Thomas Road Baptist Church and the nation by surprise. The normally energetic and healthy 71-year old was diagnosed with viral pneumonia, which resulted in a 13-day stay at Lynchburg General Hospital His condition caused himtomiss severalSunday morningservicessomething he had only done a handful of times in the 50 years of pastoring Thomas Road Baptist Church

He returned to a limited work schedule and appeared to be recovering when his breathing stopped on theway tohissecond hospital visitthat turned intoa nine daystay.

Dr Falwell's illnessspawned national media coverage and lefthischurch and school inconstant prayer for him to return to health. Well wishes were sent from allover,including a phone call from President Bush who sent hisbest wishes while Dr

Falwell was inthe hospital.

Every student knew that Wednesday convocation services were reserved for their Chancellor,butwhen hewasn't able tobethere, the entire student body took time outtogather in small groups across theVines Center andofferprayersup forthequick recovery oftheirbeloved leader.

"The Lord took care of me. It'sa miracle, and I'm very thankful to be alive,"Dr. Falwell told reporters after being released from hissecond stay atthe hospital.

Dr Falwell ended the school year still recovering physically and emotionally Many people could see Dr Falwell's wife, Macel, driving him around on campus,making sure he didn't work too hard or overdo it.For Dr. Falwell, taking a back seat wasn't an easy thing to do, but he stillplayed a crucial role in helping fulfillhisvision oftraining Christian leaders on the ever-growing campus of Liberty University Despite obstacles and illness, Dr Falwell was determined to fight the good fight to lead theway forhischurch andschool.

Dr.FalwellBattlesto Keep Up the Pace

Circle students were able to experience realjoys of college life.Racing around the circle in a car, playing sports on the intramural fields and random trips to the C-store for anything andeverything, marked the little things within Circle life thatbrought moments of fun Students ofall classificationslivedon thecircleastherewere threedifferentstyles of living: Dorm 33,the Quads and Main Campus Living.Tosome, the circle residents seemed almost like a clique, butfor the round-about residents,they considered themselves part of their own "innercircle".

Oliga Chitina had been attending college fortwo years inKishinev, Moldova when her American sponsor family supported her financially so she was able tocome to the United States tostudy graphic design.She wantedto find a Christian college,andfirstwent to Pensacola, but God then led herto Liberty University. Oliga recalled herfirstdays inAmerica saying, "When I came here I didn'tknow any English, butGod blessed me soI was abletolearn it ina few months!"

Oliga was a professional makeup artist and beauty consultant in Moldova. With herparents still unsaved, Oliga was genuinely thankfulfor her salvation. Oliga admitted itwashard toleave herfamily andher home in Moldova but added her zeal for the Lord kept her going."Iam soopen to God's lead,"she said, with her future goalsbeing upto the Lord todecide.

Through the clanging of a singlebellRichard Roe, better known as "The Cowbell Guy," managed to establish quite a name for himself during Liberty Flames Basketballgames

The Freshman cowbell artist memorably debuted with the Sweet Sixteenpep band duringa Men's basketballgame.When asked ofthe origin ofthecowbell, Roe recalledone particularpractice; "The drummer had one [acowbell]... I grabbed [it].. .they all thought it was funny,"explained Roe. Thus, the cowbell sensation was created. With the help of the cameramen, Roe's popularity grew and his cowbell moment was an anticipated attention-getter atevery game.Roe summed up the experience saying,"It's been cool I thought it was going togetold, but it's been really cool."

After living her entire life in Honolulu, Hawaii, Sophomore Alyssa Buted experienced an entirely differentculture when she arrived at Liberty.

"Everything about Hawaii and the main states is different: the food, the weather, the way people talk, so many things,"said Buted.

"I lovelivingina big family,"said Buted "Lifeis neverboring."

Besides her family, another one of Buted's passions was her lovefordancing.

"I started dancing hip-hop when I was 14 and have been teaching it ever since,"shesaid

Working towards her degree inbusiness management, Buted was holding on to the dream of one day opening her own dance studio toshare her love fordancing withothers.

Buted hoped thatheryearsspentatLiberty, combined with her lovefordancing,would aidher inimpacting the world for Christ.

Sophomore Eric Forcey was the kind ofguy who considered hisliferandom. "I consider myself random because of what Ilike to do. Ihave basic training this summer...random because Idon't like conformity I liketopaint,write poetry,and I have random friends,"said Forcey

Serving asa member oftheYoung Republicans, ROTC and studentsenator, Forcey ledan active W college lifestyle When a fellow student asked him if he wanted to go on a trip to Florida,Forcey was packed and inthecarinunder fortyminutes."It was themost spontaneous thingI've ever done,"he said.

Forcey maintained the fast pace with caffeine as his closest companion. "I have two coffee makers in my room and boom, boom, boom: they're firingoffleftand right."Forcey stated that socialactivities didn'taffecthisgrades it was ".. .thelack ofsleep resulting from them..." thatdid him in

Forcey lived hislife, as the expression goes,flyingby the seatof hispants saying,"Iam an example of how you can goof offand have fun without being bad."

Life on the East side was defined by both pride and community For some, it was one step closer toindependence. For others, Campus East was enjoyed because of the numerous amenities offered For most,Campus East brought that sense of community on a more intimate level Deeper relationships were more easily fostered within the perameters of the Campus East apartment-living style.Some Main Campus students thought of the East-siders as being spoiled with two person bedrooms and bathrooms, livingrooms and fullyequipped kitchens,but theCampus East residentsjustconsidered themselves blessed Campus East residents found the extra charge per semester to be worth the overall livingexperience even with the daily trek through mounds ofredclay underneath the highway

"Some people think we are crazy, others think we are living life. Ilike to think of the latter, but add the word abundantly tothat,"Paul Troth said about he and hiswife'sspeedy engagement and new marriage.

Troth, a Senior Broadcast Journalism major and quarterback at Liberty, left for Christmas break wearing hissignature navy baseball cap,with no suspicion he would be returning wearing a wedding ring. His new bride,Teresa Ann Troth, was an Education major at East Carolina University where Paul attended prior to his transfer to Liberty in the Spring of 2004

The newlyweds were forced to maintain a "long-distance" marriage, while they finished their spring semesters at separate schools. The couple spent Monday through Friday apart but took turns traveling toLynchburg or North Carolina forweekend visits.

Worst Part ofJob: Renaming Student Portraits

A s the year came to a close, a year unlike any other, we packed up our cars and our memories. The memories carried some of us through the summer and others into life beyond Liberty We maintained our status as Liberty students 24/ 7. A look back on the school year showed us what we were capable of as individuals and as a student body It was a year ofthe unexpected that tested us and brought us closer

together, proving that we were indeed a family. Through tragedies thatno one could have predicted, we exemplifiedpresenceofmind tounify asa studentbody and looked to God tobe our strength. Through victories we celebrated with each other and acknowledged that the glory was not our own. Reaching out to each other across the country and across the world, we made connections that spanned continents and would continue to extend through time.

What we left behind wasfafl outweighed by what we took will us: preparation for practical life! lessons on relationships and acaderrffl knowledge, but most important™ the assurance that we would alwajl be part of a place that affected 1 many of our lives and connectedus forever. That part of our identiij as Liberty students, carried on pal graduation, past summer breaks, and continue to be the thread thatwould run through each ofus,24/7.

If anything, this year taught us to expect the unexpected, but noone could have anticipated the sudden lossof20-year-old DanielDakum on April30,2005. Dakum, a native Nigerian, went home to bewith the Lord dueto unknown complications at Lynchburg General Hospital. Dakum was known for impacting people in his life, but his death brought together people of allraces,ages, languages andcountries

Dakum was loved by everyone who knew him. His roommate, Conrado Luna, recalled, "We will always remember Daniel for that great spirit in every single thing he did."A missions-minded individual with aheart forthose who needed tohear the Word, Dakum was working with the Campus Pastors Office tocoordinate missions tripswith a group he helped to starton campus the Association of Students ofAfrican Descent (ASAD).

Dakum left behind his parents andthree younger brothers,one ofwhich was alsoastudent atLiberty ASAD decided tohonor Dakum by setting up the Daniel Dakum Memorial Scholarship. Thescholarship was established to honor students who achieved well academically,had aheart for missions and a passion forathletics Although Daniel Dakum would not return, his memory still lived on in the lives ofhisfriendsand family. index ODD D 207
