"Obvously I'm n total support of the Presdent's actons," Falwell sad. "Up untl yesterday (Jan. 16, the day of the attack), he (Bush) has been very restraned and has made sure that every passve form of negotatons had been exercsed. He ddn't attack untl the Unted Natons, Congress and the Amercan people were clearly behnd hm." Had the Unted Slates let the Jan. 15 deadlne pass wthout takng mltary acton, Amerca's reputaton would have suffered greatly Falwell sad. "If he (Bush) had not attacked quckly, Amercan credblty would have been serously damaged. No one would have beleved us anymore," Falwell sad. Falwell, who has establshed a well-documented, personal frendshp wth Bush that began durng Falwell's Moral Majorty days, acknowledged that the presdent has spent several hours n prayer snce the begnnng of the Persan Gulf Crss sx months ago. 1 ti I* Rob Schuster and Ron Huff, The Cncnnat Enqurer Bond verdct reversed By DOUGLAS R.

II Cornthans 3:17 Tuesday, 3 Jan. 22,1991 LU Forum Hammer headlne takes back seat to personal spats Edtor, U. S. troops need support, prayers of all Amercans After several months of straned tensons, the fne wre has fnally broken and war has been hand-delvered to the Mddle East. Mllons support the war as a "just" cause. Daly thousands demonstrate aganst t as the outrageous attempt of a money-grubbng naton to sacrfce ts young men to guarantee an ample supply of cheap ol. And, unfortunately, as ncredulous as t may seem, there exsts a porton of the populaton whch opts to gnore the stuaton altogether. The next weeks wll see an onslaught of red-faced warmongers callng for more death and destructon and bleedng hearts weepng about deaths whch may never come or screamng about njustces whch don't even drectly affect them. Armchar warrors wll ease themselves out of ther squeaky La-Z-Boys n order to choose sdes. And amd all of ms turmol and the petty arguments concernng a stuaton over whch none of us has control, the men and women of our armed forces wll often become lost and forgotten. The true ssue at hand, then, should be channelng our energes nto demonstratng a concern and support for those men and women who are actually dong the kllng, the bleedng and the dyng rather than argung about the moralty of the war tself. After all, none of our servcemen or women asked to be shpped off to a desert on the backsde of nowhere. None of them asked to lve n the subhuman condtons they have endured durng the past fve months. They are performng the job whch they have been nstructed to perform. The most obvous symbol of troop support s the yellowrbbon whch seems to bepoppng up everywhere. Many local busnesses (.e. Leggett and Daybreak Restaurant) are dstrbutng yellow rbbons, free of charge, to any members of the publc who want them. Theserbbonscan be secured to front doors, placed n wndows, attached to car antennas or placed bascally anywhere where they wll serve as a beacon of the publc's support of the troops, even f not the war tself. Another easy way to demonstrate support for the U.S. troops n the Mddle East s for motorsts to drve wth ther headlghts on durng the day. A smple gesture? Perhaps. But even ths small acton can serve as a constant remnder of those who are servng and rskng ther lves n the Mddle East We don't need to agree wth what our troops are dong n order to support the fact that they are dong t. Dsplayng the Amercan flag s another way to show that we back the troops. Fnally, the Champon staff has desgned an emblem whch can be cut out and placed n a car or dorm wndow as a remnder that Lberty remembers the Amercans who are currently or may soon be servng n the Gulf (See the bottom of page 3). As all the exctement and hype des down and the Gulf War drags on nto monotonous drudgery, our troops wll have lttle to buld ther morale other than the knowledge and belef that there s, somewhere, a naton and homeland whch loves them and wll not blame them for the actons whch they must take and the deeds of war whch they must commt. Those of us who have been glued to our televson sets durng the past week may soontreof relgously followng every new development. How much sooner wll our troops tre of lvng close to death n the Saud Araban desert? We can smply change the channel or turn the set off, but they cannot just pack up and come home. Although some of us may beleve n the war and others thnk t s deplorable, let us celebrate our men and women and ther courage and assure them that ther naton s watng and prayng for them to come home.

Shannan Badskey; Goshen, Ind. Steve Green; Baltmore "We need to keep our troops there to protect Kuwat from Saddam Hussen." "Short term wll unfy publc opnon of Bush and help lessen the effect of the recesson." Jon Goodwn; Memphs, Tenn.

"It's showng that people don't want Saddam there and are backng us up." "Ol prces should go down." I hate to be the next one to swng at the dead horse (the use of secular lyrcs from M. C. Hammer's song "Pray" as a headlne n the Lberty Champon), but the arguments are now between fellow students and the orgnal ssue s fast becomng secondary. One student n her letter made many strong ponts n her opposton to the headlne. True, ths nsttuton does not condone secular musc and ths makes t a double standard to use secular lyrcs. It s also a contradcton to have the headlne n queston on the same page as an artcle for Chrstan muscan, Km Hll. Furthermore, the rebuttals carred weght as well. I'll agree that the reference to the rock group Heart was totally unrelated to the argument whch the wrter was makng. Also, the letter could have been more dstnct n ts use of Scrptures, and fewer generalzatons about the newspaper staff members beng backsldden could have been used as well. I strongly agree that the wrter should not have judged the staff of the paper "lest she be judged." And, true, there are more pressng ssues n Chrstanty than the headlne of a college newspaper. However, as I read along patently, I repeatedly came across comments such as "get your facts suaght" and "use your bran" whch were ncluded n the letters whch defended the use of the headlne. Yet why, just after accusng someone else of not usng facts, were nether wrters able to present readers wth more facts than accusatons? The motve of the headlne seems to be what s under examnaton. Yet, no matter how sncere the motve, the use of lyrcs from a secular song M demeans the artcle's purpose whch was to remnd us of the mportance of prayer. Instead, the focus of prayer was shared wth M. C. Hammer. Was ths the purpose behnd the use of the headlne? Fnally, I ask you, the edtor, why nclude a headlne n the Champon that s gong to str up controversy the way ths one dd? We could accuse all those who have wrtten letters to the edtor, ncludng myself, for contnually beatng a dead horse, but the truth s, the use of a smple headlne about the necessty of prayer would have sparked vrtually no controversy and avoded all of ths to begn wth. My advce to you for the future s that when you can satsfy everyone, please do so, rather than succeedng n offendng some. Oh, by the way, "Close, but no cgar?" Gluttons for punshment, aren't you?

Tuesday, Jan. 22,1991 The Lberty Champon, Page 3 Invason spawns legtmacy debate After all of the watng, all of the speculatng and all of the talkng, the nevtable consequence of the U.S. presence n the Mddle East has been realzed. War has begun. Before t s all over, ths act of nterventonsm on the part of Amerca wll be pad for wth our dearest blood. Throughout the entre ordeal, however, one smple queston screams for an answer. Why? Why are we so eager for war? Why do we have hundreds of thousands of troops statoned n a desert on the other sde of the world? Is there any logc or reason to the madness that has grpped the nternatonal communty and, more drectly, Washngton, D.C.? The clche 1 answer to these questons s that we are fghtng to stop the mad ravagngs of a lunatc. We arefghtngto stop Saddam Hussen. But ths pat answer smply leads us to another queston: stop hm from what? Surely a man who fought eght years aganst a decmated Iran and only managed a draw cannot be consdered a serous threat to our own natonal securty. Even f he were to take Saud Araba (an event whch s hghly unlkely), t s mplausble to thnk that Hussen's mltary could stretch across the ocean to the Unted States. The crss n the gulf s a squabble wthn the Araban communty. At one tme the troublemaker was Iran, then Lbya, and now t s Iraq. But Araban dctators have a long track record of bg talk that lacks the mght to back up ther empty boasts of power. Hussen s no dfferent. Once we dspose of hm, someone else wll rse up and spew forth ant- Amercan/ant-freedom rhetorc. If we keep knockng off Araban dctators untl wefndone we lke, we wll be fghtng forever. Some have sad that Hussen s dangerously close to controllng a major share of the world'sol supply. That, they argue, could translate nto a hardshp for the Amercan consumer as gas prces would surely skyrocket. But even wth control over Saud Araba, Hussen would only control 46 percent of the world's ol. That may seem lke a lot, but t sn' t enough for hm to dctate the prce. Let's suppose Hussen decdes to rase the prce of ol. What happens? Smple. We buy more ol from other natons. Not even the mghty OPEC allance of the '70s could reach a consensus on the prce of ol. Certanly no bratty dctator wll be able to do t. Ether way, s cheap ol worth fght- DOUGLAS R. DEMPSEY Campus News Edtor : : : : : :,I^B : : : :-: Counterp ng for? Few people thnk so now; even fewer wll thnk so when the frst wave of Amercan bodes begns to wash ashore. Make no mstake about t. There wll be Amercan casualtes n ths war. Don't be fooled by the apparent ease of the early stages of the war. Iraq wll strke back, and when t does, t wll ht hard. That sn't to say Iraq mght trumph. It won't. Hussen s facng the most powerful mltary allance ever assembled. But how many lves are we wllng to sacrfce for a vctory that wll reap so few benefts for us? What about democracy? Hasn't that always been an deal worth fghtng and dyng for? Yes. But Kuwat has never been a democratc naton. Essentally, we are denouncng one form of dctatorshp n defense of another. Kuwat s not an oass of democracy nor s t our frend. The Arabs, whether they be Iranans, Sauds, or Iraqs, hate the Unted States. They tolerate us only when we serve ther purposes. If we werefghtngfor somethng as glorfed as democracy, then why are we not standng up to Mkhal Gorbachev and hs Sovet war machne? The evl empre has thundered nto Lthuana and has crushed the sprt of democracy that was just begnnng to bloom. Lthuanans have been brutalzed and murdered n ther fght for democracy. The bloody carnage of the Sovet nvason s more of an affront to democracy than Hussen wll ever be, and yet not one U.S. troop has been sent to help the Lthuanans. In fact, just last week the U.S. gave Gorbachev nearly one bllon dollars worth of gran. The ssue, clearly, s not one of democracy. War advocates argue that the ssue s more complex than just cheap ol. But no matter how you examne the ssue, t comes back to economcs. We arefghtngand dyng for ol. One last pont: Let's all remember to support the troops regardless of our vews on the stuaton. It s not the solders' decson to be n Saud Araba. They do what they are told to do. So save all the protestng, all the angry words, and all the shattered lves for the men n Washngton whose lust for ol has led us nto an abyss of volence and death. ont CURTW. OLSON News Edtor & The deadlne for Saddam "Who's So Insane" Hussen has passed. He made hs move on the Persan Gulf chess board many months ago and thus challenged the Unted States and ts Unted Natons alles. A Gulf war s the nevtable outcome. In the days precedng the Jan. 15 U.N. deadlne, Amercans saw the ant-war crusade reach a pre-combat hgh. Amd the debate on whether or not to go to war n the Persan Gulf, however, numerous facts have been gnored that seem to provde evdence aganst the U.S. presence n Saud Araba. Contrary to popular belef, we are not fghtng for a democracy because Kuwat s not a democracy. Kuwat s governed by a large famly that ganed control hundreds of years ago. So the Unted States s not fghtng for the Amercan way of lfe. Also, the harshest realty of all s de fact mat the West aded therseof Hussen. Durng me Iran-Iraq war, the Unted States and others n the NATO allance aded Iraq fnancally. In recent years de ndependent-thnkng French have been strategc n gvng Iraq de ablty to produce nuclear weapons. However, de French are not the sole gulty party because the Unted States and oders played vtal roles as well. To add nsult to njury, as early as June 1990, ntellgence reports provded evdence mat Saddam Hussen would attack a country. The Unted States went so far as to say dat t would not get nvolved n Iraq's border dsputes. Tell mat to Saddam Hussen now. However, we should forgve me U.S. government for dese honest mstakes because me case for fghtng s qute compellng. The frst reason s the solatonst vs. nterventonst dlemma. Many people, manly conservatves, have stated that Amerca must look out for tself. They say that de currenteconomc problems combned wd me federal budget woes and ssues lke crme, drugs and educa- Uon are reasons enough for de Unted States to stay away from the confrontauon n the Mddle East. "Amerca must focus on home," dey say. Snce George Bush does not take de solatonst poston, he had to ntervene n me crss because Saud Araba s a longtme U.S. ally 1 among the Arab natons. On Aug. 2 Iraq swftly manhandled Kuwat and was well on ts way to nvadng the Sauds when Bush responded wth U.S. troop deployments. Had Bush not responded when he dd, Saud Kng Fadh would have been on de telephone tellng Bush to get hs troops on the Saud northeastern doorstep to Kuwat ASAP! Another reason the Unted States must fght Iraq s because of ts dependence on foregn ol. The reason people are cryng, "Our boys can't de over de prce of ol," s smply because Amerca has neglected to develop ts own resources. A major contrbutor to ths falure s de acdve envronmental lobby n the Unted States mat has succeeded on every attempt to stop de drllng of ol n Alaska and offshore n de Gulf of Mexco, de Adantc Ocean and de Pacfc Ocean. Fnally, de most compellng reason for fghtng a Gulf war s smply to uphold the prncple mat a larger country, anywhere n the world, cannot march nto another smaller country, rape t of ts government and wealth and den murder ts people. Because of ths, the Unted States cannot negotate wd Hussen because any negotaton would undoubtedly provde a compromse and not only would me Unted States lose, but Israel would lose as well. To allow Saddam Hussen to gan a vctory n any way would send a dangerous message. The message would be mat takng over any country and lterally rapng t wll be rewarded f you hold out to get what you want That s a dangerous precedent whch would be bat for any future dctator anywhere n de world. The majorty of us have frends and some even have famly who are now n Saud Araba. Ths s a rallyng call for Amerca. The U.S. troops need de support of the Amercan publc. Pray for our Presdent Pray for our troops and trust that Almghty God wll allow ths war to end as soon as It's Laughable Holday debrs creates need for redecoraton Congratulatons, everyone! You have just successfully entered de messest porton of the school year. Yes, t s tme to clean up all de Yuletde decoratons and varous sundry paraph renal a and get on wd your lfe. You are probably not alone n your complant about the endless leftover Chrstmas junk lttered across your dorm room floor. In fact, I'm sure your roommates are not any more apprecatve of havng to step over the fve pars of thermal underwear so gracously bestowed upon you by holday wellwshers man you are. Of course, there are several ways to correct ms malady: Thefrsts smply to shoot your roommates. (However, ths wll only ncrease the mess n de long run and s, therefore, not a preferable soluton.) The second resolve s to wear all fve pars of underwear at once to get them out of de way. Fnally, you could call Governor Wlder and have your room declared a dsaster area. Wd de emergency funds dat you receve you can pay Off your school bll, get an apartment and start anew. Snce there s a possblty for a few mnor techncaltes to creep up whle you follow these suggestons, why not do t the easy way and just use de gfts as nteror decoraton for the place. All you have to do s take a look around campus to get a few good deas. Perhaps you could hre some of the talented artsts who decorated the lbrary to do de same for your room. You almost can't mss wth ths one snce meltng skulls w d holes ntemarethe "n" tlng TIMOTHY HOLLINGSWORTH Staff Columnst ths season. Now I realze that many of you prefer tradtonal, quant country charm to de abstract lnes of modern art Well, that'sfnetoo. There are a few ways to gve your dorm de ambence of a humble cabn n de woods. Frst and defntely the most mportant s to mount on your wall the head of de deer that you klled durng the Chrstmas break. Old deer horns are OK too, but t takes two sets of horns to equal one good deer head. Secondly, you can purchase two wagon wheels to lne your doorway. Then gun racks should be placed n varous strategc postons around de room n order to properly dsplay your favorte Bamb blasters. Wd all of ths surrounded by de walls papered wd all of de rbbons you won at your favorte tractor pulls, how can you possbly go wrong? Another popular opton for ths part of the country s de Southern tacky look. The staples of ms theme nclude black velvet portrats of Elvs; lttle yellow, red and blue wndmlls; red, gngham-plad curtans and plenty of ceramc farm anmals. The supples are endless, so f you have de room, make certan dat you don't forget de plastc pnk flamngos and whte washed-tre flowerpots. They'll do y'all proud every tme!

Page 4, The Lberty Champon feature What's n a name? Ttle s matter of personal preference By DIANE HOFSESS USA Today Wre Servce Lke Prnce, Madonna and Cher, Saddam Hussen prefers to be known by hs frst name. And that's one reason why many reporters refer to the Iraq presdent as Saddam, rather than usng hs last name, Tom Kent, news edtor of the world servces dvson of The Assocated Press n New York, sad. "Our style s to refer to hm as Saddam, because that's the way he refers to hmself, and the Iraq news meda refers to hm by hs frst name," Kent explaned. "People are enttled to be known by the name they choose." Part of the reason for Saddam's preference s that Saddam s more dstnctve than Hussen, Juan Cole, assocate professor of modern Mddle Eastern hstory at the Unversty of Mchgan, sad. "A great number of people (n the Arab world) are called Hussen," Cole sad. Beyond that, Ron Stockton, professor of poltcal scence at the Unversty of Mchgan-Dearborn sad: "It's just a custom n the Mddle East that you often get called by your frst name. It's just common usage." The name Saddam means "one who confronts." Hussen was the frst name of hs father, who ded before he was bom. Actually, Saddam's full name s Saddam Hussen Al-Tkru, Cole sad. "In fact many of the hgh offcals of Gulf war contradcts belefs, ctzenshp of U.S. Moslems By RHONDA GRAHAM USA Today Wre Servce They served n Korea. Some served n Vetnam, although less wllngly. But Operaton Desert Storm rases relgous dlemmas not obvous n prevous wars for U.S. resdents who share the same Islamc fath as Iraq Arabs. "We're gettng a number of calls from people who are Moslems. They are sayng, 'I don't want to go over there' and 'I wll notfghtaganst my people,'" Davd Treber of the Natonal Interrelgous Servce Board of Conscentous Objectors reported. Moslems wth pror mltary servce, specfcally combat duty, wll fnd t dffcult to get conscentous objector status. The government does not allow personnel to pck whch war s objectonable. "For some Moslems, there s such a thng as an acceptable war and for other Moslems there s not," Harold Jordan, mltary counselor for thequakers sad. Jordan has been workng wth three Fort Campbell, Ky., Moslems. All have fled for conscentous objector status on relgous grounds. "They are all people who tred to apply before they left and were told that they could not They are serously Moslem, they pray, they follow the prescrbed relgous det," Jordan sad. Jordan knows of 38 smlar cases. Complants flterng back from the Persan Gulf nclude clams that some U.S. Moslem solders are gven frontlne duty at the Saud-Kuwat border, and those who have fled for conscentous objector status have ther weapons taken away but reman statoned n potental combat zones, Jordan sad. Long-establshed Islamc belefs state that Moslems should not be the aggressor n any conflct. "The major concern s to be on the sde of rght, to be on the sde of justce, for a Moslem. And f there s a Moslem aggressor, then a Moslem wll not hestate to fght that aggressor even f t's a Moslem," Egyptan-bom Yaha 0. Hashem explaned. "There are many dmensons to ths ssue, not only the relgous aspect, but farness and justce, and also the practcal aspect of gettng a peaceful soluton to ths problem," Hashem sad. the government of Iraq are cousns or clansmen of Saddam Hussen and are members of the Al-Tkrt clan. "It's a last name that ndcates where you're from. He (Saddam) dscourages the use of last names that show where you're from precsely because f that were done, t would become obvous how domnated the government there s by the Tkrt clan." Another reason for the frst-name reference to Saddam Hussen s to avod confuson wth Kng Hussen of Jordan, Kent reported. Saddam Hussen s the troublemaker under attack because hs naton nvaded Kuwat. He presdes over an enormous pool of ol and s often compared to Htler.

Tuesday, Jan. 22,1991 news Coyote caper not part of satanc rtual By BEN LaFROMBOIS Champon Reporter Twelve coyote carcasses left to decay on Lberty Mountan by the Lberty Unversty Bology Department were found Saturday, Jan. 11, causng Lynchburg cty offcals to speculate that they were the result of satanc cult actvty or the work of a deranged ndvdual. The carcasses were dscovered n a secluded area by someone who was four-wheelng. "We never expected anyone to come across them," Dr. Paul Sattler, charman of the bology department, sad. Much of the speculaton was due to the condton of the carcasses and ther supposed arrangement. The anmals had been sknned and ther heads removed for the skulls, Sattler explaned. "We also removed the stomachs for det analyss," he added. The Lynchburg News & Daly Advance reported that the hearts and paws had also been removed from the anmals. Sattler explaned that paws from three or four of the coyotes had been removed from the anmals before Lberty receved them n November from the Vrgna Department of Game and Inland Fsheres. "We ddn't take thcpawsoff.and the hearts were not removed," Sattler sad. The arrangement of the anmals caused nvestgators to thnk that the coyotes had been "hand-carred nto the woods wth some knd of unformty. There was some knd of patten, not n a rtualstc sense, (but) they all had a pattern n the way they were lad out," polce Cmdr. R. J. Morrson sad, accordng to the News & Daly Advance. "There was no pattern n the dstr- buton. They were spread out so natural decomposton would take place," Sattler sad. "We wanted the bones avalable f they were needed. We wanted to reconstruct one of the anmals." The carcasses are no longer avalable to the bology department. 'They were probably bured n the landfll when they "Ths was publcty we were removed were not seekng. Just Sunday," Sattler because we are Lberty a speculated. lot more attenton was pad to us." Dr. Paul Sattler Bond- The carcasses were not a health rsk, and Lberty was not n volaton of any laws. "If any law was broken, t probably was trespassng," Sattler sad after talkng to authortes. The carcasses were receved from Vrgna's coyote control program as a donaton to the LU Museum of Natural Hstory, Sattler reported. The coyotes were processed durng late December and early January. The bology department only needed certan parts of the coyotes for the museum. "Skns and skulls are prmarly what we took from the coyotes for the museum," Sattler sad. The story drew attenton from papers hundreds of mles away and from Natonal Publc Rado. "Ths was publcty we were not seekng. Just because we're Lberty a lot more attenton was pad to us," Sattler sad. The conclusons of the polce and the meda surprsed Sattler. "There was a tremendous amount of speculaton. The mplcaton that Lberty students could even be nvolved shows that people do not know about our school and what we stand for," SatUer sad. "Our students would not be nvolved. The general mpresson was that t was some outsde group," he explaned. Lberty People were delayed by a traffc accdent nvolvng a Honda Accord (pctured) drven by Ludwg Brown and a Plymouth Sundance drven by LU student Carla Thomas. Brown attempted to turn nto the Vstor's Center and struck Thomas's Sundance. Nether drver was njured n the accdent. photo by Jeffrey A. Co.. Champon, Page 5 School spokesman addresses ssues By DOUGLAS R. DEMPSEY Campus News Edtor Even though the Vrgna Supreme Court's decson to deny Lberty taxfree bonds wll probably cost the school $2 mllon a year n nterest, no more budget cuts are planned, Mark DeMoss,spokesman for LU and the Rev. Jerry Falwell, sad n an ntervew Frday. "It s never safe to say there wll be no more cuts," DeMoss sad, "but we are pleased wth the progress over the last two years n cost reducton. So I can say there wll probably be no more cuts." DeMoss sad the unversty s now operatng "n the black." However, that does not mean there s any extra money to be spent. "We are operatng n the black from the standpont that revenue exceeds expendtures. But all excess revenue s gong to debt payments. So I don't want to gve anybody a false sense of securty." DeMoss also talked about the new cafetera, whch was supposed to be opened n tme for the sprng semester. The projected completon date s now August, DeMoss sad. "The cafetera wll be fnshed sooner than t can be occuped," DeMoss sad. Because so much of the equpment from the current cafetera wll be used n me new cafetera, the school must wat untl the summer to make de converson. Otherwse, DeMoss sad, the converson may not be fnshed n tme and the unversty would have no means of supplyng meals to de students. "Dr. Falwell had hoped t (the converson) could be done over sprng break," DeMoss sad. "But mat was an overly optmstc thought." Campus safety was also dscussed durng me ntervew. When asked about rumors of women beng raped on the LU campus, DeMoss sad he had not heard anythng defnte on the subject. "I don'tknow of any mat have been confrmed," DeMoss sad. "There have probably been attacks, but not necessarly rapes." See DeMoss, Page 6 Cty councl accepts Kng memoral proposal By DOUGLAS R. DEMPSEY Campus News Edtor The Lynchburg Cty Councl voted unanmously to accept the recommendatons of a specal commttee regardng a proposed memoral to Dr. Martn Luther Kng Jr., but the result of the vote was unclear. The commttee recommended that a Martn Luther Kng Jr. educatonal center be establshed n me readng room of me Lynchburg Publc Lbrary. The commttee left the detals of me memoral to be decded by the councl or by a separate commttee establshed by the councl. After me vote there was stll confuson as to Contnued from Page 1 process," DeMoss sad. DeMoss sad he dd not expect the addtonal cost of the taxable bonds, estmated to be approxmately $2 mllon a year, to be a major obstacle for de unversty. "We can afford t as long as there are no dramatc changes n the current structure (of me bond ssue)," he sad. In denyng me bond request, the court sad Lberty Unversty's reputaton as a Chrstan unversty, ncludng ts mandatory chapel and church requrements, made t nelgble for the tax-free bpnds. DeMoss dsagreed wth the court's reasonng and ts nterpretaton of de Frst Amendment. "The separaton of church and state s a phrase that gets tossed around a lot, but most people have trouble explanng what t means," DeMoss sad. He sad that the lower court had decded mat the tax-free bonds were not state ad, a pont reversed by me Supreme Court. "We take ssue wth the hgh court n all matters (n regards to the bond ssue)," DeMoss added. The decson not to appeal the rulng to me U.S. Supreme Court was made because of fnancal reasons, DeMoss sad. "The costs assocated wth these endeavors (pursung de tax-free bonds) have been mmense," he sad. "These costs nclude not only drect legal costs but also the costs of not yet havng refnanced our debt as we were prepared to do one year ago." "We contnue to beleve mat the prmary prncple at stake n ms case s one worth fghtng for," Demoss sad. "However, we have fought alone for over one year now, losng valuabletme,energy and resources." what would happen next. Some councl members felt the councl had voted to proceed wth the memoral, whle others felt they were smply acceptng the report of the Cvl Rghts Commttee. Counclman Steve Newman sad he dd not thnk me vote equalled an offcal endorsement of me proposed memoral. "If I had thought n any way that ths vote was an endorsement, I would have had a real problem votng n favor of t," Newman sad. Counclman Julan Adams also voced concern about the proposed memoral. "The publc lbrary should not be a place where specfc ponts of DeMoss sad t would have helped LU f other evangelcal nsttutons, whch would have benefted from a Lberty vctory n the case, had offered more help. "I don't want to say I'm dsapponted (about de lack of assstance), but t would have been nce," me spokesman sad. "In me future countless schools could have benefted from ths stuaton." "Relgous dscrmnaton as endorsed by the Vrgna Supreme Court n ms case can hardly be consdered a vctory for anybody," DeMoss concluded. vew are placed as superor to others," Adams sad. "If we set asde a part of the lbrary to honor Kng,tenwhat about all me oter people who deserve honor?" The commttee also recommended that $2,500 per year be set asde to establsh and mantan de memoral. Adams sad he ddn't feel such a monetary commtment was approprate. "I don't thnk t s approprate to earmark partcular funds for any one person or nterest. I beleve the approprate cty fundng for ths project would be zero (dollars)," Adams sad. Vce mayor Pat Lovern dsagreed wth Adams. "Once t becomes realty, t (the memoral) wll be an mportant part of me lbrary," Lovern sad. The educatonal center s just one of several deas the commttee had consdered. The others ncluded renamng Ffth Street n downtown Lynchburg, renamng me publc lbrary n honor of Kng, and creatng a travelng exhbt to educate people about Kng and other cvlrghtsleaders. The plan for the educaton center, however, receved de most support from the commttee. mage TANNING SALON Back to School Specal!

Keaggy, who started hs musc career n the late 1960s, has performed wth such rock musc eltes as Chcago, Iron Butterfly, Yes and Glass Heart. Though he has been assocated wth these well-known groups, Keaggy's talents have been showcased by hs solo career n contemporary Chrstan musc, where he has found a loyal followng. Keaggy's ntroducton to Chrstanty came upon the tragc death of hs mother. Her death forced hm to reflect on hs rock-and-roll lfestyle, and, ultmately, he left the group Glass Heart. Keaggy s wdely known for hs acoustc-gutar playng. But as Keaggy sad. "You couldn't say I'm classcal or jazz, or that I'm country or folk, or even that I'm a rock gutarst, but as a dedcated muscan, I desre to mprove and become more creatve as tme goes on." Ths creatvty was most recently dsplayed on the album "Sunday's Chld." The album bult ts artstc premse on the sound of the '60s: old gutars, old amps and a feelng of camaradere. The entre album was produced lve n a musc studo, as opposed to sound tracks and vocal tracks beng recorded separately and then mxed. The album brought a Beatles-lke style to Chrstan musc whch t had not prevously wtnessed. The album not only receved crtcal acclam, but t attracted crowds across the country as Keaggy toured wth Chrstan muscan Randy Stonehll. Stonehll, along wth Chrstan solo artst Russ Taff and bass gutarst Rck Cua, aded n the recordng of the album as well. Keaggy's newest album, "Fnd Me In These Felds" was bult on the artstc premses of "Sunday's Chld." Keaggy, though wantng to be more creatve, conceved a message on the album straght from hs heart. "Ths record was bom out of my hunger for heaven and part of what I wanted to say s that you may feel fear or gult, a loss of nnocence or even a loss of purpose, but there s a refuge for us wth our Lord," he explaned. Other Keaggy albums nclude "What A Day," "Love Broke Through," "Emergng," "Gettng Closer" and "Way Back Home." The cost for the concert s $5 for general admsson seatng and $7 for reserved.

^ ^ ^ Tuesday, Jan.22 1991 Flames Feedback Marvn Ham left Record does not ndcate true talent of 2-14 Flames I guess by now you've probably heard that the Lberty men's basketball team snapped ts nne-game losng streak. It's true. The Flames beat Eastern Mennonte Saturday nght n the Vnes Center, 70-63, to mprove ther record to 2-14. On the same note, you've also probably heard certan pessmsts say that ths year's squad couldn't wn a pckup game aganst an ntramural team. But here's somethng that you probably have not heard: Ths year's team has more raw talent than any of the LU teams I've ever seen n myfveyears at Lberty. In a team domnated by underclassmen, Lberty could be a perennal power n year or two. Its true! Hear me out! If you've seen the Flames play ths year, you'd recognze that the players have shown a few flashes of brllance, but they have a lot of maturng to do. But the good news s that tme s somethng the Flames have on ther sde. There sn't even one senor on the team, and there's only one junor (Mke Coleman) who gets substantal playng tme. Of course you know about Coleman: the hardworkng 6-foot-7-nch center who s averagng 16 ponts per game (a 62 percent feld goal percentage) as well as 11 rebounds per game. Coleman's feld goal percentage and rebounds are good enough to rank hm second among all players on ndependent teams. But other than Coleman, who else do the Flames have that can shoot the lghts out? The obvous answer s Julus Nwosu, a 6-foot- 10-nch sophomore forward from Ngera. Nwosu s n hs nfancy'as far as learnng the game of basket ball. Already ths year, he has trpled the number of games that he has played not only durng hs career, but hs durng entre lfe. He has made great strdes ths year, and he's not afrad to dunk the ball n heavy traffc. Can any other past or present Flame boast ths? I'veeven heard one coach forecast hm as an NBA prospect f hs sklls contnue to develop. Nwosu, n less than a year of play, s averagng 11 ponts and sx rebounds a game. He's also quckly developng a turnaround jumper. Under the watchful eye of Coleman, Nwosu should develop the needed sklls to gve Lberty one of the most promsng tandems of bg men n all of Dvson 1-AA. So why aren't the Flames wnnng more games? The man reason s that they have a freshman-domnated backcourt. Matthew Hldebrand, Chrs Toomer, Jeff Bloom and Brett Anthony are the fearless freshman foursome. However, when compared to the average freshman player, all four have shown great ablty. Hldebrand s the man at the pont. He averages nearly eght ponts and sx asssts per game. He has decent ball-handlng sklls and can shoot the long jumper. Toomer s the shootng guard. Heonly averages sx ponts per game but makes up for t wth hs tenacous defense. He plays wth a lot of emoton and when he's on, he's hard to slop. Bloom s the one who s hard to descrbe. He doesn't excel n any partcular category, but he s sold n all facets of the game. He averages sx ponts, three rebounds and three asssts per game as well as a team-leadng 1.5 steals per game. Although he's lsted as a forward, he's not afrad to shoot the trey. Anthony s usually thefrstman off the bench. He too s not flashy, but nstead he's the most physcal of the freshman guards. The man problem for ths fearlessfreshmenfoursome s turnovers, whch s an aspect of the game that s conquered only by experence. Currently, the four contrbute to make up 48 percent of the team's turnovers. That s a number that See Hamlett, Page f Flames wn aganst Dvson 3 EMC, snap losng streak By MARVIN HAMLETT Champon Reporter The Lberty men's basketball team snapped a nne-game losng streak Saturday nght wth an unmpressve 70-63 home vctory over Dvson 3 Eastern Mennonte. The Flames, 2-14, placed four men n doublefguresncludng freshman guards Matthew Hldebrand (19 ponts) and Chrs Toomer (12 ponts), sophomore forward J ul us Nwosu (11 ponts) and junor center Mke Coleman who had a sold 18-pont, 13- rebound performance. 'Ths was a bg wn," Coleman sad. 'The more games we go, the more team unty we have." After battlng to a 36-34 halftme advantage, the Flames had thersghts set on comng out strong n the second half. Toomer began the half by knockng down a three-ponter for a 39-34 lead. But LU's man-to-man defense could not contan the Royals guard tandem of Rodney Shelds (18 ponts, 10 asssts) and Gary Chupp (game-hgh 26 ponts, eght rebounds). "Defensvely, we gambled a lttle bt, and Eastern Mennonte played wth a sports lot of pose," Flames coach Jeff Meyer sad. Lberty's bggest lead of the game was 53-44 wth 12:48 remanng n the game. But LU, whch docsn'thave a senor on ts squad, watched Chupp score eght of the game's next 10 ponts wth a layup sandwched by two three-ponters, cuttng the LU lead to 55-52 wth 9:47 left n the game. The teams traded baskets durng the next fve mnutes. LU stll led 61-58 wth four mnutesremanng.then sophomore forward Danny Pratt (four blocks) gnted a 6-1 LU run wth a one-handed dunk. Toomer capped the run wth a spectacular offbalance 10-footer wth 21 seconds left as he was hammered by Eastern Mennonte'sMkeSommers. Toomer mssed the free throw, but hs feld goal gave LU a 67-59 lead whch proved to be nsurmountable. "Down the stretch we had some bg shots to get us over the top," Meyer sad. "Danny Pratt really gave us a lft, and Malt (Hldebrand) ht some clutch shots." Lberty began the game wth a 7-0 run wth two nsde shots by Coleman Growna Pans Page 7, The Lberty Champon Flames freshman guard Chrs Toomer covered Eastern Mennonte's Rodney Shelds lke a blanket n last Saturday's wn over the Royals, 70-63 n the Vnes Center. photo by Jeffrey A Cote and Nwosu and a 22-footer by Hldebrand. But the Royals, 4-8, kept chppng away untl Chupp naled a trey to te the game at 21. Chupp followed wth another three-ponter to gve the Royals ther frst lead of the game, 24-21, wth 7:38 remanng n the frst half. But LU responded wth two Pratt feld goals and two Coleman baskets Youth, nexperence plague Meyer, team By KEVIN M. BLOYE Edtor The begnnng of the 1990-91 Lberty basketball season was supposed to be the begnnng of a new era for a program whch had struggled every year snce ts nducton nto the Dvson 1 ranks n 1988. Ths season possessed the freshness and nnocence of a newborn baby. There was a new state-of-the-art, domed basketball arena. There was the ntroducton of a 6- foot-10-nch Ngeran center whom many had labeled the "franchse." There were eght new faces and a fresh "just-glad-to-be-here" atttude to accompany them. There were no unpleasant memores of the past two seasons. Sxteen games nto the season, however, t s evdent that one aspect of the programremansntact: losng. Saturday's narrow vctory over Dvson 3 Eastern Mennonte gave the Flames only ther second wn of the season wth both wns comng at home aganst Dvson 3 opponents. Before the begnnng of the sprng semester, Lberty endured a gruelng eght-game holday road up from whch they came home empty n the wn column. The cruel realty of bgtme college basketball has ht the freshmen-domnated team quckly, and loth-year Lberty head coach Jeff Meyer faces hs bggest coachng challenge to date: mantanng an optmstc outlook n an otherwse dreary season. "The most dffcult aspect for me personally ths year has been n terms of motvatng the kds when they've played so hard the entre season and have had so lttle to show for t," Meycrsad. "I constantly share bblcal llustratons wth the team that say you reap what you so w and hard effort wll mert good results; but so much of t seems lke theory to them untl they actually start experencng t." Whle many factors have led to the Flames' 2-14 record, none s more glarng than the ncredble youth and nexperence factor. Of the 12 players on the current actve roster, fve were playng hgh school ball at ths tme last year whlefveothers sat out the enure 1989-90 season for varous reasons (red-shrt, njures, and elgblty purposes). Only startng center Mke Coleman and "I'l'lV»W> J»" Yates were on the team's actve roster last season. Coleman has been the team's only consstent player (16.0 ponts, 11.3 rebounds a game), whle therestof the team has performed lke freshmen: red-hot one game, nonexstent de next. At Bg East power Provdence three weeks ago, the Flames looked lke a team on a msson as they raced to an astonshng 56-50 halftme lead n front of more than 13,000 confused fans. However, the youth and nexperence factor pounded de Flames n the second half as the Frars oulscored Lberty 52-22 to clam a convncng 102-78 wn. The Provdence game provded a glmmer of hope for the future, but Meyer realzes that breedng a wnnng Dvson 1 program wll take tme. "We had a feelng t was gong to be a dffcult year from de begnnng. It was not lke we were not aware of t." Meyer sad. "It s gong to take some tme for ths group to learn how to play togemer.

The Royals, who dd not sport a player taller than 6-feet,6-nches were outrebounded 46-35 ncludng 22-12 n the frst half. In the second half, the Royals madeonly nnefeldgoals (28 percent). Lberty opened up the week aganst Furman Unversty Thursday, but the Paladns took advantage of a 17-2 second-half run to overcome a 14- pont defct and pull away from the upset-mnded Flames, 67-62.

Tralng 23-17 enterng the second half, George Mason wasted no tme n brdgng the sx-pont gap, as the Lady Patrots captalzed on four LU turnovers n the frst fve mnutes. Junor forward Theresa Bream (18 ponts, 12 rebounds) ht two free throws wth 15:45 remanng to pull LU to wthn 26-25. Lberty connected on tsfrstfeld goal of the second half wth 13:48 left when freshman guard Sandy Schwasnck hta short jumper, cuttng the lead 32-27. An assst from Schwasnck allowed Bream to score nsde, cuttng the lead to three at 32-29 wth 12:41 left n the game. Bream pulled the Lady Flames to wthn two wth 8:15 remanng as she ht a free throw to convert a three-pont play. But the Flames could get no closer. The Lady Flames remaned at a standstll for the rest of the game as ther nexperence showed. The Lady Patrots consstently broke through Lberty's man- to-man defense forcng the Flames to foul. GMU ht 6 of 7 free throws n thefnalmnutes. When asked about the second-half slump, LU head coach Rck Reeves sad, "We lost our leadershp n the second half. We don't have the leadershp needed to play from behnd we need to stay ahead." Bream commented, "We need determnaton to wn the game, but t needs to be contnued." Lberty came out strong to begn the game by grabbng a 9-4 lead on freshman guard Dawn Coleman's three-ponter wth 11:40 left n the frst half. GMU foughtback and ted the score at 11, but Lberty took control agan by scorng the next sx ponts. The two teams then swapped baskets for theremanderof the half as Lberty led 23-17. The Lady Flames defense held the Lady Patrots to only sx frst half feld goals on 19 percent shootng. Of the sx, only two baskets were scored outsde of the pant. But n the second half, GMU naled 47 percent of ts feld goals. Overall, the Lady Flames' ponts were spread thn among the players. The low scorng of the game resulted n only a 33 percent feld goal percentage for the Flames. One of the man problems n the loss was turnovers. Lberty gave the ball away 21 tmes ncludng 15 durng the decsve second half Despte a 5-8 record, Reeves mantaned a postve perspectve about the game.

Shortly after the ejecton, the Flames lost the lead and eventually the game leavng many to beleve that the "Brd's" ejecton sealed the fate odf Lberty. "I don't know why but for some reason, he (Edsall) got really offensve and took the whole thng personally," Coupland sad aftersaturday's Eastern Mennonte contest. "He's a good referee and well-respected everywhere, but he just lost t for a second." Coupland has used the stuffedreferee act durng almost every home game durng the past two seasons and was gven clearance to contnue the act by the LU athletc department - despte the ejecton. 'The coordnator of referees for the Southern Conference was there Thursday nght and he even sad that the referee was beng a lttle touchy," Coupland sad. "As long as I stll have the support of the team and the fans, I wll contnue to do t." Who wll be offcatng ths Saturday's home game aganst the College of Charleston? You guessed rght. Duke Edsall.

The next Flames game you go to can be the true test to my theory. When you see Lberty start makng mstakes, take note as to whether t s a "freshman mstake." One player that may be the forgotten man s sophomore forward Danny Pratt. At 6-feet-6-nches and 215 pounds, Pratt may be the best athlete on the team. He had four blocked shots aganst Eastern Mennonte last Saturday and added two tomahawk dunks. He could be the go-to man of the future. If you stll doubt my word, take the word of Furman head coach Butch Estes: "Lberty s an mprovng basketball team. If they could wn two or three games, they'll be reelng." Smlarly Coleman sad, "I have a great deal of players to work wth. We just must overcome our mstakes." Pratt agreed, "We'rebetter than our record ndcates. Mnorproblems early n the game usually cost us the wn." The pont to all of ths s that only tme wll tell f these young players can fulfll ther potental. In the meantme the Flames contnue to play an exctng style of basketball as they consstently gve 150 percent effort to wn every game. Wth each passng year, ths year's freshman class wll be gettng better and better Lberty plays seven of ts fnal 10 games n the Vnes Center, whch may gve the team the prceless confdence that could carry over nto next season. The rght thng to do now s to gve them the support that they need and deserve. In the long run, ths promsng group of youngsters wll not let you down. to*lw c)rup, C7nc* FREE DELIVERY TO HOSPITALS & FUNERAL HOMES COMPLETE WEDDING SERVICES CASH & CARRY k'mloa par IIIIIIIIIIII 237-9333 OPEN 9-5:30 MON.-FRI. 9-5:00 SAT.

Tuesday, Jan. 22,1991 The Lberty Champon, Page 9 Struggle Contnued from Page 7 tores." One player who consstently dsplays wsdom on and off the court s the 6-foot-7-nch, 215-pound Coleman. Guded by an ncredble spark of self-motvaton that s rare n college athletes, Coleman has developed nto a domnant force under the basket, leadng the team n almost every major offensve category. Despte the lack of any consstency from hs supportng cast, Coleman s excted about the future. "We have a great core of talent here. The young players are fnally startng to get comfortable wth the system, and they're beng able to read one another on the court," Coleman explaned. "We have a great bunch of guys wth a great atttude. The future looks really brght." In late December the team was dealt ts most crpplng loss off the court when sophomore startng guard BJ. Burton and senor reserve forward Zach Harrs were expelled from the team for volatng unversty polcy. The loss of Burton left Lberty wthout ts top offensve permeter player and best overall defensve player, but Meyer mantans that ncdent s not a reflecton on the team he has assembled. "It has always been our motvaton to develop the best possble basketball team on the court and to try and honor the Lord and represent Lberty n a postve manner," Meyer explaned. "It s my prmary responsblty to Lberty Unversty to work very hard at dscpleshp. Ths s not only a professon; t's also a mnstry. From day to day, we conduct devotons that wll hopefully teach the kds to make rght decsons n lfe. "The downsde of youth s that they tend to make bad decsons and poor judgment calls," Meyer sad. "The upsde of youth s that they are very reslent I'm proud of ths team n that none of them have hung ther heads. I hope as we mprove n the future that we wll not forget what t s lke to experence consecutve losses, and we learn to apprecate vctores." Whle most agree that there s nowhere to go but up for the LU basketball program, Meyer feels success wll come a lot sooner than many thnk. "I truly beleve that next season we wll not only be compettve, but we'll be a team that fnshes well over the.500 mark," Meyer predcted. "Our schedule wll have a better balance of home and away games, and our young players wll have developed." Basketball Contnued from Page 7 remanng. But Furman, usng a trappng press and a tenacous man-toman defense, began to take charge as LU commtted 14 of ts 17 turnovers n the second half. The Paladns scored sx ponts n the next 26 seconds, takng ther frst lead of the game when senor forward Tracy Garrck ht hs only threeponter of the nght to gve Furman a 53-52 lead wth 6:48 left. After LU mssed a quck shot, Garrck scored agan from the pant to ncrease the lead to 55-52 wth 6:11 remanng as Meyer called a tmeout. But thngs got worse for the Flames as they faled to score on ther next fve possessons. Fnally, Coleman ht a baselne jumper to pull LU to wthn 59-54. ButFurman's Derek Waugh, who led the Paladns wth 19 ponts and 12 rebounds, scored four straght to ncrease the lead to 63-54 wth 3:10 remanng. A Toomer three-ponter followed by another Coleman feld goal cut the lead to 63-59 wth 42 seconds remanng. But the Paladns ht 4 of 4 free throws to ce ts nnth wn aganst fve losses. Furman ht 19 of 20 free throws for the game and held Lberty to 1 of 11 on three-pont attempts n the second half. "We ddn't have the productvty comng out of the locker room (after halftme)," Meyer sad. "If we had more experence, t could have been dfferent." The Flames began the game on fre as they ht 51 percent of ther feld goals n thefrsthalf ncludngfveof 10 three-ponters. They also commtted only three turnovers n the frst half as they led 37-25 at ntermsson. "Our kds came out strong n the frst half," Meyer sad. "But Furman's experence was a defnte factor." Whle Furman could not contan Coleman, they dd shut out LU's other bg man as Nwosu scored only four ponts, ncludng a scoreless second half. The Flames also shot themselves n the foot, httng only 4 of 11 from the free-throw lne. Paladns' head coach Butch Estes was very mpressed wth the Flames. "We played a great Lberty team tonght," Estes sad. "These guys played lke t was the champonshps." RIVER RIDGE AUTO BODY PROFESSIONAL BODY WORK & PAINTING CHIEF.
