TRUSTEES OKAY NEW RESIDENCE
HALL FOR 50-60 STUDENTS
The Methodi~t College Board of
Trustees recently approved a series of
planning recommendations that will allow
the college to serve" at least 2,000
students" by the year 2000.
In 1992-93. the college served 1.680
students-1.080 in the day program and
600 in the evening. Approximately half of
the day students were resident students.
At a planning retreat June 4-6, the
trustees approved the construction of
additional residence halls over a six-year
period to accommodate an additional 300
resident students. Each residence hall will
house 50-60 students; the first will be
opened in the fall of 1994. The college
will borrow funds to build the facilities
and use revenues from room rent to retire
the debt.
"I believe if we build these facilities. the
students will come," said Dr. Elton
Hendricks. college president. "The
Buildings and Grounds Committee (of the
board of trustees) will meet soon to select
an architect and discuss sites for the new
residence halls. We will review enrollment

units are needed."
Methodist can presently accommodate
600 students in four residence halls. An
additional 44 students can be housed in a
renovated 12 -unit apartment building on
the southern edge of the campus. The
college is planning for 610 resident
stu den ts this fall.
The construction of new residence halls
was one of several recommendations
presented to the trustees by a Strategic
Concepts Committee appointed by the
president. The committee's report and
recommendations were discussed in detail
during the trustees' planning retreat.
The trustees approved two other
recommendations which have major
ramifications for the future of the college.
First. they authorized a feasibility study to
prepare for a major capital campaign for
building the endowment and new
academic facilities. They also established a
task force to make recommendations to
the trustees in the summer of 1994
regarding development of unused college
land.
RECORD FALL ENROLLMENT PROJECTED
Methodist College officials expect a
record enrollment this fall of 1.770
students-l ,190 in the regular day
program and 580 in the Evening College.
As ofJune 25. 933 students were preregistered for fall day classes. compared to
703 at the same time last year. That's a
17.6 percent increase. More returning
students and more new students are preregistered than was the case a year ago.
Day classes begin August 24.

''I'm most pleased that we've seen a 57
percent increase in applications from
North Carolina." said Alan Coheley, vice
president for enrollment services. "This
was one of our goals. We've traveled more
(to more than 300 college fairs) this year
and that has paid off."

FAYETTEVILLE
AND
CUMBERLAND
COUNTY
In a May 9 lecture at Methodist
College, Charles Vere, Earl of Burford,
presented evidence suggesting that Edward
de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, wrote
the works attributed to William
Shakespeare.
Mr. Vere, a direct descendant of the
Elizabethan nobleman, said William
Shakespeare of Stratford did not possess
the education and experience needed to
have written the plays and sonnets
attributed to him. He said there is also no
public record in England that Shakespeare
wrote any literary works.
Lord Burford, 27, reported that in
1920 J. Thomas Looney (an English
school master) analyzed the works of
Shakespeare for content and style and then
searched through other literature of the
Elizabethan period. Looney reportedly
found a stylistic match in several anonymous works and some obscure poems by
"E. Vere." He also identified 18 personal
characteristics of the author suggested by
the content of Shakespeare's plays and
sonnets and concluded that only Edward
de Vere fit the profile.
The guest lecturer said Edward de
Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was a poet,
playwright, musician, dancer, European
traveler, and soldier. The earl was also
well-educated, having graduated from
Cambridge at 14 and Oxford at 17 and
studied law at the Inns of Court.
Vere suggested that his noble ancestor
chose Shakspere (which literally means
spear-shaker) as a pseudonym or pen name
for his own personal safety and possibly as
a deliberate pun. He said playwrights
were considered "low in station" and that
no Elizabethan nobleman would have
dared satirize English kings and the
nobility in the manner done in the Bard's
plays. He said later historians erred by
making the man from Stratford the real
author.
Lord Burford also theorized that:
-William Shakespeare, the actor, was
a paid "front man" and a silent conspirator
in a well-conceived hoax,
-the Earl of Southampton paid
Shakespeare to leave London and return to
Stratford in 1598.
-The Earl of Oxford was one of
Queen Elizabeth's lovers.
-A family Bible belonging to the Earl
of Oxford contained marked passages
which appear in Shakespeare's works.
-Ben Johnson was sent to Stratford to

The Methodist College Foundation's
36th annual Community Loyalty
Campaign "went over the top" in May,
surpassing its 1993 goal of $200,000.
Bob Exum, secretaryltreasurer of V an
Story-Exum Insurance Agency, chaired
this year's fund drive, which began
February 16. He W\lS aided by a team of
105 volunteer fund-raisers .•
As ofJune 28, the college had received
$215,363 in cash and pledges from
Cumberland County supporters. That
was 47 percent ahead of the $146,246
raised by the same time in 1992.
"I would like to thank the college
trustees, members of the foundation
board, our volunteers, and all who have
given to the college," said Mr. Exum. "By
year's end, I hope we will have raised at
least $250,000, which would put us well
ahead of the 1992 total of $237,781.
Methodist College is very deserving of our
support."
The Community Loyalty Campaign is
the means by which the Methodist
College Foundation fulfills its original
pledge to provide annual sustaining funds
for the college.

REV. STARK ASKS MEMBERS OF CLASS OF
"Let's help build a family-friendly
world." That was the challenge given to
150 graduating seniors at Methodist
College Sunday, May 16.
Speaking at Methodist's 30th spring
commencement, the Rev. Rufus Stark II,
president of the Methodist Home for
Children, decried the" cult of individualism and self-centeredness" of the last three
decades. "This
is a critical
time for the
health of the
family in
America," he
said.
Rev. Stark
urged members
of the Class of
'93 to accept
the Christian
view that every
human being is
important and
A REV. STARK
the new
"systems theory" that dysfunctional
families can be healed.
The speaker said Americans should do
a number of things to ensure a familyfriendly environment:
1) Practice sexual responsibility.
2) Reform the federal income tax
structure and bring the child dependent
exemption to parity ($6,000 per child).
3) Reform the divorce laws and put
children first.
4) Enact a
"non-poverty"
mmlmurn
wage.
5) Build
community in
their own
~
families,
•
applying the
principle that
every member
is a person of
worth.
A
During the
baccalaureate
REV. HOLT
sermon Sunday
morning, Rev. Glen Holt, pastor of First
Baptist Church in Fayetteville, asked the
seniors to reflect on the most essential
things they had learned in college. He
then gave his own personal list of things
he had learned "that he really needed to
know": 1) To be successful in life, you
need a g0al or vision, 2) People are more
important than things, 3) Dare to dream,
4) Staying power goes further than starting
power, and 5) Faith and learning go hand
in hand.
During the commencement exercise,
College President Elton Hendricks
presented
honorary
Doctor of
Divinity
degrees to the
Rev. Rufus
Stark II and
Rev. Glen
Holt. Mr.
Harlan F.
Duenow,
retiring
conductor of
the Fayetteville
Symphony
A HARLAN DUENOW
Orchestra, was
presented a
Methodist College Medallion in recognition of his musical leadership.
Christine Lynn Babb, an accounting

faculty as the senior who best exemplified
academic excellence, spiritual development, leadership, and service.

YOUR HELP
Is
In meetings this spring, the Strategic
Concepts Committee* reached 12
conclusions that it considered to be
significant concerning the future of
Methodist College. The group then posed
five questions it felt the college trustees,
faculty, and staff needed to address in the
short term.
Conclusions
1) Methodist College is an intensely
enrollment-driven institution.
2) During a time when high school
graduation rates nationally and in North
Carolina have declined (resulting in a
reduced enrollment pool) Methodist
College's enrollment has continued to
grow and was at record levels in the Fall
1992 and Spring 1993 semesters.
3) Among the most important factors
influencing recruitment and fund raising
at a college are its general image and
reputation.
4) The earliest Methodist College
alumni are reaching the age where the
education they received at Methodist
College is beginning to evidence itself.
5) The physical appearance of the
campus has improved significantly in
recent years.
6) The college is in the best fmancial
condition in its history.
NEEDED
The Office of Campus Ministry would
like to purchase 150 new chairs (cost $100
each) and new carpet for Hensdale Chapel
to better serve the worship needs of our
To
7) The Methodist College faculty is
larger and better credentialed and the
academic program is better structured.
8) Retention, while still too low, is at
an all-time high.
9) Only a few schools in North
Carolina or the nation will commit a
higher percentage of operating budget to
financial aid than does Methodist College.
10) A few years ago Methodist College
successfully conducted its first major
capital campaign.
11) Methodist College has a valuable
and relatively unused asset in its large land
holdings.
12) The major crises of our time are
ethical and moral. We must reinforce
value considerations in every area of study
at Methodist College.
Questions for the Future
1) What is the optimum or at least the
proper enrollment for Methodist College?
2) How do we identify and create for
Methodist College a special niche in the
market? Specifically, how do we take
advantage of our successful blending of a
traditional liberal arts program with the
growth and attractiveness of our programs
having a professional orientation?
3) How do we fulfill our mission to

FOOTBALL COACH COUNTING ON VETERANS
Second-year Head Coach Jim Sypult
will lead the program's largest returning
veteran team into the 1993 football
season. The Monarchs begin their fifth
season of gridiron action.
"We expect between 40 and 45
veterans this season," Sypult said. "Anything can happen during the summer in a
non-scholarship program but we've
worked hard to retain players. This is a
big improvement from last year's number
of returnees, so we're very happy with the
progress."
The Monarchs open the season
September 4 against Chowan College.
The strength of the team will be the
offensive and defensive line that returns
intact. The skill positions will be wellmanned and several kicking specialists also
return.
The football staff also has recruited a
large and talented class. "This is really this
staff's first full-year of recruiting," Sypult

programs. This is a slow process but I feel
we have the football program on the verge
of winning."
MEN'S SOCCER TEAM MAY BE ALL-TIME BEST
After turning in the best men's season
in Monarch history (16-1-2), the 1993
soccer squad looks to the fall with great
anticipation.
The 1992 team went undefeated
during regular season play, won the Dixie
Conference championship for the fourth
consecutive year, and advanced to the
quarter-final round of the NCAA Division
III Tournament after capturing the South
Regional Championship.
The Monarchs return a strong and
experienced defensive group for the 1993
campaign. All-South standouts include
senior Chris Shaw (Fayetteville, NC) and
sophomore Kenneth Hoey (Dublin,
Ireland), while sophomore standout
Daniel Barros (Edison, NJ) continues to
establish himself as a major force. Competition for positions will be fierce at the
back, as sophomore Greg Vallee (Columbia, SC) shows great improvement, while
sophomore Jason Williams (Stuart, FL)
and senior Lee Burrows (Fernandina
Beach, FL) provide essential cover.
The goalkeeping unit is led by sophomore All-Conference performer Justin
Terranova (Ridgefield, CT). The
"keepers" allowed goals to the 1992
opposition and had a "goals against"
average of .40, providing a good defensive
base for the 1993 campaign. Sophomore
standout Elton Ramey (Fayetteville, NC)
returns from injury to push for the starting
job.
In the midfield the squad returns a
multitude of experienced players including
All-South performer senior Bill
Capobianco (Hudson, FL) as well as AllConference performer senior Jason Butler
(Yero Beach, FL), last year's leading goal
scorer. Junior John Demos (Dublin, OH)
and sophomore Bobby Lovelace (Fayetteville, NC) provides good depth.
Versatility is the name of the game up
front as all three returners are capable
players anywhere on the field. Senior
standout Brad Hamilton (Fayetteville,
NC) promises to improve on a stellar
junior year, while All-Conference performer, junior Chip Pleasants (Dublin,
OH), hopes to overcome a 1992 late
season injury to provide his invaluable
experience to the squad. Finally, sophomore All-Conference performer Michael
Scobee (Fayetteville, NC) returns to
improve on a terrific freshman collegiate
season.
The return of experienced players,
along with the additions of a very promising recruiting year, gives Coach Dawson
reason to think "BIG" for the Fall 1993
campalgn.

The 1993 season should be very
challenging for the women's soccer team.
With the return of sixteen players from
last year's (9-8-5) squad, along with an
excellent recruiting class, the Monarchs are
anticipating an exciting season.
Two tournaments highlight the 1993
season for the Monarchs. The first has the
Monarchs traveling to NC Wesleyan to
face Wooster College and Salem State
University, both 1992 NCAA Tournament teams.
The second tournament has the
Monarchs hosting Messiah College and
Trenton State University. Both were
nationally ranked teams, with Trenton
State being number one for most of the
1992 season. This will be the first regular
season tournament that the Monarchs
have hosted since the fall of 1987.
Numerous colleges in the region also
feature strong teams. These include:

VOLLEYBALL COACH LOOKS To SENIORS
The 1993 volleyball team is hoping to
match, if not exceed, the second place
DIAC mark of the past two years. Coach
Karen Smith and two seniors will see their
fourth season together.
Danielle Genest (Woodbridge, VA)
and Jill Sturenfeldt Geanette, PA) will
control the outside and middle-hitting
positions, respectively, with three years of
varsity experience. Their leadership and
flair for the game will be the foundation of
this year's squad.
Junior Kim Miller will direct the team
from the setting position. With two years
of experience and a strong offense
surrounding her, Kim should have her
best year ever.
Methodist will be hosting the Third
Annual Methodist College Invitational, in
addition to traveling to Atlanta, Georgia
and Washington, DC for regionally
competitive tournaments. Expectations
are high for the upcoming season, with a
solid nucleus of returners and an exciting
first-year class.
TENNIS TEAMS FINISH STRONG
MEN'S TENNIS
The men's tennis team fmished second
in the DIAC for the 1993 regular season,
but played some exciting tennis to tie for
the tournament championship. The team
compiled an overall record of 5-6 and 2-1
in the conference.
Receiving All-Conference honors for
the team were Wade Liles, Foo H wa Kong
and Marc Tyndale. Mark Faber had a
ninth place ITA regional ranking and he
and Scott Pickrel were ranked fifth
regionally and twenty-sixth nationally.
WOMEN 3-1 IN DIAC
In a rebuilding year for the Lady
Monarch tennis, the team managed
second place DIAC regular season and
tournament finishes. The conference
record was 3-1 and overall, 6-13.
T racy Maness, Janna Bias, Heather
Hyslop and Dina LaVoe were named AllConference. Maness was ranked No.7
regionally and Bias was No. 13 nationally.

athletics.
This is the third time in the last four
years the Monarchs have received this
honor; they previously held the cup in
1990 and 1992. First place finishes in
men's soccer, women's soccer, women's
basketball, men's tennis, and men's golf
generated the highest total points of any
school in the DIAC.
SOFTBALL SQUAD
FINISHES
2-6
The 1993 softball season was one of
rebuilding and youth.
The team was led by junior AllConference second baseman Anne
Uleman who returned after a year of knee
rehabilitation. Kerry Oliastro (Riverside,
PA), Kim Miller Gacksonville, NC) and
Wendy Wear (Merry Hill, NC) were the
only other returners from the 1992 squad.
Miller received First Team AllConference honors, while Oliastro was
named Team MVP and honored with a
Second Team All-Conference position.
The remainder of the squad was made up
of first-year players.
