‘Bridge of Blood’ premiere tonight at 8 p.m.Tonight the missionary drama,
"Bridge of Blood.” opens in Alford Aud. Its author, asst. prof. David H. Robey, along with ten Cedar UleCoMege students, began working at the beginning of winter quarter in anticipation of these performances.
The play recounts the story of five missionaries: Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Nate Saint, Ed McCully and Roger Youderian. and their commitment to reach an unevangelized tribe of Indians in Ecuador.
Excerpted from three volumes. Through Gates o f Splendor,
Jungle Pilot and Shadow o f the Almighty, this story preserves the historicity and authenticity of the original event.
One cast member related. “I had read Through Gates o f Splendor and had always been oriented towards missions. But hearing the lines in the letters from the men’s' diaries and seeing the quality of their lives has only made the desire deeper.”
Another actor added, “The thing that stuck out in my mind the most is the commitment they had .to the Lord and the desire they had for
Gary S. Cooke and Jill Parks rehearse of ‘Bridge of Blood, one last time before tonight’s premiere
lost souls. It has instilled the desire in me to share the burden and he committed.”
Still another member considered the message of the play and stated, “To see the sacrifice of those men and the result of that sacrifice is a reminder that God does nothing without a purpose, even though sometimes it is hidden from us at first.”
“In looking back and seeing how God used their sacrifice and commitment, we can have the confidence that if we commit our lives
to that same degree whatever-hap- pens is then in the Lord's hands. We also know that in His sovereignty He is in complete control of every situation and that in His love He wants the very best for us. For the person who truly knows God, commitment and even sacrifice need hold no fear.”
A final cast member concluded, “1 hope that the audiences who view ‘Bridge’ will not just see it as a ‘nice’ play and forget it when they leave Alford. Rather, 1 hope that they let it touch them, that they
come with a heart and mind open to God’s leading, and. after seeing ‘Bridge,“that they will let the message penetrate their hearts and influence their lives in a way thai perhaps nothing ever has before. '
“Bridge of Blood" plays tonight through Saturday, beginning at 8 p.m. each evening.
Cast members include: Robin Randolph, Dan Barfell, Joe Osenni, Irene- Farley, Gary S. Cooke, Jill Parks, Tom Wigger- shaus, Julie English, David Clark and Kathy Bachelder.
Forensics team excelsThe Cedarville Forensics team returned last Satur
day from a productive weekend at Ohio University at Athens. They participated in the 16th annual Interstate Individual Events Tournament. In the event, the team placed sixth overall and the students Kathy Bachelder and Edd Sturdevant took individual hon-' ors.
Bachelder took third place in the area of Prose Interpretation with a selection from “The Scarlet Ibis.” Her performance represents four rounds of competition in a category with 62 contestants.
Sturdevant copped honors in three events, including a 6th place finish in Impromptu Sales which had 39 contestants. Sturdyant also finished second in Extemporaneous Speaking with 23 contestants. In Impromptu Speaking, Sturdevant earned top honors. Impromptu featured 37 competitors.
Cedarville is one of 21 teams in the state of Ohio which sponsors an intercollegiate team in the speech realm.
The Ohio University tournament has a reputation for stiff competition. Lee Ann Thomas, who serves as the OU team Secretary indicated in OU’s student newspaper, The Post, that, “Ohio is a strong place to compete. When a team comes to OU, it knows the tournament won’t be an easy one.”
Thomas further indicated that the OU tournament involved over 200 contestants from 18 colleges and universities. The schools traveled from eight states, from as far away as Eastern Illinois University and Massachusetts Emerson University.
Intercollegiate Forensics competition involves four types of speaking. Interpretive events at the OU tourney included Prose, Poetry, Dramatic Interpand Dramatic Duo. Limited Preparation events included Extemporaneous, which involves speaking on a current event topic on thirty minutes notice, Impromptu, which involves speaking on a quotation with a one to two minute preparation, and Impromptu Sales, which involves selling a product within the same time restriction.
The third area is that of prepared speeches which include Informative, Persuasive and Communications Criticism. The final area involves Humorous speaking; at OC, this included After Dinner Speaking .and “Bad Oralization of Literature,” the humorous treatment of prose and poetry.
At theOU tournament, Cedarville’s team included Bachelder and Sturdevant, as well as John Sidle, Paula Moore, Gary Barker and Arlan Palmer.
At the State of Ohio novice tournament held last month at Ohio State University, Sidle received top honors in both Informative and Persuasive speaking. Paula Moore was honored for her performance in Informative Speaking, and Gary Barker was honored in both Prose and Poety Interp events. Novice competition is for students in their first year of forensics.
The forensics teams, coached by asst, prof of speech David Robey and instructor Deborah Horner, heads next to the University of Toledo for the 1983 Ohio State Championships on Feb. 18-19.

Activities vital to learningby Jeffrey D. Summerlin
One of Cedarville College's goals is to provide a well-balanced program. This includes academic, spiritual growth and extra-curricular involvement. The first two areas are essential to a sound education and are often a student’s reasons for attending Cedarville.
The third objective, though, is not as easily integrated or incorporated into student curriculum. Excuses such as “J just don't have the time. . .," “They don't like me,” “Maybe next year,” or “That's just not for me” have been echoed through institution's halls for years.
According to the college handbook, involvement in various facets of collegiate life contributes
Isolation vs. Isolationism’by Edd Sturdevant
Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit a large state university. Never has any visit to any institution, Christian or secular, educational or not, gripped me so.
I was besieged with sensory impressions of lostness. 1 saw bathroom walls asking for^ discreet homosexual relationships. I saw pornography openly displayed for sale. 1 saw evidences of students making a regular matter of drunkenness. I saw men and women revelling in their lostness, even gloating in it.
These were all things I had seen before.
Suddenly this weekend, these evidences of debauchery impressed upon me the lost condition of man more strongly than ever before. Conversely, it impressed upon me the futility of much of what is practiced in contemporary, evangelical Christianity more
strongly than ever before.I have yet to place a finger on
why the impressions of lost man hit me so hard. Perhaps it was the quantity of the sin that I saw. Perhaps it was the intensity of the sin that I saw. Perhaps it was simply the fact that the sin was open and blatant.
However, I do know why the futility of modern evangelicalism impresses me.
Scripture repeatedly admonishes us to live in separation , in isolation, from the sinfulness of the world around us. However, it never gives the slightest hint of a • policy of isolationism on the part of the Christian community. Nowhere in Scripture do I find a wisp of an indication that we are not to come in contact with, not to influence, not to affect the lives of the lost that we encounter daily.
The Word of God insists on separation from disobedience on the

part of every Christian, regardless of their social position, their educational status or the longevity of their years. There remains no other option for the believer. This is isolation - from sin.
Unfortunately, it is all too easy for us (us - a collective pronoun including all members of a given class) to live in isolation from lost sinners and not from sin. We have allowed the concept of isolation from sin to decline into a policy of isolationism from lost men.
1 trust that the line 1 have drawn is clear. I find Christians who have chosen to absent themselves from any kind of influence, evangelistic or otherwise, upon the lost men they come in contact with every day. This is evangelistic isolationism. At the same time many retreat into their Christian enclaves, ghettos, if you will; they fall into sin, ending the com- manded.isolation from it.
The Lord Jesus Christ commanded that we be the salt of the earth. The statement that He made as not you should he the salt of the earth, but you are the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13) . This state-
to “the personal development and also provides outlets from the demands and pressures of academic life."
This personal development includes learning to be committed to a goal and accomplishing that goal. It also includes learning how to become more responsible, organized, patient and how to positively influence others' lives.
Participation does provide an outlet from academic pressures. After a full day of classes and studies, having an opportunity to do something else invites a special lift to the end of the day. Trying to decide where, how much and when to get involved should be major decisions . The question of “should 1 get involved?” must be replaced with, “How can 1 get involved?”
Some students can handle giving up several hours a day, while others can only give up a small amount of time. Whatever the situ- 'ation, each individual must pinpoint his capabilities. When these are discovered he must expand them into new horizons.
The college provides six general spheres in which students can engage in activities. The first area is Christian Service, in which are opportunities to serve in orphanages, nursing homes, rescue missions, Bible clubs and local churches. Each of these can entail only an hour a week, or some can involve spring and summer breaks. For example, one can sing, visit, participate in services and just be a friend to those in nursing homes, it only takes one hour a week every Sunday morning.
The second major facet of co- curricular student life is intercollegiate athletics. One such competitive sport is basketball. Each week the varsity and JV squads show their talent on the court. However, the greater percentage of participation comes from the
sports. One can be involved throughout the week each quarter. In co-ed volleyball for example, students learn to play together and take on their competition. In this way students have opportunity to work together with people they might never meet in dorms or classes.
Fourthly, organizations provide an area for student involvement. Kappa Epsilon Alpha, the business club, for example, is presently planning a weekend conference. In coordinating the event, the involved members are learning about scheduling speakers, planning a banquet and building a special project.
Each of these allows students to use and develop leadership abilities and provides the school with a service.
Fifthly. Student Senate provides an opening for students to voice the opinion of the student body. Senate includes officers, two representatives of each class, dorm representatives, off-campus representatives and one representative from each organization. Once a member, a student can join committees, become involved in student affairs and learn quality leadership skills.
Finally, the fine arts program offers a major area of participation. Brass Choir, Concert Chorale and pep band are among the groups in which students can be involved. Dramatic productions offer other opportunities in the area o f fine arts. Those with musical or dramatic abilities can especially benefit from the experience and instruction offered here.
Involvement includes intramurals, student government, fine arts and nursing home service. Whatever the activity, though, it is essential to get involved.
Four years go very quickly. A college education can be the rich-
fans, who yell, scream, jump and est, most rewarding time of one's sometimes try to help coach.
The Campus Activities Office provides a third general area of pursuit in collegiate life. One avenue of participation is intramural
life if it includes a balance of academics, spiritual growth and extra-curricular activities. No one should graduate with only remembrances of page after page of books.

Indignation spurs abortion mini-forumIn Journal o f Christian Recon
struction, Bernard Nathanson; MD, makes the following statement: “In the period since the Supreme Court decision abortion has become the most commonly performed surgical procedure on adults in the United States...."
Elsewhere the Journal says that in 1980 there were 1,238,987 legal abortions or 358 abortions for every 1000 births. This represents a 5700% increase over the last ten years. In the past decade an abortion revolution has taken place.
Statistics like these have planted the “seeds of indignation” resulting in the 1983 Timalathians/Stu- dent Senate Mini-forum entitled. “Abortion: The Christian Response." The mini-forum is a joint effort of Timalathians, a campus organization committed to the Biblical pursuit of truth, and Student Senate, which provided the necessary funds for the four-day endeavor. •
The key figure in the organization and planning of the miniforum has been Timalathians President, Jonathan Selden. Selden, with the help of Dee Patty, a former Cedarville student, has brought together what they believe is an impressive line-up of speakers and informative films designed to give greater knowledge to the student body concerning the abortion issues.
Selden. explaining the reasons for choosing the topic of abortion, comments “The abortion issue is one of immense gravity. America will be brought into judgment for its blatant approval of this mass murder. What is needed is immediate Christian action. But the first step in action is knowledge. A lack of knowledge will inevitably lead to a lack of response."
With this conviction Selden moved rapidly in organizng a week of sessions to be led by James Biddle (Chmn., Dept, of Education), Bridget! Brewster (President, Right to Life. Kokomo, Ind.), James Butcher (Indiana State Senator) and Donald Linblad (Pastor, Kemp Road Baptist Church, Day- ton, Ohio).
Biddle wili expose the
philosophical underpinnings of abortion; Mrs. Brewster is scheduled to address the area of the medical and ethical issues of abortion; Senator Butcher plans to focus on the legal and legislative issues of abortion, and Lindblad will conclude the mini-forum speaking concerning the Christian response to abortion.
Four films will be shown during the course of the mini-forum. Two of these are “Abortion of the Human Race” and “The Basis for Human Dignity” featuring Francis Schaeffer.
Selden pointed out that abortion -clinics currently operate in both Columbus and Cincinnati, thus making the Springfield-Xenia region a prime target area for the future establishment of such a clinic.
Selden emphatically stated: "Christians must begin to work now in order to keep such a clinic from ever coming into existence." -He went on to voice his goal of beginning a Right to Life Chapter on the campus of Cedarville College.
Says Selden, "Timalathians is convinced that truth demands action. We are not an ivory-tower debate society. Our goal is to instill in society the truth that abortion is imm oral,-a breach against God's soverign law.”
Summing up the current philosophical situation in which the abortion issue is so deeply rooted, Randy Thornburg, coordinator of Timalathians Bibfe studies, made the following observations: “Modern man tells us that truth cannot be contained in a set of 'archaic' religious dogmatisms to which only the naive would give assent. Modern man wants no part in a truth which he cannot change to accommodate the exigencies of the moment.
“He is wonderfully open- minded, scorning all dogma in order to gluttonize himself in the veritable ethical smorgasbord of contemporary society. When confronted with a propssitional moral imperative such as ‘thou shalt not
kill,' he will actively do all he can to assert his own autonomy and set himself up as-his own god in his own universe. He never finds truth because he never seeks truth.”
Thornburg continues, “What a stark contrast this is to the \vorld of grace in which God’s people dwell. The Lord Jesus Christ has told us that .God’s Word is truth (John 17 :17) and that He Himself is truth (John 14:6). Paul tells us that the church is the pillar and ground of the truth (I Timothy 3:15). The church is to declare the truth, uphold the truth and bear testimony to the abiding validity of all of God’s Word.
"The function of the redeemed as salt and light to the world is inextricably bound up with the establishment of God’s law as the normative standard of ethical activity, not only for the church itself, but for society as well (Matthew 5 :13- 19). If Christ's words are to be taken seriously, then the implica
tions are quite apparent. It is either God’s law or chaos.”
The seven-session Timala- thians/Student Senate Mini- Forum, “Abortion: A Christian response," will be held Feb. 21-24. Three of the sessions will utilize the morning chapel hour with the remaining four sessions taking place in afternoon and evening time slots. Selden remarked that Paul Dixon was extremely helpful in making arrangement for the guest speakers to appear during the
-chapel hour. “This was done because Dr. Dixon was so impressed by the importance and urgency of the issue,” said Selden.
The goal of the week long miniforum, as expressed by Selden in behalf of Timalathians, is for radical student involvement in the fight against this unseen holocaust. Selden pointedly concluded, “The legal decision of 1973 must be turned around if we are to stop the murder. We must act now."
SC-TV slates new programmingThe decision to switch from a
first-come open viewing format to pre-established programming on the Student Center TV was made by the Student Center facilities staff.
According to a memo from the Campus Activities Office, the purpose for programming the television “is to assure that it will aid in fulfilling' the objectives of the student center by providing cultural, social, educational and recreational activity which is consistent with college educational and spiritual objectives.”
Senior Todd Peterson, in charge of personnel for the Student Center, has the responsibility for selecting a viewing schedule; Myron Youngman. Dir. of Campus Activities maintains final approval. Peterson aims for a balance in programming selection, even when what is chosen may not reflect the choice of the majority of viewers.
This moves the SC-TV away from a constant "sports and detec
tive show” format. Another factor, Youngmamstated. was that there seemed to have been a problem with the same group of people sitting in front of the television for three or four hours every night. Scheduled programming tends to alleviate this problem.
Another advantage of preselecting programs is that it gives faculty members the chance to encourage their students to view a program associated with a class or major.
Presently the SC-TV programming is only on a trial basis. Student reaction is being evaluated to determine the effectiveness of programming.
Peterson would like to see the* pre-selected programming concept continued because he believes it adds to the complete use of the Student Center. While not yet wanting to be locked into a structured format Youngman stated, "I'm not completely satisfied, but I think it's a move in the right direction."
Six foot television is one piece of equipment available at the Gavelyte deli.

Placement Center aims to locate student jobsAs June approaches, many stu
dents are confronted with questions pertaining to employment. To assist in answering these inquiries, Cedarville College has made the Placement Center available to students. It serves as a division of the Student Personnel Office under Donald Rickard, V.P. of Student Services.
As a service to students, David Gaffner, Dir. of Placement, helps students in finding "'employment off-campus, whether it be part- time work, a summer job or a career. Gaffner conducts various workshops to better prepare students looking for employment including resume writing, interviewing skills, effective job searching and job offer evaluation, bringing salary, budget needs and the Lord’s will into consideration.
The center maintains a library containing files, on companies, reference books, places of employment and, for those seeking to further their education before working, graduate school information.
According to Gaffner, the Placement Center also makes contacts with companies and employers to set up prospective interviews for students.
At the urging of Rickard and Martin Clark, Dir. of Counseling Services a committee was formed in the latter part of 1978 out of the President’s Associates with the purpose of creating a placement- center. The trustees gave the final okay to set up the program and budget.
Prior to this time, individual departments were in charge of assisting their students’ placement efforts.
Gaffner became director in September, 1981, and has many goals for the center's future.
The main goal he expressed was that of student involvement in using the placement library and contacts. Gaffner stated that there needs to be some thought put into curriculum and career objectives before April or May of the senior year. The key is to make an early,, effective job search instead of waiting until.the last possible moment.
Gaffner encourages students to organize and bring together some kind of career objective. According to Gaffner, a common fallacy is that the center is just for business students; it is not. All departments are included and encouraged to take advantage of the _ service Offered.
Other goals include continuing to grow and becoming better known on campus. Many students simply are not aware of the functions of the Placement Center or how to use it to bring career objectives into focus and to seek employment.
Last fall the first annual Career Day sponsored by the center, brought many different companies and employers onto campus to share with those interested. There was an excellent response from those employers who came. Gaff
ner stated that getting employers on the campus, even if only for a visit, is a positive step toward re
cruitment.
Gaffner stated that employers
have been impressed with the calibre of of student appearance and action on campus, and that students and their actions are a reflection upon the school’s standards. He was happy to add that so far the impressions have been very positive.
Gaffner related that it is a definite challenge to operate a placement service during a recession when companies are cutting back. He added that even though there is a tight job market, students need to be persistent and keep at it.
Representing a small liberal arts school also presents problems in setting up of recruitment dates. Gaffner reported, “We're not a well-known school. Many don’t know we exist.” “Whereas Cedarville College?” is a common question. However, after the contact sessions are completed, there is generally a positive reaction to the school's programs and curriculum.
One recruiter on campus mentioned perhaps our students should be more assertive, but Gaffner is reluctant to agree. He believes that competence and confidence are valuable, but assertiveness is not always a positive characteristic.
The Placement Center is staffed by Gaffner and Sharon Mackey. Mrs. Mackey is in charge of all correspondence, typing, filing, appointments and recordkeeping as well as assisting Gaffner in other functions of the center.
As director, Gaffner oversees the center and is often on the road making contacts and inviting employers to campus. Gaffner views getting off campus and interacting with different employers as a bonus for his position. He stated that it gives him a good opportunity to witness for the Lord.
The director counsels and reviews cover letters and resumes for students. Working closely with Hugh Hall, Dir. of Church Relations, the center also sends resumes for those interested in the pastorate. The center is not only available to present students at Cedarville, but serves graduates as well.
Gaffner is interested in any names of possible contacts of people in position to hire.
Coming workshops include “Doing and Effective Job Search” on March 2 and “Evaluating a Job Offer” on March 3.
Series on computers continues
Computers invade college campusesCPS-As Colleges rush into the
computer age, they are meeting some perplexing new-age problems of student security and crime.
Huge electronic erasures of student and faculty records have plagued some campuses, while others struggle with ways of keeping teacher-student relationships confidential.
At UCLA, for instance, two 17- yeai^olds broke into the university’s files and erased thousands of student transcripts and instructors’ files stored there.
Similarly, Lehigh Universtiy students were “cheated and robbed” of coursework stored in the Pennsylvania campus’s main computer when someone tampered with the machine last year. Students and instructors subsequently wasted “hundreds of hours putting the files back,” recalled Bob Wechsler, computing center director.
’“Right now, we still depend
mainly on words printed on paper to store and transmit information,” observes Doug Van Howeling, V.P. for computing and planning at Camegie-Mellon University. “But the computer is providing us with a totally new way of handling this information, and naturally with totally new problems in doing3 0 .”
One new problem is keeping pu- blically-available files private.- Last term, for example, Harvard students tried to convince administrators to regulate access to their electronically-stored study materials. The university allows student tutors to see academic files of their
charges.While the tutors may have legiti
mate reasons for looking at certain files, the students.argue their privacy rights have become precarious if the tutors should misuse them.
Such information is never totally safe, observers warn.
Guarding the information “is a human problem, not something caused by the computer itself,” notes Apple , Computers spokesman Stan De Vaughn.
“For every security system, there’s going to be someone working on a way to get around it. All students can do is save everything they do on their own discs and be very carefui who they give their passwords to.”
Privacy, however, “cannot be taken lightly,” adds IBM spokesman Bruce Schimming. “Universities are particularly sensitive to privacy and the concept of being passively observed and watched by some Big Brother-type system.”
“But,” he continues, “it’s the students who have the ability to control the system, and L don’t think many of them will be overcome by it.”
“Sure, it’s possible to get into someone else’s file,” says John Sutton, an Iowa State junior who regularly submits his work electronically to his instructors. “But it’s just as possible for someone to break into my dorm room and steal everything.”
Despite the- real concerns over security and the dramatic cases of large-scale electronic erasures, most student problems so far seem to concern getting either too much or too little of the new technology.
The editor of Toronto’ s Erindale College student paper got too much, almost losing his job for refusing to produce the paper on the school’s new computer system.
After arguing the system was not good or reliable enough to do the job, the editor finally got to keep his job, though not before being docked $60 to make up the cost of producing the paper the old way.

More typically, student are most upset about getting too little of the technology. Lines at campus computers are often long. At Idaho State, "it’s not unusual to have kids lined up three-deep to use a computer," says computer director Robert Watts.
At the State University of New York-Albany. 1500 students petitioned against administrators' spring, 1982.decision to cut back student hours at the computer center. Administrators explained they had to ban students during certain hours so administrators themselves would have time to use the machines.

Music major opts for medical service
Rick Dustin
Some Cedarville students experience difficulty in choosing a major. They enter college undeclared and remain in this state of limbo until, with friends, counselors and parents in a screaming panic, they randomly choose a field in which they feel remotely interested. They proceed to change that major two or three times. Then, they finally graduate some four to six years later with a faint assurance of the occupation they wish to pursue.
Twenty-two year old senior Rick Dustin does not fit into the category of the major-hopper. Dustin, who is a music education major with a proficiency in trumpet performance, explained his deep love for music, relating, “For me, living without music would be like living without air. I never ever thought about going into anything else.”
When considering a field of study, then, Dustin felt it only natural to pursue a music major. Dustin remembers that after some persuasion from his parents, he agreed to spend at least his freshman year at a Christian college. Although admittedly he "pulled a name out of a hat” when choosing Cedarville, the choice to him seemed confirmed when he heard Charles Pag- nard playing the trumpet during college week his freshman year. Reflecting on that event he recalled. “It was like God’s seal of assurance, / knew this is where I should be for the first year anyway.”
In the light of Dustin’s assurance regarding his musical pursuits, one might understandably wonder why he speaks of going into emergency medicine after graduation. Presently a member of
Health Service will sponsor their fourth series of CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) courses Feb. 2 1,22 and 24. Health Service noted that over 100,000 deaths a year could be prevented if people were versed in cardiopulmonary resuscitation; therefore, all students and staff members are encouraged to attend these sessions.
Not only will CPR be taught, but also the Heimlich maneuver, mouth-to-mouth and one-and two- man CPR for adults. Infant lifesaving techniques, such as choking rescue, mouth-to-mouth and CPR will also be taught.
The session, open to anyone, not only includes lectures, but films, practice sessions, practical demonstration and a written test.
The classes are free with the exception of the text’s $3.25 cost. Monday night’s class will run from 7-8 p.m. and the two remaining sessions will run from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.
Health Service nurses Penny Saunders, Brenda Boiey, and
the Cedarville College Emergency Medical Service, Dustin retells an event which he believes changed him and sparked his interest and love for emergency medicine.
Dec. 26, 1979, Dustin remembers, he went skiing in his home state of New York. On this particular afternoon he took a crushing 15 to twenty foot fall over a mogul, severely damaging his shoulder. That accident, he believes, caused him to realize a truth: “People get hurt all over the place," he began.
“Everytime somebody gets hurt everybody stands around and wishes someone knew what to do. That’s when I decided (after the accident) that I could either live with the fact that that’s how things are going to be or I could do something about it.” After this incident, Dustin in his junior year, took the

classes offered by Green Memorial Hospital in Xenia. Upon completion of the course he gained the status of Emergency Medical Technician.
"The more I got in it, the more I fell in love with it,” Dustin
ment refutes the concept of isolationism on two fronts. First, salt is a preservative. Helmut Thielicke of the University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, stated, “Our western world has become a world of decay and rottenness because that salt is lacking.” We are charged with preserving society. As long as we remain in our ghettos, in our cocoons, in our “salt shakers” we can not preserve society.
Thielicke also states, “Salt bites, and the unadulterated message of judgment of the grace of God has always been a biting thing - so much so that men have re
exclaimed. “I like interacting with people and helping them. And, the most appropriate time to help someone is when they can't help themselves.”
Defending his position, Dustin stated, “I didn't really change my interests. I just incorporated other areas.” He further explained, “I’ll go into emergency medicine; however, it may only be part-time, maybe volunteer.”
Dustin strongly refutes the statement that he is wasting his time obtaining a major he may not use. “For one thing, I may need it.” More importantly, Dustin related that he wanted to finish the major he started. “If I don’t get it. it would have always been hanging over my head. I would have always wondered, ‘Could I have gotten it?’.”
Furthermore, Dustin lists gifts of priceless value that the Lord has bestowed through his experience at Cedarville. Dustin confessed, "I don’t know where my life would be if I hadn’t have come to Cedarville. I also met a beautiful girl who will be my wife soon. Maybe I wouldn’t have met her otherwise.”
volted against it and even bitten back at it.”
My dear colleagues, we can not bite the sin of the world, so replete around us, if we adopt a policy of isolationism. Thielicke emphasizes that the Christian who remains in his salt cellar does two things. He loses his saltiness and he disobeys the word of the Holy God.
We have the lostness of a human race surrounding us. We have two options before us. The first, being chosen by far too many is to retreat as isolationists, remaining in the security of a “safe” community, while having the gaul to criticize
He continued, "Some of my closest friends are here. Also, I may have never gotten involved with emergency medicine. I would have never gotten a degree. You can’t put a price on things like that, not even after five years.”
Through his experience on the CCEMS, Dustin cites some concepts that he realized and holds essential when practicing emergency medicine. “You have to be sacrificial with your time; you can’t control when people get sick,” he stated.
“Also, you have to be cool, level-headed, and just do your best. That’s all anyone can ask.” He then affirmed, “Most importantly, I think, you have to have a love for people. If you don't love people, get out, period!”
He listed equality of people (not a respector of persons) and learning to work with people as additional lessons he learned.
He ended by drawing an analogy. “Christ is the Great Physician. And look at how many times people help other people in the Bible. Christianity and caring for others—the two go hand in hand.”
other Christians for petty things left to individual choice by God’s Word. In that ghetto, Christians stagnate in disobedience by not responding to the degradation that abounds around us.
Last weekend l saw men and women lost, nearly crying out to be stung by the salt of the gospel. I pray that I will have the courage to end my isolationism, choose this second option and with determination attack the challenge before me.
In my prayer I include my hope that God will send others to joinme.

Striving to meet spiritual and personal needs of students, Harold Green, V.P. of Christian-Services, is pastor of the Fellowship on campus. Green is aided in the task of ministering to students by the Advisory Seven. Together they work much like a pastor and deacon board for,the Fellowship, having no direct connections with the col-

lege as an educational institution. The group consists of Dave Carr, Chmn., Kirk Keller, Jon Stoner, Dave Averill, Bobby Shomo, Dave Black and Dave Jones.
According to Green, the Advisory Seven is specifically concerned with those who attend the Fellowship. However, since there is such a flexibility in regular attendee , the Advisory Seven includes the student body in its ministries.
They primarily seek to offer the students a place to worship while they are away from home. The seven men are in charge of arranging speakers (most often students) for the Sunday School classes and for services, with Green usually speaking on Sunday mornings.
Currently, they have scheduled Edward Spencer for a three-week series'during Sunday evening services. As it ministers lo students.

trying to improve attitudes held by those attending Fellowship.
The board desires to see a proper spirit of worship as the students enter the meetings, but believe many seem to equate the services with daily chapel. This attitude may result in a lack of interest or participation in worship. Green states that, although Fellowship is not a local church which offers baptism, membership and communion, the Seven regards it as a sanctuary conducive to spiritual growth and worship of God.
Secondly, the Advisory Seven_ desires to meet the individual need of Cedarville students by showing interest and by praying for specific problems. One way the men do this is by sending notes and cards.
Another method is the prayer chain. Carr, as chairman, receives requests from students, faculty and staff and passes them on to the others who have specific student contacts. As the request is relayed, it is taken to God by the participating students. By these means the Advisory Seven does its best to replicate the compassion ministry ot a local church.
As it organizes the Fellowship services, the Advisory Seven is in charge of soilg-leading, announcements and offerings. It also determines the appropriation of monies given by students for God's work, often using it for specific needs brought to their attention.
Another responsibility each member has is that of speaking in services. Members are required to-
be at' 70% of all Fellowship services.
Shomo stated that many students believe the Advisory Seven is also responsible for disciplinafy action. The group, he said, has nothing lo do with problems of this nature.
The board meets each Wednesday at 7 ,a.m. Any interested student may attend these meetings. During this time prayer needs and means of service are shared.
As most of these men are preseminary or Bible comprehensive majors, Shomo believes that the experience of participating in the Seven may be especially practical. He stated that there is a “reward of vital experience in working together under a pastor"
More immediate rewards include, according to Shomo. “seeing spiritual progress and blessing in the lives of individuals." Green has enjoyed seeing the growth in the lives of the seven men working under him he commented. He has seen many previous members of the group go into the ministry and
mentioned specifically three front the original Advisory board who are now pastors in Ohio.
Green has been at Cedarville leading the Fellowship since 1970. When he first came, the Student Personnel Office gave him a crossrepresentation of the student body in a group of 12 advisors who helped him structure the Fe-llow- ship. This Advisory Twelve consisted of each class chaplain, the student body chaplain and two more students from each class.
Three years ago the group was limited to seven members because twelve proved too many. The members are now nominated by the student body, screened by the active Advisory Seven and then elected by the student body. Their terms run from spring quarter through the following winter quarter.
Besides being reduced in si/.e. the group has changed its amount of service. Green explained. The members have developed a greater participation: “they are far more active and more visible." he stated.
Pope changes Catholic law
During the last week of January the Roman Catholic Church pub- 1 ished a revised code of canon faw. Designed to reflect the reforms of Vatican Council II, the statements of the canon are the result of nearly twenty years of intensive work by Vatican lawyers and theologians.
The new legal code envisions the Roman Catholic Church as a community of believers with rights and obligations within their church. The canon discourages the traditional view of Romanism as a hierarchical system executively governed solely by the Pope.
As a result of the new interpretations of Catholic doctrine, the laity is given much greater opportunity to serve within the church. Lay ministers may now handle all but a few sacramental functions which previously were the sole responsibility of the clergy. Women now have almost equal status with men in the Church as a result of the canon. Women are now granted the right to serve as business managers, judges on diocesan courts and lay ministers. Newsweek quoted Rev. James Provost,.executive coordinator of the Canon
Law Society of America: "The new code is a compromise document, but running throughout its 1.752 canons you'll find a whole new way of thinking about the church as a bonding of the faithful, not as a spiritualized civil government."
Though the revised canon falls short of the expectations of liberal Catholics, it does establish in writing for the first time several important tenets of the Catholic Church. The rights of Catholics to the sacraments, to a fair hearing by church officials and to an education in the faith are each faithfully stated in the new canon. Conservative Catholics should be interested to note legal changes which seem to indicate a return to centralized power in Rome.
The far-reaching results of the new canon can only be speculated upon, but the willingness of the Roman Catholic Church to compromise and to reform certain practices which have attracted the criticism of being out of step with the times, provides an interesting perspective on modern Catholic ideology.

G W U ups tuition for im age sCPS-Georee Washington Uni- their educations than do students at state is collecting less tax money later in the.year.CPS-George Washington Uni
versity may soon raise its tuition not to raise more money, but to enhance its reputation.
GW consultant Howard Holcomb recommended that "without apology" the university should charge "much higher tuition” based not on the university's need for money "but on the quality of education" at GW.
GW is currently enjoying "good financial standing." a campus spokeswoman says.
But higher tuition, Holcomb said in his report, would heljr erase the school's "image problem." GW President Lloyd Elliott hired Holcomb last spring to examine GW's "internal and external image.” Holcomb concluded in his study that, in the words of spokeswoman Jane Lingo, GW "was worth more than the tuition we were charging.”
Despite being at a "ranking world university," Holcomb wrote. GW students tend to disparage the school.
Holcomb attributed student grumbling to GW being "a non- rural campus, the lack of a football team and the fact that many students had as their first choice one of the Ivy League schools. The students, "he added, "tend to be cynical."
Lingo suspects GW students really don't complain more about
other schools, but the carping does hurt the image of a university struggling to establish its reputation as one of the best in the country.
GW is priced below other private schools in Washington, but above private colleges nationally.
Full-time GW undergrads are paying $4900 in tuition this year, compared to $5750 at Catholic University, $6200 at American University and $6830 at Georgetown, Lingo reports. Average tuition at four-year private colleges nationwide is $4021, according to arecent College Board study.
Students at most schools, public and private, are being asked to pay more for less obscure reasons. Decreased federal and state higher education funding forced at least a dozen schools into emergency mid-year tuition hikes, last December to meet institutional bills, a College Press Service survey of February. 1982 found.
Administrators blame declining state revenues most often for presenting them with a choice of either cutting services or raising tuition.
A recent Education Commission of the States survey discovered administrators expect state funding to continue to lag behind inflation at least through 1985.
Georgia colleges, noting that the
than it expected, last week agreed not to spend $14 million of their budgets until the recessions's impact on the state becomes clearer
The result of such fiscal uncertainties, summarizes. Penn State budget director Loren Furtado, is that "the burden for paying for
higher education over the last ten years has fallen disproportionately on the students and their families."

Name this child...For the enjoyment of the student body,
faculty, staff, administrators and their families the Senate Food Service Comm, and Student Personnel Office are sponsoring "Faces" during T.W.LR.P. (The Woman is Responsible to Pay) Week.
Many exciting and unusual events will highlight "Faces." There will be clowns, music, balloons and games. So girls—prepare to ask that favorite man out for an evening of fun.
A special feature for this event will be “Recipes from Home.” During the past quarter student’s parents have been sending their child’s favorite recipe to be used by Pioneer Food Service. Starting T.W.LR.P. Week and continuing on into spring quarter, a. student's fayorite recipe might be featured.
Also included in the Feb. 22 special event will be “make your own sundaes.” Your ^favorite” Resident Advisor will help assist you with selection of such toppings as M&M’s, Sprinkles, canned whipped cream, nuts and sauces.
"Faces” is coming on Feb. 22, during the regular dinner hours.
Besides special recipes, the “Faces" Food special will offer a glimpse into the past of fellow students, as well as administrators. Pictures like this one of Edd Sturdevant will he displayed in the cafeteria during the special meal. ■

Intramurals more than competitionSki trips, aerobics, basketball,
volleyball, softball, the class clash,..... And the list goes on. Last year offering nearly forty events, the Recreational/Intramural division of the Campus Activities Dept, strives to provide a variety of activities which will meet the needs of every student, according to the program’s director, Mark McDougal.
Myron Youngman, Dir. of Campus Activities, explained that the Recreational/Intramural section of his department fulfdls part of the office’s purpose to provide “a program of cultural, social, educational and recreational activities.” The program has expanded considerably in the past three years since it became a part of his department, Youngman con
tinued. Intramurals previously were handled part-time by Dick Walker, Dean of Men, while now it is directed by one full-time and two part-time staff members.
Development has occured in staff, participants and programs. Presently McDougal works fulltime in this area with two assistants, Byron Clemens and Ann Berger. McDougal explained that Clemens primarily helps with scheduling, while Miss Berger assists by attending to most of the clerical duties. McDougal reported that he is involved, as well, in scheduling events and obtaining officials for competitive events.
Also aiding in the program this quarter are Kent Simpson, who acts as statistician for the men’s basketball program, and Jim

1 “I’m trying more and more to put a student in the area of liaison,” McDougal remarked, adding later that he often gets student feedback through them.
Participation totals, McDougal explained, are very difficult to compile, since some individuals are involved in more than one event and get counted two or three times. Last year’s single activity generating the most interest, however, was the co-ed volleyball tournament.
McDougal found that this was the event which caused the most chatter around campus. “Because it was co-ed, it was a good social activity,” He explained.
Other fall quarter events which included ■ large groups were a hayride with 172 attendants, flag football with 168 players and women’s volleyball with 153 participants. Men’s basketball involved the greatest number last winter quarter with 180 men participating in the B-league and 100 in the A-league.
In the spring 260 played softball on men’s teams, 104 played on women’s teams, and 180 played on co-ed teams.
Officials constitute yet another group of participants. These individuals receive $2 per game officiated unless licensed by the state in which case they earn $2.50.
“Anyone who Has an interest can probably be involved,” McDougal commented, continuing that they are working on giving officials more identity as a group within the entire program. Some intramural
referees and umpires, he added, continue to use this acquired knowledge and experience later to officiate junior nigh or high schoolgames.
The low payment for refereeing is “one drawback of officiating here.” McDougal stated, however, their present budget does not allow larger expenditiures in this area.
As suggested by the hayride, however, Recreational/Intramur- als includes more than competitive sports.
This quarter’s class clash, as well as the new aerobics classes, was organized by this division of Campus Activities.
Aerobics, McDougal noted, “started off with a bigger bang than we ever expected.” This was also an effort to help balance the opportunities for. women’s involvement with that of the men, although men may attend these classes, he included.
Other program additions include a C-league in men’s basketball for those interested in playing on a less competitive basis, a handball clinic, a mixed doubles indoor tennis tournament, officiatingclinics......And again the list goeson.
One of McDougal’s goals for future programs is to offer more individual activities. Aerobics is one example since consistent attendance is not required. Scheduled open running time is another.
While on one hand hoping to continue to add new programs, McDougal also wants to improve and solidify present activities. Communication exhibits one area about which Youngman and

McDougal noted efforts to improve tn response to students commenting that they didn’t know when their games were scheduled.
Other student input, McDougal related, refers primarily to particular events. He receives comments when an event is especially good or when officiating in a particular game didn't appear satisfactory.
General reaction is gathered through surveys completed by students. One survey taken last spring, for instance, asked students to select activities in which they were most interestd. Generating the most response on this were canoeing, horseback riding, sailing and swimming.
While all activities students desire cannot be planned, McDougal encourages students to take advantage of a file of local recreational facilities in the office. “If we don’t have the information, we’ll get it for them,” he re: marked.
Youngman estimated that the entire program, including full-time and part-time salaries, costs $18,000-20,000. This money in part comes from the Student Services fee. Officiating and awards claim the largest expenses from the budget after salaries, according to McDougal.
“Equipment is surprisingly low,” McDougal asserted, explaining that they have a good relationship with the Athletic Dept, in this area and that their equipment is well taken care of.
“We’re trying to squeeze in as much as possible,” McDougal concluded, emphasizing his desire that everyone can get involved in some activity

Baseball team to warm during Florida outing
While most of us will be going home over spring break, the baseball team will be heading to sunny Florida. First year head coach Mark Matthews and his crew will arrive in Florida on Sat..March 12. The team has a schedule of six games over the next nine days, playing in Clearwater,Ocala, and Jacksonville. They will leave Florida on March 21.
Coach Matthews is looking forward to spring training, for the team will be able to perform under regular game situations. Also,Matthews hopes to work on game philosophy, using more hit and run, bunts and squeeze plays.This is something that the team is unable to do in the gym.
Baseball conditioning began shortly after Christmas break. The fundamentals of the game were
Cedarville dropped a 79-70 decision to Tiffin Saturday night, their third loss in a row. With this win Tiffin stands at 6-3 in the MOC, while Cedarville drops to 4- 5 in conference play. David Carr was high scorer for the Yellow Jackets with 20 points, followed by John Srnis at 18. The majority of Tiffin's points were scored by Elmore Jackson and Frank Carto with 32 and 22 points respectively.
Tiffin jumped out to an early 7-0 lead before Cedarville could get their first bucket to fall, through what seemed to be tight rims. Later on in the game, a David Can- jumper tied it up, 20 all with 9:37 left in the first half. Srnis then put the Jackets up 22-20, but Tiffin regained the lead and held it for the remainder of the first half.

emphasized as well as individual drills for positions, as well as hitting and throwing skills. The entire infield is back from last year, mak
ing for a strong defense. Most of the outfield positions, however, are still “up for grabs” at this time.
Matthews is a 1982 Alumnus.
GWU tuition continuedTwo weeks ago, for example, the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board proposed to make all state college students—regardless of their ability to pay-pay half their education costs to qualify for any financial aid from the state.
The measure is one of a legion of somewhat exotic new tuition proposals aimed to help colleges pay their bills while keeping college within students’ financial reach.
To raise cash, Marquejte now allows students to pay for more
/'than one year at a vtime, but exempting them from any tuition increases, Hope College lets students pay off tuition monthly. Still other schools are selling short-term tuition insurance policies to be cashed in as fees come due.
However, payments are scheduled, few schools have been able tp avoid raising their fees. Northern Michigan students are paying 12%. more this year. In Wisconsin, tuition is up 15%. City University of New York campuses raised tuition 16% this fall to compensate for an $18 million shortfall in state funds.
Southern Methodist’s is up a full 20.7% over last year. Maryland has already approved a 9% hike for 1983.
Students protest sometimes. 'Claiming Pennsylvania was "punishing working class students” with a $230 tuition hike, the Commonwealth Association of Students sued to stop the increase. A judge ruled against the students in early September.
Last spring. University of Puerto Rico students shut down their university for four months in
protest of a tuition hike.Closer to George Washington,
3100 American University students demonstrated last February over this year’s tuition hike.
GW student reaction to the proposed cosmetic hike has been loud but rhetorical, according to Lingo. “Students have shown a lot of interest in it. I think they realize sometimes it’s good to take stock of where you are.”
The. GW Board of Trustees will discuss the proposal later this month.
Kirk Fairhurst eves a shot.Shortly before half, the lights
went out for Cedarville, literally, evidently, a bank of lights went out. At the end of the half, Cedarville was down 42-36 and Tim Danube had picked up three early fouls. With Tim Pryor out due to an ankle injury and Danube in foul trouble, the Jackets lacked some of the stfength to which they are accustomed.
The second half seesawed throughout. With 6:22 to go in the game, John Srnis when he was fouled after the shot converted a one and one to complete a four point play, putting Cedarville up 61-58. However, Tiffin quickly went ahead to stay, outscoring the Jackets by a large margin in the, final moments of the game.
The Jackets broke their three game losing streak with an exciting 67-64 win over the Urbana Blue Knights on Tuesday night. Although the visitors outrebounded the home team by ten in the first half/ the Jackets still pulled out to

•the court, the team picked up.Until the final two minutes of
play, the second half looked much like the first. As the fans’ excitement increased, the Cedarville team intensified efforts with Urbana falling under the pressure.
Climactically, late in the saecond half, John Modderman gave the team needed momentum and the lead. Overall, however, shooting from the line lacked as the Blue and Gold hit only twenty of 31 attempts. Urbana hit ten of their 16 free throws.
The bench proved valuable with Tim Pryor still out of,the line-up, hoping to return to the court for Saturday’s game at Mt. Vernon.
Tim Danube topped the scoring chart with 19 points. Carr folowed with 15, while John Srnis contributed 12. Modderman hit nine, Tom Greve threw in eight, and Kirk Fairhurst scored four.
This victory leave the team at 5- 5 in the Mid-Ohio Conference. Their loss dropped Urbana to 2-8. With four regular season games remaining on the schedule, the Jackets move on with a 14-10 overall record.

Performing selections form “Merry Wives of Windsor,” "Rigoletto,” “The Crucible” and "Die Fledermaus” during the first half of the program, the company exhibited a pleasant balance. The Ensemble took us from scene to scene with only minor changes in costume and props but created major changes in the moods presented.
“The Crucible” was an excellent example of how effective opera can be. The plot line of Robert Ward’s novel is well-known, but in the musical setting-the characters “came alive," leaving a long-lasting impression.

had done away with winter quarter, this would never have happened.
I will say, however, aside from all my slams on this quarter, that there seems to be a period of low spirits and waning enthusiasm around the middle of each quarter.

It's always right around midterms, when one student says to another, "I have a chemistry exam tomorrow, -and I haven't even begun studying/ and, without a break in thought, the other says, "1 wonder how long it took that cockroach to die'in that taco.”
This quarter’s low spot is not really more severe; we just take longer to. recover from it. The period that seems like a chuckhole in other seasons appears to be a dark, slimy pit right now, and if we looked hard enough, we could almost see rats scurrying around our feet.
Perhaps because I've been making such a constant joke of this, season I have been able to take it a little better. As I’ve talked to a number of my friends, however, I’ve become convinced that this quarter and these weeks of despair are no joke to them.
Studies seem endless; recitals loom frighteningly close; slipping grades seem hopelessly lost; severe disappointments that we cannot understand keep hitting us one after another.
Right now. the thought of pursuing a career seems a little stupid; the effort to try to solve that roommate problem seems too great to attempt; the words that you snapped out when you were tired seem harsh and totally unforgivable.
Bluntly speaking, life appears to be a mess.
Some of you may not be fighting the battle-of discouragement. For those of you who are. however, just remember this: we will make it through the next four weeks.
I have no pious phrases, no stock consolation, no gentle pats on the back with the phrase, “all things work together." No. all I have is sympathy and encouragement.
Last year during my ten-week pit of despair. I confided to a friend that I was struggling with loneliness-one .of the most devastating feelings imaginable. For some reason, she felt compelled to assume the back-slapping, “everything works together” attitude which would have been commendable had she followed it up with real earing, a real desire to help a fellow believer through a hard time.
As one modern philosopher succinctly commented. “Kind words never die. but without kind deeds they get very sick.”
Intercessory prayer founded on real caring for others will ease tis all through the next few weeks. Even though time is at a minimum for a lot of us. just insisting on taking time to listen to. to pray with our most precious earthly commodity—our friends—may be the final tug on the rope that will hoist someone out of the slough of despond .
Keep plugging. Or. as President Reagan would say, stay the course- -you will make it.

“Miracles happen here” announces the sign at the entrance to the office where students compile the volume anticipated yearly by- returning collegians. The preparation for this volume, the college’s yearbook, the Miracle, involves about twenty people with planning initiated over a year in advance.
The individual who contributes the most hours is the book’s editor, Bryan Armstrong. Armstrong coordinates the efforts of the staff in an attempt to create what he views a “history picture book. ”
Armstrong defined their purpose as “to capture and record a year of history.” Noting that they don’t make statements or take stands, Armstrong continued that the Miracle staff aims to include in each book "everything that makes Cedarville College special to you.”
One specific goal is to include photos of as many people on campus as possible. The editor explained that while some people are easy to include because they’re so visible, the challenge comes in capturing on film those who just go to classes and hang around the dorms.
. He continued that individuals like Ron Hobar, who incidently claimed the most space in the index, seem to be everywhere; they’re the people who are easy to include.
Staff photographer and darkroom worker Dan Snyder confirmed this remark further defining their purpose as “to provide a book that represents a cross-section of the college and to highlight the events of the year.”
Snyder commented that he notices students, when they first receive their book, glancing through to see if their picture is somewhere other than on their class page. “It makes them feel important,” he remarked.
Getting this “picture history book” out to the students involves efforts beginning with the editor selecting design concepts, deciding what will be included and where it will be placed. Armstrong related that he had began concentrated efforts on the 1983 Miracle last August after attending to final details of the 1982 volume through July.
The work for the ’82 book, though, was not fully completed until the books were picked up at the publisher’s in Tennessee and distributed to the students during registration week..
After graduating in June, Armstrong explained that he will carry his editor’s responsibilities until mid-September when he will complete the final proofs.
Ideas for the Miracle’s design come from magazines, other school’s yearbooks and the
editor's imagination.Armstrong remarked that the
’83 book will include concepts he has viewed in Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated.
“There are no new ideas,” he asserted.
Armstrong hopes that students will receive this year’s book during next fall’s registration week. Senior books will be mailed no later than October. He continued that students can expect more color and “maybe a few new sections ” but is keeping the rest a secret.
The staff, which meets weekly to plan and prepare the pages, includes photographers, darkroom workers and general staff personnel who complete layouts and write copy. Responsibility is the major trait the editor expects in his staff.
Being on the staff, he explained, demands time from studies and obligations to meet deadlines. Most staff members put in.about two to four hours a week on their sections. His sister Cindy, who handles secretarial duties, puts in a few more, "and I probably put in 25 to thirty a week.” Armstrong reported.
About 90% of the staff has had previous experience with high school yearbooks or newspapers and about half of those have what he qualified as "good experience:" He emphasized, though, "If they’re responsible. 1 can train them to be good.”
Staff member Shelly Frank explained that she was an editor on her high school staff and wanted to get involved here after seeing last year’s book and its quality.
“I'm learning better, more effective ways of doing layouts." she commented, further noting that she has continued to be impressed with the book, after seeing theorganiza- tion instituted by the editor.
His experience with a yearbook, like Miss Frank’s began in high school. Having an excellent advisor, Armstrong reported that he learned all he knows about yearbook there. Currently he is advised by Patsy Dixon and his publisher's area field representative.
“She’s a sharp lady,” Armstrong remarked, describing Mrs. Dixon. “Anything she’s going to do will be quality.”
"At the moment she’s feeling her way,” he continued, explaining that she is unfamiliar with much of the procedure since this is her first year with the book. "In the future years as she learns more, she will be more involyed,” he added.
Their publisher, Josten’s, has a field representative for this area from whom Armstrong can gain input. He explained that the representative tells him what he can do and cannot do and works out prices. “I really appreciate him a
Bryan Armstrong, yearbook editor
lot,” he commented.Pricing involves a base cost with
additions for special cover designs, end sheets, full color, spot color and additional pages. Meeting deadlines and sending color sections to the publisher early result in cost reductions.
Each student pays $ 16.65 for his book through his student services fee. The book actually costs about $23. though. Armstrong explained that the difference is made up by receipts from commercial advertisements, church advertisements and parent patrons. He hopes to add a church patron section to accomodate local churches which wish to help but can’t afford a full ad.
A sponsorship program is also under consideration which will involve a business sponsoring a section or a block of color. Small amounts of money also come in from book sales to faculty and
staff, and this year the senior class will contribute toward the color used in their section.
He admits, however, that he could always use more money. “1 would love to do a lull-color. 500- page book.” lie noted, but finances limit.him.
Cedarville College, though, through the Student Services Fee, offers him an ideal marketing situation. “1 don’t have to sell the book, it’s already sold.” He added that many larger colleges and universities in the area, due to lack of interest and other marketing problems, have smaller accounts with Josten’s than he does.
He also explained the Cedarville student cooperation during the shooting of Class photos has developed into a good relationship with the professional photographer who works for him.
Armstrong notes that this photographer spends more time with in
dividuals while taking pictures here since he doesn’t have to put up with the verbal abuse he would receive from students at schools like Central State or the University of Dayton..
He also noted appreciation for the support received from Clifford Johnson, Academic V.P.
In the-process of getting last year’s book to the publisher, Armstrong, with a smile, remembered several unusual experiences. “There have been so many that I wouldn’t want to count them." he remarked.
In many of these situations, he recalled, he had done something wrong and the Lord worked it out for him.
One specific incident he remembered. though, wasn't his fault. At one group photo session a person who wasn’t a student got into the picture. Having recorded all of their names, Armstrong left the group of about fifty for the office.
After the picture was printed and included on a page layout, indexing began. Indexing is when each appearance of a person's name in the book is matched with his name in the back. The non-student name, however, wasn't on any student lists he"could find.
After spending a great deal of time chasing down leads and holding up following procedures. Armstrong, finally found someone who could explain how this individual got into the picture. "It wasn’t amusing at the time, but now I have to laugh.” the editor noted, explaining that he believed the incident wouldn't have occurred had the people involved realized the extra work it would involve for him.
Hesitating to cite specific problems of being an editor. Armstrong asserted. "For the most part, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "
He questions whether his work is noticed sometimes when students don’t show up for group pic: tures or fail to cooperate at the session. but again stated. "For the most part. I appreciate what we get from the students.’'
“It’s not always easy getting stuck in this office." he joked as piano practice went on overhead and the ceiling creaked under each footstep. He appeared comfortable, though, in the low-ceilinged room w ith two fish tanks gurgling and Garfield comic strips and posters tacked around the room.
He cited that he has learned a lot about disciplining his time, dealing with people and managing a budget.
"Miracles happen here" proclaims the sign on the Ambassador Hall basement door. Well, at least the Miracle happens here.
