This Artist Series production is the first of its kind to appear on campus, according to Myron Youngman. Campus Activities Dir. Y'oungman reports that the ‘’roup comes highiv recom­mended.

Their brochures describe the A. D. Players as "a Christian theatre company dedicated to sharing God’s work and Word through the medium of drama.” Their current portfolio includes nearly twenty plays ranging in duration from five to 45 minutes

They claim the Bible to be their manuscript from which . they “transfer Biblical truths, stories

work from audition readings and script interpretations to final re­hearsal runs," states one brochure. Mrs. George founded the organi­zation in 1967 to "involve drama students in the Word of God and to express to others the validity of the Bible today."

The producer claims a back­ground in stage and film perfor-

2 Cedars-March 31, - editorial

Professors reply to editorial

Faculty and students occasion­ally have distinctly different views on some issues.

Shortly after we published an editorial urging a single, unified stylebook for the college, profes­sors Rex Rogers and Charles Dolph contacted us about printing a faculty perspective on the issue.

We are proud to present their thoughts, even though we remain convinced that one specified man­ual of style for research papers is preferable to the current system.

Ironically, the only changes made in the manuscript presented to us by Rogers and Dolph are those conforming it to our style manual, the Los Angeles Times Stylebook.

An editorial appeared recently in the Cedars arguing for the in­stitution of a single stylebook for use in writing research papers. The article suggested that the present stylebook diversity leads to confu­sion, frustration, needless expense and even lower grades.

The editors contended that the institution of a single manual would be easier to handle, reduce costs, allow more time for writing and editing and free professors from the drudgery of correcting style errors.

We are quite sensitive and em- pathetic to the “process” difficul­ties stemming from Cedarville’s stylebook status quo. Both of us have only too recently survived the ravages of four years at Cedarville, two or three years dedicated to achieving a master’s degree and some four years devoted to doc­toral study and dissertation work.

We openly confess that there were times when we felt confused. Trustrated and poor as well as a few periods when we faced the trauma of a lower than desired grade. As more than one sage has noted, “Higher education is 80% perse­verance and 20% intelligence.” At best, “It ain’t easy.”

A suggestion designed to elimi­nate one more hassle deserves careful attention. In this light, we believe it is appropriate to recog­nize and discuss a number of nega­tive factors associated with a move toward one stylebook.

First, educational considera­tions might include a re-examina- tion of one of the fundamental ob­jectives of a four-year liberal arts program. Traditionally this experi­ence has been designed to broaden the students’ horizons by exposing them to as many new and challeng­ing ideas as possible.

Broadened horizons are in­tended to produce valuable charac­ter traits such as openness, adapta­bility and competence. Graduate and professional schools still re­quire a diversity of research, infor­mation gathering and organiza­tional skills. Introduction of single stylebook; while “easier to han-

Media abuses demand viewer, reader reactionIt demands a reaction.Right now, the American news

media may be the single most in­fluential force on our shores. In the early evening preceding Johnny Carson, in the early morning and now throughout the night, the net­works bombard the airwaves with their brand of news.

Daily, local and national news­papers boast headlines of the day's events. Magazines, ranging from the quasi-conservative U,S. News to the left-wing The Nation, offer more in-depth perspectives of the nation's key events.

But the media is not a neutral, purely observational force. It can­not remain entirely balanced on some issues. It refuses to censor it­self. in short, it demands a reac­tion.

Two WHMA personnel, cameraman Ron Simmons and 18- year-old technician Gary Harris, responded after phoning Jackson­ville. Ala. police no less than three times,. Their goal, according to Simmons, was to get video of the police subduing this apparently disturbed, drunk, unemployed roofer who wanted to make a state­ment about the plight of the un­employed.

Andrews, on the third try. ig­nited his clothing. After 37 sec­onds. the camera ..stopped, police nowhere in sight.

Within seconds. Andrews was doused by a volunteer fireman aided by the camera workers.

The station used about two sec­onds of the footage on their 11 p.m. broadcast.

Five days later, March 9, The New York Times front-paged the incident. That night, all three net­works used large portions of the grotesque footage. On March 14, ABC’s Nightline used all of the footage; as they asked some very pointed questions about the inci­dent. Those questions demand an answer.

Why was WHMA so willing to give a deranged man a suicidal forum? Why did the networks

Sympathy...As tragedy again strikes our

campus in form of the death of Tom Blackburn's mother, we are reminded of the miraculous prom­ise of God’s strength being made perfect in our weakness.

As spoken in a recent Wednes­day night chapel message, we realize that, when all we have is washed a<Vay in the tide of distress, we must bring all that we have—our faith in God—and fay that at the feet of our Fortress. We extend our sympathy and encouragement to this student and his family.

deem it appropriate to use the foot­age five days later? Is the Ameri­can media too powerful in this re­gard? Would incidents like- this occur without video coverage ?

Whatever else can be deter­mined from the outcome of the Jacksonville/Anniston incident,several things are readily apparent.

First, there are times when it is simply inexcusable for a jour­nalist-print, audio or video-to re­main a passive observer to a situa­tion. This is an example of total ab­rogation of the overriding human responsibility of saving a life.

Second, the serious question of "What is News’’ is raised. Time asked stations to determine when it would be appropriate "not to treat an appalling but meaningless event as if it were news.”

Finally, a very personal, not- too-loudly asked question seems appropriate. How do we and how should we react to media that in­sists on this type of inexcusable sensationalism?

These questions intensify further in light of a television

drama, "Special Bulletin" aired by NBC-TV on March 20. This dramatization of .the destruction of Charleston. S .C .. by five terrorists who were given a national forum by a network TV reinforced the po­tential influence of disturbed indi- viduals'by the national media.

In "Bulletin” five terrorists de­manded the decomissioning of over 900 warheads in the Charles­ton area through a feed from an imaginary network affiliate in Charleston.

Eventually. Charleston was des­troyed by the nuclear bomb con­structed by the terrorists from sto­len plutonium. The realistic por­trayal of fictional events brought a great deal of criticism from NBC- News. as well as causing the necessity for multiple audio and vi­sual disclaimers during the broad­cast .

The dramatization's effective­ness reinforces the questions al­ready asked and intensifies our need for reaction to apparent and potential media abuses.

Love m o tiva tes coup le to open hom eWhile the outside of the house

on Creamer Drive may not appear particularly striking, inside reside three people full of love for college students. Health Center Dir. Betty Bertschinger and her parents, Ernie and Martha White, better'known as “Gramps and Gram,” live there.

Students who go there regularly claim that their love is evident. Gram and Gramps say that love is their primary motivation for con­tinually opening their home to stu­dents. “We count it as a ministry,” Gramps explained, adding that many who come need someone to talk to or need a “spiritual lift-up.”

A number of students visit them regularly to relax and talk, each with their own stories about Gramps. Linda Ford describes Gramps as the “boisterous, opinionated” one, Grams as being more quiet and Mrs. Bertschinger as “wise.”

Evenings at this “home-away- from-home,” as Gramps terms it, vary depending on the people there, which could be anywhere from one to thirty. Sara Bumes, who also visits regularly, noted that she always finds popcorn and drinks and sometimes television, games or just talk.

“We don’t have anything fancy,” Gramps remarked, “It doesn’t amount to a great deal of money.”

"Gram"

Miss Bumes explained, though, that they are “very generous,” and “giving of anything they have.”

Of course, there’s the red chair. Gramps explains that many couples meet from his matchmak­ing on the red chair, and his daugh­ter agreed to his success in this

area. When a guy and girl he would like to see together, both come, he introduces them and makes sure that they sit together in his red chair.

Then there’s Charlie, the large black rubber spider which Gramps likes to hide in the ice bin or drop over unsuspecting shoulders.

Miss Bumes, Miss Ford and other regular visitors talk about Gramps’ “corny jokes.” They’re not even funny, and he knows they’re not!” Miss Ford explained. “But he tells them anyway,” claims another.

“I steal their youth,” Gramps quipped.

In the winter a fireplace crackles often; when warmer weather ar­rives the swimming pool opens. Splitting wood for the fireplace and keeping the pool clean provide opportunities for students to give some of their time to the family. Miss Ford noted that they often help clean the house and do other chores for Gram.

“If I need help I’ve got a bunch I can call on,” Gramps asserts. In re­turn. Gram noted that men often bring sewing for her to do or come to use tools.

Most become acquainted with

Gram and Gramps through friends who take them over. Gramps re­marked that he doesn’t know by name many of those who come, but he “loves them all anyway.”

The Whites have lived in Cedar- ville for ten years. Before they re-

"G ramps"tired, they lived in Martin’s Ferry, Ohio a small coal and steel mill town near the Ohio River, where they worked in Sunday School

Grier describes n e w positionTeleological suspension of the

ethical. Epistemological self-con­sciousness. Anti-revelational scheme of the Kantian noumenal.

These are just a few examples of the terminology which was quite common to Cedarville College until this year because they are philosophical terms which presup­pose instruction in philosophy.

Until the 1982-83 academic year James M. Grier filled the post of assoc, prof, of Philosophy at Cedarville College. At the close of that school year, Grier accepted an offer of the position of Dean of Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Another case of “Prof, leaves small college to move on to bigger and better things, never to be seen again,” right? Wrong.

Grier recently returned to cam­pus, Feb. 15-17, lecturing in the Staley Foundation Distinguished Christian Scholar Lectureship. He presented “A Christian Philosophy of Apologetics.” Student reaction varied from, “It was great” to “over my head” to “who is this man?”

The major change which Grier faced as he assumed his new posi­tion at the seminary was increased administrative duties. Grier stated that he is involved in budget plan­ning, acquisition of faculty and de­velopment and refinement of cur­riculum, all of which provide “an excellent challenge.”

Grier seemed especially pleased that he is involved in working with a very mature faculty at the west­ern Michigan seminary. He speaks highly of their ability to make wise decisions based on group counsel and discussion.

Grier explained that because "any decision that has to be made in which others will be involved guarantees that [all concerned par­

ties] will have a part in the decision making process.”

Grier admits that he is in the midst of a learning process. He would like to see further develop­ment and curriculum refinement, especially in the area of philosophical theology.

He also would like to see the stu­dents wed academic excellence with practical performance. Through this he hopes to leave a heritage from which future gener­ations may build and benefit.

Throughout his career, Grier has been directly involved in the GARBC. Through college, semi­nary, pastoral and teaching experi­ences, he has identified several needs with the Association. He ar­ticulated three primary goals through which these needs could be met.

First, he would like to see a bet­ter educated ministry with men who can competently exegete Scripture. Second, he would like to see the GARBC make a solid contribution to theological schol­arship which would include the production of good exegetical works in defense of their stance on eschatology and separatism.

Third, Grier desires to' see in men a willingness to serve Christ and do Kingdom-work regardless of any extrinsic financial factors;

he wants men to serve God for the sake of obedience and not for mon­etary increase.

All in all, Grier is very comfort­able yet challenged at Grand Rap­ids Baptist Seminary. Since there are more than thirty Cedarville graduates at the seminary he also feels quite at home. He views Cedarville College very positively and plans to continue cordial re­lationships.

Grier related that he and his wife Shirley completed the move to Grand Rapids with relative ease, becoming accustomed to the area quickly. Since his wife has a sister living in the city, Grier remarked on the “immediate in-built social relationships” existing when they settled into their lakeside home.

Grier enjoys the cultural advan­tages of living in Grand Rapids. Opportunities abound to enjoy art, music, lectures and a wide variety of other stimulating cultural ac­tivities.

Grier has not been immune to the “new-kid-in-town” syndrome, thbugh. Being a new face, he says,

Sol’s Store-)en’s C lothing and Shoes

gives him opportunities to speak'in many places and on many occa­sions.

He speaks with deep apprecia­tion for the genuine Christian grace with which he and his wife have been treated since they made their move.

Grier remarked that teaching at the seminary level is a challenging task, primarily because the stu­dents are much more serious in ac­quiring skills for the ministry than they are on the college level. He re­ported an increased level of inter­action with students asking ques­tions which are not always easy to answer. Grier attributes this to the fact that most of the students are well-read and that they have a thorough acquaintance with the subject being taught.

with teen-agers. • When they moved, Gramps explained that they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to continue their involve­ment with young people, but soon learned otherwise.

When they arrived they found their daughter had been having stu­dents visit her at her apartment, so they quickly got involved. Realiz­ing the apartment was too small, Gramps bought their present

• home.“We’ve got a greater relation­

ship with young people than we’ve ever had,” Gramps stated.

“We don’t invite anyone, they just come,” noted Gram. Gramps added that the house is closed to no one as long as they behave like Christian young men and women... and if they, don’t. I’ll get them!"

Miss Ford noted that they aren't afraid to discipline if that is what’s needed. “They don’t always tell you what you want to hear,” she explained. “They tell you what you need to hear, but always in love.”

Visitors are reminded to keep their feet off the furniture and clean up spills, and Gramps controls the television viewing.

“You know that they love you,” Miss Ford and others reiterate.

Many of the regular attenders are athletes, especially soccer players, but Mrs. Bertschinger quickly explains that no one is singled out. Gramps explained that the soccer players usually help him close the pool after soccer camp and then just keep coming back.

Gram remembered times when they have been out-of-town and have bumped into some of these friends. “We’ve got kids all over the country in everything,” Gramps "noted. “The kids don’t forget us.”y Besides Mrs. Bertschinger, the Whites have three other daughters, 16 grandchildren and two great­grandchildren, whose pictures in the hall they eagerly point out.

“We don’t do it to get rewards,” Gramps claims. “I just get a bang out of it.”

“We really do it because we love kids,” Gram concluded.

Linn, Branham recitals exemplify difficult preparationA word exists that possesses the power to strike un­

surpassed tension and anxiety in the hearts of its. vic­tims.

This single noun, but its mere utterance, leaves its hearers senseless and numb with fear.

Cedarville College students encountering this phenomenal subject react most often with terror and avoidance. The word------Recital.

Despite this pandemonium of anguish, the Cedar­ville College Music and Speech Communications Depts. require their students to perform a major recital their senior year, although speech majors can opt to do a major research paper. Nonetheless, most students emerge from this experience generally unscathed. Some even eventually report enjoyment resulting from their recitals.

On April 9 at 8 p.m., two Cedarville students will ascend the stage to display the culmination of their college training. They exhibit typical experiences of music and speech majors as they prepare for next week's events. Roseanne Branham plans a trumpet re­cital to be held in the James T. Jeremiah Chapel. Faith Linn works toward a speech recital to be performed in Alford Auditorium.

This taught me that once you start a piece you have to finish it... no matter what!

Roseanne Branham’s recital fulfills the require­ments for her major in music with a proficiency in trumpet. Under the direction of Charles Pagnard, asst, prof, of Music, Miss Branham began working last quarter.

“1 picked my major piece, which is fifteen minutes long and then started filling in with the shorter pieces,” she reported, adding, “We don’t have to memorize our music, so that’s why I can start later."

Miss Branham then continued to explain the vari­ous aspects of her recital. “(Pagnard] wanted a repre­sentation of different style errors,” she began, “so we have a lot of different things. It won’t be solely trum­pet.” Her accompaniment will include cello, organ, voice, piano and trombone.

In preparation for this event, Miss Branham reports that she practices about two hours a day, not including work with the other musicians and a vocalist. She further states that Spring Break Brass Choir Tour helped her get ready.

Even though she reports the recital has taken long hours to perfect. Miss Branham believes she gains new insights through her toil. “This taught me that once you start a piece you have to finish it, work at the problem, no matter what!"

She explained, “When I first got the major piece, there were some points that scared me to death. But by working through them I’ve learned to be a little cohfi- dent.” She added laughing, “I’m still nervous about being nervous.”

"Another thing I’ve learned is that when you make one mistake it doesn’t ruin the music,” she affirmed. Miss Branham confessed that in all probability she will not execute perfectly every note during her reci­tal. “It is important to just go on and realize that one mistake does not ruin the entire piece,” she reiterated.

Other truths Miss Branham believes she’s reaf­firmed include the importance of patience and depen­dence on God and others. “Sometimes I get frustrated when the Lord will not open up time and let me know how things will end up.” She confessed, “I’ve learned patience and just trust in Him. I have to depend on the Lord, because I can’t do this alone."

Reviewing her years at Cedarville, Miss-Branham remembers, “when I first came to school, I could not play in front of people. I thought I could never do a re- citaL In fact, I failed my sophomore reviews. I was crushed, because the trumpet was the most important thing to me.”

“Then the summer between my sophomore and junior years I got some counseling, 1 came back and passed my sophomore reviews.” She went on to dis­close, “Everyone thought I was different, but I didn't feel anv different on the inside.”

Faith Linn (top)., .\'S ■. •>'.

Roseanne Branham <bottom)

Then. Miss Branham remembers a life-changing event. She conveyed that when she faced her philoso­phy of life speech, a requirement for Fundamentals of Speech, she realized that she could not give it to the class. "I didn’t believe in a personal relationship with Christ,” she stated, “but through the experience with the speech. Dr. Phipps led me to the Lord.”

“After that, the end of my junior year, I dropped all my music classes, searching for happiness." Miss Branham relates, “Then I thought the recital was an impossible task, something I’d never do. I thought the Lord would take the trumpet away. But, the more I used the trumpet, the more confident I became." She then stated with resolve, “I have to give it back to Him. If I use it for the Lord, things will come out okay."

Faith Linn also faces a recital on April 9. She works toward a degree in Speech, emphasizing platform arts. Upon graduation Miss Linn plans possibly to pursue a masters in oral interpretation.

A great deal of time and effort goes into preparing a speech recital. Miss Linn reports. “First, you have to find a piece. I read stories, indexes to plays, watched movies on T V and asked people their favorite stories and plays."

After searching through reams of plays Miss Linn stated that she picked Anastasia, a story of a Russian girl during the end of the period of the czar’s. Her task at hand then entailed perfecting an hour-long perfor­mance in which she constitutes the entire cast.

“I had to spend time getting familiar with the play, just reading it and getting to know it,” she said. “The next step was research. I researched the history of the fime period, the culture and the socio-economic back­ground of Russia and Berlin.” This accumulated re­search fulfilled another part of the recital requirement, a research paper of the particular play chosen.

To continue the work. Miss Linn stated that she cut the play to an hour in length, completed analysis on the seven characters, began memorizing and working with her director, Sharon Biddle, and practiced the script, developing the characters.

"Now, I’m planning the reception, gathering the music, working with staging, lighting, costumes and setting, and just perfecting and polishing the play.”

Like Miss Branham, Miss Linn believes that she learnefd some valuable lessons through her work. “I’ve learned how important it is to really concentrate on the task at hand,” she began. “You have to put energy into what you are doing. Positive attitude is important also,” she added.

I’ve learned how impor­tant it is to really concen­trate on the task at hand.

T’ve learned a lot about characters and characteri- tion,” she stated. “Having four male characters I have had a very difficult time portraying them, so I’ve had to learn about body movement and voice inflection.” She then included, “I’ve learned all that goes into the making of a play: costumes, staging, setting. . . .”

Along with these principles, other truths impressed Miss Linn through her work. “A verse that has been really special to me is II Corinthians 12:9 which says ‘My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. ’ A lot of times, I haven’t had the strength. When I’m weak, His strength is there. He has supplied the perseverance, the energy. I’ll have to lean on His strength in these next few weeks.”

“Through the tough times, friends have been very special,” Miss Linn revealed. “They offer to help me and, when I need-extra strength, God sends the friends along.'1’

To future recital givers. Miss Linn offers these words of-advic.e: "Start early! Pick your piece when you are a junior. When you have enough time, there is nothing to be afraid of.” She further affirms, “Get on the ball. Persevere, and let it be a learning experience. And, even though this may sound ironic, you can enjoy it!”

Crisis Pregnancy Center offers ‘different’ kind of counselingThe Crisis Pregnancy Center

presents an unusual outlook on a painfully familiar problem—un­wanted pregnancies.

Since November. 1982 Joan Roher and other concerned women, have tried to help pre­gnant women contemplating abor­tion. The staff members of the Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC) are, trained to counsel women about the various alternatives to abortion and the risks involved in deciding to have an abortion.

The center staff believes both that the misconception of abortion being “safe and easy” is false, and

that the pregnant woman is often pressured into having one because of the sociological fear of judge­ment and rejection.

The center exists "to provide that clear point of reference” to the pregnant woman which she so des­perately needs.

The center does not limit its ser­vices to helping only the pregnant woman, but also attempts to aid the woman’s family members and par­ticularly the child’s father.

Discussions at the center include alternatives - to abortion, facts about abortion and what is in­volved. A moral lifestyle and help­

ful moral standards are encour- *aged.

“One of our main goals is to also share Christ with the women, even when Christian girls come," states Mrs. Roher. “There’s still a lot of Christians out there that don't have set standards of morality.”

Free services are available in­cluding, a 24-hour hot-line (296- 0173), open for those who need counseling. The center office is lo­cated at 1563 E. Dorothy Lane, Kettering, Ohio, no. 210.

Pregnancy tests, which are 97%

accurate, are provided among their many services. Mrs. Roher com­ments that the 3% inaccuracy causes a great fear that the center may “come up with an inaccurate pregnancy test."

Besides the testing, the center also provides aid in finding a place to live, medical care, social ser­vices, legal assistance, clothing, childbirth instructions and assist­ance. But providing friendship and loving concern tops their list.

Trained by the National Chris­tian Action Council, the center’s staff members disapprove of abor­tion and strive to educate those who come to them about the realis­

tic information and evidence of the various methods of killing the fetus.

Their alternative to abortion in­cludes carrying the child full term and then either keeping him or put­ting him up for adoption. They are associated with Christian adoption agencies which assist in placing the baby in a good home.

Above all things, the center places Christ .first and shares His love and concern with all that visit, not only hoping that the clients will be able to see abortion as Christ would see it, but that they would accept Him as Saviour and go on to li.ve a rewarding.life for Him.

'ars- March 31,1983 - feature-spring tours

ring break ministries spanChorale sings in nation’s capital

The muted strains of the pre-ser­vice organ and piano duet drift through the room in which choir members are prayerfully preparing themselves for the evening’s per­formance.

In a few more minutes they will move to the rear entrances of the auditorium and line up for the pro­cessional number. As they assem­ble, the air becomes electric with their excitement and anticipation of their opportunity to minister.

This describes the pre-service atmosphere at any of the various churches in which the Cedarville College Concert Chorale minis­tered during spring break. At each of the many stops the Chorale made, there existed an intense des­ire to minister the Gospel to those in attendance. One member com­mented, “We’re on tour to minis­ter, not to perform.”

Lyle Anderson, Chorale Con­ductor, explained, “Spring tour is a time of spiritual enrichment, both for the Chorale and to those who are ministered to.”

The Chorale’s spring tour began on March 12 with an evening con­cert in Strongsville, Ohio. That evening was typical of nearly every concert. One member realized shortly before the concert that his tuxedo was still in Cedar­ville. The Bangkok flu, which was to haunt the Chorale all week, made its first appearance in a dramatic way, forcing a member to make a trip to the local hospital.

Sunday morning, the Chorale sang at Akron Baptist Temple, giv­ing a short performance in front of the adult congregation and local television audience before moving to the College and Career church for a more complete service.

Plum Borough, Penn, was the slated stop for Sunday evening, as the choir began its trek east.

The tour continued throughout the week with'stops in Petkasie, Penn.; Lynchburg, Va; and a three-day concentration in the

Washington, D.C. area.The days in Washington were

viewed as special highlights by many group members; a full day of touring the nation’s capital brought a heightened sense of their Ameri­can heritage as well as a close look at modern government.

While in Washington the Chorale gave a concert at the Arabic Baptist Church. This cross- cultural experience was extremely enriching as the bond of Christ was

experienced by both groups though at times oral communication was impossible.

“Viewing the-zeal and love for Christ that the ̂Arabic people pos­sessed was truly an exceptional ex­perience." Anderson said.

Anderson’s goals for the tour in­cluded the artistic goal of striving for that perfect performance; this goal was superceded by the effort made to extol true Biblical worship in music and to encourage the churches and the chorale to devel-

Annually Florida becomes a near mecca, flocked to by students of the eastern and central parts of the United States, and even the ’Ville. Joining this flock was the Cedarville College Beach Evangelism Team. For over a de­cade teams like this one have des­cended into a milieu of what News­week implied is plenty of sand, surf, sex and drugs. Unfortu­nately, most of the team will testify that they are correct. Florida is probably the one place in the U.S. which attracts the most vacation­ing college students at one time.

Lauderdale began with a 9 a.m. de­votion time with the intent of hit­ting the beach within an hour and a half. From that point on the mem­bers were to reach who they could, for four hours hopefully sharing the salvation plan with those they met.

There was1 no checklist of how many people each was to meet, amount of time to be spent, number of decisions to see made or a turnover ratio. The emphasis of the team was to meet and reach out.

Kirk Keller, who has since been called to teach in a Christian school in Ft. Lauderdale, and Rob Freeman both experienced their first Beach Evangelism trip this Spring break. Freeman stated that when he reached the beach, he felt like, “Where do I start?”

It might seem implausible that a team of 28 people would ever have an impact upon the crowds of an entire beach in one month, much less in one week.

Keller agreed that Ft. Lauderdale had a morally corrupt, “carefree” atmosphere. He and Freeman as well a s ' the rest of the team nevertheless found the people re­ceptive to their efforts. The people they met did not necessarily con­form to the statistical 19-25-year old secular college student.

Keller tells of a forty-year-old Mormon man with twenty years in theological training. Reflecting upon this unexpected encounter, Keller described Florida as a chal­lenge for those coming from a Bible-believing atmosphere.

Keller would advise “brushing up on your theology” to prepare for atrip like this.

The team realizes that, because of the nature and location of their evangelism, they may encounter criticism, the conjecture from some students that the Beach Team might be shallow and unnecessary surfacing occasionally. Keller and Freeman acknowledged the pre­sence of subtle assertions, and both agreed on one point: “you make the trip what you want it to be.”

op true heart worship. Anderson also stated that the development of a servant’s heart in the lives of Chorale members was an impor­tant goal

One of the mosFprofitable areas of this year’s spring tour was the daily devotional time. Chorale of­ficers decided before tour that a study of a particular spiritual topic would be. of extreme value in pre­paring the attitudes of members.for their daily ministry.

The officers chose to study holi­ness, using Jeff Bridges’ Pursuit o f Holiness- as a devotional guide. Each day a certain portion of the book was assigned to be read, and almost every evening the portion was discussed before the service to prepare the proper spirit for per­forming. Several members stated that this study opened their eyes to important concepts, and all saw this study as a special highlight of the tour.

As the members of the Chorale reflected back on all that took place over tour, humorous as well as spiritual memories come to mind. The male members of the choir dis­tinctly recalled the seemingly con­stant loading and unloading o f the bus.

Many members remember countless Rook games which were played while traveling. Others re­ported the forging of special friendships which may last through college.

Abusescriticized

(continued from page 2)Franky Schaeffer in his latest

book says, “There are times in which anyone with a shred of moral principle should be pro­foundly angry. We live in such times.” Schaeffer's attack on the media includes these types of abuses. »

A“second reaction is skepticism. Not a disbelief of all media, but a healthy skepticism about truths and intermixed opinion, a healthy skepticism about the role of sen­sationalism from the media.

A final appropriate reaction is action. All of us have equal action alternatives. We can speak up to the media: tools include letters to editors, phone calls to TV stations and letters on the topic when a sta­tion's license is being reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission.

' The most sensible action seems to be the easiest as well. When the media engages in abuse, in this or any other way. we can turn the page or change the channel.

Gospel team visits Texas

“To proclaim the righteousness of God and salvation through His son, Jesus Christ” was the theme of the New York City evangelism team.

The Cedarville team of 13 mem­bers joined with five students from Word of Life and 11 others from the Unique Opportunity Program, a one-year Bible school in Liberty Comers, N.J. This team then joined with Open Air Campaig­ners’ evangelists Chris Schroeder, Art Williams, George Nagy and Chuck Williams.

The ministry in New York \yas three-fold: street meetings, sub­way meetings and children's meet­ings. The nature of this ministry was sowing the Word of God more than actually reaping, and because of this nature, team leader. Dean Johnson, said that “unity was es­sential and needed to be built'so that they could rely on each other.”

The evangelism was concen­trated into Short periods of time. The basis for the preaching was I Corinthians 15:3-4 with follow-up to be done by the Open Air Cam-

die," may not develop broadly pre­pared graduates.

The use of several stylebooks helps students develop an inter­disciplinary perspective. This is one means by which a liberal arts college may combat the drift in American society toward in­creased specialization and an “ivory tower mentality" among professionals. Indidivuals become so preoccupied with their own specialties that they lose sight of valuable new developments and perspectives outside their own dis­cipline.

Writing according to a stylebook’s conventions is a way for students to put on the “specta­cles” of a professional and sub­sequently to think, research, or­ganize “and write from the view­point of that discipline. A good un­dergraduate education should en­courage students to look through the "spectacles” of several discip­lines and to try different communi­cation styles.

Learning to communicate in an effective and professional manner is another result of familiarity with several styles. The quintessential element of print communication is simply learning to write for the au­dience, Whether, writing a letter home, an article for a professional journal, newspaper or popular rag, a term paper or a business report, one must be able to utilize different communication tools.

For example, in both of our dis­ciplines^,, k now 1 edge of several

paigners.The team members gathered

people for the children’s meetings and handed out tracts. Sometimes the team found the opportunity to relate the plan of salvation to indi­viduals.- Second-year team member Jane Sparling said that going to New York made her aware of weak points-in her life and challenged her to be more diligent in God’s service when not on a team.

Similarly, Joy Hart, a first-year member, found growth in boldness and in learning that sharing the gospel makes one less scared.

Expressing her frustratoin with the time situation, Miss Hart re­marked, “I saw, their need for Christ and realized that they needed more time that what we had to give, but even if only one person was interested, it was worth it!”

Team members were Cicero Mukes, Dean Johnson, Rob Thim- mes, Tony Pepe, Bob Entwistle, Joy Hart, Jane Sparling, Deatra Huffman, Jane Adams, Cheryl Robbins, Lisa Swanson, Marth Johnson and Martha Jewell.

stylebooks is required in order to be professionally active. In addi­tion, there are numerous other par­ticularized requisites for publica­tion. Some journals want the arti­cle in duplicate, some triplicate or even four copies; some require the original, others copies; some limit pages, others speak in terms of maximum words; some demand endnotes, some footnotes and some no notes; some want an abstract, others not; some a biog­raphy or references and some a vita.

One journal summarizes the issue by rather bluntly stating that "the editors are the final arbiters. .. .” Maybe it is not such a bad idea to have undergraduates become familiar with “process” diversity. Although confusing, possible even frustrating, experience with sev­eral style manuals develops, com­munication skills.

A third reservation in regard to a single manual policy forces us to offer some societal observations. We live in an organizational soci­ety. Outside our homes, we play, work, study and worship in organi­zations. In recent years virtually every aspect of our lives has been touched by terms like centraliza­tion, consolidation, professionali­zation, standardization and bu­reaucratization.

Some individuals have even voi­ced the concern that Cedarville College is becoming a "bureau­cracy." Whether o r„ rno t. this

On March 11 eight students left Cedarville College for a nine-day ministry in southeastern Texas. Teaching in children’s Bible clubs, canvassing the town and fellow­shipping with other college stu­dents, the Texas team spent the break both ministering and being ministered unto.

thought is valid must be left for another time but we do not believe our college has escaped un­touched.

The proliferation of regulations and standardized, formal proce­dures are classic characteristics of. developing bureaucracies. We tend to view the institution of a single stylebook policy as another such questionable “formalism.” Does the student body really want a sort of synthetic boredom or do they favor professors with some in­dividuality and variety? Do they desire academic homogeneity or diversity?

Certainly professors become weary correcting style errors, but if escaping this tedium means sac­rificing our preference and our pro­fessional standards, we must demur.

Finally, we close by observing that cost containment and effec­tiveness are worthy,, if not mandat­ory goals. We realize that students face a financial crunch. Neverthe­less, accomplishing a task by the cheapest and speediest method is not always the best approach. Other values should be considered like the ones we have suggested above.

We know what it is like to be "book rich and coin poor”-while in school we scrimped, we used the library, we borrowed, and we bar­tered. But best of all, though "pen­niless.” we learned.

In' summing the trip up one member asserted, “I think a lot of seeds were planted.”

The team consisting of Ken Bandy, Angela Cooke, Dave En­glish, Irene Farley, Leslie Good­man, Lorain Haladay, Becky Mil­ler and Carlene Terlouw, started out on Friday afternoon on what was to be a 25-hour trip to the Fel­lowship Baptist Church in Austin, Texas. The team traveled in two cars. On Saturday morning, the group stopped at McDonald’s for breakfast which of course involved brushing teeth and washing hair in the restrooms to revive itself for the rest of their journey. The team continued traveling until they ar­rived at their destination around 4:30 p.m.

Upon arrival the team’members first met with the families with which they would staying and then set up in the church and rehearsed a readers’ theater for the next day.

Some team members felt a slight apprehension at first but, Dave En­glish, group leader stated, “It wasn’t so bad because you knew that the Lord was going to work it out.” The days ahead were to bring many opportunities to “let the Lord work it out.”

Teaching the nearly thirty chil­dren was a special challenge be­cause of the varied backgrounds and the wide age span. “There were toddlers to ten-“year-olds,” re­lated Angela Cooke, continuing that some had been raised in the church and others whose parents came from entirely unchurched backgrounds.

Miss Farley expressed regrets at having to leave the site of the ministry; “I would have liked to have stayed on,” she reminisced. Sunday afternoon the team left Austin, arriving at Cedarville at 4:30 Monday afternoon - just in time for supper and a shower be­fore reporting to chapel for the first meeting of the Spring Enrichment Conference.

After the first day, the children were divided into smaller groups and were taught using a variety of methods including magic and pup­pets.

v The puppets were managed by Ron Hobar, a 1982 graduate who traveled with last year’s summer puppet team and lives in Austin where he works with a puppet ministry in the church. Assisting him were team members Becky Miller, who also traveled on last year’s puppet team, and Angela Cooke, of this year’s summer pup­pet team.

The children were on the whole “very receptive,” recounts Dave English, who adds that he ap­preciated seeing the transparency of the newly saved young people in the church. “Christ,” he remarked, “really means something to them.”

Irene Farley, another team member commented that “sincere­ness” and “openness” of children is what she liked most about teaching them, and also the fact that “They’re not afraid of disclosing what they think.”

Team members agreed that see­ing growth in their own lives, as well as in the lives of those they ministered to, was a thrill, espe­cially benefiting from the ministry of pastor Bruce MacDonald, a former Cedarville student.

One member explained that MacDonald made real the idea of lifestyle evangelism. “The people, in the church not only knew Christ but they lived Him from their hearts,” he stated.

[MacDonald] really made the trip for me,” another member added “I knew he was special when he said at the beginning, ‘I know it’s your spring break so I want you to have fun.’”

Having fun included afternoons off and a day to go sight seeing. Sight seeing for the men meant a four-hour trip to Dallas for a look at the city and a tour of Dallas Theological Seminary, while the women visited San Antonio.

8 Cedars - March 31,1983 - sports - NCAA rule changes

NCAA toughens academic standards for athletes(CPS) - The top college football and basketball teams in the country this year say they would still be com­peting for national championships even if the NCAA’s (National Col­legiate Athletic Association) new, tougher academic standards for athletes had been in force this year.

College Press Service asked ath­letic directors and coaches of teams ranked in the final Top 10 Associated Press football poll and in the Top 10 of the AP basketball poll the last week of January, 1983 if a significant number of players would be ineligible under the new rules.

Some said the new rules, which set higher admission standards and require that athletes do well in cer­tain language and science courses, would not affect their standings at all.

Others say they would have af­fected them a little. The athletic di­rector at a predominantly-black col­lege says they are all lying.

Most major conferences are now surveying their member schools to see how many current athletes would be disqualified. Results so far are sketchy.

But the Big Eight’s completed study said that 10 to 27% of its white athletes might have been dis­qualified, while 60% of its black athletes might not have met the NCAA’s standards.

That presents marked contrast to what athletic department officials at some of the Top Ten teams re­ported.

“The proposal would have no ef­fect” on UCLA’s basketball team, asserts UCLA faculty representa­tive Douglas Hobbs.

The Memphis State, Virginia, Missouri and St. John’s basketball lineups would also be unchanged, sources at those schools contend.

Indiana does “have an athlete on the basketball team who would not meet the requirements as written for the SATs (Scholastic Aptitute Test),” reports Anita House, an academic counselor for athletes.

“But SATs don’t measure deter­mination or self-discipline,” she adds.

Indeed, most department spokespersons qualified their esti­mates of the rules’ effects some­how.

UCLA’s Hobbs, for example, notes the new standards would have no effect on the basketball team “because we have no freshmen on the team, and the pro­posal only deals with freshmen.”

Everyone will be affected,,, flatly states Tom McCullough, a spokesman for the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Some, however, will be affected more than others.

Based on preliminary results of the SEC survey, for example, McCullough thinks “basketball will be affected more than foot­ball.”

Football teams, however, will be hurt.

“A number of our players do come in on special admissions, perhaps 15 or 20%,” says Don James, head football coach at the University of Washington.

“But there would be no major ef­fects, except on perhaps four or five players, and most would still qualify on the SAT scoresi"

Ten to 15% of the University of Georgia’s athletes are currently en­rolled in developmental studies,” according to associate athletic di­rector Lee Hay ley.

UCLA would have lost two of the three freshmen football players, on last fall’s squad to the new course requirements, Hobbs says.

Fred Hobdy, assistant athletic director at Grambling, finds it all hard to believe. Hobdy says he re­cruits against the top schools all over the country, and that if they would not be affected by the new rules, “then we’re getting the wrong academic information” on potential recruits.

“In Chicago, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, it’s all the same,” he says. “In one section the schools are excellent, in other sections there are boards instead of doors.”

“The effects of the proposal will really depend on the individual school,” NCAA spokesman Tom Yeager observes .

Thirty-seven percent of Mis­souri’s black athletes would be in­eligible to play intercollegiately under the new rules, according to the Big Eight survey.

It is on black athletes that the rules will fall most heavily, mostf critics seem to agree. •,

The new rules require an SAT score of 700 or an ACT (American College Testing) score of 15, but such standardization tests have long been criticized as culturally- biased toward white, middle-class students.

Many athletic directors seem to have joined the critics. “I do think the SAT requirement has racial bias,” Cerra says.

“The test is weighted against minorities, especially rural minorities,” says Memphis State Athletic Director Charles Cavag- naro.

Advocates of the new rules seem to feel the losses may be worth it. “Someone has to tell the Ralph Sampsons right now how impor­tant it is to get a degree,” says Vir­ginia Athletic Director Dick Schultz.

At the NCAA January conven­tion, which adopted the new rules, Penn State coach Joe Patemo as­serted black athletes can compete on the SATs as successfully as they do on the field.

Paterno’s remarks, however, drew a lot of flak, and now a Penn State athletic deparment spokes­man says the rules are “too con­troversial” to comment uponr

The controversy continues. “I think we could skin the cat some other way,” says Memphis State's Cavagnaro.

Grambling’s Hobdy is sure the rules will change before they be­come effective in 1986 because “too many people are making a liv­ing and feeding their families on the black athlete for the NCAA to make the proposal stand as it is.”

“There are three more conven­tions before the proposal goes into effect,” agrees the NCAA’s Yeager, “and a real possibility the test will be optional.”

Cal Ian expects tougher competition with new rules

While the new NCAA rules won't affect Cedarville College directly, “It will make it tougher for us athletically,” stated Don Callan, Athletic Dir.

He explained that he expects to see strong high school athletes, who would previously have gone to larger NCAA schools, coming to smaller col­leges. Because of tougher academic standards high school graduates with low grades will no longer be permitted to play at NCAA schools.

Callan foresees them enter­ing smaller NAIA schools, in­stead. where grade rules aren't

as rigid. This will probably strengthen the quality of NAIA athletics.

NAIA (National Assn, of In­tercollegiate Athletics) rules, under which Cedarville oper­ates, Callan continued, simply, specify that a student athlete must graduate from an accre­dited high school and be ac­cepted by the college at which he is playing.

The NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Assn.) rules which also apply to Cedarville closely parallel the NAIA rules, Callan added.

Athletes here are admitted and continue in school on the same basis as all other students, the coach noted, explaining that this means maintaining passing grades in at least 12 credit hours per quarter. The situation, Cal­lan remarked, “intends that a student be making normal prog­ress toward a degree:”

He also noted that only two or three Cedarville students each year must discontinue competi­tion due to low grades.

Besides gaining better athletes, Callan also foresees the new rules helping the enroll­ment problem in smaller col­leges.

While he does not believe the NAIA will raise its academic standards in the near future. Callan admits that Cedarville would probably be better able to compete if they were raised. “It would guarantee that we were playing student athletes," he concludes.

There was a time way back when women in the Air Force did the same things women did everywhere. Clerical and ad ministrative positions. Those positions are still around, but for women in the Air Force, the opportunities are endless. You’ll find women in almost every skill area and with the prestige and responsibility of leaders. . . of officers.

Many of these women began their relationship with the Air Force in college, as cadets in Air Force ROTC. We received $100 per month for expenses. And, those of us on scholar­ship had our tuition, books, and lab and incidental fees paid by the Air Force.

If you’re a woman interested in or attending college. Air Force ROTC can make a big difference in your life. And when you graduate, you may become an Air Force officer. The sky’s the limit. . .............. , .7 ( .ilK apl .Inn Mtllv Wnslii Male l imvr-ift . S7.i-’7t|l

Gary Wallace hurls the hall to the plate.

The baseball team just-couldn’t get the weather to cooperate over spring break - in Florida or back at home.

The weather was still less than satisfactory as the squad returned home. The first regular season game ended in a 5-5 tie after ten innings against Bluffton College- on a very cold day.

The Jackets then went on to top a doubleheader with Olivet Nazarene, who lost the first game, 3-I. and the second, ll-2 , at a home 'game last Saturday after­noon.

Wrestlertriumphsby Dave English, varsity wrestler

The season began in the early weeks of October. Prior to the ac­tual mat-work, team members con­ditioned bv running. One impor­tant item was missing - a coach.

Then, as if out of the blue, the team gained a coach, Matt Kunkle. With the addition of Kunkle, the team was ready to begin the sea­son.

The wrestling team had lost sev­eral veteran wrestlers including Joel Taylor, Dan Bloom, Rod Lut- trell and Rich Dunn, but a crop of experienced freshmen came in to fill the spots. Three such students were freshmen John Bennet and Tom Christopher and transfer stu­dent Alvin Tucker.

Kunkel worked the wrestlers hard and the team came out on top in their first match against Ohio Wesleyan.

Early in the season the Yellow Jacket grapplers traveled to Hun­tington, Ind., to participate in an annual . tournament. Several wrestlers placed in this tournament which included some stiff compe­tition. Captains Dave English ^nd Ron Comfort placed first and third, respectively. Veteran wrestler Jim Howe finished with a second place, whTle John Bennet finished with a third place and freshman John Christopher with a third.

Christmas break provided the wrestlers relief from the routine practices and matches. The new quarter dawned with some major disappointments for the grapplers. The team lost four varsity wrestlers. Despite the setbacks, the team continued to work hard for the season’s remaining two months.

On Jan. 15, the wrestling team

recaps season s . frustrations

traveled to St. John’s Arena at The Ohio State University to engage in perhaps the best competition they have ever faced. Four mats lined the floor as Qhio NCAA powers Cleveland State, University of Toledo, Ohio State and Youngstown State squared off. No one from Cedarville placed at Ohio State but the experience added confidence for some.

Injuries and further difficulties hindered the team’s progress so that only three wrestlers repre­sented the Yellow Jackets at the NAIA District tournament at Wil­mington. Six teams participated in the 24 match tournament: many classes held only three contenders. Ron Comfort came'away with a

second place, Dave English with a third and John Harbeck with a fifthplace.

Often, only the team’s standouts receive recognition. Yet, the win­ners would not have been able to reach their potentials without the . help of the rest of the team. Recog­nition should be given to several wrestlers, including Tim Bell (126 lbs.). Rod Tennant (158 lbs.) and Brady Elmhurst (HWT.).

Women’s softball splits doubleheader, 0-3, 7-4

The Cedarville women’s soft- ball team began its seaon last Saturday, splitting a double header with Marietta. They dropped the first game, 0-3, but came back in the second to a 7-4 win.

Assessing the team’s strengths and skills, coach Elaine Brown stated, “We're much stronger with this group of girls than the last. We have essentially replaced all [graduating] seniors with incom­ing freshmen. We will exhibit depth and versatility.” Depth, coach Brown explained, means that each play is capable of playing more than one position. “The players realize that they will play in the position that will benefit the team the most,” she continued.

Briefcases fascinate me. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at the inside of his brief­

c a s e .Find a Greek scholar in the li­

brary and stand behind him so you can look at his opened briefcase (their briefcases are always open). You’ll see the most organized, ef­ficient and impressive array of texts, lexicons, papers and the in­evitable Greek New Testament tucked into their own exact slot, pocket, or space.

For light reading, he may have a copy of Ugaritic for You and M e . tucked in a cranny. No papers ever have to be crammed in. Nothing is ever crumpled. Its beautiful preci­sion makes IBM look like a dating service.

You know by looking at that briefcase just what his desk looks like. You also know that his bunk is always made within two minutes of his getting up and that he waters his plants exactly when he is sup­posed to. He probably went to Boys’ State in high school, graduated in the top ten of his class

and has as his pet peeve people who stand behind him staring at his briefcase. -

Slide down to the middle of the ■spectrum and there you should find the scholar who is both academic and extra-curricular minded. His briefcase is a little less neat but no less organized. While he may seem to have a disarray of papers, texts and appointment books, he actu­ally could locate anything he needed within a minute or so.

Ask him for the notes from yes­terday’s Baptist History class, and he will dig for only a brief moment through the jungle, neatly pull out stacks of papers and finally extri­cate his biology book, open it to page 74, and say, “Ah, Just where I left them!’,’

You know that this individual usually has a neat closet with his shoes in perfect order. His desk is a series of neat piles. His sweaters ate color-coded in the drawer. He likes “Leave It to Beaver” re-runs and his roommate, and loves french fries (at McDonald’s, of course) and “Doonesbury.”

Neither of these descriptions of briefcase-carriers is rigid or abso­lute; variations always occur, but these models anchor down two of the three points on our linear spec­trum.

Then there’s my briefcase. I would say it anchors down the

have to admit that the only thing my case could anchor without squashing it would be an ocean liner.

I’d like you to meet my brief­case. I began trying to be elegant and call it my attache. That quickly deteriorated as several comedians on campus named it informally “the trunk,” which since has gone downhill to “the suitcase."

I wish I could leave you with the impression that I’m terribly or­ganized and fanatically efficient simply because I carry a briefcase- -but there’s a commandment against lying. I really do try to be perfectly organized but some link of the chain' has snapped some­where .

A friend suggested naming my trunk •Garfield" because, he avows, it gets fatter every time he sees me carrying it.

Several individuals will peer curiously into Garfield and ask gently, “Jane, isn’t there some­thing you could take out? Do you have to carry all of this?" They will never understand, but I have reasons for keeping every one of those items in there. The reasons may be quite illogical but they are reasons.

I have multiple notebooks, texts and file folders which all have some specific purpose; unfortu­

nately I’ve forgotten those pur­poses, but I keep hoping I’ll re­member them—hence a very over­crowded, off-balance briefcase.

I suppose I should do something about the trunk. I’m tired of people challenging all the things 1 carry and saying they’re unnecessary. They just don’t understand how vital is every item to my equilib­rium as a student and an-upcoming career woman. Of course, I sup­pose I could take out the teddy bear or the peanutbutter and jelly sandwich or the crayons. .

Former students’ song cut on Grant albumLiterally hundreds o f unso­

licited press releases pass through the Cedars office each quarter. Many deal with nuclear prolifera­tion, strange job opportunities or the activities o f the Red Cross.

Occasionally, a press release, like this one from Miami Valley Christian Televison, station, TV 26, seems particularly o f interest to us.

Former Cedarville students Steve Millikan and Rod Robison are finding that the long hours spent hammering out just the right words and music to their songs are beginning to pay off.

One of their songs, “Fat Baby”, for which Robison wrote the lyrics and Millikan wrote the music, is featured on the Grammy award winning album “Age to Age” by recording artist Amy Grant.

This past February the LP was voted “Best Gospel Contemporary Album” of 1982 at the annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The top selling inspirational album of last year, it has been at the number one spot on the charts for over eight months.

The song almost missed being on the album according to Robi­son, who is promotion director at Springfield’s Channel 26. Robison explained, “Steve was producing an album by another former Cedar­ville student named Becky Embro.' Fat Baby' was the title cut. A pub­lisher named Gary McSpadden happened to come by the studio, heard the song and asked if we would be interested in having it published.”

That wasthe first step in getting the song to the public. Usually, finding a well-known recording artist who will listen to the work of a writer, not to mention record the song, is quite another, according to Robison.

“ It was almost too easy.” he said. “I had always admired Amy as a singer and thought she would do a good job with the song. So, I suggested to our publisher that he contact her.”

As Robison understands the story, Ms. Grant and her producer had been looking for a “novelty- type” tune for the new album but

had not found one they were satis­fied with. The two began praying that the right song would come along. “About that time our pub­lisher walked in with ‘Fat Baby’, Robison said with a smile. “They heard it and said, ‘That’s it!”

The song, which takes its inspi­ration from the fifth chapter of Hebrews, pokes light fun at people who are satisfied with, as Robison puts its. "wearing the name ‘Chri- tian’ but not the commitment.” He

added, “It’s always easier to see 'ou r faults when we can laugh at them. We all need that occasion­ally.”

From all indications a lot of people have been hearing the mes­sage of “Fat Baby.” So far, the album has sold upwards of a quar­ter of a million copies. The song it­self is getting airplay on several stations nationwide including two Columbus area gospel stations,

A.D. Players featured in weekend sem inar

April 8 and 9. Cedarville College will host its third annual Christian Drama Seminar, coordinated by Dave Robey, asst. prof, of Speech and Drama.

The participants in this year's seminar will view the work of the After Dinner Players, a repertory theater company which strives to present the message o f Christ through drama. Robey, who has seen the Players per­form several times and hosted them in a church in Tennessee, lauded the company as "exceptionally good.”

On April 8, the A.D. Players will present a complete program as part of the Artist Series. During the seminar on Saturday they will answer such questions as where to find good material. where to get ideas for new mate­rial, how to present a play on a small platform and how to get a cast to energize a Christian drama.

Robey believes this seminar will be very beneficial .for all attending and is offering it to students at no cost. He elaborated. “Christian drama is a powerful ministry in the church that has been too long overlooked. Dramatization of people making. . .decisions for the glory of God has been and should be used appropriately to challenge people with the claims of Christ.”

Thirty people coming from Michigan, Wisconsin. Illinois, Tennessee and New York have registered for the seminar. Any student may attend, but must register first with Robey.

Back by popular demand.OK, that’s an overstatement.

Even so, there have been a number of people who have urged me to re­prise “Edditorially Speaking" at least once this year.

For those new here this year, “Edditorially Speaking” was a col­umn regularly featured oh Cedars' editorial page last year. Each issue featured an allegorical treatment of a key issue. This new installment, then, is the brief return of “Eddito­rially Speaking."

For John, Randall, Ric. Cullen and Brad: Always remember, the key is consistency.

■ Finally, the church must not forget that it is to be a witness o f Christ to the community at large. Christians must reflect God in their reactions. As Francis Schaif- fer rights, the “final apologetic... is what the world sees" in the church. . . if a church. . .exhibitsa bad witness, we all lose.

-John Whitehead ___

The courtroom of William Reid is far from unknown here. Since he ascended the bench 14 year ago in 1888, stories of his decisions have traveled far beyond this Westmoreland County communi­ty-

To many. Reid has become kind of a state hero, somewhat a Pennsylvania legend. To others, the name William Anthony Reid strikes a fearful chord. To all.Reid is a strong-willed yet perceptive man. a judicate who weighs each piece of evidence in a decision with a keen, perceptive knack.

It is this keen comparison that serves as the basis of much of the grapevine scuttle about Judge Reid. In the eyes of many, he-is far too perceptive; he compares every detail with every other detail, searching out the slightest hint of

ing a contract. Marshall's claim is that Brownridge owes him $125 for the use of a wagon. Obviously Brownridge disagrees.

First, some background. Evan Marshall is one of the communi­ty's better off citizens. He's well liked; in fact many of those here in the courtroom came to express their support for Evan and his wife Lucy.

The Marshalls have been mar­ried only five years; she was a widow. Evan married very late in life.

Jason Brownridge owns a small farm just outside a' town. He works hard and says little to few. More people see Tiis kids, Jason and Robert, than see him. The three Brownridge men have to work hard; it takes a lot more to make up for the lack of a woman's touch than most people realize.

Eva Brownridge passed on about six or eight years ago. leavin' Jason to try and manage the two boys—a handful in themselves.

Judge Reid has determined sev­eral things so far. It appears that Jason Brownridge needed an extra wagon for the harvest last fall. His had broken down and without the money from the crops, he couldn't get it fixed. Jase figures that he'd probably have bankrupted without the wagon, particularly now that Jason Jr.’s old enough to run the plow animals.

Marshall says he offered to rent a wagon to the Brownridges for $125.- Bein’ a business man, Mar­shall insists that he made a fair deal with Brownridge. In fact, he's got with him two or three people he claims heard the deal with Jase Brownridge.

Brownridge on the other hand, spent only a few minutes talking to Judge Reid. He really said very lit­tle; that’s Jase’s style. All he said really was that without the crop money, “thing's was tight.” He says there’s no vyay he would have agreed to the rent; it was “more'n the repair bill would’a been.”

It appears that Hicks is hedging, stalling.

“Ah see. Thank vou Ma'ant."

The Borough vs. Hicks

This is a case where the borough is accusing a citizen of a crime, manslaughter. It seems that old Jesse Hicks, that geezer must be 72. by now, took a couple of pot shots at a trespasser on his property out on Smithville Road.

Despite old Jesse's poor eyesight, (astigmatism, you know) he hit the poor feller.

About two hours later the fellow died.

The police claim that Jesse was just itchin’ to shoot somebody.

Marshall vs. Brownridge

It appears that Mr. Marshall is suing Mr. Brownridge for break­

Reid is listening very carefully. It seems that now that he s spent nearly thirty minutes listening to Marshall, the missus and the wit­nesses, he’s heard enough. It's sur­prising, even though Jase Brow­nridge only talked for about three minutes, it’s Marshall's witnesses he wants to talk to again.

“Mr. Johnson, sir. Did you hear Mr. Marshall and Mr. Brownridge talk about this. . .contract.”

“Ub, sir. Mr. Marshall and 1 are

anybody. They figure that must be the case, seein’ that old Hicks had 16 shotguns ahangin' on his wall.

Old Jesse's gun collection was pretty well known all through Westmoreland County. He'd been boasting for years that if anybody got near his house he'd load 'em with buckshot before they could say Jiminy Cricket. Looks like maybe he did this time.

■'Well, Jesse. Is there any ques­tion about whether or not it was

guns. That's why I told everyone I had 'em. I jest wanted to be left alone: didn't want no trouble. Ev­erybody knew I'd shoot if some­one came too close. I never meant to. . .

-"•..Land National Bank vs. Foster

Delbert Foster owes Land 'Na­tional money. Neither he nor the

"bank's arguing about that. What they are arguing about is what to do now that Delbert's decided not to pay.

The accusations are flying. De­lbert insists that the bank can't take his car. The bank says that it is legitimate collateral. Delbert says it’s his.

Judge Reid seems to be talking with just the two lawyers. Now one of them is going to explain some­thing.

" It is our position that Delbert Foster owes the Land National Bank $1256, thirty-four dollars of which was due on the seventh of last month. Mr. Foster, after being notified that hispayment was past due and that the bank would take legal recourse if payment was not made, placed the thirty-four dol­lars in quesiion in an account at another bank. Both he and the bank concur on this point. It seems that Mr. Foster was unaware that his personal possessions fell under the jurisdiction of the bank for repos­session in the event of non-pay­ment. It is our . . ."

“Mr. Peters, please get to the heart of this matter."

"Yessuh. your honor. Mr. Fos­ter chained himself to the auto­

retuse these men what rightfully falls w ithin their realm of author­ity'."

Even now. nearly a century later, we can realize the wisdom of Judge William A. Reid. His keen sense of perception enables us to see our own idiosyncracies

He was able to judge the true thoughts and actions of two men. One was struggling,- the other, seemingly well off, retused to credit the first for anything.

Reid, on the other hand, found the inequality . He found the incon­sistency. He realized that Evan Marshall had created a contract, but Jason Brownridge had not been a part of it.

Judge Reid was capable of de­termining the' worth of self de­fense. He never questioned Jesse Hick's right to defend himselt from attack. Even so, Hicks was found guilty of manslaughter.

Judge Reid commended Delbert Foster on his convictions. He lauded the firmness with which Delbert defended his automobile. Judge Reid was far more sensible about the whole issue than Foster was. Reid assured Delbert Foster he had rights, but so did the larger organization. Reid ordered the $34 paid, and gave Foster a lecture on credibility, that sometimes fight­ing hard on petty issues while larger ones stand unattended isn't always best

Judge Reid was competent. He was firm. He was wise. Tragically, he was killed in a train accident in the 1920s.

No one.has replaced him.
