Should I write a letter, take a nap, or cram for my 11:00 test? It ' s just Another Meriting At Ccnvc Many students at Manchester College have participated in at least one of these activities during convocation at one time or another; however, most of those same students have paid very close attention to convocations that they felt were particularly interesting to them. In trying to meet the 84 required convocations in four years, students attended a variety of performances including most everyone ' s favorites — the five senior series. In these special convos, friends and memories were combined in a performance to which the entire audience could relate. Finding convocations to fit the tastes of the entire student body was no easy task, but the college succeeded in bringing different values, arts, and ideas to Manchester through lectures, Artist- Lecture Series Performances, and foreign film classics. a. koskey 1.

It ' s not often that someone fights for his own death but this is just what Ken Harrison did, after all . . . Whose Life Is It Anyway? The drama Whose Life Is It Anyway? left the audience with some thought-provoking questions about values about a quadraplegic, Ken Harrison, played by Clay Bowman, who as a result of an accident found himself no longer able to perform as sculptor, artist, or total human being. After careful consideration of his own values and desires, Ken Harrison decided to fight for his right to die when everyone else in the hospital was fighting to save his life. He chose to have all the life-support systems and medications stopped and to wait for death to come within a few days. What appeared to be simply hospital scene was acutally cleverly designed and constructed while the intriguing lighting, manipulated by Jill Bosler and Mike Willoughby, added highlights to the show. Whose Life Is It Anyway? , directed by Scott Strode ended many observers questioning the legal and medical options open to those who may find themselves in a similar situation someday. t. koskey 1.
