Cornerstone University - KUMI ORI Yearbook (Grand Rapids, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 161 of the 1983 volume:

This is undoubtedly the most frequently asked question by Christians. The ''peace that passeth all understanding” eludes many a redeemed person as he worries himself through each day, eagerly awaiting a command from God to go .. . somewhere. mi AT IS GOD'S WILL FORME? The individual Christian lije can be likened to a great ■ sailing vessel. When a ship is moored in a harbor with all the sails lowered, the pilot, no matter how skilled he may be, finds it impossible to fulfill his duty. For you s' te, a ship that is stationary cannot be steered along a course. V However, uherripekdils hiMe e jraisedt moorings cast of , tffe hip begj wrmng jox; Now the pilot finds it an easy ttish'lo'turn and thus alter the course of the entire ship. And so it is for the Christian. Until we cast off the bonds of self- centeredness and move our lives forward with the daily study of Gods word, prayer, and sharing of our faith, how can we hope to be directed by God? Jesus said, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” iour And let the wind blow never Your ship lose control Your position as a student at a college which has its foundational philosophies firmly grounded in the Word of God, gives you the potential to reach the stars. Here there is no fear of religions persecution by the authorities. In this country you are free to worship as you choose and, being a you are unrestricted from serving God to the fullest of your capabilities. w At your fingertips are vast stores of resources: Men and women, doctors and professors, libraries of books, experiences and opportunities. You view some positively and some negatively, but rest assured, all are there to help mold you into a godly person. You must discipline yourself to some new rules, To some new people with different lifestyles, And to the rigors of study. If s going to mki then, anything o has a price. dy to sho DVed unti ' ]r. needeth r Take advantage of all God has given you and use it for His glory that you might have a clear conscience toward Him. ''For he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.” Before one can learn to swim, he must first get into the water” .. . Free yourself of the shackles of self- concern and by faith rely on God each day. Redeem the time and make yourself an integral part of the events that transpire about you. light and be of service to others. But what 1 do with this day is important because I have exchanged a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. I hope I will not regret the price I paid for it. if. DEDICATION Dr. W. Wilbert Welch A Man of Vision It took a man of courage and farsightedness to successfully guide the growth of Grand Rapids Baptist College. Twenty four years ago just such a man of vision became the president of this school. His name is Dr. W. Wilbert Welch. Since chen he has steadfastly charted the course of this school, always desiring to follow the will of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Editor and Staff of the 1983 Kumi Ori dedicate this volume to Dr. Welch for his com- mitment to Christ and this Col- lege. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no . one can fathom.” Psalm 145:3 W p DEDICATION A Man of Planning In his twenty four years a Presi- dent, Dr. Welch has seen many changes at this college. When he began, enrollment at what was then the Baptist Bible Institute was 148 men and women. Under his leadership the school in- augurated a full bible college pro- gram in I960, and in 1962 plans were drawn for a 64 acre campus at 1001 E. Beltline. Groundbreak- ing for that campus was on May 5th of that year, and the campus began to grow building by building. Another change guided by Dr. Welch culminated in ac- creditation as a liberal arts college in 1977. Ever since then the col- lege has continued to change, grow and improve! We pray that pattern will not be broken by Dr. Welch's retirement. In his heart a man plans his course, hut the Lord determines his steps:' Proverbs 16:9 18 Dr. W. Wilbert Welch May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all A Man of Faith Through the years of change Dr. Welch maintained a firm stance regarding the Doctrinal Integrity of the school. Never has he let it wander from its original statement of faith, proving that with prayerful guidance a school can grow and change without for- saking its Lord, Jesus Christ. Dr. Welch, we as a student body wish to thank you from the depths of our hearts for all that you have contributed to this college. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Although theit original contest is found in Isaiah 60:1. these words find a very lireial meaning for the annual staff. Whether it's the photography staff capturing an event or glorious sunrise, or reporters attending a campus activity, or a special meeting with the publisher representative, many a day starts before sunrise for the creative staff. There are no established hours for capturing Kumi-Ori material. As events transpire about campus someone must be there to record them. The goal of the staff this year has been to oritig you a well rounded view of campus life as it exists here at Baptist College. Front Row: Kathy Retsner, Sfiitfey Antonc. Janet Stone.

Under the management of Lee Geysbeek, WCSG has experienced a year of transition and growth. The purchase of the fire station on the corner of Leonard St and East Beltline has provided a new building for the housing of the broadcasting equipment, production studios, receptions area, etc. Everyone involved is excited and can hardly wait until rhe new facilities are ready for operation. WCSG provides a unique outreach through its Christian programming. Inspirational music, talk shows, news, request tune, campus events, and special features all make up a part of WCSG. Reaching the Grand Rapids community and Western Michigan with the good news of Christ is the goal of the FM 91 staff and them student helpers. This is made possible through the support received from listener's gilts and patrons of such events as Sharathon and the Cynthia Clawson concert. 3 rh'.y Basis ” SPRING EVANGELISM Every spring, Baptist College sends out several groups of students to aid local churches located throughout the ILnted States, in art evangelistic outreach. Thirteen excued students made the pilgrimage to Salt Lake City, Utah, to work with missionaries to the Mormons. Their work included door to door canvassing, preaching, teaching, working with Awana groups, visitation, and carpentry. There was also time for sightseeing, which included a visit to Temple Square, Brigham Young I diversity, and a local ski resort. The % hour van drive to Utah could become tedious to even the most patient of people, bur this group showed excellent cooperation with leader, Steve Waimer, and everyone exhibited a spirit of togetherness. Not much new fruit was seen on this expedition, but all involved totally believe that the Lord will fulfill His promise, that His word will not return void, and agree rhat Utah was an experience of a lifetime. eJV fW- Luis Bell.

It's an opportunity to put their faith into action by striving to meet the spiritual, and sometimes physical, needs of people from a different generation. Bringing a smile to a withered face or a ray of hope to a troubled hearc is an achievement which is nearly impossible to express on paper. Here, let the pictures do the talking.

Although they were plagued with injuries and played with only 6 players, the iady Comets won 9 out of 11 games during their mid-season play. Julie Webster was voted as the most valuable player and probably the best guard in the history of Baptist College. The team was balanced with efforts from Christy Christmas, Nancy Kresge, and Joan Lockwood. All four players averaged in double figures. Defense Nancy! What poise! Julie takes two.

BUILDING BASEBALL A trip to the Christian College Tournament in Boca Raton helped prepare the Comet Baseball team for this season. A late and muddy winter hampered training efforts in Grand Rapids, so the trip south was much needed and a welcome relief. The team had good pitching performances, most notably from Tim Bondy, and good defensive performances also. This year also saw the addition of some new players that will form a great nucleus of future Comet teams. The team was coached this year by Nate Price. BASEBALL from: W.

IN THE RUNNING Tom Hutchison, coaching his first year of track, claims that both the men's and women’s team have seen tremendous improvement this year. One of the strengths of the team was their obvious enjoyment of being with each other, and encouraging one another. Hampered with few facilities on campus, the college crowd didn't get to see many meets, but they were still supportive of this small and dedicated team. Exhaustion.

Co-ed softball, flag football, men's and women’s basketball, men's and women's volleyball, men's and women's indoor soccer, and floor hockey provided variety and a good time for those involved. There is a certain comraderie found in these teams, plus a lot of spirit. Hardworking Dave Powers was the coordinator of intramurals. The winning teams were; softball, the Bear Docks; flag football, BMOCians VII (the epic becomes a dynasty); men's basketball, Master's of Reality; women’s basketball, Kappa Mew jamma Fi; men's volleyball, 4 for 4; women’s volleyball. 2 Good 2 Be Tru's. 109 Katrina Ross, Diane Walsh, Lynne Besteman, Laurie DeRidder, Kelly Waid and Jean Kunst Lire Lip!

For some students, it was a chance to be at home with family and friends. But for those who stayed on campus there were plenty of opportunities for fun and excitement. Just ask one of the hardy segment of students who braved the water slides at Arnie’s Funland in near sub-freezing (well almost) weather. Despite blue lips and chilled bones, it was quite an enjoyable time. On Saturday, a star-studded Alumni soccei team battled the Varsity Comets to a 1-1 tie. Labor day activities included the usual tugs-of-war, mattress races, rappelling, etc. Mention must be made of the rousing girl’s soccer game, bringing both laughs and cheers, and ending conveniently in a tie. The dunking booth became an instant hit as the campus community was able to throw their innate aggressions at various authority figures. Our own Bruce Andree was by far the favorite target. Pete Veldt and Mark Manzer give it their all. Tom Brown gets a free ride from Tony Szekely and Don Shaver Noe Palacios at the end of his rope. 1.12 Abe Cardosa, before his bath.

John Varineau performed a clarinet medley, Arnold Ashley took off on a 'Slow Boat to China,” Mike DeVries and Shelly Stichler performed a short dramatization, Joanne Morgan, Judy Huhta, and Barb Darling called up memories of the Andrew Sisters with their stirring rendition of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Keith Currie peifotmed Moses, and Tom Benefiel and John Bratcher gave us Wok with Yen. Saturday put the icing on an already well baked cake with a Comet victory in soccer and a public concert featuring the musical ministry of Chrystine Wyrtzen.

Partly because of the joy we have as Christians celebrating our Savior’s birth, and partly because it's nearly the end of the semester. Fun was the name of the game at the annual Christmas party which was emceed by Matt Sadler and featured Jeanoine Johnson’s Nutcrackers Feet” and The Legend of the Silver Bell.” Musical selections were provided by Celeste Guiley, who sang a solo, and Barb Darling and Pam Porter with a guitar oboe vocal special. Pizza and pop were provided for refreshment. Sue Green waiting for Santa. - BIBLE CONFERENCE HHMI The ?.4rh Annual Bible Conference was held the week of February 21-25.

ARTIST SERIES Nielson and Young A touch of the highbrow was the flavor of the Artist Series that was held on campus this year. The series was led off by perennial favorites Nielson and Young. Nielson was suffering severely from a headcold, but the professional in him managed to quell the cold for the performance. The Baptist College crowd is always appreciative of this piano duo, and this year was no exception to the case. The second concert featured Nancy Dailey and Daniel Horne, a flute-piano duo. Mrs. Dailey showed off her extensive abilities on the flute, while her accompanist dazzled the audience with the variety of tonal colors that he could coax out of the piano. Mrs. Dailey also held a flute master class where her remarks about the integration of the performing arts and the Christian Life were most helpf ul to the budding artists on campus. During the second semester Alan Bates gave an organ recital off campus in the Calvin Christian Reformed Church. The knowledgeable audience responded favorably. The last concert featured Mr. Robert Nagel on the trumpet. He was kind enough to include the Baptist College Symphonic Band on his program, performing the demanding Arutunian Concerto. As in the past, Mr. Nagel entertained the enthusiasic audience, as well as the college trumpet students who were able to take advantage of his presence to answer many questions they had about the professional trumpeter’s life.

From this intimate beginning flowed a genteel time of fine food and spiritual blessing as Doug Howell ministered to those attending the Junior-Senior Banquet. Delighted with the chance to dress up for a classy evening,” students were not disappointed as they moved from the refreshing punch bowl into the elegant banquet hall. Treated to polished silver, crystal water glasses, spotless linen table clothes and liveried waiters, they felt, if just for an evening, the joy of luxurious dining. Doug Howell tounded out the evening with a mixed bag of music, from soft ballads to a liT bit country.” Though the music and words were simple, Doug managed to leave a little bit of his love behind for each one to savor as the evening came to an end.

Such food you’ve never seen before here at Baptist College. It is at this brunch that Baptist College students are honored for their participation in athletics, student activities, music organizations, and even academics.

The smiles on their faces showed that the striving of the past four (or more) years was finally over, and that the rest of life was waiting out there. College has brought hundreds of students from myriad backgrounds together for four short years, and now, they will be leaving this plot where they have discovered a commonality to disperse and affect society with a Christian world and life view.

The bookstore seeks to meet the wants and wishes of all the students by providing the latest items in clothing, gifts, bibles, and between meal snacks. Student finances are also taken into consideration, and discounts are allowed whenever possible. Because working with people is the service of the bookstore, yearly highlights include the beginning of each semester when academic interest causes the store to be filled with electricity.

MAILROOM Much like the enlisted men in those old World War II movies, Baptist College students eagerly await the arrival of the mail from the mailroom. Sometimes it's a letter from that special someone and sometimes it's nothing more than a bill from the business office. It's this unpafterned schedule of reinforcement that keeps the students watching and wishing. The mailroom staff handles the sorting and delivering of all incoming and outgoing mail for the faculty and staff as well as the student body. The sending out of bulk mail of 4000 pieces or less is handled completely by the staff: folding, collecting, labeling, metering, stuffing, ripping, bagging, imprinting, sealing, cutting, etc. A mailing service, to which Val Mooney serves as liaison, handles larger quantities. 137 SWITCHBOARD Seated: Terry Knaus, Al Stock, Lori Rowry, Mark Manzer Standing: Julie Niederer, Brent Sandberg, Britt Denison, Leta Ducharme, Brian Max- well, Paula Kimble.

How about finding those phone numbers that the professors are too lazy to look up? Or taking those countless messages for the teacher who never seems to be in? Or selling tickets for the Spring Drama. Raising the flag every day? Staying up all night for that gospel team that is supposed to arrive at 4 a.m. Or getting up for the early morning shift? Smiling at all those people who have to walk past your desk? Being the first person that an irate father meets on campus? How about just babysitting the computer?

Trying to appeal to the appetites of about 800 people, three times a day, seven days a week is a job that takes creativity and commitment. No one has more or does it better than Kim Zylstra and his able-bodied staff. This year saw some great accomplishments in variety and quality of service. Among them were staff training sessions, a new Skillet kitchen, and communication letters to the students, faculty and staff. The changes that were most visible to the students were things like pan pizza from the Skillet, a weight control program, four flavors of ice cream at lunch and dinner, and breakfast to order on Saturday.

The yearly ritual of making a pilgrimage to Stratford, Ontario was kept this year when again several vans made the seven hour trek to that mecca of drama. This year the group saw Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man and Friedrich Schiller’s Mary Stuart. Once again, it was a trip well worth the small investment, and the weekend. 143 I FINE ARTS TRIP . . . Tom Brown, Terry Knaus, Bryan Philbeck, Jess Hopper — Cover of GQ? Mr. and Mrs. Osbeck.

On February 18th three van loads of students made their way to the inner city of Chicago on what has come to be known as the annual Fine Arts Trip. These students and faculty members enjoyed such cultural treats as the Chicago Art Institute, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Holy Name Cathedral, Water Tower Place, Sears Tower, John Hancock Building, and Northwestern University where they enjoyed a dramatization of Animal Farm and a Bach concert. Even the accommodations provided a cultural experience as the girls resided at Moody Bible Institute and the guys at the city Y.M.C.A.

Have you ever heard the old adage 'Most learning takes place outside the classroom?” The summer of 1982 was proof of that lor these students from Baptist College. For three months they worked for TWA services in Yellowstone Park as maids, cooks, and waiters. Managing ro arrange their day; off togecher, they met on those days with Mr. Gates in an outdoor class on the ecology of Yellowstone. The geyser basin, flora and fauna, and conservation were only some of the topics discussed. Somehow they also managed to get in some sightseeing in this scenic wonderland. They took an entire week to travel out to Yellowstone, camping along the way, taking in the Badlands, Mt. Rushrnore, and Devils Tower. The students report that a lot of integration tool place during this time; integration of faith with life. During their weekly meetings they discovered how important each person was and how precious their Christian companionship for support throughout the week. All in all, it w; a learning experience that they will never forget. LYCEUM i An unlikely duo: Mrs. Helen Waterford and Mr. Alfons Heck retell their experiences of the Holocaust. HITLERISM AND THE HOLOCAUST They came to Baptist College on April 12, 1983. She is a liberal Jew. He is Catholic. They were both raised in Germany. Virtually everybody who attended the Lyceum lecture this year (the lyceum was condensed into one lecture this year for this special presentation) had their lives changed in some way. Mrs. Helen Waterford is one of the Jews who survived the holocaust, and not by escaping. Mr. Heck, on the other hand, was a high ranking leader in the Hitler Youth. Their life stories, intertwined in this lecture, made for spellbinding listening and thoughtful soulsearching. Mrs. Waterford had for a time lived in Holland. She paid respect to members of this audience who were part of the Dutch resistance, an added highlight to the presentation. Her tales of life in the extermination camp Auschwitz contrasted sharply with the life that Mr. Heck led during the same time. Yet they are now together touring the country to try to get people to think about the Holocaust and to not forget. Mr. Heck’s description of what he believed during that time about Hitler, and how he came to believe that, are good lessons for roday. Mrs. Waterford's heroic persistence, and lack of bitterness likewise are lessons to be cherished. 147 MILLER DORM 148 PICKITT Lisa SfadfmilJcr, MicbelJe .Mundiogejr, Becky Jordan and Cindy Buck — no Jean Kunst, Lynn Besteman, Laurie DeRidder as mOusketeers.

Rumor has it that the balcony that overlooks the pond has a great deal to do with their contented ness. The Quincer — Pickitt zap game, all-dorm prayer and share times, secret sisters, and prayer breakfasts probably all play a part in it, too. Whatever their secret is, they gave us all a taste of enjoyment when their open house featured The Wonderful World of Disney.” Good times happen in Pickitt, whether you're living there or just visiting.

Highlights of their year included a Zap 'game and party with Pickirt Dorm, the sponsoring of an all campus movie, an open door fellowship dinner, a beach party, exam week loud nights — with a half hour of legal music at a volume that would make the F.PA shudder, and an open house that was truly unforgettable.’' Thanks guys for another historic year. Sam Roach — can I come out and play? m VAN OSDEL Usually thought of as a dorm full of men who are heavy thinkers, this year the guys in V.O. did much to dispel that rumor and build a spirited, fun-loving image. Their open house, V.O. Hospital” had everything from a M.A.S.I1. unit to a public display of modern ' OR. practices! A section party at Christmas ended with a marshmallow fight which involved the girls from Millet who were out caroling. One night the guys from V.O. met a challenge from the Quincerites in a midnight football game. Various tournaments in the game area provided for inter-dorm competition. V.O. lounge acquired a new color television set this year which has made it a great gathering area for those who want to relax and catch some tube. Special speakers have also provided spiritual and intellectual stimulation. Jim Knight needing a maid, quick'. Dave Sterkenberg doing what V.O. is famous for. APARTMENT LIFE Those beautiful apartments across the pond, the envy of many an undergraduate. OnJy the select few, seemingly, get the OK to move off campus. For those few it can be a near heaven, despite the further walk to class across a very cold campus. The lure of apartment life draws many: no roomchecks, late pet’s, noisy hallways, etc. But it does have its drawbacks. When that pile of dishes in the sink almost topples, you may have to be the one that washes them. And what embarrassment when your friends from across the pond visit, and your apartment is a wreck! Such is life. Apartment life can be relaxing for Jenny Kilgore and Katie Cole. But it does have its drawbacks!! 153 THE REAL ME!
