FAR Off Campus .. Winter Term It all began last spring with a long line outside Lilly Center and a long night within. A few lucky students then got to attend ori- entation sessions and pack drugs. These are the activities which prepare students for a winter term mission trip. The UCC helps send students all over the worldto experience the culture and to help those less fortunate. This year, teams could be found from the Philippines to Africa and Georgia. At each sight, students helped build facilities needed by the town and cared for the sick. . The experience is highly educational as st- udents experience a totally different culture with different languages and customs. The trip also teaches each student much about himsetherselt as hetshe discovers strengths and weaknesses not before appar- ent. This spring, the UCC decided to utilize a lottery system instead of the usual overnight wait. This way, each student has a chance to go on a mission trip and test studying and classes do not have to be sacrificed by those wishing to participate. -Tracey Bellamy A member of the medical team smiles as she prepares to help the townspeople.

Winter Term on the West Side It is often said that for Winter Term at De- Pauw a student can do just about any- thing . This held true for yet another year. For many students the greater part of Winter Term 1987 was spent in rehearsal. One of the many projects offered was the produc- tion of the musical West Side Story by the DePauw University OperatMusical Theatre. Auditions were in December, with rehears- , alsiandimore rehearsals throughout both , Winter Term sessions. At the beginning of second semester in early February, the uni- versity and Greencastle communities were exposed to the final effort to create a pow- erful performance of West Side Story. The effort was justly rewarded when all perfor- mances were sold out, including the final dress rehearsal. The casting for this particular production was done quite well. There was much diver- sity in the casting in that a wide sampling of the student population was represented. It did come as a surprise that both leading fe- males were freshmen, both of whom per- formed exceptionally well. Overall, most performances went off without a hitch with only a few minor problems for the actors to muddle through. After attending the play it was easy to see the vast amount of time and effort used to create such a production. -Stacie Deinhart 30 West Side Story Missy Kline as Anita sings about life in America.
