Juanita Shirk Amnesty Int’l. Peace Fellowship A fall event for over forty students and faculty was a trip to Washington, D. C. in protest of the annual arms bazaar held at the Washington Sheraton. A worship service was held next to the hotel with singing and messages from Jim Wallis and other church leaders in the city. The gathering was a Christian response of hope in the midst of blatant militarism. Rick Rutt Happenings 27

Spiritual Emphasis Week The week of September 27-30 brought Truman Brunk on campus for Spiritual Em- phasis Week. Speaking in both the mornings and evenings, Truman spoke on such issues as male female relationships, militarism in our time, evil in today’s world, and suffering. Spring Spiritual Emphasis Week was held March 21-25. John L. Ruth, a historian and pastor from Pennsylvania, was the speaker. His messages on the subject of Anabaptism fit in well with Martyr’s Mirror, which was performed later in the spring. Linda Huber, Truman Brunk Mary Johnston, Lee Eshleman, Deb Rissler 26 Happenings
