This summer after a seven year presidency, President Detwei- ler will be succeeded by president — elect Joseph Lapp. He will then continue working in Harrisonburg as in- terim pastor of Harrisonburg Mennonite Church. Later he plans to work in pastoral train- ing programs. Although his talents will be appreciated in these new en- deavors, his presence will be missed at Eastern Mennonite College. The EMC campus has enjoyed President Detweiler's sense of humor, his obvious interest in student affairs, and the positive approach he brings to life. His witty chapels have kept students inspired to continue working amidst all kinds of doldrums. Yet behind the clever puns, and insightful jokes, is a deep sense of spiri- tuality. At a time when many students are searching for a way , the sense that President Detweiler conveys that God indeed walks with us is in- credibly comforting. As well as contributing to the life of the campus and to the lives of EMC students, President Detweiler has learned from the students.This contact with students that President Detweiler has experienced will be one of the things missed when he leaves EMC. Yet new oppurtunites are also exciting, and President Detweiler looks forward to the years ahead with the same positive approach to life that has made his presidency here so successful.

The search for abundancy starts precariously at Freshman Orientation, and it continues throughout late night pizzas, romance, hard questions in foreign places, and lots of tests. At times there is turbulence; the footing is unsure, and the rules no lon- ger apply. Then new thinking and invigorating prayer make a taunt tightrope and the way again can become clear. 32 mm mmm mm maxi SB! •V XBtffli . . ?•: : ■ -■ i' ai •: ■' mmg mm .■ ■: ,V- -• - iSrV .-- . , 33 Susan D.

What makes me spe- cial? I’m a person who faces the same things that everyone else does. Because Laura Hills has cerebral palsy, a disease that affects the muscles of the extremities and fine motor control, other people have sometimes made judgements about her based on outside appear- ance. Laura, however, has come to realize that is not her problem — it's the ignorance of others. Consequ- ently, she would like to increase un- derstanding. After four years in a school for the handicapped, Laura, with her mother’s support, and action main- streamed into the public schools. Mom felt I needed to learn how to live in the walking world. This required a few modifications for the school, such as wheel chair access- ibility and teacher sensitivity to the time it takes her to write. Her pres- ence at EMC is a tribute to her mother and to her own outgoing, and articulate personality. Laura appreciates EMC’s caring atmosphere, as well as everyone’s willingness to help; however, she does as much as she can in- dependently. She insists that handi- capped people are not as fragile as they might seem. The first thing they teach you is how to fall!” They most important thing to re- member about Laura is that, I’m a person trying to do God’s will, first and foremost. I’m really no differnt than anyone else.

Craig Sottolano is a quirky blend of intensity and whimsical humor. Warm and soci- able, he is the sort of person who fits easily into almost every situation. He, however, is NOT the sort of person to give you a straight answer. Asked from where he comes, he will tell you Oh, somewhere in Pennsyl- vania. Nowhere specific.” His major? His life goals? English Ed, or maybe religion. Who knows? And my goal right now is to figure out my goals.” What he really wants to do is be involved in movies. I'd like to be a Woody Allen type; to write, direct and act in my own productions.” Craig has always ben into enter- tainment and performance. At Christopher Dock, he was involved in mainstage productions, one act plays, poetry readings and general class clowning. I like acting, he says. It’s a great way to meet new people and try new things. It also gets me attention! Craig got lots of attention during EMC’s fall production, Found a Peanut.” In it, he played five year old little Earl — the first cute little kid role he has ever had. In high school, I always played villain. This was a different role entirely. Basical- ly, I got to be myself on stage! And being himself is what he does best.

They brought with them recipes for seaweed soup and tempora, and taught jennifer that intricate art of paper folding called orgami. To reciprocate, the Kulps showed them how to feed the calves and introduced them to pizza and hot dogs. A lapanese-American cultural ex- change had begun. The Kulps have been involved in LABO, a language exchange program organized by the 4-H club. The organ- ization was looking for host families, and Jennifer's family decided it sounded in- teresting. It has been,” says Jennifer, our very best experience. Jennifer's best experience was with Kiyomi, a fourteen year old girl. We were both the same age. Jennifer re- members, she and I made friends right away. I would say a word, any word—names of things on the farm, my friends names—in English, and she would tell me what it was in lapanese. It was a wonderful summer. From their contact with these Japanese friends, the Kulp family has learned to appreciate the Japanese cul- ture; presently, the family is planning a trip to Japan. It will be out turn to ex- perience instead of teach. I can't wait to find out what it’s like to be on the other side of the process!

Or hiked for four days from Pennsyvania to the Atlantic Ocean in New lersey? Jeff Spicher has! The sophmore from Irwin, Pa (near Pittsburg) is an authentic out-of-doors guy. He traveled through Germany with a friend the summer before coming to EMC and would love to bike across the United States someday. Jeff is the youngest in his family of five. His brother graduated from EMC and went on to become a doctor, and Jeff seems to be following suite. He also plans to go into medicine, or perhaps teach biology. Voluntary Service or missionary work in Africa are also possibilities left's current interests are as diverse as his future plans, and his in- volment in campus activities proves it. He's been involved in the Homecoming Committee, Campus Activities Committee, and various in- tramural sports. Currently, he is a Student Government Association senator for Roselawn. EMC has embraced Jeff Spicher as one of its own, and he returns the feeling. I love it here. I’m enjoying myself tremendously.

Wendy Hange did not originally plan to come to EMC. The college of her first choice had a full freshman class when she enrolled, so Wendy came here for her first semester and decided to stay. EMC gained a talented basketball player in the process. Was it basketball Which helped her make a decision? Wendy admits that being established on the team had some effect on the outcome, but that her main reason for staying was the friends she had made here. EMC's Health and Physical Education program, my major, also looked pretty good to me.” Wendy, who has played basketball since the seventh grade, identifies group dynamics and personal challenge as the two elements which got her hooked on the sport. Everyone works together for a goal, no matter what your role might be. The Lady Royals win alot of games with Wendy as their center, but even the best teams lose once in a while. She claims it doesn't really matter. ”1 play basketball for fun, not just to win. She usually evaluates her perform- ance to see if there were any ways she could have made a difference. You sulk a while, then you realize you have to try again.” And the rowdy crowds at EMC can make all the difference in that second try. Wendy suggests that fan partici- pation may even help win games. Knowing they're behind us, it's awe- some. They help alot! Well, EMC is definately behind her. Go Lady Royals!

Gary M. Nolt Leola, PA Molly Padgett Waynesboro, VA Natalie Page Lexington, VA Tracy D. Peters Goshen, VA (Sales from (Ertrtthah When Richard Nath came to Virginia from Trinidad five years ago, his parents didn't think he would stay. I didn’t know it at the time, he said, But they had a plane ticket waiting for me in case I decided to return home.” He, of course, opted to remain, first at EMHS and then here at EMC. I just made up my mind, and things went very smoothly. Richard feels he made the right choice. I really like it here. EMC is a small community, and quiet. I need that right now. And the size gives me opportunites to meet different kinds of students. Open and friendly, people seem to be what makes Richard tick. 1 like get- ting to know others one on one. I also enjoy challenges in a relationship. If I meet someone who is very different from me, someone I would not ordi- narily get to know, it makes me more determined than ever to do just that. Richard seeks challenges in everyth- ing he does. His sheer enjoyment of living expresses itself in his constant search for the unique things in life. I don't like to settle for the trite, the mundane. I like to find new angles on things. It’s stifling to settle for less. He describes himself as easy-going, laid back and fairly quiet, although some people would disagree. And now the biology major with the impeccable manners and fashionable clothes is almost ready to leave again. After one more year at EMC, Richard thinks he would like to enter the optometry field, or maybe even teach biology. Maybe. Whatever he finally decides to do, one thing is certain. He will probably succeed. 56 luniors Rebecca Planck Hagerstown, MD Neil Reinford Kulpsville, PA Ann L.

Seniors have teetered, turned, twisted, and remained on the tightrope. Goals have been conquered and issues clarified. Yet in the distance, suspended higher is a new rope waiting to be walked. This rope can sag more easily; there are less mentors available to keep the rope taunt; the chasm is wider with a new challenge. And the question remains, will the walk still be abundant? 60 61 Munir Abu Znaid Hebron, Palestine Business Administration Laura Mary Adler Issaquat, WA Community Nutrition Sandy Alberte Reinholds.

I want to work on getting the youth, especially the un- churched youth, integrated. And I don't want to bored! Life with Carmen could hardly get boring. Ask her roommate lean Thomas. She is the person Carmen is most like, We had to get along, says Carmen. They put us together in this little, eight by eleven room. But we were a good match. We're alike in everything — both sopho- more transfers, same major, same weight, same allergies, everything but religion. It's great!” Last summer, she and lean initia- ted the Alaska Cross Cultural Seminar together. And all because Carmen wanted to do something different. She takes real pride in her cultural difference, too, making sure people know she is Canadian and proud of it. You sort of have to or you get lost in the crowd, she admits.

Hunsecker Boyds, MD Nursing History With There's no future in his- tory.” This is a statement that Doug Geib, one of EMC’s few history majors, has heard repetedly. Doug, who gradu- ates this spring with a degree in history education, disagrees both philosophically and pragmatically with this. Un- derstanding the history and lifestyles of past peoples en- riches one perspective on life a way that strict attention to daily details cannot do.” Doug also believes that preserving our histories, both personal and global, for the children of the 21st century is an impor- tant role for us to accept. Not only is history impor- tant to the development of in- tellect, but it has obvious prac- tical applications in the present career world. Doug points to a meeting of history majors during Homecoming to illustrate this point. Several of EMC's past history majors cl Future e since become lawyers, including president-elect Joseph Lapp. Another said that his history major was as strong a preparation for the business world as the stan- dard business program. Doug himself is planning to apply his study of history to the area of high school educa- tion, preferably in a public high school setting. He be- lieves that in that situation he will need to relate carefully the facts of historical events, offering a variety of interpre- tations without relying heavily on his own ideology. Relying too strongly on one’s personal dogma can alienate students. I do, however, want to put em- phasis on the influence that religion has on history. With all the preparation and planning behind him, Doug is now going out to make history.

To some this might apearasan incongruent combination; however, her involvement in this area is a natural result of her perspective towards others. People in general really need love and attention. She (my grandmother) really needs to know that she is someone special.” For Annette's adopted grandmother this year has brought several changes due to failing health and a move to the newly completed Oaklea nursing facility that have made it espe- cially important that she have others present. Through the fall and winter they have read a portion of Psalms, poetry, and religious fiction together. Occasionally, the two of them attend singing time” at Oaklea. We really have a good time together,” explains Annette. Annette has been able to bring hope and stability to her grandmother as she faces a time of changes that are not easily understood or accepted. Clearly, Annette has also benefited from her acquaintance with this friend. From their relationship she has been exposed to a perspective on life that is quite different than that of young adult of the late twentieth century. Annette describes her experience quite concisely when she says, I respect her very much; she has had so many experiences.

Left: Astrophysicist Owen Gingerich delivers the commencement address. v Graduation On May 3, 1987, 206 students graduated from Eastern mennonite College. The tradi- tional commencement rain made its annual appearance as participants nervously watched foreboding clouds move over the Hill, to a strategic spot directly above the Commencement exercises. The rain did hold off for Harvard astrophysicist, Owen Gingerich as he gave the commencement address. Gingerich reminded graduates that as humans we have been give consciousness, creativity and conscience. This means that we do not have to accept a mechanistic, pre- determined approach to live, but we are free to choose to grow beyond our programmed destiny and alter the suicidal course of human history.” After the commencement address, graduates received their diplomas in record timeas rain became increasingly im- minent. There was pause for laughter as each student shaking President Detweiler's hand donated seven pennies symbolizing President Detweiler's seven year stay at EMC. It wasn’t until the last graduates were receiving diplomas that the rain really began to come, and the joyful abandon that comes with graduation seemed especially apparent as graduates ran for cover, instead of recessing formally out of the commencement ceremony.

Wisdom revealed while struggling with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, a William Faulkner novel, or a Non-Euclidean geometry proof can lead to new depths of spiritual and intellectual in- sight. Successful applications of theory to a day at nurs- ing clinicals or the student teaching experience con- firm the rightness of the rope we are walking and the chasm we are crossing. ! 96 97 BIBLE Below: Dale Leverknight finds some Biblical humor with Professor Steve Dintaman. Majoring in Minors The Bible Department is trying to respond to people who want students better equipped for youth leadership. Ray Gingerich During a recent brainstorming session members of the Bible Department, along with John Martin of Seminary, Admissions staff lerry Miller and Ross Collingwood, and Physical Education Professor Orv Gingerich, came up with a creative new curriculum tenatively titled Youth Ministries, which could exist either as a major or a minor. This is not a replacement of the existing Camping, Recreation and Youth Ministries major offered by the Phys Ed department, but an expansion, and additional track with an emphasis on Bible. Above; Bary Kreider and Calvin Shenk review class schedules.

EMC biology students have the unique oppurtunity to contribute to the forefront of research on benign prostatic hypertrophy, a project directed by biology professor Roman Miller. The development of this project has been a definite benefit to the biology program. In addition the biology department is currently look- ing closely at their curriculum with the intention ofM changing some aspects of its design. Most specifically, changes will be made in order to more effectively in-f— t tegrate the newly added dietetics program into thel J department. |— □ n Biology 99 BUSINESS Right: Larion Hostetler applies his compu- ter skills in the new IBM PC lab.

All we're doing is providing a little more structure. Ronald Stoltzfus In the past, if business students were interested in an internship, the responsibility for securing such a position was entirely up to them. Now, however, the department has organized the program and aids in student placement. During the Spring semester, fourteen people became involved in the revised business internship program. Students earned three credit hours working and learning at such places as public accounting firms, Mennonite Board of Missions, Park View Federal Credit Union, and the Rockingham county system. The business department is also working on its admissions policy, as are many of the other departments.

Covering everything from American History to Politi- cal Science to Peace and justice, the department seems to have a little something for every one. In keeping with EMC’s image of Global Villiage awareness, Latin American issues are prominant, as is the idea of working toward peace. The forgotten people are studied-the poor, blacks, women.

Giving the Arts a Chance Liberal Arts assumes strong responsibility to provide opportunities for the arts. Music is one representation of that. Steve Sachs Marge Maust, leading the Costa Rican Cross Cultural seminar, was missed second semester, but the Music Department carried bravely on without her. Music and music education majors continue to aprreciate the variety of courses offered, both vocal and instrumental. The program is designed to provide richness and variety for everyone to participate in. And of course, there’s the wonderful faculty. 108 Music Room to Grow There is ALWAYS something going on in the Nursing department! Beryl Brubaker The most obvious change in the department this year is its new location. Nursing, along with the Business department, has taken over the entire second floor of the Campus Center.

One of the most exciting events the group planned was an all day fast. Those volunteering to paticipate were given one meal, served soup kitchen style. The idea was to recreate as nearly as possible the atmosphere of a real soup kitchen and to give those involved a small taste of what life on the street must be like. It worked!

Continuing Education I IS CONTINUING EDUCATION WSSY We were eleven people thrown together in one house in a strange city. What did we become? The answer is friends. Well, not just friends but a support group from which to confront the biggest challenges of our lives. Strangely - enough, friendships became even stronger as we found out all the things we never - wanted to know about each other. Internships allowed us to establish relationships outside our normal social circles. We found friends among political act visits on Capitol Hill, professionals in news media, low income residents and homeless persons of the inner city. We also experienced the freedom of new possibilities, open-mindedness and anonymity of the city and secular university. We had the opportunity to choose from a mind-boggling range of courses unavailable at EMC including subjects such as Afro-American and women’s studies. Wednesday after- noon seminar led by Jackie Sabath and Nelson Good, WSSY coor- dinators, offered us a free and comfortable forum to discuss the tough moral and ethical questions posed buy a modern and urban society. The city presented us with un- limited choices of entertainment, as well as cultural and practical learning experiences. Our experiences ranged beyond the warmth of close friendship and the ex- citement of new possibilities. They also included the frustration of internship challenges that at times seemed beyond us. We felt bitter anger and then sadness when we saw racism, sexism, poverty and oppression in our society. But finally we also experienced the satisfaction of tackling most of the challenges we found before us and of realizing that we had received new in- sights and abilities. i I.

When I first heard these words the winter of my freshman year, I had no idea how much they would change my whole life. Nonchalantly, almost without thinking, I signed the dotted line. I added Spanish to my English major. I got accepted into the Brethren Colleges Abroad (BCA) program in Barcelona, Spain. It was so easy. 1 had absolutely no way of knowing what I was getting myself into. The other two Eastern Mennonite students who joined me in this adventure were Rose Schlabach and Sean Smallman, both junior Spanish education majors. Together with the rest of the BCA group, we attended classes taught by Spanish professors at the Univer- sity of Barcelona, five days a week. We went on excursions to Andalucia in the south of Spain and to Madrid, the capital. We all lived, in ones or twos or threes, with Spanish families who took us into their homes and taught us more about life in Barcelona. We shared in the up- roarious city-wide joy when, on October 17, Barcelona was named the site of the 1992 Summer Olympics. We celebrated the week-long holi- day of Carnaval, which marks the end of winter. We came to memorize every stop on all four lines of the Metro system. We learned to find our way around and feel at home in this huge European city. My horizons have been broaden- ded. Obviously 1 have learned langu- age and culture. In addition my capacity to accept people with totally new perspectives and ideals has stretched incredibly. But more than any- thing else, my stay in Spain taught me reli- ance on God. Although my faith and beliefs were tested this year, I have discovered with wonderful certainty that no matter what cir- cumstances I find myself in God is always there, and He never changes. I.

Byron Shenk put it nicely when he said, 'our objective was not so much to learn about this people and culture as it was to learn from them.” I'll never forget the way the children were drawn to Phil Landes, maybe because of his height, or the meal of salmon that melted in our mouthes. As we related to the Alaskans, I realized that they struggled with many of the same problems we face in the lower 48. Life is pretty much the same wherever you go. Why did we go to Alaska? To fulfill a cross- cultural requirement? To have some fun? To get away? Maybe, but we came home with a new awareness of a group of people who were struggling to keep their identity. Barbara Burkhart Our use of the subway is becoming regular in a sense. Once we get things worked out, I feel comfortable on the trains. I’ve also realized that New Yorkers are good at the routine travels, but don’t know exactly where to go if it's not something they do every day.... It was interesting to note the difference between 42nd Street and 6th Avenue. The activities and the people in the area were not even slightly similar. The people on 6th Avenue were mainly professionals. And the street was clean... Sunday mornings are quiet and calm. Our walk to church this morning was pleasant and we had plenty of room on the sidewalk, oddly enough. .. Leaving the city at the end of this seminar was reliev- ingly fun. Yet, I feel a little sentimental and sad thinking about this being the end.

All that country in so short a time. All that time so far from what’s familiar. It definately made an impact! First impressions of oh-so-many people, all of whom seemed to be on bicycles, speaking a language we didn't know and mov- ing about in large, antique, dusty Beijing. As we traveled farther into the center of China, our impressions deepened and clouded. The Chinese weren’t staunch emotionless robots, but they laughed! Sometimes our trip was long, tiring, boring, and dirty. Other days were risky,surprising, hilarious, and gorgeous. Separately we journaled, con- versed, explored, and just thought. Together we chopsticked around spinning dinner tables, played endless games of volleyball and scum, bumped our heads on bumpy bus rides,and compared shopping treasures. Some of us liked to snap pictures, others loved to fre- quent shopping streets, and one of us spent hours drawing. Our various travel accomodations • took us in planes, buses, trains, a boat six days of that!), and even occasionally a taxi. We climbed walls and mountains • (very LARGE mountains), strolled over swinging bridges and under swaying bamboo, viewed encased museum pieces and viewed immense Bhuddist pagodas. The pictures and stories show some of the experience. But I can never catch hold of and pin down the feeling of being deep in another culture, while at the same time feeling the exhilara- tion of the unknown. That country and its people can't be uniformly labeled any more than we can. I learned so much, but not enough.

This did a lot to promote open- mindedness. )anelle Delp The long history of the country impressed me most. Wo saw things that had keen there for a thousand years, and were still in great shape. There is so much to see, it's unbelieveahle — so much history and culture in such a small area. Kevin Leh- man Preceding Euroterm, I was skeptical as to what it could offer me.

And I don't know if our group would have become as close as it did if they had not encouraged community. There was a lot of sharing and inlerdependance within our group.

September 2 — Today it was a shock to see my fifty dollars dwindle to thirty- one pounds. I feel so touristy and helpless. Tomorrow's going to be an ex- perience when we all realize we're here! September 25—the ruins of Tintern Abbey were beautiful! The cloudy day made it even more so. It fit my mood and made the ruins seem almost haunting. Like I told Heather, I wish that the sound of the birds singing in the ruins would somehow come through on my photographs. The sight of the mountains through the window arches made a good substitute for the missing pieces of stained glass. Why does man destroy such precious pieces of history through senseless war? November 2 — After spending the weekend at Lizzy's grandma's, it was good to get back to the hostel. London has become home. What am I going to do when I can't hear Ken singing in the morning? Or hear |ohn Buck laughing like Scooby-Doo, or see )eff stumble to breakfast, or listen to little Sue describing some- thing she saw during the day? I’ll miss Lonna lying on the hall floor waiting for a shower, and Phil cooking his brussel sprouts over a little hostel stove. November 28— I came to appreciate the Brit- ish as well as learning to appreciate Americans more. Some of my best opportunites for growing stemmed from my independant study in Social psychology. When I was forced to evaluate the society, the lives of the British came into focus. And my life as an American stood naked before me. I had to laugh as I realized how ridiculous some of the British customs appear; 1 cried as I realized my own ideals seemed selfish. Finally, 1 smiled as 1 finally understood how human we both are. Lori Hosteter England 121 Central America — it ali comes back to me like a clear dream when I think about it. Twenty-three bodies put together in one place for one purpose for four months. We all joined together and embarked on an experience that would change us all and focus our attention on where we as individuals stand in our world. Gradually, each person was put into focus in my mind as I knew them betterand saw them as unique. We came from all sides of the spectrum of college students, but were drawn together by reality. And that’s the beauty of it. I discovered that there are small moments when vast things happen when rice and beans are shared in a certain way; when the children in the campo rise up and bless me simply by who they are; when I climb up a huge Mayan Temple with the solid rock beneath me and find myself above the trees where only the birds belong. When my Costa Rican family adopts me with a wide, accept- ing smile; when native Marimba music fills me with both joy and woe; when the sun sets on the Caribbean and I am filled with the splendor of God's creation. There were lovely beached, sunshine, swimming pools, beautiful art and music, warm greetings, exciting places to explore, birds, horses and wild life, And there were the dark times of amoebas, fish soup, unbearable heat, furstration, con- fusion, discomfort and sadness. But with it all were the people. Kay likes to play cards. Phyllis plays the guitar. Diane makes everyoine smile and Barry makes everyone think. My brother in costa Rica wants to be a lawyer. My sister in the campo in Micaragua wants to marry lose and live on a farm together. We all have expanded our- selves through the people we met and have become more human. And if we can break down societal and language barriers in another country, there is no reason each of us cannot do the same in our lives. X Si I.

And that former President jimmy Carter will indeed take the time to listen to a two hour concert at his home church in Plains, Georgia.

The growth of this vibrant group of musicians has been exciting and presently appears unstoppable after a series of strong tours and con- certs. Steve Sach’s enthusiastic leadership has guided the band to new levels of commitment, skill, and showmanship each year. The addition of a female vocal trio known as the Bubble Sisters during the 84'-85’ season brought a unique facet to the band's sound.

Speaking more personally, my four years in EMC jazz have been phenomenal. The bonds that have developed among the whole group as we have shared jazz with thousands of people have made my in- volvement fulfilling as well as challenging. EMC jazz has come a long way and according to Steve Sachs, has not peaked yet. The only direction we are heading is up.” Don Wert Top: Designing programs, and orchestrating seating are important functions of TAG.

Senior Joe Hollin- ger was nominated for the Southeastern Theatre Confer- ence and sophomore Darrell Gascho was nominated for the Irene Ryan Award. Participants in TAG are able to work in activities such as back- stage management, performance, and student direction. As well as providing challenge, these ex- periences are simply a lot of fun, a definite break from the doldrums of academic life. Tracy L. Prinz Above.

An important part of the year was the two support groups that EMCSWA spon- sored in conjunction with Counseling Services. These were both successful endeavors with both men and women in- volved. Another important activity for the group, was the Women’s Convention held at Goshen College. According to steering committee member Kate Brainard, the interaction between the group on the trip to and from Goshen, as well as the convention itself were both exciting endeavors. The con- vention was so exciting that EMCSWA is hoping to hold such a convention next year at EMC.

Their goal was to bring the presence of |esus into the fellowship of the student community. They did this by facilitating small groups, relating to the wounded among us, and peer counseling. Second semester they challenged the EMC community to participate in prayer focused at the cutting edge of college life. The prayer of the DC’s is for continued renewal in the grace and peace of Christ for the EMC community.

Several Concerts of Prayer were planned to focus on these and other concerns. A series of speakers was scheduled; speakers shared experiences, ideas and concerns as they rela- ted to their interest in mission work.

INT’L. STUDENTS While most students were heading south to enjoy Florida's sunshine, four visiting professors from mainland China, Zhou Yu- Bo, Wang |un-Ping, Wang Hong Tao, and Li Chen Ren drove north with Jacalyn Shirk and Mary Tee. Through Mennonite-Your-Way , we visited four major cities of the east coast: Baltimore, Philadel- phia, New York and Boston. The professors enjoyed the city lights and skyscrapers, espe- cially in New York City. They took pictures of everything, and Jun- Ping joked about snapping a garbage scene in New York and sending it to President Reagan as a reminder to do something about the trash problem. They cooked several Chinese meals for us, and we al atended a Chinese Mennonite church here in Harri- sonburg. The trip was full of laughter and cultural exchange, and we enjoyed our spring break very much.

Structurally, there were some positive changes made: the number of student senators was decreased making the group less cumbersome, there was a definite emphasis put on checking back with the student body on various decisions in the making and Robert’s Rules of Order were rein- stated in the meeting format. SGA was also present at important campus meetings with representa- tives at Board of Trustee meetings and Academic Council meetings; however, it seemed that the student governing organization fell short when it came to touching issues at the heart of EMC student life. A key question remains, and that is, does the student body at EMC really want an assertive fast-paced SGA, or is the idea of changes, reforms and new ideas not a welcome one to the 1986-87 EMC student campus?

Youth Convention Spring at EMC brings forsythia, robins, tennis and busloads, vanloads and carloads of youth” longing to experience life in the college setting. It is Youth Conven- tion, one of the more carefully orchestrated events on EMC campus, that bring these zealous souls to EMC. This year the weekend centered on the theme Cloning Around”. Workshops on the topic were led by Brad and Marian Eberly who en- couraged participants to accept the different path of Christianity with courage and integrity. Youth con- ventioners also participated in Saturday morning seminars which included a drama workshop, a dis- cussion on peace and justice issues, and a seminar on the Christian athlete. Saturday evening the con- vention culminated with a Steve Taylor concert. With a 1983 release of I Want to Be a Clone , his music and ideas fit perfectly into the weekend theme. Sunday afternoon the same busloads, vanloads, and carloads left EMC with riders wornout by the constant activity of the weekend, but invigorated by new ideas and the good interaction provided by the 1987 Youth Convention.

For me, being a resident asistant this year has been a rewarding experience; my floor was a closely knit group and we established many friendships. I also had my challenges — like finding some quiet time for myself and God, learning to accept criticism, and balancing my frienships with my authority role.

The year began with the Annual Pignic ; new energy was added to the event with a water balloon toss, a mega-sized volley- ball game along with the usual tug'o- war and pig chase. The committee also planned a Christmas party in the new Campus Center, a Valentine's Banquet held at Belle Meade Restaurant, square dances, a hay ride and a host of other fun activities.

Winter 1987 marked the advent of a more flamboyant format for the twenty-one year old Bard’s Nest. After deciding that tea. bagels and quiet back- ground music did not always apply to the 1987 EMC academician, the committee planned a series of new activities. Highlights of the year included sipping strawberry sodas for two on Valentine’s Day weekend, a discussion led by Christian musician Steve Taylor on the Christian music industry, and a carnival” complete with a dunking booth and the premier showing of EMC’s first-ever silent film Organizations 141 Young People’s Christian Association Young People s Christian Organization is one of the oldest on campus. Started in 1922, the group's objectives were, to en- list the cooperation of all Christian students to strengthen the spiritual life of the school; to promote growth in Christian character, fellowship and agressive Chris- tian work; to train its members for Chris- tian service and to teach them to devote their lives to )esus Christ. The focus of the group was highly evangelical with students planting churches in mountain areas, distributing trcts, visiting jails, and leading Bible studies in Harrisonburg's poorer sections. The YPCA s activities were also central to campus organization. Religious life, including prayer circles, Fri- day devotionals, and Sunday moring mis- sion meetings was planned by the committee. Another important function of the YPCA was to provide financial support for theyoung school. For example, in 1926, $ 1200 was raised by the YPCA to help fund the new chapel in the South annex of the Administration Building. Few students today realize the rich heritage and history behind the student group; yet the idealism and the vision that instigated the YPCA still exist today. The executive committee organizes eight commissions with roles as diverse as building houses in Georgia to reading Psalms to an older woman at Oaklea nurs- ing facility. The emphasis on service seems to be more apparent than the previous focus on evangelism, although few would question that evangelism is an important part of the group's activities. Above.

Two vanloads headed south over Spring Break to for work on a housing project in Georgia and cleanup in a Mississippi. Gospel Teams Two Gospel Teams were sent out this year during Spring Break. One team which went to Philadelphia centered the theme of their program on the true meaning of being a Christian. A second team traveled to Knoxville and Mayland, Tennessee, and Raleigh, North Carolina. Their programs focused on the import- ance of commitment to Jesus everyday. Y Churches Y Churches help to develop the spe- cial gifts of the students involved as well as providing the congregation with dedi- cated Christian persons who are willing to commit themselves to serving Christ and His Kingdom. The individual churches become a warm, refreshing place for those seeking a church home.

I 1 I Weathervane From a challenge for president-elect |oe Lapp to issues of South Africa and Nicaragua, the Weather Vane went for the broad scope this year. The publication raised an introspective question: Who are we, EMC? Faith, money and Academics were three issue themes in the fall. In the spring, there were more ques- tions: What is our image? What is our future? What are our priorities? For the first year, the Weather Vane had columns coming from EMC's cross- cultural experiences; the En- gland and Central America teams reported throughout their semesters abroad. Up- beat Washington”, written by WSSY students, gave challenges on homelessness, AIDS and poverty. An EMC student in Nicaragua wrote La Vista”, giving a perspective not normally found in newspapers. From the introduction of a computer into the Weather Vane office, to an issue with a sixteen page spread, to an ex- perimental thematic approach, the Weather Vane has been on the cutting edge. Jeanette Good 146 Organizations Shenandoah When approaching the task of compi- ling a yearbook, a staff has a continuum of approaches possible. At one extreme, there is the scrapbook approach which fills a yearbook with attractive well-composed photographs, and a lot of fond memories. At the other extreme is the historical document approach which attempts to address the facts, the issues, and the politics of the school year. As the 1986-1987 Shenandoah staff we attempted to find a balance on this line. We believed that out of the facts and the issues of the year arise stories, people and memories that need to be recorded. While searching for our balance, we had the oppurtunity to learn a lot about aspects of EMC life. For example, while talking with Mary jane Fox about the So- cial Work Department, it was impossible not to get excited as she enthusiastical- ly related departmental goals for the next years. And then there was the fasci- nating experience of learning who all the night watchmen were as they came through the student center to lock us in ! Most importantly, as we worked with the theme of Abundant Living we were required to look inward and ask our- selves how each of us choose to live abundantly. Together in the context of a living and working God. we learn to bal- ance the joys of beauty, intellectual curiousity, relationships, and hard work, and together we learn to experience the freedom and the responsibility of the abundant life.

With the Campus Center there has been a focus on an elegant style new to the EMC campus. The Arts thrive with an accomplished Chamber Singers and three mainstage theatrical productions; yet at times the Arts seem to struggle forattention with a dwindling emphasis on the Visual Arts. Issues of spiritual renewal and social action contribute to spiritual life on campus. And amidst all of these larger issues are the serious, silly and chaotic lives of EMC college students. 148 81; § wmm ■ : ESS Saw MP Wiivfi S ES 149 Campus Center The dedication of the new Campus center took place Saturday, October II. The brass ensemble played a prelude and Dr. Lee Yoder, former Director of Advancement and Associate Professor of Education, welcomed the crowd, which numbered well over hundred. The invocation was given by Harry A. Brunk, Professor Em- eritus of History. Other speakers at the dedication included former President Myron Augsberger, Director of Development David Miller, and a host of student representatives including Lynn Shertzer and Pete Harnish, co- presidents of the SGA. Annette Beachy, an education major, business student Lawrence Yoder, nursing major Lela Faye Yoder and Lauri Headings, English, were also on hand, represent- ing their respective departments. The decision to build the existing center was made in May of 1984. At that time, administration opted to erect a new center rather than rebuilding the old one, destroyed by fire in 1983. As of September 30, 1986, the four million dollar campus center project had been fully funded with an additional fifty thousand dollars pled- ged for artwork and equipment. Gifts ranged from twenty-five dollars to six thousand, and came from alumni, community friends, trustees, faculty, staff, retirees, foundations and corpor- ations. Now, near the main doors of this welcome addition, there is a corner- stone filled with EMC's history, newspaper accounts of the fire, a brick from the old building and the dedica- tion booklet describing how the new center became a reality. lennifer Brady Upper: EMC students take part in the litany written by I.

Suter Endowed Biol- ogy Chair was recognized. This event marked the first establishment of an academic chair at EMC and a new step in the development of academics at EMC. The chair, funded at $700,000 was es- tablished in honor of professor emeritus of biology, Dr. Daniel B. Suter. Dr. Suter during his 38 years at EMC has helped to establish EMC’s renowned biology and pre-med program. The chair will help to promote the program with funding available in areas of faculty support, program and student scholarships. The first professor appoin- ted to the chair is Dr. Roman ). Miller com- ing to EMC from West Virginia University Medical Center. For Dr. Miller this posi- tion has inspired several goals for his work within the biology department. Dr. Miller would like to expand the pre-medical program into a pre-professional health sciences program. In addition he has es- tablished a research project for under- graduates, and he would like to expand that program. For Dr. Suter the establishment of the chair has been, a real honor. It has been very meaningful for me to see alumni and friends of the school support the program so readily. As always Dr. Suter is excited about watching the department develop- ment, It will be exciting to watch the program develop further.” Elizabeth Witmer Upper right: Pre-meds Pete Harnish, Joel Lehman, and Don Wert converse during the reception for the recognition of the Dr. Suter chair.

Old grads, alumni, and alumni-to-be strolled through the new building admiring the new addition to the EMC campus. Smells of baklava and coffee convinced many to take a break on the side- walk cafe” set up on the second floor belvedere. The theme of Homecoming centered around the Global Village and cross-cultural awareness. Friday night the weekend began with a banquet in the cafeteria featuring a variety of international foods, and banners designed by Lee Eshelman. The second annual Homecoming Fair was another big attraction for weekend events. Campus organizations and academic departments designed boothes featuring their depart- ments. Saturday the festivities continued with numerous class reunions. To supplement the reunions, activities for children were provided. Homecoming 1986 will be remembered as one of the largest gatherings of EMC alumni, and the grand dedication of the Campus Center.

Disability Awareness Days October 29-31 was the date of this year’s Disabilities Awareness Days, and annual EMC event. Various activities were planned to make students aware of the special needs handicapped people face. Things got started with an assembly led by Judy Mullet, an assistant professor of education, on Wednesday morning. She challenged us to find a handicapped per- son and get real.” Also on Wednesday, ten students spent the day in wheel chairs in an attempt to discover the access problems faced by wheelchair bound people. This project was organized by Tony Wright, who spends all of his days in one. Friday morning's assembly was led by Harold Wilke. Despite his own handicap, Wilke has become a speaker, minister, and author. The title of his message was Using Everything You've Got. The traditional wheelchair basketball game was played Friday night. EMC students and faculty were pitted against students from Woodrow Wilson Rehabilit- ation Center, and Woodrow Wilson em- ereged with a resounding victory over the (bumbling) EMC players.

The title of Duffy's assembly talks, Choose Your Own Adventure, eomes from a series of books by the smae name which tell a story by letting the reader de- cide which option the character takes. Applying this to real life, Duffy picked three choices one makes in his or her life- time: MASTER (whom to follow), MAJOR (what to do), and MATE (whom to marry). Then he provided aids in deciding the best option for each point or issue, citing examples of helpful or harmful decisions made by Biblical characters. Addressing the larger campus commu- nity, Duffy focused on the topic of relationships during two of his evening sessions: Now is the Time to Put Up with Each Other and Developing and Main- taining Friendships on a College Campus. Rather than detracting from the serious tone of the week, Duffy's humor was an ef- fective vehicle for the substantial mess- age he dispatched. We enjoyed both his insights and his method of presentation.

This event, a historically rare one, will live fondly in the memory of many EMC students. For a few diligent souls, the day was carefully used catching up on reading, writing up labs, finish- ing papers. And for a considerably larger group of people, the thought of spending a free day in such manner was considered and then discarded. Dur- ing the day numerous students careened down The Hill on borrowed cafeteria trays, and countless chocolate chip cookies and cups of hot chocolate were consumed in the spirit of the event. Groups of dorm students congregated in each others’rooms for sessions of chatter discussion and laughter. Off campus camaraderie reigned as everyone helped everyone else dig each othyer out of the snow, lovial invitations for coffee then followed, and people gathered around each others' kitchen tables for more talk. Unfortunately, the reality of Tuesday morning hit very quickly. Students mustered up considerable courage to face the unfinished assignments, the blasting cold, and the icy sidewalks; however, the memories that last will not be of that Tuesday, but of the blissfully free Monday, January 26.

The return to school marked by floral patterns and savage tans also seems to herald a hot sun, daffodils, tulipsand sunbatherson the hill behind Roselawn. Late at night the campus still seems alive. People sit on the steps of the campus center. Laughter, screams and cheers indicate the delivery of one more person into the fountain (i.e. fishbond). Several highlights of Spring 1987 will remain as fond memories. Valentine's Day featured a formal Valentine's Banquet off campus at the Belle Meade Restaurant Nearly 200 couples participated in the gala event with entertainment provided by EMC Jazz ensemble, and Omar Eby. President-Elect Joseph Lapp bravely spent a week in Oakwood dorm while spending time with students listening to ex- pectations and answering questions. The campus roared with the Spring Arts Festival which focused on the 1920 s with its theme, The Beautiful and the Damned. Events included the first-ever-silent- movie-filmed-on-campus, an elaborate banquet, Stardust , and a variety of workshops. Spring at EMC is also an important time for self- evaluation. At a time when there are so many good and bad distractions, choosing aspects of life which are priorities is a necessary part of the year. If this is not done Spring is not a time of joyful Celebration, but a time for careless and empty floundering. Above: Curt Yoder and Lisa Zendt prepare for a gala evening at the Stardust Banquet.

Sweat, rac- ing pulses, pain, joy, loss, and victory lead us to a new sense of ourselves and community. Long van rides can mean good dis- cussions and fun times, or they can mean a lot of cramped, tired bodies. Games can be the ultimate in exhilirating confidence or the epitome of anguish and defeat. And the biggest contest remains within ourown minds; howfarcan we push, how much can we work for team instead of ourselves, how much concentration and time can we give? 178 179 f T i4e tc M Em i Middle: EMC cheerleaders (clockwise) Phil Lehman, Kent Widrick, Luke Miller, Spencer Swartzendruber, Rod Yoder, and )oe Widrick add a new meaning to spirit at the EMC basketball games.

Sports 181 VOLLEYBALL Dauntless Dynamics EMC's women's volleyball team played through another fast-paced, dynamic season. Winning the title of ODAC champions for the fifth season in a row, the Royals accumulated a won-loss record of 11-0 in con- ference play. Individual ODAC recognition was given to Charlene Yutzy, Carmen Good, Noel King, and jewel Lehman who was honored as ODAC player of the year for the third consecutive year. Other season highlights came for the team during the Galludet invitational where the Royals won all five matches, 2-0. There was a lot of unity among the players; all the women on the team were work- ing towards a similar goal, ex- plains Coach Patti Helton when she speaks of the teams success. Another key to the season was the depth of the players. Essen- tially, we had eight starters, says Helton. Although the season seemed nearly perfect with a 27-5 record against division III opponents and a 2-1 record against Division I, II, and NAIA opponents, there were also some disappointing moments throughout the sea- son. Most frustrating was the loss to Western Maryland college when EMC won the first match 15-5 and lost the second and third 13-15. EMC had been ranked higher than Western Maryland, and this cliff-hanging loss changed EMC’s ranking. At this point the 1987 season is all ready looking exciting. Although four key players will be lost to graduation, there is a good foundation remaining and some promising recruits who plan to play in the fall. It appears that top-notch volleyball has become an EMC institution.

For coach Sandy Brownscombe and her team the 1986 hockey season was punctuated by a series of ups and downs. There was the weekend that Coach Brownscombe describes as the Pennsylvania Massacre” when the team gave up more goals in two games than last year's team gave up in a year. In sharp contrast the EMC hockey team beat Roanoke in ODAC semi-finals in double overtime with senior Donna Frey's winning goal. Many new players were incorpora- ted into this year's team, and that necessitated a lot of flexibility among players. Discussing her approach to- wards field hockey, Sandy Brow- nscombe says, Hockey to me is a progression, a coming together as a unit.” This process involved a lot of major changes within the team. Defensive players were moved to offense; players who had played the same position for three years were suddenly given new places on the team. After these moves, during the Frostburg game, the team really began to click. Co-captain Ann Kauff- man compares the process to the work of putting a puzzle together There’s a lot of moving around; then the pieces finally fit! It was this work- ing together that contributed to a truly unified team Senior Donna Frey says of her team, We were real- ly a close team who stuck together. The cohesiveness of the team yiel- ded an excellent season. The Lady Royals finished 9-2-6, and second in the ODAC conference. The future for the EMC team looks extremely bright EMC's team has received national attention especial- ly in the East with invitations to two prestigous tournaments. Next year’s team will be built on much of the same foundation set during this ex- citing. productive 1986 season promising for an equally interesting team in 1987.

Injuries, a small team and a lack of depth were obstacles that even good humor, unity, and hard work could not surmount. Coach Byron Shenk emphasizes this teams ability to keep working in spite of frus- trating series of obstacles. The last two-thirds of the season were played knowing that we had a tough row to how; yet the team played as nearly to our potential as possible. For the team there were highlights throughout the sea- son. EMC obtained a I -0 victory over Roanoke’s consistently strong team. In addition EMC nearly missed winning over conference champs, Wash- ington Lee in overtime play. Although the loss was dis- appointing, the team played well throughout the match.First-team all ODAC player Todd Shenk points to the Philadelphia and Virginia Beach tournaments as good times for the team. We didn’t always win, but we were a bunch of good people and we had a lot of fun.” Next year's team will see a lot of changes with new players, and new coaching. Coach Byron Shenk is to be commended for his coaching dedicated to high standards of physical training and leadership in spiritual development.

Both the men's and women’s teams worked together under coach Kenny Layman. Although the diversity among the runners occasionally caused some dif- ficulty in planning workouts, working together was definitely a positive experience. Senior harrier Todd Weaver refers to the Saturday when the team ran up Bald Knob near Highland Retreat as a time when, we really grew together as a team.” There was additional momentum within the team as the women’s team accumulated a 4-1 record. Lori Umble refers excitedly to the Bridgewater college meet when, our women's team had the first five places. The women harriers went on to receive second place in the ODAC conference, and fifth place in the Division III regional meet. Freshman Sarah Witmer competed as one of three freshmen in the Division III national meet. The men’s team experienced a different season with a won- lost record of 2-8. However to sophomore runner Paul Shelley, the meaning of the season went deeper than scoring. I’ll always remember the season fondly. Ten years down the road, I don’t think I’ll remember our won-lost record, but I will remember the friendship and good times we had, especially our senior lead- ership which formed the team into a close-knit group.” Unlike most other EMC sports, the cross-country season does not end with ODAC tournament action. In fact Senior Todd Weaver might tell Right: Challenging each others' pace. Curt Yoder and Paul Shelley run side by side. you that it is after the official season when the excitement really begins. A traditional activity for the EMC team is for some of its members to compete in the Philadelphia marathon. This fall six of EMC’s runners competed. For Paul Shelley the 26.2 miles was a new, exhilarating experience, for Todd Weaver it was a time for achieving a personal best, and for seniors Lori Umble and Gina Bixler, the event was espe- cially meaningful.

For the 1986-1987 men's basketball team, this lesson was far too apparent. The season was not marked by an abun- dance of victory and highlights. With a 5-21 record there was simply a lot of frustration. However according to Mark Fleming who coached EMC basketball for the first time. The team never quit. That kind of perserverance pays off in intangible ways. Many of Right: Demonstrating perfect form, Phil Landes makes a jump shot look easy the players learned important lessons of positive attitudes in the context of a difficult experience. The season was not a totally joyless character-building experience. The victory over Maryville was a definite highpoint. Early in the season Maryville beat EMC by 20 points. At their second game against the team EMC came back to win by ten points. Support by the basketball fans added a lot to the season. Says Fleming, We really came to appreciate the fans presence at our games.” Contributing importantly to the sea- son, was senior Carl Whetzel who finished the season as the third lead- ing career scorer. Also important to the team was the leadership of seniors Phil Landes, Gerald Hudson, and Jon Yoder. After a lot of recruitment this spring Coach Fleming is looking forward to the 1987-1988 season.

New players have willingness to learn, and an enthusiasm that brings life to a team; however, with new players also comes in- experience making it difficult to accumulate an impressive record. The 7-15 record left the Lady Royals softball team un- daunted. We were so close to winning so many times.” explains Coach Patti Sue Helton, That really held us together and kept us moving. With only one senior on the team, the approach to the season had to be geared towards a young team. We set goals one game at a time, and we really improved during the season,” says Coach Helton. Especially important to the team was the leadership of senior pitcher Robin Little. In addition Assistant Coach Joe Widrick brought valu- able experience to the team as he put in his third year with EMC softball. Karen Martin and Rinn Siegrist led offensively with 32 hits each, just falling short of the school record of 33 hits. OPP 3 II II 13 8 11 9 19 13 12 9 6 5 3 12 9 4 4 I 8 9 4 Front row: Rinn Siegrist.

Don Sharp lAss't Coach I g Baseball Hitting the Mark The record of the EMC base- ball team certainly fails to tell the story behind the spring 1987 season. We set out at the beginning of the season with several goals, explains coach Sherman Eberly. We wanted to improve on the year before, we wanted better fielding than in the past, and we wanted to be aggressive offensively. Most notable of these achievements was the teams' strong hitting. During the sea- son eighteen homeruns were hit in twenty-one games, and seven players had batting aver- ages above 300. John Bozer contributed significantly to the team’s good hitting by batting 450 and hitting four homeruns during the season. Sophomore Curtis Sauder led in stolen bases. As a young team with only two seniors in the ranks, there was a lot of growth during the season. We were definitely a much better ball club at mid- season that at the beginning, says Eberly. While contributions by seniors Jody and Marty Lohr will certainly be missed, next year promises to be exciting with many of this year’s players returning. With more depth and experience, the team should be a lot of fun to follow. 198 Sports Sports 199 Far left: Rob Reesor waits the oncoming pitch with confidence.
