Make an application, try a working vacation ' L Sheri km; hether it's sunning, skiing, sleeping, or sharing the gospel, Spring Break provides the needed rest from study- ing for everyone. , Some students take ad- vantage of the 10 day vaca- tion to soak up the sun in Florida, while others spend their days skiing down the slopes of Colorado. Most of the school-weary students spend many hours sleeping in their own beds, in their own rooms at home. There are some, how- ever, who feel the urge to do something different. These students join a Student Corps of Pentecostal En- deavor SCOPE impact team. As a part of these teams, students shared their vaca- tion with others in outreach. Two teams took advantage of the opportunity to share God's message. One team traveled to Memphis, Ten- nessee. Eleven students spent hours preparing them- selves with prayer, fellow- ship, and work, striving to become a single unit for miniStry. The group ministered to one Church Of God in Christ and four Assemblies of God churches. Members went street witnessing in the Mid- America Mall and in the area of the high school, in the Memphis State University Union, to the students at the Fraser Christian Day-School, and the guys were permitted to fellowship in the Memphis Penal Farm and the Memphis Juvenile Court. The other team, consist- ing of 23 students and five chaperones, shared their vacation with the people in Roma, Texas, and Miguel Aleman, Mexico. The team painted walls, washed chairs, dug holes, built a house, and conducted services every night. Both teams returned weary, but satisfied, knowing that their Spring Break was well spent. 50, whether Spring Break is spent relaxing or ministering, it is always wel- comed as part of the semes- ter.

The announcement no classes tomorrow convinced many students to run outside for a late night snow fight. The huge flakes Kris: Iayroe quietly piled up 16 deep on Feb. 7, 1980, placing Springfield in a state of emergency. Kris: Iayroe Southerners were spellbound; Springfield was snowbound; Northerners simply asked . . . Snow much, Missouri? he spring semester always holds surprises for stu- dents, yet no one was prepared for a four-day week- end two weeks after classes had begun. Only Missouri's weather tor Divine Providencey could provide such an unex- pected surprise so early in the semester. Thursday evening, Feb- ruary 7, 1980, was as normal as any cold winter evening.

Shouts of relief echoed through the hallways and lob- bies, when the eagerly awaited announcement escaped over the intercoms in the dorms. Studies were quickly forgotten. Mittens, scarves, boots, coats, and shovels became the nec- essary equipment for finding cars, making paths, and explor- ing the frozen paradise. The cafeteria and the student union became the nuclei of the campus. During the day the cafeteria seemed to serve an endless stream of people, providing not only the usual place to eat, but a spot to socialize and warm up in other than the dorms. The rarer-visited student union was the place to go at night. Television, games, warmth, and friends merged for the three evenings of confinement to the campus. While not every spring semester is blessed with nat- ure's hospitality, each one does follow the tradition of con- certs, parties, elections, and graduation and adds its own surprises. Spring 1980 was no exceptione After a quiet winter,the cam- pus comes alive as symbolized by this blooming daffodil. The noise of intramural sports and radios could be heard when students walked through the halls, classrooms, and dorms. An example of the paradox 'of spring, this flower pushed it's way through the ice and snow. Cold weather lingered late into the season in Springfield. Spring Supplement 79

She explained, I came primarily for the enjoyment and as I learned more I saw how good the exercise was. Endurance, strength, quickness, and discipline developed as students worked hard and long to reach the rank of a black belt - in- corporating the philosophy into the activity to express the art of Tae-Kwon-Do. 6 That's all the higher it goes, Dave Torgeson, so- phomore, seems to be telling Jim Lumsden, freshman, as they stretch out before their session. Tae-kwon-do stressed seIf-discipline for those en- rolled. Perfection of form is part of the discipline for freshman Jim lumsden as he follows through on his kicking.
