Christian Life Week is an annual event at George Fox College, held each fall under the direction of Chaplain Ron Crecelius. This year John Cassis, director of special projects for World Relief, and Dave Wildermuth, pastor of Edgewood Evangelical Church in Eugene, were the guest speakers at the meetings which ran October 17-21. Both speakers were well received in chapel sessions and evening meetings held in residence Wildermuth, a George Fox alumnus (he graduated in 1972) , has a divinity degree from Western Evangelical Seminary in Portland. CHRISTIAN LIFE WEEK by Monica Whitham He has spoken throughout the United States and Canada for youth and family camp retreats. Cassis, an exciting speaker and great favorite with the students, is a former professional baseball player. Following his gradu ation from the University of Cincinnati in 1970, he played for the California Angels for three years. After his ball career ended due to internal politics in the baseball world (primarily as a result of his strong Christian stance), he became director of a youth counseling center for delinquents, dropouts, and drug addicts. Then in 1975, he became minister of a small Colorado church. — 3 — During his five-year ministry, church attendance rose from 80 people to more than 2,000. Now, as a director for World Relief, he speaks nation- wide on the issue of world hunger. But he has also become a renown speaker on the subjects of stress, self image, and motivation. It is primarily these subjects he address- ed during his brief visit to our cam- pus, and his comments and anec- dotes were entertaining as well as edifying. Those who attended the Chris- tian Life meetings were blessed with a wealth of insight and encourage- ment from both Dave Wildermuth Monica Whitham

This term we are inaugurating a new publication at George Fox Col- lege. The staffs of The Crescent newspaper and the L ' Ami yearbook are working together this year to br- ing you Focus, a new magazine recording events and news on cam- pus. Focus will be taking the place of a student newspaper and yearbook this year as an experiment of the Stu- dent Communication Committee. The Focus staff is excited to present this new project as a communication service to George Fox College. Once each term, Focus will br- ing you coverage of people and events that make George Fox Col- lege a special place. Each issue will feature the academics, activities, sports, and spiritual life of the cam- pus. It is our hope to capture the character of student life with this magazine. The reason for this change in student publications? For the past decade, the newspaper and year- book have been plagued by financial difficulties, and the quality has been suffering due to inadequate staffing. Last year both publications faced substantial budget cuts with the discovery of an $18,000 yearbook deficit that had been ignored by past L ' Ami editors for several years. As a result, The Crescent had insufficient funds to publish spring term, and for the first time, a fee was charged for the L ' Ami. Early this year a proposal was brought before Central Committee to combine the two troubled publica- tions into a magazine. The idea was to save money and produce a better quality publication by combining the resources of the two staffs. The magazine would have more articles than a yearbook and more photography than a newspaper. The Central Committee overwhelmingly supported the proposal. As a result, this magazine is be- ing published on a one-year trial basis. The degree of success will determine whether this publication will continue in future years, or whether The Crescent and L ' Ami will be reinstated. But remember! This takes the place of a yearbook so DO NOT THROW IT AWAY! Binders will be available in the spring for preserving all three issues. We hope you will enjoy this new publication, and we welcome sug- gestions for future issues. Monica Whitham Ed Kidd i i
