Sharon Landis, Wilbur Beachy. JonaThan RoTh BoTh my wife and I have meT many Tine peo- ple here. YeT There's oThers who don'T look or acT like ChrisTians, and I wonder why They pay exTra To come To a ChrisTian college. David OrTis Goshen has an ideal oT communiTy, noT oTTen lived up To, buT oTTen discussed. BuT The sTrengTh oT a communiTy depends on iTs members, and The poTenTial Tor more humane sTrucTures is evidenT: I came To GC expecTing There was some kind oT religious communiTy. I didn'T know where To look Tor iT. I Tried Three diTTerenT groups: Campus Church, K-Groups, Prayer and Praise. Now I look more To individuals To Talk To insTead oT groups. Jon Wa rkenTin As a liberal-arTs college, Goshen sTudies ChrisTianiTy, Thus running The risk oT losing sighT oT whaT iT acTually means ouTside The Theology TexT: Goshen College seems To be more geared To The inTeIIecTuaI aspecT of ChrisTianiTy, and I'm more inTeresTed in The pracTicaI liTe impIica+ions of my TaiTh. For example, whaT does The peace and nonresisTence belief mean on a personal level? Elaine RuTT GeoTT Landis. Jany Yousey

Goshen College is se+ up 'For educa+ion, noi' socializalion. If you wan+ social con+ac+, you have fo make if happen. Ca+hy l.an+z More opporiunifies for socializing were opened up on campus by Dwain Harlzler. Experimenis wi'rh snack shop decor and enierlainmenl, expansion ol 'rhe Q-room. and campus square dances all confribuled 'ro a more acfive social scene. Even unorganized, more personal social pafferns are changing: There's more nafural emphasis on group ac+ivi+ies, ra+her +han one-+o- one dafing. Luke Ro+h All of 'rhese fac+ors combined To make GC a more friendly place for many sfudenfs. Individual efforf is s+ill required, and some people will refuse fo break wifh iheir preiudices and cliques, buf walls, if no+ coming down, are lower: l +hink I can say l've developed a real sense of belonging and iden1'i+y here a+ Goshen. Maybe i+'s because of all +he blood, sweat and fears l've pu? info it Bul' on fhe whole I ihink sfudenfs are very accepling. Belh Fasi Doug Basinger, Phyllis Krabill
