Randal Gunden: The economics major is a fairly traditional liberal arts, social science major. It's for the student who wants to think about things more abstractly or for the student who is considering gradu- ate school in business, economics or law. ML: Why teach at Goshen? RG: The students. Sure there are some who are complacent, but in general the stu- dents are polite, intelligent and bright. There is opportunity for one-to-one inter- action. You can help the poorest student and also write on a good paper, You should consider grad school in this subject. It's rewarding to watch students mature. ML: What would you hope students would remember from economics in 10 years? RG: I hope they look back and say they received a good preparation for what they encounter in the real world. I hope they would look back and say that even when it got technical in classes, there was humor involved. The reality is that the technical things you learn are probably the least im- portant things you take with you. You should learn how to learn and how to deal with the larger issues of life. That's what it's all about. Randal Gunden is associate pnjessor ay' economics. On practicum assignment, Mark Nyce counts the presidents for Farm Bureau Credit Union in Goshen. First-year professor Ron Brunk interprets the intricacies of Financial Management.

JK, Maple Leaf: Name one event that sticks with you from this year. Cheryl Nafziger: My experience of direct- ing The Barbarian.: Are Coming, one of the peace plays, was really significant for me because it was then that I found the necessary distance between myself and the art of theater. ML: What is that distance? CN: It's stepping away. Only when an ar- tist steps out of the way of creatiilg can creating take place. And I felt that during Barbarians, At first it felt as if I wasn't really there malcing an influence and I was worried. But in the end there was a direct connection between what I wanted to achieve and the end result of the play. Cheryl was out of the way and that allowed the creative freedom necessary for the play to develop. ML: What is communication about? CN: Within the theater realm, the biggest thing is for students to explore all areas of theater. Then they are encouraged to develop their abilities and interests in those areas. The way of learning is a way of ex- perience. I appreciate that we aren't told to do theater in any certain way that is the right way. It's more what feels right to you, and then synthesizing that with what you've learned to bring out your own style. ML: What do you think you will remem- ber in 10 years? CN: I never wanted to come here in the first place, but through the professors and students in the department it seemed like the best place to learn. I started out just wanting to act, but through my experience I discovered that my abilities are stronger in directing because I had the opportunity to develop other parts of theater. That will stick with me. Chewy! Nyziger is a senior communication major with a theater emphasis. I 27
