 than just BOOKS Student Life at Rockhurst in 1988 proved typically to hold more than just books for all concerned. Spirit continued at high intensity throughout the year at the many games and social events. Participation, involvement and caring proved important as students ministered to each other through the special functions of Student Council and the Pastoral Department. Students took time out to build upon the strong traditions of friendship and unity throughout the week-long celebration of Homecoming ’88. Mission Week brought out the best in the Rockhurst community as students raised money through various events to help the less fortunate in Central America. The Pastoral Department, headed by Mr. Larry Ruby and Fr. Thomas Jost, S.J., offered a twofold benefit to students. First, the program offered well-planned retreats and specifically aimed masses. Secondly, it allowed students to become involved with the planning and design of these events through the pastoral board and committee. In 1988 Students Against Driving Drunk and Students for Students proved to be valued presences in the lives of many. Through various sponsored events and in oftentimes unseen actions, S.A.D.D. and S.F.S. were truly an essential part of Rockhurst’s interdependent community. Overall, student life at Rockhurst was highlighted by the efforts of the student body to improve the atmosphere of participation and belonging at The Rock. By James Hooper, Jr. Editor-in-Chief
