A UE alumnus, Hodapp spoke on ‘ History, Faith and Identity,’’ address- ing the origins of and differences be- tween the church-affiliated university and the Bible college. Ethics are still essential and higher education should prepare students for careers while building their moral citi- zenship. The convocation began with 125 fac- ulty members in academic regalia. Dr. P. Louis Winternheimer and Dr. J. 20 Student Life Robert Knott acted as marshall and assistant marshall, respectively. The University Concert Choir, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and organist Douglas Reed performed. University chaplain John Brittain said a wide “‘cross-section’’ of people at- tended the ceremonies. Members of the Board of Trustees, emeriti faculty, stu- dents and visiting Methodist ministers attended the celebration of UE’s 134 years in higher education. At a buffet-style luncheon in lower Harper, campus organizations per- formed skits representing their or- ganizations. Zeta Tau Alpha gave a brief history of their fraternity. Delta Sigma Founders’ Day Pi, Kappa Chi and Phi Mu all sang songs specifically adapted for what their groups represent. The Phi Kappa Tau brothers sang their brotherhood song and gave their tradi- tional cheer. Members of the Black Stu- dent Union sang various pop songs a capella, such as “‘Respect’’ and ‘ Lean on Me,’’ and two members of Kappa Alpha Psi performed a “‘step-dance’’ routine. The Dixieland Band played ‘Happy Birthday”’ as students brought out cakes baked by University staff, faculty and administrators.
