Dr. W arren to leave Cedarville and assum e OARBC positionLaura Hammond

Staff WriterDr. David Warren, professor of

Bible and Greek, recently accepted the position as the state representa­tive for the Ohio Association of Regular Baptist Churches. Al­though Dr. Warren will complete his teaching assignment for this year, he will leave his position at Cedarville to represent OARBC full-time.

The OARBC council will con­duct a special Celebration and In­stallation Service on April 28, at 7:00p.m. at the FirstBaptistChurch of Medina. The council will vote to ratify Warren at this meeting to and donate a special offering to Dr. and Mrs. Warren.

As a state representative, Dr. Warren will fulfill roles that in­clude being an intern pastor, a pastor’s consultant, a church me­diator, and a conference leader. In addition, he will be a contributing writer to the newsletter o f the OARBC.

To Dr. Warren, who has already dedicated his weekends to serving the OARBC, this new position is a natural extension of what he has been doing over the years. Already, he has served in 13 different intern pastorates during his teaching min­istry, spoken in various church con­ferences, and published numerous

articles and studies. As a result of his faithful ministry, Dr. Warren re­ceived an honorary Doctor of Divin­ity degree from Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary in May of 1997.

The role Dr. Warren most antici­pates is that of pastoral counselor. “Several of the pastors in this church association are my former Bible stu­dents,” he said. “Now my greatest sense of joy evolves from trusting God will use me to minister to these men whom I’ve grown to love on a different level than before. So many times we fail to realize that although pastors can be very uplifting leaders, they, too, are human and sometimes need a little extra encouragement.”

As a homemaker and mother of four grown children, Mrs. Warren now has the opportunity to serve alongside her husband. She will work as a counselor to the pastors' wives, a speaker at ladies meetings, and as a secretary for Dr. Warren. Dr. War­ren said, “God has truly used my wife, Pat, as a way to give me confi­dence in the ministries he has chosen for us. Without her gentle encour­agement and dedicated willingness, I wouldn’t have these capabilities today.”

Rev. Ken Spink, the pastor of Berea Baptist Church near Cleveland, re­signed as OASBC state representa­tive five months ago. He recom­mended Dr. Warren to the OARBC

committee as his replacement. Ini­tially, Dr. Warren exhibited little interest in leaving Cedarville to become part o f their staff. How­ever, after he attended four differ­ent meetings with the association’s leaders, he began to sense the Lord’s leading to accept the position. The council unanimously called Dr. Warren to the position on Dec. 11, 1997.

Dr. Warren said, “Throughout the entire decision-making process, God never pushed me one step

farther along than I was ready. He truly understands how challenging it is to stretch beyond my comfort zone, yet he reminded me of his sovereignty over his chosen leaders as I reflected upon I Timothy 1:1­12, especially verses 6,7, and 12.

“Along with the scriptures, I thankfully praise God for the sup­port my wife, children, and college faculty gave me. Pat remained at­tentive and open during the deci­sion-making process, yet she left the final choice to me. Interestingly

enough, my two daughters were a bit hesitant, for they know how content I am at Cedarville. But, in the end, they just encouraged me to follow God’s leading, not my own. My two sons, on the other hand, immediately encouraged me to pursue this new avenue. Dr. Dixon and my Bible colleagues supported my decision as long as I was assured it was God’s desire, and they never once questioned my loyalty to Cedarville.”

As a Bible teacher at Cedar­ville for the past 18 years, Dr. Warren emphasized that he will always treasure the friendships he has developed among his Bible colleagues and his students.

“I want all of my Cedarville College family to know I am not departing for any negative rea­son,” Dr. Warren said. “Through teaching and counseling students, God has taught the unsurpassable value of appreciating each indi­vidual as He has designed them. Some encouragement I’d like to leave with the students is that you must understand your entire per­sonality, its strengths along with its weaknesses, and, most impor­tantly, your spiritual gifts. Then simply accept whatever ability level the Lord has blessed you with, and invest in it in the most beneficial way for His glory.”

Committee proposes new SGA to coordinate campus activitiesCarol Marks Staff Writer

Creative advertisements and informative speeches are bringing the p ro p o sa l to re s tru c tu re Cedarville’s Student Government Association to the attention of the student body.

Since mid-September, a com­mittee of six students have worked with Jeff Beste, the assistant direc­tor of campus activities; Scott Van Loo, SGA president; and Angie Wenzel, SGA vice president, to re­organize the current SGA system. The com m ittee includes Josh Amos, Christy Farris, Jeff Motter, Scott Vandegrift, Tim Walker, and Alissa Whitten.

“One of the main goals of the new SGA is to increase communi­cation between different student

groups on campus, particularly from students to SGA and from SGA back to students,” Beste said. While main­taining its role as a communicator between the students and the admin­istration at Cedarville, the new SGA would involve various committees to determine the opinions and spiri­tual conditions of the student body.

Scott Van Loo, SGA president, is excited about the changes. “It’s pro­viding for SGA to be a lot more efficient,” he said.

Several committees are involved in making SGA more efficient. In addition to the Executive Board, a ministry council— chaired by the SGA chaplain— w ould w ork to b u ild b e tte r co m m u n ica tio n between individual ministries and SGA. The council would also foster d isc ip lesh ip betw een the SGA

chaplain and the class chaplains.To improve student satisfaction

with campus life, the new SGA would have a Student Life Board consisting of five members: a tu­toring coordinator, an auxilliary coordinator, a public relations coor­dinator, a residence life coor­dinator, and a student court chief justice. This board would discover and address student academic and material concerns.

The Presidents' Council would replace the current SGA represen­tatives. Under the leadership o f the SGA vice-president and assistant director of CAO, this council would strengthen communication between campus organizations and SGA. The new SGA would like more team work between organizations.

The Inter-Class Council and se­

nior class president would promote accountability and mentorship be­tween class officers. It would also combine the ideas and leadership skills of each class, improving the communication between the classes and the SGA as a whole.

An Activities Board would coor­dinate various activities for the stu­den t body. T hese soc ia l and service-oriented activities would include events such as Little Town of L ights, G randparen ts’ Day, SGA dinners at Chuck’s, and other similar activities. The Activities Board, comprised of five members, would be led by the activities director, a person whom the SGA president would choose.

Eventually, SGA would like to add new activities to their schedule of events, but this proposal focuses

on the current activities of SGA. “It’s going to take the [activities] that we already have and reorga­nize them,” Van Loo said.

A Public R elations Board would make the SGA activities known to the students. “We want to increase the publicity of SGA, ” Beste said. While SGA coordi­nates many different campus events, most students are not aware o f the extensive work Cedarville’s student government accomplishes on campus.

At this point, the new SGA is only a proposal, but it will most likely become reality in the fu­ture. Beste said, “Nothing will be definite until a new constitution is drawn up and approved by SGA.”

News and Featuresi1998 W ho's W ho presents students w ith m essage to sim plify

Sheri Ro&sContributing Writer .

W ho’s Who, a nationwide pro­gram which chooses only out­standing students to becom e members of its organization, has been a part of the Cedarville Col­lege campus for a number of years. This prestigious organization is particularly difficult to get into at Cedarville because of the strict qualifications all candidates are required to meet.

An impressive 500 seniors met the initial grade-point cut this year. After some very serious and de­tailed judging by professors and high academic officials, 54 nomi­nees were chosen from those 500 candidates.

Many may not realize that these 54 students were responsible for completing the W ho’s Who video­skit presentation for Tuesday’s chapel in only one month’s time. Michelle Stock, producer of the chapel's video, describes the diffi­culty of a month’s worth of work­ing diligently around the busy schedules of all 54 nominees: “It w as rough to w ork around everybody’s schedule so that we could get at least 4 seconds of all 54 nom inees in an 8-m inute video, with the exception of the 4 that are presently out o f the country. It took some time just to

plan when each person could be filmed.”

This year, the theme chosen for W ho’s Who chapel was “Simplify Your Life.” The students chose this theme because they wanted to en­courage underclassmen to keep their priorities straight. They modeled the service after a 20/20 television episode, complete with commer­cials. Each segment showed a dif­ferent part of college life.

Before the students could begin full-fledged planning, they had to select a chairman to organize the whole production. Senior political science major KirkLe Blanc chaired this year's chapel. He explained that the most important message those chosen for Who's Who wanted to get across was that our achieve­ments are meaningless unless we do them for God's glory. When stu­dents look back at their college years, they will not remember the meetings, proposals, and other me­diocre details that fill their days now and seem all-important. The truly-important thing is their rela­tionship with God.

The group hoped to snag the at­tention of underclassmen through use of comedy and drama. “We basically rewrote our lives to reveal our own struggles to the student body, encourage them to keep their lives as simple as possible, and al­

ways remember to put God first,” Stock said.

Every skit came directly from the experiences of Who's Who students who have struggled to maintain the proper perspective amidst the pres­sure of living up to expectations. Senior speech education and com­munication arts major Sara Romang said that she originally got involved because she wanted to gain first­hand experience of activities that she would ultimately be supervis­ing at the high-school level.

"I often catch myself complain­ing about how much I have to do. But last year I had a lot of things going on with my family, which helped me realize that there are big­ger problems than just having a busy schedule. This helps me keep a good perspective on things," Romang said.

She added that it was very hum­bling to be associated with this group of students. However, being selected as Who's Who is not nearly as im­portant as the lessons she has learned through being involved.

While trying to keep the message of the presentation clear and com­prehensive, the W ho’s Who stu­dents do not w ant to appear hypocritical by patronizing a sim­plified lifestyle. Stock said, “There are three basic sources that moti­vate students to get involved: re­

sume, self-esteem, and popularity. W e’re not saying that students should not get involved in extracur­ricular activities. Many of us be­long to W ho’s Who because of the activities we are involved in. How­ever, we are saying that we as Chrisr tians need to admit that we all struggle with priorities, among other things, and that it’s much easier to keep them straight in a simplified lifestyle. It’s important that we re­member what God will remember.”

Spencer donates tim e and money for one-thud of a centuryEtebecca Qitzel

Lead WriterHe has been called everything

from “a cute little curmudgeon” to “a walking saint.” Whatever the connotation, professor of English Edward Spencer has earned a repu­tation for being one of the most dedicated and personable profes­sors at Cedarville.

Certain instructors have been at the college long enough and have such distinctive personalities that they are recognizable to the entire campus. Spencer is one of those people. For 36 years, the short fel­low in a trench coat, plaid hat, and glasses has been easy to spot chat­ting with students in C huck’s, chapel, or on the sidewalk.

Spencer came to the college in 1962. Only Bible professor Dr. Robert Gromacki and physical edu­cation professor Dr. Donald Callan, who arrived two years earlier, ex­ceed his tenure. “There were 430 students in the whole student body. ... I came with real anticipation, looking forward to my teaching as a ministry, which is what it has been,” Spencer said.

The file cabinets in Spencer’s office are crowded with framed photographs of alumni and current students who are pleased to be con­sidered Mr. Spencer’s friends. “M ost of my relationships develop out of my general education classes. Some [students] are business; some are sc ien ce and en g in eerin g . Through social contact, I develop a

faculty-student relationship. I keep in touch with several students be­yond graduation, either by letter, or now, by e-mail,” Spencer said.

After working as a Christian col­lege professor for so long, Spencer has learned the importance of de­veloping a rapport with his stu­dents. “I see that as part of my ministry. I am not just a dissemina­tor of knowledge and facts. I ’ve learned from my students that they watch more than we think they do. They read attitudes and lifestyles. Sometimes we don’t think that’s important, sometimes we don’t

think they’re observing. But I’ve learned through the years as several students have written back and com­mented, this is what they do ob­serve. T hat’s scriptural. ‘W e’re epistles, and read by all men,” ’ he said.

Spencer chaired or coordinated the English department for 17 years before turning his position over to Dr. Raymond Bartholomew in 1984. The current language and literature chairman is full of compliments for his friend and co-worker.

“He gives more time than any faculty member I know to advising students.... If he isn’t in his office, someone has performed what I call the sidewalk snatch— shang-highed him on the sidewalk and tried to transact whatever business he had there. Altogether, he’s a little walk­ing saint,” Bartholomew said.

Bartholomew's hyperbole is not too far from the truth. In addition to his teaching and advising duties, Spencer has also held eight interim pastorates. Currently, he is preach­ing at a small church in Mechanics- burg, Ohio.

The most drastic changes Spen­cer has noticed at Cedarville over the past 36 years have come in tech­nology and the campus buildings. “From the typewriter to the com­puter, that’s been quite a revolution. We have computer labs now; we had typing labs then. There was a room for the secretarial minor over in Milner, I mean the bookstore. You see, the bookstore used to be Milner.”

As is still the case today, many of

sizable gift, and now we’re talking millions,” Spencer said.

Affluence of the general student body has also increased. “If one student in a unit had a car, that was something. But now when I look in the parking lot, it seems everybody drives,” Spencer said.

For over a third of a century, Spencer has been Cedarville’s con­tinuous instructor of American lit­erature. His favorite classes to teach are American Realism and Natural­ism and American Romanticism, but his repertoire extends to World Literature and the basic author courses as well.

Students are often unable to fit required literature classes into their schedules. Over the years, Spencer has compensated by supervising stu­dents as they complete the course out of class. According to Academic Records, Mr. Spencer has gener­ated around $323,840 worth of out- of-class tuition in the last three summers alone. He, in turn, draws pay for only a fraction of these courses. Since its inception during the 1960s, he has also taught litera­ture during summer studies.

Senior English education major Aaron Ponzani has taken three classes with Spencer, as well as an indeoendent study. “He’s shown me how to learn something from every author, whether or not I agree with the writer. I can appreciate authors without taking their moral and philo­sophical stances whole-heartedly,” he said.

Spencer has also been active in the para-teaching aspects of the pro­fessorship. He has served on the tenure committee, the student life committee, the educational policies committee, the department chairs committee, and advised the year­book. Each year, he coordinates a trip to the Stratford Festival in Canada. Last year, 60 students trav­eled north with Spencer to see the plays.

“One thing that makes a differ­ence with Spencer is that he would rather put students first— that’s his goal. H e’d rather spend time with students than spend time on com­mittees,” Ponzani said.

With the joint hospitality of Do­rothy, his wife of nearly 52 years, Spencer frequently welcomes stu­dents into his home. Sophomore mechanical engineering major Nate Jenkins has been to their residence several times. In December, Jenkins helped trim the Spencer’s Christ­mas tree and hang up decorations.

you in class, he tries to acknowl­edge you and meet you. ... Even though I’m not an English major, he is still very personable to me when I see him on campus,” she said.

Lisa R. Cole, assistant registrar, frequently receives visits from Spencer in the Academic Records office. “Whether he stops by to help an advisee, submit a grade change, or just to visit, we can always count on him to brighten our day. He holds a precious place in the hearts of our college family.

"The time he takes to involve himself in the lives of the people he comes into contact with has made a tremendous difference on our cam­pus. He contributes greatly to the atmosphere that is so unique to Ce­darville College, and he is tremen­dously appreciated,” Cole said.

At Homecoming last fall, Spen­cer was recognized as professor of the year. Around the same time, Dr. Dixon unveiled plans to retrofit the old chapel into a technology class­room facility, proposing to name the building the Technology Learn­ing Center, abbreviated the TLC.

Now Bartholomew and many oth­ers would like to honor Spencer fur­ther by christening the old chapel the Spencer Technology Center. Petitions circulating around cam­pus bear the names of students from all majors supporting the movement.

“If buildings are named for do­nors, then he qualifies as being the largest internal donor to Cedarville College. ... I know he’s been re­sponsible for a significant part of the case flow from the summer school operation. Were he to no longer be in that position, I don’t think there would be such a thing as a technology building built out of that cash flow. Therefore, I think the building should be named the Spencer C enter,” Bartholom ew said.

“Naming the old chapel after him would be a great idea. H e’s one of the guys who’s been around and has had a big influence on the student body,” Jenkins said.

Senior English education major Richard Porter said, “I think after all the time, money, and effort that he’s invested in Cedarville College, it’s only fitting that we recognize him in a way that solidifies his name with the college.”

Heather Fourman, a senior En­glish major who serves as depart­ment secretary, agreed. “He would never look for any kind of recogni­tion, but the college should dedi­cate the building to someone whothe building projects were made jupuviuviv v iv in v ...- .■ 'j--— — — «

Ohio's Teacher of the Year lectures students at Delta Chi seminarQebecca Bitzel ■

Lead WriterOhio Teacher of the Year for

1998, Bill Richey, was on campus Monday, March 2, to address Delta Chi members at a professional semi­nar. The Xenia High School chem­istry teach er shared w ith the education majors classroom expe­riences which earned him teacher of the year. He also explained his philosophy for the future of educa­tion.

During his 12 years of teaching, Richey has been named most influ­ential teacher by Xenia High vale­dictorians 6 times. Even so, the teacher of the year nomination came as a surprise. Richey completed the essay and interview process during the summer months. On Oct. 1 of last year, the state superintendent of schools walked unannounced into

Year. Immediately he was thrust into the local spotlight.

“I had been warned by several of the past Ohio teachers of the year about the questions that I would surely get from the media, newspa­pers, and interested others. ... ‘What, does it feel like to be the best teacher in Ohio?’...I used the reply I ’ve heard from several teachers of the year, ‘Hopefully I’m just the best teacher in my classroom,” ’ Richey said.

Junior chemistry/pre-med/sec- ondary education major Stephanie Neumann agreed. “That is him to a tee. He just wants to be the best teacher he can be for his students... . He demonstrates his Christian wit­ness to his students by showing that he cares for them ,” she said. Neumann has spent Winter Quarter in Richey’s classroom completing

students gathered in the recital hall like fellow educators. “My theory of teaching is that I have 180 days with that student— and when that student is placed in my classroom, he or she is in there for me to tell them what they can do, not what they cannot do. They hear that enough from the world,” Richey said.

Assistant professor of education Dr. Phil Bassett was instrumental in bringing Richey to Cedarville. He sponsors Delta Chi, the organiza­tion for secondary education ma­

jors, along with assistant professor of education Dr. Eddie Baumann. According to Bassett, Delta Chi has seen sizable growth in the past two years under the leadership of senior secondary English education major Evelyn Brown. Richey was the sec­ond seminar speaker hosted this year. During Fall Quarter, Dr. Judy Kennessy spoke on job searching in the field of education.

Richey cited three core elements w hich m ust be ch an g ed in A m erica’s educational system . “Number one, students must appre­

ciate that learning takes hard work. ... Secondly, our communities must create places w here scholastic acheivement is valued. ... Thirdly, and m ost im p o rtan tly ,p a ren ts must reinforce the importance of education to their child,” he said.

The Cedarville visit is one of many speaking engagements and presentations Richey is scheduled to make this year. He frequently presents workshops on teaching science using everyday toys and directing extra-curricular science camps. Richey also serves as Xenia coordinator for Project Renaissance, a national program encouraging students to have good attendance records, classroom decorum, and academic performance. Under his leadership, Xenia was ranked 7th in the nation by USA Today.

In the national teacher of the year competition, Richey placed 7th. He and the 49 other nominees will travel to Washington D.C. in Octo­ber for a luncheon at the White House. Other opportunities include advising congressmen on educa­tional issues, attending space camp this summer, and helping select next year’s teacher of the year.

Richey is no stranger to the C ed a rv ille a rea . He earn ed bachelor’s degrees in both biology and chemistry in 1984 from W right State and a Masters in Education in 1986.

W inter finals inspire procrastinationLisa Walker Staff Writer

Friday, March 13, marks the end of Winter Quarter, a time the stu­dent body has anticipated for at least nine weeks. But this escape will not transpire painlessly. The winter’s final test of student grit rests upon the outcome of final examinations.

The end of the quarter brings to mind many fond memories, a sort of Ghost of Finals Past: watching a thunderstorm at 3:00 in the morning while pulling an all-nighter for an honors’ final, taking a study break by jumping in the huge mud puddle in front of Willetts, and so on. My nostalgia always ends abruptly when the Ghost of Finals Present scares me back to reality, prompting me to find the best and most efficient method to survive this week’s ensu­ing examinations.

When it comes to studying, I’ve done it all. I don’t know whether to be proud of this or not. I have started early and really buckled down a couple of days before the test. (Of course, this method was also used for 20-page papers that I should have started weeks before.) How­ever, my usual study tactic is what should be known in Latin as pervigilo lucubratus—or staying up throughout the night before the test with the intent of working. It is to plunge into the Stygian darkness and wait for the sunrise from a weary seat by the computer.

Or even better yet, I could go to Perkins and study with a friend from my class without succumbing to the temptation to discuss the meaning of life until 11:35 p.m.

There must be a better way.In my search for answers, I

thought I would go to the older and wiser, those who have successfully made it through the rigors of exams. Some call these alumni. Nathan Miller, a 1996 video broadcasting graduate, said he would stock up on food, hide himself in his room dur­ing finals week, and study without ceasing until all tests were over.

Jennifer Dear Donahue, a 1995 graduate currently in medical school, couldn’t even remember how she studied for finals. This suggested to me that perhaps the mode of studying is not as impor­tant as the fact that one decides to study in the first place.

I wasn’t satisfied, so I searched for wisdom in the current student body. Nancy Clawson, a junior nurs­ing student, has an ingenious way to get through challenging nursing courses. She said, “I’m a person who has to write things over and over again. For Pharmacology, I would rewrite the names of drugs, pages full of rewriting things. I also study with somebody else; we ask each other questions and think it out logically, [questions] like ‘how would you do this?”’

Senior English education major Charity Rizer has developed effi­cient techniques from failed at­tempts to study in the past. “[I’ve tried] going down to the gorge ex­pecting to get a lot done and instead end up contemplating God and na­ture. Or going to the library to study in a quiet atmosphere and instead sitting by the front where every friend you know walks by,” she said. She has since learned to bury herself in the back of the library and to give herself a minimum quota of work she must get done if she stud­ies in the great outdoors.

Sophomore communication arts major Jessica Lutz sometimes be­gins studying for a test two days in advance and will type out her notes to remember them better. Fresh­man Amanda Wheeler, on the other hand, calls this a “waste of time.” She prefers simply highlighting what is most important in her notes and reviewing that information. Wheeler also suggested that if stu­dents review their notes daily dur­ing the quarter, they may not have to study for finals at all.

Even with all of this wise advice, I still wanted to know one more thing before I ended my search:

What about the procrastinators? Is there a way to work with tight time constraints and still come out ahead?I know that this method can some­times lead to poor results. But, de­spite all the warnings and danger, sometimes it works.

Joy Wickholm, a senior profes­sional writing major, recalls one such time. “I started studying for a Bible exam at midnight the day of the test. I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. and got up at 6:00 a.m., memorizing as much as I could. Then I puked it out on the page as fast as I could. I got the exam back and got a 97 on it,” she said.

A similar account is given by senior English education major Aaron Ponzani. “For one Founda­tions exam, I didn’t read any of the text. I didn’ttake any notes in class. I answered the review questions that I knew. When [the professor] had the review period, I sat outside the door, listened for the ones I didn’t get, wrote them down, didn’t study at all, and got a 92,” he said.

Although professors cringe when they hear these things, I would not be surprised if they had a few sto­ries of their own to tell us from their college days.

I decided, after hearing so many different accounts, that studying is a very subjective matter. Students will become utilitarian and use whatever works best for them. Hopefully, they will at least attempt to avoid the state reached by Major Tom, a philosophy/food-service graduate of 1996, who sat calmly in Chuck’s last spring and told me that he had 5 pages due in an hour and a half that he had not started. Sur­prised, I asked him why he was still in the cafeteria. “Because I am reach­ing critical mass of apathy,” he said.

O pinion/Editorial PageDeconstructing the Christian m usic debate

Fifties style updated for Spring fashionQachel J. Stewart

Staff Writer

J. Kimmel Columnist

I firmly believe that a discourse about Christian music is in order. Recently, when Steve Camp visited this camp, it was noted that he was “on the soapbox” as it were, advo­cating a reformation of Christian music. Reformation is apparently the buzz word for 1998.

However, in saying this or in claiming this for anything, even Christian music, one must clearly define the terms of discussion. What counts as Christian music? What is meant by reformation? Is the prob­lem perceived or real? All of these are important considerations in the dialogue. One must clearly define Christian music and then soundly argue its problems and propose so­lutions.

There are so many competing definitions of Christian music that it is difficult to see how the evan­gelical community could ever come to a sound decision regarding it. There are some who believe that certain beats and rhythms are evil by nature. They attach a moral value to music. Conversely, there are those who believe that music is amoral, meaning that it has no moral sig­nificance for either evil or good. For these critics, the lyrics become the determining factor in a band’s acceptance by Christians.

While these deal almost com­pletely with the music itself, there are some who argue strictly from lifestyle and lyrics. There are Chris­tian musicians who play music that deals almost entirely with Christian themes (D.C. Talk, Caedm on’s Call). Then there are Christian mu­sicians who do not necessarily play music with any Christian overtones at all. That is not to say that they sing of bad or immoral themes but simply that they do not generally mention God in their lyrics (Over the Rhine, Hokus Pick).

With all of these competing defi­nitions, it is fairly easy to see why evangelicals are divided on this is­sue. However, the Bible has not left the Christian completely defense­less. First, there is the over-riding goal of humankind: to glorify God and to keep his commandments. This should be the first part of our definition of Christian music. The music, lyrically, should not seek to tear down the name of God or be in violation of his commandments.

Secondly, as Protestants, our faith has chosen for itself acertain amount of subjectivity where interpretation is concerned. We do not have the

Pope or a patriarch telling the com­mon people what is good and what is not. Rather, we have made our­selves little “popes” regarding our own self and our families. Do not think that I am suggesting that each person may interpret scripture to mean whatever they choose. No, there is continuity in interpretation, for God only put one thing down on paper (or tablet as the case may be). However, there is not necessarily continuity in application for each individual believer.

Let me explain. While the con­servative Christian and the liberal Christian may both agree that the Bible wants the Christian to help those in need, they may disagree as to the means. Conservatives may choose to give money to para-church organizations, while the liberals may choose to begin their own minis­tries to meet the needs of the people in the immediate community. I am not trying to make a value judgment as to which is better. I am simply stressing that, while there is one interpretation of the passage, there are competing applications.

The same is true of music. We are to serve God, first and foremost, and glorify Him. That is a good interpretation of scripture. However, there can and will be and perhaps should be a disagreement as to who is really doing that. For some, only music that speaks of God is a glory to God. For others, singing about the life that God has given the Chris­tian, be it hardship or happiness, is also a fitting testimony to the glory of God.

Does this divide Christians? Yes. Should it? Absolutely not. The busi­ness of Christianity is not these petty issues of who is singing to the glory of God and who is not. The business of Christianity is the personal life of the believer. We must each exam­ine our own lives to see if our focus and our motives are in order so that we may bring glory to God. If we all did this, actively and personally, not politically, perhaps there would be some unity in the Christian com­munity.

Perhaps if all Christian musicians did this actively, the music they produce could not help but glorify God for his grace toward human­kind.

It is my belief that Christian mu­sicians that have this in order are worth my money and my time. Per­sonal responsibility, for both the musician and the non-musician, is the best glorification of God and the best testimony to the unbeliever.

Believe it or not, matching clothes is not as difficult as you might think. For perfect matches, take a pat­terned piece, pick out one color or pattern in that piece, then find some­thing that matches that color or pat­tern and put the two together. One mistake people make with match­ing is to wear one patterned piece of clothing with all plain coordinates. This is o.k., but you are not limited to matching exactly. The only rule for matching is creativity and some sort of blend. The outfit must make sense, but that does not mean being boring.

For example, instead of pairing your favorite argyle vest with a plain white shirt and plain pants, play around a little and wear a striped shirt with the vest. Another way to match is, for example, to pick out a color on a shirt that is just barely there (a teeny-tiny stripe on a shirt or pants), take that subtle color, and find bottoms or a sweater to match. It will bring out that specific color, and you will be surprised at how good it looks.

Another way to add variety to a wardrobe is to play with texture. Silk is big this season. Corduroy is warm and versatile. Velvet is ex­tremely comfortable and can be worn dressed up or down. The sky

is the limit. Pair cotton with velvet or silk with rayon and polyester. Put a sheer shirt with denim. The op­tions are endless!

What is in for men right now? Great suits by Chaps, Ralph Lauren for a preppier look; Prada for a more relaxed style. If you want to spend the bucks, get Gucci. The co lognes o f cho ice? G io by Giovanni Versace and Hugo by Hugo Boss. Basketball shoes get even lighter with the Equipment Real Deal by Adidas. Check them out at www.adidas.com. For casual wear, Tommy Hilfiger is still going strong in everything from wind- breakers to signature cologne to sunglasses. Hair is short and shorn.

Some may think this is old-fash­ioned, but the handkerchief is still in for men. It is proper, necessary, and distinguished. What do you do when you need to sneeze or you break out in a cold sweat? How will you help a weeping woman? Carry two— one in the back pocket for yourself (inexpensive and can be purchased anywhere) and one in the breast pocket for others (must be presentable as it is seen by the pub­lic). You can get these at Givan’s Irish Linen Store—r-by mail— 207 King’s Rd., London SW3 5ED, United Kingdom, or shop over the web (www.givans.co.uk). Handker­chiefs here run about $13. Any fine

men’s store should carry a variety of cotton and linen handkerchiefs to suit the need. Dr. Dixon himself displayed a bright red handkerchief in h is b rea s t pock e t d u rin g M onday’s chapel. Men, take note.

Lady Yellow Jackets improve play despite difficult regular seasonPete BednarekSports Writer

The Lady Yellow Jackets finished their regular season schedule with two road losses on Feb. 21 and 24, which unfortunately completed a late season, seven-game slide. They closed out the season with an over­all record of 9-18 and an MOC record of 4-12. This season’s team made a number of important steps toward reaching the goals that the athletes and coaches have set for themselves and showed dramatic improvement from last year.

This year’steam was young: three starting freshmen, though promis­ing for the future, were unable toobe consistent. Head Coach Kathy Freese said, “I never knew who was going to play well on a given night.” The talent was definitely present as most of the players were able to perform in certain situations, but no one player was able to carry the team on a regular basis.

Freese said, “Our most consis­tent player was Julie [Nourse].” Nourse was honored as the MOC Freshman of the Y ear for her

achievement. She played good de­fense and was responsible for few turnovers. Many of her points came from second shot attempts and strong post moves. Since she is a first-year player, the team hopes she will help lead them in the future.

Freshman guard Amanda Porter was also honored with an MOC

honorable mention. Porter provided an aggressive spark to the Lady Jack­ets' back court. Coupled with sopho­more guard Charity Cole’s assertive style and junior Heather French’s steady leadership, the team demon­strated an exciting atmosphere on the floor. The excitement and pow­erful style occasionally led to turn­

overs but more clearly repre­sented the women’s desire to move forward.

Junior Gillian Gombis received the scholar athlete award in rec­ognition of her diligence in aca­demics and athletics. Lone senior and captain Summer Bennington also led the Yellow Jackets, es­pecially in scoring.

The team’s record not being above .500 partially represents

the strength of the schedule that the women played. “Out of 26 games, 13 teams had 20 Or more wins this sea­son, and only 8 teams were below .500,” Freese said. Four of those 20- win seasons belonged to teams in the especially strong Mid-Ohio Confer­ence.

The Lady Yellow Jackets chal­lenged NCAA Division I and II teams this season in some of their non-con­ference action. A number of potential victories slipped away in matter of just a few ticks on the game clock. “In a lot of our games this season, we were even or ahead for 30 minutes. It seemed like we just came up 10 min­utes short in a lot of them,” Freese said. In their game against Findlay, the team led by as much as 13 before allowing the win to slip away.

When asked about the eclipsing of the regular season, Frease said, “Our record is a little disappointing, but I still see us improving, and the posi­tives are that the girls have not lost their desire and enthusiasm.’’The Lady Yellow Jackets are making the neces­sary changes. Their record and talent level has increased from last year and they will look to build on the solid foundation of youth laid this season.

Men's basketball ends season with winPete BednarekSports Writer

The men’s basketball team closed the hatch on the 1997-98 regular season by sinking its rival Univer­sity of Rio Grande in the Athletic Center on Feb. 28. They won the game in front of a packed house with many athletes’ and basketball affiliates’ parents (or stand-in rep­resentatives) on hand for Parents' Night. The victory poised the team for post-season play at an overall record of 23-9 and 9-7 in the MOC.

This season proved to be some­what of a turn-around from last sea­son. Last y ear’s team , w ith 9 freshmen and 20 losses, was re­structured and shaped to a new mold. Head Coach Jeff Reep was able to move the team into a quicker, more aggressive style o f play which brought the Yellow Jackets within a point of Cedarville’s best scoring average ever and reversed its record drastically to 23 wins. “We may not be a favorite for any championship yet, but we made that step of mov­ing from 20 losses to 20 wins this season,” Reep said.

The team was boosted by a school record-breaking team free-throw percentage of 77 percent. The MOC Freshman of the Year award went to Jesse Deister, first-team player award to John Krueger, and honor­able mentions to Aaron Stumpf and Clint Hayes. Junior transfers Shay Richardson and Stumpf both pro­vided a much-needed jumpstart, coming in with previous college experience.

Deister proved to be a huge ac­quisition in many ways. As a 6 ’3” guard, he ranked third in the MOC in scoring, averaging 18.5 points per game as well as leading the conference with 81 steals. His out­standing free-throw percentage put him second in the MOC in that category, and he was listed for blocked shots and field-goal per­centage. The area in which he most excelled was defense. “Jesse’s de­fense was outstanding,” Reep said. “It is not usual that we look to rely on a freshman to do some of the things that we asked him [Deister] to do this year.”

K rueger d id no t d isappo in t those who have come to expect high scoring as he led the MOC in that category, but he also developed new aspects of his game. “This year, John improved his rebounding tre­m endously , w hich has rea lly helped,” Reep said. Krueger led the Yellow Jackets and ranked 8th in the MOC in rebounding.

Seniors Tim W are and Brent

M iller provided a consistent effort for the men each night. Ware im­proved his low-post game and be­came a presence in the front court, yielding a number of big plays late in some games while Miller con­tributed his usual steady court lead­ership. “I can’t say enough about Brent. He has done so much for this team in the way he conducts him­self and leads our team. He faith­fully organized devotions and prayer times for the team throughout the season,” Reep said.

A number of factors were in­volved in the successes of this sea­son, and many more will come into play as the squad looks to improve again next year. Reep said, “I think we got the excitement back offen­sively, and we are making progress with our defense. There is a differ­ent mentality with this team. The guys play every game to win and believe that they can.”

In looking ahead to the upcoming season, Reep will seek more quick­ness and tough low-post talent to further refine the team. The Yellow Jackets are getting set for post-sea­son play in the NALA Division I Great Lakes Sectional tournament which will begin on March 4.
