1975-1976 Academic Catalog

Student Life 11 The college program is designed for the full development of each student in his spiritual, academic, physical and social life. The fundamental Biblical position establishes a conservative pattern for all activities and conduct. Students gain excellent practical experience in Christian service as they participate in musical groups; teach Sunday School classes; conduct hospital, mission, and jail services; teach Bible clubs; and serve on gospel teams. Social life at Cedarville provides an outlet from the demands and pressures of college life. Our scenic 105-acre campus provides students with ample room to relax, study and enjoy the fellowship of other Christian young people. As well as developing academically and spiritually, participation in one or more of the many campus student groups provide opportunity for social development. Some of these groups sponsor banquets, concerts, and other forms of cultural enjoy– ment. Standards of Conduct Before any student is enrolled at Cedarville College, he must sign a statement signifying his willingness to adhere to the standards and regulations of the college. Students who do not cooperate in maintaining the standards of conduct established by the college may be requested to withdraw. This applies to con– duct while at college and also at home or off the campus. Certain types of conduct are positively forbidden. Among these are the use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic beverages, the non-medical use of drugs, and use of cards which are employed in gambling, dancing, attendance at movie theaters, membership in secret societies, excessive use of cosmetics, and the wearing of extreme fashions. Students are expected to abstain from the practice and/or promotion of those temporary Apostolic gifts usually associated with the Charis– matic movement. Students will also be expected to exercise discernment regard– ing their choice of music. Rules regarding these will be strictly enforced. Students are urged to set aside a definite period each day for private devotions. Regular attendance at student prayer meetings aids the student in maintaining a healthful spiritual life. All students are required to attend church services regularly. Chapel The students and faculty meet together each day for worship and fellowship in a chapel service. Every student is required to attend. Faculty members, visiting pastors, educators, evangelists, and missionaries serve as speakers for these pro– grams. Praise, prayer, worship, and practical Christian work are stressed. A series of Bible lectures or a missionary conference is scheduled twice a year. Each year the Staley Distinguished Christian Scholar Lecture Program is a week-long part of the chapel program. New Student Orientation Immediately prior to the beginning of each quarter new students participate in an orientation program designed to facilitate adjustment to their new sur– roundings and provide an opportunity for course selection and program plan– ning with the assistance of an assigned faculty adviser.
