Cedar Lake glistened with the reflections ofthe silent lights, but not a ripple stirred. And high above,a full moon mastered the lights below, but Cedarville College was still. Students had long since forgotten the conversations held in Chuck's Cafe. Staff members had forsaken their notes and memos. Professors had finalized their lectures and exams. The college family was at rest. YOU COMO FEEL IT IN TYE SILENCE! Though Cedarville College lay silently in the heart of the Miami Valley, something lingered in the air. A thrill of excitement and rush of enthusiasm penetrated the blackness of the night. The warmth of friendship and unity filled the air. A sense of deep purpose encompassed the sleeping campus. Even in the silence of. the night,it could be felt. It lay subtley yet boldly acrossthe campus. It could not be ignored,for it was the very reason that the campus wasfounded,has grown and continues to prosper. It was... TYE CEPARKLE DIFFERENCE
Sharing the burden - Senior Chuck Scott and junior Sue Moyer enjoyed sharing the responsibility of preparing their argument on the subject of NATO for debate class. YOU COULD SEE IT all TI-IFIR FACES! he Cedarville Difference could be seen, heard, and felt in the expression of the college family. You could see it in their laughter framed faces as they portrayed unity and enduring friendship. You could hear it in their voices as passers-by greeted and encouraged one another on halfcrowded sidewalks. You could feel it as they shared the emotions of losses and victories throughout the year. But the difference does not exist merely on the surface. It goes much deeper...into the heart of each student and faculty member. 2 Making a Difference

EMORIES OF THE NATION The Events Of The Year Trigger Memories From The Past rhe events of the past months have accomplished much not only in shaping the nation but also in testing it. The varied stories and pictures that will long be remembered sparked memories of those people that have captured, if only for a moment, the hearts and thoughts of citizens from all parts of the nation. These are universal memories - memories that ignore the shallow conflicts and debate of everyday existence and reflect the true essence of the commonality of mankind. Marine Lt. Col Oliver North became somewhat of a national celebrity during his testimony before the Iran Contra Hearings. PEOPLE One of the nation's most heartwarming stories was that of tiny Jessica McClure. The eighteen month old infant was trapped for 21/2 days in a Midland, Texas well while she entertained herself and her rescuers with her own rendition of Winnie the Pooh tunes. It was also the year of the teleevangelist. After Oral Roberts was ransomed from his homegoing by eight million dollars in contributions, the affairs of of Jim and Tammy Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart were brought to light reminding everyone of the divided loyalties of fallen man. Lt. Col. Oliver North and his secretary, Fawn Hall, were examples of those without divided loyalties. Their loyalty was to duty and country, but questions will fill the air as to their futures which lie in the hands of a special prosecutor. America said goodbye to several famous people in 1987-88. Among them were actor and musical entertainer Danny Kaye, pop artist Andy Warhol, pianist and millionaire Liberace, actor Jackie Gleason remembered for his role in The Honeymooners, and a television personality of recent fame, Clara Peller, known for her one line in Wendy's Restaurant commercials-- "Where's the Beef?"
Bush vs. Rather "Trying to be persistent about answers is part of a reporter's job." (Dan Rather, CBS News Anchorman) "The worst time I've had in 20 years in public life. Two weeks before a primary." (George Bush, U.S. Vice President) These were their reactions to their public confrontation in the midst of a CBS interview with the Vice-President. Bush clearly "won" the debate, but Rather revived questions about his role in the Iran-Contra affair. "WELCOME HOME, NANCY" read a banner on the White House when President Reagan escorted his wife home from the Bethesda Naval Hospital where she underwent breast cancer surgery. PERSONALITIES TELEVISION EVANGELISTS STUMBLED beginning with Jim and Tammy Bakker. They resigned from PTL ministries after he confessed to a sexual encounter with a young woman,and she began treatment for drug dependency. MISS MICHIGAN WON the Miss America 1988 crown. Miss Kaye Lani Rae Ratko shook the talent competition with her Polynesian dance. PREACHERS? "I'm asking you to help extend my life." (Oral Roberts-- during a plea for $4.5 million to be contributed to his ministry.) "God deliver us from these pretty little boys... calling themselves preachers of the gospel."(Jimmy Swaggart--months before soliciting the services of a prostitute.) rhe entertainment world saw the premiere of a new play on Broadway."The Phantom ofthe Opera" created a musical sensation as it broke the Broadway record of $12 million in advance sales. Another event that was comparable in sales, but not in culture, was the exciting re-match of the two goliaths of professional wrestling. The world's most watched wrestling match in history proved too much for the champion, Hulk Hogan. Andre the Giant, weighing in at 7'4", 400 pounds, successfully stole the championship belt much to the chagrin of millions of tiny "Hulksters." Just when everyone thought it was safe to turn the TV back on, the Vice President was "Bushwacked" by the "not-so-ever-present" Dan Rather. A few weeks earlier, Rather had stormed off the set to protest extended coverage of a U.S. Open Tennis match. The screen went black for 6 minutes until Rather returned. Many viewers felt that it was the most accurate six minutes of news coverage in televison history. As George Bush was planning to enter the White House, Ronald Reagan,one of America's most esteemed personalities, was preparing for his departure from Washington after two terms of service.
Black Poll Power "American life is not like a blanket of unbroken cloth of one color and one texture. American life is like a quilt of many patches, many pieces, many colors bound together by a common thread," said Jesse Jackson in his 1984 quest for the presidency. His 1984 campaign was basically a side-show; however, in 1988, Jackson surrounded himself with white supporters. He nearly upset the 1988 presidential candidacy of Michael Dukakis when he defeated him in the Michigan primaries almost 2-1. Though he did not receive the nomination, he was the last Democrat to bow to Dukakis, making him the first black to ever come close to the American presidency. His contribution to politics activated black poll power. A resurgence of civil rights activity was evidenced in many ways,including increased registration of black voters. "ROBERT BORK REJECTED" was on the front of every newspaper in the fall of 1987. After five days of grilling Bork's judicial philosophies and private life, 58senators rejected him as a Supreme Court Justice. POLITICS The excitement of the upcoming presidential election certainly highlighted the year in politics. It started out as a battle among thirteen hopeful candidates; however, when the smoke and scandal had cleared, only two remained standing, Massachussetts Democrat Michael Dukakis and Republican Vice-President, George Bush. The most notable casualty came early as reporters met Gary Hart's challenge and also met his weekend visitor Donna Rice. After withdrawing from the campaign in the midst of scandal, Hart later re-entered in order to "let the people decide" the fate of his candidacy. They decided quickly, and Hart later exited the race after receiving no more than 1% of the vote in subsequent primaries. President Ronald Reagan survived the last year of his lame duck presidency after a number of major disappointments. The rejection of Robert Bork as Supreme Court Justice, along with two other of Reagan's nominations, was finally resolved with the acceptance of Supreme Court Judge Kennedy. The never-ending Iran-Contra hearings also proved disastrous for the Chief Executive. However, a command performance by Lt. Col. Oliver North and a successful SovietAmerican Summit with Mikhail Gorbachev, which produced the most comprehensive weapons treaty in history, may allow the most popular president in history to retire quietly to his new home in California. As President Reagan began to leave, the first female British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, prepared to stay for another four years after being the first prime minister to be elected to a third consecutive term. Pope John Paul III made his second trip to the United States. During his visit, America witnessed some of the tightest security to be given to any personality. THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE celebrated its 50th birthday. About 250,00 people jammed onto it for an anniversary walk while 500,000 were denied access because engineers feared that the bridge could not support the weight. On the same evening, San Francisco sponsored celebratory fireworks.
MINNESOTA TWINS', Kirby Pucket and Jeff Roerdon,celebrated their World Series victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Twins beat the Cardinals 4-2 in the seventh game of the series. Twins pitcher, Frank Viola, was voted most valuable player in the series. A 24-DAY STRIKE by the NFL players ended in midOctober when the union capitulated and went to court instead of trying to bargain with the club owners. PLAYERS T.he year in sports always contributes its share of memorable moments. Basketball fans saw the graceful exit of one of the game's most loved players, Julius Erving. Dr. J was honored throughout the season by special ceremonies, and finally, the retiring of his Philadephia 76er's jersey. Certainly, basketball will miss good ole' number 6. It was also a banner year for the not-so graceful Bobby Knight, infamous coach of the Indiana Hoosiers. Their record was impressive on the way to defeating Syracuse by one point for the NCAA crown. The 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary seemed to last an eternity for the lackluster American athletes. The hopes and dreams of the Olympians seemed to fall as quickly as American speed skater Dan Jansen and figure skater Debi Thomas. Both fell twice in their quest for the gold. However, the Americans did find inspiration in Russian figure skater Katarina Wittand British ski jumper —Eddie the Eagle." Equally noticable was the disappointment of football's John Elway. The Denver Bronco quarterback blew an early lead and eventually lost the Super Bowl for the second time in two years--this time to the Washington Redskins. Baseball received its fair share of attention in May. Cincinnati Reds manager, Pete Rose, was given a 30 day suspension for shoving an umpire. His appeals were unflinchingly denied.

To Minister..• MINISTRY. What is it? Webster defines it as"the office or duties ofa minister." But what is a minister? And what does it mean to minister? Again turning to Webster, it is defined as "a diplomatic representative, an ambassador." And to minister is "to give aid or service." Thus a minister is a representative that aids or serves within the context of his ministry, his chosen office. Well, that's all fine and official and governmental. But what about those who aren't so official? What about those who arejust students at a small private college out in the middle of a cornfield? How can those students minister? How can those students be ministers? How can they make a difference? The answer is simple. They already are ministers!They were appointed the day Jesus Christ became their Savior. lie is the "higher office" they serve and to whom they are accountable. But there's one catch! Just because students are ministers doesn't mean that they're good ones. Any higher office can be poorly or aptly represented. Christians don't have a choice about being a representative once they've chosen Jesus, but they can choose how to represent Him. Ministry need not be structured. Think of it: students minister for God when they sing His praises and trust Him. Students minister to each other when they take time to encourage, or when they give ofthemselves to aid a brother or sister. Or ministry can be structured. Students usher at the Fellowship, visit the jails, operate a puppet, or sing on a weekend traveling team. But whatever their chosen field or their chosen ministry, Christians must be careful not to have an officejust for the sake of the position or prestige it may bring. They must serve in their chosen capacity for one purpose only: to represent the "higher office" to the best of their abilities. As Christian students,they must be good ambassadors notfor personal gain but for His!This is the only way Cedarville will make the difference. 11 To minister is to make a difference...a difference in the lives ofothers. Cedarville emphasizes this kind of ministry. ; Dana Lachmiller and Doug Cunningham paused for prayer with the rest of the college family. Day ofPrayer was held during winter and spring quarters. Steve Averitt paused for some quiet time, an important time for Steve and other members of traveling teams. Chapel is the center of a Cedarville College day.

Ron Matthews blesses lives with his musical talents. Brothers Ron and Gary Matthews provided specialmusic for the Fall Bible Conference. The Matthews brothers were on the forefront of the musicscene during the first week ofclasses in September. Both men are active ministers and composers of music. Dr. David Bumham said,"They are outstanding in their fields." Dr. Donn Ketcham,medical missionary,challenged students with his stories of faith and love. His experiences helped students to understand a bit about the mission field. 16 Bible Conferences Missionary to Canada,Jan Gazdik, was one of the three keynote speakers during the Missionary Conference. His Czechoslovakian accent emphasized his convicting statements such as "Strive only for Jesus." Missionary Norm Nicklas was the third speaker ofthe Missions Conference. He reached the students' level by recounting his exploits as a Cedarville student--"the ewe in William's Hall and the love story of Evelyn."
Conferences edarville does make a difference and chapel is one of the most significant tools used to equip students. 13y beginning each quarter with a conference, students are given a chance to reflect on their values and challenged to act on them. The new school year is a time ofrenewal, but more importantly, it is a time to rededicate hearts to God. The special fall guest speaker, Dr. David Burnham, challenged students with encouraging and enlightening messages. During his years as a student at Wheaton, Dr. Burnham was a small college All-American football player and was drafted by the Washington Redskins. The 1988 Missionary Conference commenced winter quarter. Three missionaries shared their experiences and their hearts. Jan Gazdik commented about the enthusiasm ofthe students. "You can see it in their faces," he said. Missionaries flocked to Cedarville College for LET THEM KNOW 1988 to share this year's missionary conference with the student body. Jan Gazdik, Donn Ketchem, and Norm Nicklas were the three keynote speakers. The messages challenged all to probe inward, to look upward, and to reach outward. It encouraged them to rethink their direction, to count the cost, and to follow regardless of it. Cedarville could not forget their commitment to the cause of Christ. As Jan Gazdik stated, "Do not strive for the peripheral matters. Do not strive for maturity or for a better prayer life. Strive only for Jesus.The rest will care for itself. .. God does not want a divided heart." "The purpose oflife is the building ofcharacterthrough truth to the glory of God." This was the focal point ofDr. Warren Wiersbe's messages during the 1988 Spring Enrichment Conference. tie reminded the college family that in order to build character one must learn to suffer, to pray, and to work. Dr. Wiersbe expressed that he always feels at home when speaking to the student body. "They listen and have a respect for the Word of God." Dr. Wiersbe's final challenge was "Live in the Word of God and live the Word of God." Dr.David Burnham,a former college All-American football player, challenged students spiritually during the Fall Bible Conference. Dr. Bumham currently serves on the World Congress on Sports for the 1988 Olympics. Dr. Warren Wiersbe from Back to the Bible" exhorted students to build character. The theme that highlighted his nine messages was "The purpose oflife is the building ofcharacter through truth to the glory of God." Bible Conferences

G.," is responsible for the direction of the Fellowship. Special music was uplifting. As Melynda Moody looked on, Julie Kurtz presented her song. 20 Fellowship
Involvement edarville College began the Fellowship in January 1970, under the direction of Pastor Harold Green. Pastor Green said that he felt the students needed a Sunday night place of worship with which they could identify. Visitors attend area churches - not so with the Fellowship. The Fellowship offers unique qualities: it is not a local church and it has no ordinances. Another unique characteristic of the Fellowship is its "sterile" atmosphere. Non-Christians rarely attend; it is a body of believers who come together to worship. Pastor Green did say that he missed the opportunity ofseeing people being saved and growing as the body grows. Current Advisory Seven member, Mike Wittmer, said that a unique quality is the student involvement and sense of ownership. This involvement in ownership is realized through the students' - election of the Advisory Seven who plans the weekly services. These seven men are likened to a church deacon board. Each member has a different responsibility: chairman, secretary, Sunday School superintendent, music, treasurer, prayer chain director, and project leader. After being elected to the Advisory Seven, the men vote among themselves to decide who will have each responsibility.When asked why most students attend the Fellowship, P.G. said,"It belongs to the students; they have a voice in the service. And it's convenientfor people whodo not have cars to attend elsewhere."

Times to Travel A"Cedarville College experience" consists of more than just a four year academic endeavor. Students may choose to be involved in a vast number of activities during their college years. included in the list of "extracurriculars" is the option to take part in a traveling team. These ministry teams began in the early 1970's and include puppet teams, singing teams, and a drama team, Cedarville's most recent addition to the college traveling families. Over 70 students participated in these traveling teams last year. Their purpose was to bring the gospel message to the public and present Cedarville College as an option for undergraduate students. The students who participate in the teams become aware of the very real mission field which exists in our country as well asforeign countries. Besides fulfilling a vocal audition and sharing a personal testimony, the team member must also be willing to attend regular practices with his respective team. Once the teams are prepared to travel, they perform at churches,schools,camps,or just about anywhere an audience might be gathered!

A Summer of Ministry ince the first two MIS members left for their countries, Randal Patton for Colombia and Hannah StoveII for Haiti in 1970, the teams have strengthened in number and have traveled more broadly. For the summer of 1988, 54 members traveled to 13 different countries. Missy Runion, a returning member of the Australia team, remembered why she decided to try out for the MIS team last year. "I wanted to increase and strengthen my witness, take a taste of missionary life, use my talent for his glory, and see whether the Lord wanted me in missions." She said, "The people in Australia, especially the youth, were always watching us. It made me MIS...a life-changing experience, a place to learn the daily struggles a missionary faces, a personal challenge... consider the possibilities. more conscious of my actions and reminded me that I was there to witness to these people, not be a star." Although MIS has been thought of as a glamour vacation, Jennifer Lenhart reminds any of those thinking ofgoing on a MIS team that it definitely isn't glamour. "It's a lot of work; you have to remember your purpose, overlook a lot of the nit-picky things that may drive you crazy,and remember that you're part of a team." Dan Hale, a member ofthe '88 England/Ireland/Germany teamjoined to truly understand and get a real vision for the missionary life. "I have considered missions, and I know this first hand experience will open my eyes to what being a missionary is all about--it will draw me closer to it. And even if I do not go into mission work, as a layman, I will be more eager to support them, knowing their daily needs." Along with the new '88 Alaska Puppet team, all the teams received prayer and financial support from family and friends. MIS is one ofthe most involving ministries at C.C.

The directors at OVCH approached Cedarville that year to teach Sunday School.Since then, the ministry has developed into a tutoring service, Bible studies throughoutthe week,group activities on Sunday evenings as well as Sunday morning services. Approximately 100 students minister almost daily to the needs of the troubled children at OVCH. Tina Love recalled, "I could barely stand to be there. The children were so lost and some so lonely. Some wouldn't have anyone if it weren't for Cedarville."

For over fifteeynears, Cedarville College students have ministered to prisoners at Greene County Jail. The seventeen member team was split into two teams.One team wrote letters to the inmates and the other visited them personally. The groups were both dedicated to building relationships while sharing the gospel. Inmates responded to Cedarville students with general openness. Kirk Keller, director of Compassion Ministries, explains, "The inmates were free to getinvolved ortojust go about their business." Two prisoners were saved last year and many were discipled. Scott Poling,team leader reflected,"Many times we would go to minister to them and they would end up ministering to us."

The Lifeline Players tried to help teens deal with such questions. Under the direction of Greg Hopwood,the improvisational drama team traveled to churches and ministered to teens through skits about topics such as "peer pressure" and "parent/teen conflict." Hopwood patterned the team after a group he had been in while attending public high school and many ofthe skits were adaptationsfrom that team.The Lifeline Players wascomposed ofnine studentsfrom Cedarville: Jeanie Erneston, Tim Felt, Greg Hopwood, Fred Rineheart, Sue Rogers, Brenda Sutliff, Kevin Tupps, Keith Wiederwax, and Molly Williams.

The school saw this addition come to life in the form of clowns.Clowns for Christ is a ministry of students who enjoy working with children and making then laugh. The students had their own clown costumes and practiced skits, stories and other methodsofsharing the gospel and discipiing young Christians while at thesame time making them laugh. Over 20 students have been involved annually since the team began. The members travel to children's clubs, nursing homes, youth rallies and special church activities. The team hasseen such success in two years that plans have been made to form two Clowns for Christ teams.

A System of Che James T. Jeremiah Eugene Apple Francis Bresson William A. Brock Gilbert Brueckner James B. Carraher Jack Cline Bill Commons John Draxler George Engelmann Larry Fetzer Joseph Godwin Roy Guenin David Graham Jim Henninger rhe purpose and function of the Board of Trustees have often eluded students.It has seemed,as one student said,that,"I've heard a lot about them, yet I've never really known what they do . . . they're like a distant, reverential father to be feared." Yet the Trustees are not distant. They are aware of every major element—whether it be a financial, student, or staff/faculty problem—that concerns the college. The Board migrates to Cedarville quarterly to review and plan. As Dr. Jeremiah said, "They don't run the college, but they set the rules of the game." Their topics of discussion might Include: the appointment of a President; the hiring and promoting of college employees; the financial plans, ranging from the General Fund to endowments and investments;any changes in the educational programs; and policies related to extra-curricular activities. 36 Board Of Trustees
cks and Balances Jack W. Jacobs Gene Miller J. Dale Murphy George O'Bryon Irwin Olson Randy Patten Lynn Rogers Gerald Smelser Al Stevens Paul Tassel Donald L. Tyler Earl Unbaugh Paul Verier W. Thomas Younger To be a member of the board, the candidate must be a born again separatist believer who is actively involved in an independent, separatist Baptist church. He must also uphold the beliefs of the doctrinal statement and adhere to the standards of conduct, as specified in the Cedarville College constitution. Dr.Jeremiah spoke affectionately of the Board of Trustees, "These men have supported the President of the college. I've known them all ...they're just good, godly men." The primary function of the Board is to offer a system of checks and balances to ensure that,as a college,Cedarville adheres to the principles it set forth when it became a Baptist institution—to follow the unchanging Word of God in a constantly changing society. Board of Trustees 37
An organization is only as good as its leader. Dr. Paul Dixon has been the godly,committed leader ofCedarville College since 1978. Since he became President, one word can be associated with the college: quality. Though President Dixon works hard as the school's executive, he still feels his major responsibility is to the students.As he put it, "I feel I have the role offather to 1800 kids. I look out on them in chapel and see the potential." Dr. Dixon never fails to get involved on campus. lie walks to chapel with students. You can see him take his place in line at the cafeteria. When the College's sports teams play, Dr. Dixon is in the middle of the crowd cheering,lie holds discipleship groups and even counsels students one-on-one. President Dixon is sincere when he says his home phone is open to any student who has a problem anytime in his life. The students can feel this concern as they come in contact with him.Sophomore Greg Phipps said, "I can tell he's a 38 Administrators Giving Direction Dr. Paul Dixon, President very sincere man.When hesays you can call him with a problem,he means it." Junior Dave Driskill feels that "Dr. Dixon's heart really reaches out to the students. Ile seeks to help students in need." Psalm 37:23 has been a challenging verse for Dr. Dixon. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,and he delighteth in his way." Dr. Dixon's steps are definitely those of a good man!
Duane Wood The newest member of the Administration, Dr. Duane Wood,took over the position of Academic Vice President vacated by Dr. Clifford Johnson. Dr. Wood arrived in July of'87 to join Cedarville College. His enthusiasm for the college and specifically for the students allowed for wide acceptance from the student body. Student, Mike Davis noted that Wood was "excited to be here." Donald Rickard For over 18 years, Dean Rickard has acted as Vice President of Student Services. He serves as disciplinarian to the students as well as acting as their intercessor to the administration, lie serves as the SGA advisor, and his seminar on marriage has helped many students prepare for wedlock. He also teaches the course "Human Sexuality." Dean Rickard commented, "Interaction makes myjob rewarding." Ken St. Clair The food service,the bookstore, the post office, and money investment are just some of the responsibilities of Kenneth St. Clair, Vice President for Business. Mr. St. Clair came to Cedarville 29 years ago and started the Business Department, now the College's top major. Today, he uses his knowledge of financial matters to take care ofCedarville's business needs. Martin Clark Dr. Martin Clark came to Cedarville as Director of Counseling 14 years ago. After 10 years in that role, he moved on to become Vice President for Development. His position requires that he earn extra college funds to make up for what student tuition does not cover. Sherri Watson of the Development Office,says Clark is"a strong leader who leads by example." Harold Green lie has directed the Campus Fellowship and the Outreach Ministries for almost20 years. He is Harold Green, Vice President for Christian Ministries. "PG," as he is affectionately called, involves himself with students as a pastor and a counselor and he relates to their spiritual needs. Fellowship song leader, Mike Witmer, said Green "has a sincere concern for the student body." um. Administrators 39
