Campus Activities Board by Ruthanne Pierson his year twenty-onejuniors and seniors comprised the Campus Activities Board. The Office ofCampus Activities, headed by Dick Walker and his hardworking staff, selected these students the previous year based on campus involvement,service, student and faculty recommendations,and leadership. The teeshirt laden students perform tasks ranging from pulling Li'l Sibs activities together, to handing out hot cocoa to students on the way to class during cold mornings. You might find them shoveling snow in front ofcommunity homes, picking up trash along highway 72,or helping guests find their seats at concerts. Whatever the task, their purpose is to serve and assist the Campus Activities office with any activities or special events. The group arrived early on campus September 10th, and promptly deputed on the"Possum"(a large overnight bus)for their annual "Trip." The "Trip," this year began with a lesson at the Annapolis Sailing School. After a few beginner basics,the group headed out to sea on the Chesapeake Bay to try out their newly discovered skills. From Annapolis,they road-biked to Washington D.C.and ended the two-day,90-mile bike excursion in Leesburg,VA—tired and extremely sore. Cedarville graduate and Grand Rapids Seminary student, Jeff Burr(`93),led the group in a message series entitled "Seizing the Opportunities ofthe Storm." The purpose ofthe'Trip" is to develop team building and a sense ofteam unity, which is crucial to the success ofany leadership team,early in the year. Senior CAB member Charity Rizer explained,"The CAB provides the opportunity to serve and have a lot offun doing it." Yet,fun is always tempered with the humility of service. Bible professor,Dr. Drullinger,shared with the team,in their weekly meetings,a series entitled,"The Sacred Order of the Towel," highlighting the servant aspects ofleadership. Service in leadership is truly what CAB exemplifies. campus activities board 139
