Cynthia Suucr-ll:cl has been an integral part of the Unive rsity family. Al though her initial reason for coming was to develop the social work program and take it through accreditation, she did much more. She was the Director of Social \X1ork as well as the advisor to five extracurricular activities: Social \X1 o rk Club, Homes for Life, Habitat for Humanity, International Student Organization, and the Greene County Domestic Violence Project ministry team. Social \X1 ork student Stephanie Kurowicki said, "Cindy is a Social \X1ork professor who has truly embraced the profession. Her love for he r students and those she helps is unquescionablc.'' i\ lrs. Suttcr-Tkcl'sstudcnts recognize her greatest quality as her unselfish desire to sen·e others. " I have seen her give of herself in a sacrificial manner so many times. She lives her Christianity practically, and the love of Christ is very evident in her life," student Delton Hochstedler said. Known as goal-oriented, Mrs. Suuer-Tkel "\\ill go the extra mile in any project or re<Juest to insure that it is completed correctly. I have never known her to do something in a half-hearted manner," husband Har Tkel said. Befo re coming ro Cedarville, ~'irs.

" StudcntUfe Boy Bonding For the men at Cedarville University, donn I i fe was anything but boring. Unitandhallmcctings, parties. pick-a-dates, late night conversations, video games, along with classes and studies helped keep students busy well past curfew. For many, these activities provided a foundation upon which to build lasting friendships. Brett Cannichacl, a four year resident of Cedarvi lle' s donns. has enjoyed the chance to meet people and develop friendsh ips. "The donns we re a great place to hang out with friends, aflcrcurfcwofcoursc, and goof off. They were also a pl3cc to learn about life by talking to other people with different backgrounds and ideas.

With the new Steven's Student Center. the guys from the Hill found their hike to Chucks to be longer than it had been the year before; however. the guys in Brock enjoyed not making the trek past Cedar Lake. Students found new paths to the new cafeteria. The guys on the Hill even used an o ld wooden plank to cross the small creek between ENS and the SSC. As more and more students moved ofT campus because of larger enrollment. the guys remembered their donn years fondly. Senior Keith Flcntge said. ··we used to have a blast in the domts.

Spotlight's On Some students took advantage ofTWIRP week, some ignored it, and some scoffed at it, but beginning February 17 of winter quarter, TWIRP week gave the ladies at Cedarville University the encouragement they needed to ask out whoever caught their eyes. With the shoe on the other foot, Cedarville guys began to feel what they expect their female companions fee l the other 5 I weeks per year. Senior Aaron Warriner remembered when he was a freshman hoping that someone would ask him out. " I already had a girlfriend, but I was hoping for the chance to turn down someone, just to see how it felt. Of course, it didn't happen, but I was okay with that. " Junior Cara Snider decided to go all out on TWIRP week, asking two guys to go out on the same date. Snider was happy when they both said yes. "Well , I figured what the heck?" she said. "I mean we're all friends, and we went to the Alpha Chi Talent Show together, so I just decided I'd take them out." Senior Daniel McCoy was happy for the free meal that Snider provided...We had a great time," he said. "And the food, oh the food was good, and free." Alpha Chi hosted its annual Alpha Chi Talent Show during TWIRP week. The event gave many hesitant couples the impetus they needed for a TWIRP date.

FALL PLAY The fall play of 2000 was the first drama presented the Cedarville University family in the new theater in the Stevens Student Center. As a special part of Grandparents' Weekend , grandparents and students enjoyed the production of Smoke on the Mountain. The musical brought laughter from the audience members as the thespians portrayed parishioners of a coun try Baptist church during the Great Depression. Thi s light-hearted musical tells the story which reenacts a typical Sunday service in this "progressive" Baptist church. It depicted many scenes in which the audience members could laugh at themselves, while "being reminded that God is interested with what is in our hearts, not how well we follow the rules; junior Ken Mansfield said. Senior Vanessa Baker kept the audience laughing in her role as sign linguist June Sanders, a musically disinclined child of the traveling Sanders family. Her interpretation of gospel hymns was unique and comic of the audience Sophomore Ryan Culpepper added to the comedy with his role of Reverend Mervin Og l ethorpe, the preacher of this backwoods church . Smoke on the Mountain was a perfect choice for Grandparents' Weekend. "It was enlightening, fun, and entertaining ; grandfather of Adam Henker Dick Winkler said .

SPRING PLAY A much anticipated event for Parents' Weekend each year, the 2001 spring musical The Pirates of Penzance entertained thousands with its combination of comedy and choruses. More than 40 members of the Cedarville University family performed in the 120-year old show held in the theater of the Stevens Student Center. The story began with bloodthirsty pirates who have a "soft spot" for all fellow orphans. On the 21 " birthday of Freder ick (Joshua Canfield), he has been con tracted with the Pirate King {Joshua Salmons) because his nurse mistook the words "sea pilot" for "sea pirate: Unfortunately, it becomes his duty to kill all of his pirate friends. At this point in the story, Frederick meets and falls in love with Mabel (Crystal Cripe),the general's daughter, who agrees to marry him despite his profession. His fellow pirates meet (and claim) the other general 's daughters, and llOt surprisingly, the general is not pleased with this tum of events. The general then lies to the pirates, saying he is an orphan and will be left alone without his daughters, knowing the pirates' code does not allow them to bring harm to orphans. In Act Two, the cowardly police officers receive permission from the general to attack the pirates, but their plan is thwarted when the pirates attack the general's house upon finding out that he lied to them . The Major-General asks to be spared in the name of the Queen, which the pirates are bound to do throughtheirpirateduty. Afterwards, the general is more than happy to allow his daughters to marry the pirates in appreciation for their sparing his life. Students, parents, faculty, and staff all enjoyed the comic musical that ended the theater season for the year. "
