here are those who teach at Cedarville with a simple appreciation for the university,and there are those whose passion for the school runs so deeply that everything ingrained within them calls to be an active part of this institution. Dr. Ron Walker is a fine example ofa professor who doesn't see Cedarville as simply a job, but as a calling that provides him with joy and continuous satisfaction.

After witnessing the MIS students'encouraging spirit, Dr.Walker set his sights on becoming an integrated part oftheir everyday academic lives. Prior to teaching at Cedarville he was a teaching assistant at Kent State University,as well as a professor at Central State University and the University of Montana.As he pursued his doctorate, Dr.Walker,grandfather to seven beautiful children, n relishes the time he has with his ever-growing family.

t wasso much morethan I expected,"reflected freshman student iigirSarah Early on the weekend that seems a million miles away now:Getting Started.Thefreshman class of2006 arrived earlier than returning students in order to have the campusto themselvesfor a special orientation time.Friday through Sunday was a bustle of activity between moving in,student and parent orientation sessions,and bonding timefor all new students.Enthusiasm spread like wildfire across campus as music blared from dorm parking lots,students busily set upfor the next nine months oftheir lives,and parents saw their children growing up right in front oftheir eyes. The faculty and staffofCedarville planned many orientation sessions for both students and parents to acclimate them to life as a member ofthe Cedarville family. Many parents especially appreciated the time and thought that Cedarville put into making sure they knew how to stay connected to their child both academically and emotionally."I was surprised at how much I didn't know and how much I could still be involved in my child's life and education through Cedarville,"expressed parent Sharon Martin. The highlight of Getting Started Weekend for most new students was the Early Arrival Party.With free food,games,and random entertainment,the party provided a great atmospherefor meeting new people and getting a glimpse ofcollege life at Cedarville. New student Kortni Hasselbach added, "The whole weekend was really effective for meeting people-the party,small groups,dorm units-everything!" Getting Started Weekend exceeded the expectations of both students and parents asthey were"oriented"to this new aspect oftheir lives. It gave them a chance to experience with their families the exciting changes that were taking place.While it wasthe end for somethings,it wasthe beginning and the"getting started"ofsomething bigger than anyfreshman could imagine. n Lawlor RAs Justin McCoy, Tim Miller,and Dan Lagan take a break from helping students move in."Getting Started weekend is a blast.

eedarville University prides itself on starting the school year off with the Fall Bible Conference. What better way to commence a new year than by easing a few chapels and night services in before classes? "It gave us a fresh perspective on what we believe and why,and how we should act upon our belief,"sophomore Kaitlin Dunnevant reflected. On August 21,2006,President Bill Brown set the 2006-2007school year in motion by introducing our theme:"Go and Make Disciples"from the Great Commission of Matthew 28:17-20. Those who experienced hard circumstances over the summer were lifted up in prayer—a powerful reminder of what over three thousand students plus faculty and staffcan bear through the support oftheir brothers and sisters in Christ. Students also enjoyed a new worship leader, Matt Rexford,and innovative praise songs. Thefollowing day,Dr.Brown introduced the Bible Conference speaker:inspirational,lively,and challenging Dr.Voddie Baucham. Though returning students were disappointed with not being able to sing the traditional Lion ofJudah,Dr.Baucham brought his own lion to the stage in his messages aboutcontending for the faith. Senior Sarah Ensslen was especially appreciative of his topicfor the week. She said, "Contending for the faith was a great topicfor our last Fall Bible Conference as we will soon leave Cedarville and be immersed in secular society every day." No student was caught sleeping as Baucham began by placing Jeremiah 29:11 back into context and answered our worldview questions with Colossians 1:15-23. Sophomore Corey Reeder appreciated the passion he held for his chosen topic. "[His] passion was evident in how sound his doctrine was and how he solidly stood on the things he knew:' His genuine desire to touch the lost,oppressed,and hurting world inspired many as he urged students to rise up and share the gospel. His compelling gestures,compassionate tears, and urgent voice made every studentfeel the depth of his ultimate challenge: "Eternity is at stake,Cedarville!" A "Baucham's reminder of how crucial the Resurrection is to our faith was a great start to the year,"says senior Nathan Hamilton. Witit Vit. Vaiie,ligachast,
4 Matt and Whitney Rexford start the school year off with innovative songs and lively worship. Although this was a changefrom Mr. DiCuirci's usual hymns at the beginning ofeach semester,many students appreciated the shift in music and the way that God used Matt to lead the student body in worship. n Cedarville President Dr. Bill Brown commencesthe school year with thefocus of "Go and Make Disciples,"a prayer for the upcoming year,and a welcoming smile for the freshmen. Matt introduces us to another new song during the week of Bible Conference, "Hosanna,"which has quickly become a favorite around campus. Music Professor Connie Anderson proudly shows off her graduation garb for another Commencement.

Sunlight slanted through a blue-and-yellow-tinted Main Street, speckling the pavement already crowded with students,alumni, and town residents,setting an October mood for Homecoming 2006 - festivities began with a bang. Cedarville police led the pack atthe Homecoming Parade,followed by Grand Marshall Lew Gibbs and winners ofthe annual alumni awards. Following them was a whole host offamiliar characters — the Addam's Family,Batman and the Joker,Gilligan,the Beverly Hillbillies, Ross and Rachel,Lucy,even Big Bird,all making appearanceson behalfofa particular organization or dormitory. Root beer floats,tootsie rolls, and old-fashioned crackerjack boxes completed the scene,parade staples that reminded everyone Homecoming wasjust beginning. That evening,the air,thick with spirit and excitement,rose to contain the screams ofthe more than 1,200Yellow Jacketfans, many ofthem returning alumni,as they watched a rookie on the men's soccer team,Jason Buckley, blast the winning goal. Fellow teammate,senior Elliot Moore,described the experience as"one ofthose gamesthat you wantto win so bad because you wantalumni to walk away with a smile on their faces. It's great playing, especially when you know there are so many people out there." At half-time,the new cross-country track was unveiled and senior Jason Briggs became Cedarville's first Homecoming King in years. Fellow senior Nikki Carroll was crowned Homecoming Queen. "I was stunned to be nominated for queen,so when it was announced,I was absolutely shocked!"she said. "In my book,it's not important who won or didn't. It's that each ofthe nominees,and all of us,strive to be a reflection of Christ" Homecoming:it's a time ofcoming together after a long summer apart - a time for being creative,for demonstrating will and determination,and for imagining whatthe coming year will hold,all before the last blue and yellow balloons would float out ofreach. n Brittany Smartand fellow senior Latice Strickland feel honored to represent their class and university."The whole experience was definitely a special memory of my senior year;'Latice says.

elear skies and steady waters conflicted with rattled emotions and less-than-sturdy canoe designs at this year's cardboard canoe race. Having returned to the standard raceformat after a treacherous new course was attempted last year,several freshman engineers made it safely to the other side ofCedar Lake with little damage to their precious creations. While a number ofcompetitors did an impressivejob of paddling through the turbulent waters,this year's winners held the spectators'attention with a unique design and break-neck time. Freshman Michael Conyers,a member ofthe winning team,described the special design oftheir canoe.As opposed to the typical canoe design,Conyers and his team built a canoe that was 11 feet long and 2feet wide,allowing smooth movementacross the water.However,according to advisor and senior Ryan Prins, having Conyers on the team enabled their victory simply because"he's a stud." Another surprising factor that clenched the prized TI-89'sfor thesefreshman engineers was their passenger,junior Amanda Cole. According to teammate Nathan Ciolek,"She was yelling whatto do to our guys while riding across the lake. Ifshe wasn't allowed to help paddle in any way,at least she could keep the engineers in line." Engineering students weren'tthe only victors on canoe race day,however. In the departmental races,the Centennial Library staff's canoe barely snatched the coveted trophyfrom the Student Campus Activities Board in the last seconds ofthe race.Junior paddler Linnea Norris explained the most difficult part ofthe race was "jumping out ofthe canoe atthe end into squishy lake muck that encapsulated my legs!' n Trey Johnston and Kyle Spivey(back)celebrate their demolition derby win.According to Spivey,"after the first[brace] broke..I thought we were dead,but in the end The Gremlin prevailed."
Members ofTen24(formerly CAB)pose in front oftheir departmental canoe entry.Senior Courtney Brott explained that"last year the boat sunk right away,so having a competitive finish was a lot offun for all of us." n John Hagen(back)describes the harrowing journey:"We paddled across the whole lake asfast as we could,leaking and slowly sinking the entire way. Finally, just as we reached the bank ofthe finish, we went under. But thanks to the graciousness of Dr.Chaznov,we still counted as a finish!" k The Canoe race consistently attracts a healthy crowd every year.Junior Bob Thalman,one ofthe spectators,recalls that"It wascompletely nerve-racking to watch. The demolition derby was incredible;I'm a big fan. I'm so glad I didn't have to swim around in Cedar Lake;I'd probably mutate!' Sophomore Rachel Gredy,bringing up the rear,leaves the canoe race experience with nothing but positivity.She explains,"It wasfun getting to know the girls and figuring out ways of not sinking in the lake,which was all that mattered to me at the time!" v Two ofthe winning team members,Michael Conyers and Jordan Enderle,race to the finish to clench the fastest time.Senior advisor Ryan Prins noted thefreshman team's diligence with the project."Many teams put offconstruction until a few days before the race, but this team got an early start,and their steady work paid off in the encrsaid Prins. "We're gain down!"is all freshman Mark Krikke can think as he plunges into Cedar Lake.Even though hefound it impossible to make it to the other side unscathed, Krikke thoughtthe canoe project"helped me see how I can use what I learn in real-life situations."
oonlight Madness is alwaysfun. It's one of myfavorite fall events," ii said Chris Cleveland,who obviously enjoyed himself while kicking offthe event by running around the court with a CU flag. Enthusiastic fans enjoyed free pop while Rod Bradley welcomed everyone with "fan education,"which included keyjingling and learning to spell Jackets.The fans used their new cheering skills to root for the men's and women'steams in a three-point shooting contest.The teams were well-matched,butthe women won in overtime.The RDs were next to show their hoop shooting skills in a free-throw contest,followed by the student dunk contest. "Moonlight Madness was the chance for students,faculty, players,and coaches to have a great time showcasing their talents,"said Brent Martin, who participated in the student dunk contest.Sam Fraser appeared to be the crowd's favorite dunker,although he received a low scorefrom one ofthe judges because"he didn't point his toes."Jim Sawin said ofthe dunk contest, "Jason Scott and I have been messing around with dunksfor about a month. We had fun,and everyone threw down a lot ofsweet dunks!"After Sam Fraser made a dunk whilejumping over a friend,Jason Scott decided to try the same trick...while leaping over the tallest basketball player.He succeeded on his second try,when the sore-headed player bent down. Not to be outdone,the men's team had their turn at dunking.The players madesome impressive shots including onefrom behind the basket, after which a dedicated spectator raced onto the court to shine the player's shoe."Moonlight madness got Cedarville psyched up for basketball season," said Christa Funke."The slam dunks were especially effective at exciting the Cedarville family.We back the Jackets all the way!" A"The dunk contest wasone ofthe best experiences I've had at Cedarville!"says Jason Scott,who is pictured leaping over a tall and very nervous Chris Walker.
The crowd encourages the teams with its energy and enthusiasm.At Rod's instruction,fansjingle their keys,wave their CU Rally Towels,and shout,"Let's go Jackets!" n Rod Bradley starts the evening off by educating thefans,teaching us the basic cheers.The crowd quickly learned to stomp and shout"Defense!"and make some noise for their favorite team. e Cheerleading co-captain Heather Kelton is being held in a halfextension.Heather says,"It's alwaysfun to get the crowd yelling'Blue and gold'with us." Greg Briggs shows his supportfor the Jackets by competing in a halftime relay race while struggling to hold up a larger player'sjersey. •"Moonlight Madness is one ofthe greatest times of my Cedarville experience," says Maicol Venter,who is pictured during the tip-off with rival Chris Walker. "I had so much fun cheering this year. It was really great to see so much school spirit thanks to the amazing fans,"says cheerleading co-captain Ashley Coale. "The atmosphere the student body creates will always be one of my favorite highlights ofthe season.We have great support,and I appreciate the opportunity to represent Christ on the court,"says Karah Walton.
Snap! From the thriller pantomime until the revelation,every audience member asked "whodunit?"as Cedarville's actors performed Agatha Christie's classic play,The Mousetrap. Each audience member was handed a black card and asked to vote during intermission for whom they suspected wasthe murderer. For those unfamiliar with the play,the suspect was constantly shifting from one character to another. The mystery increased as the unfortunate Mrs. Boyle, played by senior Rebecca Wolff,was killed. Rebecca agreed the audience probably was nottoo sad to see this cynical woman go,yet she had fun "pretending to be strangled and actually making it sound realistic." Paravicini,the"unexpected guest" played by Grant Hansen,caused raised eyebrows as Grant enjoyed "identifying the minute mannerisms and quirks of[Paravicini,which]transformed the black and white pages ofthe script into a believable character." After her interview with Detective SergeantTrotter, Miss Casewell,played by senior Jaimie Teekell,exclaimed that the inspector has solved the case! Jaimie admits,"The best part about playing Miss Casewell was her cynicism!" Atlast,the cloak wasthrown offto reveal Trotter, played by sophomore Daniel Zimmerman,as the murderer. Daniel had played the part of Paravicini in a high school performance ofThe Mousetrapand wanted to play the murderer this time. His wish was granted as he surprised everyone who had not already been familiar with Agatha Christie's works. His challenge was"acting as an actor within another actor." Senior Bonnie Wright,an avid Agatha Christi reader,enjoyed the performance. Bonnie noted that while the audience was given an opportunity to votefor the murderer,Trotter was not on the ballot, which "added to the whole deception ofthe play." Bravo to the actors,crews,and technicians for their ability to master another classic performance ofone ofthe longest running plays in history. A Major Metchalf, played by senior Eric Mishne,reminds Mollie and Christopher that murder is not a game."No one knew really what was going on until Metcalftold all in the end,and I had fun tying all the ends together;' says Mishne.
I The Whodunit begins to unravel as Detective SergeantTrotter, played by sophomore Daniel Zimmerman,leans in to interrogate Miss Casewell, played by senior Jaimie Teekell. k Christopher Wren playfully chokes the snooty Mrs.Boyle, while singing"Three Blind Mice"with whatseems like innocentfun—or was it? Rebecca Wolffloved knowing the audience was guessing the entire time who was going to be the victim:"The whole experience was a blast...including pretending to be strangled and actually making it sound realistic." The audience and cast alike are astonished by Mr.Paravicini, played by sophomore Grant Hansen. Grant enjoyed becoming Paravicini through"the fastidious dress(including manicure)and unnerving habits ofa less than reputable character:' As the'unexpected guest,'he"had fun being mysterious and creepy throughoutthe show!' • Stage manager senior Victoria E. Duff,Director Robert L.Clements,and senior Assistant Stage Manager Phil McLeod proudly sit back and smile at ajob well done. Director Robert Clements compliments the students as"a wonderful group of young adults who worked hard to strive for excellence and to bring honor and glory to our Lord." v Mollie tries to calm her husband Giles down as he threatens Christopher Wren to stay awayfrom Mollie."What I liked mostabout playing Christopher Wren,"says senior Colin Luther,"was having the ability to make the audience laugh at his child-like enthusiasm while simultaneously irritating all ofthe other characters:' A Mollie Ralston, played by sophomore Alexandra Clements, and her husband Giles Ralston, played by senior Justin Keller, begin the play on a happy note—suspicion free and ready to host their first guests.
Some thought of it as a day off- others,an opportunity to catch up on some muchneeded sleep or neglected homework.However,for those who took the occasion seriously,Cedarville's annual Day of Prayer proved to be an effective and refreshing way to reconnect with God amidst the stress ofcollege and everyday life. A few distinctive qualities separated this year's Day of Prayer from previous years. Instead of having a sermon that related to prayer,students Luke Seelye, Kevin Gulley,and Elliot Moore led the three different sections ofthe service:a time of repentance,a time for praise,and finally a time for prayer.Junior Sarah Newman especially enjoyed the corporate prayer at the end of chapel.She said,"Iliked hearing everyone praying at once as a united student body:' Senior Elliot Moore,one ofthe student leaders ofthe service,explained his perspective from onstage:"1 noticed that many people stayed afterwards and prayed in groups or just talked with each other. Pastor Rohm even commented on how this year's Day of Prayer seemed to be different in the attitude and spirit ofthe students."Clearly,the new format added a refreshing change and a push in the right direction in the prayer lives ofthe students. Another defining change in this year's Day of Prayer wasthe use ofthree separate rooms designated for the prayer needs of unsaved family members,those in the mission field,and miscellaneous concerns ofthe students. Moore explained thara number of people came through the rooms even hours after the chapel service;'which illustrated the deep love and concern the students of Cedarville shared for one another.Senior Andrea Martin,a participant in the prayer rooms,said that praying over one's individual concerns "reminded [her]that God holds each of our requests in His hands."Hopefully,Cedarville's Day of Prayer 2006 left a permanent reminder of God's power and the ability we all have to come to Him in sacred prayer. A Junior Kevin Gulley(middle)appreciates having the day off specifically for prayer. He said,"A special day that lets us be still and that prompts us to explore different areas of prayer is a welcome refreshment during the semester!' DAY OF PRAYER • Several students reach out to the Lord during worship.Junior Teresa Keller described prayer as a"two-way conversation,"and enjoyed the Day of Prayer's ability to"dedicate a whole day for us to draw nearer to God!' I Senior Cara Slaybaugh remembers the importance of the Day of Prayer events:"I learned a lot over the past couple years about worshiping through music,and my song is my prayer • Senior Lukas Seelye brings an encouraging insight to the DOP: "I left thirty minutes after the service ended,and there were still many groups of people praying all over the chapel!' IV Day of Prayer chapels are frequently charged with students' desires to call out to God.Junior Derek Hostetter looks at the Day of Prayer as"a great way for the university to show that it believes in the faithfulness ofGod to answer our prayers!'
A The serious faces on"The Webs"comprised ofJustin Willets,Chase Baldwin,Stephen Eslick,and Derek Stockwell(not pictured)didn't last long. Derek Stockwell says,"I was blind sided by the unexpected request for an encore, but more than happy to oblige:' Freshmen Zach Seelye and Nate Keller play Damien Rice's"Cannonball." rveryone knowsthat college students are low on funds. For some, spending the $5 go to the New StudentTalent Show,which showcased freshmen performing skits,songs,and interpretive dances, might have been a sacrifice of vending machine runs, mochas at Vecino's,or next semester's tuition. The 11 p.m.show,however,quickly sold out. Junior Wade McComas,host ofthe NSTS,kept things lively with his jokes and David Letterman-style Top 10 List asking whatthe Black Savvy(may it rest in peace)really was(#1:The abyss that our tuition falls into after we mail it.). He said,"Just getting to makesome people laugh or a least act like they were laughing was really cool." The group"The Webs"(Derek Stockwell,Stephen Eslick,Justin Willetts, and Chase Baldwin) performed a dance seen in an"Ok Go"music video and came in first during both shows. Derek Stockwell said,"I decided to try and find three other guys that were brave enough to take on the task. I really don't think I could havefound three better guysfor the part:' The audience voted singer-songwriter Jen Greer runner-up at the 11 o'clock show,and at 1 it wasZach Seelye and Nate Keller with Damien Rice's"Cannonball." Speaking about his experience in the NSTS,Stephen Eslick said,"My high point was right after we got off stage and knew that we nailed it... keeping a straight face out there wasn't easy to do,so once we were behind the curtain the joy spilled over and we went nuts." The crowd went nuts too,and judging by the energy in the auditorium that night,the general consensus was that although lots ofthings might not be worth quite five dollars,the New StudentTalent Show definitely was. A Freshmen Erin Gollihue and Jonathan Walburg keep the crowd entertained with their lively rendition of"Ain't No Mountain!'

aeing a college student awayfrom home has its ups and downs.One guaranteed downer is preparing for examsjust when we were ready to get into the holiday spirit, but Cedarville showed compassion for us poor college kids by setting aside timefor Christmas cheer. Chuck's added to our waistlines with special Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners,decking out the cafeteria with tablecloths and holiday decorations. Rather than heading to the Hive or some other non-cafeteria style food,most students recognized the importance ofthese meals -- the best you'll have in the cafeteria."My dinner was absolutely amazing,"junior Bobby Unis said,"1 liked the table cloths -- it was a treat!' Campus Christmas didn't stop with dinner. After filling stomachs and taking a quick photo with Santa,the festivities continued with a special concert by Denver and the Mile High Orchestra. With a packed house,the band played some of our Christmasfavorites while showing scenesfrom timeless classics like How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The evening wrapped up with a showing ofthe Christmas film Home Alone,warming the hearts of all who snuggled up in their pajamas atthe Doden Field House. Our beloved president,Dr.Brown,then read aloud Christmas stories like Olive,the Other Reindeer,a tale about a dog with an identity complex. Campus Christmas didn't end that night though. On Saturday,students "decked the halls"for Christmas Open House. With winning halls decorated for a"Nursing Home Christmas"in Johnson and a"Trans-Siberian Orchestra"in Rickard,students enjoyed decorating together and expressing their creative flair. Campus Christmasended with a community concert Sunday night. With soundsfrom the University's choral and instrumental ensembles, Cedarville heard the Christmas story read as the weekend ended in praise for the real meaning of Christmas. Junior Beth Chamberlain said ofthe Campus Christmas/'It was nice to be able to cometogether- almost like a family!' n Friends Lisa Mathewsand Karen Poch enjoy their time together in a dorm filled with lights for Campus Christmas.

Cedarville's Academic Division,a small departmentcomposed ofAcademic Assistance, Computer Services,the Library,and the Registrar's Office, expanded beyond measure this year. Computer Servicesdramatically expanded wireless network coverage to include access in the bedroom areas ofthe residence halls, whereas previously access was mainly restricted to academic buildings and the grounds. On a typical afternoon,approximately 700 students now connect to the network in this manner. Academic Assistance,more commonly known around campus simply as "The Cove,"expanded its influence through its mission to help Cedarville students become even more successful in their academic pursuits. The office served between fifteen and thirty students a day,up80 percentfrom the previous year. The Cove also hosted numerous events aimed at promoting the services available to students who visit the office. A spectacular eventthey called"Lemon Breeze" attracted 700 students and this year also saw the highest number ever attend the 153/13 eventforfreshmen and undeclared majors. Furthermore,the office's unique Academic Probation course,MAP,and nationally certified tutoring program were the anticipated topics oftheir presentations to the National Academic Advising Association. Through these and other areas too many to mention,the Academic Division has continued to do what it can to support the work of Cedarville University. 44atant40 See/tete/tad.
