(' '; I• CAMPUS NEWS Campus Activities Means Student Development "So what could a college student possibly do in Cedarville all school year besides study?" The answer is - plenty! And it ' s plenty good if Dick Walker and his staff have anything to do with it. As director of the Campus Activities office, Walker is primarily responsible for offering the kind of quality, extracurricular programs which produce student involvement. "We would not need so extensive a program if we were an urban campus ," Walker stated . "But since the village of Cedarville is small, our students need a wider variety of available activities." He explained that quality student development involves more than the academics of the classroom and the extensive emphasis on the spiritual at Cedarville . "Physical and social growth are also vital. At Cedarville we take a holistic approach to student development." .therefore, Walker's office maintains a mind- 5'oggling calendar of events designed to develop interpersonal relationships, leadership, avocational skills, and appreciation for the arts . The Intramural/Recreational program typically involves 80% of the student body throughout the year. Whether it is flag football, basketball, racquetball, or ping pong, students enjoy participating at all skill levels. Individuals gain a sense of group identity through dorm and class competitions. There is also ample opportunity to try such adventures as skiing, horseback riding, or even white water rafting. Each year Campus Activities sponsors the annual Artist Series. World class performers such as piano virtuoso Andre Michel Schub , the Gregg Smith Singers, and the piano duo of Nielson and Young have graced the platform of the James T . Jeremiah Chapel. This year Walker and his student Campus Activities Board are introducing a new performance series called C. A .B. Presents. Designed for ministry as well as entertainment, these performances will feature Christian artists exclusively. The college family and their guests will enjoy drama, reader's theatre, comedy, concerts, and even the "magic" of a Christian illusionist. A new satellite dish has been added near the Student Center to increase the selection of available TV programming. Walker believes that educational conferences will eventually be broadcast over satellite as well. So what's there to do in Cedarville? Walker summarized, "Everything from listening to the Dayton Philharmonic to playing donkey basketball. There's something for everyone."
