Taylor students experience missions in Ecuador, Jamaica by Ann Calkins staff reporter

Hurricane Gilbert's destruction of a church roof in Jamaica was repaired and OMS missionaries in Ecuador were comforted by the presence of Taylor students during their 1989 spring break.

For Richard Muthiah, student body president, this has been a year of learning to balance his various responsibilities, manage the people in the diverse councils in Taylor Student Organization and com­municate with his constituents, the student body and adminstration.

He ran his campaign on the platform issues of fall break and increased communication with the student body about issues thateffect

was a learning experience as well. According to Johnson, the main

purpose of the trip to Ecuador was "to let the students experience what missions is like in another country."

"The OMS missionaries es­corted us all over the country and we were an encouragement to them by singing in churches," she said.

"I had been exposed to another culture with my trip to India last summer, but this was my first time as a leader," Johnson said.

Because the Ecuador team's main missions were to encourage

the missionaries and learn about missions, more time was spent in observation than work.

Letters to the Editor

Yearbook Dear Editor,

Well it seems once again the Tay­lor students have "taken up arms" to follow a heated and timely concern for Taylor Unversity. It seems a shame, however, that their method only points to their immaturity and not their clever­ness for finding alternative solutions.

Yes, this is a letter to the editor concerning the yearbooks. No, I don't wnat to demand my money back. Rather, my purpose in writing is to ask those students interested in getting their money back, what it is they thought they would find at Taylor. I'd hate to think any Taylor student wouldn't be getting his/her money's worth.

One of the many things I have often loved about Taylor University is the openness of the community. But recently I have seen that openness seri­ously hurt several of my friends. I think the letters to the editor concerning the yearbook were uncalled for. At least not in the form which they were pre­sented. Perhaps we forgo t that the Ilium publishers are human beings (with feel­ings) that tried to do the Taylor commu­nity a service. (I think that was a fairly large oversight of both [published] authors).

Whether or not their concerns were without merit is not to be discussed here. Rather I want to discuss our free­dom to try (and maybe—God forbid— fail).

Allow me to illustrate my point, perhaps with an equally uncalled- for analogy. We are allowed to go to most T ay lor University football games free— with only our student IDs. On one particularly cold and windy Saturday

afternoon you and your friends go to see Taylor play. Due to the "poor perform­ance" of several team members, Taylor loses the game. You can point to sev­eral rather stupid situations that you know you would have handled differ­ently. Being the great football coach that you are, you rush down, give your thoughts to a nearby faculty member and DEMAND YOUR MONEY BACK.

Sound like the reasonable thing to do? Perhaps that's too unrealistic to think about. Let's illustrate it on a different scale. Assume we have a speaker for a week. He/she is going to lead us in the usual Christian engage­ments which we call RENEWAL. Unfortunately, something happens and this "renewaT'is not met with our pre­conceived notions. Do we demand a return on the money granted the speaker for the week? Sound silly yet? I'll assume it does and move on.

BesidesTaylor's openness, I have always loved the freedom to attempt new things here. Taylor has always appeared as a close-knit group that gave the struggling—perhaps even failing— individuals the support and encouragement needed. Even in the many times I have failed at projects, in committees or in the overall code of conduct, I have always felt loved and appreciated by most of the Taylor community.

I don't understand what has happened. I personally feel sorry for the next person who attempts to do this college a service and doesn't receive the "S tudent Friendship Award" for their efforts. To those that worked on the Ilium: I hope we find the road to heaven paved with our good intentions—not

VCR

Dear Editor, I know, this is another silly letter

on the overworked issue of VCRs. I know, many members of the Taylor community (including faculty, ad­ministration, students, probably even the housekeeping and maintenance staff) are tired of the issue and would prefer that it just die. However, there are several reasons why this cannot be allowed.

With the pre-empting of our ability to choose to do right, the Life Together Statement and its writers and enforcers are all taking aparentalroleinour lives. This action puts the students into the role of child, even as we are pressing toward adulthood. Is this right?

Gemerally, in the United States, there is a group of people who are considered to have moral standing; that is, they have legal rights and respon­sibilities. This group is composed of literate, adult, competent human beings (LACHites). These are the people who are allowed to make decisions for themselves about legal, moral and eth­ical issues.

Obviously, some groups aren't included in this category, like children, pets, the mentally handicapped and the elderly. Therefore, it is thereponsibility of the first group to care for their well-being.

I am a senior at this institution. One of my fondest hopes is that I will be equipped to enter the LACHite world. In some ways, Taylor has helped me in this endeavor.

I live in an off-campus apartment, in which I can do drugs or something. I own a car, with which I can kill a person. I can make decisions about my faith in God that I was not equipped to make when I first came here, for which I can possibly go to Hell. These are large, sometimes scary, steps. But I have been allowed to take them.

However, at times I have felt that I have been on a quasi-legal leash. I am "expected"to altendchapel andchurch. I am supposed to keep within a set of standards of good taste that I may or may not agree with (i.e. running tights in the DC). I am forbidden to dance, although some forms are deemed fit (and have you seen the state of aerobic dance today? I've seenless "suggestive" forms of dance in some clubs.)

I understand some of the rules as being in the category of health and safety (i.e. drinking, smoking). And I understand some of them in the category of legal rights and public good (i.e. discrimination laws, vandalism). But some of the rules seem to be based upon economics.

Many people who donate to Christian colleges will not give to schools that allow social dancing. I don't know, maybe the VCR rule falls in this category. I am yet unsure where to place it. I feel that I am being treated as a child on this issue and I don't understand why. I would like to have the opportunity to make a good decision about my choice of videotapes, but that decision has been removed from my hands.

"In terms of specific accom­plishments, I haven't had any huge things that I've gotten done," Richard said.

"There have been projects here and there that I've seen that I've brought up in Senate." One of these projects has been the reappro-priations of TSO allotted funds to TWO.

"They just approved a proposal that will reduce student fees to TSO and increase them to TWO by fifty cents a semester per student. To me, that's something very important and good that we did. They (TWO) are really limited in their budget," he said.

Richard's key campaign promise dealt with working on the passage of the fall break proposal.

"I don't feel that being off-campus has hindered my communication, because I'm on campus most of the time anyway. I'm at the events. I eat at the DC. The thing that I've liked about it is that it has given me a chance to get away and to have some time to regroup and to try and rest some. I think it was the right choice for me to be off-campus this year."

"I would've liked to have seen a fall break. But after seeing the Senate survey to which approx­imately 350 students responded, only 109 had a negative comment on fall break. More were against having it if school would start a week earl ier. I decided that it wasn't something I should be pushing for if students as a whole didn't want it."

One of the other main issues of the campaign in the area of com­munication was whether the student body president ought to live on campus. Richard decided it would be best for him to live off-campus.

Walt Campbell, dean of students, was equally enthused about the spirit of the meeting.

"I have complete confidence in this faculty and their decision­making. The discussion was honest and open and the positions well-stated," he said.

"I voted to uphold the com­mittee decision, but I can certainly see a case built either way. Any policy we make on this issue needs to be written with a strong rationale, with the inconsistencies clarified and the incorporation of academic and educational use," Campbell said.

Stan Burden, professor of chemistry and physics, was a strong advocate for upholding the com­mittee's decision, feeling it was best for the student body.

"It is easy to see both sides of this issue, but I had to vote for the policy to stand," Burden said.

"Sometimes responsible people have to limit individual freedoms for the good of the whole and that is really what we're (the faculty) in-tercstedin—thegoodof the whole," he said.

Taylor Sports

Baseball team looks to regain 20-win season by Steve Mucher sports editor

The Taylor University baseball team, under the direction of coach Larry Winterholter, is halfway through the season and on course to top last year's 15-21 record. The Trojans, who, last spring, fell short of a 20-win season for the first time in six years, look for added mo­mentum down the stretch in hopes of landing a district playoff berth.

But this improved, yet extremely young Trojan squad will have to face stiff competition from many fine teams, including nation­ally- ranked Anderson and Hanover. These schools are also members of the Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference which Taylor joined this year.

This year's roster contains 17 freshmen or sophomores but only two seniors. This fact, though encouraging for the future, worries coach Winterholter.

"We are generally unproven in all aspects of the game. Starting with a predominantly freshman infield has its problems, but we're

improving. Pitching and defense will be tested with the tougher part of the season still to come," he said.

Winterholter maintains that games are won on defense and pitching, but he'd also like to see his team hit over .300. The pitching staff seems to be coming along well even though they lack a bona fide reliever.

Sophomore Jeff Atkinson has proven to be the Trojan's ace, posting a 5-0 mark early. Todd Wagoner and Brad Oliver add an extra punch to the rotation. After a slow start, Don Burden has appar­ently regained his touch from last year.

Defensively, the Trojans have lacked consistency, but have shown marked improvement and potential on occasion. Short stop Dennis Hewitt, catcher Richard Crist, along with cen terfielder Kevin Doss, form the defensive backbone of the club. Many of the players have made position changes to acommodate new personnel.

The Trojan bats have made noise at times but only second baseman Kyle Haas and first

baseman Dave Herschberger have proved to be consistent hitters.

"I'm pleased with the hard work shown so far. The guys get along well. There seems to be good chem­istry among them. We just hope to be included in the district's top eight in order to make the tourney at the season's end."
