New students were kept busy with many fun-filled activities that included a midnight breakfast, scavenger hunt, "new" games. small groups, worship and general academic sessions under the direction of the 13 person Orientation Committee. "Expanding Dimensions" was the theme as over 300 new students expanded their spiritual, intellectual, so­cial, and physical dimensions. Orientation was an ex­hausting, yet exciting time for everyone.

Homecoming '85 Northwestern:

An Instrument Of God

Homecoming festivities began with a hall deco­rating contest. Smells of hot apple cider lingered through the halls of Third East Fern Smith. The sounds, sights. and smells of Christmas won these women first place. In the men's category, Third West Colenbrander was victorious. While lighted up with strings of lights, the floor resembled a miniature football field.

Jay McKinstry and Laree Shiefen were crowned King and Queen in the auditorium before a rally­ing crowd of parents and students. Football cheerleaders enthusiastically led the pep rally seeking to promote school spirit and pride in the Raider fans.

Spirit continued as the gym was filled for the second annual air band contest. Leading the show were the Blues Brothers, a group comprised of administrators. The Dawgs, an energetic group of rockers from Colenbrander. stole the victory from eight other performing groups.

Other highlighted events of the week included a parade in downtown Orange City, an alumni banquet, a victory for the Raiders over Chadron State in football. and a semi-formal dance to the music of Image. Pride of Northwestern came to a full tilt when the band celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary with an evening concert.

Brothers And Sisters Explore College Life

Activity peaked early on Saturday morning as many siblings awoke and began investi­gating the residence halls. Cartoons could be heard throughout the hallways. It was Sibling Weekend.

Students hosted their brothers and sisters. or nieces and nephews by taking them to activities such as meals. movies and a spe­cial Baba Yago theatre production from Emmy Gifford's Children's theatre of Oma­ha.

Activities were geared at giving siblings a feel for college life. Eating in the cafeteria was a challenge for the younger siblings as they attempted to choose from a variety of foods and beverages. Teenage siblings gained further insight into college life as they attended a dance Friday evening sponsored by the NW baseball team.

Mardi Gras Festivities

At Springf est "The Roommate Game," which was patterned after television's "Newly­wed Game." was a new event fea­tured in Springfest '86. Preliminary rounds were held in each residence hall on Tuesday night. Victors of the final round on Friday night were room­mates Kevin Wallace and Kevin Derr of Heemstra Hall.

The Springfest committee - Co-chair­persons, Tracy Anderson and Dan De­Groot, and assistants. Chris Roman and Marc Vanderwilt - decided on a "Mardi Gras" theme, which was car­ried out in the various events of the week. The Fern Smith carnival on Wednesday night and the banquet of southern fried chicken on Friday night added to the festive mood.

The Christian rock band. Silverwind, appeared in concert on Thursday evening, and the musical production, "Working". was performed Friday and Saturday nights.

On Saturday morning, 83 people par­ticipated in the Raider Run, which was sponsored by the Summer Service Pro­ject. Four divisions were represented: Women's 5 kilometers, Men's 5 kilo­meters, Women's 10 kilometers, and Men's 10 kilometers. Taking place Sat­urday afternoon was the annual Raft Race down the Floyd River. The Team consisting of David Bronner, Robert Cunnard, and Tim Tjernagel won first place honors. They enjoyed the unique raft designs and the performance of the participants trying to stay afloat. Concluding the festivities on Saturday night was a semi-formal dance with music by Flat Cat.

A One Man Show

Winter Rain, by Anthony T. Pado­vano, was the title of the student production presented by Franscis­cus van Reenen. The production consisted of six scenes from the life of Thomas Merton who was de­scribed as a man of passion and who did everything whole-hearted­ly. Following his entry into Geth­semane Abbey, he became one of the more influential Christian writers of his time.

''Seper ations'' Seperations, which included two one-act plays entitled " Canadian Gothic" and " Faith Healer", were presented by the Northwestern Theatre Department on February 21 and 22.

"Canadian Gothic" by Joanna M. Glass was di­rected by senior theatre major, Natalie J. Nordby. The play was set in a small Saskatch­e wan town in the 1950's. It was a story of Jack (Mike Solomonson). Natalie (Heather Harrison). Jean (Tracy Anderson), and Ben (Greg Westra), all who underwent a number of tragedies but never discussed their painful memories. In their refusal to discuss their pain and mistakes, each character ruined the chance for honest, loving relationships. Alienation, accommodation. and separation were the deeper truths found in this play.

Karla Bennett, a senior theatre major, directed the second one-act play, "Faith Healer", written by Brian Friel. The characters included Frank Har­dy (Fransiscus van Reenen), Grace Hardy (Karla Bennett), and Teddy (Doug Shepler). The play was about questions and personal exploration of oneself and one's relationships. Frank defined himself through his questions, Grace was defined by Frank. and Teddy, who acted as arbitrator between the two, defined his life by giving meaning to Frank and Grace's existence. The p lay was about healing, but a type which finds meaning in life without asking questions.

''A Doll House''

Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll House", as pre­sented by Northwestern's theatre department and directed by Steve Pederson, is a drama of social change concentrating of women's liberation. Throughout the play one sees the seemingly happy couple struggle through what each one feels their roles and actions should be. Although it is easy to feel that T orvald Helmer is an insensitive sexist ruler, it is important to understand that both Nora and T orvald have their own forms of manipulation.

Nora Helmer begins the play as she comes bustling through the front doors, arms full of brightly colored packages; proof of a busy day of Christmas shopping. After meeting the beautiful. and cheery Nora, one begins to think that the play would be one of romance, a loving home, and happy endings. As the play closed, the thought of a cheery ending was far from sight, though there was a definite feeling of tri­umph.

All Work And No Play

A joint effort between the music and theatre department enabled Northwestern to present the musical production of "Working". The musical, adapted from the book by Studs Terkel, Is a random representation of America's working class.

Terkel traveled around the country for three years talking to a variety of people about their jobs and how they viewed themselves within these positions. Most of the char­acters in the play come from real life situations, the script being comprised of their actual thoughts and attitudes to­ward their jobs. Terkel made a strong effort to keep the lyrics and script as faithful to the real quotes as possible.

No lead role or dramatic climax came in the musical. Every person and every scene was as important as the next. Each one of the eighteen actors had a significant role. It was the actor's responsibility to portray their particular job as realisti­cally as possible. The Northwestern actors showed the audi­ence that indeed no job, or more correctly, worker. is bet­ter or less important than any other.

Choral Readers Spread God's

Love Seeking to witness the presence of God in their lives through the use of theatre, choral interpretation, dance, and music, the six­teen member Choral Reader group, under the direction of Dr. Keith Allen, performed to a variety of audiences.

Chapel Choir Witnesses Through Song

Throughout the year, many hours of dedicated practice were put in by the 49 members of the Chapel Choir. Under the direction of Dr. Charles Canaan, the Chapel Choir members worked together in singing forth praises to God. Through song, the choir witnessed to people both on and off-campus performing in chapel, local churches, and home concerts.

The choir took their praises on the rood on a weekend tour to Pella, Iowa during April 11, 12, and 13. Staying with host families, the choir performed at the Hope Reformed Church at Parkersburg, Iowa. From there, the choir went to Des Moines where they visited and sang at the capital. Upon reaching their Pella destination, the choir sang at the First Reformed Church. On the return trip. the choir again stopped at Des Moines where a concert was given at the Merideth Drive Reformed Church, and dinner was enjoyed with NW alumni before the return to Orange City.

Through the practices. hard work. worshipful singing of praises to God. concerts, • and the fun of the tour, the choir members united in their growth and fellowship with

each other as Christians and in their relationships with God.

Internationals Experience American Society

The International Club is an or­ganization formed for the pur­pose of assisting International Students in the adjustment process upon their entry into American culture. It provides valuable opportunities for them to grow socially. The club encourages Internationals to share their culture with others on campus and in the outlying community. The annual Inter­national Banquet provides one such avenue of sharing our cul­tures with others. International Students hope to enrich the lives of others by unifying the world a little closer to them, and in the process of this cul­tural exchange, they too are enriched.

This year saw an excel­lent selection of movies on campus on weekends. some exciting dances. a couple of coffeehouses, three concerts (Michael Card, Steve Camp and Silver­wind). and special events such as a ski trip to Mankato and one to Steamboat Colorado. a night with Beaver Cleaver with 500 chocolate chip cookies and milk . a swim/pizza party, and a wild "Roommate Game".

Student Ministries Explore The World Exploring the meaning of Christianity and its implications for daily living has been the main goal of those involved In the Stu­dent Ministries Board (SMB). Believing all of life to be sacred, the SMB challenged stu­dents not only to think about their faith but to put it into action.

Comprised of ten subboards, the SMB provided a variety of ministry opportuni­ties. Groups explored such issues as hun­ger and the situation in Nicarauga. Others served by visiting the elderly, planning worship services for chapel. or attending retreats.

The discipleship groups played an active and vital role on campus by challenging students to deepend their commitment to Christ. Students explored what it means to live a Christ-centered life. They worked at building a caring community within a small group and then used that community as a launching pad to bring others to Christ.

Seventy-five energetic work group par­ticipants discovered that the Christian community is not only found at NW. Win­ter and spring break work groups trav­elled to eight different work sites from ur -ban Chicago and New York to rural Ken­tucky and Pennsylvania. Intending to serve others, these students soon realized

how much other Christians have to offer. They returned with a much greater awareness of the richness and diversity of other cultures and Christian lifestyles.

Winter and spring break projects were only a part of the outreach of the SMB. This year 19 students prepared for sum­mer missions with the Summer Service Pro­ject '86. Heeding the call of Christ to go and make disciples of all nations. these students received training in areas of wit­nessing. service. and fund-raising.

Seeing a need to expose all students to cross-cultural evangelism. the World Mis­sions board held its first World Missions Conference January 31 to February 1. Eight delegates representing six different mission agencies were on campus to dis­c uss what its like to be a missionary.

Community Service Members Impact Lives The Community Service Club stands as a group in which volunteers can ac­tively express their willingness to serve. Members visit or help people of the community, striving to base their ac­tions on Christ's example of living a life of a servant. Service Club activities in­cluded an international banquet. pumpkin carrying contests. Walt Dis­ney movies. ice cream sundaes in a rain gutter. and an end of the year banquet.
