Freshman James VanEerdenspent his summer on a farm – onGeorge Orwell’s “Animal Farm,”that is. His essay on Orwell’swork merited a first-place finish inthe First Annual Institute forHumane Studies National HighSchool Essay Contest sponsoredby George Mason University.
Farm work involves both work-ing the land and harvesting;VanEerden did a great deal of dig-ging, but, in his case, he was dig-ging through Orwell’s text fordeeper meaning. He, too, experi-enced a harvest this October – notof vegetables but of his winningessay.
The seeds for VanEerden’s suc-cess were planted many years ear-lier. VanEerden is the oldest of 10children and was raised on a farmamidst 25 acres of forest in north-ern North Carolina.
He started writing at the age ofnine – short stories of villains andsuper-heroes – and, as he grewolder, he “wanted to utilize myenjoyment of writing for a finan-cial purpose.”
Taking the advice of friend andcareer counselor Ben McIndoe,“who has helped me with lifeplanning [and] scholarship search-es for many years,” VanEerdenentered the contest early this sum-mer.
The essay contest, sponsored byGeorge Mason University, was thenewest in a selection of scholar-ship opportunities offered by the
Institute for Humane Studies.Unlike many of the materials andopportunities offered by IHS,which are normally geared towardcollege students, this essay contestwas for high school seniors only.
The essay was to be based onGeorge Orwell’s classic work“Animal Farm.” Contestantsanswered the questions “Could theanimals’ revolution have succeed-ed? Why or why not?”
Van Eerden’s essay examinedthe attempted utopia of “AnimalFarm” in light of the concept ofHumanity 2.0; this conceptinvolves the belief that, much likeplants, animals and humans gothrough different phases ofgrowth. Proponents of this con-cept foresee a utopian future inwhich humanity will “transcend”the physical body, and all differ-ences will melt away to create astate of perfection.
“The same underlying presuppo-sition exists in “Animal Farm,”and it is the basis for the farm’sfailure” VanEerden said.
His essay contends that the ani-mals’ revolution could not havesucceeded. He lays out the princi-ples at the heart of the farm ani-mals’ revolt against the humanfarmer. One principle is that theanimals began with a belief thatall of them were “brothers,”despite their differences. Thisbelief was set aside as the animalsacknowledged the superior natureof the pigs in “the work of teach-ing and organizing the others.”The community’s practical needsled to the quick abandonment of
the notion of equality. Another principle was that the
animals tried to establish a seven-law legal system. As time wenton, the laws changed to such an
extent that the only constant oftheir legal system was that it was“essentially ruled by one lawalone: There is no law,”VanEerden said in his essay.
The essay lays out further argu-ments for VanEerden’s position.Although his arguments comefrom several sources, includingScripture, VanEerden’s intent wasto “convey a moral message to asecular university in a compellingway without being abrasive andoverbearing.”
In October, the judges notifiedVanEerden that he won first placein the contest and would receive a$1,500 scholarship.
“In addition, I received scholar-ship offers for summer programsat [George Mason] University andoffers for paid internships over thesummer,” he said.
The IHS contest is notVanEerden’s first brush withrecognition. He recently receivedthe Congressional Award GoldMedal in Washington, D.C. Hehas been published in severalnewspapers and was a runner-upin the Rockingham CommunityCollege Foundation EssayContest. He and his large familywere also featured on a reality TVshow in Colorado several yearsago.
Just as farmers in the area havegathered in their harvest and aremaking their preparations for thenext year, VanEerden has collect-ed his harvest and is makingpreparations for his future success.He has joined both the Speech andDebate Team and the Law Societyhere at the College and is accli-mating himself to an environmentapart from the farm that nourishedhis growth into an award-winningyoung writer.

Drefsalso encouraged students to include asmall note and a picture to add a morepersonal touch. Drefs said a Grove Citystudent got a note back from the childwho received her box and was especiallyencouraged.
Completed boxes were dropped off inHarbison Chapel all this week. Fromthere Drefs and Knox will take theboxes to a church in New Wilmington,where Samaritan’s Purse will pick themup.
Drefs said the most amazing part ofthis process for her so far has been thegreat campus-wide response. She isthrilled with how many organizations oncampus want to get involved withOperation Christmas Child, and shehopes that will help to reach the goalthis year. Knox said it’s the end resultthat motivates him. Operation Christmas
Child reaches children who would other-wise not get anything for Christmas, andthat brings added joy to the Christmasseason.
From shoebox to treasure chest,Operation Christmas Child creates aneasy way to reach needy children aroundthe world. Not only will these childrenreceive a special Christmas present, theyget to experience the best Christmas giftof all – the love of Christ.

Alumni, professor recieve fundingDeep Springs International, a charitable
water-purification project envisioned andrealized by four Grove City College alumniand advised by one professor, has beenawarded funding through the 2008 TempletonFreedom Awards program.
A program of the Atlas Economic ResearchFoundation, the 16 recipients from four conti-nents were chosen from more than 70 appli-cations in 58 countries. Two $10,000 awardsare given in each of eight categories, one toan established institute and one to an emerg-ing institute.
Deep Springs was the emerging institutewinner in the “Social Entrepreneurship” cate-gory. According to Atlas, “DSI’s unique pro-gram to increase the availability of safe waterin Haiti facilitates the development of locallyowned businesses that supply water treatmentproducts at prices that rural Haitians canafford.”
Deep Springs began in 2006 as the brain-child of Dr. Timothy Mech, professor of busi-ness and entrepreneurship and a researcher inmethods to fight world poverty. As a studentin 2006, Ruth (Entwistle ’07) Dykstraresearched water purification while interningwith Hope for the Children of Haiti. Shequickly realized the scope of the task and
relied on other students to help. It became thewinner in the non-profit category at the 2006Grove City College Business PlanCompetition. From there, Dykstra and Mech,along with Michael Ritter ’06, Katie Garland’06 and James Palmer ’07, grew the projectinto a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
The organization focuses on creating watertreatment businesses by building partnershipsbetween budding young entrepreneurs,schools, non-profits and financial institutionsin Haiti. The hope is to broaden to othercountries. But clean water is not where the project ends.Deep Springs hopes that school attendancewill be boosted, students will be educatedabout good hygiene and unemployment willbe combated.
Named for the late investor and philan-thropist, Sir John Templeton, the awards pro-gram was established in 2003 to recognizethe contributions of independent think tanksto the understanding of freedom. Atlas willhost the Templeton Freedom Awards confer-ence to feature the winners on Nov. 13 inWashington, D.C. The Atlas EconomicResearch Foundation has been supportingprojects that promote the free society formore than 25 years.
When students arrived at thehotel last Thursday night, gradu-ate programs and differentphysics-related organizationswere assembled in the ballroom,giving students the ability toperuse the various postgraduatechoices for those with degrees inphysics. Many booths gave outsmall tokens, some as minor aspens or bookmarks, but othersgave away or displayed such fas-cinations as portable LED bulbsand a “magic” wand that couldlevitate pieces of foil.
“Physicists love toys,” Marschsaid.
The conference officially beganThursday night with the first ofseven plenary lectures. Jill Tarter,director of the Center for theSearch for Extra TerrestrialIntelligence Research at the SETIInstitute, spoke about her reasonsfor holding out hope that there isanother inhabitable planet in theuniverse. Tarter’s list of factualinaccuracies in the movie“Contact,” in which the mainheroine was based on Tarter, wasmet especially with enthusiasticlaughter.
Early Friday morning confer-ence members boarded schoolbuses which carried them fromthe hotel to Fermilab, a beautifulinstitution situated on groundslarge enough to incorporate not
only Star-Wars-like office facili-ties, quaint prairie-style employeehousing and range buffalo butalso the impressive Tevatron, aparticle collider situated 30 feetbelow earth’s surface with a cir-cumference of four miles.
Half the attendees took advan-tage of a breakfast with notablenames in science. Many GroveCity students found themselves ata table with the son of a Nobelprize winner, who passed themedal around the table.
From breakfast until late after-noon, participants attended aplethora of plenary lectures and
workshops. Well-credentialedspeakers presented on topicsranging from governmental scien-tific policy to scientific curricula.SPS leadership encouraged small-group discussions and specificallycarved out time for these aftercertain lectures.
When not in lectures, studentswere allowed to take tours of thedifferent facilities at Fermilab.
“My favorite thing aboutFermilab was the tours – theywere really awesome. Especiallyseeing the CDF,” freshmanMelody Carlson said. “Myfavorite lecture was where the
Deputy Director Young-Kee Kimtalked. Mainly because I felt likeit had the most physics.”
Fermilab allowed tours thatcatered to a wide range of inter-ests. Some attendees visited theCollider Detector, a detectorwhich examines proton and anti-proton collisions in an effort todiscover new high-energy parti-cles; others saw the grid comput-ing center, which houses bothcomputers and robots for variouslarge projects at both Fermilaband CERN, in France. Somestopped at the Main InjectorNeutrino Oscillation Search, one
end of an interstate neutrinoresearch project; others visited theCenter for Particle Astrophysics.
After the tours, participantswandered through the atrium,viewing the various researchposters, many of which were cre-ated by Grove City College stu-dents.
On Saturday the conferencecontinued with lectures and work-shops including the plenary lec-ture, “How to Watch Atoms Sing,Electrons Hop and MoleculesDance: Using Fast Light Pulses toObserve and Control Nature,”which was overwhelmingly afavorite.
A small contingent of studentscarved time out of their busyschedule to make a quick trip toChicago. Unfortunately theymissed a few lectures, but theyreturned for a banquet onSaturday night.
At the banquet in the hotel ball-room, awards were granted for artentries in the art competition.Fermilab houses its own artgallery and takes great pride incelebrating the interactionbetween art and science. BothMarsch and senior Cara Taberwon awards in different cate-gories for their entries.
Dr. Leon Lederman, a formerdirector of Fermilab, gave the cul-manative plenary lecture, showingthat physics people can have asense of humor when he said thathe was old enough “to rememberwhen the Dead Sea was justsick.”

Dear Students: This is theeighth of our articles from theCollege’s International StudyCenter in Nantes, France. Eachweek we will print another let-ter from the Grovers abroad. Bonjour, Grove City!
I am highly certain that eacharticle I write starts with close tothe same thing: “This adventurewas the best of the whole semes-ter.” I will not disappoint you,my vast fan base; fall break wasmy favorite experience thus far. Ideparted Nantes on Tuesdayafternoon, ready to start my firstsolo journey and venture all theway to: Germany. I was able tonavigate the Paris tram system toswitch train stations, all whilejuggling three bags – I mean,who packs light? From Paris Imade it on to Strasbourg. Herewas the initial plan: my train gotin at 20h (8 p.m.), and I was justgoing to sit in the train stationuntil my next one left at 5h(5a.m.). Problem: the train stationcloses at 0h (midnight). I wasthen kicked out onto the streetlike a vagabond. Thankfully, Iwas able to hail a cab and get a
hostel; which, of course, waslocated in the seediest part oftown possible.
Once arriving in Germany, landof the Schnitzel, Bier and BMW,I stayed with an American familythat lives right off the militarybase Ramstein. It was so nice tostay with a family. As a bonus Igot to see real football – hooray
for military TV stations. We were able to take two day
trips. Mrs. Hanson, 10 year-oldDaniel and I traveled toHeidelberg where the oldest jaw-bone was found in all of Europeback in 1907. In Heidelberg, wesaw the usual churches, a prisonand a kindergarten. The highlightof the trip was when we made the
walk up a 12 percent incline tothe castle on the hill. The viewwas breathtaking. Our exploringof the castle was cut short byhunger pains, which were thenfilled with Pommes Frits,Spaghetti Eis and the Heidelbergginger snap.
The other day trip we took,this time with Mr. Hanson as
well, was to Trier, the oldestGerman City, which dated backto 16 B.C. Trier still has part ofits old Roman Aqueduct stand-ing. We were able to tour it andget a marvelous view of the city.When we were on the fourthlevel of the building we ran intoa tour group – complete with aman dressed in Roman guardgear. My (very) broken Germanlet me understand some of thehistory of the building. He saidthat official marriages weredone inside the aqueduct andafterwards the groom would cutoff the left hand of the bride. Orthat only one emperor was everto actually visit the city. Like Isaid, my German isn’t thatgood.
I spent the remainder of mytrip relaxing and just hanging outwith the family. After being in allof these great and exotic citiesand on all these grand adven-tures, it was truly a blessing tospend some time in the countryand absorb the local flavor – allwhile speaking English and play-ing Wii.
Au revoir,Elizabeth Poston

A vision is becoming a realityfor a group of Grove CityCollege students who pray for“streams of justice” to cover theworld’s brokenness. Streams ofJustice, an on-campus network-ing group, aims to increaseawareness of social justice issues– Christian persecution, sex traf-ficking, poverty and hunger –and provide opportunities to putthat knowledge and faith intoaction.
Next week, Streams of Justicewill partner with Voice of theMartyrs to give students opportu-nities to learn from a guestspeaker about the persecutedchurch and then to follow upwith the Action Pack program 7p.m., on Monday. Darcie Gill ofVoice of the Martyrs will presentan alternative chapel in StichtLecture Hall. Gill will shareexperiences from her work withpersecuted Christians around theworld.
Senior Sarah Easton, a Streamsof Justice founder, said that Gillbrings extraordinary stories fromher work in the field.
“She’s been all over the world,so it should be really interesting,”Easton said.
On Tuesday, Gill will alsospeak in chapel.
When she heard Gill speak at aVoice of the Martyrs conference,Easton said, “It was so ingrainedin [Gill] that these are truly ourbrothers and sisters” who are suf-fering in other parts of the world.
Easton was struck by the reality
of “how connected we are” andknows that persecuted Christiansare “so encouraged thatChristians in America haven’tforgotten about them.”
Sophomore Lisa Herman said,“I don’t think we realize the suf-fering and abuse of so many ofour brothers and sisters in Christ,and Darcie Gill of Voice of theMartyrs can hopefully representthe importance of prayer andaction.”
Sophomore Kip Wharton hopesGill’s message will bring“increased response to global jus-tice issues and a more realisticview of these issues.”
“The first big hurdle,” Eastonsaid, “is increasing awareness.”
Then, awareness can fuelaction. Streams of Justice willfollow up Gill’s presentation witha hands-on project for students tosupport the persecuted church.
The Voice of the MartyrsAction Pack program will enablestudents to aid persecutedChristians in Pakistan, where theneed is currently the greatest.Groups or individuals can pur-chase an Action Pack for $20 andfill the pack with basic necessi-ties to be sent to a persecutedPakistani Christian family. Voiceof the Martyrs also includes with
each pack a Bible storybook usedfor teaching and evangelism pur-poses. Purchasing a pack coversthe bag, storybook, domestic andinternational shipping. During allnext week, Streams of Justicewill take orders for Action Packsin the Breen Student Union from8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Easton described the ActionPacks as an “order now, do later”system; while orders will beplaced next week, the packs willbe distributed, filled and shippedabroad early next semester.
Herman sees the Action Packprogram as “a tangible means ofactually doing something for our
brothers and sisters overseas.”Yet Herman also recognizes
“that our most powerful tool isprayer. If only one result arisesfrom this engagement, then Ihope it is a commitment to prayerfor the persecuted church.”
Working with Voice of theMartyrs fulfills Streams ofJustice’s goal, as Wharton said, to“work with existing groups togive them an outlet for their loveand care.”
“When Jesus calls us to loveothers,” Wharton said, “it is a callto justice.”
Whether bringing speakers tocampus or organizing projectslike Action Packs, Easton saidshe has learned through Streamsof Justice “how utterly dependentI have to be on God to make surethat the goal, the motives arecompletely theocentric.”
Easton also emphasized “main-taining the integrity of the visionthrough prayer, being strength-ened by His Spirit and not tryingto do it on my own.”
Herman said, “The most signif-icant thing God has taught methrough working with Streams ofJustice is that He is bigger andmightier than every injustice andabuse we may suffer in this life.”
Streams of Justice invites stu-dents to gather in HarbisonChapel at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays topray for issues of social justice.
The most urgent request of per-secuted brothers and sistersabroad is simply: “Pray for us.”The Action Pack ministry offers atangible means of encouragingpersecuted Christians that theyare not forgotten.
Workers in the field will distribute the Action Packs made on Campus to persecuted Pakistanis.

Coulter contributes to Catholic commentaryGrove City College Professor
of Political Science andHumanities Dr. Michael Coulter’91 has presented research at aconference and written a chapterfor a commentary on Catholicsocial doctrine.
This summer, Coulter present-ed a paper in Boston at theAmerican Political ScienceAssociation’s annual meeting.Titled “The Legalization ofHome Schooling,” Coulter“examined the changing legaland regulatory environment ofhome schooling from 1970 tothe present as well as the possi-ble causes of those legal
changes.”Coulter said the paper asked
“what led to the change in thelegal environment of homeschooling.” In 1970, homeschooling was essentially illegaland largely unheard of, onlypracticed by a few and withoutlegal protection. By 1995, homeschooling was “essentially legaleverywhere,” due in part to legaladvocacy and the developmentof an advocacy coalition.
In Pennsylvania, for example,Coulter said there was a legalchallenge to home schooling dueto certain legal requirements inPennsylvania law. These regula-
tions were struck down by a fed-eral court in Pittsburgh afterbeing challenged by the homeschool advocacy coalition forbeing too vague. The state thenproduced a law in 1988 thatsolidified the legality of homeschooling. The law was influ-enced by lobbying efforts ofhome school advocates. Coultersaid the paper might be the basisfor a future book.
Coulter also recently wrote achapter titled “Serving thePerson through the PoliticalCommunity” for “CatholicSocial Thought: AmericanReflections on the Compendium”
(Lexington Books) edited by D.Paul Sullins and Anthony Blasi,professors of sociology at theCatholic University of Americaand Tennessee State University,respectively.
The chapter was originallydelivered as part of a panel dis-cussion at the 2006 meeting ofthe Society of Catholic SocialScientists. Coulter revised thepaper in early 2008, and thebook was published inSeptember.
Coulter joined the Grove CityCollege faculty in 1995 afterhaving earned his master’s andPh.D. at University of Dallas.

Google offers services to the government Rwanda expels ambassadorGoogle has decided to partner with the United States government to track influenza outbreaks in
America.“‘Flu Trends’ uses search terms that people put into the web giant to figure out where influenza is heat-
ing up and will notify the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in real time,” drudgereport.comreported Tuesday.
Google plans to single out search terms people put into the search bar in order to determine whereinfluenza is most prevalent. Drudgereport.com reported that Google would keep user information confi-dential and that no one’s personal identification or information would be used or passed on to the govern-ment.
“Google Flu Trends can never be used to identify individual users because we rely on anonymized,aggregated counts of how often search queries occur each week,” Google told Drudgereport.com.
A group of engineers has made it possible for Google’s search engine to simply keep a running tally, byarea, of words related to the flu, “including thermometer, flu symptoms, muscle aches, chest congestionand others,” drudgereport.com reported.
“One thing we found last year when we validated this model is it tended to predict surveillance data,”said Dr. Lyn Finelli, the chief of influenza surveillance at CDC. “The data are really, really timely. Theywere able to tell us on a day-to-day basis the relative direction of flu activity for a given area. They wereabout a week ahead of us. They could be used … as early warning signal for flu activity.”
This ability explores a new way of using the Internet.“I think we are just scratching the surface of what’s possible with collective intelligence,” Dr. Thomas
Malone, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said.

The Rwandan government has expelled the German ambassadorand recalled its own ambassador to Germany due to a dispute over adetained presidential aide, Miss Rose Kabuye.
“Foreign Minister Rosemary Museminali said the German envoywould not be welcome until the arrest of protocol chief Rose Kabuyewas resolved,” Reuters.com reported. “Kabuye was detained inFrankfurt on Sunday in connection with a killing that triggered the1994 genocide.”
Kabuye is one of nineRwandan officials soughtfor the attack againstPresident JuvenalHabyarimana’s airplane.
“His murder is widelyseen as the spark that ledto the deaths of some800,000 people inRwanda,” BBC.comreported.

Stewart agreed, saying, “I loveabsolutely everything about [Orchesis]! Ilove the friendships I have made, I lovesharing the gift of dance with thosearound me and I love that I am able touse dance as a means to glorify God.”
There will be approximately 20 newOrchesis members on stage this weekend.
Dancers are attracted to Orchesis for avariety of reasons, most notably because
their friends are involved or because theyhave had danced throughout high schooland are excited to continue through thisvenue.
Others like junior Shi Chen joinedbecause past shows “inspired me to wantto dance!”
All Orchesis members have one goal incommon
“We are hoping to share the gift ofdance that the Lord has given to each [of]us with all of the amazing audience mem-bers that come to support us in the show,”Dawson said. “We want to put on the bestpossible show and provide some greatentertainment for our audiences.”

Cavicchi enjoys analysis and the outdoorsBy Arielle BatemanCollegian Life Co-Editor
“We don’t need engineers toplug numbers into formulas,” Dr.Thomas Cavicchi said, professorof electrical engineering. “Weneed engineers to develop for-mulas in creative ways.”
Perhaps it is Cavicchi’sdemand for creative thinking thatmakes his control systems andcommunication systems classeschallenging for senior electricalengineers. He drives his studentstoward excellence, encouragingthem to apply their knowledgeinstead of memorizing informa-tion for an exam.
Accordingly, Cavicchi’s officewall bears a handwritten slogan:“Analyze, don’t memorize.”Cavicchi asks his students,“Does this formula really applyin this situation? Try to reallyunderstand whatever it is you’redoing.”
Cavicchi has been a proponentof this practical sort of educationfrom an early age. Growing up ina suburb near Cleveland, Ohio,he forayed into the mechanicalrealm by dissecting the family’selectronics and appliances.
“I enjoyed taking things apart:the TVs, the tape recorders andthe toasters,” Cavicchi said.
Along with his brother,Cavicchi conducted electronicexperiments with a Knight kitand later a Lafayette150-in-one.The kits enabled the boys toexplore the world of AM radios:relay circuits; alarms and con-ductivity testing; and more.
The experiments evidentlyhelped cultivate a family passionfor science: Cavicchi’s brothercurrently works as a physicistand his sister works as an artistas well as a researcher in physicsand the history of science.
Cavicchi spent his first semes-ter of college at CornellUniversity, then transferred toMassachusetts Institute of
Technology to complete hisundergraduate degree. He wentto the University of Illinois inChampagne for his master’sdegree and grew through hisexposure to different cultures.
“So many of the grad studentswere from different countries,”Cavicchi said. He enjoyed partic-ipating in an international stu-dents’ Bible study and deepeninghis faith during his years as astudent there.
After receiving his doctoratefrom the University of Illinois,Cavicchi taught graduate stu-dents at the University of Akron.He learned about an opening inGrove City College’s engineer-ing department and chose toapply.
“I was attracted to theChristian orientation of theCollege and its mission to pro-vide high-quality academics in aChristian environment,” he said.
“I think it’s exciting when aperson with great faith also hasgreat knowledge,” Cavicchi said.
So he drives his students towardexcellence.
Though Cavicchi could takepride in his 15 years of teachingexperience, he approaches hisdiscipline with humility.
“One thing that I learned atMIT was how little I know inrelation to the experts in myfield, which is humbling,” hesaid. Likewise, Cavicchi pusheshis students to learn more,building up their base of knowl-edge.
“I try to help them in thedevelopment of their discipline:perseverance, work ethic, knowl-edge, academic integrity.” If hisstudents experience downsizingin the workplace, such skillsmight preserve their jobs,Cavicchi said.
Overall, he appreciates theenvironment in Hoyt Hall. Hesaid, “There’s a lot going on;there’s a lot of responsibility. Icertainly have enjoyed workingwith people in my department.”
But his deepest love lies out-side the classroom.
“I am very fortunate to livewith the love of my life,Stephanie,” he said. “We haveour unique personalities … cou-pled with our humor andChristian faith, [which] brings usa lot of joy.”
After meeting on the Internet,they wrote letters as pen pals, hesaid. “As we corresponded, wegot to know each other better.We realized that we shared manyof the [same interests].”
One of the couple’s sharedpassions is for the outdoors. Theweek of their marriage, theyhiked Mt. Washington in NewHampshire. In WesternPennsylvania, the couple enjoysexploring the Ohio Pile (located
far south of Pittsburgh), CookForest and McConnell’s Mill.
“The hiking is a wonderfulthing because it brings us closeto God’s creation,” Cavicchisaid. “When you have a chanceto go into nature, you get … alittle peace from the hecticworld.”
In addition to hiking, he savorsoutdoor adventures like white-water rafting in Maine, campingand distance running.
“Over the years, my brotherand I have run in some races andsometimes Stephanie too,”Cavicchi said.
His pleasure in physical activi-ty serves a dual purpose some-times, as Cavicchi enjoys bikingto work. He said, “I like to thinkit’s something to do for the envi-ronment.”
When time permits, he pursuesadditional interests at home,including art, history and read-ing. Also, he said, “I’m a truemusic lover.”
Though he no longer disassem-bles toasters, Cavicchi stillenjoys learning how deviceswork. But he said, “These daysit’s becoming harder because alot more things are integratednow…information [is] stored ona chip. It’s a different worldthere now on those terms.”
Cavicchi’s life exemplifies hiscreative approach to engineering:you can’t just plug him into astereotypical formula. In fact, heplaces little value on the use ofgeneralizations to define an indi-vidual.
“I don’t like the stereotypestoo much,” Cavicchi said. “Eachperson is unique. I think that weshould try to enjoy theperson...whatever eccentricities,whatever they have to offer.”

This past summer, senior SarahSims went to China and metchallenges that she had neverexpected.
From June 16 to Aug. 12, sheworked in Bejing throughInternational Business asMissions Internship (IBAMI).This organization gives youngpeople the chance to share theirfaith by networking withChristian Chinese professionals.
Sims and one other IBAMIteam member worked forCanmay International, a govern-ment investment and immigrationservices company. She worked40 hours per week proofreadinglegal documents that had beentranslated into English and talk-ing to clients interested in goingto the United States. Her maingoal, however, was to befriendand share the gospel with hercoworkers.
Sims became good friends withan English-speaking colleaguenamed Yao Nan, with whom shespent her lunch breaks every day.
“God provided me with afriend at work,” Sims said. “Hegave me the opportunity toexplicitly share my faith with her,and I can only pray that the seedthat was planted will one dayresult in her salvation.”
Sims and three other femaleinterns lived with a Christian host
family that ran a house church.Hosting the women put the fami-ly members at higher risk. Thepolice came to the apartmenttwice during their stay, but theinterns were elsewhere when theyentered.
The IBAMI team did not attendtheir host families’ housechurches so that they would notfurther endanger the family mem-bers. Instead, the group wor-shipped at a government-approved church for expatriates.
In mid-July, the IBAMI grouptraveled to southern China wherethey spent a week teaching crafts,English, music and games to thechildren at Sun VillageOrphanage in Jiang Xi. The liv-ing conditions were the worstSims had ever experienced.
“We were dripping with sweatjust sitting still. My legs wereswollen from so many mosquitobites, and we had to shower withbuckets,” she said.
She could not wait to return toBeijing at the end of the week.When the train ride back toBeijing was postponed a coupleof days, Sims was upset.
“After throwing myself a pityparty, I prayed that night. I toldGod I could not get through theweek without Him because I didnot want to be there. For the restof the week He gave me thestrength and joy to teach thekids,” she said.
Because China restrictsChristianity, the IBAMI team wasnot allowed to teach the Bible tothe children. When the team met
for prayer and Bible study, how-ever, the children surroundedthem out of curiosity.
They wanted to know why thegroup worshipped, and theyasked questions like, “How do Ipray?”
Unable to communicatebecause of the language barrier,Sims committed to praying forthe orphans. One little boy in par-ticular grabbed her heart and herprayers. At the end of the week,he and 12 others accepted Christ.
“It is neat to know that Godanswers prayer in unique ways,”Sims said.
Her experience taught her moreabout missions and faith.
“I went to China thinking, ‘Iam really good at missions,’because of my previous trips to
the Ukraine, South Africa and theDominican Republic,” Sims said.“I expected to be effective andchange lives but a lot of times Icouldn’t find joy in my circum-stances. My joy had to comefrom God because I couldn’tdraw it out on my own.”
“Being in China made me real-ize how lost I am without Christand that He is the one whochanges lives,” she said.
Sims also acknowledged theunpleasantness as well as thebeauty involved in godly trans-formation.
She said, “Being stretched byGod is not easy or fun, whether itis here at Grove City or in China.However, the rewards of seeingyour life and those of otherschanged make it all worth it.”

COMMUNITY LIVING PRIVILEGE: PART V
By Carl LaamanenCollegian Writer
The Adelphikos fraternity was founded in 1913 from two rival debate groupsthat wanted to get rid of animosity between the groups. The group’s main focuswhen founded was Christian brotherhood, and after going through some roughtimes in the 80’s and 90’s, the group is now refocused on Christ.
The Adels are a very diverse group with brothers involved in a wide range ofmajors and activities on campus. “We get many different people because followingChrist is our main goal,” said junior Mark Hottel, the chaplain of the fraternity.
Every year the fraternity holds a three-on-three basketball tournament whichbenefits the Sharon Regional Cancer Society. They give the money to the centerdirectly to maximize its impact. Recently, the group has also gone to Butler andserved in a local soup kitchen and every year help a local Baptist camp get readyfor campers by helping them clean the campground.
Hottel enjoys seeing the new actives begin to see the importance of serving dur-ing their time in the fraternity. “The change over the four years is remarkable inspiritual growth and maturity,” he said.
The Adels are also very committed to the campus, and many are involved inleadership positions. Because of their diversity they are able to reach out to manydifferent parts of campus. Group president senior Brady Phipps said of the frater-nity’s diversity, “It is a better picture of the body [of Christ]. We can learn a lotfrom each other.”

The Omicron Xi fraternity was founded in 1947 by veterans of World War II whofought in Okinawa, Japan and wanted the fraternity’s name to reflect their service.Senior Matt Muetzel, chaplain of the fraternity, describes the fraternity’s purposeas: “brothers living in community in order to encourage and serve each other andothers.”
The Okies strive to serve the campus and community in a number of ways. Lastsemester, the fraternity went to East Liberty, a suburb of Pittsburgh, twice andworked with Open Hand ministry to help rebuild a home for a family in need. Oneof those times they worked with the Beta Sigma fraternity, and the Okies plan to goagain this semester to work with Open Hand. The Okies will also be holding thesecond annual Party That Saved Christmas with the Epsilon Pi fraternity in earlyDecember to raise money for Red Box mission trips.
Muetzel recalls a moment in East Liberty when the future owner of the homestopped by, brought lunch and ate with the group. “I think that’s a neat moment,because that’s when our vision of how to live well intersected and is ultimately avision of the Kingdom.”
Senior Tim Krahe, president of the fraternity, said this of the fraternity’s impactin his life: “It’s about the relationships with each other, being a part of the campus,having traditions as a brotherhood and being able to do all of that [while] beingChristians [and] living and acting in accordance with God’s desires.”

Omicron XiBy Arielle BatemanCollegian Life Editor
Few things provoke student ire like parkingtickets. Reception of the ticket often promptsgrumbling against the offending office,Campus Safety. But many students do notknow the people in uniform or understandtheir mission.
“Our primary job is to protect people andpreserve the campus as best we can,” saidSeth Van Til, director of Campus Safety. VanTil has worked there for 15 years, continuinga tradition started by his parents who previ-ously taught at Grove City College.
Campus Safety’s mission to protect theCollege requires continual watchfulness. Inaddition to officers who patrol the grounds,people in the office watch the fire alarms andthe closed circuit video and answer emer-gency calls.
Technological developments aided CampusSafety in its task.
“Card access has been a wonderfulimprovement in the last several years,” VanTil said. Additionally, the office appreciatesthe fire alarm system, which can immediatelynotify the office whenever an alarm is trig-gered. Fifteen years ago, the office had to relyon people calling in order to know when analarm had sounded.
Though card access doors and a smart firealarm system make his job easier, Van Tilsaid, “There is always something more thatwe can or might like to do. But we have tobalance the potential benefits against having afree and open environment and keeping ourcosts down.”
Their commitment to student safety extendsto less popular tasks, like ending Slip ’n’Slides on the lawn or stopping students frompacking an elevator with 15 people. Van Tilsaid, “It’s no fun to have to stop somebody’senjoyment.” But he added, “Sometimes whatmay seem to be fun for a few can have moreserious results like injuries, property damageor disruption of the campus.”
Likewise, Campus Safety personnel under-stand the students’ complaints about parkingtickets. Assistant Director of Campus SafetyKent McFadden calls the tickets “a necessaryevil.”
Van Til agrees: “That is the least enjoyablepart of the job. If we don’t enforce it, wewould have real problems getting all aroundcampus.”
And when responding to emergencies like afire alarm call or a medical call, the officersneed to move swiftly. Van Til said that theycan reach anywhere on campus between oneand three minutes.
Students sometimes complain that CampusSafety vehicles drive too quickly. In responseto this issue, Van Til said that he expects theirofficers to set the example in driving.
“Our officers are expected to operate in asafe manner all the time even when respond-ing to an emergency. That may occasionallyinvolve exceeding the speed limit,” he said.“But I would certainly have a concern if anofficer was driving too fast to be safe.”
Though they frequently deal with com-plaints and minor disciplinary issues, theoffice values the interaction with students. Ifstudents have a concern or problem,McFadden encourages them to ask questions.
“We enjoy … the opportunity to explain,”he said. “We try to look at things from thestudents’ perspective,” Van Til added. “Wegive them either an explanation or a resolu-tion.”
In the summer, the officers miss having thestudents around for conversation. McFaddensaid, “The officers like it when students arehere.”
In particular, the staff looks forward toevents like Homecoming weekend, wherethey can interact with students from pastyears. “Sometimes, somebody whom youhaven’t seen in six or eight years … comesup and introduces you to their wife and chil-dren,” McFadden said.
In addition to emergency calls, the officereceives a number of phone calls about suspi-cious persons.
“[Students] seem to know the community,”McFadden said. “Sometimes someone who isnot a student here sticks out.”
The level of campus awareness and person-al responsibility helps the College. Van Tilsaid, “We benefit from having a concernedcommunity where people are really lookingout for others.”
Though the job may not involve manymoments of high intensity, both McFaddenand Van Til can remember humorous inci-dents from the past. The office has receivedmany phone calls about animal problems,such as squirrels in the radiators. Also,McFadden said, “We’ve got guys deathlyafraid of bats.”
Van Til remembers when a doe jumpedthrough a window in the old CalderwoodSchool, which stood where the Hall of Artsand Letter stands today.
“She … thought that the glass was a wayout,” Van Til said. “That took a little to lassothe deer and get her out of the building.”
When serious incidents occur, Van Til said,“It’s hard not to take it a little personally.”
“Generally any time we have an incident,we review the incident and see where wemight improve,” he said. In the case of themugging this fall as well as two years ago,Campus Safety extended patrol hours past 4a.m. and evaluated places that could benefitfrom improved lighting or trimmed brush.
Because of the low level of crime in thearea, the Campus Safety staff can build rela-tionships with the students and offer self-defense classes.
Van Til said, “Each and every one of us arehere to help and serve the campus communi-ty. We are not in an environment when ourjob is purely enforcement...and we enjoythat.”
Bernard Smith, patrol communications offi-cer, can testify to the uniqueness of the col-lege environment. His patrolling position sup-plements his full-time position as a stateparole agent in Mercer County, where hedeals with criminal behavior, substanceabuse, and mental health issues.
“This is a completely different caliber ofpeople,” Smith said. “It’s very therapeutic forme.”
“If...we have any problems, most studentsare very cooperative and contrite. They ownup to their actions,” Smith said. “That’s whatthe college is all about: teaching people toown up to their mistakes and become bettercitizens, better people.”
Like Van Til and McFadden, he values theopportunities to interact with faculty, staff andespecially students.
“They are very appreciative and they tell usquite often – even some of the things theymight not agree with right away,” Smith said.
In light of his parole job, Smith enjoys see-ing that people are capable of different realmsof behavior.
“It’s kind of refreshing,” he said.
Campus Safety here tohelp, serve community
Pan SophicBy Carl LaamanenCollegian Writer
The Pan Sophic fraternity was founded off campus in 1911 by a philosophy class,and was officially recognized by the college in 1913, making them one of the old-est groups on campus. Senior Mark Phillips, president of the Pans, stressed theimportance of keeping the fraternity’s traditions and staying in touch with thealumni.
The fraternity holds a banquet every fall and a picnic every spring for the alumniand also uses their website – www.pansophic fraternity.com – to keep in touch withthe alumni. “Being in good contact with alumni differentiates us from other groupson campus,” Phillips said.
The Pans founded Relay for Life on campus five years ago and every year halfthe committee is from the fraternity. They also hold a teeter-totter-athon with theZetas every year in front of Calderwood rock and last year the proceeds went to theAmerican Cancer Society. The Pans are also planning a dance with the SigmaTheta Chi sorority later this year to serve as both a fundraiser and a chance forprospective members to come and spend time with the two groups.
The Pans strive to stay true to the values of brotherhood, love and loyalty they’veheld since 1911. “We’re a very close knit group,” said Phillips. He also added thatthe fraternity stresses keeping the right priorities: “God, family and fraternity areour priorities and it’s important to keep it like that.”
This is the fifth in a series on the Grove City College Community LivingPrivilege. Through the end of the semester, Collegian writer Carl Laamanen willprofile groups on their role in the community.

The ceiling fans churn over-head, the wood floor creaksbeneath. Wine bottles of allcolors line the counter. Café DuJour’s walls – the burnt orangeinside and the ivy-choked brickaround the garden – enclose anauthentic European space thatfeels more like Paris’ LatinQuarter than Pittsburgh’s his-toric South Side.
Paul Krawiec has combinedhis vast knowledge ofCalifornian and European cui-sine to craft a truly eclecticmenu for his Café Du Jour(1107 East Carson Street), ofwhich he has been the propri-etor and head chef for sixyears.
The carte du jour is pepperedwith foods that are clearly sta-ples from the continent: brie,feta, ricotta, chevre, sprouts,snow peas, capers, couscous.All of these contribute a flavorunique to Krawiec’s meticu-lously fashioned menu.
For small plates, there aremany to choose from, be itspinach and asiago dip, bakedbrie and sliced apples, cheesestuffed Portobellos or the everpopular ricotta herb and salmoncakes. Everything is certain tobe exceptional.
From eggplant to prosciutto,walnut pesto to sun-dried toma-to, the lunch menu offers arange of aromas. A personalfavorite – the smoked chicken-cranberry-apple sausage – isserved with precisely meltedbrie over sausage with a finishof raspberry-honey mustard,bedded on a baguette with
tomato, onion and sprouts.To spice up the typical mixed
greens salad, Krawiec addstoasted walnuts or curry roastedsunflower seeds. Another inter-esting variation is the smokedsalmon salad with capers and acreamy lemon-pepper-dilldressing.
To finish a continent-inspiredlunch, it’s necessary to at leasttry an Evian or Perrier. Or per-haps an espresso or CaféAméricain. Krawiec has alsoconscientiously stocked Looza,a favorite fruit drink in Francefor its thick, nectar-like quality.
For the more refined palette,the dinner menu boasts suchdelicacies as pine nut encrustedsalmon, roasted eggplant, petitetender of beef and pan-searedscallops.
Wine with dinner is not aproblem. Self-sufficiency isencouraged. No corking feeapplies, pay only a two-dollarstem fee.
The “cash-only” rule, anadditional endearing trait of thecafé, is just another reason whythe atmosphere is reminiscentof some rustic bistro nestled inthe corners of Paris. And withlunch plates ranging from fiveto eight dollars and dinner from13 to 19, credit cards aren’treally necessary.
Ultimately, Café Du Jour is awelcoming enclave, miracu-lously situated amidst the abra-sive bar scene that is EastCarson Street.
The small tables breed inti-mate conversation, and thefinely crafted foods guaranteesatiation. It is a special trans-port, a doorway through whichone steps from the busy, high-
intensity scene of the SouthSide into a Parisian, expatriateexperience; small tables againstwood-stained walls, an outletonto a back courtyard filledwith wrought iron café furni-
ture, a quiet, exquisite mealbefore a return to the busy lifeoutside those doors.
Through all this, Café Du Jourmanages to avoid aloofness, toblend in, to be a part of the
variety. Sitting under the ceil-ing fans, feet tapping on thecreaking wood floor, the restau-rateur becomes a part of some-thing truly unique and trulygood.

GAME REVIEW
By Andy DrabicCollegian Photography Co-Editor
“Crysis: Warhead” is a fantastic expan-sion of the award-winning first-personshooter game, “Crysis.” Paralleling theoriginal game’s story, “Warhead” followsSergeant “Psycho” Sykes through hismissions on the Island, where he is fight-ing soldiers from the Korean People’sArmy and eventually evolves to himfighting different enemies of unknownorigin. I affectionately refer to the newcreatures as “squidies” because they looklike the squid machines out of “TheMatrix.”
The story is composed of seven mis-sions that take between 20 and 30 min-utes to complete playing on easy difficul-ty. The game in total takes about 5 1/2hours to complete.
The artificial intelligence was excellentfor the most part. There were some times
when the enemies completely ignored meuntil I shot at them or hit them with mygun, but that was rare. They were good attaking cover and excellent at flanking.
There were two “exo-suit” boss-typecreatures that were very hard to takedown, but the extra challenge they pre-sented was a nice addition. The friendlyartificial intelligence characters wereexcellent as well; the squadmates thatprovided assistance were a big help,especially with the exo-suits.
Graphically, the game was amazing. Itdefinitely ran better than the original“Crysis,” which was to be expectedbecause Crytek, the makers of the game,optimized the CryEngine 2 to run betteron all hardware configurations. I foundthat it ran best on a DirectX 10 videocard.
I was impressed with the destructibilityof most objects in the game. You canblow up almost any vehicle and destroy
objects like wooden crates. The playercan also pick up most objects and throwthem at enemy Korean People’s Armysoldiers to kill them. This is a great helpif you are low on ammunition, or if youjust want to have extra fun.
The sounds were well done, with thesound effects from gunfire and explo-sions especially realistic. The only com-plaint I have with the sound in this gamewould be that the Koreans spoke mostlyEnglish. I expected this only from a fewsuch as Colonel Lee, the Korean People’sArmy leader. I thought that the friendlyspeech was done well with there beingdifferent accents for the different friendlysoldiers. For example, there wereAmerican Marines and a British soldier. Ialso liked how the different main charac-ters had definite personalities to them.Just like in “Crysis,” the music fit withthe setting and the different moods of themissions.
Overall, “Crysis: Warhead” was verywell done, and I would go as far as todescribe it as “epic.” It was totallyenthralling from beginning to end. Iloved the different locations on theisland, from a jungle to a submarine baseto a frozen sea. This is definitely one ofthe best games I have played in a while,and I plan on playing it again on the harddifficulty for a better challenge.
The game also comes with “Crysis:Wars” on a second disc. “Wars” is a mul-tiplayer version of the game featuring 21maps, seven of which are new. The other14 come from the original “Crysis.” I didnot have the opportunity to test “Wars”firsthand due to the college’s firewall,but I have heard it is a great improve-ment over the multiplayer in “Crysis.”
The package of “Crysis: Warhead” and“Crysis: Wars” retails for $30. They donot require the original “Crysis” to play.
Overall the game deserves a 9.5/10.

Located just outside of the Strip District inPittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood, theChurch Brew Works stands out amongst itsmicro-brewing peers. While the beer and foodare achievements in their own rights, it is thebuilding itself that draws so much attention,located inside what used to be St. John theBaptist Church on Liberty Avenue and 36Street. Originally built in 1902, the churchenjoyed a 91-year run before it was shutdown in 1993. In 1996 it was carefullyrestored into one of the area’s most famousbreweries.
The atmosphere inside of the Brew Worksis a sight to behold. The stained glassremains intact, the floors are restored originalDouglas Fir and the altar has been convertedto house the copper boilers. The overheadlighting and woodwork of the ceiling arepleasantly reminiscent of Harbison Chapel.On the left side of the church is the bar areawhere diners can seat themselves. The pewsin the center and tables on the right side arethe regular dining area, where the atmosphereis quieter, but the wait can be much longer.
On an especially crowded Saturday night,my party and I skipped the line and found anopen table in the bar area, which is open toadults and children. The atmosphere wasvery lively, making conversation a bit diffi-cult, but this only added to the restaurant’sambiance.
There are two menus to choose from, theregular dining menu offering typicalPittsburgh fare (pierogies and wings) andunique creations (breaded brie with warmapple chutney) as appetizers, all for under
$10. The main courses ranged anywherefrom seafood classics (crab cakes or char-grilled salmon) to filet mignon and ribeyesteaks or pasta dishes. The price of a maincourse can range anywhere from $15 to $32.
The pub menu is for those dining on thecheap. When you’re consuming a couple ofcraft beers or a specialty birch beer (non-alcoholic), this is perfect for the collegebudget. Our appetizer was a delicious dipmade from gouda cheese with spinach andfeta mixed in, served with warm flat bread.The tang of the feta offset the richness of thegouda and the spinach eased the guilt ofgorging on so much saturated fat. At $7.50 itwas one of the mid-range items on theappetizer menu.
Based on hearsay, we ordered pizzas forour entrees. They come with a variety oftoppings, from pepperoni ($14) for the tradi-tionalist, to chicken and andouille ($15) forthe more adventurous. I ordered the arti-choke, spinach and feta pizza ($14) to share.The spinach overwhelmed the artichoke, butthe combination of ingredients was satisfy-ing to the palate. The crust was thick andwarm, but not too gooey, and the feta cheesecoupled nicely with the parmesan. Betweentwo people we struggled to finish even half.Maybe it was the sweet potato fries withchipotle ketchup ($5) that pushed us overthe edge, but there was more than enoughfood to feed a group of four.
If pizza isn’t your thing, they have eightdifferent sandwiches to choose from, includ-ing wraps and burgers, all for under $11.While the pub grub isn’t five-star fare, it’screative enough for the discerning yet basicenough to cater to the average diner. Eitherway, you’re going to get your money’s
worth in portion size.While the food may hit the spot, it’s their
craft beers that steal the show. They havefour regular brews that are available yearround: Celestial Gold, Pipe Organ Ale,Pious Monk Dunkel and Blast FurnaceStout. The Celestial Gold is bubbly beerwith a light body and refreshing flavor. It isa hoppy beer with low alcohol content andlots of crispness.
They had several specialty brews avail-able, including Oktoberfest, a seasonal beerunique to the fall season, amber in color andmalty in flavor. It was filling yet refreshing.The Bell Tower brown is also delicious. It isdark, malty, filling and flavorful.
For the under \21 set, the brewery alsocreates their own craft birch beer and creamsoda. These are just as satisfying as theiradult counterparts.
With a stunning atmosphere, great menuselection, excellent drinks at all ends of thespectrum and friendly service, the ChurchBrew Works is one of Pittsburgh’s choiceplaces to spend a Friday or Saturdayevening. After a day spent shopping orcatching a Penguins game, it’s a prime placeto unwind and catch up with friends over thedin of a bustling post-industrial Pittsburgh.The building draws you in, but the beer andfood will keep you coming back for more.
More information about the ChurchBrew Works, including hours of opera-tion, directions, menus and upcomingevents, can be found at their website:www.churchbrew.com. Stop by beforeNovember 16 to celebrate their 12 yearanniversary and sample old menu itemsincluding the cactus and rattlesnakepierogies!
A taste of heaven in PittsburghRESTAURANT REVIEW
The Holocaust from a child’s eyeBy Anna BrinkmanCollegian Entertainment Editor
While it is rare to find children’s literaturedealing with the Holocaust, it is probablyrarer to find films that approach the subjectfrom a child’s point of view. “The Boy in theStriped Pajamas” offers a compelling look atinnocence, betrayal and awakening on twosides of the fence of a concentration camp.
Adapted and directed by Mark Herman, thefilm is based on the bestselling book writtenby Irish novelist John Boyne, which has soldmillions of copies worldwide since its publi-cation in 2006. The story centers on Bruno(Asa Butterfield), the eight-year-old son of aNazi commandant. When Bruno moves outof the city due to his father’s assignment toa new post, he finds that their new propertyborders what seems to be a farm where theworkers wear striped pajamas. One day,Bruno meets another eight-year-old boy,Schmuel (Jack Scanlon), on the other side ofthe electrified fence, and the two form anunlikely friendship.
The film’s pervasive sense of darknessbegins the moment Bruno steps into hisempty new house and grows more and moreoppressive as the story continues. Even thesunny plot where Bruno met Schmuel ishaunted by a dark forest on one side of thefence and the dark huts of the concentrationcamp on the other.
Boyne remains unclear about whether his
novel is for children or adults, and the filmretained this ambiguity. It fluctuated fromalmost painful predictability to gut-wrench-ing twists. In a way, the many predictableaspects of the movie were what lent suchpower to its surprises. Appropriately for astory told from a child’s perspective, theslowly unfolding plot gave a sense ofBruno’s malaise in his new home. The setsfelt cramped and claustrophobic. The emo-tional tone was one of inescapable drabnessand sterility, with cold silences punctuatedby meaning-filled glances.
The main characters tended to grow morecaricatured as the story moved forward, andthe conflicts between them grew more two-dimensional. After learning the extent of herhusband’s involvement at the concentrationcamp, Bruno’s mother (Vera Farmiga) beganto lose her mind a little too obviously, whilethe commandant himself (David Thewlis)proceeded down a clichéd path to almostcomplete detachment from his family.
Bruno’s 12-year-old sister, Gretel (AmberBeattie), underwent a disturbing metamor-phosis from a timid girl clutching lace-claddolls to an archetype of loyalty to theFatherland, her hair tightly braided and herfrilly clothes exchanged for a Germanschoolgirl’s uniform. Much of this proves tobe the result of her crush on a handsomeyoung soldier, who was featured prominent-ly in one of the movie’s early iconic scenes.Young, strong and blond, washing a military
vehicle, he personified the Aryan male ideal.The paradox of his brutal coldness com-bined with his clear vulnerability lent ahumanity to his character that Bruno’s par-ents lacked.
The shadowy maid, Maria (Cara Horgan),was a refreshingly original minor character.Always gentle and respectful, she respondedto Bruno’s initial inquiry about her opinionof the house with a diplomatic “[i]t isn’t myplace to say.” Her dark eyes communicatedmore than most of the lines coming from themouths of Bruno’s parents.
Despite – or perhaps because of – thefilm’s limited scope, Herman’s use of light-ing and color proved quite effective; everyelement of the concentration camp, from thehuts to the prisoners’ uniforms to the sky, islimited to dull gray and blue. Bruno’s world,in contrast, is characterized by rich, darkcolors and textures. This is especially evi-dent in the expensive blouses and furs hismother wears. Perhaps the most impressiveaspect of the film was its coherence in thesesmall details, which gradually added up overthe course of the story to evoke precisely theright feelings in the audience.
All in all, “The Boy in the StripedPajamas” was far from the sprawling galleryof human experience portrayed by filmssuch as “Schindler’s List.” But in its ownundersized, tightly drawn way, it presentedthe Holocaust through a lens of childhoodrarely found elsewhere.

Writer responds to student’s concerns about validity of ICO trips
By Anne Marie BoothCollegian News Editor
Last week, senior Bryan Jarrellwrote an editorial for the Collegianon overseas ICOs. As Jarrell correct-ly points out, there are many over-seas ICOs being planned for thisacademic year to such exotic loca-tions as slums in Haiti and anorphanage in Mexico. Sadly, theaccuracy of the rest of his editorialgoes downhill from there.
A key to understanding Jarrell’sarguments against ICOs would beknowing how he defines the purposeof an ICO. He implies throughoutthe article that an ICO has one pur-pose and one purpose only – tomake a major impact on the peoplebeing served.
This is a lofty purpose and notwithout merit. But is it the only rea-son one should go on an ICO?
Jarrell’s argument actually hasroots in Scripture – specifically inMark 14:3-9.
Perhaps you remember the story:A woman approached Jesus with aflask of very expensive perfumewhich she broke open and poured onJesus’ head. We know it was expen-sive because several of the guestswho witnessed this complainedabout the woman’s act for that veryreason. They noted that “it couldhave been sold for more than ayear’s wages and the money givento the poor.”
Unfortunately for both the criticalguests and Jarrell, Jesus took aslightly different view.
No matter how we spend ourmoney, whether on an overseas ICO,a car, a house or even four years ofcollege, someone can argue that themoney could have been better spenton more worthy causes. Does thismean we should all drop out of col-lege, sell all our possessions andgive the money to the poor? It wouldcertainly not be out of character forJesus to call an individual to that sortof sacrificial living.
I would contend that ICOs,whether foreign or domestic, areabout more than just monetary sup-port to charity. I would also contendthat ICOs are not solely about mak-ing a “major” impact on the peoplebeing served.
None of us on earth can say withabsolute certainty what impact ouractions will have and upon whom.Nine days spent in a foreign countrymay not have an impact that isimmediately evident. Nor, for thatmatter, do we know who will beimpacted by our actions. It may bethe people we seek to serve, or itmay be ourselves, or it may be both.
This brings up another one ofJarrell’s arguments. His last sentencereads, “While I understand that livesare changed, usually it’s our own,not the lives of those we seek toshare the Gospel with, and that isnot the purpose of an ICO.”
Jarrell seems to think that ICOsneed a clearly and narrowly definedpurpose. There is some wisdom tothat idea. The ICOs I’ve seen adver-tised are not simply going to foreigncountries but to specific locations
within those countries. More oftenthan not, the missions team has apredetermined project to be carriedout. Many foreign ministries wel-come these student teams and savetasks for them that might not other-wise get carried out due to a lack ofa large number of volunteers avail-able at any one time.
Does God only call people to dothings that have a major impact? Ordoes He sometimes speak in a still,small voice (I Kings 19:12) and actthrough small deeds?
And what of Jarrell’s other argu-ment, that an ICO is not about hav-ing the lives of those who partici-pate changed? I would argue thatthe exact opposite is true – thatwhile you are on an ICO servingothers, you too should be changedor at least be willing to let Godwork on your heart. There is no sinin allowing God to deal with youwhen He has you in a foreign landwhere the comforts of home arenot easily accessible. It may be achange in the way you think aboutpeople who don’t look like you. Itmay be a change in calling. It maybe that He touches your heart toreturn to the area you visited tofurther serve – for a summer, asemester, a year or the rest of yourlife.
Jarrell would have people do ICOsin the States. Nothing wrong withthat – if God is calling you to anICO in the United States then by allmeans go. But what if God has put iton your heart to learn a foreign lan-guage for the purpose of ministering
to people in a country where thatlanguage is spoken? What if He hasgiven you a vision of how to useyour particular skills to address aproblem you might not have other-wise known about, had you not seenit for yourself firsthand? This is howRuth Dykstra Entwistle ’07 helpedcreate Deep Springs Internationalseveral years back. You might haveread about DSI in the Collegian afew weeks back, as well as in thenews section this week.
You might also have read aboutsenior Kelly Smith’s Books forBlondille, a Haitian literacy ministryinspired by her short-term missionstrip this past summer. Smith didn’thave to spend two months in Haitito see the importance of helpingchildren become literate. She is aneducation major who knows theimportance of children being able toread. God used her encounter inHaiti with Blondille to touch herheart to serve some of the world’spoorest of the poor – an encounterJarrell would have preferred shedidn’t have because the moneyspent on airfare could have been putto “better” use.
No one is requiring Jarrell to go onan international ICO. Nor is hebeing told he must contribute finan-cially to those who do want to go.He spent this past summer in Chinadoing what he recommends othersdo not do.
Did God use Jarrell to make amajor impact? If not, should thosepeople who supported him demandtheir money back?

History is a thing of the past sowe should just forget about it.
Sadly, this is what the curriculain many elementary schools sug-gest. Elementary schools spend somuch time on other subjects thatthey neglect to focus on the studyof history.
Study in history, however, is animportant foundation because stu-dents not only see where they havecome from, but also get a glimpseat where they are going. This cur-rent educational trend has themajority of the school day focusingsolely on reading and mathbecause those are the subjectsemphasized by the No Child LeftBehind Act. As a result, history islost in the daily academic schedule,confused with a dubious socialstudies curriculum while it shouldbe at the center of every elemen-tary school education.
When George W. Bush signedthe No Child Left Behind Act,teachers started to panic becausethey were now evaluated on thebasis of how well their studentsperformed in the areas of math andreading. Teachers and administra-tors therefore increased the amountof time that these subjects would
take up to make sure that studentsperformed well. Now in a typicalelementary classroom, math andreading take up over two-thirds ofthe academic day. What I find dis-tressing is the fact that these twosubjects now have importancesolely because those are the onlytwo subjects that “matter” accord-ing to No Child Left Behind. Thus,history is being pushed back onteachers’ priority lists and will onlyresurface if they have any freetime. This usually amounts toabout two 45-minute periods perweek.
Having two 45-minute periods isnot effective because of the broadsocial studies curriculum that dom-inates our schools. The term“social studies” incorporates thestudy of the social sciences and thehumanities. Some of the disciplinesincluded would be anthropology,archeology, economics, geography,history, law, philosophy, politicalscience, psychology, religion andsociology. How can teachers justifyteaching their third-graders aboutpsychology and sociology, whenthey don’t even know the capital oftheir state or what the Civil Warwas? Regardless, schools continueto push the social studies curricu-lum through each year.
Furthermore, the curriculum is “a
mile wide but only an inch deep.”Teachers strive to make their stu-dents better citizens and peoplethrough these areas, but in reality,they are just briefly covering a mil-lion topics in only two periods ofteaching. The lack of qualityinstruction causes students to ulti-mately know nothing in the field ofhistory.
History class should include astudy of past cultures, their geo-graphic region and what can belearned from them. Without thissound study of history, studentswill never experience the triumphsof the human race and the failuresthat they have suffered andendured. Without an appreciationfor these areas of history, schoolsare not producing students with agenuine interest for life and learn-ing. Just as twentieth centuryphilosopher George Santayana stat-ed, “Those who cannot learn fromhistory are doomed to repeat it.”Thus without this understanding ofhistory, students will never triumphwith George Washington or despairwith Julius Caesar. Teachers under-standably need to decide to focuson history in elementary school.
History has certainly been leftout of the public school curriculumfor the past several years. Bringinghistory back into the curriculum of
public schools will be difficult butcan be done. First, administratorsand teachers need to can the awfulattempt of trying to make studentsbetter citizens through the socialstudies curriculum, because it isineffective and shallow. Second,teachers need to start incorporatingthe reading of history into theirlanguage arts curriculum. Insteadof focusing so much on fiction,teachers should have their studentsread about Napoleon, the Greeksand even biographies of great menand women of history. This idea ofincorporating history into the lan-guage arts program will not onlygive them material to practice theirreading skills on but will engagethem and give them a love andpassion for history.
Schools need to make a con-scious effort to bring the love andstudy of history back in to theclassroom. History is a subject thatso many people can benefit frombecause it not only allows peopleto understand where the humanrace came from, but it also allowshumans to see where they aregoing. Thus, if America’s studentsare ever going to be great and out-standing citizens, the publicschools need to reintegrate historyinto the daily curriculum as soon aspossible.

A season of blood, sweat,tears and possibly a few misseddinners were on the line. Twoteams, gritting their teeth for achance at recognition in GroveCity College’s most infamoussport, lined up against eachother for one last time. Theemotions were palpable; asteely glare permeated the facesof the competitors as each onetensely awaited the openingpull.
And there I was, thinking tomyself, “It’s really, reallycold.”
That was, at least, the generalstatement for the A, B and CLeague IM FrisbeeChampionship games that tookplace last week under the lightsat Robert E. Thorn Field. GroveCity’s most popular IM sportfeatured teams that had made itthrough the playoffs unscathedand ready to put their fortitudeto the test amid the swirlingwind and traces of snow.
As the battling teams knew,the victor would bask in theglory of their triumph for atleast 15 minutes or so. Clearly,
high stakes were on the line.As spectators shivered inces-
santly on the sidelines, theFlying Squirrels battled theConk-Quistadors for the CLeague crown. Weather wascertainly a factor; the Frisbeeseemed to float an extra 45minutes before finally settlingdown. The harsh cold madecatching the Frisbee like catch-ing an iced bullet. So, withadverse conditions hinderingboth teams’ offensive attacks,the game started in a pedestrianmanner. Not until a Conk-Quistador found his teammateon a heave that bent to the cor-ner of the end zone well intothe first half to score thegame’s first point.
Almost like an act of defi-ance, the wind picked up fol-lowing the play. It was difficultto pass the disc before; now itwas nearly impossible. Nearchances on short tosses wereruined by the wind’s challenge.Regardless, the Conk-Quistadors doubled their leadwith a loft that just floated overthe Squirrels’ back two defend-ers and into the hands of thereceiver. The Squirrels battledback to score just before the
half to make the score 2-1.If the first half was any indi-
cation, the second half wasseemingly destined for, in thewords of the beloved formerSteelers’ Coach Bill Cowher, “agood ol’ defensive struggle.”
That’s when the real scoringstarted.
The Squirrels used their ath-leticism to rattle off fivestraight scores to take the lead– a lead that would hold for therest of the game. The finalscore stood at 11-4, and theSquirrels left the field as thenew C League Champions. Intheir revelry, the team thankedC League for a great season.The team captain couldn’tmake it to the game, but histeammates assured that if hewas there, he would’ve said, “Iguess the mandatory, hour-a-day practices paid off after all.”Indeed.
The B League Championship,the Obscure Animals versusHotel Bro-wanda, commencedin the same, unfavorable condi-tions that plagued the C Leaguegame before it. The Animalsscored first and then quicklyfound themselves down 4-1 asBro-wanda worked the short
game to build their lead. The Animals slowly worked
their way back into contention,however, and then took a 5-4lead a few minutes into the sec-ond half. Hotel Bro-wanda tiedthe score at five on an athleticcatch toward the back of theend zone; unfortunately, it didnothing to curtail the Animals’momentum. With a swarmingdefense, the Animals onlyallowed one more score whilescoring three to make the finalscore 8-6. A euphoric team saidafter the game that, facing a 4-1 deficit early, they were ableto keep their heads and battleback. The Obscure Animals,who have been together sincefreshman year, are proud to bethe new B league champions.
The evening of the A Leaguechampionship was pleasantlywarm, a drastic contrast to theweather of the B and C Leaguegames. Before the Okies andthe Senior Citizens squared offin a much-anticipated match-up, the Redeem Team andCampus Safety dueled for thirdplace. In a stunningly brave,wonderfully-played game at theCollege, Campus Safety pre-vailed, 10-9.
A sizeable crowd gatheredaround Thorn Field to watchthe pinnacle of Grove City fris-bee greatness. The scoringstarted early: On almost identi-cal out-patterns, each teamscored to equalize the score atone to one. The rest of the firsthalf witnessed three more tiesand four more lead changes,with a variety of long bombsand flicks that threaded theskinniest of needles, before halfwas called with the score at 5-4, Senior Citizens on top.
They would never look back.Despite a valiant effort by the
Okie squad, the SeniorCitizens’ insurmountabledefense destroyed all hope of acomeback. By the time the finalwhistle was blown, the Citizensheld a 13-7 lead, and joined theprestigious mantle of A Leaguegreatness. One player’s wordscan summarize the team’s emo-tions after the game: “I’veworked my tail off for sevenstraight semesters now, made itto five championships, and thisis the first final I’ve won. I’mso happy.” Vindication, then,may be an understatement.
If you think that was dramat-ic, just wait until spring.

The Grove City College foot-ball team lost at Westminster forits second year in a row in anoth-er close game – 21-24, decided inthe last seconds of the fourthquarter.
The chilly first half boastedonly one touchdown by theWestminster Titans. Westminsterwas coming off their bye weekand was well prepared for thegame.
“We’ll keep the same direction,but we will be more determinedin our game play and finish theseason strong,” Head Coach ChrisSmith ’72 said on how this gamewould affect the outcome of theseason. “We have a duty to keepthe next game from being less ofa disservice to the previous 88days that we’ve been playing.”
The offense made multiple longdrives into the end zone but cameup without any points going intothe second half. Two field goalswere attempted as the Wolverinestried to put points on the board.
Westminster lost one of theirkey players, Chad Rosatelli, ontheir first touchdown drive due toinjury, placing the ball in the
hands of Nick McKolosky formuch of the game.
The third quarter began with along kickoff return by the Titans,which led to an early field goal.Corner junior Randy Santinadeprived them of a second shot atthe end-zone with an impressivepass knockdown on their nextdrive.
Then the Wolverine offensebegan putting points up on theboard. Freshman Blaine Millerran the ball in for the touch-down, set up by a screen thrownto him by junior AndrewDiDonato.
The defense had a series ofpenalties push them back intotheir own red-zone before givingup another touchdown. Theoffense responded with a longdrive with DiDonato running theball for multiple first downs andMiller running the ball in for thescore.
The defense gave the ball rightback to the offense after threeplays, and the offense took advan-tage of penalties on Westminsterto march the ball down the fieldand score with a stand-up touch-down by DiDonato to put theWolverines ahead 21-17.
Senior Adam Ikler intercepted
the ball on the next series, givingthe ball back to the offense astime became a factor.
“It was a good team effort,”Ikler said about his interception.“On the pick I audibled to a dif-ferent defensive scheme, and thequarterback didn’t pick up on it,so he didn’t see me waiting forthe ball.”
The offense ran the ball deepinto Westminster territory beforeturning it over to the defense ondowns. With less than two min-utes left, Westminster completed aseries of long passes to get downthe field and gain a touchdownfor the final score of 24-21 beforethe time ran out.
The Wolverines gained the ballon their own 40-yard line. Withonly four seconds left, sophomorewide receiver Zach Summycaught a long ball on the one-yardline. On a controversial call, theoffense failed to score on a quar-terback sneak.
“We never gave up,” said Ikler,“They got the calls to go theirway in the end; we didn’t.”

Grove City has gone 4-0-1 onthe hockey rink since the seasonstarted in early October. In theirlatest game, Grove City beatGeneva 10-1.
In season review, Grove City’sfirst match was against ClarionUniversity. The team was pleasedwith the results of the first periodagainst Clarion which ended 4-0in Grove City’s favor. Clarionrefused, however, to simplyaccept defeat. At the beginning ofthe second period, Clarion capi-talized on a two-on-one opportu-nity against Grove City and puttheir first goal between the posts.Clarion proceeded to continuethis process with two more goals,but they were unable to finish theuphill climb. The game ended 7-5, Grove City.
In their second game, SlipperyRock (White) proved to be a chal-lenge to Grove City. Though sen-ior Adam Snyder was pleased toscore first for Grove City on anunassisted breakaway, SlipperyRock was happy to respond withits own goal. Freshmen RockyCersosimo proved to be bothskilled and lucky by shooting forthe net and bouncing the puck offof a Slippery Rock skate intotheir net. But once again SlipperyRock was glad to keep pace witha second goal as well. Cersosimo
and Snyder teamed up to makeGrove City’s third and final goal,but Slippery Rock refused to letup, scoring a third of their own inthe third period. Even in suddendeath overtime, both Grove Cityand Slippery Rock proved to betoo evenly matched, and theteams ended the game tied 3-3.
Last week, Grove City had twogames, the first of which wasagainst Pitt (Gold). In this game,Grove City blew Pitt away bygoing up eight goals withoutbeing scored upon. Most notableduring this frenzy was the stickwork of Snyder who scored the
sixth goal by shooting the puckand then rebounding his own shotthree times. His final attempt fora goal during this whirlwind ofshooting was from Pitt’s own goalline; the shot ricocheted off thegoalpost, into the back of thegoalie and then bounced into thenet. Snyder went on to score twomore goals in under three minutesthat period, earning him a welldeserved natural hat trick. Pittwas able to score four goals oftheir own following thisonslaught, but sophomore PhilAntoline put one more past thePitt goalie earning himself a hat
trick and winning the game 9-4.In their fourth game, Grove
City played against Pitt (Blue).Cersosimo once again proved theadage that “a good defense is agood offense” by scoring GroveCity’s first two goals; freshmanLuke Stoltzfus then put in a thirdgoal short handed closing out thefirst period. In the second, Pittproved to be uninitiated by finallyputting two goals past seniorMike McLaughlin between theposts. Cersosimo attempted todeny this effort to close the gapby scoring Grove City’s fourthgoal short handed, earning him-self a hat trick. But Pitt was unde-terred, catching Grove City’s leadwith two more goals of their own.Toward the end of the third peri-od, the score was tied 4-4 withboth teams attempting to edge theother out with one more goal. Pittmade the final strike with ten sec-onds on the clock by attemptingthe legendary “michigan.” Themichigan is when a player behindan opposing net picks the puck uponto their stick and whips aroundto the front of the net attemptingto slam the puck into the uppercorner. The attempt was mostlysuccessful for Pitt in that the puckwent into the net; when perform-ing the michigan, however, aplayer must take care to keeptheir stick below the goal’s cross-bar to avoid a high stick call. Bya matter of inches, the Pitt play-
er’s stick hit the crossbar on hisattempt, drew the call, negatedthe attempted goal and forced thegame into sudden death overtime.Within two minutes, Grove City’sCersosimo and Antoline endedthe game in Grove City’s favor,5-4.
Last week, Grove City soughtto continue their undefeatedstreak by taking on GenevaCollege. The first period showedthe strength of the team's offence,which pounded the Geneva goaliewith shot after shot, one of whichfound the back of the goal. In thesecond, Grove City continued toget numerous shots on net, threeof which hit home, putting GroveCity up 4-0. It wasn't until thethird period that Geneva's defens-es came tumbling down. Beforelong, Grove City had nearly dou-bled their lead with three moregoals. Nonetheless, it was in thethird that Geneva finally got onegoal of their own into the GroveCity net - their first and last - andGrove City went on to score threemore goals ending the game withan impressive score of 10-1,Grove City.
