violence For aa those dark clouds form In the iky we ere reminded that we have
been Invited to stand witness at the fractured pieces where heeven lightning
strike our earthly terrain without compromle For we ere Storm Chasers
Since the person of Jesus was conceived on Earth forceful winds have found their
path on our plenet and In our hearts The teaching and cherge of this Nazarene has
always shook Vie human foundations of our world real estate In its thunderous
opposition. Simply put The cress of Jesus asks that we be people who oppose our
world's nardsslstio values and principles thet remain forever Incompatible with the
kingdom of God on Earth Each week our oolege group we) seek to study and

Next week about 35 stu-

The purple-clad students
arc members of the
Homecoming Steering
Committee which is headed
by two co chairs and super-
vised by the staff in the
Alumni Association
"We want to increase stu-
dent awareness yes its
Homecoming and yes its for
students as well" said
Kathleen Pina Homecoming
co-chair and senior political
science major from San
Antonio
Pina said wearing purple
every day will emphasize
that Homecoming is not just
for alumni and will show
that this years committee
wants to increase current
student participation and
involvement even at the
planning level
Applying for the Home-
coming Steering Committee
in the past years has been
"application by invite" only
Pina said but this year they
wanted to open it up for
everyone She said even
freshmen could apply and
would be great for the com-

Deep Dish Philosophy
gives students an opportuni-
ty to discuss topics ranging
from philosophy to religion
It began three years ago in
the Student Honors
Department but did not run
last car Patrick Leech
sophomore history major
from Abilene leads the club
Deep Dish combines fel-
lowship and "encourages
intellectual discussion"as
Bill Rankin professor of
English said It begins with
a guest speaker who
"launches student discus-
sion" said Dr Chris Wilier-
ton professor of English and
director of the Honors
Program
A unique aspect to Deep
Dish is that it is not in lec-
ture format like many college
courses Willerton said it is
an "opportunity outside of
the classroom" where there
are no holds barred and
"anything goes "

Another way the commit-
tee will be getting students
involved is through JamFest
a concert made up of student
bands and performers Lydia
Spies Homecoming Steering
Committee co chair and sen-
ior pre-physlcal thcrap)
major form Glen Rose said
the concert scheduled for the
Friday night of
Homecoming will feature
many students Instead of
bringing in a single artist
It is always a challenge to
find someone who will
appeal to the interests of
both the alumni and stu-
dents Spies said She said the
committee is even trying to
have alumni participate 'in
JamFest this year
The committee is working
on ways to get students
excited about all of the
events and is looking for
prizes for the annual
Homecoming Golf Classic
Spies said one of the prizes
will be a car and there is a
possibility that one of the
prizes will be a motorcycle.
This year Homecoming is
scheduled for Oct 21-24
and the full schedule of
events including informa-
tion about the Homecoming
musical Kiss Me Kate and the
class reunions can be found
online through the ACU Web

of Deep Dish
Attendance ranges from
six to 12 students allowing
this intimate group deeper
discussion on topics ranging
from Aristotle s philosophic
to last week's topic of biolog-
ical altruism Leech said that
these topics usually lead to
how they "impact our faith"
Leech said Deep Dish is
meant to be a safe environ-
ment where students can
share their personal beliefs
and receive friendly feed-
back The goal of this program
is to facilitate at least 50 free
thinkers whether they are in
the honors program or not
The Honors Program tries to
provide social activities com-
bined with intellectual
thought where students can
use their minds and then
apply that knowledge said
