Easter — a time for
renewal of faith, in God
Editor's Note: The foilowi»vg
letter was sent to us from the
keepers of the Voice Bo*.
Dear Voice Box
Thas is a letter concerning the
policy of having to- bey a meai
ticket when living in the dorm
The price of meals corr.pr.-ses
most of the dormitory fee Ever,
if a person only eats two meals
a day doesn't eat breakfast or
decides to eat out, he still pays,
for that meal It would be much
better, if there -aere an optional
meal plan. This would greatly
reo.ee the price of living :n the
dormitory but also give those
who wish it a chance to eat in
the cafeteria. We believe that
if the meal plan was not com-
pulsory. thereby lowering the
price of living in the dormitory
more out-of-town students would
come to TWC to live in the dorm
thus spreading the name of TWC
Perhaps." the student government
•would have some influence in
this area to get the present
policy revised.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Student

For those of the Ckriswp religion Easter is a time
renewal of f.-
criftce of Christ s l:fe

and the new life He bought fo: His followers. Not only, did
Jesus Christ come and talk of a new'life. but he also practiced
what He preached He e%e:. went so far as to die for His
beliefs. .After His death. His-blowers, continued to believe
in Him and His teachings for on the third day .after His death
He arose. Never before had this occuOTed in history asd
Christ's disciples- uere at 3 loss to explain it Although the;,
knew it couldn't happen it hid. and after talking with the riser.
Chris* they knew a new life was available to them
The celebration of Easter symbolizes Christ's sacrifice of
His life and H:- gift of, new hie This new life of taith. hope
and joy is present not . nly m the hearts'' or Christ s followers
but also in the works that Cod created At Easter tine ah .r
nature comes alive as if sprinkled with a magic potion from
above God's grace and lose extends from the Cross to His
people and to nature The barren wastes of Winter become
the blooming greer. sales of spring
