ARCHIVES from page 1 copies of The Collegian bound like pamphlets, old letters from former students to their parents, and legal docu- ments and news articles pertain- ing to the landmark Grove City College v. Bell court case, to name a few of the records the archives hold. Items too big to fit in the boxes, slightly curled posters, a few small wooden fraternity paddles and large, yellowed photos fill an island of over- sized drawers in the middle of the archives room. A significant amount of the non-print memorabilia relates to Greek life on campus. A display with mixed Greek memorabilia stands just outside of the archives and work is in process for three new displays for individual fraternities and sororities. Preservation is not the only goal for the archives. Lewis and MacLeod hope to put copies of the print documents in Past Perfect, a software system that makes research possible online.

Many professors at Grove City College are known for their style. It is commonplace to hear students admiring a professor’s ensemble. But which professors really are the best dressed? In search of these elite few, a number of students were informally surveyed, and they voted these fi ve as several of the most stylish around. DR. COLLIN MESSER, ENGLISH Dr. H. Collin Messer emphasized his wife Elizabeth and his daughters as an infl uence on his style. “She thinks I spend too much on shoes,” he said. He considers William Faulkner to be an infl uence on his style – one of his favorite items is a classic tweed jacket. Messer would like to be recorded as saying he believes the other three professors on this list have better styles than him. As far as style tips for campus, he gave one word – “Gabardine!”

DR. PAUL MUNSON, MUSIC On the day of this interview, Dr. Paul Munson chose a plaid sport coat with slacks, shirt and tie. The plaid sport coat, which his wife found for him, was subtle in color but had a nice pattern. He said she is helpful when it comes to clothing, whether she tells him if it works or that it needs to be replaced. However, it seems that Munson has a handle on what he likes to wear and doesn’t depend on her. “I wore ties in high school, and when I started teaching, I just continued that,” he said. “The way we dress is like anything else – we make decisions with the purpose of loving others. When I’m standing in front of a captive audience, I can make my appearance a blessing by choosing clothing with ele- ments like color and line in mind.”

DR. REBECCA HARMON, FRENCH Dr. Rebecca Harmon said she looks for “casual, easy elegance” in the clothes she chooses. She looks to collections rather than celebrities for style, with the result that her style is cohesive but not staid or boring. She cites her mother as a style infl uence in terms of her own taste for classic pieces and looking for quality over quantity. She stressed for students the importance of thoughtful choices in style. “It’s possible to be fashionable without running after brands, spending a lot of money or being immodest,” she said.

DR. ERIK ANDERSON, ENGINEERING Dr. Erik Anderson gave his wife most of the credit for his style. He said she has bought for him about 80 percent of his clothing. His wife, on the other hand, estimated that number to be closer to 95 percent. He displayed a picture of himself demonstrating his style before getting married – the transition in the execution of the style is very apparent, but he maintains the same core aesthetic, which tends toward a prep-hipster hybrid. He gave the campus men the following style advice: “Guys, get married, and when your wife says, ‘Oh, you’re going to wear that?’ throw it away. If she says, ‘Why don’t you wear that blue shirt I bought you?’ wear it once a week. If she says, ‘Where did you get your haircut?’ without sound- ing and looking passionate, ask her for a picture of someone she thinks has nice hair and bring it to the barber shop. Guys, this is not about acquiescing to your lady’s whims; it’s about waking up and smelling the coff ee. Resistance isn’t just futile; it’s a bad fashion decision.”

Letter to the Editor

Although I agree that our academic program is strong, I couldn’t embrace the argument that there is no bubble at the College. As another transfer student from a secular, politically liberal university, I’m blessed to be taught by Christian professors, yet I am frustrated despite the knowledge I’m gaining – is it all about how we think, or also about how we apply what we learn? I believe that at the College we have limited opportunities to take what we learn in class and use it to practice being active in our evangelism in aggressive academic and social settings. At my previous school, my one class was about apocalyptic texts from various religions, and yes, my professor was derogatory and dismissive regarding Revelation. Was it draining? Yes, but it was still a crucial moment of spiritual growth to recognize God had given me the responsibil- ity to defend his Word to this professor. I also remember when my friend would talk about her bad experience with Christianity and ask me hard questions. (Do you create an open environ- ment for this potential situation by not assuming every student here embraces what’s being taught?) Sometimes after talking with one of you, I think of the infl uence you could have with a student who is not surrounded by supportive Christian peers and needs your gracious insight. Is there a solution for balancing this knowledge and application? I’d support anyone who could create a learning institution where the fi rst two years paralleled the College and the second two sent students out to secular institutions. Meanwhile, I encourage you to recognize this dynamic of the College and to be intentionally seeking ways to apply your knowledge right now by the groups you join and to consider the future with discernment as you explore post-graduation options. -Kristen Yealy ’13
