Alargegustof wind in theform of a sighburstsfrom my upturned lips. Reliefrushesthroughmy body like thewaves ofLake Michigan rollingontothecrushed-rock shores of IndianaBeach (it's more picturesque than itsounds, okay!). The viciousred ink coursingbeneath myfingertips drains as I'mrelieved of myeditorialalter-ego.

Why theexhilaration? The answer is simple: "theBook" (or mypartof it) is finished, completed, done— NEVER to be touched againbymydiscriminatingpen.

Of course, Icould saythere'sno real reasonto dwellonsomething thatonlythe ninepeopleIspentmysenioryearholed up withinTE 110couldunderstand After all, thisletter is inabook created forthe studentbody HA! Fatchance This letteris onOUR pagesandis written solelyforthoseexactninepeople— Jeff, Aud., D., Todd,Jen, Reef,Michelle, Laura and Darrin Infact, theyarethe ONLY peopleinall of LU whowillunderstand more thanaserifof what I'mwriting But guesswhat? Icouldn'tgivea corn's kernel. Thesewords arenothing more than my reward fortheunending,life-sucking, gradezapping, I-don't-know-how-inHeaven's-name-I-managed-to-earn-adegree-because-of-yearbook hours I've spentin serviceto myuniversity. Yes, this letterfrom theEditoris thevery reason why Itookthisjobforasecond year (well, thatandthefactthatIwas overtakenbya shortfit of deliriumwhen Iagreed).

You'reokay (that's ascomplementary as this chickgets). Yourphotography is out of this world. Itwas sucha wonderful reliefthatanyone onstaffcould tellyoua great, amazing idea, andyou'd getit done even when we didn'treallyknow what we wanted, let alonehowto doit. Somehow, italways seemed tocome out unbelievable,i.e. thesportssection, StudentLife dividerpage, etc Ican'teven believeI'msayingthis,butIthinkI might missyouwhen Ileave. ??????????

ForAudrey — anotherraremidwesterner, andtheonlypersononstaff who evertrulybelieved Iwould wed— I haveonlytwo bits of advice: neverlet Rob getaway, (heis oneof therarestfishyou'll findinthatsmall, draining seaof men), and PLEASE recruitsome peopleto help you labelall thosedarnportraitsnextyear. Although itwas anicetimeof bondingfor us, N O Editorshould everhaveto endure thatkind of gruntwork. Justone more thing: Thanx forthebook Itjustmight come inhandy, now Hopefully, anyway

Laura, Laura, Laura, what canIsay? Iknow Igaveyou adifficulttimeinthe beginning,butthinkhow much more printingexperienceitgaveyou for next year

Hey, Jen— the bestspeed-writing graphicsmajorI'veeverseen— goodjob. Do you realizeyou wroteover50percent of the copy in thisbook, notincluding captionsand headlines? And,it's notjust good, ifsGGGreaatttt! Anyway,I'm sorry Iwasn'tableto hook you up withM.S Justkeep praying; it might workout.

Dear Reet— staffloud mouth, writer extraordinaire, officeentertainment and dancing partner— may your dreamsoftravelingthecountry on aHog come true,may countrymusicblossom and may youraccentremain Southern I wish I'dthoughtofthat mono gigfirst. Icould'veused a few weeks off from schoolin the middle of deadlinefever, too!

D., Dot, Dodi, Dorothy, whatever you want to call yourself, withno staffand only one assistant, it's amazingthis book looksasfabulousas it does. Ofcourse, now that the yearis overyou and Laura probablysharelike feelings toward me — I'm extremely pickyand fairlyevil (two characterqualitiesIhave found to be reasonably helpfulin my position) But, regardless of how tiredyourarm became from crossingoff red inkfrom reamsofprintouts, you'vegot to admitthatthe pagesturnedout great PS I willhangyourbulbonmy Christmastree for yearsto come,and itwillinspiremy future grandchildrento askwhat"Off the Wall" means. Naturally,Ishallalwaysthink of you.

Todd, Ican'tkeep myselffrom smilingwhen Itypeyourname, oh my Tennesseefriend. Ifyourmusicputme to sleepall year, yourzillions of questions certainlykeptme on my toes But, thafs okay You'rearealdoll And,maybe the nexttimeIgo to aCivilWar reenactment orseeamovie ofthat type, you'llbe on screen Keep playingwithD.'sarmy men and you'llgetitall straightened out PS

Inanswer to thatlongunanswered questionasked of me duringone ofthose deep, deadlinechats: worry notyoursweetlittle head When you findthat special someone, you'll know instinctively. Let'sjusthope therumor aboutTennessee inhabitantsisn't true, and thatshe's notyourcousin

Finally, it's yourturn, Darrin. As Selah's first BusinessManager (to my knowlege, thatis),you came intothe job withavast amount of questions for which Ihad absolutelyno answers. How could Ihavehad any to giveyou? Anyway, you pulled through, raisedthecash, and keptitall organized. EverytimeI see SaranWrap Ishallalwaysthinkof you and yourquickcomebacksfor everycomment. Although thesearethepeople who shaped my senioryear, thereareothers I must thankbeforemy show is over.First of all, IthankGod. You heard my prayers, and somehow Imade itthrough this worst yearof my life Secondly, Ithank my parents Withoutyou, Iknow Icouldn't haveexperienced all thatIhave thesefour years Thirdly, Ithank my fiance, Jonathan Without theweekend escapes you offeredme withyourvisits, I would surelyhave diedfrom thestress.Also, you haveallowed me the joyof beingableto tell my unbelieving Editors: "Seeyouat thewedding!"

Now, theyearhasbeen wrapped up roughly in amyriad of insidejokes, and a certainmood of griefis settlinginto my mind. It's over. My two-yearEditorial reignis over. The timehascome when I must entrustmy protegeswith theheavy taskof followingin my footsteps Todd, Rita,Audrey, Laura, Ihope you'velearned enough from me and yoursectionEditors thisyearto do itbetterin 1994-95. After all, you were trainedby themasters, soit shouldn'tbe toohard.

ThifcooKias captured atray pmtion ofall we did and felt. We triB s«\e new things—wBlicMe you'll like them. We totally cha^tp thesportssection.^djairned thepeoplesection sideways. And we gaveyou asectionyou canfoldright out.

We almostwent crazycreatingthis book, forcreationis what it was. We startedwith nothingbut240blank pages, an empty coverand alimitedbudget; and we began toputthelife of this schoolon those pages.

You helped us make this book—simply by being who you are and doing what you do. You, thestudentbody, arewhat Selah is aboutandfor.

There are probably a few mistakes here and there throughout the book becausewe'renotomniscientand, althoughGod helped us outalot, He didn'tcome down and check thefinal proofsfor us. Butpleaseenjoythis book. We made itfor you (and forus), and we made itasarepresentationofLibertyUniversity toall who may read it.

We want the world to know we are unequalled, we are matchless ... w eare offthewall.
