about seeing the movie, because
she was excited but is sometimes
shaken by gore.
“When I usually see graphic
movies, I can disassociate
myself and say this isn’t really
happening it is on a set,”
Andrews said. “But because I
am a Christian and believe this
really actually happened it is
going to hit me a lot harder than
normal movies would.”
Andrews said she was anxious
to see how the ending with the
resurrection would be handled.
Mary Wesson, a sophomore
psychology major, said the movie
exceeded all her expectations and
is the best movie she has ever seen.
“The ending was perfect,”
Wesson said. “That is what hap
pened. That is how Christ was
treated and though most
Christians are aware of that., it is
nice to have a little reminder what
he had to go through for us.”
Many people leaving were dry
ing tears as they passed the long
lines waiting to take their seats.
“I hadn’t expected to cry,”
said Misty Gwin, a sophomore
biology major. “It was incredibly
emotional. The graphic nature of
it pulls at your emotions.”
Gwin said she didn’t notice
the movie varying from the Bible,
but that she wasn’t looking for
differences.
“I was really getting the
whole message of it,” Gwin said.
“I see it as an accurate portrayal,
but 1 was trying to absorb the
whole message rather than the
details.”
Gwin said seeing the movie put
the story of Christ in a new light.
“I was kind of amazed; I had
never thought that much about the
words,” Gwin said. “The sight is
so much different than the words;
it is there, you are experiencing it
instead of just hearing it.”

In response to strong stu
dent remarks. Perry told stu
dents of a dorm he stayed in
during his college years that
he compared to Hotard
because if its spirit. The dorm
was later torn down for devel
opment purposes.
The forum provided an
opportunity for members of the
on-campus community to stand
together and to let the adminis
tration know how they felt
about certain decisions, said
Chris Mahaffey, president of
the Resident Hall Association.
“If anything was accom
plished (it was that) the admin
istration does understand now
a little bit more that they're
not just reallocating a build
ing,” Mahaffey said. “They're
taking people’s homes away.”
“I’m like, ’Oh, victon:
There’s more to this »
than just the violence.!
about triumph.”
In New Jersey, 90-yean
Edna Oatman of Pleasannj
dressed in her Sunday

since “E.T. The Eiti

“If you read the Biblesiii
you know that Jesus died foil

Christians,” said Oatman,
