LUNDBERG Managing Editor Some people will go almost any- where for what they believe. Darci Davis is one of those people. Darci, of Newberry Estates in Dallas, recently returned from a three week trip with a missionary group to Hong Kong, China, and the Phillipines. Darci travled with LIGHT Inter- nationals, a Christian group at Lib- erty University in Lynchburg, VA. The group performed in Manila at various churchs, and mixed with the crowds that gathered to talk about the gospel. She was with a group of 15 people who lived and worked with mission- aries in Manila. They traveled with an interpreter and were often invited into peoples homes for dinner and conversation. The expe- - rience was a first hand view of others religious beliefs and life- styles. “The people in Manila were very friendly, and received us very well. Dr. Brassard named top Dr. Deborah Brassard, assistant professor of English at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, received the campus’ highest teaching honor with the presentation of the 1988 Hayfield Award at recent ceremonies. The Hayfield Award is given by the Student Government Associa- tion ‘‘to the faculty member selected by the SGA as the out- standing instructor for the aca- demic year. The award is based on a combination of teaching excel- lence and contribution to the gen- eral welfare of students at the campus.” Dr. Brassard has been on the faculty at Penn State Wilkes-Barre since 1984, having previously taught at Purdue University, where she received her Ph.D., in English lit- erature language in 1984. She also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Boston University, a Master’s degree from Boston College, both in English literature and language. Dr. Brassard is certified by the American Society of Clinical Hyp- nosis, and offers workshops in self- hypnosis for students and faculty, and directs a group hypnosis pro- gram directed at improving stu- dent’s study skills and exam per- formance. For the past two summers, she has also conducted a program for learning disabled stu- Darci Davis They took the gospel tracts we offered, and tried to give us some- thing in return. It is a hospitable culture.’’said Dareci. In the communist country of China and in Hong Kong, Darci’s group presented themselves as a tourist group and not as missionar- dents at College Misericordia enti- tled “Using Hypnosis to Improve Writing Skills for the Traditional and Learning Disabled Student.” She is a member of the National Council of Teachers of English, the Modern Language Association, the American Association of University Professors, the New England Society of Clinical It vpuosts, Nor- ies. They were not permitted to do concerts there, but instead went out into public places to present: their message to thosc willing to listen. “I believe some people in China | were suspicious of us because our .soms were bugged. But most people there were very curious and considered us friends” she said. Darci traveled to Kenya and Uganda last year also with LIGHT Internationals. They visited tribal villages, and were almost trampled by the village children who were so eager to get closer to them. Next year she plans a missionary trip to Brazil with the group, but is unde- cided what long range missionary work she may undertake in the future. “The trip made me appreciate even more the freedom most people take for granted in America.”’she said.

Her trip was funded by the Fellowship Evangeli- cal Free Church in Dallas. instructor theaster Pennsylvania Writing Council, and the Pennsylvania Association of Developmental Edu- cators.
