THE SENA TE Much has happened in Student Government this year. We have seen a great deal accomplished. The Senate enacted some twelve bills during this entire school year. The major ones were a resolution asking the United States not to ratify the Genocide treaty, a resolution asking for a later curfew rule on special occasions. Also passed was a resolution on our student lounge, a resolution regarding senior exemptions from finals, and a resolution regarding the energy crisis. These are just a few of the major bills which have had the most effect on student life. This year in the Senate, we have kept accurate records of bills and attendances for future student reference. The attendance this year has been tremendous. In some 30 meetings, we have failed to have a quorum only four times. All in all, the Senate has been very productive this year, and we thank God for all those Senators who, along with Jerry Powell and myself, worked this year. Respectfully in His Name, Boa STEARS x President Pro- Tempore 40

During the '73-'74 school year, the spiritual outreach of American Christian College grew considerably. A bus ministry was started through the students of the college. This ministry influenced countless young and old people alike, providing regular transportation to over 20 young people so they could attend services of the Church of the Christian Crusade. Students also started regular services for' five nursing homes, three every week, and another two on alternate weeks. This was possible only through the enthusiasm and faithfulness of the five nursing home leaders: Rick Barker, Albert Lipscomb, Gerda Krediet, David Dock and Gary Douglas. It's been a blessing to both the elderly people of the homes and students of the college. Also during the year, under the direction of Albert Lipscomb, a children's story hour was conducted for many weeks in a nearby apartment complex. And, under the direction of Jody Marchman, a witnessing booth has been set up at Southroads Mall in Tulsa, where students have had the privilege of witnessing for God and Country. During the Tulsa State Fair, students went out through the midway in teams, witnessing for ten days about the joy of the Lord. Numerous campaigns of witnessing expeditions, with personal contact with the public, have been blessings for both the students and those with whom they came in contact. Students have also found out what a wonderful experience it is to grow in the Lord on a daily basis. Thanks to Rick Barker, Co-Chaplain of the student body, devotions have been held five times a week at 7:30 a.m. And, of course, countless ones have been blessed in the evening devotions, conducted every evening at 9 olclock in Christ's Church Chapel, thanks to a nucleus of faithful students providing the dynamics of the spiritual power on campus. -eu1lQ,4,0,,,4,Zf-Q47 Rev.

THE HOUSE OF CREPRESENTATIVES The ten members of the House of Representatives held weekly meetings at which current political issues and school problems were discussed. Legislation was passed dealing with both areas. Several joint meetings of the House and Senate were called. Patterned after the American system, our student body government has provided an educational service in acquainting students with the mechanics of our Federal Government. Eight students were given the privilege of representing American Christian College at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature fO.I.L.J where they, along with delegates from other Oklahoma colleges, represented the voice of Oklahoma 's collegians. Last but not least, I would like to say thanks to the House members for their devotion and faithful support. Sincerely in Christ, ' 777 C JERRY McKlNNEY Speaker of the House 41
