IK , le 5mm ieuaiwwm a . Excitement llWeekends always give me a chance to rest u from a hard week of studies 1,; letting loose and having fun. - Caroline Gist hile homework, projects and term papers filled some weekends, most weekends were designed for fun. The Stu- dent Association offered movies on Friday and Saturday nights for under $2 .00 admis- sion fee. They also brought live entertain- ment to the campus such as the Wright Brothers, juggler Edward Jackman, and comedian Andy Andrews. uEdward Jackman was funny, exciting. enjoyable and everything else rolled up in to one. His bizarre style of being a juggler and comedian combined made his show fantastic. I especially enjoyed when he balanced the lO-speed bike on his head and when he juggled a bowling ball, machete, and apple all at once. It was so crazy that it was funny! said Kathy Orme. However students sometimes wanted off campus. They would go to the Rialto or the Rand for Searcy entertainment or McCain Mall for North Little Rock entertainment. llWhen I needed a break from Searcy Stuffing her face.

Worth, TX, in the back of a cramped Toyota, to see my girlfrrend. Because I found a ride home, I just couldnit pass up the opportunity, said Scott Kirkpatrick. Despite the fun times the weekends of- fered, sometimes homework and laundry jsut could not be avoided. The prime time for laundry was Sunday afternoon about one olclock as the students packed in with their clothes trying to find an empty washer. On Sunday nights after church, students almost always did homework. thDespite if I studied all weekend or played all weekend I always had some homework to do after Sunday night church?

Honorary speakers at, lectureship This was a Ihow-toI lectureship that was very practical concerning evangelism in the local churc . a Eddie Cloer escue the Perishing, was the theme of the 64th annual Bible Lectureship held on October 4-7. Eddie Cloer directed the event, serving for his fifth year in that position. The Lectureship featured 45 speakers as compared to last yearis 27 and boasted approximately 120 presentations during the four-day period. Cloer said, IIThe Lectureship's theme was along the line of a soul-winning workshop, and that is what we wanted? Four key speakers were selected for the evening presentations of the Lectureship: Jerry Rushford, from Agoura Hills, CA, Jeff Walling, from Mission Viejo, CA, Harold Hazelip, from Nashville, TN, and C. Bruce White, from Jolton, TN. Speaking Stewart. A reception honoring three speakers, Jule L. Miller, Owen D. Olbn'cht, and I van Stewart was heId in the cafeten'a during lec- tureship week.

First, more classes per day were scheduled: 33 for a total of 99 classes during the week. Also, each speaker delivered his messages on the same day, in- stead of spacing his lectures over the three- day period, as in the past. This allowed those speakers who could not stay for the entire event to come just for his day of l e s s o n s . Secondly, the lectw'eship Book, publish- ed yearly, contained all lectures and classes from the week unlike last year. Cloer said, ItThis is the first time, to my knowledge, that all the lessons have been published in the yearly book. Also this is the closest thing to a Iisoul-winning workshop book that has ever been prin Finally, a special appreciation dinner was held in the Downtown Church of Christ for Jule L. Miller, Owen D. Gilbricht, and Ivan Stewart, all believed by Cloer to be IIThIee men who have probably contributed more to awakening the brotherhood to personal evangelism than anybody else. $ch Oadd 6t! 1 went to hear the inspires ing Tim Laws speak en youth ministry He had come to my home church when I was a senior in high school so When I heard that 3113,: WQuld be speaking at the lee- tureship I knew I had to hear him wkkjm Lectureship Student Lift- 21
