1975 PRICKLY PEAR Abilene Christian College Abilene, Texas •- . Volume 60 2 —OPENING The Hill. We come here as a myriad of faces and remain together for one brief moment in our lifetime. Working together as Christian individuals we search and learn and grow. Accepting the diversity of our personalities and our intellects, we stand unified by a unique spirit of brotherhood and love. If we should lose that spirit, then we’ve lost the meaning we came searching for. OPENING —3 The significance of the time, the place and the institution is different for each of us, as is the education we seek. Yet, the singularity of the time, the uniqueness of the place, and the strong abiding spirit of the institution will work to mold the future of every student. Some may choose to ignore this catalyst, but their rejection will not refute its effect on their lives or their lifestyles. ■ — OPENING V?,- OPENING —5 The merit of Abilene Christian College as an educational institution cannot be determined by the value of its physical facilities nor by its academic reputation. Its worth can only be measured by the effectiveness of the ministries pursued by its students. 6 —OPENING OPENING — ' Marilyn reigns as 1974 queen Marilyn Montgomery was crowned Homecoming Queen Saturday, Octo- ber 19, in Moody Coliseum.

DON — We should have more emphasis at ACC on aca- demics. There should be a lot more emphasis on academic scholarships and not on scholarships for athletics. DALE — Amen! I've talked to various people and always gotten the feedback that academics is really not as impor- tant as our social life . . . “College is just not all study and books . . But you can get the other things at other places. Academics is the reason for being here and you should be able to put more emphasis on that than anything ROXANNE — There's got to be a balance. I think one problem that this school has is that we have one corner of studying scholars and then you have students who are here to play. There aren't a lot of good well-rounded stu- dents who have a decent grade point and have learned decent amount and yet still have some decent fun. People seem to be on one end or the other. 1 know that's some- thing I struggle with right now. I think one thing tbs would help is if ACC would encourage scholarship as Don said with more scholarship money, and recognize student who study and learn and improve their minds not jus1 their bodies. DON — Just the other day for instance, we had a girl with a 3.941 gpa and she was only going to get a S125 scholar- ship. That's going to pay for books for one semester. CHERYL — Do you think that most students at ACC look at it that way? DALE —No. CASEY — Most students are here to have a blast! SARA — I think most of them know that it should be the primary emphasis. It's just that they don't always act like DALE — There is one man I know in the Bible department who is really disappointed in the students overall because he said that they don't put any kind of emphasis on what ROXANNE — I know a girl who is a National Merit semi- finalist. She was offered full scholarships to other place but she's here on a work” scholarship. They gave her th® opportunity to work in the English department. I thin they gave her two hours a week and she gets about 8250 semester. She's here because she wants to be and that her freedom, but it's not really fair that she has to sacrifi0® that much. DALE — 1 thought the Optimist” was quite forward an justifiably so in its last issue when they talked about thi - They just listed the scholarships in each department- When it got down to the athletic department, it was iuS slightly unbalanced. What changes have you observed n students' attitudes toward the Students' Association? ROXANNE — I don’t know if I’ve got the right concept of student senate but my concept of it was that it’s literally a student government, and that we were there to make stu- dent life better; to help the academics, to help the social atmosphere, that in general we were a small government. This year, we’ve been a charity organization. I don’t think uiat s the policy, or the position, or the business of senate. The attitude of students seems to be that senate is a char- Jty organization; a fun thing, a social thing. 1 know a lot of kids who have this attitude. I’ve noticed it more this year than last year. They don’t respect senate. They don’t axpect senate to do anything. They say the administration 18 iust sitting on it anyway. SARA — I think that most of the students feel like “What good does it do to get in there? That was very noticeable ih.s week in the elections and in the number of people who ran. th LE 1 musl disagree with the whole altitude about ls‘ This is the first year I’ve considered running for sen- ?.,e and it is because of the things the Students' Associa- •on has done this year. I really feel very strongly about the t 'ii-0 ‘S 1 8- seems to be what the students have been a|king about for years, but just never got anything con- crete pm down on paper. I have noticed people running or senate from our class who have shunned the system before. The system accomplished nothing more than look- ing at speed bumps and checking Coke machines, instead of things that they felt were really important, like student rights. I think that we are going forward, not necessarily in that more people are involved but that there's a different type of student getting involved. It's not just a social thing CANDY — Do you think that it takes something like the Sing Song controversy that blew up and got everybody involved, something that most of us were against but something that got us to thinking? Watergate wasn't exactly the healthiest thing for our nation but at least it got people involved again. It got them thinking. Maybe that's what has happened here. It takes something big to get everybody involved again. DALE — 1 think that the important aspect of the Sing Song thing was the students realized that they can do some- thing, something more important than just study. They can have a say in what they do. even if it takes a radical step GRANT — As far as the attitudes of the students, it seems to me that this problem kind of permeates the whole atmosphere. I guess as the leaders have emerged, if they are the types of leaders with the kinds of ideas and inno- vative change that is needed to gel people involved, that's really the most effective way of getting things done. ROXANNE — Dale, it almost sounded like you thought that the business of the senate is not things like speed bumps and Coke machines. To me, that is very much the business of senate. Anything that can help the students. DALE — That's what I meant. ROXANNE — I want the students to feel free to come to senate with their complaints and suggestions. JANEY — 1 was just appalled at what Kelly did, and that's only natural I guess. That was just an immediate reaction. After I thought about it and about why he did it, I thought well, maybe he can get something done. Something does need to be done about the speed bumps and the Coke machines and things like that. I don't agree with the way he tried to do it. but what else was there? Let's call off the dinner theater! That wouldn't get too far! I do think that he could have gone about it in a different way. ROXANNE — Most of the senators heard rumors but not many of us really knew what was going to happen. I would like to have seen him tell us. Then those who 179 DALE — I think that it did open a precedent for ACC in showing that action can be taken that is different and new. saying No, we don't want this. It's physical action but it's still not knocking through windows. We have the feel- ing at ACC that any authority is from God. We don't want to buck any authority, even when that authority is wrong. Is the abundance of specialized organizations on campus an indication of more involvement or of the need felt by students to fit in socially? DON — Thai's very true, but you're going to start pairing off whether you're in a club or not. DALE — I hang around with a lot of Galaxy guys among club people. When I'm with a group of them, I have people come up to me and say What are you doing with those Because they know the way I feel about clubs. They just don't connect things. It is true that we did a lot of things together when we were freshmen, but you just don't do them after they get in club. DON — It's not entirely clubs though, I don't see friends of mine who are biology majors because they hang around with biology majors. It's the same all the way down the to socially fit in. The same thing is true with a service organization. A lot of people have it in their minds I just want to fit in. so I'll join.” but a lot of them do join to serve. DALE — You can ask anybody who has tried to do things and get involved at this school without being in a social club and find out that it's not easy. It's changing, because the school is getting larger and the social clubs are begin- ning to be less important than they used to be. But when I first came to school it was much harder and still is very ROXANNE — I think that it’s hilarious that people think that if you’re not in a social club that you don't have any- better do what you want to do. It's interesting to me. and I'm not using this in the degrading sense, but it's just like animals. Chickens get off in their little pecks. Cattle in a field are off in their little groups, the black ones will be over here and the red ones over there. I don't know why kids don't just go ahead and admit it. “Yes. I feel a need to fit in to some group and I want to do it. Instead they seem to feel this need to rationalize it into all these good things that clubs do. Why not just say it's fun and forget it. SARA — At other schools, they let freshmen be in social clubs, and I'm very thankful that ACC doesn't. CASEY — It gives you something to look forward to. ROXANNE — The freshman year is so special. You can do things that year you'll never do again. DALE — And with people you'll never do them with again. You see them, but you don't do as much with them Are most attempts to improve spiritual life aimed at building an atmosphere of spirituality or at trying to aid individuals in their spiritual growth? CASEY — Spiritual life in the dorm at ACC was not what I expected it to be. I thought, everybody at ACC is neat and they don't cuss, and they don't drink and they don't smoke and they don't etcetera! I think many people are fooled about it too. Something needs to be done about spiritual life on campus. grant_______n- Church anA A A V°U C°me fr°m 3 '°Wn 'ha' had 3 large lot? dld you 8el inv°Ived with the church group a lion YeS’ 1 didl We lad ahout 300 in our congrega- a toJT, ' lal wasn 1 m.V case.

DALE — My freshman year here was probably the great- est struggle I've ever had in my life, spiritually. Before. I had been a light in the darkness: I came here and fell like a match in a forest fire. I feel that we all need that constant struggle with the world to keep us sharp, and to keep us close to the Lord. Here we get so much from each other that the relationship with the Lord is not quite as energetic as it should be. I think the school has aided that by trying to have such a sheltered atmosphere: by trying to keep you taking Bible classes, trying to keep you going to chapel every day and trying to keep you having spiritual activities so that you're not really facing any real worldly challenges right there every day. Consequently it kind of rots under- CANDY — What really hurts me in my spiritual life, more than anything I can think of is to come here, and heave a sigh of relief. I can come here and finally I'm around some decent people and then I go home to L.A. and there is ever- ything I’ve tried to get away from and tried to live without and that I think is wrong. It's just all around me, surround- ing me. and it's hard. I wonder what we're going to do when we graduate and get a job in who-knows-where was baptized and it's been just great ever since, and I've loved it. I don't want to graduate. I love it here, and I don’t care if everybody says we're isolated. I'd rather have this isolation than L.A. or anything. The Hill is often accused of being an isolated community within itself. Whether or not this is true, since the accusation is a frequent one, students do allow themselves to be cut off from the outside world. How can this trap be avoided? CHERYL — I think this question is tied in closely with the last one. I see two different sides here, I was raised in Col- orado. where the church was smaller. I went to a high school with 2300 students and only five Christians. I was used to that type of atmosphere. I moved to Texas a year before I came to ACC so when I came here as a freshman I had both backgrounds fresh on my memory. When stu- dents come here from places where there has never been any sort of a bolstering for them, anywhere out of the “Bible Belt,” I can see why they find in ACC, a haven. At the same time, people have the misguided conception that it's easy to be a Christian here and I don't think it is. I think it s hard to be a Christian here because there appear to be fewer challenges. CASEY — You are asking the question, how can it be avoided, and 1 don't think it can. If you're going to go to a place where it is like this, there's no way you can avoid DALE — You can't ship in problems so you have to keep pare to go out and meet these problems. But you have to yourself get slack, because you know that you are going to have to be sharp for it. You can't be lax like you’ve been DON — Another consideration is that because we are on the hill, we are truly isolated. I didn't realize how much are many problems in this town that we do absolutely nothing about that we could do something about. We are all too content to sit up here and talk about the problems have opportunities right here. I don't just mean shelling out money for Christmas for Children or Play Day for Children twice a year either. It's more involved than that, ROXANNE — I think isolation is a good thing as long as to let you get some deep roots founded in the Word. Then you’re ready to go out. I think it's a bad thing if it serves as a hothouse and you become more of a hybrid. Then when the first wind hits you when you get out. you're gone. That's what I feel like here. I feel like I'm in a hothouse. CASEY — This summer I'm going to be working at Sunny Glen Children's Home. It's an orphans' home and there are some really bad off kids there who have had a lot of prob- lems, things that people like us haven't had to deal with. I don't know how I'm going to handle that because I've never been involved with it and being here hasn't helped me that much. But for me it will be a strength knowing that there are people, the kids here at ACC, who are around whom I can look forward to coming back to and to be renewed and restrengthened. Then maybe after four years, I’ll be ready to leave. SARA — I'm more isolated at home than I am here. My environment at home is just so protected that even here at ACC where some kids just feel so protected, I feel like I'm looking at more of the real world than before in high GRANT — I don't think we know what reality is when we're at home. We've got a house, Mom cooks the meals and we just don't have to worry about it. 182 Presently, there is a trend in legislation which is forcing ACC and other private institutions to liberalize some of their regulations in order to continue receiving government funds. How do you feel this trend will affect ACC's traditional Church of Christ identity and do you think the change will be good or bad? — We found ways of at least maintaining that Church of Christ image for certain people, primarily alumni, before. I don't think it's going to change all that ptuch, and the changes we are making I could hardly call liberalization. Next year the guys are going to be locked in the dorms. Candy — Well that doesn't have anything to do with ”ein8 Church of Christ does it? CASEY — It’s traditional. Don — That's one of the things that we say makes us a Church of Christ school; we can lock people in the dorms. DALE — Next year because of the constitution we have to start locking the guys in the dorm too. DON — And I can hardly call that liberalization. ROXANNE — This word liberalize, when 1 look at it, that means loosen. Sometimes that is good, and sometimes that is bad, to free. Does that word spell sin to most people. DALE — In the Church of Christ. DON — No, not necessarily in the Church of Christ, in any ROXANNE — I just wondered if we could come up with some different word that means the same thing as liberal- ize that wouldn't scare everybody so much. smoke in the dorms, if we have it so that nobody can smoke, that wouldn't be liberalizing, it would be going the other direction. GRANT — What amazes me. is how certain congregations will accept people into membership who would not be allowed to go to school here. I've thought about that a lot. If people went to any church and wanted to place mem- had a beard or because they smoked. Pictured: Below — Cheryl Mann.

They should be administrators and here I think that they’re try- ing to take over and do what the parents should have DON — That's getting back to the first question again: Academics. Is this what this college is for. academics, or for trying to raise kids that parents couldn't raise? CASEY — I think a lot of parents send their kids here to 183 How do you picture yourselves as alumni? What kind of influence do you want to have on the ACC campus? What kind of influence do you think you should have? DON — One thing I would love to do as an alumnus is SARA — 1 hope that when I am an alumnus. I will remem- DON — I really imagine everybody has said that down through the years, but it is just hard to do. CANDY — When you become an alumnus, the kids at ACC are going to be completely different than when you were here and you are going to feel like you know what you are doing. I am sure our alumni feel that they know what they are doing when they give gifts and put stipula- tions on them. 1 am sure that the administration knows what it's doing in running this college. I don't think we are going to be super-alumni and please everybody. I think and the kids at ACC. ROXANNE — What business is it of theirs what is going on at this school? GRANT — 1 am going to make it my business. I just found out that I can't be on the Board of Trustees because I am not a resident of Texas and because of state laws. But 1 want to get back and get involved. 1 can see a lot of poten- tial in this school and it is because I have been a student here. I couldn't have known that unless I attended school. DON — You see. the people that run things the most are the ones who put the most money in it. I guess really and truly if 1 sunk a million dollars. I would want to see what I could do to influence decisions. DALE — I would like to go on record as at least one stu- dent who strongly disagrees with the administration's plea that the school exists just as equally for the students, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni. If you're going to have a school, have it to teach people, that's the students- The school exists for the student, for their betterment. Which of the many crises in the world today is going to have the most drastic effect on young people's attitudes toward the Church? What steps should we take to impress upon them the relevancy of the gospel of these problems? ROXANNE — I think all of them are going to. The Bible and Christianity is relevant to everything that goes on in the world. We are having a lot of problems with the junior and senior high school kids at home. You can talk to these kids and they just look at you with blank eyes. They must know the gospel, but somewhere we've missed. CASEY — Young people tend to get discouraged with the church because of its traditionalizations and social aspects. They see dinner on the grounds and parties after Sunday night worship, but do they see knocking doors and taking the gospel to the world? No. I feel like if the older people would get interested in something like this, young won't do it first, but somebody has got to give. GRANT — I think most of us are cowards. There is one thing I hardly ever see practiced and that is fellowship- haven't seen many people when they have a disagreement go and tell that person. Most of us would rather get with 8 little group and say Look. I feel this way.” That brings division in the church. DALE — Persecution makes you strong. It is a fire- weeds out the bad things, but makes the good things bet ter. Peter talks about this and it is talked about all through the Bible. I think as some of these issues become dominan1 and take a strong hold on America, that we will see some growth among people who finally decide that they have to lean on God. They can't lean on America. When we get n that point, the people in the Church who are the chaff w™ ' be burned away and the people who are the wheat will b« 184 At one time, the American Dream was to be the proud, middle class owner of a house, two cars, three kids and enough prestige to be recognized on Main Street. Do you think this idea has changed? If so, what kind of long-range goals are students setting for themselves today? Harried and he wants to be a policeman and live in a very ence. He wants to help people by being a policeman. That's one example of a high set goal, but it can be accom- plished.

I want to live my life however it turns out. When I am 90 years old. I want to be cheery, bright. Christian. non- Fossilite,” open- minded. ready to learn, still looking ahead to the future and planning and being creative. DALE — The things 1 have heard are good and they are things you want to do, but the goals I feel like all of us should set as Christians are to crucify ourselves for other union with Christ. And if in that way you can make Christmas presents for everyone in your house, or by visit- ing the orphans, then that is pure religion. That is the completely crucify himself for others' interests. QUESTION — How long have you been associated with ACC and in what capacities? BEAUCHAMP — I've been at Abilene Christian College since September, 1946. I was assistant coach for three years and then I moved to Midland, Texas for one year. That was the 1949 school year. Then I came back in 1950 when I became Dean of Students in which position I pres- QUESTION — When were you a student? BEAUCHAMP — From 1937 through 1941. QUESTION — Since you've been here, I know you've observed a lot of changes in ACC. What changes have you observed in the attitudes of students toward the social life BEAUCHAMP — Social life has changed primarily because of the economic changes that have taken place. For instance, when I was in school, there were only three automobiles on campus owned by students living on cam- pus. Certainly that meant that crossing the street to the Malt Bar was about the only recreation other than hitch hiking downtown. This meant that everyone knew every- one. Then when I came back in 1946, after the war. the influx of veterans changed the social life, many of them being married. The main thrust was on campus entertain- ment, movies and this sort of thing, however the automo- bile helped the students to become more mobile and travel home more. From a spiritual standpoint, 1 really felt when I was a student that there was a good spiritual atmosphere on campus. After the war, the veterans helped to stabilize this influence and there was an appreciation for the good things that we had here on campus. The Tuesday nigh devotionals were well attended. We had regular church attendance and this kind of thing which in my opinion has been outstanding through the years. QUESTION: How do you see students' attitudes today? BEAUCHAMP — I think their attitudes are good. They are more independent than they were in years past. 1 think tel- evision has made a change in some attitudes, in that stu- dents are not as dependent on other students. I think they are less conscious of the needs of their fellow student than in the past because they feel like everyone can buy whatever they need. There's not the oneness in going out for the individuals and showing as much empathy ® think this is because of numbers and mobility of students- Students are busier. I'm not implying by that that student Beauchamp — I think the reasons for seeking an educa- ,0n have changed. There was a time which I remember '[ery Vvell when the attitude was. If we don’t get an educa- ‘°n, we won’t be able to get a job. That was the primary 0 iective: to make a living. I think today there is more Phasis on self-improvement. I don’t think as many stu- ents are worried about their day-to-day livelihood. I lnk that parents are providing the income and making it Possible for these things to be met. I sincerely hope that s udents realize, and I feel that they do. the importance of 3n location. It is not just a status thing, but a good feeling fnd a sense of security that they have as a result of secur- m8 an education. QUESTION — Should academics be the primary empha- SlS of college life? Beauchamp — Academics must be high in the list of QUESTION — Do you believe that young people's reasons r seeking an education have changed or are changing, a°d if so. what dc you think they were in the past and 'hat are they now? °n t have the character, I think their interests have changed. QUESTION: The hill has been accused for years of being an isolated community within itself. Whether or not this is true, since the accusation is a frequent one. many students do' allow themselves to be cut off from the outside world. How can this trap be avoided? BEAUCHAMP — I happen to be one that believes that'it is very important to share in community activities. I've served on the city council. I serve on two boards down at the city and I'm a member of a civic organization. I really from our area on the City Council almost every year, and on most of the boards downtown. I think our people serve in a fine way and I don't believe the charge is justified that QUESTION — How about from the students' point of view, sometimes the students feel that being here at ACC, they are protected here in a little shell, that the school is really sort of their little town within the town, and that they are isolated from the real world. How do you think students can avoid this? BEAUCHAMP — I'm sure that some students do feel that they are cut off by virtue of the fact that they are in school and so many activities are held on the hill and they meet so few people downtown and at the other institutions. more involved in their immediate program than they are outside. QUESTION — Traditionally, ACC has been strictly iden- tified as a Church of Christ school. Presently there is � trend in legislation which is forcing ACC and other private schools to liberalize some of their regulations in order I° continue receiving government funds. How do you feel that this trend will affect ACC's traditional Church of Christ identity and do you think the changes will be good or bad? BEAUCHAMP — Well first. I am opposed to government restrictions as such on the regulations of private schools-1 think that there is only one other area, that being national defense that Congress is spending more time discussing than they are education. I think education is the number two question in our country today. I realize that there are some things in Title 9 which is the non-discrimination ad that are causing some changes.

The students, the parents, the faculty. administration, alumni and friends of the college; I think it takes all of these ingredients to make a school. I think the alumni certainly have a right to have their input into the thinking as far as the school is concerned, because it is their school as well as being the students' school and the parents' and all the rest of us who make up the school. So I think that only as we consider the other segments t make up the school, that’s where alumni fit in to the ov all picture. I don't think the alumni should set policy. I think their thoughts and interests should be considered along with all of the others in making this the kind c school that we'd all like to have. QUESTION — Which of the many crises in the world today is going to have the most drastic effect on young people’s attitudes toward the church? What steps should we take to impress upon them the relevancy of the gospel BEAUCHAMP — It would be difficult to say which o has the greatest influence. I would like to think that the students would put Christ first in their lives. I think in order to do this, it's necessary to forget some of the afflu- ence, not only the students' but others' and consider more the fellowship and friendship that we share here on the campus, while the students are engaging in serious pursuit of an education, training to be good productive citizens when they leave. I think that all of these crises have a real bearing and play an important role. I think we should strive to live exemplary lives ourselves. tude. and a love for Christ in our dealing with each other. We can quote scripture all day. We can require attend- ance at services but unless we demonstrate that there is a Christian attitudes and experiences with others. I don't QUESTION — At one time, the American Dream was to be the proud, upper middle class owner of a house, three kids, two cars and enough prestige to be recognized on Main Street. Do you think that this idea has changed and what kind of long range goals do you see students setting for themselves today? BEAUCHAMP — I think that students still should think in terms of providing for their own household and by that it is necessary that they be willing to work. That work begins while they are students in school, preparing them- selves to hold a job when they get out. I think that students are interested in the comforts of this life, not the luxuries, and not all of it without work, but I think that students are still going to have to recognize the fact that it's not going to come easy. I personally feel that students are more serious today about their education than they were five or six years ago. I think one thing that has proven that is that since the draft has been lifted and students are not concerned about the military service, you find that students are continuing in while some that weren't interested in an education other than just to stay out of the service have dropped out. I think that overall there's been an improvement in the quality of students in the last five years. QUESTION — What do you see in the future for ACC? I think that our alumni are loyal to the school. In that our enrollment is nine percent above last year, we have a good indication that there are a good number of students who will be with us this fall. When we complete the Don H- Morris Center for the Communicating Arts then our build ing program will be in good shape and we won't have to be on another drive for an expenditure here and we can have more of an enrichment program of the courses thal we are offering. So all in all. I think the future looks real bright. It's not without problems, There are economic problems on the horizons today and of course nationally' there are some problems that confront us that we are going to have to face, but I think from the standpoint of education that Abilene Christian College faces the greatest days in the future. QUESTION: Do you have any other comments you'd like to make? BEAUCHAMP - I think ACC has a bright future. I think s and many students are looking and will be it kind of BEAUCHAMP — The greatest experience that I have ' each September seeing the Students arrive back a,Jjr enthusiasm.
