In order to find out why students chose BCC and what they think of the school, the Cutlass staff Sent questionnaires to the dorm students. Out of over 500 question- naires handed out, only 46 were returned. Russell Annex residents returned the most - 18 in fact. South dorm came in a close second with 17 returned. North dorm resi- dents returned 11, but only residents of the first two floors received questionnaires. Surprisingly, no men returned their ques- tionnaires. ...M .1 Are they apathetic? I don't know, but keep in mind that this article is written from a feminine point of view. In response to why did you come to BCC? most of the responses fell into six categories.

Other complaints included shabby dorm rooms fespecially in Russell Eastj, problems with the Business Office, lack of open house, racial prejudice, and strict rules. Dian Nixon, a junior, took the tactful way out of this query by pleading the fifth amendment. Students want many changes on cam- pus. Included in these are: open house, better food service fmeals and serving hoursj, better living conditions in the dorms, and the formation of a football team. Opinions of BCC ranged from no comment to l Love It! For the most part, the respondants to the question- naires do love Baptist College. Yvonne Hiott, a sophomore, stated her opinion in this manner, Overall, it's a good school. It has good points and bad points, but I know it is the school for me life,'l3
