It I i Once upon a time there was a school named Bryan College. And when your Grandpa was — oh, maybe a few years older than you are, he went to that school . . . down in the hills of Ten- nessee, near the town of Dayton. I ' ll betcha he ' d go back there today if he wasn ' t stuck to this old chair. Some day Grandpa will tell you about what happened in the courthouse of that town, but to- day he ' s going to tell about a year when he was a schoolboy — back in 1973-4. NO LOVE, NO FRIENDSHIP ' .a It was a small school then — no more than 500, I ' m sure. We all knew each other pretty well; and because we were small, we could do a lot of things together. Down in what we called the Lion ' s Den people could play ping pong or pool, watch TV, eat, talk, or study if they felt like it. And for out-of-doors activities there were places called Blue Hole, Fall Creek Falls, Piney, where you could hike or swim or have a picnic ... it all made for some good times and mighty close friends. CAN EVER CROSS THE PATH . . . But, of course, as friends we not only played, but we worked together, uniting our interests in athletics, music, drama, and most important — organizations which carried our Christian witness into the area around the school. We functioned as groups and we functioned as individuals, each having his own sched- ule to meet. There were many goals — one which we all shared was a liberal arts education. FALL SCHEDULE W3 00 OF OUR DESTINY And it was hard work, mind you. There were lots of assign- ments, papers, tests, and exams, and it seemed that they ' d never end. But I ' ll tell you, the book that gave some of us the worst problems was that old student handbook where they kept all the rules — and if you didn ' t obey them, you ' d sure be in for a heap o ' trouble. Well, that ' s all part of going to college.

A lot of us left with dark circles under our eyes from too much studying — but there were diplomas and grades to show for them. And some of us got engagement rings (and maybe gave them back later on). But most of the things that we got we couldn ' t see, because they were fixed in our minds and in our hearts. ea BL0R1FIED ' KICHCS fifth ' s QorifSfi ■ FOREVER fit And we took them away with us, and we ' ve kept them with us tor many years.

MP n i w. H THE YEAR . V 3ff W I 71 L ■ Getting Ready for 73-74 It ' s August 25th and we ' re coming back. The campus has already started to awaken from its summer hibernation. Faculty and staff have come sev- eral days earlier to make preparations and to orient themselves before the arrival of disoriented Freshmen. Joys and Trials of Teaching is Rev. Donald C. Gra- ham ' s topic during the two day Faculty Workshop at Ben Johnson ' s cabin. Then the 121 Freshmen come with all their equip- ment. Mental gear is immediately employed during a series of aptitude and exemption tests. And emotion- al gear is put to use from the very first day in adapting to regulations, combating homesickness, making friends, withstanding frustrations, and adjusting to college curricula in general. The receptions at Dr. Mercer ' s house and at the First Baptist Church of Day- ton provide a means of getting acquainted and feeling more at home at school. UPPER LEFT: Rev. Graham talks with Faculty members at Johnson ' s Cabin. LOWER LEFT: Sue Dekker (center) and Kay Moore (right) are served punch at the Dayton Ministerial Association reception tor freshmen. LOWER CENTER: Freshmen struggle with aptitude tests at orientation. UPPER CENTER: Work continues slowly on the faculty offices until completion in early October. UPPER RIGHT: Miss Rus- sell ' s sign gives Freshmen a warm welcome. LOWER RIGHT: Fresh- men get acquainted at a reception at President Mercer ' s home. Opening Activities 19 Learning to Deal With Problems But these external preparations are not so impor- tant as the internal and the spiritual. So Rev. Marlin Hardman speaks to us in the Spiritual Life meetings about dealing with problems (claiming his major one to be the lack of sufficient hair). The thrust of his mes- sages can be summarized in the admonition he gives to Pray, really pray — sound advice, to be sure, for those in the throes of semester registration. The week comes to an end with a night of freshmen initiation rites. The Nazi regime of Colonel Zopfi and Pvt. Hughson, afraid that no one will attend their Kangaroo Court, posts required attendance and takes pleasure in jumping all over their dumkoft victims. With this we take a last breath of leisure and face the oncoming marathon of classes, homework, and tests. 20 Spiritual Life Meetings UPPER LEFT: Mr. Hardman says, It ' s not wrong to have a problem, but its wrong to keep it.

K.inf ,.iroo Court 21 President ' s Reception Dear Mom, Dad, and kids, ¥ 1 September 2, 1973 Can ' t believe I ' m writing another letter— I guess you can tell I ' m really homesick. Boy I think I ' d give almost anything to see something familiar again. Everything here is so foreign and DIFFERENT. Well you know in my last letter I told you about all those orientation meetings. Now you wouldn ' t believe what came up this week-end—it was called the President ' Reception, The purpose of this event was to give all the new kids the op-oortunity to meet the faculty and administration. So we got all dre?sed up (i wore that formal we bought just before I left) and they paired us up with blind dates, I ' m not going to tell all the details, but believe me it was weird. And weirdest of all was what they gave me for a date, First of all he looked like a 6th grader bom premature. He had horn-rimmed glasses, buck teeth, and his head must have just been sheared for the occasion, Made me sick. M Hfei Well we had to walk down the sidewalk together while all the upperclassmen stood around and threw rice and toilet paper (the rest were back in the dorms swallowing goldfish). Then we went into the main building wher the administration and faculty were lined up. They had this little routine where you introduced yourself to the first person and he introduced you to the next and so on down the line, smiling and nodding Japanese style. After that we went into a room where they had refreshments and a musical program. That was pretty good. Then, to my relief, Mr. Anemia took me back to the dorm and I spent the rest of the evening cleaning up the room (which was a total wreck from our getting ready), I know you ' ll be glad, Mom, that I ' m keeping my room clean. Besides this, everything is going O.K. : I ' ve met a lot of new people and am rather anxious for classes to begin. Trust all is well at that end. Will write later.

President ' s Reception 23 Return to Fall Creek Falls In keeping with the schedule of events which charac- terize the beginning of every school year, the student body once again finds itself at the all-school picnic — held at Fall Creek Falls State Park. The morning begins with rounds of games (ring-led by Mr. Zopfi and Com- pany), after which Mr. Winkler presents a brief devotion- al. A closing prayer releases the semi-starved group to the grill area where cooks have prepared barbecued chicken and more. So with a fine meal under belt, stu- dents disperse to various activities of canoeing, swim- ming, and hiking. Afternoon rainfall, however, puts a damper on much of the action and drives the Bryan family back to its school early. 24 All-College Picnic ' i X FAR LEFT: Group games turned out to be both fun and exhausting.

After tying for second place in 1972, Bryan College wins the 1973 Tennessee Intercollegiate Soccer Championship with a 4-1 record. This is the first time the Lions have won the title and have made the District 24 N.A.I. A. play-offs. Five members of the team make the All-Tennessee Team. Senior halfback Reg Cook, (15 goals, 7 assists), sophomore center forward David Beaty (9 goals, 3 assists), and freshman fullback John Shalanko make the first team, while Chuck Grant and Roddy Miller receive second team honors. The Lions finish the season with a 6-9-2 record breaking several school records: most wins (6), most goals in one game (7), most goals by player (4) David Beaty, most goals-season (45), and most goals-season- player (15) Reg Cook. Outlook is good for next season with 14 freshmen and sophomores returning as let- termen.

Soccer 27 Spiritual Emphasis by Soccer Team It makes us both happy and proud to have a win- ning team in 1973, after the loosing streak of former years. Much applause to the coaches, Reeser and An- drews, and their men. But our admiration does not stop at the athletic performance. A chapel presenta- tion of testimonies from team members has shown us a group of players which is truly united in Christ and which holds Him as their primary interest. The soccer players, along with the cheerleaders, have visited vari- ous churches in the vicinity of their travels. Their de- sire for this type of ministry grew from the team ' s Bible studies and the need for more of a Christian out- reach. This testimony has proved to be as great a source of satisfaction as any scoreboard tilted in our direction. . V y ._ 28 Soccer s r UPPER LEFT: John Shalanko heads the ball at the homecoming game.

Soccer 29 Freshman Talent Night Focuses on Life We want to show the school that we, the freshman class, are unified in God. We want to give them some- thing to think about, says Brian Schrauger (master of ceremonies) as he explains why they have chosen Life as the theme for the Freshmen Talent Night. Short skits are featured between acts, having to do with both serious and humorous aspects of life. The program ends with Gary Franklin ' s poetry recitation about a man who has no time for God. 30 Freshman Talent Night I re. hni. in l.ili ' iil Niclil 31 . ; - 411I 3? William Jennings Bryan Homecoming It ' s Homecoming for the crowd of alumni who are visiting their alma mater this week-end — reliving, perhaps, the times when they were here as students. But it ' s just staying home for us, the younger set of Bryan family members. We begin the homecoming program on Friday evening with an Alumni-Faculty vs. Intramural All-Stars basketball game (the golden old- ies beat us). Saturday gets the Alumni and Seniors up early for a brunch on Johnson ' s Bluff, followed by an Alumni vs. Jr. Varsity soccer game (this time it ' s our turn to win). But in the afternoon Homecoming game — Bryan vs. Covenant — nobody is a winner, and no- body even scores. It ' s a 0-0 let-down for both teams. Half-time marks the crowning of the 1973 Queen of Lions — Miss Nancy Nofsinger receiving that honor. Her underclassmen court consists of Bev Shondel- myer (jr.), Sue Vandevert (so.), and Carla Johnson (fr.). The float contest money is carried away by fresh- men who receive first prize for their impressive and original Don ' t Monkey with the Lions courthouse. Meanwhile teams of workers are getting the cafe- teria ready for the Homecoming Banquet. This year ' s theme is William Jennings Bryan, with Bryan cam- paign posters and other patriotic-type decorations. Sunday ' s vesper service, featuring the Madrigals and College Choir, concludes the week-end. Alumni now leave, administrators calm down, and we all return to our everyday routines. 32 Homecoming FAR LEFT: Chuck Grant questions Dr. Charles Taber ( ' 51) the Alumni Chapel speaker.

' ' ' Tubbs Coaches Crosscountry The Cross-country team starts out this year on a good foot with wins against Covenant, Fisk, Tennessee Temple, and U.T.C. This quick pace is slowed down, however, due to a series of accidents and injuries (Danny Wentworth with a torn leg muscle, Larry Grid- ley with an ankle injury, and Jim Steele with a mar- riage commitment). But through coaching from Jeff Tubbs, and help from Dale Hays and Mr. Matthes, the runners out-do their maladies and finish with a win- ning record at the S.C.A.C. Championship and a sec- ond place title at the Fisk Invitational in Nashville.

Charleston, West Virginia, as guest speak- er for Day of Prayer. Rev. Rice speaks in morning and afternoon services concerning how we should pray, what attitudes we should take in praying, and what will result from prayer. Classes have been canceled during the day to give students the opportunity for group prayer meetings and individual Bible study. Some use the time for this purpose, others prefer to catch up on homework and lost sleep. But testimonies in the evening communion service evidence the re- wards of a day well-spent.

In 1973 the banquet ' s theme is The Turkey in the Straw (though straw is not actual- ly featured on the menu) with decorations to suggest old-time country life. The program stars Dr. Bi Her as master of ceremonies and Dan Decker-Hodge Drake as hillbilly singers. It concludes with a message on Thanks by Dr. Jensen. TOP Left to right: Brian Herum.

Among invited guests are Mr. James Abel (Abel Hard- ware), Mrs. E. B. Arnold (trustee emeritus), and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Purser (Hy-way Gardens), receiving honors for their years of service in the community. Mr. Theodore Epp, from Back to the Bible Broadcast, in Omaha, Nebraska, speaks on Walking in the Spirit. The following two weeks are spent in the books, finishing end-of-semester papers and preparing for finals. The choir presents Vivaldi ' s Gloria (accompa- nied by fifteen instruments from the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra), the operatta Amahl and the Night Visitors, and the Candelight Carol Service. The frenzy of exam week abates on December 21st and a light snowfall on that day covers a multitude of bad grades as we leave it all behind at the energy- crisis speed of 55 m.p.h. 40 Christmas Activities ice UfJiA ' .

Allen Thompson, director of the West Indies Mission, and Mr. E. Walford Thomp- son, an evangelist and a native of the British West Indies. The conference theme, Wrap it in a Person, emphasizes each person ' s responsibility to witness. Six meetings deal with Biblical teachings on the sub- ject, in informational lecture style; symposiums and optional evening assemblies allow for questions and discussion. In the Lion ' s Den missionary displays (along with literature) are on exhibit to promote stu- dent interest in overseas mission work. 42 Christian Life Conference UPPER LEFT: Second semester registration precedes the Christian Life Conference.

The absence of Woody Duncan was one factor in the 3-9 record at the end of the first semester. A boost to team spirit, unity, and confidence, Duncan, with his needed scoring ability, immediately led the team to victories in six out of the first eight second semester games. The end of this year ' s season marks the graduation of five valu- able players and puts an end to the domination of Bryan basketball by the team of Eldridge and Duncan, who have been starting Lions since they were fresh- men. Dave Eldridge is especially valuable for his ball handling and accurate shooting. Duncan leaves having broken the all time school scoring record set by Tim Margene, who made 2077 points during his career at Bryan. 44 Basketbal UPPER LEFT: From left to right, Front row: Phil Carter, David Mercer, Skip Cline, Paul Shaver.

The theme for the banquet Love Makes the World Go ' Round (or does it?) is portrayed by air-lines posters, a large map, and by waiters and waitresses (faculty and staff members) wearing costumes from various countries. Pete Carlson (with help from Louise Ciliberto) provides entertainment with a wide- range of secular and sacred songs. Following a cold streak in early February, spring is welcomed with an increase in out-of- door activities. Spring Break (March 1-10) ap- proaches quickly and we return too soon to all the work we procrastinated over the first part of the semester. 50 Sweetheart Banquet ut — S f ' ' - m UPPER LEFT: Enjoying the good food together (from left to right) are Al Cordova, Karen Kaiser, Jennifer Jenkins and Roddy Miller.

Chickasaw State Park is a good spot for each member of the class to relax and enjoy the group activities that unify the seniors during their three-day class trip. Rev. Robert Hill, father of Sherry Hill and editor of the Christian Review, speaks at bac- calaureate along with some of the other senior parents who are in full-time Christian service. The success of last year ' s student speakers led to the selection of four seniors, chosen from a written competition, to be the speakers for the 1974 commencement exercises. Midst all the hubbub and scurrying of seniors depart- ing, the underclassmen are left trying to concentrate on exams before they leave for the summer.

THE DAILY LIFE Administration Expands The two main functions of administration are to provide the best situation possible for the carrying out of the total program of the college and to coordinate the overall college operation. The post of assistant academic dean has been added this year to insure fol- low-up of the recommendations on the educational program growing out of the two-year institutional self-study and the evaluation of the visiting committee from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. As assistant academic dean, Mr. Glen Liebig serves as chairman of the Educational Program Plan- ning Committee (EPPC) representing the six academic divisions which has responsibility for educational long-range planning. A foundational factor in pro- viding the necessary arrangements in terms of facul- ty, facilities, and programs of study is that of financial resources. Mr. Larry Levenger has joined the adminis- tration to work in the area of development with the title of assistant to the vice president. His title reflects the fact that Dr. Bartlett, the vice president, who is also academic dean, has the responsibility of coordinating the overall college program in public relations and development. — Dr. Theodore C.

Many new staff have been added in the new year, including several of the 1973 graduates. We as students would like to extend a special thanks to Mr. Argo, Richard Ashlock, and the entire food service for improvements they ' ve made in the menus and in food preparation.

This includes follow-up on the recom- mendation growing out of the recent two-year institutional self-study and the recommenda- tions of the visiting committee from the South- ern Association of Colleges and Schools. The self-study and the favorable visitation committee report are the basis of the reaffirmation in December 1973 of Bryan ' s accreditation for a ten-year period. The trustees meet three times during the year. New members elected in 1973-74 are Mrs. Fred Kinser and Mrs. Ray Fidoe. 62 Trustees Trustees 63 The Daily Round Sometimes the daily schedule seems like a con- tinuous round of boring classes, lack of sleep, stone cold chapel hours, dorm meetings, lunch lines, and spirals of assignments with no end in sight. But we must admit there are good things. This year the main improvement, of course, is in the kitchen — a part of the daily schedule which has a great effect on our well-being. The environ- mental improvement in the Lion ' s Den, too, makes afternoon and evening past-times more luxurious — a real bonus to our social lives though not so much to our grade point averages. 64 Daily Schedule UPPER LEFT: Ron Brown feasting on the new once-a-month steak supper.

Daily Schedule 65 ik Dorm Life Requires Adjustments Dorm life is perhaps the best teacher of patience, flexibility, discipline, and good hu- mor. The process of adjusting to one ' s room- mate and those in surrounding quarters may bring occasional static and frustration, though with time these are often reversed into inti- mate and long-lasting friendships. Through these we come to realize that first impressions can be faulty, and that people must be con- sidered at more than surface value. And so we mature. Among our acquisitions is a wealth of janitorial skills necessary in satisfying strict room checks and strict Resident Assistants. Dorm life is also characterized by practical jokes and pranks. And this year Long Dorm was notorious for setting off false fire alarms (a mild trick, to be sure, when compared to schools where students actually burn build- ings, and so make their alarms ring true). 66 Dorm Life UPPER LEFT: Susan Smith checking Sue Vander Wiele and Nancy Mitchell ' s room.

Dorm Life 67 C ' Commuter ' s Spectrum To miss a required meeting because signs were posted late or to be tardy for class because of morn- ing car trouble is just a sampling of those things com- muters must endure. And though living at home does pose a certain lack of communication, involvement in school activities is still prominent in the forty-four commuting students (ranging from single to married, part-time to full-time, and day students to night stu- dents). Among other contributions, they have proved to be a strengthening force between the college and the community itself. 68 Commuting Students FAR LEFT: Commuting student Mike Hall relaxes with friends in the Lion ' s Den.

Mrs. Nancy Spoede, new in the department this year, teaches Family Life, a first semester night course. The Christian Education major has been revised to allow for more electives. Distinguishing Bryan from most other liberal arts colleges is the requirement that each student must have at least sixteen hours of Bible courses to grad- uate. This policy keeps the Bible central to each stu- dent ' s academic pursuit. Another project aimed to give Bible-centered permeation to our college exper- ience is the annual Staley Distinguished Christian Lectures. This fourth year of the Staley lectures, Dr. Charles C. Ryrie, dean of doctoral studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, lectures on Eschatology and the Middle East (our interest is increased by the out- break of war in the Middle East). 70 Division of Biblical Studies UPPER LEFT: Bible Division professors (left to right); Dr. John C.

But despite a dismal first-impression, para- dise lost is quickly regained in the variety of speech, language, linguistics, and literature courses offered. All of these work in teaching students to read and think critically, to write effectively, and to refine their Christian philosophy of life. The November lecture series theme, Perspectives on Man, departs from traditional format in that it involves not a guest lecturer but a variety of audio- visual materials. At the conclusion of each media presentation, a panel from the faculty offers a Chris- tian critique. The new division members are Miss Ruth Kantzer, Mr. Kermit Zopfi, and Mr. Frederick Bedford. 72 Division of Literature and Modern Languages TOP LEFT: The professors of the Division of Litera- ture and Modern Languages (left to right); Mr. Fred- erick G.

The first session is almost completely drowned out by terrific rainfall but, as the lecturer remarks, at least these are not more hailstones. Mr. William Ketchersid (new head of the division) and Dr. Robert Spoede (new this year in the history department) sponsor a current events forum called Perspective, an organization for broadening student outlook. In the business department, Mr. Carlos Car- ter, Mr. Arnold Fitzgerald, and Mr. Tom Smith supple- ment the teaching staff. 74 Division of History, Business, and Social Science ■ V v UPPER LEFT: History and Business Division professors (left to right); Mr. Arnold Fitzgerald, Special Instructor in Business Law; Dr. Robert P.

Education Department Adds Kindergarten Certification A variety of new subjects are being offered in the education de- partment this year, as state approval has recently been received for endorsement in special education and kindergarten education. Bryan students may now obtain teacher certification on these levels. As a second semester evening course Miss Virginia Seguine, Librarian, teaches Children ' s Literature for elementary education majors. Innovations in the psychology department include remodeling House A (behind the administration building) into an experimental laboratory, providing practical experience for psychology majors. Two new faculty replacements this year are Dr. Tom Biller and Dr. Emigdio Egipto. 76 Division of Education and Psychology UPPER LEFT: Education and Psychology Division professors (left to right); Dr. Tom Biller, Jr., Assistant Professor of Psychology; Mr. Wayne Dixon, Assistant Professor of Health and Physi- cal Education; Dr. Emigdio E.

As usual, music majors are busy with music reportoire classes and second semester senior re- citals. To promote the arts there are four Rhea County Concerts and several art shows. Rhea County Concerts bring soprano Joan Wittman for a concert in October — she also gives voice stu- dents private lessons — and The Chamber Brass Quintet from Tennessee Tech in November. Dr. Milton H. Hallman gives a concert for Rhea County Concerts and also lectures and performs for two days on the music of Franz Liszt. Lastly in April there is a string concert by Lynn Harrell. New in the art department, Mr. Kent Juillard spon- sors several art exhibits. From February 1-15 the acrylic paintings of Edward Droege of Cleveland, Ohio, are displayed in the reading room. Other second semester displays are a blown-glass display of the work of Mark Vance from Bowling Green State Uni- versity and a student art display near the end of the year, Miss Ruth Kantzer, also new in the division, teaches History of Fine Arts. 78 Division Of Fine Arts TOP LEFT: Fine Arts Division professors (left to right): Dr. John B.

Dr. Baldwin is updating the curriculum in the department for natural science majors and those interested in pre-med and medical technology. The Chemistry Department has been conducting research on the effects of Vitamin E upon white rats, and biolo- gy students will later make histological studies of these. In the Zoology branch Dr. Henning has been concerned with part-time museum work, focusing particularly on piranha fish, herons, and bald eagles. The Mathematics Department offers two new cours- es during spring semester — Digital Computer Pro- gramming and Elementary Algebra. Mr. Carlos Carter, Instructor in Mathematics and Business, replaces Mr. Matthes who is studying for his doctorate while on a one-year sabbatical leave. 80 Division of Natural Sciences UPPER LEFT: Professors of the Division of Natural Sciences (left to right); Mr. Philip C.

The addition consists of a complex of carrels, stereo sets, and cas- sette players, and is a first major step in the library ' s efforts to improve its audio-visual department. Miss Seguine and the other librarians continue their services behind the counter (and also continue drown- ing out library noise with their conversations in the back office).

Continues to be Active The Bryan Women ' s Auxiliary is an organization of women from the Bryan staff and from the com- munity which meets monthly for the purpose of prayer and fellowship. In addition to their meet- ings, the group engages in various projects which serve the college. Their best known, of course, is to furnish for those students whose parents request, a fully decorated birthday cake (cakes averaged per year is 225). With this year ' s profits, the B.W.A. plans to purchase drapes for the new faculty offices, a microfilm reader for the library, additional silver- ware for special dinners, and a new chair for the bookstore.

Bryan Women ' s Auxiliary 83 Senate Distributes Activity Fee The aim of the student senate is to advance inter- action and understanding b etween the lions (our- selves) and the lion tamers. Through senate efforts, students are represented on the steering committee, handbook revision com- mittee, administrative conference, and on all faculty committees. And the administration is brought before the student body in various chapels where attempts are made to explain the logic behind administrative actions and attitudes. The senate also fills its tradi- tional roles of welcoming students, co-ordinating homecoming elections and floats, sponsoring student body prayer meetings, and administering and tabu- lating faculty evaluations. The student activity fee — new this year — has created the double responsibility of evaluating organizational needs and distributing the money among the various student organizations. The senate is involved in much work behind the scenes, for which the students are appreciative. For, as in Aesop ' s Fable, the lion is grateful to anyone who will remove his thorns.

Jim Fitz- gerald leads the organization and plans the Christian Life Conference for the second year. The FISH program serves the community through the CALL program first semester. Second semester services are suspended because of organizational dif- ficulties. Big Brother and Big Sister relationships have increased to fifty-one, with a need for even more stu- dents who are willing to spend more time with under- privileged children. The HELP program, making FISH a year-round ministry, is planned but is not put into practive yet. Out of fourteen candidates, ten students have been chosen by the Summer Missions Program to serve with various mission boards (both at home and abroad). A budget of $10,000 is set to finance this mis- sionary program. The large twelve-foot map placed across from the Student Union office is part of MIA ' s missionary emphasis. 86 Missions In Action UPPER LEFT: MIA ' s executive committee from left to right, Back row: Secretary Mary Jo Hemme. treasurer Brian Schrauger, sec- retary Pam Dekker, vice-president of SMP John Lacey.

Also new this year is Bible distribution to the motels of the Dayton area; each motel customer receives a free Bible and correspondence course.

A budget of $9800 provides not only free activities for students but also a controversial stereo system for the Lion ' s Den. A variety of activities reflects the hard work of the Student Union, led by Dale Wolfe for the second year. First semester activities include the movies, Gone with the Wind and Cross and the Switchblade, and concerts by Steve and Maria and Malcolm and Alwyn. Dr. Henning ' s caving expedition to Grassy Cove, the movie Thief in the Night, and Pete Carlson in concert are among the second semester activities.

These include presentations in local churches, Bryan functions and chapels, clubs such as Ki- wanis and Rotary, and this year an out- of-state tour to Ohio during Fall Break. Their three basic musical programs are early church and folk gospel, sixteenth century secular, and popular. This year the Madrigals assist with the Christmas operetta Amahl and the Night Visitors. 106 Madrigals Choralaires Singing Cut by Gas Shortage The Choralaires, a chorus of thirty women ' s lib- bers, are staying within the county this year because of the gasoline shortage.
