2 1 Thistle eeping up Covenant's convocation ceremo- ny was traditional and untradi- tional. To the new student, unfamiliar with the pomp of the faculty processional, the sen- sation was probably one of wide-eyed wonder and respect. Long flowing robes and Colorful plumage do have a way of im- pressing us fwhere was the bag- piper?j but it is good to know that there are real people under- neath, as eager to learn as the students are. Scripture reading from Daniel seemed to set the tone for the convocation address, given by Dr. Richard Chewning, recently elected chairman of the board of trustees. His message dealt with the seriousness of our res- ponsibility toward God and each other. Instead of exalting him- self and the Covenant communi- ty, Chewning pointed uf to Christ, who is the Truth-the foundation for our academic studies here. -K. Sluis For the first time in Covenant 's Lookout Mountain history, the state of Pennsylvania does not represent the largest number of students. This year Georgia provided 59 students, Florida 54, and Pennsylvania sending 52. Statistics compiled by the Office of Admissions and Rec- ords show that 40 states are represented in the geographical distribution of students. In addition, there are 26 students from foreign countries at Cove- nant this year. The evening of September 2 will long be remembered by six young ladies as the beginning of their cheerleading career for the 1976-1977 seasons of soc- cer and basketball. Those honored with this position are Susie Adkins fcaptainl, ajuniorg Ann Coad, a freshman, Sarah P' . 'z ,ze ,. l fl fi 1 1 I I 4 E .'r'9 'M. , ..

Senate aims to be productive and involved The Student Senate, headed this year by Linda Goette, is the governmental and organiza- tional arm of the Student Asso- ciation. The Senate strives to be a voice for the students, having representatives on the Admini- strative Council and various insti- tutional committees. Desiring to be aware of student concerns and to articulate them clearly, Senate discusses pertinent ques- tions and seeks to represent stu- dent opinion on them. One of the new features of the Student Senate is a Consu- mer Committee. This committee is currently preparing question- naires for students to voice their satisfaetions and dissatisfactions with Chattanooga area services. The outcome of this will be a consumer report made available to all students in the near future. After Student Association cha- pel on Mondays, two Senate members will be stationed at the Scots' Desk. They will be availa- ble for students to air com- plaints, offer suggestions, and express concerns. Senate mem- bers will welcome suggestions throughout the week as well. 'The Senate is composed of an executive committee and class representatives. The exe- cutive committee has four mem- bers: Linda Coette, president, Keith Moore, vice-president, Daniel Theune, treasurer, and Carol Clark, secretary. Repre- sentatives for this yearis senate include Philip Pedley and Fletcher Stubbins, seniorsg Chris Allen and Mary Anna Bullock, juniors, and jim Drexler and Mark Payne, sophomores. The freshmen elections will be held soon. Because all students are mem- bers ofthe Student Association, they are welcome to attend Sen- ate meetings. These meetings are held weekly at 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday in the Student Senate room. The room is located be- 'ieath the student lounge at the north end of Carter Hall. -Carol Clark September I 1 -.s-ag

Hamilton, a freshman, Lynn Head, a junior, Libby Moore, a junior, and Lynne Signorino, a sophomore. -L. Head lf, put With plans for completion next fall, construction of the Dora Maclellan Brown Chapel con- tinues, in spite of a few setbacks during the summer months. A union strike in early May delayed the work for several weeks. Almost as soon as work had resumed, many complica- tions were encountered due to the nature of the landscape. At one point workmen were re- quired to dig 25 feet deeper than they had anticipated to find rock. This summer's work, there- fore, has been primarily the dig- ging of the footings for the foun- dation, and the forming of the walls, putting in steel, and pour- ing concrete forms. Provisions for utility systems are also being made. Weather permitting, fore- man Bill Hammontree says that early next month we will be seeing the skeleton of the new building. -M, Gates September 1 3 3 'rv I Y '-,-.4..., is 'Ii Congratulations are in order for Phyllis Crooks, Controller, who was named Alumna of the Year at this year's Alumni Day held September 26.

'Twas the Juniors and Seniors, all ready to ride The contraptions at Six Flags, true fun, bonafide! Gasping and screaming we flew through the air, Up, down, and around till no more we could bear. We ate lunch and had dinner-all the day through, We were stuffed with so much we could no longer chew! The day was fantastic, I tell you the truth, I'll remember it always, even after my youth. ..C.
