Evangel College continued to make Christ relevent with the introduction of two new areas of the SCOPE ministry. Prayer, the backbone of the endeavor, started the spark within the hearts and minds of concerned students to retain nearly constant communication with God. The prayer band, more commonly referred to as Maranatha, was led by sophomore Steve White. This year SCOPE made an impact not only on the students of EC, but on the secular college campuses in the Spring- field area. Campus Impact utilized some 55 people, involved in carrying out the Great Commission. Chairmen of the steering committee were sophomore Floyd Dawson and junior Karen Bakke. Campus Impact worked closely with Chi Alpha and sponsored the Dave Wil- kerson rally October 29.

SCOPE expands ministry; prayer band, campus impact added SCOPE operated three Sunday Schools for underprivileged children within the city of Springfield. The Sunday School attempted to establish in each child a knowledge of God. Groups of 15 members weekly visited one of the four rest homes in Hospital Ministory. World Awa reness programs created a concern for missions among our students. Through Social Concern students helped the underprivileged children of Spring- field in such areas as tutoring, and social life, working with the Girl Scouts and other youth groups constituted part of their program. Other areas of SCOPE ministry included the Extensions, the traveling SCOPE ensemble. Coordinating the activities for the year were senior, Tim Snyder, director; senior, Roberta Christensen, secretary; junior, Paul Trower, treasurer.

106 Future educators host student- teacher tea; hold Christmas social The Student National Education Associa- tion was formed to bring together stu- dents with an interest in the teaching profession. With some 200 members, SNEA was, by far, the largest college organization. The club sought to create an informal atmos- phere in which open discussion of rele- vant issues in the teaching field could be voiced. The year's activities were highlighted by a Christmas social featuring the Exten- tion the new SCOPE traveling ensem- ble. Special speaker for the program was Pastor David Rees-Thomas, speaking on the evolution of English dialects. A student-teacher tea brought together Springfield teachers with EC students for an informal give-and-take session. The club also participated in the Rush Week Carnival. Spearheading the year's organizational events were junior Frank Gambino, president; sophomore Melody Senf, vice- president; junior Sharon Westberg, secre- tary; and junior Kendy Wrenn, treasurer. Faculty sponsor for the club was Riley Denton, assistant professor of science and mathematics. SNEA: A representative group of students belonging to the organization appear below.
