Association of Evangel College Students President Clint Gab- bard, senior, keeps score for l his team at the AECS Rook Tournament, held Monday evening, November 10. 58 AECS AECS - It's everywhere! General Assembly also voted to donate almost $100 to help two families who had to move out of the barracks being removed to enlarge the park- ing lot of Lewis Hall. Much of the spring semes- ter was spent clarifying and defining the particular role and responsibilities of the members and branches of AECS. Reasons for the clarification came from the establishing of a separate unit within AECS, namely, the Activities Board. Senior Dick Van Huss, Activities Board director, and Tom Quick junior, Julie Wicht, worked with a committee consisting of the class vice-presidents and persons appointed by the class officers and Van Huss. The committee was responsible for the major productions such as Harvest Festival, Maranatha '81, and Festival of Praise, as well as events such as Bachelor's Bon- anza and the Overnight Float Trip. The Activities Board was also in charge of the Home- coming activities. AECS also included the faculty in their efforts to help students. Early in the fall semester, Gabbard addressed the faculty, sharing the goals and plans of AECS. Later in the year, a program in which students invited the teachers to lunch was presented. One of the most profit- able things for getting ideas from the students was the luncheons held with President Robert H. Spence, the Execu- tive Board, and 10-12 re- sidence hall representatives. During October, several open forum luncheons were sched- uled to provide an opportunity to discuss ideas and receive feedback about the happen- ings on campus. The Executive Board, Gen- eral Assembly, and the Activi- ties Board worked together, showing innovation and cooperation to achieve the desired involvement for the students. e Activities Board Director Dick Van Huss, senior, introduces the next performer at the Christmas Praise Festival in the chapel.

AECS - Actiyities board pro vides chancesy for in volvement tudent involvement SThat is generally what student government is all about. The Association of Evangel College Students iAECsy sought involvement, but not from the students. Involvement by the students needed no assis- tance. More students par- ticipated in the elections in the fall, both as candidates and as voters, than in the past. The involvement AECS was working for was for the students and with the students. General Assembly, the legislative branch of AECS, worked with several new ideas. Members of General Assembly formulated the ideas and plans in the various committee meetings which covered social, spiritual, and academic areas of student life President Clint Gab- bard, senior, explained that the goal of AECS was to get involved in a variety of student interests. ' New programs, events, and solutions were inves-. tigated in the Monday even- ing meetings. According to Gabbard, student govern- ment was trying to look ahead for next year s officers and students. New videotape equip- Iunior Connie Wright utilizes the WATS line during the hours opened for students. AECS worked to make the line available to students. It's ever ywhere! ment was purchased for the Student Union with the intent of halls and floors renting it to show movies at parties. AECS worked with the Development Department to set up hours for students to buy five or 10 minutes of time on the WATS linen Efforts to get reinbursements for students who lived three- to-a-room were also co- ordinated by AECS. The concern of becom- ing involved in all areas of student life was put into action with a $100 contribu- tion to the Student Corps of Pentecostal Endeavor iSCOPEy Get a Piece of the Bus drive. The project was . , initiated by Child Evangelism . ' to help pay for two new buses for its ministry. b I Front row: Debbie Miller, Vickie Vanzant.
