At no time during a day does peace and quiet reign over a dorm asjust be- fore alarm clocks start theirjangling cho- rus announcing the beginning of another day. Bare feet hit shivery floors. Doors begin banging. Drowsy voices sound in the halls. Soon, by twos and threes, sleepy students begin to drift in the general dir- ection of the cafeteria where hot breakfast quickly disperses the foggy expressions on sleepy faces. During the next busy hour. Finalb many a mop is shaken against the mop tree outside Founders, while brooms and dust cloths quickly restore neatness to various buildings. Brrrrrrring! Classes begin and stu- dents are plunged into a flurry of note- taking, leafing through books, and listen- ing to professors explain truths from Godls Word and from related subjects on the curriculum. In the middle of a busy morn- ing, time is set aside for chapel - devo- tion, testimony, spirited singing, Bible study, fellowship with the college family. After chapel, behold the mob scene in the bottleneck in Bethany lower hall! It,s mail time! Push and shove, squeeze and push again. Finally students get near enough to their mailboxes to dial the com- bination and reach for those welcomed letters and not-so-welcomed mandatory memos. The last period of the morning is spent in an effort to hear an instructor's lecture above the rumble of empty stomachs, while the smell of hash wafts tantalizingly through the ventilators. The Light Tower camera records a day on cam- pus with Vernon Haller.

uWas that the lunch bell? asks the stupified prof as he looks up to an emptied room. Afternoons pass quickly. Some students pore over collateral assignments, term papers, and text books, while others rehearse with various musical groups or go to different parts of the city to work. Evening mealtime Ends students together again for one of the happiest hours of the day. This is followed by a fifteen-minute devo- tional period. The following social hour finds students strolling around the campus, cheering a volleyball game in the gym, playing in a ping-pong tournament, orjust plain relaxing in one of the lounges. At 7:00 p.m. study hours begin, when prepara- tion is made for the following day's classes. Later, as the evening wears on, all books are laid aside except the Greatest Book of all, and each student spends a time of quietness before God. the buzldzhg is begun: I x., 4 ll 1E 1 fm! x i r .4 t , , f llrggi -li fin 4 YI, it
