Closing The Gap A need to establish better rapport between student body officers and stu- dents prodded the 1976-77 A SCGFC officers to seek new methods for open- ing the lines of communication. The Crescent turned out to be one means of closing the gap between the two groups through such innovations as The President ' s Column, publishing various survey results, and reporting of Central Committee meetings. Other projects carried out by the officers in- cluded a suggestion box in the SUB, public Central Committee meetings and one student government chapel each term. A special undertaking of the ASCGFC was the Special Projects Fund. The fund is an attempt by George Fox students to help those in financial need in a way that will fur- ther the name and message of Jesus Christ. The efforts of this year ' s student council should help establish a prece- dent for better communication in the future. 5 ASCGFC OFFICERS 23

6 Transformation Candlelight, poinsettas and fir boughs transformed Heacock Com- mons, for one evening, from the every- day SAGA into a place of winter en- chantment. This year, open dorms were ar- ranged so that the gentlemen would be able to call for the ladies at their doors. Opening with a reception in Pennington Lobby, the guests were served egg-nog and cookies allowing for a chance to socialize. A delicious dinner of Poulet a la Kiev served by waiters and waitresses induced those present to forget the pressure of school and enjoy the splen- dour of the evening. The Ralph Fry Family singers, poetry reading and a drama presentation all set the atmos- phere for this gala affair. The new motif of the commons, the delightful entertainment and excellent cuisine all combined to create an event that was worth getting dressed up for. 7 9 8 CHRISTMAS BANQUET 25
