Student Wives Highlighting the spring semester with a fashion show by J. C. Penney, the Student Wives of LeTourneau College remained quite active throughout the school months. Special seasonal activities attended by Mom LeTourneau included the Christmas party and the Sweetheart Banquet. The ladies also petitioned the construction of a playground in the married apartment area. Money for the playground was raised through bake sales, cook book sales, and the selling of tickets for the Carpenter's concert. The evening meetings, held monthly, provided a time of sharing and fellowship for those married ladies who share an interest in both the school and in married campus life. oe oe ae Student Wives’ Officers and Sponsors, L to R, Seated: Dee Patrick, Carol Newton, Vera Price; Standing: Karen Waechter, Linda Montgomery, Mrs. Iggliss Graff, Mrs. Bev Harder, Wanda Walker, Trenda Lynch, Mrs. Noni Larsen, Chery!

Surrounded by equipment, ham radio operator Victor Paul jots down a recent contact. A little known organization, KSJEF, spent most of its time under cover as a ham radio station. Maintenance was a major problem for this small group of amateur radio buffs, as the roof of the building leaked extensively. Nevertheless, they found plenty of dry days to broadcast to other states and a few foreign countries. Officers for 1976-77 were: Doug Oplinger serving as President, Brent Hoff as Vice President, and Tim Visti as Secretary-Treasurer.

SOCIETIES BUILD NEW STAIRWAY Intersociety Council, designed in an effort to promote intersociety activities, was able to exhibit unity among the five societies in a new joint project this fall. Besides the annual Open House and Rope Pull which the ten member council sponsors yearly, the societies also worked together in building a stairway on the previously pathless bank east of the Memorial Student Center. Students living in the societies, the older barracks, and the married apartments had experienced difficulty in climbing the clay enbankments after a class or a stop by the post office, particularly on a rainy day when mud was in abundance. The addition of the steps, ee accomplished in one Saturday of hard work, allowed a ee ee Officers; Uto Ri Joe Swenson, Dale Weaver, shorter and safer route to the Student Center, much to | ; the pleasure of the student body. Council Members, Pictured L to R, Seated: Joe Swenson, Bill Ewin, Bob Crego, Daryl Forry, Carl Mattson, Dave Stoltzfus, Mark Henneberg; Standing: Dan Webber, Pete Strubhar, Kevin Jackson, Dale Weaver. 153
