ff x v f if dy ,MS M N, ,ft . ,,, Jud, A Chan e of Order Who would have thought Al Capps comic strip, Lil' Abner would influence Lee College? Upsilon Xi first introduced Capps idea of hav- ing a Sadie Hawkins Day to the campus. September 29, 1962, marked the very first Sadies Day for Lee College. Unlike in the recent hayrides to Dr. O'Bannon's farm, mules and wagons carried the riders to Duck Pond in Cleveland. The tradition of Chase Day also traces back almost two decades. This year was no exception as strange-looking characters squatted between bushes, hid behind trees and employed team- work to yank off the necessary blue doll. Detemiination motivated many females to chase until the 8:00 deadline. Injuries. however, prevented several females from continuing the chase, Heavey rains on the scheduled night of the hayride changed L'psilon's plans, Couples partic- ipating in the hayride met with L'psilon mem- bers in the gym and voted to postpone actixities until the next night. Cooperating ibut coldl weather allowed the hayride to proceed as re-scheduled. Bonfires and hot hotdogs helped warm the hayriders as Dr. David Horton, Master of Ceremonies, introduced the entertainment. Lots of quilts and comments like you're- sitting-on-my-foot characterized the ride back to campus. As the wagons neared Lee, a local bank's sign flashed the temperature at 38 de- grees. Needless to say, the lobbies filled up very quickly after the hayride. -Julie New LEFT: Twyla Daugherty torn between two lovers!?!

FALL CONVOCATION Dr. Jarnes Cossey, former Editor of World Missions Publications for the Church of God, spoke during the morning services of Fall Con- vocation. Dr. Cossey's series of messages dealt with the theme, Unashamed of the Gospel from the text, Romans 1:16. l see five implications in that scripture why I should not be ashamed of the Gospel, Dr. Cossey stated. During each session, he dealt with a different implication. In an interview with a VINDAGUA reporter at the conclusion of convocation week, Dr. Cossey reflected on the goals of his messages: My reason for dealing with the Gospel, Dr. Cossey began, I think historically, there has been too little emphasis on the Word and too much on the experience, where, when you are up, you are spiritual and when you are dovm, not spiritual. He commented further, We don't want to do away with the emphasis on experiences because the experiences are there, but they have to be validated with the Word. I really wanted to emphasize the centrality of the Word of God. l think my aim was not an emotional one, but I wanted to leave them with something they could think on later, he shared. He continued, Lee College is not an easy place to preach. You realize you have theolo- gians, scientists, historians and business people on the faculty: you have students and you have adrninistrative people. I tried to strike a middle ground where I could minister to He added, Some had to grab for it, but I think they were fed. Becky Mills, a junior psychology major, commented on Cossey's messages. I really had to contemplate sometimes on what he was saying. I think there were a lot of theology students who understood what he was saying. Gary Manning, a senior Biblical Education ma- jor remarked, I think a major weakness was he lost the average student, that is, when you con- sider that half the em'ollment is either freshman or sophomore. Carol Belcher, a staff secretary disagreed. I enjoyed his messages. I felt he related to the age group to whom he was speaking. Dr. Cossey freely thanked others for their support during convocation. The administration and faculty . . . made a tremendous contribution towards making it an effective convocation .... Pastor Tull deserves special commendation. He is there after Raymond and I are gone and he does the follow-up. He deserves a lot of credit, Cossey concluded. Cossey, prior to his position as Editor of World Missions Publications, served as Youth Director for the states of Iowa 472-761, and Okla- homa i76-78l. He also has served as a pastor in Arkansas and Iowa, pioneering a new church in each state. Cossey commented, As a pastor, l tried to see the kids at Lee as needing to be fed spiritually. They are away from the home church and as a man with a pastor's heart, I tried to meet that need. TOP: Ur. James Cossey focused on the gospel of Christ during the week of Fall Convocation in October.
