mia aiwiiwTr T KB THU Qyi7t»i The BSU Mid-Winter Retreat was held at Holmes County State Park on January 18-19, the first weekend after the Christmas break. Dis- tressed with the trauma of holidays’ ending and school’s beginning, sev- enty-five Mississippi College hedon- ists jumped at the opportunity to ex- plore the theme of the retreat, “Go for the Gusto.” Between the organi- zation contribution of three notable MC faculty members, the pleasure seekers were steered into a short in- terlude of reflection. Dr. Mildred Crider of the Psychology Depart- ment investigated the possibilities for the individual to experience gusto, urging everyone to evaluate what motives were molding their lives. The excitement of sharing gusto with another in dating and marriage was effectively communi- cated by Dr. Bettye Coward of the Home Economics Department. Phi- losophy instructor Dr. Joe Cooper weighed the paradoxical effects one may have on himself and his world in a rash, inconsiderate search for “goosto. A touch of spring weather and an abundance of good food pro- vided welcome contrasts to the MC student’s normal January fate. All of these factors united to rejuvenate the awareness of man’s numerous needs and God’s infinite resources.

mm IjtDHI £1 lTJLCJ Students saw this paranoia-producing phrase on the MC cam- pus for two weeks in the cafeteria, in Nels on Hall, in Provine Chapel, in the dorms, in classrooms, in bathrooms, in Heder- man Science Building, and everywhere else you can imagine. The phenomenon to which I am referring is, of course, Spiri- tual Enrichment Week (or Encroachment Week as it is affec- tionately called). To some it was nothing more than two extra chapels and a class or two without notetaking. However, for many it was an opportunity to learn from the knowledge of four gifted human beings. John Riley, a motivationalist from Auburn University, challenged us with his Biblical knowledge. Jim Keith, a Bap- tist pastor from Gulfport, aided us with his sincere concern for college students. Keith Tonkel, a Methodist pastor from Clin- ton, pricked our thoughts with his unique frankness. And Frances Spain, a crazy lady from Baton Rouge, stole our hearts with her charm and wit. Each was different from the others, but each ministered very effectively. Each left a little of him- self at MC, and took a little of MC with him. Keith Tonkel Frances Spain Some students received only a small portion of what was of- fered at S.E.W. Some listened a little more intently. Some be- came highly interested in the talks, conferences, and dis- cussions. And then there are the few whose lives will never be the same. Regardless of the degree of response, as long as someone’s life is helped by the Week, it may be considered a success. Jerry Gentry Keith Tonkel and Frances Spain |im Keith 18
