Q11 M55 24- 227 Veteran's Day Holiday. Most people don't agree with the new trend of moving holidays around to Mon- days where they don't really belong! It usually means another Monday without mail. But fake Veteran's Day, October 27 provided a 3-day weekend at just the right time. Most students headed for home, ski slopes, the beach, and just generally AWAY!!! 277 Grads sponsor singing group.

W4 Faculty-Student Leadership Conference. ASMSB Congress and Cabinet met with the faculty in the A-Frame from 2:30 to 7:30 and had dinner together there. They dis- cussed such issues as the future of MSB, finances, the discipleship program, student homework load, and the dining room dinner hour. l5 Day of Prayer and Praise. Multnomah students learned a little bit more about Matthew 18:1-6 and the faith of a child this day of prayer and praise. Several second and third grade children from Portland Christian grade schools visited us in CB Auditorium to answer questions relating to life, how they look at God, their concept of prayer. It seemed they had a great deal of insight. They also sang their testimony of Christ. All totalled it was a refreshing change to have some little ones in our midst. After struggling through theology, it was beautiful to see a child express his faith and his concept of God so simply. Carl Thompson l7 Friday Family Chapel. Suffering from an acute identity crisis MSB President Dr. Willard Aldrich presented a chapel slide presentation on Who I Am or The Life of Willard Aldrich. The auditorium shook with laughter. One slide seemed to confirm that he has enough arrows in his quiver K9 kidsl. The presentation was prompted by several misguided students who were still asking him. for his name after he'd spoken every Friday in Chapel. tThe view of the podium from the back pew in CB auditorium isn't too good unless, of course, one accompanies one's presentation with visual aidsll l7-W8 Seniors go to their class advisor's home. Seniors chose Friday and Saturday evenings for comic relief from studies at the home of their advisor Bill Muir. Since the Muir home would only hold 40 at a time, seniors signed up for the evening of their choice. From about 7:30 to 11:00 p.m. seniors enjoyed various table games, visiting, some yummy refreshments made by Mr. Muir's wife Carol, singing, and a short class meeting to plan the year. Friday night attenders heard Linda Ballweg whis- tle her way through a story of the three bears. Was there any truth to the rumor that those attending Friday night went back to TP the Muir's on Saturday night? 4 . .nd ,A

Although Spiritual Life Week appeared to be the launching pad for take-off on Mult- nomah's discipleship program, the count- down began months ago. How did it all begin? When did the God of the universe begin to assemble the pieces? What led both student body president Rowland Salter and Pastor Dave Hazen to testify, We're in- volved in something bigger than our- selves ? Let's take a journey back to the previous spring semester when it all started. In the spring of 1975 Tom Erickson and the faculty invited Pastor Dave Hazen of the Cole Community Church in Boise, Idaho to come to Multnomah's Spiritual Life Week the following fall and share on the subject of dicipleship. Rowland Salter was not involved in this decision, nor was he aware of it. Meanwhile, Rowland was mak- ing plans to run for student body president on a platform of discipleship. He and Pastor Hazen had already established the previous summer 119743 that Rowland would return the summer of 1975 and intern at Cole Com- munity. They had become close friends and corresponded. The day before student body elections Rowland called Pastor Hazen long 'C . .Therefore go and make of all di eiple nation Matt. 28:19 Rev. David Hazen speak: in rlmpel during 1lJe Spiritual Life Crmfereure iu Sepienzber. distance and shared with him his platform. It was then that Rowland discovered that Pastor Hazen had been asked to speak at the conference. Hazen told Rowland that if he won he would accept the invitation. He encouraged Rowland to run for the entire year. Rowland felt that the Lord was really working as they received, mutual confir- mation that they had independently arrived at the same emphasis. Rowland won the election and at year's end left for Boise to spend a summer working closely with Pastor Hazen. The conference itself was held September 1-6, 1975, with a week-long series of chapel messages culminating in weekend messages at the Canby Retreat. Pastor Hazen spoke on Discipleship-A Way of Life. For him it has become a way of life-a way of walking, talking, moving out and interacting. He wanted that for us. He conveyed a care for our lives. A care for the building up of the Body of Christ, individual- ly and corporately. We may have expected a how-to ap- proach, with a list of cut and dried do's and don'ts on How to be a good Disciple and love it. Instead he began with the in- Q5 M53
