indeed came. It was a chance to see how much others on campus cared, and the girls were gratified by the encouragement from classmates. Jan. 14-15-Cabinet Retreat Of the 26 members of the Cabinet, 17 traveled with Dr. Lytle to the Spencer's house at the Multnomah Training Mission. It was a time of games, sharing, and goal setting. The cabinet got away, got to know each other better, and got some goals to aim for in the spring semester. Even the trip up was fun. Though Jeff Klippenes was the first to leave, half an hour before the rest, he arrived at MTM only five minutes before the second car. He had taken the scenic routen when he had to make four different turn-arounds to find where to go. Getting ready for bed was more fun. The guys discovered their sink had no water, so they trekked over to the girls' section, brushing their teeth on the way because they had started to wash before making their discovery. Jan. 17-Capital punishment resumed Gary Gilmore, convicted murderer, was executed in the Utah State Prison by a five-man firing squad. This was the first execution in the U.S. in nearly 10 years. The execution -took place after months of public furor over the legality of capital punish- ment. Gilmore had pleaded for the fulfillment of his sentence, twice attempting suicide by drug overdoses. His lawyers and capital punishment opponents tried unsuccessfully to stop the order of execution. Jan. 18-The Holy Land tours During chapel, Mr. Good- rick announced his seventh ex- cursionzto the land of Israel. A 28-day,S first-class luxury tour CCost: 32,0005 for our moms and dads. Mr. Goodricks's trip will start May 21. Dr. Wong will be the tour's Bible lecturer. Mrs. Goodrick will be on the trip to uwake me CGoodrickJ up at the proper time, and 'fMrs. Wong will go to keep Dr. Wong in line. Dr. Congdon also an- nounced his seventh field studies tour of Israel. Though he told his wife before the first time he planned to go to Israel, I can learnfip all I need in books... Qorigdon has kept returning. In ffactf this will be the seventh Holy Land trip 'for both Congdon and Goodrick. But, in contrast to Goodrick's tour, this one will be ten weeks of rough- ing it with backpacks and hiking. Dr. Congdon showed slides of the places the tours will visit: England, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Israel and Sinai. High- light of the tour will be partici- pating in a dig with a top-rated archaeologist. Jan. 19-Dean's Chapel Effective tonight was an- other dress code change. Women are now allowed to wear pants to the evening dinner meal, except on dress-up Thursday nights. Dr. Reeve made the announcement for the administration when it had decided after lengthy discus- sion. Some cheered and applaud- ed this announcement while others reacted somewhat nega- tively. Some felt the code was liberal enough when pants were allowed on campus after 2 p.m., effective last September. Specu- lation arose concerning the re- action ofl the men on campus, whether their courtesies and good manners would decrease, whether their dress habits would become more casual. Jan. 20-Inauguration of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. Jan. 203' Faculty family grows Sara Joy Peabody entered world at 7:07 a.m. weighing in at 6 lbs. 15 oi. Sarah's dad, Paul Peabody, graphics instructor and yearbook advisor, described her as the most beautiful baby girl, with lots of red hair like her mommy, Roycee. by Judi L. Wong

for him if he has an attitude of a servant. Effective ministry will come if he works alongside the natives instead of over them. The one thing that had the strongest impact on Rosemary Hill was the cost of committ- ment. lt was an area she had never thought about, especially here at MSB, surrounded by love and fellowship. Rosemary explained how Dr. Roseveare graphically illustrated the cost by stripping a full-blooming tree. First she re- moved its flowers, then its leaves. Next she broke off every single branch. Finally she stripped-even the bark of the tree to show one may sometime lose everything. The illustration had its effect on us, too. On the last day of Urbana, convention speaker Luis Palau, evangelist and graduate of MSB, shared how his vision for the field of missions had been ex- panded. To the five panelists, Urbana had caused their visions to expand. To those of us who heard their testimonies, our visions were expanded not only in the area of missions, but in the cost of committment and in de- claring His glory in our daily living. Jan. 13-Chapel Challenge ln the second chapel of the new semester, Bruce Wilkinson hit home with his challenge. He rebuked us, and rightly so, telling us that we were spiritually drying up, even here on the Multnomah campus. We did our Christian service duty and attended classes and chapel. But, he asked, did those things make our spiritual lives alive? Why weren't we on fire? Had we lost what we had? Where was that love we possessed as we passed our classmates on the sidewalk with hardly a 'fHi, how are you', to spare? It boiled down to the fact of SIN. Not a sound could be heard in the large CB auditorium. lf Wilkinson had dropped a pin, we would have heard it. There was an immediate conviction and re- action in our hearts as the Holy Spirit moved among us. On campus, prayer groups formed. Students were confessing and getting right with the Lord. Love began to wear work clothes. It was a good way to begin the semester. Jan. 14-Housing Rearrange- ments Due to decrease in enroll- ment, two women's dorm houses were closed since dorm spaces had to be filled first. The girls were shifted to rooms in the dorms or in other houses. The two houses were made available for married-student rental. Girls already in the dorms were also moved around because it was too noisy or too hot were they had been. l One girl, Wanda Wood, moved from Memorial to Sut- cliffe. Ten following girls in Memorial moved either to an- other dorm section or merely down the hall: Joan Anderson, Judy Brady, Tina Bock, Dynell Faszer, Wendy Fisk, Lucy Haag, Becky, Haas, Laurel Haley, Stephanie Lamb, Dawnita Libby, Kari Nelson, Donna Sheets and Lynn Staton. Valerie Guyer, a freshman, replaced Nevelle Kuckuck as an RA in Rutcliffe. The two dorm houses closed were Sunnyside, 8506 N.E. Pacific CNadine Olberg, RCD, and Haunyaucker Hilton, 8344 N.E. Pacific fRoilyn Barn- hart, RCb. Of Sunnyside, Sue Casper moved to Jacque Knuppe's house. Ruth Brown, Melody Gorbet, Cindy Lauer, Diane Mink, Nadine Olberg and Roberta Wigger all moved to Memorial. Of Haunyacker Hil- ton, Janie Bergman moved to Cindy Berg's Nostalgia Nookj' while Teresa Higer and Janice Nelson moved to Crystal Ralphs' Omega House. Roilyn Barn- hart, Kathy Cole, Annette Horton and Grace Wong moved to Memorial. The freedom and conveni- ence of living in a house had to be forfeited. The girls in houses develop a closeness and unity, and that also had to be broken apart. First reactions to the an- nouncement of the moves were surprise and frustration. The night after the an- nouncement some of the girls got together to talk out their re- actions and feelings. Though up- set to lose the closeness of the house, they confessed their honest feelings in prayer, not being super-spiritual and accept- ing ofthe situation. Consolation came when they thought God must have something better for them. They thought God ,might Lise them much more to encour- age others when broken apart. Praying for their attitudes, the girls felt more sadness than bitterness. Adjustments back to dorm living came gradually, but they
