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.

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

Foll Lectureship Christian Patriotism I scratched my head and tried to remember whether or not classes started fifteen minutes early that morning. I knew it was Monday, November lst. I thought the annual Fall Lectureship started that day. And I knew that during special chapel lectures, classes always started fifteen minutes early. But I couldnit tell for sure, and I wasn't about to trudge up the hill to Central Bible fifteen min- utes early just for nothing. It didn't seem like anyone was too sure of what was going on. Time changes always threw our schedules into disarray. As I headed towards Sut- cliffe Hall to find out what was happening, a distinguished look- ing man in a dark blue suit bounded from the side door. I didn't recognize him, and I was struck by his spry step and joyful manner.
