iiMSlSiSSiliKillLlSsiSi! A lot of things can change In 100 years- EX ' en buildings. They have to grow, Expand, Reach out And along with growing larger. They have to alter Their characters a little; And so ... . A library becomes more than a Study Room; A dining hall becomes more than a Place to eat; A gymnasium is no longer Just a court with basketball goals. Gradually The appearance of the place Is changed. 100 years is time enough for A great many new things. . . .

program more relevant to today ' s world, and u-e hope that every course ivill be developed on the basis of carefully for- mulated objectives. LOTUS: What are your views of the image of today ' s Peace Lady ? Do you feel that the image is being upheld today by the student at Peace as an individual and an in- tegral part of a group? DR. FRAZIER: I have never personally used the term Peace Lady even though I am aware of the fact that many people have. At one time, this term probably evoked the vision of a rather prim, proper and genteel young lady who was attending college to learn some of the nicer things of life. Obviously, as society has changed, so has the student at Peace College. Frankly, it makes me personally feel good to be told over and over that Peace students are the most attractive and best groomed college women in Raleigh. I re- alize that this has little to do with the character or aca- demic qualijications of a student body, but I think it is still some cause for pride. In ad- dition to being the most attractive and well- groomed group of college women. I feel that the Peace i tudent remains extremely friendly, con- cerned, and com- passionate. In my opin- ion, these are attributes that we should continue to encou rage. I also hope that gmid manners and consideration for others will never go out of style at Peace. They are certainly present to a sub- stantial degree in 1972. LOTUS: What action has Peace taken to adhere to the changing times in regard to clothing and curfew hours? DR. FRAZIER: Perhaps the best way to answer this ques- tion is simply to say that until last year, students ivere re- quired to wear skirts or dresses on campus at all times, and that until two years ago, students were required to wear hats and gloves to church on Sunday. (And, in- cidentally. Sunday morning church attendance ivas required.) In 1965-66-my first year at Peace-the curfew was 11:30 on Friday night for all college students; it ivas 11:30 on Saturday night for college freshmen and 12:00 midnight for college sophomores. Weekday curfew was 10:.iO for all students. You can compare these curfews with the hours we have now. There are a couple of other items which typify changes we have seen. When I came to Peace, all bedroom lights were turned out on week nights at 11:00 p.m. and all stu- dents were to be in bed. LOTUS: What projects have Peace students been involved in which allow them to reach out to the community? Do you feel that their participation has been successful? DR. FRAZIER: Through the Peace Student Christian As- sociation, during the last two years, we have tried to pro- vide a variety of opportunities for Peace students to pro- ride volunteer service in various community agencies, especially those dealing with children. There had been no organized effort prior to that time, and no staff time had been allocated to help coordinate any such effort. All in all, I feel that Peace students have responded very positively to the needs and opportunities in the community. I think most of us recognize this service as a part of our Christian duty. LOTUS: What is your opinion of the faculty-student rela- tionship at Peace? What makes it that way? DR. FRAZIER: I believe that the on-campus relationship between faculty and students is as close at Peace as you will find in any urban college. It seems to me that we have an unusually con- genial, cooperative, and helpful relationship existing between most faculty members and students. We make every effort to employ faculty members who irill relate and commu- nicate welt with studetrts.
