Organized as a creative response to the challenge of a chapel speaker from the central area, Operation Friendship continues to offer chil- dren from Seattle's central district the opportunity to share in friendship with a college student. Overcoming the barrier of race and environment, these children begin to realize that someone does care about them and is willing to share the en- joyment and excitement of new ex- periences, and perhaps to help with the perennial problems of homework. What child doesn't thrill to receiving friendly letters addressed to him alone, phone calls or even spending a night or weekend here on the SPC campus. A visit to a firestation where he ful- fills a wish to view the world from high atop a gleaming fire truck, where imagination soars and wind seemingly tears his breath from him, holds fascination for any young boy. SPC students, too, receive an educa- tion as they learn to know the streets, the clangor of sounds, and the always changing pageant of city life which surrounds the daily life of their young friends. With new insight these stu- dents realize the many problems existing in the inner-city of every large city. i r S r v 5 1 , Q,-..,evf'fe,' 'P-'MMC' ty 'Q 'f Q, ff '. afga, ' , .egg N - ,1 . -5 :Wy .ll , , ,fr 52'?L',, , . .- 94' X1 L i '- q ' it ::2,,, : - Xxx ng? .1 I E' . -. iff' z Qperotion Friendship

The 1966-67 women's forensic squad placed third in the nation in the Pi Kappa Delta women's sweepstakes held at Wisconsin State College with 165 colleges and universities in com- petition. The men's team placed in the top fifty per cent. Angie Doane, Marcia Boutell, Mary Ellen Robertson, Mike Hazen, and Greg Kinloch from this team returned to Seattle Pacific for another year of action. Throughout the year over twenty-five trophies were won in some 8,000 miles of travel. Eleven tournaments were en- tered: Lewis and Clark, Central Wash- ington State College, U. of Oregon, Montana, U.P.S., S.O.C., and University of Puget Sound. Interaction continued at Sacramento in the Western Speech Association Tournament, and at the Pi Kappa Delta regionals in Idaho. Paced by JoAnne Richmond and Ralph Carlson, who won first place in Lincoln- Douglas Debate and Original Poetry Reading, the forensics team brought home the third-place Sweepstakes Trophy from the prestigious Linfield Tournament of Champions, the largest and oldest college forensics tourna- ment in the Northwest.
