BSU Retreat Held in Brandon Springs, Kentucky Several members of the BSU spent a refreshing week- end on a retreat at Brandon Springs in Kentucky. The 120 people attending the retreat participated in various activities during the v eekend. The theme of this year ' s retreat was Growing in Christ. There were Bible stud- ies each night with services afterwards. One of the high- lights of the weekend was a Gong Show conducted Sat- urday night in which many BSU members displayed their talent (or lack of it) in skits, songs, and other enter- taining acts. Sunday morning brought the retreat to a close. A song from Amy Evans and the concluding message delivered by Larry Murphy put a good wrap on the weekend. Even though bodies were tired and many were sleepy, the re- treat was a time of growth and spirits were renewed. A song from George Guthrie gives opportunity for reflection. Sunday morning services were held outdoors in the amphitheater.

President ' s Reception Is Annual Event The President ' s Reception is an annual affair to which the student body, the faculty, administration, and staff are invited. This year it was once again held in the cafe- teria. Attendance was relatively unhampered by rain, as the guests seemed to ignore the weather outside while enjoying good food and conversation. The reception provides a good opportunity to become better acquainted with faculty members. Also it gives the average student a chance to meet members of the admin- istration that he or she would not ordinarily come into contact with. Rev. and Mrs. Paul Williams (right) were special guests. Mr. Merv Yeagle and Ms. Denise Stevenson chat with students.
