i. i 1 TWO PHI BETA LAMBDA members, Gerald Henderson and Danon King comp Leadership Convention. Two Attend National PBL Convention . from the National Recognition of pre-professional excellence gained from active participation in college orga- nizations was a way of life for some college students, particularly those who held member- ship in Phi Beta Lambda Business Association. As a part of a national organization, the college ' s PBL chapter provided opportunities at state and national levels through regional meetings, com- petitions, and leadership workshops. Two offi- cers from the Carey association, Vice-President Gerald Henderson, and Recording Secretary Danon King pursued such when they attended the National Fall Leadership Conference held in Little Rock, Arkansas, in November as did PBL ' s advisor Dr. Carol Strickland, Professor of Business and Office Administration. While the two officers were attending meet- ings and workshops designed to improve their leadership skills. Dr. Strickland presented a workshop for other PBL advisors on Intergrat ing PBL into the Business Curriculum. The three Carey representatives were among 2,500 high school and college participants from a 12- state southern region. Indicative of the excellence promoted by PBL are its state and national level of competition in selected areas of business administration. The Carey chapter was well represent ed at national competition in July when Danon, the state win- ner in shorthand, brought home first place hon- ors once again. Although primarily a service-oriented associ- ation, PBL exemplifies all that lies behind the philosophy of student organizations at William Carey College by encouraging its student profes- sionals to stretch and achieve excellence in the business field prior to entering the post-gradu- ation job market. INSTALLING 40 new lights proved no small task for Mississippi Power Company as they better illuminated the campus.

For the Present Valentine Heads Down Under as Fourth Rotary Fellowship Recipient For an incredible fourth straight year, a Wil- liam Carrey senior has won a Rotary Internation- al Fellowship, paying all expenses to the gra- duate school of his choice anywhere in the world! Winning the fellowship this year is student body president Brett Valentine, a biology chem- istry major from Vicksburg. Brett will study bi- ology next year at Otago University in Dunedin, New Zealand, located on the picturesque South Island of the country down under. In addition, he will be an ambassador of goodwill as he addresses Rotary clubs and othej civic groups during the year. Brett ' s success marks a complete college generation of winners for Carey in Rotary Fel- lowship competition. With a winner six of the last ten years, this fourth-in-a-row follows the appointments of Randy Rawls of Forth Worth, who attended Canterbury University in Christ- church, New Zealand; Danny Barber of Ocean Springs, who studied at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia; and Gary Ro- berson of Toomsuba, who matriculated at the University of York in York, England. Interestingly all four had certain common characteristics: they were all pre-med majors; they were all intensively interested in missions; they were all members of the wrestling club (two were captains); and they were all committed to the ideal of CRUSADING FOR EXCEL- LENCE. And speaking of excellence, Brett was not only the first choice of the selection committee, as were the others, he was, according to the committee the unanimous choice.
