Page 6 October 27, 1977 Students Reprimanded for Theft -AP release- Four Roanoke College students have received a lesson in old- fashioned virtues. Police said the four had furnished their dormitory rooms with chairs and plants stolen from houses near the campus. The two girls and two boys - three freshmen and a sophmore - walked in a procession from the Salem police station to the owners’homes Tuesday. They were embarrassed by the presence of a reporter and a camera, hiding their faces beneath the chair cushions. For more than a mile they walked, balancing the purloined goods on their heads with a police car following. The first stop was a house two blocks from the campus. An American flag over the pillared porch and a brass plaque proclaimed the house a Salem landmark. The antique wicker rocker returned by the students was part of a matched set. The owner of the house, Clift Powell, accepted their apology gracefully. .imu- “Theyte good kids,’he said. This was just a prank for them.’ The group came to its second stop a few blocks later. Two rockers and a pair of hanging ferns had been taken from the porch of Ruth Hendersonk bungalow. She got it all back except for one chair. Two chairs were carried to her house but one apparently belongs elsewhere. “ I feel sorry for these kids,’Mrs. Henderson said as they left her yard. “They face so much temptation.’ Police Chief Harry Haskins said Mlii 4 , ■ y forcing the youthful offenders to face their victims and apologize was preferable to arresting and trying them. “Itn sure this was a lark and they didnt realize the full consequences of this including a record which could follow them to their graves,’Haskins ^^Mack Johnson, the assistant dean of students, also approved the ac- ^'Tohnson said his staff found the missing items in the rooms arid talked with the students involved. He said there was a possibility of internal disciplinary action, in cluding suspension of the students. But he said no deeision has been made. , , xu • “These kids have learned their lesson,’Johnson said. “Theyi-e very repentant at this point.’ Phi Theta Kappa Projects An active group on campus is M A Cfe Phi Theta Kappa. During the next few weeks the members of Phi Theta Kappa will be heading several different projects for the students here at MAC to get involved with.

BARRON SCARBOROUGH BEFORE 3-D BARRON SCARBOROUGH AFTER 3-D Liose Weight with 3-D By Sammy Feldman They are a group of losers and proud of it. Every Tuesda^vemng at the Student Health Center a “discipline group’meets for an hour. Then- pwpose is to gain an understanding of the Biblical pnnciples ^‘S^iphne Md discipleship. Their disciplines are varied and demanding, and they range from no sugar or snacks to daily scripture reading.

They came upon the idea of a diet, discipline, and discipleship group. Barbra Massey h^d about it and last year in February it became an orgMized gr^ ot campus. It was successful last spring, it is a success now, and is ex^^ t^ a suc^ in the future, since the students invdved intend to make it a per manent student organization for all those inteiwt^. Vice-President Van Womble had this to say, 3-D is an excellent program because it really helps me to rely on God during my weaknesses. Itk not only a dietary program, rather ite a guide toward greater spintu^ ^owth. pother member, Margaret Bender commented, “the most irni»rtMt thmg^t Ive learned is that every minute in my life is important and the drive that I would^ normally use to be eating or snacking IVe been able to vise more vnsely. Pamela Horne said, “the best thing 3-D has done for me is given me a c^ge in attitudes on life, school, etc. ItS given me an added boast or a committment to work towards besides school.’ . j ^ ’The meaning of diet, discipline, and discipleship for the group is d®*jved from the Bible. The early disciples of Jesus tad four major (1) Deny yourself, (2) Forsake all, (3) Take up the cr^, and His word The whole idea boils down to whether the Christian is to follow hK own will or foUow Godk. The President of the group Geniese Gruner rays, 3-D is essentially a discipline program. The basic pattern for disciplme to every area of my life. I thank G^ for what He has taught me 3-D, not just for the physical difference of weight loss, but more importantly the to^ change in my attitudes.’
