Kaminer
Hosts
Seminar
Business Professor Bill
Kaminer is hosting a seminar on
personal finance the first and third
Mondays of each month. The semi
nar is open to all faculty, staff and
students.
Kaminer intends to discus eco
nomic issues from a Christian per
spective, dealing with such topics
as God’s idea of wealth; what the
Bible says about the desire to get
rich quick; and Scriptural advice
about savings, debt, and planning.
The discussion of these issues
will provide a firm foundation for
the pursuit of some practical appli
cations in the areas of budgeting,
insurance, and saving for retirement.
Kaminer insists this is a low-
pressure seminar — no tests or pa
pers will be required of attendees.
Interested persons should bring pen,
paper, Bible and calculator to room
303 of the Belk Campus Center at 3
p.m., Monday, November 16.

Red Cross Blood Drive
- Tuesday's Low Turnout Could Mean New Strategy
of Incentives for Spring Semester
By Phil Parker
Last Tuesday, the Ameri
can Red Cross set up their equip
ment in the lobby of McGregor Hall,
in order to take blood from the
strong-willed and to nauseate the
light-headed. A goal of 50 people
was set before the blood drive started
and after the day was complete, 30
people showed up with a total of 24
productive donors. Included in the
24 donors there, were 4 first time
donors.
Tom Hilgers said about the
blood drive, "The turnout could have
been better and that could have been
due to the location; there was lim
ited space in McGregor." The Red
Cross will be here again in the spring.
Hilgers wants the spring drive to be
better advertised and to add some
incentives to get more people to
show up. "Maybe we’ll have a pizza
party or something for the hall with
the best turnout," states Hilgers.
A special thanks goes out to
the students who gave blood, to the
Sophomore Class President Jeff
Reardon, and the other students for
all their help with the Blood Drive.

Team confidence high going
By Eric Bush
After completing last year as
an "unofficial team," the first offi
cial year of the M-AC Academic
Competition Team begins with a
match Saturday, Nov. 7, at Lee Col
lege in Tennessee. Team members
include Naj Alicea, Kim Trapnell,
Jeff Reardon, and Mark Wright.
Wright, a Freshman, is the new
comer on the team, and said he has
made the adjustmenteasily. "Idon’t
really feel like a newcomer, be
cause I competed on a similar team
in high school. Also, Naj, Kim, and
Jeff have treated me as an equal
from the beginning," stated Mark.
An academic competition con
sists of a predetermined number of
rounds in which there are ten ran
dom questions each. The competi-
into year's first contest
tors use hand-held buzzers to buzz
in as quickly as possible with the
correct answer. If correct, the team
is rewarded with a bonus question.
The categories of the questions are
as follows: Language & Literature,
The Arts, Religion, Philosophy,
Social Science, Science, Math,
Popular Culture, Sports, and Cur
rent Events.
According to returning team
member Jeff Reardon, the team is
confident and ready. When asked
how he felt about the team’s chances,
Reardon gave this reply: "I feel that
we are strong in all areas, and any
one competing against us had better
be saying their prayers, because we,
the M-AC intellectual gods, are tak
ing no prisoners this year."
