Survey Measures
Student Growth
By Eric Bush
As the school year draws to an end, it is
once again time to take the "values survey." This
non-academic test is taken by entering fresh
men, sophomones, and seniors. The purpose of
this test, according to Vice-Presidait of Aca
demic Affairs, Dr. Don King, is "to measure how
stirdent attitudes change over a four-year period
at M-AC. We want to see how M-AC helps a
student grow socially, ethitically and ^iritu-
ally." King also said that the information ob
tained fiiom the test is evaluated to see how the
college might be impoved.
BobGraham,agradualingsenic«r,reflected

socially, ^iritually, and ethnically, "Well, I still
don't have a girlfriend, but in all sincerity, 1 have
grown much closer to God since Fve been here. I
felt particularly challenged by Brad Daniel's

but Coach had faith in me and helped me to

Naj Alicea had some comments on Ikt
"Most of the pxxluctions in (lie past have been

(hat has an idea of what lie is doing, even though
sometimes he is a pain . But, as a whole. I’ve
enjoyed wrxking with him."
Tlie Greybeard Players are faced with a
dilemma There is no ideal place on campus to
have a production of a play containing more
than one act, (X set.
Although Gaither Chapel is not built
acoustically for the production of a play.
Arms and the Man is being performed there.
Also, the audience will not be able to sec the
characters clearly and may miss important
events hafpening on stage.
Because of (his problem. Director Brian
Fuller hqpes to find a building ideal for pby
relteaisals and pcrfonnances in the future.
