Baptist Educators Expand Cooperation with Missions KMOC 14-0 SGA Reports PAGE 14-Smoke Signals, • • • DALLAS.. Southern Baptist Covention (SBC) educators from across the nation, in three days of meeting here, heard reoorts of growing cooperative mionstries between Baptist educational institutions and SBC missions and confronted issues facing Baptist education. The Association if Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools, made up of 71 Southern Baptist educational institutions, and the SBC’s Education Commission which serves as liaison between the SBC and those schools, met at the Fairmont Hotel here in conjunction with the sessions of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The Education Commission voted to hold a Nation Colloquium on Baptist Education in June, 1976, in Williamsburg, Virginia, the week prior to the annual meeting of the 12.3-million member SBC in Norfolk, Virginia, and honored an outgoing member. G. E^rl Guinn, president of Louisiana College, Pineville, for 23 years, received a special plaque for his U years of service on the Education Commission, the longest tenure of any Com mission member. Guinn, who- served as Commission chairman, 1973-74, has announced early retirement from Louisiana College to become professor of preaching at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, in January. William G. Tanner, current Commission chairman and president of Oklahoma Baptist University, Shawnee, reported successful conversations with SBC Home Mission Board leaders about expanding cooperative efforts between the Commission and Southern Baptist schools to further the SBC’s missions and evangelism efforts throughout the United States. Preliminary ideas include informing students of needs and channeling them into Home Mission Board ministries, possible establishment of inter terms on college campuses led by Home Mission Board personnel and idea exchanges. Tanner suggested an ex ploratory meeting with the Education Commission, the Association of Southern ^ptist Colleges and Schools, and the Home Mission Board to discuss areas of interaction. Already, the Education Commission and the Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools have accepted a challenge to expand interaction with the worldwide efforts of the SBC’s Foreign Mission Board. Commission member, Daniel Grant, president of Ouachita Baptist University, Arkadelphia, Arkansas, gave an interim report on a trip to Japan and Hong Kong to study the educational needs (rf status of Seinan Gakuin University, Fukuoka, and Hong Kong Baptist College. The team of visitors included Ben C. Fisher of Nashville, the Education Commission’s exec utive director-treasurer; Grant; John Johns, president of Stetson University, DeLand, Florida; and Gordon Sweet, chief executive of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Grant said the team will give a full report on the schools and report on expanding cooperative efforts with the Foreign Mission Board when the study is com plete. In his report to the Com mission, Fisher noted that the 71 seminaries, universities, colleges, and schools have ex pressed overwhelming support of the 50th anniversary celebration of the SBC’s Cooperative Program unified budget and efforts to raise giving through diurches to $150 million. He said most of the institutions' boards of trustees have passed resolutions supporting the anniversary celebration and tiiat he expects it to be unanimous. Woodson Armes, executive secretary of the Texas Baptist Christian Education Com mission, addressing the Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools, dicussed how the two-million-member Baptist General Convention of Texas has confronted the grovring need to support Baptist higher education. He said the Texas Convention, responding to a survey which showed a declining percentage of the state’s Cooperative Program going to education, voted to give another million dollars to help support their 10 schools. That move, Armes said, will raise the state’s education budget from nearly $4.3 million in 1974 to more than $S.3 million in 1975. James F. Cole of Alexandria, Louisiana, editor the the Baptist Message, state wide news publication of Louisiana Baptists, challenged educators to do a better job communication their needs and concerns to Southern Baptists. “Southern Baptists,” he said, “should place top priority on Christian education. “We must convey to the public unashamedly that our schools teach Christian ethics,” Cole said. “Our nation has been boxed into the comer of situation ethics. There is a crying need for an improvement of ethics and every level.” SGA Legislature Meeting November 12,1974 The Constitution Committee submitted the following Am- mendments to the SGA Con stitution concerning membership to the Legislature. An ex planation followed the distribution of copies of the changes. There was a discussion and more suggestions, putting the list aside for a least a week for the final voting. It was brought up there were some members that were not attending and would not send in a resignation. A clause was found in the Constitution concerning impeachment of members, but it was decided to discuss this with Dean Lewis before action was taken. Annual Giving Fund Goal Is $50,000 (Continued from Page 7) states seeking qualified student applications for the 1975-76 academic year. Chowan’s business manager, Ben C. Sutton, reported on the efforts of the North Carolina Association of Independent Colleges and Universities to secure additional funds for needy North Carolina students at tending the 39 rejffesentative colleges. Sutton suggested that the advisors express their in terest by contacting their area state representatives and senators. Participating in the discussion was J. Guy Revelle, Sr., state representative of Conway, a member of the Appropriations Committee of the North Carolina General Assembly. Revelle is one of three new members of the Board of Ad visors welcomed by advisors’ chairman. Dr. Melvin Kunkle of Portsmouth, Va. The other new members are Henry S. Johnson, Jr. of Hamilton and state representative Roberts H. Jer- nigan, Jr. of Ahoskie. Preparation Is Key to Success The key to both success and enjoyment in college lies in your ability to use time wisely. In order to have fun while getting the most out of these years, you need to establish a pattern of good study habits and skills. Such habits and skills will help you get the necessary work done as the months and years go by, and you will handle exams with a minimum of stresss and a maximum of achievement. Authorities in education generally agree that successful preparation for an examination starts in the beginning of each term and continues throughout. Six overall steps are suggested: 1. Make a term study plan 2. Use good review techniques 3. Develop a confident attitude 4. Organize pre-exam hours 5. Pace the exam carefully 6. Reassess your work We spoke of the responsibilities of the Entertainment Committee and that the Legislature has to approve by a majority vote all dances, movies, etc. that it was sponsoring. This was brought up because some were unhappy witti the last dance and not knowing anything about it until two days before it was to take place. It was also put on a night in which something else was scheduled, making unnecessary com petition. The last thing brought up was the lack of support of the SGA by ttie student b^y. We discussed how to get them involved and their ofHnions. Many say the SGA does not do anything, so we will all ask what they want the SGA to do. A special notice will be put in the Smoke Signals inviting the students to the meetings so they will be aware of the fact that meetings are not closed. Before leaving, Steve Wilson asked why we could not sponsor a bus to the last football game. He stated that he knew of many interested in going. Robin Lewis, Chairman of the Boosters Committee, will check on it in the morning and if this is possible posters will be made as soon as notice is given.

MAKE A TERM STUDY PLAN At the beginning of each term develop a daily schedule that allows time for class preparation, study, review, recreation, eating and sleeping. Your ability to adhere to the plan will be a measure of your success. A study area, conducive to learning, is important. Make sure it has good light and all the tools you will need.

SGA Legislature Meeting December 10,1974 The first order of business at this meeting was the election of a new Vice-President. Drew Rivenbark had resigned from the presidency, with Kathy Clhallenor moving up to the position. Nominations were taken and Jack Quinn and Robert White ran for the position. The vote was taken and Jack Quinn won. Now that Jack was Vice-President the position of Auditor needed to be filled. There was one nomination made, Gary Carter. He was voted in unanimously. The ammendments that had been presented two weeks earlier were reread and voted on. They were passed as they stood after some discussion. The next order of business was to vote on a suggestion of the Executive Officers. It was proposed that three movies be ordered ofr the showing in the colder months of the year and ttiat a dance a month be given. This was approved after discussion. The idea of making the dances and movies free to the student body free was suggested since they had already paid for these things in their tuition. For the big concert of the semester, $3.00 tickets would be sold to raise money, this way we would know whether it was the majority of the students were interested in the concert. If not the money would be refunded and the money left in the SGA Treasury would be spent on other items. This was approved and plans will now begin to be made. It was suggested that a “Sock Hop” be given in honor to the basketball team as that they had done so well so far, this was favorable and passed. Plans were begun for a Talent Show as a money making project for the concert. Names were taken for interested people for participation in this project after the meeting. Respectfully submitted, Cathy Hemmila, Secretary J «
