Planning for Christian Focus
Week, which is scheduled much
earlier this year than last, has
already begun. The dates of the
special emphasis week are 7-11
Nov.
It was announced early this
week by Beverly Cansler, who is
a general co-chairman of Chris
tian Focus Week, that Dr. Elmer
West of the Mars Hill Baptist
Church has accepted the position
of overall co-ordinator.
A theme for the week was de
cided last Monday night. It is to
be “Raison D’Etre.”
Themes for Christian Focus
Week in recent years have been
exciting and thought-provoking.
The theme last year was “Chris
tianity and a-go-go,” and was
preceded by “Quo Vadis?”
All essential committees have
been formed and have begun
work. The volume of work to be
done has necessitated a large
number of committees and per
sonnel.
The Program Committee is
headed by Paul Early and Carol
Campbell. Serving on the Hos
pitality Committee as co-chair
men are Luther Rickenbacker
and Maxie Rayford.
Co-chairmen of other commit
tees are: Classroom Committee,
Tom Denton and Margaret Har
din; Spiritual Preparation Com

Hill Pep Club. A committee is
now working on a theme for the
parade. The athletic and music
departments have set up a re
viewing committee to approve all
floats for the parade.
A Senate nominating commit
tee led by Jim Kessaris recently
chose seven members from the
student body to serve this year
on the Student Activities Com
mittee. Those chosen are Scott
Samuels, David Foster, Ralph
Magee, Carol Campbell, Malcolm
Privitte, Peggy Jo Smith, and
Beverly Cansler. The duties of
this committee are to work with
the administration in choosing
movies, speakers, etc., and in
planning other activities for the
student body.

A newsletter to be published

by the students, reported Tommy
Denton, head of the newsletter
committee. A letter of this type
would be an asset to the organi
zation and would help further co
operation between our leaders
and the masses and would cer
tainly give an added boost to
school spirit and class unity, he
added.

Privette and Janis Elam; and
Music Committee, Bill Rotan and
Mary Rome Rector.
Christian Focus Week brings
to the campus some outstanding
Christians from a variety of vo
cations. There is a great deal of
student participation on commit
tees, in seminars, conferences, in
terviews, and mass meetings.
Dramateers
Stress Technique
The Dramateers are planning
a busy year, according to David
Jones, president. The program
emphasis is on learning rather
than on entertainment as in the
past.
Demonstrations of technical
points such as acting techniques,
scenery, etc. are in store. One-
act plays involving club members
will be utilized. A lecture on
behind-scenes television produc
tion is also in the making.
Next semester, the Dramateers
hope to obtain Dr. Alfreds Strau-
manis, director of the Asheville
Community Theater, as a guest
speaker. Although plans are now
indefinite, the club hopes to take
a field trip toward the end of the
year.
Excellence Is Building's Chief Purpose
Picture the Blackwell Building
towering over the campus from
a strategic position at the center.
It is an attainable dream!
Much has already been said
about the proposed combination
classroom-administration building,
and more will be said as the
school year progresses. It is not,
however, just another new build
ing in the continuing enlarge
ment of the college. It is a means
Hill Heads New Committee
Denny Hill, chairman of the
newly-formed Social Action Com
mittee, clarified this week why
the BSU formed the committee.
“This committee has chosen to
point out the action and give our
students a chance to get into the
life of acting instead of looking
and listening.”
“This year’s BSU believes that
the expression of life, maturity,
people, education, recreation, and
committment in the Christian
context needs to be seriously con
sidered by all students. BSU is
not an exclusive organization and
is concerned that students have a
better understanding of its na
ture and intentions. It is earn
estly trying to identify with the
cause of Christ and to engage all
students who want to share in
this purpose,” was the statement
given by Paul Campbell to fur
ther inform students of this ac
tion.
Mack Keller is going to be
working with the boys of the sur
rounding community and will
possibly start an R. A. chapter of
the Negro community. Jo Ann
Rollinson is going to be working
with the young girls in cooking,
sewing, and the general crafts of
homemaking.
Luther Rickenbacker and Ralph
Magee are heading a committee
that will seek to stimulate con
cern among our students on is
sues that will be of vital im
portance to their immediate lives.
The “coffee house” that has
been the vision of so many groups
will begin to become a reality in
the next few weeks as Martha
Morris and Wayne Hunt begin
using their committee for the
cleaning and decoration of the
basement of the Owen Building
for our “student coffee house.”
toward an end.
Think of the Blackwell Build
ing, says Dr. Fred Bentley and
his staff, in terms of its useful
ness. Think of how its facilities
will assist in the achievement of
excellence. Don’t think of it just
in terms of size, shape or loca
tion.
The proposed structure will
contain space and equipment for
a modern data processing center,
including a computer. This fa
cility will enhance both the teach
ing program and the records-
keeping activities of the college.
A functional, well-equipped
communications laboratory will
help faculty members in modern
languages, English and speech to
teach more effectively.
Visualize a modern 600-seat
lecture hall—not just another
auditorium—and you can see the
usefulness of another feature of
the proposed building.
The need for additional class
rooms is well known around the

campus. Here again the useful
ness of the proposed Blackwell
Building is obvious. It will allevi
ate crowded conditions in the
various teaching stations on the
campus and allow for future
growth.
Equally well known on the
campus is the shortage of offices
for faculty members and the need
for centralized and modern ad
ministrative offices. The pro
posed building is being planned
to provide these facilities and
meet this need.
“It’s obvious,” said one faculty
member recently, “that the em
phasis of the new college admin
istration is on persons and on
excellence. I suppose that is why
it seems better to talk about the
proposed Blackwell Building in
terms of its intended usefulness
rather than merely in terms of
its physical characteristics. After
all, what will count will be its
contribution to the achievement
of excellence.”
