Test Dates For National Teacher
Examination Announced. Students
completing teacher preparation pro
grams, and advanced degree candidates
in specific fields may take the National
Teacher Examination on any of three
different test dates in 1977-1978. Ed
ucational Testing Service, the non
profit, educational organization that
administers this testing program, said
that the tests will be given November
12, 1977, February 18, 1978, and July
15, 1978, at nearly 400 locations
throughout the United States.
Results of the National Teacher Exam
inations are considered by many large
school districts as one of several factors
in the selection of new teachers and
used by several states for the credential-
ling of teachers or licensing of advanced
candidates. Some colleges require all
seniors preparing to teach to take the
examination.
On each full day of testing, regis
trants may take the Common Exam
inations which measure their profes
sional preparation and general educ
ational background, and/or an Area
Examination that measures their mast
ery of the subject they expect to teach.
Prosepctive registrants should con
tact the school systems in which they
seek employment, their colleges, or
appropriate educational association
for advice about which examinations
to take and when to take them.
The Bulletin of Information for Can
didates contains a list of test centers
and general information about the
examinations, as well as a registration
form. Copies may be obtained from
college placement officers, school per
sonnel departments, or directly from

C.S.M. Fall Retreat. Promises to Keep
and Miles to Go Together” — this was
the theme and emphasis of the 1977
Fall Retreat sponsored by the Christian
Student Movement. It began on Thurs
day, August 25 at the Campus Worship
and ended Sunday, August 28. Campus
worship was led by the keynote speaker
of the retreat. Dr. Charles E. Boddie,
president of the American Baptist Theo
logical Seminary in Nashville, Tenne-
see. His explosive presentation, through
music and preaching, presented both
deep insight and a creative challenge
to all those who attended his sessions on
Thursday and Friday nights and Satur
day morning. We also had the privilege
of being led in a Bible study on Satur
day morning by Rev. Richard Price of
the Mars Hill Baptist Church and of
hearing introductions by Dennis and
Diane Hill of the Student Counseling
Services, by Rev. James Long of Mars
Hill Methodist Church, by Rev. Ron
Bryant of Calvary Baptist Church, and
by Francis Browne for Miss Fitzgerald
of the Center for Christian Education
Ministries. The C.S.M. Choir added to
the worship experience Thursday night
under the direction of Tim Babb.
The Amason Twins, a country-gospel-
rock group and alumni of MHC, per
formed in the packed Timberline Coffee
house Friday night. After the concert,
refreshments were served in the snack
bar at a “get-acquainted-party”.
Saturday afternoon there was softball
at Fox athletic field and that night there
was a vesper service in Timberline led
by the C.S.M. President, Tina Pippin.
Then, in McConnell Gym, Wright Cul
pepper and Donnie Baldwin were em
cees at the annual Talent Show. About
forty students participated: the talent
was overwhelming.
A hike up Bailey, consisting of about
forty people, was led by Paul Haywood.
Later that afternoon, Randy Walker,
eSM Vice President, gave some closing
thoughts at Little Mountain.
Fall Retreat was only the beginning
of the plans the C.S.M. has for this year.
And indeed it was a “Retreat”, a reach
ing into ourselves so that we might
reach out to others. Again, the C.S.M.
includes the total campus, students and
faculty. We welcome your participation
in any way.
