Spilman Auditorium will be held at Ridgecrest Baptist Conference Center, Ridgecrest, N.C., July 30, 1973, at 11 a.m. Principal speakers will be James L.

The organ is an Allen Digital Computer Organ, custom built and installed in Spilman Auditorium in June, 1973. The tuning is computer controlled so it never needs tuning. A transposing device enables the organist to play in any other of 12 keys by turning a multi-selector switch that shifts the pitch of the organ in chromatic sequence.

An electronic card reader can activate a variety of extra stops. The auditorium has two new pianos, air conditioning and a complete new sound and lighting system designed for multimedia and dramatic presentation in addition to normal usage.
