He said he received a call from
Nancy Randall who Is in charge of
"a type of community service com-
mittee for the city of Abilene."
"She called and asked for help
because her committee is understaf-
fed and they don't have the means
to get more people" said
Mortensen.
Randall's committee also helps
next opportunities.
The units are located north of the
Mabee Business Building behind
the central heating and cooling
plant.
The units are part of a building
addition to the plant said
Rodriguez. Nine units were con-
structed. The sizes range from 168
square feet to 363 square feet.
Prices of the units vary. The
smallest costs $44 per month and
the largest costs $95 per month
with rent due on the first of each
month. A 10 discount will be
and is involved in tour manage-
ment merchandising with direct-
mail service and publishing.
The company was formed seven
years ago when Blanton joined
forces with Dan Harrell his part-
ner. Blanton said he handled the
creative aspects and Harrell an ex-
vice president of a bank handled
the business aspects of the company
when it was formed. Blanton said
the company received funding for
the first two years of its operation
but within two months the com-
pany was receiving an income.
Blanton who graduated in 1974
received the Alumnes of the Year
award and spoke during a luncheon
at the pro-seminar. He said
he began his studies as a pre-
medical or pre-dental student like
his father.
"It didn't take me but one
semester possibly two to figure out
that really wasn't my call in life"
he said. "It was very exciting to
move into the mass communication
field."
After he graduated Blanton said
he moved to Nashville Term.
because he enjoyed working with
people and wanted to work in the
entertainment field.

Nashville to immediately make it in

He said the haunted house could
be great publicity for ACU.

carnival and the haunted house so
you can bet all those He-man fans
will be showing up" said
Mortensen.

the music industry" he said. "I re-
ally did not think it was going to be
with contemporary gospel."
Two years later Blanton said he
found himself waiting tables at a
restaurant where the waiters and
waitresses wore costumes.
"I was Robin Hood. I had to go
down and buy some green tights"
said Blanton. "This was after I had
graduated and I think I'm going to
take the world by storm and here I
am buvine laree ereen tiehts.
"But there was also this dream of
something about being a Christian
and being in the entertainment held
that was always driving me for-
ward" he said.
Christians need to become more
involved in the entertainment in-
dustry to have a positive effect on
the youth who are growing up bear-
ing humanistic views in their music
and the movies they watch he said.
"It seems like there's always been
an attempt by Christians to exclude
themselves from the radio and TV
market" Blanton said. "I really be-
lieve that it's very important that
somebody have some kind of input
back into what is probably one of
the biggest industries."

Mortensen said the haunted house
will be open from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Cost will be 10 cents.
"I don't think two hours out of
Halloween night is too much to asjk
of any student especially since we'r
be making so many kids happy in
the process" said Mortensen.
He said those who wish to volun-
teer should call or go by the SA of-
fice before Friday.
for rent
"Some departments are renting
space off campus" said Rodriguez.
"We would like to keep the money
on campus and it is a good use ot.
available space." P
The prices are comparable to
local self-storage units. The average
cost to rent a local 120 square foot
unit is $54 per month. The ACU
price to rent 168 square feet is $44
per month and 183 square feet can
be rented for $48 per month.
Rodriguez is in charge of the
rentals. Interested people can con-

minded without any religious sense.
He said "We really wanted to be
a team that had both things
spiritually committed sold out in
our Christian principles not to be
negotiated away and very ag-
gressive in the entertainment in-
dustry." During a question-and-answer
session at the luncheon Blanton
said breaking into the entertainment
industry is not an easy task. Having
contacts knowing who is doing
what starting off at minor jobs anJ
persevering are the keys he said. w
"Just come to Nashville KnocK
on doors get a Job and tnen nang
out" he said. "And then come back
and knock on doors again.
"If you think you're supposed to
be involved in this don't let go of it
even if you have to wait tables"
said Blanton. "Those will be some
of your best memories down the
line."
Location also is important he
said. "I think you have to go
through a media center such as
L.A. Nashville New York or Lonaw
don."
People tend to buy albums for the
music rather than the lyrics he
said. The music must appeal to the
consumer but the lyrics must con-
vey the message of Christ he said.
