dents, many of these women, have
- even at this writing - been ac-
cepted and enrolled."
This means, that, along with the

... A Chat With President Richard LeTourneau
na~fts~
The first weeks of the college year
are always hectic for everyone! Reg-
istration, orientation, get-acquainted
meetings of all kinds. Getting settled
in dormitories and settling affairs
with the business office (there's no
way to skip this hurdle). Finding
one's way about the campus, locating
a church home and settling down to
the serious business of study.
It seems like students and faculty
alike - including the president -
are on the run constantly, from mor-
ning till late at night. But we all love
it! That's when LeTourneau College
comes to life.
There's nothing in all the world sodrove thousands of miles in the in-
terest of LeTourneau College.
The King's Men Quartet didn't let
much grass grow under their wheels.
Composed of Larry Loyd, first tenor;
Paul Grandlinard, s e c o n d tenor;
Charles Knecht, baritone; Cordell
Loken, bass; and David Cajas, pian-4*
Student wife, Donno Powell, points at two of the several new air conditioners already installed
on the campus.thrilling as to see so many young
people from all walks of life, and
from most of our states and many
foreign countries, milling about the
campus.
Some come from the farm, brown
and rugged, eager to learn. Others
come from the city, intense, also
eager to learn. They're wonderful,
these young people you sent us this
year. The cream of the crop. The
very best.
We feel our responsibility to them,
and to you, their parents. We pledge
to do our best for them. We'll pray
for them - and with them. We'll
teach them. We'll do our best to
mold their lives in a manner that
will fit them for a place of service in
life.
To do this, though, we need your
help. We, and they, need your pray-
ers. Write them, often, encouraging
them. (You ought to see them "de-
vour" letters from home.)
So by teaming together (you at
home and we at the college), we'll
try to give them a Christian educa-
tion that will help them fulfil Paul's
admonition to the Romans:
" be not conformod to this
world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and accept-
able, and perfect will of God" (Ro-
mans 12:2).ist; this group was accompanied by
Birne Wiley part of the time.
Ed Roberts spent his summer at
Grace Seminary working on his B. D.
Dr. Hellman studied at the Univer-
sity of Sorbonne, Paris, France.
Murray Bailey pursued his Masters
degree at East Texas State. Paul
Glaske took a graduate-level course
in College Business Management at
the University of Oklahoma. Harold
Fuller completed one-half of a two-
year seminar on Bookstore Operation
and Management. Robert Selby spent
the last nine months satisfying all of
his residence requirements for his
Ph.D. at the Case Institute of Tech-
nology.
