President's message:
Welcome to TWC
by Dr. Jtrry Bawcom
It is indeed a pleasure (or me
to welcome you to the Fall 1988
semester at Texas Wesleyan Col-
lege. Whether you arc a return-
ing student, a freshman or a
transfer student from another in-
stitution, I am glad you have
chosen to be a part of the Texas
Wesleyan family.
Those of you who have return-
ed to the College have no doubt
been impressed with the physical
changes on the campus since you
were here last. I hope that all
of you will take time to tour the
new library and familiarize your-
selves with the services and op-
portunities it offers you. Also,
please mark your calendars now
with the date of the official li-
brary dedication ceremony —
Oct. 21, 1988 at 10 a m. You are
invited to both that ceremony
and to the campus-wide pre-dedi-
cation celebration on Oct. 20,
1988 at free period.
This is going to be a very ex-
citing year here at Texas Wes-
leyan. I look forward to seeing
many of you at events such as
Fine Arts productions, the Will-
son Lectures and sports events. I
urge you to get involved, partici-
pate in student activities and
make yourselves vital parts of
the College community. If you
do, I can promise you that the
College community will respond
in kind.

'Last Temptation' film
is food for thought

but I don’t have to like it. In the
film Jesus starts gathering His
twelve before He is baptized or
before He went into the wilder-
ness for 40-days and 40-nights.
The Apostles, with the exception
of Judas, are depicted as fairly
wimpy. This also bothered me,
but still this film bears merit.
It’s important to remember
while watching this film that it
is a work of fiction based on a
work of fic’ion. It does not claim
to be the Gospel according to
Kazantzakis or Scorsese. Kazant-
zakis wrote the novel as his
starch for understanding the dual
nature of Christ and I get the
impression that Scorsese made
the film for similar reasons The
movie is hardly scriptual, but it
doesn’t try to be. This film is an
all-you-can-oat buffet of food for
thought.
I would not be at all surprised
if the film is used in the class-
rooms of some of the less con-
servative schools of theology.
This movie won’t replace "King
of Kings," "Tho Greatest Story
Ever Told," or "Jesus of Naza-
reth" as your Easter Sunday
movie favorites, but it will make
you think about your beliefs and
appreciate the sacrifice that man
made over 2000 years ago all the
more. If you see it, see it with
an open mind. For five dollars,
you could do worse.

When a friend passes away,
the most natural thing to do is
to grieve. Grief is a way of say-
ing how much the friend meant
to us, and how much he or she
will be missed.
Once the sense of grief is
overcome, however, another
sense takes its place: a sense of
loss. Our lives seem empty, as if
there is an unfillable void where
once there was substance, life,
or meaning.
The College lost a good friend
when Faye C. Goostree passed
away last month, and we are
sensing the loss of Ms. Goos-
tree now. She founded and was
the benefactor of the Faye C.

Above all things, Ms. Goos-
tree had a committment to her
religion and to increasing the
involvement of women in society.
To her, the two were insepar-
able. Ms. Goostree worked with
both United Methodist Women
and Church Women United to try
to bring about a more active
role for women in politics, the
community, the church and
society as a whole.
She affected the College in a
very positive way, not only be-
cause of her progressive views,
but also through the Symposia,
which drew nationally known
speakers here and brought a
great deal of attention and re-
spect to the College. Through
her own generosity, Ms. Goos-
tree also made it possible for
20 women students to attend
and participate in the Symposia.
The special symposium scholar-
ships were a mark of distinction
and recognition of talent and
knowledge that the recipients
could be very proud of.
Vice President Loralee Pohl
described Ms. Goostree as “a
generous woman who supported
TWC, not only with the sympo-
sium, but also by attending Col-
lege events like plays. She want-
ed to do something for women.”
Ms. Goostree was the kind of
person who believed that one
should put back as much, or
more, into the community as one
takes from it. She showed her
willingness to do this through
the Women's Symposia, through
her activities with church groups,
through her attempts to bring
about change locally and through-
out the world, and through her
feminist ideals. She was not
afraid to say that women had as
an important role to play in
society as men; in fact, she was
proud of it.
Ms. Goostree was 87 when she
died. She had never slowed
down, never stopped urging wom-
en to believe in themselves and
never forgetting that sometimes,
women need a little support.
Katie Sherrod, a columnist for
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
and a panelist at one symposium,
described Ms. Goostree as “a
radical in the best sense of the
word. She was a change agent
... a woman of valor.”
That is the kind of people
that TWC really needs. That is
why we feel such a sense of
loss without her.
