Senate Provides a Successful Year for T
From its initial call to order
on Sept. 2 10 its most recent
adjournment on March 9, the
Student Senate of Texas Wes-
leyan College has undertaken
numerous endeavors of the Stu-
dent Association.
Presiding over the 18 voting
members of TWC's Senate is
Terry Campbell. Taking the oath
of office at the 1971 Awards Day
assembly last April. Terry envis-
ioned many projects. Since then,
Campbell has seen a great many
of his projects "make it through."
The installment of a stereo
sound system in the Student
Union Building was his initial
project. This system provides not
only for the musical entertain-
ment of students, but also for the
facilitating of important student
government announcements.
Student Association suport of
national affiliation for TWC's
social Sororities and fraternities
was the first resolution brought
to the floor at the fall Senate
meeting. The Senate approved
this resolution, stating that it felt
national affiliation would be ben-
eficial to the recruiting efforts
of the administration.
In early September, the Senate
not only sponsored Howdy Week,
but also co-sponsored the IFC
Dance with the Inter-Fraternity
Council,' contributing S125 to the
cause.
In September, the student
government was represented at
Houston's National Entertain-
ment Convention by Campbell,
and other Senate members Larry
Armstrong, Claudia Smith, and
Nancy Montague. Reviewing mus-
ical acts from across the country,
ihey selected for TWC's 1971-72
Celebrity Series — the Happen-
ings, Danny Cox and Ron Coden.
Shortly thereafter, Student
Life Council Chairman Larry
Armstrong presented a proposed
schedule of films and lectures
for Senate approval. Both sched-
ules were passed unanimously by
the body of senators. As a result
Dr. Murray Banks, Jame* J. Kil-
patrick, the White Roots of Peace
Indians have appeared on cam-
pus. Marathon is scheduled for
April 10. Such films as "Rebec-
ca," "The Caine" Mutiny." Splen-
dor in the Grass." and "The Lion
in Winter" have also been pre-
sented.
Early in the year, Senate dep-
uties encouraged TWC students
to register to vote. A committee
for voter registration coordinated
this venture from Oct, 27 through
Nov. 3. Students of the college
requested a repeat performance
of this service in December.
In November, the Senate co-
ordinated a fund-raising drive for
the wife and children of slain
policeman Ed Belcher, a TWC
student.
December saw the Senate spon-
sor TWC's annual Christmas
Dance. It was held in Dora Rob-
erts Dining Hall, where attend-
ing students were entertained by
the sights and sounds of the Der-
ick Jones Party, rated as the
number one band in Texas.
The Senate also approved an
increased Student Activity Fee,
to go into effect in August of
1972. At that time, full-time stu-
dents will begin paying $20 per
semester instead of the past S15.
Part-time students registered for
six to eleven hours will be charg-
ed S5. The approved hike will
better accommodate such student
activities as the Senate sponsored
Celebrity Series, according to
Campbell.
In January. Campbell set two
sponsorships in motion. The sen-
ate's presiding officer set up a
ten-man committee, composed of
five faculty members and five
students, to study the pros and
cons of mid-term grade issuance.
Campbell was also responsible
for this year's school trip to Aus-
tin at a cost of S2 each. Tran-
sportation to and from Austin
was provided by the Senate,
through the use of their funds.
As a community service, TWC's
1971 • 72 Senate coordinated
Weekend-on-Campus, at which
nme 80 high school seniors wen
treated to several days on cam-
pus, major advisot counseling, a
chance to earn a semester's
worth of room and board, and
a night's entertainment at the
Fine Arts Auditorium .during the
spring run of "Hello Dolly." The
venture was considered by Dean
Lor a lee Pohl to be a success.
Soon Texas Wesleyan students
will be given a chance to cast
their votes for a newly-initiated
award to be given by the Student
Association of this college —
The Educator of the Year award
Having prompted all the above
listed projects. Campbell 'con-
siders still another project to
1m? his most important. In late
September. Terry started wheels
tuawsng that would lifter bring
a proposal to the Trustees* table
— a proposal regarding the re-
modeling of TWC's Boaz Student
Center. Contracted in September
by the Senate to prepare a re-
modeling design and a cost e.s-
tirnate was Keith Rawlings of
Foy Lawrence Company.
In November, Rawlings pre-
sented his multi-colored, many-
faceted SUB d<

Wood, a former Fort Worth.
Tex., evangelist, is pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Beverly
Hills, Calif., but the more pub-
lici2ed portion of his ministry is
.done outside the walls of the
church.
WHILE MOST big city church-
es make pitches for the money
crowd — the established, conserv-
ative, respected subdivision dwell,
ers — Wood takes his ministry to
the outcasts — the hippies, the
homosexuals, the night club
crowd and the "groo\-v set" of
Hollywood actors, actresses, pro-
ducers and directors.
' The First Baptist Church is
the only evangelical church in
Beverly Hills thus placing upon
it an awesome responsibility. It,
has responded with a four-fold
ministry dealing with Jews, the
straight community," single
young adults and the "street peo-
ple."
THE "STRAIGHT COMMUN-
ITY," as the 23-year-old Wood
calls it. represents the so-called
establishment, and actually makes
up a minor part of his
church's membership.

istries deals with the Jewish
community, where the primary
task is to break down the tra-
ditional Jew-Gentile hatred bar-
rier. .Qnce thteJs done, the min-
saW^ne Von verted Jews
"make the greatest Christians in
the world."
WHEREAS, THE number 'of
prospects in the "straight, tcom-
munity" is small. Wood said the
potential is unlimited in the oth-
er three areas of the church's
ministry. Unknown to many is
the fact that Los Angeles has.
'the world's third largest Jewish
population And the lure of a
possible screen career and Sun-
set Strip have attracted thou-
sands of movie enthusiasts and
hippies.
To reach the "groovy set,"
Wood 'and members of his church
"go where they are." to the cof-
feehouses. the nightclubs and the
restaurants. After establishing
friendships, these prospects are
invited into the apartments of
the church members for group
Bible study. Wood said this
fringe ministry" has been in-
strumental in attracting many
into the church.
TO WITNESS to the hippies,
the homosexuals and others like'
them, the Beverly Hills church
