Installation of the glass panels over
the arch-shaped atrium of the new
business building should be completed
by Friday said JelTFletchcr of Project-O-Lhe
Corporation subcontractor in
charge of all the glass work in the new
building. .j
A crane will lower the glass panel? '
for the top of the arches into place.
Each panel is 4 feet by 6 feet in size is
nearly an inch and a half thick and
weighs approximately 350 pounds.
Fletcher said the glass workers will
be walking on the panels while install-
ing them.
The panels are tinted not clear so
walking on them will be like walking
on a floor he said. All the same he
said he would not be one of the ones
walking on the glass celling.
The tops of the arches will take 168
panels to complete and many more
will be used for the sides and front o( J
the arches.
Fletcher said installation of the glass
will begin Tuesday and should be
completed by Friday.
All glass work in the buildinfi should
be completed by May 10. If it isn't
Fletcher said with a laugh "I might be
coming to work with you."

Professor returns
after heart
By CAROL MCCARLEY
Optimist staff
Dr. W. Clark Stevens professor of
biology has returned to teaching after
undergoing heart surgery eight weeks
ago.
Stevens underwent surgery for aortic
stenosis a disorder in which" the main
artery of the heart thickens and doesn't
allow the required amount of blood to
go through.
The thickened valve was replaced by
a "plastic metal valve which lasts in-
definitely" said Stevens.
He was diagnosed in 1976 as having
aortic stenosis andin 1978 his condi-
tion worsened. His aortic valve was
"one-third as large as it should be."
Stevens also had surgery in 1978 to
remove his salivary gland because of a
tumor. j
The heart condition altered his
lifestyle. Stevens jogged long distances
until 1976 when it became "too tir-t
ing." He began experiencing chest
pains at this time and walking up
stairs also became quite difficult.
The heart surgery took four hours to
complete and Stevens stayed four
weeks in Baylor Medical Center in
Dallas.
Stevens visits a local cardiologist
every month to check the artificial
valve and to make sure the medicine
administered to him is effective. If the
surgery had never taken place said
Stevens his condition might have trig-
gered a heart attack. y
Stevens has taught at ACU sinct
1966 and before that he taught at Har-
ding University in Searcy Ark.

Bible teachers attend
Dallas regional meeting
By JESSE JOHNSON
Optimist staff
Five ACU Bible professors attended a
Southwest regional meeting for
Biblical studies organizations in Dallas
Friday and Saturday.
Attending the meeting were Dr.
Tom Olbricht professor and dean of
graduate studies in Bible; Dr John
Willis professor; Dr. Everett
Ferguson professor; Dr. Bill Decker
associate professor; and Dr. Lemoine
Lewis professor.
The meeting was conducted by four
organizations: the Society for Biblical
Literature a national organization that
studies the Old and New Testaments;
the American Academy of Religion
which emphasizes church theology
and ethics; the Association for Scien-
tific Religion which studies the
sociological aspects of religion; and the
American School of Oriental
Research which studies Palestinian ar-
chaeology said Olbricht.
The four organizations whose
members are mainly college pro
fessors meet each year in March to
present papers on topics their
members have been studying said K
Olbricht. The papers are presented td I j
other college professors and graduate
students at the meeting.
The information presented at these
meetings is used in a variety of ways
Olbricht said. Some of the information
is taught a universities some is
published in journals and some infor-
mation is published in books the pro-
fessors are writing.
The meeting had no central theme
or focus said Olbricht. Rather the
meeting's purpose was to allow pro-
fessors to learn more about their fields
of study.
Olbricht said the administration had' I
no specific interest in the meeting this '
weekend but does encourage faculty
members to attend these types of
meetings.
Olbricht is the secretarytreasurer
for the Sou(hwest Commission on
Religious Studies which is the manag-
ing body for religious activities in the
Southwest.
