High school students to visit
By JotH Bsln
Naws Pages Editor
The Recruiting and Admission
Office has devised plans that
-will bring numerous high school
students to campus said Colleen
Blasingnme secretary for recruiting
' and admissions.
Plans began in early January to
prepare for the March 25-27 High
School Weekend which is reserved
to familiarize students with the
campus Blasingamc said.
She said their main goal was to
' arrange for prospective students to
visit the campus because those who
visit usually enroll.
Other events were planned in
coordination with High School
I Weekend.
A youth rally is planned for
7 March 26. Day Break an a cappclla
' musical group will perform.
Chris Scidman and Adam
Looncy both recent ACU gradu-
ates will conduct a devotional. Sci-
dman will prepare the devotional
talk and Looncy will lead singing.
In addition high school students
can take ACT tests. Campus tours
and financial aid information also
will be available.
Blasingamc said she expects 300-
500 students to attend fewer than
the number that usually attends the
fall High School Weekend.
She said visiting students will
need housing for the weekend and
allowing a high school student to
stay the weekend in a dorm room is
n good experience for both college
and visiting students.
Blasingamc said the weekend
allows visiting students a chance to
experience campus life and they
become acquainted with ACU stu-
dents by staying in dorm rooms.
She said both factors tend to make
high school students more comfort-
able on campus and considering
ACU as a possible university.
High School Weekend is not the
only event planned to recruit stu-
dents. A Bible Bowl is planned for
April 16 Blasingamc said. Bible
Bowl is a competition to test bibli-
cal knowledge and the focus of this
Bible Bowl will be Genesis she
said.
ACU students play a large role in
recruiting future students. Blas-
ingamc said the Recruiting and
Admissions Office depends heavily
on ACU students because they can
tell the high school students the
postivc aspects of the school. She
said the message is better received
when the ACU students transmit it.
"The high school students will hear
them before they will hear us" she
said.

in memory of deceased son
By Richard Stevens
Student Roportor
CU will offer a new scholar
ship to incoming students next
year. Wiley and Lauretta Baker

The scholarship fund has been
endowed with $300000.

of ACU who died in May 1993
from brain cancer.
He received a bachelors of busi-
ness administration degree in
accounting and was a practicing
CPA in Missoula Mont.
We plan to be
around for a long
time ... we are going
to need scholarships
like this
Bill Hilton
Ed Allrcd assistant director of
student financial services and a col-
lege friend of Mark Baker said he
was pleased with the scholarship.
"We're so grateful that the Bak-
ers sought to honor Mark in this
way" he said. "I encouraged the
Bakers to do this because I can
think of no better way Mark would
want."
Allrcd said he and Mark were
friends for a long time.
"Mark was one of the first peo-
ple I knew and we had a lot of
mutual friends" Allrcd said. "We
were freshmen together and went
all through school together. Mark
always helped us sec how much fun
life could be. He had a special
insight into the feelings of others.
He was a sensitive caring person.
"5 was blessed to have him as a
friend" he said. "Mark loved ACU.
ACU is honored to have a scholar-
ship in memory of him."
Bill Hilton vice president of
finance and administration emeri-
tus said "Mark was an exceptional
student. The Bakers have a long
history with ACU. Tills scholarship
will benefit students for years to
come."
Allrcd said he and others who
loved Mark Baker arc not finished
honoring him. "Those of us who
were friends of Mark have decided
to contribute to the scholarship to
help it grow" he said. "It will be
one of our largest."
Hilton said "We're making it
available to anyone who wants to
contribute.''
Allrcd said: "We need more
scholarships like this. 1 hope that
more people wilt be encouraged to
help the way the Bakers are. Others
may not be. able to contribute this
much but every little bit helps. No
amount is too small.
"Wc plan to be around for a long
time and as long as wc arc wc arc
