The Sounding Board Vol. XXVII, No. 15, February 14, 1980 GRACE COLLEGE, Winona Lake, Indiana 46590 McGillen To Fresent Concert In McClain College Enrollment Continues by Barb Zimmerman How does a college that advertises less, has a smaller staff, and offers fewer scholarships than any other school the same size manage to have a continually growing number of students? Director of Admissions Ron Henry has offered several possible reasons. The students themselves are one of the best reasons for growth. Good students attract other good students and Grace students are good recruiters. The students of the last two to four years have been basically happy with Grace and have told their friends. The result of which is seen in having 790 students enrolled this semester, up 75 over a year ago, and a 15% increase is anticipated for next fall. The applications are still coming in. For example, between Feb. 4-7 the Admis- To Increase sions Office received 22 applications. You figure the rest. Another reason for growth is seen in the high standards at Grace. The administration has taken a stand for morals and the faculty is always ready to counsel and advise the students. Grace sees the need to remain distinctive and true to the Lord's purpose, and the people in leadership must not lose sight of that goal. Other schools may use gimmicks to attract students but Grace depends on the Lord's leading, first and foremost, to pick the students the Lord wants. Colleges are no longer restricted only to a few, and students want to know what you have to offer. Ron Henry tries to be honest in recruiting, rather than build the school up beyond what "It is and have disappointed students. Ron also offers continuity. There is a Personal Evangelism Day At Purdue Adventure and excitement were the predominant; feelings February 2, as over 115 Grace College students travelled to Purdue University to take part in this year's first major "Personal Evangelism Day." "It was my most exciting college experience," commented one student of the day-long excursion, which began at 8:00 a.m. with the loading of two diesel buses and three school-owned vans. Training sessions, taught on the vehicles by sophomores Tom Bennardo and Ron Smith, freshmen Zerin Crippen and Steve Garcia, and Chaplain Kevin Huggins, prepared the participants for one- on-one contacts, and upon arriving at the Purdue campus, the groups were on their own, travelling in twos, and witnes sing to patrons of Purdue's student union. Results of the day's labors were more than encouraging. Fifteen people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and over 30 others appeared interested in learning more about eternal life. In total, over 300 people were confronted with the Gospel and approximately 100 more were left with gospel tracts. Purdue's Campus Crusade group, as well as local Lafayette churches, will be doing extensive follow up of the seeds planted. The next planned Personal Evangelism Day on campus will be March 1, when again the group will be travelling to West Lafayette, to get the Gospel to those who don't know it. All are invited to take part. News and Notes PROFESSORS' PUBLICATIONS Two new publications in the BMH Discussion Series will be released this month. "Snatched From the Storm: A Case for Pre- Tribulationism" presents a brief outline-defense of this doctrine by Prof. Richard Mayhue, assistant professor of New Testament and pastoral ministries. Dr. Charles Smith, professor of theology, New Testament, and Greek, has written "The New 'Life After Death' Religion." This evaluates the stories about the life after death which are being widely circulated by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and Raymond Moody. GRACE JO URNALSCHEDULED The first issue of the Grace Theological Journal is scheduled for mailing on April 1. It will be published twice yearly under the editorship of Dr. John C. Whitcomb. In appearance and format, it will resemble the Journal of the Evangelical Theo- constant turnover at state schools in admissions work, but Grace has been privileged to have had Ron for 15 years. He tries to have inquiries followed up within 48 hours. The summer programs and activities also reach many people, especially through the use of Grace graduates and personnel. And the church support, through prayer and finances, helps to maintain the high standards and goals. There are so many factors for the continued growth of Grace that you can not pin it down to any one or two. There are a lot of plusses going for us through a well-trained and strongly dedicated faculty, the school's high standards, denominational support, thorough follow-up, and a high quality of young people who attract other outstanding young people. by Vance Christie Geoffrey McGillen, a successful pianist from the Ft.
