The Sounding Board Vol. 28, No. 25, May 7, 1981 GRACE SCHOOLS, Winona Lake, Indiana 46590 Dear "Word Sheet" by J.W. Turner Executive Editor Another year has nearly passed and it seems that the attitudes exhibited at the beginning of the school year are still alive and kicking after many attempts to kill them. In this same time period the Sounding Board has printed 25 issues, including this one. All of these issues were aimed toward a specific goal, and each was prepared so as to improve upon the one preceeding. Many great lessons have been learned as a result of this endeavor, and everyone on the staff has made great progress. Anyone who suggests that we have failed in our goals neither knows what goes on behind the scenes, nor has any concept of what true progress really is. The first step the Sounding Board took this year was to improve the general overall appearance of the paper. This was achieved by a new masthead, and better layout techniques. The second step was to drum up some good writers to fill the pages with quality material. We have found some good writers, and I can count them on one hand. Our writers are overworked, sometimes writing four to six articles a week, and this on top of heavy study loads. This does not lend itself to quality reporting. Our page editors do a fine job, but they are understaffed and have little back-up, and I as executive editor am still trying to find the rumored potential that is supposed to be lurking around on campus. If anyone has any information leading to its where-abouts please contact me. I am sure it can be utilized. Apathy, despite popular opinion, is running rampant on the Grace College campus. The Sounding Board is just one small example of its practical outworking. We talk a lot, yell a lot, and complain even more, but we seem to be short on action. The Sounding Board has one more issue this year, and new staff will be needed to move forward next year. We are all concerned over the quality of writing that is coming out in the Sounding Board, and next year's editor will strive to improve on this year. The best way that we can show true concern is to apply all of that potential sitting out there. Next year's editor will need a lot of help, because no one can do it alone. Stop complaining and start acting, and ask yourself this question: "Where can I help?" We Want You Can you string together two coherent sentences in a row? Have continuous parallel lines on a white page always intrigued you? Have you ever read, seen, or heard someone talk about a newspaper before? If the answer to any of the above questions is "yes" then the Sounding Board is just the thing for you. The Sounding Board is looking for a few good men and women to fill next year's staff positions. Positions will be available for Executive Editor, page editors, assistant page editors, writers of all kinds, circulation staff, photography, and business positions. Anyone working on the Sounding Board receives credit pro-rated to the position. This applied credit is required of all journalism minors. Applications for next year's positions are available in the Development Office and at Dr. Myron Yeager's office in the library. A meeting for all interested will be held Tuesday, May 12 at 8 p.m. in the Seminary Lounge. Your attendance at this meeting will better give us an idea of what we need for next year. May Day Celebration Is Here by Mark McClenning Tomorrow Grace College will, hold its annual May Day celebration, sponsored by SAB. The theme for this year is "A County Fair." The fair is going to be set up in the Billy Sunday Tabernacle. Different organizations from the school will be sponsoring different attractions in booths placed around the tabernacle. Every class is going to have a booth. Organizations like Alpha Chi, SEA, and the Business and Accounting Club are also involved. Some of the games featured will be traditionals like a bean bag toss, darts and balloons, and sponge-in-the-face. Other attrac tions will be a dunking machine, a spook house, and a nostalgia theatre. Clowns and a roaming band will be mmgling in the crowd too, plus a few surprises by SAB. To participate at any of these booths, a person will have to buy a ticket sold by SAB at the door. Tickets will be a dime apiece. If a person wins any game he plays, his ticket will have his name put on it and dropped in a bucket. The other tickets will be put in another bucket. Both buckets will be counted after the fair, and SAB will pay the booth ten cents for every ticket. The buckets of winning tickets of all the booths will be put into a big barrel. From this barrel, 15 to 20 tickets will be drawn, and the people whose names appear on the tickets will be awarded prizes of stuffed animals. The schedule for the day looks like this: After a morning of shortened classes, lunch will be served down at the park by Billy Sunday Auditorium. The doors at the tabernacle will open at 12:30, and the fair will officially open. At 2:30 the coronation of the May Day queen and king will take place. The games will end around 4:30, and the drawings for the prizes will be taken. All the activities will end around 5 p.m. New Professors For Next Year by Mark McClenning Next year there will be two new faculty members here at Grace. One of the new professors will be Mr. James Nes- bitt. He has taught part-time at the school previously, but this time he will be hired on as a full-time faculty member. Mr. Nesbitt is a graduate of Princeton University, Dallas Seminary, and Grace Seminary. He is presently a doctoral student at Middlebury College and Grace Seminary as well as serving for Unevangelized Field Missions as a field superintendent. Mr. Nesbitt will become an assistant professor of modern languages. The other new faculty member is Mr. Lowell Owens. He is a gradute of Bob Jones University and George Washington University. He has served as an instructor at Charles County Community College and as a certified public accountant with the General Accounting Office of the U.S. government. Owens will hold the position of associate professor of business and accounting. AT BRIDAL RECEPTION recently were, from left to right, Beth Anderson, Amy Wilging and June Vanover. (Photo by Leslie Rice) Concert Series Continues A seventy-five member symphonic band from Cedarville College will appear at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 8, in the Homer Rodeheaver Auditorium. The symphony is appearing as the concluding program of the 1980- 81 Grace College Cultural and Lecture Series. This ensemble, one of five large groups from the Cedarville (Ohio) College music department, regularly tours over spring break and performs a major concert on campus each quarter. Members of the group, selected by audition, perform a variety of sacred music while being exposed to other high quality sym- honic band literature. The symphony is conducted by Michael P. DiCuirei. A graduate of the University of Michigan, DiCuirei is concluding his second year with the symphony. A NEW PRESIDENT WORLD SCENE by Tom Knight Just when the world oil glut has Mexican government officials on edge, the tourist trade—Mexico's number two foreign-currency earner after oil—is also taking a nose dive. In Acapulco, hotel occupancy is at its lowest level in fifteen years. In the coming months, says a leading Mexican bank, tourism may drop a further 12%. Experts see no easy answers to the crisis, because Mexico's 29% inflation rate and the international economic slowdown have combined to make a Mexican holiday too pricey for many foreign visitors. * * * As Yougoslavia marks the first anniversary of Marshal Tito's death, Belgrade officials are seriously worried about the country's rising ethnic tensions. The latest bone of contention is the 1984 Winter Olympics. Slovenes are balking at contributing to the construction of a $160 million Olympic site in Bosnia-Hersegovina. They maintain that fine facilities already exist in Slovenia. But holding up the games in Bosnia was part of Tito's own blueprint to pump money into the depressed area. He was convinced that economic development is the surest long-term ways to defuse the country's dangerous ethnic rivalries. * * * State Department officials have been keeping a watchful eye on Alexander Haig's mail since his differences with the White House broke into the headlines. And they say that public reaction has been heavy and overwhelmingly favorable—an unusual development, since secretaries of state generally attract negative letters and telegrams. The recent count is 511 letters supporting Haig or praising his performance on the day President Reagan was shot, versus only ten reproachful letters. Then again, it's not the public that Haig has to worry about or please, but just the President. There he hasn't fared too well. While spectators cracked the inevitable jokes about Japan's take over of American roads, Toshihiko Seko, 24, sped out of the pack to win the 85th Boston Marathon with a record time of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 26 seconds. That left four-time winner Bill Rodgers, 33, trailing in third place behind Craig Virgin, 25. "I respect Bill Rodgers," said the Tokyo salesman. "In Japan, when you respect somebody, you show it by going beyond his achievements." Setting the women's record for the race was New Zealander Allison Roe, 24. She finished seventeen minutes behind Seko.
