Lectureship opens with overview of Isaiah
The 76th annual Bible Lectureship began
Sunday night with Moodv Coliseum
filled with song.
-Before time to start President Roycc
flflbney said "I know it's not time yet. but I
Eilso know that we have several thousand
people in here that love to sing."
Randall Onstead Jr from Sugarland led
he estimated 6000 people in devotional
ongs and traditional hymns.
Money asked "Wasn t it worth the trip
stick hear the singing?"
Arny Sheffield graduate human commu-
icntion major from Ames Oklu.. said.
The -singing was just really amazing; it
as exciting and encouraging.
Bill Young director of church relations
flaid the coliseum was almost full
Sheffield said "I was surprised at how
many people .were there. It's encouraging as
a Christian to sec people with the same faith
come from across the United States to hear
speakers encourage one another and learn
about messages from Isaiah.
Money started by introducing the crowd
to the changes that have occurred recently
at ACU. He called attention to the new
sound system lighting and scats in Moody
Coliseum. He thanked the "thousands of
friends" who made the remodeling possible
and many people who had contributed the
$96.94 to recover a scat stood for recogni-
tion. Audience members looked to their scat
arms to read the plaques that stated to
whom the scat was dedicated.
Money introduced a man who he stated
had "extraordinary insight into God's
word" Dr. Burton Coffman 89who rcccnt-
7 was encouraged by the
thousands that. attended.
It made me look forward
to the lectures coming up
in the week
pana Bickley
ly completed a 37-volumc commentary on
the entire Bible which he began in the
I960's. The audience gave Coffman a
standing ovation for his achievement. He
then led the audience in prayer. '
Lanny Hcnningcr minister of University
Avenue Church of Christ in Austin gave
the message for the evening. Hcnningcr is a
1956 ACU graduate and has preached at his
home congregation since 1971.
The theme of the message "Worthy is
the Lamb" was a general overview of the
book of Isaiah. Hcnningcr recounted a time
in his life when he desperately needed God
and an old African-American song brought
his life back into focus. His lesson started a
week of lessons based on messages from
Isaiah "A Light to the Nations: Messages
from Isaiah."

Sheffield said "I enjoyed how he
showed the two faces of God in the book of
Isaiah."
Dana Bickley junior special education
major from San Antonio attended the open-
ing message and said "I had never attended
an evening lecture before only smaller day-
time lectures and I was encouraged by the
thousands that attended. It made me look
forward to the lectures coming up in the
week."
Jcnni Powell freshman elementary edu-
cation major from Amarillo went to the
opening lecture to receive credit in her
Bible class. "I can't believe all these people
traveled from so far'"she said. "This must
be something really special."

permanently installed camera cables proved invaluable to
production. The existing cables saved much time and labor
in preparation eliminating the hazard pnd inconvenience of
taping cable to the floors and stairwells of Moody.
Experienced camera operators and veteran director
Charlotte Hardison senior broadcast production major
from Abilene added to the quality of this year's Sing Song
production.
Less editing will need to be done because of the experi-
enced staff Davis said.
"It won't take long at all to get a final finished product"
said Davis operations dircctqr of ACU's TV station
KUHF-TV 7.
Videos of this year's Sing Song production can be pur-
chased through ACU Video Works for $20 each.
The videos will be available to students before spring
break.
Every fourth Sunday a group of about 60
people travels on a bus to Snyder to
minister to inmates in the Price-Daniel
Unit a medium security prison with 1000
to 1200 inmates said Dr. Rollo Tinkler
professor of sociology social work and
gerontology and department chairman.
The trips are designed to set up a mentor
program that pairs the inmates with mem-
bers of the group.
Brett Miller volunteer chaplain's assis-
tant and prison minister for Southern Hills
Church of Christ said the men enjoy see-
ing their ministering visitors.
'They visit with the same man once a
month and that gives the man a Christian
role model to be familiar with. They visit
on whatever they want but talk usually
gets around to the Bible" Miller said.
Tinkler said "Some of them haven't had
visitors in four years. You're all they've
got sometimes."
Tinkler's friend whom he mentored now
is free. The man was a successful business-
man in Detroit but became involved with
cocaine.
"It wrecked his life and his marriage"
Tinkler said. "Now he's just trying to put
the pieces back together." The two men
still keep in touch.
According to Miller men involved in
the mentor program first must complete
certain requirements.
The prison inmates must attend worship
services and participate in a course titled
New Life Behavior the material of which
is distributed by Christ's Prison Fellow-
ship a non-profit habilitative Christian
ministry.
Tinkler said "They have to really want
to do the mentor program to go through the
other things first."
Because prison members must complete
the program before being entered into the
mentor program prison ministry members
are not meeting prisoners who still fight
the world but people who want to know
how they solve personal problems.
Miller said "We don't get into trying to
change people's minds. We help them find
ways to meet their needs through Scripture.
We direct them to the scriptures."
Tinkler said the prison ministry mentors
and their friends sit across from the
inmates at tables in a large open area
watched closely by guards.

Jacobs said pieces of advertisement were
judged according to a point system. Works
that earned a certain number of points won
Awards of Excellence. Those that did not
earn enough points received citations of
merit. He said out-of-town judges were
invited to judge the pieces of work.
'It 's really nice having
your work recognized in
front of city leaders '
Stephen Jacobs
Jacobs said his creativity and willingness
to spend time on his work earned him the
awards He added that dedication and a
desire to be the "leader of the pack" gave
him the edge in winning the awards.
Jacobs said: "It's really nice jiaving your
work recognized in front of city leaders in
advertising. ... It doesn't rank you but it
puts your name out. . It's good exposure."
He said being recognized in a professional
manner encouraged him to be professional
in his work.
Jacobs added that because advertising
clubs exist all over the country employers
can relate to the award; therefore winning
the awards will strengthen his resume
Jacobs said Andy; Warhol artist and
graphic designer wrp created Campbell
soup and Marilyn Monroe advertisements
is his inspiration. He said he aspires to cre-
ate animations for Walt Disney.
Lockwood said he did not expect to win
the award and was grateful for the opportu-
nity to win because Abilene Ad Club is one
of the few branches that recognizes stu-
dents' awards.
He said the umount of time and hard
work he invested in his work probably were
the reasons his creations won the awards.
Lockwood said the awards probably will be
advantageous to him in the Abilene market
because many graphic design professionals
were at the awards ceremony.
