Petition Progress
Is Disappointing
Indiana Trip Declared
'Challenging' Experience
By JEAN JONES
Brand Assistant Editor
It was a singing worn-out
wound-up group of students that
arrived on campus Monday night
after a long bus ride terminating
a week of student-led revivals in
Indiana.
The return trip began Easter
Sunday at 3:30 p.m. in Seymour
and included a dual tire blowout
at 4:30 a.m. Monday just outside
of Joplin Mo.
While changing tires the hy-
draulic jack failed and the bus
fell on the chest of the driver
pinning him under the rear!
bumper.
H-SU men raised the bus
enough for him to slide out and
he was taken to a nearby hos-
pital. There he received stitches
for a cut above his eye but no
broken bones or internal injuries
were found.
The H-SU group was taken into
Joplin on a school bus and was
able to leave on the repaired bus
at 10:30 a.m.
For many of the student mem-
bers of the 16 revival teams this
trip to Abilene was the climax of

"It was one of the most chal-
lenging things of my entire life"
said Homer Terry songleader in
Laconia. "The people were yearn-
ing for love and many of them
just wanted to talk to someone."
He said that one highlight had
been a hayride with 70 people
along the Ohio River. Terry
added that their Sunrise Service
had been by the river and that
as it was closing a barge named
"Peace" went by the group.
At Taylorsville two teenage
boys who had been in jail Mon-
day night for drinking were in
the revival service Tuesday night.
Carey Leech song leader at
Taylorsville said that he tried to
make friends with the boys
through a recreation program
which included basketball and
boxing.
Said Leech "One boy who had
never been to Sunday School in
his life came Sunday and two
others came who had not been in
a long time. We talked about sex
dancing drinking and smoking
and they had to come get us for
the morning service."
At the same church pianist
Debbie Tom of Hawaii taught the
girls hand motions to the hula
while they were sitting.
At North Vernon preacher
Larry Justice found the people
already visiting in the community
and ready for revival. He said
that it was hard to have social
gatherings because the people
wanted to be out and working.
Justice said that it was hardest
to get through to young people
who were 15-19 because most of
the kids drank all the time. One
of the unwritten requirements for
graduation was membership in
Alcoholics Anonymous he said.

Brand Staff Writer
Ralph Thornhill chairman of
the rodeo committee for Con-
gress reported on rodeo plans in
the March 31 meeting of Con-
gress. The theme for this year's
rodeo is "Red White and Blue."
The city college division is giving
$50 $30 and $10 prizes for floats.
Hardin-Simmons is also planning
to give prizes for floats.
Paul Christman reported few
people had picked up petitions
to run for campus elections. He
also stated that a talk-back ses-
sion with the president and vice-
president is being planned for the
candidates.
Campaigns will begin April 21
and the election will be held on
April 23.
Congress thought that the pro-
posed Bill of Rights had already
been acted upon by the trustees
but Dr. Elwin Skiles reports that
it awaits action by the adminis-
tration and students.
Dr. Sidles stated "There are
some statements In the proposed
Bill of Rights of which the ad-
ministration does not approve."
However he explained that
most of the Bill of Rights is now
in the working policy of the
school.
Before action can be taken a
group of students representing
Student Congress must meet with
Dr. Edward Groesbeck and Dean
Orville Cunningham to discuss
the policies.
Dr. Skiles explains "As early
as one year ago I stated that
there were items in the proposed
Academic Freedom of Student
which would require discussion
and clarification."
Dean Cunningham reported on
the Leadership Development Con-
ference. "I was skeptical at first
but pleased and impressed with
the day's activities. I am looking
forward to next year."
The report on SCOPE revealed
that most of the faculty seem in
favor of SCOPE if used construct-
ively and not for personal griev-
ance. Congress approved a letter to
Dr. Skiles concerning reconsidera-
tion of the cancellation of scholar-
ships for Student Congress presi-
dent and secretary. The letter
also requested consideration of
scholarships for the vice-presi
dent and business manager.
