ject only about 200 people were
expected to attend said Pam Green
secretary of Alumni Relations.
"But responses from the families
just kept pouring in" she said. "All
of the sudden people who we had
not contacted in regard to the reu-
nion started calling us."
i Despite all the turmoil associated
with the numerous unexpected ar-
rivals Teague said the reunion
went well.

and 189 three-generation families

Optimist Staff
A total of 221 pints of blood
were donated by ACU at the

tian Homes of Abilene which
ended Thursday.
The pints will help subtract
$5525 from the organization's
$33000 bill said Tim Yandell
director of development for
Christian Homes of Abilene.
The bill will be paid to Hendrick
Medical Center for the medical
costs of the women who need
hospital care from the home.
The Meek Blood Bank in
agreement with Hendrick Medi-
cal Center allows Christian
Homes of Abilene a non-profit
organization to receive a $25
credit for each pint of blood do-
nated. Christian Homes of Abilene

students to give and keep giving
in the upcoming blood drives.
Participation seems to decline as
the year goes on he said.
lie said he hopes to see the last
blood drive of the year become as
big or bigger than the first.
The home also conducts blood
drives at local churches including
Highland Church of Christ and
Southern Hills Church of Christ.
Highland usually has two blood
drives a year. Southern Hills is
planning to conduct a blood
drive Nov. 29 he said.
The blood drive at ACU was
the first of the year and took
place Sept. 20-22. Three addi-

"It just shows what a great and
special place ACU really is when a
family can continue to send their
kids to the same school. I hope that
I can make it a fifth-generation
tradition someday" said Cara Lee

the McCaleb family.
Members of all three-generation
families were awarded a certificate
of appreciation for their continued

possibility of more reunions in the
future is great Green said.
"We will review the things that
happened this time and then make a
decision on whether or not to have
another reunion" Teague said.
"But I will definitely vote for it."

direct line of three or more genera-
tions of students who have attended

Selecting jury
may slow trial
By JONATHAN WITT
Senior Staff Writer
After choosing a fourth juror Mon-
day the defense lawyers for the cap-
ital murder trial of James Edward
Clayton said the Oct. 3 trial date
would be moved to a later date
because the jury would not be
selected by then.
Clayton is accused of kidnapping
and murdering Hawley school
teacher Lori Michelle Barrett Sept.
18 1987. Her body was not found
for 1 1 days.
"There's no possible way there's
going to be a trial on Oct. 3" said
Bobby Clark one of Clayton's law-
yers. Prosecuting attorney Jorge Solis
said he would suggest the trial
opening be moved to Oct. 10.
But Clayton's other lawyer Ken
Lcgget said "The 10th is absolute-
ly out of the question." He said
jury selection probably would not

The tournament was Sharp's first

The four jurors selected are men.
The most recent two are 32- and
53-years old.
The. court had questioned 34
potential jurors as of Monday even-
ing. The defense had struck eight
potential jurors without giving a
iegal cause and the prosecution
four Lcgget said.
Each is allowed 15 strikes without
cause. Court administrator Carolyn
Dycus said jury selection should
speed up after the defense uses up
its 15 strikes.

After preliminary competition
ACU's teams were scheduled to
compete against each other. Cardot
had to decide which team to send to
the next round.
"It is our policy that if this hap-
pens we choose the team which has
done better in that particular tour-
nament and Morgan and Lynette
had a better record in the
preliminaries" he said.
However Hampton and Heard
are still the senior team and without
a doubt one of the best in the na-
tion Cardot said.
Last year Hampton and Heard
were ranked seventh in the national
rankings and Cardot said he ex-
pects them to do well again.
"They can beat anyone in the
country if things go well" he said.
Hampton said he thinks the ACU
team of this year is better than
teams of the past few years.
"The competition was excep-
tional in Kansas City and we did
well but I think we were only
average. We have great potential
and hopefully we'll be able to real-
ize it by the time nationals roll
around" he said.
The debaters will compete again
this weekend at Oklahoma Christian
College in Oklahoma City.
