Special to The Rambler
By Kathy Walker
Have you ever attempted to lo-
cate the Sone Building but ended up
doubting its existence after wander-
ing around the west side of campus?
Has a student tried giving you direc-
tions only confusing you more? Now,
Now, thanks to the Beta Kappa chap-
ter of Sigma Alpha lota (SA1), a mu-
sic fraternity, locating the Sone will
be no problem.
At an outdoor ceremony held last
Friday, Beta Kappa donated a sign for
the Law Sone Fine Arts Building. The
sign will serve as a temporary marker
until a permanent sign, which will Ik
paid for by money raised by Beta
Kappa, can he decided by the admin-
istration.
Arrangements for the sign's pur
chase and installation were made by
Quentin McGown. director of alumni
and constituency relations, who
opened the ceremony, recognizing
Vivian Sone, Beverly Elbert and other
alumni present.
Vivian Sone, wife of Law Sone
who was the former dean and presi-
dent of Texas Wesleyan, and her
daughter, Elbert were presented with
a long-stemmed red rose, a tradition
of S AI's. Elbert and Vivian Sone said
their whole family were grateful for
honoring Law Sone.
Elbert said she remembers
fondly living on campus and riding
her tricycle around the fish pond
which is now the fountain.
Elbert said she recalled her
father's administration during the
Depression when tuitions were some-
times paid with chickens, sides of
beef or whatever students could af-
ford.
The Sone building is used daily
by fine arts students and it's also used
as an aSssembly/concert hall for events
such as The Will son Lectures, fresh-
man orientation, recitals for guest art-
ists and various community engage

Managing Editor/The Rambler
"If we are only in the business of
helping students get a degree and do
not help them find something in their
hearts to help others, then Wesleyan
should not be here," said President
Jake Schrum to alumni and parents of
potential freshman in the Fine Art
Auditorium on April 22.
The forum,.attended by approxi-
mately 60 people, was pari of
Wesleyan Weekend, which is coordi-
nated by the office of alumni relations.
Schrum discussed the university's
current issues which included enroll-
ment, finances and student quality. He
said, "In a faculty meeting last week,
I told the faculty that things are good
i nd getting better."
Enrollment is up. the budget has
been balanced and students are excel-
ling and achieving goals beyond the
university level, said Schrum.
"Enrollment in 1990 was 1.450
In fall 1994. enrollment was approxi
matcly 2,000 main campus students
and 592 law students The budget was
balanced for the first time since J 968."
said Schrum
He also said thai students are re-
ceiving fellowships at lop name art
involutes.' being admitted to major
MBA programs and being accepted to
renowned medical schools.
Schrum also discussed commu-
nity involvement by the University.
He stated three programs in which
Wesleyan is involved; student athletes
tutoring program, Wesleyan Colle-
giate Institute and the Cultural Diver-
sity Institute. In addition,.the stabil-
ity of the Chaplaincy was discussed.
Schrum said that the Chaplaincy
is funded through an endowment pro-
vided by a friend from Houston. She
donated an $800,000 endowment of
which $100,000 has been funded.
Schrum said that because of this en-
dowment the chaplaincy is a stable
fixture on campus.
Because Wesleyan is a Method-
ist based school, the chaplaincy can
help and should be a part of the
Wesleyan community, said Schrum
