Nicholas Daniloff will speak in
Cullen Auditorium Thursday night
in celebration of the 200th anniver-
sary of the United States Constitu-
tion. The program which will begin at
7:30 p.m. will be free to ACU stu-
dents and $2.50 for the public.
DanilofT a journalist for U.S.
News and World Report was confin-
ed to a Soviet KGB prison cell for
13 days on charges of espionage.
His topic will be "The Daniloff
Affair: A Constitutional Celebra-
tion 1787-1987."
Daniloff should be able to give
Curtis admissions counselor and
recruiting coordinator for off-campus
entertainment requests.
Gwyneth Curtis said the quality
of the talent of those who audition-
ed was so good that a second group
was formed.
Members of the second group are
Lisa Layne junior radioTV major
from River Vale N.J.; Tammy
Thomas senior marketing major
from Richardson; Becky Beasley
freshman elementary education ma-
jor from Omaha Neb.; and Beth
Collins junior human communica-
tion major from Fort Worth.
Also Mace Williamson senior
mathematics major from Pecos;
Matt Duncan sophomore com-
munication disorders major from
Round Rock; Brent Bolin senior
accounting major from El Paso; and
Jim Bales senior accounting major
from Cedar Rapids Iowa.
Alternates for Reflections will
come from the second group. Alter
chrysolite asbestos. Burleson said
the main danger of this kind of
asbestos is its easy release into
the air by actions such as the
changing of a light bulb. Air
conditioning then circulates the
asbestos.
Once the fibers ore inhaled
they cannot be removed from the
lungs and can lead to many types
of diseases.
In Texas no current law re-
quires building owners to
remove asbestos although such a
law is anticipated.
Burleson who lost his father to
an asbestos-related disease said
he was impressed at the church
leaders' sense .of moral responsi-
bility in removing the asbestos.
One main" concern was the
students a unique perspective on
the importance of the Constitution
said Cary Roberts chairman of the
Students' Association's Major
Speakers committee.
"The Constitution has to be so
much more important to someone
who has seen the other side of the
fence" he said.
Roberts sophomore government
major from Abilene said the topic
will include DanilofFs reflections
on his time in captivity as well as
his thoughts on the Constitution.
"It will probably be a very emo-
tional time for him" Roberts said.
Daniloff was released from the
prison cell of the KGB the Soviet

singers
nates for the second group are
Alison Money freshman accounting
major from Abilene; Rhonda Royal
senior English education major
from Wcatherford; and Darrell
Wesley senior English major from
Chattanooga Tenn.
"We really want this to be a top-
quality group that any student on
campus would want to be a part
of" Gwyneth Curtis said.
Reflections lias performed at civic
affairs junior-senior banquets
youth rallies and on campus.
Plans for Reflections this year in-
clude some weekend appearances
near Abilene a tour during Spring
Break and a two-week tour when
school is out in May.
Gwyneth Curtis said he did not
want the groups to cause undue
strain on the members' school and
work loads.
He said a limit will be set on the
number of classes members miss.
Reflections began in 1983 and
high 'concentration in the
kindergarten area. The church
has taken the position of safety
first especially when dealing
with the children.
Burleson said the three most
common ways to deal with
asbestos contamination are
removal encapsulation and
.enclosure.
Both encapsulation and
enclosure involve blocking off
the asbestos-contaminated mate-
rial. The plan for University is
removal. The asbestos will be
removed from the building in
specially designed double bags
and taken to an Environmental
Protection Agency-approved
regional landfill outside Abilene
cy Sept. 15 1986.
His speech Thursday will come
only two days after his first anniver-
sary of freedom.
Daniloff said he had a great deal
of time to reflect on the Constitu-
tion while in prison and is looking
forward to snaring his thoughts
about American freedom with the
students at ACU Roberts said.
"He wants to meet with stu-
dents" Roberts said. "He wants to
interact with them."
DanilofFs appearance marks the
kickofT of the SA's Major Speakers
program.
"We thought it was important to
kick the series off in a major way"
Roberts said.

He said the SA wanted to have
someone speak on the anniversary
of the Constitution and asked
Daniloff. He said the fact that
Daniloff was released nearly a year
ago was coincidental.
Daniloff will arrive at the Abilene
Municipal Airport Thursday at 1
p.m. and will be greeted by Roberts
and Kim Couch SA secretary and
junior biology major from Garland.
He will speak to the Abilene
media at a press conference at the

of the "On Campus" program.

dents' Association senators and

Martha Renfro administrative
assistant to the dean's office in the
College of Biblical Studies.
"Biblical Interpretation and Proc-
lamation" is this year's theme.
"We try to give a varied program
every year and this topic was a
perceived need of preachers" Ren-
fro said.
Presentations by the various
speakers will include the why and
how of exegesis or explaining a
Scripture in the context of the time
it was written biblical interpreta-
tion and examples of expository
preaching.

Thursday Chapel
begins this week
By SHERRI MASTERS
Optlmlct Staff
Thursday Chapel will begin this
week for all freshmen and interested
upperclassmen said Dr. Norman
Archibald associate dean of stu-
dents. Archibald said the administration
wanted to be able to use the small-
group Chapel to enforce a positive
attitude for freshmen and talk about
problems they may encounter in
their first year at school.
Suzanne Johnson freshman sec-
ondary education major from
Angleton said she thinks the
small-group Chapel is a good idea.
She said when students are in a
small group they will have to say
something and get to know people.
Required topics will be discussed
as well as those generated by the
students and their leader Archibald
said. Upperclassmen in the groups
will have the chance to speak to the
freshmen.
Archibald said he prefers not to
reveal group leaders until Thursday
students.
Roberts said 800-900 people are
expected to attend the evening pro-
gram. After the program Daniloff will
be honored with a reception.
Roberts said the reception will be
open to the public.
"That reception will be a great
opportunity for students to meet
him" Roberts said.
Daniloff will leave Abilene early
Friday morning Roberts said.
Students will be able to buy a
poster commemorating DanilofFs
visit for $1 while the posters last.
The poster was designed by Dr.
Gary D. McCaleb vice president
and dean of campus life.
Study to Christian Ethics" will be
his topic.
"We try to get somebody who
relates well to students to deliver
the Chapel address" Renfro said
"and Bible study and Christian
ethics are both topics college stu-
dents relate to."
Other speakers are Don Kleppe of
the Wilbarger Street Church of
Christ in Vernon who will speak
about "The Place of Grace in
Preaching"; and Jack Reese of the
Oak Hills Church of Christ in San
Antonio who will discuss
"Hebrews in Exposition."
Dr. Carroll Osburn will give a
presentation about "Titus in Inter-
pretation." Osburn a recent addi-
tion to the ACU faculty is the
Dean Walling Distinguished Pro-
fessor in the Chair of. New. Testa-.
ment Language and Literature at
ACU.
"Titus in Exposition" will be the
title of a presentation by Dr.
Michael Lewis director of the
human communication division at
ACU.
A dinner for Fellowship Day par-
ticipants will conclude the activi-
ties. Gene Glaeser of the Broadway
congregation in Lubbock will speak
because unexpected changes may
occur.
The minimum number of stu-
dents in a group will be 65 and the
maximum will be 100 Archibald
said while of that number at least
50 will be freshmen.
Group sign-ups for freshmen
began during Welcome Week and
continued through the first week of
school. Upperclassmen started
sign-ups last Thursday and Friday
said Archibald.
He said upperclassmen may go by
the Student Services Office on the
west side of McKinzie Hall and
sign up for a group.
Students who do not wish to at-
tend Thursday Chapel will go to
Moody Coliseum for Chapel.
Archibald said the reason small
group Chapel was changed from
Tuesday to Thursday was because
of a request by a group of students.
These students thought the atten-
dance at Tuesday night devotionals
was suffering because students were
not being reminded of the devo-
tional in chapel Tuesday morning.
