The third tank will include frogs sala-

By Barnadotte Lee
Student Reporter
The 74th annual Bible Lectureship
may have shown an increase in
attendance compared to last year's
Lectureship
Dr. Carl Brecheen chairman of the Lec-
tureship Committee said he believed
attendance increased at this year's Lec-
tureship but no formal records are kept of
Lectureship attendance.
However Vicki Britten of University
Development Services said the total num-
ber of people who registered at the Exhibit
Center Tent was lower than last year's fig-
ure of 2232. Only 2050 people registered
this year

Dedication marks new
face of science facility
By H. Todd Thomas
Managing News Editor
The
va
of
tie Foster Science Building's reno
vated mid-section was dedicated
officially Feb. 24 amid Lecture
ship activities after nearly a year of
remodeling.
The $3.5 million renovation was con-
ducted on the 46-year-old center of the
building. Its cast and west hallways and
Walling Lecture Hall were completed in
1968 said Dr. Finis Cavcndcr academic
Financial officer of the College of Natural
and Applied Sciences.
Honored at the dedication were Dr.
L.D. "Bill" Hilton vice president for
Finance Tittle Luther Partnership H & G
Construction Co. and the late Dr. C.L.
Kay for his diligence and work in getting
the grant from the Mabce Foundation.
But even as this renovation is put to
rest another renovation project for the
1968 addition may be developing. No
firm plans have been made -said Caven-
der though more work could begin as
early as two years from now.
Some classrooms in the newly renovat-
ed portion are tiered much like those in
the Biblical Studies Building or the
Mabce Business Building.

Lectureship.
She said there is no accurate way to
determine the exact number of people who
attend Lectureship.
"1 think the number of people who regis-
tered was small because the weather was

awful" Britten said. "People just stayed in
the Biblical Studies Building for classes
and didn't go to the tent for registration."
Dr. Carl Brecheen professor of Bible
said about 8000 people did not register
These people belonged to three different
groups who usually do not register he
make sure all those students apply in time
to graduate in May.
"I try to catch those people who have
failed to apply" said Schow
Schow said she expects the number of
students graduating May 9 to be about
400 which Is about the same as in years
before.
She said she is aware of only one or two
students who have not completed the
application process
For a student to graduate he must com-
ilete an application available in the Rcg-
strar's office and give it to his adviser

that a girl can take a guy to as their entire
date or part of their date" Soules said.
Because many students-are especially
busy with schoolwork now attendance at
this spring's Sadie Hawkins Week events
might be low said Soules.
She encouraged girls to ask guys out
adding that many relationships have start-
ed tliis way. And for those guys Who need
an excuse to ask an ACU woman for a
date Cassinova Week will arrive the last
week in March.
Each classroom is equipped with tele-
vision monitors and videotape machine
capabilities.
New hoods for the once sulfurous-
smelling chemistry lab in the basement
have been installed.
"We no longer smell the chemistry
lab" said a joking John Keyscr senior
applied math major from Aqueboguc
N.Y. who spoke at the dedication cere-
mony. Keyser also said in his presenta-
tion that students including himself
have been impressed by the new look of.
the Foster Science Building.
On the fourth floor where a reception
was given after the dedication is a con-
ference room-lounge and a living labora-
tory. The J.E. and L.E. Mabce Foundation
' gave a $2.5 million challenge grant
Cavcndcr said. Other funds have come-
from private donors.
The renovation is completely paid for
Cavcndcr said.
"It's nice to be. on thecash basis"
rather than on credit he said. Though
some equipment has not arrived yet the
college expects it to be delivered some-
time in the next month Cavcndcr said.

added.
Brecheen said about 2000 students
made up one of the three groups which do
not register. He said another group consist-
ed of the residents of Abilene and the last
group were people from out-of-town who
stayed with friends.
"These people do not register because
their families know where they are should
there be an emergency" Brecheen said. .
He said he was happy with the size -of
the crowd and thought it was just right for
the facilities of the campus.
"We have some classes overflowing
with people" he said. "If we had more
people the facilities would not be
enough."
Brecheen said next year's Lectureship
should attract an equal or greater number
of participants because of its theme - The
Life of Jesus.
Schow said.
The adviser will send the student's
degree plan with his application back to
the Registrar's office she said. The Reg-
istrar's office will then send evaluations to
the student and his adviser to make them
aware of the student's current status she
said.
In previous years the application dead-
line has been .the third week of classes
said Schow but this year is different.
Any student who plans to graduate in
the summer or in December should apply
immediately Schow said.
