Roberts Challenges
Cornerstone Crowds
Challenging students to "get
involved" and "think their faith
through" Dr. C. A. Roberts ad-
dressed crowds which grew in
numbers during the annual four-
day Cornerstone Series of lec-
tures. 1
Beginning Monday morning the
youthful minister who heads the
Pastors' Conference of the South
ern Baptist Convention and has
been named Young Man of the
Year in Florida while serving as
pastor of the University Baptist
Church in Tallahassee urged
youth to begin now to "search for
God."
The trouble with most people
he declared is that they have not
taken the time to examine their
Christian faith. The current col-
lege generation has grown up in
a "very corrupt country" he said.
"But this is not the first time
civilization has had its back to the
wall."
Using examples from modern
magazines such as Esquire and
Playboy and popular themes
such as Barbara Streisand's re
Scholarships Must Be Processed
Students holding scholarships
or loans through the university
who have not processed the re-
quired documents this semester
should be so immediately C.
Kenneth Hill director of student
financial aid cautioned this
week.
Approximately 50 students will
find a deduction in their scholar-
ships if forms are not processed
by the evening of Monday March
13 he warned. Instructions were
issued during registration that
students must fill out and sign
the documents or suffer a reduc-
tion and possible cancellation
Hill reminded.
New Office
He urged any student who
needs help in processing the
papers to visit tne siuaenx aia
office on the first floor of Mary
Frances Hall. His office is work-
ing out the time-consuhiing faq-
tor involved in handling of aid'
services and Hill expressed grati
cording of "I Stayed too Long
at the Fair" Dr. Roberts pounded
home the theme of "A Life Worth
Living."
He also disclosed to the Mon-
day night crowd how he came to
enter the ministry. The decision
was made after he was shot unin-
tentionally by a coach in Fort
Worth. While hovering between
life and death in the hospital he
became a Christian and decided
to devote his life to God.
The greatest advantage for suc
cess in life or in a profession is
"an early start" he said. "God
is a rewarder of those who dili-
gently seek him."
Dr. Roberts pictured as tragic
today's college youths who are
loaded with "blue ribbon" talent
yet fail to take advantage of it.
"Your opportunities do not
keep coming . . . The day is com-
ing when finally the course is
set" he warned.
The Cornerstone Series was en-
dowed by Dr. and Mrs. Lee
Hemphill in honor of C. W.
Hemphill and the late Mrs. Hemp-
hill of Coleman.
