Missionaries and future mis-
sionaries are enrolled this semester
in a mission field training seminar.
The seminar broken into two
two-week sessions is designed to
prepare enrollees for mission service
''at home and abroad" said Ed
Matthews chairman of the Mis-
sions Department.
The program provides students
with intensive missionary training
said Matthews. Students study
culture language and strategies for
spreading the Gospel he said.
Classes are taken for interest as
well as to fulfill a requirement in
missions said Matthews. The sem-
'jiar features graduate and under-
graduate courses and meet at 8 a.m.
and 1:10 p.m. Each of the 12
courses offered during the seminar
is different. The six courses offered
during the first session are not
repeated in the second session.
The seminar started 28 years ago
when Harding University in Sear-
cy Ark. discovered a need for mis-
sionaries to be trained said Mat-
thews. ACU soon followed Har-
ding's precedent and has been
holding the seminar every summer
for 25 years he said.
Students involved in the seminar
enjoy fellowship through devo-
tionals chapel and recreation time
said Matthews.
The second seminar starts June
18.

Gordon cautions seminar audience
about relationships marriage
By Keith Alewlne
Opinion Editor
Dr. Sol Gordon a prominent sex
educator and author brought sever-
al messages to the people in atten-
dance at a seminar Saturday in the
Mabee Business Building.
Gordon was the keynote speaker
at the "Love Sex and Life Teen
Pregnancy Project" which was
sponsored by the Texas Department
of Human Services and the Abilene
Girls Home.
"I have a few messages" Gordon
said. "One of the most important
messages is not to marry for love or
sex.
"About 60 percent of all contem-
porary marriages break up in a few
years time so I'm trying to get the
message out that you could be mad-
ly in love with someone who is
totally inappropriate as a marital
partner. You could be sexually at

runoff" proved to be the catalyst for
her victory she said.
"We did a lot of telephone calling
and knocking on doors' she said.
"We were able to get more voters
out because of that."
Durrington a former elementary
school teacher and principal said
her major focus as a board member
will be on the students.
"My major goal I had during the
campaign and still have is to
tracted to someone you can't even
have a conversation with."
He said he believes people should
marry for intimacy caring and
friendship.
About 50 people attended the
professional luncheon at which
Gordon spoke about self-esteem.
The luncheon was designed for in-
dividuals such as teachers and
social workers who work with
young people.
"If you are desperate for a rela-
tionship you will always attract
somebody who will hurt or ex-
Eloit" Gordon said. "People who
ave high levels of self-esteem are
not available for exploitation."
He presented two ways of improv-
ing self-esteem. "The first way is to
learn something new and the other
is to do good deeds" he said.
"Those are the ways that work.
"People who feel depressed or
upset get to be very energized when

pro-
An immediate concern of Durr-
ington's is to "consider the over-
crowding this summer and make a
decision" she said.
During her campaign Durington
said the school district needs to look
at innovative ways to keep children
interested in school. She also ad-
vocated strengthening counseling
and vocational programs to aid '
dropouts.
they are being helpful to others."
Some of the information he pre-
sented during the seminar is con-
tained in one of his books Why
Lou it Not Enough which he said
would be particularly helpful to col-
lege students.
"Not too many people are giving
a lot of thought to why marriages
are not working these days and I
think the college students in par-
ticular ought to think through a lit-
tle bit more carefully the meaning
of love and the difference between
mature and immature love that's
what it's all about and that's why I
wrote this book" he said.
Dr. Ed Coates professor of
education was the conference
chairman and said several adults
told him they thought the con-
ference was "fantastic" and that it
should be conducted again.
Coates said he thought about 300
people attended the conference.

make the material more understan-
dable. "Othello" is a domestic drama
that depicts a man seeking revenge
and centers on the issue of how
jealousy can undermine a relation-
ship. Performers include Smith play-
ing the jealous general Othello;
Damon Brown senior drama major
from Abilene playing the vengeful
Iago; and Holly Sparlin senior the-
ater performance major from
Oklahoma City playing the inno-
cent wife of Othello Dcsdemona.
This production will be a unique
experience said Sparlin because it
will be the first time she has worked
in the amphitheater.
She said it will be exciting for
both the audience and the perfor-
mers to be in an arena setting in-
stead of an indoor setting.
The outdoor experience is not the
only challenge she said. Performing
Shakespeare well is challenge
enough for most performers.
