Skiles optimistic about loans
By CLINT SHARPLEY
Brand Staff Writer
After the effort to gain ap-
proval for federal loans was de-
feated by the Baptist General
Convention of Texas Dr. Elwin
Sidles H-SU president comment-
ed on the proposed question
"Where do we go from here?"
"We go straight ahead" he said.
He added that it was not as
though the university was having
a present form of revenue taken
from it "I regret this (the Con
vention's decision) very much
'but the situation has not been
changed."
Dr. Skiles does not feel the
hopes for a new library have been
jeopardized although one possible
avenue has been closed. Immedi-
ate funds would not have been
available anyway in this govern-
ment program but it might have
been a valuable aid in the future.
The private route does look
stated that "we -are in a good posi
tion with several foundations." He
felt that in- this time of national
campus unrest powerful interests
were looking for colleges such as
H-SU in which to invest.
The issue of federal aid which
will probably continue to be an
issue for a long time "ought to
be a matter of trustee decision"
said Skiles. He pointed out that

versity Boards will convene Nov.
21 for annual fall meetings with
one of the chief items of discus-
sion the school's 10-year program

Alumni leadership will convene

Seven new trustees who were

eight others who were re-elected
and those with terms remaining.
The Board of Trustees Board of
Development and Board of Young
Associates will hold a joint ses-
sion to hear Dr. Elwin L. Skiles
president outline the "Profile for

cluding students faculty staff
administration alumni and other
special friends of the school have
had a part in planning for the
university for the next 10 years.

promising to the President whoisohool in Georgia" had defied
their convention and are present-
ly entering a program involving
the enlistment of federal aid.
There is a possibility that Mer-
cer may not be a picture of iso-
lated rebellion but part of a grow-
ing trend. The state Baptist con-
vention of Virginia a state which
has been foremost in American
history in demanding a free
church in a free state has de-
cided to leave the federal aid is-
sue up to the trustees of the in-
dividual schools
According to Skiles bringing
about a change in the attitude of
the BGCT is "a matter of getting
(the needs of our schools) across
at the local level." He hoped
that on the basis of the present
stand of the convention Baptist
churches would assume a greater
part of the burden.
Reflecting on the fact that Dr.
W. A. CrisweH president of the
Southern Baptist Convention had
made a similar statement con-
cerning the committment of the
individual Baptists to their in-
Southwest region National As-
sociation of Teachers of Singing
audition.
Seelig freshman music major
of Fort Worth was third place
winner.
Miss Knight freshiman of Hollo-
man1 N. M. was fifth place win-
ner in her division.
Both students received a certifi-
cate of merit plus cash awards.

stitutions Skiles said he thought
Criswell should follow up the
statement with some "strong
positive actions."'
There are several areas which
can be developed by the church
member including wills life in-
come and estate planning. These
topics should be stressed by the
local pastors in conjunction with
appropriate .university officials.
Dr. Skiles feels that Baptists
are capable of supporting their
institutions without federal funds.
The question now is will they?
