Students Needed
For Mission Trip
South of Border
By PHIL HAMILTON
Students are still needed to help on the
Proyeto De Amistad (Project of Friend-
ship) mission trip to El Sausal Mexico.
The trip is scheduled to begin Jan. 5
and is to end Jan. 12 and it is sponsored
by the Baptist Student Union and the Re-
ligious Activities Office.
"We need students who are willing to
work" said Palmer McCown Director
of Religious Activities at Hardin-Sim-mons.
He also indicated that there is a
need for students with construction expe-
rience or Spanish capabilities.
The mission group is to concentrate on
five work projects ir. the F.l Sausal area.
Those persons with construction expe-
rience will begin work on a parsonage.
In addition to this repairs are to be
made to an existing church building.
Vacation Bible School is to be con-
ducted in the El Sausal area. Over 900
school-age children live in thie area. A
revival conducted by the mission group
is another work project planned for the
week.
Another scheduled work project is reli-
gious surveys between El Sausal and an-
other town Zarogosa. Information
collected in the surveys will be used to
start new mission work in the area.
The cost for each HSU student is $30.
This amount is to be used to pay for
transportation meals insurance lodging
materials. Persons interested in partici-
pating in the activities of the week need
to contact the Religious Activities Office
immediately. The official deadline to
sign up has passed but additional people
are needed to help with the mission
work.
The Hardin-Simmons Chamber Singers
will be traveling to Nashville during
Christmas break to perform in the coun-
try music tabernacle the Grand Ole
Opry House as the premier performance
at the Student Conference on World Mis-
sions Dec. 27-31.
Over 4000 students are expected to at-
tend the conference with HSU's Cham-
ber Singers scheduled to present the first
performance with their musical "Har-
vest." Written by Bill O'Brien secretary of
denominational coordination for the
Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board.
and gospel musician Dick Anthony the
musical will serve as a challenge to
people to be aware of the world Palmer
McCown religious activities director
said.
"The musical is a challenge to stu-
dents to consider missions as a live op-
tion" McCown added. "There is a world
of need and we need to be a part of that.
The musical picks up on the whole idea
of "the field is ripe for the harvest."
Directed by Dr. Loyd Hawthorne the
rhpmW Singers will present the musi-
cal at the Grand Ole Opry House. "HSU
is the only school that's getting a shot to

do something like this" McCown said.
"It's a perfect situation. The stage and
sound equipment are said to be the best
there is."
Pre-regis t rat ion
Attracts 1092
Spring Planners
By PHIL HAMILTON
Staff Writer
A record number of students pre-regis-tered
for the spring semester during pre-
regisration held Nov. 26-Dec. 7.
A total of 1092 students were involved
in the enrollment process. This was an
increase of almost 200 students over the
pre-registration for the spring semester
of 1979.
According to Charlene Archer regis-
trar this year's registration went very
smoothly. "We encountered no major
problems" said Mrs. Archer. She also
indicated that she was thankful to all of
the students who were involved in the
early enrollment process.
This was the first time the new 10-step
process for registration was used. Stu-
dents followed through several lines to
eliminate the hassle of finding professors
across the HSU campus.
Final registration will be a simple ac-
tivity for those students who took part in
the process. A statement will be waiting
for the student on Jan. 14 when regular
registration begins. The student will
need only to finalize financial aid and
clear through the final fee assessment
process.
Many classes were closed during pre-
registration. Those classes include:

A Confusing Decade- The 1970's
By GREG JAKLEWICZ
Brand Editor
Finally. Finally it is the end of the se-
mester. In just a couple of more days fi-
nals will be over and its home for the
holidays.
Of course there is always next semes-
ter.. .Spring semester 1980. 1980? What
happened to the 70's? The calendars
have been telling us for months that 1980
is coming after December but few of us
paid any attention.
Ready or not the 80's are here. The
70's were not the turbulent 60's but they
certainly gave us an indication of what
the future holds for us. Do you remem-
ber what went on in the 70s? Looking
back it is hard sometimes to imagine
what comprised the "landmarks" of the
70's.
It was a decade marked by violence
but then what decade in the 20th century
has not? Remember the deaths of four
students at Kent State University in
1970? The Vietnam War created in the
60's crept into another decade and con-
tinued to a bitter end in 1975. Palestinian
terrorists soiled the purity of the Olym-
pics in 1972 by attacking and killing nine
Isralites. In 1978 the world was shocked
to learn of the mass "voluntary" killing
of 914 followers of the Peoples Temple
cult under the Reverend Jim Jones in
Guyana.
Finally the holding of 49 hostages in
Iran by students supported by that coun-
try's leader the Ayatollah Khomeini. We
can not forget the overthrow of the gov-
ernment in Nicaragua the assassination
of the Korean president the continuing
civil war in Ireland and edgy situation in
the Middle East.
