Julius Leaves for Africa After U-Year Stay at GF
College Will Host Future Freshmen
Julius Wafula after 1% years of study at George Fox bade farewell to America and the college January 11 as he returned by plane to his home In Kenya, East Africa. Three car loads of students, Dean Kenneth Williams, President and Mrs. Ross saw him off at Portland International airport. The trip was prompted by a decision of the college administration and Julius himself. He leavers, says President Ross, with heartiest best wishes and the college's prayers for a successful ministry among his people. Julius is a former headmaster in Kenya. He is married and the father of four children, all who stayed in East Africa when Julius came to George Pox. On returning, he hopes to enter Christian service, working with the extensive Friends mission in Kenya. To finance the trip, Circle K club has secured a $550 loan from Henry Kerr, Brookings, Oregon. The club, acting as an agent for the student body, reports the loan is interest free for 30 days with 6 per cent interest on the unpaid balance. The loan is to be paid by the end of the school year. Over $200 has been donated toward the debt already. Funds are coming from the student body, the local church and perhaps a Newberg service club. However Circle K treasurer Jamie Sandoz urges students "To remember this loan and that it needs to be paid as soon as possible." The committee dealing with the project: Brian Beals, Jon Newkirk and Ken Hearon. In a recent chapel, Circle K president Gary Brown presented Julius yith a club blazer. Julius was a member of the group.
Funds for Lab Now Available Sufficient funds are now avilable to build and install a language laboratory. Dr. Cecilia Martin, chairman of the division of language arts, and Dr. George H. Moore, dean of faculty, have sparked efforts to outline the policies, accept specifications and bids, visit other colleges and universities in the West. Equipment will be ordered from supplying factories, but the booth manufacturing will be done by local men. The initial installation calls for ten units. Dr. Homer Hester will help install the equipment which includes about $3,000 worth being carried from the former production of the "Quaker Hour". Mr. Phil Martin, a member of the board from Whittier, California, is donating all the new electronic units.
High school juniors and seniors interested in attending GFC will spend the day on campus Saturday for the college's first "Future Freshman Day." They will be touring buildings, attending "classes" and visiting with students, professors and a counseling staff for information and advice. The day's events, beginning at 9 a. m., are planned primarily to acquaint the prospective students with the academic program—curriculum, class contents and requirements. Faculty advisors, admissions officers and administrative staff will counsel on anything from "money to grades" says Dean Kenneth Williams. Also on the schedule: a morning chapel service, a campus tour, a meeting with Student Council members and in the evening the Greek tragedy Antigone will be presented by the drama department In WoodMar hall. GFC students will be expected to act only as 'hosts" for the visitors, the Dean says. A few will be involved in musical presentations in the morning chapel, however. limited housing will be available in the dormitories with others expected to commute for the day or stay nearby.
MARK O. HATFIELD, Oregon governor and member of the George Fox board of trustees, lunches with faculty and students. The governor toured campus and buildings with Dr. Ross. On his right are ASGFC secretary Anne Thornburg and President Boss. Hatfield plans another visit in March for an Athenian's forum in chapel. The subject: "The Christian's Part in Government."
Mark Hatfield Visits GFC Campus; Ladies Auxiliary Sponsors Luncheon By Joyce LeBaron Describing himself as a liberal Republican and a conservative theologian, Governor Mark Hatfield went on to charm members of the faculty, staff and student council with his thoughtful remarks at a luncheon sponsored by the Ladies' Auxiliary of George Fox college on January 9. This, his first visit in two years, "was a time of refreshment" before facing the state legislature.
