Senate-sponsored summer stor-age will be available this year forreturning students.

The Summer Storage Commit-tee is working on getting boxesfor students. Name and addressmust be written clearly on the out-side. Boxes should be taken to thesidewalk in front of Security be-tween 5 and 8 p.m. on designated

schools for a total full-time en-rollment of 4,000 students.

"These four areas are like thespokes of a wheel which branchout from a strong central hub ofliberal arts. The University willcontinue to strengtlen and adddepth to the liberal arts programduring the coming decade. A ma-jor and unique factor in the ex-panded graduate progr¿ìms will bea concern with cross-fertilizationamong all four graduate schoolsas well as the undergraduateschool. Medical and dental stu-dents will be required to takecourses and to participate in spe-cial seminars in theology, law,and business. Law students willtake courses in business, theol-ogy, and medicine. And so on,"said President Roberts.

A multi-million dollar chal-lenge gift has already been madetoward the opening of the medi-cal school in 1978. A three-year,$60,000,000 national fund cam-paign will open this fall.

Orqcle qdviser retires from post

He has stood beside us these past 4 J¡ears as afriend, a fatler, and our adviser. But tåat doesntadequately desc¡ibe Mr. Lyno Nichols.

In this fast-paced age, he remains one of thefew gracious people we know. Others may be toobusy to listen; not so with Mr. Nichols.

Other husbands who have been married 45 yearsmight neglect their wives. Mr. Nichols treats hisFrancis like a bride.

Others may have forgotten the simple joys of ahomecooked meal, an evening of stimulating con-versation, or a night out at the symphony. Mr.Nichols still knows how to live.

It's been enriching to rub elbows with a profes-sional journalist. Because of his knowledge, lovingcriticism, and investment of time, the Oracle hasmade mammoth strides toward excellence. Qualityeditors and dedicated staffers have brought theOracle from its crude beginnings as¡ a gossip sheet

Mr. Nicho s!to what we think is a reputable college newspaper.But not one of these persons can claim as muchcredit for this accomplisbment as Mr. Nichols can.He's been the oil on the rough waters of our youth-ful exuberance, pointing OuÉ o¡r gxcesses, andteaching us the meaning of responsibility.

He has shared our frustration when articles havegotten the ax because we lost ou¡ balance on theORU publications tightrope. He's been there to pickus up and send us on our way again.

Mr. Nichols has been working in the Public Ai-fairs office 'þart-time" 8 or more hours a day sincehe came 8 years ago. Finally, he is trying to actual-ly go part-time; thus he must relinquish the Oracleadviser job. Most advisers would gladly give up theirjobs. Mr. Nichols does so with a bit of sadness.

We view his going with sadness, too. All we cansa¡ Mr. Nichols, is thank you for making ourpaper, and our lives, better.

WASHINGTON:

The jury was composed of eight women and twomen. The delibe¡ation lasted less than 6liou¡s.

The¡e had been no witnesses to Jacobsen's storythat a transfer of money was made between he andConnally. Most of the government's case wasbased on circumstantial evidence, telephone logs,records, and appointment books. It was also

induced prose-a perjury charger his testimony

against Connally.Before the scandal, Connally had been men-

three-term governor in Texas.

SAIGON:

President Nguyen Van Thieu resigned a weekago last Monday to enable a political settlementfor Nofh Vietnam to be made. Ilowever, manyobservers felt the move came too late to stop theCommunists from taking the country. Thieu andothers all agreed that mo¡e bloodshed was on itsrù/ay as insurgents headed in mass toward Saigon.

Thieu's tearful resignation in a nationally tele-vised address is felt to have removed a major blockto a negotiated settlement. Ilowever, it is notthought that with a military victory in sight, theCommunists will be interested in a peaceful settle-ment.

Thieu closed his ¡emarks with bitter wordstoward the United States. He felt that the U.S. had"led the South Vietnamese people to death." Healso criticized Henry Kissinger's acceptance ofViet Cong troops on South Vietnam's soil at thepeace talks 3 years ago.

Hanoi responded almost immediately to Thieu sznnouncement, and in addition, predicted defeatfor Ford and Kissinger's supposed neocolonistpolicy. The U.S. merely responded by saying ithad been notified in advance of Thieu's with-drawal.

WASHINGTON:

The Immigration and Naturalization Servicecleared the path a week ago yesterday for en-trance of up to 129,000 Indochina refugees to theU.S. At the same time, it was lea¡ned that Ameri-can citizens and thei¡ families were evacuatingSaigon in large numbers.

A spokesman stated that the American embassywould decide which South Vietnamese were eligi-ble for entrance to the U.S. State Department offi-cials. However, he gave not exact details as towhere the Indochinese would settle.

WA5HINGTON:The government has reported that the cost of

living has been held to its smallest increase in 2years.

A sharp drop in grocery prices was held as thedeterminant fo¡ the slowing of the cost of living.

The slowdown of the rate of inflation was ex-pected because wholesale prices had dropped for 4months and a lower price was expected at the re-tail level. The slowdown, however, did point to theeffects of the recession, which reduced consumerdemand and discouraged price hikes.

Beef, poultry, fish, and fresh eggs led the list ina decline and easily offset increases in other items.Ford was described as pleased with the slowdownof inflation but does nõt expect tle lower rate tocontinue.

WASHINGTON:The House and the Senate have approved Pres-

ident Ford's request for the use of military forcesto evacuate America¡s and South Vietnamese.The move came despite objections that it mightmean more combat fatalities.

The Senate bill, which passed 75-17, agpro-priates $250 million for Indochina humanitarianassistance and evacuation procedures. The Housebill appropriates $327 million. A compromisebetween the two figures is e¡pected to be reachedsoon.

Debating ran tlrough Vy'ednesday night andinto Thursday morning. The House had earlierrejected an amendment that would have deniedFord's request f,or authorit-y for troops to besent for evacuation, and an attempt to place a30-day time limit on use of troops likewise failed.

NEW YOR,K:

The German Language has now been acceptedas the seventh world language by the United Na-tions. It follows English, French, Spanish, Rus-sian, Chinese and Arabic.

Pcae 4--THE ORACIE, April 30, 1975

by ron horgcn"Seven Alone" is a movie with

gr€at scenery, good acting, anda terrible, corny, archaic plot. If¿his flick is based on a true story,as is alleged, then one wouldhave to conclude that t¡uth is.indeed, much stranger than fic-tior¡. not to mention more un-believable and melodramatic.

Based on the typical Americandream oi the early 1800's, thestory involves the journey of afamily of nine westward to starta new life in the Oregon terri-tory. Nine become seven as thetather and mother soon die, leav-ing . only the children, one ofwhom is an infant, to fend tbrthemselves. The oldest, John Sa-ger, played by Stewart Peterson,becomes the head of the family,and the youngsters take up thejourney to realize the dream oftheir parents.

For all of you top forty en-thusiasts who liked Chicago'si'Harry Truman," their latest al-bum, "Chicago VIII," is just whatyou'll want- Chicago had one ofits bestlooking album covers withthis cut, but the contents weredisappointing, to say the least.The effect of "Chicago VIII" canbe summed up in one word: com-mercial.

A sequel to "Chicago VII,"which had some easy classical!istening numbers, aiong withcomplex progressive pieces andgood vocal pieces, it would beexpected that Chicago's next al-bum would continue in that di-rection. Instead, Chicago doesjust the opposite. The majority ofthe cuts from the new album areof a pop-rock style, with lessbrass than usual.

The first song, "Anyway YouWant," is an example of digres-sion to a commercial top-forfytechnique. It has a hard beat witha pounding rh¡hm, and thewords are barely intelligible. Thelyrics are mostly a vague refer-ence to "anyway you want, it'sall right with me." "Hideway" iseven more reverberating with an

'Seven' better left qloneback to the East, but with thehelp of I(it Carson, the childrenmanage to sneak off alone inorder to make it to the West.

What's wrong with "SevenAlone?" Where does one start?First, the plot is a real stereotypeof the old expansionist dream andthe characters are about thesame. Kit Carson rides out of no-where to save the day, and isn'the a sight to behold? A be[-bottomed, buckskin outfit com-plete with matching hat, and adiamond-studded knife case arehis apparel, and naturally thisgreat American folk hero is al-ways out on a mission to savethe U. S. government from theIndians; truly he's the Henry Kis-singer of his day.

Another of the movie's prob-lems is the lack of full develop-ment of the plot. The baby ap-pears out of nowhere ! The moth-er is never pregnant; there is notalk of the coming child-she

almost acid-rock lead part, quiteunlike the Chicago style. It re-minds one of Mountain's "Mis-sissippi Queen," and you canpractically sing the same lyricsto it.

Chicago seems to repent withJames Pankou's "Brand NewLove Affair, Parts f and fI,"which reflects its typical stylewith good brass background andmellow string accompaniment.Here you appreciate the lyricsmuch more, and although Part IIsteps up in tempo, Chicago is atits best. "Never Been fn LoveBefore," too, is easy listeningwith a subdued rhythm and withthe same smooth brass so closelyrelated to the traditional Chica-go.

Probably the most controver-sial song on the album is "HarryTruman." It is criticized and com-plimented from all sides. Present-ly it is on the top forty list witha rating of 26, which shows itscaliber even in the pop world. Ifyou enjoy bubble gum, you canchew on this song for awhile.

The rest of the album seemsto be a weak attempt to crosspop and hard rock. "Ain't ItBlue" is not a blues song at all,but again top forty material. "Oh,Thank You, Great Spirit" startsout with a mystical mood andends with a frenzied barrage ofexhaustive pounding. There is aspark of hope, however, in thelast song, "Old Days," where theold Chicago appears in full im-pact.

This album was full of someunpleasant surprises in many re-spects, but keep the faith, Chica-go lovers, better days are ahead.In the future we can look for-ward to more great cuts such asthose Chicago has produced inthe past.

þst appears. The father iswo{rnded jn a knife fight with anIndian, ,ánd a frjw minutes later,he is pronounced dead. The samefate befalls the 'mother. Onemoment she is healthy, and nomore than 60 seconds later, sheis dead of pneumonia.

Talent is evident in the percep-tive acting of Aldo Ray as thefather, Ann Collins as the moth-er, ald Stewart Peterson is, whilea little overdone in his stubborn-ness, still a believable characterin the role of John. Even if ev-er¡åing else fails, the scenery,most of which is filrned in Wyon-ing, is breathtaking.

"Seven Alone" is a simple mov-ie. It is not a disaster flick. Nei-ther is it an insult to a personwho claims to Christian -moralstandards.

Quite honestly, "Seven Alone"is for those who just want to goto a movie to enjoy themselvèsand not become at

SWEETHEART FORMAL

BIG SUCCESSïtre first annual Sweetheart Formal,

held on SaturdaY evening, February12, in the ORU dining f1¡ì1, ¡vas a tre-mendous success. Ttris formal set theprecedent for the annual coronation of

the ORU Sweetheart Queen.Starting weeks before the big event,

many students, under the di¡ection ofthe Student Senate, diligently workedon the evenfurg's entertainment and

elaborate decorations, which adornedthe dining hall. Their efforts produced

a transformation of the ORU diniflghalt into a lovely and romantic settingfo¡ an encha¡rting evening.

Carrying the St. Valentine's DaY

theme, the colors were red and white.The stage was set with the outline ofa beautiful hea¡t that reached to theceiling; it was made of white and redmaterials, and resembled a fluffY,heart shaped cloud. I'he candlelit roomwas like a big valentine within itself,with the corresponding Valentine'sDay decorations of hea¡ts and flowers.

1965-752 Dedicqted students lqunchPoge 8-THE ORACIE, April 30, 1975

by colhy sonco

Oral Roberts University first opened itsdoors in 1965. That year, 312 adventurousstudents came to the newly formed, unac-credited college south of Tulsa. They be-came the very foundation of a dream theskeptics never thought would come true.

Thos first students represented a real"pioneer spirit," says Dr. Paul lvlcClendon,who served as the first acting director ofadmissions and director of the l-earningResources Center.

"For kids to come to a school with nopredictable pattern-new campus, new stu-dents-and be willing to become part ofthat, was a real step of faith."

Dr. Harold Paul agrees. "Those studentsdeserve a great deal of credit," he says, "be-cause they took the future in their hands.ORU was new-if they hadn't come, wewouldn't have had a school. Thev werepioneer students, and they have á greatdeal to be commended for."

What kind of people were ORU's firststudents?

Religious spirit evidentAccording to Dr. Mauldin Ray of the

Education Department, a strong religiousspirit stemming primarily from a Pente-costal background was evident.

"Students then were questing an intel-lectual experience because ma-ny of the stu-dents did not come from strong academicbackgrounds," he says. "students in 1965

move

"It is time for the Oracle tomove ahead," says Randy Day,newly appointed Oracle editorÍor 1975-76. "We've done somegood things this year and I'manxious to move on." Day wasnominated by Publications Com-mittee for the position and rati-fied by the new Senate in a meet-ing Monday at l1 a.m.

Day sees some changes in therole of the paper. He said, "Weneed more of the 'small' news--actually it will result in 'total'news coverage. At least it is mygoal to handle more than whatseems 'big' at the time."

Different types of news seemto be in the offing, Day said."Our role needs to expand tomeet the issues of the day. Ifeel we have not been carryingout our responsibility to the stu-dents by telling them what it is

tolerant."Gene Eland of the Music Department

says students today are 'Just as dynamicand enthusiastic for the Lord as in 1965."

However, he notes that in the fine artsdefinitelymore ex-uqds, hedpanded

According to Chuck Ramsay, 25 percentof the students accepted in 1965 were inthe upper l0 percent of their high schoolgraduating class, compared to 42 percenttoday.

ORU memories recqlledEntrance requirements were the same in

1965 as today. The first students represent-ed about 45 states, 24 foreign cointries,and 30 religious denominations.

One of those students, Chris Thompson,recalls ORU's first year. Chris came toORU after attendinHe applied for adand enrolled in thestudent (16 yearshours of deficiencies to overcome).

He admits he was not academically pre-pared, and it took him about 2 years tolearn how to study. But he says ORU was"fun" in 1965.

"We were very close," he says, "whichis understandable for the size of the school.That- year, I knew every student, facultymember, secretary, and maintenance pei-sonnel."

He notes that President Roberts alsoknew each of the students. He frequentlyplayed ball with them, and invited them

over to his house often for swimmingparties and for prayer meetings.

"There is a lot of nostalgia for me,"Chris says. "We had a lot of good times,and made some longJasting friendships."

Chris remembers when students couldgo almost anywhere they pleased because

'the buildings were rarely locked. He alsosays the rules were more relaxed then, al-

ìthough he still remembers the 10 p.m.curfew for guys.

"We used to sneak out of the dorm andpush our cars all the way down to Lewisand start them up there," he says.

"We also ate better then." ORU em-ployed the Borden's Catering Service in1965, and students ate their meals in thecafeteria which was located in the southend of Timko-Barton Hall. Chris say it wasnot uncommon to find students engaged inpea-shooting fights.

"We usually found ourselves lingering in

When asked if he is planningon covering any particular areaof the University differently, Daysaid, "Yes, I hope to work withBobby Hamilton, Don Austin,and other vespers council mem-bers on more thoroughly cover-ing the spiritual life of the cam-pus. Bobby and I have talkedabout providing a recap of theprevious week's vespers servicein the Oracle."

As a final comment Day said,"I look to open up the Oraclesome next year with more input,especially f¡om students and alsofaculty and administration. Ihope people stop me on campusand give me news tips and tellme what they want to see in theO¡acle. I want the Oracle to speaklor the students."

He also adds that the dating relation-ships were the same in 1965 as they aretoday, and confesses he dated only oncehis freshman year.

"We blamed it on Dr. Paul's Humanitiesclass," he laughs. "It was pretty difficult."

Chris is credited with one of ORU's first

fads. He went down to the Army Surplusstore and purchased an arrny helmet Iinìngwhich he painted blue. He wore it to thebasketball games that year, and the ideaquickly caught on.

'''fhose were the good old days in theHRC," Chris says. "It was so hot in therefor basketball games we could hardlybreathe. But the atmosphere in that placewas electrifying."

Chapels were also different in 1965 fronl

'what they are today."They were more open then," he recalls.

"Altar calls were given frequently, and thefaculty members were more involved inchapels than they are today."

"We knew this concept was beinglaunched here," he says, "and it was dis-cussed in chapel the entire year."

Chris Thompson graduated from ORUin 1969, but still keeps tabs on the schoolas a member of the adjunct staff of facultyin the Theology Department.

"ORU has been a good experience forme," he reflects. "It has changed my wholelife and has made me realize the impor-tance of academics as well as spiritual life."

The close relationship between studentsand faculty in 1965 began to dwindle a bitas the school grew larger. However, Dr.Ray says there is still as much concern,but not enough opportunities to get to-gether.

Yet, with the change in student body sizehas come a change in the type of students.

1975 studenis perceptive"The type of student changes through

the years due to the change in times," saysDr. McClendon. "During the early years,students had a real desire to excel aca-demically and use their lives as instrumentsof God's pur?ose. In the middle years,goals may not have been as well-defined,probably due to ORU's growing, and striv-ing to develop a balance.

"Now the kids, which may be the bestyet, are perceptive about the world, andtheir role in it as Christians."

Recruiting tactics in 1965 were marked-ly different from those employed today.According to Ramsay, church banquets

Aprif 3O, t975, tHE ORAC[E-Pose 9

were held around the country then, andprospective students were invited to applyfor admission. ORU also had extensive ad-vertising in national magazines such asLife, Look, Seventeen, and Sports Illu-strated.

Today, the TV ministry of the school isan overwhelming factor in drawing stu-dents to ORU.

Students sell themselves

"Our TV ministry and the growth of themusic and athletic programs are out of thisworld," says Dr. Paul. "V/e are accreditednow, and we have a graduate school thatis also accredited. ORU is now a saleableinstitution."

"Students really sell themselves by theirimage projected through the mass media,"says Dr. Ray. "The degree to what kind ofan institution rù¡e are is determined not onlyby the faculty, but also by the students."

Today ORU has not 312, but 3,000 stu-dents who are dedicated academically,physically, and spiritually, proving that the'lhole man" concept is workable.

McClendon says ORU has proven it canbe a "viable institution."

"We don't have to compromise spiritual-ly in any way. We have shown we can havephysical emphasis, spiritual integrit¡ andstill be academically viable."

He attributes this success to the spiritualintegrity of Oral Roberts.

"If he hadn't been what he was," Mc-Clendon says, "we would be a scant copyof other colleges. When others wavered, hehasn t. We've proven we don't have tocompromise-just continue."

As Chris Thompson put it, "ORU is hereto stay."

Next year, Associated WomenStudents will be no more. As theonly living AWS president onc-ampus, I feel it is my inherentduty to- exarnine tne path of pro-gress ORU whole liomen Êavetaken in thei¡ fi¡st decade.

f.I9t too many years ago in ana¡ticle entitled, "Liberatión? Notat ORU!" the statement was madethat "a woman's main ministry isto men." I think our ministry hasbranched out since that timê.

for them."Another editorial entitled ..Acti-

vated Women" begins, ..We pro-ceed on the premise that the ORUwoman has been liberated .,'This interesting statement wouldtake a lot of courage to print,unless you read further. You,lifind that this so-called ORU"woman's liberation" is based onthe assumption that "most womenpossess the inherent, though per-haps latent, ingenuity and-chãrmnecessary to attain tbeir personal

Rules reflect the chqnging role of ORU womenwhims without suspect."

An ORU "whole woman" in1966 had a different rulebook tolive by than we do in 1975. TheStudent Handbook stated:

"Women may wear blouses o¡sweaters and skirts, or simpledresses for classroom and casualwea¡. Suits and 'smart' dressesare appropriate for chu¡ch anddressy social events. Several setsof accesso¡ies may combine tomake a simple wardrobe sparklewith variety."

In 1966 Sally Student couldnot wear slacks at any time ex-cept after 7 on Friday nights untitthe Prayer Tower chimes struckmidnight on Saturday. The Uni-versity did not approve the wear-ing of shorts or slacks off campusf91 any reason other than "par-ticipation in a sport."

Coots cover sho¡ts

Sally could not jog over to theHRC in shorts. Her handbooktold her "shorts may be wornfrom the Residence Hall to theGymnasium and Parking Lot onlywhen covered by a skírt or coat."

directlybicycle.be fol-

lowed was: "Shorts and slacksmay be worn on campus whileriding bicycles on weekdays, pro-vided the women arrive at thegymnasium properly dressed,leave from the gymnasium inshorts or slacks, and return tothe gymnasium for a change ofclothes ç'hen the ¡ide is over."

When did our "liberation" takeplace? In 1967, women no longerhad to wear a coat over slacks,but Sally and her friends had tothink twice before throwing awaytheir black raincoats after readinga column in the Oracle whichsaid:

"It took a while for returningstudents to get used to tle fact(that coats were no longer re-quired oraer-.slacks). Now we'rejust like any university. Com-promise starts with little thingsand then pretty soon the bigthings start to change . . .

Sally still could not wear askirt more Íhan 2 inches abovethe knee.

The big breakthrough cameduring Dean Helen Inbody's firstyear at ORU. The April 25, 1969issue of the Oracle said that

dress may be worn into Universitybuildingi after 5 o'clock Fridayevenings and Saturday until 12p.m."

Curfew chonged

Finally, the library could be alivable place. Sally Studentcould get a late pas:: for the firsttime during that month. Theblessing of late minules (althougbonly 15 of them) was initiated.Curfew was moved up from l0p.m. to 11 p.m. on wcekdays andtill I a.m. on weekentls. Measur-ing bermudas became contmon

practice, but that was a smallprice to pay. La!ßr, women wereallowed to wear slacks after 6p.m. every night! lt seems thatblue jeans were found innocentregarding charges of hinderingstudying. And late minutes multi-plied to 60 in 1973.

AWS pushed ir rhrough

.Of course, I feel AWS hasplayed a big role in pushingthings along. In the past, AWSbought ice machines for thedorms, arranged curfew changes,added vending machines, openedthe floor kitchens, added paint-ings and lamps to the first floorof the WHR, bought shower cur-tains for Braxton, and otherthings.

Major accomplishments of thisyear's AWS include: ovens for\ryHR, seminars on hair-cuttingand car repairs, sponsoring Stor-aska on rape-prevention, schedul-ing open houses, creating baking

buckets, renting TV's, getting ap-proval for aerobics passes, spon-soring a fashion show and wom-en's dinner, a taffyless taffy pull.and a tree-decorating contest. Butwe're not done yet. With themoney left in the treasury weplan to purchase a color TV forSusie Vinson, medical scales (onefor each dorm), lamps for theapartments in WHR, study lightsfor the penthouse in Susie Vin-son, full-length mirrors in Brax-ton, and furnitu¡e for Braxton'slobby.

Are these funcfions going to benonexistent when AV/S passes in-to the annals of ORU history? Idon't think so. Why? BecauseORU women are wonrcn with adifference. We have been growingincreasingly aware of ourselves aswomen and as individuals withsomething vital to contribute toour world and to our University.

Who can tell what the next 10years will bring? How much morewill woman's role change?

April 30, 1975,THE ORACLE-Poge I I

The OrEcle, 'voice of the students,' is st¡ll speqking outIt all began in ¡oom 108B of

the LRC. With a staff of eight,headed by Sherry Myers and ad-vised by Dr. Paul McClendon, theOracle, "voice of the students,"emerged for the first time onFebruary 21, 1966.

McClendon, then director of

Learning Resources, mentionedto the academic dean, Dr. Massey,that ORU needed a yearbook anda newspaper. An announcementwas made and about 20 studentsgathered in LRC 237. From thatgroup came the first Oracle andPerihelion staffs.

McClendon recalls that in thebeginning, the Oracle had nofunds. "The school set it up andlaunched it." Grants were ob-tained through President Robertsand Dr. Hamilton. McClendonsaid that he appreciated all theadministration had done for the

Oracle in its early yerrs- "They\egiven strength and opportunity forit to happen and to move."

Dr. Hamilton wanted guidelinesset up for the Oracle. A publica-tions committee composed of stu-dents and faculty members drewup a list of guidelines and sub-

mitted it to t}le staff. The staffinsisted on stricter guidelines thanthose outlined by the committee."They always had in mind notonly the audience of students, butalso those outside who wouldread it," McClendon said of theoriginal staff.

The word oracle means "aninfallible authority; a wise utte¡-anoe; a divine communication."As McClendon remembers, theDame was chosen because to thestaff, it was their voice to otherstudents."

The Oracle began as a four-page paper. Because of the sizeof the student body, most of thenews printed centered on thestudents themselves. It was notuncommon to find engagementsprinted on the front page.

In a 1967 issue, among others,President Roberts wrote a letterwelcoming the students to ORU.Faculty members also contributedarticles.

The Oracle became a weeklypaper in 1969 under editor JanDargatz. Jan compared her st¿ffto the present Oracle staff, point-ing out that her staff was smaller,had less organization, less redtape and no trained writers. Stu-dents worked on the paper "strict-ly for no credit."

Trvo-page Oracles are a thingof the past. No longer does theOracle print advertisements onthe front page. The staff numbers11, excluding contributors; form-er staffs had as few as four per-manent members.

You may not think that theOracle is "an infallible authority,"6¡ "¿ wise utterance." Perhaps youdo not even consider it "a divinecommunication." But it is, for thisChristian University, a small partof the voice of God. It may bejust a whisper, but it can be andis being heard.

The Collegian.s were formed in1968, to tour Israel and Europesingng the gospel as an out-teach of the Oral Roberts minis-try.

They came back to Tulsa andstayed together to become theWorld Action Singers in Decem-ber of that year. December wasthe time Oral Roberts began histelevision ministry again, andWorld Action Singers were adop-ted as part of the "TV family."

Patti Holcombe was a memberof the Collegians. She marriedRichard Roberts in November1968, and they were both mem-bers of the first World Action

That's not to discredit myfather-inJaw's graciousness, be--cause there are a lot of very finesingers. We've had singers in thegroup that can out sing me. I'mjust sticking harder!"

What are the differences in theWorld Action Singers of 1968and -1975? For one, the groupsize has shrunk from over 20 tò12 at present. Patti sees otherchanges. "We were, unknown toi¡s, more show biz orienteti in thebeginning, less polished, but evenso, more show biz. We were

The Singers are better accept-ed than they once were, accord-ing to Richard and Patti. "\Megot a lot of stones thrown at usbecause everybody felt like thekids thought they were betterthan everybody else, because theywere members of the big WorldAction Singers," Richard says. Pat-ti feels the show business attitudealienated the Singers, and sheblames "ignorance rather than in-tention." Although it took them awhile to find their niche, Richardsays, "I think the relation be-tween the Singers and the restof the student body has mel-lowed."

The Singers have always drawncriticism from the outside, espec-ially at fi¡st. Richard says, "Wegot a lot of criticism because wedid choreography. I mean, in1968 when you sang a gospelsong, you stood with your handsto your side or you were com-mitting a tremendous sacrilege.

Dean lnbody offers hope, strength to ORU women

Poge ló-fHE ORACIE, April 30, 1975

by renee colwill

If you caught her in her coun-try home outside Keefer, Okla.,you would probably be convincedthat this nature-loving lady waspart country girl. Seeing her thenext day as a stunning \¡-omanwho has imparted strength andhope to innumerable students,you would probably say her tal-ents are too vital to be stashedaway on Oklahoma farmland.

But Helen Inbody hasn't beenfar removed from ORU thesepast 7 years. Her days haven't al-ways ended at 4:3O, and she's putmore than just her time intoORU. As adjunct prof essor.counselor, director of student ac-tivities, and in the other positionsshe's held besides being Dean ofWomen since 1968, she's left hermark on many areas of studentlife, and on many of the students'personal lives.

She enjoys her role as a wo-man and is interested in the dif-ferent roles women have beentaking in recent years. She hasfound these changes to be obvi-ous at ORU.

"The women students are be-coming more aware of them-selves as people," says Dean In-

body. "I see them experiencingfeelings of self-acceptance ànd ofself-worth that I didn't see in asmany of the women students 7years ago."

She says one of her main inter-ests is in helping women discoverthat they are contributing humanbeings and can make many oftheir own choices.

"Women are seeing that theyare not a failure if they don'thave a man, a husband, or adate-not to say that those thingsare not important or fun-butwomen are realizing that theynow have choices to make forthemselves."

Dean Inbody feels ORU con-tributes a great deal to the livesof the women students. "The big-gest asset at ORU is the concernshown by the people here-facul-ty, staff, and other students. Idon't know of any academic in-stitution that offers its students asmuch help as ORU. Here thestudents have the faculty, R.A.'s,academic chairmen, the counsel-ing center, and other sources ofhelp. If a girl is failing a course,her mother can call me, I'd callthe dean of students, he calls herprofessor, and they get her a tu-tor. People try harder to help the

students here."Dean Inbody says that ORU

offers its v/omen students morethan the average school. "If thewoman student took advantageof all that ORU has to offer, itcould be almost like a finishing

',scàool. There is a lot of emphasison,dres¡;' manngrs, and conductyou do'nit find at a state schoolexcept in sororitìps."

Aerobics qre exc¡t¡ng

And Dean Inbody believes inaerobics. Enthusiastically. "Theaerobics program is one of themost exciting concepts we've hadat ORU. It is meaningful forhealth, good looks, and a betterlife. I'll be using this concept inthe future when I talk to vr'omenabout the importance of beingphysically fit."

Few students would guess thatDean Inbody was a high schooldropout and teenage bride. Mar-ried at 16, both she and her hus-band dropped out of Rogers HighSchool their junior year. Laterthey moved to Tennessee. Afterboth passed a high school equi-valency test, Dr. Paul Inbody at-tended the Free Will Baptist Col-Iege in Nashville, where - heearned his bachelor's degree-Upon their return to Tulsa, DeanInbody received her bachelor's

versity of Oklahoma ExtensionDepartment, being an UrbanSpecialist on the urban develop-

rmement team, and doing extensivework in the Model City Program,the War on Poverty Program,and seminars on aging and con-genital deafness.

rWhile working and earning herdegrees, the Dean raised threechildren-two girls, Marcia andPaula, and a son, Skip. Marcia,a graduate of ORU, is presentlyemployed by the Rader Diagnos-tic_.Center. Paula is a senior atBixby High School. This past yearshe was awarded Who's Who forAmerican High Schools and be-came Bixby High School's firstwoman student body president.Skip is a member of an unde-feated basketball team at Sapul-pa. In his spare time he runs atractor and takes care of twohorses. Dean Inbody claims he isundeniably handsome.

lnbodys qre mov¡ng onAt the end of this semester

Dean Inbody will be leaving herposition as Dean of Women. Herfuture holds many possibilitiesand depends somewhat on theposition her husband accepts. Heis currently considering and be-ing considered for the presidencyof Carl Albert Junior College, forDirector of Corrections in theState of Oklahoma, and for di-recting an alcoholic rehabiiitationprogram. The Inbodys are alsothinking of opening a marriageand family growth center whichwould focus on marriage enrich-ment seminars and on preventingproblems. Dean Inbody is espe-cially interested in working with

women's growth and studiesclasses in churches.

What keeps ORU exciting?"The student body keeps reoc-curring," says Dean Inbody." Ev-ery year the new freshmen per-petuate the excitement and, withtheir enthusiasm, keep the will-ingness to give and work here."

Time ot ORU rewordingHer time at ORU has held

many rewards. "The most re-warding experience here is theone-to-one relationship f canhave with the students. I can getinside their private worlds andhelp them grow."

She's learned many thingsabout the students and two arepoints she considers to be in'r-portant. "I've learned to believein a person until proven guilty,and not to believe the first storyI hear. You have to |et a casebuild itself and not make quickjudgments."

She doesn't panic easily, butthere is also strength behind her."The two people who have con-tributed the most support to mewhile I have been at ORU havebeen Paul Inbody and BettyChesbro."

Whether you remember her asa friend, ideal "whole woman,"semi-in-residence m o t h e r orcounselor, she's a woman to re-member. Not only for her manycontributions, but also for beinga remarkable person.

"I know God led me to ORUand that He's used me while I'vebeen here."
