Printed in U.S.A. 3 When I was invited to speak to you, I was told that it was because I have achieved some success as a journalist. Well, it just may be that the most important “Thy thing journalism has done for me is to keep me out of the ministry. Both the ministry and I are, from time to time, very grateful for that. But in some ways, I Kingdom suppose I’ve never stopped being a member of the ”Central ministerial I asssociation.” That will explain the incongruity that follows: the newsman will Lome . take a text. ‘Thy kingdom come.” I like it because it suggests some underlying-if not always articulated-rationale for what we try to do with our lives. “Thy kingdom come on Earth” . on earth”-that says it a little better. It does not say that we are working for the establishment of a heavenly kingdom as defined by the United Methodists, or the Episcopalians, or any other sect. It does not say that the kingdom for whose arrival we exert ourselves must be Christian, or even specifically religious. It says .by only that for our work to be effective, for our lives to make sense, there must be some vision of what ought to be. That, as much as anything, is what education is about: by studying history to learn what has been; the Wi IIiam J. social sciences to learn what is; the natural sciences to learn how and why things happen-by studying all these things we hope primarily to refine our sense of what ought to be, and to acquire some of the skills that Raspberry will help what ought to be, to be. Now I’m going to ask you to forget something you’ve spent the last four years learning. You’ve learned balance and sanity and evenheadedness. You’ve had to learn these things, for without the openmindedness that a sense of balance implies, you really wouldn’t have William J.

Karen Louise Rogers, Indiana Pixie Central’s “pixie with a big voice,” was crowned the new Miss Indiana of 1973 in Michigan City this July. Standing an even five feet and weighing 94 pounds, Karen may be the smallest Miss Indiana in history. She compensates for what she lacks in size, however, through an with a enthusiastic approach to life and a strong singing voice. A transplanted Ohioan from the small community of Arcanum, ten miles from the Indiana border, Karen graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in music education. She had signed a contract to teach in suburban Big Indianapolis this fall-that is, until Michigan City changed her plans for the coming year. As a Hoosier ambassador, Miss Indiana will spend the year traveling, meeting people, and doing what she enjoys most- singing. In the talent segment of the Miss Indiana Contest, she received a rousing ovation from both Voice audience and judges with her spirited rendition of “Put a Little Love in Your Heart.” Karen’s performance captured the talent award and propelled her to the Miss Indiana title. As Miss Indiana, Karen received a $1,000 scholarship, a $500 fashion award, a $600 gift certificate, and the use of a 1973 model automobile during her reign. With her scholarship, Karen is beginning work on her master’s degree in music education at ICC this fall. This talented “pixie with a big voice,” who traveled to Michigan City as Miss Indiana Central College, is not only a worthy representative for the Hoosier state but an enthusiastic ambassador for Indiana Central as well. In considering the advantages of ICC over larger institutions, Miss Indiana remarked: “. I have been very grateful that I chose the path that led me to so many fantastic friends and experiences. From faculty, student body, and administration, the atmosphere at Central is one of friendliness and helpfulness. I did what I could for the college and was repaid threefold. Without Indiana Central College I would not be Miss Indiana 1973.” Alumni Day 1973 was highly successful! Not only was the weather superb and the attendance excellent, but the enthusiasm and interest shown in the college and its activities were genuinely rewarding. The campus has never been more beautiful than this summer. From Sixty-three new trees were planted around the campus in early May as part of our Campus Beautification Program. These were donated by trustees, faculty, several student groups, and other friends of the college at a cost of $75 each,. Tours of the Zerfas Wing and the new ceramics facilities were held on Alumni Day and the all were impressed by these new and spacious facilities.
