Page 2 /ËÜCÜS / November 18,1977 Editorial I believe that writing this editorial is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Partly because I hate to write editorials, but mostly because what I have to say isn’t easy to put down in so many words. But I feel led to share with all of you the wonderful thing that happened to me on the night of November 9th. In the space of an hour, a revolutionary battle was fought and won. That may seem to be a very short war to you, but it was one of the most painful battles I’ve ever fought. Actually the two opposing sides were Satan and Jesus Christ, the two strongest forces on Earth. Can you imagine the power that went into that fight? The war of 1776 was kidstuff in comparison! I didn’t print this story to influence anyone’s religious convictions. If I offended anyone, I’m sorry. I just wanted all of you to experience a touch of the immense joy that I’m still going through, and will hopefully contain for the rest of my life. I owe everyone, students, and faculty alike, an apology for my behavior before this time. A Christian’s purpose is to reflect Christ in every word, thought, and action. Sure, I’ll fail again — I’m only human. But I’m not making excuses. Christ needs no excuses. When He is Lord of a life, He transforms it! All I can say to that is “Praise His Holy Name!" I love you all, in Christ,

He blamed thison American culture, because its roots did not reach deeply enough into classical music.

A new direction in contemporary music, Stage I dubbed “art” or “ progressive” rock had been discovered, and the Americans were missing out. Or so he thought.

On Friday we beat Andrew 6-1 in a mud bath. The Eagles had an easy game; Andrew’s only goal coming on a penalty kick in the second half of play. John Nolan scored two goals, with an assist on one coming from his brother, Sam. David Mercer scored on a beautifully placed direct free kick. Sam Nolan and David Mercer com­ bined their talents in the second half, resulting in a goal by Nolan. Max Gouverne, Lou Morrison, and Jack Manfredi also tallied for the winners. Lou shot the ball as he stepped in one of the numerous mudholes, resulting in a goal and a back flip. The game with Central was postponed until Monday, due to heavy rains and poor field conditions. Champs Central opened the scoring on a shot high in the air which the keeper missed trap by an Eagle fullback. It misplaced into the goal.
