Chapel also served as an opportunity to distribute information to the student body This was done through announcements and special chapel sessions sponsored by Student Government Association and class officers.

Chapel announcements ranged from the routine tothe exciting. Students first learned here of the measles epidemic, football stadium, basketball field house, Student Union and random drug testing Announcements also gave students the chance to pray for each other as members ofthe student body, faculty and administration faced impossible odds.

"Surrender yourself to the Potter's hands," urgedspeakerAlHenson on Sept. 5.

Concert Review

Larnelle Harris, afour-timeGrammy winner, began hisOctober 21 concert onan upbeat note with thefamiliar"AMighty Fortress Is Our God." A colorful backdrop of lightsenhanced thesetting

The songs "Happy Day" and "All in Favor Say I" gotthecrowd toitsfeetandclappingto the beat.

It feltlikeChristmas inOctober when Harris sangtwoselectionsfromhisChristmas album

One almost expected tosee snow fallingoutside atthat point. The crowd joined intothe festivitybyjinglingcarkeys.

Problems with thesound system forced Harristochange plans acouple oftimes But, in no way did it affectquality thepresentation

Harris said after the concert that henever has "things so well planned that the Holy Spirit can't work" and sometimes God "uses equipment breakdowns to teach us something." He used theopportunity toshare from hisheart

There wasn't a band toback himup, but

Harris' tremendous vocal ability kept the crowd entertained. He did resorttothepiano acouple of times,but it basically served asa prop.

Harris chose toendthe night with the spotlight completely focused on the Lord. He led the audience in theoften tear-provoking song,"Lord, Ilove You" and then heexited the stage quietly.

The concert was what one made it to be Those who came to praise the Lord were able to do so, abundantly Those who came to be blessed were blessed Those who just came to hear some beautiful singing heardit.

In regard tohisconcerts,Harris said, "What I attempt toshareis from the heart andis honest I want tobe thesame person on the stageasI am(offthestage)."

Harrris says heknows students admire him."It's an awesome responsibility, and Idon't takeit lightly.I wanttoturnit (theadmiration) where it belongs— to theLord.

"I'm just likeeverybody else in that Ineed that cleansing that only the Lord can give."
