Linda Carleton is retiring as dean of students at Hardin-Simmons University in order to coordinate that university's Community Renewal program. She retains her title as associate vice president. She has been dean of students 19 years. Community Renewal is only one of several programs she helped form while dean of students. Others include the Unity Group, the First Generation program and the leadership program. The Community Renewal program will focus on four areas–Habitat for Humanity, a Friendship House, a literacy program and teenage outreach. Carleton will operate in both positions until a new dean of students is in place.

Thousands of spring break vacationers–mostly high school and college students–roam the beach at South Padre Island as giant sand sculptures depicting Jesus' resurrection, death on the cross and outstretched arms provide scenic testimony. Beach Reach mission volunteers would “hang out” by the sculptures to strike up conversations about spiritual matters with passersby.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND–No written record documents commitments to Christ made one night this spring on South Padre Island. But campus minister Buddy Young said hundreds of college students used the local convention center as an altar that evening to “lay their lives down for the work of the kingdom.”
