PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 17, 1982

MINISTERIAL EVALUATIONS OF PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
we are requesting that all completed applications of prospective
A.C. students who are seeking admission to Pasadena be here no
later than March 1st, 1983. Therefore, Ambassador College would
once again like to ask you ministers (especially those in the in­
ternational areas of the Work) to assist the Admissions Committee
in providing well-thought-out evaluations of prospective stu­
dents.
The members of the Admissions Committee rely very heavily upon
these evaluations, realizing that you ministers often have inci­
sive insights into the background, potential and/or the
weaknesses of prospective students. And since the Work invests
about $2.00 for each $1.00 which the students invest while at
Ambassador College, it is very important for us to have all of
the ministerial input possible before we make the final decision
concerning a particular individual. We don't want to accept a
single student who does not have good potential to do high level
work at Ambassador. Otherwise we can waste up to about $8,000
per student per year he or she is at Ambassador College--and that
could add up to about $32,000 wasted on a single student during
his four-year stay at Ambassador College.
We request that you ministers in the international areas send a
duplicate copy of your ministerial evaluations to your Regional
Director so that he can help us in the selection of international
students from his area. Thanks very much for your cooperation in
this matter.

Education"--from the time of Adam until the present. Then this afternoon,
Mr. Armstrong, accompanied by Mr. Larry Salyer (Dean of Students at
Ambassador College in Big Sandy), flew to our sister campus. Mr. Armstrong
planned to speak to the students and faculty, and I am sure he also planned
to have a number of meetings while visiting Big Sandy.
Mr. Armstrong continues to have formal dinners at his home for seniors in
groups of 11. He plans to have all of the seniors into his home before the
end of the college year. Mr. Armstrong enjoys these formal senior dinners
very much; they give him needed contact with the seniors and enable them
also to have an opportunity to meet and talk with him personally. All of
the seniors I have spoken to readily express that these dinners with the
Chancellor of Ambassador College, in his own home, are the highlight of
