___ Stones are missionaries in residence. James and Meredith Stone are serving as missionaries in residence at Hardin-Simmons University this year. The Stones are the first missionaries affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention's North American Mission Board to serve in this capacity. Stone previously served as director of Baptist Student Ministries at Wright State University in Ohio.
___ ETBU anticipates largest-ever class. As fall classes began at East Texas Baptist University last week, registration appeared to be confirming the arrival of the school's largest-ever freshman class. At least 328 freshmen were preregistered, and a total of 400 freshmen were expected. That would top the previous record freshman enrollment of 290. University officials credited the large increase to a beefed-up recruiting program and the addition of a new football program.
