Trustee Week to Follow Homecoming Snaffu

This week marks that special time when seminary trustees grace the NOBTS campus with their presence. This week, however, all is not well after a major public relations snaffu at the Southern Baptist institution.

Last week New Orleans Seminary celebrated its birthday with a grand homecoming celebration for alumni and current students alike. The snaffu came when campus police were forced to refuse admittance to a group of people.

Mr. William Gaither and his homecoming friends showd up at Leavell Chapel Thursday evening only to find out they were not on the ticket. "We showed up to record our NOBTS Homecoming project," said an exasperated Gaither, "but campus police kept telling us we were mistaken." "I think I'd know if Bill was mistaken," Mrs. Gloria Gaither replied to a question about her husband's schedule.

Seminary President Chuck Kelley to be unaware of how the Gaithers could have confused NOBTS Homecoming for a concert. "Well, yes, we did have a concert," said Dr. Kelley, referring to the Thursday evening concert, "but that was a free concert performed by our students. We did however invite Mr. Gaither and his friends to enjoy a complimentary plate of red beans and rice.

NOBTS Trustees this week intend to look into possible causes for this major blunder.
