ORU students complain
Roberts defends changes in scholarship plan
The Associated Press
JANE GLEES (AP) — Oral Roberts has pressured medical students at Oral Roberts University to stop complaining about changes in a scholarship program funded after a bill passed that he has his life unelected be raised $8 million.
Under the revised scholarship program, first-year medical students at the Tula, Akla, school are no longer eligible for scholarship aid offered to those who plan to become missionaries.
Other medical students who sign contracts promising to work as missionaries receive up to $20,000 in scholarship aid while they are in school, university officials said Prep students whose colleges were eligible for as much as $24,000.
quiet about their dissatisfaction, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday. Several students said that at the semester's opening chapel service, Robert told them not to grumble. Robert kept your cotton-pelton mouth shut!
Students have complained that Roberts has pressured them to keep
Roberts, on his TV programs and in letters to donors this year, has insisted he never promised the medical students anything beyond one year's help. Officials in Roberts and his medical school would not comment.
a "restated loan agreement" also prohibits the students from borrowing more money than ORU must except with written permission. President欧拉 Roberts and the Boat Club
At least 25 returning students have sought legal advice regarding the new document that outlined the
revised scholarship program.
Twelve have transferred, and about half of the 15 who received scholarships had been refused to sign the new contract.
In January 1987, donations to the medical missionary scholarship program were falling when Roberts issued a nationwide plea for help. The president did not raise the money by April 1, 1987. God would call him home to heaven.
Jack Hayford, pastor of the Church on the Way in Los Angeles and a daughter of Dr. Charles Regents, said he thought the students should be grateful for any attempt to help them.
"A small group of med students feel there's been some kind of a breach of trust," Hayford said. "In a technical sense, perhaps."

Followers await Christ's return
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. Scores of religious fundamentalists are heeding an author's predictions that a prelate to Christ's second coming is near and some are selling their worldly goods to prepare for the end of the world.
years and 120 days after Israel became a nation on May 14.1948
The "Rapture" is expected to strike before Sunday, according to a report released by the Rapture Will Be In 1898." The book was written by Ed C. Wiseman, a writer.
He used mathematical calculations and biblical interpretations to pinpoint the event to within 48 hours of his year’s Jewish New Year — 2014.
According to his book, millions of the faithful will be suddenly, silently to Heaven this week and global disasters will follow.
In West Virginia, a minister reported a baptism boom. In Ohio a retired firefighter spent $3,700 for a newspaper ad to tell people that Jesus Christ will return this week to take believers to heaven.
Ed Koval said the cost of the ad in *The Blade of Toleo* was "a pittance, because if this is true and it does not pass, what money any way?*
Most religious leaders say there is no evidence to support claims that the Rapture will occur this week.
Randy Thompson, director of the Christian Studies Center in New Haven, Conn., called the Rapture appeals mainly to fundamentalists Christians who interpret the Bible as the literal word of God.
"It's just a sign of the times. People are looking for reassurance that it's going to happen." said E.S. Hanrahan, dean of the College of Science at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va.
