absences — 1. Chapel, four unexcused are allowed each semester.
Excuses must be to the Dean of Students' Office by the following
Friday noon for the missed Tuesday chapel and by the following
Monday noon for the missed Thursday chapel. Those who do not
choose to go to chapels will be asked to leave school. Excuse blanks
can be obtained at the Dean of Students' Office or the Residence Hall
Desks. 2. Classes, absences are counted from the first scheduled
meeting of the class and are considered as either excused or unex-
cused. Excused absences are recognized as absences incurred be-
cause of illness, authorized school trips, or emergencies beyond the
student's control. To have a class or laboratory absence excused a
completed absence excuse form must be submitted to the absence
committee no later than noon the first Monday following the ab-
sence. Absence forms "are available at the student center, library,
dormitories, and the dean's office. A box for submission of these
forms is located in the Student Center. The absence committee will
determine whether or not the absence is to be excused and notify the
teacher of their decision. An excuse due to illness may not be granted
unless the student has contacted Health Service prior to the absence.
Students having absences exceeding the number of credit hours for
the class may be subject to counsel and/or academic discipline.
Make-up Work for classes — no make-up work will be allowed for
daily quizzes and homework. A daily average will be recorded for
excused absences. Tests and major assignments missed because of
an excused absence will be made up within a week of the absence
unless other arrangements are made with the teacher. 3. Residence
Hall Worships — one unexcused absence allowed per week. (See
Residence Hall Handbook for details). 4. Church, both Sabbath
school and church attendance is required.

recommendations concerning academic matters of the college, in-
cluding the curriculum, the library, admissions and graduation re-
quirements, and teacher training; to advise the academic dean on the
application of the academic policies.

academic dean — Dr. Larry Hanson, office 2nd floor Wright Hall.

academic grievance — The college is committed to fair play in both
social and academic problems — here is the route of appeal if a
grievance of academic nature occurs: A student who believes that his
academic rights have been infringed or that he has been treated
unjustly with respect to his academic program or any portion thereof,
shall be entitled to a fair and impartial consideration of his case.
Before instituting the grievance procedure, the student shall first
present his case to the teacher or teachers and then, if necessary, to
the department involved. If the student feels that he has not obtained
justice at this level, he has the option of submitting the matter to the
Academic Dean or asking for a review of the case by the Grievance
Committee. This committee shall be chaired by the Academic Dean
or a person designated by him and shall include three other faculty

members and two students. These members will be selected by the
Academic Affairs Committee on demand. Both the student and
faculty members involved in the case are entitled to appear before the
committee or to present a written statement of the case. The decision
of the committee shall be presented to the individuals involved in
writing within three (3) days of the committee meeting unless a later
time is agreed upon by both parties. The decision of the committee is
binding and will be implemented by the teacher or administratively.
"The decision of any committee may be appealed to the college
president." (See also Right to Petition).

academic probation — When for any reason a student's scholarship
falls below a "C" (2.00) average, he will be placed on academic
probation. A student reaches the point of academic dismissal when
his cumulative grade point average fails to reach the following
accumulated levels:

Semester Hours GPA Dismissal

traditions of the college as expressed in its objectives and policies.
To qualify, applicants must give evidence of Christian character,
intelligence, health, and a will to pursue the program outlined.
Although religious affiliation is not a requirement for admission, all
students are expected to live by the policies and standards of the
college as a church-related institution. Only those who by their
conduct and attitudes respect the total program may have the
privilege of student citizenship on the SMC campus. Southern Mis-
sionary College students are not required to be members of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church or any other religious organization,
but the College administration does insist that no student detract from
or weaken the spiritual character of the College or interfere with the
benefit which might be received by those who wish to take full
advantage of the College's spiritual emphasis.

lege. 2. Students who drink alcohol are no longer students.

alternating courses — Throughout the following section, courses
which are not offered during the school year 1 979-80 will be starred
to the left of the course number. This arrangement of offering courses
in alternate years makes possible the enrichment of curricula without
a proportional increase of instructional expense.

announcements — Sorry, none are made at chapel time, but an-
nouncements of general interest can be put on the back of the chapel
attendance card. (Give this information to the Dean of Students'
Office a day in advance.) All announcements posted on the College
campus and all announcements or materials distributed on the cam-
pus must receive prior administrative approval.

appeal route — For academic problems see Academic Grievance. For
social problems see Discipline Appeal. Admissions Require-
ments — the College Catalog lists these.

appliances — See dormitory handbook for regulations.

application procedure — 1. When — New students are urged to
submit applications not later than the last term of the senior year of
high school. Applications submitted at the beginning of the senior
year will sometimes enable the College to suggest ways of
strengthening the student's preparation. Because of the difficulty
sometimes encountered during the summer months in obtaining
necessary transcripts, test scores, and recommendations, more time
will be necessary for processing late applications. Students in resi-
dence may submit re-applications without charge until March 3 1 .

Thereafter the regular application fee of $10 will be required until
July 15, after which the fee becomes $15. 2. How — Request
application forms from the Office of Admissions and Records.
Return the completed application, budget sheet and medical form to
the Office of Admissions and Records with the application fee of
$10. This fee is $10 if the application is received at least six weeks
before the beginning of the semester. After that the fee will be $15. It
is the student's responsibility to request his former schools (high
school and college) to forward his transcripts to the Office of Admis-
sions in support of his application. This will become the property of
the College. NO TRANSCRIPTS WILL BE ACCEPTED DI-
RECTLY FROM AN APPLICANT. To permit a more effective
program of counseling for admissions, applicants who have earned
fewer than 12 semester hours must submit scores from the American
College Testing Program (ACT). Test scores are valuable in deter-
mining ability to pursue a college program, and in discovering areas
in which the student may be deficient. Upon receipt of the applica-
tion, transcripts of credits, recommendations and test scores, the
Admissions Committee will.notify the applicant of the action taken.

art — One of the many majors that can be obtained at the college.

arrival — Before a student takes up residence on the campus, either at
the beginning of a school semester or for work prior to attending
classes, he must have a letter of acceptance from the Admissions
Committee. Before a housing or room reservation may be made, $50
of the advance payment as a deposit must be paid. Tentative reserva-
tions may be made without a deposit before July 1 , however, the
deposit must be paid by that date in order to hold the reservation.
After July 1 , requests for reservations must be accompanied by the
$50 deposit. On arrival at the campus the student should: 1 . Present
his official letter of acceptance at the college cashier's office and
make arrangements for cafeteria privileges, advance payment (If not
paid in advance of arrival) and safekeeping of personal funds. 2.

must be directed to the Dean of Students' Office. See absences. 2.

quired to attend the worship service that is held in the residence halls
each evening, Monday through Thursday each week. The Friday
evening vespers and Sabbath evening meditations which are held in
the church are counted for residence hall worships. Students are
allowed two unexcused absences from these meetings each week.
Failure to attend residence hall worship will place the student under
disciplinary process. Absences which are not satisfactorily cleared
with a residence hall dean will be recorded as unexcused. Residence
hall students will be notified of the record of their absences on a
weekly basis. During the fall and spring weeks of Religious Em-
phasis the evening programs are counted for residence hall worship
attendance and the morning programs are counted for chapel atten-
dance. Residence hall students who anticipate conflicts between
regular work appointments and the worship schedule are responsible
for having a written statement of explanation sent from their
employer to their residence hall dean. No excuse will be given for
worships missed because of work unless advance arrangements have
been made with the residence dean . 3. Class — see absence, class.

be attending that day. Students who accumulate unexcused absences
will receive discipline letters and will be subject to further discipline.
Absences which are not satisfactorily cleared with a residence hall

church attendance is kept in the student's respective residence hall.

attire — See dress code.

attitude — A state of mind or feeling with regard to the principles and
practices of the college and Seventh-day Adventism. A good attitude
worketh like a good medicine.

audit courses — With the approval of the department, a student may

which he is qualified. Auditors are to be admitted to classes of
limited enrollment only if there are places after all students who wish
to enroll for credit have been accommodated. Class attendance is
expected but examinations and reports may be omitted. With the
approval of the instructor a student may change a course registration
from audit to credit, or from credit to audit, during the first week of
instruction only. No credit is given for courses audited, and the fee is
one-half of the regular tuition charge.

Aussner, Rudolf — Professor of Modern Languages.

Austin, Wiley — Associate Professor of Chemistry, pre-medical and
pre-dental advisor.

automobile — Note automobile policy in ap-
pendix.

automobiles — parking:

The campus security is charged with the re-
sponsibility of enforcing campus traffic regu-
lations including giving out traffic tickets to
any hot-rodders zooming along over 20 mph.
There are a few things you need to keep in
mind. (The Vehicle Code is in the Appen-
dix.)

1) Vehicle Registration — Residence hall
students parking permits run $20 per

semester. Two-wheeled motor vehicles are $ 1 5 per semester (you
will need a wet suit to ride one). Community students parking
permits run $7. 50 per semester. Bicycles and skate boards require
no registration. Place decal on the lower left of rear window
(except two- wheel vehicles). Parking permits can be obtained
during registration from the Dean of Students' Office or the
residence hall deans.

2) Parking violations are $5 each for first two tickets and $15
thereafter. A couple of choices can be pursued once a ticket is
obtained — run over to the Cashier's Office and pay, or let a few
stack up to see what disastrous thing will happen. If a ticket is not
paid as required on that ticket, the fine plus a $2 late fee is put on
the student's statement. Rest assured, the college will not give
unlimited tickets to students who may or may not have unlimited
funds. Excessive number of tickets is an easy way to get parking
and campus driving privileges revoked.

3) If you get a ticket and feel it is unjust present your case in person
or in writing to the Traffic Court. The time and place are given on
the ticket. If you decide to appeal the ticket be sure you have
sound evidence.

4) Note carefully the signs for parking. Of all places to park, don't
try faculty parking or handicap zones. (Sidewalks and lawns are
for walking and mowing, not driving and parking.)

work for many years on the college campus. The auxiliary and

awards chapel — An annual chapel devoted to bestowing awards to

right to require withdrawal of any student who does not give such
evidence. A student's citizenship standing is determined largely by

church and residence hall worship services; compliance with campus
automobile regulations; dress and personal grooming; room cleanli-

correspondence work — A maximum of twelve semester hours of
correspondence or extension credit may apply toward a bac-
calaureate degree program and eight hours toward a two-year termi-
nal curriculum. The Home Study Institute of Washington, D.C., is
the officially recognized correspondence school of Southern
Missionary College. The college recommends the Home Study Insti-
tute for those students needing correspondence credit and accepts all
such credits when the study program is approved by the director of
admissions and records prior to enrollment. A student will be permit-
ted to carry correspondence or extension work while in residence
only if the required course is unobtainable at the College. Corre-
spondence courses, whether taken while in residence or during the
summer, must be approved in advance by the Director of Admissions
and Records. Correspondence work may not apply on the upper
biennium requirements of the major or minor. A minimum grade of
"B" must be earned to apply on the lower biennium requirements for
a major. Correspondence credit with a "D" grade is unacceptable
and a course in which the student earned a grade of "D" or "F"
while in residence may not be repeated by correspondence. No
correspondence credit will be entered on the student's record until he
has earned a minimum of twelve hours in residence with an average
of at least "C. " Official transcripts must be in the Office of Admis-
sions and Records before a diploma will be ordered. The graduation
date will be the last of the month of the receipt of the official

counsel — See discipline, levels of.

counseling and testing — The Dean of Student Affairs administers a
formal program of counseling through the Testing and Counseling
Office. This program provides various aptitude and psychological
tests as well as interest and personality inventories which are availa-
ble for students who wish to gain insight into various problems which
may be associated with their college experience and planning for life.
College entrance examination results and other personal data which
may assist in counseling and guidance are kept on file in the Testing
and Counseling Office.

counseling by deans — Because the residence hall deans are coun-
selors as well as administrators and have opportunity to become
closely acquainted with students in their dormitories, they are in a
position to give particularly helpful counsel. Students are encour-
aged to take advantage of the counseling skills available to them from
the various members of the College staff.

course load — The measure of a college course is expressed in
semester hours . A semester hour usually consists of one fifty-minute
class period per week for one semester. Thus, two semester hour
classes are scheduled to convene twice a week and three semester
hour classes three times a week. A laboratory period of two or three
hours is equal to one class period. To qualify for a baccalaureate
degree in four years, a student must take an average load of sixteen
hours per semester. The summer term may be used to advantage by
students wishing to complete degree requirements in less than four
years or by students having to take reduced programs of studies
during the regular academic year. Except by permission of the
Academic Dean, a resident student may not register for more than
sixteen or less than eight semester hours. By permission, students of
superior scholastic ability may register for a maximum of eighteen
hours. Freshmen may not exceed seventeen hours. A student is
expected to pursue a program of studies equal to his ability. Study-
Work Program . It is exceedingly important that the student adjust the
course load to achieve a reasonable balance in study and work.
During registration the student should confer with his adviser or
major professor in planning the proper balance of study and work. In
determining an acceptable study-work program, the student's intel-
lectual capacity and previous scholastic record is considered. Excep-
tions to the following schedule of study and work must receive the
approval of the Academic Dean. Maximum

modesty, and purity. . . . Even the style of the apparel will express
the truth of the gospel." Testimonies, Vol. VI, p. 96.

8 hours 38 hours

Students of average scholastic ability are advised to plan a study-
work program involving less than the maximum hours of labor
permitted. Freshmen in particular need more time for orientation and

labor regulations — Birth Certificates and Work Permits — Whenever
a student seventeen years of age or under is registered, the College

Frank Knittel

leaves

issues a Tennessee Employment Certificate. This must be signed and
on file at the College before a student may start work. In order to
provide work opportunities to students, industries are operated by the
College. The industries must serve their customers daily, necessitat-
ing a uniform working force. To continue these industries in opera-
tion, students assigned thereto must continue their work schedules to
the end of the term. (Preparation for tests should be a day-by-day
matter.) Any student who drops his work schedule without making
proper arrangements may be suspended from class attendance until
proper arrangements are made with the Director of Student Finance.
It should be understood that once a student is assigned to work in a
given department, he is expected to remain there for the entire school
year except in cases where changes are recommended by the school
nurse or approved by the College. Should a student find it necessary
to be absent from work, he must make prior arrangements with his
work superintendent. In case of illness, he will inform the Health
Service. The Office of Student Finance for the college strives to
place students on jobs to the best of its ability. For various reasons the
college cannot guarantee work to a student even though his applica-
tion may have been accepted on a plan calling for an approximate
number of hours of work per week. Some students choose class
schedules with classes so scattered that a reasonable work program is
impossible. Some are physically or emotion-
ally unable to work, others are erratic at
meeting work assignments. It is the respon-
sibility of the student to render acceptable
service to his employer in order to maintain a
job. The department superintendent reserves
the right to dismiss the student if his service
is unsatisfactory. The student pay rate is not
less than student rates set by the government
wage-hour law. It may be higher if a student
possesses special skills or training.

hours of each expired week of instruction. No student should expect
to register after two weeks of the semester have elapsed. Changes in
Registration. To avoid changes in registration the student should
carefully consider the program of courses necessary to meet his
objectives. To avoid subsequent adjustments, a balance should be
maintained between the course load, work program, and extra-
curricular activities.

ance so that the committee can be called for

choice. The chief function of the College is to provide an educational
environment in harmony with Biblical teachings and standards. One

APPENDIX

PHILOSOPHY

Seventh-day Adventists recognize that God is not only
the Creator and Sustainer of the earth and the entire uni-
verse, but also the source of knowledge and wisdom.
Although many values common to classical and modern
humanism are accepted at Southern Missionary College, it
is held that these secular values are reflections of the mind
of the Creator, the Author of all truth, transcending both
space and time.

In His image God created man perfect — sufficient to
have stood, though free to fall. Because of sin, this man
who bore a likeness to his Creator in his physical, mental,
and spiritual nature has become separated from God, los-
ing most of his similarity to his Maker.

To restore in man the image of his Creator — to promote
the development of body, mind, and soul that the divine
purpose in his creation might be realized — is the object of
Christian education, the great object of life.

Believing man to be God's crowning act of creation,
Seventh-day Adventists accept as reality the Biblical con-
cept of man's body as the temple of God. Consequently,
principles of health are emphasized that the student may
more effectively carry out God's purpose, that he may
respect the paramount work of the Creator, and that he
may live the rewarding and abundant life promised in the
Scriptures to those who do His will.

Another aspect of having been created in the image of
God is that every human being is endowed with a power
akin to that of the Creator — individuality, the power to
think and to do. It is the work of true education to develop
this power, to train youth to be thinkers and not mere
reflectors of other men's thoughts; it is the purpose of this
college to send forth men and women who possess breadth
of mind, clearness of thought, and courage of conviction.

Seventh-day Adventists believe that knowledge of a
personal God can never be derived by human reason
alone, but that God has communicated His nature, pur-
poses, and plans through divine revelation. They further
believe that the Bible — both Old and New Testaments —
was given by inspiration of God, contains a revelation of
His will to men, and constitutes the only unerring rule of
faith and practice. The purpose of Christian education is to
assist the students in knowing and doing, with Christ's
help, the will of God more perfectly. Only through Christ
can man be restored fully as he was created in the image of
God.

Our educational philosophy is, then, that true education
means more than the pursual of a certain course of study or
a preparation for the life that is now. It encompasses the

whole being and the whole period of existence possible to
man. It is the harmonious development of the physical,
mental, social and spiritual powers, preparing the student
for the joy of service in this world and in the world to
come.

GENERAL PHILOSOPHY OF BEHAVIOR

Southern Missionary College subscribes to the
philosophy that education and redemption are one and the
same. To this end the resources of the college are dedi-
cated. From time to time there are students who are
struggling to overcome serious problems such as those
relating to alcohol, narcotics, drugs, and sex (homo and
hetero). The college is eager to help these students in their
fight for victory over sin. Personnel are available for
counseling either on campus or on a referral basis off
campus.

If, however, a student by choice does not approach
these problems with a determination to overcome them or
if the student is defensive of his own persistence to partici-
pate in actions relating to moral difficulties, the resources
of the college are of no benefit to the student, who then
will be asked to leave the college until such a time as there
is evidence on the part of the student of distinct Christian
desires and growth.

PROBLEMS RELATING TO SEX

Southern Missionary College and the Seventh-day Ad-
ventist Church which sponsors it do not subscribe to the
current, growing philosophy that all matters relating to
sexual conduct are totally private and should not bear the
scrutiny of the Church or society. The college insists upon
its right to make decisions regarding admission and reten-
tion of students based upon matters relating to the stu-
dent's sexual conduct along with conduct in other matters.
Sexual immorality cannot be condoned and places a stu-
dent subject to dismissal. Conduct leading to dismissal
includes homosexuality and illicit heterosexual activities,
on or off campus. It also includes the possession of pru-
rient materials which are made available for scrutiny of
others. Suggestive language and a coarse public attitude
relating to sex will not be tolerated.

Occasionally a person makes the decision to change sex
and embarks upon an emotional and sometimes medical
course of action relating to sexual transformation. Since

20

people in these circumstances have an uncertain sexual
role, it will not be possible for students claiming to un-
dergo sexual changes to remain in school. People engaged
in sexual changes need an environment more suitable for
them to work out their unique problems than a crowded
college campus.

A student who undergoes sexual transformation will
normally be ill at ease on a campus as a student and usually
should not return even after the person involved believes
the transformation has been completed.

STUDENT VEHICLE CODE

The use of motor vehicles on campus is considered to be
a privilege. Motor vehicle privileges may be suspended at
the discretion of the Judiciary Committee, the residence
hall deans, or the Dean of Students.

All Southern Missionary College students are held re-
sponsible for acquainting themselves with and conducting
themselves according to the following motor vehicle code:

Section I — Motor Vehicle Privileges

1 . Definition of motor vehicle privileges: Motor
vehicle privileges as understood in this code
means the possession or use of a motor
vehicle — motor scooters, motor bikes, motorcy-
cles, automobiles.

2. Due to the limited parking facilities, individuals
who have satisfactory citizenship and meet any
one of the following stipulations qualify for motor
vehicle privileges:

a. Completion of a minimum of 24 semester
hours .

b. Twenty-one years of age or older.

c. Off-campus resident.

d. Freshmen may bring an automobile. How-
ever, it is to be used for home leaves only. The
plate(s) and keys are to be turned in to the
Security Officer.

3. Lending or borrowing of motor vehicles is dis-
couraged.

4. Disqualified Vehicles:

Unless previous arrangements have been made
with a dean of men or a dean of women , residence
hall students who do not qualify for motor vehicle
privileges are not permitted to bring a motor vehi-
cle to the College or to the greater Chattanooga-
Cleveland area. Students who violate this regula-
tion will be disciplined and may be required to
return their vehicle to their home immediately.

Section II — Motor Vehicle Registration

1 . Any motor vehicle that is subject to the use of a

student must be registered with the College in the
student's name at registration time or within 48
hours of its arrival in the vicinity.

2. Temporary registration for motor vehicles
brought to the campus for a short period of time
must be made with the residence hall dean.

3. Secreting a motor vehicle, undeclared and unreg-
istered with the College, or failure to register
one's motor vehicle is considered a serious infrac-
tion of College rules. (Fines for unauthorized
vehicles is $50.00).

4. A student may not register a motor vehicle which
is owned or operated by another student.

5. Registration stickers (decals) are available for
dormitory students at the residence halls and for
community students at the Dean of Students' Of-
fice during the school year. Please place in lower
left of rear window.

6. Registration sticker or decal is to be attached to
the rear bumper on the driver's side.

Section III — Parking

1. For each semester residence hall students are
charged a parking fee of $20.00 for automobiles
and $15.00 for two-wheeled motor vehicles. Stu-
dents who bring cars during the course of a semes-
ter will be charged on a pro-rated basis. No refund
on parking fees will be made.

2. Residence hall student vehicle parking is re-
stricted to assigned parking in the respective resi-
dence hall parking lots and to non-restricted park-
ing areas on campus.

3 . Students who live off campus are charged a park-
ing fee of $7.50 per semester for either an au-
tomobile or motorcycle.

4. Students who live off campus may park vehicles
in areas approved for community student use dur-
ing the school day.

Section IV — Driving

1. A residence hall student must have permission
from his residence hall dean for use of a motor
vehicle after residence hall closing time, and be-
tween Friday evening sunset and 1:00 p.m. Sab-
bath afternoon.

2. Motor vehicles are not permitted to be driven on
lawns, sidewalks or other places not intended for
vehicular use.

Section V — Penalties for Violations:

1. Parking violations are subject to a fine of $5.00
for the first and second tickets and $ 15 .00 thereaf-
ter. Failure to pay a fine within the time pre-

21

scribed on the ticket will result in a $2.00 sur-
charge along with fine on the statement.

2. Violations of the campus traffic code such as
speeding and failure to observe stop signs will
result in a fine of $10.00.

3. Secreting or failure to register a motor vehicle
with the College will result in a $50.00 fine and
possible disciplinary action.

4 . In the event of continued violations of the campus
traffic code, disciplinary action may be neces-
sary.

5. All fines must be paid in cash to the Cashier's
office by the date specified on the ticket. Failure
to pay by this time automatically cancels the stu-
dent's registration.

Section VI — Out-of-State Vehicles:

A student from a state other than Tennessee should
check with the State Highway Patrol in Chattanooga
to determine whether the vehicle license issued by his
home state is valid in the state of Tennessee. Pur-
chase of a Tennessee State vehicle license is neces-
sary where reciprocity agreements do not exist which
validate the home state license during residence in the
State of Tennessee.

Section VII — Damage, Loss or Theft:

Southern Missionary College assumes no responsi-
bility for loss resulting from theft or accident, van-
dalism, fire and other causes for damage of any
vehicle or its accessories on College property. Au-
tomobile parts or tools left outside of automobiles
may be hauled away without notice.

Section VIII — Bicycles:

1. All bicycles should be locked when not in use.

2. Bicycles are not to be ridden on campus sidewalks
or on grassed areas of the campus.

3 . Bicycles are to be stored only in designated areas.

Section IX — Inoperable Vehicles:

1 . Except by permission of a residence hall dean or
the Dean of Students , inoperable vehicles may not
be parked on the campus. Such vehicles parked
without permission will be towed away at the
owner's expense.

Section X — Traffic Court:

1. A faculty-student appeals court meets periodi-
cally to hear appeals on citations given for viola-
tions of the vehicle code. See the Activities
Calendar for dates.
