1300  Expected 
To  Register 
Says  Futcher 

Almost  1,400  students  have 
been  accepted  for  next  year,  re- 
ports Dr.  Cyril  F.  W.  Futcher, 

director  of  admissions.  Of  these, 
about  1,300  are  expected  to  reg- 
ister September  8  and  9. 

Application  and  acceptances 
are  running  about  four  percent 
higher  than  last  year,  adds  Fut- 
cher. 

Eighteen  countries,  44  states, 
and  the  District  of  Columbia 
are  represented.  Slightly  over 
one-third  of  these  students  come 
from  out  of  the  Southern  Union. 
Futcher  added  that  Thatcher 
Hall  is  about  filled  up,  and  that 
if  former  students  want  to  be 
assured  of  a  room,  they  should 
f  get  their  deposits  in  soon.

Over  40  SMC 
Students  Attend 

By  Lynda  Hughes 

With  unity  of  purpose  but 
diversity  of  languages,  more 
tli.m  12.000  young  people,  in- 
cluding approximately  40  SMC 
students,  attended  the  World 
Youth  Congress  in  Zurich, 
Switzerland. 

For  five  days.  July  22  thifnt^li 
July  26,  Zurich  was  treated  to 
a  rainbow  of  costumes— plaid 
scotch  kilts,  red  and  gold-colored 
clothes  from  Latin  countries,  the 
flowing  robes  of  African  dele- 
gates, and  the  delicate  finery  of 
the  Far  East.

"Everything  from  the  sublime 
to  the  ridiculous  happened  dur- 
ing the  Adventist  Collegiate 
Network's  (ACN)  coverage  of 
the  Zurich  World  Youth  Con- 
gress," says  Dr.  Don  Dick, 
chairman  of  the  communica- 
tions department  at  SMC,  and 


world  joined  to  emphasize  llie 
Congress  theme  "Follow  Me." 
Large  choirs  led  the  delegates  m 
singing  the  theme  song— "Hear 
the  Lord  command.  Follow  Me. 
Youth  of  every  land.  Follow  Me. 
Every  volunteer  from  far  and 
near.  Follow  Me.  There's  a  liv- 
faith  we  will  share.  We  will 
show  the  world  that  we  care. 
Hear  Ihe  Saviour  say,  'I'm  the 
truth  and  way.  Follow  me.'  " 
Delegations  from  each  nation 
presented  their  flags  Tuesday 
night  in  a  colorful  ceremony 
during  the  opening  meeting. 
Those  pre  sen  i  uvi  i  welcomed 
by  Elder  Robert  Pierson,  Gen- 
eral Conference  president,  who 
told  the  assembled  youth  that 
this  was  a  "unique  occasion  in

was  music,  the  universal  lan- 
guage Groups  from  Czechoslo- 
vakia. Yu^oOavia.  Africa,  United 
States,  and  many  other  places 
sang  specials  ill  the  meetings. 
A  massed  youth  choir  was  di-

could  be  heard  simultaneously. 
English  and  German  were  heard 
direct  from  the  platform- through 
translators.  Using  a  wire  system 
with  fixed  earphones,  delegates 
could  hear  Italian,  Greek,  Portu-

For  'Project  Concern' 

"The  people  of  Quang  Chau  vil- 
lage and  all  South  Vietnam  are 
very  touched  by  your  thought-

Lt.  Col.  T.  E.  Bulger  in  a  re- 
cent letter  to  Southern  Mission- 
ary College's  Sigma  Theta  Chi 
campus  women's  club  in  re- 
sponse to  the  club's  "Protect

"Project  Concern"  consisted 
of  approximately  70  boxes,  total- 
ing over  HOD  pounds  of  clothes, 
toys,  trinkels,  and  soap. that 
were  sent  to  the  villagers  as  a 
result  of  a  letter  from  Marine 
1st  Lt.  Wilbur  Griffith,  a  1966 
graduate  of  SMC.  Griffith  indi- 
cated in  his  letter  the  over- 
whelming poverty  in  some  of 
the  villages  near  which  he  was 
stationed.  "Your  castoffs,"  he 
wrote,  "would  be  like  luxuries 
to  the  Vietnamese." 

"Project  Concern"  was  intro- 
duced to  the  women's  club  by 
Linda  Wagner,  second  semester 
president  of  Sigma  Theta  Chi, 
MiKoe  B.iking  Co.  donated  the 


boxes  for  packing  and  postafM 
for  shipment. 

Excerpts  from  Bulger' 
read:   "Quang  Chau  is  a  

village  about  four  miles  south  cfl 
Danang.  The  people  are  rice  anM 
vegetable  farmers.  Most  of  thj

In  accompanying  letter  to  Dr. 
W.  M.  Schneider,  SMC  presi- 
dent. Bulger  said,  "Thanks  to  the 
work  of  Sigma  Theta  Chi,  and 
the  outstanding  performance  of

Southern  Missionary  College  is 
well  known  in  this  area  and  held

has  greatly  enhanced  the  image 
of  the  United  States  in  this  part

Summer  School.  A  time  in 
life — as  well  as  a  particular  in- 
stitution— when  those  who  have 
been  doing  return  to  school  for 
a  little  more  theory,  and  also  a 
boost  along  toward  that  coveted 
degree  by  those  who  wish  to 
speed  up  the  process. 

Unfortunately,  the  proverbial 
human  nature  being  what  it  is, 
neither  of  the  above  seem  much 
satisfied  with  the  process  if  die 
listening  ear  is  to  be  credited. 
Fewer  and  fewer  studenls  seem 
to  consider  college  and  the  edu- 
cation that  it  prefers  as  an  assist 
toward  the  accomplishments 
they  wish  to  reach.  The  concept 
is  apparently  that  of  an  artificial 
series  of  challenges  and  obstacles 
which  are  gleefully  tossed  into 
the  supposedly  broad  and  easy 
path  of  progress  by  slyly  grin- 
ning professors  who  pick  a  few 

pass  into  an  educational  limbo. 
Whether  this  is  or  is  not  true 
has  nothing  to  do  with  the  gen- 
eral student  attitude  toward  the 
educational  process.  It  might  be 
well  to  bear  in  mind  that  the 


most  outlandish  alle«atie 
ally  have  their  basis  ii 
miniscule  trace  of  truth. 

The   intensive   speed,   not   to     . 
mention    the    pressure,    of    the 

either  increase  the  number  of 
complaints  along  this  line  or  the 
intellectual  honesty  of  the  stu- 
dent; sometimes  both  at  once. 
Interestingly  enough,  the  stu- 
dent who  happily  betakes  him- 
self off  to  summer  school  runs 
full  tilt  into  the  hardrock  basis 
of  the  educational  process.  Edu- 
cation in  and  of  itself  is  not 
meant  to  be  entertaining.  It  can 
be  fun,  but  it  has  no  interest  in 
trying  to  be.  Summer  schools 
are  education  with  the  intensity 
left  in  and  most  triviality  out. 
This  intensity  would  increase 
the  value  of  the  fall  and  spring 

gin. 

Since  tins  intensity  would  be 
much  harder  on  the  teachers 
than  the  students,  very  little 
faculty  interest  can  be  aroused 
in  such  a  program.  The  result  is 
a  loss  to  the  stuilenl  in  v.ihie  and 


l.elievmglv  embarrassing  elec- 
tion blunder-,  die  t  ircumstaiK  es 
have  reached  deplorable  depths. 
A  student  body  wants  to  see 
more  in  the  way  of  accomplish- 

than  a  few  pieces  of  red  wood. 
But  in  all  this  mess  we  have 
one  really  big  consolation — man 
was  created  with  his  eyes  in  the 
an  advantage  in  convenience. 
He  learns  less  in  more  time. 

This  opens  up  a  wide  vista 
for  an  education  only  lightly 
touched  between  basketball 
games  and  Saturday  night  dates. 
And  this  misses  the  whole  point. 
And  what,  pray  tell,  is  the 
point? 

Summer  school,  even  more 
than  the  fall  and  spring  terms 
at  SMC,  are  meant  to  give  tools 
to  the  ignorant — "making  wise 
the  simple,"  if  you  please— so 
that  the  constitutionally  guar- 
anteed "pursuit  of  happiness 
can  be  continued  with  a  little 
discernment  and  intelligent  in- 
sight. 

How  fast  tin-  happens  seems 
to  have  slipped  out  of  the  pic-

Student  Missionaries  Describe  Work 


Having  all 
except  the  radio  cut  off  because 
of  a  war,  flying  halfway  around 
the  world,  or  giving  injections 
to  little  children  all  day — this  is 
what  is  happening  to  SMG's  stu- 
dent missionaries  this  summer. 

Doug  Foley,  SMC's  mission- 
ary to  Honduras,  reports  that  in 
spite  of  the  war  between  Hon- 
duras and  El  Salvador,  work  is 
going  on.  However,  the  war  does 
hinder  things  somewhat.  There 
is  no  communication  between 
Bay  Islands,  where  Doug  is 
working,  and  the  mainland  as 
long  as  the  fighting  is  going  on. 
The  only  news  that  they  hear 
must  come  over  the  radio.  Says 
Doug,  "We  hear  what's  going 
on,  and  that's  about  it!" 

On  the  island,  Doug  is  help- 
ing Elder  William  Boykin,  but 
the  war  is  hindering  evangelistic 
efforts  in  Pandytown  and  Punta 
Gorda.    At    night,    there    is    a 


Sigma  Theto  Chi 
Organizes  Summer 
Activities  for  Girls 

Girls  have  ideas  and  good 
ones  too.  That  is  why  the  ladies 
of  Thatcher  Hall  have  a  Sigma 
Theta  Chi  club  for  the  first  time 
this  summer. 

There's  action  too! — and  par- 
ticipation which  proves  that  in- 
teresting things  are  planned. 

The  first  item  of  fun  was  a 
"treat"  in  the  Purple  People 
Treater,  Collegedale's  pink  and 
purple  polka  dotted  bus.  It 
carried  the  girls  to  Baskin- 
Robbins  ice  cream  parlor.  The 


cost?  "About  25  cents  for  dieters 
and  more  for  those  who  don't 
care,"    said    Jo    Anna    Mohr, 

Other  events  include  a  flat 
rate  smorgasbord  in  the  new 
dining  hall,  an  afternoon  of 
swimming  and  water  siding 
followed  by  supper  at  Harrison 
Bay,  and  the  film  "Father  Is  a 
Bachelor." 

The  officers  are:  Miss  Mohr, 
president;  Katrina  Long,  social 
vice  president;  Nita  Daniels, 
religious  vice  president;  Beverly 
Solomon,  secretary;  and  Me- 
lanie  Lyon,  treasurer. 

Perhaps,  since  the  idea  seems 
successful,  it  will  become  a  tra- 
dition in  future  s

hike  across  the  island  to  conduct 
follow-up  meetings  in  Punta

planned  for  Pandytown  in  early 
August. 

Joe  Saladino,  a  self-support- 
ing student  missionary  to  Bang- 
kok, Thailand,  says  that  he 
has  found  great  need  in  the  Far 
East.  Almost  all  of  the  Advent- 
ist  hospitals  that  he  has  visited 
over  there  are  understaffed.

the  eighth  through  twelfth 
grades  at  the  Ecamai  School.  He

Roatan,  the  island  on  which 
Doug  is  staying,  is  a  typical 
Caribbean  island,  with  sandy 
beaches,  palm  trees  and  crystal- 
clear  water.  But,  adds  Doug,  the 
weather  is  so  hot  that  he  must 
take  a  siesta  everyday,  or  col- 
lapse from  over-exertion.  The 
only  transportation  on  the 
island,  other  than  walking  is  by 
boat,  though  there  is  one  road  on 
the  island.  In  fact,  some  of  the 
coastal  villages  are  built  over  the 
water  on  stilts. 

Doug  spends  his  time  helping 
Elder  Boykin  visit  the  people, 
giving    Bible    studies,    teaching 

Three  SMC  Professors 
Listed  in  WHO'S  WHO 

Three  Southern  Missionary 
College  professors — Drs.  Alma 
Chambers,  K.  M.  Kennedy  and 
LaVeta  Payne — are  listed  in  the 
new  editions  of  "Who's  Who  in 
American  Colleges  and  Univer- 
sity Administrators"  (Kennedy) 
and  "American  Men  of  Science" 
(Chambers  and  Payne). 

Neither  Dr.  Chambers  or  Dr. 
Payne  knew  the  other  one  had 
been  chosen  and  contacted  until 
it  came  out  in  print. 

Dr.  Chambers  received  her 
doctorate  degree  in  educational 
psychology  from  the  University 
of  Southern  California  in  1967. 
Her  dissertation  was  entitled 
"The  Physiological  and  Psycho- 
logical Measurements  of  Anxiety 
and  Their  Consequence  on  Men- 
tal Test  Performance."  She 
came  to  SMC  in  1965  and  is 
now  serving  as  associate  profes- 
sor of  psychology. 

Dr.  Payne  is  currently  serv- 
ing as  professor  of  education  and 
psychology  at  SMC.  She  re- 
ceived her  doctorate  in  second- 
ary education  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Nebraska  in  1952.  Her 
dissertation  was  entitled  "Col- 
lege Attendance  of  Graduates  of 
101  Nebraska  High  Schools." 
■She  has  been  at  SMC  since  1966. 

Dr.  Kennedy  was  the  director 
of  a  recent  comprehensive  study 


also  sponsors  their  annual,  con- 
ducts choir,  and  teaches  a  Sab- 
bath School  class. 

He  reports  that  the  students 
there  are  great,  and  have  "great 
class  spirit" — 35  of  his  40  tenth 
graders  came  for  eight  hours  to 
paint  and  fix  the  classroom,  and 
not  a  one  did  any  griping. 

Linda  Lane  and  Brenda  Hall 
are  working  at  the  Polyclinique 

and  report  made  by  the  Teacher 
Education  Council,  in  which 
SMC  administrative  officers  and 
faculty  cooperated  in  order  to 
receive  accreditation  to  prepare 
elementary  teachers  at  the  bach- 
elor's degree  level. 

(The  accreditation  was 
granted  and  made  retroactive  to 
Sept.,  1967).  Dr.  Kennedy  re- 
ceived his  Ph.D.  degree  in  Edu- 
cation from  the  University  of 
Tennessee  at  Knoxville  in  1955. 
He  is  in  his  18th  year  at  South- 
ern Missionary  College.

SA  Sponsors 
Camping  Trip 
To  Smokies 

SMC's  SA  'possum  is  not  dead 
— it  has  just  gone  camping!  Stu- 
dents staying  on  campus  for  the 
summer  were  treated  to  a  camp- 
out  in  the  Smokies  July  18-20. 
Camping  out  in  the  Cherokee 
National  Forest  near  Tellico 
Plains,  the  two  dozen  campers 
went  swimming,  hiked,  ate  and 
relaxed  for  a  weekend  in  the 
woods. 

Talks  by  Dr.  Knittel  inspired 
the  campers  both  Friday  night 
and  Sabbath  morning.  The 
group  also  enjoyed  food  and 
games  a  la  Hanson. 

Nature  was  close  to  the  camp- 
ers, with  crickets,  bull  frogs  and 
a  nearby  stream  providing  the 
accompaniment  for  singing 
choruses.  A  hike  Sabbath  after- 


into  a  fascinating  new  depart- 
ment for  WSMC.  The  new  de- 
partment, Production  Services, 
was  begun  in  a  limited  way  3 
years  ago  by  Curtis  Carlson,  a 
WSMC  staff  member,  and  be- 
came official  in  June  this  year. 

The  basic  purposes  of  Produc- 
tion Services  are  to  provide  a 
place  for  ministers  and  other  in- 
terested persons  to  obtain  pro- 
fessional recording  facilities  and 
to  provide  inspirational  material 
for  small  churches,  and  isolated 
or  interested  members.  Aside 
from  these,  additional  benefits 
will  be  the  training  of  communi- 
cations students  and  added  in- 
come which  will  help  WSMC 
become  more  self-supporting. 

The  two  main  aspects  of  this 
program  are  to  make  tape  re- 
corded sound  tracks  for  various 
conference  programs  and  to  du- 
plicate tapes  for  lay  members 
and  interested  persons. 

Already  several  f  i  lm  s  t  r  i  p 
sound  tracks  have  been  pro- 
duced, such  as  "That  Certain 
Sound,"  a  production  for  the 
Southern  Union,  and  "The 
Dawn  of  a  New  Day,"  for  the 
Religious  Liberty  Department 
of  the  General  Conference.   A

dron, tired  feet  notwithstanding. 
Those  who  were  fortunate 
enough  to  be  able  to  break  away 
from  the  hectic  schedule  of  sum- 
mer school  and  work  can  well 
testify  to  the  fact  that  what  was 
once  known  as  a  dead  SA  has 
begun  to  be  resurrected. 


recently  completed  sound  track 
for  the  Southern  Union  is  the 
Mission  Spotlight  on  Viet  Nam, 
a  series  for  the  Sabbath  School. 
Also  in  the  planning  is  the 
North  American  Division's 
multi-media  presentation  for 
next    General    Conference    ses- 

More  than  60  tapes  are  now 
available  for  duplication  by  the 
Production  Services.  A  catalog 
listing  available  tapes  has  been 
sent  out.  Included  are  entire 
ries  such  as  Georgia-Cumber- 
land camp  meeting  and  the  Zur- 
ich Report.  John  W.  Robinson. 
director  of  Production  Services, 
says  that  these  tapes  will  be  on 
high  quality  tapes  and  are  very 
low  in  cost.  They  are  hoping  in 
the  near  future  to  provide  ma- 
terial on  the  new  cassette  cart- 
Robinson  is  not  only  the  di- 
rector of  Production  Services, 
but  he  is  also  the  Evangelistic 
Coordinator  for  WSMC.  This 
new  office  was  formed  with  the 
hope  that  it  will  make  WSMC 
more  evangelistic  in  function 
and  further  the  Lord's  work  in 
this  area. 

Personal  contact  will  be 
stressed,  featuring  personal  let- 
ters to  interested  listeners,  and 
personal  visits  with  a  Christ- 
centered  approach.  There  are 
also  things  being  planned  for 
listeners  who  give  no  outward 
response  to  the  station.

SOUTHERN   MISSIONARY 


COLLEGEDALE,  TENN. 


SA  Lounge  Opens;  Mrs.  Fleming  Honored 


State   of  the   SA: 


Futcher  and  Smith  Request 
Total  Participation  This  Year 


Student  Association  President 
Terence  Futcher  outlined  to  the 
student  body  his  plans  for  the 
coming  year  in  his  State  of  the 
SA  address  during  the  SA  as- 
sembly this  morning.  Colleen 
Smith,  vice-president  of  the  SA 
also  spoke,  opening  the  cam- 
paign for  the  SA  Senate. 

In  his  speech,  Futcher  told 
the  students  "the  state  of  the 
SA  cannot  be  restored  to  its  old 
image  unless  every  member  of 
the  SA  participates."  He  blamed 
the  constituents  of  former  stu- 
dent administrations  for  the 
lack  of  success  in  the  earlier 
student  governments.  "Our  or- 
ganization cannot  function  prop- 
erly without  the  massed  support 
of  its  members,"  Futcher  told 
the  audience. 

Futcher  said  that  his  over-all 
objective  this  year  is  to  bring 
the  whole  school  family  into 
harmony,  creating  an  insepar- 
able union.  "Without  this  un- 
ion, our  Student  Association  will 
never  move  ahead  and  SMC  it- 
self will  be  greatly  hindered." 

SA  programs  this  year  will 
include  the  normal  round  of 
SA  activities,  noted  Futcher. 
Among  new  programs  planned 
is  the  long-planned  Tivoli  bene- 
fit. Futcher  would  also  like  to

with  over  1300  students  can't 
fin:]  eunuch  who  are  interested 
to  run  for  the  seats  in  the  Sen- 
ate," she  stated. 

In  speaking  of  her  plans  for 
this  year's  Senate,  Miss  Smith 
defined  the  Senate  as  being  a 
group  of  students: 

1.  who  are  interested  enouph 
in  the  school  and  fellow  students 
to  represent  them  in  a  student 
government. 

2.  who  are  willing  to  take  the 
n^liuii-ibllily  of  keeping  them- 
selves informed  of  the  wishes 
and  opinions  of   their  constitu- 


The  new  student  lounge  was 
formally  opened  September  9 
during  a  special  program  spon-  |

SMC's  president,  presented  the 
lounge  to  the  students  and  made

ings, but  also  on  the  campus  in

sent new  and  different  ideas, 
and  who  will  listen  to  the  ideas 
of  others.

will  make  them  feel  responsible 
for  upholding  the  principles  and 
ideals  of  SMC.

A  new  enrollment  record  was 
set  for  Southern  Missionary 
College  as  the  1300th  student 
began  registration  procedures 
late  Tuesday  afternoon. 

SMC's  beginning  enrollment 
of  1308  surpasses  last  year's  by 
60,  according  to  Dr.  C.  F.  W. 
Futcher,  director  of  admissions 
and  records,  a  4.4  perrent  gain 
over  last  year's  opening  figure. 

Although  registration  didn't 
begin  until  8:00  a.m.,  200  stu- 
dents were  already  waiting  in 
line  at  5: 30  a.m.  Monday  morn- 
ing. "This  is  usual,"  said 
Futcher,  "however,  we  regis- 
tered 1242  students  the  first  day 
this  year  compared  with  ap- 
proximately 800  by  the  end  of 
the  first  day  last  year." 

"Part  of  the  reason  for  this 
increase,"  Futcher  continued, 
"is  the  breakdown  of  station  1 
of  the  procedure  into  four  lines 


by  a  number  system.  The  lines 
have  previously  been  divided 
A-L,  M-Z.  This  year  they  were 
also  subdivided  into  odd  and 
even  numbers." 

Some  students  suggested, 
however,  that  if  the  number 
system  is  to  be  completely  suc- 
cessful, it  will  have  to  be  en- 
forced.    "Organized  priority

Schneider  announced  that  the 
lounge  would  be  open  until 
10:15  each  evening.  He  also 
asked  that  the  students  not  eat 
or  drink  or  wear  their  "barn

Mrs.  Charles  Fleming,  wife 
of  SMC's  general  manager,  was 
presented  a  bouquet  of  red  roses 
by  Colleen  Smith,  vice-president 
of  the  SA.  Mrs.  Fleming  was 
responsible  for  the  choosing  of

The  lounge,  decorated  in  gold

SMC's  master  building  plan,

downstairs  to  the  present  home 
economics  area.  The  cafeteria 
building  and  the  Wright  Hall 
will  be  joined  together,  with  the 
dining  room  being  the  third

We're  Not  Perfect,  But  Almost 

sir,  as  I  have  said,  a  small  college — and  yet  there  are 
those  who  love  it  .  .  ." 

If  Daniel  Webster  was  speaking  of  SMC,  he  no  doubt  spoke 
a  truism.  Unfortunately,  however,  Mr.  Webster  never  lived  to 
see  our  school  in  Happy  Valley.  Yet,  we  can  thank  him  for 
recognizing  the  virtue  of  the  small  college. 

SMC  is  by  most  standards  a  small  school.  Perhaps  many 
students  choose  to  challenge  this  statement  after  standing  for 
hours  in  those  inexplicably  long  registration  lines  or  sitting 
through  their  first  lecture  in  the  most  uncomfortable  and  remote 
position  available  in  the  room:  the  last  seat  in  the  last  row  in  a 
class  with  110  students.  If  rulief  can  be  found  in  looking  at  the 
misery  of  others,  students  at  SMC  who  find  the  "masses"  here 
incompatible  with  their  idea  of  a  small  school  might  do  well  to 
look  at  the  dilemma  of  the  world's  multi-university. 

The  multi-university  has  been  called  a  twentieth  century 
phenomenon.  This  year  over  seven  million  students  are  expected 
to  enroll  in  U.S.  colleges.  A  majority  of  these  will  be  enrolled 
in  multi-universities:  campuses  reaching  populations  of  40  and 
5D  thousand  and  beyond.  If  SMC's  1300  is  too  big,  try  your 
home  state  university. 

Certainly  SMC  is  not  the  perfect  school,  but  we  returning 
students  view  it  as  the  small  school  we  have  come  to  love.  It  is 
our  hope  that  incoming  freshmen  and  transfer  students  might 
soon  forget  the  long  registration  lines  and  the  temporarily 
cramped  dormitory  and  classroom  facilities  and  leam  to  love 
our  small  school  of  the  South  as  we  do. 

We  welcome  all  to  SMC  for  the  1969-70  school  year  and 
hope  that  before  the  end  of  this  year  we  may  all,  like  Webster, 
appreciate  the  virtues  of  a  small  school. 

Editorial   Policy: 

The  Southern  Accent  Casts  Its  Mold 

What  land  of  newspaper  will  the  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  be 
this  year?  To  whom  is  it  targeted  and  what  are  its  aims  and 
purposes?  These  questions  must  be  answered  now  before  we 
begin  to  fulfill  our  editorial  duties.  The  mold  we  make  now  will 
be  used  to  cast  each  subsequent  ACCENT. 

The  ACCENT  is  a  publication  that  will  present  those  at 
Southern  Missionary  College  with  information  and  discussion 
pertinent  to  our  campus.  Because  the  ACCENT  is  written  by 
students  as  a  part  of  their  college  training,  and  read  by  students 
at  the  college,  it  will  naturally  tend  to  present  the  student's  view- 
point in  a  style  designed  to  appeal  to  students. 

Those  reading  the  ACCENT  off  campus  are  reading  it  be- 
cause they  are  interested  in  our  school  and  students.  With  re- 
gard to  them,  we  realize  that  at  times  we  may  not  give  a  com- 
plete picture  to  them  because  of  our  campus-centered  coverage. 
When  misunderstandings  arise,  we  hope  that  queries  will  be 
sent  by  readers  for  a  clarification  of  these  differences,  and  we 
will  hasten  to  answer  all  questions. 

We  feel  that  an  independent  newspaper  can  more  objectively 
present  the  news  to  the  school  members.  For  this  reason,  we 
will  endeavor  to  pursue  an  independent  course  away  from  other 
influences— difficult  as  that  may  be— realizing  that  the  ACCENT 
remains  the  chief  public  relations  organ  of  the  college  adminis- 
tration, and  that  we  depend  on  the  SA  for  operating  funds. 

It  is  our  opinion  that  the  best  public  relations  that  can  be 
had  for  the  college  administration  or  Student  Association  can  be 
had  only  through  effective  performances — performances  that  can 
then  be  best  reported  through  an  independent  ACCENT — an  AC- 
CENT that  reports  a  better  SA  image  and  a  smaller  gap  between 
the  students  and  college  adn  "

down  inside  me  there  is  a  little 
voice  that  shouts  "Lay  off!" 
Ami  somehow,  as  I  look  at  the 
picture  that  sticks  in  my  mind 
of  whatever  it  was  that  I  did 
(or  didn't  do),  I  shuffle  around 
in  the  dusty  corners  of  my  mind 
trying  to  assign  to  persons  or 
persons  unknown  ...  or  to  acts 
of  God  (and  therefore  out  of  my 
control)  .  .  .  blame  for  my  per-

some  writer  somewhere  said,  is 
one  of  the  easiest  and  most  un- 
fair activities  ever  undertaken 
by  the  human  mind,  or — in- 
deed—by human  society.  Look 
for  somebody  who  is  either  dis-

look  for  someone  who  is  unable 
to  defend  himself  out  of  fright, 
inexperience,  naivity,  or  what- 
ever and  hang  the  guilt  on  him. 
That  seems  to  be  the  general 
way  that  some  of  us  "get  out 
from  under."  We  don't  seem 
to  fight  our  way  out,  but  cheat. 
One  of  the  dullest  and  most 
ineffective  lines  that  I  could  use 
right  at  the  moment  is  the 
hackneyed  phrase  "You  are  only 
cheating  yourself."  (Sorry,  I 
couldn't  resist  the  temptation.) 
You  are  cheating  yourself  out

You  are  leaders.    The  greatest  I

A  leader  does  not  necessarily  I

Your  value,  then,  is  summed  i 
your  success  at  utilizing  student  I

each  hoping  to  make  his  mark 
in  college  in  his  own  way.  Some 
look  scared,  and  some  look  con-

and  registration  is  a  time  to

This  year  could  be  one  of  our

Experience  .  .  .

In  bewilderment  I  wondered 

how  I  would  possibly  squeeze 
into  one  freshman  brain  all  I  he 
knowledge  contained  in  my 
stack  of  newly  acquired  books. 

While  recuperating  from  this 
day,  I  couldn't  help  but  recall 
my  first  few  days  of  college 
life— the  first  thrill  of  riding 
onto  campus,  meeting  several 
friendly  students  and  hoping 
that  I  wouldn't  have  to  spend 
my  year  residing  in  the  recrea-

had  a  sinking  feeling  that  it  was 
going  to  be  the  longest  and  most

wasn't  far  from  right,  for  the 
lines  we  waited  in  seemed  to

Faculty  Meet 
For  Colloquium 

Faculty  of  Southern  Mission- 
ary College  gathered  for  a  col- 
loquium two  days  prior  _  to 
Freshman  Orientation  setting 
plans  for  the  coming  school 
year. 

Dr.  Charles  Hirsch,  educa- 
tional secretary  of  the  General 
Conference  of  Seventh-day  Ad-  . 
ventists,  was  the  featured 
speaker  at  the  colloquium. 
Hirsch  spoke  on  "Current  Prob- 
lems in  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Education." 

SMC's  president,  Dr.  Wilbert 
M.  Schneider,  presented  admin- 
istrative procedures  and  infor- 

The  school  calendar  for  the 
coming  year.  Graduate  Record 
Examinations,  grading  practices, 
and  ungraded  classes  were  dis- 
cussed by  Dr.  Frank  Knittel, 
academic  dean  at  SMC.

dean  of  students. 

Lovejoy  reports  that  the  cam- 
pus force  will  operate  independ- 
ently from  the  newly-formed 
City  of  Collegedale  Police  De- 
partment except  in  such  cases 
where  arrests  must  be  made  and 
prosecution  carried  out  by 
county  authorities. 

"The  basic  responsibilities  of 
the  campus  force,"  says  Love- 
joy, "are:  (1)  transport  women 
of  Thatcher  Hall  to  and  from 
their  work  appointments  at 
McKee  Bakery  during  the  eve- 
ning hours;  (2)  check  all  cam- 
pus buildings  at  night  to  see  that 
doors  are  locked,  lights  are 
turned  out,  and  windows  are 
shut;  (3)  see  that  the  college's 
policy  of  no  socializing  on  the 
grounds  after  evening  worship 
is  enforced  (the  siudent  associa- 
tion lounge  will  again  be  open 
in  the  evenings  for  social  activ- 
ity); (4)  conduct  periodic  daily 
fire  insurance  checks  of  all 
buildings." 

Lovejoy  adds  that  the  new 
force  will  carry  no  weapons  and 
that  it  will  be  headed  by  Clifford 
Myers,  a  Collegedale  resident 
and  building  contractor  who  is 
deputized  by  the  city.     Myers

nursing  class.     Medical 

Mrs.  Caroline  Mor-

the  group  to  the  campus.  Vocal 
and  flute  solos  were  given  by 
Brenda  Murray  and  Narcissa

the  nursing  class. 


Ta/ge  Wafer  Problem  Solved 


A  new  channel  of  i 
cation  between  the  administra- 
tion and  students  was  opened 
this  week.  A  press  conference, 
under  the  direction  of  William 
H.  Taylor,  director  of  college 
relations,  was  held  Tuesday 
afternoon. 

Topics  discussed  at  the  first 
conference  included  a  run-down 
of  coming  events  for  October, 
a  statement  by  Dr.  W.  M. 
Schneider  on  the  coming  board 
meeting,  and  a  short  question 
and  answer  period. 

The  purpose  of  these  confer- 
ences, according  to  Taylor,  is  to 
publicize  new-  happenings  mi 
campus.  Every  administrator, 
student  leader,  or  press  secre- 
tary has  been  invited  to  use 
these  conferences  to  keep  others 
informed  of  the  coming  activi- 
ties. Questions  about  the  oper- 
ation of  the  college  will  also  be 
answered,  added  Taylor. 

The  press  conferences  will  be 
attended  primarily  by  those 
interested  in  campus  activities. 
These  will  include  representa- 
tives from  the  campus  publica- 
tions, publicity  secretaries  and 
spokesmen  for  the  various  cam- 
pus organizations,  and  college 
officials.  However,  anyone  who 
wants  to  attend  is  welcome  to 
come  and  ask  questions. 

The  eleven  dates  scheduled 
parallel  the  Southern  Ac- 
cent's deadline  schedule,  so 
that  the  Accent,  along  with  the 
other  public  media  served  by 
Taylor's  office,  can  benefit 
from  the  conferences,  noted  Bill 
Cash,  editor  of  the  campus 
newspaper.  "We  hope  that  these 
conferences  will  help  us  in  our 
planning  of  future  issues," 
added  Cash.

Across  the 


Will  Riots  Come  to  SMC? 

as  the  nation  grabbed  the  headlines  h 


spring 
pted  on  college  and 
ere  at  Roosevelt  University  in 
Washington,  D.C..  Los  Angeles 
Francisco  State,  and  on  many  other  campuses, 
juntry,  people  debated  whether  militants  had 
the  right  to  prevent  other  students  from  enjoying  their  rights  to 
education,  and  many  answers  were  proposed  to  quell  the  student 
outbursts. 

Reasons  lor  the  demonstrations  were  varied— (rom  childish 
campus  policies  to  outmoded  education.  Students  complained 
about  the  large,  impersonal  universities,  poor  communication 
between  administration  and  students,  and  the  Vietnam  war  and 
the  draft. 

The  reactions  to  the  demonstrations  were  varied,  also.  Tear 
gas  and  troops  were  needed  at  some  campuses  to  stop  the  riot- 
ing. Others,  such  as  Notre  Dame's  President  Hesbaugh  and  Cali- 
fornia's Reagan  proposed  immediate  expulsion  and  other  hard- 
nosed  anti-revolutionary  policies. 

Thus  far,  no  demonstrations  or  riots  have  taken  place  on  the 
campus  of  Southern  Missionary  College— a  fact  of  which  we  all 
can  be  proud.  Even  so,  students  have  been  warned  that  there 
had  better  be  no  such  demonstrations  on  campus  this  year. 

The  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  regrets  that  such  a  warning  had 
to  be  given.  As  one  student  leader  put  it,  "Telling  the  students 
not  to  riot  is  like  telling  the  crew  of  a  ship  not  to  mutiny-  Why 
put  the  idea  in  their  heads?" 

As  we  notice  the  issues  causing  riots  at  other  schools,  we 
see  very  few  issues  that  SMC  students  can  complain  about.  We 
can't  cry  about  the  largeness  ol  our  campus  and  the  impersonal- 
ity of  it.  Our  administration  is  doing  all  they  can  to  close  the 
communication  gap,  with  both  Intercom  and  press  conferences 
allowing  the  students  to  directly  voice  their  opinions  to  the  ad- 
ministration. 

Other  universities  have  worked  to  alleviate  demonstrations 
by  allowing  students  to  participate  in  administrative  committees 
— a  privilege  we  already  enjoy.  The  school  has  already  proved 
that  they  will  do  their  best  to  improve  conditions — the  building 
program  testifies  to  that.  Campus  policies  are  continually  being 
up-dated,  and  students  are  given  the  chance  to  help  revise  the 
handbook. 

TIME  magazine  (April  11,  1969)  concluded  its  study  on  riots 
by  saying  that  demonstrations  will  continue  until  a  moderate 
majority  respecting  the  institution  is  mobilized,  and  a  coalition 
is  organized  to  discuss  the  problems  of  students. 

So  long  as  the  students  and  administration  at  SMC 
meeting  these  conditions,  demonstrations  or  riots  will  ne~

being  made.  I  might  also  point 
out  that  the  grounds  on  which 
some  films  are  being  rejected  are 
very  ill-considered.  For  instance, 
there  is  not  a  young  person  in 
attendance  at  this  institution 
who  is  not  well  aware  of  the  fact 
that  when  an  army  sergeant 
groups  his  squad  to  charge  a  hill, 
he  does  not  say  "Well,  come  on, 
boys,  let's  go  get  'em!"  Not 
hardly,  he  doesn't!  His  vocabu- 
lary fits  the  occasion — a  mo- 
ment when  men  are  about  to 
lose  their  lives. 

Protection  by  censorship  is  a 
fine  idea,  when  not  carried  to 
excess.  And  to  those  on  the 
other  side  of  the  controversy 
and  who  carry  the  responsibility 
of  making  the  decisions  in- 
volved, I  say,  "You  have  my 
sincerest  sympathy." 

But  with  my  sympathy,  you 
will  also  get  my  critical  evalua- 
tion of  how  well  you  succeed. 
Now,  how  about  some  films  that 
are  thought-provoking  and  not 
just  irritating?

Emilio  Knechtle 


Note:  On  September  19,  20, 
\and  21,  Emilio  B.  Knechtle,  a 
owned  Adventist  layman 
and  businessman,  was  on  cam- 
o  speak  during  SMC's  an- 
nual Missionary  Volunteer 
Weekend.  Relating  his  experi- 
ences as  a  Swiss  immigrant,  his 
success  in  American  business 
and  social  circles,  and  his  con- 
version to  Christianity,  Knechtle 
brought  a  message  which 
seemed  to  inspire  most  SMC 
students  to  seek  a  stronger  re- 
lationship with  Christ  and  a 
greater  role  in  Christian  wit- 
nessing. Now  serving  as  director 
of  a  private  day  school  for  boys 
in  New  Canaan,  Connecticut. 
Knechtle  was  formerly  board 
chairman  of  a  large  New  York 
pharmaceutical  company  and  a 
prominent  layman  in  New  York 
religious  circles.  He  was  once 
chairman  of  the  Protestant 
Council  of  New  York  City.  He 
helped  raise  a  million  dollars  for 
the  Billy  Graham  Crusade  in 
New  York  and  was  elected  co- 
chairman  of  the  World's  Fair 
Religious  Committee. 

After  his  visit  to  the  'Gate,' 
a  Chattanooga  coffeehouse-type 
ri'iingeHstic  center  operated  by 
several  SMC  students  as  a 
means  of  Christian  witnessing 
with  college-age  young  people. 
Knechtle  was  interviewed  by 
Accent  managing  editor.  Mike 
Foxworth. 

Accent:  During  the  weekend 
you  have  said  much  about  how 
you  witness  for  your  faith  with- 
in the  professional  society  and 
you  have  spoken  to  college  slu- 
I  dents,  most  of  whom  will  be 
I  entering  professional  fields. 
What  is  your  advice  to  these 
,  students  to  help  them  witness  to 
I  their  peers  later  in  life? 
I  Knechtle:  I  would  like  to  see 
I  many  of  today's  college  students 
I  in  Adventist  schools,  if  they 
I  plan  to  enter  education,  enter 
I  public  schools  and  secular  uni- 
I  versifies  and  become  very  in- 
Ivolved  in  the  academic  life  of 
I  these  schools  and  universities. 
I  Then,  once  inside  these  institu- 
Itions,  I  should  like  to  see  them 
I  witness  by  their  lives  and  their 
I  testimony     to     the     power     of 


•ho  believe  in 
God,  His  law,  and  in  the  Bible, 
so  that  they  can  help  young  peo- 
ple find  a  purpose  in  life.  They 
apparently  have  no  purpose 
now,  therefore  they  are  bent  on 
destroying  the  institution  and 
rebelling  against  -ill  authority. 
It  begins  right  with  the  faculty 
anil  administration  and  for  this 
reason  I  would  like  to  see  our 
teachers  take  positions  at  Har- 
vard. Yale,  Princeton,  and  other 
schooh  and  exert  a  deep  influ- 
ence for  Christ. 


wants  to  preach,  win  souls,  and 
fill  responsible  jobs  in  the  local 
church  so  that  the  pastor  mov 
do  his  job  better.  Every  pastor 
in  our  denomination  is  over 
worked,  so  much  so  that  he 
doesn't  have  time  with  Christ. 
No  wonder  many  of  our  ser- 
mons fall  flat.  The  ministers 
don't  feed  the  people  because 
they  themselves  don't  have  time. 
In  order  to  change  this,  in  order 
to  get  this  time  lo  be  with  Christ, 
the  minister  needs  to  delegate 
responsibility   to  laymen. 

to  one  who  is  totally  unreceptive 
to  the  Gospel? 

Knechtle:  Many  people  have 
turned  me  off  when  I  have  tried 


'to  witness  to  them.  In  my  wit- 
nessing I've  made  an  agreement 
with  the  Holy  Spirit.  First,  I 
test  to  see  if  the  Holy  Spirit  has 
prepared  this  person  for  me  to 
speak  with  him  by  asking  the 
individual  if  he  is  interested  in 
spiritual  things.  If  they  show 
a  total  lack  of  interest,  I  don't 
go  on  any  further.  If  they  show 
no  interest  in  wanting  to  know 
Christ  personally,  I  also  stop.  If 

either  of  these  points,  I  inquire 
of  other  Christians  to  see  if  and 
how  they  have  witnessed  to  him. 
Prayer  is  the  basis  of  witness- 
ing.   We  should  pray  that  the

you  students  in  articulating  the 
Gospel.  It's  giving  everyone  of 
you  a  wonderful  opportunity  to 
tell  the  beautiful  love  story  of 
Christ. 

Our  young  people  need  to  be- 
come involved  in  life  as  you  are 
doing  at  the  'Gate.'  It  may  cost 
you  everything.  But  we  must 
pay  a  price,  because  to  live  is  to 
love,  to  love  demands  sacrifice, 
and  sacrifice  brings  suffering. 
It's  that  chain  reaction.  That's 
what  the  gospel  is  all  about.  The 
Christian  must  learn  to  suffer 
for  the  sake  of  his  fellowman. 
to  take  on  his  problems  and 
identify  himself  with  these 
problems  and  give  himself  for

Knechtle:  If  there  is  a  gap  of 
this  type  in  our  schools,  it's  dif- 
ferent from  that  on  secular 
campuses.  There,  it  is  a  lack  of 
God,  while  in  our  schools  I  sus- 
pect that  we  have  not  given  the 
students  sufficient  freedom.  We 
have  fenced  them  in  too  much 
so  that  the  world,  the  outside, 
has  become  so  attractive  to  them 
that  they  have  discarded  their 
faith  and  all  restrictions  and  re- 
belled agamst  the  church.  We

God,     from     Christ,     from     the

Therefore,  we  need  men  who 
:iave  the  courage  to  go  back  in. 
taking  the  beating  that  they  will 
take,  but  bringing  Christ  back

and  become  involved  in  the  so- 
cial life,  be  outstanding  in  their 
1'iofesslnn  so  that  they  will  be 
admired  by  their  fellows. 


Accent:  Do  you  believe  that

versities is  that  the  faculty  has- 
the  right  example,  a

Clinsi 


Knechtle:   Today's    campuses 
need  faculty  members  and  ad- 


them  as  individuals,  trust  them, 
have  faith  in  them,  and  not 
panic  if  one  does  transgress. 

I  hope  that  many  of  our  col- 
lege students  who  plan  to  teach 
will  also  go  into  our  schools  and 
improve  the  atmosphere  and 
bring  about  a  situation  which 
will  let  the  love  of  Christ  per- 
meate the  whole  school. 

Accent:  In  observing  student 
reaction  to  your  messages  of  the 
weekend,  many  have  said  that 
you  have  communicated  with 
the  students.  Do  you  feel  that 
other  laymen,  businessmen  or 
professionals  like  yourself, 
would  do  more  in  speaking  wilh 
and  helping  young  people  in  the 
church  with  their  problems  and 
needs? 

Knechtle:  Absolutely!  But  we 
have  not  given  the  laymen  in 
our  denomination  sufficient  re- 
sponsibilities. We  are  a  minis- 
ter- or  pastor-oriented  church. 
Other  denominations  —  Protes- 
tant, Catholic— are  giving  much 
more  responsibility  to  the  lay- 
men. Our  laymen  should  be  in 
the  administration  of  the  church 
doing  such  work  as  required  of 
business  managers.  They 
shouldn't  be  ordained  pastors 
An  ordained  pastor  belongs  he- 
hind  the  pulpit  — preaching. 
There  is  a  tremendous  army 
ready  to  go  to  work— fighting. 
Only  our  officers  have  been

at  arms  length.     The  layman 


Preceptor  (Dean  of  Men) 
Hall  led  me  up  the  stairs  and 
down  the  corridor  to  my  room. 
After  two  days  of  travel.  I  had 
finally  arrived  at  Newbold  Col- 
lege, in  Bracknel,  England. 
Opening  the  door,  I  saw  clothes, 
hooks,  bedding,  papers,  maga- 
zines, animal  skins  . .  .  every- 
thing piled  and  strewn. 

Pastor  Hall  had  warned  me 
that  my  roommate  felt  sick  and 
had  left  in  "a  bit  of  a  hurry," 
hut  I  hadn't  expected  a  disaster 
area!  For  two  pence  (2d),  I 
would  have  boarded  the  next 
flight  to  SMC. 

Now,  one  year  later,  I  have 
returned  to  Collegedale  along 
with  Bill  Boyle,  Elton  Kerr, 
Donna  Taylor,  and  Clarice  Wil- 
kinson, who  also  attended  New- 
bold  last  year.  Ellen  Esberner 
and  Carol  Smart  have  also  re- 
turned after  spending  a  year 
at  Collonges  in  eastern  France 
near  Geneva,   Switzerland. 

We  seven,  although  happy  to 
be  back  at  Collegedale.  are  still 
very  enthusiastic  about  spend- 
ing a  year  abroad. 

Those  of  us  who  went  to  New- 
bold  are  quick  to  tell  of  the  mon- 
ey saved  by  going  abroad  —  tu- 
ition, room,  board,  and  laundry 
cost  only  $625  for  a  whole  year. 
In  addition,  one-way  flights  a- 
cross  the  Atlantic  can  be  ar- 
ranged through  charter  night 
companies  for  under  $100. 

Going  abroad  was  certainly 
not  a  year  off  from  studies,  as 
we  at  Newbold  and  Collonges 
quickly  discovered  last  fall.  Al- 
, hough  Newbold  is  basically  set.

Essays  and  research  papers 
constitute  much  of  the  upper 
division  classwork.  Instead  of 
being  true  or  false,  multiple 
choice  and  matching,  tests  are 
almost  exclusively  essay-type, 
with  most  of  the  student's  grade 
depending  upon  Ihe  final  exam- 

With  only  an  elementary 
knowledge  of  the  French  lan-

longes were  expected  to  attend 
and  pass  college  level  courses, 
attend  worships,  go  to  meals 
and.  in  general,  conduct  a  some- 
what standard  college  program.

Not  only  did  we  find  differ- 
ences in  classroom  activities, 
but  also  in  certain  rules  and 
regulations.  For  example,  at 
Newbold  there  are  no  room 
checks,  no  penalties  for  worship 
absence,  no  haircut  or  beard 
regulations,  and  more  relaxed 
social  regulations.  Yet  there 
was  no  noticeable  depopulation 
of  the  dorms  at  night,  worship 
was  well-attended,  students 
were  well-groomed,  and  few  so- 
cial problems  existed.

On  weekends  we  went  to 
such  places  as  Stratford-on- 
Avon  (Shakespeare's  home-

of  Bath.  During  vacations  we 
went  to  more  distant  places  like 
Ireland,  Wales,  the  Lake  Dis- 
trict (where  many  great  liter- 
ary masterpieces  were  in- 
spired), Cornwall  (traditional 
location  of  King  Arthur's  cas- 
tle), and  Scotland. 

We  cut  traveling  expenses  by 
hitch-hiking,  staying  in  youth 
hostels  (very  inexpensive  youth 


hotels),  and  by  fixing  some  of

candied  my  socks,  and  pre-flav-  \

Life  at  a  foreign  school  is  not 
all  classes,  rules,  or  weekend 
trips.  There  is  association  with

the  ways  of  others,  but  we  came 
to  see  ourselves  and  America

One  of  Southern  Missionary 
College's  students  is  one  of  the 
top  experts  on  the  Swiss  immi- 
gration to  Tennessee's  Grundy 
County— and  he  became  expert 
by  accident. 

David  Clayton,  a  junior  reli- 
gion major,  is  minoring  in  his- 
tory. Last  year,  he  took  history 
of  "the  south  from  Dr.  Watrous. 
One  of  Watrous'  requirements 
for  the  class  was  a  term  paper 
on  some  aspect  of  southern  his- 
tory. Clayton  chose  to  write 
about  Grundy  County  —  his 
home  county  —  ,  located  about 
70  miles  northwest  of  Chatta- 
nooga. 

When  Clayton  went  to  re- 
search his  subject,  he  found  that 
nobody  knew  anything  about 
Grundy's  history.  "Because  of 
this,  "Clayton  said,  "I  had  to 
change  my  topic.  But  I  deter- 
mined to  find  out  something 
about  Grundy  County." 

This  summer,  he  drove  to 
Gruetli,  a  town  in  Grundy 
county,  and  began  interviewing 
the  older  residents,  recording  the 
visits  with  a  tape  recorder  and 

The  mountaineers  showed 
confidence  in  Clayton  and 
showed  him  maps  and  papers- 
that  had  been  withheld  from 
other  researchers.  Among  the 
documents  that  Clayton  now 
has  in  his  possession  is  a  pass- 
port of  Peter  Schild,  head  of  one 
of  the  first  families  to  immigrate 
from   Switzerland,   and   the   fa-

ther  of  Miss  Schild,  whom  Clay- 
ton interviewed. 

Many  of  the  residents  of 
Grundy  County  are  descendants 
of  Swiss  families  that  immigrat- 
ed to  the  United  States  in  the 
last  century.  As  part  of  his  re- 
search, Clayton  traced  the  route 
that  the  Swiss  settlers  took  when 
they  came  to  Gruetli. 

The  first  arrivals,  as  far  as 
Clavton  can  find  out,  arrived  in 
April  1869,  and  the  entire  100- 
family  group  had  arrived,  and 
was  organized  in  September, 
1869  —  100  years  ago  this 
month. 

The  centennial  was  celebrat- 
ed September  27  with  programs 
held  in  Cumberland  Heights, 
about  three  miles  from  the  origi- 
nal settlement.  Clayton  was 
asked  to  speak  and  display 
maps,  papers  and  documents 
that  he  had  made  and  found 
while  researching  the  history  of 
Grundy  County. 

Clayton's  research  is  not  fin- 
ished yet.  Late  in  the  summer, 


he  traveled  to  Washingtoi 
C,  where  he  visited  the  SwisJ 
embassy  and  asked  for  informal 
lion.  Dr.  Lukas  F.  Burckhardtf

more  documents  and  informa] 
tion.  The  embassy  then 
Clayton  to  further  his  res 
of  the  Swiss  in  Gruetli,  Tenn. 

Clayton  reports  that  he  en  joy  J 
his  research.  "If  I  didn't  do  any| 
more  than  meet  the  people, 
would    have    been    worthwhile, 
because  it  has  helped  me  i 
ting  acquainted  with  ne\

sions, and  fellowship  with  other 
youth  at  the  1969  Southern  Un- 
ion Bible  Conference  held  at  the 
Camp  Cumby  -  Gay  Youth 
Camp. 

The  central  theme  of  the  con-

was  the  first  time  that  this  ap- 
proach to  evangelism  has  been 
used  in  the  Southern  Union.

John  Loor,  pastor  of  the  Col- 
legedale,  Tenn.,  church. 

Elder  Holbrook's  morning  de- 
votional services  were  centered 
around  Christ,  and  his  character 
and  nature.  Elder  Bradford 
spoke  on  the  final  crisis  await- 
ing Christ's  remnant  church. 
He  urged  the  delegates  to  pre- 
pare themselves  for  the  crisis  by 
learning  all  they  can.  saving, 
"It's  better  to  have  it,  and  not 
need  it,  than  need  it  and  not 
have  it."  He  urged  the  spirit  of 
togetherness  "We  must  all  get 
together  if  we're  going  through. 
If  we  can't  live  together  here, 
then  we  can't  live  together  in

Bible  research  secretary  of  the 
General  Conference.  Elder  Joe 
Englekemier,  Bible  teacher  at 
Auburn  Academy  in  Washing- 
ton state,  moderated  discussions 
on  anything—" Potpourri."  An 
open  forum  of  denominational 
officers  answered  questions 
about  church  policies  and  work 
opportunities. 

"One  to  One"  evangelism  was 
presented  by  Elder  Lawrence 
Nelson,  associate  secretary  of 
the  General  Conference's  MV 
department.  Two  little  booklets 
are  used  to  bring  someone  to 
Christ  in  a  short  ten-minute  in- 
terview. A  survey  is  used  to 
break  the  ice  and  find  out  in- 
formation about  the  one  ap- 
proached. Saturday  afternoon 
was  devoted  to  using  the  new 
approach  to  evangelism  in  near- 
by towns.  Students  reported  a 
moderate  amount  of  success, 
with  150  "Real  Happiness  Is" 
books  handed  out,  and  5  or  6 
decisions  made. 

To  SMC  delegates,  the  high 
point  of  the  Bible  Conference

Oakwood  and  SMC  students 
Friday  afternoon,  when  dele- 
gates from  both  colleges  initi-

tween the  colleges. 

In  the  meeting  between  OC 
and  SMC  students,  a  frank, 
fresh,  and  free  discussion  en- 
sued, led  by  Wayne  Eastep. 
Student  leaders  present  invited 
those  from  the  other  campus  to 
come  visit  them  and  get  to 
know  each  other  better  as  in- 
dividuals and  as  races.  Ex-

when  integrated  groups  of  SMC 
and  Oakwood  students  visited 
nearby  towns,  trying  "One  to

Other  usual  features  of  Bible 
Conference  still  went  on,  es- 
pecially prayer  bands.  Several 
times  a  day,  time  was  set  aside 
for  delegates  to  gather  into  little 
bands  to  sing  and  pray. 

The  prayer  band  that  will  be 
best  remembered  by  SMC  dele- 
gates was  the  one  held  after  the 
last  meeting — after  Elder  Nel- 
son had  given  his  charge  to  the 
delegates,  and  as  students  were 
preparing  to  leave.  For  one  more 
time,  Oakwood  and  SMC  stu- 
dents prayed  together,  and  sang 
as  they  separated  "This  is  our 
day,  the  harvest  of  souls  is  wait- 
ing. This  is  our  day,  the  morn- 
ing light  is  breaking.  The  chal- 
lenge is  an  old  one,  but  the  goal 
we  have  set  is  a  new  one.  We 
are  young,  but  we  are  bold  ones, 
and  the  God  we  serve  is  a  true 
one.  And  we  will  have  victory, 
if  we  pray,  in  this  our  day."        (

No!  College  isn't  going  to  be  disbanded  and  teachers  aren't

Jorzy'  Helps  WSMC 


By  Gary 

Bob    Korzyniowski,    26,    has 

developed    a    mechanical    disc 

jockey  for  WSMC-FM.  Started 

as  a  joke,  the  idea  for  a  remote 

reality. 

Korzy,  a  name  given  the  re- 
mote control  device  by  one  of 
Korzyniowski's  associates,  co- 
ordinates the  operations  of  six 
tape  recorders  and  gives  WSMC 
at  least  six  hours  of  mechanical 
programming.  Officially  known 
as  a  program  sequencer,  Korzy 


Garner 

hood.  As  a  small  boy,  he  be- 
came interested  in  building 
radios  ,ind  fixing  equipment. 
This  hobby  was  developed  as  he 
received  eight  months  training 
in  electronics  while  serving  in 
the  Air  Force.  Later,  three 
months  of  highly  specialized 
training  was  given  to  him  by 
the  Chrysler  Corp.  at  Chrysler's 
Space  Division  in  New  Orleans, 
Louisiana,  where  he  worked 
developing  Apollo  boosters. 

Korzyniowski,  a  sophomore 
i  elision  major,  is  also  an  avid 
promoter  of  the  Gate,  a  place 
where    the    young    ge  1 1  era  imn 


SOUTHERN  ACCENT 

finds  solutions  to  personal  proh- 
lems  and  discusses  possible  solu- 
tions to  the  problems  of  the 
world.  ■  The  Gate  is  operated  by 
the  Collegedale  MV  Society  and 
is  located  in  Chattanooga. 

Korzyniowski  went  to  the 
Gate  several  times  and  became 
interested  in  the  opportunilies 
for  sharing  his  faith.  Now  a 
member  of  the  Gate  Planning 
Committee,  he  continues  to 
show  others  the  happiness  that 
i  those  who  follow  God's 


of    S.MC's    acadenm 


pm-ran 


lead 


ng. 


"It  strengthens  your  faith  in 
God  and  gives  you  a  chance  to 
tell  others  what  you  believe  in," 
relates  Korzyniowski.  "If  you 
can't  give  a  good  reason  for 
what  you  believe,  don't  come  to 
the  Gate."  He  feels  that  there 
should  be  a  Gate  in  every  city. 


Korzy  was  in  the  planning 
stage  for  a  month  and  took 
about  three  weeks  to  build.  Due 
to  a  delay  in  receiving  parts, 
however,  actual  operation  will 
not  begin  until  January  1,  1970. 

The  total  cost  of  building  the 
control  will  be  S500  including 
labor.  The  commercial  equiva- 
lent would  have  cost  about 
|  53,000. 

The  idea  for  Korzy  came 
while  Korzj'niowski  was  work- 
ing on  another  project,  center- 
ing around  telephone  evange- 
lism. A  computer  will  be 
programmed  to  call  people  on 
the  telephone  and  give  them  a 
religious  message.  It  will  then 
sign  them  up  for  a  Bible  cor- 
respondence course  and  record 
any  comments  they  have. 

Korzyniowski's  interest  in 
xonics  stems  from  his  child-

Ingathering  Goal  of  $16,000  Exceeded 


Week  of  Spiritual  Emphasis 
Features  Elder  Robertson 


Elder  John  J.  Robertson, 
Glendale,  Calif,,  is  conducting 
Southern  Missionary  College's 
Week  of  Spiritual  Emphasis. 
His  theme  is  "Let's  Face  It." 

In  his  morning  sp-^on-  Elcier 
Robertson  faces  problems  of  the 
everyday  world  as  they  relate 
to  young  people.  He  discusses 
the  issues  that  divide  American 
society  and  the  philosophies  that 
underlie  these  differences. 

In  his  opening  talk.  Eldpr 
Robertson  conceded  that  the 
world  is  in  a  chaotic  state  and 
young  people  have  a  right  to  be 
dis.siti'ified.  "Young  people  de- 
cry it  as  phony,  and  it  is  phony. 
The  church  does  not  live  in  a 
vacuum  and  is  susceptible  to 
modern    emphases    on    revolu- 

"I  believe  the  church  will 
succeed  only  as  its  young  people 
are  willing  to   help,"  he  said. 

face  it.  We  need  to  rise  to  the 
"I'pfirlunilv  itf  creating  a  bright. 
new  world  for  tomorrow. 

"We  cannot  be  like  the  os- 
trich and  hide  our  heads  from 
today's  issues.  To  relate  the  is- 
sues to  the  world  is  not  to  twist 
them,  but  relate  to  them.  I  hope 
we  shall  be  able  to  make  the 
discrimination  clear  between 
truth  and  the  world." 

Elder  Robertson  received  his 
bachelor     of     theology     degree 


"Let's  Face  It,"  says  Elder  Robert- 
son, as  he  begins  the  Week  of 
Spiritual  Emphasis, 

from  Walla  Walla  College,  Col- 
lege Place,  Wash.,  in  1941,  his 
degree  from  An- 


Uni\ 


rsity, 


Springs.  Mich.,  in  1946,  and  his 
bachelor  of  divinity  from  An- 
drews in  1965.  At  the  present 
time,  he  is  working  on  the  doc- 
torate at  the  University  of 
Southern  California,  Los  An- 
geles. 

Presently  he  is  pastor  of  the 
Vallejo  Drive  Seventh-day  Ad- 
ventist Church  in  Glandule  wilh 
a  membership  of  1350. 

Prior  to  joining  the  Vallejo 
Drive  church.  Elder  Robertson 
was  on  the  faculty  of  Lama 
Linda  University,  Loma  Linda, 
Calif.,  for  three  years. 


Eleventh  Year  of 
Record-Breaking 

Southern  Missionary  College 
and  Collegedale  Academy  shat- 
tered all  of  their  previous  rec- 
ords for  Missions  Promotion 
Day,  October  14,  with  a  grand 
total  of  $16,000,  surpassing  last 
year's  total  by  about  §500. 

This  marks  the  eleventh  con- 
secutive year  students  and  staff 
of  SMC  and  CA  have  exceeded 
previous  years'  totals.  The  rec- 
ords for  the  past  ten  years  are 
as  follows: 
1958— $4,900        1963— S10.080 

1959—  5,025        1964—  11,685 

1960—  5,140        1965—  13,044 

1961—  5,800        1966—  13,515 

1962—  7,120        1967—  14,754 
1968—515,576 

Missions  Promotion  Day  is  an 
annual  occasion  in  which  the 
college  and  academy  students 
and  faculty  take  leave  from 
classes  and  normal  campus 
routine  to  participate  in  a  pro- 
gram sponsored  by  the  Sev- 
enth-day Adventist  Church  for 
l  he  purpose  of  raising  funds  for 
health,  educational,  and  disaster 
relief-welfare  assistance  for  the 
world's  needy  and  impoverished 
people.  A  portion  of  the  funds 
raised  last  year  went  to  assist 
those  involved  in  the  disaster 
caused  by  hurricane  Camille  in 
southern  Mississippi  and  Ala- 
bama this  past  summer. 

This  year,  approximately  500 
students  and  faculty  members 
covered  an  area  of  about  200- 


Senate  Votes  to  Raise  $7,000 


The  Student  Association  has 
begun  operation  this  year,  with 
Senate  meetings  and  Cabinet 
meetings  producing  several  new 
ideas  and  programs.  The  Sen- 
ate voted  approval  of  the  SA's 
drive  to  pay  for  the  lounge,  laid 
standing  rules  for  its  own  mem- 
bers, and  okayed  the  Cabinet's 
plan  for  a  special  program  to  be 
played  over  the  cafeteria  inter- 
com. The  Cabinet  recently  set 
up  guidelines  for  student  be- 
haviour in  the  new  lounge. 

The  Senate  granted  the  of- 


ficial gn-ahead  on  plans  to  raise 
$7.1)00  this  year  to  pay  for  the 
student  lounge.  The  newly- 
elected  senators  voiced  their 
confidence  in  SA  President 
Futcher's  plan  during  their  first 
meeting.  "Our  goal,"  explained 
Futcher,"  is  to  pay  the  full  debt 
of  the  student  lounge  in  one 
year!" 

The  senators  discussed  meth- 
ods of  fund  raising  and  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  draw  up 
plans.  The  tentative  plan,  ac- 
cording to  Futcher,  is  to  divide 


Seniors  Organize 


the  campus  according  to  the 
senatorial  precincts,  with  each 
senator  a  division  leader.  Each 
precinct  would  be  rc>pf>n-iMe 
for  its  share  of  the  goal,  which 
would  be  determined  by  the 
number  of  students  in  it. 

Prizes  are  being  offered  as  an 
incentive  to  help  get  the  money 
raised,  noted  Futcher.  Each 
student's  share  of  the  57,000 
will  amount  to  ?7. 

The  Senate  also  approved  of 
a  plan  made  by  the  Cabinet  to 
playing  a  taped  program  of  mu- 
sic and  campus  news  during  the 
noon  hour  in  the  cafeteria.  "The 
program  will  tentatively  be 
aired  on  Tuesdays  and  Thurs- 
days to  begin  with,"  reports 
Colleen  Smith,  vice-president  of 
the  SA.  A  similar  project  is 
also  being  planned  to  help  close 
the  "village  communications 
gap,"  adds  Miss  Smith. 

The  Senate  voted  to  suspend 
members  who  accumulated  four 
absences  during  the  year,  or  had 
three  consecutive  absences. 
Names  of  those  present  and 
those  absent  will  be  posted  after 
each  meeting  in  the  Campus 
Accent. 

Guidelines  for  the  studen' 
lounge  were  set  by  the  SA  Cab 
inet  at  the  request  of  the  admin- 
istration, after  students 
plained  about  the  lack  of  gov- 
erning policy  in  the  lounge. 


mile  radius  of  Chattanooga. 
Groups  traveled  as  far  as  Knox- 
ville,  Atlanta,  Oak  Ridge,  and 
Gatlinburg. 

Cooperating  with  the  Col- 
legedale Seventh-day  Adventist 
Church,  which  set  a  personal 
goal  of  $21,000,  the  funds  raised 
by  the  students' helped  push  the 
church  over  the  top  on  its  goal. 
With  few  exceptions,  each 
group  which  went  out  came 
back  with  a  larger  sum  than  did 
the  group  which  went  to  the 
same  area  last  year.  The  At- 
lanta group,  which  consisted  of 
around  80  students,  came  back 
with  a  total  of  $2,262,  an  all- 
Considerable  success  was  en- 
joyed by  the  group  of  around  30 
students  which  solicited  the 
Lookout  Mountain  territory. 
They  also  reached  an  all-time 
high  of  over  $570  and  they  ac- 
complished   this    in    only    2*4 

The    group    which    went    to 

Ga  1 1  i  iiln  irg.  which  incidently 
covered  the  longest  route 
(around  400  miles),  came  back 
with  $112.

Commentary 


Why  Professional  Clubs? 

It  has  been  suggested  by  certain  individuals  on  this  campus 
that  SMC  would  be  a  happier,  healthier  place  ii  professional 
clubs  were  done  away  with.  These  individuals  claim  thai  club 
meetings  are  a  waste  of  time,  that  activities  of  these  clubs  are 
either  non-existent  or  worse,  and  that  they  receive  no  benefits 
or  inspiration  of  any  land  from  belonging  to  such  an  organization. 
One  argument  for  the  existence  of  professional  clubs  is  that 
they  can  contribute  to  the  morale  of  the  individual  and  the  school. 
On  a  campus  with  a  student  population  of  over  1300,  it  is  rather 
difficult  for  major  professors  to  become  personally  acquainted 
with  al]  the  students  majoring  in  their  fields,  and  it  is  almost 
equally  as  difficult  for  a  student  to  know  everyone  else  who  i 


y  be  the  most  important  funclion 


:-  difficult  without  professional 
clubs. 

Meeting  as  a  group  on  a  more  or  less  informal  basis,  such 
as  club  meetings  and  other  club  activities  provide,  is  basic  in 
creating  a  feeling  of  cooperation  and  togetherness  in  any  depart- 
ment. Such  a  feeling  of  "belonging"  can  do  a  great  deal  in  en- 
couraging some  individuals  to  remain  in  a  particular 
study  or  even  in  college.  This 
of  professional  clubs. 

Professional  clubs  can  also  play  a  vital  role  in  keeping  stu- 
dents informed  about  new  ideas,  discoveries,  or  advances  in 
their  held.  Often  we  tend  to  become  so  wrapped  up  in  our 
studies  that  we  forget  that  there  is  a  world  outside  where  things 
are  happening,  things  that  are  going  to  effect  us  in  many  ar 
of  our  lives  including  our  work.  A  wide-awake  club  keeps  up 
with  these  advances  and  thereby  aids  its  members  in  deciding 
on  what  specifically  they  are  going  to  do  with  their  education. 

Many  students  have  indicated  that  their  personal  plans  for 
their  future  life  work  have  been  influenced  by  activities  and  as- 
sociations in  professional  clubs.  We  believe  that  anybody  who 
has  never  derived  any  benefits  from  his  club  either  has  never 
attended  or  contributed  any  of  his  time  or  efforts  to  the  club 
or  else  has  a  very  narrow  outlook  on  life  that  cannot  be  broad- 
ened  by  interpersonal  relationships  with  others  of  similar  inter- 

However,  in  closing,  we  do  want  to  reiterate  that  clubs  can 
do  good  only  so  long  as  the  students  participate  in  them,  and 
helps  them  succeed.  When  a  professional  club  does  nothing  to 
help  its  members,  then  it  is  better  non-existent.

"Good  morning  Sabbath 
School  Members  .  .  ."  Funny, 
you  know,  how  things  stick  in 
the  mind.  Strange  that  little 
things  come  back  to  haunt  me. 
...  I  can  remember,  back  in 
years  gone  by,  going  to  worship 
on  a  Sabbath  morning  when  I 
actually  had  a  songbook  in  my 
hands.  I  was  young  then  and 
it  really  didn't  much  matter  if 
I  had  music  before  me  or  not, 
but  I  seem  to  be  rapidly  aging 
and  my  memory  is  no  longer 
sufficient  to  see  me  through  the 

And  as  the  fog  lifts  slightly 
from  my  memory  I  find  faint 
phantasmagorical  memories  of 
historical  moments  when  the 
pre-lesson  study  presentation 
actually  had  something  to  do 
with  the  subject  of  the  lesson 
for  the  week.  I  recall  fond, 
happy  moments  when  the 
teacher  had  time  to  do  more 
than  just  barely  get  into  the 
subject  matter  before  the  apolo- 
getic voice  of  the  superintendent 

teachers." 
There  were  even  times,  which 
I'd  forgotten, 


study  warmup  in  which  he 
would  present  the  main  point  or 
points  of  the  lesson.  This  re- 
lieved the  individual  class 
teacher  of  the  necessity  to  talk 
incessantly  for  the  first  5  min- 
utes of  his  class  to  give  those 
who  had  not  studied  their  les- 
sons enough  background  mate- 
rial to  discuss  intelligently. 

Those  were  delightful  days, 
but  they  seem  to  have  receded 
into  the  distant  past.  In  their 
place  have  appeared  three-  and 
four-person     special     presenta- 

and  three  special  music  per- 
formances, and  interminable 
speeches  upon  vaguely  related 
topics  that  run  on,  and  on 
and  on.  Then  the  teacher  finds 
that  the  prime  reason  for  the 
existence  of  the  Sabbath  School 
program  has  been  cut  to  10-20 
minutes.  Sabbath  School  is  for 
class  discussion  and  learning,  or 
so  it  used  to  be, 

I  can  remember  carrying 
from  Sabbath  School  to  the 
church  service  an  alert  mind, 
eager  to  listen  and,  again,  to 
learn.  But  the  fog  seems  to 
close  in  at  times,  and  those 
pleasant  memories  fade  into 
yesteryear. 

I  can  almost  remember  when

Teachers   May   Enjoy   It 


Life  for  students  at  SMC  is 
going  to  become  inc it, imii^Iv 
hazardous,  it  s 


than 


life  With  IBM  1130 


take  them. 
In  the  past,  we  have  been 
comforted  to  know  that  teachers 
assign  tests  one  right  after 
another;  they  (or  their  renders) 
spend  long  hours  and 
several  red  pens  over  stacks  of 
papers.  Our  efforts  in  laking  a 
only  partially  repaid 
by  hearing  the  teachers  com- 
plain. We  were  always  glad  to 
:uggest    that    they    give    fewer 

Now  even  that  student  satis- 
faction is  being  shattered.  We 
study  hours  fur  a  test,  empty 
brains  of  all  possible  knowl- 
dge  deciding  the  correct  an- 
only  to  have  a  computer 
all  the  class  members' 
11  a  matter  of  minutes — 
for  instance,  a  "Greenleaf"  200- 
point  multiple  answer  history 
test  for  100  students  in  about 
:  the  same  time 
.vriting  the  report  on  paper. 
Soon  students  will  be  receiv- 
g  the  first  college  statements 
done  by  computer.  It  keeps  com- 
plete files  of  each  student's 
statement  balance.  At  the  end 
of  each  month,  charges  are  fed 
into  the  computer  and  six  copies 
of  the  statements  are  written. 

A  record  of  the  income  from 
each  college  department  is  in- 
cluded at  the  end  of  this  pro- 
gram, or  report,  for  use  by  the 
anting  office.      The    whole 
:edure  requires   about  8-10 

Work  has  also  been  done  for 
the  office  of  records  and  admis- 
sting  with  registra- 
tion   and    in    compiling    class 
ime  lists. 

Although   the   computer   sci- 
ice  department  aids  the  col- 
lege administratively,  it  exists 
educational   oppor- 
tunity.    A  "hands  on"  policy 
has  been  established  for  the  stu- 
dents in  programming  and  data 
processing  classes.     The  student 
is  assigned  various  problems  in 
his  class  and  is  then  required  to 
Ive  the  problem  by  operating 
e  computer  and/or  data  pre- 
ssing machines. 
Under  the  direction  of  Robert 
McCurdy,  assistant  professor  of 
physics,     the     department    em- 
ploys nine  students.     Six  boys, 
ith  strong  math  backgrounds, 
work   in   programming   instruc- 
tions to  the  computer.    Some  of 
them     have     had     computer 
courses.  SMC  offers  four  courses 
',  all  of  which  fulfill  the  ap- 
plied arts  general  education  re- 
quirement. 

Fortran,  the  science  language 
(which  we  use  here  in  a  com- 
mercial setting),  was  offered 
here  last  school  year  as  a  three- 
course.  Three  girls  work 
ur  department  punching 
t  cards,  running  the 
•,  and  doing  work  which 
not  necessarily  require  a 
"miIi   background. 

impressive  aspect  of 
the  computer  is  production. 
Daily  worship  reports  are  pro- 
cessed each  evening  for  both 
dormitories.  A  report  is  written 
for  the  deans,  cards  punched  for 
students  absent  from  wor- 
ship, a  record  of  each  student's 
attendance  recorded  in  a  storage 
file  containing  each  student's 
record  for  the  semester,  and  ex- 
cuses made  for  past  absences  all 
program,    which    runs 


rate  of  80  lines  a  minute. 

about     10     minutes     for     each 

dormitory. 

The  computer  science  depart- 
ment has  been  steadily  growing 
for  almost  two  years.  The  first 
machine  obtained  was  an  026 
IBM  key  punch  in  the  spring  of 
1968.  New  equipment  has  been 
arriving  on  campus  ever  since. 

Among  this  new  equipment 
have  been  a  514  reproihn  in" 
punch  and  mark  sense  machine 
which  makes  it  possible  to  read 
pencil  marks  on  cards,  an  082 
card  sorter  which  will  sort  600 
cards  a  minute,  a  548  alphabetic 
interpreter  which  reads  holes  in 
a  computer  card  and  writes  on 
the  card  what  the  holes  mean, 
two  more  key  punch  machines 


SOUTHERN  ACCENT 

and  a  univac  1710  combination 
key  punch,  interpreter,  and 
verifyer  (which  makes  it  possi- 
ble to  "proof-read"  data  before 
placing  it  in  the  computer). 

McKee  Bakery  has  loaned 
(the  only  machine  not  on  lease) 
a  burster  which  separates  the 
con  tin  nous  forms  which  are 
printed  by  the  computer. 

The  computer,  an  IBM  1130, 
has  been  running  since  Sept.  10, 
1969.  It  consists  of  a  central 
processing  unit  with  8000  stor- 
age spaces,  and  a  disk  drive 
which  can  handle  a  disk  boast- 
ing  512,000  additional   storage 

There  is  a  card  reader-punch 
combination  unit  which  reads 
cards  at  the  rate  of  160  cards  a 
minute  and  a  line  printer  that 
prints  a  whole  line  at  one  time 
at  the  rate  of  80  lines  per  min- 

When  the  present  library 
building  is  vacated  and  the  new 
one  functioning,  the  computer 
science  department  will  occupy 
space  now  taken  by  the  first 
floor  of  "stacks"  in  the  old  build- 
ing. 

Teachers  are  not  going  to  gel 
out  of  grading  tests  completely. 
however.  The  computer  can 
only  grade  objective  tests — 
multiple  choice,  true/false,  etc. 
The  administration  will  not  en- 
courage all  teacher?,  to  give  these 
types  of  tests.  Probably  within 
the  next  two  years,  about  half 
of  the  tests  given  will  be  graded 
by  computer. 


Ingathering.  The  Other  Side 


By  Mike 

Mention  the  word  "Ingather- 
ing" and  you'll  probably  get 
many  varied  reactions.  When 
Ingathering  time  rolls  around, 
some  think  of  the  opportunity 
it  brings  to  tell  others  of  the 
world-wide  work  of  the  church, 
and  others  think  of  the  valuable 
help  which  will  be  given  to  the 
world's  disaster-stricken  and  im- 
poverished peoples. 

Educators  may  think  of  the 
much-needed  schools  that  will 
be  built:  mission  doctors  may 
think  of  the  expensive  but  nec- 
essary equipment  which  they 
may  now  receive;  and  youth 
leaders  may  think  of  the  many 
neglected  children  who  may 
now  be  sent  to  summer  camp. 

Whatever  one's  thoughts  on 
Ingathering  may  be,  it  cannot 
be  denied  that  Ingathering 
makes  a  significant  contribution 
to  the  church's  work  of  assisting 
others.  Yet,  is  that  all  it  does? 
What  does  Ingathering  do  for 
you,  the  church  member? 

After  last  week's  Field  Day, 
the  most  successful  in  SMC's 
history,  there  are  at  least  three 
SMC  students  who  can  claim 
1 1  igai  I  iriing  really  did  some- 
thing for  them. 

How  would  you  feel  if  you 
were  given  a  $100  check?  Un- 
fortunately, most  of  us  don't 
know  how  we  would  feel  be- 
cause it  has  never  happened. 
But  it  did  happen  to  Marc  Gen- 
ton,  senior  theology  major  from 
Bradenton,  Fla.,  and  Dottie 
Peterson,  sophomore  elemen- 
tary education  major  from  Mi- 
ami, while  they  were  soliciting 
on  Lookout  Mountain.  Perhaps 
the  most  interesting  thing  about 
their  experience  is  what  hap- 
pened after  they  received  this 
unusual  donation. 

What  exactly  would  you  say 
to  the  next  person  you  solicited 
after  being  given  such  a  dona- 
tion? Well,  Marc  apparently 
spoke  the  right  words  as  his 
story  reveals:  "Soliciting  the 
next  home."  Marc  relates,  "We 
were  met  at  the  door  by  a  gentle- 
man who,  after  listening  to  our 
canvass,  asked  what  the  usual 
donation  is. 


Rowed  Returns;  Takes  Library  Staff  Post 


By  Bob  Ecgenbehger 

Miss  Lois  Rowell  fills  a  new 

position    at   the    SMC    library, 

that  of  head  periodical  librarian. 
Her  responsibility  is  to  make  ac- 
cessible to  library  users  almost 
600  periodicals,  including  popu- 
lar magazines,  newspapers  and 
all  Seventh-day  Adventist  peri- 
odicals. She  assists  teachers  in 
ordering  periodicals  to  represent 
the  major  fields  of  the  curric- 

Ordering,  receiving,  and  bind- 
ing    periodicals     come     under 

Miss  Rowell's  supervision.  She 
is  in  charge  of  keeping  the  peri- 
odical collection  complete  and 
ordering  missing  back  issues,  ac- 


cording to  Charles  Davis,  associ- 
ate professor  of  librarian  ship 
The  issues  are  kept  available  for 
use,  either  current  or  bound.  He 
added  that  in  a  college  library, 
|iei  loihrals  are  important  for  re- 
search work. 

Miss  Rowell  is  back  at  SMC 
after  a  year's  leave  of  absence 
to  get  her  master's  degree  in 
Science  of  Librarianship  at 
Western  Michigan  University. 
She  was  awarded  a  $2200  fel- 
lowship plus  tuition  and  fees  by 
the  U.S.  Office  of  Education  for 
her  study. 


From  1966  to  1968  she  taught 
piano  and  organ  in  the  music 
department  of  SMC.  She  com- 
pleted undergraduate  work  at 
Pacific  Union  College  and  re- 
ceived the  master's  degree  in 
music  at  the  University  of 
Southern  California. 

When  asked  about  the  new 
library,  Miss  Rowell  commented 
on  the  larger  area  for  use  of 
periodicals,  both  current  and 
bound  issues.  She  added  that 
there  will  be  more  space  and 
equipment  in  the  new  building. 


$100  checV  solicited  by  Dottie  ^& 
Peterson  and  Marc  Genton  is  *^ 
proudly  displayed. 

"My  reply,"  continued  Gen- 
ton, "was  that  his  neighbor 
gave  $100  and  a  lady  down  the 
street  gave  $5.  Usually,  con- 
tributions range  anywhere  in- 
between." 

Somewhat  placing  himself  on 
the  spot,  this  gentleman  chose 
the  "in-between"  sum  of  $25 
and  gave  Marc  and  Dottie  a 
donation  for  that  amount. 

It  is  certain  that  we  all  can- 
But,  certainly  this  experience 
shows  what  could  happen  if  you 
ever  get  someone  to  give  you  a 
$100  donation.  Never  happen? 
Check  with  Marc  Genton  and 
Dottie  Peterson.  They  never  ex- 
pected it  to  happen  either. 

A  quite  different  experience 
happened  to  yet  another  SMC 
student.  Merrie  Zumstein,  jun- 
ior foods  and  nutrition  major 
from  Madison,  Tenn.,  hardly 
expected  what  was  going  to  hap- 
pen as  she  approached  the 
building  housing  the  radio  sta- 
tion, WGUN-AM  in  Atlanta. 

Entering  the  building,  she  was 
met  by  Billy  Cooper,  a  station 
disc  jockey.  She  mentioned 
what  she  was  doing  and  asked 
him  if  he  would  like  to  make  a 
contribution.  Becoming  inter- 
ested in  what  she  had  said, 
Cooper  asked  Merrie  if  she 
would  like  to  explain  the  In- 
gathering project  over  the  radio 
since  he  was  going  on  the  air 
shortly.  Somewhat  hesitant  and 
surprised,  Merrie  consented. 

While  on  the  air,  Cooper  not 
only  asked  Merrie  questions 
concerning  the  Ingathering  pro- 
ject, but  he  also  questioned 
about  SDA  doctrines  and  health 
habits.  "He  seemed  to  know 
quite  a  bit  about  our  church's 
beliefs  even  to  the  point  of  our 
vegetarian  diets,"  said  Merrie. 

As  a  result  of  their  very  un- 
usual experiences,  both  Marc 
and  Merrie  have  memorable,  if 
not  even  pleasant,  events  to  re-  | 
call  and  relate  concerning  last 
week's  Field  Day.  They,  like 
most  of  the  500  other  students 
who  actively  participated  in  the 
Field  Day,  found  the  other  side 
of  Ingathering — the  real  satis- 
faction found  in  achieving  a 
worthwhile  goal. 


Roof  Organizes  Memories', 
Asks  Students  for  Photos 


Plans  for  this  year's  Southern 
Memories  are  beginning  to 
evolve.  Editor  Marjorie  Roof 
met  with  her  staff  recently 
to  lay  the  ground  work.  Staff 
responsibility,  layout  and  gen- 
eral procedures  were  discussed 
with  Gary  Benmark,  area  rep- 
resentative for  Henington  Pub- 
lishing Co.,  who  will  print  the 
Memories  this  year. 

Miss  Roof  asks  students  who 


may  have  pictures  that  could  be 
used  in  the  Memories  to  bring 
them  to  her  office  or  give  them 
to  the  staff  photographer. 
Charles  Mills.  Not  all  campus 
activities  are  refracted  by  the 
lens  of  the  photographer's  cam- 
e  r  a  —  especially  those  of 
Thatcher  Hall,  she  notes. 

The  business  manager  is  Ed- 
die Neal,  assistant  editor  is  Bob- 
bie Piatt,  and  Miss  Carolyn 
Luce  is  the  advisor.

will  act  as  a  'pop-off  valve'  for 
academic  pressures  and  also  al- 
low the  students  to  catch  up

by  class  absence." 

The  "free  day"  idea  came  up 
when  those  present  discussed 
the  lack  of  student  interest  in  the 
fall  SA  picnic.  Attendance  this 
year  was  about  300,  which  is 
less  than  one-fourlh  of  the  en-

Intercom  Really  Works 


m 


a 


Intercom  works!  Five  students  were  surprised  last  week  at 
the  frankness  and  completeness  of  the  answers  that  the  admin- 
istration had  for  the  student's  questions.  Nothing  seemed  taboo 
to  discuss.  The  cooperation  of  the  administration  was,  not  only 
surprising,  but  also  welcomed.  Rapport  between  students  and 
school  reached  new  highs. 

Yet,  for  all  the  good  that  Intercom  did,  it  was  only  a  small 
bit  of  what  could  be  accomplished  in  Intercom  were  it  attended 
like  it  should  be.  Neither  students  nor  administration  can  boast 
of  the  fact  that  only  II  were  present,  and  that  the  school  repre- 
sentatives outnumbered  the  students.  Had  more  interested  stu- 
dents attended,  perhaps  even  more  could  have  been  discussed, 
and  more  discovered  about  what  the  administration  does  and 
thinks. 

Are  students  doing  a  disservice  to  themselves  by  staying 
away  from  such  meetings?  The  ACCENT  thinks  so.  The  admin- 
istration is  not  set  in  their  ways,  as  some  would  suppose.  Staff 
members  are  constantly  trying  to  find  new  approaches  to  make 
life  easier  or  more  challenging  to  the  student.  But,  they  don't 
always  know  what  the  student  consensus  is  on  new  plans,  and 
they  would  like  to  know. 

Want  to  help  plan  the  school's  policy  for  the  next  few  years? 
Want  to  let  the  administration  know  what's  bothering  you?  Want 
to  find  out  why  what's  being  done  is  being  done?  Come  to  the 
next  Intercom,  and  be  a  truly  informed  student.

Village  Communitation$~-A  Solution 

Is  there  o  communication  gap  between  village  students  and 
the  test  ol  the  college?  We  think  so.  Village  students  frequently 
minn  out  on  activities  merely  because  they  are  not  informed  about 
them.  Commuting  students  ate  seldom  told  of  last-minute  changes 
in  the  time  and  place  of  club  meetings  and  ball  games.  One 
student,  a  member  of  a  soliball  team  and  resident  of  Chattanooga, 
said.  "I  drove  all  the  way  out  here  one  evening  only  to  find  that 
the  game  had  been  cancelled." 

Village  students  miss  announcements  that  are  made  in  dorm 
worships  and  posted  on  dormitory  bulletin  boards.  Village  stu- 
dents don't  know  what  goes  on  in  residence  hall  clubs.  Are  the 
men's  and  women's  clubs  only  for  residence  hall  students?  If  so, 
why  can't  village  students  form  their  own  club,  for  presently  they 
are  not  informed  of  the  meetings  of  the  existing  clubs. 

Village  students  are  not  told  when  recreation  facilities  are 
available.  One  student  stated,  "I  enjoy  playing  tennis  and  other 
sports,  but  I  don't  know  when  the  playing  courts  are  available." 
Are  these  facilities  for  boarding  students  only?  Most  village  stu- 
dents experience  a  lack  of  belonging  to  the  school  family. 

What  can  be  done  about  this  communication  gap?  Would 
it  be  feasible  for  village  students  to  be  invited  to  join  the  residence 
hall  clubs?  Why  not?  We  suggest  that  a  central  place  be  es- 
tablished, perhaps  in  Lynn  Wood  Hall,  for  posting  announcements 
that  village  students  miss  in  dorm  worships  and  on  dorm  bulletin 
boards.

Draft,  How  to  be  1-0' 


Perhaps  the  one  resolution  passed  at  the  General  Confer- 
ence's Fall  Council  last  month  that  most  interest  students  at 
SMC  is  the  resolution  regarding  the  1-0  draft  classification. 

The  church  has  asked  its  members  to  support  those  young 
men  who  decide  that  the  l-O  classification  is  what  they  desire. 
The  steps  that  are  taken  when  one  asks  for  help  in  obtaining  an 
conscientious  objector  classification  are  as  follows:  (I)  Ask  the 
young  man  to  first  consider  the  historic  teaching  of  the  church  on 
noncombatancy,  which  haa  been  to  favor  the  1-AO  draft  classi- 
fication. (2)  When  a  consistent  religious  experience  is  established, 
pastoral  support,  guidance,  and  counsel  be  provided. 

In  the  past,  the  ACCENT  has  lobbied  for  this  change  in  d<

nomi national  feeling  towards  the  1-0  classification.     It 
students  pressure  on  all  the  campuses,  and  personal  inside  work 
by  some  of  the  General  Conference  officers,  that  this  new  resolu- 
tion has  come  into  being. 

But  this  resolution  is  not  a  ready  solution  to  the  draftee's 
problems.  To  get  the  support  that  the  GC  has  voted,  the  student 
must  prove  to  his  counselors  that  he  is  worthy  of  such  support. 
When  he  applies  for  this  classification,  many  of  his  acqucrin  lances 
are  asked  about  his  church  membership  and  participation  in 
services,  his  standards  of  conduct,  and  previous  expressions  of 
belief  supporting  his  request  of  1-0  classification. 

So,  if  you  really  want  that  l-O  draft  status,  and  you  are 
expecting  support  from  your  teachers,  pastors  and  friends  in 
helping  you  get  that  classification,  make  sure  you  are  living  the

Why  Guidelines? 

Members  ol  Ihe  ACCENT  staff  recently  relumed  from  a  tour- 
day  workshop  with  Ihe  editors  and  stab"  ol  Ihe  olher  denomina- 
tional college  newspapers.  Meetings  and  discussion  ranged  from 
new  techniques  ol  newspaper  design,  layout,  and  makeup  lo 
questions  on  the  policies  ol  the  various  papers. 

During  Ihe  workshop,  Ihose  present  were  presented  with  a 
set  ol  guidelines  lor  Ihe  college  papers.    These  guidelines  were 
•traded  originally  by  Ihe  editors  last  spring,  some  of  whom  were

SOUTHERN   ACCENT 


SMC   Students   Sa 


Volante-From  California  to  Hawaii  and  Bach 


By  Cheryl  Jetter 
Few  students  can  boast  of 
having  a  swimming  pool  in  their 
backyards,  but  fewer  yet  can 
claim  to  have  a  sailboat  in  their 
pool.  Vicki  Fults,  a  sophomore 
from  suburban  Los  Angeles, 
could  have  told  you  a  story  al- 
most like  that  last  summer. 

Her  father  has  an  unusual 
hobby;  he  builds  sailboats.  That 
in  itself  is  not  so  unusual,  except 
that  the  last  one  he  built  was 
40'  by  28'  and  sailed  from  Cali- 
fornia lo  Hawaii  and  back. 

Fults  live  in  an  inconvenient 
location  for  boat  construction. 
Niv.*rt]i<-l':'ss.  fnr  two  years  Ihev 
watched  building  materials  be- 
come a  sailboat  on  a  platform 
over  the  swimming  pool  in  their 
backyard.  A  hired  crane,  flat- 
bed truck,  and  a  specially  de- 
signed route  were  required  to 
transfer  the  completed  master- 
piece to  the  Los  Angeles  beach 
where  it  was  christened  "Vol- 

Two  weeks  later,  after  sev- 
eral practice  runs,  the  "Vol- 
ante" left  Los  Angeles  for  Ha- 
waii. On  board  were  the  Fults 
f.imily  and  several  cousins  and 
friends. 

"When  the  time  came,  we 
could  hardly  believe  it!"  com- 
ments Vicki.  "Even  getting  on 
the  boat  we  kept  asking,  'Is  this 
for  real?' " 

Before  long,  they  discovered 
that  it  was  real.  The  first  two 
days  of  sailing  were  a  constant 
bout  with  rough  weather,  10-20 
foot  waves,  and  seasickness. 

"We  couldn't  keep  food  down. 
Standing  on  deck  was  like  stand- 
ing in  a  room  with  a  high  wall 
of  undulating  water.  Straight 
up  was  a  ceiling  of  gray  sky." 

Two  days  of  storm  subsided 
into  a  week  of  cold,  wind,  and 


lonely  scene  to  look  upon — -the 
"Volant*'."  so  huge  and  impos- 
ing in  the  streets  of  Los  An- 
geles, now  no  more  than  a  per- 
iod on  a  page  of  black  water. 
The  elements  saw  it  and  smiled 
a  smile  of  bright  sunshine  and 
warm  winds  that  lasted  the  re- 
mainder of  their  trip  to  Hawaii. 

Ship  life  quickly  became  rou- 
tine. The  crew  was  divided  in- 
to five  pairs,  each  pair  with  its 
specific   hours  of  deck  watch. 

"We  had  to  be  really  careful 
when  learning  to  steer.  It  was 
so  easy  to  get  off  course.  Even 
one  degree  would  send  us  60 
miles   past  our  destination." 

Water  was  rationed:  one-half 
cup  for  teeth-brushing,  and  one- 
half  cup  for  face-washing  per 
day.  Baths?  Oh,  well,  Hawaii 
wasn't  that  far  away. 

Vicki's  mother  was  the  chief 
cook.  One  day,  attempting  to 
economize,  she  made  mashed 
potatoes  adding  carefully  boiled 
salt  water.  "I  tried  a  new 
thing,"  she  explained.     One  bite 


lonely.  We  had  each  other,  and 
the  ham  radio.  After  supper 
every  night,  everyone  gathered 
around  the  radio,  and  made 
contact  with  friends  on  shore. 
Even  on  watch  in  the  middle  of 
the  night,  we  weren't  alone,  the 
stars  were  so  close  that  they  be- 
came our  companions,  and  God 
seemed  so  very  close." 

The  nights  weren't  always 
clear  and  beautiful.  Sometimes 
rough  weather  would  turn  the 
sea  into  a  strong  opponent. 
Steering  became  a  wrestling 
match  with  the  wheel,  and 
nothing  could  be  seen  except 
spatters  of  water  against  the 
windshield. 

"Then  we  thought  about  get- 
ting there — to  Hawaii.  We  had 
been  passing  islands  here  and 
there,  but  they  looked  so  deso- 
late that  we  never  cared  to  stop.

when  we  got  close  enough,  the 
air  smelled  like  flowers  and 
pineapple.     I'll  never  forget  it." 

Louis  Sommerville,  a  fresh- 
man from  Candler,  N.C.,  sailed 
with  his  uncle  and  uncle's  fam- 
ily on  the  "Volante." 

On  the  return  trip  the  "  Vol- 
ante" got  a  bad  start  out  of 
Hawaii,  meeting  with  a  power- 
ful storm  almost  immediately. 
Two  hundred  miles  from  the 
islands,  the  crew  decided  lo 
return  for  repairs.  While  back 
in  Hawaii,  Vicki  and  her  mother 
and  two  sisters  decided  to  return 
to  Los  Angeles  via  plane.  Re- 
pairs were  extensive,  and  seven 
days  passed  before  the  "Vol- 
ante" set  out  again  with  its 
slightly  altered  crew. 

This  time  the  crew  was  di- 
vided into  three  pairs,  each  pair 
with  two  hours  on  watch  and 
four  hours  off.  Free  time  was 
spent  reading,  sleeping,  and 
eating. 

"Sleep  was  split  up  pretty 
bad.'*  says  Louis.  "Besides  the 
watch  duty,  occasionally  an  'All 
hands  on  deck'  call  interfered, 
so  that  it  seemed  we  were  al- 
ways tired." 

The  ship's  cook  had  flown 
back  to  Los  Angeles,  and  canned 
and  starchy  foods  became  the 
diet.  The  oranges  were  gone  in 
10  to  12  days. 

"We  craved  ice  cream.  Three 
or  four  ships  passed  us  and  we 
wanted  them  to  stop  just  for 
that  simple  reason — ice  cream." 

One  night  the  watch  spotted 
some  ships  on  the  horizon;  ap- 
parently the  "Volante"  had 
entered  a  shipping  lane.  Soon 
a  giant  tanker  was  sighted  nil 
starboard,  heading  straight  for 
the  sailboat. 

Usually,  sailboats  have  the 
right-of-way  in  such  circum- 
stances, but  since  a  tanker  re- 
quires some  3,000  yards  to  alter 
its  course  and  several  miles  to 
come  to  a  stop,  this  lime  it  was 
the    "Volante"   to    steer 


aside.  Our  skipper  was  awak- 
ened, the  engine  started,  and 
fewer  than  150  yards  from  the 
tanker  (by  now  flashing  its 
spreader  lights),  the  "Volante" 
cleared  out  of  the  collision 
course.  _ 

Although  the  "Volante"  re-  \^J  | 
quired  only  two  weeks  to  reach 
Hawaii,  a  record  for  its  type  of 
craft,  it  was  soon  apparent  that 
the  return  voyage  would  take 
longer.  She  was  plagued  with 
calms,  and  with  the  calms  usu- 
ally came  a  feeling  of  mid-ocean 
isolation  and  depression. 

"It  was  lonely — just  ocean, 
sky,  water,  and  sun.  Without 
the  wind,  the  engine  was  still 
moving  us,  but  there  was  no  ac- 
companying feeling  of  progress 


,   thai 


Without  the  wind,  California 
seemed  very  far  away,  but  when 
the  wind  started  up,  almost 
simultaneously  a  song  would 
too,  and  some  laughter. 

"We  did  have  fun.  laughing 


vay  i 


;  the  ( 


night,  while  two  of  us  were  on 
watch,  the  wind  quit.  Sails  were 
flapping,  so  we  lowered  them, 
put  on  the  running  lights,  and 
started  to  bed.  Reaching  our 
bunks,  spontaneously  we  began 
to  laugh,  Everyone  else  in  the 
room  woke  up.  and  we  all  must 
have  laughed  for  20  minutes. 
Here  we  were,  1,000  miles  from 
the  California  coast  in  a  tiny 
sailboat  on  a  huge  ocean,  and 
we    had    just    taken    the    sails 

The  days  were  slowly  con- 
sumed. Twenty-three  days 
from  Hawaii,  and  only  300 
miles  from  her  destination,  the 
"Volante"  ran  into  a  heavy 
storm.  Forty-foot  waves  and  40 
MPH  winds  carried  her  south 
of  San  Diego,  making  it  neces- 
sary, when  the  storm  finally 
ceased  to  take  a  long,  hard,  zig- 
zag course  up  the  coast  against 
the  wind.  Twenty-six  days  out 
of  Hawaii,  the  "Volante"  saw 
port  again.

Lack  of  Business 
Closes  Music  House 


,.H  I  e--ible 


By  Lynda  Hughes 
After   eight   years   of   not-so- 
prosperous  sales,  SMC's  College 
Music  House  will   finally  close 
doors.  Administrative  Coun- 
action   has   told  the  lagging 
siness,    located    in    a    white 
structure    north    of    the    music 
building,    to   terminate   on   De- 
cember 31,  1969. 
When  a  store  closes,  the  ques- 
>n     is     asked,     "What    hap- 
pened?"    The  answers  to  that 
question  are  always  only  specu- 
is.     Is  the  problem  ineffec- 
j     advertising?     unpopular 
stock?  or  no  demand? 


Since  the  Music  House  was 
beeun  eight  years  ago  by  Mor- 
ris Taylor,  head  of  SMC's  music 
department  at  that  time,  no  all- 
out  advertising  or  informing 
campaign  has  been  conducted. 
Obscurely  located  at  the  end  of 
the  college  campus,  the  business 
is  not  even  known  of  by  many 
of  the  school's  juniors  and  sen- 
iors other  than  the  music  ma- 

Because  the  store  has  been 
operated  through  SMC's  music 
department,     music    students 


.jvailnble  could  be  classified  as 
"dead  stock,"  the  more  popular 
music  having  already  been  sold. 

A  demand  for  stock  is  a 
necessary  prerequisite  for  any 
successful  business.  Most  of  the 
demand,  says  Mrs.  Lovejoy,  has 
been  from  nearby  church  di- 
rectors, music  instructors,  and 
the  Chattanooga  Boys'  Choir. 

Mrs.  Lovejoy  believes  that 
the  business  has  potential  for 
someone  willing  to  invest.  Its 
success  with  non-SMC  patrons 
could  be  duplicated  here  in  Col- 
legedale,  she  feels,  if  the 
relocated  i: 

Where  is  that  place?  Charles 
Fleming,  SMC's  general  man- 
ager, does  not  feel  that  the  place 
is  in  the  College  Plaza  shopping 
center.  Merchandise  would  pos- 
sibly duplicate  that  of  the 
Southern  Mercantile  and  Geor- 
gia-Cumberland Book  and  Bible 
House,  he  says. 

The  store's  scheduled  close  is 
in  December  and  according  to 
Fleming,  "no  room  will  be 
available  in  the  shopping  center 
until  next  summer  when  the 
new  supermarket  is  built." 

In  addition,  Fleming  feels 
that  Collegedale's  market  po- 
tential for  music  does  not  indi- 
cate sufficient  support  for  a  local 
specialized  store.

Church  Closes  Door  on  'Gate' 


By  Mike  Foxworth 

The  Gate — often  referred  to 
in  some  quarters  as  "Chatta- 
nooga's Gate  to  Christianity" — 
may  now  find  it  difficult  to  buy 
oil  for  its  hinges. 

In  action  taken  by  the  Col- 
legedale  Church  Board  on  Mon- 
day, Nov.  10,  it  was  voted  to 
discontinue  support  of  the  Gate 
at  the  end  of  December,  reports 
Elder  John  Loor,  church  pastor. 

"The  board's  action  was  not 
unexpected,"  reports  Wayne 
Eastep  and  Bob  Hunter,  co- 
managers  of  the  Gate.  "Last 
July,  the  board  set  down  various 
guidelines  for  the  Gate  to  follow 
and  for  reasons  partially  beyond 
our  control,  we  have  not  been 
able  to  meet  all  of  their  require- 
ments at  this  date,"  says  Eastep. 

Commenting  on  the  board's 
decision,  Elder  Loor  notes  that

"but  the  board  felt  it 
sary  to  withdraw  Us  support  be- 
cause the  Gate  was  still  not  as 
representative  of  the  church  as 
it  should  be." 

"I'm  sorry  that  we  have  lost 
the  church's  support,"  says 
Eastep.  "We,  the  Gate  staff, 
prefer  working  through  the  or- 
ganization," he  adds. 

"One  benefit  of  the  board's 
action,"  says  Eastep,  "is  that 
some  church  members  will  no 
longer  have  to  feel  that  the  Gate 
is  misrepresenting  them,  al- 
though we  never  intended  to 
misrepresent  the  church.  We 
have  simply  tried  to  communi- 
cate with  those  whom  the 
church  has  not  communicated 
with  in  the  past." 

Eastep  lists  three  basic  rea- 
sons why  the  Gate  operates: 

"The  primary  reason  is  to 
share    Christ    and    the    Advent 


i  he  second  purpose  is  to 
help  Adventist  youth  in  wit- 
nessing. 

"The  third  is  to  relate  the 
Church  to  the  social  ills  of  the 

According  to  Eastep  and 
Hunter,  both  of  whom  have 
been  actively  involved  with  the 
Gate  since  its  opening  last 
March,  the  board's  decision  was 
not  one  directed  against  the 
Gate's  purposes,  but  instead  was 
one  directed  against  the  methods 
employed  by  the  Gate. 

"Particularly,  the  board 
seemed  disenchanted  with  the 
weekly  Saturday  night  pro- 
gram," says  Eastep. 

"The  board  had  some  time 
ago  informed  us  that  our  pro- 
gram should  be  expanded  to  in- 
clude activities  other  than  the 
Saturday  night  program,"  re- 
ports Eastep. 

"And  this  was  done,"  he  con- 


tinues.     "We  began   a  Friday 

night  meditations  program,  in- 
ductive Bible  study  groups,  a 
Saturday  afternoon  Bible  story 
hour  for  children  living  in  the 
area  of  the  Gate,  and  just  this 
week  the  SMC  chapter  of  the 
American  Temperance  Society 
began  a  Five-Day  Plan  at  the 
Gate." 

"Apparently,"  says  Eastep, 
"the  Saturday  night  programs 
were  the  chief  and  ultimate 
factors  which  brought  about  the 
board's  decision." 

What  happens  at  the  Gate  on 
Saturday  night?  Eastep  de- 
scribes the  program  and  selling 
as  follows: 

"The  Gate's  atmosphere  is 
similar  to  a  'coffee  house.'  There 
is  a  stage  in  the  middle  of  the 
room  around  which  are  situated 
large  electric  wire  spools  which 
are  used  as  tables.  Red  and 
white  tablecloths  and  candles  as- 
sist in  creating  a  conversational 
atmosphere. 


"On  one  wall  there  is  an  op 
art  concept  of  the  four  beasts  of 
Daniel  seven.  The  opposite  wall 
is  paneled  with  weathered  grey 
planks.  A  rotating  display  of 
local  art  contributes  to  the  color 
of  the  Gate. 

"The  program  takes  place 
between  8  and  12  p.m.  At  30 
minute  intervals  a  10  minute 
program  begins  which  usually 
consists  of  folk  music,  poetry,  a 
discussion  period,  and  occasion- 
ally a  movie  such  as  The  Para- 
ble or  Homo  Homini. 

"The  main  thrust  of  the  Sat- 
urday night  program  lakes  place 
around  the  14  tables  at  which 
up  to  90  people  may  be  seated. 
Seated  with  the  Gate's  visitors 
around  the  tables  is  a  staff  of 
between  20  and  30  Seventh-day 
Adventist  youth  who  engage  in 
conversation  with  the  non- 
SDA's.

Freshman  Don  Pate  Wins 
SMC  Temperance  Orations 

Don  Pate,  freshman  theology 
major  from  Portland,  Ore.,  re- 
ceived the  first  place  award  in 
the  annual  temperance  oration 
contest  for  his  oration,  "His 
Name  Also  Was  Don." 

Pate's  story  was  that  of  a 
close  friend  with  whom  he 
worked  one  summer  during 
high  school. 

When  Pate  asked  his  anemic 
partner  why  he  worked,  the 
man  pulled  his  shirt  sleeve  up 
slowly  displaying  his  arm  which 
'tore  the  scars  of  a  heroin 
mainliner"  and  said,  "Man, 
've  got  to  work  to  pay  for  my 
habit." 

Shortly  thereafter  Pate's 
friend  told  him  he  was  quitting 
i.  "I'm  going  to  quit  the 
stuff— it's  killing  me  and  I  can 
feel  it." 


"Never  before  have  I  seen  a 
nan  look  so  desperate,"  said 
'ate,  "but  then  I've  never  before 
een  a  man  that's  dying." 

Pate,  in  winning  the  contest, 
ssured  himself  an  opportunity

Are  There  Demons  in  Talge? 


What  perverse  demon  stalked  the  noisy  halls  of  Talge  a 
lew  nights  not  so  long  ago?  Was  it  the  spirit  of  contumely, 
pusillanimity,  or  procrastination?  Who  knows?  Perhaps,  like  the 
classic  tempter,  this  imp  changed  his  form  to  suit  his  subject. 

Whoever  he  was,  however  he  worked,  he  was  successful 
enough  that  the  repurcussions  were  almost  immediately  felt  in 
Thatcher,  although  that  stronghold  of  feminity  is  removed  by  sev- 
eral hundred  feet  from  the  sight  of  his  labors. 

Hopefully  it  WAS  some  outside  force  and  not  something  in- 
nate in  the  hearts  of  certain  young  men  that  caused  them  to  act 
so  rudely  to  the  young  ladies  who,  not  without  great  fear  and 
trembling,  sent  them  invitations  to  the  Women's  Reception,  Nov. 
23, 

It  is  unfortunate  enough  that  a  number  of  the  gentlemen  of 
Talge  felt  themselves  of  such  superior  quality  that,  although  they 
received  as  many  as  four  invitations,  they  could  not  find  one 
worthy  of  their  acceptance. 

It  is  even  more  unfortunate  that  some  of  these  same  "gentle- 
men" did  not  even  have  enough  common  courtesy  to  notify  the 
young  ladies  of  their  refusals.  Instead,  they  merely  returned  the 
accept-reject  cards  to  the  desk  at  Thatcher  and  the  girls  had  to 
check  there  to  find  their  answers. 

Worst  of  all,  some  of  these  refusals  (and  some  acceptances 
also)  were  turned  in  as  many  as  four  days  after  the 


,  such  cases  were  not  the  general  thing.  Yet  they 
i  enough  to  make  one  wonder  if  refinement,  cour- 
tesy, and  concern  for  the  feelings  of  others  are  becoming  passe 
on  the  campus  of  SMC.

Pfc.  Ronald  L.  Delong  was  a  medic.  His  duty  was  to  render 
aid  and  comfort  to  men  in  need.  He  was  a  part  of  an  American 
force  sent  to  distant  Vietnam  to  save  a  people  and  their  land 
from  vicious  Communist  conquest. 

In  an  attack  by  Communist  forces  on  an  airfield,  Pfc.  Delong 
has  lost  his  life. 

While  most  of  us  pursue  our  "business  as  usual,"  Pfc.  Delong

,^j.    Focutty-Studem  Communications  Improved 

One  greater  and  continuing  step  has  been  made  at  SMC 
towards  better  and  more  effective  communication  between  stu- 
dents and  administrators. 

Not  contented  to  settle  with  Intercom  or  the  monthly  press 
conferences,  the  college  board  and  administration  has  selected 
twenty-five  students  to  serve  on  eight  separate  faculty  standing

vited to  attend  faculty  committees  at  SMC  for  over  20  years.  For 
this  reason  we  recognize  the  administration's  recent  appointments 
as  being  an  enlargement  of  an  existing  program,  but  we  hope 
that  this  enlargement  will  bring  about  an  equal  growth  in  under- 
standing between  students  and  faculty.

Formal  discussions,  which  take

SMC  professors  and  students.

ing to  Christian  living." 

Commenting  on  the  Saturday 
night  program  at  the  Gate  and 
it-  relationship  In  the  hoard'-  de- 
rision. Hunter  -ay-  "Those  who 
felt  the  church  should  drop  sup- 
port of  the  Gate  probably  ar- 
rived at  their  conclusions  be- 
cause of  several  factors: 

"First,  the  overall  atmosphere 
was  not  Christian  because  of  the 
low  lights;  smoke;  the  appear- 
ance of  those  being  ministered 
to;  and  some  of  the  folk  music 
not  meeting  Christian  standards. 

"Second,  the  possible  ill-ef- 
fects of  non-Adventists  upon  the 
Adventists  was  too  great  a  risk. 

"Third,  the  public  image  of 
the  Gate  is  not  desirable  to  the 
church." 

"In  summary,"  says  Hunter, 
"I  believe  that  the  decision 
reached  by  those  members  of 
the  board  who  felt  that  support 
should  be  withdrawn  was  based 
from  an  observer's  viewpoint 
and  many  adults  and  students 
who  had  also  once  felt  ihe  same 
way  changed  their  opinions 
when  they  became  involved  m 
witnessing." 

"In  considering  the  board's 
decKmn."  says  Eastep,  "we  do 
not  anticipate  that  the  (, ale  will 
close.  We  believe  we  can  oper- 
ate without  the  church's  finan- 
cial support." 

Eastep  reports  that  total  con- 
tributions from  the  church  have 
paid  under  one  third  of  the 
Gale's  total  operating  expenses 
since    its    opening    last    spring.

I  think  it  is  very  thin."  "No, 
lust  be  at  least  three  layers." 
To  settle  the  argument,  the  two 
i  put  down  their  news- 
paper and  decided  to  see  for 
l lien ^elve>.  They  went  down  to 
jlhe  Seventh-day  Adventist's  air- 
Ltorium.  As  they  approached 
'the  strange  looking  building 
they  saw  the  brightly  lighted 
sign  that  decorated  the  front  en- 
trance. "Bible  Speaks,  Evange- 
listic Crusade  by  Bruce  John- 
ston." "How  can  the  Bible 
speak?"  "That  I  would  like  to 
see!"  "Let's  go  in  and  find  out 
what  this  crusade  is  all  about 
and  settle  our  argument."  As 
they  entered  the  building  and 
heard  the  singing,  they  com- 
pletely forgot  the  reason  they 
had  come  for. 

Korean  Union  Mission's  new 
airatorium  drew  the  attention  of 
hundreds  of  people  including 
the  local  press.  This  building 
was  the  first  of  its  kind  in 
Korea,  and  everyone  was  curi- 
ous. "What  made  it  stay  up?" 
As  a  result  the  opening  meeting 
of  the  Bible  Speaks  Crusade 
opened  with  a  crowd  so  large 
that  the  local  police  came  to  as- 
sist. Elder  Bruce  Johnston, 
Evangelist  for  the  Far  Eastern 
Division,  was  the  speaker  for  the 
meetings  and  was  assisted  by 
the  ministers  of  the  area  who 
were  attending  a  field  school  of 
which  the  crusade  was  a  part. 
The  opening  night  there  was  a 
power  failure  fifteen  minutes 
before  the  meeting  was  to  begin 
and  the  auditorium  started  to 
come  down.  It  was  shortly  re- 
stored, and  the  meetings  began 
on  schedule. 

Five  nights  after  the  opening 
meeting  a  typhoon  hit  the  coast 
of  Pusan.  Winds  and  rain 
drenched  the  city  worse  than 
anything  in  the  past  25  years. 
Scores  of  people  were  killed  as

Editors  of  the  new  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  youth  magazine 
have  announced  a  "Help  the 
Happening"  contest,  aimed  at 
finding  a  name  for  the  new 
magazine. 

The  contest  opened  to  anyone 
between  the  ages  of  16  and  30, 
closes  December  15.  Only  one 
name  to  an  entry  blank  is  per- 
mitted. 

Describing  the  new  magazine 
as  a  "bold  weekly  magazine  for 
Seventh-day  Adventist  youth," 
the  editors  urge  contestants  to 
think  in  terms  of  a  name  that 
will  fit  the  bright  new  format 
and  content  of  the  publication. 

The  person  submitting  the 
name  selected  will  receive  a  first 
prize  of  $100.  Second  and  third 
prizes  of  S50  and  $25  will  also 
be  awarded.  In  event  of  a  tie, 
the  entry  bearing  the  earliest 
postmark  will  receive  the 
award,  so  an  early  response  is 
indicated. 

Contestants  may  use  either 
cards  provided  by  youth  leaders 
of  the  church  or  entry  blanks 
published  in  church  periodicals. 

The  editors  urge  young  writ- 
ers to  submit  manuscripts  or 
article  and  story  queries.  "It's 
a  senior  youth  publication," 
they  say,  "and  we  want  think-

All-Stars  Stitch 


The  All-Stars  literally  left 
Gryte's  team  in  stitches  in  the 
Gryte-All  Star  game  last  Satur- 
day night.  And  it  was  one  play 
that  broke  everything  wide 
open — from  the  game  to  Coach 
Thomas'  and  Jim  Jenks'  head*! 
The  final  score  of  45-19  belied 
the  closely -fought  battle  that  the 
game  really  was. 

The  big  play  came  about 
two-thirds  of  the  way  through 
the  second  half,  All-Stars  lead- 
ing 20-19,  when  Mark  Weigley 
intercepted  a  Thomas  pass. 
Trying  f  o  r  Weigley  *s  flags 
Thomas  and  Jenks  collided. 
opening  facial  cuts  requiring  10 
stitches  for  Thomas  and  5 
stitches  for  Jenks.  Oh.  yes,  they 
did  get  Weigley's  flag! 

With  Thomas  and  Jenks 
both  out  of  the  game,  the  All- 
Stars  quickly  capitalized  on 
Gryte's  loss  and  scored  four 
touchdowns  in  six  minutes. 
Three  of  the  touchdowns  were 
scored  by  Ron  Johnson,  who  had 
been  previously  covered  by 
Thomas.  Gryte's  offense,  minus 
mastermind  quarterback  Thom- 
as, and  glue-fingered  Jenks. 
couldn't  mount  a  sustained 
drive,  and  were  forced  to  give 
up  the  ball  without  scoring. 

Most  spectators  left  with  the 
injuries  vividly  pressed  on  their 
minds.  What  was  overlooked, 
unfortunately,  were  outstanding 
efforts  on  the  part  of  both  teams. 
Mike  Roberts,  Ail-Star  quarter- 
back, undoubtedly  played  one 
of  his  finest  games  ever,  throw- 


trying  for  Weigle 

Gryfe  45-19 


ing  for  315  yards  and  seven 
touchdowns.  All-Star  halfback 
Johnson  caught  for  132  yards, 
and  All-Star  end  Joe  Hare  re- 
ceived for  another  84  yards. 
Gary  Gryte,  from  his  halfback 
slot,  ran  "for  101  yards,  plus  73 
mure  vards  coming  on  kick-off 
and  punt  return  yardage.  All- 
Star  linebacker  Bo  Fanluli-  ran 
back  one  interception  for  49 
yank  one  of  four  passes  inter- 
cepted by  the  All-Star  defense. 
Johnson  scored  25  points  to  top 
both  teams'  scoring. 

What  had  started  out  being  a 
thriller  for  the  100-odd  fans  who 
braved  the  30°  weather  ended 
up  being  quite  a  rout,  as  the  All- 
Stars  rubbed  salt  in  Gryte's 
wounds,  adding  insult  i«  injurv! 


Final  Standings  and  Statistics 


Adventist  participation  in  the 
Army's  Project  Whitecoat  re- 
cently came  under  study  by  a 
specially  appointed  General 

Conference  committee,  accord- 
ing to  the  directors  of  the  SDA's 
National  Service  Organization 
(NSO). 

Project  Whitecoat  has  come 
under  fire  recently  by  critics 
who  are  skeptical  of  its  "peace- 
ful" application.  Rep.  Richard 
McCarthy  of  New  York,  who 
has  been  making  a  special  study 
of  chemical  and  biological  war- 
fare (CBW)  used  by  the  De- 
fense Department  recently  said 
that  the  use  of  SDA's  at  Fort 
Derrick  "is  the  worst  part  of  the 
whole  thing." 

The  GC  committee  visited 
FortDetrickonSept.il.  After 
spending  the  entire  afternoon 
with  Col.  Dan  Crozier,  USA, 
MC,  the  commanding  officer  of 
the  unit,  probing  the  project  and 
evaluating  Adventist  involve- 
ment in  it,  the  committee  re- 
ported the  results  of  their  study 
to  the  GC  officers. 

The  special  committee  found 
that  the  Project  Whitecoat  unit 
is  freely  open  to  qualified  in- 
spectors— there  are  no  locked  or 
closed  laboratories.  The  ad- 
jacent fully-enclosed  and  classi- 
fied medical  unit  at  Fort  Det- 
rick  dealing  with  chemical  and 
biological  warfare  is  not  related 
to  Project  Whitecoat  in  any 
way. 

Over  1500  men  have  served 
in  the  unit  at  Fort  Detrick  since 
the  first  program  was  estab- 
lished in  1953.  Since  then,  over 
160  articles  and  reports  of  the 
research  have  been  published  in 
medical  journals. 

During  the  last  three  years 
alone,  49  medical  research  insti- 
tutions have  used  the  vaccines 
developed  in  the  project  to  pro- 
tect their  personnel  engaged  in 
research  with  infectious  disease 

Although  volunteers  in  the 
program  run  slight  risks,  every 
precaution  possible  is  used,  and 
elaborate  safeguards  are  set  up. 
Hundreds  of  servicemen  have 
been  sick  while  engaged  in  the 
studies,  but  there  has  been  no 
documented  medical  proof  of 
any  permanent  damage  to  any-

Local  Veterans  Describe 
Whitecoat  Experiences 


By  Wynene  Preston 
Several  Collegedale  men  have 
participated  in  the  White  Coats 
and  state  their  feelings  concern- 
ing this  controversial  subject. 

Wilfred  Smith,  known  as 
"Buddy,"  refers  to  the  White 
Coats  by  saying,  "I  liked  it.  It 
gave  me  a  chance  to  see  what 
medical  science  is  doing,  not 
only  in  the  military,  but  in 
civilian  life  as  well."  Buddy 
was  interested  in  nursing  when 
he  volunteered,  and  got  a  job  in 
the  hospital  at  Ft.  Detrick,  Md.

claims,  "All  the  projects

Tom  Ford,  another  volunteer,!

all  the  information  about  tl 
program  was  given  him.  "V 
all  were  nervous  because  we 
heard  wild  stories  going  aroun 
but  it  was  really  more  or  less  ;

Jerre  Conerly  who  was  in  tl

A  "no  handicap"  gulfi'iiv.  dad 
a  "golf  bag"  roommate,  and  a 
strong  desire  to  master  his  game 
paved  the  way  for  Allan  Chas- 
tain.  Chastain  is  the  winner  of 
the  Happy  Valley  Champion- 
ship flight  golf  tournament  held 
Nov.  9,  1969,  at  Rolling  Hills 
Golf  Course  in  Cleveland,  Tenn. 

Dr.  Chalmer  Chastain  Jr.,  his 
father,  has  played  the  game  for 
eleven  years  and  has  won  ten 
tournaments.  Chastain  says  his 
dad  was  probably  the  biggest  in- 
fluence on  his  interest  in  golf. 

Starting  out  as  a  ten-year-old 
caddie  for  his  dad,  Allan  worked 
Ins  way  up  from  "ball  hunting" 
to  "ball  slicing"  with  his  moth-

essary    for    choosing    the    nL

is  the  necessity  of  practice.  Tw|

Train  crews  repairing  the 
tracks  within  an  hour  of  the 
wreck  had  trains  rolling  thnnigli 
again  within  ten  hours  after  the 
accident.  Two  large  rail  cranes 
were  used  to  clear  the  track  and 
aided  in  laying  pre-fabricated 
sections  of  ties  and  rails  in  the 
right-of-way. 

No  official  report  of  the  acci- 
dent has  been  reported  yet,  but 
reports  of  eye-witnesses  have 
pieced    together    the    following 

A  Wabash  boxcar,  about  nine 
or  ten  cars  from  the  caboose, 
hit  the  switch  at  the  new  bak- 
ery,    about     one-half     a     mile 


pletely  off  the  tracks  lying  on 
their  sides  or  top.  Four  box- 
cars remained  upright,  but  were 
derailed,  as  did  the  caboose. 
The  rest  of  the  42-car  train 
mads  it  safely  to  the  Chatta-

Although  the  accident  took 
place  just  beyond  and  parallel 
to  the  McKee  siding,  none  of  the 
incoming  shipments  to  the 
bakery  were  affected.

How  far  should  the  church  go 
in     attempting     to     witness     to 

those  of  the  so  called  "hippie

— worthv  of  the  Christian's

without  losing  his  > 
Christian  experience,"  continues 
Hulsey.  "and  I  feel  that  many 
of  the  students  who  have  been 
working  at  the  Gate  could  not 
be  classified  as  this  type  of  per- 


One  argument  which  the 
Gate's  supporters  used  as  evi- 
dence of  the  project's  success 
was  the  recent  baptism  of  a 
former  motorcycle  gang  leader 
who  had  been  led  to  Christ  by 
workers  at  the  Gate,  notes  Elder 
Buf. 

"Other  issues  played  a  greater 
influence,"  says  Elder  Ruf. 
"Many  of  the  board  members 
were  looking  for  more  results. 
They  expected  that  Bible  studies 
should  be  in  progress  with  a 
considerable  number  of  the 
Gate  contacts  and  that  more  of 
these  contacts  should  be  attend- 
ing some  SDA  church,"  says 
Elder  Ruf. 

"Whether  they  are  right  in 
expecting  this,"  continues  Elder 
Ruf.  "is  the  main  crux  of  the 
question," 

Another  church  board  mem- 
ber, Francis  Costerisan,  super- 
intendent of  plant  maintenance 
and  construction  for  the  college, 
says  that  "the  Gate  couldn't  pos- 
sibly be  representative  of  our 
church  standard." 

Costerisan  remarked  that 
when  he  first  saw  the  Gate  he 
had  thought  it  was  a  type  of 
night  dub  rather  than  an  evan- 
gelistic center. 

Costerisan  added  that  perhaps 
his  chief  concern  regarding  the 
Gate  is  what  he  called  the 
"look"  of  the  SMC  students  who 
are  working  at  the  Gate.  He 
said  that  their  "appearance 
makes  it  seem  that  they  are 
traveling  further  toward  the

the  types  of  individ- 
uals who  have  been  attracted  to 
the  Gate,  but  the  chief  questions 
asked  by  most  board  members 
were:  Is  the  Gate  in  harmony 
with  our  church  standards  and 
is  it  possible  that  we  are  running 
a  great  risk  of  "losing"  our  own 
young  people  "to  the  world"  by 
operating  a  place  such  as  the 
Gate? 

None  of  the  board  members 
seemed  to  know  the  answers  to 
these  questions,  but  it  was 
thought  that  until  some  accurate 
answers  were  given  and  until 
complete  support  could  be  given 
to  the  Gate  by  all  members  of 
the  church,  it  was  probably  best 
for  the  church  to  officially  with- 
draw its  support  of  the  Gate.

church  has  become  alarmed  at 

young  people  are  leaving  the  church.    In  some 

places.  90  percent  are  dropping  out,  though  the  rate  is  lower  in 
other  places.  Everywhere  the  problem  is  enough  to  make  the 
leaders  worried. 

Not  only  are  the  leaders  worried  about  the  drop-outs,  but 
the  remaining  youth  also  worry.  These  youth  are  concerned  also 
in  the  lack  ol  success  the  church  has  had  rn  youth  evangelism. 
Because  ol  this  concern,  young  people  in  our  church  today  have 
designed  programs  and  pli 
church,  and  cut  down  at  1 
leaving  the  church. 

These  programs  devised  by  Adventist  young  people  are 
ollen  quite  well  accepted  by  young  and  old  alike.  Yet,  there 
always  seems  to  be  some  members  of  the  church  that  frown  on 
these  new  activities  because  of  the  procedures  used,  or  the  prin- 
ciples involved. 

The  young  people  today  feel  that  the  church  has  tried  and 
has  seemingly  failed  with  their  youth,  and  they  feel  that  the  least 
that  the  church  can  do  now  is  let  the  young  people  try  out  their 

The  ones  who  should  know  best  what  today's  youth  want 
are  today's  youth.  It's  the  Christian  young  person  that  can  most 
effectively  relate  to  his  peers.  The  "now"  generation  distrusts 
anyone  over  30,  it  seems.  For  that  matter,  they  don't  put  much 
faith  in  anything  over  thirty  years  old.  including  the  traditional 
church  programs.  Thus  it  is  that  the  plans  that  the  youth  devise 
should  be  more  likely  to  succeed  with  young  people  than  plans 
devised  by  yesterdays  youth. 

Across  the  country,  SDA  youth  are  coming  up  with  new 
evangelistic  ideas— SMC's  Gate,  Florida's  Maranatha,  Califor- 
nia's Team  Act  and  Park  Witnessing,  and  the  Traveler's  and 
Hitchhiker's  bands.  In  almost  every  case,  the  youth  have  met 
with  some  opposition  and  "static"  from  some  church  members. 
Yet,  everyone  of  these  plans  has  been  successful. 

Older  members  counter  the  claims  of  youth  success  by  say- 
ing that  principle  is  compromised,  and  the  church  image  is  low- 
ered. It  is  possible  that  through  an  osmotic  process,  the  Christian 
workers  are  lowered  to  the  level  of  those  they  are  trying  to  con- 
vert. And  it  may  be  even  true  that  young  people  in  the  church 
have  left  the  church  after  or  while  participating  in  these  youth 
programs. 

Yet,  if  the  Christian  young  people  working  with  the  other 
youth  are  truly  sincere  Christians,  Christ  will  live  in  them  to  such 
an  extent  that  they  can't  help  but  raise  the  lives  of  those  for  whom 
they  are  working.  In  fact,  by  their  Christian  example,  they  can 
show  the  world  that  the  Christian  life  is  really  worth  living,  with- 
out even  having  to  begin  preaching. 

Billy  Graham  once  noted,  "U  what  we  do  saves  one  soul,  then 
it  is  worth  it."  Today's  youth  have  won  souls  through  their  ef- 
forts, and  it  has  been  worth  it.  Yet,  think  what  might  have  been 
accomplished  if  the  opposition  had  been  non-existent.     Give  us

Recently,  one  of  the  freshman  senators  raised  the  question 
in  SA  Senate  of  whether  or  not  SMC  had  a  school  song.  A  school 
song,  she  felt,  would  help  a  lot  in  building  school  spirit. 

After  a  little  bit  of  research,  the  ACCENT  staff  discovered  a 
copy  of  the  school  song  that  once  resounded  through  these  halls. 
Look  it  over — it's  printed  below  and  to  the  right.  It's  quite  obvious 

SMC  has  simply  outgrown  its  school  song.  The  song,  as  it 
now  stands,  sounds  like  it  would  be  great  for  a  small  400-student 
campus  snuggling  up  on  the  hill,  but  it's  not  appropriate  for  a 
1400-sludent  metropolis  sprawled  across  □  whole  valley. 

Should  the  song  be  replaced  by  something  a  little  more  rele- 
vant? If  so,  who  should  do  it?  The  Senate  discussed  commission- 
ing a  group  of  music  majors  to  do  the  revising  or  rewriting.  Is 
tho  Senate  authorized  to  appoint  such  a  group,  and  would  such 
a  group  be  capable  of  writing  a  song  worthy  of  our  school? 

These  are  questions  that  SA  and  administrative  leadership 
want  answered.  Let  your  senator  know  how  you  feel.  Tell  (he 
faculty  what  you  want.  Write  to  the  ACCENT.  It's  up  to  you— 
the  individual  student.    Do  something! 


add  that  I'm 
what  goes  o 
the  springtii 
'here,  but  evi 
;s  tripping  blithely 
the  heads  of  practically 
even-one  I've  ever  met.  From 
the  scientist  to  the  wide-eyed 
coed  everybody  seems  to  have 
an  incurable  infatuation-  with 
the  mystic. 

The  scientist  apparently 
wishes  to  escape — as  he  sees  it 
— either  out  of  reality  into  the 
realm  of  abstractions  and  theo- 
retical statements  or  into  a  kind 
of  reality  much  more  depend- 
able than  that  in  which  he  eats 
his  breakfast. 

Every  specialist  who  really 
enjoys  Ins  occupation  narrows 
his  world  (occupation)  down  to 
-oi i M 'tiling  for  which  he  can 
work  up  an  emotional  fervor. 
Mi'i .hanic-.  good  ones,  love  cars. 
Doctors,  again  good  ones,  are 
lonliini.tlly  intrigued  by  the 
methods  of  keeping  the  human 
anatomy  in  good  running  order. 
However,  the  world  is  full  of 
tlis-.ili-fied  people  who  seem  to 
have  lost  this  first  flush  of  en- 
thusiasm for  the  occupation 
they  have  chosen  and  either  suf- 
fer— vocally  protesting  all  the 
while — on.  or  change  occupa- 
tions with  the  some  alarming 
frequency  with  which  Holly- 
wood stars  and  starlets  change 
wives  and  husbands.  And  for 
about  the  same  reason. 

Even  college  teachers  seem  to 
be  burdened  with  this  problem 
at  about  the  same  rate  as  the 
rest  of  the  populace.  There  is, 
however,  one  alarming  differ- 
ence between  a  disenchanted 
college  teacher  and  every  other 
ilisiuinfiieil  individual  who  feels 
that  he  is  a  misfit  in  his  occupa- 

The     college     teacher     who 


iisinterested  in, 
his  occupation  can  effectively 
kill  off  the  interest  of  large  num- 
bers of  students  in  his  subject 
for  all  time.  If  he  doesn't  like 
(I  could  say,  "love")  his  subject 
to  the  degree  and  intensity  that 
this  is  continually  apparent  to 
his  students,  unfortunately  he 
isn't  teaching.  .  He  has  turned 
from  a  motivating  force  into  a 
twn-le^ged  lextbonk  as  dusty  as 
the  average  book  on  a  library 
shelf.      Dusty     from    minimal 

But  poor  teachers — and  most 
poor  teachers  are  incompetent 
for  this  reason — teach  on  and 
on  and  on.  (It's  a  livelihood. 
you  see.  I'll  tell  'em,  and  if  they 

don't  learn  it,  well let 

'em  flunk.) 

Fortunately,  the  less  and  less 

ept  teachers  and  disinterested 
students  take  place  the  further 
education  progresses,  but  still — 
like  a  spectre  haunting  an  old 
dusty  corner — the  incompetent 
teacher  and  his  ghostly  presence 
are  still  around.

SOUTHERN  ACCENT 


Collegedale  Celebrates  First  Year 


Sophomores  Win  College  Bowl 


By  Lynda  Hughes 
While  SMC  students  run  to 
lasses,  study  for  tests,  and  try 
o  meet  work  appointments, 
iround  them  a  tiny  town  is 
jrowing  into  a  slightly  bigger 
ity. 
Marking  one  year  of  progress 
off  its  calendar  on  Nov.  26,  the 
Collegedale  city  government 
also  completed  goals  it  set  for 
itself  during  the  past  year. 

You  say  you  haven't  seen 
anything  happen?  It  is  hard  to 
see  a  boundary  move.  "Our 
recent  annexation,"  says  Mayor 
Fuller,  "which  was  final  on 
Nov.  15,  added  approximately 
25-30%  more  acreage  to  the 
town  and  added  35  families." 
You  might  call  that  external 
growth. 

The  city  has  also  grown  in- 
ternally. On  July  1,  when  the 
city  received  its  first  income 
(sales  and  gas  tax  refund  from 
the  state),  services  officially  be- 
gan. "Since  then,"  Fuller  said, 
"we  have  spent  approximately 
§3000  on  road  repairs  and  $1000 
|  on  signs." 

Flood  possibilities  (known  by 
experience)  are  being  banished 
by  putting  in  fill  dirt  just  north 
of  the  railroad  crossing  near 
Tucker  Road.  Fuller  said  the 
city  will  also  be  paving  the  sec- 
tion soon,  and  that  the  process 
will  raise  the  road  above  the 
flood  level. 

"Since  Sept.  1,"  the  mayor 
said,  "the  city  has  had  the  re- 
sponsibility of  police  protection 
Now  we  have  two  full-time  of 
ficers  and  three  part-time. 
Besides  our  original  1967  Plym- 


walking  the  yellow  pages  when 
desperately  trying  to  contact  the 
police.  On-duty  police  can  now 
be  reached  at  267-2854.  When 
off  duty,  they  can  be  contacted 
at  their  homes. 

"For  the  convenience  of  the 
people,"  said  Fuller,  "We  now 
have  our  own  city  hall,  located 
where  the  barber  shop  was  in 
the  shopping  center.  We  are 
looking  forward  to  eventually 
having  one  in  connection  with 
the  present  fire  department 
building  and  location." 

Perhaps  Collegedale  is  the  lit- 


tle city  that  thinks  it  i 
city,  for  not  only  does  it 
change    roads,    buildings, 
services,  it  has  decided  to 

"This  is  very  indefini 
the  mayor  said,  "but  we  hope  to 
get  the  county  and  state  to 
work  with  us  in  cutting  down 
the  mounlain  and  moving  the 
road  to  change  the  city  entrance 
before  you  get  to  McKee  Baking 
Co.  from  Robinson's  Corner." 

"Keep      watching," 
Mayor  Fuller,  "or  you  may 
know  your  way  around."

The  agony  of  deciding  who  to 
invite  to  the  reception  is  not 
half  as  bad  as  the  suspense  while 
waiting  for  an  answer.  You  bite 
your  fingernails  to  the  quick  and 
keep  on  biting.  You  begin  com- 
piling  a   list  of  second   choice 

Finally,  you  receive  a  reply, 
and  your  elation  or  despair  is 
easy  to  see.  Now  that  the  mat- 
ter of  an  escort  is  settled,  you 
begin  on  the  next  problem, 
"What  shall  I  wear?" 

You  visit  all  your  friends  who 
wear  your  size,  trying  on  dress 
after  dress.  When  you  find  one 
you  like,  you  ask  the  owner, 
"Are  you  sure  HE  has  never 
seen  this  dress?" 

During  the  intervening 
weeks,  you  may  get  better  ac- 
quainted with  your  date  at  the 
lyceum  and  other  activities. 

The  day  dawns  bright  and 
clear,  with  a  tingle  of  excite- 
ment in  the  air.  The  hum  of 
activity  grows  more  and  more 
frantic  as  the  day  wears  on. 

You  make  certain  to  arrive  a 
few  minutes  early  for  your  ap- 
pointment at  the  beauty  salon. 
There  you  find  a  long  line  of 
girls  waiting  before  you.  Your 
appointment  is  at  3  o'clock,  but 
it  is  4:15  before  the  stylist  gets 
to  you.  As  you  leave  at  5:30, 
you  smile  sympathetically  at  the 
long-haired  lass  still  under  the 
hair  dryer. 

Arriving  back  at  the  dorm, 
you  watch  in  astonishment  as  a 
friend  sews  the  finishing  touches 
on  her  dress  as  the  clock  nears 

When  ready,  you  stand  at  the 
door  of  your  room,  listening  as 
your  friends  are  paged  on  the 
"all-call"  intercom.  You  strain 
to  listen,  hoping  you^thdn'

You  a. 

your  waiting  date  for  a  perfectly 
wonderful  evening. 


By  Bill  Cash 

A  women's  reception  can  be 
quite  nerve-wra eking  for  the 
fellows,  starting  from  the  time 
when  those  invitations  are 
handed  out.  When  the  fateful 
night  arrives,  and  the  goats  and 
the  girls  deliver  their  want  ads. 
the  lobby  gets  more  crowded 
than  it  does  during  a  football 
game  on  TV, 

It's  not  fair,  seeing  that  hand- 
some fellow  down  the  hall  get- 
ting eight  or  nine  invites,  while 
you  don't  even  get  one.  Oh — 
hold  it!— the  last  one  (You 
knew  it!)  was  for  you.  But, 
who  is  she?     Better  get  out  the 

Now  things  move  a  little 
more  normally.  However,  those 
phone  calls  home  seem  to  more 
urgently  ask  for  money.  "These 
receptions  aren't  free,  Dad!" 

High-pressure  sales  talks  are 
given  each  night,  as  fellows  try 
to  talk  you  into  believing  their 
flowers  are  better  than  the 
others,  because  they  try  harder. 
You  finally  decide  to  buy  them 
downtown,  instead,  and  find 
you  save  a  couple  of  dollars. 

Then  comes  the  big  Sunday. 
After  fooling  around  all  day 
watching  Joe  Willie  and  the 
Jets,  you  find  yourself  taking  a 
cold  shower,  shaving, -polishing 
your  shoes,  and  doing  every- 
thing  else   in   less    than    fifteen 

As  you  walk  over  to  the  gym, 
you  remind  yourself  that  your 
date  is  -lefthanded,  you  need  to 
seat  her  at  the  end  of  the  table. 
After  you  sit  down,  you  realize 
that  she  is  seated  at  the  end  of 
the  table,  but  facing  the  wrong 
way,  and  her  left  arm  will  be 
bumping  your  right  arm  during 
the  meal. 

Well,  everything  comes  off  all 
right  in  the  end,  and  all  the 
misfortunes  and  trials  endured 
over  the  last  couple  of  weeks 
are  forgotten  as  you  kiss  your 
girl  goodnight.

Dr.  Wayne  VandeVere,  pro- 
fessor of  business  administra- 
tion, was  also  granted  a  leave 
which  he  will  spend  preparing 
next  year's  classes,  and 
traveling. 

A  routine  wage  increase  was 
voted   for   faculty   and   staff   in 


accordance  with  the  continued 
rise  in  the  cost  of  living. 

Plans  were  initiated  to  re- 
model the  third  floor  of  Jones 
Hall  to  accommodate  an  ap- 
proximate 56-person  overflow 
from  Talge  Hall. 

Thatcher  Hall  is  also  inade- 
quate for  residence  needs;  the 
Board  voted  to  build  a  new  24- 
person  dormitory  next  to  the 
present  brick  apartments  on 
Camp  Raid.  The  new  building 
will  later  be  converted  into 
apartments,  if  necessary. 

The  Board  also  voted  to  begin 
plans  to  work  with  the  City  of 
Collegedale  in  improving  the 
intersection  of  the  roads  Api-on 
Pike  and  Collegedale  By-Pass 
near   McKee   Baking  Co.

concerning  national  affairs. 

Of  chief  interest  to  the  press 
and  audience  was  the  question 
of  the  representative's  political 
future,  as  it  has  been  rumored 
for  some  time  thai  Congressman 
Brock  (a  Republican )  would 
this  year  seek  the  U.S.  Senate 
seat   held   by    Democrat   Albert 

Brock  left  little  doubt  that  he 
will  be  a  candidate  for  the  Sen- 
ate, but  said  he  would  not  make 
an  official  announcement  of 
such  plans  until  the  first  week 
in  April.  "My  mind  is  pretty 
well  made  up,"  he,  said,  "how- 
ever, until  April  I  am  .in  un-

Other  questions  fielded  by

Commentary 


Last  week,  ih©  Senate,  in  a  closed  meeting,  discussed  the 
future  of  the  Student  Association.  As  usual,  the  only  future  visible 
was  actually  quite  invisible  in  a  murky  cloud  of  student  apathy. 

To  be  frank,  the  SA  has  no  future  as  long  as  the  student  body 
remains  as  apathetic  as  it  has  been  thus  far  this  year.  Elsewhere 
on  this  page  you  will  find  an  appeal  by  Colleen  Smith,  the  SA 's 
vice-president.  She,  and  the  other  SA  officers  would  like  to  know 
what  the  students  want  from  their  SA  and  what  can  be  done  to 
make  the  SA  more  relevant  to  the  individual  student. 

If  no  answer  is  forthcoming,  the  possibility  of  no  SA  looms 
ahead.  What  would  SMC  be  without  the  SA?  We  see  no  real 
outside  difference. 

Presently,  the  SA  is  responsible  for  the  recreational,  intra- 
mural program,  the  social  program,  and  the  publication  of  the 
SOUTHERN  MEMORIES  and  SOUTHERN  ACCENT.  Oh,  yes.  they 
DO  do  a  little  more,  sometimes. 

So  what  happens  when  the  SA  ceases  to  exist?  First  of  alL 
the  intramural  program  would  probably  still  continue  under  the 
s  of  the  PE  department.  Saturday  night  programs  would 
.  possibly  without  the  occasional  "Candlelight."  And 
the  two  publications  would  still  be  printed,  at  the  school's  ex- 
pense— and  at  no  reduction  of  the  general  fee  either,  for  the  ad- 
ministration would  need  money  from  somewhere  to  finance  what 
the  SA  had  been  financing. 

So  what's  to  lose?  Why  not  do  away  with  the  SA,  and  still 
keep  the  same  privileges.    You  want  to  have  your  cake  and  eat 

But  the  students  will  lose.  The  only  channel  between  stu- 
dents and  administration  would  be  those  hand-picked  students 
that  serve  on  the  administrative  committees.  We  have  them  now, 
believe  it  or  not!  Are  they  really  representing  you?  Do  they 
know  how  you  feel? 

Through  the  SA,  at  least  there  is  a  closer  tie  through  your 
senator,  who  is  supposed  to  visit  his  precinct  periodically. 

If  you  want  representation  with  the  administration,  there  are 
two  ways  to  go.  You  can  keep  on  with  the  SA  and  the  Senate, 
letting  them  be  your  advocate  in  student-faculty  discussions.  Or 
you  can  let  a  small  handful  of  students  serving  on  student-admin- 
istration committees  speak  for  you.    It's  your  choice. 

Q  KCtNTs  Mid-Course  Assessment 

Semester  break  is  almost  here,  and  with  i(  we  are  reminded 
that  the  school  year  is  half  over.  Only  one  more  grueling  semes- 
ter before  summer,  and  vacation.  Semester  break  is  often  used 
as  a  time  for  self-evaluation.  How  have  we  done  during  the 
>  going  to  improve  during  the  next 
e  we  going  to  make? 

We  on  the  ACCENT  staff  are  also  evaluating  our  job  during 
the  first  semester.  What  land  of  job  have  we  done?  How  could 
we  have  done  belter?  What  would  we  do  differently  were  we  to 
do  it  all  over  again? 

Those  of  us  on  the  staff  feel  that  we  have  done  a  fairly  good 
job  thus  far  this  year.  Not  a  perfect  job,  granted,  but  a  fairly 
good  job.  We  have  achieved  an  objective  that  few  staffs  in 
SMC's  past  have  reached— we  have  put  out  a  real  semi-monthly 
paper.  Every  two  weeks  for  the  past  four-and-a-hali  months, 
you  have  received  a  copy  of  the  SOUTHERN  ACCENT,  except 
where  vacations  and  exams  interfered.  This  is  the  way  it's  sup- 
posed to  be,  and  we  are  proud  of  it. 

We  have  tried  to  get  a  wide  variety  of  news  in  our  paper. 
Besides  the  usual  publicity  and  news  stories,  human  interest 
articles  found  their  way  into  the  paper.  What  with  Speculum, 
cartoons,  and  letters,  page  two  was  kept  from  being  as  dry  as  it 
might  have  been. 

We've  made  mistakes,  as  much  as  we  hate  to  admit  it.  We've 
pulled  some  real  boners.  But  we're  learning.  It  takes  a  while 
for  a  green  staff  to  get  used  to  deadlines,  dummies,  and  outlines 
And  that's  what  the  ACCENT  is  here  to  do— train  journalism  stu- 
dents and  others  in  newspaper  production.  And  this  is  one  class 
in  which  we  don't  receive  credit.    But  it's  been  fun. 

We've  still  eight  issues  in  which  to  improve  some  more.

Laying  all  our  emotionalism 

aside  for  a  moment,  it  does  seem 
strange  lhat  so  many  fine  Chris- 
tian people  appear  dctt-'niiinod 
lo  judge  the  quality  of  another's 
heart,  conscience,  and— indeed 
— Christianity  by  the  ounce  or 
two  of  hair  he  wears  on  his  face. 
Gentlemen,  be  seated.  I  can 
see  all   of  you   now,   poised   to 

side  of  this  current  controversy 
appeals  to  your  imagination.  To 
those  of  you  who  favor  the  pro 
side  of  the  argument,  I  hasten 
to  agree  with  you  that  many 
fine  men  wore  beards — Christ, 
Lincoln,  George  Washington. 
and  many,  many  others.  Also, 
you  have  a  right  to  wear  a 
beard.  Certainly  you  do.  It  is 
definitely  your  face  and  how 
you  wish  to  appear  is  your  own 
business.  And  a  well-kept  beard 
can  be  made  much  more  than 
merely  presentable. 

Also,  back  in  the  early 

of  the  Review  and  Herald 

ter  was  written  to  James  White 
on  the  subject  of  beards  which 
alleged  that  the  shaving  off  of 
beards  was  immoral  on  the 
grounds  that  it  betrayed  signs  of 
effeminacy,  and  an  attempt  to 
look  like  a  woman.  Tlu^c  .ire 
not  the  exact  words  of  the  article 
but  they  convey  the  sense.  It 
would  almost  go  without  saying 
that  James  White  refused  to 
take  any  stand  at  all  on  the  sub- 
ject and  merely  answered  the 
letter  by  stating  that  the  only 
thing  that  should  govern 
whether  or  not  a  man  wore  a 
beard  was  personal  taste  or 
preference.     James  White  wore 

To  those  of  you  who  stand 
firmly  on  the  con  side  of  this 
argument  (or  discussion),  I  can 
see  only  one  knock  which  holds 
up  ^insistently  under  all  tests. 

Before  I  state  this  argument, 
let  me  say  that  I  do  realize  that 
in  some  quarters  beards  have 
become  a  sign  of  rebellion,  and 
to  some  eyes— therefor.— -all 
beards  are  rebellious.  The  argu- 
ment lose,  we.ght  if  one  looks  at 
H  m  this  light.  If  some  youth 
grows  a  beard  and  commits  a 
crime,  dots  that  aut(.n,,tt.,aily 
ni.iki-  felons  out  of  such  men  as 
Si  TI,(1M,.ts  IWh.m,  ,,,,,1  lames 
White?  All  beards  are  not  signs 
of  subversiveness.  When  did 
we  dec.de  to  judf-e  the  character 
of  a  man  by  his  appearance  in- 
ad    of    becoming    personally 


his   choice   of    hirsute 


However,    there   is   one   good 

argument  for  not  wearing 
beards.  If  I  were  to  grow  a 
beard  and  thereby  take  advan- 
tage of  this  phobia  against  them 
which  I  have  observed  m  many 
fine  and  consecrated  Christians, 
I  would  be  guilty  of  causing 
them  to  act  in  an  un-Christlike 
manner  by  my  unwise  decision. 
Also,  I  would  be  guilty  of  prac- 
tically the  same  sin  of  imper- 
ceptiveness  of  which  I  accuse 
them.  But,  you  cry  in  chorus, 
what  about  individuality,  my 
rights,  my  sacred  person?  You 
miss  the  point.  The  other  man's 
Christianity  is  far  more  import- 


rights.

Does  the  SA 
Have  a  Future? 

By  Colleen  Smith 
The  SA  Senate  met  in  closed! 
session  last  week  to  discuss  "Th 
Future  of  the  SA,"    Some  hav 
asked  what  was  accomplished  » 
that     meeting     and     what  | 
prompted  it. 

Because  the  image  of  the  SA  I 
has  not  been  all  that  could  \ 
desired  in  the  past,  and  because  I 
of  the  unwillingness  of  the  s 
dent  body  as  a  whole  to  partici-l 
pate  in  its  functions  or  become  | 
involved  in  its  programs, 
questions    have    come    to 
minds  of  the  SA  administration  I 
concerning  its   role   in  o 
lege.     We  have  felt  a  1 
communications  and  as  a  result,! 
are   not  really  sure  whi 
expect  of  us  as  leaders  of  the  | 
organization. 

Last  week,  your  senators 
cussed  what  they  thought 
the  function  of  the  SA.  Manyl 
ideas,  some  of  them  conflicting,! 
were  expressed.  Some  thought  I 
of  the  SA  as  primarily  provid-  f 
ing  social  activities,  such  e 
nics,  Saturday  night  entertain- 1 

banquets.  Others  looked  t 
the  voice  of  the  student  body  to  I 
the  administration.  And  somi 
thought  the  SA  should  engage  it 
services  to  the  students  simila: 
to  the  "panic  desk"  at  registra-l 
tion  and  the  book  exchange. 

All  recognized  that  we  W( 
lacking  in  commuiiioitunis 
that  you,  the  students,  doi 
know  about  the  things  that  i 
are  doing.  We  realize  also  th 
1300  students  do  not  have  t 
combination  of  time  and  mutual  I 
interests  to  make  the  SA  the| 
"big  thing"  on  our  campus 
it  is  on  the  academy  level. 

Our  meeting  was  purpose-! 
fully  adjourned  without  any| 
large-scale  programs  for 
provement  enacted.  Each  > 
ator  was  asked  to  probe  the  s 
ation  and  prepare  suggestions. I 
You,  as  concerned  members  ofl

SOUTHERN  ACCENT 


Brock  Grants  Exclusive  Interview 


A  Critiqu 


"A  Christmas  Carol" 

By  Mike  Bodtker  SMC  lalent  under  the  able  di 

On  Dec.   13,  for  the  first  or  rection  of  two  of  Collegedale':

ever-  popular  "A  Christmas 
Carol,"  known  to  some  as 
"Scrooge"  after  its  central  char- 
acter,   was    produced    by    local 


Ed.  Note:  During  his  visit  to 
SMC  last  week,  Congressman 
Bill  Brock  consented  to  an  ex- 
clusive interview  by  Bob  Cool- 

idge  for  the  Southern  Accent. 

Accent:  Do  you  think  there 
will  still  be  an  attempt  to  set  up 
a  volunteer  army  now  that  we 
have  the  lottery  system? 

Brock:  Yes,  because  the  con- 
cept of  an  all-volunteer  army 
really  doesn't  relate  to  the  draft 
lottery.  The  draft  lottery  was 
an  effort  to  give  young  people 
in  this  country  a  fair  deal  while 
we  have  the  draft.  This  gives 
them  a  more  honest  program 
that  limits  the  applicability  of 
the  draft  to  one  year.  But  be- 
yond that,  the  concept  of  the 
volunteer  army  still  need  to  be 
explored,  and  I  personally  hope 
that  we  continue  to  press  for 
that.  I  am  very  much  interested 
in  it,  and  admittedly,  we  can't 
do  it  in  the  next  year  or  two 
while  we've  got  the  draft  pres- 
sure in  Vietnam.  But  I  think 
once  we  get  beyond  that  point, 
it  should  open  up  some  possi- 
bilities. 

Accent:  Do  you  think  the  lot- 
tery will  be  redrawn? 

Brock:  No,  I  don't  really  think 
so.  That's  just  getting  every- 
exterior,  came  across  to  the  body  upset  again,  and  its  creat- 
audience  better  than  in  any  of  ing  more  uncertainty,  and  the

however,  that  Dickens,  like  all 
great  writers,  has  a  greater 
emotional  impact  in  print  than 
on  stage  or  film. 

Jim  Jenks,  in  his  role  as  the 
partridge  in  the  pear  tree  at 
Fo/ziwiff's  party,  provided  an- 
other memorable  highlight  of 
the  performance.  The  evening's 
terminal  events  included  Tiny 
Tim's  "God  bless  us,  every 
one," — the  last  of  many  curtain 
closings,  and  a  candlelight  con- 
versation hour  in  SMC's  pow- 
der -  blue  -  and  -  gold  student 
lounge,  with  soothing  harpsi- 
chord music  in  the  background. 

My  reaction:  "Ah,  a  superb- 
ly, agreeable  evening!" 


/ely  seek  reduction  of  the 
ing  age  on  a  national  basis? 

Brock:  I  have  advocated  a  re- 
duction of  the  voting  age  to  the 
age  of  18,  and  I  still  do. 

Accent:  How  much  participa- 
tion in  school  administration  do 
you  feel  students  have  a  right 
to? 

Brock:  I  think  (hat  they  have 
a  right  to  be  heard  on  any  issue, 
but  I  don't  think  that  they  have 
a  right  to  control  on  any  issue.

That's  where  I  break  it  i 
think  they  should  have

Accent:    Do    you    feel    that     mating 
changes  should  be  made  in  laws 
concerning  drug  usage? 

Brock:  Yes,  I  do.  I  think  that 

the  concept   should  be  one  of 

placing     the     primary     burden 

upon    the    pushers— those    who

have  a  right  to  do  that,  and  we 
do  have  a  right  to  require  that 
there  be  honesty  in  the  presen- 
tation of  facts.  Beyond  that,  I 
think  there  is  a  danger  of  elimi-

Smoky  Mountains  National  Park  on  Friday,  Jan.  23,  to  Sunday,

President  W.  M.  Schneider  had  his  article,  "Lord,  Is  It  I," 
printed  in  the  January  8  issue  of  the  Review  and  Herald,  general

Gl's  Vietnam:  The  Real  Story 


I  Reaching  (or  th.  sky  (and  other  things)  or  just  plain  watching  the  action 
on  A  court  are  (left  to  right]:  Jim  MacAlpine  [34],  Don  Taylor  (SO). 
Gene  Tarr,  Phil  Garver  (42).  Ken  DeFoor  (35),  Gene  Conley  (35).  and 
Dennis  Ward.  Taylor's  team  presently  leads  the  A  League,  with  an 
undefeated  record. 


Records  Tumble  in 
Basketball  Openers 


"A"  League  lia^keili.ill  began 
last  week,  as  records  fell.  But 
the  game  that  remained  in  the 
fan's  mind  didn't  break  any 
records.  Taylor  outlasted  Cour- 
tois  64-55  Sunday  night  to  re- 
main undefeated.  Bolh  teams 
had  won  their  first  game,  and 
the  winner  of  this  game  would 
have  undisputed  control  of  the 
league  lead. 

So,  after  several  days  of 
sweating  and  gelling  uj>  for  this 
first  big  game  of  the  year,  the 
game  finally  started.  Taylor 
took  a  small  lead  after  the  open- 
ing tip-off,  and  then  it  hap- 
pened. Before  the  whole  slate 
of  Tennessee,  and  half  of  Geor- 
gia and  Alabama,  Donny  Tay- 
lor made  a  lip-in.  But  when  the 
•.rorcbuard  failed  (o  change  (he 
score,  the  referees  stopped  llie 
game  and  checked  the  affinal 
records,  which  had  failed  to 
mark  down  the  basket.  How- 
ever, official  records  are  official, 
and  the  score  stood  as  it  had 
before  (officially,  that  is). 

slowed,  and  Courlois'  learn  over- 
took and  gained  the  lead.  Yet, 
Taylor  stayed  close — within  a 
few  points.  But  Nelson  Thomas' 
skillful  faking  and  shooting 
under  the  basket  took  the  toll  of 
Taylor's  big  men.  After  half- 
time.  Gene  Conley,  with  four 
fouls,  sat  out  for  12  minutes. 
However,  even  with  the  big  boy 


With  eight  mil 
ing.  Conley  came  back  in.  With- 
in three  minutes  Taylor  moved 
from  a  four-point  deficit  to  a  7- 
pnint   lead,  a  margin  he  never 


lost. 

In  other  action  during  "A" 

League's  first  week,  Courtois 
ran  over  DeFoor,  64-42;  Taylor 
drowned  Johnson,  100-56,  with 
Conlev  connecting  for  a  record 
V)  points.  This  was  also  the 
second  learn  ever  to  break  the 
100-point  barrier  here  at  SMC 
(Greene's  1969  team  was  the 
first).  Alkins  three  back  John- 
son 80-51,  with  Mickey  Greene 
liroriking  Conley's  one-night-old 
record  by  scoring  40  points. 

"B"  League 

Records  also  tumbled  in  "B" 
League  action  when  Tlioresen'; 
team  routed  Edwards  104-82. 
The  104  points  were  tin-  highest 
ever  scored  by  any  SMC  team: 
the  highest,  of  course,  for  a  "B" 
[  <';iguo  team;  and  Thoresen  was 
the  third  team  ever  to  score  over

first  '

a  new  record  for  most  poinls 
scored  in  one  game  in  any 
league  (Greene-Taylor.  1969, 
100-81)  was  the  old  record). 
Other   games    played    during 


the  week  included  Mauck' 
crushing  of  Dodd,  58-36;  and

He  was  inducted  into   the

October  17:  "True  to  my  pre- 
vious predictions.  I  am  now  sta- 
tioned in  a  small  country 
somewhere  in  southeast  Asia — 
common  name:   Vietnam! 

So  far,  all  I've  seen  are 
bunkers,  barbed  wire,  POW 
camp,  Vietnamese,  and  lots  of 
nothing.  At  night  we  can  hear 
artillery  and  mortar,  but  we 
haven't  been  hit  yet. 

October  23:  "For  the  next  52 
weeks  I  have  the  privilege  of 
calling  HHC  1/22  INF  my 
home,  but  I  will  not  reside  here. 
No  indeed!  Tomorrow 
ing  will  find  me  in  a  convoy 
he.ided  for  somewhere  just  this 
side  of  Dante's  home.  There 
I  will  spend  the  next  few 
months  gaily  tripping  through 
the  colorful  foliage  which  exists 
so  abundantly  in  the  rain- 
soaked  forests  around  this  joint. 
I  will  have  the  rare  experience 
of  viewing  wildlife  such  as 
never  existed  in  the  USA  as  we 
know  it  today  —  elephants, 
tigers,  lions,  pythons,  monkeys, 
gorillas,  and  VC,  VC,  VC! 

Wait  a  minute.  What  are 
they  doing  here?  Oh  yes.  They 
are  the  reason  we  are  here,  and 
we  are  the  reason  they  are  here. 
We  have  come  to  kill  each  other. 

By  the  way,  I  got  promoted 
to  private  first  class.  They  had 
to  promote  me  or  they  couldn't 
send  me  into  the  field.  At  least 
I  get  paid  a  little  more.  I  am 
going  into  a  fairly  dangerous 
area,  and  I  am  a  little  scared 
(actually.  I'm  scared  a  lot),  but 
I  believe  I'll  come  out  on  top.

completion  of  a  successful  mine

You  may  wonder  what  my

all,  I  take  care  of  the  guys  when 
they  get  jungle  rot,  shrapnel

diseases,  etc.  I  pass  out  malaria

while  on  patrol,  I  made  my  first

the  second!  As  we  rounded  a

"I  Will  Never  Walk  Alone' 
was  the  theme  for  the  Student 
Week  of  Religious  Emphasis, 
held  this  past  week.  Sermons 
were  of  a  personal  experience- 
testimony  type  and  centered 
around  our  need  for  an  individ- 
ual ^  relationship  with  Jesus 
Christ.  Speakers  and  topics 
were  as  follows: 

Monday  night — Lonny  Lie- 
belt,  "Jesus  Christ— Who  Needs 
Him?";  Tuesday  chapel — Craig 
Meeker,  "An  Unprayed  An- 
swer"; Tuesday  night — Linda 
Arnold,  "Live  and  Give";  Wed- 
nesday  night — Ed  Ross,  "Let 
Go  and  Let  God";  Thursday 
chapel — Gary  Gryte,  "A  Key  to 
Satan's  Storehouse";  Thursday 
night — Perry  Jennings  (Oak- 
wood),  "Personal  Relationships 
with  Christ";  Friday  night- 
Elder  John  Loor,  "The  Choice 
of  a  Lifetime." 

It  was  hoped  that  the  empha- 
sis on  personal  experience  with 
Christ  during  the  week,  com- 
bined with  the  new  format, 
would  make  the  week  a  time  of 
unmixed  blessing  for  all. 

A  -new  rformat  was  set  up  for 
this  year's  Student  Week  of  Re- 
ligious Emphasis,  according  to 
Donna  Taylor,  SMC-MV's  On

"The  Longest  Day, 
award-winning  feature  movie 
by  Twentieth  Century-Fox,  was 
shown  as  a  benefit  project  by 
the  Student  Association  last 
Saturday  evening. 

Playing  in  the  film  were  John 
Wayne,  Robert  M  i  t  c  h  u  m , 
Henry  Fonda,  Richard  Rurton, 
Curt  Jurgens,  Peter  Lawford, 
and  Edmond  O'Brien. 

This  film,  adapted  from  the 
book  written  by  Cornelius  Ryan, 
received  an  academy  award  and 
other  awards  given  by  Parents' 
Magazine.  The  Film  Daily, 
Film  Estimate  Board  of  Na- 
tional Organizations,  and  the 
National  Board  of  Reviews. 

The  story  was  a  re-enactment 
of  D-Day,  from  dawn  to  dusk — 
"composed  of  bravery,  blood- 
shed, blunders,  fateful  decisions 
and  unforseen  tricks  of  fate," 
according  to  the  film  distributor. 
"This  stirring  record  of  the 
greatest  military  operations  of 
all  times,"  he  continued,  "the 
armada  which  turned  the  tide 
on  Europe's  western  front,  in- 
cludes the  frustrating  reverses 
of  the  Allies;  the  underestima- 
tion by  the  Nazis  of  the  Allied 
force  and  strategy;  and  occa- 
sional funny  incidents  which 
eninh.iiize  the  horrible  waste 
and  futility  of  war." 


"The  money  from  this  benefit 
program  will  be  used,"  said  SA 
President  Terence  Futcher,  "to 
help  pay  for  the  furnishings  in 
our  student  lounge." 

This  is  one  of  several  projects 
undertaken  by  the  students  to 
raise  money  for  the  $7,000 
expenditure.  Other  projects  have 
included  selling  pizza,  Christ- 
mas candles,  stationery,  and 
doughnuts;  and  doing  personal 
soliciting.

Over  3400  entries  were 
judged,  says  Yost.  A  nine-mem- 
ber committee  chose  the  top  12 
entries,  which  were  then  tested 
on  nearly  500  academy  and  col- 
lege students.  Insight  was  the 
final  choice.

O 


Of  longest  Days  and  Booed  Referees 

A  couple  of  incidents  in  the  post  lew  days  have  led  some  to 
wonder  if  SMC  students  really  know  how  to  conduct  themselves 
in  public  gatherings, 

First,  during  the  showing  of  "The  Longest  Day"  last  weekend, 
iit  was  noted  by  several  self-proclaimed  celluloid  connoisseurs 
that  SMC  students  laughed  at  all  the  WTong  places,  and  in  gen- 
eral did  everything  wrong  in  viewing  a  film. 

In  retrospect,  we  would  have  to  agree  with  these  critics. 
Certainly,  war  is  no  laughing  matter,  especially  when  it  is  not 
presented  in  a  slap-stick  Abbott  and  Costello,  Laurel  and  Hardy 
manner.  There  is  nothing  to  cheer  or  jeer  about  when  a  para- 
trooper lands  in  a  well,  or  when  a  body  (German  or  otherwise) 
is  riddled  with  machine  gun  slugs  or  shrapnel.  Nor  are  the 
seemingly-comical  actions  of  men  under  stress  all  that  comical  in 
reality.  It  makes  one  wonder  if  SMC  students  are  really  worthy 
of  having  such  films  shown  to  them. 

The  other  incident  is  a  recurring  one — every  night  at  5:30  in 
the  gym.  It  doesn't  take  very  long  for  someone  who  has  watched 
very  many  sports  events,  televised  or  live,  to  realize  that  SMC 
students  are  lacking  in  the  sports  etiquette  department. 

First  of  all,  SMC  fans  must  remember  that  the  games  here 
are  just  games,  played  for  the  pure  enjoyment  or  the  exercise 
and  association.  There  is  (or  shouldn't  be)  no  money  involved, 
for  the  players  aren't  professionals,  nor  is  there  any  gambling  in- 
volved. And  no  one  is  trying  to  impress  scouts  or  the  front  office 
with  his  spectacular  play.  A  good  share  of  the  officials  are  stu- 
dents learning  how  to  referee  and  keep  score. 

Thus,  it  seems  quite  unexplicable  why  SMC  fans  enjoy  boo- 
ing the  players,  referees  or  other  fans.  Other  harassment  is 
equally  uncalled  (or,  too.  A  player  fouling  out  deserves  nothing 
but  a  round  of  applause,  for  most  likely  he  has  done  his  job  well 
while  in  the  game. 

A  bad  call  by  the  referee  is  certainly  not  intentional,  for  the 
ref  actually  thought  he  saw  a  foul,  or  he  wouldn't  have  blown 
his  whistle.  Those  in  the  stands  who  constantly  complain  about 
the  refereeing  should  be  allowed  the  privilege  (or  is  it  ignominy?) 
of  refereeing  a  game  themselves.  Likely  they  will  return  to  the 
stands  vowing  never  to  say  anything  about  bad  refereeing  again. 

Perhaps  the  best  advice  to  those  watching  a  game  can  be 
summed  up  in  the  words  of  the  age-old  Golden  Rule — Do  to  others 
as  you  want  them  to  do  to  you.    It  might  work! 

And  really,  it  might  just  be  true  that  SMC  students  aren't 
quite  as  sophisticated  and  informed  as  they'd  like  to  think  they 
are.    It  just  might  be. 


17000  Question 


What  has  become  of  the  Student  Association's  57,000  student 
lounge  project? 

Recent  indications  are  that  it  has  become  a  whopping  EX- 
CEDRIN-type  headache  for  both  the  SA  leaders  and  the  student 

Last  fall,  when  the  fund-raising  project  was  announced,  a 
majority  of  the  student  body  seemed  in  favor  of  the  idea.  No 
doubt,  this  still  holds  true.  Few  will  argue  against  the  fact  that 
if  the  new  (but.  temporary  we  might  add)  lounge  is  to  be  a  stu- 
dent center,  it  should  be  paid  for  by  the  students. 

However,  what  is  disturbing  about  this  project  is  how  little 
the  student  body  knows  about  it.  How  much  money  has  been 
raised  to  date?  Is  there  a  deadline  for  payment?  If  the  money 
is  not  raised  this  year,  can  or  will  the  project  continue  next  year? 
These  are  legitimate  questions  which  deserve  prompt  and  ex- 
plicit answers  by  the  Futcher  administration. 

Although  the  difficulty  of  fund-raising,  in  any  form,  can  be 
attested,  there  is  still  no  reason  why  SA  leaders  should  remain 
INCOMMUNICADO  on  the  progress  of  the  campaign  thus  far.  If 
the  campaign  is  doing  poorly,  let  the  students  know  about  it.  Per- 
haps that  is  all  that  is  needed  to  rally  the  students  around  the 

It  is  simple  for  the  ACCENT  editors  to  sit  happily  perched  on 
our  editorial  pedestals  while  gamely  throwing  verbal  darts  at  the 
SA  leaders  for  the  mistakes  they're  making  in  this  campaign,  but 
it  is  not  our  intention  to  belabor  the  point  at  the  expense  of  boring 
our  readers.  We've  pointed  out  a  problem.  As  usual,  we  have 
no  sure  or  quick  solution  to  offer.  But  we  do  believe  that  the 
undertaking  of  an  "inform  the  students"  project  would  be  most 
expedient,

Of  course,  I  should  define  my  terms!

It's  strange,  the  things  I  trip 
over  hack  in  the  dusty,  cob- 
webby corners  of  my  mind. 
Little  fragmentary  ideas  that  I 
promised  myself  I'd  organize 
.mil  iLmfv  occasionally  float  up 
into  the  dim  light  of  the  attic 
and  hang  before  me  .  ,  .  dim, 
out-of-focus,  and  accusing. 

Take,  for  instance,  this  state- 
ment a  man  blinded  in  the 
Korean  war  casually  handed  me 
about  four  years  ago.  "A  blind 
man  doesn't  see  what  you  see 
when  you  close  your  eyes,  that 
blackness  speckled  with  little 
floating  flashes  of  light  and  so 
forth.  He  doesn't  see  at  all.  He 
'sees'  what  you  see  out  the  back 
of  your  head.    Nothing." 

Nothing. 

And  this  is  the  same  kind  of 
nothing  that  confronts  me 
whenever  I  run  full  tilt  into  the 
inevitable,  be  it  a  research  pa- 
per, project,  assignment  .  .  . 
anything  I  don't  want  to  do  but 
find  absolutely  unavoidable. 

I've  discovered  that  I  have  an 
absolutely  unbeatable  formula 
for    staying    marvelously    busy 


for  whatever  length  of  time  I 
have  allotted  myself  for  accom- 
plishing these  things  and  doing 
absolutely  nothing.  The  hind 
part  of  the  brain  takes  over  and 
I  suddenly  wake  up  to  find  that 
I've  cleaned  the  typewriter, 
dusted  the  desk,  arranged  all 
possible  materials  thereon  in 
neat,  micrometric  little  rows 
which  then  militantly  peer  up 
accusingly  from  the  parade- 
ground  of  my  desk. 

Still  nothing,  not  even  a  faint 
glimmering  of  an  idea,  stirs 
feebly  to  life  behind  my  eyes  to 
save  me  from  myself.  There  is 
no  help  for  it.  I'm  absolutely  go- 
ing to  have  to  think  my  way  out 
of  the  corner  into  which  I've 
painted  myself,  and  usually  by 
one  or  two  o'clock  in  the  morn- 
ing I  make  it  to  the  point  where 
I  should  have  been  at  nine 
o'clock  the  night  before. 

For  instance,  I'm  certain  that 
I  have  something  that  I  want  to 
say  in  this  article,  and  I'll  get 
down  to  it  right  after  I  sharpen 
a  big  handful  of  pencils  I  just 
found   in   my  right-hand   desk

Years  Old; 
80,000  Watts 

In  November  of  1961  permis- 
sion was  granted  by  Hie  FCC  for 
testing  and  on  Dec.  8,  1961, 
WSMC-FM  officially  went  on 
the  air  as  a  licensed  10-watt  edu- 

Since  that  time  events  have 
been  taking  place  in  rapid  suc- 
cession. By  early  1962  and  1963 
the  station  was  serving  the  com- 
munity 40  hours  per  week.  Dur- 
ing the  summer  of  1963  the  sta- 
tion facilities  were  remodeled 
and  in  the  fall  of  that  same  year 
WSMC  began  rental  of  United 
Press  News  Service.  Complete 
rewiring  of  the  station  broadcast 
studio  and  installation  of  hun- 
dreds of  dollars  worth  of  new 
equipment  in  December.  1963, 
took  place. 

November     and     December. 

1964.  saw  the  addition  of  a  rec- 
ord library  and  office  area  for 
the  station. 

The  idea  for  a  high  powered 
station  was  conceived  in  the 
spring  of  1965.  In  June  of  that 
same  year  fund  raising  was  be- 
gun and  in  November  the  tower 
site,  located  atop  White  Oak 
Mountain,  was  donated  by  Dr. 
Dewitt    Bowen,    a    Chattanooga 

Licensing  for  80.000  watts 
was  applied  for  from  the  FCC  in 
February.  1966.  and  in  June  a 
complete  remodeling  of  the 
studio  and  control  room  was 
begun  and  completed  in  Oc- 
tober. 

WSMC  had  an  exciting  year 
in  1967.  In  January  a  lower 
donated  by  Chattanooga's 
WRCB-TV  was  erected.  Febru- 
ary saw  the  transmitter  building 
completed. 

March  21,  1967  was,  to  date, 
the  most  important  single  day  in 
the  history  of  WSMC-FM.  This 
was  the  day  when  WSMC  began 
broadcasting    at    80,000    watts. 

WSMC's  Director  of  Broad- 
casting and  faculty  advisor  since 

1965.  James  Hannum,  says, 
"The  1960's  saw  its  birth,  con- 
ception, and  growing  pains 
while  the  1970's  should  see  it 
become  a  dynamic  force  for 
good  in  the  community  and  we 
should  see  it  fully  accomplish 
the  purposes  for  which  it  was 
founded."

"I've   got  a    sister  21    years 

old,"  bragged  a  little  girl  taking 
pi, mo  from  Kathv  Woods,  a  stu- 
dent teacher  from  SMC. 

"That's  nice.  I'm  21,  too," 
noted  Kathy. 

"Are  you?     What  year  were

"Oh-h-h.  Was  that  back  dur-

student  teachers  run  into  dining

Atkins  Overtakes  Taylor; 
Mauck  Remains  Undefeated 


The  big  story  in  "A"  League 
action  is  the  collapse  of  Taylor's 
team.  Afler  leading  the  league 
at  the  end  of  the  first  round, 
Taylor's  team  has  been  unable 


enjoys  a  game-and-a-half 
iTfc  Taylor's  collapse  can  bt 
\Sr  buted  to  two  major  factors: 
turnovers  and  rebounds.  Tay- 
lor's team  has  acquired  the 
knack  of  passing  the  ball  where 
no  one  is,  and  their  two  big 
men,  Taylor  and  Conley,  are  not 
getting  as  many  rebounds  as 
their  opponents  are. 

Taylor's  losses  have  been 
heartbreakers.  Their  first  loss 
was  to  Johnson,  87  to  82.  A 
rally  could  not  quite  bring  Tay- 
lor to  an  even  margin  at  the 
buzzer,  as  Bo  and  Lauren  Far- 
dulis  and  Ron  Johnson  kept  out 
of  reach  by  fanlastic  shooting. 

Atkins  beat  Taylor  76-72  in 
four  overtime  periods.  Taylor 
was  just  able  to  catch  Atkins  in 
regulation  time,  and  matched 
them  in  the  first  overtime  pe- 
riod. With  four  seconds  left  in 
the  second  overtime,  Taylor 
brought  the  ball  in  at  midcourt 
after  a  time  out  Dean  Bolimer 
lobbed  a  high  pass  to  no  one  in 
general.  Gene  Conley  shot  and 
missed,  and  Donny  Taylor  got 
the  rebound  and  promptly  sunk 
a  jump  shot  in  the  middle  of 
traffic  in  the  key.  Both  teams 
matched  free  throws  in  the  third 
period,  as  Atkins  stalled  the  ball, 
but  then,  after  Gryte  and  Taylor 
fouled  out,  Atkins  opened  up  a 
lead  in  the  fourth

SMC's  four  new  MV-sponsored 
student  missionaries. 

Maybe  the  students  don't 
realize  they  are  signing  up  for 
these  types  of  activities,  but  just 
ask  SMC's  four  past  MV-sup-

{Panama,  1967);  Carolyn  Pet- 
tengill  (Bolivia,  1968);  Harry 
Nelson  (Sarawak  (1968);  and 
Doug  Foley  (Honduras,  1969). 
Miss  Carol  Smart,  junior  ele- 
mentary education  major,  Cand- 
ler, N.C.,  will  spend  the  summer 
at  Elias  Burgos  Camp,  Puerto 
Rico,  teaching  crafts  and  "help- 
ing to  make  leaders  of  the  chil- 
dren," according  to  Nelson,  di- 
of  the  MV  student  mis- 
sionary program. 

Miss  Marga  Martin,  junior 
nursing  student,  Avon  Park, 
Fla.,  will  spend  the  summer  as 
a  nurse  at  Hospital  Adventista

The     SA     Senate     recently 
awoke  from  its  hibernation  last 
week    and    took    several    long-

possible  impeachment  to  a  new 
constitution    as   it   met   in   two 
meetings.     New  senatoi

Lately  I've  been  hearing  leadership 
funny  noises  in  my  head  fices  by  - 
Strange  little  whomps  and 
bumps  in  the  night  that  whisper 
"Why  don't  we  take  the  money 
spent  on  SA  officers'  salaries  and 
buy  some  new  furniture  for  the 
Student  Lounge?"  At  first 
glance  this  seems  to  make  pretty 
good  sense,  turning  a  current 
loss  into  a  tangible  gain  right 
now.  And  strangely  enough, 
the  subject  of  the  SA  and  its 
shortcomings  no  longer

We  have  finally  decided  t  . 
those  trying  to  find  out  exactly  what  is  wrong  with  the  Student 
Association.  And  after  being  witness  to  last  week's  Senate 
meetings,  we  feel  that  we  have  the  diagnosis  to  the  SA's  disease. 
The  problem  with  the  SA  resides  in  its  Senate,  and  in  the  Sena- 

Walching  a  Senate  meeting  in  progress  is  funnier  than 
watching  a  Bob  Hope  movie,  or  something  like  that.  In  fact,  the 
ACCENT  highly  recommends  it  for  anyone  who  wants  to  get  in 
an  evening  of  belly  laughs.  For  after  a  full  semester  of  operation, 
the  Senate  still  does  not  know  how  to  properly  conduct  its  busi- 
ness. Granted  that  Robert's  Rules  of  Order  are  complicated,  but 
senators  should  be  acquainted  with  some  of  the  basic  rules  after 
several  meetings.  Incidentally,  senators,  one  does  not  "make  a 
motion,"  he  "moves."    Remember  that  next  meeting,  please. 

The  leadership  of  the  Senate  would  also  do  well  to  review 
their  handbooks  on  parliamentary  procedure.  It  might  cut  down 
on  theBe  embarrassing  points  of  order  by  observers. 

The  entire  senate  has  yet  to  meet  since  they  were  elected. 
Attendance  at  Senate  meetings  is  so  poor  that  rarely  is  there 
more  than  just  a  bare  quorum  present,  if  that  much. 

The  administration  of  our  school  acknowledges  that  it  takes 
freshmen  a  while  to  get  adjusted  to  college  life.  This  is  why  they 
have  regulations  prohibiting  certain  things,  like  cars,  for  the  fresh- 
men. Perhaps  a  similar  rule  barring  freshmen  from  the  Senate 
would  liven  things  up  there.  Of  the  22  present  senators,  9  are 
freshmen,  7  are  sophomores  (2  are  new  to  SMC  this  year),  3  are 
juniors,  and  4  are  seniors.  Freshmen  have  no  real  idea  of  what 
the  real  issues  on  campus  are  until  at  least  a  semester  or  more  is 
over.  Perhaps  this  large  group  in  the  Senate  who  are  learning 
all  about  college,  and  don't  have  much  time  for  extra-curricular 
activities  if  they  hope  to  maintain  their  GPA's,  explains  why  there 
is  a  noticed  lack  of  initiative  in  this  year's  senate.  Most  of  what 
the  senate  has  passed  this  year  has  been  spoon-fed  them,  in 
one  way  or  another,  by  President  Futcher,  Vice-President  Smith, 
or  the  cabinet. 

Now  the  Senate  has  embarked  on  a  constitution  rewriting 
excursion.  Perhaps  if  they  would  ask  the  judiciary  to  review 
present  legal  problems,  they  would  not  need  to  write  a  new  con- 
stitution to  clarify  these   questions.     What  is  the  judiciary  for, 


of  embarrassment.

Dr.  Watrous:   Students'  Friend 


By  Lynda  Hughes 
SMC's  flag  in  the  administra- 
tion building  mall  was  lowered 
to  half-mast  Feb.  5.  After  22 
years  of  service  at  SMC,  Dr. 
Everett  Watrous,  professor  of 
history,  died  at  Chattanooga's 
Diagnostic  Center  after  a  mas- 
sive heart  attack. 

Students  are  familiar  with  the 
memory  of  the  Dr.  Watrous  of 
the  1960's — dry  wit,  personal 
interest  in  students,  and  his 
wise,  fatherly  counsel.  Students 
were  amazed  that  he  remem- 
bered them  so  well,  calling  them 
by  their  first  names,  recalling 
their  problems,  and  helping 
them  to  solutions. 

His  counseling,  leaching,  and 
association  with  students  and 
faculty  were  <  (implelelv  devoid 
of  self.  He  thought,  talked,  and 
acted  in  terms  of  others,  par- 
ticularly    students     and     their 

That  was  the  Dr.  Watrous  of 
"now,"  but  few  students  know 
anything  about  the  Dr.  Wat- 
rous of  "then."  Dr.  Watrous 
was  born  in  Middletown,  Con- 
necticut on  May  21,  1905.  As 
he  grew  to  high  school  age,  he 


became  interested  in  sports. 

At  this  time,  however,  his 
mother  became  a  Seventh-day 
Adventist,  and  eventually  he 
was  persuaded  to  attend  At- 
lantic Union  College.  He  earned 
his  way  through  college  and  re- 
ceived a  bachelor  of  religious 
education  degree  in  1928.  Later 
he  returned  and  completed  re- 
quirements for  a  bachelor  of 
arts  degree. 

During  the  school  year  of 
1928-29,  Dr.  Watrous  taught 
English  at  Pine  Tree  Academy, 
Auburn,  Maine.  On  August  14, 
1929.  he  was  united  in  marriage 
with  Myrtle  Adelene  Brown  at 
Bridgeport,  Conn. 

From  1930  to  1945  the  Wat- 
rouses  were  employed  by  the 
Office  of  Indian  Affairs,  U.  S. 
Dept.  of  Interior,  and  taught 
Eskimo,  Aleut,  and  Indian  chil- 

Their  only  son.  Arthur  Leroy. 
was  born  in  1930  as  the  first 
while  child  born  north  of  the 
Arctic  Circle  in  U.  S.  territory. 

Behind  Dr.  Watrous'  serene 
face  in  the  classroom  was  stored 
a  collection  of 
few     students     knew 


While  taking  their  copies  of  a 
marriage  and  the  family  test 
from  the  top  of  a  stack,  how 
many  students  would  imagine 
that  Dr.  Watrous  was  once  the 
superintendent  of  a  reindeer 
herd,  attorney  for  the  Alaskan 
and  Indian  natives,  operated  a 
health  clinic,  superintended  the 
building  of  a  dam,  or  established 
an  Indian  reservation? 

After  teaching  at  Auburn 
Academy,  Auburn,  Washing- 
ton, for  two  years.  Dr.  Watrous 
came  to  SMC  as  dean  of  men  in 
1948.  In  1959  he  was  appointed 
chairman  of  the  social  science 
division,  and  in  1967  he  became 
director  of  guidance  and  coun- 
seling, also  continuing  to  teach 

Dr.  Watrous  earned  his  mas- 
ter of  arts  degree  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago  in  1941,  and 
his  doctor's  degree  from  the 
University  of  Tennessee  in 
1954. 

Elder  John  Loor,  pastor  of  the 
Collegedale  Seventh-day  Ad- 
ventist Church  officiated  at  the 
funeral  on  Feb.  9. 

A  memorial  fund  for  deserv- 
ing students  has  been  de-i^n.ited 
in  Dr.  Watrous'  name.  The  fund 
is  to  be  supported  by  family  and 
friends. 

In  honor  of  this  teacher, 
friend,  and  counselor,  a  certifi- 
cate and  pin  were  presented  to 
Mrs.  Watrous  at  a  faculty.

Porter  wrote  in  the  Washington 
Post:  "Jon  Robertson  ...  has 
that  extra  something  belonging 
to  the  musically  great— an  ex- 
citing sensitivity  to  the  charac- 
ter of  music." 

And  speaking  of  his  perform- 
ance through  his  column  in  the 
Athens  (Greece)  National  Trib- 
une, John  Jiannoutis  said:  "Mr. 
Robertson,  a  distinguished 
American    Pianist,   whom   it  is 


spoke"  with  colorful  rich  sound 
in  perfect  technique  with  poetry 
and  sensitivity."

specialist,  1965-67.  Now  a  jun-

that,  "SDA  servicemen,  living 
and  dead,  have  helped  propel 
this  country  to  new  and  greater 
heights  throughout  the  world  by 
their  boldness,  vigor,  and  stead- 
fast endurance  in  trial.  We  feel 
that  this  program  will  give  new 
insights  into  what  SDA  service- 
men are  really  doing  for  God 
and  country.  Today  we  must 
serve  that  our  people  may  have 
peace  tomorrow.  It  is  for  this 
reason  that  we  pay  tribute  to 
our  SDA  men  in  uniform."

Commentary 


let's  Have  a  Georgia-Cumberland  Day 

Georgia-Cumberland  Conference  students  are  wondering 
why  they  haven't  had  any  Georgia-Cumberland  Conierence  Day, 
as  have  the  Carolina,  Alabama-Mississippi,  and  Florida  students, 
and  had  the  opportunity  of  meeting  and  greeting  their  officials. 

Where  are  the  Georgia-Cumberland  Conference  officials? 
Do  they  already  know  all  their  student  representatives?  Maybe 
they  already  have  enough  teachers,  pastors,  and  secretaries  and 
don't  have  to  worry  about  getting  acquainted  with  upcoming 
personnel. 

It  seems  as  if  other  conferences'  officials  don't  mind  the  home 
conferences'  lack  of  get-togethers,  however.  The  "foreigners" 
plan  free  buffet  suppere,  picture-taking  sessions,  and  pep-talking 
efforts  with  obvious  enjoyment,  eliciting  promises  of  future  em- 
ployment from  any  student  they  can — even  those  of  Georgia- 
Cumberland. 

Meanwhile,  Georgia-Cumberland  students  get  out  their 
school  calendars  and  run  their  fingers  through  the  weeks — March, 
ApriL  May.  No  get-together  listed!  Well,  they  decide,  our  Geor- 
gia-Cumberland Conference  Day  is  probably  just  not  listed. 

They  try  to  forget  about  all  the  persuasive  men  from  Caro- 
lina, Florida,  and  other  conferences  who  say.  "Come  to  our  con- 
ference when  you  graduate,"  remembering  that  somewhere  there 
are  Georgia-Cumberland  Conference  men  who  might  want  them 
to  stay  in  this  conference,  and  who  might  c 
acquainted!

Smuts  on  the  Gate 
Dear  Editor: 


making  the  Gate  the 
troversy.  Those  of  us  wl 
.'ed  down  on  McCallie  A 


college  life  it  c 

many  other  organizations  on 
campus  to  try  to  make  the  SA 
the  biggest  one.  The  sooner  peo- 
ple realize  this,  the  better  life 
will  be  for  everyone. 

A  Student  Association  should 
be,  primarily,  a  student  service 
organization.  This  involves 
planning  for  various  Saturday 
night  activities,  planning  intra- 
mural games,  producing  publi- 
cations, providing  an  opportu- 
nity for  leadership,  and  giving 
a  voice  to  the  students.  These 
are  not  the  only  functions, 
naturally,  but  service  should  be 
she. see!  moix'  lli.in  unproductive 
iioisp. making  which  often  gives 
the  illusion  of  progress  and 
activity. 

There  is  one  attitude  on  cam-

among  some  of  titose  members

say,  and  say  it  loudly.  This  at- 
titude is  one  of  constant  seeking 
for  a  chance  to  suppress  or  beat 
down  anything  that  crosses  their 
paths,  especially  the  SA. 

I  am  speaking,  specifically,  of 
some  of  those  who  oppose  the 
new  constitution  on  the  ground; 
that  it  allows  too  much  freedom 
of  action.    Lack  of  titis  freedom 
is    probably    the    most   trouble- 
some problem  of  this  year's  ad- 
ministration and  those  in  years 
past.    Too  much  time  is  taken 
hunting  through  a  24-page  cc 
stitution  to  make  sure  no  o 
will  cry,  "Unconstitutional!" 

This  is  a  terrific  handicap, 
anyone  who  has   had   to  wo 
under    it    will    tell    you.     T 
leaders'  time  should  lie  spent 
planning  and  promoting  actr 
ties  in  accordance  with  a  few 
basic     guidelines     rather    than 
constantly   haggling  with  trou- 
ble-making   members    and    the 

Those  who  have  been  on  the 

college  scene  long  enough  to  be 
able  to  observe  will  tell  anyor 
that  students  work  best  under 
simple  constitution  because 
there  is  much  more  time  avail- 
able for  planning  and  carrying 

This  spirit  of  suppression 
could  very  easily  be  replaced 
with  a  spirit  of  support,  if  only 
people  were  willing  to  do  it.  If 
the  students  and  the  press  would 
stop  their  constant  look-oul  for 
mistakes  and  gel  behind  the  Stu- 
dent Association,  it  would  grovv 
and   progress.     This  is  what  I 

It  is  still  not 
complish  our  goal  this  year; 
however,  I  hope  you  wi 
sider  these  thoughts  and  p"1 
them  into  action  for  the  re- 
mainder of  this  year  so  nes 
year's  administration  will  »'"' 
a  firm  foundation  and  a  running 
start  on  a  productive  year.

Professor's  Spare  Time  Project 


By  Lynda  Hughes 

Behind  the  instructor'! 
lands  a  small,  enthusiastic, 
niddle-aged  man  with  very 
short  hair,  looking  through 
;  with  exceptionally  per- 
ceptive eyes. 

Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin,  professor 
of  physics,  spends  his  school 
with  relativity,  optics, 
spectroscopes,  refraction  of  light, 
properties  of  gases,  and  wishing 
itudents  would  study  harder. 

What  does  an  intellectual 
who  has  been  at  SMC  15  years 
do  with  his  "spare"  time? 
"Come  to  my  house — I'll  show 
you,"  says  Dr.  Hefferlin,  flash- 
ing an  ear-to-ear  type  smile. 

Outside  of  the  science  build- 
ing stands  his  car — a  blue  and 
white  1956  Chevrolet  station 
wagon  boasting  152,000  miles. 
"This  car  may  look  interesting," 
says  Dr.  Hefferlin,  "but  wait 
until  you  see  my  house!" 

He  explained  that  the  house 
he  and  his  wife  and  three 
daughters  {aged  11,  9,  2)  live 
in  is  something  like  a  home- 
stead. They  bought  it  in  Feb- 
ruary of  1966  when  it  had  been 
deserted  five  years  before,  and 
vandalized  two  years  before. 

"When  my  wife  first  saw  this 
place,"  Dr.  Hefferlin  continues, 
"she  fell  in  love  with  it."  He 
turned  the  car  onto  a  mud, 
gravel,  and  leaves  jeep  road  and 
bounced  through  mudholes  and 


"It  really  means  something  to 
come  home  from  school  and 
walk  on  this  road,"  he  says.  "I 
really  feel  close  to  God  here." 

Dr.  Hefferlin  feels  that  God 
played  a  definite  part  in  their 
move  to  this  80-acre  wooded 
land  from  their  ten-room  house 
with  swimming  |innl  on  Prospect 
Church  Rd.  "Our  children  are 
at  the  age  where  they  like  to 
walk  in  the  woods,"  he  said. 
"The  area  where  we  used  to  live 
is  getting  too  'built  up,'  " 

Dr.  Hefferlin  and  his  wife, 
Inelda,  were  not  satisfied  with  a 
five-years'  deserted, 
vandalized  house 
They  repaired  and  redecorated 
the  house,  leaving  its  distinct 
features  such  as  a  wood  stove 
and  60-foot  well.  "We  want  it 
to  give  the  message,  'I'm  com- 
fortable but  not  plush.'  " 

This  "not  plush"  idea  is  an- 
other of  the  reasons  the  Hrl'lVr- 


the  wildei 


At  i 


ness.  "We  are  trying  to  fight 
the  American  concept  of  middle- 
class  wealth  and  status.  Where 
we  are  we  occasionally  have  to 
fight  for  water,  road  use,  and 
freedom  from  weeds.  We  don't 
sit  around  wondering  what  to 
buy  next  for  ourselves." 

Two  other  reasons  they 
moved  were  the  attitudes  of 
Apison  residents  toward  Sev- 
enth-day Adventists,  and  the 
tendency  of  Collegedale  SDA's 
toward  "provincialism." 

Dr.  Hefferlin  feels  that 
through    community    activities

idents  and  not  huddle 
tight  little  group  of  church  peo- 
ple who  work  together,  play  to- 
gether, and  go  out  and  do  mis- 
sionary work  together.  They 
want  their  children  to  grow  up 
knowing  there  are  other  people 
in  the  world  besides  those  they 
go  to  church  with. 

Dr.  Hefferlin  says  that  he  was 
surprised  at  his  wife's  hidden 
pioneer  abilities — canning  jar 
after  jar  of  food,  clearing 
ground,  and  just  making  the 
wilderness  look  homey. 

Ironically,  he  adds  that  he  has 
learned  some  things  he  never 
expected  to — doctoring  a  dog 
and  horse,  running  a  chain  saw, 
and  putting  in  a  pump. 

What  amazes  the  Hefferlins 
is  that  they  now  have  what 
many  S50,000-a-year  income 
families  long  for — a  little  house 
in  the  peace  and  quiet  of  nature. 
"Yet,"  he  says,  "my  salary  is 
certainly  not'remarkable.  God 
has  been  good  to  us." 


Black's  "King  Speech'  Caps 
Oakwood's  Recent  Program 


By  Joe  Priest 

Just  a  few  nights  ago  here  at 
SMC,  Oakwood  College  pre- 
sented a  program  called  "Dark 
Flowers"  sponsored  by  the  Oak- 
wood  English  Club.  Despite  a 
few  inconveniences  such  as  mis- 
plricni"  their  sponsor  along  with 
all  their  carefully  prepared  pro- 
grams, the  evening  was  a  rous- 
ing success.  An  audience  of 
about  300  viewed  and  listened  to 
literature  by  both  professional 
Black  writers  and  poets,  and  stu- 
dents at  Oakwood  College.  The 
poems  ranged  from  the  mildly 
reminiscent  to  the  utterly  im- 
passioned as  various  mythologi- 
cal gods  and  goddesses  were 
called  upon  to  witness  the  tor- 
ments that  love  was  inflicting 
upon  the  poet  quoted. 

Several  items  highlighted  the 
evening.      Among    them    were

A  "stop  smoking"  clinic  was  held  Feb.  23-26  at  The  Jewish 
Community  Center.  The  clinic  was  sponsored  by  the  SMC  chapter 
of  The  American  Temperance  Society. 

Materials  for  the  program  have  been  contributed  by  l^natta-

the  poems  were  read  by  a  fine 
musician  whose  name  I  failed  to 
apprehend,  and  a  stunning  fi- 
nale given  by  Senior  Theology 
Major  Barry  Black. 

He  did  entirely  from  memory 
the  complete  last  speech  of  Dr. 
Martin  Luther  King  in  Mem- 
phis. Tennessee,  when  Dr.  King 
was  campaigning  for  salary  and 
benefit  increases  for  black"  sani- 
tation workers.  I  shall  never 
forget  the  introductory  sentence 
Black  used  to  introduce  this 
speech.  He  said,  "I  would  like 
for  each  of  you  present  tonight 
to  imagine  that  you  are  a  black 
sanitation  worker  at  a  meeting 
which  you  know  is  placing  your 
life  in  danger.  I  realize  that  this 
may  be  a  traumatic  experience 
for  some  of  you." 

With  that  he— and  I  can 
think  of  no  better  word— he 
lunged  into  the  speech,  and  the 
fact  that  Black  has  an  extra- 
ordinary speaking  voice  in  no 
vay  detracted  from  his   highly 


dramatic    and 

delivery.    I  would  like

An  example  of  recent  import-

Will  the  Neat  Constitution  Work? 

Now  that  the  new  constitution  is  in  effect,  we  will  actually 
see  if  it  will  help  matters  any.  The  question  of  whether  or  not  the 
constitution  would  pass  never  really  bothered  us,  for  once  it  had 
Senate  approval,  most  opposition  was  satisfied.  What  we  ques- 
tion, however,  is  whether  or  not  the  new  constitution  will  work. 

SA  administrations  in  the  past  have  delighted  in  blaming 
the  old  constitutional  monstrosity  (6  pages,  plus  by-laws)  for 
all  the  ills  of  the  SA.  Its  strict  legal  rules  made  it  hard  for  anyone 
to  step  out  of  line  without  stepping  out  from  under  the  constitu- 
tion. Will  future  administrations  blame  the  new  constitution  for 
their  ills,  too?  And  if  so,  will  it  be  worthwhile  getting  a  new 
constitution  ii  it  will  still  cause  trouble? 

The  new  constitution  places  a  great  deal  of  power  in  the 
Senate,  as  they  are  the  ones  who  are  to  interpret  the  constitution, 
and  adopt  a  set  of  guidelines  every  year.  Will  the  Senate,  under 
the  new  constitution,  have  enough  backbone  and  muscle  to  sup- 
port this  heavier  load?  Senates  in  the  past  haven't  distinguished 
themselves  with  their  great  strength  in  carrying  the  load  of  the 
SA.    How  about  future  Senates? 

Granted  that  the  Senate  will  be  changed  by  having  fewer 
members,  elected  at-large  the  spring  before  their  term  the  next 
year.  This  will  mean,  supposedly,  that  it  wifl  take  someone  quite 
well-known  to  win  a  seal,  and  that  freshmen  will  be  virtually  non- 
existent in  the  new  Senate.     Perhaps  this  is  one  of  the  greatest 

A  new  committee  has  been  added  under  the  new  constitution 
— student  services.  It's  about  time  that  SA  administrations  real- 
ized that  the  object  of  the  SA  was  not  to  sponsor  a  debating  so- 
ciety every  two  weeks  in  Senate,  but  rather,  to  provide  student 
services  for  the  student.  In  the  past,  student  services,  when  there 
were  any,  were  left  to  the  discretion  of  the  executive  members  to 
effect.  And  as  they  already  had  their  tasks  outlined,  supposedly, 
they  hardly  had  time  to  further  burden  themselves.  Under  the 
new  constitution,  these  little,  but  important,  tasks  are  the  sole 
responsibility  of  a  committee,  so  maybe  things  will  get  done.  This 
could  be  another  great  innovation. 

But  one  thing  hasn't  been  changed  by  the  new  constitution. 
This  is  the  matter  of  personnel.  No  SA  can  hope  to  accomplish 
anything  if  it  does  not  have  effective  leadership.  And  it  must 
have  this  leadership  from  the  top  to  the  bottom.  It's  going  to  take 
students  who  are  willing  to  sacrifice — sacrifice  time,  money,  and 
perhaps  even  grades  to  better  the  atmosphere  here  on  our  cam- 
pus. It's  going  to  take  students  who  are  civic-minded — those  who 
will  be  willing  to  help  others.  It's  going  to  take  students  who  are 
unselfish — those  who  are  working  not  for  personal  glory,  but  to 
help  others. 

Election  time  is  almost  here.  Filing  week  has  been  an- 
nounced, and  is  now  in  progress.  All  the  offices  are  up  for  grabs. 
Think  twice  before  refusing  to  ran. 

The  SA  Is  Viable 

It's  well-known  that  the  student  body  of  SMC  is  capable  of 
standing  back  and  criticizing,  under  the  name  of  constructiveness, 
the  SA  administration  and  all  its  struggles  for  progress. 

Collectively  we  criticize  the  SA.  So,  politely  the  officials  hold 
an  assembly  meeting  to  give  us  a  chance  to  take  part,  to  make 
suggestions,  to  HELP!  to  SUPPORT!  So  what  do  the  students  do? 
We  glance  at  our  watches  every  five  minutes,  hoping  to  get  out 
early  so  we  can  hurry  away  and  do  the  nothing  we  had  planned 
to  do  during  the  assembly  hour  anyway. 

11  the  SA  assembly  doesn't  move  according  to  the  dictates  of 
impatient  "supporters,"  some  raucous  voice  hollers  out  from  the 
back  of  the  auditorium  and  interrupts,  *1  move  that  we  AD 
IOUHN!"  It  matters  not  whether  an  officer  was  in  the  middle  of 
a  sentence. 
\  We  hack  away  at  the  SA,  pick  at  the  officers,  laugh  at  their 

'senate  meetings,  veto  their  ideas  for  progress—then  sit  back  and 
what-a-pity  the  fact  that  no  one  wants  to  run  for  office.  Iron- 
ically, the  front  of  the  last  Accent  said,  "Elections  are  coming! 

Plan  now  to  run."     That  is  what  most  everyone  is  doing,  too 

running.  Would  YOU  be  an  officer  of  our  organization  which 
w©  are  giving  such  a  hard  time? 

)  know  how  to  criticize,  but  do  w©  know  how  to 

ist  tradition  to  pick  apart  the  SA?

RUrJWitfs  TWESA  , ,  , 


Of  all  the  cliches  that  I  stum- 
ble over  in  day  to  day  living, 
the  one  which  I  detest  above  all 
others  is  "Experience  is  the  best 
teacher."  Oddly  enough.  I've 
discovered  that  experience  can 
totally  unfit  one  for  ever  learn- 
ing anything.  Drive  your  car 
into  a  tree  and  kill  yourself  and 
what  have  you  learned?  It  was 
a  wild  experience,  dying,  but 
then  they  carry  you  out  feet 
first  to  slow  music  and  now  you 
know  nothing  at  all.  Blow  your 
mind  on  LSD  and  you  may  un- 
fit yourself  for  making  any  ra- 
tional decisions  for  the  next  six 
months.  Break  a  leg  and  de- 
stroy— for  yourself — the  more 
profitable  and  normal  experi- 
ences of  sports,  walking,  run- 
ning, and  so  forth.  Some  ex- 
periences can  be  good  teachers, 
but  most  experience  is  more 
likely  to  damage  than  to  im- 

If  experience  were  really  the 
best  teacher,  this  school  would 
close  up  and  throw  us  all  back 
onto  the  streets.  Education  from 


Reade 


bunks  and  teacher;;,  panic  nlarly 
Christian  ones,  is  designed  to 
keep  us  from  having  too  many 
bad  experiences.  This  school  is 
preventive  medicine  for  the 
soul -destroying,  body-breaking, 
and  mind-bending  we  will  in- 
evitably encounter  elsewhere. 

All  of  this  brings  us  to  a  date. 
April  the  first.  Try  as  I  may, 
I  have  never  encountered  before 
in  my  life  any  institution  that 
actually  set  a  date  when  "good 
grooming"  and  "proper  dress 
standards"  were  to  go  into  ef- 
fect. It  sounds  like  a  certain 
mythical  king's  commands  to 
the  tide. 

Every  student  at  this  college 
is  acquainted  with  the  grooming 
and  dress  principles  and  stand- 
ards of  SMC.  Each  of  us  knows 
the  school  regulations  regarding 
hair  length  and  beards  for  men, 
and  skirt  lengths  for  women. 
None  of  us  are  entitled 
ignorance  of  the  law. 

Granted,  many  of

these  rules  as  they  no 


For. 


But  this  disagreement  does  not 
allow  us  to  disregard  these  rules 
while  they  are  still  in  effect 
And  most  of  us  do  pay  proper 
respect  to  these  guidelines.  I  do 
not  think  that  any  faculty  mem- 
ber honestly  believes  that  a 
sizable  number  of  SMC  students 
are  involved  or  affected  by  this 
"new"  hardrock  deadline.  Nor 
does  the  aware  student  believe 
that  his  single,  individual  opin- 
ion— considered  or  otherwise — 
is  an  actuality  superior  to  the 
collective  judgment  of  involved 
teachers.  Teachers  who  have 
made  more  than  an  honest  ef- 
fort to  understand  the  problem 
and  who  have  personally  gone 
where  the  problems  are  and 
tried  to  solve  them. 

To  the  teachers  who  intend  to 
eradicate  all  above  -  the  -  knee 
hemlines,  who  feel  a  fervent 
zeal  to  wipe  out  all  longer-than- 
average  sideburns,  and  stand 
forever  opposed  to  beards  at  any 
time  for  any  reason  I  give  the 
same  advice  I  would  to  a  stu- 
dent who  intends  to  have  his 
own  ill-advised  way  no  matter 
what  the  counsel  of  his  friends.

Accent:   There's   been    much 
talk  recently  about  Ihe  youth's 
ct  on  our  society.    Is  Faith 
for  Today    doing    anything    to 
tailor  its  programs  to  ihe  youth? 
Fagal:  We  definitely  are  try- 
ng  to  be  youth-oriented,  and  we 
take  up  youth  problems.     The 
ram    we    filmed    last   week 
a   hippie  in   it.     We   have 
been  facing  sumo  almost  dangor- 
problems   that   we   haven't 
thought  of  touching  in  the  past. 
We  had  a  program  on  the  prob- 
lems of  an  un-wed  mother  not 
long  ago.     We're  facing  a 
of    these    very    nit  I  v -gritty 
ihmgs,  and  trying  to  put  them 
the    program.      These    are 
youth -oriented. 

Accent:  How  many  of  your 
cader-retum  mail  is  from  those 
under  25? 

Fagal:  We  found  that  three 
fourlhs  of  the  students  that  take 
Bible  Course  are  between 
the  ages  of  16  and  30,  so  we 
feel  that  we  are  reaching  the 

Accent:  How  are  youtii  af- 
fecting the  SDA  Church  as  a 
whole? 

Fagal:  I  believe  that  we  are 

becoming  more  youth-oriented, 
'ndicated  by  youth  center- 
's and  many  youth  meet- 
.    And  this  is  healthy.    We 

have  to  save  our  youth,  or  the 

church  is  lost  entirely. 


l   is   the  church 
doing  to  adapt  to  these  times? 

Fagal:  The  world  is  changing. 
It's  a  different  world  today  than 
the  world  in  which  I  was  born, 
that's  for  sure.  And  I  see  it 
changing.  Sometimes  I  hardly 
understand  what's  happening,  it 
takes  a  while  for  me  to  compre- 
hend what's  going  on.  Now,  if 
we  don't  change  our  methods 
and  approach,  we're  dead.  We'll 
lose  contact  with  people.  Take 
for  instance  Faith  for  Today, 
id  the  things  we  did  when  we 


first  i 


If  i 


doing  these  things  today,  we 
wouldn't  be  successful  at  all. 
We've  had  to  change  constantly. 
We'll  have  to  always  be  this 
way.  Not  that  we're  giving  up 
any  portion  of  the  message,  Cod 
forbid,  but  we're  changing  in 
order  to  reach  people  where  they 
are,  and  reaching  them  as  they 
think  and  where  they  think,  and 


showing  them  tha  t  we  have 
wmclhing  that  will  meet  their 
present  needs  at  the  present 
hour.  We  must  never  stand 
still. 

Accent:  How  does  a  preacher 
feel  about  the  Week  of  Prayer? 

Fagal:  I  am  very  conscious 
of  the  fact  that  there  are  stu- 
dents in  our  schools  that  don't 
have  a  great  interest  in  religious 
matters,  and  I  try  to  gear  my 
message  to  them.  The  others 
we  already  have,  but  these,  who 
treat  the  whole  thing  in 'a  blase 
way,  we  don't  have.  And  they 
are  the  ones  I'd  like  to  get.  Jesus 
Christ  does  have  something  lo 
offer  to  them  today.  In  all  my 
messages,  you  will  notice  that 
I'm  not  trying  to  condemn,  try- 
ing to  depress.  Sin  in  a  person's 
conscience  is  pretty  much  of  a 
condemnation.  And  I'm  trying 
always  to  encourage  "You  don't 
have  to  give  up."  I'm  trying  to 
get  them  to  see  that  they  can 
be  a  Christian,  that  life  does 
have  something  to  offer.  We  try 
to  crystalize  their  thinking  a 
little  bit.  To  have  a  meeting 
and  not  let  a  person  have  a 
chance  to  make  some  kind  of 
decision  to  give  their  hearts 
would  be  tragic. 

Accent:  What  do  you  offer  to 
the  student  that  is  already  living 
a  Christian  life? 

Fagal:  We  want  to  strengthen 
his  resolve.  We  want  to  make 
him  more  certain  that  he  is 
right  in  what  he  decided.     This

Cheryl's  450-word  "Insight —

cal-type  essay,  comparing  the 
simple  dreams  of  Hemingway's 
"The  Old  Man  and  the  Sea" 
character  with  the  youth  of  to- 
day—"the  gad-abouts,  the  ex-

Not  only  has  Cheryl  had 
three  writing  courses  and  been 
to  an  equal  number  of  colleges, 
she  has  taught  church  school  for

Commenting  on  the  relativity 
Studies,  Dr.  Hefferlin  says  that 
scientists  are  able  to  learn  much 
about  relativity  through  studies 
of  the  phenomenon  whereby 
-l.it -light  coming  from  d" 
stars  is  "bent"  when  it  passes 
the  sun.  This  "bend"  is  noticed 
when  star  photographs  taken 
during  an  eclipse  are  compared 
willi  photographs  taken  .it  night. 

Regarding  studies  of  the 
moon's  geography.  Dr.  Hefferlin 
says  that  "as  the  moon  passes 
between  the  sun  and  the  earth 
pin 1 1 (graphs  are  taken  of  the 
moon's  edge  and  from  these  pic- 
tures the  height  of  the  moon's 
mountains  can  be  measured  al- 
most  exactly." 

"As  the  moon's  shadow  moves 
through  the  earth's  atmosphere 
at  2  or  3  times  the  speed  of 
sound  scientists  are  listening  to 
see  if  a  shock  wave  develops," 
says  Dr.  Hefferlin. 

"Of  special  interest  to  biolo- 
gists," says  Dr.  Hefferlin,  "is  the 
behaviour  and  reactions  of  ani- 
mal life  to  the  sudden  'night'."

Normally,  SMC  is  repre- 
sented at  tins  event  by  the  win- 
'  its  local  talent  program,

Commentary 


Welcome  to  SMC,  seniors.  You've  come  a  long  way,  to  say 
the  least.  It  wasn't  so  very  long  ago  that  grade  school  was  the 
order  of  the  day.  Then  came  academy,  and  the  somewhat 
frightening  but  exhilarating  thought  that  you  WERE  growing  up. 
And  now,  in  just  a  short  month  or  so,  you  will  be  leaving  those 
halls  for  the  last  time. 

Ahead,  (or  most  of  you,  lies  college.  We,  like  everyone  else 
here,  hope  that  you  will  make  SMC  your  home  for  the  next  four 
years.  Like  us,  you  will  probably  never  be  sorry  that  you  did 
so,  either. 

College  is  something  that  you  have  never  been  subjected  to 
before.  College  is  different.  These  few  days  that  you  spend 
here  now  will  not  totally  initiate  you  into  college  life.  In  fact, 
you  will  find  next  year  that  it  may  take  the  full  year  to  adjust  to 


this  ii 


of  living. 


t  means  studying  like 
A  socializing,  whether 
esidents  of  that  dorm 
such  un-earthly  hours 


pus,  college  means  many  things, 
had  to  before.  It  means  hours 
ssions  in  the  dorm,  or  with  the 
3  maU.  College  means  labs  at 
clock  Sunday  morning  or  seven 
o'clock  Wednesday  night.  But  college  also  means  Sunday  after- 
noons in  the  gym,  playing  four-on-four  half-court  basketball.  And 
college  may  mean  a  stroll,  hand-in-hand,  through  the  student 

You  will  find  that  college  means  different  things  to  different 
people.  And  it  has  to  be  that  way  when  there  are  1300  attending 
one  school.  No  longer  can  an  administration,  student  or  other- 
wise, plan  activities  for  everyone  at  once.  And  no  longer  can  one 
participate  in  everything  that  happens.  College  is  the  place  where 
one  does  his  own  thing — and  tries  to  do  it  well. 

In  closing,  we  hope  that  you  truly  enjoy  your  stay  here  at 
SMC  during  College  Days.  And  we  hope  that  you  will  make 
definite  plans  to  attend  SMC  next  year,  and  through  the  ensuing 
years.  As  a  parting  note,  we'd  like  to  add:  "Go  to  the  college  of 
your  choice,  as  long  as  it's  SMC!" 


looking  Into  Insight 

Making  its  debut  May  5  is  INSIGHT,  a  magazine  s 
fresh  and  candid  approach  by  church  leaders  to  ■ 
with  the  youth  of  the  church  between  the  ages  of  17  and  22,  We 
look  forward  with  anticipation  to  the  arrival  of  this  new  publica- 
tion, but  we  no  less  have  many  questions  about  it. 

Will  INSIGHT  succeed  where  its  predecessor,  THE  YOUTH'S 
INSTRUCTOR,  failed  in  attracting  response  and  support  of 
"young"  people?  Will  the  magazine  be  able  to  keep  its  seem- 
ingly inane  weekly  pace  and  stilt  maintain  a  high-quality  and 
thought-provoking  presentation?  Are  there  enough  trained  and 
talented  writers,  sensitive  to  needs  and  tastes  of  today's  Christian 
youth  and  daring  enough  to  venture  into  and  discuss  the  here- 
tofore avoided  questions  and  issues  of  our  time,  to  stock  such  a 
magazine  with  the  phenomenal  number  of  manuscripts  it  needs? 
No  doubt,  we  could  continue  with  such  probes,  and  no  doubt 
wo  will  at  a  later  time.  But  for  now  the  ACCENT,  hopefully  find- 
ing ourselves  by  others  concerned  about  this  new  magazine  and, 
generally  speaking,  all  attempts  of  the  church  to  communicate 
with  its  youth,  will  set  its  questions  {and  its  ever-present  doubts) 
aside  for  a  period  of  simple  observation.  To  our  readers,  we 
propose  the  same. 
\  If  you  do  not  receive  a  copy  of  INSIGHT'S  first  edition,  find 

a  copy  somewhere  and  read  it,  Find  out  for  yourself  whether 
or  not  it  is  everything  you  had  hoped  or  had  been  told  it  would 
be.  Don't  accept  the  magazine  passively,  but  examine  its  pages 
carelully,  and  if  you  find  something  that  appeals  to  your  tastes, 
he  editors  expressing  your  approval,  and 
-ething  that  you  differ  with,  be  prompt  to 
'  by  letter  or  even  an  article,  logically 


and  factually  presented. 

Nothing  we  can  say 

failure  o!  INSIGHT,  but  w 

this  publication's  fate.    0

H"  IT? 


As  one  whose  ear  is  more  oi- 
lers sensitive  to  such  things  I 
have  noticed  that  the  so-called 
"southern"  accent,  which  should 
predominate  conversation  here 
a!  SMC  seems  most  conspicuous 
by  its  absence.     Its  obvious  ab- 

1've  been  conducting  a  per- 
sonal poll  around  campus.  It 
goes  something  like  this: 

"Say,  you  don't  sound  like 
you're  from  the  south?" 

"I'm  not.  I'm  from  Cali- 
fornia. My  folks  live  only  a 
mile  or  so  from  PUC." 

Or,  the  conversation  may  take 


this 


■  you  here  last  : 


"Nope.  Transferred  from 
AU." 

A  little  more  research  began 
to  indicate  that  around  one  out 
of  every  three  students  did  not 
reside  in  the  Southern  Union. 
Himri.  s,nd  I  to  myself  .  .  .  in- 
teresting. 

Some  nosing  around  the  cam- 
pus grapevine  indicated  that  not 
only  was  it  interesting,  but 
several  of  our  other  unions  were 
more  than  just  mildly  perturbed 
over  the  problem.  Rumor  even 
has  it  that  one  union  refused  to 
permit  one  of  its  academies  to 
••end  ,i  bus- load  ,-,f  seniors  to  the 


annual  SMC  college  days  pro- 
gram. Again  said  I  to  myself. 
AHA!  Interesting.  Velly  In- 
telestink. 

How  come?  The  Southern 
Union  is  hardly  the  richest  of 
the  continental  unions.  SMC  is 
not  the  largest  and  best  equipped 
college.  And — while  its  campus 
is  beautiful — other  campuses  are 
also  beautiful  and  can  beat  Ten- 
nessee all  hollow  for  climate. 

Other  colleges  have  graduate 
degree  programs  and  poor  little 
SMC  boasts  none.  Oho  ....  said 
I,  the  plot  sickens. 

I  wonder  why,  I  wonder  why 
ah 

And  suddenly  my  scizo- 
phreniz  resolved  itself  as  I  an- 
swered myself  in  this  fashion: 

"I  dunno  why  all  these  other 
idiots  are  here,  but  I  do  know 
why  I  am.  I  prefer  their  com- 
pany and  after  seeing  and  com- 
paring, I'd  rather  be  here  than 
any  other  place.  Rational  about 
this  thing  I  am  not.  I  like  it 
better  here." 

Yeah,  I  like  it  better  here  be- 
cause there  is  something  about 
SMC 

....  something  indefinable, 
something  one  can  only  feel, 
something  that — whatever  it  is 
— somebody  else  feels  too.

Smart  Shoppe-SMCs  Pearl     |      C3Snt>US  beat 


Some   students    ha 
been  there.    Some  students  ha 
been  there  twice.  Most  students, 
however,    are    still    wondei  ing. 
asking  questions. 

The  Smart  Shoppe  is  like  a 
pearl  in  an  oyster  shell.  You 
walk  down  to  the  end  of  the 
campus  to  what  must  now  cer- 
tainly be  the  least  attractive 
building  around — Jones  Hall, 
walk  in  the  front  door,  up  the 
squeaky  stairs,  and  there  you 
see  it. 

Showing  through  the  open 
door  are  the  green  shag  carpet 
under  a  cheery  red  desk  and  Inn- 
benches.  A  modern  painting 
brightens  the  wall  and  a  sculp- 
ture one  of  the  tables;  a  very 
distinctive  red  and  black  crea- 
tion partitions  the  shop  from  the 
regular  old  hallway. 

Mrs.  Ruth  Zoerb,  former 
SMC  art  teacher,  has  also  di- 
rected decoration  of  the  shop's 
three  other  rooms — except  may- 
be the  workroom.  It  looks  like 
a  workroom.  However,  the

SMC's  Wright  Hall  Art  Exhibits 
Feature  Photography  in  March 


"On  the  Indian  Road,' 
pholo  display  by  Dr.  M.  D. 
C(ini|)hi.-ll,  professor  of  chemis- 
try at  Southern  Missionary  Col- 
lege, was  on  exhibit  at  the  col- 
lege on  the  second  floor  of  the 
adniinisli-aticiri  building,  Wright 
Hall,  through  March. 

Dr.  Campbell's  photos  de- 
picted various  aspects  of  the 
lives  of  Poona,  India,  residents 
such  as  leprosy  victims.  Indian 
jewelry,  dress,  and  children. 

He  spent  six  years  (1963-68) 
at  Spicer  Memorial  College, 
Poona,    as    chairman    of    the 

structor  in  the  high  school  chem- 
istry department.  During  this 
time— abut  four  years  ago — his 
interest  in  photography  was 
aroused  through  photographic 
work  with  die  school's  first 
yearbook. 

Some  of  the  Indian  students 
at  the  college  also  became  in- 
terested in  photographic  arts 
through  working  with  Dr. 
Campbell. 

Dr.  Campbell  especially  likes 
to  photograph  faces,  hands,  and 


feet  because  they  "tell  the  whole 
story  of  the  person."  In  this 
exhibit — the  first  time  it  has 
1"vn  displayed — the  stories  be- 
hind the  Indians'  pictured  are 
evident. 

Although  these  20  pictures 
are  in  black  and  white.  Dr. 
Campbell  also  does  color  slides. 
He  uses  a  Japanese  Mamiya  C-3 
twin  lens  reflex  camera. 

Mrs.  Eleanor  Jackson,  SMC's 
asst.  professor  of  art,  is  respon- 
-iblr-  for  art  displays  in  Wright 
Hall,  changing  them  at  least 
once  each  month.  She  says  this 
photo  exhibit  is  one  of  the  two 
or  three  photographic  or  com- 
mercial art  displays  the  art  de- 
partment scheduled  each  year. 

Also  being  shown  with  Dr. 
1  ■anipbell's  pictures  are  two 
photo  essays  created  by  students 
in  a  first  semester  photography 
in  communications  class. 

"Stopping  by  Woods  on  a 
Snowy  Day"  by  Carl  Schneider,

Behind  the  all-around  play  of 
Mickey  Greene,  Atkins  breezed 
to  an  easy  83-73  victory  over  the 
All-Stars.  But  it  took  more  than 
just  Greene's  play  to  put  it  all 
together  for  the  grey  bombers, 
who  were  the  "A"  League 
champs.  Ken  DeFoor,  substi- 
tuting for  absent  Dean  Lovejoy, 
played  perhaps  his  best  game 
this  year,  feeding  the  ball  to 
Greene,  and  accounting  for  16 
points  himself. 

Solid  performances  by  Bob 
Swofford  and  Allen  Chastain 
helped  AtJtins  on  his  way  to 
victory,  also. 

What  hurt  the  All-Stars 
probably  the  most  was  the  con- 
spicuous absence  of  the  Fardulis 
brothers,  Lauren  and  Beau,  who 
were  named  to  the  team,  but 
were  unable  to  play,  as  was  also 
the  case  with  All-Star  Gene 
Tarr.  So  it  was  only  a  six -man 
team  that  showed  up  to  do  bat- 
tle with  Atkins, 

The  Stars  were  paced  by 
Heinz  Wiegand's  23  points,  and 
Don  Taylor's  1 7  rebounds.  But 
Greene  was  the  night's  top 
scorer,  swishing  the  hoop  for  a 
total  of  36  points,  only  four 
points  away  from  the  SMC  scor-

Dorm  Takes  Third 

The  Dormitory  team,  getting 
even  playing  from  all  its  play- 
ers, overcame  a  determined  Vil- 
lage team,  featuring  Lauren 
Fardulis'  scoring  machine,  in 
the  last  of  the  Dorm-Village 
fMiiu>.  this  year  by  a  score  of 
88-79. 

Fardulis,  playing  his  last  of- 
ficial basketball  game  here  at 
SMC  before  graduating  this 
spring,  scored  a  total  of  38  points 
during  the  game,  thus  account- 
ing for  almost  half  the  points 
scored  by  the  village.  But  his 
individual  performance  couldn't 
erase  the  achievements  of  the 
Dorm  players,  who  had  all  five 
starters  in  double  figures. 

Mickey  Greene,  SMC's  MVP, 
led  the  Dorm  scoring  with  20 
points,  followed  by  Gene  Conley 


Dorm-Village  Tilt 

and   Beau  Fardulis,   who  each 
scored  15  points. 

The  actual  edge  in  the  game 
was  probably  the  rebounding 
edge  that  the  Dorm  held  over 
the  Village,  as  Conley,  Taylor, 
and  Greene  kept  the  ball  away 
from  all  but  Thomas  on  the  Vil- 
lage team.  The  Dorm  re- 
bounders  grabbed  16  more 
missed  shots  than  did  opponents. 


GIRLS'  ALL-STARS  WIN 

Scoring  on  a  last-second  shot, 
Girls'  All-Stars  squeezed  out  a 
22-21  victory  over  season  cham- 
pions Longoria.  Basically  a  de- 
fensive struggle,  the  game  saw 
only  one  player  break  into 
double  figures — Linda  Brand, 
with  1 1  points  for  Longoria. 

Top  scorer  for  the  all-star 
team  was  Donna  Miller,  who 
scored  six  points.  Miss  Lowman, 
and  Phyllis  Underwood  each 
scored  four  points  also  for  the 

Sandy  Cavanaugh  and  Mary

Following  tonight's  program, 
one  remaining  vesper  service  is 
to  be  presented  by  the  MV.  That 
presentation  will  be  May  22. 

Earlier  this  week  SMC's  MV 
leaders  and  one  of  next  year's 
student  missionaries  traveled  to 
Union  College,  Lincoln,  Neb.,  to 
attend  the  annual  North  Amer- 
i  c  a  n  Missionary  Volunteer 
Workshop.  This  event,  attended 
by  representatives  from  campus 
MV  societies  from  all  die  senior 
colleges  in  North  America,  is 
held  in  connection  with  the 
North  American  Student  Asso- 
ciations Workshop. 

Representing  SMC's  MV  at 
Lincoln  are:  Wayne  Hicks, 
president;  Doug  Foley,  presi- 
dent-elect; Harry  Nelson,  Mis- 
sions Emphasis  coordinator; 
Elder  Alan  Williamson,  spon- 
sor; and  Carol  Smart,  1970  stu- 
dent missionary. 


One  form,  submitted  by  the 
Election  Committee,  had  Bill 
Boyle  running  separately  from 
Elton  Kerr,  on  an  approve-dis- 
approve  ballot.  The  other  bal- 
lot, submitted  by  the  Senate, 
had  Kerr  and  Boyle  running  to- 
gether as  a  ticket. 

The  decision  handed  down  by 
the  Judiciary  said  that  the  Elec- 
tion Committee's  ballot  was  the 
legal  one,  since  the  new  working 
policies  of  the  constitution  stated 
that  an  un-opposed  candidate 
must  run  on  an  approve-disap- 
prove  ballot. 

The  Judiciary  came  into  be- 
ing during  the  second  semester 
of  the  Jim  Davis-Mark  Weigley 
administration  last  year.  A  con- 
stitutional amendment  was 
pas-ed,  adding  a  Judiciary  to  the 
SA's  bodies.  The  duties  were 
to  rule  on  questions  on  the  con- 
stitution, as  brought  up  by  one- 
third  of  the  Senate.  It  never 
met  under  the  old  constitution. 


When   the   r 

was  passed  this  year,  the  ques- 
tion of  whether  or  not  the  Judi- 
ciary should  remain  was  the 
subject  of  much  debate.  It  was 
finally  approved  by  the  Senate, 
even  though  it  was  not  in  the

Finances  Reu/'ue  SA 

II  the  recent  SA  elections  proved  anything-  they  demonstrated 
lhal  SMC  students  (brieve  it  or  not)  are  capable  ol  becoming 
excited  about  their  student  government.  Though  the  excitemen 
stirred  up  by  political  campaigns  is  sometimes  artificial  or.  at 
best  transitory  we  can  nevertheless  be  thankful  that  we  have 
temporarily  experienced  a  period  of  release  from  student  apathy. 
Walking  about  the  campus  recently,  even  the  most  casual 
observer,  il  he  had  taken  notice  of  campus  life  here  at  mid- 
semester  could  not  help  but  see  that  the  tempo  and  spint  of  the 
campus  has  improved.  Realistically  speaking,  however,  we  still 
cannot  say  that  all  Ihe  former  ills  of  the  SA  have  been  extin- 
guished, but  most  signs  seem  to  indicate  that  many  of  them  have 
been  brought  under  control. 

One  might  point  to  any  number  of  several  different  changes 
that  the  elections  have  brought  about  and  say  that  these  are 
especially  noteworthy.  The  ACCENT  editors,  likewise,  have 
selected  a  specific  change  which  we  admire  and  we  comment: 

We  see  that  the  elections  have  tapped  and,  otherwise,  re- 
vived our  heretofore  dormant  hope  of  someday  realizing  that 
student  government  really  works.  Perhaps  this  is  folly,  but  we 
think  not.  We  know  that  it  is  common  for  the  SA  to  receive  a 
fresh  breath  of  air — a  second  wind — as  new  officers  are  elected, 
only  to  later  have  this  same  breath  of  vitality  turn  stale  as  il  it 
were  somehow  polluted  when  scholastic,  extra-curricular,  and 
financial  responsibilities  slowly  sap  the  enthusiasm  and  leader- 
ship capabilities  of  student  leaders. 

Why,  then,  should  we  believe  that  things  could  be  different? 

Because  next  year's  key  SA  leaders — president,  vice-presi- 
dent, secretary,  treasurer,  and  ACCENT  and  "Memories"  editors 
— will  probably  be  receiving  grant-in-aids  about  three  times 
larger  than  the  grants  received  by  officers  in  those  positions  now, 
we  foresee  that  they  will  in  turn  be  able  to  devote  more  of  their 
time  toward  maintaining  effective  leadership.  This  is  perhaps 
an  optimistic  outlook,  but  we  believe  it  is  a  realistic  one,  With 
a  greater  amount  ol  his  financial  needs  cared  for,  it  seems  likely 
that  any  student  leader  could  find  more  time  to  devote  to  his 
extra-curricular  duties  without  undue  stress  scholastic  ally  as  has 
not  been  the  case  in  the  past, 

Details  have  yet  to  be  officially  released,  but  the  larger  grants 
appear  to  be  nearing  reality.  They  are  long  overdue,  SMC  stu- 
dent leaders,  while  their  duties  have  been  equal  to  or  greater 
than  those  of  leaders  on  other  SDA  college  campuses,  have  al- 
ways been  given  smaller  remunerations  than  those  given  on  our 
sister  campuses.  The  ACCENT  praises  the  college  board  and 
administration  and  the  present  SA  leaders  for  initiating  this 
forward  step.  We  join  with  them  in  hoping  it  achieves  its  desired 
effect:  a  more  active  student  government  for  1970-71  and  the 
years  that  follow. 


On  the  hill  behind  Talge  Hall 
there  is  a  sign,  written  on  the 
lawn  earlier  this  spring  by  a 
benefactor  unknown  to^me^  It 
cmi-ist-  of  an  inverted  "V"  in  a 
forty-foot  circle— a  universal 
symbol  of  concern  for  peace  on 
earth.  On  a  lovely  spring  day, 
it  reminded  me  of  a  question  I 
was  asked  last  summer  by  a  stu- 
dent at  a  much  larger,  more 
with-it  institution.  "Are  the  stu- 
dents at  Southern  Missionary 
College  concerned  about  peace?" 
He  pronounced  the  name 
carefully,  conveying  his  un- 
famili.irity  with  it  and  his  doubt 
that  we  were,  indeed,  concerned. 
(I  did,  however,  prefer  that  to 
the  rather  deprecatory  tone  in 
which  I  have  heard  our  fair 
school's  name  pronounced  by 
some  SDA's.) 

I  had  to  admit  I  was  not — 
and  that  neither  were  most 
others  at  SMC.  In  retrospect,  I 
am  glad  we  aren't.  For  the  very 
persons  who  so  loudly  declare 
their  "concern"  for  peace  in  the 
distant  jungles  of  Southeast 
Asia  are  often  the  very  ones  who 
continually  disturb  the  peace  on 
their  own  campuses,  nsiruj;  phys- 
ical force  freely  to  suppress 
those  who  disagree — often  abus- 
ing them  verbally  as  well.  Tins, 
to  me,  is  a  form  of  hypocrisy  as 
glaring  as  that  found  in  the 
liberal  "Establishment."  The 
person  who  truly  loves  peace 
respects  his  fellow  man's  right 
to  be  mistaken,  apathetic,  dis- 
agreeable, or  downright  hostile. 
I  think  that  at  SMC  most  of 
us  have  learned  to  live  and  let 
live,  to  talk  out  our  differences, 
and  the  art  of  compromise.  We 
live  surrounded  by  nature's 
peace,  rather  than  by  the  crush

campus  is  marked  by  the  ab- 
sence of  controversy  and  con- 
frontation, and  by  congeniality, 
friendliness,  and  usually  by 
Christian  courtesy. 

Even  the  school  Administra- 
tion— usually  a  topic  that  raises 
voices  and  controversy  on  any 
campus,  is  a  less  explosive  sub- 
ject here.  A  friend  at  one  of  our 
sister  colleges  once  charged, 
"SMC  is  run  by  people  who 
think  you  can  tell  good  people 
from  bad  by  their  dress  or  hair 
style."    And  it  is.    But  what  of 


it?     At  SMC,   one  can   foi 
about  snowstorms,  sunbathe 
the  lawns,  walk  on  the  gr 
participate     in     any     sport    he 
wishes,  and  take  a  walk  afte 
dark.  For  SMC  students,  troubL 
between  the  races  is  a  flat  tire 
between  Daytona  and  Talladega 
on  a  weekend  trip.    People  who 
choose  schools  on  the  basi: 
rules  concerning  skirt  length.,  .. 
hair  on  the  face,  deserve  what 
they  get.     We  should  be  con- 
cerned with  growth  in  more  sig 
nificant  areas. 

In  short  then,  we  at  College 
dale  have  the  solution  to  tin 
troubles  of  so  many  colleges  to 
day.  Perhaps  we  can  share  it 
with  others  who  are  "Con 
cerned."  Perhaps  I  begin  to  set.

SOUTHERN   ACCENT 


Of  Chinchillas  and  Gerbils 


By  Shebeen  Shorter 
Before  a  large  sink  stood  the 
mustached  professor  gowned  in 
a  white  apron.  He  poured  a 
murky  brown  liquid  into  a  bot- 
tle, speaking  in  his  heavy  Ger- 

"Prune  juice  and  water,"  he 
explained,  filling  a  baby  bottle. 

No  mad  scientist  here.  Only 
SMC's  animal-loving  German 
teacher,  Budolf  Aussner,  feed- 
ing his  chinchillas. 

Aussner  became  interested  in 
chinchillas  and  gerbils  last  Sep- 
tember when  reading  about 
their  great  demand  in  a  maga- 
zine. Having  already  raised 
silver  toy  poodles,  Aussner  was 

Before  long,  he  had  made  a 
cozy  home  for  19  chinchillas 
and  150  gerbils  in  his  own  gar- 
age. Thus,  he  wisely  combined 
a  hobby  with 


Chinchillas,  native  to  South 
America,  have  beautiful  furry 
coats  with  shades  that  range 
from  jet  black  to  snowy  white. 
Aussner's  cages  are  built  with  a 
tunnel  running  along  the  back. 
This  is  for  the  exclusive  use  of 
the  mating  males. 

Since  it  takes  from  150  to  175 
(  him  hill.i  furs  to  make  just  one 
fur  coat,  someone  has  said  that 
all  chinchillas  would  have  to 
breed  regularly  for  60  years  be- 
fore there  would  be  enough 
chinchilla  furs  to  put  just  one 
coat  in  every  fur  store  in  the 
U.S. 

However,  Aussner  finds  that 
his  little  desert  rat  friends,  the 
gerbils,  are  in  even  greater  de- 
mand than  chinchillas.  Natives 
of  North  Africa  and  Asia,  ger- 
bils have  only  been  in  captivity 
in    the  states   for   the  last  ten

This  1970  Advertising  Arts  Exhibit  composes  the  works  of  20 
professional  artists  from  the  Chattanooga  area. 

Dr.  LaVeta  Payne,  professor  of  education  and  psychology  at 
SMC,  has  written  a  book,  "Called  to  Teach  a  Sabbath  School  Class," 
which  has  been  chosen  by  the  Sabbath  School  Department  as  a 
reading  course  book  for  1970. 

Phil  and  Florence  Walker,  a  well-known  husband  and  wife  team

Walkers  photographed  the  lost  cities  of  Guatemala  and  the  last

Charles  W.  Jarvis,  D.D.S.,  will  be  the  guest  speaker  of  the

mand. He  has  a  contract  with 
one  university  and  sells  100  each 
month  to  another  university. 
Fortunately,  these  animals  are 
very  prolific,  having  a  24-day 
gt'station  period. 

To  his  gerbils,  Aussner  plays 
the  part  of  matchmaker,  and  for 
the  gerbils,  matching  is  for  life. 
After  observing  the  blissful 
"married  life"  of  his  gerbils, 
Aussner  advises  that  each  new- 
lywed  couple  should  get  a  pair 
of  gerbils  to  serve  as  examples. 

SMC  Nurses 
Elected  in  TASN 

Four  Southern  Missionary 
College  students  have  been 
elected  to  offices  in  the  Tennes- 
s  e  e  Association  of  Student 
Nurses  (TASN)  and  one  was 
chosen  sixth  district  Student 
Nurse  of  the  Year. 

At  the  annual  TASN  conven- 
tion held  in  Nashville,  delegates 
from  the  eight  districts  in  the 
state  elected  Suzanne  Underhay, 
junior  from  Taunton,  Mass., 
president  for  1970.  Other  state- 
wide officers  are  Martha  Gerace, 
freshman  from  Miami,  Fla., 
second  vice  president;  and  Judy 
Bent/in^er,  junior  from  Or- 
lando, Fla.,  recording  secretary. 

SMC  student  nurses  elected 
Judy  Bentzinger  president  of  the 
sixth  district  for  1970-71.  Names 
of  the  other  officers  were  not 
available  at  press  time. 

Judy  Winters,  senior  from 
Staunton,  Va.,  was  named  sixth 
district  Student  Nurse  of  the 
Year. 

"The  TASN  promotes  pro- 
grams to  encourage  better  nurs- 
ing. It  gets  students  together  to 
exchange  ideas  from  all  over  the 
state,"  says  Linda  Hagenbaugh, 
senior  from  Lehman,  Penn., 
present  second  vice  president  of 
the  sixth  district. 


Holloway  and  Kilgen  Organs 
Installed  in  Talge  and  Miller  Halls 


Stanley  E.  Walker,  organist 
and  professor  of  music  at  SMC, 
presented  last  Saturday  after- 
noon the  first  of  three  inaugural 
concerts  on  the  new  Holloway 
Organ  recently  installed  in  the 
Talge  Hall  Chapel. 

The  new  organ,  presently 
valued  at  $19,500,  was  built  by 
E.  H.  Holloway  Co.,  of  Indian- 
apolis, Ind.  Marvin  L.  Robert- 
son, chairman  of  SMC's  music 
department,  says  "the  organ 
will  eventually  be  moved  from 
Talge  Chapel  into  the  recital 
hall  of  the  yet  to  be  constructed 
Fine  Arts  Center."  SMC  plans 
of  this  new  center 
i  the  early  70's. 

"Though  this  new  organ  is 
not  complete  in  its  present 
state,"  says  Walker,  "it  is  still 
about  three  times  larger  than 
the  organ  we  now  have  in  our 

"The  Talge  Hall  organ,"  con- 
tinues Walker,  "now  has  13

for  May  8  and  9.  All  qualified 
students  are  invited  to  attend 
the  retreat  in  the  student  park. 

Drs.  W.  G.  C.  and  Ruth  R. 
Murdoch  from  Andrews  Uni- 
versity will  be  special  guests  for 
this  retreat.  Dr.  Ruth  R.  Mur-

and  home  relations.  Others  to  be 
featured  in  the  program  will  be 
Dr.  LaVeta  Payne,  Dr.  K.  M.

Walker  says  that  the  new 
organ  is  presently  being  used  on 
a  limited  basis  (about  32  hours 
per  week)  as  a  practice  organ 
for  music  students  at  the  college. 

Walker's  concert  will  be  fol- 
lowed on  April  25  at  4  p.m.  with 
a  second  inaugural  concert  by 
William  James  McGee,  assistant 
professor  of  music  at  SMC. 
Then  sometime  in  May,  Walker 
will  present  the  third  and  final 

The  new  Holloway  Organ  is 
only  one  of  two  new  organs  that 
have  recently  been  installed  at 
SMC.  A  reconstructed  and  re- 
finished  Kilgen  Organ  was  re- 
cently given  to  the  college  by 
Mr.  and  Mrs,  David  Lee,  for- 
merly of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  now  re- 
siding in  Calhoun,  Ga.  The 
organ,  built  with  three  ranks  of 
pipes,  was  installed  in  Walker's 
studio  in  SMC's  Miller  Hall. 

Mr.  Lee  is  presently  director 
of  a  frozen  bread  business  at 
Georgia  Cumberland  Academy 
at  Calhoun.  The  business  was 
e-iablished  by  McKee  Baking 
Co.  of  Collegedale  as  a  student 
labor  industry. 

O.  D.  McKee,  founder  and 
president  of  McKee  Baking 
Company,  paid  the  expense  of 
having  the  Kilgen  Organ  moved 
from  St.  Louis  to  SMC,  and  split 
the  expense  with  the  college  of 
having  the  organ  rebuilt  by  E.

SMA  Retreat 
Hosts  Metcalf, 
Spongier,  Cumbo 

The  Student  Ministerial  As- 
sociation held  its  annual  spring 
retreat  on  campus  April  3  and 
4.  Special  guests  were  Elder  H. 
E.  Metcalf.  ministerial  secretary 
of  the  Southern  Union,  Elder  J. 
R  Spangler.  associate  secretary 
of  the  General  Conference  Min- 
isterial Association,  and  Elder  E. 
E.  Cumbo,  ministerial  secretary 
of  the  Georgia -Cumberland  Con- 
ference. 

One  hundred  fifty  religion 
students  received  practical  in- 
struction and  inspiration  when 
Elder  Metcalf  presented  his  ex- 
periences in  Jamaican  evange- 
lism and  a  new  method  called 
"Dialogue  Evangelism"  in 
which  audience  participation 
with  the  evangelist  is  encour- 
aged. 

Elder  Spangler  challenged  the 
group  during  the  worship  hour 
"to  preach  Christ."  In  the  af- 
ternoon session  he  presented  a 
new  experiment  in  evangelism 
recently  tried  in  the  Philippines. 
It  consists  of  intermingling  the 
medical  ministry  with  the  doc- 
trinal teaching. 

The    retreat    closed    with    a

Botimer  stated  that  this  pro- 
gram is  vaguely  related  to  the 
present  monitor  program,  but  it 
now  includes  phases  besides  the 


i  check,  assembly,  and  othi 
routine  responsibilities. 

"We  are  very  interested  in 
finding  workers  that  are  com- 
mitted to  student  personnel

to  work  in  that  capacity  in  the 
future.  We  want  to  do  all  we 
can  to  help  prepare  them."

WSMC  News  Conducts 
Polls  During  SA  Campaign 


One  of  the  more  interesting 
sidelights  of  the  past  campaign 
were  the  polls  laken  under  the 
direction  of  Don  Schmidt  for  the 
WSMC  News  Department. 
These  three  polls,  taken  during 
the  two  days  prior  to  the  elec- 
tion, showed  voter  trends  and 
allowed  Schmidt  to  make  elec- 
tion day  predictions  which  came 

The  first  poll,  taken  Tuesday 
morning,  showed  that  Kerr  had 
19  percent  of  the  voters,  with 
Hicks  carrying  26  percent.  Over 
35  percent  of  the  200  polices 
were  undecided.  This  poll  was 
taken  on  campus  at  random. 

The  second  poll,  taken  in  the 
two  dorms  Tuesday  evening, 
showed  that  people  were  making 
up  their  mind,  for  only  21  per- 
cent were  undecided.  Kerr  this 
tune  had  43  percent,  and  Hicks 
hud  36  percent,  and  seemed  to 
be  closing  the  gap. 

This  poll  also  included  the 
Southed  Accent  race  for  the 


first  time,  and  showed  Lynda 
Hughes  ahead  with  51  percent 
to  Bill  Cash's  26  percent.  Only 
2i  percent  were  undecided. 

In  this  poll,  425  students  gave 
their  opinion,  as  WSMC  em- 
ployees canvassed  the  dormitory 

The  final  poll,  taken  late 
Wednesday  night — election  eve 
—showed  that  both  winning 
candidates  seemed  to  have  a 
band-wagon  going.  Kerr  picked 
up  to  49  percent,  and  Hicks 
dropped  to  32  percent,  with  19 
percent  undecided.  Hughes 
polled  51  percent  again,  but 
Cash  dropped  to  25  percent, 
with  a  larger  amount,  24  per- 
cent undecided. 

This  poll,  also  taken  in  the 

''"'•'Us  bad  433  siudenK  voline 
basically  the  same  one,  thai 
voted  the  previous  night 

However,  with  these  results 
•Vhmidt  fell  that  he  was  able  to 
Predict  that  Kerr  and  Hughes 
would  win  their  elections 


Thirty  -  three  Sehizographs, 
-pHl -pin  >lngraphs  arranged  to 
offer  a  brilliantly,  innovative 
new  art  form  using  natural 
scenery  to  produce  fantastic  de- 
signs, are  on  display  for  the 
first  time  to  the  public  at  SMC. 

These  unusual  and  modern 
photographic  creations  were 
originated  by  nineteen  year-old 
Mark  McDade  of  Signal  Moun- 
tain, Tenn.  McDade  is  cur- 
rently a  staff  photographer  for 
Rock  City  Gardens,  atop  Look- 
out Mountain,  near  Chatta- 
nooga. 

"Unlike  the  contrived  paint- 
ings of  the  modernists,"  says 
McDade,  "Sehizographs  create 
harmonious  patterns  from  the 
splendidly  detailed  structure  of 
nature  itself." 

McDade  explains  that  each 
Schizograph  begins  with  an  orig- 
inal, full  color  photograph,  se- 
lected for  its  inherent  design.  A 
duplicate  and  two  mirror-image 
copies  are  made.  These  are 
carefully  fitted  together  to  make 
a   "through   the   looking   glass" 

McDade's  SMC  exhibit,  spon- 
sored by  Rock  City  and  SMC's 
art  department,  may  be  seen  un- 
til May  1  on  the  second  floor  of 
Wright  Hall.

Commentary 


Must  SMC  Remain  Grounded! 


As  weary  SMC  representativi 


j  the  recent  MV  workshop 

at  Un^iTcoilege"  tried  to  unbend  from  18  hours  of  car  travel,  they 
couldn't  help  notice  the  cheery  smiles  of  students  from  many  of 
the  other  colleges  represented.  In  some  cases,  the  weary  un- 
bending vs.  cheery  smile 


i  prompted  by  modes  of  transpor- 


Both  those  who  rode  in  cars  and  those  who  flew  in  planes 
(commercial  and  private)  took  chances — miles  and  miles  of  un- 
predictable drivers,  stopping  and  starting,  and  city  traffic;  vs. 
miles  and  miles  of  air— space  below,  above,  and  all  around. 

Not  being  a  school  of  sadism,  perhaps  SMC  can  find  a  solu- 
tion to  this  question.  This  is  not  the  last  distant  workshop  which 
SMC's  students  will  have  the  opportunity  to  participate  in.  Others 
are  being  planned  by  sister  colleges  in  an  effort  to  communicate. 

Two  possible  solutions  seem  feasible.  First,  someone's  budget 
could  provide  the  funds  for  commercial  flight.  Of  course,  in  this 
way,  only  one  or  two  could  represent  SMC.  Only  one  or  two 
i  directly.  Only  one  or  two  would  have  a 
i  convey  to  the  waiting  SMC  campus. 

The  second  solution  is  a  private  plane  (Scary  Story  Hour 
time)— an  answer  already  found  by  several  other  colleges  who 
attended   the  Union  workshop. 

Those  who  are  masters  of  the  air  advocate  travel  in  the 
skies  as  being  safer  than  car  travel  because  of  a  pilot's  thorough 
testing  and  training,  and  because  of  the  absence  of  numerous 
"barely  licensed"  car  careeners. 

Being  a  rather  controversial  matter,  there  is  also  another 
point  of  view.  Would  the  college  be  responsible  for  the  safety 
of  the  students? 

With  objective  evaluation,  careful  consideration  of  modem 
transportation  trends,  correct  selection  of  pilots,  alerl  coordination 
of  flight  time  with  weather  conditions,  SMC  can  join  the  team 
with  the  cheery  smiles,  awake  minds,  and  uncramped  append- 

Tiuoli  Provides  Disguised  Evangelism 

"Man,  Oh  Man!"  the  musical  variety  program  presented  by 
the  Student  Association  was  an  achievement  in  community  rela- 
tions, as  well  as  an  enjoyable  program.  But  we  mustn't  let  this 
performance  terminate  our  work  in  this  direction. 

Southern  Missionary  College  has  been  called  an  isolated 
haven,  particularly  saintly  because  of  its  location  away  from 
a  big  city.  Perhaps  this  is  true.  However,  through  various  pro- 
gram:.— the  Gate,  Project  East  Chattanooga,  prison  bands, 
Maranatha — we  have  tried  to  reach  out  of  our  cocoon  and  we 
have  succeeded — to  a  certain  extent. 

Yet  we  have  never  before  tried  to  reach  the  man  on  the  street 
through  public  entertainment.  People  can  be  reached  through 
this  media  who  would  never  be  approached  or  be  approachable 
through  any  other  avenue.  Quality  entertainment  with  a  mes- 
sage will  appeal  to  many  who  would  scorn  a  Bible  study  or  an 
invitation  to  evangelistic  meetings. 


You  may  have  noticed  the 
fading  of  the  peace  sign  which 

furnished  the  keynote  to  the  last 
Speculum.  And  alas,  even  in 
our  serene  and  peaceful  physical 
selling,  there  are  a  few  items 
that  grate,  disturbing  one's  peace 
of  minfl. 

Without  a  doubt,  the  thing 
that  has  bothered  me  most  dur- 
ing my  3-year  sojourn  in  Happy 
Valley  is  the  haunting,  back-of- 
my-mind  knowledge  that  I  was 
not  being  adequately  prepared 
to  compete  in  our  modern, 
hypertensive  society  with  gradu- 
ates of  larger,  more  with-it 
schools.  I  do  not  refer  to  the 
inevitable  raise  of  the  eyebrows 
lhat  accompanies  revealing,  to  a 
personnel  man  for  example, 
thai  one's  alma  mater  is  South- 
ern Missionary  College.  This 
reaction  is  only  1o  be  expected 
by  a  follower  of  a  way  of  life 
generally  believed  to  be  out- 
dated. 

I  do  refer  to  some  respects  in 
which  we  are  the  tail  and  not 
the  head,  to  reverse  Mrs. 
White's  blunt  metaphor.  This 
is  a  lot  easier  to  understand 
than  to  accept.    1  once  heard  a 


l|||Mult'<>) 


attributed  to  Socrates, 
vhich  states  that  an  ideal  school 
is  a  good  teacher  on  one  end  of 
a  log  and  a  good  student  on  the 
other.  At  SMC  the  typical  stu- 
dent has  better  facilities  open  to 
him  than  he  would  at  many  of 
the  nation's  most  recognized  in- 
stitutions. And  I  have  been  as- 
sured by  the  Academic  Dean 
that  our  students  are  definitely 
not  inferior  to  others. 

Recently,  our  attention  has 
been  called  to  the  under-repre- 
sentauon  of  mediocrity  on  the 
Supreme  Court.  I  would  like  to 
call  attention  to  the  over-repre- 
sentation of  mediocrity  on  the 
SMC  faculty.  Teachers  who 
view  their  degrees  as  union 
cards  and  their  positions  as 
mere  "jobs,"  are  anti-intellec- 
tuals and  should  not  hold  posi- 
tions of  authority  over  young 
minds,  some  of  which  still  aspire 
to  be  more  than  "average." 

If,  as  seems  clear  to  me,  this 
problem  is  real  and  significant, 
I  would  like  to  suggest  two 
means  of  alleviating  it.  First, 
let  employment  and  promotion 
in  the  SDA  organization  be 
based  more  on  competence  and

And  the  audience  just  loved  it. 

Credit  has  to  be  given  to  those  who  worked  so  hard  for  the 
program's  success.  Miss  Luce,  Mr.  Ashton,  Mike  Bodtker,  and 
Cheryl  letter  deserve  a  round  of  applause  for  the  well-written 
script.  Mr.  Runyan  outdid  himself  in  preparing  the  choral  groups. 
Dr.  Dick  and  Mike  Foxworthy  performed  beyond  the-call-of-duty 
in  directing  the  production. 

Special  thanks  should  go  also  to  the  people  of  the  Siskin 
Foundation,  and  to  the  production  crew  of  the  Tivoli,  Mr.  Taylor, 
and  the  Public  Relations  department  more  than  gave  enough 
publicity  for  the  program. 

lust  watching  the  students  on  the  stage,  one  could  tell  that 
they  enjoyed  doing  the  program.  And  in  the  reception  that  fol- 
lowed the  program,  over  and  over  one  heard,  "Let's  do  that 
again."     "Let's  come  back  next  year." 

During  the  week  following  the  program,  that  idea  has  been 
heard  countless  times.  Why  not?  Most  ot  the  cast,  and  those 
associated  with  the  program  have  expressed  willingness  to  put 
on  a  similar  program  next  year,  and  the  following  years.  We 
heartily  endorse  the  idea. 

However,  we  feel  that  if  the  project  were  undertaken  again, 
plans  should  begin  earlier  in  the  year,  and  the  program  should 
be  put  on  in  March  or  April,  a  Utile  further  away  from  the  end 
of  the  year  and  exams. 

Let's  get  the  ball  rolling  for  next  year's  program  right  now!

less  on  political  connections 
with,  and  submission  to,  our 
clergy  and  their  views.  Second, 
pay  some  attention  to  general 
student  opinion.  In  a  Christian 
school,  a  teacher  believed  by 
80%  of  his  students  to  be  in- 
competent, probably  is.  This 
should  be  taken  into  account. 
Our  faculty  should  be  more  than 
mere  purveyors  of  tape-recorded 
lectures  for  note-taking.  They 
should  be  big  enough  to  exclude 
their  personal  approval  or  dis- 
approval of  a  student's  way  of 
life  from  consideration  in  grad- 
ing. They  should  not  be  arbiters 
of  fashion  and  standards  in  such 
sensitive  areas  as  dress  and  hair 
styles.  This  is  the  responsibility 
of  the  college  ao'ministran'on. 
Teachers  have  a  higher  calling 
— to  be  intellectually  stimulat- 
ing. 

Fortunately,  this  is  still  a 
minority  problem.  I  would  like 
to  thank  those  teachers  who 
have  been  an  inspiration  to  me 
here  at  Collegedale — for  staying 
and  tolerating  low  salaries  and 
the  mediocrity  of  colleagues. 
They  show  personal  interest  and 
go  the  second  mile  with  stu- 
dents. They  are  indeed  the  salt 
of  the  earth.

Cast  Impressions 

By  Bill  Cash 
Being  a  member  of  the  Tivoli 
cast  was  something  else.  And 
since  all's  well  that  ends  well, 
everything  came  out  okay,  after 
all.     But  there  were  doubts  for 

It  all  began  what  seems  eons 
ago.  Somewhere,  a  script  ap- 
peared, and  the  choral  groups 
were  formed,  and  started  prac- 
ticing. Most  of  the  cast  already 
belonged  to  either  or  both  the 
chorale  and  choir,  but  more 
members  were  needed.  Don 
Runyan's  office  sent  out  notices 
to  all  the  students  soliciting  their 
help.     And  help  c

Then  prac 
kept  on,  anc 
on  .  .  .  There  was  practice  at 
ID.  practice  at  5,  and  practice 
at  7:30.  Finally,  the  directors 
decided   to  bring  everyone  to- 


gether, and  begin  the  staging. 
Mike  Foxworthy  and  Dr.  Don 
Dick  spent  hours  planning  the 
staging,  using  the  Tabernacle 
iincl  Spiilding  School  recreation 
room  as  practice  stages,  marked 
with  the  dimension  of  the  Tivoli 
stage. 

Finally,  the  final  week  ar- 
rived. By  this  time,  slides  for 
the  multi-media  segments  were 
taken,  costumes  ordered,  or  be- 
ing made,  and  the  props  were 
being  gathered.  The  entire  cast 
spent  a  couple  of  evenings  going 
through  the  whole  program  in 
the  Tabernacle. 

Then  came  the  first  disastrous 
dress  rehearsal  at  the  Tivoli. 
\\V.in.---(l,iy  evening,  the  entire 

crew  boarded  buses,  and  spent 
the  evening  exploring  the  Tivoli 
between  practices.  Every  nook 
and  crany  in  the  place  was 
scrutinized  before  the  evening 
was  over.  Needless  to  say,  the 
rehearsal  definitely  lacked  some- 
Thursday  evening,  everyone 
boarded  the  buses  again  for 
what  turned  out  to  be  the  final 


rehearsal.  Two  run-throughs 
proved  that  the  cast  DID  know 
the  program.  Lighting  arrange- 
ments were  finalized,  and  the 
costumes  were  tried  on.  Even 
the  banana  boat  boys  made  the 
scene!  No  one  was  dismayed 
when  directors  Dick  and  Bun- 
yan  announced  that  there  were 
to  be  no  more  rehearsals  until 
Sunday. 

Sunday  dawned  bright  and 
early  for  the  cast  members.  By 
8:30,  performers  were  being 
made  up.  For  the  last  time,  the 
cast  boarded  the  buses,  and  ar- 
rived at  the  Tivoli  by  1  that 
afternoon. 

A  quick  rehearsal,  and  final 
directions  were  made  before  the 

The  rest  is  history — how  the 
cast  received  standing  ovations 
at  both  performances;  how 
overwhelmed  the  Siskin  brothers 
were;  how  impressed  the  Holly- 
wood agent  was;  and  how 
pleased  the  cast  was — pleased  at>ca,  I

Girl  Meets  lathe 


By  Cheryl  Jetter 
For  most  girls,  an  industrial 
arts  course  inspires  such  adjec- 
tives as  masculine,  baffling,  dull, 
irrelevant.  But  Beth  Breden- 
kamp,  a  two-year  nursing  stu- 
dent, approaches  her  woodturn- 
ing  class  with  a  new  concept. 
"I  enjoy   woodturning,"   she

be  more  practical  to  me  in  the

gramming might  be. 

There    must    be    something 
which  would  influence  her  en- 

STANDINGS 


The  lead  in  the  fast  pitch 
league  has  changed  hands  sev- 
eral times  during  the  last  two 
weeks,  but  at  press  time,  Ernie 
Steven's  team  finds  itself  with  a 
tenuous  half-game  lead  over 
Gary  Gryte's  and  Dennis 
Ward's  teams. 

But  that  half-game  lead  looks 
pretty  big  when  one  looks  at  the 
schedule.  Gryte  has  but  one 
game  left,  and  can  do  no  better 
than  tie,  unless  everybody  else 
loses.  Ward's  remaining  games 
include  one  with  Stevens,  and 
two  with  Rouse,  who  boasts  Nel- 
son Thomas  as  pitcher.  Stevens 
other  remaining  game  is  with 
cellar-dweller  Stepanske. 

Stepanske's  team  is  a  victim 
of  hard  luck  this  year.  Several 
hitters  on  the  team  have  yet  to 
find  their  groove,  and  freak  er- 
rors have  accounted  for  several 
losses.  One  that  comes  to  mind 
was  against  Ward.  Pleasants 
was  on  weekend  leave,  leaving 
Ward  to  pilch.  Stepanske  was 
coasting  with  a  nice  lead,  until 
Larry  Bicknell  dropped  a  third- 
out  fly  with  the  bases  loaded. 
Ward  then  pitched  out  of  a 
seventh-inning  rally  to  save  his 

Steven's  team  has  been  rely- 
ing on  the  timely  fielding  ;m<] 
lulling  of  Leon  Elliston,  Bobby 
MacAlpine's  hilling,  and  Nelson 


,  Of  < 


.  but  it  does 


that  if  Thoresen  doesn't 
strike  a  batter  out,  Elliston  will 
throw  him  out!  Thoresen  is 
leading  the  league  in  strikeouts, 
■'lvonifjinfi  almost  10  per  game. 
Against  Ward  earlier  in  the 
season,  in  a  5-inning  game,  he 
struck  out  12! 

Thoresen's  latest  exploit  was 
a  2-hitter  against  Rouse  last 
week.  Although  that  in  itself 
isn't  too  unusual  for  fast  pitch, 
one  must  be  reminded  that  for 
62/3  inning,  no  one  on  Rouse's 
learn  got  a  hit!  Only  one  out 
from  the  no-hitter,  Ron  Hand 
got  a  double,  and  then  Coach 
Thomas  singled  him  home,  thus 
ruining  Thoresen's  shutout,  as 
well.  Stevens  won  that  one  2-1. 
Another  surprise  this  year  has 
been  Gryle's  resurgence.  After 
Insin^  their  Firs!  two  games,  they 
have  come  back  and  have  won 
four  games  straight,  before  los- 
ing lo  Rouse  this  week,  5-1. 

Other  scores  in  the  past  iwo 
weeks  include:  Gryte  13,  Ste- 
panske 1;  Gryte  4,  Stevens  3; 
and  Gryte  6,  Ward  2. 

Slow  Pitch 

The  big  story  in  slow  pitch 
has  been  the  demise  of  the 
Gooks,  Afler  (lvurwliclniing  thf 
opposition  in  their  first  three 
games,  they  dropped  their  next 
two  to  Swilley,  9-8.  and  Moore, 
17-13. 

MeanwhUe,  Moore's  team  has 
continued  lo  roll,  and  they  now 
have  a  half-game  lead  over 
Tryon  and  Garner. 

Scores  in  this  league  have 
been:  Garner  9,  Moore  7;  Swil- 
ley 21,  Stanley  7;  Tryon  16, 
Garner  15;  Swilley  7,  WSMC  0 
(forfeit);  Garner  20,  Long  7; 
Moore  7,  WSMC  0  (forfeit); 
and  Garner  18,  Stanley  15.

This  year's  and  next  year's 
Student  Association  administra- 
tions have  both  found  cause  for 
rejoicing.  After  struggling  to 
pay  off  a  seemingly  insurmount- 
able loan  from  the  school  ad- 
ministration for  the  student 
lounge  and  not  making  much 
progress,  the  SA  has  now  solved 
their  problem — or  had  it  solved 
for  them. 

The  students'  problem  is 
solved  because  the  school  has 
decided  to  forget  the  whole 
"loan"  idea.  Although  the  SA 
had  already  paid  off  a  portion 
of  the  loan  through  various 
projects,  the  larger  part  still  re- 
mained— and  looked  as  if  it 
would  for  some  time. 

Therefore,  since  the  money 
had  already  been  paid  out  by 
the  school  and  the  SA  was  hav- 
ing such  a  hard  time  paying  it 
off,  the  school  has  now  stepped 
in  and  pulled  the  SA  out  of  the 
hole  it  was  sliding  into  by  not 
requiring  it  to  repay  the  ap- 
proximate $6000  balance. 

Next  year's  SA  finds  encour- 
agement from  this  decision  be- 
sides other  accomplishments 
they  have  already  achieved.

to  president-elect  Elton  Kerr. 

Kerr  feels  that  a  big  step  has 
been  taken  in  plans  for  hosting 
the  Eastern  Division  of  the  Ad- 
ventist Intercollegiate  College

which  will  bring  to  our  campus 
representatives  from  all  SDA 
colleges  east  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 

The  1970-71  admin  istr.it  ion 
has  also  arranged  to  have  SA 
funds  placed  in  an  interest- 
drawing  account  for  the  first 
time.  The  resulting  interest 
will  provide  an  extra  $600  for 
SA  use. 

Plans  include  having  the 
Joker  (student  directory)  pub- 
lished within  two  weeks  of  the

SMC  Board  Meets;  Votes  on  New  Teachers 


The  SMC  Board  voted  several 
priorities  in  building.  I  hi'  m'din.i-

It  began  with  the  start  of  the  school  ye 
as  long  as  usual.    But  this  time,  mote  students  than  ever  befon 
went  through  those  lines,  and  we  finally  passe 
The   SA   Lounge   opened  then. 

Along  about  this  time,  came  our  "wet"  pici 
and  rain!  And  then  40  students  slipped  away  l

and  held  its  lirst  meeting. 

By  this  lime,  the  year  was  really  gathering  I 
slipping  along  rather  rapidly.  We  exceeded  our  Ingathering  goal 
by  only  seven  cents.  Elder  Robertson  held  our  Week  of  Prayer. 
The  Seniors  organized,  and  Dean  Botimer's  apartment  caught 
lire,  and  half  the  fellows  never  evacuated  the  dorm. 

Oh.  yes,  the  Senate  voted  to  raise  S7.D00  in  some  way  or 
another. 

Then  the  church  decided  to  stop  subsidizing  the  Gate,  and 
Wayne  and  Bob  had  to  find  new  ways  to  finance  their  evange- 
listic project.    Don  Pate  won  the  temperance  orations. 

By  this  lime,  il  was  December,  and  cold  weather  {what  little 
we  have  of  it  here)  started  in.  But  with  December  came  re- 
hearsals for  the  Christmas  play,  and  rumors  thai  Joe  Priest  was 
Scrooge.  SMC  men  spent  one  agonizing  nighl  that  month  as 
draft  numbers  were  picked.  Then  the  train  derailed  by  the

Daryl  Burbach. 

March  came  in  like  a  lion — too  fast.  A  new  constitution  was 
written  and  approved  by  the  Senale  before  students  hardly  had

Tragedy  struck  our  campus  late  lhal  month.  Terrie  Mc-

car  crashed.  For  several  weeks,  the  campus  moved  in  a  quiet 
slupor.    But  school  still  went  on. 

The  SA  constitution  was  passed,  and  plans  began  for  the 
SMC  extravaganza  at  the  Tivoli. 

Then  elections  hit  the  campus.     Posters  cluttered  up  every 

tree    and   building   on  campus.     But  nobody  seemed   to  know 

exactly  who  was  running  until  the  last  minute,  when  the  ballots

On  the  campus  of  Newbold 
College  in  Binfield.  England. 
stands  an  old  parish  church. 
One  may  visit  its  cool,  quiet 
recesses  at  any  time  of  day  or 
night  to  seek  God  in  meditation 
and  prayer.  Its  doors  are  al- 
ways open,  as  is  true  of  nearly 
all  English  churches.  I  found 
this  charming,  and  a  great  im- 
provement over  the  tightly 
locked  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Churches  of  America,  which  are 
used  fur  only  a  few  prearranged 
hours  per  week,  yet  represent  an 
investment  of  millions  of  dollars 
dedicated  to  God.  Each  time  I 
visited  St.  Marks,  I  thought  of 
Collegedale  in  July,  with  our 
beautiful  church  silent,  locked, 
deserted,  its  expensive  air-condi- 
tioners depreciating  in  ihe  hu- 
midilv  while  the  men  of  Talge 
sweltered — a  grim  parallel  with 
the  gilded  cathedrals  erected 
amid  slums  by  the  devout  of  the 
Middle  Ages. 

I  also  found  it  pleasant  to  at- 
tend the  Anglican  services  from 
time  to  time.  The  11:00  meet- 
ing is  called  Divine  Service,  a 
term  also  used  by  British  SDA's. 
No  effort  is  spared  lo  eliminate 
from  it  all  that  is  mundane  or 
unworthy  of  the  worship  of 
God.  In  the  foyer  is  the  "poor 
box."  tit  which  the  parishoners 
depn-it  their  lilhes  and  offerings 
as  they  enter.  It  is  an  ingenious 
device,  similar  to  that  used  in 
the  Jewish  synagogues  of 
Christ's  lime,  as  in  the  "widow's 
mite"  incident.  I  found  this  a 
nice  change  from  the  jangling 
offerings  that  disrupt  the  SDA 
service,  all  too  often  keynoting 
the  sermon  or  worsened  by  a 
I.    Once  here,  a 


diil.l 


liously  dumped  ihe  offering 
e  on  the  floor.  Her  mother 
■ped    her    and    said,    "Jesus 


liis  household. 
Yaunt   for   free   speech, 
Mitchell  Nicholaide* 


doesn't  want  you   to  do  that." 
Strange.     I  rather  thought  He 

might    have   resorted   to   similar 

"Glory  Be  to  the  Father" — a 
text,  a  hymn,  the  doxology.  and 
an  ideal.  How  wise  of  the  Eng- 
lish church  lo  repeat  it  so  often, 
keeping  it  ever  in  view.  Their 
service  is  a  little  formal,  per- 
haps, a  little  stereotyped,  but  a 
much  better  stereotype  than  ihe 
one  I  have  of  Collegedale — ex- 
hortations to  distribute  bills  in 
Ooltewah,  "knock  on  doorbells." 
lower  our  hemlines,  raise  our 
sideburns,  turn  down  our  ster- 
eos, lurn  up  our  sleeves,  buy 
buses,  sell  'Libert v  bonds.'  build 
schools,  smash  TV's,  el  cetera  ad 
nauseam.  If  we  heard  Jesus 
Christ,  and  Him  crucified,  as  the 
iheme  of  each  and  every  ser- 
mon, all  these  things  would  be 
added  unto  us.  We  would  com- 
ply out  of  love  for  God,  not  be- 
cause the  preacher  shamed  us 

We  as  SDA's  have  the  truth, 
of  course,  and  more  than  a  form 
of  godliness  which  denies  its 
power,  as  I  suspect  is  sometime* 
true  of  our  Anglican  fellow- 
Christians.  We  should  be  able 
to  accept  some  of  their  superior 
"externals,"  however,  to  further 
enhance  our  superior  "inter- 
nals." 

One  lasl  point;  the  hymns  in 
our  11;  00  worship  should  be 
stately,  reverent,  and  thought- 
ful. They  should  leave  us  feel- 
ing we  have  been  to  meet  God. 
not  to  a  well-dressed,  well: 
heeled  pep  rally.  A  mathema- 
tician might  suggest  that  the 
number  of  every  hymn  in  a 
good  worship  service  is  less  lhan 
or  equal  to  350. 

I  hope  that  these  thoughts  of 
mine  will  lead  to  a  wider  dis- 
cussion of  these  questions,  and 
ultimately  to  a  more  respect'1 
and  respectable  worship  -em"* 
free  of  grandstanding,  salesman-

loss  of  teachers,  loved  ones,  and 
friends— particularly  the  young 
lives  of  our  classmates,  Terrie

We  met  them.  We  became 
their  friends.  We  felt  their 
presence.  And  through  theirs 
we  sensed  God's. 

We  sang  together  and  laughed 
and  talked  .  .  .  and  cried.  But

this  year,  perhaps  they  will 
have  another  chance  next  year." 


with  such  vividness,  such  ach- 
ing, until  they  are  gone.  Not 
when  they're  such  a  pari  of  us. 
If  we  could  have  known— if 
we  could  have  had  one  last  mo- 
ment together,  knowing  it  was 
will  be  paid  indeed  the  last,  what  would  we 
have  said? 

"You  two  have  really  been 
wonderful  friends.  .  .  .  We  don't 
want  you  to  go  away.  .  .  .  We'll 
miss  you  terribly."  Words  ut- 
tered at  the  doorway  of  empti- 
ness, at  the  pathway  leading  to 
pain  and  finality,  are  trite. 
They're  not  effective.  Would 
we  have  cried?  Or  would  we 
have  been  brave?  Maybe  the 
Man  knew  what  He  was  doing 
when  He  didn't  tell  us — when 
He  didn't  make  us  aware. 

And  suddenly — not  like  the 
gradual  sinking  of  their  lives 
into  our  hearts — they  were 
gone.  They  didn't  come  back. 
Our   minds   still   argue   uncon- 


vincmgly  with  our  hearts  that 
they  won't  be  back — at  least  not 
to  room  260  or  237;  not  to  Char- 
lotte or  Stone  Mountain;  not  to 
these  United  States  or  to  this 
old  earth.  But  they  will  be  hack. 
That's  for  sure. 

Not  a  day  goes  by  without  a 
pang  of  sadness  or  the  bite  of  a 
memory  touching  us.  And  some- 
times,  with  tears  rolling  down 
our  faces,  we  want  desperately 
to  cry  out  and  say,  "Oh,  God! 
Why?"  all  the  time  knowing 
that  we  %       *

Drawing  Students 
Exhibit  Paintings 

Students  taking  Drawing  II 
and  Painting  I  and  II  at  SMC 
are  now  displaying  approxi- 
mately 25  art  works  on  the  sec- 
ond floor  of  Wright  Hall  until 
the  end  of  the  school  year. 

The  original  pieces  are  done 
in  charcoal,  ink,  pastels,  pencil. 
conte,  chalk,  oil,  and  acrylic  on 
subjects  anywhere  from  ab- 
straction to  realism. 

Some  of  the  pictures,  accord- 
ing to  art  instructor  Mrs.  Elea- 
nor Jackson,  were  done  as  the 
class  final  examination.  The 
students  were  encouraged  to 
think  and  illustrate  their 
thoughts,  she  said,  and  to  inter- 
pret Christianity  in  their  own 
experience.  Some  of  the  sub- 
jects were  assigned;  and  the 
others  were  the  students'  own 
philosophical  approaches  to  life. 

Included  among  several  more 
paintings  to  be  added  this  week 
to  the  present  display  are  some 
illustrating  a  Bible  verse  or 
.  great  philo.sopher 
contemporary  fashion.

Santos,  23,  a  combat  photographer  assigned  to  the  173rd  Air- 
borne Brigade,  had  four  months  left  of  his  third  tour  of  duty  in 
Vietnam.

of  science  degree  in  education,  has  been  awarded  an  American 
School  Scholarship  for  $300. 

Before  graduation,  Farr  took  the  Graduate  Record  National 
Teachers  examinations.  His  scores,  a  solid  (»9ih  percentile,  "caused 
amazement,"  according  to  a  report  in  "American  School  News"
