What a change of life-style from being a life-guard at Myrtle Beach to being a pro-
fessional college student again.

But all things change and change happens to everyone. Change is a necessity and
should be expected to occur in ah parts of hfe. In some cases change is a good thing.
Take my bed sheets for example, their screaming to be changed. We change clothes,
we change the radio station, we change our names, we even spend change. So what
is all this leading up to? Nothing really, except that some people may be a Ultle
frustrated over some of the changes that have been initiated here at our beloved in-
stitution. The system that had become so comfortable to many of us has been
disrupted.

Change does not come easy for anybody. When you are used to a system and com-
fortable with the administrative expectations of you as a student and something hap-
pens to change those expectations it can cause some controversy.

But if we didn't change and we became complacent with ourselves we would never
grow. Change causes us to stretch our potential and reach beyond what we have
already attained. With change comes a challenge and with challenge comes growth.

All things change, change is a necessity to life. It should be expected and welcom-
ed as a chance to srow.

Enrollment

By Charlene Spencer

Compared to last year's count at the
close of registration, enrollment is down
this year by 113 students. The number
presently enrolled is 1219. However,
"late registration, nurses consortiums
and academy extensions will determine
the final figure." said MaryElam, Direc-
tor of Records. "A final total of 1350
students is anticipated." she said.

On a larger scale, compared to 1985
emoUment records, the college has lost
at least 1 18 students. The final eiuollment
figure for 1985 was 1468 while the pro-
jected total for 1986 is 1350.

Ron Barrow, Director of Admissions
and Public Relations, attributed this
decrease to three factors. He said that
more students are choosing to attend

community colleges while financial dif-
ficulties and the lack of commitmei
the part of parents and students to ob- L
taining a Christian education are keeping I
others away.

In related areas, where once the Nurs-
ing Division claimed a greater portion of I
the student body, the Business Division I
now runs a close second with a 243-241 \
ratio of students.

According to official records, interest |
in the Humanities Division has risen 2(
percent and specifically by 10 percent ti
the Communications Department

The Honors Program has acquired 29 I
new members bringing the membership I
to 60. "This is the largest enrollment the j
program has ever had." said Jerry Glad-
son, program director.

The Facts About

Crack

Reprinted from
Listen Magazine

"Crack" {or "rock," as il is called on
the West Coast) is one of the newest and
deadliest fads in [he U.S. today. It is a
ready-to-smoke form of cocaine that is
easily affordable by teenagers and has
been called the ultimate high. A close
look at this supposedly new drug,
however, reveals that it is nothing more
than the ultimate rip-off.

The truth about crack and its effects
are examined in the article "Crack: The
Myths and the Menace" in the October
1986 issue of /.irren.

Crack is produced through a simple
chemical process that extracts the cocaine
alkaloid, making it smokable. The im-
purities and "cuu" added by the dealers

are not removed. These cuts can be
anything from corn starch to poisonous
local anesthetics.

"The more intese high derives solely
from the method by which it's used,
namely smoking," explains Dr. Arnold
M. Washton, director of research for
800-COCAINE. "Smoking a drug sends
a high concentration of that drug direct-
ly to the brain in less than 10 seconds."
This is how crack gets its power, not from
the fact that it's a purer or stronger drug.

The most frightening thing about crack
is its abiUty to quickly produce a

this drug-the fact that the high

tense, that it wears off quickly, and that

it leaves the user craving more-all add up

High Blood Pressure and Alcohol

Reprinted from Listen Magazine

"To your health" is a popular toast,
but too much toasting can lead to high
blood pressure, one of the nation's
leading health problems.

Researchers today are investigating the
reladonship between high blood pressure
and the use of alcohol. A new study in
California indicates thai long-term heavy
use of alcohol can contribute to high
blood pressure in some people. The rela-
tionship seems to be more pronounced
among white males over age 55.

The relationship of alcohol to high
blood pressure appears

mplyu

:. Scie

that eavy alcohol consumption may cause
elevated blood pressure, but they are just
beginning to understand this relationship.
and it is unclear how much alcohol is
harmful.

The point when alcohol can become
harmful is called the "threshold." It is
at this point alcohol begins to affect
blood pressure. Some studies indicate one
or two drinks a day are not harmful,

while other studies show a progressive
relationship: the more alcohol consum-
ed, the greater the risk of high blood
pressure.

The California study shows a sLght in-
crease in blood pressure among men who
had one or two drinks a day, but women
who drank the same amount actually
recorded lower blood pressure than abs-
tainers. The strongest relationship bet-
ween alcohol consumption and blood
pressure is found among those people
who reported consuming between three
and eight drinks a day. Researchers ad-
mil the threshold is difficult to determine,
and ihey say it probably varies a great
deal from one individual to another.

This study also showed ihai people
who drank beer and wine had slightly
lower blood pressure readings than those
who preferred Uquor. Researchers believe
th^s difference may be due to the smaller
■ of elhanol (a type of alcohol) in

.- the fact that many beer ana wr
drinkers consume their beverage witli

Fonunately, the effects of alcohol w{

off almost as quickly as a hangov,

Those who drink regularly have con-
sistently higher than normal blood
pressures, but even heavy drinkers who
go "on the wagon" for several days show
a decrease in blood pressure.

Millions of Americans are at increas-
ed risk for stroke, heart disease and
kidney disease because of high blood
pressure. High blood pressure cannot be
cured, but it can be treated. In mild cases,
simple changes inlifestyle may keep the
condition under control. In more serious
cases, physicians might prescribe medica-
tion and encourage their patients to lose
weight, reduce the amount of salt in their
diet and get regular exercise.

For people who are concerned about
their blood pressure, here is a simple sug-
gestion: cut down on alcohol
consumption.

Even though high blood pressure is a
dangerous heahh proglem, it is con-
trollable for most people. The American
Heart Association recommends ihat peo-
ple who have high blood pressure should
follow their doctor's advice.

Who Cares?

By Chris McKee and Tim Peters
At Southern College, "care" has
I become more than a verb. CARE, an
acronym for Collegiate Adventists
\ Reaching Everyone, is the orgeinization
I chat directs all non-academic religious,
I health, and mission activities. CARE
I operates Campus Ministries, Collegiate
T Adventists for Belter Living (CABL),
' Collegiate Missions, and the new Chris-
Leadership Advancement Source
(CLAS).
So who cares? You do. If not, you
I should. Students involved in CARE ac-
:s are guaranteed an exciting, uplif-
ting experience-often the key to a fulfill-
ing school year. Anyone can find an area
of interest in one of their many programs,
which range from the weight-lifting club
0 Friday evening Afterglows. What in-
erests you?

Were you ever given the title "most
likely to wear paisely with plaid"? Are
you comfortable with a three-piece navy
; and brown polyester leisure suit?
CARE has a place in Clown Ministries

D( you have a plump friend, once
I elected "most likely to explode," who is
I ready to moderate his dining habits? The
I road to the petite clothing rack may begin
with CABL. Two-hundred pounds later,
your friend and yourself may become

Is your glassy-eyed roommate a victim
I of midnight hallucinations? Is he often
ome by the urge to plunge to his
[ death from your first-story window? You

have your foot in the door of AWARE,
a substance abuse support group.

Interested in becoming a student mis-
sionary? Collegiate Missions is the first
step toward an adventure spreading the
gospel in the Far East, South America,
the Pacific Islands, or another foreign
mission field.

These are just a few of the programs
offered by CARE. Everyone is invited to
drop in on the CARE officers at their
headquarters in the Student Center. With
their help, one may find a program
perfectly suited to his or her int

By Robbie Shanko

Saturday night, August 30, the Student
Association brought the balmy tropics of
Hawaii to Southern College. Students
came attired in peachy beachy, summer
wear that would definitely turn the head
of Don Ho, himself.

Gifts, games and fruit were some of the
main attractions to the paradise-filled
evening, the main attraction being the
five grass-skirted beauties who passed out
[eis, with a smile and a kiss.

Door prizes consisted of everything
from gift certificates to Baskin Robbins
to stuffed animals. These prizes were
awarded, at random, as names were
drawn from the official brown bag,
assisted by the "lovely" in the orange-
flowered moo-moo. Richard Moody and
Russell Atkins were the masters-of-
ceremony for the evening.

As students met new friends and old
acquaintances, they were entertained by
the Hookie-Lau Singers and the Hula
Girls. The fun of the evening continued
with Limbo, the Blind Skunk, a
members-only game of hacky sack, the
Killer Ring, a football game, and a water
balloon toss which turned into a water

Said Dr. Don Sahly laughingly to the
Hula Girls, "I don't think your skirts
meet up to the college dress code." Scott
McClure rebutled with, "I thought they
looked great." Said Chris McKee,
"Luaus are important because they make
you feel wann and good."

The S. A. officers did a super job and
thank-you to Gary Hoover and Mike
Lorey for the tunes. Also a special thanks
goes to Janelle Nemess and the Hula
Girls for their fabulous job on the stage
decorations.

We hope you all enjoyed the Hawaiian
Luau and until next week. Aloha!

Competition

September 4, 1986/SOUTHERN ACCENT/5

a positive

by Webster

1. A striving against another superiority.

2. A trial of skill or ability as in a contest.

3. Business rivalry between firms for the same market.

4. The struggle for existence among organisms.

It is quite obvious from the above definitions that competition is not only a diverse

erm, but it is also woven into every fiber of the American culture. We as Americans

;an not escape competition. For example, politicians compete for votes, and we par-

I ticipate. Automobile dealers compete for business, and we shop around, aiding in

I [hat competitive struggle. Gas stations have "wars," and the consumers cheer as the

I prices drop. Schools recruit (compete) for students. The head count allows us to cheer

ur success or moum our losses. Young men and women seeking mates compete

I for the best, the loveliest, their "dream come true." And finally, to bring it closer

0 home, if you find yourself in a course where a curve is used to determine grades,
]r if yuour grades will have an effect on your future, the competition becomes fierce,

1 matter of life and death.

So what is the problem with competition? Or is there a problem? How can we deal
I with this aspect of our everyday life so that it will impact us in a positive way rather
I than a negative way?

The idea that cooperation comes from God and competition is from the devil is
1 very narrow concept that is dangerous, to say the least.
God didn't make mashed potatoes, and that doesn't make them bad. But too many,
[ mashed potatoes can be bad. God didn't make competition, and that doesn't make
, it bad, either. But an improper attitude toward competition can be bad.

One of my favorite quotes is this: "The only competition worthy of a wise man
s with himself." -Author unknown

It would seem appropriate to say that as long as a person is SEEKING TO IM-
PROVE HIMSELF, DOING HIS BEST, and is growing phsicaUy, mentally, social-
ly, and spiritually, the competition encountered along the way would not only be
welcomed, but it would be a must. The quahty and availability of automobiles, com-
puters, televisions, public transportation, and our vast communications network have
ulted from competition and free enterprise. Without competition, the above items
I would not be available to all of us.

Where has the problem with competition been? It seems that the traditional pro-
I blem has been (and in some settmgs still is) with competition in sports and athletics.
I ask, "WHY?"

One of the main problems, as I see it, is that the terms "rivalry" and "competi-
tion" have become synonymous when we talk about the negatives of sport. This is
s mislakel Competition m sports and athletics can lead to rivalry, but this is not
lulomatic. It is wrong to assume that every person relates to competition in sports
,n the same way. The business man or educator that becomes obsessed with their
work is called a workaholic and we applaud and promote them. The person who
I gets enthused with sports is immature and has a problem. This is unfortunate. It is
my strong feeling that the key to this dilemna is balance. Balance should be the key
'3 everything we do. A balanced approach to life today would be one that had a
well rounded hfestyle, where the physical, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions
t all persued with vigor, and excellence was the goal in each area. This would
Ji that when you studied, you would study with ail your might. When you wor-
I shipped God, you would be diligent at being totally committed. When you persued
relationships with others, you would become the best friend possible. When you played
-r persued your physical and recreational activities, you would give it all you had— 100
ercent. What a rewarding and beautivul lifestyle this would be. We need to make
I time for each aspect while never trymg to put others down or humiliate them so we
I would look good or so we could advance. Competition isn't bad, but bad people
I do compete. It is the person and not the competition that needs help and direction.

The intramural and recreational activity on this campus are provided a
outlet for students and staff. They are provided for recreation and social ii
as well as for the persuit of excellence in the psychomotor (physical) domain.

It is my opinion that the intramural setting is a fantastic place where young people
can learn to relate positively to competition and show growth and maturity in an
area thai has taken a lot of abuse in the past.

Don't let it be said of you that competition brings out the worst in you. Rather,
let it be said that you are never satisfied with less than your best effort. This would
make for a well rounded, wise person, capable of true competition with himself.

On Behalf Of Worship

By Stan Hickman

This Monday morning I awoke at 6:30
to get ready for the worship I'd be giv-
ing at 7:30. It's hard to wake up so ear-
ly. Last year when I gave worships usual-
ly twenty to thirty guys would show up.
This Monday morning there were eighty-
one pahs of bleary eyes staring at me.
Half of them looked asleep, the other
half were asleep. There were a few "odd-
ball" morning people who looked bright
and cheerful, but they don't count.

The subjea of my worship was choice.
I quoted the first part of Joshua 24:15,
"But if serving the Lord seems
undesirable to you, then choose for
yourselves this day when you will serve.
. ." (I also read Frov. 1:28-33). I went
on to say that being in a system that has
so many rules can fool us mto thinking
we have no choices. But we do have
choices. As I said, "After hearing Dr.
Sahly's presentation and the Deans' 'oh
so brier explanation of the rules, you all
made the decision to stay anyway. This
morning you chose to give up sleep,
breakfast, etc. to attend this worship and
now you can choose whether to listen or
tune out. To remind you that you really
do have choices I'm going to offer you
one. Those who really want to worship
at this time of the morning please raise
your hands." Twelve hands went up.
"O.K., if you guys would please stay I'm
going to give a short prayer and the rest
of you will be dismissed." Seventy-three
guys walked out smiling because a lunatic
R. A. had just given them thek morning
blessing (i.e. worship credit) in under
three minutes. Twelve remained and
heard the promise given in Proverbs
2:1-11, that says the Lord will give
knowledge, wisdom and understanding to

for

I heard later that a couple of guys
thought I was trying to lay a "guilt trip"
on them. Not at all. The point is, we
make decisions constantly. We choose

was just a demonstration of what we do
in our minds. Instead of seventy-three
men sitting there mentally tuning worship
out, they could actually physically walk

When you follow the rules and attend
worship, a choice has been made. WTien
you Usten or tune out, a choice has been
made. You alone choose your life as an
adult; no one does it for you. If you
choose to leave Southern CoUege you can
go. If you choose to foUow or break the
rules, you can do so. Yes, there are con-
sequences to every action, but those are
considered as you choose what you want.
You determine your own life, your own
destiny.

Here at S. C. this year, a very specific
program is being offered. You can choose
to find value in it and use it as an oppor-
tunity to grow closer to your God. Or you
could cruise through it all, mind in
neutral, gouig through the motions, grip-
ing all the while about being forced to do
this and that and having no choice about
it all.

I don't like getting up at 6:30 m the.
morning (I don't hke getting up before
lunch actually). I don't like having to stay
up every night until midnight taking
roomcheck. I don't Uke having to attend
two chapels and five worships a week.
But, I have chosen this job and this
school for good reasons, reasons that are
greater to me than the hiconveniences in-
volved and so I'm choosmg to get the
most value from all of it that I can. I hope
you choose to look for and get the value
out of it too.

Schools Celebrate

College Survival

Washington, D.C, — English Language
ISchools celebrate their 20th anniversary
September, all made possible by
iMaurice and Dorothy Bascom, now in
I Church Ministries and Home Study In-
|ternational at the General Conference.

Called to evangelize Japan in 1964,
I they found no one interested in hearing
J about their Friend Jesus but eager to
Jenhace their business trade in other coun-

Ls by learning to speak English. Despite
I'lheir hesitancy to teach English, the
pBascoms invested their own savings of
I'Sl.OOO to set up a laboratory, secure

■ books and other materials they felt
I necessary. Dottie even prepared a manual

1 vowel pronunciation for the Asian
I tongue.

Using the three-story center built by se-

ond quarter, 1957, 13th Sabbath

I Overflow Offerings, the Bascoms had an

I ideal location near government offices

I and the subway station. However, only

17 answered their first media advertising

the subway system and

■ newspajjers.

Enrollment continued to mount
though, during that first year until it
reached 42. Jim and Ann Fisher, their
former students at Lodi Academy who
were studying at Pacific Union College,
joined them as teachers. By the end of
another year, 250 were studying not on-
ly English, but about ten percent were
also staying for English Bible classes.

By 1970 a branch school was begun in
Korea and other sections of Japan.
Bascoms returned to the University of
Nebraska for Maurice to complete work
on a doctorate in school administration
for this new way in which he was dress-
ing up the old message.

By 1973 there were eight schools, more
than 100 student missionaries, and 3.500
students. By 1978 more than 7,000 peo-
ple were attending a Seveth-day Adven-
tist Language School, and 160 Student
Missionaries were "employed" annually.
Because Indonesia's educational re-
quirements now call for teachers to have
a master's degree or at least two years'
experience, only nationals are keeping the
schools open there.

an education. Although the first few weeks are busy times for all, the classes and
assignments soon run together and discouragement sets in. Although these times are
sometimes unavoidable, it's severity can be lessened by keeping oneself interested
in various activities. In the next few lines, I will attempt to give the reader a few
gems of collegiate wisdom to help keep the blues away.

Hobbies have long been a popular pasttime and for good reason. Relaxing,
structive, and enriching, a hobby can take up as much or as little time as the hob'
byists desires. One particularly exciting field is collecting. While collecting stamps,
books, or baseball cards is gratifying, try something a little different. For instance,
a neighbor of mine, Doug Center, collects paintings done on black velvet. To date,
he has 6 of Elvis, 3 of Waylon, and 33 of white stallions in various poses. Another
one is collecting bones from the vege-meat. Although I haven't seen anyone do this.
I feel it would be interesting.

For those on the active and artistic side, a world of activities awaits you. For the
sports-oriented, try playing handball with your feet.

If the reader is creative, countless options abound. Try building a calculator out
of used Cap'n Crunch toys, or carving world leaders out of styrofoam cups.

Whether it's budding sbt-inch replicas of the Statue of Liberty out of pencil shav-
ings or collecting all twenty portraits of General Conference officials on Worthington
Food Labeb, remember to get involved and don't be discouraged.

Editorial

By Scoil Kinsey
FOR THE RECORD..

I was lalking to a friend of mine today and this editorial idea is his. He didn't
think he would have the time, so I decided to help him. My apologies, Randy, If
the words are not yours. The meaning, I hope, is...

Have you ever wondered how the classrooms you attend class in stay clean? Do
you ever think about the amount of trash on campus (or the lack thereoQ? How about
[he flower beds; who waters, weeds and watches them? Have you ever noticed that
V the time you eat your next meal, the PA system works so
rails gel painted, the telephones work (usually), you have
ime), you have a sports program to participate in, or that
pveted parking spot has a welt-deserved ticket?
: thoughts before, maybe you need to think about

a silent group of people on this c
yet. "Unsung Heroes." They ma
Let me explain...

3 your class, you make y

0 buy a meal in the cafeteria, Campus Kitchen, or K.R.'s
z to wait on you, and help you charge your food. Whenever

1 the library, someone is there to attend to your needs. If
s you want, each building on campus has a host of people seeing that
n looks good for the next day. People take care of your finances, keep

you informed through several media devices, i.e., WSMC 90.5, the "Chatter", the
"Southern Accent", plus numerous announcements and people even keep track of
your birthdays. Whether you realize it or not. these "heroes" make your life much
simpler. Imagine this scenario if you can,..

You wake up late, decide to take a quick shower and then try for your 8:00 a.m.
class. You discover that the boiler in the basement is broken and you are not going
to get any hot water because no one works for engineering anymore. Fine, you say.
After a mad dash for the cafeteria, you find that several of the workers didn't feel
3 work early, so no one made any breakfast. Strike two. Heading on
r way from Talge HaL to the music building. The grass
is very tall, and you ruin your new pair of suede shoes. As you find your desk in
Brock HaU 347, you notice that the chalkboard is filled with notes from yesterday's
class, the trash can is overflowing, your desk is all marked up with pencil marks and
there are several wadded up paper balls under your desk. Your teacher has a movie
planned for your class, but no one from Instructional Media comes to deliver a pro-
jector. You finally leave your class and head for the library. And throughout the
day you keep finding the same things happening. No one is taking care of the cam-
pus and you find that you have to do everything for yourself. Your life at college
becomes a drag because no one is there to help you.

Now I realize that this is very extreme, but I want to stress this point. If it weren't
for the student and staff labor in the many departments, helping you make it through
your day, everything would be so much harder. Nothing would get fixed, cleaned
or run. And school would be a pain.

I write this article today, realizing thai many of you could care less about the peo-
ple who make this campus run. But I urge you to give a "thank you" once in a while,
or let someone know that they've helped you. Remember, without those "Unsung
Heroes", this school would not be able to continue.

How to Win Grades and Influence

1 . Bring the teacher newspaper clippings dealing with his subject. Demonstrate fiery
interest and remember timely items to mention to him. If you can't find clippings
dealing with his subject, bring in any clippings at random. He thinks everything deals
with his subject.

2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly. If you look at your watch, don't stare unbeliev-

The Blood Assurance van was in front
of Wright Hall, September 9 and 10,
from 10:00 a.m. to 6:p.m. Giving blood
helps the community and our school.
Says Grady Lane, group services coor-
dinator ' 'we appreciate all the suppon we
get from all the students and faculty
down there (Southern College). We have
always had a real good relationship and
we're looking forward to pulling off

The thought of giving blood may send
chills up many student's spines, but the
thought of saving a life should outweight
the fear of it aU. Added to the fact that
you are saving lives, you also get
refreshments, 32-teeth grins from cute
nurses, and Blood Assurance t-shirls.

Giving blood not only makes you feel
good about saving a life, but it also gives
yoM coverage in case of an accident in
which you need blood. So, the next time
you see the Blood Assurance van, don't
thmk of the pain and horror you have
always heard about, but instead think of
all the fun, food and relaxation you will
get while laying there saving a life.

Matthews to Speak

Karol Rich in Concert

By Charlene Spencer

Musical minister and vocal soloist Karol Rich will perform a sacred concert at the
CoUegedale Church on September 12 at 8:00 p.m.

Rich has performed throughout the United States over the past four years. She
utilizes a wide range of music that includes old hymn favorites, classical and light
contemporary selections.

"My greatest desire," Rich states, "is to present Christ first, offering encourage-
ment for daily living as we grow in His love." Her three recordings include More
Than Life, Sweet Devotion, and Safe and Warm.

Karol Rich's concert is the first in a series of sacred concerts sponsored by Southern
College. The College Band will perform October 3, and Marshall Kelly will give a
sacred concert on November 7. All the performances will be on Friday evenings at
8:00 in the Collegedale Church.

Hefferlin to Present Research

Dr. Hefferlin will also present this
seminar at California State University in
San Francisco on Friday, September 12.
The research to be discussed in both cases
represents work done together with
several SC students including Gary Bur-
dick, Ken Priddy, and Orvitle Bignall (aU
Physics graduates). Presently, Earl Cor-
nell, Vincent Tan, Emil Dameff, Lizzie
Harper, and Darwin Clark are par-
ticipating in the research.

By Chris McKee
Twice a school year Southern College
sets aside a week for spritual emphasis,
widely known as "Week of Prayer". This
is a time in which students can come
together for spiritual refreshment. This
coming Monday marks the beginning of
Fall Week of Prayer, 1986. During this
week there will not be any worships held
in the dorms. This means that students
must fulfill ail of their five worship re-
'n the church. Services usually

although, some teachers will make
allowances for this special week.

In order to make these meetings truly
out of the ordinary, the school brings in
top Adventist speakers from outside the
Collegdale area who can provide new and
refreshing ideas. This year's speaker, Dan
Matthews, has been Executive Director
and speaker for Faith For Today televi-
sion since May 1 , 1980. Matthews came
to the Adventist Media Center from the
Potomac Conference where he had first
served as Ministerial Director and later
as Executive Secretary.

The Executive Director gives general
leadership to all phases of the Faith For
Today ministry. He is Executive Pro-

ducer for film and video projects, in-
cluding the new television series, "Chris-
tian Lifestyle Magazine." Matthews also
functions as Executive Editor of the print
magazine for "Christian Lifestyle
Magazine," and provides direction for
marketing and other related activities in
the organization.

Matthews' media experience derives
from public relations and communication
leadership in the Oregon Conference. In
addition he produced radio and television

pastoral/evangelistic assignments.

Ministerial opportunities in the Nor-
thwest and East included public
evangelism, Bible study seminars, camp-
meeting classes and devotional series em-
phasizing Christian communications and
spiritual gifts. He has conducted seminars
on pastoral care. Christian leadership and
Biblical preaching.

Matthews holds a Masters Degree from
Andrews University. He Is married to the
former Elizabeth Neufeld, The Matthews
have three grown sons.

We hope that you, as a student body
will gain a great spiritual blessing as Elder
Matthews speaks to each and every one
of our hearts.

Dr. William Richards, known affec-

Richards at his office to see how he was
adjusting to the elusive real world.
Richards seemed quite comfortable in his
crisp, white oxford and with his desk
dominated by a PC and printouts.

' ed to make this career move. "Actually
I did It for more than one reason. After

future. He replied that he was not certain
yet whether he would be teaching or in
the business world. His responsibilities at

writing long-term investment strategy to
tutoring top McKee executives on the use
of micro computers.

Dr. Richards looked very appropriate
in the corporate setting. When talking
about computers, seemingly his favorite
subject, he leaned back in his chair and
crossed his. hands behind his head. For

Issues & Answers

Reverence

By Ron Qua/ley

I came to Southern College six years ago, in 1980, fresh from an academy
background in deanlng. And because of that background, I did some things that first
year thai were "academyish" in nature. For instance, one Friday night at vespers,
I took a student oui from under the balcony and told him nicely, yet firmly, that
if he wanted to talk to please go outside. I, to this day, never felt good about the
mechanics of having to do that act, and never did it again, until six years later, last
Friday night al vespers. And 1 will probably never do it again (or at least for another
six years). I'm not, however, apologizing to that student, or the first one, for trying
to obtain some degree of reverence in the house of God for those who might have
come to worship.

There are some major physical problems in the church (other than our mouths)
like the low ceiling that can make a low whisper sound like Luciano Pavarotti. So
we can put the blame there if we like, but the problem still comes back to us. How
better can we witness than by example? Isn't that what Jesus did in the short time
He was on this earth? A lot of students have come to me and expressed their disgust
at the irreverence in the church, yet Ihey sit in the back and TALK about how noisy

We don't spend much time in HIS house during the week compared to the time
we eat, sleep, drink?, go to classes, socialize, etc. Is God's asking for reverence too
much? I don't think so. "God has commanded nothing that is unessential, and there
is no other way to manifesting reverence so pleasing to HIM as by obedience to that
which He has spoken." Councils to Parents, Teachers, and Students, pg. 111.

Some of you who are leaders may have to set the example. Some of you who have
come to Southern for the "unique Adventist advantage" may have to witness to your
friends who haven't come for that reason. Two deans cannot even begin to control
the back, nor am I sure they should even try. We need your help.

For me, I have solved the problem. I come over early, stand in the back and greet
the students as they come in, then I either leave, or I stand in the foyer in the quietness

Time Out

This Week in Softball

By Robbie Shanko

Butler 11, Beers 8 Faculty 6, Drab 7

The grass was a little long and still west

look the lead and held on. Butler picked
two injured players. Jav McElrov who
was 4 for 4 (Bob Jimenez runs for
McElroy because of a broken foot) and
Jimmy Crone as scorekeeper, who has a
broken arm. David Bante, playing center
for Beers, was also 4 for 4. Iowa made
a force out al home for Butler, and can
usually run out his full swing bunis.
Home runs of the evening include Myron
Mixon's ihree-run homer, David Butler's
ihree-run homer and a grand-slam homer
for Paul Boone.

-► Reid 17, Boyd 15

Boyd's team did their best to hold off
Reid's sluggers. Melanie Boyd and Joy
Richards both hit home runs, trying unn-
successfuUy to put Boyd's team on top.
Kim Robertson keyed the victor for Reid
with her hitting as well as precision
center-fielding. Rumor has it that Don-
na Denton hit a homer for Reid.

Faculty 1, Beers 5

Maynard Wheeler led the charge with
a three RBI home run as Beers beat the
faculty five to one. It was a game mark-
ed with brilliani defensive plays by Mr.
Smith and Steve Vogel.

What's wrong with the faculty team?
Well, that's what the faculty want to
know! They have the same all-siar profs
along with Ken Rogers, the new Col-
legedale chaplain. Maybe they're just get-
ting a little old and need to stick with
chalk and erasers instead of bats and
balls. Anyway two rookie teams, Drab
and Beers, have both defeated the facul-
ty, leaving them with 0 for 2.

Moody 16, Pieper 15

Moody's team led off the game with six
runs in the first inning and did not relin-
quish their lead, finishing the game with
a 16 to 15 win over Pieper, Sunday,
September 7. Moody's team was short a
catcher, a second basemen and a rover,
but managed to make outfield catches
and even double plays. The score kept
moving up as both teams were baiting
well with place hits. Jim Huenergardt,
who just got his fool out of a cast, was
making some hard hits into left field. Us-
ing the speed of Larry Cowen to do the
running for him. In the top of the

Fulbrighi eased to victory Sunday night
in a game that featured solid basehitting
from Rody Hosteter, Tim Chism, and

each. Consistency from the Fulbright
sticks, coupled with Dickerhoff's error
prone outfield, made this one a laugher.

Armchair Athletes

By Robby Shanko

Once believed to be a dying breed,
armchair athletes are increasing in the
Talge Hall television room.

Since the NFL season has begun, the
men in the dorm have been putting off
their history and anatomy to cheer their
teams on. Oh sure, some do bring their
books down and turn to the assigned
chapter only to become glued to the
modern day gladiators in the television
screen. Occasonally after a play or dur-
ing a BuQ Light

business.

What happened last weekend? For those of you who
are now too bhtzed to remember that far back, it was
CARE'S Collegiate Commitment weekend. The object of
this presentation was to alert the student body to the pro-
grams offered by CARE, and to give everyone the op-
portunity to join any club or program that interests them.

As you'll remember, Collegiate Commitment weekend
began with a Sabbath School designed to introduce each
of the thirty CARE programs through a skit, "sUde",
weather report, etc. God made a cameo appearance, en-

couraging Mike Fulbright to get involved despite his am-
bitious class load of four hours. The dramatic blood
donation slogan of "That life you save may be your own"
had over 500 college students simply begging to join the

The main statement behind these activities was this, "In
CARE you'll have fun, lots of fun! You just won't beheve
what a mind-boggling amount of fun you'll have. Real-
ly." A heavy claim, but, the Lawn Concert made for a
pretty convincing example.

What about those of you who didn't sign up for any
CARE program Sabbath? You may have decided to think
about your choices, talk to your friends, and visit the
CARE office sometime later. Can you still join a club?
Forget it. Tough. You are hopelessly locked into a bor-
ing school year. Only kidding. Of course you can siill
join. Grab your Garfield pencil and run up to the CARE
office now. The CARE officers have no desire to cheat
you out of the fun you'll have in a CARE program just
because your blue card wasn't fiUed out Sabbath
morning. __

That afternoon S.C.'s annual Lawn Concert, spon-
sored by CARE, featured impressive student talent along
with professional musicians Bill Young and Duane
Hamilton. Flawless weather and inspired performances
made for a great Sabbath.

Week Of Spiritual Emphasis

2/SOUTHERN ACCENT/September 18, 1986

Editorial
Relationships and Such

By Brett Hadley

This week I have nothing particularly inspirational
gods did not reach down from on high and strike m
instead, 1 would like to share with you something that happened to me recentl>

Just the other night a good friend and I, I say a good friend not to denote th;
I have any bad friends but just to emphasize this particular person is of special in
poriance to me, were talking about relationships over cappucino and cheesecaki

As we were discussing the many different aspects of multi-dimensional relation-
ships 1 was analyzing the progressiveness that a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship has.
There seems to be certain steps of progression (hat a developing relationship follows.

First of all there is the initial eye contact made between two individuals. It car
happen anytime, anywhere and to anybody. For instance, Mr. Average collegi
dent, who Is on his way to class, busy with thoughts of scholastic endeavors, is
denly struck down by a freshman vision of beauty. He sees not in his eyes a typical
underclassman, but a walking goddess of love. He is hooked and he will not rest
easy until he has formally made her acquaintance. So he sets his endeavors to quench
the uncontrollable desire he has lo meet this person. The next step is a hard one
- the Initial asking out for the first date. It takes a lot for a guy to pick up the phone was
lo talk lo a strange girl for the first lime. And often ihe conversation is a little the
awkward, but surmounting the obstacles of a first time introduction, a date Is made
and excitement reaches an all time new high.

Actually going out on this date can be a challenging and eye-opening experience.
Now, when you go out with someone for the first time, it usually feels a little strange
because you don't really know each other. So you spend most of the time asking
questions and getting to know each other better. If it's a good date, the more you
learn, the more you like about thai person, and it sparks enthusiasm to learn even
more about them. If it's a bad date, you go dutch and ask her for gas money.

We'll pretend it was a good date and just merely being with the person makes you
want to move progressively onward lo bigger and better experiences wilh them. And
it turns out that all the time you spend with the person just motivates you to spend
even more time wilh them. You have an unquenchable desire to be with them and
learn more about ihem. Now, you don't, and shouldn't, allow this passion to become
all enveloping, to the point that you exclude other activities and interests of your
life, such as scholastic achievements and sports, or whatever It is that trips your trig-
ger. Instead you want this person to be involved In those things, become a part of

By Lynford Morton

Dr. Don Sahly will be inaugurated as Southern College's 22nd president on Mon-

iay, September 22, 1986. The ceremony, which begins at 5:30 p.m. will be held in

■ the CoUegedale S.D.A. Church. The purpose of an inauguration. Dr. Sahly states,

's not to put himself in the limelight. It gives the college an opportunity to invite

Deople from the Chattanooga business community and once here, they have a chance

o see, first-hand, what Southern College is really hke and what makes us different.

A working committee of seven people has been appointed to plan the celebration.

|Char!es "Chick" Fleming, Chairman of the committee, echoed the president's sen-

' 1 for the inauguration. "It gives the board a chance to of-

■ficially welcome the new president and introduce him to students and the public. On

Top of that, it's an opportunity to reaffirm our committment to Christian education

pnd heighten the visibilityof our college and it's goals."

Delegates from at least 45 major colleges and universities such as; Yale University,

peorge Washington University. Northwestern University, the University of Califor-

■~ *i Berkley and Fisk University, are expected to attend. Representatives from each

jr nine Seventh-day Adventist Colleges in North America will be present also.

The theme of the inauguration is "Reaffirming Christian Values." Norman Woods,

president of Loma Linda University is to be the evening's speaker. He will be presented

py Dr. Gordon Madgv^ck, Executive Secretary of the North American Division Board

p^f Higher Education, and the seal of office will be presented by Alfred C. McClure,

■" lirman of the Southern College Board of Trustees and President of the Southern

on. Continuing in the spirit of the evening, all 115 faculty members will also join

i reconsecration service in which they reaffirm their dedication to Christian

jeducation.

An inaugural reception for the faculty, staff, students and close friends of the col-
ege is scheduled to be held Sunday evening, September 21 , from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.
^ the cafeteria. A post-inauguration banquet, hosted by the Board of Trustees for
hatlanooga Business, Professional, and Educational Representatives, will be held
n Monday night. Several board members are personally picking up the tab for a
>unday evening reception and other expenses connected with this happy celebration
t SC's past and future.

Dr. Sahly began his duties as president on June 8, when the position was vacated
''^^^^y^sgner. To the presidency, he brings fifteen years of experience in teaching
Id administration. Most recently, he served as Associate Director of Education for
•i Far Eastern Division of Seventh-day Adventists and supervised all the S.D.A.
hools in the Phillipine/Guam area. Completing his accomplishments in the east,
r Sahly directed Home Study International, which is a fully accredited college cor-
spondence school with headquarters in Washington D.C.

He earned his Doctorate in Educational Administration at the University of the

leitic in Stockton, California. The degrees of Bachelor of Science (Elementary

Faucaiion and History) and Master of Arts {Educational Administration and

tendance and Counseling) were conferred on him by Andrews University in Berrien

pnngs, Michigan.

, One of his major goals. Dr. Sahly states, is along the same vein as the theme for
e inauguration. It is to reaffirm our commitment to Adventist education and to
liddTth °^^ '^*^^'^ '^^'*^'' ^^^^ "^ unique as a people and a school. In addition, he

Federal Grant for TLC

Federal grant money for the Teaching

Development ;

The TLC program was especially
developed for first time students. These
are students whose parents did not attend
college. The program is designed to give
these students a place to come for help.

The grant has run for four years,
started in 1982 by Richard Reiner, former
SC business manager. Every year
Southern was lo pick up more of the ex-
penses, eventually paying for the entire
program. As of now SC pays for the stu-
dent tutor salaries, but beginning
September 30 ii will have to pay for non-
student employees, supplies, and

around 543,000 per school year.

Revenge of the R.A.'s

By Scan Hickman

Why would anyone want to be an R.A.? An honest "Want Ad" looking for an
R.A. candidate might read something like this: We're looking for a few good men
(good and stupid) who want a real chaLenge at low pay, with long hours that go
late into the night, who like janitorial grunt labor, weekend work; someone who
relishes dirty looks, muttered insults, audible snyde remarks and doors slammed loudly
behind them. If you enjoy long conversations with deans and meeting lots of strange
people (students) in unusual situations (in trouble), this job is for you.

Fifty to seventy men apply yearly for the 12 R.A. positions. Why? Menial illness
is a distinct possibility. An average day in the life of an R.A. is filled with many
shon but memorable moments. During registration one R.A. was woken up at 2:00,
3:30 and 5:00 in the morning to open doors for some gentlemen who couldn't wait
until morning for assistance. It is impossible to meet anyone on time, because on
your way out of the dorm, you get stopped to answer questions, help someone find
the dean or to open a door for someone who chronically loses keys.

One day in the life of an R.A. may go something like this: 6:30 a.m. - get up.
7:30 a.m. - give worship. 8:00 a.m. - go to classes like a normal student. 12 noon
- eat lunch and socialize like a normal student. 2:00 p.m. - vacuum hall, take out
trash and clean water fountain. 3:00 p.m. - begin a very long nap (because of a friend
or person on your hall who needed to talk late last night). 7:00 p.m. - hand out wor-
ship cards and pick them up. 7:30 until 10:00 p.m. - on duty with the deans. 11:00
p.m. - take nightcheck. 1 1:40 p.m. - take second check. 12 midnight - begin study-
ing. By Friday, the R.A.'s are ready to crash. Then comes weekend duties - Friday,
Saturday and Sunday night check. Sabbath church check, possibly a Sabbath shift
at the desk or passing out vesper cards on Friday or Saturday night. Sabbath becomes
very special to an R.A. Rest is wonderful.

When we are in our rooms on duty, our doors remain open so that the guys know
we arc available. Available for what, no one knows. The R.A. meeting raises a lot
of curiosity. The group is often seen laughing hysterically. Yes, we are permitted to
smile and even laugh. We begin each meeting with an R.A. reading a selected scrip-
ture, giving a short talk and then prayer. Then the deans inform us of upcoming
duties, special situations, etc. Then, each in turn, the R.A.'s have an opportunity
to ask questions or talk about any problem situations on their halls. The guys yuck
it up a lot. It's a great way to relieve tension and just feel good. When things go
rough with a friend or one has a problem on
a group of guys who are sharing

As an R.A. I've discovered a couple of things I didn't know. The deans really car
about the guys in this dorm. They constantly encourage us to be available and i
listen and be helpful, especially for those who are having troubles - troubles sue
as homesickness, depression from a realization of how tough college can be, fromi
being a somebody in high school to being an unknown in college. Other probler
such as breaking up with a girifriend, troubles at home, troubles with a roommaieH
- the list is as long and as varied as there are individuals in this dorm.

I've learned that each R.A. copes with the stress of the job in a different v,
every R.A. I know hates to tell anyone anything. It's very difficult to confront p
pie over music, excessive loudness in the halls, televisions, improper posters, etc.
so much easier to want to just be everybody's friend so everybody will like us. I
the job doesn't allow us to choose that.

No one ever likes to be told what to do, nomaner how nicely it's put. As an R
you expect flack, but it makes it no easier to take. Each negative reaction hits ■_
in the stomach and it hurts. Some R.A.'s tend to react by putting up a front andB
they get in a gruff and author its true manner. Some cope by complaining t
other R.A.'s about what's happening to them. Some cope by giving up and letting!
everything slide (which makes another R.A. have to take up their slack and deal w
two times the troubles).

Before I became an R.A., I stereotyped them. That wasn't intelligent on my pan!
Each one is a very different individual, with his own needs, desires and ways of copi
ing with a good but often difficult job. The men in the dorm rarely see that R./
who stands at their door hesitant to knock because he doesn't want to tell a frien(
he has to take his speakers. The students don't see the anguished looks on the R.fi
faces when a friend of theirs is in serious trouble and he may face suspension or wo)
Students rarely realize that an R.A. is a person too, who huns and suffers. The jotl
isn't easy, especially when you really care about people. Next time you get in a situ
tion with an R.A., try and remember that he may be feeling as uncomfortable
you. Just like you, he wishes that the situation wasn't necessary. There is no amou
of money that can make up for those rejections, for those nasty looks, those mi
tered insults and those slammed doors. Believe it or not, your R.A. wants to be
friend and have a good relationship with you. If you give him half a chance (eveil
telling him your fnistrations) you'll probably discover he's a lot like you and r
quite so bad after all.

VIEWPOINT: Of

Inaugurations
and Grace

resembles a graduation. Both use specific
costumes and regalia. Both are celebra-
tions: a graduation celebrates the ending
of an era; an inauguration the beginning.
A corporate entity (the college) confers
degrees upon graduates; the same entity
inaugurates a president. Both celebra-
tions are designed to make statements
about the philosophy and beliefs of the
college. But there seems to me to be an
understandable difference between the
two: we are conditioned to graduations
because they are commonplace in our ex-
perience, but we have no reference point
by which lo relate to inauguration.

Yet we will, in a few days, be center
stage in the greater Chattanooga com-
munity because of our celebration. And
there is just cause to celebrate. Southern

quiet obscurity. Southern is still here. It
is well respected in the general academic
community, in its immediate environs
and by it's constituents. Proof of this is
apparent in the number of academic,
biisiness and other leadership people who
will be here specifically for this
celebration.

The official message of the inaugura-
tion, it seems to me, is that this college
has at least two large assets going for it:
committment and class. Frankly. I'm
glad Chick Fleming and his committee
arc promoting both.

But I also see a need for the evidence
of the Christian virtue of grace. Let me
suggest at least one spin-off to the con-
cept of grace-that of waciousness. What

a powerful statement of our belief in
Christian relationships will be made if all
of us who parlicipate-students, staff,
faculty, administrators and board
members will exhibit altitudes of
graciousness. It may not be easy for this
virtue to shine through the pomp and
ceremony that are legitimate aspects of
an inaugural celebration. But if grace,
and sepcifically graciousness, is honestly
obvious, then the official statement of
Christian committment will have a basis
on which it can be practiced.

Graciousness is as much a part of this
college's heritage as is our belief in the
Adventist lifestyle. Perhaps this inaugural
celebration will focus not only on our
beautiful surroundings, our heritage of
academic strength and spiritual committ-
ment, but also on the practice of
Southern Christian graciousness. If so,
we will all be stronger for it.

The President's Lecture
\Series: A Closer Look

By Kev Gepford

The publicized inauguration of

I Southern College's President, Donald R.

ISahly, wilJ be accompanied the same

I week by another high event on campus,

September 18, 1986/SOUTHERN ACCENT/5

I dent's Lecture Series, the distinguished
"sculptor Alan Collins will be presenting
0 sculpture demonstrations portraying
J the condition of man on the 25th and the
|26th of September.

Alan Collins serves as a professor of
t Loma Linda University, California,
the La Sierra Campus. His
background and works are international
pn scope, having been bom in Britain and
been commissioned to do
us works of art for both churches
■and public buildings on either sides of the

■ Atlantic Ocean. Among the most notable
I of his handiworks is the memorial to the
I late President Kennedy at Runnymede,

■ England, which he created for the Ken-
Inedy Memorial Trust. Perhaps a bit
I closer to Adventist interests, however, is

: larger-than-life group, "The Good
I Samaritan," located near the Loma Lin-
I da University Medical Center, and a large
I abstract sculpture on the campus of An-
Idrews University, Michigan.

As a guest speaker on the Southern
■College Campus, Professor Collins will
Itransform 100-pound chunks of model-
ling clay into large heads, illustrating the
I stages of life and the emotions of living.
iHis sculpture demonstrations have been
penjoyed by audiences from coast to coast
and in Canada and Hawaii as well. He
assisted by Dr. Dorothy Minchin-Comm,

■ professor of English at Loma Linda

University (La Sierra Campus) in ad-
dressing mankind as a unique being
among all created species. Dr. Minchin-
Comm has compiled a background of
music and narrative literature to highlight
the theme of the two programs they will
be presenting at the Collegedale Seventh-
day Adventist Church. On Thursday,
September 25, they will present the first
of their programs for chapel at 10:30
a.m., entitled "The Passions of Man."
Collins depicts the six most basic passions
which characterize human existance: fear
anger, pride, greed and lust,' mirth, and
joy and contentment using two large
heads of modeling clay, one male and one
female.

The program to be given on Friday
evening at 8 p.m., "The Ages of Man,"
commences with a clay model of a head
of a newborn baby on which Collins
traces the changes of a lifetime through
the stages of an infant, child, young
lover, soldier, mature adult, to an old
man, with an epilogue of immortality ac-
companied by music and readings.

Although the visiting professors Col-
lins and Minchin-Comm have a busy lec-
ture tour planned, with visits scheduled
for Oakwood College and Andrews
University, they will be present on our
campus for the entire week of September
22-26, They would welcome any students
who want to talk to them or any teacher
interested in inviting them to address a
class. To make the most of the time that
these guests will be on campus, anyone
may make an appointment to see them
through the secretary of the Humanities
Division at Brock Hall.

Dear Lori

By Lori Heinsman
Dear Lori,

What's the deal with KR's Place having such a limited menu? I cannot hve without
my bagels and cream cheese, or my chips and cheese!

•Hungry in the Student Center

Dear Hungry,

I know what you mean about missing your bagels, I've had a taste for them too.
Fortunately, we won't be kept waiting much longer. According to the lady who runs
KR's Place, Karen Eckright. the items missing on the menu are on their way. The
"latecomers" have been ordered and should be ready to pop inti "
next week (she hopes!).

Dear Lori,

Why do so many students choose to ride the elevator in the music building when
they are perfectly capable of walking the stairs? ! know that the elevator is appropriate
for those who are physically restrained or for people carrying heavy loads, yet many
students opt for the easy way up simply because they are lazy. If more students would
be willing to use the stairs, they would derive cardio/vascular benefit as well as sav-
ing the school more watts per $()uare perEon, or something like that.

Sincerely,
The Elevator TroU

"Gross, what are those sounds they're
making? Is somebody dying?" " What
do you wanna look Hke that for?" " Oh
sick, you're dripping with sweat." " It's
all ego." These are just a few of the many
sophisticated comments people make
about weightlifting. Weightlifting is the
most misunderstood and maligned of all

Weightlifting is an excellent exercise
thai is optimal for shaping the body and
losing fat. Weightlifting can be done by
any person, male or female, with any
shape, at any weight. Weightlifting
teaches discipline as well as providing a
physical outlet for emotional frustrations.
These are just a few of the endless reasons
why you should be weightlifting.

Most everyone would like to aher the
shape of their body. For those without
the money for expensive medical surgery,
weightlifting and diet is the only complete
answer. By controlling calorie intake and
selecting a body-building program that
will work the areas you want firmed the
most, you can grow, harden and re-define
the shape of your body.

Fitness is from the whole body, you
cannot isolate a body part to lose fat
from. But you can isolate a body part in
weightlifting and make it grow, and
growth of muscle means firmness and
definition. Also muscle tissue burns lots
of calories all day long, and so if you
have lots of muscle you can eat lots of
food and still lose fat!

Anybody can weighllifi and everyone
can make gains in their strength and
muscularity. Women tend to grow mus-
cle faster than men in the first three
months of working out. so they see
i quickly. When you have never
touched weights, your growth rate is
many times faster than an already ex-
perienced and big weightlifter. You get
and see results quickly, which encourages
you to keep at the lifting and keep at the

Weightlifting releases stress. When you
pump iron it feels much better than pun-
ching faces. Every day, frustrating things
happen, every day we have to think and
study. In the weight room, you don't
think about anything: just bags and
plates, sets and "reps" (ever heard the
term musclehead?). At the end of a
workout, your body is exhausted but
your brain is refreshed and you feel so,
so relaxed.

If you want aerobic exercise, then cir-
cuit weight training, jumping from exer-
cise to exercise with little or no rest. You
increase aerobic capacity and you build
muscular endurance and size. Whatever
you need to do, weightlifting can help
you do it. With weightlifting you learn
how important nutrition is because when
you don't eat right, your muscles don't
heal and you don't grow. You learn to
listen 10 your body. You learn that you
can change your body and develop
discipline. You gain confidence, and that
can carry over to all aspects of your life.
Weightlifting is awesome - just ask
Gilbert, Raul, Glenn or any other
musclehead.

Care Corner

CARE'S Target Evangelism

By Tim Peters

A target evangelism team from
Southern College met with a local church
group to distribute copy's of "Happiness
Digest" to Chattanooga residents this
past Sabbath afternoon. A van full of
students, armed with these versions of
"Steps to Christ", spent their Sabbath
participating in this outreach program.

What is "target evangelism"? It is
CARE'S literature distribution program.
Target evangelism has enjoyed much suc-
cess in this area, for the distribution ef-
forts of local churches and S. C. have
caused over 600 people to enroll in mail-
in Bible Studies. An impressive number.
One that can grow even more.

CARE invites everyone to get involv-
ed in Sabbath afternoon target
evangelism. It is a relaxed, fun way to get
out and meet people while making a
religious impact. One participant said,
"It's no problem. You aren't asking peo-
ple for anything. Most are more than
willing to accept a book. ' ' The entire goal
of target evangelism is to gel the literature
in the hands of the people, not to demand
immediate baptism. A polite, rela.\ed ap-
proach is all that is required.

Tired of spending your Sabbath after-
noons asleep? Get a few friends together
and give target evangelism a shot.

Southern's 96-year history. Though
President Don Sahly is the 22nd presideiil
to undertake the challenge of leading this
institution, his was the firs- formal
inauguration.

The 5:30 p.m. time for Monday's in-
augural service in the Collegedale SDA
Church was a bit unusual, so classes and
labs were cancelled to permit students to
attend. A number of ihem did, in addi-
tion to those singing with the male
chorus-Die Meistersinger-playing in the
Brass Ensemble, or helping as ushers. .

Dr. Norman J. Woods, president of
Loma Linda University, gave a brief in-
augural address, but not until greetings
were presented on behalf of various en-
tities, such as the Board of Higher Educa-
tion in Washington, D.C., and the Chat-
tanooga business community. Bill Bass
spoke for the Student Association, and
Ray Hefferlin for the faculty and staff.
Other student delegates included Brenda

Jill Rice, sophomore; and Keith Di

"From a student viewpoint, I thought
it was an impressive and colorful event,"
said one student. "I especially liked the

them, they kept moving right along withi
very little repetition."

of recently asking "What is ultimaiel

students from SC who have just enter

to report that a frequent answer expressX
ed the idea of "losing myself in

pointed up in a number of ways why a
private school such as ours has i
vitally important place in our society!
which so strongly supports public educaT
tion (divorced as it is from Chriatian

Introduction To Life

By David Kim
Why would seven sane college students knowingly pay an extravagant fee to have
their hot shower privileges taken away for three weeks? What reasoning might drive
these students to indure meals too repubive for vagrant squirrels? For what ugly pur-
pose would they submit their bodies to torture from the dark forces of nature** The
answer lies deceivingly in the form of a course called ' ' Sysematic Botany in the Smoky
Mountains."

On May 5th, 1986, seven brave souls, including Jim Malone, Greg Wilkens Joe
Orquia, Carl VoUberg, Pat Hawkins, Lisa Springetl, and David Kim, led by Dr. Duane
Houck, left the Southern College campus on a quest for botanical knowledge This

Thatcher Hall welcomes two new deans
this year. Mrs. Sharon Engel and Mrs.
Jeanette Bryson have become two new
additions to the Thatcher Hall dean staff.
The two associate deans will work with
Dorothy Somers, who is currently the
head dean at Thatcher Hall.

Mrs. Bryson attended Pacific Union
College in California where she received
her B.S. degree in elementary education
and religion. She earned her masters
degree in education at San Diego State
University.

While visiting this summer from
California, Mrs. Bryson was interviewed
for the job of associate dean at Thatcher
Hall. In California, she taught English at
Orangewood Academy in Garden in San-
ta Ana. Nine years ago however, she serv-
ed as dean of women for Kingsway Col-
lege in Ontario, Canada.

Mrs. Bryson also spent time abroad
with her late husband, George E. Bryson.
The two lived for 12 years in West Africa

where Mr. Bryson was a ministe
mission president. Mrs. Bryson w„^ „„
adviser of community projects and public

health programs. She also taught English
and deaned,

Mrs. Sharon Engel is a native i
Nebraska, and it was there that she a.- ,
tended Union College. She has deaned |
previously at Sunnydale Academy in
Missouri and Ozark Academy in Arkan-
sas. Most recently she worked at Garden I
State Academy in Tranquility, New-
Jersey as dean of women.

Richard, Mrs. Engel's husband, does
carpentry work. The couple have two
children. Robin, 20, attends Rutgers
University, and Richard, 17, is a student
at the Collegedale Academy.

Mrs. Engel expressed her feelings
about coining to Southern College, "I ,
have found true Southern hospitality here j
and feel right at home. The students a
friendly and warm, and I am already e
joying my work."

Triatha-excitement

By Bob Kamieneski

On Sunday, Sepi- 21, ai 7:00 a.m. the
Southern College Physical Education
Depanmeni, with the help of many of its
physical education majors and CABL,
conducted iis third annual triathalon. The
event consisted of a half mile swim, a
29.5 mile bike ride, and a 6.2 mile run.
The weather and water conditions were
ideal for the event and as every one
gathered the excitement of the event fill-
ed the air.

The swimming ponion of the triaihaon
began at Cohutta Springs Camp. The gun
sounded to begin the event at approx-
imately 7:40 a.m. Thirty contestants from
Andrews University, Southern College,
Collegedale Academy, Shenandoah
Valley Academy, Georgia-Cumberland
Academy, Mt. Pisgah Academy, and
several local entrants dove into the water
to begin the event.

The first triathletes to leave the water
were Todd Hunt (14:21), Brian Craig
(14:24), MicheUe McCurdy (15:32). and
Dave Nerness (15:59). Rob Shanko
helped clear the water by picking up the
rear with a time of 30:15,

At this point, the transition between

the temperature began warming up, as
was the pace of the triathalon. During the
cycling phase.

ly exchanging places, but when this part
of the triathalon ended, most of the top
athletes were near the lead. Todd Hunt
and Dave Wiedemann had captured the
lead at this point with identical combin-
ed swim and cycle times of 1:38.26.
Following them were Todd Wilkens,
Dave Nerness, and Brian Craig.

The transition from cycling to running
is one of the most difficult physical feats
in any sport as was witnessed by the many
spctator. The mid-day heat was beginn-
ing to take its toll at this point as the
triathaletes began to fight the pain of
aching muscles and dehydration.

When the triathalon came to its con-
clusion, Dave Nerness had taken the vic-
tory. It was a victory that saw Nerness
break his own course record by over two
minutes with a time of 2:21.1. Dave
Weidemann placed second, Todd
Wilkens third, Brian Craig fourth and
Gerald Wilkens was fifth. The First place
female finisher was Sherry Wright from
Shenandoah Valley Academy with a time
of 3:14.30. Michelle McCurdy of Col-
legedale Academy was the second female
finisher with a time of 3:26.53.

A new worship schedule just developed this summer provides 13 opuons each week.
Residence hall students will now attend worship at least once a day, five days each

Editorial

Dear Editor:
I do appreciate the concen
1 enjoy being the editor of the Southern Accent. There is a certain quality of in- of all us students. Seriously, :
sanity that makes the job very enjoyable. Often, the staff and I spend long nights believes strongly enough in the spiritual dimension of our school to tnake bold chan '"* I

putting everything together. After a while these have a way of catching up

so we have devised several different methods of keeping each other awake and in

touch with reality.

First, [here is putting your face over the air-conditioner with the controls on "high
cool". Also we go into the darkroom and take turns sniffmg old photo chemistry
(that's always a real eye-opener), and if we get desperately tired. . . we go to bed.

To me, though, it's more than the endless nights spent on lay-out, and more than though
the hundreds of Dunkin Munchkins and gaUons of milk we consume. It's the oppor- where \
tunity lo give you, the student, a chance to voice your opinions.

To illustrate my point, let me tell you about this crazy vision I gel sometimes on
one of those long nights in the office, I dream that I'm a vailant knight riding on
agalJant, white steed whose name is "Accent". I'm wearing a mangnificently gleaming
suit of armour. My left hand holds an immense shield that brilliantly git
sunlight. In my right hand I'm holding a razor sharp, double-edged swc
inscription embedded into it that reads, in big, bold Greek letters, "Student Voice".
1 am the defender of student rights and below me is a giant dragon I have just slain,
and his name was "Administrative Injustices". The vision goes on with me riding
off into a glorious sunset with a fair maiden from another Student Association pro-
duction, but that's irrelevant.

I know it sounds crazy, but my point is this: without the input of your opinions,
as a student of Southern College, I'm going to get burned in the dragon's lair. The
Southern Accent is dead in the water without student voice. We have no horse, shield
or sword vrithout your input (I can handle the fair maiden myself). The Accent needs

leading to their return. If you have
any information,^ease contact
the chaplain's office immediately at
ext. 787.

I was iate for Wednesday night prayer meeting last
week and had to sit near the back. Now 1 wish I had
been on time. There were people talking and studying
throughout the entire service. I know most of the peo-
ple that come to worship only go because they are
made to. It was obvious they would rather be talking
with friends or studying Health and Life.

I am writing this letter because I feel that something
should be done about the studying and the talking that
goes on in the church during any meeting, whether it
be a Wednesday night prayer meeting or a Tuesday-
Thursday chapel. No one but the student can help keep
the noise level down during meetings but the faculty
could ban books from the church as they have done
in the past. In Leviticus 19:30 it states, "Ye shall keep
My sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the
Lord." The church is the house of God where we come
and sing praises to Him and worship Him. It is not
a library or a study hall for students to study their
school work but to study God. According to the dic-
tionary, reverence is an act of showing respect. When
someone invites you to their house, you respect them,
you pay attention to what they are saying.

So next time you attend a meeting in the church,
don't take your books or talk to your friends. When
you listen to what the speaker has to say. it makes him
feel more comfonable-just put yourself in his shoes.
If you had prepared a speech for class and when you
were giving that speech everyone was either talking to
their neighbor or studying for another class, you would
feel rejected. Besides, the speaker might have
something good to say and you might end up a better
person for listening to him instead of talking or
studying.

What does one do after ihirty-five years of leaching and practicing medicine? The
obvious answer is— retire. Thai is what Dr. Robert K. Wolfer, Ph.D., D.O.. did
several years ago. But Dr. Wolfer enjoys teaching so much he is back doing it again—
and this time he is volunteering! The Southern College Biology Department is lucky
to have Dr. Wolfer teaching one of his specialties— anatomy.

After obtaining his D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) from Kansas City College of
Osteopathic Medicine, and ihen his B.A. in Biology and Chemistry from Andrews
University, Dr. Wolfer taught such classes as anatomy, histology and embryology
at Michigan State, where he secured his Ph.D. in zoology and anatomy, Des Moines
College of Osteopathic Medicine, Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery,
and held (he position of Chairman of the Department of Radiology and Nuclear
Medicine at West Virginia State College of Osteopathic Medicine.

This is not all Dr. Wolfer has done — while leaching, and between leaching
assignments, he practiced medicine privately. He was a General Practitioner and
Radiologist in Missouri, Florida and Michigan.

■, has given lectures at various
.ssociation for the Advance-
ment of Science, and as a matter of course, he is a member of AOA (American
Osteopathic Association) and NASDAO (National Association of Seventh-day Adven-
lisi Osteopaths).

Why is Dr. Wolfer volunteering his time? His answer is "for the fun of it." He
leaches for the "pleasure and excitement of helping students learn. ..and to pass along
some clinical, practical applications while they're learning."

Welcome aboard. Dr. Wolfer and thank you for your missionary service at our
college.

Soviets Free Daniloff

New York (NYTImes News Service and Associated Press) -- On Monday, the Soviet
Union freed Nicholas Daniloff, the American Journalist who had been confined to
Moscow for the past month on spying charges. Daniloff's release occurred after a
three hour meeting late Sunday in New York between Secretary-of-Slate George P.
Shultz and Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze at the Soviet Mission. U.S.
officials asserted that Daniloff was arrested on trumped-up charges of espionage in
retaliation for Soviet U.N. employee Gennadiy Zakharov's August 23rd arrest. The
Soviets denied a link between the cases and insisted that Zakharov was framed by
the FBI.

House Immigration Bill Tackles Fake Marriages

Washington (AP) - The House of Representatives voted Monday to stiffen federal
penalties for immigrants who fraudulently take wedding vows with Americans to gain
immediate entry into the United States and then have the marriages annulled. The
House boosted the criminal penalties for fraudulent immigrant marriages to a $250,000
fine and five years in prison. A conditional two-year award of permanent resident
status for certain newly married aliens was approved, providing the couples would
prove their marriages legitimate. In addition, "fiance" visas would be denied to aliens
who have not personally met their intended American spouses.

All Night Softball

Bv Robbie Shanko

Ai 5:49 a.m. , Sunday morning, the 1986 All Night Softball game came to a close
wiih Randy Beers' team the victor. Assisted by Maynard Wheeler, who was named
Most Valuable Player of the tournameni. Randy Beers and team edged away a 9-8
victory over Captain David Butler and his veterans. Beers figured that the more games
they won. the less games they would have to play, thus giving themselves more free
time between games. Thus, ihey only played and won four games including the final
against Butler.

Butler's team played five games straight, without a break, from 12:00 a.m. until
5:49 a.m., besides the two games they played earlier. Though they were exhausted,
they managed to come in second place.

The games began at 8:00 p.m., Saturday evening, September 27, with 14 teams
ready lo test their skills and endurance. It was a double elimination lournament which
allowed two losses per team before being eliminated.

The weather for the evening was excellent! Everyone preferred the warmer weather
as to the freezing temperatures of last year. As a resuh, fans came out in record
numbers to cheer their team and that special person on.

The first place team was Beers, second place team was Butler and the third place
team was Valenzuela.

If you were not able to make the all-nighter, you probably noticed the ones dragg-
ing around Monday morning who did make it to the games.

Total Exercise

By Gordon Bieiz
It is still dark and the dew still rests
heavy on the grass as, roused from sleep
by the incessant noise of the radio, I roll
out of bed. The first few seconds, as my
inner ear canal tries to communicate my
new position to my brain, 1 feel dizzy.
Hands before me in the dark, so as to not
crash into anything, I make my way to
the closet for my running attire,

A flip of the light switch blinds my eyes
as I adjust to the apparent brilliance of
a 60 watt closet bulb. A pair of socks, a
pair of shorts and a tee shin later 1 des-
cend the stairs into more darkness, flip-
ping on light switches as I go. A glass of
water wakes up my stomach, and 1 go in-
to the garage looking for my running
shoes. They are there, awaiting my
punishmeni, right next to the empty

some friends and their dog and we run,
talk, and bark for a couple of miles until
1 have returned home, where the cat
awails my petting, and my family turns
up their noses at my sweating.

It's a morning routine to guarantee,
somehow, that my aging body won't
decay quite so fast or to postpone the day
of chest pains that radiate up my arm.

1 choose to exercise my body so as to
maintain iis health. It is hard, but en-
joyable, especially with friends and their
dog.

Why, I ask myself, does it seem even
more difficult to maintain regular exer-
cise of my spiritual life? To spend the
time with God, to study, not for a quiz,
sermon, or assignment, but just lo reflect
on the goodness of God.

Maintaining a spiritual fitness program
will stave off the day of feeling that pain,
not in my chest, but deep in my heart ~
pain that doesn't leave with medication,
surgery, or nitroglycerin.

Help me. Lord, to have a total exer-
cise program.

|Who Needs Friends?

By Stan Hickman
Have you ever felt that if you could only get away from your friends you would
le able to make good grades? Have you ever wanted to scream because you attempt
o sit down and study but a proccession of friends calling or visiting keeps you from
ludymg? Friends can be an incredible inconvenience. They demand your time and
ttenuon, they often have problems that they want to share with you and they always
ome around so much when they're depressed or upset. Friends can really be a pain.
,0 why have them? Wouldn't it be nice to be left totally alone sometimes?

for the service. The air was misty and wet, the mourners eyes were dry. No one there
loved him, no one there really knew him, he had never given them the chance. His
dreams had meant so much that he couldn't afford to let people get in the way. Even
his wife never understood him and his children never saw him enough to know him.
He had no friends, because he had no time for friends. He was a good man, a likeable
man, but he shared himself with no one and never touched another life.

What are your ambitions, your dreams, your goals? What matters to you most?
What do you really want from life? I've often grappled with these questions and sad-
ly, my dreams closely resemble those of the man I've described. 1 often desire more
to impress others rather than to touch other's lives, and share in their experiences.
When I die, I don't want to be remembered by the wealth I've accumulated, but by
the tears in the eyes of those that I've loved.

This last week and a half has been very difficult for me. I spent all of my time
studying for the Law School Admissions Test, which I took yesterday. I'd take prac-
tice test after practice test unit! my neck would cramp, my head ache, and my eyes
burn. My brain turned to mush and I could spend no time studying for my regular
classes. It seemed to me that my whole life, everything I'd dreamed about, was hang-
ing on this one test. Without a great score it would be impossible for me to get into
a top school. Stress, stress, stress, and I wasn't pleasant to be around. I don't even
get excited about spilling my guts publicly, but I've learned something this week that

A friend's love is the most precious thing on this earth. I never knew my friends
cared so much. The night before the test a friend gave me a stress relieving back,

The night before the test I received two special notes. "Stan, I just wanted you to
know I will be proying for you tomorrow morning. God knows how important this
is. God will help you. Don't worry and think cleariy. Thanks for being my friend,
we all need them."

"Dear Stan, Just want to wish you well for the test tomorrow. 1 am thinking about
you and will say a prayer for you tonight. Get some good rest. I love you alot."

The future is important and we must plan for it, but the only time we live in is
the present. The importance of friends and the love they give seems so much rlearer
tomenow. I hope the rest of you are less "dense" than I. Relationships are the greatest
store of value on this earth. God's love and a friend's love are the greatest reality.

Dear Lori,

Just out of curiosity, do you believe in kissing on the first date? What about love
at first sight?

An Infatuated Freshman

Dear Infatuated,

"No" to both questions. Of course, this is personal opinion, but I always figured
kissing on the first date to be a bit hasty. On the same note, love at first sight often
closes the poor lover's eyes to the lovee's faults, and leaves him/her vulnerable to
blind infatuation. One's should be kept open on any date.
But, there are always exceptions to every rule, and even the strongest of us females
i weaken and allow the male to "steal" a kiss on the first date. And
"all in love with the first sighted lovee. One never knows.

Limited Vocabulary

I didn't know either, so I called the gym and asked the deskworker who also didn'
know. But 1 did find out what their hours are, regardless of the "nonclass time'
bit. The gymnasium is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, and from 1 to 10 p.m. on Sunday. The raqi^etball (

What I object to is the general
attitude of S.C. that borders on
haughtiness. The attitude that this
place is special or even better than
others because of the organ seems
wrong. Shouldn't S.C. be considered
special because of academic ex-
cellence and the people here rather
than the jewelry it has to show?

To show my meaning, 1 just begin
by pointing out how the organ isus-
ed to advertise for the school. To be
sure the organ is a wonderful asset,
but to center on that alone is not
right. All I heard from recruiters
before coming to Southern College
was about the new organ and how I
should go to the college just to see
and hear that. 1 heard about the
classes, teachers, finacial aid, and
social activities, but the organ was
stressed above all those items. 1 feel
that the organ is important, but that
S.C. is an educational institution, not
just here as a picturesque organ case.
Southern should be known for
academic excellence not just organ
playing.

A second point showing the thin
line between the vairmess and natural
pride of the college is how freshmen
were made to sit through a chapel
dedicated to the organ during sum-
mer session. There has never been a
chapel dedicated to the new music
building or Brock Hall, or the new
Garden of Prayer by the religion
■why should the organ be
singled out? Again 1 feel that the
school is showing off their expensive
tool and being ahnost haughty.

A third point I wish to make show-
ing the questionable attitude is the
comments that have been said by
faculty members and various other
people stating that the organ is so
unique and special that none other
can really match it. That is definite-
ly a fact to be proud of, but the at-
titude that accompanies it is one of.
"Yeah, our organ is one of the best
and no one can touch it."

I don't mean to single out any one
member of the faculty, nor step on
anyone's toes. I just feel that the
general attitude being emminated
from S.C. about the organ tends to
be arrogant and "look at us". I am
stating my wish that the people of
S.C. not put emphasis on the organ
over all the other things here. S.C.
has a good school here, with the
organ being a fine addition. Don't
ruin the good standing by being so
haughty of the organ.

"The word magic has for a long time

magic. The magic I do is neither of these.
The magic that I do is simply a sleight of

do what I do with 25 years experience,"
said Varro.

"The object of using sleight of hand

WSMC To
Relocate Tower

By Charlene Spencer
According to WSMC's manager, Olsen
Perry, the station tower has to relocate
in order to comply with FCC (Federal
Communications Commission) specifica-
tions. The present tower height of 199
feet is approximately 2 feet short in rela-
tion to its transmitting power of 100,000

According to Perry, the two-feet ad-
justment cannot be made at the tower's
present location since it will interfere with
air traffic control at the Lovell Field

But "insteadof moving the tower," ex-
plained Gerald Peele, development direc-
tor of the station, "we plan to purchase
a new trasmitter and keep the present one
as backup.

Peele explained that relocating will

Southern College Delegates Attend IntercoUegeiate Bible Conference

By Allan Marlin
Located next to glistening Lake
Ouachita, Camp Yorkiown Bay. Arkan-
sas, was host to 60 Southern College of
S.D.A. delegates as well as 80 other
Adventist collegians for the Inter-
collegiate Bible Conference.

From October 2-4, representatives
from Union College, Southwestern
Adventist College, and Southern College
took part in recreational activities. Bible
study. Christian fellowship, delicious
meals, and religious programs. S.A.C.
and U.C. had 60 and 20 students respec-
tively in altendence at the conference.

The Southern College group left Col-
legedale, TN, 9:00 p.m.. Wednesday, Oc-
tober I , to arrive at Yorktown Bay for
waterskiing, sailing, canoeing, parasail-
ing. and jet skiing all day Thursday.

Spiritually focused meetings began
Thursday nighu The book of Phitippians
was the area of indepth study for the col-
legians. The delegates were divided into
eleven groups to do a special paraphras-
ing of the entire book; the new version
was affectionately know as the ICBC
Version (Intercollegiate Bible Conference
Version).

Friday morning, following breakfast,
more Bible study followed an address by
Elder Allan Williamson. Southern Union
Youth Director. Affirming the delegates

to the fact that Christ Uves and works in
the lives of young people, Williamson
told unique, incredible stories of inspira-

Friday afternoon was left open for
more sun basking and water sports. Many
of the delegates also took advantage of
free time to visit amd make new acquain-
tances with students from different
Adventist colleges.

Sharing sections from Philippians, a
message on "The Types of Friends" by
Victor Brown, Chaplain of Southwestern
Adventist College, and an extra-long out-
door Afterglow program, were among
the Friday evening happenings. Follow-
ing the Afterglow, evening rides were
given on the pontoon boat under a
beautiful starlit Arkansas sky.

Sabbath began with a "Southern-
style" Sabbath School, presented by
S.C.'s CARE Ministries. Songs with both

nd do

jazz/gospel flavor filled the
Folkenberg, Southern's Assistant
Chaplain, led the group in music with the
help of musicians Mark Bond, Greg

Fulbrighi, and Allan Martin, assisted in
skits, readings, a panel discussion, and a
mime that brought across the theme,
"What is real Christianity?"

The sharing of more paraphrased sec-
tions of Philippians and the worship hour
message by Elder Williamson followed
Sabbath School. The afternoon had
various hikes, pontoon rides on the lake
and nature programs in store for the
students as well as a nice post-Sabbath-
lunch nap.

Closing out the Sabbath and the
weekend on a high spiritual note, the con-
ference delegates took part in a commu-
nion service that was predeced by an
agape feast. "Side By Side" was sung
hand in hand as the students formed a
large circle in the candle-lit dining hall.

Following the service, tears and good-
byes were exchanged as Union and
Southern College made preparations to
make the long trek back to their respec-
tive campuses.

Less of an emotional and spiritual high
and more of a time away to "get on the
level with the Lord" was the way many
of this year's delegates explained the con-
ference. Without the stress of studies and
deadlines, many of the delegates said that
they gained more of an understanding of
balance in Christianity from their ex-

perience at Camp Yorktown Bay.

"Sometimes you come away from Bil
ble conference with a real religio
only to come back down to the lows al
school," commented Pam Ivins. c
the Southern delegates. "This conferenci
gave me more of a level-headed realizal
tion of my Christain experience. I realljl
enjoyed myself."

[An Interview With Sahly

By Chris McKee & Scott McClure
I Chris:"Where do you see Southern College now and where would you like to see it?"

I Dr. Sahly:"This is a fine institution, one of the best our church operates. The physical
Ian, structure, and the campus was well planned and laid out. The campus was ac-
lally built for 1800 students and we presently have 1200 students. In terms of where
e are going, we need to increase the number of students on this campus. Those things

Iwill have to happen the in the areas of general recruiting and a long-term plan and

Tfevaluation of our present curriculum."

I Chris:" What are your short-t

1 goals for Southern College?'

I Dr. Sahly:"My immediate goals are to focus on marketing and recruiting: seeing what
i/e can do to improve the numbers on this campus. Strategically we are going to try
0 improve the percentage of Adeventisl academy seniors that come here. Long-range
ve need to develop the kind of acedemic program that would be more marketable
o the students and bring the students out. There are no long-term plans that I can
ee in terms of building new buildings; the campus is basically built. Perhaps in the

I long-range future, the science and math facilities, which are currently the oldest

I buildings on campus, could certainly use some improvement. 1 think it's going to
a challenge to keep the enrollment up over the next five years as to where we can

I keep everything in balance. The enrollment is dangerously low at this point, because
ihe campus was designed for 1800 people. We currently have fixed costs for about

1 1 800 students. And so we're at very much of a crisis point right now trying to deter-
w big the student enrollment is going to be, and get the rest of the campus

the improvements have to come in the acedemic offering and marketing, but 1 see
little change in the [physical] campus."

I Dr. SahIy:"No. ! think that view is in line with my personality and in line with what

[ change wherever I have been. I think that image and that perception is fairly accurate.
But 1 don't consider myself a revolutionary or reformer. I don't think there was
anything inherently wrong with the way John Wagner ran the school for the last three
years to say that 1 need to come and make a reformation. Every leader who comes
to any organization is going to see things differently than the past did and you make

Dr. Sahly:"! would hopefully say no although we haven't gotten into the real budget
situation. It is possible in some departments to reduce faculty without reducing quality,

nel, and it was decided to leave it as it has been printed in the handbook, but simply

inforce it, which we were a little lax in doing in in past years. We have a good

something you can impose on people, it has to be an educated thing, and 1 would

New Communications Division Chairman-The Oliphant Man

C.A. (Bill) Oliphant

By Lynford Morion

Communication and Journalism majors can expect some changes in their division
over the next few years. Dr. C.A. (Bill) Oliphant arrived last Wednesday and has
been appointed chairman of the communications division. As Division Chariman he
plans to build the present program into one that offers a degree (30 hrs.) in each
of three areas: Broadcast Productions, Public Relations and Journalism.

The desire to build a department that offers a specialized degree in each of three
areas is one that Dr. Ohphant has had for a long time. He says he remembers getting
together with his friends, Don Ruth, Associate Secretary of the General Conference
and Earl Coffey of Coffey Associates, Inc., while they worked together in Public
Relations. The three, then, would discuss the need for one of our Adventist schools
to have a complete journalism program; one which is accredited by the Accrediting
Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications, the national ac-
creditation organization for college and university departments and schools of jour-
nalism throughout the United States. Since accepting his new position at Southern
College, he has made that one of his major goals.

Among the immediate plans of Dr. Oliphant are those to add classes to the cur-
riculum as soon as possible. Under the discipline of Journalism, students can expect
to see additions such as a class in News Commentary where instruction Is given in
the proper way to write editorials and book reviews, etc. Public Relations students
can anticipate the addition of classes such as Public Relations: Principles and Theory,
and Fundamentals of Advertising, Public Affairs and Documentary Production are
just a couple of the classes scheduled to be added to the Broadcast Production area,
as well as several Broadcast Journalism workshops. Along with the addition of these
new classes, Dr. Oliphant also plans to begin a writers' workshop. During the sum-
mer, freelance writers from all over the nation will be able to attend the workshop
where they will recieve instruction and critique on their past and present work.

Finally, another one of Dr. Oliphant's goals is to set up a Journalism Professional
Advisory Council. The 12 to 14 member council will consist of newspaper editors
within the region, news editors, and public relation executives. The purpose is to help
those within the department keep in touch with the "real world". Members of the
council will visit the campus once a year and spend a day with departmental majors.
During this time they will help the students get acquainted with the professional re-
quirements of their field. They will also hold question and answer sessions and serve
as guest lecturers for the journalism classes. Members of the council will help to pro-
vide internships and assist in job placement.

Dr. Oliphant earned his Ph.D. in Mass Communication from the University of
Iowa. He received a Master of Arts in Journalism at the University of California
at Los Angeles and a Bachelor of Arts in English with a French minor from La Sierra
college.

Professionally, he has a lengthy and impressive track record in journalism and com-
munications. Most recently he served as Senior Vice President for Coffey Associates,
Inc., and editor of Health Scene, a magazine which he and Cecil Coffey built and
edited from its conception lo its current AVi million reader circulation. In the past
he served various positions as Vice President for Development, Marketing, Pubhc
Relations, Community Health Education at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, book
editor for the Southern Publishing Association in Nashville, Tennessee, and Pubhc
Relations director for "Faith For Today".

The profits from the magazine Health Scene, which Dr. Oliphant formerly edited,
now serve to fund the chair position he now holds.

[ell me that there really wasn't a Santa Claus anymore

at the local Red Food Store.

The only mystery, Ihe only real excitement that us kids ever had, was seeing who
had [he largest present under the tree. It seemed to rotate every year so that each
of us would have his turn at being able to proclaim proudly that he had the largest

I remember one Christmas that it happened to be my turn at having the largest
gift. I was particularly audacious about my good fortune, for it seemed to have been
a little overdue. I flaunted it relentlessly at my brother and sister.

My package was big. Almost half as big as the Christmas tree itself. It was wrap-
ped in bright, shiny, red and green paper with little Santas sparalically placed all
over. What really made it special was that it had three bows. Everybody else only
had one bow on their presents but mine had three bows.

Visions in my imagination of what it could possibly be danced jubilantly in my
head. "As big as the box is," I brilliantly concluded to myself, " it must be a shiny
new 10 speed bike with racing training wheels. Or maybe its the world's largest train
set (C'mon, I was only 10 years old; these things were important)!" Anyway, being
big, stemingly expensive and pretty with the Santa Claus wrapping paper, it must
be something really special. 1 could hardly wait to open it.

Finally Christmas morning came and my family once again gathered around the
tree to go through the yearly routine of exchanging gifts. I opened all my smaLer
gifts one at a time rather impaitiently; what I really wanted to get to was the big one.

At last there was only one gift left under the tree and it was aL mine. It stood
ominously before me as if it held some mystery within it that would make my life
meaningful and complete. The visions were still dancing in my head. I tore open the
package only to find another package neatly wrapped in the same paper. I opened
it and got the same results. This went of for about five episodes when finally, in the
last box, that was smaller-than any gift opened that day, 1 found a pack of chewing
gum. It was my favorite kind of gum but at this point that was irrelevant.

I had been fooled, misguided, led to believe something that wasn't true. I allowed
myself to judge a book by it's cover, a package by it's size, a gift by it's wrapping
and I ended up sadly dissapointed.

I relived this experience just recently. Not literally, I mean I didn't celebrate
Christmas in October, but synonymously.

Just a few days ago the opportunity for me to make a new friend presented itself.
The particular person involved was someone who I had heard a few negative things
about. There was something about the place they were from, the way they dressed,
basically just their appearance, their "size and wrapping", that made it easy for people
to mis-interpret them. Friendsof mine sensed their obligation to forewarn me about
what kind of person I was allowing myself to associate with.

When 1 finally did get to spend some time vrith them to share and get to know
them, I discovered underneath all the warnings, blasts, and pre-suppositions a sen-
sitive, caring and multi-dimensional person. I must say I am glad I took the time
to get to know them for I made a special, new friend. If I had listened to the majori-
ty of people's opinions 1 would have truly missed out on the chance of being a friend

the short-sightedness of society.

Don't judge people simply by what they look like. Have the intelligence to look
beyond a person's size and wrapping to what is on Ihe inside. Who knows? Beneath
It all may be a very good friend.

Since the stage has been set, I will now offer my suggestion. There are some \

Dear Editor:

I'm writing in response to the editorial
written by Jim Huenergardt in the issue
from October 9th. I'm glad somebody
finally wrote down what I've been try-
ing to say for the past few years regar-
ding so-called "Christian Rock".

When you break a song down, what
actually makes it a "rock and roll"
song? Is it the beat or is it the lyrics? It
seems to me that the lyrics are what con-
stitutes the type of song it is. For in-
stance, you could take Amy Grant's
song "Sing Your Praise to the Lord",
change the lyrics around so that they
weren't sacred, and you would be left
with a song just like any of the others
heard on KZ-106. On the other hand,
however, there are many other songs on
the radio that aren't quite so "upbeat".
Lionel Richie's "Hello" could just as
easily be turned into a sacred song in
much the same manner. Therefore, the
beat, obviously, isn't all that constitutes
a rock song.

Unfortunately, though, many people
are very closed-minded about this sub-
ject. Some believe that all contemporary
Christian is okay to listen to, but they
wouldn't dare turn on a rock radio sta-
tion. On the other hand, there are peo-
ple who are completely against any kind
of music except the "elevator" kind (no
offense you guys, but this is true). Most
of today's "elevator" music is adapted
from popular rock songs, believe it or
not. So what's the difference between all
three? Not all that much, actually.

Anyhow, my main point is this: We
shouldn't discriminate because of
musical tastes, especially in Christian
music. Some people prefer the rock-type
sounds of Amy Grant and Petra, some
prefer a more easygoing sound like San-
di Patti, some prefer an "older" type,
such as the Bill Gaither Trio, and still
others prefer just plain old hymns. But,

hvSMC: A Strong History In

iThe Community

-October 23. 1986/SOUTHERN ACCENT/3

By Eric demons
On November 13, 1961, FM 90.5
I WSMC became a fully Jiscensed non-
commercial public radio station on the
I campus of Southern College. Since then
station has come a long way.
V big move came in 1967 when the sta-
1 boosted its power to 80,000 watts,
is important as the history of the sta-
1 is the impact the station has today,
only on Southern College, but on the
I Chattanooga area.

WSMC has listeners from as far away
s Birmingham, Alabama, and Atlanta,
Georgia, but what about right here in
Chattanooga? MicheaJ Alfano of WDEF
radio, Chattanooga, had this to say about
' WSMC. "It is posible for a non-
I commercial station to have an impact on
the market." WSMC, according to Birch
Radio Ratings for January of 1986 had
a higher rating than both WUTC and
WFLl which are non-commercial sta-
tions. WSMC also has more listeners than
WDXB, a commercial station.

Greg Schafer of WSKZ radio, the

Chattanooga station with the most

■ listeners, also felt that it was possible for

a non-commercial station to run suc-

\ cessfully in a highly commercial industry.

WSMC is known not only for its

classical programming but also for its
news programming. In 1981-82 WSMC
won the best non-spot news and best
radio production from the Tennessee
Associated Press Broadcast Association.
WSMC is also at this time the only sta-
tion in the Chattanooga area that receives
"National Public Radio" and "All
Things Considered" direct from satelhte.
WSMC may be putting another page
in their history book soon. The station
recently received a mandate from the
Board of Trustees which commissioned
it to move its broadcast tower from White
Oak Mountain to Signal Mountain. If
funds are raised to make this move, the
station's broadcast ability to downtown
Chattanooga and outlying areas will be
greatly increased. *

WSMC will celebrate it's 25th anniver-
sary on Nov. 13. To commemorate the
anniversary. Bob Edwards, host of
NPR's "Morning Edition" will be flown
in from Washington, D.C., to hold a lec-
ture at the celebration.

If the last years are any indication of
where WSMC is heading in the radio in-
dustry, the next 25 years are sure to be

Based on responses from 4,349 ran-

I domly selected students who answered a

29-page questionnaire, this picture of
general attitudes emerged from America's
college and university campuses:

Fifty six percent think sex before mar-
riage is always or sometimes wrong, while
95 percent believe sex outside marriage is
always or sometimes wrong, and 69 per-
cent prefer postponing marriage until
they have achieved other goals.

Seventy percent believe that cigarettes
are harmful and 48 percent mdicated they
would not even date someone who

Eighty-four percent think cocaine is
harmful and 62 percent believe marijuana
use is also unwise, but only 10 percent feel
that way about alcohol.

Seventy-three percent favor the death
penalty, and 69.9 percent think abortion
should be legal.

Respondents expressed their political
views and alignment; 37 percent con-
sidered themselves Republicans, 31 per-
cent independents, and only 28 percent
listed themselves as Democrats.

Doctors, scientists, and professors are
highly respected by students. But
reporters, government workers, and
politicians had better mind their "public
image," because 60 percent, 47 percent
and 70 percent, respectively, of students
had little or no triiSt in these professions.
Sixty-nine percent of the students said
religion was important to varying degrees
in their lives, and 26 percent said they at-
tended religious services at least once a
week; 51 percent attend at least once a
month.

The survey also provided an insight in-
to financial habits of students, including
the fact that 48 percent live offcampus,
and in effect run households.

Fifty percent of the respondents get
more than half of their discretionary in-
come from their own earnings, and 58
percent of those said they earned over
$2,000 last year, while 25 percent earned
over $5,000.

When it comes to discretionary spen-
dmg, 61 percent said they had 5100 per

month or more to spend. Nineteen per-
cent in that group has between S150-249
and another 19 percent spend $250 or
more. Largest dollar expenditures by
students during the school year were at
the college store, with a median of
$248.61.

Ninety-sbt percent said they spent more
money on clothing during the past school
year than on any other category— with a
median expenditure of $187.40. Four per-
cent of all discretionary income was spent
on health and beauty aids.

In other survey highlights, 56 percent
have and use bank credit cards. 4] per-
cent have borrowed money to attend col-
lege, and 86 percent have savings ac-
counts. College students are owners of
high-priced items as well: Sixteen percent
have a new car, 39 percent purchased a
used car; 78 percent own a television set,
66 percent a stereo system; 36 percent a
35mm camera and 1 7 percent a computer.

Issues & Answers

Should the Church Ordain Women?

By Jerry A. Gladson

The question of the ordination of
women in the Adventist church has reach-
ed an impasse. Eveo before the last
General Conference, held in New Orleans
in 1985, it was decided to table the issue
for further study. A new study commis-
sion has now been appointed. Pro-
ordination forces envision this may mean
the Adventist church will become the tail
rather than the head in taking this step;
the anti-ordination side fears radical new
departures in church poUty if women ever
set foot in the pulpit.

Is there a way through this impasse? A
way which does justice to Scripture, the
Spirit of Prophecy, and the new
egalitarianism in society? I believe there
is, but only if we realize why the deadlock
exists and are willing to consider an alter-

some of it, in fact, possibly better.
Pastoral work requires strong nurturant
ability; women seem to possess this in
greater measure than men. This tradi-
tional objection, however, is unlikely to
be discarded unless the second concern is

yof d

Ouri

I paralysis has developed for
two reasons. In the first place, it has not
been our custom to ordain women. We
are just not used lo women in the pulpit
at 11 o'clock on Sabbath morning. Old
ways die hard. Some, in fact, seem eter-
nal. Many objections to the ordination of
women — a woman's place is in the home;
women are to be submissive to their
husbands and to men in general; women

nply

sophisticated versions of this traditional,
culturally conditioned view of women.
The actual work of ministry (preaching,
teaching, leading, etc.) can be perform-

BLOOM COUNTY

This second reason stems from the
singular fact the Bible contains no clear
answer to whether women may be ordain-
ed. Each side understandably marshals
texts to support its case, and both sound
convincing. Pro-ordinationists like Paul's
liberating comment that in Christ "there
is neither Jew or Greek. ..slave nor
free.. .male nor female" (Gal. 3:28). Anti-
ordinationisls also insist on Paul; "I per-
mit no woman to teach or to have
authority over men; she is to keep silent"
(1 Tim, 2:12). Paul himself thus appears
confused! Since Ellen White never com-
ments on the matter, she too is mined,
with equal bewilderment on the part of
those watching, by both sides.

Little can be accomplished a hurling of
texts or quotations at the other side. This
whole procedure, I think, is wrong-
headed and represents an approach which
will leave the church forever deadlocked.

Ethicists would caL this approach a
"prescriptive" technique. That is, it tries
to find an explicit scriptural or Sphit of
Prophecy prescription authorizing-or
disapproving-the ordination of women-
Prescriptive ethics works well when direct
: readily available, such as

in the Ten Commandments. But on many
modern issues, like the use of tobacco,
drugs, coffee, and tea, we are forced to
adopt another method. We look instead
for scriptural principles which will apply
to new situations. From the principle that
our bodies are the temple of God and
thus worthy of honor, we derive the idea
that tobacco, drugs, etc. are not accep-
table to the Christian lifestyle.

The principled approach, applied to
the ordination of women, will lead us
through the present deadlock and help us
overcome the paralyzing inertia created
by the absence of any clear statement in
either the Bible or Ellen White, Several
biblical principles, it seems, apply to this

The fundamental equality and dignity
of both sexes as part of the original order
of things is clearly taught in Scripture.
"So God created man in His own im-
age...male and female He created them"
(Gen, 1:27). Both male and female-
together— make the image of God. They
are both equally necessary in the created

Barriers erected by sin, such as racial
bigotry, cultural superiority, social
stratification, sexual discrimination, etc.,
have in principle been broken down by
the advent of our Lord. "He is our peace,
who has made us both one, and has
broken down the dividing wall of hostili-
ty" (Eph. 2:14). The ground, we hke to

say, is "level" around the cross.

In the new age created by the gospel,
the Spirit distributes spiritual gifts
regardless of station in life (1 Cor.
12:4-1 1). These gifts include administra-
tion, prophecy, teaching, and pastoral ac-
tivity (vv. 27-31; Eph. 4:11), There is no
evidence of sexual restriction in the
spiritual gifts.

Earlier in then history, Advenlists
moved beyond a similar prescriptive im-
passe by taking such a principled ap-
proach. Pro-slavery advocates in the last
century often appealed to the fact that
nowhere does the Bible forbid the institu-
tion of slavery. In this they were quite
right. But eariy Adventisis, including
Ellen White, countered with the broad
biblical principle of freedom. She even
couseled civil disobedience! "The law of
our land requiring us to deliver a slave to
his master [the Fugitive Slave law of
1850], we are not lo obey" {Testimonies,
1:202). George I. Butler, later General
Conference President (1871-74; 1880-88) I
for a time even operated a station on the
underground railway.

It appears to me the issue of the ordina-
tion of women is exactly the same kind
of problem. If we follow the principled
approach, we will break the deadlock and
give women their rightful place, under the
Spirit, in the church. God, scripture, and
tiie dignity of all humankind will then be
honored.

Bo Smith's team took complete control of this ball game with their strong aerial
attack. Stephen Pollett led all scorers with 4 touchdown receptions. Alexis Cruz let
Smith's team on the ground with several outstanding carries. Davis' strong point was
the run, but the tough defense of Mike Sinclair and Jay Jones left them with lettle
offensive threat. Jay Jones scored defensivley for Smith with a timely sack in the
end zone for a safety. Linden DeCarmo did an excellent job defensively for Davis

Editorial

I had jusi set my [ray down and slaried eacing when I couldn'l help noticing the
conversation two girls were having sitting to my right. "I think it's sickening" said
one gir! with a squeaky voice.

"It's really quite sad if you ask me" replied the sweeter, more melodic voiced girl.
"Just thinking about it makes me want to cry at night."

"I know what you mean." chimed the sqeaky voiced girl, "No phone calls, no
dates, after alt, isn't this college's nickname 'Southern Matrimony College' ?"
"That's what I've heard" replied the melodic voiced girl, "but you would never know
it around here, you'd think the guys didn't have any phones!" As their conversation
droned on, I began to stare intensely at the scanvertiser. letting its lethargic revolv-
ing hypnotize me. I felt myself drifting slowly back through time back to last night,
Wednesday night. It's as if 1 am reliving a nightmare. I find myself frantically flipp-
ing through the pages of the Joker looking for a famihar face, someone I can ask
out for Friday night vespers. Every giri I know is either dating someone or already
has plans for the weekend. Now 1 must decide whether to go dateless again or to
ask someone out I have never met. I go back to the first page of the womens section
and start looking more closely at the array of faces. With so many eligible girls, its
hard to decide which one to ask. On to the next page I go, desperately seeking one
gir! whom I will call, introduce myself to, and finally invite to attend vespers with
me. My eyes stop in the middle of the page. Where has this girl been hiding? Why
haven't I noticed her before? I think I will give it a try and call her up. The tension
is mounting, my hean rate doubles, I find ihe Numerigue to find her phone number.
My fingers are shaking as I dial the number, my palms are sweating profusely, my
throat is dry and the PHONE IS RINGING! It rings three times and I hang up tell-
ing myself that I don't need a date this weekend and 1 have enough friends and don't

ny more. My roommate picks the phone up and dials the number fn I
e the phone. Now instead of the ringing I hear a voice saying, '' Hellor '

1 wish that we could attend worships out of desire to be there
rather than from mandatory rules. When Christ walktd the
earth. He didn't require the people to listen to Him speak five
times a week; the people flocked to Him because of a genuine
desire to be with Him. It was a foimula that worked back then,
and I'm sure that it would still be effective in reaching hearts

Name withheld
Dear Editor,

I would like to commend Dr. Gladson for his article which
appeared in last week's issue of the Southern Accent. It is not
easy to take a stand on a subject which is the object of debate
within one's own church. I reaUze that Dr. Gladson was asked
to write on the subject of the ordination of women, but he
could have refused. He certainly could have given the legitimate
excuse that he did not have the time to do the topic justice.
That seems to be the position that the General Conference has
taken. He could have hidden behind the popular "shield" of
"further study". Bilt he chose not to hide. 1 am also pi
that the idea has been presented in our "official student
newspaper" here at Southern College. It says something about
the "backbone" of those responsible for the publication a
as that of the specific author.

As for the topic itself, it is something I have felt has long
needed to be addressed. I have seen men who. in my opinion,
have been wonderful ministers; I have seen some who would
have been better suited serving the church as business managers
or pubhc relations directors than as pastors. But I have also
met more than one woman blessed with both the desire and
the talents to be excellent ministers and pastors. 1 wondered,
these gifts and apparent "callings" did not come out ol
nowhere. If they are presented to these women by God, how
is it that mere humans have taken it upon themselves to decide
that God has made an error in entrusting these virtues to a
woman? Do these men understand the awesome responsibility
they take upon themselves in denying God's ability to assign
expertise appropriately to the female of-the species? Perhaps
they have decided thatGodhasasenseofhumorandhasgiven
these talents to the "wrong" people as a joke not to be taken
seriously.

The members and workers of the church deserve the respect
of their leaders just as the leaders of the church deserve the
respect of the members. And God should be given the respect
of all of His creatures. Would it not be showing respect to
follow the principles of God's word and honor His decisions
as to who will receive specific abilities and callings to complete
His work? He just might know more than we do.

Association (NACADA). Goals of

the program include encouraging
wider support and recognition of the
importance of academic advising by
colleges and universities and eventual
improvement in student advising

Criteria for eligibility were in-
novative quality, creativity, currency,

Hawkins has played trumpet for nine
and a half years and attributes his suc-

cess on it to his present instructor, Mrs.
Patricia Silver, professor of music at
Southern College.

When asked how he feels about the
quality of the orchestra he plays with, he
said, "Its a fine organizaion and I feel
privileged to be a part of it. It is not as
new to me as some people here, I have
been around music all of my life."

are also a great place for picnics, jogg-

So, if you find yourself in an adven-

International
Cuisine Carnival

By Lyn/ord Morion

The Collegiate Missions Club will be
holding its annual food fair this Sunday,
November 2nd, from 12 pm to 6 pm. The
fair, which features food from fourteen
countries will be held in the Spalding
elementary school gym. Tickets will be
sold for $3.25 each. This entitles you to
a fuU mejtl at one booth or an assortment
of different food from various booths-
Students will be able to charge the tickets
on their I.D. cards but there will be a limit
of S6.50 per person for the entire day.

The proceeds from the fair will help to
pay some of the expenses for next years'
student missionaries. The students raise
as much money as they can through
donations from churches, families and
other fund-raising activities. The money
that they lack will be made up from the
food fair profits.

Along with the wide array of different
foods a number of programs are plann-
ed so that guests can be entertained as
they eat. "Destiny" is Just one of the

groups scheduled to perform. A slide-
show of the student missionaries overseas
will also be shown periodically
throughout the day.

Chief in command of the food fair is
Southern College senior Vanessa
Radovan. She is a nursing student who,
having completed her R.N. training, is
finishing up this year with her B.S.

"There is quite a bit more work to it
than I had originaLy planned on,"
Radovan commented, "but I enjoy the
challenge." '

The students hope through this event
to get other students to consider being a
student missionary. Witnessing, however,
is the key reason for the fair. Coverage
has been given in the local papers.

An attendance of 2,000 is expecied
with Alumni-weekend also convening this
weekend. A high student turnout is essen-
tial for the success of this program.

Scopes Trial Again?

Hawkins County, Tenn. (U. S. News
and World Report, Nov. 3, 1986)--
Federal Judge Thomas Hull ruled last
week that Hawkins County school of-
ficials violated students' religious
freedoms by expelling them for refusing
to read books they viewed as "anti-
Christian". Hull ordered the schools to
allow objecting pupils "to opt out of
reading class"~a decision fundamen-
talists hailed as a blow against "religious
bigotry". Civil libertarians predicted that
the ruling, if upheld, would throw public

education into disarray as sect after sect
filed objections to schoolbooks. The Ten-
nessee case and similar lawsuits have been
brought by fundamentahsts who com-
plain that textbooks are written with a
liberal bias. Parents complained, too,
that reading books ignore mainstream
religions while prominently discussing
such movements as feminism, humanism,
pacifism; and vegetarianism. Hull's rul-
ing will bar Tennessee from operating
schools "in a way which systematically
forces Christians.. .out," declared Beverly
LaHaye of Concerned Women for
America, which represented parents in-
court. Liberals were quick to denounce
the court's decision as a formula for
chaos. "Shutting kids in and out of the
classroom every time certain themes come
up is not practical," said Timothy Dyk,
a lawyer defending the Hawkins County
School Board. Both sides agree that the

grass-roots drive is alread^iflecfin^ex^
tbooks, as publisher are "dumbing"
them down so they won't offend anyone.
The battle over God and school is far
from over. The Supreme Court wil rule
this term on the constitutionality of a
Louisiana law that requires teachers to
give Biblical "creation science" equal
time with evolution theory. This
reporter's opinion: why not allow equal
time or equal representation of these sub-
ject and allow students to decide for
themselves?

Heart Song Performs
Thanksgiving Concert
in Thatcher Chapel

By Allan Martin

Heart Song, Southern College of Seventh-day Adveniisi's
own contemporary Christian music group, performed last Sab-
bath, October 25th, in Thatcher Chapel at 3:00 p.m. Spon-
sored by CARE Ministries, the concert entitled, Thanks From
The Heart, featured the seven member group and several
original songs written by them.

"I really enjoyed it," remarked Jeff Cox, a sophomore who
was among the 250 students who attended. "It's nice to hear
hfe (in music) for a change," he added.

Heart Song uses the contemporary sounds of electric
keyboards and synthesizers along with the traditional piano and
guitar to provide a rich blend of accompaniment for their two
female singers, Laura Lewis and Michelle Cromwell, both
students at Southern.

Randy Minnick and Keith Tucker play guitar while Mark
Bond and Gary Hoover have talenis on the keyboards. All four
gentlemen also sing for Heart Song. But the man who has true
control over the sound of the group is Mike Lorey, the mix
board technician.

Heart Song aims to tour with Destiny, the Christian drama
company of Southern, and visit Adventist academies and chur-
ches throughout the Southern Union. Heart Song is also open
to performing sacred concerts in the local area.

For concert date arrangements call Michelle Cromwell at
238-2189. Heart Song focuses on a music ministry for young
people and those young at heart. Concert possibilities are sub-
ject to Ihe Destiny tour schedule and personal academic
schedules since members of Heart Song are Southern students.

To keep you up on the latest Southern sports, we are

Matdng A Difference

[ received a phone caU lasl night. . . . This is extraordinary due to the fact that
I don't gel very many phone calls. 1 do, however, answer a lot of phone calls; indeed
myriads of phone calls are made to my phone, so many you would think my dorm
room is a junction for A.T. & T.. but they're always for my roommate. The only
time 1 get to talk to someone is when a wrong number finds my phone and 1 initiate
a conversation with a total stranger. This is usually short-lived though, due to the
fact that I'm really not the person that the caller wanted to talk to in the first place.

But last night I received a phone call; somebody specifically asked to talk to me.
It was a special friend of mine who called just to ask me how 1 was and to hang
in there with the newspaper. In T.T.T. (thats newspaper lingo for Total Talk Time),
the conversation lasted about only two minutes, but it was the best two minutes of
the entire day. I got quite a charge out of it.

A two minute phone call is not much. It did not take a vast amount of effort to
make that small gesture of friendship. But because someone took a little initiative
and did something for me, as small as it was, my entire evening was brightened as
a result of it. You know, it's the little things we do for people that make the big
differences in our relationships with others.

When is the last time you told someone that they were important and you ap-
preciated ihem? Most of us are too complacent, too apathetic, too Laodicean, to
tell somebody what they mean to us. We are too wrapped up in our own little ex-

istence that we don't take the time to acknowledge the people that make oui
worth living.

It does not take anything major to let someone know that they're special. A smalll
handwritten note dropped in their mailbox, or a smile and a word of encouragement I
can perform radical miricles in a person's daily existence.

Now don't get me wrong, 1 'm not preaching to convert everybody into a philosophy I
of blind optimism where we all walk around with smiles on our faces uttering word; 1
of good cheer all the day through. I, too, have met people who are the epitome of |
optimism and will always try to say something positive though the world falls a
them. . - they're aggravating to be around.

No, my point is that we need to take a step back and realize that we can perform |
great miricles of mental healing and increase the quality of life by simply undersia
ding that it is the small tokens of friendship that we can perform almost every day I
that make the greatest differences in a person's life, And isn't what we want
in this life is make a difference?

The Wall
Dear Editor,

As I look out the window of the TLC where I work, 1
am usually awed by what I see — the grassy rolling stretches
that make Southern so famous. But today as 1 looked out
all I saw was a grey brick wall. I am forced to ask, as 1 have
heard many others, "Why?"

All this "school improvement" has been very nice, and
1 must compliment whoever is responsible. The road down
to Brock, Wood, and So-Ju-Conian Halls has long needed
repair. Thank you. I suppose that the faculty and village
students badly needed a parking lot, and that the wall in
front of Daniells Hall needed repairs also, but couldn't we
have just stopped there?

I have heard of plans to tear down Lynn Wood Hall, and
I suppose the old "Tab" will be next. Then they'll have to
start all over again with the dorms and the old "new"
classrooms. Yes, improvement is never ending and at times
necessary, but only when warranted. Why spend a lot of
money on a wall we don't need (it's not a big land slide area)
or want, so thai some poor soul, twenty years from now,
can tear it down on account of "school improvements."
Besides, brown stones don't go well with red brick, or is
this just of sign of things to come?

Trading Places

Dear Editor:

I'm writing about the editorial in last week's issue. I feel
that the article hit very close to home with a lot of guys (in-
cluding myself)- I have also heard that some girls on this
campus cannot understand why guys don't date any more
than they do (if at all). Well, the nickname of this college
(Southern Matrimony College) may scare some of us guys
off. I don't know for sure but it sounds like the girls got
that nickname started. I mean, it could give us guys the
wrong view (I hope) that the girls are trying to "snatch"
IS up as fast as they can.

But to be totally sincere and honest about the situation,
1 believe a lot of the guys just want to make and be friends
with the girls. I know from talking to a lot of my friends
that they feel uncomfortable calling a girl up for a simple
date to vespers. Why? Because they're afraid the giris may
think he is coming on too strong or fast. Or they ask, "What
if she doesn't like me at all?" Most of the guys just want
to make new friends or gel to know someone better.

In this day and age of ERA and women's liberation, why
don't you girls call us guys up and ask us out. You don't
e weekends to do that. If one of you
girls really likes a guy, why don't you make his day by call-

g him up lonighl. And tomorrow I bet you'll see him walk-

g around two feet off the ground with a gleam in his eyes

id a smile on his face.
Sincerely,
Eric Tanner

Bulimia: Another Kind
of Addiction

"Our bodies don'i redesign themselves
because of current fashion," notes Dr.
Robert L. DuPont, director of the Center
for Behavioral Medicine in RockvjIIe,
Maryland. Unfortunately, that is just
what people suffering from bulimia
would like them to do.

Bulimia is, in effect, an addiction to
food. Bulimics cannot control their eating
habits, so they attempt to rid themselves
of the calories they eat by purging.
"Purging can come in a variety of ways,"
says Dr. DuPont. "Excessive exercise,

commonly — self-induced vomiting."

"Addicted to Food?", an anicle in the
December 1986 issue of Lislen, takes a
look at bulimia and shows how it cor-
relates to other types of addictions. The
article examines the causes and effects of

and bulimics,

"The person who becomes bulimic is
someone who tries to control her weight
by following a calorie-restrictive diet or
even by going without food completely.
Initially she succeeds, and she experiences
a rise of self-esteem because she has solv-
ed the problem," explains Dr. DuPoni.
The behavior soon becomes compulsive,
and the bulimic finds she can't stop the

Bulimia is an addiction, like alcoholism
or drug addiction. There is no cure — only
recovery. "But bulimics are never really
the same (after recovery)," says Dr. Du-
Pont. "They are going to have a different

Ulph Brother!
'^^'^'hat AClown!

By Bob Folkenberg

The marriage was incredible, awesome might be e

nore appropriate word. The effects of their union wen.

_.een on the faces of all the kids who watched them per-

■form. Clown Ministry and Big Brother/Sister, the

^ogicai pair. This last weekend proved the point when

fthese two energetic Care programs joined forces and
Jreally put on a show for the kids from downtown's
■Chamblis Home and Children's shelter.
I The first party was held on the grounds of Chamblis
I Home. Pizza and punch, games and skits, balloons and
I smiles were just part of the fun. Saturday night the older

kids were treated to gangs of fun and surrounded by

a barn full of clowns and friends. To put it mildly - it

was a total sucess ! A true witness of what Christian fun

IS all about.

Week Of Prayer

Next week. Southern CoUeee will experience a spiritual
revival. Student week of prayer begins November 10 and con-
tinues through November 14. The meetings begin at 8;00 p m
and will be held in the CoUegedale church. The theme chosen
is Heart Talk: straight talk about Christianity.

A team of seven dedicated young men has been chosen to
deliver the messages of the week. Monday, Mike Fulbright will
begin the meetings with the topic Heartbeat (Christian life to-
day, apathy or activity). The rest ofthe week holds topics that
will prove to be just as interesting while motivating students
into a closer and more serious relationships with the Lord. Mike
Sinclair will deUver the message on Tuesday chapel, while Joe
Rivera carries the torch later that evening. Doug Rowland
Allan Martin and Kevin Pride will deliver the messages oil
Wednesday, Thursday(chapel) and Thursday night respectively
Finally, the culmination of the week sets Bob Folkenberg
delivering the message "Heart Transplant."

Wednesday night, a special day of prayer has been planned
Students are asked to spend the day in prayer. The spiritualness
of the school is the most important reason the specific day has
been set aside for prayer. Bob Folkenberg, assistant chaplain
and coordinator of the week of prayer also commented about
the object of prayer for next week's revival. He said,"Weneed
to start praying that week of prayer will really talk straight to
us about Chnstianity." In addition to soliciting the prayers of
the students he also added energetically, ' 'Tell everyone to come
on downl We're gonna have a good ole time." Not only will
you enjoy Student Week of Prayer, but a blessing lies in store
for all who come.

Alumni Review

The flags were up, the carpet was out and the people poured in by the bus loads!
Alumni Homecoming '86 was here this past weekend, and if you happened to have
had a weekend leave, here is whai you missed...

The doll house was opened from 10 am lo 3 pm on Friday, October 31. for the
beginning of registration. Jennifer Jones from the Development office carefully or-
chestrated the operation. Eight hundred and ten families signed in and as the weekend
progressed, the number of Alumni swelled to even greater numbers. Bob Lorren.
the president of the Southern College Alumni Association, working with the Southern
College Alumni Office, under the direction of Jack McClarty, put together an im-
pressive weekend. Some of the highlights were: top-notch guest speakers, the Third
Annual Founders' Day, an Alumni Talent show, sacred concerting, awards and a
basketball game lo cap off the weekend activities.

The Alumni of the Year award was given to two people this year. Buddy Fisher
and David Taylor. The Young Alumni of the Year award went to Debbie McKee
from the class of 1981.

Another bright spot in the weekend was Clarence Dortch. Clarence is 92 years old
and has worked as a musician and director for many of our school systems. He was
in attendance and sang for the funeral of Ellen G. White in 1913.

Over 2000 people were fed on Sabbath at the Collegedale Academy gymnasium,
and one woman remarked that the lunch line was faster and cleaner than in previous

Alumni re-union: 800 families visited the historic sight.

Students Crush Alumni
in Basketball Game

By Rob Shanko

The Southern College student basket-
ball team smashed the Southern College
Alumni basketball team 74-55 in an
action-packed game while cheering spec-
tators supported both teams.

After the Southern College Concert
Band jogged through another round of
the Star-spangled Banner, the second an-
nual Alumni vs. students basketball game
was under way.

The game was held in the Southern
College Gymnasium. The event got to a
late Stan because of the Alumni talent

It was a closely matched game up un-
til half-time with both teams exchanging
turns at having the lead. The students
were a httle clumsy to began with insisting
that the alunrni have the ball. The alum-
ni, a little upset, displayed their aggres-
sion by fouling Steve Vogel and Rob
Bovell, which, with theu- foul shots, push-

r the alumni at half

ed the students

time 38-37.
The Southern College Gymnastics team

presented a tremendously patriotic half

time show before the teams came back

for the final clash to determine who the

victors would be.
The student seemed to have loosened

up and they were now playing as a team.

Joey PoUom was the lead scorer in the se-
cond half of the game for the students
with his outside jump shot. Eric Mock
did an equal amount of good work for,
the alumni. But when it came down to'
team work the students knew how to han-
dle the ball.

With three seconds left on the board
Mark McKenzie, while under heavy
coverage, managed to gracefully execute
the only slam dunk the entire evening en-

The Best Kept Secret

■'Possibly the best team I've ever seen liere at SC," said Coach Evans of Mike I

these two running options in the backfield, added with Rob Bovell. Bob Murdock
and Hershberger as receivers this team was unstoppable.

When asked about how the offense was run. Coach Evans said "We jus
what they gave us. if they covered us deep we would run short down-and-out
If they covered us short we would go long."

However, as incredible as this offense sounds. Coach Evans said the key ti
success was the defense. Only an average of 12 points per game were allowed by the I
defense. Bobby Forquer and Jim Malone were the stars intercepUng passes with the
style and grace of Ronnie Lott or Raymond Clayborn. These two continued with |

International Food Fair Well Done

By Vanessa Radovan
"Oh, my stomach...," that was heard among many people last Sunday at the
I Food Fair. Yes, the food fair is finally over and hopefully the tummy aches as well
I (hee heel). I am proud to say that the food fair was a success! It was great seeing

■ everyone having a good time, some of you looked hke pigs and sows (that was

■ for you. Penny & Alisa). Best of all was the enthusiasm from all of you who par-
|licipatcd or helped in some way. It is impossible to have done the food fair alone

s. lot of credit should go to Mrs. Jan Rice and Elder Jim Herman. We could not
e done It without them!! Also a big thanks goes to all of the churches, clubs,
fend last mmute fill-ins in the preparation of the food and booths; all of you who
fcerformed in the talent section; Allan Martin for being the MC; the strawberry
■estival staff for die sound system; and those of you who served food, set up, cleaned
[.p, and stayed up making this food fair a total success! I would also like to thank
a & Elena for "keeping me sane" during the past few weeks. I really thought
5 going to lose it. (Okay, I am going to stop saying this "academy
|peech) But one more. Praise God He saw this through!!

In conclusion, the food was great, the talent was great, and if you weren't there
Ivell, you can redeem yourself next year by attending the food fair. Finally, those

Love Connection

By Bob Folkenberg
There is a problem that is common to
most students around ihe world.
Thousands of students tackle this pro-
D exception t

e face lo face w

1 the

grim reality of being broke. But like r
college students, especially in Europe,
adventure beckoned me; travel knocked
ai my door. So. I asked myself, "What
I.-, (he cheapest way to travel? Hitch hike,
>! course." So that Easier vacation found
my best friend, John, and me on the
roads of England, sign in hand, thumbs
*ituck out, smiles on our faces, pleading

We traveled up to Scotland and back
for 1200 miles. It took us a week and we
spent fifteen dollars apiece. Scotland and
England were beautiful. The people were
great, but that trip will be remembered
not for Scotland or England's beauty or
the hospitatliiy of the people or the cold
night out in the rain. That trip will be
remembered for the important lesson
God taught John and me, which com-
pletely changed my outlook on
Christianity.

You are probably wondering how a
story about two hitch-hikers can be ap-
plied to life here in happy valley,
Southern College. Good question, and
I'm glad you are asking that question
because I am going to tell you how it will
apply right now.

Out trip was great on the way up to
Scotland. But when it came time to come
back, things began to grow bleak. It was
Easier Sunday and we were out hitch-
hiking. At about noon all the churches
emptied out and the people drove by in

their cars in what seemed like a pomp and
righteous parade. That day we ended up
walking 23 miles. Finally we tried hitch-
hiking again and two hippies from France
picked us up. Later a chain-smoker who
refused to open his window picked us up,
followed by an atheist. I remember spen-
; city trying to get

ride

tho

I look back o
trip and to see who had picked
Atheists, hippies, business men,
agnostics.. .but only one Christian out of
the dozen or so rides had picked us up!
What was Christianity all about
anyway? Could it be that those hippies,
who probably knew nothing about Jesus,
were better Christians that those ctaim-
irig the title of Christians? Where were the
Christians? We didn't get a ride for
hours, for as I look back, I believe the
Lord was trying to drive a point home to
me and teach me something about Chris-
tianity. That's the lesson 1 was talking
about. Finally it crystalized~the impor-
tant thing about Christianity was not
church going, or righteous doing or not
doing, or abstaining from evil things; no!
The essence of Christianity, the base ele-
ment of Christian life was love in action!
Christianity had to be practical or else it
was useless.

My point is, if Christianity does not af-
fect every minute of your day, then your
Christianity is worthless. Christianity is
not something you put on or take off at
will. It's a way of life. And as I stood out
there on that Scottish road I realized that
that is where Christianity comes alive. It

comes alive when you live it. That's what
it is all about. And you know, when I
look ai the life of Christ I see that I'm
right.

The greatest lover of all times was the
Son of God. He lived love from sun-up
to sun-up. All day, healing, forgiving,
listening to and talking to those who were
depised by all people. Christ lived love
and He commands us to do the same.
Matt. 22:37^0 talks about the two great
commandments: to love God and to love
your fellow man. And He practiced what
He preached, all the time. And the thing

taught us our lesson and \

for a ride home which w

We were so exciled, and the most =™

ing thing is that he took us all the^f''

1 do the f
Everyday-all the time-then we will tru-
ly be Christians. Before any of God's
laws make sense, or any of the worship
sevices He designed, or before the title of
a Christian really means something, we
must first love. And when that happens,
the worid will know we are Christians.
Not by our laws or habits, but by our
love. That is what makes Christianity real
and exciting, love.

That is the lesson the Lord taught me
that day up on the Scottish slopes. Chris-

ly right here in happy valley. Realize that
you are not a Christian because you do
certain things, but because you live
Christ's love.

There is some bad news, though, I feel
1 need to break to you. We are by nature
selfish people; kind of loveless at heart.

[What Is Life Anyway?

By Stan Hickman

The sun falls from the sky toward the horizon like a ticking clock counting the
Iseconds till the darkness will prevent me from writing. The mountain in front of me
is bright with the reds, ambers, and yellows of fall. A sprinkling of green trees adds
a dark accent to the beautiful colors. It is cool, peaceful and very beautiful. Here
)n the balcony of a cabin in the Smokies thinking of the past, the present, the
e and thinking what it all means.
What do I really know of life? Born without choice to parents not of my choosing,
■given a name and raised in a family; all without a choice. I was taken to church and
Jiaught about God. I was sent to a church school and learned what the church and
ty wanted me to learn; all in the absence of choice. Somewhere, somehow I learn-
) think, to question, to search for understanding. What can I discover in my
(few short years of life? I live with questions unanswered and still so many questions
yet unasked. What do I really know?

I have lived 24 years upon the face of a very old planet. I am 1 person out of AVi
[billion presently living. So many millions and billions before me - so many billions
that will come after. Within 50 years I'll be buried in the ground. So, what does my
iUfe mean? What do those billions of lives mean? Can I ever know?
I I know this. I experience life through a worid given me by sight, touch, taste, smell
■and hearing. I feel a hard, cold rock, a soft, warm pillow; I smell a rose, or a child's
■vomit, I see a beautiful mountain in the distance or a vulture eating a dead rabbit
■off of a Texas highway. What is good, pretty, sweet, what is bad, ugly, putrid? Are

■ these words opinions or realities? I gain belief in these things as facts because most
I all of the creatures like me, agree with me. So I believe that my sensory experiences

: subjective, but real, and the things outside of myself are real facts because
■others agree with my perception. The people who really see things differently are
■locked away because they are dangerous to the rest of us (and rightly so). As with
■sensory experience, is learning and knowledge, a reality that is simply a common
I perspective (or common ignorance). How do we know, how do we test it?

bthers have discovered truth? Ultimately I can not know. I can only weigh and measure
t-ith whatever ability was given me, and then guess and the believe. Then I use that
pelief as a framework for constructing and organizing knowledge and new beUefs.

ing. I've found they all were short term and failures.

For many years I played the perfect "goody-goody" Adventist. There was no hap-
piness there, only pride and ego and superiority. I've tried being a good friend and
having lots of them, but you always go home alone. I've tried some secular ways
and found them empty and meaningless. I've tried a relationship with Christ to make
me happy and it did not work. Life was still so difficult. I've tried the happiness
that can be found with a woman's body. But that only lasts a few hours. I've tried
the happiness of serious relationships though ultimately I'm still stuck alone within
myself. We ail are.

Trapped in a shell of flesh and blood we use words and tone, expression and touch
to try to communicate our insides to other minds that are, like ours, uapped alone,
in shells of flesh and blood. We try and escape our aloneness and yet even with our
great desire we do it poorly. We fail to understand and we fail to be understood.
We can not get inside their mind and feeUngs nor can they get inside ours. In the
quiet moments we realize this. It is not pleasant and so we avoid this realization.
We surround ourselves with activity: studies, work, play, dating, music in the car,
music in our heads (walkmans), mindless chatter on the phone, reading, writing, play-
ing cards (even sohtaire), weigh tlifting, ninning, aerobics. Activity, activity, please,
no tune to think, no time to meditate upon this state of being, this life, this aloneness,
this meaninglessness— this is what we cry out for.

Rehgion often becomes yet another way to escape dealing with the reality of life.
The reahty of discovering for ourselves what this life is about. Religion is often just
another attempt to find happiness through externals. I use God to make me happy.
I use rehgion and church and my Adventist culture to create happiness and meanmg
for me. But this too is without meaning. This too is an escape from the hard ques-
tions this finite, lonely life demands asking.

Our greatest desire is to be understood, to escape aloneness. We try and try, yet
we never escape it. We always go to sleep inside ourselves, alone. Marriage doesn't
change this. If you think marriage is the magic that transcends our separateness from
each other think of your parents relationship or your friends' parents. No, we are
trapped m shells of decaying flesh, crying out to be touched yet we can never truly
escape our bodies' cages. We will always be alone. Life will always, in the quiet times,
show itself empty and meaningless.

In this understanding the hope of real answers presents itself. There is only one
outside of me who can ever understand all that I think and feel, all that makes me,
the me I am. God is the only hope. He is the only one who can really understand,
the only one and the only thing that can provide meaning and the peace of real
togetherness. All of the externals of this worid, religion mcluded, are only images
of the meaning that is God and only inside of yourself in your heart and mind can
the answers be given. The answers thai provide meaning, the peace of being
understood, love. And this can only be found in the quiet times, the still, in pain
and in emptiness. The externals of this worid, all of the pursuits to find happiness,
chase the answers far, far away. Few ever touch those answers. (I have not). Few
even try. We are aU too busy searching for the thmgs outside us that will make the
being inside us happy. If you want to begin the search, or if you feel I've written
sacrilegious words, try reading your Bible and stan with Ecclesiastes.

The greatest source of information in this laboratory if obtained, not from the
common rat, but from the human being. The experiments that have been conducted
lately are social experiments. How does one group of people compare with another?
The experiment going on at this time is a comparison of attitudes of groups from
UTC and SC towards certain social issues. Unfortunately the lab cannot keep ajiimals
as it used to because of the need for classroom space, but studies have been done
on the effect of alcohol on goldfish, and cognitive conditioning has been done on
rats and gerbils. (It was found that the rat was smarter than the gerbil.)

The data analysis is processed on the microcomputer, which seems to be the main
tool. According to Dr. Colvin, the microcomputer has brought power into the
transforming undergraduate research labs. The computer is able
record data, but also to analyze and produce statisEics. Similater pro-

The process of research and data collection is what one might call busy work. It
mvolves a selection of a topic, a hypothesis, a study (including reading and random

The idea of doing a study using this lab is not necessarily finding a new theory,
but learning. Even if your hypothesis is wrong and the answer false, one still has
an answer, and it could be a clue leading to the discovery of other hidden skeletons.

■ if their very

School Spirit Speculation

I'll never forget the screaming. Three thousand teen-ager
lives depended upon raising the decibel level of their voices higher than it had ever
been before. Cheering, chanting, waving their arms up and down with clinched fists
as if possessed by some spirit from within to destroy an opposing school.

In the center of this encircling crowd was a banner stolen from the rival institu-
tion. As the sign was held up the multitude screamed and began throwing anything
loose or nearby.

A few enthusiastic teens up from pulled out aerosol cans and cigarette lighters
creating homemade blow torches. As the sign caught fire a crazed, glassey-eyed look
came over the entire crowd. The shrieking and hooting crescendoed with the flames
and as the fire consumed the sign the rhythm of the chanting increased.

When the rival insignia was completely burned to ashes a great roar went up from
the host of teens gathered there and they all moved out in one force to do battle
with the opposing school in the form of a football game.

School spirit. . . a term used to describe the attitude and feelings an individual
has towards the educational institution that he attends; and these kids had it.

If you investigate the programs here at Southern you will not find anything even
vaguely resembling the above described activity, mainly because we do not operate
an intercollegiate sports program. That is what the majority of public schools use
as their main motivator for generating their school spirit. Many students here have
the philosophy that Southern College would do well to also develop an intercollegiate
sports program to ii.itiate school spirit. That is placing the majority of responsibility
10 generate school spirit on the HPER division. If we did that I don't believe we
have a very good focus on what school spirit is.

The HPER division has an excellent intramural program combined with a vast ar-
ray of specialty sports events that stretch across the entire school year, (never a dull
moment as it were). The potential for involving every student in an athletic program
and to generate its own share of spirit is alive in the HPER division. The only lack-
ing ingredient, as it will be for any program designed to spark excitement and en-
thusiasm, is student participation.

However, I do not believe that the general air of apathy so prevelant on our cam-
pus today is even remotely associated with our sports program. It is, in fact, due
to the many administrative renovations in the high leadership positions that Southern
College has undergone in the last five years and the changes in ideals, expectations
and programs that the students have had to tolerate that have accompanied these

We, the students, have not had a long lasting, solid form of leadership lo rally
behind and support in five years. Without this kind of foundation I do not believe
that school spirit can healthfully and to any significant degree exist. With so many
changes we have no time to settle in with an administration, get comfortable with
their leadership, and then build school spirit.

The solution to this problem is three-fold. To begin with we, as students, need
to be aware of the situation at hand. Due to the administrative changes that have
occured we have very little genuine foundation with which to build our school spirit
upon. This is not a situation to be discouraged about, but simply be aware of so
we can do something about it.

The responsibility to do something about it rests on three organizations; the Stu-
dent Association being the first.

It is the S.A. officers' direct responsibility to provide a medium for student par-
ticipation by creating exciting programs and activities that emphasize and bring the
student body to the fore-front. This could be dramatically improved upon this year.

Also responsible for helping to generate school spirit is the administration. It is
nothing less than their duty to be involved, extra-curriculariy as well as in class, with
the students. They need to be visible and active participants in S.A. functions and
other areas of student life. (This may even mean attending a few chapels).

Lastly, the greatest degree of responsibility for creating school spirit has to fall
into the hands of the student body. .School spirit comes from and finds its definition
as to what it really is within the student body itself.

Dear Editor,

In response to the editorials of the past two weeks,
we feel that light could be shed on the "Southern
Matrimony College Controversy." There are two sides
to every issue and this my dear fiiends is no exception.

1 . The female perspective: Many girls come lo college
wanting to further their education and broaden their
horizons, but yes, some come to find a husband. The
girls actively involved in their education lend to not
become distressed by the lacksadaisical attitude of the
males on campus, but the giris looking for a husband
find this situation most distressful. They primp and put
on their best manners only to be shunned by unimpress-
ed males. Sitting around waiting for that perfect guy
to make the telephone ring is a long and agonizing pro-
cess, making the unsuspecting female develop nerves,
—■ the patience of Job. Which maybe these

part of God's plan, because the naive
find herself in the position of wife,
oman, gardenkeeper, housecleaner,
ana men must put delicious meals on the table several
times per day, followed only by the care and feeding
of the animals (which may or may not be her family.)

2, The male perspective— while dodging marriage anx-
ious females, they're trying to find a major that will
hopefuUy provide enough monetary suppon where they
can enjoy the finer things in life: skiing, sailing, driv-
ing a fas, car, and an exciting nigh. on the town. In
reality, they are faced wiih exam-

School spirit is looking to and emphasizing all the positive aspects fo your sch
and not dwelling on the negative. Its being proud and vocal about the things T
like within the institution instead of complaining about it's faults.

By the same token, ignoring the downfalls of your school will do no more
generate spirit than apathy will. Making a voice to try and implement change wher' I

We at Southern are in a very dangerous situation. Apathy has taken a strong hold I
and settled in over the majority of the campus. If allowed to go unchecked and

It Only Takes A Spark

By Sieve Dobias

As one wanders through the back roads of southeastern Tennessee, he slowly
descends into a tranquil setting of Happy Valley, Collegedale. He is instantly sur-
rounded in a mystic peaceful setting. New friends are made. Challenges of classes
toil on him day after day. Slowly, his blanket of security surrounds him as he becomes
totally absorbed in his homework, friends, and work. Fears of getting involved, speak-
mg out, demonstrating, etc., seem to just disappear as the shroud of apathy encom-
passes him. He blends unnoticed and untouched into his new environmeni.

Why does this have to happen to us year after year? With each new year, another
cycle begins in the lives of over 400 people in Happy Valley- .Articles are written
speeches are made, and actions are taken, but the results are the same— apathy' '

Of all years to be apathetic. 1986-87 should not be one. True, the year is a little
more than a quarter over, but we have all the symptoms of apathy. Hasn't the ef-
fects of the new administration given us an incentive to break from the past or are
we drudging along under the heavy burden of trying to comply with the new regula-
tions and restrictions?

Intercollegiate Activities Evaluated

In recent months the question has
arisen concerning school spirit on out

parently so much school spirit in other
college and university campuses but very
little on our campus. This idea probably
falls in line with the philosophy that
Christians do not smile much or have a
lendancy to carry long faces around with

to see where school spirit is developed

Does a school only have spirit and

On most college campuses school spirit

'Those of You, With or Without Dates,
You'll Understand!''

By Brent Van Arsdell

I ate lunch with some mad women four times last week. They were mad at the
men of S.C; mad that they hadn't gotten asked out to the banquet. One girl said
she got dates from some out of town men, but none from Talge. I quickly drew a
hammer and sickle on a paper napkin, threw it on the girls side of the table and
declared the S.C. cold war. Then I did the political thing and set out to find a way
lo reduce intra-dorm tensions. It's just like in "real" politics — It ain't easy!

Your mother hopes that college will be a great proving ground and a "hunting
field." She wants you to be well prepared for a career and she wants you to find
what I will call, "a lasting relationship." Why are you at S.C. anyway? If the Chris-
tian environment here was perfect and the faculty better than Harvard, would you
still came to S.C. if it was a school for only your sex? Is it dates, a Christian educa-
tion, or spouses that we are after? Is, "All of the above" an option?

Imagine explaining love S.C. style to someone who knows nothing about how the
Ameriankski get together to get married. You might say, "Well a guy calls up a girl
and asks her out. If he likes her and she thinks he's ok, they'll go out again, if not,
the guy wiU call someone else the next Saturday night." Does it sound Uke the perfect

Why is the "satisfaction with social life" quotient, as measured by my unofficial
lunch line survey, so low? The people are here, they just aren't getting together. I
think that part of the problem is how students view the purpose of dating. Is dating
just for fun, oris it something that people do in order to get married? Having "com-
mitment" in your mind set is probably the responsible thing lo do, but it can ruin
a first date. It is a rare man at S.C, who will admit that he is not just "dating around."
To admit that you are "looking" seems to bring to mind "Desperate Senior Theo
Major Seeking Nursing Major Who Plays the Piano and Sings."

In reality, what we do with the Joker and who we call up and go out with, even-
tually gets a loi of S.C. students to the allar. It's just that getting there, and not
getting there, leads a lot of students on an emotional ride. Our method of marriage
IS not tougher than you think; it's tougher than you wish it was. Women may be
inierested in knowing that some of the "Men of Taige" don't date much because
ihey realize that they aren'l good husband material (no job prospects) yet. Ok— so

cy to "choose 'em from a good safe distance." I call this the deadly serious approach
to dating. Don't go out with someone if you don't think you could marry her. The
built in flaw is that you end up deciding if a person is marriage material without
any idea of what is more than skin and maimers deep. The unfortunate result is that
20 percent of the girls get about 80 percent of the invitations. Phone calls go to the
gtiod looking and sometimes the pleasantly talkative.

To admit that you are "looking"
seems to bring to mind "Desperate
Senior Theo Major Seeking
Nursing Major Who Plays the
Piano and Sings."

I have two suggestions. First, try God, He has the answers even if you don't know
all the questions. Second, try to talk to the person you Uke. To be interesting, be
interested in the person and what he or she likes, even if it is something crazy like
building airplanes or ham radios.

Remember that there are no simple solutions and there are no magic buttons. There
are only intelligent choices which, made one day at a time, will make your life more
liveable.

Turkeys A ttack VillagA
In Mexico

Late Saturday night, a vicious gang of
Leftist turkeys attacked the peaceful
village of Pueblo, Mexico, killing 18
villagers and inflicting wounds on hun-
dreds more. The reason for this outburst
of violence was unknown until an inter-
view with Rambird, the leader of these
vicious guerrillas, revealed that the attack
was prompted by the villagers annual at-
tacks on these "helpless" birds. Accor-
ding to Rambird, the villagers have, in the
past few years, been trapping and
sacrificing turkeys for one of their annual
festivals.

"These acts of savage butchery have
gone on long enough!" squawked Ram-
bird. "We've tried to be nice about it but

Grundset Visits
Yukon To Observe
Rare Breed Of Turlteys

E.O. Grundset, better known as the
"big bird man" in ornithological circles,
just returned from an impromtu trip to
the Yukon to observe a rare breed of bird
known as the Abominable Snow Turkey.
The mysterious Meleagrididae was last
seen by an Eskimo fisherman in Fair-
banks, Alaska. When asked to show
evidence of his sighting, a pile of bones
was produced. "It was Thanksgiving,"
said the festive fisherman, "So I had to

Grundset took with him several
students: Brian Sparks, Benjie Sanchez,
Brett Hadley, and Clyde Bloom. Clyde
is not a student, but went along just for
his ability to drive, bird watch, talk on
the C.B. and hum "Rockin Robin" all

"These are the best bird people I've
ever had in my orinthology class" com-
mented Grundset, "Especially Brian
Sparks, he thinks like a bird." Clyde
Bloom went on to say, "Yeah, I guess
you could call him a real bird brain."
Clyde was later taken to the emergency
room at Erlanger to have his face grafted
back on.

Once in the Yukon, the band of bird-
watchers took at once to the wild out-
back in search of the Abominable Snow
Turkey. Eariy on in the hunt Benjie San-
chez alarmed the group believing he saw
the allusive aves hiding in the underbrush,
but it turned out to be an old fishing lure.
Determined that he saw the bird Benjie

took off into the underbrush and was not
heard from again. He is believed to of
been carried off by Big Foot or a Kodiak
bear in heat. Rumor has it that Benjie,
bear and cubs are all doing fine and plan
to move to Point Barrell Alaska, where
there is a Taco BeU.

Eventually the turkey was sighted by
Brett Hadley. "I really didn't find it on
my own," commented Hadley, "I was
talking to some teen-age eskimos when 1
noticed Grundset shaking violantly; it
looked like he was gong into convulsions.
He was pointing towards the sky and
there it was, this huge turkey standing
ominously before us.

The Abominable Snow Turkey is ten
times larger than a normal turkey,
something Grundset failed to mention to
the class. As the band of birders realized
their desperate situation they began to
run, but it was too late. With an ' 'Oh my
stars!" from Grundset, the oversized aves
swooped down and carried off Clyde. All
seemed desperate until Grundset, taking
control fo the situation, leaped from a
tree landing on the turkey. Amidst flut-
tering feathers and "Oh my stars" a
heated battle took place. But as the dust
settled, Grundset, Clyde and a box of
chicken IVlcNuggets were all that was left.

Grundset and the class returned to
Southern in time for a tremendous
Thanksgiving dinner with the largest But-
terhall in history.

something had to be done to stop these
horrible acts of carnage." Later, after the
interview it was nimored that the Russian
government may have helped the rebels
by supplying them with communist
weapons.

According to one of the surviving
villagers, the turkeys surrounded the
village about 1:00 a.m. and then began
to advance, breaking into stores and
houses, pilfering anything of value and
shooting anyone who tried to stop them.
"It was ghastly, simply unbelievable as
the thousands of gobbling birds march-

villager. "I barely had enough time to

A Turkey's View On
Thanksgiving

Robin Parish and T Gobble TalL

Turkey Gobbles For Accent
Interview

T. Gobbler: After carefully observing the migratory habits of the inhabitants of Col-
legedale, we turkeys found that since everyone evacuates the area around Thanksgiv-
ing, we could safely stay here without threat to Hfe or drumstick. Besides, turkeys
iove Little Debbie Oatmeal pies.

Accent: Do you attend classes here at Southern College?

T. Gobbler: Oh, yes! I love going to school here. My favorite class is ornithology.
Accent: Rumors have been circulating around campus that you will be running for
Siudent Association president next semester. Are these stories true?

T. Gobbler I am planning to officially announce my campaign for Southern College
SA president after Christmas. My brother. Wish Bone Gobbler, wants to take over
the newspaper, and my cousin, Chick Butterball, is running for student service

director.

Accent: If elected president, what changes would you make around campus?

T. Gobbler I;d like to initiate bird seed breaks and organize Gobbling Bands to visit
the local retirement coops. To encourage more respect for the feathered folk on cam-
pus, 1 fee! it is important that we have a Poultry History Week. But by far the most
important item on my political agenda is naming the biology trail "The Benjamin
Franklin Memorial Walk" in honor of the great American hero who stood firm in
support of the turkey as the national bird.
Accent: I hear you boycotted badminton class last semester. Why is that?

I'm not sure how it happened, but
many years ago my ancestors started a
tradition. I should say they became a
traditon. They basically lived up to their
name by becoming the main course for
an American holiday-Thanksgiving.

Ben Franklin tried to save us by mak-
ing our family (Meleagridinae) the na-
tional bird. That fell through, and we
ended up in a very embarrassing position
on the tables of thankful people across
the nation. Do you realize how mortify-
ing it is for us to see our relatives up
there-plucked, decapitated, basted, bak-
ed and STUFFED? You know, you never
see the Bald Eagle eaten with cranberry
sauce. . . Isn't it weird how a twist of fate
can change the course of history?

Anyway, now that you know how I feel
about the fowl play invovled, let me ex-
plain how I feel about Thanksgiving in
general.

I find it amusing that holidays are
always accompanied by large doses of
festive foods (the kind that turkey Mark
McFaddin always eats). But I think I get
the biggest gobble out of Thanksgiving.
The week before Thanksgiving, moms
and grandmas go shopping especially for
that sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner.
Yeah, it's a big deal-they have to pick
out a special turkey (they wouldn't want
me unless they like lots of thigh) or make
a trip to the local dispensers of vegetarian
illusions to pick up some "mock" turkey
(I've always wondered who they think
they're making fun of).

'Tb the season for Americans to spend
lots of time and money to buy tons of
food, slave in the kitchen for hours, and
then gorge themselves. Of course, the
gorging part lasts all day. Dad and Un-
cle John watch football from the dinner
table so they will not miss a play while

getting up to slice another piece of
pumpkin pie. And when these activities
have concluded, you crazy humans are
ready to eat "turkey" sandwiches while
decorating the house for Christmas
(another excuse to eat).

The questions 1, as a very concerned
turkey, would like to ask are: How does
eating excessively express our gratitude to
God? Does consuming massive amounts
of yams and cranberry sauce in any way
show our appreciation for what God has
done for us?

I feel that we should do something for
him to say "thank you "- we should start
giving instead of taking. What can we
do? you ask. Well, my brilliant mind,
which is packed tightly into a very small '
skull, has come up with the solution.
Since eating lots of food, especially meat,
is bad for you anyway, let the food go
free. Send the cranberries home. Don't
pick that pumpkin. And most important-
ly, raid a few turkey farms to show how
much you appreciate life. Honor a
turkey. Make him your official bird.
Thank God for giving life to such a
beautiful nad intellectual creature. Play
with us- we love Trivial Pursuit. In fact
we're thinking of forming our own
Turkey Trivia team. Give a bird a break
and celebrate life!

Think of your cousin Sue (pretend you
like her). How would you feel if, on
Thanksgiving Day, you saw her thrown
on a silver tray, deviod of bodily hair, her
head totally gone, her body basted in real
butter and seasoning until brown and her
insides stuffed with rice dressing? Not a
pretty sight is it? O.K., so it's really

CoUegedale, TN (SCPR) - Southern

the Army out of the field Sunday, in an
all out effort on Sahly Field. The game,
which took up most of the day, featured

teams performed like "officers and

State Department
Welcomes Khadafy

Ft. Meade, Maryland (UPEye) -
Secretary-of-State Geroge P. Shultz
welcomed colonel Moammar Khadafy to-
day at an undisclosed U.S. Army base.

Khadafy, who received top security
clearance from the State department for
the visit, smiled for the T. V. cameras and
thanked Secretary Shultz for the surpris-
ingly warm welcom given him by the
American media and the small crowd of
250,000 protestors. He wasn't even a bit
surprised, however, when a group of
local gardeners, pausing from their work
nearby, tried to mow him down with their
Briggs and Strattons.

Reagan Says SDI is
Headed for SDS

Washington (APE) - President
Reagan, in a White House private
chamber, confided today to an aide that
the SDI (Strategic DeFence Systeme), a
French-designed missile security system
adopted by the U.S. government, is head-
ed for SDS (acronym for suds).
Mr. Reagan, asking that his comments re-
main confidential, spoke from the White

House official bath tub, saying he felt
that the SDI missile detergent system was
washed up. "Nancy and 1 feel that, until
the French can clean up their act and pro-
vide a more clean-sweep system, we can
no longer allow our defense contracts to
be laundered out."

Thanksgiving: The Way It Really Was.

A long lime ago this very lime of year a special event took place between a group
of Pilgrims and a group of Indians. It is a meaningful and well know story and I'd

like to tell you a different side of it.

The fall harvest was complete and to show their gratefulness to God the Pilgrims
planned a Feast. A feast of Thanksgiving. In their gratefulness, love and sharing fill-
ed iheir hearts and so they decided to invite a group of outsiders to join them. Yes,
the locals (Indians).

The big day arrived. The Indians came and with great interest and curiosity they
greeted the Pilgrims at the feast's beginning. They wondered how these white people
would celebrate the good harvest, the gift of the gods.

The Pilgrims had argued in their town council about the best approach to take
in dealing with these outsiders. The argument centered around the question of whether
to just lei the Indians be Indian or to insist on them behaving by Pilgrim life and
standards during the celebration. The Pilgrims knew their lifestyle was so superior
to the Indians and they just had to share it. That's how the strongest supporters of
the "Pilgrim Advantage" won out. They would require the Indians to conform to
their lifestyle. This they figured would benefit the Indians greatly.

The Pilgrims had an entrance gate set up at the edge of the village. As the Indians
. came through it they were required to remove their decorative beads, their magic
herb pouches, their animal teeth necklaces and even the warriors had to remove their
feathers and the chief his feather head piece. The Indians were deeply offended but
tolerated this strange white man behavior.

The Indians were told to sit at the table. The Medicine Man spoke up and said
they had to thank their gods before the meal or the next year's crop would be hurt.
The Pilgrims looked hesitant but in a great display of understanding said they could.
The Indians moved into a circle and began a rhythmic chant and then they began
to dance. Dance? ! Yes they were dancing! ! The Pilgrims were horrified and quickly
mobbed them telling them what a great sin dancing was. So they stopped, insulted
and confused but still tolerant of these strange customs of the white men.

They were told to sit down again. The braves did, while their women sat down
behind them on the ground. Oh, those Pilgrim women screamed! The women were
ordered to sit beside their braves. The women obeyed but looked confused and even
frightened. The Indians were insulted but again gently tolerated the strange customs
of these while people. The Indians were told to close their eyes for prayer but this

they refused to do. The white man had proved himself far too strange t

The food was brought out and the Indians also added their own foods to the tablel
But the Pilgrims wouldn't eat their food. ..it wasn't "Pilgrim food". So the root I
and the corn and the venison stayed untouched by the white people. The Indians!
especially the Indian women, were deeply hurt that all their preparation and work I
and food was not appreciated. But they smiled and gently accepted the foul ti
(but healthy) food of the Pilgrims.

After the eating was over the Pilgrims began their customary afternoon nap The I
Indians left. This was the best part of the Indians' day. They vowed t
from these strange, arrogant, rude white people.

The Indians didn't need to worry about the Pilgrims ■ they hardly ever saw them I
because the Pilgrims never went out to see the Indians. They never went out to observe I
how the Indians lived. They never tried to discover what they believed or why. They I

e Indians. But •■ ^"■" : — > - ■■ ■

ow much bettei
dians should adopt their "Pilgrim Advantage".

It went on like this until late in the winter. It was a very long winter and the Pilgrims' I
food ran out. They began to starve and to freeze to death. The Pilgrims were too L
proud to go ask for help. They didn't want to admit that they could need anything I
the Indians had or that there was any possibility that the Indians could teach them I
something. Fortunately for the Pilgrims an Indian came by to get back som
and feathers taken from him on his last visit and discovered their plight.

The Indians' chief called the council together and they quickly organized a relief I

Thanksgiving came again. It was a different Thanksgiving. They had the dance I
and the whites joined in. The Indians closed their eyes this year for the white n
prayer. They shared each others foods and they all sat at the table together without
bad feelings. After the meaJ they played games and talked. Together they had learn-
ed the "human advantage". They had learned it because the Indians still had com-
passion and love for a people who had been demanding, condescending, and arrogant.
Respect and compassion bring people together. Being "right" and being sure
and rubbing it in people's faces drives them away. This year be thankful God forgives. 1

re in the classroom. As the teacher droned on I began
to wonder whether or not to ask someone out for the weekend, but wait, would that
be neccessary? Pushing next weekend aside I began to worry about the fast ap-
proaching exam week. While thinking of upcomming finals I realize I must begin
studying this week as well as Saturday night and all day Sunday if I'm going to pass.

Life at college can become hectic at times. Worrying about the weekend activities,
homework, tests and so on lends to wear us out. Christmas vacation gives us a chance
to rest and forget about the everyday life at college. Most students go home, sleep
most of the time, and watch T.V. and really forget about the true meaning of
Christmas. But what is Christmas all about anyway? Many people feel Christmas
IS decorating a tree, gelling and giving presents, and having a large Christmas dinner I
with relatives. I feel there is a deeper meaning, one most of us forget about much |
too often. The dictionary states that Christmas is a holiday celebrated by Christians
as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus. God gave the worid its first Christmas pre-
sent: His Son Jesus. Christ's birth on this earth was probably the best gift God could

Southern Kudos

Dear Editor:

In reviewing the semester, more specifically the
Southern Accent, I have been pleased with its presenta-
tion. Never before, at least in my three years here at
Southern College, has tht Accent been out in August,
during the first week of school.

Also, the Accent editor, Brett Hadley, and the Accent
staff have successfully created two twelve-page issues
already this semester, with a sixteen-page Christmas issue
due out, according to the editor. This shows me that the
staff is working hard to put out a paper that is worth tak-

Another improvement I have noticed is the new
masthead used for the paper. It is modern and represents
a fresh outlook.

I feel x\ie Accent's improvements will be made com-
plete when the staff realizes their dream for a desk-top
publishing system, which has been pushed by Mr. Hadley.
It is my understanding that this new system would make
all laying-out obsolete, therefore cutting down con-
siderably on staff and budget. The Apple Macintosh 11,
with a page-maker, is the machine on which these im-
provements would be accomplished.

I commend the staff of the Southern Accent for their
hard work.

I- What really disturbs me is how much 1 enjoyed the issue.

r compatriot in foolissness, ^s well as other aspects of

writing this short discourse regarding the S.A.
Chapel program held on Thurdsay, Dec. 4. First of all,
I want to commend the Accent staff for the creative way
in which they illustrated the need for a new computer.
However, I feel that the presentation did not reflect Chris-
tian standards. Southern College is above all a Christian
institution. We, as students, pay plenty of money to ob-
tain a Christian education, and if we wanted to hear rock
music at our Chapel programs, we certainly would not
be spending the extra money to attend Southern College
because we could get that type of program on a secular
campus for considerably less money.

What bothers me most is the image poitrayed by some
of us students who are in leadership positions. Do we
realize that our words and actions have a profound in-
fluence on those around us? Are we offering the exam-
ple that Christ would find appropriate? Are we emulating
Christ or MTV? These are hard questions to answer, but
each of us must resolve them for ourselves.

I feel strongly that we at Southern College need to be
an example to the world. We should not see how close
we can get to the world and still claim to be Christ's

of the attic," said firefighter Glenn King.
It took approximately 20 minutes to get
the fire under control.

One firefighter, Andy Buck, captain of
Tri-Communily fire station number 5,
was injured. While making his way
through the house, a weak section of the
floor collapsed underneath him. "His in-
juries were not too bad," commented
Michelle Ledford, a Tri-Community am-
bulance worker, "just a few bruises."

Eight trucks from all five Tri-
Community fire stations responded to the
call. The cause of the fire is under
investigation.

Dr. Norman R. Gulley, Professor of
Religion at Southern College, wrote a
book manuscript on the Seventh-day
Adventist 27 fundamental beliefs, this
manuscript was accepted nearly five
months ago by the General Conference
Ministerial Department, in consultation
with the General Conference officers. It
is to become the basis of an official doc-
trinal book for professional readers
within and beyond our church. Some 200
readers are going over the manuscript.
They represent persons from each of our
world Divisions, and from every
seminary and college. Dr. Gulley was in-
vited to join the executive committee
I commissioned to steer the book to
J publication, hoped for in 1987.
, The author arranged the 27 fundamen-

tal beliefs in a logical order under six ma-
jor headings-God, man, Christ, salva-
tion, church and end events, such an ar-
rangment is common in theological texts
of other denominatins, and is also found
in Loma Linda University Dr. Richard
Rice's book The Reign of God, 1985 (not
identical listing). The reason for
systematizing the 27 to 6 was to reach
those who read theology systematically.
It is very much like scientists come to
nature and make systems out of the ob-
jective evidence found therein. When
ideas cohere and their inner rationality is
seen, the total picture of what the church
stands for can hopefully be better
understood.

It is this misunderstanding of Adven-
tists that fired the project. Dr. Gulley. as
a graduate student at Edinburgh Univer-
sity (1967-70), while studying through
Karl Earth's system (8.000 pages in which
he unfolds doctrines in a Christ-centered
manner), became convinced that Adven-
tists should do the same. For still many
designate us as a cult religion, a sect,
meaning that we are less Christ-centered.
And yet we are the people that were com-
missioned to be foremost in uplifting
Christ before the world (Gospel iVorkers
p. 156) and told that "Every truth in the
Word of God from Genesis to Revela-
tion, must be studied in the hght that
streams from the cross of Christ."
(Gospel Workers p. 315)

With this mandate in mind, Dr. Gulley.
within space and time restrictions, over
a few years, attempted to stand at the
cross and unfold each of the six major
sections of truth, as concentric circles
around Calvary. For in the cross we find
the greatest revelation of God, man,
Christ, salvation, church and end-events!
When each section, and every constituent
part within it, are thought through
together, and illuminated by the cross
then doctrinal study becomes a study of
the One who is the Truth (John 14:6).
rather than just a study of truth for its
own sake. Evangelism, preaching and
teaching truths should be opponunities
for presenting the One who is the Truth.
Jesus must be seen as central in each.

Dr. Gulley found in Ephesians 4:21 the
key. .."The truth as it is in Jesus." This
became the title of his manuscript. It is
his hope that this book may, in some
small way, help Christ to be seen in our
fundamental beliefs, so that in studying
them one may be led to Him, for the pro-
mise is sure, "I. if I be lifted up, I will

Norman Gulley: New book on
Adventist doctrine

draw all men unto me." (John 12:32)
With this in mind. Dr. Gulley says, "It
is exciting and humbling to have this
book manuscript accepted. It is not
ultimately my manuscript. I give all credit
to the One to whom it belongs-to the
One who is the Truth, who has guided me
in the quest, and brought inspiration and
blessing along the trek. I could never have
done it without Him."

Retrenchment, according to Webster,
s, "a reduction ofexpenses." This year,
I Southern College has found the need to
j reduce their expenses by terminating the
contracts of approximately 14 teachers.
, According to Dr. Sahly, President of
, Southern College, the school's enrollment
, has been declining for five or six years.
■ the same lime there has been a reduc-
n m staff through retirement, reloca-
tion and other means. The problem lies
■n that the reduction of staff, or program
capacity, has not paralleled the reduction

Vinita Sauder, after spending three
successful years as director of public rela-
tions and marketing at Southern College
has decided to call it quits. She has of-
ficially turned in her resignation, effec-
tive December 19, 1986. Mrs. Sauder,
who is leaving to continue her education,
expressed her regrets for leaving. "I will
really miss the office. I hate to leave but
1 feel it's time for me to get the Masters."
Vinita is planning on working full time
for her MBA with a marketing emphasis
at UTC. "The other motive." she adds,
"is my one year old child with whom I'd
like to spend more time."

Mrs. Sauder has accomplished a lot in
the three short years she has spent at
Southern. Some of the accomplishments
came in the form of publications that the
department began to produce under her
leadership. VIEWBOOK, a recruitment
magazine, was started and, soon after,
ADVANTAGE followed. ADVAN-
TAGE was another recruitment magazine
that was developed-geared toward high
school students. This magazine earned a
national award among 600 other entries

from other schools. PARENT LINE is
another magazine scheduled to come off
the press next month. Its emphasis will
be directed towards the parents of the col-
lege's students.

All of this success seemed to have come
fast for Vinita, who graduated from col-
lege as recently as 1978. A Southern Col-
lege alumnus with a double major in Ger-
man and Communications-Journalism,
Vinita went to work after graduation as
managing editor for the PALM BEACH
CHRONICLE. She worked there for a
year and a half before she decided she
would rather work within the church
system. She then took her talents to Ket-

where she served as Communications
Editor for the Public Relations office.

Southern Christmas
Concert Successful

By Jim Huenergardl

Gloria was the main theme at the Friday night vespers program; performed by the
combined College and Academy choirs, along with the SC Symphony Orchestra under
the direction of Orlo Gilbert.

The Southern College Brass Ensemble, directed by Pat Silver, preluded the vespers
program with a "Suite of Carols." Following the ensemble, two works, which are
both named "Gloria," come from the 17th and 20th century were performed by the
main chorus. The first piece was written by Antonio Vivaldi and was composed of
twelve movements. It featured soloists Holly Holweger and Kim Stebbins. A small
group of orchestra members accompanied the

- "Glorias" consisted of a beautiful solo number, which

"ds performed by Julie Abril on the harp.

Next, the entire orchestra joined the choir to perform the 20th century composi-
tion Gloria" by Francis Poulenc. This modern rendition consisted of 6 movements
and was graced by the lovely voice of the soprano soloist, Billye Brown Youmans

Urio Gilbert chose these two pieces because they both exalted the birth of Christ
as well as being of the same Latin text and Liturgical Mass. Professor Gilbert also
did not want to repeat Handel's "Messiah" since it was done last Christmas. The
orchestra was introduced to the music only two weeks before the >

Woman Charged with
Product Tampering

Seattle, Washington {AP)--A womar
was arrested early Sunday at Big Daddy's
supermarket in Lynnwood after a store
security guard said he saw her inject an
unidentified liquid into at least one con-
tainer of ice cream, police said. The
woman, Lenore Ann Lee, 28, entered the
store about 2:00 a.m. with a man, who
stopped in the video section. Security

guard Randy Wiseman said he saw the
woman tampering with a cork on a cham-
pagne bottle, then followed her to the
freezer where she injected the ice cream.
Wiseman took the syringe away from the
woman as she was attempting to inject a
second carton, and they scuffled. Police
arrested her as she was getting into her
car—her companion escaped. If con-
victed, Ms. Lee could be sentenced to 25
years in prison and $50,000 fine, a FBI
spokesman said. The FBI has been call-
ed in on all food and drug tampering
cases since the fatal cyanide poisoning of

Wyatt, 37, of Homestead, Florida was
flying his twin-engine Beechcraft Baron
from Nassau (Bahamas) to OpaLocka
when it developed fuel and navigational
problems late Friday, causing him to
ditch the aircraft off the Cay Sal Bank.

Wyatt crawled onto the plane's wing, but
it sank 20 minutes later, leaving him alone
in a leaky life vest with two defective
flares-and sharks bumping into him. "At
one point I was bumped pretty hard and
it scared me," Wyatt said. "I had my ten-
nis shoes on. When they came up to
bump me I kicked them and that
discouraged them. There are a lot of
sharks out there with U.S. Keds stamped
on their heads," he said.

Lighting Up For A Southern Christmas

By Lynford Morton
Thursday night, December 4, after
a couple of postponements courtesy of
[he weather, Southern College and the ci-
ty of Coilegedale celebrated the annual
Christmas tree lighting. This year's theme
was in line with the "Tennessee '86
Homecoming" and was well attended by
both students and the community.

Jan Rushing opened with a short
welcome before turning the show over to
Bob Bolton and the Coilegedale Academy
Band. The band entertains with a few
Christmas carols before being interrupted
with the distraction of flashing lights and
screaming sirens--i.e. the arrival of the
Santas. In keeping the spirit of
Homecoming '86, all of the Santas who
ever served for any functions on campus
or in Coilegedale were invited back to
participate in the Christmas tree lighting
ceremony. Seven Santas in all came back
escorted by poUce car, fire engine, and an
ambulance. Having made an impressive
entrance, the Santas piled out on the steps
of Wright Hall led by E.O. Santa Claus
Grundsel who introduced the other six:
Bill Taylor, Charies Fleming of Fleming
Plaza, Jim Hermann, a campus favorite,

then took a short ride around the corner
to the Christmas tree for that evening's
main event. The Santas this time carried
Lee Holland out of the truck and over to
the tree where he fiddled with the lights
and through some act of "magic", voila,
the Christmas tree is suddenly il-
luminated. While the crowd around the
tree disbursed for refreshments, the San-
tas threw out candy canes to the crowd
with the exception of Orville Reden-
bacher Santa who threw out what else but
popcorn balls!

For the rest of the evening music was
broadcast across campus. The Instruc-
tional Media department will continue to
broadcast music over campus every night

Farewell Southern College

By Stan Hickman

Two and a half years ago at four a.m. on a Sunday morning one nervous Califor-

ua boy pulled up in front of Talge Hall. He was 2,300 miles from home and he didn't

;now a single person. This was like "Pee-wee's big adventure." This boy had decid-

d to leave California to get away from home and friends. He wanted to find out

note about his church and he wanted to find a working relationship to God. He

ISO hoped to gain a degree along the way that would help him toward law school.

It was tough. All his friends all his family so far away. He was lonely. Friday nights

^ »ere unbareable. He remembered the weekly (Friday) Sabbath dinner with the whole

I family and how afterwards he and his brother would go see their friends and goof

' around. But the people at S.C. were very warm and he made friends quickly. They

t real deep friendships, but they were friends.

ne grew real close to his roommate Bill. Bill was always there to talk with and

HiU cared. He was a real friend. Bill carried him through that first semester.

Time moved on. The California boy got to know the deans. They became friends.
1 he head dean offered him a job for second semester. He liked it and liked the deans
and so at the end of the year he applied for an R. A. position for the next year. That
was m case he decided to come back after the summer. For a while that second semester
he was sure he wouldn't. He couldn't stand what he saw as Adventism's version of
Chnstianity.

He was repulsed by the unquestioning attitudes of students and faculty. He couldn't
believe the ngid views and especially the rigid attitudes. He was shocked by the hostility
ne received when he challenged the cliches, the easy answers, the off repeated end
01 discussion Ellen White quotes. He was frustrated. He could not understand the
attitudes. He couldn't see God in these people. He couldn't see the love that he ex-
pec eo to see in good Christians in good Adventists. Rules and theology seemed stress-
ed to the exclusion of the idea of God's love and of being loving people.

Fortunately, this Californian Adventist stumbled into a religion class that chang-
ed his view of the church. The class was Comparative Religion, taught by Dr. Jerry
tJladson. What a class. So much information. To discover the thoughts of so many
other peoples pursuing God in so many different ways. It forced him to think and
nink hard. This is what he'd come here for, to be challenged, to question and thus
to learn. Real learning does not take place without sincere questioning with a tint
o skepticism. If learning is to be just like programming a computer then this school
was doing an excellent job: garbage in, garbage out; Adventism in. Adventism out.
nis school was programming him rather than helping him to pursue knowledge and
a challenging, exciting class. This was the pursuit of knowledge

not believe in the u-on-dad nature of the revelation Adventists claimed. (A step back
is necessary here so that you can understand this young man. The previous class was
taught from the Adventist perspective.) The person is of course me, and I will now
assume first person. Since I've dragged you in this far. I hope you can tolerate the

Two years before coming to S.C. a very special friend of mine died in a plane crash.
He was the pilot. His name is Mark. He had been my idol through my high school
years. He was three years older than me and a wild guy. He was fun. We had met

How To Survive
Christmas

How To Survive: The Relatives
At Christmas

As Christmas break
looms near, students of
Southern College will begin
their trips home. Some will
travel via airplane and
others by car. We will have
completed our final exams,
and stress and fatigue will
definitely be in the air. Gas
stations will need to be
visited, luggage packed,
and last minute details will
need to be wrapped up. In
our tired minds, jumbled
up with English,
phychology, accounting,
pyhsics, and astronomy,
the thought of a peaceful
Christmas vacation will
compel us to press on
diligently.

Finally, we are ready to
begin our journey home.
Lady passengers who need
to stop frequently, traffic
jams, flat tires, and bad
weather all make the trip
seem endless, but the glim-
mering thought of home
keeps us driving. At last,
the final passenger is
deposited, and the
Christmas carols are crank-
led up as we drive the final
I miles home.

But, oh no, could it be?
Yes, they're here! The
relatives have arrived. You
walk in, exhausted, in need
of peace and quiet. Your
mother kisses you, and then
asks you to take your little
cousins Billy and Bobby
outside to play. No pro-

blem, you mistakenly
think. Billy and Bobby
want to play cowboys and
Indians. Quickly, you find
yourself tied to a tree to be
burned at the stake. Lucki-
ly your mom smells the
smoke and saves you-
mueh to the dissappoint-
ment of Billy and Bobby.

Whew! What a narrow
escape. Finally, supper is
over, Christmas carols have
been sung, and goodnights
exchanged. As you begin
the long climb upstairs,
mother stops you and asks
you to allow Aunt Polly
and Uncle George to have
your bed since they are
guests.

Sadly, you drag your
tired body to the lumpy
couch, which Rover intends
to share. As you lie there
and contemplate two more
such weeks, your Christmas
dreams shatter into
nothing. So you ask for my
advice on how to survive
the relatives at Christmas,
but what is there to say?
Just grin and BEAR IT!!

How To Survive:
Christmas Mastication

By Brent Van Arsdell

Christmas in my home
town is a time when it is
socially acceptable to kill
someone you like. The ap- -
proved method-snack him
to death!

Around the first of
December, shadowy

characters with names like
Zaworski, and Shimanski
move in on my family.
They bring goodie covered
plates and platters
decorated in "blood-death
red" festive holiday colors!
When you ask a Zaworski
what he is bringing he'll
just say, "ess verry goot!"
but even if he does tell you
what it is, you won't be able
to say it, (isn't it morally
wrong to eat something you
can't even pronounce?)

You'll eat one just to
show that you want to

December 11, 1 986/SOUTHERN ACCENT/9

maintain peace in the
neighborhood, but as soon
as the Zaworski leaves
you'll run to the bathroom
to maintain peace in your
stomach.

Now I don't want to
knock all this Christmas
homemade junk food stuff,
some of it is really good,
good for tha Alka-Seltzer
to the rescue people that is.
Even if what you eat
doesn't make you rush for
the plop-plop-fizz-fizz,
you'll feel guilty for the
weight gain, guilty for the
unneeded calories, and guil-
ty for the between meal
snacks. "Not a morsel
should pass your
lips". ..between quotations
from your grandmother,
(isn't that how it goes?).

But I have a solution for
the X-mas indigestion
madness. Enjoy the
holidays and bake lots of
snacks with names like San-
ta's delight, chocolate
creme puffs de X-Lax, and
Mrs. Clauses revenge. You
should even try to make
one that's called "poteitz-
ah", it's a real winner!

Wrap up your goodies
and trimmings and trapp-
ings (in blood-death red
festive holiday colors) and
send them to someone you
really want to impress this
holiday season, or maybe
someone that 's truly needy.

How To Survive:
Christmas Shopping

By Bret! Hadtey

Have you ever noticed
-that around Christmas time
everybody seems to be ex-
traordinarily friendly?
Something about the season

brings out the best in peo-
ple. With a hearty "Merry
Christmas" and an affable
"Happy New Year", you

know there must be
something special about
this time of year. Smiles
seem to abound on every
face you see. Christmas,
New Year's Day and the
whole season in general
tends to make everyone
happy and hospitable.

However, if you take a
quick trip to the shopping
malls, you will find that this
spirit of joy and giving are
non-existent. Just enter any
women's clothing store and
you will see that "peace and
good will towards men"
have no place there. Instead
of smiles you see grimacing
faces and glares that seem
to say, "Don't shop next to
me or I'll blow your face
off with a bazooka!"

No one wishes anybody a
Merry Christmas in a
women's clothing store. In-
stead you hear things like,
"Get your hands off this
blouse, winch, I saw it
first!" Or in the checkout
line, "Move it moron,
there's people going into
retirement back here."

I do all my Christmas
shopping in July; it's much
safer. As a child, I
remember my mother doing
all the family's Christmas
shopping. Now I know
why: women are the more
vicious of the species. A
Christmas sale is hke a
feeding frenzy to women.
Housewives, who are nor-

mally well-mannered,
good-natured people, turn
into demented lunatics
when they see the word
"SALE".

So how do normal peo-
ple, like you and I, survive
these crazed lunatics of the
malls? I have a few sugges-
tions which may be helpful.

First of all, remember
that there are no rules of
etiquette when it comes to
Christmas Shopping; it's
every man for himself.

Secondly, use athletic
techniques. Think of shop-
ping as a professional
sport. If you see a crowd
gathered around a table of
shirts that has something
you want on it, use the
"jump over the defense like
Herschel Walker" method.
When you happen to be in
a crowd of people rushing
for the last pair of Levi's
501 jeans, size 31, think like
Wayne Gretzke and use
body checks.

Once you have the item
you wish to purchase, run
a hundred yard dash to the
checkout line. If you have
some friends with you, let
them run interference for
you. It is possible you
might run over some small
children and a few grand-
mothers, but, hey, that's
the risk they take by going
shopping. Remember, it's a
professional sport the
amateurs and veterans must
be eliminated.

If you follow these sim-
ple guidelines your
Christmas shopping should
be smoother than it has ever
been before. So, I wish you
good luck. Merry
Christmas, and happy
hunting.

A Christmas Shopping Guide

By Sonia Sanchez

Now that Christmas is fast approaching, we are each faced with the age old pro-
blem of choosing gifts for family and friends, something that can seem so very sim-
ple, yei be so very complex.

Family are a liiile less difficult than friends. Generally because family members
don't feel as great a need to be subtle about what gifts they want. Perhaps you have
awakened to find a large banner posted to your ceiling that reads, "If you love me,
get me a compact disc player." Or maybe you've poured out your breakfast cereal
and, instead of a plastic toy, you find a note from your mother saying, "You could
be eating a hot breakfast, if I had a G.E. microwave oven."

Shopping for friends, on the other hand, can be a long and frustrating experience;
especially if your friend is of the opposite sex. Never fear! Help is here!

To make your Christmas season a relaxing one, we here at the Southern Accent
have put together a list of just a few gift suggestions for guys and girls to give each

As always, ladies first. In contemplating gift ideas for girls, the first thought that
comes to mind is clothes, which is a great thought! I can't think of one girl who
would not enjoy receiving clothes.

For instance, take sweaters; 1 can assure you that a girl can never have enough
sweaters. This also is a piece of clothing that can fit any budget range.

For example, you can pick up a nice sweater at the local J.C, Penney or Sears
for around S25. Or if you desire something a little nicer. Casual Corner carries some
nice knit sweaters for about S35. If the girl you have in mind likes to keep up with
ail the latest in fashion, you could drop by The Limited and get a beautiful Outback
Red sweater for around $38. Benetton has a fantastic selection of sweaters ranging
from S60-S90.

If sweaters are too stuffy for you, Coca-Cola clothes are available. Coke is "in,"
very affordable, and offers a wide selection. They have everything from bathing suits
to sweaters, from sweat pants to jeans, and the classic jersey shirts. You can find
Coca-Cola clothing in Lovemans and Miller's, starting at $30.

So many limes people look at an outfit as several obvious articles of clothing. An
outfit is more than a shirt and pants, it is often those little accessories that really
make an outfit.

Gloves and scarves, when bought in a set. can be a great addition to any outfit.
Miller's and Lovemans sell nice sets, but if you are looking for a more casual look,
why not pick from the United Colors of Benetton, or the store for which there is
no substitute. The Limited.

Perfume is always a nice gifi. Some of the more popular perfumes are Diva by
Ungar, Beautiful by Estee Lauder, the Liz Claiborne line, and Poison by Christian
Dior. Other favorites include White Linen, Obsession, Chloe', Chanel No. 5, and
■ ■ *s almost endless. There is a fiagrance to match almost any budget.

Now, for you girls who are about to begin shopping for that special man (or
in your life, here are some gift ideas.

Picture this, if you will. ..Your special guy walking by your side, wearing a
new "born to be successful" oxford that you have bought for him at the local Milie'r'^^l
Lovemans, or Ira Triver's. These nice shirts usually range from $15-S2S \

wool, argyle sweater. This and other sweaters of varioi, J

Add to this pici
designs and materials can be found almost anywhere, like J. R. Riggin
ranging from $30-S60.

Perhaps you have awakened to find a largel
banner posted to your ceiling that reads, "If
you love me, get me a compact disc player."!

Let's not forget what a simple tie bar or clasp can do for a tie. You might e
want to buy a pair of cuff-links to add that classy touch.

For the more casual look, Swatch, Benetton, and Coca-Cola watches are v
popular this season. Price ranges vary from store to store, but $30-S40 should cove

With a chill in the air, a set of gloves or a handsome scarf would be a wonderful!
finishing touch to a delightful ensemble, and will help keep him warm when you c;
be there.

On a different line, there are many other items people will enjoy receiving, s
as a copy of the latest tape released, or maybe a poster or picture for their roi
A nice frame to hold that picture of the two of you at the banquet is an excellent]
idea. How about a new subscription to a favorite magazine?

Here at the Southern Accent, we hope that this list of gift ideas will add i
nience to your Christmas shopping. Have a Merry Christmas and remember
is not so much the gift that matters as it is the thought that goes with it.

many hours at the beach in the evenings thinking and thinking,
went to the desert and hiked and thought. I prayed for answers, I read my Bible.
I visited Mark's grave where the most vibrant, happy, loving person I had known
now lay still in the uncaring ground. He was dead, his life had been stolen; It was
over Mark would never smile again, never laugh, never cry--he was dead.

After four months of thinking, I came to some conclusions. God may be up there
or out there, he may have started it all, but he wasn't involved and there really was
no way of discovering if he was. I figured this "Father-God" was simply a creation

I came back. I've learned a special love for this church and people and I will con-
tinue to be a part of it and wilt raise my children in this Adventist culture. For this
I thank God, Dr. Gladson, and Dean Qualley. Both of these men showed me that
questioning and doubt can exist in a constructive relationship to God and Church.
1 was fonunate also to take Philosophy of Religion from Dr. Gladson, I was still
having trouble accepting religion and God intellectually. This philosophy class in-
volved the hardest reading materials I've ever touched and required me to think harder
than I ever had before. I came to see that the skeptics arguments were not superior
. They seemed equal and this was greatly encouraging. The
itually lead to a view that not even our own thinking is any
ctions of physicial material in a endless cause and effect cy-
cle. Thus, we have no basis to believe in the validity of our thinking. Therefore, there
IS no reason to beheve the thinking of the skeptic. He has refuted himself.

God IS meaning. God is the first cause in the cause and effect chain. God created
the free will and the mtelleci that aUows us to find real answers and real truths. God
IS the only place where meaning can be found. Upon this discovery, I realized that
nothing could steal my faith again. My faith was now in line with my inteUect There
is a marvelous quiet confidence in a well thought out, well understood belief in God
This, I beheve, is the only type of faith that cannot be shaken.

Look at Job. All the conventional religious thought of his day could not explain
why he, an innocent man, was suffering so. Though all his friends told him he was
wrong, though his church and culture condemned him as responsible for his own
suffering, he refused to bow. He held to his innocence. Job spoke against the beliefs
of his religious culture and did so solely on the basis of his own understanding of
his own relationship to God. It turns out that Job was far closer to being correct
than his friends. What was the answer? Sorry, that's not for me to tell you That's

I'll be in heaven. Anything, no matter how bad, is worth doing to get eternal life.
Surely, if I do good things for God, he'll bless me; he wouldn't let bad things happen
to me like they happen to those non-believers." Does any of this sound familiar to
you? Almost everyone thinks this way. Could there be anything else?

My conclusion is, that there is. I don't think that even the best externals can satisfy
ihe empty spirit that cries out for a life with God, for a life filled deeply with mean-
ing. To paraphrase Thoreau (and John Dysinger) I don't want to come to the end
^ of my life and realize that I have not hved. I want the central focus of my life to
be the attempt at understanding God, to understanding life, and thus how I should
~ relate to life and to other people. I want to spend my life growing as a person, grow-
ing spiritually. Therefore, I am rejecting the value system of my society and to some
extent, the value system of my church. For now, I will pursue truth, God, for no
fl other reason than the desire to learn and the desire to become a real and whole per-
to be a person who can love God, love himself, and truly love others

that I did not fmd much of here: Open attitudes, questioning minds, hearts striving
for God; faculty leading us to use our minds, to question, to discover things for
ourselves. Faculty, please, stop giving quick answers, stop using cliches, stop answering
before the student has even understood the question. Life is complex, often cruel
and very mysterious. There are no easy answers that can hold up against the injustices
ot evil, the injustices of life, the cruelty of death. Faith without real understanding
and questioning is empty, and will collapse. The first major disaster of your life will
cause this. When death strikes your family or your friends, don't lose God Question

Care Corner

Destiny

By Tim Peters

Destiny, S.C.'s drama troupe, is a dimension of CARE, so involved in outreach
that the SC student body often doesn't realize how active it is. This club has on its
tour calendar, destinations ranging from New Orleans to Washington, D.C. What
is this club, which represents SC on so r
summarizes the philosophy of Destiny
through drama."

He continues. "Acting is an enjoyable way il. reach people and share God's love.
None of us are professional actors. We are very nervous before a performance, but
as we begin, we feel God's presence on stage. It is as if the angels are performing
with us. With God on our side, we have no difHculty."

This year the theme of the Destiny skits relies more on situations than parables,
and there is particular emphasis on Scriptural skits. As always, their programs pre-
sent the Christian experience from a variety of angles.

Destiny's presentations will be shared with many this year due to their elaborate
travel schedule. The first of these planned trips began on November 20, the date of
their presentation to Covenant College. The next day ihey drove to Fletcher Academy
to perform for the vespers service. Mount Pisgah featured Destiny in their Sabbath
morning program.

Destiny will visit Oakwood CoUege on April 10 of next year, the week before a
major tour to New Orleans. They will be in Birmingham on April 16, after which
Ihey will move on to a show at Bass Academy. The following Sabbath will bring
Destiny to New Orleans for a church service presentation.

For us in CoUegedale, March 27 is the date to look forward to. On that Friday,
Destiny and Hearisong will have their home show, which promises to be one of the
best ever.

Anyone interested in acting who has had any drama experience should contact Tim
Minear to find out about the possibility of becoming a member in the future. Destiny

Life • Take Two

She was an editor of a college newspaper. . Just like me. Coming to Southern Col-
lege from Michigan, for a weekend visit with her friends, it was totally by chance
that we met each other, I saw her in the lobby of Thatcher and mutual friends in-
troduced us. After the introduction we spent the entire weekend developing our com-
mon interests and getting to know each other. Since she was a visitor from up North
1 thought it would be appropriate for me to show her the campus of Southen Col-
lege, so on Sabbath afternoon we walked around campus viewing the different educa-
tional facilities; the end of the tour found us both in the Accent office. We talked
and laughed about each others ideas while watching the sun go down in a Southern
College sunset. When the sun had dissapeared neither one of us moved to turn on
the lights. There, in the dark we exchanged some philosophies and delved into each
others personalities to find striking similarities in our lives. I told her she was attrac-
tive. We counted a few stars, and then she had to leave... if I had it to do again,
I'd do it different.

You should see the sunset from the windows in the Accent office; it's pretty spec-
tacular sometimes. 1 was watching one the Thursday before Christmas break. My
last final had been taken without too much difficulty. (The hardest part was getting
my exam permits. I told Randy that I have a rich, Spanish uncle that owns a fruit
picking company and wants to make a contribution to the furtherment of my higher
education. ..he bought it fruit pickers and all). My vision was isolated on the sunset

Whose Education Is It Anyway?

Dear Editor:

It seems as if everyone is concerned about Christian
education lately. I am a sophomore at Southern College
of Seventh-day Adventists, Collegedale, Tennessee, and
in my two short years in attending S.C., I have seen many
things done to "improve the institution."

Transitions and criticism are the most popular tactics
used to enhance life at Southern College. Administrators,
faculty conference officials, and concerned constituents
have been discussing, debating, and dog-fighting about
education at Southern College of S.D.A. for the entire
time I have been in attendance here.

While concerned constituents mail out flyers that
slander S.C. in hopes to bring reform, the administra-
tion moves to cutback the academic faculty. In addition,
faculty members find little unity between the administra-
tion and themselves on the process by which Southern
can be revived. Conference officials add their two cents
to the vicious cycle that is desperately seeking the illusive
objective of "quality Christian education."

Amidst all of the transition, revision, and deliberation
concerning Southern College, one group has not been
consulted. The collegians of S.C. The one group which
is most directly affected by administrative decisions, con-
stituent begrudgement flyers, and faculty reductions, the
students, have been neglected in the crusade that everyone
else has decided to take up. Why has the student body
been excluded in making decisions and contributions to
the direction of their Christian education?

I know of no better source of infonnation about stu-
dent life than the student. Valuable insight can be ob-
tained concerning recruitment, curriculum practicality,
and campus atmosphere from the one who experiences
it directly. It is the student that holds the key to Southern
Collie's future. Everyone knows thaL It is past time that
constituents, conference officials, faculty, and ad-
ministrators acted on the knowledge of this fact.

I am concerned about my school. Southern College of
Seventh-day Adventists has become my college and I plan
to graduate from its halls. My time, money, goals, and
dreams are invested in this institution. Involve me in my
school. I want to see it prosper. I want to see its haUs
overflow with students. I want to be proud of its
academics, athletics, and objectives. I want to see it grow
and expand. I want a Christian education at Southern
College.

Neglect me and there is a decline in student enroUment.
Don't involve me and there is apathy. Overlook me and
there are curriculum malfunctions. Ignore me and there
is no Southern College.

I am the student. Please talk to me. Whose education
is it anyway?

Sincerely,

Brett Hadleyl

Appalachian Fund Gives
Southern College Capital Grant

Southern College of Seventh-Day
Adventist has received a $200,000 endow-
ment grant from the Appalachian Fund,
Inc., to continue the level of scholarship
support provided in recent years.

The Southern College endowment was
the largest of four endowmments granted
in December upon the dissolving of the
Appalachian Fund, Inc. Several other af-
niiates of the Fund received smaller
donations.

In the past five years about fifty
Southern College nursing students have
shared in scholarships totaling nearly
$50,000. The goal for the scholarships has
not only been to improve educational op-
portunities for Appalachian students but
also to help provide skilled nursing care
in the region.

"We're delighted with the Appalachian
Fund's willingness to support substantial-
ly the same scholarship program for
Southern College as in the past," said Dr.
Jack McClarty. vice president for
development at Southern College. "This
special grant gives focus and emphasis to

yet financially needy Appalachian nurs-
ing students," he stated, "and it wil sus-

tain a constant flow of compassionate,
highly qualified nurses who are prepared
to serve health needs of Appalachia."

Southern College enrolled over 300
nursing students this year. "Several of
these students are able to pursue their
educational goats only because of
scholarships such as those provided by
the Appalachian Fund, " said Dr.
Mcaarty.

More than 30 years ago the Ap-
palachian Fund was founded by Herbert
and Ruth Faber to improve the health
and well-being of people in Appalachia.
Accordng to their son, Stuart Faber,
president of the Fund, it was their wish
that the Fund would eventually work
itselfout of business. Though the Fund's
activities have now terminated, continua-
tion of its goals has been insured by en-
dowment grants such as the one given to
Southern College.

Headquarters for the Fund has been in
Berea, Kentucky. Some thirty affiliates of
the Appalachian Fund have met in an an-
nual conference each spring. Mrs.
Norbert F. Stammer has served as direc-
tor of the Appalachian Fund, Inc.

New Telephone System For Dormitories

By John Beckett
After many rumors and changes in
plans, the dormitory rooms at Southern
College will be connected to a new

The primary reason for the change is
^osi ■ in the next year, we expect a rate
increase on the current lines that would
cost over $6,000 per year. Other increases
may also apply. With over 500 lines in
dormitory rooms, even a small increase
per Ime would cost a lot of money. They
system we are purchasing will actually
cost a little less than we are now paying
- and reduce dramatically the effects of

The new telephone system will be a
medium-size PBX, a Mitel SX-2000. This
system was selected after the college
reviewed bids from about ten vendors,
ihe system will be instaUed in Wright
"au, in a room which akeady has wires
eo'ng to all our dormitory i
There will be

■ changes for

students. But most importantly, we are
not changing telephone numbers - with
one exception. Dial-A-Menu will be
changing to 2399. Girls in the Thatcher
Annex will receive "standard" numbers
(238-24'room number) instead of the
randomly-assigned numbers they now

We will be changing the way students
dial numbers. Presently, we have to dial
238-whatever. With the new system we
will only dial the last four digits.

Offices can also be dialed with four
digits - just add "2" to the beginning of
the 3-digit extension number.

We have not fuUy determined what
new features students will have. One that
is certain is Call Transfer. If someone
calls your roommate and you know he is
down the hall in room 238, you just flick
the receiver hookswitch and dial 3238,
then hang up. The call will be sent to the
number you dialed.

short code to redial a number you dialed
previously). Privacy (to protect modems
from intrusion by other tones), and
Camp On (so you will be connected with
somebody when they finish a
conversation).

One feature students will not have is
Call Forwarding. Although it might seem
marvelously convenient to be able to for-
ward your calls when you are visiting a
friend, it would be too easy for people to
have their calls forwarded to someone
who didn't want them (because, for in-
stance, they preferred to sleep at night).

We are currently researching the
possibility of access to numbers outside
the college. It is very hkely that students
will have unlimited access to all
238-numbers. It is somewhat likely that
students will have access (limited to a cer-
tain number of conversations at a time).

There is even a possibility that students
may be able to use their parents' credit
cards to make long-distance calls from
their rooms.

Why is all this so unsure? The issues
have not been negotiated with the
telephone company. The reason for this
is that we don't know which company to
negotiate with. Our telephone company
is currently negotiating with another com-
pany with a view toward a sale of their
operations in this area. There has been at
least one article in a Chattanooga
newspaper about the sale, but the
telephone company is not commenting on
the issue at present.

When will the changeover occur? We
do not have firm dates from the
telephone system vendor or the telephone
company as yet, but current estimates call
for late January to early February.

The Truth About T^U7H~

By Mark Bond

"Have you heard about the great
Messiah?" WeU, if you've heard StiU The
Truth, the dynamic new album by the
group whose name is also Truth, you
have. 5//// The Truth is an album which
is full of life and message, hope and
understanding.

Truth has been traveling together for
over 20 years. Their reputation for
creating excellent Christian music is se-
cond to none. As a group, their formal
is similar to that of the Heritage Singers
in that they have four female vocalists
and four male vocalists. They also rely
extensively on keyboards and syn-
thesizers, bass and guitar; this is where

credible brass section. Also included in
their ten-person band is a sax-
ophone/flute player. All of these are
combined to bring forth a knock-out
combination of intensely sweet vocal har-
monies along with the power of a
Chicago type band.

Truth'snew a.lbum,Still The Truth,
grabs you from the start with the first cut
on the first side, "What Can I Do" which
asks God what we can do to help bring
our friends who don't know God to Him.
"I'll Remember You To The Father,"
says to a friend who is in need, that he

is earnestly being prayed for.

Truth'stight vocal harmony, which
they are known for, shines bright on
"The Highest Call," and "Lamb of
God." Following suit with Amy Grant's
"Fat Baby," and Sandi Patti's "Face to
Faith," they have included a couple of
songs with a "forties and fifties" flair.
"Do What" is a catchy tune in the 40's
"do-wa, do-wa" style, and "Wonderful
Invention" is an acapeUa 50's style song
which you can't help but snap your
fingers to. These songs clearly show why
Truth is often compared vocally to
Manhattan Transfer.

The first time I saw Truth in concert

was in a little Baptist church in Ocala I
Florida. I didn't know what I was ii
When we got there, the place was
ed from wall to wall. We wound u
ting on the floor in the front row. , „ao
heard one of their albums before but 1
they were even better live than on the
album. Well, three albums and aboui
four or five concerts later, Still The Truth
IS on the shelves. I'm convinced that it's
their best album yet. If you haven'i heard
Truth yet, go down to Lanham's Chris-
tian Music (on Brainerd Rd. by Service
Merchandise) and listen to ihe
demonstration album there. I'm sure
you'll love it!

When I saw her talking to another guy it hurt me. The more I watched the two
of them standing in the afternoon sun, talking and laughing, the more my heart ach-
ed, and my pain, mixed with anger rose. It was like a fire buring inside me. Seeing
her having fun with another guy when it should be me, sparked a blaze that quickly
swept through my entire emotional being. I wanted to be the one she enjoyed spen-
ding time with. I wanted her undivided special attention. Defenses like, "Let her flirt
with everybody, I don't need her anyway," quickly and autonomjcally were raised...

Sharing people is not an easy thing to do. You can share your time, your clolhes.l

A second important factor to all relationships is freedom; God knew this when

it costs $1 1 ,000 to attend Beloit fo a year, and that does not include books! Of course
the only rules at Beloit are academic requirements and the dorms are co-ed. All this

S.C. students generally take their second semester studies very seriously (for the

but I'm not sending my grades home."

Brace yourself for a great spring semester in 1987. It won't be perfect, but you
can't help that. There will be romances that crash, teachers who overwork you, friends

T.V.- There Is An Alternative

I glance ai my watch, it's 5:00 and time for Star Trek. I relax comfortably on the
living room sofa and reach for the remote control. I lay back onto Ihe couch, flip
on the T.V., switch my mind into neutral, and then gaze, hynotized by the television
screen for an hour of space adventure. During a commercial break, J quickly make
a sandwich, grab a glass of milk and settle back to watching Kirk, Spock and Bones

silting before a windowed box being entertained .

Millions of Americans spend at least 4-5 hours a day watching television. These
people sit in their living rooms, almost unaware of any other activity present in Ihe
room. I feel the excess of T.V. viewing described above is unnecessary and a waste
of lime as well as being unproductive. There are numerous activities other than wat-
ching T.V. that a person can do by himself that would be more productive.

To Be, Or Not To Be A Newspaper

Dear Editor:

My school newspaper bothers me. When I think of
what a newspaper should be, the Accent does not seem
to fit. To me, it seems as though we simply have a paper
of opinions here at Southerir. Only one page is devoted
to actual news and the rest turns out to be nothing more
than the romantic opinions of the very few people that
run the so-called "newspaper."

Why can't we branch out and do some real in-depth
journalism? I would like to have a school newspaper that
I could be proud of and show to my friends from other
schools. When I show them an eight page (7 page really,
one page is nothing but a picture) discourse on nothing
but light hearted, superficial philosophy, it's just a little
embarrassing.

Instead of having editorials that read like an Uncle Ar-
thur's bedtime story, maybe we should try dealing with
some real hard-core issues.

I believe it is time that the editorial staff take a critical
look at what it is they're trying to accomplish through
the newspaper,

How To Make A Difference

Dear Editor,

I would like to commend Allan Martin for his letter
to the editor in last week's Southern Accent.

it brought to light the regretful fact that we, the
students, have been neglected in many areas where we
could have possibly provided helpful insight.

But this letter is more than a pat on the back. It is a
request, belter yet, a plea for the students of Southern
College to take an active interest in our school.

Too many times, we assume the passive attitude that
our opinions are insignificant. We must realize that these
individual opinions, when properly channeled, can alert
the faculty of our needs, goals, and desires regarding life
at Southern.

So actually, what is my request? First, I would urge
you, my fellow students, to voice your opinions about
our school through generally accepted methods. Some ex-
amples are: the deans, the Southern Accent, SA officers
and senators. Second, I would ask each student to fre-
quently attempt to say something positive about our
school. You could boast on our great location (just 5
minutes from Wendy's and 15 minutes from "The Bell")
the Anton Heiller organ. Just try and be

A positive attitude can do wonders. Even if it is
January, we can still peer through the rain and catch a
glimpse of the jovial days awaiting in "Summer '87".
So what if you did poorly on an economics quiz. Dr.
Rolfe believes in curving those gems.

Finally, a word of caution; being positive can be con-
tagious. The whole school could be infected with PMA
Mental Attitude), and then what would hap-

light be worth finding o

Kodak Presents China
In Living Color

A team of Kodak photographers
traveled thousands of miles to gather the
panoramic photographs, movies, and in-
terviews for a multimedia travel spec-
tacular called "China-A Journey in Pic-
tures." Southern College is sponsoring
the local premiere Sunday, January 25,
at 8:00 p.m. in the college gymnasium.

The director of the photographic team
describes China as unique. "Because the
culture is so different from our own,
everyday life is full of wonderful
surprises-the kind of surprises that make
great picture possibihties. Photographing
sights like the Great Wall is a thrill," ac-
cording to the director, "but the greatest
challenge is to capture the interesting
details of daily life on film. Those details
add up to a total experience which, we
hope, provides a revealing look at a dif-
ferent way of life."

fascinating country."

In land area, China is larger than the
United States. Their travels exposed the
photo crew to extremes of climate. "We
visisted Harbin, where the temperature
was twenty-six degrees centigrade below
zero. And we traveled in the Yunnan pro-
vince where the climate is subtropical.
Our accomodations varied, too, from
four-star hotels to yurts, which are tent-
like dwellings of the Mongol people."

Wherever the crew traveled to coUea
scenes and stories, it carted some 500
kilos of equipment. Movies are shot with
a 16 mm motion picture camera. The ma-
jority panoramas were taken with larger-
format 120 film size cameras.

The team's director considers the pro-
per lens and film as important tools for
travel photography. "Most often, our
control of the subjects we photograph is

and Julie Stevens make up the Southern
Belles this year.- The traditional Southern
Cents will feature Joe Milhohn, Allan
Valenzuela, Kirk Rogers, and Roger
Moore.

When asked how he feels about the up-
coming show, Ted Evans said, "I'm real-
ly excited about this year. We have had
to practice full team routines every prac-
tice night, so those kids who are doing
seperate small group routines have had
to practice on their own time. I'm very
proud of them because they have work-
ed hard."

CORMORANT FISHING

"There's a tremendous amount of in-
formation in a photograph. One picture
of a city street communicates visual in-
formation about transportation, the ar-
chitecture of surrounding buildings, peo-
ple's physical features, their dress, and
much more. Putting many pictures
together in a multimedia show gives us
a powerful medium for sharing a wide-
ranging view of this immense and

limited. We need to use a lens and a fdm
that give us flexibility. A zoom lens-
allows us to change focal length fast,
without having to change lenses or
change our position. And a 200-speed
film performs well under a variety of
lighting conditions-from bright, sunny
scenics to dimly lit interiors. Our pictures
wil be projected, so we use a slide film-

New requirmenis and the addition of

Along with this change in the program-

mieneski announced a new program just
getting underway. He and Phil Garver,
a teacher in the Physical Education
Department, will be conducting a stress
management workshop for the Chat-

munities service building. The series will
be starting January 29 and will be

for four weeks.

Talks will explain how to deal with
stress, the side effects of stress, and the
audience will be given questionnaires t

their stress levels and how they

The .45 Cal. Approach to a Christian Education

By Brent Van Arsdeli ,

The average American bank robber gels S3,048 in the average American bank rob-
bery. An average commercial robbery will oel the criminal $625 in proceeds, and
the average convenience store robber only gets $347. If the average S.C. student wanted
to work his way through college using a Colt .45 to pay off his average S8,360 bill,
he would have to rob 2.47 banks, 13.31 commercial establishments, or 24.09 Golden
Gallons. When he's caught, he will average twenty years behind bars. No one ever
said getting a college degree was going to be easy.

Working your way (honestly that is) to a Christian education ought to be more
common. Do you know anyone who has worked his way to a Southern College degree
without loans? I don't know of any. Randy White, director of student accounts, knows
one. White says that you can work your way through, but there are "very, very few
people who do it."

It hasn't always been this hard. Working your way used to be the in thing. The
March 1956 issue of The Reader's Digest contained a story about a school that was
then called Southern Missionary CoUege. The article was titled, "College With a Built-
in Pocketbook" and it told about a school that had a very different financial
philosophy than Southern College has today. In 1956, twenty five percent of the
S.(M.}C. students worked their entire way through coUege. This was before the great
bberal age of "free" government monQ-. It was an old fashioned age when you worked
for your college education. Now you borrow for it.

The last thirty years have brought dramatic changes to America. There have also
been a few changes m the Seventh-day Adventist church. Test you knowledge of our
changes in attitudes by taking this mini quiz. Match the author with the quote Who
said, "we should shun debt Uke the plague," and who said, "neither a borrower or
a lender be"? Was it (a)Shakespeare, (b)Solomon, {c)Sister White, (d) Randy White
or (e)None of the above?

Randy While, director of student accounts at S.C. says that there are two rather
distinct groups of student borrowers. One group borrows about S4,000 per year for
a tnrav„chool debt upon graduation of maybe $16,00^. Ajiother group borrows about

a girl who also o

maybe more. School loans can be a serious strain on marital bliss ! Randy White s
the newlyweds "might end up doing nothing but fighting debt," what an unpleasant I
thought. A college degree is a real asset, but "You can't use your diploma fori
collateral." f

A lot of things have happened to S.C. since the Digest editors wrote that "More I
and more educators are casting an appraising eye twoard this unorthodox Souiherr
College." S.C. sold off most of those industries that made it possible to work youi
way through college. Attitudes have changed too. When a student faces a semester
of hard work in the cafeteria washing dishes, he may find it much easier to spend
1 0 minutes in the finance office signing for loans. In addition to loans, if your parents
are poor enough and you're bright enough, you can get a lot of scholarship and grant
(that usually means "free") money. If Uncle Sam offers you money, you'll probably
be glad to get some return from my taxes.

"To pay off an average bill a student would
have to rob 24.09 Golden Gallons."

I asked Randy WUte how a student could work his way through S.C. His response I
was, "They're gomg to have to get busy right away, and find a job -- like through
McKee s." It may be possible to pay for a degree without that kind of job but it
wouldn't be easy. White continued, "1 know a kid who has done it, but he didn't I
dale a lot, he didn't socialize a lot, he worked every time he got. On his days off I
he would get jobs mowing lawns or cutting trees for people. He did not let any grass I
grow under his feet. He'd go out and beat the bushes, and every time somebody had
something for him to do he didn't say, "I have a date, or I'm tired-l've had a busy
week", he got out there and did it and he has worked his way through "

Many students would argue that sociahzing and making Christian friends, is as
much a part of Christian education as class work. Would they be right?

Endowment Endeavors

^hat The College Is Doing

By Lynford Morton

Finances necessary for the c
school come from many sources. One
of the most important places a college
receives money is through gifts. These
gifts, or endowments are sent to the
Development office. The Development
I office invests the money and the earnings
, made available to students through
financial aid. In addidon to receiving pre-
[sent gifts, (gifts available for use right
away) the Development office also
receives deferred gifts or gifts specified
"" be used at a certain time. For an ex-
iple of a deferred gift let's pretend
I , ■'"^ ^^s the unfortunate passing of a lit-
Jlle old lady who we will refer to as Mrs.
jamith. Mrs. Smith lived alone and was
a typical semor citizen. She didn't hve in
I an extravagant house although it was pro-
bably comfortable. She probably spent
I "lany a night knitting by the light of a
Kerosene lamp, peacefully rocking in her
^ntique chair. The heat from the fireplace
warmed both her and the basset-hound
purled at her feet. She had one living
eiative, a niece who left a while back to
80 live m ihe "big city". She was well
■ and Uked by her neighbors and the

community. Almost everyone was
devastated to learn of her death. An even
greater surprise was that in the reading
of her wil it was discovered that Mrs.
Smith left a substantial portion of her
estate to Southern College. Mrs. Smith,
a part of the Southern CoLege communi-
ty, loved her school so much that she in-
cluded it in her will and specified that the
school receive SIOO.OOO; much more than
she left her niece. Since the money was
pledged to the school long before he
death, but could not be used until then.
It was referred to as a "deferred gift".
This example isn't totally fictitious, a
similar situation did occur. Although in-
cidents like that of Mrs. Smith don't hap-
pen every day. it isn't a rarity to have so-
meone donate a large sum of money to
the school.

On the other side of the coin, all con-
tributions are not large donations from
millionaires and little old ladies. A good
bit of the school's endowment comes
from hardworking church members

able

the Union. Members of church
ithin the Southern Union will now I
their donations in titi

envelopes under a special endowment
program sponsored by the Southern
Union called "Project Safe". Pastors and
conference workers within the union who
contribute will have specified amounts
taken out of their checks. Of the monies
donated to Project Safe, Southern Col-
lege will receive half and the union will
get the other half, unless otherwise
specified by the donor. S.C. faculty
members have given and are continuing

The endowment program has also ex-
tended its campaign to the local Chat-
tanooga area from which they hope to
raise SI million. To put this in perspec-
tive, the overall goal of the Development
office is $10 million. Currently the en-
dowment program has $3.3 million in-
vested. The development office, however,
will only use the money generated by the
earnings on the investment. With interest
rates running about 7 to 9 percent, it is
expected that next year approximately

. . . back from the school. As funds
are cut the burden is placed on the en-
dowment program to replace that money.
How does a student take advantage of
these gifts to the school? The money is
disbursed throught the financial aid of-
fice as part of a financial aid package.
Students wishing to cash in on the money
available will have to apply as if they were
applying for financial aid. The school will
disburse the money, as usual, on the basis

Once students have received money
from the endowment program, they are
encouraged to write a thank you note to
the donors. The Development office will
be glad to furnish students with names
and addresses of donors to whom they
can send their thank you notes. Donors
are always appreciative of such gestures
of gratitude and are always anxious to see
where their money is being spent. So if
you should be the recipient of money
from the endowment program, why don't
you take a moment to say thanks.

the wind blew in and the temperature

it was time to put up the nets and dig out

the only one on your team who doesn't

is fast paced fun for everyone. It's time
you put down that biology book and

rid of that Harbrace grammar book and
put things like "swish" and "fade-

the ball, don't try to run around, just
shoot from wherever you're at (this is a

S.A. Elections

2/SOUTHERN ACCENT/February 5, 1987 -

Editorial

Sun, Sand and. .

1 kept trying to convince myself that something was wrong. Somewhere, deep in
my conscience, a small voice was whispering words of warning to me. But the moon
was full, the sky was clear, the stars were out, and romance v/a.% in the air. 1 was
taking a night walk on the beach with a beautiful, young, teen-age beach goddess
that I had just met only hours ago. Somehow she detracted my attention from the
"still small voice" in my conscience and isolated it on her.. ."perfect". ..body.

As we were just coming off the beach, a cool breeze from the ocean swept in and
caused her to cuddle up to me. I had just met Toni that morning and we had spent
the entire day together being spontaneously frivolous. Now, after eight hours of
frolicking beach fun, SI 5 for a gourmet dinner and a romantic moonlit walk on the
beach, like an innocent lamb to the altar she led me to her father's van. I began to
understand that she also wanted to spend the entire night together. Rivers of nervous
sweat began flowing from my body. I felt like an awkward teen-ager at his first high
school dance. 1 had not expected it to go this far! I had not made any prior decisions
as to what 1 would do in this situation and for some reason it was extremely difficult
at that point to think objectively. She opened the van door to reveal a blanket and
pillow neatly placed inside. 1 was at DEFCON-4 an emotional stress level. I had to
make a decision, quick! Would it be Toni or my moral values?...! chose...

Pre-marital sex is something that each of us must decide either to participate in
or abstain from. This decision can be based on.a person's own Christianity, morali-
ty, psychology or a mixture of all three. To make an intelligent decision, the tradi-
tional philosophies and idealogies from the older generation's school of wisdom must
be evaluated and the desires, beliefs and questions of the younger generation must
be reckoned with.

To begin, why would one want to participate in pre-marital sex? It seems like a
pretty obvious question doesn't it? Actually, there are many reasons young Americans
engage in this activity. One reason would be peer pressure. Check out any local high
school, (even some of our own academies) and you will find that the prevalent at-
titude is that if you haven't done it yet your strange. Even here, on our own elevated
collegiate level, intellectual advice such as, "Have you taken her up to Stonehenge
and got it?" flows from the hps of our most distinguished relationship philosophers.
Peer pressure is a very real motivation for pre-marital sex on all levels.

Of course, there is always those kind of people who simply just cannot control
their hormones. You've seen them in the library at the "National Geographic" shelf.
All they ever think or talk about, it seems, are boys or girls, whichever the case may
be, and sex. These people need profesional help and should be placed in Dr. Lamb's
"Marriage and the Family" class. The point is that the controlling, or lack of con-
trolling, one's own urges and desires can be a determining factor of engaging in pre-
marital sex.

A third reason is curiosity. You've heard all these wonderful things from most
of your friends and you would like to discover for yourself what the experience has
to offer. It seems logical that if so many people had a lot of "good" to say about
sex, it can't be all that bad. Beware. Most people, even if they had a bad experience
with pre-marital sex, would not tell you.

There are couples who will say that sex just enhances theu- relationship and brings
the two of them closer together. Admittedly, sex does have an ability to do that, but
at the same time it also has the potential of adding a very sensitive and stressfull

dimension that could eaiUy, in and of itself, brings an end to any relaf

Another dimension of pre-marital sex.is the possible contraction of STDs7se^'
ly Transmitted Diseases). A person who decides to be a sexually active i h- -^ I
must acknowledge to himself that STDs are a high risk that he or she is takinT'
being a sexually active person. STDs are very real, very present, and very abunda
in todays sexual market. Talking honestly and openly about STDs with your narfn
will definitely help you in prevention, and such open conversation can bring you a ri
your partner closer together, ^'^

By now you're probably thinking to yourself, "I know all these things Hadlev
TeU me something I don't know." My purpose here is not to bestow upon you Drn
found insights concerning pre-marital sex. My goal is to remind you of some thin I
that you already know, but maybe have not thought about it very much. It is iniDo^^
tanl that people think about the implications and ramifications of pre-maritalV"
in order to make an intelligent decision~now. If you wait till the situation confront I
you. it is more than likely that you will not be able to think clearly and unbiasW
Do not blindly accept the "if it feels good, do it" philosophy. Evaluate the positive I
and negative effects of pre-marital sex and its social, moral, physical and spiritual
dimensions, then make an intelligent decision for yourself.

S.C. Senate Changes
System Voting

I By Jill Rice

. The SA Senate passed a proposal to

I change the Student Association election

1. process this past week,

I Previously candidates ran on an in-

I dividual basis for each office. This system

of election appeared on the surface to be

efficient but actually contaiined a major

J flaw. Candidates who won in the various

I offices often found thai they had oppos-

I ing views on how they felt the S.A.

I should be run, and they found it difficult

3 work together.

The new system, according to Mike Ex-

m, will consist of a ticket with three in-

I dividuals working together under a

nified platform. The effect will be a bet-

_ -Jr organized and more effective Student

I Association that will spend more time

I working for the students rather than

I against each other.

Some have voiced worry that self-
interest groups may be voted into power.
Exum feels that people will vote in-
telligently and this will not happen. "It
is the voters responsibility to recognize a
fad group." said Exum.

The result that the senate hopes for is
a more visible senate with a greater, more
direct voice. The ruling power should be
the senate according to the Student
Association Constitution.

Presently running for office are Steve
Dobias for President, Mark McFaddin
for Vice President, and Richard Moody
for Social Vice President on one ticket.
On the opposing ticket is Renou Korff for
President, Jimmy Malone for Vice Presi-
dent, and Jodi Larrabee for Social Vice
President.

Gymnastics Team Presents
Half Time Show At U.T.C.

By Jill Rice

On the evening of February 9, the Southern College Gymnastics team will have
the chance to show their skill to probably their biggest audience yet. The gymnastic
team will be one of the acts presented at the halftime show at the U.T.C. versus Ap-
palachian State University basketball game.

The team is looking forward to the show and feel that it will be a great challenge.
"This will be the first lime we have been confined to a designated time space thai
is incredibly short." said Coach Evans. They have exactly 7 minutes to lay out their
mats, do the show, then pack up and get off the floor in time for the game to begin
again. It will take a lot of speed and precision which Evans said is something they
are not used to dealing with.

The performance will consist of the routine usually done as their finale and will
incude the whole team. They hope to be well recieved and are excited about the ex-
tensive publicity they will be receiving and a probable increase in billings.

The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be held at the U.T.C. arena

Pre-Marital Sex

By Phil Carver ^-«». |

It is surprising to see a topic such as this getting ink in our school paper I
Why? Because normally, it is something you just don't talk about or writ I
about. I would agree with that statement if young people were getting a eo ri I
education about sex, human sexuality, the opposite sex, pre-marital sex
traceptives and relationships from their parents. Parents should be the in I
structors in these matters, and some parents are doing a good job. But a lot I
of parents are reluctant or refuse to talk about these very important issues I
with their children. This creates a void of knowledge that is going to get fill-
ed with garbage, and harmful misinformation.

I am happy to see this topic being brought out of the closet! Hopefully
some innocent people will be saved some hurt and some good information
will be shared.
Questions this article will attempt to answer;

1. If pre-marital sex is harmful, why ar

2. What's wrong with pre-marital sex?

3. How can I prevent pre-marital sex?

4. If I've had pre-marital sex, am I doomed?
To answer the first question, it seems that sex is no different that a lot of I

the other don'ts. They all seem to present a challenge to the youth of today.
Why do so many people eat what is bad for them? Why do so many people
use drugs? Why do so many people cheat? The list could go on forever. It
seems that the human's basic deterrent to wrong is fear! This is very sad, but I
true. Humans abstain or change behavior when the fear level gets high enough. [
Why don't humans in the 20th century look at the consequences of alternate J
actions, and choose the proper behavior?

This is a sad commentary on today's society. You would think people would I
learn from other's mistakes, but they don't. It took the fear of pregnancy!
to help prevent pre-marital sex until we got rehable contraception. Herpes I
put enough fear in people to prevent pre and extra-marital sex for a long ti
Fear of AIDS has prevented a lot of homesexual activity. What will it be next? |
Fear of getting caught has always been a deterrent. Fear shouldn't be y
reason to abstain. Hopefully, it will be a choice based on the consequences I
of alternate actions. People are conciously having pre-marital sex because thai I
are selfish and self-centered, because they are today oriented rather than future I
of eternal oriented and because they are choosmg to believe a lot of lies about |
pre-marital sex.

2. So what can be so wrong about a little sex before marriage? The follow-
ing list seems sufficient to give an honest person an way out.

A. It produces guilt! Guilt is one of the devil's greatest tools of discourage- j
ment and hoplessness. Don't place yourself in jeopardy over guilt. It is e
to say "No" to sex than to live with guilt.

B. Fear of getting caught. Married people don't want to get caught having |
sex, so how much more do you think getting caught puts pressure o
pie before marriage? It is easier to say "No" to sex than to worry about get- 1
ting caught.

C. Fear of pregnancy. Yes, I know abortion is a way around this fear, but I
it seems that anyone planning to use abortion to get out of a problem they I
could have and/or should have prevented, has a real problem. It is easier to |
say "No" to sex than to have to deal with an unwanted pregnancy.

D. Women; pre-marital sex is, for the most part, male gratification and |
female exploitation! Guys are usually using the girls and this is bad. Say "No"
so you won't have to wonder if you are being used!

E. Sex is an end for many males. Men will say and do most anything when I
all they want is sex! Put with this the fact that women will put up with a lot I
for security and love, and it becomes quite obvious that this is a very dangerous I
situation. Say "No" and you won't have to worry about the motivating forces! I

F. Females submit hoping to gain favor and security, and usually lose both! I
Say "No" and develop security in other ways. This will make it much easier |
for you to like yourself and live with yourself.

0. Usually responsibility for the consequences isn't available. Responsibility I
for emotional and financial needs for each other and a child, if conception I
were to occur, are rarely found in couples before their mid twenties or after j
they have completed their education and are settled down. Say "No" so your I
education isn't interrupted and you can plan for your future and the future
of your spouse and children.

A Major Malfunction

H. Pre-marital sex may prevent a good sex relationship later in marriage.
How? The old comparision problem. The potiental problems that can arise
from comparing your lover to a previous lover is scarry. Don't place your
future happiness in jeopardy through the possibiUty of comparisions of past,
present, and future! It is much safer to say "No" and never compare!

1. Usually the places that pre-marital sex take place are far from ideal. Say

"No" to pre-marital sex and let you first place for sex be a honey-moon suite!

J. The possibility for contracting a sexually transmitted disease is always

I possible before marriage. The S.T.D.'s of today are scarrier than ever and

I harder to cure. Say "No" to pre-marital sex and help prevent the spread of

I sexually transmitted diseases.

K. Sexually active young people seem togetlabeledandthistypeof reputa-

ion is not positive. A reputation of being loose sexually can haunt a person

I for life. At your 10, 20, and 40 year class reunions, what are people going

to remember you by? A promiscuous little whatever, or a classy, quaUty per-

ion? Say "No" to pre-marital sex and look forward to class reunions.

What's wrong with pre-marital sex? Everything!

3. How can young people today prevent pre-marital sex?

A. Practice saying "No". Plan to say "No". Say "No". One of the best
concepts that I have heard recently is the idea that "'No' is a complete
sentence." When you say "No" to anything whether it be sex, or drugs, or
cheating, you don't have to explain why. In fact, it is best if you don't say

I anything else. Just "No" then there isn't any argument, no reasoning, no
I weakness! Just "No".

B. Plan on being in a group, not alone with your special friend. It's when
I your alone that the temptations are the greatest.

C. Don't read sexy novels! Don't look at sexy movies! Avoid all por-
nography! These things are bad not only before marriage but after marriage
as well. They create a lot of false expectations. They can become addicting

! STAY AWA. :

D. Keep a cose relationship with Christ. Ask for power. Ask tor a strong
I will. You won't be tempted beyond what you can withstand with Christ's
I power. This is a great comfort.

E. Don't wear seductive clothes and then expect people not to want to touch!
[t IS very dangerous to show your wares and expect people not to want to

I handle them! Use discretion. Be modest. Modesty and good taste are
I compatible.

4. If you have made a mistake regarding pre-marital sex that doesn't mean
rou are unclean, lost, or hopeless. All it means is that you made a mistake.
Treat it hke any other serious mistake, ask forgiveness and beUeve that this
mistake has been removed as far from you as the east is from the west. Forget

I It. Move forward. No discussion is necessary with anyone. If you find yourself
needmg to go through this forgiveness process on a regular basis, you may
[ need to seek professional help, or change the relationship.

The major argument in favor of virginity until marriage is this; Love Is
Never For Self.'! If you "love" a person you will always want what is "best"
for them. The "best" thing for single people is to "abstain". If you lovethem
these things will wait! Sex will wait until the I Do's are said in pubUc! Because,
until then, things could change and you could be sorry.
There is no double standard, men! Why should you think you can sleep
I around and some day find a virgin to marry? This attitude has been around
oo long in America. Men and women should both think of then virginity
s being priceless until marriage. Through planning, prayer, and good com-
munication, this can be a reality!

It would be wrong to discuss sex without pointing out that God gave us
our sex d.ives, our sexual desires, and our attraction to the opposite sex. For
tins we should thank God and never feel shame or guilt. But, along with these
aesires Ood also gave humans minds to control their desires. It should be the
goal of each young person to develop a desire and a will to withstand the
temptations that are so powerful and prevalent about us today.

Success breeds confidence and confidence breeds success. Future strength
can be gamed through today's successes. Plan for your success and it can be

8/SOUTHERN ACCENT/ February 5, 1987 -

By Ronald M. Springett

Sex is perennial topic of discussion
these days and that's not bad. Healthy
discussion of sexuality may help us to
understand ourselves as weL as others. It
is a topic of great interest because
everyone knows sometiiing about it, and
people Hke to discuss what they know.
Not only does everyone know about this
topic but everyone experiences sexuality,
though not necessarily sexual intercourse,
and is therefore naturally curious about

In our topic there are two operative
words, sex and marriage. 1 will b^in with
the term "sex." What is sex anyway?
Most people think they know the answer
and, perhaps, therein lies the danger. It's
not what you don't know that will harm
you in this area but what you think you

When we enter the world and see the
hght of day, a phase of sexual develop-
ment begins. We start to develop sex
roles. That is to say, we are differentiated
as masculine or feminine. MascuUnity
and femininity are for the most part
learned social behaviors. In various
societies certain things are expected if one
is mascuUne and certain other things if
one is feminine. Some of this cultural
baggage is helpful in esublishing sexual
identity and some of it is irrelevant.

By the time we reach puberty most of
us are well integrated socially as "boys"
or "girls." Powerful hormones enter the
bloodstream and produce drastic
changes. We need not go into' details, for"
most of us this is history, for some of us
its ancient history.

It is at this lim^ that the learned sex
role and the newly developed sex drive are
integrated. This process sometimes pro-
duces tension and considerable excite-
ment and frustration. Assuming the in-
dividual to be biologically normal, most
of the pressure and tension will be focus-
ed on the culturally learned roles which
define the limits of acceptable mascuhne
and feminine behavior. This learned
behavior should not be underestimated.
It is not easily thrown aside because socie-
ty polices it and exacts "fines" and
"punishments" for infractions. The key
question is how to balance body, mind
and spirit and not allow one aspect to
totally control the others. What we are
trying to say here is that sex is more than
abiological act. It also has psychological,
sociological, cultural, intellectual,
spiritual and personal dimesions which
we can learn to appreciate and enjoy.
These in turn enhance the more physical
aspects of a relationship. In our society
the biological side of sexuality is over-
rated and given too much weight. This
often leads to demands for premarital
sex. A relationship heavily dependent or
ahnost solely relying on the physical
aspect of the sexual relationship is out of
balance and rests on a precarious
foundation,

Now, we tura to the other operative
word m out topic, "marriage." On the
basis of what we have said above it could
be one of two things, a) a piece of cultural
baggage or b) sexual intercourse, a
tJiological act.

For the Christian marriage is much
more than thU. For the Christian couple
sex and marriage give them an opportuni-
to ««cise in the most meaningful way
Zl'T'\ ^^"^ '"^^ Qo'i has given to
[ them, freedom and the ability to pro-

And Now,

create in their own image. The key word
is "freedom." They are free to develop
the marriage and their sexual relationship
as they will, informed by certain
guidelines and principles in God's Word.
This sounds at first as if God gives
freedom and then takes it back. He tells
us we are free and then tells us what to
do. We need to understand that for man
there is no such thing as absolute
freedom. Freedom for man means
freedom of choice. We choose this option
over that option or no option at all. Not
to choose is still a choice. Let's look at
the bibhcal background.

Sex is God given. This means that man
was made for or complementary to
woman and vice versa. Man was made in
the image of God and woman was taken
from man but she is not in man's image.
She also is made in the image of
God. (Gen 1:27) "So God created
man(kind) in his image, in the image of
God he created him; male and female he
created them." This text is saying that it
takes both man and woman to fully
reflect the image of God. Either one
atone does not do this. Man and woman
there would be no mankind. Therefore to
be human is to share humanity with the
opposite sex. But this does not necessarily
mean marriage. Man and woman in sim-
ple communion and fellowship represent
the image of God. We should rid
ourselves of the cultural baggage which
says that man or woman is not fully man
or woman unless they marry or hop into
bed with someone. Both man and woman
were created in the image of God and
they are this without engaging in sexual
activity or participating in procreation.

In the Bible the blessing of procreation
is quite distinct from being made in the
image of God (Gen 2:18,24). This means
that God stands in a relation of freedom
to man as far as sexual expression and
procreation are concerned. Man is free to
express himself sexually and procreate at
will. But he will need to be advised on
how to use this powerful drive so that he
does not destroy himself nor abuse others
and thereby harm and dehumanize the
society in which he lives and on which he
depends. It is vital to understand this in
a discussion of premarital sex. The Bible
leads us to understand that man in his
present state is incapable of using this gift
positively and constructively without
some guidance. What the question really
boils down to is whose advice shall we ac-
cept. We are free to choose, but with
freedom always and inevitably comes the
responsibility to accept the consequences
of our choice. In the biblical context this
responsibility as, what is best for the
other person, commitment to the other
person, what is for God's glory and
honor, which action has the greatest
potential for good, and which has the
greatest potential for harm.

In stark contrast to this good deal of
premarital sex today is entered into on the
unspoken but very real assumption that
this is sex without responsibility or com-
mitment. Both partners engaging in a sort
of mutual exploitation of the other for
the thrill of the moment. This is decidedly
less than Christian and behevers with any
ethical convictions at aU would have to
counsel against it.

In the Bible, God stands over against
His creation. There is a gap between
them. No material continuity. Nature

(Si

- February 5, 1987/SOUTHERN ACCENT/9

Word From

(man) is not part of God neither is God
part of creation. Man obeys God and (he
laws of nature freely-of his own choice.
There is no material necessity which
determines that man has to obey God. As
Jesus said, " — the sun shines on the just
and on the unjust." Nature is not
manipulated by God to make man obey
him. The Bible says that God created man
free-without strings-and endowed him
with the ability to think and choose. It
is in exercising these and other God given
gifts (freely) according to God's will that
brings us closest to our full human po-
tiental and gives the greatest honor and
glory to God^The God of the Bible is all-
mighty too but with a crucial difference.
He chooses to (freely) limit His power
due to ethical and moral considerations
for His creatures. Those who truely
beUeve that He is the God of the universe
will do the same, "Love is of God," "We
love Him because He first loved us,"
"Love one another as I have loved you,"

This brings us back to our main point,
which in my opinion cannot be over-
emphasized. God created us free with
respect to sexual expression. We are free
to have sex or not to have sexual relations
with a person of the opposite sex. We are
free to bring children into the world or
not to bring children into the world.
These experiences neither enhance nor
diminish our status and standing as men
and women in the image of God. If we
make no choice, no problem.

Problems may arise if we decide to do
them. In this case the Christian, like God,
must control the powers he exercises by
means of ethical and moral decisions. We
cannot do anything we hke and suggest
that it is acceptable because it was done
in "love." Because love, like the Golden
Rule, is not much help outside of the
biblical context, it may even be an evil.
If love is allowed to dictate or to discover
its own standards or patterns of conduct
as I see fit, it becomes just what I want
it to be, nothing more nothing less. That
is why the word love in our society has
become a semantic swamp which means
virtually anything. For the Christian, love
is the fulfilling of the law. It is tied to
God's will for us, to the guidance He has
provided. Christian love always operates
in the context of revelation, it is not its
own law nor its own moral monitor.
There is always an outside reference
point. God's will stands over against us
as guidance, but we are still free to choose

That is to say the Christian is one who
has entered a covenant relationship with
God. He sees that God has placed sexual
expression in his power. Sexual conduct
lies squarely in the sphere of human
freedom and responsibihty. A sphere in
which man has freedom and dominion
but within his covenant obligations to
God. Or to put it another way, the
fashion in which man lives his sexuality
is not independent of his covenant rela-
tion to God. This is demonstrated in
numerous Scriptural stories and their out-
comes, eg., Joseph and Potiphar's wife
(Gen. 39), David and Bathsheba (1 Kings
1), Absalom and Tamar (2 Sam 13) the
last item a case of premarital sex,
although more in the nature of "date
rape." All these stories indicate that sex
is not an awesome force over which man
has no control but, on the contrary, show
that he is responsible for his exercise of
this God given gift.

Is preniarital sex wrong? For the Chris-
tian, the short answer has to be yes. The
potiental for harm is much greater than
the potiental for good. This is so for the
simple reason that sexual intercourse is
not just a biological genital act. In 1 Cor.
7:14 Paul says, "-the wife does not rule
over her own body but the husband does;
likewise the husband does not rule over
his body but the wife does." What does
this mean? He gives us a clue in chap.6
vv.l6ff. where he says, "Do not know
that he joins himself to a prostitute
becomes one body with her? For as it is
written, 'The two shall become one.'"
The he continues, "Shun immorality,
every other sin which a man commits is
outside the body; but the immoral man
sins against his own body." Here Paul
shows an insight in to human sexuality
which is exceptional by 1st century A.D.
standards. He insists that sexual inter-
course is an act which by reason of its
very nature, engages and expresses the
whole personality in such a way as to con-
titute a unique mode of self disclosure
and self

Ifw

nication, or sex outside the c
and responsibility of marriage dehvers a
double whammy to the persons so involv-
ed. First of all the Christian considers
himself united to Christ in mind and
spirit, but by illicit sexual relations he
compromises that union and his effec-
tiveness as a Christian influence is jeopar-
dized if not destroyed. King David lost
almost all influence in directing his

childr(

after

rith

Bathsheba. God forgave His son (PF
chap. 71) but did not remove the conse-
quences. (PP chap 72).

Secondly, the individual sins against
himself in the sense that the individual
with whom he has sex is joined with him,
he is one body with her. (The two shall
become one). Paul uses the language of
marriage here although he well recogtiizes
that this is not marriage. The person with
whom we have sexual relations outside of
marriage does not claim over us. The in-
tial sexual union is of such a nature that
even, or perhaps we should say especial-
ly, outside of marriage it lays open to the
partner the most intimate, sensitive and

may be denuded or calloused or scarred
for life. In the sex act outside of marriage
we do commit our intermosi selves our
reputation and all that we stand for into
another persons hands for good or ill,
whether we like it of not. We are not se
free, not so much our own person after
the act as we were before. Anyone who
has been blackmailed by a previous sex
partner whether psychologically or other-
wise can offer convincing testimony to
this. The Christian will avoid premarital
sex because he does not want to play Rus-
sian roulette with his relation with Christ,
nor with the Uves and emotions of others,
nor with the future wife and family.
Freedom is scary, especially when there
are powerful, pleasing and persuasive
forces that tempt and tantalize, we are
free to do as we wish, but we cannot lay
the consequences at God's door of we
have refused to follow his advice. As
Milton said, "None can love freedom
heartily, but good men; the rest love not
freedom, but license.

Mother: "Yes. It is an issue that needs to be dealt with openly."

Do yon bare good commuDlcation with your children about sexual matters?
Doctor: "Fair amoui

Businessman: "I think so. It was belter with my sons rather than my daughter, but
that's typical I think. Sons talk to fathers, daughters talk to mothers. I think if she
would have had a serious problem, like an unwanted pregnancy, I think she would
have come and talked to me."

Where do you think the problem of pre-marital sex starts?

Doctor: "It starts mainly from hormones, but peer pressure plays an important part

Mother: "Where the home is concerned the problem starts when c

ween the parents and children breaks down. It is hard to pin-point exctly when the

problem actually starts because it varies under all different kinds of situations."

Doctor; "Very disappointed."

Mother: "1 would be upset, then I would talk to them and find out why they did
it and tell them how I feel, and then point out what the Bible says on the subject.
This is a hard question to ask any parent because it is an emotional issue, I would
make sure that my son/daughter was careful not to ruin their life."

Businessman: "If it were my son, I would hope that he knows what he is doing. I
hope he understands all the pitfalls and ramifications that pre-marital sex can bring.
Right or wrong, most fathers would react differently if it was their daughter. That
doesn't make it any different in reality, but they do react differently. Most daughters
don't supply that kind of information to their fathers."

Businessman: "First of aU, I think sexual activity is down from ten years ago. Betler|

today's society. This should be emphasized with religious experience."

Mother: "I would tell my son/daughter to read their Bible first and follow H
guidehnes, then make sure that they are aware of all the dangers and responsibilities ■
that are associated with sex. Pre-marital sex is an irreversible act."

Businessman: "I would point out to him the dangers that a boy faces vvith an unhibitrai

Time Out

Will Walker Walk All Over Us?

By Jill Rice

Saturday night, February 7 at 7:30
p.m.. Southern College will play its an-
nual basketball game against the Walker
Correctional Institute, in the Institutes
gymnasium.

Once every year coaches Evans and
Jaecks handpick 8 players from AA
teams to face the challenge that Walker
Institute repeatedly offers us. The correc-
tional facility provides its own officials
for the games and usually wins! "They
are- very good players!", said Jaecks,
"Their officials are top notch!"

The audience is made up of inmates
and guards who are reportedly very en-
thusiastic. This tends to dampen the
Southern College team spirit a bit.

When asked whether or not he is ap-
prehensive about the game, Mike Her-
shberger said "No, I'm excited about go-
ing, it will be a new experience, but I have
a feeling we are going to get crashed,
because they have a lot of time to prac-
tice." Good luck Southern College!

The Cappucino Kid

"I wonder if she knows how beautiful 1 think she is," I was thinking to myself
as I peered over the glass of Cappucino that I held in both hands. "I wonder if she
realizes the effect that her gende, mysterious gaze has on me when I look into her
eyes." I played with everything from my fork to the salt shaker as we talked about
trivial issues of our lives. She laughed when my amazing feat of balancing the salt
shaker on its edge ended in disaster as salt tumbled down and made a small mess.
"What are you thinking?" She asked me. "Here's my chance," I thought to myself .
"I can tell her just how I feel," I wanted to tell her how good it felt to be with her
and how there was this warm feeling she gave me that I had not felt since I could
remember. These words started in my heart, worked their way up my throat and came
out in a brilliant statement, "I was just thinking about how I wish I could speak
Italian. " My insides screamed at " "

Somewhere ii
when she found a place ti
you can remember?" Immediately the emotional dimension of my body screamed
"tell her it's the times you spend with her you insensitive, spineless jellyfish!!" Again,
the words choked up my throat and came out all wrong. "Oh, I can't think of anytime
right off hand." I said. Knowing that she must have been impressed with my deep,
intelligent answer, I wanted to crawl underneath the ash tray. I knew that I probably
would not have another opportunity such as this to express my true feelings. How
often it is that in foolish shyness, we say so little and miss out on so much. I couldn't
help but think about all the opportunities to tell her how much I really cared for
her and how I let them pass by. It was hard; I wanted to just explode with it at times.
Then the religion major came out in me, and I began to think, "This must be how
God feels sometimes." Ail through life, God wants to teU us how much he really
cares for us. Everytime we glance at the Bible or utter a quick, one-sided prayer,
God wants to scream at us about His love. One day, a very special day. He did just

I was in chapel this past Thursday listening to the speeches
given by the hopefuls nmning for next year's S.A. officers. Most
of the speeches were either cute, enthusiastic, or mundane.
However, some of the statements made by Mr. Steve Dobias,
hopeful running for S.A. President, to some extent alarmed me.
It seems that his platform is based on "Bringing a unity among
all the offices, including C.A.R.E." At fu-st glance this may seem
to be a noble effort, but, with a little deeper look, the dangers
of these words come to surface.

To begin with, it seems to me that Mr. Dobias feels that all
the other S.A. offices fall under the control of the Presidency-
constitutionaly speaking, this is not correct. After talking with
some of this year's S.A. officers, it is evident to me, through
their expressions, that Mr. Dobias plans to have a hand in the
running of the other S.A. offices, through i
stipulations placed on the other S.A. offices. There i
dent for this.

If Mr. Dobias has plans of how ihe Memories or the Southern
Accent or any other S,A. office should be handled, then he
should have run for those offices and not expected to be able
to have control of them as S.A. President, it simply does not

Dear Editor:

From reading Mr. Skelton's lelter, 1 find that there are two

work that way.

Each S.A. officer is in control of his own particular office
and holds the responsibilities of that office-success or failure,
it is his own responsibility, not that of the S.A. President. Yoij
must allow for the individuality of ail the S.A. officers to run
then- offices as they see fit, not as the S.A. President sees fit,
he was not elected to their offices.

1 would hate to imagine havuig an S.A. President who tried
to have control in all the offices of S.A. , which seems to be what
Mr. Dobias has in mind when he plans to bring all the offices
into unity under the S.A.

1 know that most of the students here at Southern do not get
very involved in the political aspects of their school. 1 do beUeve,
however, that this election, with the new ticket voting system,
IS one that the students cannot afford to apathetically pass by.
The students need to look beyond the trivial entertainments of-
fered as tokens to the student body into the philosophies ex-
pressed by the DM2 ticket. They are far reaching and have
potential, in my opinion, for damage and demise of student
voice, individuality, and power.

hands, mcluding the final say. An effective leader is one who
IS active m all departments and can justify their actions efficicnUy
and effectively.

Any further questions or suggestions can be addressed to
myself at anytime and anyplace.

also has been gratifying to recieve a
number of congradulatory remarks from
many people from the city of Chat-

glad to see that some of the faculty here
at Southern read the sports section. I have
also appreciated their compliments.
Looking at the total picture I hope the
school is proud of the representation that

New Phone System Finalized

By John Beckett
After several delays we have obuined
commitments from all parties concerned
and have a schedule for the installation
of our new PBX telephone system. It will
be installed during Spring Vacation.
Scheduled "cutover" date is March 4.
Dormitory rooms will be disconnected
beginning March 2, so in some cases they
may be out of service for a couple of

The new system is a Mitel Sx-2000
PBX. This system is on the cutting edge
of technology, and is the first system of
this kind in the Chattanooga area. It will
be installed and serviced by RCA Service ;
Company, which handles telephone j
systems for many motels and hotels
across the country.

This new PBX wiU bring virtually all
telephone service in the college into a
single system, simplifying use for all of
us. Highlights:

1 . Any PBX phone can caU any other
PBX phone by dailing four digits. To call
Thatcher HaU, dial 2'room number. To i
call Talge Hall, dial 3'room number. To
call a room in the Conference Center, add
2400 to the room number. For offices,
precede the old three-c

6. Students will be able to make AT&T
credit card calls from dormitory rooms
by dialing 9'0'number. When the "bong"
is heard, dial the credit card number if
you have true touch tones on your
telephone. If you don't have touch tones
(or if your "touch tone" phone is a fake
as most of the cheap ones are), just wait
a moment and an operator will be on the
line to take your credit card number.

Panel Discusses
Black History

By Jill Rice
Why does Southern College have a
I Black History Week? What purpose does
I It serve? Will it increase or decrease pre-
I judice at our school?

These are some of the many questions

-hat were attempted to be answered at

J 11:00 this morning by a panel of in-

I dividuals who hoped to make the theme

Of Black History Week, "Working

gether,'

ring t:

The panel discussion group was make
up of three students and three non-
students, and was mediated by Elder
Maurice T. Battle. The students includ-
ea tugene Korff. Bob Folkenberg. and
^^A ^"^"- "^he non-students includ-
L '^"f' 3 Meriwether (citizen from col-
TOale). Jeanette Bryson (Dean of

omen), and Elder Peay (the Health and

Temperance leader for the Southern
Union Conference).

The question and answer session was
approximately 40 minutes long and dealt
with the meaning of Black History Week
and its advantages. Questions were
selected from the entries placed into the
question boxes in Talge and Thatcher
halls and the student center on campus.

Larry Williams, professor of Sociology
and co-sponsor with Olson Perry of the
Black Student Club, feels that the panel
discussion will benefit rather than harm
the effechof Black History Week. "A
question aiid answer panel discussion has
the potential of answering questions that
would not be brought up or answered
otherwise."

2. All incoming calls may be dialed
direct. Should a caller dial 238-21 1 1 they
will get the swithboard, and the swit-
chboard will be able to connect the call
to the proper extension (in the case of a
dormitory room, the caller will be asked
to redial the number themselves).

3. The numbering scheme for
telephones in dormitory rooms will be
corrected where it differs from the
scheme outlined above.

4. To dial outside for a local or long-
distance call, dial 9 first. This is the ac-
cess code used in most PBX systems
elsewhere (presently, offices dial 2 to get

5. In the new system students may
make local calls from dormitory rooms.
This capability will be subject to certain
limitations: We may have no more than
1 0 calls to 396-numbers (this does not in-
clude calls dialed from 396-numbers) in
progress at any one time. Additionally,
we may have no more than 5 calls to
Chattanooga numbers at any one time
(again, not including calls dialed from
Chattanooga numbers). Offices and
hallway phones will not be subject to
these limitations, nor do they count in the
quotas mentioned. These quotas will be
handled automatically by the system.

9'0'number and tell the operator that this
is a collect call.

8. Students will not be able to make
long distance calls and charge them to
their statements. The college has no plans
to make this capabihty available.

9- It will no longer be possible for
students to obtain "outside" lines in most
cases. The abihty to dial local calls and
use a credit card for long distance should
take care of this need. We suggest that
all students with outside Unes cancel those
lines effective March 4.

10. The new PBX will have over an
hour of battery power available. This is
to accomodate situations in which Wright
Hall is temporarily without power. We
are considering obtaining a generator for
long-term outages.

11. We will be able to trace many
abusive calls.

12. We will be publishing a revised
campus telephone directory, timed to
coincide with the installation of the new
system. It will use a new typesetting pro-

s that will make i

Lifestyles

New Orleans: The Aftertaste

By Gene Krishingner
Thatcher Hall came alive last Sun-
day as the sounds and smells of a hun-
dred primping women all trying to
look their best, filtered through the
air. The day of the S.A. Sweetheart
Banquet had arrived and by 5:30 that
evening couples started arriving at the
Chattanooga Choo-Choo for a
"Taste of New Orleans." For those
who went it was an occasion they will
never forget; one of simplt
grace, charm, and caji

Comments could be heard like, "I
can't believe she's going with him,"
or "Look, her slip is showing, "as the
events of the Champagne Reception
started flowing. An ice sculpture of
a New Orleans river boat caught im-
mediate attention, while couples
mingled around, laughing and chat-
ting casually. Live background music
provided by the Southern College
String Quartet softened the mood, as

tuxedo and evening dress mingled arm
in arm. An appetizer bar with deep-
fried mushrooms, fresh fruit, im-
ported cheese, and fake champagne,^
added another dimension to the even-
ing and as soon as all the pictures were
taken, the procession moved to the
Imperial Ball Room.

In the ball room, couples seated
themselves in tables of eight, while
Obed and Alexis Cruz played softly
on the piano, setting the mood and
warming the atmosphere. The tables
held a plate of raw vegetables and
herb dip, tossed salad, raspberry
vinegarette, decaffeinated tea and cof-
fee. The main course, which was
unusually good, consisted of Fri-Chic,
dirty rice (with. Creole sauce), cajun
brockley spears, and lemon-mint glaz-
ed carrots. To top it all off,
Mississippi-mud pie was served for
desert. Nobody finished hungry, and

»«".. H„,e ^ M^ ,^^, .,^„„„^ «»/!L,„, „,_,,,„„

soon everyone was wiping tjieir
mouths and kicking back in tlieir
cliairs.

A few of the couples started getting
restless while waiting for everyone to
finish their meal, and snuck off to
isolated place to stare in each
other's eyes. After a short break,
everyone returned to the Ball Room
for the entertainment. Scott, a junior
at Ooltewah High School, did a
hilarious imitation of Michael
Jackson with his side-kick puppet
monkey. People were rolling on the
floor with laughter, as he danced and
twitched around to the speeded up
music. Then he returned to the stage

. Hev

as a stand up comedi
accepted by the audience and most
thought he did a "Marvelous" job.
Not everyone appreciated his wild an-
tics, but even the solemn few had to
chuckle occasionally.

The theatre section of the buildine
remained vacant, except for a few lost
couples who didn't give a care what
else was going on. The movie, "Ym
Can't Take It With You," was held
in the Ball Room instead of the
theatre because of technical dif-
ficulties. (Some say it was because ol
money, but who could prove it)? The
movie was cute, but who was wat-
ching it anyway? Couples cuddled up

by the time the movie was over it was

Finally, back in Thatcher Hall the
couples returned dreamily from their
romantic evening. Kisses were long,
and the deans had to practically pull
people apart to prevent suffocation.
Almost everyone said they really en-
joyed the banquet; some said it was
the best one ever. One said, "It was
a blast, and very elegant." Another
said "I was glad it wasn't all dragged

out like most banquets, i really had
a lot of fun." Most people were also
impressed with the food. Comments
like, "The food was excellent," ex-
caped a few people's mouths. AH
said, it was a superior banquet! When
asked what there favorite thing about
the evening was, someone said, "my
date." I guess that's what really
makes or breaks a good banquet.
Anyway, I know I had a great time,
and I am sure everyone else did also.

Spirit of Indigestion Yet to Come

By Brent Van Arsdell

I'm not just griping. I remember the bad old days at the CK. The Campus
Kitchen was much smaller than it is now, and if the food happened to be good,
the wall paper would make you sick. It was decorated in what people called
"sick aqua blue green" colors. The building improved a lot when it was
renovated back in '83. But the service and cleanliness are still like the old
CK. Some things just don't seem to change.

The gif] who rang my order into the computer at the CK this morning, was
reading the Reader's Digest. She was getting paid to read Drama in Real Life!
In case you were wondering, tables were left uncleaned.

-8/SOUTHERNACCENTyF,K„.„.^. ,j

The dirt at the CK is enough to
make anyone disgusted who is us-
ed to the cleanliness of the average
McDonald's or Taco Bell.

The Campus Kitchen is a generally ...(use your own experience to fill in
a word) place to eat for several reasons. The first reason why the CK is a
marginal food outlet is that the top administrators of the school don't eat
there. I'm not saying that President Sahly, Dr. Allen, Ken Spears, or food
service director Earl Evans have never eaten there, it's just that I've never
seen them there. Besides, if Dr. Sahly misses lunch does he sneak down to
the CK and order a Sam's Chicken sandwich when he could eat at home?
Students don't usually have that option.

The second reason is lack of a profit motive. Should the manager, Mrs.
Weisner, work hard to improve service if it will make absloutely no difference
in what she gets paid. It doesn't matter if students are mad about the food
quality, the dirty floors, great food, and fast service, when you have a vutual
monopoly.

cond year that this has ever been done
and it is destined to be one of the
season's greatest events.

Two games will be played; first, a
Oakwood vs. Southern girls all-sta
will kick of the evening festivities a

test of the playing abilities of c
Southern girls. Following this will be |
a high action thriller of Southern's
best battling Oakwood 's best.

By Brett Hadley

Last Saturday night, the hand pick-
ed elect of Southern College's In-
tramural "AA" league traveled to
Walker County Correctional institute
to battle the inmates there in an all
out, fast-paced basketball game.

The event began at 7:30. Walker
started strong by winning the jump-
off and immediately taking a seven
point lead. Barely into the game the
gallant warriors from Southern were
down 15-8. An onslaught of jump-
shots, rebounds, and fast breaks fill-
ed the first 20 minutes of the game,
and when the buzzer sounded to end
the half, the boys from CoUegedale
had fought back to gain an eleven
point lead.

The second half was as fast and
furious as the fu-st. With both teams
crushing the boards, driving inside
and wrestling underneath it was evi-

dent that both teams intended to take
no prisoners.

Things looked well for CoUegedale
with Mark McKinsey driving hard and
leading the team in scoring with 28*
points. Steve Vogel was not far
behind with his gallant effort of 27
points. Rob Bovell also broke out
against Walker by crushing 22 points
through the hoop for CoUegedale.
With only eight minutes left the
Southern gents found themselves with
a 13 point lead with the score of
86-73.

But alas, all good things must come
to an end, and so it was for the Col-
legedaie teams lead. Somewhere in the
final minutes of the game the tide
turned and washed our Southern boys
out to sea and left Walker high and
dry winning the game 100-95.
Another match, however, is schedul-
ed for March 12.

"Space Odyssey"

By Dana Knecht
A very special afterglow was
presented on Friday, February 6, in
Ihe cafeteria in front of a standing
room only crowd.

This special presentation of
"Space Odyssey" was the brainchild of
afterglow director Kimberiy Dye.
Kimberly began working on the
presentation in January in hopes that it
luld present a very good point to
ise attending.

The skit was centered around

Cheneweth and Paul Scalzo) who, on
an outer space mission discovered
Heaven. There, Celestian (Dan
Shields) and Clariona (Shelley
Whitson) greeted the astronauts and
showed them all the wonderful things
Heaven had to offer. They were then
instructed by Gabriel (Mark Cox) to
go back to earth and tell others what
they would be mission by not
accepting Christ.

"I really liked the play because
it was humorous and yet had a real

'Asironauis" Ed Cheneweth and Paul Scalzo provide spiritual insight

those hstening," responded Kimberly
when asked why she chose to do this
skit. "Peoplejust don't realize what
God really has for them in Heaven."

Hot chocolate was served for
the lucky few who got there early, but
the supply quickly ran out.

"We only planned on about 60
people and the place was packed,"
Kimberiy stated.

Many people were involved in
making the presentation possible.
Participants included: Trina Gentry
(Astronaut's wife), Pat Hawkins
(control tower
voice). Honey Baker

(narrator). Jingle Drapiza (sound
effects), Eduardo Mack (pre-taping),
and Randy Wallers (props). Those
who helped were greatly appreciated.

Bob Folkenberg and May
Orquia were a big help to Kimberly
both in P.R. and just moral support.
A big thanks goes to everyone who
come for making the skit a success.

This is only one of many
planned afterglow activities. They
meet every Friday night following
vespers for singing and fellowship. If
you have never attended afterglow-try

Editorial

The midday sun was shimmering down through gusts of wind that whipped the
flag into a billowing frenzy. As I gaze at the flag Hutlering in the breeze I decide
to skip studying for my New Testament test and venture out into the cold water with
my windsurfer. Once at the iaite I rig my board, the wind almost grabbing the sail
from my grasp as I attept to tighten the mainsheet. I stuff myself into my restraining
wetsuit, drag my surfboard into the frigid water, attach the sail, climb onto the teeter-
ing board, pull up the sail and zip off into the two-foot white caps. The wind pulls
at my sail as I lean my body closer to the water, now my windsurfer accelerates as
if propelled by an outboard motor. 1 strain to keep my hands on the wishbone shaped
boom. My body, now lying only inches from the freezing water, brushes against the
rolling waves that a speedboat has just left in its path. I bend my back and dip my
head into the water only to have the wind drop suddenly dumping me into the icy
abyss. As I climb back onto my board, ihe wind starts up into a full gale and I streak
off, only touching the tops of the myriads of whicecaps enjoying the speed, excite-
ment, and freedom of windsurfing.

To enjoy such a sports as windsurfing, tennis, swimming, raquetball, and a host
of other demanding activities one must be in somewhat good physical shape. But
exercising isn't the only key to being in good physical shape, eating right plays a more
important role than most people think. As the saying goes, "You are what you eat"
and this holds true for the most part. To be as physically fit as one can be, one must
eat the right foods. Staying away from sugar and foods that are high in fat and
cholesterol helps the body to function more efficently. Eating more fruit instead of
cake and candy, drnking water instead of soda pop, not eating eggs, cheese, or but-
ter will help the body to generate more energy to expend into sporting activities.

As 1 see it, eating a healthy diet similar to the one described above is almost im-
possible here on campus. The food that the cafeteria and the Campus Kitchen serve
could be healthier. But since not everyone is health minded, most people would com-
plain if the cafeteria and C.K, stopped serving cheese, eggs, and fried foods. Eating
healthy is a personal choice one most people don't make until it is almost too late.
Hean disease is America's number one killer and if Americans today would eat Uke
they should, this killer would become almost extinct.

Ealing and exercising right creates a healthy longer living body, a body that can
function respectfully in demanding sports, one that can have fun without feeling tired
all the time. Next time you are eadng, think about what you are eating and what
you could do to eat better so you can live a longer more fulfilled life.

Black History Week

Dear Editor:

I am writing in reference to an article in the February 12 issue
of the Southern Accent, "Black History Week at Sr-iithem."
As a student here at Southern College I have a number of
friends that are black. I realize what Ihe school is trying to ac-
complish with this week, but for the following reasons I
disagree with it.

First of all, the theme of this black history week has been
"working together." I do not think a lot of working together
has really been accomplished this week. For the most part the
blacks here on campus have planned and presented this whole
week. 1 think it would have been neat, since the theme was
working together, if the blacks and whites had both planned
and presented the programs for this week, each helping and
supporting the other.

Another aspect of this topic that I disagree with is that, 1
feel by having this week puts and emphasis on the particular
group, therefore segregating them even more so. If we want
to be fare and equal about things, since we had black history
week, why not have hispanic history week, or white history
week, or even one that includes everyone, like American history

Sliced and Diced?

Dear Editor,

Just a note with respect to my article "Pre-marital Sex" which
was published in the Southern Accent Feb. 5, 1987.

This article was solicited for publication by the editor. At that
time it was made known to the editor and his assistant that this
was a sensitive subject and to do justice to it a lengthy article
would be necessary. This was agreed upon and I was informed
that It was "no problem".

I was more than surprised, therefore, when 1 read a badly
mutilated form of my article in the paper. The anicle, as it ap-
peared, cotitains a dozen or more omissions of text ranging from
smgle words, sentences, and paragraphs to an entire section of
some SIX paragraphs which formed the core of the introduction
I his section m which I dealt with two definitions of pre-marital
sex was entirely gutted. Add to this the numerous "tyoos"
throughout and the result is one messy article.

Many of the omissions appear to be accidental. It is hard to

Probably, (he thing that I disagree with most, and the one -
that bothers me the most is the misuse of talent. In the article,
it tells how various balck people have been performing for the
chapels, worships, and church services. Before black history
week we really had not heard a lot of these people perform.
Why should we save them to use only during black history
week? I beheve a lot of talent is being wasted, and that we
should use their talent all through through the year, not just
during black history week.

Even though I disagree with this black history week in some
ways, I have really enjoyed all the programs and messages this
week has given me (especiaUy the sabbath service). This week
has definitely made me stop and think about a lot of things
Thanks!

the meaning of what I wrote.

I am not particularly penurbed that the article was edited or
shortened. But I am saddened by the shoddy and haphazard way
in which it was done. I am loath to think that our readers would
consider this as representative of S.C.

[America's New Discovery, Sandi Patti, to Perform

pandi Patti: To sing March 7 at the Roundhouse.

Sandi Patti, Billboard magazine's 1986
Inspirational Artist of the Year, will per-
form at Chattanooga's UTC Arena on
Saturday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m. The con-
cert is one of 22 to be performed this
spring concluding her 18 month "Let
There Be Praise" Tour.

During December Sandi's towering
soprano voice was heard by millions of
people through her second appearance
with Johnny Carson on "The Tonight
Show" and through a starring role on
NBC's "Christmas in Washington" with
President and Mrs. Reagan.

On February 24 she will perform and
song "Face to Faith" on the Grammy
Awards show in Los Angeles. Producers
for the Grammy Awards show chose the
song from her recently RIAA certified
Gold album " Morning Like This",
which album has been nominated for a
Grammy Award in the category Best
Gospel Performance-Female Album.
Additionally, she was nominated in the
Grammy category of Best Gospel Perfor-
mance Duo or Group for the song "They
Say" sung with Denise Williams.

The mantle in Patti's family room
already resembles a trophy case. The
30-year-oId singer has won two Grammy
Awards and numerous Grammy Nomina-
tions, 13 Gospel Music Dove Awards,

and three Gold Records. Her current
recording. "Morning Like This", is
predicted to reach platinum status within
the year.

Patti is delightfully refreshing in her
approach to people. She just as easily
chuckled with Johnny Carson when she
explained appearing on his show as op-
posed to visiting the vice president
"because Johnny asked first."

That openness and vulnerability draws
concert-goers to Patti like a magnet. On
stage and off, she exudes charm. Her
winsome smile and quick wit cement the
instant rapport she enjoys with her au-
dience, however, it's her classically train-
ed, three octave voice which leaves her
audience in awe.

Having traveled for five years, Patti
moves with great ease from pop-oriented
tunes to ballads to jazz to traditional
hymns to classical.

First Call will be featured in the con-
cert as back-up vocalists while Dick Tun-
ney will assist with keyboards. Tunney
traveled as music director for The Im-
perials prior to joining Patti's tour.

The Chattanooga area Chick-fil-A
Restaurants are sponsoring this concert.
The Atlanta-based restaurant chain will
sponsor other Sandi Patti concerts
around the country this spring.

"Dedication by Candlelight"

By Gordon Hyde

Over the weekend of February 13 and 14, thirteen graduating seniors in
ReHgion were dedicatecl to the work of ministry and thirty sophomores and
transfer students were accepted into the ministerial training program in a
candle-light consecration service conducted in Pierson Chapel of the So-Ju-
Conian Center, Friday evening, with Elder Robert Spangler, Editor of Ministry
magazine, as the speaker.

Religion majors and their families were out in force for the Religion Perspec-
tives weekend, conducted jointly by the Student Ministerial Association and
the Christian Women's Enrichment Association, under the repective spon-
sorships of Dr. Ron Springelt and Mrs. K. R. Davis. The Friday night dedica-
tion service was organized by a faculty committee, under the chairmanship
of Dr. Douglas Bennett, with Drs. Jerry Giadson and Ron Springett associated

Following Elder Spangler's presentation on the unique world and the church
that awaits the prospective Seventh-day Adventist minister today, there was
a roll-call of the candidates for ministry, presented by Dr. Bennett; and a
roll-call of the graduating seniors, presented by Dr. Gordon Hyde, Chair-
man of the Division of Religion.

With the lights of the chapel dimmed, the seniors were called to the rostrum
individually to recieive a candle which they each lighted from one held by
Eider Robert Spangler, one of the asociate directors of the Ministerial Associa-
tion of the General Conference~a man who has encircled the world repeatedly
in the last 25 years in the interests of the growing ministry of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church.

The wives of the four married graduates accompanied their husbands to
the rostrum, where they received both a greeting and white flowers from Mrs.
Gordon Hyde. The white flowers were seen as symbols of purity of life and
as tributes to the heavy contribution which ministerial wives are making now
during the time of training and will also make when their husbands actually

So Close But Yet So Far

By Brett Hadley and David
Notlelson

Those of us who remember last
year's ill-fated game between the
men's teams of Southern College
and Oakwood were less than excited
at the prospect of playing them
again. After losing by over thirty
points the idea of re-hving that
nightmare was looked upon with
about as much favor as a lobotomy.
But hope was in the air, sparked
by the enthusiasm of Coach Steve
Jaecks. With a fire that burned in the
team from Coach Jaeck's desire to
prove to Oakwood that S.C. basket-
ball was strangly competitive, the
S.C. team began the game by taking
the jump ball and putting the first
two points on the board. They were
able to build a small lead but soon
lost it to Oakwood's advantage of
speed. But Jaecks had another plan
besides playing speed ball with
Oakwood and his slower paced game

Where did you get this thing? From aboxofCrackerjacks.'!?"
plan brought our boys back into a
leading position that they maintain-
ed most of the first half.

Southern commanded the boards
on both ends coming up with most
of the re-bounds. It was in the clos-
ing seconds of the first half that the
S.C. team lost theh momentum.
Oakwood caphalized on this oppor-
tunity and drove through one slam
dunk with a following outside fade
away to give themselves a three point
lead as the last seconds ticked off en-
ding the first half Oakwood 36,
Southern 33.

After a rousing challenge of cheers

between both sets of fans the teams

back out on the court for the

second half.

Oakwood commanded most of the |
second half keeping Southern a
with their incredible speed. But I
Southen, though the wind had left I
their sails, never fell beyond a five |
point trail. With nine minutes lefi
play, S.C. fought back to co
within 1 point of Oakwood. It v
late in the second half that Oakwooci I
began suffering from their fast-|^
paced game plan. Southern pi
solid, laid back ball and started I
drawing the fouls and making points I

With only minutes left to play and I
the score still see-sawing back and J

Do We Need Alke-Seltzer or A Burning Stake?

le very close on many of
) theC.K. very often. In-

By Angle Holdsworth
"Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is," or could be, if only the ad-
ministration would. ... So many people come up with problems in the system.
Things get blamed on the administration, the management, the students, the
lack of funds, etc. The list goes on. In any job situation there are problems
that arise in the system no matter how tightly it's run. Some business systems
have more bugs than others. The Campus Kitchen is one of these.

As a long-time employee of the C.K., I feel that maybe I can shed some
further light on the situation, and possibly expel some deep rooted myths.
I started working at the C.K. in January 1985. Those seemed to be the good
ole' days. The workers all got along, the place seemed a Ultle cleaner, a little
more efficient, and a little more popular than it is now. Between then and
now, I've had two summer jobs at Burger King, so I've been somewhat ex-
posed to the real world of fast food.

Brent Van Arsdell, in his article last week, cai
his points. The administration doesn't get down t

side C.K. circles they are referred to as the "people on the hill". Mr. Evans
comes down more than most people think, he just keeps a low profile so that
employees don't put on a special show for him.

The management problem is a httle more complex. It has been turned in-
side out trying to find a solution. The C.K. has one head manager, Mrs. Mary
Wisener {note correct spelling), she is usually at the C.K. from around 7 a.m.
to 2 or 3 p.m. Mrs. Peggy WiUiams is the afternoon supervisor. She comes
in at 1 p.m. and closes the store. The C.K. has two Kitchen supervisors, Mrs.
Dorothy Chapman in the morning, and Mrs. Nadeline Robert in the after-
noon. Linda Mavrokos is also a morning supervisor, but she is on the cash
register, and can't leave that station. The shifts are split into two main time
slots, morning shift and afternoon shift. In most cases, Mary takes care of
the hiring of the morning crew and Peggy does the afternoon, when it comes
around to discipline or termination, the final descision is up to Mary.

If someone on the afternoon shift is a bad worker, Peggy does as much
as she can about the problem, but then she has to turn it over to Mary. If
this person works a shift after Mary goes home, then she isn't really exposed
to the person's work habits, and can't discipline properly. This leads to a person
getting away with things that they shouldn't be, and this rubs off onto other
workers who eventually turn into non-workers.

The solution: Take the afternoon supervisor's word for it, and fu-e the per-
son; or have a store manager that stays later in the afternoon, and hire another
supervisor for the morning shift, that can walk the floors. The manager is
too busy in the office to supervise all the time.

At the beginning of each semester, the C.K. staff attends a combination
staff and orientation meeting. The rules are laid down, and everyone's re-
quired to attend. The students know that they are not supposed to do
homework, read magazines, eat, stand around, etc., when they are on the
clock. Knowledge is not the problem, the problem is follow-up. With plenty
of office work to do, the supervisor is not always around to tell the students
to wash the tables or carry the food out. This is reaUy no excuse, considering
that we are in a college preparing to go out into the real world, we should
have the responsibility to an employer to do the job without being led through
every step.

Solution: a little organization. At Burger King each station has a li t
responsibilities, and they have to be done before the employee can che k °^
This has been tried at the C.K. but doesn't seem to have any back bone VT'
a rush comes in, an order taker can't clean the tables, and by the time a ru h
is over, it's time to go to class. A compromise has to be made somewher?

Another solution: Student supervisors. Some students have worked at th
C.K. long enough to know the place inside and out. At Burger King th
employees were called production leaders. They didn't get paid much'm ^^^
but they had reasonable authority. As it is now, students resent it when anothe'
student suggests that he/she carry out or wash tables, even though it needs
to be done, and the one suggesting can't leave their station.

Brent concluded his quest by saying that things should change, and I hear-
tily agree with him. after, all, I work under these conditions. But most of us
already know the problems, we just need solutions. Do we force Dr. Sahly
to eat at the C.K. three times a day? Do we hog-tie Mr. Evans to a chair in
the dining room? do we burn Mary Wisener at the stake? Do we. .well I
guess I can't get much more facetious than that.

At Burger King, when you are hired you have to sit through hours of Burger

"This little article doesn't cover half of it,
but it gives a little insight. I just want Brent's 1
article to be taken with a grain of salt (or |
two Alke-Seltzers)."

King University training tapes. "Now repeat the six steps in making a whop-
per, then fill in the answers in your workbook." Every sandwich is made the |
same. Mayo, lettuce, two tomatoes on the top, bun and meat patty, cheese,
four pickles, four rings of ketchup, three rings of onions on the bottom. Each I
customer only gets two packets of ketchup unless they request more, and under '
no circumstance do you offer ketchup-keep overhead costs as low as possible.

The only problem with Burger King (other than the food) is that you can't
get an omelette with a choice of four cheeses, or a peach-van. cookie-cinnamon |
shake. You can't get a waffle with half strawberries and whipped crean
the other half peanut butter and applesauce. You can't come in after closing I
and get sodas or chips (This isn't really encouraged at the C.K. either, but |
we have soft hearts in dire needs).

This Uttle article doesn't cover half of it. but it gives a little insight. I just |
want Brent's article to be taken with a grain of salt (or two Alke-Selizers).
These problems in the system have been around ever since the fall of man,
and writing the obvious in the >lccen/ won't change things. Writing your con-
gressman might. . .but I doubt it.

The Bi^ Picture

By Mark Bond

Amongst the myriads of musicians on the Christian market today, Michael
W. Smith stands alone. His new album, "The Big Picture," bears witness
to this fact.

Its message is aimed at the problems that the Christian youth of today must
face. He has taken issues such as teen-age suicide, pre-marital sex, peer
pressure, and feelings of inferiority, and packaged them in a wrapper that
will appeal to the kids of today.

"The Big Picture" stands for the larger view of your life that God has plann-
ed for you. It is represented in the song, "Pursuit of the Dream."
"...As you see the big picture,
Things begin to fall into place, so
Don't bend the rules.
Never forget your roots
As you head for something new.
Ride thru the shades of desire

Letting the light be seen,

And He'll steer the heart in the

Pursuit of the dream."

The album has an upbeat sound that is easy to get hooked on. Michael's

I mastery of synthesized keyboards shines through in the production of the

lalbum. It was produced jointly by Michael Smith and John Pottaker. who

|helped Phil Collins to get the driving sound of "Sesudio."

If your used to th earlier two albums of Michael's; "Project," and "2,"
'ou are in for a surprise, he doesn't include any of the praise songs which
[he is famous for. The "Friends are Friends Forever," sound looks like it has
leen abandoned for the time being.
Michael W. Smith is, by ail means, a musical genius. In the past four years,
I he has written over three-hundred songs, of which, nearly two-hundred have
I been published. He has written for the likes of Amy Grant, Sandi Patti, Bill

-February 19, 1987/SOUTHERN ACCENT/Il

Gaither, The Imperials, Whiteheart, Truth, and many others. His music has
touched the hearts of millions. He received a grammy for the best male gospel
soloist in 1985.

The Big Picture is an album of encouragement that will be played over and
over until it is worn-out. It is on the top of my "favorite" list.

Editorial

All That Glitters Is Not Gold

I'm sure most of us have casually glanced through some of the more popular
magazines and noticed all the colorful eye-catching ads for alcohol and cigaret-
tes. Most of these ads ponray an exotic Hfe style only for those persons who
smoke a certain brand of cigarette or drink a particular alcoholic beverage.
These ads usually picture young healthy people having a great time at the beach,
skiing, or playing outdoors. It would seem, according to these ads, that the
only way to have fun or be athletic is to smoke or drink. After all, as one
cigarette ad says, "Discover where today's smokers are heading." The pic-
ture for this ad portrays two couples landing on a desened beach. What this
ad doesn't show is where these people are actually heading for smoking.
Another two faced ad reads, "Friends are worth Smirnoff." This particular
ad shows three friends at a bar talking and laughing. Who knows, one of
these "Smirnoff friends" could drive home that night and cause an accident.
It doesn'f seem logical to give your friends something that could cause them
to kill themselves or others.

The Salem cigarette ads state that "You've got what it takes. Share the
Spirit, Share the refreshment." Are there some hidden meanings in these in-
nocent sayings? What could they mean by having what it takes? I guess we
all have mouths to insert cigarettes into if we so desire, and yes, we have lungs
to inhale the refreshing smoke. "Share a new adventure," or "Where a man
belongs," are the interesting lines seen on many Camel Filter cigarette adds.
The picture of the man with the curly blonde hair who is either backpacking
in the wilderness or canoeing down the Colorado river is probably familiar
to many of us. I've often wondered what he does with his cigarette butts while
he is in the back country. Surely he saves them in a bag so he can place them
in a proper receptical or burn them in his fire at night. If not, 1 don't think
he belongs in the forests or on the rivers littering them with the unused por-
tion of his cigarette.

The cigarette and alcohol companies have done an impressive job fooling
people into partaking of their products. They use flashy ads with gorgeous
gals and handsome guys to impress the minds of young people. These ads
don't tell the complete story though. The ads only show exciting activities
that most young people participate in. What the ads don't show is the broken
famihes, the hurt parents of the child that has been killed by a drunk driver,
the heart disease, lung cancer, emphazema, an.l all the rest of the side effects
of using alcohol and cigarettes. So the next time you happen to glance through
a magazine and see one of these hypocritical ads, think of the other side of
the picture, the not so pretty side. And remember, what you see is not all
of what you get.

Southern Accent To Be Terminated

Every year the Student Association recieves a budget
appropriation from the college. It is the SA's respon-
sibility to reallocate that budget appropriation to all
the departments of the SA. When the money allocated
to any SA department is finished, that department
ceases to function unless the SA Senate approves fur-
ther funding.

At this point, the budget allocation for the Southern
Accent has expired. The SA senate, in cooperation with
the SA treasurer, have researched ail available sources.

The Hackman Hills

On Monday night, the SA Senate voted I
the publication of the Southern Accent. One final edi-
tion, scheduled to be released at the end of the year
on April 23, will be allowed.

It is the sincere hope of this committee that you have
enjoyed the Southern Accent this year.

Recently I have observed the mounds of dirt in
front of Hackman Hall. 1 have often pondered the
purpose of these earth pimples. So during spring
break, having nothing better to do, I decided to ex-
plore these slopes. ! donned my skis and headed for
the moguls. After a few passes I realized there was
a vital ingredient missing: snow. So, confused and
defeated, I returned to my room. Upon arriving I
sat down to think of other possible functions of these
mounds of dirt. Finally it dawned on me. I grabb-
ed my camera and dashed for the eighth wonder of
the world. Scanning these hills for the entire day,
my hopes were crushed when I realized there was
no sculpture of Dr. Sahly hidden in these works of
art. I went to bed depressed. But never fear, for in
the night I had a dream. In my dream I saw three
btUe mounds eat up the four big mounds, but I soon
realized that his dream was not original. I awoke

with a fresh theory. Quickly I made my way to
Hackman Hall, remembering a rumor of a confiden-
tal experiment in the chemistry department. I con-
sumed a sample of this organic dirt and awaited the
effects. Nothing, not even improved hair growth on
my chest. That evening while watching Godzilla on
T.V., I got another theory. But I quickly realized
that a giant mole invading Collegedale was a little
far fetched. Although my quest for understanding
the purpose of the Hackman Hills ended in defeat,
I now look at them as pieces of art and spend my
evenings endlessly gazing at their beauty. I would
like to thank the grounds department for making
these sacred Indian mounds part of my college
experience.

Rewarding Religions Retreat
At Cohutta Springs

By Joe Osborne

All of you Religion majors plan ahead
for the soon approaching spring retreat
being held on March 27 and 28, at Cohut-
ta Springs Camp. Don't forget your cam-
ping gear! And as always be prepared for
a fantastic weekend retreat!

Dr. Gerarard P. Damsteegt will be the
guest speaker for vespers service. His ser-
mon "Quest for Truth" covers subjects
such as university intellectualism and
revelationT —

The following morning sabbath school
lesson will be held by none other than his
wife. Mrs. Laurel Damsteegt, telling her
story of "The Two Little Missionaries
Standing in a Row."

The Sabbath worship sermon is entitl-
ed "Spotlight on 'The Remnant', is it
Christ Centered: Doctrine Centered?"
Dr. Damsteegt \ -nravel his theory on
ihe subject. Later that evening, he will
journey into the Old Testament times
with his sermon entitled, "Old Testament
Sanctuary Key lo the non-Christian

Included in these weekend activities is
the S.M.A., holding discussions at 2:00
p.m. on Saturday. The subject will be
that of "current" issues in Adventisi

thought,

CWEA will also be holding their discus-
sion at 2:00 p.m. Mrs. Damsteegt will
speak on, "Your thing and His thing."

Plan to attend lunch, supper, and
recreations in between activities.

Interviewing a notable theology stu-
dent on campus who has attended several
Religion Division retreats such as this
one, I asked Mike Fulbright of his full
opinion of such retreats. "Being in an
area such as Cohutta Springs is very
rewarding for such activities. Religion
and nature are intermingled adding to the
atmosphere a greater presence of God. "

Mike went on to say that, "thespeaker
is very much qualified for such a retreat,
his sermons are very rewarding."

Jerry Gladson gave his opinion of the
spring retreat saying that "It would be
very rewarding for anyone to attend, and
I would have to suggest it."

You still have about 2 weeks so be
looking for transportation arrangements.
If you have any questions concerning the
retreat, the religion department will be
more than happy to give the information
you need. Don't forget to plan ahead.
Hope to see you there!

Southern Union Music Festival Brings Academies

By Beth Mills

Ir, case you have been wondering

why there has been a lot of academy kids

on campus lately, it is because the

in the music building, with the exception
of the Festival Band, who will meet in the
P.E. center. On Friday, most of the other
groups will also meet in the P.E. center
since the majority of the performances

Come To The Roatan With Me

By Brent Van Arsdell

There are some formsofinsanity that are onso appealing. They call
from across the seas with a song that makes us do things that are not
"normal." So for spring break '87, I gave up my sanity, picked up
my passport, and headed for the tropical paradise island of Roatan in
Honduras.

It happened like this. I got this notion m my head that I should do
something different for a change than the usual rather self serving spring
break party, or week of relaxing. What better place to do something
for someone else than on the island of Roatan. Roatan is considered
one of the best diving spots in the world. And it was rumored that we
would get to dive on a coral reef. We could definately get a chance
to do a lot of snorkelmg. This would be the perfect trip, service to others
combined with a great place to relax when the work is over.

Honduras is in the tropics, and if that brings up images of white sand-
dy beaches, and coconut palms waving in the breeze, you are right.
Honduras borders Nicaragua, and if that brings up unages of a U.S.
government funded war, "to protect democracy," you are also right.
Fortunately, we were close to beaches and coconuts, not Contras. If
you think that an island might be the ideal place to start a romance,

The BARGE wasn't too bad if you had the ability to ignore the signals I
you got from your five senses. It was like staying in the sleaziest hotel |
you can imagine. There were roaches bigger than 1 have evei
Talge Hall. The windows were broken or non existent, and I w(
about the bathroom. But we slept like rocks, and we'd sleep e
ter before the week was over.

Sunday the construction began in earnest. There were no blueprints I
for this construction project. We were simply trying to build the addi-"
tion to the school from the mind of one of the construction "experts"
that had come with another school group.

Two HondaraD children: "All right, just hurry up get it over with."

-March 19. 1987/SOUTHERN ACCENT/5

The project moved along fairly smoothly with only a few people col-
lapsing from the heat, or getting severely sunburned. A few people had y (i
minor injuries from stepping on nails, or other hazards of the construc-
tion site.

Sunday and Monday we snorkeled a coral reef in the afternoon. It
was a great experience. Tuesday it began to rain, but in the afternoon ■
a group again, went snorkling. Wednesday the rain got serious, and
the pictures that Alan Hyde saw on his satellite TV showed that it might
last all week. It did. Work progressed between showers until Friday.
Sabbath afternoon the clouds cleared off and we had a beautiful day.

I didn't have an "exciting and fun" vacation in Honduras, but I still
recommend it to anyone. There is simply something very worthwhile ||
in doing something good for someone who can't possibly repay you.
It is an incredibly good thing for a college student to realize that there
is more to the third world than his 19 inch color TV screen shows. Some
of the people from our group were sad to leave and wanted to stay.
Most of us were glad to head home, but all of us were glad we had gone.

In the final analysis, it is a lot more important to share of yourself
than just to give mission offerings. A poet once said, ' 'It's not in what
you give, but what you share, for the gift without the giver is bare."
Sixteen Southern College students got "missionary tans" in Honduras,
and sixteen S.C. students were glad they went.

Collegedale Contraband

By Jack Daniels , , _,

Yeah, thats right, I drink... and I'm not ashamed to say so. There
are those who like to lip the glass of alcohol but are ashamed or em-
barassed to admit it. But then there are people, like myself and my
friends, who are not hypocritical about our personal habits. When so-
meone asks me about drinking I'm willing, to talk openly about the
subject. I don't go around secretly hiding my personal lifestyle so no
one will know what goes on behind closed doors, and all of Happy
Valley can pretend that Southern College is free of drugs and alcohol.
I honestly think that people around Collegedale, both faculty and
residents, have made drinking, in their own minds, such a satanic evil
that they are too afraid to admit that it actually happens here in Hap-
py Valley. Then, they mask their fear in the form of apathy. Well, it
does happen and it is not the satanic evil you may think it is. Just because
a person drinks does not mean he is an alcoholic or a drunk. To quote
a respected Adventist authority, "all things in moderation." This is
my approach to drinking and my approach to life. The reasons I drink
are, I believe, legitimate and not too different from the reasons people
choose to participate in other supposedly "cleaner" activities.

First of all. It's fun. When a few my friends and I get together to
relax, get away from the socied pressures of hfe and drink a few beers,
it's fim. With good friends, good food, and a little music it's like the
commercial says, "It doesn't get any better than this." Admit it, with
teachers throwing tests at you left and right, a school bill that resembles
the national debt, and the social hfe of a cactus plant, the pressures
of life are enough to drive anyone crazy! Drinking allows me to escape,
for a little while, the constant agony of life. This is not necessarily bad
because we all Uke to escape in different ways.. .drinking just happens
to be mine.

Secondly, there are times that I like to be a little more uninhibited \
than I usually am. All of us would sometimes like to break out of o
inhabitions. Picture this: Your're sitting in a restaurant, all alone at I
a table for four, sipping on a Coke (caffiene-free of course). Across
the room, through the smoke filled air, your eyes catch the radiance
of a beautiful, young woman who is also sitting by herself. Your deepest |
desire is to nonchalantly stroll over and say something clever like,
"Don't I know you from a previous life?" But, due to your own in^
habitions, you will probably continue drinking your Coke alone in your I
corner watching her from a distance, while she walks out on the arm
of some Tarzan. If, however, you had a little rum mixed with your |
Coke, you could have a little help in surmounting your inhabitions and
enter into a whole new dimension of a social life; You too can be a
Tarzan. Drinking can occasionally help you overcome some of the short-
comings of your personality and allow you to be more open. It unleashes
your alter-ego and lets you do things that, usually, you could not do.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not tryng to justify drinking and I
don't think that it's necessarily right for everybody. I do believe,
however, that people who do drink should not be shunned by our sub- i
cultural Adventist society. Just because my habit happens to be drink-
ing instead of eating junk food does that mean I should become a social ,
outcast?

Everybody has their own Httle intemperate activities that they occa-
sionally enjoy indulging in for reasons that are not too different from
my own. Occasionally it's O.K. to indulge in self a little. But, like
said, ail things in moderation. Yeah, I drink, and I'm not ashamed to
say so.

ind Justice For All. . .

By Jannette Bryson

I The telephone rang. An officer from probate court was calling from
^troit, Michigan. She asked, "What punishment would you like given

lan who killed your husband?"
iMy immediate response was, "Aren't there laws?"
■ She replied, "The judge just wants to be sure society is happy."

I I mumbled something about wanting to check on the options and
Ireed to call her back in a few days.

|Happy? She said the judge only wanted society to be happy. Were
nly statistics, members of a faceless society? Were there no laws?
' thoughts went back to the long drive from Columbus, Ohio to
Itroit, Michigan.

age, Edward, came to my mind, along with the question about punish-
ment. Having been in school work for over twenty years, a kaleidoscope
of experiences with students and the use of alcohol passed through my
mind: the young girl in Africa who drank rubbing alcohol, the student
with tear-filled eyes teUing me how he killed his best friend because
he chose to drink and drive, and and the student who came to the house
in the middle of the night with several friends, shouting, "I am Daniel.
My friends and I are going to take over the campus!" Along with the
faces and experiences, the subsequent discipline committees.

Discipline means more than punishment; it involves training,
guidance, modeling, and instruction through the various means of com-
munication available on school campuses. Proverbs 13:24 (KJV) states,
"He that spareth the rod, hateth his son, but he that loveth him
chasteneth him." Dr. Ross Campbell, M.D., a psychiatrist in Chat-
tanooga and author of a book on relationships, points out that the rod
referred to in the bible is the shepherd's rod. The shepherds used the
rod primarily to guide the sheep, to gendy steer them away from danger,
and to block them from going in the wrong direction and then gently

nudge them toward the right direction.

Adventist campuses like the Southern College campus provide the
structure for students to learn of the effects of drinking alcohol and
it is painful to have to dismiss a student for using or possessing alcohol,
but it is to get help from trained agencies that a student is asked to
leave. The horrible reality of blindness from drinking illegal alcohol,
alcoholism, and lost lives are in the mind of a dean when confronted
with drinking.

The "rod" may seem difficult to a new student on an Adventist cam-
pus and doubly rough if it means leaving school, but like the punish-
ment for the man who killed my husband... The telephone rang. The
probation officer was ready for my answer.

"Edward's license should be on probation for two years, he should
be exposed to alcohol education, and be assigned free labor in a com-
munity program to pay back his debt to society." My hope for Ed-
ward was for him to develop self-discipline, to that of the consequences
before drinking and driving, to help him live a healthier life.

Alcohol, Drugs and the College Student

Q0^

By TedHuskins. C.A.B.L. Director
Upon reading the title of this ar-
ticle, you probably think you
know what I'm going to be writing
about. You think it's going to be
the same ole' thing you've heard
in temperance programs since you
were seven: Boring facts such as
alcohol causes cirrhosis of the
liver, blood clots, pancreatitis,
heart failure, kidney failure, and
brain damage on the very first
drink! Or you may expect me to
relate all the horror stories found
in the news papers concerning the
death of celebrities due to
substance abuse such as Elvis
Presley, Don Rodgers, Howard
Hughes, John Belushi, and the
tragic death of Lenny Bias at the
hands of cocaine. However, as I
mentioned before,

you've already heard all of this so
I will endeavor to approach this
problem from a new angle that
you may not have thought about.
Most of us are at the age when
we are starting to get our own cars
and homes, are married, planning
marriage, or at least have though
about it. We aren't mommy and
daddy's little boy or girl anymore,
and with this realization comes a
whole host of responsibilities and
decisions to be made. Will we
become one of the 150 million
Americans who drink? Will we
become a drug abuser as so many
other Americans are, buying over
100 billion dollars worth of illegal
drugs each year, making the illegal
drug business bigger than General
Motors and thus at the top of the
Fortune 500? If you have already
made the choice to use drugs or
drink or are thinking about it there
are some things you should know
that the local temperance man pro-
bably won't tell you, the alcohol
industry won't tell you, and the
pusher definately won't relate to

cliche, "your only going to hurt
yourself. ' ' In the case of substance
abuse you are going to hurt
yourself, but that's the least of
your worries. Because more often
than not it's the innocent party
who suffers injustly and in the
worst way from your weakness.

Let's take your car, the first of
the new responsibilities I mention-
ed. There are over 30,000 alcohol
related deaths on America's
highways each year, a half million
injuries due to drunk drivers, and
several hundred thousand arrests.
A very steep price for having "one
for the road, ' ' or for having an un-
natural "good time" at a party.
Now let's look at the marriage you
someday hope to have. Alcohol in-
creases the chances of miscarriage
ten-fold. Marijuana causes a large
incidence of abnormal sperm cells,
and if the woman smokes mari-
juana the DNA of the egg cell can
be damaged. Therefore, your un-
born child can be severly deform-
ed because of your marijuana
addiction.

It is tremendously unfair, (and
that's an understatement), for a
child, possibly your child if you
smoke marijuana, to have to go
through hfe mentally retarded and
deformed because of your desire
to have a "Uttle harmless fun."

Now lets look at the home you
hope to have. A major cause of
divorce and the major cause of
violence in the home is the use of
drugs and alcohol. Hitting your
spouse, the person you're sup-
posedly in love with, beating your
children, and fmancial ruin are all
a reaUty and should be considered
before you put that needle in your
vein, before you take that drink,
or snort the coke.

But go ahead, after all you will
only be hurting yourself.

Floor Hockey: Skill or Kill?

By Dave Nollelson
The editor and I were looking

for a good story on floor hockey

for the sports section. We had

heard that it was actually a

multidimensional sport that re-
quired talent, not just brute force

as it was rumored. So armed with j':'

pen and paper (and a promise of ;

$20 from Brett for this article) we '

headed for the gymnasium. ;

We stepped inside the door and
what should we find but the object ;
of our search: a floor hockey ;
player in the person of Allen "Side

him why he thought floor hockey
is a skill sport, and a true mans
sport. He grinned an insane grin
and screamed, "Cuz, ME GET
TO BEAT PEOPLE WITH BIG
STICK." And with that he started
slamming his head against the
wall. Brett looked at Allen, then
me, then his watch, and exclaim-
ed, "Oh, hey, I almost forgot. My

fish fixed and I have to be there
for moral support. Later!" Then •''™ 'iuenergardt: '

How wrong I was. At 5:31 the
door flew open, a ref threw a puck
towards the center of the gym and

Then all the players proceeded to
try to tear an opponents face off.
After 10 minutes of utter chaos

It's Not Where You Watch It, But What You Watch

Many years ago, theaters were really noi the most pleasant things to attend. Most
people smoked and drank and didn't have the highest moral standards. In theaters
today, smoking and drinking are not allowed and many families are now attending
theaters for an evening of entertainment. In fact, the cinema has at least one advan-
tage over watching videos at home. Ai home, most people have a 14-24 inch screen
television, while in a movie theater there is a giant screen where characters assume
bigger than life form. But there are some disadvantages to seeing a movie at a theater.
The movies cost more and the popcorn never tastes like moms. Actually, there really
are very few differences between todays movie theater and (he home theater.

The main issue to be addressed today should be what a person watches and not
where. Almost every movie ever shown in the theaters is sooner or later available
on video cassette. These movies, along with hundreds more, are available at the local
video store waiting to be rented for the night. Most of these movies are rated P.G.
(parental guidance suggested forages under 12 or 13) or R (restricted to persons 17
or over.) Many people don't even read what the movie is about before they i
It could be a murder mystery or a horror flick and they won't know until they i
it into their video machine and start watching it. And then, i
they might sit there and watch it not wanting to waste S3.00. When choosing a
video to watch think of who will be seeing it. An important point to consider is, if
watching a certain movie won't make you a better person don't watch it. Some peo-
ple argue that they filter out the bad parts of the movie and only digest the good
clean parts. Do these same people go lo the garbage dump and pick the good food
out and eal it for breakfast every morning? The tainted scenes in a movie are always
there and your mind doesn't shift into neutral when il recognizes a bad word or when
it sees violence.

But videos are not the only source of theater type movies. HBO (Home Box Of-
fice) and many other cable networks show movies of all types and ratings around
the clock making il even easier for a child to switch the T. V. on and watch whatever
he wants. Even without HBO or videos, most movies shown on televis
really apppropriate for Christians to view.

Many Adventists today are too caught up wii
dance. They focus most of their attention on wh'
unaware of what is happening to them by watchii

to watch. Most of us do own video recorders and many more own televisions W
really can't do away with televisions and video machines, but we can decide what
to watch on them and that is the most important factor. As the age old saying goes

Southern College Gym Team: Will present home show Saturday night.

Gymnastics Team
Home Show This
Saturday Night

By Beth Mills

This Saturday evening, April 5, at 8:00
p.m. in the Physical Education Center,
the internationally famous Southern Col-
lege Gymnastics Team will be perform-
ing their annual home show. One other
show will be presented Sunday night,
April 5, for the academy students visiting
heie during College Days.

The twenty-seven members of the gym-
nastics team will be performing fourteen
team routines. Five or six of these will be
presented by the eriiire team. The other
routines will be doubles, triples, and
quads. Coach Evans did not go into any
detail when describing these routines (I
guess it is suppo.«d to be a surprise). Kirk
Rodgers will bring us the only singles
routine. He will be perforr.img a routine
on the blocks.

The Southern College gymnastics team
has travelled all over the Southeast
United States this year. After they have
finished the two home shows, they will
have performed seventeen times.

The team has started something new
this year. This is the first year that the
team has put on shows in local high
schools. Performances were given at
schools as part of an anti-drug team call-
ed "Students Staying Straight."

Ted Evans, who coaches the Southern
College Gymnastics Team says, "I think
this year's show is going to be an exciting
show, because this is a really talented
team we've got. Come early, seats go
fast."

Maximum capacity is expected. Admis-

Historic Performance of
Organ and Orchestra
Concertos Scheduled
at Southern College

A precedent-setting concert of organ
and orchestra concertos will be perform-
ed at 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, April
4, in the CoUegedale Seventh-day Adven-
tist Church.

With guest orchestra memebers from
the Chattanooga Symphony and addi-
tional community musicians, the
Southern College Symphony will swell to
over 100 players. "Festival Prelude for
Organ and Orchestra" by Richard
Strauss will be performed by the sym-

mance in the United States, and it has on-
ly recently been released on recorded disc
in Europe.

Other works to be performed at this
special concert are Handel's "Concerto
No. I for Organ and Strings," "Adagio
for Organ and Strings," by Albinoni, and
the Finale from "Organ Symphony No.
3," by Saint Saens.

WDSI-TV (Channel 61) will be filming
the Uve concert for later broadcast.

In addition to directing the worid-

phony under the direction of Orlo
Gilbert. Judy Glass will be playing the
Anton Heiller Memorial Organ. This
number, never before performed in the
Chattanooga area, was written for the
dedication of the new Vienna Concert
House in 1913 and requires a large
orchestra.

The "Organ Concerto No. 2," by
Joseph Rheinberger, a work yet to be
recorded in the United States, will also be
performed by the orchestra and organ.
This is believed to be its premier perfor-

Dr. William Allen, vice president for
academic administration. "One is to
highlight academic excellence by featur-
ing individuals who are achievers, in-
dividuals who can serve as role models
for our students. Another is lo provide
mind-slrelching for the community
around us."

Southern College Dines
International Style

By David Kim

With the parade of colorful flags from numerous countries, the In-
ternational Club launched its third annual International Extravagan-
za, a banquet comprised of culturally unique entertainments and ex-
otic food from other continents.

This year, oriental foods were served with the theme of the banquet
centering around the song, "Love In Any Language." The evening con-
sisted of a delicately performed Korean Fan dance, an exciting Microne-
sian dance, demonstrations of Caribbean limbo, a candle-light dance
from the Philippines, vivid Haitian folk dance, and other representa-
tions from China, Black Americans, Spain, and the United States. The

Approximately 300 students, faculty, and community residents fill-

the different cultures that exist around the world.

The evening concluded with the introduction of outgoing and incom-

finale, everyone participated in singing the meaningful chorus of the
song, "Love In Any Language."

Century 21 Theater

Sf^^-

> T.oq,

Ate»5,

B^i Gordon Bielz
The man looked very calm and assured as he welcomed us to Century
21 Theater. It was a very high tech looking place and we all quieted
down as he began to speak.

"Welcome to this example of a new generation of theaters. What
we have developed here is the ultimate theater. This state of the art
theater is the result of a quantum leap in technology. We have used
advances in the fields of micro-electric transmission, computer graphic
generation, mapping of the brain and etc.

Some of you may be old enough to remember the theaters back in
the latter part of the twentieth century where they used what they call-
M the 'silver screen' to project pictures on. For us today, that technology

very similar to what was done during the stone-age, drawing pictures

1 the walls of caves.

All theaters of that type have been archaic for many years now One
such theater has been preserved at the Smithsonian and you may have
been there to see what it was like back then. At that time production
of movies was very expensive because a producer of movies had to use
actual people, animals, and props to act out the scenes that he had in
mind. Of course today that is all made obsolete by the Interactive
Tcchmgraphic Mind Imager with which you are already acquainted.

What we have here in Century 21 Theater is the most advanced of
he ITMIs, for it has been integrated with the most powerful of the
lew generation of computers which allows for greater depth of interac-
jvejiewing. But enough of the hype. If everyone would take their seats

With those words each of us moved to seats in the auditorium, the

didn t want to be secured to the seal in such a fashion, but it

was explained to them that without such a secure attachment they might I
hurt themselves or others.

Once each person had their head-set on, we again heard the voice
of our guide. Well we didn't exactly hear his voice we just knew what
he was communicating to us. For now his voice came to us not through
the vibration of sound waves on our ears but through the electrical
magnetic impulses of the ITMl now attached to our heads.

"You are now prepared for a theater experience that you will never I
forget and it will change your life. We encourage you to identify with
one of the characters in the plot. The first five minutes will give >_.
a rundown on the characters and you may choose one of them. After
choosing your character simply say, 'I choose' and then name the |
character."

((

And so, as the experience'
continued, I saved the city
from the evil plans of the
vilUan who held the city|
hostage to threats of a poison-
ed water supply, and in the
process I killed ten
people and. . .

The movie was the basic murder mystery and so I chose to be the j
hero. After the selection of the charact;r, the movie, well not a movie,
but the experience began.

It was incredible. I was not seeing a picture out there in front of me,
but I was there on the street corner in San Francisco. It was like a dream,
but I was awake. The alley was dark beside me and it was cold. The j
wind blew trash down the street. I sensed some menacing thing in the |
alley and ran down the street to get away from it. Breaking for a
ment from the image, I realized the need for the seat belts. I was being I
chased and turning, 1 faced an evil looking man. I lunged at him and
found that the knife in my hand carved a deep hole in his heart and
I felt warm sticky blood all over my hand. Where did that knife come
from? How would I explain all of this? Who am I? And 1 turned and |
ran up the street, heart pounding. And so as the experience continued,
I saved the city from the evil plans of the villain who held the city hostage |
to threats of a poisoned water supply, and in the process 1 killed ten
people and slept with five women.

1 found later that fifteen people had to leave the theater because their
hearts were not able to take the stress. A number of fights between
heroes and villains broke out as people left the theater but they «eK
broken up rapidly by the police.

As 1 left the theater, I walked along the street and I passed a dark
alley, the wind was blowing and I felt a menacing presence...

"How To Survive College

By Brent Van Arsdell
Life is too serious to be taken shortly, so you can't let your studies
interfere with your college education. Of course I'm a graduating senior
who has been here since before you academy seniors were in junior high,
so I'm sure you won't take offense.

There are really only three parts to your college education. In order
of importance they are, social life, food, and academics (which are also
called classes and studies). Now your parents know that the most im-
^ portant partof your stay at Southern College is your sociallife. If you
graduate from here without being engaged or married, your dad will
probably say, "What's wrong with Adventist education?" So guys and
gals, here's how to get together. I am an expert on this subject because
I haven't done it.

First, scrap your traditional ideas about honesty. It's not that you
should lie to your dates, you just shouldn't admit that you are serious-
ly evaluating "Susie" as a possible permanent companion at the mor-
ning Postum table. Next, admit that you aren't perfect, but remember
that there probably isn't any one else out there who is perfect either.
If there is someone, when you find her she will already be married to
an absolute, no good, low down, wimp of a guy who can play " Mary
had a Little Lamb" on a kazoo. If you do happen to find and marry
the perfect woman, at least you know how people will describe you.
The perfect woman doesn't exist, so guys, be realistic about what's
available in Thatcher.

Ladies, you should realize that there are more women in Thatcher
than there are guys in Talge, so we have a little problem of demand
exceeding supply. If you believe in luck, that's great, but a hard work-
ing fairy godmother would come in handy.

The second major crisis in your college experience will be the food.
There are three traditional places to eat at S.C: the Cafeteria, KR's
Place, and the Campus Kitchen which is usually called the CK. Now,
man cannot hve by Cafe, KR's, and CK alone, so you need to learn
how to survive when they are closed or for some reason they make you
nauseated. Moving a stove into your room isn't allowed because of fire
codes, but you can fix many basic dishes with tools you probably have
around your room.

One of my favorites is the grill cheese sandwich made with an iron.
Here's the recipe:

Cover a large textbook with aluminum foil and put it on your sink
for the base. A Survey of Civ. book (you hated the class anyway) is
usually about the right size. Place the book on your sink for use as
the grill. Place the cold bread and cheese on the grill to suit your taste.

If you are using your own iron, cover it with aluminum foil to make I
sure that you don't get cheese on any of your dress shirts. If you are I
using your roommate's iron, this step is not necessary. Preheat your I
iron for three minutes to the "cotton" setting. Make sure the steam |
is off before you begin to "grill" your sandwich. Apply the iron t
the sandwich until the cheese is melted. Then turn the sandwich over I
and grill the other side. Serves one.

Those who are interested in more advanced survival should buy r_
book entitled, "How to Survive College-lOI Recipes for a Popcornl
Popper." Send check or money order for $7.95 to "Survive College,'
P.O. Box 1573, Collegedale TN., 37315. Please allow four to six wee'k|
for delivery.

Last and least, a college student should be concerned about studyl
ing. Unless you are insanely bright, the only way to get A's in college!
is to overstudy. Study every spare minute you have, study i
cafeteria, study in the CK, study at KR's place. If you study hard I
enough, you won't have a social life, and if you study while you are|
eating, you won't notice the food either.

The best way to get good grades is simply to be insanely bright. The I
way to do this is to choose very intelligent parents. If you're i

years/'

a situation to do tliis, you might liave to study a little. This may come |
as a shock to some of you, but study is something that is done with I
books in a room by yourself, not with a date in a dark car. You should I
attempt to absorb the knowledge from the books into your brain. A I
common technique is to read the books ahhough there are other I
methods. A popular alternative is to put the book under your pillow I
and attempt to absorb it directly. This results in very sore necks, and |
has hmited benefit in the classroom.

College freshmen should be familiar with the system of academic ad-
visement. This is where you go on registration day, or before, and I
discuss what you are going to be doing in twenty years with an old per- 1
son who doesn't care what you are going to be doing in twenty years. I
These are generally good people, but they cannot be trusted to plan I
your career for you . Some of them will blindly sign you up for a semester |
of calculus, chemistry, and cooking classes if you let them. Remember,
you have to live with whatever you take, your advisor doesn't.

Enjoy your stay at Southern College like I have. If you follow my I
example, college can be the best six years of your life. Find someone I
to belong to, Uke I haven't. Don't write stories in the Accent about |
the quality of the CK food, Uke I did, and try to make good grades
so you can go to graduate school and be a student forever!

■out the vast opportunities of higher education here at Southern Col-
||ege. . . right.

By the time you start reading this article you will have already been

■greeted, with much fan-fare, by the official college days Welcome

Iwagon. This would be made up of not only those people who were

■dressed up as Southern Gents and Belles, but also the innocent-looking

[older set who resemble sweet grandmothers and grandfathers. These

people are administrators (A-D-M-I-N-I-S-T-R-A-T-O-R-S). They will

i you up with pamphlets containing material on all major fields of

Itudy from "Thermo-nucleic Chemistry" to "Creative Shoe Tying."

duality, these people don't know all there is to know about the

kalities of life for the college student. I, however, am a typical college

tudent who has your best interests at heart. I am here to guide you

. brighter and better understanding of the differences between

tademy life and collegiate life. Stick with me and you'll be O.K.

I The differences between academy and college are many, including

e level of academic opportunity and educational excellence. But let's

trasts between academy food and the collegiate cuisine.

I know what it is Uke in academy cafeterias; a person stands in line
and, with all of his friends, attempts to discern what kind of vegetarian
loaf is hidden underneath six inches of cheese {put there so no one can
tell, until it's too late, what it is they are eating). All the vegetables
are the same color-yellow~the dessert is left over from last year, and
the bread can be used as either food or as shingles for the roof of your
house.

College is different. Here at Southern, you have the choice of three
fine eating establishments to suit your own particular "palatory" needs.
If a good, hearty, multi-dimensional meal is desired, try the main
cafeteria on campus. If you don't want to eat a lot, go to the C.K.;
they are always out of everything. However, if all that is needed is just
a light snack, maybe you should visit K.R.'s Place in the Student Center.
But look for posted hours: Usually it is open only every third month
on the night of a full moon.

Last, but probably foremost in the academy mind, are the differences
concerning social endeavors in college. Let's just take a look at the ad-

Ideal with what really matters-classes, food, and social <
|of which can be enjoyed separately or in desirable combinations.
Probably the first thing that worries the academy mind is how much
nore demanding the academics of college are. Lets face it, in academy
|he level of academics is about equal to the "train-your-puppy" pro-
Jgram at the local pet obedience school. Students are, however, com-
■pelled to at least show up in the classroom by the "go to class or be
|shot" attendance policy that most academies have.

College is different. Here, to get by academically, you must actually
■read the proper textbook and turn your homework in on time (no more
■doing an entire semester of homework the last week of school and tur-
|ning it in graduation weekend). Also, class attendance, while not as
Tstrongly enforced as in academy, does have a direct influence on your
jgrade. You can either attend classes and pass, or skip and fail; it's your
hoice.

After the academic apprehensions have been diffused, the next pro-
pable question in the academy senior's mind is, "How different is the
Jood service at college?" Rest assured there are major culinary con-

vantages of academy social life. . . O.K., now let's look at how dif-
ferent it is in college. Guys, a whole new dimension of social oppor-
tunity lies before you. No more endlessly diaUng number after number
trying to find a date for Saturday night-they call you! That's right,
all you have to do is relax by the phone with a Joker (if you don't know
what a Joker is, just ask any collegiate female sociaUte) and wait for
the offers to pour in. Girls, if there is one thing a collegiate woman
should have it's initiative." Bold"," straightforward", and "daring"
are all adjectives that describe the type of woman which collegiate men
are looking for. When you get to college, do not sit alone in your room
wishing longfuUy for a knight in shining armor to come and take you
away-call him up! College is a place to let your fingers do the walking.
Well, I hope that I have answered at least some of the questions that
academy seniors have about the differences between academy and col-
legiate life. I am sure that there are many other questions about dif-
ferences that need to be addressed, but I'll leave that up to the sweet-
looking grandmothers and grandfathers. Enjoy your visit here at
Southern, and hopefully we'll see you here next year.

Swallowing The Truth About "Jack Daniels"

By Shelly Acevedo . „ ^, . j

Nobody likes a loser, whether financially or socially. The other day

I read an article by a guy who sounds like a real loser, his name is "Jack

Daniels." In the Accent's "Collector's Edition," I read his unabashed

confession that he drank.

I consider "Jack" a loser because he needs the courage of a couple
of drinks to feel comfortable with himself and confident enough to ap-
proach a girl or to ease out a week long build up of stress.
Now we have all been there. We have all felt insecure and shy,

need to admit that, "Yes folks, people here at SC have been knownl
to drink." I can't equate that with condoning drinking. A few drinksC
here and there don't compare with a candy bar between meals and the!
occasional Coke. The effects of alcohol are irreversible and although!
not everybody becomes an "alky," there can be milder forms ofl
addiction.

If you are dependent on alcohol to mellow out from an 18 hour c
load plus 20 hours at McKee's, what will you do when the pressure!

"But perhaps "Jack Daniels" is not as stupid as he sounds!
but is presentmg a clever way of showing us that there are|
no good reasons for drinking."

timorous of even approaching a table in the cafe to ask somebody if
we can sit with them, but part of growing up is facing up to those fears,
not actually losing them. Because after we lose our fear of approaching
that person, there will be the fear of making that presentation, asking
the boss for a raise, or of starting your own business.

There will always be something that puts us on the line. What is im-
portant is that we acknowledge that fear and learn to deal with it. By

an diminish the power it has over us.

I hero does not mean you are fearless (only fools fear

and you have to feed your family, pay the car and meet i

But perhaps "Jack Daniels" is not as stupid as he sounds (if he i:
a real person), but is presenting a clever way of showing us that there I
are no good reasons for drinking (although, if he is real, he is as stupid
as he sounds). Because if a guy needs a couple of drinks under his belt
to relax or to ask a girl out, I don't think it is worth anybody's time
to he around him.

Like a friend of mine said to me the other day, what people envy I
and want most is personahty, and I don't want to be around somebody I
who gets his personality out of a six-pack.

Kanpai of Tokyo: A Dining Experience

Bv Mark A. Bond

CHATTANOOGA - You won't have to go all the way to Japan to
enjoy an authentic Japanese cuisine. Kanpai of Tokyo specializes in
Japanese food prepared right at your table by Japanese chefs making
it a unique alternative to the routine "Saturday evening date."

The thing about eating at Kanpai that is different than your ordinary
restuarant is that you are seated with up to ten people around you. Once
everyone has ordered, the Japanese chef comes to your "table" and
prepares your food right before your eyes. He doesn't merely cook the
meal; he puts on a show. Knives twirl, and spatulas fly, he cuts and
dices the food on the grill. He juggles the salt and pepper shakers to
season the vegetables, and balances the eggs on his spatula before fry-
ing them. His motions flow as he effortlessly manipulates the foods
he prepares.

Kanpai is considered a Japanese "steak" house, which would tend
to discourage many of the vegetarians associated with Southern Col-
lege. However this should not necessarily be the case. Kanpai offers
a vegetarian meal which consists of several entrees served as courses.
The price of the vegetarian meal is $4.75.

The meal begins with tea, the traditional oriental drink. Then you
are presented a bowl of broth, which is very weak and has mushrooms
and onions in it. As you finish the soup, they bring you a house salad
which IS covered with a tasty Japanese mustard dressing.

This is when the chef comes. He prepares zucchini and onions steamed
on the grill. Next, he makes a large portion of fried rice for everyone.
Following the fried rice, comes your main entree. If you order
veg«ar,an, you are served a large helping of Japanese fried mushrooms

Because of the fact that each table seats between eight to ten people
you usually wind-up sharing your table with strangers. Shrimp is in-

ollh'' r' r "' ""''"'" °f '"^ ™™=" -"^^'^ "hey will kindly
omit the shrimp from your meal if you ask.)

After the main dishes have all been prepared, he fixes a heap of fried
bean sprouts. These may take a little getting used-to when you firs' |
try them. They aren't prepared hke I've ever had bean sprouts before,
however they are quite good. This concludes the meal part of your dni-
ner. By this time you should be well on your way to being "stuffed.

To finish off the meal, they bring a bowl of vanilla ice-cream « |
orange sherbert. It is a perfect desert after all the food they bring y<i"j

Like I mentioned before, you are served in groups. I would sugges^
a double, triple, or even a quadruple date if you're planning to go
Kanpai of Tokyo. It would be a lot of fun sharing the experience wi
a group of friends.

Editorial

The Last Hurrah

Here it is, 6:30 on a Tuesday night in i\yQ Accent office, and the grand
pooh-bah of procrastination is just now sitting down to write his final
editorial. My production staff have abandoned their jobs for snacks
at K.R.'s, my editorial staff have left me to go in search of Krispy Kreme
doughnuts, and I fear my typesetters are lost in a world of deep slumber.
All of this on deadline night. . . for some reason, the word "typical"

There are many things that could be said about the Accent in my
final editorial. Indeed, there have been many "firsts" and "never before
done" for the paper this year. But. to be totally honest, the only thing
1 can thmk about is, have we been successful this year?

I'm not real sure what success is. I am, however, understanding more
and more of what it is not. I use to have these intangible notions of
what I thought success was all about. I could picture "Mr. Success"
and his hfestyle of money, recognition, and things like that. This year
as editor has channged my outlook a little.

I hope that success is not measured by recognition. I will not forget
the afternoon I was in the cafeteria eating lunch with friends when a
girl who was somewhat a stranger asked me if I knew who the editor
of the paper was. She thought the editor was some crazy Spanish girl
named after an avocado. . . I just smiled and said I wasn't sure. I do
not believe success is measured by how many people know your name.
If it was, your success in anything would be dependent on other peo-
ple. And people, for the most part, are not very dependable.

I don't think that money has a lot to do with success ehher. If it
did, only rich people would be successful. There are not very many rich
people at Southern although I do believe there are a lot of successful

Southern College's
Captain E.G.
To Retire

By Brett Hadtey

Southern College's own "Captain
E.O" has announced his retirement this
year. E.O. Grundset, teacher of Biology
and other various assorted science classes,
will retire following completion of this
school year.

When asked why he decided to retire
Grundset explained, "I'm retiring
because of the age factor. Also, in my do-
ing so, it will financially benefit the
school," This does not mean, however,
that our campus will cease to be blessed
with the increased knowledge of one of
Southern's favorite teachers. Mr. Grund-
set went on to explain that next year he
will still be teaching a full load. Follow-
ing that, he will begin to teach only one
class per semester, with Ornithology be-
ing one of those classes.

Mr. Grundset came to Southern Mis-
sionary CoUege in the fall of 1957. His
first year teaching was for the academy
science classes only which were, at that
■, being held in Hackman Hall. Since
then, he has had thirty years of teaching
college students all about the natural

There is a long list of accomplishments
behind Mr. Grundset's years of teaching
here. In the sixties and seventies there was
1 big push for environmental education
ind visual aids, such as charts, diagrams,
animals, plants, ect...Mr. Grundset lead
out in developing these areas for the
biology department. He helped to in-

trodui

field

Or-

nithology, Herpetology, and

Ichthyology, to get students back out in-
to field study. One of his bigger ac-
complishments was that of the Florida
field trip that has been enjoyed by Or-
nithology students for years.

In addition to his academic contribu-
tions, Mr.Gnindset has also enhanced the
social aspects of the college. He was one

to initiate the annual Christmas tree
lighting ceremony. "Years ago we used
to have to cut a tree down, drag it in, and
set it in place; but it was worth it. Today
we have a living, growing tree." Also,
have you ever wondered who plays the
evening Christmas music all over campus
a few weeks before Christmas break?
You guessed it, Mr. Grundset. And we
all know he has been the everlasting Santa
Claus for Southern CoLege for the past
twenty-five years.

Along with these seasonal ac-
complishments, Mr. Grundset has also
helped to plan a series of summer social
events for all of us students who have
chosen to pursue higher learning while
getting a tan. He was the one who in-
troduced that crazy week in October
known as Fall Festival. And none of us
are left to wonder when it is time to ad-
just our clocks when Mr. Grundset, the
Ye Old Time Keeper, is there to throw the
midnight time change parties for us.

I asked Professor Grundset what his
fondest memory of Southern was. He
said, "It was when we finally got it work-
ed out to get the Ornithology class to
Florida the first lime and the amazement
on the faces of the students when they
saw all the birds we had just been talk-
ing about in class."

And what is on the schedule for a
retired college science professor? How
about piano lessons? Or bird watching in
places like Northern Sweden, New
Zealand, Peru, Australia, the west coast
of England and the Grand Rio Valley?
And when Mr. Grundset is at home he
said, "I'm going to work on my hobbies;
get my commemorative stamp collection
in order, and work on my glass insulator
collection." One thing is for sure, sitting
still will be the last thing the "Captain
E.O." will be doing.

Student Missionaries

To Be Dedicated

In Friday Night Service

By Joey Osborne

School is almost over and there are
many students who are lost as to which
direction they will be headed for tJiis sum-
mer. But there are also many who do
know which direction they are headed for
this May through August. To name only
a few, did you know that Rodney Grabin-
ski is going to Japan? Sandy Hougsted
is going to PohnPei! Andre' Frederick is
going to Mexico! These are only just a
few students from Southern who are go-
ing overseas this summer. Many others
are going to join Task Force somewhere
in the U.S. Jennifer Wint, for instance,
will be aiding some Indians this summer.
Why are these students doing this? They

We are honored that these students
have decided to serve the Lord in this
way, and we will be holding a collegiate
mission dedication for them at the Friday
night vespers service on April 17.

There will be at least twenty-five
students who will be dedicated, one of
them may be your friend, so show up to
give them your support.
The Collegiale Club and the Student

have made it possible for
each young missionary who will be leav-
ing this summer to receive a gift Bible {a
small token of our support) during the

There will be a candlelighting
ceremony also. This ceremony represents
the transformation from the students
who have returned, to those who are go-
ing out. A dedication song will be sung
in remembrance of these students. Doug
Martin will be the featured speaker for
the dedication service. Mr. Martin held
the Week of Prayer here at Southern Col-
lege a while back and was well accepted.
He is guaranteed to make the audience
laugh; he has a humorous, but effective,
way to get his point across. His ministry
is well known for reaching out to the
young people and capturing tl

After the vespers service there will be
a love feast for those who are being

dedicated.

Candlelight Service
For Nursing Dedication

By Beth Mills

"The Role of a Nurse." This was the
topic of the Spring 1987 Nursing Dedica-
tion. Saturday evening, April 1 1, at 6:00
p.m. in the Collegedale Seventh-day
Adventist Church, twenty-five new nur-
ing students were dedicated to the career
of nursing. The students involved in this
dedication were those students that have
just begun taking the nursing program
this semester. However, these students
are not necessarily members of the
Freshman class. Some are Sophmores,
Juniors, or Seniors; some are even mar-
ried students.

The service included several special
musical numbers. "I Asked The Lord."
was performed by Melinda Sutton, Jean
Johnson, Randy Clark and Philip Mar-
tin with Deborah Shavtik accompanying.
Pearlie Reyes played "Panis Angelicus"
on the fiute. Along with this, Gordon
Bietz. pastor of the Collegedale church,
spoke on being "devoted" in the very im-
portant role of a nur;

of the Gardens, the group that places
Bibles in hotels and hospitals, was pre-
sent at the dedication. He spoke to the
) of nursing students about how ihey

could use the Gideon Bible in the future
as a part of their nursing ministry.

Following one other special music
number, "After Calvary," which was
performed by Cindy Bonney who sang
while playing the guitar, a candlelighting
service was conducted. Katie Lamb, the
Director of the Nursing Division read off
the roster of students, who then stepped
forward and readied their candles. The
class recited together the Nurse's Pledge.
All Registered Nurses and oiher nursing
students present in the audience were in-
vited to stand and repeat the pledge along
with the class.

Finally, to close the service, the hymn
"Lord Who's Love in Humble Service"
was sung. The class instructors are
Dorothy Hooper. Kaihryn Hammond,
and Lola Scoggins.

les the editor have and how extensive is it? When is it justifiable for
e administration to intercede and make decisions concerning the con-
it of the student newspaper? To understand the answers to these ques-
ins, you have to appreciate the different considerations that must be
jiken into account by the editor before an issue is ever taken to press.
First of all, you have to determine what the purpose of the paper
. Basically, the purpose of any newspaper is to be informative. This
;ar, the goal of the Southern Accent was to be "muhi-dimensional."
hat is to say, serve the entire student body by having something in
■he paper for everyone. To be informative through newstories; thought
lirovoking in the topics discussed in the "Issues and Answers" section;
bnd entertaining through pictorals, comics, and feature stories. It is
Important to serve the student body by having something in the paper
Ihat everyone can enjoy. Obviously, not every student will appreciate
Ihe entire contents of the paper, but there should be at least one thing
the paper that each individual can enjoy. To be so "multi-
limensiona!" that every student can find something in the paper for
|hem is the purpose of the Southern Accent.

Along with this, and just as important if not more, is that the stu-
dent newspaper should be the mode for sounding student voice and
ppinion. The Accent should reflect the thoughts and ideas of the stu-
t body. This, above all, must be regarded as the most important
[spect of truly being a student newspaper. Without it, there is no reason

r the existence of the Southern Accent.
J The next consideration is: Who are you going to pubhsh all the
I'multi-dimensionahty" for? Who is your audience? Being a student
laper, obviously your audience is the students; but is that all? The facul-
ty and administration are also a part of Southern College and are in-
cluded in the distribution of the paper. Therefore, as members of the
f oUege community, their thoughts and desires must also be taken into
fonsideration as well as those of the students. Facuhy and students
together comprise the community that the Southern Accent publishes to.

Last to consider is the impact made on individuals outside the col-
lege community. Although the paper is not written for principals,
academy students, pastors, parents, union officials, and alumni, their
influence, stemming from contact with the Southern Accent, is feh on
our campus. Be it right or not, people removed from the college use
the Accent as a measuring tool to evaluate what is happening at Southern
College and what kind of standards are being tolerated here. Though
the Accent is not published to be a P.R. tool, it does, inadvertantly,
become P.R. for the school. This has serious implications on how the
administration views the content of the paper. Right or wrong, this situa-
tion is a reality and must be, and has been, dealt with.

You see, the Accent can give bad impressions to people who are
removed from the campus and do not have a total picture of what is
happening at the college. Their reactions to the paper can have a negative
impact on the school as a whole. This kind of situation must be taken
into consideraton when publishing the student newspaper.

So where is the line of censorship to be drawn? When is it justifiable
for the administration to assume the role of censors?

The Southern Accent, through all of its functions; to be informative,
entertaining, thought provoking, and sounding student voice, is here
and exists for the good of Southern College. It is when more bad than
good may result from publishing an issue that the content of the paper
must come under question. The administration and the editorial staff
must then decide if the contents of the paper is for the good of the
school or not.

The editor, then, has these responsibilities: to serve the student's needs
in the paper as best as he can, to hold the pubUcation of student voice
and opinion in high regard, to take into account the administration's
concerns about possible reverberations due to the influence of the paper,
to pubhsh for the betterment of the school, and to do all this within
the guidelines of being a true student pubUcation.

These responsibihties should be left to the editor. It is his electee) posi-
tion and his duty, to the students and administration, to carry them
out. It is only when the editor fails to fulfill these responsibihties that
the administration should step in and make editorial decisions. We,
as a publication within a private

institution, do not enjoy all the constitutional rights like other publica-
tions. Still, though, it is important for the education and growth of
both the ethtor and newspaper staff, and to promote principal, that
the responsibility of publishing the student newspaper be left in the
hands of the students. Then, and only then, can the statement, "The
Official Student Newspaper of Southern College of Seventh-day Adven-
tist" have true meaning.

Caddyshack Comes
To Collegedale

By Mike Skelton

There you are at the end of an
incredibly long grass field. At your
feet is a small spherical object
about an inch and a half in
diameter. In your hand you hold
a steel rod, not just any steel rod
but a crooked one at that. One
with a rubber grip at one end and
a crooked face at the other. With
this "club" you are about to begin
one of the weirdest practices man
will ever know. Because at the end
of this incredibly long grass field
is a hole (a very small hole, about
5 inches in diameter.) Your task,
nay your mission, is to put that
small spherical object into the
small hole at the other end of the
field.

Think of the I.Q. it takes for so-
meone to hit a small ball with a
crooked stick, and then go after it!
Yet this sport is played every day
by millions of people from every
social level and on every skill level,
from the lowly Paul Bunyan
(never leaves the woods) to the
Sandbaggers (never miss a putt.)
What makes people do this? Is
it some form of religion?
Whatever it is, it prompted several
people from the Collegedale and

nual Collegedale Golf Tourna-
ment. The fact that it was played
the same time as the PGA's
Masters Tournament was no coin-
cidence. COT organizers knew
that people would be hungry for
some "real" golf, so they decided
to compete with the pros for media

coverage. In case you're wonder-
ing, the COT did get some na-
tional news coverage. It seems that
some poor old lady was knocked
cold by one of those small
spherical objects hit by Steve
Jaecks. Police officials are still
looking for Mr. Jaecks. So the
CGT did edge out the Masters in
media coverage.

The CGT won out on winner
recognition also. The winner of the
Masters, Larry Mize, is a relative
unknown. But everyone knows the
team that won the Championship
Flight, Allan Cooper and Son.

The Tournament consisted of
three flights; Championship, First,
and Second. The names of the
winners of the other two flights
were unavailable at this time (I
think they're still in the rough.)
There were also prizes for the top
three finishers in each flight.

All in all, the organizers of the
CGT were very pleased with the
turnout. When asked if the
tourney would be moved to a dif-
ferent date so media coverage
wouldn't be taken from the
Masters, Ted Evens, Tourney
Director said, "What's the
Masters?"

So, keep an eye on the calendar
next year for the Spring version of
the Collegedale Golf Tournament,
and come out and cheer your
favorite team on to victory or em-
barrassment which ever comes
more naturally.

McKnight Wins
Racquetball Tournament

William McKnight defeated Allan
Martin 21-11, 10-21, 12-10 on
March 29 to win the Southern Col-
lege raquetball tournament. The
first game was tied at at 10 when
McKnight went on an 11-1 streak
aided largely by his many service
winners. Martin rebounded in the
second game, winning 21-10, rely-
ing on his power game to over-
come McKnight. A third game to
1 1 (by 2) was necessary. McKnight
spent much of the match, which

waged on for two hours, in the air
and on the floor retrieving Mar-
tin's low shots. McKnight served I
first in game three and, after two J
changes of serve, found himself |
ahead 9-0, as he leaned evei
to his ceiling shots to offset Mar-
tin's power game. But Martin dug
in and inched his way back into it
and took the lead at 10-9.
McKnight fought off a match I
point and got three straight points |
to win the deciding game 12-10.
