I'm  sure  mosi  of  vou  have  s 
asked  this  question,  or  e 
selves.    What  does  motiv 
and  spend  two  to  four  years  here  to  the  tune  ot 
thirty  five  hundred  dollars  or  more  a  year  for 
listeninq  lo  fiundreds  of  hours  ol  lectures,  read- 
ing scores  of  books,  wnlinq  numerous  papers 
and  essays,  studying  countless  evenings,  and 
worrying  over  how  he  is  going  to  combine  what 
is  required  with  what  he  has  lime  and  desire  to 
accomplish? 

To  those  o(  you  who  are  returning  to  college, 
perhaps  you  have  already  decided  what  college 
has  to  offer  you  thai  you  can't  obtain    '""    ■"'"■" 
and  are  content  with  thai.    But  back  t 
guesiion,  what  made  you  come  here  n 
place? 

Traditionally,  men  came  lo  college  lo  get 
education  for  a  job;  women  came  lo  get  the  me 
I'm  sure  you're  all  acquainted  with  the  joke 
about  "S.M.C."  meaning  "Southern  Matrimonial 
Center",  or  heard  ol  the  "hoards"  of  women 
coming  to  get  iheir  "M.R.S."  degree.    I  reiect 
this  generalization.    We're  more  complicated 
ihan  thai. 

Maybe  your  parents  have  strongly  advised 
ihai  college  is  "where  it  is  at",  and  if  you 
wanted  parental  approval  and/or  support,  you'd 
qo  "where  it  is  at"! 

Many  of  you  knew  when  you  vi/alked  through 
these  doors  for  the  first  time  w/hat  you  wanted     . 
out  ot  life,  and  that  college  was  the  only  place 
to  get  it.    Perhaps  some  of  you  hope  to  gain 
social  elevation  or  a  higher  economic  status, 
and  have  been  told  that  the  only  way  to  do  ' 
to  qet  a  college  degree.    "That's  where  the 
money  is,  boy!    You'd  be  a  fool  not  to  qo  into 
anything  else!"    It  this  is  your  major  motivation, 
join  the  crowd  who  are  "rich  and  increased  with 
goods  and  have  need  of  nothing,"  for  you  have 
a  good  chance  of  getting  jusi  that  if  you  keep    « 
ai  it. 

Although  figures  suggest  that  well  over  half 
of  entering  freshmen  have  a  predetermined-^ — 
major,  the  "undecided"  category  outnum- 
bers all  majors  except  nursing.    This  group 
represents  to  me  the  largest  single  reason  a 
young  person  comes  to  college. 

It's  simple,  most  of  us  come  here  because 
we  haven't  anything  belter  lo  do.    We're  sure 
we  want  to  be  happy  and  succeed  in  I  ife,  so  we 
come  to  a  place  that  we  feel  offers  happiness 
and  success  in  exchange  for  a  few  years'  worth 
ol  money  and  time.    Then  we  spend  those  years 
in  frustration  trying  lo  determine  under  what 
label  we  should  consider  ourselves  successful. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  every  student  is  satis- 
lied  with  what  he  gets  here  al  S.M.C,  because 
whatever  ii  is  that  you  want,  whether  it  is  pres- 
tige, money,  a  life  partner,  a  goal  in  life,  a  |ob, 
or  lusl  an  enjoyable  social  lime,  Southern  Mis- 
sionary College  has  ii  for  yuu. 

I'm  not  qomg  lo  say  what  it  is  that  should  be 
your  motivaiion.    You  decide  where  your  prior- 
ities in  lite  are.    Just  don'i  fall  inlo  the  ratrace 
ol  one  young  person  I  know,  who  after  several 
years  ol  searching  and  trying  to  meet  his  prior- 
ities, said  in  disgust,  "I  find  this  all  foolishnes; 
and  chasing  after  the  wind!"

You  may  well  be  experiencing  the 
reality  of  living  with  two  (or  more) 
roomniales.   On  the  other  hand,  you 
may  be  consciously  trying  to  fade 
out  of  the  picture  gracefully,  know- 
ing you're  going  to  be  graduating

pended somewhere  in  between   the 
wide-eyed  freshman  and  the  seasoned 

eran,  but  I'm  convinced  of  this 

;  thing-God  brought  you,  me,  all 
of  ui  here  together  for  a  purpose 
lliis  year. 

I'm  talking  about  a  deeper  pur-

have  done  all  three  of  those  things

with  the  purpose  of  fellowship  and 
true  corporate  Christian  liying. 

There's  something  to  be  said  for  a 
group  of  humans  who  come  and 
live  together,  motivated  by  reasons 
other  than  purely  self-interest;  for 
a  community  of  people  who  think 
and  act  and  move  in  concert,  seek- 
ing to  become  a  blessing  to  others 
and  to  show  them  what  character 
of  the  Infinite,  Personal  God  is  all 

These  ideas  are  embodied  in  the

Student  body  President  John  Cress  was 
present  lo  voice  his  concern  along  with  15 
Talge  residents. 

Mayor  Fred  Fuller  replied  with  a  list 
uf  reasons  why  students  who  already  have 
motor  vehicles  registered  in  other  cities  or 
stales   must  comply  with  the  commission's 
decision. 


According  to  Fuller,  statistics  recorded 
over  the  past  three  years  reveal  that  six 
deaths  and  numerous  accidents  have  occui 
red  along  the  stretch  between  Four  Comers 
and  McKee's  Baking  Company.

Fuller  explained  that  road  improvemen 
are  not  part  of  the  college  expenses.  Mainte- 
nance funds  come  out  of  gasoline  sales  and 
are  turned  over  to  the  state.   Whatever 
money  is  left  will  then  be  handed  back  to 
the  cities  within  that  state. 

Hamilton  County  has  money  for  pro- 
jects like  this,  but  the  decision  to  allocate 
the  aid  was  not  approved.    And  for  the

Sludenl  Ken  West  challenged  the  com- 
mission by  indicating  that  he  is  a  citizen 
of  another  state.  Mayor  Fuller  answered, 
"You  are  now  a  citizen  of  two  places." 
According  to  the  census  bureau.  College- 
dale  dormitory  students  are  citizens  of 
Collegedale,  Tennessee. 

The  mayor  continued  his  defense  by 
describing  the  complications  involved  in 
the  new  road  construction.  Rerouting 
the  stream  to  the  north  side  of  the  rail- 
road tracks  and  relocating  an  eight-inch 
diameter  gas-main  that  is  in  the  area  of 
the  proposed  road  site  are  necessary  be- 
fore the  road  can  be  laid. 

Telephone  and  utilities  companies  will 
begin  the  first  phase  of  the  project  soon 
to  avoid  the  oncoming  winter  months. 
And  by  next  spring  students  and  resi- 
dents of  Collegedale  will  have  a  safer 
road  to  travel  to  and  from  the  college. 

Mike  Bradley,  SMC  student,  asked  the 
city  commission  if  all  other  possible 
sources  of  aid  have  been  investigated. 
Mr.  Fuller  mentioned  Ihe  various  depart- 
ments within  Tennessee  that  help  out  in 
these  projects,  including  possibilities 
that  could  come  from  the  state  capital. 
But  in  iiis  visit  to  Nashville,  only  minor 


changes  were  made  on  the  engineering 

plans.    However,  he  emphasized  that 

college  students  of  Nashville  whose 

homes  are  located  outside  the  city  or 

state  are  required  by  law  to  pay  a  fifteen 

dollar  vehicle  registralion  fee. 

In  answer  to  the  possibility  of  ex- 
tending the  lime  limit  of  this  tax,  Mr. 
Fuller  said.  "When  the  funds  aren't 
needed,  it's  my  aim  lo  do  away  with 
it."  But  if  flood  conditions  arise,  that 
could  give  way  to  extending  the  tax  be- 
yond the  necessary  two-year  period. 

A  protest  was  made  which  suggested 
that  the  students  were  illegally  taxed. 
The  description  in  higher  law  courts 
would  call  it  "taxation  without  repre- 
sentation." 

The  commission  took  the  offensive 
position  by  declaring  that  students  in 
Collegedale  who  arc  employed  while 
having  out-of-state  license  plates  could 
be  subjected  to  the  existing  law  in 
Tennessee  that  says,  "A  vehicle  operator 
must  purchase  Tennessee  plates  if  he 
lives  and  works  in  that  state  for  thirty 
days  or  more."    Up  to  this  time,  officials 
in  Collegedale  have  not  deemed  it  neces- 
sary to  enforce  that  law.    With  that  in 
mind,  the  city  council  settled  the  case.

Foundation  Gives  Grant 


President  Frank  Knittel  hai  rcce 
word  from  the  Kresge  Foundation 
Troy,  Michigan,  that  Southern  Mi 
sionary  College  has  been  awarded 
grant  of  550,000 


ipleiion  of  the  new  Nursing  Educa- 
tion building  on  campus. 

The  grant  proposal  was  presented 
by  SMC's  Director  of  Development, 
Dwighl  S.  Wallack,  al  the  foundation's 
headquarters. 

When  interviewed,  Mr.  Wallack  s 
staled  that  the  Kresge  Foundation  is 
the  "fifth  largest  in  the  United  States 
with  assets  of  three-quarters  of  a 
billion  dollars." 

Kresge's  interests  lie  primarily  in 


education,  and  health.  The  founda- 
tion has  recently  contributed  to  such 
diverse  organizations  as  the  National 
Braille  Institute  and  Ducks  Unlimited, 
as  well  as  toward  the  construction  of 
a  library  at  Andrews  University  and 
the  new  library  on  the  La  Sierra  cam- 
pus of  Loma  Linda  University, 

In  October.  Mr.  Wallack  will  fulfill 
the  obligations  stipulated  by  the 
Kresge  Foundation  when  he  submits 
final  figures  on  the  nursing  building. 
He  will  show  the  actual  costs  and 
finishing  statistics.    Then  the  cash

^^ _.  Road  does  need  improve- 

-rt'v  of  Collegedale  does  need  money. 

andthe  stJdents  of  SMC  do  use  the  road;  but 
still  I  can't  condone  the  wav  the  city  council 
passed  a  registration  fee  which  has  no  firm 
legal  basis. 

According  to  Tennessee  code  6-742  nan- 
residents  can  not  be  charged  a  fee  or  tax  for 
the  privilege  of  using  the  roads. 

Contrary  to  statements  made  at  the  last 
council  meeting,  the  city  of  Collegedale  is 
not  doing  the  students  a  favor  by  not  forcing 
them  to  buy  Tennessee  license  plates.    Some- 
how they  forgot  to  mention  or  didn't  know 
that  according  to  Tennessee  law  full-time 
students  who  are  working  under  40  h"  ■"

poor  taste  out  was  also  a  misjudgement  of  the 
gullibility  of  us  students.    Maybe  we  are  making

But  remember  George  III  misjudged  the 
feelings  of  the  colonists  when  he  imposed 
the  Stamp  Act.    It  was  also  a  means  of 
gaining  badly  needed  revenue,  and  the 
British  couldn't  understand  the  uproar  it 


either.

No  I'm  not  calling  for  ; 
an  organized  boycott.    In  fact,  I  even  suggest 
that  those  dormitory  students  who  aren't 
too  pinched  donate  five  dollars  to  the  city. 
But  remember  that's  what  it  is-a  donation 
and  not  a  legally  binding  tax  you  have  to 
pay. 

On  the  other  hand,  if  you  are  interested 
in  the  city  government,  don't  mind  paying 
the  tax  except  for  the  fact  that  you  had 
no  representative  voice  in  making  the  policy, 
and  would  like  to  vote,  I  suggest  that  you

"Wait  a  minute,"  you  say.    "Students 
aren't  allowed  to  vote.  "    If  you've  been 
taxed,  though,  you've  been  classified  as  a 
resident,  and  residents  can  vote.    According 
to  Glen  McColpin.  the  legal  counsel  for  the 
city  of  Collegedale.  "If  you're  required  to 
have  a  sticker,  you  can  register  and  vote.  " 

This  issue  isn't  settled,  and  I  imagine  it 
won't  be  for  some  time.  Let's  not  have  a 
direct  confrontation  where  nobody  wins, 
but  instead  let's  both  learn  some  lessons. 
For  the  city  commission,  they  need  to  learn 
that  taxation  without  representation  can  not 
and  will  not  be  accepted. 

The  students  need  to  realize  the  problems

Dear  Editor, 

Those  students  having  the  mis 
fortune  of  not  being  on  campus 
this  past  weekend  really  missed 
something. 

This  is  my  third  year  here, 
and  I  believe  that  our  MV  week- 
end this  year  was  the  best  ever. 
Dr.  Knittel  expressed  in  chapel 
on  Thursday  that  he  believed 
we  had  obtained  the  "ultimate" 
in  speakers  in  the  person  of  Dr. 
Heppenstal.    I'm  certain  that 
the  "ultimate"  in  programs  was 
the  Saturday  night  presentation 
of  "We  Have  This  Hope." 

It  was  a  real  thrill  for  me,  as 
part  of  the  audience,  to  become 
involved  with  the  participants 
in  sharing  the  joys,  hopes,  and 
disappointments  of  our  MillerJte 
and  Adventist  ancestors.    It  cer- 
tainly brought  to  life  those 
things  I  had  read  about  and 
studied  in  my  Religion  class  - 
one  which  most  of  you  already 


become  famil- 
iar with  -  "Foundations  of  the 
Advent  Movement." 

I  was  delighted  to  hear  of 
the  plan  to  share  the  program 
with  some  of  our  other  churchK| 
in  the  Southern  Union,  My 
only  regret  is  that  those  outside  | 
of  the  Union  may  never  have 
the  joy  of  experiencing  it. 

We  have  some  fine,  innovativrl 
MV  leaders  this  year,  whom  I 
believe  really  have  the  Holy 
Spirit.    If  this  past  Saturday 
night  was  any  indication  of 
what's  ahead,  I  hope  everyone  I 
will  make  a  special  effort  not 
to  miss  any  of  the  MV  program! 
this  year. 

With  the  "ultimate"  in 
weekends  already  past,  my  onlyl 
question  is,  What  are  we 
to  do  for  next  year? 

With  best  wishes  to  the  MV  | 
staff.

Obituary 


For  most  SMC  students  Ihis  past 
summer  was  a  summer  of  laughter  and 
sunshine,  vacations  and  hard-earned 
money,  and  expectations  for  an  up- 
coming year  filled  wilh  challenges 
and  new  experiences;  but  for  the 
Taylors,  Neuharlhs,  and  Schmehls  it 
was  a  summer  of  tragedy. 
In  Mav  Sieve  Neuharlh  graduated 
from  SMC  with  a  degree  in  secondary 
education  and  accepted  a  call  to  teach 
in  the  Kalamazoo,  Michigan,  school. 
Graduation  also  meant  that  Steve 
could  marry  his  sweetheart,  Sharilyn 
Taylor. 

June  I  was  the  happy  day,  and  after 
the  ceremony  a  very  excited  couple 
left  for  Estcs  Park,  Colorado,  on  their 
honeymoon.  Their  happiness  was  brief, 
though,  for  only  five  and  a  half  days 
later  they  were  both  killed  in  a  car

Tn.  TuHion  Grant 
Still  Not  Dead 

President  Frank  Knittel  attended  a 
special  session  of  the  Tennessee  Council 
of  Private  Colleges  on  September  8,  in 
Nashville,  to  discuss  ways  of  dealing 
with  the  problem  of  the  Tennessee 
Tuition  Grant  not  being  funded  for 
the  1975-76  school  year. 

The  TCPC.  an  organization  of  re- 
presentatives of  all  accredited  private 
junior  colleges,  senior  colleges  and 
universities,  met  to  show  their  ob- 
jection to  Governor  Blanton's  op- 
position of  the  bill  to  refund  the 
Tennessee  Tuition  Grant  for  this 
school  year. 

Blanton  did  not  realize  the  wide 
disapproval  from  both  Democrats  and 
Republicans  on  his  decision,  therefore 
he  may  reverse  his  decision,  which  may 
still  bring  financial  assistance  to  some 
SMC  students  second  semester.

have  fun,  and  enjoy  a  weekend  of 
fellowship  through  uplifting  music.

of  up  to  thirty-five  v 
will  be  selected  from  both  the  Spauld-

seventh,  and  eighth  grades. 

ORCHESTRAL— 

Four  years  ago,  Dr.  Orlo  Gilbert 
began  Spauldin'g  "orchestra"   with 
five  members.   Today,  sixty  musicians, 
ages  four  to  14,  comprise  an  ever-en-

number  of  aspiring  violinists,  two 
individuals  have  been  recently  hired 
to  help  with  private  instruction.

August  30  a(  the  B'nai  Zion  Con- 
gregation in  Chattanooga  six  weavings 
designed  and  made  by  Miss  Ellen 
Zollinger  of  the  SMC  Aft  Department 
were  presented. 

Miss  Zollingei  was  commissioned 
last  year  by  the  decorating  commillee 
of  the  new  Jewish  Synagogue  fo  weave 
a  series  of  wall  hangings  depicting  the 
Exodus. 

The  thematic  thrust  Miss  Zollinger 
chose  was  to  show  through  these 
weavings  that  the  character  of  God 
was  the  same  4,000  years  ago  as  it 
is  today,  that  the  miraculous  dis- 
play of  power  given  to  the  Israel- 
ites has  not  diminished,  and  that 
God  has  always  been  and  will  always 
be  actively  involved  with  His  people. 

Each  of  the  sbc  wall  hangings  is 
a  pictorial  account  of  a  Biblical  pas- 
sage. The  first  one  was  taken  from 
Exodus  14:26  and  shows  the  parting 
of  Ihe  Dead  Sea.  The  second  one, 
laken  from  Exodus  48:30,  repre- 
sents the  pillar  of  fire  and  covering 
cloud.  In  the  third  wall  hanging 
Miss  Zollinger  visually  manifested 
God's  power  in  sending  manna  lo 
feed  the  people.  This  story  is  re- 
corded in  Deuteronomy  8:14.16. 

God  not  only  guided  the  Israel- 
ites with  the  cloud  and  pillar  of 
fire  but  also  gave  them  Iht-  ten 
commandment"^  to  guide  their 
life  styles.   Tms  is  what  the 
fourlh  wall  hanging,  which  was 
laken  Irom  Exodus  19:2,  shows. 

The  iiiih  hanging  portrays  the 
glory  oi  God  filling  ihe  labernacle 
after  it's  completion,  li  was  laken 
trom  Exodus  40:34. 

The  sixth  and  last  of  the  set 
represents  the  promised  land  a 
land  of  milk  and  honey  and  ful- 
filled dreams.  Leviticus  25  -10  is 
Ihe  text  it  was  based  on. 

All  of  the  wall  hangings  are  4'/;

Johanna  Birgisdol 


Iceland,  dii 
weeks  ago 
family  "ii 


just  three 
vrote  home  to  lell  her 
iwded  here." 
ca  her  Seandi 
fi'ilier,  Leif  Ericson,  discovered  back  in 
1000  A.D, 

Johanna,  a  17-ycar-old,  fair-skinned, 
blonde  freshman  comes  from  the  capital 
city  Reyjavek,  which  doesn't  allow  dogs 
bul  has  no  objections  lo  fish,  being  one 
of  the  two  largest  fishing  ports  in  Iceland. 
To  celebrale  each  new  summer  season,  the 
mayor  of  Reyjavek  catches  Ihe  first  salmon 
from  Ihe  Eliida  River  whose  rushing  waters 
iravel  right  through  the  center  of  llie  city 
of  115,000  in  population. 

Though  Reyjavek  lies  on  a  "lazy"  sea- 
shore, north  winds  and  icebergs  make  it 
difficult  for  one  to  swim  even  in  summer, 
but  water  piped  in  from  natural  under- 
ground hot  springs  allows  year-round  swim- 
ming in  pools  of  comfortable  temperatures. 
This  same  piping  provides  central  heating 
for  the  houses  of  the  city  and  gives  Rey- 
javek the  nickname,  "Smokeless  Citj'" 

Johanna  smiles  as  she  recalls  making 
first  acquaintances  here  who  have  asked. 
"Aren't  you  hot?  It  is  cold  where  you 
come  from,  isn't  it?"  Johanna  says  it  is 
more  humid  here  and  windy  there,  but 
the  climate  is  not  all  that  different. 

When  asked  what  she  found  most 
fascinating  about  America,  Johanna 
replied,  "I  like  how  the  sun  shines  so 
briglitly.  '■ 

Because  of  the  strong  Religion  De- 
partment, SMC  was  recommended  to 
Johanna  by  a  friend  from  Newbold,  our 
sister  college  in  England.  Johanna  hopes 
to  return  to  Iceland  after  graduating  and 
leach  al  Ihe  academy  she  graduated  from. 


Birgisdotlir  means  she  is  Birgir's  (father, 
first  name)  daugliter.  Her  brother's  Ian  | 
name,  therefore,  would  be  Bireisc 


after 


sihe 


same  last  name,  but  her  children  will 
be  named  after  her  husband's  first  nam; 
with  "dottir"  or  "son"  attached. 

Iceland's  national  holiday  is  June  17,  I 
Tills  is  graduation  day  for  ihose  who 
will  attend  university  in  the  fall.  Thest 
graduates  may  be  spotted  m  any  crowd,  | 
yes.  even  at  the  soccer  arena  for  tliey 
all  wear  white  hats  on  this  particular 

When  asked  what  the  major  differ- 
ence between  our  two  cultures  was, 
Johanna's  blue  eyes  danced  in  sliy 
merriment,  "You  American; 
too  polite!"   To  which  her 
briskly  replied,  "You're  in  Ihe  South!"  |

Southern     Accent     Candidate 


jSOO^  li.ZV9Zkl 


This  year  the  Soulhern  Accent  will 
be  printing  a  number  of  (we  hope) 
highly  readable  book  reviews  which  will 
be  of  interest  to  a  significant  majority 
of  the  students  here  at  SMC.  The  pur- 
pose of  these  reviews  will  be  not  only 
10  entertain  but  to  be  of  service  lo 
you,  and  we  will  be  considering  books 
of  outstanding  interest  or  usefulness, 
whether  SDA  or  non-SDA,  religious. 
secular,  or  reference.   Some  of  the  up- 
coming books  and  topics  now  in  plan- 
ning are  77)c  Secret  Life  of  Plan  Is; 
books  on  Noali's  ark;  the  best  refer- 
ence Bibles;  God  Invenied  Sex:  Jona- 
than Livingston  Seagull;   the  SDA 
magazines;  and  a  host  of  other  tant- 
alizing goodies.  The  first  of  these 
reviews  appears  in  this  issue. 

We  realize  how  much  you  students 
will  long  to  acquire  these  books  after 
reading  about  them,  and  so  to  pre- 
vent riots  we  have  made  arrangements 
with  the  two  book  stores  in  the  mail 
to  have  each  book  on  sale  at  the  lime 
the  review  is  printed.    Bibles  and  SDA 
books  will  be  sold  at  the  Book  &  Bible 
House,  and  all  others  at  the  Campus 
Shop.   These  may  be  put  on  your 
statement.    Furthermore,  if  the  book 
reviewed  is  in  the  library,  it  will  usually 
be  put  on  three-day  reserve  for  one 
month  as  a  service  to  the  students 
[i.e.,  to  keep  the  eager  beavers  from 
grabbing  it  the  first  day  and  keeping 
it  for  a  month).   You  may  ask  for  it

SHC  Students  Win 
Sets  Of  China 

Two  SMC  students  have  gained 
nation-wide  recognition  for  their 
accomplishments  in  the  Home 
Economics  field. 

Miss  Cynthia  His  is  the  first- 
prize  winner  of  the  1975  Oxford 
Coordination  Contest.    The  con- 
test is  based  on  the  application 
of  art  principles  in  the  coordin- 
ation of  china,  crystal,  and  flat- 
ware design.    Eight  complete 
place  settings  of  Oxford  Bone 
China  and  Lenox  Crystal  are  her 
prize.    She  also  placed  fifth  in 
the  Twenty-first  Annual  Lenox 
Table  Setting  Contest. 

Miss  Diane  Parsons  is  the  Na- 
tional First  Plateau  Prize  winner 
in  the  Fostoria  Table  Setting 
Contest  sponsored  by  the  editorial 
staff  of  "Bride's"  Magazine.    Her 
prize  is  a  five-piece  place  setting 


Perfection,  the  Impossible  Possibility. 
the  third  in  Southern  Publishing's 
ANVIL  series,  is  a  collection  of  essays 
by  four  Adventist  scholars:    Herbert 
Douglass,  Edward  Heppenstal,  Hans 
LaRondelle,  and  Mervvn  Maxwell. 
Douglass  is  an  editor  of  the  Review 
and  Herald;  the  other  three  writers 

Douglass  and  Maxwell  tend  lo  lake 
the  "possible"  position  against  Hep- 
penstal's  and  LaRondclle's  "impos-

In  the  second  haH  of  his  paper 
Douglass  delves  into  the  subject  of 
Ihc  riyluic  of  Cluisl  in  His  incarnation, 
another  hotly  debated  subject  in  the 
church.    Douglass  emphasizes  a  Christ 


from  the  spirit  of  prophecy  [pages 
40-45).    To  Douglass  this  is  crucially 
important  since,  if  Christ's  nature 

could  not  be  expected  t 


The  Adventist  position  has  been 
lending  away  from  this  view  some-

__  :  perfection? 

....  Our  specific  purpose  now  is  to 
investigate  the  inspired  answer  ..  .  . 
recorded  in  the  Old  Testament. 
LaRondelle  then  takes  us  on  a  gi^oed 
tour  through  the  entire  Bible,  elucidatini 
the  texts  having  a  bearing  on  this  topic. 
LaRondelle's  Biblically -derived  def- 
inition of  perfection  is  similar  to 
Heppenstall's.    Perfection  in  the  Gos- 
pels is  "the  revival  of  the  principles 
of  perfect  love  as  proclaimed  by  Moses 
and  t 

sent  gift  £ 

only  at  the  ultimate  establishment 
of  the  kingdom  of  glory."  (page  121), 
LaRondelle's  conclusion:  perfection 
is  "living  daily  out  of  God's  forgiving 
and  keeping  grace  ....  The  only 
absolutely  perlect,  that  is,  inherently 
sinless,  character  has  been  revealed 


:aliy  in  the  perfection  of  Christ. 
Man  has  no  perfection  in  himself." 
(page  136). 

Like  Douglass.  Maxwell  approaches 
perfection  from  the  standpoint  of 
preparation  for  the  second  coming. 
His  main  point  is  that  there  is  a  dif-

Heppsnstal-s  and  LaRondelle  sde 

Mtions  of  perfection,  these  people 
were  "perfect."    Maxwell  then  quotes 
GC  424-6:    "But  the  people  mere  not 
,et  ready  .0  meet, heir  Lord  ^ 
Those  who  are  livina  "P°"  ""        .. 
when  the  intercession  or  t.nriii  >i>aii

be  spotless....  When  this  work 
hall  haue  been  accomplished,  the 
SSowers  of  Christ  will  be  ready  for 
His  appearing."    And  what  did  they 
lack?     They  lacked  a  knowledge  of 
the  doctrines  of  the  Sabbath  and  the 
sanctuary,  doctrines  vitally  necessary 
for  the  completion  of  God's  plan  on 
^^'LikrDouglass!'Maxwel!  goes  to  great 
lengths  to  carefully  define  his  terms, 
since  the  term  "sinless  perfection 
has  been  abused  by  fanatics  to  mean 
a  state  beyond  the  reach  of  sin,  some- 
thing Maxwell  repudiates.    He  also 
disavows  the  possibility  of  absolute 
perfection  beyond  which  there  can 
be  no  progress. 

Since  the  words  do  not  appear  in 
the  Bible,  Maxwell  takes  issue  with 

looking  the  fact 

pears  in  one  of  k..-  ► 

from  Steps  to  Clirisi 

later.    True,  he  says,  mere  is  d  iensc 

in  which  we  are  saved  solely  by  grace, 

"through  the  grace  of  God  and  their 
own  diligent  efforts  (GC  4251," 

of  the  church  fathers  and  Christian 
theologians  in  this  debate  ("Luther 
knew  nothing  of  the  third  angel's 
message.").  He  devotes  an  entire 
section  to  defining  sin  and  another 
to  answering  the  objections  of  his 
opponents,  which  the  other  three 
writers  tend  to  ignore,  making  his 
paper  the  longest  and  most  thorough 


e  passages  he  quotes

To  Maxwell,  sin  is  yielding  to  temp-

leave  us?  Have  we  finally  found  a

Bible  and  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy? 
I  think  not.    There  is  a  possible  I

The  Spirit  of  Prophecy  is  neitha

I'll  be  the  first  to  admit  that  (he  paper 
hasn't  been  what  il  should  be  or  what  it 
could  be     In  less  than  three  years  there 
have  oeen  nine  different  editors,  four  of 
which  were  co-editors.    Even  at  that  it  still 
means  that  four  different  times  someone  has 
stepped  in  without  a  summer  of  planning, 
without  the  cohesiveness  nf  an  organized 
smooth  running  staff,    and  without  the  hours 
of  reflection  and  thought  as  to  whether  this 
was  a  job  they  were  prepared  to  take  on. 

No  this  isn't  another  farewell  speech, 
and  il  isn't  a  sob  ^tory  begging  you,  the 
students  and  faculty  to  accept  a  second- 
rate  paper.  It  is  a  request  for  understand- 
ing and  support,  though.  I  am  confident 
thai  with  your  help  we  can  make  the  Accent 
3  paper  everyone  will  be  proud  of.  But  it 
will  take  time. 

It's  easy  to  criticize  the  paper,  a  lot  easier 
than  giving  support,  out  that's  what  I'm 
asking  for  -  support.    The  Accent  i  s  your 

If  something  we  print  bugs  you,  write 
a  tetter  to  the  editor.    If  you  know  about 
something  that  we  have  neglected  to  cover, 
tell  us  aoout  it.   Also,  v\hat  do  you  expect 
from  the  Accent?   Would  you  rather  have  a 
few  in  depth  features,  or  do  you  like  lots 
of  three  or  four  inch  news  shorts?   The 
slaft  would  like  to  know  how  you  feel. 

On  the  paper  staff ,    we've  had  mechan  ic- 
al  break-downs,  frustrating  nights  of  only 
three  or  four  hours  sleep,  a  sickening 
feeling  in  the  pit  of  our  stomaches  when  we 
found  out  that  after  frantically  trying  to  get 
a  paper  laid  out  by  Monday  morning  it  couldn't 
flet  printed  until  Thursday,  and  numerous 
hours  of  valuable  learning  but  I  i  mited  pro- 
ductiveness.   But  we  haven't  given  up,  and 
don't  you  give  up  either.    There  wt  II  oe  an 
Accent  this  year,  and  it   will  be  a  paper 
you'll  be  proud  to  call  your  own.

The  building  of  the  fine  arts

"  are  ils  favorile  slogans, 
!  than  willing  lo  express 
whenever  anyone  dares 
cluill  ent;('  lis  sacred  premises. 

Hdicy  IS  when  the  Internal  Revenue 
Serv'ice  sends  two  men  200  miles  to  collect 
S25  torn  a  widow  who  made  a  mistake  on  her 
tax  Ibm. 

Fblicy  is  when  a  young  lady  visiting 
SMC  is  embarrassed  when  she  shows  up  at 
the  cafeteria  wearing  jeans. 

Fblicy  is  when  a  freshman  student  with 
no  other  means  of  practical  transportation 
other  than  his  car  is  told  on  arrival  that 
even  if  lie  did  offer  to  turn  in  his  license 
plates  and  keys  he  still  couldn't  park 
his  car  wilhin  50  miles  of  the  SMC  campus. 

Fblicy  is  \*en  a  girl  in  Thatcher  can't 
have  her  sister  who  happens  to  stay  in 
.Jones  come  spend  the  night  with  her  with- 
out having  to  either  break  the  rule  or  beg 
and  plead  for  a  special  dispensation. 

And  yes.  policy  is  when  I'm  told  that 
there  is  no  way  of  getting  into  the  Student 
Center  before  10:30  on  Sunday  morning  to 
start  1  ayi  ng  out  the  paper  because — well 
because  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  it  was 
decided  to  stay  firm  on  this  issue;  because — 
well  because  other  student  centers  operate 
on  this  policy. 

Seriously  now,  il's  a  lot  easier  to  poke 
fun  at  mies  and  rationalize  behavior  llian 
it   i  s  10  obey  them.   With  over  IGOO  students 
rules  must  be  implemented  and  enforced  to 
avert  chaos  and  uphold  the  standards  of 
Christian  education. 

1  only  ask  those  in  administrative  positions 
10  remember  the  purpose  of  any  rule  estab- 
lished and  lo  always  be  people  oriented  _ 
rather  than  policy  oriented  in  the  enforcement 
of  these  rules.

k    ou    how  can  a  requirement 
tr,rh  as'co/npu/sory  Sabbath  School 
and  church  attendance  be  instituted 
ai  SMC  when  such  a  large  P""'"" 
of  the  student  body  seems  to  be  s 
decidedly  against  it?    I'm  not  speak-

large  percent  of  our 

faculty    and  adminis-

■s   freely  sharing  and

guidelines  and  uncover  principles 
that  will  be  relevant  and  clear  to 
staff   and  students  alike?    Lan  so 
many  concerned  students  be  so 
very  wrong  at  the  same  time  about 


nd  the  rea( 
the  importance  of  a  close  relation- 1 
ship  between  student  and  faculty. 
More  than  anything  else  we  as  stu-

only  reasonable,  nevertheless,  that 
the  students  should  have  a  reason-

Why  is  i  t  that  during  the  short 
period  of  my  attendance  here  I  have 
heard  so  many  jokes  concerning  our

Articles  written  from  research 
at  the  physics  department  of

Among  the  distinguished  guests 
present  were  Congresswoman  Maryliii 
Lloyd,  Mayor  Pat  Rose  and  the  directors 
of  the  many  museums  that  contributed 
works  to  the  Southern  Sampler  Exhi- 
bition. 

In  his  opening  remarks,  l^obasco 
commented  on  the  significance  of 
having  the  Hunter  Museum  in  Chatta- 
nooga: "It's  one  of  the  largest  mu- 
seums for  a  community  tliis  size  and 
well  could  be  the  largest  in  the  country 
on  a  population  basis." 

"The  real  reason  for  its  success 
is  the  merit  of  volunteer  work  and  the 
type  of  people  that  have  taken  an  in- 
terest in  the  arts  here." 

Congresswoman  Lioyd  said,  "It's 
great  day  for  Chattanooga.  This 
luseum  is  here  for  the  future,  for 
our  chil  dren  and  grandchildren  to 
have  and  appreciate."

Students  Help  Build  School 


months  a  group  of  Southern 
Missionary  College  students 
has  joined  forces  with  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  church 
membership  of  Murphy,  North 
Carolina,  in  the  construction 
of  a  now  nearly  completed 
schoolhouse. 

The  project  began  early  last 
summer  when  Mike  Rasmussen, 
a  teacher  in  the  Murphy  school 
taking  summer  classwork  at 
SMC  ,  mentioned  to  someone 
that  he  was  building  a  school.

they  arrived  the  first  time  the 
building  had  bare  rafters;  when 
they  left  that  evening  it  was 
ready  for  shingling.  Rasmussen 
said  that  job  alone  would  have 
taKen  a  week  without  help. 

Calkins  termed  the  school 
building  "a  miracle  all  the  way." 
She  told  how  Mr.  Charles  Woods. 
a  non-Adventist  businessman  in 
Murphy,  had  donated  the  11.000 
board  feet  of  lumber  used  in  the 
project.    Largely  because  of 
that  gift  the  Murphy  Church 
is  only  having  to  raise  S9000

Initial  Stage  Comprises 

Office  Building  And  Nursing  Home 


A  large-scale  lieallh-care  development  is 
planned  for  the  southwest  corner  of  Rob- 
inson Corners.  Mr.  O.D.  McKee  has  don- 
ated the  land  to  Ihe  Southern  Union,  and 
the  Southern  Advenlist  Health  and  Hos- 
pital System,  Inc.  has  begun  the  initial 
stages  of  promotion  and  development, 

According  to  Mr.  Charles  Fleming, 
director  of  promotion  on  the  local  level, 
long  range  plans  include  a  nursing  home 
of  120  beds,  professional  offices  to  accomo- 
date physicians,  dentists,  optometrists,  and 
a  pharmacy;  a  retirement  complex,  apart- 
ments and  condominiums,  a  church,  park, 
lake,  and  a  hospital. 

In  the  first  stage  the  nursing  home  and 
office  building  will  be  built.  Fleming  says 
that  the  surveying  is  being  done  now  and 
that  if  everything  goes  as  scheduled,  hope- 
fully construction  will  begin  on  the  medi- 
cal clinic  before  the  end  of  the  year  and 


a  graduate  of  Fletcher  Academy  in  1 97 1 . 

Mr.  Harold  (Ken)  West,  Jr..  is  the  son 
of  Elder  and  Mrs.  Harold  K.  West  of 
Orlando,  Florida.  He  will  be  complet- 
ing requirements  for  a  biology  degree 
in  December.  Ken  graduated  from 
Forest  Lake  Academy  in  Mailland, 
Florida. 

Ms.  Karen  (Kay)  Waller  will  also  be 
completing  requirements  for  a  degree 
in  biology  this  December.  She  is  the 
daughter  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  L.  C.  Waller 
of  Candler,  North  Carolina,  and  was 
a  1972  graduate  of  Mount  Pisgah 
Academy  in  Candler. 

The  Soulhcm  Acceiii  wishes  to  con- 
gratulate these  students  and  alumni 
for  their  outstanding  perserverence 
and  scholastic  achievement.

The  funds  for  site  preparation  and  roads 
are  coming  from  Ihc  sale  of  land  to  Develop- 
ment Enterprises  of  Cleveland,  Tennessee, 
which  is  going  to  build  Ihc  nursing  home. 
The  money  for  the  medical  complex  will 
come  from  financing. 

The  nursing  home  will  provide  jobs  in 
the  near  future  for  SMC  students,  and 
althougli  there  are  lots  of  barriers  to 
overcome  before  a  hospital  can  be  built, 
Fleming  says  that  it  would  not  only  pro- 
vide employment  but  also  be  a  very  strong 
asset  to  the  nursing  program  here  al  SMC. 

The  Southern  Advenlist  Health  and 
Hospital  System,  Inc.  presently  has  ulti- 
mate control  of  the  11  hospitals  presently 
operated  by  the  Southern  Union.

Train  Hits  Volkswagen 


At  7:55  a.m.  Friday  morning,  a  red  1972 
Volkswagen  was  hit  by  a  train  at  the  College- 
dale  railroad  crossing  on  the  Apison  Pike 
Road. 

Dr.  Aussner,  an  eyewitness  observer  of 
the  accident,  recounts  what  happened: 
"There  were  two  cars  ahead  of  me.  I 
heard  the  train  coming  from  Apison,  and 
then  the  front  car  ran  across  the  tracks. 
The  lady  in  the  V\V  also  preceded  to  cross. 


1  believe  the  train  was  at  the  bridge  when 
she  started.  The  train  blew  its  whistle, 
but  she  kept  on  going.  I  looked  underneath 
the  train  cars  to  see  if  she  had  made  it  or 
not.  and  saw  the  VW  on  the  other  side." 
The  car  was  thrown  approximately  35 
yards.  The  driver,  a  27-ye3r-old  Oollewah 
lady,  and  her  daughter  were  shaken  up  but 
not  seriously  injured.

Seuefal  years  ago  I  was  on  a  lour  ui  i  la  v 
,,o;oi  college  ..uden^s  from  a  U,S.Advent.^^^^^^ 
?ege    P.ren.s  were  an  ocear.  away,  ryos.  ol  ih    walls 
ol  resir.ciion  had  been  lowered,  and  ihere  was  Ihe     _ 
yene-'al  feeling  of  "Now  I  can  do  what  I  want  to  do. 
Thai's  exacilv  what  they  did,  loo.  Some  of  the  girls 
even  went  oui  on  blind  dates  wiih  Italians  off  the 
street  which  ihey  wouldn't  have  considered  doing 
back  home. 

1 1  you've  just  gone  along  with  what  your  folks 
said  or  what  ihe  school  said  and  haven't  established 
your  own  personal  convictions,  your  morals  will 
probably  crumble  when  you  leave  the  blanket  of 
security  of  an  Adventis!  campus. 

Now  I'm  going  to  go  one  step  further  and 
say  ihat  ihe  strongest  convictions  are  just  clay  in  the 
the  devil's  hand.  Sin  is  much  more  than  just  break- 
ing a  rule  It's  the  sign  of  a  deeper  problem.  f^/Iaybe 
you  won't  agree  with  me,  but  I  say  sin  is  a  coping 
mechanism.  Have  you  ever  noticed  that  it's  when 
you're  discouraged  that  you  feel  like  tossing  your 
morals  out  the  window  and  having  a  good  time. 

The  quotation,  "Every  man  has  his  price."  isn't 
too  far  from  The  truth.  Your  needs  determine  your 
behavior,  and  strong  beliefs  will  break  if  enough 
pressure  is  applied. 

Peter  stated  emphatically  that  he  would  never 
desert  Christ,  and  right  after  that,  under  pressure 
of  lear,  he  swore  he  never  knew  Him. 

Some  people  have  stronger  backbones  than 
others  and  look  disdainfully  at  their  weak  friends. 
It's  easy  for  them  to  shake  their  heads  in  sancti- 
monious piety  and  say,  "Did  you  hear  about..." 
They  seem  to  forget  that  under  the  same  circum- 
stances they'd  probably  do  the  same  thing. 

"Now  hold  on  there,"  you  say,  "are  you  trying 
to  say  there  is  no  such  thing  as  right  or  wrong?" 

This  isn't  what  I'm  trying  to  say  at  all.  I'm  just 
propounding  that  the  answer  to  sin  and  its  terrible 
consequences  is  not  through  sharpening  your  will 
power  through  mental  gymnastics.  There  is  hope 
for  the  sinner.  God  offers  you  a  relationship  with 
Him  that  will  fulfill  your  needs  and  give  you  the 
strength  to  follow  the  lifestyle  he's  outlined. 

This  IS  where  the  crux  of  the  problem  lies.  So 
olten  we  either  let  the  situation  shape  our  morals 
or  try  to  shape  them  ourselves  with  rigid  obser- 
vance of  a  hsl  of  do's  and  don'ts  rather  than 
working  on  forming  this  relationship. 

Establishing  a  trusting  relationship  vi-ith  God 
isn't  easy,  you  have  to  work  at  it.  fvlaybe  it  will 
even  mean  gelling  up  earlier  lo  study  and  pray. 

What  you  do  and  what  you  think  is  your  business, 
but  as  far  as  I'm  concerned.  I've  decided  that  the 
best  way  lo  find  happiness  is  lo  trust  God  v 
hang-ups  knowing  that  this  is  the 
behavior  problems  will  be  taken  c

Schlelsner   Announces 
Limited   TV   Use 

On  September  22  in  Talge  worship, 
Dean  Schlcisner  announced  that  "The 
.  TV  will  be  back  in  service,  but  only  for 
a  limited  number  of  special  programs." 

Among  that  "limited  number"  are 
Jacques  Cousleau  specials,  the  Super- 
bowl,  World  Scries,  several  bicentennial 
programs,  Olympics,  and  the  election 
year  primaries  and  conventions. 

Schleisiier  noted  that  'This  list  we 
have  drawn  up  is  the  final  word,  and 
to  put  it  bluntly,  we  (the  deans)  don't 
want  to  be  bugged  about  it." 

He  said  several  discussions  with  Dr. 
Knittel  and  others  strengthened  the 
the  deans  have  had  for  a 


"We  feel  there  is  not  that  nmch  worth 
watching  anyway,  and  we've  tried  to  pick 
the  best  from  the  worst.  We  hope  we 
have  included  something  for  everyone  in 
our  varied  selection  of  programs."

and  also  avoid  running  into  each  other. 
Some  of  the  couples  skating  together 
were  an  example  of  fluid  motion  and 
the  others-well,  they  enjoyed  the  learn- 
ing process. 

Besides  free  skating,  single  and  charioi 
races  were  organized,  teams  were  divided 
according  to  class  standing  and  separate 
races  were  held  for  the  girls  and  guys. 

The  party  was  scheduled  from  7:30 
to  9:30  p.m.,  but,  according  to  Men's 
Club  president,  Tommy  Davidson,  "The 
turnout  was  so  large  and  we  were  having 
so  much  fun  that  we  kept  on'  rolling 
until  10:00  o'clock." 

After  the  party  a  concensus  was  taken 
as  to  whether  everyone  enjoyed  them- 
selves and  would  like  somctliing  similar 
in  the  future.  Those  with  sore  feet  and 
bottoms  had  to  think  a  minute  before 
answering,  but  in  the  end  there  was 
unanimous  approval. 

According  to  Davidson,  he  and  Barbara

What    You    Always    W 

Most  Americans,  il  seems,  have  a  bad 
memory.  Perhaps  il  is  our  system  of 
educaUon;  perhaps  it  is  the  easy  avaiJa- 
bility  of  print  and  pen  and  paper;  perhaps 
it  even  has  something  to  do  with  television. 
The  memory  capacity  of  ilHterates  and 
Orientals  often  surpasses  thai  of  Western 
I.  In  one  Mohammedan  university 
of  the  entrance  requirements  is  that 
,„^  entire  Koran,  a  document  slightly 
smaller  than  the  New  Testament,  must 
be  memorized  (the  faculty  here  should 
understand  that  we  are  not  recommend- 
ing  (his).  . 

Short  of  becomming  illilerale,  which 
may  be  somewhat  impracticd,  or  becom- 
ming Oriental,  which  seems  unnecessarily 
difficult,  arc  there  any  remedies  for  a 
treacherous  memory?  Scientists  working 
on  the  problem  have  made  some  interest- 
ing discoveries  such    as  the  fact  that 
specific  memories  are  stored  in  specific 
molecules  in  the  brain.  Two  scientists 
trained  rats  to  shun  the  dark  by  giving 
Ihem  a  choice  of  running  into  a  well- 
liglilcd  box  or  a  dark  one  in  which  they 
were  shocked.  They  then  extracted 
from  their  brains  the  chemical  they 
suspected  was  responsible  for  storing 
this  memory  of  fear  of  the  dark  and 
injected  it  into  untrained  rats.  These 
rats  then  also  avoided  llie  dark.  Further- 
more, the  same  chemical  also  produced 
fear  of  darkness  in  other  animals.  Some- 
day you  may  get  calculus  by  injection! 

Don'l  wait  around  for  it  thougli. 
Other  drugs  aimed  at  sharpening  the 
memory  are  now  in  the  test  tubes,  but 
for  the  squeamish  here  are  two  books 
that  wiL  do  the  same  thing  with  no  side 
effects. 

The  New  York  Knicks  may  have  lost 
a  basketball  star  but  the  world  gained  a 
mnemonist  when  Jerry  Lucas  teamed  up 
with  his  mentor,  Harry  Lorayne,  to  write 
The  Memory  Book  (Stein  and  Day,  1 974, 
i7.9S.paperback-Sl.95),  seven  months  on 
the  bestseller  list.  Lorayne  is  an  old  pro, 
having  written  a  number  of  books  on 
improving  the  mind.  Lucas  became  a 
disciple  of  Lorayne's  after  reading  one 
of  his  books.  He  put  its  principles  to 
work  in  liis  studies  and  graduated  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  from  Oliio  State  University, 
■'having  put  in  something  like  one  fourth 
the  study  time  that  most  students  used." 
Lucas  went  on  to  appear  on  television 
and  perfect  a  few  techniques  of  his  own, 
ind  finally  one  day  the  two  authors  met 
for  the  first  time  and  gabbed  on  for  about 
eighteen  hours,  some  of  which  gabbing 
they  recorded  and  inserted  in  the  book. 
It  is  these  personal  reminiscences  which 
make  tlris  book  so  readable.  Atone 
point  Lorayne  claims  to  have  memorized 
around  twenty  million  names  in  his  career- 
enougli  to  start  his  own  country,  he  quips. 
Not  that  we  want  to  quibble,  but  that 
comes  lo  around  1 ,000  a  day  for  each 
day  of  his  life.  Of  course,  perhaps  he  I"" 
always  lived  in  New  York  where  there 
lots  and  lots  of  people  " 


BOOK  mn^'^ 

,„,ed   T.    Know    But    Couldn't    Remember 


The  secret  of  Lucas- and  What's-his- 
name's  marvelous  memory  is  tlieir  mne- 
monc^lsy^X^m  of  linking  different  words 

"gelher  by  ridiculous  associations  invo- 
ing  bizarre  mental  pictures.  For  exanipie, 
suppose  you  wish  to  remember  a  list  of 
things  you  need  to  buy:  envelopes  a 
trash  can,  shoelaces,  frying  pan,  and  so 
on    First  picture  a  huge  envelope  act- 
ing as  a  trash  can.  Got  il?    Now  see 
thousands  and  thousands  of  shoelaces 
falling  into  it.  Next  picture  a  large  fry- 
ing pan  in  which  shoelaces  are  being 

It'sounds  crazy,  yes,  but  it  works-in 
fact,  that's  why  it  works.  The  more 
ridiculous  the  mental  image,  the  longer 
it  is  retained. 

This  basic  metliod  has  many  different 
applications,  and  tlie  authors  include 
;hapters  on  remembering  speeches  or 
sermons,  foreign  languages,  names  and 
faces,  and  numbers,  not  to  mention 
appointments,  the  stock  market,  and  where 
where  you  laid  your  keys.  Names,  for 
example,  are  remembered  by  altering^^ 
Ihem  slightly  if  necessary  ("Thatcher" 
becomes  "That  chali")  and  associating 
them  to  some  outstanding  feature  of  the 
person's  face,  which  is  mentally  exagger- 

If  Jerry  Lucas  memorized  the  first  few 
hundred  pages  of  the  Manliatten  telephone 
book,  certainly  a  chemistry  student  could 
memorize  the  elements  with  their  weights 
and  symbols  using  this  system.  Greek 
students  will  be  overjoyed  at  the  new 

ities  open  to  them  after  reading 
<:hapter  seven.  If  Lucius  Scipio  was  able 
to  remember  the  names  and  faces  of  all 
the  citizens  of  ancient  Rome  with  a 
mnemonic  system,  perhaps  you  could  do 
the  same  for  all  the  residents  of  your 
wing  in  the  dorm.  Some  enterprising 
students  might  even  enjoy  committing 
the  Joker  to  memory. 

According  to  the  authors,  once  the  fact 
has  been  learned  by  association  the  associa- 
tion itself  soon  fades,  leaving  behind  a 
natural  memory.  This  has  been  my  exper- 
ience as  I  tried  out  the  system  in  learning 
Greek  vocabulary.  One  criticism  1  have  is 
that  it  does  require  practice  to  become 
adept  at  formulating  the  proper  links  on 
the  spur  of  the  moment.  This  may  not 
come  as  easily  to  some  people  as  it 
evidently  does  to  the  authors,  althou^ 
the  authors  insist  that  their  natural  memory 
is  no  better  than  average. 

If  mnemonics  is  beneatli  your  dignity, 
you  might  prefer  Techniques  for  Efficient 
Remembering,  by  Donald  and  Elearnor 
Laird  (McGraw-Hill,  1960,  paperback, 
S2.4S),  which  covers  just  about  everything 
:lse  about  memory  other  than  mnemonics. 
This  book  will  never  make  the  best-seller 
hst,  but  il  is  a  useful,  non-technical  appli- 
cation of  scientific  findings  to  the  student's 
study  methods.  Laird  reviews  the  results 
of  many  different  experiments  conducted 
by  researchers  and  applies  these  results  to 
formulate  general  principles  and  specific 


techniques  of  increasing  recaU  of  learned 
ilerial. 

Laird  pokes  a  little  fun  at  mnemomsls 
and  their  schemes,  labelling  them  as  "arti- 
fical"  remembering.  He  opts  for  more 
natural  means  of  learning  such  as  self- 
recitation  and  spaced  practice.  The  book 
includes  an  index  and  a  helpful  bibliography. 
For  the  student  who  wants  lo  knowa//  the 
techniques,  both  books  are  necessary. 

Oh"incidently,  you  miglit  be  interested 
in  knowing  Ellen  G.  Wlutc's  formula  for 
improving  the  memory:  "nothing  else  will 
so  help  to  give  (students]  a  retentive  mem- 
ory as  the  study  of  the  scriptures."  (Coun- 
sels to  Teachers,  p.  483).

ouireach  came  up.    In  the  discussion  .

an  organization,  at  first  involving  the 
efforts  of  the  five  men,  but  perhaps  even- 
tually involving  a  great  many  more  people

who  want  and  need  il.  thus  helping 
spread  the  cause  of  God  carried  on  t)y 
our  church.    They  held  a  forma!  meeting 
a  few  days  later,  elected  officers,  and 
drafted  the  name,  "The  Leaves  Of  Autumn. 

"The  message  of  tmth  is  to  go  to  all 
nations,  tongues,  and  people;  its  publi- 
cations, printed  in  many  different  lan- 
guages, are  to  be  scattered  abroad  like

difference.  He  is  ihe  (ype 
who  is  always  lerribly  in- 
iiuMcr  wlial  kind  of  job 

I  ilK   m  egghead?  Not  really. 


I  page,  and  then  the 


ord  puzzle  must  al- 
ike a  choice  between 


Middle  English.    He  was  a  fabulous 
teacher,  bat  I  never  worked  so  hard 
in  all  my  life.    After  all,  I  didn'l  want 
him  lo  Ihink  he  was  married  lo  some- 
:ho  wasn't  too  bright.    And  I 
t  about  lo  ask  him  for  any  help, 


What  is  the  most  unusual  thing  he 
has  ever  done?  That's  a  hard  one,  but 
1  would  say  that  building  almost  single- 
handledly  a  two  story  (2400  square 
feel)  home  plus  a  full  basement  would 


stand,  but  liveable.    He  laid  all  those 
thousands  of  bricks  one  by  one.    That 
beautiful  house,  very  well-built. 


.  but  in  this  ____  ,^._, 

louder  than  words.    Actually,  it  has 
been  a  matter  of  self-defense.    I'm  a 
real  animal  nut.    When  he  goes  on 
long  trips,  we  quite  often  manage  to 
smuggle  in  another  stray  and  he  lets 
them  stay  most  of  the  time.    All  I 
can  say  is  that  I  am  glad  you  didn't 
ask  hmi  about  this  one.    He  could 
write  a  long  article  on  tliis  subject. 
He  says  I  should  have  been  a  veterinar- 
ian or  have  run  an  animal  shelter  as 

Is  he  a  fast  driver?    No,  just  absent 

minded. 

Does  he  always  have  so  much  energy' 

Absolutely.    He's  a  mornine  oerson    a 


_ .  _ .        ,  the  few 
when  I  can't  sleep  he  tells  me 
that  if  people  have  a  cfear  conscience 
■'  :y  can  sleep.    Then  he  ducks. 

Which  of  his  virtues  do  you  most 
admire?  Oh,  wow!  Aside  from  his 
Christian  virtues  1  guess  I  would  have 
say  his  patience  and  tenacity.  If 
can't  eet  something  to  work  just 
riglit,  he  keeps  right  on  trying  until 
he  does  figure  out  a  way  to  make  it 


owe  is  because  of  my  > 

Does  he  watch  much  television?  He 

probably   averages  one   hour   every   six 
months,  althougli  I  can  I  remember 
the  last  tune  he  watched  anything. 
He  is  an  avid  reader,  tliougli. 

What  are  his  hobbies?    Besides  me, 
he  likes  to  work  on  the  house.    At 
least  that's  what  he  does.    In  Colorado, 
I  would  have  said  snow-skiing.    He 
really  enjoyed  that. 

Does  he  have  any  annoying  habits? 
He  certainly  does.  He  snores  {I  can't 
stand  the  quiet  when  he's  gone)  and 
he  eats  loo  fast.  I  can't  get  the  food 
arranged  on  my  plate  before  he  is  gone. 

Well,  folks  (to  quote  Dr.  McClarty), 
here  it  is  -  your  college  president  ss 
1  see  him  (a  completely  objective,  un- 
biased opinion).    There  are  no  dull 
moments  around  our  house.    Just  when 
I  think  things  might  become  predictable.

College  as  a  FVeshman  Nursing 

Her  first  three  years  were 
spent  in  t  he  Hiilippines  where 
her  father  was  the  Business  Ad- 
ministrator for  Mountain  View 
College. 

She  took  Home  Study  courses 
to  complete  her  Elementary  ed- 
ucation and  then  went  to  Fbr 
Ehstern  Academy  in  Singapore 
where  she  finished  her  Fresh- 
man and  Sophmore  years. 

Tlie  school  year  of  1973-1974 
found  Wanda  living  with  her  sis- 
ter in  Nashville,  Tfennessee  and 
attending  Madison  Academy,  "  I 
wanted  a  change." 

She  then  returned  to  her  par- 
ents, and  Singapore,  and  finished 
her  Senior  year  at  Far  Eastern 
Academy. 

Itfore  going  overseas,  Wanda 
lived  at  La  Sierra,  California  for 
five  years.   The  first  eight  years 


of  her  life  were  spent  in  Canada, 
where  she  was  born  in  Alberta, 
September  24,  195G.

Wanda  is  glad  lier  sister  lives 
nearby.    'Ihere  are  quite  a  lew 
girls  who  are  feeling  lonely  as 
the  year  begins.    "In  fact,  I  know 
of  one  girl  who  hated  peanut  but- 
ter before  coming  here,  but  now 
she's  eating  it  in  the  shower. 
This  place  does  strange  things  to 
you.    Bit  I  do  like  it  here.    Fbr 
one  year  I  think  it's  really  nice." 

Wanda's  parents  are  in  Hong 
Kong  this  year.  Her  father  is 
the  business  Administrator  for 
the  South  China  Union  College. 
She  has  spent  two  monl'''  '" 
Hong  Kong  with   her   pai 


shopping." 
Wanda  loves  the  Far  Hist  and 
wouldn't  trade  those  years  of  her 
life  for  anything.  However,  she's 
glad  to  be  back  in  the  States  and 
attending  Southern  Missionary 
College. 


Student  Teachers  Implemented 


As  the  new  quarter  for  the  Sabbath 
School  lesson  starts,  so  starts  a  new 
kind  of  Sabbath  School  at  SMC.    The 
students  will  be  the  teachers  this  time 
around.    According  to  Dr.  Melvin  Camp- 
bell, Sabbath  School  sponsor,  the  idea 
was  very  well  received  and  enough 
students  volunteered  to  teach  to  im- 
plement this  plan.    Instruction  for  the 
new  teachers  is  being  planned.    There 
is  the  possibility  that  Elder  C.  D.  Brooks 
and  Dr.  Wilma  McClarty  will  be  the 
speakers  for  the  training  sessions. 

The  first  Sabbath  School,  held  on 
October  4,  featured  Elder  Frank  Hol- 
brook  for  the  lesson  study.    Eider  Hol-

On  October  25  llie  Woodruff  Family, 
a  musical  group  featuring  stringed  in- 
struments, will  present  the  Sabbath 
School  program.    Also  on  the  agenda 
for  future  Sabbath  School  programs  is 
Mrs.  Thelnia  Kotecki  presenting  on 
January  22,  "A  New  Dimension  in 
Witnessing,"  and  on  February  7,  Bob 
Zollinger  will  give  a  program  on  "Self 
Supporting  Work  in  the  South." 

All  in  all  the  Sabbath  Schools  for

cialion.  This  action  came,  Monday  evening, 
October  6.  following  a  presentation  of  the 
final  Hnancial  reporl  for  ihe  74-75  fiscal 
year,  and  the  current  Finance  Committee's 
presentation  of  a  proposed  budget,  both 
of  which  were  brought  lo  the  Senate 
floor  by  S.A.S.M.C.  Treasurer,  Larry  Lee. 

The  proposed  budget,  ratified  by  the 
Senate  covered  all  projected  expendit- 
ures by  Ihe  Student  Association  during 
the  current  fiscal  year.  Just  under  15% 
of  the  lotal  budget  was  appropriated  for 
administrative  expenses,  with  the  remain- 
ing 85%  allotted  for  the  actual  product- 
ion of  S.A.S.M.C.  programs,  activities, 
projects  and  publications.  The  budget 
included  an  assignment  of  S7,500 
lor  a  proposed  picnic  shelter  to  be  built 
in  the  Student  Park--a  project  that  has 
drawn  favorable  discussion  for  several 
years  and  which  was  recently  approved  by 
by  the  college's  Administrative  Council. 

On  the  heels  of  the  budget  ratifica- 
tion motion  and  approval,  came  two  ad- 
ditional motions  intended  to  give  direc- 
tion lo  the  specific  appropriation  of 
S7,500  for  an  S.A,  Picnic  Shelter 
Projecl. 


Whereas  the  total  cost  of  constru' 
might  well  exceed  the  allotment  of 
S7,500  ,  possibly  extending  as  high  a 


S  10,000,  the  Senate  unanimously  recom- 
mended to  the  college  Administrative 
Council  that  they  appropriate  addilional 
funds  for  the  project's  completion. 

The  response  from  ihe  Adminislralive 
Council  was  positive,  providing  that  if 
the  S.A.  would  appropriate  an  addilional 
51,000  to  the  projecl,  making  a  lolal  of 
S8,500  available  in  S.A.  funds,  that  Ihe 
college  would  assume  ihe  financial  res- 
ponsibility for  any  expenses  above  Ihe 
S8,500  mark. 

PROJECT  TO  BEGIN  IMMEDIATELY 

Along  with  the  motion  for  requesting 
additional  funds  from  the  college  admini- 
stration, the  senators  voted  unanimously 
in  favor  of  beginning  the  project  immedi- 
ately. Their  appointment  of  Elder  K.R. 
Davis  as  general  coordinator  of  the  con- 
struction project  seemed  a  natural  choice, 
considering  his  past  involvement  in  similar 
projects  as  well  as  the  thorough  work  he'd 
done  in  already  securing  the  plans,  bids,  and 
information  leading  up  lo  Ihe  Senate's 
decision  to  make  the  Student  Park  Shelter 
an  official  S.A.  project. 

Al  this  point  it  is  important  that  two 
facts  be  recognized.  First,  this  year's 
S.A.  budget  is  exceptionally  large  due  to 
over  SIO.OOO  in  surplus  funds.  It  is  not 
suggested  that  this  figure  represents  an 
average  for  future  S.A.  budgets. 

Second,  a  poriion  of  these  surplus

What  is  tlie  solution  or  solutions  then^Durmg 
Alumni  Weekend  a  vislor  who  had  been  an  RA  several 
years  ago  stayed  in  my  room.  It\vds  i2:30andnextdoor 
they  were  tiaving  a  jam  session  which  made  sleep  almost 
iiipossible.  "Wliy  when  I  was  here  tliere  were  ^Kakers 
in  the  liall ,"  he  said,  "and  anytime  there  \ras  noix 
a  monitor  wDuId  go  and  quiet  tiling  down." 

Altliougli  this  isn't  a  complete  solution,  I  do  tliink 
it  is  the  RAs'  responsibility  not  only  to  take  room  clieck 
and  keep  track  of  everyone  but  also  to  do  everything 
in  their  power  to  keep  things  down  to  a  dull  roar.  Tliis 
is  one  area  where  1  believe  tliey  could  improve.  So,  if 
you  arc  bothered  don't  just  mumble  under  your  breath 
how  inconaderate  your  neighbors  are-let  them  know 
you'd  appreciate  some  peace  and  quiet.  Ihen  if  they're 
decent  members  of  tlie  human  race  and  would  appreci- 
ate the  same  conaderation  when  you're  bodiering  them, 
they'll  tone  tiling  down. 

A  domi  is  a  dbnn,  not  a  convent,  and  as  long  as 
tliere  ore  several  hundred  young  people  filled  wjUi  vim 
vigor  and  vitality  living  in  tlie  same  building,  there  will 
be  times  wiien  it  seems  like  it  would  be  easier  to  sleep 
or  sh-idy  in  tlie  main  lobby  of  a  busy  airport  than  in 
your  room  But  even  at  tliis  if  everyone  would  remember 
to  follow  the  golden  rule  and  use  common  courtesy 
tlierc  would  be  lots  of  healthier  and  happier  students.

Dear  Mr.  Editor  and  other  Students: 

The  Southern  Memories  has  opened  lor 
anoiher  school  year.  For  those  of  you  who 
are  interested  in  finding  out  about  when 
Ihe  supplement  of  last  year's  annual  is  to 
be  ready,  Mr.  Joe  Rudd,  its  editor,  has  told 
iiic  liial  it's  at  the  publisher's  place  outside 
orNjshvillc-  Unfortunately  that's  all  we 
know  jboul  It.  It  may  be  in  soon,  and  as 
soon  js  il  arrives,  we  have  agreed  lo  dis- 
Inbule  il  lo  all  you  students. 

But.. .we  prefer  lo  talk  about  this  year's 
annual    Selections  of  art,  prose,  poetry. 
pholography,  cartoons  (we  have  a  terrific 
sense  of  humor),  and  everything  else  you 
tliink  may  interest  the  readers  of  the  year- 
book can  be  submitted  to  us  al  the  Memories 
office  in  Ihe  Student  center,  room  9. 
Several  people  have  already  submitted  use- 
ful pieces  of  poetry,  prose,  art,  and  pholo- 
graphy. All  entries  should  be  enclosed  in 
a  stamped,  white,  undressed  elephant  (we 
have  a  terrible  typist,  so  far).  Please,  if  you 
submit  sonictliing,  give  us  your  name  and 
phone  number.  Thanks. 

Also,  we've  noticed  that  some  people 
develop  a  strange  aversion  to  cameras 
when  they  think  their  picture  may  be  taken 


wilh  one.  This  phenomena  lias  been  i 
monslrated  by  us  numerous  times,  w, 
can  shoot  pictures  of  buildings  and  i. 
and  lots  of  other  things,  but  we  kmj , 
figured  you'd  like  some  sln>isof\u,

Accent,  will  be  attending  Ihe  Adventist 
Student  Press  Association  convention  which 
is  being  held  al  Union  College  this  year. 

He  says  that  the  purpose  of  Ihe  meeting 
IS,  "To  provide  an  open  forum  for  rep- 
resentatives of  Adventist  student  publi- 
cations lo  share  ideas  and  discuss  the  most 
pressing  problems  they  face  and  possible 
solutions  to  these  problems." 

He  feels  that  this  convention  will  stimulate 
his  thinking  and  hopefully  will  give  him 
constructive  and  practical  ideas  to  use  in  im- 
proving Ihe  Soiiilicrii  Accent

Over  a  month  ago  our  Sabbaih  School 
kicked  off  our  Branch  Sabbaih  School

evangelism,  and  the  Iremendous  soul-

Sabbaih  School  program,  il  was  our  endeav- 
or to  turn  our  vast  "polential  energy"  inio

Everyone   Wins 
In   Talent   Program 

The  SA  Talent  Program  will  be  held 
November  8  al  8:00  p.m.  in  the  Physical 
Education  Centex. 

Featured  talent  will  include  comical 
skits,  dramalical  readings,  and  musical 
numbers  both  vocal  and  instrumental. 

The  program  has  been  planned  with  the 
idea  of  being  entertaining.  The  participants 
will  nol  be  in  competition  with  each  other 
so  no  individual  prizes  will  be  awarded. 
However,  the  entire  cast  will  be  taken  to  an 
undisclosed  restaurant  in  Chattanooga  fol- 
lowing the  program. 

SA  Social  Director,  Verbelee  Nielsen, 
commented  that  student  interest  has  been 
great  and  some  talented  students  will  be 
performing.  She  feels  Ihe  program  will 
conlain  enough  variety  so  thai  everyone's 
should  be  included. 


Sauna  Will 
Be  Fixed 


The  sauna  in  the  basement  of  Talge  Hall 
is  presently  inoperable,  but  according  to 
Dean  Schlisner,  the  Engineering  DepartmenI 
will  have  il  fexed  in  a  few  days. 

In  order  lo  understand  the  cause  of  Ihe 
breakdown  a  few  basic  principles  on  how 
the  sauna  works  need  to  be  explained.  Il 
is  the  dry  heat  type,  and  the  heat  is  generated 
by  electrical  wires  which  run  throughout  the 
boxed-shaped,  heat  generator.  These  wires 
heat  up  Ihe  rocks  which  lie  in  a  pan-case 
structure  on  lop  of  Ihe  generator.  These 
rocks  in  turn  heal  the  air. 

In  the  past,  some  have  thrown  water  on 
the  sauna  to  make  steam.  This  does  work. 
Sleam  and  more  heal  are  generated   but  in 
the  process,  some  of  ihe  water  has  not  evap- 
orated before  it  reached  Hie  wiresjusi  inside 
the  generator.  The  result  is  thai  the  hot 
wires  burned  oul  and  cracked.  This  is  the 
cause  of  the  current  break-down. 

According  to  Dean  Evans,  "After  the 
sauna  is  repaired,  village  students  who  be- 
long lo  the  Talge  Hall  Health  Club  will  be 
i  use  Ihe  sauna  along  with  ihc  olhcr

Mayor  Fred  Fuller,  Commissioners  Wayne 
VandeVcre,  Walter  HerreU,  and  William  Mc- 
Ghinnis  presented  the  History  Club  program 
in  tlie  Banquet  Room  of  the  cafeteria  on 
Wednesday  evening,  October  15.  at  5:45  p.m. 
They  said  that  Uie  population  of  Collcgedale 
is  now  approximately  3500.  Sources  of  in- 
come for  the  city  are  the  sales  tax,  gasoline 
tax,  property  tax,  and  beer  tax.  The  city 
operates  on  a  budget  of  about  5200,000 
per  year.  I U  biggest  expense  is  roads,  and 
S700,000  has  been  spent  on  roads  since 
the  city  was  incorporated. 
The  lotal  indebledness  of  the  city  is  be- 
veen  S760,000  and  $780,000.  This  con- 
sts  of  bonds  to  be  paid.  Continuing  costs 
of  the  city  are  in  the  retirement  of  the  debt, 
lice,  the  roads,  garbage  collection  and 
1  operating  expenses  of  maintaining  the 

The  City  Manager,  who  is  Mr.  Lee  Holland, 
receives  a  salary  of  512,000  per  year  while 
the  secretary  lo  the  City  Manager  who  is  also 
the  City  Recorder.  Mrs.  Gladys  Mather,  re- 
ceives about  S7000. 

Southern  Missionary  College  is  titled  to 
the  Southern  Union.  As  a  non-pront  ed- 
ucational inslilution  il  is  not  taxable.  How- 
ever, SMC  pays  to  Ihe  City  of  Collegedale 
an  amount  equivalent  to  die  property  tax 
il  would  be  charged  if  it  were  taxable.  Thus, 
it  cooperates  with  the  city  financially  and 
in  many  other  ways  as  well.  An  example  is 
the  light  near  the  Gymnasium  installed  by 
the  city  at  the  request  of  the  college.  The 
sidewalk  from  the  Academy  to  the  Gym- 
nasium was  another  cooperative  project. 
Since  SMC  is  the  largest  non-profil  organ- 
ization in  llie  city  and  since  Collegedale 
without  SMC  would  be  unthinkable,  it 
follows  thiit  there  needs  lo  be  close  coop- 
eration between  the  city  government  and 


the  college.  Such  cooperalion  will  benefit 

SMC  and  the  city.  The  July  4  cele- 
bration is  another  area  where  there  has 
been  continuing  cooperation. 
Mayor  Fuller  said  that  students  who  live 
ere  six  months  can  register  lo  vole  m 
Collegedale  elections  by  going  downtown 
the  Election  Commission  or  by  waitmg 
until  there  is  registration  here  in  College- 
dale.  Such  registration  takes  place  period- 
ically before  local  election.  He  strongly 
urged  SMC  sludents  to  register  and  vote. 
He  stressed  that  SMC  students  are  invited 
lo  attend  City  Council  meetings  which  are 
held  on  the  Tirst  and  third  Mondays  of 
each  month  al  City  Hall  al  7  p.m. 

It  is  anticipated  ihat  work  will  begin 
shortly  on  the  moving  of  the  gas  line, 
the  S80,000  project  which  caused  the 
city  to  assess  a  S5.00  car  sticker  on  each 
Collegedale  driver.  It  is  hoped  that  the 
road  can  be  completed  by  the  end  of  1976. 

We  invite  your  attendance  at  future 
History  Club  meetings.  The  next  scheduled 
event  is  Ihe  showing  of  "The  Great  Loco- 
motive Chase"  on  Saturday  night,  November 
1,  at  8  p.m.  in  the  Cafeteria.  The  admission 
fee  will  be  only  SOt,  and  ihe  event  is  open 
al!  SMC  students,  faculty,  and  staff  and 
their  families. 

Also  projected  for  the  future  are  several 
guest  speakers:  Dr.  Cecil  Rolfe  talking 
on  inflation  and  recession  on  December  3, 
Mayor  Pat  Rose  of  Chattanooga  on  Jan- 
uary 12,  Senator  Ray  Albright  on  April 
12.  and  the  British  Consul  in  Atlanta, 
speaking  on  the  American  Revolution 
from  the  British  standpoint  at  a  date  lo  be 
determined.  If  you  will  watch  Ihe  Campus 
Accent  you  will  see  notices  of  these  var- 
ious meetings.

CAFETERIA  PUTS  THE  BITE  ON  SMC  STUDENTS* 


Southern  Missionary  College 

Collegcdalt,  Tennessee    37315 


has  caused  heads  to  sliake  and  wallets 
(0  shrink.    Ronald  Grange,  the  food 
service  director,  admits  that  mosl  of  tiic 
complaints  students  make  about  (he 
cafeteria  are  not  on  the  quality  of  the 
food  bui  on  (he  cost, 

Bui  he  explains.  "Contrary  to  what 
some  siudenls  feel,  the  cafeteria  is  not 
oui  ii>  make  money.    It  is  provided  as 
a  sLTviLe  t(»  the  students,  and  all  we 
\v,irii  111  do  is  lo  break  even.    Last 
ycjr  liuciiuse  of  the  fluctuating  costs 
ai  ilio  end  of  the  year,  the  college  had 
lo  suh^iili/e  llie  food  service  to  a 
laiiii'  decree.     We're  not  planning 
Oil  tins  happening  this  year." 

I  \k  major  cost  increases  have  been 
in  ihc  entrees  and  desserts.    Worthing- 
toit  and  Loma  Linda,  the  producers 
ot  iliL-  health-food  products  which  are 
icnsively  in  (he  entrees,  raised 
[their  prices,  but  according  to  Grange 
Jiey  have  also  cancelled  the  inslitut- 
bnal  discount  they  used  to  give.    He 
[Opes  that  because  of  increased  com- 
■  ")n  in  this  area  prices  might  go 
slightly.   General  Mills  has  en- 
[etcd  the  marketjbut  it's  too  early 
0  determine  the  results  this  will 
.   For  example  a  36  oz.  can  of 
ler  Bits  cost  the  cafeteria  S1.09 
ist  year,  and  presently  it  costs  SI.56. 
Many  of  the  forzen  desserts  such 
chocolate  eclairs  and  pecan  pie  will 
ve  lo  be  discontinued,  "Because," 
lys  Grange,  "if  the  wholesale  price 
les  were  passed  on  to  the  stu- 
llicyjust  plain  wouldn't  be

full-time  wages  have  increased  by

we've  cut  back  as  far  as  possible  on 
labor.  Any  further  cut-backs  would

When  ask.d  num-iki  n\ii  lud  con- 
charge  Grange  said  dial  this  had  been 
discussed  but  that  any  change  would 
be  up  to  the  College  Board.  Then  he 
went  on  to  explain  several  of  the  dif- 
ferences such  a  system  entails. 

For  those  who  think  a  flat-rate 
system  would  enable  them  to  eat 
the  same  food  that  cost  them  SI20 
under  itemized  charging  for  S90  they 
are  sadly  mistaken.    "The  biggest  dif- 
ference under  a  flat-rate  system  '     ' 
iimpier  meals  are  served,"  explained 


that 


such  as  vegetables  which  students  can 
eat  all  they  want  of.    Many  items  like 
the  nuts  would  disappear  from  the 
serving  line,  and  others  like  yogurt 
wouldn't  be  available  nearly  as  often," 

He  then  went  on  to  say  that  if 
students  were  more  selective  now  they 
could  cut  down  on  their  bill.    Although 
many  items  have  gone  up,  vegetables 
are  actually  2  cents  cheaper  now  than 

Also  the  Hat-rale  system  is  based  on 
a  certain  percentage  of  absenteeism.  If 
everyone  went  to  every  meal  the  charge

they  eat  smaller  quantities  it  is  figured

really  works  on  young  people,  and  the 
devil  joins  right  in  doing  his  part.    I 
just  don't  understand  what  this  kind 

of  a  Christian  College. 

..a  bit  old  fashioned. 


Dear  Editor, 

After  having  given  the  matter  con- 
siderable thought,  1  have  become  con- 
vinced that  the  so-called  alter  call  is 
not  only  unfair  but  wrong.    Let  me 

All  those  ill  the  congregation  who 
have  dedicated  themselves  to  God  will 
not  affect  tlieir  relationship  with  Him 
whether  they  respond  to  a  call,  stay 


seated  or  walk  ( 


0  for  them  calls 


But  the  remainder,  who  are  not 
ready  lo  accept  Christ,  are  faced  with 
the  choice  of  publically  acting  a  lie  or 
making  a  spectacle  of  themselves  if  they 


are  honest  enougli  to  remain  sealed 
What  kind  of  choice  is  that? 

It's  argued  that  a  call  gives  a  new 
convert  a  chance  to  publically  affirm 
his  decision.   But  isn't  Ihal  why  we  have 
baptism?     Again,  it's  maintained  that 
a  call  may  give  just  the  impetus  a  m- 
vering  individual  needs  to  make  his  de- 
cision.   Are  wavering  decisions  desirable'' 
Doesn't  this  type  of  convert  often  fall  ' 
into  apostasy  within  a  short  time? 

Incidentally,  there's  an  interesting 
sidelight  to  tliis  thesis.   If  I  believe  calk 
are  wrong,  then  it  is  hypocrisy  for  nie  lu 
condone  them  by  participating  in  them. 
Since  hypocrisy  is  a  sin,  it  follows  thai 
if  I  stand  in  response  to  a  call  I  am 
sinning.    And  I  don't  think  it  should 
ever  be  wrong  for  nie  to  declare  my 
faith.

Knittel  Returns  from  Council 


President  Frank  Knittel  recently 
returned  from  the  denomination's 
Fall  Council  held  at  General  Confcr- 
Headquarters  in  Takoma  Park, 
Maryland. 

~'  etc  were  no  great,  dramatic 
for  the  council  at  the  1975 
ssion,  according  to  President 
Knittel.   A  good  many  people  were 
anticipating  a  discussion  on  the  ordina- 


1  of  y 


been  working  on  this,  but  a  report  i 

ady  foi  the  Fall  Council.    Another 
commitlee  has  been  working  on  the 
questions  of  distribution  of  lithe  money, 
well  as  the  whole  matter  of  divorce 
d  remarriage  among  Seventh-day 
Advcnlisls.   The  committees  working 
hese  issues  are  preparing  formal 
s.   These  were  nol  ready  for  the 
Fa'll  Council. 

Allhougli  the  cost  of  living  index 
:e  a  great  deal  during  this  past  year, 
i  also  during  the  last  few  months, 
the  Fall  Council  finally  authorized  only 
small  increase  in  wages.    There  is  a 
eat  feeling  that  we  all  need  to  be 
rry  much  concerned  about  church 
finances  and  that  we  need  to  make 
that  the  rcnumeralion  of  denomi- 
mal  employees  does  not  lend  to 
■  along  merely  because 


rclircment  program  for  denomi- 
national employees  was  modified  only 
sliglilly,  and  no  substantial  changes 
Iwere  made.    There  were  no  significant 
lalteraiions  of  basic  church  policies  or 


programs,  and  the  total  tone  of  the 
Fall  Council  was  quite  low  key.   One 
could  not  help  but  be  impressed,  how- 
ever, with  the  fact  that  althougli  dif- 
ferences of  opinion  were  expressed, 
there  is  increasing  evidence  that  there 
is  continuing  and  increasing  unity 
within  the  basic  church  structure. 

The  Seventh-day  Advcntist  Church 
annually  has  a  Fall  Council  which  con- 
ducts most  of  the  continuing  business 
of  the  church.    It  is  the  resnon'^ibiiilv 
of  (he  General  Conference,  in  session 
every  five  years,  to  establish  the  gen- 
eral structure  of  the  church  and  ihe 
various  departments  within  the  church. 
1 1  is  not  feasible  to  have  a  total  General 
Conference  session  every  year,  and  yet 
there  is  a  considerable  amount  of  busi- 
ness that  needs  to  be  conducted  annually. 
For  this  purpose,  the  Fall  Council  is 
convened  each  autumn  in  order  to  take 
care  of  business  items  that  must  be 
attended  to  at  frequent  intervals. 

Each  fall,  representation  includes 
the  division  presidents  from  all  the 
!as  divisions,  together  with  other 
overseas  officers  on  a  rotating 
In  North  America  the  represen- 
tation at  Fall  Council  includes  the  presi- 
dents of  all  of  the  conferences  and 
i,  the  presidents  of  the  colleges 
liversilies,  heads  of  the  pubhshing 
houses,  heads  of  other  major  institutions 
operated  either  directly  by  the  General 
Conference  or  by  the  union.   The  atten- 
dance at  the  Fall  Council  is  usually 
about  200.   A  list  of  delegates  to  the 
Fall  Council  is  drawn  up, by  the  General 
Conference

Insight  Announces  Contest 


The  editors  oUnsighi  are  pleased  to 
announce  the  1976  Short  Story  Contest. 
Cash  prizes  will  total  SyOO  and  will 


include  a  S500  grand  award. 

The  contest  is  open  to  both  student 
and  professional  writers.    Separate  judgine 
will  be  done. 

The  first  place  award  is  S250,  second 
place  S200.  and  third  SI 50  for  each 
category  -  professional  and  student 
There  will  be  one  S500  grand  prize.    In 
addition,  other  stories  will  be  purchased 
at  Insight's  regular  rates. 

Insight  is  looking  for  stories  that  il- 
luminate some  aspect  of  Christian  life 
found  in  witnessing  experiences,  social 
relationships,  parent-children  encounters, 
school  life,  young  married  situations, 
man-God  encounters,  and,  frankly,  any 
story  that  deals  with  the  religious  dimen- 
sion.   But  this  does  not  mean  an  obvious, 
preachy,  moralizing,  kind  of  conclusion. 

We  are  currently  overstocked  with 
I'enfant  terrible,  or  the  struggles  of  a 
youthful  rebel  type  stories.  We  none- 
theless recognize  that  occasionally  such 
1  story,  while  painful,  can  provide  a  mir- 
or  of  ourselves  that  can  have  a  positive 
esult.   Such  stories  should  indicate  why 
.  person  left  the  church  and  why  he 

Short  stories  submitted  for  this  con- 
est  should  be  short.    No  more  than 
800  words. 

All  stories  should  be  based  on  actual 
vents.  The  writer  may  change  names, 
and  juxtapose 


for  purposes  of  dramatic  i; 
terest.  However,  the  thrust  of  the  story 
must  square  with  reaUty  seen  from  some 
Christian  viewpoint. 

U  is  essential  for  writers  lo  keep  in 
mind  that  every  short  story  contains 
conflict  in  some  form.   The  judges  will 
be  looking  for  it  in  action  that  builds 
o  a  climax  and  denouement.   Student

Circle  K,  the  junior  division  of  the

According  to  Duane  Anderson,  pre 
president  of  the  SMC  Circle  K,  said 
that  some  43  cars  were  washed  by 
some  15  club  members  in  front  of 
Wright  Hall  last  Friday.  Cars  were 
washed,  dried  and  vacuumed. 

Funds  raised  will  go  toward  Commun- 
ity Services.  President  Anderson  could 
lot  be  definite  on  exactly  what.

When  seleciing  their  story,  writers 
must  keep  in  mind  that  Insight's  pri- 
mary audience  ranges  from  16  to  25. 
Younger  readers  tend  to  appreciate 
simpler  stories  that  highlight  action  anc 
adventure.    Older  readers Trequently 
enjoy  subtle  stories  that  emphasize  re- 
lationships, decision  making,  and  cover 
the  complexities  of  living  successfully 
in  the  70's. 

Most  winning  short  stories  develop 
one  incident  through  characters  skill- 
fully drawn,  througii  dialogue,  and 
effective  portrayal  of  mood 


Most  unsuccessful  short  st< 
lack  a  central  incident  or  story  line  and 
end  up  becoming  just  a  telling. 

The  judges  will  use  five  criteria  in  eval- 
uating manuscripts:    (1)   spiritual  value 
of  insight  gained;  (2)    character  descriptior 

(3)  use  of  language  and  believable  dialogue 

(4)  artistry;    mood,  place,  sensory  appeal, 
choice  of  appropriate  detail;  (5)   develop-

Fire   Department   Busy 

Members  of  the  Tri-Community  Fire 
Department  may  speed  away  from  the 
fire  station  by  McKee  Baking  Company. 
Plant  I,  as  many  as  2,400  tunes  a  year, 
responding  to  calls  of  distress. 

Most  of  these  runs,  1200-1600,  involve 
the  ambulance  service  the  fire  depart- 
ment operates.   Even  so,  one  or  the 
other,  or  both  of,  the  two  1,000  gallon- 
per-minute  American  LaFrance  pumpers 
housed  at  the  station  roar  away  from  Ihe 
bays  approxunaleiy  800  times  a  year. 

The  great  majority  of  these  responses 
answer  real  fires  or  other  emergency 
situations.   But  the  fire  department  es- 
timates that  eight  lo  ten  per  cent  of 
the  calls  it  answers  turn  out  to  be  "MFA's' 
(Malicious  False  Alarms). 


Dear  students  and  faculty,  .i|^ 

I'm  sorry  about  (he  consternalion 
resulting  from  the  recent  add  in  the 
Accent  concerning  research  papers.    It 
was  an  add  that  came  in  the  mail,  and 
after  looking  it  over  I  felt  that  it  was 
offering  research  assistance  rather  than 
wholesale  cheating.   But  after  looking 
at  it  more  closely  with  retrospective 
wisdom,  I  realize  that  the  student  who 
would  write  in  for  this  information 
would  not  be  seeking  supplemental  re- 
search material  but  a  completed  paper.

This  column  will  be  taking  a  look  at 
each  of  these  phases  over  the  next  sev- 
eral weeks.  Though  the  possibility  exists 
that  some  readers  will  find  nothing  they 
did  not  already  know,  il  is  the  hope  and 
prayer  of  this  writer  that  many  will  stop 
and  take  a  look  al  some  of  their  health 
habits,  and  the  benefits  will  ensue  physical- 
ly, mentally,  and  spiritually. 

Until  next  week,  spend  a  little  time 
pondering  these  statements: 

"When  students  leave  college  Ihey 
should  have  better  health  and  a 
belter  understanding  of  the  laws 
of  life  than  when  Ihey  enter  it. 
The  health  should  be  as  sacredly 
guarded  as  the  character."

It's  happened  in  every  age  -  leaders  arise, 
people  follow  mob-like  after  their  words, 
and  symbols  come  lo  characterize  those 
leaders  and  groups  of  disciples. 

r  founding  fathers,  200  years  ago, 
the  symbols  were  a  broken  bell  and  an 
unbroken  circle  of  thirteen  stars  on  a 
background  of  blue.  Thousands  of  pa- 
triotic citizens  marched  through  the 
of  western  Europe  inspired  by 
their  leader's  enthusiasm  and  his  myster- 

swastika.  In  the  latter  half  of  the 
twentieth-century  other  symbols  have 
emerged.  Everything  from  station  wagons 

food  and  tiolet-bowl  cleaner  may 
be  purchased  with  full  assurance  that  these 
products  will  enhance  one's  sexuality. 

As  he  took  his  last  meal  with  a  few  of 
his  closest  friends,  many  things  must  have 
passed  through  the  mind  of  Jesus  -  con- 
templating what  symbols,  what  credentials 

iglit  leave  for  his  followers  ~  some 
token  by  which  others  would  know  that 
they,  indeed,  were  Ihe  true  followers  of 
the  Christ. 

He  glanced  into  the  future  and  observed 
i;  cross  thai  he  would  mount  the  fol- 
lowing day.  There  it  was  ■  decorating 
the  shields  and  banners  of  men  marching 

against  their  fellow  men.  Could 
this  be  the  symbol?    He  looked  further 
the  distant  future  and  surveyed  an 
urban  avenue.  Signs  lined  the  boulevard, 
each  bearing  a  symbol.  Some  depicted 
a  cross,  others  a  fish,  some  a  cluster  of 
angels,  some  a  star,  while  other  signs  were 
shaped  like  liglithouses,  and  behind  each 
one  stood  a  building  where  people  met 
to  extol  the  virtues  of  their  particular 
symbol  to  the  exclusion  of  the  others

There  is  one  other  area  also-BAN-

our  food  service  is  supposedly  available 
to  supplement  the  service  provided  for 
the  students.  In  other  words,  banquets 
arc  an  instrument  designed  to  take  up 
some  of  the  loss  incurred  by  the  cafe- 
teria, I  wonder  just  how  possible  this 
is  with  the  expenditure  evident  by  ban-

things  necessary  for  banquets;  but  some 
things  just  are  not.  Last  year  there  were 
whiskey  barrels  purchased  to  cut  in  half 
and  serve  green  salad  in.  These  items 
are  very  expensive.  Tliey  looked  real

delicately.  But  there  were  salad  bowls 
in  the  cupboard  which  would  have  ser-

would  like  to  say  one  thing  further.  We

schools  in  which  I  have  eaten.  Obviously 
there  will  be  problems  in  any  organization, 
and  since  this  hits  us  all,  I  decided  to  ex- 
press some  of  my  thoughts.

THE    BATTLE  OF  VERSIONS 


There  is  no  question  but  that  the  Word 
of  God  is  abounding.  In  English,  the  Word 
has  been  abounding  at  the  rate  of  2  14  new 
translations  a  year.  There  has  arisen  a  gene- 
ration that  knows  not  King  James.  Yet, 
amidst  the  plethora  of  modern  versions  on 
the  market  today,  none  has  attained  the 
status  of  the  authorized  version.  Those 
who  have  been  seeking  a  guide  to  orient 
them  in  choosing  a  Bible  now  have  that 
guidance  in  So  Many  Versions  (Zonder- 
van.  1975,  pap.  S2.95)  by  Sakae  Kubo 
and  Walter  Specht,  professors  at  Andrews 


sity. 


Several  scholarly  examinations  of  the 
major  versions  have  been  pubhshed;  this 
is  the  most  complete  and  up-to-date.  Si- 
gnificantly, it  is  also  one  of  the  first  books 
written  by  Adventist  scholars  to  De  puD- 
lished  by  an  evangelical  publisher  such  as 
Zondervan  (Evangelicals  have  always  clas- 
sed SDA's  as  a  cult  along  with  Jehovah's 
Witnesses,  Christian  Scientists  and  Mor- 
mons, but  this  position  is  being  relaxed). 
Besides  the  in-deplh  evaluation  of  19  of 
the  most  important  versions,  the  book 
includes  an  appendix  listing  131  versions 
publisiied  since  1900  not  important  en- 
ougli  to  merit  a  complete  chapter  with 
brief  annotations.  The  book  is  conclud- 
ed with  a  chapter  on  guidelines  for  sel- 
ecting a  version.  In  the  back  there  is  a 
separate  bibliography  for  each  chapter. 
Unfortunately  there  are  no  indexes. 

THE  NEW  VERSES  THE  OLD 

Conservative  evangelicals  have  not 
always  hailed  the  new  versions  with  joy 
and  rejoicing.  When  tlie  Revised  Stan- 
dard Version  first  appeared,  one  pastor 
burned  it  in  his  pulpit  on  Sunday  morn- 
ing(what  belter  way  to  induce  every 
person  in  the  congregation  to  purchase 
a  copy!).  Typical  of  this  type  of  at- 
titude are  such  titles  as  Good  News  Fur 
Modern  Man  :  The  Devil's  Masterpiece 
and  77ic'  New  English  Bible  :  Satan 's 
Polluted  Translation.   Probably  these 
folks  are  not  aware  that  similar  con- 
troversy greeted  the  arrival  in  1611  of 
the  King  James  Version,  which  was  call- 
ed a  heretical  translation  that  would  per- 
vert the  faith  of  the  people. 

Why  do  we  need  new  translations  any- 
way? The  authors  list  three  main  reasons: 
new  discoveries  of  older  manuscripts,  arch- 
eological  discoveries  which  shed  liglil  on 
the  meaning  of  the  text,  and  the  process 
of  change  witliJn  the  English  language, 
in  which  old  words  become  obsolete,  etc. 
These  factors  will  continue  to  operate  in 


the  authors. 

The  King  James  Version  (KJV)  was 
a  monument  of  English  Prose,  yet  those 
who  have  grown  up  with  it  can  hardly 
realize  how  extremely  difficult  it  can  be 
to  understand  today.  The  KJV  contains 
over  a  thousand  obsolete  words  and  not 
a  few  indecipherable  passages.  For  ex- 
ample, what  does  Paul  mean  in  2  Cor. 

ye  are  straitened  in  your  own  bowels"? 

ddk  bnglish  might  t-xpecl  Paul  to  go  on 
and  prescribe  a  good  laxative  in  the  next 
verse;  but  Paul  is  actually  protesting  the 
Corinthians'  coldness  toward  him.  And 
why  does  Paul  claim  in  Phil.  3: 20  thai 


"Our  conversalion  is  in  heaven"?  Has 
Paul  been  dialoguing  with  angels? No, 
he  means  "Our  citizenship  is  in  heaven." 
Really,  God's  Word  should  not  be  made 
any  more  cryptic  than  necessary.  The 
authors  fear  that  "There  is  a  grave  dan- 
ger that  the  continued  use  of  this  ver- 
sion may  ^ve  modern  man  the  impre- 
ssion that  the  Bible  belongs  to  another 
age,  and  that  it  is  irrelevant  to  the  tw- 
entieth century."  A  note  of  caution 
might  be  in  order  here,  however,  to 
ministerial  students,  who  will  find  that 
tlie  KJV  is  still  dear  to  the  hearts  of 
many  in  their  congregations,  and  it 
may  be  necessary  to  use  it  in  the  pulpit 
(and  the  authors  recommend  this)  and 
when  working  with  fundamentalist  ev- 
angelicals from  other  denominations. 

Those  used  to  the  KJV  are  in  for 
some  surprises  when  they  turn  to  the 
modern  versions,  which  sometimes 
agree  unanimously  against  the  KJV  in 
certain  passages.  It  is  a  bit  disconcert- 
ing, for  instance,  to  learn  that  what 
sounds  like  a  noble  expression  of  faith 
on  Job's  part  in  the  KJV  ("Though  He 
slay  me,  yet  will  I  trust  in  Him,"  Job 
13:15)  actually  means  something  like 
this:  "God  may  kill  me  for  this,  but 
I  intend  to  argue  my  case  with  Him." 
There  are  also  otiier  passages  in  Job 
where  the  KJV  translators  softened 
Job's  complaints  against  God,  painting 
his  faith  in  rosier  hues  than  it  really 
was.  Also  disconcerting  is  the  disappear- 
ance of  such  a  promise  as  "When  the 
enemy  shall  come  in  like  a  fiood,  the 
Spirit  of  the  Lord  shall  lift  up  a  stand- 
ard against  him"  (Isa.  59:19),  which  is 
simply  a  mis-translation. 

Not  all  changes  are  so  discouraging, 
however.  Often  difficulties  are  resolved, 
as  in  Lk.  2: 14,  where  the  angels  sing  of 
Christ  bringing  "Peace  on  earth,  j 


ardmen"(KJV).  But 


a  scrolls  have  shed  n 


making  the  peace  pertain  only  to  Chr- 
ist's followers  and  resolving  tne  contr- 
adiction. There  are  many  similar  im- 

There  were  also  a  number  of  pass-  ^^1 
ages  in  the  KJV  of  dubious  validity  ' 

which  have  been  deleted  or  relegated 
to  footnotes  in  the  newer  versions, 
such  as  I  John  5:7,  probably  the  strong- 
est trinitarian  passage  in  the  Bible,  which, 
unfortunately,  was  not  in  the  Bible  until 
it  was  inserted  there  in  the  middle  ages. 
But  rest  assured  that,  with  aU  the  chan- 

fes.  Adventist  doctrine  remains  intact, 
eventh-day  Adventism  does  not  rise 
or  fall  with  any  one  version.

Proposed  plans  for  redisgning  the  Student  Center  lobby 


*  Knittel  Raises  Funds  For  TICF 


Presidertl  Frank  Knittel  raised  funds 
.Or  tlic  Tennessee  Independent  College 
Fund  in  Johnson  City  and  Knoxvilie 
November  10-12. 

The  TICF  is  a  group  of  20  accredited 
four-year  private  colleges  which  have  band- 
ed together  to  raise  funds.  Although  there 
has  been  some  sort  of  fund  raising  for  the 
past  20  years,  just  two  years  ago  the  east 
and  west  areas  of  Tennessee  which  had 
been  under  separate  organizations  got 
logeihei.  This  is  when  SMC  was  invited 

Almost  every  state  has  a  similar  plan, 
but  Tennessee  is  one  of  the  more  active 
Ust  year  TICF  had  the  highest 
1  increase  which  resulted  in  receiv- 
mg special  grants  from  IBM  and  Levi 

Each  year  all  of  the  college  presidents 
spend  five  days  soliciting  funds  from  bus- 
^Tt  ,^[','"^'  solicited  in  Johnson  City 
With  Jack  Nipper,  an  insurance  executive 
and  Tom  Bach,  the  manager  of  the  John-' 
«>"  Lily  Uvi  Strauss  plant.  Harry  Car- 
michael,  president  of  the  Ira  Watson  store 
«iam  accompanied  him  in  Knoxvilie. 
Km  teUays  that  they  were  cordially  re- 
ceived and  were  successful  in  raising  a 
P«">c>n  of  the  5300,000  goal  for  1975 
Th.s,S3S60,000increase  from  last  year's 

Porty  percent  of  the  money  raised 


will  be  divided  into  20  equal  units,  and 
the  other  60  %  is  divided  proportionally 
according  to  enrollment.  Although  Vander- 
buLlt  is  the  largest  private  school,  only 


tage  of  funds.  Because  of  this  SMC  w 
receive  the  largest  sum  of  money. 

According  to  Knittel.  "If  the  3300,000 
goal  is  raised,  we'll  get  between  S 1 6,000 
andSI8,000."    He  went  on  to  explain 
that  this  money  is  not  to  be  used  for  build- 
ing but  for  the  general  operating  costs. 
It  would  also  be  available  for  scholarships. 
He  said  that  at  the  present  time  the  ad- 
ministration has  no  idea  on  how  the  money 
will  be  spent,  and  that  SMC  won't  receive 
any  money  until  next  spring. 

The  budget  for  private  higlier  education 
is  just  as  hi^  as  the  amount  the  stale  spends 
on  the  public  colleges  and  universities,  there- 
fore according  to  Knittel  private  education 
plays  a  very  important  role  in  Tennessee. 
If  all  of  the  private  colleges  were  to  sud- 
denly shut  down  the  increase  in  tax  dol- 
lars that  would  have  to  be  spent  on  educatioir 
would  be  measured  in  millions  of  dollars. 

Knittel  says  that"hopefully  in  three 
or  four  years  the  amount  of  money 
solicited  by  TICF  will  reach  one 
million  dollars."

Nielson  Appointed  Coordinator

The  lobby  has  been  much  criticized  as 
"too  cold,"  "sterile,"  having  a  "waiting 
room"  atmosphere,  and  receiving  a  min-

The  project  includes  plans  for  raised 
platfonns  in  strategic  locations  which  will 
be  psycologically  subdivided  with  planters, 
shelves  and  furniture.  This  will  allow  couples 
and  small  groups  to  hold  conversations  with- 
out feeling  conspicuous,  Ms.  Nielson  explained. 

She  emphasized  that  the  plan  was  not  her 
idea,  but  had  been  done  as  a  project  for  a 
class  in  Interior  Design  by  a  student  who 
wishes  to  be  anonymous. 

Projected  costs  of  the  design  changes  are

Cutting  Cafeteria  Costs 


The  Food  Service  Management  students 
have  a  dual  interest  in  the  recent  discus- 
sions regarding  cafeteria  prices.  As  stu- 
dents, they  watch  their  money,  as  food 
offers  a  variety  of  kidney  beans,  lentils, 
baked  beans,  and  others  at  the  price  of 
a  vegetable,  not  the  price  of  an  entree. 

What  about  desserts?  Most  of  us 
would  do  well  to  avoid  lliem  90%  of 
the  time;  and  subtract  the  cost  from 
our  bill.  Try  an  extra  serving  of  bread 
or  vegetable  or  a  salad,  instead  of  the 
more  expensive,  sweet  dessert.   While 
we're  talking  about  sweets-look  at  the 
beverages  you  drink.  Juice  and  milk 
give  more  nutrition,  often  at  a  lower 
cost  than  the  soft  drinks.   Of  course, 
you  don't  have  to  drink  with  your 
meals  at  all. 

Consider  eating  two  meals  a  day- 
it's  difficult  to  eat  as  much  in  two 
meals  as  three.   Consider  keeping 
some  food  in  your  room  (or  brown- 
bag  it  to  tlie  cafe  to  cat  with  your 
friends).  Ajar  of  peanut  butler,  a  loaf 
of  bread  or  fresh  fruit  are  easy  to  keep 
on  hand,    if  you  have  a  refrigerator, 
keep  some  milk  and  granola. 

To  summarize,  choose  simple  foods, 
be  moderate  (temperate!)  and  plan 
ahead.    Budget  your  food  dollar.    Dial- 
a-mcnu,  so  you  know  in  advance  what 
to  plan.  Above  all-look  at  the  alterna- 
tives. Good  nutrition  can  often  be 
obtained  for  less  money:    substitute 
legumes  for  entree,  milk  for  sofi  drinks 


and  juice,  bread  instead  of  rolls,  fruit 
or  salad  instead  of  dessert;  buy  some 
tilings  at  the  VM.  Many  people  keep 
their  food  bill  between  S40-80  a  monti 
You  can  too~if  you  choose  carefully.

"li  vouVe  got  (he  money,  why  not 
spend  It,  and  if  you  don'i-welUmd  some 

way  lo  spend  it  anyway."    Or.    Sure.  I  m 
all  for  it;  at  least  I  think  I  am.     Or. 
"I  don't  really  care,  but  don't  worry. 
I'll  vote  yes." 

Tlie  government  has  had  this  bug  lor 
a  long  time,  lots  of  American  families 
have  it,  and  I'm  afraid  SMC  has  some 
serious' symptoms.  I  call  it  the  "spend 
the  money"  syndrome. 

Our  SA  budget  is  almost  $20,000  more 
than  Andrev^s  University's,  and  we  seem 
more  than  willing  to  spend  $1,000  here 
and  $1,000  there  without  a  momenl's 
hesitation.  ,     ,    .    . 

As  Acteni  editor,  I  was  on  the  budget 
committee  which  voted  on  this  year's 
budget  belore  sending  it  to  the  senate. 
and  just  like  everyone  else,  I  nonchalantly 
voted  yes  for  every  proposition.    Unanimous 
votes  may  be  a  sign  of  unity,  but  they're 
also  a  sign  thai  badly  needed  cliecks  and 
balances  are  missing. 

The  majority  of  students  here  don't 
really  seem  to  care  how  their  SA  repre- 
sentatives spend  the  money.    Oh,  one  or 
two  grumble  now  and  then,  but  as  a  whole 
the  student  body  is  apathetic  towards  the 
SA,  and  this  in  turn  leaves  the  SA  officers 
and  senate  wide  open  to  do  as  they  please. 
Now  don't  get  me  wrong,  I'm  not  lash- 
ing out  against  the  SA  officers  or  the 
senate.       I'm  sure  that  every  penny  that's 
been  appropriated  has  been  done  so  with 
the  best  interests  of  the  student  body  in 
mind.    I'm  not  complaining  so  much  that 
the  money  is  being  spent,  but  on  the  way 
it's  being  spent, 

I'd  like  to  see  some  controversy,  yes, 
even  some  contention  between  penny- 
pinching  conservatives  and  spend-ihriit 
liberals.  I'd  like  to  see  some  students 
with  enough  gumption  to  stand  up  and 
speak  their  mind  even  if  the  majority 
disagrees  with  their  viewpoint.  I'd  like 
to  see  a  little  of  the  spirit  ol  the  60's 
rather  than  the  apathy  of  the  70's. 

For  instance,  last  Thursday  night  a 
town  hall  meeting  was  scheduled  to 
discuss  the  planned  revisions  of  the 
Student  Center  lobby.    You  know  how 
many  people  showed  up?     Four!    This  is 
a  very  important  issue.    We're  talking  in 
terms  of  around  $3,000,  and  I  think  this 
much  money  should  at  least  warrant  inter 
interest  for  enough  students  lo  show  to 
have  a  meeting.    I'd  be  willing  to  wager 


that  il  the  a 


iek's  paper 


announced  that  the  proposal  had  been 
passed,  not  one  person  would  bother  to 
complain  about  the  expenditure  of 
money-ai  least  not  to  anyone  excepi 
for  a  couple  close  friends 

Maybe  I'm  wrong,  maybe  I  was  lusi 
looking  for  something  to  write  an  edi- 
torial about,  maybe  a  good  number  ol 
you  will,  and  have,  expressed  your  ieel- 
ings.    I  certainly  hope  so.

ESSAY  CONTEST  (continued) 

rurrenliv  planned  for  publication  is 
n  ttialvsis  by  former  US  Representative 
uJiln  W  Griffilhs  of  Congress'  next 
^A  to  develop  weffare  reform 
legislation. 

In  announcing  the  competition,  Mr. 
Greene  said  ils  objective  is  "to  encourage 
America's  students  to  think  constructively 
about  the  vast  problems  caused  by  the 
failure  of  present  U  S  socioeconomic  policy." 

Entrants'  papers,  he  said,  may  give  con- 
iideraiion  to  such  topics  as  an  evaluation  of

Zarandona  Comes  From  Cuba 


After  being  born  m  Mexico,  Joshua 
Zarandona  found  his  way  to  CoUegedale 
to  attend  SMC.  He  moved  to  Cuba  when 
he  was  about  three  months  old  and  there 
he  spent  eleven  years  of  his  life  growing 
up. 

Althougfi  his  father  is  from  Mexico, 
Havana  Cuba  was  home  to  him,  his  mother 
and  most  of  his  family. 

Cuba  is  in  a  tropical  setting  where  it 
never  gets  much  hotter  than  80  degrees  and 
never  quite  as  cold  as  it  gets  here.  "Even  if 
it  in  the  tropics,  thee 

it  in  the  tropics,  there  is  never  quite  as  much 
rain  in  Cuba  as  there  is  in  CoUegedale,"  says 
Joshua. 

Joshua's  home  is  now  in  New  Jersey.  In 

fact  he  moved  to  the  United  States  on  his 
birthday.  "I  regard  that  as  one  of  the  best 
birthday  presents  I've  ever  had,"  says 


ing  about  SMC  from  some  friends  a. 
den  Stale  Academy,  he  decided  SMC  was 
the  place  to  attend  college. 

Smce  no  church  schools  are  allowed  tc 
function  in  Cuba,  Joshua  had  to  attend 
public  schools. 

"All  the  teachers  there  are  Communist 


Joseph  Zarandona 

they  don't  allow  any  r 
teachers,"  explains  Joshua,  "and  they 
indoctrinate  you  pretty  good  there.' 
Although  they  are  able  to  attend 
church  in  Cuba,  "you  have  to  keep 
your  moutli  shut  about  religion  when 
out  of  the  church  and  of  course  the 
Adventists  didn't." 

Joshua  is  thankful  to  be  at  SMC  where 
he  can  exercise  his  religious  freedom.

public  colleges  in  Ihe  Southern  Union, 
which  covers  the  states  of  Tennessee,  Georgia, 
Alabama,  Mississippi,  Kentucky,  Florida, 
andNorth  and  South  Carolina. 

Previously  Miss  Remley  was  dean  of  women 
at  Union  College,  Lincoln,  Nebraska,  holding 
lliat.position  for  22  years.  She  also  has  had 
MpeJiencB  as  an  elementary  school  teacher,

Focus  Broadcasting,  Inc.,  is  searching 
for  a  Committee  of  One  Hundred  to  help 
finance  its  radio-evangelism  outreach  for 
this  coming  year,  according  to  Wilfred 
VanGorp,  Focus  Director. 

Appeals  will  be  sent  out  by  mail  to 
previous  supporters  and  friends,  requesting 
that  they  join  the  committee  and  donate 
five  dollars  a  month  for  a  year.  This  will 
hopefully  raise  a  badly  needed  S6,000. 

This  money  will  go  into  financing  the 
airing  of  public  service  broadcasts-com- 
mercial type  spots  giving  listeners  a  bit 
of  good  cheer  and  offering  enrollment  in 
the  broadcast's  Bible  studies. 

Last  year  the  Focus  broadcast  was  aired 

:r  seven  stations  at  the  discression  of 
the  broadcasters.  They  were  heard  on 
Nashville,  Louisville,  Rome,  Atlanta,  Cin- 


cinatli,  and  Gatlatine  station. 

The  organization,  composed  of  members 
from  Ihe  student  body,  is  now  in  the  pro- 
cess of  writing  and  producing  these  spots. 
VanGorp  says  that  the  process  has  been 
slow  because  of  the  busy  schedule,  but 
that  things  will  soon  be  in  the  swing. 

VanGorp  also  mentioned  the  record 
being  sold  at  the  Campus  Shop  featuring 
Lester  Reiser  on  the  organ.   Sales  have 
been  good  with  most  of  the  records  being 
sold  after  various  concerts  put  on  by 
Keiser.  The  album  was  produced  by 
Micky  Thurber  and  included  full  orches- 
tration, including  the  SMC  Brass  Ensemble 
and  members  from  the  Charlotte  Sym- 
phony Orchestra.  The  records  are  on  sale 
for  five  dollars  and  all  profits  will  go  to

here  is  a  man  doing  the  right  thing  in 
the  right  place.  A  totally  delightful 
commentary  on  one  man's  discovery 
of  how  life  should  be  lived. 


tobiography  of  a  black  orphan  girl 
whose  accidental  (or  providential)  meet- 
ing with  a  young  white  matron  in  a 
small  southern  community  changed  the 
course  of  her  life.    Her  progression  from 
a  cowering,  wistful,  and  unkempt  fledg- 
ling to  a  poised  and  happy  young  lady, 
in  spite  of  a  mind-jarring  encounter 
with  the  KKK  and  constant  lugs  to 
revert  to  her  old  ways,  is  a  moving  ex- 
perience, freely  punctuated  with  the 
iiumorous  and  comical.   A  graphic  por- 
trayal of  the  transforming  power  of 
unselfish  love,  this  is  one  you  won't 
want  to  leave  until  the  last  page  is 
devoured.   One  caulion~ils  binding  is 
old-please  treat  it  kindly  so  others  may 
share  ils  inspiration.

Did  she  fear  I  would  murder  eveiyone, 
rob  the  card  registers  and  steal  all  the 
food?    Maybe  she  just  didn't  want  me 
to  get  to  the  checkers  and  remember 
that  my  card  was  in  the  wash.   Per- 
haps she  just  wanted  to  make  sure  I 
had  my  card  out  for  a  quicker  exit 
througli  the  line.   I  don  t  know! 

All  through  dinner  I  queried  whether. 


\^a  inpu?     I     linistrLj 

College  life  has  a  way  of  keeping  you 
busy  all  the  time.  Daily  assignments,  teait 
projects,  along  with  quizzes  and  tests  scattered  | 
here  and  there    not  to  mention  keeping  your 
room  clean  and  clothes  ready  to  wear.  Why 
it's  a  wonder  that  you  find  time  to  do  any- 
thing but  go  to  classes,  study,  eat  and  sleep. 
But  you  do!  There's  tennis,  baseball,  fool- 
ball,  ping  pong,  parties,  clubs,  singing  groups. 
Branch  Sabbath  School,  a  little  sewing  or 
baking  on  the  side  or  maybe  time  spent 
wilh  a  "special  friend." 

Somehow  it  all  seems  to  get  done.  It  may 
not  have  been  done  the  very  best  way  pos- 
sible but  at  least  it's  all  done.  All  vou  had 
to  do  was  cut  your  sleep  to  five  hours 
instead  of  your  usual  seven. 

In  the  midst  of  it  all,  have  you  taken  lime 
to  get  to  know  Jesus?  I  don't  mean  a  5-min- 
ute  prayer  and  a  quickly-read  verse. 

What's  that  you  say?    You're  too  tired; 
You  don't  have  lime.  Is  Ihal  really  the  reason? 
Isn't  that  really  a  cop-out,  the  truth  being  that 
friends,  hobbies,  studies  and  extra-curricular 
activities  are  more  important?    We  seem  to 
find  time  for  those  things  we  really  enjoy  and 
want  to  do. 

In  each  of  our  souls  there  is  a  void  that  only  I 
God  can  fill.  Will  we,  due  to  our  indifference 
and  indolence  refuse  to  have  it  filled? 

If  we  would  come  to  know  Christ  we  must 
take  time  to  read  His  Word.  This  is  the  only 
way  to  resist  temptations,  the  only  way  to 
tmly  witness  for  Christ.  It  is  the  only  way  lo 
remain  unruffled  and  at  peace  in  the  midst  of 
Ihe  trials  and  annoyances  that  come  to  us 
each  day. 

I  honestly  believe  we  need  to  re-evaluate 
our  priorities.  What  is  really  more  important- 
friends,  grades,  hobbies    or  peace,  joy,  and 
eternity? 

If  we're  too  busy  or  too  tired  lo  become 
acquainted  with  God  maybe  we  need  to  elimi- 
nate something  in  our  busy  schedules.  Then 
there  won't  be  so  much  lo  do,  and  there  will 
be  more  time  to  rest.  Taking  our  Bibles  and 
praying  for  the  Holy  Spirit  to  guide  us  into 
truth,  we  may  seek  to  know  God.  Studying 
His  love  letter,  verse  by  verse,  we  may  come  to 
comprehend  those  things  He  has  said 
and  apply  them  lo  our  lives. 

"I  don't  have  time."  I  wonder  if  it 
wouldn't  be  more  correct  lo  say,  "I  don't 
have  lime  not  to  study."?  We  are  told 
that  the  deceptions  of  Satan  will  be  so 
subtle  ihat  only  those  who  have  been 
diligent  students  of  Ihe  Word  will  be  able 


1  belie 


vital  t 


iry  so  Ihat  we  may  have 
time  lo  spend  studying  Ihe  Scriptures.  Our 
Lord  is  coming  soon.  What's  really  most 
important?  ^^

As  colleeo  students  at  leasl^  partially 

surely  we'^don'l  kid  ourselves  that  Ameri- 
cans are  in  excellent  physical  shape. 
Readers  Digest,  weekly  newsmagazines, 
and  daily  newspapers  all  carry  articles 
decrying  ihc  terrible  physical  shape  we 
are  actually  in.  Lack  of  physical  exer- 
cise is  one  reason,  but  improper  diet 
and  nutrition  are  also  important  fac- 

As  Seventh-day  Advenlisls,  with  so 
much  inspired  counsel  regarding  the 
importance  of  proper  diet  and  the 
harm  of  sugar,  we  shouldn't  have  any 
questions.   But  admitledly.  sometimes

whether  physical,  mental,  or  spiritual, 
or  any  combination  of  these.

will  power. 

Counsels  on  Diet  and  Foods,  pp. 
152-155  and  166-170,  gives  some  won- 
derful counsels  on  overcoming  the 
problem  with  appetite.    Looking  to  the 
Saviour  for  help  is  stressed.  Don  t  put 
dependence  on  yourself.   Faith,  prayer 
and  perseverance  are  what  is  needed. 
Incidentally.  Thanksgiving  is  just 
around  tlie  comet.  For  many,  that  is 
a  day  of  television,  lurkey  (vegetarian), 
and  thankfulness  (in  a  few  instances). 
Don't  make  that  your  style  of  day.  Show 
your  thankfulness  by  observing  the  day 
[he  way  that  Christ  would  (although, 
wasn't  everyday  Thanksgiving  Day  for 
Him?)  )     Thou^  people's  opinions  on

over  a  vety  stuffed  stomach. 

HealUiful  living  doesn't  have  lo  be  a 
chore.  Ptay  for  help  in  living  it  and 
liking  it.  Who  is  happier  than  a  100% 
healthy  person.  And  who  is  mote 
miserable  than  a  person  with  overeat- 
ing problems?    Don't  forget.  Cars  run 
much  better  on  higli  octane  than  on

Mike  Castillo  (SMC  student)  \vrites: 

Waking  up  in  the  morning  in  a  dif- 
ferent country  with  different  surround- 
ings and  atmosphere,  I  find  that  my  God 
is  waiting  for  me  to  point  me  to  the 
riglit  road  in  my  actions,  thouglits,  and 
words,  and  all  that  I  do  around  these 
people  that  I  associate  with. 

The  first  few  weeks  in  this  new  jungle 
home  I  was  greeted  in  my  morning  wor- 
ship by  a  heavenly  feeUng.    My  thoughts 
and  senses  pointed  to  God  and  His  warm 
atmosphere  which  can  be  felt  in  the 
reading  of  Isaiah  55  and  Revelation  Four. 
But  this  heavenly  blessing  left  me  in  my 
second  month  here,  and  since  then  I 
haven't  looked  for^va^d  to  my  worships 
as  much.   Somehow  the  Lord  keeps  me 
going  in  my  meetings  with  Him. 

I  enjoy  my  morning  worships  here.  I 
sometimes  am  heartbroken  that  I  cannot 
have  this  heavenly  feeling  with  me,  but 
soon  my  desire  of  this  will  be  fulfilled 
tor  I  have  the  promises  of  Psalms  21:2 
and  Revelation  22:12  to  claim.

I  week  s  paper.  Bui  on  the  other  hand  il 
I  would  like  some  interesting  reading, 
I  won't  feci  cheated.  The  reason  for  a 
:urc  oriented  paper  this  week  is  the  break 


who  joined  the  teaching  staff  the  si 
ond  vear  of  the  program. 

Mr.  Warner  started  the  program  with 
15  students  the  first  year.  They  built 
— e  of  the  first  homes  in  the  Hiawath 


. ind,  and  was  pur- 
chased before  completion  by  Mr.  Pete 
Austin,  a  local  Chattanooga  business- 

The  students  have  built  seven  homes 
in  the  Hiawatha  Estates  subdivision, 
with  prices  of  the  homes  ranBine  over 
$70,000. 

The  purpose  behind  the  Home  Build- 
ing Technology  Program  is  to  prepare 
Christian  young  men  to  become  con- 


in  all  aspects  of  building-framing,  plumb- 
ing, wiring,  etc.  Currently  the  class  is 
doing  work  here  on  the  campus  of  SMC. 
Many  of  you  have  seen  the  new  apart- 
"""t  complex  for  married  couples, 


date  will  be  in  April.  1976.  The  build- 
ing consists  of  eight  two-bedroom 
apartments,  an  exact  replica  of  the  two 
complexes  next  door.  Incidentally,  the 
name  of  these  apartments  is  "Tennessee 
Apartments,"  for  those  of  you  who  have 
long  been  waiting  their  arrival! 

One. big  advantage  in  taking  this 
course  is  that  the  students  belong  to  the 


the  National  Association  of  Home 
Builders'  Convention  which  is  held  in 
Dallas  each  year.  This  convention  draws 
attendance  from  all  corners  of  the  world. 
Last  year  it  drew  approximately  sixty- 
thousand  people  from  as  far  away  as 
Japan  and  Russia,  ' 

The  administration  allows  the  stu- 
dents to  attend  every  other  year.  The 
faculty  and  students  attend  the  five- 
day  session  viewing  all  of  tlie  latest 
innovations  and  ideas  in  the  building 
industry.  Besides  seeing  over  six  hun- 


well  as  important  builders  and  lai 


house  gave  away  four  dehumidifiers, 
priced  arf  und  $300,  and  our  student 
won  two  of  the  four  given.  Other 
prizes  won  by  the  students  were:  an 
electric-cyc  opener  for  a  garage,  two 
Nutone  medicine  cabinets  valued  at 
about  S  lOU  each,  a  clock  and  some 
haiiging  lights.

The  club  officers  are  president,  Tom 
Hall;  vice  president,  Norman  Estes; 
secretary,  David  Kay;  and  treasurer, 
Jack  Clifton, 

The  course  has  been  a  real  success 
so  far,  drawing  students  from  as  far 
away  as  Oregon.  California,  Pennsyl- 
vania, and  l^^w  York.  One  of  our 
students,  Luis  Carlos,  came  all  the

Another  year  of  accomplishment  was 
hicliliglited  on  Monday,  Nov,  10,  when 
SMC's  efforts  for  the  United  Fund  were

fully find  some  general  principles  and  guidelines  to 
help  those  who  find  themselves  in  this  situation.

f  a  relationship  than  the  other. 
■ndship  has  to  be  established  on  eaualitv.  and  when- 
ever there  is  inequality  there  is  inevitably  exploitation. 

In  the  beginning  of  a  relationship  a  couple  can  just 
be  friends.  Their  desires  and  qoals  are  not  clearly  define 
for  it  IS  the  process  of  friendship  which  defines  these 
goals.   At  first  a  relationship  has  an  aura  of  carefree 
happiness,  but  gradually  the  pressure  begins  to  build. 
If  both  parties  either  get  sick  of  each  other  or  fall 
in  love  with  each  other  at  a  fairly  even  pace  there  is 
no  problem. 
^   The  problem  arises  when  one  person  decides  that 
the  relationship  is  more  than  a  friendship,  that  it 
is  a  romance.  This  outs  pressure  on  the  undecided 
partner  to  make  up  his  mind.  The  person  who  hasn't 
made  up  his  mind  often  has  ambivalent  feelings.  He 
is  having  a  good  time  and  yet  at  the  same  time  isn't 
sure  whether  he  wants  anything  more  serious.   He 
would  just  as  soon  keep  the  relationship  at  a  stand- 
still riqht  where  it  is. 


nfortable.  don't  get  involved  any  further,  and  have 
a  good  time.   But  it  just  doesn't  work.   Once  the  process 
of  friendship  has  served  the  purpose  of  defining  goals, 
the  relationship  will  either  grow  or  die  on  the  basis 
of  whether  or  not  these  goals  are  congruent 

What  should  Sally  and  George  do?Since  Sally  has 
the  least  interest  she  holds  the  trump  card,  so  for  lack 
of  space  we  will  deal  with  her  options. 

Oh,  she  could  exploit  George's  devotion,  pouring  on

called  Placerville  where  all  of  the  buildings 
were  boxy,  windowless  structures  of 
brick  and  steel  without  one  bit  of  aesthe- 
beauty.  Oh,  you  couldn't  tell  that  to 
citizens,  thou&li.  They  liked  their 
square,  tasteless  buildings.  "Beauty  is 
functional,"  they  said,  "and  our  build- 
ings are  very  functional.  Besides,  500 
years  ago  everyone  lived  in  tents.  The 
great  and  venerable  Establio,  one  of  our 
town  forefathers,  invented  square  build- 
ings; and  if  square  buildings  were  good 
enough  for  him,  they're  good  enough  for 

Establio  vs.  Anti-establio 

In  the  center  of  the  town  square  ex- 
cerpts from  the  laws  of  building  and 
design,  codified  by  Establio  in  the  sixth 
year  after  tents,  were  emblazoned  on  a 
towering  steel  monument.  These  laws 
played  an  important  part  in  structuring 
all  building  projects  in  Placerville.  Any 
new  architectural  plans  from  an  outhouse 
to  a  new  government  building  were  judged 
by  a  select  committee  of  the  town  elders 
and  labeled  as  either  Establio  or  anti- 
Eslablio  plans  in  an  official  ceremony 
i,whicli  ail  citizens  of  the  town  were  re- 
juired  to  attend, 

[Overreaction 

At  first  Establio's  laws  only  applied  to 
guilding  and  design,  but  as  time  went  by, 
"-ei-zealous  citizens  began  searching  for 

w  areas  to  bring  under  their  jurisdiction. 
^    II  became  a  fad  to  see  what  new  things 
could  be  made  square  and  therefore  Es- 
tablio. One  fool  even  fried  to  invent 
square  wheels.  After  this  ludicrous  idea 
ended  in  failure,  the  would-be  inventor 
oegan  preaching  the  woes  of  wheels  to 
MVe  face.  "Any  pure  and  fundamental 
ollower  of  Establio  will  shun  wheels  as 
»ie  dominant  factor  in  bringing  about 
ine  ow  disregard  for  physical  labor  and 
ard  work  our  young  people  have  today," 

said  with  religious  fervor  and  sincerity.

gades  in  town  who  flaunted  authority  and 
disregarded  the  laws  of  Establio.  One 
afternoon  several  of  these  rebels  met 
secretly  to  discuss  the  burdensome  require- 
ments a  square  society  forced  upon  them. 

"Square  meals,  square  deals,  square  is 
beautiful,"  Reaal,  one  of  the  more  radical 
dissenters,  mimicked  in  facetious  disdain. 
"I'm  sick  of  all  the  ridiculous  slogans,  we 
have  to  chant  on  public  holidays,  the  un- 
realistic laws  we  have  to  obey,  the  tyranny 
of  the  town  elders."  He  slammed  a  fist 
down  on  the  table,  his  eyes  burning  with 
the  firm  determination  of  revolt. 


Each  week  the  members  would 
basement  of  Reaal's  house  to  plan  theii 
revolution.  Of  course,  they  sat  around 
round  table  and  ate  their  snacks  on  rou 


"Give  us  a  year  and  we'll  enlighten  the 
poor,  ignorant  masses  about  the  glory  of 
our  new  round  world,"  Philio,  the  secre- 
tary of  the  society  preached, 

"Yes,  give  us  a  year,"  the  others  echoed. 

As  the  weeks  passed,  Reaal  and  his 
followers  worked  night  and  day.  They 
pubUshed  an  underground  newspaper 
entitled  For  Squares  Only  wliicli  presented 
insidious  doctrines  in  a  seemingly  innocent 
way.  After  reading  the  title,  the  town 
elders  agreed  to  subsidize  the  paper,  not 
bothering  to  read  tlie  content. 

Philio  decided  that  the  best  way  to  reach 


the  young  people  who  would  have  to  spear- 
head any  revolution  if  it  were  to  prove  a 
success,  was  througfi  music.  He  started  a 
musical  group  and  traveled  from  cafe  to 
cafe  singing  his  philosophies  under  the 
f  haunting  melodies  and  symbol-

of  the  under-thirty  generation.  The  staid 
conservative  couldn't  stand  his  music, 
but  they  considered  it  just  another  passing 
fad  and  nothing  to  get  shook  up  about. 

The  Revolt 

It  came  exactly  one  year  and  two  weeks 
after  the  first  clandestine  meeting  in  Reaal's 
house.  When  the  code  word  to  start  the 
armed  revolt  was  sent  from  the  jail  by 
Reaal,  i(  spread  like  wildfire  among  the 
dissatisfied  populace.  Within  hours,  scream- 
ing mobs  swept  like  a  tidal  wave  through  the 
streets  of  Placerville,  They  overwhelmed 
the  guards  stationed  at  the  jail,  liberated  all 
of  the  prisoners,  and  began  burning  and  pd- 
laging  anything  they  considered  Establio. 

Reaal,  Philio,  and  the  other  leaders  of 
'The  Society  of  the  Round"  led  the 
throngs  with  a  cry  of  victory  on  their  Ups 
and  the  determination  of  revenge  in  their 

After  having  all  government  officials  of 
the  previous  administration  executed,  Reaal 
declared  himself  town  mayor  and  formed  a 
new  goveriunent.  "Utterly  destroy  all 
square  buildings,"  he  commanded  his  fol- 
lowers, "and  we'll  begin  building  a  grand 
and  glorious  town  of  spheres  and  circles.

America-with  a  title  like  this,  you 
would  expect  some  elaboration  on  the

but  as  pointed  out  by  Cooke,  history  is 
not  what  happens,  but  the  people's  idea 
of  what  happens,  Cooke  validates  some 
of  England^s  actions  toward  America  and 
shows  that  today  we  pay  some  ol  the

without  so  much  as  a  second  thought.

"Gone  West  "  Domesticating  a  Wilder-

titles  are  all  dealing  with  forces  in 
America's  history,  forces  that  were 
probably  not  recognized  as  such  at 

the  time,  but  still  had  a  great  effect  on 
the  future  of  the  whole  nation.

Reaal  was  shocked.  He  couldn't  believe 
that  Establio  was  capable  of  writing  some-

My  job  here  is  in  many  areas.    For

I  have  been  teaching  the  afternoon

close  to  the  people;  they're  just  like 
any  other  students.  They  like  to  play, 
skip  class,  and  be  serious. 

Of  all  these  jobs,  the  most  rewarding 
was  lo  have  the  students  tell  me  they 
were  sorry  for  problems  they  cause,  and 
for  them  to  come  to  me  individually  and 
ask  for  spiritual  help.  To  see  the  expres-

"I  will  never  be  a  teacher."  Well,  here  1 
am,  not  only  the  school  teacher,  but  I 
am  in  charge  of  the  school.  There  are 
ten  students  from  nearby  villages.  Most 
of  them  speak  English  fairly  well;  how- 
ever, there  are  a  few  who  don  I  seem  to 
understand  any  English. 

I  try  to  give  the  students  the  basis  of 
anatomy  and  physiology  for  each  system 
we  start  into.  Then  I  lake  them  into  the 
different  diseases,    1  have  started  to  leach 
them  some  of  the  basics  of  physical  exams 
and  diagnosing   so  that  they  can  be  getting 
into  proper  habits  during  their  clinical 
experience.    By  the  lime  they  graduate,  I 
hope  they  will  be  able  to  use  physical 
diagnosis  techniques  to  find  out  what 
they  need  to  do  to  treat  the  disease. 

Our  clinic  requirements  are  quite  dif- 
ferent from  most  clinics.   We  have  no 
doctors.   Therefore  our  students  will 
have  to  be  able  to  diagnose  without 
lab  equipment  and  know  what  medica- 
tion to  give  and  when  not  to  give  it. 
Also  Ihey  will  need  to  know  how  to 
distinguish  whether  or  nol  a  patient 
needs  to  go  to  the  Moravian  hospital 
about  two  hours  drive  from  the  mission. 

My  husband  is  a  junior  nursing  student 
at  SMC,    He  is  teachmg  the  math  for 
medication  and  will  be  leaching  different 
sections  of  the  nursing.   He  recently 
taught  suturing. 

As  you  can  see,  this  is  a  very  unusual 
nursing  school.  We  are  trying  to  make 
nursing  praclioners  out  of  these  students 
in  one  short  year.

Recreational  Outfitters 
Open  In  College  Plaza 


Life  is  waking  up  on  a  cold  brisk 
morning  to  the  crackling  of  a  warm  fire 
just  outside  your  tent  and  the  sweet 
smell  of  breakfast  cooking  mixed  with 
the  smell  of  pines,  oaks  and  smoke. 
There  is  nothing  quite  like  it  anywhere. 

Camping  is  a  way  lo  get  away  from  it 
all.  It's  a  rather  common  sight  to  see 
SMC  students  on  their  way  out  on  a 
Friday  afternoon  with  their  back  packs 
headed  for  a  weekend  in  the  woods. 

Many  students  have  never  been  able 
to  experience  this  closeness  to  nature  due 
to  the  lack  ol  equipment.  No  longer  do 
these  folks  have  an  excuse.  Now  there 
is  an  outlet  right  on  campus  selling  some 
of  the  finest  in  camping  apparatus  that 

Recreational  Outfitters  is  located  in 
the  College  Plaza  Mall  and  run  by  Bill 
Wliite,  Jeff  ALen  and  David  Parks.  They 
can  help  you  make  the  choice  of  equip- 
ment that  is  riglit  for  you. 

The  shop  sells  all  kinds  of  equipment 
by  the  names  of  Gerry,  Northface,  Op- 
timus,  Vasque  and  others.  They  sell  such 
tilings  as  sleeping  bags  from  $50  to  S165, 
back  packs  from  S35  to  S70,  dehydrated 
food,  food  containers,  pack  stoves,  boots, 
jackels.  mountain  climbing  equipment  and 


Speaking  of  food,  one  can  still  enjoy  the 
primitiveness  of  being  out  in  the  wild  and 
still  eat  like  a  king.  There  are  so  many  good 
foods  that  are  made  just  for  camping  which 
are  so  easy  to  fix. 

Some  of  the  dehydrated  foods  the  out- 
fitters sell  arc  gorp,  cheese  omelettes,  scramblj 
ed  egg  mix,  hashed  brown  potatoes,  pancake 
mixes,  soup,  instant  apple  sauce,  freeze  dried

Just  because  winter  is  coming  up  and  it's

go  camping  and  enjoy  it.  Winter  is  one  of  the 
best  times  for  camping.  It  is  the  most  fun  if 
you  choose  Ihc  right  equipment. 

Camping  is  good  all  times  of  the  year  and 
there's  no  lime  like  the  present  to  go.

is  usually  ready  for  his  firsi  free  fall-thai 
is,  the  first  jump  in  which  the  student  is 
required  to  open  his  own  chute.  After 
the  supervised  staticjumps.  most  students 
can  handle  this  assignment  flawlessly. 
However,  it  is  comforting  to  know  that 
an  automatically  opening  reserve  chute 
will  blossom  at  a  pre-determined  alti- 
tude should  the  student  freeze  or  some- 
how foul  his  main  parachute.  After  Ihe 
successful  first  free  fall,  the  jump  master 
continues  supervision  until  he  is  sure  his 
student  can  liandle  hiniselfwilh  confi- 
dence under  any  sel  of  circumslances. 
The  new  jumper  then  joins  the  growing 
ranks  of  sporl  parachutists,  ever  challeng- 
ing his  potential  and  improving  his  ability.

Ho  Ho  Ho  Merry  Christinas 


Mr.  E.O.  Grundset.  llie  Southern 
Missionary  College  programs  commil- 
tee,  and  others  liave  charged  a  variety 
of  outstanding  Christmas  activities  for 
SMC's  fortunate  faculty,  students,  and 
staff, 

Mr.  Grundsel,  programs  committee 
chairman,  directs  tlie  planning  of  10 
to  12  enjoyable  programs  which  are 
presented  througjiout  the  school  year. 

This  year's  holiday  activities  include: 
the  annual  Christmas  tree  ligiiting,  com- 
plete with  carols,  Santa,  and  refresh- 
ments; and  inspiring  and  moving  chapel 
sermon  titled  "Christmas,"  by  Elder  Des 
Cummings,  Jr.;  a  Christmas  MV  program; 
'  '.ps  featuring  the  musical  sounds 


at  Northgate  Mall  perfor 
ing  Christmas  selections;  and  an  evening 
open  for  various  Christmas  parties;  a 
sacred  Christmas  concert  by  the  SMC 
choir  and  chorale;  the  men's  club  under- 
privileged children's  party,  which  brings 
delighted  smiles  of  appreciation  and 


grateful,  affectionate  hugs  from  the  un- 
fortunate; caroUing;  and  of  course,  the 
SMC  Band's  memorable  presentation  of 
their  "Bicentennial  Christmas  Concert." 

To   complete  the  festive  atmosphere 
on  campus,  Christmas  really  is  in  the  air, 
with  seasonal  sounds  echoing  over  the 
campus  during  the  evening  hours,  cour- 
lesy  ofWSMC-FM. 

What  does  all  this  add  up  to?  As 
students,  we  want  to  say  "thank-you" 
to  Dr.  Marvin  Robertson,  Dr.  Jack 
McClarty.  Elder  Des  Cummings,  Eider 
Gary  Patterson,  Mr.  Don  Self,  Mr.  Ron- 
ald Grange,  Ms.  Verbilee  Neilson,  and 
all  the  many  others,  especially  those  on 
the  programs  committee,  who  gave  of 
their  time  and  took  the  ir "  "    " 
vide  us  with  these  excellent  Christmas 


To  Mr.  Grundsel,  programs  committee 
hairman,  Santa  will  surely  say,  "Ho,  Ho, 
lo,  Edgar.    You've  been  a  good  boy,"

TKl'  Christmas  tree  tigliting  held  Decem- 
ber 2  at  7:00  p.m.  opened  the  SMC  holiday 
season.  Festivities  began  on  the  Wright  Hall 
steps  with  an  enthusiastic  greeting  from  our 
very  own  E.  0.  Grundset,  seasonably  adorned 
with  a  red  and  white  wool  scarf. 

After  a  wait  of  a  few  minutes,  Mr. 
Gffiidset  reassured  the  anxiously  waiting 
C^ren  -  and  adults  -  that  "Santa  is  on 
l^ay!"  And  he  was  right!    Moments 
stewards,  sirens  creamed  and  lights  flashed- 
Santa  (alias  Duane  Anderson)  arrived  on  a 
firetnjck.   Jumping  from  the  truck  with  a 
'HO!   Hi)!    ho!"  he  bounced  over  to  the 
tree  to  lura  on  the  liahts.    The  liglits 
came  on,  ihe  crowd  cheered  and  without 
delay  Sania  tossed  out  candy.    Someone 
standing  behind  this  reporter  remarked, 
"In  all  my  years  at  SMC  I  have  never 
been  able  (o  catch  any  candy  from  Santa."

This  mama  of  placing  so  much  importance  on  a  letter 
starts  in  the  first  grade.  Little  Billy  is  praised  or  chided 
depending  on  what  the  first  report  card  says.  "You're 
so  smart,"  his  parents  say.  "Here's  a  dollar  for  each  of 
the  A's  you  made."  Or,  "This  report  card  is  lousy.  No 
more  TV  until  you  bring  these  grades  up." 

After  a  while,  a  child  begins  to  place  his  self  worth  on 
the  results  of  a  report  card.    If  he  gets  D's  and  F's,  he 
thinks  of  himself  as  a  D  or  F,  so  why  try?  Or  on  the  other 
hand,  if  he  catches  on  to  games  students  play  and  makes 
A's,  he  doesn't  care  what  he  learns  as  long  as  he  keeps  get- 
ting A's  or  B's.    Creativity  and  iniative  may  be  rewarded, 
but  why  should  a  student  go  to  that  much  trouble  if  he 
;  which  brings  just  as 


irds  with  half  the  effort 


(D 


So  what's  the  solution-throw  out  the  grading  system? 
This  would  be  great,  but  both  teachers  and  students  l<now 
that  without  the  crutch  of  grades  hardly  any  students 
would  be  motivated. 

Since  the  system  is  probably  here  to  stay,  as  students 
we're  going  to  have  to  resign  ourselves  to  accept  its  inade- 
quacies.   We  can  blame  all  our  woes  on  a  lousy  institution, 
but  this  isn't  hurting  anyone  but  ourselves. 

We  need  to  remind  ourselves  that  the  professors  are  here 
to  mstill  as  much  knowledge  in  us  as  we're  willing  to  absorb 
Everything  we  learn  at  school  is  something  less  we  will  have 
to  learn  when  we  90  out  into  the  "real"  world  and  get  a  job. 

There  are  some  areas  where  I  believe  a  pass/fail  system 
based  on  participation  and  attendance  should  be  implemented 
or  at  least  seriously  considered. 


For  instance,  the  physical  education  recreation  classes  a 
taught  for  only  one  reason-to  provide  an  opportunity  for 
students  to  get  some  exercise  and  to  gain  skills  that  will 
make  life  healthier  and  happier.    Why  do  you  need  to 
grade  a  class  like  this? 


Also, 


;  tha 


/ise  to  try  and  put  re 
gion  classes  through  the  same  scholastic  mold  as  every 
other  class.  We  already  tend  to  put  a  grade  on  our  ret 
tionship  with  God  based  on  performance,  and  it  seems 
dangerous  to  me  to  put  an  A,B,C,  or  D  on  anything  re 
lating  to  religious  experience. 


1  haven  t  offered  any  answers,  but  I  do  hope  I've  made 
you  think  a  little  bit  about  the  way  you  relate  to  grades 
Anyway,  it  s  too  late  to  philosophically  discuss  grades     '

_^ __      r  realm  of  influence. 

'  i  iini  ironbled  about  mandatory  cliurcK 
attendance.    I  know  some  of  llie  reason- 
ing beliind  it,  and  it  sounds  good,  but  I  am 
aho  aware  of  the  actual  harm  it  is  doing. 

Surely,  everyone  wishes  to  liave  their  de- 
cisions made  for  llicm;  thai  is  much  easier 
than  using  their  own  willpower.    I  would 
much  rather  be  carried  above  the  wave 
than  have  to  swim,  but  very  soon  !  must 
swim,  and  I  think  it  is  time  I  started  getting 
used  to  the  water.   Yes.  by  coming  here,I 
have  used  my  power  of  choice  and  chosen  to 
let  someone  else  provide  for  me  the  moti- 
vation to  do  what  I  should  be  doing  not 
only  willfully,  but  willingly  and  of  my  own 

Aspirin  and  other  symptom-relieving 
drugs  are  advised  against  by  the  Spirit  of 
Prophecy.    Is  not  mandatory  church  much 
like  these  drugs?  1 1  covers  the  symptoms 
of  inadequate  family  and  Christian  relation- 
ships, but  does  nothing  to  strike  at  the 
heart  of  the  real  problem.    In  fact,  it  has, 
like  many  symptom-disguising  drugs,  harm- 
ful side  effects,  mainly  that  of  the  weaken- 
ing of  the  will- 

If  the  student  is  departing  from  "the 
way  that  he  should  go",  il  is  because  he 
has  not  been  trained  early  enough  to  make 
his  own  decisions.  Forcing  him  to  go  now 
is  only  in  a  way  placing  a  shameful  hand 
over  the  real  problem~a  problem  which 
the  college  wishes  to  hold  no  blame  for. 
The  left  hand  is  paying  no  attention  to 
what  the  right  hand  is  doing. 

Lack  of  attendance  is  a  problem,  but 
the  place  to  encourage  right  action  is  in 
the  home,  not  in  college  after  it  is  to  late. 
I  can  understand  the  concern  of  faculty^ 
and  sponsors  of  the  school  over  lack  of 
attendance,  but  is  this  the  right  way  to 
solve  the  problem? 

The  church  is  sick,  and  the  apathy  of 
the  youth  testifies  to  this.    SMC  is  a  strong 
college,  stronger  than  many  of  het  sister 
Adventist  colleges.   But  even  here,  !  see 
all  around  me  in  the  dorm  both  (hose  who 
are  apathetic  and  also  those  who  are  pro- 


fessed agnostics  in  numbers  y 
even  be  surprised  at.   The  way  ,„  y  , 
those  who  do  not  attend  is  firsi  J'  I 
vert  them.    Forced  church  attendCj

Pharoah  was  hardened  by  repeaijl' 
The  majority  of  the  students  are  o  r 
side,  and  they  will  not  be  turned  b-

Neighbors  in  the  community  give  the 
pastors  of  the  various  Collegedale  churches 
names  of  families  that  need  encouragement- 
mental  and  spiritual  as  well  as  physical. 
These  names  are  passed  to  Ihe  Dorcas

The  Joys  And  Frustrations  Of  Student  Teaching 


'Miss  Jones,  may  I  turn  in  my  report 
tomorrow?    What  did  I  make  on  my  test? 
May  I  go  to  the  restroom?     Miss  Jones, 
are  you  married?  " 

Answering  these  and  countless  other 
questions  is  only  part  of  my  duty  as  a 
student  teacher.  I  grade  papers,  write 
lesson  plans  and  construct  tests. 

ng  a  music  teacher  at  Brainerd  High, 
I  have  a  wide  range  of  students  in  my 
classes.  Most  students  enrolled  in  Music 
y  and  Music  Appreciation  are  plan- 
tiing  on  pursuing  a  musical  career  in  college. 
In  choir,  ihere  are  many  hard  workers; 
lhes€  members  are  in  choir  because  they 
■e  lo  sing  and  perform. 
On  the  other  hand,  in  the  first  period 
lOir  must  of  the  students  attend  because 
eir  altitudes  and  dlcipline  was  so  bad 
Ihat  teachers  had  no  other  place  to  place 
Ih'^m.   Thats  the  time  when  I  play  baby- 
teacli/r"'  ^^  '^'""'^^  '"^lead  of  student 
help  you  understand  more  about 
^"'dcniteachirig.  I  constructed  a  list  of  the 
Id  imstralions  I  feel  on  any  given  day 


FRUSTRATION  IS: 

!.    Having  your  students  fail  a  test  when 
you  gave  them  all  the  questions  and  answer: 
the  day  before, 

2.  When  students  misunderstand  the  as- 
signment after  my  futile  efforts  to  give 
them  directions. 

3.  Seeing  12  people  chewing  gum  in  choir. 


2.    Is  stating  my  instructions  so  clearly 
that  there  is  no  question  about  what  needs 
to  be  done. 


These  people  were  not  down  to  their 
last  bread  crumb-but  had  very  little  money 
and  did  appreciate  the  food,  but  more  than 
that,  many  were  lonely  and  grateful  that 
someone  took  their  time  to  show  them 


Not  all  teaching  is  serious— humor  . 
well  as  joy  and  frustration  is  found  in 
student  teaching  experience.   A 
linger  in  my  mind  from  indicents  occurring 
at  Brainerd  High.    For  instance: 

On  my  first  day  of  conducting  varsity 
choir,  I  became  slightly  annoyed,  for  all  I 
could  see  were  heads  buried  in  the  music. 
I  could  not  get  their  attention.  The  room 
temperature  was  rising  and  without  think- 
ing I  started  to  unbutton  the  jacket  to  my 
suit.   A  sudden  stillness  filled  the  room. 
The  girls  on  the  front  row  were  blushing 
with  embarrassment.    By  the  time  I  reacliea 
(he  third  button,  one  of  the  girls  shreid 
with  embarrassment.   By  the  time  I  reached 
the  third  button,  one  of  the  girls  shreiked  , 
"Miss  Jones,  what  are  you  doing?  " 

It  was  now  quite  obvious  what  they  were 
thinking,  and  without  saying  a  word,  I  re- 
moved the  jacket,  revealing  a  blouse  under- 
neath.  Willi  relief  the  same  girl  exclaimed, 
"She  does  have  on  clothes!" 

For  15  minutes  howls  of  laugliter  could 
be  heard  coming  from  choir  room  101.   Bui 
I'll  tell  you  this,  I  had  their  attention  the 
rest  of  the  period. 

Other  memorable  occasions  come  to  mind- 
of  fellows  in  my  class  asking  for  my  phone 
number,  or  the  time  I  got  kicked  out  of  the 
library  because  no  "students"  were  allowed 
in  al  that  time. 

I  finish  my  practice-teaching  December  12. 
You're  all  invited  to  our  Christmas  program, 
Thursday  night,  December  11. 


"I  wonder  if  I  may  leave  this  with 
you?  "  This  is  what  1  usually  ask  after 
a  conversation  I've  had  with  someone 
as  1  am  offering  them  a  Steps  to  Christ 
or  some  other  piece  of  literature. 

Literature  can  be  an  opening  wedge 
where  all  other  efforts  may  fail.    It  is 
a  great  work,  an  important  work,  and 
a  quick  way  of  giving  Ihe  3rd  Angel's 
Message.    Ellen  White  writes,  'The  mes- 
sage of  truth  is  to  go  to  all  nations,  and 
people;  it's  publications,  printed  in  many   I 
different  languages  are  to  be  scattered 
abroad  like  the  leaves  of  autumn." 

I  believe  that  now  as  never  before 
in  SDA  history  is  the  time  for  us  to 
spread  our  literature  like  the  leaves  of 
autumn,  to  continue  to  sell  it,  but  most 
of  all  to  give  it  away  while  we  still  a^^ 
have  it  in  such  abundant  supply.       ^V 

The  Adventist  population  in  the  U.S. 
composes  only  20%  of  the  world  Adven- 

opulation;  however,  we  possess  80%  I 
of  Ihe  Adventist  wealth.  What  a  privilege 
and  what  a  responsibility  we  have  of 
sharing  the  resources  the  Lord  has  so 
abundantly  blessed  us  with.   By  negleci- 
ing  to  do  our  part  now,  we  will  later 
have  the  same  work  to  do  under  adverse 
conditions,  and  our  neglect  will  nccessi- 
ite  heavenly  angels  finishing  the  work 
hich  has  been  intrusted  lo  us.    We  must 
remember  that  we  are  judged  by  what  we 
could  have  done  as  much  as  what  we 
have  done.    By  not  doing  anything,  aren't 
:  denying  Christ? 

There  is  now  more  searching  than  ever 
other  churches.    It  is  up  to  us  to  help 
them  find  what  we  hold  so  precious.    I 

n  the  receiving  end  myself  only 
about  four  years  ago.    I  was  in  a  church 
held  their  own  traditions  above  that 
of  God's  law,  a  church  that  kept  its 
people  as  much  in  the  dark  as  possible, 

church  that  taught  its  people  to  be- 
lieve that  tliey  were  not  qudified  to 
understand  the  Bible  regardless  of  their 
education.    But  because  of  the  love 
/as  in  my  heart  as  a  newborn 
Christian,  and  because  of  the  truth  I 
searching  for,  I  rejoiced  and  will 
be  grateful  for  the  piece  of  Ad- 
ist  literature  that  I  received.

SPORTS  ACTION 


Once  upon  a  lime  in  Hie  great  Happy 
Valley  Foiesl  three  bears  liappily  roomed 
logeliiei.   One  bear  was  so  liuge  and  furry 
thai  when  site  sal  liet  slomacli  rolled  inio 
three  or  four  layers;  llie  middle  bear  was 
mediumish,  rather  dainty,  and  certainly 
nol  far.  and  llie  last  bear  was  so  small  llial 
just  a  few  bites  of  food  would  stuff  her 
to  the  top  of  her  furry  liitle  head. 

One  rainy  morning  the  three  bears  left 
their  den  on  third  floor  of  tJie  big,  big 
cave  where  all  the  She-Bears  lived.   Under 
their  bright  umbrellas  lliey  walked  merrily 
to  the  center  of  the  forest  lo  the  wide 
clearing  where  all  the  bears  came  to  be 
served  their  steaming  meals. 

Big  Bear  scrambled  through  line  and 
emerged  with  three  bowls  of  grits.   Middle 
Bear  with  her  feminine  wiles  worked  her 
way  deftly  througli  the  lines  to  get  her 
bowl  of  grits.   Tiny  Bear  squeezed  in  and 
around  all  the  bears  gathered  for  breakfast, 
and  finally  came  forth  carefully  guarding 
lier  half-serving  of  grits. 

When  they  sal  to  enjoy  their  meal  all 
three  bears  looked  at  Iheir  bills.  Big  Bear 
roared.  Middle  Bear  grumbled,  and  Tiny 
Bear  squealed  in  dismay.  The  Forest 
Granger  came  running  from  the  inner  den 
where  the  food  was  prepared.  When  he 
saw  the  three  bears  making  the  uproar  he 
asked  with  concern,  "Whatever  is  wrong? 
Did  Goldilocks  eat  your  food?  " 

"Goldilocks  nothing,"  Tiny  Bear  whimp- 
ered. "I've  heard  Ihal  Old  Tale  before,  but 
this  is  no  bedlime  story!  Instead  it  keeps 
me  up  all  night  worrying." 

They  all  shoved  their  bills  under  the 
Grangers  nose.    "That's  what's  wrong," 
Big  Bear  growled  furiously.    "I  can't  afford 
bills  like  this!" 

"I  understand  how  you  feel,"  the  Forest 
Granger  soothed.  "But  we  still  have  lo  pay 
Ihe  bears  that  work  here,  you  know.  We 
should  have  raised  the  prices  many  moons 
ago.  We  are  cutting  all  the  comers  we  can, 
and  I  assure  you  we  are  not  making  any 
money  off  of  you." 


'^  Wdl  !  m  surL  I  didn  I  lji  torty  bowls 
of  their  grits.  I've  been  enjoying  cooking 
my  own  food  all  month.  There  must  be 
some  mistake."  Middle  Bear  tried  nol  to 
sound  angry. 

Tiny  Bear  just  cried  at  the  Ihoughl  of 
forty  whole  bowls  of  grits  slufled  into 
her  poor  little  stomach. 

As  soon  as  they  could,  ihe  three  bears 
found  the  Forest  Granger  in  the  center  of 
Ihe  forest  where  all  the  bears  caine  to  eat. 
Big  Bear  growled  her  fiercest  growl.  Middle 
Bear  made  a  dignigied  rumbling  noise,  and 
Tiny  Bear  cried  again.   The  Granger  listened 
to  their  complaints,  cleared  his  throat, 
whislled  for  a  moment,  and  then  handed 
Ihem  a  well-worn  document. 

"I  didn't  write  this,"  he  assured  Ihem, 
"but  your  Forest  Handbook  stales  plainly 
that  you  will  be  charged  Tot  at  least  forty 
bowls  of  grits  a  monlh  whether  you  eat 
them  or  nol,  I  do  hale  to  charge  you  for 
food  you  haven't  eaten  -  but  il'sjust  our

Then  we'll  cut  our  own  corners  by  not 
paying  any  other  bear  to  be  fixing  out 
food.    Any  way,  we  might  as  well  be  gel- 
ting  some  use  oui  of  the  lillle  cooking  den 

And  so  It  was  ihat  the  three  bears  ale 
happily  and  heallhlully  for  many  days. 
But  al  the  lime  of  Ihe  new  moon  ihey  each 
found  a  note  in  their  hollow  tree  at  the 
entrance  of  ihe  big  cave  where  Ihey  dwelled. 

"You  have  been  charged  for  forty  bowls

scholastic  aspirations  and  hit  on  areas  such  as  your  social  life 
or  your  relationship  with  God. 

I've  gone  through  experiences  similar  to  these  and  have 
been  tempted  to  never  say  I'll  do  anything,  thus  eliminating 
any  chance  of  failure.  But  after  taking  another  look  at  New 
Year's  resolutions.  I  think  you'll  agree  with  me  that  they  can 
serve  a  wortliwhile  purpose  if  approached  in  a  realistic  and 
practical  manner. 

Remember,  the  person  who  never  tries  to  make  any  chang- 
es won't  change,  and  if  goals  are  never  set  they  will  never  be 
reached.  The  first  step  is  to  make  goals  that  are  feasible  to  reach. 
For  instance,  rather  than  saying  you're  going  to  lose  50  pounds, 
it  might  be  better  to  tackle  your  weight  problem  five  pounds 
at  a  time.  ]umpi,ig  from  a  2.0  to  a  4.0  is  great  but  highly  im- 
probable. 

Secondly,  its  a  lot  easier  to  reach  short  term  goals  rather 
than  long  term  ones.  Although  the  new  year  is  a  time  for  re- 
flection and  introspection,  "new  day"  goals  are  the  ones  which 
bring  about  true  success  and  self  satisfaction.  Failure  need 
last  no  longer  than  a  day  if  the  next  morning  you  can  start  out 
again  with  a  fresh  slate. 

Finally,  do-it-yourself  determination  might  raise  your 
GPA,  but  the  only  way  to  become  a  more  worthwhile  person 
is  through  submission  to  God  and  time  spent  daily  in  Bible 
study  and  prayer  to  establish  a  meaningful  relationship  with 
Him. 


Smooth    Move 
Grange 

Kudos  to  Mr.  Grange  for  showing  his  willingness  to  cut 
corners  in  the  fight  against  the  spiraling  food  costs  by  initiating 
self  service  in  the  cafeteria  line.  There  are  a  few  drawbacks 
such  as  slower  moving  line  which  will  hopefully  improve  when 
students  get  used  to  the  new  system,  but  overall  1  think  it 
was  a  successful  move.  The  cost  of  the  servings  hasn't  gone 
down,  but  if  I  can  get  another  spoon-full  of  black-eyed  peas 
for  the  same  cost  by  serving  myself,  I'm  all  for  it.

of  family  and  friends.  For  instance,  dur- 
ing the  summer  each  has  had  an  opport- 
unity to  get  his  feeling  and  values  aligned; 
upon  returning  to  school  one  or  the  other 
has  the  courage  to  break. 

Recovering  from  a  broken  engagement 
IS  one  of  the  certainties  of  life  which  we 
can  count  on.  Landis  found  that  the

Accent  Editor  Interviews 
Actor  Jack  Thomas  • 


Saturday  night,  January  1 0,  Jack  Thomas 
gave  a  rendition  of  Mark  Twain.  This  young 
actor  ot  34  graplucally  portrayed  the  aged 
Twain  with  his  slow-moving  gestures  and 
cracked  voice.  Included  in  the  program  were 
excerps  from  "Huckleberry  Finn"  and  sev- 
eral of  Twain's  candid  and  forthright  opin- 
ions on  life  and  living. 

After  the  program  the  Accent  conducted 
an  interview  with  Mr.  Thomas.  The  quest- 
ions will  be  printed  in  bold  type  and  the 
answers  in  regular  type. 

Mr.  Thomas,  How  did  you  first  become  in- 
terested in  Mark  Twain?

What  advice  would  you  give  to  an  aspiring 
actor  who  is  interested  bi  doing  solo  work?

Have  you  been  influenced  by  Hal  Holbrook?

I  spent  three  hours  on  the  make-up,  and 
I  spent  a  good  part  of  the  day  in  my  ho- 
tel room  finding  out  what  will  work  and 
what  will  not  work  on  this  campus.  You 
see,  I  think  it's  a  slap  in  the  face  and  an 
injustice  to  do  anything  other  than  en-

Were  you  a  little  apprehensive,  Mr.  Thomas 
m  presenting  a  character  such  as  Twain  who 
was  critical  of  religion  on  a  conservative 
religious  campus? 

No,  not  in  the  least  bit.  I  was  absolutely 
comfortable.  I  have  done  Twain  before  at 
places  where  they  wouldn't  have  anyone 
else  come,  places  where  controversial  pei  " 
can  not  go.  People  know  that  1  come  on 
to  entertain  and  that  anything  short  of 
that  is  wrong.  I  told  Pat  Paulson  c      *" 


Is  there  any  particular  message  you  think

velt infiuenced  about  one  hundred'news-

Your  vocabulary  needs  improving. 


Do  you  always  read  at  ll>c  same  speed?

e.g.  fiction,  newspapers,  textbooks.

USB  YOUR  EYES  EFFICIENTLY 

II  is  the  eyes  that  see  printed  words 
and  transmit  them  to  the  brain.  Under- 
stand how  I  jcy  work  and  give  Ihcm  ihe 
opportunity  to  perform  well.  Eyes  per- 
ceive words  only  when  they  stop  moving, 
or  make  what  is  called  a  "fixation".  It  is 
during  tliis  pause  that  the  brain  records 
what  the  eyes  sec.  Depending  upon  your 
"eye  span"  you  will  perceive  one,  two 
or  more  words  in  each  fixation.  The  average 
college  student,  for  example,  has  a  span  of 
1.1  words  and  makes  four  fixations  per 
second.

Christmas  Holidays  in  the  village  of  Uitkiik  in 
Surmam.  South  America.  This  is  the  first 
time  that  such  an  evangelistic  effort  has  been 
held  among  the  Hindu  population  of  Surina 


Twenty-one  persons  out  of  the  one  hundred 
adults  that  attended  the  meetings  made  their 
decision  to  continue  studying  the  truth  in  a 
special  Bible  class.  This  mission  project  was 
financed  by  several  churches  in  tne  United 
Slates  and  by  various  individuals. 

Lester  Keizer,  Sheila  Keller,  and  Mike 
and  Karen  Porter  left  Collegedale,  Tennessee 
for  Surinam  in  a  Piper  Cherokee  to  hold  the 
(wo-week  evangelistic  series.  After  21  hours 
of  flying  they  landed  at  Paramaribo,  the  ca- 
pital of  Surinam.  On  hand  to  greet  them 
was  the  president  of  the  Surinam  Mission, 
L.  E.  Keizer. 

Surinam,  formally  called  Dutch  Gui- 
ana, gained  its  independence  from  the  Ne- 
therlands on  November  25,  1975  and  re- 
cently became  the  newest  member  of  the 
United  Nations.  It  is  a  country  of  various 
ethnic  groups  from  Africa,  India,  Indon- 
esia and  Holland  and  lies  on  the  north- 
eastern coast  of  South  America  between 
Guiana  and  French  Guiana. 

Meetings  were  held  nightly  in  a  palch- 


they  said  in  "Sranang  Tongo,"  the  local 
language.  A  small  hut  was  built  nearby  It 
provide  the  sixty  children  with  a  meeting 
place,  Sheila  and  Karen  helped  out  with

idu  priests.  One  of  these  "Pandits",  a 


the  Bible.  Bible  studies  are  now  being 
held  in  his  home  every  week. 

As  with  any  evangelistic  outreach  pro- 
gram, the  devil  tried Tiis  best  to  keep  people 
from  coming  and  this  series  of  meetings 
was  no  exception.  The  bus  that  was  being 
hired  to  take  the  villagers  to  the  meetings 
suddenly  stopped  coming.  Another  bus 
was  hired,  but  after  a  few  niglits  the  dri- 
ver refused  to  take  the  interested  villag- 
ers. Il  was  later  learned  that  the  bus  dri- 
vers in  the  area  had  agreed  among  them- 
selves not  to  take  any  more  people  be- 
cause it  was  a  Christian  meeting. 

In  spite  of  all  the  difficulties  including 
power  failure  during  the  last  night  of  the 
meetines,  once  again  the  power  of  God 
triumphed  over  evil.  Land  is  now  being 
cleared  for  a  church.

Educational  Testing  Service 
Announces  Program  Change 


Educational  Testing  Service  (ETS)  re 
ports  several  major  changes  in  two  national 
testing  programs  whose  scores  are  used  as 
part  ot  the  admissions  process  in  many  of  the 
nation  s  graduate  schools. 

Both  programs,  the  newly-titled  Graduate 
Management  Admission  Test  (GMAT)  and 
the  Graduate  Record  Examinations{GRE), 
together  test  more  than  400,000  prospect 
graduate  students  every  year. 


graauate  stuaents  every  year. 

ETS  says  the  changes  were  made  to  help 
simplify  the  test-taking  process  by  making

The  GMAT  formerly  was  called  the  Ad- 
mission Test  for  Graduate  Study  in  Business. 
The  new  name  parallels  a  similar  change  in 
the  sponsoring  council's  name  ■■  refiecting 
a  trend  among  graduate  business  schools  to 
broaden  their  curricula  and  degree  titles  to 
include  other  areas  of  administration,  as

Sex  Stereotypes 

And 
Auto  Mechanics  Class 


You  run  across  these  statements  wherever  you  go    They 
are  tossed  around  like  ping-pong  balls  in  both  dormitones 
Srown  back  and  forth  in  Lated  dinner-table  conversat  ons 
between  pseudo-women's  libbers  and  male  chauvinists  and 
without  them  any  comedian's  repertoire  would  fall  Hat.  I  m 
talking  about  sex  stereotypes  and  generalizations,  f  or  m- 
stance-"If  you  want  the  whole  world  to  know  somethmg 
tell  it  to  a  woman  first  and  they  will  know.  If  someone 
dented  your  fender  in  the  parking  lot  it  had  to  have  been 
a  woman  driver.  The  extent  of  a  woman's  knowledge  about 
a  car  is  that  the  key  fits  in  the  ignition,  and  sometimes  she 
can't  remember  whether  to  use  tlie  key  with  the  round  or 
the  square  head."  .  , 

Or  on  the  other  side  of  the  fence-"Any  man  who  spends 
time  in  the  kitchen  other  than  the  time  required  to  eat  is  a 
little  bit  fazed.  Big  boys  don't  cry  and  a  he-man  will  have 
emotions  of  steel.  When  it  comes  to  fixing  cars  men  know 
all  about  it  or  if  they  don't  they  can  learn  with  minimal 
effort-for  after  all  they're  men." 

The  sad  fact  about  stereotypes  is  that  often  they  are  only 
a  shallow  fascade  of  half-truths.  This  week  I'd  like  to  con- 
cern myself  with  a  sex  stereotype  affecting  the  scholastic 
program  of  a  number  of  students  here  on  the  SMC  campus. 
Perhaps  the  majority  of  mechanics  are  men  but  this  doesn't 
mean  that  the  majority  of  men  are  mechanical. 

The  only  tnily  introductive  class  in  auto  mechanics  on 
tliis  campus  is  only  open  for  women,  thus  keeping  a  large 
number  of  non-mechanical  men  who  would  like  to  know 
something  about  cars  from  gaining  this  very  fundamental 
and  important  knowledge. 

"Now  wait  a  minute. '  you  say.  "There  is  too  a  class 
for  men.  It's  called  Automotive  Fundamentals."  Sure  th- 
ere's a  class,  but  it  also  happens  to  be  notorious  for  lowering 
your  GPA  taking  hours  of  study  time,  and  being  one  big 
headache  for  the  person  not  really  interested  in  an  in-depth 
knowledge  of  auto  mechanics. 

Last  semester  the  average  GPA  for  Automotive  Funda- 
mentals was  2.34  as  opposed  to  a  2.77  GPA  for  the  whole 
school's  average.  This  isn't  so  bad.  but  there  were  only  nine 
students  in  the  class  and  there  was  also  one  withdrawal  right 
before  the  semester  test  and  one  incomplete  which  weren  t 
included  in  the  average 

Another  contributing  factor  which  keeps  the  student  who 
feels  he  needs  to  know  something  about  cars  but  who  isn't 
interested  in  mechanics  is  the  fact  that  for  this  class  it  is  re- 
quired to  buy  or  obtain  in  some  way  or  another  between  S 1 50 
and  S200  worth  of  tools. 

I'm  not  suggesting  that  the  Fundamentals  class  needs  to 
be  watered  down.  If  I  were  an  industrial  arts  major  or  fas- 
cinated with  cars,  I  wouldn't  want  to  take  a  rinky-dink  course. 
I  would  want  to  get  my  money's  worth,  and  if  1  didn't  already 
have  a  set  of  tools,  I'd  be  happy  for  a  chance  to  get  some. 
On  the  other  hand  there  is  a  large  number  of  male  stu- 
dents who  never  will  want  to  rebuild  an  engine,  do  a  valve 
job,  or  understand  the  car's  electrical  system.  All  they  want 
is  enough  knowledge  to  keep  from  getting  gypped  when  they 
go  to  a  mechanic.  They'd  like  to  be  able  to  do  a  tune-up 
and  other  minor  repaid  and  would  appreciate  knowing  en- 
ough to  carry  on  an  intelligent  conversation  about  cars  with 
their  friends. 

A  two-hour  class  which  fulfills  all  of  these  requirements 
is  offered  but  it's  called  Automotive  Survey  for  Women 
rather  than  just  plain  Automotive  Survey.  I  consider  this 
a  prime  case  of  sex  descrimination  or  at  least  a  bad  over- 
siglit.  For  the  girls  who  know  nothing  about  cars  it  isn't 
really  a  serious  handicap,  because  this  is  what  society  ex- 
pects, but  for  the  male  who  doesn't  even  know  how  to  ch- 
ange the  oil  It's  a  completely  different  story.  He  is  respon- 
sible for  the  upkeep  and  maintenance  of  the  car  and  mech- 
anics are  more  than  willing  to  drain  his  pocketbook. 

Iherefore  1  strongly  recommend  that  the  Industrial  Arts 
department  seriously  consider  either  opening  up  another 
Automotive  Survey  class  or  else  open  up  the  class  they  have

"It's  not  whether  you  win  or  lose,  but 
it's  how  you  play  the  game." 


In  the  near  luture  you  may  inquire, 
"When  is  the  Rees  Senes?  and  come 
to  find  out  the  event  slipped  right  past  you! 

"That  couldn't  be!"  you  exclaim.  But 
its  so    You  should  follow  your  calendar 
more  closely,  for  it  is  scheduled  to  be 
played  Saturday  evening  Januaiy  the  24th 
at  8;00  p.m.  {in  the  gymnasium)_. 

Actually,  I  must  apologize  for  scolding 
vou,  because  the  calendar  of  events  threw 
us  all  a  nasty  curve.  You  see,  somehow 
this  activity  was  listed  as  "Dorm-Village 
Basketball  game,"  and  you  were  probably 
looking  for  "Rees  Series' .  Right?  Thai  s 
only  logical. 

Now  up  10  this  point,  as  you  are  well 
aware,  I  have  been  a  bit  sarcastic.  And  you 
probably  Ihink  that  I  am  a  sports  enthuasiast 
who  is  upset  because  the  Rees   Series  has 
been  mysteriously  phased  out.  Also,  those 
of  you  who  believe  sports  and  competition 
should  be  eliminated  from  SDA  schools  are 
perhaps  a  little  hot  under  the  collar,  or 
bored  to  say  the  least.  But  read  on.  I 
think  you  will  find  my  point  valid. 

Actually  1  believe  sports  in  America 
today  are  nothing  less  than  an  idol.  And

To  be  fair  we  must  examine  both  sides 
of  the  sports  issue,  particulary  the  Rees 
Series. 

We  must  ask:  Is  all  competition  bad? 
Why  single  out  sports  when  practically 
every  aspect  of  life  is  compelition?(grades, 
jobs,  dating,  the  great  controversy).  Are 
sports  not  an  acceptable  form  of  recreation 
according  to  God's  word?    Can  not  sports 
be  of  value  if  put  in  their  proper  perspective? 
Does  the  nature  of  sports  make  this  compe-

case.  There  are  factors  which  favor  coll- 
ege marriage  likewise  there  is  substantial 
evidence  indicating  young  people  should 
delay  marriage  until  their  education  is 
complete. 

College  marriages  involve  young  people. 
Therefore,  young  people  were  given  an  op- 
portunity to  express  tneir  views  on  the  col- 
lege marriages.  One  should  keep  in  mind 
that  a  college  marriage  is  not  necessarily 
an  early  marriage.

I  have  greater  motivation  to  achieve  my 
goal  than  say  a  young  single  person  (or  the 
average  person)." 

Male  Student:  "Although  Mrs.  White 
wrote  much  about  young  people  going 
overboard  with  the  idea  of  courtship  and 
marriage  while  in  college,  it  must  be  rem-

their  family  background  in  ways  that  af-

COUNTERPOINT 


1  jiisl  liappened  to  be  looking  over  my  roommate's  shoulder  as  lie 
was  writing  tliis  weeic's  editorial  for  the  Accent,  and  what  1  saw  made 
me  shake  my  head  in  amazement.  Maybe  he  had  just  gotten  engaged, 
but  it's  hard  to  believe  that  in  just  a  few  months'  time  he  could'have' 
been  won  over  to  tlie  "camp  with  the  curves"  ( tliey  always  are  de- 
ceiving) and  betray  his  true  friends  in  Talge  Hall. 

For  those  of  my  friends  in  Talge  who  didn't  catch  the  not-loo- 
subtle  inference  in  'Vingling's  editorial,  its  major  thesis  is  that  llie 
men  in  Talge  Hall  are  a  bunch  of  chickens,  and  that's  v.'hv  not  too 
many  girls  are  getting  asked  out  around  here. 

Going  even  further,  Yingling's  editorial  asserts  that  the  females 
on  this  campus  are  to  be  commended  for  their  great  courage  in  tak- 
ing an  initiative  which  the  male  population  is  too  cowardly  to  make. 
I  resent  such  a  rash  editorial,  an  editorial  based  upon  anything  but 
objectivity! 

Now  I  am  going  to  refute  his  argument  point  by  point,  that  is- 
if  you  can  call  it  an  argument.  Take  away  the  sentimentality  and 
exaggerated  generalities,  and  I  am  sure  that  you  will  be  able  to  see 
that  the  only  truth  to  be  found  within  his  pseudo^editorial  is  con- 
tained within  its  first  sentence. 

The  main  weakness  in  my  roommate's  editorial  is  the  fact  that  lie 
assumes  that  there  is  equal  attraction  between  the  two  sexes  here  at 
SMC,  and  therefore  equal  motivation  for  dating.  Obviously,  this  is 
not  the  case!  The  massive  numbers  of  girls  tying  up  the  telephone 
lines  in  order  to  secure  a  date  for  the  banquet  this  year,  in  contrast 
to  the  lackadaisical  "who  cares"  approach  of  the  guys  last  ye,ir.  dem- 
onstrates that  somewhere  along  the  line  the  two  sexes  have  acquired 
different  motivations  in  seeking  out  a  date.  In  the  case  of  tlie  girls 
here  at  SMC,  they  obviously  feel  the  need  to  date  a  great  deal  more 
than  the  guys  do. 

I  would  like  to  suggest  that  there  are  perhaps  three  reasons,  great 
courage  not  being  one  of  them,  why  SMC  co^;ds  took  such  an  aggres- 
sive "ask  em  out"  stance  towards  the  banquet  this  ye; 
First  of  all,  a  banquet  really  isn't  that  much  differe 
any  other  date,  for  he  has  the  option  of  asking  a  girl  c 
wants  to.  For  the  girl,  however,  the  banquet  is  that  o 
that  comes  along  every  two  years  when  she  has  the  opportunily  lo 
ask  oul  the  guy  of  her  dreams.   Under  such  circumstances,  it's  my 
opinion  that  a  airl  would  be  more  highly  motivated  to  get  on  IheoW 
phone! 

Secondly,  in  our  society  a  guy  that  isn't  married  -  even  in  his  ale 
20's  ~  is  often  considered  a  cool,  swinging  bachelor  who  is  just  play- 
ing the  field  and  enjoying  every  minute  of  it.  But  the  female  who 
gels  through  college  and  doesn't  snag  a  man  is  stigmatized  in  a  very 
ncualive,  old-maid  type  manner.  Parents,  relatives,  and  friends  keep 
asking  the  question,  "I  wonder  what  was  wrong  with  her  thai  she 
couldn't  gel  a  man?"  Obviously  this  stigmatization  of  the  single  le- 
iiiale  leads  to  a  more  intense  motivation  to  establish  a  permaneni, 
interpersonal  relationship,  thus  resulting  in  a  greater  need  to  dale  ana  J

There  has  been  something  on  my  mind 
causing  a  bit  of  concern.  Ever  since  I  have 
been  a  student  here  at  SMC  ihere  has  been

recently  entered  the  infirmary.  As  I  was

is  your  I.D.  number?'"  You  have  to  have

When  you  go  to  the  gym  and  start  lo

that  loo  much  emphasis  on  the  I.D.  number 
has  a  dehumanizing  effect  on  the  individuals 
who  receive  the  number.  Let  us  not  forget 
that  we  are  humans.  Humans  created  num-

a  similar  administrative  function. 

Approval  was  given  at  the  board 
meeting  for  definite  exploration  rel- 
ative to  the  purchase  of  a  Tracker  or- 
gan for  the  Music  Department.    Ac- 
cording to  Knittel.  the  Tracker  organ 
will  be  a  great  asset  to  the  department. 

"It  is  considered  in  most  musical 
circles  in  Europe  and^ther  parts  of 
(he  world  to  be  the  finest  type  of  or- 
gan available.    In  contrast  to  organs 
which  operate  on  electrical  impulses, 
the  Tracker  organ  provides  direct  me- 
chanical operation  of  the  pipes  and 
gives  greater  sensitivity  of  response  be- 
tween the  organist  and  the  mechanism." 

The  Tracker  organ  system  usually 
requires  a  two  to  three  year  waiting 
period  between  time  of  order  and  in- 
stallation. 


Robertson  To  Work  On  Series 
Of  Music  Textbooks  % 

The  General  Conference  has  asked 
Dr.  Marvin  Robertson,  chairman  of  the 
SMC  Music  Depar 


r  that  will  be  making  plans  to  dev- 


sof  n 


n  SDA  ele- 


books  and  materials  for  u 
mentary  schools. 

In  1972  Dr.  Robertson  wrote  to  the 
GC  suggesting  thai  the  current  textbooks 
being  used  by  the  elementary  schools 
were  in  need  of  revision.  He  also  said 
that  the  books  used  by  the  upper  grades 
were  going  out  of  pririt  and  asked  the 
GC  to  study  this. 

Miss  Ethel  Young.  General  Confer- 
ence Elementary  Education  Supervisor, 
replied  that  the  education  department 
was  aware  of  these  problems  and  that 
the  needs  would  be  discussed  at  ihe 
nexi  meeting  of  ihe  textbook  comm- 
ittee.   Miss  Young  asked  Dr.  Robertson 
ro  write  a  letter  directly  to  the  com- 
mittee dealing  wilh  the  books. 

In  January  1974  a  special  commiliee 
was  called  by  ihe  GC  to  evaluate  the 
current  books  being  used  by  SDA  schools 
and  suggest  to  the  GC  on  changes  ihal 
needed  lo  be  made.

Kutzner  helped  make  my  first  year  of  college  adjustment  a 
little  easier    Every  time  he  saw  me  on  the  sidewalk  he  d  always 
flash  a  big  smile  and  say  "How's  your  courage  Bruce?''   It  was 
only  a  small  gesture  but  it  made  me  feel  good  just  to  know 

Kutzner  has  been  at  SMC  for  five  years  and  during  this  time, 
there  has  been  a  217f  increase  in  the  enrollment.    However,  his 
grealcsl  contribution  was  his  untiring  effort  and  enthusiasm  in

Good  bye  Arno.    I  don't  know  why  you're  going  to  "waste 
your  talents  at  a  big  institution  like  Loma  Linda  University 
when  you  could  stay  here  in  the  friendly  South,  but  I  guess 
moving  is  what  life  is  all  about  for  an  educator.   Good  Luck.

1  survey  class  in  auto  mechanics 


Accent 


In  the  editorial  "Sex  Stereotypes  and  Auto  Mechanics  Class," 
the  need  for  a  survey  class  in  maintenance  and  repairs  for  men 
as  well,  as  women  was  stressed.   Dr.  Janzen  of  the  Industrial  Arts 
Department  felt  that  there  were  several  drawbacks  in  having  a 
2-hour  survey  class  for  men,  but  he  did  agree  to  give  a  hst  of  the 
areas  that  could  be  realistically  covered.   Here  is  the  list: 

1,  Ihirory  of  engine  operation 

2.  engine  and  chasis  lubrication 

3  cooling  system  problems 

4  minor  ignition  system  servicing 
5,    tires-wheel  alignment  symptoms 

<i.    break  system,  operation  and  service 

7,    how  to  purchase  an  automobile  -  dealer  jargon 

If  you  would  seriously  consider  taking  a  2-hour  survey  class  in 
auto  mechanics  that  would  apply  for  a  general  education  require- 
ment but  not  toward  an  industnal  arts  major,  please  tear  off  the 
tollowmg  poll  and  place  it  in  the  box  at  the  desk  in  Talge  Hall

The   H\s\ory   Of   Valenfines 


nappy  Vaieniines  Day!    You  may  won- 
der how  this  day  for  sweethearts  got  started 
Before  496  the  Romans  had  a  festival  every 
year  called  Lupercalia.    Men  would  chance 
geitme  their  dream  girl  by  picking  names 
out  of  a  hat.  Then  the  partners  exchanged 
gifts  as  a  sign  of  affection.   They  usually 
enjoyed  one  another's  company  for  a  long 
lime  after  the  festival.   Many  of  these  court- 
ships ended  in  marriage. 

After  Christianity  spread,  churchmen 
tried  to  give  Christian  meaning  to  the  pagan 
festival.  In  496  Pope  Gelasius  changed  the 
Lupercalia  festival  of  February  15  to  SainI 
Valentine's  Day  on  February  14.  However, 
the  sentimental  meaning  of  the  old  festival 

Who  is  St.' Valentine?  There  are  two 
different  men,  and  it  is  not  clear  which 
one  the  day  was  named  after.   One  was  a 
priest  who  lived  in  Rome  during  the  20O's 
under  Emperor  Claudius  II.   He  was  tailed 
by  the  Romans  for  aiding  persecuted  thrisi- 
ians.   Tradition  has  it  thai  he  cured  his  jail- 
keeper's  daughter  of  blindness.   About  A.D. 
270  the  Romans  beheaded  him  on  Palaiine 


,  Christians  named  a 


Rome,  Porlo  Valent...,,  u..^.  ^^.  -u,^...-,^. 
The  name  was  changed  later  to  Porlo  de! 
Popolo. 

Another  Si.  Valentine  was  a  bishop  ot 
Inleramna  about  60  miles  from  Rome     He 
was  persecuted  for  converting  a  Roman 
faniify  to  Christianity.    He  was  beheaded  in 
Rome  about  A.D.  273. 

The  Middle  Ages  brouj 


Around  1446  England  recognized  Val 
entine's  Day.   A  man  would  get  his  spec 
iai  Valentine  by  picking  the  girl's  name  c 
of  a  vase.   This  practice'conlinued  into  tne 
1700's  when  the  men  started  wearing  their 
girl's  name  on  their  sleeve.  This  is  where 
the  saying  "He  wears  his  heart  on  his 
sleeve, '  came  from. 

Valentine's  Day  used  to  be  a  day  for 

Va/enf/ne 

Or 
April   Fool 

Dr.  Knitlel  doesn't  know  the  difference 
between  Valentine's  Day  and  April  Fool  s 
Day.  At  least  one  Valentine  s  Day  he  felt 

Frank',  (or  Frankie  as  his  female  college 
classmates  whistfully  whispered  when  they 
thought  of  him)  could  not  decide  which  of 
his  two  favorite  ladies  should  receive  his 
tender  regards  on  Valentines  Day.  To  side- 
slep  the  issue  he  bought  two  touching  Val- 
entine cards,  wrote  a  very  sentimental  note 
in  each,  addressed  one  envelope  to  Miss 
Charming  and  one  to  Miss  Wonderful,  drop- 
ped the  Valentines  into  the  envelopes,  mail- 
ed Ihem  and  waited  to  see  which  would  an- 
swer him  most  lovingly. 

A  week  later  white  the  great  lover  was

I-m  sorry  Uial  we  weren't  able  lo  prim  all  of  Ihe  material.  It  s  hard  to 
decide  what  should  be  included  in  an  issue  such  as  Ihis  and  wh"'.*""^  ^e 
left  out.  Some  of  those  decisions  weie  based  on  when  the  material  was  suo- 
nulled  or  on  the  space  left  lo  fill  in  specific  categories,  so  if  your  poem  or 
sloiy  wasn't  pubhshed,  it  doesn't  mean  it  wasii't  any  good. 

As  the  sayineeoes,  "All's  fair  in  love  and  war,  and  just  like  war, 
love  leaves  its  wounds  Often  the  person  who  has  been  hurt  or  who  is 
fnisttated  in  his  or  her  attempts  at  finding  that  special  peison  is  more 
likely  to  sit  down  and  express  his  feelings  on  paper  than  is  the  person  who 
has  found  an  experience  of  muhjal  love.  Since  this  is  the  case,  we  have 
more  sad  than  happy  material.  But  for  all  you  lonely  hearts-cheer  up. 
Ask  the  Francises  OT  Ihe  Cummings  and  they'll  tell  you  that  love  really  does 
mean  happiness  rather  dian  misery. 

Hopefully  there  is  enough  variety  in  this  paper  so  that  eveiyone  can 
find  something  pleasing  and  expressive  of  their  feelings.  Maybe  some  ol 
the  humorous  pieces  will  seem  stupid  rathei  than  funny  and  the  serious 
stories  and  poetry  trite  and  overly  sentimental,  but  at  least  give  us  the 
credit  for  ttying  to  please  you.  For  you  news  buffs,  there  will  be  a  paper 
next  week  strictly  devoted  to  the  facts  and  nothing  but  the  facts.

the  cafeteria  line  are  any  indication,  the  reaction  to  the  Point-Counterpoint 
was  stronger  than  the  voting  indicated.  Based  on  the  verbal  feedback  the

1  am  a  quilt  nut.  I  make  quilts.  I. like  to  go  to  the  quilt  display 
at  Norihgate  and  browse  through  quilt  books  when  ever  I  get  the 
chance.  By  looking  at  a  quilt,  you  realize  it  is  diversity  that  makes 
it  beautiful-the  mulli-colored  and  multi-patterned  material  blend- 
ing into  a  beautiful  work  of  art. 

We  look  back,  maybe  near,  maybe  far,  at  the  mistakes  we  have 
committed  as  if  tliey  were  flaws  in  our  lives.  We  regret  the  past 
and  fear  the  future.  Okay,  maybe  we  have  done  some  stupid  things- 
breaking  promises,  making  fools  of  ourselves,  hurting  someone 
needlessly-but  it's  over.  The  wrong  things  go  right  alongside  all  the 
right  things  we've  done.  We  must  be  grateful  for  all  we've  been 
tlirough  for  it's  why  we  are  what  we  are  now.  Diversity  is  what 
makes  us  interesting,  yes.  beautiful  people.  It's  not  a  waste  of  time. 

Dorothy  Thompson  wrote:  "And  only  when  we  are  no  longer 
afraid,  do  we  begin  to  live  in  every  experience,  painful  or  joyous; 
to  live  in  gratitude  for  every  moment,  to  live  abundantly." 

I  entourage  you.  especially  now  that  "spring  has  sprung"  (prob- 
ably a  talse  alarm),  to  add  some  diversity  to  your  schedule.  Witness 
a  sunrise  or  sunset.  Go  on  a  wild-goose  chase.  Start  a  hobby  or  a 
habit.  Just  simply  do  something  you  wouldn't  normally  do.  or  don't 
have  time  for. 

For  the  pieces,  tjie  crazy  and  sensible  moments,  the  right  and 
wrong  decisions  you've  made  todayto  fit,  ask  Jesus  to  make  your 
life  a  beautiful  quilt.

way?   Perhaps  the  fact  that  guys  are  accused 
of  being  dull  witted  and  are  warned  about  the 
wiles  of  women  causes  Ihem  lo  be  leary  of 
"letting  her  get  to  you."  Thus  so  many  de- 
vices are  used  on  both  "sides    and  real  com-

could  be  partly  solved  by  a  better  outlook

it  as  a  punishment? 

Yes,  but  as  an  authentic  individual  he 
will  not  love  merely  to  assume  an  unwar- 
ranted interference  in  the  other's  life.  You 
see  you  are  called  upon  to  exercise  much 
self-constraint  in  not  constraining  others. 

But  what  if  1  don't  like  the  way  the 
other  person  is? 

Though  your  impulses  toward  the  other 
person  may  be  negative,  as  a  true  lover  you 
will  move  forth  in  acceptance  of  the  other's 
essential  worth  as  a  being  in  the  process  of 
becoming  in  the  presence  of  God,  You 
dare  not  label  unclean  what  God  has  de- 
clared clean! 

Does  Ihis  acceptance  you  speak  of  mean 
that  I  must  condone  the  other  s  behavior? 

No  indeed.  It  merely  means  that  you 
base  your  concern  and  care  for  him  on  the 
fact  of  his  infinite  worth  before  God 
But  the  way  you  talk,  love  seems  all 
Iwardly  directed.  Won't  that  ultimately 
""  —  spiritually  impoverished? 
!■-».  icdlly.  for  love  requires  both  your 
self-understanding  and  your  self-evaluat- 
ion. For  example,  to  express  love  for  the 
poor  does  not  mean  that  you  ought  only 
to  give  alms.  The  deepest  love  is  expressed 
by  your  effort  to  know  yourself,  which  in 
turn  means  to  know  God.  Only  then  are 
you  prepared  fully  to  understand  and  ac- 
cept your  fellow  man. 

Isn't  it  a  sign  of  weakness  to  let  your- 
rlf  express  tender,  positive  feelings? 


On  the  contrary,  true  love  is  bound  up 
both  with  community  and    - 


what  you  possess  is  not  likely  love. 

What  does  love  have  to  do  with  Iruth? 

Briefly,  the  power  of  love  communicated 
originates  in  truth,  which,  of  course  require; 
a  community  of  two.  Your  ability  to  love 
permits  you  to  touch  reality,  especially  that 


Fine,  but  answer  the  question,  will  you 
please? 

Well,  love  still  excites  an  old  person  like 
me  because  through  love  I  become  more 
fully  aware  of  my  responsibility  for  my 
fellow  man.  Man's  highest  nobility  is  not 
to  be  found  in  isolation  but  in  an  encounter,

After  the  SA  has  provided  for  the 
students'  needs  and  pleasures,  that  same 
spirit  can  and  should  be  manifested  in  the 
surrounding  community.  For  instance, 
in  time  of  natural  calamities,  or  needy 
families,  tlie  SA  can  play  a  concerned 
role  in  the  reshaping  of  these  situations. 

But  these  efforts  aren't  made  possible 
by  one  person.  It  lakes  a  united  drive 
of  people  who  are  concerned  and  believe

For  U  President 

FeUowStudentsofSMC, 

You  are  my  main  concern.'  As  a  can- 
didate for  the  SA  president,  I  can  see  the 
necessity  and  benefit  of  planning  social 
programs  for  you.  religious  programs  for 
you,  of  organizing  a  clear  and  well  structur- 
ed student  government  for  you,  and  of 
keeping  the  channels  of  communication 
open  to  you.  If  elected  I  not  only  will 
"'~'e  to  carry  these  things  out  but  will  a 
strive  lo  work  on  other  important 
s  of  student  life. 

)ne  area  1  feel  is  important  is  the  ques- 
.,  "Are  you  getting  your  money's  worth 
n  tlie  SA?"  It  is  your  money  and  you 
ild  have  a  voice  in  the  quality  of  ed- 
lion  you  are  receiving  at  today's  higli 
es.  This  is  only  one  of  the  areas  I  would 
to  see  us  work  on;  another  would  be 
e  student  initiated  programs  where 
...„.e  students  can  become  involved  by 
participating  in  the  SA. 

Because  of  my  past  experience  in  academy 
SA,  here  at  SMC  as  senator,  and  vicepresident 
because  of  my  understanding  and  friendship 
with  the  administration,  antfbecause  I 
beheve  m  SMC  and  what  it  stands  for,  I 
beheve  I  can  serve  YOU  well  as  SA  president.

The  1976  basketball  season  drew  to  an 
anti-climatic  finish.  Halvcrsen  had  built  up 
such  a  big  lead  that  none  of  the  games  n    ' 


whether  they  came  to  the  game  or  not.  Last 
Sunday  Wliite's  team  had  only  three  players 
show  up,  and  Holland  won  on  a  forfeit. 
In  the  second  game  Halversen's  team 
(who  already  had  the  championship  sewn 
up)  got  four  players  out  for  the  game  a- 

giinst  Schultz.  Haiversen,  Thomas,  and 
ulan  were  not  able  to  make  it.  Exciting 
game  right?  Schultz  won.  Surprise! 

The  Dest  game  of  the  year  took  place 
last  Monday  night.  Holland  and  Schultz 
squared  off  for  their  last  big  show  down. 
In  previous  games  against  each  other  Schultz 
won  the  first  and  Holland  the  second.

and  looked  like  the  team  everybody  thought

Formal/zee/   Nonconformity  ? 

Walking  back  to  the  dorm  after  a  week  of  prayer  '^'^^'PjJ '  JTv^.i, 
niented  to  a  friend  on  how  much  1  was  enjoying  the  meetings.  Yeah, 
uley  are  good,"  he  replied,  "But  he  talks  about  the  same  th.ng  every 

'  Another  friend  added  his  two  cents,  then,  "Of  course  he  talks 
;ibout  rlie  same  thing.  There  is  only  one  thmg  that  counts  and  that  s 
ii  relationship  with  God."  .    c  i- 

Tlie  question  I'd  Hke  to  ask  is  have  we  exchanged  one  set  ot  cii- 
clies  for  another  one  set  of  pat  answers  for  another,  a  religion  of 
lormaiiiy  and  works  for  a  religion  of  righteousness  by  faith  which 
has  fuxome  formahzed  in  its  nonconformity  Do  many  of  us  now  toss 
around  tlie  word  lelationsliip  without  really  understandmg  the  mean- 
ing of  Ihc  word  in  the  same  way  that  the  old  stand-byes  of  justificat- 
ion, sanctitication.  and  propitiation  used  to  be  tossed  around? 

I  hope  this  isn't  the  case,  but  sometimes  I'm  afraid  it  is.  The  mes- 
sage that  Jere  Webb  emphasized  and  re-emphasized  in  his  week  of 
prayer  talks  is  the  key  to  Christianity  and  salvation.  Like  my  one 
friend  said,  a  relationship  with  God  is  the  only  thing  that  counts.  A 
personalized  devotional  life  is  the  only  way  to  gain  this  relationship. 
But  if  you  don't  want  to  accept  the  yoke  that  comes  along  with  the  ^ 
peace,  if  you  don't  want  to  be  made  willing  to  be  willing,  if  you  don't 
want  God  to  become  an  integral  part  of  your  life,  then  even  your  hour 
,1  day  spent  in  contemplative  meditation  will  become  another  form,  an- 
nllier  means  of  working  your  way  to  heaven. 

On  the  other  hand,  if  you  want  the  yoke  that  results  in  peace,  if  you 
wjnt  (o  be  made  willing  to  be  made  willing,  if  you  want  God  to  becomt 
an  integral  part  ol  your  life,  then  a  relationship  with  God  will  not  just 
W  J  set  of  words  but  an  experience,  and  the  time  you  spend  with  God 
will  not  be  just  another  thing  you  have  to  do  but  the  most  enjoyable 
lime  of  your  day.  „         ,,.    ..

What    Happened    To    Self    Service 


Dear  Editor, 

Well,  ii  looks  as  Iliougli  it  is  back  lo  ilie 
old  regime  at  the  cafeteria.  Self-service  was 
but  a  short-lived  attempt  lo  "'save  us  all  a 
lillle  money  by  keeping  prices  down."  Not 
that  anyone  has  officially  said  il  is  over,  but 
then  why  is  there  someone  standing  at  the 
end  of  the  deck  nearly  every  lime  I  go  to 
serve  myself  who  either  serves  me,  or  tells 
nie  how  full  I  should  (or  should  not)  fill  my 
lillle  bowl?  In  the  article  on  the  front  page 
of  the  January  15  issue,!  quote:  "Grange

Mr,  Gebert  has  been  in  other  narrow 

scrapes  besides  this  one.  Probably  one  of 

Ihe  closest  happened  on  an  earlier  (rip  to 

Bimini  when  a  twenty-eight  foot  crissciaft 

power  yacht  he  was  piloting  was  almost 

demolished  by  a  freigliter. 

"We  were  probably  about  ten  miles  east 
of  Miami  when  the  mishap  occurred."  said 
Mr.  Gebert.  "I  was  at  the  wheel  and  a 
friend  of  mine  was  acting  as  a  look-out  on 
deck.  I  saw  some  liglils  off  the  starboard 
bow  and  asked  him  lo  check  them  out. 
He  investigated  them  and  then  came  back 
where  1  was  and  lo|d  me  not  to  worry 
halever  it  is,"  he  said,  'it's  traveling  in  llie 
opposite  direction.'  But  not  more  than  five 
utes  later,  he  stuck  his  head  in  where 
IS  and  yelled,  'You're  on  a  collision 
rsewitha  1300-fool  freighler.' 
"Well,  1  put  the  helm  down  to  port  and 
swung  the  boat  as  far  left  as  she  would  go," 
related  Mr.  Gebert.  "Just  as  1  did,  this  huge 
freigliter  skimmed  by  riglil  off  our  star- 
board bow,  barely  missing  us.  I'm  telling 
you,  I  was  scared  to  death!    Everyone  elsu 
was  below  sleeping  and  wlicn  I  made  tlie  vm- 
lent  turn,  they  all  came  up  on  deck  lo  sfi-' 
what  was  wrong.  I  don't  think  any  of  us 
slept  much  the  rest  of  th^i  night." 

When  asked  it  "little  incidents"  hkf  iln 
aforc-mentioncd  made  sailing  a  riskier 
sport  llian  others,  Mr.  Gebert  stales, "' 
there  will  always  be  risks  involved  in  spi  >:  ■ 
but  surprisingly,  sailing  has  been,  slatis- 
tically,  one  of  the  safest." 

With  that  note  of  encouragement,  iiiav  Ih'

by  Ihe  children  who  stay  at  the  center 
Their  parents  are  students,  faculty  members 
bakery  employees,  and  come  from  Ihe 
mmunily  and  Chattanooga. 
The  CCC  is  licensed  as  a  day  care  cen- 
■,  not  as  a  nursery  school  or  a  kinder- 
garten. Two  of  the  requiremenis  involved 
in  getting  a  license  are  that  the  children  be 
from  ages  3  -  6  and  lhat  there  only  be  so 
many  children  for  a  given  amount  of  space 

lime.  For  the  CCC  Ihe  number  is 
18  children. 

Its  operation  schedule  is  planned,  bul 
structured  and  flexible.  Worship  conies 
9  a,m.  and  lunch  at  noon  with  nap  time 
immediately -following.  These  are  the  only 
scheduled  activities.  If  the  activity  for  Ihe 
day  is  painting,  the  teacher  may  bring  out 
the  art  supplies  at  10  and  leave  them  out 
for  two  hours,  but  the  children  aren't  forced 
to  participate  in  the  activity  if  they  don't 
wani  to.  The  teachers  try  lo  make  the 
activities  interesting  and  stimulating  so  Ihe 
children  will  want  to  lake  part. 

Debbie  Worley,  a  1975  graduate  of  SMC 
itli  a  BS  in  Home  Economics,  is  Ihe  head 
teacher  at  CCC.  One  of  her  responsibilities 
is  lo  plan  outings  and  activities  for  ihe 
children.  Al  least  once  every  two  weeks  a 
field  trip  is  planned.  Sometimes  a  special 
guesi  is  brouglit  to  (he  CCC  to  speak  to  the 
children  about  some  community  service. 
CCC's  latest  venture  was  a  trip  to  the  fire 
department.  Through  ihesc  oulings  ind

The  children  have  free  access  to  all  of  the

The  dramatic  play  area  is  a  place  where

The  CCC  room  was  included  in  the  plans

ihal  although  the  CCC  is  an  SDA-sponsored 
project,  it  is  inter-denominalional  in  its  out-

He  said  that  the  primary  reason  the  col- 
lege had  purchased  the  industries  was  to 
provide  employment  for  SMC  students. 
The  college  had  invested  large  amounts  of 
capital  in  the  businesses  and  had  to  borrov 
money  to  do  this.  By  selling  the  induslrie; 
Mills  continued,  it  brought  down  the  long- 
term  debts  of  the  college. 

Mills  was  quick  lo  add  thai  the  bus- 
inesses were  profitable,  but  thai  these  pro- 
fits were  being  reinvested  in  the  firms- 
some  of  ihe  money  being  in  accounts

The  Student  Senate  voted  unanimously 
on  Monday,  March  1  lo  accept  a  new  Con- 
stitution for  the  Student  Association.  Sbc 
months  of  work  have  gone  into  the  new 
proposals  and  revisions  of  the  present 

Subject  to  approval  by  the  Student  Af- 
fairs Committee,  and  finally  lo  the  student 
body  in  a  general  assembly  meeting,  the 
new  constitution  will  provide  a  clear,  con- 
cise, and  up-to-date  lool  to  be  used  by  the 
SA  in  serving  the  students,  according  to 
John  Cress,  SA  president. 

[jss  added  on  being  asked  his  feel- 
ings on  the  completion  of  the  constitution 
ivision,  "I  feel  that  we  have  accomplished 
great  task  this  year.  I've  been  waiting 
for  this  moment  for  a  long  lime!"

A  proposal  was  presented  to  the  Student 
Senate  by  Don  Ashlock,  editor  oi Hope,  a 
religious  magazine  slatted  recently  as  a  pro- 
ject of  the  chaplains  office.  Aslilock  asked 
for  S800  10  continue  publication  through 
this  semester.  Most  of  the  time  and  mater- 
ials are  donated,  but  printing  still  incurs 
a  heavy  outlay  of  funds. 

After  a  lengthy  discussion,  it  was  voted 
lo  appropriate  a  smaller  amount  of  S450 
for  Ibis  project.  Don  Ashlock  commented

Mrs.  Runyan  has  not  finished  her  studies 
in  behavioral  science,  but  she  expressed  the 
opinion  that  the  reason  SMC  doesrv't  require 
the  deans  lo  have  a  degree  is  that  education 
IS  not  the  most  basic  quality  of  a  good  dean 
Her  experience  has  shown  that  ability  to  or- 
ganize, build  up  a  favorable  rapport  with 
the  girls,  deal  fairly,  make  judgements,  and 
be  consislent,  exceed  education  as  important 
qualities  for  a  dean  lo  cultivate. 

Consistency  of  disposition  precedes  all 
else  in  Mrs.  Runyan's  mind  as  a  rule  of  life 
for  a  dean.  Without  a  knowledge  of  what 
things  will  incense  their  "substitute  mother" 
and  what  things  will  be  gently  passed  over, 
a  dorm  can  become  a  cage  of  unhappy  and 
troublesome,  sometimes  even  beastly,  females 

Next  year  the  Runyans  will  continue  lo 
hvc  in  their  present  home  until  a  larger  dean's 
home  which  is  in  the  planning  stages  is  com- 
pleted. Another  dean  will  join  the  SMC 
staff  but  no  information  isyel  available  as 

who  that  will  be.

Soullierii  Missionary  College  is  faced  witli 
a  record  cosi  for  electrical  energy  in  compar- 
ison with  ilie  pasi  few  years.  The  sum  needed 
10  pay  for  the  energy  consumed  on  campus 
amounts  lo  approximately  531,000  forllic 
month  of  Febiuary.  This  can  be  compared 
with  the  cost  for  the  same  month  of  the  past 
year  which  amounted  to  an  approximate 
S  24.000. 

The  accompanying  graph  provides  a  clear 
picture  of  the  relationships  of  electricity  cost 
in  three  fiscal  years.  The  graph  gives  a  belter 
understanding  of  the  rapidly  escalating  ex- 
pense of  electrical  energy. 

According  to  Elder  R.  C.  Mills,  Business 
Manager  for  SMC,  the  cost  of  electrical  con- 
sumption has  an  influence  on  sludenl  expenses. 
It  is  involved  with  the  budget  procedure.  ~' 
budget  is  determined  in  the  following  ma:

Although  the  budget  procedure  may  seem

Pressing    Issues     Need    Coverage 


•  desk"of  Professor  Guken,  a  noted  scholar  and  historian.  "Woulcl 
you  please  come  and  give  your  sage  wisdom  to  our  dear  students 
at  Happy  Valley,"  the  voice  at  the  other  end  said. 

Professor  Guken  scratched  his  nose,  nipped  through  he  cakndar 
on  his  desk,  and  then  just  like  professors  always  do  he  cleared  Ins 
throat  and  mumbled,  "I  suppose  it  could  be  arranged  Alter  all, 
he  thought.  I've  heard  of  Happy  Valley  and  schools  like  it  belore, 
and  I'd  really  like  to  see  what  they're  like.  Of  course  1  m  sure  IJiat 
it  really  isn't  all  that  different.  After  all  schools  are  schools  and 
students  are  students. 

Three  months  later  a  smiling  man  met  Professor  Guken  at  the 

I    airport  and  whisked  him  "away  from  the  trials  and  tribulations, 

I   radicals  and  agitators,  dopers  and  lovers,  of  the  oilier  side  to  the 

<    friendly  confines  of  Happy  Valley." 
Ah,  he  thought  to  himself,  maybe  these  people  do  have  the 

snlntinn  to  tile  ills  of  thc  wotld,  niaybc  I  have  found  Utopia  or 

closest  thing.  No  it  can't  be.  After  all  schools  are  schools 
and  students  are  students. 

O       Professor  Guken  squirmed  in  his  chair  while  the  announcements 
were  being  made  and  went  over  in  his  mind  the  points  he  was  going 

I to  make.  Finally  the  announcements  were  finished  and  he  was 

'  being  introduced.  He  strode  up  to  the  podium  and  cracked  his  fav- 

Qoritejoke.  A  few  students  laughed  weakly.  Oh  well  you  can't  win 
them  all.  What  he  wanted  to  say  was  more  important  than  a  dumb 

I    I  I  joke,  anyway. 

1 — 1-1       After  he'd  been  talking  for  10  minutes  tlie  mortifying  realizat- 
ion that  no  one  was  listening  suddenly  struck  home.  Students 
weren't  just  whispering,  they  were  talking  out  loud.  One  fellow  on 
the  front  row  was  snoring.  The  rustle  of  turning  pages  sounded 
hke  a  March  wind  storm,  and  occasionally  a  paper  airplane  drifted 
lazily  past  the  eyes  of  the  poor  professor.  He  felt  that  a  flock  of 
chattering  swallows  would  gain  just  as  much  from  his  speech  as 
these  students  were.  He  wished  he  could  sit  down  right  then  and 
call  the  whole  thing  off,  but  he  always  had  had  a  martyr  complex 
so  he  kept  on  talking,  counting  the  minutes  and  seconds  until  he 
could  escape  those  little  monsters  and  shake  off  tliis  nightmare  in 
the  confines  of  his  motel  room.  Then  to  top  everything,  right  when 
he  was  in  the  middle  of  liis  concluding  remarks  one  by  one  students 
began  to  get  up  and  leave.  He  muttered  something  like.  "I  guess 
it's  ...it's  time  for  this  program  to  end."  and  sat  down.  When  the 
students  realized  that  he  was  through  they  showed  their  first  spark 
of  interest,  clapping  their  fare-well. 

While  everyone  was  stampeding  out  the  door  the  smiUng  man 
came  up  to  Mr,  Guken,  "That  was  a  fine  speech  you  made,  I'm 
sorry  the  students  were  a  little  disorderiy  but  students  are  stu- 
dents. By  the  way,  if  you'd  like  I'll  take  you  on  a  tour  of  the  cam- 
pus after  we  go  up  to  the  cafeteria  to  eat." 

"Uh,  I  think  I'd  like  to  go  straight  back  to  the  motel.  You  know 
these  lecture  tours  get  quite  tiring."  Professor  Guken  wiped  the 
perspiration  off  his  brow  and  picked  up  his  notes.  Hmmph  he 
thouglit,    may  not  be  the  best  speech  maker  in  the  worid,  but  I 
do  think  1  deserved  a  little  more  common  courtesy  than  1  got  here 
at  Happy  Valley,  You  could  pay  me  twice  as  much  money  as  I  got 
this  time  and  I  still  wouldn't  come  back.

staff  tliat  we  as  a  coLege  need  to  devote 
some  time  to  pressing  issues  which  will 
affect  not  only  Southern  Missionary  Col- 
lege, but  the  community  as  a  whole.  One 
situation  which  is  foremost  in  my  mind 
(his  evening  is  the  decision  to  sell  the  col- 
lege industries. 


e  that  r 


of  the  students 


that  attend  lius  ii 

of  the  n 

lege  officials  ti 


T  made  by  col- 
existing  indusl- 
'  In  a  discussion  led  by  Mr.  Jan  Rush- 
ing of  the  Business  Administration  Depart- 
ment, the  point  was  made,  and  well  taken 
that  the  college  over  the  years  has  realized 
no  profit  from  the  operation  of  their  in- 
dustires,  and  to  continue  in  this  situation 
would  mean  disaster  for  not  only  the  in- 
dustries themselves,  but  the  college  and 
community  as  well.  It  appears  that  slowly 
but  surely  the  newly  formulated  dream  of 
a  non-industrialized  Southern  Missionary 
College  will  become  a  reality. 

When  the  industries  are  finally  sold. 
many  privileges  wliich  we  now  enjoy  could 
easily  be  taken  from  us.  There  are  several 
aspects  which  should  be  looked  into  from 
tlie  standpoint  of  future  activity  in  the 
Happy  Valley  which  we  now  know. 

First  of  all.  even  though  students  would 
be  the  most  desirable  workers,  due  to  lo- 
cation, morals,  etc.,  privately  owned  indust- 
ries would  be  under  no  obligation  to  employ 
them,  and  in  fact,  could  bargain  for  workers 


efficiency.  Students  now  Deneniin  f  " 
college  industries  would  becomueiinS 
the  unemployed  of  this  area^         ^*" 

Secondly,  even  though  competitivebu, 
mess  practices  in  the  Collegedale  ateaj 
enhance  the  quality  and  service  of  ih.!,, 
sent  industries,  it  would  not  be  long  J 
Friday  evenmg  and  Saturday  ^omZl 
the  interest  of  the  pubUc  of  cours.S 

be  mtroduced.  The  retailers' doorsS 
swing  open  on  the  Sabbath,  or  should «■ 
say  Saturday? 

Lastly,  even  though  increased  busirej 
would  profit  the  area  to  a  great  degree 
and  enlarge  it  in  the  future,  an  influx  of  L 
unhealthful  food  and  drink  would  bs  onhl 
a  stone's  throw  .  Perhaps  this  is  the  mori 
modern  image  we  wish  to  serve  andsprej 
to  the  corners  of  the  earth, 

Some  feel  the  solution  to  the  problem 


1  would  only  result  ii , 

latory  agreement,  thus  discrimination 
would  prevail.  Perhaps  we  could  sell  w 
the  condition  of  no  Friday  evening otSjtl 
urday  sales,  but  once  again  with  the  prolJ 
lem  of  our  unprofitable  industriesoi  ' 
the  way,  we  would  only  be  slapped  with  I 
a  suit  reading  on  its  face,  "Unreasonabli  | 
Restraint  of  Trade." 

The  industries  have  made  Soutfiern 
Missionary  College  a  prosperous  entity 
and  have  provided  a  healthy  future  for 
the  community  as  well  as  the  college  it- 
self. Why  should  we  alter  a  working,  wQ 
formulated  plan,  unless  we  have  somt 
thing  more  suitable  to  put  in  its  place? 

Sincerely  yours.

lirinkley  gave  example  after  example 
of  the  inefficiency  Uiat  conies  hand  in 
hand  with  a  large  bureaucracy.  For  in- 
stance, he  said  that  in  the  last  several 
years  the  number  of  farmers  in  Ihe  Un- 
ited States  has  decreased  but  that  the 
staff  of  the  US  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture has  increased  lOO'i'-  and  the  budget 
iOOTo,  When  the  US  printing  office 
printed  the  Nixon  transcripts  they  sold 
lliem  for  over  S 1 1  and  right  after  that 
when  two  private  publishing  houses 
came  out  wilh  the  same  material  they 
sold  it  for  less  than  S3.  "Did  you  ever 
wonder  wlui  j  Chev>'  would  cost."  asked 
lirinkley,  "it  iIk'  government  made  it?' 

Alter  his  slum  [jlk  the  floor  was  op- 
ened for  questions.  AHhougli  most  of 
the  questions  concerned  politics,  occas- 
ionally the  personal  clement  slipped  in. 
"Mr.  Brinkley,"  one  smiling  woman  asked, 
"when  are  you  and  Barbara  Wallers  going 


When  the  subject  of  detente  came  up 

took  a  very  pragmatic  approach,  say- 
ing that  trust  is  not  a  necessary  element, 
and  that  all  detente  means  is  an  attempt 
lo  have  a  somewhat  better  relationship. 
"Only  an  idiot  would  trust  the  Russians." 
However,  he  added  that  the  alternatives

jren'i  that  good. 

At  the  end  of  the  questioning  one 
member  in  the  audience  whispered  that 
she  felt  like  standing  up  and  saying  thank 
you  Mr.  President.  And  despite  recenl 
attacks  against  the  media  many  in  the 
audience  accepted  his  opinions  wilh  the 
same  awe  they  would  have  if  the  Presi- 
dent were  speaking.  "I  couldn't  believe

a  man  who  knows  kings  and  presidents, 
a  man  who  millions  of  Americans  have 
watched  every  night  on  television  "  one 
SMC  student  said. 

Brinkley  wasn't  all  that  awed  with  the 
audience,  though.  He  said  that  he  didn't 
care  what  they  did  while  he  was  talking 
because  nothing  bothered  him,  "1  talk 
to  people  every  niglit,"  he  chuckled,

Icanis,  you  get  back  up  on  this  perch

"Let's  get  some  rest,  Icarus.  Forget 
about  that  Dugal  and  his  cheese.  He  only 
causes  trouble." 

"Okay,  but  you  rest,  I'll  take  the  first 
sluft,"  volunteered  Icarus,  as  he  reluctantly 
gave  in  to  Aristotle's  request. 

"Fine,  but  remember,  keep  a  sharp  eye 
peeled  for  that  Dugal." 

Aristotle  soon  fell  into  a  deep  sleep. 
Watcliing  from  the  baseboard  below,  Dugal 
waited  until  he  was  sure  Icarus's  self-ap- 
pointed protector  had  drifted  off;  then  he 
sLthered  quietly  over  to  the  watch-post. 

"Psst,"  Dugal  whispered  so  as  not  to

"What  do  you  want?"

"Why,  thank  you,  my  friend."  Icanisl 
answered  with  confidence  and,  hopping 
over  to  Ills  "friend's"  gift,  he  began  to 
indulge  himself.  It  was  at  ihis  exact  mo

planned  scheme.  Without  a  sound  he 
shot  across  the  floor:  and  before  Icarus

Looking  ai  iliis  cost  from  a  practical 
financial  slaiidpoini  liie  expenditure  is, 
in  actuality,  a  very  good  investment.  In

converts  will  almost  equalize  the  amount 
llial  was  spent  to  bring  (hem  into  God's 

But  some  oppose  this  reasoning  with 
Ihe  belief  ihal  "a  large  percenlage  of 
those  baptized  won't  stay  in  the  church." 
Such  negative  thinking  is  repulsive  to  me. 
A  pessimistic  outlook  exhibited  by  the 
laymen  musl  be  awful  discouraging  lo 
men  wlio  are  seeking  to  do  the  work  of 
Ihe  Lord  in  a  inighly  way.  In  Evangelism 
page  72,  hlleii  While  slates:  "Those  who 
are  engaged  in  llic  difficult  and  trying 
work  in  the  cities  should  receive  every 
encouragement  possible.  Lei  them  not 
be  subjected  to  unkind  criticism  from 
their  brethren.  We  musl  have  a  care  for 
the  Lord's  workers  who  are  opening  Ihe 
light  of  truth  to  those  who  are  in  dark- 
ness of  error." 

Christ  himself  declared,  "No  house 
divided  against  itself  will  stand."  (Matt. 
1 3: 25)  Lei's  cease  tearing  down  the  ef- 
forts of  our  own  brethren  who  are  trying 
to  give  this  last  warning  message  lo  a 
world  dial's  swamped  with  a  great  num- 
ber of  attractions  diverting  their  attent-

could  be  joined  together  for  one  conver- 

As  a  freshman  1  spent  amazing  lengths 
of  time  toying  with  the  novelty  of  havide 
a  phone  in  my  own  room.  Gradually  we 
all  got  used  to  the  idea,  and  Ihe  phone 
system  metamorphosed  from  a  plaything 


Now,  it  is  often  a  nuisance  and  I  fre- 
quently find  myself  wishing  1  could  be 
rid  of  the  infernal  conlraplmn. 

It's  not  so  much  the  phortf  m  in^

that  threaten  to  drive  me  up  (he  wall. 

It  seems  some  people  cannot  under- 
stand thai  if  a  phone  is  not  answered  wilfi- 
in  four  rings  nobody  is  home  (how  long 
does  it  take  to  cross  a  fifteen  fool  room') 
So  a  phone  rings  (en  limes  while  1  Iry  to 
take  a  nap.  Five  minutes  later  ii  ringsa- 
nother  ten  times.  Sometimes  it'll  ring 
every  five  minutes  for  an  hour  and  (here  s 
nothing  I  can  do  (o  shut  the  thing  up. 
It's  maddening!! 

All  I  can  do  is  suggest  to  people  lha[

Nineteen  persons;  one  ornithology  in- 
structor, Mr.  Edgar  Cnindset,  his  wife 
Valera,  13  current  ornithology  students, 
three  former  students,  and  one  wife,  pack- 
ed themselves  and  their  luggage  into  two 
vans,  (named)  "La  Paloma  Blanca"  and 
"Fly,  Robin,  Fly"  and  a  luggage  trailer, 
on  March  3,  6:00  a.m.  and  headed  to 
Florida  for  the  annual  ornithology  field 
trip  to  see  and  experience  new  siglils  and 
sounds  (particularly  birds!). 

The  purpose  of  tlie  trip,  counted  as 
tab  time,  is  to  acquaint  the  students  with 
birds  in  their  natural  ecological  zones, 
and  lo  observe  birds  in  a  variety  of  habi- 
tats. Florida  is  an  excellent  location  for 
this  intention:  some  birds  are  wintering 
there  this  time  of  year,  birds  may  be  ob- 
served along  the  coast  and  the  gulf,  and 
the  southern  tip  of  Florida  is  the  only 
tropical  zone  In  the  continental  USA. 

Birding  was  conducted  at  Payne's 
Prairie,  Cape  Canaveral,  Loxalialcliee 
Wildlife  Sanctuary,  Everglades  National 
Park,  Greynold's  Park,  Corkscrew  Swamp 
Sanctuary,  with  many  stops  in  between. 

Highlights  of  the  trip  included: 

1.  Spotting  and  photographing  the 
short-tailed  hawk  at  a  very  short  distance, 

Aniiinga  Trail, 

2.  Observing  the  nesting  yellow-crown- 
ed night  heron  al  Corkscrew  Swamp  Sane- 

3.  Seeing  a  reddish  egret  at  Flamingo 
pacing  back  and  forth. 

Flushing  out  fulvous  tree  ducks  at 
Loxahatchee. 

5,  A  tremendous  view  of  "real"  scarlet 
ibis  with  five  hybrids  surrounding  it,  rang- 
ing in  color  from  hght  pink  to  orange  sal- 
mon, at  Greynold's  Park, 

6,  Seeinglotsof  wood  stork  nests  al 
Corkscrew  Swamp,  wliile  many  young 
were  vocalizing. 


e  birds  al  Cape 

9.  Good  view?  of  roseate  spponbills 
and  skimmers  at  Flamingo. 

10,  Mottled  ducks  and  shovelers  at 
Nine-Mile  Pond. 

The  group  worked  very  diligently, 
rising  between  4:00-6:00  a.m.  However. 
the  diligence  payed  off  because  an  all 

record  of  seeing  148  birds  was  set. 
Although  the  class  was  "in  lab"  for  most 
of  their  spring  vacation,  they  managed 

fun  besides  birding;  there- 
fore ^'kiUing  two  birds  with  one  stone", 
A  whole  day  was  spent  at  Disney  World 
evening  at  Parrel's  Ice  Cream  Par- 
lor. There  were  picnic  lunches,  a  few 


church  members  in  Miami,  Orlando  and 
Tampa;  ice  figlits,  much  hilarity  in  the 
vans  (since  much  time  was  spent  in  them) 
including  Rook  games,  and  talking  on 
the  CB,  singing,  leasing,  and  laughing. 

Arriving  back  at  SMC  on  the  evening 
of  March  9  after  travelling  approximately 
2500  miles,  sunburned,  exhausted,  tat- 
tered, torn  and  delirious,  all  that  (most 
oQ  the  group  wanted  to  do  was  turn  a- 
round  and  do  it  again!

Swede  Hellgren  expressed  his  appre-

turned  out  in  mass  throughout  the  season, 
d  the  faithful  work  of  those  who  offi-  ' 
lied  Ihe  games.  Not  only  was  enthus- 
^m  high,  but  some  fine  playing  was  also 
en  on  the  courts.  Swede's  choice  of  an 
llslar  team,  if  he  were  required  lo  create 
ic  would  include:  Schoen,  Smith,  Mor- 
^  n,  Richey.  Everts,  Pumphry,  McGhcc, 
Reynolds,  and  Fuller. 

Leading  scorers  for  the  season  were:

to  hold  Smith  to  a  meager  IS  points(l3 
of  which  Chana  scored)  while  ihe

patience  and  love,  and  a 
that  displayed  by  the  father  of  the  prodi- 
gal son  who  always  loved  that  son  and  on 
his  return  saw  him  while  yet  a  long  way 
off  because  that  was  the  direction  the  fath- 
er kept  looking. 

"I  say  he  displayed  a  developed  pat- 
ience, and  you  know  I  could  go  on  for  a 
long  time  painting  a  picture  of  the  Ken- 
neth Wright  that  would  include  no  inher- 
ent weakness,  no  flaw  of  character-but  God 
did  not  prescribe  this  method-even  for  in- 
spired writers  of  His  Word.   He  had  them 
picture  the  impatience  of  Moses  and  the 
impetuousness  of  Peter,  and  Kenneth 
Wright  was  no  exception.    He  was  born 
"th  a  temper-a  fact  I'm  sure  many  of  you 
s  not  acquainted  with.    In  his  earlier 
years  of  administration  I  have  watched  the 
redness  spread  up  the  back  of  his  neck  as 
something  angered  him  (and  often  il  could 
be  called  righteousness  indignation)  and 
sometimes  in  that  anger  he  spoke  out  harsh- 
ly.   But  within  thirty  minutes  he  always 
:nt  back  to  every  one  who  had  been  with- 
hearing  distance  of  his  angry  words  and 
asked  for  their  forgiveness.  One  of  his  fav- 
ite  quotes  was,  'no  impatient  man  will 
ter  the  kingdom  of  God'   I  observed  Ken- 
neth Wright  until  that  temper  became  com- 
pletely under  the  control  of  the  Spirit  of 
God. 

"Kenneth  Wright  understood  youth.  He 
loved  to  play  ball  with  thern  and  when  we 
played  he  automatically  batted  in  the  clean- 
up position  on    whatever  team  he  played

•         EDITORIAL 

An    Ode    To    Spring    Fever 


It's  one  of  those  sunny  Collegedaie  days  that's  so  beautiful 
you  almost  forget  about  all  the  rainy  ones.    Frisbees  are  float- 
ing lazily  across  the  campus,  the  dorm  lobby  is  full  of  students 
wearing  cut-offs  and  T-shirts,  and  the  tennis  courts  look  so  in- 
viting I  can  almost  feel  the  ectasy  of  an  ace  or  a  put-away  over- 
head.   But  can  I  take  advantage  of  this  fine  weather,  of  the 
fresh  air  and  sunshine,  of  the  vibrance  of  the  budding  spring- 
no!    Because,  you  see,  I  have  to  write  the  editorial  for  the 
SOUTHERN  ACCENT. 

However,  for  some  strange  reason  nothing  seems  to  click. 
Right  now  I  could  care  less  about  the  economics  behind  the 
pant  suit  questions  or  fiscal  responsibility  vs.  quality  education. 
and  I  can't  come  up  with  more  than  one  or  two  sentences  on 
the  old  stand-byes  of  moral  questions  like  the  affects  of  rock 
music  or  the  efficacy  of  theater  attendance. 

But  there  is  one  subject  1  can  write  on-and  that's  spring 
fever  (or  should  1  say  pre-summer  fever).    This  disease  has  several 
symptoms  which  even  those  not  versed  in  the  medical  or  psycho- 
logical fields  can  detect.    Surprisingly,  it  first  begins  its  insidious 
work  on  a  miserably  rainy  day.    (At  least  this  is  the  way  it 
works  in  my  case.)    You  blame  all  of  your  woes  on  the  lousy 
weather,  begin  feeling  sorry  for  yourself,  and  then  start  ration- 
alizing that  no  matter  how  many  term  papers  you  have  due  or 
how  many  tests  you  have  to  study  for,  you're  going  to  treat 
yourself  the  first  nice  day  that  comes  around.    This  is  all  right 
as  long  as  there  aren't  any  nice  days,  but  woe  be  unto  your 
grades  when  all  of  asudden  there  is  a  streak  of  good  weather. 

Another  symptom  is  a  general  feeling  of  restlessness.    You 
find  yourself  gazing  out  the  window  during  classes,  and  thouglits 
of  romance  and  recreation  win  out  over  the  causes  of  the  great 
depression  or  the  principles  of  the  quantum  theory. 

This  disease  also  spreads  faster  than  a  juicy  rumor.    For  in- 
stance, take  this  hypothetical  situation.    Bob  comes  back  to  the 
room  after  class  and  plops  his  books  on  the  bed.    "How  'bout 
a  good  game  of  tennis,"  he  asks  his  roommate   Jim 

"I've  got  to  go  to  class."  Jim  answers.    But  in  almost  the 
same  breath  he  mutters  that  if  he  went  to  class  he'd  probably 
sleep.    Besides  he  really  did  need  some  exercise.    After  plavine 
tennis  all  afternoon    Jim  isn't  in  the  mood  to  study,  so  he  calls 
up  his  girifnend  and  tells  her  that  since  a  full  moon  comes  only 
once  a  month,  they  should  take  advantage  of  it  and  go  for  a 
walk,      1  won't  continue  this  illustration  any  further,  for  i  tliink 
you  ve  got  the  pomt. 

You  can  live  with  spring  fever  and  still  be  a  college  student 
t  you  keep  its  worst  symptom  under  control-procrastination'

Dear  Editor: 

In  this  letter  I  would  like  to  attempt 
to  give  some  credit  where  credit  is  due. 
I  won't  begin  to  try  to  mention  everyone 
that  should  be  mentioned,  so  if  I've  left 
you  out,  you  can  thank  your  lucky  stars. 

*  First,  an  honorable  mention  for  Ms. 
Frances  Atidrews,  Mr.  Hannum,  and  Gary 
Eldridge  for  their  hard  work  and  planning 
that  made  the  recent  Communications 
field  trip  possible. 

*  The  Smooth  Move  Award  goes  to 
Mr.  Grange,  of  cafeteria  fame,  who  suc- 
ceeded in  letting  a  truckload  of  Steak-0's 
spoil  in  the  freezer. 

*  Dr.  Marvin  Roberlson  deserves  acknowl- 
edgment for  his  part  in  making  the  Academy 
Music  Festival  a  real  success.  All  the  Music 
Department  people  share  in  this  honor. 

*  Congratulations,  Bart  Willrulh,  on  being 
appointed  Religious  Vice-president  for  the 
76-77  school  year. 

*  A  note  of  attention  goes  to  Bruce 
Yingling  for  publishing  a  school  paper  on 
schedule  every  week  of  this  year. 

*  Special  mention  goes  to  Dean  Evans, 
who  every  year  tries  to  outdo  himself  in 
thinking  up  irrational  solutions  to  the 
room  reservation  fiasco.    This  year  he's 
done  it  again! 

*  Dr.  Norman  Peek  and  liis  hard-working 
staff  deserve  a  belated  note  of  appreciation 
for  their  part  in  making  the  programs  on 
this  campus  go  as  smoothly  as  possible. 

*  Thanks  to  Ole  Kristensen  for  his  leader- 
ship and  interest  in  his  students  and  his  knowl- 
edge of  photography.   Administration  take 
notice:    We  Want  Him  To  Stay!!

the  March  18  issue  of  (he  Somheni

Our  student  body  is  so  mde  toei

of  us  deserved  an  even  greater  rebute 
than  the  one  expressed  in  "Ptofessoi

Even  if  one  doesn't  want  to  allind 
chapels,  treating  a  guest  speaker  like 
dirt  is  not  in  the  least  bit  justifiable. 

In  fact.  I  don't  think  we  should bi

kdventism  And  America 
Theme  For  Weekend  Series 


;  subject  of  Adventism  and  America 
iheme  for  a  special  weekend  series 
SfGiing  llie  bicentennial,  starting  April 
thapel.  continuing  for  Friday  night 
«i  and  both  church  services,  and  con- 
ijig  Willi  a  meeting  at  3:00  Sabbath 
lOon  this  subject  will  be  approached 
several  different  angles. 
,1,  W.  H,  Beaven.  Dean  of  Kettering 
kge  of  Medical  Arts  will  speak  for 
■  ipel  and  vesper  programs.    He  brings 
i  outlook  on  the  work  of  the  church 
iubjecl.  Because  of  his  experience 
ikinist ration,  education,  temperance, 
Imsdical  work  he  has  had  much  op- 
liinily  to  see  Ihe  effects  of  Adventism 
te  American  way  of  life  and  will  dis- 
illiese  effects. 

3iletR.  R.  Hegstad,  editor  oi  Libert)' 
aJne,  approaches  the  subject  of  the 
■:u  of  Adventism  of  America  from  the 
of  llie  preservation  of  the  Adventist 
Ihe  face  of  a  democracy, 
lies,  Ihe  Sabbath,  and  the 


desire  to  conduct  an  educational  system 
independently  of  government  intervcnlion, 
for  example,  fill  much  of  his  lime  as  ed- 
itor of  a  magazine  with  the  purpose  of 
maintaining  the  freedoms  of  Americans, 
especially  Adventist  Americans  by  being 
a  voice  to  Ihe  thought  leaders  of  the  nat- 

br.  Greenleaf,  chairman  of  SMC's  bi- 
centennial planning  committee  espressed 
the  purpose  of  the  entire  bicentennial  pro- 
gram on  this  campus  as  a  probing  of  ihe 
overall  meaning  of  the  American  experience 
rather  than  a  meaningless  and  riotous  cele- 
bralion.   The  series  planned  for  Ihe  week- 
end of  April  8-10  is  to  continue  this  in- 
depth  probing  into  an  area  which  touches 
Adventist  students  perhaps  more  directly 
than  any  other  area  of  lecture.   An  under- 
standing of  Ihe  effect  of  Adventist  on 
America  and  how  American  Adventists 
differ  from  other  Adventists  because  of 
the  American  experience  is  the  purpose 
of  these  talks  by  Hegstad  and  Beaven.

the  chapels  thought  that  Ihe  subjects 
covered  were  good,  but  that  there  were 
still  more  that  could  have  been  included. 
Some  ideas  he  suggested  were  relations 
to  in-laws,  raising  clijldren,  and  social 
relationships  after  marriage. 

In  previous  years,  Ihe  seminars  were 
held  over  one  weekend;  however.  Mrs. 
Davis  says.  "You  can't  possibly  cover 
everything  in  just  a  weekend.   Thai's 
why  they've  run  it  oul  into  live  chap- 
els."  She  estimates  thai  80-90  students 
attended  a  typical  session,  and  adds 
that  these  chapels  seemed  lo  be  very 
much  appreciated  by  Ihe  students. 

According  to  a  survey  of  non-engaged 
students,  future  seminars  should  include 
the  following  subjects:    Birth  control, 
child  guidance,  home  planning  and  man- 
agement, development  of  llie  relation- 
ship before  engagement,  compalibihly 
and  communication.   The  general  feel-

attend.

yards,  Helgren  converled  a  free  kick,  making 
[he  score  1  ■  0.    Five  minutes  later.  Coach 
Moon  sent  a  hard  pass  in  front  of  the  goal 
mouth  which  Lars  Gustavsson  drilled  into 
the  empty  goal,  making  tlie  score  2  -  0. 
The  final  scoring  took  place  a  few  minutes 
before  half  time  when  Helgren  blasted  a 
hard  shot  in  the  lower  right  corner,  which 
escaped  the  reach  of  Luis  Carlos. 

The  second  half  was  scoreless  but  never- 
theless full'of  action.   Vargas  took  over 
the  playing  goalie  position,  and  he  made 
several  spectacular  saves  on  point  blank 
shots  by  Moon,  Gustavsson,  and  Helgren.

entitled  'Scatter  Seeds  of  Kindness',  tells 
the  story  of  a  mother  who  lost  her  temper 
and  fatally  injured  her  child  when  she 
was  correcting  her.  In  other  words,  the 
writer  of  the  hymn  was  trying  to  show 
us  that  we  shouldn't  lose  our  temper." 

Other  iivmns  to  be  sung  include  "The 
Gale  Ajar  For  Me",  the  hymn  which  H.M.S.

back  and  forth  in  dorm  bull  sessions  or  at  the  laundrymal  some  of  you 
are  usually  at  the  top  of  the  list.  You  not  only  have  to  obey  the  rules, 
but  you're  also  supposed  to  enforce  tliem.  Your  job  never  really  ends. 
Somehow  no  matter  how  hard  you  try  you  seem  to  be  one  day  behind, 
having  to  stay  up  late  and  get  up  early  in  the  morning  for  last-mmute 
preparations.  If  you  don't  put  these  extra  hours  into  your  work-it 
shows  and  you  get  blamed  lor  incompetency.  You're  expected  to  be 
a  walking  encyclopedia  and  yet  at  the  same  time  not  be  pedantic.  Just 
knowing  something  isn't  enough-you  have  to  be  able  to  explain  it. 
You're  expected  to  treat  a  most  rude  and  obnoxious  person  as  if  he 
were  your  own  son,  and  losing  your  temper  is  almost  unforgivable. 
Finally,  according  to  the  national  pay  scale  you're  getting  underpaid,

Not  Just  Another  Problem 


You'd  expect  to  find  this  problem  in  small  churches  out  in  the 
middle  of  nowhere,  or  even  in  the  middle  of  the  cold  realities  and 
endless  mazes  of  a  large  city-but  loneliness  on  our  campus  which  is 
so  warm  and  friendly,  where  everyone  walks  around  with  smiles, 
where  the  opportunities  for  Christian  fellowship  are  almost  innum- 
erable-no way.  But  you're  wrong.  Loneliness  is  an  even  greater 
problem  when  someone  is  starving  for  meaningful  companionship 
in  the  midst  of  plenty,  because  he  then  begans  to  think  that  if  he 
were  a  worthwhile  person  he  wouldn't  be  lonely.  Shallow  smiles 
and  condescending  hi's  aren't  the  solution  to  this  problem,  but  on 
the  other  hand  genuine  Christian  friendliness  can  bring  a  dash  of 
happiness  into  the  day  of  someone  who  is  down  in  the  dumps. 

It's  so  easy  on  a  college  campus  to  spend  all  of  your  time  with  a 
select  group  of  friends,  because  you  feel  comfortable  in  their  pres- 
ence. You  eat  with  these  friends,  talk  with  these  friends,  spend  your 
free  time  with  these  friends;  and  the  students  who  don't  belong  to 
a  "group"  withdraw  into  their  void  of  seclusion  and  unhappiness. 

I  suggest  that  you  notice  if  someone  is  always  eating  in  the  cafe- 
teria by  himself,  and  instead  of  looking  for  an  empty  table  where 
you  can  eat  with  your  friends  you  take  the  time  to  get  acquainted 
with  the  "loner."  You  might  just  get  pleasantly  surprised,  because 
otten  the  person  who  is  shy  and  introspective  has  a  certain  amount 
ot  depth  that  the  extrovert  jokester  doesn't  have.  All  this  person 
needs  is  a  little  prodding,  and  he  can  be  a  fascinating  individual. 

Now  I'd  like  to  address  myself  to  the  person  who  feels  that  if  he 
were  to  drop  off  the  face  of  the  earth  no  one  would  notice  let  alone 
care.  II  may  be  a  cliche,  but  it's  true  that  the  friendly  person  is  the 
one  who  has  friends.  If  you  go  out  of  your  way  to  avoid  people 
no  one  probably  will  notice  or  appreciate  you.  You  may  have  a 
thousand  reasons  to  go  around  with  a  scowl  and  you  are  probably 
a  martyr,  but  feeling  sorry  for  yourself  won't  help  matters  at  all    If 
you  smile  and  have  a  cheerful  word  to  say  when  you  don't  feel  like 
It,  I  guarantee  you  that  your  feelings  will  change

Dear  Editor, 


ninde 


Somelhing  lias  been  o 
since  I  ended  up  in  the  infirmary  about  a 
nionlli  ago,  and  I  feel  il  is  about  lime 
someone  speaks  out  on  tlie  subject  of 
this  well-known  place! 

First,  they  treat  us  like  prisoners,  at 
lunch  lime  and  at  niglit.  They  lock  the 
doors  on  us  as  if  we  are  going  to  escape 
or  go  to  the  other  side  of  the  infirmary 
to  visit  the  "opposite  sex."  We  are  ma- 
ture, college  students  (hopefully),  and 
should  be  trusted.  Are  there  reasons  for 
locking  the  doors? 

Wliile  I  was  in  the  infirmary,  some 
of  us  were  talking  and  I  began  wonder- 
ing..."What  would  we  do  if  there  was  a 
fire  at  lunch  when  we  are  locked  in  and 
there's  no  way  to  get  out,  (at  least  we 
couldn't  find  a  way  out)."  The  only 
possibility  1  saw  was  to  break  llie  win- 
dows or  call  someone  for  help  on  the 
one  lelephoiie  available.  It  is  a  Ihouglit 
to  ponder  on.  To  prove  my  point,  a 
friend  came  to  visit  my  roommate  and 
I  during  lunch  time.  Il  so  happened  that 
when  the  nurse  left  for  lunch  she  locked 
the  doors  and  our  visitor  was  locked  in 
too.  She  had  a  1:00  class  that  day,  so 
we  all  tried  to  open  all  the  available 
doors  and  all  were  locked.  There  wasn't 
anything  we  could  do  except  patiently 
wail  until  1 :00  and  this  resulted  in  our

the  good  things  about  the  infirmary. 
Some  of  the  nurses  are  really  nice  and 
try  to  help  you  get  well  and  be  comfort- 
able. Il  is  a  great  place  to  catch  up  on 
sleep  and  get  rid  of  colds  or  other  illnes- 
ses. Lastly,  a  doctor  sometimes  stops 
by .l-.:Jl.         ■  ■  ■    ■ 

terrific! 

Don't  get  me  wrong,  the  infirmary 
is  necessary  on  campus  and  is  good  to 
have,  but  it  is  time  some  changes  are 
made  and  NOW!

steak    O's    Revisited 


Editor's  note:   In  response  to  the  state- 
ment in  last  week's  letter  to  the  editor 
mentioning  the  Steak-0's  which  spoiled, 
Ronald  Grange,  the  director  of  food  ser- 
vices, stated  thai  the  students  will  not 
have  to  pay  for  the  loss  and  that  it  is  not 
being  billed  to  the  cafeteria.  The  problem 
resulted  when  there  was  a  malfunction  in 
a  freezer  at  the  College  Plaza  where  the 


Sleak-0's  were  being  stored.  Presenlly 
the  problem  has  been  fixed  and  1200 
cases  of  Steak-0's  have  been  moved  im 
town  where  they  are  being  stored  lo  l« 
plaza  freezer.  Other  groups  besides  Ife 
cafeteria  are  using  this  supply,  ^  '^« 
college  decided  in  the  future  to  only "' 
the  cafeteria  for  the  amount  the""*«"

Spiritual  Counseling 
Adds  New  Dimension 
To  Religious  Outreach 

Tiie  Spiritual  Counseling  Program  lias 
been  in  effect  since  Week  of  Prayer,  and 
so  far  there  has  been  only  limited  pariic- 
ipalion.   Elder  Des  Cumniings,  chaplain 
land  sponsor  of  the  project  believes  that 
llhe  students  are  unaware  of  the  fact 
llhal  Spiritual  Counseling  has  already  be- 
Igun.  "An  overwhelming  number  respond- 
■ed  on  their  chapel  cards."  Cummings 
■said,  "that  they  would  be  interested  in 
l^ucli  a  program." 

■•Spiritual  Counseling  is  designed  to 
;ei  students'  needs  for  assistance  in 
Imaking  spiritual  decisions,"  Cummings 
laid.   He  added  thai  the  program  was 
Ibuill  around  the  idea  of  bringing  in  fac- 
Hulty  spiritual  advisors  to  assist  students 
■in  their  spiritual  growth  and  renewal, 
lind  in  answering  specific  questions. 
I    The  program  was  begun  as  a  result 
|of  the  fact  that  the  chaplain  could  not 
r  all  the  requests  for  spiritual  coun- 
Iding,  so  the  program  was  expanded  to 
linclude  the  faculty,  thus  helping  to  meet 
||lhe  needs  of  more  students. 

For  spiritual  counseling,  the  student 
llneeds  to  make  an  appointment  with 

i.  Knittel  at  the  Student  Center  desk 
llfTel.  4243)-   Counseling  hours  are  as 
Ifollows:

According  to  Cummings,  students  may

a  specific  problem  or  may  come  on  an 
ongoing  basis  for  counseling  or  for  Bible 
students. 

Spiritual  Counseling  is  a  pilot  program 
to  discover  strength  and  weaknesses  in

out  so  that  Spiritual  Counseling  will  be 

I  full-scale  by  the  fall  semester. 


James    Johnson   Went    To   Jail 


li  was  a  fluke,  a  case  of  miserable  luck. 
I  one  ihouglit  it  would  happen-not  the 
ilricl  attorney,  the  probation  officer, 
ins  lawyer-but  James  Johnston  was 
■enienced  to  one  year  in  jail. 
People  get  incarcerated  every  day,  but 
iiely  do  you  find  anyone  with  the  alli- 
;  James  Has.  "I  was  perfectly  happy," 
ays,  "Sure,  I  wondered  why  and 
afraid  to  tell  my  girlfriend  and  par- 
;,  but  I  said  to  myself.  'James.  God 
do  anything,  and  if  this  is  what  he 
Its  for  your  life  all  thmgs  work  toget- 
her for  good  to  those  who  serve  Him."' 
'  lil  was  the  end  of  the  road  for  James, 
lot  in  the  sense  that  it  is  the  end  for 
people.  It  was  the  end  of  an  eight 
long  search  for  peace,  a  search  fas- 
mating  in  its  complexity,  covering  Ihou- 
'snds  of  miles,  and  most  of  all  undeniably 
foieeful  in  its  proof  of  God's  leading. 
'■  all  started  back  at  Bloomfield  Mich- 
James's  home  town.  He  was  a  pretty 
loodguy  until  he  quit  the  Catholic  school 
"i'i  been  attending  for  1 0  years  and 
*int  lo  public  higli  school.  Then  he  start- 
"1  smoking  and  drinking,  learned  the  in's 
mdoufsof  the  "in"  generation,  and  found 
'hat  he  thought  was  the  answer  to  life's 
probing  questions-drugs. 

By  the  lime  he  went  to  college  he'd 
lapped  out,  turned  on,  and  begun  to  ped- 
i^sliis  religion.  "Drugs  were  my  thing," 
IJJ ays,  looking  back  in  retrospect.  "1 
ijgh  t  they  were  from  God.  1  not  only 
j°'«  Ihem  but  gave  them  away  thinking 
i  *a5  doing  everyone  a  big  favor." 

Uuring  the  summer  of  1968  he  stayed 
,,?l?5"'l'ly  Rich's  house,  a  sprawling 
]'"^.000  mansion.  The  parents  were 
5"E  at  their  beach  house  in  Florida, 
;r^ispariiculardayjust  like  ( 
'!*l''ne  two  boys  engaged  in  tl 

past  lime-getting  high.

i"^« recalls,-    ■       " 


A    Lesson    \n    Trust 

end  at  the  Cederal  prison  camp  in  a  small 
town  in  southeastern  Arizona. 

After  finishing  the  Bible  James  fell 
the  presence  of  God,  but  there  was  one 
problem.  He  couldn't  understand  what 
he'd  read.  He  knew  thai  when  someone 
'  in  the  Bible  couldn't  comprehend  some- 
thing an  angel  would  come  set  him 
traight,  but  the  last  thing  he  wanted 
/as  a  direct  revelation  from  God.  Why, 
ven  the  people  in  the  Bible  got  scared 
and  with  the  mess  his  life  was  in  an  angel 
would  petrify  him.  There  was  one  solu- 
on.  though.  God  must  have  somebody 
■horn  he'd  revealed  Himself  to.  and  this 
crson  must  have  written  some  books 
which  would  explain  tiie  Bible.  So  James 
said.  "God,  help  me  find  those  books." 

At  the  end  of  ihe  summer  he  and  Rich 
climbed  into  his  62  Comet  and  headed 
for  Florida,  the  beaches,  and  some  fun 
in  the  sun.  By  this  lime  James  had  quit 
hard  drugs  because  of  what  he  knew  they 
were  doing  to  his  body,  but  no  one  had 
found  anything  wrong  with  niariguana. 
At  least  that's  what  he  told  hifnself.  so 
when  he  left,  there  was  a  nice  stash  ot 
"pot"  in  the  car. 

Afier  an  unexpected  breakdown,  police 
help,  and  some  inquisitive  officers,  James's 
excursion  ended  a  long  ways  from  the 
beaches  of  Florida-the  cily  jail  in  Cleve- 

As  he  looks  back,  though,  James  real- 
izes that  God's  hand  was  leading.  Because 
if  he  hadn't  been  thrown  in  jail  he  would 
not  have  read  the  20th  Century  Bible 
Course  lessons,  and  he  wouldn't  have 
been  exposed  to  this  glimpse  of  truth 
which  intensified  his  desire  for  a  complete 
undcr.iaiKhng  of  God's  plan  lot  his  hfe. 


versy  between  Christ  and  Satan,  he  mused. 
Suddenly  it  hit  him.  'That's  it  James," 
God  said,  "there's  your  book." 

"I  asked  where  I  could  get  one  of  those 
Great  Controversy  books  and  my  boss, 
being  a  typical  Adventist,  said,  'Here,  take 
this  one.'  " 

In  November  James  went  back  to  Ten- 
nessee to  face  trial.  The  case  was  thrown 
out  because  the  officers  hadn't  had  a 
search  warrant.  He  breathed  a  sigh  of 
relief  and  started  out  for  Florida  again. 
"I  had  to  find  out  if  all  of  the  things  I'd 
read  were  true,  so  I  dropped  out  of 
school,  quit  my  job,  left  home,  and  de- 
voted all  my  time  and  energy  into  end- 
ing the  confusion  that  had  been  eating 
my  soul  for  the  past  year." 

When  you  reach  a  certain  age  Uncle 
Sam  comes  knocking  on  your  doorstep. 
James  knew  one  thing  for  sure,  and  that 
was  that  he  could  never  kill  another  hu- 
man being  or  even  support  the  principles 
of  war  by  being  part  of  the  army,  so  he

Math  And  Physics  Outing 
To  Lost  Creek  ^ 
Planned  For  April  14 

"This  has  got  to  be  a  class  assignment- 
right?"  Dr.  Lawrence  Hanson,  chairman 
of  the  Math  Department  leaned  across  his 


Physics  outing  lo  Lost  Creek  was  all  about. 
After  convincing  him  that  the  Accent 
really  was  interested  in  this  expedition, 
I  was  able  to  get  Ihe  information  I  needed. 

The  Math/Physics  outing  is  an  annual 
even!,  planned  by  instructors  in  Ihe  math 
and  physics  dcpariments  for  students  major- 
ing in  those  fields  who  are  free  to  invite 
one  guest  each. 

Students  eligible  to  go  on  the  outing  will  I 
be  leaving  campus  about  8:00  the  morning 
of  April  17th  lo  enjoy  a  relaxed  Sabbath, 
featuring  an  outdoor  church  service,  "min- 
or" hiking  before  a  picnic  style  dinner, 
then  more  hiking.  There  will  also  be  lots 
of  time  lo  jusi  talk  and  become  acquainted 
with  everybody. 

"Lost  Creek  is  a  very  descriptive  name 
for  it",  says  Hanson  of  the  "nice  sized" 
creek  that  flows  for  3  miles  before  empty- 
ing into  the  Hiwassee  River.  The  creek 
and  accompanying  campground,  located 
about  42  miles  from  SMC  and  situated  way 
back  in  a  small  canyon,  are  part  of  the 
Cherokee  National  Forest.  There's  a  jeep 
trail  along  Ihe  creek  and  plenty  of  good 
places  to  hike,  even  for  those  who  don't 
like  rugged  hiking.  There  are  all  kinds  of 
ferns  and  spring  flowers  around  to  pick 
or  photograph,  depending  on  your  inclin- 
ation and  who's  watching. 

In  the  past,  according  to  Hanson,  be- 
fore the  college  was  on  the  early  semester 
system,  the  outing  was  held  in  early  May 
when  the  weather  was  a  little  more  ideal, 
This  year  if  the  elements  are  not  cooper- 
ative on  the  17th,  the  rain  date  is  the  24lh. 

So,  if  you  are  a  math  or  physics  major 
(or  if  you  have  an  easily  bribed  friend  who 
is)  with  extra-curricular  interests  in  wad- 
ing, potato  salad  and  a  chance  to  get  to 
know  your  instructors  and  their  families 
in  a  casual  setting,  you  are  urged  to  take 
advantage  of  this  opportunity  by  signing 
up  in  Daniels  Hall  by  the  14th.  Or,  if 
you  are  not  majoring  in  math  or  physics, 
but  ate  thinking  of  changing  your  major 
for  the  occasion,  contact  Dr.  Larry  Hanson 
or  Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin.  (It  just  might  be

Becker's  advice  for  aspiring  teachers 
is  to  seize  every  opportunity  and  make 
the  most  of  it.  "The  more  practical  know-

er you  are,"  he  said.  "Don't  be  afraid  to 
give  all  you've  got  for  your  job  because 
it  will  be  most  rewarding  for  you  in  the 
end."  He  also  had  a  word  of  encourage- 
'mcnt  for  the  prospective  teacher  wiio  may 
be  having  problems,  "Never  give  up  your 
idea  of  being  a  teacher.  It's  the  greatest 
profession  there  is.  You  may  have  a  hard 
time  getting  started  and  may  have  your 
share  of  disadvantages  and  trials,  but  God 
will  always  take  care  of  you  and  make 
provisions  for  your  life." 

The  program  ended  on  a  sad  note  when 
Becker  told  the  students  that  this  would 
be  his  last  year  in  active  denominational

Mills  Explains  Breakdown 
Of  Funding  For  The  College 


Tuition  rates  are  always  of  major  impor, 
to  students.  For  this  reason  Business  Man- 
ager, Elder  R.C.  Mills,  was  asked  to  give 
some  insights  into  the  financial  picture  as 
It  relates  to  them. 

"We  have  had  a  S7S  general  fee  which 
students  paid  to  cover  various  items."  After 
a  nuciuating  career,  this  has  been  abandoned 
11  SMC  as  a  means  of  educational  Hnance 
However,  now  we  have  adopted  a  plan 
which  incorporates  the  items  previously 
covered  in  this  way,  into  the  semester  hour 
charge.  This  means  a  paymem  of  SSI  per 

hour,  an  increase  of  S6.50  per 
- hour,  without  the  additional  bur- 
den of  the  general  fee  advance  payment." 
Speaking  of  the  division  of  tuition  costs 
r  lasi  ye;ir.  Elder  Mills  pointed  out  that 
;"rne  from  students  came  to  a  total  of 
,100,000.  This  total  included  dormitory 
Hal  rates,  dining  charges  and  various 
other  financial  matters.  The  tuition  itself 
ne  to  52,900,000. 

Distribution  of  income  and  expendi- 
res  of  the  college  can  best  be  visual- 
■d  in  the  accompanying  graphs. 


should  explain  that  gifts  and  grants 
— -.-  church  donations  and  union  subsidies. 
Student  Services  involve  the  Dean  of  Stu- 
dents which  entails  one-half  the  cost  of  re- 
sidence hall  deans.  The  other  one-half 
goes  into  residence  halls,"  explained  Mills. 
"Instruction  costs  involve  the  money  re- 
quired to  meet  all  teacher  and  educational 
supply  financing. 

The  man  who  is  chiefly  concerned  with 
attempting  to  keep  SMC  operating  in  the 
black  observed,  "The  tuitional  require- 
ments have  risen  over  the  past  several  years. 
This  seems  to  follow  a  general  national 
pattern  of  intlation.  For  instance,  where 
we  were  once  used  to  paying  perhaps  S 1 .35 
foragallonof  milk  wemay  nowpay  Sl.47 
or  more.  It's  now  an  established  inflational 
pattern  and,  unfortunately,  a  part  of  every- 
day life.  The  same  increase  is  seen  in 

but,  I  guess  as  long  as  the  national 

r- continues  the  way  it  is  going  we 

will  have  to  adopt  the  attitude  ofc'est  la

This  ranch  wasn't  just  the  run-of-the-

to  the  police,  or  sliould  1  try  lo  show 
them  a  beUer  way  of  life  by  my  example." 

He  made  ihc  latter  choice.  "It  was 
nuts  out  there,"  he  added,  "People  ran 
around  naked,  shoi  guns,  and  smuggled. 
Everyone  did  respect  my  views,  though.

ss,  so  he  kicked  them  all  out. 

le  came  and  went.  Things  were 

really  going  great.  James  had  turned  liim- 


Ihree  years  probation  plus  two  years  work 
medical  field.  He  had  a  job  taking 
of  a  paraplegic,  so  that  didn't  pose 
problem  al  all. 

'1  was  helping  kids  by  showing  them 
that  by  living  healthfully  they'd  have 

energy  and  freedom  of  mind,  my 
family  had  almost  accepted  God  in  a  per- 

al  way  because  of  my  influence  and 
prayers,  and  life  had  even  taken  on  a  sem- 
ince  of  order  and  routine." 
Then  it  happened.  A  shoot-out  in 
Nogales,  Mexico  led  to  the  arrest  of  a 
"dealer"  in  Texas  who  turned  stale's 
evidence  and  told  all  he  knew.  Included 
in  his  story  was  the  4-year-old  incident 
where  James  and  Jed  picked  up  the  mari- 
juana. One  minute  James  was  a  free  man 
and  the  next  he  found  himself  charged 
with  a  felony  carrying  a  5  to  20  year  jail 

"I'll  lell  you  what,"  his  lawyer  lold 
him.  "IVe  worked  out  a  deal  so  that  you 

plead  guilty  to  a  misdemeanor,  and 
that  will  satisfy  the  prosecution.  Everyone 
knows  what  kind  of  guy  you  are,  and  I'm 
you'll  gel  by  with  a  couple  years  pro- 
3n."  The  district  attorney  and  his 
probation  officer  for  draft  eviision  both 
agreed,  so  James  went  to  court  expecting 
a  light  sentence. 

A  stand-in  judge  from  Pennsylvania 
who  didn'l  know  Ihc  case  tried  him  and 
handed  out  a  jail  sentence.  Looking  back 
James  says  this  is  the  best  thing  that  could 
have  happened  to  him.  "When  1  gol  to 
the  jail  I  said.  'Lord,  you  know  what  you 
are  doing,"  and  He  did.  I  wasn'l  walking 
24  hours  a  day  with  Christ,  and  God  knew 
1  was  getting  off  the  track.  He  knew  thai 
1  was  battling  with  my  sins  instead  of 
learning  lo  trust  Him." 

■But  with  all  the  lime  IV  had  to  think 
and  to  study  God's  word  I've  come  to  the 
point  where  I  trust  God  completely  with 


got  plenty  ^  ., 

willing  lo  listen  lo  what  you  have  lo  say. 
When  I  get  a  chance  to  talk  to  someone 
for  an  hour  and  explain  the  whole  plan 
of  redemption  from  Eden  lo  Eden  it's 
ally  beautiful." 

James  figures  he's  told  Ihe  whole  plan 
of  salvation  to  al  least  50  of  his  fellow 
prisoners,  he  has  a  prayer  list  of  a  100 
people,  and  he's  never  been  happier. 

"You  know,"  he  says,  "every  morning

are  trusting  money,  cducalion.  or  the

Tuesday's  make-up  game  b 
Comets  and  the  Mustangs  was 
best  matches  of  the  short  soccc-i  seavju. 
For  almost  30minutes  the  game  was  score- 
less, but  then  a  defensive  lapse  in  the  Mus- 
tang backfield  gave  an  opening  forWes 
Holland  who  put  the  ball  into  an  empty 
goal.  The  half  ended  with  the  Cornels. 
.Idinga  l-Olead, 

The  Mustangs  came  out  the  second 
half  (lying,  and  in  a  span  of  five  minutes 

1  two  goals  to  pull  ahead.  The  Comets 
tied  the  score  on  a  penalty  kick  by  Cooper. 
The  game  winning  shot  was  the  prettiest 
■  of  the  game.From  the  corner  Bill  Am- 

ienx  a  pass  into  the  goal  crease  wluch 

Swede  Heilgrin  headed  into  the  net. 

Thursday's  game  between  the  Cooper 
brothers  ended  in  a  surprising  3-0  victory 
for  older  brother  Adrian.  The  Comets 
played  their  best  game  of  the  year.  Wes 
Holland  scored  twice  and  Adrian  Cooper 
■red  once.  Cooper's  goal  was  an  unbe- 
/abie  shot.  From  40  yards,  his  lofty 
it  went  into  the  net  much  to  the  disbe- 
lief of  all. 

Sunday's  game  between  the  Hotspurs 
and  Mustangs  was  uneventful.  Both  teams 
played  several  men  short-handed,  and  in  a 
wide  open  game,  the  Mustangs  came  out  on 
top  5-1. 

Swede  Heilgrin  led  all  scorers  with  three 
goals.  However,  goals  by  Coach  Moon  and 
Dean  Halverson  were  the  gems  of  the  match 
Each  headed  in  a  goal.  Halverson  played 
forward  for  the  last  five  minutes  of  the 
game  and  made  the  one  goal  plus  narrowly 
missing  another  one.  The  Mustang's  secret 
weapon  is  no  longer  a  secret! 

In  other  action  the  Lancers  and  Hammer 
iffered  double  forfeits.

Why  Be   Patriotic? 

1    like  yOLi   luive  grown  up  in  an  age  oT  cynicism,  an  age  where  an 
insatiable  search  for  truth  has  torn  away  the  glamour  of  the  American 
dream   an  age  stamped  with  the  fiasco  of  Viet  Naam  and  the  cnimb- 
linc  political  ruins  of  Watergate.    I  have  been  lied  to  by  leaders  in 
"overnmenl  and  then  told  by  people  I  admire  to  ignore  those  lies 
because  everyone  else  lias  lied  in  the  past.    1  have  been  swindled  by 
industries,  duped  by  advertisers,  and  stuffed  with  propaganda  to  the 
point  of  nausea.  1  used  to  think  that  ultimately  truth  triumphed,  but 
now  I've  come  to  believe  that  the  stniggle  between  opposing  factions 
IS  not  decided  on  the  basis  of  principle  but  on  the  basis  of  who  spends 
the  most  money  to  present  their  side. 

But  when  1  find  myself  giving  up  on  my  country  and  my  govern- 
ment when  1  find  myself  categorizing  all  politicians  as  crooks,  ana 
patriotic   flag-waving  citizens  as  over-zealous  fanatics,  I  realize  that 
cynicil  citizens  such  as  myself  breed  corruption  In  high  places.    If 
I  don't  have  enough  faith  in  my  country  to  really  care  what  happens, 
why  should  I  expect  elected  officials  to  feel  any  differently.    If  1  as 
an  individual  don't  stand  up  for  freedom  and  principle  in  my  home 
and  community,  how  can  I  expect  my  governor  and  President  to 
stand  up  for  it  on  the  state  and  national  level. 

Sure  America  has  more  than  its  share  of  problems,  but  talking  like 
it's  already  half  way  between  the  morgue  and  cemetery,  isn't  helping 
out  any  of  these  problems.  A  country  is  no  better  than  the  individ- 
uals living  there,  and  the  reason  America  is  a  great  nation  is  not  because 
of  great  leaders  but  because  of  the  industry  of  a  tree  people  who  have 
been  ei\>i:  i\-i.'.  u;  h' - >^ing  their  destiny.  It's  when  the  individual 
K.^,,nn.   ,;    ■'  scrupulous  leaders  take  advantage  of  his  apathy. 

Ill  [|||.  I;      .  r  ■  ■    ,    .    if  we  need  more  than  just  another  celebration, 
niore  ili,ni  in  1    i  Inik  ti>'Nt.ilgic  hoop-la.    Freedom  is  like  a  crate  of 
tomatoes,  it  will  spoil  it  we  fgnore  it  and  leave  it  in  some  dark  corner. 
Let's  start  examining  the  good  in  oiir  country,  and  then  maybe  we 
can  gain  the  courage  to  do  our  small  part  in  changing  the  bad.    Amer- 
ica has  given  you  and  me  the  best  life  style  in  the  world.    As  students 
we  h.ive  ,1  izood  chance  of  iiehieving  our  dreams  unlike  students  in 
LoniiiiKs  where  liie  government  structures  your  life  from  kindergarten 
un  111'     \\l'  siiII  cm  worship  God  according  to  our  consciences  or 
openly  disj.iini  .my  belief  in  religion.    In  opposition  to  the  slums  of 
the  city,  there  is  the  unspoiled  awesomeness  of  the  Colorado  Rockies, 
the  miles  of  waving  grain  fields  in  the  Middle  West,  the  beauty  of  a 
Southern  spring.    Racial  prejudice  hasn't  been  eradicated,  but  on  the 
other  hand  tremendous  strides  have  taken  place  in  the  last  ten  years 
in  solving  this  problem.    All  men  or  women  don't  have  an  equal 
chance,  but  they  do  have  more  of  an  equal  chance  than  they  ever 
have  had  before  in  the  history  of  the  United  States. 

What  I'm  trying  to  say  is  don't  give  up  on  America,    Even  if  you 
.ire  only  ;i  ^nllege  student,  you  can  vote.   Get  informed.   Take  the 
ijnie  ii'  It  1.  isi  skim  through  a  newspaper  enough  to  know  what  the 
Issues  ,ir,'     I'l.Klice  the  principles  of  the  American  work  ethic  which 
emphasi/es  a  eond  day's  work  for  a  good  day's  pay 

Patriotism  is  critical  and  at  the  same  time  optimistic.    It  is  working 
for  the  welfare  of  others  as  well  as  yourself.    It  doesn't  give  up.  and 
it  doesn't  shut  up.   Patriotism  is  more  than  a  flag  and  national  an- 
them.  It's  the  spirit  of  America  that  needs  to  be  cherished  and  nour- 
ished in  the  hearts  of  the  great  people  in  this  great  land.

with  the  SMC  students.

Love  begins  with  a  feehng  of  secunty. 
You  warm  with  a  sense  of  lus  nearness, 
even  when  lie  is  away.  Miles  do  not  sep- 
arate you.  You  want  him  near,  but  near 
or  far,  you  know  he's  yours  and  you

The  NRG  Food  Bar 

A   Complete   Meal 

Hey!    Look  what's  new  al  the  Village  Market.    Its  a  new  Protein 
Energy  Food  Bar  called  NRG.    IVIade  with  all  natural  ingreaients 
and  containing  no  additives,  no  preservatives  this  bar  comes  in 
three  delicious  flavors — peanut  (crunchy),  fruit,  ana  chocolate. 
The  chocolate  is  mainly  tor  color   purposes,  and  the  sweetening 
is  In  the  coating  only  (one  pari  per  million) ,    Containing  '/:  ot  the 
recommended  daily  allowance  of  vitamins,  minerals  and  protein  in 
a  three  ounce  bar,  it  contains  only  300  calories  and  provides  a 
full  meal  when  eaten  with  8  ounces  ot  your  tavoriie  liquid.         ^\ 
This  food  bar  is  ideal  tor  evervone--active  kids,  senior  cit- 
izens, and  people  on  the  go.    For  camping  and  hiking  it's 
terrific  (really  great  tor  Pathiinders  too) .    Not  only  is  it 
easy  to  take  with  you  anywhere,  but  it  stands  up  to  120 
degrees  without  melting.    It  has  a  shelf  life  o*  six  months 
and  a  irozen  life  of  two  years.    According  to  nutrition  ex- 
perts across  the  land,  the   first  lesson  in  nutrition  begins  at 
oreaktast.    Starting  your  day  with  an  NRG  protein  meal  is  a 
great  idea.    The  way  you  teel,  how  well  you  perform  mentally 
and  physically    is  a  direct  result  of  good  health  resulting 
irom  proper  nutrition.    NRG  Food  Bars  are  economical  and

A  Fond  Farewell 


So  long,  au  revoir,  fnrew 
Twenty-five  issues  ago  I  nc 
actually  come  when  I  woul 
ERN  ACCENT;  but  that  ti[ 
spect  the  good  times  c 


eh.-d  1 


gotten  the  point  by  now. 
.Mined  the  time  would 
^1  editorial  lor  the  SOUTH- 
low  looking  back  in  retro- 
le  ones.  Of  course  there 


s  when  nothing  seemed  to  go  right-articles  fizzled  out  at  the 
last  minute,  equipment  broke  down;  and  I  was  sick  of  commas,  good 
syntax,  balanced  layouts  or  anything  concerning  a  paper.  But  then 
there  was  always  that  feeling  of  satisfaction  when  going  down  to  pick 
up  the  paper  from  the  press.  So  often  in  college  life  the  only  tangible 
results  you  see  from  your  work  are  letters  on  a  piece  of  paper,  but  with 
a  newspaper  you  have  something  to  show  for  your  work.  Every  line, 
every  article,  every  headline  has  a  piece  of  your  heart  in  it,  and  you're 
proud  of  it  even  with  all  of  the  blunders  and  mistakes. 

Although  I  can't  mention  everyone's  name  who  helped  out  on  the 
paper,  I  would  like  to  give  special  credit  to  a  few  who  gave  more  than 
their  best.  First  of  all  I'd  like  to  single  out  my  roommate,  Gordon 
Doneskey.  He  was  always  faithful  no  matter  what  and  spent  countless 
hours  each  week  making  sure  we  had  a  paper.  There  were  times  when 
because  of  the  tedious  responsibility  he  wouldn't  have  minded  quitting, 
but  he  didn't  quit  and  1  thank  him  for  it. 

On  the  ma-^thcad  Judy  Wuttke  is  listed  as  the  typist,  but  if  the  truth 
he  known  sIk'  w;ts  proofreader,  assistant  layout  editor,  editorial  advisor, 
i.initnr  .1 ,  MxLiiii  distribution  manager  and  comforter  to  the  editor  in 
limes  (. I  .iiso>iirni;emcnt.  Thank  you  Judy.  Without  you  there  would 
luivi.-  been  countless  weeks  when  there  wouldn't  have  been  a  SOUTHERN 
ACCENT  except  for  the  extra  effort  you  put  into  it. 

Mr.  Durichek  spent  Christmas  vacation  in  the  hospital  due  to  his 
heavy  work  load,  and  no  small  part  of  that  work  load  was  staying  up 
almost  all  night  once  a  week  to  print  the  ACCENT.  Thank  you  Mr. 
Durichek  for  the  fine  printing  job  you  and  your  class  have  done. 

Denise  Schaller  joined  the  staff  in  the  middle  of  the  year,  and  the 
newsy  tidbits  she's  come  up  with  have  given  (he  paper  a  little  more  zest 
Thank  you  Denise. 

Finally,  our  sponsor,  Ms.  Andrews,  has  been  there  when  we  needed 
her  and  yet  at  the  same  time  let  us  as  a  staff  am  our  own  newspaper. 
Slic  has  been  a  loyal  supporter  and  a  fine  sponsor. 

As  for  tlie  rest  of  the  staff  I'd  like  to  mention  your  names  also  but 
you  know  what  it's  like-there  just  isn't  any  more  room  on  the  editor- 
ial page, 

Have  a  good  summer! 
Bruce  Yingling 
P.S.  Congratulations  Jack  and  Steve,  the  rest  of  the  annual  staff  and 
the  college  press  for  putting  out  a  fine  annual.

We   Want  Equolity 


Dear  Editor: 

In  this  year,  1976,  we  are  celebrating  our 
nation's  200th  birthday  which  is  based  upon 
the  three  main  freedoms:  freedom  of  relig- 
ion, which  brings  us  to  this  school,  freedom 
of  the  press,  which  allows  us  to  print  this 
letter,  and  freedom  of  speech,  which  allows 
us  to  voice  our  views,  realizing  the  conse- 
quences we  might  face. 

Instead  of  going  from  committee  to  o.  n- 
mitlee,  wlierc  the  initial  point  sometimes 
gels  lost  in  the  shuffle,  we  feel  the  best  meth- 
od is  going  through  the  paper.  This  way  our 
point  can  be  pul  across  so  other  people  can 
see  how  we  stand  and  act  for  or  aeainst. 

Thi;  -        ■     ■  ■  ■■     ■

no  answer  to  when  the  build-

^:^!**n 


there  will  subsequently  be  more  build- 
ings on  college  campuses.  I  am  puzzled 
about  the  suggestion  that  we  have  had 
continual  additions  to  housing  and  not 
to  classrooms  at  SMC.  All  of  our  recent 
buildings  on  the  campus  have  provided 
classrooms.  We  have  classroom  availabil- 
ity in  the  Student  Center  and  in  the  bot- 
tom floor  of  tlie  Student  Center  we  have 
the  entire  business  department.  Our  nur- 
sing education  building  provides  a  place 
for  our  entire  nursing  curriculum.  There 
are  several  classes  in  the  McKee  Library. 
Our  former,  library,  Daniells  Hall,  was 
converted  into  a  classroom  building.  We 
hold  classes  in  Wright  Hali.  Our  home 
economics  building  handles  classes  from 
that  and  other  departments.  Further- 
more, if  we  get  into  a  really  light  spot 
with  classroom  housing,  all  we  need  lo  do 
is  run  a  schedule  of  evening  classes.  Many 
schools  have  a  full  complement  ofeven- 
ing  classes  and  we  can  move  a  good  body

period.  We  could  also  make  much  n 
use  of  our  late  afternoon  hours,  Monday 
through  Thursday. 

The  growth  in  the  number  of  students 
reflects  a  need.  We  could  turn  these  slu- 


he  SMC  campu     the  ad 


dents  away,  including  those  within  and 
without  the  Southern  Union.  An  interest- 
ing fact  is,  however,  that  if  a  Seventh-day 
Adventist  young  person  desires  to  attend 
a  college  out  of  his  union  and  is  turned 
down,  there  is  a  distinct  possibihly  and 
likeliliood  thai  he  will  not  attend  a  college 
within  his  own  union.  Seventh-day  Adven- 
tist colleges  represent  more  than  regional 
interests.  They  represent  the  inlereslsof 
the  entire  world  field.  An  alternative  to 
the  present  plan  would  be  for  the  South- 
ern Union  or  the  General  Conference  to 
start  a  brand  new  college  somewhere  in 
the  Southern  part  of  the  United  Slates, 
Financially,  this  is  not  feasible  in  our  pre- 
sent inflationary  times.  It  is  far  more  ec- 
onomical to  expand  on  one  campus  where 
the  core  facilities  already  exist  than  lo 
start  all  over  again  someplace  else  and  try 
to  duplicate  everything,  including  faculty. 

How  is  the  financing  done  for  new 
buildings?  Is  the  building  designed  so 

't  can  be  used  for  other  facilities  if 
need  be? 

Southern  Missionary  College  receives 

annual  subsidy  from  the  Southern 

Union  for  its  building  program.  This  sub- 


sidy is  currently  being  used  !o  pay  for  a 
few  of  the  buildings  on  our  campus  that 
are  not  yel  paid  for.  The  new  dormilor- 
ies  presently  under  construction  are  being 
financed  by  the  Commitlee  of  100.  The 
industrial  arls  building  was  financed 
througli  private  contributions  as  was  the 
nursing  building.  Our  fine  arts  complex 
will  be  financed  by  non-Seventh-day  Ad- 
ventist donations  and  any  of  these  build- 
ings can  be  used  for  whatever  purpose 
tlie  college  desires.  For  the  next  several 
years  Ihe  Southern  Union  Conference 
building  subsidy  for  SMC  will  not  be  used 
to  finance  new  buildings.

It  seems  to  me  that  the  Southern  Union's

A   Very   Unique   Proposal 


0  the  couple  involved,  i 


li  was  Sunday,  April  II,  around  noon, 
when  sunbalhers  on  Jones  Hall  balcony 
were  rather  startled  to  hear  the  hollow 
clapping  of  horse  hooves  and  a  general 
commotion  below  them  on  the  road  in 
front  of  the  dorm.  Upon  invesligaficn 
the  girls  (with  blankets  carefully  wrapped 
around  them,  of  course)  found  that  a 
knight  in  a  tunic  and  chain  mail  was  riding 
up  to  Jones  Hall  on  a  white  horse.  Ac- 
companied by  a  squire,  the  knight  was  an 
arresting  and  much  photographed  figure, 
against  a  background  of  thundering  cannon- 
balls  and  screaming  police  sirens  announcing 
the  arrival  on  campus  of  academy  seniors 
for  college  days.  In  fact,  more  than  a  week 
later,  a  student  said.  "Oh  yeali,  I  saw  that 
guy  riding  around  on  a  white  horse  but  I 
thouglit  it  was  part  of  college  days." 

However  the  knight,  known  to  liis 
friends  as  "Butch"  Barnes,  had  more  serious 
intentions.  He  had  come  to  Jones  Hall  to 
claim  the  hand  of  the  fair  damsel,  Shelli 
Dager.  Shelli  floated  majestically  down 
the  steps  in  a  long  blue  gown  and  a  medieval 
styled  hat  with  veil.  Later  Shelli  said,  "I 
think  I  surprised  him  more  than  he  did  me." 

This  doesn't  happen  every  Sunday,  so 
this  reporter  asked  the  happy  couple  where 
the  idea  for  this  romantic  venture  came 
from.  Back  in  December  while  (he  couple 
was  horse  back  riding,  Buich,  atop  a  brown 


I  horse,  asked  Shelli  if  she'd  ride  off  with 
him  (presumably  into  the  sunset).  She  re- 
plied, ""Yes,  I  would  if  you  had  a  white 
horse  and  a  suit  of  armor." 

In  the  ensuing  months  Butch  reminded 
Shelli  occasionally  of  her  promise  and 
warned  her  not  to  be  surprised  if  he  came 
up  to  the  dorm  in  a  suit  of  armor  on  a 
white  horse.  "I  didn't  think  he'd  do  it!" 
Shelli  insists.  But,  one  miglit  note,  she 
was  all  ready  when  the  big  moment  came, 
in  her  "damsel  in  distress"  dress,  made 
for  her  by  Linda  Rutter. 

In  the  mean  time.  Butch  was  making 
his  plans.  He  had  a  tunic  and  cliainmail 
made  for  liirn  by  tlie  Chattanooga  Coslume 
Company  and  borrowed  a  white  horse  from 
a  friend.  "If  it  had  been  possible."  Butch, 
a  para-niedic  living  in  Chattanooga,  says, 
"I  would  have  had  them  make  a  suit  of  real 

During  llie  wailing  period  before  Shelli 
appeared  the  noble  knight  was  heard  to  re- 
mark rather  testily,  "This  isn't  a  skirt  — - 

The  venture  ended  a  trifle  anti-climatically 
with  tiie  horse  stepping  on  Butch's  foot  and 
knocking  him  down,  then  taking  off  up  the 
hill,  only  to  stop  at  a  patch  of  grass  to  graze 
peacefully. 

An  eventful  married  life  is  anticipated  for 
this  couple,  who  plan  to  marry  sometime  in 
the  autumn  of  1976.  One  wonders  what 
they'll  do  for  an  encore?

Seventh-day  Adventist  church  is  growing 
increased  pace  and  thus  there  is  a 
^  rand  a  growing  constituency  every 
year  to  support  higher  education  as  well 
as  secondary  and  elementary  education. 
There  is  absolutely  no  suggestion  that  liie 
numbers  of  Seventh-day "Adventisls  at- 
tending colleges  will  decrease  at  any  time 
in  the  future  while  our  schools  are  still 
open  and  there  is  considerable  evidence 
indicating  that  the  numbers  of  students 
will  increase  just  as  the  size  of  the  church 

We  need  to  be  very  careful  about  fore- 
casts. The  forecast  for  the  1975  fall  sem- 
ester for  college  enrollment  in  the  nation 
at  large  was  at  great  variance  with  the 
facts.  A  much  larger  number  of  students 
went  to  college  than  had  been  proposed 
by  a  lot  of  the  official  forecasters  and 
people  are  still  trying  to  figure  out  how 
this  could  have  happened.  There  is  no 
suggestion  of  any  decrease  in  the  number 
of  students  wanting  to.  come  to  SMC  ip

Do  you  think  that  perhaps  SMC  students 
could  benefit  from  a  change  in  the  school 
year's  calendar  to  help  save  fuel  during  the 
winter  months?  Example:  a  March-October 
school  year.

dicates that  it  is  not  cheaper  to  aircondit-

and  1  doubt  that  having  school  in  the  sum- 
mer months  instead  of  the  winter  would 
help  a  great  deal  with  our  utility  expenses. 
We  would  always  need  Ihe  counterpart 
of  summer  school  taking  place  some  lime 
during  Ihe  school  year  and  we  subsequently 
would  have  to  heal  up  most  of  our  build- 
ings anyway  during  the  winter  to  accom- 
modate (hose  who  cannot  be  here  during 
the  regular  school  term.  Furthemiore.  a 
reverse  program  would  seriously  interfere 
with  the  total  social  cycle  of  the  home 
and  would  probably  have  rather  serious 
side  effects  of  many  sorts.

accommodaIe_the  increasing  number  of 
students,  why  not  hold  enrollment  down 
to  fill  existing  facilities?  I  believe  in  qual- 
ity, not  quantity. 

This  is  a  v^ry  valid  observation  and  I 
do  wish  it  were  possible  for  us  lo  hold 
our  enrollment  down  to  fill  only  existing 
facilities.  There  was  a  proposal  lo  do 
this  when  we  had  room  for  1000  students. 
This  would  not  begin  lo  take  care  of  the 
needs  of  Ihe  Southern  Union  alone  and 
in  effect  we  would  have  denied  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  higher  education  to  those 


n  who  wanted  il 


Again,  I  must  state  that  when  students 
are  denied  admission  lo  Iheir  own  school, 
they  do  not  tend  to  go  to  other  Advent- 
ist schools.  Therefore,  the  young  people 
from  our  Seventh-day  Adventist  homes 
who  would  be  turned  down  at  Southern 
Missionary  College  would  in  general  go 
to  nearby  public  colleges  and  universit- 
ies. Furthermore,  it  is  extremely  difficult 
to  tell  parents  their  children  cannot  come 
to  a  college  within  their  union  thai  the 
parents  support  througlr  their  offerings. 

Coupled  with  this  is  the  plain  fad  that 
our  tuition  coststhtougji  the  years  would 
have  gone  much  higher  than  Ihey  already 
have.  An  increase  of  even  20  or  30  stu- 
dents during  a  school  year  does  very  much 
to  govern  the  rise  of  tuition  costs  and  Ihe 
extra  padding  of  having  a  few  more  stu- 
dents each  year  brings  (he  tuition  costs 
lower.  If  we  would  have  restricted  our 
size  lo  1000  students  some  years  ago,  (he 
tuition  costs  for  next  year  would  be  in  ex- 
cess of  S5000  for  tuition  alone.  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  schools  are  not  blessed  with 
large  endowments  and  the  operating  monies 
for  these  schools  must  come  from  the  con- 
ferences and  the  union  and  tuition.  The 
Southern  Union  and  the  conferences  al- 
ready spend  almost  a  million  dollars  an- 
nually to  support  Southern  Missionary 
College  and  they  are  really  not  in  a  posit- 
ion to  do  anj^  more  than  this_and  still

(targe  Adventist  community),  wouldn't 
it  be  advisable  to  establish  a  number  of 
smaller  schools  rather  than  expanding? 
Many  schools  and  colleges  have  closed 
in  the  last  few  years;  could  we  take  over 
some  of  these? 

The  problem  with  the  "Battle  Creek 
syndrome"  was  that  the  Adventisls  flock- 
ed there  and  were  not  going  anywhere 
else.  At  the  time  that  Mrs.  White  wrote 
about  the  Adventist  work  at  Battle  Creek 
the  vast  majority  of  Michigan  had  no 
Adventisls.  There  were  scarcely  any  Ad- 
ventisls in  the  western  part  of  the  United 
States  and  very  few  overseas.  TJiere  were 
essentially  none  in  Ihe  South,  the  South- 
east, or  the  Southwest.  What  Adventisls 
there  were  crowded  together  in  one  spot 
and  there  were  no  rays  of  light  penelrat-

large  centers  but  rather  for  Iheir  multi- 
tude of  churches  scattered  Ihroughoul 
the  world.  Moreover,  Mrs.  White  is  very 
much  concerned  that  the  total  work
