Faculty  Senate  Clarifies  New  Dress  Code 


The  Faculty  Senate,  in  an 
afternoon  session  August  28, 
came  to  a  decision  on  a  dress 
code  for  Southern  Missionary 
College  students  and  faculty. 
The  matter  of  neatness  and 
propriety  was  taken  into  con- 
sideration, and  each  item  was 
considered  and  voted  on  its 
own  merits. 

According  to  Dr.  Melvin 
Campbell,  dean  of  students, 
the  question  concerning  pant 
attire  for  women  has  been  a 
recurring  one  over  the  past 
several  years.  "However,  it 
was  during  the  past  year  that 
we  decided  to  take  definite 
action.  We  wanted  to  make 
our  final  decision  in  a  climate 
where  there  was  no  pressure 
and  the  decision  could  be 
made  objectively.  Therefore, 
we  decided  to  make  a  final 
decision  this  summer  before 
school  started,"  said  Dr. 
Campbell.  Because  earlier  re- 
commendations needed  to  be 
more  specific,  the  August 
meeting  was  held. 

In    the    past,    whenever    a 


code  will  have  an  appreciable 
effect  on  those  coming  to 
school  here,  (in  other  words, 
will  SMC's  recent  decisions  to 
allow  beards  for  men  and  pant 
suits  for  women  be  the  catalyst 
for  the  fall  of  the  Roman  Em- 
pire all  over  again?).  Dr. 
Campbell  replied.  "Of  course, 
there  will  be  some  adverse 
opinion  to  the  decision.  But  on 
the  whole,  I  think  it  will  have 
Httle  real  effect.  The  accepted 
dress  of  today  is  either  beard- 


or  no  beard,  and  either  pant 
suit  or  dress.  People  come 
here  generally  because  they 
have  heard  from  a  friend  or 
member  of  the  family  about 
how  good  the  school  is  as  a 
school,"  concluded  Campbell. 

Following  are  the  guidelines 
concerning  the  new  dress  code 
after  some  revision: 

Sabbath  Attire:  For  regular 
Sabbath  meetings  men  must 
wear  dress  slacks  with  appro- 
priate shirt  and  coat  or  dress 


ode   ha 


disi 


sed,  there  has  been  some 
question  as  to  whether  or  not 
the  policy  would  be  enforced 
equally  among  men  and  wo- 
men. Would  the  women  be 
required  to  adhere  to  a  specific 
standard  while  the  men  would 
not?  Not  so  this  year,  ac- 
cording to  the  school  adminis- 
tration. The  Federal  Govern- 
ment has  set  up  guidelines  for 
schools  and  other  institutions 
in  an  effort  to  avoid  sex  dis-. 
crimination,  and  so,  the  new 
dress  code  will  be  enforced  on 
an  equal  basis.

Thatcher  Acquires  New  Dean 


I 


□  Vanessa  Greenleat 

Betty  Ann  Howard,  the 
new  associate  dean  of  women 
for  Thatcher  Hall,  has  come  to 
SMC  after  seven  years  of 
deaning  at  Walla  Walla  Col- 
lege, 

Besides  her  duties  as  as- 
sociate dean,  she  will  form  a 
student  missions  club.  And 
even  though  she  is  enrolled  for 
post-master's  studies  at  UTC, 
Howard  hopes  to  become  more 
involved  with  student  activi- 
ties. 


Howard  is  also  one  of  the 
few  ordained  women  elders  in 
the  SDA  denomination.  Be- 
sides this,  she  is  a  registered 
nurse,  an  anethesist,  and  has 
taught  anethesiology  to  post- 
graduate nurses  in  Alabama. 

Dean  Howard  has  a  B.S.  in 
religious  educatio*  from  Co- 
lumbia Union  College  where 
she  was  dean  of  women  before 
going  to  Walla  Walla  College. 
Just  last  summer  she  started 
on  a  doctorate  program  in  edu- 
cational psychology  at  An-

Texan  JereWebb 
Pastors  Collegedale 


D  Jerry  Dick  Lien 

Elder  Jere  Webb,  formerly 
pastor  in  the  Dallas,  Texas 
area,  accepted  the  call  to  the 
Collegedale  Seventh-Day  Ad- 
ventist  Church  this  summer 
ind  arrived  in  August  to  as- 
sume his  responsibilities. 

"1  am  really  looking  forward 
to  the  challenges  of  my  new 
-  istorate  here,"  said  Elder 
Webb.  "1  believe  that  the  sit- 
uation of  a  college  church  can 
provide   me    with    the    oppor- 


tunity   t( 
dealism  that  an  ordinary  pas- 
torate wouldn't." 

A  native  of  El  Paso,  Elder 
Webb  comes  from  a  minis- 
terial family.  He  attended 
Union  College  in  Lincoln,  Ne- 
braska, graduating  in  1967 
with  two  majors,  business  and 
theology.  In  that  same  vear, 
he  married  Garlyn  Walter. 
The  couple  now  has  two  chil-

"1  don't  want  to  sound  too 
dramatic  about  this,  but  I  feel 
like  the  Lord  is  leading  in  my 
life  and  this  is  the  place  I'm  to 
be."  Howard  likes  the  idea  of 
being  associate  dean  instead 
of  head  dean,  as  she  was  at 
Walla  Walla,  giving  her  more 
time  to  get  involved  with  the 
students,  plus  work  on  her 
doctorate. 

Howard  has  chosen  to  work 
with  college  students  because 
"they  are  still  teachable,  but 
not  much  effort  is  needed  to 
teach  them."  She  wants  to 
assist  not  only  in  the  students' 
success  as  a  Christian  person, 
but  in  their  success  academi- 
cally. "I  am  gung-ho  in  Ad- 
ventist  education,"  she  stated. 

Dean  Howard's  office  will 
be  located  in  the  new  wing  of 
Thatcher  Hall.

Thonday,  September  1,  1977  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  -  3 


SPAs  Stand  Against  Gays 


WASHINGTON,  D.C.  --  A 
strong  affirmation  of  family  life 
and  a  condemnation  of  homo- 
sexual behavior  have  been  is- 
sued by  leaders  of  the  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  denomination. 

Robert  H.  Pierson,  presi- 
dent of  the  General  Conference 
of  Seventh-day  Adventists, 
said  this  week  that  homosexu- 
ality undermines  the  basic 
structure  of  the  home.  "Any 
perversion  that  weakens  the 
very  foundations  upon  which  a 
Christian  nation  is  built,"  said 
Pierson,  "cannot  be  accepted 
by  the  church." 

In  an  earlier  statement  is- 
sued  by  the  church's  Wash- 
ington Conference,  a  group  of 
four  Adventist  leaders  said  the 
church  "views  a  homosexual 
relationship  as  a  union  which  is 
contrary  to  nature  and  to  God's 
expressed  will  and  is  generally 
transitory  in  nature." 

The  church  has  a  respon- 


sibility, they  said,  to  oppose 
any  efforts  to  promote  pride  in 
a  type  of  behavior  that  is  in 
complete  opposition  to  biblical 
standards  of  morality. 

This  statement,  made  at  the 
church's  annual  camp  meeting 
in  Auburn,  Washington,  came 
in  part  as  a  response  to  the 
declaration  by  the  mayor  of 
Seattle  of  a  "gay  pride  week." 

The  statement  is  the  first 
formal  declaration  of  opposi- 
tion to  the  aims  of  the  gay 
rights  movement  by  leaders  of 
the  Adventist  denomination, 
although  the  church  has  always 
affirmed  the  sanctity  of  mono- 
gamous, heterosexual  mar- 
riage from  its  organizational 
beginning  in  1861. 

Authors  of  the  position  pa- 
per include  Dr.  Delmer  W. 
Holbrook,  president  of  the 


Home  Study  Institute  and  di- 
rector of  the  Home  and  Family 
Service  of  the  General  Con- 
ference, both  in  Washington, 
D.C;  N.  Reginald  Dower,  di- 
rector of  the  General  Confer- 
ence Ministerial  Association; 
Or.  Donald  Jacobsen,  profes- 
sor of  Evangelism  and  Pastoral 
Nurture  at  the  Seventh-day 
Adventist  Theological  Semi- 
nary at  Andrews  University  in 
Berrien  Springs,  Michigan; 
and  James  Chase,  president  of 
the»W«shington  Conference  of 
Seventh-day  Adventists. 

Dower  drew  a  careful  dis- 
tinction between  opposing  ho- 
mosexuality as  a  moral  issue 
and  discussing  the  subject  as  a 
political  issue.  "As  a  religious 
organization  with  a  firm  com- 
mitment to  the  continuing  sep- 
aration of  religious  and  politi- 
cal issues,"  he  wrote,  "the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  C^hurch 
does  speak  to  homosexuality 


only  as  a  moral  issue."  Dr.    Jacobsen   said     "Holy 

Dr.  Holbrook,  however,  ob-    Scripture  promises  power  from 
jected  to  the  use  by  gays  of    God   to  transform    and    com- 
iminority  terminology  from  the    pletely  change  personality." 
civil  rights  and  women's  move- 
ments.   "It  is  not  a  sin  to  be 
black,  and  it  is  not  a  sin 


I  to  be  I 
sr    the 


female,"    he    said    after 
statement  was  issued.   "But  it 
is  a   sin  to  engage  in  homo- 
sexual behavior." 

The  leaders  cited  scriptural 
authority  for  the  church's  posi- 
tion, including  passages  from 
Genesis,  Luke,  the  first  chapter 
of  Romans  and  I  Corinthians. 

"Scripture  does  not  con- 
demn the  homosexual,  but  de- 
nounces the  practice,"  th< 
statement  asserted.  "In  keep 
ing  with  this  principle,  church 
members  are  urged  to  pray 
that  those  who  call  upon  God 
for  relief  from  their  aberrant 
drives  will  find  deliverance, 
peace,  and  forgiveness." 


English  Department 
Announces    Three 
CLEP  Changes 


Referring  to  CLEP  exam 
edit  for  freshman  English 
courses,  Bruce  Gerhart,  Eng- 
lish instructor,  said,  "There 
.1  be  some  important 
changes  this  fall.  Three  to  be 
exact." 

First,    credit    for    English 

2,   the   second    half  of  the 

English    Composition    course, 

an  be  earned  by  passing  the 

reshraan  English  Exam  with 

score  of  55  or  better,   and 

redit    for    English    101     is 

arned  by   passing   an   essay 

xam.        But,     (the    second 

change)  this  essay  exam  can 

only  be  taken  by  those  who 

have    passed    the    Freshman 

English  exam. 

"In  previous  years  we've 


screened  no  applicants;  90% 
wrote  miserably,"  said  Ger- 
hart. "Ever  get  a  driver's 
license?  First  the  written  test, 
then  the  road  test.  Writing, 
like  driving,  is  a  skill.  Each 
student  must  show  mastery  of 
more  than  workbook  drills.  He 
must  write  --  and  write  well." 

Third,  the  essay  exam  will 
no  longer  be  the  familiar, 
three-part  disaster  provided 
by  CLEP,  but  instead  a  single 
narrative  piece,  courtesy  of  the 
English  department.  There 
the  essay  will  be  evaluated  b; 
the  Diedrich  Scale.  Students 
may  obtain  a  copy  of  this  scale 
before  examination  from  Ger- 
hart by  calling  Ext.  4308.

Next  Issue:  Letters  To  The  Editor 

Campus  Ctessiitecfs 


Editorial 


A  quick  glance  at  the  staffboj  will  tell  you  who's  who  in  our 
little  Accent  newsroom  this  year.  But  it  doesn't  tell  you  how 
much  this  nose-for-news  operation  costs. 

To  be  blunt  -  $8,700.  Considering  that  $5,000  of  this  is  eaten 
up  by  paper  and  printing  costs,  it's  a  fairly  reasonable  budget. 
And  our  staff  is  not  on  a  voluntary  basis.  We  receive  a  meager, 
but  satisfying  wage. 

Our  reporters  must  have  courage.  One  must  be  bold  -  t)0ld 
enough  to  ask  the  higher-ups  a  pertinent  and  confident  question. 
And  then  while  listening  in  awe  to  the  answer,  one  must  have 
the  wits  about  them  to  jot  down  vital  facts.  From  there  to  a 
finished  piece,  hashed  out  in  the  privacy  of  a  dorm  room, 
requires  considerable  ability. 

The  possibility  of  error  in  this  process  is  more  than  marginal, 
as  you  may  have  gleaned.  But  we  are  fighting  a  hard  battle  to 
overcome  the  majority  of  slips  and  bloopers. 

Please  don't  let  us  put  anything  past  you,  though.  Don't  sit 
in  silence  and  seethe.  Write  us  a  letter  -  to  the  editor.  Or  if  you 
have  a  comment  about  campus  life,  or  events,  or  whatever,  write 
us  a  letter.  We  have  gone  so  far  as  to  put  red  mailboxes  in  the 
dorms  and  the  Student  Center  for  your  brainstorming  con- 
venience. More  than  our  $8,700  budget,  we'd  like  to  hear  your 
two  cents  worth. 

So  don't  be  afraid  to  pierce  "The  Inner  Sanctum"  of  the

Freshman  Survival  Hints; 
Getting  Along  At  SMC 


□  Vanessa  Greenleaf 

On  becoming  freshmen,  young  people 
are  expected  to  establish  theit  own  inde- 
oendence,  yet  are  not  able  to  complete  y 
sever  their  financial  and  emotional  ties  to 

""Tor  some,  it  is  a  time  for  the  first 
nexine  of  adult  muscles,  but  in  a  strange 
new  atmosphere  with  failure  threatening  to 
breathe  down  their  backs.  Home  work, 
exams,  money  problems,  independence, 
homesickness,  food  costs,  work,  meetmg 
1800  other  students  who  all  seem  to  know 
what  they  are  doing  --  the  college  freshman 
encounters  all  of  these  overwhelming 
traumas  at  once. 

Most  new  freshmen,  if  they  came  from 
a  boarding  academy,  are  conditioned  to 
jumping  everytime  a  bell  rings  --  a  bell  for 
eetting  up  in  the  morning,  for  going  to 
worship-  a  bell  for  mealtimes,  classes, 
chapels,  studying,  and  a  bell  for  going  to 
sleep.     Here  at  SMC,  there  are  npt  any 

^  Freedom  is  the  toughest  test  freshmen 
can  face.  Most  freshmen  have  the  intellec- 
tual ability  to  handle  their  academic  pro- 
gram. But  when  it  comes  to  making 
choices  between  sleeping  in  or  going  to 
class,  many  students  (and  not  just  fresh- 
men) fail  miserably. 


Only  in  a  life  of  freedom  can  the  lessons 
of  freedom  be  learned.  And  a  life  of 
freedom  turns  out  to  be  a  life  of  choices. 

Here  are  some  suggestions; 

1.  First,  look  at  and  memorize  your 
schedule.  Then  make  a  few  rules  for 
yourself  -  not  suffocating  commandments 
where  you  cannot  allow  yourself  to  deviate 
if  the  need  arises;  but  manage  your  time 
well.  . 

2.  Get  used  to  studying.  You  11  find 
that  in  college,  there  is  alot  more  competi- 
tion for  those  top  grades. 

3.  If  you  find  that  you  are  having  a 
problem  in  a  certain  class,  make  an  ap- 
pointment with  the  instructor  to  ask  for 
some  advice. 

4.  Be  willing  to  take  part  in  organiza- 
tions. Yesl  even  if  it  means  getting  up  in 
front  of  people.  This  will  give  other  people 
a  chance  to  get  to  know  you. 

5  The  best  way  to  feel  right  at  home 
during  the  first  few  days  is  to  get  to  meet 
and  talk  to  as  many  students  and  faculty  as 
possible.  It  won't  be  hard;  we  are  all  m  the 
same  boat.   ,  ,  •   a 

You'll  see  that  sensing  one  s  own  inae- 
pendence  is  the  greatest  single  reward  that 
comes  from  leaving  home  a-"!.  S^'-S  *° 
college.    Accepting  the  responsibility  that 

accompanies  the  new  freedom  is  the  ma 

turing  factor.

Camp:  Counselors  Vs.  Kids 


J 


D  reprinted  from  The  Palm 
Beach  Post,  July  18.  1977  by 
Ron  Wiggins 

When  I  was  a  kid,  I  always 
wished  I  could  have  planned 
summer  camp  activities. 
When  1  was  a  counselor  I 
wished  the  same  thing. 

And  with  that,  I  give  you  a 
typical  day  at  Camp  Runa- 
muckapuk  as  seen  by  the 
child: 

10  a.m.  Reveille. 

10;1S  a.m.  Free  swim. 

Noon  -  1  p.m.  Bus  to  Mc- 
Donald's for  breakfast. 

1;15  p.m.  Free  swim. 

3  p.m.  Shoot  steel-tipped 
arrows  up  into  air. 

4  p.m.  Free  swim. 


5:30  p.m.  B.B.  gun  war. 

7  p.m.  Bus  to  Pizza  Haven 
for  supper. 

8  p.m.  Free  swim. 

10  p.m.  Bonfire,  capture  the 
flag,  steal  the  bacon. 

Midnight:  Ghost  stories  fol- 
lowed by  free  swim. 

1:30  a.m.  Snack,  catered  1- 
talian  steak  subs. 

2  a.m.  Taps,  lights  out. 

Camp  staff  members  don't 
object  so  much  to  the  camp 
regimen  of  sports  instruction, 
nature  hikes  and  lanyard 
braiding,  it's  just  that  there 
are  too  many  children  to  keep 
up  with.  Instructors  need 
more  time  to  themselves. 

To  that  end  1  can  envision  a

Worthington  and  Loma  Linda  have  the  surprisingly  good  art 
of  copy-catting.  They  have  fake  chicken,  bacon,  hot  dogs, 
hamburgers,  fish,  and  at  least  a  dozen  more  creative  ideas. 

SMC's  Campus  Kitchen  has  now  added  its  own  addition  to 
the  cause  of  vegetarian  creativity.  It's  the  Foot-Long  Hot  Dog. 
The  bun  is  1 1  Vi  inches  long,  but,  alas,  the  Vegelink  in  the  middle 
is  7'/]  inches.  Notwithstanding  this  minor  disappointment,  they 
are  of  excellent  quality  and  taste  greati 

I  think  our  Campus  Kitchen's  Master  Burger  Sandwich, 
which  we  all  know  so  well,  now  has  a  competent  competitor. 

The  cost  of  these  delightful  elongated  beauties  is  only  70 
cents  and  90  cents  with  cheese  (2  pieces  of  cheese  --  20  cents). 
And  they  come  optional  with  or  without  mayonnaise,  ketchup, 
and  pickles.  Plus  there  are  several  kinds  of  cheese  to  choose 
from. 

While  I'm  at  it,  I  would  also  like  to  recommend  a  peanut 
butter  shake,  hot  onion  rings,  and  a  date  to  go  with  your  Foot 
Long,  making  it  an  adventure  indeed.  Yes,  share  your  dog  with  a 
date,  and  meet  them  in  the  middle.

"      Dear  SMC  Students: 


-Jere  Webb  Con'l. 


dr'en,  a  daughter,  Jerelyn  and 
a  son.  Lyndon. 

Webb  attended  the  semi- 
nary at  Andres  University  and 
then  moved  to  the  Alice  and 
Kingsville  district  of  Texas. 

In  1971  he  moved  to  the 
Brownsville,  Texas  district  and 
a  year  later  began  a  five  year 
pastorate  in  Dallas. 

Elder  Webb  is  known  in 
Chattanooga  for  his  evangelis- 
tic campaign  at  the  Tivoli  last 
year.  However,  he  states  that 
many  people  mistakenly  as- 
sume his  main  concern  to  be 
evangelistic  efforts.  "I  was  an 
assistant  for  a  religion 
tor  in  an  evangelistic

said. 


"The

he  pastor  feels  that  his 
ition  in  Collegedale  will  en- 
e  him  to  have  a  wider  range 
ipportunities  than  has  been 
case  in  the  past.  He 
ieves  that  the  church  organ-

to  run  its  own  affairs.  The  lay 
committee  is  particularly  good 
in  this  respect.  1  think  then 
that  I  should  have  more  time  to

astor. 


he 


Regarding  his  role  as  a 
church  pastor.  Elder  Webb  be- 
lieves that  the  Christian  ex- 
perience is  one  of  constant 
decision  --  whether  or  not  to 
commit  one's  life  to  Christ.  "I 
also  feel  that  I  as  a  pastor  have 
the  responsibility  to  combine 
study  and  visitation  into  the 
same  role.  I  am  trying  to  run 
what  I  like  to  call  an  evangelis- 
tic-pastorate. I  hold  one  or  two 


jects. 

"I  feel  a  strong  call  to 
preach,  and  I  require  from  30 
to  40  hours  a  week  to  prepare 
what  I  feel  to  be  an  adequate 
sermon.  Here  1  think  1  will 
have  more  opportunity  for 
time  of  this  sort,"  he  said. 

Elder  Webb  intends  to  tie 
his  new  position  closely  to  the 
college  community.  One  of  his 
goals  is  to  make  a  significant 
evangelistic  outreach  within 
the  college  situation.  Too  of- 
ten, he  feels,  young  people 
have  been  given  the  idea  that 


come  sometime  in  the  future  - 
a  pie  in  the  sky  in  the  sweet  by 
and  by.  This  view  Elder  Webb 
believes  lobe  wrong.  College 
age  people  should  be  instiga- 
tors of  a  present  and  continu- 
ing evangelistic  outreach. 

"1  have  certain  goals  that  I 
have  set  up  for  myself  during 
my  pastorate  here.  Of  major 
importance  to  me  is  the  oppor- 
tunity to  work  with  young 
people.  I  want  to  motivate 
theology  majors  to  become  in- 
volved in  a  pastoral-evangelis- 
tic approach  to  the  ministry. 
With  this  ministerial  ap- 
proach, I  feel  that  many 
people,  both  the  saved  and

In  both  cases  the  coi

rite  this  quotation. 


'Love 


ncept  of  love  as  expressed  in  the  Bible  and 
i  not  match  the  popular  definitions  of  our 
current  society-    Then  what  is  love? 

To  define  the  concept  of  love,  we  must  first  examine  the  five 
steps  of  progression  that  lead  to  love. 

First,  there  must  be  a  desire.  A  desire  is  a  "conscious-impulse 
toward   an    object    or    experience    that   promises    enjoyment   or 
satisfaction  in  its  attainment."     This  is  natural  and   healthy. 
Nothing  mysterious  about  it  --  it  is  a  principle  of  the  natural  action 
and  reaction  of  the  human  mind. 

Desire  leads  to  the  second  step  -  comr 
the  dew  of  gi 
:e  is  as  vital  to 
ication  results 


the  nurturi 


ication.  Communi- 
th  as  a  relationship 
;lationship  as  water

;.  Communication  is  the 
es  the  basis  of  defining  a 
than  facts  and  tidbits  of 
he  aims,  and  the  totality 


,  the  element  of  trust  awakens;  this 
St  may  be  defined  as  "an  assured 
ng:  a  confident  dependence  on  the 
truth  of  someone  or  something." 


lack 


cation  becom 
comes  tobe- 
is  to  the  bod; 

Thirdly,  knowledge  plays  a  majo 
key  to  knowledge,  and  knowledge  bi 
relationship.  Knowledge  includes  i 
data,  though  it  encompasses  the  go 
of  the  person- 

As  the  relationship  deepen: 
becomes  the  fourth  step.  Tru 
reliance  on  some  person  or  thi 
character,  ability,  strength,  or 

Trust  is  dependency.     Dependency 
total  autonomy;  and  when  Donne  said, 
was  stating  a  universal  truth.    Man  cannot  exist  by  h 
still  retain  his  manhood.    Only  in  the  interdependenci 
can  man  truly  function. 

A  grain  of  sand  is  a  separate  entity,  yet  at  the  same 
member  of  the  cosmopolitian  society  that  we  call  a  beacl 
composed  of  millions  of  grains-    So  it  is  with  man. 

The  final  element  of  this  series  is  surrender  -  the  g 
self  Surrender  doesn't  come  last,  though;  it  c 
simultaneously  with  the  first  desire.  To  seek,  to  < 
another  is  to  begin  the  process  of  surrender.  To  surrer 
the  greatest  obstacle  to  love,  be 
another. 

Human  love  should  be  a  reflection  to  the  univer 
divine  love  is  all  about.  But  how  sad  it  is  that  true  human  love  i 
rarely  attained  today.  From  the  divine  perspective  the  order  of 
relationship  should  be  spiritual,  mental  and  physical.  Today,  th 
reverse  is  usually  ture. 

Covetousness  is  not  love.   Instead  it  is 
lust,  and  lust  is  sin.    Sin  results  in  death. 

Love,  on  the  other  hand,  produces  life.  Love  is  the  essence  of 
true  living.  Begin  it  here,  and  it  will  continue  to  increase 
-^-     ghoul  the  ages  of  eternity.   To  love  is  to  be  like  God.   God  is

Construction  of  the  addition  to  Thatcher  Hall 
continues  in  order  to  meet  the  projected  completion 
date  of  November  25.  1977. 

According  to  Dean  Millie  Runyan,  the  new 
facilities  will  house  approximately  230  women. 

Upon  completion  the  ladies  in  Jones  Hall  (who 
now  number  76)  will  move  to  the  new  rooms,  and  the 
men  will  be  able  to  move  to  Jones.  This  will 
alleviate  the  crowed  three-man-to-a-room  situation 
in  Talge  Hall. 

The  women  living  in  the  new  section  are  only 
occupying  the  west  end.  The  east  end  is  still 
unfinished. 

Two  weeks  ago  the  hot  water  was  connected  to 
the  new  wings.    Telephone  installation  began  last

Present 
Concert

h 


Pat  and  Calvin  Taylor, 
Christian  musicians  from  Los 
Angeles,  will  present  a  live 
concert  of  sacred  music  Sep- 
tember 15  during  chapel  and 
then  again  at  7:30  p.m.  in  the 
Collegedale  Church. 

Pat  was  raised  near  Balti- 
more, Md.,  and  showed  inter- 
est in  music  at  an  early  age. 
After  studying  piano  for  sev- 
eral years,  she  began  singing 
and  accompanying  herself  on 
the  guitar.  Her  interest  in  folk 
singing  led  her  to  perform 
professionally. 

In  1968  Pat  won  a  scholar- 
ship to  the  Oberlin  Conserva- 
tory of  Music  in  Ohio  where 
she  was  a  vocal  performance 
major.  After  one  year  of  study 
there,  she  was  the  recipient  of 
the  Bezazian  Musical  Perform- 
ance Scholarship  Award, 
based  on  audition  and  scholas- 
tic achievement. 

Calvin  began  music  lessons 
at  age  seven  and  later  received 
full  scholarship  to  Oberlin  and 
the  University  of  Michigan. 
While  at  Oberlin,  Calvin  stud- 
ied music  theory  and  improvi- 
sation. As  an  organ  major, 
Calvin  won  recognition  as  an 
improvisor  and  was  the  first 
and  only  student  in  Oberlin's 
history  to  improvise  a  gradu- 
ate concert  encore.

Editorial 


Student  Senate  elections  usually  draw  a  big 
yawn. 

But  suppose  for  a  minute  that  you  are  a 
senator  listening  to  the  pounding  of  Ron  White- 
head's gavel  (donated  by  the  woodworking 
class). 

Are  you  a  rubber  stamp,  amiably  agreeing 
with  the  majority  vote?  Or  are  you  a  real  bill 
bringer-upper? 

Yes,  what  exactly  does  a  senator  do?  Make 
motions?  Second  them?  Maybe  throw  in  a  few 
objections  and  an  abstention  now  and  then? 

Actually,  the  Senate  is  the  pulse  of  a  healthy 
student  body.  It  reflects  the  changing  attitudes, 
desires,  and  needs  of  its  constituency.  Is  this  a 
bunch  of  fluff?  It  doesn't  have  to  be.  Your 
senator  is  the  closest  level  of  student  government 
to  you  --  you  vote  them  right  off  your  hall. 

Discussing  this  with  a  former  senator,  Steve , 
Darmody,  an  analogy  was  born. 

"How  about  this?"Steve  began.  "The  Sen- 
ate is  like  the  engine  of  a  car.  Not  the  steering 
wheel  (although  we  do  need  one),  but  an  engine 
with  good  cylinders.  It's  a  motor  as  good  as  its 
spark  plugs." 

But  now  let's  suppose  you're  not  that  senator. 
Did  you  know  that  the  Senate  meetings  are  open 
to  the  public,  too?  You  can  ponder  the  facts  and 
deliberate  the  issue  with  your  senator  -  in  effect, 
you  can  be  a  live  spark  plug  in  the  motor  of  your 
Student  Association. 

When  engine  parts  conk  out,  the  senate  turns 
into  a  golf  game.  Quipped  Darmody.  "We  get 
out  of  one  hole  and  head  straight  for  another." 

By  way  of  thought,  if  the  Senate  is  the  engine, 
and  the  senators  cylinders,  what  then  is  the 
exhaust?

Letters  To  The  Editor 


Dear  Editor: 

Early  last  Sabbath  morning,  I  was  in  the  usual 
rush  to  get  everything  together,  and,  of  course,  I 
was  running  a  little  late.  As  I  dashed  out  of  my 
room,  I  glanced  at  my  watch  to  note  the  time: 
8:07  a.m. 

"GreatI"  I  thought.  "Just  enough  time  to 
make  it  to  the  cafe  and  then  to  the  service."  Out 
the  door  and  down  the  steps. 

While  I  signed  out  at  the  main  desk,  my 
roommate  waited  near  the  door  and  noticed  a 
small  sign  posted  below  the  baseball  schedule.  It 
was  a  simple  job,  with  little  fanfare,  but  it's 
message  was  all  too  real:  "The  cafeteria  will  be 
open  from  7-8  a.m.  Sabbath  morning."  1  guess  it 
took  a  little  while  to  sink  in  or  something,  but  all 
of  a  sudden  it  dawned  on  us. ..no  breakfasti 

We  dashed  out  the  door  and  ran  to  the  steps, 
meeting  a  couple  of  friends  as  we  passed. 

"Cafe  closed  yet?"    We  shouted  behind  us. 

"No,"  came  the  reply.  "It  won't  close  till 
8:30." 

"Thanksl"  we  panted  back.  Safe!  The  sign 
probably  meant  NEXT  Sabbath,  at  least,  that's 
what  we  thought. 

Into  the  door  and  up  the  stairs.  As  we 
reached  the  landing  we  scanned  the  menu, 
noticing,  as  usual,  that  the  Sabbath  breakfast 
was  going  to  be  light.  As  we  pulled  out  the  ID's 
and  prepared  to  get  our  trays,  we  were  met  by  a 
cold,  closed  door. 

"It's  closed..."  I  stood  for  a  moment  in 
disbelief,  and  then  slowly  turned,  thinking  of  the 
long  service  and  the  growling  stomach  which 
would  deftly  serve  to  embarrass  me  thoroughly 


and  completely  ruin  my  stolid  reputation. 

We  reached  the  downstairs  again,  but  this 
time  moving  much  slower  than  when  we  entered. 
Outside  the  door.  I  glanced  at  the  hastily  placed 
cafeteria  schedule  that  was  taped  over  the  usual 
one, 

"Cafeteria  hours:  Sabbath  breakfast  7:30- 
8:30."  What  in  the  world!  Here  was  a  perfectly 
legitimate  schedule  that  said  that  the  cafeteria 
was  to  be  open,  but  because  of  the  smaller  and 
messier  copy  in  the  dorm,  it  wasn't  to  be  so. 
Back  in  the  room,  I  munched  on  a  Triscuit  and 
wondered  if  the  stomach  would  make  it  through 
the  day. 

It  wouldn't  have  been  all  that  bad,  you  know, 
if  there  had  been  some  kind  of  notice  about  this 
change.  I  know  of  many  people  that  were  out  of  a 
breakfast  that  morning,  just  because  they  didn't 
know  that  there  had  been  a  change.  Oh  well,  it's 
still  early  in  the  year,  and  I'm  sure  that  we  will 
meet  the  smiling  (I  suppose  that's  the  word, 
smirking  wouldn't  be  appropriate)  hostesses  as 
we  bound  breathlessly  up  the  stairs  one  minute 
late.  When  we're  late  because  time  slipped  by, 
well  that's  one  thing.  But  when  we're  late 
because  we  had  no  idea  what  the  hours  had  been 
changed  to  during  the  week.  well,  that's  some- 
thing altogether  different.  Maybe  an  earlier  time 
for  breakfast  is  okay,  but  I  think  we  should  know 
about  it  beforehand,  instead  of  learning  through 
experience.

professor  of  music,  receive^d 
his  Doctor  of  Music  Art  degree 
from  the  University  of  South- 
ern California  in  piano  per- 
formance this  summer.  Al- 
though it  is  considered  un- 
usual for  two  members  of  the 
same  family  to  perform  to- 
gether for  a  doctoral  recital, 
Dr.  Sage's  wife,  Janet,  was 
approved  as  his  soloist  by  the 
university. 

Mrs.  Sage  has  also  written  a 
song  book  this  summer  for 
cradle  roll  age  children  en 
titled  LtUle  Sabbath  Songs 
The  Sabbath  School  Produc 
tions  Company  in  Glendale, 
California,  published  the  book, 
which  is  available  from  most 
Adventist  Book  Centers 

Dr.  Sage  graduated  with  a 
B.A.  from  Loma  Linda  in 
French'and  music.  (Mrs.  Sage, 
coincidentally,    majored    in 


French  and  mihored  in  music). 
Besides  his  classwork,   Dr. 
Sage  conducts  the  Collegedale 
Church  Chancel  Choir. 

350  Attend 


The  East  Hamilton  County 
Kiwanis  Club  raised  S454  at  a 
pancake  feed  Sunday  in  the 
student  park. 

Approximately  350  persons 
attended,  choosing  from  a 
menu  of  eggs,  presage,  pan- 
cakes, and  applesauce. 

The  money  collected  will  go 
toward  an  equipment  fund  for 
the  elementary  schools  in  this 
area,  said  J.M.  Ackerman. 
secretary  of  the  club. 

Kiwanis  International  is  a 
non-denominational  organiza- 
tion, of  which  the  East  Hamil- 
ton County  chapter  is  rela- 
tively new.  It  was  formed  two

Help  Me  To  Understand 


o 


DPam  Legere 

Have  you  ever  deeply  wan- 
ted and  loved  someone  but  for 
some  reason  or  another  you 
couldn't  have  them?  Oh.  bow 
you  ache  inside.  Your  mind  is 
heavy  with  rationalizations 
and  a  lot  of  questions  such  as: 
Why  can't  you  have  them?; 
What's  wrong  with  the  love 
you  have  for  them?;  Where  did 
you  make  the  mistake  of  be- 
coming too  involved?;  How 
come  this  isn't  working  out  the 
way  you  wanted  and  hoped  for 
it  to? 

For  days  and  nights  you  cry, 
privately,  from  the  heartache, 
for  this  seems  to  be  the  only 
way  to  relieve  yourself  from 
that  almost  unbearable  pain. 
But,  yoti  still  wonder  and 
question,  groping  for  the  an- 
swers. 


Then  you  ask,  "Lord,  please 
help  me  to  understand.  Help 
me  to  see  the  answers.  Please 
take  this  pain  and  misery  ft'om 
me  and  help  me  to  get  through 
this  time.  Give  me  the 
strength." 

As  you   lay   your   burdens 


freely  on  Christ,  you  begin  to 
feel  peace.  You  begin  to  see 
more  clearly  the  reason  for  this 
pain  and  hurt.  Christ  wants 
you  to  better  understand  the 
love  and  the  pain  He  feels  for* 
you.  You  start  to  analyze  the 
reason  forChrist'sdeath.  He 
came  down  to  earth  from  hea- 
ven leaving  the  most  glorious 
home  you  can  imagine,  leaving 
His  only  Father  and  all"  the 
hosts  of  heaven ,  to  die  for  you ! 
Christ  saved  you  from  sin's 
wrath.    What  a  price! 

Now  you  apply  to  Christ  the 
questions  you  were  asking 
yourself. 

"Why  can't  He  have  us?" 
Oh,  how  Christ  loves  us  and 
wants  us  but  we  don't  want  to 
take  the  precious  gift  of  salva- 
tion and  surrender  our  all  to 
Him.  In  Proverbsi8:17  Christ's 
love  is  promised  to  those  who 
love  Him  and  to  those  who 
seek  and  find  Him. 

"What's  wrong  with  the 
love  He  has  for  us?"  Nothing 
is  wrong  with  His  love,  it's  all 
so  right  and  perfect!  In  I  John 
4:16>17  it  states  how  perfect 


His  love  is  for  us. 

"Where  did  Christ  make  the 
mistake  of  becoming  too  invol- 
ved?" For  Christ  there  was  no 
mistake.  It  was  all  part  of  the 
creation  and  the  great  plan  of 
salvation. 

Lastly,  "How  come  it  isn't 
working  out  the  way  Christ 
wants  it  to?"  It  is  working  out 
for  Christ.  All  things  work  to 
the  glory  of  the  Lord.  Christ, 
gives  us  the  choice  as  to  whom 
we  shall  follow.  If  we  follow 
Christ  and  be  true  to  Him,  the 
reward  will  be  eternal  life  as 
promised  in  John  3:16. 

Suddenly  you  realize  that 
your  hurt  and  pain  is  just  a 
little  taste  of  the  agony  Christ 
experiences  when  one  of  His 
precious  souls  chooses  to  fol- 
low Satan.  Just  thank  the  Lord 
for  His  everlasting  love  and 
faithfulness  to  us  (Jeremiah 
31:3)  and  for  the  privilege  to 
draw  near  to  His  throne  of 
grace  during  our  time  of  need 
(Hebrews  4:16). 

Praise  the  Lord  for  always 
being  near  us  !

SMC  has  quite  a  collection  of  signs  around  campus  as  its  main 
source  of  nonverbal  public  address. 

These  signs  take  on  all  kinds  of  sizes,  sh^es,  colors,  attitudes, 
and  approaches.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  SMC's  signs  have  almost  as 
much  personality  as  the  CK's  vegetarian  long-link  hotdog. 

Several  very  effective  signs  around  campus  read,  "Don't  even 
thlnkjof  parking  here."  A  very  imaginative  approach.  Ones  eyes 
rivet  to  the  sign  because  of  its  bold  audacity. 

"Well,  be  that  way!"  I  shouted  at  the  sign.  "See  if  I  park  here 
anyway,!""  The  nerve  of  that  sign. 

On  the  way  to  the  cafeteria  there  is  a  sign  that  has  a  more 
indirect  approach,  a  more  or  less  reminder  attitude  that  reads,  "He  | 
leadeth  me  NOT  to  walk  in  these  green  pastures."   In  other  words, 
for  any  dummies,  keep  the  feet  off  the  grass.     Another  thing  to 
notice  about  this  sign  is  its  biblical  twist. 

So  you  see,  my  new  column  followers,  watching  and  analyzing 
signs  is  quite  an  interesting  and  thought-provoking  SDA  approved  l 
pastime.

Grading  Standards  Decline 

College  Freshmen  Enter  With  Higher  Scores  Than  Ever 


Los  Angeles  --  A  survey  of 
entering  college  freshman  in- 
dicates that  grading  standards 
in  high  schools  have  been 
steadily  declining  since  the 
late  1960s. 

Freshmen  are  entering  col- 
lege with  higher  grades  than 
ever,  apparently  the  result  of 
grade  inflation  in  secondary 
schools,  according  to  the  Uth 
annual  survey  conducted  by 
the  University  of  California  at 
Los  Angeles  and  the  American 
Council  on  Education. 

The  survey,  released  yester- 
day, found  that  college  fresh- 
men entering  with  an  A  aver- 
age are  now  equal  to  the  num- 
ber with  C  averages.  In  the 
late  1960s  C  students  outnum- 
bered A  students  by  more  than 
2-1. 

Among  1976  college  fresh- 
men, nearly  one  in  five  earned 
an  A  average  in  high  school, 
an  increase  of  1 .4  per  cent  over 
1975  and  6.2  per  cent  over 
1969. 

The  number  of  C  students 
declined  from  32.5  per  cent  to 
19.8  per  cent. 

"When  you  consider  these 
grade  increases  in  the  light  of 
declining  college  admission 


scores,  it  is  hard  to  escape  the 
conclusion  that  grading  stan- 
dards in  secondary  schools 
have  been  declining  steadily 
since  the  late  1960s,'*  said 
Alexander  W.  Astin,  a  profes- 
sor at  UCLA  and  director  of 
the  survey. 

He  said  57.7  per  cent  of 
those  in  the  survey  agree  with 
the  statement  that  "grading  in 
the  high  schools  has  become 
too  easy." 

Grade  inflation  at  the  col- 
lege level,  which  has  been 
documented  in  other  surveys, 
is  also  reflected  in  the  academ- 
ic expectations  of  the  fresh- 
men, which  Astin  said  was 
"at  a  new  high." 

Two  students  in  five  said 
they  believed  their  chances  of 
getting  at  least  a  B  average  in 
college  were  very  good,  com- 
pared to  38.6  per  cent  in  1975 
and  23.6  per  cent  in  197L 
Eleven  per  cent  of  the  1976 
freshmen  said  they  expected 
to  graduate  with  honors,  while 
only  10.3  per  cent  said  so  in 
1975  and  3.7  per  cent  in  1968. 

The  1976  survey  was  based 
on  questionnaires  completed 
by  328,318  freshmen  entering 
592  two-year  and  four-year  col- 
leges and  universities.    Astin

said  of  these,  215,890  question- 
naires from  393  colleges  were 
used  to  compute  national 
norms. 

The  survey  found  that  stu- 
dents continue  to  view  energy, 
the  environment  and  consum- 
er protection  as  major  national 
issues. 

While  student  attitudes  to- 
vard  controversial  issues  have 
become  more  liberal  in  recent 
years,  the  1976  freshman  dis- 
played certain  conservative 
trends  and  a  movement  to  the 
right  in  political  self-identifica- 
tion. 

Three  out  of  five  students, 
or  59.7  per  cent,  now  believe 
"There  is  too  much  concern  in 
the  courts  for  the  rights  of 
criminals."  This  compares 
with  53.5  per  cent  in  1975  and 
48.1  per  cent  in  1971. 

In  political  identification, 
the  number  of  liberals  declin- 
ed from  28.8  per  cent  to  25.6 
per  cent  and  the  number  of 
conservatives  increased  from 
14.5  per  cent  to  15.2  per  cent. 

"This  is  the  first  time  in  the 
history  of  the  survey  that  liber- 
als have  not  maintained  at 
least  a  2-1  edge  over  conserva- 
tives,"   Astin  said.

The  Sabbath  calls  our  thoughts  to  nature, 

and  brings  us  into  communion  with  the  Creator. 

In  the  song  of  the  bird, 

the  sighing  of  the  trees, 

the  music  of  the  sea. 
We  may  still  hear  His  voice 

who  talked  with  Adam  and  Eve 
in  the  cool  of  the  day. 

And  as  we  behold  His  power  in  nature 

we  find  comfort. 
For  the  word  that  created  all  things 

is  that  which  speaks  life  to  the  soul. 

He  "who  commanded  the  light  to  shine  out  of  darkness, 
hath  shined  in  our  hearts, 
to  give  the  light 

of  the  knowledge 

of  the  glory  of  God 

in  the  face  of  Jesus  Christ."*

What  Is 
Commitment? 


"Commit  your  way  to  the  Lord. 
Trust  also  in  Him,  and  He  will  do  it."    Psalm  37:5  NASB 


A  Biology  Study  Tour  to 
Australia  and  New  Zealand, 
sponsored  by  Andrews  Univer- 
sity, is  planned  for  the  sum- 
mer of  1978.  Approximate 
dates  are  from  June  II  to 
August  25.  allowing  time  to 
complete  up  to  a  quarter  of 
college  credit. 

By  utilizing  modest  facilities 
and  camping  out  part  of  the 
time  the  cost  will  be  held  as 
low  as  possible.  Including  air 
transportation  from  the  west 
coast,  about  10-12,000  miles  of 
surface  travel  in  Australia  and 
New  Zealand,  lodging,  camp 
fees  and  tuition  the  cost  will  be 
about  $2,675.  The  cost  of  food 
not  included  in  the  above  fig- 
ure will  be  on  a  share  expense 
basis  and  should  be  quite  nom- 
inal. 

The  study  expedition  is  be- 
ing announced  a  year  ahead  of 
time  to  facilitate  planning  on 
the  part  of  prospective  partici- 
pants, those  who  may  wish  to 
integrate  available  courses  in- 
to their  curriculum  as  part  of  a 
major  or  as  a  science  require- 
ment and  those  who  may  want 
to  read  about  the  region  ahead 
of  time  to  make  the  trip  most 
rewarding.  Up  to  twenty-four 
students  can  be  accommodat- 


Leading  the  tour  will  be  Asa  ther  information  and  applic.

one  match  you  automatically 
compete  to  win  the  consolation

To  commit  means  to  give  to  another  that  which  you  possess.  It 
means  to  give  up  self  and  to  really  live.  Commitment  has  several 
aspects  to  it.  To  grasp  these  aspects  and  to  apply  them  will  result  in 
genuine  commitment. 

A  commitment  to  freedom  involves  the  liberation  of  man  from 
the  thralldom  of  sin.  Sin  is  bondage,  and  the  chains  of  bondage  fall 
off  under  the  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit  because  He  is  the  key  to 
victory  -  the  daily,  complete  mastery  of  sin.  For  to  be  free  is  to  be 
like  God;  freedom  sets  its  course  toward  the  spheres  of  infinity. 

As  man  experiences  freedom  from  bondage,  a  commitment  to 
life  comes  into  focus.  Life  encompasses  the  daily  sphere  of 
existence.  Senses  awaken  as  the  Holy  Spirit  teaches  man  the  art  of 
living,  and  to  live  is  to  be  like  God. 

A  commitment  to  growth  involves  the  daily  addition  of  the  fruits 
and  graces  ofthe  Holy  Spirit.  Once  a  man  has  life,  he  has  begun  his 
spring,  the  season  of  new  planting  and  the  opening  buds  of  life. 
Growth  will  continue  because  it  is  natural.  With  the  sunshine  and 
dew  of  heaven,  maturity  comes,  and  advancement  will  always  be 
ahead  for  the  growing  plant  in  the  kingdom  of  God. 

A  commitment  to  share  grants  the  man  the  privilege  of 
blessing  others  locked  in  the  bondage  of  selfishness  that  never 
seeks  to  give,  only  to  get  and  to  keep.  Sharing  becomes  the  agency 
of  telling  about  the  wonders  of  the  God  of  heaven.  That  which  a 
man  has  known  of  these  himself  is  the  best  kind  of  sharing  that  he 
can  impart. 

A  commitment  to  love  is  the  greatest  form  of  commitment  in  the 
universe.  When  Jesus  committed  Himself  to  the  salvation  of  man  in 
the  Council  of  Peace,  He  made  the  manifestation  of  love  a  bit 
clearer,  and  when  He  died  on  the  cross,  the  commitment  of  love

Loving  requires  the  totality  of  the  person.   Love  must  be  all  if  it 

reservations.  It  gives,  and  the  source  of  its  giving  never  runs  drv 
or  to  love  is  to  be  like  God.  He  knows  no  s'et  limits  for  freedom

Next  week  we  will  explore  the  second  half  of  this  verse  to  see  the 
connection  between  trust  and  commitment.

The  Road:   What's  Taking  So  Long? 


D  Dennis  Canther 


Amid  upset  and  impatient  comments  over  the  inconvenience  of  the 
closed  main  entrance  to  Collegedale  and  rough  back-road  detours,  City 
Manager  Lee  Holland  assures  Collegedale  residents  of  a  hard  paved 
surface  to  drive  on  this  winter. 

Aware  of  various  misconceptions  concerning  the  road  construction 
project.  Holland  gave  The  Southern  Accent  a  capsule  account  of  what 
has  happened  and  will  happen. 

Several  years  ago  the  State  of  Tennessee  decided  to  build  an 
entrance  road  into  Collegedale.  To  do  this  they  would  use  State  funds 
(called  rural  road  funds)  which  were  channeled  through  Hamilton 
County. 

The  Hamilton  County  judge  administers  these  funds  and  uses  them 
on  State-approved  projects.  The  plans  for  the  new  road  were  drawn  up 
during  the  administration  of  Hamilton  County  Judge  Chester  Frost. 
He  preceded  the  present  Judge  Don  Moore. 

When  Judge  Frost  went  put  of  office  and  Judge  Moore  came  in. 
Judge  Moore  decided  that  the  cost  of'this  project  had  escalated  too 
rapidly  due  to  a  number  of  factors  (including  the  inflation  that  hit  in 
1974  causing  road  material  prices  to  double).  He  did  not  feel  he  could 
utilize  that  amount  of  money  for  this  one  project. 


The  State  said  if  Hamilton  County  will  not  utilize  their  funds  for  the 
road  project,  then  they  would  pull  out  their  approval  completely. 

So  the  State  refused  to  help,  and  the  project  was  dead.  Then  the 
City  of  Collegedale  decided  they  wanted  some  type  of  new  road 
anyway.  Upon  investigation  the  City  found  that  it  could  build  a  new 
road  considerably  cheaper  than  the  State.  The  State  projects  run  three 
to  four  times  the  money  that  a  local  government  would  put  into  the 
same  project. 

At  this  time,  the  City  inspected  the  intersection  crossing*  the 
railroad  and  decided  it  needed  to  be  moved.  The  confusion  of  the  five 
intersecting  roads  and  the  occurrence  of  several  collisions  hastened  this 
tam  to  p.  2f  col.  4

The 

Hiding 

Place 

Coming 

Oct.  9 


DCurtis  McCriliis 

A  major  screen  presentation 
based  on  the  best-selling  book. 
The  Hiding  Place,  will  be  shown 
in  the  Physical  Education  Center 
Sunday,  Oct.  9. 

The  2'/2  hour  film,  which  has 
captivated  eight  million  readers 
in  book  form,  is  the  life  story  of 
Corrie  Tenboom's  experiences  in 
a  German  Na;^i  war  camp.  The 
film  graphically  illustrates  the 
horrors  of  World  War  II  on  the 
European  front.  Corrie's  serenity 
throughout  the  story  is  baffling, 
yet  touching. 

The  film  will  be  shown  twice: 
once  at  3  p.m.  and  again  at  8  p.m. 

The  admission  price  will  be  $1 
for  all.  including  students.  -Funds

ganization. 


Wright  Hall  Circle  Drive 
Becomes  One-Way  Road 


SMC    Students    Cast 
Company  One  Drama 


DMike  Ringstaff 

Company  One,  a  religious 
drama  organization  from  Anguin, 
Calif.,  will  present  vespers  Fri- 
day, Sept.  16. 

,  Company  One  is  headed  by  Jim 
Pappas  of  Pacific  Union  College, 
who  serves  in  the  dual  capacity  of 
both  manager,  and  director. 

The  production,  titled  Heaven 


Is  A  Nice  Place  To  Visit,  Bat . .  ., 

will  include  SMC  students  on  the 
cast. 

Sabbath  morning,  Sept.  17, 
Company  One  will  present  an- 
other drama  in  the  Physical  Edu- 
cation Center,  starring  a  new  cast 
of  SMC  students. 


DDonnie  Keele 

President  Frank  Knittel  reveal- 
ed today  that  the  mall  circle  drive 
in  front  of  Wright  Hall  will  be- 
come a  one  way  road  within  the 
next  few  weeks. 

Dr.  Knittel  said  the  administra- 
tion felt  this  action  will  add  to  the 
safety  factor  of  this  area  of  the 
campus  and  will  help  eliminate 


some  of  the  minor  accidents 
which  have  occurred  as.a  result  of 
poor  visibility  around  the  corners. 

He  also  stated  that  the  circle 
drives  in  front  of  both  dormitories 
will  become  one  way.  The  park- 
ing stripes  will  be  altered  to 
accommodate  this  change. 

Another  area  Dr.  Knittel  cited 
was  that  of  the  long  drives  on  the 


east  side  of  both  dorms  which 
lead  to  the  dorm  parking  lots. 
"These,"  he  said,  "will  be  block- 
ed off  at  the  mall  road  and  new 
exits  will  be  formed  on  the  far 
ends  of  both  dorms." 

By  taking  this  action,  the  Col- 
lege administration  hopes  to  cut 
down  on  the  traffic  using  the 
mall.

Appeals 

Route 

DJim  Guy 

The  College  faculty  voted  this 
summer  to  begin  a  new  procedure 
whereby  students  can  appeal  dis- 
ciplinary action. 

The  route  of  appeal  is  listed  on 

page  31  of  the  student  handbook 

and  is  as  follows:     1.     dean  of 

students;  2.  judiciary  committee; 

'    3.    president  of  the  college. 

"Skipping  chapels  or  worships, 
maybe  borrowing  that  $10  bill  the 
person  next  door  thought  they 
hid  falsifying  a  weekend  pass  in 
some  way,  publicly  embarrassing 
the  College  with  sexual  involve- 
ment, or  getting  into  the  drug 
scene  (which  includes  alcohol)  all 
reflect  an  attitude  that  will  put 
you  on  discipline."  says  Dr.  Mel- 
vin  D.  Campbell,  dean  of  student 
affairs. 

This  doesn't  mean  students  can 
do  as  they  wish  and  then  plead  a 
change  in  heart.  But  it  does  give 
the  student  a  route  of  recourse.

MENC 
Retreat 
At   Atoka 
Springs 

DKathy  Oakley 

The  SMC  chapter  of  the  Musi- 
cal Educators  National  Confer- 
ence (MENC)  will  hold  its  annual 
retreat  at  Atoka  Springs  Camp 
this  weekend,  Sept.  16-18,  ac- 
cording to  Alan  Mathieu,  presi- 
^  dent. 

B  Elder  Lorenzo  Grant,  assistant 
professor  of  religion,  will  be  the 
guest  speaker. 

There  will  be  a  $14  charge  to 
cover  food  and  transportation. 
The  bus  will  leave  Wright  Hall  at 
2  p.m.  Friday,  and  will  return 
around  6  p.m.  Sunday. 

Mathieu  emphasized  that  the 
retreat  is  not  just  for  MENC 
members,  but  for  anyone  who  has 
an  interest  in  music  and  would 
like  to  get  acquainted  with  others 
who  share  that  interest. 


Debbie  Ray  was  selected  the 
national  runner-up  prize  winner 
by  the  editorial  staff  of  Brides 
magazine  in  the  Fostoria-  Pickard 
National  Home  Economics  Con- 
test. 

Because  of  her  winning  entry, 
she  has  recently  received  4  five- 
piece  place  settings  of  china  and  4 
four-piece  place  settings  of  crys- 
tal. 

Sandra  Stubbs  placed  fourth  in 
the  23rd  Annual  Lenox  Creative 
Table   Setting  Contest  and   re- 


ceived a  place  setting  of  Lenox 
China  and  Lenox  Crystal  in  the 
pattern  she  used  in  her  winning 
entry.  In  the  same  contest  six 
students  received  parchment  Cer- 
tificates of  Honorable  Mention. 
They  are:  Ruth  Martin,  Marcia 
Thomas,  Debbie  Ray,  Cheri  Ko-

Cushman,  associate  professor  of 
home  economics. 


decision. 

The  City  of  Collegedale  again  approached  Hamilton  County  about 
participating  in  this  project.  They  agreed  to  a  proposal  whereby 
Collegedale  would  build  the  road,  and  Hamilton  County  gravel  and 
pave  the  entire  project,  including  the  intersection.  The  section  in  the 
valley  is  now  ready  for  asphalt. 

The  City  of  Collegedale  also  approached  the  Southern  Railroad 
system  about  new  signals.  It  was  decided  to  move  the  crossing  toward 
the  broom  shop.  Signals,  cross  arms,  lights,  and  bells  will  be  installed 
within  two  to  four  weeks. 

The  City  pays  ten  per  cent  of  the  total  cost  and  the  State  and 
railroad  pay  the  rest.  This  is  the  most  modem  type  of  crossing  that  is 
used  today.  Plastic  Neopreme  between  the  tracks  will  provide 
extremely  smooth  crossing. 

The  work  has  been  done  in  three  stages  and  is  in  the  third  and  final 
stage.  The  contract  calls  for  the  construction  and  leveling  to  be 
finished  Oct.  14.  Graveling  and  paving  will  be  completed  shortly 
afterwards. 

More  on  moving  telephoae  lines,  dynamiting,  city  stickers,  and  detour 
chock  holes  next  week. 


CHEA  Plans  Trip  To  Smoky 
Mountains    September 


The  Collegedale  Home  Eco- 
nomics Association  (CHEA)  met 
together  and  organized  at  an  in- 
formal hoagie  supper  at  the  home 
of  Thelma  Cushman,  a  CHEA 
sponsor. 

Debbie  Ray,  association  presi- 
dent, says  the  CHEA  has  several 
activities  planned  for  the  coming 
year.  One  event  is  a  trip  to  the 
Smokies  at  the  end  of  September. 
On  October  16  the  association  is 


sponsoring  a  craft  fair. 

During  second  semester,  sev- 
eral non-credit  mini-courses  will 
be  offered  to  the  general  student 
body  and  anyone  living  in  the 
Chattanooga  area.  These  mini- 
courses  include  cake  decorating, 
tole  painting,  tatting,  and  camp- 
fire  cookery.

^■^•y,  ScptMBbn  IS,  1977  THE  SOCTHESN  ACCENI  ■  3 


UTC  Professor  Analyzes  Carter's  Polici 


es 


William  H.  Masterson.  prpfes- 
sor  of  history  and  former  chancel- 
lor at  the  University  of  Tennessee 
in  Chattanooga  spoke  to  32  as- 
sembled guests  of  the  history  club 
last  Tuesday  about  the  Jimmy 
Carter  administration. 


Stress  Human  Rights 


He  said  that  Carter  had 
brought  a  number  of  new  ap- 
proaches to  foreign  policy.  Carter 
has  stressed  human  rights,  the 
importance  of  having  friends  of 
America  in  the  underdeveloped 
world  {especially  Africa),  and  the 
need  to  be  morally  right,  includ- 
ing no  more  secret  deals.  He  has 
also  told  other  nations  to  treat 
their  people  as  people,  otherwise 
America  is  not  interested  in  deal- 
ing with  them.  Those  in  the  U.S. 
as  illegal  immigrants  will  be  al- 
lowed to  stay,  but  no  more  future 
entering  illegals.  This  makes 
Mexico  happy. 

Masterson  stressed  that  Japan 
is  more  important  to  the  U.S.  than 
Russia.  Make  Japan  happy.  In 
Europe,  make  West  Germany 
strong.  Agreement  with  the 
Chinese,  say  Carter  and  Master- 
son,  should  not  be  at  the  expense 
of  Taiwan.  Says  Carter,  "If  they 
want  our  wheat,  they  must  give 
something  of  equal  value  in  re- 
turn. We  need  oil,  but  have  food 


and  technology.  We  will  use  this 
food  and  technology  as  a  means  of 
securing  oil  and  of  making  deals 
with  people." 


Don't  Interfere 


The  attitude  of  the  Carter  ad- 
ministration is  to  let  other  people 
run  their  own  show.  If  they  want 
to  have  a  revolution,  don't  inter- 
fere.Don't  get  excited.  Keep  U.S. 
militarily  strong.  If  trouble 
erupts  overseas,  get  the  people  in 
that  area  to  deal  with  the  problem 
regionally-Brazil  in  Latin  Ameri- 
ca, Zaire  in  Africa,  Iran  in  Asia, 
Saudi  Arabia  and  Israel  in  the 
Middle  East.  Assume  that  blacks 
will  eventually  rule  South  Africa 
and  Rhodesia.  Act  accordingly. 
Start  thinking  about  blacks  in 
Central  and  South  Africa.  Pull 
Castro  towards  us  if  he  will  re- 
move his  Cuban  froops  from  Afri- 
ca. Also,  if  better  relations  are  to 
come  with  Castro  he  will  need  to 
release  his  political  prisoners. 

Latin  Americans  are  generally 
happy  with  the  new  Panama  Ca- 
nal freaties.  Masterson  believes 
the  treaties  will  be  ratified  by  the 
Senate. 

Carter  believes  we  should  for- 
get being  paranoid  about  Com- 
munism. He  was  not  connected 
with   the   Vietnam   War,    so   no

blame  can  be  attached  to  him  in 
connection  with  it.  He  has  a  clean 
slate.  Says  Carter,  "We  will  quit 
selling  fremendous  shipments  of 
arms  to  other  countries." 

Masterson  believes  that  Geor- 
gian Andrew  Young,  black  am- 
bassador to  the  United  Nations,  is 
doing  the  U.S.  more  harm  than 
good. 


Black  Unemployment 


Masterson  then  turned  his  at- 
tention to  the  domestic  scene.  He 
noted  that  unemployment  among 
blacks  is  five  times  that  among 
whites.  Blacks  want  action  on 
jobs  from  the  Carter  adminisfra- 
tion  and  are  turned  off  by  Carter' s 
talk  about  a  balanced  budget. 
7,000,000  black  votes  elected  Jim- 
my Carter,  and  they  are  now 
displeased  by  the  lack  of  action. 

Carter  is  very  conservative 


Social  security  has  cost  IVi 
times  as  much  as  it  was  thought  it 
would  cost;  highways  have  cost  3 
times  as  much  as  they  were  esfi- 
mated  to  cost.  Welfare  costs  are 
stratospheric.  Carter  is  determin-' 
ed  to  keep  a  lid  on  government 
spending.  Bert  Lance  is  close  to 
Carter  and  is  one  of  the  most 
conservative  persons  around 
Carter.  Therefore,  the  free 
spenders  want  Lance  out.  Mast- 
erson believes  it  is  these  liberals 
who  are  behind  the  current  drive 
to  get  Lance  to  resign,  but  thinks 
Lance  will  stay  on  for  a  year  while 
the  heat  is  on  and  then  resign 
when  the  nation's  attention  is 
directed  toward  something  else. 


Expectations  High 


Expectations  of  Carter  were 
high,  and  some  people  are  mad 
because  he  has  not  measured  up 
to  their  expectations.    For  exam- 


ple, the  labor  unions  wanted  a  S3 
per  hour  minimum  wage.  Carter 
wanted  $2.40.  The  compromise  is 
$2.65  and  that  or  something  near 
that  is  what  will  pass.  Carter  also 
wanted  30  water  projects  can- 
celed because  of  their  high  cost 
and  low  yield,  but  there  was  a  big 
howl  of  protest.  So  Carter  com- 
promised; he  will  only  cancel  15  . 
projects.  But,  says  Masterson, 
Carter  did  save  money. 

Masterson  observed  that 
people  don't  believe  government 
any  more.  They  don't  think  there 
is  an  energy  crisis  and  blame  the 
oil  companies.  Post-Watergate 
finds  people  sceptical  and  suspi- 
cious. They  have  been  duped 
before  and  they  do  not  want  to  be 
deceived  again. 

Masterson  believes  Carter  will 
loosen  up  on  spending  as  he 
approaches  the  1980  presidential 
election  and  a  bid  for  a  second 
term.  In  the  meantime,  he  can 
veto  pork  barrel  measures  he 
considers  exfravagant  and  give

A  YEABBOOK  WITH  A  MESSAGE 


4  .  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  I1iiii«Uy,  September  15,  1977

Editorial 


Flippine  through  Time  magazine  in  the  library,  you  glance  at 
the  northeast  face  of  the  hanging  clock.  9:30  -  just  enough  fme 
to  look  up  that  source  book  before  Biology  class.  „    . .,  , 

Glancing   at  the  southwest  face  you  are  amazed  to  tind  that 
you  gained  10  minutes  by  crossing  the  floor  to  the  card  catalog 
After  finding  that  priceless  book,  you  are  about  to  leave  for  your 
next  class.  A  look  over  your  shoulder  to  the  southeast  face 
assures  you  that  vou  have  seven  minutes  to  get  to  Hackman. 

When  in  fact  you  do  get  there,  you  throw  up  your  hands  m 
dismay,  scattering  books  and  papers  everywhere,  and  attractmg 
wary  stares.  Did  you  pass  through  a  time  warp?  Th.s  clock  tells 
vou  that  vou're  three  hours  and  sixteen  minutes  early  for  FBI 
■     Ever  wondered  what  time  it  reaUy  was?  Apparently.  iMl. 
has  its  own  time  system,  distinct  from  Chattanooga,  as  ona 
student  found  out  while  trying  to  obtain  a  chapel  card.  ^  _ 
So  prodded  by  the  undying  question,  •  'What  time  is  it?   ,  we  set 
out  to  discover  tnie  SMC  standard  time. 

While  checking  the  faces  of  time  that  w 
this  is  what  we  found: 

Student  Center  Lobby  -  5  mil 
(the  hallway  clock  is  stuck 

Talge  tobby  -- 17  rain,  slow 

English  Department  ■-  4  ajw  slow 

Daniells  Hall  -■  3  min.  slow 

Library's  four-faced  clock:    SE  -  7  r 


e  all  depend  upon, 

1.  slow 
on  3:00) 


NE-lSi 


I.  slow 
in.  slow 
n.  slow 


SW-Sii 
NW- 4  min.  slow 
The  All-Time  Time-Bender  Prize,  however,  went  to  Miller  Hall, 
which  was  trailing  five  hours  and  35  minutes  behind 
Chattanooga. 

Lest  we  give  the  impression  that  all  of  SMC  is  behind  the 
times,  we  must  doff  our  hats  to  Jones,  Thatcher,  and  the  religion 
department.  These  and  about  halt  of  the  other  clocks  were 
tolerably  close,  but  we  were  still  no  closer  to  answering  our 
question. 

"SMC  time?"  smirked  Ole  Kristensen.  "It's  whatever  your 
watch  says.  There'snosuch  thing  as  SMC  time!"  And,  alas,  we 
had  to  agree. 

In  talking  to  Richard  Reiner,  business  manager  of  SMC,  he 
suggested  that  the  solution  would  be  an  extensive  master  clock 
system.  Though  he  had  no  figures  on  the  cost  of  such  a  system, 
he  was  sure  of  one  thing:  it  would  be  expensive. 

Extensive  and  expensive  -  the  solution  to  jangled  nerves  and 
class  "absences"  due  to  tardiness. 

Say.  wonder  what  we're  paying  for  these  lost  hours  in 
tuition?    Maybe  the  master  clock  system  is  worth  checking  into.

Letters  To  The  Editor 


Dear  Editor: 

The  other  afternoon  I  was  returning  t"  Col- 
legedale by  one  of  the  two  alternate  detours  (that 
are  now  an  ingrained  part  of  SMC  society)  when  1 
noticed  something  that  1  am  sure  each  bakery 
truck  has  had  to  contend  with  ever  since  the 
detours  were  instituted  almost  a  year  ago.  1  ne 
toads  are  dangerous.  Not  only  are  they  bad, 
bumpy,  and  of  all-around  poor  quality,  they  ate 
downright  safety-defying.  I  never  was  one  to 
jump  on  city  officials  for  short  foresight,  or  even 
for  making  a  couple  of  bad  decisions  now  and 
then.  After  all,  we're  human.  But  when  poor 
judgment  seems  to  run  things,  that's  when  I  start 
asking  questions. 

As  I  was  bouncing  (really,  it  was  more  like 
agitating)  along  the  scenic  Talent  road  detour, 
breathing  in  the  fragrant  exhaust  of  a  fully  loaded 
diesel  rig  and  eating  four  pounds  of  bright  red 
Tennessee  dust,  it  occured  to  me  that  many 
conscientious!  SMC  students  were  having  to  pay 
for  this  privilege.  I  say  conscientious  because 
during  the  last  elecrion  they  realized  that  de- 
ciding who  the  next  president  was  going  to  be 
was  importani.  and  they  got  out  and  voted.  Now 
they  find  out  that  because  they  registered  and 
voted  here  at  Collegedale  (after  a  frontal  barrage 
of  Circle  K  Club  members  peddled  registration 
forms  outside  almost  every  open  door  on  this 
campus  to  get  them  all  registered  here)  they  will 
have  to  pay  five  dollars  for  a  city  sticker,  which, 
or  so  the  story  goes,  pays  for  upkeep  of  the  city's 
streets  and  roads.  So  as  it  turns  out,  not  only  ^id 
they  get  rooked  on  who  got  into  the     Whitehouset 


but  they're  having  to  pay  for  it  through  municipal 
government  too. 

The  more  1  thought  about  it.  the  more  it  didn't 
make  sense.  I  would  gladly  pay  five  dollars  to  get 
the  road  finished,  if  that  would  do  it,  but  I  don't 
think  it  would.  There  have  been  so  many 
excuses  going  around  for  not  having  the  road 
finished  that  now  they're  starting  them  over 
again  and  no  one's  noticing. 

By  the  time  I  got  to  my  parking  space,  1 
realized  another  ramification.  Not  only  do  Mckee 
trucks  have  to  beat  through  winding  and  dan- 
gerous stretches  of  road  to  hit  the  highways,  but 
also  the  fine  emergency  equipment  must  do  the 
same  just  to  reach  a  distressed  party  at  a  location 
that  is  literally  just  around  the  corner.  I  would 
hate  to  be  the  man  that  is  sitting  in  his  house  near 
four  corners  reading  the  paper,  and  suddenly 
smell  smoke. 

So  now,  as  I  sit  at  my  typewriter,  creating  a 
piece  of  journalism  (in  its  loosest  sense)  that  we 
could  all  do  without,  I  realize  that  finding  fault  is 
not  going  to  help  --  a  solution  is.  But  then. ..who 
do  we  turn  to  for  a  solution  --  the  same  ones  being 
found  fault  with. 

There  is  a  rumor  that  the  new  road  project  has 
ceased  any  kind  of  progress  because  the  project 
is  out  of  money.  There  is  a  rumor  that  the  road  is 
costing  more  than  estimated  because  of  unfor- 
seen  problems.  There  is  a  rumor  that  no  one 
knows  what  is  going  on  because  no  one  is  in 
control  of  the  situation.  It  seems  that  I've  heard 
it  all  before.  Something  about  a  pipeline  in 
Alaska....

-Night  Patrol  On  The  Prowl 


OBill  Marcom 

Lightfooted,  like  back-woods 
trappers,  they  prowl  through  the 
night  shadows  that  blanket  SMC, 
or  crouch  in  the  deep  shadows  to 
watch  and  wait.. .for  crime  to 
occur,  for  a  car  to  be  burglarized, 
for  a  building  to  be  pillaged... 

They  are  guardians,  protectors 
of  our  cars  and  campus  --  and 
their  walkie  talkies  can  help  them 
call  up  the  cavalry  by  linking 
them  quickly  to  the  Collegedale 
Police  Dept.,  should  any  really 
heavy  criminal  activity  be  en- 
countered. 

Probably  the  school-funded 
night  patrol  is  taken  for  granted 
by  students,  yet  their  service  to 
us  is  essential  for  campus  secur- 
ity, and  even  the  security  of  the 
surrounding  Collegedale  area. 
For  example,  the  God-fearing 
people  of  this  community  are  con- 
cerned about  drug  traffic,  but  few 
of  them  realize  that  even  the 
campus's  night  patrol  occassion- 
ally  becomes  involved  in  investi- 
gations to  thwart  the  problem. 

Jack  Kovalski.  an  SMC  student 
and  paid  member  of  the  patrol, 
related  an  incident  to  me  of  last 
spring... 

Following  a  lead  that  perhaps  a 
narcotics  deal  might  be  "going 
down"-in  the  student  park,  Jack. 
Dean  Brunken,  and  Ted  Webster 
surrounded  the  park  and  began  to 
penetrate  it  on  foot.  Ordering 
walkie-talkie  silence  among  them- 
selves (so  that  the  supposed  dope 
dealers  wouldn't  hear  their  ap- 
'  proach)  they  slowly  closed  in;  the 
anticipation  of  danger  up  ahead 


Photo  by  Mark  Ford 


wound   their    nerves   into   tight' 
coils. 

Then,  abruptly,  Pam  Keele's 
voice  shattered  the  night  silence, 
as  it  errupted  from  the  three 
talkies  at  full  volume,  to  ask, 
"Are  you  boys  scared  out  there?" 
(She  was,  herself,  seated  com- 
fortably, safely  at  the  Thatcher 
desk  dispatch  radio. ) 

Anyway,  as  Jack  explained  it  to 
me,  the  sudden  sound  of  her  voice 
in  that  silent  night,  as  they  creptr 
toward  possible  danger,  gave  him 
the  same  sort  of  a  start  one  feels 
when  someone  walks  up  behind 
you  and  shouts  BOOl  He  claims 
that  his  physical  reaction,  an  im- 
promptu high  jump,  may  have 
exceeded  any  on  record! 

By  the  way,  no  criminals  were 
found. 

Then  Jack  recounts  the  night 
he  was  touring  the  biology  build- 
ing's lower  level,  flashlight  in 
hand,  when  suddenly  he  encount- 
ered a  bobcat,  fangs  bared,  paws 
audaciously  raised,  eyes  agleem 
with  ferocity. 

it  was  apparent  from  his  initial 
fear  that  the  taxonomist  had  done 
superior  work! 

And,  thfn  there  was  the  night 
(2:30  a.m.)  that  Jack  and  Dean 
Brunken  found  themselves  in  a 
foot  chase,  in  heavy  pursuit  of  a 
suspect  who  was  fleeing  the 
campus  area.  When  they  had  at 
last  detained  the  suspect,  one  of 
those  classic  moments  of  embar- 
rassment ensued;  the  suspect  was 
a  woman,  in  her  40's,  who  was 
merely  indulging  a  whim  to  go 
jogging. 


Did  you  know  that  it  is  general 
procedure  for  the  night  patrol  to 
stop  and  question  anyone  found 

grounds  after  10:30  p.m.?  Mrs. 
Knittel,  let  "em  know  you're 
coming  in  advance! 

More  on  the  serious  side,  and 
in  all  fairness  to  Jack,  his  job  is 
not  a  comedy,  as  it  would  seem. 
In  this  interview  he  displayed 
devotion  and  enthusiasm  toward 
his  night  watchman's  job,  and  he 
admitted  frankly  and  openly  that 
he  was  concerned  about  the 
image  the, night  patrol  projected 
to  the  public  it  serves.  He  ex- 
pressed fear  that  perhaps  stu- 
dents have  an  imcoraplete  under- 
standing of  the  role  of  the  night 
patrol,  and  may  refuse  to  recog 
nize  it  as  a  legitimate  extension  of 
campus  law  enforcement. 

So  far  this  year,  Jack  reports, 
security  has  been  quiet  --  perhaps 
partly  because  last  year  a  CB  and 
car  stereo  theft  ring  was  caught 
by  the  Collegedale  and  Hamilton 
County  Police.  This  ring  could  hit 
six  cars  in  broad  daylight! 

Sounding  ebullient  and  opti' 
mistic.  Jack  contended  that  with 
the  higher  quality  calibe 
young  people  that  are  attending 
SMC  this  year,  most  problems  of 
theft  will  be  external. 

The  night  patrol  -  they  don't 
carry  guns,  but  they  still  serve 
you  and  me.  Their  principal  tool: 
are  their  eyes  and  their  ears,  and 
sometimes  swift  legs.  So,  re 
member.. .10:30!

I  Missed  My  Flight  Home 


DPam  Legere 

The  airplane  was  circling  At- 
lanta airport  at  8:10  p.m.  and  I 
had  a  connecting  flight  leaving 
Atlanta  at  8:25  p.m.  Finally, 
eight  minutes  later  at  8:18  p.m. 
the  plane  landed.  1  had  only 
seven  minutes  to  get  from  one 
end  of  the  terminal  to  the  otherin 
order  to  make  my  connectioi^ 
After  being  shuttled  from  the 
plane  to  the  terminal.  I  had  four 
minutes  left. 


As  soon  as  my  little  feet  got 
inside  the  terminal.  1  walked  as 
fast  as  they  could  possibly  carry 
me.  That  wasn't  fast  enough  so  I 
started  running.  I  ran  up  to  the 
ticket  agent  and  asked  about  my 
flight  and  he  said,  "You  just 
missed  it.  It  took  off  about  three 
minutes  ago." 

By  this  time,  all  my  patience 
had  been  drained  from  me.  All  I 
could  do  was  sit  down,  compose 


myself,  and  think  what  I'd  do 
next.  After  inquiring  about  other 
flights.  I  was  fortunate  enough  to 
get  aboard  a  plane,  which  had 
been  delayed  for  mechanical 
failures,  and  left  Atlanta  airport 
at  8:45  p.m. 

Has  your  patience  ever  been 
tried  to  the  point  of  breaking? 

This  past  summer  I  had  an 
experience  with  a  close  friend 
which  later  helped  me  realize  how 
patient  God  is  with  us.  During 
this  experience,  I  had  started 
doubting  the  Lord  and  all  He 
represented.  The  reason  for  this 
doubt  was  the  lack  of  communica- 
tion, confidence,  and  trust  which  I 
once  had  in  the  Lord.  I  had 
forgotten  what  God's  character 
was  like. 

Exodus  34:6  tells  what  some  of 
the  qualities  are  within  His  char- 
acter-merciful, gracious,  patient. 
1  realized  then  how  patient  and 


forgiving  Christ  is  when  we  put 
our  wants  and  desires  first  in- 
stead of  His.  1  realized  also,  that 
the  reason  for  the  whole  experi- 
ence came  from  the  simple  fact 
that  I  didn't  place  the  Lord  first. 

After  asking  for  His  forgive- 
ness. His  patience,  and  His  help, 
I  slowly  regained  my  communica- 
tion, confidence,  and  trust  in  the 
Lord.  He  and  I  are  growing  to- 
gether in  a  most  unique  friend- 
ship. 

In  Colossians  3:12  there  is  an 
admonition  given  to  us.  We  must 
all  learn  to  be  more  patient,  com- 
passionate, kind,  and  forgiving 
one  to  another.  Just  as  Christ  is 
with  us.  so  we  should  be  with 
bthers. 

I  just  praise  the  Lord  for  pa- 
tiently waiting  and  holding  our 
connecting  flight  until  we've  got- 
ten aboard  safely.

SMC's  Nicest  Nuisance 


Dogs  have  the  reputation  of  being  man's  best  friend.    The 
around  SMC  are  no  exception.   I  mean,  they  are  so  lovablel 

The  favorite  hangout  of  our  K-9  friends  just  happens  to  be  thil 
favorite  spot  of  most  of  the  residents  of  the  college  -  the  CK. 

It  is  said  that  when  you  feed  a  dog  he  will  always  come  back.  ThiJ 
goes  for  more  than  one  dog.  and  so  they  all  come  back.  Asa  matter  ol| 
fact,  they  didn't  even  leave. 

If  you  see  the  poor  lovable  vagabonds,  you  can't  help  but  want  to| 
contribute  to  the  habit  of  dogs  and  man  alike  -  eating.   You  know  yc 
sliouldn't.  but  you  say  to  yourself.  "Self,  just  this  once  won't  hurt...  . 

Did  you  know  that  there  is  more  than  one  way  of  publicly  feedinj 
dogs?  You  can  drop  food  in  your  lap  (accidentty),  and  rake  it  off  onlol 
the  groundD  you  can  just  sort  of  fling  an  onion  ring  or  a  fry  with  ease,| 
fairiy  unnoticed,  during  the  course  of  a  fast-moving  conversation  will 
friends.  Or  you  can  toss  a  half  of  a  master  burger,  arched  in  the  air  a 
everyone  is  sure  to  notice  your  generosity,  and  see  what  a  "gooj. 
humanitarian"  you  are.  as  all  the  gratified  dogs  lick  the  smile  on  theiil 
chops  in  agreement. 

Yes,  there  is  just  something  about  a  stray  dog  (alas,  who  ha] 
changed  by  degrees  from  being  famished,  starving,  and  hungry  u 
content),  and  knowing  that  you  did  your  part.     Furthermore, 
provide  lodging  and  recreation  for  these  dogs  in  our  dorms  and  on 
porches. 

While  on  mv  mail  route  I  happened  to  see  the  dog  catcher.   Y 
The  dog  catcheri    All  the  dogs  without  tags  (or  most  of  them)  wej 
picked  up,  and  the  population  has  greatly  declined. 

You  know,  I  kind  of  miss  SMC's  nicest  nusiance.

P^^alm  0(  Jfoff^eU 


Praise  Godl 

Who  through  His  Spmt  and  my  faith  in  Him 
produces  a  new  life  in  my  soul  and 
creates  my  heart  and  mind  anew 

That  I  may  attain  perfection  of  character. 

I  shall  sing  a  praise  to  Him 

because  my  new  heart  is  glad 
And  is  in 

the  image  of  God. 

1  am  delivered  from 

the  selfishness  of  Satan  and 

the  sneakiness  of  his  tempting  devices 

As  long  as  I  constantly  look  to  Jesus; 
I  shall  be  strengthened. 

The  walls  of 

doubt, 

timidity, 

self-centeredness,  and 

non-understanding 
Had  once  boxed  me  in 

and  I  longed  to  be  let  out. 

So  God  reached  out 

for  my  hand  in  faith 
To  lead  it 

to  lay  a  fast  hold  upon  His  power. 

And  as  long  as 

I  am  united  to  Him. 
Sin  will  have 

no  more  dominion  over  me. 

So  I  will 

continually  grasp 

the  power  of  God 

through  faith  and 
constantly  look  to  Jesus, 
And  1  will  be  strengthened 

knowing  the  promises  and  provisions 
of  God 

are  sure.

This  year  the  CABL  track  club 
promises  to  be  fun.  Van  Boddy, 
one  of  the  leaders  of  the  organiza- 
tion, runs  approximately  15  miles 
a  day.  As  a  personal  goal,  Van 
would  like  to  make  the  '80  Olym- 
pic team. 

Boddy  says,  "The  big  thing  now 
is  fun-running."  Fun-running  is 
non-competitive  in  nature,  "It's 
more  of  a  social  event.  The 
runners  are  encouraged  to  talk  to 
one  another  or  to  sing."  This 
makes  for  a  more  enjoyable  time 
without  the  pressure  of  racing 
against  the  clock.  There  are  no 
awards,  no  clocks,  and  no  losers. 
The  emphasis  will  be  on  main- 
taining health.  Boddy  says,  but 
there  are  competitive  events  such 
as  the  all-comers  meet  held  every 
Thursday  at  the  Tyner  High 
School,     He  would  also  like  to 


sponsor    a    Marathon    at    SMC I 
which  would  be  the  first  one  of  its  I 
kind  in  the  Southeast.    (A  Mai 
thon  is  26  miles,  385  yards). 

Seminars  will  be  held  in  nearby  I 
academies   on   weekends, 
emphasis  will  be  placed  on 
live  motivation.    Boddy  plans  lo  I 
sponsor  a  run   Sunday  morning  I 
(The  SMC  Steeplechase)  with  a 
wards,  such  as  T-shirts  or  rib 
bons,  to  the  top  finishers. 

There  will  also  be  seminars  oil 
campus  with  guest  speakers  liktl 
Dr.  Kenneth  Cooper,  author  of  jl 
book  on  aerobics  for  womenll 
Other  speakers  will  give  advietl 
such  as  care  for  the  feet,  howt 
avoid  muscle  strain,  and  startinjl 
your  jogging  program. 

Join  the  CABL  track  club  i 
have  fun  running. 


What  Is  Trust? 


"Commit  your  way  to  the  Lord, 
Trust  also  in  Him.  and  He  will  do  it."   Psalms  37:5  NASB 

Trust. ..what  is  it.  and  what  is  its  relationship  to  commitment? 
Trust  --  like  love  and  commitment  --  has  several  aspects  also. 

Trust  is  dependency.  It  means  to  rest  on  someone  or  something  that 
is  solid.  If  a  foundation  is  composed  of  purest  diamond,  then  it  will 
stand  the  test  of  the  ages.  Dependency  on  God  provides  more  security 
than  diamond.   Total  dependence  on  God  is  to  be  really  free. 

Trust  is  acceptance,  receiving  God's  will  in  place  of  ours.  When  we 
accept  the  will  of  God,  our  daily  life  becomes  the  simple  outworking  of 
His  will  for  us.  His  plans  become  our  plans  as  we  live  His  life  in  place 


of  c 


r  life. 


Trust  is  self-dying.  To  die  of  self  is  to  live  life  to  its  fullest,  for  self 
bogs  down  the  mechanism  of  growth.  Only  in  dying  is  there  living;  as 
it  is  in  the  natural  world,  so  it  is  in  the  spiritual  realm. 

The  seed  planted  in  the  loam  soil  must  disintegrate.  When  it  does, 
the  electrical  currents  of  life  flood  it  with  vin  (a-  in  -  im  and  vigor),  and 
it  grows  because  it  has  ceased  to  live.  As  the  process  of  dying  brings 
the  metamorphosis  to  the  seed,  so  rwe  allow  the  Holy  Spirit  to  renew 
us,  we  die  to  self,  and  the  image  of  God  is  gradually  retraced  in  the 
human  soul  by  the  omnipotent  power  of  creation. 

Trust  is  giving--to  shar-what  one  has.  When  the  element  of  giving 
takes  the  wheel  of  life,  the  course  is  certair  Sinci  "heaven  is  a 
ceaseless  approaching  to  God  through  Christ  "  it  n"jst  begin  here, 
because  the  essence  of  giving  is  the  composition  of  heaven.  Heaven 
P  was  given  in  the  Gift  of  Bethlehem.  To  live  in  a  state  of  giving  is  to  live 
in  the  atmosphere  of  heaven. 

Trust  is  the  gateway  to  loving.  There  is  no  greater  word  than  love.' 
It  embraces  the  corridors  of  time.  Us  voice  of  melody  is  heard  down  the 
hallway  of  etemity. 

As  light  is  constant,  so  is  love.  Love  rings  from  the  eternity  of 
yesterday  to  the  eternity  of  tomorrow  in  chimes  of  crystal  tones  that 
pulsate  from  the  heart  of  God.  As  love  is  eternal,  so  are  commitment 
and  trust. 

When  we  commit  ourselves  to  Him  and  trust  Him  also,  we  begin  an 
adventure  of  true  freedom  that  grows  into  the  experience  of  love.  Love 
was  never  meant  to  be  an  argot  term;  it  was  meant  to  be  a  living 
application  of  the  power  of  God's  love  upon  the  human  heart. 

When  we  cease  to  be  bondslaves  of  this  dark  world  on  the  edge  of 
the  galaxy,  we  become  living  temples.Qf  light  that  will  never  grow  dim,. 
This  is  what  it  means  to  commit,  to  trust  in  the  Creator-Savion  of  the 
universe. 


The  first  round  of  the  Talge 
Hall  Tennis  Tournament  has  been 
posted  in  the  lobby.  The  players 
must  reserve  a  time  block  in  the 
gymnasium  before  the  deadline. 
If  the  deadlines  are  not  met,  a 
coin  flip  will  determine  the  win-  | 
ner.  This  is  necessary  to  maintain  t 
a  flow  of  activity.  I 

This  year  there  are  several  fa-  i 
vorites  to  take  the  championship 
round.  Last  year  Dean  Evans  lost 
in  the  last  round  to  Rod  Ward,  but 
is  a  sure  bet  to  place  very  high  . 
this  year.  Dean  Halversen  is 
another  threat  to  win.  Evans  and 
Halverson  are  in  first  and  second 
seed  positions.  Mike  Turrey, 
Rick  Smith,  and  Keith  Terrill  are 
seeded  third,  fourth,  and  fifth 
respectively.  The  point  to  re 
member  here  is  that  there  are 
many  new  players,  and  any  one  of 
them  may  be  able  to  upset  the 
top-seeded  players. 

Both  participants  are  asked  to 
buy  a  new  can  of  tennis  bails. 
One  can  will  be  opened  for  use  in 
the  match.  The  winner  will  take 
the  unopened  can  to  the  next 
match.  The  players  will  ulti- 
mately buy  only  one  can  as  long 
as  they  keep  winning.  The  losers 
will  buy  another  set  for  the  con- 
solation tournament.  (Please  buy 
Wilson  or  Penn  brand).  The  rules 
posted  with  the  pairings.

Part  Two 


The  Road: 

What's  Taking  So  Long? 


□Dennis  Canther 

Telephone  lines,  dynamite, 
chuck  holes,  detours,  money  -- 
City  Manager  Lee  Holland  said, 
"if  you  have  any  questions,  or 
complaints,  just  pick  up  the 
phone  and  call  me.  I'll  talk  to 
anybody,  because  I'm  anxious  to 
please." 

In  response  to  the  detour  chuck 
hole  issue,  Holland  replied,  "the 
CoUegedale  city  limits  end  on  the 
detour  to  the  north  where  it  be- 
comes a  rough  road. 

1  have  no  jurisdiction  over  the 
county  road,  so  the  chuck  holes 
are  the    county's  responsibility. 


Any  rough  spots  orr  this  side  of 
the  county's  road  will  be  Fixed^ 
but  only  after  road  construction  is 
finished.  No  sense  doing  a  major 
repaying  job  on  the  detour  road 
until  we  get  most  of  our  traffic 
back  on  the  main  road." 

Another  subject  under  discus- 
sion is  the  utility  moving  situa- 
tion. Holland  explained  that 
there  were  several  utility  lines  up 
on  the  mountain,  including  water, 
gas,  electric  overland,  local  Col- 
legedale  telephone  lines,  and 
South  Central  Bell's  long  line  -  a 
large  cable  consisting  of  3,500 
long  distance  lines  and  six  TV 
cables.     This  large  cable  is  the 


main  trunk  line  between  Chat- 
tanooga and  Knoxville. 

As  a  result  of  long  negotiations, 
the  utility  companies  have  fin- 
ished moving  all  utilities  off  the 
mountain.  This  cost  the  utility 
companies  far  more  than  Col 
legedale  is  paying  to  build  the 
road. 

Holland  said  the  payment  to 
Brown  Brothers  Construction 
Company  of  Chattanooga  for  the 
last  of  the  three  phases  of  con 
struction  work  before  Hamilton 
County  paves  the  road  was  $336

Career  Days  To  Meet  In  Separate  Chapels 


ORich  Ashlock 

Elder  E.S.  Reile,  president  of 
the  Carolina  Conference,  will 
open  career  days  Sept.  27  with  a 
chapel  on  career  opportunities 
within  the  SDA  organization. 

Dr.  Cyril  Futcher,  academic 
dean,  hopes  this  meeting  will 
stimulate  students  to  think  about 
questions  they  have  about  the 
^pe  of  work  they  plan  to  enter. 

The  purpose  of  career  days, 
said  Dr.  Futcher,  is  to  make  the 
students  aware  of  job  openings 
in  the  Adventist  worldwide  work 
and  what  future  needs  there,  will 
be. 

Then,  visitors  from  various  oc- 
cupations will  conduct  several 
small  chapels  Thursday,  Sept.  29, 
and  talk  to  students  interested  in 
their  line  of  work. 

Even  if  a  student  is  not  inter- 
ested in  working  for  the  church, 
these  professionals  will  answer 
any  questions  relating  to  their 
field  in  nondenominational  work.

Reaccredited  By  NCATE 


DBill  Marcom 

SMC  will  continue  to  be  the 
birth  place  of  new  teachers  for  at 
least  the  next  ten  years,  said 
President  Frank  Knittel  to  the 
faculty  and  student  body  last 
week. 

Reaccreditation  of  SMC's  ele- 
mentary and  secondary  teacher 
education  programs  was  granted 
by  the  National  Council  for  the 
Accreditation  of  Teacher  Educa- 
tion (NCATE). 


SMC  is  one  of  only  three  other 
liberal  arts  colleges  in  Tennessee 
to  receive  this  accreditation.  Dr. 
Cyril  Futcher,  academic  dean,  co- 
ordinated the  18-month  analysis 
which  brought  NCATE's  accep- 
tance of  the  teacher-training  pro- 
Accreditation,  said  Dr.  K.M. 
Kennedy,  professor  of  education, 
provides  reciprocity  for  certifica- 
tion in  31  sUtes  for  education 
graduates. 


If  a  student's  major  is  not  listed 
below  as  a  chapel,  the  student 
should  attend  the  one  most  relat- 
ed to  his/her  field.  An  example 
of  this  is  Art.  There  is  no  special 
chapel  specifically  for  art  majors, 
but  many  art  majors  go  into 
teaching;  therefore,  attend  the 
education  chapel. 

This  will  be  a  required  chapel 
and  attendance  will  be  taken.

2  -  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  Thimdmy,  September  22,  1977 


Excused 
Absence 
Policy 
Up  For 
Changes 

GDonnie  Keele 

The  policy  for  excused  absence 
for  illness  was  discussed   at   a 


According  to  President  Frank 
Knittel.  the  Division  of  Nursing 
requests  a  variance  on  the  policy, 
which  would  once  again  require 
the  student  to  obtain  a  written 
excuse  from  the  Health  Service  or 
their  personal  physician  in  order 
to  have  the  absence  excused. 

During  last  year,  the  policy  was 
changed  from  requiring  a  docu- 
ment to  that  of  a  student-to-teach- 
er transaction,  thus  eliminating 
the  middle  man. 


The  reasons  for  the  change 
requested  by  the  Division  of 
Nursing  are  listed  in  the  request 
form  submitted  to  the  senate 
council  by  the  Division. 

l.The  present  nursing  curriculum 
has  reduced  lab  experiences  to 
the  essentials.  In  effect,  no  labs 
can  be  omitted. 

2. Division  of  Nursing  is  obligated 
to  provide  makeup  experiences 
for  excused  lab  misses.

3. Makeup  labs  often  have  to  be 
unscheduled  labs,  thus  throwing 
an  overload  on  the  clinical  in- 
structor. 

4.Unexcused  labs  do  not  impose

5. Since  the  policy  of  Health  Ser- 
vice of  not  giving  health  excuses, 
the  absences  for  reported  ill- 
nesses have  markedly  increased,

Nursing.-

yet,  but  will  be  on  the  agenda  in 
the  next 'senate  meeting. 


Nicaragua  AA.  Stronger  Than  Ever 


DRoland  Joy 

Thi  Nicaragua  Mission  is  grow- 
ing strong  according  to  Dr.  Floyd 
Greenleaf.  head  of  the  history 
department. 

Dr.  Greenleaf  has  been  the 
missions  sponsor  for  the  past  year 
along  with  his  co-sponsor  John 
Durichek  from  the  industrial  arts 
department. 


The  mission  began  in  1971  with 
nine  students  and  faculty  from 
Southern  Missionary  College. 
Today  there  are  six  people  work- 
ing as  missionaries  there. 

Richard  Longoria  is  the  mission 
project  director,  with  his  wife, 
Vickie,  acting  as  clinic  supervisor. 
Jennie  Kay  Gallay,  Jamie  Newlon 
and  Thea  Thomas,  all  graduates 
from  SMC.  are  nurses.  Also 
serving  as  a  missionary  is  Bob 
Hirschi,  maintenance  and  vehicle 
repair  man.

explained  that 
ving  five  Indian 
villages,  three  of  which  have 
medical  clinics  of  their  own.   The 


other  two  are  attended  by  medical 
mobile  units. 

Besides  all  the  medical  atten-

Arrow  Off 
Prophecy 
In  Cohutta 

DMike  Ringstaff 

The  Arrow  of  Prophecy  Cru- 
sade with  evangelist  Dwight 
Davis  began  last  week  in  Cohutta. 
Ga..  a  town  located  15  miles 
southeast  of  SMC. 

The  crusade,  which  will  be  held 
in  a  tent,  will  meet  each  evening 
at  7:30.  with  the  exception  of 
Wednesdays  and  Thursdays,  un- 
til Oct.  22.  Transportation  will  be 
provided  for  students  and  will 
leave  each  evening  at  7  from 
Wright  Hall. 

The  crusade  is  a  result  of  nearly 
two  years  of  lay  visitation  by  the 
members  of  the  Api^on  Church. 

Elder  Dwight  Davis,  a  Ga- 
Cumberland  Conference  evangel- 
ist, was  an  SMC  student  during 


religion  as  well.  Four  years  ago 
the  staff  built  a  church  which 
seats  175  people. 

The  hope  of  all  who  are  en- 
gaged in  the  work  is  that  in  time  it 
will  grow  and  become  a  regular 
part  of  the  overseas  mission  work 
of  the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
church.

Doctors  Top  Most-Needed 
Overseas  AAissionary  List 


I 


WASHINGTON  D.C.  ■-  Physi- 
cians liead  the  list  of  kinds  of 
missionaries  most  wanted  in  over- 
seas missions  of  the  Seventh-day 
Adventist  Church,  according  to 
the  September  "Status  of  Calls" 
just  released  by  the  church's 
world  headquaters  here. 


With  193  mission  posts  current- 
ly open,  physicians  and  dentists 
in  demand  number  72.  Nurses, 
which  in  years  past  have  been  one 
of  the  chief  needs  in  overseas 
missions,  are  wanted  for  just  one 
third  that  number  of  posts  -  24, 
with  a  few  lab  technicians  includ- 
ed even  in  this  figure. 

Teachers  wanted  for  schools 
overseas  number  35.  Subject 
specialties  for  these  teachers 
range  all  the  way  from  graphic 
arts  teachers  to  Bible  and  math 
teachers  and  agronomists. 

Two  airplane  pilots  are  called 
for.  The  church  has  some  50 
planes  in  operation  where  space 
and  terrain  make  other  types  of 
travel  either  hazardous  or  imprac- 
tical. It  also  uses  launches,  and 
one  call  is  for  a  launch  captain/ 


pastor. 

Calls  for  19  pastor-evangelists 
are  listed. 

"Nationals  are  able  to  perform 
many  of  the  functions  they  once 
looked  to  'foreign'  missionaries  to 
do,"  explains  Dr.  Clyde  0.  Franz, 
secretary  of  the  General  Confer- 
ence of  Seventh-day  Adventists. 
"The  vigorous  educational  pro- 
gram of  the  church  has  made  this 
possible." 


The  trena  lowara  specialization 
and  away  from  simply  sending  a 
minister  overseas  is  also  an  indi- 


cation of  the  development  of  the 
church  abroad. 

"We  no  longer  call  simply  'a 
teacher'  or  'a  physician,'  "  says 
Dr.  Franz.  "Rather  we  stipulate 
what  specialty  the  teacher  or  phy- 
sician must  have,  for  both  schools 
and  medical  institutions  must  be 
acceptable  to  governments."

McKee  Library  has  installed  a 
computer  terminal  that  joins  it 
through  the  Southeastern  Library 
Network  (SOLINET)  to  other  li- 
braries having  similar  terminals. 
SOLINET  in  turn  is  affiliated  with 
the  Ohio  College  Library  Center, 
the  founder  of  the  system. 

McKee  Library  has  been  a 
charter  member  of  SOLINET 
since  the  system  began,  but  be- 
cause of  the  cost  involved,  was 
unable  to  get  a  terminal  until 
receiving  a  grant  from  the  Kellog 
Foundation  for  a  two-year  period. 

The  system  will  eventually 
have  six  operational  subsystems 


with  different  functions.  At  the 
moment  there  is  only  one  sub- 
system in  operation,  which  is  for 
cataloging  and  standardizing  the 
data  on  the  catalog  cards  in  a 
more  efficient  manner.  When  the 
library  receives  a  new  book,  it  is 
cataloged  and  ready  for  use  as 
much  as  a  month  sooner  than 
otherwise.  This  also  makes  the 
catalog  data  available  to  all  the 
other  libraries  on  the  network. 

When  the  other  subsystems  be- 
come operational,  it  will  be  pos- 
sible to  attain  books  and  material 
from  other  libraries  on  a  loan 
basis  through  the  network.

from  Webster's  New  World  Dictionary. 

Out  of  nine  precincts  in  the  women's  dorm,  only  four  had 
candidates  running.  The  other  five  had  to  be  ippointed  by  Ken 
Rogers,  SA  president.  Of  course,  women  are  not  so  politically- 
minded;  they're  more  of  a  naive  bunch.    One  wouldn't  expect 

Or  is  this  true?  Maybe  it's  not  the  women's  fault,  but  the 
student  leadership's  fault.  Is  the  Student  Association  doing  its 
job?  What's  the  purpose  of  a  student  government  anyway? 

SMC's  student  government  isn't  as  illustrious  as  those  on 
other  campuses,  but  yet  it  still  serves  a  function.  For  instance. 
The  Southern  Accent  is  brought  to  you  by  the  SA.  This  goes  for 
The  Joker,  and  The  Southern  Memories,  too.  But  couldn't  these 
publications  stand  without  the  help  of  a  student  government? 

Then  there's  the  social  activities  and  the  SA  once-a-month 
chapels.  Could  these  things  be  accomplished  without  the  support 
of  a  student  government? 

The  Student  Senate  -  what  does  it  accomplish?  Piles  of 
paperwork,  befuddled  by  red  tape,  bogged  down  in  its  constitu- 
tion.  What  of  it?   Does  it  really  discuss  pertinent  issues? 

If  so,  then  why  no  interest  ?  Why  the  deadness,  the  dullness? 
We,  the  editors,  know  why.  Our  students  are  satisfied. 
Yes,  there  are  a  few  gripes,  but  no  really  earthshaking  opinions  -- 
either  for  the  good  or  bad.  We  enjoy  being  fed  and  hate  to  cough 
up  anything  resembling  participation.

Letters  To  The  Editor 


Living  With  The  Dress  Code 


Dear  Editor: 

During  the  summer  certain  regulations  in 
our  dress  code  were  relaxed,  allowing  the 
women  on  our  campus  to  wear  pants.  I  want  to 
thank  the  members  on  the  board  responsible  for 
this  progressive  decision.  I  also  want  to  thank 
the  ladies  for  looking  so  nice  this  school  year, 
and  holding  to  the  code. 

At  first  when  I  found  men  were  not  allowed 
to  wear  blue  jeans  --  well,  to  say  the  least,  the 
revolution  was  ready  to  go,  and  protest  speech- 
es were  fired  up.  When  rationale  again  began 
to  take  over  in  my  mind,  I  began  to  realize  what 
was  really  taking  place.  Our  school  and  our 
church  don't  always  do  things  right,  I'll  admit 
that.  Part  of  the  reason  for  my  attitude  in  days 
past  was  due  to  this  reason. 

But  in  all  truthfulness  there  are  people  in 


our  school  who  are  concerned  about  the  mes- 
sage God  has  entrusted  us  with,  and  they  are 
also  concerned  with  us.  Let's  not  place  our 
school  in  danger  of  unwanted  government 
interference.  Please,  I  appeal  to  the  student 
body  —  whether  we  agree  with  the  code  or  not  - 
let's  uphold  it  while  we  must  live  under  its 
authority.  Let's  not  have  a  bad  attitude,  for  1 
have  discovered  if  your  attitude  is  bad,  every- 
thing will  look  bad. 

One  more  thing  in  closing.  If  you  are 
uncomfortable  with  the  regulations,  first  and 
foremost  your  voice  will  be  most  listened  to  if 
you  support  the  regulations  while  you  are' 
working  through  the  proper  channels  to  change 
it.  Romans  13:1

Discriminatory 
Dress  Code 

Dear  Editor, 


Since  a  new  dress  code  has  been  approved  — 
one  which  claims  to  observe  TITLE  IX,  I  wonder 
if  the  statement  in  the  current  SMC  Student 
Handbook  {p.  15)  which  says.  "Hair.. ..must  not 
reach  below  the  top  of  the  collar  in  the  back 
(while  standing)  or  below  the  bottom  of  the  ears 
on  the  sides  "  will  be  omitted.  I'm  sure  that  the 
college  would  not  want  to  be  inconsistent  in  its 
attempts  to  avoid  sex  discrimination. 

Sincerely.

mal,  the  administration  asked 


Ed.  Note: 
Dear  Rhonda: 


that  they  be  taken  down. 

Word  goes  too,  that  you,  the  editor  of  the 
only  publication  the  student  body  has,  refused 
to  print  the  picture  in  the  past  issue  of  The 
Southern  Accent. 

I  would  be  the  first  to  admit  that  inter-racial 
relationships  in  this  region  are  not  smiled  upon 
by  the  general  pubKc,  but  I  would  also  be  the 
first  to  contend  that  until  we  as  Seventh-day 
Adventists  find  legitimate  biblical  evidence  to 
condemn  inter-racial  marriage,  it  is  not  our 
privilege  to  indiscriminately  discriminate  a- 
gainst  our  brothers  and  sisters  in  the  church,  or 
against  anyone. 

Sincerely  yours, 
Rhonda  Runyan 


We  understand  exactly  how  you  feel.  We 
did  not  print  the  photo  because  of  the  distur- 
bance some  of  the  posters  had  already  caused. 
We  do  not  consider  ourselves  bigots  or  preju- 
diced. The  Taylor  concert  was  a  sensation,  and 
The  Accent  apologizes  for  any  misunderstand- 
ing. 


Administrative 
Non-Support 


Dear  Editor: 

I've  been  brooding  over  what  appears  to  be  a 
lack  of  official  support  of  the  Taylor  concert. 
Much  enthusiasm  was  shown  during  and  after 
their  very  inspirational  SA  chapel.  More  than 
one  student  found  it  very  moving  -  very  close  to 
worship.  Yet  the  7:30  concert  was  not  counted 
as  legitimate  worship. 

If  all  musical  concerts  were  treated  this  way,  no 
question  would  be  raised.  But  why,  then,  was 
last  year's  Hale  &  Wilder  concert  an  '  official 
worship?  Was  the  Taylor  concert  less  worship- 
ful? Not  that  I  could  see. 
I  would  be  interested  in  hearing  why  our 
administration  gave  support  to  the  Taylors  - 
but  not  too  much.

Grange 
As  Food 
Director 


□  Dawn  Rice 

SMC  gained  a  valuable  staff 
member  this  past  July  when  Earl 
Evans,  replacing  Ron  Grange  who 
left  to  serve  at  PUC,  began  work 
as  food  service  director. 

Evans  moved  to  Collegedale 
from  Union  College,  Lincoln, 
Nebraska,  where  he  worked  as 
food  service  director  for  four 
years.  Here  in  Collegedale  with 
Evans  is  his  wife,  Joanne,  and 
five  children,  Pattricia,  Jeffrey, 
Jerald,  Terry  and  Todd. 

Before  working  at  Union  Col- 
lege, Evans  was  with  the  An- 
drews University  food  service 
department.  He  spent  four  years 
at  Andrews  University,  where  he 
received  his  B.S.  degree  in  foods 
and  nutrition.  He  has  "O  done 
work  on  his  master's  o.  'e  at 
the  University  of  Nebraska. 

Evan's  hobbies  include  water 
sports,  baseball,  football  and 
backpacking.  Evans  also  is  a 
lover  of  music;  he  says  he  "blows 
the  dust  out  of  the  saxaphone 
once  in  awhile." 

Evans- goal  for  the  cafeteria  is 
to  "serve  wholesome,  nutritious 
foods  at  the  best  price,"  and  to 
work  on  our  having  the  "lowest 
food  prices  in  comparison  to  our 
sister  institutions."  Evans 
doesn't  have  any  plans  to  go  to 
the  flat  rate  price  system.  He  has 
worked  with  both  the  price  per 
item  system  and  the  flat  rate 
system  and  says  that  "they're 
about  equal"  as  far  as  economic 
feasibility  was  concerned. 

Everyone  knows  how  it  seems

More  Like  Jesus 


Arranged  as  poetry  from  the  book  Desire  of  Ages 

Jesus  was  the  fountain  of  healing  mercy  for  the  world; 

His  life  flowed  out  in  currents  of  sympathy  and  tenderness.

the  sorrowing,

the  patient  beasts  of  burden,

nothing  was  beneath  His  notice, 
nothing  to  which  He  disdained  to  minister. 

Jesus  shunned  display. 

He  made  no  exhibition  of  His  miraculous  power. 
He  sought  no  high  position  and  assumed  no  titles.

that  "most  snack  shop  prices 
bound  to  be  higher.  It's  the  price 
you  pay  for  convenience." 

One  of  the  changes  Evans  has 
in  mind  for  the  cafeteria  is 
(HURRAH)  a  frozen  yogurt  or 


than  the  sweets." 

The  new  menu  cycle  has  al- 
ready begun,  as  most  have  no-

Evans  will  have  a  seasonal 
change  for  each  set  of  menus.

Weight 
Lifting 
PiciuUp 
At  SMC 


Here  at  SMC  there  is  a  sport 
that  seems  to  interest  quite  a  few 
of  the  guys  --  weight  lifting. 

Weight  lifting  can  be  used  tor 
several  different  reasons.  It  can 
be  used  to  cut  down  or  build  up. 
Some  people  use  it  to  help  them 
in  different  sports.  If  used  pro- 
perly, weight  lifting  helps  a  per- 
son's speed,  strength,  coordina- 
tion, and  cardiovascular  return. 

If  used  in  the  correct  manner,  it 
is  very  uncommon  for  a  person  to 
become  muscle  bound.  But  even 
then,  there  is  equipment  (Nauti- 
lus) which  stretches  and  prestret- 
ches  the  muscles  and  gets  a  bet 
ter  pump  (which  means  a  person 
gets  more  blood  m  the  muscle

area)  because  it  isolates  on  cer- 
tain muscles.  This  equipment 
makes  it  possible  for  a  person  to 
work  on  any  muscle  group  at  a 
time.  The  advantage  is  you  can 
work  just  one  area  to  whatever 
degree  .you  wish. 

Weight  lifting  is  a  sport  with 
two  general  categories.  Olympic 
lifting  consists  of  clean  and  jerk 
and  snatch.  It  used  to  include 
press  but  it  was  dropped  Power 
lifting  consists  of  bench  press 
dead  lift    and  squat     There  are

rules  to  the  different  lifts.  There 
are  also  different  lifts  which  are 
used  in  competition,  but  power 
lifting  and  Olympic  lifting  are  the 
most  common.

The  Softball  season  has  gotten 
more  interesting  as  Hunt  won 
twice,  beating  Runnells  14-6  and 
Minder  16-11.  Mobley  moved 
into  second  place  by  splitting  a 
pair.  Mobley  beat  Martling  15-13 
in  a  slugfest,  but  lost  to  White- 
head 17-14.  Minder  and  Wohlers 
are  deadlocked  in  third  place  with 
3-3  records.  Runnells  won  one 
and  lost  two  and  Whitehead  won 
one  and  lost  one  to  tie  for  the  fifth 
spot.  Webster  and  Hickman  are 
seventh  and  eighth,  respectively. 
The  big  disappointment  is  Mart- 
ling who  dropped  to  the  cellar  by 
losing  three  games  consecutively. 


The  Tennis  tournament  has 
gotten  off  to  a  soaring  start. 
There  were  seven  matches  played 
as  of  Sunday,  Sept.  18.  Jim 
Wampler  beat  Brad  Pryor  and  is 
scheduled  to  play  Clinton 
Meharry  who  won  over  Mark 
Scheifer.  John  Ellsworth  lost  to 
Joe  Bruce  and  Randy  Runnells 
was  defeated  by  Keith  Terrill  as 
the  four  won  their  qualification 
round  matches.  Mike  Crawford 
won  over  Bruce  Woiping,  Artie 
Cisneros  beat  Jim  Greve,  and 
Walter  Cliet   defeated    Barry 


Mann  as  the  winners  advanced  to 
Round  one. 

This  is  a  reminder  for  the  play, 
ers  to  meet  the  deadline  for  the 
qualification  round.  A  coin  flip 
will  decide  the  winner  if  the 
match  is  not  played  by  Tuesday 
Sept.  20.  '■ 

There  are  four  players  who  | 
have  a  good  shot  at  the  trophy: 
Halverson,  Evans,  Tuuri,  and 
Smith.  They  have  received  byes 
to  round  three  which  means  they  1 
must  win  three  games  to  clincli  | 
the  championship.

Amin  Bans  Adventists  In  Uganda 


NAIROBI.  Kenya  (UPI)  -  Idi 
Amin's  regime  banned  27  reJig- 
ious  groups  --  including  the  Bap- 
tist Mission,  the  Salvation  Army 
and  the  Seventh-day  Adventists-i 
for  activities  "not  conducive  to 
the  security  of  Uganda." 

A  Radio  Kampala  broadcast 
monitored  in  Nairobi  listed  27 
organizations  with  facilities  in 
Uganda,  and  all  but  one  of  them, 
the  Israel-based  Bahai  faith,  are 
Christian. 

The  radio  said  that  "recog- 
nized" religions  would  be  allowed 
to  continue  to  operate  in  Uganda. 

They  were  given  as  the  Church 
of  Uganda  (Episcopal- Anglican), 
the  Islamic  faith,  the  Roman 
Catholic  church  and  the  Uganda 
Orthodox  church,  which  has  ties 
to  the  Greek  Orthodox  religion. 

The  radio  quoted  a  spokesman 
for  the  Internal  Affairs  Ministry 
as  saying  thatUganda  juaranteed 
freedom  of  worship,   but  noted 

.  that  it  applied  only  to  the  recog- 

[  nized  religions. 

_  "It  has  beerr  observed  that  the 
I  activities  of  organizations  which 
r  have  been  tolerated  in  the  past 
'  are  not  conducive  to  the  security 
[  of  Uganda,"  the  broadcast  said. 

"The  following  religions  are 
I  banned  with  immediate  effect."  it 
I  said,  and  went  on  to  list  them. 

In  addition  to  their  religious 
■  activities,  the     Seventh-day  Ad- 


ventists,  an  American-based 
group,  operates  a  missionary  col- 
lege and  a  hospital  in  Uganda. 

The  Salvation  Army  runs  a  hos- 
tel for  the  impoverished  and  dis- 
abled in  Kampala  and  a  babies' 
home  in  the  country. 

Maj.  Stella  Bywaters,  who  has 
been  with  the  Salvation  Army  in 
Uganda  since  1972.  said  in  a 
telephone  interview  she  had  re- 
ceived no  word  on  the  ban  from 
the  government  itself. 

Miss  Bywaters,  of  Victoria, 
Australia,  said,  "I  don't  think  we 
have  done  anything  against  the 
security  of  Uganda.  We  just  do 
social  and  religious  work." 

Parking 
Ticket  Fines 
Sfabilized 

DJim  Guy 

Dr.  Melvin  D.  Campbell,  dean 
of  student  affairs,  announced  a 
change  in  parking  ticket  fines. 

Instead  of  $2  for  the  first  of- 
fense and  $5  for  the  second,  all 
violations  will  result  in  a  $3  fine. 

This  change  was  brought  about 
because  of  the  paper  work  that 
had  to  be  done  in  the  sliding  scale 
system. 

The  effective  date  has  not  yet 
been  determined.

GC  Praises  ABC  For 
Television  "Soap"  Ban 


Washington,  D.C.  --  Communi- 
cation Department  leaders  of  the 
General  Conference  of  Seventh- 
day  Adventists  have  praised  the 
affiliate  stations  of  the  American 
Broadcasting  Company  which 
have  not  aired  the  new  comedy 
series  "Soap." 

Thirteen  ABC-affiliated  sta- 
tions in  10  states  were  reported 
not  to  have  broadcast  the  opening 
episode  of  "Soap."  "We  com- 
mend these  stations  for  their  good 
judgment  in  not  carrying  a  pro- 
gram that  makes  light  of  immor- 
ality," said  Communication  De- 


partment Director  M.  Carol  Het- 
zell.  She  criticized  the  show  for 
making  it  "of  little  consequence 
to  rush  from  bed  to  bed." 

Early  surveys  in  New  York,  Los 
Angeles,  and  Chicago  suggest 
that  "Soap"  did  very  well  in 
grabbing  a  large  audience  with  its 
debut.  Seventh-day  Adventist 
communication  leaders  feel  this 
indicates  the  American  public 
likes  humor,  but  stress  that  they 
believe  there  are  still  "an  awful 
lot  of  American  who  enjoy  'clean' 
humor."

Program

I  Shaw 


nunity  Fire  Depart- 
ment has  launched  a  new  pro- 
gram in  fire  prevention  in  the 
Collegedale  area.  Chief  Duane 
Pitts  said  that  Tri-Community 
was  not  interested  in  fire  sup- 
pression alone,  but  equally  con- 
cerned with  fire  prevention. 

The  program  will  involve  a  fire 
inspection  of  all  educational  facil- 
ities and  businesses  within  the 
Collegedale  City  limits.  At  the 
conclusion  of  each  inspection 
Chief  Pitts  will  present  to  the 
concerned  institution  a  report 
identifying  all  deficiencies  and 
fire  hazards.  Also  included  will 
be  recommendations  for  correc- 
tion of  these  deficiencies.

Dr.  Duane  Houck.  associate 
professor  of  biology  and  instruc- 
tor of  Genetics  and  Microbiology, 
has  published  an  article  in  the 
national  magazine.  The  American 
Journal  of  Botany. 

"Primary  Phloem  Regenera- 
tion Without  Concomitant  Xylem 
Regeneration:  Its  Hormone  Con- 
trol in  Coleus"  appeared  in  the 
August  issue,  co-authored  by 
Duane  F.  Houck  and  Clifford  E. 
LaMotte,  professor  of  botany  at 
Iowa  State  University.  The  article 
was  the  result  of  Houck's  doctoral 
studies  at  Iowa  State,  the  product 
of  several  years  of  research  and 
experiment.  A  portion  of  the 
research  was  done  right  here  in 
SMC's  laboratories. 


The  coleus  plant  was  used  as 
the  research  tool  to  study  the  re- 
generation of  isolated  phloem 
bundles  in  a  wounded  plant  with- 
out the  usual  concomitant  regen- 
eration of  the  xylem  tissue.  To 
conduct  this  experiment,  a  cut 
was  made  in  xylemless  vascular 
tissue,  and  the  extent  of  regener; 
ation  examined  after  seven  days. 


It  was  found  that  with  the  addi- 
tion of  proper  hormones  and 
acids,  phloem  regeneration  could 
be  restored  to  the  level  of  a 
normal  plant. 

These  experiments  were  done 
to  extend  the  knowledge  of  re- 
generation in  plants,  to  add  to  the 
basic  body  of  information  botan- 
ists have  about  plant  life  in  gen- 
eral. Dr.  Houck  states, "Wound 
regeneration  in  the  Coleus  is  an 
excellent  system  to  use  for  study- 
ing the  basic  biological  problem 
of  cell  differentiation"  (such  as 
between  xylem  and  phloem  cells). 

Dr.  Houck  said  he  discovered 
that  the  further  he  got  into  the 
research,  the  more  questions 
were  raised.  The  laws  that  oper- 
ate the  natural  world  are  very 
complex,  he  pointed  out.  Study  of 
these  laws  "gives  us  greater  ad- 
miration for  what  God  has  done  in 
nature." 


Dr.  Houck  remarked  that  he 
IS  indeed  glad  to  see  the  article 
lally  completed  and  in  print.

OCRA  Makes  Cohutta  Prime  Target 


DMykal  Ringstaff 

The  Off-Campus  Religious 
Activities  (OCRA).  an  outreach  of 
the  Campus  Ministries,  will  cen- 
ter its  prime  efforts  in  the  Cohutta 
area  this  year. 

Among  the  many  outreaches 
planned,  two  are  destined  to  be 
major  projects.  First,  there  will 
be  a  branch  Sabbath  School. 
Those  participating  meet  in  front 
of  Wright  Hall  at  8:30  a.m.  Sab- 


The  second  outreach  planned 
will  be  an  evangelistic  crusade  in. 
March  by  the  students  of  SMC. 
The  speakers  for  the  crusade  will 
be  students  invited  by  the  Minis- 
tries office.  They  will  be  an- 
nounced at  a  later  date. 

According  to  William  Cole, 
director  of  the  OCRA,  the  pur- 


pose of  off-campus  outreach  is  to 
meet  the  needs  of  non-Adventists 
in  the  surrounding  area.  "Amain 
function  of  the  off-campus  out- 
reach," states  Cole,  "is  to  pro- 
vide an  avenue  with  which  to  help 
others  grow  spiritually,  and  at  the 
same  time  provide  an  evangelistic 
spirit  among  the  students." 

In  urging  the  support  of  the 
students,  Cole  adds,_"The  activi- 


ties are  all  arranged  and  the  only 
thing  needed  to  put  them  in  oper- 
ation is  the  active  support  and 
participation  of  the  students." 

In  addition  to  the  projects  list- 
ed, the  OCRA  has  16  other  out- 
reaches. Some  of  these  include: 
the  Story  Hours,  Prison  Ministry, 
Leaves  of  Autumn,  CABL.  Bonnie 
Oaks,  and  Adopt-A-Grandparent.

New  Format  For  Senior  Placement  Brochure 


DJim  Guy 

Dr.  Melvin  Campbell,  dean  of 
student  affairs,  announced  a 
change  in  the  format  of  the  senior 
placement  booklet.  The  change  is 
from  a  4  X  8  inch  to  an  SVi  x  11 
inch  format. 

SMC  will  be  the  only  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  college  using  this 
new  format.  The  book  will  be 
indexed  and  contain  information 
such  as  degree,  choice  of  work, 
marital  status,  and  church  mem- 
bership, 

By  using  photo-ready  copy,  the 
publishing  date  can  be  advanced 
and  the  book  sent  out  before  the 
end  of  November.  Before,  the 
book  was  sent  in  January  or  Feb- 
ruary.   The  bigger  standard 


cuts  the  cost  in  half,  too,  so  more 
can  be  printed  and  distributed. 
All  this  will  give  the  SMC  gradu- 
ate a  better  chance  for  a  job, 
explained  Dr.  Campbell. 

SMC  Grads  Join 
Orlando  Hospital 

DBill  Marcom 

Three  SMC  graduates  have 
completed  medical  school  and 
have  joined  the  Florida  Adventist 
Hospital  in  Orlando  as  residents 
in  family  practice,  said  Ron  Scott, 
director  of  public  relations. 

The  doctors  are  Jorge  Flechas, 
Tom  McFarland,  and  Donald 
Lechler,  all  from  Orlando,  Fla.

Students 
Dig  Into 
History 


iZI  Dennis  Starkey 

Civil  War  conflicts  in  the  Chat- 
tanooga area,  terrorism.  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  involvement  in  po- 
litical issues  -  these  are  just  a  few 
of  the  interesting  topics  chosen 
for  study  by  the  five  students  of 
the  Research  Methods  in  History 
class  this  year. 

Each  student  is  required  to  turn 
in  an  original  piece  of  research  at 
the  end  of  the  semester.  They  are 
encouraged  to  use  primary  mater- 
ials in  their  research,  such  as 
actual  correspondence  of  those 
involved,  eyewitness  accounts, 
and  other  documentary  evidence, 
just  as  the  professional  historian 
does  in  preparing  a  textbook. 

Dr.  Floyd  Greenleaf,  professor 
of  history  and  instructor  of  the 
course,  explains  that  It  provides 
an  opportunity  for  the  students  to 
get  their  fingers  into  the  basic 
materials  of  history  and  to  better 
understand  the  processes  in- 
volved in  historical  research.

4  .  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  TlmiwUy,  September  29,  1977 

Letters  To  The  Editor 


Dear  Editor; 

1  enjoved  reading  your  "timely"  editorial  about 
clocks  oii  the  SMC  campus.  Your  obsen-ations 
about  their  correctness  concurs  with  my  observa- 

"""l^n  vour  editorial  vou  suggested  that  a  master 
clock  situation  would  be  a  solution  to  the  campus 
time  problem.  Let  me  point  out.  however  before 
the  administration  spends  thousands  of  dollars  on 
this  project,  that  the  clock  in  Miller  Hall,  wh.ch  you 
sav  is  ^  hours  and  35  minutes  slow,  is  on  the  campus 
Centrex  System.  This  system  has  never  worked 
properly  since  the  installation  of  these  clocks  and  .t 
is  impossible  to  set  the  clock  in  the  building. 

1  recenUy  discussed  this  with  Mr.  Robert  Mer- 
chant, who  said  that  the  farther  the  building  is  from 
the  master  clock  in  Wright  Hall,  the  less  accurate  it 
becomes.  In  fact,  the  clock  is  supposed  to  be 
self-setting;  however,  we  who  work  in  Miller  Hall 
have  found  that  this  never  really  happens  and, 
therefore,  have  learned  to  ignore  the  centrex  Master 
Cock.  .     ^  . 

Since  most  students  have  phones  in  their  rooms 
and  most  teachers  have  phones  in  their  office  and 
most  of  us  have  watches,  it  might  be  best  to  call  time 
each  morning  to  make  sure  that  we  all  are  near  to 
"Chattanooga  Time."  si„„„,j,  your,, 

Marvin  L.  Robertson,  Chairman 
Music  Department 


Dear  Editor: 

It  appears  that  the  Student  Center  has  evolved 
past  the  realm  of  simple  fun  and  games  into  the 
fantasy  land  of  the  mind  and  body  as  people  do  wh^t 
they  just  plain  feel  like  doing,  with  no  consideration 
for  the  misfortunate  ones  that  accidentally  wander 
into  the  "Parior"  (commonly  known  as  the  passion 

pit). 

Name  Withheld 


Pace 


Dear  Editor: 

I  glanced  at  my  watch  as  I  left  the  Ubrao-^ 
Ten  minutes  till  six.  I  had  just  enough  time  to  make 
it  through  the  Thatcher  annex  door  before  it  was 
ocked  Through  the  mud-trodden  hill  I  bounded. 
Down  the  makeshift  stairs  I  ran,  anxious  to  ge^*"  ^ 
room  and  collapse.  Pulling  on  the  door,  I  found  it  to 
be  already  locked.  Admittedly,  my  Timex  s 
someHmes  less  than  accurate  but  I  do  usual  y 
attempt  to  set  it  by  the  dorm  clocks  Someone  must 
have  been  a  bit  anxious  to  lock  the  door  on  this 

"""Mv'^s'pirits'dashed,  down  the  hUl  I  went.* 
Through  the  lobby  and  what  seemed  like  most  of  the 
dorm  through  the  connecting  darkened  and  some- 
times  flooded  walkway  and  at  last  up  the  stairs  to  my 
room,  1  had  just  enough  energy  left  to  throw  ■  my 
books  down  and  collapse  on  the  bed. 

1  consider  myself  as  willing  as  the  next  person  to 
"walk  the  extra  mile"  when  necessary.  But  I  fail  to 
see  the  necessity  of  locking  the  annex  door  at  six  and 
not  opening  it  at  all  on  Sabbath.  It's  particularly 
hard  on  those  of  us  who  have  to  park  our  cars  on  the 
hill  in  front  of  the  fcirsing  building  and/ or  Library, 
By  the  time  you  go  all  the  way  through  both  dorms 
and  up  the  hill  to  get  your  car,  you've  probably 


forgotten  where  you  wanted  to  go.  Had  the  door 
been  open,  the  car  is  most  likely  parked  only  a  few 
feet  away. 

I  don't  mean  to  sound  ungrateful.  1  appreciate 
the  new  annex  very  much.  However,  my  apprecia- 
tion would  intensify  if  the  door  was  left  open  just  a 
little  later  at  night. 

-  I'm  sure  our  safety  was  the  motivating  factor  in 
designating  the  six  o'clock  lock-up  time.  Could  not 
this  safety  be  secured  equally  as  well  by  keeping  a 
monitor  posted  at  the  door  past  six?  I'm  sure  there 
are  any  number  of  ladies  who  would  be  willing  to 
work  "guarding"  the  door.    I  would  like  to  be  the 

first  to  volunteer.  t-i.  *  u      *  t»    -j     , 

Thatcher  Annex  Resident 

Editor's  Note: 

Dear  Annex  Resident: 

We  appreciate  the  expression  of  your  opinion 
and  your  suggestion.  In  fact,  your  letter  was  so 
sensible  that  we  can't  understand  why  you  didn't 
sign  your  name.  In  view  of  editorial  policy  and 
ethical  journalistic  practice,  this  is  the  last  anony- 
mous letter  that  will  be  printed  in  the  Accent. 


Dear  Editor: 

Have  you  ever  had  afternoon  classes  everyday 
starting  at  12:00  and  tried  to  eat  dinner  in  the 
^feteria?  Well  I  know  of  several  others  besides 
myself  who  have  this  problem.  If  I  am  fortunate 
enough  to  make  the  front  of  the  line,  1  may  even 
have  15  or  20  minutes  to  eat,  but  if  I  don't  make  the 
front...  And  I  always  enjoy  my  class,  with  my 
stomach  rolling  with  indigestion  because  of  the 
pieces  of  food  swallowed  whole  in  such  a  hurry. 

I  don't  want  to  be  one  to  complain,  but  dear 
cafeteria,  could  you  open  even  15  minutes  earlier? 
You  would  have  some  happy  people  --  and 
stomachs!! 

Sincerely, 
Debi  Harris

t  was  recently  brought  to  the  attention 
of  The  Southern  Accent  that  the  Letters  to 
the  Editor  section  was  of  poor  quality  and 
that  editing  needed  to  be  done  to  eliminate 

:  of  the  less  skillfully-written  letters, 
leaving  only  those  which  appeal  to  the 
journalistic  senses  of  the  readers. 

For  the  information  of  the  person  who 
did  not  care  for  the  format  of  the  last  issue 
concerning  the  Letters  to  the  Editor  sec- 
tion: We  have  no  intention  whatsoever  of 
editing  any  letters  written  responsibly  to 
our  office,  and  will  print  all  possible. 

The  only  editing  will  occur  when  we 
have  too  many  to  print  (and  that  isn't 
likely),  and  then  it  will  be  on  the  basis  of 
pertinence  to  the  subject  which  is  then  a 
prime  issue  and  not  on  whether  we  like  the 
contributor's  style  of  writing  or  not. 

The  Southern  Accent  is  the  voice  of  the 
student  body.  It  gives  the  opportunity  to 
learn  about  our  school  and  how  it  func- 
tions, both  the  good  side  and  the  bad. 
If  we  edit  the  letters  which  come  to  us  so  as 


to  achieve  a  well-written  paper,  then  only  those  with  English 
majors  would  have  a  voice  in  the  column,  and  it  would  have 
the  same  effect  as  censorship.   We  cannot  do  this. 

If  you  have  a  legitimate  gripe  or  maybe  would  just  like  to 
say  what  you  think  about  something  pertinent  to  the 
atmosphere  of  the  college  campus,  please  feel  free  to  write  i 
down  (legibly,  at  least)  and  drop  it  in  one  of  the  many  red 
mailboxes  with  Southern  Accent  written  on  the  side,  an 
know  for  sure  that  we  will  do  what  we  can  to  let  your  opinion 
be  heard.

#  On  October  3,  the  English  club  has  scheduled  their  first  meeting.  It  will  be  held 
in  the  small  banquet  room  of  the  cafeteria  from  5:30-6:30  p.m. 


t  One  eventide  in  the  far  recesses  of  Talge  Hall,  four  young  gentlemen  sat  in  deep 
contemplation  over  the  dilemma  faced  by  so  many  of  the  demure  lasses  here  on 
campus.  Yes,  those  four  sensitive  men  asked  themselves  the  question  that  every 
red-blooded  Talginian  must  ask,  "How  can  we  best  help  resolve  this  void,  this 
dilemma  that  runs  rampant  here  on  campus?"  Well,  after  many  hours  of 
introspective  deliberation,  the  embryo  of  the  Kovalski-Godenick-Lampasi-McNeilus 
Bake-Off  was  bom! 

The  intent  of  this  bake-off  is  to  reward  the  participants  culinary  artisianship  with 
what  is  sure  to  be  the  pinnacle  of  her  social  popularity  here  on  campus.  The  basic 
requirements  needed  to  enter  this  sought  after  contest  include:  1.  Baking  utensils; 
2.  Basic  dessert  ingredients  needed;  3.  A  baking  location;  4.  A  favorite  recipe;  and 
5.  A  dash  of  love.  This  dessert  baking  contest  begins  as  of  today  and  ends  as  of  Oct. 
16  at  precisely  8:02  p.m. 

All  participants  are  asked  to  leave  their  entry  at  Dean  Schlisner's  house  along 
with  their  name  and  name  of  dessert  where  they  will  be  picked  up  later  that  evening 
by  the  judges.  The  bakers  of  the  top  four  dishes  will  be  treated  out  to  a  night  on  the 
town.  Oct.  22,  including  dining  at  one  of  Chattanooga's  most  exotic  restaurants. 
Competition  is  free  style,  so  good  luck  ladies!! 

P.S.  If  any  more  information  is  needed  concerning  the  K-G-L-M  Bake  Off,  please 
feel  free  to  call  4686.   Thank  you. 


0  The  Leaves  of  Autumn,  in  cooperation  with  the  Public  Relations  department  at 
SMC,  is  sponsoring  a  "Steps  to  Christ  Outreach"  in  the  upcoming  Ingathering  Field 
Day,  Oct.  11. 

The  plan  is  as  follows:  approximately  40  Steps  to  Christ  will  be  sent  with  each  car 
going  out.  Inside  each  book  will  be  a  small  pamphlet  describing  Seventh-day 
Adventists  and  who  they  are.  Each  person  going  out  will  have  about  10  books  he  can 
give  to  people  he  meets  during  the  day  and  who  seem  to  be  interested  in  knowing 
more  about  SDA's  and  what  they  believe. 

The  Leaves  of  Autumn  hopes  that  each  person  going  out  will  take  advantage  of 
spreading  these  books  to  people  who  need  Christ.  In  this  way.  Ingathering  will  be 
more  than  a  "March  of  Dimes"  for  the  Seventh-day  Adventist  Church.  It  will  be  a 
tool  and  an  opportunity  to  share  our  faith  and  gain  the  assurance  that  we  have 
co-operated  with  the  Lord  in  getting  the  word  out.

M.J. 
Bryant 


The  SMC  student  missionaries 
have  united  and  formed  a  Student 
Missionary  Club.  Never  before 
has  there  been  an  organization 
specifically  designed  to  promote 
world  missions  at  SMC  and  in  the 
Southern  Union. 

The  club  was  officially  organ- 
ized Tuesday  evening.  Sept.  20. 
The  officers  are  Ron  Koester, 
president;  Bryant  Davidson,  vice- 
president  in  charge  of  on-campus 
activities;  Rahn  Shaw,  vice- 
president  in  charge  of  off-campus 
activities;  Jeanie  Brownlow.  sec- 
retary; Bob  Gadd.  treasurer;  and 
Joy  Southard  and  Lucy  Weeks, 
officers-at-large.  Betty  Howard, 
associate  dean  of  women  is  the 
sponsor,  and  Cyril  Roe.  associate 
professor  of  education,  is  in 
charge  of  the  coordinating  com- 
mittee. 

One  of  the  main  goals  listed  by 
Koester  is  to  keep  the   present 
student    missionaries    and    Task 
Force  workers  from  SMC  inform- 
ed of  what's  happening  here  and 
showing  that  we  are  interested  in     i 
them  and  what  they  are  doigg. 
Part  of  this  goal  will  be  accom- 
(.      plished  by  seeing  that  they  re- 
f      ceive    the    Accent.    Joker,     and 
Southern  Memories,  in  addition 
to  personal  letters. 

Another  plan,  an  Adopt-A-Stu- 
dent  Missionary  program  is  being 
developed  to  keep  in  touch  with 
them,  according  to  Dean  Howard. 
Some  other  goals  are  to  intro- 
duce the  world  missions  program 
at  SMC  and  throughout  the 
Southern  Union,  to  help  raise 
funds  for  future  student  mission- 
aries, and  to  encourage  those 
students  wishing  to  become  stu- 

Koester  slates,  "Basically,  our 
club  is  designed  to  tie  together 
returned  student  missionaries, 
those  in  the  field  now.  and  those 
here  wanting  to  go." 


Snappy 
Suspenders 


Fashion  is  a  predominate  factor 
on  college  campuses  in  America. 
SMC  is  no  exception  to  this  trend. 
Whether  it  be  fur  coats  and 
turned  down  gangster  hats  or 
knee  high  socks  and  saddle  ox- 
fords, the  trends  are  still  there. 

Suspenders  is  the  word  for  the 
fashion  conscience  individuals 
here  at  SMC.  But  there  is  more  to 
it  than  just  fashion.  Some  people 
wear  the  same  kind  of  clothes  as 
their  friends  to  be  accepted. 
Others  wear  suspenders  as  a  way 
of  self-expression.  Some  people 
like  to  wear  them  as  part  of  a 
movement  getting  back  to  "the 
good  ol'  days,"  in  a  time  when 
most  things  are  mass  produced. 

Since  it  is  against  the  SMC 
dress  code  to  follow  the  trend  of 
blue   jeans,    1    think    suspender

wearing  is  a  happy  alternative. 

I  have  a  collection  of  sus- 
penders for  almost  any  occasion. 
I  wear  them  for  my  reasons  too.  It 
is  because  1  am  me  and  they  go 
along  with  all  the  other  things  1  do 
in  life  here  on  the  campus  of 
SMC. 

Should  you  decide  this  trend  is 
for  you  and  you  want  to  join  in, 
beware  that  people  like  to  snap 
them  all  the  time;  or  if  they  want 
you  they  just  reach  out  and  grab 
you  "  by  the  suspender  and  then 
let  go!! 


The  D-9,  built  by  the  Caterpij- 
lar  Corporation  of  Illinois,  ranks 
the  second  largest  bulldozer  in 
the  world. 

Because  of  its  enormous 
weight,  the  D-9  bulldozer  must  be  '. 
transported  to  its  destination  in 
two  sections,  blade  on  one  trailer  j 
and  the  main  body  of  the  bull  | 
dozer  on  another. 

John  Dykes,  the  driver  of  this  1 
massive  piece  of  machinery,  has 
been  working  on  the'CoUegedale  | 
road   for   eight   weeks.      H 
currently    employed    by    Brown  | 
Brothers   Construction   of  Chat- 
tanooga and  is  married,  living  in  | 
Chattanooga. 

Often  working  12  to  16  hours  a 
day,  a  work  week  frequently  total-  j 
ing  89  hours,  John  Dykes 
"For  24  years  I've  had  the  satis- 1 
faction  of  turning  mountains  i 
valleys,  valleys  into  mountains.  I 
and  putting  roads  oyer  both." 

A  "Cat"  paraphrase  of  Archi- 1 
medes  says,  "Give  me  a  bull 
fio7er  big  enough,  and  a  placet! 
put  1'.  and  I'll  move  the  world".

matter  of  history,  the 
■  highlight  for  the  science 
department  was  its  three-week 
trip  for  selected  topics  class,  con- 
ducted May  9  to  May  26.  This 
class  gives  opportunity  for  the 
department  to  offer  majors  edu- 
cation in  fields  beyond  the  regular 
courses  offered. 

Last  year  they  went  to  the 
Grand  Canyon  --  there  being  no 
department  course  given  in 
Grand  Canyon  geology.  This  year 
they  collaborated  with  the  physi- 
cal education  department  in 
taking  a  group  of  students  north 
to  Minnesota  and  Canada  --  a 
selected  course  concerned  mainly 
with   the   ecology   of   the    area. 

Directed  by  Art  Wiederstrom, 
district  forest  warden,  the  stu- 
dents earned  their  four  hours 
fairly,  by  spending  long  days  in 
field  study.   Some  of  the  areas  of 


emphasis  were;  the  ecology  of  a  the  final  day  of  the  trip  --  and  Van 
given  marsh,  methods  of  TSI  Boddy,  junior  biology  major, 
(timber  stand  improvement),  and     summed  up  hiff^tory  of  the  jour- 


the  effects  of  a  forest  fire 
ecology. 

The  evenings  were  used  for 
doing  personal  projects  on  various 
subjects,  such  as  ants  or  beavers. 
Then,  in  spite  of  the  concentrated 
study,  there  was  still  time  for  fun 
"  campfires  and  volleyball,  ice 
cream  at  Hungry  Hubbos,  bird 
watching,  and  moose  hunting  on 
the  surrounding  lakes.  75  species 
of  birds  were  sighted  during  the 
three  weeks,  and  Marcia  Stiles 
reported  seeing  one  moose. 

Other  highlights  of  the  class 
were  a  visit  to  the  Chicago  Field 
Museum  of  Natural  History,  and, 
in  spite  of  two  days  of  incessant 
rain,  a  weekend  canoe  trip  on  the 
lovely  Canadian  lakes  and  rivers. 

The  sun  shone  beautifully  on 


ney  by  telling  m^,  "I  don't  know

With  Water  Polo

Herschel  Logan,  with  the  ap- 
proval of  the  physical  education 
department,  is  trying  to  form  a 
water  polo  league.  There  ate 
seven  members  to  a  team.  The 
requirements  are  to  be  able  to 
swim  well  and  pay  Jl  swimming 
fee. 

The  game  is  fun.  "It's  a 
friendly  game,"  says  Logan, 
"none  of  this  dunking  stuff." 
The  positions  are  varied.  Her- 
schel stated  that,  "The  guards 
can  rest  on  the  back  while  the  for- 
wards must  be  able  to  swim  bet- 
ter as  they  are  up  front  for  the 
duration  of  the  game. 

There  are  four  seven-minute 
periods  in  a  game.  The  games 
last  approximately  40  minutes  in- 
cluding the  rest  periods.  They 
are  played  Friday  afternoons  at

Broom  Shop  Theft  Apprehended 


□Jim  Shanko 

Two  burglars  were  appre- 
hended at  the  College  Broom 
Shop,  and  a  second  burglary  pre- 
vented at  the  Collegedale  Medical 
Center  last  week. 

According  to  Lt.  Dennis  C. 
Cramer  of  the  Collegedale  Police 
Department,  Captain  Lacey  of 
Murray  Guards  was  on  patrol  at 
McKee  Bakery  when  he  saw  a 
hght  on  in  the  Broom  Shop.  Upon 
investigating.  Captain  Lacey  sur- 
prised two  suspects  who  had 
broken  into  the  shop,  and  were 
stealing  office  equipment. 

Lacey  called  for  help  over  his 
radio,  and  caught  one  suspect 
waiting  in  a  getaway  car.  The 
other  suspect  came  out  of  the 
building,  saw  what  was  hap- 
pening, and  fled  through  the  field 
into  the  woods. 

At  this  time,  Lt.  Cramer  arrived 
on  the  scene  and  took  custody  of 
the  one  suspect.  Several  other 
Collegedale  units  arrived  shortly, 
"long  with  a  Hamilton  County 
Police  unit,  and  a  search  of  the 
surrounding  woods  was  made. 


During  the  search  of  the  car 
involved,  a  typewriter  taken  from 
the  business  was  found,  along 
with  a  small  quantity  of  mari- 
juana. Later  that  night  the  other 
suspect  was  located  and  arrested, 
and  because  both  suspects  were 
juveniles,  were  transported  to 
Hamilton  County  Juvenile  Home. 


Police  units  were  just  returning 
from  transporting  the  prisoners 
when  a  call  came  in  from  Hamil- 
ton County  Police  saying  their 
officer  had  spotted  someone  at 
the  Medical  Center.  The  suspect 
had   been   at   the   door    to   the-

$6  Million   To  Be  Raised 
For  Fine  Arts  Complex 


DBill  Marcom 

A  six-million-dollar  decision 
was  reached  by  the-  Board  of 
Trustees  last  Tuesday  when  they 
opted  to  let  Fund  Raising  Associ- 
ates of  Chattanooga  handle  pro- 
motion campaigns  for  the  new 
fine  arts  complex. 

Fund  Raising  Associates,  Inc., 
headed  by  Dow  Mims,  will  have 
the  responsibility  of  organizing 
local  and  national  foundations 
and  corporations  in  an  attempt  to 
solicit   six    million    dollars,    the 


price  tag  of  the  new  complex. 

SMC's  eight-member  Adminis- 
trative Council  was  empowered 
by  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  re- 
view several  fund  raising  organi- 
zations and  to  propose  to  the 
Board  organizations  capable  of 
handling  the  enormous  task. 

Mims'  past  fund  raising  a- 
chievements  include  five  million 
for  the   prestigious   McCallie

president  of  the  Association  and 
also  president  of  his  class  in  1927. 
He  filled  the  part  of  dean  of  men 
for  the  school  from  1927-1936  and 
has  also  been  dean  of  students  at 
Loma  Linda  University.  He  is 
widely  known  for  his  student  con- 
tacts for  the  School  of  Medicine 
while  in  the  latter  position. 

At  3  o'clock  on  Sabbath  after- 
noon a  concert  will  be  given  by

Three   Freshman 
Conquer  Mf.  Rainier 


Three  freshmen,  Marty  Miller, 
Merle  Meyer,  and  Ron  Barrow, 
Jr.,  climbed  14,410-foot  Mt. 
Rainier  in  Washington  this  sum- 
mer during  a  2'/j  week  vacation  in 
the  West.  Their  guide,  a  sea- 
soned 63-year-old  mountain 
climber,  leads  a  group  of  i 
up  Mt.  Rainier  each  ; 


The  last  leg  of  the  three-day 
Llimb,  an  eight-hour  trek  from  a 
bjse  camp  at  9,300  feet  to  the 
summit,  began  at  2  a.m.  In 
cniaplete  darkness  the  three 
young  men  hiked  over  solid  ice 
and,  snow  with  75  feet  of  rope 
separating  them. 

The  below-freezing  tempera- 
ture and  the  cold  rising  from  the 
ice  necessitated  clothing  of  down- 
filled  nylon.  The  youths  also  wore 
heavy  climbing  boots  with  cram- 
pons (12-point  spikes  attached  to 
each  boot)  to  prevent  slipping  on 
the  ice.  "Never  step  on  your 
rope,"  counseled  Barrow.  "It's 
like  stepping  on  your  neck." 
Other  pieces  of  equipment  used 
in  the  climb  included  ice  axes, 
ropes,  sit-hamesses,  and  high-al- 
titude tents. 

To  keep  their  carbohydrate  in- 
take high  the  climbers  ate  hourly 


and  drank  constanUy.  Because  of 
tiny,  invisible  pebbles  in  the 
water,  they  were  forced  to  let  it 
settie  to  avoid  intestinal  damage 
from  the  sharp  edges. 

At  the  summit  of  Mt.  Rainier 
the  climbers  napped  in  the  mile- 
wide  crater  that  caps  the  moun- 
tain. Unlike  the  long,  tedious 
ascent  of  the  mountain,  the  de- 
scent to  the  base  camp  required 
only  2Vi  hours.  However,  the 
descent  was  the  most  frightening 
part  of  the  climb,  according  to  the 
young  men,  because  they  were 
able  to  see  the  treacherous  cre- 
vasses, ranging  in  width  from  '/i 
inch  to  60  feet  with  depths  of  up 
to  100  feet,  that  they  had  crossed 
unknowingly  by  snow  bridges  in 
the  darkness  of  early  morning. 

When  asked  about  his  thoughts 
during  the  climb,  Barrow  replied, 
"What  would  happen  if  the  guy  in 
front  fell?"  Each  climber  took 
precautions  to  secure  himself 
constantly,  not  only  for  his  own 
protection,  but  also  for  that  of  the 
climber  behind  him.  As  the  guide 
admonished  the  youths,  "There 
are  old  climbers  and  bold 
climbers,  but  no  old,  bold 
climbers." 


Board  Establishes  Scholarship  Fund 


The  College  Board  voted  last 
month  to  establish  an  endowment 
fund  granting  scholarships  to  eli- 
gible students. 

Because  of  rising  tuition  rates 
and  the  possibility  of  grants  and 
loans  becoming  more  difficult  to 
obtain,  the  endowment  fund  was 


set  in  motion. 

It  was  also  voted  that  two  un- 
restricted donations  amounting  to 
S200  thousand  be  used  to  initiate 
the  program.  Interest  from  the 
i$200  thousand  will  be  used  for 
subsidizing  worthy  students.  Cri- 
terion for  eligibility  is  yet  to  be 
established.

Him  Preview  Committee  Ready  To  Roll 


D  Curtis  McCrillis 

Robert  Merchant,  head  of  the 
Accounting  office,  reports  that 
the  Preview  Film  Committee  has 
been  chosen  for  the  current 
school  year. 

Merchant  said  that  the  cpmmit- 
tee's  budget  for  the  year  stands  at 
$200.  This  will  take  care  of 
previewing  charges  for  the  films, 
shown  or  not  shown,  which  are 
sent  from  the  rental  agencies. 

Beginning  in  January  1978,  the 
committee  will  trav^. to  Atlanta 


periodically  to  preview  eight  to 
ten  films  there  at  once.  The  $200 
budget  will  also  cover  transporta- 
tion expenses  on  these  trips. 

Also  available  is  the  Padfic 
Union  Conference  film  commit- 
tee's list  of  accepted  films.  These 
will   be  evaluated  by   the   film 


committee,  which  will  discuss 
whether  each  selection  is  worth 
previewing. 

The  film  committee  consists  of 
twp  students  and  six  faculty. 
They   are  as  follows:      Donny 
Keele,  student;   Bev  Benchina, 
Student;  K.R.  Davis,  Testing  and 


Counseling;  Mary  Elam,  assistant

Research 
Grant 

D  Roland  Joy 

The  physics  department  will 
receive  a  grant  of  $750  for  basic 
research  said  Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin, 
professor  of  physics. 

Research  Corp.  called  the  Col- 
lege Sept,  20  with  the  news  that 
SMC's  research  department  qual- 
ified for  the  grant.  The  grant  will 
be  used  for  student  labor  involved 
in  the  College  research  program. 

The  research  project  consists  of 
making  a  periodic  chart  of  dia- 
tomic molecules.  Dr.  Hefferlin 
implied  that  with  this  chart  scien- 
tists could  predict  properties  of 
unknown  molecules  and  would 
better  be  able  to  visualize  and 
learn  faster  about  the  molecules. 
Scientists  could  predict  properties 
of  unknown  molecules  and  would 
better  be  able  to  visualize  and 
learn  faster  about  the  molecules. 
It  would  also  stimulate  the  scien- 
tists to  make  new  theories  in 
chemistry. 

Dr.  Hefferlin  will  be  leaving  for 
Stanford  Research  Institute  in 
Palo  Alto,  Calif.,  Oct.  19.  There 
he  will  give  a  lecture  about  his 
new  research  project  concerning

and  archivist  for  the  college  will

Davis  is  attending  a  convention

Utah  during  Oct.  4-8.  From  the 
numerous  seminars  held  there 
during  this  time,  he  hopes  to 
gather  guidelines  dealing  directly 
with  archives  for  colleges  and 
universities. 

The  archives  at  SMC  will  most 
likely  be  housed  within  the 
McKee  Library  and  will  also  in-

Morrison  Attends  1000th   Spanish  Anniversary 


DDennis  Starkey 

Dr.  Robert  Morrison,  professor 
of  modem  languages,  recently 
returned  from  the  59th  annual 
meeting  of  the  American  Associa- 
tion of  Teachers  of  Spanish  and 
Portuguese  (AATSP)  held  in 
Madrid,  Spain. 

The  five-day  convention  marks 
the  first  time  that  the  AATSP  has 
ever  met  with  the  European  Asso- 
ciation and  consequentiy  the  first 
time  they  have  met  outside  of  the 
United  States. 

The  theme  of  the  international 
gathering  was  "Tres  Continentes 
Ante  El  Milenario  de  La  Lengua 
Espanol,"  meaning  "Three  Con- 
tinents Upon  the  1000th  Anniver- 
sary of  the  Spanish  Language." 

The  keynote  address  was  given 
by  JuUan  Marias,  a  leading  con- 
temporary philospher  known  a- 
round  the  worid.  The  regular 
meetings  consisted  of  lectures 
and  discussions  of  literature,  cul- 
ture, and  teaching  of  the  Spanish 
and  Portuguese  languages,  as 
well  as  tht'  need  for  improve- 
ments in  bilingual  education  in 
the  various  countries  involved. 
All  of  the  meetings  were  conduct- 
ed in  Spanish,  and  according  to 
Dr.  Morrison,  the  European 
scholars  spoke  it  flawlessly,  in 
contrast  to  some  of  the  Americans 
in  attendance. 

Also  part  of  the  activities  was  a 
visit   to   the    American    ambas- 


sador's home  for  a  reception,  and 
a  banquet,  at  which  a  representa- 
tive of  King  Juan  Carlos  of  Spain 
presented  medals  of  honor  to  the 
officers  of  the  association  and  to 
some  distinguished  scholars. 

Dr.  Morrison  spent  two  weeks 
in  Spain,  so  in  addition  to  the 


scholarly  meetings,  he  was  able 
to  do  some  sightseeing.  He  at- 
tended several  19th-century 
operettas  performed  at  the  fine 
arts  center  in  Madrid,  visited 
museums,  historical  casties,  and 
rode  the  modem  subways  around 
the  city.    He  also  did  some  re- 


search in  the  national  library ' 
there,  gaining  valuable  material 
for  his  dissertation,  *'The  Con- 
cept of  Sainthood  in  the  Drama  of 
Lope  De  Vega,'' 

Dr.    Murrisot    was    very    im-

Book  Editor  Predicts  Writers'  Future 


nMatk  St.  Bernard 

The  book  editor  for  the  South- 
ern Publishing  Association, 
Richard  Coffin,  said  last  week 
during  career's  chapel  that  poten- 
tial freelance  authors  writing  for 
the  Seventh-day  Adventist  mar- 
ket would  be  writing  more  for 
goodwill  than  for  a  good  pay- 
check. 

According  to  Coffin,  writing  for 
S.D.A.  publishing  houses  is  not 
exactly  the  most  profitable  oc- 
cupation to  enter.  The  average 
payment  to  an  Adventist  article 
author  is  about  $75  to  $100. 

Coffms,  who  was  invited  to 
speak  to  the  English  and  com- 
munication classes  for  Careers 
Day,  informed  the  students  of  the 
qualifications  and  roles  of  book 
editors,  copy-and  co-editors,  and 
public  relations  practitioners  in 
the  Adventist  market.  He  said 
that  good  editors  must  neither  be

living  through  the  positive  as- 
pects of  diet,  exercise,  and  health 
reform." 

The  booth  will  have  exhibits 
and  information  on  smoking, 
drinking,  and  drugs.  Persons 
interested  in  stopping  smoking 
will  be  urged  to  sign  up  for  the 
5-day  plan  to  be  sponsored  by 
CABL  the  following  week.  There 
will  also  be  free  blood-pressure

According  to  Lazor,  at  least 
eight  more  volunteers  are  needed 
to  help  staff  the  booth  which  will 
be  open  from  1-9  p.m.  Lazor  can

Grounds  or  Service  departments.  No,  the  coU  remams  m  its  idyllic

There  are  a  few  things  that  stUl  twang  our  consciences  whenwe 
call  it  Art,  For  one  thing,  we  haven't  noticed  any  pigeons  lighting

sion  and  great  increase  of  crime,"  Tl:457-460, 
SM2:477,478.  Futhermore,  Sister  White  says  in  T4 
that  Satan  is  the  inventor  of  fashion.  As  we  relive 
the  past  few  years,  we  can  see  how  Satan  has 
changed  fashions  and  how  it  has  been  tolerated  and 
encouraged.  While  this  has  been  done,  Satan  has 
conditioned  the  church  to  accept  his  worldliness  of 
dress. 

The  administration  says  that  the  dress  code  was 
liberalized  to  conform  to  governmental  regulations. 
How  long  shall  we  obey  Caesar?  The  Bible  and  the 
Spirit  of  Prophecy  instructs  the  Christian  on  our 
code  of  dress,  but  yet  we  render  obeisance  to  the 
government. 

Finally,  if  we  aren't  going  to  be  a  peculiar 
people,  we  must  take  the  dress  code  one  step 
further!  If  men  want  to  put  on  that  which  pertaineth 
to  a  woman,  they  should  be  allowed  to  do  so. 

Ridiculous,  isn't  it? 

Thank  you.

Dear  Editor: 

My  name  is  John  O.  Mendez,  Jr.,  an  inmate  at 
Attica  Correctional  FacUity  in  New  York  state. 

Since  coming  to  prison  over  13  months  ago,  1 
have  found  our  Lord  and  Saviour,  Jesus  Christ.  I  am 
one  inmate  that  can  say  I'm  glad  I  came  to  prison. 
Yes,  I  realize  that  may  sound  strange,  but  it's  true. 
Today  1  know  a  freedom  that  I  have  never  known  in 
my  life  before.  The  freedom  I'm  speaking  about  can 
oiily  come  through  our  Lord. 

I'm  studying  for  the  ministry,  for  I  have  given  my 
life  to  Christ,  not  partly  but  completely.  Upon  my 
release  from  this  prison,  prayerfully  in  1980,  itS  the 
Lord's  work  that  1  am  called  to  do. 

Since  the  majority  of  my  time  I  spend  locked  in 
my  cell,  I  have  plenty  of  time  to  study  our  Lord's 
Word.  What  I'm  learning  and  what  I  know  I  seek  to 
share  with  other  Christians.  For  it  is  in  fellowship 
that  we  may  all  grow  as  children  of  God.  Unfortun- 
ately. I  have  no  family  or  anyone  on  the  outside 


whom  I  may  share  my  love  for  Christ  with. 

I  desire  to  establish  mean'mgful  Christian  rela- 
tionships. I  say  as  Paul  said,  "Brethren  I  count  not 
myself  to  have  apprehended:  but  this  one  thing  I  do. 
forgetting  those  things  which  are  behind,  and 
reaching  forth  unto  those  things  which  are  before,  I 
press  toward  the  mark  for  the  prize  of  the  high 
calling  of  God  in  Christ  Jesus."   Phil.  3:13,14. 

Dear  editor,  if  you  could  kindly  place  an  ad  or 
article  or  this  my  letter  for  me  in  your  school 
newspaper  for  Christian  correspondence,  it  would 
be  so  greatly  appreciated  by  me.  I  seek  new  fnends 
in  Christ.  It  does  become  lonely  in  my  cell  ana 
receiving  some  maU  would  surely  help.  It  is 
fellowship  and  the  love  of  Christ  in  friends  that  i 

Anything  you  could  do  for  me  on  this,  the  above 
matter  and  my  prayful  request,  I  would  be  ever  so 
grateful.  May  the  Good  Lord  Bless  You  and  proteci  i 
you  always.  ^.^^^^^jy

Dear  Editor: 


As  I  was  walking  to  work  at  the  Accent  office 
from  the  library,  I  embarrassingly  came  to  the 
conclusion  that  I  was  invading  some  couples*  privacy 
rights. 

Or,  were  they  invading  my  rights?  --  My  right  of 
being  able  to  walk  down  the  sidewalk  without  feeling 
like  I  should  close  my  eyes  and  tiptoe  by;  my  right  of 
feeling  assured  that  when  visitors  arrive  at  SMC, 
they  needn't  feel  the  same  way.  (I  was  the  one  who 


felt  embarrassed  when  a  student  walked  out  of  4'  | 
student  center  with  her  family.) 

I  am  not  going  to  go  into  detaU  about  4« 
situation  as  I  don't  think  that's  necessary  to  get   i 
point  across.     But  can't  we  students  be  ma 
enough  to  keep  our  display  of  affections  to  a  p 
where  visitors,  fellow  students,  and  faculty  can  " 
respect  for  us  and  we  can  still  respect  ourselve      | 


Sincerely, 


1  Greenletf 


Regardmg  last  week's  letter  signed  Thatcher 
Annex  Resident:  I  profusely  apologize  for  not 
adding  my  name  to  the  letter.  1  regretted  not  doing 
so  immediately  after  the  letter  was  delivered. 
However,  being  the  shy  person  that  I  am,  1  took  no 
action  to  rectify  the  situation. 

I  appreciate  your  printing  the  letter  despite  my 
omission  of  a  signature.  I  will  supply  one  at  this 
time. 

Sincerely,

A  Solution  To 
The  Mess  In 
Your  Room 


For  tnanv  Talge  Hall  residents, 
cleaning  up  their  room,  now  that 
open  house  has  come  and  gone, 
ban  easy  task.  This  is  espeaaJly 
tiue  for  those  who  would  not  have 
deaned  their  rooms  in  the  first 
place,  had  it  not  been  for  the  open 
house. 

Every  room  is  divided  into  four 
groups  --  under  the  bed,  behind 
the  dresser,  crammed  in  the  desk 
drawers,  or  in  the  closet  The 
difficulty  lies  in  the  fact  that  1  m 
not  exactly  sure  what's  in  each 
group. 

Everything  that  .has  not  found 
its  way  into  one  of  these  groups, 
or  has  wandered  out  of  one,  soon 
finds  a  place  in  a  pile. 

Piles  are  there  for  several  rea- 
sons. One  is  so  you  can  have  a 
maze  in  your  room  for  eiercise ,  as 
you  walk  around  them  all  the 
time.  (With  a  busy  class  and  work 
schedule,  who  has  time  to  exer- 
cise?) Also,  if  it  wasn't  tor  piles, 
you  wouldn't  know  what  to  do 
with  yout  prize  junk  and  slightly 
dirty,  half  dirty,  and  filthy  dirty 
clothes.  You  wouldn't  want  to  get 
your  slightly  dirty  clothes  filthy 
by  putting  them  in  the  filthy  pile 
would  you?    The  third  reason  in 


this  series  of  college  logic,  is  you 
might  want  people  to  think  that 
vou  are  a  fairly  neat  slob,  and  that 
indeed  there  is  an  order  to  your 
mess  of  piles. 

The  comer  is  usually  a  good 
place  to  start  a  pile.  It  seems  to 
pow  dirty  socks  and  other  things 
that  don't  have  enough  sense  to 
stay  in  your  laundry  hamper. 

Another  place  that  seems  to 
continually  have  paper  wads,  etc. 
dropping  around  it  is  your  gar- 
bage   can  tree. 

A  third  place  for  a  pile  is  in  the 
sink.  After  all,  it  is  so  inviting, 
with  its  mouth  open  wide,  seem- 
ing to  say,  "I'll  bet  you  can  t 
resist  feeding  me  wash  clothes 
and  soap."  But  little  does  flie 
sink  know  that  despite  its  big 
mouth  he  still  has  6  hard  time 
digesting  more  than  xme  tooth 
paste  cap  at  a  time. 

A  fourth  place  -  for  your  more 
displayable  pile  -  is  on  top  of  the 
air  conditioner.  In  this  place  you 
pile  all  your  sports  stuff,  which 
you  never  (or  seldom)  use,  so  that 
the  giris  from  the  outside  and  the 
boys  from  the  inside  can  see  what 
an  athlete  you  are.    Some  items 


you  might  find  in  this  pile  would 
be  your  two  tennis  rackets,  tons  ot 
balls,  (which  you  got  from  ditler- 
ent  people  for  Xmas  and  birthday 
presents  several  years  back,  and 
never  used);  two  motorcycle  hel- 
mets that  you  can't  use  because 
your  bike  needs  to  be  fixed  and  all 
your  money  has  gone  on  your 
statement;  two  inner-tubes  that 
have  been  up  there  so  long  that 
you  don't  know  which  is  good  and 
which  is  not;  an  often-used  skate- 
board (because  you're  too  lazy  to 
walk);  an  air  freshen^;  and  (for 
good  measure)  a  sign  acting  God 
to  be  patient  with  you.

But  the  pile  of  all  piles  is  your 
weeping  clothestree.  It's  the 
place  where  you  put  all  the  things 
that  need  to  be  hung  up  and  there 
is  no  room  in  your  closet,  since  it 
already  took  all  your  weight  to 
close  it.  Atop  this  elongated  pile 
of  sadness  are  ties,  belts,  head- 
phones, shirts,  socks,  hiking 
boots,  and  all  your  suspenders, 
which  can  act  as  quick  clothes 
lines  when  need  be. 

Yes,  you  might  be  surprised 
just  how  fast  the  rooms  go  back  to 
normal  after  an  open  house. 

By  the  way,  we  still  haven't 
found  the  pet  snake  that  got

So  many  times 

1  ask  for  more  time:

time  to  keep  up,

time  to  be  alone, 
time  to  sleep... 

But,  God,  thank  You 

for  the  minutes  You  have  given  me. 
Help  me  to  ultilize  them 

skillfully  and  sanely. 

But  most  of  all, 

help  me  to  spend  aD  my  time  with  You. 
Not  necessarily  down  on  my  knees 
or  with  a  Bible  in  my  hand: 
But  sharing 
giving, 
talking, 
listening... 

Interacting  with  all  these  wonderful  people 
around  me 

with  a  spirit  of  the  Bible 
in  my  heart. 


Thank  You,  God, 

for  making  me  aware

A  New  Way,   A  New    World 

The  early  Christian  church  grew  in  an  atmosphere  of  dedication  and 
sacrifice.  They  became  known  as  the  Way  because  Jesus  was  their  way 
to  a  new  direction  of  living.  Life  took  on  purpose  as  they  viewed  the 
life  death,  and  priestiy  ministry  of  the  risen  Savior. 

After  the  ascension  of  Christ  the  apostles  found  themselves  the 
nucleus  of  a  prophecy-fulfilling  movement.  The  old  ritual  system  had 
found  its  end  in  the  antitype  (Christ).  Now  the  christian  way  became 
the  most  dynamic  revelation  of  God's  character  and  will  to  man. 

Judaism  with  its  forms  and  ceremonies  faded  until  its  deathknell  at 
the  destruction  of  Jerusalem.  The  city  became  the  memory  of  a  once 
great  nation  chosen  by  Yahweh,  the  self-existant  One,  They  faUed  to 
live  the  life  of  love  that  He  wanted  so  much  to  see,  and  their  rejection 
gave  greater  impetus  to  the  new  way  to  become  His  next  agency  of 
salvation  to  mankind.  ,  ,    „  ^        »      ...         „ 

Being  devout  Jews,  the  apostles  lived  the  Hebrew  teachings.  Then 
association  with  Jesus  gave  added  emphasis  to  their  understanding  ; 
and  application  of  the  oracles  of  God;  they  saw  the  spirit  of  the  word 
and  realized  that  life  can  only  come  from  feeding  on  the  substance  ot 
nourishment.  To  have  the  letter  without  the  spirit  was  to  have 
decaying  manna  that  offered  only  death  to  its  partakers. 

The  Holy  Spirit  came  with  the  energy  of  creation  to  carry  the  gospel 
to  the  whole  worid  in  a  single  generation.  The  reality  of  the  gospel 
found  its  most  convincing  proof  in  the  daUy  lives  of  service  that 
reflected  the  Master.  Their  arguments  were  open  to  refutation  by  the 
authorities,  but  their  purity  drove  the  sin-laden  leaders  and  r-ople  to 
the  madness  of  instituting  a  mass  persecution  against  the  Waj         > 

Falling  first  to  this  persecution  was  Stephen,  one  of  the  seven, 
He  died  with  the  prayer  of  forgiveness  on  his  lips  that  tore  the  heart  of 
Paul  who  later  became  the  apostle  to  the  Gentiles.  What  Sata. 
thought  was  his  greatest  blow  turned  into  his  greatest  defeat^ 

The  years  of  controversy  and  death  rolled  on.  James  died  by  the 
sword  Peter  was  crucified  upside  down  and  Paul  was  decapitated.    1 

Running  like  an  eternal  pool,  the  blood  of  the  eariy  Chnstiaos 
became  the  seed  of  growth  for  countless  thousands  Persecun  n 
brought  an  increase  of  converts  and  the  refinement  of  theW> 
Only  those  who  gave  their  all  lived  the  life  of  a  Chnstian,  for  to  be . 
Christian  meant  to  be  a  moment  from  death.  , 

It  was  the  life  of  Christ  that  brought  the  rage  of  the  world. 
Here  was  a  force  that  could  not  be  bought  or  sold  in  the  ""f '  P  « 
The  power  of  heaven  made  inroads  even  into  the  palace  of  Caesar, 
The  presence  of  Christ  was  worth  any  price  -  even  death.  L 

Witnessing  a  phenomenon  for  which  their  training  ^n<!  "P/"'^l 
had  given  no  preparation,  the  Roman  worid  was  faced  with  the  real*  | 
of  love.  This  love  gave  and  gave,  and  the  more  that  it  gave  the  j 
it  became.  ..      u  coulll 

The  power  of  force  was  poweriess  to  conquer  the  Spint.  "  »  1 
torture  and  destroy  the  physical  being,  but  the  inner  f""*^' "f^,  J 
the  reality  of  the  living  Word,  could  not  die;  it  exploded  everythng  tlia| 
it  touched,  and  its  touching  brought  transformations  ot  Deau^.  ■ 
Beholding  this  beauty,  their  eyes  became  blinded  fj  "=  .  ^

[The  Dress  Code- 
changing  Clothes,  Changing  Image,  Or  Changing  Morals? 


DJerry  Dick  Lien 

Unless  one  has  had  the  misfor- 
tune of  being  locked  in  a  time 
capsule  for  the  past  several 
months,  he  knows  by  now  that  the 
dress  standards  at  SMC  have 
changed  somewhat.  Pant  attire 
for  women  on  campus  is  now 
permissible .  while  jeans,  theo- 
retically at  least,  are  banned  for 
everyone  except  at  specified 
rimes. 

Is  this  change  of  code  of  benefit 
to  the  common  weal,  an  example 
of  enlightenment  in  action,  or  will 
it  prove  to  be  just  another  illustra- 
tion of  declining  standards,  us- 
hering in  the  horrors  of  unisex? 

In  pursuit  of  opinions,  this  re- 
porter launched  an  inquiry.  We 
submit  the  sentiments  of  12  stu- 
dents of  the  college.  These  opin- 
ions have  been  selected  as  most 
representative  from  a  larger  ran- 
dom sampling. 

The  questions  asked  were  as 
follows: 

1.  What  difference  do  you 
think  the  ruling  will  make  in  the 
image  of  SMC  as  the  spiritual 
school,  or  the  school  of  stand- 
ards? 

2.  Do  you  think  the  school 
would  eventually  have  made  a 
similar  decision,  or  that  the  Fed- 
eral anti-sex  discrimination  legis- 
lation was  the  catalyst  for  the 
change? 

3.  Do  you  believe  that  the 
dress  code  will  be  enforced 
equally  between  men  and  wo- 
men? 

4.  Do  you  believe  that  the 
men  may  in  part  feel  that  they  are 
being  short-changed  by  the  code 
in  not  being  able  to  wear  jeans  as 
freely  as  in  the  past? 

Dftvid  Caodier  -   1,   for  one, 
,      believe  in  holding  to  a  certain 
dress  standard.  Of  course,  there 
•^     is  the  dress  code  as  set  down  in 
Deut.  22:6,  and  I  believe  in  this, 
i  would  rather  see  a  girl  in  a  dress 
than  in  slacks  or  a  pant  suit. 
There  are  certain  Christian  ettiics 
/    in  my  opinion,  to  be  adhered  to 
:?/    here.   However,  I  doh't  feel  that 
'      dresses  must  be  worn  instead  of 
slacks  at  all  times.     There  are 
[examples  of  cold   weather  and 
'ork  situations  in  which  a  dress 
would  be  both  uncomfortable  and 
awkward.  I  feel  that  it  has  been 
mostly  the  older  generation  that 
has  seen  the  change  as  a  decline 
■n  school  standards.   As  I  Under- 
tand  it,   many  faculty,    too, 
'anted  to  keep  the  dress  code  as 
[twas.  I  don't  believe  that  on  the 
hole  the  men  in  the  dohn  feel 
lat  they  are  being  put  upon  by 
le  code.    They  can  still  have  a 
legree  of  freedom  of  dress  with- 
it  looking  like  bums. 


^Vinlta  Wayman  -  I  think  that 
Jie  law  was  the  motivating  force 
|ehind  the  change.  But  the  ad- 
'nistration  might  have  made  the 
nange  anyway.  I  think  the  code 
an  be  equally  enforced  if  the 
idministration  tries.  One  of  the 
pen  requested  that  I,  as  Hie 
poothem  Accent  editor,  commis- 
P»on  10  men  to  wear  jeans  to  class 
fnd  then  see  if  the  faculty  and 
administration  would  enforce  the 
^Mng.  He  suggested  that  I  write 
gn  editorial  on  what  happened.  I 
*wcided  not  to  do  this  because  I

think  this  is  only  a  gripe  of  the 
men.  Besides,  my  editorial  could 
make  the  administration  really 
crack  down  and  that  wouldn't 
make  very  many  people  happy 
either.  But  as  you  can  see,  there 
is  some  feeling  on  the  part  of  the 
male  students. 


IVfike  Partlo  -  I  haven't  really 
thought  about  the  decision  much. 
But  I  don't  think  that  it  will  have 
much  effect  on  the  school's 
image.  I  think  the  school  would 
have  made  a  change  even  without 
the  federal  law.  But  they  used 
the  law  as  an  excuse  to  support 
their  decision.  I  don't  really  have 
any  feelings  on  the  issue,  but  at 
the  same  time,  I  do  think  tiiat  the 
decision  has  given  the  girls  some 
real  estra  privileges. 

Name  Wtthbeld  - 1  really  prefer 
to  see  the  girls  come  to  class  and 
the  cafeteria  in  dresses.  I  believe 
that  the  type  of  clothes  you  wear 
really  does  effect  the  way  you  act. 
If  a  girl  is  wearing  a  dress,  the 
chances  are  that  she  will  feel  more 
like  a  lady  than  if  she  was  wearing 
slacks.  Also,  there  are  people 
who  come  to  the  administration 
building  who  aren't  Adventists. 
I  think  that  women  in  slacks,  etc, 
could  hurt  somewhat  the  image  of 
the  school  in  their  eyes,  i  do  feel 
though,  that  the  federal  law  was 
what  really  made  the  school  ad- 
ministration change  the  code. 


Stanley  Knight  -  A  lot  of  people 
said  that  the  federal  law  was  the 
thing  that  changed  the  dress 
code.  The  administration  said  so, 
and  I  believe  it.  They  were 
wanting  to  comply  with  the  law.  I 
don't  think,  though,  that  tiie  new 
code  will  really  make  much  dif- 
ference in  people's  minds  about 
the  school  and  its  standards.  I 
believe  that  for  the  most  part  the 
code  is  fair  and  that  both  parents 
and  students  believe  it  to  be. 


Diane  Butler  -  In  some  ways,  I 
think,    the   administration    must 


have  been  examining  the  dress 
issue  for  several  years.  There  has 
been,  I  know,  a  lot  of  talk  for 
some  time  in  the  past  about  slacks 
and  pant  suits  coming  in.  I 
attended  Andrews  before  I  came 
here,  and  one  of  the  reasons  that  I 
did  go  there  first  was  the  SMC 
dress  code.  Andrews'  code  was 
more  relaxed  for  the  girls.  They 
didn't  have  to  go  running  around 
all  the  time  in  only  dresses.  I 
thought  that  considering  all  the 
other  SDA  schools  dress  stand- 
ards, the  old  code  at  SMC  was 
quite  silly.  I  came  here,  though, 
last  year  and  found  that  I  could 
adapt  to  the  standards.  But  I  am 
glad  that  the  dress  code  has  beei 
changed  for  the  women.  There 
may  be  some  difference  in  the 
image  of  the  school  in  some 
people's  eyes,  but  I  think  the 
effect  will  be  small.  I  think  that 
the  rules  will  be  enforced  as 
equally  as  they  can  be.  But  1 
suppose  that  as  time  goes  on  the 
men  will  probably  become  more 
lax  in  their  dress.  I  have  seen 
some  of  the  men  wearing  jeans 
now.  The  women,  though,  seem 
to  be  more  hesitant.  They  don't 
want  to  blow  their  chances  now. 


Name  Withheld  -  I  don't  think 
the  law  had  anything  to  do  with 
the  change.  I  really  don't  know 
what  caused  the  change.  I  do 
think  the  code  now  will  make  a 
difference  in  the  school's  image. 
People  who  don't  know  about  the 
school  as  a  school,  that  is,  aca- 
demically, might  be  influenced 
just  by  the  way  students  dress. 
As  to  the  opinion  of  the  men  on 
the  new  code,  I  really  am  not 
sure.  Most  don't  seem  to  like  it, 
though.  They  don't  like  the  idea 
of  not  being  able  to  wear  jeans. 
But,  as  the  year  goes  on,  the  men 
might  be  able  to  wear  jeans. 
I  don't  think  the  code  will  be 
enforced  equally  as  time  goes  on. 
I  think  it  will  become  more  lax  as 
the  year  goes  on. 


Cmsandra  Gander  -   I'm   not 
around  the  campus  much,  but  I 


think  that  the  new  dress  code  is  a 
good  thing.  I  don't  think  that  by 
allowing  the  women  on  campus  to 
wear  slacks  and  pant  suits  there 
has  been  any  really  significant 
change  in  the  college's  principles. 
By  making  the  change  in  the 
code,  I  feel  that  the  administra- 
tion was  simply  facing  up  to  the 
changes  of  time.  I  don't  really 
know  how  the  men  feel,  but  I 
think  that  the  change  will  really 
make  little  difference  in  the 
school's  image  here  and  else- 
I  where.  As  to  equal  enforcement 
of  the  code,  I  really  couldn't  say 
now. 


Daniel  Pabon  •  I  believe  the 
change  in  the  code  was  made 
more  because  the  girls  have  been 
complaining  for  a  long  time.  I 
really  don't  think  that  the  law 
was  the  great  deciding  factor. 
1  think,  though,  that  the  code 
could  maybe  be  a  littie  more  just. 
There  are  many  men  here  who 
,  can't  afford  really  good  slacks.  If 
they  have  good  jeans  and  can 
keep  them  neat,  I  really  don't  see 
why  they  can't  wear  them.  You 
know,  there  are  good  jeans  and 
then  jeans  with  holes  ahd  look 
sloppy.  I  feel  comfortable  in 
jeans.  I  don't  think  that  dress 
really  has  anything  to  do  with  the 
spirituality  of  a  person.  SMC  is  a 
spiritually  qualified  school,  so  I 
don't  think  that  the  change  will 
really  make  a  big  change  in  the 
school's  image.  The  men  seem  to 
be  getting  more  used  to  having  to 
,wear  slacks  instead  of  jeans  now. 

Name  Withheld  [GIri]  -  I  am 

really  glad  that  the  girls  can  wear 
pants  now.  They  are  much  more 
comfortable  than  dresses.  There 
is  a  time  and  a  place  for  every- 
thing, and  I  think  this  decision  is 
a  step  in  the  right  direction. 
But  I  still  don't  see  why  there  is 
more  emphasis  on  jeans  than 
hair.  I  suppose  that  the  law  was 
the  thing  that  really  got  the  school 
to  change  its  mind  on  the  "old 
dress  code.  I  hope  that  it  will  be 
enforced  fairly,  but  1  know  that  I 
wouldn't  leave  a  class  if  told  my 


dress  was  not  acceptable,  if  I  saw 
that  some  of  the  boys  there  Were 
wearing  jeans. 

Buddy  E.  Dorgb  -  I  think  there 
will  be  a  change  in  the  school's' 
image.  It  will  not  be  with  Ad- 
ventists, I  don't  think,  but  with 
non-Adventists  or  people  who  are 
not  strong  in  the  faith,  but  are 
looking  for  a  school  to  send  their 
children  to  that  seems  to  have 
standards.  The  law.  I  don't  think, 
had  anything  to  do  with  the  de- 
cision to  make  the  change,  fhe 
enforcement  of  the  ruling  will 
depend  on  whether  or  not  there  is 
much  abuse  of  it.  There  seemi^  to  . 
be  some  discontent  about  parts  of , 
the  code,  but  1  think  it  should  be 
kept  as  it  is. 


Lym  Neomann  -  I  have  only 
lattended  SMC  since  last  year,  but  . 
even  then  I  did  notice  that  th^ere  . 
was  some  discontent  among  the  ;■' 
girls  concerning  the  dreSs  cOde.  / 
Many  thought  that  it  was  very  ; . 
unfair  that  the  boys  could  go 
around  in  jeans  and  sometimes  in 
rather  sloppy  clothes  while  they 
had  to  wear  dresses.  The  federal 
law,  I  believe,  had  something  to 
do  with  the  school  making  its 
decision  when  it  did  to  change  the 
code.  I'm  not  certain  about  how 
much  reaction  there  will  be  a- 
mong  the  men  as  to  the  fairness 
of  the  code.  However,  I  do  think 
that  there  may  possibly  be  some 
reaction  among  various  people 
who  have  viewed  SMC  as  the 
spiritual  school  or  the  SDA  school 
with  real  standards.  I  know  there 
were  various  schools  I  could  have 
gone  to,  but  my  family  had  heard 
so  much  about  SMC  that  1  came 
here  when  I  was  a  sophomore. 
My  dad  particularly  liked  the 
school's  image  as  that  of  one  of 
certain  standards.  I  do  think, 
though,  that  the  school  did  make 
its  final  decision  (during  the  sum- 
mer) at  a  time  when  it  would  be 
easier  to  do  it.  It's  kind  of  like 
tipping  an  apple  cart  --  easier  to 
do  when  it's  empty.  It's  easier  to 
make  changes  when  students  and 
others  who  are  involved  in  the 
issue  are  gone.

Ted  Evans  was  second  on  the  13th 
hole.  Qosest  to  the  pin  contest 
was  won  by  Ron  Barts  and  Ted 
Evans. 

It  was  not  the  best  day  for  any 
of  the  golfers  but  there  will  be 
more  tournaments  to  come.

The  story  is  told  of  a  man  who 
wanted  to  open  a  hardware  store. 
So  he  went  to  his  local  bank  and 
deposited  S2,000  in  a  new  ac- 
count. The  banker  weIcome<l  him 
and  encouraged  him  to  make  a 
success  of  his  new  enterprise. 
The  man  left  the  bank  eager  to 
start  with  his  package  of  checks. 

He  immediately  started  writing 
checks  for  nails,  bolts,  and  paint, 
and  all  the  other  necessar>'  items 
needed  to  make  a  hardware  store 
run  efficiently. 

In  about  a  week,  the  banker 
called  and  told  him  that  he  had 
overdrawn  his  account.  The  man 
was  horrified.  He  told  the  banker 
that  had  to  be  impossible,  be- 
cause he  still  had  at  least  half  of 
hi^  .heck^  left. 

So  Willi  any  of  us,  a  checking 
account  is  only  as  accurate  as  the 
records  we  keep. 

Opening  a  checking  account  is 
a  very  simple  process.  Go  to  your 
local  bank  with  your  Social  Secur- 
ity number  (and  some  cash)  and 
you're  in  business. 

The  bank  will  require  you  to  fill 
out  a  signature  card,  to  verify 
your  signature  in  case  of  doubt. 
They  will  also  help  you  choose 
what  color  and  style  of  checks  you 
want.  Some  banks  have  service 
charges  in  accordance  with  your 
average  monthly  balance.  So  find 
out  about  these  charges,  since 
they  vary  from  bank  to  bank. 

Making  sure  you  record  each 
check  as  you  write  it  and  record- 


ing all  deposits  immediately  help 
keep  accurate  records  a  cinch. 

Each  month  you  will  receive  a 
statement  of  your  account  from 
the  bank.  It  will  show  all  deposits 
and  withdrawals,  service  charges, 
(if  any)  and  will  include  any  can- 
celed checks  the  bank  paid  for  you 
during  the  month. 

At  this  point  you  will  need  to 
reconcile  your  account.  First,  sort 
your  checks  into  numerical  order 
and  check  off  each  one  the  bank 
has  paid  in  your  checkbook  regis- 
ter. 

Step  2;  List  checks  written,  but 
no!  paid  against  your  account.

Step  3:    Enter  balance  shown 
in  this  statement. 


Step  4:  ADD  all  deposits  mad< 
but  not  on  statement. 


The  first  round  of  the  Softball 
season  ended  last  week  with 
Webster  taking  a  seemingly  in- 
surmountable lead  into  the 
second  round.  Wednesday, 
Webster  continued  his  streak  by 
winning  a  tight  one  over  Mobley, 
in  the  final  inning,  8-7.  Mobley 
lost  a  heartbreaker  with  victory 
only  three  outs  away.  Hunt  main- 
tained a  hold  on  second  place  by 
nipping  Hickman  in  an  extra- 
inning  contest.  After  seven 
innings,  the  score  was  tied;  Hunt 
finally  scored  in  the  eleventh 
inning  for  a  final  score  of  11-10. 

The  second  round  of  the  season 
promises  to  be  exciting.  The 
general  attitude  of  the  games  has 
been  positive.    Every  team  tries 


harder  against  Webster  for  the 
chance  to  knock  off  a  front- 
runner.  Pitchers  can  engage  in  a 
duel,  which  heightens  the  mean- 
ing of  the  game.  Last  week  saw  a 
contest  of  pitchers  between  Barts 


and  Mosley.  Mosley  was  ejectedl 
from  the  game  after  two  wamiDgsl 
from  the  umpire.  As  the  reasral 
approaches  the  end,  tempers  majl 
rise  and  players  may  be  ejected,| 
but  the  fans  have  the  most  fun,

_  _  Lynn  Wood,  former  president 
of  this  college  in  1918-1922.  was  the 
mam  speaker  at  the  second  Founders' 
Day  program  that  took  place  in  the 
tabernacle-auditorium  of  SMC  October 
10,  1951 

"A  Vision  Through  Faith'  was  the 
speaker  s  subject.  He  recalled  the  ap- 
pearance of  Collegedale  in  19V6  with 
the  "yellow  house'  as  the  prominent 
building  A  few  shacks  and  tents  com- 
pleted the  housing  situation. 

The  first  permanent  building,  as  re- 
called by  Dr.  Wood  was  the  girls' 
idormitory.  A  saw  mill  was  brought 
to  the  new  school  to  make  lumber  with 
which  to  build.  Money  was  needed,  and 
help  was  sought  in  the  central  states. 

A  mahogany-veneer  manufacturer  in 
Indianapolis,  Indiana,  John  H.  Talge, 
furnished  flooring  and  furniture  for  the 
girls'  home.

A  Mr.  Williams  in  Greeley,  Colora- 
do, was  known  to  put  his  entire  earn-

asserted  that  the  William's  home  had 
"a  deep  influence  of  Christian  atmos-

On  being  asked  what  he  could  do  to- 
ward the  growth  of  Collegedale,  Mr. 
Williams  and  his  sons  decided  to  fi- 
nance and  build  two  silos.  Charles  E. 
Williams,  a  SMC  staff  member  of 
long  stdnding  and  an  elder  in  the- 
Collegedale  church,  is  one  of  the  sons. 
Dr.  Wood  recalled  that  a  little  maga- 
zine, Faith,  was  published  by  the  school 
to  tell  of  its  progress  and  needs.  Funds 
came  in.  Brooks  Fletcher,  an  editor  of 
a  paper,  after  a  lecture  at  Southern 
Junior  College,  asked  to  have  the 
students  write  the  story  of  how  they 
came  to  college.  These  he  published  in 
his  paper,  acquainting  his  readers  with 
the  new  school.

New  Pipe  Organ  Sound  Investment 


GJem-  Dick  Lieo 

"Why  should  we  have  a  new 
organ  in  the  chutth?  Isn't  the 
present  one  good  enough?" 
Questions  such  as  these  have 
been  circulating  along  with  the 
report  that  the  Collegedale 
Church  is  eiaminingthe  prospect 
of  purchasing  a  pipe  organ  to 
replace  the  current  electronic 

Approiimately  12  years  ago  the 
congregation  included  in  its  plans 
for  the  new  Collegedale  church  a 
pipe  organ.  The  cost  at  the  time 
for  such  an  instrument  was 
S61.000  ■■  too  much  to  spend,  it 
was  thought. 

So  the  first  flectronic  organ 
was  installed  in  the  sanctuary,  a 


two-manual  (keyboard)  Baldwin 
with  two  small  speaker  cabinets. 
However,  it  soon  proved  to  be 
inadequate. 

A  pipe  organ  was  again  dis- 
cussed. The  church,  though, 
decided  to  buy  another  electronic 
and  purchased  the  present  Rod- 
gers  which  was  installed  in  1967. 
At  that  time,  the  Rodgers  organ 
was  considered  to  be  one  of  the 
two  best  electronic  instruments 
made.  The  cost  was  S23, 150  and 
was  shared  by  the  Southern 
Union,  the  college,  and  the 
church. 

To  the  question,  "Isn't  the 
present  organ  good  enough?"  the 
answer  according  to  Dr.  Marvin 


Robertson,  Music  Department 
head.  is.  "No." 

The  Rodgers  organ  is  now  ten 
years  old  and  unfortunately  was 
planned  with  obsolescence  in 
mind,  states  Robertson.  Wheli  it 
became  necessary  to  make  major 
repairs,  the  manufacturer <was  un- 
able to  supply  the  parts  required 
and  would  not  consider  rebuilding 
the  organ. 

Qualified  technicians  have 
been  endeavoring  to  keep  the 
instrument  functioning  properly. 
However,  there  are  recurring  ma- 
jor problems.  Dr.  Robertson  lists 
these  as  follows: 

Certain  sounds  are  always  on 
whether  one  wants  them  or  not; 


running  the  organ  cannot  be 
maintained:  the  stops  don't  func- 
tion properly  and  are  not  perma- 
nently repairable;  the  pistons  are 
such  that  the  organist  never 
knows  what  sounds  are  coming  on 
even  though  this  has  been  care- 
fully planned;  some  of  the  elec- 
tronic parts  are  worn  out  and  are 
apparently  irreplaceable. 

It  is  somewhat  then  like  an 
Edsel,  no  longer  manufactured 
and  cannot  be  adequately  ser- 
viced. 

The  following  financial  plans 
have  been  studied  by  the  college, 
the  church  and  interested  indi- 
viduals to  deal  with  the  situation. 

1.    Replace  the  organ  with  a 


similar  one.  This  would  cost 
$37,000.  It  would  mean  that  the 
church  would  then  have  spent 
approximately  $61 ,000  -  the  cost 
of  the  pipe  organ  originally  pro- 
posed. With  current  inflation 
figures  in  mind,  this  would  mean 
that  ten  years  from  now  the  con- 
gregation would  have  to  spend 
$50,000  for  a  replacement. 

2.  The  church  could  buy  a  pipe 
organ  like  the  one  originally  plan- 
ned. The  inflated  cost  of  labor 
and  materials  would  raise  the 
$61  thousand  price  to  the

Traffic  Tickets  In  Force  For  All 


DDebby  Boyer 

Last  month,  750  parking  tickets 
were  issued  according  to  Robert 
Merchant,  treasurer.  Both  stu- 
dents and  faculty  are  subject  to 
the  parking  regulations  printed  in 
the  SMC  handbook. 

Clifford  Myers,  who's  in  charge 
of  security,  has  six  students  pa- 
trolling the  campus  parking  lots. 
Roy  Nelson,  Ray  Hartwell,  and 
Tom  Reynolds  check  cars  in  class- 
room, visitor,  and  faculty  park- 
ing lots.  Donald  Jaqua  and  Brian 
Hickman  work  in  the  Talge  park- 
ing lot,  and  Mark  Godenick  works 
in  Thatcher's  parking  lot.    They 


patrol   Monday   through    Friday 
from  8  a.m.  until  3  p.m. 

The  two  most  common  viola- 
tions are  having  no  decal  and 
parking  in  someone  else's  place. 

According  to  Merchant,  the 
ticket  money  ($3)  is  put  with  the 
decal  money  and  used  to  pay  for 
the/ maintenance  of  the  parking 
lots  and  their  supervision. 

Ken  Rogers,  SA  president,  ap- 
pointed students  Marie  Walker, 
Sandy  Musgrave,  and  Randall  Ja- 
cobsoD  to  serve  on  the   traffic 


court  with  Merchant.  Last  mont 
the  court  handled  between  30  to 
40  appeals.  The  standard  proce- 
dure involves  stating  one's  name, 
the  circumstances  involved  in  get- 
ting the  ticket,  and  answering 
questions.  Afterwards,  the  court 
votes  and  the  ballots  are  counted. 
In  case  of  a  tie  the  appeal  is 
approved.  Myers  also  attends  the 
sessions,  but  does  not  vote. 

Traffic  court  will  be  held  Octo- 
ber 26,  November  16,  and  Decem- 
ber 14  at  4  p.m.  in  tiie  Student 
Center.

Summers  Takes  On  Position 
As    WSMC    News    Director 


DTeresa  Shaw 

Tri-Community  Fire  Depart- 
ment engines  rolled  October  3.  at 
11:30  p.m.  One  pumper,  one 
tanker,  and  nine  men  responded 
to  a  trailer  fire  at  London  Lane 
and  Mcgee  Road  in  Apison.  lo- 
cated on  the  outskirts  of  College- 
dale. 

The  fire  was  extinguished  one 
and  a  half  hours  after  the  firemen 
arrived  on  the  scene. 


Fire  officials  reported  that  the 
trailer  rented  by  c  Ms.  B.  Smith 
was  completely  destroyed  and 
damages  were  estimated  around 
$5,000.  There  were  no  injuries. 

Asst.  Chief  Martin  Lee  said, 
"there  was  noway  of  determining 
the  cause  of  fire."  A  butane  tank 
located  near  the  burning  trailer 
was  prevented  from  exploding  by 
the  firefighters.

John  Summers  has  recently 
joined  the  WSMC-FM  staff  as 
news  director.  He  last  was  at  Hot 
Springs.  Ark.,  a  spa  resort  area 
where  he  held  a  position  as  music 
director  and  air  personality  with 
commercial  radio  station  KXOW. 

Summers  said  he  wasn^t  happy 
with  commercial  radio,  but  had 
been  unsuccessful  in  getting  a 
church-ielated  communications 
job. 

He  had  almost  given  up  hope  in 
trying  to  get  a  job  with  the  church 
when,  during  this  past  summer, 
he  contacted  the  General  Con- 
ference Communications  Depart- 
ment and  was  told  that  WSMC 
was  hiring  new  staff.  WSMC  was 
looking  for  someone  with  experi- 
ence in  radio,  and  after  talking 
with  Summers,  felt  convinced  he 
was  the  man  for  the  spot. 

Summers  feels  that  not  having 
a  communications  degree  had 
made  it  extra  tough  for  him  to  get 


a  communications  job  with  the 
church,  He  recommends  to  those 
hoping  to  work  for  the  church  in 
conmiunications  to  get  their  de- 
gree. 

In  1971  he  attended  South- 
western Union  College  with  the 
intention  of  entering  the  medical 
field.  But  soon  after  leaving 
college  in  1974.  he  realized  that 


he  reaUy  desired  to  work  with 
radio. 

Within  the  last  four  yean. 
Summers  gained  experience  wit" 
various  types  of  musical  format  ai 
commercial  stations  -  from  Jop 
40  to  country  to  easy  listenmg-

50  Participate  In  Experimental  Math  Instruction 


DDebra  Gainer 

A  new  method  of  teaching  In- 
termediate Algebra  has  been  in- 
novated by  Arthur  Richert,  math 
instructor.  The  experimental 
class  is  conducted  on  a  self-study 
basis.  The  50  guinea-pig  stu- 
dents enrolled  are  required  to 
come  for  the  lectures  only  on 
Wednesdays,  the  remainder  of 
the  teaching  process  being  com- 
pleted by  themselves  and  student 
tutors. 

The  course  consists  of  a  prac- 
tice workbook,  from  which  exer- 
cises are  done  but  not  turned  in. 
At  the  end  of  each  of  the  19  units 
is  a  test,  which  must  be  taken 
through  four  possible  forms  until 
the  scholar  achieves  a  score  of  80 


per  cent  and  can  go  on  to  the  next 
chapter.  At  the  end  of  the  semes- 
ter a  final  exam  is  given,  after 
which  test  scores  are  averaged  for 


think  it's  nice  having  to  attend     while  others  enjoy  the  freedom  of      work-required  and  no  rigid  dead- 


speed. 


Richert  explains  that  the  reason 
he  tried  this  method  of  indepen- 
dent study  was  an  experimental 
one,  to  see  if  students  learn  better 
when  they  are  forced  to  work  on 
their  own.  He  predicts  that  final 
exam  scores  will  turn  out  general- 
ly the  same  as  in  other  years, 
because  students  choose  to  learn  DLinda  Dick 
or  choose  not  to,  inspite  of  teach- 
ing methodology. 


class  only  once  a  week.    On  the  studying  at  their  c 
other  hand,  they  feel  some  re- 
sentment  about    paying   $89   an         And  then  there  is  the  problem 

hour  to  teach  themselves.    Some  of  procrastination;  as  one  student 

find  it  difficult  to  learn  with  a  remarked,  "It's  entirely  too  easy 

of  teacher  instruction,  to  put  off  since  there's  no  home- 


lines.' 

But  then,  as  Richert  stated,  it's 
just  an  experiment.  Results  of 
this  semester's  class  will  decide 
the  methodology  of  future  class-

Members    of   the    class    have 
mixed  feelings  about  it.     They

organ  has  been  examined.  The 
inquiry  shows  that  the  mainten- 
ance costs  are  minimal.  Also, 
organs  of  this  type  which  are  300 
to  400  years  old  still  work.  A 
mechanical-action  pipe  organ  of 
the  size  fitting  for  the  Collegedale 
church  could  be  purchased  for 
$200,000.  Delivery  would  take 
from  two  to  three  years. 

Robertson  feels  that  such  an 
organ  could  be  the  best  for  the 
needs  of  the  church.  He  said, 
"First,  the  church  would  have  a 
beautiful  sounding  instrument  to 
lead  the  congregation  in  singing 
and  worship.  Electronic  instru- 
ments simply  cannot  produce  the 
precision  and  non- distortion  of 
sound  which  the  pipe  organ  does. 

"Second,  this  instrument 
would  draw  people  to  Collegedale 
church  and  Southern  Missionary 
College.  Experience  at  others  of 
our  SDA  colleges  has  proved  that 
the  church  organ  can  be  a  signifi- 
cant point  of  contact  with  non- 
church  members." 

"Third,    the    purchase    of   an 
organ  of  this  type  would  serve  the 
congregation  with  minimal 
tenance    until    Jesus    comes. 
Should  time  last  and  a  new  sanc- 


tuary be  needed,  the  instrument 
could  be  moved  and  serve  the 
new  facility." 

It  was  voted  at  a  church  busi- 
ness meeting  on  May  4  to  request 
that  a  recommendation  for  the 
solution  to  the  problem  of  the 
organ  be  presented  at  a  combined 
church  board  and  business 
meeting  May  18. 

Two  motions  were  made  during 
the  May  18  meeting.  One  was 
that  over  a  three  year  period  the 
church  would  be  responsible  for 
$50  thousand  to  go  to  the  pur- 
chase of  a  mechanical-action  pipe 
organ  providing  that  SMC  is  re- 
sponsible for  $50,000.  Further- 
e,  $100,000  in  special  gifts 
would  be  sought  from  sources 
mostly  outside  of  Collegedale. 
Any  portion  of  the  $100,000  which 
is  not  raised  should  be  shared  by 
the  church  and  college.  The  other 
motion  was  that  the  Permanent 
Nominating  Committee  should 
select  a  church  organ  committee 
to  recommend  an  organ  builder 
and  design. 

So  far,  according  to  Robertson, 
some  $3,000  have  been  gained 
from  outside  sources.  Further 
action  on  the  part  of  the  College 
Board  is  anticipated. 


The  SMC  Concert  Band  for  the 
first  time  includes  any  student 
who  can  pass  the  tryout  test  for 
his  particular  instrument  with  a 
score  of  sixty  or  more.  This  band 
consists  of  92  members  and  will 
perform  mostly  home  concerts, 
although  a  trip  to  Oakwood  Col- 
lege and  a  half-time  show  for  an 
Atlanta  Hawkes  basketball  game 
are  planned. 

1  he  SMC  Touring  Band  is  limi- 
ted to  32  of  the  highest  tryout  test 
scorers  from  the  different  instru- 


ment sections  in  the  Concert 
Band.  This  band  will  be  mainly  a 
touring  band.  Plans  are  being 
laid  for  a  spring  tour  to  Canada 
and  New  England.

Letters  To  The  Editor 


Dear  Editor. 

Hooray  for  the  new  dress  codel 
I  thini  it  is  about  time  we  got  a 
dress  code  that  is  fair  to  both  men 
and  women. 

It  has  been  with  amusement 
that  I  have  read  the  discussion  of 
the  topic.  Perhaps  with  a  little 
light  on  the  topic  we  could  put  the 
discussion  to  rest,  but  alas,  there 
are  so  many  opinions  of  how  we 
should  dress.  That,  my  friends,  is 
a  very  big  point  in  favor  of  the 
new  dress  code.  It  gives  our 
female  members  greater  freedom 
to  be  creative  in  the  way  they 
dress. 

Yes,  Deut.  22:5  does  give  a 
good  principle  to  go  by.  Just 
don't  forget  that  if  we  were  to 
dress  the  same  way  today  as  they 
did  then,  we  men  would  be  the 
one  wearing  the  dresses  and  the 
ladies  wearing  the  pants. 

Remember  this,  too.  The  "Re- 
form Dress"   that  Ellen  White 


advocated  in  the  last  century  was 
a  pantsuit  with  a  long  tunic  top  -■ 
not  much  different  than  some 
styles  today.  The  controversy 
that  erupted  turned  a  blessing 
into  a  curse.  Lef  s  not  turn  a 
blessing  into  a  curse  here  at 
SMC. 

The  new  dress  code  restricts 
the  use  of  blue  jeans  to  theii 
proper  place  and  where  they  are 
most  practical.  This  should  serve 
as  a  challenge  to  all  of  us  to  dress 
more  tastefully.  While  there  are 
quite  a  few  who  will  abuse  the 
new  dress  code,  I  feel  that  the 
challenge  to  creativity  and  taste- 
fulness  far  outweighs  any  detri- 
ments. 

If  we  really  want  something  to 
complain  about  on  the  way  we 
dress  I  have  some  suggestions  to 
maie.  This  fall  I  observed  quite  a 
few  guys  wearing  their  shirts 
open  half  way  to  their  navel. 
(How  disgustingi).    A  tew  even 


were  wearing  pieces  of  jewelry  on 
chains  around  their  necks.  This 
not  only  is  repulsive  but  the 
things  those  pieces  of  jewelry 
depict  or  symbolize  should  be 
abhorring  to  t(ie  Christian.  An- 
other thing  is  the  length  of  guys 
hair.  Quite  a  few  are  pushing  the 
rules  to  the  limit 

1  could  list  more  but  that  is 
enough. 

If  we  guys  are  to  complain 
about  how  the  girls  dress,  let's 
first  make  sure  we  ate  within 
Christian  standards  on  the  way 
we  dress. 

William  Noel 


Dear  Editor: 

After  reading  all  the  hub-bub 
about  dress,  I  became  a  bit  per- 
turbed. 

I'm  not  sure  what  all  the  hassle 
is  about.  Some  people  say  women 
shouldn't  wear  men's  clothes, 
others  are  worried  about  stan- 
dards, impressions  made  on  the 
general  public,  and  all  kinds  of 
different  opinions. 

After  attending  classes  in  dif- 
ferent public  colleges,  my  mother 
told  me  she'd  never  seen  girls 
who  wore  less.  She  said  even  in 
winter  it  was  amazing  what  they 
could  leave  off.  With  the  gills 
being  exposed  in  sheer  cloth  etc., 
it  was  a  surprise  that  most  guys 
didn't  even  notice.  The  guys  did 
notice  the  well  dressed  women.Of 
course,  I  had  to  see  for  myself, 
and  she  was  right! 

Maybe  I'm  a  bit  out  of  it,  but  I 
don't  notice  what  a  person  wears. 
1  do  notice  a  neafly  dressed,  well 


Dear  Editor: 

1  think  some  people  deserve  a 
big  "thank-you"  for  greatly  con- 
tributing to  the  school  year  so  far: 
first  Greg  Vital,  for  getting  the 
Joker  out  in  a  hurry;  second, 
Vinita  and  staff,  for  producing 
such  a  good  paper,  and  third, 
(though  by  no  means  third  in 
order  of  importance)  the  faculty, 
for  finally  getting  on  the  ball  and 
voting  in  pants  for  women's 
general  campus  wear. 

Appreciatively, 

-  Kris  Hackleman

coordinated,  and  modestly 
dressed  lady.  I  would  say  the 
women  on  this  campus  fit  into 
those  catagories  99  percent  of  the 
time  whether  they  are  in  pants  or 
dresses. 

1  can't  see  how  any  non-Ad- 
ventist  coming  to  this  school 
could  help  but  be  impressed  with 
the  way  the  women  dress,  nor  do  I 
believe  the  women's  dress  isn't 
feminine.  Our  standards  are  not 
dropping  to  immorality. 

Isn't  modesty  not  putting  the 
emphasis  on  dress?  I  think  we 
are  making  a  big  to  do  about 
nothing.  If  we're  going  to  let 
what  somebody  else  wears  get  us 
excited,  we'd  better  worry  about 
where  our  head's  at,  not  where 
their  body's  at. 

Regardless  of  rules,  I  think  it's 
our  individual  standards  that 
make  the  overall  standard  of  the 
school. 

Jim  Guy 


Dear  Editor; 

I  would  like  to  express  my 
surprise  and  elation  over  this 
year's  Joker.  What  a  marvelous 
job.  and  done  so  early!!  Greg 
Vital,  my  hat  is  off  to  you  and 
your  staff  for  all  your  hard  work. 
I'm  sure  all  those  students  that 
were  here  last  year  share  my 
appreciation  of  your  dedication  to 
a  job  well  done. 

Ray  Hartwell 


From  the  second  floor  station  of  the  nuclear  plant  near  the  gym,  I 
scan  the  perimeters  of  my  alma  mater. 

Fifty  years  ago,  in  1978,  1  graduated  from  Southern  Missionary. 
Now  they  call  it  Inter-Planetary  Adventist  Installation  (IPAI). 

Everything  familiar  is  gone.  Only  one  thing  from  the  past  remains 
--  the  Coil  of  Cable,  a  stout  remnant  of  battered  nostalgia. 

A  student  clad  in  white  foil  emerges  from  a  metal  doorway  to  my 
right.  I  start. 

"Welcome  to  Inter-Planetary,"  he  says. 
"Uh,  thanks.   Is  this  where  you  work?" 

"Yeah.  After  McKee  Bakery  folded  in  1990,  tliey  decided  to  build 
this  nuclear  physical  plant.  Now  the  whole  installation  utilizes  nuclear 
energy." 

"That's  nifty.  Why  did  the  bakery  fold?" 

"Nifty?,"  he  grimaced.  "Oh,  now  it  comes  to  me.  lleamed  about 
that  linguistic  era  last  semester.  The  bakery?  Yes,  it  was  around  the 
time  that  food  tablets  appeared  and  took  ttie  place  of  most  of  the 
common  packaged  foods.   Al!  the  bakeries  were  wiped  out." 

1  do  remember  having  rsad  something  about  that.  Maybe  I  saw  it  in 
The  Southern  -- 1  mean  Inter-Planetary  Accent. 

Suddenly  the  administration  dome  flashes  in  the  foggy  distance. 
Three  times  long,  once  short. 
"Morse  Code?"  I  ask. 

"Oh  no,"  the  foiled  student  replies  laughing.  "That's  the 
president  radioing  the  GC,  you  know,  on  Mars." 

"Oh.  yeah,"l  mumble.  By  now  he  realizes  probably  who  I  am. 
He  probably  even  thinks  I'm  the  dumbest  clonk  around.  I  lean  heavily 
on  my  cane  and  try  to  look  comprehensive.

with  green  grass.  And  right  here  underneath  us  somewhere  was  a  golf

♦  Last  Friday,  Oct.  7,  a  group  of  about  40  SMC  students  met  for  a  linkett  roast  with 
popcorn  and  fruit  salad  for  supper,  followed  by  a  campfire  vespers  service. 

It  was  held  at  the  foot  of  White  Oak  mountain  in  Ringgold,  Ga.,  where  logs 
encircled  a  campfire  and  a  cross  stands  as  a  spiritual  monument. 

After  all  had  their  fill  of  food,  the  program  started  with  a  song  service  led  by  Bob 
Hillier  and  Dennis  and  Dave  Canther  on  accordian  and  guitar.  Artie  Cisneros  sang 
"Great  is  Thy  Faithfulness"  as  our  special  music. 

A  short  talk  was  given  by  Artie  Cisneros  dealing  with  various  aspects  of  the  law  as 
God's  character.  Then  personal  testimonies  were  given  by  those  who  felt  moved  to 
do  so. 

Small  prayer  groups  consisting  of  two  to  four  persons  prayed  together,  after 
which  all  joined  hands  and  sang  "When  the  Roll  Is  Called  Up  Yonder"  and  "I  have 
Decided  to  Follow  Jesus."  After  the  benediction,  the  service  was  closed  by  singing 
"Alleluia." 

There  are  several  such  programs  plaimed  throughout  the  school  year.  If  you  are 
interested  in  joining  us,  or  helping  with  planning  and  preparations  of  these 
programs,  call  John  Lazor  at  396-4673.

6  -  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  Thiired»v.  October  13.  1977 


Ferrante 
-^    &  Teicher  - 

Look   Mikes 


ferrante  and  Teicher  don't 
really  look  alike  except  for  dark 
hair,  glasses,  and  matching 
tuxes,  but  so  many  people  in- 
sisted they  did  that  they  decided 
to  use  the  idea  in  their  per- 
formances. 

"You  think  we  look  alike  from 
out  there?"  Ferrante  will  ask  an 
audience,  "well  let  me  tell  you 
that  from  up  here  you  all  look 
alike  too!" 

Even  though  they  didn't  look 
alike  as  children  they  did  become 
friends  when  they  were  enrolled 
as  six  year  old  prodigies  at  the 
JuUiard  School  of  Music  in  New 
York  City.  They  shared  the  same 
teachers,  the  same  classes,  and 
finally  during  Piano  Ensemble 
class,  the  same  piano  bench  so 
they  could  share  the  same  key-' 
board  to  play  duets. 

While  still  in  their  teens  they 
decided  to  become  a  two  piano 
team  and  after  graduation  began 
their  preparation  for  a  profes- 
sional career  as  duo-pianists. 

"Two  -  piano  ensemble  tech- 
nique L.  very  difficult  to  master," 
Teicher  says,  "because  it  isn't  a 
duplication  of  notes  but  four 
hands  creating  a  unique  sound. 
Both  pianists  must  function  vviih 
complete  rapport  to  create  the 
nuances  and  artistic  balance  so 
necessary  for  a  finished 
product." 

Ferrante  and  Teicher  began 
touring  as  classical  pianists. 
They  received  critical  acclaim  and 
a  growing  audience  of  fans  but 
international  prominence  didn't 
come  till  after  they  recorded  the 
theme  from  the  motion  picture 
"The  Apartment."  The  record 
sold  almost  a  million  copies  the 
first  three  weeks.  A  short  time 
later  they  recordrd  "Exodus' '  and 
their  position  as  America's  fa- 
vorite piano  team  was  assured.

Crescendo 

Of    Alumni 
Weekend 


A  crescendo  to  the  Alumni 
Weekend  October  14  to  16  will  be 
a  concert  by  the  piano  duo,  Fer- 
rante and  Teicher.  Saturday.  Oct. 
IS  at  8:15  p.m.  at  the  Physical 
Education  Center. 

Ferrante  was  bom  in  New  York 
City,  Teicher  in  Wilkes  Barre, 
Penn.  They  met  at  the  age  of  six 
when  they  were  enrolled  in  the 
Prep  Center  of  the  JuUiard  School 
of  Music.  New  York  City.  Upon 
graduating,  both  were  appointed 
to  the  faculty  of  JuUiard  to  teach 
as  members  of  the  theory  depart- 
ment. 

Their  first  professional  engage- 
ment was  with  the  Toledo  Sym- 
phony as  guebi  artists,  '"hey  have 
now  appeared  on  every  major  TV 
program  and  their  average  yearly 
tour  is  in  excess  of  100  cities. 
Ferrante  and  Teicher  do  their  own 
arrangements,  including  the  or- 
chestrations for  recording  and 
symphony  appearances. 

Both  Ferrante  and  Teicher  play 
Baldwin  pianos  and  record  for 
United  Artist  Records. 

Tickets  range  in  price  from  $1 
to  S4  and  are  presently  on  sale  at

Laughing  As 
They  Tour 


DoF&T  have  a  negative  view 
of  touring? 

"Not  at  all,-  Ferrante 
answered.  "We  love  touring  and 
the  drivers  taught  us  a  sense  of 
humor." 

"For  instance,"  Teicher  said 
"there  was  the  driver  whi 
painted  the  pianos  because  we 
had  told  him  to  keep  them  looking 
nice.  Trouble  was  he  forgot  to  lell 
us  and  when  we  leaned  against 
them  during  the  performance  out 
hands  stuck  to  the  pianos." 

"I  rememjer  one  driver,"  Per- 
rante  said,  '  'whom  we  told  to  be 
backstage  immediately  following 
the  last  encore.  We  played  an 
auditorium  that  didn't  have  a 
back  door  and  I  can't  imagine 
what  the  audience  thought  when 
they  saw  this  huge  man  walk 
down  the  center  aisle,  up  the 
steps,  and  onto  the  stage,  walking 
across  as  we  finished  our  last  I 
song." 

And  why  did  they  stop  hauling 
their  own  pianos? 

"Well,"   Ferrante  said,  "the 
promoters  were  to  furnish  some- 
one to  load  the  pianos  on  the  tniek  I 
after  each  concert.     Usually  the  [ 
loaders  were  loaded  before  they  | 
showed  up  to  load.     After  oni 
concert  the    loaders   dropped  ; 
piano  causing  a  serious  injury  t( 
one  of  our  drivers.  It  disturbed  ui 
so  much  that  we  decided  to  give  I 
up  hauling  our  own  pianos.  The  | 
Baldwin  Piano  Company  makes  I 
arrangements  for  pianos  to  be  al  I 
out  concerts  so  we  no  longer  have 
to  worry   about  whethe: 
pianos  will  join  us  for  the  concert  | 
or  not." 

Does  it  make  a  difference  play-  L 
ing  a  new  instrument  for  each  I 
concert? 

Teicher  shook  his  head. 
don't  think  so.  We  practice  oil 
the  instruments  before  each  coil 
cert.  In  that  way  we  get  to  kntnl 
the  pianos  and  the  pianos  gel  »l 
know  us.

Riverboat 
Cruise 
Steams 
Ahead 

DMark  Kurzynske 

The  Men's  Club  will  host  an 
outing  --  a  riverboat  cruise  Thurs- 
day, Oct.  20,  from  6:30-8:30  p.m. 
The  fee  is  $2  per  couple,  which 
will  cover  food  and  transporta- 
tion. 

According  to  spokesman  Dan 
Burtnett,  the  half-hour  dinner  of 
the  two-hour  cruise  will  be  some- 
thing like  a  light  picnic  affair.  For 
those  couples  who  want  to  take 
advantage  of  the  free  transporta- 
tion, the  buses  will  leave  in  front 
of  Wright  Hall  precisely  at  5:30. 

This  boatout  will  be  informal. 
Guys  ask  girls  or  girls  ask  guys. 
"If  a  girl  wants  to  go  on  the 
cruise,  I  don't  see  why  she  should 
not  ask  a  guy  out,"  stated  Burt- 
nett. 

The  paddleboat  is  the  "Border 
Star,"  which  holds  up  to  200 
people.  "Hopefully,"  said  Burt- 
nett, "we  can  take  the  bigger 
boat,  'Julia Belle  Swain,'  which  is 
run  by  steam."  The  "Julia  Belle 
Swain"  holds  up  to  350  people. 
The  Men's  Club  is  shooting  for 
300  people  (150  couples). 

In  case  of  rain,  the  trip  will  still 
go  on.  The  bottom  decks  of  either 
boat  are  enclosed  while  the  top 
floors  have  a  top  over  them. 

Tickets  are  on  sale  at  the  Talgt 
Hall  desk  up  until  Monday,  Oct.

Ilinrsday,  October  13,  1977  THE  S0UTHE8N  ACCENT  -  7 


Vital  Loss  Restored 


As  the  first  century  drew  to  a  close,  the  Christian  Way  found  itself 
proscribed  by  the  Roman  Empire.  The  apostles  had  given  their  lives  in 
the  building  process  and  only  John,  the  Beloved,  remained.  His  days 
were  spent  at  Ephesus,  where  his  example  and  guidance  encouraged 
the  growth  of  his  flock. 

An  imperial  edict  summoned  John  to  stand  trial  for  his  faith.  As  he 
went,  he  well  knew  that  his  time,  like  that  of  Peter  and  Paul,  had  come. 
He  went  with  the  memory  of  Jesus,  his  master  and  friend.  Death 
would  be  only  a  moment  in  eternity  for  him-he  would  not  vacillate  in 
his  love  for  Jesus. 

Found  guilty  and  sentenced  to  die,  John  continued  to  live  in  a  state 
of  praise  and  thanksgiving.  He  took  the  last  moments  that  he 
possessed  to  tell  of  his  Creator-Savior,  and  hearts  of  stone  melted 
under  the  soft  words  of  an  old  man  who  knew  of  what  he  spoke. 

The  destiny  of  John  led  him  to  a  platform  overlooking  a  vat  of 
boihng  oil.  No  ordinary  death  could  be  prescribed  to  one  of  the  twelve; 
it  was  meant  to  strike  terror  at  all  who  would  dare  to  believe  and  to 
confess  that  name  of  love. 

He  was  released  and  fell  into  the  caldron.  Satan's  triumph  soon 
faded  when,  to  the  amazement  and  fear  of  all,  John  rested  in  a  garment 
of  divinity  that  no  force  could  penetrate. 

Realizing  that  death  would  be  an  impossibility,  Domitian  banished 
the  apostle  toPatmos,  one  of  Rome's  penal  colonies  in  the  Aegean  Sea. 
Patmos  reflected  the  barren,  rocky  condition  of  the  world,  and  John, 
the  prisoner,  suffered  the  separation  from  his  home  across  the  sea.  To 
him  there  was  only  the  promise  of  death  on  the  horizon  of  tomorrow. 

It  appeared  to  be  like  just  another  Sabbath  morning  as  John  walked 
the  beach  and  glazed  intendy  across  the  sea.  A  deep,  melodious  voice 
sounded  behind  him.  "I  am  the  Alpha  and  the  Omega,  who  is  and  who 
was  and  who  is  to  come,  the  Almighty."  He  turned  because  it  was  the 
voice  of  Jesus,  and  he  fell  before  Him  to  worship. 

To  perish  on  a  lonely  island  was  not  to  be  the  destiny  of  the  beloved. 
His  work  had  only  just  begun.  Composing  first  Revelation  on  Patmos, 
John  later  wrote  his  other  books  after  his  release. 

From  all  appearances  it  seemed  that  John's  work  in  the  service  of 
The  Master  was  finis.   Jesus  did  not  view  it  that  way. 

The  Revelation  of  Jesus  Christ  was  to  be  sent  to  the  seven  churches 
as  a  testimony  of  Jesus  to  His  children.  Its  themes  are  grand  and 
glorious  encompassing  the  essence  of  the  great  controversy.  From 
rapture  to  rapture  it  traces  the  living  Christ  and  His  power  to  change 
the  life.  It  portrays  the  drama  of  existence  for  His  chosen  people  until 
His  coming  and  beyond  to  the  glories  of  the  heavenly  kingdom. 

Contained  in  its  pages  are  vital  truths  that  are  needed  by  this 
generation.  For  too  long  it  has  been  shrouded  in  the  historical  rhetoric 
of  meaninglessness  as  the  living  Christ  has  been  retrograded  to  the 


'The  light  which  fell  from 
the  open  portals  upon  the  head  of 
our  Savior  will  fall  upon  us  as  we 
pray  for  help  to  resist  temptation.

graduated  nurse  opportunity  for  development  of  leadership

back  pages  of  our  minds,  h'he  sole  interpreter  of  Scriptures  must  be 
Scriptures-anything  else  is  a  poor  substihite  of  human  devising. 

The  other  books  of  John  contain  the  message  of  divine  love.  Why 
does  he  dwell  so  much  on  this? 

The  answer  is  simple-the  church  of  his  day  had  lost  this  vital 
Moment,  and  to  restore  it  they  had  to  realize  their  loss.  Love  caused 
the  Tribune  God  to  give  one  of  its  members  in  order  to  save  man  and 
fulfill  His  creation.  This  kind  of  love  is  beyond  mortal  corrorehension, 
and  it  is  the  reality  of  that  love  which  made  the  Christian   /aywhat  it

The  Quiet  Life 

Arranged  As  Poetry  From  Desire  of  Ages. 

The  childhood  and  youth  of  Jesus 

were  spent  in  a  little  mountain  village. 
There  was  no  place  on  earth 

that  would  not  have  been  honored  by  His  presence. 

But  He  passed  by  the  homes  of  wealth, 
the  courts  of  royalty, 
and  the  renowned  seats  of  learning 

to  make  His  home  in  obscured  and  despised  Nazareth. 

As  a  chUd,  Jesus  manifested 

a  peculiar  loveliness  of  disposition, 

a  patience  that  nothing  could  disturb, 

a  truthfulness  that  would  never  sacrifice  integrity, 

the  grace  of  unselfish  courtesy. 

With  deep  earnestness 

the  mother  of  Jesus  watched 
the  unfolding  of  His  powers, 
the  impress  of  perfection  upon  His  character. 
With  delight 
she  sought 

to  encourage  that  bright,  receptive  mind. 
Through  the  Holy  Spirit 
she  received 

wisdom  to  co-operate  with  the  heavenly  agencies 
in  the  development  of  this  child 

who  would  claim  only  God  as  His  Father. 

As  He  grew  in  wisdom  and  stature, 

Jesus  increased  in  favor  with  God  and  man, 
He  drew  the  sympathy  of  all  hearts 

by  showing  Himself  capable  of  sympathizing  with  all. 
The  atmosphere  of  hope  and  courage  that  surrounded  Him 

made  Him  a  blessing  in  every  home. 


His  quiet,  simple  life, 

even  the  silence  of  the  Scriptur 
teach  an  important  lesson. 


;  concerning  His  early  years, 


The  more  quiet  and  simple  the  life  of  the  child,  -- 
the  more  free  from  artificial  excitement, 
the  more  in  harmony  with  nature, --

Softball   Season    Approaches  Finish 


1*°^  Hickman  and  Mobley  played 

'^^  six  innings  with  the  score  knotted 
at  1-1.  In  the  seventh,  Hickman 
scored  once  to  edge  Mobley  2-1. 
Hickman  had  less  fortune  agamst 
Webster  as  Webster  scored  seven 
runs  in  the  first  inning  and  from 
there  it  was  batting  practice  for 
Webster,  16-4. 

Hunt  lost  a  close  one  to  Web- 
ster by  scoring  five  runs  in  the 
seventh  inning  and  still  losmg 
9-8.  It  was  a  lesson  in  futility. 
Whitehead  crushed  Hickman 
14-5.  with  three  big  innmgs. 
Runnells  and  Webster  locked  into 
a  defensive  battle  with  Runnellr 


winning  3-1.  Runnells  also 
stomped  Martling  13-5  with  six 
big  ones  in  the  first  inmng. 
Mobley  and  Hunt  engaged  in  a 
slurfest  as  Mobley  came  out  on 
top  17-14.  Wohlers  creamed 
Hickman,  16-9  in  a  game  that 
wasn't  even  close. 

In  other  games.  Minder  played 
a  laugher  against  Mobley.  beat- 
ing him  21-13  (almost  a  football 
score).  Webster  clipped  by 
Martling  9-8,  as  Webster  scored  3 
and  Martling  scored  4  m  the 
sixth. 

This  is  the  last  week  of  the 
Softball  season.    Webster  is  in  a 


Sports 


good  position  to  finish  ahead  of 
fhe  test  after  the  games  are  tabu- 
lated. 

There  is  a  correction  of  last 
week's  article.  Mosley  was  not 
elected  from  the  game  in  ques- 
tion rather  he  was  warned  twice 
He  left  the  game  as  a  protest 
against  the  officiating. 


Hawaiian 
Flagball 
Begins  Soon 


The  Hawaiian  flagball  football 
season  is  getting  underway.  The 
sign-up  sheet  is  posted  in  the 
gymnasium.  This  year  there  will 
be  two  leagues  --  A  league  and  B 
league. 

Hawaiian  football  is  different 
from  American  standard  football. 
Besides  having  flags  instead  of 
tackling,  the  ball  must  be  passed 
three  times  in  order  to  score  a 
touchdown  on  any  given  play. 
Sign  up  between  5:30  and  7  p.m.

Frisbee  Craze  Hits 
New  Record  Heights 


As  a  sport,  Frisbee  has  come 
into  its  own  in  the  last  10  years. 
Beginning  as  a  simple  game  of 
toss  and  catch,  it  has  advanced  to 
a  highly  skilled  sport.  Players 
rate  classifications  such  as  Mas- 
ter and  World  Class  Master  and  a 
World  Championship  meet  is  held 
annually  at  the  Rose  Bowl.  Com- 
petitive Frisbee  events  from  Free- 
style to  Frisbee  Golf  have  estab- 
lished tournaments  scheduled  a- 
cross  the  country  throughout  the 
year. 
Frisbee  changed  course  with  the 
introduction  of  the  Professional 
model  in  1968,  the  later  founding 
of  the  International  Frisbee  As- 
sociation (now  80,000  members) 
and  codification  of  standards, 
rules  and  regulations  for  Frisbee 
games. 

The  first  IFA  sponsored  World 
Championship  tournament  was 
held  in  1974  and  attracted  over 
100  compefitors  of  Frisbee  Mas- 
ter rank  from  across  the  country. 
Now  an  annual  event,  the  tourna- 
ment offers  World  Championship 
titles  in  :  Overall,  Distance,  Ac- 
curacy, Freestyle,  Frisbee  Golf, 
Ultimate,  and  Guts. 

Frisbee   discs    arc    everywhere 


today.  High  schools  and  universi. 
ties  are  initiating  classes  in  the 
sport,   articles  on  Frisbee  have 
appeared  in  such  magazines  as 
Sports     Illustrated,     Women 
Sports,   and  Time.        Television 
networks  film    major  Frisbee  J 
tournaments  and  newspapers  re.  jL 
port  Frisbee  events  along  with  il 
baseball  and  football. 

A  fast-moving  team  sport  com- 
bining   qualities   of  soccer  and 
basketball.    Played  on  a  field,  ?  I 
players  to  a  team,  the  Frisbee  is 
moved  from  player  to  player  1 
passing.      Goals  are   scored  by  I 
throwing  to  a  team  member  in  the  ll 
end    zone.       Played    intercol-l 
legiately,  interscholastically  andl 
by  various  clubs,  the  1975  Inter.] 
collegiate  Champion  is  RutgetsI 
University. 

A  fast,  furiously  competitivej 
team  sport  in  which  the  Frisbeel 
has  been  clocked  at  nearly  lOgl 
mph.  Two  teams  of  3  players  faiii 
each  other  across  a  15-yard  neil-l 
tral  zone.  The  disc  is  throwil 
across  this  zone,  points  bein|| 
scored  for  wild  throws  or  misse4| 
catches.  Throws  must  be 
cleanly  in  one  hand.

The  Purchasing  Department 
has  added  to  its  stock  the  Swag- 
^^er  Stick.  Thunderball,  Feather- 
vriter.  and  Sundince  pens  and 
icncils  manufactured  by  the 
Vtontana  Blackfoot  lr.be. 

The  supplier  is  the  Blackfeet 
Indian  Writing  Company  deep 
within  "Big  Sky  Country".  . 
Browning,  Montana,  and  for  ''le 
past  six  years  the  tribe  has  been 
measuring  its  capital  in  Thunder- 
ballpens.  Featherw'riter  markers, 
and  Blackfeet  Indian  pencils. 

Eari  Old  Perf.on.  chairman  of 
the  Blackfeet  Tribat  Council,  saw 
that  when  the  summer  tourist 
trade  disappeared,  so  did  most  of 
the  jobs  and  income,  and.  the 
reservation  faced  60  to  70  percent 
unemployment. 

With  major  help  from  the  U.S. 
Small  Business  Administration, 
tribal  funds  were  invested  to  start 
the  business  by  building  a 
120.000  square  foot  plant  and 
equipping  it  with  machinery. 
Prosperity  didn't  swamp   the 


Indians,  but  they  persevered. 
Gradually,    business    picked   up 
and  the  Blackfeet  Indians  began 
writing  new  sales  records.    Now 
80  percent  owned  by  the  Black- 
feet  tribe,    the   company   has   a 
payroll  of  $600,000  annually  and 
operates    on    a    two-shift    basis. 
All  but  one  of  the  factory  em- 
ployees is  either  an  Indian   or 
married  to  a  member  of  the  Black- 
feet tribe.    With  sales  of  some 
$3,000,000  last  year,  the  Black- 
feet firm  numbers  among  its  cus- 
tomers 200  of  Fortune  magazine's 
top  500  companies.     These  in- 
clude General  Motors.  Chast 
Manhattan  Bank.  AT  &  T,   an( 
Western  Electric.     Also,   one  o 
the  tribe's  products  is  now  th' 
official  pen  of  the  U.  S.  Senate.

So,  the  next  time  one  picks  up  a 
Blackfeet  writing  instrument, 
maybe  it  can  be  seen  as  a  product 
of  a  unique  American 
story.

Women's  Wages 

Pacific 
Settles 

Washington,  D.  C.  -  The  Pacif- 
ic Union  Conference  of  the  Sev- 
enth-day Adventist  Church  has 
paid  $650,000  to  settle  federal 
government  charges  that  it  dis- 
criminated against  women  teach- 
ers in  California  Adventist 
schools. 

The  U.S.  Labor  Department 
had  filed  a  complaint  in  Septem- 
ber, 1975,  alleging  violation  of  the 
Fak  Labor  Standards  Act  -  spe- 
cifically that  the  church  did  not 
pay  men  and  women  teachers  and 
administrators  in  California 
equally  for  equal  work. 

m  its  defense,  the  church  ar- 
gued that  Adventist  schools  are 
indispensable  to  and  indivisible 
from  the  church's  total  ministry 
and  therefore  the  suit  was  uncon- 
stitutional government  entangle- 
ment in  religion.  The  church 
made  settlement  without  conced- 
ing government  jurisdiction,  or 
that  it  was  guilty  of  violations  of 
the  law. 

Neal  C.  Wilson,  vice  president 
for  the  church  in  North  America, 
said  of  the  settlement,  "We 
haven't  changed  our  position. 
We  simply  settled,  and  did  so 
without  having  to  concede  juris- 
diction  by   the    Department    of

to  be  honored  by  the  Tennessee 
Nursing  Association  (TNA). 

Shultz  is  the  coordinator  of  the 
second  year  of  the  nursing  pro- 
gram at  Southern  Missionary  Col- 
lege. 

The  TNA  chose  the  24  out- 
standing nurses  from  the  Chat- 
tanooga area  in  conjunction  with 
the  "Year  of  the  Nurse"  concept. 
The  fiscal  year  October  1977 
through  September  1978  has  been 
designated  by  President  Jimmy 
Carter  as  national  "Year  of  the 
Nurse." 

Local  newspaper  write-ups  a- 
bout  the  24  nurses  will  be  appear- 
ing during  the  next  several 
months,  along  with  radio  and 
television  spot  announcements 
noting  the  nurses  and  their  a- 
chievements, 

Shultz  has  been  an  officer  for 
many  years  in  district  four  of  the 
TNA,  which  is  comprised  of  a 
four-county  area  around  Chat-

The  Labor  Department  suit  re- 
ferred to  wages  at  the  California 
schools  from  September,  1972, 
through  June,  1974. 

The  stipulation  for  compliance 
in  the  settlement  provides  that 
the  government  will  use  the 
$650,000  to  pay  teachers  and  ad- 
ministrative personnel  in  all  Cal- 
ifornia Adventist  elementary  and 
secondary  schools  and  Pacific

The  complaint  related  primarily 
to  a  "head-of-household"  pay 
arrangement  which  the  Labor 
Department  alleged  was  unfair  to 
women. 

In  a  separate  settlement  for 
Loma  Linda  University  near  San 
Bernardino,  Calif.,  $6,738  was 
paid  and  affirmation  made  that  its 
policy  of  conformance  with  equal 
pay  provisions  is  being  practiced.

Accreditation  Policies 
Revised  In  Manual 


DRich  Ashlock 

Dr.  Cyril  Futcher.  academic 
dean,  met  at  the  General  Con- 
ference with  three  other  edu- 
cators last  week  for  the  purpose  of 
rewriting  the  SDA  Manual  of  Ac- 
creditation for  Schools.  The  pre- 
sent manual  was  written  several 
years  ago  and  many  adminisfra- 
tors  feel  there  is  too  much  Aia- 
terial  in  it  that  is  already  required 
by  the  regional  accreditation. 

This  GC  committee  consists  of 
Dr.  J.J.  Millet,  chairperson,  and 
Dr.  Charles  Taylor  both  from  the 


GC  Department  of  Education;  Dr. 
Hellen  Evans  of  Southwestern 
Adventist  College;  and  Dr.  Fut- 
cher. 

The  committee  is  revising  the 
manual  so  it  will  contain  only 
material  specifically  dealing  with 
SDA  policies  and  beliefs,  such  as 
the  institutions  and  their  con- 
stituencies, 'administration,  aca- 
demic departments,  religious 
activities,  campus  life  standards, 
and  extracurricular  activities.

DearE^tor. 

1  can  hardly  beUeve  it,  but  it 
looks  like  1  missed  it  againl  That

I  mean,  for  cryin"  in  the  mud, 
didn't  it  ever  dawn  on  some

woiUd  also  like  to  be  able  to  use 
one  of  these  study  "cubicles  lo- 
cated by  a  window  or  in  some

Dear  Editor: 


Could  we  not  endeavor  to  give 
more  accurate  reporting  of  the 
facts  in  our  campus  newspaper? 
My  faith  in  the  credibility  ot  the 
Accent  was  completely  shattered 
as  1  assumed  the  report  headed 
"Cross  Country  Run  Here  Oct. 
16"  in  the  Sept  29  issue  to  be 
factual.  Boy  was  1  surprised!  1 

Accoidbig  to  the  report  "All 
entries  must  pay  $2  in  advance 
and  S2  on  the  day  of  the  race." 

He  Stcta  are  (after  countless 
phone  calls  and  time):  It  you 
register  in  advance  the  fee  is  $2; 
otherwise,  if  you  register  the  day 
of  the  race  it  will  cost  you  $3. 

Accent;  "The  two-mile  course 
set  through  the  student  park  and 
athletic  field..." 

Ihe  facts:  (again  based  on  my 
valuable  time  spent  in  research) 
the  race  is  a  six-mile  race  or  one 


could  choose  to  enter'the  one-mUe 
race,  , 

The  heartbreak  must  be  beyond 
comprehension  of  those  who  had 
their  hopes  set  on  running  two- 
miles  and  paying  $4,  thanks  to  the 
Accent.  I  hereby  recommend  to 
all  Accent  readers  to  take  it  with  a 
grain  of  salt  untU  you  hear  the

The  Eds  wept  as  they  read  your 
letter.  What  can  we  say?  Reuben 
was  consulted  and  vowed  that  his 
source  gave  him  that  info.  Ques- 
tion -  are  supposed  sources  reli- 
able? It's  a  battle  we  constantly 
fight  -  sources  vs.  truth.The  Eds, 
despite  all  appearances,  do  how-

Sotty. 


It  has  come  to  my  attention 
through  the  past  issues  of  The 
Southern  Accent  that  there  are 
some  awfully  tense  people  over 
the  new  dress  code  being  en- 
forced this  year.  I  have  also 
noticed  that  those  who  are  com- 
plaining, the  majority  are  com 
piled  of  men.  . 

Are  they  upset  over  the  girls 
being  aUowed  pants  because  it 
goes  against  Christian^ standards, 
(which  to  my  knowledge  it  does 
not)  or  is  it  because  it  has  re- 
stricted the  men  from  weanng 
jeans  and  overalls  and  T-shirts? 

Which  looks  better  -  sloppy 
men  and  neat  women,  or  both| 
neat  men  and  women?  Are  we 
really  looking  at  things  in  the 
right  perspective?  What  man 
would  want  to  wear  an  outfit  like 
the  types  the  girls  wear  and  still 
have  a  feeling  and  appearance  of 
masculinity? 

Sarah  Purgason 


I  Dear  Editor: 

A  big  bouquet  of  thanks  to  the 
I  Accent  staff  for  a  good  school 
paperl  People  who  have  never 
had  the  pleasure  of  serving  on  the 
staff  just  don't  realize  the  tasks 
involved  in  reporting,  typing, 
proofreading,  deadlines,  etc.  The 
"Fourth  Estate"  has  a  great 
I  bunch  ofalumnifrom  this  college. 

We  need  your  help!  McKee 
Library  is  becoming  a  ratiier  dis- 
mal, difficult  place  to  studyl  The 
problem  ot  noise  has  become 
acutel  Here  it  is  almost  time  for 
mid-term  exams  and  it  is  near  to 
impossible  to  find  a  quiet  place  to 
reily  concentrate  and  ace  out 
those  murderous  tests  that  seem 
to  be  an  attempt  to  produce  super 
students. 


This  is  where  peer  pressure  can 
really  help!  The  staff  here  m  the 
library  can  ask  people  to  be  quiet 
and  even  go  so  far  as  to  ask 
students  to  leave  with  those 
names  being  sent  down  to  the 
Dean  of  Student's  office.  But  we 
believe  that  this  problem  could  be 


solved  by  students  asking  stu- 
dents to  be  quiet  so  those  who 
need  to  study  and  want  to  study, 
can! 

We  should  never  have  to  ask 
people  to  leave  or  to  be  quiet. 
The  study  atmosphere  that  we 
need  up  here  should  come  from 
student  respect  tor  each  other. 
A  lovely  student  center  has  been 
built  for  the  enjoyment  ot  all 
members  of  our  campus  group 
and  should  be  used  more  by  the 
ones  who  seem  to  want  to  use  the 
library  as  a  student  commotion 
center! 


Thank  you  all  for  helping  us 
solve  this  problem!  By  the  way,  1 
am  making  a  request  this  week  to 
Ad  Council  that  the  clocks  over 
the  steps  be  removed  because 
they  have  never  worked  properly

Letters  To  The  Editor 


Dear  Editor: 

chuckle  -  that  does  it  for  me.   Keep  it  upl 

Sincerely, 

Name  Withheld  By  Request

The  Southern  Accent 


Dear  Editor: 

I  have  been  very  pleased  with 
the  content  and  quality  of  the 
Accent  this  year.  You  seem  to  be 
continuing  tiie  same  standards  for 
literary  excellence  started  by  Don 
Jehle. 

As  an  avid  reader,  however,  I 
wonder  if  1  could  put  forth  a 
couple  of  suggestions.    The  first 
suggestion  concerns  the  classified 
section.    This  section  is  a  great 
innovation  on  your  part.    These 
free  ads  (and  messages)  can  be 
helpful  to  the  student  body  in 
finding  out  about  coming  events, 
items  for  sale,  and  general  cam- 
pus gossip.    But  I  do  think  that 
some  ot  the  longer  announcements 
could  be  developed  into  a  full 
story.  Such  classifieds  as  the  one 
last  week  telling  of  a  Friday  night 
campfire  and  worship  service 
could  easily  be  incorporated  into  a 
story,  and  thus  save  more  room 
for  regular,  normal,  specific  clas- 
sified ads. 


ing  "letteti  to  the  editor"  was 
thoroughly  stated.  But  where  is 
the  policy  on  signing  the 
editorial?  The  Accent  states  that 
if  a  letter  is  worth  sending,  the 
the  sender  should  sign  it.  The 
implication  was  that  the  sender 
should  not  be  ashamed  of  the 
views  he/she  puts  forth.  By  the 
same  token,  the  editors  shouldn't 
be  ashamed  of  the  editorial  they 
send  to  the  student  body. 

Thank  you  tor  considering 
these  suggestions,  and  I  will  con- 
tinue looking  forward  to  the  next 
issue  of  The  Southern  Accent. 
Ray  Hartwell 


Dear  Editor: 

In  reply  to  your  comments  last 
week  about  the  Coil  of  Cable,  I 
would  like  to  make  a  couple  of 
comments.  ,#l.The  CoU  of  Cable' 
has  been  in  its  perspective  place 
no  more  than  one  year  instead  of 
tiie  two  years  you  suggested. 

#2.  You  referred  to  Grounds 
department  as  being  slow  and 
lazy  about  not  moving  the  coil. 
This  is  not  their  business.  The 
coil  is  under  the  computer  depart- 
ment and  they  should  be  the  ones 
to  take  care  of  it. 

Maybe  in  the  future  you  can  get 
the  facts  first,  then  suggest. 

Steven  Kuhlman 


StaMbov: 


Ed.  Note: 

The  Eds  usually  write  the  edi- 
torials together;  therefore  we  feel 
no  burden  to  attach  a  name  to 
each  one.  Sometimes  one  writes, 
the  other  polishes,  or  one  comes 
up  with  ideas,  the  other  develops. 


My  second  suggestion  comei 
from  following  your  editorials. 
I  appreciate  the  editorials  this 
year  as  they  seem  well  thought 
out.  But  I,  as  a  student,  as  a 
subscriber  to  the  Accent,  as  a 
weekly  reader,  would  like  to  know 
just  who  it  was  that  wrote  the 
editorial.   The  policy  about  sign- 


Dear  Editor: 

Just  a  note  to  say  thank  you  for 
malting  the  editorials  enjoyable  to 
read.  I  am  sure  the  students  will 
always  remember  them,  along 
with  the  Coil  of  Cablel 


Thanks, 

Vanessa  Greenleaf

Campus    Poets 
Form   New     Club 


DKathy  Oakley 

A  poetry  club  has  just  recently 
been  organized  on  SMC  campus, 
according  to  James  Boyd,  junior 
English  major. 

This  club  stems  from  a  Twen- 
tieth Cenhiry  Writers  dass  that 
was  taught  by  Dr.  Minon  Hamm,

the  Collegedale  Medical  Center  taught  by  Marilyn  Montgomery. 


Oct.  31-Nov 

Directed  by  Dr.  John  Sines,  Dr. 
Wally  Kutzner,  Dr.  Harold  Mes- 
singer,   and   Elder  Jim   Her- 


Positions  are  still  available  for 
students  who  wish  to  participate. 
Contact  Johnny  Lazor,  CABL 
director,  at  4673  or  2214. 


The  cost  is  $11  per  delegate. 
This  will  cover  only  the  cost  of 
food.  The  Union  will  be  responsi- 
ble for  the  expense  of  lodging  and 
SMC  will  provide  transportation 
to  the  conference. 

According  to  Chaplain  Jim 
Herman,  this  Bible  Conference 

wDl  provide  some  "real  meat"  so 

the  students  will  gain  a  deeper 

understanding  of  the  Bible. 
Persons  interested  in  attending 

the  Bible  Conference  should  place 

their  names  on  the  sign-up  sheets      C-lKAA     R,     Fl  A 

provided  in  the  dorms  and  at  the      ^'""^     "-*     '   '-'^ 

chaplain's  office.      Delegates 

wishing  to  attend  are  asked  to 

sign  up  no  later  than  Friday  so 

that  the  list  may  be  sent  to  the 

Union  office. 
Delegates  will  need  to  bring 

their  own  sleeping  bags  or  bed- 

*^ing,    and   remember   to   bring 

warm  clothes  with  them.  Married 

couples  who  are  planning  to  at- 
tend should  be  advised  that  there 

are  no  provisions  made  for  hus- 
bands and  wives  at  the  camp. 

Unless  a  tent  is  brought,  married 

couples  will  stay  in  separate  lodg- 


SDA  ACCREDITATION  MANUAL  cent,  from  p.l__ 

When  tht  revision  is  finished  in      committee  before  they  arrive 
November,    the   committee   will      "  .  .       -     .      - 

submit  the  manual  to  the  SDA 
Board  of  Regency  for  approval. 

With  these  revisions  will  also 
come  new  conditions  which  must 
be  met  before  the  regional  ac- 
creditation committee  can  come 
to  a  school.  All  material  sub- 
mitted to  the  regional  committee, 
plus  any  additional  material 
which  is  required  by  the  new 
manual,  will  be  sent  to  each 
member  of  the  accreditation 


the  campus  of  the  school  to  be  ac- 
credited. Also,  SDA  accreditation 
will  come  every  five  years  instead 
of  every  ten  years. 

These  revisions  should  save  all 
schools  coming  up  for  accredita- 
tion considerable  time  and 
money. 


In  this  class,  the  students  had 
m  opportunity  to  bring  in  their 
own  poetry,  and  the  class  would 
then  discuss  and  analyze  each 
poem. 

The  students  felt  like  they 
gained  real  insight  from  these 
discussions,  so  it  was  decided 
that  they  continue,  and  thus  the 
Poetry  Club  was  formed. 

The  club  will  be  meeting  every 
other  Wednesday  evening  at  6 
p.m.  The  next  meeting  will  be 
November  2. 

Boyd  stated  that  ii  mainly  is  a 
time  to  come  and  relax,  to  discuss 
and  gain  insights  into  life  and 
people  through  poetry. 

He  went  on  to  say  that  those 
wishing  to  have  their  poetry  dis- 
cussed should  give  it  to  either 
Debbie  Gainer,  himself,  or  turn  it 
in  to  the  English  department  by 
the  Tuesday  before  the  next 
scheduled  meeting.    Each  poem 


they  will  discuss  will  be  dupli- 
cated so  that  every  member  can 
have  a  copy. 

Dr.  Hamm  and  Miss  Evelyn 
Lindberg  will  be  at  some  of  the 
meetings  to  lead  out  in  the  dis- 
cussions. 

Allwhoare  interested  in  poetry 
are  welcome  to  attend  any  of  the 
meetings. 

Nicaraguans 
Lose    2400 
Teeth 

D  Roland  Joy    , 

A  group  of  dental  students 
from  Loma  Linda's  School  of  Den- 
istry  visited  the  Tasba  Raya  Mis- 
sion in  Nicaragua  in  September. 
2.400  teeth  were  exteacted  and 
250  teeth  filled. 

The  team  was  transported  a- 

;ong  the  Coco  River,  which  is  a 

boundary  between  Nicaragua  and 

Honduras,  by  the  Nicaragua 

Air  Force. 

A  plan  for  eye  care  is  currently 
being  negotiated  by  the  Nicar- 
agua Mission  committee  with  a 
group  of  optometrists.  The  com- 
mittee has  high  expectations  for 
conducting  an  eye  care  plan  such 
as  the  dental  care  plan  that  Loma 
Linda  provides.

President  Frank  Knittel  and 
Kenneth  Spears,  dirp'-tor  of  ad- 
missions, returned  recently  from 
Greater  Miami  and  Forest  Lake 
Academies,  where  they  had  a 
special  dinner  with  the  faculties 
of  each  academy. 

"These  trips,"  Dr.  Knittel  ex- 
plained, "are  primarily  for  keep- 
ing in  touch  with  the  different 
academies.  We  go  in  and  spend 
time  with  each  of  the  classes."

news.  What  is  garbage  and  what 
-  is  not?  They  are  the 
weeder-outters,  the 
mistake-spotters,  and  the  article 
chopper-uppers.  They  view 
everything  with  the  critical  eye  of 
the  reader.  Our  news  must 
remain  credible  and  easily 
readable.  ^

of  our  whole  operation. 
Everything  must  be  typed, 
obviously.  These  two.  Pam 
Legere  (top  left)  and  Den

total  of  10  hours  a  week  behind 
our  computer  typesetter  alone. 
This  "compugraphic"  lines  up 
the  right  and  left  margins  for  any

like  an  egg"  is  our  motto. 
A  very  touchy  machine.  Much 
goes  wrong  and  always. 
Maintenance  costs  are 
exasperating.  One  roll  of

^Mj^     Weighing  Anchor 
For  Madison  Isle 


nrnnday,  October  20, 1977  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  -  7 


At  the  crack  of  dawn,  the  troop 
was  making  the  final  preparations 
for  our  long  journey  to  Madison 
Island. 

Led  by  our  faithful  leader,  Cap- 
tain Elder  Herman,  we  pushed 
00,  rubbing  the  sleep  from  our 
eyes. 

And  we're  off.  Up  and  down 
the  rolling  hills,  'round  the  bams, 
and  between  patches  of  daffo- 
dills,  on  our  way  from  one  end  of 
the  day  to  the  other. 


Off  the  sea  of  highways,  our 
ship  cast  into  port,  to  lend  the 
natives  some  Christian  support. 

The  sabbath  school  and  church 
were  in  pleasant  surroundings  as 
the  people  worshipped  the  same 


God  harmoniously.  After  that,  it 
was  time  to  eat.  Spaghetti  and 
potatoe  salad  seemed  to  make  for 
a  very  festive  occasion.  The  acti- 
vity planned  next  was  a  hike 
around  the  native  land  to  explore 
the  grounds  and  see  the  sights. 
Some  of  us  chose  to  catch  up  on 
our  sleep  for  our  sabbath  "lay 
activities.'* 

When  all  the  people  got  back 
from  the  hike,  I  was  just  waking 
up  and  noticed  that  for  some 
strange  reason  the  people  seemed 
to  be  predominantly  in  groups  of 
twos.  And  they  all  looked  quite 
happy  and  healthy  and  hungry  all 
over  again.  After  supper  and  ice 
cream,  everyone  was  stuffed,  and 
'i_t,was  game  time. 

By  this  time  the  rain  was  really 


pouring  down-but  that  didn't 
dampen  the  spirits  of  the  is- 
landers. Some  braved  the  rain 
and  thunder  while  others  remained 
secure  indoors  and  played  games 
such  as  snake  writing,  saint  mat- 
thew,  wink'em-by  far  the  most 
popular. 

By  the  way,  departure  time  was 
at  22  hundred  hours  (10  p.m.)  but 
we  didn't  leave  till  24  hundred 
hours  which  tells  me  that  every- 
one was  really  having  a  fine  time 
and  that  we  all  would  like  to  come 
back  again  ASAP  (as  soon  as 
possible). 

Our  land  ship  weaved  and 
bobbed  on_  ^e_sea— of— roads^ 
covered  with  darkness,  headed 
for  home.  We  got  there  at  4 
hundred  hours  or  so,  and  had 
pleasant  dreams  of  returning. 


Identify 

Christ  saves  men, 
Not  in  sin, 

but  from  sin; 
And  those  who  love  Him 

will  show  their  love 
by  obedience. 

All  true  obedience 

comes  from  the  heart. 
It  was  heart  work 

with  Christ. 

And  if  we  consent, 

He  will  so  identify  Himself 

with  our  thoughts  and  aims, 
so  blend  our  hearts  and  minds 
into  conformity  to  His  will, 
That  when  obeying  Him 

we  shall  be  but  carrying  out 
our  own  impulses.

Living  Stones  Or  Stumbling  Blocks? 


Suffering  was  the  keynote  ■of 
the  Christian  Way  as  it  entered 
the  second  century.  It  remained 
faithful  even  unto  death  because 
its  focus  centered  on  the  source  of 
life.  The  Empire  could  terminate 
its  existence,  but  it  could  never 
extinguish  the  reality  of  a  living 
Christ  in  the  hearts  of  His  fol- 
lowers. 

Satan  realized  that  his  method 
of  force  could  never  prevail 
against  this  reality.  It  was  too 
valuable  to  sacrifice  for  a  tem- 
poral shadow  that  would  soon 
fade  in  the  dust  of  yesterday. 
Calling  a  high  council  Satan  and 
his  angels  decided  upon  a  new 
course  to  pursue  toward  the  Way. 

Being  surrounded  by  a  pagan 
atmosphere,  the  Way  found  its 
only  safety  in  total  dependency  on 
the  Wordof  Yahweh.  This  word 
became  the  foundation  of  belief 
and  practice;  it  was  the  divine 
criterion  for  all  experience  and 
teaching.  As  long  as  they  main- 
tained this  relationship,  they 
were  beyond  the  reach  of  Satan. 

Satan  began  his  subtle  process 


of  syncretism  as  the  persecution 
began  to  die.  Syncretism  was  his 
method  of  combining  the  sacred 
and  profane  into  one  religion. 
Compromise  and  conformity  were 
its  two  key  components. 

As  the  Way  advanced  into  the 
third  and  fourth  centuries,  it  be- 
gan to  loose  its  uniqueness.  It 
drifted  away  from  its  moorings, 
lost  its  foundation  based  on  the 
word,  and  started  to  float  in  the 
bogs  of  human  invention. 

The  Way  became  the  pride  of 
the  Empire.  It  received  all  the 
honors  and  glories  that  mortal 
man  could  lavish,  yet  the  portrait 
of  Jesus  faded  more  and  more 
from  the  lives  of  those  following 
the  Way.  To  take  their  eyes  from 
the  eternal  glory  and  to  focus 
them  on  the  ephemeral  glory  was 
to  become  like  the  world. 

Embarking  on  its  longest  voy- 
age, the  Way  found  itself  in  a 


millennium  of  change.  Like 
Judaism  before  it,  it  began  to 
increase  cerepionies  and  outward 
displays  of  glory  in  a  panorama 
that  dazzled  the  senses,  but  it  had 
lost  the  vital  principles  of  godli- 
ness in  its  attainment  to  world 
recognition. 

It  became  a  burden  to  the 
people  and  a  court  of  licentious- 
ness for  the  world.  The  darkness 
of  the  age  reflected  itself  in  the 
lives  of  those  who  composed  its 
structure. 

The  living  stones  died  as  the 
Spirit  left  the  house  to  its  own 
building.  The  house  was  beauti- 
ful from  all  views,  but  the  sim- 


plicity of  the  humble  Galilean 
found  no  longer  a  place  to  live; 
the  progress  of  the  Way  had  left 
the  Way  as  He  watched  with  tears 
the  growing  bondage  of  His 
people  in  the  spiritual  night  which 
could  have  no  dawn. 

From  time  to  time  gleams  of 
light  touched  the  darkness,  but 
the  darkness  always  regained  its 
sableness.  Those  who  chose  to 
live  the  life  of  Christ  paid  for  it  by 
suffering  torture,  imprisonment, . 
.  bandishment  and  death.  Satan's 
masterpiece  was  perfected  as  he 
revealed  what  he  could  do,  and 
the  watching  universe  wept. 

Unknovm  to  all'^the  sparks  of 


light  that  were  continually  dying 
in  the  darkness, were  preparing  a 
path  of  light  to  the  Word  of  God 
which  had  become  a  book  in  an 
unknown  tongue,  chained  to  walls 
of  stone  in  monastic  centers. 
These  centers  became  part  of  the 
vast  system  of  human  works  as 
the  way  of  salvation  became  man- 
centered. 

Yahweh,  Lord  of  history  and 
man,  saw  all  of  this.  He  knew 
that  the  time  had  come  for  Him  to 
prove  the  reality  of  His  world  to 
transform  lives  in  this  time  of 
great  spiritual  ignorance.  This 
was  His  hour  as  Satan  watched  to 
see  what  his  antagonist  would  do..

Mobley  and  Martling  played  a 
close  one  Wednesday  night,  as 
yours  truly  saw  it. 

Martling  had  jumped  out  to  an 
11-0  lead  in  the  first  three  in- 
nings. Suddenly,  Mobley's  bats 
came  alive.  Four  runs  here,  three 
runs  there,  it  all  adds  up. 
The  score  was  17-0  in  the  fifth 
innings  with  Martling  still  pro- 
ducing runs.  In  the  sixth.  Mobley 
tallied  eight  runs  to  pass  Martling 
18-17.     In  the  seventh  inning. 


Mobley  added  4  insurance  runs 
and  Martling  scorfcd  once.  The 
final  score  was  22-18  and 
Mobley's  bats  were  steaming. 
Wohlers  team  was  waiting  tor 
their  turn  to  play  Mobley. 

The  temperature  had  dropped 
to  about  45  degrees  F.  This  might 
have  had  its  effect  because 
Mobley's  hot  bats  strangely 
cooled  down  to  a  tepid  degree. 
Wohlers  team  was  swinging  the 
big  bat  this  time  as  they  steam- 
rolled  over  Mobley  20-7.

Runnels  made  up  a  deficit  of 
.100  percentage  points^  by  win- 
ning 6  out  of  his  last  9  games, 


after  playing  .500  ball  midway 
through  the  season. 

These  are  the  names  of  the

Matt  Nafie. 

Congratulations   to   all    the 
teams  for  a  final  season. 


Tedd  enjoyed  a  lead  for  most  of 
the  season.  He  commented  on 
the  officiating  as  being  "good" 
for  the  most  part.  The  only 
problem  arose  when  the  official 
was  out  of  position  to  get  a  good 
look  at  the  play. 

Tedd  was  also  an  official.  The 
officiating  class  and  others 
"called"  the  games  with  few  in- 
cidents of  unsportsmanlike  con- 
duct being  recorded.  The  players 
themselves  enjoyed  the  season.

Adventisfs  Say  No  To

CoUegedale,  Tenn. 


Washington.   D.C.  -  For  the 

third  consecutive  year  a  proposal 
to  ordain  women  to  the  ministry 
of  the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Church  was  set  aside  by  the 
highest  administrative  body  of

In  Annual  Council  last  week  the

TCFD  Rescues 
Contaminated 
Air  Victims 

DTeresa  Shaw 

Tri-Community  Fire  Depart- 
ment (TCFD)  responded  to  a  call 
at  Harrison  Elementary  School 
Wednesday,  Oct.  12.  A  natural 
gas  leak  had  contaminated  the 
air  causing  many  children  to  pass 
out. 

The  TCFD  rescue  squad  and 
one  engine  answered  the  8:35 
a.m.  call.  Firemen  arriving  on 
the  scene  began  administering 
cardio-pulmonary  resuscitation  to 
some  of  the  victims.  'One  hun- 
dred children  were  transported  to 
Childrens  Hospital  where  they 
were  treated  and  released,  with 
the  exception  of  three  victims  who 
were  hospitilized  overnight  for 
observation. 

Other  fire  departments  that  re- 
sponded to  the  call  and  aided  in 
transporting  the  children  were

recommendation'." 

The  associates  in  pastoral  care 
will  carry  either  a  missionary 
license  or  ultimately  a  missionary 
credential  from  the  denomina- 
tion. 

Robert  H.  Pierson,  president  of 
the  General  Conference  of 
Seventh-day  Adventists,  explain- 
ed that  ' '  any  position  in  the 
Adventist  church  not  requiring 
ordination  to  the  gospel  ministry 
is  open  to  women  who  are  mem- 
bers of  the  church."  The  denom- 
ination is  making  a  definite  effort 
to  include  more  women  on  its 
decision- making  bodies  and  in 
positions  of  responsibility.  Dr. 
Pierson  explained  that  "for 
several  years  this  subject  has 
been  under  review  by  church 
leaders  and  theologians  from 
many  nations,  both  male  and  fe- 
male. Currently  we  find  no  in- 
spired evidence  supporting  the 
ordination  of  women  to  the  gospel 
ministry. 

"As  a  church  we  must  move 
forward  unitedly  on  such  an  im- 
portant matter.  Thus  far,"  he 
added  "all  divisions  of  the  world 
church  including  North  America, 
feel  that  we  are  not  ready  to  make 


The  council,  which  draws  dele- 
gates from  the  ten  world  divisions 
of  fhe  church,  also  took  action 
designed  to  "safeguard  the  integ- 
nty  of  the  ministry."  It  expanded 
its  earlier  requirements  for  min- 
isters to  be  men  of  high  moral 
standards,  adhering  strictly  to  the 
biblical  Ten  Commandments. 

The  new  statement  enlarged 
upon  the  interpretation  of  the 
seventh  commandment,  '  'Thou 
shalt  not  commit  adultery."  It 
indicated  that  "violations  involv- 
mg  sexual  perversions"  would 
make  void  a  pastor's  ordination  to 
the  sacred  office  of  the  ministry.

Progress  can  finally  be  seen

"The  gravel-covered  surface  you

Lost  Races  Rediscovered  In 
Noorbergen's  New  Book 


DDebra  Gainer 

Rene  Noorbergen,  SMC's 
«Titer-in-residence,  has  recently 
published  his  eighth  book.  Se- 
crets ot  the  Lost  Races. 

The  book  concerns  the  increas- 
ing number  of  mysterious  archae- 
ological and  historical  findings 
classified  as  "out-of-place  arti- 
facts" looparts).  These  ooparts 
display  a  technological  sophistica- 
tion amazingly  far  bevond  th" 
known  capabilities  of  the  ancient 
peoples.  Two  examples  cited  in 
the  book:  a  Hindu  iccount  of  an 
:  bomb  detonation  '.ii  ?^00 
B.C.,  and  a  pla 
puter  found  in  ancient  tjret.,. 

Noorbergen  theorizes  that 
thwe  were  once  civilizations  with 
technology  beyond  that  of  otir 
own  dav.  He  logically  contends 
that  the  loss  of  this  knowledge 
was  partially  due  to  the  decreas- 
ing length  of  generations  after  the 
flood  and  before  the  invention  of  a

some  indication  of  a  fusion  be- 
tween technological  and  occult 
powers  which  led  to  the  destruc- 
tion of  these  civilizations. 

Research  for  this  book  took 
about  five  years.  Joey  Jochmans 
from  Nebraska  collaborated  with 
Noorbergen  on  research,  all  ot 
which  was  done  in  the  USA, 
excepting  the  eariier  Noah's  Ark 
expeditions. 

The  book  is  scheduled  to  come 
out  this  week.  Noorbergen  will  be 
introducing  it  at  Southwestern 
Adventist  College  in  Keene,  Tex- 
as, with  lectures  and  autograph 
sessions.  Then  next  week, 
Noorbergen  will  attend  an  auto- 
graph session  at  the  T.H.  Payne 
bookstore  in  Chattanooga.  He  is 
also  scheduled  for  several  local 
radio  and  TV  shows  and  news- 
paper interviews.

might  repent  of  his  offense  and  be 
rebaptized  as  a  church  member,

In  further  action  the  council 
categorized  "homosexual  prac- 
tices" as  "a  violation  of  the 
divine  intention  in  marriage. 
•  As  such,  the  council  declared, 
"They  are  just  cause  for  di- 
vorce." Heretofore,  the  church 
has  held  adultery  to  be  the  only 
acceptable  cause  for  divorce. 
With  this  action  it  interprets  the 
term  "adultery"  to  include  homo- 
sexual activities.

Inter-Collegiate  Circles  Of  Prayer 


DMykal  Ringstaff 

The  college  MV/CABL  direct- 
ors from  the  North  American 
Division  met  for  a  few  days  last 
spring  at  Glacier  View  Ranch  in 
Colorado  and  decided  to  set  up 
intercollegiate  prayer  weeks. 

Elder  Larry  Wilson,  chaplain  at 
Southwestern  Adventist  College, 
shared  the  success  he  was  having 
at  SAC  with  prayer  request  cards 
and  voted  that  the  colleges  begin 
a  prayer  circle  on  a  quarterly 
basis. 

It  was  suggested  that  a  sched- 
ule be  set  up  whereby  each  of  the 
colleges  would  be  prayed  for  by 


'WAR'   In 
Summer  our 
Hall    105 

DKathy  Oakley 

The  CoUegedale  Home  Eco- 
nomics Association  is  sponsoring 
a  skit,  "War  of  the  Words"  on 
Wednesday,  Nov.  2,  at  5:30  p.m. 
in  Summerour  Hall,  room  105. 

The  skit  will  be  put  on  by  a 
volunteer  group  from  the  Com- 
munity Services  of  Chattanooga. 

It  is  a  play  done  to  show  how 
family  relations  can  affect  each 
member  of  a  family. 


another  each  week  of  the  quarter. 
Since  there  are  13  weeks  in  the 
quarter  and  also  13  colleges,  it 
wasn't  to  difficult  to  devise  a 
schedule  with  each  college  being 
prayed  for  each  week. 

According  to  Mike  Roland,  on- 
campus  ministries  director,  "The 
specific  purpose  of  the  prayers 
belAveen  the  colleges  is  to  bring 
us  into  union  with  their  students, 
and  this  in  turn  will  enable  the 


Holy  Spirit  to  work  in  a  very  broad 
way  for  the  good  of  all  the 
colleges."  Continuing,  Roland 
added  that  the  prayers  would  be  a 
continuing  cycle  on  a  year-round 
basis. 

Each  week  during  Sabbath 
School,  the  college  to  be  prayed 
for  will  be  announced.  There  will 
be  special  prayer  also  during  the 
afterglow  following  Friday  eve-

Tri  Beta  Camps  Out 


Student  Voices  On 
Faculty  Committees 


DDebra  Gainer 

Beta  Beta  Beta  (Tri  Beta), 
SMC*s  biology  club  will  be  going 
on  a  campout  Oct.  28-30.  They 
will  set  up  camp  by  Lake  Cona- 
sauga,  up  in  the  Georgia  moun- 
tains. A  local  naturalist,  Mrs. 
DeGioia,  will  accompany  the 
group  to  show  them  the  points  of 
biological  interest  in  the  area. 

Tri  Beta  is  an  international 
society  for  undergraduate  stu- 
dents of  biology.  It  has  a  three- 
fold emphasis:  stimulation  of 
scholarship,  dissemination  of 
scientific  knowledge,  and  promo- 
tion of  biological  research.  The 
Society,  founded  in  1922,  now  has 
well  over  50,000  members  all  over 
the  United  States  and  Puerto 
Rico. 

The  SMC  chapter  of  Tri  Beta 
usually  has  from  20-30  members. 
Requirements  for  membership 


are:  a  3.0  GPA  in  biology  as  well 
as  a  3.0  GPA  overall;  also,  appli- 
cants must  have  taken  Founda- 
tions of  Biology  and  one  upper 
division  biology  course. 

The  club  sponsors  campouts, 
such  as  the  one  this  weekend, 
occasional  meetings  and  general 
promotion  of  biology.  One  of 
their  ongoing  projects  has  been 
upgrading  of  the  campus  biology 
trail.  Their  big  event  of  the  year 
will  come  in  March,  when  one  of 
the  world's  top  ecologists  will  be 
coming  to  conduct  a  seminar. 

Clarence  Carr,  senior  Biology 
major,  is  president  of  Tri  Beta. 
His  other  officers  are  Georgette 
Finley.Jo  Lynn  Hawthornc.Vance 
Boddy  and  Ann  Foster.  Dr.  David 
Steen,  biology  professor,  is  spon- 
sor of  the  club.

THE  ROAD  cont.  from  p.  1 

of  the  road  over  the  hill  is  now 
ready  for  pugmil  and  will  have 
two  full  12-foot  lanes  with  6-foot 
shoulders.  An  almost  verticle 
grade  of  148  feet  has  been  cut  into 
the  hill  by  bulldozers  to  form  a 
wide,  slowly  descending,  banked 
highway  info  CoUegedale.  "This 
was  an  enormous  project  for  a  city 
of  our  size",  City  Mayor  Bowen 
said.  A  major  problem,  Holland 
said,  was  the  amount  of  rainfall  in 
September.  An  estimated  20 
inches  of  rain  was  by  no  means 
close  to  the  usual  3  inches  receiv- 


ed in  September. 

Because  of  rain  and  mud,  work- 
men last  month  were  only  able  to 
put  in  4  1/2  days  of  work. 
Moving  utilities,  working  around 
water  lines,  gas  mains,  and  elec- 
trical lines,  and  waiting  for  sup- 
plies have  also  been  a  source  of 
delay.  Bowen  commented,  "We 
have  appreciated  the  understand 
ing  and  cooperation  of  our  com- 
munity while  the  road  was  being 
built,  even  though  there  have 
been  numerous  problems  and  set- 
backs encountered" 


Present  Church  Organ  A  Model  Of  Things  To  Come 


DJerry  Dick  Lien 

In  the  chancel  of  the  College- 
dale  church  now  stands  a  small 
pipe  organ,  too  big  to  be  a  toy, 

This  is  not  the  organ  that  will 
be  placed  permanently  in  the 
church.  But  the  installation  of  a 
new  one  is  still  somewhere  in  the 
indefinite  future.  The  new  organ 
will  be  a  larger  model  of  the 
present  small  one. 

In  the  meantime,  the  little 
Brombaugh  tracker  organ,  which 
was  originally  to  be  installed  in 
the  music  department,  is  serving 
the  church. 

Because  this  instrument  was 
built  to  fulfill  the  basic  needs  of  a 
small  congregation,  it  has  only 
one  manual  keyboard  and  pedals 
with  all  pipes  in  one  case. 


The  organ  has  336  pipes.  Of 
theses,  17  are  made  of  American 
white  oak.  Nine  of  the  largest  of 
these  stand  at  the  back  of  the 
organ. 

The  remaining  pipes  are  in  the 
upper  case  and  are  made  of  a  cast 
alloy  of  about  98  per  cent  lead 
with  some  tin,  antimony,  copper, 
and  bismuth. 

The  casework  is  made  of  hand- 
planed  white  oak  fumed  in  strong 
ammonia.  This  accelerated  what 
would  have  been  accomplished  by 
natural  again. 

The  upper  panels  are  of  west- 
em  red  cedar,  a  very  stable  wood 
with  lively  acoustical  properties. 

Pipe  mouth  moldings,  and  key 
nosings  are  gilded  with  23-carat 


Enrollment  IncreaseBrings 
$50,000  To  Nursing  Dept 


□Mark  Rumsey 

The  Division  of  Nursing  has 
received  notification  of  award  of 
nearly  $50,000  in  capitation 
grants  from  the  Department  of 
Health,  Education,  and  Welfare. 
Qualification  for  the  grants  is 
based  on  enrollment  increase 
over  the  1974  base  year. 

The  amount  of  the  grants  is 
calculated  according  to  the  num- 


ber and  classification  of  students. 
Two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  is 
allowed  for  each  two-year  stu- 
dent, and  $400  for  each  full-time 
B.S.  degree  student. 

The  income  from  the  federal 
grants  may  be  used  for  such 
expenses  as  an  extra  teacher's 
salary.  The  funds  may  not  be 
spent  for  capital  improvement. 


gold  leaf.  The  naturals  of  the 
manual  keyboards  are  plated  with 
cow  shinbones. 

The  manual  sharps  and  key- 
table  moldings  are  from  African 
ebony.  The  keycheeks  and  stop 
Jtnobs  are  from  zebrawood,  the 
pedal  sharps  from  Brazilian  rose- 


wood,  the  pedal  naturals  from 
maple,  and  the  keyboard  and 
trackers  are  from  sugar  pine. 

The  windchests  and  bellows  are 
made  of  sugar  pine,  white  oak, 
western  red  cedar,  and  sheep  and 
cow  leather.  The  pipe  shades  are 
hand  carved  from  basswood. 


Because  of  its  size,  the  fracker 
organ  is  ideal  for  small  churches 
and  teaching  studios.  The  instru- 
ment in  the  CoUegedale  Church 
will  find  a  permanent  home  in  the 
projected  new  music  building,  the 
construction  of  which  is  tenta- 
tively set  to  begin  next  spring. 


Senate    To    Act   On  New 
Pass  -  Fail   Grading  Proposal 


D  Vanessa  Greenleaf 

A  Pass-Fail  bill  was  presented 
to  the  Student  Senate  to  be  voted 
on  Nov.  1. 

The  proposal  of  the  bill,  spon- 
sored by  Ken  Rogers,  president 
of  the  Student  Association,  is  to 
present  before  the  adminisfration 
the  following: 

THE  BILL:  A  notation  of  "P" 
signifies  that  a  student  has 
earned  a  grade  of  C-  or  higher  in  a 
course,  but  that  he  does  not  wish 
to  have  that  grade  computed  on 
his  grade  point  average.  The 
student  may  arrange  with  his 
instructor  to  receive  a  listing  of 
"P"  at  any  time  during  the  sem- 
ester, but  not  later  than  the  day  of 
the  final  exam.  The  maximum 
number  of  hours  for  credit  with  a 
"P"  notation  for  which  a  student 
may  apply  toward  graduation  is 
12  hours  for  the  baccalaureate 


degree  and  6  hours  for  the  associ- 
ate degree.  The  12  and  6  hour 
maximums  do  not  include  those 
courses  which  are  available  only 
on  a  Pass-No  credit  basis.  The 
Pass  option  is  not  applicable  to 
those  courses  required  for  thje 
major,  minor,  or  teaching 
credentials. 

"Many  students  on  campus  are 
endeavoring  to  keep  their  GPA 
very  high  due  to  the  admissions 
requirements  to  medical  and 
graduate  schools,"  stated  Ro- 
gers. "And  in  attempting  to  do 
this,  many  classes  of  general  in- 
terest to  them  must  be  passed  by 
due  to  their  class  load  or  the 
degree  of  difficulty  that  would 
make  it  nearly  impossible  to  make 
the  grade  required  to  keep  a  high 
GPA." 


Also,  many  other  students 
would  like  to  have  a  general 
knowledge  in  various  areas  out- 
side of  their  major  or  minor  but  do 
not  have  the  full  amount  of  time 
to  devote  to  a  particular  class.

Editorial 


The  (trades  come  out.  There  sits  UtUe  Albert  Average  mulling  on 
the  steps  of  Lyim  Wood  Hall  (before  it  burned  down  -  see  letter  to  the 
editor)  Whit's  the  problem?  Albert  got  a  D  m  Theoretical  Mudpies 
n.  Too  bad.   Should  have  studied  harder. 

But  wait  ...  is  that  the  answer,  or  is  there  more?  Why  d.dn  t 
Albert  study  harder?  Is  there  another  problem  that  isn  t  evident  on 
the  surface,  one  that  is  just  as  heavy  as  the  study  habits?  There  could 
be.  you  know.  „ 

Many  students  go  through  classes  domg  what  we  would  call 
■■average".  These  undergraduates  aren't  slow,  dumb,  or  lazy. 
Their  problem  is  ooe  of  motivation.  For  example:  Albert  got  a  D  m 
themudpied.«s.  Dumb,  you  say?  Maybe  lazy?  Well,  what  about 
the  A  be  got  in  Intercontinental  Applications  of  Unrealistic 
Paradigms?  It's,  <*^OBs-be1sii't  dumb,  so  what's  the  reason  for  the 
poor  grade  in  mudpie-making  ? 

The  pmblem  must  be  one  of  motivation.  Albert  hated  mudpie 
tbectetics  with  a  passion  (he  burned  his  book  two  weeks  into  the 
semester  during  a  fit  of  mudslinging.)  He  just  couldn't  see  the  sense 
in  it  But  on  the  other  hand,  he  ate  Unrealistic  Paradigms  for 
breakfast  every  day.  There  was  something  about  it  that  drew  him  like 
a  magnet 

Motivation.  It  plays  a  major  p»rt  in  any  course  of  study,  but  how 
do  we  get  it? 

There  is  much  talk  aboat  the  responsibilities  of  the  students  in 
academic  societies,  but  what  about  the  responsibilities  of  the 
teachers?  Ask  someone  about  a  class,  and  you  can  be  certain  that  the 
teacher  will  play  a  primary  role  in  determining  the  interest  that 
student  has  in  the  subject  being  taught.  Ask  their  grade  in  the  class, 
and  the  relationship  may  become  even  more  apparent.  The  attitudes 
and  actions  of  a  teacher  toward  the  subject  he  teaches  can  make  or 
break  a  student  with  borderline  motivation.  It  then  becomes  a  task 
for  the  teacher,  as  well  as  the  student,  to  arouse  the  desire  to  learn. 
The  classroom  is  the  teacher's  domain.  When  a  student  enters  it, 
he  becomes  attuned  to  the  appearance,  attitude,  and  personality  of 
the  teacher.  How  the  teacher  approaches  the  subject  will  weigh 
heavily  in  the  student's  judgment  of  it,  and  can  decide  whether  the 
student  will  become  a  great  author,  doctor,  or  mudpiemaker. 

In  this  educational  Canaan,  there  are  many  hours  of  required 
scholastics  that  rate  low  on  the  scale  of  interest.  Consequently,  the 
real  need  to  get  the  act  together  should  emerge  as  a  primary  concern 
of  both  student.  .  .  and  teacher  alike.  Inflation  or  no,  $89  an  hour  is 
still  a  lot  of  bucks  to  lose.

Letters  To  The  Edit 


Dear  Editor: 

After  noticing  some  contradic- 
tory practices  in  The  Southern 
Accent,  1  felt  compelled  to  write 
this  letter. 

In  regards  to  the  survey  and 
random  sampling  concerning  the 
dress  code,  why  were  opinions 
published  signed  "name  with- 
held" when  you  stated  in  the 
previous  issue  that  letters  to  the 


Ed.  Note: 

Anonymous  letters  to  the  editor 
will  continue  to  go  unpublished. 
Letters  are  opinions  volunteered, 
and  if  you  want  people  to  pay 
attention  to  your  opinion,  you 
should  pay  them  the  courtesy  of 
letting  them  know  who  they're 
listening  to. 

An  opinion  poll  is  not  a  volun- 
teered opinion,  it  is  a  solicited 
opinion.    One  opinion  is  not  the 


editor  signed  in  that  way  would 
not  be  printed.  C'mon  lets  be 
fairl 

Also,  when  the  book  Deuter- 
onomy was  written  both  men  and 
women  wore  dress-type  apparel. 
Finally,  if  God  blesses  America 
simply  because  women  wear 
dresses,  then  He's  not  the  God  I 
believe  He  is. 

Sincerely, 
Karen  Olson 
Thank  you. 


central  theme  of  the  article;  it  is 
recorded  as  a  part  of  the  over-all 
impression.  Letters  and  opinion 
polls  are  two  separate  things. 

As  for  the  other  "contradictory 
practices,"  the  bumper  sticker 
you  mentioned  was  a  real-life 
picture,  not  a  part  of  our  paper 
policy.  It  was  published  only  for 
interest's  sake. 


Dear  Editor: 

I've  been  at  SMC  for  a  few 
years,  but  only  today  was  1  really 
hit  by  something  1  have  never 
really  thought  about  before. 
What  "hit"  me?  Just  this:  what 
would  happen  to  the  students  in 
any  one  of  our  campus  buildings 
if  there  was  a  fire?  Now  wait  a 
minute  readers,  don't  cut  one  off 
yet   THIS  IS  IMPORTANTI 

What  if  you  are  a  two-year 
secretarial  major?  You  have  class 
on  the  3rd  floor  of  Lynn  Wood 
Hall.  There's  a  fire  that  has  been 
blazing  away  in  the  back  end  of 
the  service  department  for  just  a 
few  minutes.  No  one  knows  it  and 
least  of  all,  you.  The  flames  have 
been  eating  away  at  the  2nd  floor 
where  the  steps  of  descent  from 
your  classroom  go,  thus  taking 
you  to  safety.  By  the  time  you 
and  your  classmates  are  aware  of 
the  fire,  smoke  is  coming  from 
somewhere  you're  unaware  of. 
Someone  yells,  Fire!  Shortly  af- 
ter, the  siren  above  you  goes  off 
for  on-campus  fire. 

Everyone  jumps  up  immedi- 
ately and  makes  a  mad  rush  for

The  first  stiident  out  the  door  is 
blasted  with  smoke  and  heat,  but 
perseveringly  zooms  down  the 
steps.  As  she  hits  2nd  floor,  it 
gives  way.  There's  no  way  of 
helping  her.  You  were  the  2nd 
one  out  the  door  and  saw  what 
happened.  Your  means  of  escape 
is   cut  off.    What  will  you  do? 


Perhaps,  you  can't  even  think 
now.  The  smoke  has  so  befud- 
dled your  mind.  Your  throat  is 
burning  with  it  too.  Your  eyes  are 
watering  like  crazy  so  you  can't 
see  where  you're  going.  The  heat 
is  becoming  unbearable.  Your 
lungs  are  about  to  collapse.  As 
far  as  you  are  concerned,  you're  a 
gonner.  '■Oh  my  God,"  you  cry, 
■■am  I  gonna  die?"  Look,  it  can 
happen  and  it  could  be  youl

I  know  what  can  happen.  See, 
only  recenUy  I  was  home.  While 
sitting  in  the  living  room  of  our 
trailor,  I  heard  an  explosion.  It 
wasn't  a  big  one,  for  it  sounded 
more  like  someone  had  a  flat  and 
the  ground  didn't  shake.  Shortly 
after  the  first  explosion,  there 
was  another.  I  zoomed  out  of  the 
trailor  and  was  amazed  at  what  I 
saw.  There  was  a  grand  display 
of  flame  shooting  into  the  air  a 
good  hundred  feet  or  more.  The 
office  building  of  a  trailor  sales- 
man next  door  was  had.  Within 
MINUTES  the  whole  building  had 
gone.  The  most  profound  thing 
about  it  was  that  the  building  was 
built  mainly  out  of  block  with 
steel  ceiling  joist.

I  Dear  Editor; 

1  over  this  country,  solid  un- 
[  yielding  guardrails,  sign  posts, 
and  poles  are  being  replaced  by 
collapsible  barriers.  Tests 
!  and  studies  have  shown  that  they 
reduce  damage  and  injuries  when 
struck  by  a  vehicle.  It  is  truly  a 
pity  that  someone  at  this  school 
I  has  not  yet  received  the  message. 
The  road  to  the  trailer  park  at 
I  SMC  now  features  the  ultimate  in 
"smash  into  the,  you  cannot  hurt 
I  them"  guardrails.  Huge,  and  I 
I  mean  HUGE  boulders  have  been 
I  placed  closed  to  the  right  side  of 
Ithe  pavement.      If  one  was  to 


accidently  vear  a  little  to  the  right 
it  would  not  be  a  simple  correc- 
tion of  steering,  it  would  easily 
and  quickly  become  a  genuine 
certified  wreck. 

What  possible  reason  could 
there  be  for  creating  another  road 
hazard  around  Collegedale?  Does 
someone  value  that  small  strip  of 
grass  so  Highly  they  will  protect  it 
at  any  cost?  Has  a  rock  collector 
misplaced  some  of  his  prize  speci- 
mens? Maybe  the  boulders 
needed  a  home.  Whatever  the 
reason  it  cannot  justify  the  poten- 
tial dangerous  results.

After  reading  all  of  the  articles 
Slbout  the  dress  code  (Oct.  6)  we 
Hthink  its  time  to  stop  talking  and 
istart  enforcing  it.  If  this  is  to  be

enough  to  uphold  the  code. 

When  applying  to  SMC  we 
students  signed  a  contract  agree- 
ing to  follow  ALL  standards.  We 
have  nothing  against  the  dress

ghen  students  try  to  take  advant-

^ould  have  been  kept  around.

Dear  Editor: 

With  all  the  controversy  about 
the  new  dress  code  and  Deut. 
22:5,  I  felt  compelled  to  offer  a 
word  of  clarification  about  the 
latter. 

Deuteronomy  22:5  is  a  very 
obscure  text  for  which  no  one  has 
yet  discovered  an  adequate  inter- 
pretation. The  expression,  "any- 
thing that  pertains  to  a  man,"  is 
translated  from  the  Hebrew  kell- 
geber,  "things  of  a  man,"  and 
may  not  even  refer  specifically  to 
clothing,  but  rather,  items  or- 
dinarily associated  with  men. 
The  simlath  ishshah  ("woman's 
garment")  is  a  reference  to  the 
mantle  or  outer  garment  worn  by 
women.  The  Hebrew,  therefore, 
is  not  highly  specific  regarding 
the  items  in  question. 

The  expression,  "abomination 
to  the  Lord,"  should  alert  us  to 
the  fact  that  what  is  forbidden 
may  refer  to  a  caltic  offense,  not  a 
dress  code.  At  least,  there  is 
some  evidence  of  unnatural 
transvestite  behavior  in  Ca- 
naanite  religions  at  a  time  later 
than  Deut.  22. 

Finally,  there  is  no  justification 
for  pulling  this  passage  from  its 
context  and  applying  it  to  the 
issue  at  hand.  Why  not  also  insist 
that  the  Biology  Department  ob- 
serve carefully  vv.  6,  7,  or  that 
Adventist  houses  have  retaining 
walls  on  their  roofs  to  prevent 
injury  (v.  8),  or  that  farmers  avoid 
mixing  seeds  in  their  vineyards 
(v.  9)?  And  away  with  modem 
fabrics:  verse  11  strictly  warns 
against  mixing  "mingled  stuff' 
in  clothing  I 

Biblically,  these  laws  deal  with 
issues  current  in  Moses'  day  and 
have  nothing  to  do  with  dress. 
Guidelines  for  Christian  adorn- 
ment have  been  given  us  in  I  Tim. 
2:9,  10  and  I  Peter  3:1-5.

6  -  THE  SODTHEWi  ACCENT  nanday,  October  27,  1977 


3 


When  the  sixteenth  century 
dawned,  the  Christian  Way  had 
become  an  institution  that  could 
no  longer  sene  the  purposes  of 
its  Master  Designer.  But  con- 
tained within  its  structure  were 
li>'ing  stones  that  Yahweh  called 
forth  in  order  to  rebuild  them  on 
the  only  true  foundation.  His 
Word. 

Martin  Lu.her  became  the 
h^-ald  of  this  new  movement 
which  could  trace  its  origins  to  the 
primordial  Way.  As  the  Way  had 
to  be  separated  from  Judaism  and 
paganism,  so  this  new  reforma- 
tory movement  had  to  move  from 
man  to  Chirst-centeredness. 

It  was  not  the  intention  of 
Luther  to  separate  from  the 
church.  He  saw  the  abuses  and 
wanted  a  re-orientation  based  on 


The  wind  did  not  last  too  long. 
Contentions  and  debates  arose, 
and  Christianity  became  a  frag- 
mented structure,  weak,  destitue 
and  robbed  of  its  apostolic  glory 
and  fellowship.  The  Reformation 
abandoned  its  principle  of  eccle- 
sls  reformata  semper  tefor- 
manda  as  its  various  groups  set- 
tled down  into  contentment  over  a 
few  treasures  of  the  Word  while 
the  richest  jewels  remained  un- 
touched and  unsought. 

Revials  and  reformations  con- 
tinued on  a  small  scale  through- 
out the  decades  of  turmoil  and 


this  disappointed  chaos,  Yahweh 
called  the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
movement  into  being.  It  was  the 
only  bright  gem  to  shine  with  the 
light  of  progressive  revelation  but 
alas,  it  too  became  the  child  of 
reformatory  history  as  it  settled 
down  into  the  Laodicean  condition 
of  apathy. 

The  greatest  treasures  of  truth 
known  to  mortal  man  can  be 
found  within  it.  It  has  all  the 
tapestries  of  richness,  but  it  is 
devoid  of  genuine  spirituality  as 
manifested  in  faith,  love,  and  the 
righteousness  of  Christ.  Yet  des- 


the  principle  of  sola  Scrlptnra.. 
The  ecclesiastical  hierarcy  de- 
manded from  him  recantation  not 
remonstration   silence  not  reply. 


Seeing  the  common  people 
locked  in  the  bondage  of  error,  he 
determined  to  hold  to  his  posi- 
tion. To  recant  was  not  possible 
because  he  had  to  be  true  to  the 
Word  of  God.  This  meant  that  he 
would  face  excommunication  and 
death,  but  his  course  could  not  be 
altered. 

With  this,  truth  became  the 
agency  of  freedom.  When  the 
people  of  the  Reformation  experi- 
enced the  saving  truths  of  the 
Word,  they  found  the  Way  once 
more,  and  the  Christian  Way  set 
its  sails  with  a  full  wind  toward 
home. 


Wind  Of  The 


Spirit  Blows 


Down  To  Us 


pite  its  lack,  the  True  Witness  has 
said  this: 

"I  testify  to  my  brethren  and 
sisters  that  the  church  of  Christ, 
enfeebled  and  defective  as  it  may 
be.  is  the  only  object  on  earth  on 
which  He  bestows  His  supreme 
regard. . . God  has  a  people  in 
which  all  heaven  is  interested, 
and  they  are  the  one  object  on 
earth  dear  to  the  heart  of  God.*'

change.  Spirituality  began  to  die 
as  man  became  apathetic  to  the 
living  Word. 

Realizing  his  victory,  Satan  sat 
at  ease.  Yahweh  waited  until  the 
appointed  time,  then  He  raised 
up  the  greatest  movement--the 
Second  Advent  Movement-ever 
known  to  man.  It  swept  the  world 
as  the  Word  became  the  center  of 
attention  once  more. 


In  Need  Of  A 
Booster   Shot? 


It  is  customary  on  this  campus 
every  year  to  have  a  week  of 
spiritual  emphasis  (often  referred 
to  as  week  of  prayer.) 

When  this  particular  occasion 
comes  up  on  the  calendar,  several 
interesting  things  happen.  Most 
of  the  teachers  "let  up"  on 
quizzes,  due  dates  for  papers, 
and  other  assignments.  The  class 
time  schedule  is  shifted  to  allow 
for  hour  meetings  every  morning 
in  the  chapel,  instead  of  just  the 
regular  Tuesday  and  Thursday 
ones.  A  guest  speaker  is  invited 
to  the  campus  that  week  to  share 
his  religious  enlightenment  of 
God's  word,  and  to  help  people 
have  a  more  meaningful  relation- 
ship with  Christ. 

Most  of  the  time,  week  ot 
prayer  has  very  positive  effects, 
and  some  people  start  rapidly 
excelling  while  others  continue  to 
grow  gradually. 

For  yet  others  it  is  a  wonderful 
thing  until  several  weeks  later 
when  their  "shot  in  the  arm" 
wears  off.  They  just  seem  to  run 
out  of  gas  and  there  is  no  one 


there  to  fill  them  up  again. 

Are  you  one  of  these  people 
who's  shot  in  the  arm  has  worn 
off?  Can  you  remember  who  the 
speaker  was  and  what  he  said? 
Or  is  all  that  you  remember  is 
the  style  of  the  speaker's  hair  or 
the  color  of  his  suit? 

The  shot  in  the  arm  doesn't 
come  from  the  speaker,  as  many 
people  think.  It  comes  from  the 
Bible  and  tlie  incredible  insights 
of  E.G.  White. 

What  the  speaker  does  to  ob- 
tain the  shot  before  you,  is  to 
maintain  a  day  to  day  relationship 
with  God.  They  allow  themselves 
to  be  humbled  so  that  the  Holy 
Spirit  can  work  through  them. 

1  maintain  that  if  you  stay  in  a 
daily  relationship  with  God,  you 
will  be  able  to  obtain  and  keep  the 
shot  in  the  arm. 

Would  you  like  to  share  your 
best  friend  with  others?  You  can! 
All  you  have  to  do  is  not  lose  thai 
shot  in  the  arm. 

Has  yours  worn  off?

If  you  call  God  your  Father, 

you  acknowledge  yourselves  as  His  children, 
to  be  guided  by  His  wisdom, 
and  to  be  obedient  in  all  things, 
knowing  His  love  is  changeless; 
you  will  accept  His  plan  for  your  life; 
you  will  hold 
His  honor, 
His  character. 
His  family. 
His  work, 

as  the  objects  of  your  highest  interest; 
It  will  be  your  joy 
to  recognize 
and  honor 

your  relation 

to  your  Father 

and  to  every  member  of  His  family- 
God  is  our  Father, 
A  tender  parent, 

solicitous  for  His  spiritual  children. 
He  is  pledged  to  be 
the  protector, 
counsellor, 
guide, 
and  friend, 

of  all 
Who  are  obedient 
to  Him.

How   To  Survive 
The  Tuition  Hike 


DGreg  Vital 


As  the  cost  of  a  college  educa- 
tion continues  to  rise,  more  stu- 
dents are  looking  for  additional 
sources  of  funds  to  help  meet  the 
vast  amount  of  expenses.  Tui- 
tion, books,  room  and  board  have 
all  skyrocketed  in  recent  years. 
In  just  the  last  four  years,  the  cost 
of  a  semester  hour  at  SMC  has 
risen  nearly  25  per  cent.  This  has 
not  been  without  cause.  General 
operating  expenses  like  electricity 
and  maintenance  have  doubled 
since  1970.  The  budget  of  this 
college  is  at  the  6  million  dollar 
point  this  year. 

But  how  high  can  the  price  tag  go, 
before  the  average  individual 
ceases  to  be  able  to  afford  a 
quality  school  such  as  Southern 
Missionary  College  without  addi- 
tional outside  funding? 

Additional  funds  must  be  made 
available,  either  thru  loans, 
grants,   or  scholarships.      Most 


people  are  unaware  of  the  many 
different  federal  and  state  pro- 
grams for  financial  aid. 

The  most  well  known  is  the 
Department  of  Health,  Educa- 
tion, and  Welfare's  Basic  Grant 
Program  Commonly  known  as 
"BEOG".  The  award  is  a  grant 
and  ,  unlike  a  loan,  does  not  have 
to  be  repaid.  It  is  intended  to  be 
the  "floor"  of  a  financial  aid 
package. 

The  amount  of  a  Basic  Grant  is 
determined  on  the  basis  of  your 
own  and  your  family's  financial 
resources.  Your  financial  need  is 
determined  by  the  evaluation  of 
your  family's  assets  and  debts 
from  the  proceeding  year's  in- 
come tax  form. 

Various  state  grant  programs 
are  offered  also.  This  year  alone, 
$60  million  has  been  appropriated 
by  the  U.S.  government  to  be 
made  available  thru  The  State 
Student  Incentive  Grant  program

(SSIG).  The  requirements  for  the 
SSIG  award  vary  from  state  to 
state  depending  upon  your  resi- 
dence. Some  states  allow  usage 
of  the  award  only  at  a  public 
college.  Others  require  you  to 
remain  instate  to  receive  your 
grant.  So  check  your  individual 
state's  requirements.  Contact  the 
scholarship  agency  in  your  state 
capital. 

For  specific  information  on  the 
SSIG  program  in  Tennessee  and 
Georgia,  contact  the  Tennessee 
State  Assistance  Corp.,  746 
Cordell  Hall  Building,  Nashville. 
TN,  37219,  or  Georgia  State 
Scholarship  Commission,  9 
LaVista  Perimeter  Park,  Suite 
110,  2187  North  Northlake 
Parkway,  Atlanta,  Georgia  30084. 

In  recent  years  some  colleges 
have  made  available  long-term 
loans  at  low  interest  rates  and 
with  tolerable  repayment  plans. 
Most  of  these  plans  don't  require 
payment  until  nine  months  after 


graduation  or  discontinuation  of 
college. 

If  you  find  yourself  unable  to 
qualify  under  any  of  these  pro- 
grams, you  might  try  civil  or 
religious  organizations.  Many 
offer  scholarship  to  worthy  or 
exceptional  students.  Many 
business  companies  offer  some 
type  of  scholarship  programs  for 
employees  or  their  children. 

Many  banks,  credit  unions,  and 
insurance  companies  offer  college 
loan  programs.  Usually  these 
loaners  charge  the  highest  inter- 
est rates  --  so  beware. 

Some  questions  you  should 
have  answered  before  you  as- 
sume any  loans  are:  v 

What  is  the  simple  interest  on 
this  loan? 

W  hai  is  the  total  payback- 
principal  plus  all  interest? 

Are  there  any  extra  charges  -- 
any  penalties  for  paying  the  con- 
tract in  advance? 

Does    this    loan    contain    a 


"balloon  clause,"  under  which  a 
larger  payment  is  added  on,  at 
the  end? 

Does  the  contract  include  any 
clauses  for  "wage  assignments" 
or  "garnishing"  under  which  the 
lender  can  ask  your  employer  to 
take  out  payments  for  your  loan 
in  case  of  default? 

Are  there  any  other  restrictions 
or  "small  print"? 

Remember,  read  everything 
before  you  sign  anything,  since 
you'll  be  paying  for  it  in  the  long

"Student  Guide". 

And  remember,  under  any  of 
the  above  mentioned  programs, 
you  may  be  required  to  work  at  a 
student  job.  It's  also  another  way 
of  helping  to  meet  the  rising  cost 
of  a  college  education  and  it 
sure  helps.

Zarandona's  First  Taste  Of  Competition  Savory 


DJack  Kovalski 

We  have  an  Olympic  runner 
right  here  on  campus  1  Well, 
maybe  not  exactly,  but  even 
'though  the  name  Joshua  Zaran- 
dona doesn't  compare  with  such 
names  as  Frank  Shorter  and 
Lasse  Viren,  he  shows  the  promi- 
nence of  a  promising  runner  -- 
that  is,  if  his  first  time  in  competi- 
tion running  last  week  is  any 
indication  as  to  his  potential. 

This  past  Sunday,  the  Athletic 
Attic  cross-country  was  held, 
sponsored  by  the  Chattanooga 
Track  Club  and  the  Athletic  Attic. 
It  started  and  ended  here  on  the 
SMC  campus.  The  competition 
was  open  to  anyone  who  thought 
that  they  might  have  the  ambition 
or  strength  to  run  in  either  the 
one  mile  or  six  mile  cross-country 


The  race  was  divided  into  var- 
ous  classes  depending  upon  age. 


therefore  making  it  a  fair  race. 
Zarandona  signed  up  for  thq  six 
mile  cross-country  run  and  was 
registered  ia  dass  "B"  which 
included  all  men  ages  17  to  23. 
Josh  moved  up  almost  immedi- 
ately into  sixth  place  over  all. 
At  the  two  mile  point,  he  moved 
up  to  fifth  place,  a  position  he 
kept  throughout  the  entire  race 
until  the  last  stretch,  when  he  put 
it  in  gear,  finishing  fourth  over  all 
and  capturing  third  place  in  his 
class.  Bear  in  mind  that  this  was 
Zarandona's  first  taste  of  compe- 
tition alongside  seasoned  cross- 
country runners. 


After  the  race  1  spoke  with 
Zarandona  and  learned  some  en- 
lightening facts.  To  begin  with, 
he  has  been  long-distance  run- 
ning consistantly  for  approxi- 
mately two  and  a  half  years,  but 
has  enjoyed   long-distance   run- 


ning since  his  freshman  year  in 

academy. 

"I  was  a  little  shrimp,  and 
wanted  to  be  good  at  something," 
Zarandona  said.  His  definition 
of  running  includes  seven  to  fif- 
teen miles  daily  and  sometimes 
even  20  or  more,  if  the  spirit 
moves  him.  What  does  he  do 
during  this  time?  "I  study  Greek 
flashcards,  think,  and  often  talk 
to  God,  "  he  said.  "Running 
clears  my  mind,  helps  me  get 
away  from  pressure  and  think 
straight." 

Zarandona  detests  running  the 
oval  track  out  on  the  field,  and 
instead  prefers  running*  on  the 
roads  that  surround  Collegedale 
and  the  campus.  Doing  this  has 
brought  some  interesting  experi- 
ences. One  that  still  stands  out 
vividly  in  his  mind  is  what  hap- 
pened to  him  the  day  after  be- 


coming a  U.S.  citizen.  (He  was 
bom  in  Cuba-)^  He  was  running 
down  the  roadside  against  traffic 
and  a  car  came  into  view. 
Zarandona  finds  that  most  drivers 
he  meets  on  the  road  are  quite 
friendly  and  usually  return  the 
wave  of  greeting  he  gives  to  all 
motorists.  This  car,  however,  "a 
nasty  blue  Falcon  with  two  kids, ' ' 
proved  to  be  different.  As  it 
approached  Joshua,  a  passenger 
opened  his  door,  attempting  to 
knock  him  Off  balance  and  forcing 
him  to  "do  a  mighty  quick  side 
stepl" 

Then  of  course,  there  are  those 
same  dogs  who  always  chase  him. 
They  actually  are  the  initiative 
that  spurs  him  on  to  finish  his  run 
without  stopping,  because  Zaran- 
dona fears  they'll  make  a  snack 
out  of  him  if  they  ever  catch  him. 
Now  a  senior  theology  major, 
Zarandona  not  only  believes  in 


good  health  principles^,but  also 
practices  them.  He  has  abstained 
from  eating  anything  containiog 
sugar  for  six  years  in  an  effort  to 
keep  his  mind  clear.  He  feels  it  is 
also  fitting  since  it  is  for  Gods 
glory. 

Now  that  Zarandona  has  gotten 
his  taste  of  competition,  he  hopes 
and  plans  to  be  able  to  do  it  more. 
Let's  all  wish  him  good  luck  as  he 
endeavors  to  prove  that  uphold- 
ing the  health  principles  wiii 
make  him  a  better  runner.

Voice  of  the  Southern  Missionary  College  Student 


The  Artist  Adventure  Series  will  present  Dick  and  Anne  Albin  in 
a  concert  at  the  P.E.  Center  Nov.  5  at  8  p.m.  The  Albins  toured 
most  of  the  country  doing  concerts  and  workshops  on  dulcimers 
and  on  folk  music. 

A  love  for  folklore  and  Kentucky's  traditions  has  led  them  to 
collect  songs  and  stories  which  they  blend  into  a  concert 
including  much  of  Kentucky's  culture. 

Their  concert,  called  "Makin  Do  With  What  You  Have," 
recalls  the  times  when  people  built  their  own  houses,  made  their 
own  clothes,  grew  their  own  food,  and  made  their  own  entertain- 
ment.

DJim  Guy 

In  one  week  Jones  Hall,  now 
evacuated  by  the  women,  will 
open  its  doors  again. 

This  time  Jones  will  be  used  as 
non-dormitory,  on-campus, 
housing  for  men  25  and  over. 
There  will  be  no  deans  and  no 
RA's.  Jones  will  be  considered 
strictly  as  another  housing  area. 

The  men  will  have  their  choice 
of  one  or  two  man  rooms.  A  one 
man  room  will  cost  the  same  as 
regular  dorm  rent  --  $67,  and  a 
two  man  room  will  cost  the  same 
as  the  regular  Jones  rent  --  $47. 

All  of  the  house  rules  have  not 

been  worked  out  yet.  The  pro- 
spective occupants  will  probably 
have  a  voice  in  making  the  rules, 
explains  Everett  Schlisner,  dean 
of  men. 

According  to  Dean  Melvin 
Campbell,  there  are  more  than 
two  dozen  men  over  age  25. 

The  move  to  Jones  wDI  be 
voluntary.     If  everyone  25  and 


over  moves  to  Jones,  the  crowded 
3-man-to-a-room  situation  in 
Talge  will  be  solved. 

"You  just  really  can't  find  a 
housing  deal  like  this  in  the  com- 
munity," commented  Campbell.

25-Foot    Hands   To 
Clasp    On     Campus 


D  Jerry  Dick  Lien 

Last  year  the  Board  of  Trustees 
voted  unanimously  to  accept  the 
Praying  Hands  statue  when  it  was 
offered  to  the  college  by  Arctor 
M.  Contreras,  a  noted  Mexican 
artist.  The  offer  stipulated  that  if 
someone  would  finance  the  cost  of 
materials,  then  Contreras  would 
make  the  piece  of  art. 

Several  subscribers  were  in- 
terested in  seeing  the  grounds  of 
the  College  graced  with  the  work 
of  Contreras.  The  College  itself  is 
not  monetarily  involved  in  the 
project. 

Composed  of  cast  silver  and 
gold  bronze,  the  statue  portrays  a 
pair  of  hands,  symbolically  those 
of  God,  folded  over  a  heart.  A 
drop  of  blood  issues  from  the 
heart. 

In  this  figurative  way,  the 
monumnet  is  to  be  a  reminder 
that  man  is  still  in  the  hands  of 
God  and  that  His  heart  was 
broken  through  the  passion  of 
Christ  for  humanity. 

The  statue  is  25  feet  high,  16 
feet  wide,  and  approximately  six 


feet  thick.  Its  tentative  location 
on  campus  is  on  the  campus 
entrance  mall  between  the  white 
Southern  Missionary  College 
marker  and  the  first  row  of 
shrubbery. 

Materials  for  the  base  were 
ordered  about  six  weeks  ago,  and 
word  has  been  received  that  the 
statue  is  nearing  completion. 

Contreras  is  also  the  creator  of 
the  largest  piece  of  art  work  in  the 
Western  Hemisphere  which  is  lo- 
cated at  one  of  the  government 
buildings  in  Mexico  City. 

According  to  Dr.  Frank  Knittel, 
the  Praying  Hands  should  arrive 
on  campus  approximately  by  the 
end  of  January. 

In  an  interview  published  in 
Hie  Sonthem  Accent  March  11, 
1976,  Dr.  Knittel  stated  that, 
'There  are  really  two  reasons 
why  I  think  this  monument  can  be 
important  to  SMC.  First  of  all,  it 
will  be  a  contributing  factor  to  the

aesthetic  dimension  of  this 
school,  and  also  I  think  it  is  a  very 
strong  factor  in  symbolizing 
something  that  this  school  stands 
for." 


Statement     Billing 
Changes  With  Times 


a  Curtis  McCrillis 

Louesa  Peters,  assistant  trea- 
surer in  the  Accounting  Office, 
stated  that  the  statement  charges 
this  year  would  be  different  from 
previous  years.  Because  of  the 
billing  changes,  many  Students 
and  parents  are  confused. 

According  to  Peters,  other  Se- 
venth-day Adventist  colleges,  as 
well  as  public  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, have  been  following 
similar  plans  for  several  years. 
She  says  the  benefits  far  out- 
weigh any  deficiency  that  might 
arise. 

The  system  operates  as  follows: 
Three  installments  are  incurred 
during  the  semester.'  These  are 
due  upon  receipt  of  the  state- 
ment. The  first  third  was  due 
Oct.  25.  This  was  the  amount  due 
upon  receipt  of  the  September 
statement.  The  October  state- 
ment, which  is  the  second  third, 
will  be  due  by  Nov.  25.  The  last, 
third,  the  November  statement, 
will  be  due  before  semester  exam; 
permits  are  issued. 

The  second  semester  state- 
ments will  operate  the  same  way 
in  three  monthly  payments.  The 
student's  account  will  be  con- 
sidered delinquent,  or  past  due, 
on  the  26th  of  each  month. 


The  benefits,  mentioned  ear- 
lier, are  comprised  of  the  fol- 
lowing: Parents  will  find  it  much 
easier  to  plan  their  budget  ahead 
if  the  enfire  semester's  cost  is 
known.  Most  other  colleges  tend 
to  require  full  payment  before  the 
student  even  registers. 

If  payments  are  met  on  time, 
there  will  be  no  charge  upon 
receipt  of  the  December  state- 
ment to  be  paid  during  January. 
This  leaves  families  financially 
secure  over  the  holiday  season. 
No  payment  would  be  required 
until  the  January  statement  came 
out.  This  statement  will  include 
all  overhead  charges  for  Decem- 
ber (unless  these  were  taken  care 
of  by  student  labor.) 

A  change  has  also  occurred 
concerning  the  monthly  discount 
of  2  percent  if  the  payment  is  met 


by  the  deadline.  No  discount 
exists  any  longer.  However,  the 
total  tuition  itself  has  been  re- 
duced to  compensate  for  the 
change.  This  change  brings  a- 
bout  financial  equality  for  the 
financially  unstable  student  as 
well  as  the  student  who  is  secure 
in  this  area. 

A  rebate  is  available  for  the 
family  who  has  two  or  more  young 
people  enrolled.  Those  with  two 
family  members  enrolled  will  re- 
ceive a  five  per  cent  rebate  on  the 
total  overall  semester  tuition,  and 
those  having  three  or  more  en- 
rolled, will  receive  a  rebate  of  10 
per  cent.  To  qualify  for  these 
rebates,  each  of  the  students 
must  currently  be  taking  eight  or 
more  semester  hours,  and  they

Sundial  Foreshadowed  On 
Thatcher's  Mound  Of  Earth 


DJetiy  Dick  Lien 

On  the  mound  of  earth  which 
lies  between  the  Thatcher  Hall- 
parking  lot  and  the  street  there 
has  been  a  good  deal  of  activity  of 
late  with  digging  and  erection  of 
some  rather  large  rocks. 

Some  have  wondered  if  this  is 
to  be  the  location  for  the  some- 
what controversial  sacred  heart 
sculpture  (see  article  p.  1). 

Actually,  it  will  be  a  garden 
centered  by  a  sundial.  Upon 
completion,  this  will  be  the 
beauty  spot  envisioned  by  the 
graduating  class  of  1965. 

The  class  gift  of  money  for  a 
sundial,  remembered  by  the  Col- 
lege's historian  and  late  executive 
secretary  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion, Mabel  Wood,  is  now  being 
put  to  use. 

According  to  grounds  director, 
Charles  Lacy,  it  took  some  time  to 
make  a  selection  for  the  location

of  the  dial,  but  the  area  near 
Thatcher  Hall  was  finally  chosen. 

The  garden  will  have  all  dwarf 
plantings.  "We  have  to  do  this  so 
that  there  will  be  no  shade  on  the 
dial.  After  all,  a  sundial  that's  in 
the  shade  isn't  much  use,"  com- 
mented Lacey. 

Included  in  the  plans  for  the 
garden   will   be    a   freeze-proof 


drinking  fountain.  Also,  there 
will  be  seats  for  students  and  an 
.  ornamental  walk  or  wall  around 
the  base  of  the  dial.  The  sundial 
is  supposed  to  be  one  of  the  most 
accurate  available. 

Partial  completion  of  the  gar- 
den is  projected  for  this  winter, 
and  full  completion  will  be  by 
next  fall.

must  be  from  the  same  immediate 
family  under  the  care  of  the  same 
financial  supporter. 

Further  ii^ormation  on  these 
matters  can  be  found  in  the  SMC 
bulletin,  pp.  158,  159. 

In  addition,  the  Accounting  Of- '' 
fice  says  that  other  expenses, 
such  as  the  Campus  Shop,  Ad- 
ventist  Book  Center,  etc. ,  should 
be  taken  care  of  by  the  earnings 
from  the  student's  work  program. 
The  Campus  Shop  has  a  limit  of 
$125  for  the  first  semester,  and 
$75  for  second  semester.  Stu- 
dents who  feel  that  their  needs 
may  exceed  these  amounts,  need 
to  see  the  Student  Finance  per- 
sonnel for  further  arrangements.

A  three  week  central  European 
study  tour  will  be  conducted  next 
summer  by  Dr.  Rudolf  Aussner, 
professor  of  modem  languages. 

Among  the  nations  to  be  visited 
are  Switzerland ,  Austria,  Czecho- 
slovak!. West  Germany,  Liechten- 
stein, East  Germany,  and  Luxem- 
bourg. The  tour  is  open  to  all  who 
are  interested  from  a  junior  in 
academy  and  on  up. 

Thd  group  will  depart  from 
New  York  City  on  May  17  for  the 
small  country  of  Luxembourg. 
When  they  arrive,  they'll  board 
the  bus  which  will  be  their  trans- 
portation for  the  next  three 
weeks.  One  of  the  first  stops  will 
be  in  Luxembourg,  visiting  the 
grave  of  General  Patton.  Some  of 
the  other  highlights  along  the  way 
include  a  stop  in  Worms,  the  ci^ 
where  Martin  Luther  defended 
himself,  the  famous  Matterhom 
in  Switzerland,  the  Berlin  Wall, 
Maria  Theresian  Stadt,  a  World 
War  11   concentration   camp    in 


'• 


Czechoslovakia,  and  Hitler's 
mountaintop  retreat  in  Austria, 
known  as  the  Eagle's  Nest. 

In  addition  to  the  historical 
sights,  some  of  the  cultural  e- 
vents  to  be  attended  include  an 
opera  in  Vienna  and  a  concert  in 
Berlin. 

Sabbath  hours  will  be  spent  at 
SDA  institutions,  with  the  first 
being  at  our  college  in  Darmstadt, 
West  Germany,  the  second  at 
Seminar  Bogenhofen  in  Austria, 
and  the  last  behind  the  Iron  Cur- 
tain in  East  Germany,  hopefully 
at  the  SDA  college  in  Friedensau, 
if  granted  permission  by  the 
government. 

Dr.  Aussner,  who  has  led  out 
on  these  tours  in  years  past,  feels 
right  at  home  in  that  pari:  of  the 
world,  as  he  is  a  native  of  West 
Germany  and  lived'  in  Vienna  for 
five  years. 

The  cost  of  the  trip  is  approxi- 
mately $1000,  which  covers  air 
fare  to  and  from  New  York,  all

Nursing  students  from  SMC 
will  attend  the  first  southern  As- 
sociation of  Seventh-day  Adven- 
tist  Nurses  (ASDAN)  retreat  Nov. 
4-6.  RN's,  LPN's,  and  their 
families  will  spend  the  weekend 
at  Indian  Creek  Camp,  Liberty, 
Tenn. 

The  objective  of  the  retreat  is  to 
provide  an  opportunity  for 
ASDAN  members  and  others  to 
join  in  group  worship,  sharing  of 
experiences,  learning,  and  re- 
creation. Among  the  benefits  of 
attending  will  be  the  opportunity 
to  acquire  Continuing  Education 
Units  (CEU),  courses  that  keep 
the  nurse  informed  and  updated 
her  profession. 

Along  with  ASDAN  officers. 
Southern  Union  leaders,   and 


General  Conference  personnel, 
several  faculty  members  will  have 
a  part  in  the  programs. 

Dr.  Lorenzo  Grant,  professor  of 
religion,  will  speak  for  the  7:30 
Friday  evening  meeting.  Ina 
Longway,  director  of  the  Division 
of  Nursing,  will  lead  the  Sabbath 
School  lesson  study.  On  Sunday 
morning,  Jan  Rushing,  professor 
of  business  and  management,  will 
present  a  CEU  "Program  on 
Management." 

Alice  Smith,  General  Confer 
ence  executive  director  of 
ASDAN,  will  conduct  the  Sabbath 
church  service. 

For  the  early-risers,  a  bird 
watching  session  is  scheduled  for 
Sabbath  morning  at  sunrise. 


Bemadine  Irwin,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  nursing,  was  recently 
accepted  toattendgraduate  school 
in  San  Diego,  Calif.  Irwin,  who 
received  her  masters  degree  from 
Loma  Linda  University  in  1974, 
will  be  working  toward  her  Ph.D. 
in  behavioral  science.  She 
teaches  a  class  in  psychiatric  nur- 
sing here  at  SMC. 


Christine  Shultz  from  the  nur- 
sing department  is  attending  the 
Council  of  Associate  Degree  A- 
gencies  of  the  National  League  for 
Nurses  during  this  week. 

The  councU  will  be  held  in  St. 
Louis,  MO,  where  they  will  dis- 
cuss  the  expectations  of  the  A.D, 
graduate  in  nursing.

Pressed 
Fads?  Copy 
Your  Face! 


HiimHUy,  Novembers,  1977  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  -  3 


EAST  LANSING,  Mich.  (UPI)  - 
What's  a  college  student  to  do 
when  it's  too  cold  to  streak,  cruel 
to  swallow  goldfish,  and  passe  to 
stuff  people  into  phone  booths? 

Some  Michigan  State  Univer- 
sity students  may  have  invented 
the  latest  college  craze:  instant 
"Portraits"  made  by  pressing 
their  faces  against  photocopying 
machines. 

Secluded  machines  in  the  MSU 
library  are  the  most  popular  face 
copying  studios,  especially  for  the 
shy  or  uninitiated. 

"You  look  around  and  make 
sure  no  one  is  looking,"  MSU 
veterinary  student  Charles  Horo- 
witz said. 

"Then  you  put  a  nickel  in  the 
machine,  close  your  eyes  and 
press  your  face  against  the 
glass."  ■ 

the  results  are  a  cross  between 
posters  for  a  carnival  house  of 
mirrors  and  those  for  a  B-grade 
Japanese  horror  movie. 

"Your  nose  is  distorted  and  it 
looks  like  you're  trying  to  hold 
your  breath,"  Horowitz  said. 


I  do  It  to  impress  ray  fnends, " 
said  26-year-old  Steve  Roth  a 
graduate  student  from  San  Fran- 
CISCO.  "It's  a  good  grin  when 
you  re  feeling  down. 

"I  give  them  to  my  fnends  to 
throw  darts  at  and  stuff.  Plus  it 
gives  my  face  a  good  tan,  with  the 
heat  and  light  and  all." 

Roth  considers  himself  in  the 
vanguard  of  face  copying,  since 
he  has  been  doing  it  for  about  a 
year.  He  is  a  connoisseur  of  the 
art  and  says  some  machines  are 
better  than  others. 

"You've  got  to  release  your 
frustrations  some  way  -  it's  like 
the  old  goldfish  swallowing  fad." 

Health  officials  said  there 
probably  is  no  real  danger  in  face 
copying  -  as  long  as  you  keep 
your  eyes  closed. 

Dr.  Marvin  McKenney,  an 
East  Lansing  eye  doctor,  said  that 
even  copiers  which  use  ultraviolet 
light  would  not  be  harmful.

Oakwood  Buys  WSMC  Antenna 


Sfudents  Give  Their 
Assurance  In  Blood 


□Mykal  Ringstaff 

The  Blood  Assurance  program, 
sponsored  by  CABL,  is  coming  to 
SMC.  The  program  is  a  national 
non-profit  community  service 
which  offers  free  blood  to  its 
donors  and  their  families  for  a 
period  of  one  year  following  a 
blood  donation.  In  order  to  be 
eligible  a  person  need  only  to 
donate  one  pint  of  blood.

□Carlos  Haylock 

WSMC-FM  is  selling  an  old 
antenna  to  Oakwood  College,  who 
soon  hopes  to  have  its  own  educa- 
tional FM  station. 

Jerry  Mathis,  engineer  for 
WSMC,  is  the  coordinator  of  the 
Oakwood  station  project.  He  will 
supervise  the  purchase  and  the 
setting-up  of  the  equipment  for 
the  station  at  Oakwood. 

Radio  station  WAUS  at  An- 


drews University  has  a  transmit- 
ter and  other  pieces  of  radio 
equipment  that  have  been  re- 
placed and  are  not  being  used  any 
more.  Mathis  is  looking  into  this 

and  if  the  equipment  meets  Oak- 
wood's  specific  needs,  it  will  be 
purchased. 

A  tower  for  the  antenna  still 
needs  to  be  found.  There  are  two 
possible  alternatives.     Either  a 


tower  can  be  purchased  and 
lected,  or  space  on  another  st 
tion's  tower  located  nearby  can  be 
used.     That   decision    is    still 
pending. 


WOCG  will  be  the  call  letta. 
assigned  to  the  radio  station  at 
Oakwood.  It  will  have  25,000 
watts  of  power  and  will  serve  the

and  themselves.  When  married  it 
will  cover  the  immediate  family. 
The  dates  for  the  drive  are  Nov. 
10  and  Dec.  1,  between  9  a.m. 
and  5  p.m.  The  donations  will  be 
taken  in  the  game  room  at  the 
Student  Center.  A  sign-up  sheet 
is  posted  on  the  bulletin  board  at

4  -  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  Thnradiy,  November  3,  1977 


Editorial 


-)„ I, iiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmm««.«m^ .,„ 


One  evening  a  couple  of  weeks  ago  while  I  was  locking  up  the 
Student  Center.  I  noticed  some  tjpe  of  mist  or  fog  coming  through 
the  cracks  between  the  doors  leading  down  to  the  cafetena^ 
Upon  opening  these  doors,  I  found  the  entire  stairwell  filled  with 
this  dense  mist.  „    .   t 

Thinking  there  might  be  a  problem  in  the  cafetena,  I  called  the 
campus  securit>'  base  in  Thatcher  Hall  right  away  and  asked  if  they 
could  get  someone  up  there  as  soon  as  possible. 

Ten  minutes  later  I  found  out  from  a  cafeteria  worker  still  on  the 
premises  that  thev  were  fumigating,  which  accounted  for  all  the 
mist  and  fog.  Since  the  situation  was  obviously  under  control,  1 
called  securin-  back  and  told  them  to  cancel  the  call.  Laughingly, 
the  Thatcher  receptionist  told  me  that  it  was  a  good  thing  that  I 
didn't  really  need  them  because  they  couldn't  get  in  touch  with 
anyone  on  the  securit\'  force  anyway. 

It's  remarkable,  vou  know.  Ask  anyone  that's  involved  in 
security  operations  what  the  key  priorities  are  on  the  job,  and  you 
will  consistantly  find  communication  weaving  its  way  into  the  scene. 

But  then.  «  nal  do  we  have  here'?  In  ten  minutes  no  one  involved 
with  the  security  of  SMC  could  be  located  and  informed  about  an 
apparent  anomaly  which  was  taking  place  in  the  largest  and  most 
central  building  on  the  campus.    Not  exactly  an  "A"  rating. 

Eariier  in  the  year  a  Collegedale  policeman  was  slashed  across 
the  face  by  someone  apparently  trying  to  break  into  a  building  that 
the  officer  was  checking.  The  report  given  the  Accent  stated  that  it 
was  the  efficiency  of  the  communication  system  built  into  the  police 
organization  that  brought  aid  to  the  bleeding  officer  and  kept  the 
situation  under  control.  My  question  is:  What  if  something  were  to 
happen  here  on  this  campus  which  demanded  decisive,  immediate 
action  and  none  of  the  security  forces  which  patrol  our  campus  could 
be  reached.  We  aren't  exactly  crime-ridden  on  this  campus,  but 
there  are  times  when  security  action  is  necessary.  Shouldn't  we  be 
prepared? 

There  are  a  lot  of  rumors,  depending  on  who  you  talk  to,  as  to 
why  the  security  department  has  the  troubles  that  it  has.  Some  say 
that  the  girls'  deans  object  to  the  communication  center  being  in 
Thatcher  Hall  and  render  the  main  radio  just  about  useless  by 
turning  the  squelch  up  to  maximum.  Another  says  that  the  security 
personnel  sometimes  leave  campus  on  unauthorized  trip':  tn  view 
emergencies  that  do  not  involve  them  and  are  not  associated  in  any 
way  with  the  security  of  the  College.  Yet  another  says  the  radios  the 
guards  are  equipped  with  are  useless  around  the  tall  buildings  on 
campus.  On  thing  is  for  certain,  though.  If  we  don't  gel  our 
security  up  to  par.  we  may  find  out  too  late  that  SMC  is  a  wicle  open 
campus.

Dear  Guys, 

Tm  sorry  that  1  can't  address 
this  to  each  of  you  individually, 
but  I  wasn't  able  to  meet  you  all 
by  name,  so  it's  Dear  Guys,  my 
ftiends. 

It's  hard  to  put  into  words  what 
or  how  a  bus  load  of  guys  makes  a 
giri  feel.  It  really  can't  be  done, 
but  I'd  like  to  thank  you  along 
with  a  unanimous  female  echo. 

You  took  a  day.  which  you  may 
have  used  in  a  more  exciting 
adventure,  just  to  be  a  friend  and 
bring  civilization  from  the  male 
world  into  this,  our  more  or  less 
male  less  world.  Thank  you! 

All  my  life  I've  been  told  that 
the  key  to  a  man's  heart  is

Dear  Editor: 

I'd  like  to  thank  the  person 
responsible  (Service  Dept. 
worker?)  for  writing  those  bible 
texts  on  the  blackboards  in 
Daniels  Hall  24  and  111  -  they're 
always  inspirational! 


Letters  To  Tl 


Dear  Editor: 


I  would  like  to  sound  off  about 
the  noise  problem  in  the  library. 
I  live  in  the  village  and  have  to 
use  the  library  to  study  in  be- 
tween classes.  But,  I  find  it  very 
difficult  to  try  and  concentrate 
when  someone  else  is  talking;  not 
in  soft  tones  or  whispers,  but  like 
they  were  the  only  people  around. 

I  can't  seem  to  find  a  place  that 
is  quiet.  1  do  not  understand  why 
college  students  do  not  know 
how.  or  have  forgotten  how  to 


whisper.  What  seems  even  more 
perplexing  is,  we  have  a  student 
center  that  has  just  been  nicely 
redecorated  and  you  can  talk  all 
you  wish  without  disturbing  thost 
who  are  trying  to  study.  S( 
Please  help  out  your  fellow  stu- 
dents in  their  classes  by  being 
quiet  in  the  library.  If  you  just 
have  to  tell  your  friend  what 
happened  to  you  Saturday  night 
please  go  where  you  won't  bt 
disturbing  others. 

Thanks, 

Linda  Woolcock

Dear  Editor; 

It  would  be  all  well  and  good  if 
we  could  blame  our  problems  on 
the  instructors.  But  on  the  other 
hand,  let's  suppose  Albert 
Average  is  doing  all  right  in  his 
mudpie  class,  but  having  prob- 
lems with  the  paradigms. 

He's  making  beautiful  mud- 
pies,  but  those  other  classes  he's 
attending  --  poor  Albert  is  barely 
getting  the  assignments  read  sim- 
ply because  his  reading  is  so 
poor.  Probably  what  he  needs  is  a 
course  to  improve  his  reading 
and/or  comprehension. 

From  conversation  with  other 
students  around  campus,  I  do 
believe  that  a  class  of  this  sort 
would  have  no  lack  in  attendance. 
Thank  you. 
Patrick  Ray 


Dear  Editor; 

For  the  past  few  weeks  I  have 
noted  some  of  the  opinions  ex' 
pressed  about  dress  and  code 
A  number  I  agree  with  and  a  few  I 
feel  to  be  kind  of  legalistic. 

Instead  of  inwardly  growling 
and  biting  at  others  whether  cer 
tain  material  is  acceptable,  too 
much  hair  on  the  face  or  head  etc, 
our  main  emphasis  and  picture 
should  be,  "Has  my  brother 
found  that  peace  which  passeth 
all  understanding?"  As  Paul 
wrote;  "Let  this  mind  be  ii 
which  was  also  in  Christ  Je; 
What  greater  joy  could  there  be 
than  being  conscientious  of  one 
another's  needs,  then  setting  out 
to  fill  them.  Have  we  found  the 
highest  joy  there  is  in  ministering 
to  others  needs?  Who  needs 
greater  revelation  of  God's  love  to 
others?  I  do. 
Stanley  Thurmon 


Dear  Editor 

I  write  this  article  to  you  with 
many  tears  in  my  voice,  not  to  any 
one  person  in  particular  but.  to 
the  stiident  body  of  SMC. 

As  you  alread'y  know,  the  holi- 
day which  is  commonly  called 
Halloween  and  celebrated 
throughout  the  country  on  Octo- 
ber 31st,  was  celebrated  on  this 
campus  last  Sunday  on  the  30th  of 
October.  On  this  date  the  cafe- 
teria was  closed  and  festivities 
were  held  in  the  stiident  park. 
Let  me  pause  here  to  lay  the  back- 
ground as  to  the  origin  of  Hallo- 


Halloween  sprang  from  the 
Celtics,  who  had  two  major  festi- 
vals .  one  for  the  sun  god  and  the 
other  for  the  god  of  the  dead. 
This  god  of  the  dead  was  named 
Samhain.  The  latter  was  cele- 
brated on  Oct.  31st  thru  Nov.  1st. 
In  this  celebration  huge  bon 
fires  were  set  on  hilltops  to 
frighten  away  evil  spirits.  The 
souls  of  the  dead  were  supposed 
to  revisit  their  homes  on  this  day. 
and  the  autumnal  festival  ac- 
quired sinister  significance  with 
ghost,  witches,  hobgoblins,  black 
cats,  fairies,  and  demons  of  all 
kinds  said  to  be  roaming  about. 

In    addition,    Halloween    was 

thought  to  be  the  most  favorable 

time   for   divination    concerning 

;     marriage,    luck,    health,    and 

;     death.     It  was  the  only  day  on 


teaB»K:sn«aam»jstjKjja 


which  the  help  <,f  the  devil  was 
invoked  for  such  purposes.  No- 
vember I  became  All  Saints  Day 
on  which  these  dead   returning 

relatives  were  honored.  On  Nov. 
2.  the  Catholic  church  brought  in 
the  pictiire  All  Souls  Day  -  a  day 
in  which  you  pray  for  the  dead, 
especially  for  those  who  had  died 
during  that  year.  (Ency.  Brit.  Vol 
I,  pp.  259-60.) 

As  you  can  well  see.  the  origin 
of  Halloween  is  purely  paganistic. 
My  point  is  this;  The  student 
body  goes  all  out  for  the  cele- 
bration of  a  holiday  whose  origin 
of  spiritualism  is  completely 
against  the  Bible  doctrine  of  the 
state  of  the  dead. 

You  might  well  say,  "That  has 
no  relevance,  for  we  do  not  cele- 
brate Halloween  today  with  that 
aspect  in  mind."  Don't  kid  your- 
self. If  you  put  a  frog  in  hot 
water  he  will  immediately  jump 
out  but.  if  you  put  him  in  cold 
water  and  heat  it  up  gradually, 
before  he  knows  it,  it  will  be  too 
late. 


Satan  is  gradually  infiltrating 
the  unguarded  mind  in  prepara- 
tion for  his  last  great  deception. 
If  a  person  were  on  the  verge  of 
joining  God's  time  last  day  rem- 
nant church  and  they  were  to  see 
this  going  on  and  ask  why  there 
are  so  many  inconsistencies  in  the 


church,  what  could  I  say?    The  H 
main  point   in   contrast  is  this; 
Oct.  31  receives  a  great  deal  of 
attention,  but  what  of  Oct.  22? 

Last  week's  Sabbath  was  the 
133rd  year  since  Our  High  Priest 
stepped  into  the  Most  Holy  Place 
of  the  heavenly  sanctuary  in  order 
to  finish  the  redemption  He  pur- 
chased on  the  cruel  cross  of  Cal- 
vary.      Our  great  forefathers  Hi 
waited  for  that  day  to  come  for 
they  thought  Christ  would  soon  | 
clasp  theii  hands  on  that  journey 
home.     A  great  disappointment 
soon  followed,  for  they  had  mis- 
takenly interpreted  the  prophecy 
of  Daniel  8;14,  thinking  at  thai 
time  Ihe  earth  was  the  sanchiary 
to  be  cleansed  with  fire.     Hw 
sweet  would  it  have  been  for  th 
stiident  body  to  arrange  a  praye 
group  last  Sabbath  afternoon  i" 
ponder  and  meditate  on  the  pas  | 
and  to  pray  for  the  futiire.    B"  ■ 
that  precious  day  passed  throng 
our  fingers  as  many  souls  lay  j  U 
the  side  of  the  path,  dying      J 
thirst,  ■

Love  is  the  quiet  understanding 
and  mature  acceptance  of  imper- 
fection. It  is  real.  It  gives  you 
strength  and  grows  beyond  you  - 
to  bolster  your  beloved.  You  are 
warmed  by  his  presence,  even 
when  he  is  away.  Miles  do  not 
separate  you.  You  want  him 
near.  But  near  or  far,  you  know 
he  is  yours  and  you  can  wait. 

Infatuation  says,  "We  must  get 
married  right  away.  I  can't  risk 
losing  him." 

Love  says.  "Be  patient.  Don't 
panic.  He  is  yours.  Plan  your 
future  with  confidence." 

Infatuation  has  an'  element  of 
sexual  excitement.  If  you  are 
honest,  you  will  admit  it  is  diffi- 
cult to  be  in  one  another's  com- 
pany unless  you  are  sure  it  will 
end  in  intimacy.  Love  is  the 
maturation  of  friendship.  You 
must  be  friends  before  you  can  be 
lovers. 

Infatuation  lacks  confidence. 
When  he's  away,  you  wonder  if 
he's  cheating.      Sometimes  you 
even  check. 

Love  means  trust.  You  are 
calm,  secure  and  unthreatened. 
He  feels  that  trust  and  it  makes 
him  even  more  trustworthy. 


Infatuation  might  lead  you  to 
do  things  you'll  regret  later,  but 
love  never  will. 

Love  lifts  you  up.  It  makes  you 
lookup.  It  makes  you  think  up.  It 
makes  you  a  better  person  than 
you  were  before. 

Sincerely, 

Jerry  Holt,  The  People's  Party 


I  _  greatly  appreciated  the  indi- 
vidual(s)  who  filled  in  the  craters 
in  the  front  Thatcher  Hall  parking 
lot. 

Not  only  did  I  almost  lose  my 
car  in  one  of  the  excavations 
recently  but  one  rainy  night  back 
in  May  I  turned  my  ankle  and 
almost  drowned  in  the  other! 

I  thought  of  filling  those  cav- 
ities myself  with  letters  from  the 
Dean  of  Students.  However, 
some  kind  soul(s)  has  finally  filled 
the  chasms  with  tar.  So,  I  guess 
I'll  attend  Chapel  regularly  and 
forget  my  mailbox  combination.

Who 'sin  Control  Here? 


Where  does  the  Christian  Way 
find  its  manifestation  today?  It 
finds  its  ultimate  display  in  the 
Laodicean  or  Seventh-day  Ad- 
ventist  movement,  the  last  pro- 
phetic period  of  Christian  history 
before  the  Second  Advent. 

The  Laodicean  message  pre- 
sents three  gifts  to  man  --  the 
gold  of  faith  and  love,  the  white 
garments  of  the  righteousness  of 
Christ  and  the  eyesalve  of  spir- 
itual discernment  The  Holy  Spir- 
it brings  these  treasures  to  those 
who  truly  desire  them,  so  one 
must  ask  why  are  these  eternal 
gifts  not  desired.  The  answer  is 
simple  yet  sad  -  we  are  apa- 
thetic and  lethargic,  contented 
with  the  materialism  of  the  age. 

The  definition  of  dogma  tends 
to  end  in  minutiae  as  thousands 
perish  with  a  hopeless  tomorrow. 
Schismatic  movements  arise  to 
call  the  "true  people"  out  while 
they  themselves  are  heading  for 
dissolution  and  declension. 

Dwelling  among  us  are  those 
agents  of  Satan  who  lament  the 
condition  of  the  movement  and 
advocate  that  division  is  coming. 
This  is  the  subject  of  their  think 
ing  and  it  becomes  their  lifework 
to  worr>  about  it  and  to  weary 


everyone  else  with  their  nega- 
tivism. 

Who  controls  the  movement- 
men  or  the  Amen?  There  is 
coming  a  division.  All  of  those 
who  have  not  accepted  the  coun- 
sels of  the  True  Witness  and  are 
not  living  them  by  the  Holy  Spirit 
will  abandon  the  movement  when 
the  storm  hits. 

The  movement  will  be  shaken 
to  its  core,  and  only  those  who 
have  made  the  Word  of  God  their 
foundation  of  faith  and  practice 
will  survive  as  their  brethren  per- 
ish with  the  multitudes  of  the  lost. 
Uodicea  will  see  the  blessed 
hope  of  the  Second  Advent.  The 
primary  question  is  will  you  be  in 
it  or  out  of  it  when  the  appointed 
time  comes? 

The  fiiture  is  as  certain  as  the 
sunrise  of  tomorrow.  Don't  be 
deceived  by  the  apostles  of  apos- 
tasy among  us  or  the  wonders  of 
deception  around  us.  The  Amen, 
the  Creator-Saviour,  has  spoken 
through  His  Word  and  His  Testi- 
mony, and  it  shall  come  to  pass 
Not  one  iota  will  fail.

Back  in  the  Fifties  the  big  thing 
to  do  around  campus  in  your 
spare  time  (and  a  lot  of  students 
took  more  than  they  had),  was  to 
see  how  many  people  you  could 
cram  into  a  telephone  booth. 
Often,  VW's  were  used  in  these 
social  functions  as  a  happy,  port- 
able alternative  when  there  was 
no  phone  booth  to  be  found. 

Well,  despite  the  fact  that  this 
is  not  the  Fifties,  and  this  isn't 
Howard  or  Yale,  the  trends  of 


craming  still  continue  on  our  fair 
campus.  SMC  has  its  own  version 
of  cramming,  though  it's  a  bit 
more  academic  —  seeing  how 
many  people  can  cram  into  the 
C.K. 

I  mean,  have  you  ever  gone 
down  to  get  something  to  eat  and 
have  to  wait  20,  30,  40  minutes 
and  have  to  sit  at  a  table  with 
M.J.  Bryant  (whom  you  didn't 
know  any  better  than  the  man  on 
the  moon)  and  listen  to  him  talk 
about  his  column  and  the  mail 
room  when  you  could  really  care 
less?  All  you  really  want  is  less 
crowding,  less  shoving,  less 
noise,  a  friendly  face  and  the 
non-Adventist  visitors  to  observe 
the  NO  SMOKING  sign  -  and 
some  service! 

I've  been  aware  and  concerned 
about  this  problem  for  quite  some 
time  now.  Just  what  can  be  done 
about  this  college-ordained  situ- 
tion? 

The  three  main  factors  to  take 
into  consideration  are  money, 
space,  and  time.  But  there  are 
several  other  factors  you  should 


know  also  before  you  jump  to  any 
fast  conclusions. 

The  first  in  this  series  of  facts  is 
that  the  staff  is  very  aware  of  the 
problem  and  is  seeking  a  solution. 
You  also  have  to  remember  that 
you  only  see  it  from  the  cus- 
tomer's out-front  point  of  view. 


Let's  go  in  back  and  expand  your 
horizons. 

Mr.  E.  Evans,  from  the  cafe- 
teria, who  has  control  over  the 
whole  matter,  said,  "If  an  ef- 
ficiency expert  came  in  and  ex- 
amined the  problem,  he  might 
conclude:  it  is  good  to  keep  the 
students  happy  (because  they  are 
the  main  source  of  business)  and 
have  a  large  menu,  but  for  the 
number  of  people  served  and  the 
equipment  and  space  to  do  the 


job,  to  be  more  efficient,  you 
would  have  to  cut  over  one  third 
of  the  menu." 

The  second  thing  you  might 
consider  as  an  answer  to  the 
problem  is  to  build  a  second  story 
on  the  mall.  But  before  you  could 
do  this  you  would  have  to  check 
the  blueprint  and  see  if  the 
foundation  was  laid  deep  enough 
(which  it  probably  is  not). 

Another  consideration  is  to 
build  another  C.K.  to  go  with  the 
one  we  already  have.  Nope  -  it'd 
cost  to  much  money!  Where 
would  the  money 
From  you,  through  tuition  and 
things  like  that. 

Still  another  idea  is  to  let  the 
lease  run  out  on  the  Wash-a-teria 
and  take  it  over  and  extend  the 
C.K.  all  the  way  to  the  back  of  die 
dry  cleaners.  And  then  we  would 
need  a  new  place  to  do  our  wash. 

A  last  and  final  alternative  is 
(and  this  is  not  my  idea)  that  we 
could  expand  the  C.K.  forward  as 
a  sidewalk  cafe  and  fold  it  in  at 
night.  But  if  this  were  done,  we 
would  have  to  lay  out  the  parking 
lot  differently. 

The  parting  thought  I  want  to 
leave  you  with  this  week,  my 
faithful  column  followers,  is  this: 
Although  I  write  a  light,  hu- 
morous, informative  column,  and 
intentionally  stay  away  from  con- 
troversial issues  (because  they're 
editorials,  and  I'm  not  an  editor), 
I  still  wanted  you  to  know  that  no 
matter  what  is  done  about  the 
C.K.  and  other  similar- problems, 
there  is  always  going  to  be  some- 
one who  won't  be  happy.

DDebby  Boyer 

Ginger,  a  miniature  collie,  had  a 
rather  devastating  experience  last 
Sunday  night  in  Collegedale.  She 
wandered  away  from  home  for  a 
romp  and  became  the  victim  of  a 
hit  and  run  accident  about  7:30 
p.m.  ShehobbledtoastairweUin 
Talge  Hall  and  collapsed.  David 
Kay  found  her  and  saw  that  one 
leg  was  severely  injured  with  part 
of  the  bone  exposed. 

In  time,  more  students  gath- 
ered around  and  offered  their 
help.  After  many  phone  calls 
they  finaUy  found  a  veterinarians 
clim,  open  on  Brainerd  Road. 
Ginger  remained  reasonably  calm 
as  her  heavily  bleeding  leg  was 
wrapped  up  and  she  was  taken  to 
the  car  by  David,  Irene  Ruprecht, 
Floyd  Wolters,  and  Mevin 
Northrup.  The  vet  sewed  up  as 
much  of  the  remaining  skin  as 
possible  and  left  it  uncovered  so 
the  wound  would  heal  faster 

Dean  Evans  let  Ginger  spend 
tne  night  in  his  garage.  The  next 
morning  he  found  out  that  his 
neighbors,Dru  and  Susan  Rourke 
were  tile  dog's  gratefiil  owners. 


A    Message    From    Glnser's 
FsmUy: 

May  we  express  our  abundant 
thanks  for  your  efforts  on 
Ginger's  behalf.  She  is  much 
improved  now.  I  have  read  that 
such  benevolent  and  tender  deeds 
reverberate  throughout  all 
creation.  More  people  than  you 
know  have  been  blessed  by  hear- 
mg  of  your  involvement;  and  I 
know  from  experience  how  that 
you  have  been  blessed  by  fellow- 
ship with  Christ  in  pity  for  His 
suffering  creature  ■■  "He  whose 


word  of  power  upheld  the  worlds 
would  stoop  to  relieve  a  wounded 
bird."  Deslie  of  Ages  p.  46. 

Sincerely, 

Dm  &  Susan  Rourke 

A  lick  on  the  cheek  and  swish  of

Racking  Horse  Spurs  SMCite's  Book 


DJerry  Dick  Lien 

Sometime  in  your  life  you  have 
perhaps  come  across  a  person 
who  insisted  that  if  he  only  h,id 
the  time  he  would  be  a  writer. 
"After  all,"  he  may  have  told 
you,  "1  3'n  full  of  ideas  just 
waiting  to  be  put  down  on  paper. 
I'm  sure  I  could  find  a  publisher. 
Writing  is  really  quite  simple;  all 
you  need  is  the  time." 

Imagine  for  a  moment  that  this 
incipient  Hemingway  is  a  friend 
of  yours,  and  his  comments  have 
been  insistent  over  a  prolonged 
period  of  time.  At  last,  fed  up 
with  the  same  old  refrain,  you, 
challengehim  todo  whathe  says 
is  so  easy.  As  an  added  incentive, 
you  promise  to  buy  him  a  vege- 
burger  as  a  regard  from  the  Cam- 
pus Kitchen  if  he  does  get  pub- 
lished. 

Faced  with  an  adequate  in- 
ducement, he  writes  his  paper,  or 
book,  and  sends  it  off  to  Insight, 
The  Hog  Breeders'  Gazette, 
McGraw-HUl,  or  the  Fly  by  Night 
Press.  (You  see,  there  is  a  wide 
range  of  tastes  for  an  author's 
target). 

After  weeks  of  waiting,  the 
inevitable  comes  --  the  rejection 
slip.  There  is  neither  fame  nor 
vegeburger  for  the  budding 
writer. 

Popular  opinion  to  the  contrary, 
writing  is  not  as  easy  as  it  may  at 
first  appear.  Only  a  few  have 
found  it  as  easy  as  chemical  en- 
gineering or  swimming  the  Eng- 
lish Channel  with  one  hand  tied 
behind  his/her  back. 


Even  that  now  well-established 
author,  Snoopy,  had  his  first 
opus,  It  Was  a  Dark  and  Stormy 
Night,  turned  down  by  the  first 
publisher  he  mailed  it  to,  sending 
its  fuzzy  author  into  a  bad  case  of 
"rejection  slip  shock"  until  he  got 


an  assist  for  Charles  Schulz  and 
Holt,  Rinehart,  and  Winston. 

Nonetheless,  SMC  does  have 
among  its  student  body  a  pub- 
lished author.  Belinda  Dickerson, 
senior  communication  major,  has 
for  years  now  had  an  interest  in 
horses  and  the  racking  horse  in 
particular. 

This  interest  has  led  her  to 
write  a  book  on  the  subject.  The . 
Racking  Horse,  Vol.  1,  took  about 
a  year  to  research  and  write. 

Also,  like  Steven  Crane's  old 
chestnut  of  American  realism, 
Maggie:  a  GM  of  the  Streets,  the 
volume  was  privately  published 
by  its  author. 

' '  I  have  felt  that  there  has  been 

a  need  for  a  book  that  would  give 
a  history  of  the  racking  horse. 
There  is  a  fast-growing  interest  in 
the  breed,  and  I  wanted  to  pre- 
sent the  horse  in  the  book  and  to 
show  how  people  can  become 
involved  in  the  industry,"  said 
Belinda. 

Miss  Dickerson  has.  included 
many  pictures  of  various  racking 
horses  in  the  volume.  It  also  tells 
about  the  trainer  and  how  they 
become  involved  with  the  breed. 
The  book,  though,  is  just  the 
latest  indication  of  a  deep  interest 
in  the  horse  on  the  part  of  its 
author. 

Belinda  has  won  the  Amateur 
Ladies'  Worid  Championship  in 
the  area.  "We  really  worked,- 
hard  for  the  event  and  expected  to 
come  in  among  the  top  ten.  But 
we  never  thought  that  I  would  win 
the  title.  It  was  really  exciting," 
exclaimed  the  giil. 


Part  of  the  training  Belinda 
does  herself,  but  she  has  a  pro- 


Belinda  Dickerson  rides  the  Small  Town  Dnde  In  the  1976  Udles  Amateur  World  Championships. 


fessional  trainer  in  Alabama  who 
also  works  with  her  horses.  The 
headquarters  of  the  Racking 
Horse  Association  is  in  that  state. 

But  what  of  the  horse  itself? 
How  did  it  come  into  being? 
According  to  the  young  author, 
the  horse  has  been  around  almost 
as  long  as  the  United  States  has. 
"The  Racking  horse  evolved  from 
the  old-time  saddle  horse.  Some 
people  know  these  horses  as  the 
single  footers.  After  the  War 
Between  the  States,  there  was  a 
merger  between  pacers  and  trot- 
ters, and  they  were  registered  as 
the  Tennessee  Walking  Horse," 
jsaid  the  young  woman.  Although 
lit  went  into  the  Tennessee  walk- 
ling  horse  breed,  the  animal  con- 


The  racking  pace  is  a  fast  rath- 
er showy,  usually  artificial  four- 
beat  gait  during  which  the  feet 

.leave  the  ground  in  the  same 
sequence   as   in   the  walk,    but 

.  faster  and  with  a  higher  action. 

It  was,  however,  only  in  the 
past  five  years  that  the  Racking 
Horse  Association  of  America  was 
recognized  by  the  U.  S.  Depart- 

,  ment  of  Agriculture.  This  action 
permitted  a  registration  system 
for  the  breed.  The  racking  horse 
is  presently  the  fastest  growing 

.  breed  in  the  United  States. 

Again  referring  to  the  horse's 
gait,  Belinda  said  that  in  the  past 
when  cars  were  in  little  or  no 


evidence,  the  racing  horse  was 
very  popular  as  a  means  of  trans- 
portation. Doctors  and  circuit 
riders,  it  seems,  particularly  fa- 
vored the  breed. 

■  "People  say  that  the  gait  is  so 
smoth  that  a  rider  can  hold  a  glass 
of  water  and  not  spill  a  drop," 
laughed  Dickerson. 

1  Now  that  the  breed  is.  officially 
recognized,  how  valuable  can 
such  a  horse  be?  "Well,  some 
horses  will  sell  for  $500,  but  some 
will  go  for  anywhere  from  S30  to 
$35  thousand.  A  top  show  horse 
usually  is  worth  about  $10  or  $12 
thousand.  A  world  champion 
racking  horse,  though,  would  be 
{ priceless  as  a  stud, ' '  commented 
iBelinda.

Water    Polo   League   Making 
A    Big   Splash     On     Campus 


□Mark  KumTiske 

This  years  water  polo  league. 
under  the  direction  of  Herschel 
Logan,  is  now  in  progress.  The 
first  games  were  played  Tuesday 
night,  Oct.  18.  On  that  night. 
Websters  team  swept  a  double- 
header  beating  Herman's  team  in 
the  first  game  6-5.  The  second 
game  saw  Webster  outscoring 
Muilins  team  11-7. 


The  next  Tuesday  night,  Oct. 
25.  Webster  won  by  forfeit  of 
Herman  1-0  and  Muilins  then 
pulverized  Herman  17-3  in  the 
second  contest. 

Games  are  played  every  Tues- 
day night  and  will  continue  into 
December.  According  to  Tedd 
Webster,  anyone  still  can  sign  up. 


This  is  co-ed  water  polo,  with 
academy  kids  playing  and  even 
one  elementary  school  partici- 
pant. The  plan  is  to  form  another 
team  out  of  those  who  sign  up. 
The  league  also  hopes  to  intro- 
duce a  team  of  the  academy  kids. 


"It's  a  very  exciting  game  to 
watch  and  one  of  the  most  ex- 
hausting I  ever  have  played," 
stated  Webster.  Water  Polo  is  a 
lot  like  soccer  except  you  use  your 
hands  instead  of  your  feet.  Wo- 
men may  use  two  hands  while 
the  men  are  restricted  to  one. 


The  standings  of  the  season 
this  far  are  as  follows:

jNursing  Students  Screen 
Public  For  Their  Health 


I  QMark  G.  Rumsey 
I  Twenty-five  junior  nursing  stu- 
I  dents  and  faculty  in  the  B.S. 
nursing  program  recently  held  a 
public  health  screening  clinic  at 
Chattanooga's  Downtown  Gene- 
ral Hospital. 

Through  this  service,  area  citi- 
zens were  given  the  opportunity 
to  be  examined  for  a  number  of 
1  physical  conditions.  The  checklist 
I  included  eyesight,  blood  sugar, 
I  "'""d  pressure,  and  respiration. 
I  Along  with  the  free  screening, 
I  nursing  students  showed  educa- 
loonal  filmstiips  for  those  interes- 
Ited  in  learning  more  about  health. 


Persons  desiring  specific  informa- 
tion or  advice  on  a  health  matter 
were  able  to  discuss  it  with  the 
nursing  faculty.  Pamphlets  on 
related  topics  were  also  dis- 
tributed. 

Two  employos  of  the  Hamilton 
County  public  health  departmeitt 
assisted  in  the  administering  of 
the  clinic. 

A  Chattanooga  television  sta- 
tion, channel  12,  filmed  and 
broadcast  a  report  of  the  clinic. 

Ina  Longway,  director  of  the 
Division  of  Nursing,  said  about 
60  persons  attended  the  clinic.

Women's 
Banquet 
To  Be  A 
2-Day  Event 

DBecki  Joiner 

Plans  for  the  women's  club 
banquet  were  announced  by 
Millie  Runyan  women's  dean, 
last  week. 

The  date  has  been  set  for  Jan. 
22  and  23,  1978.  Two  separate 
nights  were  chosen  to  alleviate 
the  cramped  seating  conditions  in 
the  banquet  hall  of  the  Read 
House.  Two  nights  will  make  it 
possible  for  more  to  attend. 

"We  expect  more  to  attend 
than  last  year,"  said  Runyan. 
"The  banquet  last  year  was  very 
enjoyable  and  the  students  will 
want  to  go  again." 

Sally  McMillan,  student  coor- 
dinator for  the  banquet,  stated 
that  she  has  requested  the  best 
vegetable  plate  the  chef  offered. 
"He  is  a  very  reputable  chef  in 
the  area,"  she  said. 

The  program  will  consist  of 
students  performing  in  a  variety 
show.  "This  will  bring  the  audi- 
ence in  contact  with  the  pro- 
gram," said  Denise  Griffith,  pro- 
gram director,  ''and  give  them 
that  personal  feeling  of  seeing 
their  friends  perform." 

The  decorating  theme  will  be  a 
candyland  effect.

range  in  age  from  6  to  18.  These 
children,  however,  are  not  avail- 
able for  adoption. 

SMC  Off-Campus  activities  op- 
erates a  big  brother/big  sister 
program  for  the  Bonny  Oaks 
School.  Many  students  act  as  a 
big  brother/ sister  to  a  child  there. 
Kirk  King  is  the  boys'  director 
and  Colleen  Hogan  is  director  for 
the  girls. 

For  Christmastime  the  Bonny 
Oaks  ministry  would  like  to  do 
something  special  for  the  children 
at  Bonny  Oaks.  "The  children 
must  learn  the  experience  of  giv- 


ing as  well  as  receiving.  But  the 
children  don't  have  money  to  go 
buy  with  even  if  they  wanted  to. 
Also,  the  children  are  in  need  of 
clothing,"  said  King. 

The  plan  is  this:  A  box  marked 
"Remember  Bonny  Oaks  Decem- 
ber 3"  will  be  placed  in  the 
Student  Center.  In  the  box  paper 
ballots  on  which  a  child's  name 
and  clothing  sizes  are  written. 
Other  ballots  are  marked  "cash."* 
Students  can  draw  out  a  ballot 
and  act  accordingly. 

These  gifts  will  be  brought  to 
College  Sabbath  School  on  Dec.  3 
and  placed  under  the  Christmas 
tree  during  a  carol  sing.  The  cash 
will  be  divided  among  the  child- 
ren, and  they  will  go  shopping 
with  their  big  brother/sister  to 
buy  presents  for   each   other. 

Then  Dec.  10,  the  Big  Party  will 
be  given  for  the  children.  Each 
child  will  receive  three  gifts:  one 
from  an  SMC  student  (clothing), 
one  from  their  big  brother/sister, 
and  one  from  each  other.

Entrance  Road    To    Be 
Paved  For  Thanksgiving 


D  Dennis  Canther 

City  Manager  Lee  Holland  said 
the  new  road  will  be  paved  and 
barricaded  for  several  weeks. 

The  entrance  road  into  College- 
dale  is  now  ready  for  paving. 
The  gravel  is  put  on  wet  and 
needs  one  to  two  weeks  to  cure. 
Then  a  double  penetration  as- 
phalt treatment  is  applied  and  the 
road  will  be  ready  for  traffic. 

'  'Please  do  not  attempt  to  move 
barricades    or    drive    around 


them,"  Holland  requested.  "If 
the  road  is  driven  on  before  it  has 
cured,  it  will  have  to  be  regraded 
and  repacked.  This  will  prolong 
the  opening  of  the  road." 

Contingent  on  the  weather, 
Hamilton  County  will  lay  down 
the  gravel  on  the  entrance  road 
next  week. 

Holland  anticipates  a  paved 
surface  to  drive  on  by  Thanks- 
giving.

Letters  To  The  Editor 


Dear  Editor: 

I  commend  Garrison's  burning 
concern  for  our  tottering  inferno, 
the  venerable  Lynn  Wood  Hall. 
In  response  to  his  question: 
"What would  happen  to  the  stud- 
ents if  any  one  of  our  campus 
buildings  caught  fire?"  I'd  sup- 
pose he  really  means  the  alleged 
tindertraps.  Jones  and  Lynn 
Wood;  the  answer  is.  they'd  get 
soaied,  students  and  buildings. 
Or  that's  ray  observation,  based 
on  the  few,  paltry  flare-ups 
during  my  campus  tenure.  Water 


and  termites  are  doing  more  harm 
than  fire,  to  date. 

Seriously,  however,  1  concur 
with  his  plea  for  a  better  system 
of  evacuation  such  as  specified 
routes.  Student  damage  from 
other  students  seems  more  the 
threat  in  case  of  fire.  Sprinklers 
are  no  cure  for  that.  Good  point. 
Art. 

Sincerely, 
R.B.  Gechart 


Dear  Editor: ' 

Is  there  anyone  on  campus  with  month  for  something;  is  it  too 

enough  authority  to  get  us  some  much  to  ask  that  we  get  what  we

Editorial 


This  is  a  shortie.  but  we  just  wanted  to  remind  you  to  turn  to  p.  4 
and  5.  There  is  such  a  thing  as  Christian  rock,  even  though  the  term 
sounds  like  a  contradiction  in  itself.  Some  of  this  rock  is  horrible, 
horrible.  Other  forms  you  just  don't  know  what  to  do  with  since  it 
sounds  so  kosher. 

We  have  reprinted  an  article  that  is  pro  Christian  rock.  We  also 
asked  some  knowledgeable  instructors  to  critique  the  article.  And 
critique  they  did.  A  fine  job.  Those  of  you  who  love  formulating 
opinions  and  debating  will  have  a  heyday  on  p.  4  and  5.

Dear  Editor: 

Just  a  comment,  uh.  in  passing 
you  might  say.  Last  Sabbath, 
Oct.  22,  just  happened  to  be  the 
133rd  anniversary  of  the  Great 
Disappointment  {for  those  of  you 
who  missed  it).  This  disappoint- 
ment was  the  culmination  of  years 
of  preaching  and  evangelizing  by 
William  Miller  and  his  associates. 
And  it  was  the  beginning  of  the 
investigative  judgment,  a  doc- 
trine that  makes  Seventh-day  Ad- 
ventiste  as  distinct  from  other 
churches  as  prophets  are  from 
witches. 

Which  brings  me  to  my  second 
point.  This  last  weekend  we 
hallowed  the  halls  of  Halloween. 
What  was  done  about  it?  Why,  a 
costume  party  of  course  with  lots 
of  fun  and  games.  All  those  in 
attendance  were  even  provided 
with  masks.  Every  precaution 
was  taken  to  insure  the  enjoyment 
of  every  individucal  that  they 
have  the  opportunity  to  really  get 
in  the  spirit  of  this  most  illus- 
trious occasion. 

Now  don't  get  me  wrong.  Miss 
Henderson.  I  am  not  knocking 
the  social  activities  program. 
Ditto,  ditto,  dittollin  You're 
doing  your  job  is  not  my  concern. 
My  concern  is:  Where  are  those 
whose  responsibility  it  is  to  keep 
the  Adventist  heritage  alive  in  the 
minds  of  the  students?  A  heri- 
tage with  a  message  that  is  to  be 
rung  throughout  the  land  til  no 
one  will  hear  it.  A  heritage  with  a 
message  that  points  to  the  Sa- 
viour of  the  world. 

Forgive  me  for  having  to  step 
on  Halloween  a  little,  but  when 
the  fact  is  brought  to  mind  that 
Adventist  youth  are. dropping  out 


of  the  church  like  flies  it  should 
awaken  a  primal  scream  of  con- 
cern from  the  soul  of  every  SDA 
Christian.  MaybeJ'm  straining  at 
gnats,  but  opportunities  to  bring 
the  truth  home  to  the  hearts  of  the 
youth,  such  as  Oct.  22,  should 
never  be  passed  by.  Just  because 
we  have  an  altar  call  every  sab- 
bath does  not  mean  every  oppor- 
tunity is  being  fulfilled.  Maybe 
administrative  schedules  did  not 
allow  for  planning  a  program  of 
special  emphasis,  but  surely 
there  could  have  been  an  after- 
noon prayer  meeting  organized 
that  day  for  those  who  would  have 
liked  to  discuss  the  significance  of 
the  event  and  its  place  in  our  lives 
today. 

May  God  forgive  us  for  the 
opportunities  we  let  slip  through 
our  hand  for  the  furthering  of  His 
truth,  and  for  considering  these 
things  just  in  passing. 

Respectfully, 

Arthur  J.  Cisneros

Dear  Editor: 

The  day  is  drawing  near  when 
the  twenty-five  foot  statue  of 
praying  hands  holding  a  bleeding 
heart  will  grace  our  campus. 
Much  debate  has  been  aired  as  to 
whether  this  is  a  blessing  or  a 
curse.  Having  followed  the  argu- 
ments for  and  against  this  piece 
of  art,  I  now  offer  the  opinion  of  a 
lowly  student. 

The  article  in  the  last  issue  of 
this  newspaper  explained  the 
meaning  of  the  statue,  and  now 
those  who  read  that  article  have 
an  idea  of  what  the  artist  is 
saying.  What  about  those  who 
will  view  the  figure  and  have  not 
read  our  newspaper?  Will  there 
be  any  confusion  as  to  the  mean- 
ing of  this  religious  expression? 
Perhaps  we  can  aid  those  who 
drive  by  and  do  not  know  by 
erecting  a  huge  billboard  with,two 
foot  high  letters  that  tell  the  story 
"  while  a  small  plaque  will  unfold 
the  tale  for  those  who  walk  near. 

How  could  this  work  of  art  be 
misinterpreted  by  others?  To 
history  buffs  it  could  represent 
the  ancient  system  of  human  sac- 
rifices. In  various  cults  it  was  the 
practice  to  rip  the  heart  from  the 
living  victim  and  hold  it  up,  still 
beating,  as  an  offering  to  the  sun. 
To  others  it  may  appear  that  we 
are  joining  with  other  religious 
groups  who  display  images  and 
statues. 

Our  friends  who  use  the  cruci- 
fix at  least  have  a  symbol  that  is 
clearly  understood.  It  represents 
the  death  of  Christ  on  the  cross 
and  puzzles  no  one.  If  we  need  a 
symbol  to  convey  a  religious  mes- 
sage, would  something  meaning- 
ful like  a  huge  table  of  God's  law 
do  a  better  job? 

Apparently  there  was  unani- 
mous consent  to  erect  this  piece 
of  art.  At  this  point  one  can  only 
speculate  as  to  the  reasons  for 
acceptance.  Perhaps  the  doner 
gives  other  gifts  to  the  school  and 
no  one  wished  to  offend  him. 
Maybe  the  idea  of  something  free 
was  to  hard  to  turn  down.  It  ij 
entirely  possible  all  concerned 
reaUy  do  like  it  and  believe  every 
one  else  wUI.  The  last  possibUity 
is  that  because  others  have  sta- 
tues we  must  imitate  and  do 
liketA^se. 

This  letter  may  sound  like  a 

protest  and  that  is  what  it  « 

meant  to  be.  One  tiny  squeak  ww 

do  little  to  stop  this  project,  but  a 

least,  it's  on  the  record.    Ma°'

Kuhlman  Attends  Convention, 
Acquires  Insect  Cookbook

Shut  your  mouth

DDebra  Gainer 

Dr.  H.H.  Kuhlman,  chairman 
of  the  biology  department,  at- 
tended the  National  Association 
of  Biology  Teachers  convention  in 
Anaheim,  Calif.,  Oct.  20-23.  This 
four  day  session  is  held  annually 
for  teachers  across  the  nation  to 
have  a  chance  to  see  what's  hap- 
pening in  their  field,  to  catch  up 
on  new  trends. 

Dr.  Kuhlman  had  an  option  of 
different  tours  in  the  area  -  from 
marine  biology  to  interplanetary 
technology. 

Kuhlman  chose  to  go  to  the  Jet 
Propulsion  Laboratory  at  the  Cal- 
ifornia Institute  of  Technology  in 
Pasadena.  The  tour  group  was 
shown  how  the  laboratory  is  trac- 
ing the  flights  of  Voyagers  1  and 
2,  two  satellites  launched  from 
Florida's  space  craft  center  in 
August.  According  to  the  pro- 
posed schedule,  the  satellites  will 
pass  Jupiter  in  1979  and  reach  the 
ringed  Saturn  in  1980  and  1981 
respectively.  Voyager  2  may  then 
sail  four  more  years  on  to  Uranus. 
Its  mission  of  exploration  com- 
pleted, the  craft  will  drift  on  oui 
of  range.  Dr.  Kuhlman  found  the 
laboratory,  managed  by  '"al  Tech 
for  NASA,  sc  fascinating  '.nat  he 
could  have  spent  several  days 
there. 

On  Friday,  several  lecture  sym- 


posia were  offered,  geared  pri- 
marily around  the  food  resource 
problem  of  the  worid.  Dr.  Kuhl- 
man attended  two  of  the  lectures. 
One  proposed  more  equal  distri- 
bution of  food  resources  through- 
out the  world,  and  the  other 
proposed  the  solution  of  untapped 
food  sources  -  weeds,  algae,  and 
insects. 
One  symposium  member  hand- 


ed out  samples  of  honeybee  cook- 
ies. These  were  reported  to  be 
quite  tasty.  Dr.  Kuhlman  has 
written  for  the  recipe  book  Insects 
for  Food,  and  those  interested  in 
obtaining  recipes  may  check  with 
him. 

The  College  sponsors  one  such 
convention  for  department  chair- 
men annually.

Opinion 

Rock  Can  Still  Carry  A  Solvation 


By  Lowell  Cauffiel,  reprinted  with 
permission  from  the  National  Courier, 
June  10.  1977 

For  some  Christians,  the  pinnacle 
of  decadence  in  today's  culture  is  the 
ever-popular  breed  of  music  called 
rock  'n  roll. 

A  zealous  example  of  that  belief 
was  a  record-fueled  bonfire  by  a  Bap- 
tist pastor  in  Tallahassee,  Fla..  in 
1975.  reported  by  the  national  press 
and  subject  of  a  feature  story  in  the 
popular  rock-culture  publication,  Rol- 
ling Stone. 

After  a  convincing  sermon  by  the 
preacher,  young  Christians  in  the  con- 
gregation gave  up  their  rock  albums  in 
sacrifice,  and  $2,000  worth  of  recorded 
materials  was  doused  with  gasoline 
and  torched. 

But  what  -  or  who  •-  was  really 
getting  burned? 

The  pastor  has  condemned  the 
records  for  "the  relationship  rock 
music  has  with  illicit  sex.  drugs  and 
revolution."  Precisely,  he  had  said  it 
was  rock's  "syncopated  rhythms"  that 
prompted  sexual  promiscuity  among 

Holbrook— 


teens  listening  to  the  musical  style. 

But  really,  the  sermon  and  subse- 
quent fire  was  a  modem-day  version  of 
a  phenomena  that's  been  with  the 
Christian  Church  for  centuries. 

Religious  witch  hunts  against  art 
forms  --  especially  contemporary 
musical  forms  -  have  been  e^^ping 
many  well-meaning  Christi|B's  long 
before  rock  ever  reared  its  fiead  on  the 
music  scene. 

Examples: 

In  the  14th  century,  Pope  John 
XXII  issued  an  official  decree  prohibit- 
ing the  use  of  certain  harmony  ar- 
rangements by  church  choirs.  These 
harmonies,  en  innovation  in  musical 
development  at  the  time,  we-e  consid- 
ered improper  for  praise  to  God. 

Later,  in  colonial  America,  the 
Congregational  churches  of  the  1700s 
forbade  the  violin  in  church  service 
because  it  was  a  popular  instrument 
with  dances.  It  was  often  called  "the 
voiceof  the  devil."  Earlier,  the  organ 
had  been  taboo  with  many  Protestant 
denominations.   It  still  is  with  some. 

These  were  internal  church 
policies,  but  new  music  has  had  simi- 


lar condemnation  problems  as  it  has 
surfaced  intjl^ecular  environment. 

Wh^^OlF"  prohibited  to  speak 
to  ettS^Sf^  in  the  fields  -  began 
singing  refrains  to  the  beat  of  a  hoe  or 
the  rh)'thm  of  cotton  picking,  there 
came  the  birth  of  the  blues.  These 
tales  of  hard  tim^  were  scorned  as 
"devil  songs"  by  many  Southern  de- 
nominations. 

Later,  jazz  with  its  off-beat,  free- 
form  instrumentals  was  criticized  — 
and  stilt  is  by  many  fundamentalists. 

So  today  there's  rock,  where  the 
amplified  tone  of  an  electric  guitar  is 
seen  as  the  voice  of  debauchery  by 
some  Christian  critics. 

The  folly  of  banning  an  instrument 
such  as  the  violin  or  certain  vocal 
harmonies  would  seem  evident  to  most 
Christians  these  days. 

Yet,  looking  at  that  fire  in  Florida, 
the  same  continues  under  a  different 
guise. 


-  --  -nins"  cited 

by  the  pastor  can  also  be  found  in 
black  (and  some  white)  gospel  tnask^ 
one  of  America's  greatest  culturaia 
treasures  and  a  musical  root  of  rockl 
itself.  '' 

From  a  music  theory  standpo 
most  rock  consists  of  three  chorils 
which  also  happen  to  be  the  foundation 
for  spirituals,  country  music,  swing 
jazz,  easy  listening,  some  classical  and 
many  other  musical  forms. 

True,  crass  and  self-indulgent  sen- 
suality permeates  a  good  portion  of  i 
rock  these  days.  ' 

But  two  other  factors  must  be ' 
considered.  ; 

First,  rock  has  so  expanded  as  an  i 
art  form  in  the  past  two  decades,  iti 
defies  the  kind  of  generalizations! 
many  try  to  tag  on  it.

Nailing  Down  The  Rock  Message 


Dear  Vimta: 

Here  is  a  brief  evaluation  of 
Mr.  Lowell  Cauffiel's  article 
entitied  "Rock  Can  StlD  Carry  A 
Salvation  Message. ' ' 

In  my  opinion  the  writer 
employs  some  specious  reasoning 
to  nullify  the  arguments  against 
an  art  fonn  he  favors.  Redoes 
this  by  mingling  two  different 
matters:  violins  and  certain 
harmonies  on  the  one  hand  and 
certain  musical  forms  on  the 
other.  The  point  is  this: 

(1)  Some  things  are  not  wrong 
in  themselves,  but  can  in  certain 
contexts  give  a  wrong  influence 
against  the  Christian  faith.  This 
is  the  case  of  the  violin  (and 
possiblv  the  harmonies,  he  refers 
to). 

If  in  the  common  mind  of  a 
given  period,  the  violin,  or 
harmonies,  or  sax,  etc.  were 
associated  with  various  evil 
situations  and  therefore  implied 
certain  wrong  connotations,  then 
Christians  could  not  in  good 
conscience  employ  such  in  their 
worship  lest  they  would  bring 
reproach  upon  the  name  of 
Christ. 

If  the  cultural  viewpoint 
changed  and  such  could  be 
properly  used  without  bringing 
dishonor  to  God,  then  the  Church 
could  use  such.  In  dealing  with 
such  matters  the  Church  can 
never  be  avantgarde.  It  can  never 
afford  to  unnecessarily 
misrepresent  the  Gospel  and 
cause  a  loss  of  souls  for  whom 
Christ  died. 

(2)  Some  things  are  always 
wrong,  no  matter  what  garb  you 
clothe  them  in  or  in  what  cultural 
situation  they  take  place.  This  is 
where  1  would  place  any  variety  of 
rock  music. 

Why?  Answer:  There  are 
various  forms  of  music  and  they 
have  various  effects  upon  the 


human  mind  and  body.  Some 
have  »  wholesome  effect,  others 
:ar  down  and  blunt  the 
nsitivities. 

form  of  music  similar 
ititive,  hypnotic  dance 
music  ofsome  pagan  cultures.  It 
is  what  might  be  called  *  'body 
music"  —  its  beat  and  sound 
move  and  jerk  you.  If  pursued,  it 
will  noAra  Christian's 
sensiti^fy  to  spiritual  things. 

Religious  words  can  be  put  to 
this  forra  of  rhythm,  but  the 
appeal  of  the  rock  will  be  to  the 
body  and  the  senses  ■-  not  to  the 
heart.  The  author  admits  this 
indirectly.  Note: 

(1)  "The  Messiah  WUl  Come 
Again."  Comment:  "apletdng, 
guitar-dominated  song."  Notice 
what  comes  through  --  sound,  but 
not  Jesus. 

(2)  "Jesus  is  Justji^BfflJght 
WitiiMe."  Commenff^^ 
Qoor-stomphig  arrangeiriietlt" 
Notice  what  comes  through  -- 
body  motion,  and  excitement,  but 
Jesus  is  not  glorified. 

(3)  Andrae  Crouch  and  the 
Disciples  -  Comment:  "Driving, 
syncopated  rhythms  there"  -- 
body  movement,  emotional 
excitement,  but  no  Jesus. 

(4)  "Fierce  musicianship,"  but 
noJesus.  "The  form  is  employed 
to  deliver  the  social,  mental  or 
spiritiial  state  of  the  author  of  the 
work;  in  this  case,  the  rock 
nmslcan."  Notice,  the  musician 
is  glorified,  but  not  Jesus. 

On  the  basis  of  the  writer's  own 
admission  his  article  belles  his 
title;  Rock  can  still  carry  a 
salvation  message.  What  he 
admits  that  religious  rock  really 
carries  is  "piercing, 
guitar- dominated  song." 
"floor-stomping"  arrangements, 
and  "driving,  syncopated 
rhythms." 


The  religious  message  is  lost. 
Hearts  are  not  touched  or 
convicted  by  God's  Spirit.  lives 
are  not  changed  from  sin  to 
righteousness,  the  mind  is  not 
lifted  heavenward  to  spiritual 
realities.  God  is  neither 
worshipped  nor  honored. 

Outride  the  area  of  religious 
rock  the  author  is  willing  to  admit 
that  "crass  and  self-indulgent 
sensuality  permeates  a  good 
portion  of  rock  these  days,"  --  his 
own  indictment  of  an  art  form  he 
favors. 

I  do  not  see  how  we  as  SDA 
Christians  could  endorse  or 
promote  a  form  of  music  that  has 
proven  to  be  detrimental  to  the 
spiritual  interests  of  Christians 
even  though  at  times  some  have 
tried  to  ■  'baptise' '  it  with 
religious  words. 

My  hat  is  off  to  the  pastor  and 
his  young  Baptist  members  who 
have  had  the  courage  of  their 
convictions  to  choose  far  more 
wholesome  forms  of  music  and  to 
desti-oy  the  records  that  were 
destroying  them  spiritually. 

Sincerely  yours. 
Frank  B.  Holbrook 
Professor  of  Religion

Dear  Vinita: 

Thanks  for  the  opportunity  to 
comment  on  one  of  my  favorite 
subjects.  I  enjoyed  reading  the 
article  "Rock  Can  SHII  Carry  A 
Salvation  Message."  The  author, 
Mr.  Lowell  Cauffiel,  obviously 
brings  a  great  deal  of  musical 
(musicians's)  expertise  to  his  sub- 
ject. But  thereby  he  also  brings 
some  obvious  biases  (writes  for 
Guitar  Player  Magazine). 

It  is  very  difficult  for  a  musician 
to  be  completely  objective  about 
his  music  (or  preachers  to  be 
unbiased  about  preaching).  I'm 
sure  his  range  of  comprehension. 
and  perhaps  tolerance,  is  much 
""''^t  than  that  of  the  general 


But  here  again  this  may  simply 
mean  that  he  is  prababl;i||i^qjg 
forget  the  narrow  context  of  allu- 
sion in  which  the  average  listener 
hears  and  appreciates  music.  I 
mean  that  the  average  listener 
may  associate  only  one  set  of 
images  with  the  familiar  synco- 
pated rock  beat,  the  one  he  is 
most  familiar  with.    He  may  not

Ashton  — 

"And  Deliver   Us--"  From   Rock? 

Dear  Vinita: 

I  shall  address  Mr.  Cauffiel's  article  on  two  levels:  first  a  two-paragraph  critique 
of  the  article  itself,  then  some  comments  on  specific  statements  contained  in  it. 

It  should  be  noted  that  there  is  no  direct  correlation  between  the  title  and  the 
body  of  the  article.  Cauffiel  mentions  two  songs,  each  containing  some  reference  to 
Jesus.  Jesus,  on  the  other  hand,  mentions  persons  who  say,  "Lord,  Lord,"  but  do 
not  do  the  Father's  will.  Such,  He  says,  will  not  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 
Such,  He  says,  will  not  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  If  Cauffiel  wishes  to  justify 
rock  in  terms  of  genuine  Christianity,  let  him  show  how  rock  strengthens  faith, 
invites  repentance,  nourishes  the  fruits  of  the  Spirit,  develops  obedience  to  the  given 
law  of  God,  or  in  any  other  way  reveals  the  will  of  Jehovah. 

Furthermore,  the  illustrations  intended  to  add  weight  to  rock's  defense  have  little 
to  do  with  the  arguments  undertaken.  No  one  will  argue  with  Cauffiel's  statement 
that  the  Doobie  Brothers'  song  is  rock.  So  what?  That  simple  fact  does  not  justify  its 
inclusion  in  gospel  methodology.  Since  when  does  a  song  being  rock,  or  being  a  hit, 
or  being  played  on  secular  stations  daily  for  weeks  have  anything  to  do  with  even 
nominal  Christianity,  let  along  genuine  conversion  or  a  bom-again  life-style? 
And  that  bonfire  --  were  there  any  Jesus-rock  records  burned?  He  neither  states  nor 
implies  that  there  were,  and  he  openly  admits  that  "a  good  portion  of  rock"  is 
permeated  with  "crass  and  self-indulgent  sensuality."  which  he  has  the  good  sense 
not  to  defend.  Later  he  speaks  of  rock  music  that  lacks  redeeming  value.  If  that's 
what  the  Florida  youth  burned,  maybe  it  was  just  as  well.  In  short,  I  find  the  article 
itself  underdeveloped,  unconvincing,  with  almost -every  paragraph  crying  out  for 
discussion,  challenge,  or  possible  refutation. 

In  particular:  We, enjoy  scoffing  at  various  papal  decrees  as  ineffective,  out  of 
touch  with  the  times,  and  somehow  not  very  intelligent.  Could  it  be  that  the  Pope 
was  acting  in  the  long-term  best  interests  of  the  church?  The  worst  thing  Ellen 
White  says  about  traditional  Catholic  music  is  that  it  accompanied  an  insufficient 
religion,  leaving  the  heart  of  the  worshipper  empty.  Aesthetically,  she  describes 
such  music  as  "unsurpassed. ...impressing  the  heart  with  awe  and  reverence." 
(What  a  powerful  combination  it  would  make  if  the  real  gospel  were  to  be  presented

connotations  are  largely  lost  sight  them.  (3)  Biblically,  there  are  a 
of.  the  music  is  taken  up  into  the  number  of  evidences  that  the 
service  of  religious  expression  same  process  was  occuring 
and  given  new  coloring,  i.e.,  a  anciently,  with  God's  apparent 
new  setting.  Often  those  who 
now  sing  or  enjoy  the  music  in 
worship  remain  unaware  of  its 
original  intimation. 

A  very  cursory  survey  of  our 
own  Chorch  Hymnal  reveals  that 
a  number  of  tunes  we  presently 
sing  have  similar  origins  in  sec- 
ular music  (e.g.,  #162.  "O  Thou 
in  Whose  Presence"  (an  old  folk- 
song); i^lBl.  "Ye  Who  Rose  to 
Meet  the  Lord"  (an  old  Scottish 
bagpipe  air)).  Louis  Burgeois 
(1510-1561)  aided  John  Calvin  at 
Geneva  by  providing  '.'altered 
secular"  melodies  for  metrical 
psalms,  and  we  must  not  forget 
the  rain  of  criticism  that  descend- 
ed upon  Charles  Wesley  for  offer- 
ing a  type  of  sacred  music  to  the 
people  of  his  day  strangely  com- 
parable to  the  secular  tunes  of  the 
time  I 

Today,  we  can  see  a  corres- 
ponding process,  as  a  rock  tune, 
in  altered  form,  passes  into  the 
"easy  listening"  category  and 
finally  appears  with  religious 
words.  As  this  happens,  archaiz- 
ing and  disassdciation  from  its 
previous  milieu  render  the  piece 
usable  for  religious  experience,

RAS--  Keeping  The  Peace  Jaking  The  Rap 


by   Rhonda  Runyan. 


:    Lydia  Smtlh 

RA's  (Resident  Assistants)  are 
usually  moaned  and  groaned  at. 
often  despised,   only  sometimes 

Sallv  McMillan.  RA  on  That- 
cher's Third  West  and  Daniel 
Pabon.  RA  on  Tatge's  new  wing 
A.  were  cross-examined  concern- 
ing their  infamous  jobs. 

What  are  the  qaallflcations  for 
being  an  RA? 

Pabon:  You  have  to  be  a 
resident  of  the  dorm  for  one  year 
and  an  upper  classman,  and  have 
a  GPA  of  2.50.  You  got  to 
communicate  well  with  the  guys 
and  be  able  to  take  jokes,  be 
lokTdir.  understanding,  and  be 
a  leader  spiritually.  You  should 
also  be  well-groomed  and  set 
examples  that  the  guys  will  fol- 
low. No  personal  problems  can 
interfere. 

Conld  yoD  give  examples  of  the 
most  coomion  problems  a  student 
has? 

McMillan;  Homesickness,  boy- 
friends, siudics.  scheduling  for 
classes,  financial  problems,  sleep 
and  recreational  schedules,  and 
then  religion. 

Pabon:  Freshmen  wanting  to 
go  home,  crowded  situations  in 
the  rooms,  arguments,  loud  mu- 
sic, and  some  guys  think  that  the 
RA  is  out  to  get  them. 

How  do  yoD  handle  these  prob- 
lems? 


Making   Collards

DKay  Campbell    - 

The  sun  shone  with  an  ener- 
getic brightness  as  we  bent  with 
our  rakes  to  smooth  the  dirt.  Our 
hands,  unaccustomed  to  anything 
rougher  than  Bic  pens,  soon  de- 
veloped blisters,  and  our  backs 
grew  weary  as  we  struggled  to 
prepare  our  garden  plots. 

Is  this  a  new  punishment  for 
truency?  No.  And  the  students 
you  might  see  working  their  gar- 
den plots  across  from  the  church, 
Vi*.h.nH  tVii.-  telephone  company,  or 
hiirni.-ilK  craping  the  soil  from 
utrneai..  their  fingernails  in  your 
class  are  paying  $89  per  semester 
hour  for  those  blisters! 

"Science  of  Gardening"  (AGRI 
105)  is  team-taught  by  Mr.  Lacey. 
director  of  the  grounds  depart- 
ment, and  Mr.  McKamey.  who 
came  to  SMC  in  the  spring  of 
1975-  The  present  program  was 
begun  the  second  semester  of 
1974-75  school  year,  in  an  effort 
to  follow  more  closely  Mrs. 
White's  guidelines  for  our  schools 
and  education.  Drew  Tudington. 
the  associate  professor  of  indus- 
trial arts  was  part  of  the  impetus, 
which  includes  Dr.  Kennedy  of 
the  Education  Department.  Mr. 
McKamey  would  like  to  see  the 
program  enlarge  to  eventually 
provide  for  a  minor,  or  even  an 
associate  degree  in  horticulture. 

ate  degree  would  be  especially 
helpful  to  the  theology  majors  as 
well  as  educators. 

This  fall's  class  of  15  students 
is  comprised  mainly  of  Education 
majors.  Even  as  you  read  this 
article,  their  lettuce,  cabbages, 
hruNsel  sprouts  and  collard 
Hreen^  are  coming  to  maturity-an 


Pabon:  I  talk  to  them.  listen, 
pray  with  them,  and  iindcrsiand 
their  problems. 

When  Is  an  RA  expected  to  be 
In  their  room? 

Pabon:  From  7:30  -  10:30  p.m. 
every  night  with  my  doors  open  so 
the  fellows  will  know  that  I'm  in 
or  I  go  to  them  if  1  know  they're 
having  problems.  Weekends  we 
can  go  out  wherever  the  crowd 
goes,  and  if  the  crowd  chooses  to 
stay  in  the  dorm,  then  I  must  be 
there. 


What  would  happen  If 
needed  yoo  and  you  weren't  a- 
vailable? 

McMillan:  We  have  a  buddy 
system  where  the  other  RA  on  our 
wing  takes  over  for  us  when  it's 
our  night  or  weekend  off. 

How  much  does  the  Job  pay? 

McMillan:  $1,500  a  year,  in- 
cluding no  room  charge. 

Pabon:  $1,560  a  year,  room 
charge  included,  plus  I  have  to 
work  desk  duties  as  well. 

Have  you  ever  felt  bad  about 
being  an  RA  or  dong  something 
you  didn't  like  doing? 

McMillan:  Yes,  like  when  I 
have  to  tell  the  girls  to  turn  down 
their  stereo.  But  it's  part  of  my 
job.  Others  are  trying  to  study 
and  the  loud  music  distracts 
them. 


advantage  the  autumn  class  has 
over  the  spring  class,  who  leave 
before  they  reap  their  harvest 
As  Mr.  McKamey  pointed  out 
the  3-hour  course  is  only  able  to 
scratch  the  surface  of  the  science 
of  gardening.  It  focuses  on  the 
basics  of  plant  culture,  indoors 
and  outside,  and  some  principles 
of  landscaping,  pest  control,  and 
a  basic  understanding  of  what 
makes  plants  thrive,  and  what 
kilts  them. 

As  a  member  of  this  class,  even 
yet  in  a  quasi-experimental  stage 
1  am  enthusiastic  about  its  pos 
sibiUries.  and  the  benefits  1  know 
lam  receiving.  As  a  teaching  tool 
to  use  in  our  elementary  schools 
as  a  personal,  profitable  hobby 
and.  in  a  small  way,  being  a 
partner  with  God  in  His  creating, 
it  is  well  worth  the  time,  blisters, 
and  lectures  it  requires.  To  sum- 
marize its  value.  1  can  say  it  no 
better    than    Ellen    White,    who 

"In  the  cultivation  of  the  soil 
the  thnnehttui  worker  will  find 
thai  irc.isiir..  little  dreamed  of 
are  opening  up  before  him. ...In 
cultivating  carefulness,  patience, 
attention  to  detail,  obedience  to 
law.  it  imparts  a  most  essential 
trammg.  The  constant  contact 
with  the  myster>'  of  life  and  the 
loveliness  of  nature,  as  well  as  the 
tenderness  called  forth  in  min- 
istering to  these  beautiful  objects 
of  God's  creation,  tends  to  quick- 
en the  mind  and  refine  and  ele- 
vate the  character;  and  the  les-

Pabon:  No,  not  really,  jj 
depends  on  how  you  handle  it. 

Is  this  your  first  year  as  an  RA? 

McMillan:  No.  I've  been  an 
RA  now  for  one  full  year  before 
this  year. 

Pabon:  No.  This  is  my  second 
year. 

Do  you  feel  it's  a  privUeoe 
being  an  RA?  ^' 

Pabon:  Yes,  there  are  about  40 
guys  that  apply  for  this  job  and 
many  qualify  for  it.  The  deans 
have  to  narrow  it  down  to  a 
handful  and  choose.  So  you're 
fortunate  to  get  an  RA  position. 
Usually  an  RA  has  to  be  super 
dedicated  to  fulfilling  his  respon- 
sibilities. 

Do  you  feel  that  dorm  worship 
Is  necessary  every  night? 

McMillan:  I'm  for  it  because 
the  students  tend  to  get  wrapped 
up  in  their  studies  and  forget 
about  Christ  and  the  Holy  Spirit. 
Here  they  have  a  chance  to  relax 
and  draw  nearer  to  Christ  on  a 
daily  basis. 

Pabon:  Yes.  I  like  it  very  much 
because  it  provides  us  with  a 
variety  of  speakers  and  music 
styles.    It's  a  time  of  relaxation. 

Have  you  ever  encountered  ao 
individual  possesed  to  some  ei' 
tent  or  maybe  even  spiritually 
low? 

McMillan:  No,  nothing  like 
exorcism,  but  1  do  witness  for 
Christ. 

Pabon:  Once  a  guy  wanted  to 
commit  suicide  and  I  had  to  talk 
him  out  of  it.  And  if  anybody 
shows  signs  of  a  spiritual  low,  I'll 
go  to  them  on  my  own  and  talk  to 
them. 

How  do  yonr  friends  relate  to 
you  as  an  RA? 

Pabon:  One  or  two  have  com- 
plained that  it's  such  an  easy  job. 
But  they  don't  realize  that  some 
nights  I  have  to  stay  up  late, 
waiting  for  some  fellows  to  come 
in.  Outside  of  just  a  couple 
complaints,  all  my  friends  tree! 
me  the  same. 

Do  yon  have  a  roommate? 

McMillan:  Yes,  the  Thaichet 
RA's  have  roommates. 

Pabon:  No.  I  have  to  i""i" 
alone  so  that  no  one  will  interleu 
with  my  counseling.

yearbook  -  the  Southern  Memories. 

Why  have  P.R.  for  the  yearbook  which  we  all  will  receive  anyway?  Well,  actually 
we  are  promoting  what  the  yearbook  is  about,  not  really  the  book  itself

to  create  an  awareness  in  you  as  to  your  realizing  the  unique  sihiation  of  which  you 
are  a  part. 

Oiir  posters  tell  of  the  unity,  love,  joy,  spirituality,  etc.  of  and  between  we 
shldents.  We  hope  that  you  will  take  tiie  time- to  contemplate  the  message  of  each 
poster  which  we  are  now  posting  campus-wide. 

One  plea  in  closing  -  the  first  photo  placed  in  Thatcher  Hall  was  stolen. 
This  will  necessitate  bypassing  Thatcher  as  a  locale  for  these  in  the  ftihire. 
Fellow  brothers  and  sisters,  please  control  the  impulse  to  mark  on  or  steal  these 
posters.   We'd  like  to  continue  with  this  during  the  whole  year.

Rock  Cont. 


ASHTON  cont.  from  p.  5  - 


and  promoted  by  such  a  music, 

3  speaking  of  solemnit>',  of  earnest, 
intense,  heartfelt  in\-itation,  rath- 
er than  hv  the  frothy,  flippant,  or 
openly  sentimental  stuff  fre- 
quently pawned  off  as  gospel 
music  today.)  Is  there  really  any 
reason  to  believe  that  the  Roman 
church  improved  its  position  as 
"the"  arbiter  of  divine  grace  by 
gradually        accepting        the 


of 


music,  against  the  counsel  of  its 
leadership? 

Cauffiel  speaks  of  the  "ampli- 
fied tones  of  an  electric  guitar"  -- 
amplified  is  certainly  a  key  word, 
for  most  rock  is  intended  to  be 
experienced  at  dynamic  levels 
approaching  the  threshold  of 
pain.  (Goveniraent  regulations 
limit  newlv-constructed  jets  to  a 
take-off  sound  limit  of  108 
decibels;  rock  concerts  have  been 
known  to  hit  120  decibels,  and 
they  continue  for  hours  on  end.) 
This  bludgeoning  of  the  ear  and 
the  mind  hardly  seems  a  possible 
setting  for  "Be  still  and  know  that 
I  am  God."  or  "In  quietness  and 

strength."  Elijah  did  not  need 
the  cacophony  of  450  shrieking, 
stomping  priests  of  Baal  to  sell 
the  children  of  Israel  on  the 
saving  power  of  the  true  God. 
If  Christianit\'  is  to  be  persuasive 
(see  EGW  in  the  SDA  Bible  Com- 
mentary, vol.  1.  p.  1120),  then  it 
does  not  seem  right  to  link  it  with 
a  musical  style  which  Is  by  nature 


"Most  rock  consists  of  three 
chords."  With  this  statement 
Cauffiel  seems  to  legitimize  rock 
by  Unking  it  with  easy  listening, 
spirituals,  -'some  classical 
music."  etc.  Bui  music  is  much 
too  intangible,  too  indefinable  an 
experience,  to  be  sorted  out  pure- 
ly on  the  basis  of  its  simplicity  or 


complexity.  There  are  too  many 
other  elements  involved  (e.g., 
loudness,  tension  and  release, 
tone  qualit>',  rhythm,  even  the 
attitude  of  the  performer).  What- 
ever the  musical  appeal  of  rock,  it 
is  not  an  appeal  to  the  intellect. 
In  this  sense  rock  might  even 
seem  to  be  the  medium  of  the 
cheap  musician  -  even  a  beginner 
at  the  piano  can  rapidly  achieve  a 
passable  rock  sound,  needing 
only  two  or  three  chords  and  a 
loud,  relatively  undisciplined  ap- 
proach to  the  keys.  (But  whence 
does  he  move  then  toward  that 
"highest  development  of  all  our 
powers"  which  is  the  first  duty 
we  owe  to  God  and  to  our  fellow 

"To  judge  an  entire  youth  cul- 
ture hell  bound  (is)  fanaticism." 
Is  it  really,  now?  When  Jesus  felt 
compelled  to  lament.  "When  the 
Son  of  Man  cometh.  shall  He  find 
faith  on  the  earth;"  when  Ellen 
White  estimates  the  number  of 
youth  and/or  adults  within  pro- 
fessing Christendom  who  have  a 
genuine,  personal  salvation  ex- 
perience at  less  than  5  per  cent, 
how  can  we  view  an  entertain- 
ment-centered, sex-and-drug- 
linked,  "Switch-off-to-reality- 
and-blow-your-mind"  culture  in 
any  other  way?  Cauffiel  has  not 
grasped  the  distinction  which  the 
mind  of  God  sees  between  sin  and 
the  sinner,  and  he  objects  to 
alienating  the  latter  by  necessary 
condemnation  of  the  former. 
Of  course  we  need  to  touch  the 
lives  of  these  kids;  of  course  we 
need  to  reach  them  with  love, 
earnestly  leading  them  to  Christ; 
but  let  us  ;iot  fool  ourselves  with 
the  notion  that  rock  is  an  appro- 
priate means  of  preaching  the 
gospel  to  them.  Let  us  rather 
offer  them  a  gospel  of  deliverance 
from   uncontrolled    passion    and

abundant  life,  not  a  sickly  hybrid 
Jesus-freak  religion  propagated 
by  the  same  enslaving  means  that 
has  held  them  captive  in  the  past. 
If  we  belong  to  the  remnant 
church,  in  the  world  but  not  of  the 
world,  let  us  not  shun  the  "scorn 
and  ridicule"  which  may  result 
from  rightly  dividing  the  world  of 
truth,  from  steadfastly  opposing 
those  philosophies  and  practices 
which  are  inimicably  opposed  to 
the  gospel  of  real  salvation  in 
Jesus  Christ.

GLADSON  cont.  from  p.  5 

blessing  (e.g..  Ps.  104  contains  a 
number  of  parallels  to  the  Egyp- 
tian "Hymn  to  Aton").  (4)  The 
incarnation  suggests  that  God  al- 
ways seeks  to  communicate  His 
will  in  human  idiom.  Indeed, 
without  commonality  there  can  be 
no  revelation.  There  is  no  reason 
to  feel  that  music  should  be  ex- 
empt from  this  fact. 

My  remarks  should  in  no  way 
be  taken  as  an  endorsement  of 
rock  music.  Personally.  I  find 
such  music  abhorrent.  But  neith- 
er dare  I  say  that  God  could  not 
work  through  this  medium  if  He 
so  desired.  After  all.  He  did  some 
very  strange  things  in  Scripture. 
He  might  even  surprise  us  today!

Warrior's  Game 
Banned  By  Kings 


The  game  of  football  has  a  rich 
history  of  popularity.  The  famous 
pastime  has  its  roots  in  England, 
where  it  was  played  during  vil- 
lage festivals  in  medieval  ages. 

The  game  was  violent  from  its 
very  inception.  Fighting  a  war 
was  sometimes  less  important  to 
the  soldiers  than  playing  football. 
A  Scottish  writer  noted  that  the 
Anglo- Scottish  War  in  1297  was 
not  taken  with  proper  seriousness 
by  either  side.  King  Edward's 
men  were  from  Cheshire  and 
Lancashire.  The  Scotts  were  old 
rivals  in  football  as  well  as 
enemies  on  the  battlefield.  The 
Tianders  had  a  hard  time  of 
keeping  the  men  from  playing 
football  with  their  opponents. 

lagine  the  shock  of  the  lead- 
ers upon  seeing   their  men  en- 
aged  in  a  rough  game  with  the 
other  side."  Edward  111  decided 
1 1365  to  prohibit  football  for  this 
reason. 

Further  edicts  were  made  by 
Richard  II,  Henry  IV,  Henry  VIII, 
d  Elizabeth  I.   Football  became 
more  popular  nonetheless. 
Meanwhile,  the  festival  match- 
became  more  popular.     They 
had  the  marks  of  later  football 
th  passing,  running,  and  old- 
fashioned  tackling.    The  ball  was 
made  of  a  blown  bladder  covered 
with  leather.     Rugby  is  actually 
closer  to  the  early  game.     The 
olence  was  always  present. 
There  were  no  pads  to  absorb  the 
blows  and  "the  thousand  natural 
hocks  that  flesh  is  heir  to..."

When  games  got  out  of  hand 
players  would  kick  each  other's 
shins,  tear  clothes,  and  break 
some  heads.  A  Frenchman 
watching  a  game  at  Derby  ex 
claimed  that  if  this  is  the  English, 
man's  method  of  playing  it  would 
be  impossible  to  say  what  thev 
would  call  fighting.  ' 

Gradually,  a  player  was  al- 
lowed to  run  with  the  ball  and 
later,  pass.  The  U.S.  universities 
began  playing  intercollegiate 
games,  in  the  19th  century 
Harvard,  Yale,  Princeton,  and 
Rutgers  were  among  the  first 
schools  to  use  an  U-man  team. 
Football  evolved  from  Rugby  in 
several  successive  steps.  The 
quarterback,  touchdowns,  safe- 
Hes.  and  hiking  the  ball  were 
invented  in  the  U,S.

Men's  Qub.  On  Friday,  Oct.  28. 
Halversen  defeated  Ted  Evans  in 
three  sets,  2-6,  6-2,  6-4. 

After  Evans  took  the  openiag 
set  and  Halversen  the  second  by 
the  identical  score,  Halversen  put 
on  a  spectacular  rally  to  win  the 
match.  Evans  was  ahead  in  the 
final  set  4-2  with  his  service  score 
40-15  in  the  seventh  game.  Hal- 
versen broke  Evans'  service  win-

rest  of  the  games  of  the  set  and 
match. 

Evans  states,  "I  have  no  ex-

could  have  gone  either  way." 
It  was  a  well-played  match  in 
which  both  men  had  their  good 
games  going.  The  contest  took 
two  hours  to  play.

General  Embryology  class,  studying  the  growth  and  development 
of  orgamsms,  ,s  now  m.dway  into  their  semester  project.  Taught  by

half  hour  Ub""  """""^  ^'^"^  "  *"''''  "'""^  "'*  "  ^°  '"^  '^ 

The  project  consists  of  incubating  chicken  eggs  and  breaking 

frrtthand^"  ^'  ""'"'"'  ^^'  P"'"^^  »°  observe  the  developments 

During  incubation  the  students  assume  the  role  of  the  hen  by 

.  turnmg  the  eggs  four  times  a  day  for  21  days  -  that  is  84  trips  to  the 

mcubator. 
The  first  egg  is  opened  after  18  ho6rs  of  incubation  and  unless  the 

egg  happens  to  be  infertile,  the  students  can  already  discern  the 


differentiation  and  organization  of  the  cells  on  top  of  the  yolk 
(blastodisc).  Successive  observations  are  made  every  6  to  12  hours 
for  the  first  two  days.  Looking  at  the  embryo  at  about  48  hours,  the 
students  can  see  the  chicks  heart  begin  to  flutter  and  then  start  a 
steady  beat  of  about  148  beats  per  minute. 

Following  this,  eggs  are  opened  at  set  times  to  observe  further 
development,  with  the  embryo  coming  to  term  at  the  end  of  the  21 
days. 

"The  last  observation  is  the  hatching  process,"  stated  Mark 
Godenick,  senior  biology  major,  "and  each  student  is  to  allow  two 
eggs  to  hatch." 

The  hatched  chicks  are  then  usually  given  to  someone  who  lives  in 
the  country.

City  Votes  Not  To  Penalize 
Brown  Bros.  For  Road  Delay 


D  Dennis  Canther 

A  45-day  extension  has  been 
granted  Brown  Brothers  Con- 
struction Company  by  last  week's 
City  Commission  meeting. 

The  45-day  extension  of  time 
was  granted  the  Brown  Brothers 
Construction  Company  only  so  a 
penalty  would  not  be  invoked. 
This  will  not  prolong  the  comple- 
tion of  the  entrance  road,"  City 
Manager  Lee  Holland  said. 

Because  Brown  Brothers  did 
not  complete  the  road  construc- 
tion on  time  in  accordance  with 
the  contract,  CoUegedale  could 
impose  a  monetary  penalty  for 
each  day  the  road  construction 
exceeds  the  contract's  time  limit. 

In  the  City  Commission  meet- 
ing held  last  week,  however,  the 
commissioners  voted  unamimous- 
ly  not  to  penalize  Brown  Brothers 
and  to  extend  the  contract  for 
three  reasons,  said  Holland:  _ 

1-  American  'Telephone  and 
Telegraph,  the  Collegedale- 
Chickamauga  Telephone,  Chat- 
tanooga Gas,  and  the  Chatta- 
nooga Electric  Power  Board  were 
all  required  to  move  their  lines, 
either  off  the  hill  or  rerouted 
along  the  shoulder  of  the  new 
road,  which  took  longer  than  was 
estimated. 

2.  The  20-inch  rainfall  in  Oc- 
tober was  the  most  received  for 
that  month  in  a  100-year  history, 
making  construction  virtually  im- 
possible on  those  days  because  of 
muddy  road  conditions. 

3.  When  a  penalty  is  invoked 


against  a  construction  compan/, 
considering  the  above  reasons,  a 
bad  name  is  put  on  the  city  which 
hired  them.  When  the  city  needs 
other  construction  jobs  done, 
word  passed  between  construc- 
tion companies  will  cause  the  bids 
to  be  substantially  higher. 

Mayor  DeWitt  Bowen  said  the 
road  is  now  ready  for  the  stone 
base,  except  for  a  small  section  in 
front  of  McKee's  Plant  One. 
This  section  can  be  finished  while 
the  county,  expected  to  arrive  this 
week,  is  laying  the  stone  base  on 


the  hill. 

W.T.  McGhinnis,  city  commis- 
sioner of  public  works  and  roads, 
said  ','The  extension  will  not  af- 
fect how  soon  we  will  drive  on  the 
new  road.  This  will  only  allow  for 
necessary  guardrails,  seeding 
and  strawing  to  be  completed." 

"Some  seeding  and  the  com- 
pletion of  the  road  surface  will  be 
delayed  until  spring,  stated 
Holland,  "but  we  are  still  antici- 
pating completion  of  a  hard  sur- 
face for  Thanksgiving  or  soon 
after." 


Appliances  Talk  Back

TORONTO.  Canada  -  When  a 
Toronto  woman  complained  that 
her  electric  toaster  talked  back,  to 
her.  the  Canadian  Department  of 
Communications  was  somewhat 
Jess  than  surprised. 

It  was  just  another  of  the  100  to 
125  complaints  the  department 
receives  each  month  concerning 
citizens  band  radio-caused  inter- 
ference. According  to  John 
Nosotti,  the  department's  en- 
forcement supervisor,  CB  inter- 
ference is  being  picked  up  all 
through  Canada  by  a  variety  of 
products  ranging  from  TV  sets  to

In  the  case  of  the  Toronto  wo- 
man, she  had  just  scolded  her 
toaster  for  burning  the  toast 
when  it  replied  in  a  tinny  voice, 
"10-4.  good  buddy."  An  inspec- 
tor examining  the  situation  dis- 
covered that  the  toaster's  wire 
coils  were  vibrating  against  the 
tin  backplate.  giving  the  effect  of 
a  speaker. 

It  was  said  that  the  toaster  was 
resonant  at  the  same  frequency  as 
a  CB  unit  transmitting  from  a 
nearby  apartment  building. 

Nosotti  noted  that  whenever 
two  wires  inside  of  a  toaster  or 
kitchen  stove  are  the  collect 
length,  they  could  pick  up  CB 
energy  transmissions  and  give  an

This  year  the  students  of  the 
Art  Appreciation  class  will  jour- 
ney to  New  York  City  during  the 
Thanksgiving  break  to  increase 
their  knowledge  and  awareness  of 
the  famous  artists  and  their 
works. 

Fourteen  students  will  be 
traveling  to  the  Big  Apple  to  visit 
a  retrospective  showing  of 
Cezanne's  works  at  the  Museum 
of  Modem  Art,  an  exhibition  of 
Irish  treasures  from  the  late

$1,700-Prize  Offered 
To  Writers  By  Insight 


The  editors  of  Insight  have 
announced  the  1978  Writing 
Contest.  Cash  prizes  will  total 
$1,700  and  will  include  a  $500 
grand  award. 

The  contest  is  open  in  two 
categories:  the  short  story,  and 
poetry.  Separate  judges  will  be 
involved.  Prizes  in  each  category 
"  poetry  and  short  story  --  will  be: 
$250.  first;  $200,  second;  $150, 
third.  There  will  be  one  grand 
prize  of  $500. 

Insight  is  looking  for  stories 
that  illuminate  aspects  of  Chris- 
tian living  such  as  those  based  on 
witnessing  experiences,  social  re- 
lationships, parent- children  en- 
counters, school  life,  young  mar- 
ried situations,  and  any  story  that 
deals  with  the  religious  dimen- 
sion. This  does  not  mean  obvi- 
ous, preachy,  moralizing  kind  of 
materials. 


Insight  is  currently  overstocked 
with  I'enfuit  terrible,  or  the 
struggles-  of  -a-  youthful  -rebel- 
type  stories,  but  nonetheless  rec- 
ognizes that  occasionally  such  a 
story,  while  painful,  may  provide 
a  mirror  of  man  that  can  have  a 
positive  result.  A  second  caution 
has  to  do  with  the  notion  that  a 
good  religious  story  must  include 
overtly  religious  elements  or  be 
based  upon  a  miracle  or  some- 
thing tragic,  sensational,  or  out  of 
the  ordinary.  Actually,  religious 
literature  succeeds  in  the  same 
way  secular  literature  does, 
through  description,  credible  dia- 
log, interesting  characters,  subtle 
themes,  et  cetera. 

Short  stories  submitted  for  this 
contest  should  be  short.  No  more 
than  1800  words. 

All  stories  should  be  based  on 
actual  events.     The  writer  may 


Art  &Beh.Sci.  Collaborate 
In  New  York  Thanksgiving 


change  names,  reconstruct  con- 
versation, and  juxtapose  situa- 
tions for  purposes  of  dramatic 
interest. 

Poetry  should  encourage  in- 
spiring thought  and  may  be  writ- 
ten in  a  variety  of  rhymed  or 
unrhymed  patterns.  However, 
good  poetry  is  now  to  be  associat- 
ed with  nebulous,  open-ended, 
quickly  written  verse.  Contrary  to 
popular  opinion,  very  few  people 
are  able  to  write  poetry,  and  for 


this_  reason  the  Insight  editors 
encourage  contestants  to  use 
traditional  meters,  rhymes,  and 
forms. 

Persons  entering  poetry  should 
note  the  impressive  simplicity  of  a 
poem  like  W.B.  Yeats's  "The 
Lake  Isle  of  Innisfree,"  or  John 
Keats's  "To  Autumn."  The  point 
IS  that  poetry  can  be  uplifting 
without  being  blatantly  religious; 
it  can  be  profound,  yet  simple  and 
short.

Fleming  Defends  Hands  Of  God  Statue 


reprinted  with  permlBslon 

It  was  my  privilege,  along  with 
my  wife  and  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Knittel, 
to  meet  neariy  a  year  ago  witli  tlie 
College  architect,  Jack  Tyler,  his 
wife,  and  the  sculptor,  Victor 
Contreras,  to  view  his  creation  in 
miniature  of  a  symbolic  statue 
entitled,  "The  Hands  of  God." 
As  I  sat  there  that  evening  view- 
ing the  colored  slides,  my  mind 
wandered  thoughtfully,  and  then 
somewhat  emotionally,  over  all 
the  services  those  hands  had  per- 
formed that  contributed  to  my 
salvation. 

In  the  days  that  followed,  as  I 
found  in  my  heart  a  deepening 
desire  to  see  that  symbol  of  Christ 
erected  on  our  campus,  I  had  to 
ask  myself  what  relationship  this 
entity  had  to  the  idols  or  graven 
images  we  have  been  admonished 
to  avoid.  I  reali2ed  how  easy  it 
could  be  for  either  good  or  evil 
spirits  to  make  an  impression  on 
me  to  take  a  position  for  or 
against,  and  then,  forgetting  con- 
viction, to  support  my  expressed 
opinion.  Desiring  to  avoid  this 
normal  and  too  customary  pro- 
cedure, I  went  to  the  Scriptures  -- 
particularly  the  experiences  of  the 
children  of  Israel  in  the  wilder- 

In  Patriarchs  and  Prophets,  the 

chapter  entitled  Idolatry  at  Sinai, 
Ellen  White  vividly  portrays  the 
sequence  of  events  contributing 
to  Aaron's  great  sin  in  forming  a 
molten  calf  in  imitation  of  the 
gods  of  Egypt.    The  children  of 


Israel  were,  as  usual,  rebellious. 
The  cloud  that  heretofore  had  led 
them  had  now  rested  upon  the 
mountain  for  several  days.  The 
people's  faith  was  weak  and  they 
gathered  about  Aaron's  tent  with 
the  demand,  "Make  us  gods 
which  shall  go  before  us;  for  as 
for  this  Moses,  the  man  that 
brought  us  up  out  of  the  land  of 
Egypt,  we  wot  not  what  is  become 
of  him."  And  Aaron,  fearing  for 
his  own  safety,  yielded  to  their 
demands. 

That  this  experience  was  any- 
thing but  idolatry  and  premed- 
itated, goes  without  question. 
However,  not  many  years  later  in 
their  wilderness  wanderings  the 
children  of  Israel  encountered  an 
entirely  different  experience.  In 
spite  of  the  miraculous  daily  pro- 
vision of  manna,  water  from  the 
rock,  and  peace  and  safety  under 
the  cloud  by  day  and  pillar  of  fire 
by  night,  they  complained  against 
God  and  Moses.  Finally,  God 
withdrew  His  protection  and 
great  numbers  of  the  people  were 
attacked  by  fiery  serpents.  Peo- 
ple were  dying  in  almost  every 
tent  and  the  silence  of  the  night 
was  broken  by  their  piercing 
cries. 

Now  the  people  humbled  them- 
selves before  God.  They  confes- 
sed to  Moses,  "We  have  sinned 
for  we  have  spoken  against  the 
Lord  and  against  Thee."  So  God 
commanded  Moses  to  make  a 
serpent  of  brass  to  be  elevated 
among  the  people  and  all  who 


were  bitten  were  bid  to  look  and 
be  healed. 

The  lifting  up  of  the  brazen 
serpent  was  to  teach  Israel  an 
important  lesson.  They  could  not 
save  themselves  from  the  fatal 
effect  of  the  poison  in  then- 
wounds.  God  alone  was  able  to 
heal  them.  Yet,  they  were  re- 
quired to  show  theu-  faith  in  the 
provision  which  He  had  made. 
They  must  look  in  order  to  live. ..  it 
was  a  symbol  of  Christ;  and  the 
necessity  of  faith  in  His  merits 
was  thus  presented  to  their 
minds.  As  Moses  lifted  up  the 
serpent  in  the  wilderness,  even  so 
was  the  Son  of  Man  'lifted  up', 
that  whosoever  believeth  in  Him 
should  not  perish,  but  have  ever- 
lasting life."  Desire  of  Ages 
pages  430,  431. 

As  I  read  of  these  two  exper- 
iences, my  questions  were  an- 
swered. God  deplores  the  wor- 
ship of  idols.  God  commends  that 
which  draws  our  hearts  and 
minds  to  the  provisions  made  for 
our  salvation  through  His  Son. 
On  Him  we  must  look  to  live. 

The  Son  of  Man  must  be  lifted 
up  in  our  lives  in  every  manner 
possible.  Ellen  White  writes, 
(DA  p.  83)  "It  would  be  well  for 
us  to  spend  a  thoughtful  hour 
each  day  in  contemplation  of  the 
life  of  Christ.  We  should  take  it 
point  by  point  and  let  the  imagin- 
ation grasp  each  scene,  especially 
the  closing  ones." 

That  evening  in  Jack  Tyler's 
office,  as  I  observed  the  beautiful 


cupped  hands  of  the  Son  of  God, 
in  my  imagination  1  placed 
myself,  my  life,  my  future  in  His 

hands.  Where  the  thumbs  paral- 
led  each  other,  the  space  between 
the  first  and  second  joints  formed 
the  shape  of  a  heart  and  from  that 
heart  a  drop  of  blood  descended  - 
shed  for  my  sins,  to  cover  them 
with  His  love  and  righteousness. 
As  I  looked  upon  His  hands,  I 
thought  -  these  were  the  hands 

•which  in  the  beginning 
formed  the  worlds 

•that  touched  the  eyes 
of  the  blind  and  made  them  see 

•that  stilled  the  tempest 

that  fashioned  furniture 
in  the  carpenter  shop  at  Nazareth 

•that  encircled  the  little 
children  the  disciples  would  have 
sent  away 

•that  touched  the  casket 
of  the  widow's  son  of  Nain  and 
brought  him  back  to  life 

•that  rested  upon  the 
heads  of  the  12  -  and  of  the  70  in 
ordination 

•that  broke  bread  to 
feed  5,000  by  the  sea  of  Galilee 
and  again  broke  bread  for  the 
Last  Supper  in  the  upper  room 


•and  these  were  the 
hands  (I  saw  the  prints)  that  were 
nailed  to  the  tree,  for  my  sins, 
that  made  me  free 

I  have  seen  these  hands  often 
since  in  my  imagination.  I  have 
visualized  the  naU  holes,  the 
broken  heart,  and  the  shed  blood. 


Those  hands  held  out  to  me  the 
invitation  to  - 

"Come,  place  your  life  com- 
pletely in  My  Hands  -  in  My  cate 
"  I  shall  never  leave  thee  nor 
forsake  thee.  I  shall  be  with  you 
alway,  even  unto  the  end." 


If  our  purpose  at  SMC  is  to 
encourage  youth  (Ednc.  p.  17)  to 
think  for  themselves  and  not  be 
mere  reflectors  of  the  thoughts  of 
others,  what  better  place  could  be 
provided  for  their  meditation  than 
a  group  of  benches  half-circled 
before  these  "Hands  of  God"  out 
on  our  front  mall  bordered  by 
trees  and  shrubs  to  effect  some 
degree  of  privacy.  We  have  fine 
buildings,  facilities,  and  tools 
here  on  our  campus.  What  a 
wonderful  addition  would  be  the 
'gift'  of  such  a  setting  where 
individuals  from  far  and  near, 
from  all  churches,  could  find  their 
way  to  this  campus  where  in  this 
setting  and  atmosphere  they 
could  sit  quietly,  and  mentally 
and  spiritually  place  their  lives  in 
the  hands  of  God. 

As  Moses  raised  up  the  serpent 
in  the  wilderness  so  all  could  look 
and  live,  so  we  may  raise  up  the 
hands  of  God  on  our  campus 
inviting  all  to  place  their  lives 
under  His  care.  I  beheve  deeply 
that  God  would  thereby  be  honor- 
ed and  souls  drawn  closer  to  His 
Kingdom.

Editorial 


Next  to  Jones  Hall  stands  a  building  beloved  by  Humanities.  Math, 
and  Physics  students  alike  -  Daniells  Hall.  Being  located  next  to  the 
English  department,  it  was  inevitable  that  some  disgruntled  Comp 
student  who'd  gotten  a  C  on  his  last  writing  because  of  spelling,  or  some 
sharp-eyed  Accent  proofreader  would  notice  the  inconsistency  displayed 
to  all  the  worid  on  the  front  of  Daniells  Hall. 

■What  inconsistency?"  you  ask.  "Being  a  Christian  institution  we 
can't  have  a  double  standard!" 

Mavbe  it  can't  be  called  a  double  standard,  but  it's  definitely  an 
inconsistency. 

There's  a  plaque  above  the  main  door  that  proclaims  the  building 
A  G  Daniells  Hall.  Look  it  up  in  your  Foundations  of  the  Advent 
Movement  syllabus.  D-A-N-I-E-L-L-S.  Yep.  that's  O.K.  But  then  step 
back  a  few  paces  and  look  at  the  bold  black  letters  on  the  white  lintel, 
which  of  course,  are  the  ones  everybody  reds.  What  do  they  spell? 
Well,  the  A.G.  looks  good,  but  D-A-N-1-E-L-S.   Hey! 

O.K.  --  who  ripped  off  with  the  other  "L"? 

Well  if  nobody's  been  vandalizing  the  place,  then  that  must  have 
been  the  wav  someone  intended  it  to  be.  And  it's  been  there  for  years. 
No  wonder  a  cry  has  gone  up  against  the  poor  literacy  of  college 
graduates  ■■  especially  if  they  learn  to  spell  off  the  signs  on  campus! 

Surely  our  signs  can  portray  a  .more  consistent  and  correct  image  to 
students  and  visitors  alike. 

So  keep  your  chins  up,  struggling  spellers,  as  you  pass  the  English 
department  in  Jones  Hall,  which  according  to  the  sign,  also  houses  Art, 
B.S.  Nursing,  and  several  women  students.   Oops!

Irate  Umbrella    Owners 


Dear  Editor: 

Once  upon  a  rainy  Friday  night, 
two  residents  of  Thatcher  Hall 
(namely  us)  returned  to  their 
place  of  happy  ensconcement, 
umbrellas  in  hand. 

As  our  custom  was,  we  each 
spread  out  our  respective  um- 
brellas in  the  hall  just  outside  our 
room  door,  admiring  their  mar- 
velous symmetry,  simplicity  of 
design,  and  vivid  coloration; 
then,  retired  in  sheer  exhaustion 
to  our  beds  with  dreams  of  a 
happy,  restful  Sabbath  on  the 
morrow. 

We  rose  early,  planning  to  at- 
tend the  first  service  at  the  Col- 
legedale  church.  After  much 
preparation  to  make  ourselves 
presentable  for  the  outside  world 
va  rainy  outside  world,  though  it 
was),  we  opened  the  door  dramat- 
ically, stepped  out  bravely,  and 
reached  for  our  noneiistent  um- 
brellas! Thinking  that  there  must 
be  a  reasonable  explanation  as  to 
the  whereabouts  of  the  said  um- 
brellas, we  asked  the  ladies  next 
door.  They  knew  nothing  (theirs

Dear  Editor: 

You  must  be  doing  something 
right  Ijust  walked  down  the  hall 
to  my  office  and  everyone  I  pas- 
sed --  students  and  faculty  --  were 
engrossed  in  the  latest  edition  of 
the  Southern  Accent.  It's  being 
talked  about  all  over.  Of  course, 
we  don't  always  agree  with  even 
the  editorial  pages  (I'm  still  smol- 
dering from  the  comment  some 
weeks  ago  that  letters  aren't  edi- 
ted because  then  only  English 
Majors  could  contribute);  but, 
those  of  us  on  the  Madison  Cam- 
pus find  you  fascinating  reading. 
Your  "classified  ads"  section  is  a 
great  addition;  the  "letters"  an 
indication  that  you  are  being 
read. 

Thank  you  for  the  lift  you  bring 
each  week  --  more  or  less.    The 
Pony  Express  doesn't  always 
make  it  on  time. 
Sincerely.

PS.  Ditto  to  Jerry  Gladson's 
letter  on  November  27.  I  also  felt 
compelled,  but  he  said  it  so  much 
better. 


Thanx,  Deans! 


Dear  Editor: 

I  wish  to  thank  all  the  deans  of 
Thatcher  for  welcoming  us  Jones 
girls  to  Thatcher.  The  punch, 
cake,  and  potato  chips  were  de- 
licious. The  thought  behind  the 
little  party  meant  more  to  us  than 
you  will  know. 

Thanks  so  much, 
Linda  Gadd 


were  gone  too).  Alas,  what  we 
had  feared  must  have  occurred.  . 
CONFISCATION! I! I  Hurrying  to 
the  front  desk,  we  politely  asked 
where  we  could  find  our  umbrel- 
las. In  one  long,  sassy  breath  we 
were  informed,  in  no  uncertain 
terms,  that  we  could  NOT  get  our 
umbrellas  back  until  after  the 
Sabbath  hours,  and  then,  only  If 
we  paid  "a  fee." 

Not  possessing  the  admirable 
qualities  of  amphibious  life,  and 
fearing  the  wrath  of  the  powers 
that  be  for  daring  lo  neglect 
church,  we  at  last  resorted  to 
summoning  a  chivalrous  Talge 
resident  whom  we  knew  to  have 
in  his  possession  a  large  um- 
brella. Results;  We  were  late  for 
church,  and  each  arrived  there 
with  one  wet,  dripping  side. 

Church  and  lunch  over,  we 
decided  to  visit  friends  in  the 
community.  Dodging  raindrops 
on  our  way  to  the  car  (parked  up 
on  the  hill  by  the  Nursing  build- 
ing), we  were  ready  to  go,  but 
remembered  something  we'd  for- 
gotten back  in  the  dorm.  We 
determined  to  drive  down  and 
park  in  front  of  Thatcher  so  as  to 
minimize  the  time  spent  in  the 
rain.  After  getting  the  forgotten 
item,  we  were  on  our  way.. .or  so 
we  thought. 

Due  to  circumstances  beyond 
our  control,  the  car  began  to 
cough,  sputter,  and  in  general, 
would  not  go.  We  coughed  and 
sputtered  our  way  into  the  middle 
of  the  parking  lot,  however,  and 


there  found  that  we  were  in 
everyone's  way.  A  few  male 
were  out  and  about,  but  the  ma 
jonty  said  that  they  would  heln 
but  vowed  that  they  knew  nothind 
about  cars.  So.  resorting  to  the 
only  resource  at  hand,  we  lifte 
the  hood  to  attempt  to  see  „ 
anything  was  amiss.  This,  with  | 
no  umbrellas,  in  no  way  heigh, 
tened  warm,  dry  comfort  for  us, 

Anyway,  to  make  an  already-  i 
long  story  shorter,  we  were  at  last 
able  to  secure  a  conference  with 
the  dean  on  duty  and  ask  her  to  1 
explain  some  things,  etc.     She  I 
informed  us  that  "NO  UMBREL  f 
LAS   IN  THE  HALLS"  was  an 
enforced  rule,  and  that  uinbrellas 
found   in   the   halls  would,  and  J 
should  be  confiscated,  retrievable  J 
only  when  the  dean  decided,  and] 
after  paying  a  fine.   When  asked  ] 
how  much  the  fine  was,  she  re- ; 
plied  that  she  didn't  know.    It  j 
seems  as  if  the  fine  was  mainly  a  L 
threat  meant  to  intimidate,  and  I 
that  no  real  thought  had  gone  into  I 
the  operation  of  the  system 

In  the  end,  we  were  given  ouil 
umbrellas  (no fees  paid)  and  weni 
exhorted  to  spread  the  news  toi 
other  inmates  that  this  rule  Is  aol 
enforced  rule.  j 

So  folks,  we  are  giving  you  fail  I 
warning,  and  you'd  better  heed  I 
iti  NEVER,  NEVER,  leave  your  | 
umbrellas  in  the  halll 

Sincerely, 
Criss  &  Bodtker

Women's  Ordination 


Dear  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  refer  to  your 
recent  article  on  the  ordination  of 
women.  1  knew  of  the  committee 
studying  the  issue.  1  also  knew 
that  many  of  this  committee  felt 
that  there  was  nothing  in  Scrip- 
ture or  in  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy 
against  ordination  of  women  and 
they  would  recommend  the  Ad- 
ventist  church  to  do  so.  Elder 
Pierson  states  "We  find  no  in- 
spired evidence  supporting  the 
ordination  of  women  to  the  gospel 
ministry."  This  is  an  argument 
from  silence,  as  our  friends  the 
Church  of  Christ  would  be  quick 
to  point  out  in  defense  of  their 
position  on  no  musical  instru- 
ments in  the  church.  Arguments 
from  silence  prove  nothingi 

We  as  Adventists  are  so  careful 
to  point  out  that  both  men  and 
women  are  eligible  tor  the  gift  of 
prophecy,  citing  women  in  Scrip- 
ture who  were  leaders  and  pro- 
phetesses. It  would  seem  that  a 
church  which  has  spent  so  much 
time  and  effort  refuting  the  critics 
of  a  prophetess  would  then  in  turn 
apply  the  same  criticisms  to  an- 
other of  the  gifts,  namely,  that  of 
ministry  (cf.  Eph.  4:8-13).  Come, 
gentlemen,  let's  at  least  be  con- 
sistent! 

In  the  school  year  1964/65,  the 
denomination  announced  that  any 
person  would  be  admitted  to  our 
schools,  regardless  of  his  race. 
At  SMC  we  received  this  with  a 
standing  ovation.   What  many  do 


not  realize  is  that  the  govemnmll 
forced  the  denomination  to  dosti 
with  the  CivU  Rights  Act  of  iWI 
We  who  should  have  been  amolll 
the  first  in  such  an  action  hadli| 
be  forced  by  law.  Another  casenj 
equal  pay  for  women.  Only"! 
recent  years  have  women  1 
achieved  this  in  our  church.  «l 
lawsuit  brought  the  govenii»«»l 
into  the  case  to  force  compli«»«l 
to  federal  law.  I 

Christianity  has  long  been"! 
advocate  of  full  equality,  mM*! 
women,  in  God's  sight.  Re«»«J 
both  the  Catholic  and  Epirfl 
churches  have  received  ve^  I 
gative  publicity  by  their  obsW  I 
refusal  to  ordain  women  J 
gospel  ministry.  I  hoP^  * 
avoid  such  a  stigma.

Voice  of  the  Southern  Missionary  College  Student 


The  Artist  Adventure  Series  will  present  Dick  and  Anne  Albin  in 
a  concert  at  the  P.E.  Center  Nov.  5  at  8  p.m.  The  Albins  toured 
most  of  the  country  doing  concerts  and  workshops  on  dulcimers 
and  on  folk  music. 

A  love  for  folklore  and  Kentucky's  traditions  has  led  them  to 
collect  songs  and  stories  which  they  blend  into  a  concert 
including  much  of  Kentucky's  culture. 

Their  concert,  called  "Makin  Do  With  What  You  Have," 
recalls  the  times  when  people  built  their  own  houses,  made  their 
own  clothes,  grew  their  own  food,  and  made  theic  own  entertain- 
ment.

In  one  week  Jones  Hall,  now 
evacuated  by  the  women,  will 
open  its  doors  again. 

This  time  Jones  will  be  used  as 
non-dormitory,  on-campus, 
housing  for  men  25  and  ov»-- 
There  will  be  no  deans  and 
^'s.  Jones  will  be  considered 
strictly  as  another  housing  area. 

The  men  will  have  their  choice    ^^  _■        _  i 

of  one  or  two  man  rooms.   A  one    Ooe  TheKOaO 

man  room  will  cost  the  same  as 
regular  dorm  rent  -  $67,  and  a 
two  man  room  will  cost  the  same 
as  the  regular  Jones  rent  -  S47. 

All  of  the  house  rules  have  not 


over  moves  to  Jones,  the  crowded 
3-man-to-a-room  situation  in

25-Foot    Hands    To 
Clasp    On     Campus 


njerry  Dick  Lien 

Last  year  the  Board  of  Trustees 
voted  unanimously  to  accept  the 
Praying  Hands  statue  when  it  was 
offered  to  the  college  by  Arctor 
M.  Contreras,  a  noted  Mexican 
artist.  The  offer  stipulated  that  if 
someone  would  finance  the  cost  of 
materials,  then  Contreras  would 
make  the  piece  of  art. 

Several  subscribers  were  in- 
terested in  seeing  the  grounds  of 
the  College  graced  with  the  work 
of  Contreras.  The  College  itself  is 
not  monetarily  involved  in  the 
project. 

Composed  of  cast  silver  and 
gold  bronze,  the  statue  portrays  a 
pair  of  hands,  symbolically  those 
of  God,  folded  over  a  heart.  A 
drop  of  blood  issues  from  the 
heart. 

In  this  figurative  way,  the 
monumnet  is  to  be  a  reminder 
that  man  is  still  in  the  hands  of 
God  and  that  His  heart  was 
broken  through  the  passion  of 
Christ  for  humanity. 

The  statue  is  25  feet  high,  16 
feet  wide,  and  approximately  six 


feet  thick.  Its  tentative  location 
on  campus  is  on  the  campus 
entrance  mall  between  the  white 
Southern  Missionary  College 
marker  and  the  first  row  of 
shrubbery. 

Materials  for  the  base  were 
ordered  about  six  weeks  ago,  and 
word  has  been  received  that  the 
statue  is  nearing  completion. 

Contreras  is  also  the  creator  of 
the  largest  piece  of  art  work  in  the 
Western  Hemisphere  which  is  lo- 
cated at  one  of  the  government 
buildings  in  Mexico  City. 

According  to  Dr.  Frank  Knittel, 
the  Praying  Hands  should  arrive 
on  campus  approximately  by  the 
end  of  January. 

In  an  interview  published  in 
The  Soathem  Accent  March  li, 
1976,  Dr.  Knittel  stated  that, 
'There  are  really  two  reasons 
why  I  think  this  monument  can  be 
important  to  SMC.  First  of  all,  it 
will  be  a  contributing  factor  to  the 


Pnylng  Hands  Statae 


aesthetic  dimension  of  this 
school,  and  also  I  think  it  is  a  very 
strong  factor  in  symbolizing 
something  that  this  school  stands 
for."

Louesa  Peters,  assistant  trea- 
surer in  the  Accounting  Office, 
stated  that  the  statement  charges 
this  year  would  be  different  from 
previous  years.  Because  of  the 
billing  changes,  many  students 
and  parents  are  confused. 

According  to  Peters,  other  Se- 
venth-day Adventist  colleges,  as 
well  as  public  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, have  been  following 
similar  plans  for  several  years. 
She  says  the  benefits  far  out- 
weigh any  deficiency  th^t  might 
arise. 

The  system  operates  as  follows: 
Three  installments  are  incurred 
during  the  semester.  These  are 
due  upon  receipt  of  the  state- 
ment. The  first  third  was  due 
Oct.  25.  This  was  the  amount  due 
upon  receipt  of  the  September 
statement.  The  October  state- 
ment, which  is  the  second  third. 
will  be  due  by  Nov.  25.  The  last, 
third,  the  November  statement, 
will  be  due  before  semester  exam. 
permits  are  issued. 

The  second  semester  state- 
ments will  operate  the  same  way 
in  three  monthly  payments.  The 
student's  account  will  be  con- 
sidered delinquent,  or  past  due, 
on  the  26th  of  each  month. 


The  benefits,  mentioned  ear- 
lier, are  comprised  of  the  fol- 
lowing:. Parents  will  find  it  much 
easier  to  plan  their  budget  ahead 
if  the  entire  semester's  cost  is 
known.  Most  other  colleges  tend 
to  require  full  payment  before  the 
student  even  registers. 

If  payments  are  met  on  time, 
there  will  be  no  charge  upon 
receipt  of  the  December  state- 
ment to  be  paid  during  January. 
This  leaves  families  financially 
secure  over  the  holiday  season. 
No  payment  would  be  required 
until  the  January  statement  came 
out.  This  statement  will  include 
all  overhead  charges  for  Decem- 
ber (unless  these  were  taken  care 
of  by  student  labor.) 

A  change  has  also  occurred 
concerning  the  monthly  discount 
of  2  percent  if  the  payment  is  met 


by  the  deadline.  No  discount 
exists  any  longer.  However,  the 
total  tuition  itself  has  been  re- 
duced to  compensate  for  the 
change.  This  change  brings  a- 
bout  financial  equality  for  the 
financially  unstable  student  as 
well  as  the  student  who  is  secure 
in  this  area. 

A  rebate  is  available  for  the 
family  who  has  two  or  more  young 
people  enrolled.  Those  with  two 
family  members  enrolled  will  re- 
ceive a  five  per  cent  rebate  on  the 
total  overall  semester  tuition,  and 
those  having  three  or  more  en- 
rolled, will  receive  a  rebate  of  10 
per  cent.  To  qualiiy  for  these 
rebates,  each  of  the  students 
must  currently  be  taking  eight  or 
more  semester  hours,  and  they

Sundial  Foreshadowed  On 
Thatcher's  Mound  Of  Earth 


DJeny  Dick  Lien 

On  the  mound  of  earth  which 
hes  between  the  Thatcher  Hall 
parking  lot  and  the  street  there 
has  been  a  good  deal  of  activity  of 
late  with  digging  and  erection  of 
some  rather  large  rocks. 

Some  have  wondered  if  this  is 
to  be  the  location  for  the  some- 
what controversial  sacred  heart 
sculpture  (see  article  p.  1). 

Actually,  it  will  be  a  garden 
centered  by  a  sundial.  Upon 
completion,  this  will  be  the 
beauty  spot  envisioned  by  the 
graduating  class  of  1965. 

The  class  gift  of  money  for  a 
sundial,  remembered  by  the  Col- 
lege's historian  and  late  executive 
secretary  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion, Mabel  Wood,  is  now  being 
put  to  use. 

Accon^g  to  grounds  director, 
Charles  Lacy,  it  took  some  time  to 
make  a  selection  for  the  location

of  the  dial,  but  the  area  near 
Thatcher  Hall  was  finally  chosen. 

The  garden  will  have  all  dwarf 
plantings.  "We  have  to  do  this  so 
that  there  will  be  no  shade  on  the 
dial.  After  all,  a  sundial  that's  in 
the  shade  isn't  much  use,"  com- 
mented Lacey. 

Included  in  the  plans  for  the 
garden   will   be    a   freeze-proof 


drinking  fountain.  Also,  there 
will  be  seats  for  students  and  an 
.  ornamental  walk  or  wall  around 
the  base  of  the  dial.  The  sundial 
is  supposed  to  be  one  of  the  most 
accurate  available. 

Partial  completion  of  the  gar- 
den is  projected  for  this  winter, 
and  full  completion  will  be  by 
nertfall.

family  under  the  care  of  the  same 
financial  supporter. 

Further  iniformation  on  these 
matters  can  be  found  in  the  SMC 
bulletin,  pp.  158,  159. 

In  addition,  the  Accounting  Of- 
fice says  that  other  expenses, 
such  as  the  Campus  Shop,  Ad- 
ventist  Book  Center,  etc.,  should 
be  taken  care  of  by  the  earnings 
from  the  student's  work  program. 
The  Campus  Shop  has  a  limit  of 
$125  for  the  first  semester,  and 
$75  for  second  semester.  Stu- 
dents who  feel  that  their  needs 
may  exceed  these  amounts,  need 
to  see  the  Student  Finance  per- 
sonnel for  further  arrangements. 


D  Dennis  Starkey 

A  three  week  central  European 
study  tour  will  be  conducted  next 
summer  by  Dr.  Rudolf  Aussner. 
professor  of  modem  languages. 

Among  the  nations  to  be  visited 
are  Switzerland,  Austria,  Czecho- 
slovaki,  West  Germany,  Liechten- 
stein, East  Germany,  and  Luxem- 
bourg. The  tour  is  open  to  all  who 
are  interested  from  a  junior  in 
academy  and  on  up. 

Th^  group  will  depart  from 
New  York  City  on  May  17  for  the 
small  country  of  Luxembourg. 
When  they  arrive,  they'll  board 
the  bus  which  will  be  their  trans- 
portation for  the  next  three 
weeks.  One  of  the  first  stops  will 
be  in  Luxembourg,  visiting  the 
grave  of  General  Patton.  Some  of 
the  other  highlights  along  the  way 
include  a  stop  in  Worms,  the  city 
where  Martin  Luther  defended 
himself,  the  famous  Matterhom 
in  Switzerland,  the  Berlin  Wall. 
Maria  Theresian  Stadt.  a  World 
War  II    concentration    camp   in 


Czechoslovakia,  and  Hitler's 
mountaintop  retreat  in  Austria, 
known  as  the  Eagle's  Nest. 

In  addition  to  the  historical 
sights,  some  of  the  cultural  e- 
vents  to  be  attended  include  an 
opera  in  Vienna  and  a  concert:  in 
Beriin. 

Sabbath  hours  will  be  spent  at 
SDA  institutions,  with  the  first 
being  at  our  college  in  Darmstadt, 
West  Germany,  the  second  at 
Seminar  Bogenhofen  in  Austria, 
and  the  last  behind  the  Iron  Cur- 
tain in  East  Germany,  hopefully 
at  the  SDA  college  in  Friedensau, 
if  granted  permission  by  the 
government. 

Dr.  Aussner,  who  has  led  out 
on  these  tours  in  years  past,  feels 
right  at  home  in  that  part  of  the 
worid,  as  he  is  a  native  of  West 
Germany  aud  lived'  in  Vienna  for 
five  years. 

The  cost  of  the  trip  is  approxi- 
mately $1000,  which  covers  air 
fare  to  and  from  New  York,  all

Pressed 
Fads?  Copy 
Your  Face! 


HnmiUy,  November  3,  1977  THE  SOUTHEKW  ACCENT  -  3 


EAST  LANSING,  Mich.  (UPI)  - 
What's  a  college  student  to  do 
when  it's  too  cold  to  streak,  cruel 
to  swallow  goldfish,  and  passe  to 
stuff  people  into  phone  booths? 

Some  Michigan  State  Univer- 
sity students  may  have  invented 
the  latest  college  craze:  instant 
"Portraits"  made  by  pressing 
their  faces  against  photocopying 
machines. 

Secluded  machines  in  the  MSU 
library  are  the  most  popular  face 
copying  studios,  especially  for  the 
shy  or  uninitiated. 

"You  look  around  and  make 
sure  no  one  is  looking,"  MSU 
veterinary  student  Charles  Horo- 
witz said. 

"Then  you  put  a  nickel  in  the 
machine,  close  your  eyes  and 
press  your  face  against  the 
glass." 

1  he  results  are  a  cross  between 
posters  for  a  carnival  house  of 
mirrors  and  those  for  a  B-grade 
Japanese  horror  movie. 

"Your  nose  is  distorted  and  it 
looks  like  you're  trying  to  hold 
your  breath,"  Horowitz  said. 


Idoittoimpressmyfnends," 
said  26-year-old  Steve  Roth  a 
graduate  shident  fitom  San  Fran- 
cisco. "It's  a  good  grin  when 
you  re  feeling  down. 

_''I  give  them  to  my  friends  to 
throw  darts  at  and  staff.  Plus  it 
gives  my  face  a  good  tan,  with  the 
heat  and  light  and  all." 

Roth, considers  himself  in  the 
vanguard  of  face  copying,  since 
he  has  been  doing  it  for  about  a 
year.  He  is  a  connoisseur  of  the 
art  and  says  some  machines  are 
better  than  others. 

"You've  got  to  release  your 
frustrations  some  way  -  it's  like 
the  old  goldfish  swallowing  fad." 

Health  officials  said  there 
probably  is  no  real  danger  in  face 
copying  -  as  long  as  you  keep 
your  eyes  closed. 

Dr.  Marvin  McKenney,  an 
East  Lansing  eye  doctor,  said  that 
even  copiers  which  use  ultraviolet 
light  would  not  be  harmful.

Students  Give  Their 
Assurance  In  Blood

The  Blood  Assurance  program, 
sponsored  by  CABL,  is  coming  to 
SMC.  The  program  is  a  national 
non-profit  community  service 
which  offers  free  blood  to  its 
donors  and  their  families  for  a 
period  of  one  year  following  a 
blood  donation.  In  order  to  be

WSMC-FM  is  selling  an  old 
antenna  to  Oakwood  College,  who 
soon  hopes  to  have  its  own  educa- 
tional FM  station. 

Jerry  Mathis,  engineer  for 
WSMC,  is  the  coordinator  of  the 
Oakwood  station  project.  He  will 
supervise  the  purchase  and  the 
setting-up  of  the  equipment  for 
the  station  at  Oakwood. 

Radio  station  WAUS  at  An- 


drews University  has  a  transmit- 
ter and  other  pieces  of  radio 
equipment  that  have  been  re- 
placed and  are  not  being  used  any 
more.  Mathis  is  looking  into  this 

and  if  the  equipment  meets  Oak- 
wood's  specific  needs,  it  will  be 
purchased. 

A  tower  for  the  antenna  still 
needs  to  be  found.  There  are  two 
possible  alternatives.     Either  a 


tower  can  be  purchased  and 
rected,  or  space  on  another  stv 
tion's  tower  located  nearby  can  be 
used.     That   decision    is    still 
pending. 


WOCG  will  be  the  call  lettft. 
assigned  to  the  radio  station  at 
Oakwood.  It  will  have  25,000 
watts  of  power  and  will  serve  the

50  miles  away.

and  themselves.  When  married  it 
will  cover  the  immediate  family. 
The  dates  for  the  drive  are  Nov. 
10  and  Dec.  1,  between  9  a.m. 
and  5  p.m.  The  donations  will  be 
taken  in  the  game  room  at  the 
Stadent  Center.  A  sign-up  sheet 
is  posted  on  the  bulletin  board  at

One  evening  a  couple  of  weeks  ago  while  I  was  locking  up  the 
Student  Center.  1  noticed  some  type  of  mist  or  fog  coming  through 
the  cracks  beween  the  doors  leading  down  to  the  "fetena^ 
Upon  opening  these  doors.  I  found  the  entire  stairwell  filled  with 
this  dense  mist.  .  ,,  j  .u.. 

Thinking  there  might  he  a  problem  in  the  cafetena,  I  "Jl^d  the 
campus  securit>-  base  in  Thatcher  Hall  right  away  and  asked  if  they 
could  get  someone  up  there  as  soon  as  possible. 

Ten  minutes  later  1  found  out  from  a  cafetena  worker  still  on  the 
premises  that  thev  were  fumigating,  which  accounted  for  all  the 
mist  and  fog.  Since  the  situation  was  obviously  under  control.  I 
called  securit\-  back  and  told  them  to  cancel  the  call.  Laughingly, 
ihe  Thatcher  "receptionist  told  me  that  it  was  a  good  thing  that  I 
didn't  really  need  them  because  they  couldn't  get  in  touch  with 
anyone  on  the  securit\'  force  anyway. 

'it's  remarkable,  vou  know.  Ask  anyone  that's  involved  in 
securih-  operations  what  the  key  priorities  are  on  the  job,  and  you 
will  consistantlv  find  communication  weaving  its  way  into  the  scene. 
But  then.  «'nal  do  we  have  here'?  In  ten  minutes  no  one  involved 
with  the  securit\'  of  SMC  could  be  located  and  informed  about  an 
apparent  anom'alv  which  was  taking  place  in  the  largest  and  most 
central  building  on  the  campus.   Not  exactly  an  "A"  rating. 

Earlier  in  the  year  a  CoUegedale  policeman  was  slashed  across 
the  face  by  someone  apparently  trying  to  break  into  a  building  that 
the  officer  was  checking.  The  report  given  the  Accent  stated  that  it 
was  the  efficiency  of  the  communication  system  built  into  the  police 
organization  that  brought  aid  to  the  bleeding  officer  and  kept  the 
situation  under  control.  My  question  is:  What  if  something  were  to 
happen  here  on  this  campus  which  demanded  decisive,  immediate 
action  and  none  of  the  security  forces  which  patrol  our  campus  could 
be  reached.  We  aren't  exactly  crime-ridden  on  this  campus,  but 
there  are  times  when  security  action  is  necessary.  Shouldn't  we  be 
prepared? 

There  are  a  lot  of  rumors,  depending  on  who  you  talk  to.  as  to 
why  the  security  department  has  the  troubles  that  it  has.  Some  say 
that  the  giris'  deans  object  to  the  communication  center  being  in 
Thatcher  Hall  and  render  the  main  radio  just  about  useless  by 
niming  the  squelch  up  to  maximum.  Another  says  that  the  securit\' 
personnel  sometimes  leave  campus  on  unauthorized  trips  tn  view 
emergencies  that  do  not  involve  them  and  are  nol  associated  in  any 
way  with  the  security  of  the  College.  Yet  another  says  the  radios  the 
guards  are  equipped  with  are  useless  around  the  tall  buildings  on 
campus.  On  thing  is  for  certain,  though.  If  we  don't  get  our 
security  up  to  par.  we  may  find  out  too  late  that  SMC  is  a  wide  open 
campus.

Dear  Editor 

Please  print  this  letter  in  The 
Southern  Accent. 
Dear  Guys, 

I'm  sorry  that  1  can't  address' 
this  to  each  of  you  individually, 
but  I  wasn't  able  to  meet  you  all 
by  name,  so  it's  Dear  Guys,  my 
friends. 

It's  hard  to  put  into  words  what 
or  how  a  bus  load  of  guys  makes  a 
giri  feel.  It  really  can't  be  done, 
but  I'd  like  to  thank  you  along 
with  a  unanimous  female  echo. 

You  took  a  day,  which  you  may 
have  used  in  a  more  exciting 
adventure,  just  to  be  a  friend  and 
bring  civilization  from  the  male 
world  into  this,  our  more  or  less 
male  less  world.   Thank  you! 

All  my  life  I've  been  told  that 
the  key  to  a  man's  heart  is 
through  his  stomach;  you  came 
with  an  empty  stomach  and  left 
with  an  emptier  one;  yet  you  gave 
unselfishly  and  brought  joy  to  our 
world! 

Thank  you,  and  let's  do  it  a-

Letters  To  Tf 


Dear  Editor; 


Dear  Editor: 

I'd  like  to  thank  the  person 
responsible  (Service  Dept. 
worker?)  for  writing  those  bible 
texts  on  the  blackboards  in 
Daniels  Hall  24  and  111  --  they're 
always  inspirational! 


I  would  like  to  sound  off  about 
the  noise  problem  in  the  library. 
I  live  in  the  village  and  have  to 
use  the  library  to  study  in  be- 
tween classes.  But,  I  find  it  very 
difficult  to  try  and  concentrate 
when  someone  else  is  talking;  not 
in  soft  tones  or  whispers,  but  like 
they  were  the  only  people  around. 

I  can't  seem  to  find  a  place  that 
is  quiet.  I  do  not  understand  why 
college  students  do  noi  know 
how.  or  have  forgotten  how  to 


whisper.  What  seems  even  more, 
perplexing  is.  we  have  a  student 
center  that  has  just  been  nicely 
redecorated  and  you  can  talk  all 
you  wish  without  disturbing  those 
who  are  trying  to  study.  So 
Please  help  out  your  fellow  stu- 
dents in  their  classes  by  being 
quiet  in  the  library.  If  you  just 
have  to  tell  your  friend  what 
happened  to  you  Saturday  night, 
please  go  where  you  won't  be 
disturbing  others. 

Thanks, 

Linda  Woolcock 


Dear  Editor: 

It  would  be  all  well  and  good  if 
we  could  blame  our  problems  on 
the  instructors.  But  on  the  other 
hand,  let's  suppose  Albert 
Average  is  doing  all  right  in  his 
mudpie  class,  but  having  prob- 
lems with  the  paradigms. 

He's  making  beautiful  mud- 
pies,  but  those  other  classes  he's 
attending  --  poor  Albert  is  barely 
getting  the  assignments  read  sim- 
ply because  his  reading  is  so 
poor.  Probably  what  he  needs  is  a 
course  to  improve  his  reading 
and/or  comprehension. 

From  conversation  with  other 
students  around  campus,  I  do 
believe  that  a  class  of  this  sort 
would  have  no  lack  in  attendance. 
Thank  you.

Dear  Editor: 

For  the  past  few  weeks  I  have 
noted  some  of  the  opinions  ex- 
pressed about  dress  and  code. 
A"  number  1  agree  with  and  a  few  I 
feel  to  be  kind  of  legalistic. 

Instead   of  inwardly   growling 
and  biting  at  others  whether 
tain  material   is  acceptable,  too 
much  hair  on  the  face  or  head  etc, 
our  main  emphasis  and  picture 
should    be,    "Has    my    brother 
found  that  peace  which  pa: 
all    understanding?"       As    Paul 
wrote:    "Let  this  mind  be  it 
which  was  also  in  Christ  Jes 
What  greater  joy  could  there  be 
than  being  conscientious  of  oi 
another's  needs,  then  setting  out 
to  fiir  them.    Have  we  found  the 
highest  joy  there  is  in  ministering 
to  others  needs?     Who  needs 
greater  revelation  of  God's  love 
others?    1  do.

»    Dear  Editor 

a  1  write  this  article  to  you  with 

g  many  tears  in  my  voice,  not  to  any 

2  one  person  in  particular  but,  to 

H  the  student  body  of  SMC. 

H 

As  you  already  know,  the  holi- 
*  day  which  is  commonly  called 
Halloween  and  celebrated 
throughout  the  country  on  Octo- 
ber 31  St.  was  celebrated  on  this 
^  campus  last  Sunday  on  the  30th  of 
October.  On  this  date  the  cafe- 
^  teria  was  closed  and  festivities 
»  were  held  in  the  student  park. 
5  Let  me  pause  here  to  lay  the  back- 
2    ground  as  to  the  origin  of  Hallo- 


e  exception  of  test  vt«eks  and 
er  year,  mailed  wekly  Irom 


Halloween    sprang    from    the 
Celtics,  who  had  two  major  festi- 
vals .  one  for  the  sun  god  and  the 
other  for  the  god  of  the  dead. 
This  god  of  the  dead  was  named 
Samhain.     The  latter  was  cele- 
brated on  Oct.  31st  thru  Nov.  1st. 
In    this    celebration    huge    bon 
fires    were    set    on    hilltops    to 
frighten  away  evil  spirits.     The 
souls  of  the  dead  were  supposed 
to  revisit  their  homes  on  this  day, 
and    the    autumnal    festival    ac- 
quired sinister  significance  with 
ghost,  witches,  hobgoblins,  black 
;     cats,  fairies,  and  demons  of  all 
:     kinds  said  to  be  roaming  about, 
i        In    addition,    Halloween    was 
thought  to  be  the  most  favorable 
I     time    for    divination    concerning 
!     marriage,    luck,    health,    and 
I    death.     It  was  the  only  day  on 


which  the  help  of  the  devil  was 
invoked  for  such  purposes.  No- 
vember 1  became  All  Saints  Day 
on  which  these  dead   returning 

relatives  were  honored.  On  Nov. 
2.  the  Catholic  church  brought  in 
the  picture  All  Souls  Day  -  a  day 
in  which  you  pray  for  the  dead, 
especially  for  those  who  had  died 
during  that  year.  (Ency.  Brit.  Vol 
I.  pp.  259-60.) 

As  you  can  well  see,  the  origin 
of  Halloween  is  purely  paganistic. 
My  point  is  this:  The  student 
body  goes  all  out  for  the  cele- 
bration of  a  holiday  whose  origin 
of  spiritualism  is  completely 
against  the  Bible  doctrine  of  the 
state  of  the  dead. 

You  might  well  say,  "That  has 
no  relevance,  for  we  do  not  cele- 
brate Halloween  today  with  that 
aspect  in  mind."  Don't  kid  your- 
self. If  you  put  a  frog  in  hot 
water  he  will  immediately  jump 
out  but,  if  you  put  him  in  cold 
water  and  heal  it  up  gradually, 
before  he  knows  it,  it  will  be  too 
late. 


church,  what  could  I  say?  The  loi 
main  point  in  contrast  is  this:  is ' 
Oct.  31  receives  a  great  deal  of  »s^ 
attention,  but  what  of  Oct.  22? 

Last  week's  Sabbath  was  the 
133rd  year  since  Our  High  Priest 
stepped  into  the  Most  Holy  Place 
of  the  heavenly  sanctuary  in  order 
to  finish  the  redemption  He  pur-  j^^ 

chased  on  the  cruel  cross  of  Cal-  c 
vary.  Our  great  forefathers 
waited  for  that  day  to  come  for 
they  thought  Christ  would  soon 
clasp  their  hands  on  that  journey 
home.  A  great  disappointment 
soon  followed,  for  they  had  mis- 
takenly interpreted  the  prophecy 
of  Daniel  8:14,  thinking  at  that 
time  the  earth  was  the  sanctuary 
to  be  cleansed  with  fire.  HOT 
sweet  would  it  have  been  for  in 
student  body  to  an-ange  a  praye 
group  last  Sabbath  afternoon  i" 
ponder  and  meditate  on  the  pasj 
and  to  pray  for  the  future.  B" 
that  precious  day  passed  throug 
our  fingers  as  many  souls  lay  "' 
the  side  of  the  path,  dying 
thirst.

Love  is  the  quiet  understanding 
and  mature  acceptance  of  imper- 
fection. It  is  real.  It  gives  you 
strength  and  grows  beyond  you  -- 
to  bolster  your  beloved.  You  are 
warmed  by  his  presence,  even 
when  he  is  away.  Miles  do  not 
separate  you.  You  want  him 
near.  But  near  or  far,  you  know 
he  is  yours  and  you  can  wait. 

Infatuation  says,  "We  must  get 
married  right  away.  I  can't  risk 
losing  him." 

Love  says,  "Be  patient.  Don't 
panic.  He  is  yours.  Plan  your 
future  with  confidence." 

Infatuation  has  an  element  of 
sexual  excitement.  If  you  are 
honest,  you  will  admit  it  is  diffi- 
cult to  be  in  one  another's  com- 
pany unless  you  are  sure  it  will 
end  in  intimacy.  Love  is  the 
maturation  of  friendship.  You 
must  be  friends  before  you  can  be 
lovers. 

Infatuation  lacks  confidence. 
When  he's  away,  you  wonder  if 
he's  cheating.     Sometimes  you 
even  check. 

Love  means  trust.  You  are 
calm,  sec'ire  and  unthreatened. 
He  feels  that  trust  and  it  makes 
him  even  more  trustworthy. 


Infatuation  might  lead  you  to 
do  thmgs  you'll  regret  later,  but 
love  never  will. 

Love  lifts  you  up.  It  makes  you 
lookup.  It  makes  you  think  up.  It 
makes  you  a  better  person  than 
you  were  before.  $•

Dear  Editor: 

I  .  greatly  appreciated  the  indi- 
vidual(s)  who  filled  in  the  craters 
m  the  front  Thatcher  Hall  parking 

Not  only  did  I  almost  lose  my 
car  in  one  of  the  excavations 
recently  but  one  rainy  night  back 
in  May  I  turned  my  ankle  and 
almost  drowned  in  the  other! 

I  thought  of  filling  those  cav- 
ities myself  with  letters  from  the 
Dean  of  Students.  However, 
some  kind  soul(s)  has  finally  filled 
the  chasms  with  tar.  So,  I  guess 
I'll  attend  Chapel  regularly  and 
forget  my  mailbox  combination.

before  the  Second  Advent. 

The  Laodicean  message  pre- 
sents three  gifts  to  man  -  the 
gold  of  faith  and  love,  the  white 
garments  of  the  righteousness  of 
Christ  and  the  eyesalve  of  spir- 
itual discernment.  The  Holy  Spir- 
it brings  these  treasures  to  those 
who  truly  desire  them,  so  one 
must  ask  why  are  these  eternal 
gifts  not  desired.  The  answer  is 
simple  yet  sad  --  we  are  apa- 
thetic and  lethargic,  contented 
with  the  materialism  of  the  age. 

The  definition  of  dogma  tends 
to  end  in  minutiae  as  thousands 
perish  with  a  hopeless  tomorrow. 
Schismatic  movements  arise  to 
call  the  "true  people"  out  while 
they  themselves  are  heading  for 
dissolution  and  declension. 

Dwelling  among  us  are  those 
agents  of  Satan  who  lament  the 
condition  of  the  movement  and 
advocate  that  division  is  coming. 
Tliis  is  the  subject  of  their  think- 
ing and  it  becomes  their  Itfework 
to  worr>  about  it  and  to  weary 


Back  in  the  Fifties  the  big  thing 
to  do  around  campus  in  your 
spare  time  (and  a  lot  of  students 
took  more  than  they  had),  was  to 
see  how  many  people  you  could 
cram  into  a  telephone  booth. 
Often,  VW's  were  used  in  these 
social  functions  as  a  happy,  port- 
able alternative  when  there  was 
no  phone  booth  to  be  found. 

Well,  despite  the  fact  that  this 
is  not  the  Fifties,  and  this  isn't 
Howard  or  Yale,  the  trends  of 


craming  still  continue  on  oi 
campus.  SMC  has  its  own  version 
of  cramming,  though  it's  a  bit 
more  academic  --  seeing  how 
many  people  can  cram  into  the 
C.K. 

I  mean,  have  you  ever  gone 
down  to  get  something  to  eat  and 
have  to  wait  20,  30,  40  minutes 
and  have  to  sit  at  a  table  with 
M.J.  Bryant  (whom  you  didn't 
know  any  better  than  the  man  on 
the  moon)  and  listen  to  him  talk 
about  his  column  and  the  mail 
room  when  you  could  really  care 
less?  All  you  really  want  is  less 
crowding,  less  shoving,  less 
noise,  a  friendly  face  and  the 
non-Adventist  visitors  to  observe 
the  NO  SMOKING  sign  -  and 
some  service! 

I've  been  aware  and  concerned 
about  this  problem  for  quite  some 
time  now.  Just  what  can  be  done 
about  tliis  college-ordained  situ- 
tion? 

The  three  main  factors  to  take 
into  consideration  are  money, 
space,  and  time.  But  there  are 
several  other  factors  you  should 


everyone  else  with  their  nega- 
tivism. 

Who  controls  the  movement- 
men  or  the  Amen?  There  is 
coming  a  division.  All  of  those 
who  have  not  accepted  the  coun- 
sels of  the  True  Witness  and  are 
not  living  them  by  the  Holy  Spirit 
will  abandon  the  movement  when 
the  storm  hits. 

The  movement  will  be  shaken 
to  its  core,  and  only  those  who 
have  made  the  Word  of  God  their 
foundation  of  faith  and  practice 
will  survive  as  their  brethren  per- 
ish with  the  multitudes  of  the  lost. 
Laodicea  will  see  the  blessed 
hope  of  the  Second  Advent.  The 
primary  question  is  will  you  be  in 
it  or  out  of  it  when  the  appointed 
time  comes? 

The  future  is  as  certain  as  the 
sunrise  of  tomorrow.  Don't  be 
deceived  by  the  aposUes  of  apos- 
tasy among  us  or  the  wonders  of 
deception  around  us.  The  Amen, 
the  Creator-Saviour,  has  spoken 
through  His  Word  and  His  Testi- 
mony, and  it  shall  come  to  pass. 
Not  one  iota  will  fail.

know  also  before  you  jump  to  any 
fast  conclusions. 

The  first  in  this  series  of  facts  is 
that  the  staff  is  very  aware  of  the 
problem  and  is  seeking  a  solution. 
You  also  have  to  remember  that 
you  only  see  it  from  the  cus- 
tomer's out-front  point  of  view. 


Let's  go  in  back  and  expand  your 
horizons. 

Mr.  E.  Evans,  from  the  cafe- 
teria, who  has  control  over  the 
whole  matter,  said,  "If  an  ef- 
ficiency expert  came  in  and  ex- 
amined the  problem,  he  might 
conclude:  it  is  good  to  keep  the 
students  happy  (because  they  are 
the  main  source  of  business)  and 
have  a  large  menu,  but  for  the 
number  of  people  served  and  the 
equipment  and  space  to  do  the 


job,  to  be  more  efficient,  you 
would  have  to  cut  over  one  third 
of  the  menu." 

The  second  thing  you  might 
consider  as  an  answer  to  the 
problem  is  to  build  a  second  story 
on  the  mall.  But  before  you  could 
do  this  you  would  have  to  check 
the  blueprint  and  see  if  the 
foundation  was  laid  deep  enough 
(which  it  probably  is  not). 

Another  consideration  is  to 
build  another  C.K.  to  go  with  the 
one  we  already  have.  Nope  -  it'd 
cost  to  much  moneyl  Where 
would  the  money 
From  you,  through  tuition  and 
things  like  that. 

Still  another  idea  is  to  let  the 
lease  run  out  on  the  Wash-a-teria 
and  take  it  over  and  extend  the 
C.K.  all  the  way  to  the  back  of  the 
dry  cleaners.  And  then  we  would 
need  a  new  place  to  do  our  wash. 

A  last  and  final  alternative  is 
(and  this  is  not  my  idea)  that  we 
could  expand  the  C.K.  forward  as 
a  sidewalk  cafe  and  fold  it  in  at 
night.  But  if  this  were  done,  we 
would  have  to  lay  out  the  parking 
lot  differently. 

The  parting  thought  I  want  to 
leave  you  with  this  week,  my 
faithful  column  followers,  is  this: 
Although  I  write  a  light,  hu- 
morous, informative  column,  and 
intentionally  stay  away  from  con- 
troversial issues  (because  they're 
editorials,  and  I'm  not  an  editor), 
I  still  wanted  you  to  know  that  no 
matter  what  is  done  about  the 
C.K.  and  other  similar  problems, 
there  is  always  going  to  be  some- 
one who  won't  be  happy.

Ginger,  a  miniature  collie,  had  a 
rather  devastating  experience  last 
Sunday  night  in  Collegedale.  She 
wandered  away  ftom  home  for  a 
romp  and  became  the  victim  of  a 
hit  and  run  accident  about  7:30 
p.m.  She  hobbled  to  a  stairwell  in 
Talge  Hall  and  coUapsed.  David 
Kay  found  her  and  saw  that  one 
leg  was  severely  injured  with  part 
of  the  bone  exposed. 

In  time,  more  students  gath- 
ered around  and  offered  their 
help.  After  many  phone  calls 
they  finally  found  a  veterinarians 
clim,  open  on  Brainerd  Road. 
Gmger  remained  reasonably  calm 
as  her  heavUy  bleeding  leg  was 
wrapped  up  and  she  was  taken  to 
the  car  by  David,  Irene  Ruprecht 
Floyd  Welters,  and  Mevin 
Northrup.  The  vet  sewed  up  as 
much  of  the  remaining  skin  as 
possible  and  left  it  uncovered  so 
the  wound  would  heal  faster 

Dean  Evans  let  Ginger  spend 
the  night  m  his  garage.  The  next 
mommg  he  found  out  that  his 
neighbors.Dru  and  Susan  Rourk- 
were  the  dog's  Krateful  owners 


A    Meiatge    From    Ginger's 
Funily; 

May  we  express  our  abundant 
thanks  for  your  efforts  on 
Ginger's  behalf.  She  is  much 
improved  now.  I  have  read  that 
such  benevolent  and  tender  deeds 
reverberate  throughout  all 
creation.  More  people  than  you 
know  have  been  blessed  by  hear- 
ing of  your  involvement;  and  I 
know  from  experience  how  that 
you  have  been  blessed  by  fellow- 
ship with  Christ  in  pity  for  His 
suffering  creature  -  "He  whose 


word  of  power  upheld  the  worlds 
would  stoop  to  relieve  a  wounded 
bird."  Desire  of  Ages  p.  46. 

Sincerely, 

Dm  &  Susan  Rourke 

A  lick  on  the  cheek  and  swish  of 
the  tail  to  David  Kay,  Floyd 
Wolters,  Dean  Evans  and  mem- 
bers of  the  Men's  Club  who  took 
time,  money  and  immediate 
action  to  save  me.    . 

Your  friend  forever, 

Ginger.

DJerry  Dick  Lien 

Sometime  in  your  life  you  have 
perliaps  come  across  a  person 
who  insisted  that  if  he  only  hid 
the  time  he  would-be  a  writer. 
"After  all."  he  may  have  told 
you,  "I  am  full  of  ideas  just 
waiting  to  be  put  down  on  paper. 
I'm  sure  I  could  find  a  publisher. 
Writing  is  really  quite  simple;  all 
you  need  is  the  time." 

Imagine  for  a  moment  that  this 
incipient  Hemingway  is  a  friend 
of  yours,  and  his  comments  have 
been  insistent  over  a  prolonged' 
period  of  time.  At  last,  fed  up 
with  the  same  old  refrain,  you 
challenge  him  to  do  what  he  says 
is  so  easy.  As  an  added  incentive, 
you  promise  to  buy  him  a  vege- 
burger  as  a  regard  ftom  the  Cam- 
pus Kitchen  if  he  does  get  pub- 
lished. 

Faced  with  an  adequate  in- 
ducement, he  writes  his  paper,  or 
book,  and  sends  it  off  to  Insight, 
The  Hog  Breeders'  Gazette, 
McGraw-HUl,  or  the  Fly  by  NIgbt 
Press.  (You  see,  there  is  a  wide 
range  of  tastes  for  an  author's 


After  weeks  of  waiting,  the 
inevitable  comes  --  the  rejection 
slip.  There  is  neither  fame  nor 
vegeburger  for  the  budding 
writer. 

Popular  opinion  to  the  contrary, 
writing  is  not  as  easy  as  it  may  at 
first  appear.  Only  a  few  have 
found  it  as  easy  as  chemical  en- 
gineering or  swimming  the  Eng- 
lish Channel  with  one  hand  tied 
behind  his/her  back. 


Even  that  now  well-established 
author,  Snoopy,  had  his  first 
opus.  It  Was  a  Dark  and  Stormy 
Night,  turned  down  by  the  first 
publisher  he  mailed  it  to,  sending 
its  fuzzy  author  into  a  bad  case  of 
"rejection  slip  shock"  until  he  got 


an  assist  for  Charles  Schulz  and 
Holt,  Rinehart,  and  Winston. 

Nonetheless,  SMC  does  have 
among  its  student  body  a  pub- 
lisb^d  author.  Belinda  Dickerson, 
senior  communication  major,  has 
for  years  now  had  an  interest  in 
horses  and  the  racking  horse  in 
particular. 

This  interest  has  led  her  to 
write  a  book  on  the  subject.  The . 
Racking  Horse,  Vol.  1,  took  about 
a  year  to  research  and  write. 

Also,  like  Steven  Crane's  old 
chestnut  of  American  realism, 
Maggie:  a  GW  of  the  Streets,  the 
volume  was  privately  pubhshed 
by  its  author. 

"I  have  felt  that  there  has  been 
a  need  for  a  book  that  would  give 
a  history  of  the  racking  horse. 
There  is  a  fast-growing  interest  in 
the  breed,  and  I  wanted  to  pre- 
sent the  horse  in  the  book  and  to 
show  how  people  can  become 
involved  in  the  industry,"  said 
BeHnda. 

Miss  Dickerson  has.  included 
many  pictures  of  various  racking 
horses  in  the  volume.  It  also  tells 
about  the  trainer  and  how  they 
become  involved  with  the  breed. 
The  book,  though,  is  just  the 
latest  indication  of  a  deep  interest 
in  the  horse  on  the  part  of  its 
author. 

Belinda  has  won  the  Amateur 
Ladies'  World  Championship  in 
the  area.  "We  really  worked,, 
hard  for  the  event  and  expected  to 
come  in  among  the  top  ten.  But 
we  never  thought  that  I  would  win 
the  title.  It  was  really  exciting, " 
exclaimed  the  girl. 


TJi 


Belinda  Dickerson  rides  the  Small  Town  Dade  in  the  1976  Ladles  Amateur  World  Cfaadplonshlps. 


Part  of  the  traimng  Belinda 
does  herself,  but  she  has  a  pro- 


fessional trainer  in  Alabama  who 
also  works  with  her  horses.  The 
headquarters  of  the  Racking 
Horse  Association  is  in  that  state. 

But  what  of  the  horse  itself? 
How  did  it  come  into  being? 
According  to  the  young  author, 
the  horse  has  been  around  almost 
as  long  as  the  United  States  has. 
'  'The  Racking  horse  evolved  from 
the  old-time  saddle  horse.  Some 
people  know  these  horses  as  the 
single  footers.  After  the  War 
Between  the  States,  there  was  a 
merger  between  pacers  and  trot- 
ters, and  they  were  registered  as 
the  Tennessee  WaUdng  Horse," 
said  the  young  woman.  Although 
it  went  into  the  Tennessee  walk- 
ing horse  breed,  the  animal  con- 


The  racking  pace  is  a  fast  rath- 
er showy,  usually  artificial  four- 
beat  gait  during  which  the  feet 
leave  the  ground  in  the  same 
sequence  as  in  the  walk,  but 
faster  and  with  a  higher  action. 

It  was,  however,  only  in  the 
past  five  years  that  the  Racking 
Horse  Association  of  America  was 
recognized  by  the  U.  S.  Depart- 
.ment  of  Agriculture.  This  action 
permitted  a  registration  system 
for  the  breed.  The  racking  horse 
is  presently  the  fastest  growing 
breed  in  the  United  States. . 

Again  referring  to  the  horse's 
gait,  Belinda  said  that  in  the  past 
when  cars  were  in  Httle  or  no 


evidence,  the  racing  horse  was 
'  very  popular  as  a  means  of  trans- 
portation. Doctors  and  circuit 
riders,  it  seems,  particularly  fa- 
vored the  breed. 

'  "People  say  that  the  gait  is  so 
smoth  that  a  rider  can  hold  a  glass 
of  water  and  not  spill  a  drop,'* 
laughed  Dickerson. 


officially 
!>le  can 


'  Now  that  the  breed 
recognized,  how  val 
such  a  horse  be?  "Well,  some 
horses  will  sell  for  $500,  but  some 
will  go  for  anywhere  from  $30  to 
$35  thousand.  A  top  show  horse 
usually  is  worth  about  $10  or  $12 
thousand.  A  world  champion 
racking  horse,  though,  would  be 
I  priceless  as  a  stud, ' '  commented 
Belinda.

Water    Polo   League  Making 
^  A    Big  Splash     On     Campus 


DMark  Kurzynske 

This  years  water  polo  league, 
under  the  direction  of  Herschel 
Logan,  is  now  in  progress.  The 
first  games  were  played  Tuesday 
night.  Oct.  18.  On  that  night. 
Websters  team  swept  a  double- 
header  beating  Herman's  team  in 
the  first  game  6-5.  The  second 
game  saw  Webster  outscoring 
Mullins  team  11-7. 


This  is  co-ed  water  polo,  with 
academy  kids  playing  and  even 
one  elementary  school  partici- 
pant. The  plan  is  to  form  another 
team  out  of  those  who  sign  up. 
The  league  also  hopes  to  intro- 
duce a  team  of  the  academy  kids.

The  neit  Tuesday  night.  Oct. 
25.  Webster  won  by  forfeit  of 
Herman  1-0  and  Mullins  then 
pulverized  Herman  17-3  in  the 
second  contest. 

Games  are  played  every  Tues- 
day night  and  will  continue  into 
December.  According  to  Tedd 
Webster,  anyone  still  can  sign  up. 


"It's  a  very  exciting  game  to 
watch  and  one  of  the  most  ex- 
hausting I  ever  have  played," 
stated  Webster.  Water  Polo  is  a 
lot  like  soccer  except  you  use  your 
hands  instead  of  your  feet.  Wo- 
men may  use  two  hands  while 
the  men  are  restricted  to  one.

"Turn  on  to  running"  is  going 
to  be  the  theme  of  the  CABL 
(Collegiate  Adventists  for  Better 
Living)  chapel  program  this 
morning,  highlighted  by  special 
guest  speaker  and  former 
olympian,  Jeff  Galloway. 

A  dyed-in-the-wool,  irrevers- 
ible case  of  running  addiction 
himself,  Jeff  Galloway  has  be- 
come an  outstanding  "pusher" 
for  the  running  habit,  having  sur- 
rounded himself  with  running. 
The  founder  of  Phidippides,  a 
national  growing  chain  of  running 
equipment  stores  and  the  brain- 
child of  the  Atlanta  Running 
Center  (an  international  live-ln 
research  haven  for  world-class 
competitive  runners,  now  in  an 
advanced   planning    stage)    Jeff 


welcomes  every  opportunity  to 
proselytize  for  Positive  Addiction. 

Positive  Addiction  is  the 
recently-coined  term  for  the  phe- 
nomenon that  makes  runners  do 
again  and  again  an  activity  that  to 
the  layman  seems  painful  and 
almost  ridiculous.  This  phenom- 
enon is  an  actual  physical  and 
mental  addiction  to  running, 
brought  about  by  experiencing 
the  "Third  Wind,"  a  feeling  of 
intense  well-being,  after  one  has 
run  several  miles.

No-No 
Typing  Rule 


Dear  Editor: 

■We  have  a  new  regulation  in 
Thatcher  and  that  is  we  can't  use 
our  typewriters  after  10:30  p.m. 
roomcheck  either  in  the  lobbies  or 
in  our  rooms. 

It  really  does  not  bother  me  to 
hear  a  typewriter  being  used  next 
door.  In  fact,  the  sound  rarely 
carries  that  far. 

I,  myself,  always  have  to  hand 
in  typewritten  reports  and  pa- 
pers. This  new  rule  to  me  is  very 
academy-like.  How  am  I  to  limit 
myself  to  certain  hours  to  type? 
Right  now  I  need  to  type  a  20- 
page  report.  With  my  other 
homework  and  the  need  to  go 
research  in  the  library,  1  probably 
won't  be  able  to  begin  and  finish 
typing  before  10:30  p. n:. 

All  right,  so  no  typing  at  all 
after  10:30  p.m.  When  is  the 
night  considered  to  be  over?  2:30 
a.m.?  5:30  a.m.?  I  think  I'll  type 
then.

readings  from  the  bed  of  a  hay 
wagon  decorated  with  bales  of 
hay  and  pumpkins:  we  had  a 
contest  of  costumes  (none  of 
which  were  required)  and  not  a 
single  witch,  ghost,  or  evil  spirit 
was  depicted:  we  ended  up  with  a 
crackling  bonfire  and  roasting  oi 
marshmallows. 

We  did  not  honor  Halloween  -- 
to  my  knowledge  there  wasn't  any 
sacrificial  altar,  nor  seance  cen- 
ter, not  even  any  bevy  of  witches, 
druids,  elves  or  other  "super- 
natural" bodies  in  evidence. 
Why  did  we  do  it?  Because  by  the 
end  of  the  first  nine-weeks  of 
school  we  need  some  kind  -of 
"out-of-doors"  social  event  to 
help  us  "let  off  a  little  steam,  "to

Dear  Editor: 

I  wish  to  express  my  thanks  to 
those  who  strive  to  cooperate  in 
the  public  meetings  at  this  school. 
By  cooperation  I  am  meaning 
those  who  shut  their  big  mouths 

so  either  they  or  others  may  listen    here.  In  this  case,  the  need  of  the 
and  understand   what  is  being    collective  whole  is  greater  than 


talking.  You're  talking  just  adds 
to  the  confusion!  Show  your 
maturity.  Remember  that  even 
the  dull  and  ignorant  have  some- 
thing worthwhile  to  say.

A  Dog's  Best 


Friend  Is 
His  Man 


Every  man  should  find  his  dog. 
Or  is  it,  Every  dog  should  find  his 
master?  Better  yet,  A  dog  is 
man's  best  friend.  How  'bout 
Man  is  dog's  best  friend?  What- 
ever! Let  me  tell  you  what 
happened  to  me. 

As  most  of  my  loyal  column 
followers  remember,  in  an  earlier 
column  this  year  I  wrote  an  article 
on  SMC's  Nicest  Nuisance.  The 
article  was  about  all  the  dogs  who 
hang  around  the  CK  and  some 
things  about  feeding  them  and 
their  responses.  Well,  my  story 
ended  with  the  bad  news  of  the 
dog  catcher  coming  and  taking 
away  all  the  dogs  without  or  with 
expired  doggie  tags. 
After  I  wrote  the  column  I  got 


to  meet  a  big  black  dog  I  had  seen

took  a  likin'  to  me.  He  acts  like  a 
person,  so  I  treat  him  like  one, 
and  it  is  for  this  reason  that  he 
likes  me,  1  think.  In  fact,  he 
thinks  I  own  him,  but  the  truth  of 
the  matter  is,  he  belongs  to  Tom 
and  Thelma  Sanders.  They  have 
to  come  down  and  get  him  every 
night,  from  not  far  away  in  the 
community,  and  take  him  back 
home. 

I  call  him  Blacky,  for  obvious 
reasons  (he  is  pitch  black  all 
over).  His  real  name  is  Spike. 
Spike  loves  Mike  (that's  me),  and 
follows  me  around  all  the  time. 
1  can  be  in  a  crowd  and  he  will 
leave  when  I  do. 

He  loves  to  tide  in  my  mail  van!

so  it's  useless  to  try  to  hide  him_

and  out,  so  that  we  can  go  som 
more,  but  there  are  some  plac" 
go  that  he  can't  go,  such  as

Oftentimes  he  can't  stand  to  wait.

How  To  Shop  For  Insuran 


In  today's  society  there  are 
many  things  that  can  easily  dis- 
rupt our  everyday  lives.  In  most 
instances  individuals  attempt  to 
limit  the  amount  of  risk  that  must 
be  taken. 

Risk  management  fits  into 
everyone's  daily  lives.  The  term 
risk  management  in  its  simplist 
form  means  the  using  of  all  alter- 
native methods  of  dealing  with  a 
risk.  The  ultimate  goal  is  the 
recognition  and  control  of  risk. 

Not  all  risks  are  insurable.  In 
fact,  most  of  the  risks  we  are 
exposed  to  in  daily  life  are  insig- 
nificant and  do  not  involve  serious 
financial  consequences. 

However,  there  are  many  po- 
tentially serious  events,  such  as 
fire,  automobile  accidents,  rob- 
bery, death  and  disability,  that 
can  cause  substantial  losses  when 
they  occur.  These  are  the  risks 
that  insurance  is  all  about. 

Let's  zero  in  and  look  at  life 
insurance  and  its  varied  pro- 
grams. Life  insurance  is  the 
keystone  to  wise  personal  money 
management.  Its  primary  pur- 
pose is  to  provide  protection 
against  untimely  death,  but  it  can 
also  be  used  as  a  savings  method, 
retirement  income,  to  build  an 
estate,  or  to  avoid  or  minimize 
taxes. 

The  first  question  one  must  ask 
himself  is,  "How  much  life  insur- 
ance do  I  need?"  Individual 
needs  vary.  As  a  rule  of  thumb, 
insurance  agents  urge  at  least 
five  times  your  annual  income  -- 
at  a  cost  of  five  per  cent  of  your 
salary.  Yet  a  single  college  stu- 
dent at  25  would  definitely  need 
far  less  than  a  married  student 
the  same  age.  So  all  circum- 
stances must  be  evaluated. 

In  today's  world,  more  and 
more  women  are  contributing  to 
the  success  of  a  family's  financial 
security,  so  the  loss  of  a  wife's  job 


through  death  or  disability  is  be 
coming  a  very  important  insur- 
able risk. 

There  are  three  basic  types  of 
life  insurance  policies  -  term 
whole  life,  and  annuities. 

Term  lite  insurance  provides 
protection  only.  Term  insurance 
policies  run  only  for  a  specific 
period  of  time,  usually  1,  5,  10,  or 
20  years.  Term  life  insurance  is 
a  very  attractive  and  wise  invest- 
ment for  most  singles  or  young 
married  couples  in  the  20-30  year 
age  bracket.  Term  insurance  has 
no  cash  value  at  the  end  of  the 
insured  period.  The  policy  simply 
expires. 

Decreasing  term  insurance  is 
often  known  as  mortgage  insur- 
ance. Many  working  home- 
owners desire  their  home  to  be 
paid  for  in  the  event  of  their 
unexpected  death.  A  decreasing 
term  policy  is  issued  for  the 
period  of  payout  on  the  home. 
In  the  event  of  death  the  unpaid 
balance  of  the  home  mortgage 
would  be  paid. 

The  whole  life  insurance  policy 
provides  coverage  to  the  insured 
for  his  entire  life.  It  provides  a 
predetermined  sum  at  death. 
Such  policies  provide  low  interest 
forced  savings  in  the  form  of  cash 
values  that  are  built  up  by  pay- 
ment of  premiums  larger  than 
needed  for  protection  alone.  If 
the  policy  is  cancelled,  the  cash 
value  would  revert  to  the  insured 
individual.  There  are  many  dif- 
ferent forms  of  whole  life  policies, 
so  read  and  understand  all  as- 
pects of  an  insurance  pohcy.  If 
for  any  reason  you  don't  under- 
stand a  clause,  ask  to  have  it 
explained. 

The  third  type  of  life  insurance 
is  the  endowment  policy,  which 
offers  protection  against  death  for 
a  specific  period  of  time,  such  as 
10,  20,  or  30  years  to  age  65

The  contract  pays  the  face  a- 
mount  of  the  policy  either  in  a 
lump  sum  or  in  installments  when 
the  conh-act  expires.  Endowment 
.  policies  are  basically  savings 
plans  with  an  insurance  element 
added.  The  sh-ess  on  the  insur- 
ance feature  also  is  a  major  limi- 
tation on  endowment  life  insur- 
ance. If  death  protection  is  what 
you  need,  a  great  deal  more  death 
protection  can  be  provided 
through  either  term  or  whole  life 
insurance.  Endowment  is  also 
the  most  expensive  type  of  insur- 
ance policy. 

The  fourth  type  of  life  insur- 
ance policy  is  the  annuity.  The 
basic  purpose  of  an  annuity  is  to 
assure  a  person  an  income  they 
cannot  ouUive,  as  well  as  one  that 
is  relatively  large  compared  with 
the  amount  paid  in  for  the  an- 
nuity. An  individual  pays  an 
insurance  company  a  specific  cap- 
ital sura  in  exchange  for  a  pro- 
mise that  the  insurer  will  pay  the 
insured  a  series  of  periodic  pay- 
ments upon  his  retirement  for  as 
long  as  he  or  she  lives. 

Some  guides  in  buying  insur- 
ance; 

•Read  and  understand  the  con- 
tract. Know  all  aspects  of  it. 
Know  what  your  paying  for  and 
exacUy  what  is  covered. 

•Have  your  insurance  agent 
explain  any  sections  or  phrases 
you  do  not  understand. 

•Buy  only  from  companies  li- 
censed to  sell  insurance  in  your 
state.  Otherwise,  the  state  insur-

New  Track  Oub  Sponsors 
Nov.  20  Fun  Run  And  T-Shirts 


Reuben  Castillo 

Sports  Editor 


w 


DKathy  Oakley 

A  new  club  has  been  formed  on 
our  campus  this  year  especially 
for  runners  of  all  kinds.  It's  the 
Track  club  and  the  director  is  Van 
Boddy,  a  junior  Biology  major. 

There  are  approximately  20 
committed  runners  on  our  cam- 
pus according  to  Boddy.  with  the 
committed  specifying  that  they 
run  five  miles  per  day. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year 
there  were  about  150  occasional 
runners  and  joggers.  This  num- 
ber has  dropped  to  about  75  now, 
with  40  or  50  of  those  being  quite 
regular. 

Boddy  stated  that  the  club  is 
still  in  its  beginning  stages,  but 
he  would  like  to  see  it  organized 
into  groups  of  long-distance  run- 
ners, sprinters,  and  possibly 
middle-distance  runners  under 
the  supervision  of  a  group  direc- 
tor. 

This  would  entail  training  on 
their  own  for  the  runners  in  each 
group  with  the  group  director 
occasionally  arranging  practices 
with  his  group  for  timings. 


Boddy  said  that  also  he  would 
like  to  see,  by  next  semester, 
bi-weekly  meetings  that  would 
include  short  seminars  on  in- 
juries, the  physiology  of  running, 
and  the  nutrition  needed  for  run- 
ning, and  other  related  topics. 

Coming  up  Nov.  20.  the  Track 
club  is  sponsoring  a  Fun  Run. 
This  is  a  run  that  is  between  a 
race  and  a  training  run.  These 
runs  were  developed  by  the  editor 
of  Runner's  World  about  five 
years  ago  and  have  become  in- 
creasingly popular  throughout  the 
nation. 

At  a  Fun  Run  everyone  starts  at 
the  same  time  as  in  a  race,  but  no 
trophies,  awards,  or  prizes  are 
given;  however  timings  will  be 
given  for  those  finishing. 

For  this  Fun  Run  there  will  not 
be  any  entry  fee.  and  it  will  be 
five-mile  course.  Anyone  inter- 
ested should  be  at  the  track  on 
campus  at  10  a.m.  Nov.  20, 

Some  of  the  plans  for  the  future 
include  a  run  to  be  held  at  the 
Festival   of  Faith   in   March   at 


Greensboro,  NC.  This  run  will  be 
around  20-25  kilometers  and 
there  will  be  a  $3  to  $5  entrance 
fee. 

Plans  are  being  made  to  adver- 
tise this  run  nationally,  with  an 
especially  heavy  blanket  placed 
on  the  southeastern  portion  of  the 
country,  according  to  Boddy. 
The  cost  for  this  advertising  will 
be  close  to  $5,000. 

Fart  of  the  advertising  cost  will 
be  spent  on  T-shirts.  These  are 
being  developed  now  and  will  be 
made  especially  for  this  run, 
■  Boddy  hopes  for  a  good  turn 
out  at  this  race.  He  stated  that 
one  of  the  reasons  for  developing 
the  T-shirts  is  because  "many 
runners  will  come  just  to  collect  a 
good-looking  T-shirt," 

Eventually,  Boddy  hopes  to  see 
a  track  team  formed,  and  ar- 
rangements made  to  compete  at 
the  other  races  in  this  area. 
Right  now,  he  is  hoping  to  ar- 
range with  the  Chattanooga  Track 
Club  for  a  small  run  early  in 
December.

The  football  games  have  been

reveals  Longshore  is  the  foremost 
team  after  the  first  round.  His 
passing  attack  is  a  crime  because 
it  cannot  be  contained.  They  are 
6-1  and  vow  to  continue  their 
successful  campaign.

by  tying  two  games.  Their  overa,. 
record  is  4-1-2,  with  the  two  ties 
being  computed  as  Vi-wins.  This 
would  make  them  a  game  ahead 
of  Robins  in  the  won  column. 
His  team  beat  Suarez  last  week 
49-17.  Martling  is  an  opportunis- 
tic team  with  a  strong  defense. 
Their  pass  coverage  is  unsur- 
PASSed. 

Robins  is. third  with  a  4-1  re- 
cord. They  are  in  a  good  position 
to  overtake  first  or  second  as  the 
season  progresses. 

Kittel  has  kept  his  team  on  an 
even  keel.  Their  record  exempli- 
fies this  fact.  2-2-2.  Sunday 
night.  Martling  and  Kittel  played 
to  a  12-12  tie  on  frozen  turf. 
Kittel  fought  back  in  the  second 
half  to  score  twice  after  Martling 
had  gotten  off  to  a  12-0  lead, 
Kittel  had  a  balanced  attack.  The 
players  produced  an  intense 
game  by  capitalizing  on  their  an- 
tagonists' errors.  His  games 
h-u  e  been  close  ones  as  his  record 
indicates. 

Shane  is  next  to  last  with  a  1-4 
record.  Suarez  must  win  all  the 
remaining  games  to  play  .500 
ball.  Their  record  of  0-5-1  does 
not  reflect  the  team's  quality. 
They  are  capable  of  winning  their 
remaining  games  and  making  this 
a  great  season.

Tarry  To  Address  1st  December 
Graduation  Commencement 


QRich    Ashlock    and    Dennis  Starkey 


Bryan  G.  Tarry,  pastor  of 
Florida's  Forest  Laie  Church,  will 
be  the  guest  speaker  at  the  com- 
mencement exercises  to  be  held 
Tuesday.  Dec.  20.  at  8  p.m.  in  the 
Collegedale  Church. 

This  is  the  first  time  there  has 
been  a  December  graduation  at 
SMC.  Explained  Mary  Elam, 
associate  director  of  admissions 
and  records,    "It's  the  first  time 


have  actually  scheduled  peo- 
ple to  finish  in  December." 
There  were  always  some  who 
would  finish  in  the  middle  of  the 
school  year,  but  the  members  of 
the  clinical  nursing  class  that  will 
be  participating  in  this  year's 
service,  55  in  all,  began  their 
curriculums  in  January,  1976. 

A  total  of  99  students  are  plan- 
ning to  graduate,  37  with  bac- 


calaureate degrees,  61  with  asso- 
ciate degrees,  and  1  with  a  one- 
year  diploma  in  food  service. 
Nine  others  participated  in  last 
year's  commencement  exercises, 
but  completed  their  requirements 
this  semester. 

The  nurses'  pinning  ceremony 
will  precede  the  graduation,  tak- 
ing place  at  5:30  p.m. 


One  of  two  motor  homes  loaded 
with  a  group  of  SMC  art  and 
behavioral  science  students  drove 
off  the  road  into  an  embankment 
and  overturned  at  6:15  Sunday 
morning,  Nov.  20. 

The  20-odd  students  and  five 
faculty  members  comprised  a 
study  tour  group  bound  for  New 
York  City  to  visit  the  major  art 
museums  and  receive  one  hour  of 
credit  for  Art  Appreciation  class. 
The  group  had  been  driving 
since  early  in  the  evening  of  the 
19th. 

Graham  Cooper,  former  stu- 
dent of  SMC,  was  at  the  wheel 
when  he  dozed  and  drove  the  73 
Champion  mobile  camper  onto 
the  left  shoulder  of  Highway  81  in 
Virginia,  two  miles  north  of  the 
New  Market  exit.  Cooper  swung 
the  camper  back  on  the  highway, 
overcorrected,  and  bounced  into 
the  embankment  on  the  right 
shoulder,  flipping  the  vehicle 
onto  its  left  side. 

The  impact  of  the  abrupt  stop 
threw  Greg  Vital,  Irene  Wilken- 
son,  Jackie  Morgan,  and  six-year- 
old  Rob  Garren  through  the  front 
windshield. 

All  ttie  passengers  sustained 
only  minor  bruises  and  abrasions: 
Cooper  fractured  three  fingers. 


Felts'  Road  Settlement  Poses 
New  Legal  Problem  For  Gty 


No  one  was  seriously  injured. 

"I  saw  it  coming."  said  Cindy 
Bata.  "I  woke  up  as  he  was 
swerving.  After  it  happened,  I 
walked  out  of  the  windshield. 
I  didn't  even  realize  it  was  the 
windshield^  It  looked  like  a 
door. ' ' 

"I  was  stuck  in  the  top  bunk.  1 
had  to  yell  for  someone  to  come 
get  me  out,"  said  Ruth  Garren, 
wife  of  art  professor  Garren. 
"I'm  surprised  I  came  out  with 
my  brains.  Right  near  my  head 
was  a  jagged  hole  through  the 
side  of  the  camper." 

The  mobile  home,  belonging  to 
Dr.  Rudolf  Aussner  and  Fred 
Fuller,  was  badly  damaged.  The 
New  Market  police  estimated  the 
damage  at  $20,000. 

The  students  were  taken  to 
North  Shenandoah  Memorial 
Hospital  by  the  New  Market  Res- 
cue Squad,  where  they  were 
checked  and  treated  for  abra- 
sions, then  released. 

"We  were  lucky,"  Bata  com- 
mented, "ithat  Shenandoah  Val- 
ley Academy  was  only  a  few  miles 
away.  They  rented  a  bus  to  us 
and  drove  us  to  New  York." 

The  accident  delayed  the 
group  13  hours. 


DJerry  Dick  Lien 

As  the  residents  of  Collegedale 
await  the  opening  of  the  new 
road,  the  City  has  found  itself 
involved  in  an  unexpected  legal 
problem. 


According  to  City  Manager  Lee 
Holland,  John  Felts,  publisher  of 
the  Quality  Shopper,  informed 
authorities  that  in  constructing 
the  road,  a  portion  of  land  owned 
by  Felts  had  been  taken  by  the 
City. 

The  land  in  dispute  consists  of 
about  one-quarter  acre  located 
directly  behind  E-Z-Duz  It. 

"Several  weeks  ago  Mr.  Felts 
said  that  we  had  encroached  on 
his  land  beyond  that  which  he  had 
given  as  a  donation  several  years 
ago.  Land  deeds  had  been  drawn 
up  involving  Mr.  Felts,  the 
McKees,  and  Southern  Mission- 
ary College  around  1973,"  stated 
Holland. 

The  City,  upon  further  investi- 
gation, decided  that  Felts'  com- 
plaint had  some  merit. 

According  to  law,  when  a  dis- 
pute of  this  nature  occurs,  the 
City  government  must  make  a 
survey  of  the  land  in  contention. 
This  must  be  conducted  by  a 
licensed  surveyor  whose  decision 
and  appraisal  of  property  value 
will  hold  in  a  court  of  law. 

Therefore,  a  survey  was  made 
which  showed  that  the  City  had 
indeed  encroached  upon  land 


held  by  Felts  and  the  College. 

The  City  has  since  then  filed 
inverse  condemnation  papers  and 
the  deposit  appraisal  money  for 
the  property  is  being  held  in 
trust  for  Felts.  Since  the  road  has 
already  been  built  over  the  prop- 
erty in  dispute,  the  City  now 
legally  holds  title  to  the  land  by 
The  Right  of  Eminent  Domain. 

Felts  now  has  the  alternative  of 
accepting  the  appraisal  money  for 
his  lost  property  or  of  taking  the 
case  before  a  court. 

"All  I  can  say  right  now  is  that 

ve  are  rather  embarrassed  that 


the  Ci^  did  encroach  on  land 
owned  by  Mr.  Felts  and  the 
College.  We  are  now  in  the 
process  of  working  out  a  settle- 
ment with  the  school.  But  as  far 
as  Mr.  Felts'  decision  is  con- 
cerned, the  City  is  still  uncertain 
as  to  its  final  outcome.  However, 
we  are  certain  that  some  solution 
can  be  found  which  will  prove  to 
be  mutually  satisfactory,"  said 
Holland. 

The  dispute  over  the  land  en- 
croachment is  not  likely  to  hinder 
in  any  way  the  opening  of  the 
road.

Men's  Club  Vending 
Yieick  20%  Profit 


DMark  Kurzynske 

The  Vending  Machine  Service 
branch  of  the  Talge  Hall  Men's 
club  is  now  a  profiteering 
venture.  According  to  David 
Kay,  the  manager  of  the  ma- 
chines, this  fiscal  year  will  bring 
in  $8,000  to  $10,000  worth  of 
sales.  One-sixth  to  one-fifth  of 
the  gross  income  is  profit,  which 
equals  about  $1,500. 

A  portion  of  this  profit  is  used 
to  pay  for  the  vending  machines 
and  any  repairs  that  may  be 
needed.  The  money  is  also  used 
to  buy  goods  to  keep  the  ma- 
chines stocked.  What  money  is 
left  is  used  to  supplement  the 
Men's  club  dues. 

The  vending  machines  are 
quite  expensive.  When  the 
Men's  club  first  brought  organi- 
zation to  the  vending  service, 
there  were  only  two  machines: 
the  "Tom's  Snacks"  and  an  old 
drink  machine.  The  dorm  bought 
two  new  machines,  a  new  drink 
machine,  and  a  good  dispenser. 
The  new  drink  machine  cost 
$1,100  and  the  food  machine  was 
$3,200.  But  with  the  addition  of 
the  food  machine,  which  brings  in 
50  per  cent  of  the  total  income, 
profits  will  triple. 

The  latest  acquisition  of  the 
vending  service  is  a  new  money 
changer  located  in  the  dorm  lob- 
by, which  cost  $800 

Kay  stated  he  puts  in  about  10 
hours  a  week  seeing  that  all  the 


food  IS  fresh.  He  picks  up  sand- 
wiches three  times  a  week  from 
the  cafeteria.  The  milk  is  brought 
m  direct  ft-om  the  Mayfield  daries 
which  enables  the  Men's  club  to 
pass  on  the  savings.  "We  try  to 
keep  the  prices  as  low  as  possible 
but  still  manage  a  profit,"  ex- 
plained Kay.  The  "Tom's" 
machine  is  kept  supplied  by  the 
-  "Tom's"  company. 

The  number  one  selling  item  is 
milk  which  is  3  cents  under  the 
cafeteria  price.  The  second  hot- 
test selling  good  is  sandwiches, 
while  blueberry  and  strawberry 
yogurts  rank  third. 

One  of  the  new  wrinkles  this 
year  in  the  vending  service  is  a 
profit-sharing  adventure.  Ac- 
cording to  Kay,  "We  started  this 
profit-sharing  business  to  let  the 
guys  benefit  from  the  profits,  also 
stimulate  an  interest  in  the  vend- 
ing service,  and  raise  some  quick 
cash  to  buy  the  coin  changer." 

Originally,  there  were  500 
shares  of  stock  for  sale  at  $1 
apiece,  but  only  45  were  sold. 
Kay  attributed  this  low  sale  to  the 
fact  that  a  lot  of  guys  were  wary 
about  stability  of  the  venture. 
Figures  from  last  month's  sales 
indicate  the  return  for  each  dollar 
invested  will  be  21  cents.  That's 
a  large  20  per  cent  interest  rate 
which    Kay    stated,    "can't    be

Open  House  was  held  Sunday, 
Dec.  4  for  the  Life  Care  Center  of 
Collegedale  nursing  home  located 
on  Apison  Pike  adjacent  to  the 
new  medical  building. 

The  new  124  bed  facility  is  a 
member  of  parent  corporation, 
Life  Care  Centers  of  America, 
located  in  Qeveland,  Tenn. 

Life  Care  Center  of  Collegedale 
has  been  designed  with  the  spe- 
cial needs  of  a  convalescing  or 
nursing  home  patient  in  mind. 
Its  staff  offers  to  patients  24-hour- 
a-day  care  under  the  supervision 
of  a  registered  nurse,  Susan  Sines 
Frazier. 

Frazier,  director  of  Nursing 
Services  at  the  Center,  graduated 


Care 
House 


from  Southern  Missionary  Col- 
lege with  a  bachelor  of  science 
degree.  Since  then,  she  has 
worked  at  the  Green  Hill  Health 
Center  in  Reading.  Penn. 

According  to  Ralph  Robinson, 
administrator,  "Ours  is  an  inter- 
mediate care  facility.  That  means 
that  we  will  not  be  handling 
patients  classified  as  skilled  care. 
All  of  our  patients  will  be  under 
the  care  of  their  own  private 
physicians,  and  we  will  be  dealing 
with  the  chronically  ill,  long  and 
short  term  convalescents,  post- 
operative, ambulatory  or  bedfast, 
and  elderly  patients. 

We  are  equipped,  for  instance. 


to  handle  cancer  patients  who  are 
dying  but  who  do  not  need  24- 
hour  a  day  care  by  an  RN.  In 
other  words,  ours  is  not  ar.  inten- 
sive care  operation." 

The  Life  Care  Center  has  a- 
mong  its  staff,  a  speech  therapist 
and  a  consulting  physical 
therapist. 

A  feature  of  the  new  complex  is 
its  activities  program  desig;:ed  to 
fit  a  patient's  individual  needs, 
likes,  and  dislikes.  A  social 
services  person  whose  assign- 
ment is  to  aid  patients  to  adjust  to 
their  new  environment  is  also  a

TP  Shortage  In  Thatche 


Editorial 


Ifs  been  rumored  around  that  chapels  are  horribly  bonng  and  a 
waste  of  time.  And  two  letters  this  week,  as  you'll  notice,  touch  on 
the  subject.  Prof.  Rima  says  "abolish"  and  Ray  Hartwell  says 
they're  not  needful.  Both  deplore  the  fact  that  faculty  get  to  miss 
out  on  chapels.  j    u      19 

The  Eds  ask  why  should  the  facul^  have  to  attend  chapel.' 
If  you  think  chapel  is  the  pits  -  something  disagreeable  --  then  do 
we  drag  everyone  down  to  them?  If  we  must  suffer  -  make 
everyone?  Should  the  faculty  attend  our  worships,  be  required  to 
sign  out  for  church,  have  to  eat  a  minimum  of  $40  in  the  cafe? 
When  a  thing  is  convenient  for  us.  we  don't  care  if  the  faculty  are 
invdved  or  not.  But  when  it  comes  to  inconvenience,  good  holler, 
where  are  the  faculty? 

The  Eds  class  the  faculty  in  a  different  category  than  students. 
We  are  here  to  get  smart  the  faculty  are  not. 

We  admit  that  the  pits  is  the  pits  up  to  the  hilt  at  times  (which 
doesn't  say  much  for  quality),  but  why  tai  the  'ole  noggin  to  try  to 
do  away  with  what  our  educational  leaders  consider  motivational 
and  morale-building  (assemble-the-crew-  and-let-them-know-that- 
we're-all-on-this-ship-together-type-business)?  We  can't  change  it 
.-  fact  it  Every  other  SDA  college  must  submit  to  it  even  those 
labeled  more  liberal  and  advanced  than  SMC. 

In  response  to  the  letter  this  week  that  makes  the  suggestion  that 
„e  editorialize  on  the  necessity  of  chapels,  we  say  that  cracking  our 
heads  against  a  brick  wall  is  not  our  style. 


Dear  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  report  a  shortage 
of  toilet  paper  in  Thatcher.  Upon 
returning  from  Thanksgiving  va- 
cation, I  found  that  our  entire 
supply  of  Charmin  had  been  de- 
pleted. Was  there  a  notorious 
T.P.  thief  in  the  dorm? 

I  have  since  learned  that  we  are 
on  a  toilet  paper  rationing  sys- 
tem. Why  just  tonight  a  strange 
rap  was  heard  at  my  door.  After 
answering  with  a  cheery  "Come 
in,"  I  saw  an  anonymous  hand 
place  a  single  roll  of  toilet  paper 
in  our  room,  it  reminded  me  a 
little  of  throwing  scraps  of  food  in 
a  prison  cell.  When  are  the  bars 
being  put  in,  deans? 

What  is  the  reason  behind  this 


We  also  need  to  make  a  little  announcement  concerning  our 
letters  to  the  editor.  Because  we  want  to  include  every  letter,  we 
are  asking  that  you  limit  yourself  to  250  words.  Chop  the 
preliminary  rhetoric  and  get  down  to  basics.  With  a  few  carefully 
chosen  words  your  point  can  actually  come  across  better. 


sudden  shortage?  I  suspect  an 
underground  T.P.  ring  has  been 
secretly  confiscating  all  our  sur- 
plus supplies  and  thus  forcing 
upon  us  such  drastic  measures  as 
rationing. 

What  are  we  to  do  if  we  tun  out 
of  our  allotted  amount  before 
ration  time?  Beg,  borrow,  and 
steal  from  our  neighbors?  Of 
course,  we  have  been  informed 
that  we  can  purchase  more  toilet 
paper  at  the  V.M.  if  we  run  out 
How  thoughaul!  Something  else 
to  spend  our  already  limited  re- 
sources on.  Isn't  this  getting  a 
little  ridiculous?

Dean's  Response  On  Rule 


Dear  Editor: 

In  response  to  the  article  in  the 
last  issue,  written  by  the  "Irate 
Umbrella  Owner,"  I  feel  an 
added  explanation  is  necessary  to 
complete  the  picture. 

Nothing  was  mentioned  about 
the  many  notices  in  the  Thatcher 
Bulletin  about  keeping  umbrellas 
out  of  the  halls.  Can  yoi' imagine 
how  difficult  it  would  be  to  evacu- 
ate a  building  in  case  of  fire  that 
had  open  umbrellas  lining  both 
sides  of  the  halls?  During  a  heavy 
rain,  accompanied  by  lightning , 
the  chances  for  fire  would  be  a 


concern. 

This  is  not  to  mention  the  effect 
upon  the  hall  carpet  when  that 
many  umbrellas  are  left  to  drip  in 
a  public  area.  The  suggestion 
was  made  that  the  umbrellas  be 
folded  and  put  in  the  bathrooms 
to  drip  where  the  floor  has  a  drain 
to  handle  the  excess  water. 

I  must  admit,  the  "vivid  color- 
ation and  simplicity  of  design" 
were  pleasing  to  the  eye,  but 
hazardous  in  case  of  an  emer- 
gency evacuation.

Make   Chapel    Optional 


Jeans  OK 

Dear  Editor: 

Sometimes  the  new  dress  code 
seems  a  little  confusing  to  me.  I 
understand  allowing  girls  to  wear 
pants.  I'm  sure  they  appreciate 
it,  especially  when  the  weather 
starts  turning  cold  like  it  has 
been.  Although  I  feel  that  it's 
more  becoming  for  them  to  wear 
dresses,  many  problems  have 
been  overcome  by  this  decision  - 
such  as  dresses  being  too  short. 

What  I  don't  understand  is  the 
ruling  out  of  wearing  jeans  for 
guys.  This  rule  came  as  a  sur- 
prise to  many  of  us,  and  found  us 
with  no  choice  except  to  buy  a 
completely  different  wardrobe  for 
this  year.  According  to  the  Spirit 
of  Prophecy,  our  clothes  are  to  be 
neat,  simple,  and  of  good  wearing 
material.  Nothing  is  stated  about 
ruling  out  a  certain  color  or  type 
of  material. 

I  know  this  was  probably  a  hard 
decision  for  the  school  to  make. 
Maybe  this  rule  was  made  be- 
cause some  kids  abused  the  privi- 
lege of  wearing  jeans,  but  certain 
people  abuse  any  rule,  i  really 
don't  feel  the  giris  would  carry  a 
grudge  if  we  were  allowed  to  wear 
jeans,  especially  since  they  got 
the  privilege  of  wearing  pants  this 
school  year.  T  truly  wish  this 
matter  could  be  reconsidered. 

Sincerely, 
Elgin  E.  Frye 


Dear  Editor: 

After  reading  the  lettei  written 
by  the  leadcr{?)  of  "The  People's 
Party."  I  decided  to  voice  my 
distaste  for  the  insinuations  that 
every  student  that  is  manditorily 
required  to  attend  chapel  is  to  go 
and  aside  from  getting  a  "bles- 
sing" and  "enjoying"  the  chapel, 
sit  like  little  zombies  with  their 
hands  folded  in  their  laps  and  say 
nothing  unless  called  upon!!! 

What  Mr.  Holt  doesn't  state  is 
that,  unlike  faculty,  students 
can't  be  either  tardy  nor  absent 
whenever  they  "jolly  well 
please."  He  also  forgets  that 
there  are  many  students  that 
really  wish  they  were  doing  some- 
thing else  with  the  time  they  have 
to  "kill"  sitting  there  listening  to 
someone  rant  and  rave  at  a  po- 
dium! Furthermore,  why  should 
they  be  manditorily  required  to  do 
so!?  Very  little,  if  any,  credit  is 
offered  for  it,  yet  a  student  can  be 
dismissed  for  being  absent  more 
than  allotted  him/her. 

Therefore,  if  Mr.  Holt  wants  to 
cut  down  on  the  amount  of  noise 
that  he  has  to  put  up  with,  may  I 
suggest  that  he  put  his  time  and 
efforts  into  getting  the  manual 
changed  so  that  chapel  be  made 
optional  for  students!!!  This 
should  to  a  great  degree  solve  his 

1    problem  of  the  need  of  silence. 
Changing  the   subject.   Mr. 
Grundset  should  be  given  a  medal 
for  setting  many  straight  on  the 


subjects  related  to  by  the  very 
one-sided  letter  and  article 
printed  in  the  Accent.  Thanks  for 
letting  us  know  that  there  is 
another  side  of  life  as  opposed  to 
walking  around  in  a  "religious 
stupor"  day  in  and  day  outl

Committee  approved  a  course 
which  will  be  listed  in  our  catalog 
as  "Parenting."  And  thus  we

almost  as  unobtrusively  as  Satan 
came  serpenting  into  the  gardeni 
Suddenly  one's  aspirations  can 
be  couched  in  different  terms.  I 
hope,  for  example,  that  as  exami- 
nations approach  our  classes  will 
do  a  good  job  of  studenting. 
And  please,  young  people,  take 
care  of  the  new  dormitory  wings 
while  residenting  in  them.  I  trust 
too  that  the  happy  squirrels  I  see 
from  my  office  window  will  con- 
tinue to  be  successful  at  ro-

Ihnraday,  December  8, 1977  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  -  S 


Dear  Editor: 

Really  I  wanted  to  discard  the 
very  idea  of  wriHng  the  wonderful 
world  of  Collegedale  this  untrad- 
itional  letter,  because  inevitably, 
reaching  any  conclusion  of  unity 
held  by  the  mass  is  futile,  ab- 
surdly ridiculous,  and  totally  out 
of  the  question  no  matter  who 
says  what  or  how  long  they  say  it. 
But  even  as  an  outsider  to  the 
SMC  campus,  I  feel  compelled  to 
offer  my  dastardly  sound  opinion 
along  with,  no  doubt,  everyone 
else's. 

First,  allow  me  to  state  most 
emphatically  that  under  no  pre- 
tense do  1  claim  to  be  a  skilled, 
cunning  writer  (as  this  letter  may 
testify),  or  have  authority  in  the 
music  field  or  music  theory  (with 
the  exception  of  consultation  from 
certain  Adventist  musicians  and 
music  professors  in  certain  Ad- 
ventist institutions).  After  all,  I 
find  that  the  whole  great  contro- 
versy over  music,  (rock  and  roll  in 
particular),  its  connotations,  and 
its  possible  applications  amusing. 
Enough  of  this  preliminary  rhe- 
toric. 

Imagine  someone  writing  this 
hypothetical  letter:  "Dear  Fa- 
culty Member  (or  anyone  for  that 
matter):  I  detest  your  tie.  I 
mean,  it  is  awful  what  that  tie 
does  to  me  I  Every  time  you  wear 
it  to  class,  I  get  sexually  excited 
and  have  nasty  thoughts.  And  in 
class,  it  is  terribly  embarrassingi 
Tou  see,  before  I  was  converted 
last  month,  red  and  unholy 
thoughts  of  mine  went  together 
like  Flip  Wilson  and  Geraldine. 
Your  red  tie  reminds  mp  of  my 
past.  Please  don't  wear  it. 
Sincerely,  Student." 

Now  I  have  some  questions.  Is 
it  morally  wrong  to  wear  red  in 
God's  view?  Is  red  unholy? 
Should  the  professor  wear  red 
before  that  student?  Are  some 
things  wrong,  merely  due  to  their 
history,  because  they  have  dis- 
tasteful connotations? 

It's  funny,  but  many  people 
that  sincerely  preach  rock  and  roll 
(per  se)  is  hell  for  our  youth  like  to 
listen  to  it  themselves.  Some  of 
those  very  ones  even  support  rock 
music.  Many,  (heaven  forbid),  of 
these  people  go  as  far  as  to  be 
avid  fans  of  the  "devil's  music." 
How?  Oh,  our  Heritage  Singers 
are  a  typical  example  of  mild 
rock.  Famed  WDEF  (FM)  and 
"tNQ  are  notorious  for  airing 
pop  rock  hits  (tempo  slowed

MtCauffiel.   I'm  not  even  argu- 
ing (just  presenting  my  decided 
opinion).  Anyone  can  deduce  that 
his  feature  article  "Rock  Can  Still 
l-arry  A  Salvation  Message"  is 
lU-conceived,  poorly  written,  and 
above  all,   very  unpersuasivs. 
Just   what   is    "Guitar   Player" 
magazine  anyway? 
The  whole  point  is  that  the  term 
Kock    rs  too  general  and  vague 
to  the  populous.    What,  exactly 
precisely  is  rock?     Is  it  any 
"piercing,    dominating"    music? 


If  It  makes  me  happy,  or  if  1  stomp 
the  floor,  then  is  it  bad  rock? 
Is  there  good  rock  and  bad  rock? 
If  so,  what  makes  the  difference? 
Or  is  it  morally  right  to  be  happy 
and  stomp  the  floor,  anyhow? 
Every  person  decides  to  himself 
with  God  alone. 

To  me,  stomping  the  floor  and 
wearing  the  red  tie  are  similar.  If 
1  offend  my  brother  with  it,  then  I 
offend  God.  But  1  believe  Jesus 
wants  us  to  be  happy  in  Him,  and 
some  music  (not  just  any  or  all)  is 
very  emotional.  Anyone  who 
can't  help  but  physically  express 
their  emotions  to  glorious  music 
like  (oh,  say)  Handel's  Messiah, 
or  Give  Me  That  Old  Time  Reli- 
gion or  mild  religious  rock  like 
John  Fischer's  Napthali  (Gen 
49:21)  is  dull.

Movie-Goers  Hell-Bound? 


Dear  Editor: 

In  response  to  "The  Saturday 
Night  Movies"  letter,  I  would  like 
to  say  that  if  the  gentleman  would 
read  other  E.G.  White  statements 
as  zealously  as  he  interprets  the 
ones  he  does,  he  might  see  a 
diffent  story. 

Mrs.  White  clearly  states  that 
we  should  be  carefiil  not  to  take 
her  statements  out  of  context. 
Mrs.  White  was  not  against  hav- 
ing fun.  And  many  films  - 
despite  the  fact  that  they  might 
have  been  shown  in  the  theater  - 
are  very  clean  and  innocent.  I 
feel  that  we  are  going  overboard 
in  saying  that  all  movies  are" 
sinful.  I  can't  imagine  how 
watching  cartoons  once  a  week,  or 
seeing  a  film  occasionally  in  the 
gym  is  going  to  lead  our  student 


body  astray. 

May  I  point  out  that  movies  and 
films  are  used  extensively  as 
teaching  aides  such  as  Drivers 
Ed,  or  Science  courses,  etc.  If  we 
are  to  hold  to  the  postulate  that  all 
movies  are  bad,  we  must  say  that 
the  Christian  experience  of  the 
students  that  have  watched  these 
films  (such  as  the  Francis 
Shaeffer  series  -  which  the  col- 
lege has  purchased)  has  been 
damaged.  Why  must  we  always 
deal  in  the  extremes? 

I  realize  that  there  are  people 
on  campus  that  feel  that  all 
movies  are  bad.  However,  it  may 
be  that  they  are  unwilling  to 
discuss  the  pros  and  cons  of  each 
one,  so  they  state  that  all  movies 
are  bad. 
Sincerely, 
Tim  Holbrook 


Tipping  The  Piano   Lid 


Dear  Editor: 

I  tip  my  piano  lid  to  Dr.  Ashton 
on  his  response  to  the  Cauffiel 
article.  The  hardest  thing  to  do 
today  is  to  "call  sin  by  its  right 
name."  It's  tough;  truth  is  not 
popular  today  because  it's  incon- 
venient to  worry  about  it. 

My  favorite  Christian  author 
states  in  2  SM  36-37  that  this  is 
going  to  be  a  problem  in  the  last 
days.  She  has  some  tough  things 


to  say  about  it,  but  she  is  careftil 
to  suggest  that  it  is  not  just  her 
opinion. 

I  don't  mean  to  judge  the  sin- 
ner, because  that  is  not  my  duty 
because  I.  am  not  worthy  of  that. 
But  I  do  see  things  that  do  not  go 
along  with  a  God  of  order  and  of 
peace,  so  I  do  find  myself  hating 
the  sin.  I  want  nothing  to  lower  or 
deface   the    image    of   my    Re- 


deemer. 

One  more  thought.  If  any  man 
uses  the  name  of  God  in  any  way 
that  does  not  glorify  God  and  only 
God,  and  in  a  way  acceptable  to 
Him.  Remember  the  third  com- 
mandment? Let's  bear  His  name 
with  the  highest  and  noblest  of 
our  poor  efforts.  All  he  asks  for  is 
our  best. 
Sincerely, 
Mic  Thurber 


Talenf  Display 


Ad  Man  Tells  Eds  How 


Dear  Editor: 

I'm  truly  disappointed  as  I  re- 
J'lew,  in  my  mind,  the  events  of 
'ne  talent  program  Saturday 
"'ght,  Nov.  12. 

^  don't  mean  to  criticize  anyone 
*no  participated  or  to  belittle  the 
organizers  and  directors  of  the 
program,  for  being  a  participant 
'"  a  few  talent  shows  myself,  I 
know  how  hard  you  work  to  get 
^ he  acts  together."  But  I  must 
say  that  I  was  very  surprised  with 
some  of  the  things  that  were 
presented    under   the    name    of 

talent." 

First  of  ail,  there  was  a  medley 
^  popular  rock  songs  that  sug- 
S^sted  immorality  almost  all  the 
way  through.  Then  came  the 
fcene  featuring  The  Fonz  and 
Mr.  Midnight  Lover,"  whose 
«ce  and  neck  were  plastered  with 


lipstick.  The  Great  Bank  Robbery 
skit  was  clever  indeed,  but  if  as 
children  we  are  not  allowed  to 
play  with  guns  and  act  out  the 
part  of  cops  and  robbers,  why 
should  we  condone  the  game  in 
the  name  of  talent  now  that  we 
are  adults? 

I  felt  sick  when  I  saw  the  same 
clothing  being  worn  Saturday 
evening  that  is  worn  by  worldy 
performers  in  circusses  and  carni- 
vals. 

I  don't  mean  to  be  totally  nega- 
tive, for  I  did  enjoy  much  of  the 
program.  But  I  couldn't  help 
wondering  if  we  all  might  not 
have  felt  a  bit  uneasy  if  Christ 
was  visably  sitting  in  a  front  seat, 
watching  His  precious  children 
display  the  very  talent  He  has 
entrusted  them  with. 
Sheryl  Ford 


Dear  Editor: 

I  wish  to  reply  to  the  editorial  in 
the  last  Soatiieni  Accent,  (Nov. 
17).  While  I  admire  your  per- 
ception in  being  able  to  find  an 
obvious  inconsistency  on  the  front 
of  Daniells  (D-A-N-I-E-L-L-S) 
Hall,  surely  there  must  be  some- 
thing with  a  deeper  social,  cultur- 
il,  or  spiritual  impact  you  can 
address  yourself  to.  After  all,  just 
what  does  one  missing  "L"  do  for 
or  against  the  educational  process 
of  this  school. 

Hopefully,  now  that  this  school 
year  is  well  underway,  the  paper 
can  editorialize  on  something 
more  basic  to  student  life  than  a 
Coil-of-Cable  outside  Wright 
Hall,  or  an  absent  "L"  on 
Daniells  Hall.  If  you  are  running 
out  of  ideas,  you  could  discuss  the 
need  for  mid-week  chapels,  and  if 
they  are  so  need^I,  why  aren't 


they  required  for  faculty  as  well. 

Or,  maybe  you  could  investi- 
gate the  high  cost  of  SDA  college 
education,  and  why  some  experts 
thing  it's  probable  that  in  ten 
years,  SMC  may  cease  to  exist. 
Then  too,  you  could  examine  how 
the  educational  costs  have 
climbed,  but  the  average  student 
is  working  fewer  hours  to  earn 
money  for  his  tuition. 

Just  some  suggestions  to  get 
the  ole  gears  turning  upstairs. 
Looking  forward  to  the  next  issue.

THE  TWINS 


DPamLegere 


THE  REYNOLDS 


Thomas  Lester  Reynolds  and 
Timothy  Lee  Reynolds,  identical  twins, 
were  bom  in  Erie,  Pa.,  on  that  blissful 
morning  of  Augusts,  1953.  Tim 
entered  the  world  first,  making  him 
three  minutes  older  than  Tom.  Tom, 
however,  seems  to  think  they  both  look 
older  than  their  24  years  of  age. 

The  twins'  home  is  Columbia,  S.C. 
In  their  immediate  family  they  have 
two  sisters  and  three  brothers.  In- 
terestingly enough,  their  mother  had 
twin  sisters,  and  ther  mother's  mother 
(grandmother)  had  twin  sisters. 
(Twins  are  said  to  run  in  the  family). 

When  asked  if  they've  ever  switched 
roles, both  replied,"Yes."  Mcstot 

trii;ks  were  done  in  their  junior 
high  and  senior  high  school  years. 
Tom  and  Tim  pulled  the  switch  off 
smoothly  every  time,  because  the 
instructors  never  seemed  to  get  wise  to 
them. 

Tim  said  that  at  home,  "Up  until  we 
were  three  or  four  years  old  our 
parents  couldn't  tell  us  apart." 

"But  people  had  more  problems  in 
distinguishing  who  we  were  after  we 
turned   22.  Including  our  parents," 
added  lorn.  "Mom  calls  me  Tim  and 
Tim,  Tom." 

Do  they  feel  insulted  when  one  is 
called  the  other?  Both  answered, 
"Definitely,  but  it  has  grown  on  us 
We  just  let  the  people  think  they're 
speakmg  to  the  right  person.  We 


(ONLY  THEIR 
HAIRDRESSER 
KNOWS 
FOR  SURE) 


cyA 


wouldn't  want  to  insult  them." 
Tim  and  Tom  have  the  same 
interests,  the  same  thinking  patterns, 
the  same  future  goals,  the  same 
statures,  etc. 

Tom:  "I  like  all  types  of  sports -- 
mostly  water  sports,  and  especially 
scuba  diving." 

Tim:  "Hike  all  types  of  sports -- 
surfing,  skiing,  scuba  diving." 

Both  enjoy  jogging  and  make  it  a 
daily  practice. 

Tom:  "I  like  all  home  cooking-- 1 
have  no  preference." 

Tim :  "Hike  Italian  foods ,  mostly 
lasagia." 

Oddly,  their  favorite  colors  differ. 
Tom  1  kes  blue  and  green;  Tim  favors 
I  tan  and  white. 

Tom's  vital  statistics:  6'l'/2"  tall; 
168  lbs.;  hazel  eyes. 
Tim's  vital  statistics:  6'1"  tall;  165 
1  lbs.;  hazel  eyes. 

Both  have  the  same  shoe  size  and 
clothing  size.  Do  they  wear  each 
other's  clothes?  Both  replied,  "No. 
We  wear  our  own  clothes." 

In  spite  of  being  so  identical,  the 
twms  admit  that  there  are  marks  one 
can  look  for  to  tell  them  apart.  "Tom's 
got  a  fatter  face  and  parts  his  hair  on 
the  left  side,"  Tim  explained. 

"Yeah,  Tim  has  a  skinny  face  and 
parts  his  hair  on  the  right  side,"  Tom 
countered. 

As  far  as  one  excelling  the  other  in 


Uft  To  Right:  RusseUandGregCa'''| 

any  field  or  subject,  Tom  thinks  he  is 
more  studious  and  industrious  than 
Tim.  "  Studying  comes  more  natural 
for  me  than  Tom,  "Tim  interjected. 

Tim  tops  Tom,  however,  when  it 
comes  to  artistic  ability.  He  has 
already  entered  his  artwork  in  sever 
contests  and  has  done  pretty  decentj^ 
Lately,  Tim  said,  he  hasn't  had  mucn 
time  to  do  any  drawings  because  oi 
busy  schedule.  .„ 

Presently,  Tim  and  Tom  work  iu 
hours  a  week  on  the  second  sh*  ^' 
McKee's  Bakery.  Then  on  Tuesday  ^ 
and  Thursday  they  work  for  Dr.  Ko 
Graham,  a  D.D.S.  in  Ringgold,  ua     _ 

The  Reynolds  are  taking  two  class 
together  here  at  SMC  -  Teaching  ° 
Jesus  and  Industrial  Metals.  B«^ 
oftheir  schedules,  Tom  said, 
don't  socialize  too  much.  Westu  i 
more."  _ 

The  two  are  planning  to  open  up

shop  together  as  dentists  someday. 
They  believe  that  their  thinking  alilce 
will  be  a  great  asset  in  their  practice. 
Tim  stated,  "I  believe  we  think  more 
alike  than  we  look  alike." 

The  only  disadvantage  in  thinking 
^like  they  said,  is  when  it  comes  to 
social  activities  with  girls.  Tom  said, 
"If  we  like  the  same  girl,  Tim  just  has 
to  find  another  one." 

'Tom  would  just  have  to  stay  home 
while  I  am  out  with  her,"  Tim  replied 
hastily. 

Both  attended  the  University  of 
South  Carolina  for  four  years,  but  will 
graduate  this  December  from  SMC 
with  a  Chemistry  major.  After 
graduation,  around  Dec.  27  or  28,  they 
Will  be  leaving  for  Loma  Linda. 


Left  To  Right:  Lydia  and  Leslie  Smith.  Photo  by  Rhonda  Runyan. 


The  teachers  on  campus  can't  tell 
them  apart  either.  Lydia  remarked 
laughingly  that,  "Dr.  Don  Dick  makes 
jokes  about  it.  Dr.  Floyd  Greenleaf 
seats  us  alphabetically,  and  Coach  Bud 
Moon  just  gave  up." 

There  is  one  prominent 
distinguishing  mark  to  set  these  girls 
apart.  Lydia  has  a  small  round. freckle 
(beauty  mark)  under  her  right  eye. 
Her  eyes  slant  more,  too.  Leslie 
asserted,  "I'm  the  original  copy  (no 
blemishes)  with  wider  eyes." 

Lydia  is  S'7'/i"  tall,  weighs  133  lbs., 
has  a  bigger  body  build,  and  hazel 
eyes. 

Leslie  is  S'6'/2"  tall,  weighs  129  lbs., 
has  a  smaller  body  build,  and  hazel 
eyes.  Both  do,  however,  still  wear  the 
same  size  shoes  and  clothes. 

Like  the  Reynolds  twins,  the  Smiths 
claim  to  think  alike,  too. 

"Sometimes  I'll  be  thinking  of 
something  and  Lydia  will  say  it  word 
for  word,"  remarked  Leslie. 

"I  can  sometimes  feci  Leslie's 
pain." 

As  far  as  their  thinking  pattern 
concerning  the  opposite  sex,  Leslie 
remarked,  "Our  interest  in  guys  is 
usually  different,  with  the  exception  of 
the  time  I  took  Lydia's  friend  away 
from  her,  but  that  was  the  only  time." 

Both  like  working  with  their  hands 
and  working  on  cars. 

Neither  feels  inferior  to  the  other 
but  Lydia  commented,  "We  do  not  like 
to  be  compared  as  far  as  our 
personality  goes.  We  each  have  quite 
a  different  personality. ' ' 

Their  goals? 

Lydia:  "To  help  my  little  sis  at 
Bonnie  Oaks  to  find  Christ  and  to  be  an 
example  to  my  friends.  When  the  time 
of  trials  comes,  I  want  to  stand  fast." 

Leslie:  "I  want  to  help  handicapped 
children  and  continue  teaching 
swimming  lessons." 


THE  SMITHS 


Leslie  Dawn  Smith  and  Lydia  Shawn 
Smith  are  freshmen  Communication 
majors  who  presently  come  from  Mt. 
Plymouth,  Fla.  They  have  two  older 
brothers  and  no  sisters,  other  than  the 
other  twin,  and  the  two  are  the  only 
Adventists  in  their  family.  Leslie  and 
Lydia  are  the  first  set  of  twins  in  their 
entire  family  tree. 

Leslie  and  Lydia  were  born  July  3, 
1958  at  the  Vitburg,  West  Germany 
U.S.  Air  Force  Base.  Leslie  was  born 
at  12  p.  m.  and  Lydia  at  1 :30  p.  m. 
Leslie  likes  all  outdoor  sports, 
photography,  teaching  swimming 
lessons,  and  writing.  Lydia  likes  any 
challenging  sports,  poetry,  short 
stories,  singing,  and  counseling  (she 
would  like  to  be  an  RA  one  day). 

Italian  food  hits  the  spot  for  both. 
Spaghetti  is  Lydia's  favorite  dish  and 
lasagna  is  Leslie's.  Lydia  loves 
cooking  up  her  own  batches  of  food, 
but  Leslie  hates  it. 

Oddly,  together  they  said  their 
favorite  colors  are  red  and  blue.  But 
Lydia  also  likes  all  shades  of  yellow 
and  green,  and  Leslie  likes  burgandy. 
A  colorful  pair. 

Of  course,  they  have  often  switched 
roles  with  each  other,  and  find  that 
most  people  can't  tell  them  apart. 
StatesLydia,  "Mother  can't  tell  us 
apart,  but  the  rest  of  the  family  can." 
"Mom  gave  up  calling  us  by  name 
and  calls  us  twins,"  said  Leslie. 


THE  GENTS 


Russell  Craig  Gent  and  Gregory  Jay 
Gent  unfortunately  have  no 
distinguishing  marks  to  set  them 
apart.  It's  a  matter  of  guess  who! 

Both  are  5' 10"  tall,  weigh  145  lbs., 
have  hazel  eyes,  brown  hair,  and  wear 
the  same  size  shoes  and  clothes.  The 
Gents  get  a  kick  out  of  life  being  twins. 
Greg  said,  "It's  fun,"  and  Russell 
said,  "Hike  it  because  we  share. " 

And  share  they  do.  "Our 
enjoyment,  interests,  or  whatever  are 
the  same,"  Russell  observed.  "As 
far  as  girls  go,  though,  we  have 
different  tastes." 

TRBy^eeUiguaUneve^jWrig  they-— 
do.  But  Greg  used  to  play  the  piano  a 
few  years  back,,  whereas  Russell 
didn't. 
Like  the  other  sets  of  twins,  they  too 
[  are  often  "mistaken  for  each  other  all 
the  time.  "But  said  Russell,  "We 
don't  feel  at  all  insulted.  We  just  talk 
to  them  like  we  are  the  person  they 
think  we  are." 

These  two  are  definitely  more 
reserved  and  shy  than  the  other  sets  of 
twins.  Greg  and  Russell  feel 
themselves  that  they  are  more 
reserved,  less  outgoing,  and  that  it 
takes  a  while  to  get  to  know  people. 

The  Gents  were  born  May  29,  1958 
in  California.  Russell  was  bom  first 
and  is  five  to  seven  minutes  older  than 
Greg. 

Coming  from  Georgia-Cumberland 
Academy,  both  are  freshmen. 
Russell's  major  is  Biology  with 
dentistry  in  mind.  Greg's  majoring  in 
Nursing  and  is  also  thinking  about 
going  into  dentistry. 

They  have  lived  in  the  South  for  ten 
years  and  presently,  Dalton,  Ga.,  is 
their  hometown.  They  have  four 
brothers  and  one  sister.  Greg  and 
Russell,  like  the  Reynolds,  are  not  the 
first  set  of  twins  in  their  family 
ancestry.  There  were  twins  on  both 
their  mother's  and  father's  side  of  the 
family. 

Greg  and  Russell  love  all  types  of 
sports;  anything  that  is  exciting  and 
offers  challenges. 

Both  like  Mexican  food  best  but 
Russell  likes  to  snack  of  Chinese  food 
when  the  mood  strikes. 

The  two  are  serious  fehie  fons  when 
it  comes  to  color  preferences. 
They  don't  have  any  classes 
together  this  semester  so  their 
instructors  have  no  problem  getting 
mixed    up.  Greg  said,  "We  are  not 
able  to  confuse  our  parents.  When  we 
were  younger,  it  was  more  successful!

Left-handedness  has  really  be- 
come a  vivid  part  of  my  life  lately. 
I've  been  involved  in  several  dif- 
ferent discussions  on  this  subject 
in  my  recent  studies  her^. 

I've  discovered  that  by  age  two 
the  preference  is  shown,  and  dur- 


nght-handed  world.  And  if  you 
think  you  have  problems  at  mirror 
time,  for  a  lefty  it  is  either  a 
disaster  or  a  breeze,  don't  you 
see. 

Are  you  left-handed?  I'm  not 
but  I  sure  sympathize  with  my 
ing  the  next  three  years,  the  hand  left-handed  brother.  Being  left- 
preference  becomes  more  firmly  handed  for  a  day,  (to  me)  would 
established.  be  like  wearing  my  underwear 

Six  differences  are  small  but  backwards.  Or  like  having  to 
consistent.  There  is  a  greater  function  in  a  little  person's  world 
incidence  of  left-handedness  and  with  everything  in  proportion  to 
ambidexterity  in  boys.  The  dif-  his  preferences.  Or  having  to 
ference  may  be  due  somewhat  to  wear  my  shoes  on  the  wrong  feet, 
social  conditioning,  since  girls  I  mean  it  can  be  done,  but  what 
engage  in  more  hand  play  than  point.  "Right?" 
boys,  and  are  easier  to  train.  Because  people  are  rhostly 

Stuttering  and  left-handedness  right-handed,  they  have  similar 
have  long  been  thought  to  be  expressions,  such  as,  "well, 
that's  all  right'*,  "I  am  my  boss's 
right-hand  man",  "you're  not  in 
your  right  mind",  I  want  to  keep 
on  the  right  side  of  her",  "you 
tell  me  am  I  reading  into  this 
right?" 

The  Latin  words  for  right  or 
right-handed  is  doxter.  from 
which  we  get  our  word  dexterous 
'Ambi'  means  'both',  therefore 
ambidextrous  actually  claims 
that  a  person  has  two  "right" 
hands. 

On  the  other  hand  (or  should  I 
say  foot?),  another  interesting 
thing  I  found  (thanks  to  my  friend 
Russel  Cooper)  was  the  phrase 
'right-foo^  formost;  apparently  it 
is  considered  unlucky  to  enter  a 
house,  or  even  a  room,  on  the  left 


Left  dominance  has 
been  shown  to  occur  in  stufterers 
more  than  in  the  general  popula- 
tion. 

The  left-handed  person  incurs 
many  disadvantages  in  addition 
to  possible  speech  disturbance. 
In  a  world  designed  for  right- 
handed  people,  he  has  to  adjust  to 
scissors,  golf  clubs,  classroom 
chairs,  table  settings,  guitars  and 
controls.  This  could  really  give  a 
person  a  complex! 

There  are  also  preferences  in 
the  use  of  eyes  and  feet,  just  as 
there  are  for  hands. 

Unfortunately,  our  left-handed 
brothers  and  sisters  have  quite  a 
time  coping  and  dealing  with 
their  right-handed  world.     You 


hardly  ever  find  something  made     foct.  In  ancient  Rome  a  boy  stood 
unimanual  to  help  the  lefty  out.       at  the  door  of  a  wealthy 


The  mirror  isn't  really  made  for 
righties  or  lefties.  When  a  right- 
handed  person  tries  to  comb  his 
hair  he  is  often  all  turned  around 
with  the  symmetry  of  the  matter 


home  to  make  sure  that  the 
visitors  didn't  cross  the  threshold 
with  the  left  foot.  That  is  how 
extreme  people  are.  By  the  way, 
that's  where  we  get  the  word  foot 


marriage.  It's  one  in  which  a  man 
of  high  rank  marries  a  woman  of 
lower  station,  with  the  stipulation 
that  neither  she  nor  the  children 
have  any  claim  to  his  rank  or 
property.  In  the  ceremony,  the 
man  gives  his  left  hand  instead  of 
his  right.  What  do  you  think 
about  that  girls?  What  a  rip  off! 
Stay  with  me  giris.  You'll  just 
love  this  next  part. 

Going  back  into  history,  I  found 
"left  forepart",  which  means 
"wife".  It  has  probably  been 
derived  from  left  rib. 

The  word  left  is  derived  from 
the  old  English  'lyft',  meaning 
weak  and  useless.  Therefore  the 
word  describes,  well,  the  hand 
that  we  don't  use  so  much.  It's 
just  a  coincidence  that  the  left 
hand  is  on  the  left  side.. .if  you 
see  what  1  mean. 

Thus,  as  I  have  said  before,  as 
far  as  historical  record  takes  us, 
man  appears  to  have  always  been 
predominantly  right-handed.Look 
up  Judges  20:15-16  (and  that  was 
a  long  time  ago.  right?  No-left.) 

By  the  way,  my  faithful  column 
followers,  I  am  basically  right- 
handed.  1  do  all  my  fine  motor 
activities  with  my  right  hand, 
such  as  eat,  write,  and  sew.  Most 
of  my  gross  motor  skills,  such  as 
throwing,  and  most  sports  are 
done  with  my  left  hand.  Many 
times  when  I  attempt  a  new  sport 
I  have  to  try  both  hands  and  see 
which  one  I  am  better  with.  In 
many  cases,  more  often  than  not. 
1  can  use  either  hand  or  both. 

There  is  much  'left'  to  be  said, 
but  I'll  have  to  stop  myself  right 
here. 


SMs  Like 
Christmas  Too! 

We  have  a  real  privilege  to  support  and  encourage  our 
student  missionaries  serving  in  the  mission  field  this  year. 
Many  of  them  will  not  be  able  to  participate  in  our  Christmas 
season,  so  let's  plan  to  share  this  joyous  occasion  with 
someone  in  the  mission  field.  Put  them  on  your  Christmas 
card  list.  If  you  know  them  or  not,  drop  a  line  just  to  let  them 
know  that  we  are  praying  for  them.

A  Merry,  Merry  Christmas  To  Share 


DGary  Williams 

A  boy  wakes  up  and  jumps 
from  his  bed.  The  coldness  of  the 
room  isn't  noticed  by  him  as  he 
prevent  caviucs;     "i  '^-"^  .- —     f""'"  '*"  ■' 

hear  from  the  TV  commercials     dashes  to  his  window, 
that  is  so.  What  about  the  white-        Falling  snow  greets  his  eJ"; 
neR   and   brighteners    and   sex    The  outside  is  lie  a  fa-ryland  to 
appeal?   Qose  up  is  the  king  for     him  as  he  imagmes    he  tun  that 
wMte  teeth,  bright  smUes,  and     he  and  his  cousins  wiU  have  m  the 


lovers.  But  never  fear,  while 
Crest  is  near,  because  my  dears, 
you  can  have  white  teeth  through- 
out the  year.  My  test  is  simple. 
Dirty  mirrors  are  always  a  pain. 
They  make  my  face  look  sick  and 
rotten.  So  neit  time  you  brush 
your  teeth,  squirt  a  tiny  dab  of 
Crest  on  your  splattered  mirror 
and  wash  it  off  well.  It  puts 
Windex  to  shame,  and  the  shini- 
ness  and  clearness  is  amazing. 
Think  what  it  will  do  to  your 
teeth. 

Not  satisfied?  Anything  will 
dean  a  mirror,  huh?  Then  your 
grimy,  smudgy  glasses  must  be 
driving  you  crazy.  Try  a 

smidgeon  of  Crest  to  wash  them. 
They  come  clean  in  a  jifiy.  Think 
what  it  will  do  to  your  teeth. 

Okay,  okay,  so  you  still  aren't 
convinced.  Fiberglass  is  very 
easy  to  get  dirty  and  stained. 
In  fact,  it  is  virtually  impossible  to 
keep  clean.  The  girls  in  the 
Thatcher  Annex  are  blessed  with 
fiberglass  shower  compartments 
which  slay  filthy.  Now,  1  was 
brought  up  believdng  the  only 
cleaning  agent  was  Ajax.  My 
problem:  Ajax  can't  be  used  on 
fiberglass  showers.  So  (you 
guessed  it).  I  tried  Crest. 
Squeeze  out  a  little  bulge  of 
Crest,  smooth  it  around  the  bot- 
tom of  the  shower,  let  it  sit  for  a 
few  minutes  and  rinse  well  after  a 
vigorous  rub  down.  Men  try  it  on 
your  fiberglass  sports  equipment. 
Think  what  it  will  do  to  your 
teeth. 


snow,  so  fresh  and  innocent.  A 
thought  comes  to  him.  "It's 
Christmas."  He  races  to  the 
living  room  bubbling  with  hope. 


All  lies  in  silence.  He  is  the 
first  one  up,  and  as  he  bursts  into 
the  living  room,  his  hopes  fade 
into  his  deepest  fears.  There  is 
no  tree  of  shining  lights  and 
decorations,   no    stockings     line 


the  mantie  ot  the  cold  fireplace, 
no  presents  are  in  sight,  no  sweet 
smells  from  the  kitchen  fill  the 
air.  All  is  as  it  was  the  night 
before. 

.Standing  there  he  is  gripped  by 
a  mysterious  sadness,  tears  begin 
to  flow  down  his  cheeks,  and  he 
runs  to  the  window.  As  he 
presses  his  face  against  it,  he 
cries.  "Where  is  Santa?^  Why 
didn't  he  come  last  night?" 

Christmas  -  what  does  it 
mean?  I  am  sure  that  our  Christ- 
mas morning  will  be  very  dif- 
ferent from  our  story.  We  wUl  go 
to  bed  the  night  before  with  an 
anxious  joy  for  the  morning.  The 
last  sight  to  greet  our  eyes  will  be 


a  beautiful  tree  loaded  with  gifts. 
Seasonal  music  will  be  playing, 
and  maybe  snow  will  be  falling 
outside  out  window  as  we  go  to 
bed. 

Morning  will  bring  its  delights 
and  its  surprises*  There  will  be 
fun,  excitement,  food,  music,  and 
just  maybe  a  parade  and  a  foot- 
ball game  or  a  time  of  visiting 
friends  and  relatives.  1  am  sure 
that  some  of  these  will  find  their 
way  into  our  Christmas,  and  there 
is  nothing  wrong  in  enjoying 
these  precious  moments. 

We  will  have  much  to  be  thank- 
ful for.  We  will  have  much  to 
enjoy,  but  in  all  of  this,  our  story 
remains  as  it  is  for  the  boys  and 


girls  who  will  have  no  Christmas 
morning.  "Where  is  Santa?  Why 
didn'the  come  last  night?"  What 
can  we  do  to  help  answer  that  or 
to  help  prevent  it  for  some? 

Every  year  there  are  a  number 
of  families  who  choose  a  child  or 
children  and  help  make  their 
Christmas  morning  a  reality.  The 
local  welfare  agency  or  even  in 
your  local  church  their  names  can 
be  found.  Wouldn't  it  be  in  the 
spirit  of  the  season  for  us  to  make 
a  Christmas  come  true  for  such  a 
child?  It  only  costs  a  small 
amount,  but  it  takes  sharing  your- 
self. 

Think  about  it.  Have  a  Happy 
Christmasl  I

this  week,  and  the  final  outcome 
should  prove  interesting. 

Who  is  the  best  in  putt-putt? 
We  should  know  soon. 

At  the  end  of  12  holes,  Ron 
Barts  is  ahead  with  a  one  stroke 
lead  on  Kent  Campbell,  who  has 
yielded  a  38.  Tied  for  third  are 
Randy  Rumiells  and  Keith  Mos- 
ley  who  both  have  41  strokes. 

The  course  consists  of  hall- 
ways, ramps,  stairs,  and  going 
around  comers  into  someone'5 
room,  and  a  constant  stream  of 
golf  balls  rolling  towards  a  metal 
putting  cup.

All-American 
Volleyball 


Volleyball  was  originated  in  the 
United  States  in  1895  by  William 
G.  Morgan  while  he  was  physical 
ed  director  at 'the  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association  of  Holyoke, 
Mass.  Girls,  don't  take  offense, 
but  it  was  originally  designed  for 
businessmen  who  couldn't  keep 
up  with  the  rigors  of  the  game  of 
basketball.  It  soon  became  pop- 
ular in  schools,  playgrounds,  and 
other  organizations. 

The  rules  were  standardized 
and  unified  by  the  United  States 
Volleyball  Association  formed  in 
1928.  In  1957  it  was  accepted  as 
one  of  the  approved  sports  for 
Olympic  competition  and  was  in- 
cluded in  the  1964  games. 

The  court  is  60'  x  30'  divided  in 
half  (30  X  30)  by  a  net  8  feet  from 
the  ground.  Of  course,  there 
should  be  a  clear  area  of  20-30 
feet  above  the  court  to  permit  free 
movement  of  the  ball.  Each  team 


VENDING  MACHINES  cont  fifom  p.  3 


beat  for  a  six  month's  investment. 

A  similar  vending  program  has 
been  suggested  to  the  women's 
deans,  but  the  deans  didn't  think 
it  would  go  over  too  well  and  they 
didn't  want  to  invest  so  much 
money  in  an"ldea  they  weren't 
sure  of.  The  Men's  club  second 
proposal  was  that  they  will  put 
the  machines  in  the  women' s 
dorm  and  take  care  of  them.  If 
:  interested  in 


having  vending  machines,  said 
Kay,  they  should  contact  their 
deans  and  express  their  interest. 


As  for  future  expansion  in  the 
vending  machine  service,  due  to 
the  high  sales  of  milk,  the  club 
plans  on  buying  a  milk  machine. 
After  that  they  want  to  replace 
the  "Tom's  machine  with  a  health 
food  machine,  but  still  keep  some 
of  the  "Tom's"  products  in  it. 


NURSING  HOME  cont.  from  p.  3 


part  of  the  staff. 

According  to  Robinson,  the 
Center  plans  to  admit  from  four  to 
five  patients  a  day,  depending  on 
the  amount  of  care  needed  and 
the  rate  of  staff  build-up.  LPN's, 
orderlies,  and  nurse  aids  are 
needed  for  patient  health  and 
bodily  care  such  as  bathing  and 
feeding.  "We  probably  will  get 
some  help  in  this  area  from  the 
SMC  nursing  department,"  he 
said.

With  the  remaining  weeks  of

The  panicking  basketball

will  be  run  out  of  the  gym  by  a 
group  of  smashing,  swatting, 
slapping,  knuckle-hitters  who  will 
be  capitali/mg  on  that  great  game 
of  volleyball.  Burning  energy 
every  night  will  be  the  men  of

■Wc  arc  all  on  the  skids," 
President  Frank  Knillel  told  staff 
members  in  a.  recent  meeting. 
"Our  survival  is  threatened  by 
circumstances  and.  unless  we  all 
mcci  the  challenge  of  this  threat, 
we  will  all  go  under." 

Dr.  Knittel  was  referring  to  the 
survival  of  SDA  colleges  and  SMC 
in  particular.  "Some  of  our  smal- 
ler colleges  have  faced  and  are 
presently  facing  extinction.  But 
their  pinch  has  only  come  earlier 
than  ours,  and  ours  has  begun  " 
he  said. 

The  problem  SMC  faces  for  the 
present  is  that  of  underbudgeting 
for  the  77-78  year.  The  year 
before  SMC  faced  the  red  also. 

Richard  Reiner,  business  man- 
ager explained  the  problem. 
"When  planning  the  budget  we 
predicted  an  increase  in  head 
count  and  budgeted  an  increase 
in  tuition  dollars."  But  in  spite  of 
the  fall  enrollment  of  1905  stu- 
dents, he  said,  the  number  of 
hours  being  taken  was  the  same 
as  the  previous  year.  Plus  there 
were  more  dropouts  this  year. 
Therefore,  no  tuition  increase. 
The  gap  between  tuition  and  es- 
calating costs,  teacher  salaries, 
and  student  wages  is  unmet. 

To  meet  this  financial  dilemma, 
every  administrative  unit  of  the 
College  must  reduce  its  expense 
2'/!  per  cent  below  what  was 
budgeted  to  that  unit  this  year. 

This  year  almost  over,  Reiner  is 
now  already  preparing  the  budget 
for  the  78-79  fiscal  year,  which 


must  be  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  Feb.  16.  Reiner  esti- 
mates thai  the  tuition  increase 
will  be  "within  the  U.S.  general 
inflationary  rate  of  eight  per  cent 
or  less." 

Dr.  Knittel  said  (hat  in  past 
years  SMC's  tuition  increase  has 
been  more  than  the  U.S..  infla- 
tionary increase.  Over  the  last  five 
years  SMC's  tuition  has  increased 
by  90  per  cent,  while  there  has 
only  been  a  30  per  cent  inflation 
factor  in  the  American  economy. 
If  SMC  kept  up  its  soaring  iln-

for  a  full-lime  student. 

"I  want  us  all  to  know  that 
there  is  absolutely  no  way  that 
our  SDA  home  will  possibly  con- 
sider that  type  of  expenditure  for 
a  college  education,"  he  stated. 
"SMC  needs  to  put  the  brakes  on 

Reiner  commented  that  while 
SMC  will  raise  its  rates  eight  per 
cent  this  next  year,  most  other 
Adventist  colleges  are  increasing 
their  rates  by  ten  to  eleven  per 
cent.  Only  two  colleges  remain 
less  expensive  than  SMC  -  Oak- 
wood  and  Southwestern  Adven- 
tist. 

Reiner  listed  three  factors  that 
he  attributes  to  next  year's  in- 
creased rates: 

1.  Effective  July  1,  faculty 
wages  will  increase  by  6'/i  per 

2.  Effective  this  January.  Con- 
gress has  moved  the  minimum 
wage  up  15  per  cent  to  $2.65  an 
hour.  Instead  of  S2. 10,  regular 
student  workers  will  now  receive 
$2.26. 

3.  Increases  in  energy  costs. 

As  it  is  now,  Reiner  commented 
that  the  78-79  budget  "looks  like 
a  dry  bone.  We  are  doing  every- 
thing we  can  to  cut  down." 

But  what  about  the  future  of 
SMC?

has  kept  us  afloat  at  SMC  till  now

Dr.  Knittel.  "That  has  now  come 
to  an  end,  and  we  have  entered 
upon  a  totally  new  survival  era."

out  of  the  Adventist  higher  edu-

to  drop?  Ves.  said  Neal  C. 
Wilson,  chairman  of  the  GC 
Board  of  Higher  Education  in  a 
letter  to  all  college  presidents  and 
finance  officers. 

"For  the  last  decade  and  a 
half,"  he  wrote,  "we  have  been

Renovations  Planned  To  Expand

DPam  Legere 

SMC  IS  now  working  on  a  pro- 
gram to  make  the  campus  more 
accessible  to  handicapped  stu- 
dents and  faculty  members. 

A  committee  chaired  by  Dean 
Betty  Howard  and  five  other  ad 
ministrators  has  organized  foi 
this  purpose  They  call  them 
selves  the  "Compliance  Com 
mittee  for  Government  Regul; 
tion504." 

HEW's  Regulation  504  states 
that  all  qualified  handicapped 
persons  must  be  facilitated. 

Howard  went  to  Louisville. 
Ky.,  last  month  to  attend  a  handi- 
capped workshop.  She  brought 
back  information  about  re- 
modeling and  revamping  the 
campus  grounds.  There  should 
be  reserved  parking  spaces,  bath- 
rooms with  guard  rails,  wider 
doors,  ramps  and  curb  cuts,  all 
with  appropriate  signs. 

Presently.  Maize  Herin  Hall  is 
the  only  building  which  compl; 


tention  are  Thatcher  and  Talge 
Halls,  McKee  Library,  Lynn 
Wood  Hall.  Daniells  Hall,  and 
Leford  Hall.  The  estimated  cost 
for  modifications  is  $10,000.  The 
remodeling  will  take  approxi- 
mately three  years. 

Howard  is  also  working  on  a 
new  physical  form.  It  will  ask  for 
voluntary  information  as  to 
whether  or  not  the  student  is 
handicapped.  This  will  help  the 
College  to  better  determine 
whether  it  can  accommodate  the 
student's  particular  handicap. 

The  five  types  of  handicaps  that 
SMC  will  be  able  to  handle  are 
those  in  wheelchairs,  the  blind, 
the  deaf,  the  emotionally  and 
mentally  handicapped,  and  per- 
sons with  learning  disabilities. 

Howard  said,  "We  want  to 
serve  the  handicapped  in  all 
ways,  not  just  minimally.  Our 
goal  is  that  they  become  part  of 
student  life  as  much  as  they 
possibly  can." 

SMC    has    accepted    handi- 


capped students  even  before  Reg- 
ulation 504  was  passed.  A  few 
years  ago,  two  quadraplegics 
graduated  with  honors  and  were 
also  the  leaders  of  their  class. 

Presently.  Ron  Holland,  a 
freshman  theology  major,  a  quad- 
raplegic,  is  attending  classes.

Collegiate  Fatties 
Facing  Suspension 


Old  New  York  Times 
TULSA,  Okla.  -  The  kids  in  the 
second-floor  lower  dormiton-  are 
going  to  miss  Sharon  Baxter. 

A  student  leader  with  a  3.4 
grade  average,  she  nevertheless 
could  not  measure  up  to  the 
standards  of  Oral  Roberts  Uni- 
versity-. She  was  suspended  for 
being  too  fat. 

No  fatties  are  allowed  at  Oral 
Roberts  University.  In  fact, 
thunder  thighs  and  spare  tires  are 
so  frowned  upon  at  the  religious 
school   that   students   are   pres 


sured  to  lose  the  excess  weight  or 
else  face  possible  academic  pro- 
bation and  suspension, 

Sharon  Baxter  (not  her  real 
name)  is  one  of  a  half-dozen 
people  who  recently  jomed  with 
the  Oklahoma  Coalition  of  Citi- 
zens with  Disabilities  to  request 
that  the  Department  of  Health, 
Education  and  Welfare  review  the 
university's  status.  The  ground 
contends  the  school's  policies  on 
overweight  and  handicapped  stu- 
dents are  discriminatory. 

The   Christ-centered    "i 


ity  for  the  education  of  the  whole 
man,"  was  founded  in  1965  by 
the  e/angelist  Oral  Roberts, 
While  aerobics  and  physical  fit- 
ness have  always  been  a  hallmark 
of  the  university's  commitment 
"to  develop  the  mind,  body  and 
spirit,"  the  weight  reduction  pro- 
gram, which  penalizes  those  who 
fail  with  suspension,  has  begun 
only  two  years  ago, 

Paul  Brynteson,  chairman  of 
the  health,  physical  education 
and  recreation  department,  ex- 
plained that  each  student  is  given 
an  annual  physical  that  includes 
tests  to  measure  blood  fat, 
Brynteson  said  an  acceptable 
body  fat  level  is  20  percent  for 
women  and  15  percent  for  men, 
A  woman  having  more  than  35 
percent  body  fat,  or  a  man  having 
more  than  25  percent,  is  consid- 
ered obese. 

These  students  are  automat- 
ically placed  on  a  weight-reduc- 
tion program.  They  meet  with 
school  doctors  and  sign  a  contract 
to  lose  a  pound  or  two  a  week 
until  they  reach  their  goal.  If  a 
student  fails  to  lose  the  weight, 
he  or  she  faces  probation  and, 
eventually,  suspension. 

Since  the  program  began,  four 
students  have  been  suspended  for 
failing  to  reduce.

tional  finance." 

Wilson  suggests  that  since 
most  of  our  church  membership  is 
concentrated  in  urban  areas 
where  access  to  community  col- 
leges is  convenient,  our  Adventist 
educational  costs  are  making 
these  "Stay  at  home"  opportuni- 
ties more  attractive.  He  fears 
that  unless  colleges  take  dramatic 
actions,  this  trend  toward  an  in- 
creasing use  of  public  institutions 
may  be  impossible  to  reverse. 

"Unless  we  begin  immediately 
to  plan  and  act  for  long-range 
survival  we  will  soon  be  forced 
into  crisis-budgeting,  a  traumatic 
ordeal  for  any  situation,  conti- 
nued Wilson. 

At  the  recent  Annual  Council,  it 
was  voted  to  approve  the  report 
"Funding  Higher  Education  in 
North  America"  which  asks  col- 
leges to  develop  endowments  for 
student  scholarships  and  grants, 
to  exercise  strictest  economy  iii 
planning  for  capital  expansion, 
and  that  the  overhead  costs  of 
administration  and  services  be 
studied. 

SMC  will  be  following  these 
guidelines,  according  to  Dr.  Knit- 
tel.  An  endowment  fund  has 
already  been  established.  Large 
gifts  in  excess  of  $200,000  from

There  are  other  colleges  of 
similar  sizes  and  natures  in  other 
denominations  providing  quality

problems  successfully.  These  col-

"We  don't  know  how  they  do 
It,  '  said  Wilson,  "But  we  expect 
the  task  force  on  efficiency  which 
the  Board  of  Higher  Education 


has  set  up.  to  find  out."  Dr. 
Knittel  is  a  member  of  this  task 
force. 

"This  is  not  a  time  of  wailing  " 
concluded  Dr.  Knittel  in  his  pre- 
sentaHon  to  the  staff  members, 
"but  in  the  days  to  come,  there 
will  be  some  rather  dramatic 
changes  taking  place  on  this  cam- 
pus effecting  every  one  of  us." 

Dr.  Knittel  will  talk  to  the 
students  about  this  subject  in 
chapel,  Jan.  2f..  (He  will  also 
discuss  the  H.inds  Of  God  sculp- 
ture at  this  time.) 


Also,  when  the  current  contract 
with  the  telephone  company  runs 
out,  all  the  college-controlled 
dormitory  phones  may  be  elimi- 
nated, saving  thousands  of  dol- 
lars. Students  who  want  a  room 
phone  could  arrange  directly  with 
the  telephone  company. 

The  lyceum,  fine-art  series 
could  be  another  cutback  area. 
If  students  want  to  hear  the  big 
names,  suggested  Dr.  Knittel, 
perhaps  they  should  do  this  on 
their  own  and  not  force  tuition

Pac 


Your  ••Editorial"  in  the  Christ- 
mas edition  of  The  Southern 
Accent  left  itself  in  the  need  of 
much!! 

For  starters,  we  all  know  that 
the  onlv  reason  we  students  are 
here  is  to  glean  what  knowledge 
we  can  from  our  learned  teachers. 
Your  statement  '•we  are  here  to 
gel  smart,  the  faculty  are  not," 
couldn't  have  been  better  said. 

However,  let  us  consider  for 
starters;  since  when  have  chapels 
been  designed  primarily  as  semi- 
nars or  such  so  that  we  are  able  to 
learn  things  of  substantial  im- 
portance which  would  add  to  our 
knowledge?  I  hope  you  don't 
oass  out  when  you  finally  realize 


that  chapels  exist  for  a  "spintual 
experience."  If  that  blows  some 
circuits,  you  can  get  your  8080 
chip  replaced  for  a  few  shekels. 

To  force  some  to  attend  chapels 
and  not  others  is  in  effect  saying 
that  those  who  are  attending  are 
in  more  of  a  need  (spiritually) 
than  those  that  are  exempti!  I  But 
then,  who  here  has  the  power  to 
decide  who  needs  Christ  more 
than  anyone  else??!  Is  that  not 
more  of  a  personal  decision? 

By  the  way.  your  attack  on  Ray 
Hartwell's  letter  more  than 
proved  that  "the  truth  hnrtsi"

Dear  Editor; 

1  was  happy  that  our  fellow 
Christians  from  the  Areopagus 
(Salt)  could  be  fellowshippiog  on 
our  campus  this  past  Sunday.  As 
1  visited  with  them  I  knew  you 
students  impressed  them  favor- 
ably and  that  our  campus  at- 
mosphere was  a  witness  to  them. 
I  want  to  apologize  though  for 
subjecting  all  cafeteria  clientele 
to  their  performance.  Plans  were 
for  them  to  play  in  the  banquet 
r6om  so  those  who  wtshed  to 
listen  couid  do  so. 

As  it  was.  1  felt  badly  that  your 
rights  were  encroached  upon. 
Thank  you  for  being  so  kind  and 
forgiving.

Dear  Editor; 

1  was  sorely  disgusted  to  find 
that  some  demented  thrill-seeker 
"maced"  the  piano  in  the  cube 
room.  It  happened  to  be  a  painful 
and  uncomfortable  experience  for 
those  who  got  near  the  piano. 
Must  this  childish  display  of  intel- 
ligence (or  lack  of  it)  be  present  at 
an  institution  of  higher  learning? 
1  know  this  is  making  someone 
laugh  to  think  his  prank  was 
successful.  Yes  it  was.  And  it 
also  mined  a  night  of  badly  need- 
ed rehearsal  for  God's  Love  Song. 
1  plead  with  whoever  did  it  to 
grow  up.  Next  time,  please  ask 
yourself  just  how  practical  that 
joke  really  is.

Dear  Editor: 

I  believe  the  thing  that,  in  this 
worid  of  ours,  disturbs  me  the 
most  is  the  great  quantities  of 
complainers.  The  specific  com- 
plainers  1  would  like  to  complain 
about  in  this  letter  are  the  Chapel 
Choppers. 

Like  most  things,  the  true  value 
of  something  is  rarely  realized 
until  that  something  is  taken 
away.  Last  semester,  1  was  ban- 
ned from  our  bi-weekly  student 
assemblies  by  one  of  my  classes, 
which  takes  place  at  the  same 
time. 

So,  except  for  the  Week  of 
Prayer,  1  haven't  been  to  chapels 
this  year.  Result?  1  have  been 
one  of  the  most  uninformed,  un- 
acquainted people  on  campus. 
What  has  been  common  know- 
ledge for  everyone  else  has  for  me 
been  surprising  news  -  like  the 


date  of  Ingathering,  for  one  major 
example.  And,  how  many  of  you 
complainers  have  ever  counted 
the  number  of  friends  you  have 
time  to  see  and  talk  to  twice 
weekly?  How  many  of  you  have 
begun  or  helped  a  romance  to 
flourish  by  a  carefully-planned 
route  to  the  church? 

Yes.  I  supposed  that  some  have 
been  a  waste  of  time,  but  by  far 
not  the  majority.  I  only  wish  1 
could  exchange  places  with  one  of 
the  complainers  as  they  sit  re- 
laxed, listening  to  an  informative 
lecture,  taking  no  notes,  required 
to  do  no  homework  for  the  period, 
and  within  sight  of  their  friends. 

Ah  well. 

Sincerely, 
Kay  Campbell 


Dear  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  express  my 
appreciation  for  the  fine  column 
that  Michael  Bryant  writes.  His 
words  add  some  humor  and  life  to

TTie  Souttiem  Accent  is  published  weekly  with  the  reception  of  teet  weeks  and 


How  can  the  administration 
claim  the  right  to  expect  our 
attendance  at  church  bright  and 
eariy  Sabbath  morning?  As  legal 
adults  we  expect  the  right  to 
choose  where  we  will  or  will  not 
The  administration  could  no 
doubt  cite  many  reasons  for  their 
but  The  Accent  is  the  voice 
of  the  student,  so  here  are  some 
a  student  sees  them; 
an  extension  of  the 

iedncational  process. 
This  might  sound!  little  hereti- 
cal at  first;  the  Sabbath  is  to  be  a 
rest  from  our  everday  tasks,  not 
extension!  But  life  is  a  con- 
tinuing education,  and  by  attend- 
ing church  we  hear  not  only  how 
to  live  better,  but  observe  first 
hand  how  an  orderly  worship  ser- 
can  be  structured,  where  it 
and  should  be  improved. 
Someday  we  will  have  the  say  in 


how  we  worship  our  God  when  we 
meet  together,  and  we'd  better 
have  some  ideas. 

2.  It  makes  the  Individual  part 
of  a  larger  commanity. 

Church  is  one  of  the  rare  ex- 
periences that  we  all  have  in 
common.  We  aU  receive  the  same 
stimulus  (sermon),  but  listen  to 
the  different  reactions!  Take  the 
time  to  find  out  your  neighbor's 
reaction  and  view;  it's  a  real 
study  in  individuality  J 

3.  To  foster  personal  responsi- 
bility. 

Many  times  in  life  we  are  asked 
to  do  things  we  really  don't  want 
to  do  and  may  not  even  see  the 
need  of  doing.  But  sometimes  a 
lot  depends  oti  whether  or  not  our 
sense  of  responsibility  overrules 
our  feelings.  Church  attendance 
is  one  of  those  few  things  we're 
,  asked  to  do  (there  are  several 


don'ts)  which  we  won't  always 
feel  like  fulfilling.  But  if  we  do, 
we  can  chalk  one  up  for  the 
responsible  side  of  our  person 
alities. 

4.  It's  a  statement  of  school 
ideals. 

By  requiring  church  attendance 
the  administration  states  that  it 
wants  to  impart  the  above  bene- 
fits. When  students  are  choosing 
the  school  which  will  benefit  them 
the  most,  they  can  look  at  the 
policies  and  decide  whether  they 
want  to  live  with  those  standards 
or  not.  Standards  do  vary  even  in 
Adventist  schools.  Church  at- 
tendance is  not  so  unflexible  that 
you  can  never  spend  church  time 
outdoors  in  some  other  activi^. 
but  the  standard  is  set.  And  the 
choice  is  up  to  you.

Con  Requirement 


By  the  time  I  get  to  college,  I'd 
like  to  imagine  that  I've  been 
trained  to  think  for  myself.  I 
could  almost  envision  myself  as 
adult,  maybe  a  semi-adult. 
Naturally  I  expect  to  have  to 
follow  some  rules,  do's  'and  do 
nots.  The  Christian  standard  has 
to  be  maintained  in  the  broad 
areas  of  dress,  behaviour,  etc. 

But  I  stumble  at  the  rule  that  I 
must  attend  church  on  Sabbath 
(with  warning  letters  sent  it  I 
don't).  Here  I  am  out  of  the 
rigid-ruled  academy  life,  old 
ugh  to  attend  college,  old 
'Ugh  to  make  my  own  decisions 
nor  once.    As  if  monitored  by  a 


giant  radar,  I  am  to  be  kept  track 
of  on  Sabbath. 

I  understand  that  the  Sabbath 
is  a  basic  doctrine.  It  might  look 
bad  if  some  students  didn't  at- 
tend. But  what  would  happen  if 
the  rule  were  abandoned?  Would 
the  students,  having  been  re- 
quired to  go  to  church  all  their 
school  days,  go  hogwild  and  no 
one  show  up?  Would  they  take 
their  freedom  and  stampede? 

IMhink  so.  I  would  happily 
exercise  my  personal  and  moral 
freedom  and  still  go  to  church. 
And  I  think  most  intelligent  and 
thinking  students  would  naturally 


do  the  same. 

For  those  who  fear  that  some 
would  go  astray  when  on  thei 
own,    what  better   environroem 
than  SMC  to  come  to  grips  «""

Letter  From  Fadder 


Xhis  is  a  letter  that  was  re- 
ceived by  an  SMC  student  this 
year  -  from  a  real  father.     The 
names    and    places    have    been 
I  changed. 

I  Dear  Debby: 

This  is  your  "fadder"  writing 
I  you,  are  you  there?  and  if  not, 
I  why  not? 

Debby.  your  "fadder"  misses 
I  your  smiling  face,  but  I'm  happy 
I  that  your  smiling  face  is  happly 
I  smiling  while  you'st  gets  your 
I  education. 

Debby,  don'ts  ya  all  forgets 
I  that  your  pa  loves  you  even  more 
I  than  a  big  bowel  of  dem  grits  and 
f  other  un-mentionables. 

Debby,  we  missed  you  when  we 
went  to  the  fair.  We  took  Bill's 
wife  (she's  from  St.  Lucia  Island) 
and  had  fun  watching  her  eyes 
!  out  at  seeing  so  much  new 
'  stuff.  Bill  and  his  wife  have  been 
staying  with  us  for  the  last  two 
weeks.  We  are  at  CUC  today,  and 


we  just  returned  the  Smiths  to 
their  home,  and  brought  your 
brother  to  school.  Maybe  mothe 
hr.i  "'r'™*-  The  Smiths 
had  two  „,ld  kids,  ages  two  and

Debby,  ya  all  should  broaden 
your  male  acquamtances.  Mark 
IS  a  fine  chap,  but  your  pa's 
advice  is  "don't  pin  your  tail  on 
one  donkey."  NO,  NO,  I  mean 
spread  yourself  out  and'  give  all 
the  boys  a  treat.  I  guess  what  I 
really  mean  is  that  you  should  not 
tie  yourself  down  to  one  male 
friend.  Maybe  you  are  not  doing 
that,  but  maybe  you  are,  anyway 
you  know  what  I  mean,  because 
you  always  know  what  your  pa 
means. 
Must  go  and    increase   my 

calorie  count  for  the  day  -  Debby, 

we  love  you,  stay  away  from  that 

"Georgia  ice  cream". 

Love,  Dad

'25  Alumnus  Examines  The  Hands 


In  the  Nov.  3  issue  of  The 
iDthem  Accent  there  appeared  a 
I'report  with  an  accompanying  il- 
lustration of  a  "Praying  Hands 
Sculpture,"  which  is  to  be  erected 
on  the  campus  in  early  1978.  I 
called  Jerry  Dick  Lien,  author  of 
the  report,  to  ask  the  basis  for  the 
interpretation  of  the  statue  as 
iiven  in  the  report.  The  interpre- 
ilion  was  first  published,  he 
»i,  in  the  Accent  dated  March 
•'•  1976,  and  was  derived  from  a 
paper  written  by  Charles 
™miiig,  Jr.  1  then  called  on  Mr. 
fleming  to  inquire  about  such  a 
paper,  and  he  kindly  gave  me  a

arrive  at  when  he  makes  a  judg- 
ment based  on  partial  or  inaccur- 
ate evidence  or  when  he  does  not 
apprehend  the  evidence  correctly. 
For  instance,  based  on  the  Nov. 
3  Accent  article,  which  identified 
the  hands  of  the  statue  as  those  of 
God  and  the  title  of  the  casting  as 
"Praying  Hands,"  I  was  ready  to 
pronounce  the  art  theologically 
unsound.  How,  1  reasoned,  could 
the  hands  of  God  the  Father  be 
represented  as  praying  hands? 
And  if  the  hands  were  those  of 
God  the  Father,  what  relationship 
to  the  bleeding  heart  (manifestly 
the  heart  of  Christ)  was  intended? 
Even  after  injecting  a  "protec- 
tion" significance  into  the  hands, 
I  could  not  extract  a  theologically 
sound  meaning  from  the  relation- 
ship -  for  God  the  Father  did  not 
protect  His  Son  from  sacrificing 
His  life's  blood  for  man's  re- 
demption. I  was  ready,  therefore, 
(before  reading  Mr.  Fleming's 
article  and  talking  with  him  about 
the  statue)  to  pronounce  this  work 
theologically  unsound. 

But  even  after  reading  Mr. 
Fleming's  paper  and  learning 
that  he  applied  the  title  "The 
Hands  of  God"  to  Christ,  I  was 
still  unsure.  How  was  he  certain 
the  artist  had  intended  "God"  to 
be  interpreted  "Chirst"?  The 
answer  was  in  a  detail  that  was 
not  discernible  in  the  small  pic- 
ture printed  in  the  Accent  - 
nailprints  in  the  hands  were 
easily  to  be  seen  in  the  original 
and  in  the  color  slide  reproduc- 
tions Mr.  Fleming  had  seen.  This 
small  detail  changed  my  whole 
conception  of  the  statue.  I  then 
saw  that  the  hands  and  the  heart 
were  both  those  of  Christ. 

Throughout  my  search  for  a 
valid  interpretation  for  this  sta- 


tue, I  had  been  guided  by  a 
principle  of  interpretation  which 
must  be  applied  whenever  one 
considers  the  meaning  of  any 
work  of  art  "  be  it  direct   or 


"I  then  saw  that  the 
hands  and  the  heart 
were  both  those 
of  Christ." 


indirect  sculpture,  painting, 
music,  architecture,  or  literature 
--  namely,  that  we  view  the  wort 
as  a  whole:  we  must  not  segre- 
gate the  parts,  assigning  to  a  part 
an  interpretation  that  is  at 
ance  with  the  interpretation  ol 
another  part  or  of  the  whole, 
The  work  must  have  a  unified  i] 
terpretation  of  another  part  or  i 
the  whole.  The  work  must  have  a 
unifed  interpretation  that  must 
be  logically  and  (for  me)  theologi- 
cally valid. 

Having  now  apprehended 
hands  and  heart  both  to  belong  to 
Christ,  I  began  to  see  what  before 
had  not  been  clear:  Contreras 
evidently  had  deliberately  chosen 
the  two  units  of  anatomy  (hands 
and  heart)  to  represent  the  whole 
of  Christ  and  to  epitomize  there- 
with the  two  aspects  of  the  life  of 
Christ  most  important  to  us.  And 
if  we  seek  a  relationship  between 
the  two,  the  key  is  found  in  the 
praying  attitude  of  the  hands. 
The  artist,  no  doubt,  posed  the 
hands  in  the  traditional  attitude  of 
prayer  or  worship  [Durer,  1471- 
19581  to  indicate  that  this  attitude 
was  central  to  the  exemplary  life 
Chirst  lived  and  became  the  ma- 


trix in  which  was  formed  and  from 
which  there  emerged  the  re- 
deeming sacrifice  of  His  heart's 
blood). 

Thus  I  saw  the  statue  as  a 
composite  representation  of 
Christ,  each  of  the  two  represen- 
tations being  a  visual  synecdoche 
"  the  part  standing  for  the  whole. 
The  juxtaposition  of  the  two 
parts,  I  perceived,  had  no  particu- 
lar meaning,  however  aestheti- 
cally satisfying  or  artistically  cle- 
ver the  positioning  might  be. 

For  me,  then,  hands  and  bleeo- 
ing  heart  symbolize  the  two  prin- 
cipal aspects  of  Christ's  ministry 
for  us;  the  hands  symbolizing  the 
exemplary  life  he  lived  for  us  as  a 
human  bein^;  +he  praying  atti- 
tude of  the  hands  signifying  the 
dependence  on  His  Father  which 
characterized  His  life  and  gave 
His  actions  their  meaning;  and 
the  heart  symbolizing  ttie  divine 
redeeming  sacrifice  He  made  for 
us  by  shedding  His  blood.  As  a 
human  being  he  lived  and  worked 
in  the  presence  of  His  Father,  and 
He  prayed  to  His  Father  for 
strength;  as  a  divine  Being  he 
shed  his  blood  for  our  redemp- 


expiatory)  for  others. 
It  is  in  this  area,  however,  that 

caution  must  be  exercised  that  we 
do  not  attach  meanings  (however 
theologically  correct  and  devo- 
tionally  meaningful  they  may  be) 
that  do  not  logically  and  theologi- 
cally connect  hands  and  heart  as 
shown  in  the  casting.  However 
beautiful  the  thought  of  my  life 
)ii(t  within  His  protecting  hands, 
this  thought  does  not  emerge  as  a 
logically  valid  interpretation  of 
this  piece  of  art.  That  thought 
needs  another  work  of  art--  hands 
not  in  the  universally  recognized 
worshipful  attitude,  but  in  a  pro- 
tective attitude  and  the  heart 
without  its  drop  of  blood,  for  the 
human  heart  can  never  expiate 
for  its  own  or  other's  sins.  As  one 


Of  course,  tangential  meanings 
may  be  attached  to  either  hands 
or  heart.  For  instance,  I  may  find 
these  lessons  in  parallel  in  the 
hands:  As  Jesus  exemplary  life 
was  dependent  on  communication 
with  His  Father  through  prayer, 
so  my  life,  to  be  triumphant  as 
was  His,  must  also  be  centered  in 
prayer.  And  in  the  heart:  As 
Jesus  gave  His  life's  blood  for  my 
sins  and  the  sins  of  the  whole 
worid,  so  I  must  give  my  life  in 
service  and  sacrifice  (in  no  sense 


"However  beautiful  the 
thought  of  my  life  hid 
within  His  protecting 
hands,  this  thought 
does  not  emerge  as  a 
logically  valid 
interpretation  of  this 
piece  of  art." 

meditates,  thoughts  of  this  sort 
may,  indeed,  come  to  him,  but  he 
should  recognize  them  as  not 
belonging  to  the  interpretation  of 
this  statue  as  the  artist  has 
chosen  to  portray  it.

lew  semester,  a 
A'hat  more  could 
m  reminded  of 
nee  said  to 


A  new  year  .  a 
new  beginning - 
we  ask  for?  I 
what  Emerson 
friend,  Thoreau 

"Would  you  be  a  writer?  There 
is  no  need  to  travel  abroad,  dig- 
ging among  ruins  of  the  Old 
Worid  for  something  to  say.  All 
the  world  lies  within  you.  Record 
your  own  spontaneous  thoughts 
and  you  will  record  that  which 
men  everywhere  find  true  for 
them  also.  A  wholly  truthful 
report  of  your  own  life  will  be  true 
of  all  lives.  Look  in  your  heart 
and  write." 

We  have  two  possibilities  be- 
fore us:  l)we  can  be  the  writer  of 
our  tomorrow  or  2)we  can  be  the 
archaeologist  of  our  yesterday. 
Archaeologists  dig  into  ancient 
ruins  to  discover  the  secrets  of 
yesterday.  Too  many  times  we 
have  tended  to  be  expert  diggers 
and  not  such  keen  writers  and 
builders. 

Exploring  the  ruins  is  not 
wrong.  Our  experiences  of  yes- 
terday become  the  foundation  of 
our  today.  It's  when  we  settle 
down  and  begin  to  live  among  the 
ruins  of  passed  experiences  and 
activities  that  they  become 
wrong. 

What  materials  are  you  using 
in  building  today?  Old  materials 
were  fine  for  yesterday,  and  the 
ruins  prove  their  durability.  But 
what  of  today?  Are  we  using  the 
knowledge  gained  from  the  ruins 
to  build  or  are  we  content  with 
what  we  have  learned?  Know- 
ledge is  only  good  if  put  to  practi- 
cal use. 

Building  projects  line  our  hori- 
zon each  morning.  It's  a  chal- 
lenge to  live  the  life  of  a  builder; 
builders,  if  they  build  well,  leave 
the  archaeologists  plenty  of  work 
to  do. 

What  kind  of  structure  can  be 
buiit  this  new  year?  The  answer 
can  be  found,  as  Emerson  said,  in 
you.  Your  experiences  and  activi- 
ties make-up  your  building  which 
is  totally  different  from  any  other, 
yet  others  find  traces  of  them- 
selves "  "A  wholly  truthful  report

Why  not  tap  youi 
put  your  effort  into  erecting  a

guidance  for  those  archaeologists

■  r.nr  part  but  ^r,  r\\(i  (hg  pyramids. 
And  'housanc  of  -'ears  and  winds

the  quantity  of  materials  that 
makes  a  building  a  structure  of 
endurance,  it  is  the  quality  of 
materials  and  quahty  will  endure 
for  ages  to  come. 

A  new  year .  a  new  semester,  a 
new  beginning.  What  will  you 
build?  The  answer  will  be  seen  in 
eternity. 


Once  upon  a  time,  not  so  long 
ago,  there  lived  in  the  mountains 
of  Tennessee  at  Southern  Mis- 
sionary College,  some  college  stu- 
dents. Now  these  weren't  just 
your  average  run-of-the-mill  stu- 
dents; these  students  were 
special. 

Anyway,  all  the  students  went 
to  the  same  school.  The  fair 
maidcnswere  housed  on  one  side 
of  campus  and  noblemen(counts, 
dukes,  squires,  and  pages)  on  the 
other. 

There  were  considerably  more 
maidens  on  campus  than  noble- 
men, which  was  the  way  it  always 
seemed  to  be.  and  as  a  result  the 
Female  Castle  was  much  bigger. 
It  was  dubbed  Thatcher. 

Though  there  weren't  as  many 
noblemen  in  Talge  Castle,  it  was 
ev<.ry  bit  as  crowded.  All  the 
counts,  no  counts,  and  dis  counts, 
were  gathered  around  the  square 
tables  in  the  castle  lobby,  playing 
Risk  and  eating  their  curds  and 
whey(consisting  of  M&M's. 
chips,  cookies,  sandwiches,  and 
miscellaneous  beverages  from 
their  vending  machines). 

Now  that  we  have  the  stage  set, 

allow  me  to  get  on  with  the  plot. 

Since    there    weren't    enough 

noblemen  to  go  around,  some  of 

the  damsels  would  have  given  a 


kings  ransom  (better  know  as 
their  student  ID  cards)  to  get 
asked  out  on  a  date. 

Oh  sure,  you'd  see  some 
knights  going  over  to  Thatcher 
Castle  to  retreave  their  fair  dam- 
sel dates,  and  I'm  well  aware  that 
if  there  hadbeen  a  moat  around 
Thatcher,  it  would  have  been 
filled  with  passioners  and  pas- 
sionetts.  But  what  about  that 
Repunsal  up  on  the  third  floor  in 
the  back  (nowhere  near  an  escit 
door)  who  couldn't  even  pry  a 
window  open  to  let  her  long  hair 
down? 

Well,  it  looked  like  quite  a 
problem,  and  there  seemed  like 
little  hope  of  rescue  from  this 
uneven  number  problem.  There 
were  no  Super  Heros  to  mend  the 
predicament,  though  sometimes 
the  guards  (deans)  were  looked  to 
to  fill  this  role. 

The  maidens  who  stayed 
crowded  and  glued  to  the  win- 
dows directly  above  the  Thatcher 
draw  bridge,  watched  the  com- 
ings and  goings,  to  see  who  was 
with  who.  and  who  had  to  walk  to 
and  from  classes  alone.  They 
wondered  how  long  they'd  have 
to  stay  there  because  there  was 
nothing  better  to  do  but  study. 

And  then  one  day  a  strange 
thing  started  happening.    There

were  cakes,  pies,  cookies,  candy, 
notes,  and  cards.  When  the 
Noblemen  went  to  their  mail- 
boxes, they  found  notes  saying, 
"Pick  up  your  packages  at  front 
desk  of  Talge."  With  the  goodies 
came  nice  greetings  and  similar 
explanations  for  this  new  happen- 
ing on  campus.  They  all  read 
something  like  .... 
Dear  John, 

You  might  not  know  me,  but  I 
am  your  new  secret  sis.  In  case 
you're  wondering  what  this  is  all 
about,  let  me  explain  it  to  you. 

You  see  it's  like  this:  Some  of 
the  girls  got  together  here  in  our 
castle  and  drew  names  from  a  hat 
for  some  secret  brothers.  When 
asked  if  I  would  participate,  I 
answered,  "gladly,"  and  so  I  got 
busy  and  made  you  these  two  rice 
crispy  squares.  I  hope  you  like 
marshmellows. 

I'm  glad  you  are  my  secret 
brother.  I  hope  to  hear  from  you 
soon.  Here's  how  to  respond: 
Send  your  response  to  'The  Secret 
Sister  of  John  Doe,'  and  put  it  in 
one  of  the  boxes  provided  either 
in  your  castle  or  ours.  Signed, 
"Your  Secret  Sis." 

The  response  to  this  had  a  wide 
rahge  -  everything  from  a  cool 
detachment  to  a  passionate 
search.  But  a  least  now  the 
maidens  were  happier  and  the 
noblemen  rose  to  the  bait.  The 
responses  were  soon  and  many.  I 
wonder  if  it  is  true  that  the  way  to 
a  man's  heart  is  through  his 
stomach?  It  must  be  true;  it 
brought  answers. 

When  asked  if  I  knew  who  my 
secret  sis  was,  I  replied  that  I 
didn't  know  and  didn't  care  to. 
Furthermore.  I  stated  that  it 
would  take  all  the  fun  out  of  it, 
even  though  others  knew  who 
theirs  were. 

And  so,  my  faithful  column 
followers,  until  next  time,  take 
good  care  of  your  secret  friends. 
-  Thanks  giris!!

AT  HOME  IN  ALASKA  (OR  TENN.)  SNOW 


I  DLynn  Neumann 

"Winter  coat?  Boots?  I  left 
I  those  at  home!"  rejoined  the 
I  blonde  Alaskan,  toes  curled  a- 
I  round  the  bar  of  the  chair  in  her 
I  first  floor  dorm  room.  "I  was 
■  coming  south,  and  I  thought, 
y Who  needs  thosel'" 

By  now,  Debbie  Bingman,  a 
•  freshman  physical  therapy  major, 
may  have  second  thoughts  about 
;jie  coat  and  boots.  The  world 
south"  has  the  decepHve  con- 
notation of  "warm"  to  those  "up 
north."  But  then  Alaska  conjures 
"s  equally  fantastic  images  in  the 
southern  imagination  -  images 
"lat  Debbie  is  likely  to  shatter  for 
you  with  the  cold  facts. 

Misconception    #1      Alaska  is 

"M  tundra  with  16  feet  of  perma- 

■nost  that  never  thaws,  therefore 

■S^t;;''""^  '^  *^  ™'y  p^^'"8 

Not  so.  Debbie  lives  in  the 
«^,  1  "  *^'"""  ^'">"*  350  miles

I  '  '"^  favorite  summer  sports  is 
T^ntain  hiking.  Downhill  skiing 
™  the  winter  is  out,  though  - 
™se  mountains  are  too  jaggedl 
""•^bie  is  willing  to  grant  us 


our  permafrost;  only  a  few  inches 
thaw  in  summer.  But  the  main 
industry  is  not  whale  blubber. 
Debbie's  father  is  a  contractor 
and  fisherman  in  the  summer,  a 
fuel  distributer  in  the  winter.  His 
occupations  are  quite  represent- 
ative of  the  state's  real  industries. 
Oil  has  become  important  with 
the  1968  Prudhoe  Bay  strike  and 
pipeline.  The  pipeline  has  in- 
creased the  demand  for  construc- 
tion too.  And  fishing  -  herring, 
halibut,  salmon  -  have  always 
been  important.  Alaska  usually 
leads  all  other  states  in  commer- 
cial fishing.  It  has  some  of  the 
best  salmon  grounds  in  the  world, 
as  the  Yukon  River  is  the  spawn- 
ing ground  for  the  pink,  red, 
hump,  and  king  salmon. 

"Everyone  fishesl"  said 
Debbie.  "From  June  --  when  the 
ice  leaves  the  river  -  till  October, 
November.  Sometimes  you  can 
watch  the  baby  seals  float  by  on 
small  icebergs.  The  fishermen 
don't  like  them  though,  'cause 
they  bite  the  fish  in  the  nets. 
They  can't  sell  the  fish  then."

fisherman  prejudice  for  a  time  in 
the  Bingman  household  though. 
Debbie  kept  one  of  the  cuddly 
critters  in,  a  bathtub  in  the  front 
yard  for  awhile.  But  as  his  white 
baby  coat  turned  an  adult  brown, 
his  disposition  worsened.  Seals, 
says  Debbie,  have  a  poor  nature. 
They're  solitary  animals  and  they 
bite!  So  the  pet  was  given  its 
swimming  papers,  and  turned  out 
to  the  ocean. 

'  /hatever  you've  heard  about 
T"  eather  extremes  is  probably 
true.  In  the  Aleutians  at  least, 
the  winters  (October  to  April)  are 
super  cold  with  9  a.m.  -  3  p.m. 
sunlight.  But  when  summer  hits, 
the  days  are  humid  and  hot.  The 
longest  day,  June  21,  starts  at 
2:30  a.m.  and  ends  about  11:30 
p.m.  with  a  twilight  night. 

"Our  Fourth  of  July  celebration 
comes  in  March.  It's  the  Beaver 
Roundup."  This  mardi  gras 
brings  all  the  pelt  traders  to- 
gether for  a  week  of  dog  sled, 
cross-country  ski,  and  obstacle  or 
flat  snow  mobile  races.  In  a  land 
where  there  is  unlimited  hunting 
and  trapping,  that  includes  most 
everyone,  especially  the  natives  -- 
Tlingit  Indians. 

"The  Indians  don't  do  much 


craft  work  anymore,"  commented 
Debbie.  "Some  of  the  older  ones 
remember  how  to  carve  ivory  and 
things,  but  the  new  generation 
doesn't  care  much."  What  craft 
does  survive  mostly  comes  in  the 
form  of  baskets,  blankets,  and 
parkas.  And  the  parkas  are  beau- 
tifiil  beaver  or  seal  trimmed  with 
wolf. 

Working  in  an  area  where 
caribou,  moose,  and  fish  are 
staples  in  the  diet  could  be  a  little 
rough  on  vegetarians,  as  Dave 


Prest  and  Gary  Philpott  are  prob- 
ably aware  of  right  now.  Debbie 
met  the  SM's  while  the  three 
were  counselors  at  a  camp  spon- 
sored by  the  45-member  church 
near  her  home.  They  told  her 
about  SMC.  "And  here  I  am," 
smiled  Debbie. 


And  here  she  is,  blue  jeans  and 
tennis  shoes,  totally  un-Eskimo, 
and  changing  southern  ideas 
about  the  true  North.

Southern  Memories 
Captured  With  Sound

The  sights  and  sounds  of  life  at 
^ML  are  captured  in  the  annual 
^\u"-  ^"^^Bourget,  editor  of 
southern  Memories  has  com 
Pletely  changed  the  layout  of  the 
yearboolc.  His  ideas  include  re- 
cording  The  Sounds  of  SMC.  This 
's  a  33  1/3  RPM  „o„g  sound- 
sheet  lasting  17  minutes  and  30 
seconds. 

The  recording  was  made  to 
allow  students  to  express  their 
real  feelmgs  about  SMC.  Rick 
Blondo  mterviewed  American  and 
foreign  students  and  recorded 
their  reflections  and  opinions  of 
this  year.  All  of  the  students  had 
positive  reactions  to  SMC  men 
Honing  the  high  quality  of  educa- 
tion available,  except  one  who 
complained  of  the  growing  imper- 
sonal atmosphere  caused  by  the 


increasing  enrollment. 

College  officials  were  also  in- 
ter^.iewed.  From  the  Admissions 
Office,  Kenneth  Spears  com- 
mented on  the  features  of  SMC 
that  brings  students  here.  Bill 
Taylor  told  about  the  growth  and 
future  development,  and  Presi- 
dent Frank  Knittel  spoke  about 
the  growth  and  expansion  of  the 
student  body. 

Besides  the  interviews,  Bour- 
get  interplayed  sound  effects 
typical  to  college  life  -  popcorn 
popping,  fire  alarms,  dripping 
water,  CK  waiters  yelling  num- 
bers, the  library  click  gates,  etc. 
The  recording  of  the  interviews 
took  about  two  weeks.  Volker 
Henning.  a  communications  ma- 
jor, then  spent  about  eight  hours 
editing  and  adding  narration. 
Bourget  said  this  is  the  first  time 


a  yearbook  editor  has  done  this  at 
an  Adventist  college.  The  record 
was  produced  at  Eva-Tone  in  Illi- 
nois, one  of  the  biggest  producers  - 
of  soundsheets  in  the  United 
States,  They  gave  him  a  15  per 
cent  discount  because  this  was 
the  first  time,  which  brought  the 
total  cost  to  $470.  The  cost  is 
being  covered  by  the  Southern 
Memories  fund  and  the  Public 
Relations  Office. 

Bourgefs  other  ideas  for  this 
year's  annual  include  a  photo 
essay,  family  facultv  pictures,  a 
formal  and  informal  picture  of 
seniors,  and  a  second  semester 
supplement.  ThcColl.-i,,  Presh  is 
printing  the  216-page  book  ,,.ith 
eight  pages  of  color  pictures. 

Bourget  has  also  returned  to 
the  tradition  of  dedicating  the 
annual  to  a  faculty  member.

to  resolve  the  problem  of  the

Although  an  ordinance  prohibit-

In  any  societ>-  there  eiists  a  ladder  of  priorities  that  ranges  from

When  a  problem  arises  in  a  society,  like  say  an  energy  crisis  or  a  tidal

being  determined  bv  the  problem  that  has  beset  the  society. 

Here  at  SMC  we  ar«  in  a  society  based  on  education.  The  bottom 
rune  of  our  ladder  is  knowledge,  marketable  knowledge.  As  we  move 
higher  we  find  broad  subjects,  small  classes,  interested  msttuctors. 
sodal  activities  committees,  and  student  club  banquets.  Now  the

It  can  be  quite  dangerous  for  a 
student  to  rise  up  in  disagree- 
ment to  a  procedure  to  be  taken 
by  the  upper  school  authorities. 
Yet  it  can  be  even  more  dan-

freedom  which  built  the  nest  in         I  firmly  maintain  that  regard-

areas  that  we  can  control,  and  it  is  here  that  we  should  focus 
energies  concerning  this  situation. 

Near  the  top  of  our  ladder  of  priorities  lies  a  most  astoundmg 
organization  ...  the  Student  Association.  Now  this  isn't  an  exposition 
on  the  horrors  and  atrocities  of  a  malignant  SA;  it  is  rather  a  look  into 
potential,  the  potential  of  a  clipped-down  SA  ...  one  that  has  a 
volunteer  president  and  a  handful  of  executive  members.  That  s 
what's  coming,  so  we  might  as  well  look  at  it. 

My  opinion  of  the  SA,  although  somewhat  limited  in  value,  is 
rather  low.  Actually,  it  doesn't  even  register.  I  suppose  that  with  any 
bureaucracy  like  ours,  we  can  expect  some  sluggishness,  and  it  comes 
in  any  sysTem  you  can  think  of. 

Abolishing  the  SA  would  save  each  student  on  this  campus  only 
about  a  dollar  an  hour  per  semester,  and  for  you  math  majors,  that's 
about  $30  a  year.  Heavy,  huh?  But  with  a  total  SA  budget  of  about 
$70,000  a  lot  can  be  done  ...  an  awful  lot.  I  know  that,  as  a  student 
body,  we  can  figure  something  out  that  makes  use  of  our  money  more 
effectively. 

How  about  an  Adventist  answer  to  the  downtown  Areopagus,  one 
closer  and  run  by  students,  initially  financed  by  the  SA?  Or  maybe  a 
newspaper/annual  combination  that  comes  out  twice  a  month  looking 
like  an  issue  of  Time  or  Newsweek  and  filled  with  pictures,  articles, 
and  issues  that  are  presented  by  students  (not  only  journalism 
classes)  and  then  bound  at  the  end  of  the  year  for  a  fantastic  PR 
gesture  and  pretty  good  synopsis  of  the  year  (isn't  that  what  an 
annual  is  all  about?)  Maybe  some  scholarships,  dorm  improvements? 
There  are  lots  of  ideas,  and  lots  of  possibilities.  As  it  stands,  we 
will  lose  a  lot  of  our  past  opportunities  this  next  year  due  to  the 
crunch.  Let's  not  let  any  more  opportunities  get  away  before  we 
place  them  on  our  bottom  rung  of  necessities  ...  so  that  we  won't  be 
able  to  afford  to  let  them  go.  w   p__j

colleagues,  for  the  staff  member 
has  a  lot  more  to  lose.  I  do  not 
know  the  exact  dangers  which 
would  face  a  student  in  such  a 
case  as  this,  yet  viewing  the 
necessity  for  protest  I  feel  that  a 
student  has  less  fear  in  regards  to 
losing  something  than  a  teacher 
or  faculty  member. 

Revolution  in  our  Christian 
realm  of  thinking  is  taboo  and 
rightly  so.  I  am  not  advocating 
revolution,  though  it- has  been  a 
prevailing  attitude  in  the  mo- 
ments of  more  humorous  debates 
over  school  policies  or  actions 
between  students  and  more  lib-  Dear  Editor: 
oral  faculty.  Neither  am  I  saying 
that  I  know  it  all,  but  I  can  see  and 
think. 

The  matter  in  quest  concerns 
the  erection  of  a  certain  symbol  of 
"Christian  Aestheticism"  on  our 
campus  in  the  near  fiiture.  There 
seems  to  be  quite  a  number  of 
people,  not  only  "unawares"  stu- 
dents, but  many  people  of  posi- 
tion, who  are  in  opposition  to  this 
move.  It  amazes  me  that  so  many 
people  remain  silent  about  the 
matter  and  quietly  allow  such  a 
pagan  symbol  to  be  set  up  on  this 
campus. 


which  God's  last  day  church  has 
been  hatched  and  raised  to  ma- 
turity. 

I  focus  on  one  point  which  I 
hope  that  those  erecting  the  sta- 
tue will  read.  This  is  not  ammuni- 
tion to  help  defend  myself,  it  is 
only  common  sense.  "The  great- 
est want  of  the  worid  is  the  want 
of  men  -  men  who  will  not  be 
bought  or  sold,  men  who  in  their 
inmost  souls  are  true  and  honest, 
men  who  do  not  fear  to  call  sin  by 
its  right  name,  men  whose  con- 
science is  as  true  to  duty  as  the 
needle  to  the  pole,  men  who  will 
stand  for  the  right  though  the 


less  of  other  factors  the  statue 
should  not  be  erected.  It  is  not  a 
question  of  aesthetic  beauty  ot 
money,  rather  it  is  a  question  ot 
principle  and  the  influence  it  will 
have. 

I  appeal  to  all  to  bring  this 
matter  into  thought  and  out  into 
the  open.  I  recommend  that  three 
separate  votes  be  taken.  One  of 
the  students,  one  of  the  faculty, 
and  one  from  the  alumni  of  this 
college.  It  still  may  not  be  too 
late. 

Sincerely, 
David  Kay 


Dinner  At  The  Club? 


I've  been  a  student  here  for 
three  years  now  and  there  is  one 
thing  that  really  disturbs  me. 
How  can  a  select  few  find  fault 
and  criticize  almost  everything 
put  on  by  this  school?  For  exam- 
ple, I  recall  a  remark  made  about 
the  last  Talent  Show  being  re- 
membered as  "a  night  at  the 
night  club."  The  same  few  can 
sit  in  our  cafeteria  and  listen  to 
"religious"  music  with  a  much 
heavier  beat  than  anything  pre- 


sented at  the  last  Talent  Show. 
I'm  not  complaining  about  the 
group's  performance  in  the  cafe- 
teria, but  to  me  it  was  much  more 
sacrilegious  than  "Raindrops 
Keep  Falling  on  my  Headl"

The  words  "pagan  symbol" 
previously  mentioned  will  no 
doubt  stir  controversy.  Yet  as  a 
free-speaking  citizen  of  this  coun- 
try and  a  member  of  God's  rem- 
nant church,  I  stand  behind  those 
words  and  not  without  reason. 

Read  carefully  this  quote  taken 
from  Patriarchs  and  Prophets,  pg. 

306.  "The  second  commandment 
forbids  the  worship  of  the  true 
God  by  images  or  similitudes. 
Many  heathen  nations  claimed 
that  their  images  were  mere  fig- 
lires  or  symbols  by  which  the 
Deity  was  worshipped,  but  God 
has  declared  such  worship  to  be 
sin.  The  attempt  to  represent  the 
Eternal  One  by  material  objects 
would  lower  man's  conception  of 
God." 

Satan  literally  enjoys  working 
in  the  gray  area.  Gray  exists 
between  black  and  white.  Moder- 
ated religion  exists  between  good 
and  bad.  Paul  exhorts  us  in 
Romans  14  to  consider  the  effects 
our  actions  may  have  on  the  belief 
in  Christ  of  others. 

The  great  masses  can  be 
colored  gray  if  they  fail  to  make  a 
stand.  Those  who  advocate  it  can 
choose  their  color,  and  more  than 
likely  1  shall  be  labeled  red,  yet.

had  a  few  .imitations  imposed  on 
us  by  the  deans.  But  we  still  kept 
our  integrity  of  freedom. 

Going  to  the  cafeteria  or  CK  is 
both  a  choice  and  a  requirement. 
vVhen  we  get  there,  we  can 
choose  anything  that  we  want 
without  being  told  "no".  We  also 
can  go  down  to  Burger  King,  Taco 
Bell,  etc.,  and  buy  whatever  we 
want  with  the  only  limitations 
being  our  money  and  our  health 
principles  which  vary  from  person 
toperson.  Allof  this  falls  into  our 
integrity  of  freedom. 

Music  is  another  area  of  choice 
and  limitation.  We  can  listen  to 
whatever  we  want,  be  it  Bach  or 
Kiss  —  the  decision  to  choose 
with  us.  No  college 
regulation  determines  i 
taste  even  though  certain  types 
are  not  recommended  and  a  few 
dare  to  venture  out  and  call  them 
"sin",  which  is  fine.  But  our 
choice  still  remains  within  our 
integrity  of  freedom. 

One  last  example  can  make  us 
realize  the  importance  of  our  in- 
tegrity of  freedom.  We  can 
choose  to  go  see  Gose  Encoun- 
ters or  the  Choir  Boys.  The 
college  defines  such  behavior  as 
unbecoming,  and  It  offers  disci- 
pline if  you  are  caught.  But  the 
right  remains  for  you  to  chose,  to 
take  a  chance,  to  gamble  (which  is 
fun  to  do  at  times).  All  of  this 
falls  into  our  integrity  of  ft'eedom, 
the  right  to  choose. 

Our  integrity  of  ft-eedom  has 
another  aspect  to  it  also.  It  is 
this  —  if  we  profess  to  be  Chris- 
tians, we  have  to  take  into  ac- 
count those  who  are  not  and  who 
are  trying  to  form  a  relationship 
with  Christ.  ' 

What  does  your  example  of  free 
choice  do  to  that  person?  This  is  a 
technical  way  to  say  that  I  am  my 
brother's  or  sister's  keeper,  and 
my  example  can  either  help  or 
hinder,  and  it  also  can  alter  his 
eternal  destiny  even  though  we 
feel  that  it  is  not  wrong  to  do  what 
we  do.  Yet  we  must  keep  this  in 
mind  at  all  times  if  we  are  Chris- 
tians. 

It  would  be  good  for  us  to  ask 
the  Lord  to  help  us  be  exam(>les 
that  will  only  help  others  and  not 
destroy  them  before  they  hayje  a 
chance  to  experience  their  inte- 
grity of  freedom.  '

"It  all  began  with  a  one-man  art 
show  in  Denver."  he  reminisced. 
1  had  met  Malcolm  Chllders, 
associate  professor  of  art,  at  the 
CK.  He  was  ver>-  tall  and  rather 
striking  in  his  cream-colored  mus- 
lin shirt,  tan  cords,  and  dark 
boots.  He  was  on  his  way  to 
deliver  a  silk  screen  to  a  friend,  so 
I  tagged  along. 

A  civic  club  in  Denver  had 
given  a  country  club  dinrter  in 
honorof  his  an  show.  It  was  then 
that  he  got  acquainted  with  the 
president  of  the  Rocky  Mountain 
Energ\'  Company  —  which  takes 
care  of  all  mining  concerns  in  the 
huge  land  area  granted  to  the 
Union  Pacific  Raifroad  back  in  the 
^  laSO's. 

P      It  was  this  company  he  thought 
of  later  when  he  conceived  his 


idea  for  several  months,  and 
meanwhile  it  came  time  for  them 
to  publish  a  corporate  image  bro- 
chure. A  photographer  was  need- 
ed —  and  so  Chllders  was  hired 
on  a  short-term  basis.  It  was 
agreed  that  Childers  would  pro- 
duce publishable  photographs  at 
the  rate  of  one  out  of  ten  —  then  a 
few  would  be  selected  for  use  in 
current  and  future  brochures. 

Malcolm  momentarily  inter- 
rupted his  narrative  to  stop  and 
talk  to  student  Ron  Pickell  about  a 
witnessing  group  they  were  form- 
ulating. Then  we  walked  on  and 
Malcolm  talked  about  the  time  he 
spent  out  West  taking  pictures. 
It  was  "one  fantastic  summer," 
he  declared. 

He  left  Collegedale  in  May  for 
six  weeks  on  assignment  in  Col- 


idea  of  "  a  systems  approach  to      orado  and  Wyoming.    He  photo- 


corporate  art,"  Childers  told  i 
It"s  like  free  lancing.   Rather  than 

taking  care  of  all  corporation  art. 
an  outside  artist  proposes  a  sys- 
temized  art  idea  to  the  company. 
Last  year  Childers  proposed  that 
he  do  some  photographic  art  for 
the  Rocky  Mountain  Energy 
Company. 
The  company  chewed  on  the 


graphed  the  company  head- 
quarters, and  he  went  out  and 
took  pictures  at  the  Stansbury 
Coal  Company,  an  underground 
coal  mine,  at  The  Medicine  Bow 
Coal  Mine,  an  above-ground  open 
pit;  at  the  Bear  Creek  Company,  a 
uranium  mine;  and  at  the  Big 
Island  Soda  Ash  Mine,  all  in 
Wyoming.  He  climbed  down  into 
the  mines  and  rode  up  on  the  big 


machines,  along  with  the  work- 
ers. "All  those  rides  were  better 
than  at  Disneyland,"  he  smiled. 
We  were  back  at  the  CK  now; 
the  silk-screen  has  been  deliv- 
ered. Malcolm  sat  at  one  of  the 
tables  and  drew  me  a  picture  of 
one  of  the  huge  dragline  ma- 
chines, five  stories  high  at  the  top 
of  the  crane,  and  him  up  there 
shooting  pictures  of  an  ore  bucket 
big  enough  to  put  the  whole  CK 

The  company  now  owns  all  of 
the  5000  pictures  Malcolm  shot, 
in  accordance  with  the  planned 
copyrights.  Some  were  used  in 
the  corporation  brochure  already 
published,  but  the  project  is  on- 
going. Childers  is  planning  to 
make  further  proposals  for  the  . 
restofthephotography  —  suchas 
handmade  fine  arts  prints  and 
paintings,  to  be  produced  from 
the  photos. 

However  the  project  goes  from 
here,  Malcolm  feels  that  it  has 
been  good  experience.  It  gave 
htm  the  chance  to  see  people 
living  in  unusual  situations  —  and 
the  chance  to  share  Christ.  "It 
just  goes  to  show  that  you  can 
witness  to  the  love  of  Jesus 
wherever  you  are."

In  the  dark  of  the  night  my  Savior 
sweeps  down  to  save  me.  Ih  my  darkest 
hour  my  Savior  prevails,  just  when  I  need 
Him  most. 

He  longs  to  rescue  His  damsel  in 
distress,!  like  a  white  kmght  in  bright, 
shining  armor. 

Without  hesitation  He  wraps  His  pure, 
white  cloak  around  me.  It  is  the  Robe  of 
Righteousness,  crystal  clean  and  fall  of 
transparency.  His  love  for  humanity  is 
overwhelming,  as  He  takes  me  for  His 
bride. 

On  the  wings  of  deliverance,  He  s^ds 
ffis  love  song:  "Come  Meet  My  Father 
Through  Me." 

With  His  life  He  strives  to  renew  nune. 


by  immersing  Himself  in  my  souJ.  i  have 
only  to  claim  it.  Thank  God,  I  have. 

Like  the  flicker  of  a  single  candle  in  the 
night,  He  lights  the  way.  Come  with  Me 
my  blemished  princess,  for  I  am  the  Light 
of  the  world. 

Immersion  in  love  is  joy.  But  I  pause, 
reflecting  on  His  torn  spirit  caused  by  my 
transgression.  The  agony  is  beyond  my 
comprehension,  and  I  marvel  at  His  for- 
giving grace. 

Jesus.  I  love  you.  Not  because  I  have 
to  —  I  can't  keep  it  to  myself.  Please  don't 
ever  loosen  your  arms  from  around  me. 

Thank  Godl  Christ,  my  Lord,  in  m> 
darkest  hour  prevails  —  I'm  savedl  Just 
when  I  need  it  most. 


For  Life  Or   Forever? 


A  fellow  who  called  himself  an  "en- 
lightened atheist"  once  went  on  a  tour  of  a 
monastery.  At  the  end  of  the  inspection, 
he  remarked  smugly  to  the  monk  who  had 
been  his  guide: 

"Just  think,  now,  if  God  does  not  exist. 


and  I  think  that's  the  case,  then  you  will 
have  wasted  your  whole  life." 

And  the  monk  replied: 

"If  I  am  wrong,  I  shall  have  wasted  only 
50  to  70  years.  But  if  you  are  wrong,  you 
will  waste  an  eternity."

God  speais  to  us 

In  order  to  commune  with  God- 

through  nature, 

We  must  have  something  to  say 

revelation, 

to  Him 

His  providence, 

concerning  our  actual  life. 

and  by 

the  influence 

Prayer  is 

of  His  Spirit, 

the  opening 

of  the  heart 

to  God 

But  these  are  not  enough; 

as  a  friend. 

We  need  also  to  pour  out 

our  hearts  to  Him. 

Our  heavenly  Father 

waits  to  bestow  upon  us 

the  fullness  of  His  blessing. 

3ur  minds  may  be 

drawn  out  toward  Him; 

God  is 

We  may  meditate  upon 

ready  and 

His  works, 

willing 

His  mercies, 

to  hear  the  sincere  prayer 

His  blessings; 

of  the  humblest  of  His  children 

but  this  is  not. 

And  it  is  our  privilege 

in  the  fullest  sense. 

to  drink  largely 

communing  with  Him. 

at  the  fountain  of  boundless  love.

fortnight,  the  women  asked  Nai- 
smith  if  they  could  try  their  hand 
at  the  game.  One  afternoon,  the 
girls  came  ready  to  play,  decked 
jjt  in  tennis  shoes,  long  trailing 
dresses  with  leg-of-mutton 
sleeves,  and  in  some  cases,  a  hint 
of  a  bustle.  With  complete  di5,- 
regard  for  the  rules,  they  began 
running  and  shooting  for  the  bas- 
ket. When  Naismith  called  a  foul 
on  one  of  the  ladies,  she  pro- 
ceeded to  question  his  ancestry. 
Since  those  early  days,  basket- 
ball has  become  a  popular  indoor 
sport  for  both  men  and 


i:  Reuben  Castillo 

Basketball  is  the  only  major 
spori  strictly  of  US  origin.  It  was 
in\cnted  by  James  Naismith'  in 
December  of  1891. 

As  an  instructor  in  the  P.E. 
department  of  a  college  in  Spring- 
field. Mass..  Naismith  was  urged 
to  fashion  a  game  that  could  be 
played  indoors.  He  concocted  a 
set  of  five  rules  which  we  still  play 
by: 

1.  There  must  be  a  ball  to  be 
handled  with  the  hands. 

2.  There  shall  be  no  running 
with  the  ball. 

3.  Any  player  on  the  court  can 
get  the  ball  at  any  time. 

4.  No  personal  contact  is  al- 
lowed. 

5.  The  goal  shall  be  horizontal 
and  elevated. 

Two  peach  baskets  were  nailed 
on  opposite  ends  of  the  gym  to

While  the  Denver  Bronco  fans 
are  trying  to  swallow  thousands  of 
gallons  of  stale  orange  crush  that 
is  only  being  served  in  Cowboy 
hats,  another  ball  still  bounces 
on.  The  birth  of  a  new  league 
steps  out  on  faith,  quick  hands, 
strong  legs  and  new  faces  -■ 
rookies. 

Leading  off  the  new  franchise 
will  be  the  returning  champion 
Warren  Halversen.  His  team  will 
depend  largelv  on  strategy.  If  his 
strong  forward  Gary  Wilt  can 
keep  his  ankles  strong,  he  will  be 
an  asset  to  the  team.  But  this 
leam  rests  on  motivating  a  rookie 
center  and  quickness. 

David  "Buns"  Rathbun  has  a 
predominantly  rookie  team  that 
has  to  play  aggressively.  He  has 
a  sharp  guard  in  David  Thomp- 


son, and  must  depend  on  the  play 
of  Keith  Mosley  to  sweep  boards. 
Got  to  get  rookie  forwards  to  do 
their  jobs. 

Jim  Douglas  has  a  team  that 
could  take  it  all,  a  team  with 
jumping  ability  that  can  tear  the 
roof  off  the  place.  Devastating 
rookie  center  Brad  "Buck" 
Schuitz  is  the  back  bone.  With 
the  arrival  of  Eric  Essex  to 
smooth  things  out  the  team  can 
go  far. 

If  Jim  Douglas  is  hoping  to 
have  a  contender  it  should  be  Ron 
Barts  and  Company.  Well-bal- 
anced team  with  two  super  quick 
guards  in  David  Ruiz  and  Bruce 
Kaufman.  He  will  get  good  out-f 
side    shooting    from    the    entire' 


squad,  good  forward  guard  i„ 
Terry  Uran  and  Barts.  But  If 
rookie  tree  center  Rick  Prus.; 
gets  going  —  look  out! 

JeffSchultz,  hustle  is  the  name 
ofthe  game  for  his  team.  And  he 
has  the  material  to. make  it  work 
Michael  Abbott  will  take  charge 
at  center  (a  little  Cowens).  Brya„ 
Aalborg.  Richard  Thornton,  and 
Gusso  love  to  run.  Much  help  is 
needed  from  Williams.  Visser 
will  take  his  shots,  so  look  for  him 
to  be  hot.  This  team  can  come  on 
like  the  Boston  Celtics  of  '7f,, 

There  you  have  it  -  a  new 
league  with  rookie  faces.  But  it's 
still  that  same  old  game  of  round- 
ball  or  basketball,  depending  on 
your  style.

Ariz.  Boys  Chorus 
To  Appear  tn  Levis 


The  Tucson  Arizona  Boys 
Chorus  vMil  sing  Feb.  18  at  8  p.m. 
m  the  Physical  Education  Center. 
Tickers  go  on  sale  Feb.  6-12  in  the 
Student  Center  and  Feb.  13-17  in 
the  Campus  Shop. 

Founded  in  1939,  the  Tucson 
Boys  Chorus  has  been  called 
"Ambassadors  in  Levi's"  from 
the  land  of  cactus  and  canyons. 

The  chorus,  with  no  church  or 
school  affiliation,  consists  of  over 
100  boys  beUveen  the  ages  of  7 
and  14.  The  Touring  Chorus 
numbers  24  to  30  and  is  chosen 
from  the  best  voices  in  the  Train- 
ing and  TowneSinger  Choruses 
who  have  earned  top  grades  in 
school  as  well.  By  special  ar- 
rangement, the  boys  who  tour  are 
permitted  to  make  up  their  school 
work  when  they  return. 

During  the  year  the  chorus 
rehearses  three  times  a  week.  In 
summer  the  young  cowboys  take 
to  the  Catalina  Mountains  where 
there  is  intensive  musical  training 
for  the  following  season's  work. 
There  is  also  trick-roping,  hiking. 
swimming,  archery,  and  riflery. 

The  Tucson  Boys  Chorus  was 
founded  by  Eduardo  Caso,  an 
Englishman  who  came  to  Arizona 
in  1930.     His  two  great  loves, 


music  and  teaching,  were  com- 
bined in  his  dream  of  a  boys 
chorus  with  a  characteristically  A- 
merican  sound  and  repertoire, 
which  would  take  its  place  on  the 
world  music  scene  with  Europe's 
oldest  and  finest. 

Dr.  John  S.  Davis,  present  di- 
rector of  the  chorus,  began  his 
musical  studies  at  the  age  of  10  as 
a  boy  soprano  in  the  Tucson  Boys 
Chorus  with  Eduardo  Caso.  Dr. 
Davis  received  his  doctorate  in 
composition  from  the  University 
of  Arizona  in  1967.  His  composi- 
tions include  over  300  choral 
works,  two  symphonies,  two 
operas,  a  musical  comedy,  and 
many  other  vocal  and  instru- 
mental works.

question,  for  each  performance  of 
each  piece  of  music. 

The  societies  are  ASCAP  (A- 
merican  Society  of  Composers, 
Authors,  and  Publishers).  BMI 
(Broadcast  Music,  Inc.)  and 
SESAC  (Society  of  European 
Stage  Authors  and  Composers). 

Until  now  all  non-profit  organi- 
zations were  exempt  from  such 
licensing,  but  with  the  new  law, 
non-profit  organizations,  too,  will 
be  required  to  obtain  licenses. 

The  new  act  does  not  exempt 
non-profit  organizations  from 


royalty  payments  if  1.)  there  is  a 
direct  or  indirect  (such  as  your 
student  activities  fee  at  registra- 
tion) admission  charge,  2.)  if  a 
payment  for  the  performance  is 
made  to  any  of  the  performers, 
promoters,  or  organizers,  and 
finally,  if  3.)  there  is  any  direct  or 
indirect  commercial  advantage  to 
the  performers,  promoters,  or  or- 
ganizers. 

What  does  all  this  mean  to  the 
student?  At  the  beginning  of 
each  year  the  Student  Association 
will  be  required  to  buy  a  license 
which  will  allow  the  college  to 
perform,  host  performances,  and 
use  copyrighted  music  in  any 
program.  Some,  if  not  all  of  that 
fee,  will  come  out  of  the  students' 
pockets.  The  amount  of  this 
license  may  range  anywhere  from 
$400  to  $5,000,  said  Dr.  Marvin 


Robertson,  professor  of  music, 
depending  on  the  size  of  the 
performance  hall  and  the  number 
of  concerts.  It  may  be  necessary 
for  the  SA  to  make  drastic  reduc- 
tions in  it's  programming  for  the 
next  school  year. 

At  this  point,  negotiations  are 
in  progress  to  persuade  licensing 
companies  to  bring  down  thei' 
price  for  non-profit  organizational 
-licensing.  Many  educators  are 
attempting  to  point  out  the  dif- 
ference between  educational  in- 
stitutions and  hotels  or  night 
clubs.    - 

SMC,  like  other  colleges,  will 
await  the  outcome  of  negotiations 
and  hope  a  reasonable  fee  and 
method  of  payment  can  be 
worked  out  that  won't  drastically 
deflate  the  budget. 


Lucktenberg  Duo    Presents 
300-Year  l\/lusical Panorama 


Lucktenberg  Ddo 


The  Lucktenberg  Duo,  noted 
for  their  performances  of  18th- 
century  music,  will  be  heard  in 
concert  at  Miller  Hall  on  Sunday, 
Feb.  5  at  8  p.m. 

Jerrie  Cadek  Lucktenberg ,  vio- 
linist and  George  Lucktenberg, 
keyboardist,  combine  talents  as 
interpreters  of  a  solo  and  duo 
repertoire  spanning  three  hun- 
dred years. 

The  Lucktenbergs  will  demon- 
strate that  the  full  range  of  tone 
color  and  authentic  stvle  can  be 
achieved  only  through  the  use  of 
instruments  for  which  the  music 
was  actually  conceived. 

With  her  1718  Italian  violin, 
Jerrie  uses  two  different  18th- 
century  bows:  a  late-Baroque 
model  and  a  Classic-period  repli- 
ca representing  the  transition  to 
the  modem  Tourte-style  bow 
which  she  uses  for  19th-century 
and  contemporary  music. 

George,  a  pioneer  in  the  revival 


of  historical  keyboard  instru- 
ments, adds  to  the  modem  piano 
an  elegant  Flemish-style  concert 
harpsichord  and  a  Classic  forte- 
piano  of  the  kind  used  by  Mozart 
and  Beethoven. 

The  Lucktenbergs  both  serve 


on  the  faculty  of  the  School  of 
Music  at  Converse  College,  Spar- 
tanburg, South  Carolina.  Sum- 
mers are  spent  at  the  National 
Music  Camp,  Interlochen,  Mich., 
where  Dr.  Lucktenberg  is  the 
senior  member  of  the  Keyboard 
faculty. 


Road  Being   Repaired, 
Upgraded   By  Brown   Bros. 


CGIen  Mather 

"We  are  grading  the  surface 
every  possible  day,"  Lee 
Holland,  city  manager  said. 

"The  road  cannot  be  graded  in 
wet  or  frozen  conditions  because 
It  will  not  remain  smooth  for  more 
than  an  hour.  "But  be  assured  " 
said  Holland,  "that  a  grader  and 
operator  are  constantly  available 
to  grade  the  road  when  weather 
permits." 

Another  problem  is  evident  at 


the  crest  of  the  new  road  where 
the  bank  has  eroded  and  the 
guardrail  has  collapsed.  Holland 
said  that  the  road  contractors. 
Brown  Brothers,  would  shore  up 
the  bank  at  no  addition  to  the 
$336,000  original  contract. 

In  the  spring  of  1978,  when  dry 
weather  prevails,  the  Hamilt"" 
County  Road  Division  will  P^"^

Single  Applcation 
System  Simplifies 
BEOG,  Loan  Process 


IliancUy  Februry  2,  1978  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  - 


Students  seeking  financial  aid 

for  the  1978-79  academic  year  will 
for  the  first  time,  be  able  to  apply 
for  the  Basic  Educational  Oppor- 
tunity Grants,  National  Direct 
Student  Loans,  Supplemental  Op- 
portunity Grants,  College  Work- 
Study,  Nursing  Student  Loans, 
Nursing  Scholarships,  and  State 
Grants  through  one  single  appli- 
cation process. 

This  new  approach,  nation- 
wide, will  simplify  the  complex 
process  by  which  students  apply 
for  financial  aid.  Most  states  will 
also  use  the  same  form  for  their 
state  grant/ scholarship  applica- 
tion. Reducing  paperwork  and 
much  of  the  need  for  repackaging 
or  adjusting  financial  aid  awards 
will  speed  tht  application 
process. 

The  application  timetable  has 
changed  nationally  also,  in  that 
no  applications  are  scheduled  to 
be  processed  until  January  of 
each  year.  It  is  essential  for  the 
applicant  and  parents  to  report 
actual  earnings  for  the  previous 
calendar  year,  thus  the  need  for 
the  timetable  change. 

How  does  this  new  process 
work?  Students  obtain  the  Family 
Financial  Statement  of  the  Ameri- 
can College  Testing  Program 
(ACT)  or  the  Financial  Aid  Form 
of  the  College  Scholarship  Service 
(CSS)  from  student  financial  aid 
offices,  secondary  school  coun- 
selors, or  state  agencies. 

Both   services   use   a   uniform 


system  for  analyzing  financial 
need.  Individual  family  circum- 
stances are  taken  into  account, 
however.

Flu  Bug 
Bites    150 
SMiCs 

□  Barbara  Des 

The  health  service  reports  a 
large  flow  of  patients  since  the 
beginning  of  the  second  sem- 
ester. The  apparent  cause  of  the 
increase  is  the  "flu  bug"  which  is 
rapidly  circulating. 

The  clinic  has  seen  an  unofficial 
count  of  150  patients  and  has  put 
at  least  30  of  them  in  the  clinic  for 
special  care.  It  is  not  known 
exactly  how  many  others  have  not 
sought  treatment  or  have  re- 
ceived it  elsewhere. 

The  health  service  is  not  send- 
ing in  tests  but  other  tests  in  the 
area  indicate  that  the  strains  of 
flu  are  A-Texas,  and  A-Victoria. 

Marian  Kuhlman,  nurse  at  the 
clinic,  warns  that  the  flu  is  highly 
contagious  and  while  those  al- 
ready sick  need  to  be  cared  for, 
those  not  contaminated  should  be 
careful  to  avoid  close  contact  with 
the  sick. 


SA  Candidates   Launch 
Campaigns  In  February 


□  Debra  Ann  Martin 

Candidates  for  the  '78-79  Stu- 
dent Association  offices  are  rev- 
ving up  for  intensive  campaigning 
and  the  yearly  election  on  Feb.  23 
and  24. 

All  prospective  candidates 
must  file  an  application  with  the 
SA.  Applications  and  information 
on  the  elections  are  avilable  at  SA 
office  #3  in  the  Student  Center. 

There  are  eight  offices  open  for 
election;  president,  vice-presi- 
dent, social  activities  director, 
student  services  director,  aca- 
demic activities  director,  the  edi- 
torships for  the  SoDthem  Mem- 
oriea,  Hie  Sonthem  Accent,  and 
the)  Joker. 

The  offices  of  secretary  and 
treasurer  are  not  up  for  grabs  this 
year.  According  to  Jo  Lynn  Haw- 
thorne, vice-president  of  the  SA 
and  head  of  the  Elections  Com- 
mittee, a  change  in  the  consti- 
tution now  permits  the  ejected 
president  to  appoint  the  secretary 
and  treasurer  of  his  choosing, 
rather  than  having  them  elected 
by  the  student  body. 

Along  with  filing  an  application 
for  icandidacy,  every  applicant 
must  submit  a  campaign  plat- 
form, a  statement  of  promises, 
principles,    and    policies.       Ex- 


amples of  platforms  used  in  pre- 
vious years  are  available  in  SA 
office  #3.  These  platforms  will 
then  be  posted  around  the 
campus. 

Applications  and  platforms  for 
the  editorships  and  SA  offices  are 
due  in  the  SA  office  by  Feb.  9  and 
10  respectively. 

All  candidates  running  for  the 
position  of  editor  will  be  screened 
by  the  Student  Affairs  Office  and 
the  Publications  Board.  Candi- 
dates for  the  other  offices  will  be 
screened  by  the  Students  Affairs 
Office  only. 

To  qualify  for  candidacy,  a 
student  must  have  at  least  a  2.25 
GPA  and  be  a  citizen  in  good  and 
regular  standing.  If  applying  for 
the  editorships,  he  must  have 
some  background  or  experience 
in  publication  work. 

To  make  things  more  exciting, 
said  Hawthorne,  the  SA  will  offer 
each  candidate  a  free  block  of 
space  (24  inches)  in  the  Feb.  16 
edition  of  the  Accent.  This  is  the 
chance  for  the  candidates  to  sell 
themselves  in  any  way  they  wish. 
Their  imagination  is  the  limit.  All 
photos,  materials,  and  informa- 
tion for  the  blocks  of  space  are 
dye  Feb.  12  in  the  Accent  office.

Combined  Thanksgiving  And 
Christmas  Vacation  Proposed 


O  Jerry  Dick  Lien 

The  Facul^  Senate  appointed  a 
committee  last  month  to  investi- 
gate alternatives  to  the  present 
Thanksgiving-Christmas  vacation 
schedule.  The  committee  is 
chaired  by  Dr.  David  Steen. 

There  are  four  problems  in- 
herent in  the  existing  holiday 
break.  They  are  as  follows: 

1.  Many  students  feel  that  the 
unbroken  13 '/j  week  stretch  of 
course  work  from  registration  to 
Thanksgiving  vacation  creates  a- 
cademic  and  social  pressures. 

2.  The  short  three-week  stretch 
between  Thanksgiving  and 
Christmas  makes  it  difficult  for 
students  to  accomplish  much 
serious  scholarly  work. 

3.  The  costs  of  travel  of  two 
trips  within  a  four-week  period 
can  be  a  financial  strain  for  some 
people.    • 

4.  Both  Thanksgiving  and 
Christmas  vacations  take  place 
when  weather  conditions  are  apt 
to  make  travel  hazardous. 

With  these  stated  difficulties  in 
mind,  the  committee  has  sug- 
gested the  following  options: 

1.  Continue  with  the  present 
schedule  in  spite  of  problems. 

2.  Leave  the  existing  Thanks- 
giving and  Christmas  vacations  as 
they  now  stand,  but  add  one  long 
week-end  break  at  mid-term. 

3.  Move  the  vacation  time 
previously  allotted  to  Thanks- 
giving to  mid-term.  This  alterna- 
tive would  give  students  a  break 
from  classes  and  allow  vacation 
travel  when  weather  conditions 
are  better,  around  the  middle  of 
October.  Thanksgiving  then 
would  be  celebrated  at  SMC  pos- 


sibly as  a  free  day. 

4.  Begin  the  first  semester 
three  weeks  earlier,  have  a  mid- 
term break,  and  complete  the 
semester  before  Thanksgiving. 
Doing  this  would  make  it  possible 
to  offer  special  three-week 
courses  or  field  trips  between 
Thanksgiving  and  Christmas. 

A  letter  has  been  written  to 
parents  explaining  the  problems 


and  options  and  asking  for  sug- 
gestions and  opinions. 

Below,  students  will  find  a 
questionnaire.  Those  wishing  to 
express  their  opinions  on  the  mat- 
ter may  fill  out  the  questionnaire 
and  leave  it  in  the  red  Sootheni 
Accent  boxes  in  Thatcher,  Talge, 
Lynn  Wood  Hall,  and  the  Shident 
Center.  Or,  leave  It  at  the  Accent 
office  from  today  through  next 
Thursday.

GUEST  EDITORML: 

The  Neglected 
American 
/Si  Heritage 


vhich 


February  "-11  will  mark  the 
first  Black  Histon  and  Culture 
Week  to  have  e%er  been  held  on 
the  SMC  campus.  Traditionally. 
neither  has  the  American  South 
been  noted  for  its  positive  interest 
in  Black  Americans,  nor  has  SMC 
been  particularly  noted  for  its 
representation  of  Black  students 
on  campus.  In  recent  years  more 
black  students  have  come  to 
SMC.  and.  as  a  consequence, 
some  of  the  social  and  ideological 
issues  left  unaddressed  at  an 
earlier  time  need  to  be  addressed 

Most  Whites  have  few,  if  any. 
black  friends,  and  the  opposite  is 
also  true  for  Blacks.  This  reality 
provides  the  opportunitj'  for  mis- 
understandings and  prejudices  to 
develop  and  become  perpetuated 
between  Black  and  White  Ameri- 

Now.  as  never  before,  it  is 
imperative  that  Blacks  them- 
selves be  taught  that  their  fore- 
fathers were  also  Americans  who 
contributed  to  the  growth  of  this 

years,  have  been  taught  that  their 
forebears  were  savage,  inferior 
beings,  worthy  of  their  ultimate 
fate  --  slavery.  This  fact  has 
caused  many  Blacks  to  have  low 
opinions  of  themselves  and  to 
de\elop  inferiority  complexes, 
which  have  been  consistent  with 
the  stereotypes  portrayed  in  most 
of  the  early  versions  of  American 
histon'  books,  primarily  written 
irom  the  perspective  of  White. 

It  is  equally  important  that 
other  Americans  learn  of  the  a- 
chievements  of  Blacks  so  as  to 
better  understand  and  appreciate 
their  Black  classmates.  Black 
Histon.-  Week  has  been  instituted 
as  a  nationwide  event  for  the 
purpose  of  enabling  all  Ameri- 
cans to  begin  to  recognize  the 
contributions  that  Black  Ameri- 
cans have  made  to  the  total  A- 
merican  heritage> 

There  are  at  least  three  prob- 
lems associated  with  the  incep- 
tion of  Black  Histor>'  and  Culture 
Week  on  our  campus.  First,  other 
racial  or  ethnic  groups  may  won- 
der why  their  own  groups  do  not 
have  weeks  such  as  Mexican  A- 
merican.  or  Puerto  Rican-Ameri- 
can.  or  Asian-American  History 
Week  to  represent  their  specific 
ethnic  groups. 

Secondly,  a  major  problem  is 
encountered  in  attem,-»ting  to 
cover  the  total  contributions  of 
Blacks  to  the  history  of  America  ^jjt^ 
in  one  week.  It  is  impossible  to  do  ^^ 
so!  Therefore,  while  one  must  be 
selective  in  presenting  topics  or 
materials  relevant  to  the  contri- 
butions of  Blacks,  one  must  alsn 
be  cognizant  that  ir'  purposefully 
omitting   the   contributions  uf 


many  Blacks,  the  impression  is 
not  given  that  all  of  the  contri- 
butions of  Blacks  can  be  covered 
in  one  single  week. 

Thirdly,  if  the  point  of  the 
second  problem  is  not  under- 
stood the  possibility  exists  of 
A.uericans  thinking  that  since  one 
entire  week  has  been  set  apart  for 
emphasis  on  Blacks,  there  re- 
mains no  further  need  to  consider 
the  contributions  of  Blacks  during 
the  other  51  weeks  of  the  year. 

Here,  I  will  speak  only  to  the 
first  problem  stated  above.  An- 
drew Billingsley,  in  his  book  en- 
titled Black  Families  in  Wliite 
America,  notes  that  Blacks 
brought  to  the  United  States  were 
the  descendants  of  an  anciet  and 
honorable  tradition  of  African 
family  life.  The  breaking  up  of 
families,  moving  to  an  alien  cul- 
ture, in  chains,  not  being  allowed 
to  engage  freely  in  the  ordinary 
process  of  acculturation,  and  :he 
;  process  of  dehumanization 


rred

tion  suffered  by  Blacks.  In  addi- 
tion, the  fact  that  Blacks  are  the 
largest  racial  minorit}'  group  in 
America,  roughly  11  per  cent  of 
the  United  States  population, 
makes  an  essential  distinction  be- 
tween Blacks  and  other  immi- 
grant groups. 

The  above  statements  are  not 
meant  to  imply  that  other  cultural 
groups  are  not  as  important  as 
Blacks,  either  because  of  smaller 
numerical  representation  or  be- 
cause of  previous  conditions  of 
treatment.  They  are  only  inserted 
to  impress  the  reader  of  the  need 
for  a  week  particularly  devoted  to 
the  history  of  Black  Americans. 
Actually  a  better  name  for  the 
week  of  February  5-11  would  be 
"Black  Emphasis  Week." 

I  appreciate  the  interest  and 
assistance  the  administration  of 
SMC  has  given  me  in  helping  to 
coordinate  the  events  of  the  up-' 
coming  Black  History  and  Culture 
Week.

-Black  History  Week  History

American  Blacks  since  1926  when  Negro  History  Week  was  started  by

study  of  Afro- American  Life  and  History  in  1950,  The  purpose  was  to

Why  God  Created  Different  Races  —, 

God  created  different  races  for  the  same  reason  that  He  created 
different  kinds  of  birds,  or  varieties  of  roses."  Each  has  a  special 
beauty,  usefulness,  and  contribution  to  make.  The  racial  problem  is 
not  a  skin  problem,  but  one  of  the  hu.^an  heart.  Prejudice  and  hatred 
come  from  the  mind.  God  created  the  different  races  to  serve  and 
help  one  another.  The  racial  problem  is  but  one  more  evidence  that 
man  needs  a  change  of  heart.  Only  then  will  everyone  see  that 
variety  Is  the  spice  of  life  and  racial  differences  were  put  there  by  a 
loving  Creator  to  add  to— not  take  away  from— human  happiness. 


^  Why  Men  Have  To  Work 


IDReprinted  with  permission  from 
I  The  sky  used  to  be  very  close  to 
Le  ground.  In  fact,  it  wasn't  any 
Tjglierthan  a  man's  arm  when  he 
laised  it  above  his  head.  When- 
ever anybody  got  hungry,  all  he 
Ld  10  do  was  to  reach  up  and 
^reak  off  a  piece  of  the  sky  and 
leal  it.  That  way,  no  one  ever  had 
■to  work, 

I  Well,  it  was  a  fine  arrangement 
Iforawhile,  but  sometimes  people 
Iwould  break  off  more  than  they 
■could  eat,  and  what  they  couldn't 
leal  they  just  threw  on  the  ground. 
I  After  all,  the  sky  was  so  big  there 
fcould  always  be  enough  for 
Everybody  to  eat.  What  did  it 
flatter  if  they  broke  off  more  than 
Ihey  actually  wanted? 
J  Maybe  it  didn't  matter  to  them,

taking  a  little  bite  and  throwing

Well,  people  got  the  message. 
In  fact,  they  were  pretty  scared, 
and  for  a  while  they  made  sure 
that  no  one  ever  broke  off  more  of 
the  sky  than  he  could  eat.  But 
slowly  they  began  to  forget. 
One  day.  a  man  came  by  and 
broke  off  a  chunk  big  enough  to 
feed  forty  people  for  a  month. 
He  took  a  few  little  bites,  licked 


around  the  edges,  threw  the  rest 
over  his  shoulder,  and  walked  on 
down  the  road  just  as  happy  and 
dumb  as  anything  you've  ever 
seen.  Well,  the  sky  didn't  say  a 
word,  but  with  a  great  roar,  the 
sky  lifted  itself  up  as  high  as  it 
could,  and  that  was  pretty  high. 

When  the  people  realized  what 
was  happening,  they  began  cry- 


ing and  pleading  with  the  sky  to 
come  back.  They  promised  that 
they  would  never  do  it  again,  but 
the  sky  acted  like  it  didn't  hear  a 
word. 

The  next  day,  the  people  didn't 
have  a  thing  to  eat,  and  they  had 
to  go  to  work  to  feed  themselves, 
and  that's  why  man  is  working  to 
this  very  day.

Black  Unions: 
Bridges  Or  Barriers 
In  Church  Relations? 


Today  among  many  Black  SDA 
ministers  and  laymen,  there  is  a 
growing  interest  in  further  refin- 
ing the  church  organization  to 
facilitate  greater  attention  to  the 
peculiar  needs  and  interests  of 
the  Black  mission.  At  least  one 
level  of  Black  leaders,  the  con- 
ference presidents,  are  solidly  re- 
commending that  this  come  in  the 
form  of  black  unions, 

I  think  that  the  formation  of 
Black  unions  would  probably 
result  in  a  greater  division  be- 
tween Blacks  and  Whites  in  the 
church.  It  would  seem  that  the 
church  must  now  face  the  ques- 
tion of  the  sociological  compatibil- 
ity of  all  men  in  Christ,  SDA's  do 
not  have  a  clear  concept  of  how 
race  fits  into  the  Christian  ethic. 
Thus,  it  is  difficult  for  them  to 
know  how  to  deal  with  differences 
between  races.  The  church  must 
examine  its  commitment  to  the 
unity  of  the  worshipping  com- 
munity or  face  the  judgement  of 
an  already  skeptical  world  upon  a 
church  admitting  defeat  in  the 
essential  area  of  brotherhood. 

The  immediate  question  is: 
will   Black   unions   as   currently 
proposed  to  the  GC  really  support 
the  need  of  the  Black  work? 

Ellen  White  wrote  an  appeal 
around  1905  entitled  "Our  Duty 
to  the  Colored  People."  Inlt  she 
said  "You  have  no  license  from 
God  to  exclude  the  Colored 
people  from  your  places  of  wor- 
ship They  should  hold  mem- 
bership in  the  church  with  the 
White  brethren  ....  Men  have 
thought  it  necessary  to  plan  in 
such  a  way  as  to  meet  the  prej- 
udice of  the  White  people;  and  a 
wall  of  separation  in  religious 
worship  has  been  built  up  be- 
tween the  Colored  people  and  the 

White  people." 

About  this  time  there  was  oe- 
Hinning  in  the  South  a  resurgence 
fracifl  antagonism  which  spread 
across  the  country.  By  1908  he 
hatred  and  violence  had  swo  en 
to  a  fever  pitch.   That  year  Ellen 


White  wrote  from  Australia,  "In 
regard  to  White  and  Colored 
people  worshipping  in  the  same 
building,  this  cannot  be  followed 
as  a  general  custom  with  profit  to 
either  party  -  especially  in  the 
South,  The  best  thing  will  be  to 
provide  the  Colored  people  who 
accept  the  truth  with  places  of 
worship  of  their  own  in  which 
they  can  carry  on  their  services  by 
themselves.  That  is  particularly 
necessary  in  the  South  in  order 
that  the  work  for  the  White  peo- 
ple may  be  carried  on  without 
serious  hindrance," 

What  caused  such  a  drastic 
hirnabout  in  Mrs.  White's  think- 
ing? It  was  doubtless  her  aware- 
ness of  the  dreadful  situation 
which  then  existed  and  threat- 
ened to  get  worse  for  the  Negro  in 
the  South.  It  was  out  of  such  a 
climate  of  lynchings  and  mob- 
bings  that  Mrs.  White  gave  her 
counsel  of  separate  work  for  the 
"present  distress."  While  put- 
ting together  material  for  Volume 


9  of  Testimonies  To  The  Church, 

Mrs.  White  penned  these  words, 
"Let  them  be  shown  that  this  is 
done,  not  to  exclude  them  from 
worshipping  with  White  people 
because  they  are  Black,  but  in 
order  that  the  progress  of  the 
truth  may  be  advanced.  Let  them 
understand  that  this  plan  is  to  be 
followed  until  the  Lord  shows  as  a 
better  way." 

I  believe  that  the  time  for  a 
better  way  has  come.  The  policy 
of  segregation  first  adopted  for 
the  sake  of  advancing  the  gospel 
has  come  to  be  taken  so  for 
granted  that  probably  a  majority 
of  SDA  members  believe  it  to  be  a 
fundamental  teaching  of  the 
church.  But  Ellen  White  stated 
that  this  arrangement  was  tem- 
porary and  mainly  for  the  South. 
A  serious  question  is  that  of 
whether  the  desire  for  segrega- 
tion has  now  shifted  from  the 
White  community  to  the  Black 
community.  Is  the  problem  of 
barriers  to         community  being 


erected  by  Blacks  themselves? 
This  is  not  to  say  that  there  exists 
no  more  White  racism,  but  is  it 
the  Blacks  now  that  want  to  seg- 
repatc  further  by  forming  Black 

1  feel  that  no  one  should  ever 
implement  a  polic\  or  structure 
that  would  hinder  llie  possibility 
of  fellowship  and  community.  To 
maintain  the  integrity  of  the 
body,  we  cannot  organize  along 
racial  or  nationalistic  lines.  It  is 
too  natural  a  tendency  to  turn 
inward  to  one's  own  interests  to 
the  exclusion  of  the  common 
interest. 

For  purposes  of  reaching  the 
unchurched  it  may  still  be  neces- 
sary to  retain  segregated  congre- 
gations in  some  instances.  But 
when  we  reach  organizational 
levels,  Christianity  should  have 
prepared  us  for  equal  privileges 
of  participation  in  the  government 
of  the  church.

Misplaced  Iconolatry 


Dear  Editor: 

1  find  the  controversy  over  the 
Pra>Tng  Hands  sculpture  amusing 
to  say  the  least.  Especially  since 
this  sculpture  is  not  costing  any 
student  on  this  campus  one  thin 
dime  of  hard-to-come-by  tuition 
money. 

Every  year  there  seems  to  be  a 

need  for  some  kind  of  issue  for 
"concerned"  people  to  kick 
around.  Since  notWng  else  im- 
portant has  loomed  on  the 
horizon.  1  suppose  the  Praying 
Hands  must  suffer  the  brunt  of 
the  need  to  make  an  issue  out  of 
something. 


With  all  the  negative  opinions 


drawn  to  experience  God  in  his 
own  way.  And  isn't  experiencing 
God  the  better  part  of  life? 

Sincerely, 
Ray  Hartwell 

P.S.  However,  I  would  enjoy 
seeing  the  Praying  Hands  placed 
in  a  different  location  on  campus 
than  the  mall.

After  all.  it  loo  is  art;  but  no  one  is 
shouting  "Iconolatry." 
Presumedly  it  must  be  felt  the 
painting  is  a  contributing  factor  to 
the  asthetic  diminsion  of  this 
campus,  and  it  symbolizes  some- 
thing this  campus  stands  for. 


A  purpose  of  art.  it  seems,  is  to 
encourage  one  to  think  of.  and 
look  at  human  experience  and 
emotions  in  a  new  or  different 
way.  If  one  is  to  look  at  the 
Praying  Hands  sculpture  and  dis- 
agree with  the  views  of  the  sculp- 
tor, the  observer  is  led  to  think  of 
how  his  own  view  of  God  is

niursday,  Febmary  I,  1978  THE  SOITTHERN  ACCENT  -  7 


Chapel  this,  chapel  that,  chapel 
plus  comment,  chapel  minus  com- 
ment. When  will  it  all  end? 

This  has  been  a  subject  of  my 
thoughts  for  some   time   now. 
There  have   been    quite   a    few 
letters  to  the  editor  printed  about 
this  lately.   Have  you  noticed? 

The  contents  of  these  letters 
ranged  from  "grow  up  and  shut 
up!,"  to  "why  don't  you  make  the 
staff  go,"  to  "why  should  we 
have  to  go  in  the  f^rst  place?" 
And  to  these  letters  I  would  like  to 
address  this  week's  column. 

If  you'll  notice,  everyone  wants 
to  complain,  but  no  one  has  a  very 
practical   relevant    solution.        1 

lid  also  like  to  have  you  con- 
.._.T  the  attitudes  in  these  let- 
ters. How  would  you  react? 

'Grow  up  and  shut  up"  is  not  a 
very  grown  up  way  to  get  people 
to  respect  the  rights  of  others.  (I 
want  it  to  be  publicly  known  that 
the  person  who  wrote  that  letter  is 
my  friend,  but  if  they  want  to  get 
down  to  the  brass  tacks  of  the 
matter-that's  no  way  to  do  busi- 
ness.) 

I  also  think  that  it  is  totally 
outrageous  for  someone  to  write 
the  Accent  ami  demand  that  the

''■'?f,*''-d  and  final  comment  I 
would  hke  to  address  myself  to  is 

why  should  we  the  student  body 
have  mandatory  chapels  in  the 
first  place?" 

Well,  the  answer  is  really  quite 
simple.  This  is  a  Christian  col- 
lege, founded  on  Christ,  And 
attending  SMC  is  more  than 
going  to  college,  it  is  also  sup- 
posed to  help  you  grow  in  your 
Christian  experience.  When  you 
came  here  you  agreed  to  go  by  all 
the  rules  and  requirements  of  the 
catalog;  and  chapel  requirements 
are  plainly  stated. 

If  you  don't  want  to  go  to 
chapel,  go  to  a  public  college 
where  it  is  not  requiredl 

1  find  myself  slipping  in  my 
own  personal  Christian  experi- 
ence from  time  to  time,  and  I'm 
sure  this  happens  to  you  also.

The  mandatory  chapels  and  wor- 
ships help  to  bridge  the  gap  that  a 
lack  of  discipline  creates. 

Let  me  publicly  propose  an  idea 
Ididnts,iyiiwouldbc  the  besi. 
"'  ''■''"  "'s  not  just  another 
complaint.  |„s,ead  of  com- 
planung.  why  don't  you  send  in 
suggestions  on  how  to  make  it 
better?! 

1.  Offer  one  credit  per  semes- 
ter for  attending  chapel  and  pas- 
sing a  test. 

a.)  The  test  could  be  given 
right  on  the  chapel  card. 

b.)  The  test  would  be  given  on 
the  chapel  just  before  vacations 
and  semester  break.  (This  would 
be  to  keep  people  from  skipping 
the  last  chapel). 

c.)  The  test  would  be  over  the 
previous  chapel  periods.  (No 
assignments-just    listening    and 


ntile  taking). 

d.)  A  student  could  get  a  total 
of  two  hours  towards  graduation. 

e.)  Credit  would  only  be  given 
il  the  student  gets  a  "C"  grade  or 


uld  be 


better. 

2.     A  small  charge  v 
made  like  $10  per  hour.

lowers, let's  see  what  happens 
from  here.

Physical  exercise  should  be  in-

exercise  can  increase  both  your 
endurance  and  preparedness  for 
emergencies.  Tasks  that  are  part 
of  your  daily  life  can  become  less 
fatiguing.  Periodic  tasks  per- 
formed at  levels  of  intensity  or 
duration  below  your  endurance 
limit  will  be  more  effective  and 
less  fatiguing,  if  you  jog  five 
miles  a  day.  walking  to  and  from 
classes  wouldn't  be  difficult. 

Regular  exercise  can  make  you 
feel  better.  The  blood  circulates 
through  your  body  and  invig- 
orates the  nerves,  muscles,  and 
the  synapses  of  the  brain. 
Your  studies  will  not  seem  so

exactly  how  it  happened.  As

must  have  tackled  someone  or  he 
vfas  tackled,  high  on  the  shoul- 
der. Anyway,  both  boys  seemea 
to  have  flipped  over  and  Randy 
landed  on  his  head  or  neck." 

Last  week  in  an  interview,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Peterson  of  Miami, 
Fla.,  discussed  the  football  ac- 
cident which  since  last  Decetnber 
has  left  their  son  Randy,  a  fresh- 
man psychology  major,  para- 
lyzed. 

When  Randy  was  taken  into 
Erlanger  hospital,  doctors  found 
that  his  neck  had  been  broken. 
He  had  some  feeling  and  move- 
ment in  the  fingers  of  his  right 
hand. 

"That  was  the  19th  of  Decem- 
ber. Right  now,  though,  he 
doesn't  seem  able  to  move  them. 
The  doctor  said,  too,  that  there

Randy's  spirits  have  been 
Pre«y  good,  all  things  consTd 
"ed,  up  until  the  past  few 
weeks,  continued  Mr.  Peterson. 
However  he  now  has  to  have  an 
arttflcal  breathing  device,  and 
his  discourages  him.  I  don't 
think  he  knows  yet,  but  the  doctor 
has  sa,d  that  there  is  a  chance 
tnat  he  may  not  ever  be  able  to 
breath  on  his  own  again." 

Randy  at  present  has  regained 
some  feeling  in  the  collarbone 
region  approximately  four  inches 
below  his  shoulders.  Hehasbeen-

dent, his  doctor  stating  that  he 
would  be  happy  if  Randy's  tem- 
perature could  be  stabUized  at 
101  degrees.

lower  the  temperature,  but  when 
they  are  discontinued  it  goes  right

Several  doctors  have  been  call- 
ed m  on  Randy's  case.  A  special- 
ist in  spmal  injury  is  expected  to 
examine  him  sometime  in  the 
near  future.  He  wUI  make  further 
recommendations  as  to  when 
Kandy  may  be  moved  out  of  state 
to  one  of  two  centers  either  in 
Denver  or  Houston,  which  spe- 
cialize m  spinal  cord  injuries. 

"We  would  like  to  get  Randy  to 
the  Craig  Hospital  in  Depver,  but 
until  the  specialist  arrives,  we 
won't  know  really  when  he  can  be 
moved,"  said  Mr.  Peterson.  "He 
IS  still  in  Intensive  Care  here." 


'Of  course,  our  youngest 
son  doesn't  really  seem  to  fully

He  knows  something  is  wrong 
with  Randy,  but  isn't  sure  just 
what  it  is.  Our  other  son,  though, 
has  been  hit  quite  hard  by  the 
accident,"  stated  the  mother. 

Mr.  Peterson,  who  is  with  East- 
em  Airiines.  alternates  witt  his 
wife  in  staying  in  Chattanooga 
with  Randy.  Mrs.  Peterson  is 
employed  by  the  Inter-American 
Division  in  the  Miami  office.  She 
stays  Witt  Randy  for  several 
weeks  at  a  time,  and  then  Mr. 
Peterson  arrives  to  be  witt  their 
son  while  she  returns  to  Florida. 
Randy  enjoys  short  visits  from 
college  friends  and  faculty,  al- 
though at  present  he  cannot  have 
visitors  for  long  periods  of  time. 
Elder  Jim  Herman,  campus  chap- 


lain, would  like  to  arrange  trans- 
portation for  students  to  visit  witt

Cjty-Felts  Settlement 
Depends  On  Board 

DJerry  Dick  Lien 

A  proposal  was  recently  formu- 
lated by  the  Citj'  of  Collegedale, 
which  if  agreed  to  by  the  South- 
ern Missionary  College  Board, 
\vouId  end  its  dispute  with  John 
Felts,  publisher  of  The  Qoallty 
Shopper. 

During  construction  of  the  new 
Collegedale  entrance  road,  a  por- 
tion of  land  owned  by  Felts  was 
inadvertently  taken  by  the  city. 

The  new  proposal  suggests  that 
purchase  of  land  be  made  by  the 


city  from  Southern  Missionary 
College.  Approximately  13,000 
square  feet  of  the  purchase, 
which  is  located  adjacent  to  Felts' 
remaining  property,  would  then 
be  given  to  him  in  compensation 
for  that  taken  for  the  road. 

The  College  administration  has 
made  this  recommendation  to  the 
Board  of  Trustees  and  the  fate  of 
the  proposal  hangs  upon  their 
decision  which  is  expected  on 
Feb.  16.

■>  -  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  Thursday,  February  9,  ivo  ^^ 

SA  Treasurer  Proposes  Plan 
To  Chop  Budget  Spending 


For  the  months  I  have  been 
involved  with  the  Student  Associ- 
ation I  have  been  confronted  with 
the  same  problem  that  has 
plagued  ever>'  student  govern- 
ment since  their  inception  —  how 
to  improve  performance  of  the 
officers  while  simultaneously 
keeping  officer's  stipends  down 
to  a  controllable  minimum. 

In  the  past,  this  situation  has 
not  been  solved  to  the  satisfaction 
of  all  and  probably  will  never  be. 
However,  1  would  like  to  propose 
a  svstem  which,  if  acceptable  to 
the  Academic  Dean's  Office, 
would  remove  this  inherent 
dichotomy. 

My  proposal  is  simply  this: 
There  are  certain  positions  in  the 
SA  whicli,  if  under  the  jurisdic- 
tion of  the  depai^ment  heads, 
could  be  classified  as  deserving 
academic  credit.  The  offices  1  am 
speaking  of  are  the  executive 
secretary,  the  treasurer,  the  ed- 
itor of  Southern  Memories,  and 
the  editor  of  The  Southern 
Accent.  Each  one  of  these  offices 
calls  for  the  application  of  the 
skills  which  have  been  taught  the 
officer  earlier  in  his  college 

For  instance,  the  secretary 
takes  dictation,  writes  letters, 
edits  the  Campus  Chatter  and 
takes  care  of  the  clerical  needs  of 
the  executive  offices.    The  trea- 


surer must  know  how  to  set  up 
books  in  the  most  streamlined 
manner,  and  he  must  also  know 
how  to  compile  monthly  state- 
ments in  a  clear  and  concise 
manner.  He  must  be  ready  to 
answer  for  major  deviations  and 
to  present  them  orally  to  the 
student  senate.  The  yearbook 
editor  must  know  how  to  coord- 
inate his  photographers,  layout 
editors,  and  other  personnel  in 
order  to  present  an  acceptable 
yearbook  at  the  year's  end,  in 
addition  to  running  by  a  budget 
given  him.  The  college  paper 
editor  must  be  able  to  find  points 
of  interest  for  the  student  as  well 
as  reporting  on  the  events  that 
affect  the  student  body.  In  addi- 
tion, the  Accent  editor  must  also 
learn  to  coordinate  his  staff  as 
well  as  meeting  deadlines  and 
running  by  a  budget.  In  other 
words,  the  two  editors'  jobs  are 


excellent' applications  similar 
the  publishing  industry. 

The  advantages  of  my  proposed 
system  are  manifold.  First  of  all, 
if  this  system  were  implemented, 
the  budget  could  be  cut  by  at  least 
$2,240  or  four  per  cent  as  shown 
in  the  chart  below. 

This  is  only  four  offices.  If  the 
Joker  editors  and  the  president 
could  be  added  it  would  result  in  a 
larger  cut  —  maybe  up  to  five  or 
ten  per  cent  of  the  budget. 

Besides  the  budget  advantage, 
I  feel  this  system  would  promote 
more  efficiency  in  the  duties 
being  performed,  due  to  in- 
creased departmental  supervision 
and  help  to  the  officers.  Another 
advantage  I  see  in  performance, 
is  that  the  officer  would  not  be 
concerned  primarily  with  just  get- 
ting the  annual,  paper,  report,  or 
letter  out,  but  would  be  aware 


that  the  work  he  is  doing  would 
have  bearing  on  the  grade  he 
receives  for  the  hour  taken. 

Also,  when  registering  for  the 
class  in  these  applied  areas,  the 
officer  would  normally  plan  to 
take  less  hours  in  order  to  hold  his 
total  hours  of  coursework  down, 
thereby  more  intimately  forcing 
one  of  the  above  positions  into  his 
schedule. 

This  is  my  plan.  One  that  I  feel 
.will  help  put  the  Student  Associ- 
ation in  a  more  manageable  posi- 
tion and  will  use  the  money  with 
which  we  are  entrusted  more  ec- 
onomically.

GC  Emphasizes 
Colporteuring  For 

Seminarians 

DMathew  Staver 

The  General  Conference  has  re- 
affirmed a  resolution  in  the  1977 
Annual  Council  which  requires  all 
ministerial  candidates  who  will  be 
receiving  a  sponsorship  to  the 
Andrews  Seminary  to  have  com- 
pleted three  months  of  literature 
evangelism  or  350  hours. 

This  requirement  will  apply  to 
all  ministerial  students  complet- 
ing their  work  after  Sept.  1,  1978. 

According  to  Dr.  Douglas  Ben- 
nett, professor  of  religion,  the 
Council  sees  a  close  connection 
between  the  work  of  a  colporteur 
and  that  of  the  minister,  and  feels 
that  the  literature  work  would 
provide  a  helpful  preparation  for 
work  in  the  ministry.

A  Faith  For  Today  Westbrook 
Hospital  episode  has  won  a  Siv- 
ver  Plaque  award  in  the  1977 
Chicago  International  Film  Festi- 
val- 
James  Hannum.  former  SMC 
communications  professor  and 
now  Faith  For  Today's  executive 
producer,  visited  the  campus  last 
week  and  showed  the  film  in 
various  classes. 

The  award-winning  program, 
Hear  the  Sunrise,  was  written  and 
directed  by  Faith  For  Today's 
Gary  Haynes.  Cinematographer 
and  film  editor  was  Spencer  Gor- 
don of  the  SDA  Radio,  TV,  and 
Film  Center's  Production  Ser- 
vices Department. 

Hear  the  Sonrlse  is  the  story  of 
two  elderly  ladies  taken  against 
their  will  from  their  mountain 
cabin  to  a  nursing  home.  The 
story  teaches  respect  for  the 
rights  of  man  and  implies  God's 
attitude  toward  man  and  his  free- 
dom of  choice.  The  program  was 
aired  last  fall. 

The  film  was  entered  in  the  film 
festival  to  increase  the  visibility  of 
the  Westbrook  Hospital  series 
and  SDA  leaders  in   film   and 


television.

/?//py/  Editorial 


SA  IS  NOT  DEFUNCT       ^^.Hi^j^red  Christian      SA  Essential 

_    .  _u, _...,.: .«„.  „n„  r,n  find  an  article  or  editonal         l\WV-IN.     •    llll««'    ^^ 


Each  year  about  this  same  time  you  can  find  an  article  or  ed.tona 
which  seks  to  concern  itself  with  the  overall  status  of  the  Student 
Association.  Usually  these  articles  are  written  from  a  negative 
N-iewpoint  by  someone  who  may  perhaps  not  be  acquamted  with 
certain  functions  the  Association  provides. 

However  valid  or  invalid  such  reports  are,  it  is  a  healthy  situation 
for  the  SA  program  to  be  reviewed.  By  no  means  does  the  SA  stand 
above  internal  or  external  evaluation.  But  to  be  of  practical  value 
constructive  criticism  must  be  factual,  properly  researched,  and 
provide  feasible  alternatives  where  possible.  More  often  than  not, 
this  isn't  what  happens.  „    ^    , 

Today,  more  than  ever  before,  students  actually  do  have  a  voice 
and  a  vote  in  school  matters.  Not  only  do  students  regularly  attend  as 
voting  members  on  standing  faculty  committees,  but  they  also 
function  in  financial  policy  and  planning  committees.  Students  can 
and  do  make  valuable  suggestions  in  the  operation  of  SMC. 

As  the  school  system  meticulously  reviews  its  financial  status  this 
year,  the  SA  is  doing  the  same.  Any  plans  that  call  for  volunteer 
officers,  abolishing  the  SA,  etc.,  simply  aren't  true.  Student 
government  carries  substantial  influence  in  academic,  social,  and 
religious  affairs  of  the  college.  Student  government  is  not  a  luxury, 
but  a  necessity. 

But  just  where  or  what  does  the  SA  do  with  its  money? 
Over  half  of  the  budget  is  spent  toward  publications.  Student 
activities  and  social  endeavors  takes  its  piece.  Projects  such  as  the 
new  tennis  court  lights  installed  this  year,  the  village  lockers,  the 
Student  Center  redecoration  all  use  their  fair  share,  and  the  list  could 
go  on. 

New  candidates  will  be  campaigning  soon  for  SA  offices.  A  few 
will  promise  and  a  few  will  offer  reasonable  objectives.  Some  will 
buck  the  system  and  others  will  seek  to  improve  it.  Whatever  the 
case,  you  need  to  be  certain  that  you  look  intelligently  at  all  sides  of 
the  issues  and  platforms. 

Student  government  is  alive,  and  although  it  has  its  weaknesses, 
it  is  actively  functioning  at  SMC.  Perhaps  if  your  personal  opinion  of 
the  SA  doesn't  even  register  —  you  need  to  take  a  closer  look.

Dear  Editor: 

Just  last  night  I  had  the  oppor- 
tunity to  go  to  the  Imperial  Roller 
Skating  Rink.  I  hadn't  been 
skating  for  some  time  and  it  was 
my  desire  to  get  away  from  school 
a  few  hours  to  get  some  much- 
needed  and  enjoyable  exercise. 

I  had  been  informed  that  when 
the  college  had  gone  there  last 
semester,  we  had  taken  our  own 
music,  music  which  was  much 
softer  than  that  which  was  played 
last  night.  Therefore,  there  was 
no  reason  for  me  to  refrain  from 
indulging  in  going. 

1  don't  know  how  many  stu- 
dents while  there  went  to  ask  if 
there  was  any  other  music  that 
could  be  played  and  I'm  in  no 
position  to  condemn  anyone  of 
the  student  body  who  was  there 
and  said  nothing.  Music  itself  is  a 
very  touchy  subject. 

But  I  ask,  is  it  right  to  expect 
that  everyone  who  goes  skating  to 
like  rock  music?  Why  was  that 
junk  the  only  music  played?  Why 
wasn't  any  other  more  creative 
music  with  a  beat  for  skating 
brought? 

For  me  personally,  1  reacted  to 
the  stuff  that  was  played  angrily. 
I  can't  stand  it.  Rosea  14:2  says, 
"Take  with  you  words  and  turn  to 
the  Lord;  say  unto  Him,  'Take 
away  all  iniquity;  and  receive  us 
graciously..." 

Anything  that  takes  us  away 
from  God  is  not  good.  Last  night, 
I  feit  a  wall  of  separation  I  have 
not  felt  so  strongly  in  some  time. 
The  music  had  a  lot  to  do  with  it. 
Perhaps  I'm  making  a  moun- 
tain out  of  a  mole  hill;  perhaps. 


But.  I  want  to  go  Home.  Last 
night  did  not  exactly  contribute  to 
that  homeward  journey. 

Sincerely, 

J.  Arthur  Garrison 

9  AM  Abuse 

Dear  Editor: 

1  am  concerned  about  the 
chapels  just  as  a  lot  of  others  are. 

.  Week  after  week  I  have  taken  my 
Bible  with  me  to  chapels  and  not 
been  able  to  follow  along  with  the 
speaker  in  the  Bible,  because  he 
did  not  use  it. 

What  are  chapels?      What  is 
involved  in   a   chapel   period? 
When  I  think  of  chapel,  I  think  of 
a  time  devoted  to  "Be  still,  and 
know  that  I  am  God." 

Maybe  I'm  deceived,  though, 
because  "the  majority  of  the 
chapels  have  been  used  for  hu- 
man philosphy  and  advertising. 
Seems  to  me  that  Ingathering, 

,  summer  evangelism,  literature 
evangelism,  Nicaragua,  and  etc., 
etc..  could  meet  some  other  place 
at  a  different  time. 

This  school  has  a  corp  of  quali- 
fied people  that  can  speak  at 
chapels.  Jim  Herman  is  one  of 
the  few  speakers  I  enjoy  listening 
to  at  chapels.  Oh,  by  the  way,  he 
preaches  from  the  Bible.  Possibly 
I  he  could  teach  somebody  some- 
'  thing. 

I  don't  make  an  appeal  to  do 
away  with  chapels,  I'm  pleading 
to  bring  God  back  into  them. 

John  McKinney 


Dear  Editor: 

After  reading  Mark  Ford's  ed- 
itorial I  must  express  that  I  am 
glad  to  see  a  concerned  interest 
for  our  Student  Association.  It 
was  refreshing  to  see  an  opinion 
printed  that  did  more  than  just 
state  a  problem.  Included  in  the 
editorial  were  alternate  ideas  that 
our  Student  Association  money 
could  be  used  for.  I  believe  that 
any  well  presented  suggestion  for 
improvement  should  be  consid- 
ered and  not  thrown  out  just 
because  it  calls  for  change. 

However,  I  do  not  believe  that 
we  are  headed  for  a  "clipped- 
down  SA"  as  was  expressed  in 
the  editorial.  The  editorial 
brought  out  the  fact  that  "the 
crunch  is  on  and  the  administra- 
tion must  shoulder  the  task  of 
weeding  out  the  luxuries  of  our 
campus  life  in  order  to  preserve 
anything  at  all." 

I  certainly  do  not  consider  the 
Student  Association  a  luxury  item 
on  our  campus.  In  fact  I  see,  in 
the  near  future,  if  the  Artist 
Adventure  Series  has  to  cut  back 
due  to  lack  of  funds,  the  import- 
ance of  a  larger  role  that  the  SA 
must  play  in  providing  quality 
activities  for  the  students. 

And  let's  face  it,  the  students 
want  to  see  something  or  any- 
thing that  their  SA  is  doing  for 
them.  Committees  and  senate 
meetings  have  their  place  only  if 
they  are  producing  enjoyable 
activities  that  meets  the  needs  of 
the  individual  student. 

Sincerely, 

Dave  Cress 


Thorn  Thumbs  Down  On   Accent 


Dear  Editor: 

Very  soon.  SA  elections  will  be 
upon  us  and  we  students  will  be 
hard  put  to  decide  who  to  vote 
into  what  leadership  position.' 
One  of  those  positions  is  that  of 
Soathem  Accent  editor.  It  is  here 
that  1  wish  to  focus  my  discussion. 
I  feel  it  my  responsibility  to  call 
attention  to  what  has  been  this 
year's  editoral  policy.  Every  in- 
dividual who  reads  this  will  have 
to  decide  whether  they  agree  with 
it  and  whether  or  not  it  will  be  an 
issue  for  platform  in  the  ap- 
proaching election. 

Late  in  November,  I  ap- 
proached Vinita  Wayman.  the 
editor,  about  the  possibility  of 
sending  a  photographer  and  re- 
porter to  Sabbath  School  on  De- 
cember 4  in  order  to  give  covei^ 
age  to  the  Christmas  program, 
which  was  no  ordinary  Sabbath 
School.  I  was  politely  informed 
that  editoral  policy  for  this  year 
states  that  nothing  which  is  past 
will  appear  in  the  Accent.  Only 
information  concerning  future  e- 
vents  are  to  be  printed. 

Now,  I  question:  What  is  the 
purpose  of  a  newspaper?  Is  llie 
Soathern  Accent  a  newspaper  or 
an  information  sheet?  As  I  see  it, 
a  newspaper  is  to  report  on  what 


has  happened  as  well  as  what  will 
happen  in  relation  to  the  com- 
munity it  serves.  If  the  Accent  is 
limited  to  future  events  only,  then 
it  is  no  more  than  an  expensive 
sequel  to  the  Campus  Chatter. 

■There  is  another  matter  that  I 
think  should  be  considered.  Last 
week  1  wanted  an  announcement 
in  the  Accent  about  an  upcoming 
Sabbath  School  program.  1  was 
informed  that  it  could  be  inserted 
■in  the  classifieds.  To  my  way  of 
thinking.  Sabbath  School  is  not  a 
classified.  When  this  opinion  was 
expressed  Vinita  asked,  "Where 
would  yoa  put  it,  on  the  front 
page?"  So  I  didn't  give  the 
announcement  to  the  paper.  Sab- 


bath School,  particularly  college 
Sabbath  School,  is  more  impor- 
tant than  just  about  any  headline 
we  have  had  this  year.  What  are 
our  goals  and  where  is  our 
priority? 

I  urge  each  student  to  weigt) 
carefully  each  candidate's  plat- 
form before  he  or  she  casts  a  vote 
for  when  that  vote  is  cast  and  the 
candidate  elected,  it  affects  this 
college  for  sometime.  The  Accent 
is  PR  for  this  college,  whether 
good  or  bad.  And  whether  we 
want  to  admit  it  or  not,  each  sna 
every  one  of  us  ate  affected  oy 
our  PR.

A  Little  Reminder 


Dear  Editor: 

It  would  be  much  appreciated  if 
something  could  be  done  about 
the  hot  water  situation  (the  lack  of 
it)  in  the  new  wing  of  Talge  Hall. 

1  realize  that  there  are  many 
concerns  that  the  Engineering 
Department  has  to  cope  with 
daily,  but  this  matter  is  of  vital 
concern  to  the  men  involved  here 
in  Taige.  Hot  water  for  showers 
is  not  a  luxury  on  these  cold 
winter  mornings  and  evenings, 
but  a  necessity. 

I  have  appreciated  the  action 
taken  in  the  past  during  the 
breakdowns  of  the  gasline  into 
Collegedale.  I  am  confident  that 
the  situation  will  receive  prompt 
response  in  the  future. 

Please  note  this  letter  was  not 
composed  in  a  spirit  of  anger;  ic  is 
simply  a  reminder  to  our  capable 

We  Love 
You  Except-- 

Dear  Editor: 

I'm  not  one  to  complain,  but 
litis  thing  of  no  hot  water  is 
getting  to  be  a  pain  -  a  literal 
physical  pain!  I  love  the  school 
and  it's  warm  atinosphere,  but 
I'm  not  at  all  crazy  about  it's  cold 
water. 

I  live  on  the  second  floor  of  the 
new  wing,  and  every  morning  I'm 
convinced  the  governor  has  struck 
again  -  but  lo  and  behold,  other 
in  one  way  or  another  in  sending 
smell  too  bad  either.  It  some- 
thing isn't  done  soon  the  govern- 
ment is  going  to  be  down  on  us  for 
air  pollution. 

1  honestly  wouldn't  be  saying 
anything,  but  it  has  always  been 
this  way.  Once  in  a  while  is 
understandable,  but  you  can  de- 
pend on  the  water  being  cold  just 
when  you  want  and  need  to  take  a 
shower. 

I  fail  to  see  why  this  situation 
Msn  tbeen  corrected  before  now, 

he  problem  should  have  been 
nwdled  quickly  and  efficiently  by

Warm  & 
Loving  Men 

Dear  Editor: 

Maybe  they  are  putting  us  to 
the  test  -  seeing  how  cold  we  can 
get  while  taking  a  shower  -  yet 
still  be  nice  warm,  loving  stu- 
dents on  the  outside.  Cold 
showers  do  get  old  though. 

Timothy  Eberhardt 


Cold  At  65 

Dear  Editor: 

It  comes  to  my  attention  every 
morning  that  our  hot  water  is  no 
longer  hot.  We  (the  sufferers  of 
cold  showers)  are  fed  up.  We've 
called  Engineering,  flooded  the 
deans  with  questions,  and  cried 
aloud  every  morning  to  no  avail, 

Now  I  don't  know  ifits  right  for 
us  to  ask  for  such  a  simple  thing 
as  hot  water,  but  for  $65  a  month 
and  with  over  a  year  to  correct 
this  aggravating  problem,  1  think 
It  s  time  for  hot  water  to  flow 
forth  from  our  faucets  at  least 
most  of  the  time. 

So  we've  gone  public,  pleading 
for  your  assistance.  Time  for 
action.

Question 


HAVE   YOU  SEEN  'STAR  WARS'  YET? 


Answer 


DGaiy  WiDiams 

"Have  you  seen  Star  Wars?" 
someone  recently  asked  me.  My 
reply  was.  "No,"  but  that  ques- 
tion made  me  do  a  lot  of  thinking 
about  movie  attendance  and  the 
SMC  student  body. 

It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  a 
majority  on  this  campus  go  to 
movies.  Because  of  this,  we  face 
an  apparent  contradiction  of  what 
we  profess  and  what  we  do. 

On  pages  12  and  13  of  the  SMC 
Catalog  there  is  a  section  on 
"Standard  of  Conduct."  Movie 
attendance  is  listed  as  unbecom- 
ing for  a  Christian.  This  is  a 
reflection  of  pages  228  and  229  of 
the  Church  Manual:  in  view  of 
these  statements  it  seems  that  the 
majority  are  not  in  harmony  with 
the  teachings  of  the  church  or  the 
standards  of  the  College. 

Why  should  there  be  such  un- 
becoming behavior  on  the  part  of 
so  many?  Many  would  say  that 
we  live  in  a  sinful  age.  But  it  is 
no  more  sinful  than  the  Pre-flood 


Age.    In  comparison  to  them  we 
are  saints. 

Television,  on  the  other  hand, 
is  a  good  reason,  or  should  I  say, 
excuse.  When  it  comes  down  to 
it,  there  is  no  difference  in  watch-_ 


"In  degrees  of  sin, 
TV  must  be  rated 
near  the  top,  while 
movies  would  be  near 
the  bottom." 


movie.  In  the  case  of  the 
you  don't  have  to 
cials  or  fight  the  temptation  to 
keep  watching  it  hours  at  a  time  -- 
day  in  and  day  out.  In  degrees  of 
sin,  television  must  be  rated  near 
the  top,  while  movies  would  be 
near  the  bottom  (if  you  view  them 
to  be  sin). 

Someone  may  say  that  the 
schools  have  failed  their  purpose. 
I  don't  think  so.  An  educational 
system  can  be  only  as  moral  as 
the  people  who  make  it. 

So  Where's  the  problem?  In  the

Arranged  as  poetry  from  Ministry  of  Healing 


True  education  includes 
the  whole  being. 
It  teaches 

the  right  use  of  one's  self. 
It  enables  us 
to  make  the  best  use  of

heart. 


The  faculties  of  the  mind, 

-as  the  higher  powers- 
are  to  rule  the  kingdom  of  the  body. 

Christ  stands  at  the  head  of  humanity, 
and  it  is  His  purpose 

to  lead  us, 

in  His  service, 

into  high,  holy  paths  of  purity. 

By  the  wondrous  working

home.  Children  are  the  result  of 
the  parents  -  what  they  are  can 
be  seen  in  what  their  children  do. 
So  we  have  a  general  view  of  the 
church  but  what  about  the  SMC 
student?  Can  we  expect  more 
from  him  or  her  than  the  general 
membership?  Should  we  try  to 
implant  the  principles  of  the  Bible 
and  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy  into 
minds  tliat  vvil)  abandon  them  as 
soon  as  they  leave  SMC? 

It  takes  a  lot  to  live  for  God  in  a 
worid  that  has  forgotten  Him.  It 
takes  a  lot  to  live  for  Him  in  a 
church  that  enjoys  the  world  so 
much. 

What  can  we  do  to  help  solve 
this  apparent  contradiction  in 
what  we  have  in  writing  and  in 
what  we  do  day  by  day?  Here  are 
a  few  recommendations: 


"Throw  our  SMC 
catalogs  into  the 
gart)agecan.  We 
could  build  our  own 
theatre.  It'dbea 
sellout  every 
weekend." 


1).  We  throw  our  catalogs  and 
manuals  into  the  garbage  can. 

2).  We  give  up  our  old- 
fashioned  ideas  about  sin  and 
morality  and  enjoy  life  -  be  it 
movies,  dancing,  sex  -  whatever 
turns  you  on,  do  it. 

3).  We  should  do  these  activi- 
ties as  a  group  --  it's  more  fun 
that  way.  We  could  reserve 
nights  at  tneatres,  Playlate  clubs, 
bars  and  have  a  blast  --  talk  about 
fun! 

4).  We  could  build  our  own 
SMC  Theatre  (wouldn't  the  Fine 
Arts  complex  be  perfect  for  that?) 
It  would  be  a  sellout  every  week- 
end (not  counting  Sabbath  of 
course).

1  could  go  on  but  I  am  sure  that 
you  could  add  and  improve  the 
list.  Feel  free  to  do  as  you  please. 

In  closing  I  would  like  to  refer 
you  to  page  60  of  the  Manual. 
Point  24  reads  like  this  -  "In  the 
Christian  life  there  is  complete 
separation  from  worldly  practices 
such  as  card  playing,  theater- 
going,...which  tend  to  deaden 
and  destroy  the  spiritual  life." 

1  believe  the  last  part  reveals 
what  we  have  become.  Before  we 
were  baptized,  we  made  a  vow 
before  God  and  the  congregation 
to  obey  by  grace  these  points. 
We  will  not  be  judged  because  we 
went  to  a  movie  (there's  nothing 
sinful  about  a  movie  per  se)  but 
because  we  broke  the  vow  we 
made  to  God  and  the  church. 


In  my  opinion  this  is  spritiual 
adultery.  Breaking  the  baptismal 
vow  which  has  come  to  mean  as 
httle  as  breaking  ths  marriage 
vow  in  our  age  But  God  feels  ■ 
different  about  it. 


"In  my  opinion  this  is 
spiritual  adultery." 


We  should  re-examine  our  bap- 
tismal vows  and  choose  between 
these  two  alternatives:  serve  God 
by  His  grace  as  we  said  we  would, 
or  drop  our  names  from  member- 
ship. Is  it  that  simple  and  that 
plain?  Think  about  it.

□Debra  Gainer 

We  met  among  the  mountai;is 
ofihe  Student  Center.  I  had  been 
tiying  to  see  him  for  days,  fasci- 
nated by  rumors  of  Rolls-Royces, 
intrigued  by  his  proper  polite 
voice  -  and  having  to  do  an 
interview  for  the  Soothem  Ac- 
rent.  He  stood  to  meet  me  in 
tailored  blue  jeans  and  a  classicly 
understated  white  shirt  em- 
broidered with  a  red  Rolls-Royce 
emblem.  He  introduced  himself 
as  Jeffrey  Havron   and   we   sat 

Jeffrey  is  a  freshman  music 
major  at  SMC,  with  a  hobby  of 
collecting  classic  cars.  He  be- 
rame  interested  in  them  and  ac- 
quired his  first  one  his  senior  year 
otacademy  It  was  a  1963  Rolls, 
slipped  from  England.  He 
brought  along  a  stack  of  black- 
am  «hite  prints  to  show  me,  and 
'  oohed'  and  "aahed"  over  the 
leek  and  elegant  old  thing  Now, 
'//'"'=<)  ft-fn,  black  to  chocolate

«»-ey  plans  to  make  a  fine  pro- 

»  s  quite  a  good  investment, 
ne  informed  me 
^fc  ""-Sf,."?  fact,  the  idea  of 


investments  is  what  got  him 
started  on  Rolls-Royces  in  the 
first  place.  He  had  always  been 
interested  in  profitable  invest- 
ments. He  checked  into  the  stock 
exchange,  art,  antique  furniture, 
old  wines,  and  old  cars.  A  long- 
time liking  for  Rolls-Royces  gave 
him  an  excuse  to  take  the  old  car 
option. 


He's  branching  out  beyond  the 
Rolls  now.  He  traveled  to  Eng- 
land last  summer.  "London 
nearly  killed  me,"  he  said,  "there 
were  Rolls  all  over  the  place."' 
He  bought  a  1953  Bentley,  which 
arrived  in  the  States  the  end  of 
October  Deep  midnight  blue 
with  a  smokey  grey  leather  in 
tenor,  this  is  a  one  of  a-kind  car 
Its  coach  work  done  by  the  highly 
reputable  Mulliner  Company,  it 
has  an  all  aluminum  body,  special 
dashboard  and  rear  suspension 
Jeffrey  brought  out  his  pictures 
again  to  show  ignorant  female  me 
the  difference  between  a  Bentley 
and  a  Rolls  one  has  a  rounded 
radiator,  the  other  is  squi 


Jeffrey  also  owns  a  maroon 
convertible  Lincoln  Continental, 
once  owned  by  the  late  Elvis 
Presley.  This  famous  car  earns 
its  keep  by  being  trucked  around 
to  big  fairs  during  the  summer 
and  admission  being  charged  for 
its  showing.  Smiles  Jeffrey,  "I 
wouldn't  pay  a  dollar  to  see  it,  but 
lots  of  people  do."  He  says  he'll 
sell  the  car  when  it  stops  making 
money  for  him.  Already,  some- 
one has  offered  to  pay  $33,000 
more  for  the  car  than  what  he 
originally  bought  it  for. 

His  other  car  is  a  Volvo  P-1800, 
not  a  particularly  noticeable  col 
lector's  item,  except  that  it  is 
supposedly  the  second  e\er  built 
He  obtained  it  very  inexpensively 
and  It  now  needs  extensive  res- 
toration 


Leafing  through  his  car  catalog, 
termed  the  "antique  auto  bible  ' 
among  collector's  circles,  Jeffrey 
showed  me  a  few  more  facts  I 
discovered  that    Rolls  Royces 


weigh  over  two  tons,  have  V-8 
engines,  and  can  cruise  at  135 
mph.  By  this  time  1  was  quite 
suitably  staggered  by  all  the  clas- 
sic information  -  and  the  inter- 
view was  nearly  over. 


Jeffrey  rose  to  his  feet,  bade 
me  a  fine  afternoon,  smiled  from 
behind  his  light  eyes,  and  walked 
away,  leaving  the  faint  scent  of 
British  Sterling  lingering  in  the

Prof  Garren  Enters 
Congressional  Race 


DJerry  Dick  Lien 

Bob  Garren,  associate  profes- 
sor of  art,  will  officially  announce 
his  candidacy  for  Republican 
nomination  for  3rd  District  Con- 
gressman in  early  March. 

Currently,  the  political  ma- 
chinery of  both  parties  is  gradu- 
ally rambling  into  motion  for  an- 
other race  for  the  congressional 
seat  in  the  Third  District  of  Ten- 
nessee. 

Four  years  ago,  Marilyn  Lloyd 
of  Chattanooga,  a  political  un- 
known, ran  against  and  defeated 
incumbant  Rupublican  Congress- 
man Lamar  Baker. 

Rep.  Lloyd  is  no  longer  the 
unknown.  However,  a  political 
novice  is  once  again  entering  the 
Congressional  race  in  the  person 
of  Robert  F.  Garren,  chairman  of 
the  art  department  at  SMC.  He  is 
now  in  the  process  of  building 
support  among  the  District's  Re- 
publican party  members  and  is 
expected  to  make  official  the  an- 
nouncement of  his  candidacy 
within  a  month. 

Why,  did  Garren  assume  the 
responsibilities  of  a  political  race? 
"I  am  one  of  those  who  for  years 
has  complained  about  the  way  the 
government  is  run.  But  then  1 
realized  that  it's  easy  to  com- 
plain. Anybody  can  do  that. 
However,  1  believe  that  the  only 
way  to  make  a  better  govern- 
ment is  to  become  involved." 

"It  is  in  Congress   that  bills 
affecting  all  of  us  are   made. 
Therefore  1  believe  it  my  duty  to 
run  and  try  to  make  my  voice 
heard."  said  Garren. 

Garten  hopes  to  increase  the 
number  of  conservatives  in  Con- 


and  forming  a  greater  sense  of 
dignity  and  strong  government. 

"People  have  rights  which  I 
believe  are  not  being  fully  repre- 
sented by  some  members  of  Con- 
gress and  the  present  administra- 
tion," he  said.  "For  instance, 
Marilyn  Lloyd  has  voted  for  the 
Labor  Relations  Act  HR-8410 
which  would,  I  believe,  in  effect 
nullify  14-B.  If  this  happened,  a 
large  portion  of  the  labor  force 
that  is  non-union  would  find  their 
jobs  in  jeopardy." 

Garten,  whose  campaign  plat- 
form is  now  in  the  hands  of  legal 
advisors,  plans  to  make  the  e- 
conomy,  energy,  and  tax  prob- 
lems key  issues. 

In  a  speech  last  week  in  Oak 
Ridge  before  the  Anderson 
County  Republican  Women's 
Club,  he  called  for  a  comprehen- 
sive energy  plan.  This,  he  stated, 
should  be  a  matter  of  first  pri- 
ority.   "Alternative  forms  of  en- 


ergy must  be  researched  and  de- 
veloped by  both  government  and 
private  business."  he  said. 

In  the  same  speech  Garren 
called  for  increased  research  and 
funding  of  the  breeder  reactor,  as 
well  as  continued  usage  of  coal- 
fired  power  plants.  He  said  that 
Congresswoman  Lloyd  has  not 
been  able  to  fight  for  such  things 
as  the  breeder  reactor  because 
she  is  a  part  of  the  Democratic 
administration. 

The  candidate  believes  there 
should  be  better  representation  of 
the  ordinary  citizen  and  feels  his 
background  gives  him  the  neces- 
sary qualifications.  Not  bom  with 
the  proverbial  "silver  spoon"  of 
the  rich,  Garten  thinks  he  knows 
perhaps  better  than  many  monied 
politicians  the  needs  of  the  Third 
District.  He  also  states  that  he  is 
not,  therefore,  tied  by  any  conflict 
of  interests.

Editorial 
Endorsements 


In  next  Thursday  and  Friday's  Student  Association  elections,  the 
president  and  vice-president  of  the  student  body  wtl  be  chosen  The 
^^„,  strongly  urges  you  to  vote  for  ^-id  Cress  for  pres.dent  and 
either  Mark  Boddv  or  Melanee  Snowden  for  vice-president.  Our 
reasons  for  this  endorsement  are  fairly  straightforward. 

Cress  offers  years  of  experience  in  student  government.  He  was 
president  of  the  Student  Association  at  Forest  Uke  Academy  and  has 
served  as  »  dependable  and  active  student  senator  here  at  SMC.  He 
has  been  responsible  for  several  astute  constitutional  changes  that 
have  increased  the  effectiveness  of  our  Senate 

While  we  feel  Cress  is  the  best  choice  in  this  election,  the  other 
candidates  are  not  without  merit.  Koester  has  proven  himself 
dependable  and  organized  as  the  leader  of  the  Student  Missions  club. 
His  lack  of  experience  with  the  SMC  student  government,  however, 
made  him  impossible  to  endorse.  His  idea  of  rewriting  the  working 
policies  will  hopefully  be  adopted  by  whichever  candidate  is  elected. 
Cole  while  showing  admirable  energy  and  determination  m 
trying  to  cope  with  student  apathy,  is  obviously  unwilling  to  work 
within  the  existing  system.  We  feel  his  idea  of  restricting  the 
Senate's  power  to  only  matters  of  budget  and  finance  is  impractical. 
Instead  of  eliminating  red  tape,  this  move  would  only  create  more, 
since  the  constitution  would  have  to  be  in  part  rewritten.  Cutting 
down  the  Senate's  power  would  only  cramp  the  voice  of  the  students 
and  concentrate  more  authority  in  the  hands  of  few. 

For  vice-president,  we  feel  that  Mark  Boddy  and  Melanee 
Snowden  are  equally  qualified.  Boddy  has  shown  himself  to  be  a  very 
budget-conscious  senator  and  a  hard  worker  in  communicating  with 
his  precinct.  Boddy's  plans  for  a  stronger  student  government  are 
refreshing. 

Snowden  comes  to  bat  with  two  years  of  secretarial  experience  on 
the  Senate,  which  she  feels  contributes  to  her  knowledge  of  how  the 
SA  functions. 

Kirk  King  displays  definite  ability  to  work  with  people  well,  which 
is  certainly  a  plus,  but  his  lack  of  senatorial  experience  led  us  to 
believe  Boddy  and  Snowden  were  most  suited  to  the  job. 

Del  Schutte  is  running  on  the  same  platform  as  William  Cole, 
which  we  have  already  discussed. 

Since  the  rest  of  the  SA  offices  sport  lucky  candidates  who  are 
running  unopposed  and  who  have  it  more  or  less  made  in  the  shade, 
we  felt  no  need  to  make  endorsements.  Students  have  the  power  to 
either  accept  or  reject  these  candidates. 

Please  realize  that  these  endorsements  are  from  the  Accent  staff 
only  and  should  be  respected  as  an  editorial  opinion. 


Attention   Conscientious  SA   Voters 


Dear  Editor; 

Well,  scholars,  it  seems  that 
election  time  is  yet  once  more 
upon  us.  Being  as  wise  as  you  all 
are,  I'm  sure  that  you  will  be 
endorsing  a  "well-qualified  "  can- 
didate. But  how  does  one  deter- 
mine exactly  who  the  best  "well- 
qualified"  candidate  is? 

Here  are  several  major  areas  to 
be  alert  for  in  making  ones'  deci- 
sion. They  are;  enthusiasm;  why 
is  the  candidate  desiring  the  of- 
fice for  which  he  is  competing?; 
what  are  his/her  qualifications?; 
what  are  the  plans  of  the  candi- 


Yet  a  third  category  of  question 
is,  how  is  this  person  qualified  ... 
if  indeed  they  are  qualified?  A 
common  and  good  source  for 
answering  this  question  is  to  care- 
fully read  the  platfonns  submit- 
ted by  the  candidates.  Every 
candidate  likes  to  dress  up  their 
platform  in  such  a  manner  that 
the  reader  is  not  (hopefully)  only 
blinded  by  the  brilliance  thereof, 
but  baffled.  .  .  . 

Another  item  generally  found 

in  the  platform  is  the  goals  and 

plans   which    our    candidate    in 

date Tii  questton?^  and  is  their     question  has  for  his  office,  Ascer- 


political  past  one  of  success 
failure? 

First,  there's  enthusiasm.  Does 
the  candidate  really  want  the  job 
or  have  they  been  "talked  into 
running."  Which  is  to  say,  Why 
do  they  want  this  job?  As  you 
scholars  are  well  aware,  there  are 
several  elected  offices  which  offer 
a  "Token  wage"  (if  I  may  use  the 
term)  or  payment  to  the  officer. 
Therefore,  one  must  deride  in 
fact  if  they  are  willing  to  pay  this 
person  to  fill  the  position  tor 
Which  they  are  competing. 

Other  motivations  include  ad- 
vancements on  the  social  ladder. 
Granted,  these  come  automati- 
cally with  the  office  and  are  gen- 
erally well-deserved,  but  once  the 
position  (both  office  and  ladder) 
are  filled,  will  we  still  have  a 
person  that  is  willing  to  give  their 


does  our  candidate  have?  Have 
they  been  successful  in  related 
positions  in  their  past?  If  not, 
why?  Based  upon  their  past 
record,  do  I  as  a  voter  want  them 
to  head  the  offices  for  which  they 
are  running? 

Before  1  bring  down  the  wrath 
of  all  upon  me,  let  me  set  for  the 
record  that  this  article  is  not 
pressing  for  the  endorsement  of 
any  of  the  candidates.  Yet  it 
hopes  to  provoke  thought  on  the 
part  of  its  readers  to  do  some 
searching  to  determine  for  them- 
selves who  they  believe  to  be  the 
best  candidate  and  to  know  why 
they  support  the  candidate  which 
they  do. 


tain  why  you  agree  or  not.  Are 
the  plans  presented  logically  and 
practically?  Can  they  be  accom- 
plished? Are  they  realistic?

'Hands  Of  God'  Creator 
Gives   His  Thoughts 
About  The    Sculpture 


Dear  Editor; 

Thank  you  for  your  letter  of 
inquiry.  I  am  gratified  that  there 
is  so  much  interest  in  the  "Hands 
of  God."  The  sculpture  still  lacks 


which  will  give  it  its  distinctive 
texture,  and  I  do  not  think  it 
would  do  justice  either  to  the 
work  or  to  your  readers  to  publish 
the  final  elaboration  of  bronze  photos  of  it  before  it  is  finished. 
Generally  speaking. 


If  more  students  were  self-starters, 
less  teachers  would  be  cranks.

College  Price  Tag  OK  But  Dean's  Letters  Unwelcome  To  Parents 


Dear  Editor: 

Since  we  have  two  sons  attend- 
ing SMC,  we  are  interested  in  the 
college's  activities  and  therefore 
read  The  Southern  Accent  from 
cover  to  cover  with  a  great  deal  of 
interest. 

There  were  two  articles  in  the 
Jan.  19  issue  that  1  would  like  to 
comment  on.  The  first  is  the 
article  on  the  front  page  about 
SDA  colleges  pricing  themselves 
out  of  the  educational  market, 
and  the  second  is  the  controversy 
on  church  attendance. 

First,  there  are  some  very  im- 
portant facts  that  must  be  re- 
membered regarding  our  SDA 
colleges.  Even  though  it  is  true 
that  it  costs  about  $5,000  per  year 
to  send  a  student  to  SMC,  this  is 
still  a  bargain.  Most  private 
colleges  of  high  scholastic  stand- 
ing cost  several  thousands  dollars 
a  year  more.  Our  colleges  are  in 
the  elite  category  of  religious 
colleges,  or  at  least  they  should 
be.  since  our  primary  job  is  to 
train  our  young  people  to  go  out 
into  the  world  and  show  the  world 
what  God's  character  is  like. 

Inflation  has  been  eating  away 
on  the  value  of  the  dollar  for  many 
years.  Even  though  the  costs 
have  doubled  many  times  over,  so 
I  have  peoples'  wages.  It  is  true 
that  money  may   be   a   limiting 


factor  to  some  people,  but  it  is 
also  true  that  many  people  who 
have  the  resources  available  to 
them  will  still  send  their  young 
people  to  the  community  college. 
Perhaps  the  fault  is  not  always 
with  the  parents.  Since  young 
people  are  legally  of  age  at  the 
age  of  18  in  all  states  now,  the 
parents  do  not  have  the  leverage 
to  force  their  children  to  go  to  an 
SDA  college.  Our  sons  are  at 
SMC  because  they  chose  to  go 
there. 

I  can  really  appreciate  the  con- 
cern that  our  educational  leaders 
are  voicing,  and  I  am  especially 
happy  to  hear  of  cost  containment 
programs.  Since  I  work  in  the 
health-care  industry,  I  hear  a  I  >i 
about  cost  containment.  I  wonder 
though  if  the  cost  of  education  is 
the  real  crux  of  the  problem. 

Political  scientists  believe  that 


"We  have  two  sons 
attending  SMC." 


the  thing  that  makes  the  demo- 
cracy of  the  United  States  so 
much  more  successful  than  any 
other  democracy  in  the  world  is 
because  it  is  something  that  the 


people  believe  in.  It  is  in  their 
minds  and  in  their  hearts  to  the 
extent  that  nobody  can  overthrow 

"My  wife  and  I  have 
been  paying  sctiool 
bills  for  19  years." 

their  confidence  in  the  American 
way  of  life.  If  Christian  education 
is  so  much  a  part  of  a  person's  Hfe 
that  he  really  believes  in  it,  there 
is  nothing  that  will  keep  his  young 
person  out  of  our  colleges,  if  the 
child  really  wants  to  go.  I  would 
not  be  willing  to  spend  a  dime  for 
my  sons  to  be  at  SMC  If  I  had  to 
force  them  to  go,  God  does  not 
want  forced  obedience  from  his 
children. 

This  ideal  of  Christian  educa- 
tion must  become  a  way  of  life  if  it 
is  to  be  a  reality.  My  wife  and  I 
have  been  paying  school  bills  for 
19  years.  When  we  started  out 
with  one  child  in  the  first  grade 
we  didn't  see  how  we  could  ever 
pay -the  tuition.  Then  we  heard 
about  how  high  the  academy  tui- 
tion was  and  we  knew  that  we 
could  never  pay  that.  The  first 
thing  that  we  learned  was  to 
budget  our  school  tuition  as  a 
necessary  item  of  our  budget. 


right  along  with  food,  shelter,  and 
clothes.  The  next  thing  we  did 
was  to  try  to  improve  our  skills  so 
that  we  would  have  something  to 
offer  for  higher  wages  to  be  able 
to  keep  up  with  the  demands  of 
three  children  in  Christian 
schools. 

As  the  costs  of  education  have 
increased,  so  have  our  incomes. 
It  is  true  that  all  of  my  wife's 
income  goes  to  pay  our  bills  at 
SMC.  There  are  other  things  that 
we  would  like  to  do  with  that 
money,  but  we  do  not  even  con- 
sider that.  We  consider  it  our 
duty  to  provide  a  Christian  col- 
lege education  to  our  boys  if  they 
want  it.  It  has,  after  19  years, 
become  a  way  of  life  to  us. 

We  have  dedicated  our  lives  to 
this  end  and  nothing  can  sway  us 
from  this  objective.  We  have 
even  had  to  go  in  debt  to  fulfill 
this  obligation. 

What  1  liave  tried  to  say  is  that 
Christian  education  is  not  as 
much  a  matter  of  finances  as  it  is 
a  matter  of  complete  dedication  to 
what  you  believe  is  the  most 
important  thing  in  life.  Let's 
continue  to  encourage  cost  con- 
tainment, but  let's  also  be  careful 
to  continue  high  quality.  I  am 
very  proud  of  our  facultj'  at  SMC 
as  well  as  our  other  colleges. 


church  attendance  are  brief.  I 
feel  that  our  faculty  committee  is 
led  of  God  in  making  these  deci- 
sions, whether  1  like  it  or  not. 
However,  1  do  feci  that  it  is  rather 
childish  and  very  annoying  to 
receive  letters  from  the  boys' 
dean  telling  me  that  my  boy  did 
not  sign  out  for  church.  My  son  is 
an  adult,  the  rules  were  made  for 
him,  any  infraction  of  these  rules 
should  be  between  the  school  and 

'M  feel  that  it  is

for  church," 

him.  In  my  case,  1  happen  to 
know  he  does  go  to  church,  and 
just  fails  to  sign  out.  The  letters 
are  petty  and  leave  me  cold. 

I  realize  that  The  Southern  Ac- 
cent does  not  usually  print  letters 
from  parents,  but  1  just  thought 
there  might  be  some  ol  you  vho 
would  like  to  know  that  ilieic  are 
parents  who  really  care.

-  Last  Wednesday  I  was  sche- 
duled to  work  at  thcCK  from  5:30 
p  m.  till  closing.  Business  was 
unusually  slow  and  I  was  bored 
stiff  so  1  started  humming 
■  Heaven  Came  Down  and  Glory 
Filled  My  Soul." 

Much  to  my  disbelief,  one  ot 
my  co-workers  sang  the  whole 
song  in  her  native  tongue,  Spa- 
nish. 

I  never  knew  how  one  song  in 
English  could  be  an  ordinary 
song  but  in  another  language  it 
was  beautiful  and  spiritually  up- 
lifting. Peace  fell  upon  my  heart 
and  to  me  that  is  a  blessing 
exposed!  Thank  you  Arlene  for 
letting  Jesus  use  you  last  Wed- 
nesday night  to  lift  me  up  and

How  About  Some, 


Our  platform  is  built  around  the  philosopM 
that  the  primary  purpose  of  the  SA  is  to^^^isii 
the  student  body  in  having  as  enjoyable  aiT 
meaningful  a  college  stay  as  possible, 
further  believe  that  the  most  effective  w 
accompHsh  this  goal  is  through  the  channel  J 
btudent  services  and  activities. 

If  we  are  elected  to  be  your  SA  presidel 
and  vice-president,  our  emphasis  in  service 
and  activities  will  not  be  to  provide  a  < 
number  of  high  attendance  activities,  but| 
constant  flow  of  smaller  functions  such  i 
regular  hikes,  swimming  and  tubing,  outingj 
to  area  scenic  and  historic  locations,  Fridj 
qight  vespers  with  area  families,  recreationj 
and   entertaining    parties   both    on 
campus,  etc.    The  obvious  results  of  a  greJ 
number  and  variety  of  such  activities  will  bel 
more  conducive  atmosphere  for  students  \ 
get  acquainted  with  one  another,  anc 
active  and  fulfilling  social    life  for  you  1 
student  while  here  at  SMC. 

Please  help  us  realize  these  goals  by  s 
porting  us  in  the  SA  elections. 

Sincerely, 

William  Cole,  candidate  for  President

FOR 
VICE-PRESIDENT: 


I  am  running  for  the  office  of  Vice-President  of  the 
Student  Association  for  the  1978-1979  school  year. 

I  feel  that  1  am  qualified  for  this  job  for  the  following 
reason:  1  am  a  senator  from  Talge  Hall  -10th  precinct- 
and  in  this  capacity.  1  am  serving  and  have  served  on  a 
number  of  senatorial  committees. 

1  am  excited  about  the  possibilities  the  SA  has  for 
ne.xt  year  1  would  lilte  to  work  toward  two  main  goals: 
one,  to  increase  student  services,  an  area  we  have 
heard  nothing  from  this  year;  and  two,  increase 
intercommunication  between  the  consHtuency  and  their 
elected  officers. 

1  hope  to  achieve  these  goals  by  adapting  to  our 
present  methods  of  communication  and  by  concentra- 
ting on  the  primary  job  of  the  SA  serving  you,  the 
students. 

If  we  can  achieve  these  goals,  I  know  that  next  year 
will  be  one  of  the  most  productive  years  ever  for  the 
Student  Association. 

Yours  for  an  active  SA,

quality  and  enjoyable  activities  provided  for  their  benefrt  I  am 
willing  to  dedicate  my  efforts  to  produce  an  SA  that  does  care  about 
each  individual's  interests,  ideas,  and  concerns. 

GOALS  AND  OBJECTIVES 

1.  Offer  students  a  choice  of  two  or  three  activities  on  SA-

trips  to  Atlanta  for  shopping  and  sports  events.

'6.     Open  Forum  meetings  on  regular  basis

take  time  to  read  the  rest  of  my  platform.  The  platforms  are  posted 
in  the  Student  Center.   Thank  you  for  your  support! 

Yours  for  a  Productive  SA.

Ronn  Koester 

For  SA  President 

What  is  it  that  makes  an  SA? 

Is  it  the  quality  of  programming? 

Is  it  the  amount  of  programs  presented? 

Is  it  what  the  SA  does  for  you? 

To  a  certain  degree  each  of  the  above  decide  the  year.  They 
are  all  important,  but  the  deciding  factor  has  been  left  out. 
YOU. 

The  SA  can  do  things  for  you  or  with  you.  Activities  that 
are  not  just  mass  oriented,  but  activities  that  are  especially 
planned  for  your  interests.  You  can  be  involved.  Your 
involvement  is  what  counts. 

Counting  on  you,

RON  FOR   JOKER    EDITOR 

The  office  of  editor  of  the  Joker  has  always  been  one  of  importance  lo  the 

studentsofSMC.  The  Joker  is  not  just  "something  nice  to  have  around,    but 

is  an  integral  part  of  the  college  way  of  life.  I  plan  to  give  you,  the  students, 

this  part  by  producing  a  Joker  that  is  what  you  need,  when  you  need  il.  It  will 

be  as  useful  and  accurate  as  possible  thereby  being  of  more  value  to  you.    It 

will  also  provide  all  those  things  necessary  to  social  survival. 

Having  talked  with  several  people,  I  see  the  way  clear  for  the  Joker  to  be 

It  in  a  short  length  of  time  again  next  year.  Plans  have  been  progressing  to 

ake  the  wait  after  registration  short. 

With  these  plans  and  goals  in  mind.  I  would  like  to  move  forward  with  your 
pport.   The  purpose  of  the  office  will  be  accomplished  having  done  this.

^^ew^Letter 


Fellow  students  of  SMC,  I  am  running  for  the  office 
of  Academic  Activities  Director  of  the  Student  Associa- 
tion, 

This  is  an  office  for  which  I  have  a  great  concern 
The  development  of  this  office  is  of  utmost  importance 
in  your  SA,  and  this  is  just  what  I  plan  to  do. 

The  difference  between  my  approach  to  this  office 
and  those  of  past  office  holders,  is  that  I  don't  plan  to 
try  to  do  everything  myself.  I  plan  to  break  it  down  into 
different  areas  and  assign  each  area  to  a  student  most 
qualified.  After  doing  this.  1  will  seek  out  different  staff 
members  to  be  advisors  (in  the  nearest  field  of  study 
related  to  the  activity), 

1  would  like  to  see  several  programs  succeed  and 
avoid  spreading  myself  too  thin,  while  trying  to  cater  to 
the  needs  of  as  many  students  at  one  time  as  possible. 

Thank  you  for  your  vote  of  yes. 

Respectfully  submitted.

GARREN  RUNS  FOR  rnNi;WKSS  ront.  from  p.  J  ^^ZZ^ 


In  his  Oak  Ridge  address.  Gar- 
ren  spoke  about  taxes  and  present 
fiscal  policies.  He  labeled  Presi- 
dent Carter's  new  Social  Security 
tax  as,  "the  largest  tax  ever 
passed  during  peace  time."  He 
expanded  his  statements  by  say- 
ing, "increased  federal  spending 
for  no  real  solutions  can  only 
contribute  to  spiraling  inflation 
and  increased  costs  in  all  areas  of 
everyday  life." 

The  mostly  rural  Third  Con- 
gressional District  is  composed  of 
U  counties  with  Chattanooga. 
Oak  Ridge,  and  Cleveland  being 
its  three  largest  cities.  Garren  be- 
lieves that  he  can  represent  those 
in  the  District  who  are  concerned 


with  governmental  control  of 
everyday  life. 

According  to  Garren.  his  cam- 
paign will  be  an  old-fashioned  one 
patterned  after  those  of  the 
whistlestops  of  Truman  and 
Roosevelt.  He  plans  no  large 
media  blitz.  Rather,  he  will  be 
going  out  among  the  voters, 
meeting  them  at  gas  stations  and 
shopping  centers. 

During  the  coming  summer,  he 
plans  to  spend  time  at  different 
occupations  such  as  agriculture, 
construction,  coal  mining,  etc.,  in 
the  manner  of  Sen.  Proxmire's 
recently  publicized  garbage 
route,  so  that  he  may  become 
better  acquainted  with  the  needs 


and  desires  of  the  Third  District 
constituency. 

But  the  campaign  will  not  be  an 
easy  one.  The  Chattanooga 
News-F^ee  Press  published  an 
opinion  poll  giving  an  indication 
of  the  strength  of  Garren's  op- 
position. Marilyn  Lloyd.  Pollsters 
found  thai  she  now  has  a  77  per 
ceni  positivt  rating  in  the  Dis- 
trict. The  pollsters  concluded 
that  their  findings  indicate  a 
strong  base  of  support  required 
for  a  successful  1978  Lloyd 
victory. 

However,  the  election  is  still 
nine  months  away,  slotted  for 
Nov.  7.  Only  time  and  the  voters 
will  tell.

The  annual  Rees  Series  will  be 
l)layedFeb.25and26.  The  teams 
will  be  made  up  of  members  of 
the  four  classes  on  campus. 

Before  this  year,  the  teams 
were  made  up  from  different  de- 
partments. 

I  remember  playing  on  a  beha- 
vioral science  team  that  lost  two 
straight  to  the  P.E.  and  Talge 
Hall  teams.  The  first  loss  was  by 
a  score  of  101-33.  the  second 
game  was  worse  --  105-35.  The 
business  administration  depart- 
ment won  that  year. 


The  teams  will  be  picked  by 
class  standing.  This  means  the 
senior  team  will  have  such  mem- 
bers as  Barts  and  J.  Schultz. 
These  games  promise  to  be  eye- 
openers. 

In  addition  to  the  ball-playing, 
the  finals  for  the  two-man  volley- 
ball tourney  will  be  played  Satur- 


Pitted 
Series 


day  night,  and  the  final  round  of 
the  badminton  tournament  will  be 
played  Sunday  night.  So  come 
out  and  support  your  department. 


ELECTIONS  cont.  from  p.  J

I  Diego  Academy,   recently  ac- 
cepted a  call  to  head  the  educa-

ago  when  Dr.  Stuart  Berkley  went 

I  to  Antillian  College,  Puerto  Rico. 

A  native  of  Washington  state.

I  "igh  level  at  Spokane  Junior 
Academy,  Spokane.  Wash.;  Ho- 
p's Elementary  School  in  Col- 
lege Place,  Wash.,  and  Loma 
l-'ida  Academy.  During  his  ex- 
perience teaching  in  grades  seven 
eight,  Dr.  Pearson  worked 
'  student  teachers  in  a  self- 
I  Wntained  classroom  situation. 


NO  MORE! 

■^is  is  the  last 
issue  of  the 
Accent  until  after

At  San  Diego  Academy,  he 
taught  9th,  10th,  and  12th  grade 
courses  in  English  and  journalism 
before  becoming  principal  of  the 
school  in  1972. 

In  1974  Dr.  Pearson  received

DJerry  Dick  Lien 

Dr.  Lawrence  Hanson,  cur- 
rently chairman  of  the  mathe- 
matics department,  has  been  de- 
signated the  new  academic  dean. 
He  will  assume  the  duties  ol  Dr. 
Cyril  Futcher  who  will  be  retiring 
at  the  end  of  the  present  school 
year. 

"The  selection  of  a  replace- 
ment was  no  easy  task,  and  for 
me  represented  the  most  difficult 
decision  I  ever  was  required  to 
make,"  affirmed  Frank  Knittel, 
College  president.  "Many  times 
in  similar  circumstances,  it  makes 
no  difference  if  a  successor  comes 
from  within  or  without  the  parent 
group.  Too  much  inbreeding  is 
not  good,  and  within  the  recent 
past  two  major  administrative  of- 
ficers have  been  brought  in  from 
non-SMC  ranks  to  fill  vacancies 
here.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is 
essential  for  a  faculty  to  know  that 
their  members  do  have  honor  in 
their  own  country  and  surely  are 
entitled  to  consideration  for  ad- 
Ivancement  in  their  own  schools." 
Dr.  Hanson's  educational  back- 
ground includes  a  B.A.  from  Los 
Angeles  State  College,  the  M.A. 
from  the  University  of  California 
Davis  campus,  and  a  Ph.D.  from 
Florida  State  University.  It  is  felt 

Committee  Of 
100  Proposes 
Promenade 


Project 


DBarbara  lies 

The  board  of  directors  for  the 
Committee  of  100  met  last  week 
to  discuss  the  next  major  project 
the  committee  will  sponsor. 

William  lies,  president  of  the 
committee,  said  there  are  four 
major  projects  being  considered. 

One  possibility  is  the  installa- 
tion of  a  promenade  that  would 
extend  from  the  Tab  to  just  be- 
yond the  Student  Center. 

A  second  suggestion  is  a  build- 
ing containing  three  squash 
courts  which  would  double  as 
racquet  ball  court.";. 

There  is  also  a  possibility,  said 
lies,  that  a  building  be  erected  to 
house   WSMC.       This    building 

Tnm  to  p.  2,  col.  3 


by  the  administration  that  his 
background  will  be  a  great  asset 
to  the  College. 

"Dr.  Hanson  has  been  very 
active  with  the  faculty  working 
policy  evolvement.  He  has  been 
the  secretary  of  the  Senate;  he  is 
presently    the    chairman    ot    the 

board,  and  he  is  the  president  of 
the  local  chapter  of  the  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  Forum.  His  formal 
academic  training  and  his  experi- 
ence give  him  a  wide  range  of 
professional  perspective,  includ- 
ing secondary  as  well  as  col- 
legiate   education.       He    has    a 


thorough  knowledge  of  the  com- 
puter, and  this  will  give  him 
immediate  readiness  to  be  in- 
volved with  the  cost  elements  of 
SMC,"  stated  Knittel. 

The  president  concluded  his 
announcement  of  the  choice  for 
the  new  dean  by  saying,  "I  feel 
very  comfortable  in  working  with 
him.  and  he  assures  me  the  feel- 
ing is  mutual.  He  is  a  person  with 
whom  it  is  possible  to  have  a  close 
personal  and  professional  rela- 
tionship without  absorbing  or 
threatening  one  another.  I  am 
truly  pleased  he  has  agreed  to 
this  change  of  labor  and  pace 
here." 


Board  Decides 
To   Pitch  The 
Laundry 


DJerry  Dick  Lien 

Meeting  Feb.  16,  the  SMC 
Board  of  Trustees  gave  pre- 
liminary approval  to  the  sale  of 
the  College's  laundry  business. 
The  transaction  would,  however, 
not  include  selling  the  laundry's 
physical  plant. 

Reasons  given  for  the  action 

1 .  If  the  College  were  to  keep 
the  business  it  would  soon  have  to 
pay  too  much  in  taxes  to  be 
advantageous  -  approximately  50 
per  cent  of  profits. 

2.  The  newly  established 
General  Conference  sustentation 
rate  for  industries  would  cost  the 
laundry  $15,000  a  year. 

3.  By  retaining  the  laundry, 
the  College  vvould  be  faced  with 
spending  $200,000  for  new  equip- 
ment. 

According  to  President  Frank 
Knittel,  SMC  would  be  better  off 
to  sell.  Medi-Clean  Services, 
Inc.,  would  buy  the  lau;:,lry,  re- 
taining Bob  Adams  as  manager. 
The  laundry  would  still  protect 
student  employment  and  observe 
the  Sabbath. 

In  other  action,  authorization 


was  given  for  the  College  to  pay 
$50,000  over  the  next  three  years 
toward  the  purchase  of  a  new 
organ  for  the  Collegedale  Church. 
It  was  voted  that  a  special 
committee  should  make  a  study 
pertaining  to  the  future  of  the 
service  station.  The  report  would 
indicate  whether  or  not  the  Col- 
lege should  operate  the  station, 
and  if  it  should  remain  at  its 
present  location. 

Graduate  summer  study  leaves 
were  given  to  Ann  Clark,  Dr. 
Henry  Kuhlman.  David  Steen. 
Charles  Zuill.  Don  Runyan.  Hel- 
mut Ott,  and  Bob  McCurdy. 

Summer  study  leaves  other 
than  graduate  were  given  to  Dr. 
Jerome  Clark,  Dr.  Cecil  Rolfe, 
Joyce  Cotham,  Dr.  Mitchell  Thiel, 
and  Dr.  Barbara  Ruf. 

Wayne  Bechthold,  instructor  of 
nursing,  was  voted  a  year's  study 

New  personnel  were  appointed 
by  the  Board.  They  are  Bruce 
Stephanske,  assistant  business 
manager;  Dr.  William  Pearson, 
chairman  of  the  education  depart- 
ment; Dan  Rozell.  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  business  management;

STC  Aims  To  Serve  -  With 
T-Shirts,  Hose,  &  Sandwiches 


DDebra  Ann  Martin 

The  newly  formed  Sigma  Theta 
Chi  dub,  which  includes  all  single 
women  registered  for  more  than 
seven  hours  of  class  work,  is  in 
search  of  a  motto. 

According  to  appointed  presi- 
dent Sally  McMillan,  "We  would 
like  to  use  a  Bible  text  that  is' 
representative  of  the  club's 
name."  The  Greek  letters  Sigma 
Theta  Chi  are  used  to  symbolize 
wisdom,  courage,  and  charm. 

STC  is  a  service  club.  The  club 
is  responsible  for  the  placement 
of  vending  machines  in  Thatcher, 
two  paniy  hose  machines  and  a 
food  machine.  The  money  for  the 
machines  was  advanced  by  the 


College.  "Right  now  the  ma- 
chines are  paying  for  themselves. 
When  the  machines  are  paid  for. 
all  the  profits  will  go  to  STC," 
said  Betty  Howard,  a  club  spon- 

The  club  is  also  selling  T-shirts 
and  tube  socks,  both  garments 
bearing  the  club's  emblem. 

Preparation  to  sponsor  a  female 
pastor  for  a  spiritual  emphasis 
week  at  Thatcher  is  underway. 
And  the  possibility  of  publishing 
a  cookbook  is  being  looked  into. 

McMillan  said  that  the  club 
was  finally  revived  out  of  its  long 
stupor  to  meet  the  needs  of  the 
women's  reception   and   to  give

The  Collegiate  Chorale  will 
begin  an  eight-day  tour  of  Florida 
and  the  Caribbean  area  during

The  itinerary  is  as  follows: 

March  2"Forest  Lake  Academy 

March  3-  Miami  Temple 
Church 

March  4-North  Miami  Church, 
Miami  Springs  Church, 
Greater  Miami  Academy 

March  5  through  8~Touring  the 
island  of  Jamaica  and  culminating 
with  a  concert  at  West  Indies 
of  Christian      College. 

Don  Runyan,  director  of  the 
chorale,  said  that  because  of  the 


shaky  political  situation  in  Ja- 
maica he  is  very  desirous  of  visit- 
ing the  island  at  this  time. 
Later  it  may  not  be  possible. 

The  members  of  the  chorale 
will  be  contacting  students,  facul- 
ty and  staff  members  concerning 
a  special  portrait  offer  by  the  Rick 
Perry  Studios.  Perry  is  repeating 
his  $6  8x10  color  portrait  special

The  final  possibility  is  to  devote

The  champion  moves  his  last 
general  three-fourths  way  down 
the  board  and  takes  out  a  canon. 
A  risky  move,  but  well  worth  the 
effort. 

Taking  the  second  move  of  his 
turn,  the  now  self-assured,  arro- 
gant champion  twitches  his  well- 
trimmed  mustache,  and  positions 
his  captain  close  to  his  general. 

Can  the  opponent  retaliate  suc- 


cessfully against  the  moves?

pieces,  including  generals, 
colonels,  majors,  captains,  infan- 
try soldiers,  sailors,  canons, 
ships,  and  flags,  must  be  maneu- 
vered around  mountains  and  over 
a  sea.  ATTACK!  is  won  when 
one  player  captures  his  oppon- 
ent's flag  or  both  generals. 

The  idea  for  ATTACK!  began 
to  formulate  in  Kendall's  mind 
during  his  senior  year  in  aca- 
demy. Using  his  study  halls  to 
get  the  idea  materialized,  Kendall 
had  to  play  the  game  over  50 
times  in  order  to  allow  situations 
to  arise  to  see  if  the  rules  took 
care  of  them. 

"My  original  inspiration  came 
from  'Feudal.'"  Kendall  com- 
mented, then  added  with  a  laugh, 
"which  !  played  three  times  and 
lost  three  times!" 

After  redesigning  the  board  six 
times  by  the  following  summer, 
he  had  the  game  perfected. 
Kendall  even  had  the  pieces 
made.  The  canons,  constructed 
with  metal  sewing  machine  bob- 
bins and  plastic  "Battleship" 
pegs  for  the  barrels  are  under  the 
direction  of  the  officers,  made  out 
of  different  size  macrame  beads 
and  tacks.  The  ships,  carved  out 
of  cork,  sail  smoothly  over  the 
board  which  is  poster  board 
mounted  on  plywood  and  varn- 
ished. 

The  young  inventor  was  en- 
couraged by  friends  to  get 
ATTACK!  marketed  along  with 
its  eight-page  rule  book. 


Finally,  he  ran  across  the  Intel 
national  Inventors  Incorporated. 
Kendal!  took  his  plywood  board 
and  sewing  machine  bobbins  and 
introduced  ATTACK!  to  the  mar- 
keting company.  For  $250,  the 
impressed  committee  took  four 
weeks  and  did  the  following  four 

1.  Researched  on  a  nation- 
wide basis  to  determine  the  mar- 
ket potential  for  the  product. 

2.  Evaluated  the  concept 
appeal  —  how  they  think  the 
public  would  react  to  it. 

3.  Tested  for  production  abil- 
ity —  found  out  what  the  cost 
would  be  for  the  manufacturer  to 
produce,  materials  needed,  time 
and  labor,  and  whether  the  com- 
pany would  need  new  equipment. 

4.  Estimated  the  marketing 
potential  —  the  number  of  people 
who  would  buy  the  game,  number 
of  producers  who  could  manu- 
facture it,  number  of  outlets 
through  which  the  product  could 
be  distributed. 

The  results  of  their  analysis 
showed  that  Kendall  would  get 
seven  to  eight  per  cent  of  the 
wholesale  profits  which  was  es- 
timated to  be  about  $30,000 
annually. 

Next,  International  offered  (for 
$900)  to  display  ATTACK!  at  four 
to  six  trade  shows  and  contact  40 
different  manufacturing  firms, 
such  as  Parker  Brothers,  Matel, 


and  Milton  Brothers,  who  would 
be  interested.  International 
would  also  bargain  with  the  man- 
ufacturer for  license  agreement 
with  royalties. 


Knowing  sadly  that  he  uidn't 
have  the  money  to  accept  the 
offer,  Kendall  declined  and  de- 
cided to  write  Parker  Brothers 
himself.  When  they  replied,  they 
thanked  Kendall  for  his  interest, 
but  said  as  a  rule,  they  did  not 
accept  unsolicited  materials  be- 
cause of  being  swamped.  Parker 
Brothers  suggested  that  Kendall 
go  through  established  channels 
which  would  be  a  marketing  com- 

So  at  this  time.  Tom  Kendall, 
who  is  already  coniving  a  second 
game  involving  politics,  is  in  a 
pinch  —  a  possible  million  dollar 
offer,  but  not  enough  money  to 
accept  it. 

The  challenger  prepares  to  re- 
taliate. 

He  steps  an  infantry  soldier  out 
in  front  of  a  general  who  is 
waiting  on  the  back  line  in  the 
shadows.  (Shadows  not  included 
with  game;  must  be  imagined 
separately.) 

For  his  second  move,  he  zips 
the  general  across  the  board  and 
swipes  the  last  of  his  opponents 
highest  ranked  officer,  the  gen- 
eral.   The  champion  is  defeated!

A  Shoot  Out   In  The  Rees 


DSteve  Thompson 

Walt  Frazier.  Dr.  J.  Erving  or 
K-reem  Jabbar  might  not  be  a- 
raong  the  starting  line-aps  that 
will  go  into  action  this  Saturday 
night,  but  there  will  be  many  imi- 
tators who  will  be  fighting  for 
their  class.  The  annual  SMC 
Rees  Series  will  be  hosting  a 
grand  array  of  hoop  shooters  and 
top  coaches  from  the  school. 

Leading  off  the  list  of  all-stars 
is  the  freshman  class.  Calling  in 
for  the  freshmen  is  Brad  "Buck" 
Schultz.  who  will  start  at  center 
{who  as  a  matter  of  fact  could 
start  at  center  for  anybody's 
team).  Back  court  men  will  be 
Cockrell  and  Nafie.  Serving  in 
the  front  court  will  be  Big  "E" 
Essix  and  Abbott.  The  freshmen 
clasj  looks  well-balanced,  and 
plenty  of  help  is  coming  from  the 
bench  in  Williams.  Aalborg, 
Battle,  Haskell,  and  Owens  Their 
court  knowledge  and  direction 
will  be  coming  from  coach  War- 
ren Halverson.  So  there's  your 
team,  freshman  class,  give  them 

Coming  up  next  in  the  program 
are  those  second  year  people, 
better  known  as  bophomores. 
Their  leam  is  centered  around 
6'6"  Rick  Pruuus-ia;  helping  him 
out  in  the  front  court  will  be 
Mosley  and  Visser.  Working  in 
the  back  court  will  be  David  "un- 
real" Thompson  and  Eberhardt. 
First  Five  looks  ready  to  go. 
Support  from  bench  will  be  Bur- 
ham,  S.  Thompson,  Farwell,  Kit- 
tle, and  Slattery.  Delmar  Lovejoy 
will  guide  from  the  side  as  he 
coaches  them.  Sophomore  class 
be  there,  cause  they  are  going  to 
try  to  bring  the  title  home. 

Now  for  the  guys  who  have 
been  serving  for  three  years,  the 
juniors.  Starting  line-up  will  be 
"Buns"  Rathbun.  Westermeyer, 
and  Kaufmann.  They  will  be  the 
three  mean   dudes  in   the  front 


court,  while  the  back  court  con- 
sists of  Ruiz  and  Dalton.  Junior 
class  already  looks  hot.  They 
don't  have  a  big  man,  but  who 
needs  one  when  you're  hot. 

Contributing  from  the  bench 
will  be  Dickerson,  Gusso, 
Pumphrey.  Thornton,  and  Uhran. 
Doing  the  job  from  courtside  will 
be  Everett  Schlisner.  Juniors, 
hope  you  like  your  team,  cause 
they're  working  for  you. 

Last  on  the  list,  but  not  the 
least,  as  the  M.C.  continues  to 


announce,  is  the  senior  class. 
Starting  off  the  line-up  will  be 
that  familar  name  that  somehow 
goes  with  the  word  gold-Barts, 
Schultz  and  Wilt. 

They  will  be  the  guys  who  will 
take  the  front  court  seriously. 
The  back  court  will  probably  be 
Douglas  and  Jimenez.  Seniors 
are  looking  good  and  tall.  Help 
from  side  line  will  be  Burnsed, 
Hickman.  Higgenbotham,  Stout 
and  Welch.  Phil  Garver  is  plan- 
ning on  helping  them   to  rock 


steady  as  he  coaches  this  squad. 
Senior  class,  this  is  your  last 
chance;  it's  time  to  crash  in  on  the 
goods. 

As  the  round  ball  bounces  for 
the  last  time,  it's  going  to  bounce 
with  the  school's  best.  Action  will 
start  Saturday  night  at  7:30. 
Game  one  will  consist  of  sopho- 
mores vs.  seniors,  while  game 
two  will  be  the  freshmen  taking 
on  the  juniors. 

Sunday   night   the    26th,    will 


have  action  starting  at  6  p  „, 
first  between  the   two  iosino 

teams  for  third  place  and  then  the 
championship  game  from  the  win 
ning  teams  of  Saturday  night 
There  will  also  be  special  attrac 
tions  between  games  both  nights. 

So  the  Rees  Series  is  not  only  a 
shoot  out  for  players;  it's  more 
than  that.  It's  a  total  weekend  for 
the  entire  school,  not  just  games 
It's  a  happening. 


The  Body  Beautiful  In   '78 


qVan  Boddy 

Washington  state  is  the  "Ever- 
green State"  and  starting  point  of 
the  "Across  the  States  in  '78!" 
exercise  promotion  program 
sponsored  by  Collegiate  Adven- 
tists  for  Better  Living  (CABL) 
from  now  until  the  end  of  the 
semester.  This  program  is  de- 
signed for  the  student  who  wants 
to  have  fan  while  starting  or 
maintaining  a  personal  fitness 
and  recreation  program. 

The  fun  will  consist  not  only  of 
developing  that  trim,  stunning, 
body  beautiful,  but  in  making  an 
individual  contribution  which 
will,  combined  with  the  collective 
participation  of  the  entire  Col- 
lege, result  in  a  total  mileage 
comparable  fo  the  distance  from 
Seattle.  Wash.,  tc  Miami  Fla. 
(Approximately  3.500  miles.) 

There  are  four  main  areas  of 
emphasis,  those  being  swim- 
ming, cycling,  running,  and  walk- 
ing. Bikers,  runners,  and  walkers 
will  be  given  one  mile  credit  for 
each  mile  of  distance  covered. 
Swimmers  will  be  given  one  mile 
credit  for  each  one-quarter  mile 


Participants  will  keep  frack  of 
their  distances  and  record  them 
weekly  on  color-coded  cards  avail- 
able at  the  map  in  the  Student 
Center.  These  cards  can  be  drop- 
ped in  designated  boxes  located 
in  the  Student  Center,  dorm  lob- 
bies, and  P.E.  department. 

Upon  completion  of  50  miles  or 
more,  (UVi  for  swimmers),  the 
participant  will  be  awarded  a 
beautiful  multi-color  cloth  patch 
sporting  and  outline  of  the  U.S. 


with  the  route  covered,  and  the 
words  "Across  the  States  in  '78 
National  Supporter"  emblazoned 
on  it. 

In  order  to  raise  monies  for 
on-campus  CABL  activities  and 

projects,  {proposed  projects  in- 
clude wind  screens  for  the  tennis 
courts,  work  racks  for  bicycle 
repair  and  maintenace,  laying  a 
Chevron  440  frack,  and  helping 
pay  for  the  proposed  all-weather 
enclosed   handball   court),    each 


participant  is  aked  to  get  a  spon- 
sor who  will  pay  an  agreed  a- 
mount  for  each  mile  the  partici- 
pant covers.  This  will  be  geared 
after  the  walkathons  and  it  is 
suggested  that  amounts  from  10 
cents  up  to  a  dollar  or  more  be 
pledged.  Those  participants  turn- 
ing in  the  largest  dollar  amounts 
from  their  sponsors  will  be  a- 
warded  with  prizes  suited  to  their 
particular  area  of  activity.  These 
plans  are  subject  to  approval  by 
the  adminisfrative  council. 


Barts'    Gold 
Being  Tested 


DSteve  Thompson 

At  the  end  of  the  rainbow,  the 
boys  Gold  just  might  not  find  the 
championship  crown,  but  instead 
two  guys,  one  by  the  name  of  the 
"Buns"  who  should  be  called 
her  h»r3.i'  -  if  thr  mnnv  gin  v  lie 
h:'s  faced  with  his  iiimpcr.  and 


.  of 


Hustling  Halverson.  who  always 
Pshows  up  around  this  time  of  year 
when  the  word  "championship" 
is  going  around. 

Ron  Barts.  who  is  the  captain  of 
the  golden  squad,  must  lead  his 
team  through  this  period  of  test- 
ing. And  so  far  together  they 
have  been  doing  a  dandy  job. 

The  last  stretch  is  always  the 
tough  one.  but  with  guys  like 
Bruce  jumpshot.  Rick  "sky- 
scraper" Prussia,  and  David 
Quickhands.  the  going  could  be 
sweet.  But  sweetness  attracts 
bees,  and  that's  where  the 
"Buns"  and  his  men  join  the 
picture,  but  before  they  can  apply 
the  sting.  Thev  must  sit  back- 
stage   and    watch    Halversen. 


Whether  or  not  there  is  anything 
left  in  Halversen's  championship 
bag.  he  must  use  it  now.  Gary 
Wilt.  Kevin  Cockrell.  Brooks 
Burnsed.  and  Delmar  Lovejoy  will 
all  get  a  standing  ovation  from 
Buns  and  his  squad  if  they  can 
polish  off  the  golden  boys. 

While  the  rest  of  the  double  A 
league  teams  watch  the  show- 
case, they  along  with  the  fans  are 
going  to  see  pure  gold  in  the 
making,  or  David  "Buns"  Rath- 
bun  shoot  people  out  the  city,  or 
Warren  Halversen  finish  the 
process  of  creating  a  legend. 

But  whatever  the  outcome,  the 
team  that  wins  it  all  will  not  just 
be  better  than  most  -  they  will  be 
the  best!

Igor  Strikes  A  Chord 
In  Baroque  Style 


Igor  Kipnis,  harpsichordist 


DDon  Jehle 

Harpsichordist  Igor  Kipnis  will 
present  a  concert  in  the  gym 
Saturday.  March  18.  at  8:45  p.m. 
Tickets  are  available  at  the  Cam- 
pus Shop. 

Kipnis,  the  son  of  the  famous 
Metropolitan  Opera  basso.  Alex- 
ander Kipnis,  has  been  associ- 
ated with  music  ever  since  his 
boyhood  in  the  1930's.  He  re- 
ceived his  first  piano  lessons  from 
his  grandfather,  the  Chicago  com- 
poser, pianist,  and  pedagogue, 
Heniot  Levy. 

Kipnis,  who  was  born  in  Berlin, 
where  his  father  was  a  member  of 
the  Berlin  State  Opera,  spent 
most  of  his  early  years  touring 
with  his  parents,  finally  settling 
down  in  the  United  States  just 
before  the  outbreak  of  World  War 
II. 

Though  he  took  the  usual  num- 
ber of  piano  courses,  he  did  not 


become  attracted  to  the  harpsi- 
chord until  his  college  years.  It 
was  at  Harvard  University,  from 
which  he  graduated  in  1952,  that 
Kipnis  first  became  fascinated  by 
the  harpsichord  and  baroque 

Kipnis  made  his  debut  as  a 
harpsichordist  in  1959  over  New 
York's  WNYC,  and  numerous 
performances  followed  with  his 
first  all-solo  recital  appearance  at 
the  New  York  Historical  Society  in 
1961. 

In  1964,  the  harpsichordist  ac- 
quired a  contract  with  CBS,  for 


LLU  Extends 
Program  To 


Master's 
SMC 


DMathew  Staver 

An  extension  master's  degree 
program  from  Loma  Linda  will  be 
offered  this  coming  summer  here 
at  SMC  for  those  education  ma- 
jors who  have  completed  their 
bachelor's  degree  and  are  eligible 
for  a  master's. 

Several  weeks  ago  representa- 
tives were  on  campus  from  Loma 
Linda  University  who  worked  up  a 
tentative  summer  schedule.  But 
Wore  it  is  finalized,  it  will  have 
io  be  approved  by  Loma  Linda 
University  and  eventually  by  the 
Western  Association,  which  certi- 
fies Loma  Linda  and  accredits  the 
university.  Dr.  Frank  Knittel 
feels  assured,  however,  that  the 
program  will  be  approved. 

The  plan  is  to  offer  four  two- 
week  classes  each  summer  for  a 
period  of  four  years.  This  would 
enable  a  person  who  already  has  a 
bachelor's  degree  and  qualifies 
f"'  a  master's  degree  to  obtain  it 
[J  f™r  summers.  There  is  also 
™  possibility  of  taking  one  or 
Wo  subjects  at  another  college 
""ring  the  year  and  having  these 
"edits  transferred  to  the  summer 
•"aster's  program. 

The  classes  for  the  first  sum- 
mer will  be  Continuous  Progress 


or  the  Multi  grade  Classroom. 
Curriculum  Planning.  Principles 
of  Guidance,  and  Seminar  on  Sev- 
enlh-day  Adventist  Education 
and  Philosophy. 

These  classes  will  either  meet 
all  day  in  a  workshop  program,  or 
in  a  lecture  setting  of  two  or  more 
hours  each  day  for  the  10' days. 

Because  this  will  not  be  a  de- 
gree from  SMC  but  a  LLU  degree 


offered  on  campus,  the  represen- 
tative said, 'Students  seeking  ad- 
mission lo  the  program  should 
have  met  the  requirements  to 
Loma  Linda  University's  School  of 
Education." 

Persons  who  do  not  qualify  for 
acceptance  at  Loma  Linda  could 
take  one  or  two  special  subjects 
and  if  the  results  are  desirable, 
could  petition  Loma  Linda  for 
admittance.

Union  Finally  Votes 
Not  To  Move  CUC 


DVinita  Wayman 

The  Columbia  Union  voted 
March  -S  to  keep  CUC  at  its 
present  site  in  Takoma  Park,  said 
Dr  M.W.Shultz.  chairman  of  the 
relocation  committee  and  father 
of  SMC  student  Karl  Shultz. 

The  vote,  ending  years  of  long 
debate,  was  carried  by  a  slim  53 
per  cent  of  the  union  constitu- 


rollment.  "The  academies  are 
not  supporting  CUC.  The  gradu- 
ates are  going  elsewhere."  said 
Dr.  Shultz.  Indications  of  surveys 
taken,  he  said,  support  a  more 
rural  atmosphere  for  the  college.

was  held  at  Blue  Mountain  Aca- 
demy in  Pennsylvania. 

According  to  Dr.  Shultz,  three 
options  for  the  development  of 
CUC  were  considered:  1)  relo- 
cate the  college  to  a  more  rural 
setting,  2)  reduce  the  college  to  a 
two-vear  vocational  school  as  an 
extension  of  Andrews  University, 
or  3)  retain  the  college  at  its 
present  site. 

The  much-rumored  solution  of 
merging  CUC  with  AUC  was  not 
discussed. 

cue's  troubles  began  with  a 
gradual  but  steady  decline  in  en- 


Yet  on  the  other  side,  it  v 
that  to  move  would  cost  too  much 
and  would  move  the  college  away 
from  the  Washington  Adventist 
Hospital,  which  is  conveniently 
located  right  across  the  street 
from  the  campus. 

With  the  decision  to  stay  final, 
however,  the  college  has  decided 
to  invest  its  money  in  a  new 
building — a  science  complex. 
Administrators  hope  that  this  ad- 
dition will  build  CUC  into  a  viable 
urban  campus. 

The  question  now,  said  Dr. 
Shultz.  is  whether  the  enrollment 
will  keep  dropping.  If  it  does, 
CUC  is  in  trouble.

to  obtain  a  free  library  card,  will 
now  be  required  to  pay  a  SlU

A  lost  book  will  cost  the  current 
list  price  plus  $6.50.  "We  just 
can't  avoid  it,"  Linderman  said, 
"the  price  of  books  has  gone  up 
tremendously."

idea--  a  periodic  table  of  the 
diatomic  molecules. 

A  periodic  table  of  the  atoms 
exists  already;  its  most  popular 
'..rm  was  published  in  1869  by  a 


nologv.  The  value  of  this  table 
will  spread,  as  time  goes  by.  said 
Dr.  Hefferlin,  into  many  indus- 
trial applications. 

Thus,  SMC  students  are  having 
the  opportunity  to  contribute  to 
their  country  in  a  tangible  way. 
They  are  also  learning  that  there 
is  much  to  be  learned  beyond 


what  is  found  in  textbooks,  or 
even  in  recent  journal  articles, 
said  Dr.  Hefferlin.  "They  are  on 
the  frontier.  It  is  a  frontier  which, 
though  perhaps  soon  to  be 
mastered,  will  lead  on  to  others; 
the  probing  of  God's  book  of 
nature  will  be  an  activity  winch 
will  continue  on  into  eternity.

.lelei 


lated  much  of  what  was  known  of 
atoms  and  has  been  called  ■the 
most  irino;tnnt  generalization  in 
all  u;  chemistr"." 

The  periodic  table  for  diatomic 
molecules  promises  to  be  both 
aesthetic  and  utilitarian,  said  Dr. 
Hefferiin.  It  is  potentially  aesthe- 
tic in  the  same  sense  that  all 
periodic  tables  are  (a  calendar  is 
more  attractive,  for  example, 
than  a  display  on  a  digital  clock). 

The  table  also  promises  to  be 
utilitarian,  to  contribute  to  the 
economic  health  of  our  nation. 
The  energy  crisis,  the  need  for 
better  means  of  transmitting  in- 
formation, and  other  demands,  all 
require  basic  research,  just  as 
basic  research  eariy  in  this  cen- 
csulted    in    today's    tech-

DDr.  Robert  Morrison 

Chattanooga,  like  many  other 
cities,  has  established  an  area 
language  bank.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Adult  Education  Coun- 
cil, the  language  bank  contains 
names  of  those  persons  willing  to 
be  called  when  there  arises  a 
need  for  an  interpreter  or  trans- 
lator. 

While  ;  -S  may  not  have 

time  to  serve  as  interpreter- 
guides  for  visiting  officials,  or  to 
translate  long  business  forms  or 
letters,  they  can  volunteer  to 
serve  in  case  of  emergency.  If.  for 
example,  there  was  an  accident 
on  the  interstate  highway  and  the 
officers  and  medical  attendants

called  to  assist.  This  humane 
service  would  be  a  genuine  help 
to  someone  in  distress,  and  such

SMC  students  who  would  like  to

name,  address,  telephone —  and

Tennessee  residents  voted 
Tuesday,  March  7,  on  the  most 
sweeping  changes  in  the  state 
constitution  in  more  than  a  cen- 
tury. 

Among  the  amendments  that 
voters  approved  were  ones  that 
removed  the  10  per  cent  ceiling 
on  interest  rates,  placed  a  limit  on 
state  spending,  restructured 
county  government,  and  allowed 
the  governor  to  succeed  himself 


in  office. 

Although  many  students  were 
away  on  spring  vacation,  over  200 
voters  polled  their  views  in  the 
Collegedale  precinct 

Tennessee  voters  accepted  all 
the  aniendmeni.^  LAtupi  oih  ,  "13, 
which  called  for  radi'-?l  changes 
in  the  state's  court  system.  Col- 
legedale voters  were  of  the  same 
opinion  as  the  majority  of  Ten- 
nesseans,  accepting  12  of  the  13 
proposed  amendments.

The  nationwide  coal  miners' 
strike,  which  is  now  over  75  days 
old,  has  led  local  officials  of  Ten- 
nessee Valley  Authority  (TVA)to 
request  that  individuals,  indus- 
try, and  business  limit  their  usage 
of  electricity  and  conserve  in  as 
many  ways  as  possible. 

The  Electric  Power  Board  of 
Chattanooga,  which  delivers  elec- 
tricity to  Collegedale  has  notified 
SMC  to  exercise  conservation 
measures  along  with  the  com- 
munity or  be  subject  to  "brown 
outs." 

Already  '  'brown  outs ' '  have 
had  to  be  initiated  in  Oak  Ridge 
due  to  the  huge  amounts  of  elec- 
tricity consumed  there  in  the  Re- 


search and  Development  facilities 
of  the  Atomic  Energy  Commis- 


At  present.  TVA's  coal-fired 
power  plan  stock  piles  are  at  their 
lowest  level  since  1975.  Much  of 
the  coal  being  burned  now  is 
several  years  old,  and  its  sulfur 
content  is  low.  causing  the  effi- 
ciency of  coal-fired  power  plants 
to  be  below  normal. 

Several  suggestions  for  conser- 
vation made  by  TVA  include 
making  sure  all  unattended  apli- 
ances  and  lights  are  tun.ed  off 
when  not  in  use,  limited  usage  of 
hot  water,  and  maintaining 
thermostats  at  65  degn

No.  Financial  Aid  is  to  re-

families  who  cannot  afford

beyond  high  school  and  to 
fill  in  the  gap  for  families

the  cost.

Priority  will  be  given  to 
applicants  whose  applica- 
fions  are  complete  by  April

the  college  after  April  1  will 
be  processed  as  long  as 
funds  are  available.

Over  15  traffic  citations  are 
issued  each  week  in  Collegedale, 
and  the  majority  of  these  are 
written  to  speeders  on  the  new 
road,  said  Chief  of  Police  Thomas 
Keaton. 

Financially  speaking.  College- 
dale  is  the  best  place  in  the  area 
toget  a  ticket.  The  minimum  fine 
's  $5  plus  court  costs.  Chat- 
fanooga's  traffic  court  has  a  min- 
imum fine  of  $10,  with  court  costs 
of  $10.25. 

Although  most  drivers  in  Col- 
legedale wouldn't  consider  35 
[n-P-h-  speeding,  on  the  new  en- 
hance road  that  velocity  could 
'^ad  to  a  fine. 

If  the  blue  lights  flash  in  the 
^}^^  of  Hamilton  County,  the 
violator  could   be  faced   with   a 


small  fine  of  $2,  but  exorbitant 
court  costs  of  $32.75. 

For  all  Collegedale,  Chatta- 
nooga, and  Hamilton  County  cita- 
tions, court  costs  must  be  paid, 
even  though  the  fine  is  settled  out 
of  court.

Editorial 


The  Power  Of  The  Press  Misused 


There's  a  standing  joke  among  Adventist  writers  about  people 
who  make  their  living  by  writing  for  the  church.  The  joke  is  that  they 
don't  exist.  It  seems  that  the  need  for  creative  and  fluent 
communication  hasn't  been  recognized.    At  least  not  until  now. 

The  Adventist  church  has  just  announced  a  milestone  in  com- 
munication advancement  --  a  fund  of  $37,500  for  college  writing  and 
communications  grants. 

Just  how  these  grants  are  going  to  be  used  hasn't  been  made 
clear.  There  are  several  possibilities;  new  classes,  guest  seminar 
speakers  or  added  part-time  help,  new  communications  equipment. 
The  creative  imagination  of  the  receiving  college  will  decide  how  the 
grant  will  be  used  to  encourage  the  talents  of  effective  christian 
writers. 

Great!  They  realize  we're  here.  Only  one  thing:  Good  writers  go 
where  the  grants  are.  And  the  grants  are  going  to  PUC  and  Andrews. 
What  about  SMC? 

It's  true  we're  not  the  biggest  college  or  even  the  biggest 
English-Communications  department.  But  the  South  has  a  tradition 
of  good  writing  and  as  someone  has  pointed  out,  a  good  part  of  the 
college-contributed  articles  in  Insight  are  written  by  SMC  students. 
It  doesn't  make  sense  that  SMC  has  been  overlooked  in  the  big  divvy. 
Sound  like  greedy  children?  Well  maybe  we  are.  But  the  writers 
are  going  to  the  promised  land  where  the  programs  and  the  grants 


Dear  Editor: 

1  am  writing  in  regard  to  the 
Editorial  of  February  16  which 
gave  your  publication's  endorse- 
ments of  candidates  running  for 
the  most  contested  offices  in  the 
recent  Student  Association  races. 
I  cannot  agree  with  this  policy  of 
the  Southern  Accent  and  would 
like  to  present  the  following  rea- 
sons why. 

First,  your  publication  is  a 
newspaper.  Its  purpose  as  such  is 
to  report  the  news,  not  to  go  on 
political  preference  pagents. 
Should  you  profess  to  be  a  gossip 
column,  I  could  see  merit  in  such 
actions  as  you  have  displayed  in 
your  endorsing  of  candidates. You 
do  not.  however,  and  I  find  it 
difficult  to  condone  this  abuse  of 
your  privilege  of  publication. 

Not  only  are  you  stepping 
beyond  your  own  declared  inten- 


sions, as  printed  in  the  masthead, 
of  being  ^e  voice  of  the  students 
of  Southern  Missionary  College. 

No  Committee  or  group  of  per- 
sons, no  matter  how  well  selected 
or  conscientious,  can  adequately 
give  the  opinion  of  the  entire 
body.  If,  indeed,  you  intend  to  be 
the  voice  of  the  students,  a  well 
constructed  opinion  poll,  perhaps 
administered  on  the  lower  portion 
of  the  chapel  cards,  would  be  a 
much  more  accurate  means  of 
achieving  your  professed  goal. 

Lastly,  you  are  taking  on  a 
responsibility  of  influence  that 
was  never  meant  to  be  exercised 
by  you  in  that  way.  Many  persons 
are  influenced  by  what  you  print 
to  the  point  of  not  even  consider- 
ing any  other  candidates.  Even 
though  you  have  done  your  best 
to  be  unbiased  in  your  choices

and,  in  the  future,  it  would  be 
well  if  you  refrained  from  using

Party  Denies

Dear  Editor: 

Over  the  past  couple  of  semes- 
ters many  people  have  inquired 
about  the  People's  Party.  Some 
have  asked  if  we  were  for  real. 
Others  have  openly  stated  that  we 
were  a  group  of  subversive  com- 
munists! 

Last  year  Dee  Hartsfield  (the 
Field  Marshal)  and  I  (the  Em- 
peror) ran  for  the  SA  offices  of 
vice-president  and  president  re- 
spectively. We  gave  birth  to  the 
slogan  "Power  to  the  People"  in 
an  effort  to  unify  the  student  body 
and  develop  the  power  available 
to  us  as  a  student  government. 
All  who  were  here  at  that  time 
know  that  we  were  overwhelm- 
ingly defeated! 

A  real  good  case  can  be  built  to 
sho^  that  Dee  and  I  leaned  heavi 
ly  toward  socialism,  but  that  is  a 
far  cry  from  "Subversive  com- 
munism". This  year  the  People's 
Party  has  become  less  vocal  and 
turned  into  a  more  conservative 
party.  We  have  also  added  a 
great  deal  to  our  organizational 
membership,  which  now  reaches 
to  30  active  members. 

In  closing,  I  would  like  to  state 
that  the  People's  Party  in  no  way 
influenced  the  writing  of  The  W^' 
belan  Press.  We  as  a  party 
defend  the  right  to  write  such  a 
paper,  but  we  believe  that  it 
something  is  worth  writing, 
worth  a  signature.

Randy  has  really  appreciated 
all  the  cards,  letters,  and  visits 
from  the  students  at  SMC.  This 
has  helped  make  his  days  in 
Special  Care  at  Erlanger  much 
brighter.  The  words  of  encour- 
agement have  kept  his  spirits -up 
and  helped  him  to  realize  more 
and  more  that  God  has  a  plan  for 
him.  Keep  it  up. 

He  is  eager  to  be  transferred  to 
Ctaig  Hospital  in  Denver  so  he 
canbegin  his  rehabilitation.  They 
have  given  us  a  very  tentative 
date  to  transfer  him  the  week  of 
March  13.  He  still  believes  a 
miracle  can  happen,  and  we  ask 
that  you  all  continue  to  pray  for 
Mm. 

We  know  that  this  accident  has 
brought  a  lot  of  you  closer  to  your 
Savior.  He  loves  us  more  than  we 
can  understand.  We  know  He  has 
permitted  this  to  happen  to  pre- 
pare Randy  and  us  to  dwell  with 
Him  forever.  I  am  sure  many  will 


Randy's  Gift 

Dear  Editor: 

In  response  to  the  letter  in  the 
lastissueof  the  Accent,  we  would 
like  to  thanl(  all  those  who  contri- 
buted towards  Randy  Peterson. 
He  already  had  a  tape  recorder, 
so  we  bought  him  some  tapes  and 
gave  the  remaining  $150  to  him  in 

leash. 

Randy  was  very  thankful.   You 

I  »11  put  a  giant  smile  on  his  face. 

I  It's  nice  to  know  someone  cares  I

be  there,  too,  as  a  result  of  this 
accident. 

Randy  was  so  surprised  when 
we  opened  the  envelope  from  the 
students  at  SMC.  The  money  wUI 
be  kept  for  him  until  he  decides 
how  he  would  like  to  use  it.  His 
first  idea  was  to  buy  a  new  suit.  I 
am  sure  he  will  'spend'  it  several 
times  before  he  makes  the  final 
decision.  He  will  enjoy  listening 
to  the  tapes  which  you  sent  as  he 
loves  good  music.  They  help  to 
pass  the  Sabbath  hours  in  the 
hospital.  You  have  all  been  just 
great.  Mr.  Peterson  and  I  want  to 
express  our  appreciation  also. 


The  scroll  you  sent  was  really  a 
clever  idea,  and  he  has  enjoyed 
reading  the  different  messages. 
It  will  take  him  quite  a  while  to 
finish  reading  it  and  enjoying  the 
pictures,  but  it  will  give  him  many 
hours  of  pleasure. 

May  God  bless  you  all  during 
this  school  year.  Thanks  so  much 
for  everything. 

Sincerely, 

Mrs.  Beulah  Peterson

Flood-Devosfated  College 
Soys  Thank  You 


Dear  Editor  and  Students: 

You  are  a  very  important  part 
of  converting  tragedy  into 
triumph.  We  thank  you  for  what 
you  mean  to  Toccoa  Falls  in  our 
hour  of  trial.  November  6th,  and 
all  of  its  horrible  devastation  is 
less  and  less  visible.  Where 
beautiful  homes  once  stood  we 
now  have  naked  but  well  contour- 
ed land.  Thirty-nine  laughing, 
working,  happy  Christians  are 
conspicuous  by  their  absence,  but 
Toccoa  Falls  College  is  getting 
back  into  the  business  of  a 
"normal  life".  Your  support  is 
making  this  possible. 

Soon  workmen  will  begin  to 
construct  a  third  wing  of  our 
men's  dormitory  and  others  will 


begin  work  on  married  students 
apartments.  Things  are  literally, 
buzzing  and  we  are  grateful  for 
your  part  in  making  in  all  happen. 
We  are  a  long  ways  from 
having  our  needs  met.  The  truth 
is,  sometimes  the  enormity  of  all 
that  must  be  done  staggers  us, 
but,  our  God  is  able  to  supply  all 
our  needs  according  to  His  riches. 
We  at  Toccoa  Falls  College  have 
been  "through  the  fire  and 
through  the  flood  and  we  expect 
Him  to  take  us  out  into  a  wealthy 
place"  (Psalm  66:10,  12).  Thank 
you  for  helping  us  do  it.  Our. 
receipt  number  9339  for  your 
gracious  gift  of  $625.00  is 
attached. 

Joyfully  yours  in  Christ's  service,

J       DGary  Williams 

We  have  come  to  a  place  in  our 
church  histoo'  when  we  no  longer 
need  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy.  It 
was  needed  in  the  eariy  years  of 
our  development,  but  today  we 
are  fully  grown,  and  it  is  no 
longer  necessary. 

This  may  startle  some.  From 
others  there  will  be  shouts  of 
"Amen."  and  from  some  there 
will  be  an  immediate  reaction  of 
condemnation.  My  question  to 
you  is:  How  do  you  view  the 
Spirit  of  Prophecy? 

Does  it  have  any  meaning  for 
today?  Can  it  be  read  and  studied 
to  make  its  counsels  practical  or  is 
it  ignored  and  allowed  to  lay  on 
the  shelf? 

If  the  Bible  and  Spirit  of  Pro- 
phecy are  your  daily  study,  then 
there  will  be  a  marked  difference 
in  your  inward  and  outward  be- 
havior. 1  am  not  refering  to  class 
assignments;  I  am  talking  about 
personal  devotional  habits. 

We  tend  to  forget  what  the 
church — you  and  1 — is  about  to  go 
through.  With  strange  weather 
conditions,  union  activities,  the 
increasing  transportation  disas- 
ters (never  forget  that  we  have  a 
railroad  line  running  through  Col- 
legedale.  and  sometimes  we  tend 
to  get  the  idea  that  Happy  Valley 
is  untouchable  by  disaster,  but  is 
it?),  are  we  preparing  for  the 
greatest  disasters  (both  natural 
and  manmade)  that  will  ever 
touch  our  world?

College  Grants  Exhibit 
Church's  New  Interest 
In  Communications 


In  an  effort  to  attract  more 
young  people  to  writing  careers, 
the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Church  has  established  a  $37,.'^00 
fund  to  support  selected  English, 
communication  and  religious 
writing  programs.  The  action  was 
taken  in  response  to  the  needs  of 
publishing  houses  and  medical 
and  educational  institutions  for 
competent  writers  at  a  wide  va- 
riety of  administrative  and  crea- 
tive levels. 

The  funds  are  provided  by  the 
General  Conference,  the  Review 
and  Herald,  Pacific  Press  -ind 
Southern  Publishing  associations, 
and  a  private  sou-'ce.  Applica- 
tions for  grants  must  be  made 
through  the  General  Conference 
Board  of  Higher  Education. 

The  first  awards  of  $3,000  each 


w-ere  made  to  Andrews  University 
and  Pacific  Union  College.  Mod- 
est grants  to  other  SDA  colleges 
and  universities  will  be  con- 
sidered and  awarded  annually, 
according  to  established  criteria, 
during  the  five-year  period  of  the 
program. 

In  addition  to  the  immediate 
value  to  current  writing  programs 
at  Andrews  and  PUC.  these 
grants  underscore  the  commit- 
ment of 'church  leadership  and 
publishing  house  managements 
to  aid  those  with  writing  talent. 
The  grants  further  underscore  the 
leadership's  understanding  of  its 
partnership  role  with  education  to 
produce  able  communicators  of 
the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Church. 


Laws   and  Service 

All  things  in  heaven 
and  in  earth 

declare  the  great  law  of  life 
is  a  law  of  service. 

The  infinite  Father  ministers 

to  the  life  of  every  living  thing. 

Christ  came  to  the  earth 
"as  He  that  serveth." 

The  same  law  of  service 

is  written  upon  all  things  in  nature. 
The  birds  of  the  air, 
the  beasts  of  the  field, 
the  trees  of  the  forest, 
the  leaves, 
the  grass, 
the  flowers, 

the  sun  in  the  heavens, 
the  stars  of  light 
— all  have  their  ministry. 

Lake  and  ocean, 
river  and  water  spring 
— each  takes  to  give. 

The  same  laws  which  govern 

the  things  of  nature 

and  events  of  life 
are  to  control  us. 

They  are  given  for  our  good; 
Only  in  obedience  to  them  can  we  find 
true  happiness  and  success. 

Arranged  as  poetry  from  Education 


If  we  take  our  divine 
guidance  and  their  view  of  the 
future  seriously,  then  we'd  better 
be  getting  our  act  together.  Yet 
there  seems  to  be  a  growing 
indifference  among  us  to  the 
whole  thing.  1  must  base  that 
st:ii  '"innt  on  my  observations  of 
vvhai  -e  are  doing  in  our  conver- 
sauoits.  our  reading  habits,  our

CK.I  A  4.0  GPA  should  not  be  our 
only  goal;  our  liberal  arts  pro- 
gram should  train  us  how  to  use 
our  knowledge  for  the  glorifica- 
tion of  God. 

"Higher  than  the  highest  hu- 
man thought  can  reach  is  God's 
ideal  for  His  children.  Godli- 
ness— Godlikeness — is  the  goal  to 
be  reached..."  Ed.  18 

Our  neglect  of  the  Bible  and  the 
Spirit  of  Prophecy  causes  our 
indifference  to  the  whole  spec- 
trum of  life.  It  gives  us  the 
highest  purpose  for  our  worship, 
our  education,  our  future  and  our 
destiny.    Do  you  get  the  point? 

Are  we  preparing  for  eternity 
or  death?  Our  daily  devotional 
habits  answer  that  question.  How 
is  it  with  you  today?

headed. 

"Now  I'll  head  him  off  at  the

as  I  narrowly  miss  him  again.

and  tail  him  until  I  see  these  little

to  trap  Dr.  Knittel  when  I  next  see 


him. 

It  doesn't  take  long  for  me  to 
find  him,  or  at  least  I  think  that

is  heading  for  the  Student  Center-

AMI! 

I  plant  my  feet  firmly  as  he 
bears  down  on  me,  only  to  feel  the 
rush  of  wind  as  he  whooshes  past 
me.  I  yell.  He  slows  to  55  and 
looks  back  over  his  shoulder.  1 
am  running  full  force  now,  and 
finally  catch  him  down  by  the 
cafeteria  entrance.    He  stops. 

"Well  Donnie,"  he  says  in  a 
voice  not  even  strained  by  heavy 
breathing,  "How  good  it  is  to  see 
you!  Where  DO  you  keep  your- 
self these  days?  Are  you  ready  to 
take  a  few  notes  for  The  Accent? 
Let's  go  down  to  my  office." 

We  are  off  again!  The  tables  m 
the  cafeteria  are  a  blur  as  we 
"walk"  to  his  office. 

I  collapse  in  one  of  his  chairs,

still  have  to  change.  I'm  off

A  Great  Season  Leaves 
Golden  Memories 


nsteve  Thompsi 
The  most  popular  season  that 
takes  place  on  SMC's  campus 
ever>-  year  is  finally  over.  And 
the  oniy  thing  that's  left  is  mem- 
ories. Finally  Ken  Burham's  pen 
can  take  a  rest.  Who  is  Ken 
Burham?  Well,  he  is  the  guy  with 
the  beard  who  tried  to  keep  up 
with  the  "Buns"  scoring  record 
as  he  brought  in  the  stats.  Ken's 
stats,  added  a  touch  of  N.B.A.  to 


the  season. 

Finally  Barts  engraves  his  gold- 
en crown  with  the  numbers  of 
"78".  Things  took  place  in  the  A 
league  that  brought  smiles. 
Russel  Eberhart  took  the  title  and 
Ian  Cornow  took  honors  of  captur- 
ing C  league. 

But  most  of  all,  the  youngest 
team  to  form  on  campus  took 
away  the  Rees  Series  title.    The 


Freshman  Class  bowed  to  no 
man's  defense  and  walked  away 
musically  with  the  sounds  of  their 
cheerieaders  chanting  "We  are 
the  Champions." 

Yes,  the  season  was  fine  and  it 
is  now  over.  But  if  it  was  not  fine 
for  you.  remember  the  words  of 
another  who  felt  the  sting  of 
defeat.  "The  Greatest",  My 
chance  shall  come  again. 


Curnow  &  Cress  Clash  For 
C  League  Championship 


DReuben  Castillo 

The  basketball  season's  over 
aqd  the  dusl  has  settled.  C 
league  saw  a  dynamic  battle  bet- 
ween Curnow  and  Cress.  Midway 
through  the  season  both  teams 
were  undefeated  when  they  met 
for  the  first  time. 

Both  teams  brought  a  horren- 
dous history  of  blowing  op- 
ponents off  the  courts.  Curnow 
came  awav  the  winner  by  only  two 
points.  44-42.  It  was  closer  than 
that.  Neither  team  lost  again 
until  they  met  again.  Cress  was 
out  to  get  revenge  for  his  earlier 
loss. 

It  was  a  hard-fought  game  and 
Cress  prevailed  to  even  the  score. 
Both  teams  were  now  tied  for  first 
with  only  one  loss  each.  The  rest 
of  the  season  neither  team  lost  a 
game  until  the  very  last  game  of 
the  season. 

They  met  for  the  last  time. 


champion   of   C    league.       Both 

teams  were  primed  and  ready  to 

play,    adrenalin    flowing    like    a 

fountain. 

This  game  would  decide   the 


The  players  played  hard  for  hvo 
halves.  When  the  final  buzzer 
-  sounded,  Curnow  was  ahead  of 
Cress.  Both  teams  are  worthy  of 
our  congratulations. 


Webster  Continues 
Winning   Ways 


DReuben  Castillo 

Well,  B  league  is  a  replay  of 
our  Softball  intramural  champion. 
Ted  Webster.  Webster  winning 
is  beginning  to  become  a  habit. 
As  you  remember,  Webster  fin- 
ished first  in  the  softball  league. 
Now  he's  done  it  again.  Webster 
finished  with  a  10-2  record.  The

Dating— The  Most 
Popular  Sport 

Bffiebali  and  seweral  other  sports— horaeshoe  pitching,  sunbathing,  Ice  cream  cone 
selling,  and  midnight  surfing,  to  name  a  few— utilize  the  beginning  months  of  the  year 
for  an  a:tivity  commonly  called  "spring  training,"  which  preparaa  the  athletes  for  full 

participation  during  the  surrener. 

But  man's  oldest  sport  peaks  during  theee  months  and  dimaxes  In  May  and  June 
when  the  majority  of  finals  are  consummated.  TTw  game?  Not  Christians  vs.  Uons,  not 
Sharit-huntere  vs.  Jaws,  not  even  Talge  vs.  Village.  Try  Male  vs.  Female,  the  sutrtly  and 
highly  evolved  form  of  recreation  known  to  mankind. 

The  rules  are  fundamentally  simple,  but  In  practice  complex  and  variant  to  the  point 
o(  orderiessnass.  The  object  of  the  game  Is  to  capture  the  affect  lons(known  as  the 
"hearl")  of  someone  on  the  opposing  team.  The  most  successful  players  (known  as 
popular  persons)  may  tiave  as  much  as  a  dormful  of  opposing  athletes  competing  among 
themselves  for  the  popular  person's  attention.  fJot  Infrequently,  two  players  will  capture 
each  other's  hearts  simultaneously.  In  which  case  they  are  disqi^lfled  from  active 
participation  and  put  to  the  business  of  pnxJucing  and  training  new  players. 

Although  no  mearra  are  impermissiblQ  In  the  game  (cases  of  attempted  bribery  of 
Cupid  being  on  record),  the  female  team  is  nevertheless  at  somewt^at  of  a  disadvantage. 
Ouetoastrangesetof  rules  (known  33  "Amy  Vanderbiit's  Dating  Do's  and  Don'ts"  and 
similar  versions),  the  males  are  allowed  overt  operation  and  the  females  must  resort  to 
covert  methods  (which  are  more  difficult,  albeit  more  challenging,  it  would  seem) 
involving  elatxirate  subteriuges  and  piottings.  Many  girls  have  developed  this  into  an 
advanced  art  form  and  many  a  male  would  be  shocked  if  he  became  aware  of  the  subtle 
means  employed  to  induce  him  to  ask  out  his  weekend  date. 

Currently,  the  more  militant  women  are  demanding  that  the  rules  be  cfianged;  the 
smarter  gals  are  simply  ignoring  the  rules.  Irregardless  of  their  efforts  the  game  wrili  still 
remain  much  the  same.  Girls  will  still  express  false  surprise  at  finally  being  asked  out  by 
slow-witledmalesonwtwm  they  have  been  subtly  "working"  for  weeks.  Guys  will  still 
attempt  to  "gel  the  bait  without  ttw  hook"  and  vrill  still  discover  that  "what  can  kiss  can 

Players  of  both  teams  will  still  get  too  carried  away  on  occasion  and  break  the  hearts 
they  have  captured.  And  most  will  still  eventually  be  disqualified,  which  is  really  best, 
because  that  way  everybody  wins.  hu  r««  rw™ 


Emperor  A  John  BircNer? 


The   Emperor 

Stands 

Corrected 

Dear  Editor: 

After  reading  the  Emperor's 
letter,  I  decided  to  check  out  what 
actually  was  the  difference  be- 
tween socialism  and  communism. 

According  to  Webster,  com- 
munism is  a  step  in  reaching  the 
stage  of  socialism. 

True,  socialism,  in  its  pure 
state  of  share  and  share  alike,  is  a 
truly  great  ideal  to  strive  for.  But 
human  nature  being  what  it  is,  a 
truly  socialistic  state  is  an  impos- 
sible dream  in  this  world. 

Melissa  Szijarto 

P.S.  And  besides,  a  socialistic 
government  couldn't  have  an 
emperor. 


Dear  Editor: 

Re:  Last  weeks'  letter  to  the 
editor  from  "Emperor"  Jerry  Lee 
Holt.  First  of  all  I'd  like  to  say 
thatif  the  "People's  Party"  leans 
toward  socialism,  Mr.  Holt  and 
cohorts  have  yet  to  learn  their  left 
hands  from  their  right.  Like 
many  who  claim  "liberalism"  on 
this  campus,  the  only  thingsocial- 
istic  about  the  "People's  Party" 
is  its  name.  A  serious  lack  of 
knowledge  as  to  what  constitutes 
socialism  seems  to  be  Mr.  Holt's 
problem.  Perhaps  he  should  con- 
sult his  Funk  and  Wagnall's. 

It  is  also  interesting  to  note  that 
Mr.  Holt  and  the  majority  of  the 
members  of  the  "People's  Party" 
are  vapid  chauvinists.  The 
"people"  in  "People's  Party" 
concerns,  for  the  most  part,  the 
men  in  the  organization.  If  wom- 
en are  considered,  one  finds  them 
to  be  mostly  simpering,  giggly.

hunt  followed  by  an  auction  for 
box  lunches.  Colored  eggs  with 
assigned  number  values  will  be 
hidden;  the  greater  the  point 
value  of  the  egg,  the  more  diffi- 
cult it  should  be  to  find.  There 
will  be  three  "big"  eggs  stashed, 
red,  silver,  and  gold  worth  30,  40, 
and  50  points  respectively. 

A  person  tries  to  find  as  many 
eggs  as  he  can  in  order  to  ac- 
cumulate points.  The  points  can 
then  be  used  as  money  at  the 
auction  to  buy  decorated  box  lun- 
ches which  will  have  been  made 
by  the  girls  (the  giris  go  with  their 
boxes).  To  add  to  the  fun,  a 
contest  will  be  held  to  award  cash 
prizes  to  the  three  people  who 
accumulate  the  highest  point  tal- 
lies with  their  eggs. 

The  person  with  the  highest 
point  count  will  receive  $25,  the 
second  highest  point-getter  will 
receive  $15,  and  the  third  high- 
est-point scorer  will  receive  $10.

MEMORIES  Makes  Dating  Suggestion     \'Z!^l!^r^'Tn^\ 


pear  Editor: 

I  appreciate  your  letting  me 
;  read  the  results  of  your  poll  abut 
dating  at  SMC.  From  the  dif- 
ferent answers  and  comments,  I 
got  the  impression  that  the  stu- 
dents feel  something  seems  to  be 
going  wrong  in  the  area  of  dating. 

Most  of  the  guys  who  answered 
the  poll  {52  per  cent)  said  that 
they  don't  date  because  they  have 
no  time,  no  money,  or  no  car.  It 
seems  like  you're  required  to 
have  money,  a  car,  and  enough 
time  to  go  downtown  for  a  datel 
In  other  instances,  some  felt  they 
were  afraid  to  be  hurt,  or  just 
merely  shy.  Only  six  per  cent 
said  they  don't  have  any  interest 
at  all. 

The  girls,  on  the  other  side, 
feel  there  should  be  more  action 
on  this  campus  (surprising?).  As 
a  matter  of  fact,  62  per  cent  felt 
pressured  to  date,  and  95  per  cent 
would  say  "yes"  if  asked.  When 
asked  if  they  would  ask  out  a  guy, 
a  surprising  1/3  said  "yes."  It's 
important  to  know  at  this  point 
that  92  per  cent  of  the  guys  would 
not  mind  being  asked  out. 


In  the  light  of  these  revelations 
I  have  a  two-fold  suggestion  to 
make.  First,  to  separate  as  a 
matter  of  experiment  one  or  two 
weekends  a  month  when  the  girls 
(those  who  want  to)  would  ask  the 
guys  out.  This  could  be  promoted 
by  the  dorm  clubs  in  a  genera! 
way.  As  men  we  are  used  to 
hearing  a  "no",  but  I  don't  know 
what  could  happen  if  suddenly  a 
third  of  the  girls  took  the  initiative 
and  asked  out  someone  among 
the  92  per  cent  of  the  guys  who 
wouldn't  mind. 

Secondly,  the  guys  would  sup- 
port this  initiative  (or  just  on  their 
own)  by  asking  out  either  the 
same  girl  or  somebody  else.  The 
fact  that  over  half  of  the  men 
don't  ask  out  because  they  don't 
have  the  time  or  a  car  to  go 
off-campus,  or  no  money  to  pay 
for  pizza  or  burritos,  reveals 
that  we  need  more  social  activi- 
ties on  this  campus  besides  the 
cultural  programs  such  as  con- 
certs, and  talent  programs. 

I  believe  that  the  Student  As- 


sociation should  take  the  initiative 
in  this  respect.  Other  clubs  and 
groups  on  campus  can  prepare 
other  kind  of  activities,  especially 
the  dorm  clubs  who,  needless  to 
say,  have  done  more  this  year 
than  the  SA  Social  Activities 
Committee  has. 

Does  this  sound  fair  enough? 
According  to  the  poll  93  per  cent 
of  the  students  on  this  campus 
would  like  to  do  something  about 
it.  Of  course,  to  be  asked  out 
once  or  twice  does  not  necessarily 
mean  that  you  are  going  to  marry 
that  person.  Marriage  does  not 
have  to  be  the  immediate  result  of 
dating.  What  about  fellowship, 
friendship,  or  just  for  fun? 
Chances  are.  however,  that  by 
getting  in  contact  with  a  broader 
spectrum  of  personalities  we'll  be 
more  capable  of  making  a  better 
decision,  or  the  best  choice,  if  you 
please.

Sonthem  Memories 


The    Editors    Have  Their    Rights,  Too 


Dear  Editor: 

Has  the  power  of  the  press 
been  misused?  This  is  a  question 
that  has  been  sounded  against  the 
freedom  of  the  press  for  many 
generations,  not  only  on  our  cam- 
pus, but  all  over  the  world. 

In  a  letter  to  the  editor  printed 
March  16.  a  statement  was  made 
that  The  Southern  Accent  stepped 
beyond  their  declared  intentions 
I  as  the  "voice  of  the  students." 
The  person  who  wrote  this  was 
I  being  granted  the  right  to  have 
i  his  opinion  printed  in  the  place 
I  provided  for  student  opinion  -- 
I  the  editorial  section.    This  is  the 


purpose  of  the  editorial  section, 
and  so  it  should  be. 

But  this  person  tried  to  con- 
vince us  that  because  the  editors 
of  our  paper  have  influence,  they 
should  not  be  able  to  submit  their 
opinion,  v^hat,  then,  has  hap- 
pened to  their  right  to  have  their 
opinion  printed? 

The  issue.  I  think,  is  that  some 
feel  endorsements  are  unfair.  I 
remind  you  that  anyone  who 
wished  to  have  their  endorsement 
printed  could  have  done  so  as  the 
Men's  Club  did  in  the  issue  fol- 
lowing the  editor's  endorsement.

deny  any  connection  with  the

Party,  in  free  speech.  However,  I 
also  was  among  those  that  were 
looking  for  a  signature  to  be 
attached  to  this  piece  of  litera- 
ture. However,  realizing  the 
most  unfortunate  problems  that 
the  "editors"  of  this  paper  may 
get  from  the  administration,  1  can 
see  why  it  wasn't  attached. 

The  editors  of  said  paper  will 
probably,  however,  want  to  take 
note  and  add  the  following  to 
their  already  scholarly  subscrip- 
tion list:  village  students  and  Dr.

G 


Southern  Matrimonial  Col.? 


Dear  Editor: 

A  number  of  years  ago  I  came 
to  SMC  believing,  as  I  still  do, 
that  SMC  was  where  God  wanted 
me.  A  relationship  that  I  had  with 
a  girl  had  ended  the  summer 
before,  and  I  felt  I  was  starting 
everything  all  over. 

I  met  a  "with  it"  faculty  mem- 
ber and  talked  to  him  about  my 
lifework  and  relating  to  the  oppo- 
site sex.  He  told  me  I  should  date 
around  as  much  as  I  could  to 
become  acquainted  with  as  many 
young  women  as  1  could.  Re- 
garding the  possibilities  of  ever 
finding  a  mate  he  said,  "When 
you  find  her,  you'll  know  she's 
the  one." 

I  followed  his  advice,  and  al- 
though I  met  a  lot  of  fantastic 
girls,  I  could  never  settle  my  mind 
on  just  one.  The  right  one  didn't 
seem  to  exist.  Besides,  I  was 
dating  because  I  wanted  to  meet 
many  girls,  not  because  I  wanted 
to  get  married. 

Then  I  began  asking  myself, 
What  is  the  purpose  of  going  to 
college?  Is  it  to  gain  an  educa- 
tion? Is  it  to  prepare  for  a  work  in 
the  Lord's  vineyard?  Is  it  to  find  a 
mate? 

I  found  some  very  interesting 
statements:  "While  at  school, 
students  should  not  allow  their 
minds  to  become  confused  by 
thoughts  of  courtship.  They  are 
there  to  gain  a  fitness  to  work  for 
God,  and  this  thought  is  ever  to 
be  uppermost."  Counsels  to 
Teachers,  p.  100. 

"The  course  pursued  at  the 
college  by  Brother  C.  in  seeking 
the  society  of  young  ladies,  was 
wrong.  This  was  not  the  object 
for  which  he  was  sent  to  Battle 
Creek.  Students  are  not  sent  here 
to  form  attachments,  to  indulge  in 
flirtation  or  courting  [passion  pit. 
Student  Center?!,  but  to  obtain  an 
education.   4T,  p.  433. 

There  is  nothing  anywhere  m 
the  Bible  or  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy 
that  I  could  find  that  suggests 
dating  on  a  serious  level,  court- 
ing, or  thinking  of  marriage  while 


in  school.  {I  wonder  if  anyone  can 
date  a  member  of  the  opposite  sex 
without  one  of  the  two  becoming 
more  Involved  in  time.)  A  guy 
and  a  girl  need  to  find  out  first 
where  their  special  place  in  God's 
work  is.  The  guy  must  have  a 
means  of  support  (MYP,  p.  461) 
and  it  is  even  suggested  that  he 
acquire  property."  2  SM,  pp. 
420,  421. 

And  yet,  regardless  of  the 
above  counsel  which  I  choose  to 
believe  as  it  stands,  there  are 
those  who  are  concerned  about 
me  so  much  that  they  wish  me  to 
date  more  than  I  am,  saying, 
"When  will  you  ever  be  in  a 
better  position  to  find  a  life  com- 
panion ever  again?"  I  won't  and 
that's  the  fact. 

But  God  will  work  things  out  in 
His  own  way  in  His  own  good 
time.  I  want  God's  choice  of 
special  work  and  a  special  girl. 
Were  I  to  make  those  decisions  on 
my  own,  I  would  end  up  like  many 
others — divorced,  discouraged,  a 
possible  suicide  victim. 

In  the  book  God's  Smoggler 
there  is  a  fitting  paragraph. 
"When  you  are  ready,  she  is 
ready;  God  will  let  you  know. 
Neither  of  you  will  feel  pressured. 
It  will  be  relaxed,  comfortable, 
interesting,  and  a  rewarding  ex- 
perience for  both  of  you.  So,  do 
the  things  that  are  most  neces- 
sary to  assure  your  education  and 
graduation.  God  is  most  capable 
of  supplying  our  needs  in  His  own 
time  and  place." 


Lights  Please! 

Dear  Editor: 

Could"  someone  please  turn  the 
lights  back  on  in  the  back  stair- 
way leading  from  the  Cafeteria 
and  Student  Center.  There 
is  nothing  like  falling  down  a  long 
stairway  in  the  dark!

3   Women  Ask   Out  3   Guys   &   Start 

SHAKING  THE  SMC  DATING  TRADITION 


DDebra  Gainer 

SMC  is  a  conservative  Southern 
college.  Yet  even  here,  in  our 
peaceful  valley,  the  rumblings  of 
a  new  movement  can  be  heard. 
The  Accent  talied  to  three  SMC 
girls  --  regular  girls  they  are,  no 
women's  libbers  --  who  took  the 
initiative  to  reverse  the  traditional 
dating  roles.  They  each  asked  a 
guy  out  on  a  formal  date. 

It  was  a  new  and  somewhat 
frightening  experience  for  all  pf 
them.  One  girl  agonized  for  foiir 
days  before  she  got  up  the  cour- 
age to  call  a  guy  and  invite  him 
out  to  eat.  She  said  that  the  initial 
asking  was  the  worst  part.  On  the 
outside,  her  voice  was  forced  into  ■ 
perfect  control,  but  on  the  inside 
she  felt  like  she  was  "just  ready 


to  fall  through  the  floor."  When 
he  behaved  like  it  was  a  normal 
occurrence  and  nonchalantly  said, 
sure  he'd  be  glad  to,  then  she  was 
so  excited  she  jumped  about  three 
feet  off  that  floor  she'd  felt  like 
falling  through. 

Another  girl  said  that  the  ask- 
ing was  scary  because  of  how  he 
might  feel  about  it.  She  thought 
that  "if  he  wanted  to  go  out  with 
me,  he  would  have  asked  me." 
Apparently,  he  didn't  think  that 
way,  because  he  accepted  with 
alacrity;  She  still  felt  a  little 
funny.  Maybe  he  accepted  be- 
cause he  was  too  surprised  to  say 
no.  She  noted  that  guys  are  not 
practiced  in  the  feminine  ways  of 
and  refijsal. 


None  of  the  men  gave  the 
shocked  reactions  the  girls  had 
waited  for  with  such  trepidation. 
They  all  reacted  with  easy  equa- 
nimity, if  with  some  surprise  at 
this  unprecedented  turn  of  e- 
vents.  One  guy  said  he  was 
delighted  that  the  girl  had  the 
freedom  to  go  ahead  and  ask  him 
out.  He  did  note  that  his  reaction 
might  not  have  been  so  immedi- 
ately congenial  if  he  had  been 
approached  by  a  total  stranger. 

Once  the  initial  step  had  been 
taken  and  accepted,  mode  of 
transportation  was  the  next  con- 
cern. Two  girls  were  more  com- 
fortable allowing  the  man  to  drive 
his  own  car.  They  decided  he 
would  feel  more  masculine  and 
more  in  control  of  the  unusual  . 
situation.  One  giri  went  all  out 
and  insisted  that  she  do  all  the 
driving,  even  that  she  pick  him  up 
at  the  proper  time.  She  felt  foolish 
waiting  around  in  the  men's  lobby 
for  her  date,  but  he  rather  en- 


joyed the  leisure  of  taking  his 
time  to  get  ready  -  not  having  to 
riish  over  to  her  dorm  to  sit  and  - 
wait  for  her. 

He  felt  a  little  strange  being 
chauffered  around  by  her,  but  he 
didn't  really  mind  it.  Things 
would  have  gotten  a  little  awk- 
ward though,  he  said,  if  she  had 
reached  over  to  put  her  arm  a- 
round  him  and  he'd  had  to  sit 
beside  her  in  the  middle  of  the' 
bench  seat.  That  would  have 
been  just  too  much  of  a  reversal. 

Each  of  the  girls  took  their  guys 
out  on  a  true  formal  date  --  two  to 
classy  restaurants,  one  to  a  dress- 
up  theatre  play.  The  guys  found 
themselves  just  sitting  back  and 
enjoying  it.  One  said  it  was  kind 
of  nice  to  let  the  giri  take  respons- 
ibility to  arrange  things  for  once. 
He  said  if  giris  had  this  great  a 
time  when  he  took  them  out,  he'd 
have  to  do  it  mor^  often. 

Some  awkwardness  arose  with 
the  matter  of  finances.   The  guys

found  it  difficult  to  escape  their 
established  role  and  kept  trying  to 
pay  the  whole  way  through  --  to 
pick  up  the  dinner  check,  pay  for

play.  Each  giri  insisted  on  paying 
for  everything,  on  the  premise 
that  if  she  did  the  asking  she 
should  do  the  paying.  It  was 
humorous  to  note  how  the  wai- 
tresses always  gave  the  check  to 
the  man,  and  were  surprised  to 
see  the  woman  take  care  of  it. 

By  the  end  of  the  evening,  the 
girls  had  gotten  over  their  uncom- 
fortable feelings  that  "he  might 
think  I'm  forward  and  aggres- 
sive," and  everyone  enjoyed 
themselves.  The  event  led  them 
into  discussions  in  the  area  of 
dating  and  role  reversals.  The 
guys  universally  said  they 
thought  it  was  a  marvelous  idea 
for  the  girls  to  ask  them  out. 
They  told  the  giris  to  keep  asking 
guys  for  dates,  advising  them  that 
guys  really  liked  it.  As  one  girl 
put  it,  it's  sort  of  like  sending  a 
Valentine  card  -  just  a  fnendly 
way  of  saying  you're  interestel-

Many  students  go  at  it  like  they 
have  to  find  a  companion  here  at 
SMC.  After  all,  if  you  don't  find 
one  here,  where  in  the"world" 
will  you  fine  one?  More  time  is 
often  spent  pursuing  this  goal 
than  classwork. 

Hordes  go  to  Adventist  colleges 
just  to  hunt  a  mate  and  end  up 
settling  for  second  best.  But  if 
you  don't  find  anybody  here  you 
really  want  to  spend  the  hext  60

married.    Yes,  man  was  not  cre- 
ated to  be  alone.  One  might  feel  a 
certain  Biblical  pressure  to  get 
married,  but  ask  God  to  use  you 
as  a  single  person,  and  if  you  are 
to  have  a  mate.  He'll  supply  one. 
but  a  person  can  rightly  choose 
to  be,  at  least  for  the  time  being, 
single.  Single  and  still  complete 
at  that.    No  screws  missing,  no 
inherent  abnormalities.   If  you  fit 
into  this   category,   you   should 
define  yourself  as  single  and  get 
on  with  life.  Don't  moan  over  the 
tacts  and  be  bitter.  A  single  man 
or  woman  does  not  have  to  lead 
the  frustrated   life   that   society 
depicts  -  old  maid,  spinster,  dirty 
old  man.  A  single  person  can  still 
live  and  love. 
After  all,  what  is  love  anyway? 
It's  friendship  blossomed  into  a 
sharing   of  oneself  totally.      A 
single    can    find    fulfillment    in 
friends  and  family  and  God.    As 
one  watches  the  soaring  divorce 
rate  among  young-married  Ad- 
ventists, one  becomes  more  de- 
termined to  wait  fill  the  "right 
one"  comes  along.

Malcing  It  After  The  Rejection 


D  Jeff  Mitchell,  reprinted  from  Listen  magazine,  March  1977. 
Qnestlon: 


What  do  yoD  do  when  you  love 
someone,  bnt  that  person  doesn't 
love  von  In  return? 

Answer: 


On. the  other  hand,  there  is  no     {person  into  trouble.    In  fact,  the 

way  you  can  draw  love  out  of     way  he  thinks  about  the  rejection 

another  person  if  he  doesn't  wish     lean  be  more  painful   than   the 

to  give  it  to  you.   He  has  to  give     irejection  itself.    The  simple  fact 

you  the  gift  of  love  if  he  wants  you     that  people  are  able  to  love  and 

to  have  it.  ^*spress  that  love  is  a  beautiful 

Many  people   think   there    is     and  good  thing.    Why  should  he 

something  wrong  with  them  if     feel  rotten  about  himself  if  some- 

My  first  thought  on  this  ques-     another  person   doesn't   accept     body  decides  that  he  doesn't  want 

tion  is  another  question,  "Does     their  love  and  return  it.  This  kind     the  love  that  is  being  given? 

the  pe^on  you  love  know  that  you     of  thought  pattern  can  really  get  a         Don't  get  discouraged   when 

love  him?" 

I  was  asked  the  same  question 
you  are  asking  from  a  former  stu- 
dent. I  found,  after  questioning 
her  about  the  situation,  that  she 
really  had  made  little  or  no  effort 
to  let  her  friend  know  that  she  felt 
very  strongly  about  him.  So  on 
the  surface  he  seemed  to  be 
ignoring  her.  After  he  got  the 
true  message  from  her,  he  paid 
more  attention  to  her.  They  are 
still  dating,  and  it's  now  been 
more  then  three  years. 

If  you've  made  your  messages 
clear  and  you're  still  not  receivmg 
any  love  in  return,  that  is  a 
painful  situation.  Rejection  is 
probably  the  most  painful  emo- 
tion a  person  Can  experience. 

A  few  thoughts  on  the  subject 
might  help  to  lessen  some  of  the 
pain  you  feel  when  the  love  you 
give  is  not  returned. 

The  word  "give"  is  the  key  to 
understanding  love.  You  give- 
love,  and  you  can  only  give  it 
freely.  No  one  can  take  it  from 
you  if  you  don't  want  to  give  it. 
Love  is  a  gift.  You  can't  force 
anybody  to  accept  a  gift  if  he 
really  doesn't  want  it.  So  you 
should  forget  about  pushing  your 
love  on  anybody. 


you  give  love  and  the  person 
doesn't  feel  the  same  way  you  do. 
Don't  blame  him  either,  gach 
person  marches  to  the  beat -of  a 
different  drummer,  and  his  need£ 
and  dreams  may  be  very  different 
from  your  own.  He  will  have  to 
find  his  own  way.  Keep  trying. 
Most  likely  you'll  soon  find  some- 
one with  whom  you  can  share 
your  love.

clear  blue  sky,  you  discover  en- 
gine trouble  in  your  relationship. 
The  first  thing  you  want  to  do  is 
radio  down  to  the  ground  for  help, 
but  you  have  already  flown  too 
high,  and  the  channels  of  com- 
munication are  jammed. 


"What  now?"  you  ask  yourself 
outofpanic.  "Whatam  Igoingto 

do  without  her?    I  feel  so  blue 

don't  know  what  to  do— built  my 
world  around  her." 

"Pilot  to  navigator,  pilot  to 
navigator,"  you  repeat  over  and 
over  to  yourself,  as  you  try  desper- 
ately  to  reach  your   logic 


How  long  would  it  be  before 
you  were  back  in  the  same  boat— 
I  mean  plane  again?  Would  the 
next  person  in  line  be  a  victim  of 


Srti'""""'""™"""''^     the  politics  of  experience?    How 
SO  you  ..I  yourself  and  tel,     ^br'^o^Lr^t:      ^t' ;:^2of''''^'^ 


make  the  next  person 
suffer  for  the  inadequaci< 
previous  romance? 

Say  your  engines  did 
slowiy  but  surely,  and  the  heart 
failure  was  under  control.  What 
are  you  going  to  do  when  the 
novelty  wears  off  and  you  are 
grounded  to  taking  out  the  gar- 
bage and  going  to  social  gather- 
ings of  no  interest  to  you?  What 
then— huh? 

Or  say  you're  flying  along  in 
your  relationship,  but  your  com- 
pass and  altitude  meter  aren't 
working  and  there  seems  to  be 
fog  around  you  no  matter  which 
way  you  turn.  Sure  you're  going, 
but  where?  "CRASHI"  Right 
into  Mother-in-law  Mountain. 
"Ouch,"  you  mutter  to  yourself, 
as  you  rub  the  goose  egg  on  your 
head  and  try  to  get  back  on  your 
feet. 

"Here,  son,"  her  father  says, 
"let  me  lend  you  some  money  to 
help  you  over  this  rough  spot. 
You  don't  have  to  worry  about 
paying  me  back." 

"But,  but  Mr.  Collins—!" 
"Nonsense,  my  boy!  We'll 
work  something  out  for  you  and 
the  little  lady.  Why  I  remember 
when  1  was  a  boy. .."  on  and  on  he 
went,  like  a  used  car  salesman 
whose  dime  seemed  to  never 
wear  out  once  you  jarred  his 
workings. 

How  about  the  time  you  got  in  a 
fight  and  she  said  tearfully,  "I'm 
going  home  to  Mother!"  and 
about  that  time  Mother  comes  to 
visit. 

How   can   you   go   home

The   TM's  Dilemma: 

No  Peach, 
No  Preach?

"No  peach,  no  preach."  "I  got 
to  find  a  woman."  These  labels 
and  others  are  often  applied  to 
theology  and  religion  majors,  and 
they  convey  the  impression  that 
every  theo  major  is  out  to  get 
married 

Rumors  run  rampant  that  at 
every  meeting  that  we  have,  this 
topic  is  emphasized.  If  people 
were  to  attend  our  chapels  and 
special  meetings  (they  are  open  to 
the  whole  shident  body)  they 
might  begin  to  realize  that  our 
primary  concern  is  the  finishing 
of  the  work  of  God,  which  in- 
volves every  member  of  God's 
church, 

"You  cannot  receive  a  call 
without  a  wife,"  is  false.  A 
number  of  my  friends  have  re- 
ceived calls  who  are  unmarried 
and  even  unengaged. 

"You  cannot  be  ordained  with- 
out a  wife,"  is  equally  ridiculous. 
A  fellow  can  be,  and  a  minister 
receives  the  same  pay  married  or 
unmarried. 

The  religion  department  real- 
izes of  course,  as  most  of  us  do, 


that  it  would  be  much  easier  for  a 
fuhire  minister  to  be  married 
because  of  the  pressures  of  the 
job,  but  the  department  does  not 
grab  us  by  the  neck  and  demand 
that  we  find  a  wife.  This  is  your 
own  personal  business.  And  of 
course  we  have  the  example  of 
Paul;  God  is  not  limited  only  to 
married  ministers. 

To  those  girls  who  feel  that 
dating  a  theo  major  is  running  the 
nsk  of  getting  hitched,  I  would 
say  that  there  may  be  a  few  risky 
ones,  bdt  the  majority  are  like  the 
rest  of  the  ordinary  guys  when  it 
comes  to  dating  and  marriage. 

Dating  is  a  good  way  to  form  a 
friendship.  We  firmly  believe  in 
the  principle  that  God  will  guide 
and  direct  in  our  interpersonal 
relationships  and  when  in  His 
time,  if  He  sees  fit,  then  a  friend- 
ship will  become  a  path  of  service 
for  Him  as  two  lives  blend  for  the 
primary  purpose  of  ministry. 

There  you  have  it  -  the  truth 
about  the  TM's  frantic  search  for 
a  wife.  Remember:  We're  still 
just  guys!

they  are  for  a  largo  part  Immalure.  discos

Games  In  The  Passion  Pit 


□  Steven  Zimmerman 

For  two  weeks.  II  experimenters  from  the 
Research  Methods  in  Behavioral  Science 
class  observed  as  indiscreetly  as  possible  the 
dating  behavior  of  students  in  the  Student 
Center. 

A  scale  of  dating  intimacy  from  one  to  ten 
was  used  to  assess  the  public  display  of 
intensive  interpersonal  behavior.  An  aver- 
age of  4.3,  the  equivalent  to  light  kissing  and 
the  display  of  moonie  eyes,  was  recorded  for 
dating  behavior  during  this  time. 

The  class  then  armed  themselves  with 
clipboards  and  observed  the  passion  pits  for 
two  more  weeks,  making  themselves  obvious 
and  obtrusive  to  see  if  this  would  have  any 
effect  on  the  dating  behavior  being  publicly 
displayed.  It  was  found  that  observers 
didn't  phase  anyone;  the  average  was  3.8, 
only  a  slight  drop  from  the  previous  4.3. 

In  the  next  couple  of  weeks  the  class  will 
be  continuing  its  research  study  of  dating 
behavior  in  the  Student  Center.  But  don*t 
worry,  they  say,  no  names  will  be  mentioned 
publicly. 

The  class   has   also   discovered   several 
dating  games  that  are  played  on  campus. 
Some  are  listed  below: 
The  "In  Crowd"  game.     This  game  is 


played  among  certain  cliques  which  require 
that  members  "have"  someone.  You're  n. 
if  you  don't  "have"  someone. 

The  "Play  It  Cool"  game.  Usually  played 
by  guys  too  shy  to  ask  for  dates  and  Xi, 
"''*"8.f°[ *^  fhy  guys  to  get  the  courL 

The  Three-Legged"  game.  Frequently 
seen  between  the  dorms  and  the  shoDDin» 
""!,'"■  !.!'''="''>'  ^""^  students  develoD 
walking  difficulties  and  require  help  to 
maneuver  across  campus.  For  some  reason 
the  help  must  come  from  the  opposite  sex  ' 

The  "Serious"  game.  This  game  is 
played  by  those  who  commit  themselves  for 
life  after  the  second  date. 

The  "Let's  Get  Married  So  We  Gel  A 
Call".  Often  played  by  seniors  and  theology 
majors.  This  game  promotes  carelessness 
and  haste. 

The  "What's  Going  On"  game.  Played  bv 
Freshmen. 

The  "Public  Display  of  Intensive  Inter- 
personal Behavior"  game.  Played  most 
intensively  by  those  deeply  involved  in  one 
of  the  previously  mentioned  dating  games 
Passersby  can  observe  this  game  beine 
played  in  the  Student  Center.

Aussner  Made  Chaplain 
Of  Life-Saving  CAP

"When  an  emergency  : 
is  declared,  tlie  Civil  Air  Patrol 
(CAP)  is  the  first  one  there, ' '  said 
Dr.  Rudolf  Aussner,  professor  of 
modern  languages.  Dr  Aussner 
was  recently  promoted  to  the 
position  of  CAP  chaplain  for 
Group  3  at  S.E.  Tennessee  after  4 
years  of  service. 

As  chaplain.  Dr.  Aussner  has 
the  responsibility  of  providing 
moral  and  spiritual  leadership  a- 
long  with  his  regular  duties  in  the 
air  search  and  rescue  missions. 


CAP,  best  known  for  its  role  in 
air  search,  rescue,  and  airlifting 
blood  and  Hfesaving  drugs,  is  a 
volunteer,  non-profit  civilian  aux- 
iliary of  the  U.S.  Air  Force.  Last 
year.  CAP  was  credited  with  sav- 
ing over  53  lives. 

A  CAP  membership  drive  will 
be  held  April  11.  at  7  p.m.,  at  the 
Collegedaie  airport,  said  Dr.  .Aus- 
sner. Membership  in  the  air 
patrol  is  open  to  both  mm  and 
womer.  13  >ears  of  age  or  older

As  a  member  of  CAP.  a  person 
can  receive  a  pilot's  license  and 
training  as  an  air  observer-w»d-a 
ground  crew  attendant. 

Dr.  Aussner  said  that  there  are 
now  six  Adventist  ministers  con- 
nected with  CAP,  one  of  which  is 
his  superior  officer  of  the  Tennes- 
see wing. 

"Meeting  the  needs  of  others  is 
self-fulfilling  because  in  the  pro- 
cess you  find  your  own  needs 
being  met,''  said  Dr.  Aussner.

The  Faculty  Senate  voted 
March  13  in  favor  of  a  proposal  to 
establish  an  academic  grievance 
procedure  for  students. 

Students  can  now  follow  a  legit- 
imate route  of  recourse  if  they 
feel  an  instructor  has  infringed  on 
their  academic  rights  or  has 
treated  them  unjustly. 

Faculty  Senate  student  repre- 
sentative Ray  Hart\vell  believes 
unprecendented  strength  lies  in 
this  amendment  "because  it  en- 
ables a  student  to  appeal  a  grade 
or  certain  teaching  methods  that 
he  feels  are  questionable." 

The  suggested  recourse  route 
outlined  in  the  new  policy  is  as 
follows: 

1.  The  student  presents  his 
case  to  the  teacher  and  then,  if 
necessiiy.  to  the  department  in- 
volved. 

2.  If  the  student  feels  he  has 
not  obtained  justice  at  the  pre- 
vious level,  he  can  submit  the 
matter  to  the  academic  dean  or 
ask  for-a  review  of  the  case  by  the 
Grievance  Committee  (which  will 


and   will    include    three    facultv 
members  and  two  students.) 

3.  The  decision  of  the  commit- 
tee is  then  presented  to  the  per- 
sons involved  in  writing  within 
three  days  of  the  committee. 

4.  The  decision  of  the  commit 
tee  is  binding  and  will  be  imple 
mented  by  the  instructor  or  the 
administration.  In  case  of  further 
disagreement,  the  decision  may 
be  appealed  to  the  College  presi- 
dent. 

The  Senate  also  voted  to  reject 
the  motion  by  the  Student  Affairs 
Committee  that  would  allow 
freshmen  to  bring  cars  to  the 
campus  next  year.  "It  was  killed 
primarily  because  of  the  inade- 
quate number  of  p^fking 
spaces,"  said  Hartwell.  The  oil 
rule  stated  that  second  sew^<:tp^r 
freshmen  with  adequate  (iPA 
could  bring  their  own  cars.  Bui 
already  this  year,  the  parking 
limitations  have  forced  the  ad- 
ministration to  put  the  foot  down 
and  say  no  to  all  freshman  cars. 

These  new  policy  adoptions  are 
scheduled    to    appear    in    the 


Seniors  Raise  Spirit 
With  Plans  For  Picnic

Hefferliii  Takes 
Project  To 

D.C.  Scientists 


The  senior  class,  steered  by 
president  Rick  Stier,  is  mulling 
over  three  possibilities  for  its  '78 
senior  class  gift  to  the  College. 

One  consideration,  said  Stier, 
is  the  purchase  of  more  electric 
typewriters  for  the  library's  base- 
ment. Donating  funds  to  the 
Nicaragua  mission  station  is  ano- 
ther possibility.  A  third  maybe  is 
the  erection  of  a  small  fountain  in 
front  of  Wright  Hall. 

The  class  has  over  $1 ,000  to  put 
into  the  project.  A  senior  meeting 
April  3  at  7:30  in  Herin  Hall  103 
"'ill  decide  the  fmal  gift. 

Then  for  Sunday,  April  16,  a 
class  picnic  is  scheduled  at  Little 
Debbie  Park  near  Harrsion  Bay. 
't  s  the  first  class  outing  in  years, 
said  Stier.  "We  want  to  get  a 
little  spirit  going."  There  will  be 
'=nnis,  swimming,  and  lunch 
catered  by  the  cafe. 

Looking  forward,  the  gradua- 
tion services  and  speakers  are 
planned  as  follows: 

At  the  Friday  evening  conse- 
cration service,  Mrs.  Ralph 
hney  will  speak,  wife  of  the 


pastor  of  Chattanooga's  Firsi 
Century  United  Methodist 
Church. 

Sabbath  School  will  be  titled 
"Our  Tribute"  and  seniors  will, 
with  short  devotionals  and  music, 
honor  God.  rr"rits.  faculty,  and 
fellow  sttidcnls. 

Elder  H  H.  Schmidt,  president 
of  the  Southern  Union,  will  speak 
for  the  Sabbath  baccalaureate. 

Brian  Wilcox,  father  of  student 
Allen  Brian  Wilcox,  Jr.,  and 
president  of  11  corporations  in 
North  Carolina,  will  address  the 
Sunday  morning  commencement. 

Graduation  announcements 
will  arrive  in  the  middle  of  April, 


said  Stier.     Those  who  haven't 
ordered  should  contact  him. 

"1  would  again  like  to  express 
our  appreciation  to  the  faculty  for 
making  the  senior-faculty  ban- 
quet a  memorable  evening,  "  said 
Stier.  450  seniors  and  faculty 
turned  out  last  Sunday  evening  at 
the  f.ife  to  experience  a  (aste  of 
)n(han  cooker)  served  by  host- 
Senior  class  officers  are:  vice-

Professor  Ray  Hefferlin  and 
student  Roy  Campbell  presented 
their  research  project,  the  period- 
ic table  of  the  diatomic  molecules, 
in  Washmgton.  D.C.,  this  week. 

S,00()  scientists  Irom  across  the 
United  Slates  gathered  at  the 
American  Physical  Society  in 
Washington  to  discuss  new  ideas 
and  problems. 

Dr.  Hefferlin's  lO-minute  pre- 
sentation consisted  of  verbal  and 
audiovisual  aids  concerning  the 
periodic  table  of  diatomic  mole- 
cules. Dr.  Hefferlin  also  distrib- 
uted handouts  along  with  his  dis- 
course. 

■M  think  we  have  ^i  re\nlution- 
ary  idea,"  said  Dr.  Hefferlin, 
"aitiiough  people  af.  getting 
closer  and  closer  to  it.  That's  why 
I  feel  a  certain  amount  of  urgency 
in  making  it  known  before  some- 
one else  does." 


The  project  was  begun  in  1972 
by  Dr.  Hefferlin  and  his  associ- 
ates, but  did  not  really  catch  on 
until  June  of  1977.  It  is  finished 
1  certain  state,  but  said  Dr. 


Hefferlin,  "The  goal  we  would 
like  to  reach  could  take  another 
two  years." 

When  asked  lor  a  visual  aid  to 
place  alongside  this  article  for 
clarity.  Dr.  Hefferlin  said.  "Ijust 
finished  making  a  chart.  How- 
ever, it  might  be  a  little  com- 
plicated to  explain  since  it  took

If  you  think  you  have  Iroubles,  pity  the  poor  editor.  If  he

interested.  If  he  writes  an  in-depth  story,  it's  too  long;  if  he 
eonilcnscs  one,  it's  incomplete.  If  he  quotes  you  verbatim  and  you 
decide  that  wasn't  what  you  meant  to  say.  you  call  him  inept  or 
untruthful  or  both.  If  he  asks  for  advice,  he's  incompetent;  if  he 
doesn't  he's  a  know-it-all.  If  he  makes  a  mistake,  he  hears  about  it 
(or  weeks;  if  he  doesn't,  he  never  hears  about  it.  If  he  expresses

Dear  Editor; 

When  in  the  history  of  man  has 
the  policy  of  education  for  the 
wealthy  advanced  the  cause  of  ' 
man  or  God?  Never!  It  has  only 
brewed  strife,  discord,  hatred, 
segregation,  and  bloody  rebel- 
Is  it  progress  when  a  person 
must  barter  his  life  or  soul  to 
another  person  or  principality  to 
advance  and  to  further  his  dream 
of  a  fuller  life?    No,  it  is  regres- 

I  ask  these  questions  in  the 
light  of  the  fact  that  to  attend  this 
college  one  must  be  either 
wealthy  or  must  enter  into  the 
servitude  o?  indebtedness. 

Indebtedness  to  he  federal 
government  tor  a  pei  ijd  of  four  to 
eight  years.  Committed  to  loans 
that  in  some  cases  are  astrono- 
mical to  a  person  just  starting  out 
in  life.  Some  loans  as  high  as  10 
to  15  thousand  dollars  for  four 
years  of  college.  These  types  of 
loans  strap  a  person  into  the 
hands  of  Satan.  Having  to  work 
to  extract  one's  self  out  of  debt, 


rather  than  being  free  to  move  as 
God  wills. 

Is  it  freedom,  when  the  pay 
scale  of  a  college  doesn't  halfway 
cover  the  cost  of  attending  that 
college  and  only  supplies  the  bot- 
tom of  minimal  needs?  Living 
under  the  fist  of  debt  is  not 
Ireeriom. 

Is  it  freedom  when  a  college 
community  offers  a  limited  to  nil 
source  of  employment  for  its  stu- 
dents who  wish  to  cover  the  cost 
of  an  education  God  asks  them  to 
get? 

First  the  dairy  went.  Then  over 
the  years  the  other  of  the  college 
industries  went.  The  Cabinet 
Shop,  the  Laundry,  what  next? 

If  you're  fast  enough,'  you  will 
make  more  money  at  the  broom- 
shop.  Or  the  bakery  if  you  wish  to 
violate  God's  laws  to  make  it  by 
working  half  the  night  and  study- 
ing half  the  day  ... 

When  is  it  freedom,  when  a 
student  loses  health,  mind,  and 
finally  soul?  There  are  those  who

True  Knittel, 
Please 

Dear  Editor: 

I  saw  the  pictures  of  Dr.  Knittel 
in  the  paper  first  thing  yesterday. 
They  were  great.  I  was  looking 
forward  to  an  article  about  him, 
then  when  1  got  to  it  I  was 
disappointed.  The  caricature  was 
clever  but  a  bit  cloying.  The 
pictures  were  more  profound  than 
the  article. 

1  hope  there  will  be  a  follow-up 
article    in    which    the    real    Dr. 
Knittel  will  stand  up. 
Sincerely,

You  are  sitting  in  your  room 
IcontemplatiDg  math.  Suddenly 
I  you  notice  the  fiRures  36-24-36  in 
lone  of  your  equations.  Wow! 
■That  adds  up  to  the  perfect 
lequation  for  "GIRL".  There  it  is 
■Thursday  night,  and  you  haven't 
Igot  a  date  yetl  You  have  to  do 
Something  fast  --  or  the  common 
^denominator  will  be  disaster. 

Finding  a  suitable  girl  for  a 
■date  '-^  extremely  challenging  --  at 
Ijeast  it  should  be  for  the  date- 
Iconscious  individual. 

His  the  stereo-typed,  tradltion- 
I  role  of  the  male  to  extend  the

So  vou  strike  out  to  find  your- 
iclf  a  date. 

First  you  compare  the  odds  of 
i  with  the  politics  of  past 
txpenence.  Then  you  try  to 
bistinguish  yourself  from  a  fool  by 
■earning  from  your  mistakes.  You 
you  want  to  date  because 
Rhere  is  a  special  spot  in  your 
Bieart  and  mind  that  says.  "I  need 
1  special  person;  and  I  need  to 
;  and  be  loved." 

I  Think  of  all  the  girls  you  know, 
ne  reason  or  another, 
them  seem  fit  for  a  suitable 
Jate.     You  start  to  strain  your

ered.  "I  had  to  get  up  to  answer 
the  phone  anyway."  You  ask  her 
if  she  knows  you. 

Does  she  know  you?  Never 
heardofyou;  let  her  get  the  Joker. 
It's  really  not  a  very  good  picture. 
It  sounds  like  she  doesn't  really

that  the  date  is  just  to  get  ac- 
quainted. 


With  a  feeling  of  greatest 
achievement,  you  stumble  off  to 
bed.  to  dream  the  whole  night 
through. 

What  does  a  girl  do  when  she 
finds  her  ideal  guy?  Should  she 
just  wait  by  the  phone  hoping  he 
calls? 

Well  girls,  here's  what  you  do: 
Since  gossip  is  the  Adventist  alco- 
holism   #2    (surpassed    only    by 


sugar).  let  the  word  out  that  you 
like  him.  Drop  it  in  all  the  right 
places.  See  what  group  he  hangs 
out  with.  If  there  arc  any  girls  in 
his  "friends  group",  consider 
making  friends  with  them.  Who 
knows  —  maybe  he  has  the  same 
feelings  toward  you. 

What  can  you  lose?  Nothing, 
because  he's  not  yours  in  the  first 
place.      The    worse    that    could 


,  happen  is  that  he  could  ignor-.  <ili 
outward  signs  and  subtle  hinis 
If  he  is  this  kind  of  person,  you 
might  draw  one  of  three  conclu- 
sions: a)  he's  shy.  b)  he's  stuck- 
up,  or  c)  he's  not  for  you  in  the 
first  place. 

The  same  advice  applies  to  the 
boys  about  the  girls.  Boys  and 
yirls  are  like  buses  anyway.

SDA  Teamsters  Union  ^ 
Lawyer  Presents  Case 


Rudv  Heredia,  Adventist  Tearasters  lawyi 


DVinitaWaymaL. 

Rudy  Heredia.  an  Adventist 
lawyer  and  contractor  for  the 
Teamsters  Union  in  Los  Angeles 
addressed  the  Collegedale  Ad- 
ventist Forum  last  Sabbath  on  the 
issue  of  labor  unions. 

Heredia  said,  "I  am  called  to 
discuss  that  which  is  contrary  to 
our  religion.  But  if  there  is  any 
wrong  in  the  Teamsters  Union,  I 
know  nothing  about  it." 

Heredia  went  to  work  for  the 
union,  he  said,  to  protect  his 
fellow  man  and  make  his  place  of 
work  more  congenial  and  plea- 
sant. "Corporations  are  ruth- 
less," he  said.  "They'll  pick  your 
brains  and  not  pay  you  for  it." 

Before  working  for  the  Team- 
sters, he  worked  nine  years  for  an 
engineer  and  architect  association 
which,  he  said,  did  not  recognize 


a  man's  knowledge  and  contribu- 
tion. Employees  were  not  treated 
fairly." And  so  I  went  in  with  the 
intention  of  raising  the  dignity  of 
the  employee.  I  am  happy  in  the 
work  1  do,  because  I  look  at  the 
problems  of  people  and  can  bring 
them^  back  to  work  with  back 
pay."  The  union  protects  the 
employee  from  being  fired  just 
because  he  is  wearing  a  blue 
shirt,  said  Heredia.  With  the 
Teamsters,  a  company  must  have 
a  just  reason  to  lay  anyone  off. 

The  California  Conference  has 
aked  Heredia  several  times  to 
help  Adventists  in  trouble  with 
Sabbath  work  problems.  Heredia 
has.  he  said,  helped  these  people 
keep  their  job,  but  sometimes 
they  have  had  to  join  a  union. 
Their  Sabbaths  have  never  been 


endangered,  he  added.  Joining  a 
union,  he  said,  does  not  force  you 
to  work  on  Sabbath.  "If  we  had  it 
our  way,  we  would  give  all  em- 
ployees five  days  off." 

"When  1  negotiate  a  contract,  I 
take  my  religion  with  me,"  Here- 
dia said.  "I  use  the  intelligence 
God  has  given  me.  Daily  I  am 
with  vultures  and  greed,  and 
daily  1  have  searched  if  I  am  doing 
wrong." 

"But  when  a  man  is  abused,  1 
can  use  the  clout  of  the  Teamsters 
to  help  him,  A  union  is  a  busi- 
ness; we  are  selling  you  job  pro- 
tection and  integrity." 

"Christians  are  too  narrow- 
minded,"  he  added.  "We  need 
to  go  down  the  path  and  look  on

Woman  Pastor  To 
Dedicate  Missionaries 


DMathew  Staver 

Dr.  Josephine  Benton,  an  or- 
dained woman  elder  and  associ- 
ate pastor  of  the  Sligo  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  church  in  Takoma 
Park,  Md..  will  be  on  campus 
April  19-21. 

Sigma  Theta  Chi  extended  the 
invitation  for  Dr.  Benton  to  come. 
According  to  Amy  Cecil,  STC 
vice-president.  Dr.  Benton  will 
speak  in  the  Thatcher  Hall  chapel 
for  the  7  and  10:10  worships 
Wednesday  and  Thursday  even- 
ing. Her  topic  will  be  the  struggle 
and  hope  of  faith,  drawn  from 
situations  in  her  own  experience. 

The  last  meeting  will  be  8  p.m. 
Friday  in  the  church,  where  she 
will  speak  at  tlje  dedication  of  the 
future  student  missionaries. 

Elder  Benton,  in  her  multi- 
faceted  life,  is  also  the  wife  of 
Elvin  Benton,  an  attorney  of  reli- 
gious liberty  who  presently  serves 
in  the  Columbia  Union  Confer- 
ence. 

Growing  up  in  the  home  of  an 
Adventist  pastor-evangelist  she 
enjoyed  watching  her  father  in  his 
work,  but  with  no  hope  of  ever 
having  the  chance  to  serve  in  the 
same  capacity. 

With  a  doctorate  degree  in 
speech  she  taught  at  several  Ad- 
ventist colleges  preparing  many 
young  men  for  the  ministry.  The 
subject  of  her  joining  the  church 
staff  first  came  up  while  talking  to 
the  senior  youth  pastor  of  Sligo  at 
a  banquet  in  the  spring  of  1971. 

Two  years   later,    after  being 


taken  to  the  conference  commit- 
tee for  the  second  time,  it  was 
approved.  On  May  26.  1973,  she 
was  ordained  as  a  local  elder  of 
the  church  and  then  on  Sept.  I, 
1973  she  became  an  associate 
pastor. 

Although  she  cannot  perform 
baptisms  or  marriages,  her  or- 
dination does  enable  her  to  serve 
in  communion  services  and  to 
participate  in  the  platform  duties. 
Since  being  at  Sligo,  Dr.  Benton 
has  done  a  lot  of  counseling  and 
has  been  assigned  the  pastorship 
ofthe  singles  flock.  She  has  been 
in  charge  of  ingathering  and  sev- 
eral prayer  meetings,  in  addition 
to  several  Sabbath  sermons  and 
producing  special  programs  for 
Christmas  and  Easter. 

When  asked  whether  she 
thought  Sligo  would  ordain  wo- 
men elders  in  the  future  she 
replied,  "Yes,  at  some  time  I 
think  they  will,  but  I  don't  guess 
how  soon.  In  the  future,  I  feel 
that  women  will  be  ordained  as 
ministers,  but  such  changes  will 
take  a  while."  Later  on  she 
added,  "If  it  would  not  hinder  the 
growth  of  the  church  because  of 
the  strong  opposition,  I  would  like 
to  be  ordained." 

The  advantages  of  being  or- 
dained as  a  minister  would  afford 
her  the  opportunity  to  officiate  at 
weddings,  along  with  being  able 


to  baptize  those  whom  she  has 
worked  with.  There  would  also  be 
economic  advantages,  which  she 
said,  "should  be  at  the  bottom  of 
the  list." 

Elder  Benton  feels  that  ordina- 
tion would  have  to  be  a  matter  of 
local  option,  since  there  are  many 
countries  which  are  strongly  op- 
posed to  it.  And  by  not  ordaining 
women,  "we  are  holding  them 
out  of  a  number  of  areas  where 
they  might  serve  the  church  very 
well,"  she  said. 

Elder  Benton  encourages  a  wo- 
man to  go  ahead  and  prepare  as  a 
minister  if  she  is  flexible  and  can 
enjoy  the  functions  and  responsi- 
bilities of  her  job  regardless  of 
her  title.  However,  she  added,  "I 
wouldn't  hold  out  too  much  en- 
couragement for  her,  because  the 
future  is  uncertain." 

Elder  Benton  has  no  ambition 
to  function  much  differently  than 
she  is  now,  such  as  to  become  an 
administrator  in  the  church.  She 
concluded,  "I  like  pastoring,  and 
that's  all  I  hope  to  do."

Celebrating 
Faith 
In  North 
Carolina 

DGIen  Mather 


Five  thousand  delegates  repre- 
senting the  youth  of  the  eastern 
United  States  ate,  prayed, 
studied,  and  witnessed  together 
last  week  as  they  celebrated  the 
Festival  of  Faith  in  Greensboro, 
N.C. 

Youth,  many  sleeping  four  to  a 
room,  rose  early  to  beat  the  line 
to  breakfast  in  the  exhibition  hall 
adjacent  to  the  Greensboro  Colo- 
sseum. After  eating  their  as- 
sembly line  meal,  they  attended 
morning  meetings  which  later 
separated  into  special  seminars  in 
areas  such  as  music  ministry, 
health  ministry,  and  the  art  of 
personal  witnessing. 

Following  another  meal  in  the 
hall  the  youth  had  a  chance  to 
praclice  what  was  preached,  wit- 
ncssi.ig  in  the  Greater  Greens- 
boro area.  By  the  end  of  the  week 
over  70,0(X)  contacts  were  made. 

Among  the  speakers  that 
strengthened  the  youths'  abilifies 
to  witness  were  Ann  Kiemel,  a 
Nazarene  and  author  of  I'm  Oat  to 
Change  My  Worid,  and  H.M.S. 
Richards,  who  reminisced  of  his 
rebellious  childhood  and  subse- 
quent conversion. 

The  Sabbath  morning  servicer 
drew  the  largest  crowd  of  the 
festival.  Over  7,000  people,  many 
non-Adventists,  listened  to  Frank 
Knittel  present  the  lesson  studv.

Road  To  Get

"Barring  long  periods  of  incle- 
ment weather,  paving  on  the 
Collegedale  entrance  road  will 
begin  in  mid  May,"  stated  Lee 
Holland.  Collegedale  city  man- 
ager. "The  county  has  assured 
me  that  they  would  begin  the 
paving  immediately  upon  the 
completion  of  their  current  pro- 
ject on  Standifer  Gap  Road." 

Holland   recently   met   with 


county  engineers  to  discuss  the 
project,  and  was  told  the  work  on 
the  Collegedale  road  would  take 
approximately  three  weeks.  Dur- 
ing this  time  the  entrace  road  may 
remain  open  with  the  utihzatioa 
of  flagmen  and  one-lane  traffic. 

"Erosion  on  the  side  of  the  new 
road  is  being  shored  up  by  the 
Brown  Brothers  Contractors  at  no 
additional  charge  to  the   city." 


LABOR  UNIONS  cent,  from  p.  I 


both  sides." 

After  his  address,  the  floor  was 
opened  to  questions.  Robert 
Merchant,  College  treasurer, 
asked  him  how  one  can  reconcile 
this  with  the  writings  of  Ellen 
White. 

Heredia  answered  that  Mrs. 
White  had  written  her  strong 
statements  against  labor  unions 
in  the  eariy  1900's  when  the 
Industrial  Revolution  was  in  full 
swing  and  there  were  no  laws  to 
control  labor.  Labor  reacted  vio- 
lently to  the  injustices  and  there 
was  revolution  and  violence. 
Mrs.  White's  counsel,  he  said, 
was  to  stay  away  from  this  type  of 
activity,  and  move  away  from  the 
cities. 

In  1902.  he  said,  Mrs.  White 
wrote  against  making  contracts 
with  companies.  But  these  con- 
tracts, he  said,  were  the  yellow 
dog  contracts  that  Kellogg  made 
his  sanitarium  employees  sign, 
which  said  a  worker  promises  not 
to  organize  under  the  threat  of 
discharge. 

Another  member  of  the  audi- 
ence menHoned  that  unions  are 
still  violent  today.  Heredia  an- 
swered that  any  violent  action  is 
illegal.  "You  cannot  throw  away 
the  chicken  because  a  feather  is 
not  pretty.  Did  Moses  have  any 
violent  people  in  his  crowd?" 

Should  an  SDA  belong  to  a 
union?  It  depends  on  the  indi- 
vidual conscience,  answered 
Heredia.  "But  when  you  tell  a 
person  that  union  is  against  his 


religion,  you  are  then  respon- 
sible to  find  that  person  work  and 
to  keep  him  working  under  the 
same  conditions  that  he  could 
have  gotten  with  a  union." 

"If  any  institution  needs  or- 
ganizing, "he  said,  "it  is  the  SDA 
hospitals  and  institutions."  Nur- 
ses and  teachers  are  the  most 
underpaid  in  relation  to  the  cost 
of  their  education,  he  said.  The  _ 
wages  are  lower,  the  benefits 
lower,  and  they're  asked  to  work 
harder.  "Before  we  can  say  that 
unions  are  no  good,  we  must 
clean  our  backyard  so  we  can  see 
them  walking  through." 

Pastor  R.M.  Ruf  stated  that 
Adventist  workers  are  working  for 
a  lower  wage  in  the  spirit  of 
missionary  work.  Heredia  replied 
that  we  are  closing  our  eyes  to 
what  is  happening.  Until  we  can 
improve  our  own  conditions,  he 
said,  we  have  no  right  to  ban 
unions.  He  also  stated  that  the 
Adventist  institutional  worker  is 
asked  to  work  too  hard  for  his 
wage. 

"The  cookie  company  here  in 
Collegedale,  however,  will  never 
need  a  union,"  Heredia  com- 
mented. "From  what  1  know, 
they  have  excellent  benefits  and 
working  conditions." 

The  Adventist  Forum,  noted 
Dr.  Lawrence  Hanson,  is  to  ex- 
pose people  to  different  points  of 
view  and  to  answer  questions  in 
one's  own  mind.  The  Forum  is 
not  designed  to  stir  up  confl-o- 
versy  or  heated  debate.

Jesus  Inherits  $44,000 
From  British  Teacher 


Thursday,  April  6,  1978  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  -  3 


LONDON  — Should  Jesus 
Christ  return  to  Earth  within  the 
next  80  years  he  could  find  an 
investment  income  from  more 
than  J44,000  waiting  for  him. 

Retired  schoolmaster  Ernest 
Digweed.who  died  last  Septem- 
ber at  Portsmouth  in  southern 
England,  left  this  sum  for  Jesus 
in  his  recently  published  will. 

It  names  the  Public  Trustee  as 
his  executor  and  instructs  that  he 
should  invest  the  money  for  Jesus 
over  the  next  80  years,  but  adds 


that  he   should   get   proof  of 

Jesus  s.dentitybefore  paying  out 
the  accumulated  money 

■ 'If  during  those  80  years  the 
Lord  Jesus  Christ  shall  come  to 
reign  on  earth,  then  the  Public 

k"'.'".",?""  "Staining  proof 
which  shall  satisfy  him  of  His 
Identity  shall  pay  to  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  all  the  property 
which  he  holds  on  His  behalf,"  he 
wrote. 

If  after  80  years  there  is  still  no 
sign  of  Jesus,  Digweed  said  the 
money  should  go  to  the  Crown.

FESTIVAI,  OF  FAITH  cont.  from  p.  2 


on  the  importance  of  youth  pos- 
sessing "a  faith  to  celebrate." 

Also  on  Sabbath,  the  entire 
King  James  Bible  was  hand-writ- 
ten, compiled,  and  bound,  each 
delegate  copying  a  chapter.  It's 
the  first  time  the  Bible  has  been 
hand-written  in  one  day.  The 
Greensboro  news  media  were 
present  to  report  on  the  feat. 

The  King's  Heralds,  the  Heri- 
tage Singers,  and  the  New  Eng- 
land Youth  Ensemble  were  just  a 
few  of  the  over  30  groups  and 
individuals  that  presented  sacred 
music  at  the  event.    Singers  and 


instrumentalists  combined  Sab- 
bath for  a  stirring  rendition  of 
Handel's  Hallelujah  Chorus. 

Sabbath  evening  the  delegates 
were  introduced  to  the  seven  e- 
vangelistic  teams  that  are  to  fol- 
low up  the  contacts  made  by  the 
young  people. 

Although  most  delegates  a- 
greed  that  the  Congress  was  a 
success,  the  real  test  will  come 
when  the  delegates  return  to  their 
sponsoring  churches  to  bring 
back  and  practice  what  they  have 
learned  in  those  days  spent  at 
Greensboro.

Editorial 


The  study  of  foreign  languages  is  blatanUy  neglected  in  Amenca. 
as  well  as  at  SMC.  Our  small  modem  languages  department  is  not 
too  popular.  The  German  section  has  only  three  students  enrolled  in 
Elementary  German.  Ifs  the  same  way  in  Intermediate  French.  And 
Spanish  classes  are  full  of  Utin  Americans  who  already  have  a 
masterv  of  the  language.  . 

Americans  consider  themselves  pretty  self-sufficient.  But  in  1V41 
our  sufficiency  started  to  crumble.  The  Japs  blasted  us  right  out  of 
the  water  and  we  realized  that  international  relations  were  important. 

Then  in  1957  the  Russians  put  a  satellite  into  orbit  before  us  ■-  the 
Sputnik.  To  the  astonishment  of  many  Americans,  it  was  discovered 
that  the  American  scientists  had  had  the  complete  Sputnik  plans  for 
two  years  prior  to  launching  -■  written  in  Russian. 

Worse  than  that,  the  mistranslation  of  just  one  word  caused  the 
death  of  hundreds  of  thousands  of  people  at  the  end  of  World  War  II. 
The  U.S.  offered  Japan  the  opportunity  to  surrender  and  the 
Janpanese  reply  contained  a  word  which  meant  "withholding 
comment  pending  decision."  The  Allies  translated  the  word  to  mean 
"ignore"  and  believed  that  their  ultimatum  had  been  flatly  rejected. 
President  Truman  ordered  the  use  of  the  atomic  bombs. 

We  really  can't  afford  such  breakdowns  of  communication.  A 
humorous  incident,  one  that  President  Carter  still  shudders  about, 
though,  is  when  his  Polish  interpreter  told  the  Polish  people  that 
Carter  had  an  erotic  desire  for  their  country. 

With  increasing  travel  and  technology,  and  increasing  interna- 
tional trade,  it  is  almost  a  must  to  be  bilingual.  7/8  of  the  world's 
population  does  not  speak  English.  We  cannot  display  an  arrogance 
of  power  and  expect  the  world  to  learn  English. 

And  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  every  civilized  country  in  the 
world  offers  a  longer  sequence  of  language  study  than  is  available  in 
the  U.S.  The  Russians  and  Germans  study  eight  to  ten  years  of 
language  before  college  and  then  four  to  six  years  in  college.  But 
when  American  students  travel  anywhere,  they  are  almost  absolutely 
helpless. 

There  are  lots  of  jobs  waiting  for  people  who  can  speak  two 
languages.  There  are  now  more  than  5,000  multi-national  corpora- 
tions in  the  U,S.  And  there  are  90.000  jobs  available  in  the 
government  which  require  a  foreign  language. 

SMC  students  should  get  with  the  program  and  not  neglect  this 
vital  field.

ces.  There  is  a  conscientiousness 
that  will  carry  everything  to  ex- 


Sunday,  and  would  like  to  com- 
ment on  a  genUeman's  protest 
against  our  social.  While  not 
agreeing  with  his  view,  1  do  re- 
spect the  right  he  had  to  express 
his  opinion. 

My  curiosity  sparked,  1  went  to 
the  Spirit  of  Prophecy  that  very 
night  to  see  what  Ellen  White  had 
to  say.  1  found  nothing  about 
Easter  in  particular,  but  warnings 
that  holiday  festivities  can  be 
carried  to  excess,  and  much  harm 
may  result.  However,  the  holi- 
days should  not  be  passed  by 
unnoticed,  says  Mrs.  White,  and 
activities  to  make  the  day  enjoy- 
able are  acceptable. 

The  principle  here  is  modera- 
tion: and  I  don't  believe  the  Lord 
condemns  the  wholesome  recrea- 
tion and  good  Christian  fellow- 
ship that  we  all  enjoyed  at  the 
"hunt." 

A  little  more  researching  led 
me  to  some  men  in  the  early 
Adventist  movement  who  con- 
demned some  of  the  church  mem- 
bers for  having  pictures,  saying 
that  they  violated  the  second  com- 
mandment. This  is  what  Mrs. 
White  said; 

"These  one-idea  men  can  see 
nothing  except  to  press  the  one 


harm.  The  church  needs  to  be 
purified  from  all  such  influ- 
ences."—2SM  319.

Blood   Flows  Over 
Canadian's    Reception 


Home  Wreckers:    Stifle  Yourselves! 


Dear  Editor: 

Please  stop  destroying  my 
home.  As  I  look  around  me  I  am 
distressed  to  see  what  is  happen- 
ing to  my  home  of  the  last  3  1/2 
years.  Maybe  it's  not  true  of  you, 
but  this  has  been  true  for  me.   I 


have  grown  attached  to  these 
familiar  surroundings  and  I  can 
relate  to  the  dorm  and  the  campus 
as  home. 

This  letter  is  meant  for  those  of 
you  who  are  unthinking  and  in- 


Dear  Editor: 

I  have  restrained  my  pen  upon 
all  the  college  issues,  from  stat- 
ues to  communism.  But  alas  I  can 
no  longer  hold  back  the  ink  that  is 
flowing  about  as  fast  as  the  blood 
is  flowing  in  my  veins. 

Last  Thursday  night  I  was  one 
of  the  30-40  people  who  had  the 
once-in-a-lifetime  pleasure  of 
hearing  the  Kingsway  College 
Chorale.  They  were  very  polished 
and  very  superior  to  anything  that 
I  have  heard  in  years.  But  what  a 
shame  that  they  had  to  be  humili- 
ated by  having  an  audience  that 
barely  out-nu.nibcrcd  thc:ii.^elves. 

It  does  a  lot  for  our  public  rela- 
dons.  Not  even  the  band  mem- 
bers could  find  time  to  come  out, 
(You  do  remember  playing  for 
their  banquet  and  receiving  that 
warm  welcome  don't  you).  And 
our  own  deans  wouldn't  give  wor- 
ship credit  for  it.     They  simply 


considerate.  This  is  for  those  of 
you  who  must  be  treated  as  child- 
ren because  you  behave  that  way. 
I've  seen  the  fruits  of  your 
handiwork.  There  is  an  artificial 
plant  next  to  the  cafeteria  ban-      told  one  girl  that  "We  have  our      alright  in  a  couple  of  hours.  I  just 


talked  to  thought  that  the  chorale 
would  be  performing  over  the 
weekenH  and  they  hadn't  really 
payed  attention  to  the  few  hand- 
bills thai  were  placed  out  to  an- 
nounce their  arrival.  I  myself 
didn't  realize  that  until  I  was 
asked  by  a  faculty  member  that 
afternoon  if  I  was  going. 

At  the  least  an  announcemeL. 
could  have  been  made  in  chapel. 
At  the  most  the  paper  and  SA 
could  have  taken  more  initiative 
in  letting  the  student  body  know 
what  was  coming  off. 

All  in  all  when  the  narrator  got 
up  and  said,  "We  would  like  to 
thank  you  all  for  your  southern 
hospitality,"  I  felt  like  pulling  the 
carpet  up  and  sliding  under, 
hoping  never  again  to  be  seen. 

I'll   take   a    sedative   and  be

Solving  Problems  ^ 

On  A  Problem  Phone 


The  biggest  trouble  is  the  dts- 
cumbobutated,  uncoordinated, 
mongolated,  unorganized  and  un- 
cooperative telephones  we  have 
here  in  Collegedale. 

I'ni  not  one  to  complain,  but 
the  same  thing  happens.  Fridays 
as  well,  week  after  week. 

What  am  1  gonna  do?  Me  and 
my  Mary  Lou's  been  a  fussin'  and 
a  fightin*,  and  all  I  want  to  do  is 
just  get  through  long  enough  to 
ask  her  out  to  Arnold's. 

But  every  time  I  pick  up  the 
phone,  I  get  that  same  cHck-click- 


click  sound. 

I  leave  the  phone  off  the  hook  to 
wait  for  a  dial  tone,  and  go  about 
my  business.  Five  minutes  later  I 
hear  the  tone,  drop  everything, 
and  make  a  mad  dive  across  the 
bed  on  my  stomach  for  the  phone. 
Too  late!  It's  already  beeping  the 
busy  signal. 

Disgusted,  1  slam  the  phone 
back  on  the  hook,  mumble  a  few 
vegetarian  swear  words,  and 
break  out  in  hives  of  sweat. 

After  a  few  seconds  I  regain  my 


composure  and  realize  I  need  to 
take  the  phone  back  off  the  hook, 
or  I'll  never  get  a  turn.  And  so  I 
do  and  I  wait. 

When  I  finally  get  a  line,  and 
dial  her  number,  I'm  greeted  with 
another  busy  signal. 

I'll  fix  them,  1  tell  myself  as  I 
punch  the  closet  door.  1  hang  up 
the  phone,  pick  it  un  again  and 
wait  for  another  turn. 

When  I  finally  gel  a  line,  I  call 
Thatcher  Hall  desk  aii'.i  ask  them 
to  call  UD  to  Mary  Lmus  room  on 
the  squawk  box  and  tell  her  to  get 


off  the  line. 

I  start  the  mad  maze  again  and 
get  through  to  my  Mary  Lou. 
Come  to  find  out  she  wasn't  angry 
at  me  at  all.  She  had  let  bygones 
be  bygones.  Thanks  to  the  phone 
system,  1  liked  to  never  found 
outl  (By  the  way,  we  never  did 
make  it  to  Arnold's.  By  the  time  I 
finally  got  through,  it  was  getting 
quite  near  curfew.) 

I've  got  a  strange  feeling  that 
when  the  Collegedale  phone  com* 
pany  reads  this,  they  will  want  to 
cut  off  my  phone,  but  fact  is  fact. 


Thtr  Collegeaa'.c  phones  are  dis- 
combobulaieti. 

If  you  want  your  own  private 
line,  try  taking  two  empty  cans, 
punching  a  hole  in  the  bottoms, 
put  a  string  in  the  hole  and  tie  a 
knot.  Then  run  the  string  in  as 
straight  a  line  as  possible  to 
her/his  room  and  up  through  the 
heater/airconditioner  unit.  Then 
when  you  want  your  Mary  Lou, 
just  holler.

.  THE  SOUTHERN  ACCENT  TlmrMUy,  April  6,  1978 


Getting  To  The 
Bottom  Of  It  AII-- 
Collegedale  Spelunking 

DJerT>'  Dick  Lien 


Darkness,  dampness  and  lime- 
stone walls.  Suddenly,  a  flash- 
light beam  cuts  through  the  eb- 
ony atmosphere  followed  by  an- 
other narrow  shaft  of  light.  Two 
muddy  and  bedraggled  fonns  ap- 
pear crawling  along  a  narrow 
corridor  on  hands  and  knees. 

"Well,  they  were  right.  You 
can  go  on  forever  here  and  not  get 
to  the  end  of  this  cave.   Ouch!" 

"What  happened?" 

"I  just  stepped  on  my  hand." 

"How  could  you  manage  to  do 
that?" 

"Retrogressive  evolution,  I 
guess." 

"Oh." 

"Something  just   occurred   to 

"Whafs  that?" 
"No  one  can  say  that  the  Ac- 
cent doesn't  do  in-depth  re- 
porting. 

This  is  a  sample  of  the  witty 
repartee  and  dazzling  dedication 
of  editor  and  reporter  as  they 
delve  into  an  assignment  for  The 
Soothem  Accent.  They  were  ex- 
ploring caves  in  Collegedale- 
sniffed  at  by  professional  cavers 
as  "mere  mud  hoIes""because 
(as  with  the  Mountain),  they  are 
there. 

Actually,  there  are  several 
caves  in  the  Collegedale  area,  and 
the  above-mentioned  editor  and 
reporter  were  hardly  the  first 
people  to  scramble  around  in 
their  dark  tunnels. 

Cave  exploring  goes  back  well 
beyond  half  a  century  in  College- 
dale.  During  the  1920's  and  30's. 
nothing  seemed  to  be  quite  so 
much  fun  as  disappearing  into  a 
limestone  hole  and  emerging 
sometime  later,  caked  with  mud, 
soaked  with  water,  or  just  lightly 
coated  with  dust  depending  on 
the  explorer's  enthusiasm  for  his 
hobby. 

One  student's  fervor  nearly 
cost  him  his  life.  During  the  early 
years  of  the  school,  a  group  of 
scholars  discovered  a  large  cave 
near  the  side  of  the  road  on 
College  View  Drive  housing  a 
large  subterranean  lake.  D.E. 
Pound,  the  self-styled  Magellan 
of  the  expedition,  decided  that  a 
boat  was  needed  to  explore  the 
watery  wonderiand.  So  the  stu 
dents,  on  his  suggestion,  con 
structed  a  small  boat  and  conduc 
ted  various  underground  excur 

Pound  also  desired  to  know  thr 
exact  size  of  the  lake.  A  rope  over 
300  feet  long  was  borrowed  fron 
the  hayloft  of  the  college  barn 
which  he  tied  around  his  wasti 
and  struck  out  for  the  other  side. 


He  ran  out  of  rope  and  got  en- 
tangled. It  was  some  time  before 
he  could  disentangle  himself. 
Thoroughly  exhausted,  he  man- 
aged to  reach  the  surface  of  the 
water  and  heard  the  voices  of  his 
friends  bewailing  his  fate  and 
wondering  what  they  would  tell 
the  dean  when  they  returned  to 
the  school.  The  tired  and  wet 
Pound  reached  them  by  following 
their  voices  through  the  dark. 

At  the  present  time.  Pound's 
cave  is  located  at  the  bottom  of  a 
sink  hole.  Pound  and  his  friends, 
in  order  to  make  access  to  it 
easier,  dynamited  the  entrance. 
But  this  action  had  quite  the 
opposite  effect  of  that  intended. 
Later,  a  cow  managed  to  fall  into 
the  cave,  adding  its  body  to  the 
already  rather  cluttered  decor. 
Now  the  opening  to  the  cave  is 
barely  big  enough  for  a  person  to 
squeeze  through,  and  it  is  only 
the  most  dedicated  spelunker  who 
makes  it  inside. 

Perhaps  the  best  known  cave  is 
on  campus,  located  in  the  Student 
Park.  While  not  containing  as 
spectacular  a  waterway  as  the  one 
said  to  be  in  the  Collegeview 
Drive  cave,  it  does  have  its  own 
body  of  water  near  the  back.  At 
onetime,  Thad  Bugbe,  a  student, 
commercially  raised  mushrooms 
in  the  cave's  first  room.  It  was 
much  larger  then,  its  size  being 
diminished  over  the  years  by 
blasting  for  limestone.  There  was 
also  at  one  time  connection  with 
the  cave  now  on  Read's  property 
by  a  tunnel. 

During  the  1930's  the  college 
took  students  through  the  park 


cave  as  a  part  of  the  social  activi- 
ties program.  However,  when 
this  was  found  to  be  an  ideal  try- 
sting  place,  and  after  an  explo- 
sion killed  several  workers  in  the 
limestone  quarry,  the  cave  was 
sealed  up  with  cement  blocks  and 
a  wooden  door. 

In  recent  years,  the  cement  and 
wood  were  replaced  by  a  sheet 
metal  barrier  upon  discovery  that 
the  former  impediments  were 
constantly  being  torn  down  so 
that  the  cave  could  be  used  for 
local  drug  dealing. 

The  Student  Park  cave  has  also 
recently  served  as  a  storagehouse 
by  the  college  kitchen,  pungent 
crates  of  long-sprouted  potatoes 
bearing  mute  testimony  to  this 
venture.  Also  of  interest  to  the 
casual  explorer  are  the  examples 
of  graffiti  to  be  seen  on  the  walls. 
While  not  dating  back  as  far  a  the 
Lascaux  cave  murals,  there  are  a 
few  notations  from  the  '20's  and 
'30's.  Along  with  the  usual, 
"John  loves  Mary,"  "Mary  de- 
tests John,"  "Yay,  Seniors. 
1945,"  is  one  giving  phone  num- 
ber and  details  for  Bible  studeis. 

Another  series  of  caves  is  lo- 
cated in  the  woods  a  few  feet  from 
the  broom  factory.  Although 
much  smaller  than  the  others,  at 
least  one  of  these  caverns  does 
contatin  a  separate  series  of  tun- 
nels and  a  small  stream. 

If  one  is  nostalgic  for  the  good 
old  days  of  caving,  with  emphasis 
on  old.  Dripping  Springs,  a  few 
feet    behind    Ooltewah    High 


Mark  Fessler  and  Brace  Rogers  squeeze  through  a  passageway. 


School,  is  perhaps  the  best  cave 
of  the  lot.  Like  the  Cave  Dweller 
who  returned  from  a  long  day's 
hunt  not  knowing  just  what  may 
have  moved  into  his  cave  during 
his  absense,  so  the  explorer  of 
Dripping  Springs  never  knows  for 
certain  just  what  to  expect  around 
the  next  bend  of  the  tunnel;  there 
are  several  long  shafts  leading  o^ 
in  various  directions. 


Though  most  really  avid  spe-      all.

o 


An  Anglican 
Tells  SDA's 

DGary  Williams 

The  Shaking  of  AdveDtism  by 

Geoffrey  Paxton  is  causing  a  stir 
in  both  Adventist  and 
non-Adventist  circles  and  the 
Christian  community  is  taking 
another  look  at  Adventism's  view 
on  righteousness  by  faith  (for 
example:  Eternity  had  an 
editorial  on  it  in  its  February 
issue). 

Keep  in  mind  that  Paxton  is  an 
Anglican  clergyman  and  not  an 
Adventist.  This  is  not  meant  to 
cast  any  bad  reflections  on  him, 
because  he  writes  that  this  book 
"seeks  to  'get  inside  the  skin'  of 
the  Adventist  and  look  at  his 
movement  from  that  vantage 
point." 

There  are  two  questions  that 
must  be  asked.  Is  his  historical 


"Both  sides  are  using 
Ellen  White,  which 
gives  her  a  wax 
nose." 


analysis  of  Adventism  accurate? 
Is  his  premise  of  our  "conviction" 
true  that  we  are  the  only  true  heir 
of  the  Reformers?  Un  these  two 
points  hang  the  view  of  the  book 
either  as  a  genuine  evaluation 
(which  I  believe)  or  a  fictitious 
debacle  of  scholarship. 

Paxton  does  not  leave  you 
hanging  in  doubt  about  his  views 
on  the  matter  of  righteousness  by 
faith.  For  him  it  is  clear: 
righteousness  by  faith  means 
justification  by  faith  alone  as 
opposed  to  the  historical 
Adventist  position  that  it  is  both 
justification  and  sa notification. 

Examining  our  movement  from 
this  viewpoint,  he  has  extensive 
footnotes  and  documentation  for 
everything  that  he  states,  yet  at 
the  same  time  he  does  not 
condemn  us.  He  allows  our  own 
words  to  be  the  evidence,  and  the 
reader  is  free  to  make  his  own 
verdict.  This  may  be  the  most 
frightening  aspect  of  all  because 
we  are  laid  bare  with  both  the 
good  and  bad  points  of  our 
history. 

He  traces  the  emphasis  on 
sanctification  and  perfectionism 
down  through  our  history. 
Adventist  theology  from  1844  to 
1950  is  said  to  be  "confused" 
pver  the  relationship  of 
justification  and  sanctification 
which  has  resulted  in  the 
exaltation  of  the  latter  and  the 
subordination  of  the  former.  This 
has  colored  the  movement  with 
Romanism  and  not  Protestantism. 

1950  to  the  present  is  viewed  as 
one  "in  which  the  contrast 
oetween  the  theology  of  the 
reformers  and  of  the  Roman 
Catholic  Council  of  Trent  is  shown 
Soever  before  in  the 
"movement's  history."  According 
'0  the  book,  the  1950's  was  the 


decade  of  the  return  to  the 
catholic  element  of  1888.  The 
1960's  saw  the  soteriological 
(theology  of  Christ-centered 
salvation)  advancement,  and  the 
1970's  is  called  the  time  of 
"polarization  and  crisis  brought 
by  a  breakthrough  into 
Reformation  theology  (Ford, 
Heppenstall,  LaRondelle,  and 
Brimsmead)  on  the  one  hand  and 
by  a  return  to  pre-1950 
Adventism  (Douglass,  Wood,  the 
I  Review,  and  the  church 
leadership)  on  the  other,  and  this 
is  the  period  of  crisis--a  crisis 
which  concerns  the  nature  of  true 
Adventism." 

He  asks  the  pertinent  question: 
"But  who  is  going  to  listen  to  a 
community  about  the  gospel  if 
that  community  itself  cannot 
agree  on  what  the  gospel  is? ' ' 

Viewing  the  church  leadership 
he  has  this  to  say:  "Unqualified 
admission  that  mistakes  have 
been  made  are  rare  in 
Adventism, ' '  and  he  further 
declares,  "How  can  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  Church 
call  the  evangelical  Protestant 
churches  to  repentance  when  she 
gives  little  evidence-particularly 
among  her  Ieadership--of 
knowing  what  real  repentance 
actually  is?" 

Paxton  sees  both  sides  using 
Ellen  White  in  this  controversy 
which  gives  her  the  nature  of  a

Definition 
In  Question 

DDr.  Floyd  Greenleaf 


Through  the  years  Seventh-day 
Aventists  have  become 
accustomed  to  criticism,  but 
seldom  have  they  read  a  book 
with  the  general  tone  which 
Geoffrey  J.  Paxton  maintains  in 
his  The  Shaking  of  Adventism. 

This  is  not  a  book  for 


''No  one  can  disagree 
that  traditions  could 
stifle  the  search  for 
truth." 


''Admission  that 
mistalces  have  been 
made  is  rare  in 
Adventism." 


"wax  nose,"  and  to  continue  to 
use  her  in  this  way,  he  maintains, 
will  finally  reduce  her  down  to 
w:here  she  has  no  authority  at  all. 

Is  Paxton  right  or  wrong? 
Right  or  wrong,  he  has  a  book 
that  needs  our  attention.  We 
cannot  brush  it  off,  we  cannot 
ignore  it  and  hope  that  it  will  go 
away. 

History  has  proved  that  a 
divided  organization  will 
eventually  suffer  major 
separation  and  fragmentation. 
Has  ITie  Shaking  of  Adventl§in 
been  written  as  a  preface  for  our 
death  or  as  the  beginning  of  our 
rebirth  from  Laodicean 
self-righteousness  by  accepting 
the  garments  of  Christ's 
righteousness? 


theologians  only;  he  treats  a 
significant  doctrine  at  the 
layman's  level.  Most  anyone  ca 
read  the  book  without  becoming 
confused. 

Paxton's  interest  in  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  Church 
stems  from  its  claim  to  be  the  true 
heir  and  promoter  of  the 
traditions  of  the  Protestant 
Reformation.  In  order  to  test  this 
he  compares  Adventist  teachings 
on  justification  by  faith  with  those 
of  the  reformers.  Reargues 
/  finally  that  Adventists  do  not 
rightly  represent  the  Reformation 
on  this  score,  concluding  that  the 
current  Adventist  doctrine, 
broadly  construed  to  include 
sanctificafion  and  perfectionism, 
is  closer  to  the  Roman  Catholic 
position  enunciated  at  the  Council 
of  Trent  than  to  the  Reformation. 
What  this  does  to  Adventist 
claims  is  not  hard  to  imagine. 

One  difficulty  with  the  book  is 
that  the  author  bases  his 
contentions  on  a  judgmental 
premise  rather  than  a  factual  one. 
Disagreement  with  this  first 
judgment  opens  the  way  for 
doubts,  dispite  a  careful  analysis. 


Paxton  leaves  the  impression  that 
justification  by  faith  is  the  valid 
test  to  show  that  Adventists  are  or 
are  not  the  heirs  of  the 
Reformation.  He  produces  a 
number  of  statements 
demonsfrating  that  Adventists 
believe  they  are  such  heirs  and 
that  justification  by  faith  is 
central  to  their  message. 
But  was  this  the  central 
question  of  the  Reformation? 
Paxton  decides  that  it  was 
because  the  reformers  were 
unanimous  about  it.  This  is- 
where  judgmental  questions 
arise.  Is  unanimity  the  same  as 
cenfrality?  Was  the  Reformation 
conducted  to  settle  this  questi 
or  were  there  other  important 


important  than  others.  To  my  way 
of  thinking,  one  of  the  primary 
causes  was  the  theologians' 
desire  to  return  to  the  original 
sources  of  belief  in  order  to  test 
the  teachings  of  the  church  at  that 
time.  Soteriology  helped  to 
trigger  the  movement,  but  it  was 
not  the  only  cause. 

It  seems  reasonable  that  no 
specific  doctrine  is  the  test  of  the 
Reformation  heritage.  Of  more 
fundamental  significance  is  the 
reformers'  interest  in  removing 
crustaceous  traditions  from  the 
Word  of  God  in  order  to 
understand  what  the  original 
meaning  was. 

In  spite  of  these  complaints, 
there  is  much  to  be  learned  from 
Paxton's  book.  His  criticisms, 
while  pointed  and  frank,  are  not 
unkind.  No  one  would  disagree 
that  any  church  is  susceptible  to 
developing  its  own  traditions 
which  could  stifle  the  search  for 
truth  which  the  formers  so 
ardently  championed.  That 
someone  honesdy  sees  this 


by  Geoffrey  J.  Paxton 


happening  to  the  Adventist 
Church  should  produce 
soul-searching  rather  than 
resentment  and  defensiveness. 

Another  point  well  taken  is 
Paxton's  warning  about  a  "truth 
syndrome.  No  Adventist  can 
deny  that  a  set  of  unique 
rhetorical  expressions  describe 
his  religious  experience,  all  of 
which  may  be  comprehended  in 
the  single  phrase,  "rejoicing  in 
the  truth".  This  is  a  blessed 
experience,  but  a  people  may 
bbcome  reckless  with  it  and 
produce  negative  results. 
Adventists  should  be  more  aware 
of  this  than  anvone,  because 
inowhere  has  there  appeared  mon 
penetrating  criticism  of  the  Jews, 
"God's  chosen  people",  than  in 
Ellen  White's  Desire  of  Ages. 

Paxton  sounds  other 
precautionary  notes  —  lack  of   ■ 
consistency  among  Adventist 
theologians,  failure  to  follow 
Ellen  White's  support  of  the 
•  doctrine  of  justification  by  faith, 
inferences  of  ulterior  motives  in 
the  Heppenstal-  Brimsmead 
confrontation,  and  misuse  of 
Ellen  White's  writings,  etc. 

Whatever  our  reaction  to  all  of 
this  may  be.  we  would  do  well  to 
remember  that  Paxton  does  not 

mischievious  troublemaker.  Not 
once  does  he  attack  Adventists' 
belief  in  Ellen  White's 
inspiration.  He  does  not  kick 
Adventists  around  as 
seif-deceived  people.  Thenatu 
of  Paxton's  inquiry,  the  role  he 
assigns  to  Adventist  theology, 
and  his  conclusions  only 
emphasize  that  he  regards 
Advenfists  as  a  significant 
Christian  body  possessing 
respectability . 


"He  does  not  Icick 
Adventists  around  as 
a  self-deceived 
people." 


I  personally  found  the  book 
absorbing  and  informative.  My 
basic  quarrel  is  that  Paxton  does 
not  recognize  that  the  Adventist 
claim  to  perpetuate  the 
Reformation  means  that  the 
Reformation  is  a  broad  continuun 
of  search  for  original  biblical  fruth 
rather  than  the  preservation  of  a 
single  doctrine.  This  does  not 
mean  that  his  analysis  of 
Adventist  literature  is  faulty  or 
that  he  has  nothing  to  say.  His 
final  quotation  from  Ellen  White 
is  a  ringing  call  to  make  the  Bibk 
the  final  test  of  all  creed.  Better 
advice  than  that  is  hard  to  come 
by.  It  should  even  be  the  test  of 
the  Reformation. 


Geoffrey  Paxton,  author  of 
Shaking  of  Adventism,  will 
address  the  Adventist  Forum 
at  3:30  Sabbath  afternoon  in 
the  academy  auditorium.

Spring  Olympics —A 
Time  To  Test  Talent 


DSteve  Thompson 

Spring,  the  season  to  get  it  on 
is  here.  Just  last  spring  7'2" 
Kareem  Jabbar  took  in  a  batting 
practice  with  the  Los  Angeles 
Dodgers.  Dr.  J.  decided  to  take 
in  the  tennis  courts.  And  so  the 
superstars  from  the  Men's  Club 
fit  right  into  this  spring  hall  of 
fame  by  presenting  the  yeariy 
spring  Olympics  this  weekend. 

It  will  be  a  dazzling  display  of 
spring  with  the  touch  of  spice  in 
adding  some  goofy  events.  For 
instance,  a  Jacob's  ladder  dash 
and  a  piggy-back  war.  that  will  be 
as  funny  as  seeing  Roger  Stau- 
bauh  firing  a  pass  to  Gomer  Pyle. 

CABL  has  added  an  event  for 
those   girls  who   dig    on    Phillys 


George  and  the  CBS  production  of 
the  Battle  of  the  Sexes,  it's  going 
to  be  a  coed  race  from  dorm  to 
dorm,  in  which  guys  and  girls  will 
be  partners. 

But  the  main  competition  will 
be  coming  from  the  different 
wings  of  Talge  Hall  and  one  wing 
from  Jones.  These  jocks  will  be 
trying  to  support  their  wing  and 
also  impress  the  ladies.  (What's 
a  jock  without  ladies?)  The  lead- 
ers of  the  fearless  jocks  will  be 
their  RA's,  who  will  take  part  in 
leg  and  arm  wrestling. 


some  giris  say  it  should  be  bot- 
tomless), a  wheelbarrow  race, 
and  a  relay  race  which  will  involve 
15  men.  Two  will  be  tied  together 
and  they  will  have  to  run  in 
unison  without  breaking  apart. 
That  should  be  easy  if  you  are 
kind  of  clumsy. 

There  will  be  a  grand  prize 
awarded  to  the  top  wing.  Free 
donuts  and  punch  will  be  served. 
Action  starts  Sunday.  April  9, 
from  1:30  to  3:30  p.m..  in  from  of 
Talge  Hall  and  at  the  soccer  field. 


Other  events  will  be  a 
pickup,   egg  toss,    tug-a-war. 
which  will  have  a  wet  pit.  (I  heard 


So  guys,  girls,  and  RAs.  get 

things  together.  It's  time  to  shoot

The  Big  Four'  Keep 
Soccer  Ball  Rolling 


DSteve  Thompson 

Withstanding  the  heat  of  the 
sun  and  the  lack  of  waterboys 
with  thirst- quenching  Gatorade. 
the  four  soccer  teams  continue  to 
graze  in  the  grass. 

Jimmy  Lynn's  team  is  out  to 
grab  the  title,  but  going  against 
some  tough  competition.  And  the 
schedule  seems  to  be  slapping  the 
entire  league  in  the  face  with 
cancellation  of  games  because  of 
the  natural  elements.  He  has  a 
big  three  in  G.  Cooper.  B. 
Burnsed.  and  C.  Haylock.  But 
the  entire  team  is  needed  in 
gaining  the  number  1  spot. 

Gustavsson's  team  is  a  well- 
balanced  all-around  team.  The 
team  has  a  stone  wall  defense, 
with  "strong-attack"  scoring 
coming  in  W.  Halverson.  With 
the  swiftness  of  R.  Cooper. 
Gustavsson's  club  will  be  going 

Zollinger's  team  is  using  an 
all-out  attacking  style,   with   his 


football-like  squad.  His  team  is 
putting  together  the  works  that 
could  take  the  title  this  spring. 
There  are  some  great  players  in 
Welch  and  Baum.  This  big  team 
is  heavy  on  the  scales,  but  also 
heavy  on  the  wins. 

Last  of  the  big  four  is  the 
Vargas  team.  They  are  not  play- 
ing around  but  are  taking  things 
straight  to  the  goalie  where  it 
counts  the  most.  The  team  has  a 
strong  scorer  in  Barts  with  action 


coming  from  Gates  and  Camp- 
bell. This  team  is  not  settling. for 
second  best,  but  kicking  for  the 


Now  that  the  big  four  are  out  on 
the  field,  things  are  beginning  to 
take  place  as  each  team  tests  each 
other  out.  ^Vhich  ever  team 
fights  off  the  kicks  in  the  legs  and 
the  sun's  rays  to  gain  the  title  this 
year  will  definitely  be  going  all 
out  and  ...wide  open.

TWO  COHIRIBUTE  34  YEARS 


Dr.  Futcher  Retires  After 
Serving  4  SDA  Coiieges 


DVanessa  Greenleaf 

"It's  about  time  they  put  me  out  to 
grass!"  he  chuckled.  Even  his  laugh  is 
exquisitely  British.    "Seriously,  everybody 
and  everything  has  really  been  pleasant. 
SMC  is  the  nicest  campus  I've  ever  been  on 
and  the  people  have  been  the  best  to  work 
with." 

Dr.  Cyril  Futcher,  who  has  held  the 
position  of  academic  dean  for  the  last  seven 
years,  has  created  a  stir  in  the  community  by 
announcing  his  retirement.  But  after  16 
years  at  SMC-nine  as  director  of  admissions 
and  records,  seven  as  academic  dean-has  he 
earned  the  "luxury  of  retirement?" 


50  Years  Ago 


Well,  his  work  for  the  church  began  50 
years  ago,  15  years  after  his  birth  in  South 
Hampton,  England.  It  was  there  at  the 
British  Health  Food  Factory  that  he  met  for 
the  first  time  Gladys  Hyde,  who  was 
secretary  to  the  sales  manager. 

After  working  at  the  factory  for  two  and  a 
half  years,  young  Futcher  went  to  his  first 
Adventist  school,  Newbold  College. 
Normally,  a  student  would  have  spent  six 
years  going  through  their  academic 
program.  Futcher  did  stay  six  years  at  New- 
bold,  but  two  of  those  years  were  spent 
teaching.  "1  was  in  a  hurry,  sol  finished  in 
four, ' '  he  explains.  For  the  next  two  years 
he  taught  history,  math,  geography,  Bible, 
accounting,  and  English. 

His  Lady-Friend 

By  this  time,  the  young  teacher  had 
become  a  little  more  acquainted  with  that 
eligible  secretary  to  the  sales  manager  and 
had  decided  she  was  to  be  his  wife,  but  he 
had  to  come  to  the  United  States  to  attend 
Emanuel  Missionary  College  for  two  years  of 
additional  schooling,  leaving  his  fiancee 
back  home  in  England. 

"We  didn't  even  sec  each  other  for  two 
years!"  Dr,  Futcher  reminisced.  "Sowhen 
these  young  men  tell  me  they  can't  leave 
their  lady-friend  for  a  month...!" 

His  years  at  EMC  were  rather  busy. 
When  he  finished,  he  had  majors  in  religion 
and  history;  plus  a  minor  in  English.  The 
young  scholar  also  accomplished  somethmg 
else--he  was  the  first  to  graduate  from  EMC 
with  honors.  And  to  do  that,  besides  being 
eligible  in  the  first  place,  he  had  to  do  quite 
an  extensive  piece  of  research.  "But  1 
survived  and  made  haste  back  to  England 
where  we  (Miss  Hyde  and  I)  wasted  no  time 
in  getting  married! "  The  year  was  1938. 

The  groom  was  scheduled  to  teach  mamly 
math  and  science  courses  at  Newbold  while 


his  bride  was  registrar  and  in  charge  of  the 
secretarial  department. 

Previously,  as  a  student  at  Newbold, 
Futcher  had  asked  President  Murdoch  why 
there  couldn't  be  a  course  taught  in 
denominational  history.  Now  two  years  later 
and  two  days  before  classes  were  to  begin, 
Futcher  met  up  with  President  Murdoch  who 
informed  him  that  there  was,  in  fact,  going 

n   ! .  f 


■  to  be  a  class  in  denominational  history. 
'  "Great!  That'sjust  what  we  need!" - 
the  ecstatic  reply.  Now  it  was  the 
president's  turn  to  get  excited. 
,  "Yes!  and  you  are  going  to  teach  it!" 
j  Dr.  Futcher  laughed  as  he  related  the 
incident.  "You  can  imagine  what  1  spent  the

Francis' 
Heart  In 
Education 

DMathewStaver 

What  happened  to  the  "all  heart"  man, 
who  used  to  stroll  the  campus  wearing  a  hat 
dark  grey  trench  coat,  and  carrying  a 
bulging  briefcase?  That  man,  of  course.  Is 
Elder  Robert  E.  Francis,  professor  of 
religion. 

Due  to  a  prolonged  illness,  involving  heart 
and  lung  difficulries.  Elder  Francis  hasn't 
been  able  to  teach  this  semester.  After 
recouperating  for  awhile  at  the  Florida 
Hospital  in  Orlando.  Fla.,  he's  back  in 
Collegedale  now  continuing  a 
doctor-supervised  rest. 

61st  Birthday 

Elder  Francis  will  retire  either  at  the  end 
of  this  summer  or  in  December.  However, 
there  is  the  possibility  that  he  will  continue 
teaching  on  a  Semi-retired  basis. 

Elder  Francis  celebrated  his  6 1st  birthday 
last  semester.  Being  a  member  of  the 
faculty  of  the  religion  department  for  the 
past  18  years,  one  of  the  longest  employed 
faculty  members  of  the  college,  he  taught 
Teachings  of  Jesus,  Adventist  Beliefs, 
Foundations  of  the  Advent  Movement, 
Last-Day  Events,  and  Christian  Theology. 

Famous  Charts 

Elder  Francis  is  a  man  greatly  known  for 
his  charts,  especially  concerning  last-day 
events.  He  said.  "My  theology  has  been 
greatiy  influenced  by  Elder  Pingenot  as  to

True  or  False:   AdvenHsts  are  eagerly  awaiting  the  shaking  time. 

Answering  that  question  could  back  you  into  a  corner  some 
day-especially  if  ifs  asked  by  a  -Babylonian'iPaxton)  who  knows 
Advcntisis  and  who  truly  cares. 

And  the  trouble  is  not  with  the  Babylonians,  but  with  us. 

When  confronted  bv  a  point-blank  question  of  what  oOr  terms 
reallv  mean  we  fidget  nervously  and  disagree  with  each  other  on  jusl 
exactly  what  we're  talking  about.  (Ever  hear  a  discussion  on 
righleousness--or  is  it  sanctification--by  faith?) 

Last  Sabbath  at  the  AdventisI  Forum,  when  Geoffrey  Paxton  was 
asked  if  he'd  ever  become  an  Adventist.  he  pointed  out  our  problem 
by  saying.  "I  don't  know  exactly  what  one  is  to  become  one!"  What 
ever  happened  to  "The  People  of  the  Book?" 

The  haze  is  a  little  frustrating  at  times.  On  one  hand  we  say  we're 
God's  special,  last-of-the-true  people.  On  the  other  hand  %ve  find  our 
terms  and  definitions  so  broad  that  a  Catholic  council  finds  an  SDA 
theologian's  beliefs  about  righteousness  by  faith  a  perfect  statement 
of  Calholic  doctrines.  A  foggy  window  doesn't  help  anyone  much, 
and  as  the  show  window  of  the  world,  Adventists  can't  afford  to  be 
hazy  about  what  we  believe. 

The  number  of  young  people  who  turned  out  to  hear  Paxton  and 
their  frequent,  hearty  Amens  hint  that  they  too  feel  the  need  to  wipe 
away  the  fog  and  get  the  act  together- 

Now  back  to  the  original  question.   Are  we  anxious  to  be  shaken? 

Well,  that  answer  varies  with  each  individual.  But  Paxton,  in  all 
sincerity,  is  asking  the  questions  and  probing  the  issues  that  just  may 
shake  us  back  to  life. 

Do  Something  For  America 


Dear  Editor: 

I'd  just  like  to  say  that  we 
students  should  really  become 
more  involved  and  interested  in 
the  political  and  governmental 
functions  of  our  counties,  states, 
and  country.  How  else  are  we 
going  to  let  them  know  that  we 
are  still  out  here? 

No  matter  what  you're  into,  the 
same  umbrella  is  over  us  all.  We 
must  have  a  voice  in  the  shaping 
of  cur  futures  in  whatever  area  of 
life  or  profession  we  pursue. 

Let  me  encourage  all  of  you  to 


get  involved,  whether  it  be  in 
Tennessee  or  in  your  own  home 
state!  Become  active  in  the  sup- 
port of  the  party  of  your  choice  by 
contributing  your  time,  money,  or 
voting  support.  Don't  let  political 
apathy  rule  in  your  life.  Some- 
thing is  better  than  nothing. 
Volunteer  efforts  support  the  sys- 
tem. 

As  we  recall  in  the  words  of  a 
beloved,  martyred  president. 
"Ask  not  what  your  country  can 
do  for  you.  but  what  you  can  do 
for  your  country."

American  Arrogance  Speaks   Louder 
Than   Words    Overseas 


Dear  Editor: 

It  has  been  with  curiosity, 
humor,  and  pity  that  I  have  read 
the  last  several  issues  of  The 
Southern  Accent.  I've  been  cur- 
ious about  what  goes  on.  hum- 
ored by  your  April  I  issue,  and 
caused  to  pity  the  lament  of  the 
bachelors  who  are  more  concern- 
ed about  getting  along  with  the 
ladies  than  getting  good  grades. 
Even  so.  the  editorial  in  last 
week's  issue  lamenting  the  de- 
mise of  the  study  of  foreign  lan- 
guages struck  a  sour  note. 

Granted,  there  have  been  mis- 
takes in  the  past  where  improper 
translations  have  had  embarras- 
ing  or  regrettable  results,  but  the 
chances  of  such  events  being  re- 
'peated  continue  to  diminish. 

1  taught  English  conversation 
in  Korea.  The  Koreans  are  en- 
gaged in  a  massive  program  of 
learning  English  so  they  can  com- 
pete in  international  commerce. 
At  Tokyo  airport  I  tried  calling  a 
number  and  misdialed  three 
times  before  getting  it  right. 
Each  time  I  got  someone  who 
spoke  English  well.  At  an  auto- 
mobile factory  I  could  converse 
freely  with  the  production  line 
workers  —  in  English! 

In  all  the  countries  of  Europe 
the  study  of  English  conversation 
is  required  in  high  school.  In 
Russia,  students  begin  the  study 
of  English  conversation  in  ele- 
mentary school.  Why?  The  U.S. 
is  the  supreme  economic  power  in 
the  world  and  international  com- 
merce is  conducted  in  English. 
Most   international   treaties    are 


written  in  English. 

An  item  that  should  be  of  much 
greater  concern  to  us  than  the 
decline  and  demise  of  the  study  of 
foreign  languages  is  the  study  of 
English.   Today  fewer  and  fewer 


are  capable  of  using 
the  English  language  well.  Let's 
work  on  improving  our  command 
of  our  native  tongue  or  soon  we 
may  be  mourning  its  demise  as 
the  international  language.

our  denominational  groups  can- 
not be  invited  to  this  college

is  for  the  Heritage  Singers.  Is 
their  music  or  style  evil  just  be- 
cause it  isn't  slow  and  paused? 

One  thing  is  from  Goid  or  from 
the  devil.  What  is  the  classifi- 
cation of  their  music?  How  can 
you  explain  that  many  souls  are 
being  converted  through  this 


musical  group.  I  don't  think  that 
the  devil  can  change  people  for 
God's  ways. 

I  think  that  in  this  college  there 
are  a  lot  of  other  bad  things  to  be 
preoccupied  with,  not  only  the 
music  of  some  groups.  Think 
about  it. 

This  letter  is  due  to  the  sermon 
of  Dr.  Knittel  about  the  music  last 
Sabbath.

Learning    From  Non-SDA's 


Dear  Editor: 

We  have  had  some  provocative 
speakers  on  campus  in  recent 
weeks,  among  them  a  Catholic 
theologian  and  a  labor-union 
lawyer. 

I  trust  that  we  can  look  upon 
these  situations  somewhat  as  we 
do  those  of  visiting  entertainers 
who  are  here  from  time  to  time: 
we  attend  if  we  wish,  we  give 
them  the  courtesy  of  listening, 


and  we  do  not  assume  that  the 
College  advocates  the  views  of 
our  guests. 

We  might  even  go  a  step  fur- 
ther and  ask  ourselves  whether 
what  the  speakers  (and  entertain- 
ers) have  said  (and  done)  might 
point  out  inconsistencies  in  our 
life-styte  or  weaknesses  in  our 
witness  for  the  Lord.

Won't  Be  Back!" 


"I  ai))  not  coming  back  to  SMC 
next  year;  I  can't  afford  it,"  "To 
go  here  you  need  to  be  rich,  and 
I'm  not  rich,"  "This  place  is 
turning  into  a  hifih-class  social 
club  and  I  just  don't  fit  in," 
These  comments  reveal  that  SMC 
students  are  concerned  about  the 
rising  costs  of  Adventist  educa- 
tion. 

Is  SMC  too  high  for  most  peo- 
ple? Will  it  become  a  rich  kid's 
college?  Is  it  heading  for  a 
country  club  future? 


There   is   a    vast 
tween  SMC  and 


1  say 
differenc 
UTC,  bel 
they  offer  to  a  student!  One  is 
based  on  the  principles  of  heaven 
while  the  other  has  its  basis  in 
modern  humanism  that  has   no 


place  for  a  Creator  or  a  Savior. 

One  offers  the  preparation  for 
eternity.  The  other  gives  you  a 
certificate  for  Satan's  final  blow- 
out. Our  education  system  may 
not  be  perfect  or  even  the  best  or 
cheapest,  but  the  direction  is 
right  on  the  mark. 

Prices— prices  are  interesting 
games  that  we  plav  with  our- 
selves. We  seem  to  be  so  de- 
pendent on  human  resources  that 
we  fail  to  realize  that  God  has 
infinite  resources. 

He  will  provide.  It  may  come 
as  a  grant,  a  mysterious  donation, 
a  job,  or  a  loan.  Yes,  I  said,  a 
loan.  There  are  a  few  among  us 
who  would  have  us  to  believe  that 
a  loan  out  for  your  education  is 
high  sin  (worse  than  PDA),  1 
don't  read  the  Spirit  of  Prophecy 
that  way,    Ellen  White  borrowed 


money  (dare  I  say  it— she  took  out 
loans).  All  of  these  were  for  the 
church,  Loma  Linda  is  a  prime 
example,  but  what  a  blessing, 
investment,  and  return  it  has 
been,  even  with  all  its  faults. 

An  Adventist  education  is  an 
investment  that  promises  rich  re- 
turns for  all.  You  need  SMC  and 
SMC  needs  you. 

You  are  in  my  opinion  the 
future  of  our  movement.  Do"  ' 
abandon  it  and  allow  it  to  die 
because  vou  don't  see  how  you 
are  going  to  make  it  raoneywise- 
Allow  God  to  have  His  way  m 
your  life  and  He  will  take  care  oi 

'  Your  decision  must  be  based  on 
faith  not  on  your  bank  account; 
"I'm  not  coming  back  to  SM^ 
next  year."   1  say  to  you  that  y 
can'tafford  not  to.

Is  The  Time  Squeeze 
Ruining  Your  Life? 


As  finals   approach,  and  then 
summer,  one  thing  that  is  in 
danger  of  getting  crowded  out  is 
special  time  with  the  Lord. 

It's  an  old  wartime  device:  Cut 
off  the  enemy's  supply  lines  so 
the  troops  will  be  weakened  and 
emaciated.  Then  you've  as  good 
as  won.  And  the  Tempter  does 
just  that  to  any  Christian  who  will 
let  him. 

Have  you  noticed  how  subtly  it 
happens?  Other  things  crowd  in. 
perfectly  good  ones.  I  need  my 
rest.  Time  magazine  has  a  really 
important  cover  story  this  week, 
and  it's  lying  right  by  my  Bible. 
My  roommate  is  asleep,  so  I 
really  shouldn't  get  up  and  make 
a  disturbance.  If  I  skim  the  notes 
once  more.  I'll  do  better  on  the 
exam. ..and  I'll  have  a  double 
quiet  time  tomorrow. 

Bad  news:  It'll  never  get  any 
easier. 

If  you  gotograd  school,  the 
pressures  will  be  all  the  fiercer. 
If  you  get  a  job.  you  may  find 
yourself  leaving  the  house  at  6:55 
a.m.  to  commute  to  work. 

If  you  get  married,  there's 
another  person  to  consider;  your 
time  is  no  longer  your  own.  And 
that  person  may  be  more 
interesting  than  God.  for  a  while. 
Once  you  have  kids...  Ifyou  can't 
squeeze  in  a  quiet  time  now,  lots 
of  luck  later. 

More  bad  news:  Even  mature 
Christians  struggle  with  this — it 
may  be  the  biggest  overall, 
lifetime  battle  of  all.  (It's  a  relief, 
at  least,  to  know  we're  not  along.) 

Well,  I  can  think  of  some  good 
reasons  for  having  a  regular  time 
with  God. 

Suppose  you're  ready  to  try  (or 
try  again)  developing  this  habit. 
What  is  the  best  approach?  Try 
these  five  hints. 

1.  Clear  your  mind  and  your 
environment.  If  there  are  things  to 
read  or  bills  to  pay  on  your  desk. 


move  them  out  of  sight  or  turn 
your  chair  in  another  direction. 
Don't  have  any  textbooks  in  view. 

2.  Establish  a  posture  and 
mindset  of  worship.  You  may  be 
limited  as  to  where  you  can  study 
and  pray,  but  don't  settle  for 
going  through  a  routine  without 
ever  meeting  God.  Take  time  to 
acknowledge  his  presence  (talk  to 
him  aloud,  if  possible).  Use 
props:  the  beautiful  things 
around  you,  especially  ifyou  can 
be  outdoors;  a  hymn  or  poem  that 
"says  it"  better  than  you  can. 

3.  Praise  God.  Don't  let 
yourself  get  into  the  habit  of 
always  asking  for  things  when 
you  pray.  Learn  to  just  plain 
rejoice  in  him.  Some  days,  this 
may  take  your  whole  prayer  time. 
Other  days,  you'll  concentrate  on 
bringing  your  own  or  your  friends' 
needs  to  him. 

4.  Consider  a  prayer  list.  It 
will  help  you  focus  on  these 
people  and  concerns  you  have 
been  intending  to  pray  for, 
without  having  to  prowl  through 
all  sorts  of  mental  debris  to  find 
them.  It'll  help  you  avoid  the 
embarrassment  of  hearing 

'  'Thanks  for  praying  for  me! " 
when  you've  forgotten  to.  And 
it'll  help  you  notice  the  answers 
your  prayers  are  getting. 

5.  Keep  in  mind  that  you'll 
need  to  change  your  quiet  time 
agenda  from  time  to  time,  to 
avoid  going  stale.  In  good 
weather,  go  for  a  walk  so  you  can 
pray  aloud.  Set  yourself  to 
memorize  a  portion  of  Scripture 
and  meditate  on  it,  each  day  for  a 
solid  week. 

The  practitioner  of 
transcendental  meditation  spends 
time  daily  in  reciting  his 
meaningless  mantra..  Why 
should  you  and  I  spend  less  time 
in  communion  with  our  holy 
Creator- Redeemer  God?

The  Limelight    c 
Of  Wright  Hall 


Counting  shadows  on  the  wall 
doesn't  bother  me  at  all,  even 
when  it's  in  front  of  Wright  Hall. 
But  I  sure  wish  they  would  invite 
me  to  play. 

Some  of  the  games  people  play 
can  plainly  be  seen  at  night  in  the 
shadows  in  front  of  the  spotlights. 
For  those  of  you  who  haven't 
caught  on  to  what  I'm  talking 
about,  well,  let  me  tell  ya. 

The  in  thing  to  do  around  cam- 
pus in  acting  out  your  fantasies  is 
to  take  the  spotlight.  Can  you 
dare— would  you  dare— take  the 


spotlight  in  front  of  your  friends 
and  "Act  it  out?" 

Every  night  just  after  dark,  the 
spots  (floodlights)  come  on  to  add 
a  bit  of  southern  class  to  the  tall, 
elongated  columns.  The  white 
trim  and  office  windows  set  a 
perfect  stage. 

Between  spotlight  "an  'i  on 
time,"  and  roomcheck  time  there 
are  at  least  three  good  hours  for  a 
spotlight  shadow  party. 

A  what?  A  spotlight  shadow

-opinion 


o 


Luke,  do  you  have  to  be  so  painfully  honest? 


Dear  Brother  Luke, 

Though  we've  never  met.  I've  followed  your  adven- 
tures with  the  Apostle  Paul  with  fascinated  interest.  So 
I'm  doubly  delighted  to  have  been  retained  by  the  council 
of  the  ApObUes  in  Jerusalem  as  your  public  relations 
consultant. 

A  cop:-  »f  your  second  manuscript  has  been  forwarded 
lo  inu.  Ii  certainly  is  an  exciting  document.  I  think  your 
title.  Acts  of  the  Apostles,  strikes  just  the  right  keynote. 

But  there  are  two  or  three  matters  that  I'd  like  to  call  to 
vour  attention.  I'm  sure  you'll  agree  that  the  real  need  at 
this  point  in  time  is  to  put  the  church's  best  foot  forward. 

In  the  light  of  that  need,  let  me  raise  my  concerns. 

First  of  all.  I'm  a  little  hesitant  about  where  you 
include  the  account  of  the  choosing  of  Matthias  by  lots. 

We  both  know  the  Apostles  were  new  to  this  matter  of 
seeking  divine  guidance  in  such  an  important  matter.  In 
their  inexperience,  they  turned  to  the  primitive  device  of 
casting  lots.  It  probably  seemed  natural  enough  at  the 
time,  but  in  retrospect  it  smacksa  little  of  black  magic. 

Would  it  not  be  just  as  well  and  just  as  true  to  simply 
say  that  they  prayed  and  "felt  led"  to  number  Matthias 
among  the  12?  (In  addition,  it  would  save  the  church 
unnecessary  embarassment.) 

Then  in  chapter  nine,  you  have  dramatically  captured 
the  tension  of  that  moment  when  Paul  escaped  Damas- 
cus.   But.  Luke,  really,  the  picture  of  the  Apostle  Paul 


CRITIC  AT  LARGE 

m 

lOHH 

uujug 

Reprinted  with  Pennlsslon  Fttiin  The  National  Courier 


curled  up  in  the  bottom  of  an  oversized  baslcet  swinging 
by  ropes  from  the  city  wall  presents  a  somewhat 
undignified  picture. 

Perhaps  it  would  accomplish  the  same  thing  to  say  that 
they  just  whisked  him  out  of  town  under  the  cover  of 
night. 

You  have  effectively  included  a  little  comic  relief  in 
chapter  12  with  the  story  of  Rhoda.  We  can  all  chuckle  at 
the  picture  of  the  disciples  praying  "without  ceasing" 
for  the  imprisoned  Peter  and  then  refusing  to  believe  it 
when  he  is  miraculously  delivered  from  prison. 

But  is  it  really  worth  it?    Couldn't  this  be  considered 


playing  for  a  cheap  laugh?  I  feel  it  would  be  more  direct 
just  to  say,  "They  opened  the  door  and  were  amazed  to 
see  Peter." 

One  final  concern  includes  that  brief  little  note  you  put 
in  chapter  15  regarding  the  "sharp  contention"  between 
Barnabas  and  Paul.  I  commend  you  for  not  taking  sides 
in  the  issue  and  pointing  a  finger.  But  may  I  suggest-for 
the  sake  of  Christian  unity  and  our  public  testimony-that 
the  record  of  this  disagreement  be  left  out  of  the  official 
history? 

After  all,  the  misunderstanding  actually  resulted  in  an 
increase  of  evangelism  since  Paul  and  Barnabas  went  in 
different  directions. 

Luke,  unbelievers  will  see  this  document;  we  must 
show  the  church  at  its  best.  I  would  not  for  one  minute 
ask  you  to  say  anything  not  true.  Oh  no!  But  it  is  true 
that  a  wonderful  sense  of  unity  pervades  the  church  and 
that  faith  has  been  shown  and  great  wonders  have  been 
accomplished. 

Let's  be  sure  that's  the  story  we  telll  1  think  with  the 
few  changes  I  have  suggested  it  could  even  become  the 
classic  history  of  the  church  in  this  period. 

With  Christian  affection, 
Ernest  Flacliery

THEATERS:  SEE  HO  EVIL? 

The  mumblings  and  controversy  over  theater-going  have  been  stirred  again,  it  s  in  a  theater? 
This  time  the  prodding   comes  from   the   movie    "The   Other  Side   of  the 

Mountain.  "  which  was  shown  in  the  gym  a  few  weeks  ago.    Or  more  correctly.  Other  students  have  questions  to  counter  that  one;  some  have  a  few  answers. 

the  probe  is  its  sequel,  part  two.  which  is  now  being  shown  in  theaters.  The  Accent  has  selected  a  variety  of  comments  from  the  men  in  Talge  Hall  for 

Why.  students  are  asking,  is  it  wrong  to  see  the  rest  of  the  story  just  because  you  to  think  about. 


•I  like  movies  (science  fiction, 
etc.  Jaws,  Star  Wars,  King 
Kong.  747,  etc.),  but  I  hate 
theaters.  I  hate  to  go  to  theaters 
I  learned  good  things  in  the 
movies,  but  I  learned  bad  things 
in  the  theater. 

•I  don't  feel  that  one  can  maintain 
a  vital  relationship  with  the  Lord 
while  making  it  a  habit  of 
movie-theater  attendance. 
•It  must  be  a  decision  which  is 
made  as  a  result  of  a  Christian 
experience  and  not  a  decision 
because  it's  what  you  should  do. 
•1  know  that  E.G.W.  gives  us 
counsel  on  it  and  the  Bible  tells  u: 
"Whatsoever  things  are 
pure... .think  on  these  things."  I 
have  not  attended  since  baptism 
and  don't  plan  to  go  in  the  future. 

•From  my  own  experience  I  have 
seen  in  my  life  how  it  perverts  my 
mind.  Yes,  not  all  of  it  is  bad,  but 
that  is  the  blinding  influence  and 
control  Satan  has  over  us. 
•Even  though  I've  gone  to  movies 
in  the  past  few  months,  I  still 
believe  it's  wrong  to  do  so.  We 
should  follow  what  the  church 
teaches  on  this. 

•I  believe  that  our  churches  are 
obliged  to  provide  a  "Substitute" 
type  of  recreation.  Many  times 
the  youth  have  no  type  of 
"healthful"  recreation.  I  hope 
our  church  becomes  involved  in 
providing  for  a  systematic  type  of 
recreation.  1  generally  dislike  the 
notion  of  attending  movies,  but  I 
do  see  that  many  have  no  other 
type  of  recreation. 

•I  attend  a  movie  when  I  feel  it  is 
a  good  quality,  high  class  film,  as 
1  feel  movie- making  is  a  modern 
day  Torm  of  art.  The  main  bad 
thing  I  see  with  them  is  the 
money  it  costs.  There  are.  of 
course,  bad  movies.  There  are 
^ad  everything.  We  must,  and 
-an,  choose  between  good  and 
''ad.  Entertainment  for 
'musement  alone  is  not  evil. 
Star  Wars"  is  not  a  bad  movie. 


It  doesn't  corrupt  the  soul  or 
cause  one  to  be  lost. 
•I  don't  go  to  movies,  mainly 
because  I  don't  want  to  spend  the 
money.  I  wouldn't  generally  goto 
movies,  but  since  I've  watched 
them  on  TV,  it  would  be  easier  for 
me  to  be  talked  into  going.  Gen- 
erally speaking,  movies  are  about 
sin.  I  think  they  lead  one  to  sin  — 
in  the  wind. 

•Personally,  I  feel 
that  it's  the  type  of  theater 
which  you  as  an  individual  attend. 
Also,  it's  the  type  of  movie  that  is 
going  to  be  presented. 
Furthermore,  it's  the  shadow  of 
influence  that  you  cast  on  others. 
Therefore,  if  a  movie  is  going  to 
be  presented  and  it  has  no 
profanity,  no  sexually  stimulating 
scenes  and  no  unhealthy 
environment,  I  greatly  feel  that  I 
will  attend. 

•Some  people,  like  I,  just  feel 
relaxed  for  awhile  getting  out  of 
the  weekly  routine  and  going  to 
watch  a  movie.  I  think  there  is 
nothing  bad  with  it,  if,  of  course, 
you  select  the  kind  of  movie  that 
you  attend.   I  have  to  admit  that 
it's  necessary  to  uatch  so  that  it 
doesn't  become  a  habit  (very 
chronic.) 

•  I  do  not  believe  that  the  people 
of  the  church  should  go  to  the 
theater  or  to  the  movies.  One  of 
the  biggest  reasons  for  not  going 
is  because  of  the  atmosphere  of 
the  surroundings.  It  is  not  always 
because  of  the  picture  that  is 
being  shown  because  you  could 
watch  the  same  movie  on  the  TV. 
Most  of  the  theaters  are  a  place 
where  Satan  can  work  very 
effectively  and  he  will  if  we  put 
ourselves  in  that  kind  of  a 
situation.  Personally.  I  have 
never  gone  to  the  theater  and 
hope  to  never  go. 

•  Remember  drive-ins  are  only  for 
making  out! 

•  I  have  better  things  to  do  with 
my  time  and  my  money.  I  really 
don't  think  we  need  our  SDA 


that  are  made  legal  just 
decause  we  show  them  in  a  cold 
gym  and  sit  on  hard  folding 
chairs.  Movies  can  be  great 
education  aids,  but  most  of  what 
we  show  is  not  of  that  type. 
•I  do  go  to  movies  occasionally. 
As  for  theater- going,  I  do  not  feel 
that  it  conflicts  with  my  religious 
beliefs.  There  are  good  movies 
and  bad  movies  and  by  their 
ratings  and  your  personal 
relationship  with  Jesus  Christ  a 
person  can  make  that  decision  on 
them. 

•I  feel  that  movies  and  Christian 
experiences  don't  mix.  The  same 
goes  with  TVs.  although  some 
stuff  I  do  approve  of.  But  as  far 
as  not  going  to  movies  because 
they  are  in  a  movie  house,  well, 
that's  for  the  birds  and  old 
patriarchs  who  are  hooked  on 
soap  operas. 

•I  would  not  make  a  flat-out 
statement  that  all  movies  are 
wrong  to  go  to  at  all  times. 
•I,  myself,  have  attended  movies 
since  young  childhood  and  have 
attended  R  rated  movies.  But 
after  seeing  any  movie,  I've  never 
been  moved  to  have  sex,  take 
drugs,  or  kill  anyone,  and  they've 
never  put  violent  thoughts  in  my 
mind.  What  warps  the  mind 
worse  than  anything  are  the  quiz 
shows  and  football  games.  I've 
seen  the  deans  yell  and  cheer  for 
blood,  watching  football,  but  it's 
wrong  to  watch  a  violent  movie? 
Why  the  double  standard? 
Movies  may  be  harmful  to  an 
emotionally  unbalanced  person. 
For  that  matter,  a  rapist  may 
watch  violent  movies,  but  the 
average  rapist  probably  drinks 
milk,  too. 

•If  a  person  wants  to  go.  you  will 
do  very  little  to  stop  them.  1  have 
gone  occasionally  to  the  theater  if 
there  was  an  interesting  tilm.  1^ 
agree  that  the  majority  of  today's 
films  are  bad.  but  when  a  good 
one  does  come  along  1  see  no 
difference  in  viewing  it  here  or  at 
the  theater.  They  probably 


charge  us  more  here  through  our 
student  activities  fees  that  we 
would  pay  down  there. 

•1  wouldn't  make  it  a  test  of  faith. 
Like  music*,  it's  a  personal  thing. 
If  you  don'twant  togo  then  by  all 
means  don't  go,  but  don't  try  to 
criticize  me  for  it. 
•I  find  it  confusing  sometimes ! 
I  don't  see  anything  wrong  with 
some  aspects  of  the  theater  but  1 
still  don't  attend  'cause  1  know 
it's  wrong.  At  times  1  feel  like  I'd 
want  to  go.  then  again  1  don't  see 
the  value  in  it.  They  don't  really 
attract  me  too  much  since  I  don't 
even  watch  television. 

•  1  don't  have  time  to  visit  the 
movies.  I  have  gone  twice  in  my 
life,  and  it  was  okay.  But,  there 
are  better  things  to  do  so  much 
better,  and  it  is  these  that  I  prefei 
to  do. 

•The  criteria  we  must  use  for 
deciding  if  something  is  "Right" 
or  not  is  the  Word.  Anything  that 
detracts  our  eyes  from  the 
kingdom  may  prove  to  be  our 
downfall.  If  we  would  feel 
(honestly)  comfortable  asking 
Christ  to  attend  the  theaterwith 
us,  then  it  must  be  all  right,  but 
any  reserve  in  asking  Him  would 
mean  it  is  "shady."  Motion 
pictures  thetnselves  are  not  more 
sin  than  bcycles  in  Mrs.  White's 
counsel.  They  serve  a  purpose  in 
learning  if  used  properly. 
•Movies  are  not  mherently  bad  or 
evil.  I  think  theater  attendance 
should  be  a  persona!  matter 
between  the  person  and  God. 
People  have  the  ability  to  decide 
what  is  a  worthwhile  movie  and 
what  is  not.  Ifa  person  is  a 
constant  or  very  frequent 
attender  of  bad  movies  then 
he/she  should  be  hung  by  the 
neck  until  dead. 

•  I  think  movie-going  should  be 
the  choice  of  the  individual.  Even 
though  the  church  rules  against 
it,  I  can't  see  their  point  on  some 
movies.  Some  are  permissible, 
but  most  I  don't  recommend  that 


Adventists  see.  I  have  gone  to 
three  in  my  life  and  I  can't  say  I 
actually  felt  comfortable  except  in 
one  of  them.  If  you  feel  a 
conviction  about  not  going  to  one. 
by  all  means  follow  your 
conviction. 

•I  disagree  with  the  assumption 
that  movie  attendance  is  a  sin. 
There  are  good  and  bad  movies 
and  to  lump  all  of  them  into  the 
classification  of  sin,  causing  us  to 
commit  spiritual  adultery,  is 
nothingshort  of  fanaticism.  How 
come  the  applications  of  other 
SDA  colleges  don't  question  you 
about  movie  attendance? 
•Movies  are  appealing  in  ads,  but 
i  don't  wish  to  form  a  habit  of 
going.  If  we  have  rules,  we 
should  abide  by  them.  But  I'm 
dying  to  see  a  few  movies  and 
might  just  do  it  for  curiosity's 
sake.    Hope  1  don't  burn  in  hell 
•Well,  I  really  don't  believe  a 
person  should  go  to  movies,  but 
it  someti.-nes  seems   inconsistant 
.because  they  have  shown  some 
questionable  movies  here. 

•Well.  1  like  good  Walt  Disney 
flicks,  but  most  all  good  movie: 
have  a  little  bit  of  violence  or 
some  other  rot.  Sometime  ^  prerty 
interesting  —  but  mostly  in   the 
movies  nowadays  the  rot  is  what 
is  very  interesting. 

•I  think  Adventists  get  off  on  too 
much  against  movies  when  the 
same  movies  come  on  television 
and  we  say  it  is  all  right.  I  really 
think  that  more  than  half  of  the 
school  goes  to  movies.  I  myself 
sec  no  sense  in  going  to  them. 

•In  the  past  1  have  attended 
movies.  I  don't  anymore!  The 
Christian  who  is  committed  and 
growing  in  Christ  will  not,  I  feel, 
go  to  movies.  I  think  there  is  too 
much  complacency  among  SDA 
youth  towards  movies.  I  don't 
think  we  would  go  if  Christ  were 
physically  with  us.

;,\t  two  days  and  nights  doing!" 

Along  with  his  heavy  load  of  work  at 

swboid.  Futcher  was  also  taking  some 

postgraduate  studies  at  the  University  of 

London  where  he  obtained  a  math  major  a 

physics  minor. 

Move  To  Australia 

om  Newbold.  the  Futcher  family, 
increased  by  two,  moved  to  West  Australi; 
Missionary  College  in  January  of  1949  where 
Dr.  Futcher  was  in  charge  of  history,  math, 
science,  and  also  registrar.  After  serving  at 
the  Australian  college  for  eight  years,  the 
five-member  Futcher  family,  now  Including 
Tony.  Carol,  and  Terrance.  came  on 

ugh  to  the  United  States  and  settled  in 
Takoma  Park.  Maryland,  where  Dr.  Futcher 
began  work  on  his  doctorate  as  a  sideline  to 
his  teaching  at  Columbia  Union  College.  Hi; 
doctorate  was  in  the  area  of  history  and 
philosophy  of  education. 


"Righto" 


Then  came  the  special  year  of  1962--the 
year  the  Futchers  moved  to  Southern 
Missionary  College.  Four  years  later,  my 
family  and  I  moved  to  Collegedale  and 

ttled  in  a  house  across  the  street  from 
them.  1  was  only  eight  years  of  age,  but  I 

itill  remember  being  fascinated  by  his 
English  accent.  And  the  unique  way  he  said 
Righto"  had  me  practicing  for  days  to  turn 
ly  southern  accented  "Righto"  into  a 
genuin:;.  sophisticated  English  "Righto." 

as  the  man  who  didn't  yell  at  us  kids  for 
playing  "Hide  and  Seek",  using  their  big 
tree  as  the  favorite  hiding  place. 

His  secretary.  Evonne  Richards  thinks  of 
m  as  a  boss  who  is  non-pressurized,  who 
plans  ahead,  and  who  is  prompt  to  get  things 
done.  "His  ability  to  treat  student  #450  the 
as  student  #1  has  taught  me  a  lot  about 
nee."  she  comments.  "Sometimes, 
secretaries  have  to  cover  for  their  bosses-! 
t.  He  always  lets  me  know  where  he  is 
going." 

His  favorite  morning  watch  book  is  Sons 
andOaaghtersof  God,"  Jane  Brown,  the 
president's  secretary  reflects. Thcnshe  sums 
up  quite  adequately  the  feelings  of  most 
people  who  know  Dr.  Futcher:  "Tome.  Dr. 
Futcher  exemplifies  a  person  who  is  truly  a 
of  God." 


Francis  com,  from 


>.  1 

A^  of  the 


ElderFrazeeasl 
sanctuary." 

Elder  Francis"  theology  is  related  to  the 
glory  of  God.  its  basic  motivation  is  the 
vindication  of  God  in  the  great  controversy. 


Perfectionist 

When  he  refers  to  himself  as  a 
perfectionist,  he  does  not  mean  holy  flesh, 
but  that  one  can  have  perfection  of 
character.  "This."  he  Insists,  "is  done  by 
the  grace  of  God." 

"Now  we  have  a  mediator  to  atone  for  our 
sins,  but  during  the  time  of  trouble  there  will 
be  no  mediator.  So  then  if  we  sin,  who 
should  atone  for  our  sin?  That  doesn't 
mean."  he  said,  "we  will  ever  be  without 
grace  or  that  we  will  stand  by  our  own 
power.  What  It  does  mean  is  that  our  love 
for  God  will  be  so  intense  we  will  not  want  to 
sin.  Our  greatest  desire  will  be  to  vindicate 
God  before  an  onlooking  universe,  so  much 
so  that  we  would  rather  die  than  sin." 

Elder  Francis'  mother  died  when  he  was 
only  three  years  old  and  his  father  when  he 
was  five,  so  most  of  his  eariy  years  were 
spent  in  an  orphanage.  When  on  his  17th 
birthday  he  left  the  orphanage,  all  he  had 
was  a  cornet,  a  new  suit  of  clothes,  a 
suitcase,  his  training  received  in  operating  a 
linotype  machine,  and  a  ten-dollar  bill. 

Leaving  the  orphanage,  he  found  himself 
for  the  first  time  in  his  life  faced  with  the 
realities  of  the  world  amidst  a  persistent 


economic  depression,  and  the  never-ceasin, 
problem  of  finding  a  job. 

For  a  while,  he  lived  with  his  sister-now 
by  name  Dorothy  Hoovler-who,  along  with 
Bob,  was  not  an  Adventist. 

But  he  began  studying  the  Bible  with 
Elder  Youngs,  pastor  of  a  nearby 
Seventh-day  Adventist  church.  Elder 
Youngs  invited  him  to  go  to  camp  meeting 
with  him. 


Meets  Vanderman 

At  the  first  meeting.  Bob  went  inside  the 
huge  tent  to  find  a  good  seat.  Looking  over 
the  crowd  and  feeling  very  much  out  of 
place,  a  young  man  spotted  him  who  was  the 
same  age.  With  a  warm  infectious  smile  he 
introduced  himself  as  George  Vanderman. 
"Bob  you  should  be  in  college!"  Vanderman 
told  him. 

Bob  was  finally  baptized  through  the 
instrumentalities  of  both  Elder  Youngs  and 
George  Vanderman,  and  for  a  while  roomed 
with  Vanderman  at  Washington  Missionary 
College,  now  CUC.  The  two  became  best  of 
friends  and  said  Elder  Francis.  "George 
helped  me  a  lot  to  have  a  true  relationship 
withChirst." 


Beatrice  Hopwood 

while  at  Washington  Missionary  College, 
Elder  Franics  met  Beatrice  Hopwood  and 


proposed.  On  November  1 1 .  1938  thTv^ 
married.  ' "'« 

Receives  Calls 

Upon  graduation.  Elder  Francis  received 
call  to  pastor  a  church  in  the  Potomac 
Conference,  and  also  to  operate  a  radio 
station  in  Bluefield.  W.  Va.,  along  withtwn 
other  pastors,  called  "Prophecy  Speaks  " 
Long  hours  were  spent  in  driving  to  and  fto, 
the  radio  station,  and  combined  with  the 
other  duties  of  a  pastor.  Elder  Francis  was 
forced  to  keep  a  strenuous  schedule. 

A  call  then  came  from  Union  Springs 
Academy  in  New  York,  where  Elder  Francis 
accepted  a  job  as  a  pastor  and  Bible  teacher 

Later  in  his  career,  he  taught  at 
Shenandoah  Valley  Academy,  and  then  in 
the  1960-61  school  year  he  accepted  the  call 
to  teach  at  SMC. 


"Heaven  Is  A  School" 

Looking  back.  Elder  Francis  admitted, 
Some  of  his  'choiciest  charts'  have  been 
the  product  of  some  of  his  students. 
Students  have  been  a  real  inspiration  to  me, 
and  the  experiences  have  brought  many 
joys." 

"One  can  never  completely  retire  from 
years  of  spiritual  inter-relationships."  And 
he  has  often  said,  "Heaven  is  primarilya 
school."  Helooksforward  to  the  time  when 
he  can  meet  his  student  and  faculty  comrads 
with  the  matchless  Christ  in  that  better  land.

WHAT  TO  SEE  AND  DO  IN  CHATTOWN 


Some  of  the  best  spring  scenery 
anywhere  can  be  found  along  the 
I  valley  of  the  Tennessee  River  and 
its  tributaries  in  Soulheast  Ten- 
nessee.  Here  the  lower  Cumber- 
j  land   Mountains   meet   the   sou- 
I  thern  Appalachians  and  the  foot- 
i  of  the  Great  Smoky  Moun- 
I  tains. 

I  Smack  dab  in  the  middle  of  this 
I  natural  paradise  is  Chattanooga 
I  and  Lookout  Mountain.  Small 
I  wonder  that  it  is  known  as  the 

"Scenic  Center  of  the  South". 
I  Chattanooga  sits  at  the  junction  of 
I  three  states  and  is  home  to  many 
I  outstanding  attractions. 

Rock  City 

Towering  over  the  city  stands 

I  famous  Lookout  Mountain.  An 
abundance  of  things  to  do  and  see 
have  turned  the   mountain  into 

I  one  of  the  most  familiar  and 
nemorabie  spots  in  the  country. 
For  years  tourists  throughout  the 
South  have  seen  the  famous  "See 
Rock  City"  signs,  barns,  and 
birdhouses.    Rock  City  Gardens 

I  features  trails,  tunnels,  and 
bridges  winding  around  beautiful 

1  rock  formations,  and  a  view  of 
seven  states  from  Lovers  Leap. 

At  the  tip  of  Lookout  Moun- 
tain is  Point  Park,  from  which  one

Cross  The  States  &  Get  In  Shape 


DVan  Boddy 

You  just  can't  miss  it.  Every- 
where you  look,  someone's  doing 
it.  Getting  fit.  Getting  trim. 
Getting  sleek.  Getting  brown. 
Getting  strong.  Pruning  that 
waistline  and  those  thighs  with 
hungry  shears.  They're  running, 
swimming,  bicycling,  playing 
tennis,  racquetball.  lifting 
weights,  skipping  rope,  and  even 
just  plain  walking. 

And  whatever  the  motive,  a 
great  witness  will  be  accomp- 
lished, for  every  newspaper  along 
the  "Across  the  States  in  78" 
route  will  receive  a  newspaper 
article  about  the  program,   the 


collective  student  involvement, 
the  school,  and  our  particular 
health-and-activity-promoting 
lifestyle  that  characterizes  the 
Adventist  affirmation  that  our 
bodies  are  the  temples  of  God. 

For  those  that  are  not  yet  aware 
of  the  "Across  the  States"  pro- 
gram, it  is  an  exercise  promotion 
program  where,  through  running, 
swimming,  cycling,  or  walking, 
participants  may  contribute  mile- 
wise  to  the  collective  college  goal 
of  3,500  miles.  This  is  a  distance 
equivalent  to  the  space  between 
Seattle,  Wash.,  and  Miami,  Fla.. 


Doubles  Hanging  Tough 


DSteve  Thompson 

Hang  tough!  That's  the  phrase 
that's  going  through  the  minds  of 
the  remaining  pairs  of  teams  in 
the  men's  doubles  tennis  tourn- 
ament. There  are  eight  pairs  left, 
so  far.  who  have  withstood  the 
silent  insults  of  opponents  that 
come  in  the  form  of  smashes 
(which  means  "take  that!") 

The  quarterfinals  have  been 
decided.  Owning  those  platforms 
are    Barts-Bair,     ZolHnger-Rice, 


Pumphrey-  Snow,  Havy-  Baez, 
Wampler-Knight,  Wilt-Rogers, 
Voorheis-Meharry,  and  Tuuri- 
Cliett. 

The  teams  that  seem  to  be 
going  to  put  up  a  tough  act  to 
follow  are  Barts-Bair,  Turri- 
Cliett,  and  Havy-Baez.  But  the 
pair  of  swingers  that  come  out  on 
top  this  year  must  be  only  one 
thing"the  best. 


hence  the  name  "Across  the 
States..." 

It  is  estimated  that  the  number 
of  miles  per  week  the  students 
run  but  forget  or  don't  know  to 
record  on  mileage  cards  (avail- 
able afthe  map  in  the  Student 
Center)  runs  into  the  hundreds 
That's  terrible! ,  What  happens  if 
May  4  comes  and  we  only  have 
gotten  as  far  as  Stumpwater  Sink, 
South  Dakota? 

Suggestions  include,  besides 
sending  everyone  home  with  an 
extreme  sense  of  guilt  for  our 
collective  failure,  either  continu- 
ing school  until  the  goal  is  met,  or 
impaling  CABL  on-campus  direc- 
tor Van  Boddy  with  a  Poo-Poo 
stick. 

But  I'm  sure  that  none  of  these 
drastic  measures  (particularly  the 
last)  need  to  be  met  if  everyone 
who  gets  from  point  A  to  point  B 
under  their  own  steam  will  faith- 
fully record  it  each  week. 

Then  everybody's  happy.  All 
the  students  are  happy  because 
they  are  fit  and  stunning  and  have 
cooperated  in  an  epic  venture. 
Van  Boddy  is  happy  because  he 
can  go  home,  unpunctured,  and 
sell  Poo-Poo  sticks  for  the  sum- 
mer. Even  Stumpwater  Sink, 
S.D.  is  happy!

Creationists  Sue 
Smithsonian  Institution 


WASHINGTON  (UPI)--The 
Smithsonian  Institution,  largely 
financed  by  American  taxpayers 
is  being  sued  to  portray  the  bib- 
lical account  of  the  creation  as 
well  as  the  scientific  version. 

Believers  in  the  Bible's  des- 
cription of  the  creation  asked  a

order  a  cutoff  of  federal  money 
being  used  for  a  display  about

Insurance 
Costs  Take 
Trampoline 
From  Gym 


The  rising  costs  of  insurance 
rates  have  forced  SMC  to  discon 
tinue  use  of  its$l,200trampoUne 

A  new  insurance  ruling  speci- 
fies that  the  trampoline  cannot  be 
used  after  April  1  without  the 
rates  climbing  to  three  or  four 
thousnd  dollars  for  the  trampoline 
liability  insurance  alone.  Richard 
Reiner,  business  manager,  said 
that  the  College  will  not  use  the 
trampoline  uninsured  because  of 
possible  injuries  and  big  lawsuits 
that  could  follow. 

Dr.  Delmar  Lovejoy,  professor 
of  physical  education,  said  that 
they  have  not  used  the  trampoline 
since  the  first  of  the  year.  "This 
ruling,"  said  Dr.  Lovejoy.  "ap- 
plies to  all  SDA  academies  and 
colleges.  The  academy  is  already 
attempting  to  sell  their  trampo- 
line."

aren't  going  to  give  it  away.*'

The  suit  was  filed  by  Dale 
Crowley  Jr.,  executive  director  of 
the  National  Foundation  for  Fair- 
ness in  Education,  and  the  Nat- 
ional Bible  Knowledge 
Association. 


DGreg  Vital 

Bob  Garren,  35,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  art  at  SMC,  officially 
launched  his  campaign  as  the 
Republican  candidate  for  U.S. 
Congress  in  all  U  counties  in 
Tennessee's  Third  District  last 
week. 

Garren,  accompanied  by  his 
family  and  a  group  of  supporters, 
began  the  day  in  Folk  County  at 
sunrise  and  finished  up  in  Mor- 
gan County  around  7  p.m.  Fress 
conferences  were  scheduled  in 
Benton,  Cleveland,  Chattanooga, 
Jasper,  Dunlap,  Fikeville,  Day- 
ton. Decatur.  Kingston,  Oak 
Ridge,  and  Wartburg. 

"In  traveling  to  all  11  counties 
in  one  day  to  make  our  announce- 
ment, we  hope  to  show  our  desire 
to  represent  all  the  people  of  the 
Third  District,"  said  Garren. 

In  his  announcement  Garren 
said,  "As  a  candidate  for  public 
office,  most  people  expect  me  to 
have  all  the  answers,  but  I  don't. 
So  I  am  asking  each  one  of  you  to 
help  me  seek  solutions  to  the 
problems  that  face  us  all." 

Garren  cited  four  major  areas 
that  he  feels  "we  must  let  Wash- 
ington hear  our  voices  on." 

"We  must  stop  higher  and 
higher  taxes  for  bigger  and  big- 
ger government  with  less  and  less 
efficiency.  Second,  we  must  pro- 
vided jobs  for  people  through  the 
private  sector  to  be  lasting  and  to 
stimulate  the  economy  in  a  perm- 
anment  and  productive  way. 
Third,  a  sensible  solution  to  the 
energy  problems  that  face  this 
country,  through  increased  re- 
search and  development  of  alter- 
native methods,   such  as  the 


breeder  reactor  and  solar  energy  businessman,  gives  him  an  un- 
by  both  government  and  private  derstanding  of  some  of  the  prob- 
lems facing  all  of  us.  "I  know 
what  It's  like  to  work  all  night  and 
then  go  to  college  by  day  to 
educate  myself,"  said  Garren. 
"In  making  this  decision  to  run,  1 
ask  not  only  for  support,  but  for 
your  prayers  for  both  me  and  my 
family,"  said  Garren. 

A  resident  of  Hamilton  County 
for  the  past  ten  years,  Garren  is  a 
native  of  North  Carolina  and 
graduated  from  high  school  in 
Asheville.  He  received  his  under- 
graduate degree  from  Atlantic 
Union  College.  He  also  holds  a 
master's  degree  from  Rochester 
Institute  of  Technology. 

He  is  married  to  the  former 
Ruth  Morgan  and  they  have  two 
children,  Julie.  9  and  Rob, 


enterprise,  must  be  found. 
Fourth,  we  must  have  a  strong 
American  defense  system  to 
guarantee  our  national  security 
and  maintain  international  re- 
spect for  democracy,"  said 
Garren. 

Garren  said  his  campaign  will 
take  him  to  the  people.  "I  plan 
during  the  coming  summer  and 
until  November  to  spend  every 
day  with  people,  eitber  on  the  job, 
at  the  factory  gate,  at  the  farm,  or 
in  the  street  so  as  to  feel  and 
understand  how  we  can  work  out 
solutions  to  our  common  prob- 
lems." 

Garren  feels  his  background, 
both  as  an  educator  and  one-time

have  had  a  heart  monitor."

Cress  Gleans  New  Ideas 
'^  From  AIA  Convention 


DDebra  Ann  Martin 

David  Cress.  Ken  Rogers,  Mel- 
anee  Snowden.  and  Shelley  Shan- 
ko  were  present  at  Walla  Walla 
College  for  the  annual  convention 
of  the  Adventist  Intercollegiate 
Association  (AIA). 

The  AIA  is  the  official  organiza- 
tion that  opens  and  promotes 
channels  of  communication  and 
cooperation  among  student 
governments  of  Adventist  col- 
leges and  universities  in  Nortt- 
America. 

"It  is  an  intercollegiate  idea- 
sharing  program.  You  get  the 
chance  to  share  some  of  the  suc- 
cesses you've  had  with  your  stu- 
dent government  with  the  other 
SDA  colleges,"  said  David  Cress, 
tfA  president-elect  for  1978-79. 

The  convention  opened  with  a 
letter  of  welcome  from  President 

Seniors 
Help  Finish 
Garden 


Class  Gift 

DLinda  Canti^ll 

The  senior  class  gift,  chosen 
last  week,  will  be  to  help  build  the 
rock  garden  located  between- 
Thatcher  and  the  gymnasium. 

The  rock  garden  has  a  built-in 
sprinkler  system.  When  comple- 
ted, it  will  feature  three  garden 
motifs.  The  first  is  a  Japanese 
garden,  the  second  a  Spanish 
garden,  and  the  third  a  collection 
of  shrubs  and  flowering  plants. 
The  garden  will  have  benches,  a 
gravel  walkway,  and  a  sundial. 

According  to  Rick  Stier,  senior 
class  president,  the  garden  will 
be  a  popular  place  for  pictures  to 
be  taken. 

The  cost  will  be  approximately 
$3,000.  The  senior  class  will  pay 
about  $1,000  of  that. 

Work  on  the  project  will  be 
done  by  the  grounds  department. 
The  plans  for  the  sundial  were 
drawn  by  Dr.  Henry  Kuhli 
specially  for  SMC.  The  garden  is 
expected  to  be  finished  jiext  year 


Jimmy  Carter.  An  audio-video 
hello  was  received  ft-om  Elder 
Robert  Pierson.  Dr.  N.  Qifford 
Sorenson,  president  of  Walla 
Walla,  welcomed  the  delegates 
and  challenged  each  to  "devout 
service  of  their  student  govern- 
ment and  body." 

Cress  believes  that  SMC  will 

benefit  greatly  from  its  associa- 
tion with  the  AIA  because  "it  is 
an  effective  medium  of  idea  ex- 
change and  getting  different  sug- 
gestions for  the  various  twists  and 
tangles  of  student  government." 

Some  ideas  Cress  picked  up  at 
the  convention  include:  develop- 
ing a  tight-knit  working  relation- 
ship with  SA  officers,  having  the 
SA  president  keep  in  touch  with 
the  Men's  and  Women's  clubs 
and  RA's,  and  conducting  open 
forum  meetings  where  the  stu- 
dents can  voice  their  opinions, 
and  the  SA  can  report  to  the 
students. 

"All  of  these  suggestions," 
said  Cress,  "will  lead  to  a  more 
effective  SA  and  a  satisfied  stu- 
dent body  because  there  is  a  two- 
way  channel  of  communication." 

At  the  AIA  meetiaig,  Bill  Knott 
was  elected  next  year's  ALA  stu- 
dent president.  Next  year's 
meeting  will  be  held  at  SAC  in 
Keene,  Tex. 


Oar  Town,  a  play  by 
Thornton  Wilder,  will  be 
performed  Saturday,  April 
22  at  8:30  in  the  academy 
auditorium  and  also  Sun- 
day, April  23,  at  7:30  p.m 
Tickets  are  $2  for  adults,  $1 
for  ID  holders,  and  $5  per 
family.  Tickets  will  be  sold 
at  the  door. 

Oar  Town  is  produced  by 
Dr.  Don  Dick.  Acto*rs, 
actresses,  and  stage  hands 
are  from  the  class  Play  Pro- 
duction.

Lazor  Elected  President  Of  North 
American  CABL  At  Calif.  Seminar 


DMathew  Staver 

John  Lazor  was  recently  elected 
president  of  CABL  North  Ameri- 
can Division  in  the  annual  CABL- 
MV  seminar  held  this  year  at  Pine 
Springs  Ranch  in  Mountain  Cen- 
ter, Cahf.,  April  5  through  9. 

Currently  director  of  the  CABL 
program  on  campus,  Lazor  will  be 
Division  president  beginning  next 
fall  covering  13  colleges  and  uni- 
versities across  the  United  States 
and  Canada.  His  main  responsi- 
bility will  be  to  work  with  these 
schools  in  coordinating  programs 
and  to  put  out  a  bi-montly  news- 
letter called  CABL-gram. 

CABL  leaders,   chaplins,   and 


Army  nurses  have  continually  been  in  the 
forefront  with  numerous  advances  in  medical 
care.  The  courage  and  professionalism  dem- 
onstrated by  Army  nurses  have  been  hailed 
by  thousands  of  American  fighting  men.  As 
an  Army  nurse  you  can  help  continue  this 
proud  tradition  of  professional  excellence 

Today,  the  Army  Nurse  Corps  offers  a  wide 
variety  of  nursing  experiences,  ongoing  edu- 
cational opportunities,  outstanding  benefits 
qood  pay  and  periodic  raises,  and  world-wide 
travel  opportunities. 

If  you  have  a  BSN  from  an  NLN-approved 
school  and  can  meet  the  physical  and  mental 
requirements,  you  should  find  out  just  how 
far  we  ve  come.

I  used  to  thinJt  that  the  "Afri- 
can missionary"  was  doomed  to  a 
self-inflicted  existence  of  primi- 
tive conditions,  such  as  grass 
huts,  danger  from  the  wild,  man- 
eating  beasts,  spear-yielding 
savages,  and  various  other  terrors 
and  deprivations  all  cast  together 
into  a  dense,  murky  jungle. 

This  might  still  be  true  in  a  few 
areas,  but  by  and  large,  Africa 
has  surprised  me  by  being  a 
pretty  civilized  place.  I  consider 
this  year  in  Zambia  to  be  my 
richest  educational  experience 
yet.  I  have  met  and  been  able  to 
work  with  other  young  people 
from  many  different  countries 
and  cultures,  and  I  have  had  the 
privilege  of  being  associated  with 
some  of  the  most  dedicated  mis- 
sionaries one  could  find  anywhere 
in  the  world. 

The  Riverside  Farm  Institute, 
where  I  work,  is  a  sister  institu- 
tion to  Wildwood  and  the  pro- 
gram they  run  here  is  similar  in 
many  respects  to  the  way  Wild- 
wood  and  like  self-supporting  in- 
stitutions operate.  Can  you  ima- 
gine running  a  3,000-acre  farm  in 
the  middle  of  Africa?  Riverside 
does  it,  and  very  successfully.  In

I  have  had  a  few  interesting 
encounters  with  some  of  the  wild 
life  here.  When  I  was  on  a  trip 
with  a  missionary  family  soon 
after  amving  here,  I  found  myself 
in  the  path  of  an  enraged,  charg- 
ing elephant.  It  is  just  as  well 
that  elephants  are  near-sighted 
because  I  discovered  that  they 
run  a  lot  quicker  than  I  can.  If  I

Job  Fields  Are  Greener  For  78  Grads 


o 


's^  y  There  is  good  news  for  the  class 
of  "78:  employers  are  scouting 
campuses  more  actively  than  tliey 
have  since  the  halcyon  days  of  the 
late  '60's.  Indeed.  600  employers 
polled  by  the  College  Placement 
Council  say  they  plan  to  hire  16% 
more  graduates  this  spring  than 
in  1977.  This  follows  an  18% 
increase  last  year  after  two  years 
f  f  severely  reduced  hiring. 

Sun'eys  of  the  job  market  for 
college  graduates  confirm  the 
encouraging  trend.  So  do  a  num- 
ber of  corporate  recruiters  and 
placement  officers.  For  example

says,  "1978  is  going  to  be  a

are  optimistic.  The  economy  is 
looking  up,  and  there's  a  backlog 
of  unfilled  Jobs  in  the  pipeline."

actively  seeking  graduates.  The 
food  and  beverage  industry  and 
the  petroleum,  electronics  and

ernment, a  traditional  haven  for 
liberal  arts  graduates,  expects  to 
incease  its  hiring  by  23%,  says 
the  College  Placement  Council, 

Inevitably,  some  students  will 
approach  graduation  day  with 
unemployment  their  only 
prospect.  "There  are  jobs  out 
there  but  you've  got  to  use  guer-

student.  Traditional  methods-

AJRONTIERSMAN  GOES  TO  RUSSIA 


DLynn  Neumann 

"You  mean  one  of  AmericaV 
great  scientists  is  stuck  in  the 
basement  of  Daniells  ?  Couldn't 
they  at  least  promote  him  to  the 
main  floor?"  I  wondered  as  I 
wound  my  way  downstairs  to 
meet  Dr.  Ray  Hefferlin. 

He  was  talking  to"  a  student 
when  I  knocked.  It  had  been  a 
busy  day;  more  students  than 
usual  had  come  in  to  talk.  "But 
that's  O.K,  That's  what, we're 
here  for,"  he  philosophized' as  we 
settled  into  the  scientific  blue 
and  white  of  his  office. 

I  thought  of  the  table  talk  I'd 
heard  when  I  first  came  to  SMC. 
"He's  one  of  the  top  ten  scientists 
in  the  U.S.--on  the  President's 
council!"  Those  rumors  might 
explain  why  he  was  nominated  to 
go  to  Russia  for  a  year  on  a 
scientific  exchange   program   to 


work  in  his  main  area  of  interest, 
molecular  research. 


Laser   Fusion 

Why  the  interest  in  molecular 
research?  Mainly  because  of  the 
energy  involved.  Laser  fusion,  a 
process  which  compacts  mole- 
cules of  hydrogen  to  the  point  of 
bursting,  is  the  most  promising 
source  of  energy  for  the  future. 
When   coal,    uranium,    and    our 


othe 


able 


■rgy 


sources  are  gone,  laser  fus.-.. 
could  be  the  major  source  of 
power  because  its  fuel  is  water, 
plain  and  simple. 

Of  course,  much  needs  to  be 
worked  out  before  power  pro- 
duced by  laser  fusion  becomes  a 
functional  reality.  And  that  is 
why  Dr.  Hefferlin  applied  to  the 
National  Academy  of  Science  ex- 
change program.  The  govern- 
ments of  both  countries  must  be 
satisfied  that  a  scientist  can  better 
aid  research  by  being  in  another 
country  before  any  exchanges  are 
made.  Dr.  Hefferlin  will  be  doing 
pure  research  on  lasers  for  the 
machine  which  will  compact  the 
hydrogen  molecules.  His  Russian 
counterpart  may  be  working  on 
something  totally  different,  de- 
pending on  what  American  sci- 
ence needs. 


scientists  visit  each  year  "Peo- 
ple worry  that  we'll  be  detained  in 
Siberia  or  something.  That  could 
only  happen  in  two  unlikely  ca- 
ses-war, or  if  we  got  involved 
with  the  black  market,  which 
would  be  highly  stupid." 

Part  of  Dr.  Hefferlin's  unappre- 
hensive attitude  is  probably  an 
outgrowth  of  the  two-week  vaca- 
tion he  and  his  family  took  there 
in  1976.  "If  politicians  could  get 
along  as  well  as  the  common 
people  and  scientists  do,  there 
would  be  no  wars." 


Russia 


Dr.   Hefferlin     isn't  the  first 
.merican  scientist  to  be  permit- 
inside  the  "frozen  block"  we 
call    Russia.       Several    hundred 


Moscow  Church 

At  this  time.  Dr.  Hefferlin  also 
learned  a  little  Russian  (to  com- 
pliment his  already  proficient 
French.  German,  and  English) 
and  learned  first  hand  about  some 
aspects  of  Russian  life. 

For  instance,  the  Hefferlins- 
his  wife  and  three  daughters  will 
be  going  also-look  forward  to 
attending  the  large  700-member 
Moscow  SDA  church,  with  full 
orchestra  to  provide  music  on 
Sabbath.  This  is  a  certified 
church  {law-abiding  and  open  to 
state  observers)  in  contrast  to  the 
underground  organizations  we 
usually  hear  about. 

Russia  has  about  30,000  offi- 
cially registered  SDA  members 
who  have  absolutely  no  ties  with 
the  American  church  or  the  Gen- 
eral Conference.  This  helps  avoid 
arousing  government  suspicion. 

While  in  Russia,  the  Hefferlins 
hope  to  be  immersed  in  the  ways 
of  the  Russian  people.     If  pos- 


sible, the  three  girls  will  be  en- 
rolled in  regular  Russian  schools, 
"where  they'll  be  forced  to  learn 
the  language!"  smiled  Dr.  Hef- 
ferlin. Mrs.  Hefferlin  is  looking 
forward  to  it,  too,  though  it  will 
likely  mean  hotel  life  for  a  year, 
tentatively  starting  May  16.  This 
date  could  be  postponed,  how- 
ever, because  their  early  arrival 
would  tie  down  the  Hefferlin's 
"host"  (a  white  collar  person  who 
is  responsible  for  them  for. the 
summer). 

Diatomic  Pies 

,  Just  how  did  Dr.  Hefferlin  get 
into  molecular  research  anyway? 
Strangely  enough,  it  was  through 
a  student's  interest  back  in  1972. 
By  1977  he  wanted  to  order  and 
arrange  diatomic  molecules  like 
"pie  recipes,"  (all  the  cream  pies 
in  one  section,  etc.l  and  the  result 
is  his  new  periodic  table  and 
model  of  diatomic  molecules. 

Now  he's  back  to  his  passion  of 
actually  "cooking  the  pies,"  that 
is.  after  arranging  a  neat  recipe 
index,  applying  this  knowledge. 

President's 
Council? 

Though  the  professor  seems  in 
no  hurry,  1  note  how  much  of  his 
time  has  been  spent  answering  all 
my  questions  about  Rusia,  lasers, 
and  his  children.  One  last  ques- 
tion. I'm  still  dying  to  know, 
"Are  you  on  the  President's 
council,  one  of  America's  top  ten 
scientists?" 


He  smiled  and  averted  his  eyes

EDITORIAL 


In  the  bade  room  of  Hie  Sonthem  Accent  office  we  have  installed 
the  Accent  window  of  fame.  We're  immortalized  on  the  black  vinyl 
paper  that  shuts  out  the  light  from  our  computer  typesetter.  In  white 
correction  fluid  we've  inscribed  our  signatures  for  postenty.  Even 
after  we  leave,  our  successors  will  always  remember. 

And  someday,  one  of  us  will  be  famous  and  the  administration  will 
cordon  off  the  area  and  charge  students  a  dollar  to  walk  by  and  see 
our  scribbled  edifice.  A  snack  stand  will  probably  spnng  up  (since 
college  kids  like  to  eat  while  they  stand  in  long  lines)  to  serve  the 
clientel.  Maybe  one  of  us  will  become  the  editor  of  the  New  Yorii 
Times,  (that'd  be  good  for  P.R.)  and  then  the  whole  office  would 
become  a  museum  with  all  sorts  of  memorabilia  on  the  layout  tables 
and  our  edifice  the  center  attraction. 

Could  be  that  someday  this  college  might  be  buried  beneath  tons 
of  earth  and  sand,  and  someone  might  happen  upon  the  ruins  while 
digging  a  backyard  barbeque  and  find  our  edifice.  It  would 
probably  be  heralded  as  a  great  discovery  and  tour  the  country  like 
King  Tut's  gold  mask.   (That'd  be  good  for  P.R.,  too.) 

But  then,  it  might  be  rubbed  off  next  year  because  someone 
doesn't  like  Mark  Ford's  cartoon  bird  or  M.J.  Bryant's  sprawling 
scribble. 

Of  course,  lots  of  things  could  happen  and  more  than  likely  a  lot  of 
things  will,  but  the  point  is  we've  made  a  contribution.  After  eight 
months  of  work  and  broken  fingernails,  we've  finished.  We  have  left 
a  legacy  of  crumpled  Accents  and  window  signatures.  Who  knows? 
A  lot  of  people  dig  barbeques  .  .  . 

Thanks  To  The  SA 

Dear  Editor: 

I  want  to  take  this  opportunity 
to  publicly  thank  Mr.  Ken  Rogers 
and  Miss  Jo  Lynn  Hawthorne  for 
their  dedicated  efforts  in  serving 
our  Student  Association  this  year. 
I  know  that  at  times  they  must 
wonder  if  any  of  their  hours  of 
hard  work  ever  prove  to  be  bene- 
ficial. 

1,  for  one.  appreciate  the  lead- 
ership that  Ken  and  Jo  Lynn  have 
given  to  our  SA.  A  few  of  the 
accomplishments  under  their 
guidance  are  improved  tennis 
court  lighting  on  four  courts,  a 
Nicaragua  mission  appropriation, 
a  morning  worship  option  pro- 
gram for  the  students,  and  finan- 
cial assistance  relief  for  Toccoa 
Falls  Bible  College  which  was 
destroyed  by  a  devastating  flood.

Dear  Editdr; 

I  would  like  to  take  this  public 
opportunity  to  express  my  sincere 
appreciation  to  both  the  faculty 
and  students  of  Southern  Mis- 
sionary College  for  the  warm 
Christian  reception  given  me 
during  my  recent  visit.  I  came 
away  with  a  great  regard  for  all  at 
the  college. 

Also  1  received  a  distinct  im- 
pression that  there  was  a  spirit  of 
openness  to  the  truth  and  a  wil- 
lingness to  follow  the  truth 
wherever  it  would  lead.  In  parti- 
cular Lwish  to  thank  your  presi- 
dent, Dr.  Frank  Knittel,  for  treat- 
ing me  as  a  Christian  brother  and 
giving  me  the  obvious  indication 
that  he  is  a  servant  of  the  truth.

Adventist  Church  is  standing  in  a

Dear  Editor: 

I've  really  enjoyed  viewing  the 
two  shiny  "Vettes  on  display  near 
the  center  of  campus  this  sem- 
ester. I  only  hope  they're  still 
sitting  there  when  the  "Praying 
Hands  arrive.  I  think  they  would 
make  a  rather  poignant  three-

iscent of  what  "Adventist  aes-

to  admit. 


tunity),  and  I  would  like  to  en- 
courage every  student  to  search 
for  the  truths  of  the  gospel  and  to 
stand  fast  on  those  truths,  come 
what  may. 

I  am  distressed  that,  since 
leaving  Southern  Missionary  Col- 
lege, I  have  been  banned  from  all 
SDA  churches  and  institutions. 
This  puzzles  me  greatly  and 
makes  me  somewhat  fearful  of 
the  rising  hierarchicalism  that  is 
increasingly  evident  in  the  SDA 
Church.     From  my  basic  know- 


ledge of  Seventh-day  Adventism 
this  appears  to  me  to  be  quite 
ahen  to  the  tiue  spirit  of  your 
church  and  ultimately  destruc- 
tive. 1  cannot  but  feel  that  the 
increasing  loss  of  Christian  free- 
dom is  a  direct  result  of  the 
failure  to  grasp  what  Mrs.  White 
called  the  third  angels'  message 
in  verity. 

Once  again,  thank  you  for  your 
kind  Christian  hospitality. 

With  ^est  Christian  Regards,

Don't  Marry 
SMC  Males 


Dear  Editor: 

I  am  concerned  over  some  of 
the  inconsistencies  at  SMC.  In- 
consistencies such  as  claiming 
that  movies  and  rock  music  are 
bad,  but  showing  movies  in  the 
SMC  gym  and  allowing  orches- 
trated pieces  composed  and 
played  by  rock  groups  to  be  aired 
over  WSMC. 

What  I  am  mainly  concerned 
about  now,  though,  is  an  ad  I  saw 
in  the  April  13  issue  of  the  Accent 
concerning  "dealing  in  with  the 
Accent  when  the  chips  are  down" 
and  picturing  cards  and  poker 
chips. 

Every  student  who  has  ever 
attended  an  SDA  school,  includ- 
ing SMC,  has  been  told  that  cards 
are  not  allowed,  and  that  "cards 
are  a  tool  of  the  devil. ' '  And  they 


Dear  Editor: 


Spiritualists  have  told  me  (and 
others  I  am  sure),  what  the  dif- 
ferent cards  mean,  and  how  they 
are  used  by  the  devil  and  spirit- 
ualists— from  the  joker  right  on 
down  to  the  ace  of  spades.  Our 
church  knows  that  and  so  do  most 
of  its  members.  Gambling  is  said 
to  be  a  game  of  the  devil;  again.  1 
think  most  of  us  would  agree. 

Also.  Sister  White  counsels 
against  having  anything  to  do 
with  cards  or  gambling.  Why 
then;  did  The  Southern  Accent, 
the  "Voice  of  the  Southern  Mis- 
sionary College  Student,"  include 
an  ad  dealing  very  clearly  with 
cards  and  gambling?  Wrong  is 
wrong.  Or  does  SMC  make  it 
right? 

Sincerely, 
Dawn  L.  Steve 


the 


given  about  attending  the  thea- 
ter-1  was  disappointed  at  the  per- 
vading flippant  attitude  taken  by 
the  majority  of  the  men.  They 
showed  a  lack  of  sound  reasoning 
and  insight.  Their  logic  was 
pitiful  and  full  of  inconsistencies. 
Their  ability  to  handle  the  spiri- 
tual aspect  of  their  subject  was 
not  worthy  of  men. 

Ladies,  if  the  tone  of  the  major- 
ity of  the  men  on  campus  was 
represented  by  these  comments- 
lack  of  mental  and  spiritual 
powers-I  would  advise  that  you 
go  to  another  campus  or  town  to 
find  a  husband. 

The  reason  my  criticism  is  so 
straight  is  because  I  know  the 
men  are  capable  of  much  better 
reasoning.  1  am  afraid  that  we 
youth  of  the  SDA  churfch  are 
puppets  of  the  circular  reasoning 
of  the  adults.  It's  time  we  all  took 
a  serious  look  at  television  and 
movies. 

Every  show  or  movie  has  a 
philosophy  of  how  to  live.  Does 
the  philosophy  agree  with  the 
sermon  on  the  mount?  Is  it 
Christian  to  cheer  at  the  "bad 
guys"  being  killed.  (SMC-Tora. 
Tora?)  And  in  the  future,  when 
they  take  you  to  throw  you  into 
prison,  will  your  mind  be  over- 
flowing with  scenes  of  human 
depravity  or  with  promises  of 
God?

Union  Man  Heredia  Vs.  EGW 


Dear  Editor; 

I  am  writing  regarditlg  the  arti- 
cle about  Rudy  Heredia,  a  lawyer 
for  the  Teamsters  Union,  in  the 
April  6  issue  of  The  Soothem 
Accent. 

As  a  people,  it  seems  to  me  that 
we  are  moving  into  the  time  Ellen 
White  prophesied  when  she  wrote 
"The  very  last  deception  of  Satan 
will  be  to  make  of  none  effect  the 
testimony  of  the  Spirit  of  God.... 
Satan  will  work  ingeniously,  in 
different  ways  and  through  dif- 
ferent agencies,  to  unsettle  the 
confidence  of  God's  remnant  pe- 
ople in  the  true  testimony." 
(Letter  12,  1890,  reprinted  in  1 
SM,  48) 

Since  when  does  an  SDA  have 
the  right  to  say  that  certain  of 
Ellen  White's  writings  do  not 
pertain  to  us  today,  when  they 
were  written  for  us  today,  as  well 
as  for  the  people  who  were  alive 
when  they  were  written? 

Satan  is  using  this  as  a  means 
of  negating  the  testimonies  of  the 
Spirit  of  God.'  How  can  Mr. 
Heredia  tell  us  that  it  is  a  "  matter 
of  conscience"  whether  or  not  we 
join  a  trade  union,  when  Ellen 
White  tells  us  explicitly  to  "Have 
nothing  to  do  with  them,"  and 
"to  keep  out  of  them,"  and  away 
from  them. 
We  are  also  told  that  they  are 


one  of  the  signs  of  the  last  days, 
and  they  are  a  snare  (C.L.10.,11.) 
Yes,  a  snare. 

Heredia  stressed  that  he  has 
helped  people  with  Sabbath  prob- 
lems to  keep  their  jobs,  though  it 
involved  joining  a  union.  1  ask, 
why  is  he  so  conscientious  about 
Sabbath-keeping  if  one  is  going  to 
go  against  counsels  just  as  im- 
portant by  joining  a  union?  H  " 
person  is  willing  to  join  a  lab" 
union  after  reading  the  warnings 
in  the  book  Coantry  Uving  and  in 
the  Testimonies,  1  wonder  why  H 
should  bother  his  conscience  » 
work  on  the  Sabbath.  One  is 
disregarding  the  cousels  of  Ood 
just  as  much  as  the  other. 

"We   are    not   to   unite   wi» 
secret  societies  or  trade  u™""?^^ 
(7T84.)  I  think  it  is  due  time  tM 
we  as  a  people  take  a  stand  f« 
truth,  and  not  be  afraid  to  Stan 
up  for  the  testimonies  of  Ooo  ' 
be  heard.    Let's  live  according  » 
the  truth  we  have,  and  not  al  »w 
men,  regardless  of  who  they  are; 
to  bend  our  thinking  in  a  way 
will  cause  us  to  ignore  t^""  .^

Layman  Wants  To  Shake  Leaders 


Dear  Editor: 

However  the  debate  on  G.  Pax- 
tori's  book  The  Shaking  of  Ad- 
ventlsm  develops,  one  point  is 
clear.  This  point  can  be  seen  in 
the  confusion  on  campus  and  in 
the  community.  The  church  to  a 
large  extent  has  failed  the  lay- 
men. The  laymen  are  confused 
on  the  issue  of  Christ  our  Right- 
eousness. 

I  have  been  a  member  of  this 
church  just  a  short  four  years,  yet 
I  have  heard  over  five  different 
viewpoints  on  Christ  our  Right- 
eousness. I  have  heard  every- 
thing from  the  Lord  will  save  me 
in  spite  of  myself,  an  almost 
Baptist  view  of  once  saved  always 
saved,  to  the  other  extreme  of 
righteousness  by  my  works,  an 
extreme  legalistic  viewpoint. 

Our  pastors  stand  up  and 
preach  the  law,  the  Sabbath,  and 
the  tithe  until  they  are  as  dry  as 
the  hills  of  Gilboa.  But  where  is 
our  message  of  Christ  our  Right- 
eousness? Where  is  the  spring  of 
life  in  our  message? 

Some  will  say  read  and  study 
on  your  own — find  out  for  your- 
self.   I  am  trying,  but  have  you 


tried  to  read  Paul  lately?  He  is 
not  the  most  easily  understood 
writer.  Even  Peter  said  that 
Paul's  writings  are  hard  to  under- 
stand. 

This  is  why  the  layman  looks  to 
the  trained  worker,  the  studier  of 
Greek,  the  theologian  to  help  us 
over  the  hard  spots  of  Paul's 
writing— the  central  pillars  of 
Christ  our  Righteousness. 

This  is  an  appeal  to  our  church 
leaders  and  teachers.  Stop  your 
fighting  over  semantics  and  help 


the  layman  understand  the  true 
meaning  of  righteousness  before 
we  make  another  1888  blunder  in 
this  church.  This  time  God  may 
have  to  take  harsher  means  to  get 
our  eyes  centered  on  Christ.  Help 
us.  the  laymen,  to  understand  the 
central  theme  of  our  salvation. 

The  fury  and  the  passion  over 
one  book  has  shown  one  thing. 
The  church  has  failed  the  laymen 
in  understanding  Christ  our 
Righteousness.

Music,  Heavenly  Music 


Dear  Editor: 

I've  meant  to  write  this  letter 
for  three  years.  Now  I've  finally 
gotten  to  it.  I've  been  greatly 
blessed  by  the  music  which  a- 
bounds  here  on  our  campus. 

The  music  department  is  often 
overlooked  and  Td  like  to  take 
this  opportunity  to  give  thanks  to 
the  students  who  have  partici- 
pated and  to  the  various  instruc- 


tors of  the  department  (Mic  Thur- 
ber,  tool)  for  their  dedication  in 
developing  and  utilizing  their 
God-given  talents. 

SMC  has  been  a  tase  of  heaven 
for  me  in  this  respect.  So  to  Dr. 
Runyan,  Dr.  Robertson,  Dr.  Sage, 
Dr.  Ashton,  Mr.  Gilbert,  Dr.  Mc- 
Clarty,  Mrs.  Glass,  and  Mrs.  Ac- 
kennan,  a  Big  Thank  Yoal

The  College  With  A  Built-in  Pocketbook 


DCecil  Coffey 

Eighteen  miles  east  of  Chatta- 
nooga, Tenn.,  stands  a  small  lib- 
eral-arts school  that  has  violated 
almost  every  rule  by  which  a 
college  ought  to  operate.  First 
off.  it  will  accept  a  worthy  student 
regardless  of  his  ability  to  pay. 
Even  more  startling,  it  will  fre- 
quently reverse  the  procedure 
and  pay  the  studenti  What's 
more,  it  makes  money  doing  so. 

Through  a  remarkable  work- 
study  plan.  Southern  Missionary 
College  has  lifted  itself  from 
penury  into  a  multimillion-dollar 
institution  that  may  prove  a  valu- 
able example  to  scores  of  private 
colleges  struggling  to  survive. 

Here  is  how  it  works;  In  the 
past  dozen  years  the  college  has 
developed  its  own  businesses  and 
industries  which  now  turn  out 
more  than  two  million  dollars' 
worth  of  top-grade  student- 
manufactured  goods  annually, 
with  student  earnings  near 
$400,000.  The  largest  unit  in 
College  Industries,  Inc.,  a  tax- 
paying  corporation,  is  a  furniture 


ssippi. 

As    the    corporation's    adver- 
tising points  out.  everything  is 


"A  broom  factory 
produces  $4000,000 
worth  of  brooms  and 
mops  a  year." 


manufactured  by  "students  with 
a  purpose."  The  broom  factory, 
for  example,  tells  its  customers: 
"Ours  are  not  typical  broomshop 
hands.  They  are  future  physi- 
cians, dentists,  teachers,  nurses, 
engineers  and  businessmen  who 
are  ambitious  enough  to  make 
brooms  to  defray  the  cost  of  their 
education.'* 

When  the  program  was  first 
proposed,  distributors  and  whole- 


to$1280.  Allowing  $180  for  room 
and  board  during  the  summer,  he 
will  have  a  cash  surplus  of  $100  — 
plus  a  year  of  college  paid  for. 
Some,  of  course,  do  even  better. 

No  student  is  required  to  work, 
but  more  than  80  percent  earn  at 
least  one  fourth  of  their  expenses 
while  25  percent  work  all  their 
way.  The  only  non-students  regu- 
larly employed  by  the  industries 
are  supervisors  and  specialists  in 
technical  positions.  By  limiting 
enrollment  to  about  600  the  col- 
lege can  hire  all  students  asking 
for  work. 

The  two  men  responsible  for 
Southern  Missionary's  successful 
program  are  its  president,  Ken- 
neth A.  Wright,  and  its  manager, 
Charles  Fleming,  Jr.  When 
Wright,  a  tall,  bespectacled  man, 
came  there  in  1943,  he  found  a 
small  junior  college  facing 
demise.  The  school  had  only  121 
students,  two  or  three  limping 
industries  and  only  four  academic 
buildings,  which  were  badly  in 


direct  potential  students  to  the 
college,  and  to  GIs  who  might 
want  to  take  advantage  of  the  new 
work-study  plan  after  the  war. 
Students  already  enrolled  were 
encouraged  to  tell  their  friends 
about     the     opportunities     at 


"The  school  is  today 
virtually  untouched 
by  financial  plight." 


Southern  Missionary.  By  mid- 
term of  1946-47  the  enrollment 
was  approaching  500,  and  30  new 
members  had  been  added  to  the 
staff.  On  the  industrial  side, 
increased  production  and  postwar 
demand  set  an  unprecedented 
business  volume  for  the  college. 
This  volume  has  grown  steadily 
ever  since,  with  the  result  that  the 


school  is  today  virtually  un- 
touched by  the  financial  plight 
facing  so  many  other  small  pri- 
vate colleges.  Southern  Mission- 
ary could  not,  in  fact,  run  without 
its  industries,  for  it  has  no  en- 
dowment and  its  only  regular 
outside  help  is  an  annual  $60,000 
grant  from  the  Seventh-Day  Ad- 
ventist  Church,  which  founded 
the  school  in  1893. 


In  recent  years  many  educators 
have  visited  the  college  to  study 
its  methods  firsthand.  Typical  of 
the  enthusiastic  endorsement 
these  visitors  frequently  give  is 
that  of  Dr.  Frank  E.  Spaulding, 
former  superintendent  of  schools 
in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  professor 
emeritus  of  education,  Yale  Uni- 
versity. "The  practical  possibili- 
ties of  Southern-  Missionary's 
work-study  plan  are  almost  unli- 
mited," he  said  recently.  "I  have 
never  seen  a  program  of  the  kind 
that  approaches  it." 


More  and  more  educators  arc  casting  an  appraising  eye  toward  this 
unorthodox  Southern  college 


plant  manufacturing  chests  and 
desks.  It  employs  150  students 
and  does  an  annual  gross  busi- 
ness of  $600,000.  A  broom  fac- 
tory, one  of  the  largest  in  the 
Southeast,  employs  75  to  100  stu- 
dents, produces  5400.000  worth 
of  brooms  and  mops  a  year.  A 
printing  plant  and  a  laundry  — 
the  latter  servicing  local  hotels 
and  motels  —  each  gross  more 
than  $100,000  annually.  The  col- 
lege dairy  and  creamery  supply 


"SMC  could  not 
run  /;  hout  its 
industries." 

Chattanooga  supermarkets  as 
well  as  the  college  community. 

Newest  of  the  industries,  a 
cabinet  shop  which  specializes  in 
church  and  laboratory  furniture, 
has  already  built  equipment  for 
science  buildings  at  two  other 
schools.  In  addition,  College  In- 
dustries includes  a  department 
store,  an  automobile  service  cen- 
ter and  a  score  of  smaller  busi- 
nesses. All  products  and  services 
are  sold  in  the  competitive  mar- 
ket, with  Southern  Missionary 
salesmen  covering  major  outlets 
in  every  state  east  of  the  Missi- 


salers  were  skeptical.  "You  can't 
manufacture  first-class  goods 
with  student  labor,."  they  said. 
"And  even  if  you  can,  you  won't 
be  able  to  produce  enough  to  pay 
for  your  trouble  —  not  with 
classes  breaking  into  your  pro- 
duction schedule." 

But  Southern  Missionary  has 
shown  what  student  labor  can  do. 
Borrowing  ideas  from  industry, 
the  college  streamlined  its  oper- 
ations for  efficiency  and  quality. 
Before  long,  buyers  were  knock- 
ing at  the  college  gates  in  such 
numbers  that,  during  one  period, 
50  non-student  workers  had  to  be 
employed  to  help  fill  the  orders. 
In  three  years  gross  business 
increased  by  more  than  one  mil- 
lion dollars. 

In  contrast  with  other  self-help 
colleges,  which  usually  pay  stu- 
dent workers  not  more  than  70 
cents  an  hour.  Southern  Mission- 
ary pays  up  to  $2.50  an  hour  and 
still  shows  a  profit.  Most  stu- 
dents attend  classes  in  the  morn- 
ings, work  in  the  afternoon. 
Those  registered  for  a  full  course 
load  are  permitted  to  work  up  to 
20  hours  a  week.  Thus,  at  $1  an 
hour,  a  stu4pnt  can  earn  $720  of 
his  yearly  expenses  (approxi- 
mately $1000)  in  the  school  year. 
And  by  working  during  the  sum- 
mer, he  can  increase  his  earnings 


need  of  repair.    Moreover,  there 
was  no  money  for  expansion. 

Wright  had  worked  his  way 
through  Atlantic  Union  College  in 
South  Lancaster,  Mass..  and  later 
at  Cornell  University  had  done 
research  on  a  project  to  determine 
how  a  school  could  be  entirely 
self-supporting.  Now  he  saw  an 
opportunity  to  put  theory  into 
practice.  To  help  him,  he  found 
Charles  Fleming,  Jr.,  not  long  out 
of  Northwestern  University's 
graduate  school  of  business  ad- 
ministration, who  also  was  con- 
vinced that  better  opportunities 
should  be  available  to  students 
willing  to  work  for  an  education. 
Realizing  the  need  for  improve- 
ments, the  college's  trustees  gave 
Wright  and  Fleming  the  green 
light  to  experiment  in  one  or  two 
industries.  Student  response  was 
enthusiastic,  and  when  sales  and 
orders  mounted,  even  the  hesi- 
tant board  members  were  con- 
vinced. 

"SMC  pays  up  to 
$2.50  an  hour  and  still 
shows  a  profit." 

Wright  and  Fleming  then  ex- 
plained their  plan  to  educators 
and  communitv  leaders  who  could

The  industry  picture  has  changed  drastically  since 
1956  when  the  above  article  was  published.  SMC  still 
had  12  industries  only  6  to  7  years  ago. 
,  Now  there  are  only  4  left:  the  VM  Market,  the  VM 
Bakery,  the  Mercantile/Campus  Shop,  and  the  College 
Press. 

These  remaining  industries  are  not  losing  the 
College  any  money,  said  Richard  Reiner,  business 
manager.  In  fact,  he  said,  the  operating  gain  for  this 
current  year  will  offset  the  College  operating  loss. 

But  why  has  SMC  sold  so  many  student  labor- 
providing  industries?  The  investment  money  spent  to 
keep  them  running  is  too  high,  said  Reiner.  And  it's 
difficult  to  find  capable  managers  to  work  under  the 
denominational  wage,  he  said. 

Will  we  lose  these  last  industries,  too?

3 The  Flower  Lady'  Retires 
From  President Knitt el's  Office 


"ZMnTs  Elizabeth  Elam 

Over  the  course  of  the  last  25 
years  six  men  have  filled  the 
president's  chair  at  SMC.   During 


that 


occupied  the  office  next  to  theirs. 

That  woman  is  Mrs.  Jane 
Brown.  The  job  as  secretar\'  to 
the  president  was  her  first  on  a 
full-time  basis.  It  is  also  to  be  her 
last,  for  she  plans  to  retire  Sept. 
1. 

One  alumnus  was  heard  to  say, 
■ '  Presidents  come  and  go,  and  the 
College  keeps  right  on  running; 
but  when  Jane  goes,  it  will  come 
apart  brick  by  brick." 

It  is  typical  of  Mrs.  Brown  that 
she  has  only  good  to  say  of  all  her 
bosses.  "There  is  not  one  I 
haven't  appreciated  working 
for."  she  said.  Each  had  a 
different  approach  to  the  presi- 
dency and  she  admired  them  for 
their  unique  contributions  to 
SMC. 

She  remembers  President  A. 
Wright's  unusual  organizational 
ability,  and  was  thankful  for  the 
good  training  she  received  from 
him.  All  letters  were  taken  down 
in  shorthand  then,  and  she  tells 
how  her  tears  smudged  her  notes 
as  he  dictated  his  letter  of  resig- 
nation for  health  reasons. 

Mrs.  Brown  especially  admired 
President  Walters  for  his  unusual 
command  of  the  English  lang- 
uage. Dr.  Rees  for  his  special 
fellowship  with  the  students 
through  sports,  and  Dr.  Cassell 
for  the  tremendous  burden  he  so 
valiantly  carried  as  both  acting 
president  and  academic  dean 
when  Dr.  Rees  was  taken  sud- 
denly ill.  She  was  impressed  by 
Dr.  Schneider's  tremendous  con- 
cern for  the  spiritual  health  of  the 
students  and  faculty.  She  also 
mentioned  his  unwillingness  to 
allow  her  lo  take  the  blame  for  her 
own  mistakes,  always  insisting 
that  he  was  at  fault  if  something

she  hardly  knows  where  to  begin 
in  describing  her  admiration  for 
this  dynamic  nan  who  carries  the 
heavy  responsibility  of  adminis- 
tering an  organization  which  is 
growing  increasingly  complex. 
"It  doesn't  matter  how  busy  he 
is."  she  said.  "He  always  has 
time  to  lend  people  a  sympathetic 
ear,  especially  the  underdog." 
Mrs.    Brown's   activities    have 

secretarial  duties.  With  a  beauti- 
ful yard  and  one  room  of  her 
house  devoted  entirely  to  decora- 
tive plants  and  flowers,  she  has 
often  quietly  provided  outstand- 
ing floral  arrangements  for  the 
lobby  and  offices  of  the  adminis- 
tration building.  She  has  also 
been  one  of  the  key  behind-the- 
scenes  ladies  who  have  planned 
alumni  suppers  and  other  func- 
tions, often  providing  the  flowers 
for  these  events.  One  student 
was  heard  to  remark,  "When  I 
think  of  Mrs.  Brown,  I  think  of 
flowers." 

Her  retirement   plans   reflect 


her  lifelong  interest  in  nature  and 
religion.  She  will  continue  to 
develop  her  knowledge  of  wild 
flowers  and  house  plants  and  will 
also  keep  up  with  her  hobbies  of 
birding.  camping,  and  walking. 
Mrs.  Brown  is  looking  forward  to 
having  more  time  with  her  grand- 
daughter Mehssa,  who  with  her 
daughter  Sara  is  making  her 
home  with  her. 

It  is  also  her  desire  to  start 
giving  Bible  studies  and  she 
wants  to  enroll  for  college  Bible 
courses.  She  also  wouldn't  mind 
taking  the  "powder  putf"  auto 
mechanics  class. 

It  is  apparent  that  Jane  Brown 
plans  to  enjoy  her  well-deserved 
retirement,  but  she  will  be  greatly 
missed  at  the  president's  office. 
Said  Dr.  Knittel.  "The  fact  that 
she  has  survived  with  honors  sev- 
eral presidents  at  SMC  testifies 
not  only  to  her  durability  but  also 
to  her  effectiveness  as  a  presi- 
dent's chief  assistant  in  all  his 
responsibilities."
