Basic Grants to be Cut

According to Laurel WeJls,
Director of Student Finance of
SMC, those obtaining Basic
Educational Opportunity
Grants (BEOG) will receive.
$50 less than expected be-
cause of President Carter's
attempts towards a balanced
budget. If theieligilibility report
states a grant ot $1,800,
$1,750 will be what is actually
sent.

Students who applied for
and were awarded grants last
year, may not have been
eligible this year because of
the cutback.

There will be no retroactive
adjustment this year except if
parental contribution is in the
negative balance.

Should financial funds still
be needed, apply at a local
bank for a guaranteed student
loan. There is no interest
charged while in school and

during the first nine months
after graduation, following
that period of time seven per
cent is charged. A minimum
of $30 a month is to be paid in
a time allotment of 10 years.

The same acceptance for-
mula is used on every student.
The computer responsible for
the decisions does not take
into consideration special cir-
cumstances, such as unex-
pected medical costs, unem-
ployment, etc. If, however,
the parents are unemployed,
or have just gotten separated,
divorced or recently died, a
special Basic Grant Supple-
mental Form can be filled out
in order to acquire funds to
attend school.

BEOG is set up so that each
year there will be a gradual
increase of funds given out.
Wells suggests that if a stu-
dent was refused funding this
year, he should still apply next
year since money will be more
readily available.

Reaccreditation Process
Begins This FaU at SMC

Frank Roman

Southern Missionary Col-
lege is to undergo another
accreditation process this fall
in order to establish its credit
standing among other-
colleges in the United States.

The Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools partakes
of the project every decade,
visiting various colleges and
.reviewing their self-study re-
ports.

A self-study report includes
an evaluation of the past ten
years of the school. These
reports clearly list the objec-
Eives and goals the college
wishes to achieve.

The school then assigns ten
committees to the self-study
report. These committees are
made up of faculty members,
board members, and special
students selected I by the
school. Dr. William Wohlers
is heading up the committees.

There are various areas that
are covered by this self-study
report. Attention is closely
paid'to the academic program
of the school, and the avail-
ability of classes in the
students' major field of study.

self-study plan. Other areas
include: review of the or-
ganization of the adminis-
trative branch, student affairs,
and other related areas that
comprise a collegiate system.
The process for the accredit-
ation is simple. The school is
given two years to prepare the
self-study reports for the re-
view committee. During this
period, the committees are
involved in the re-evaluation
of the standards that are set
up by the Association of
Schools and Colleges.

After the two year period is
complete, the S.A.C.S. com-
mittee arrives at the school
and reviews the reports of
each section which have been
compiled by the chairman.

These committees of
teachers, having already read
the reports, proceed to inspect
the deficient areas mentioned.

They also emphasize the
positive aspects of the school.

Then the S.A.C.S. com-
mittee writes a report of the
school and decides whether to
recommend it for re-accred-
itation. They present the
report to the S.A.C.S. where
the final decision is made.

The Southern Missionary
College Symphony Orchestra,
under the direction of Orlo
Gilbert, has been given ap-
proval to begin raising funds
for an Austral-Asian tour slat-
ed for the spring of 1981.
Arrangements have already
been made to visit Sydney,
Melbourne, Avondale Advent-
ist College, Fiji, and New
Zealand.

With 75 members in the
group this year, it is the
largest orchestra ever at SMC.

It will be performing, during

the year, with such artists as According to Gilbert, it was

Hale and Wilder presenting the first instrumental group of

the Messiah, and Bassist Gary that size in the SDA denomi-

Karr, a world famous record- nation to travel to and around

ing artist. the Far East.

The group will also have two
concerts in the Tivoli Theatre
to help raise money for the
Australian tour.

The orchestra has already
undertaken another overseas
tour when they traveled to the
Orient in the summer of 1979,
covering nearly 40,000 miles.

Because of the excellent
response to the tour, and the
favorable impression the or-
chestra was able to make for
the SDA church, the decision
was made to undertake anoth-
er trip. This Australasian
tour will make the orchestra
the first group of its size to
visit the Down Under.

Schlisner Named New Dean of Students

Tricia Smith

Everett Schlisner, dean of
men at Southern Missionary
College has accepted the posi-
tion of* Dean of Students,
replacing Dr. Melvin Camp-
bell. The decision was made
later in the summer and Dr.
Frank Knittel, president of
S.M.C.. has requested that
Schlisner also continue his
duties as head dean of men.

"One of our major goals for
this office is that we remain
student oriented" stated Sch-
lisner, "Our students needs
must be met with the best
programs possible. This year,
that is our main res-
ponsibility."

Schlis

r also stated that he

will be available to students
for discussions in social areas
and any other of their needs.
He is also planning to be
available in the lobbies of
Talge and Thatcher Halls on
alternating Wednesday nights
from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Ted Evans, dean of men,
has accepted many of the
major duties from Schlisner
and one of his new assistants
is Ron Qualley, former dean of
men at Sunnydale Academy.
Qualley has also worked as a
dean at Walla Walla College
and Forest Lake Academy.

Dr. Melvin Campbell has

EDTORTAL

Starting over again is not one of my favorite things
to do. In fact, it rates right down there with shaving
my legs. But, like shaving, it has to be done.

Starting over is uncomfortable, as is shaving,
you've got to adjust so as not to cut yourself to
shreds. You've gotta adjust to new places and
experiences when you start over.

Don't shave too fast or you'll wind up with razor
bum and we all know how comfortable that feels.
Start over slowly, plan and organize. It's all new,
.make sure you slaken your speed to do it right the
first time. If you shave fast, you may miss a spot, or
not do as good a job and those horrible nubs will
appear and that would never do.

Allow yourself time to start over and shave your
limbs; you'll end up with a better, easier time and
silky, smooth-shaven legs.

For the Record.

Hjw do you fed about the
large nunija- cf studoits
entiQlledatSiyCthisM?

Craig Boddy. sophomore, journalism and broad-
casting. Douglasville, GA.: Initally, it's something
of a pain for all concerned, but it does provide for a
wide diversity of backgrounds and personalities, and
that's good for any campus.

Felicia Wellborn, senior, office administration.
Los Angeles, CA: I think it is great that so many
students can be exposed to a Christian education.
Our school family is growing; the more the better.

Fred Land. Junior, communications/religions.
Atlanta. GA: I tan see the point of not turning
anyone away, but consideration should be taken for
the problems of accepting more students than we are
able to handle. Of course, with the extra money that
will be coming in I'm sure steps will be taken to
expand our facilities to handle the crowd. After all,
who enjoys waiting in lines 15 minutes longer than
we used to, and who enjoys having two or more
roommates when facilities only efficiently handle
two in a room?

Steve Green, senior, chemistry, San Diego, CA:
Well the east side of the new wing doesn't seem to
mind. Everyone seems to keep an eye on that
window by Dean Evan's apartment with the rag dolls
in it. ^

Soger Burke. Junior, theo. Purvis. MS: I think it is
fantastic. I realize, however, that some of the dorms
are packed tight especially the girl's dorm, but I
think we can remedy that by building an annex onto
the annex, or at least the school could order some
tents.

Sylvia Sides, freshman, office administration. -
Pensacola. FL: I think it's great. Being a freshman
It s a new and different experience. The dorms are a
little crowded, but it's fun meeting new people and
being here.

Tracy Harris, sophomore, psychology. Calhoun.
GA: I understand that some of the students had a
difficult, if not impossible, time trying to get into the
classes they needed. Hopefully if they accept this
many students again, more classes will be opened or

EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY

OF

JOHN STUDENT

Sunday, August 24 Dear
Diary; Arrived today at
Southern Missionary College
for the first time. Was told I
would be staying in Jones
Hall. After searching for an
hour through the men's res-
idence hall trying to discover
exactly which "hall" was
Jones Hall, someone finally
told me that it was another
building. Well, I found it.
Before signing off tonight, I
would like to make a res-
olution at the beginning of the
semester. I resolve to spend
time with the Lord each day-a
few minutes in prayer and
Bible study. I have been
yearning for a new start in my
Christian experience. Until
next time.

Thursday, August 28 Dear
Diary: School is progressing
well so far, even though I am
still trying to become ac-
customed to the schedule.
Today I went to Hackman Hall
at 8 a.m. for Foundations of
Biology. At 8:30, I realized
two things: (1( Biology does
kneel with my roommate in
was the only male in a roomful
of girls taking some kind of
nursing class. I have kind of
forgotten my resolution I
made the other night. (Well,

one night I remembered to
pray, but, I didn't want to
kneel with my roommate in
the room, so 1 prayed in bed).
I tried to arise early yesterday
to read my Bible, but I didn't
wake up till 7:45 and had to go
to biology without a shower or
anything. I'm sure God
understands because I'm so
busy. I must go down to the
rec room and watch television
now. Until next time.

Thursday, September 25
Dear Diary: Am still keeping
really busy. Played both
tennis and softball today, and
plan to go swimming tonight.
You might remember the res-
olution I made a few weeks
ago. I have discovered the
best way to keep it. Instead of
awaking early in the morning
to study my Bible, (I'm too
tired), I dropped psychology
(too hard), and added Teach
ings of Jesus. (Boy, is it
easy). Therefore, I have a
religion class everyday, and I
can count that as my Bible
study time. I did decide to try
out my prayer life tonight-it
didn't work. I don't know
what went wrong. After
claiming a vei e in John 14
where we are promised "any-
thing", I called that cute

she already had plans and told

don't know why the Lord
didn't stick to His promise.
Until next time.

Tuesday, October 14 Dear
Diary: We won our intramural
game today. I probably
shouldn't have played with
that big biology test coming
up tomorrow. Supper at the
CK was sure good. I really
shouldn't have drank that
second milkshake or eaten
that Snickers, since I don't
need a foggy brain while
studying biology tonight. Oh
well, I'll pray for a clear mind.

Lord will come through this

Ott began his taxidermy

career as a hobby which

gradually developed into a

I business. Before his death, he

donated a large quota to

I Andrews University and now

I his children have given SMC

the remainder of this family
collection.

These mounted specimens
are show items and include a
golden eagle, a red skunk, and
an albino crow. Most of the
collection are birds of prey.

Roy Battle, Guidance Coun-
selor at Collegedale Academy,
and friend of the Ott family,
made the initial contacts and
then brought the collection
from Phoenixville. PA to SMC
in the Collegedale Academy
touring bus on registration

day.

The biology department, at
present, is planning for a
showcase to be installed in the
lower section of Hackman
Hall.

"We really can't put a price
on how much this unique
collection is worth" stated Dr.
Steen. "but some have valued
it between $6,000 - $7,000.

The display will be com-
pleted as soon as possible, if
all goes according to plan,
within a couple months.

Gimpus Ministries Sponsors "Destiny"

Frank Roman

Campus Ministries is spon-
soring a new drama group at
Southern Missionary College
called "Destiny".

The group will consist of
devoted young people who
display an interest and talent
n the field of dramatics.

There will be fifteen actors
md actresses who demon-
strate an ease in basic drama
skills such as stage whispers,

I staee position, diction, etc.
It will be one of the most

t challenging programs the stu-
dents have had the opportu-

i nity to work on" remarked
Campus Chaplain Jim Her-

Destiny will Offer tech-
niques of evangelical witnes-
sing through mimes, short
plays, skits, and other related
areas of drama. The group
will perform anywhere from
city parks to auditorium
stages.

The style of the group is
simple. There will be no
excessive costumes or props.
The setting is left for the
imagination of the viewer.
This will give the audience an
opportunity to get involved
with the play.

The groups will peiform
short skits during Campus
Ministries' chapels which will
be held twice a month. They
will promote Blood Assurance,
Bonnie Oaks, and various
other Campus Ministries acti-
vities.

There are scheduled trips to
different academies such as
Bass Memorial, Georgia-
Cumberland, and Highland
Academy. A week long Flori-
da trip administering to differ-
ent churches in the Miami and
Fort Lauderdale area is also
planned.

Auditions are September
16, 17, and 18 from 7:00 p.m.

to 10:00 p.m. They will be
held in the Student Center
Cube Room. Those wishing to
audition are to notice the day
on which they must try out.
This is according to the first
letter of their last name.

Phone Access Restricted at SMC

The dial nine access out of
Southern Missionary College
was restricted to on campus
access as of August 1, 1980.
A. W. Barnes, executive vice
president and general man-
ager of the Ooltewah-College-
dale Telephone Co.. an-
nounced this restriction
during the summer, leaving
no option for any other action
by the college.

Because the students at SMC
are not recorded with South
Central Bell as "subscribers",
the ratio of trunks versus the
number of registered sub-

scribers is inaccurate. To bt
subscriber, one must pay the
base rate for telephone ser-
vice. At the present time,
SMC is charged $4.20 per
phone, while the base rate for
Collegedale is about S14. This
inaccurate ratio of subscribers
to trunks (27) overioads the
system, making it difficult for
local residents to call Chatta-
nooga.

The phone company did not
offer to keep the dial nine
access and raise the perphone
cost to base rate at SMC,
because more trunk lines
would have to be installed.

Should the option have been
available, however, it is
doubtful that SMC could have
afforded the raised rate of
approximately $77.00.

The phone limitation is
supposed to help ease evening
line conjestion, making it
easier for students to place
and recieve calls on campus.
"I appreciate what little flack
has come from the students,
commented Business Man-
ager Richard Reiner. "And in
another few years the phone
situation will no longer raise
complaints."

2/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/September 11,

Viewpoint:

Sign-out Questioned

We agree. Enough already about it being a new school year,
but Dana and I did want to fake an early opportunity to let
everyone know our objectives for The Southern Accent.

A school newspaper is for the student body, and while news
does have a secure place, we don't feel it should monopolize the
pages. A college student's lot is not an easy one. So through a
series of features dealing with the problems facing college
students, we want to analyze and present possible solutions and
alternatives. But, since life is not always a problmen, we will
present the lighter side of SMC as well.

Religioun is a very vital part of the college experience and it is
an area not to be neglected. Dana and I felt that, although a
weekly religious column with a thought is good, a real delving
into some of the churches' controversies that affect us as
Seventh-day Adventists would be better. Our religious editors
will not have a weekly allagory. but rather, frequent articles
discussing current dilemmas to help students decide for
themselves where they stand, hence, the name "Introspect.

"Diversions" is also a new area of The Southern Accent. As
far as possible, we will outline activities at SMC, as well as in
Chattanooga, to suggest unique variations to the college
routine.

Since this is a student newspaper and because Dana and I
don't claim to have the corner on the market for good ideas, we
invite the students' input and observaions.

To the President, Dean of
Students, Board of Trustees,
and students of SMC, and The
Southern Accent.

I have some questions on my
mind, and I'm sure many of
my fellow students have some
of the same questions, concer-
ning the rule change requiring
cards to be filled out and
handed back at the end of the
church service.

Does the college have the
authority to legislate church

attendence theologically?
Possibly, this could answer all
the other questions, but by
far, this is the most significant
of all.

Second, is it all that
important to attend an organ-
ized church service every
week? Does church every
week contribute to a true
Christian life-style? Can't an
equally important benefit
come from worship in a non-
conventional method?
The third question: Is strictly

Sign-out Answered

Dear Editors:

Several people have asked
the question as to why there
has been a policy concerning
mandatory church attendance.
I do not feel the policy has
changed. We have, however,
made a change in our method
of record taking for church

The major reason for this
change stems from the fact
that in the spring of 1980 it was
observed by the residence hall
deans that approximately 50
percent of the students were
attending church service here
on the SMC campus. There
were a few students who
attended churches in the sur-
rounding area, but according
to our estimate not more than
10 percent of our student body.
With these figures in mind we
discussed some new ways to
encourage regular Sabbath
School and church attendance.

The method of collecting
attendance cards at the church
seems a bit obtrusive to some
people and we are not claim-
ing this to be the perfect way
to take record, but we are
experimenting with other
methods. We will continue to
do this until we find a system
that seems to work well for
everyone.

We feel that regular Sabbath
Schopl and church attendance
is very important and that it
should be an integral part of
the life style of Seventh-day
Adventist Christians. Spas-
modic church attendance or
non-attendance is a bad habit
to develop and due to the fact
we are a training institution
we feel that this should be a
part of the training of students
who attend Southern Mission-
ary College.

We basically have only three
major areas of requirements
for our residence hall stu-
dents; Number one is wor-
ships, number two is our night
check system and number

three is Sabbath School and
church attendance. In looking
at our whole situation we feel
it is not unreasonable to
require our students to attend
our Sabbath services. We feel
if we would look at the
situation with a positive atti-
tude-looking for the good that
can come from regular Sab-
bath School and church at-
tendance, many of the ques-
tions now being raised would
be alleviated.

It would be great if every
Southern Missionary College
student would be at our Sab-
bath services each week with-
out having to be checked on or
asked to turn in an attendance
card. However, our experi-
ence over the past years in
working with our own students
and checking into programs in
other Seventh-day Adventist
colleges shows that many
students simply do not attend
these services on a regular
basis unless some kind of
stipulation is stated requiring

As I'm sure a lot of y'all
noticed, there was a section of
the CircIeK table in the rear of
the gym during registration
that was registering students
to be eligible to vote in the
November presidential elec-
tion. What manv didn't know
was just what is Circle-K?

Well, to put it briefly, it is
the largest collegiate service
organization in the world,
which is sponsored by Kiwanis
International. This year's
theme is "Caring. ..Life's
Magic." Caring for the lonely
child, the abused child, and
the child in crisis. We, as a
club, will be big brothers and
sisters to runaways, orphans,
boy's homes, etc., in the
Chattanooga area.

Helpful Hints on

V\ow to Sur^i/e

Tricia Smith

You've probably got one million things on your mind right
about now. Are you going to get along with your roommate?
Your deans? What are you going to do about a major? Well,
relief is m sight. We have put together some helpful hints to
guide you through this trying time.

REMEMBER TO:

1) Keep in mind, most freshmen don't know what they'd like
to major in. and if they do, aren't clear about what profession
they'd like to go into.

2) Give your school a fair amount of time before you decide
you hate it and want to leave.

3) Pick the friends and the major that you want, not who or
what everybody else tells you is best. Listen to and consider
what other people say. but rely on yourself. Know when to ask
for advice, and what to do about it.

4) Try to be prompt to all your classes and don't get in the
habit of skipping. Not only could it hurt your grade, but it could
set a pattern for negligent behavior in the future.

5) Don't take yourself too seriously or things will affect you
more than they should; don't think a bad grade is a terrible
failuns , or one Saturday night spent alone means you're a social
outcast.

6) If you need help with financing your education, check with
the Student Finance Office about financial aid programs that
you may be eligible for.

4) Learn to be patient with others. Dorms are noisy and
crowded and if someone is being unreasonably loud, speak to
them politely about it. Don't get run over because you are too
shy to say anything." {Bernard Hushdown)

5) "Rememberthatyouareoneof your best friends. Learn
to deal with times spent alone and don't always rely on others
for your entertainment." {Sharon Shutaway)

POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND;

1) Make up a study routine and stick to it.

2) Get to know the different areas of the campus and where
all your classes are.

3) Remember, the library
dorm.

I great escape from a noisy

4) Grades count right from the start, so try to do your best
right off. Otherwise, bad marks can drag your average down for
the rest of your college years.

5) Mom is not here to nag about studies anymore, so develop
some discipline for yourself.

6) Ifitishardforyoutosetup a study system, the "reward"

method might be for you, e.g., "If I finish two chapters in I

can go out for a while."

1) Three umbrellas will be a great necessity for the monsoon
rains and the "borrowing" that will evolve after Tuesday,
Thursday chapels.

1) One wav of developing self-discipline is through sports.
Don't just sit around talking with friends, head for the track,
pool, or gym. You'll meet new people and share new ideas.

2) "Don't worry. Mom. I'm eating right" is not a bad policy.
Without the proper rest, diet, and exercise, you can become run
down quickly.

3) Onepre-writtenform letterforeach month to your parents
^questing: A) more money, B) more cookies. C) toothpaste, D)
ew tube socks, E) all of the above.

1) "Write to your roommate in the summer and decide on the
colors of your room and who will bring the stereo, glass-cleaner,
iron, etc." (Patty Planning)

2) "Don't think that the two of you have to be the best of
friends, merely establish a compatible living arrangement."
(Nellie LovingJ

3) "When problems arise, don't let them build. Talk things
out and try to clear the air." (Mandy Sue Moore)

4) "Set aside certain times for studying, rest, and socializing
so your time may be used wisely." (Andrew Smart)

3) Make time in your week for those little things that may not
be a joy to do. but make you feel better, i.e.. clean laundry.

clea

etc.

Above all, let's remember that college can be a very
rewarding experience with all the new friends, learning of new
places and, more important, where you are going and how to
fulfill yourself in a way that you wiil remain proud of.

For the Record

What adjustments have you had
to make in coming to college?

FRIENDS:

1) "College is not only for studying. You will have the
opportunity to learn about different races, religions, and some
of the unique things other people do so take advantage of it."

(Lawrence Miller)

2) "Don't run home every weekend. You will miss a lot of
opportunities to meet and socialize with different people and
broaden your scale of friends." (Bunny Group)

3) "Set aside time daily to socialize, even if you feel too shy.
This is your year to get to know people, so be friendly and keep
an open mind." (Sally General)

Andy Nail, sophomore, biology, Calhoun. GA: There's plenty
to eat but no food served on campus.

Shirlee Kline, Junior, elementary education, Smithsburg, MD:
There sure are a lot more assignments to complete for the same
number of classes, compared to what we had in academy and
adjustment to my old roommate(alias the author of this column).

David Denny, sophomore, physics, Knoxville, TN: More studyl
Learning to associate with a wider number of people, more
responsibility because of greater freedom and the opportunity
to make more decisions on my own.

Dickerhoff Strikes Back!

Dear Editor,
- To the faithful few who
noticed that my column wasn't
in last week's paper--it's true.
I will not be writing for the
paper this year.

But wait! Before you go
tearing off a letter to the
editors at this outrage, I have
a word of explanation. It's not
that I wanted more money, the
three d ollars a wee k was
enough, and besides. I needed
to lose some weight anyway.
It's not true that I wanted the
name of the paper changed to
the "Southern Dickerhoff."
First of all, I don't think it
could fit across the paper.

The reason I'm not writing
is that I don't have the time.
Taking 16 hours and woi'king
at the bakery, plus trying to
keep up with all the calls I get
from Time and Newsweek, I
just can't find the time to do a
regular column.

For the freshmen who did

not get a chance to read my
column, the college has just
opened the "Steven Dicker-
hoff Room" in the library. All
the columns can be found
inside the vault and are en-
closed in glass casing. Or, if
you don't want to stand in
line. I overestimated my rela-
tives, so you can stop by the
room{C-2). I have a few boxes
of papers I'll be glad to give
out. Autographed copies will
be extra.

I would like to clear up
something that is causing
gn^at concern throughout the
college. I tried to keep it
quiet, but somehow it leaked
out. My roommate is a PE
major. It's not my fault. Last
year he (Steve Martin) was a
music major. Over the sum-
mer he took a trip out of the
country and when he got back
from California he had
changed.

I really kind of like having a
PE major for a roommate. All
his clfisses are easy, so I don't
have to be bothered by read-
ing his assignments to him.
and when I'm trying to get to
sleep, he doesn't talk late into
the night, because (I don't
think he can talk.) The only
thing he has said since school
started is, when 1 threw a wad
of paper into the trash can, he
shouted, "Two!"

I would like to stress again
that everyone stay off the
backs of the editors. They
begged and pleaded for me to
return. I think the only reason
they wanted me was to fill
some space every week, but I
figure that more space will be
filled \vith angry letters than if
I had returned. And I just
might write another article if
the letters don't come in.

,lllirOS13CCr« wisdom from Kings & Wiseman]
Living Amidst Fulfilled Prophecy

Nearly 136 years ago,
according to a large group of
serious Bible students from
many faiths, Jesus was sup-
posed to have come. To this
group, who were the fathers of
our church, God gave extra
understanding in regards to
the Biblical interpretation,
which had caused them so
much heartache and bitter
disappointment when Christ
did not return as they
expected. Thus, the message
of Christ's entrance into the
Most Holy Place of the heav-
enly sanctuary to begin the
work of judgement, began to
be proclaimed.

That this special message has
been both fundamental and
foundational to our church is
denied by none. Yet, through-
out the years, numerous at-
tempts have been made to
challenge this "trademark" of
our church. However, none
have been successful enough
to alter significantly the origi-
nal message.

It is interesting, yet sobering,
to note that, departure from
the truth, especially in connec-
tion with the sanctuary mes-
sage, was foretold by God's
prophet. Ellen White, (see
Evangelism pp. 221-224. also.
Selected Messages. Book 2

pp. 387-391).

On the other hand, God
designed us to be searchers of
the truth. Beliefs can never be
simply handed down from one
generation to the next. Rather
each person must wander out
into the night of the desert and
writhe with God until truth
becomes so real that he orders
his life by it, and will disavow
it for no reason.
The church through the years
has itself initiated various
study groups designed to ad-
dress certain problems which
are associated with the Bible
texts from which the sanctuary
message is drawn. In addition.

on October 27,1979, a religion
professor at Pacific Union
College, Dr. Desmond Ford,
gave a public lecture at an
Adventist Forum meeting,
wherein he raised many of the
same problems that the
church's study groups have
faced. Then, he set forth
solutions which seem to be
contrary to the church's origi-
nal sanctuary message. Be-
cause of the widespread publi-
cation and publicity of his
views, which in turn, caused
much discussion, debate, and
perplexity, the General Con-
ference felt : that Dr. Ford
ought to work with other
church scholars in an effort tyo
church scholars in an effort to
see whether or not his views
were sound in regards to both
the Bible and to the Spirit of
Prophecy. This was accom-
plished in the form of a study
leave for Dr. Ford. During this
time, he worked intensely over
his Endings along with the
group of scholars. Finally less
than one month ago, he was
given the opportunity to pre-
sent his conclusive discoveries
before a large body of church
leaders and scholars which
met in Colorado. There, the
church's official decision was
to hold to the message as is
understood today. Certain
views of Ford's were held to
be in error in regard to the
church's position.

But how does all of this affect
us who are quietly and. per-
haps ignorantly plowing along
here at SMC? It turns out that
there has been and will be
great effects.

For one thing, as was
evidenced by the panel dis-
cussion which took place, Au-
gust 30. here in Collegedale,
that many of our own religion
department scholars feel the
need for further study on the
questions Ford resurrected.
At the same time, we can, we
must trust God's guidance in
the concensus opinion of our
church leaders on this issue.

Perhaps, the greatest con-
cern SMC scholars voiced was
actually first penned many
years ago and reads: "it is of
the utmost importance that
ALL should thoroughly inves-
tigate these subjects (speak-
ing of the sanctuary doctrine)
and be able to give an answer
to everyone that asketh them a
reason of the hope that is in
them" (Great Controversy pp.
488-489-emphasis supplied).

This statement becomes even
more significant today as
there is a general feeling that
a split in the church is
possible. Fellow students,
truly we live in the most
solemn time; a time when the
message of the prophet Amos
is most appropriate. "Prepare
to meet your God, oh Israel."

Editorial Note

If you are an average Sev-
enth-day Adventist, you have
probably been greatly con-
fused by recent events con-
cerning the "Sanctuary Doc-
trine" and Dr. Desmond Ford.
Perhaps you have responded
by trying to ignore the situa-
tion, hoping the problem
would be quickly solved. Or
maybe your response has been
to label with criticism one of
the two participants in the
discussion, and this may have
produced short periods of
inner satisfaction, which
quickly gave way to despair.
Perhaps you do not know
which direction to turn and in
your troubled confusion you
yearn for a secure anchor,
something to shelter you from
the stormy seas of doctrinal
discussion.

There are three such an-

Anchor #1 - The Word of
God-God's Word, be-
queathed to us in the Holy
Bible and through the Spirit of
Prophecy, has never failed.

While proving a
inspiration and comfort to
many, it also withstood the
fires of persecution and the
test of criticism. "The grass
withers, the flower fades, but
the Word of God stands
forever."Is. 40:8 (NASB)

Anchor ff2 - The Church of
God-Though the remnant
church may sometimes stum-
ble, it will never fall for it is
built upon a secure founda-
tion. Jesus Christ, speaking
of Himself stated, "upon this
rock 1 will build My church;
and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it." Mt. 16:18

Anchor ft3 - The Son of
God-Above all, let us always
focus our attention upon Jesus
Christ. With the abundance of
visible magnetic personalities
we have among us, there is a
danger in losing sight of the
invisible One who said, "1, if I j|^
be lifted up from the earth, <^P
will draw all men to myself."

Dulan Awarded Postdoctoral Fellowship

Dr. Garland Dulan, asso-
ciate professor of Sociology
and Behavioral and Family
Science, was one of three
persons awarded a Post-
doctoral Faculty Fellowship in
1979. by The Institute for the
Interdisciplinary Study of
Education at the Northeastern
University of Boston, Massa-
chusetts.

In this Interdisciplinary
Study program, Dr. Dulan was
able to undertake a study of
the effects on the educational
attainments of blacks by their
personal characteristics and
differential backgrounds.

The study was done to see if
sociological factors had a great
influence on a minority stu-
dent's educational success,
compared to that of a white
student's sociological back-
ground and educational

are being experimented with.
Dr. Dulan is investigating
the problem of why certain
things work for some students
and not for others. His study
also posed questions as to
whether or not the tests, such
as the ACT and the SAT could
be used as fairly just measur-
ing tools of a black student's
ability to succeed in college.

Dr. Dulan's presentation on "

the results of his study was
entitled. "The Effect of
Values, Perceived Ability ai -^
Environmental Control on the
College Attendance of
Blacks." This was presented
at the Northeastern University
of Boston. He is currently
working on another presen-
tation entitled, "A Proposal
for the Evaluation of Three
Compensatory Programs for
Freshmen at Northwestern

University."

Dr. Dulan hopes that his
research and study will help
answer his and many other
educational institutions ques-
tions regarding the education
of blacks and other minority
students. In the future, Dulan
would like to see his research
put to work and have the
admissions procedures for
those with a low G.P.A.
entering college modified.

McKee Library on SOLINET System

could be tested by the conven-
tional methods, the black

in the same manner. The

McKee Library at SMC is on
the Southeastern Library Net-
work (SOLINET) system. This
is an automated' library
network.

Some of the services this
system provides are: auto-
mated catalog, an interlibrary
loan system which allows bor-
rowing books from other
libraries on the system, a
serial subsystem which lists
all other universities on the
system journal holdings, and
an aquisition sub system
which will soon be available.
This will cut down the delivery

time of ordered books from

two months to two weeks.

The most important of the
new systems will be the
catalog on microfilm (COM)
which will eliminate the need
for card catalogs.

A sample catalog of 20,000
titles will be made available to
SMC in October. After work-
ing the bugs out, it may be
made available for student ust

Assistant librarian, Peggy
Bennett, says that by next
year it was hoped that all the
titles could be made available,
but that this does not look
possible at this time.

There are several advan-
tages to this system. The first
is that the entire card catalog

will be reduced to a small pack
of microfilm that can be
duplicated for about two
dollars. Viewers will be made
available in the dorms and
there will be several viewers
located around the library.
Each division will also have a

A Senior Praises SMC

Smith Protests

I, Robert M, Smith, have
been a loyal, upstanding stu-
dent of SMC for the past three

I think that after the over-
whelming sum of money that I
have shoveled into this institu-
tion, the least that they could
do for me my senior year
would be to put my picture in
the Joker.*

I understand that I have no
on-campus hours, but, I am
taking 35 hours in direct
conjunciton with SMC. I will
be graduating from Southern
Missionary College with a
B.S. in Medical Technology.
The privilege of being in
conjunction with SMC was
NOT free.

I went to the computer

Center twice to have my
picture taken. (This way
they'd have a variety of mug
shots to choose from.) Did any
show up in the Joker? No! I
would have even accepted my |
photograph with false identifi-
cation (as at least 18 others
did.)

For all my friends, fans and
etc.. that miss my face, I've
included it in this letter. So,
cut it out and paste it in the
Joker on page 65 between
Keith Smith and Steve Smith.
If that's not acceptable, the
nearest blank space is by Rick
Prusia on page 62.

TYPESETTERS

Dear Editor,

The following "history" is
respectfully submitted as a
pep talk to those of my fellow
students who wonder, "Am I
going to survive college?".

"Hello. Southern Mission-
ary College? I'd like to talk
to someone about going to
college."

So began my relationship
with the friendhest college
this transfer student has ever
been associated with.

I'd been out of school for a
few years and faced my first
semester with shaking knees
{caused not only by nerves but
the maneuvering of the "few
stairs"placed ever so misera-
bly about campus). The next
two questions kept me awake
nights. Do I remember how to
study? What do I do if my
mind goes blank on a test?
HELP!

The first semester's history
was marked by the following:
"Garv, I heard this is sup-
posed to be an easy course.
How come it is two weeks
before finals and I think I'm
going to blow it?.. .Elder Hol-
brook, you mean our church
has only been around about a
hundred years? I thought it
had been here forever!... Dr.
Steen, what was that you said?
Write a position paper? Do I
have a position?.. .Mrs. Par-
ker, you wouldn't give us an
IQ test, would you? Excep-
tional Child that's me!. ..Then
finalexamsarnved. PANIC!!
ove r he ard s ome one s ay ,
"Don't forget James 1:5." I
rushed home to discover what
that could be!

"If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God, that giveth
to all men liberally, and

upbraideth not, and it shall be
given him."

Hey, that's for ME! Thank
you, Lord!

Second semester brought
better organization, more self
confidence, and the resolve to
make it! It had its disappoint-
ments. God, why does the
little boy I tutor have to be so
sick?. ..Dr. Winters, what do
you mean I have bronchial
pneumonia? I don't have time
for that!.. .Who is Desmond
Ford and why is there so much
controversy?. ..Dr. Zach, I find
this Adventist Beliefs class
confusing... ME, play a re-
corder, guitar, ete.,etc. Are
you serious. Dr. Robertson?...
Dr. Ruf, I would certainly like
to visit the places you have
been! I fell in love with
Thoreau through you.. .Hey,
Mr. Garren, whatdid you ever
do with those lesson plans we
worked so hard on?. ..Dear Dr.
Pearson, the book Education
is now a cherished part of my
hfe. Thank you, and thanks
for keeping my vision in view.

Summer brohght 18 hours
worth of study and many
hours on crutehes due to a
knee injury. It also gave me
A's and B's and two humble

Dear Editor:

I am fascinated by the
possibilities of student 2009,
as reported in the Accent. We
have 1,123 women and 885
men according to your report.

Just what is the nature of
student 2009? I can think of
many possibilities but all of
them seem to raise further
questions. What classes is
this student enrolled in?
Would we recognize it around
campus? Does it have the
necessary qualifications for
any grants? When will it
graduate? Can we arrange for
an interview with it?

I anxiously await the un
veiling of this mystery.

Sincerely yours. j

The College According to Art.

To say that Steve Dickerhoff
is a legend is putting it mildly.
Week after week, he rocked
the school and the students
with his wit. sarcasm and
sharp criticism. This is one
author who would have kissed
the ground Dickerhoff walked
on if it weren't for the fact that
someone might have seen me
and thought 1 was stooping to
kiss a frog.

There was something that
puzzled me about Steve, how-
ever, and in the true style of
Sherlock Holmes, I deter-
mined to fit the pieces to-
gether. 1 started with a person
I knew would give me the
story straight.

Mrs. Dickerhoff sounded
cheerful enough as she ans-
wered .the phone in her
middle-class suburbian At-
lar.ta home. So, after the

initial greetings I got right to
the point. "Peggy," I tried to
sound as casual as I could,
"what is it about Steve and
P.E. majors?" There was
silence for a moment and then
I heard her start to softly
weep.

"Art." she finally said, "if
it was anyone else 1 wouldn't
tell, but I know you wouldn't
bring this out in the open." I
was glad she couldn't see me
turning red.

"When my boy was small."
she continued after a moment,
"he had his heart set on being
a P.E. major." My head
started to spin before she had
even finished the sentence. I
couldn't believe it. I grabbed
frantically for my pad and
pencil and started taking
notes. She was still talking.

"His father and I practically
went bankrupt in our attempt
to supply all his wants.
Baseballs, basketballs, tennis
rackets, football helmets,
pingpong tables, the list was
endless," she exclaimed.
"He spent hours in front of
the TV set watching all the
sports he could find and
getting very involved in every
game. He also idolized his
nursery school gymnastics
coach." I tried to picture a
minature Dickerhoff dribbling
a basketball, throwing a long
bomb while playing football,
or smashing a home run
during a game of baseball.

"What happened?" I al-
most yelled in my impatience.

"Something just snapped."
she replied. "Suddenly,

Stevie was as uncoordinated
as a pregnant hippopotamus.

He was kicked off the little
league team and dropped from
his nursery school gymnastics
team all in the same week. He
wrote a scathing rebuke about
his coaches and sent it to
every newspaper within 500
miles of Atlanta, but it did no

So that was it! I contacted
Steve's sister, Bev, as soon as
I could for verification on the
story. "That's right," she
said, after 1 told her what I had
heard. "Steve jogged and
worked out with weights for
two years after that in an
attempt to make a comeback.
It was too late. He was a
broken man."

For my final source, I called
Dickerhoff himself. " 'Who
told you?" he wanted to know.
I told him. "I'll call you back

Functions of the Absence Committee Discussed

The Absence Committee is
set up to serve the faculty and
student body of SMC. It
performs several functions:
First, the Absence Committee
takes the burden off of the
instructors for evaluating
excuses for class absence, it
also takes the burden off the
student for locating a teacher
in order to have the absence

The Absence Committee is
easily utilized by means of the
excuse forms available at the
Student Center Desk. These
need only be completed and
dropped into the box labeled
for this purpose in the Student
Center before noon on
Monday.

The Absence Committee

operates according to specific excused or unexcused ab-
guidelines in considering the sences. However, the guide-
lines vary somewhat depend-
ing on the situation, and
would be slightly different for
village students, etc.

Absences are often unexcused

Williams Named Retention Advisor

Frank Roman

Southern Missionary College
has hired Terri Williams as a
retention advisor,

A retention advisor has the
responsibility of keeping in
school those students who are
having academic problems,
social difficulties, or homesick
feelings.

"I don't want to scare the
students with my title," said
Williams. "I've tried to
change it. but this is the only
title I can change it to."

"I want the students to know
that there is someone on
campus who cares about their

think that because they may
have a valid complaint, this
will bring them trouble."

Dr. Ron Barrow had headed
up a similar program, but
because of his other projects,
he was not able to devote his
full capacity to the program.

Williams has several years of
experience. She has worked

/

at the University of Washing-
ton and Washington State
University. There, she
worked in the correspondence
office, the admissions office,
and other areas of the college
administration. All these
positions have helped her in
dealing with students and
their problems, and qualifies
her for the position.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Alexander Pope

ell-being

added.

Some of the programs
planned are mainly directed
toward the freshmen students.
She believes that they are the
most susceptible to homesick-
ness and are prone to leave
college sooner.

Students will be polled for
their opinion concerning some
of the rules of the campus.
They will be free to express
their complaints on certain
inadequacies of the college.

student. I don't want them to

ional fears like this, or pho-
i they are called, plague many
everyday. These phobias are
)ng that a person with such a
annot control his or her reao-
even when they realize how
al it is.

bias often begin with a child-
ixperience that was coupled
lin. Perhaps the person who is
ally afraid of dogs was bitten
6 was young. Someone who is
of water may have nearly
sd at one time. Some of these
ly even involve such harmless
as telephones, clothes, or
if these objects have been
ted with a bad experience.

hobia can also come from a
ng experience, that is, a per-
ly copy his parents' fears. For
le, if a mother or father has a
for flying, or close areas, or

thunder, a child may learn this
t)ehavior and share the same fears.
But whatever the cause, avoidance
behavior, or avoiding the feared
object, only serves to reinforce the
phobia.

Phobias can reach a serious propor-
tion when they interfere with a
person's life. Some individuals
experience so many phobias, or may
have such an intense dread of people,
leaving home, or seeing cars, that
they cannot lead a normal lifestyle.
These people are made prisoners by
their own fears.

People like this can be helped, and
even simple phobias like fear of
worms, or test-taking can be over-
come.

One theory is a psycho-analytic
view in that the person gains insight
to why there is an irrational fear and
when it began. TTiis theory maintains

that when an individual understands
why he has a phobia, he can then
t)egin to overcome if.

Behavior modification is another
successful way to fight a phobia. This
theory involves desensitizing the
person by gradually, in very small
steps, exposing him to the cause of
his phobia until he no longer fears it.

In some instances, however, just
the opposite may be done to help a
phobia. For example, a person who
has a phobia with test-taking, may
overcome it by going to a testing
center and taking many tests until it
becomes second nature and no longer
creates irrational anxiety.

For that person who somewhere,
right now, is encountering a neigh-
borhood dog, that dog does not have
to remain a threat forever. With
understanding and help, that dog can
become just another element of the
surroundings.

Softball

The season is almost half
over and the games are run-
ning very smoothly. There
have been a few matches
where teams have had to
forfeit because not enough
players turned out. Boys, let's
get on the stick and BE
THERE!

Eastern Division has broken
up that big tie that was with us
last week. Slattery has come
out on top for the time being,
but many say that will change.
In the Western Division,
Dubose and Kuhlman are both
undefeated and tied for first
place. Sooner or later, some-
thing's got to change. West-

ern Division has had some
very close games with a lot of
action. We really appreciate
all you that came out to the
games this week. I saw quite
a few of you out there with the
O.J., too. Isn't it great!

Well, last Thursday, the
Youth Leaders of the Southern
Union challenged the students
to some slow pitch. They all
suited up in their red and
white jerseys for the "big
event." _

The fence had been moved
out in left field, but that made
no difference. The left fielder
still got his fair share of

fetching balls when the stu-
dents were up. Finally, he got
tired of going around the fence
and tried going through it, but
decided to shy away from that
in future instances. We won't
mention any final score.
Students won.

Women's
Softball

Kryger has taken a two game
lead with no loses and looks
strong. 1 think some of you
guys need to come watch that
team play you might be able to
learn something.

CABL Swim Meet coming up
on October 19. You don't have
to be a superstar, just be able
to cut the water. Also, come
on out for Water Polo on
Thursday nights at 8:30p.m.
Last week, we had a poor turn
out, so let's get going.

Soccer

SOCCER BIG NOTICE, there
will be soccer games every
Friday afternoon at 3 :00 p.m.

JESUS-PHOBIA: A DEMON'S GREATEST FEAR

When Melissa and Dana

astonishment wasn't that I do

surprise at being asked to
write for the school newspaper
at Southern Missionary Col-
lege, a church -related institu-
tion. As you could guess,
demons holding my high posi-
tion do not often have the
privilege of writing for such an
untainted audience.
I was extremely disappointed
when Melissa set the bounda-
ries of my article by giving me
the subject of a demon's
greatest fear. I had been
hoping for the opportunity of
choosing my own subject. An
essay on the intricate work-
ings of the'underworid would
most certainly have tingled
the tender ears of you stu-
dents. But alas, it was not to
be. Anyway, Dr. Knittel
would probably have censored
the article before it reached
the press.

Though I have penned
articles with greater length
and much more detail than
this, this article describing the
greatest fear of a devil was
one of the toughest I have ever
written. In fact, I could not
even think of anything to write
about. You must understand,
we devils just do not have the
same fears you humans do.

/ •

Humans worry about the tem-
poral necessities of life such as
shelter and food. As for
shelter. I have always had a
place to stay. I don't really
mind it even though the
temperature remains quite
high. Concerning food, we
demons do not need the vast
amounts of nourishment some
of you mortals seem to re-
quire. Many glasses of ice
water will -luffice for us.

I began to think I would have
nothing to write about when a
frightening tidbit of informa-
tion came to me. I learned
that the students at Southern
Missionary College were hav-
ing a Week of Spiritual Em-
phasis. September 15-20. Now
the Weeks of Prayer in them-
selves do not bother me. They
occur twice yearly at most
Adventist institutions, and my
associates and 1 have refined
our techniques until we can
use these weeks to our advan-
tage in some cases. (I cannot
tell you how!)

However, there is something
about this particular Week of
Spiritual Emphasis that wor-
ries me. Today 1 received in
the mail tapes of the first two

meetings. Upon listening to
them, I was greatly alarmed.
Instead of exhorting the stu-
dents to watch their diet or
telling them to concentrate on
living a certain lifestyle, this
Elder Hills is encouraging
them to establish a relation-
ship with Jesus Christ. That's
exactly what we demons fear
most, that the students of
SMC will take time out from
study, Softball, television, ten-
nis, etc., and insert time in
their schedule to study the
Word of God (horrorsl) and
pray, (even worse) If they do
this, we have lost most of our
avenues to tempt them.

So what is our greatest
phobia? It is Jesus-phobia,
the fear that a Jesus revolu-
tion will occur on this campus.
For if it does, it could be
contagious to other Adventist
campuses. However, I am
hoping that once again my
fears will prove groundless
and things will return to
normal after the Week of
Spiritual Emphasis.

Library Boasts Civil War Relics

The McKee library has a
Civil War Library located on
the third floor. It is open to
you, 8-12, Monday to Friday
and 1-6 p.m.. Monday to
Thursday. The library con-
tains approximately 3.500
books and bound periodicals
on Abraham Lincoln, the pre-
Civil War period, the Civil
War, and the reconstruction.
In addition, there are artifacts
on the life of Lincoln, four
presidential documents, se-
lected letters, paintings and
photographs of Lincoln, and
paintings and maps of Civil
War battles. One of the things
that makes the collection so
valuable is that so many of the
books were written in the
1860's or before. One of the
books was published in 1788.
All in all, there

The collection was made
available to Southern Mis-
sionary College by Vernon
Thomas. M.D.. of Keene,
Texas. Dr. Thomas acquired
much of the Lincoln material
from a lawyer. John W. Fling,"
Jr. of Wyoming. Illinois. A
large part of the Civil War
books were purchased from
Dr. Russell Slater of LaSalle,
Illinois. These, together with

what Dr. Thomas himself col-
lected, constitute the Thomas

additional books have been
added to the collection from
time to time by SMC. These
additions will continue.

If. when you go to the card

Childers to Display Work

Malcolm Childers. assistant
art professor at Southern Mis-
sionary College, has been
invited to display his con-
temporary printmaking at the
Florida School of Art in
Palatfca, Florida, on November
7-28.

Childers was invited to dis-
play his work by George Lorio,
gallery director and an ,
associate of Childers in two
Christian art groups.

The groups are Christians in
Visual Art. a national group
and Vineyard Arts Fellowship,
a regional one.

The purpose of these two
groups is to bring dedicated
Christian artists together so
that they may share ideas,
educate one another, en-
courage each other and pro-

mote their philosophy.

These Christian artists do
not believe that they must
always paint pictures of Christ
or what most people would
think a Christian painting.
Their main purpose is to show
others Christ, but they feel a
person can be touched just as
deeply by a beautiful or mean-
ingful painting.

The group's philosophy is to
bring a renaissance to Christ-
ian art. They would like to see
art return to the way it was in
the Middle Ages when reli-
gion and art were closely
intertwined.

Childers explained that art
has been left out on the
fringes of religion in the past
150 years and that the two
need to be brought back
together. He feels that Chrifi

Openings Ai>ailable in
Development Center

The Child Development
Center has three openings for
children aged two to first
grade, according to Marilyn
Siiger, director of the Center.

These children can come
from the families of students,
faculty, and the Collegedale
community.

The Center is on a learning
program, where the children
are taught their colors, num-
bers, shapes, etc. There are
planned activities, art pro-
jects, songs that are learned
and a free-play, where the
children learn to share and
take turns.

Adequate supervision is
provided by 18 college stu-
dents who work with the
children.

The Center is open from
6:30 a.m. until 5:45 p.m. on

weekdays, except for Friday,
when it closes at 3 p.m.

Parents may leave their
child for full-time, for $27 a
week, or part-time (for four
and a half hours before or
after noon) for $16 a week. A
two day a week plan is also
available for $5.50 a day.

The Center is under the
guidance of the Division of
Education and Human Sci-
ences. Siiger has her B.S. in
Eariy Childhood Education
and is working on her masters
degree at the University of
Tennessee in Chattanooga.

The Center is located at the

Strayer Defends Voting

As Greville once quoted, "Man is the only creature
endowed with the power of laughter." And how true his
statement is. Our ability to laugh and maintain a sense of
humor is essential, not only now in a campus situation, but
especially when we are turned loose in the world with our
sheltered surroundings behind us. We must learn that
there is a humorous side to life, and should keep this in
mind always to help protect our sanity as well as have a
healthy attitude. To get bogged down with detail and
excessive knitpicking, is to miss out on one of the greatest
joys of life which is laughter.

In our day to day situations when pressure and worry
can leave us feeling edgy or overreactive, taking the time
to step back and realize that a cynical attitude probably
won't help matters, will do much for our mental
well-being. One might as well laugh as cry and complain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox aptly summed it up with, "Laugh
and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone;
for the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, but has trouble
enough of its own."

Dear Editor:

I am encouraged to see the
S.A. and our student body
participating in registering to
vote November 4. In the
elections of 1968 and 1972.
there were those in College-
dale adamantly opposed to
students' voting because, as
they feared, the student vote
was largely a Democratic vote
in the midst of a Republican
district. I have been thrilled
to see the S.A. become in-
volved in helping in helping
the student body exercise its
franchise rights by setting up
tables in the cafeteria lobby.
Yet in the October 9 Accent,
Larry Riddle demeans this
right of voting as "Unhealth-
ful" and quotes frequently
from one Adventist pioneer to
make it seem sinful to vote. I
should like to flip the coin over
and examine a few other
statements by our pioneers in
the light of their political
behavior.

In the Review for August
12, 1862 (p.84), James White
stated that Adventists who
had voted in 1860 had "to a
man" supported Abraham
Lincoln, the Republican can-
didate for president. While
Mr. Riddle would likely have
been scandalized with Abe's
Sunday-keeping and theater
attendance. Adventists then
voted for Lincoln because he
opposed slavery and wanted to
end the Civil War. Slavery had
for years shaped Adventists*
views on political issues:
Joseph Bates. Joshua V.
Himes, William Storrs,
Charies Fitch, James and
Ellen White, John Lough-
borough and J.B. Frisbie are
only a few early Adventists
who advocated anti-slavery or
abolitionist policies (Spalding.
Origin and History. 1:314-15).
John Byington, our first Gen-
eral Conference president in
1863, kept a station on the
Underground Railroad at his
home in Buck's Bridge, N.Y.,
in clear violation of the Com-
promise of 1850-though in
distinct sympathy with Lin-
coln's Republican views which
caused him to frame the
Emancipation Proclamation of
1863 (Ibid., p. 315).

Uriah Smith, Review editor
for 50 years, frequently de-
fended Lincoln in the church
paper and lashed out at John-
son's veto of the Freedman's
Bureau, calling him "a rebel
and a traitor" (^Jevieiv, Febru-
ary 27. 1866, p. 104). The
editor defended political is-
sues such as temperance can-
didates. Sunday law oppo-
nents, and even women's
suffrage-all in the church

paper from 1882-1 888 1 (see
Durand. Uriah Smith, pp.
106-7).

At its third annual session
in January 1865. the General
Conference passed a resolu-
tion declaring the loyalty of
Adventists to the present
(Lincoln) Government. James
and Ellen White, both pre-
sent, endorsed this resolution
{Review, January 31, 1865, p.
77).

Mr. Riddle might be
amazed to learn that besides
endorsing voting, SDA's have
also advanced Adventists can-
didates for offices in govern-
ment. Adventist minister
William C. Gage was elected
mayor of Battle Creek on an
anti-alcohol platform in 1882.
Undoubtedly Mr. Riddle has
heard of SDA Jerry Pettis,
U.S. Senator from the Loma
Linda district, and his widow
who presently fills his place in
our nation's Senate. One is
also tempted to inquire whe-
ther Mr. Riddle is comfortable
with theAdventist government
of Collegedale-or if he might
have advised in 1968 that we
allow Chattanooga to engulf
Happy Valley into its metro-
politan system by not voting
against incorporation. Had we
done so, we might already be
enjoying the "blessings" of
Sunday closing laws and more
restrictive legislation. Instead

be able to boast of their fine
course offering."

"Could you give me some
examples?" I anxiously asked.

"Certainly. Take Behavioral
Sciences for a start. Upper
division students doing re-
search have a wide spectrum
to choose from in the cafeteria
line. They can siudy social
interaction, varying degrees of
temper, and, if the line is long
enough, development from
adolescence into adulthood.
Then, there's the Religion
department. Where can you
find a better place to practice
preaching than in a line."

My interest was picking up
as he continued.

"Of course the math majors
here can. for the first time,
observe what happens to a
limit as time goes to infinity.
We also have an arrangement
with the PE department so
that students in conditioning
class may receive credit for
walking the several miles from
the back to the front of a line
each day."

"And what about history
majors?" I added excitedly.
"Students who find them-
selves in a long line are
ancient history by the time
they get to the front."

"Exactly," Slop replied, a
smile twitching at his lips.

"There's one thing that

bothers me though," I mused.
"How do you get aline started
in the first place?"

"Ah," the good doctor
sighed, "I thought you'd
never ask. We hire student
labor whom we refer to as line
assistants. Cafeteria servers,

: of <

most important assets. They
make piecetime working for
us. For every student that they
can delay at the serving deck
for more than a minute they
get 17 cents--23 cents if

they're on work study." He
paused and let the impact of
his words sink in.

"Other line assistants are
hired to perform small, but
important, tasks such as
hiding the silverware and
blocking the salad bar."

At this point my stomach
growled so loud that Slop must
have thought the war had
started. I excused myself on
the grounds that I was hungry
and my host was gracious
enough to understand.

"No problem," he said, an
jvious gleam in his eye, "My
en will be waiting for you!"

I didn't quite understand
these last words and pondered

then

the

cafeteria. The full impact hit
me, however, when 1 met the
line in front of the nurses
station. I quickly decided on a
trip to Taco Bell and as I drove
off I could have sworn that I
caught a glimpse of Dr. Slop
waving to me from his office
window.

RELIGIOUS EDITOR S NOTE
This parable is prayerfully
addressed to you, my fellow
students. YOU ARE THE
SAILOR. It is written in the
context of the present conflicts
that rage through our church
over various teachings, espe-
cially the questioning of Ellen
White 's validity as a prophet.
The following explanation of
symbols should aid in under-
standing in the fullest sense
this parable's message to you.

The young sailor is you.
The old sea dog [sailor] repre-
sents those who will, in the
fiiture, choose to disavow the
way God has led in the past.

The Old Map is the Scriptures,
and the updated Insert is the
writings of Ellen WHite. She
is the last generation 's great
explorer. The Guide is none
other than the One who. I
pray. wUI bring these words
hometoyou.

The sun was just beginning
the day as two figures made
their way over the rickety old
dock toward an ancient craft at
the far end. In the gathering
light the sea-battered letters
of the ship's christening pro-
claimed, "Quest for Truth."

As the pair picked their way

around the missing boards,
one could easily distinguish
the vitality of youth in one and
the carefully measured steps
of an old sea dog in the other.
Each took hold of a rope and
began freeing the vessel for
their voyage. 'Now their
conversation became even
more earnest.

Said the old sailor. "Of
course I realize the magnitude
of this trip. Don't forget that
I've spent as much of my life
as you are old searching these
waters around here."

"But you've actually made
my point." replied the young
sailor. "While it is true that
you have been on the sea
much more than most anyone,
this trip is to take us no further
than the waters 'around here'.
This voyage is to the Land of
Truth that we have known
about from the beginning of
our existence. Finding it is
the only hope for our people

"Then please tell me why
you insist upon leaving behind
the Old Map from the first
pioneer explorers, and the
updated insert which the last
generation's great explorer
called, 'the lesser map derived
from the greated," pleaded
the younger man. He contin-
ued, "Do you remember how.
upon returning from her voy-
age, she affirmed the accuracy
of the Old Map? She told us
about meeting the Guide on
her trip and how He had led
her around the multitude of
hazards she found in the
uncharted region beyond the
Old Map. She didn't quite
make it to the Land of Truth,
but she did feel confident that
the Guide would meet any
future explorers as they used

the Old Map and her updated
Insert, and lead them through
the remaining uncharted area
to Truth. Why then should we
leave without them?"

The seasoned sailor paused
appropriately, and then in a
condescending tone he said,
' 'If you will take but a moment
to consider, you will remem-
ber my repeated counsel. We
must by thinkers and nou

explorer's thoughts. You
yourself have proclaimed the
importance of this voyage.
What if the previous explorers
have been wrong? Consider
the lack of sea experience of

thing compared with mine."

It was a struggle that
reached to the very depths of
the young sailor's soul. But as
he pondered once more the

Music Building Proves Unique

Todd K. Parrish ^ -■■

Parrish

The new music building,
part of the future Fine Arts
Complex, will be the first
section completed sometime
this summer.

This beautiful new structure
will have many features uni-
que to any building in this
area. It has been designed
especially with the performing
arts, particularly music, in
mind. ' 'The idea is for it to be
functional, yet beautiful."
says Dr. Marvin Robertson,
Music Division Chairman.
"It's different than an average
classroom building
it's got to function ii
capacity."

This is what Klaus Nentwig.
architect of the building, has
provided for. All of the walls
will be solid concrete, and the
floors have a rubber mate set
a few inches beneath the
surface. This prevents sound

transferring side-to-side, and
up and down.

Nentwig is also an artist and
musician who was trained in
Germany. This substantiates
his interest in seeing the
building be a functional
creation for the arts.

The projected $2.1 million
project will be put into use
next summer by the division,
and the first classes will be
held in it next Fall.

The structure has three
separate levels housing 23
odd-shaped practice rooms.
This will help to break up the
sound sound and make it easier for
students to concentrate.

There is also a large or-
chestra and band practice
room directly behind the con-
cert hall. The practice rooms
for organs have two-story
ceilings in order to hold more
sound volume. These char-

acteristics help to enhance the
good acoustics throughout the
building.

"It has been designed with
music in mind," reports
Robertson. A constant hu-
midity control is another uni-
que feature, considering the
storage and use of instru-
ments the many rooms pro-
vide for.

The glass along the outside
of the music building will be
bronze in color, and the light-
ing will stream all around the
white columns and red brick.
This adds to the esthetics, yet
provides security to the area.

"I am anxiously looking
forward to the new addition to

Vital re-i

as being approximately four
feet long and one inch in
diameter, black in color, and
expands the skin on the neck

:Viewpoiiit:

You've no doubt heard of Murphy and his laws. These
rules pertain to almost every facet of life.
Weil, recently, I've come up with a few laws of my own
that are geared to the more local surroundings of SMC.
I think you'll find these particularly helpful in certain
situations around campus.
DANA AND HER COROLLARIES

1. It will always rain unless you're carrying a bulky
raincoat and umbrella.

2. If you don't do your statistics homework, it'll be the
time Dr. Richards asks for it.

3. The weekend vou plan to go home is the weekend
you're asked out by three different people.

4. The day you decide to hang that picture up with
cement nails is the day your Dean comes "visiting".

5. If you loose your completed term paper, it's
guaranteed that in three hours after you type a second
copy, you'll have found the first one.

6. The one answer you forgot on your history exam is
remembered as you walk down the steps of Lynn Wood.

7. The day you smile at that someone you've been eyeing
is the day you have a broccoli leaf stuck between your
teeth.

8. The one time you count on someone doing you a favor
is the time they don't come through and there you are
stuck with trying to work around it.

It's just the way things go. There's nothing you can do
about it, short of retiring to the mountainous region of
Outer Swaziland on a sabatical to study the changes of
one's own mind. However, you can't do that because your
parents want you to get a good education, so we're back to
the beginning. ..You've no doubt heard...

Plea to live and Let Live

There comes a time when a
person cannot be silent, and
that time is now.

Sunday evening my room-
mate and 1 were headed
towards Miller Hall to practice
when we came upon this

squii

crouched in the middle of the
road, obviously injured. As
we moved closer, I could see
the blood coming from its
mouth and nose; there was
blood on its feet, and as it
tried to move away from us, it
could only drag along very
slowly.

You're probably sitting
there saying to yourself, "So

what's so upsetting about a
hurt squirrel that you'd
write?"

What's upsetting is that the
squirrel was injured by some
heartless student who threw
rocks at it. No, it wasn't a
grade school student; it wasn't
an academy student; it was
one of our "mature" college
students.

I did not recognize who he
was, and I don't want to know,
either. What I'm concerned
about is the obvious lack of
care and respect this person
and, unfortunately, others
have for God's creatures.
Their hearts must be awfully

hard to be able to hurt some
little animal that has done '
nothing to hurt anyone else i I
feel sorry for you-whoeier
you are--and 1 hope you wi||
learn to treat others, including
animals, as you would want to
be treated.

For those who do care-i,
squirrel will probably live, bm I
there's a chance it will be I
crippled for the rest of its life f

So come on! Let's live and
let the creatures live, too.

After all, they have just a
much right here as we do!

Sincerely,

Sharon Cone

Grundset Exists, Yea Verily

Dear Editors:

Oh, Woe is me! I don't
exist!

At least not according to
this year's Joker. Due to some
"grand design" mix-up, my
picture is missing from the
Joker-I'm not even included
in the "Pictures Not Avail-
able" section. Well, I wish to
tell the world that I'm alive
and kicking in the Biology
Department of Natural Sci-
ence Division in Hackman Hall
on a regular daily basis. None
of the following tragedies has
befallen me:

(1) I have not been buried
alive in one of the white plastic
sewer pipes being installed in
Summet;

(2) I have not metamor-
phosed into a frog;

(3) I am not endlessly
encircling Atlanta on the 285
by-pass;

(4) To the best of my
knowledge, 1 have been expel-
led from this institution either
on a moral or sub-scholastic
charge.

If and when a January
supplement to the Joker is
published, 1 would like to have
my picture installed therein. I
have been trying to discuss
this possibility with the Joker
editor but can't seem to find
him-I think he's hiding. If the
picture is published there will
still be a problem as to what
category to place it in. Several
possibilities come to mind:

(1) Errant Faculty Norway

(2) Senior Citizen Re-enter- At any rate, pie;

What effect do weekly altar calls have on
you?

John Webster, senior, communication/psychology. New
York. NY: 'Tm indifferent-I'm a minister's kid and I've
heard it all. But in college, perhaps, we need it to
encourage the kids who are afraid to go up because of peer
pressure."

Linda Kimble. Junior, communication journalism. Preto-
ria. South Africa: "I'm not used to it every Sabbath. I
think it becomes a ritual, but on the other hand there
may be someone in the audience. It should be left to the
minister's descretion, because who are we, as students,
to say."

Vito Montaperto. freshman, chemistry, Asheville. NC: "I
haven't been here long enough to understand what the
real purpose is served when they're conducted so often.
Perhaps, if they were held once every two weeks instead of
weekly, the service would be more meaningful."

Elbert Tyson, senior, communications. Wl: "I believe the
service looses much of its meaning when performed in
such a perfunctory manner. There are other ways of
mdicating a commitment to God then the after call.

OarrelSiarkey. junior, psychology/religion. Glendale.
AZ: "I believe that all should have the opportunity ■"
some way each week to accept or renew their faith, but not
necessarily the traditional, emotional, 'altar call'."

Carmen Labate. religion. Bethlehem. PA: "I believe that
altar calls have value only as the Spirit moves us. To make
this a weekly rite is to cheapen our testimony. We shouW
an respond to a daily 'altar call' as we come to God on our
knees each morning in prayer."

The College According to Art:

1 the dense jungles of
Tennessee there lies the
remote and primitive village of
SMC. Here, in the naturally
wild atmosphere, you can find
a lion lying behind every bush,
a snake hanging from every
tree, and a giraffe looking in
every window of Thatcher
Hall.

Perhaps this is slightly
blown out of proportion, but
then who knows? When I first
heard there was a cobra
slithering through the grass of
our previously protected
campus I was ready to dismiss
it as another rousing rumor.
Last night, however, some-
thing happened to change my

"They would never believe

Art, so it would be better this

A study of the social intel-
ligence and creative problem
solving behavior of 91 SMC
theology majors during the
1979-1980 by Gerald Colvin
has been accepted for delivery
at the annual Tennessee Psy-
chological Association conven-
tion to be held this year in
Memphis on October 15-17.

Colvin's three primary hy-
potheses were all upheld by
his investigafion: (a) social
intelligence scores derived
from J. P. Guilford's four
factor tests would significantly
contribute to the prediction of
faculty ratings for theology
majors at SMC; (b) creative
problem solving indices would
correlate significantly with
rated potential for the mini-
stry; (c) theology majors who
were sons of ministers would
receive significantly higher
faculty ratings than those
whose fathers were not
ministers.

All 91 SMC theology majors
completed four tests of behav-
ioral cognition, an alternative

solutions exercise to a "pas- out any intervening time."

theology majors involved their
hypothetical assignment to a
church already split apart by
the divorce and remartiage of
four of its primary leaders. In
the 10 minutes alloted for this
exercise the 91 majors gene-
rated over 600 solutions, only
41 of which were actually
separate and discrete.

Colvin states that his was a
criterion referenced study,
since performance on several

"independent" external

identified as a concurrent

"since the tests and the

and Psychology, Colvin is
chairperson for the newly

Why Do I Feel So L(

m

I

Tricia Smith

Dan sat on the brick wall outside the
Student Center. Boy, he wished he
had someone to talk to. He looked
first, down toward the library, then
Lynn Wood Hall. Nobody. Wait!
Here comes some people out of the
Student's Center! They looked like
they were having fun. Dan sat up
straighter and followed their path out
of the corner of his eye. They walked
right past him. Dan heaved a sigh of
disappointment and swung his feet
back and forth.

Loneliness is something we all face
in coming to college but for some, it is
much more of a real problem. It can
make us feel lost and unloved.
Therefore, we hate school, teachers,
students, and at times, even our
own selves.

Loneliness can be considered in
three different categories:

1. Real

2. Percieved

3. Identity

Real loneliness is without company.
Totally alone.

"IT'S JUST SITTING IN YOUR
ROOM AND NOT BEING ASKED
TO GO ANYWHERE WITH ROOM-
MATES OR FRIENDS AND WISH-
ING YOU WERE AT HOME."

In perceived, we may be around
others but don't fit in with the
system. This can be caused from a
number of things. Our old relation-
ships may be terminated or disrup-
ted. This includes leaving our family
at home, loss of old school friends,
and others that we have felt close and
comfortable with. Once these famil-

iar support systems are taken away
and we are left to manage ourselves,
the feelings of loss can Ijecome
greater and greater.

These are our sources of need (fam-
ily, friends, etc.) that supply us with
our love, caring, and understanding,
and our feeling of belonging.
Without them, we may truly feel like
just another face and numljer.

This can be considered a sort of
nostalgia loneliness where we long for
familiar surroundings. These feel-
ings of insecurity can stem from being
placed in a new environment, facing
new challenges, and feeling threat-
ened to inadequacy in our own
feelings of worth, which leads into
"Identity" lineliness.

Identity is a type of loneliness that
leaves us struggling with the crisis of
"Who am I," "What is my role" and

The Eastern Division has
taken a bit of a turn. David
West has come in with a
couple of big wins that has put
him on top. All the teams are
still close, though, so no one
can afford a mess up.

In the Western Division.
Flach is slowly taking a lead
over Kuhlman and Dubose.

All the teams are having a
good season, but it only has
one week left.

Wednesday and Thursday of
next week will be the Big
Softball Tournament. There
will be several teams repre-
senting the dorm floors, facul-
ty, R.A.'s and the village
students. If you have any
questions contact Dean Qual-
ley, or however you spell it.

Last Sunday was the Talge
Hall Golf Tournament. It was
played at Nob North Country
Club near Cohutta. All to-
gether there were 12 teams.
The Conference office sent a
team up and the Collegedale
Church had a team.

The tournament was a best
ball tournament-where you
choose the best shot of the
four on your team and play
from there after each shot.
This relieves some of the
pressure and gets everyone
supporting one another. The
teams were all fairly even with
seven of the 1 2 coming up with
4-5 under par.

Matt Nafie's team, (Dick
Byrd. Billy Knecht, Don Le-
mon) came up with 10 under
par.

This tournament went so well
that another has been planned
for April 5. Watch for details.

[Introspect: wisdom from Kings & Wiseman;

Lonely voices, crying in the residence halls.

The lonely voice of a spiritual child.

Lonely faces look upon another sunrise.

Burdened by the worries of the day.

Laden most by their own thoughts

Of what seems to be a foolish role to try to play.

Lonely eyes that speak of endless wondering.

Searching for that spiritual Comforter who was here last

in. God was noticeably pres-
ent last week. The emotion
was sweet, and the victory was
intense. Yet, God cannot
allow this to last forever. The
time comes when He must
withdraw from our conscious-
ness to provide for the con-
tinuing exercise of our choice
of Him, hence, the truth. Look
and see. Wasn't this the
experience of the greatest
people of scripture? In fact, it

seems that those closest to
Him experienced the longest
and deepest troughs (espe-
cially consider Jesus).

But, again, is that all? Must
we just accept the two facts:
(1) we live in cycles; and, (2)
God wants to use the troughs
in a special way? No, I believe
that there is an additional
element in which provides a
glimmer of light in the dark-

ness of apparent solitude.
Consider that it is an^uTainate

step in a person's relationship
with God when the feeling is
gone, but still intending to do
His will, he looks around
himself, finds that every trace
of Him seems to have va-
nished, yet continues to
search for Him in prayer and
scripture. This is the key to
spiritual growth, the way to
the end of the tunnel.

presses the story of your life
this week-the week after the
Week of Prayer. Things have
been pretty rough this week,
haven't they? It's about the
furthest thing from "easy" to
live a Christian life in an
unchristian world, isn't it?
On the other hand, you say the
week has been just great. Oh,
but down deep, aren't you
actually fearful, knowing that
things can't stay this nice?

Without question, your
fears are ligitimate, for in a
sinful world, we cannot escape
the roller coaster effect. But
must we sink back, helpless,
and despairing at the loneli-
ness, the seeming aloneness,
of the present? On the
contrary.

YOU CAN LIVE THROUGH
THE WEEK(S) AFTER THE!
WEEK OF PRAYER AND
NOT TURN BACK TO SPIR-
ITUAL LONELINESS.

A thoughtful reading of
what follows will give you the
key.

lives constantly move between
peaks and troughs, (a Week of
Prayer and the week after the
Week of Prayer). This is true
of every aspect of our lives--
our interest in our studies, our
affection for our friends, our
desires for diversion, all go up
and down. This cycle then, is
but a natural phenomenon.
But is that all?

By no means. In addition,
we can be certain that the two
forces in the universe operte
in connection with our peaks
and troughs. Now here's the
big surprise, in God's efforts
to get permanent possession
of your soul. He relies on the
troughs even more than on the
peaks (remember Romans
5:1-6). This is the greatest
fact of our existence! God
wants all to be His by one
way--their own choice.

That is where the troughs fit

The music department of
Southern Missionary College
is holding its sixth annual
retreat from Friday, Sep-
tember 26, until Sunday, after

The retreat weekend will

Springs and Elder Gary
Patterson, the Georgia-Cum-
berland Conference president

is scheduled as speaker.

Sabbath activities include a
church service where music
majors will get together and
play their instruments. A hike
will also be conducted.

All music majors are invited
to spend a weekend getting
acquainted with faculty and
other music majors.

their previous students.

WSMC Joins Awareness Effort

Xandra Y. Zamora

This month WSMC joins in
with National Public Radio's
first major national effort to
call attention to public radio's
wide range of programming.
Listeners will be able to listen
to an assortment of programs
during this month's long cam-
paign.

"A World of Difference" is
this year's theme for NPR's
■■Public Radio Awareness
Month." It features an array
of special broadcasts covering
the spectrum of public radio's
cultural and public affairs
programs. Many of NPR's
acclaimed series will be pre-
miered.

WSMC. along with NPR,
wants to spread the word that

they produce and distribute
more programs than any other
radio network.

It's time for many more
people to learn of public
radio's entertaining and in-
formative programs," stated
Valerie Dick. Program Coor-
dinator for WSMC. "We want
to stress that the quality and
originality of public radio are
unparalleled by any other

Some highlights of the

tra and The Chattanooga
Symphony.

I must say I'm impressed. It has been a long time since
an Adventist educator has made such a bold and dramatic
move as our own Dr. Knittel has recently done. In fact, it
was in 1897 at Battle Creek College that E. A. Sutherland
plowed up the play field, thus ending such foolishness,
and planted crops.

The present administration at SMC has again moved
forward in a modem, innovative program of plowing up
the mall of the campus. It was a stroke of genius, to say
the least. Few would have predicted the results. Great
flocks of exotic birds find the hewly planted seed most
delightful- re suit, the ornithology field trip to Florida has
been cancelled. The mud and dirt on the clothes (and
tracked through the buildings, the result is, more students
are working at the cleaners and the service department.
Couples are no longer lollygagging on the lawn of the
mall-the resi' standards are being maintained.

Lastly, the new crop of okra should provide food for all
the result is lower cafeteria prices. (Those who find it
difficult to swallow fried okra, the cafeteria promises to
serve it boiledl) Should there be another drought in
Collegedale, the rocks could be harvested-the result is a
new pet rock industry. This editorial salutes the new
educational reform at SMC.

Literature Evangelist Reports

Dear Fellow Students:

With the school year well on
its way, we have already had
the opportunity to get involved
in the many extra-curricular
activities, clubs, etc., and
along with all the other clubs,
the Literature Evangelists
club has had its first meeting,
and we were shown the movie,
"The Fire and the Sword."
The club officers were also
voted and are as follows:
Dave Prest, president; Lonnie
Kerbs, vice-president; Dar-
lene Hallock, secretary; and
Mary Lou Bunker, public rela-
tions secretary.

The officers of the clubs
have met twice now and are
looking forward with great
enthusiasm for a fantastic,
fun-filled year. We are mak-
ing plans for a weekend
campout, vesper programs,
and much more.

So many times when a

person hears the words litera-
ture evangelist, he is turned
off. Maybe it's because he
feels threatened or maybe he
doesn't like the idea of seUing
books. This year, our club's
goal is to reveal the many
worlds of the colporteur.
Won't you come and find out
what they are from the experi-
ences of others on October 14?
"There is a great work to be
done, and every effort pos-
sible must be made to reveal
Christ as the sin-pardoning

Saviour Christ the Lord wffl

g.ve us favor before the wort
until our work is i„°',.
Testimonies vol. 6, pp, 20,21

You can serve the Lord bv
just wearing a smile, but com
and be inspired by the expcri
ences of others. Maybe you
too will want to share thei
blessings.

Sincerely,

Mary Lou Bunker

Boy think too much;

Athelete Irritated by P. E. Secretary

THE SOUTHERN ACCENT
Southern Missionary College am
excsptlon of vacation and exam \

To our fellow student athletes-
The other day I, along with
two friends of mine, made our
way to the racquetball courts
for a game of cut-throat. In a
matter of minutes we were
totally absorbed in our game
and lost all account of passing
time. Suddenly, a violent,
turbulent woman descended
with rage upon us and accused
us of a trifling, petty sin. We
had been so absorbed in our
game that we had played a few
miijutes overtime. No one else
was there to play in our court,
and no one in their right mind
would be constantly stopping

a racquetball game to look at
the clock on the opposite wall
of the gymnasium just to see
what time it was. It is the
usual policy at all clubs and
most public racquetball courts
for the manager or, in this
case the secretary, to either
blink the lights when time is
up, notify the players in a kind
manner, or allow the players
to continue to play until the
next group of players arrive
and knock on the door upon
which the present game is
immediately terminated.

The manner in which we

were confronted caused me
reflect upon the words
Washington Irving's "Rip Van i
Winkle" which ask:
what courage can withstand |
the ever-enduring and all-
besetting terrors of a woman's
tongue? ' ' The afore men-
tioned then proceeded to as-
sail us with a violent reproach I
acting in a manner similar [
that of a quack. After all, if w
had committed a hateful o
odious act, I could understand |
her actions, but it was si
trivial matter. If she had jusi |
asked us to leave, or told us
the time, we would have lefi
immediately. But, she rep-
roached in such a manner thai
we acted rather flippant to-
wards her which led to the
vehement conversation which |
I will not disclose because 1 d'
not feel it is important
However, I do feel it i
important that some type/
policy be made concerning
this problem and if ^^^^^
already is a policy, it shouldbe

posted so that all players kno^
what is expected of them. A
simple solution to the prol^'^lj
has already been mentioned iB
my letter. For p'ayers to "j
constantly running outside i |
check the clock seems some
what foolish. Just a simp[ |
"Hi! How's the game?
time to go," would mei ^
good response from ^ I
players and besides, what ar^ |
those giris getting pa^'^
anyway?

The College According to Artf

"Some men learn that a
horse has hind legs only after
they're kicked by one."

This is the tragic story of a
Chattanoogan bachelor who
lost his true love in a slimy pile
of grease. I have recorded the
facts as they were told to me,
but the names have been
changed to protect the inno-

"You look smashing
Mary , ' ' Mark's praise was
well deserved and Mary
blushed at his words.

"You don't look so bad
yourself," she replied sweet-
ly. It was true. Mark had
been preparing a long time for
this day and now he was a
striking sight in his new three
piece pinstripe purchased es-
pecially for the occasion.
Even more important, how-
ever, was the costly ring
hidden safely in his coat
pocket. This was to be the

most important evening of
Mark's life and his heart beat
like an express train.

"Where to tonight?" Mary
ventured as they pulled out of
her driveway in his Trans Am.
Mark allowed a smile to flicker
across his face.

"Remember Jim, my friend
that goes to SMC?" She
nodded. "Well, he told me
about this romantic little rest-
aurant in Collegedale called
the CK."

"CK? '

"That's right," Mark
reached across and took her
hand. "I think it stanks for
Cozy Korner."

Time sped by for the happy
couple and in less than twenty
minutes, Mark was politely
holding the CK door open for

said, casting a nervous glance
around the room.

reassured her, "I made reser-

They stood a couple minutes
waiting for someone to seat

"Why is everyone wearing
jeans and T- shirts?" Mary
asked in obvious disappoint-
ment.

"I think I read in the papers
there was supposed to be a
professional baseball team

eating here tonight," Mark
lied after observing gloves and
cleats scattered around the

After fifteen more minutes
of standing without anybody
coming to seat them Mark
spied a couple of empty seats
and suggested that they sit

"Thirty-two!" some guy
nearby shouted.

"Thirty-three!" a girl in a
blue and white pants suit
chimed in.

"Why are they shouting
numbers?" Mary wanted to
know. Mark thought a mo-

"I heard once that in some
expensive restaurants they
shout how much they are
paying for a meal and the
customers try to outdo one
another" he said.

"Can you beat $33?" she

"I'll top the highest bid for
you darling," he tried to
appear nonchalant but secret-
ly hoped the bidding wouldn't
go too high.

Fifteen more minutes went

by.

"Waiter," Mark motioned
to a guy in a yellow shirt that
proclaimed 'Collegedale is for

"Yea?"

"Waiter, no one has served
us yet. Could we haVe a
menu?" The guy looked
bewildered but pointed to the
wall. Mark's face fell.

"What's a Lomino?"
Mary's questions kept com-
ing.

"It must be French."
Mark's courage was fast
failing him but he still attem-
pted to appear undaunted.

"I think I'll try your exotic
La Lamino, " he told the waiter
who was busy talking to a
blond in white shorts.

"I'll have a Sam's Chicken
Sandwich," Mary fmally de-
cided, "I use to have a uncle
named Sam. The waiter
yelled the order to the girl in
the blue and white pant suit
and then looked at Mark ,

"Could I see your ID card?"

"Certainly," Mark pulled
out his driver's license.

"Will this do?"

"Eighty-twol" someone
yelled from across the room,
Mark broke out in a sweat.

' ' How come that girl is
wearing shorts if this is a
fancy restaurant?" Mary
wanted to know.

"She's probably the even-
ing's entertainer," Mark was
running out of answers.
"* Fifteen more minutes went
by. The bewildered couple
could do nothing but stare
when the meal was brought.
The Lomino didn't look very
French and not the least bit
exotic.

Then it happened. As Mary
was taking a bite of her Sam's
Chicken Sandwich, she sque-
ezed a bit too hard. Suddenly
her evening gown was covered
with grease. Mark gasped.
Mary calmly stood up, sque-
ezed the remaining grease
onto Mark's head, and stomp-
ed out.

"Are you sure CK doesn't
stand for Crum's Kastle!"
Mark shouted at the guy with
the yellow shirt, but all the
poor fellow could say was,

"Ninety-four!"

"A HOLY WAR" {U.S. News
& W.R., Sept. 15. '80. p. 24)

INTRODUCTORY NOTE:

While it is the least of our
desires to induce premature
judgments and spawn dogma-
tic eschatological constructs,
we, as religious editors, are
alarmed at the unawareness of
our peers as to the final events
which are rapidly taking place
on ail sides. Our own Dr.
Norman Galley, who devotes
much of his time and energy to
keeping up with the current
fulfillments of prophecy, says
that, "everything is happen-
ing so fast." He adds, "The
final events scene changes
daily." If this writing can only
act as an awakening alarm
clock in the morning, it will
have definately achieved its
purpose.

Last year was a big one for
pornography. In one year
alone, such displays as sex
with children and animals
earned four-billion dollars in
the market place. (Moral Ma-
jority Report, July 30. '80, p.
13). A month ago Newsweek
stated. "Nearly half of the
nation's fifteen to nineteen
year old girls have had pre-
marital sex, and the age of
initiation keeps dropping."
{Newsweek. Sept. 1. '80. p. 3)

During the same 365 days of
1979, there was a little more
than 4100 allowed murders
every day by Americans (you
and I) for nearly one and a
half million abortions occur-
red. {Eternity. July- Aug., '80,
p. 19) At the same time
politicians around the nation
were under investigation for a
multitude of alleged dishonest
activities.

One of the nation's major
cities (San Fransisco) is proud-
ly 75 percent homosexual, and
evolution is proclaimed as
truth by Christian leaders ev-
erywhere. Don't forget that it
was but a few short years ago
when the number one man in
the world was removed from
the highest office for dishon-
esty (Watergate). America
leads the world in a full power
immoral dive towards the
beginning of eternity. ..that is,
eternal destruction.

TO THE RESCUE!

In a desperate attempt to
halt the threatening tidal
waves of immorality, thou-
sands of evangelical conserva-
tive right-wing preachers have
launched themselves into the
mainstream of American poli-
tics in an all-out attempt to

p. 24 (This body of Christian

single most potent force ever
in American politics (30-60)
million Protestants and Cath-
olics), is spurred on by the
well-known Sunday morning
TV evangelists, such as Jerry
Falwell, Pat Robertson, and
James Robinson (from an as
yet unreleased article tor -
These Times, by Dr. Norman
R. Gulley). Their productions
have been springing to the
front of the scene more and
more. Here are a few of them:
The 700 Club and PTL of
television, the Washington for
Jesus Movement, the Chris-
tian Voice Movement, the
Roiindtable, and the Moral
Majority.

How successful have they
been? "The 'Washington for
Jesus' rally drew between
200,000 and 600,000 people,
depending upon which report
one follows." ^These Times
article by Dr. Gulley) Major
political efforts have already
taken a toll on congressional
leaders with many more in
their sights. [Newsweek, Sept.
IS, '80, pp. 28,29).

Without question the most
startling demonstration of po-
litical muscle has been dis-

to put Republican Ronald Rea-
gan in the White House."
(U.S. News& W.R., Sept. IS,
'80, p. 24) Reagan has
responded with many vocal
overtures (listen to any news-
cast), and an appointment of
the director of the Moral
Majority, Robert Billings, to
become his personal liason
with the bom-again com-
munity. {Newsweek, Sept. 15,
'80, p. 36) Newsweek adds,
"the Republican. . .-
campaign. ..has been wooing
the evangelicals all year..."
Another statement from New-
sweek describes the "court-
ship" (harlotry?) of Reagan
and the Moral Majority in
which the evangelicals have
had an opportunity to shape
the very platform for the
presidency.

Right this minute I am

Ronald Reagan, and about

IT'S BEEN THERE ALL THE
TIME

Friends, I want you to know
that my head has really been
left spinning as I have pursued
the research for this and other
projects on this subject. But
when I turned to a rather
unimposing black book which
I've had on my shelf for
many years, 1 discovered that
it's been there all the time. I
simply wasn't able to conceive
of something like this happen-
ing. Consider her words.
"Let the principle once be
established in the U.S. that
the church may employ or
control the power of the state;
that religious observances
may be enforced by secular
laws;in short, that the authori-
ty of church and state is to
dominate the conscience, and
the triumph of Rome in this
country is assured." (Great
Controversy, p. 581)

I would encourage, indeed
ask you, to read the entire
chapter in Great Controversy
entitled, "The Impending
Conflict." There she draws an
astonishingly accurate picture
of precisely what has occurred
in our world. First, she
portrays the rapid and com-

plete decline in morals. She
depicts the rising promiscuity,
the increasing political cor-
ruption, and both the heart-
lessness and the homosexual-
ity of mankind. She warns of
the abounding erratic beha-
vior of nature. Cold when it
shouldn't be. Terrifying
storms. Droughts multi-
plying.

And then she comes right
out and states that a move-
ment will arise to stop the
rising tide of immorality! (GC,
p. 587) But, there is a special
twist to the proposal of this
morality movement. "Yet this
very class put forth the claim
that the fast-spreading corrup-
tion is largely attributable to
the desecration of the so-
calied'Christian sabbath,' and
that the enforcement of Sun-
day observance would greatly
improve the morals of society.
This claim is especially urged
in America, where the doc-
trine of the true Sabbath has
been most widely preached."
(GC, p. 587) Moreover, she
reveals that, "the assertion
that God's judgments are
visited upon men for their
violation of the Sunday-sa-
bbath, will be repeated; al-
ready it is beginning to be

urged (emphasis mine). And
a movement to enforce Sunday
observance is fast gaining
ground." (GC 579-80)

And now 1 ask you to
compare this: (from Dr.
Gulley's These Times article)
"I wrote to Rev. H. Edward
Rowe, Executive Director of
the Religious Roundtable,
which convened the National
Affairs Briefing that met in
Dallas. I asked him, 'If it is
time for the Moral Majority to
let their influence be felt in
government, could this also
include influencing legislation
to make Sunday a day of
worship in our country?' His
reply: 'Legislation and procla-
mations by Presidents to urgg
(underlining Rowe's) it- yes."
(please note the underiined
"urge" in GC above)

Dr. Gulley continues, "Bill
Gothard's- seminar for mini-
sters, held in Washington,
D.C., this spring (1980) found
Gothard giving forceful ba-
cking to the idea of urging
(underlining mine) Sunday sa-
credness and acceptance of
America as a Christian nation.
My ministerial friends in
attendance told me of the
fervent reception the mini-
sters gave these concepts."

AWAKE SMCI

My friends, to ail of this I
simply plead, awakel Please
consider all of the indications
that point to the end as being
now. The moral majority is a
fact. Its ultimate designs are
surfacing. The current theo-
logical attacks on the church
and God's prophet are facts.
Combine this with the outright
statement that, "The very last
deception of Satan will be to
make of none effect the test-
imony of the Spirit of God." (1
Selected Messages, p. 48.]
This statement occurs several
places and the context without
questin clarifies that, this
means an attack upon, (1)
God's Word, and (2) the
writings of Ellen White.

Again, I've done no more
than set forth the facts. But I
am compelled to proclaim,
awaken dear friends! Are you
in the Ark? Please come in.
There's room for all of us even

SOFTBALL

The weather lately has tak-
en out one full week of games.
At present there is no sche-
dule to make up these "rain
games" due to the tight
scheduling of the coming flag-
ball season^

Ned Velasco's team has
been hit the hardest by the
weather. He had had four or
five games rained out, and
this has hurt his standings.
He still has not played Knight
or West for the first round.
The Western Division hasn't
changed much except for Jan-
sen moving up two places in

the standings to tie with Beitz
for fourth place. The Dorm
Tournament has been
changed in a couple of ways.
It is a single elimination
tournament instead of a dou-
ble elimination, and will be
played Sunday and Monday,
October 5 and 6. not Wed-
juesday and Thursday. These
changes are also due to the
rain and some scheduling
problems.

Coach Jaecks expressed his
thanks to all who are partici-

strutted to the podium. The

correct answer to the question
posed by the Great Teacher.
"By this all students will know

you as a disciple, if you get

This will enable you to live a

He took a step backward,
fully expecting a round of

Fcu^ulty Members Provide Entertainment for Students

Faculty members will be
entertaining students in their
homes this Saturday night,
Oct. 4. The student guests can
look forward to a variety of
activities: from cook-outs, to
camp-fires, fireplace acti-
vities, singing, playing Scrab-
ble, all sorts of indoor games,
making candy, pizza feeds,
seeing home movies, and
eating. There seems to be no
end to the many events being'

not received an invitation,

The "College Within a Col-

year is now underway. Having
been approved by the staff
and faculty of SMC in June of
1978. the CWC is designed to
provide students, faculty,
staff, and the community, with
educational information con-
cerning both hobby and aca-
demic interest.

The I „

variety of life-related subjects,
many of which do not fit into a
cours^ outline of the college.

CWC is financed and oper-
ated by the Student Asso-
ciation. Van Bledsoe, student

services director, is in charge
of the programs. Because
academic credit is given by the
college for CWC units, the
Academic Affairs Committee
is the governing board.

CWC is offering two-hour
courses for academic credit.
Twenty different CWC units
equal one hour of academic
credit. A total of 80 different
units or four semester hours
may be applied toward
graduation.

No basic charge is made for
each course. Depending on
the CWC course offered, there

may be a charge for materials
used. This must be paid in
cash before a CWC unit credit
is given. There will be a $5
charge to have the CWC credit
placed on your transcript.

A brochure will be dis-
tributed within the next two
weeks outlining the courses
offered.

==Viewpoint:

Ah, midsemester. That beloved time of tests,
discouragement, and general despair. Summer is a dim
memory and vacation but a dim hope. Is there, in fact,
rest for the weary? ,

Yes Definitely, firmly, and positively yes. After carenil
calculations and much calendar counting, I have come up
with some statistics that may, once again, give meaning
"back to life.

From today, Oct. 9, Thanksgiving vacation is a mere 49
days away. That means a measly 20 MWF classes and a
scant 14 TTH classes, and even better, only 12 chapels.
The number of studious Sundays is seven, which also
applies to Sabbaths and Saturday nights. There are, and
here's a sad note, a sparse six Southern Accents to
anticipate, and only two traffic courts on the agenda. Last
and certainly least, there is one, 1 repeat, one, lonely,
insignificant fire drill.

See, that's not so bad. We're almost there! And now,
armed with these words of encouragement, I bid you
all-happy hanging on! rriaC<i,

Take-over Coming From All Directions

To Whom it May Concern

Careful research into The
Southern Accent staff has
resulted in facts concerning
family ties which are appalling
and frightening. It appears we
are on the verge of a Smith/
Gilbert family take over of the
entire school. This research
shows it to be immanent.

Just recently The Southern
Accent staff moved into the
Sabbath School area-once the
spirit world is dominated, then
alas, all is gone. Rather than
to mention names, only rela-
tionship to the editor will be
given.

An aunt in high places
delves into the inner recesses
of the mind and serves as the
high master {or mistress).
Entire summers are spent in
planning sessions far removed
from Collegedale in the north
woods. The uncle, husband of
high (or head) master or
mistress continues to plan and
execute international forays to
establish a power base. This
fiddling around is well known,
but poorly understood for
what it really is! Thousands of
dollars pour through his hands
yearly in this grand scheme.

Cousins go forth about the
campus disseminating liter-
ature on tabloid newsprint to
solidify support for the un-
escapable. Cousins of cousins
maintain a complete file on

faculty on the campus. Major,
minor, sex-you know he has
the information. This ' same
relative has underwritten a
number of schemes by selling
to unsuspecting merchants.
The money furthers the over-
all cause-let there be no
mistake.

Why the money? Why the
file? Who knows!

Much is left to further
research. Just what ties holds
the staff together is not com-
pletely known, but it must
somehow fit into the overall

program.

All must arise and cast off
these subversive shackles!
SMC may become Smith
Memorial College with aunts
uncles, cousins and cronies as
the top administrators. Al-
ready a top administrator has
fallen. Soon the president
may be just a reporter for the

can duty to vote in the
presidential election, as well
as on temperance issues.
However, Inspiration says,
"Be ye not equally yoked
together with unbelievers." (2
Cor. 6:14)

"We cannot with safety
vote for political parties; for
we do not know whom we are
voting for. We cannot with
safety take part in any political
scheme.

' 'The first day of the week is
not a day to be reverenced. It
is a spurious sabbath, and the
members of the Lord's family
cannot participate with men
who exalt this day, and violate
the law of God by trampling
upon His Sabbath. The people
of God are not to vote to place
such men in office; for when
they do this, they are partak-
ers with them of the sins
which they commit while in
office."(G.W. p. 391-3)

What are we to do then?
Let political questions alone.

All three presidential cand-
idates exalt Sunday worship
and violate the Law of God.

The end of all things is at
hand. This could be the last
presidential election before
Jesus comes, if so. the next
president would enforce a

Sunday law.

One contender for the office
is backed by a strong evangel-
ical group of churches. They
claim that they have enough
votes to put him in office,
AND to pass any law which
they wish to. Of course, the
Sunday law is one of them.
Your vote for him will be a
sure vote for the Sunday law,
thus, you become a partaker
not only of his sins, but the
displeasure of God. The other
candidates are just as danger-
ous to our spiritual health, for
they are also violators of God's
law.

Inspiration further says.
"We are not as a people to
become mixed up with polit-
ical questions. All would do
well to take heed to the Word
of God. "Be ye not unequally
yoked together with unbeliev-
ers."(Matt. 28:19) (2 Selected

Messages 336,7)

"Let the dead bury the
dead. "(Matt. 8:22). Let the
Sunday-keepers fight for who |
they want to rule over them,
and let us stick to preaching |
the gospel.

It is "He (God) changeth |
the times and seasons:
removeth kings, and setteth
up kings. "(Dan. 2:21). Ves,
leave the political situation m
God's hand. All that He
expects of us is to follow the
great commission - "Go an
teach all nations"(Matt.28:l'?) |
warning them that the king^
dom of God is at hand, and
that Jesus' coming is of more
importance to our etern |
health than a political party.

Sincerely,
Larry Riddle

The College According to Ai

October 9. 1980/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/3

As I sat daydreaming in
class the other day, something
that the teacher made a
comment on jerked my atten-
tion back to reality and gave
me sweaty palms.

"There are some students
in college," he said in low and
emphatic tones, "who can't
even read beyond the third
grade level."

His statement seemed to
have very little effect on most
of the students in the class.
Some were sleeping too
soundly to even hear. Others
heard, but just shrugged
their shoulders in reply. For
me, however, it was different.
The professor's words haun-
ted me for the remainder of
the day and that night gave

me a nightmare I will never
forget.

I dreamt that I was entering
the lobby in Talge Hall where
The Southern Accent had just
been handed out. Students
were scattered around in little
groups reading and discussing
what had been read.

Suddenly I spied a large
group of students huddled in a
corner by themselves. Their
countenances told me that
something was wrong, so I
sauntered over and inquired
as to the nature of their
problem.

"Sir," one lad told me as
tears streamed down his
cheeks, "we can't read this."
He pointed to an article in the
paper and as I gazed in the

student park.

Daniel Benoit, freshman, construction technology. Lafay-

they're both good. I like the cartoons they show every
Friday afternoon in the banquet room aiso. I'd enjoy
giving Bible studies on Sabbath afternoon.

Jean Prouty, sophomore, nursing, Oshawa, ON - The
Saturday night programs have been pretty good so far.
Wish 1 knew what was going on farther ahead of time.

Mary Comstom, sophomore, nursing, Decatur, AL ■ I wish
they'd have more color pictures in the annual. I like the
Joker. I wish they'd put phone numbers in the Joker.

Steven Dickerhoff, junior, history, Atlanta, GA - I
especially like the Southern Accent, which is sponsored by
the SA. It is a great way for the students to express their
views. That statement may not be funny, but what do you

Scuba Diving Club
David Fedusenko

A club for Scuba Divers,
sponsored by CABL Mini-
stries, will hold its first meet-
tig Thursday, Oct 9, at 5 p.m.
in the Cube Room of the
Student Center.

The club is being formed
due to a lack of diving acti-
vities in the Chattanooga area.
According to the club director,
David Fedusenko, "Many
times after a diver has fin-
ished his basic training
course, the gerson drops out
of diving due to the lack of

diving opportunities. The club
will aid in diving trips to local,
state, and regional areas* ' '
Fedusenko is a college
graduate of the National
Association of Scuba Diving
Schools college in San Diego,
California.

Some of the club lectures
will involve topics on diving
safety, maintainence, and care
of diving equipment. A diving
directory with lists of fellow
student divers and diving
'■jcations will also be offered.

SOFTBALL

There was another week of
bad weather that cancelled all
but a couple of games. One
game in particular was a real
upset, it was in the Western
Division. Kuhlman, who
started off the season very
strong and is presently tied for
second place, met Parra who
has been in last place most of
eason. Kuhlman took off
with a six to two lead, but
Parra came back with two

Nothing happened until the
bottom of the sixth inning with
Parra scoring six more runs to
make it a score of 10 to 6.
Khulman's team got their bats
for the top of the seventh. It
seemed like they would pull
through when they made three
runs and the tying runner on
third, but Parra fmished that
inning quickly to win the game
10 to 9. Coach Jaecks was very
happy with the attitude that
was shown in the game. There
was a spirit of having a good
time and that is what the game
is all about.

The single-elimination dorm
tournament started off well
Monday night. Here is a brief

summary of the way it ended
up and the scores.

Second floor was really psy-
ched for the game with Leo-
nard, Price, and Spears hitting
seven home runs during the
three games. They blew away
the RA's and the faculty, and
started off with three runs in
the first inning of the cham-
pionship game with first floor.
First floor began with two
runs, but were not able to
keep it going. In the books, it
looks as though first floor
should have come through
with 11 hits versus no hits and
a couple of errors versus eight
errors by second. There were
a couple of questionable calls
by the umpires, but they did a
good job and kept the game
well under control.

TENNIS

This Monday the 13th at
noon is the last day to have
your results reported to the

JJie Marathon of Life

A twenty-six mile marathon
was scheduled for all the
joggers of the world. The
Promoter, desiring a large
number of runners, widely
publicized His race. His ad-
vertising campaign was a suc-
cess for many applications
flooded the mail. Excitement
mounted as the time drew
, One could see athletes
practicing every hour of the
day, preparing for this major

endurance test. The Promoter
announced what the prize
would be and those preparing '
to run were astonished. He
promised eternal life to all
who would finish the race.

The hour finally arrived. A
large army of runners massed
at the starting line, anticipat-
ing the official's gun. As the
sharp report of the pistol
crackled through the air, a
of humanity surged for-

ward and the marathon was
underway.

But as the Promoter looked
down at the starting line, a
mask of disappointment
clouded his face. For lingering
there was a small group of
joggers, acting as if the race
had not begun.

"We weren't ready for the
starter's gun," the would-be-
runners whined. "Further-
more, you didn't tell us when
the race would start."

' 'I told you to be ready at all
times for in such an hour as ye
think not..." The Promoter's
voice was drowned out by an
incessant chorus of bitter
complaints.

"We don't need your race.
We will run elsewhere! ' '
They flung the angry words
back at the Promoter as they
headed for their cars.

"There is no other race,"
the Promoter said, biit His
voice was not heard. Tears
moistened His eyes as the
foolish joggers departed,
never to run again.

The Promoter climbed into

His car and motored to the
halfway point of the race. Soon
the leading runners would be
in sight. Realizing how thirsty
they would be. He placed
some of His ' ' living water' ' on
a long table. As they came into
view, the Promoter began
waving His arms and shouting
loudly, "Living water, living
waterl ' '

The fastest runners paid no
attention to the yelling Pro-
moter. They continued sp6ed-
down the road, as if they had
heard nothing. He continued
to shout.

Finally, someone noticed
Him. ' 'I can't afford your
living water," the racer said
as he continued running. "My
living water is free," the
Promoter replied. The runner
did not hear. He was far down
the road.

Soon someone else spied
the waving arms. "I'm not
thirsty," he declared. "If I
need water, I'll get it else-
where." "There is no other

fountain," the Promoter said,
but the wind caught His words
and they went unnoticed.
Salty tears fell unashamedly to
the pavement for the Promoter
knew dehydration would soon
force these runners out of the
race. The Promoter remained
at His table as group after
group of self-sufficient run-
ners trotted by. Finally, just as
He was beginning to think no
one would stop, a tired group
of runners plodded over to the
table.

"Do you have any water?"
they eagerly asked. The
Promoter replied excitedly,
"Drink as much as you can. It
is the only way to finish the
marathon."

As the racers quickly dra-
ined glass after glass of the
refreshing fluid, these words
echoed in their minds,
"Whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely. Who-
soever drinketh of the water
that I shall give him shall
never thirst." (Revelation
22:17, John 4:14)

SMC to Receive Alumni Fund

Deborah Bagger

Southern Missionary Col-
lege stands to receive
$582,500 within the next five
years due to the Business
Executives' Challenge to
Alumni Fund, reports SMC's
President, Dr. Frank Knittel.

The BECA Fund is offering
SMC $211,000 if the partici-

alun

increases from its present 6
percent to 21 percent in the
next five years. This incentive
could generate between
$300,000 and $371,000 of new
gifts, according to
, present schedules.

During the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, 1980, 322 alumni
contributed $25,760. This is
approximately 6 percent of the
t 5,328 alumni.

If, by June 30. 1981, this

; figure has risen to $57,000,

and at least 643 alumni parti-

:ipate. the BECA Fund will

i award SMC a $63,000 grant.

be content with a 6 percent
level?"

BECA will award a dollar
for each alumni dollar rece-
ived beyond last years total of
$25,760 up to $57,000. That's
a maximum of $31,500. If only
$50,000 is contributed the
fund will pay proportionately
less.

BECA will also award $98
for each new donor up to 321.
Again, if there are less than
321 donors, the fund will pay
proportionately less. These
two amounts will constitute
the BECA grant.

The alumni gifts must be
within S5 and $2,500 in order
to qualify for BECA matching
purposes.

This program will also gene-
rate revenue from corpora-
tions and foundations.

President Knittel commen-
ted: "The Alumni Challenge
Fund is one of the most

innovative and exciting pro-
grams to ever come about
the financing of Seventh day
Adventist Christian higher
education. Why didn't we do it
sooner for our students?

"SMC is going to invest

Among our constant concerns
are student aid. opportunities
to help our teachers enrich
their abilities, the library the \
operating budget and some
capital expenditures. I am
confident that SMC will be the
better because of this unique
and at the same time mean-
ingful challenge to our alumni.

"Although we appreciate all
contributions, the unrestricted
gifts are the most valuable and
useful. We trust that our
alumni will find in the SMC
Alumni Loyalty Fund a vehicle
of contributing to their alma

Religion Department Begins Field Seminar Program

Ron Watkins

Southern Missionary Col-
lege's Field Seminar Program,
in process for the current
academic year, began October
4 and will last through April

1981. Each year the Division
of Religion sponsors its senior
ministerial students in con-
ducting worship services at
Seventh-day Adventist

the

iding

churches
region.

This year, 23 student mini-
sters receive opportunity to
conduct worship and some-
times Sabbath school services
once a month at 20 cooper-
ating churches.

The Field Seminar Program'
provides responsible labora-
tory experience for the stu-
dents in their dynamic ap-
plication of concepts learned
in class. The program is
mutually beneficial to the
students and to the various
church congregations who ap-
preciate the diversion.

Though the'program is in
limited operation during the
summer, churches are contac-
ted by the Division of Religion

to arrange for their coopera-
tion through the fall and
spring semesters.

This year 20 churches are
participating in the surroun-
ding region within a radius of
110 miles including the states
of Tennessee, Georgia, and
South Carolina.

Although seniors are given
priority, juniors may partici-
pate when there is an oppor-
tunity. The students are paid
an expense allowance of 12
cents per mile driven.

The students are assigned
to a different church every
month. They may choose their
own sermon topics, however,
the church pastors may ask
that certain sensitive issues

not be elaborated.

Occasionally, the students
are expected to coordinate
special music and Sabbath
school, thus experiencing all
the Sabbath exercises of the
church pastor.

In the past years tne stu-
dents were required to turn in
a cassette tape recording of
one of their sermons along
with an outline for the purpose
of professional examination
and suggestions. This requi-
rement was eliminated this
year, but plans are being
discussed to require this as-
signment again next year. The

;Viewpoint

Are you going to participate or not? After all, what have
vou got to lose but a good time?

' Fall Festival Week is fast approaching and I want to see
our campus throw aside daily attire and break away from
all their appropriate dress.

REMEMBER: Participation is the name of the game.
American Heritage defraes it as "to take part; jom or
share with others." That means everyone, tall & short
old & young, shy & even you bold ones. After all, with
Thanksgiving far in the future and no relief m sight, what
more could you ask for than a week to be out ot the
ordinary, laugh, compare, and really strut your stuff?

Artangements have been made to allow these different
types of dress into the cafeteria, chapel, ect.

What makes a week like this fun is when everyone throws
avyay feelings of self-consciousness and dives into each
day with zeal. After all, what is the good of it if only a few
participate and show willingness to take part in the
function with others, and the "others" are standing on the
sides, feeling left out and maybe a bit guilty for
demonstrating lack of interest.

There is another aspect we still have to cover and that is
our beloved faculty. After all, they have had more years to
collect all these "darling & daring" articles and can help
with the show. 1 know some of them have had exciting
experiences and have saved those certain articles for
"nostalgia" purposes. So drag it out, hang it up to air,
and join in the fun.

Are you going to participate? You bet you are cause you
want more fun weeks to be developed to break the
monotony of campus life. So after all, what have you got
to lose but a good time.?

Another Look at Christians Voti

Dear Editor:

Quite a few students were
glad to see the article up-
holding the standards of ins-
piration concerning the com-
ine presidential election. I'm
sorty that Brother Strayer and
I do not see eye to eye on this
important subject.

First, let me echo the words
of James White in Review and
Herald, Aug. 12, 1862 (p. 84)
of which Brian Strayer quoted
only three words-"We are at
the present enjoying the pro-
tection of our civil and reli-
gious rights by the best gover-
nment under heaven," but -----

harmony, in Christian fellow-
ship. They will not wear
political badges, but the
badge of Christ.

"What are we to do, then?
-- Let political questions alone.
'Be ye not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for
what fellowship hath right-
eousness with unrighteous-
ness?'...The word fellowship
means participation, partner-
ship. God employs the strong-
est figures to show that there
should be no union between

erance issues."

The only issue which inspi-
ration forbids Seventh-day
Adventists their voting privi-
leges is in the political

lowing testimony is given.

"Whatever the opinions you

Strayer said I misquoted
Matthew 28:19. but that com-
plete paragraph was a direct
quote from the Servant of the
Lord. Selected Messages book
2. p. 336-7. There is a chapter
in "Fundamentals of Christian
Education" entitled "Poli-

read very carefully as it states
our true stand on this political

The College According to Am

The semester has reached
the halfway point and has
come to the place where you.
if you're an average student,
feel as though you are in a rut
as big as Howard Cosell's
mouth. For this reason I have
decided to share some ex-
cerpts from my latest book,
102 Ways To Cure the Mid-
Semester Blues. The book was
originally written for those
ambitious, yet disenchanted,
freshmen who thought study-
ing was the only form of
entertainment during those
formidable college years.
Many others; however, have
found that the book has added
a new dimension to their lives
and has given them that false
sense of security which one so
desperately needs in these
perilous times.

(Note: 1 have left the num-
bers preceding the ideas the
same as they are found in my
book.)

1. Raise your hand in the
middle of Bible class and ask 53. Kiss a frog,
your teacher if he wants to 58. Hold yoi
hear a good joke.
9. Ride an elephant to chapel

wildly waving at the traffic cop
as you ride by him.

17. Stand in the middle of the
mall while looking up and
pointing.

18. Call a friend and ask him if
he has a 23'/^ Watt light bulb
you can borrow.
24. Hum "Dixie" to the
cafeteria server as she serves

29. Write a 13 page letter to
The Southern Accent editor.
31. Ask a CK worker if you can
have a bucket of grease to use
in yom chemistry class.

34. Leave a French Fry on
your teacher's desk with a
note saying "I don't have an
apple."

35. Set up a minature golf
course in the dorm lobby.

39. Call up WSMC every five
minutes and ask if it's time for
sacred favorites yet.

40. Take your roommate
hostage.

45. Wear a button proclaiming
"Re-elect President Knittel".

62. Send an "Insight" to

Ayatollah Khomeni.

71. Take a sauna in your suit.

77. Stand in the middle of

Eastgate Mall and yell, "I'm a

shop-lifter!"

86. Call lost and found and ask

them if they have found your

pet cobra.

89. Count your $100 bills.

93. Stand up in the cafeteria

and propose a toast.

96. Brush your teeth with

shampoo,

98. Play cops and robbers with

campus security.

101. Draw a picture of E. 0.

anteed to open new doors in

Times Gone By

=d

The following is a compilation of rules and standards
upheld by Southern Missionary College from its verv
beginning in 1918 up until more recent days.

carefully guarded by the faculty.

The good ol' days come back to life. Old friends relive
fond memories of past times they have shared. Long walks
along the college campus create nostalgic feelings and
moods. Worn paths where many students often traveled
are now modern buildings. The faces are younger, the
scenery is different. But the memories of college life past
still lingers and stays young through their lives.

The changes have been many since they've last been
here. The campus has expanded, the faculty and
administration have grown. Yet, the biggest change this
school has experienced is the change in the regulations on
campus.

There are so many times that it is impossible for some of
us to be in school before curfew. 10:30 p.m. is just too
inconvenient to be in. Consider this schedule from 1918, it
may assist in regulating your time.

For those of us who just don't have the time to work, the
very idea of being required to work would not set well with
us. "Southern Training School Board approved a plan that
all students living in the college be required to work at
least 12 hours a week on manual labor. They are paid
according to its value and carefulness in performance."'

Guess what's missing In this picture?

These days, everything is over-priced. Inflation has
taken quite a bite from our pockets. Whatever happened
to the days when a gallon of milk cost 76 cents and a loaf of
bread 15 cents? What happened to the old days when a
gallon of gas was only 52 cents? And how about tuition
expenses here at SMC?

2) Gentlemen will not be allowed to escort ladies to (

In order to build school status, it has been the
philosophy of SMC that this school develops a person's
character. It was also expressed that "the location of this
institution tends to moral elevation rather than depravity.
Drunkeness is rarely seen on our streets."

These were just a few of the rules that were to be
followed by attending students. Below are j'jst a few more.

1) Students will not be allowed to receive or make calls
on the Sabbath, except it to be to or from members of
the faculty.

2) Borrowing is a bad practice and is to be discontinued.

3) Loud and boisterous talking or laughing in the
buildings or about the premises are always out of place
and such habits should be discontinued.

The Men's Realdence Home back In 1916

4) Permission for ordinary leaves of absence from the
campus is to be obtained from the dean of men or the
dean of women. (This meant that whenever the student
left the campus for any reason he needed permission
from the dean.)

5) All unmarried students not residing with their
parents or legal guardians are not allowed, except by
permission of the president, to maintain and operate a
motor vehicle.

This school has existed a long time. It has endured
everything from the World Wars, to the Stock Market
Crash, and the following Depression. Old rules have been
laid to rest, while new ones are born with every uprising in
the seldom quiet dorms.

SMC holds a small history of so many peoples' lives.
This coming weekend. Alumni Homecoming, look for
these people. Watch how closely they hold the memories
of SMC to their hearts, notice how fondly they speak of the
"great times" they've had.

Then remind yourself that what you'i
ome day be a memory like theirs.

Introspect: wisdom from Kings & W

iseman!

"We have a special guest at

today." the raspy voice of Dr.
Knittel stated. "He simply
calls himself 'Master.' He
would like to present a cash
award of $50,000 to three of
our top graduates. In five
years, he plans to contact
them and see how they have
used the money."

At this announcement, an
aura of silence covered the
gymnasium. The seniors were
amazed at the large amount of
money being awarded. Each
one secretly hoped that he
would be the lucky one chos-
en. They were breathless with
anticipation as the Master
stepped to the microphone.

"John Monroe."

The audience applauded po-
litely as John's name was
announced and he strode to
the platform to collect his
check".

John's business acumen
and 4.0 grade-point average
were well-known throughout
the school. Truly he was one
of the finest products ever
produced by the business
department. The smile on his
face as he retook his seat
revealed that he already had
plans for his money.

The Master called out the
second name. Charles John-
son walked to the front to
pockethis check. It came as no
surprise to the students to see

Charles receive this award.
Being one of the school's top
theology majors, his prospects
for a successful future were
enviable. His fellow students
were sure that Chuck would
invest the money wisely.

Herb Harris rose as the
Master announced the final
name. The seniors gasped in
su^)rise as Herb humbly ac-
cepted his check. No one had
expected Herb to receive the
award. In fact, hardly anyone
even knew who Herb was.

One year, two. three, five
years rolled by. At the end of
this period of time the Master
returned, eager to see what
his protege's had done with
their money.

John Monroe had encoun-
tered no trouble. From the
day of graduation he had
invested wisely, and was now
the owner of a large depart-
ment store.

As the Master entered
John's posh office, he was
greeted by a smiling secre-

"May I h;lp you?" she
asked politelj .

"Yes," the Master replied.
"I would like to see Mr.
Monroe."

"He's a very busy man,"
the secretary stated. "I doubt
if he has time right now."

To this the Master replied,
"Just tell him his Master is

here."

The secretary pressed a
button and spoke into the
office intercom, "Mr. Mon-
roe, there's someone here to
see you. He claims to be your
Master."

There was a moment of
strained silence. An impatient
voice crackled back over the
intercom. "I'm sorry, I don't
have any Master."

The Master turned and
slowly walked away.

Hoping to receive a better
reception., he next went to the
home of Qiarles Johnson.

Elder Johnson had used his

money to obtain his doctor's
degree and was now pastor of
a large church. As the Master
walked up the sidewalk to his
house, the front door opened
and out burst Pastor Johnson.
"Master, good to see you
again," he said. "Say, I have
to run now. We'll have to talk
sometime," and with that he
was off in a new Oldsmobile.
The Master shed a tear or two
as he retraced his steps over
the sidewalk.

Herb Harris had used a
large part of his money to help
a brother and sister through

academy. With the remaining
portion he had built a humble
cottage at the edge of a
country village.

As the Master advanced
toward this small abode, he
wondered as to what kind of
reception he would meet with.
Would he be unappreciated as
at the other places? His pace
quickened as he saw the
cheery glow of a fire through
the window. Finally, he stood
before the front door and tears
of joy began to fall. For a sign
above the doorway read,
"Welcome Masterl"

Exc-Aerobic Class
Benefits SMC Women

Ginni Lingerfelt

An Exc-Aerobic class, un-
der the direction of Kelly
Wygal, a senior health science
major, has beep started for the
women of SMC. The class
meets on Tuesday and Thurs-
day evenings from 8 to 9 p.m.
for faculty women, and from 9
to 10 p.m. for students in the
PE Center.

The objective of the class is
to get the participants in
shape aerobically, but without
the drudgery. Exc-Aerobics
deals mainly in cardio-
vascular exercises. These exe-
rcises are the type which are

most effective in reducing
excess body fat and protecting
against coronery heart
diease.

Wygal has worked up a 40
minute non-stop routine that
is choreographed to music.
This routine works from neck
to toes and back up again,
with variations introduced
throughout the semester. Next
semester an entirely new rou-
tine will be made.

The class size is limited to
20 for the faculty and 35 for
students. The cost is $10 for
the entire year.

Heppenstall to Lecture at SMC

The distinguished Adventist
theologian Edward Heppen-
stall will be the first lecturer in
the new "Perspective" series
being launched by the SMC
Division of Religion this
weekend. Heppenstall will.
lecture in a number of religion
classes on Friday, (Oct. 31)
and will speak three times on
Sabbath-Nov. 1 (8:10 a.m.,
11:20 a.m., and 2:30 p.m.) in
Talge Chapel. The Sabbath
lectures will be taped.

Heppenstall (79) is well-
known throughout the world
as the leading systematic
theologian of Adventism and
has served as cognate or major
professor for seven of the
nine professors presently
teaching in the SMC Division
of Religion. He was born in
England, where he converted
to Adventism in his early
twenties, attended Stan-
borough College, and later
came to America where he
graduated from Emmanuel
Missionary College. His gra-
duate work was done at the
University of Michigan (M.A.
1934), and the University of
Southern California (Ph.D.,
1951). He also holds an
honorary Doctor of Divinity
from Andrews University.

Heppenstall has a long and

impressive record as a pastor,
college and seminary profes-
sor, writer, speaker, and
thought leader. He is the
author of four books including
the significant theological
works--Our High Priest,
Salvation Unlimited, and The
Man Who is God. all of which
are used as textbooks on this
campus. He has also written
extensively for such journals
as Ministry, Signs of the
Times, and These Times.

The ever-controversial
Adventist doctrine of the
Sanctuary has been thrust into
the forefront of current atten-

thr.

the

tionalism surrounding the
Adventist Forum presentation
last October of Australian
theologian Desmond Ford,
who Heppenstall has called
' 'one of my most brilliant
students." But it was Hep-
penstall who called Ford's
attention to serious difficulties
in the historical Adventist
presentation of the doctrine.
While Ford has become
popularly known as the pre-
dominant agitator of the ques-
tion. Heppenstall. his
seminary professor, has con-
tinually pled for theological
and biblical responsibility in
Adventism regarding this ?nd

other doctrines.

"Probably no one in the
Adventist church today is
more qualified." said Edwin
Zackrison. SMC Associate
Professor of Religion, "to
speak on the subject of the
sanctuary from a theological
perspective than Dr. Hep-
penstall." He taught the sub-
ject for the ten years he was
chairman of the Department of
Christian Philosophy and The-
ology at the SDA Theological
Seminary, and the twenty
years he was the professor of
Theology at La Sierra College
and Loma Linda University.
He has authored a book on the
subject as well as several
apologetic articles which
appeared in the years when
the church was defending
itself against the Barnhouse-
Martin probes (1950s) and the
Brinsmead agitation (1960s).
He served on the historic
Daniel ?on:mittr-e cf the
General Conference, the
Biblical Research Institute,
and various sub-committees
studying the sanctuary ques-
tions. He has lectured on the
subject all over the world.

Heppenstall is not without
his critics, Zackrison con-
tinued. A prominent professor
at Andrews University has
said publically of his
influence, "no one will ever be

able to estimate the damage
Ted Heppenstall has done to
the Adventist Church."
"However," concluded Zack-
rison. "many of Dr. Heppen-
stall's students will counter
that his greatest "damage' is
perhaps the fact that he insists
his students become thinkers
rather than mere parrots of
dogma; and has a result, he
has always posed a threat to
the uncritical mind in general
and the propoganda of the
institution in particular." For
Heppenstall Adventism is
rooted in the scriptures and
the quest for a biblically

consistent and sound faith is
never-ending and worth all

"Perspective" is a part of
the new face of the Division of
Religion is attempting to pre-
sent to the public. The Divi-
sion feels keenly the need to
be more aggressive in keeping
the college and Collegedale
community aware of the latest
theological developments in
the Adventist church with a
view to their experiential imp-
lications. At least three pre-
sentations are planned for the
1980-81 school year.

2/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/October 30, 1980

f In many elections, there are assertions that the time
now for a change in American's political leadership.

Never before in the history of our country has a
president had to defend such a record of inconsistence anS
declining defense program.

President Jimmy Carter has created some of the worst
conditions our country has suffered since the Depression
of the 1930s, with a monetary policy with 18 percent
inflation, a 16 percent interest rates and over eight million
Americans unemployed.

If now is not the time, America may never have tne
chance to change the liberal policies of F.D.R. and the
New Deal which have been reinforced over the past 40
years.

But Washington's policies are the product of our elected
officials, which in turn, are the product of our votes.

If you want elected officials and a president coramited to
effective anti-inflationary efforts, a balanced budget,
increased productivity, and the elimination of unnecessary
government regulation, then we must vote accordingly.

Ronald Reagan offers hope. Hope that Americans can
put its people back to work, control inflation and restore
our nation's defense. His proven record in California is a
prime example.

The strong support of Congressmen like Dr. Glen Byers
to a Reagan Administration can only help change
America's future.' And locally. Bill Bennett is College-
dale's man for proper representation on the County
Commission.

A change is needed from the courthouse to the White
House, Do your part, and vote-Reagan. Byers, and
Bennett.

Nerd Day Questioned

Dear Editor:

By what sort of process have
we associated a "nerd" with
pocket calculators? (In earlier
times we associated "nerd-
ness" with squares, and in
still earlier times with long
hair (I) music.) I have met
people who disliked pocket
calculators (technology) and
squares (quantitative think-
ing) and classical music
(formal modes of expression)
and who were untidy,
uncouth, and insensitive to
others. I have met people who
were immersed in technology,
quantitative thinking and/or
formal modes of expression
and who were impeccably
neat, courteous, and deeply
understanding of others. In
these often-made associa-
tions, lacking in statistical
support, I see a desire to
deprecate the rational in favor
of the romantic or even irra-
tional, to put down the res-
ponsible in favor of the groovy
or even irresponsible, to bad-
mouth part of what is the
image of God in favor of much
less. The way for this was
prepared decades ago when a
division between the logical,
conceptual part of our minds
and the emotional, intuitive
part was suggested-or was it
centuries ago? As one who
experiences intense emotional
responses (positive ones) to
abstract mathematical des-

criptions of nature or classical thinking

orchestrations, and whose

work (research and teaching)

depends partly on flashes of

intuition I urge that we try to

avoid thinking that disciplined Ray Hefferlin

;The College

October 30, 1980/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/3

According to Art Jordan

With the presidential elec-
tion just about upon us I have
been hearing some doubts
expressed as to the capabili-
ties of this year's candidates.
Some feel that re-electing
Jimmy Carter might be taken
as an endorsement for a new
fuel called "peanutrol" to be

sed

the

the

energy crisis. Others feel that
a vote for Ronald Reagan is a
vote to move Talge Hall to the
middle east. Here the men's
dormitory would serve as an
army base for the male SMC

uden

uld

fighting in Iran. Then there
are those who feel that John
Anderson, if elected, would
raise the price of gas and thus
put the horse and buggy back
on the interstates.

All of these views are
probably correct. I have,
therefore, in an effort to
provide some reasonable
alternatives, compiled a list of
possible nominees. These. I
feel, are the people that we
should be choosing between;

Richard Nixon. Many feel
that his involvement in the
Watergate coverup make him
unfit to be a president. I don't
know why they make such a
big deal out of this minor
break in. So what if the
burglars hadn't been caught?
If Washington is anything like
Collegedale the only thing the
President could have heard
over the Democrat's bugged
phones would have been
"tick, tick, tick, tick...".

Kermit the Frog. A definite
possibility. This young star
has demonstrated amazing
leadership potential. The pos-
sibility of having Miss Piggy
as our First Lady would be
sure to draw millions of votes.
If this does become a reality
we could then be admonished
to "go kiss a president."

E. O. Grundset. If this
celebrity could be convinced to
renegotiate his 40 year con-
tract for teaching FB, he could
pave the way for a new era in
American history. He has the

Introspect: con

where other personal and
social reforms are needed he
will preserve the status quo?

Voting is an activity tor
adults--people who are
mature and intelligent on the
issues. I cannot be held res-
ponsible if the candidate for
whom I vote breaks his pro-
mise or changes his policies
once he is in office. That is not
what I voted for. I voted for
Nixon the true not Nixon the
fraud. I am responsible for
being informed on a candi-

type of drive it takes to
stimulate the economy and
would probably be found
staying up late at night
studying the deflated Amer-
ican dollar with a microscope.

Melissa Smith and Dana
West. Certianly a team to
consider. Probably the great-
est duo since Bonnie and
Clyde. They have promised, if
elected, to put a Southern
Accent in every American's
hands. Their nomination
would be the best thing that
happened since Carter choked
on peanut butter.

Muhammed Ali. The time is
right for America to start
showing some muscle. Why
should Ali stand in the
unemployment line when this
country needs a strong leader.
If any foreign dictator dared
threaten this country the for-
mer champ would have some
words for him. "We're the
greatest. If you lay a finger on
this pretty little country, I'll
knock you into the second
Thursday of next week."

Bo Derrick. In this age of
equal rights why not a pre-
sident who can make the
centerfold of "Playboy"? Just

between Bo and Brezhnev
during the SALT talks. "Okay,
Leonoid, Russia will cease
building nuclear weapons but
will allow the U.S. to continue
production." "Sure Bo, any-
thing you say." "In addition.
Russia will destroy all existing
weapons." "Fine, sweet-
heart, now how about coming
over to my place for a cup of
hot vodka?" "Not until you
sign this treaty, Leo."

Art Jordan. Definitely the
best of any of the choices. A
guaranteed success. College-
dale's native son (that's bound
to get him a couple dozen
votes). He can't smile like
Carter, but his dentist is
working on it. The choice is
obvious-ART JORDAN FOR

A review of the candidates

What is your position on abortion?

How do you expect to reduce ttie
rate of inflation?

Stiould income taxes te cut, and if
so, how?

John Anderson

There are circumstances when it should be possible to
terminate an unwanted pregnancy. [Ed. Note: Supports
taxpayer funding of abortions.]

Balance the budget. Then do something about lagging
productivity by selective tax cuts to stimulate savings and
investment.

Indexing for inflation is preferable to across-the-board tax
cuts. To stimulate capital formation, rates should be
reduced on savings and investment income.

What is your position on the Equal
Rights Amendment?

strong supporter of the Equal Rights

What does our defense budget
need?

My basic thesis is that our real strength as a country lies

What is your position on SALT II?

My feeling is that if SALT II i
believe it is-than let's ratify it.

What would bie your position in
dealing with the Soviet Union?

Sanctions against the Soviets for their actions are essential
to show that the United States can inflict pain or have
cooperative relations.

al rights?

{Anderson is a co-sponsor ofH.R. 2074, a bill to amend the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include homosexuals.]

Do you think limiting federal spend-
ing by law or by amendment would
be beneficial?

No. Amending the Constitution would be too inflexible.
Strict limitations on the growth in spending would be
preferable.

Do you support or oppose the death
penalty?

"Anderson declares his outright opposition to the death
penalty."-lVasftington Star, January 9, 1980.

What is your position on forced
busing to achieve racial integra-
tion?

Do you support the drafting of
women?

[Anderson voted against H.R. 7555, a bill to prohibit the
use of federal funds for busing students further than the
t their home.]

What is your position on voluntary
school prayer?

Frankly, my greater concern
in this discussion is the cons-
tant appeal to make Ellen
White into a surrogate brain
for me thereby leaving the
distinct impression that she
was a clone of God. Voting,
along with a thousand other
specifics (such as drinking Dr.
Pepper) is something left to
the intelligent decision-

Christian, who, as in any other
life pursuit, does not really
need more "statements," so
much as he needs "the mind
of Christ."

Introspect: wisdom from Kings & Wiseman!

October 30, 1980/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/7

The Seventh-day Adventist
position on the ethics of voting
in a political election is very
simple: Each church member
is to make up his own mind.

Anyone who insists on any
other stance is just out of
touch with Adventist tradition
and runs the serious risk of
projecting unwarranted guilt
on his brothers and sisters in
the church due to his own
private opinions on the sub-
ject. Nonetheless, every four
years the issue arises again
and the sides line up around
those who see no issue, and
those who would control the
lives of other Christians in
every area from dress length
to the drinking of Dr. Pepper.

Adventists have never taken
a categorical stand for or
against voting in a political
election, nor has Ellen White,
the chief source for formu-
lators of Adventist tradition.

Briefly put. her position
was: 1. that the intelligent
Christian will not vote indis-
criminately or unintelligently;
2. that no pastor has the right
to make of his pulpit a political
soapbox because in so doing
he would be taking unfair
advantage of the people who
have come to hear the gospel

preached; and 3. that those
who vote (or do not vote) must
share some responsibility for
the decisions made bv those
whom they have helped put in
office. There is no substantial
evidence that voting per se
was ever an issue for her.

What Ellen White wrote on
the subject of voting and
politics is so sensible and
self-evident that it hardly
requires special inspiration to
arrive at her conclusions. Un-
fortunately, some Adventists
seem to need a statement or a
quotation from her to mark
almost every move of any
given day as though God
somehow never intended the
brain to function in any other
capacity than as the channel
through which supernatural
forces flowed. As a result,
cohesive and issue-oriented
thinking is often quite thin.

The mind was given to
Christians to make respon-
sible and reasonable deci-
sions. Sensible thinking is not
to be sacrificed at conversion.
Rather. Christians should
exhibit and employ all the
facets of the mind: memory
judgment, perception and
reasoning. And there are

areas of action in the Christian
life which must be decided by
one using the mind that is
being conformed to and trans-
formed by the mind of Christ.

In the light of this philosop-
hical consideration should a
Christian vote? Some Chris-
tians have the fantasy that
they do not live in the worid.
But it is no thanks to those
kind of Christians that we
have any freedoms here at all.
To refuse to vote does not
solve the problem for in that
refusal is the casting of a vote.
If one who votes becomes
responsible for the decisions
of the one for whom he voted,
then the one who refuses to
vote becomes responsible for
the actions and decisions of
everyone who got into office.
For that reason, the argument
against voting can result in a
most serious shirking of
Christian responsibility.

Let's admit it-Adventists
have their quirks too. Some
Adventists have grown up
under the assumption that no
democrat could make a good
president, or that all Catholics
are evil. Such assumptions
need to be challenged. Do we
only judge people by their
party or religious affiliation?
Or should we not have learned
by now thai a person's cha-
racter is important? To vote
categorically for the Repub-
lican party or only for Protes-
tants seems dangerous to me,

Some of those who fall in our
"acceptable categories" pose
a greater threat to personal
freedom than some atheists.

Adventists have historically
encouraged their members to
vote for such issues as reli-
gious liberty and temperance
reforms. Yet overly conscien-
tious brothers and sisters act
as though this means a loyal
Adventist will only vote for
reforms which concern Adven-

tists. I think such a stance is
unintelligent, parochial, and
even selfish. Why should we
wish for a president who
refuses to impose Sunday
legislation while at the same
time showing no concern whe-
ther he stands for the equal
rights of women or minorities?
Why are we so concerned
about keeping in office people
who will share our unique
perspective while in areas

As I lie huddled under three thermal blankets and
quilt with cold water streaming down my neclt and back
-^ from my not entirely rinsed hair, I got to thinking about all
' the things I usually do with electricity at 7 a.m.

1.1 usually turn on the lights; they help me see. Lights
also help me coordinate my outfit.

2. Sometimes, I use hot water for showers; it helps me
get the cream rinse out of my hair.

3. OccassionalUy, I pause to look at my GE electric
clock/radio; it lets me know if I'm on schedule or not.

4. Once in a while, when something is obstructing my
view of the clock, I'll hesitate for a second and listen to the
sweet tinkline of the chimes wafting over the. foggy
morning air; at least I know that because of the time
change it's only an hour off.

5. When I feel up to it, I'll heat some water for a cup of
Instant Swiss Miss with minimarshmellows to give me
some quick energy for lit. class.

6. Once in a blue moon, I'll turn on the radio and listen
to all my friends on WSMC expounding on the news,
weather, and time; it makes me happy.

7. If I feel like being presentable, I'll whip
in make-up mirror and slap some make-up
other people happy.

However, Wednesday, as 1 lie shivering i

about all the things 1 usually do without electricity at 7.

program. About 259 students
were involved, although 4
were lost because they did not
put down their ID number,
and another 7 put it down
incorrectly. There were 15S
girls and 101 men involved
(come 00 guys, let's hustlel),
of which only 25 did not get
anyone. This is due either to
incorrectly filling out the form,
or missing a question, or just
being plain too picky.

I have been asked when the
next run will be. I am tenta-
tively setting a target date of
November 3-7 for the next
run, so that the programs on
November 15,22, and 23 are
covered. After that, the spon-
sorship of the program by the
Math Sciences Division will
end. If any organization
wishes to sponsor a run, just
come to me with a list of
questions about three weeks
ahead of time. The main cost
is printing up the forms (about
$17 per 500 forms), and I will
run and distribute the results
without charge.

One last thing. SMC's com-
puter took 4800 CPU seconds
to match up 259 students.
That's about one and a third

November 6, 1980/THE SOITTHERN ACCENT/3

The College According to Art Jordan!

First it was "Dear Abby",
then it was "Dear Ann", and
now it's "Dear Art." In view
of my recent barrage of fan
mail. I have decided to take
the time to answer a small
percentage of the questions 1
received, and publish them
here for the benefit of my
readers. The answers I give
will, I sincerely hope, en-
hghten those students who
persist in asking about the
obvious.

Dear Art:

I'm confused. The other day
I was thrown out of the
cafeteria on the seat of my
jeans. This does not bother
me. What does bother me,
however, is that when I came
to supper in my school attire
evervone else was in jeans!
Why?

Dear Greatly Perplexed:

The answer is simple. It is
obvious that there is a fine line
between the times when jeans
are "immodest" and ' 'per-
fectly proper." This time is,
by international agreement,
at 5:00 p.m.

1 recommend that you carry
your jeans with you at all
times so that when you hear
the church chimes strike five,
you can instantly whip off your
pants and step into a comfy
pair of jeans. Please note,
though, that Jeans once again
become immodest at 4:00 a.m.

So if you have a habit of
sleeping in your clothes, set
your alarm accordingly.

Dear Art:

For two long years I walked
a mile or more to get to my car
when I wanted to go some-
where. In fact, the first of
those years I couldn't even use'
my car! Now that I'm an
upperclassman, they're not
giving me my own parking
space near to the dorm. I hope
there's a good explanation for
this.

Dear Troubled Car Owner:
I have heard similar griev-
ances expressed in the halls of
Talge. Yes, there is a good
explanation. The deans have
decided this year to promote
the relaxing sport of cruising.
By not assigning parking spots
they have now encouraged
students to drive around the
parking lot looking for a place
to park. It is their belief that in
due time many will become
involved and cruising will be
introduced into SMC's intra-
mural program.

Dear Art:

In looking through Talge
Hall's handbook I notice, to
my amazement, that there is a
fine of $100 for possession of
fireworks, but only a $25 fine
for possession of firearms.
Does this make sense to you?

Dear Handbook Gazer:

Of course it makes sense!
Fireworks make a lot of noise
and disrupt students attempt-
ing to study. Firearms, on the
other hand, can be equipped
with silencers, thus avoiding
the loud noises. TJiose sto-
dents receiving the fine for
firearms apparently are using
weapons not equipped with
the silencer. These students
may purchase the necessary
noise remover at the Southern
Mercantile for a minimal fee.

Dear Mr. Jordan:

I understand that movie
attendance is not encouraged
by SMC. Why are fiicks shown
on the dorm TV's then, that
just came out of the theater?

Portrait

Dear Wondering One:
You evidently have the
wrong concept of why movies
are not encouraged. The plush
seats provided in the theaters
of today allow for slouching
and comfort while enjoying
the movie. The students of
this college need to maintain
proper posture, and therefore,
are given the hard wooden
"blechers" to seat themselves

Dear Art:

It amazes me that males are
not allowed in the Thatcher
lobby after 8:00 p. m. , but that
the young ladies are invited to
use the Talge lobby until 10:30
p.m. I don't think that even

you can give me a gobS
explanation for this discrep-
ancy.
Dear Doubting Writer:
Certainly I have an expla-
nation! There are several time
lines that run through the
campus, particulariy through
the mall. Thus, when it is 8:00
in Thatcher, it is 10:30 in
Talge. The women's deans
realize this and have, thank-
fully, made the proper adjust-
ments. The student senate is
presently considering asking
"Ye Olde Timekeeper" to set
one face of his clock to one
time and the opposite face to
the other time. At the present,
however; the clock still shows
Talge Standard Time.

Cent, from 2 (^ ^■^\^

people, and about fourteen
hours for 1000. That's a lot of
crunching on the computer, so
I am forced to limit the
number of people participa-

many forms will be printed up,
so don't waste any forms, and
get them in earlyl

The men and

concluded this past week. In
the womens tournament, it
was Kelly Wygal defeating
Debbie Morgan two straight
sets by scores of 6-1 and 6-1 to
capture the title. Morgan was
the number one seed in the
tournament but Wygal proved
to be more than her equal in
the finals.

In the mens tournament, it
was John Messinger gaining
victory over Eddie Thompldns
6-2,6-3 to talte the winners

Thompkins linocl<ed off such
tennis notables as Ned Ve-
lasco and Tim Arellano on his
way to the finals, but couldn't
overtake Messinger. Ned Ve-
lasco won the consolation di-
vision by defisating Matt Nafie

(6-3, 9-7). Messinger then

Kuhlmaii Witnesses Voyager Signals

Ray Hefferlin

The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration in-
vited Dr. Henry Kuhlman,
associate professor of physics,
to the Jet Propulsion Labora-
tory in California to witness
receipt of the signals from
Voyager as it flew closest to
the planet Saturn. On Tues-
day. Nov. 11, at 11:05 p.m.
EST, Voyager made its closest
approach to Saturn's enor-
mous moon. Titan, and scien-
tists were eager to see any
clues about the warmth, at-
mosphere, and habitability of
that satellite (such as the
volcano seen erupting on one

of Jupiter's moons.) On
Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 5:10
p.m. EST, Voyager most
closely approached the giant
planet itself. Dr. Kuhlman
and other NASA guests were
in the JPL command center all
day Tuesday and Wednesday.
Dr. Kulhman has consistent-
ly followed NASA's space
program. He want to Cape
Canaveral on three occasions
to watch launches of the
stupendous Saturn V Apollo
spacecraft with astronaunts
bound for the moon.

Dr. Kuhlman also watches

other events in space by
telescope, camera, and on
occasions or total solar eclips-
es by traveling to the best
observing site.

Dr. Kuhlman teaches the
introductory astronomy class
at SMC every spring semes-
ter. He designed the sun-dial
which adorns the knoll betwe-
en Thatcher Hall and the
tennis courts. He has also
written an article on the
sun-dial's design which is
being typeset by "Sky and
Telescope," a world renowned
star-watchers' journal.

Play Cast to Give Encore Performance

Lisa Kelley

The encore production of last
years Communication Depart-
ment play, "Family Portrait,"
will be performed Wednes-
day, November 19 at 7:30 p.m.
a: the Collegedale Academy
Auditorium. The performance
will be free of charge and
since no tickets will be sold
there will be general seating.

Because the play was such a
siiccess with audiences last
year, the cast was invited to
perform in Atlanta, Charlotte,

and Asheville, N.C. The
actors will begin their tour
Thursday.

Family Portrait is the story
of the family of Jesus. One
never sees Jesus in the play,
but does see the reactions of
His family toward His work,
His teachings, and His death.

It is a poingnant play and the
actors rendor it beautifully.
Tonua Barley protrays
Christ's mother, and Craig
Boddy, Carry Gregory, Frank

it is hoped by the director,
Dr. Don Dick and the cast of
Family Portrait, that all will
come and see this perfor-
mance. This is the last time it
will be shown in the College-
dale area. All are sure to
receive a blessing and maybe
gain some insights on what it
was like when Jesus was here
on earth.

— ■Viewpoint

In my mind, the glories of fall have just begun to unfold.
The skys are blue and brightly clear, the leaves have
carpeted the ground, and the smell of moth balls is only
faint now in my sweater. As I drive down the road in my
car, I find myself humming "Over the River and Through
the Woods" and smile that Thanksgiving is nearing.

I approach the shopping center still naively humming
my reminiscent tune, only to fmd, horror of all horrors,
that I am anticipating the wrong holiday. There isn't a
miniture pilgrim or Mayflower in sightl

Instead, I am greeted by tinsel garlands, large, white
trees with blue ornaments, and candy canes. Boxes of
Christmas cards are tottering everywhere and I even
detect the certain "holiday brusqueness" in some of the
store clerks. The toy departments are overflowing into
household wares, construction has already started on
Santa's corner, and for a moment. I think I even hear the
strains of "Jingle Bells."

In panic, I rush back to the safety of my car and weakly
drive home.

Having relayed this tale of woe, I should now like to
address who ever it is that dictates holidays. ..Please let
me savor and enjoy Thanksgiving before hurdling me into
Christmas.

Basketball

Defended

Dear Editor:

I would like to take exception
to some of the comments
made by Reno Thompson
about recreational basketball
here at SMC. I believe his
comments are grossly exag-
gerated and therefore need to
^e addressed.

First of all, Mr. Thompson
points out that the gym is
usually full five minutes after
it is opened. If this is the case,
what is stopping him from
organizing teams and begin-
ning a game? If there are so
many players who want a "fair
chance of showing their tal-
ents," then starting a game .
would not seem very difficult. I
1 believe a little organizational 1
initiative by Mr. Thompson or
others who feel as he does,
would be more appropriate
than a condemnation of the
whole system.

Secondly, I must reject his
favorable comparison of play-
ground ball to SMC basket-
ball. 1 have also played in the
playground where "guys
make up their own rules".
What I've found is that sport-
manship is nonexistent and
many games turn into contests
of ego and one-upmanship.
The "survival of the fittest"
rule of the street is one of the
most basic of lessons to be
learned in the playground. To
compare SMC's relatively
tame style of play to play-
ground ball is neither a fair
assessment nor an objective
opinion.

finally, while it is obvious
there are no Larry Bird's or
Dr. J's on this campus, it is
equally as obvious that there
is a talent differential. This
differential must be recog-
nized for the sake of the
beginning player as well as
the advanced. To place a
beginner on the court with
more advanced players can
only discourage the beginner.
On the other hand, the ad-
vanced player can only im-
prove playing against players
of his own cali r or slightly

Judd Lake, Junior, theology, Huntsville, A£." Bib-
lical writers did it.

Roger Burke, junior, theology, Purvis, MS: This
accusation raised the question of whether or not she is
inspired. Since the Biblical writers used other sources, we
can likewise raise the question, "Were they inspired?" U
the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy aren't inspired, then we'll
have to throw out our present religion and start from
scratch. I'm not prepared to do that.
Ken Wiseman, senior, theology, Murfreesboro, ^^
Somewhat saddening. I expect her validity as a prophet lo
stand through it all. Meanwhile, we must learn what «
can from this.

Elder Douglas Bennett. Professor of Religion, SMC:
To some it may be a surprise to discover Ellen White use"
more sources than previously, imagined. I believe the
problem lies with our misconception of what inspiratioj
actually is. In the final analysis, I think these facts
broaden our concept of how inspiration works in a pes:

D

Of all the problems encountered by
successful eaters, tfie most dreaded of
all Is substantial weight loss and its side
effects: becoming too desirable, expen-
sive tailoring bills, not being recognized
by friends, and, if you've been success-
ful, constantly falling through bench
slats.

Fortunately, recent discoveries in the
field of fat research have produced new
information on avoiding weight loss, no
matter how excellent your diet or how
determined you are to succeed. By
observing the following rules, all based
on this new research, you'll find that,
despite having given up muffins and no
longer sending your Candygranns, you
won't shed so much as a pound. In fact,
if you're especially diligent, you may
even put on enough to bend a see-saw.
Ready? Just open your belt a few
notches, and we'll begin....

1.

Ignore everything you have ever seen,
heard and read about age, muscle tone,
body alignment and motivation.

2.

Never set aside time for fitness
exercise.

Constantly slump when sitting,
standing and walking.

Enjoy and nuture the "grapefruit"
flesh on your thighs and hips.

5.

Never allow yourself to walk up the
stairs too fast, run to the cafe to get in
line first, become excited at a ball
game, or make use, of any kind, of the
running track. Never indulge in tennis
hauling lumber, or bike-riding. Stick to
sedentary activities with minimal effort.

Whittling, addressing envelopes and
counting dimes.

the art

Never allow yourself to skip a meal or
even be slighted by servings.

Drive your car to every class.

Always pick up a few cartons of whole
milk for meals. Not only Is it loaded
with vitamins, but also with plenty of fat
so drink up.

Avoid every sort of rabbit food:
lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery,
carrots, ect.

10.

Get plenty of snacks at meal time to
enjoy between meals and late at night.
The later the better.

11.

Constantly allow yourself to think
about food. Always await meal time
with glee and think about all the
fattening foods you love.

12.

Refuse any kind of will power. Have
no strength in avoiding bakeries, pret-
zel carts, Baskin Robbins, and always
flirt with the Good Humor man.

13.

Buy clothes one size too large. This
offers the opportunity of having friends
tell you how small you look while you
play the glutton and "grow" into them.

20.

Don't chew thoroughly. Mastication is
a terrible time-waster. Really deft
eaters chew with their teeth held wide
apart. This allows the stomach and
digestive track to slow its mettle. You
should also chew very fast which
permits you to "pack it away" even
under the most adverse conditions.
This allows you to steal off your
neighbors plate without getting caught
and consume a Master Burger while
playing the harmonica.

21.

Flirt with danger. Spend your vacation
in an ice cream parlor. Take deep
breaths when passing Italian restau-
rants and hover over the buffet table at
weddings, judicial hearings, and group
or club parties.

22.

Eat compulsively. Use food as a
substitute for other satisfactions. Eat
Oreos instead of asking for a raise.
Consunie a pound of fudge or an entire
bannana cream pie to help you over-
come your fear of high places.

23.

Never start your diet today. TTie more
you procrastinate, the better your
chances of preserving your waistline

24. ^.

Never count carbohydrates. Tnis
guarantees immunity to carbohydrate
deficiency, a condition that causes loose
fitting pants and also strange behavior.
(One tragic case found a woman who
was deprived of bread for six months

holding a piece of pumpernickel to her
ear and listening for the ocean.)

25.

Always use heaps of sugar. The
consumption of glucose can easily
compensate for the thinning effect of
salad and tea.

Eat when you're miserable and lonely.
This is also known as eating your heart
out.
27.

Always clean your plate. Make a habit
of finishing everything in front of you
(except wishbones and fruit pits).
Possibly you'll decide to leave uneaten
any food that has been dropped on the
floor. The truly dedicated binger,
thinks nothing, however, of picking up
a French-fry or beating a dog to a fallen
Veal Cutlet.

As you can see, there Is no easy way to
keep your weight up. There will betime
when you're tempted to cheat-substi-
tuting carrots for candy, cauliflower for
pasta, and bowling for binging. But
with resolve and determination, you,
too, can have difficulty emerging grace-
fully from a sports car. Happy binging.

iries this past week,
an impressive 33-7
Schultz to. gain sole

possession of first place in A
League. Dean Evans' leader-
ship proved to be valuable in a
close 26-25 win over Velasco.
Matt Nafie scored eight touch-
downs in the three games to
lead the offense while a solid
defense, aided by Ron Shaf-
fer's constant pressure on the
quarterback, and was able to
contain the opponent's
.offense.

In the eastern division of B
League Skeete has locked up
first place with a 6-0-1 record.
They were tied once by Kittle,

but it appears their balanced
offensive scoring attack, led
by Slattery, Pena, and Coston,
and the speed of Skeete was
just too much for opponents to
stop.

In the Western division,
iRobbins was knocked off by
Luttrell and now both teams
have a loss. The biggest game
of the year for this league will
be played on November 19 at
8:00, when Robbins and Lut-
trell will square off in a game
that will decide the champion
of this league. Both teams
have a powerful offensive
attack and are very balanced
in the scoring department,
each boasting three players in
the top ten.

A sign-up sheet has been
placed in the P.E. Center for
all those interested in playing
volleyball. This season will
begin right after flagball ends.
More details will be given next

medical students in the con-
suddenly transfixed, eagerly
anticipating the conclusion of
this significant statement.

This was a momentous
meeting, carrying grave por-
tent for every living person as
well as for all who would be
born in the future. For four
nd years the blight of
cancer had ravaged the world,
painfully terminating the li\
of hundreds of unfortunate
victims. Hope w;

cont. from

that in my experience at SMC
there have been only a few
isolated incidents of unsports-
manlike conduct. On the
whole, the sportsmanship is
good and most players have
not lost sight of the
for playing: to improve their
skills and abilities, to
fully interact with their fellov
students, and to have fun ii

existent in the ^leart of anyone
diagnosed as having this mor-
tal illness, while those who
were free of this disease lived
in continual dread lest they
contact it.

But now, one of the most
important medical break-
throughs of the century was on
the verge of rectifying this
situation. The twelve students
pondered as to what the cure
would be. For three and

one-half years the Great Phy-
sician had experimented with
his medicine, actively solici-
ting "guinea pig" cancer
patients who would submit to
his treatments. His success
rate was quite high; in fact,
one-hundred percent of his
patients were cured and no
one complained of side
effects. However, he would
not be satisfied until everyone
realized the potential of this

medicine to arrest the cancer
mortality rate, so he had
planned this forum at which
time he was to reveal hiw new
miracle cure. It would then be
available to the entire world.
Following the announce-
ment of the forum period,
many conjectures had been
made as to the identity of this
successful treatmerit for can-
cer proposed by the famous
doctor. Some theorized that he

had combined certain
chemicals to create a
modernistic drug, while others
suggested that he would only
reveal the mechanics of a new
method for hydrotherapy
treatments.

The twelve doctors-to-be
strained to listen as the
greatest physician who ever
lived prepared to conclude his
sentence. "And the only way
to treat cancer is.. .with love!"

The Southern Missionary
College Symphony Orchestra
presents in its annual fall
concert, double-bass virtuoso,
Gary Karr, who is acclaimed
by critics to be the world's
greatest living string bass
soloist and one of the most
exciting concert performers on
any instrument. The concert
wiil be Saturday, Nov. 22 at 8
p.m. in the P.E. Center.

Orlo Gilbert, associate pro-
fessor of music, and the 70

dances numbers eight and 17,
from "Prince Igor." with stu-
dent soloist Jenine Fryling;
The Drangonetti Concerto,
and Fantasy on a Theme from
the Opera "Moses in Egypt"
by Paganini-Rossini, in which
Gary Karr is to solo. Other
music on the program includes
Berstein's "Overture to Can-
did." and Handel's "Theo-
dore Overture."

Gary Karr is indeed a
profound musician who has
performed with such orches-
tras as the New York Philhar-
monic, the London Philhar-
monic, and the Olso Philhar-
monic. Recordings have been
made by brand names as
R.C.A,, Golden Crest, Colum-
bia and others- Karr has just

returned from a five week
concert tour in Europe and is
currently artist-in-residence
and member of the music
faculty at the Hartt College of
Music in Hartford.CT.

The International Press in
Montreal had this to say
concerning Karr: "He makes
the elephant of the strings
seem as nimble as an jmpala.
executing skips and runs with
the accuracy and always with
musical purpose." And, in
Boston, this: "Gary Karr
makes the double-bass sound
like a purring, golden pussy-
cat...convincing evidence of
the place the double-bass is
capable of achieving in mas-
terly, charismatic hands."

2/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/November 20,

The attitude that a good Christian education is essential

"^ for the proper development of one's character has existed

' for a long time. Our schools are designed to elevate the

young people of cur faith to a higher understanding and

appreciation of education.

Mrs White has written many articles and letters
explaining her position on Seventh-day Adventist schools.
But throughout the years, I feel what used to be respect
for the combined church and schools has grown mto an
inculcated lifestyle.

SDA colleges have been made to appear as though they
provided the only acceptable form of quality education. If
a student leaves an SDA college to attend a public
university, he is immediately considered to have a dnftmg
relationship with the Lord.

I think this is a very narrow-minded conception.
Because a student wishes to continue his education
elsewhere does not place him in a position of personal
religious neglect. While our colleges provide their
students with very acceptable and highly qualified
educational facilities, they don't always please everyone
who is interested in nondenominational work.
"But private colleges maintain a religious sincerity."
Well, this expression has taken on a trite validity. The only
reason onewon't make it in the "real world" is that his
relationship with God is weak. It might be that some
exposure to the outside world might alter that complacent
attitude many SDA's take.

While SDA students belong in Christian schools, I
believe there is also a place for SDA's in public
universities. A great deal of work can be done there by
reaching many souls for Christ and His service. Cf^A

Attendance Policy
Questioned

Dear Editor:

Since I have been here at
SMC, I have had a hard time
getting used to the forced
classroom attendance policy.
A policy where by the teacher
may drop your grade after you
have missed a specific number
of class periods. This policy
seems needless. If the class
time was really that edifying,
then by missing a lot of classes
the students' grades would
naturally drop. In many
classes, however, the period is
spent in babying the student. I
mean by this the rereading of
the syllabus or textbook with
very little pertinant infor-
mation given, so that a
student would only need to
read the material and show up
for the quizzes to be able to
successfully complete the
course. This method of
teaching could be due to the

I

Editor's Note: Recently the
members of the Seventh-day
Adventist community in
Southern California were
shocked to read in the morn-
ing edition of the Los Angeles
Times that Elder Walter Rea.
pastor of the Long Beach,
California, SDA church, had
submitted information to the
public that Ellen White was a
plagiarist. The front-page ar-
ticle was written by the Reli-
gion Editor of the Times and
included a large exhibit of
Ellen White's alleged plagia-
rism for the public to observe.
As a result of this, the
Southern California Confer-
ence executive committee, on
November 13. 1980. removed
Elde Rea's ministerial creden-
tials and terminated his em-
ployment with the church.

an increasingly important
issue to our church. So we
looked for someone to discuss
it with on behalf of our
readers. We discovered that
Elder Edwin Zackrison. Asso-
ciate Professor of Religion, a
strong supporter of Ellen
White's gift of prophecy, was
a personal friend of Elder Rea.
We asked him to reflect his
relationship with Elder Rea as
yvell as to share some of his
observations concerning the
current crisis in our church
over this issue.

ELLEN WHITE: Inspired

ACCENT: Elder Zackrison.
why has Ellen White become
such an issue in the church all
of a sudden?

ZACKRISON: Ellen White has
always been an issue in our
church.

A: What do you mean?

Z: Every generation has had
to wrestle with Ellen White's
role in our ehurch--now it is
our turn. Early Adventists had
to answer the question, What
do we do with this living
phenomenon? Middle Adven-
tists had to deal with the fact
that there was no more living
phenomenon. For example,
the 1919 Bible Conference
discussed this problem and
apparently the brethren then
simply decided to Hve with the

tensions, and the record of the
conference was buried--only in
1974 did we receive access to
it. Modern Adventists are
again challenged to face the
historical data that is accu-
mulating in a square and
honest way. I believe that we
must interpret this new data in
a way that will be most helpful
to the church and all the
people who love God and
truth. Such inquiry involves
questions, historical obser-
vations, analysis of data. It is
hard and risky work.

A: Why is it risky?

Z: Because people's faith is
involved. A major considera-
tion for any Christian resear-
cher is pastoral concern-a
regard for people which recog-

dismissed. Apparently their
iloying agencies believed
'tfiey moved too fast. I'm not
suggesting their theology had
no part in their problems, but I
think the charge of lack of
oral concern was really
^e heart of their dismissals.

However, I believe we all
naJte a serious mistake if we
assume now that because of
these two men are gone the
problems they stirred around
jn ate solved. We may decry
the ^pecessity of dealing res-
pOD^bly with the problems
they raised, but that does not
change reality. Somebody
must deal with their charges.
They really have not been
inswered adequately--
;specially Elder Rea.

A: What has been your
relationship with Elder Rea?

Z: I did eight months of my
nunisterial internship under
in 1967 at the Alhambra
church in southern California,
ffe have been good friends
ever since.

A: Did Elder Rea demon-
strate any kind of hatred or
ntipalhy toward the writings
of Ellen White when you
worked with him?

Z: No. 1 thought he was a bit
rigid in his application of her
writings, though he never
believed in verbal inspiration.
1 considered him an ultra
conservative. The Spirit of
Prophecy was clearly a major
source of faith and practice for
him. Anyone who knows Elder
can tell you that he has
been an intense student of
Ellen White and an ardent
supporter of her.

k: If that is true, why would
he embark on a project to
discredit her?

2: I've known about this
project for eight years. It is not
fair to suggest that he set out
to discredit her. He is an
inquisitive person and origi-
nalJy he sought help to explain
some data that did not corres-
pond to what he believed,
particularly in the extent of
her use of sources. He has told
many times of his hope
that the White Estate would
assist 'him in this so that the
problems would be resolved.
Their tendency to ignore his
research and ridicule his
methodology apparently con-
tributed to his motivation to
keep probing. As word got out
that he was doing this study,
all sorts of material began
coming to him through the
wail from people as far away
as Europe. Somewhere along
*e line he detected what he
interpreted as a coverup and
launched into a full-fledged
search for his own answers. I
think he has made some
attempts to work in coopera-

"Rea is accusing the White
Estate and the leadership of the
Adventist church with
contributing to a major cover
up..."

tion with the White Estate but
it is quite obvious that com-
munication between the two
parties has been strained.

A: We understand that you
and Elder Springett have
spent some time studying
' Elder Rea 's material. Do you
find any truth in his assertions
that Ellen White copied 80
percent of the material put out

Z: No, but we have done
little as yet. Our research so
far confirms Elder Neal
Wilson's public statement that
we know now, thanks to Elder
Rea, that Ellen White used
sources more extensively than
we have heretofore been
aware of or recognized. How-
ever, the rumor that our
research will answer Rea's
charges is exaggerated.

The problem is extremely
complex and it demands the
attention of our most highly
trained historians and literary
critics. The General Con-
ference has formed a com-
mittee to work on this
research.

This is not the time to be
making what 1 would call
irresponsible assertions. It is
not adequate to pass off this
problem by asserting that we
"always knew she used
sources"-that is only half ture
and it does not deal with the
problem here. Nobody 1 know
had any idea she used so many

extensively, that is what Elder
Wilson is saying, and he is
absolutely right.

A : Is plagiarism Elder Rea 's
only charge?

Z: No, and this is why
theological assertations are
not very helpful to deal well
with Rea allegations. You see,
he is claiming that Ellen
White not only was a chronic
plagiarist but that she inten-
ded to deceive the public,
perhaps for financial gain.
Obviously such a charge is
disconcerting for us who hold
her in the highest esteem. He
believes that the evidence he

has amassed points to the
conclusion that those editors
and secretaries who worked
for her were copying other
authors right along and put-
ting out material under her
name, that she knew this was
going on and that she encoura-
ged her employees not to tell
others about it. He says that
he can "prove" that the
writing of her books was a
"clever, contrived, educated
effort over a long period of
time to deceive members and
readers by cosmetically
correcting what had been done
in the past, ' ' and that much of
what was published in her
name was not hers at all but
written by her associates.
Furthermore, he alleges,
"Mrs. White did not have the
last word of what was written
and did not always have the
final say in what was pub-
lished."

These are serious ethical
charges that will not be silen-
ced or answered simply by
arguing whether "inspu-ation
precludes originality," or
even by removing Elder Rea's
ministerial license.

Elder Rea has an archive of
material in California and
nobody really knows what all
he has in it. At this time he is
comparatively free to make
charges, some of which none
of us can counter except with
our own unsupported asser-
tions-most of which have
become threadbare with use.
The White Estate and some of
our church leaders, in fact
most of us, have been relying
on Mrs. White's integrity to
counter where we think Rea's
research is leading, but that
doesn't work very go«d
biicause his allegation implies
that she was not a person of
integrity.

At the heart of the contro-
versy, Rea is accusing the
White Estate and the leader-
ship of the Adventist church
with contributing to a major
coverup and with using Ellen
White to formulate a quasi-
theocratic authority system.

A: Aren't these rather wild
claims?

Z: They surely sound like it,
don't they? 1 trust that our
leaders will silence these
claims with hard evidence.
But until they do, I continually
remind my students that
charges and allegations are
not facts. In America, you are
innocent until proven guilty.
We are still waiting for the
bulk of evidence Rea claims he
has. In a forthcoming book he
says he will divulge it.

A: If it should prove true-
merely thinking for a moment
about the worst-that 80 per-
cent of her material was either

1

copied or paraphrased, wouia
this affect our concept of her
inspiration?

Z: That depends on what
"our concept of inspiration"
is. The Adventist church has
really never set down a con-
cept of inspiration explicity.
We have just said, "We
believe in the inspiration of
Ellen White." That everyone
knows what this means has
been taken for granted. But it
is not clear. Some interpret
this to mean that she was
infallible in all her religious,
scientific, historical, etc.,
utterings and pennings (or at
least act that way); others take
this to mean that only her
theological statements are
infallible. A third group
believes she was primarily
used as a messenger of God to
help start this church move-
ment but that her writings are
historically conditioned and
therefore antiquated in places.

Unfortunately, many
Adventists seem oblivious to
these several schools of
thought in our church and
tend to judge others by their
own understanding. But
actually, it is these varying
interpretations of Ellen
White's role that explains
much of our pluralism and
what people see as "double-
standards" among us.

The position that we have
taken, and which I think we
are all pretty much agreed on
is this: "We do not regard the

Inspired? con.

that actually says nothing
about "inspiration."

In spite of all this, you are
asking the wrong question,
because Rea's charge is not
concerned with the theological
concept of inspiration. He is
asking: "Will a person who
claims to be the recipient of
the spiritual gift of prophecy
intentionallydeceive the public
for financial ends?" We must
listen to that question if we are
going to give him an answer. I
am fully aware that we don't
like the question, but I will
guarantee you this: Our
enemies will listen to his
question! And both our
friends and our enemies will
listen intently for our answer,
too. If we evade it, they will
say we can't answer it.

A: Can Rea prove inten-
tionality?

Z: Ah, now you're getting
the point. I do not believe
intentionality can be
"proved." Intentionality is a
motive, so you can only amass
evidence and try to convince
your jury. But I will guarantee
you one thing-Rea will set
forth his most persuasive
arguments for intentionality,
if he is convinced it is true. We
must be ready for that. My
plea is to guard ourselves
against vulnerability.

A: To what extent do you
\ believe Mrs. White could have
borrowed literarily and still be
considered "inspired"?

Z: Nobody knows the
answer to that. One SDA
scholar has asserted that even
if she copied 100 percent of
her material it would not

from page 5

change things. That is an
overstatement. I don't think it
is a good answer. His point is
that inspiration does not equal
originality. But that's not the
issue. Nobody disagrees on
this, including Rea.

A: Is is not true that Biblical

original?

Z: Yes. But I'm not sure I
want to use that line of
reasoning to justify Ellen
White either. Adventisls have
never held Ellen White's gift
to be completely comparable
to that of the Bible writers,
and the similarities are not all
that close in this problem. I
would rather not make ties,
where, if she tumbles, the
Bible comes tumbling after.
Our church has consistently
denied that we have more than
one rule of faith and practice.
We ought to reiterate that
again now even if we don't
have all the questions
answered about Ellen White
'yet.

A: Where is Rea getting all
his material?

Z: From all over the
country. He claims to have
' ' moles" at some of our
schools. Much of it is
supposedly from the several
White vaults. Many private
parties have sent him
material. At the Glacier View
meeting this past summer, the
Adventist scholars in atten-
dance made a plea to the
White Estate to throw open
the doors of the vauU and
make available all that is in
there so we can really deal
with the_ problem; and so our

critics who continue to sing
the "repression of informa-
tion" soon will have their vocal
chords cut. A committee was
appointed to study that
possibility.

A: Could you comment on
the content of Rea's book that
you alluded to and what ejfect
you think it may have on our
church as well as the outside?

Z: I know little about the
book. I have a hunch it will be
something of a "quest for the
historical Ellen White." Other
such books have come out in
the past and, unfortunately,
perhaps the White Estate has
done more than anyone else to
advertise them. (One problem
with apologetics is that it gives
the opponent's argument
sometimes clearer than the
opponent does!) Surely the
enemies of our church will
have a big time with it.

I think we could counter
much of its effect by publically
reaffirming our stand on the
Holy Scriptures. We ought
also to take another honest
look at ourselves to perceive
whether we have really
treated Ellen White fairly in
the light of her wishes and
claims. If we make more rash
comparisons which leave the
impression that we have
canonized Ellen White, or
keep setting forth forceftil but
unsupported theological
assertions concerning ques-
tions Rea is not asking, I think
we are in for hard times. Our
enemies would love to pin the
charge of -cultism" on us. A
refusal to stand on Scripture
as our sole base of faith and

practice will give them reason
to make it appealing to others.

A: Wasn't Elder Rea
unethical in taking this to a
secular newspaper?

Z: I don't defend or condone
that method. I think it's a
shame that we had to get this
through the Los Angeles
Times in 1980. 1 wish we could
have dealt with it in 1920.

A: Mrs. White prophesied
that the last deception wold be
to make of none effect the
testimony of the Spirit of God.
How would you relate to this
statement in the light of recent
developments in our church
with Qr. Ford and Elder Rea?

Z: We make of none effect
the testimony of the Spirit of
God more by our actions than
by our theological affir-
mations. If you believe Ellen
White's statements are infal-
lible, then you better live
according to them completely.
If not, your words are empty.
Furthermore, a quest for truth
is not an attack. The sides are
not clear in this controversy.
Every person must stand
alone. Coverups do more harm
to her authority than looking
at evidence. I don't want to
believe that we have anything
to hide. Personally. I want to
see the evidence from both
sides. Those who don't,
should really cease comment-
ing on the situation because
we're becoming so embroiled
in theological conflict it is
beginning to muddy our evan-
gelistic vision.

A: What is your suggestion
for us who do not have the
materials to study or really the

all the
evidence in this matter?

Z: We have two enemies;
Lethargy and closed-
mindedness. If you care
enough to comment, you are
probably not lethargic; but
you might comment irres-
ponsibly because you are
closed-minded. So we must be
careful. Accusations are easy
to make and hard to fight.

I would simply suggest; (1)
Don't panic. (2) Try to be
magnanimous enough toward
those who are wrestling wit!i
*his problem to refrain from
jumping to , premature
judgments about where they
or their research wil! lead,
Don't be quick to throw her
out. Yet, look at the evidence
skeptically enough so you are
not premature in your final
conclusion. (3) Remeber. our
faith is based on the weight of
evidence. The existence oftlie
Adventist church and the good
it has done is powerful evi-
dence of God's leading
through Mrs. White. For all
its shortcomings, there is
really nothing like it in histo^-
We must not overlook that. H)
Keep in mind that the
evidence Elder Rea will pre-
sent can probably be inter-
preted at least in two ways-

November 20, 1980/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/7

.Of Thanksgivings Remembered...

Each year, as I travel away to college, it
gets worse. The waiting for days without
ceasing to go by so Thanksgiving vacation
Cancome.

I wait for it like I used to wait at the
corner for the Good Humor Ice Cream
truck; it was always just around the corner
and it seemed simply ages until it finally
stopped by me. Now, there is less than a
week before Thanksgiving and containment
is barely possible. I can hardly wait to go
home and see Mom and Dad, and my dog.

As Departure Day gets closer, waves of
nostalgia sweep over me, and I reminisce
about Thanksgivings had when 1 was
younger.

Mom usually started baking goodies
about a week before the real eating even
commenced. I was beyond me why I
couldn't have at least ONE cookie made or a
little piece of apple pie that was baked, but
Mother was firm.

"Not until Thanksgiving." she'd say
resolutely.

"But, Mom," I'd whine.

"No!" she'd repeat with that
Mother-said-no-so-don't-ask-again look on
her face. I'd sigh and walk dejectedly into
the family room and pout for a few minutes.

The day before Thanksgiving was when
the excitement would begin to brew. Daddy
would drive over to Gramma and Grampa's
house to pick up the Norwegian crumb
cookies and the stuffing (Gramma makes
the best stuffing in the entire world), then
he'd do the last minute shopping for Mom,
like grabbing up some extra Cool Whip,
getting another jug of apple cider, and
picking the tablecloth up from the cleaners.
(I always liked to go with him, because he
could always be persuaded to purchase
some extra ice cream or soda, just in case
we ran out of pie and cider).

Thanksgiving Eve, Mom would be
rushing around trying to glaze the carrots,
unfreeze the string beans, and shoo David
and me out of the crumb cookies, as well as,
extracting the exact whereabouts of the
silver serving spoons from me, since I had
put them away the last time we entertained.
Poor Mommy!

That night was an exceptional night for
TV. All the "first Thanksgiving" cartoons
were shown. The Mouse on the Mayflower
was a favorite, so was the Peanuts
Thanksgiving. I usually went to bed
content after Bugs Bunny got his holiday

Around five in the morning, I'd wake up
to wonderful scents sneaking through the
crack under my bedroom door. Then I'd
hear Mom shuffling around in the kitchen,
checking on the turkey. That's the
definition of security for me right there,
when Mom checks on the holiday bird at
five a.m. It kind of gives you a nice, cozy
/feeling.

After Gramp* said grace (in Norwegian),
we got down to the serious business of
eating. My plate would overflow with
turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, string
beans, cranberry sauce, and gravy poured
Y2 over everything, with a little pond of it in
Pt^ / the potatoes. (Not to forget the soft dinner
.V^ / rolls with butter melting gently into the
nooks and crannies).

If the Redskins happened to be winning,
you could hear the TV from the table, if not,
we waited tii the news to see how badly they
were beaten.

Thanksgiving mornings are full of
parades, but, as I grew older, parades got
boring. Funny, how they are always turned

n anyway, huh"

Around the late morning, we'd go out in
the crisp, biting air and play some tackle
football. It was so cold, your upper lip
turned numb after four plays. But, boy, did
I love it! There's no greater feeling of
accomplishment in the world than hurling
yourself into the person with the ball and
have that player crumple beneath you.

After about two hours of grappling for
pigskin, I'd stumble inside, all full of grass
and sweat, and half frozen.

Mom would scream, "Don't set foot on
the carpet, your Father just vacuumed it.
Go the garage way! "

Silently, I'd moan, but. that was the price
of jockdom.

When I walked into the family room, I
could smell those wonderful holiday odors (I
can almpst breathe them in now, hmmmml)
Walking into the kitchen, the windows
were foggy with the stuffy smells of turkey
just removed from the oven, potatoes ready
for mashing, glazed carrots, soft dinner
rolls, and warmed-up pies. It was enough
to knock me down.

I quickly showered off, while the family
began to arrive. Aunty Gerrie came first to
help Mom, then Gramma and Gramp in
their light blue 1960 Rambler, (Nanny
usually came with thgm).

Herb, Merry, and their three girls,
Vivian, Martha, and Johanna would come.
I liked Herb, he'd tell jokes and sing me
songs. The only trouble was some of tUb
jokes weren't funny, and when I'd sing the
songs to Mom she'd tell me never everto
sing them again. / ^

Dishes to me were, and still are, the
thorn in Thanksgiving's side. Looking up at
the kitchen counter, it seemed like every
dish in the house was dirty. But what a
sense of fulfillment in drying the last huge
cooking pani

With the dishes done, everyone piled into
the livingroom to show off family pictures,
exchange "news" of friends and relatives,
and have dessert. Soon after the adults got
situated and involved in conversation, all
of the kids would retreat into the rec room to
watch John Alden, and Miles Standish vie
for Priscilla's hand. Then came the ABC
Thanksgiving Special with Bob Hope doing
funny pilgrim skits. I always got to stay up
later than usualy because of company.

Now that I'm older, I caast^y up as late
as I want, but a few things haven't
changed. Daddy and I still do the last
minute errands, and Mom stiil lets us.
Everyone still shows up, even though
Grampa's Rambler died last year. I still
have to do a mountain range of dishes, and I
watch The Mouse On The Mayflower. But
the best part of Thanksgiving for me is still
the same. It's divided up into two paftk: (1)
Getting into my little bed. under the covers
with an entirely full stomach, and, (2) '
Knowing that I'll be able to have turkey
sandwiches for months to cornel

We can have a very positve

jarring-those who say it's not

about it or don't care about it.

But, if this gets us studying

base for our personal faith, if
it helps to challenge things we
have taken for granted, if it
teaches us the danger of
reliance on the institution to
do our thinking for us, if it

out of this crisis can come
some very rich and helpful

Dear Santa,

Well, by the way the shopping malls are decked out, I
take it Christmas is coming, so I'm taking this opportunity
to get my requests in eariy.

This year, Santa, I want to ask for a few favors which in a
way are gifts not only for me, but for others, too.

I'd like, if at all possible, to have the huge boulder in the
middle of the Thatcher Hall sidewalk removed. While
you're at it, why not do something with the three crags
blocking the Annex entrance? In the morning when I
stumble up to class, I invariably trip over one of them.
'I'd also like for you to adjust the chimes so that they gong
out the right time. You just don't know, Santa, the terror
that reverberates thru my body when the morning bells
loudly proclaim the tenth hour just as I get out of the
shower at 7 a.m.

Is there any chance of you bringing an uprooted fir tree
in your sleigh? I think it would be pleasant to have a real
tree already planted in the ground instead of bringing in a
cut-down tree every year. That way we can enjoy it all year
long and use the money that is used for the trees to buy
additional decorations. What do you think about that,
Santa?

Lastly, Santa, and I know this is next to impossible, but
could you please see if there's any way that music could be
pumped into the phone when all the cables are in use
instead of having the harsh, grating click-click noise that
now impairs so many ears?

If you could do any of these things, 1 would be much
obliged.
Sincerely,
Dana Lauren West

Rationale Behind Jeans Questioned

Throughout the historical
development of western
thought, there have been
many phases of attitudes. The
late 1960's produced the
greastest fluctuation of Ro-
manticism our nation has ex-
perienced in the 20th century.
Romanticism is characterized
by the rejection of authority.
Anarchism, a rejection of all
forms of government, and
Nihilism, a rejection of tradi-
tional beliefs, were on the
rise. There was a great
interest in various forms of
escape from reality: the
weird, the exotic, the gro-
tesque, the absurd, the irra-
tional and the mystical, the
pop groups were singing
songs like "Baby Baby 1 Can't
Take It No More" and "Revo-
lution." Demonstrations
swept the country. There
were riots and draft card
burnings. Then came the
greatest escape artists of all,
the hippies. The longhaired
flower-children, stereotyped
by all kinds of immoral filth:
drugs, sex, rock-n-roll, pink
carnation micro-buses and
blue jeans. . . yes. FADED,
FRAYED, PATCHED, BLUE
JEANS.

:en ten years now and
e changed. The
gone. Our gener-
)re concerned with
meeting life's challenges head
on instead of finding ways to
escape. Guy's hairstyles are
shorter and girl's sUrts are
longer. But for some odd
reason blue jeans have never
escaped the labet tagged on
them ten years ago. Evident-
ly, to some, blue jeans still
symbolize rebellion and a
sloppy lifestyle.

During the Romantic flux,
our Adventist Institutions out-
lawed beards and moustaches
for awhile, but we have real-
ized that beards and mous-
taches no longer have the
same connotations they had a
few years ago, so the legisla-
tion against them has been
abolished. But why have we
singled out blue jeans? Why
have we frozen them in a time
frame which is ten years old.
1 submit that the present
legislation against blue jeans
serves no purpose and conse-
quently should be aboHshed.

I'm not a radical, blindly
shouting (Jpwn authority. I
believe in our institutions. I
believes in the aims and goals
of our college. However, I
believe that the "laws" on
blue jeans should be repealed
for the following reasons:

#1. The existing legislation
IS clearly not supported by
those who must maintain it.
It's true that some faculty

Its bee
things hi
hippies a
ation is r

have taken the initiative to
stand up for the school's
position. However, there is an
obvious apathy displayed by
the faculty as a whole on this
issue. On Friday, October 23,
nearly 50 percent of the stu-
dents who exited from Lynn-
wood Hall at the end of the
1 1 :00 period were wearing
blue jeans. During the Friday
noon hour, 1 out of 4 students
in the cafeteria were wearing
blue jeans. On Tuesday,
October 28, 26 out of 51
students in the library at 4:00
were wearing blue jeans. It is
quite obvious that many of the
faculty on this campus are
making no attempt to uphold
the legislation.

It is a generally accepted
axiom that if a rule is worth
having, it is worth suppori:ing.

Many of our faculty do not
support: the blue jean law on a
practical level. 1 interviewed
several faculty members on
this subject and received some
rather amusing answers. I
asked, "What is the rationale
behind the blue jeans law?"
One reply: "I think many of
those at the faculty meeting
were wondering the same
thing." Another reply: "You
won't find enough rationale to
stick in your ear." 1 don't for
one minute question the inte-
grity of our faculty, rather, I
believe in this case the value
of the rule must be ques-
tioned.

#2. Other SDA colleges have
dropped their legislation
against blue jeans. I am well
aware that just because "ev-
eryone else does it" is not a
good reason to do it, but in
this case one observation is

Open one package one way and another
in the other.

Watch everyone around you to catch
pointers on new ways in case some have
been released.

But let's keep in mind, Christmas is a
time of remembering others and doing
things for them. The joy of a thankful
child's face greatly overshadows the
receiving of gifts for ourselves.
Have a good Christmas.

IntrOSpCCtl wisdom from Kings & Wiseman!

December 5, 1980/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/7

A CONTEMPORARY INNKEEPER

The hotel lobby was empty.
Silence prevailed for the first
time all day. After many hours
of facing hurried travellers, I
was ready to lock up and go
home, hoping to enjoy what
remained of this Christmas
Eve. Just a little work was yet
to be done.

i busied myself about the
cash register, carefully sorting
bills in stacks of fives, tens,
and twenties. Business had
been better than usual this
Christmas season. In fact,
every room in the posh inner-
city motel at which I was
manager contained guests.
That is, every room except
one. Not wishing to attract
unwanted customers, I
reached above the counter and
flipped a switch. Outside, a
neon sign blinked "No Va-
cancy."

Although I was glad Christ-
mas had finally arrived and
exultant with the brisk busi-
ness I had done, one major
disappointment lingered. It
was the one empty room.
Earlier that day, I had
received a mysterious phone
call. The anonymous caller
had advised me to prepare for
a special guest that 'evening.
He had even hinted that it
might be a wealthy king from

a foreign country. Not wishing
to be caught unprepared, I
had immediately set about
readying my best suite. It now
stood immaculate, but empty.
"I sure wish that king would
drive up right now," I mused
as I walked over to lock the
lobby doors. After locking the

"Oh bother, can't they

lights off, hoping they had not

to the unpleasant task of
turning a customer away, I
slowly walked across the lob-
by. Without bothering to un-
lock the door, 1 spoke to the
young, bearded face that
stared at me through the

memory forever. I tried to

jeans and I believe that "Nerd
Day' ' showed the present
attitude toward them. What
do people wear when they
want to look sick? Blue jeans?
No. There were very few
nerds who were dressed in
blue jeans. On the contrary,
most nerds wore stripped,
checked, or plaid dress slacks.

Blue jeans are not looked
down upon in today's society.
Also in the area of
dogmatism comes the time
element. Five o'clock is that
magic moment when blue
jeans suddenly become legal.
The rationale is that classes
are over and now we can relax.

This time schedule fails to
make allowances for those
who work all morning. There
is a girl who works in the
nursery who carries an extra

house motel guests, and I just
had to save my best suite for

pair of pants with her each day
because she wants to eat in
the cafeteria. She is reques-
ted to wear jeans or overalls
by the management at her job.
She changes, eats lunch, then
changes back again.

1 met a part time student in
the cafeteria line who was
wearing off-white cords. He
looked hideous. The pants
were spotted with various
substances which he readily
identified: glue, grease,
ground in dirt. He would have
much rather worn blue jeans
{which are certainly the most
durable pants you can buy) at
work, but he wanted to eat in
the cafeteria without taking a
half hour of work time to
shower and change before
lunch. There are many people
who are inconvenienced by the

that foreign king. I was sure
not going to miss the opportu-
nity of playing host to a kingi

Funny thing, but the king
never did come on that Christ-
mas Eve. Or did he?

Some might suggest that the
dogmatism is related to limi-

which includes a lengthy dis-
cussion of the school's policy
concerning students who
desire a sex transformation is
not a handbook which is
hurting for space.

ing, December 11 In Lynn
Wood flail, Room 309.

Dr. Dick, Communications
Department chairman and di-
rector of the play, stresses
that certain qualifications
must be met in order to get a
part in the play or a position
on the production crew. "Stu-
dents shouldn't even come to
the tryouts if they don't expect
to meet the certain criteria
involved" said Dr. Dick.

ll ose interested in the play
must be willing to come to
every rehearsal. These re-
hearsals will be from 6:30 to
9:30 January 7 through March
19 every Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. They must be
free for the productions in
Collegedale and be able to
tour to other cities during the
last week in March.

There are five roles for men,
and five speaking roles for
women (one black). There are
also six smaller female roles

for actresses that can fit the
agesof 8-17 years of age. Two
black children are needed (one
boy and one girl).

In addition to the usual crew
positions for makeiip, ward- ,
robe, hand properties, and
stage properties, pound and
bghts, there aire positions
open for publicity, ticket sales, j
business managing and mf
There are three very impor-j
tant and responsible positions:
designer, production man-
ager, and assistant to the
director.

Students who are selected
for a part may earn anywhere
from one to three hours credit
in SPCH 295 or 495. The
communications department
office in the hallway outside
LWH 111 has the necessary
scripts. Come by and pick up a
copy of a portion of the scripts
so you can prepare to read f6r
a part. When you are there,
sign up for the time that you
would like to come and try out.
"We hope to avoid having
people wait unnecessarily,"
added Dr. Dick, "and try to
maximize their opportunity to
prepare themselves to dem-
onstrate their qualifications
for the part of their choice."

Henriksen to Exhibit
Abstract Paintings

I

The Artist Adi
and the art department of
Southern Missionary College
are presenting an exhibition of
paintings by Jorgen Henrik-
sen in the McKee Library
January 18 through February
20.

Henriksen is presently an
associate professor at the
Massachusetts College of Art.
He received a B.A. from the
University of Illinois at Urbana
and an M.A. from Hunter
College of the City University
of New York.

The exhibition begins with
two watercolors done in the

mid-1960's in a realist man-
ner. In 1968, Henriksen
turned his interest to abstrac-
tion. Most of the paintings in
the exhibition show an evolu-
tion in his approach to the
abstract image.

In the abstract oil and acrylic
paintings one can find a range
of techniques that Henriksen
has used or invented to pro-
vide the means necessary for
the making of his unique
painting compositions.

A reception will be held on
Sunday. February 18, during 3
and 5 p.m. The artist will be
in attendance at that time.

Historical Saga "Roots" to be
Shown in Three Part Series

Tricia imith

The Artist Adventure Film
Series will be presenting the
historical saga "ROOTS"
based on the best-seller by
Alex Haley. The three part
series, each three and a half
hours long, will be held at
7p.m. in the P.E. Center
on January 18, 19, and 25.

Before beginning his search
for his heritage, Mr. Haley
worked as a free-lance writer
for national magazines. He
became interested in his his-
tory in the mid-1960's and
began a twelve-year half-mil-
lion mile search for his roots.
With the help of a noted
linguist, Haley was able to
identity the few words passed
down as Mandinkan from the
Gambion region of West Afri-
ca. ^ After many years of
lecturing, research, writing,
and traveling, Haley saw the
publication of his book
"ROOTS."

The first person he could
remember hearing about was
an African named "Kin-tay"
who, after marrying the house
cook, began the lineage of
black Americans who would
relate the stories by mouth
and one of which would frans-
cribe the family history for all
Americans. The story in-
cludes characters such as Kiz-
zy, Kintes daughter, "Chic-

Once upon a time there was this educational institution
of higher Christian standards. The make up of this
institution was students, teachers, and administrators.

One day some students at this institution decided to aslt
the policy makers of the institution to change the rule
stating that no one could wear Pink polka-dot shoes to
classes. The rationale for the change was that there really
wasn't anything wrong with Pink polka-dot shoes, even
though many in the past and present haye seen them as
being in poor taste. After all, just because they're Pink
and have polka-dots doesn't make them bad.

Some teachers and administrators agreed that there
really wasn't anything wrong with Pink polka-dot shoes,
but everyone agreed that all shoes, whether Pink with
polka-dots or not, that had holes in them should never be
worn. This they agreed was due to the possibility of injury
and/or infection.

Some of the policy makers met and discussed it, and
decided to send it to a higher body for further
consideration.

The students still wear Pink polka-dot shoes, even
though they're not supposed to.

Dear Editor,

At the moment, Marty and I
are sitting here just a few feet
from the ocean. The wind is
blowing and the waves are
crashing, and we're sur-
rounded by palm trees.

This has been the most de-
Hghtful tropical day we've
enjoyed thus far.

! am teaching in room three
this year which is made up of
28 energetic second and third
graders. To me, when I think
of a teacher, i picture a nice
classroom with all the kids
working diligently. This is our
ideal still, but we have found
some real hurdles to bringing
this about.

When I saw the room that
was to be my classroom, I had
to laugh. It was a room, but
that was it! There were four
walls, but even the walls only
had the outside sheets up.
We{all of the student mission-
aries) pitched in and worked
furiously for a week or so
building over 100 new desks
and chairs, making chalk-
boards, building cupboards,
and bookshelves.

The following week was
then spent doing some prac-
tice teaching and also trying to
prepare for the upcoming
school year. How do you teach
children that are in grades two
and three with an age span of
seven to eleven years of age
when they don't have a single
book? This is the question that
I still ask myself every mor-
ning about 8 a.m. Anyone with
some great ideas please send
to P.O. Box 30, Majuro.
Marshall Islands 96960 in
care of Karen Wilcox. (I love
mail!)

If you think you get a lot of
rain in CoUegedale, you
should live here. We get about
150 inches per year and yet
ironically we're the ones with
a water shortage.

Our water is scheduled for
two hours a day. One hour in
the morning and one in the
evening. During these two
hours we try to do our wash-
ing, cooking, showering and
collecting of water in buckets
to get us through till the next
water hours. We collect our
water off our roofs and it is
stored in a 7,000 gallon hold-
ing tank. This tank provifdes
water for the 20 members here
on the compound as well as for
drinking water for the 400
students attending our ele-
mentary and high schools.

So. when we take our sho-
wers, it's a really "fun time."
First of all, we go out to a little
wooden three by three build-

ing that is just sitting out on
the school grounds. We get a
nice breeze blowing through
all the time from the ocean.
That wouldn't be so bad,
except our water is always
COLDl Due to conservation,
this is our typical shower
routine: l)Tum water on just
long enough to get wet.
2) Sing so that you won't yell
when shock of water hits. 3)
Turn water off. 4)Lather up
with slightly dampened wash-
cloth. 5) Turn water on just
enough to rinse off. And the
really fun part is that every
once in a while the water gets
tu^rned off right in the middle
of your shower.
I have truly loved every

mmute here on Majuro. 1 wish
time and space would allow fo!
me to tell you all how wonder
ful this learning experience
has been. It is a lot of worl
and at times 1 miss the
luxuries of a nice meal at Taco
Bell, a warm bath, and beine
able to flush the toilet, but the
rewards are so great thai 1
wish each one of you could
share with us the joys that
.have come from being a
student missionary.

We miss you and ask that
you remember us and our
efforts here in Micronesia.

Jeans letter rebuttled

Dear Editor,

In the last issue of the
Southern Accent, a transfer
student from Walla Walla
College rekindled the peren-
nial blue jean controversy.

From 1974-77 blue jeans
were allowed as classroom
attire for men. A significant
number abused the jeans rule
so that the majority of the
faculty felt that the overall
appearance was less than
ideal.

Many years ago, blue
jeans were predominantly
used as work pants. Today's
jeans come in a variety of
types and styles. There is a
pair designed for almost every
occasion. There are rugged
work jeans, worn faded knock-
around jeans, neat (and ex-
pensive) designer jeans, and
even jean suits that would go
relatively unnoticed in church.
Jeans designed for one occa-
sion may not be suitable for
another.

There is no doubt that jeans
are strong and durable. This is
being proven by the amounts
stuffed into them. If students
would wear the appropriate
jeans, for the appropriate

the
size, probably most of the
faculty would be in favor of
allowing them again. Hoh'
ever, in all probability slU'
dents would abuse the privi'
lege and were inappropriate
jeans. The faculty would be
asked not ^ to say anything
about the jeans unless thej
were "inappropriate". '
a much more difficult
ment to make than the current
decision. The quality of dress
would deteriorate and
students as a group would not
look as sharp as they currenllj
do.

The Walla Walla studenl
related his experience of
wearing blue jeans and gel-
ting a 4.0 average while si
Walla Walla last year. This
year he does not wear blut
jeans and his GFA droppe^
almost one letter grade. J
would, of course, be in favor J
allowing blue jeans if we miilJ
get the kind sold at ".
Walla where "gray matter
actually fabricated inW '"
blue jeans.

The College According to Art Jordan-

I

COLLEGEDALE, TN- the

nightmare is over. After
seventeen long and grueling
days of negotiations, Art Jor-
dan, It, of Southern Mission-
ary College has finally consen-
ted to turn over his crystal ball
to federal officials. The tiring
ordeal, which had seemed to
come to a standstill, came to
an abrupt end at approxi-
mately 2:53 this morning
(EST). As one high ranking
official ,who asked not to be
identified ^put it, "We had
tried everything. We bribed
him, we threatened him, and
finally we beat the tar out of
him. The lousy (unprintable)
just would not crack!"

Mr. Jordan finally gave in
when a bright young F.B.I.
agent threatened to cram the
entire C.K. menu down the
vicitim's throat. The highly
cherished and much publi-
cized crystal ball is scheduled
to be moved from Tordan's

Talge Hall room to Washing-
ton some time next week. The
State Department warns any
would-be kidnappers that the
ball will be carried in a heavily
guarded armored truck. Every
precaution will be taken for a
safe journey to the Capitol.

The prophetic crystal's first
assignment in government
service will most likely be to
reveal the final result of the
now fourteen month old hos-
tage crisis.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND"
Arthur Jordan, the columnist
who almost refused to sell out,
made his first public appear-
ance today since his long
standout with U.S. Govern-
ment officials. The heavily
bandaged Jordan seemed in
good spirits and commented
that his period of recovery in
the Swiss Alps is progressing
as well as can be expected.
Mr. Jordan came out of seclu-
sion long enough to be inter-
viewed by CDS's Dan Rather-

Portrait

) SMC Symphony

not, of the popular news show
"60 Seconds". The two met
in private for several hours
during which time Jordan
gave Rathemot a list of predic-
tions for 1981 which he claims
came straight from the now
immortalized crystal ball. Mr.
Rathemot permitted local re-
porters to look at the list and
take some notes. Items on the
list ranged everywhere from a
prediction that '81 would be
the year that CoIIegedale ap-
plies for statehood; to a war-
ning that trips to the SMC
salad bar could start costing
over 1 .00 Apparently Mr.
Jordan felt that the salad bar
would still be a bargain ,
however, since he expects the
new 1980-81 school catalog to
read, "A student getting a
nutritionally adequate diet by
eating all meals at the cafeter-
ia should expect to pay ap-
proxiamatley 43.00 per day."
Another item on the predic-
tion list stated that this would
be the year when a group of
student terrorists, led by an
enraged professor, would at-
tack and burn down the Ool-
tewah-ColIegedale Telephone

Company. The list contained
some bad news too.
Apparently the crystal ball
feels that this year will see
E.O. Grundset announcing his
decision to donate his body to

the

he

bitten by a cobra. Mr.
Rathemot was quick to ex-
plain, much to the relief of the
scientific community, that
Jordan didn't feel the cobra
would dare challenge "Ye ole
timekeeper".

There also was a bit of advice
on the future list. Students at
SMC are advised to purchase
canoes as means of transpor-
tation during the coming mon-
soon rains. Jordan apparently,
didn't think there should bg
over concern since he felt that
those students who can't
afford canoes will be able to
use the rowboat taxi service
sponsored by campus secur-
ity.

He also felt that campus
security would provide a wa-
tenvay traffic cop {we wonder
who will get the job).

too many rumors floating a-
round about things the crystal
ball might have said but
actually didn't. It did not, for
instance, say anything about
the members of the SMC
senior class getting a letter of
congratulations from Ayatol-
lah Khomeni this May. it also
appears that Mr. Jordan was
very displeased with the wild
rumor that the C.K. was
thinking of becoming a high-
class Chinese restaurant.

Just before bemg escorted
back to his mountain retreat.
Art Jordan stopped long
enough to answer r question
about his future plans by
saying, "I hope to return to
SMC just as soon as I have
completely recovered." And
then, as tears came to his
eyes, he added, "You can't
understand the tremendous
strain it's been on me having
to live in a mountain cottage
and thinking about all'Hte
chapels I'fti going to miss back
■•t school.

It should be noted that at SAC, the food is on a flat rate
board, as it is at Oakwood and Andrews. CUC has the flat
food rate, but does not provide telephones, or laundry
service. Union offers no phone sen/ice, and you must pay
$90 extra for phone privileges at La Sierra.

Union, PUC, AUC, and SMC all have an a la carte food
program and an average of $1 ,075 per year has been used
for the comparison. SMC provides Student Insurance
automatically ($50 to $90 per year wtiich is not included in
most other colleges.)

Bt*WliaU teams have been
chosen for Intramurals. Tom

dictions out from Las Vegas"

Double AA
Schultz-Nafie 9-3

■Brai Schultz leads this team
and is considered the most
dominating force in the
league. This team gambled on
the talents of new student
Robert Bovell. Bovell seems
very capable of living up to his
expectations. He is a versatile
and unselfish player.

John O'Brien adds strong
board support, Dave West and
Jeff Lingerfelt will be counted
on for outside scoring. This
team has excellent quickness
but may lack in the ability to
score consistantly from out-
side.

Price-Botimer 8-4

Doug Price, 1980 Rees
Series M.V.P., leads this very
strong unit. This team has the
best inside-outside balance
with Price on the inside and
David Botimer on the outside.
Mickey Abbot will compliment
this team with his solid overall
abilities. Verle Thompson and
Bob Leonard will round out
what should be a very large
starting five. This squad lacks
overall team speed but if they
work together this combina-
tion could be

Prusia-Creamer 6-6

Rick Pnisia, 1980 Double
AA league M.V.P. must once
again bring his talents to the
gym for this team to go. Rick
has the best shot of all the big
men in the league. Alvin
Franklin is a highly talented
freshmen and must produce
immediately so his team wUl
not collapse on Prusia. Dick ,
Creamer and Kevin Siver will
do the outside scoring.
Overall scoring and re-
bounding may be this teams
downfall.

Rathbun-Harriston 5-7

Paul Rathbun leads a team
with a lot of question marks.
Rathbun is the best scorer in
the league when he is hot.
Derrick Hartison is the big
question mark. Nobody really
knows how good this big guy
is. Probably this team will go
as Derrick goes. Dean Mad-
dock, Wayne Johnson and
Byron Rouse will round out a
relatively short team. This
team is definitely the dark
horse and could knock off
anybody at any time.

Creamer-Ware 4-8

This team is led by the best
guard in school, David
Creamer. David also has
excellent leadership abilities.
These abilities will be severly
tested this year. Stuart Ware
is still improving and will
nrovide most of the inside

punch. Unlike most teams
this team will be primarily
oriented to the running game
and the outside game. Marty
Wold will compliment
Creamer at guard. Brad
Durby and Reno Thompson
will give this team a rugged
back line.

gA League

For A League, you will have
to excuse me for my ignorance
in not knowing quite as much
about the players in this
league as in AA. I have put
together some predictions so
you can prove just how great
my ignorance is.

Cain

This team appears to me to
be the strongest team and the
one that will come out on top.
The combined talent of Al
Cain, Sam Hutchins, and
Steve Aviles, along with the
height of Keith Tucker and
Dariel Starkey make this a
well-rounded team.

Faculty

This team welcomes the
presence of new comer Dear
Qualley and , also, the return
of Dr. Dualn. Qualley adds
size and an inside scoring
threat, while Dulan's quick-
ness adds to the all-around
play of the team. Coach
Jaecks will be called on for any
outside shots outside 25 feet

A team that has a lot of

could spoil me prediction and
become the team to be reck-
oned with. Brian Aalborg and
Jesse Mock are the two main-
stays of this team and they will
be backed up be the hustle of
Ron Shaffer, Denny Nooner
and Greg Culpepper.

These team appear to be the
three strongest teams. I'll
pick Rouse and Jansen as
possible dark horses. As for
the other teams you have the

However, they will have to
control Jeff Raibles kindness

As far as the other teams

Introspect: Wisdom from Kings & Wisenwti

How could I be so fortu-
nate? This type of thing just
didn't happen to me very
often. Ever since August when
I had dropped her off at SMC,
I had really missed that girl I
met last summer. The timingi
The circumstances and at-
mosphere surrounding the
first real meeting and com-
munication with her were so
perfect. We both seemed to be
precisely what the other had
been needing and searching
for so long. And now, once
again everything had fallen
into place, and I would be able
to make a weekend trip to see
her.

I hurriedly packed my suit-
case, jumped in my car, and
headed for SMC and the
faculty home she was staying
in because of the excess of
students in the dorm.

Along the way, I began
thinking of something very
special that I could get for her.
It had to be something that
would really lift her spirits and
make her happy all the next
week, for I would only be able
to stay from Friday evening
until Saturday evening.

Just before I got to College-
dale, I stopped and picked out
the most lovely flowering

plant I could find. I could
hardly wait to present it to '
her. I decided to give it to her
just before 1 left so that it
would tend to counter my
departure, and give her some-
thing to be really happy about
after I was gone.

The closer I got the more
excited I became. I tried to
visualize walking up to the
front door, her reception of
me, and the warm flood of
good feelings and happiness.

At last 1 drove up to her
house. My heart was doing
funny things, and I searched
the windows half expecting to
see someone eagerly peering
from behind the draperies.
But there was no one. I walked
toward the front door con-
stantly anticipating some sort
of eager welcome. I rang the
doorbell. After several rings,
the door was opened by Mr.
and Mrs. Faculty's little boy.
He said everyone was very
busy at the moment (even
though it was nearly sundown
and Sabbath).

I stepped in and sat down.
Perhaps fifteen minutes later
she dashed down the hall,
stuck her head full of curlers
around the door and said she
was sorry that everything was

The family didn't make it to
family sundown worship at the
beginning of the Sabbath. It
seemed that all were just too
involved with last minute pre-
parations. Finally, she and I
got a few minutes together
later on in the evening after
she and Mrs. Faculty finished
planning the next day's meals,
the young son's "church
toys" had been found, and a
merry romp through the house
with the family's non-TV en-
tertainment, a domesticated
chimpanzee was finished. She
spoke mainly of school, the
latest fashions, and "com-
munity news."

Sabbath morning I got up
early and had a nice long
conversation with my Father.
The rest of the household
arose much later, barely in
time for church (we missed
Sabbath School). The little boy
complained all through church
because of his empty stomach,
a result of missing breakfast.
This put Mrs. Faculty in a bad
mood, so after lunch my friend
suggested that we escape into
nature at a nearby lake. Great,
I thought, maybe now we'll
get some time alone to share
with each other our thoughts
and lives.

For some reason, she felt
that the afternoon just would
not be fulfilling unless we
invited a group of her friends
along. We all piled into a
couple of cars rolled all the
windows down, and roared off
towards "nature," the beach
out at Chickamauga Dam. I
listened to their shrieks of

We squealed into the park-

around a bit to see who was
there, etc. We parked, and
strolled towards the scantily
clothed mob sprawled all over
the beach. Picking our way
through the crowd to a rather
open spot, we noticed many
other SMC kids on the beach
with radios blaring WFLI and
WGOW towards the Sabbath
sun. All decided that the most
worthwhile thing to do was to
catch a few rays, so they all
reclined onto their COORS
and BUDWEISER beach
towels. The wafting cigarette
smoke and scent of liquor
made me nauseated, and I
suggested to my friend that
we take a walk up the lake.
She was too tired. I left the
group and crowd and found
my way up the lakeline to a
little peace and serenity.

There I contacted Father once
again and was comforted after
feeling anguished over what I
had just been through. A few
hours later I returned just as
they all awoke. The sun was
quickly setting, and as I
approached, I overheard her^
and her friends discussing
what they would do after I left
that evening.

After we sped back to the
house where she was staying,
I prepared to go. As she led
me to my car I really wondered
if she had wanted me to come.
I had driven several miles
when I looked over in the
other floorboard and saw my
gift. I had forgotten to give it
to her. Then I realized that she
probably wouldn't have
wanted it anyway, so I drove
on towards my hone.

Are we like the girl on one

so, how are our lives a direct

A question was posed to me that I felt was food tor
thought, "Where is a RA when you need one?" Now, we
all know where they are at 10:30 p.m. (they know where we
all are as well), we also know where they are when we are
poppingpopcorn in the room, or playing the stereo a touch
too vigoriously. They seem to appear when the filter has
been neglected, you're running late for Sabbath School, or
pounding cement naUs in the wall. But what about those
rare times when, for reasons beyond your control or
course, you are locked out of the room?

After feverishly knocking on every RA's door for six
floors, to no avail, a desperate attempt is made at the front
desk, no help there as they are "not allowed." Nearing
tears as you think about the class, date, meeting worship,
basketball game, etc., you are missing, you head out to
find your roommate who is at any one of 93 places.

"Where is a RA when you need one?" Why, at a class,
date, meeting, worship, basketball game, etc., of course
(with apologies to faithful RAs).

Dear Editor,

Last year about this time, 1
was looking through the S.M.
call book and came across an
opening for teaching in a
school named Majuro Elemen-
tary School. It also said that
this school was in the Guam-
Micronesia Mission which
sounded like a nice place to
teach. Knowing very little
about the Pacific Islands, I
thought that the school was on
the island of Guam, because it
was in the Guam-Micronesia
Mission. It never dawned on
me or Karen that there was a
tiny island called Majuro. As
crazy as it may seem both of
us ended up being cleared by
the G.C. to go as SM's to an
island named Majuro. and yet
we still find out that we were
not going to Guam, but to this
tiny atoll seven degrees north
of the equator, which is not
even on most maps, we just
about died. If you happen to
look up Majuro in the world
atlas, you may wonder if there
really is any land there at all. I
know I sure did.

If you've never heard of
Majuro, don't feel stupid.
From the air it looks like a
long, skinny curled-up noodle,
and when we were landing we
wondered if the "noodle" was
wide enough to land on.
There's just not much to this
island. Actually the island is
30 miles long and only one-
half mile across at the widest
point. The highest natural
point is only 20 feet which we
jokingly call Mt. Majuro.
Although there are no moun-
taineering challenges here, I
have climbed everything from
coconut trees to a 150 foot
water tower, the latter of
which I was almost arrested
for..

The weather here is practi-
cally the same year round. The
highest recorded temperature
is 91 degrees and the lowest is
69 degrees. Sounds rough,
doesn't it? We'll be thinking
of all you people back at SMC
when it's 33 degrees and
sleeting outside and we're
out in the warm tropical sun.

Some of the things the
eleven of us SM's do for fun
are shelling, snorkeling, and
SCUBA diving. The coral reef
is incredibly beautiful and is
teeming with marine life of
seeming endless varieties.
SCUBA diving is especially
good on the ocean side of the
atoll where the visibility can
be 100 to 200 feet. It's almost
like air at times. Whenever we
go diving we see a lot of
white-tipped. black-tipped,
and gray reef sharks, so we
always take along a bang stick
loaded with a .357 magnum
shell just in case. On our

In these last few months

SMC, but this experience k
worth the year awav fr

on the Lord to make it from one
day to the next and that's good

for me. Please pray for all of us
out here. The work is great and

didn't see any sharks, but we
did see three large spotted
leopard rays harmlessly cruis-

turtles, octopus, squid, flying
fish, porpoise, and many other
"various and sundry" marine
life. It's all very fascinating
and fun, but we do work out
here. In fact, we do a lot more
work than play.

I'm teaching 28 seventh and

one of the most challenging
age groups. Teaching is no

how expensive homes
these days. You're not going to
believe this, but someone told
me they heard you had found a
nice little place and that the
government is going to pay the
rent for you. I can picture you
laughing out loud at that one!
I'm telling you, Ron, people
are getting crazier these days.

How are Nancy and the kids?
I saw a picture of one of the
youngsters in "Newsweek"
the other day. My, how they've
grown! It seems like just
yesterday when they were out
in my backyard building a
"tepee" out of a blanket and
some kitchen chairs I had lent
them. They were so cute!

In case you hadn't heard
about it, I'm writing a column
for a college paper this year.

miss the good old days when

Don't ask me how I found out
about it. Let me just say that
news has a way of spreading
until it eventually seems as if
the whole world is in on the
story.

This is probably as good of a
time as any to tell you not to
worry too much about that loan
I gave you a few years back.

man now doesn't mean that
I'm going to be bugging you
about a payment. I know in this

CAREERS Cont. from Centerfold

Job-humiiig defies quick-success formulas, but most job
counselors recommend the following steps for almost
anyone entering the job market:

IDENTIFYING SKILLS AND INTERESTS

Make a list of your greatest skills, with the aid of
objective testing if necessary. Decide what kind of task you
most enjoy, drawing from previous experience at work, in
academic study, hobbies, or recreation.

APPLYING SKILLS

With the help of friends, counselors and occupational
indexes, identify those fields that make best use of your
skills and interests. Use trade-association magazines and
other literature to learn as much as possible about those
fields. Develop contacts - speak with old friends,
schoolmates, people already employed in the field you wish
to enter. Gradually, articulate a clear job objective.

THE SEARCH

Use directories and contacts to identify all employers in
your field, whether or not announced vacancies exist.
Develop a resume that focuses on your job objective and
skills, not just past employment, and accompany a resume
with a letter aimed for the job you want. In arranging
interviews, avoid personnel departments when possible. In
the interview, stress the link between your skills and the
task that needs to be performed. Be assertive,
self-confident, and ask questions. Follow up each interview
with a letter.

I and jumped in to try and
r hook. There's no
need to thank me again for
rescuing you that day.
Remember what I told you? All
I asked in return was that you
try and make something of
yourself some day. I'm sure, if
you work hard enough at it, you
will.

I'm still hoping you'll get a
chance to drop by and see me
sometime. Just make sure you
bring a sleeping bag, as I don't
have one and you'll have to
sleep on the floor. Nancy could
come too since I have some
ft-iends in Thatcher Hall who

would be glad to have her
spend the night with them.

My girlfriend and I have
been thinking about coming up
your way someday. Is your new
home big enough that there
would be room for us to stay
with you? Any place would do.
It doesn't have to be fancy.

I guess I better close and get
back to the old grind. If you
ever need anything, let me
know. Maybe you'll come up
for a job promotion sometime
and I can write your boss a
letter of recommendation for

Tell everyone "hello" for

me. I heard that the Bush
family decided to move out
near you, so give them a
special greeting. Tell George
that I'm sorry I haven't had
time to answer his letter yet,
but that I'll get around to it as
soon as I have a chance.

Your friend,

P.S.

Remember that young fellow
who used to mow our lawns for
us on Sundays? Would you
believe that he's here teaching
Foundations of Biology?!!

Retreat Planned for Engaged

how to

A weekend retreat for en-
gaged couples, sponsored by
the chaplain's office, will be
held at Cohutta Springs on
February 6 and 7. Karen and
Ronald Flowers will be guest
speakers.

The weekend will focus on
themes of self-concept, mari-
tal expectations, communica-
tion (roadblocks, depth-listen-
ing, depth-sharing, complet-
ing the communication cycle),
your temperament (using the
four temperament discovery

instrument), and roles explo-
ration (making conflict crea-
tive). The Flowers will be
weaving throughout the great
Biblical themes of personal
worth through Christ, male/
female equality, mutual sub-
mission, and companionship
marriage. There will be lec-
ture material, exercises done
individually and together, and
time for couples to talk to-
gether.

Ron and Karen Flowers
have attended many work-

shops and presently are assis-
tant directors of Home and
Family Services of the General
Conference.

The weekend is for engaged
couples only and they must
come as a couple. The fee for
food and lodging will be $10. If
needed, transportation will
leave at 5 p.m. on Friday,
February 6 and return Sunday
morning. Interested couples
should contact Elder Jim Her-
man in the chaplain's office in
the Student Center.

Southeast

^The Nation's
Job Prospects

And so after four years of college, it is time for all students (of all sizes) to go forth
and work in the Real World. Because of this, we have decided to give you a few tacts
about the job market here and across the country, hints on how to get them, and

" The information below applies to EVERYONE, not just seniors. After all, we are
in college to better ourselves and prepare for the future and the jobs that it has to
offer.

Middle West

The outlook in the Southeast continues to be promising
"By all accounts, we have had a good and steady growth of
employment in the region," said E. Evan Bronson, director
of intergovernmental affairs of the Southern Growth
Policies Board, an economic-research organization in
Raleigh, NC "And in the 1980's expect the pattern to
continue, perhaps not as rapidly as in the 1970-s but still
very well by national standards."

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics office in
Atlanta, which keeps records for Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Tennessee, the fastest-growing sectors are
and will be services and government. Labor experts note
that industry continues to move to the Southeast:
electronics into south Florida, high technology to Georgia,
and North Carolina and rubber, steel and manufacturing to
all the states.

Florida, with a population of about nine million, the
largest and fastest-growing state in the region, accounts for
much of the job gains. In the last 12 months, employment in
electronics grew by 25 per cent, to about 45,000 people.
Westinghouse, General Electric, Rolls-Royce, and West-
ern Electric have recently announced plans to build plants
in Florida.

Middle Atlantic

Throttled by high energy costs and wounded by
recession, manufacturing in the Middle Atlantic region
faces an uncertain future. Services and trade are slack,
with mild hopes if the overall economy improves.
Construction is off as mortgage rates rise again. Only in the
handling of money — banking it, insuring and litigating
with it and gambling it — does the market show real
promise,

Atlantic City gambling is — and should remain the
region's major boom industry. New Jersey's Office of
Labor Market Information estimates that this summer
15,400 people were directly employed in this field — one
that didn't exist four years ago.

Of the Middle Atlantic states, Pennsylvania has suffered
most from the recession, with unemployment at 9.3 per
cent in July. The numbers reflect the state's dependence
on the crippled steel and auto industries.
Maryland's heaviest unemployment is in the manufactur-
ing areas of Baltimore and the western part of the state.
Delaware and New Jersey have also been hurt by their
reliance on manufacturing in general and on chemicals in
particular.

In New York State, with a more balanced economy,
unemployment rose only three-tenths of 1 per cent in the
last year, the region's best performance.

Finance, insurance, real estate and services reported
employment gains last year despite the recession.
"Whenever we have a new building. 1 see law firms taking
floors and hiring people," said M. Walter D'Alessio.
executive vice-president of the Philadelphia Industrial
Development Corporation.

Dr. F. Gerard Adams, a University of Pennsylvania
economist who is consultant to Wharton Econometric
Forecasting Associates, predicted that over the longer run
the energy crunch that has so damaged the area will help it
rebound. Coal should pick up strongly within five years, he
said, and abondoned plants would be ideal for synthethic-
fuel facilities.

The outlook in the Middle West's largest population
concentration, around Chicago, Is bleaker than a year ago,
but there are upbeat sectors. In Chicago, a substantial
decline in manufacturing and weakness in retail-trade and
residential construction have been accompanied by
shrunken opportunities in steel and auto-related industries

An office boom is under way in Chicago. Areas enjoying
growth include finance, transportation, law, communica-
tion services and computer services. Accountants and
executive secretaries can practically name their price.
Nonresidential construction is extremely strong in Chicago
International banking and futures trading are still strong.
Shortages still occur in the medical, clerical and financial
areas. A boom in hotel building has led to increasing job
opportunities in low-wage hotel occupations.

Women are moving into hotel operations, advertising
and public relations and medicine, with fewer advancing in
construction and manufacturing. More men are choosing
office and health-services jobs over factory work.

Minneapolis has strong opportunities, especially in the
computer field. Milwaukee has a very healthy economy,
with executive and managerial jobs. Cincinnati and
Milwaukee are moving into robotics. Western Michigan is
growing, with towns such as Lansing and Kalamazoo
offering many relatively low-paying jobs.

Souttiwest

The Southwest has weathered the economic storms of the
last year well, and most of its growth is related to oil and
natural gas. John W. Shcroeder, vice president and
partner in charge of the Dallas office of William H. Clark
Associates, said that the petroleum industry's personnel
shortage was forcing the use of nontraditional methods,
such as radio advertising, to find technical personnel,
especially petroleum engineers and geologists. He also
sees a spurt in consulting on the technical side of the
industry.

Banking . manufacturing and distribution, in both Dallas
and Houston, are expected to expand within the next year.
The Houston-area job market has grown so much that
two-year-old Texas Employment Commission projections
for 1985 have already been surpassed. John Cox. who
handles economics and research for the commission in
Houston, sees no letup in employment growth in the
Southwest for several years at least. The most frequently
listed jobs are now for nurses, clerical help and retail sales.

Mr. Schroeder predicted that the electronics industry
would be moving branches out of California to the
Southwest, especially Dallas. All across the Southwest,
computer programmers and systems analysts are expected
to be in heavier demand than elsewhere in the nation. The
region will also be a job mecca for people with two-year
technical school educations.

Sharon Cohany, research analyst for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, sees the most rapid growth of jobs in
engineering, the health-services area, accounting and
related fields and all clerical ?

against a 7.7 per cent national rate, and preliminary
indications are that those figures will improve over the next
few months.

In the defence-related high-technology fields, jobs are
now available for computer specialists, programmers,
engineers and clerical workers. Among the computer
concerns around Boston, emphasis will be on the new
software over the next several years.

According to the New England Regional Commission, a
quasi-Federal coordination group that promotes economic
development in New England, the region's economy is
expected to continue outpacing the national average. "We
are expecting growth in a lot of diverse areas," said
Suzanne Lorant. the commission's senior economist.

Substantial gains are not expected in blue
collar occupations, al least until 1982 or 1983. "Textiles
and apparels remain stable." said Lynn Brown, assistant
vice-president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston,
"But it will take them a while to bounce back."

Many service industries, including financial manage-
ment, consulting, accounting, and security services, have
proved fairly recession-resistant, and are expected to grow,
especially in Connecticut. Development is expected in
Maine's paper industry and tourism in Vermont and New
Hampshire.

Making Career
Decisions

For those in college who are facing career decision, here
is a checklist of things to do, compiled from the advice of
career counselors from across the country.

I Begin career homework early. Freshman year Is not too
soon to make your first visit to the Testing and Counseling
Office. The staff there have vocational tests or other
methods for self-analysis on hand. In addition, they may be
able to help you plan your time out of class in order to take
advantage of opportunities (part-time jobs, internships,
on-campus workshops, etc.) that may increase your
marketability,

Z Learn as much as you can about jobs within the
professionCs) you think you might want to enter. Ask for
names of alumni who are in the field. Write to them and ask
them how they got started and what specifically it is that
they do.

O Don't be completely discouraged by reports of lack of
jobs in an area that you really want to enter. It may take
more work and a longer time, but college placement officers
unanimously agree that if you want the Job badly enough,
have planned your college years well and are willing to be
flexible you can probably find work. This is one place where
eariy planning can really pay off.

4 Be patient. Start the actual job-finding process early in
your senior year. Instructors can help you with resume
writing and interview techniques. Take advantage of these
services.

5 Don't restrict yourself geographically. There are areas of
the country that have been more hard hit by the recession
than others. Though there are opportunities everywhere, it
is not wise to assume that the job of your dreams is to be
found only in a major urban area such as New York or Los
Angeles.

View from the Stands

The basketball season here
at SMC has jumped off to a
great start. Only one week has
past but in that one week we
have witnessed some very
exciting games. The overall
balance in each of the leagues
has led to some very close
games. There is only one
league that has a single team in
first place and in that league
six teams are tied for second
just one game back. If this first
week is any indication of what
is to come in the future, we can

all look forward to a very
exciting and enjoyable basket-

league highlights;

■'AA

FRED FULLER

COLLEGEDALE

Out of the
league games played so far, 4
of them have ended with 1
point margins. Two of the
games have gone into over-
time, one ending in a 3 point
difference and the other a 1
point difference. The biggest
winning margin has been 7
points, so with this type of
balance it promises to be close
in "AA" league.

The teams of Rick Prusia and
Buck Schultz have tied for the
lead in this league with 2-1
records. Both of these big men
have been key players for their
teams with co-captain Dick
Craemer helping Prusia's
team and newcomver Robert
Bovellprovingtobeabigasset
for Schultz' s team . Stuart
e's team is at 1-1 and has
been led by an all around
hustling team effort. Ware and
Brad Durby have been the
main contributors in their
teams games. Doug Price's

team has suffered two 1 pomt
defeats and are at 1-2. Pnce
has been carrying the teams
scoring load for the past two
games with 27 points in neach
games with 27 points in each
game. Paul Rathbun's team
got off to a slow start with two
losses but has since picked up a
victory. It was Rathbun's hot
shooting that brought this
team their first win as he shot
14 of 22 from the field, 8 for 11
in the second half.

"A"

"A" league shows Cain and
Rouse on top with 2-0 records
followed closely by faculty at
1-0. Several teams are just one
game back with ,500 1-1
records.

Al Cain's team appears to be
very strong as they picked up
two solid victories. Sam
Hutchins has been Cain's
leading scorer but their main
asset is their balanced attack.

Gary Rouse's team came up
with a key victory over Cul-
pepper to push his team into a
tie for first. Strong rebounding
and some good shooting from
Tim Rushing has been this
teams strong points.

The faculty haven't had a
chance to play their second
game yet but appear to be a
team that will have to be
reckoned with. They were led
by Dean Qualley in their first
game as he netted 21 big ones.

Paul Jansen's and Tedd
Webster's teams are both at
.500 just 1 game behind the
leaders.

As predicted, Shaw's team
have found themselves all
alone in first place with a 2-0
record. They have picked up
two impressive victories with
Jeff Kuhlman and Bucky
Knecht leading the way.

The thing to be pointed out
in this league is that six teams
are tied for second just 1 game
behind the leader. If someone
can knock off Shaw, this league
will see several teams tied for
first.

"WOMAN"

After the first week four
teams remain undefeated and
tied for first with 2-0 records.

Dortch has picked up two

solid wins with Tamara and
Robin Dortch being the key
players on this team. Velvet
McQuistan and Jenny give this
team some height and have
been doing a good job
rebounding.

Kiture has won both games
by big margins scoring a lot ofi
their points on fast breaks.
Andrea Kiture and Gloria
Florence are the two big play
makers for this team. Dawn
Rongus adds some all around
ability to this team too.

Bishop has the strongest
center in the league plus good
all around talent. With this

combination they will prove to
be tough to stop. Their first two
wins came easy with Debbie
Morgan doing most of thier
scoring. Bishop and host are
the teams outside scoring
threats.

Richards also has put two up
in the win column with no
loses. This team realies heavily
on the scoring of Jenny
Laurencell. Nancy Richards
directs the offense for this
team.

The other teams in the
league will have to beat these
top four if they wish to get into
contention.

Introspect: Wisdom

January 22,1981/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/7

from Kings & Wiseman!

{Your religious editors re-
cently discovered the follow-
ing translation from the June
4. B.C. 2001 Shinar Daily
Journal. It appears to b • the
comments of ce Lain learned
men concerning the preaching
of a man named Noah. We
thought it contained some
illuminating points. With the
prayer that it speaks to con-
temporary life, we have de-
cided to reprint the text of the
translation here in The South-
ern Accent.

J.V. Jabal. Ph. D., profes-
sor of religion at the Univer-
sity of the Euphrates- I would
like to direct my comments
concerning this "water and
brimstone" message to a few
doctrinal inaccuracies which
are exposed in Noah's preach-
ing. First of all, I would like to
note that Noah has labelled
the actions of this generation
"immoral" and "wicked". 1
truly believe that such value
judgements are uncalled for,
as well as unchristian. Mr.
Noah surely must understand
that times have changed.
Decisions as to whether an
action is right or wrong are not
as clear as Noah would make
them. There are no such
black-and-white matters.
Times have changed since
doing right was as simple as
deciding if one should eat
from a certain tree in the
middle of a garden. Mr. Noah
must realize this fact before he
will receive any kind of a
hearing.

Secondly, Noah is also stat-
ing that whoever does not
come into his huge wooden
contraption will be destroyed
by God. Yet, Noah also
speaks of a God of love. There
are two errors 1 would point
out in this reasoning. I would
first note the paradox of
Noah's God of love who also
destroys. Noah is sadly

mistaken. He needs to waJce
up and realize that if God is as
loving as Noah claims Him to
be (aifd I believe He is). He
will never destroy His own
creatures. Never! The second
mistake Noah makes is by the
sheer folly of his proud sinful
nature. He believes that to be
saved, one must come on HIS
boat. "Do it my way!", he
says. Anyone who is trained
in theology (obviously Mr.
Noah is untrained) would
know that there are many
ways to be saved. Not only
does Noah lack Christian love,
but theologically, he is all wet.
A.V. Cain, Ph. D., Chairman
of Meteoroligists at the
Worid's Weather Bureau- I
have been asked to write for
the Shinar Daily Journal con-
cerning the statements of a
certain deluded preacher
named Noah. It has been
reported to me (the matter
does not merit my personal
visit) that this Noah has made
some rather wild claims. To
set your minds at ease I will
respond to these claims.

First of all, Noah is actually
saying that water will descend
from the sky. I have only one
word in response to this:
Absurd! This reversal of
nature's previous patterns has
never occurred before, and I
might add, it never will hap-
pen. I would ask Noah,
"Where will this water come
from? Out of thin air?" I
perceive that Noah has not
even studied the elementary
principles of meteorology.

But, not only is Noah claim-
ing torrents of water will gush
from the sky, he is also saying
this water will engulf the earth
and destroy everything. This
lie is unworthy of comment.
However, 1 would add this; If
something has never occurred
in two thousand years, it will
not happen! It is as simple as
that.

sM^m^^

M.N. Enos, Ph.D., "profes-
sor of biology at the University
of Nod-In response to Noah's
claims that animals will follow
him into his wooden house, I
would say, "Absurdl Non-
sense!" Anything else hardly
need be said, but for those of
you who desire an explanation
of why this could not occur, I
would direct you to the fear
with which animals look upon
man. Since we have began
killing and eating animals,
they have gained an obvious
distrust for man, and these
feelings of hostility which they

Vice-President: This person
must be willing to work well

ted, the vice-president serves
as active president until the
next election.

Social Activities; This job is

have toward us will not change
even if some two-bit preacher
says they wUl. Noah is crazy!

Dr. N. Samech, Clinical
Psychiatric Counselor at East
of Eden Hospital- Mr. Noah
exhibits solid evidence of
mental derangement. In sup-
port of this, I would offer these
two facts. Primarily, Noah is
embarking on a course where
no one will follow. If his
scheme were not so crazy, he
might fool someone. How-
ever, such a wild plan as his

11 not even convince the

uneducated. He will be lucky
to deceive his own family into
following him.

Then, there is also the
problem of Noah's obsession
with his work. He has lived "it,
breathed it, and worked it,
day-in and day-out for the last
one hundred and twenty
years. Obviously, anyone this
intense needs mental help.
Readers, for your comfort,
please remember this; Noah
cannot be the only one right.
It is impossible!

February 9-14 has been set
aside as Black History Week.
The first Negro History week
was started by Carter G.
Woodson in 1926. The purpose
of the week was to focus on the
achievements of blacks that
are not recorded in history
books.

Normally when you think of
blacks in American History,
you think of men. This year,
however, the first event will be
"Excerpts of Famous Black
Women", presented Tuesday
at chapel. These biographical
talks will be presented by
students on women such as
Coretta Scott King (Martin
Luther King's wife), Marcia
Miles, and Harriett Tubman.

Thursday chapel will be in
the gym featuring the movie,
"Martin Luther King, Jr.-
From Birmingham to
Memphis".

Friday evenmg vespers will
be presented by Elder Barry
Black, chaplain at the United
States Naval Academy in
Annapolis, Maryland, He will
speak on the contributions of
Martin Luther King to

America. Elder Black is well-
noted for his representations of
Reverand King. He has
memorized many of his
speeches, and you will note
that the voice flectuations,
pauses, etc., of King are
reflected in Elder Black.

Sabbath afternoon at 4 p.m.
in the academy auditorium, the
Adventist Forum will discuss,
"Blacks in the Adventist
Church." Elder E. E. Cleve-

the panel.

Elder Grant will conclude
the Sabbath and Black History
Week with Meditations in the
church at 6 p.m.

When asked why he felt
Black History Week was im-
portant, Dr. Dulan said.
"Many blacks, as well as
whites, only know about what
has been represented in his-
tory books, as related to blacks
contribution-typically, people
are concerned about slavery.
We must remember that
America is only what it is today
because of what happened in
the past."

Editor: , , ^.

I have just attended the
showing of the final segment of
the "Roots" marathon. 1 have
also heard the author, Alex
Haley, lecturing in the same
auditorium on Saturday night.
About seven or eight hundred
people were present each
evening the motion pictures
were shown and. to judge from
audience reaction, all were
moved by this recounting of
the history of an American
family.

Each of these marathon
evenings involved films every-
one has had a chance to see
before. One of the segments
was even being shown during
Super Bowl XV. The question
arises, how is it that Mr.
Haley's fascinating lecture
was attended by, at most, 300?
A large number of that 300 was
from Chattanooga. The event
was considered important
enough that both the Times
and the News-Free Press sent
reporters, and three radio
, stations sent equipment and
reporters. In addition , tele-
vision reporters and camera-
men from both channel 9 and
channel 12 were there for
practically all of the lecture,
leaving just in time to show
footage during the 1 1 :00 news.
What were the other events
of the evening in the area that
siphoned off so many that only
a pitifully small group was left
to enjoy Mr. Haley's lecture
and question-and-answer ses-
sion? The Kiwanis' showing of
"The Jungle Book" and a
showing in Thatcher Hall of
"The Ghost and Mr.
Chicken". Between them,
possibly almost a thousand
people, plus many otherwise
occupied, chose not to hear
Alex Haley.

As Mr. Haley's summation
appeared for a few minutes at
the end of the last segment of
"Roots" with his face on the
screen and his voice coming
over the loudspeaker. 1
thought to myself if only we
had filmed his lecture and
presented it instead of the man
in person, easily two or three
times as many people would
have come. The Artist-Adven-
ture Series Committee, com-
posed of both teachers and
students, works hard to bring
entertainment to this college
that is both interesting and
valuable. Are films the only
thing that students will go to
see? Sometimes I think the
Artist-Adventure Committee
would have more success if it
just gave up and scheduled
army training films every
Saturday night.

Students in a college envi-
ronment should have access to
more, deserve to have more,
and pay for more than just
day-to-day classes. Many will
look upon these years in
college as halcyon days when
their cultural opportunities,
those things most important
that have to do with the human
spirit created by God, were
greatest. But will they have
taken advantage of it? Or, as
happened this past Saturday
night, will students sell their
birthright for a mess of pot-

tage? Will Southern Mission

January 29, 1981/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/3

The College;

According to Art Jordan

Sickness doesn't pay. After
living a life full of disease and
bacteria, I've become a born
again health fiend. I can now
testify that, as hard as it may
seem, it's worth it to suffer the
mental anguish of abstinence
rather to enjoy the pleasures of
sugar for a season.

I am about to tell my
conversion story. I certainly
don't wish to sound as if I'm
glorifying my wicked past, but
there are some things that
must be told in order to call
intemperance by its right
name. Hopefully, by telling it
like it is, I can save some young
person from the fate that was

I was raised in a fine health
conscious home. I grew up
knowing how to distinguish
between sugar and wheat
germ. Somehow, however,
that old rebelliousness stirred
within me, and I found myself
growing more and more
intemperate.

It started with little things. I
would rush into a grocery store
and buy a candy bar when my
Mom was busy shopping.
Unfortunately, things didn't
stop there. Once I tried an ice
cream cone. And then another.
And another. Finally, I was
sneaking off to the Diary
Queen at every spare moment.

By the time I got to college, I
was a goner. I found myself
making regular trips to the CK
for a milkshake. I knew I was in
the pit of degradation and
there seemed no way out. The
final straw came when I drove
down to Baskin Robbins and
ordered a butterscotch Sunday.
Someone down there must
have recognized me. because I
soon found myself being
escorted into the health service
infirmary.

Let me tell you, it isn't easy
to watch that infirmary door
swing shut behind you--block-
ing off the freedom that you
once knew and held 'so
precious. All I could do was
bury my head in my hands and
weep, I was so ashamed.

A jeering guard threw me
into a small room where I found
myself face to face with the
subwarden. She skipped the
mug shots and the finger-
printing and went right to work
with the Chinese thermometer
torture. I had heard of this
treatment before, but never

knew just how bad it was until I
experienced it. They cram the
thermometer down your throat
and then look at it and say
something like "103". That's
designed to break your spirit. 1
was strong, though. For two
days straight they jammed the
thing in every half hour and
kept saying "103". Finally,
they must have thought my
spirit was defeated, for they
started saying "101" and then
"99".

Upon first entering I had
been allowed my one phone
call. Just to prove how low I
had fallen, instead of calling
my lawyer I had called my
roommate and asked him to try
and sneak some sugar in to me.
It seemed like an eternity, but
he finally showed up and, after
checking the halls to make sure
the guards weren't paying
attention, tookoff his shoe and
pulled an ice cream cone out
from the bottom of his sock.
The warden caught me,
though, and my chances for
getting out on parole were
gone.

The inmates started plan-
ning a riot. We would com-
municate from our beds by
beating bedpans against the
wall in morse code. It was
cumbersome, but we knew that
an infirmary break out was our
only hope.

Someone snuck a file in to
my cell mate, a hardened sugar
junkie who I believe was in for
life. That sent everyone's
spirits up and we started
planning the exact moment for
the escape attempt.

Suddenly, it was over. For
no apparent reason, they let us
all go. I think that maybe the
college president had granted
us all a pardon.

In any case, I'm a changed
man. Now I'm spending my
time working with a group
called Sweet Tooth Anony-
mous. This is a fine organiza-
tion that gives sugar junkies a
chance to get together and
encourage each other to keep
on abstaining.

That's my story. I know it's
hard to believe that a clean cut
fellow like Art Jordan could be
so messed up inside, but it's
true. If you don't believe it, I
snuck back a souvenir pair of
handcuffs from the infirmary
to prove it.

I stepped into the West
Wing of the White House at
11:05 a.m. I carefully sat down
on the plush high-shoulder
sofa in the lobby watching
military and executive person-
nel speed by on various assign-

My eyes toured the large
front room full of antique
furniture. Suddenly, I looked
down the hallway as Jody
Powell rushed out of his office
and into the press room next
door. 1 quickly glanced at niy
brother, widening my eyes as if
to ask, "Was that who I
thought it was?" His look
equalled my expression and
without bothering to conceal
his excitement blurted out in a
whisper, "That was Jody
Powell."

It was hard for me to believe
that 1 was sitting in the
executive offices of the White
House and that in 20 minutes I
would be meeting with the
President of the United States
of America.

This past Thanksgiving 1 had
the privilege to be formally
invited, along with my brother,
Robert, to one of the nation's
most prestigious and historical
landmark-The White House,
the' home where America's

throughout history not only
\ administrated this country, but

r also where some of America's

greatest men lived. This House
would be open for me to
explore.

Several weeks before
I I Thanksgiving, President Car-
I I ter flew to Florida to investi-
I I gate the effects of the riots. My
I I brother attended the open floor

Cenl

Mr. Roman Goes

convention and took advantage
of the question-and-answer
period. Robert asked the
President what it was like to
live in the White House and if
possible, could he be given
formal tour of it.

On Wednesday, November
19, 1980, 1 received a late night
phone call from Robert in
Miami. He explained to me
that he had spoken to Joseph
Murphy, the now former Di-
rector of Appointments and
Admissions in the White
House. Mr. Murphy called on
behalf of the President to
formally invite him to a White
House vi^it and possible inter-
view with Carter himself.

When 1 heard this news my
first reaction was to laugh, and
1 did. I couldn't imagine
anyone in our family ever
visiting the President in his
home. But, my brother isn't
much of a kidder and when his
voice remained serious, it was
then I realized he wasn't
joking. My very own brother
was going to Washington,
D.C. to meet with the Presi-
dent of the United States of
America.

But Robert went on to tell me
that this wasn't the reason thai
he called me. He wanted to
know if I would like to join him
and if so, he needed my social
security number to give to the
White House when they called
him the next day. When I
heard this, my first reaction
was to again laugh, and 1 did.
But Robert was serious and
excited at the same time. In his
calm voice, he phrased the
.question again: "Would you
like to go with me to D.C. and

see the President? Yes or No?"
I had one week to make the
necessary preparations for my
visit. I reasoned with myself
that no matter how many Time
OT Newsweek magazines that I
read, 1 would not be able to
review the entire Carter Ad-
ministration. So I settled on
asking the president simple
questions on domestic issues.
After arranging a meeting time
and place with my brother,
carefully phrasing my ques-
tions on paper, and making
sure the White House cleared
me, I was ready and on my way
to meet the President.

The day of the meeting
began with a cold morning.
The chilled air rushed through
me as I tried to convince the
officer at the gate that I did
indeed have an appointment
with the President.

"Believe me, officer." I
explained, "my name is Frank
Roman and I have an 11:30
a.m. appointment to meet with
Mr. Carter." Somehow I was
not getting through to him.
Why didn't he have me on his
records of appointments?
What if I had not been cleared?
Could it be possible for them to
arrest me? 1 became more
nervous and much colder as I
stood in front of the gate
window waiting to be admitted
for my very exclusive inter-
After a few minutes of silent
brainstorming, I remembered
Joe Murphy. Again I ap-
proached the police officer at
the gate window and noticed
the other three officers
laughing. I knocked on the
window, "Officer," 1 said in an
important sounding voice,
"contact Joe Murphy, I'm sure
he'll explain things to you."

"Oh. Mr. Murphy knows
that you're coming here?" he

"Yes. sir."

"We'll call and clear up this
thing, OK?"

By this time Robert had
arrived and I briefed him on all
that was happening. A few
minutes later, the officer
second in command handed us
our "Official Visitor's Pass".
With a very formal tone, he
smiled and directed us to the
West Wing entrance. Joe had
requested that the officers
send us by the official entrance
because we were here at the
President's ihvitation.
Itwas 11:30 a.m. ana we wei .
still waiting nervously for our

visit. The questions I had
planned to ask the President
kept running through my
mind. I carelly phrased each
one to myself as 1 watched the
desk officer write and keep
track of the appointments for
that day. I settled back in the
sofa while imagining how I was
to act with the President, when
Joe Murphy, a tall, brown-
haired, executive-type entered
the room.

"He's young," I though to
myself as Robert and I intro-
duced ourselves to him. He
shook our hands and greeted
us with a warm diplomatic
manner. Before we even began
the tour, Joe hit us with the bad

"Guys," he bagan, "The
President won't be able tp
meet with you today. He's
been called to Camp David and
must leave by 12 this after-
noon. I'm sorry."

We were shattered when he
told us this. I had come all the
way from Tennessee just to
meet the President in the Oval
office and now we wouldn't
even be able to see him.

"I will, however," he con-
tinued, ' 'escort you to the
South Portico and you will be
able to see the President off."

Washington

less bust of Benjamin Franklin
rested on a solid oak table
across from the bullet proff
French doors. The two Ming
vases that China gave to
President Nixon when he was
in office, sat on two corner
tables near the sofa facing the
famous fireplace where Carter
held his down-home fireside
chats. The door leading into
the office measure almost 8
inches thick and was bolted
shut whenever the President
held Top Secret meetings.

The Cabinet room was
situated across from the Oval
office. On the wall facing the
Oval office hung the original
copy of George Washington
crossing the Delaware KiveE-
During F. D. Roosevelt's
administration, the public
knew this room as the Fish
Tank Room. Roosevelt
delighted in the company of
exotic fishes while he worked
on government issues.

From the West Wing, Joe
showed us the ground floor of
the White House.

"None of the rooms on the
ground floor are open to the
general public." remarked
Joe. "The tourists are only
allowed to walk along the
corridor and amire the paint-
ings of the First Laides. They
especially like the one of Jackie
Kennedy in the golden colored
gown." He motioned towards
it as he said that.

"Can we go into any of the
rooms?" I asked, anxious for
his reply. He stared long at
me, as if in deep thought, then
turned away to use the nearby
security phone. After a few
minutes he returned, smiled,
opened two huge doors and
motioned us into the Dip-
lomatic Reception Room.

Located directly beneath the
oval Blue Room on the first

floi

, the

eptic

sthe

first room entered by guests
invited to a White House State
dinner. Antique wallpaper,
printed in France in 1834,
shows short scenes of "Scenic
America." This panaramic dis-
play features Colonial America
and Its natural beauty, in this
room President Roosevelt held
his fireside chats, broadcast
over the radio and TV.

Next to the Reception Room
IS the China Room where the
official chinaware collection is.
It was begun by Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison. Carefully encased,
this priceless collection dis-
plays antiquated china used by

Colonial America grace Diplomatic Reception Room.

past presidents as far back as
George Washington.

Each president selected the
style of china according to his
personal tastes. China was as
elegant as Calvin Coolidges's
porcelin and as unusual as
Rutherford B. Hayes' oyster
shapped stoneware.

Further down the hall is the
Vermeil Room or the Gold
Room. President Truman
enjoyed playing billiards in
this room, decorated in silver
and gold. Today the First
Laides use this room for the
entertainment of personal
guests or to withdraw from the
White House pressure. The
exquisite French and English
Vermeil pieces stored there are
valued at more than
$1,000,000.

Across from the Vermeil
room is the Presidential Lib-
rary. This room is decorated in
early 19th century and contains
shelves filled with several
thousand volumes of books by
great American authors. A
large portrait of George Wash-
ington hangs stately over the
marble fireplace.

"Hey guys," said Joe, "I'm
going upstairs. I've got to
check with security and clear
you for upstairs."

So Robert and I stood in the
hallway, admiring the portraits
of past first ladies. Joe looked
down the stairs and called for
us to come upstairs. We had no
idea where we were going.

"Where are we going?" I
asked Robert.

"I don't know," he whis-
pered back, "just follow him."
At the top of the stairs we
stopped at the threshold of the
door and stood amazed at what
we saw: a spacious room
decorated in off-white and
gold, sparsely furnished, with

three large crystal chandeliers.
"This," introduced Joe, "Is
the East room."

"Is this where they have the
balls and receptions?" asked
Robert.
"It sure is," smiled Joe.
Amazed at how huge this
room was, I carefully stepped
in to absorb more of its
elegance repressing the over-
whelming desire to break into a
waltz, I investigated the
largest piece of furniture in the
room-the Steinway Piano.

Encased in mahogany wood
and at the request of F. D.
Roosevelt this piano is suppor-
ted with solid brass eagle
figures. My finger carressed
the polished ivory keys and
smooth wood.

"Go ahead and play it,"
boomed a voice from across the
room. I turned quickly to see an
older gentlemen walking
towards the three of us.

"It should be played at least
half an hour every day. The
Carters never bother with it,"
he said. "Go ahead."

I stared at Joe, he shrugged
his shoulders. I looked to
Robert, he did the same.
Slowly I leaned over the
keyboard and ever so gingerly
played a C major chord (the
only one I know). The room _,
echoed with the full sound
from the piano.

' 'That piano has been played
by great musicians. The last
giant to touch those keys was
Duke Ellington." said the
gentleman. "I'm Mr. Pierce,
Chief of Domestic Services
here at the House." He shook
our hands.

Mr Pierce explained to us
that the two immense fu-e-
places at either end of the room
were made from imported red
marble from Italy,

Then Joe took us to the
Green Room, Oval Blue Room,
and Red Room. These rooms
are used as informal parlors.
Mrs. Carter used these rooms
when relaxing with the Pre-
sident after a busy day in the
office.

Connected to the Red Room
is the State Dining Room. Most
of the room is decorated in gold
and white marble. If you were
to be invited to the state dining
room, Dwight D. Eisenhower's
china would be the official
dinnerware. The crystal
glasses are tulip shaped and
the napkins are g61d
embossed,

Standing in the main hall
Joe, Robert, and I gazed up the
red-carpeted stairs to the
second floor living quarters.

"The tour ends here." Joe
remarked, "i hope you enjoyed
it. It's5:30 and I've got to go."
We walked down the hall to
the main entrance and out the
front glass doors.

' 'Joe, thank you so much for
your time," Robert said.

"Iwas glad to help. I'll work
on getting the President to sign
you a picture and mail it to you
soon." He smiled and headed
for the Executive Office across
the street.

Slowly we walked to the
gate. Pulling off my visitor's
pass I asked Robert if he
thought that I should keep it.
But, when we got to the gate
the officers asked for them and
regretfully I handed it back to
them.

Standing on the outside of
the gate I looked back at the
White House that I had just
visited. Shaking my head
disbelief, I turned and posed
for my brofhe

Introspect: Wisdom from Kings & Wisemam

Released 'Hostages' Talk by the Sea of Glass

January 29, 1981/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/7

The two former "hostages,*'
now called "returnees," strol-
led ecstatically across the field
of luscious green that stret-
ched between the Throne of
God and the Sea of Glass. Lost
in wonderment, the two began
to retrace in their minds the
multitude of events that had
taken place within the past few
months (as they used to
measure time on earth).

It had really happened!
Jesus had FINALLY come! The
reality of it was just beginning
to sink in. But then, from the
looks on their faces it was
evident that all eternity could
not provide enough time for
them to fully grasp the wonder-
ful magnitude of His coming
and the end of their earthly

lives.

They had been sitting by the
Sea for some time now, gazing
up into the most loving face in
the universe, the face of
Father. He is seated on the
throne and is receiving thou-
sands of His children all at
once. With some. He visits,
talking with them about many
things: The coming that has
just taken place, the dis-
coveries they've already made
here in Heaven, or whatever is
on their minds. With others
He is simply hugging them
close, telling them that it's all
over now, rest in His love. It's
incredible to watch. The
Father is able to minister to all
His children simultaneously!
As for the two by the Sea, they
are content to bask in th*"

overwhelming pulsations of
love that emanate from Father
to all heaven.

At last, one by the Sea
breaks the revery. "I can
hardly believe that I almost
turned the Lord down when He
began to tug on my heart there
at SMC. Now that I think about
it, the signs of the Coming
were all so clearly before us,"
he continued, "there was no
reason for anyone to miss the
calling to allow God to prepare
us to receive the Latter Rain of
His Spirit. The Lord even
prompted Pastor Webb to
preach on receiving the Holy
Spirit during the final
moments of time as portrayed
in the book of Daniel."

The other by the Sea began

to shake her head. "Howcould
anyone have ignored all of the
controversies within the
church, the way the church was
attacked in the U.S. news
media, and the aims of the
Moral Majority?" She went
on, "but more than those
things, there were the deci-
sions being made in the lives of
church members everywhere. I
can recall attending Pastor
Morris Venden's meetings
back in January and hearing
that some Adventists were
already rejecting the Sabbath
as a result of the shaking
brought on by the contro-
versies." And now a trace of
sadness flickered across her

face as she said softly, "My
friends at SMC began choosing
rapidly, unwittingly, to serve
Satan simply by failing to
choose to follow Jesus." She
continued closely, "But there
was really no excuse. The Holy
Spirit came down and virtually
begged all to accept Jesus and
allow Him to totally take self
away and dwell within,
unhindered by Satan."

The first, turned toward the
other and replied, "You're
right. There was no excuse.
The Spirit of God even used the
Southern Accent from time to
time to sound the news of the
last days."

Someone once said that flowers are the greeting card of a
certain consciousness that can see beyond this very taclty
era. I totally agree. Candy can rot your teeth and make you
fat. but, FLOWERS, they're a different story. They are
ejctravagant, impulsive and extremely nice to get.

I've often wondered what's so great about them, besides
the fact that they look beautiful, and smell divine, all of
them wilt and die sooner or later. So what's the bit deal? I
came to two conclusions: One, getting as well as giving
blossoms make you feel nice. Remember how you felt after
Mom exclaimed so over the dandelions you picked from the
back yard? Didn't you get a warm feeling when she put
them in a vase on the piano in the living room for the world
to see? It's that kind of feeling you get even now when you
surprise someone with violets or daffodils, or maybe they
surprise you.

The second conclusion I've reached is that there's
something extremely gratifying about knowing someone's
dishing out all that money for blooms that are just going to
decay.

What a heavy sign of affection. Just think, your honey
spent money on flowers for you knowing full well that
within three days the petals will fall off onto the floor and be
ground into the carpet. Still the gesture is appreciated.

This Valentine's Day. if no one gives you flowers there is
one down below this editorial for you to color, cut out and
keep. Doesn't that make you feel nice? Have a happy St
Valentine's Day.

Campaign Propaganda Disappearing

Dear Editor:

As we all know it is cam-
paign week and the candidates
are really hitting it hard.
Campaign propaganda is ap-
pearing and disappearing from
literally every door, wall, bul-
letin board, and window. We
have reasons (multi) to believe
that one radical candidate and
his supporters have taken it
upon themselves to decrease
the competition by not only
slanderizing a particular can-
didate, but also removing his
propaganda from the aforesaid
windows, doors, etc. This
appears to us, (the supporters
of the victimized candidate), to
be illegitimate, not to mention
dishonorable political conduct.

February 12, 198I/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/3

The College^^^^^^.
According to Art Jordan

I

Recently my old friend. Dr.
Alexander Slop, took me on a
guided tour through a building
that contained an experiment
dubbed "Project Matrimony."

"It seems," Slop told me,
■■that more and more young
people are finding it conven-
ient to forget marriage and are
jumping straight into living
together instead. The purpose
of this experiment is to find
ways to reestablish the old
marriaee bonds and see if the
'American hitch' can once
again become the rule rather
than the exception."

We began the tour by
looking in through the door of
the first room where secretar-
ies were poring over books and
lictionaries of every sort.

"What's going on in
there?" I wanted to know.

"This." Dr. Slop replied,
"is our 'sweet-nothings' room.
It is here where we find
romantic things for young men
and women to say to each
other. By teaching these
meaningless heart throbs to
prime marriage prospects
throughout the country, we
expect to see a definite in-

"Great gangling gizzards!"
I cried when I peerea m the
door of the next room, "What's"
going on in there?!"

Slop laughed at my reaction.
"This, my friend, is where we
teach young men the true art of
kissing. Ifourtheoryis correct,
the ladies will be so flustered
after being smooched by one of
our students that they'll say
'yes' to anything, including a
marriage proposal." I headed
through the door for a quick
lesson but Slop caught my arm.
"We must continue our tour, "
he lectured, "and besides, you
don't have full security clear-
As we continued down the
hall, we were passed by a
distinguished-looking gentle-
man with horns and a tail.
"Who is that man in the funny
red suit?" I whispered to my
friend.

"That," Slop chuckled, " is
Cupid, the project's director."
"What!" I was not whisper-
ing.this time. "1 thought that
Cupid was a naked little baby
that had wings and carried a
bow and arrow-not a pitch-
fork!"
After laughing uncontrolla-

bly for almost two minutes,
embarrassing me completely.
Dr. Slop exclaimed that he was
"quite surprised and much
amused' ' to find that I believed
in such "fairy-tale hogwash."

Attempting to change the
subject, I asked why the next
room was full of people talking
on telephones. "This is where
we contact all the young men
who are preparing to go to
college," Slop replied, a smirk
still on his face. "Salesmenare
on the phones trying to con-
vince these fellows to become
theology majors." There was
no end to the surprises. Before
I could even ask the meaning of
this, my tour guide was speak-
ing again. "You see, in order
to better their chances of
getting called to a church, a
prospective minister needs to
get married. What better way
to increase the number of
weddings than to increase the
number of preachers." What
could I say? These people had
thought of everything.

The tour was not yet com-
pleted. Chemists were busy
working with sophisticated-
looking equipment in the next
room. Dr. Slop explained that
they were trying to find a
formula that would get the
body chemistry running at
a faster pace and hopefully
would encourage matrimony.
"We've just had a break-
through," he explained. "Now
it's simply a matter of putting
the potion into pills that look
like little green M & Ms,"

Everything I've seen today
has been quite thrilling and
very surprising, to say the
least. ' ' I commented at the end
of the tour. "I'm wondering,
though, what is going to be
done with this building when
'Project Matrimony' is com-
pleted."

' • We hope to incorporate the
project into a full-fledged
business." Slop said thought-
fully. "We're just waiting to
get all the bugs out."

"What are you going to call
the business?" I wanted to
know.

"We've thought about that,"
the good doctor replied. "The
board of directors has just
settled on a reasonable and
simple name-Southern Mis-
sionary College."

Love is an ocean of enrwtions,
entirely surrounded by expenses.

O

the history

.Saint Valentine's Day,
February 14. Who would
believe its origins were
so wrapped in mystery?
Historical sources don't
agree on many points
and on others there is
only myth to turn to.

The celebration of
Valentine's Day seems to
have roots in ancient
Rome where a festival of
love was held for the
young people. When the
Romans invaded Britain,
many of their festivals
were brought with them.
Despite the rise of
Christianity, the people
continued to enjoy many
pagan celebrations. It was
impossible to eliminate
the popular holiday so
Christian priests decided
to dedicate it to a
Christian saint.

Saint Valentine was
elected not because of
any special connection
with lovers, but because
the date of martyrdom
happened to fall in
mid-February. Myth has
it that during his
imprisonment before
execution, he formed a
friendship (fell in love)
with the jailer's blind
daughter, the only person
kind to him. Just before
his death he is to have
sent her a farewell
message signed "from
your Valentino."

Another St. Valentine
was bishop of Interaraa
about 60 miles from
Rome. He was persecuted
for converting a Roman
family to Christianity. He
was beheaded in Rome
about A.D.273.

Centuries later on
February 14, it was the
custom for marriageable
girls to place their

public square. Eager
young men drew a name
from the urn to be his
"Valentine' ' in hopes of
forming a permanent
romance. Another
superstition grew that the
first unattached member
of the opposite sex you
saw on St. Valentine's
Day would be your
sweetheart for the year
and. eventually, your
husband or wife.

By the 1600s the
whole thing had evolved
into a very lighthearted

= Ceii

A /alenti

festivity where even
children and married
persons drew names and
became valentines "at
first sight" on that
special day.

Up to that time, men
had presented their
valentines with gifts, but
as yet, no cards seemed
to be mentioned. During
the 17th century the
bringing of notes to
the one whose name you
drew, with your name,
and a complimentary
"Most Courteous and
Fair" or other phrase
became popular.

In 1640, a small book
called Cupid's Messenger
appeared. It was filled
with verses to help
express those amorous
sentiments. A number of
those ' 'Valentine Writers"
were published and the

tradition about this lover's
day has since been
carried on by spme of
the best poets as well
as some not known.
Because of the expense
of mail, it was usually a
developed skill of slipping
the valentine under the
sweetheart's door,
knocking, and dashing
away without being seen.

In 1857 tl^ere were five
firms making valentines
in New York City. Cards
were also imported from
England, France, and
Germany. During the
1880s mechanical
valentines were perfected.

During Worid War I,
servicemen were fond of
a valentine that was
specially prepared with a
surface that held the
"girl of your dreams"
kiss on it. Under the

space was the following

A KISS FOR YOU!

For Uncle Sam you're
fighting.

And that makes me
love you so

That I send a kiss in
the space above

To take where'er you go.

Centuries after its
beginning, Valentine's Day
is still celebrated. Loved
ones receive gifts;
handmade cards created
with love and great
attention are presented to
parents by their eager
and hopeful children and
lovers chose with care
the messenger of their
affections. Its popularity
may have faded at brief
intervals of time but the
joys of love and caring
on Valentine's Day have
kept this celebration aiive.

valentines? Now take a

' was young. Plans
construction of

the classroom valentine
maillx)x began early in
February. Someone's mom
always provided the
necessary box that we
had the joy of decorating
in Friday afternoon art
classes. It was covered
with red and white
construction paper,
festooned with hearts,
arrows, and cupids, and
held a position of honor
on a table at the front
of the classroom. Paper
arrows on top pointed to
the wide slot where, on
February 14, we would
deposit our stacks of
mail.

A week before the day
Itself was not a bit too
soon to drag mother to
the dime store in search
pf a colorful box of
cards. Classes were larger
then and my little hand
grew very tired trying to

sign all 50 cards for the
right classmates.

The ceremony
surrounding the delivery
of the mail was always
very impressive and full
of pomp. Several of my
classmates (the ones with
high marks in behavior)
were chosen to be the
"mailmen" and received
the honor of passing out
the cards to the rest of
the class. Teacher always
insisted on order and
announced that "We'll go
by rows," so we had to
sit and fidget in nervous
anticipation for our row
to come up.

Several mothers had
"volunteered" (actually,
we helped with the
volunteering) to provide
cupcakes, candy, and
drinks for the festivity
that followed. It was
always more special to
help nnom make them

and be the one to place
the small candy hearts
atop the cupcakes.

Valentine's Day
traditions haven't changed
much over the years. It
is along about seventh
grade that your reputation
is at stake and to avoid
the teasing, you gave In

as not to be tagged

go by, you receive fewer

becoming more picky in
choosing one for that
special person.

Somewhere, though,
they still remain In a
corner of our childhood,
a menwry we are all
reluctant to part with-a
silly or sentimental time
when we could ask each
and all without reserve
"Please Be Mine,
Valentine."

What the flower is saying

While flower symbolism was
once an important part of
ancient religious ceremonies
and seasonal rites, Americ;
in the iSOOs traded flowers a
social pastime. It wa
for courting couples to send
flower messages instead of

according to "Seventeen"

PROOFREADEr,

Students suit up for Cold War.

Dear Editor,

It was like a scene out of the
cold war. Fencing was neatly
cut into little sections and
metal poles were strewn out on
the frozen ground. Obviously
someone was trying to escape
to the "other" side. White
rags tied to the fence wires
waved in the wind and I could
almost hear watch dogs,
east-European language, and
dire threats about planting
land mines. There were only
two problems. First, this was
six o'clock in the morning at
Southern Missionary College,
and secondly, it was my
hard-earned money that was
and still is being used to put
that fence in.

I ask: "Who will win this war
for the use of the grass? Will
the fenced-in area between the
cafeteria entrance and the
men's residence hall become a
bird sanctuary? Will cafeteria
toast keep the mockingbirds
alive? Or is the fence a
cover-up? Is its true work to aid
Health Service nurses in
keeping patients confined for
experiments with the cafe-
teria's new food? Is this proof
that the system can or cannot
be beat?"

Well (as Dr. Grundset would
say), the fence is still in place.
All 1 know is that if you come in

behind the pine trees and go cafeteria. But, uh, don't

around the basement stairs at anybody!

Prayer Room Lost

Dear Editor.

I am very concerned about
what has happened to the
prayer room in the Student
Center. Why did the Student
Association expand and take
the prayer room space? If the
prayer room was not being
used, doesn't that show that
we do not have our priorities in
the right place?

We should have more
spiritually-oriented activities
and less social activities. I

admit I do like the social
activities, but when it comes to
the point where our social life
outweighs our spiritual lite,
something needs to be done!
Our spiritual life should not be
limited to once-a-week on
Sabbath.

Remember why our school
was started and what our
school stands for.

Sincerely,

Cindy Torgesen

Supplement Wanted

Dear Editor:

As I scan the campus this
semester, I have seen many
new faces and beautiful
females that I am not
acquainted with. As I turn to
the Student Association's
guide to names and faces, the
"Joker", I am puzzled by the
absence of these new faces!
Then 1 ask "where's the
supplement?" Yes, solturnto

the supplement to find how to
properly address the new
students, but once again the
enigma is not solved!

So to you, dear Editor and
fellow students I ask, in this
mid-semester's period, where
is the Joker Supplement?

The Gollege^^^^^^
According to Art Jordan

Most college students end up
taking at least one math course
during their stay at SMC.
Whether that course happens
to be "Basic Math" or
"Fundamentals of Euclidean
Geometr>' with an Emphasis on
the Solutions of Partial
Differential Equations"
doesn't seem to make much
difference. The lesson that is
learned is always the same:
the shortest distance between
two points is a straight line.

In an attempt to put their
knowledge into practice,
students find that they are
saving considerable amounts
of time by ignoring the time
wasting sidewalks and cutting
across the grass instead. After
all. a trip from the entrance of
Talge to the cafeteria takes
about 15 seconds less if you
adhere to the straight line
technique rather than the
conventional sidewalk stroll.
This works out to be about a 3
hour savings for the entire
school year, certainly nothing
to sneeze at in this rushed
society.

The thrifty spirit of the
students was. unfortunately,
not appreciated by all. Some
felt that the man hours being
saved was too large of a price to
pay for the destruction of a few
blades of grass.

Enter the Collegedale
Gestapo. Aim: to bring a reign
of terrorto any who dared stray
from the cement sidewalk unto
the sacred grass.

Gone are the days of the
"keep off the grass" signs.
The gestapo refuses to use
such primitive techniques. It
will, instead, use its limitless
funds and power to turn all
sections of trampled grass into
a no-mans-land.

The courageous men and
women who make up this crack
team are obviously experts in
student warfare. Fences have
appeared almost overnight,
thwartmg any efforts to
destroy the precious lawns. In
the days that followed the
initial fence, reinforcements
"ave been added to further
<iecrease the possibility of the
grass receiving cruel and
unusual punishment.

Some remark that these
fences are a worse eyesore
than the trampled grass. Do
""l these shallow minded

people realize that beauty is
not the issue, but rather we are
only concerned with protecting
grass from extinction?
There is some speculation that
these fences are to serve a
double purpose. Not only will
they keep lawn murderers out,
but at the same time they'll
keep wild animals in. That's
right! Rumor has it that SMC,
under the guidance of the
talented gestapo, is about to
begin its own zoo. After all,
why not put these fences to a
dual purpose? Collegedale
may soon become a thriving
metropolis as tourists from all
over the country stop to see the
lions, tigers, and giraffes
standing alongside the paths
that at one time saved so many
students so much time.
While we wait for the animals
to arrive, however, the master
of minds of the gestapo will
have to keep devising ways to
block the efforts of frustrated
students. Don't be surprised
to see more reinforcements
added. It is also quite possible
that guards will be posted on a
twenty-four hour basis. If that
is not enough, students must
also be aware that there is talk
of installing land mines for
those who a'jsolutely insist on
fence jumpmg.

Have these fenced in areas
become a war zone? Yes. We
must keep in mind, however,
that this is all being done for
our own good. Grass is pretty
and it is important that we. as
busy students, have something
pretty to look at once in a while.
One final observation. As I
was walking down the sidewalk
the other day, I noticed that a
horse had found this same
sidewalk an appropriate place
to leave his trademark (no
deposit no return). I was
careful to walk around this
obvious disregard for society
and saw that other students
were also making the needed

My question is this: If a
horse's flagrant action can
serve the purpose of keeping
students off a portion of the
sidewalk, could not the
gestapo tear down the fences,
cover the trampled grass with
horse manure, and thus keep
passerbys on the sidewalks?

Writers selctom write tiie tilings tfiey
think. They simply write the things they
think other folks think they think.

■mere is all the difference in the world between reviewing
and cramming, aamming is a frantic attempt to stuff one's
mind as full as possible of facts and ideas In and for a short
time Review is a re-examination of familiar material to
calify one's understanding, refresh one's memory, and pick
up any material which has been overlooked or has slipped
out of mind.

When you begin to review for a test, glance at your notes
on a topic, or at the topic heading in your book, or the
underlining you did, and then stop and think! Force
yourself to reconstruct the details from memory. Make
yourself restate in your own words the main points and
elaborate on them, to be sure that you know enough about
the topic. After you have done your best to re-think the topic
scan the topic in the book, or look over your notes again, to
see if you overlooked anythina imoortant. (This is
important. Sometimes you may think you know a topic
thoroughly when you really do not. By scanning material as
you review, you not only know that you know it, you also
refresh your memory of it.)

observe these rules:

(1) Read tne question carefuliy. Then re-read it and
express its meaning inyour own words. Check each word in
the question to be sure that your interpretation omitted
nothing important. To give a satisfactory answer to a
question, you have to correctly understand what It is
asking.

(2) Answer the questions you know first. This way you
will be sure not to use all your time puzzling over questions
you do not know the answer to and then run short of 1 1 me for
writing answer you know well. (You should start each
answer on a separate page so that you can keep them in
their proper order.)

(3) Outlne your answer on a piece of scratch paper before
starting to write it in full. In this way you can organize your
thoughts and check your answers against the question for
possible omissions. Writing from your outline, you can
present what you know more clearly and completely than
you could If you just started writing down your thoughts as
they came to you.

(4)Write with a good pen, or a well-sharpened No. 2
pencil so that your writing can be easily read, not be faint,
or blurred, or thick, or with skips in your lines.

(5) Watch your penmanship, spelling, and punctuation.
No matter how much I iterature or history, or whatever, you
may know, it will impress your instructor less if you answer
in a near-illegible scrawl. As a scholar who loves his field,
he is displeased if you discuss It with the misspellings, or if
you leave your meaning difficult or Impossible to fathom
because of poor punctuation.

(6) Read over your answers after you have finished your
paper, checking for thought and completeness, as well as
spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. All these
factors are related to your mastery of a course. (How do you
spell words correctly without access to a dictionary, which
you are unlikely to haveduring tests? By noting the spelling
of words that are not thoroughly familiar to you while you
are studying, and looking up the spelling when you use
them in papers you prepare outside of class!)

What is involved in answering a question "complete" is
determined by the question wording itself and the
preference of individual profesors. From tjje number of
questions on the test and the amount of time you are
allotted, you can form a rough approximation of how fully
he wants the questions answered.

(7) Count your questions and answers before you hand
your paper in, to be sure you did not overlook any. Be sure
your pages are in correct order so the instructor will not
have to shuffle through them trying to sort them out.

Dr. Rees was President of

1977. The series continues in
memory of him.

This year's series will get
underway Thursday night
(Feb. 19) at 8:30. This late

for Thursday evenine. The fust

The seniors won the Rees

AA" LEAGUE

Two big victories for Price
and Schultz this past week
have sent them into a two way
tie for first place in this league.
Thus, the stage has been set
for Monday, Feb. 23 at 5:30
when these two teams will
square off to determine the
champion of "AA" league.

"B" LEAGUE

Burk's team was left in sole
possession of first place when
Hernandez upset Shaw Mon-
day night. At the time this
article was written two big
games remained in "B
league, (Burks vs. Record) and
(Burks vs. Flach). If Burks' lost
to Record there could end up a
3 way tie for first. Between
Burks, Shaw, and Record.
However, should Burks win
both these games they would
be the champs of "B" league.

'A" LEAGUE

Cain's team saw their hopes
of an undefeated season
shattered when they were
upset by Clement's 53 to 51.
The victory was Clement's first
win of the season. Cain has a
big game Sunday, Feb. 22 at
8:30 when they go up against
Webster, a team that gave
Cain all they could handle in a
previous meeting. If Cain were
to lose, it would drop them into
a tie for first with Rouse.

"WOMEN"

The Womens league boasts
the only team left that can
possibly finish the season with
an undefeated season. Bishop
is currently in first place (8-0)
with one game left. A loss
would not only spoil their
undefeated season but would
put them in a tie for first with
Kiture. Bishops' final game is

There is nothing so stupid as an

that he was educated in.

You and I are walking along
a road. Suddenly I notice a
huge Mack semi careening
towards you. There's no time
except to. ..I leap towards you
and shove you out of danger
only to get smashed by the
eighteen wheeled adversary.
Your heart is utterly broken. I
had been telling you how much
I really did care, but now there
was no room for doubt. I had
given my life FOR you to save
you FROM complete destruc-

right in front of the eighteen

You stand there in total
disbelief. "What a turkey,"
you say, "what did he go and

do that for if he really cared?"
So Jesus came, not just to
die to show how much He loves
you, but to shove you out of the
dangerous path of sin. He
came to get you AWAY FROM
sin. He died INSTEAD of you.

Ornithology
Class Seeks
Florida Birds

The Ornithology class will be
taking its annual flight to
Florida to observe birds in
their natural habitat. The
group of 12 will be leaving
February 25 and returning
March 3.

With use of telescopes, tour
guides, knowledge of habitats,
and information from local
authorities, they will seek out
as many birds in the life zones
as possible. Places the class
will be stopping include Cape
Everglades,
and Flamingo, which is the
most southern area of the

The last day will be spent in
Disney World, but they will
also take in Discovery Island
while there. The island boasts
many species of birds.

Last year 160 species were
sighted. This was an all-time
record, but conditions are good
this year, and it is hoped that
even more will be sighted.

As the group aptly
tongue-in-cheek it. ..birds have

WSMC Discontinues NPR

lege

I

thern Missionary Col-
radio station WSMC-

las discontinued "All
Things Considered" and other
National Public Radio (NPR)
network programming.

According to President
Frank Knittel complaints
coming from many individuals
in the Collegedale community
prompted this action. The
general feeling was that the
NPR programming was incon-
sistant with the standards of
SMC; airing information on
rock music, questionable ways
of life, and other subjects not
condoned by the Seventh-day
Adventist church.

"The McKees or any other
people or business have not

tried to bargain with the
school on this situation , ' '
stated Knittel.

Some contributions to the
station, however, have been
withheld because of dis-
approval of the unedited NPR
material.

"We had to make some big
changes." said station
manager Don Self. "The sta-
tion airs religious and classical
music and quite a bit of news.
The station pulled back on the
NPR news to get a new
perspective."

After an indepth look into
the situation more NPR news
may be aired in the future, but
for the time being, WSMC-
FM has had to take a more
conservative stance.

Dear Editors:

It is snowing outside and
the city looks better than it did
after a week of slushy
weather. The sun shone for
two days and some prissy
willows "bloomed" (during
the writer of 1978-1979 that
didn't happen until April I
think) out at the University.

Things have moved much
faster for us-the apartment,

school, finding things in
stores. And some things which
never occurred last time-
rental of a piano, ice skating
lessons for Missi and Jenny.
People have been very help-
ful. Our scientific host is
superb.

We watched the hostages
board their aircraft, and some
of the inauguration, on Soviet
T.V. There are lengthy anal-
yses of the American econo-
mic crisis and of the unfriend-
ly attitudes of some new
government officials.

It is not allowed to send
scientific data through the
mail without elaborate paper-
work, so I shall have to trust
that the Soviet Academy can
persuade the customs officials

to let me carry our old
materials and my new work
out with me. I have already
begun another large drawing
(ionization potentials) and
have already had stimulating
talks about our Periodic
System. As far as the experi-
ment is concerned it is pretty
much ready to go after I'/i
years of modernization and I
am reading up on it.

We have had warm re-
unions with most of our
friends from before. Jenny
and Missi skate with some of
the same young people at the
little rink in the apartment
complex yard.

Jennifer suffered from a
defective mouth spray bottle;
the squirt hole and much the
liquid went down her throat. I
held her upside down and
explained to the "Rapid
Medical Help" (03 on any
telephone) what happened. A
doctor and two medical stu-
dents arrived soon and
checker her lungs at a clinic.
Inelda and a Russian-speaking
friend went with her in the
ambulance.

NPR Programming Defended:

To the Editor:

A recent occurrence that
should not pass without com-
ment was the decision to
remove "All Things Con-
sidered" from the WSMC
programming schedule. A
production of National Public
Radio (of which WSMC is an
affiliate), the show combines
hard news, commentary, and
special features on a host of
subjects. The program has
been lauded by numerous
media critics for its innovative
journalism.

Objections have been voiced
by some WSMC listeners con-
cerning the political or social
slant of the NPR program-
ming. Certainly such listeners
have a right to express their
views about the programs.
What 1 strongly question,
however, are
these people seem to hold
about the function of educa-

values. While no one doubts
that most Adventists (and
other listeners in the WSMC
area) are politically and
socially conservative, to refuse
to listen to alternative opin-
ions and to demand that such
opinions not be aired carries
personal conviction to unwar-
rated lengths. Indeed, one
could make a good case for
WSMC's carrying "All Things
Considered" solely on the
grounds that its audience
more than most needs to be
alerted to various points of
view. The point of educa-
tional radio is, after all, to
educate, not to reinforce opin-
ions already ingrained
years of selective

reading.

goal of WSMC or negatively
reflected upon Southern Mis-
sionary College? Not in the
least. Its features, which were
already subject to judicious
editing for taste by the WSMC
staff, did not offend either
church or school standards.

Again, it must be recog-
nized that as an educational
station WSMC should broad-
cast diverse viewpoints on
national issues in hope of
stimulating thought; it ought
to plav tjie gadfly. Such a
function is certainly closer to
the original spirit of Christian-
ity than is Ihe smug, culture-
bound attitude we can easily
fall into. We should encourage
this spirit rather than stifle il.

adio. The

assumption, evidently, is that
all WSMC programniing must
promote conservative econo-
mic social beliefs. This is a
mistake on two counts. First.
FCC regulations are meant to
encourage the propagation of
various opiiiions-WSMC can-
not, even if it so wished, limit
itself 10 Adventist program-
ming. Secondly, and more

March 12, 1981 /THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/3

The College According to Art Jordan

There are two things to do
at SMC that I consider as
exciting as sitting in a concen-
tration camp gas chamber.
One of tliese is eating a Sam's
Chicken sandwich at the C.K.
The other is talking to one of
the financial counselors at the
student finance office. .

I have often taken a stroll to
the finance office to ask a
"quick" question, only to find
myself coming back to the
room for my sleeping bag and
toothbrush. For some reason
I've never had quite enough
patience to wait in line for the
three and a half days required
before entering the throne
room. I've often wondered,
however, what actually takes
place behind those
doors. I wouldn't be

picious. except that I once
counted the people going in
and coming out and found that
there were fewer coming out
than there were going in.

That is why I recently
confronted a couple of parents
whto were about to enter
SMC's equivalent of the Ber-
muda Triangle. Mr. and
Mrs. Hardpressed were reluc-
tant to let me accompany them
at first, but after flashing my
press card and revealing my
identity, they literally begged
me to come with them. Soon a
secretary called their names
and. after waiting for me to
finish autographing a few
financial aid packets being
shoved in my face, showed us
through the doon and into the

land of legend and myth.

We were seated in front of a
man who looked as though
he'd just completed a seventy
year term as a Siberian drill
seryeanl. After grunting a
greeting iliai would probably
cause some a nervous break-
down, he asked the parents as
to the nature of their visit.

♦ They explained that they
had a son who would be
graduaiing from academy and
they wanted to see if they
could afford to send him to
SMC. "Of course you can
afford it!" our host shouted.
"Everyone can afford to go to
SMC!" I coughed.

Mr. Hardpressed handed
the counselor a list of the
family's assets and income.
After a moment of discomfort-
ing silence the counselor
began wtiiking things out like
a computer. "O.K.." he
began in a politician's mono-
tone. "There are several basic
costs at a college and I think 1
can foresee a way for you to
meet all expenses with no
extra hassle. First, there is
college tuition. If your son will
take twelve hours a semester
during the next year, you can
cover the cost by selling your
house and moving into a pup
tent. Of course, if he takes
more than that you may end
up sleeping under the stars."

I watched as Mr. and Mrs.
Hardpressed looked at each
other in disbelief. Mr. Hard-
pressed glanced over at me as
if to say. "He's just kidding,
isn't he?" I coughed again.

The counselor continued.
"Next we have lo consider the
cost of boarding in the dorm-
itory. How far do you have to
travel to work. Mr. Hard-
pressed?"

"Thirty miles."

"Good. Then ii should be
no trouble for you to sell your
car and slail walkuig trom
now on. As for food. If your
son will promise to eat only
two light meals a day, I think
you should be able to get by
with selling your T.V., stereo,

dryer, and any other neces-
sary luxuries you may have
lying around."

By this time Mrs. Hard-
pressed had fainted and Mr.
Hardpressed, who was ashen
white and shaking consider-
ably, was in no condition to
help her. The financial wizard
continued on as if nothing was
wrong. "Then there are books
to buy and other miscella-
neous items such as lab fees to
consider. You should be able
to handle those costs by
selling the family's wardrobe
with the exception, of course,
of what you're wearing now. I
would suggest that you start

by selling any jeans that
members of your family may

Unfortunately. Mr. Hard-
pressed had fainted too, and I
alone sat listening as the voice
continued on without a pause.

tber

and

realize that your son will be
going through a stage where
he will consider it a must to try
a date or two throughout the
course of the year. If you. Mr.
Hardpressed, will take on a
small extra job of, oh. let's say
about 40 more hours a week, I
feel that would adequately
cover the expenses of a few
Saturday nights.

"And of course," the per-
petual motion mouth
continued, "There are several
breaks during the year when
you will want Junior home. I
don't think it would be too
much to ask Mrs. Hard-
pressed to get out of the house
and work about 72 hours a
week so that you can pay for
the gas to transport your son
home.

"Now," the heartless coun-
selor finally stopped talking
long enough to take a dramatic
pause, "college isn't as ex-
pensive as other people lead
you to believe, is it?" But
there was no one to answer. I
bad fainted too.

Dickerhoff Responds to Everything

Dear Editor,

I'm responding to an accu-
sation tlial SMC is a cultural
wasteland. When 1 first read
the lelter it kind of upset me. I
didn't want to hear Alex Haley
speak because I'm not the
most informed person on
campus, and I don't know who
he is or what he does. I can see
why a biology tiiajor or even a
chemistry major would like to
hear Mr. Haley, but how do
they expect the rest of the
school to be interested in
hearing a talk on roots? Per-
sonally. "The Ghost and Mr.
Chicken" was smething I
could intelligently relate to
better.

Well, after I calmed down
about the letter. I got to
talking with some of my
friends about what had been
said. And you know-it's true.
SMC is a cultural desert. We
couldn't think of one Saturday
night activity that we remem-
bered having grown culturally
by attending in the three years
we've been here. Both of

those activities (Alex Haley
and "The Ghost and Mr.
Chicken") were a waste(land)
of time.

For the benefit of the stu-
dents we have organized a
special week to emphasize the
cultural aspect of SMC. We
are calling it "I Love Cultural
Wasteland Week."

This special week will fea-
tul-e talent competition, classic
films, and guest artists.

The film festival will begin
Monday and will be held in the
Thatcher Hall Chapel. Our
theme is "The Army and Its
Training." We will begin the
week with the classic "Setting
Up Sanitation Facilities" and
we will end the week with the
socially relevant "Your Best
Friend -The M-16 Rifle." This
film will require children to be
accompanied by an adult.

The preliminary rounds of
Ihe "Pig Calling Contest" will
start Tuesday with the finale
being held Friday during
lunch. The school has really

allocated funds for an authen-
tic pig yard to be built on the
men's dorm side of Wright
Hall. The barbed wire fence is
already up and the pigs should
be arriving any day. The
students who eat by the
windows on that side of the
cafeteria are asked to throw
their scraps out the windows
instead of throwing them
away. We want the pen to be
comfortable and homey when
Ihe pigs arrive.

Also to end the week we
plan to have Willie Nelson
here Saturday night. He will
be giving a benefit concert to
raise money for the new
"Cultural Emphasis Building
and Bar-B-0." that is to be
built.

We were planning on
having a cultural fashion
show, but we had it scheduled
for before 5 p.m. so Ihe faculty
assembly voted 64 to 63 not to

Hello. I'm the easy-rider
resident mouse of SMC's tour-
ing bus. You probably haven't
seen me around, but. I've
seen and heard a lot of what
has happened on the bus. By
the way, I appreciate the
crumbs and tortilla chips some
of you have kicked my way.

Well, this last trip was a
real scream. Before now all I
have seen are the southern
states, but on this trip the
gymnastic team crossed a
mythical border and a real
one, going to Texas and
Mexico. Usually I sleep in that
seat toward the back that is
falling apart, but the bus was
full with 38 tumblers and their
helpers so I moved out for the
nine days. I heard someone
say there would be four pro-
grams in a six-day span, but I
was afraid of getting left so I
stayed close to the bus (I think
I'll scamper over to the college
gym next month though and
catch the home show).

Well, I heard all kinds of

hard-to-beljeve things on this

Elsa Melendez

Alexander Ginzberg, a well-
known Russian poet and advo-
cate of the dissident move-
ment was exchanged on April
27, 1979 along with four other
dissidents for two convicted
Soviet spies held here in the
U.S.

He has been harassed by
the Soviet authorities espe-
cially the KGB (Soviet intel-
ligence) since 1960 for being
an activist for human rights,
for writing an unofficial poetry
book, and an underground
book in 1966 about the trials of
dissident writers Andrei Syn-
yavski and Juli Daniel. He
spent seven years in the
Gulag-Soviet prison camps.

Before being exiled, Ginz-
berg was involved actively in
different underground activi-
ties. He administered a fund
sponsored by Alexander Solz-
henitsyn to help the families of
the political prisoners. He also
helped found and monitor the
Helsinki Watch Committee.
The latter quite disturbed the
government since it matched
with the antagonist Human
Rights Campaign of former
President Carter.

Back in 1975, The Helsinki
Agreement or Helsinki Ac-
cords on European Security
and Cooperation was accepted
and signed by 35 countries
including Canada. U.S. and
the Soviet Union. The agree-
ment provided rights for the
people such as freedom of
conscience, thought, religion,
and better exercise of political
and civil rights.

Unfortunately, the Soviet
government didn't accomplish

the agreement. The Helsinki
Watch Committee was organ-
ized to pressure the govern-
ment that caused a great deal
of repression, harassment,
and imprisonment of the
members and supporters.

Ginzberg represents one of
the many lonely voices of the
dissident cause. A dissident is
defined as "a small group of
discontented and articulate

The Russian dissident
movement represents various

groups which advocate dif-
ferent causes. For example,
the technocrats tend to advo-
cate liberal reforms; the intel-
lectuals fight for greater crea-
tive freedom; the ethnic
Ukrainians fight for more
national autonomy; the
Georgian nationalists want
more attention to their cultural
heritage; the religious dis-
senters advocate freedom of

"Adventized: 1. to be
converted into an acceptable
form for Adventists 2. to be
purified. 3. made holy"
--Jordan's First Collegiate
Dictionary.

Strolling into the C.K., I
order an adventized hambur-
ger-Master Burger, they call
it. After washing my meal
down with soyamiik, ad-
ventized milk, I wander over
to the Village Market and
purchase an authentic appear-
ing bottle .of adventized wine.
Tonight I will celebrate.

And now, I would like to
propose an adventized toast to
the most recent breakthrough
in adventized movies-Kramer
vs. Kramer. Approved? Yes.
Unedited? No. What your
virgin eyes will see this Sun-
day is guaranteed to be
healthy, wholesome, and to-
tally unblemished. When
compared with couples saying
good night in front of Thatch-
er, this is gentle.

"Tell me," you ask, "Who
was considerate enough to
adventize this film so that we
can watch it in good con-
science?" Allow me to intro-
duce you to PUCFPC, short for
Pacific Union Conference Film
Preview Committee. This
morally outstanding group is
made up of representatives
from Loma Linda University,
Pacific Union Colli

various academies and
churches. They meet three or
four times each year for a film
previewing marathon to deter-
mine which films are "Safe",
which are not, and which can
be adventized.

The films previewed are
those which have been se-
lected by school administra-
tors, church pastors, and con-
ference youth leaders. How do
they know what films are
worth seeing? Don't ask so
many questions. They know.

Do you feel adventurous?
Join me as I sneak into one of

thesi

Sit

down and relax, the flick will
begin soon. Don't look so
shocked at seeing so many
high-ranking church officials
sitting around you. Who did
I you expect to be previewing
these films-radicals?

Ah, I can see you're feeling

of Pastor X to offer you some
of his popcorn. Not only that,
but I noticed that Elder Y
bought you some root beer (no
Coke permitted here).

OK, the projector is rolling
and we can settle back to take
in the drama unfolding before
us. Sure, I hope it's good, too.
At least we didn't have to pay
$3.50 to get in.

Great Galilee's Gatesl
Quick! Cover your eyes! I've
heard of passionate scenes
before, but this is the ultimate

in PDA! Hey, I think we're
causing a stir. We seem to be
the only ones worried about
maintaining the appearance of
innocence. Be quiet so that 1
can hear what that academy
teacher is saying. Did I hear'
right? He's not sure of the
exact place where the film
should be edited so he sug-
gests that the projectionist run
that scene by one more time.
Surely somebody will dis-
agree. But look! Everyone's
head is bobbing up and down
in obvious approval. Don't
look so glassy eyed, it'l

After the movie, the pre-
view committee then decides
what modifications to make
and what ratine to give it.
"Kramer vs. Kramer" was
given an adventized " R"
which means that it is for
college/adult audiences only.
No, I'm not joking.

Finally, after a film has
been previewed, edited, and
rated, it is ready for the
Adventist theater circuit of
which our own SMC Cinema
One is a part.

I have two suggestions to
make. First, why doesn't the
Southern Union begin their
preview committee so
that we don't have to take
California's word for. it. Se-

cond, I wish to heartily recom-
mend that I be nominated as
SMC's representative to this
committee. 1 feel that I could
find enough time to run down
to the conference office
several times a year and gaze
at a few flicks. Yes, it would
be a sacrifice. But I feel 1 need
to do more for my church.

Actually, we may not need
our own previewers. The
PUCFPC has, to their credit,
recommended that the Gen-
eral Conference establish a
committee to handle all the
films for all of the unions. I
think that's a good idea. After
all, the brethren in Takoma
Park don't have the chance to
view the unedited films in the
theaters like many of the
laymen do. Or do they?

Wisdom from Kings & Wiseman

They strutted in, adorned in
their finery. Tigers with sleek,
shiny coats. Zebras sporting
alternating stripes. Giraffes
with telescopic necks, craning
towards the sky. The mon-
keys, swinging from tree to
tree, dropped to the ground
and arrived with a thud.
Finally, all the animals had
arrived at the designated ren-
dezvous in the jungle,
the designated rendezvous in
the jungle.

Lines of concern marked
every face. The animals had
come together to decide a very
important matter: to formulate
a plan to honor the King of the
Beasts. For the first time since
any of the animals could
remember, the Great Lion was
returning to His jungle, and in
a rare display of unity they
had called this meeting. They
all desired to give glory to
their King.

The council spawned heated
debate. Each animal was in-
tent on pontificating his own
opinion. A tawny tiger spoke
first.

"My fine companions,"
said he, "I would be for
honoring the King in this way;
We should kill all the weaker
animals for a sacrifice , to
pacify His anger."

A small giraffe, fearing for
his own skin, was quick to
point out the fallacy in this
reasoning. "No! Nol" he
shouted. "Out King is not
coming in anger, but in love."

A zebra felt compelled to
state his plan. "There is only
one way to give glory to our
King," he said. "You must all
strip off your "skin and clothe
yourselves in the most attrac-
tive way. When the King
comes. He will appreciate all
the agony you went through to
look nice for Him." The zebra
spoke very smugly, for he was
confident that his beautiful
striped coat would be selected
as the standard for the

But a young antelope was

quick to rebut this view. "Thatl
won't work either," he said.)
"Our King does not look i
the outward appearance, He f
looks on the heart. ' ' The other I
animals concurred, for they I
did not wish to skin them-
selves and exchange their coat 1
for that of the zebra.

The council was now dead-
locked. Even though each of
the animals ardently desired
to honor his coming King,
none was willing to sacrifice
his own individuality. Could
anyone break the stalemate?

At the height of the dilem-
ma, a small lamb walked shyly
out of the jungle and into the
circle of animals. His tardi-
ness was overlooked, but his
attire caused quite a stir. The
skin of a lion draped loosely
over his small body.

The animals pounced on
him at once. "How dare
you ? ' ' roared the tiger.
"Attempt to imitate my King,
will you?" The zebra also
joined the chorus of excited
voices. "This blasphemous
masquerader is worthy of
death." No one spoke in favor
of the poor creature, and he
was quickly bound in prepara-
tion for the execution.

As the animals picked up
stones to end the life of the
young Iamb, the loud roar of a
lion thundered across the
forest. The King had arrived.
After untying the boilds
securing the frightened lamb,
He spoke with a mighty voice
which rolled through the
jungle like the sound of many
waters.

"I have comel And 1 see
that no one was interested in
honoring Me, no one except
the young lamb. You said you
wanted to give Me glory, but
in reality, all you wanted to do
is to glorify self. But the little
lamb loved Me so much, he
wanted to be like Me. Imita-
tion is the highest form of
honor!" And with that the big
Lion pawed the turf, roared
once more, and disappeared
into the forest.

-Smart Remarks:

Oh there's nothing better than being loved and
appreciated by your fans. Yes, they are the ones that
eagerly snatch for that fresh Accent, never have doubts as
to whether there will be one out this week or not, probably
send one home to the folks to show off then- school s hne
talent, and above all, NEVER .criticize or say it's bonng
without sufficient suggestions for its improvement. I d like
to thank all of you who are our avid fans for this support.
Well actually, not alLof you since all probably aren t our
fans. I realize there are those who can't read English well,
lost a contact now and then, would rather read Rosemary
Roger's or Hugh Hefner's latest publishing, but then we
all have our downfalls. But other than these, there aren t
any who, well there are those who can't, or even worse
than this, won't take a joke, refuse to recognize that
several of us weren't sent directly from the "perfect
mold" so we do make occeasional typing errors,
consistently ignore our efforts to print up-to-date statistics
On basketball games or registration counts, and yes, our
thanks to all of you who still, 8 months after school has
been in session, remain baffled as to whether we put out
the Joker, whether we take the senior pictures for the year
book, and whether, in fact, our room is the walk-in lunch
room where you leave your carry-out half-empty and
strewn all over the floor. Yes, we would like to thank youl
And let me say "Hail" to those of you who walk by our
door day after day and never come in to introduce yourself
or even introduce us to you; nay, you stroll by just slow
enough to crane your neck around the corner and stare in
our little office with your hushed voices and popping eyes
as though it were a small, exotic zoo in here which was
responsible for the wild strains of sound that emit at odd
hours from behind our closed door.

And as if that weren't enough, we budget for 24 issues
and put out 25 and what do we get in return? ' 'Why is this
paper only 4 pages this week?" "Why aren't Dave's
Trivia out all the time?" "Why weren't they here on
Thursday instead of Friday, I always change my hamsters
cage on Thursday?" and, "Why didn't the third word of
the fourth paragraph in the second column on the fifth
page of the 21st issue line up with the word directly across
from it in the other column?" Holv Carumbal! 1 can't
believe the gratitude and the appreciation gn^ the
acknowledgment of all the hard work and long hours that
you people bestow on us all the time. The fan mail and the
flow of thanks never stops. Whether it matters that 1 am
standing with a .03 GPA, haven't slept sjnce 1 can
remember and my social life and student interaction are
practically zero is neither here nor there, it's just all part
of the life you lead after you give up the semi-normal one
to put out a weekly student paper for the people you love
so, I'd like to say thank you to all of you that have made
this experience possible. ..Thank you, thank you, thank
you, thank you,

The cafeteria of Southern

awarded the coveted "Golden

creative cooking.

Picked as the outstanding

major influence in cuisine for
the coming year.

One of the creations that
helped the school to clinch this
honor was "nutty broccoli", a
superb combination of diced
broccoli, a delicate white
sauce, chopped rare black
pecans, and the crowning
touch of herb croutons (it is
attention to detail that contri-
buted to the excellence of the
cafeteria). Another such deli-
cacy was "cheese-nut

The College According Rat JordoiU

When WSMC abruptly
changed their programming
recently, some students were
angered and some were re-
lieved. Most, however, didn't
give a rip.

They will now. WSMC is
turning rock. Knowing that
the reasons originally given
for the change sounded flimsy
and unbelievable, I was
prompted to do some investi-
gative reporting. This led to
the discovery of some amazing
facts.

"We were going to keep it a
secret until the switch was
completely made." Station
Manager Don Self told me.
"We feit that our listeners
deserved a pleasant surprise.
Self went on to explain that
several members of the com-
munity had threatened to
withhold funds if the station
didn't make a radical change.
"We felt that the time was
right anyway" he mentioned.

Search for Killer Cobra
Continues with Venom

The search is still on for the
notorious Collegedale killer
cobra. According to the ever
dihgent Collegedale police
force. "All stops have been
pulled. We will find the vile
beast if we have to beat every
inch of brush from here to
Cleveland. And that's just
what we're going to do, too!"

A massive investigation is
scheduled to take place in the
near future for the man-de-
vouring reptile. The police
chief has announced that
every able-bodied law enfor-
cer will at exactly sunup line
up and proceed to stride back
and forth over each acre of
Collegedale ground flailing
'heir billy clubs at trees,
Pushes, and flowers to coax
out the venomous cold-blood-
ed animal.

"We at the police depart-
ment will do our best to see

that each citizen can walk the
streets of Collegedale safely"
stated the chief.

Commissioner Greg Vital
will also help lead out in this
daring mission. "There are
no ifs, ands. or buts about it.
we WILL catch the snake!

If this air-tight plan fails, a-
nother reptile will be released
that is of the opposite gender,
enabling the police to track the
escaped cobra down since all
snakes are immediately at-
tracted to one another, and
hunt both of the killers down.
Should this not work, a snake
expert is now on 24-hour call
and will be rushed to College-
dale by Concord within min-
utes of notification, or the
cobra will run free forever,
always stalking, never giving
man, woman, or child one
moment of peace or safety.

Perry enthusiastically de-
scribed to me some of the new
ideas that are going to be
initiated. "We're going to fill
every hour with something
that jumps, swings, rocks and
boogies," Perry exclaimed.
"We've purchased a large
selection of todav's sound.
Pop. rock, disco-you name it.
we've got it. If it doesn't have
the 'in' beat, we're chucking
it."

How does the rest of the
) staff feel about the change?

"1 can't wait to get into this
stuff," Deejay Sam McBride
excitedly told me. "This
classical garbage was begin-
ning to cramp my style. Now I
can let my hair down and be
myself!"

Self and his staff wouldn't
let me in on all of the secrets,
although one worker, who
asked to remain anonymous,
did tell me that previously
fired news director, Stephen
Ruf, has been hired back and
given his own show to be

Festivities are being plan-
ned for the actual day of the

"Frank" tells all:

A Candid Interview with a Prominent Person

I am supposed to write an
interview of a prominent
executive here at school, so
here I go. Let me first make
clear that I'l
this top e
I can use an alias. Let's see-
why don't we call him. ..my
name. Let's call him Frank.

Now Frank has studied a
great deal and has received a
doctor degree in an American
language similar to one
spoken in England. Now I
can't say what he does for a
living, but, oh boy-being
president of a big school is no
easy job.

Just think how many
lectures, dinners, and
banquets you would have to
speak at if you were president
of acoUege-of course, I'm not
saying that this person I'm
interviewing is the president
of any college.

Anyway- back to what I was
saying before. I made an
appointment with his
secretary to talk with Frank.
She said 1 could talk with him.

I did.

Because the occasion was
formal, I put on socks with my
docksiders (this is usually not
done). With a pencil and pad
in hand I placed a tape
recorder on his desk. His
office was real big and pretty
with lots of big books and
things.

I looked around and I was
wowed. "Boy," I thought,
"this is real neat." You can't
imagine all the big plaques he
had on his wall. He said
"Hello."

Shocked at his candidness, I
took a picture of his sofa. It's
pretty. You can come up to
my room and see the
picture. Anyway, back to
what I was saying before. I
didn't bother to waste any
time. I got to the issues at
hand.

"Frank," I asked in a stern
voice, "is it really true that
you have posed for pictures?"

He became fidgety and

As sweat ran down
his brow in buckets. He
answered, "Howdoyou
know?"

"Because," I pointed as 1
stood in a Victorian pose, "I
can see the family portrait on
your desk and there you are,
my good man, in it." I then
gleamed in satisfaction.

His face went back to
normal. And then he leaned
back in his chair. The color
came back to his face. I was
confused as he began
laughing wildly. His eyes

wide with tears of joy in them
sparkled. I wonder what he
thought I meant. I can't

Well, the interview lasted
for a little bit. We didn't say
much. We just looked at each
other and read Beowulf.
Actually, he read it to me.
He's real good at that.
Anyway, we talked and stuff
like that. Overall, 1 guess the
interview turned out good. He
let me keep the copy of
Beowulf.

Business Dept. Revamps
Entire Lecture Program

To encourage business ma-
jors to enroll in the lecture
series next year, the business
department is revamping its
entire program.

"We are very excited about
next year's schedule," Wayne
VandeVere, chairman of the
business department began,
"the seminars will revolve
around those involved with the
Watergate scandal, the Ben-
dix Corporation outrage, and
the Abscam shenanigans. We
are hoping to get a few
congressional secretaries to
come in and discuss the
workings of a congressman's
office."

As of now the series has
been able to acquire the
plumber and Rose Mary
Woods from Watergate; the
cleaning woman and Mrs.
Agee. wife of William Agee.
vice-president of Bendiz and
representing the Abscam are
several judges that convicted
congressmen involved. How-
ever, at this writing no secre-
taries have consented to
appear, but says Mr. Rozell,
business management instruc-
tor, "We haven't given up all
hope. I'm looking forward to
meeting Elizabeth Raye in the
flesh."

To accommodate the visi-

tors, the business department
asks that no cameras, tape
recorders or glass bottles of
any kind be brought into the
lecture hall. Students are
asked to refrain from request-
ing autographs from the semi-
ceTebrities.

"Today's business students
need to be aware of every
aspect of business in Amer-
ica," VandeVere concluded,
"next year's seminars should
show executive hopefuls how
to use those types of business
to their advantage."

Hi fans, it's me once again from beautiful Southern
Missionary College. Last year, I brought you the Handy
Dandy Guide to Inexpensive Dating. {See Twang April 1,
1980).

This year, by popular request, I'll take my money saving
devices one step further, and apply them to-The Handy
Dandy Guide to Inexpensive Weddings.

First of all, one must pass through my prep course on
dating as a prerequisite for this one. (See Twang April 1,
1980). This has been accomplished, there are several
factors that you must consider.

1^1 Should I get married?

Many people have asked this question in the past, so
don't think you are all alone. There are a few simple
answers to this question. First you must find someone who
will consent to marry you, and then decide whether
marriage is right for you. Therefore you must ask yourself
a very important question, "Should 1 get married?"

Now, once this has been decided, the wedding must be
planned! Here's where my expert advice should be of
assistance. Please fill out this questionnaire to determine
the type of wedding you would like to have.

1. I have
DNo money
nSome money

D A lot of money
to spend.

2. I want to spend it on

D Regular flowers

As you look back over the results of this questionnaire,
reflect on your answers. If your answers indicate that you
prefer things of more exquisite taste, so that your wedding
looks normal, I'm sorry, but you are beyond help. If
however, you find that you are constantly picking the
cheapest way out, you have learned how to s
bare necessities. And, should your incc
you should remember where you learned such survival
techniques, and send in your "Attitude of gratitude"
check to me right away, so that I will have enough money
to have a normal wedding.* Hope to hear from you soon.

The old adage "There's no rest for the weary" has a
certain ring of truth to it. If a term paper isn't due then a
quiz or exam must be studied for, if your room doesn't
need vacuuming, then you have 81 pages of outside
reading to plow through. Keeping up with everything
seems impossible. Then there is the time you don't have
for yourself. Who in college has time to spare for pesonal
pleasures like reading, shopping, tanning, and sleeping?

Because of this lack of time "off', one or several skip
days should be included in the college schedule. Skip days
are simply that--days on which students can legally skip
classes and do things that they have been wanting to do.
but couldn't because of the lack of time. (Ingathering day
would not be considered as a skip day). The activities can
pertain to on-campus or off-campus functions. Students
can go shopping in Atlanta or they can catch up on their
homework assignments.

In colleges where skip day is a part of the routine,
groups are transported to the county fair, a park for a
picnic, or a shopping mall.

Skip days allow students time to relax and have fun. as
well as giving them a chance to climb out of their rut.

Think about the possibilities and then talk to next year's
SA officers about it. Everyone needs a skip day once in

Dear Accent:

I would like to express my
appreciation for the recent
film, "Kramer vs. Kramer."
shown on Sunday, March 29. 1
thoroughly enjoyed the movie,
and in case anyone labels me a
chauvinist from my ensuing
remarks, I did cry at the end.

I feel the film dealt with
several truths which would
prove useful for any Christian
college student. 1. Absolutely
no relationship is immune to a
lack of communication. Prob-
lems must be mutually con-
sidered, and the family must
come first. 2. Along with the
myth that women are inferior
to men and that women should
be confined to the home must
also go the myth that men are
cold, harsh, rough, and un-
emotional as opposed to
warm, demonstrative and
gentle. Women can be just as
successful behind a desk as
men. but men can shuttle fi:om
behind the desk to the front of
the stove just as easily as
women. Fatherliness is

motherliness, yet the combi-
nation of the two--while
neither qualitatively or quan-
titatively different one from
the other-remains magically
superior to either one alone.
3. Divorce is not an isolated,
non-Adventist phenomenon; it
could happen to anyone. And
the best way to decide what's
best for the child is for the
parents to work their marriage
problems out and provide a
home where the child would
never have to leave to visit the
other parent. 4. Stress,
anxiety, and tension all re-
main non-discriminatorv.

These natural results of all-
too-common life situations for
many people are sufficient to
encourage alcohol use or some
other coping release. Alcohol
was not glorified by its rare
use in this film. We need to
recognize people that are just
as good as we are-but may
not have been mercifully
spared some problems as we
have-needing our help and

A few weeks ago I received
an invitation to a party that
was fn he nn a Wednesday. I
received the invitation on a
Thursday afternoon, the day
after 'he partv. A friend of
mine living in the older pan
of the dorm received her
invitation on Tuesday morn-
ing. The invitations were post-
marked the same day, so
clearly the fault does not lie
with the sender.

I ask you, how much more
effort does it take to get the
annex mail out on time? What
does it take to have a beter
and more efficient system?
Thank you,
Nancy Beth Wooley

give them an outlet for their
anxiety.

would like to express my
thanks to the administration.

Soccer

The soccer season *his year
would best be labled ihe year
of the shoot out" since a
majority of the games have
ended in a tie and have had to
be determined by a shoot out.
"The week of the injuries"
might be an appropriate cap-
tion for the play two weeks
ago. Brian Moores team, who
was 2 and 0 and in first place
was probably hit the hardest.
Greg Caracciolo, Moores's
number one player, re-injured
a knee and will most likely
miss the remainder of the
season. As if that wasn't
enough, Moore also saw
Byron Rouse suffer a leg
injury which left his playing
status questionable. Steve

. tied

for first with Moore at 2 and 0,
also had their scare when
goalie Tedd Webster injured

. Webster courageously played
' the remainder of the game and

led his team to victory in a
shoot out. Kevin Cummings'
team, who lost their first two
games, also had a player get
injured. Goalie Don Sweeney,
suftered a badly bruised shin,
leaving him questionable for
play, something Cummings'
team couldn't afford. Because
of these injuries the league
could be headed for a change
in the standings. Several
games have been played since
the injuries. Steve Martins
team gained sole possession of
first place as they defeated
Moore 3 to 2. The extent of
Tedd Websters injuries were
not enough to keep him out of
play as he did a fine job in the
net for Martin's team. It was
captain Steve Martin leading
the way on the scoring end as
he scored 2 of the teams 3
coals. Kevin Cummings team
got on track as they picked up
their first victory over Pasillis.
The team records now stand

as follows: Martin in first 3 &
0, followed by Moore 2 & I,
Cummings 1 & 2 and Pasillis 0
&3.

The first two rounds and
some of the third round have
been completed in the tennis
tournement. So far the team
of Mark Ezell and Guy Castro
along with the team of Tim
Arelannoand Stave Fitzgerald
have reached the semi-finals.
In Ihe other quarter-final
matches, the team of Evens
and Qualley will face Frank
and Aguilar in one match and
King and Slate vs. Fraction
and Mauch will be the other.

Racquetball

The racquetball tournement
had gone well and is now
down to the finals. In the
consolation round of the tour-
nement Bruce Weiss defeated
Tom Neusome in the finals to
finish in on top. The cham-
pionship will be determined
when defending champion for
the past two years, Rowland
Knight squares off against the be involved
much improved Ron Shaffer.
Shaffer won a tough semi-final
match over Myron Donesky,
winning the first game, lo-
osing the second and then
capturing the victory winning
the third game 21 to 17.

In floor Hockey the regular
season has been completed so
now it is into the playoffs. Bob
Hamley's team took sole pos-
sesion of first place last week
when they defeated Tomer 6
to 5 and built their record to
4-0. Leonard, who had been
lied for first, fell victim to the
upset as Lewis defeated them
by a single goal. That was last
week and since then Hamley
and Leonard have squared off
against one another. In a hard
fought battle it was Leonard
finally prevailing 6 to 5. This
victory gave these t\vo teams
identical 4 and 1 records for
the regular season. Rod

of the season and in their final

inirOSpCCT Wisdom from Kings & Wiseman

Some of the best news in
life is that intellectual religion
is NOT where it's at. This is
true for at least two reasons:

First, intellectual religion
proves to be incapable of
answering the 'how' questions
all are asking. HOW do I live
the daily life of death, trage-
dy, decisions, and overcoming
sin? Mere theory and a
legally obtained salavation ut-
terly fails one when it comes
to the 'how." "Pure and
undefiled religion" (James
1:27) is an experienced one. It
is directed at answering how
one lives life here on earth in
the sight and fellowship of a
holy God.

A most aprt illustration of
intellectual religion (also
known as salvation by justifi-
cation alone, apostate Protes-
tantism, and, what you are
taught from many of the
•■great lights") is found out in
the desert of California. As
you approach it, your senses
are captivated - it looks so
good, so real! You walk

through the streets admiring
the appearance of one of
Hollywood's old western
towns. Finally, you choose a
particularly interesting old

Such is the truth about

The second reason intellect-

called all to an experience of

childlike trust and obedience.
This means living by every

This is. simple acceptance of
Scripture (His Word) as a

Violence! When will it end?
Why does it keep increasing?
What are we doing to help
control this outbreak of human
injustice?

During this past year of
1980. the murder rate has
increased up to 40 percent
across the country. New York
alone in the past year has had
a murder count of 1.814
victims. Los Angeles witnes-
sed an increase averaging
nearly up to 13 percent in
every violent category. Miami
has battled over the ever-in-
creasing drug traffic and ra-
cial battles. The murder rate
has shot up by 60 percent and
robberies by 80 percent.

Statistics maintain that
every 24 minutes a murder is
committed somewhere in the
US. Every 10 seconds a house
is burgled, and every seven

Too often many complacent
Americans support the atti-
tude that crime can never
happen to them. Keisha
Jackson probably thought so,
too. Until one evening, after
rollerskating with her friends
and on her way back home,
she was shot in the head by a
sixteen-year-old boy with a .32
caliber gun. No motive has
been established.

Steven Watts, a lineman for
his high school team, was
walking home one Friday
after a dance. A street gang
mistook him for a member of a
rival gang and shot him from a
car. Watts has hit in the back
and died before he reached
the hospital.

How is it that a country,
where crazed lunatics make
vicious attempts on human

System to fail so often. TIME
magazine has expressed it

clearly in their March 23 issue
on crime: "It is not that there
are no mechanisms in place to
deal with American Crime,
merely that the existing ones
are impractical, inefficient,
uncooperative, and often lead
to as muc civic destruction as
they are meant to curtail."
Our country's stand against
crime should be strong and
forceful. Vague technical

terpretation of human rights
must end. Stern retribution
must be the consequence any
law-breaker should face.

must be made to be aware of
their punishment before blind

actions.

not be as high as the nation's,

Students speak out about dorm incident

This letter has been written
by concerned individuals in
to the incident that
occurred in the Talge recrea-
n the evening of
March 31. This incident as we
are sure you already know,
involved Bruce Earp and
Michael James, students of
our "fair" school.

According to the latest gos-

to

J

sip, (which,
Webster's Seventh New Col-
legiate Dictionary means "a
person who habitually reveals
personal or sensational facts,
and/or chatty talk) Bruce Earp
only committed a small mis-
demeanor (figuratively speak-
ing, of course) while Michael
James is a hardened criminal.
But what makes these rumors
rather irritating is the fact that
they are coming from those of
you who do not know the
FACTHOr should we say the
truth? Either way. it reveals
that except for a chosen few.
no one knows what they're
talking about. All it boils down
to is people getting aroused
over cheap hearsay. Is this the
way facts are issued? Two
people are in the same place at
the same time, supposedly
witnessing the same incident

and both persons wind up with
a completely different story
from the other. How can this
be? What is one to think?
Well, we can only draw on
sound conclusion: one of them
is lying. And if we may ask,
what is the purpose behind it?
We say it is ignorance verging
on immaturity, grown men
and women who have nothing
better to do than stab someone
in the back! Are we coming
on too harshly? Well. good.
Let us continue by saying that
if this is your portrayal of
Christianity, it is a poor one.

Let us also clear the air by
saying that we are not con-
doning the action Michael
took. What he did was wrong
and by no means godly. But
who are vou to place blame?

We have heard many
around campus say, "He de-
serves whatever he gets."

"He wasn't any good any-

"He always tried to be Mr.
Tough Guy."

"That's good for him."
We could go on and on.
These statements were made
by those who disliked him as
well as those that claimed to
be his friends.

So, are we to understand
that Mr. James, according i£
the behavior expressed or
campus by his supposed
Christian brothers and sislefi.
loses all the way around?

It seems to us that one oi

As this school year winds
down I would like to express
my appreciation to everyone
who has used the recreation
facilities as well as partici-
pated in the intramural

Intramurals have been suc-
cessful because of the time
you have chosen to invest in
each particular activity.
Sportsmanship has been
excellent which is a tribute to
each of you!

At the Rees Series my wife.
Carmen, and 1 were pleasantly
surprised when Doug Price
beckoned us to the micro-
phone and presented us with
over S120 of your hard earned
money. The support and
friendship that we felt at that
particular moment was and
still is very rewarding.

Time and space do not allow
me to give special recognition
to the many people who have
put in long and hard working
hours helping me plan and
organize the recreational act-
ivities. It would suffice to say
that you are all appreciated

table."

"These are hysterical! \/Vho is that?"

"Beats me, but I thought it might be
kinda funny to put it in. Why don't you
write something up about it, say in 15
minutes?"

"Sure, Keith. It's not like I have
anything better to do."

The Student Association's final event is
now in its last stages. The last slides are
being developed, and all the technical
equipment has been ordered and assenv
bled. The Strawberry Festival (SF) is
I about to begin.

"Doug, are you using last year's tape
format on the 4-track recorder or are you
going to put sync pulses on 3?" Keith
asked.

Doug Walter, the audio engineer,
turned from the board and answered,
"No, I think we'll use 3 as a buffer and
put the sync pulses on 4 instead. I think
I'll mix the narrator in on 1 and 2 to create
a stereo effect. Keith, do you have a
sequence list so I can record the sound
track as the sections go?"

"I have a basic list that you can look
over, but when it comes down to time
we'll just fade the visual and audio black
simultaneously."

This year, the SF will include over
6,000 slides that envelop every event from
registration to springtime events. Keith
Langenberg, the originator and producer
of the program, started planning this
year's festival as soon as last year's was
finished.

"What do you think he said?"

"Hmmm."
[Dana and Doug are friends].

The SF is a multi-media production,
that is, it consists of a programmer which
controls 15 slide projectors, 3 screens,
and a sound system. This is the third
annual multi-image SF production. In
1979, the program consisted of 2 projec-
tors. Last year the projector numtjer
Increased to 6. This year the numlDer of
projectors has expanded to 15 due to the
development of special effects.

"Zooming, neon glow effect, marquee
lighting, and animation are a few of the
new techniques we plan to incorporate
into the new program" Keith explained.
Time: 4:30 a.m.

Setting: Six people: one sleeping [snoring
softly]; two double-checking slide
sequences in slow motion; one doing
homework futilly; one finishing the last of
the Doritos and DP; one replacing burnt
projector bultis.

"If I have to see this show one more
time you won't need all this equipment,
I'll just mime it."

Suddenly the little angel sleeping in the
comer jumps up raving, "The timing's
off, the timing's off, stop projector. Fix
that slide. Focus, focus. Hey, that slide is
upside down. Get another bulb for
projector 4!"

"Quick! Someone slap Keith before he
gets too hysterical."

Slap.

"What happened?"

"Nothing, dear. It was just a bad
dream. It's all over now, the project is
finished. You can so back to sleep.
Shhhh."

"Okay, [sigh] If only Kodak could see
me now."

"Yes, Keith. Anything you say."

"Hey, can I have my strawberries and
ice cream now?"

The SF will be Saturday, April 25 at 8
p.m. in the P.E. Center. There is a
possibility of two showings if enough
students and faculty wish to see it over.
The second showing will start after the
strawberries and ice cream are served.

The same production will be shown on
Saturday night of graduation weel<end.
Check graduation bulletins for time.

On the SF evening, all ID card holders
are allowed in free. For those who don't
have a card, a small admission fee is
charged. On graduation weekend, the
program will te open to the public free of

charge.

RACQUETBALl

The annual SMC racquetball
tournement was concluded
last week. On Friday Rowland
Knight made his now familiar
appearance in the finals as he
went up against Ron Shaffer.
Knight had won the tour-
nement the past two years and
was on to make it his third
straight championship but
Shaffer had other ideas. In
the first game it looked as
though Knight was still the
dominate player as he won
easily 21 to 8. Being the
competitor that he is Shaffer
didn't waste any time in
letting knight know that it
wouldn't be that easy. He
turned the momentum around
and won the second game 21
to 7 giving each player 1 win
with one game to go. The two
players decided to make elev-

en the winning score in the
rubber game of the match.
With both players eyeing the
championship they soon found
themselves in a 8 to 8 tie.
From there Rowland Knight
managed to take charge and
went on to in the game 11 to 9,
giving him the match and his
third straight SMC racquetball
championship.

TENNIS

The doubles tennis tour-
nement has advanced towards
the final match. In one
semi-final match the team of
Dean Evans and Dean Qualley
advanced to the finals when
they defeated Tim Arelanno
and Steve Fitzgerald 6-4,6-4.
Still to be played is the other
semi-final match which has

GOLF

This past Sunday SMC had
its annual spring gold tour
nement. Despite some ad-
verse wet conditions eight four
man teams still made it out to
play in the select shot tour-
nement held at Valley Brook
Country Club. The student
team had won the tournement
in the fall with a 10 under par
total at Nob North Golf Course
and they were back to defend
their championship. The eight
teams in the tournement con-
sisted of several area church
teams, (McDonald. Chattano-
oga. Ooltewah) a Deans team,
a college faculty team, an
academy faculty team, an
alumni team and the student
team. The conference had a
team in the fall but had to
cancell out this time. At the
end of the day it was the
student team making it two
championships in a row with a
winning seven under par total.

Ooltewah finished second at
six under with several teams
tieing for third at four under
par. Each member of the
winning team was awarded a
shirt and a sleeve of 3 golf
balls. Other prizes were
handed out for closest to the
pin and the longests drive on
designated holes. There were
5 closest to the pins and two
longest drives. Members of
the winning student team
were Matt Nafie. Bucky
Knecth, Dick Bird and Kelly
Pettijohn. Thanks to Dean
Qualley for a well run tour-
nement.

IntrOSpeCtWisdom from Kings & W

April 9. 1981/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/7

iseman

Misconception of the human
mind have occurred quite
frequently down through his-
tory. For example, a few
centuries ago it was commonly
believed that the world was
flat. Unwilling to look at
evidence to the contrary, the
people had a great fear that if
someone should travel too
near the edge of the earth, he
would be in danger of falling
off. However, later discover-
ies proved these views of the
world to be false.

As Seventh-day Adventists.
we have sometimes fallen into
the same trap. We have been
guilty of fostering misconcep-
tions in certain areas of theo-
logy. By studying the Bible
and the Spirit of Prophecy in a
random, haphazard method,
we have jumped to some
wrong conclusions. I would
like to discuss a few of these
myths relating to last day

selves "do nothing". This
myth also contradicts the clear
teaching of scripture which
states, "And I will ask the
Father, and He will give you
another Helper, that He may
be with you forever." (John
14:16, NASB). Even after
probation has closed, the
Spirit will still be with us.
This is a comforting thought.

While we do believe that
everyone who is translated
will have been brought to a
decision of whether to follow
God's law by worshiping on
the Sabbath or man's law by
keeping the first day holy, it
does not follow that they will
all be baptized members of the
Seventh-day Adventist de-

now is the acceptable time!
Behold, now is the day of

?iber of

the right church is all thai
required to be saved.

A mere mental assent to the
truth will never bring salva-

Jesus Christ will .accomplish
this. "I aln the vine, you are
the branchesD he who abides
in Me, and I in him, he bears
much fruit." (John 15:5,
NASB).

My prayer is this; as we
draw nearer to the appearing
of our Lord, may we increase
our understanding of last day
events by careful study of the
Bible and the Spirit of Pro-
phecy.

For the fall

1981, the History Departi
will introduce a new upper

course called Origins of Mod-
ern Political Thought, 1500-
1850 (PLSC 465). Taught by
Brian E. Strayer. this three-
credit hour course will survey
several primary political trea-
tises written by such philo-
sophers as Machiavelli,
Hobbes, Locke, Burke, Paine,
Rousseau, Jefferspn, J.S. Mill
and Karl Marx. Designed to
acquaint the junior and senior
student with the political the-
orists of modern democracy,
dictatorship, socialism and
communism, this class will
emphasize a close analytical
reading and discussion of at
least twelve major political
works from Machiavelli's The

Prince (1532) to Karl Marx's
Communist Manifesto (1848).

Unlike most history courses
at SMC. this new one will not
include quizzes, tests or term
papers. Rather, the student
will be asked to write weekly
"reaction reports" of two
pages discussing and inter-
preting the major documents
being studied. Class discus-
sion will also comprise a major
portion of the grade. It is
recommended that prospec-
tive students for this course
have taken at least one semes-
ter of Survey of Civilization,
preferably the second half.
Since this course will follow
the format of a readings
seminar, the student should
expect to do considerable
reading each week.

The College

According to Art Jordan!

April 16, 1981/THE SOUTHERN ACCENT/3

I am awakened by the
buzzing of my electric alarm
clock. It's 4 a.m. Roiling out
of bed (I forget that I'm on the
top bunk), I crawl to the
shower and turn it on full hot;
it comes out full cold.

By 8 a.m. my roommate has
found my frozen body and has
begun to revive me with an
ice pick and his hair dryer.
When 8:30 arrives I'm ready
to go--just in time to skip
breakfast and be 40 minutes
late to my first class.

Four tests, three quizzes,
and one fire drill later, I
collapse in front of my type-
writer and prepare to write
my last column.

But alas! There's nothing
to write about! The weather's
been nice, there are no edited
movies scheduled, and the
student finance office actually
released me after kindly dis-
cussing my finances with me.
Even the fences by the cafe-
teria are now gone. It's true
that the CK still serves Sam's
Chicken Sandwiches along
with other 95 percent grease
items. And yes. you still
aren't supposed to wear jeans
around campus until after 5
p.m. But at least you can wear
a comfortable pair of jeans
while choking down food at
the CK. One out of two is not
bad.

From E. 0. Grundset to
Mrs. Moore, from standing in
mile long lines to eating mile
high salads, from talking to a
cobra to examining Project
Matrimony-it's all been fun
to write about.

Then, of course, there's
next year. There will be new
causes to crusade for-or

against. Who knows? Maybe
we will see the triumphal
return of the saxophone
quartet. Maybe new fences
will be erected with barbed
wire on them. Maybe next
year double knits wilt be
outlawed. Whatever the case,
I'll be back and the writing
will begin again.

Someone recently asked
me, "Art, if SMC has so
many things for you to write
safire about, why do you even
bother to go to school here?"
That's a good question. I
guess it's in my blood.

Ed. Note: We regret to report
that Art Jordan will

be
returning next year as had
previously been planned.
Shortly after writing this
column he met a tragic death
while eating at the CK. Some
reports indicate that he may
have overdosed on Sam's
Chicken Sandwiches.

Funeral services will be
conducted at noon on Mon-
day. April 20. by the pre-
viously fenced in area on the
Talge side of the cafeteria. E.
0. Grundset will officiate.

All students are invited to
attend. It is asked, out of
respect for Art. that you wear
blue jeans to the service.
Refreshments will be served
and an edited movie will be

writing career were to come to
a sudden end. I would not
want to fade away without
thanking those people who

Gymnastics Tour Ends at

Home

After a very successful win-
ter and spring tour, which
included several preformances
in Mexico, Alabama. Florida
and North Carolina, the 1980-
81 SMC Gymnastic Team
closed out the season with its
annual home show.

It is the opinion of many
that the SMC Gymnastic Team
is currently the best in the
denomination and the talent
witnessed by students, par-
ents, and community this past
Saturday night gave support
to this opinion.

Every team member had
his part in the outstanding
program, so to all, congratula-
tions for your terrific perfor-
mance. We would like to
mention the names of those

who

the ho

show as their last chance to
perform as a member of the
SMC Gymnastics Team and to
let them know their presence
will be missed. They are:
Marcia Stiles, who did a
doubles and triples routine,
and performed on the un-
evens; Dennis Thompson, who
took part in five power events
and was outstanding with the
blocks and the roman chair,
just to mention two; Rick
Giebell. who did a routine on

the side horse and was a major
statute in the team pyramids;
and Krystal Norris, who per-
formed in a triples routine and
on the unicycle. A special
congratulations is in order for
Marcia and Dennis for being
selected to Who's Who among
college students in America.
In closing, behind every
good team is a good coach and
to show their appreciation,
Loren Middag, on behalf of all
the team members, presented
a warm-up suit to their fine
coach, "Wonderful Garv."

FLOOR HOCKEY

The floor hockey season has
concluded and down the
stretch it turned into a two
team race for the champion-
ship. The team of Bob
Hamley, and the team of Bob
Leonard were battling for first
plate all season long, so it
couldn't have been more ap-
propriate than to have these
two teams face each other in
the final game of the season,
and that is precisely what
happened.

At the start of the game,
Leonard's team seemed to be
the favorite due to the absense
of Hamley, who had led his

team all season long How
ever, when the first period
came to a close Hamley' s
team was leadmg 1 to 0
Hamley showed up early in
the second period and his
team soon had a 2 to 0 lead
Leonard's team was able to
overcome the slow start and
bounced back with a couple of
second period goals

At the end of regulation
time, the score was 3 to 3 and
the players unanimously
agreed to leave the game a tie
So, in floor hockey, you have
Hamley and Leonard as co
champions with 5 wins, 1 loss
and 1 tie. Behind them are
Shields and Lewis with 3 and 4
records.

SOCCER

There is one big soccer
game left which will deter-
mine the champion of the
league. On Thursday, at 5:30
p.m. Brian Moore's team,
currently 5 and 1. will face
Steve Martin's team, who
have a 4 and 2 record. The
two teams battled to ^ 4 to 3
score in a game Tuesday
night, which saw Moore come
out on top. In that came,
Moore's team was led by the
excellent pass work of Mike
Dowell and Willy Hernandez.
Kevin Cummings' team is
currently in third place and
Tony Fasillas is in fourth.
Don't forget to come out and
watch the championship this
Thursday.

SWIM MEET

The SMC Spring Swim
Meet was held this past
Sunday and it was Kevin
Cummings' team winning by a
score of 61 to 54 over Dale
Breece's team. Although
Breece's team took eight first
places. Cummings' team was
able to combine six first places

seconds and
thirds to pick up more total

Tamara Dortch was the only
double winner in the meet as
she took first in the women^s
50 yard free style and the
■women's 50 yard back stroke.

Two new school records

; set.

1 the I

yard free style and one in the
women's 50 yard breast
stroke. It was Stu Ware with a
time of 25.2 setting the new
record in the men's 50, smash-
ing the old mark by a full
second. Sandra Borne swam a
40.7 second women's 50 yard
back stroke to break the old
mark and established a new
school record.

In the diving, Loren Middag
took first in the men's compe-

tition, while Nancy Richards
captured first in the women's.
Winners of other events
included: Chris Scholz, Dale
Breece, Lynn Wissman, Glen
Gretnlee, Flip Bottomley, and
Tedd Webster.

TENNIS

In tennis, the finals are set
for both the championship and
the consolation rounds of the
Doubles Tournament. In the
shampionship match, it will be
Dean Evans and Dean Qualley
going against Ken Slate and
Greg King.

The consolation round
match will be between the
team of Buck Schultz and Jeff
Garibaldi and the team of Ned
Velasco and Bob Leonard.

Introspect Wisdom from Kings & Wisemans

It's truly amazing that God
desires to rule in every con-
ceivable part of your life.
Indeed nothing is too insigni-
ficant for Him. Following, is a
potpourri of various ways m
which the Lord would enter
vour life and help you this
summer.

God knows how busy your
have been and He would
certainly like to help you find
more quiet time alone with

Him each day. In fact. He
would like it better if you
would consciously include
Him in all your thoughts and
actions during your entire day.

God also is anxious that you
sit down with Him and ser-
iously discuss that marriage
you have planned. He would
like to be the centerpiece of
your love.

The Lord would really enjoy
giving you a new opinion of

what is actually important in
this life. In more direct words,
He would be thrilled if you
would allow Him to give you a
realization that movie theaters
and disco skating rinks, ect..
are not His territory. He does
not consider the things that go
on there to be pure, holy, and
of heaven.

Jesus understands how
worried people get about

finding jobs, for He once had
to work here too. So He would
be most happy for you to trust
Him completely to find you a
place of work for the s

The melancholy days have come, the

Saddest of the year,
Of wailing winds, and naked winds,

and meadows brown and sear.

Another possibility that God
might have for you is a new
look at dating. He knows that
the typical way of American
dating is frustrating, because
usually Christ is not the main
partner in the relationship.
Consider that t

He

you

His plan for dating.

Consider also that the Lord is
in need of someone through
whom He can touch your
family with His love. You
might be surprised at how

little they really know and love
God.

Finally, please remember as
you enter this summer, that
everything around you is vir-
tually shouting the fact that
Jesus is about to return to this
earth in judgment for the
rebellious, and rescue for the
surrendered ones who live
with Him in daily fellowship
and obedience. Then pause a
moment longer to recall that,
if you are not living each
moment of every day in Jesus'
presence while here on earth,
there is no way you would be
comfortable living in His pre-
sence for eternity in heaven.
Ultimately, that is what Jesus
wants to do with you' this
share His presence.

Lectures Wind Down

con't from page 3

The tribulations only help to

refine us. they say.

To Dr. Rice 1 must ask.
What happened to the A I had
in Teaching of Reading at
midterm? The B came as a
shock!. ..Dr. Robertson, I sur-
vived Listening to Music! 1
really did! Not a small accom-
plishment for this "non-music
person." (NOTICE: If you are
going to take this course do
not buv the tapes. They are
useless unless you KNOW
where each piece of music
begins and ends before listen-
ing. Opt for the LPs!) Dr.
Steen. Natural History should
be changed to the title of the
textbook. Joy of Nature. My
students next year will benefit
from what you have taught
me. That covers the fall sem-
mester, with the exception of
Mrs. Clark. To you, dear
Christian teacher, I must say
your worships and your
warmth were an inspiration. I
sympathize with your lack of
communication in grammar to
this student. That was painful!

Well, here we are on the
home stretch heading for the
finish line! Environmental
Problems--this is my last
course from you. Dr. Steen.
Vou have become a valued
family friend as well as a
respected professor. I will
ich of this course with

7th

fall.

(NOTE:

science of health

enough to be a required class,

surely this course should hold

a place of equal worth.) Then

there is Basic Math the Thur-

berway. ni always be glad for

'he confidence I gained in

math from this course. Gary,

your knowledge and patience
are a combination that make
you appreciated. Thank you...
Lastly, there is Student
Teaching. Mrs. Stepanske.
however do you put up with
us? What an experience the
teaching experience is! From
tears to triumph, to days when
1 just knew 1 had failed to
communicate, to days rich in
understanding!! You are
right, it is not a win or lose
thing. ..it is falUng and getting
up and up and up again. I'll
learn and they will. too.

Disappointments? Of
course. ..there must have been
some. Oh! Why is it that 4 out
of 4 letters mailed to me from
the Education Department
this year all contained the
wro. J information?? Oh well,
who "cares, 1 AM GRADU-
ATING!!! This cannot be
complete without many thanks
to those who did not teach me
a class but who taught me to
survive college living. ..Diane
Proffitt, MY Mrs. Rolfe. Mr.
Stepanske. Mrs. Wells, and
Dean Hanson. Then there is
Dr. David Winters, without
your constant fight to keep me
healthy, I wouldn't be here.
No words of thanks will ever
Leslie, you are a

nderful

and

teacher. Thanks for being at
Math Helps.

In just a few days I'll be
an alumnus. I'll leave the
quiet world you have sheltered
me in to use the degree you
have granted me. I'll remem-
ber all you have provided me.
You must have changed hun-
dreds of lives and somehow I
feel you are all mine. May God
bless you. You'll always be a

part of me (even after the bill
is completely paid!)

I AM GRADUATING! I am
soooooo glad and I'll miss you.

Friday
is also
Sabbath

Dear Editors.

I was walking in front of
Thatcher Annex Friday eve-
ning and was disturbed to see
students arriving from town,
joking and laughing, carrying
armloads of packages fully 45
minutes after sundown. 1
know that not everybody
thinks the way I do, and I
don't mean to impose my
values on others, but 1 wish
the students at SMC would
come to see the beauty and the
importance of the beginning of
the Sabbath. I think they miss
a lot by continuing their daily
activities past the time God
has set aside as His. 1 so much
look forward to the release and
relaxation that comes at sun-
down on Friday, and 1 know 1
wouldn't get it if I were
driving around in town or
whatever. The answer
gislation. Required wo
or rules imposed by the oeaiib
would not help, and I would
resent them. It should be the
choice of the individual, I wish
the students would choose not
to miss the beauty God wants
us to share with Him.
Sincerely,
Ruth Stuyvesant
