a
^eiVmq ik pace
It used to be that journalism was simply a tool m the hand of
the reader that was used to assist in the formation of good
decisions. The information would be supphed by the mass
media, and the reader, viewer or Hstener would have all the
necessary facts needed for making intelligent choices.
Those days are gone. Now it all depends on the slant the
editors and the publishers take-whether it be with regard to
political, religious or cultural events. Power of the press was
misused.
What happened to pure journalism? It has become a casualty-
of greedy and power-seeking men in high places.
In the midst of all the super giants who control thoughts and
decisions, it wouldn't seem that our one small college
newspaper could do much to influence a change. Perhaps it
can't. But to stick to the facts and bring back one of those basic
antiquities that served as a decision-making tool would be a
testimony to the reader, no matter how small a percentage of
the population, that pure journalism is not extinct.
Beyond that: To relay the facts-the unslanted facts-to the
student body of Southern Missionary College would show the
Accent's faith and truth in the thinking ability of our college
students. So here's the plan:
1 . We will attempt to supply a paper that is factually accurate,
2. We will supply any news that is important information for
assisting students in decision making.
3. We will work on fulfilling the above two policies in a
journalistic manner that insures high quality.
4. We will, as a secondary purpose, include items to not only
inform, but to entertain.
This will not all be easy. To meet these goals will mean
work-hard work.
Here's your part! To help maintain a newspaper that is in
keeping with what students are interested in reading, you can
make us aware when we are failing you. the reader. We may
make mistakes, but we will be willing to correct our errors.
Here's to a year of thought provocation, consideration and

A message
from your SA president and . .
It is hard to believe that
another summer has flashed
before our eyes, and we are
once again preparing our-
selves to meet the deadlines of
a demanding college sche-
dule. On behalf of the entire
team of Student Association
officers I welcome you to
SMC. The rested and re-
freshed faces of friends, both
old and new, is indeed a
welcomed sight to our
campus.
If you are beginning college
for the first time, you will want
to allow yourself a little time to
adjust. You may find that
college life is a challenge, but
It is not nearly the impossi-
bility you may have visualized
during registration. For those
of you returning to SMC, we
sincerely hope that this year
will prove to be better than
Accent and Campus Chatter
for future announcements. We
encourage as many of you as
possible to become involved in
this year's activities. One way
to become involved is through
the Student Association Sen-
ate. Senate elections will be
held on September 24 and 25.
Qualifications for being a can-
didate for senator will be
published in the next issue i^|
the Campus Chatter. If
should qualify, please

taking applications for ean^l
dacy on September 9.

The chances are "pretty

dollars will be raised, accord-
ing to Gary Thurber, adver-
tising manager. "The Accent
has many new advertisers this
year and is on the verge of
signing many more."
The ad rates are also being
raised this year, a fact that
Seaman defends as necessary
and fair. "The quality of the
paper should improve because
of extra staff this year. We
also have added two additional
photographers with the pos-
sibility of hiring one more."
Another new policy this
year, according to Seaman, is
the addition of outside sub-
scribers who receive their
Accents by first class mail.
"This is being done as a
service." Seaman says, "as
well as to expand our cir-
culation base."
Seaman has high hopes for
the school year. "I believe this
will be a good yaer." he says,
"because of the staffand their
willingness to give that extra
shot. It will be tough to begin
with, but things should level

Directions
While teaching at Princeton
University, Albert Einstein
filled the blackboard in his
classroom with long and com-
plicated equations. At the
close of each session he left
instructions for the janitor who
cleaned the room. Across the
numerals, signs of square
roots, and cubes-across ev-
erything- he wrote the word
"ERASE." But in one corner
of the board, by the simple
equation 2 — 2 = 4, he put
'■DO NOT ERASE!" Einstein
did not want his students to
forget the foundation upon
which all mathematical equa-
tions were based. Moses also
desired to teach this lesson of
remembering to his people
just before they were to cross
into Canaan. In an effort to
help them remember the pur-
pose and reason for being
where they were, he said,
■ 'Take heed lest you forget the
Lord your God." Deut. 8:11,
RSV.
The principle of Einstein's
blackboard and the warning of
Moses contain a significant
lesson for us today which
affects three areas of our life,
h is significant for us as INDI-
VIDUALS. In the high-paced
schedule of college life, we
can be so easily caught up in a
time trap. We must study to
make the grades and work to
pay the bills, and we can soon
discover that time for God is
lessened or put off until a
convenient season. We may
even become so busy in
"good" extracurricular activ-
ities that our priorities get
mixed up and we forget the
purpose of our stay on earth.
We must take heed as in-
dividuals lest we forget the
Lord our God.
It is also significant for us as a
SCHOOL. In a year when
enrollment records of the past
will not be broken, can we
become so concerned with the
waning numbers that the prin-
ciples of Christian education
are pushed into the back-
ground? And, in a year when
SMC will be evaluated, can we
be so concerned with our
academic and scholastic rat-
ings that they become the
chief object of our concentra-
tion? We as a school need to
take heed lest we forget the
Lord our God.
Finally, it is significant for us
as a CHURCH. The Jews are
often pointed to as an example
of those who forgot the Lord
their God. They had the
Scriptures and the prophecies,
but they were so busy defining
the fine points of the law that
they didn't recognize the Law-
giver when He came. We
today have the danger of
falling into the same trap of
majoring in minors.
As the remnant church we
have the last message to be
preached to the world. We are
the church that keeps the
commandments of God and
has the testimony of Jesus
Christ. But can we become so
tied up in syntax (study of
word structures) that we for-
get the Creator of all lan-
guage? Can we be so busy
trying to prove our theological
standpoints that we fail to
obtain and maintain a relation-
ship with God? Will we be so
intent on knowing the signs of
the end that when it comes,
we won't know the Savior?
We as a church must take
heed lest we forget the Lord
our God.
As individuals let us study
hard and work hard. Let us
get involved in helping others
and having a good time, but
let's not forget the One who
gives us the strength to do
these things. As a school, let
us strive for the highest
academic success, improve
our buildings and expand our
curriculum, but let us keep the
Founder of Christian educa-
tion in focus. And as a church
let us keep searching for a
better and clearer under-
standing of truth, but not
forget the Rock upon which we
rest.
Take heed lest you forget the
Lord your God.

Griffin and Linderman remembered
One Southern Missionary
College staff member and one
SMC student were killed this
summer in two separate auto-
mobile accidents.
Daina Griffin, a nursing
student, lost her life in Win-
slow. Arkansas, on July 11,
1981. A memorial service for
Daina, daughter of Elder and
Mrs. Jim Griffin, was held in
the Shreveport First church on
Sabbath afternoon. July 11.
An excerpt from a letter
Daina's parents sent to Col-
lege Chaplain Jim Herman
said:
Thank you so much for the
expressions of sympathy
and compassion at the time
of Daina's death. We appre-
ciated the beautiful plant,
the flowers from the Stu-
dent Association, the tele-
phone calls and the letter.
Please convey our thanks to
the staff members who had
a part in all of this.
Marion Linderman, public
service librarian at the McKee
Library since 1962, was killed
on July 5, 1981 near Cross-
ville, Tennessee.
In giving the eulogy. Dr.
Frank Knittel remembered:
She was a sympathetic
counselor, and it is the
person of Mrs. Linderman
that we cherish in our
memories. Unfailingly kind,
unflinchingly professional.
she had the rare gift of
synthesizing her total life
with spiritual values. We
never saw her cross, we
never heard her impatient,
we always saw in her a rea-
sonable facsimile of our
Lord. We remember with
love and treasure the mem-
ory with tears.

The sports scene is taking
shape at Southern Missionary
Coach Stephen Jaecks is
very optimistic about this
year's softbali intramurals.
Both A and B league fast pitch
teams were picked this week
as well as several slow pitch
learns. More than 350 softbali
enthusiasts signed up this
year, surpassing last year's
totals. Get out and cheer your
favorite team on; times and
teams are posted at both
dorms and the gym.
The last day to sign up for
the 1981 SMC tennis tour-
nament is Friday, September
4. All are invited to participate
as over 40 have signed up so
far.
The gym is open for recrea-
tion the following times:
Sunday - 1-4 p.m.,
weekdays - 8 a.m. -5 p.m.
whenever a class is not in
session, and Tuesday and
Thursday nights from S-7 p.m.

described the turnout and the
talent so far at the gymnastic
practices. Over 50 students
have come out for practice this
week. Garver added, ■'We'll
miss some of the old stand-
bys, but we'll make it. There's
a lot of good talent out here."
Sports [sports], n.. I. a/iy
activity or experience that
gives enjoyment or recreation:
pastime: diversion. 2. snch an
activity requiring more or less
vigorous bodily exertion and
carried on according to some
traditional form or set of rules,
whether outdoors, as football,
hunting, golf racing, etc.. or
indoors, as basketball, bowl-
ing, squash, etc. 3. fun: play.
Webster

New World Die-
Was it a slip of the tongue
or did he really mean it?
When a well-known big-
time college football coach
(who shall remain nameless)
was taken to task by a dis-
appointed alumni for his
team's downfall in a surpris-
ing upset defeat, he alibied
himself by blurting out:
"All of my college boys
played like a bunch of ama-
tgurs."
Whether we take our sports
as seriously as that football
coach or whether we simply
play for the exercise, everyone
can enjoy sports. As ihe
dictionary definition above
states, our sport(s) requires
three things: recreation, exer-
tion (with controls), and above
all. it should be FUN! The
main thing is to get involved.
Involvement is the key word
this year in SMC sports. You
don't have to be athletic to
take part in the athletics
available to each and every
student. From baseball to
cycling, from basketball to
jogging, you can participate in
almost any sport that you like.
This year the Southern
Accent will attempt to cover
all aspects of the sporting life
at SMC. Not only will we

Pro forecast
While the baseball players
were striking because they
want to own the world, foot-
ball camps were getting ready
to kick off another N.F.L.
campaign.
As an addition to the South-
ern Accent this year, I will be
bringing you predictions on
upcoming games and events
in major professional sports.
Hopefully this column will
prove to be accurate as well as
entertaining.
The
/ill be
mterest-
ing races in the N.F.L. this
season, as last year produced
several newcomers to the
playoff scene.
In the N.F.C. East, Dallas
and Philadelphia should battle
down to the last day of the
season and could end up with
identical records again. Wash-
ington and St. Louis will both
be improved, but not enough
to challenge the leaders.
The N.F.L. Central is the
division where you close your
eyes and draw straws. Detroit
and Chicago have the most
liiient. Minnesota the best
uoach, and nobody knows
what the Bay's will do.
In the West, Atlanta and
L.A. will fight it out to the
end. If Pat Haden stays
healthy, look for the Rams to
barely edge out the Falcons.
Turning to the A.F.C. fast,
Buffalo has made great strides
since Chuck Knox took over as
coach and should win their
division again.

We can't afford
to waste it.

Dear Mom and Dad:
Well, classes are finally
starting. I'm afraid 1 have
some bad news, though. In-
stead of continuing in elemen-
tary education like you wanted
me to, I am on my way to
becoming a very successful
undertaker. Hope you don't
mind.
I'd kind of planned on a
more lively career, but all that
was left by the time 1 got to
register was Principles of
Embalming. Layout and De-
sign, and College Decompo-
sition 101 (the night section).
Oh, also Foundations of Bur-
iology. 1 was really lucky to get
that. The FB teacher, Dr.
Frank N. Steen. just sort of
squeezed me in at the last
minute. He's the greatest.
Anyway. I think it's going to
be a good year. By the way,
I'm really sorry 1 didn't make
it home any the past two
Christmases-I was still regi-
stering.
To start with, I had a hard
time finding the gymnasium.
The grass has just sort of
grown up around the people,
you know, and it makes it
difficult to get to the door
without stepping on someone.
By the time 1 finally got in,
several of the teachers listed
on my schedule had retired, so
I had to make a few changes.
It was kind of funny-there
was this little boy in front of
me with his mother. When I
saw him again, his mother was
gone and he was inside regis-
tering for Freshman Comp.
Time certainly does fly.
I have a really neat room in
the dorm. Remember, Mom,
it's on the ninth floor, the one
with the stairs that had just
been painted when 1 moved in.
anyhow, if I H^ down on the
floor I can touch one wall with
my head and the opposite wall
with my feet, both at the same
time. Makes it so much easier
to do sit-ups-I'm sure you can
imagine. Kind of hard to fit
our beds in, but if we open the
closet doorTit's not bad at all.
that way we can get dressed
without getting up, too.
Speaking of "we", you should
meet my roommate. She's 6'
5" and plays quarterback on
the football team here. I like
her pretty well so far. When-
ever I wake up in the mornings
she always greets me with a
friendly "HIKE!" and throws
her pillow at me. I'm sure I
can learn to adjust, though.
Well, 1 have to run to class.
College is a lot of fun and I'm
doing fine, as you can tell, so
don't even think about worry-
ing. Everything is going great.
Tell everyone hello for me.

For openers, that's ok, but the
picture of SMC is by no means
complete. I'd like to share
with you a few additional good
points about your college.
I've chosen four general
interest areas as follow;
1) NATURAL-Parks and
recreation areas abound, with
caves and hiking trails to add
to the adventure. Our East
Tennessee and Smoky Moun-
tains ecosystem is unsur-
passed by any other in the
United States for its variety
and range.
2} HISTORICAL-Civil War
battlefields and Indian relics
surround you here. You can
go far without succumbing to
the impression that you've
stepped right into a history
book page. Chickamauga
Battlefield. Lookout Point,
Signal Mountain. Russell
Cave-these will become
familiar names to you. A well
equipped and growing rail-
road museum in Chattanooga
harks back to the romantic
heyday of railroads. (That's
3) GASTRONOMICAL"
Chatanooga offers a wide var-
iet>' of places to tickle the
palate. For the spend-thrift
there are KowIoon& Peking
Restaurants, Gula's. The
Peddler. The Sail-Maker, and
a few others. For those who
want to eat well, but save a
few bucks for essentials-there
are Taco Fiesta, Taco Bell,
THATCHER HALL
Duffs, Morrison's Cafeteria,
Pizza Caesar's, Pizza Palace,
and others. Good eating.
4) ECONOMICAL-Northgate
and Eastgate, Chattanooga's
two major shopping malls,
have all the stores you need to
visit. And if these don't
totally satisfy your shopping
urge, just a short drive north
on the Interstate will bring you
to Cleveland with two very
nice malls there.
Oh, yes. One last thing.
Don't be like the Portuguese
man-o-war jelleyfish; he
spreads himself out on the
water and waits for the wind to
make things happen. You
make the choices, you make
things happen-a little effort
perhaps, but always worth it.
"And do some studying.

Right now the College is
working on endowment funds
which will be a big help in

Another source for earning
college tuition is work at the
College or related industries.
"We guarantee every student
a job," Wells stated, "but
they must come in and apply.
In our placement of students,
we try to employ them in their
area of interest." She went on
to say that the preferred job is
not always available. "If the
student chooses not to work at
the assigned place, that is it.
We feel we have done our
duty."
Wells also stressed that a
Christian education is afford-
able and possible for every
college student, but there
must be sacrifices. "A student
needs to arrange priorities,"
she pointed out. Sometimes
the choice is between a new
sports car and a Christian
education. In the times ahead,
students may need to be more
frugal and stick to their jobs.
But with careful planning,
they can make it.

The new structure will bring
the entire music faculty under

Dr. Robertson's 15 years at

five different buildings: the

The new facility is about ten

worship that is firm but fair. _
Each year they've asked themselves such questions as, "How
many skips should we allow," or, "What should we do after
excessive skips have been taken?"
With the advent of a new school year came a total revamping
of the system of worship credits. Enter the point.
The point works something like our monetary system. You
pay so many points and then you're free to do what you please
during the week's remaining worship times. This seems fair
when you consider that it is only required to attend half as many
worships as there are points possible.
To add further interest to the system, note that the point
system works like a game of 'Pit' or 'Rook', If more worships
than are needed in a week are attended, then the worshiper
builds of a credit reserve that can be used for more skips at
future times.
If, however, a week of worships are skipped, then points are
docked and the student must dig himself out of the hole with
increased worship attendance during later weeks.
Judgement comes to those who slide too far into the hole.
What appeals to my curiosity is this-certain worships are
worth two points while others are only worth one.
What determines whether a worship is a one pointer or a two
pointer? Is it the duration of the service? Is it the especially
blessed speakers who expound so beautifully on two-pointer
nights? Perhaps two-pointer's guarantee an additional spiritual
blessing for the audience.

Dear Editor:
I view the loss of our rec

part, with the extreme lack of
quality entertainment on

students downtown for their
Saturday night activities. I
don't think this is the goal of
the administration, but I feel
this is what will happen.
Isn't it better to have the

to have them in Talge than at

Cafeteria serves baked students
In case you hadn't noticed,
the cafeteria's air conditioning
has been functionally inert
since Friday. September 5.
Student reactions varied little.
"Breakfast has been toler-
able, but lunch has been much
too hot," observed Jeff
Osbom. "Noticeably uncom
fortable."
Louie Parra recalled. "I
don't eat in the cafeteria, but!
find It unbearable just walkine
through." ^
A simple solution, at least
when the cafeteria isn't
crowded, was offered by Ken
Cook. "I always eat in the
banquet room.' The air con-
ditioner works in there."
It s not bad today, but I
usually find it far too" hot and

"Hey, it's very uncomfort-
able in here. I think it's hotter
than fire!" Steve Flach em-
phasized humorously.

Steel girders hoisted
m
The steel beams of the new
humanities building, which
ivill house the Art, English,
Office Administration, History
and Communication depart-
ments, are taking shape. Ac-
cording to Jack McClarty,
director of development, the
steel-which was ordered in
January-is giving impetus to
(hefmishing touch. The build-
ing, yet unnamed at press
time, will eventually replace
Lynn Wood Hall entirely.
Business Manager Richard
Reiner says that there is no
completion date available at
present, but the structure
1 should be finished in two or
1 three years. The reason for
L delayed construction is that
■ progress depends mostly on
■ pledged money, which comes
1 slowly. The steel beams,
le outside wall and the roof
an be completed very soon.
The project, which neigh-
bors the new Music building,
will cost between 1.8 and 2
million dollars. Southern Mis-
sionary College plans to use
its own crew on the building,
the last major project to be
built at the college for
snackers' delight
New diner to entice
The construction in the stu-
dent center is fast tending
toward a new snack bar, which
will soon be opening for
service. According to Elder
K. R. Davis, about $10,000
was appropriated last year out
of the Student Association,
budget to build the new dining
facility.
The cafeteria plans to run
the snack bar, which will serve
items not served any other
place on campus. The new
menu includes specialty sand-
wiches, virgin pina coladas,
frogurt. fruit, and drinks.
Students may use their I.D.
cards in the new "adventure
in eating."
Opening date is uncertain at
press time, but Barrel
Starkey, who is helping con-
struct the facility, believes it
should be open around Sep-
tember 20. It then will be open
selectively during the day, in
the evening, and on Saturday
night.
Maintenance, along with
Dr. Melvin Campbell, Davis,
and Starkey, has been busy
building the snack bar for the
past couple weeks. Davis
disclosed that the interior will
be decorated ' 'old timey' ' with
hanging plants and Norman
Rockwell prints.

semester hour, not to mention
a 12 percent tuition hike per
year unpaid. I could go to
school for one year and com-
plete the 36 hours for a cost of
$6,000 {at present costs).
This leaves me with three
options: 1) Get $6,000 from my
parents, which is hopeless; 2)
Claim independence and get
full BEOG. but that will
probably cut existing ties
between my parents and me,
and I would lose what clothes,

get; or 3) Work full time after
my last aided year and go to

alternative 1 most likely will
choose.
I wish the General Confer-

The Softball intramurals

hoff, Burks and Hunt all tied
for first in men's B league play
after one week of action.
Kryger. Griffin and Morris
have the upper hand in the
women's league, with Leonard

opening games. In men's A

division having won their first
two games.
In B league action, Dicker-
hoff and Hunt look awfully
tough so far, and 1 wouldn't be
surprised if either of them
were to win the league. The
women's league is a little
closer to call because any
game could turn around in one
inning, but if I were to pick a
team it would have to be
Kryger. Her team has a lot of
talent. In men's A league the
team to beat is Leonard's,
although Smith's team will

the crown. The slowpitch _ „ . ^

comes a contest in which
deep emotions and mental
backgrounds are being
tested.
Perhaps, we should take a
close look at what profes-
sional sports really means to
us individually. I think
sports can be entertaining
and a source of enjoyment,
but when it becomes time-
consuming and a source of
rivalries, arguments, and/
or physical violence, I beli-
eve that it becomes wrong,
very wrong!
Let's keep pro sports
where it should be, as a
conversation item or pure
entertainment, not a life-
and-death struggle that has
to be reenacted each week.

Pro forecast
Week #1 is history for the
National Football League in
1981. As a wise inan once
said, "Let by-gones be
by-gones!"
In the first week, the under-
dogs won 6 of the 14 games.
There were only 2 inter-
conference games, with the
A.F.C. winning both times.
Second week action starts
on Thursday night with Pitts-
burgh at Miami. This should
be one of many very close
games for week #2. Don't be
surprised to see at least one
game go info overtime.
Up north. Atlanta faces a
hot packer team, but the
Falcons should come out on
top, Cleveland and Houston
will have a war in Ohio, and
while Kansas City and Tampa
Bay aren't top playoff con-
tends, they should play a
down-to-the-wire contest.
"If" Seattle plays well, they
may win their first regular
season home game in over a
year. The Jet's should pull a
mild upset by defeating Cin-
cinnati.

Prep thing came along and
kind of upset us. Of course,
we were like every other

how much we had to squint
when looking at a prep.

Christ lives through Bothwell's talks
Elder Roger Bothwell, cur-
rently an instructor at the
Loma Linda School of educa-
lion. is conducting this sem-
ester's Week of Spiritual
Emphasis at Southern Mis-
sionary College.
Concerned with different
glimpses of the life of Christ,
Elder Bothwell's meetings in-
clude personal-style views of
Christ's value system. His
extensive powerful prayer life;
His mysterious blend of
humanity and livinity and His
beautiful relations with the
people of His time.
Elder Bothwell served as
pastoral Georgia-Cumberland
Academy for four years, and
he says: "I feel quite at home
here at SMC." "In fact." he
added, "without intending to
alienate other schools, SMC
students are some of the
warmest in the world!"
Looking forward to being
with SMC's students, Elder
Bothwell says the first two
meetings are the most dif-
ficult because the students are
"looking him over" wonder-
ing whether he's for real or a
phoney.
' ' For real ' ' more closely
characterizes these student
comments concerning the first
part of the week: "He makes
everything so realistic, he puts
you right there." "The meet-
ings are inspiring." "Looks
like we're going to have a
good week."
In addition to his speaking
appointments. Elder Bothwefl
counseled interested students
throughout the week.
Cutting to the heart of the
issue about the outcome of the
meetings, the speaker ap-
pealed; "I wish for more than
an emotional high. What we
need is a genuine revival, not
only for the young people, but
for their parents as well."
Elder Bothwell's ministry
here at SMC testifies to his
hope of a spiritual regenera-
tion for SMC and elsewhere.
Small town prosperity
Elder Roger Bothw
Collegedale operates above inflation
The City of Collegedale has
an $82,000 surplus this year,
partially due to Southern Mis-
sionary College.
"The budget is very easy to
explain," commented Dr.
Wayne VandeVere, Vice May-
or of the City of Collegedale
and Chairman of the Division
of Business and Office Admin-
istration. "During the 1979-
80 fiscal year, we had a
$30,000 deficit because of
unexpected expenses. So for
the 1980-81 fiscal year, we
tried to keep the budget in
check and encourage conser-
vative spending by the City
Manager."
The budget was kept in
check. The City of College-
dale was $10,000 under the
$628,000 budget, according to
an audited report released
September 8. Tax revenues
brought in over $700,000.
Southern Missionary Col-
lege also had a part in the
budget surplus. For many
years the College did not pay
taxes on much of its commer-
cial and residential property.
SMC did pay some money to
the city in lieu of taxes for the
city services received. How-
ever, in February of this year,
Claude Ramsey, the new As-
sessor of Taxes for Hamilton
County, put much of SMC's
property back on the tax rolls.
SMC was forced to pay the
assessments. the City of
Collegedale directly benefited
from this.
The surplus has also raised
■ tens who

of !
complain of high taxes and a
low level of city services,
especially road maintenance
and repair.
"I think it's outrageous."
commented one citizen. "Col-
legedale has one of the high-
est city tax rates in Hamilton
County and then they have a
surplus. "
What are the city's plans as
far as taxes are concerned?
According to Dr. VandeVere.
barring any drastic cut in
federal or state money, there
will be no "significant in-
ing years.

When I heard this summer that the Religion dep^*"^°' "^J
under attack. I was mUdly surprised After all, 1 have ^ken
three classes taught by professors m the department and! was
never aware of any false teachings. Furthermore, everything
tauBht me was in agreement with what I had grown up Jo teallTe
as Uie foundations and doctrines of the Seventh-day Adventlst
Where did all the murmerings and rumors come from? I just
couldn't accept the possibUity that summer had brought with it
an onslaught of departmental shortcomings.
Upon my arrival at SMC I was met by two functions. One
distributed letters that complained about the supposed heresys
of the religion department. On the other hand, however.
President Knittel defended SMC's reputation with his
convincing presentations which answered those who spread
rumors and accuse the establishment of falluig by the wayside.
Things were confusing-confusing, that is, until I discovered
something I should have expected all along.
As a student in a fourth religion class at SMC, 1 have been
listening with particular interest to what the teacher has to say.
I was surely one of those students who, as 0r. Knittel put it,
"will watch them closely."
Recently my attention has shifted. Now instead of watching
the teacher, I'm watching the students.
Teachers are still teaching what they have been teaching
throughout the years-knowledge that has been compiled after
much study and even more thought.
What's amazing are the things students teach.
If a teacher states that he doesn't know if there will be
marriage in heaven, some student is likely to raise his hand and
ask why there won't be marriage in heaven.
Just let a professor speculate that maybe the Second Coming
won't be for another ten years, and you almost predict that at
least one student will tell his peers about his religion teacher
who said the Second Coming isn't going (o be for at least ten
I have watched in disbelief as students monopolized religion

*wiil the day ever come when students in religion classes
attempt to solidify their faith with good thinking and sound logic
»nc"ming questions that are vital to Adventist doctrme?
Or as I fear, wUI classes continue to harbor those who
continually twist the words of professors who are attempting to
give fuller meaning to the Christian philosophy of love?

Letters
Dear Editor:
In reply to last week's letter I
would like to expound on
Brother F— 's position just a
little.
. Most of the Brother F— 's
I've listened to were new
Adventists some 30 years ago
when they were college age.
They chose SMC because of
its spiritual zeal and atmos-
phere. Times were hard then
as they are now as far as
money went, but even harder
when you speak of spiritual or
religious prejudice.
These new Adventists found
a home here where they could
grow spiritually. Soon they
began an outreach program
into Chattanooga which at that
time was an hour's ride away
over rough roads. It was hard,
but now we see the benefits of
all this; our school is highly
respected in the area.

Being eroded at its founda-

What harm can a pool table

we spend more time using
such things as TV's, pool
tables and electronic games
and less time committing our

become wicked.

Waterman is a maker of
documentary films about the
world under the sea. In the
course of a quarter century of
experience in the sea he has
acquired a first-hand know-
ledge of marine animals and
man's activity in the sea.
Through his many encoun-

has become particularly fami-

and underwater cameraman

It Waterman's coming presentallon,
"Blue Water. White Death",
a feature film about the real
search for the great white
shark. The film was produced
almost ten years before
"Jaws" appeared.
That same year that
"Jaws" was published Water-
man went with the author,
Peter Benchley, to Australia to
film the real confrontation
between the "Jaws" origi-
nator and a 16' white shark off
the South Australian Coast.
The film caused a sensation
on the ABC Network and is
now part of Mr. Waterman's
program under the title, "The
Author Meets the Jaws."
He produced and filmed all
the action for an NBC hour
special on sharks and most
recently returned from an
expedition to the Sea of Cortez
where he filmed massed
schools of hammerhead sharks
underwater and the activities
of the giant manta rays.
The manta ray story appea-

Waterman lives in Prince-
ton. N.J. with his wife,
Susanna, and summers on
Penobscot Bay when he is not
off making films.

it that with all the preparation

Several reasons for this loss
have been brought to my
attention. First, let us con-
sider the number of these

The concentration of meet-

Spiritual Emphasis also poses
the problem of what happens
afterward. With such a
titanical impact there is a
drastic drop in spirit that
leaves many students having a
difficult time correlating their
new ideas and adopting them
into their daily life.

SAgenate chosen
College government wants you
The polls have been opened
for the 1981-82 Student Senate
elections. This year's race is
marked by a combination of
involvement and apathy.
In contrast to a low level of
participation that has become
i trend in years past, village
students must choose from a
list of eight candidates. There
ire four seats reserved in the
lenate for village students.
Thatcher Hall, which sends
the largest representation to
the SA senate, had only five
lidates running in four
precints by application dead-
line. The reamining six pre-
cincts were only occupied by
candidates after SA president
Roger Burke contacted con-
stituents living in the various
precincts.
When asked how he chose
those whom he asked to run,
Burke stated that he contacted
acquaintances whom he felt
would do a good job in
representing their consti-
The Student Senate is the
legislative branch of the Stu-
dent Association of Southern
Missionary College. The Sen-
ate regulates the objectives
and policies of the Student
Association as well as the
association's committees.
Those wishing to become
senators were required to
have a GPA or at least 2.25
and have spent at least 9
weeks at SMC.
Senate meetings are held
approximately every two
weeks or. with account being
taken for vacations and exam
weeks, about 12 times per
year.
Besides the Thatcher Hall
representation of ten senators
and the village representation
of four senators, Talge Hall
sends eight representatives.
Jones sends one and one
senator represents Orlando.
Senators may represent pre-
cincts other than the one they
live on. although male sena-
tors may not represent the
women's dorm and vica versa.
Senators work on a volun-
tary basis so receive no pay.
They are, however, invited to
a senator's banquet held at
the end of the school year.
Voting will continue the
evening of Thursday, Septem-
ber 24. in the dorms between
the hours of 8 p.m. and 10
p.m. Friday morning voting
will be held in the Student
Center between the hours of 9
p.m. and 12 noon.
For a complete listing of the
candidates and the precincts
they represent, see page 4.
Doll house survives
The Doll
House begins
its career
(right)
a final resting
by William Dubois
Along with the large and
modern buildings rising on the
campus of Southern Mis-
sionary College, another ad-
dition that is neither large nor
modern takes its place.
The structure, having been
moved between Camp Road
and the tennis courts, is the
only building that remains
from the original Thatcher
plantation. It will stand as a
historical landmark represent-
ing the time when SMC was in
its infant stage.
The Doll House, as the
former play house is known,
was built by James Thatcher
for his daughter Evadne in
about the year 1850.
After the college claimed
ownership of the play house,
the president of SMC used the
small building as his office. It
wasn't long, however, until it
became apparent that the
cramped space would not suf-
fice.
The Doll House took a
drastic step down from its
exalted state to the status of a
storage shed for bee hives.
Destined to constantly
changing roles, the House
quickly became the focus of
attention when a student con-
tracted small pox. The school
did not yet have its own health
service, so the Doll House
became a hospital quarantine
Later, the constantly chang-
ing piece of history became a
shoe repair shop.
After being moved to where
Daniel Hall now stands, the
Doll House was used as a
dormitory room for several of
the female students.
Next came use as a prayer
room, with the switch then
being made to a music studio
during the 1 924-25 school
year, A handle resembling
those on a Victrola was at-
tached to the side of the
building known during this
period as the "Grafanola."
After the music majors be-
came tired of the tiny practice
area, the building was again
moved and began use as a
storehouse for seed and, later,
for tools.
In 1958, after 40 years of
constant college use, the Doll
House was sold. It was soon
missed by alumni and a suc-
cessful attempt was made to
bring the versatile house back
to its original home.

To think that even the minutest portion of my tuition supports
a regime like the absence committee burdens my rational mmd
to the brink of rage. I maintain that the committee is as uesless
as it is thankless.
Each student pays approximately $6,000 annually to attend a
fiill class schedule here at SMC, and in my opinion our students
are also adult enough to know how often they will attend class m
order to make the grades they want to graduate with. Most
people are here to get an education that will give them
opportunities for jobs to support a family or make money for
something. And at $6,000 a year, I feel our students are aware
enough to avail themselves of the education they are paying for.
OK, you disagree. You think some students need prompting.
They're not adult enough. So a complaining-parent constituency
makes an absence committee necessary? 1 doubt any
constituent would support the absence committee if they knew
all the irrationality and subjectivity connected with its
preposterous decisions.
It is absolutely ridiculous that a student can go to health
service with slight stomach cramps (probably just a little
gas-try Turns or Aika-Seltzer--and I'm not even a nurse!) or an
equally slight headache and get a signature that automatically
grants them one of those coveted EXCUSED's on top of their
yellow absence slip.
Vet those of us who are healthy and have responsibilities that
once in a great while keep us up till 3 or 4 a.m. can't get an
excuse for an 8 a.m. class even though it's the first class we've
skipped in three decadesi Beyond absurdity indeed!
Remembering that it's so elementary, academic, and
authoritarian to even organize an absence system at all, one has
to see the above comparison shadowed by a dark cloud of
superfluous nonsense. (The absence committee- -not my
comparison. Thank you, logicians.)
If we must have an absence policy, a need which I deem
egregious at best, let's at least not take it for granted that every

Would you liJte a research paper next week on the effects of
missing sleep and its importance for proper psychological
functioning and comprehension (at least enough to make going
to class worthwhile), or would you prefer me call every faculty
member on the absence committee every 15 minutes or so all
night one night and expect them to function at top efficiency the
next day?
If anyone would like to retaliate and assure me that they could
do it with no problem. I really don't care to participate in their
foolhardy, macho extravagance of body and mind.
To those wise old faculty members who possess that wise old
comeback about planning and priorities concerning proper rest,
1 have but one coup d 'e 'tat: Any complaints about the Accent or
the Joker being late or containing too many mistakes will be met
with the utmost scorn, ridicule, defensiveness, intolerance, and
all those other protocol techniques 1 have honed to perfection
through the eager assistance and modeling of the absence
committee. Danke schon! Grade! I am deeply indebted.
Dear Editor:
As Binky, Kip, Rip, Trip,
and 1 walked the hallowed
steps of Jacob's ladder, we
were impressed by the pre-
sence of two species of hu-
manity that roamed the hon-
ored walkways ot our beloved
Alma Mater. There was us,
and then there were them.
They were the ones who
wore the Nike T-shirts, Puma
warm-up jackets, with Adidas
sneakers, Speedo warm-up
pants and a hat with a logo
that read something like "Bet-
ter Red than Dead." They
were also the ones that wore
their besl K-Mart short-sleeve
dress shirts with their polyes-
ter doulbe-knit pants and a
brand of topless shoes that
oozed with the incredible
smell of unwashed feet-
known as flip-flops.
The old boys and I tried to
reason why they would choose
such unpractical garb, but we
could not explain it. Let's face
»-that style of clothing just is
not practical-the sweat suits

perspiration; the polyester
double knit picks and runs and
balls: if it's raining, your feet
get all wet and slippery and
you slide all over the wet spots
like you were riding the por-
celian honda down the Alpine
Slide.
My Dear Mr. Dickerhoff,
We old boys then looked at the
clothing we wore, thought for
a while and were convmced of
the practicality of the garb we
wore-the "peculiar garb" as
it is known in some other
circles. The button-down
collars-as Ms. Bimbach,
author of our handbook will
attest-keep our collars from
flappmg in our faces during a
polo match; the topsiders, or
"boat moccasins" that we
wear on board our Pearson
Flyer keep us from slippmg on
the wet deck and come in
equally handy when it rains,
as they keep us from sliding
on the wet sidewalks of this
sunshine-forsaken vUlage of
Collegedale.

Letters
continued
Dear Editor:
This letter is concerning an
article published in the Sep-
tember 17 issue of the Accent,
"Collegedale Operates Above
Inflation". First, how do you
operate above inflation? City
governments must plan for
and recognize inflation just as
any business or citizen must.
Because of planning College-
dale operates in spite of
inflation, but not above infla-
Second. Mr. Rozell did not
have his facts straight on a
couple of matters. CoUege-
', tax revenues were not
over $700,000.00. The correct
re is $252,050.11 for pro-
perty tax revenue. The total
revenue for the City of Col-
legedale was $800,322.51.
Near the end of his article
Mr. Rozell quoted a College-
dale citizen as saying in
part. 'Collegedale has one of
the highest city tax rates in
Hamilton County." There is
no question that a citizen said
this or even believes this,
however, reporter Rozell was
not thorough enough to check
with the Assessor of Property
for Hamilton County to see if
this was true. If the facts had
been checked by a simple
phone call he would have
learned that Collegedale is
NOT among the highest taxed
cities in the county.
All property owners in
Hamilton County pay S2.42
per $100.00 of assessed value
to the county. Those living in
various cities pay additional
taxes as follows: Lookout
Mountain. $2.90; Chattanoo-
ga. $2.56; Signal Mountain.
$2.50; Collegedale, $1.40;
East Ridge. $0.70; Red Bank,
$0.31.
Finally, while it is true that
Southern Missionary College
has had some unfortunate
problems concerning taxable
and non-taxable property, it
should be pointed out that on
June 23 the Collegedale City
Commission voted to return
ALL of the money paid
to the City by SMC over the
years on which they paid
taxes. This is determined on a
parcel by parcel basis and the
exact amount returned.
In the past few issues of the
Accent there have been quotes
regarding the freedom and
power of the press; please
keep in mind that with free-
dom and power comes respon-
sibilit>' to report truthfutlv and
■accurately.
SA budget sectioned
Is your Student Association
worth the money you pay?
According to Robert Mer-
chant, treasurer of SMC,
Southern Missionary College
students pay an average of
$32.40. or about 1.25% of
their tuition fees in SA dues.
What do SMC students get for
the money they pay?
Based on the SA budget for
1981-82, your dollars will help
pay for such things as Social
Activities, the publication of
the Accent and Southern
Memories, and the salaries of
the SA officers.
The total amount budgeted
this year for the SA is $65,000-
$62,000 from student fees and
$3000 from last year's surplus.
Merchant said, however, that
the amount the SA will receive
in dues this year is 511,000
less than last year because of
the enrollment drop. "It is
fortunate," he said, "that the
SA drew up a very conserva-
tive budget. They will be
receiving about $60,000 this
"We are going to keep the
budget in line." Roger Burke,
SA president pointed out. "It
is our primary concern to see
that each member of the
student body receives the
most possible benefit from
their SA dues."
The biggest part of the SA
budget goes to finance South-
em Memories, the school
yearbook. The $17,500 appro-
priation, an $1200 increase
over last year, will go for such
things as salaries, supplies,
SA Treasurer Rick Mountz e
and printing.
The nex^t largest appropria-
tion, $10,800. goes to the
Southern Accent, the SA news-
paper you are now reading.
The budgeted amount for the
paper has not increased over
last year, but SA President
Roger Burke defended the
budget freeze by pointing out
that the cost of paper has not
increased drastically over the
previous year. "Another fac-
tor," Burke added, "is that

supper to be held in the

will limit the possibility of any
student having all of his/her
tests on the same day right in
a row. Of course with the
cutback, some conflicts may
still occur, but the program
assures the barest minimum
of problems.
The third largest section of
the budget, the administra-
tive, at S8825. has come under
fire for providing SA officers
such things as plane ticket
fare to California and a week-
end trip to Gatlinburg. Burke
emphasized that the trip to
California last year was for the
American Intercollegiate As-
sociation, a union of North
American Adventist colleges.

tion helped give SMC's SA
better leaders and more ability
to serve the students. As for
the trip to Gatlinburg, Burke
admitted it was not all meet-
ings but he did point out the
main goal of the trip. "This
was to get our SA game plan
ready for this year. The trip"
helped the officers to get to
know each other better and
form a more cohesive group."
Other budget categories in-
clude: Student Activities, bud-
geted at $7350, which will pay
for such things as student
services and the Strawberry
Festival: Administrative
Grant-ln-Aid, $5975, which
pays the SA officers for their
work; S5025 for the Joker, a
pictorial directory of SMC
students and faculty; $4000 for
projects of the SA Senate and
$2000 for Miscellaneous Ap-
propriations.
The two smallest appropria-
tions were $1800 for Adminis-
trative Projects and $1725 for
Upkeep and Replacement of
the assets of the SA.

Crossroads
SA: is it doin^ its job?
YES
by Roger Burke
Without hiding behind the
veil of bias, my answer is an
emphatic yes. Many times the
role of the Student Association
is vaguely defined. So before
we can determine the answer
to the above question we must
define the role and purpose of
the organization.
The Student Association is a
student government in that it
is by the students and for the
students. It is an organization
of students formed to bring
under central leadership var-
ious co-curricular and extra-
curricular student activities.
This is essential for a growing
Christian college community.
In view of that definition, let's
see if the jobs get done.
Some of the more direct
benefits that you have and will
continue to receive from the
SA come in the form of prime
media. Provided for your ser-
vice and information are pub-
lications such as the Numer-
ique, Southern Memories
(year book), Southern Accent,
Campus Chatter and other
informative flyers and posters.
Those whom you elected for
these duties began work as far
back as the beginning of the
summer. Why? Because it is
their job.
The SA is a channel through
which the voices of individual
students may be heard. The
SA enjoys a great deal of
student representation in var-
ious policy-making com-
mitties on campus. Lest a
student feel that his opinions
are squelched by the relatively
vast population. I wish to point
out that the student senate
stands ready to present in
orderly fashion any heartfelt
view of any individual. In
addition we all have two or
more fellow students who are
presently being appointed as
voting members to faculty
committees such as Student
Affairs, Academic Affairs.
Loans and Scholorship, Artist
Adventure Series. Library,
Faculty Senate, and many
more. Through each of these
channels student views are
expressed. Why do we take
these measures to see that
democracy is alive and well?
Because it is our job.
Please do not fret; the SA is
equally concerned with the
social lives of SMC students.
Thus programs such as the
Big Bash, Oldywed Game,
Fall Festival, SA Fall Picnic,
cookie breaks, Christmas Ban-
quet, Strawberry Festival,
trips to Six Flags and other
places will be provided
throughout the year. Not to
■ exclude anyone, the SA sends
funds to the Orlando Campus
so that they can carry on their
own social programs. Why?
Becuase it's our job.
The elected and appointed
SA officers are all involved in
the smooth performance of all
the services and programs
listed above. The team spirit
that rises from the group
which you elected indicates
that this year will be a
fun-filled success. Shortly
after school started the SA
sponsor asked me how things
were going. I promptly ans-
wered in pleasant amazement,
"Everyone wants to work."
Why? Not just because it is
our job, but because of the
loving concern of each officer
for their fellow students.
byL
When we are posed with a
question such as this, 1 think it
is best to take a thoughtful
look to evaluate what the
question is really asking.
When it was brought to me,
the first thing that came to my
mind was not whether the
S.A. officers spend grueling
hours behind their desks,
throwing to the wind all
thought of schoolwork, sleep
or nutrition; but rather the
question, "What exactly is the
S.A.'s job and what is it doing
for the students?"
When I had turned these
new questions over in my
mind, I realized that I don't
feel the S.A. is doing its job in
the respect of a positive
its student body.
Who really knows what S.A.
is doing for the student body
besides the S.A. officers? For
that matter, can every student
attending SMC give a good
answer to the seemingly sim-
ple question. "What is the
S.A.?"
When all students are to
benefit from their member-
ship in this association then I
feel it is asking little to have
some more extensive public
relation promotions in action.
Are there possible un-
answered questions such as
these:
What information does the
S.A. have to offer me about
my school? What decisions
can the S.A. really make? Are
there programs or ideas that 1
can suggest that might be
thoughtfully considered? Can
I really take an active part in
my S.A.?

of a more open communica-

and its S.A.
The 4014 information num-

opening doors to better aware-

not need something more?
I think the students are
interested in knowing more

help with any improvements
this year's S.A. would try to

Directions
It seems in today's world
that everyone tries to gain our
attention by some means.
Advertising constantly cries
out "Try this! Read that!
taste, listen, buy . . !" In the
field of religion the same is
true. Another pamphlet,
handout, tape, or book always
exists that you "must" read to
be "up" on things. From both
inside and outside the Church
material abounds. But there
just isn't enough time to wade
through all the papers and
tapes available. What should
we do? Which ones should be
read? Below are several
guidelines that may be of
some help.
First we should READ and
study THE BIBLE. No other
single source of informaiton
can put us up to date better on
the current issues of church
and state. The answers to all
the theological questions that
have been, are, or will be in
the church are located in the
Bible. Remember also that
the answers to daily and
personal questions are there.
Read the Bible.
A second guideline is based
on Proverbs 14:15. "The
naive believes everything, but
the prudent man considers his
steps." (NASB) To put this
in other words, SELECT out-
side reading material CARE-
FULLY. Not everything that
has a Bible text, and EGW
quote, or SDA written in some
prominent place is worth
spending time on. There is
more material around than
any of us can read in several
lifetimes, so we must select
carefully. Here are a few
questions to ask of any publi-
cation:
1) In what spirit is the
publication written? (critical,
informative, concern, etc.)
2) Does it follow the guide-
lines set up in Phillipians 4:8?
Someone has estimated that (Genesis 37-50) and see if you
1 the life of Joseph there ;
I more than 100 parallels to the
I life of Christ. Can you help
DIRECTIONS find them?Read
Ithrough the life of Joseph
can locate some parallels bet-
ween Joseph and Christ. Send
them to DIRECTIONS, c/o
ACCENT, by Friday, October
23.
(Whatever is true, honorable,
right, pure, lovely, of good
repute.)
3) If it is of a critical nature,
does the criticism tend to
rebuild or tear down?
4) How are others respond-
ing to it in their words and by
their actions?
Though not at the top of the
list, this is of importance.
Select your material care-
fully.
Another guideline is that we
should BE TOLERANT with
those who may hold a view
different from ours. This
doesn't mean that we should

Dr. William Shea, associate
professor of Old Testament at
the Seventh-day Adventist

Dr. Shea was awarded his

agree or give in to what they
say, but we must remember
two things:
1) They may be at a differ-
ent level of development than
2) It is possible to disagree
without being disagreeable.
It is also important to BE
OBJECTIVE. When the doc-
trines of the church are put to
the test, we must not hide our
heads or close our eyes hoping
that the challenges will go
away. As did the Bereans
with Paul's "new" message,
let us search the scriptures
daily whether these things are
so. Acts 17:11.
A fifth guideline is to CON-
TINUE TO STUDY for oursel-
ves. No belief or doctrine
should be solely based upon
what others think or are
saying. "Study to shew
theyself approved unto God."
We, and no one else, are
responsible for the salvation of
our souls. Continue to study.
Finally. ASK the Holy Spirit
for guidance. "God can teach
you more in one moment by
His Holy Spirit than you could
learn from the great men of
the earth." TM 119.

South sea islands
welcome
orchestra's tour
On May 3, 198]. after
months of car washes, benefit
films, letter writing campaigns
and personal contributions,
the members of the Southern
Missionary College Symphony
Orchestra strapped into the jet
airliner that would rush them
to Oahu Island, Hawaii, for
the first stop of their record-
breaking, month-long tour of
the South Sea Islands.
Five standing ovations for
their first concert effort in
Oahu rewarded in advance the
grinding schedule of concert
dates and rehearsals that lay
before them. Of course, the
Hawaiian Luau held in their
honor didn't discourage them
much, either. Hula skirts,
native food, leis for everyone,
and traditional Hawaiian
dancing occupied the eve-
ning's birth of memories.
Sydney, Australia, prom-
ised more excitement for
SMC's orchestra as they con-
tinued their concert tour in the
world's smallest continent. A
harbor tour of the city includ-
ed a stop at the Sydney Opera
House, internationally known
as an architectural wonder.
The structure, outside re-
sembling huge scallop shells
closed over the roof, still
regularly wins architectural
prizes after twelve years of
existence. Indeed, some Aus-
tralians feel one hasn't visited
Australia until one sees the
Sydney Opera House.
The Sydney zoo quickly
became a favorite with the
help of Koala bears, wombats,
kangaroos, wallabies, duck-
billed platypuses, and other
native attractions. 1 under-
stand Phil Gilbert was mistak-
en for a Koala bear by one of
the native girls. 1 don't know
what that means either; you'll
have to ask him.
Scheduled to perform only
one concert at Sydney, the
orchestra shook off exhaus-
tion, jet lag and inconvenience
to play upon request two full
two-hour concerts in one eve-
ning to enthusuastic recep-
Next stop in Australia.
Avondale Adventist College,
reigns as the origin of many
opinions in our church. Oh,
back to the orchestra . . .At
Avondale College in Cooran-
bong, they performed for an
audience of over 1300 people,
mostly students. In Brisbane
the orchestra had the oppor-
tunity to entertain in one of
the city's most beautiful con-
cert halls.
While in Brisbane, a visit to
the world's largest water slide
permanently erased any mem-
ories of Raccoon Mountain.
Canberra, the capital of Aus-
tralia, offered still more sight-
seeing adventures, including
the American embassy.
In Melborne the SMC or-
chestra again went first class,
playing in the brand new
concert hall which was re-
cently buih for (he Melbourne
Symphony Orchestra.
Expecting quiet, reserved
audiences in New Zealand, the
orchestra faced an uncharac-
teristically appreciative recep-
tion. Their audience shouted,
yelled and clapped, bringing
them back for several encores.
For the flight into Aukland,
New Zealand, the orchestra
had to separate and travel in
two planes. No plane was
large enough to transport the
70 plus members as well as all
their equipment. Dr. Orlo
Gilbert, symphony conductor,
left on the earlier flight which
arrived in plenty of time for
the 7:30 concert. However, at
7:15, when the other flight had
still not arrived, the reassur-
ance of the public relations
man, "Don't worry; nobody
starts on lime in this coun-
try" refused to calm Dr.
Gilbert's fears. The other half
of the orchestra arrived at
approximately 7:28, and the
performance went on as sched-
uled. Well done. Dr. Gilbert!
The tropical delights of the
Fiji Islands met the orchestra
immediately as the Seventh-
day Adventist pastor greeted
them in a traditional island
skirt. While sightseeing and
splashing in the surf on Fiji's
beautiful beaches, the orches-
tra stayed at Fulton College
where classes were cancelled
for their visit. (SMC take note
of proper hospitality to musi-
cal performers. I understand
the orchestra will play their
home concert on . . .) The
orchestra members stayed in
the dormitories at Fulton, and
by the night of their concert,
they were well acquainted
with the students. Their
top-flight performance subse- ^^
quently "brought the house '
down," ;
the highlights of the trip.
During intermission, the or-
chestra enjoyed various island
cultural dances, sword twirl-
ing, knife throwing and fire
baton acts. Each member
received a handwoven palm
branch hat as a gift.
After an emotional parting
from Fulton College the or-
chestra anticipated their last
scheduled performance at
Suva, where they were housed
by the top government offi-
cials and ambassadors of the
/
\
country. Expecting only a
small audience for the the
concert, the orchestra played
before a packed house; more
people than attended had to
be turned away. As in Hawaii,
each member received a lei at
the reception following their
con.crt. The orchestra was
highly received; expressions
of thanks, cordiality and
friendliness surrounded them.
The Fijians hugged them and
would not let them go.
Ambassador Bodde of the
Fiji Islands told Dr. GilW"
that the appearance 01

Australia. The orchestra tra-
velled a total of thirty to forty
thousand miles.
Symphony conductor Dr.
Orlo Gilbert has won increas-
ing acclaim not only in Adven-
tist circles, but among profes-
sional musicians as well.
Other featured performing
artists of the SMC Orchestra
included;
J. Bruce Ashton, pianist,
who has beena professor of
music at SMC since 1968;
Jenine Fryling. violinist, cur-
rently majoring in violin and
piano music education at

Zobler interviews potential dieticians
Dr. Kathleen Zobler, the
first Seventh-day Adventist to
become an officer of the
American Dietetics Associa-
tion, spoke with interested
SMC students September 14
and 15 about food-related
careers. Dr. Zobler was in
Collegedale to interview stu-
dents for the Loma Linda
University School of allied
Health Professions in Loma
Linda, California.
Dr. Zobler is Director of
Dietetics Education at Loma
Linda and has been actively
involved for the past 14 years
with the 42.500-member ADA.
She was recently elected pre-
sident of the association and
will take office in September
of 1982.
Dr. Zobler sees a good
future for dieticians, especial-
ly within the SDA church.
"Dietetics is a growing field,"
she said, "and is related to
one of tlie church's main
thrustS"the medical field."
Zobler pointed out that the
demand for dieticians in Ad-
ventist hospitals and institu-
tions has already outstripped
the supply,
Dr. Zobler also talked about
the direction she plans to lead
the ADA. the licensing board
for dieticians. "We are anx-
ious to improve the standards
of dietetics education and
practice." Dr. Zobler said.
"The ADA also plans to
become more active in legisla-
tion concerning national nutri-
tional policy and consumer
education," she added.
When asked to comment on
cutbacks in the School Lunch
Program, which affects the
nutrition of millions of Ameri-
can children. Dr. Zobler re-
plied, "Of course the budget
cuts will affect the school
lunch program. But this is a
time of budget austerity, and
this program is no exception to

Biology trail cleared
Have you ever looked at the
beautiful countryside around
your school and longed to be
'lut in the middle of it. to enjoy
Ihe beauty and peacefulness
of nature? If so. you may have
wondered. "How can 1 get up
10 that mountain top without
clawing through briars and
beating off yellow jackets to do
"'" Or. you may have
thought. ■■Yeah, I'd love to
^cc a baby rabbit, or a
bubbling brook, but I'm not
about to don combat boots and
a backpack to see one!"
The solution to your prob-
lem is the Biology Trail, which
IS owned by the College and
maintained by the Biology
Department. For the past
three weeks, a crew of six
have been blistering their
hands and breaking their
backs while clearing and re-
pairing the trail after the
summer's neglect and inces-
sant plant growth. The trails,
which wind through miles of
beautifully wooded areas are
ready for you hikers
are these trails? The main trail
starts just behind Hackman
Hall, off Industrial Rd. From
that main trail you will find a
bewildering array of other
secondary paths branching
off.
Trail improvement contin-
ues along with plans for signs
indicating the trail's name,
distance, elevation and destin-
ations. A brochure with a map
is being planned which will
correspond with these signs to
help vou pick the right trail.
For you horse lovers, there
are a couple of trails for riding
also. These have been grown
over for some time, but not
anymore. All the trails
clear and
enjoyment.
What an excellent way to
get out in God's nature,
especially on a beautiful Sab-
bath afternoon. Don't let the
name '■Biology Trail" scare
you off; you don't need a
degree to have a pleasant walk
with a friend. So the next time

Southern cynic
by Steve Dickerhoff J
I guess most of you know
what they say about women,
"You can't live with them and
you can't live without them."
Personally, I happen to
think that women are all right.
They keep their hair combed;
they wear perfume, and they
change their bed sheets more
than once a semester. But
lately, I have gotten a little
upset about all the uproar over
the Equal Rights stuff. Sure, I
think women are people, but
they are objects none-the-less.
Why can't they just accept
their function in society?
I don't see why alt these
girls are belly-aching. They
have it made. They don't have
to worry about grades; all they
have to worry about is snag-
ging a pre-med. Their biggest
challenge during the day is
squeezing into their designer
jeans.
There are just two places a
women should be: one is in the
khchen, and the other one
they wouldn't let me print.
Some people may say that I'm
a chauvinist. On the contrary,
I plan to give my wife every-
thing that she has ever wanted
"Ne\Arepapers
are the world's
mirrors."

What is your opinion of SMC's Student
Association?
Suzanne Davis; sophomore: computer science: Charlotte. NC: I
thinlt this year's SA is doing a very fine job. The "Big Bash"
was definitely a smash and the ice cream sundaes were
absolutely divine. (I was paid good money to say this.)
Ken Rozell:freshman:Business and Journalism, CoUegedale,
TN: What the SA has done so far has been good. They have an
adequate-sized budget so hopefully the officers will plan lots of
excellent entertainment and programs.
Khonda Hallock:junior:medical secretary:Blackstop,SC:l think
•he paper's better this year; the SA president is the best we've
<!»er had and he's friendly, and the programs are well-planned.
Oennis Dodd:sopkomore:husiness managemenl:Powell. V/Y--
"" fhings I've seen them do here have been pretty organized
and interesting, but frankly I haven't seen them do that much.
'^•^'h Fillman:senior:nursing:Belhlehem. PA: So far things
'ook good. I hop;, tijjj yj3^ ,1,5 students in Orlando will be
Jf Agnized by the SA. Last year we (Orlando) never heard from
or needed: a stove, a vacuum
cleaner, and a washer.
I have this theory that God
created women just to show us
guys how lucky we are and to
give men something to do
before football came along.
But really, I think women
perform a great service for
men. Have you ever thought
of the consequences if men
were the ones who had the
babies? Just think of a man
going into labor on Sunday
afternoon, or even worse
Monday. There goes the
game. Unless, of course, they
can bring a TV into the
delivery room.
Women won't admit it, but
they love their role as the
weaker sex. They are just like
dogs: pat them on the head
once in awhile and they'll love
you till the day they die.
Reminds me of my last date . .
.it was about six years ago.
She kept wanting me to open
all the doors for her. Well,
what did she think I was, her
slave or something?
By the way, I happen to be
free this weekend, so if any
girl wants to be blessed with
the presence of a man, the
number's 4694.
Students published
Two short stories written in
Dr. Wilma McClarty's College
Composition class last school
year have "been accepted for
publication. Kevin Siver's
story "Too Late" will appear
in the September 26 issue of
Guide under a new title "I
Haven't Told You . . ." Kevin,
a senior chemistry major,
wrote the story out of a true
parental death experience in
his family.
Dennis Schreiner, a current
sophomore theology major,
wrote his story "Fighting for
Jesus" using a satiric ending
to give its theme punch.
Although the story captures a
childhood experience, the
maturity of the theme makes it
more appropriate to adults
than to children. Consequent-
ly, it has been accepted for
publication by the Adventist
Both stories were winners in
the English Department's
Dennis Scfirelncr hm
by the R«vl*w.
annual writing contest. Said
one editor of these two stories,
"Dennis and Kevin have both
come up with excellent short
stories. I like the tremendous
satire in "Fighting for Jesus'
and appreciate the pathos of
'Too Late,' I heartily congrat-
■n artlcl* aooaplad for puMlcalfon
ulate them . . ."
Dr. McCIarty also reports
that at least a dozen other
composition students had let-
ters-to-the-editor published in
a variety of magazines, rang-
ing from secular Glamour to
the religious Insight.

" The Weniger Medallion,
ppresented Dr. Knittel at
■^Andrews University on Sep-
tember 16. has been presen-
ted to outstanding church
leaders since 1974.
The medallion is a memorial
3 Dr. Charles Weniger, Dean
of the Seminary from 1946 to
During most of those
years he taught Homiletics,
influencing preaching in
SDA church as much, if not
more, than any single person
According to Dr. W
Beaven, a member of the
Weniger Medallion presenta
committee and the pre
ter of. Dr. Knittel's award
as largely Dr. Weniger's
drive that is the reason for the
church's seminary today.
When Dr. Weniger died of
cancer in the early 60's, a
group of his former colleagues
and students established the
Weniger Medallion. The
medallion is a bust of this
theological educator and pio-
neer, and is presented to those
who show the same spirit in
their work as he did.
Dr. Beaven explained that
there were three reasons why
Dr. Knittel was picked as the
recipient of this year's award.
First, Knittel has excelled
as a teacher. "One of the best
teachers alive," was the way
Dr. Beaven expressed it.
Second, the medallion's
new owner has been President
and Dean of SMC for many
years-a college that, up until
this year, has experienced un-
equaled growth.
Finally. Dr. Knittel as a
person is remarkable. "I was
thrilled for him to have been
selected to receive this most
coveted award, ' ' the Presi-
dent's secretary, Jeanne
Davis, exclaims. "Truly he is
a man for all seasons!"
Kenneth Blanton, Assistant
Vice-President of Student
Affairs at Andrew's Univer-
sity, was at the colloquium
when Knittel recieved his
award and reports that the
President Knittel, recipient of the Weniger Medallion, pauses from a busy s
recipient was "speechless- The second of this year's
which is unusual lur him." iwu rccipieiils was Dr. David
Elder Zackrison, Religion Lin, President of the China
professor and personal friend Division when the Com-
of Dr. Knittel, stated that he munists took over. Dr. Lin has
felt the award was well just recently been released
deserved. "There is nobody I from prison after spending 26
know who deserves it more," years in confinement.
Zackrison commented. Unable to leave the country.
Dr. Lin accepted the award
through his son in a ceremony
held in California.
Presentation committee
members feel the spirit of Dr.
Charles Weniger lives on in
lives of men like Dr. David Lin
and Dr. Frank Knittel.
future uncertain
Publications examined
Rumors concerning two Ad-
ventist youth publications, In-
sight and College People,
have been varied throughout
the country.
After numerous committee
meetings, the future for these
magazines still looks uncer-
tain, but at least some deci-
sions have been made.
Insight, targeted mainly at
juniors and seniors in acade-
my, and freshmen and sopho-
mores in college, will be
continuing as a separate pub-
lication published by the Re-
view and Herald publishing
association. The recent ru-
mors about Insight's being
included with the new acade-
my lesson quarterly, Comer-
stone Connections, beginning
in January, 1982. are "cate-
gorically untrue" according to
Dan Fahrbach, currently
serving as managing editor of
Insight. .
Fahrbach felt that "Insight
has been crippled by rumors
about its questionalbe fu-
ture." He mentioned Umon
College and the College Peo-
ple staff as plausible sources
for many of the rumors.
College Poeple is a new inter-
collegiate publication financed
by Union College Youth minis-
"We definitely see oursel-
ves moving into that void
created by Insight's being
directed to academy audi-
ences." Doug Morgan, editor
of College People, stated in a
telephone interview. "I don't
think the magazine (College
People) would have been
started" without awareness of
the future plans of Insight.
Larry McGill. Union College
chaplain, explained that the
impetus for College People
began back in November of
1981, whereas Insight's future
was discussed in committee in
March. 1981.
McGill said that across
North America, college pre-
sidents, chaplains. Union
youth directors and the Ad-
ventist Intercollegiate Associ-
ation as groups all voted that
3f public
college age young adults was
needed. Insight attempted to
reach too large an audience,
seemed to be the general
opinion.
Indeed, on March 19, 1981,
at a committee meeting held
in Washington. D.C.. the deci-
sion was made that Insight
would include the new quar-
terly, Cornerstone Connec-
tions, and be targeted to
grades 9 through 12.
On Tuesday. September 22,
however, another committee
decision ensured Insight's
continuing as a separate pub-
lication; in the words of Fahr-
beach, "Insight is carrying on
as it has for the last 11 years."
Elder Les Pitton, youth
director for the North Ameri-
can Division, indicated that
the main controversy of the
September, 1981 committee
meeting centered around who
would finance Insight if if ,.

discussion and controversy with their personal lives. Friend-

Dear Editor:
1 just spent a very, amused
moment reading last week's
"Southern Cynic" article. It
seems there's a gentleman on
campus; yes, Steve Dicker-
hoff, I mean you) who has a
slightly out-dated opinion of comfort when
women. I wouldn't say he's discouraged
chauvanistic, exactly. He's
just a little confused.
Of course women belong in
the kitchen and the other place
he insinuated (without a head-
ache, 1 presume?). Women
are great in those places, and
men probably wouldn't care to
go through life without them
there.
But women are great in
other areas as well. There are
many competent female doc-
tors, judges, administrators,
ad infinitum. Women are
equally intelligent and equally
talented to men. Their strug-
gle for equal pay and equal
recognition seems fair to me.
Women DO love their role
as the weaker sex. Nothing is
more flattering than being
pursued, being treated special
and being complimented. A
woman's need for affection is
great. She bases a
portion of her self-est
the amount of affecti
receives.
Yet 1 doubt if a pat on the
head is sufficient. In fact.
unless she gets a lot of verbal
as well as physical affection,
she most likely WON'T love

and financial support. No
doubt he wouldn't make it if

were created to show men how
lucky they are and to give
them something to do before his wife were a dim-witted,

forget that women also bring Woman h,

organization, and beauty. "A

As a balancing addendum
to. and not an attack on, the
generally fine article entitled
"Directions," I would like to
stress that there are many
important, appropriate occas-
ions for destructive criticism,
biting sarcasm, and lamenta-
tion-especially directed to our
very own societies and reli-
gious establishments, as well
as those of others.
On Mt. Carmel Elijah
hooted "Baal is a god, right?
Yell louder;maybe he'll wake

To the Editor of the Accent:
i he SMC campus has been
the recipient of some shrill
carping lately, not from the
Accent fortunately, but from
various other publications
such as the Collegedale Tid-
ings and miscellaneous letters
distributed to college students
and the general public.
In these publications seve-
ral members of the theology
department have been ac-
cused of heresy and conduct
inconsistent with Christian
behavior. I know that many of
(he charges are false-state-
ments taken out of context and
gravely distorted, either
through ignorance or malice.
This group of religion tea-
chers have dedicated their
lives to the preaching and
teaching ministry. They have
spent years in Bible study and
in the training of young mini-
sters. Their labors have been
blessed as year after year
eager young workers are
added to God's remnant
church. My three sons have
sat in their classes and grown
spiritually from the exper-
against and reform the sup-
posedly Bible-based systems
into which they were bom.
Rabbi Jesus is famous for
the vile language ("white-
washed death houses,"
"snakes," "hypocrites,"
' ' oppressors, ' ' ' 'unwashed
dishes," "blind guides," and
so on) which he effec/vely
used on his opponents within
the religious establishment

Martin Luther attached a

The Collegedale Tidings
front-paged a number of ques-
tions; I'd like to ask a few of
my own. Who are the
accusers—these people whose
names are signed to the letters
and communiques? How many
years of study have they
devoted to the Bible? How
many evangelistic meetings
have they held? How many
souls have they led to Christ?
In what ways have they proved
their positive and material
contribution to the furtherance
of the Lord's work? In what
ways have they demonstrated
conduct consistant with
Christ's teaching? "By their
fruits ye shall know them."
By this time a great many
people will have heard the
complaint, people who are
required by their offices to
investigate the charges, peo-
ple who are empowered to
bring about any needed
change.
And if none of these will
hear or act? Then one might
begin to wonder about the
validity of his course. Cer-
tainly, one could be assured
that he had done everything
required of him to make his
cause known in a proper way.
The burden is no longer his; it
is the Lord's and the Lord will
deal with the problem in His
But, instead, to spread
these seditious publications
far and wide, to confuse
readers who are ignorant of
the issues and who have no
way of learning the "other
side", to assassinate the cha-
racters of professional men
who would not nor can not
retaliate with a rebuttal pub-
lication-! wonder what the
accusers will answer when the
Lord asks, "What were you
doing for my flock in Septem-
ber 1981?"
I grieve for our theology

those who have set themselves
up against them in this way.

Dear Editor:
As the former instructor of
the course Women and Poli-
fical Issues, I wish to disclaim
any connection between Mr.
Dickerhoff s redneck remarks
about women in the Septem-
ber 24 Accent and the philo-
sophy and ideas he allegedly
learned in that course.
Frankly, I was shocked by
the article "Southern Cynic."
If it is meant as a satire, it is in
very poor taste. If Steve really
meant what he said, I hope
many Thathcer residents will
call him up and give him their
frank comments on his social
prejudices.
The ancient Greek
etymology for cynic means
"Dog-like" from Kyon or dog.
Certainly Mr. Dickerhoffs
ideals for women place them
in the doghouse socially and
intellectually. From a state-
ment he made to me last
Wednesday, he fully expects
to be spending some time
there himself, but, as he said,
"It is really worth it." Is it
Cynics believe that people
are motivated in all their
actions entirely by selfishness.
Is that your creed? If so, you
may want to re-evaluate your
committment to Christianity,
for how can any man treat a
being created in the image of
God as an animal; for as Steve
writes, "they are like dogs:
pat them on the head once in
awhile and they'll love you 'til
the day they die."
Archie Bunker can get
laughs on gangs like that, but

Dear Editor:
At this time I would like to
take a moment of silence for
the Green Bay Packers. Seems
that they are Coach Jaecks
favorite team and have been
humiliated by three other
teams so far. They could've
beaten the Atlanta Falcons if
they would have quit after 3
quarters. But no, they couldn't
quit while they were ahead
and gave up 31 points in the
4th quarter.
Even our own talented Mike
Burks picked them over the
Minnesota Vikings. Mike
should know that Minnesota is
going to win the NFC Central
again, but, no, he will learn by
his mistakes.
In closing, I would like to
congratulate Jaecks on his
deviation. Not many people
would stick with a team that
stinks so bad. I can imagine
the rebuttal 1 will receive next
week. As always,

In most any Bible book store
you can find a half-dozen or so
books on how to study the
Bible or how to have a
successful devotional life. It
seems that everyone is trying
J help the world understand
the Bible more. SMC has even
added a course designed to aid
the searching Bible student.
Up until now little, if any,
literature has been published
help people make a wreck of
their devotional life, but DI-
RECTIONS now introduces
some of the first. If you will
follow the eight guidelines
below, I can assure you that
your devotional life will be a
disaster.
Procrastionation
is point is where those
who have productive devotion-
al habits show their lack of
creativity. It seems that they
an never think of an excuse
jr not having worship. Here
; one method that might get
hem thinking, I call it the
Round-Robin Approach."
Vhen you get up in the
lorning say to yourself, "I'm
ui tired and wouldn't get a
kssing if 1 try to read. I'll
ave it this evening before I go
■ bed." (After all. does it
L-ally matter when you have
nrship?) When bedtime rolls

j\. "It's too late to have
worship now, I'll have it
iinmrrow morning." Keep it
ip. it works every time.
■Is the 'Spirit ' Moves
One of the most disgusting
liiiigs about Bible students is
ii'jir systematic study of the
'^riptures. They plan days,
to it! To me this inhibits the
Lord and the Holy Spirit. I
mean, can't they show you
what to read on a certain day?
My suggestion is the "Flip-n-
Point Method." It works like
this: First, close your eyes.
Then flip through your Bible,
allowing in to open in a
random manner. Finally, point
to a text. If you land on two
texts pick a) the shortest of the
two. or b) the one that will
cause the least mental think-
ing. If however, you feel you
must plan your study, at least
begin with such chapters as 1
Chronicles MO; Ezra 2. Ne-
hemiah 7, or Daniel 11. What-
ever you do, don't begin with
the gospels of Mark or John.
Those are only for the simple
minded.
Do it on your Own
Though some would disagree,
there really isn't any need to
ask the Holy Spirit to help you
in understanding the Bible.
God gave us minds and He
expects us to use them. If He
wanted you to be able to
understand all of the Bible, He
would have made sure it was
written more clearly. Besides,
it is unrealistic to think that
YOU could receive supernatu-
ral help. God is close, but not
that close.
Directions
self-fulfilling prophecy and
see- how your accuracy in-
creases in proportion to these
powerful negative thoughts.
W Minutes or Less
This guideline will assure
that you never have time to
get excited about what you are
reading in the Bible. If you
have an 8:00 class, plan your
worship for 7:40. This gives
you just enough time for the
"Flip-n-Point" method (see
above), and will even allow a
few seconds for prayer before
dashing off to class. This is
good for the legalist who feels
that he must have some sort of
worship before beginning the
day.
Don 't Appear Stupid
It is only the dumb people
who ask questions. If you have
some question about the Bi-
ble, DON'T ASK ANYONE
ABOUT IT! There is a great
danger on a Christian campus
that everyone will think you
are ignorant of the Scriptures
or too lazy to find the answer

Time Out
Hawaiian flagbail teams
have been chosen and the
exciting SMC football season
commences on Monday. The
A league teams look pretty
close and here is a rundown of
them:
Arellano: good mbtture of
speed and hands. Look for
quick passes and pitch outs,
Durby: This team has more
speed than most, but might
be hurt by its lack of a good
foot-
Natie: This should be
basketball team, not
ball squad. It does have a
couple of speedsters.
Jaecks: Probably the slow-
est team. This club has an
awful lot of talent. The
slowness could hurt.
O'Brien: Look for one style
of play. If this team can
connect on its passes, it will
decimate the league.
Pro forecast
by Mike Burks
As Hank Stram said on
National Radio last Monday
night, "so far this season has
been totally unpredictable."
I'll have to go along with that
as the underdogs won at least
six of the fourteen games last
weekend. Going 8 and 6 for
the weekend brings my total to
33 and 23 so far. Things have
got to improve.
With the Falcons failing to
find their usual favor with the
officials, they fell from the
ranks of the undefeated. The
same holds true for the San
Diego Chargers. Craig Morton
had a party at San Diego's
expense throwing (he ball for
306 yards (17 of 18). Thai

Itive that a secret plan for the
llittle house was in the making.
■ Last night. I got the real story
I from some of my trusted
■ friends in Wright Hall.
1 "The dorm has gotten a
llittle full lately," said one of
I the deans in a hushed voice,
that we make this
place the new guest house,
and call it 'Visitor's Village.' It
will be especially handy dur-
ing Alumni homecoming."
"I don't know," whispered
a teacher. "Since it used to
house students, I think we
should set it up again for the
seniors who need practice
getting out on their own and
managing their own home.
They have to leave the dorm
some time, you know."
Another man spoke up. I
didn't recognize him, since
he'd obviously never been on
campus before. "Some of you
may not know me, so let me
just introduce myself as a
representative from the phone
company down here. Now,
we've had our eyes on this
little place for quite a while
and would be happy to pur-
chase it from you. We'd like to
condense our mulit-million
dollar racket into the small-
town, friendly service it was
originally intended to be, and
we think this would be the
ideal location for our opera-
tion, since we'd be so easy to
reach there." This was the
first idea I thought was worth
considering.
About this time, one of the
campus security officers lean-
ed forward. "Personally, we
down in Security would like to
use the little place to store
things in-things like illegally
parked cars that we've towed
' A'ay. There's been quite a
few lately, and the guest
rooms in Thatcher are getting
harder and harder to reach.
Besides, as our dear sister
said, the rooms are filling
up." He started to motion
toward the dean but to every-
one's surprise she had left.
unnoticed.
Since 1 was the only student
present, 1 felt it was time I did
my part for my fellow class-
mates. I raised my hand.
"Friends," I began, "let us
not forget that this campus is
for the students. We are
paying for the very best in
everything here. What I
believe this school needs is a
nice, classy jeans shop."
Noting the sudden menac-
ing looks on the faces of those
around me, I hurriedly added,
"You could leave a space on
the shelves where the blue
ones should be, and just call it
'The Gap' or something."
With relief I noted that the
smiles had returned and were,
in fact, getting bigger.
"Not a bad idea," said the
security officer. "But folks, it
is almost midnight, and I
really need to go out and check
on everything.." Just then,
another teacher came rushing
into the room.
"Guess whati" he an-
nounced breathlessly. "Not
that it really matters right
now, but SOMEONE JUST
STOLE THE LITTLE HOUSE
OUT BACKI"
It figures.

Saturday night, September
1 26, offered the student body
I two films for a variety of
I entertainment.
The earliest of the two
[started at 8:00 p.m. in the
I Thatcher Hall worship room.
I It was the first in a series of
humanities films coordinated
I by professor Brian Strayer of
I the History Department. The
I title, "How Green Was My
I Valley" perfectly fitted this
I moving film about life in a
mid-I9th century Welsh min-
I ing town.
The second film option was

I about two kids trying to get
I away from their boring grand-
I father who team up with two
I "oolts trying to get out of their
I debts, was coordinated by Mr.
Evans, the director of food
services.
Even though the humanities

"8 all the factors involved,
'Jje attendance was good." He
, ^'50 stated that the next film
I ^r.,}^^ humanities series,
" Cromwell," will pro-
dance.
The Walt Disney film was
not lacking in attendance. The
pizza, soda, and ice cream that
were available created long
lines. The cafeteria, filled to
capacity, gathered every chair
from nearby rooms. Many
people were still forced to
stand in the back. An unplan-
ned second showing was made
available. The film brought
very positive response, ev£
though there was a fifteen
minute delay caused by a
broken plug connection. Bill
Shelton, a junior pre-dental
student said, "I thought it
a little crowded, but it
great!"
Evans, when asked how he
deemed the attendance said,
"Excellent." He added that it
was the best attendance he
had seen since the cafeteria
sponsorship of movies began
last year. Six more such
movies are scheduled for this
school year.
Some questions were raised
about competition between
the humanities film and the
Walt Disney film, but Dean
Schlisner. who helped with the
scheduling said. "There was
no conflict intended." He
ftirther commented that the
two events at the same time
were just to give an option to
the students.
Whatever the case, both
films were enjoyed by their
audiences, and more of each
kind are promised for the
future.
Destiny, the Christian dra-
ma group sponsored by Cam-
pus Ministries, is ready to
hold its auditions for the fall
semester.
The drama group has a new
director this year, Alan Mc-
Rae. Mr. McRae is a native of
Ocala, Florida and a former
student of SMC.
Approximately fifteen ac-
tors and actresses will be
chosen to participate in the
group this semester.
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 to the
imagination of the viewer.
This allows the audience to
participate in the play in a
special way.
During the 1980-81 school
year, Destiny was able to
travel to most of the acade-
mies in the Southern Union
and performed at many of the
local churches as well.
The group hopes to again
visit the academies, and hope-
fully, increase the number of
churches it performs for.
This is an interesting oppor-
tunity for having a Christian
witness through developing
and using your acting abili-
ties. If you would like to have a
part in this special ministry,
please take note of the audi-
tion schedule below and be
sure to come. All are welcome
to audition.
Auditions are set for Octo-
ber 6, 8 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
in the Student Center Cube
Room. PLEASE NOTE: Those
whose last name begins with
letters A-I will audition on
October 6. Those with last

debate goes deeper than In-
sight's future and touches the
concept of how much individ-
ual authority does the North
American Division have as
opposed to the R & H publish-
ing association, owned and
operated by the General Con-
ference. Which department
would finance any possible
failure of Insight?
PItton also revealed that
Insight's circulation, between
31,000 and 32,000 last year,
has never equaled that of Its
predecessor, the Youth's In-
structor.
"Insight is staggering,"
PItton admitted. Dan Fahr-
bach, who as yet doesn't
have an official title although
acting as managing editor, has
only a secretary to assist him
In producing future _edltions
of Insight at present. With
only two staff members on the
pay roll, Fahrbach under-
standably feels defensive
about the uncertainty of In-
sight.
Donald John, former editor
of Insight, left a few weeks
ago to pastor a church in
Oxford, England, where he is
currently working on a doctor-
al degree.
Elder PItton quickly pointed
out that although Insight's
circulation remains danger-
ously close to the necessary
30,000 subscriptions, most if
not all SDA publications are
heavily subsidized by the
church, not just Insight.
College People plans to
accept advertising, both secu-
lar and denominational, to
help defray some of its expen-
ses. Traditionally, SDA pub-
lications have turned down
non-denominational advertis-
As of Tuesday, September
22, the Youth Ministry Curric-
ulum and Resource Commit-
tee's recommendation to the
North American Division re-
garding Insight has been ac-
cepted. It was decided that too
hasty a decision had been
made in March regarding
Cornerstom Connections and
Insight targeted to academies,
and Insight now has the
support of the Youth Minis-
tries and the Review and
Herald publishing association.
College People will continue
as well on an experimental
basis, with future plans to
branch out to secular cam-
puses and ultimately offer
competition for Campus Life
Magazine and other non-SDA
Christian publications for col-
leglates. Elder PItton sees

undoubtedly in competition as
well.

SMC tightens financial belt
by Tom Hunter
Campus-wide budget cuts
are in order for Southern
Missionary College following
a decision reached by the
College Board of Trustees.
The Board decided that SMC
needs to cut the budget by at
least another $150,000 for this
year. The decision was reach-
ed following examinaJi.Q^n of
the college's projected budget
for this year.
The projected budget put
out last year was based on a
group decision that enrollment
would experience a decrease

things still do happen on time,

night. October 3, 1981, un-
't^iled the delightful new
^fiack bar in SMC's Student
■^tnter. Avocado dip and
^hips, strawberry froghurt,
^t(imboli--just a few of the
"delicacies" offered at our
•delicatessen.
Eider K. R. Davis, the
coordinator, shared the main
purpose of the new snack bar:
"e see the snack bar as a
^wial retreat to bring together
^ lot of the students who
perhaps have no other place to
go. and to provide a social
environment where friends
'^an meet."
Including a bar complete

of about 30 students. This
figure was drastically miscal-
culated and the actual enroll-
ment of over 250 students less
than last year resulted in the
loss of over a million dollars in
revenue for the college.
Several proposals for the
reduction of spending are
under scrutiny at this time,
including the termination of
some college staff. Business
Manager Richard Reiner was
hesitant to give specific areas
of cut-backs as the proposals
had yet to be discussed by an
Internal Review committee.
He did relate several facts
of interest, however, which he
feels will be incorporated into
the future plans of the college.
Ultimately, economizing can
recover most of the loss.
Though the academic pro-
gram will remain stable at
SMC. the smaller elective
classes will be closely examin-
ed and are prime candidates
for the budget axe next year.
There will also be this year
the basic reductions of spend-
ing in travel, and students will
be sought to fill positions
currently filled by adults in the
community.
Though basic services to the
students will continue, a pos-
sibility for savings was cited
as being the elimination of
student insurance coverage
for next year.
Reiner also feels that there
is substantial room for savings
in the area of energy conser-
vation. Presently, TVA is con-
ducting a survey on campus
which could result in a 5
per cent decrease in the utility
expenses of the college. This
will be a substantial amount as
the utility bills have been
running over $600,000 per
year, and the proposed reduc-
tions will amount to about
$25,000.
Reiner feels these steps for
future-as well as present-
cut-backs are necessary as the
budget problem is not going to
go away.
He speculated that there
will be a low enrollment again
next year, the main reasons
being the reduction in federal
aid to students, lower num-
bers of academy seniors this
year, a generally smaller num-
ber of 18-year-olds in America
and the ever present possi-
bility of a military draft. These
factors indicate that enroll-
ments will remain stable or
continue to drop until 1986.
As a result of the financial
state of the college, the Com-
munications building, pre-
sently under construction and
slated for completion in 12 to
18 months, will not likely be
completed for two to three
The possibility for future
tuition increases is present as
Southern Missionary College
presently has the lowest cost
per credit hour of all Adventist
institutions. If tuition were to
go up, it would be comparable
to other similar colleges.
Outside of the dismissal of
some staff members and over-
all expense control, Reiner
feels that a mere "shifting of
resources" will be sufficient to
get the college through the
year. He also made it a special
point that no student will lose
his or her job. "Departments
cannot cut staff to please us by
cutting student labor," he
maintained.

I question the spirit of those who grunt when they must share

really the animal here? We're
supposed to be adults now--
remember?
In this time of gradually
advancing women's lib it is
good to recall that one cannot
truly gain equality by being
closed-minded to ideas that
are contrary to one's own. If
the dear residents of Thatcher

1 personally enjoyed Steve's

remembering its literary gen-
re-satire. The only problem
that 1 can see with it is that
perhaps Steve overestimated
the maturity and open-
mindedness of the student
body and certain faculty mem-
bers. For all you children that
hung this man in effigy, called
him at 3 a.m., made snide
remarks about him, or brought
up ignorant references to his
character, it seems obvious
that you are neither prepared

the September 24 issue of the
Accent.
The "Bible Facts Series"
purports to give the exact
numbers of letters, words,
verses, chapters, and books in
the Bible (Old Testament) and
New Testament. Reality ad-
mits no such statistics, not
even in the original lan-
guages, much less in the
hundreds of translations and
paraphrases. In the original
languages (Hebrew and Ara-
maic for the Bible, Greek for
the New Testament) different
manuscripts employ different
spellings and wordings (thus
differing numbers of letters
and words) and delete or add
whole sentences or para-
graphs. For instance, some
Greek manuscripts of the Book
of John contain the story of the
woman who did not get stoned
(with rocks) . nd some don't.
Verse and rhapter numbers
were added during the Middle
Ages and have tiot been
followed consistently in differ-
ent editions and versions.
Even the number of books is
by no means constant. The
Hebrew canon has only 24
books because such pairs (as
they are commonly consid-
ered) as I & H Samuel, I & U\
Kings. I & II Chronicles and
Ezra & Nehemiah are each
considered one book, and
because the twelve minor
prophets all together comprise
one book. The many transla-
tions divide this same material
and rearrange the order of the
books as they very well please,
as well as adding differing
books of the Apocrypha and
New Testament.
The word Jehovah appears
zero (0) times in the Bible.
(Too bad for the Jehovah's
Witnesses!) The word which
does appear is the Hebrew-let-
ter equivalents of YHWH,
which most Hebrew scholars
believe was pronounced Yah-
weh (with the accent on the
last syllable.
Presumably the "Bible
Facts" of the article were
based on the King James
Version, about which one sen-
timental ignoramus said. "If
the King James Bible was
good enough for Saint Paul,
it's good enough for me."
People like this don't realize
that not even Old English was
spoken in the time of Saint

Dear Editor:
I would like to dispute
Professor Brian E. Strayer's
repudiation of Steven Dicker-
hoff's Southern Cynic article
nn the supposed inferiority of
language of the modem ver-
sions corresponds to the lan-
guage usages of our own time.
It is important to realize and
remember that all translations
of the Bible and New Testa-
ment are merely interpreta-
tions of or commentaries on
the books as they were first
written in the languages of
their own times (and which
books in the original lan-
guages exist in several edi-
tions which vary somewhat
from one another). With this
in mind one will avoid absolut-
izing statistics of components
or interpretations of individual
passages.
So it is my opinion that the
King James Version is an
anachronism and that the
"Bible Facts" concerning its
statistical components have no
utility, religious or otherwise,
and are misleading.
R. Harvey Habenicht III
No
dedicated backer of equal
rights than I, but I found Prof.
Strayer's letter hysterically
illogical, wildly nonsensical.
Of course Steve was just
kidding. Anyone who believed
he was being serious is very
mistaken indeed. And those
people who raised such a stink
about the article missed the
main point entirely . . .Mr.
Dickerhoff was writing a satire
about male chauvinistic ego,
and he probably made a few
male macho pigs sit up and
re-evaiuate themselves. Far
from being in "very poor
taste," Mr. Dickerhoffs arti-
cle was a service to SMC. It
escapes me why anybody
couldn't take it as lightly as it
was written.
And I just wonder if Strayer
would hive ignored the whole
thing if some female reporter
had written a satire about
men. Probably then he would
have seen it as a truly amusing
satire.
But what rankled me most
was Strayer's attempted de-
finition of "cynic." Ellen
White and the Bible plainly
state that man, in his normal
sinful state, is an entirely
selfish creature bent upon his
own needs. Only through
God's grace is this image
reversed. This is what Strayer
believes.
Well, let me throw a curve
at you, professor. Tell me,
what is it that makes a joke
funny? Why do you laugh? I'll
tell you . . .it is impossible to
make a joke without doing it at
the expense of someone,
whether he be real or hypo-
thetical. Analyze every joke
you hear and you will see what
I mean. Sometimes the humil-
iation is inverted and done at
one's own expense, as in
Rodney Dangerfield's case,
but the play on superiority is
always there. (Riddles are
funny because there is a pun
to figure out. and the listener
laughs because he finds he is
intelligent enough to figure
out the pun. This can be
proven by asking someone
why pigs can't fiy. When they
give up, tell them it's because
pigs have round hoofs. Imme-
diately the listener will rise to
the defense of his inability to
figure the riddle out by telling
you that you must be out of
your gourd.)
Re-examine every "South-
ern Cynic" article that's ever
come out. They are always
done at someone's expense.
Perhaps this is why Jesus
never made a single joke in
the Bible. Or anyone else, for
that matter.
What are you going to do.
Prof. Strayer? Stop telling
jokes because they aren't
someone down? And while
you're at it. why don't you
start a campaign to remove
something as obviously un-
christian as "Southern Cyn-
ic' ' from the hallowed pages of
the Southern Accent?
Yes, I am a cynic . . .but ii
wasn't until 1 saw the lunacy
of your religion. I would
welcome a same-page reply
from Prof. Strayer.
Dear Editor:
I read over the article
"Southern Cynic" from the
September 24, 1981, issue

Steve's comments, and even
told him so, I can see his
reasoning.

Dear Editor:
Was it just 1 that felt a little
strange in Thatcher Sabbath
School last Sabbath, or were
there others who sensed they
were entering into a double
feature of Romper Room and
the Spanish inquisition?
The singing of "Happy
Birthday" is all very nice and
proper, but I question the idea
of singing it in a Sabbath
School, and even further ques-
tion the singing of it's second
verse ending with applause
J"<i all the hoopla of the
Harvard-Yale game. To me.
'hat isn't proper Sabbath
«»quette.
Aren't we supposed to be in
Sabbath School for more than
just social interaction? Every-
one knows there's enough of
that going on in Sabbath
School anyway. My traditional
views encourage the feeling
that this isn't proper respect
for the worship of God.
I also witnessed another
event in the Sabbath School
that day that goes on in other
churches all across America.
The practice of putting people
on the spot.
Group interaction is the key
element in a Sabbath School
situation, but 1 feel the inter-
action should be voluntary
rather than advocating the use
of draft to get those who don't
want to talk, or those who just
don't care what's going on. up
front. The ones who do know
what's going on get up there
with a know-it-all attitude and
love to show it.
Let's face it. no one likes to
be embarassed and by holding
this sort of Sabbath School
you're just asking for trouble.
I think that future Sabbath
Schools should choose their
program formats more care-
fully. The reason: when the
"amens" are for relief and not
for appreciation and an under-
standing, the Sabbath School
loses much of it's power.

Q0.7 to 90.5
WSMC changes frequency
Don Self, general manager
of WSMC, reports that the
radio station will change its
frequency to 90.5 in October.
He stated that for reception
improveraents in the Chat-
tanooga area it would be
necessary to move from the
present 90.7 location on the
FM band so as to accomadate
transmitter moving in the
future.
Former Chief Engineer
Jerry Mathis had found that it
would be necessary to move
from 90.7 because a station
also on 90.7, near Atlanta,
would be receiving WSMC in
its reception area if the trans-
mitter was moved to a higher
location.
A search for a station will-
ing to change locations on the
FM dial ended when a station
in Carrolton, GA, presently
located on 90,5, agreed to
change places with WSMC,
Self said, "The change will
take place sometime in
October, probably near the
end of the month." He went
on to say that there are other
plans for the moving of the
transmitter, but at the present
time there are no funds.
Reception in Chattanooga
presently varies from poor to
good due to mountain block-
age of the signal.
Outside of the local area,
WSMC has been received as
far north as Knoxville, as far
south as Atlanta and middle
Alabama, as far east as
western North Carolina, and
as far west as Lawrenceburg,

two-hour trip.
The bus drivers had a hard
time negotiating the steep
hills around Lake Arrowhead.

rich wood embraced the walls.
The decorations included
very elegant smoked glass

Sage performs in competition
Dr. Robert Sage, Associate
Professor of Music at SMC,
recently returned from the
Ettore Pozzoli International
piano competition held in
Sergmo-a small town near
Milano, Italy.
Dr. Sage, leaving on the
10th of September, relaxed
lext afternoon in Geneva
with a former piano teacher.
Harry Datyner, a Swiss with
whom he had become associa-
ted in the music department at
Cologne. He also granted a
recital in Lausanne, Switzer-
land before facing the com-
petition in Sergmo.
Concerning the pressure
tperience, Dr. Sage cem-
ented, "It provides incen-
\ie to practice hard and gives
__e the opportunity to discuss
my playing with an interna-
Jlv famous jury of pian-
ists." He added. "It's more
like a convention, because 1
learn almost as much as 1|
contribute."
The grueling competitive
schedule goes on for one and a
half weeks, consisting of four
rounds of near-perfect execu-
tion with only four pianists
competing in the last round.
Of the 80 pianists who
entered, 17 did not have to
play in the first round because
they were previous prize win-
ners, and only about 40 other
entrants actually played in the
first round.
Dr. Sage said that the rangd
in style of music was fairly
broad, although he had to
learn a total of two and
three-quarter hours of music
by heart -hence the six hours
of practicing daily!
Dr. Sage, among the 14
chosen to play in the second
round, did not go to the third
round. He was, however, able
to listen to the perform:
up until the last round. He had
to leave to catch his train to
Frankfort when the jury'
deliberation on the winne
began, but he feels certain
that Huseyin Sermet, a Turk,
won the competition. (He does
have someone writing to him
to confirm this.)
The first prize gave the
winner about $5,000. Usually
contestants reach for this
coveted pinnacle for more
than money, because the prize
winner not only becomes
better known, but may also
gagements as a result.
About being back home, Dr.
Sage confessed, "I'm glad to
be back where there are
drinking fountains!"

Jogging: can it be fun?
l^YES

Granted, jogging interrupts
a lackadaisical lifestyle, but if
you want a refreshing pick-
me-up in the evening with no
headaches or hangovers,
there's nothing better.
The secret to successftil,
fun-filled jogging lies in one's
mental attitude. If one waits
until one is dead tired and one
still has two tests to study for
before one can go to bed, and
it's already 11:30, one will
probably be able to talk one's
self out of going half the time,

the above basis last year. My
jogging was a "good works"
duty that 1 had to do and felt
guilty if I didn'l do. 1 always
thought about that milkshake
that I needed to burn off, or
thai candy bar I wanted to get
rid of, and so I sweated
through 6 to 8 laps, struggling
to lose 5 pounds every night.
And when 1 went back to my
room and I still weighed the
same, I felt like giving up. But
I knew jogging was good for
me, so I kept boring myself
every night, week after week.
Then I discovered the power
of positive thinking. I decided
that I wasn't going to jog just
because if was good for me but
because I wanted tol A posi-
tive attitude is a must if one
wants to have fun jogging.
First of all, in the spirit of
my new attitude, I found
someone to jog with. What a
difference that made-even on
the very first night! And
instead of waiting till late at
night to drag my jogging
partner out to the dull, lifeless
track, I and my sidekick would
run the scenic route (this can
be modified to suit individual
taste) in the late afternoon or
early evening.
Jogging became a time
when my friend and I could
gel together and catch up on
news (not gossip, news). As
we jogged along talking, be-
fore I knew it, we had finished
times, we were even ready to
run (hrough our route again. I
had started to love jogging,

Tradgedy often brings with
it a revelation of God. How it
is received depends upon the
character of the individual.
For those who oppose God, it
is a revelation of His justice.

G. Spafford.
New York, 1873. The "S.S.
Ville du Havre", a luxurious
French liner, set sail for
France. Among the passen-
gers on board were Mrs
Spafford and her four child-
ren. Remaining on shore, M:
Spafford was unable to ai
company his family because i
previously arranged business
commitments in Chicago, a
city recently destroyed by the

Great Fire. Soon, he had told
them, he would join them in
France.
At two o'clock on the morn-
ing of November 22, 1873,
when the liner was several
days from port, she was struck
by a British iron sailing ship,
the "Lochearn". Within two
hours the "Ville du Havre"
had sunk to the ocean floor
with the loss of some 226 lives.
Among those were the Spaf-
ford children. Nine days later
Spafford received a cable from
his wife with these words:
"Saved alone." It was the
second time tragedy had
befallen him. First, he had lost
his possessions in the Great
Chicago Fire. Now his child-
ren had been snatched away
by the sea.
The next month Spafford
boarded a ship for France to
be with his wife. One evening
the Captain called him to his

One day the New York Giants' football coach, Allie Sherman,
during one of his team's less successful seasons, was late for a
football luncheon at a hotel. He darted through a revolving door
with such speed that he upended an old dignified gentleman in
his path who happened to be heading for the same luncheon.
"No offense. Sir," apologized coach Sherman.
"You're telling mel" roared the old gaffer, who happened to
be a loyal Giant fan. "That's been your trouble all year long.
Pro forecast-
Before looking to this
week's N.F.L. games, let's
check on the Baseball
playoffs.
Perhaps the biggest ques-
tion is, will the teams who
clinched playoff berths before
the strike be able to regain the
motivation and enthusiasm
some have lacked since play
resumed? Only time will tell.
In the American League I'm
going with the N.Y. Yankees
and Oakland A's. These two
teams seem to have an edge
on pitching, while K.C. and
Milwaukee have a little better
hitting. Over in the National
League 1 believe Houston and
Montreal will advance to the
League championship series.
All four battles should be
excellent and could go either
It would be tough to pick
any single game as the game
of the week in the N.F.L. this

crucial matchups involving
divisional rivals.

Dear Skeptical Reader:
Thank you for your concern
as to the validity of the
questions used in the Accent's
"Alternatives. "
Because of the newness of
'Alternatives" and lack of
response from the students at
the beginning of the year,
some of the questions were
written by the editors.
Recently, however, most
questions have been sent in
through the Accent mailboxes.
Remember, if you have any
problems or questions on any

Thanks a lot.

Focus on females
The life of a woman is a fascinating study. From the very
dawn of history she has filled mankind with admiration, joy and
children. She has also added to his perplexities. She follows a
complicated pattern that is beyond the understanding of any
mere male. One might add that her constant change in attitude
is usually a mystery to her friends and even to herself

bv Steve Dickerhoff ^
The first major social event
of the year has come and
:, and I am glad to say that
s asked to it. I had such a
good time that I've decided to
a brief summary of the
o'^ht- ^ , ...
My date and I were ndmg
aown with a friend of mine
(who we shall call Tom) and
his date.
Tom and I went to pick up
the girls about 4:30. The
pinning ceremony lasted til 5.
So, I like to take my time and
good job. I'll have to
admit that this was one of the
better pinning jobs I've
done... This giri lived.
From the dorm, we made a
quick stop at the Erlanger
emergency room for a pint of
blood just in case my date's
wound would happen to open
again, and we were off.
Tom and I had already
decided that we weren't going
to leave the giris out of the
conversation, so we talked
about something of mutual
interest. The girls didn't know
any football scores, so they
didn't talk much, but we had
given them the chance.
After we had caught up on
all the scores, we turned to
more important things. Who
was going to drive back that
night? As of the Cartersville
exit, I had counted 53 VW's,
and Tom only 37, so, I guess
Tom would have the honor.
We had a little scare on the
way. At about Calhoun, Tom's
date noticed that she had
forgotten the tickets. Well, we
didn't worry about it because
we figured all the other girls
would forget theirs too. (And
the number's still 4694.)
I'm still suffering side
effects from that road into
Arrowhead. Man, if it hadn't
been for the Dramamine, my
head would still be hanging
out the window.
Arrowhead is really a nice
place. It was so nice in fact
that I decided to keep several
moraentoes of my visit. The
forks and spoons are coming
in really handy around the
room, and the table cteth
would have too, but as I was
folding it up, this lady came
and took it away from me.
There were plenty more; I
didn't see why she took mine.
I couldn't believe my eyes
when I went through line.
There, with a room full of
Adventists, was a crock of
blue cheese dressing. I men-
tioned this to Tom as we went
back for thirds on salad.
"We are going to have to

bring this up to Dr. Knittel,"
Tom agreed as he put more
blue cheese on his salad.
I was kind of disappointed

Dear Thatcherites:
If you really believe
Steve's atricle on Septem-
ber 24. you must really
think of yourselves in that
way (i.e. need to be patted
on the head.)
I really don't think Steve
meant what he said about
women. His main objective
in writing these articles is to
catch everyone's attention
and he's succeeding at it.
(i.e. dummy hung on flag

Chapels revised
Along with the i
this year's student activities
comes a change in the format
of several chapel programs. In
order to maintain the cuhural
programming without conflict-
ing with Saturday night pro-
grams, several events, vi-hich
have appeared in the past on
the schedule for Saturday
night's Artist Adventure Se-
ries, are listed this year as
chapel programs.
Thursday, October 8. fea-
tured Dr. Robert Sage and Dr.
Bruce Ashton as a classical
piano duo. Among the num-
bers performed were Vocalsie,
by Rachmaninoff; Jupilar, by
Hoist; and an unique arrange-
ment of the Star-Spangled
Banner, arranged by perfor-
mer Dr. Bruce Ashton.
Commenting on the new
arrangement of the Cultural
Fine Arts series Dr. Sage
says, "If the students come
and listen, even if it is only to
get their two points, they
might find themselves enjoy-
ing it. The door has then been
opened to further classical
appreciation.
The second cultural chapel
to be featured at SMC will be
an appearance and lecture by
Soviet dissident Alexander
Ginzburg.
Ginzburg was scheduled to
make an appearance for last
year's SMC Artist Adventure
series. Because pf a stolen
passport, however, he was
unable to meet his Cotlegedale
appointment.
Ginzburg will speak for the
October 20 chapel.

SMC's Division of Music
presented the Annual Pops
Concert on Saturday night,
October 10. at the Physical
Education Center. The eve-
ning's program featured per-
formances by the Die Meister-
singer, the Symphony Orches-
tra, the Chorale and the
Concert Band.
Dr. Marvin Robertson wel-
comed the standing-room-only
crowd to the concert, then
announced the first group-the
Die Meistersinger under his
direction.
The male choral group sang
three numbers. The first-
"Banjo Medley "-featured
Steve Martin on the banjo.
After having Mrs. Robertson
escorted to the stage, Dr.
Robertson dedicated the next
song""I Dream of Jeanie""to
his wife. After the song Dr.
Robertson gave his wife a kiss.
One obersver wryly noted the
kiss was the most "observed"
Dr. Robertson had given his
wife in the 27 years they had
been married. Die Meister-
singer also sang "This Old
Hammer" and concluded by
dedicating the last song-
"Five Foot Two and Eyes of
Blue"-to Jenine Fryling, the
group's pianist.

The advent of the snack bar
in the Student Center- is just
one of the places Schlisner
feels will be good for social
interaction. Additional plans
for the Student Center include
the addition of various games
and its staying open until
midnight on Saturdays.
Also, the gymnasium will
remain open to students wish-
ing to use its facilities. The
Talge Hall recreation room
will also be available for club
functions with prior approval.
Schlisner is trying to get
away from the "big event"
type of function which he feels
do not interest all students
and leaves them with little or
no alternative for weekend
entertainment.
The smaller and more fre-
quent events, such as trips off
campus to such things as
waterslides. ice skating, etc..
are being very well attended.
Also, the nights of pizza and a
film in the cafeteria are
popular and are another indi-
cation of the divergent options
open to students.
Many of the cultural and
fine arts programs which were
scheduled for Saturday nights
and were generally poorly
attended last year have been
shifted to chapel periods this
year as Schlisner feels they
are still a "good part of
education.'

the movie "Orphan Annie"
and a catchy song, "Pops

of hoedowns and bluegrass.

musicians jurnping up and

ing to the music and putting
on masks and wigs.
The Chorale, under the
direction of Dr. Don Runyan,

Students generally reacted
positively to the musical pro-

enjoyable and a lot of fun,'"
commented Jan McTaggart
freshman nursing major.
Laura Martin, also a fresh
man nursing major, agreed
"This was n fantastic evening

admitted, "this is the first

O
getting bacfc to basics
How often have you been with a group of coeds when the
subject of marriage managed a brief appearance? Did you
noHce all noses turning up, all lips turning down and all ears
turning off--or are you naturally inattentive?
Marriage as an institution, possibility or necessity has
become much maligned in traditional collegiate society. It either
carries*onnotations of an eager-and-waitiog, a "hard-up," a
home-ec or theology student. For all other forms of hfe on
campus, marriage seems to be the most used and abused
arrangement available, and they avoid it, seemingly, like
nuclear radiation.
I theoretically disagree. Marriage is God's ideal for attaining
the joys of a relationship between two people. And indeed, real
joy comes only with such real union as can be found in
marriage--with a unique and abiding relationship.
Further. I suggest that those of us who openly denounce
marriage in our own future are either too lazy or immature to
accept the responsibilities involved, too insecure to open our
hearts (honestly and deeply interacting about our inner
thoughts and feelings) sufficiently to another person to allow
him/her the safe privilege of opening his/her heart to ours, just
plain scared we don't have the ability to consistently satisfy a
member of the opposite sex from day to day, or we're afraid we
won't get married because of lack of interest. (TTiese people
wear a little sign around that says: I'm not available due to
everyone's choice but mine.)
Four misconceptions about marriage exist that can best be
expressed by our emminent collegian, Homree Hortense.
"But I'm a swinging bachelor, and marriage would cramp my
style." Actually, for couples with strong religious beliefs,
statistics indicate that they enjoy, on the average, making love
three times a week throughout life. The average participation of
the swinging single remains far below that reality, despite the
hvpe of certain magazine editors to the contrary.
'^"Marriage would take away all my romance: you ^ow the
pursuit and capture." In reality, marriage provides the ideal
opportunity for wooing and continued courtship; except in
matJiage. the pursuit can be more-often-than-not successful.
Almost any marriage counselor would agree that continuing the
"little attentions" and "wining and dinmg' are essenttals for a
successful marriage.
"Lite, all the variety I have now would be gone I m
remarkably well-rounded, and I need to be shared by all. In
fact each individual is endlessly variable. Personality theonsts
indicate that it usually takes most of a lifetime for us to become
thoroughly acquainted with ourselves. Just think of the eternal
possibilities when you add another person's mmd to your
understanding. And if things get dull, blame your own
imagination and creativity, not marriage.
"I just get tired of all the hassles." In this case, Homree
reveals his lack of maturity coupled with his extreme
selfishness, both of which he'll need to change anyway.
Happiness equals personal fulfillment, success, actualization,
growth, expansion and variety. Providing all these and more,
the continuously unique relationship called marriage remains
an extremely attractive option for relaxed "homebodies" and
thrill-seekers alike.
Finally, although I enjoy the freedom of bachelorhood, I'd
much rather have the privileges of marital union.
"If men are SO
wicked with
religion, what
would they be
without it?"'

Dear Editor:
What could possibly be the
reason behind the full-page ad
promoting the Army in the
October 8 issue? Was there a
financial incentive or just the
desire to- 'do our belt-tight-
ening country a good turn?
Although we are proud of
our country and want to
support it, do we realize that
enlisting in the armed forces
could possible remove us from
under Uncle Sam's protecting
umbrella o" " '
freedom?
Surely ther ^_
in which to take up space. But
maybe this is better than
bloodying the page with an-
other episode of the scuffle
between the sexes that Steve
D. and his Thatcher opponents
continue from week to week.
Maybe both parties are "just
kidding."
An event witnessed in front
ot the Thatcher annex makes
nie wonder whether either sex
knows what role is their
inherited lot. I watched as a
gentleman (using the term
loosely) and his (?) lady (what-
religious
e other ways
ever that means) made their
way to his car. He got into the
driver's side and she was left
standing next to the passenger
After an obvious hesitation,
she tried the door and found it
locked. Then he got out and
went around the car, unlocked
the door, checked the handle
to make sure it was unlocked,
and got back into the car-
leaving her standing outside.
She then verbally demonstrat-
ed her disapproval and opened
the door herself.
Maybe most women dont
like to be treated like ladies
anymore. I wouldn't know.

Dear Editor:
A couple of weeks have
passed now since the Student
Association elections. I feel
: impressed to write this letter;
not because of the results, but
because of the manner in
which they were held and the
publicity they received.
The Student Association
seems to be suffering from an
inability to get news of its
events to the student body,
village students in particular.
It is hoped that when the new
mailboxes for village students
are ' completed (soon?) that
this will remedy the problem
somewhat.
My particular complaint in-
I volves the handling of the
I run-off elections for the village
Isenators. Since the S.A.
Bofficers decided not to take the
r (out of eight) candidates
iwho received the most votes,
jbut to have a run-off election
^between the top six names, I
forced into a run-off
isituation instead of an elected
^situation.
IS told that there would
Lin-offbut I was not told
when. In fact, when I inquired
again about the run-off from
someone in the S.A. office, I
was told not to worry because I
would be informed when the
run-off would be held.
This conversation took place
the day after the run-off, I
found out later, so it seems
that even some in the S.A.
office were not aware of when
the run-off would be held.
In talking with many stu-
dents, both dorm and village,
the concensus has been that
the elections were poorly pub-
licized. Some of the viUage
students told me that they
could not find where they were
supposed to vote. I also did
not see any voting tables and,
in fact, went to the S.A. office
to vote so I would be able to
cast my ballot.
I'm sure that any votes that
I did receive on the run-off
were purely by accident
because I have talked to
almost every village student
I know and no one knew of the
run-off election (when &
where) and, of course, 1
myself did not get to vote.
Is this the normal procedure
in years past? Is there not a
constitution for the S.A. which
spells out what must be done
in the case of run-off elec-
tions-when run-offs are
necessary and the procedure
to be followed in organizing
and holding elections?
At the JUNIOR COUEGE
from which I transferred and
was a student representative,
this was the case. I know since
I was on the committee which
drafted new provisions
(amendments) to the constitu-
tion.
If the S.A. does not have a
constitution to guide and de-
fine its activities, perhaps they
should consider framing one.
If one exists, perhaps they
should see what it says about
conducting elections or amend
it so that situations such as
occurred in the past election
are not repeated.
Sincerely,
Stephen R. Morris
P.S. It's true, I'm finicky.
Dear Editor:
Whatever happened to the
"Hands of God?"
The November 2, 1978
Southern Accent published an
article claiming that SMC was
to acquire a sculpture by
Actor M. Contreras called
"Hands of God."
It was made in Mexico out
of cast silver and gold bronze.
It stood 23 feet tall, 10 feet
wide at its widest point, and
weighed eight and one-half
tons. The sculpture had a pair
of hands (representing God's
hands) folded over a heart
with a drop of blood. It was to
represent that man is still in
God's hands.
The sculpture was supposed
to get here in two or three
months. That was three years
ago.
Is it in storage? Will it go in
front of the Fine Arts com-
plex? When will the Fine Arts
complex be finished? I can't
wait until the sculpture is
unveiled.

I getting somewhat out of hand.
in the past two issues of the

To John Austin, (whoever

Dear Editor:
In reference to Monday
night's flagball game between
Steve Nogel's team and Reno
Thompson's team, I would like
to ask those who were there
watching and those who were
playing to forgive me for my
intemperate behavior and my
inexcusable temper tantrum. I
was frustrated, and I vented
my friistrations in a very loud
that this has gone too far.
It seems as though some
personal battles between
Thatcher hall residents, facul-
ty, and even a village resident
have begun, and it all stems
from one article. Have we
heard anything else from Mr.
Dickerhoff about this article?
By the way, for those invol-
ved in the hanging of the
dummy on the flagpole, if it
really bothered you so much,
why didn't you just gang up on
Steve and hang him? Did
hanging a dummy really ac-
complish anything?
I think it's time we drop the
issue and face the facts: (1)
God intended for women to be
the weaker sex, and (2)
Steve's articles are written for
a good laugh.
So why don't we drop the
subject and discuss Green
Bay's exciting 27-14 victory
over the Giants for the benefit
of Coach Jaecks. Or maybe we
can discuss the heroics of
Reggie Fitzgerald, I mean
Reggie Jackson.

Perhaps the epitaph Anwar
Sadat chose for himself was
more fitting than even he
realized. It was Sadat, ins-
pired by his dream of praying
in Jerusalem's Al Aksa Mos-
que, who made the initial
grand gesture of going to
Jerusalem to visit his arch-
enemy. Menachem Begin.
It was he who took the first
bold step on the road towards
Camp David and the historic
Egyptian-Israeli peace
accords, thus isolating himself
from the Arab world.
It was also Sadat, however,
who offered to help the Nazi
General Rommel defeat the
British in World War II, who
conspired to assassinate a pro-
British Egyptian official in
1946, and who materminded a
surprise attack on Israel in
1973 that precipitated the
gravest crisis in U.S. -Soviet
relations since 1962.
Sadat was born on Decem-
ber 25. 1918, in the Nile delta
village of Mh Abul Kom
where he lived until his family
moved to Cairo when he was

the Army and helped Nasser
overthrow King Farouk's pro-
British regime.
He gradually worked his
way up the political ladder
until, by the time of Nasser's
death in 1970, he was the only
man in position to take power.
Thought by most observers
to be a yes-man incapable of
filling Nasser's shoes, he sur-
prised everyone by jailing
senior military commanders
suspected of plotting a coup
against him and by expelling
eighteen thousand Soviet
"advisers."
In 1973, he plotted the Yom

won the Nobel Peace Prize for
his role in the Camp David
peace accords.
Recently, he jailed over

was his undoing.

also involved in partially sub-
sidizing various student clubs
on campus; making it possible
for them to embark on various
excursions. Schlisner feels
this type of partial subsidy not
only helps the S.A. budget to
go further, but also allows
more students to benefit from
his office's efforts.
Despite the budget squeeze
this year, very little has been
cut from the roster of activities
planned. The only definite
event being dropped is a fall
and spring excursion to Camp
Kalaqua for Orlando nursing
students. The lack of interest
and attendance at such past
outings, rather than a lack of
funds, warranted its elimina-
tion.
Schlisner hopes to salvage
up to SI ,500 from the cancella-
tion and put it towards some
other activity.
Though the budget is being
tightened and twisted to wring
out every bit of waste, the
S.A. plans, though stream-
lined, basically have not
changed.

Though not the only event
on tap for any given weekend,
the Artist Adventure Series,
which is largely S.A. spon-
sored, has been a tremendous
success so far this year.
In regard to its attendance
to date. Schlisner commented
that "it's as good a start as
there's been" since he's been
with the college. Programs
thought to be of greatest
interest to students were
chosen for the series.
A student hired to handle
the advertising and overall
public relations for the office
was also cited as a possible
reason for the success of the
programs.
In reference to his philo-
sophy of providing several
options to students for week-
end activity and the actual
plans for the year Schlisner
remarked, "I think we're
covering the bases pretty
well." He also welcomes any
positive or negative feedback
as well as any suggestions for
additional programs or acti-
vities.
explicit as what is found in the
theater, and that's an impro-
vement, right? Watch "Fla-
mingo Road" or "Dynasty" in
the evening, or "As the
Stomach Turns" in the after-
noon; you'll see.
Besides, television teaches
you reality and is a help in
daily living. "Three's Com-
pany" teaches you to "love
thy neighbor." "Barney Mil-
ler" teaches respect for the
police. "Jeffersons" teaches
that hard working, intelligent
minorities can make it to the
big time. And "Facts of Life"
teaches you the facts nt life.
Righ-h-t-t!!
Well, anyway, T.V. is an
improvement over the movie
theater after all. You don't
have to spend cold hard cash
to watch it. You don't have to
get up and walk out of the
theater. And best of all you
can change channels or even
turn the "thing" off-without
getting off the sofa if you have
a remote control.
Actually. I believe we ought
to wa'ch more T.V. and go to
more movies. We need to
expand our entertainment
horizons. We can add our
television watching and thea-
ter attendance to our caving,
backgammon, football, moun-
tain climbing, skiing,
Asteriods, Pac Man and really
becomes "Lovers of Pleasure
more than Lovers of God,"
and feed the hungry and help
the poor. Righ-h-t-t! !1

Is T.V. an improvement

T.V. be an improvement over
the cinema when the same
movies shown in the theater
are invariably shown on T.V.?
Theaters are accused of
contributing to the erosion of
society's morality, and reli-

corrupt, violent, and
„-.:ually explicit movies; and
therefore, overlooking any re-
deeming aspects, are labeled
forbidden fruit. The Romans
phrased this type of reasoning
post hoc ergo propter hoc.
I have watched the same
movies, and have observed
staunch anti-cinema activists
enthusiastically affix them-
selves to the very movies on
T.V. that were taboo while in
the cinema.
Ir lieu of absolute Christian
ethics, to consider T.V. as a
better choice than the theater
is like a Laotian refugee

"Book Sale at Eastgate!"
The words thrilled me as I
heard them. Quickly, I began
forming plans to go. I am a
book lover and collector, so
any time there is a chance to
get my hands on a "bargain"
book. I'll do it.
On Friday there were only a
few tables full of cheap
thrillers like Smuggled Love.
and The New Nurse. Old
Reader's Digests and lots of
worthless textbooks finished
ihe sale coilection list.
Nothing looked good-even for
only a quarter. The sale would
last through the weekend, so I
would come back.
On Saturday night I re-
lumed once again in hopes of
striking it rich and finding
books that others had some-
how overlooked.
This time seven tables were
laden with books of every
description. Most of them
didn't look appealing until one
of the ladies in charge said,
■'We've got to get rid of them.
so it's all you can carry for
dollar."
With that pronouncement,
the buying frenzy began. Any
book that looked like it could
possibly be good or interesting
was thrown in my box. Why
not? Each one added would
only lower the amount per
book.
Ten minutes and forty plus
books later, I left Eastgate
carrying the cardboard box as
if it were a treasure chest.
Later, while looking through
my recent purchases, I began
to think about those books on
the tables. At one time they
were new and selling for five
or ten dollars apiece. Later,
due to an overstock, damage
or lack of interest, they were
placed on a table marked "All
Books Half Off!" Now they
had been ditched in a huge
sale and were going for
pennies each.
What brought the change in
value? Age, condition and
pertinence of information
Directions
were factors, to be sure.
Though good books were
hard to find, analogies are not.
I see them on at least three
levels.
First, is the material level.
Cars, cameras. TV's all lose
value as they are used and
age. With the passage of time,
almost all material things lose
value. Is it any wonder that
Jesus tells us not to lay up our
treasure on earth?
This depreciation also exists
on a personal level. How many
times have we seen the value
of a person lowered because
they have been used or
damaged by others? It is so
easy to use someone to help
you climb a social, scholastic
or similar type of ladder and
once there discard them be-
cause they are of no further
benefit to you. All around us
are people who carry the label
"Used."
The third level is one that
affects all of us, for we all have
in a sense been used or
depreciated. This is the
spiritual level.
When man came from the
hand of God, he was perfect
and whole. But through sin
and its deadly consequences
we have become old, scarred,
used and worthless.
All of humanity has been
labeled by Satan as worthless.
But God saw us. not as we
were but as what we could
become, and sent Jesus to die
for us. He brought us back,
not because we were selling
for cheap, but because He
loved us and wanted to re-
make us in His image again.
Occasionally when I look at
my library shelves I can't help
but remember the lesson I
have learned from my "bar-
gain books."

Bible facts series
' The Printings of the Bible ' '
Johannes Gutenburg produced the first printed Bible in 1455.
The first complete English Bible was by Wycliffe and his
followers and appeared in England in 1382.
The first Bible was printed in America in 1663. It was a
translation into the Mohican language by John Eliot.
The smallest Bible has been reproduced on a two-inch square.
Into the production of the RSV, went 2.000 gallons of ink, 1.000
tons of paper. 10 tons of type material. 71 miles of 40-inch
cloth, and enough 23.karat gold leaf, for stamping the name
to pave a road 24 feet wide and a mile long. The finished
books, stacked in one pile, would reach higher than 100
Empire State Buildings. The first printing alone cost $6
million.
Some mistakes made in printing the Bible were:
1631 An edition of the King James Bible read: "Thou shall
commit adultery."
1551 A Bible was printed in which Psalms 91:5 read: "Thou
shall not be afraid of any bugs by night.
1702 A version that spoke of David as being pe^ecuted by
"printers" instead of "princes" m Psalms 119:161.

This is really a tough one.
Both are loaded with talent

MONTREAL may be a little
hungrier for a championship,

Warming up to stay young
When you begin aging
(we'll call that approximately
two or three years after you
reach puberty) you need to
start listening a little more
carefully to what the body is
telling the mind. Some mes-
sages that begin coming
through with more frequency
relate to fatigue and stiffness.
This leads our discussion to
the basic question; Do warm-
ups really do any good?
When you were 5 or 6 years
old all systems were go. You
could quick-start and stop in
your activities with little or no
side effects. During the mid-
dle-age years, (we'll call that
approximately IS to 55 years
of age) the body rebels a litlle
at the idea of jackrabbit living.
As time passes an increasingly
longer warm-up time is
needed to lubricate the joints,
and warm muscles and blood.
This does not have to be a
laborious ritual, but it should
be a ritual. If you are a jogger,
or worse, you should walk a
ne-fourth mile to
warm-up. While doing this,
your velocity should increase
until those blades of grass are
just flying on by. At this point
the joints and blood tempera-
ture will be ready for you to
act like a young hot-blood
again.
Also important to consider
in warm-ups is the length of
the muscles used. Muscles
will be slower to farigue if they
can relax, and they relax
better if they are longer. The
best lengthening (or stretch-
ing) technique is to hold the
stretch position two different
times for at least 6 seconds.
This stretching routine
should include the muscle
group on the front of the lower
leg which causes shin splints if
not warmed up properly. This
is done by pointing the toes
back and down and pressing.
You should also stretch by
pole leaning "leaning on a pole
from several feet away while
keeping your feet flat on the
ground. Do this to avoid sore
calves and Achilles tendons.
Lastly, stretch the hamstrings
by bending at the waist with
the knees straight. This wil
help you maintain a normal
stride and hip angle.
Warming down slowly is im-
portant for a healthy exercise
period. The quick stop from
60-to-O after heavy exercise
means the other two pumps-
which are the muscle pump
and the vessel purop--jusi
stop. Moving the blood here
and there is aU left up to the
ole ticker.
In addition, the muscles
doing reperitive contracting
will shorten as a result of ne
work they have done. So, tn
same stretching bout done
prior to starting the exercise
needed after the exercise.
With judicious planning,
most of us should have a
lifetime (we'll call that appros^
imately expirarion minus i>^
weeks) of enjoyable roovmg-

Southern cynic
by Laurie Loga J
Since I have been at SMC, I
have learned quite a few
things both in and put of
classes. One of these is that
people generally trust the
written word far more than the
spoken. More credibility is
given to newspapers, maga-
zines and journals than to all
the Dan Rathers and Walter
Cronkites in the nation.
I think that's great. I was
especially delighted when I
came to Coliegedale and
learned of the many different
papers being circulated
throughout this community.
One, in particular, fascinated
me because it always seemed
to have a jump on all the
information. Certain issues
were discussed in this paper
that no one else seemed to
know about.
1 first got news of this
extraordinary publication
when I was coming back from
chapel one day. A lady, her
arms loaded with papers, was
As people went by, she would
thrust a copy under their nose,
making it necessary for the
startled victim to either take
the paper or wear it. The
majority opted for the former.
1 had recently adopted five
or six cats, so when I passed
the enthusiastic circulation
manager, I took about twenty
copies. That lady must be fond
of cats, as she certainly looked
pleased.
"Make sure they all have
their own copy," shewhispered
loudly as 1 passed. I smiled
happily. "Thanks, Til do
that." Imagine, a total
stranger being worried about
my cats.
I didn't think about the
papers until later when I was
in class. I'd forgotten to bring
something to read so I casually
glanced at one of them.
Soon I was engrossed in the
front page. There was a
feature article about some
guys who, for a joke, tried to
force Dr. Knittel to resign.
"The humor is outstanding,"
I thought, laughing to myself.
I did feel a bit sorry for our
president, though, having to
waste his time on a few
prepubescent pranksters and
prejudiced punks. Neverthe-
less, it made a terrific story.
Next 1 turned to the middle
of the paper. It was even
better. Eagerly I devoured the
print, discovering to my
amazement and utter horror
that eight of the college tea-

cherswere imposters. all were
dormant herefics, they effec-
tively used brainwashing and
hypnosis as teaching aids, and
sadly enough, only four stu-
dents had come out of the
deceptive classes untainted
and sane. I glanced guardedly
at my teacher, wondering for
the first time if the Pytha-
gorean Theorem was as safe
as people thought.
By the time I had finished
reading the little epistle, class
was over and I was terrified. I
knew all the information I had
just digested was true; it was
in print. 1 could therefore look
forward to a new president,
several different teachers, a
new conditioning center to be
used for deprogramming
innocent victims, and enough
cat papers to last the nine lives
of every feline in the state.

for everything except the

students are out looking for
someone to pay their tele-

According to the latest ver-

actor Reynolds allegedly won
a lawsuit from Bell Telephone

He then supposedly released
his credit card number for

If it all sounds too good to

nothing to do with the two

Everett Schlisner says that no

Schlisner, in an attempt to

•'I've been a dean a long time

about having to move in the

feels the move is necessary as
there are open rooms in Talge
Hall and space in other facili-
ties as well.
He also feels that it is a
display of poor stewardship to
run all the buildings when
there is sufficient room to
house students elsewhere.
Schlisner also acknowledged
knowing about the kind of
community spirit which exists
when a group of guys are put
together in one place separate
from the main dormitory.
He feels this type of cohe-

Student senate convenes
The Student Senate of
Southern Missionary College
met for its first meeting of the
1981-82 school year on Octo-
ber 14. Though mostly an
orientation and review of par-
liamentary procedure. Roger
Burke, SA president says. "It
looks like it's going to be a
successful year."
Part of the agenda included
the revelation that though the
SA budget had been cut some
$2,000. approximately the
same amount would be saved
by the annual Adventist Inter-
Collegiate Association conven-
tion's being held at nearby
Oakwood College instead of at
Pacific Union College as was
originally planned. About ten
representatives from SMC at-
tend the convention each year.
Also discussed was the
problem students have en-
countered with last year's
edition of the Southern Mem-
ories. Some copies were
poorly bound and came apart
quite prematurely. Those stu-
dents who own such books are
advised that a few replace-
ments are available at the SA
office.
A major problem targeted
on for this year's senate seems
to be the phone system.
President Burke admitted that
the poor phone service in
Collegedale, specifically in the
dormitories, is a pet project of
his, and several senators ex-
pressed an interest in trying to
improve it as well.
If students are curious as to
what kind of weight the Stu-
dent Senate pulls, Burke says
that the SA has good commu-
nication with SMC faculty and

life on this campus, we can act

Wright Hall gone, the Collegedale Church no longer bemg used
and a huge five story science building standing where the VM
parking lot now is.
Now picture yourself sitting on a cement block from the rums
of Summerour Hall and watching students walk by in jeans,
sweatshirts and barefeel. You try hard not to snicker at the
guys' pigtails and the girls' crewcuts.
Feeling hungry, you head for the "good ole snack bar" to
grab a bite— only to fmd that the machines have been shipped
out and a video arcade room has been hauled in.
Having no success at the snack bar, you make your way to the
cafeteria (now located three miles across campus) and pick out a
selection that includes the familiar Worthington and Loma
Linda fakes. HORRORSI The meal comes to a total cost of
$72,381
Finally, you take a stroll through the dorm. Glancing in the
same old rooms, you can't help but notice groups of students
huddled around the TV's and video tape set ups in their rooms.
Hoping to find some familiar sound, you grab a phone in one of
the rooms. Sure enough-tick, tick, tick.
Back to 1981. Taking a stroll around, alumni members can't
help but notice strange building, vacated classrooms and
unfamiliar sounds.
SMC sure isn't the way it used to be. Or is it?

Dear Editor:
Having noticed a problem
which seems to appear more
than once. I wish to bring to
your attention facts that may
be useful to our schooL
Our campus, being an SDA
educational facility, wishes to
maintain and represent the
church's Christian standards.
Believing that a Christain is
to be neat, cleaned and pro-
perly dressed, the staff have
placed a code in our cafeteria
under which blue jeans are
prohibited. Yet what is our
goal? Do we as Christians not
like the color blue?
I present to you that the
problem lies not in blue jean
material alone, but in other
material types as well.
Holes, dirt and stains do not
find themselves only on blue
It's not true that cords,
white jeans or khakis have the
property of "once nice, always
nice." A hole in cords is as
ratty as a hole in jeans.
I wear my jeans dry cleaned
and pressed as do many other
SMC students, and we-
though neat, clean and pro-
perly dressed—are not allowed
the privilege of entering the
main dining area.
We don't ask that all blue
jeans be permitted, but tiial
those that contain no holes,
stains, or patches may be
worn to the dining area under
the discretion of the hostess.
We are also concerned thai
pants having stains and holes
are being permitted into the
dining area due to the fact that
they're not blue jeans.
Let's give equal rights to
blue jeans that are neat, clean
and proper. Blue jeans can be
beautiful, too.

Dear Editor:
I'd just like to reply to the
editorial in the October 15
issue of Southern Accent on
marriage. 1 agree; somehow,
even in our Christian subcul-
ture, we aren't getting the
whole truth on subjects con-
cerning dating and marriage.
1 believe that marriage,
under God's blessing, is one
of the most beautiful relation-
ships in the world, very
unique and very fulfilling.
But on the other hand,
many times I get the impres-
sion that if one (especially a
Christian man or woman> de-
cides to stay single, many of
the brethren look down on
him/her as being somewhat
strange, or perhaps too im-
mature or selfish {according to
other people-not necessarily
the Lord) to marry.
People may even try to
make these people feel as
though something is wrong
with them and that they better
hurry up and get a mate. I
find that to be tragic!
Yes, single people, espe-
cially if they are Christians.
can lead rewarding lives. Just
look at women and men like
Paul. Corrie Ten Boom, Ann
Keimel and Bill Gothard.
These people are (or were)
fulfilled in their serving minis-
tries for Christ. They found
that "special Someone"--
Jesus of Nazareth! "You are
complete in Him! Col. 2:10.
The Apostle Paul speaks of
both marriage and singleness
being gifts. They both can be
used to serve Christ.
Please, let us not judge our
single brethren who, for
Christ's sake, decide not to
marry because they want to
serve Jesus in a special way.
Please, don't get me wrong.
I'm not knocking marriage. I
plan on getting married my-
self someday and make lifej
real joy for my hiture wife anfl
family.
I just wanted to speak out on
behalf of any singles out there
who might wish to be under-
stood. ^. . .

Dear Editor:
In the October 8 Southern
Accent there appeared an
advertisement for the U.S.
Army. I was shocked.
From my understanding,
the official church position on
serving in the armed forces is
that we should not enlist
voluntarily.

gency, when we may have to

I'm not against serving in
this country's armed forces. I
believe strongly in thiscountry
and for what it stands. We
should support our country in
every way possible.
When there appears a con-
flict between serving one's
country and serving one's God
this is where one must draw
the line. This conflict would
surely arise sooner or later for
any Adventist in the service.
Sure, the services offer
excellent opportunities in ed-
ucation, travel, and benefits.
but their sole purpose is to
engage and kill the enemy
whenever necessary.
Whether an infantryman,
artillery man, motor transport
man. doctor or nurse; in the
army, you're a member of an
organization whose sole pur-
pose for survival is to take
another's life-directly or in-
directly.
Whatever the reason for
this advertisement appearing
in our newspaper, I believe it
is wrong.
With Christ's coming so
close can we truly afford to be
caught defending our country
and not our faith?

Dear Editor:
Cleanliness and proper hy-
giene have been commonplace
in the Adventist health doc-
trine for many years; however,
I am seriously concerned just
how much the school, or more
accurately, Talge Hall is
upholding these principles of
cleanliness and good health.
What would make me even
think such a though as this?
Well, I'll tell you. Just to think
that this problem exists at a
private college with some of
the best caliber people makes
me sick to the point of
barfage.
The problem is roaches. The
faculty of the dorm have been
handling this rather poorly for
my entire stay here.
It's very discouraging to
think I can't take a nap during
my midnight to 8 a.m. shift at
Talge Hall desk without hav-
ing a roach crawl across the
desk looking at me and
marching off. It is indeed a
very sick and uneasy problem
here-one in which the budget
committee evidently feels isn't
very imporiant since they
life
e have not
haven't done anything about it
yet and probably never will.
Just wait— there's more
coming.
It's not only the front desk
where the roaches love to
frolic. Just go to any of the
rooms in Talge. If you were to
see you would understand why
I write this and you'd also
understand why you were
headed for the bathroom. It's
one thing to have them crawl-
ing on your walls at night, but
to turn on your lights and see
one standing on your tooth-
brush, sitting on ycfur soap, or
crawling in the bottom of your
refirigerator is just too much
for someone with a little
decency to take.
I think these are just
examples because this is
happening in the neat rooms.
The faculty can't point an
accusing finger at the messy
ones either because they are
also buying roach traps — but
to no avail.
So 1 feel it time for the
faculty to reevaluate their
position. The roach problem is
not only making our college
kids look like lower class

Ginzberg shares experiences
by Bill Bolh
Soviet dissident Alexander
Ginzburg opened his address
at SMC's Tuesday chapel
service by stating that
although he was * 'a journalist,
not a lecturer" he has lectured
at 16) different college
campuses since 1979 in an
effort to drive home the extent
of Soviet human rights viola-
According to Ginzburg, the
Soviets exterminated 66 mil-
lion people between 1917 and
1957.
This was an organized pro-
gram of terror aimed initially
at intellectuals and church
leaders and then, after they
had been eliminated, directed
towards peasants because
they maintained the old pre-
revolution traditions. This was
all designed to destroy the
"historical memory" of the
Russian people.
Although Nikita
Khrushchev revealed some of
the atrocities commited under
Joseph Stalin's regime (1924-
1953), nothing really changed
under his rule or Leonid
Brezhnev's.
Ginzburg began to openly
oppose Soviet policies by edit-
ing the literary journal
Sintaxis from 1957 until 1960
when he was arrested and
sentenced to two years forced
labor.
Since he was forbidden the
pursuit of journalism as a
career after his release,
Ginzburg had to settle for
menial jobs such as sewer
cleaner until 1966 when he
was arrested again for compil-
ing a book about a trial of two
other Soviet dissidents.
He was then sentenced in
1967 to five years of strict
regime prison camp, an
experience causing ulcers and
other ailments.
Upon his release in 1972,
Ginzburg helped Alexander
Solzhenitsyn found the
Russian Social Fund to aid
other dissidents.
Then, in 1976. he helped
start the Moscow Helsinki
Watch Group, designed to
monitor Soviet adherence to
the human rights [
the Helsinki Pact.
He was arrested for this ■
1977 and sentenced to 8 vea^
in the Soviet Union's harshest
labor camp. "
He was released and exiled
along with four other dis,i'
dents, in an exchange with ,h,
u.i. tor two spies in 1979
ta°Sa '''' '^"'"'' '"""'«
Ginzburg noted that many
Russian Adventists were sub
ject to persecution, includin.
the head of the Adventist
church in Russia who died i„
prison last year.
Although Ginzbure
approves of President
Reagan's tougher policv to-
wards the USSR, he 'feels
Reagan "may have erred" in
not continuing President
Carter's outspoken "Human
Rights" policy.
According to Ginzberg, it is
important for all Americans to
become knowledgable about
Russian and its history. One
book he particularly recom-
mended %vas Hedrick Smith's

library, by the way!)

Jim Peters ' and Gentle
Touch presented "What In the
Devil's Wrong with Rock Mu-
sic?" at a special chapel in the
gymnasium. Presenting both a
morning and evening session,
Gentle Touch emphasized a
comparison between Jesus
Christ and rock music.
"It's a matter of black and
white." Peters said as he
pointed to the two sound-
system speakers. "On one
side we would like lo place the
rock stars with their drugs,
sex, rotten music and homo-
sexuality. On the other side
we lift up Jesus, pure and
gentle. The two just don't mix.
Everett Schlisner, dean of
students, introduced the St.
Paul, Minnesota-based
group's message as "impor-
tant to the students' eternal
salvation."
(f7
m
Peters outlined six ways to
judge a style of music: 1) the
people involved-their life-
style, doctrines and beliefs; 2)
their music and lyrics; 3) the
effect on the listener-actions
of avid followers; 4) the force
behind the music-good or
evil? 5) the intentions of the
musicians-their goals; 6) the
spiritual consequences--the
end result.
After giving a short testi-
mony concerning Christ's
place in his life. Peters asser-
ted. "What I'm going to share
with you is only from public
magazines and other sources.
None of this is based on
hearsay or on my own opinions
or conclusions" designed only
to support our outline.
Peters then shared several

traying rock stars and rock

language of the rock culture,
the lifestyles of some musi-
cians and their purposes with
their music.
"You've got to serve some-

album title, concluded. "If
you're having difficulties re-
lating to God. perhaps it's
because He can't bless your
life due . to some area that
remains uncommitted and un-
surrendered. "
"I don't listen to rod
music," - commented John
Durichek. "But some people
need to be shocked so they will
see the real side of rock."
Others enjoyed the seminar
but questioned its relevance
for them. The rock music
seminar opened with two gos-
pel songs by Gentle Touch
that one observer wryly noted
were "similar to some of the
music they were condem-
ning," although the selections
did have religious lyrics.
"I knew that hard rock was
bad," agreed Dinah Slawter,
"but never listen to that kind
of music anyway. He didn't
even mention the groups I
enjoy, like Air Supply, Barry

t least three students when
I asked of their opinion of the
Why is the phone system so
I overloaded at peak hours?
I And just what is SMC going to
do about this problem? First,
ixplanation of SMC's
phone system. The college is

a.h of the over 900 phones in

iih-;(396-4XXX)areapartof
lis ne.xtwork and must go
irnugh the main switch-
■ird, even though the SMC
operator doesn't have to
answer to complete each call.
According to Richard
Reiner, business manager at
SMC, there are only 42 talking
paths for the whole system.
What this means is that at any
given time, only 42 people can
be talking to someone else. So
between say, 9 and 11 p.m., if
only 42 students called on the
phone in their rooms or the
lobbies, the entire phone sys-
tem would be tied up.
So why doesn't SMC get
rid of the system and put in a
word — money. The basic
equipment charges on the
present system are $9,600 a
month or overSl 15.000 a year.
If the college rented a new,
sophisticated system with
unlimited talking paths, the
cost would rise to over
$151,000 a year.
Then let's buy a phone
like McKee's some
tid. Forget it. Accord-
recent figures, a new
such as McKee's
cost in the neighbor-
hood of $750,000.
While the new system
would pay for itself in about
seven years, the opportunity
costs would be high. In other
words, the 3/4 of a million
dollars could be better spent
The Ooltewah-Coltegedale Telephone Company own
on scholarships or just keep-
ing SMC financially afloat.
"Why can't SMC be served
by Southern Bell since our
phone company is so expen-
sive and gives such poor
service?" asked Frank
Roman, junior journalism
major. The reason is simple,
yet complicated.
When Southern Junior Col-
lege (now SMC) moved to the
Collegedale area, no phone
system existed. The college
first laid phone lines to
Ooltewah in 1917 for the initial
service, then later purchased
and constructed phojie lines to
Chattanooga for better ser-
in 1950 Horace Vaughan
purchased the franchise ri
to provide telephone servici
the Collegedale-Apison-
Oolfewah area. The present
company is owned by the
founder's daughter and
son-in-law. The franchise
that Vaughan originally
bought cannot be revoked
except in cases of gross mis-
management.
So as long a
the phone
company provide
s reasonable
service, they have this area as
their exclusive
monopoly.
South Central
Bell cannot
provide service
this area
because it is
not their
territory.
Will their ever
be improve-
ments in our ph
one system?
According to Edwin Walker,
local manager of the phone
company, a new digital
switching system is on the
drawing boards. The new
system would speed transfer
of calls and improve the
quality of all calls covered by
the Ooltewah-CoUegedale
phone company.
But don't hold your breath.
Ihe new swtching station is
supposed to be completed in
the fall of 1982. Construction
has not yet begun.
One last consolation. "With
the phone equipment SMC
has," commented Kenneth
Spears, associate business
manager at SMC, "no better
phone service could be ex-
pected."

There are two rules of
Journalistic tradition that
prompt the absence of names
being attached with articles.
First, editorials do not
attach the author's name or
initials so as to convey an
opinion— not a personality.
Second, bylines are given as
a reward to article authors
whose material does not have
to be heavily edited or re-

SMCs gradual changes: for the best?
[\Ayes
1 first came to CoUegedale
in 1945 as an academy stu-
dent, graduated from SMC in
1951 , and joined the faculty in
1965. I have observed many
changes through the years and
believe they have been for the
best.
There have been changes in
physical facilities. In 1945 the
college buildings consisted of
Lynn Wood Hall. Jones Hall,
the old wooden Taige Hall,
and the tabernacle.
Academy as well as college
classes met in Lynn Wood,
where the chapel, library, and
music studios were also locat-
ed. The cafeteria was in the
cheerless Jones Hall base-
ment. The tabernacle, smaller
at that time, served as both a
church and a gym.
Physical education classes
sometimes had to take a walk
around the campus instead of
using the gym, which was
often needed for church func-
tions. The present gym with
its many recreational facili>
ties, including swimming and
racquetball.is quite a contrast.
We now have facilities com-
pleted or under construction to
provide each division with its
own distinctive area. The ar-
chitecture of the buildings and
the garden-like landscaping
bespeak of Southern hospital-
There have been changes in
the curriculum. In 1945 not a
single course was offered in
the following disciplines in
which we now have majors:
Nursing, art, computer sci-
ence, radio/TV/film. social
work, and sociology. Only two
courses were offered in psy-
chology and physical educa-
tion and only one in Industrial
arts. Offerings were meager i
Students
have much wider opportuni-
The students who gradua-
ted at the time I attended SMC
are now primarily ministers,
educators, businessmen, or
secretaries. In addition to
preparing for service in these
areas, the approximately 400
graduates who now leave SMC
each year are ready to take
jobs in many other fields.
Some of these include tech-
nical and professional nurs-
ing, construction, mainten-
ance, computer programming,
medical technology, broad-
casting, and journalism. Many
other students take pre-pro-
fessional courses and continue
their education elsewhere, es-
pecially in paramedical fields.
There have been changes in
our student body. In 1945
there were 219 college stu-
dents, almost all of them from
the South. This contrasts with
an average enrollment of 2000
over the last three years.
Minorities are now represent-
ed, and over 40% of our
'^f^T T ^'""^ ''^^^' out-
side the Southern Union or
from foreign countries This
gives the students an opnor
tumty to become acquainted
with and understand people
from dissimilar backgrounds.
I am glad that the changes
at SMC have resulted in better
physical facilities, a broader
cumculum, a student bod
more representative of a
international church, and
larger number of students an
graduates.
I understand that my as-
signment is to point out ways
in which I think the "good old
days" here at SMC were
better than the present-
changes on our campus that
are not for the best. For a loyal
Sojuconian and SMC fan. that
is a hard order. In some
respects I feel like Balaam
when he was asked to curse
Israel. He replied, "How shall
I curse whom God hath not
cursed?"
So let it be understood that
in mentioning some changes I
feel may not be for the best, I
am aware that none of these
changes are altogether bad.
There are some good features
to be found in each of them.

called a large college, its
present enrollment is large in
comparison with enrollments
of the early 1920s. The "good
old days" were better because
students and faculty were
more like a family: we knew
each other and our teachers
better than is possible in a
larger group.
The rules and regulations of
the 1920s did not seem greatly
oppressive to most of us-
aithough we recollect some of
them with a smile. And
though students now may be
allowed more personal respon-
sibility for their conduct and
are given more opportunity to
assume the risks of their own
decisions, many of the con-
straints of those early years
provided the matrix for a more
settling development of char-
acter during the still imma-
ture years of youth.
Wc had a beautiful fruitful
valley in those days, blessed
with grain and grass, cows
and chickens, fruit and flow-
ers. We still have a beautiful
valley and one of the most
beautiful campuses in our
land. Some things have been
lost; others have been gained.
SMC has not been immune to
the economic, technological,
social, and educational
changes of more than half a
century.
Whereas it was necessary
for most students of my day to
earn alt or most of their
expenses in college through
employment provided by the
college, we now live in days of
easy cash from home or easy
student loans (in spite of the
tightening of eligibility crite-
ria). And whereas students of
my day frequently lacked time
to study because the demands
of the business office, or
saving of the crop, or the
finishing of a job in the shop
required them to put in over-
time, too often today studies
may be neglected, not because
students do not have an
abundance of time, but be-
cause they have not learned to
discipline themselves and
make a proper assignment of
time for the pursuit of know-
ledge and the pursuit of
pleasure.
Few students owned auto-
mobiles in my day. Now
special parking must be pro-
vided for those who need or
think they need cars or motor-
cycles. This fact, coupled with
the freedom to go and come
with little restraint, accentu-
ate the problem of the wise
use of time for today's stu-
dents.
Most students of my day
depended largely on the cafe-
teria for their food at regularly
scheduled mealtimes. Now
food is accessible at all hours
of the day, tending to irregular
eating habits and eating be-
tween meals.
Physical exercise for most
students of my day was ob-
tained in useful work. While
the work sometimes (if it was
sedentary) did not provide
much physical exercise, most
students accomplished a use-
ful and financially profitable
piece of work which was
satisfying to comtemplate.
The games we play today to
obtain physical exercise, while
often more intense and physi-
cally rewarding, cannot bring
the soul satisfaction that
comes from useful work.
In the pursuit of useful
work, we early students
learned the value of coopera-
tive effort. Especially in the
cultivation of the soil and
together eating the harvest,
students and faculty experien-
ced the feeling of belonging to
a worthwhile community and
to one another.
Too often today, even in
intramural sports, the desire
and effort to become dominant
is the consuming goal and
polarizes us into winners and
losers.

The eternal word
This book contains the mind
of God, the state of man, the
way of salvation, the doom of
sinners, and the happiness of
believers. Its doctrines are
holy, its precepts are binding,
its histories are true, and its
decisions are immutable.
Read it to be wise, believe
in if to be safe, and practice it
to be holy. It contains light to
direct you, food to support
you, and comfort to cheer you.
It is the traverler's map, the
pilgrim's staff, the pilot's
compass, the solider's sword,
and the Christian's charter.
Here paradise is restored,
heaven opened, and the gates
of hell disclosed. Christ is its
grand object; our good, its
design; and the glory of God,
its end. It should fill the
memory, rule the heart, and
guide the feet.
Read it slowly, frequently,
and prayerfully. It is a mine of
wealth, a paradise of glory,
and a river of pleasure. It is
given you in life, will be
opened in judgement, and be
remembered forever.
It involves the highest res-
ponsibility, will reward the
greatest labor, and will
condemn alt who trifle with its
sacred contents.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico{CH)-
The largest branch of the
University of Puerto Rico
remains closed following a
student strike over a tripling
of tuition this fall.
Students reacted violently
when the university raised its
tuition this fall for the first
time in 31 years. To protest
the jump from S5 to S15 per
credit hour, throusands of
students joined a strike called
by the General Student
Council. They successfully
disrupted the few classes that
were held until university
governing board closed down
the campus October I.
The closing came after shots
were fired and a maintenance
worker was injured during a
confrontation between campus
security and the striking stu-
dents. Each side claims the
other is responsible for firing
the shots.
University officials say in-
federal and local
student aid will offset the
tuition hike for any needy
students. University President
Ismael Almodovar told the
New York Time the tuition
increase will cost each student
only $50 more than last year.
The revenue is badly needed,
officials also say, to maintain
UPR's accreditation by im-
proving deficiencies in phy-
sical facilities and the library
system.
Student Council members
agree the additional money is
needed, but believe any in-
crease should be based on
each student's ability to pay,
not on a flat tuition hike.

office, the Rio Piedras campus

clearer focus: "You can't go

Leafing through pages of
my old '61 Soulhern Memories
vividly reminded me of the
numerous kaleidoscopic tran-

standing circa 1961 and on-

blade and steel wrecking ball,
making way for larger, more
modern Southern Colonial red

existed in "Happly Valley"

the hill to occupy the vacancy.

man year in 1978. I thought it
would be interesting to read
and besides. I couldn't think
of anything to write about this
Have you ever thought how
many times a computer has
made your life simpler? For
instance, your student ID card
saves a lot of time fumbling
around with money. The ID
card can also help you psycho-
logically. Say you are walking
from the cafe to your eight

question: Was that her hair or
a teased haystack on her
head? Sometimes, only her
hairdresser knew for sure.
Guys sported pencil-thin
neckties, very tapered pants,
narrow-Iapeled suite without
vests, and a lot of skin
showing through their flat-top
haircuts.
With the exception of the
lobby and lounges, "Lights
out" in dorms was 10:30 on
weeknights and 11 p.m. on
Saturday. Public courting of
the opposite sex was generally
frowned upon and an open
display of affection was a
definite no-no (if you were
caught).
Romance, if practiced (and
it was!), was cultivated sur-
reptitiously among the sha-
dows, in a darkened parked
car on campus (if a student
was lucky enough to have one)
and occasionally the long line
of bushes paralleling the road
in front of the music and
library buildings seemed to
come alive under the exertions
of clandestine clinching
couples.
Guys ALWAYS asked the
girls for dates, the only excep-
tion being the Ladies' Recep-
tion Banquet held every other
year. Couples wishing to make
an evening on the town never
'eft without the extra female
chaperone present and ac-
o'clock class and your hair is a
mess. Pull out your ID card
and take comfort in the fact
that your hair could never look
as bad as it does in that
picture.
Computers also make life in
the classroom easier. Instead
of giving the ole "take out a
sheet of paper" quiz, the
teacher hands out computer
sheets for you to use. It's not
ail that much easier for the
student, but it saves the
teacher a lot of grading time
which he uses to think up
more work. The fun thing
about these sheets is fdling in
your name. First, you spell out
your name in the blocks
provided, then blacken the
corresponding letters be-
neath. Now connect these dots
by drawing a line through
each one. from the first letter
to the last. It usually takes
form of an animal or promi-
nent faculty member. They
call this computer science.
When you get out of your
eight o'clock class, if it's
Tuesday or Thursday, you join
in the exodus to the church for
chapel. On the way in, some-
one, usually a computer dis-
guised as a student, hands you
a computer attendance card.
They are pretty simple to fill
out. At first 1 had trouble
remembering my ID number.
It's easier for me now, be-
cause it equals the number of
hours I have to stand in line at
the CK.
After chapels I come back to
my room and study. Once I
had a thought, "Wouldn't it
be neat if I could study by
plugging my brain into a
computer, then lay down and
get some sleep." But some
people have already beaten
me to this idea. Have you ever
seen people sleeping in class
with their heads down on top
of their books? The same
principle applies.
Last week 1 went down to
Taco Bell. My credit must
have been bad, because they
wouldn't accept my student ID
card. 1 have to use (excuse the
expression) "cash." (One of
those four-letter words around
SMC.)

article, I'm about to climb into

with mixed company going

leaves.
Memories flood back of
socials, films and other Satur-
day night occasions where
couples who had enough nerve
to brave the sidewalk stroll in
front of Talge Hall-destina-
tion Tabernacle-'Often felt as
if they were "walking the
Gauntlet" as the guys in the
dorm thundered down the
catcalls, wolf whistles and
other sly subtleties and in-
nuendos. The rule was: eyes
straight ahead and keep walk-
ing (and you'll settle the score
later with those turkeys!)
Despite the stringent rules
and regulations on dating back
then, our stunted social lives
managed to thrive and flour-
ish. We still managed to meet,
match up, mate; and, sooner
or later, marry.
Intramural sports in the 60's
at SMC closely resembled that
of the 80's, possibly played in
a little different order during
the year (flag ball, basketball,
volleyball, softball;tennis any-
time, as weather permitted).
WSMC-FM in 1961 was a

lage, or staying in your room
studying books or the wall-
paper.
Going to Chattanooga took a
little longer in the 60's. There
was no Interstate 24 bypass.
For a change in the menu from
the College Cafeteria or C.K.,
the main hangout was "Mr.
Fifteen," a burger/fries/
shake "greasy spoon" eatery.
(The name gives you some
idea of what inflation has done
to the price of a hamburger).
Another gastronomical de-
light for a faithful few who
took their eating seriously
involved fasting a day or so,
then loading into one's heap
and heading for a little speak-
easy in RossviJle where, for
$1.25, a collegian could belly

Festival outlined
SA's Fall Festival Week
shapes up like this:
Wednesday. October 28 will
be "60's day;" wear your
1%0's best all day or anything
from times past and eras long
ago (except, of course. Adam
and Eve's first outfit).
Thursday is scheduled as
"Nerd Day;" yes, the annua!
ambush of hornrims, slicked
hair, and superfluous
academic utensils, or however
you feel like interpreting nerd
costuming. Anything goes but
skin <at least certain portions).
Friday has been appointed
"Variety Day;" western wear
should be popular, but, as the
name indicates, anything from
historical characters to adver-
tisement products will be
acceptable. Use your hand-
me-downs and imagination, or
dress your very best. Who
cares?
To ensure the weekend's
exciting, grab a date for
Saturday nighl and head for
the party at the Student Park.
(The limit on the time taken
for the walk to the park is set
at 1'/] hours. Please abide by
that, stringent though it may
be.)
Expect all sorts of surprises,
but you may count on lots of
good food, fun, relaxation,
mingling and a great film.
Costume judging at the
party will be divided into three
main categories: 1) 1 960' s and
other eras. 2) Nerd, and 3)
Variety.
In each category there will
be a first prize of $25, a second
prize of $15. and a third prize
of $10— plus a grand prize of
$50 which may or may not go
to a previous prize-winner.
A bonfire for warming, look-
ing, staring or marshmallows
(bring coathangers) burns
expectantly in Saturday
night's party plans.
To regress a bit. we must
mention the picnic supper
scheduled for Tuesday even-
ing, October 27. from 6 to 7
p.m. No formal program is
planned, but plenty of "blar-
ing music" should provide a
nice atmosphere for some
informal mingling and mixing.
(Wow. like, gel the rap with
that nice woman or man
you've had your eye on.) The
picnic will wind down about
7:30 p.m.
That's SA Fall Festival

The results from. the 1981

■ have been received by the
Inursing division of Southern
IMissionary College. The pass-
ing rate of SMC students was
|'2%. 12% higher than the
Itaiional average, which Chris
■ Perkins, head of the nursing
Ijivision. considers "excel-
|lent."
Perkins attributes the high
[^»res, for which SMC was

Plaie Board of Nursing, large-
I > '0 changes made in their
'«Aing approach and testing
methods.
j'^kws also feels that
"C's unique remedial pro-
^m IS partially responsible
f the success. All nursing
students are given a compre-
hensive examination on which
a score of 40% must be earned
before they are eligible to
write the board exams. Those
who score below 40% have the
choice of either dropping out
of the nursing program or
entering into the remedial
work which is a semester-long
intensified review of all nurs-
ing aspects. Those students
scoringbelow 75% on remedi-
al work are dropped from the
program. Other colleges, ac-
cording to Perkins, generally
drop students automatically it
the pre-graduation compre-
hensive exams are not passed.
In 1978, SMC had a State
Board failure rate high enough
to warrant its beuig placed in
"conditional approval" by the
State of Tennessee. As of
January 1982. the nursing
division will be back to full

this return is well deserverd.
Fall Festival
celebrations:
October 28 —
October 31
by Greg Culpeppe
Lance Martin, a junior bus-
iness major at Southern Mis-
sionary College, was fired on
Tuesday, October 27, because
of a letter to the editor that
appeared in the October 22
issue of the Southern Accent.
A desk worker for Talge
Hall until his recent dismissal,
Martin had indicated in his
letter that the men's residence
hall suffered from a roach
problem that the "faculty of
the dorm have been handling
rather poorly..."
Assistant Dean of Men Ron
Qualley notified Martin of the
decision to release him from
the dorm's employment.
Qualley states that, "Any-
time someone works for some-
one else he should support
that employer and establish-
ment he works for. This
problem should be discussed
one to one, not in public."
When asked if he thought
firing Martin was too drastic
of action. Qualley answered.
"No. I don't. I've talked to
Lance and he agreed with me.
The problem is serious enough
not to overlook."
Martin denied the alle/ja-
tions that he had agreed with
the action taken by saying, 1
don't agree with the dean's
decision. He has a right to
fire, but not because of the
expression of conditions that
do exist in the dorm."
The former desk worker
described what prompted his
letter. "One night when 1 was
working. 1 found a roach in the
bottom of my water mug." he
Dean of Students Everett
Schlisner defended Qualley's
decision. "Certain things you
can say in public and certain
things you can't." Schlisner
insisted. "This would have
been better to be left alone."
As for the roach problem,
Schlisner explained. "His
(Martin's) letter aggravated
us because we are doing all we
can to curtail the problem and
he knows it. We sprayed the
entire dorm twice this sum-
mer, with the drawers out and
everything." He concluded
by saying. "We now are
waiting for a dry chemical to
arrive so we can try that."
Perhaps roaches will soon
be just a memory. In the
meantime, though, Martin has
no job and the roaches con-
tinue to live.
2/SOUTHERN ACCENT/October 29, 1981
o
Studying wati some wo/ie
Traditionally, Adventists have avoided military enlistment. If
they are swept in by the draft, most will register as
1-AO— medical work but conscientious objection to beanng
Disregarding traditionalism, may I direct your attention to
two other views?
War is immoral. Period. Any support I give the military,
whether financially, medically or otherwise, is to give my brand
of condonement to one of Satan's cruelest devices for aiding the
planned destruction of the morals of men.
Medical help is one essential part of the total war machine. If
I register as a medic I have become a part of the war.
As for the Sabbath problem, does it matter whether I'm
fighting the war in the hospital or on the front? No matter
where I work, I'm still fighting and breaking the Sabbath
simultaneously.
There were wars in Old Testament times in which God
supported a particular side, but He was in direct communication
with His people and could dictate their next move.
Furthermore, God is the eternal judge and can read the
hearts of men. He could guarantee that the cities destroyed
were full of men who had hardened their hearts against Him
and could not be saved.
In modem war, we cannot know the hearts of the men we kill.
Think of the implications of ending the life of a non-Christian
who, if allowed to live, would have given his heart to Christ.
Didn't Christ say that we should love our enemies? How can
we love someone whom we are seeking to destroy?
Finally, as Christians we should have enough faith to trust
God to protect us from the non-Christian countries aggresively
seeking to dominate our lives.
I am a proud patriotic American. I will render unto Caesar
the things that arc Caesar's unless it interferes with the law of
God— in this case: "Thou shalt not kill."
When it comes to war, you can count me out.
Hand me my gun.
Ever since sin entered the worid, war has been a part of our
lives. I cannot avoid it.
Even God. in Israel's ancient Theocratic government,
directed warfare against heathen nations. Startling enough, all
of these wars weren't defensive.
Today I face the decision of how I will regard the military and
my duty to the United States of America.
Several times in the New Testament Christ quoted the
commandment, "Thou shalt not kill."
There are two Greek words that can be used to mean putting
to death. One means "kill" while the other means "murder."
In every instance when Christ quoted the commandment, he
used the word for "murder."
To bear arms in just defense of our country and aim at the
enemy is not murder.
Very few people call it murder when the executioner flips the
switch that sends power to the electric chair of a convicted
criminal. Why call it murder when you shoot the man who has
joined the ranks of a country that is unjust and fails to pursue
peace or human rights.
As for Sabbath problems, notice the precedence set by the
Children of Israel, under the leadership of God, in biblical
times. (Read in Joshua about the battle of Jericho and see on
what day the war reached its peak with the slaughter of the
city 5

We live in a world full of paradoxes. For instance, God never
intended for man to kill animals, yet he allowed Noah and
generations after to do so for food. God wasn't inducing Noah to
sin. He was coping with the paradox of sin in a world that was
designed to be sinless.
What if Adventists had a "bumper crop" year in evangelism
and half of the U.S. citizens became Adventists? Would the
country's defenses falter? Perhaps we would just call a truce on
Sabbaths.
We could allow sin to run its course and insane humanity to
continue to torture and murder innocent men, women and
children.
Almost every American (Adventist or not) regards our
servicemen as heroes. Why? If it's so wrong, why join the

When my name is called and I'm needed on the front, my
conscience forces me to say, "Hand me my gun."
Although I hesitate to admonish anyone as to which of these
two views is the best, I feel that being attached to one logical
view has more merit than walking the fence with the traditional
Adventist philosophy.
Either you participate in war— or you don't. To half heartedly

Dear Editor:
Today I went to chapel like I
always do on Thrusdays and
sat my regular six rows back
from the middle of the church.
Everything was great until
after closing prayer. While
waiting patiently for my row to
be dismissed, I suddenly felt
like I was in a mad house.
Those who hadn't sat where
they would be dismissed first,
along with everybody else in
the whole place, bombarded
the cardtaker. The poor guy
gave up on putting girls' cards
in one hand, guys' in the
other. He did well to catch the
ones people threw as they
charged out.
I escaped from the stam-
pede with multiple bruises
and a crushed wrist— probably
from picking up a pencil 1
dropped.
Can't we stop the chapel
rampage— if not out of con-
sideration to others, for the
sake of reverence?

tee is offering $75 for the first
prize research paper, $50 for
second prize and $25 for third.
The deadline for submit-
ting your research paper has
been set for February 8, 1982.
The winners of the contest will

The sexual revolution has

College in the last 10 years.
We have seen these changes
(Occur in the career and social
roles, educational opportuni-
ties, and recreational activi-
One of the most recent
examples of changes in career
and social roles has been the
election of the first woman
judge to the Supreme Court,
Judge Sandra Day O'Connor.
Within our own school govern-
ment we have seen the elec-
tion of several women officers
to the Student Association.
We are now experiencing
changes within the social
aspect. The reversal of tradi-
tional roles in dating is one
obvious change.
The women of SMC are now
slowly taking the initiative of
asking men out and paying the
bill.
In the area of education a
iber of examples of the
revolution's effects can be
seen. Men are now included in
the SMC nursing program and
finding recognition in other
traditionally feminine fields
such as elementary education.
Another example would be
in the admission of men into
what once were strictly female
schools, such as cosmotology.
SMC is now admitting fe-
male students to majors of
construction and theology.
The third area that we
observe changes is in recrea-
tion. Intramural sports are
now becoming popular with
the female student body. Men
are not the only ones con-
cerned with physical fitness.
Considering these points,
we believe that the sexual
revolution has affected SMC.
We feel that in the future we
will see even more drastic
changes occurring within our
community.

Most of the students en-
rolled here come from good
Christian homes with high
standards and morals. We
have been taught since we
were young that sex was not
made for the back seat of an
MG on a Saturday night, but
rather as an intimate ex-
pression of the marriage rela-
tionship.
However, I am not so naive
to believe that there is no
sexual activity on this campus.
I'm sure that there is, yet It
does not compare to the
promiscuous attitude that is
prevalent at the majority of
the public universities.
To summarize. I feel that
though SMC's attitudes to-
ward relationships between
the sexes have undoubtedly
been affected by the se.\ual
revolution of the I960's and
'70's, we remain far above the
world's casual approach to
love and sex.

As with so many other
holidays, Christendom has
here also inherited the time of
the Hallowe'en celebration
from her pagan predecessors.
In the Christian church there
were feasts in both the west-
ern and eastern churches in
commemoration of all the
martyrs who had shed their
blood for Christ.
Exactly how this feast of all
martyrs (saints) came to be
celebrated on November 1 in
the West is not clear. Signifi-
cantly, the evidence point?; to
the beginning of this celebra-
tion of the martyrs on Novem-
I in Ireland, whence it
passed across to the north of
England and thus to the
European continent. Novem-
ber 2 is known in the church
calendar as All Souls Day, on
which day all the Christian
dead are remembered.
The choice of this day is
traditionally attributed to St.
Odilo. the fifth Abbot of
Cluny, as a day when prayers
should be said for the dead.
Throughout the Middle Ages
it was popular belief that the
souls suffering in purgatory
could appear on this day as
will-o'-the-wisps. witches,
toads, etc., especially to per-
sons who had wronged them
during their life.

October 29, 198I/SOUTHERN ACCENT/7
by Laurie Loga
It all began with the move
from Jones Hall.
I had been thinking about
those poor guys ever since the
transition received public ac-
claim on the front page of the
Accent. As I was lying in bed
the other night, I had a sudden
jn-jniratioP Whv the schnnl
could save loads of money if
they would just follow this
pattern a bit more and shift
everything around. Excitedly,
I began to form the plan in my
mind.
First of all, the men needed
to get out of Jones and in with
the boys in Talge. When this
was completed, perhaps the
biology department could oc-
cupy the vacated dorm, thus
prnvidine each specimen with
its own room. After all, as
claimed in the bulletin, SMC
is non-discriminatory.

name them after two of her
suitors and place them in the
fire If the nut burned quieth
and brightly, it was a sign of
Next, something simply had
to be done about the women.
They have each been clam-
oring for their own washer and
dryer, saying that that was all
they had even wanted out of
college to begin with. They, of
course, would be relocated at
the plaza laundromat. I
thought happily how excited
each of them would be when
they could look forward to a
whole existence of doing noth-
ing but laundering their de-
signer jeans.
Student Finance, of course,
would move into Thatcher
Hall, whose mile-long corri-
dors would be ideal for the
equally lengthy lines that are
known to exist around Wright
Hall. Several snack bars in-
stalled along the way at stra-
tegic points would prevent the
students from starving while
waiting.
I reflected for a while on
these changes. I couldn't
really see where the economy
had improved any, but per-
haps the right changes had not
yet been made. I tried to think
if there was anything around
that the college could possibly
do without. Naturally, I
thought of the CK. Out of the
millions of dollars expended
each month for groceries,
surely a few sacrifices could
be made in this area. Perhaps
our Arabian friends a few
doors down would be interest-
ed in sharing our oil resour-
ces. I wondered how much the
phone company would charge
for a long distance call to the
sheiks.
The only problem with all
the rearranging was that I
wasn't sure just how the
college benefitted from it.
Sure, I had rejocated every-
one; but the buildings were
still in use.
Then I remembered the
age-ole saying, "Two can live
as cheaply as one." If the
college would just use one
large building, like Thatcher,
for a combined dorm, dining
hall and multi-purpose class-
room, everything else could be
shut down. The savings would
be astronomical, the students
would be delighted, and, best
of all. no one would have to
give up the kind of community
spirit that exists when a group
is put together. How positively

nowadays.
To the best of my know-
ledge, modern churches do
not make much of Hallowe'en
pro or con. Christianity has
always had a few oi the
Puritan type in its midst that
would disassociate themselves
from these wicked pagan as-
sociations. The Christian
genius at its best, however,
has not sought to abolish or
destroy pagan motifs if it
could infuse a new meaning
into the old symbols. When-
ever pagan symbols could be
readily assimilated to Chris-
tian views, thev have been
allowed to stand. Many of
these pagan symbols have so
completely lost their original
pagan significance that today
they are considered uniquely
Christian.
Here we have a wide open
and relatively safe field for the
exercise of sanctified imagin-
ation. Some Christian groups
collect canned goods for the
needy- Others pay "spook"
visits to the elderly and the
lonely. Christians throughout
the ages have substituted for
pagan practices whatever is
wholesome, uplifting or pious
and in accord with the Chris-
tian faith.
Seventh-day Adventists
stand in and continue this long
Christian tradition and. in this
light, a reading of Advenlist
Home 472-82 is quite inter-
esting on the Christian cele-
bration of holidays. In the final
analysis, it is people of faith
who give meaning to the
Christian life and symbols are
merely tools at their disposal
with which they express that
faith.
The negative pagan associa-
tions of this holiday expressed
originally the presence of
malevolent disembodied
spirits that could do great
harm. The Christians baptized

How do you feel the sexual revolution has
affected SMC students?
Barry Tryon, senior, theology. Marietta, GA: I thought the
sexual revolution occurred in the 60's, therefore its impact is
felt very moderately on the SMC campus.
Jay Brand, senior, psychology, Louisville. KY: The sexual
revolution was marked by living together and orgies, neither of
which have affected SMC students.
Paula Grubbs. freshman, nursing. Knoxville. TN: I think that

SMC to change its name
Southern Missionary Col-

name within the next year. At
the last board meeting, the
name change issue was placed
on the agenda for the Febru-
ary, 1982 board meeting. Ad-
ministration officials seem
confident a new name will be
selected and passed.
The college has been con-
sidering the possible altera-
tion of the name for years, but
a variety of factors seems to
have brought the issue to a
head. First, the name "mis-

November 5. 1981
A committee has been ap-
pointed by SMC to consider
possible names. Such names
as Southern College or South-
eastern College have been
considered, but many would
like the school named after a
historical Adventist figure in-
stead of SMC's geographical,
location.
The addition of "adventist"
or "union" to SMC's new
name has been all but ruled
out because of the negative
connotations with people not
connected with the school.
But whatever name is de-
cided on, it will not be the first
in SMC's history. The fore-
runner of SMC, Graysville
Academy, was founded in
1892. Four years later, the
name was changed to South-
ern Industrial School because
of the planned industries that
would help students pay their
way through .school.
The industries never came
to Graysville, so in 1904, the
school was renamed Southern
Training School. In 1916 the
school moved to CoUegedale
and received another name.
Southern Junior College.
The present name has been
with us since about 1945 when
SMC received its senior col-
lege status.

Where do you draw the line on freedom of the press in a
student newspaper? I would like to suggest three guidelines for
iudging whether a story should, or should not, be published m a
college publication-particularly an Adventist college publica-
T. Stories should cover happenings that are relevant and are
of student concern or interest.
2 Stories should be published that cover issues not intending
to harm individuals. Most stories should have a principle at
stake— not a person.
3. News stories should not be cut because of any reason other
than not adhering to the above two guidelines.
In the case of DePaul, the rape story will cause some students
to be wary and cautious. Perhaps the outrage caused by the
campus rape will defer further occurances of a similar nature.
Finally, the story will become well known, regardless of
whether or not it appeared in the newspaper. Publication will at
least insure that students hear facts, not rumors.
Fortunately, University President John Richardson vetoed
the lower administralors ruling. As a result, the newspaper
finally was distributed a week late. At least it was distributed.

3. The Reasoning Letter:
This letter clearly defines the
"issues" (often comparing
jeans with other pants) and
ends with a ringing appeal
that good sense and unpreju-
diced judgement be used to
resolve the matter.
4. The Intellectual Letter:
This letter is a masterpiece of
profound thinking. A former
vear's Accent contained one
such letter that described, in
masterful prose, the historical
development of ideas in West-
ern civilization (evidently the
process is different in Eastern
civilization) and caught up the
SMC blue jeans controversy in
its bold sweep. Errors and
misconceptions were solidly
refuted, including the belief
that wearing jeans lowers
scholastic performance.
In fact, the writer stated, at
Walla Walla he wore jeans
and made much higher grades
than he did at SMC where he
could not wear jeans. What
this probably means is that an
"A" at SMC means more than
an "A" at Walla Walla.
The book could begin with a
foreword by Mrs. Moore and
end with an essay on the
future of the blue jeans con-
troversy.
I look forward to seeing
more "jeans letters" to the
editor. However, anyone who
wishes to respond to my letter
by writing (1) a refutation, (2)
a refutation of a refutation, or
(3) a letter which attempts to
escape being one of the four
main types, should send the
letter directlv to me at Talee
105. '
These letters will undoubt-
edly be even funnier than the
previously described types of
letters, and I want to enjoy
them firsthand before publish-
ing them for the enjoyment of
others.
Sincerely yours.

Just a short letter to express
an opinion on Lisa Ohman's
article on the Sexual Revolu-
tion at SMC.
My Dear Ms. Ohman: a
well written article, except for
one minor detail— MG's don't
have back seats; unless, of
course, on some nocturnal
expidition to Chattanooga
International Airport, you
have discovered something
the rest of us don't know
about, or that the manufac-
turers did-not include in their
final design.
Hmmmm.
Sure you don't wanna re-
state your opinion?
Sarcastically yours.

Dear Editor;
I was dismayed when I saw
two guys walking around in
lady's apparel. Where are our
standards?
I was also upset by the mini-
skirts being worn on campus. I
really feel that we should not
let our standards down for
even one day. We are sup-
posed to be a Christian school.
Some will say that it was all
in fun, but we don't need that
kind of fun. We can have fun
within limits.

Dear Editor:
It seems that Administra-
tion of SMC, and the Sttident
Association as well, has be-
come rather dogmatic in the
handling of complaints.
Several weeks ago, I wrote a
letter voicing my opinion
about the improper way in
which the village senator run-
off elections were conducted.
This is a serious charge but as
yet has received no reply from
either the S.A. or the Admini-
sttation. Perhaps this is reflec-
tive of the general feeling of
apathy toward government
that is prevalent in our society
Now it seems that another
step has been taken in dealing
with dissenters. Someone has
been fired because he has
used the student voice (South-
em Accent) to make his opin-
ion known.
It seems to me that what
this student did was entirely
within the limits of accepta-
bility. After all, he did not
write a letter to the editor of
the Chattanooga Times in an
effort to "tear down" SMC.
Rather, he spoke out about a
very real problem that needs
more attention than it has
been getting.
This attitude of ignoring or
firing dissidents is reminis-
cent of an earlier American
President's handling of people
and problems and it is not
consistent with values of a
Christian school or the educa-
tional philosophy as stated in
the 1981-82 catalog.
I am grateful that I am not
employed by SMC if this is the
typical response to be ex-
pected when one expresses a
difference of opinion. I have
been as blunt as possible in
writing this letter in the hope
that 1 might get a responsible
reply. If there is none, then I
will be convinced there is
definitely a problem to be
dealt with.
Sincerley,
Stephen R. Morris
P.S.I'm REAL finicky.
Dear Editor:
Fortunately. I am one of
those lucky people who is
taking secretarial courses. By
doing this, I can use the
typewriters in Lynn Wood
Hall. But— woe is me if I
should happen to need to type
something on a Sunday, Mon-
day or Wednesday night
(when the typing lab is
closed). If I do. I have to fight
with one of those i
the library basement.
After waiting a half an hour
to get a typewriter (because
halfofthem aren't working), it
takes me twice as long to type
whatever I'm typing because
of the poor condition the
"working" typewriters are in.
My purpose in writing this
isn't just to gripe. I know there
are many others who have this
problem, too. They're in the
library right now.
Why can't a school that just
added that beautiful fine arts
complex put forth a few
dollars so that we can have
decent typewriters to type
presentable papers on? I know
those typewriters get a lot of
wear and tear, but the ones
down there are very old model
IBM's. Can something be
done about them?

Student senate continues
The second SA Senate
meeting witnessed several
working goals being voted in
by the Student Senate. A
finance committee, a judiciary
committee, an elections com-
mittee, a phone committee,
and a "jeans" committee
were voted in and accepted.
Senator Jim Walson and
Senator Ken Rozell analyzed
the phone problems in their
reports on the centrex system
here at SMC. The phone
committee, consisting of Sena-
tors Watson. Rozell, Les Mat-
thewson. Ken Bradley and
Richard Fischer will be inves-

which has a maximum capaci-
ty of 42 centrex numbers
talking to 42 other centrex
numbers at once, or the
purchase of another internal
system for the college.
An elections committee in-
cluding Senators Sylvia Solis,
Fischer, and Doug Gates will
be overseeing all election pro-
cedures for SA officers for the
1982-83 school year. These
elections will be held in Feb-
ruary.
The SA finance committee
will give observations and
suggestions concerning how
best to use the SA budget for
the present school year. The
committee includes Senators
Rhonda Champion, Matthew-

Suggestions and appraisals
concerning appropriateness

displayed various moves of
strength, balance and agility
through their dance and tum-

The gym team left Denmark
for their annual American tour
October 16 and will complete
it on November 14 after stops
in some seven states. Team
members belong to private
sports clubs in Denmark and
have paid their own ways to
America. Coaches Karin and
Martin Damgaard accompan-
ied the team on the tour.
The program consisted of
the boys performing various
vaults and tumbling exercises,
at times in rapid succession,
which had some spectators on
the edges of their seats.
The girls engaged them-
selves in different dance
movements, varying from the
contemporary to ballet.
The two teams also com-
bined their talents in the lively
performance of some tradi-
tional Danish folk dances.

masturbation since 1 was a

self-degrading effects.
Which view you decide to
choose is up to you. God will
help you if you feel as though
you have a problem and want
to overcome it. Continue to
pray each day.
Also, there are some excel-
lent books on overcoming "sin
problems" that have been
written, such as Help Lord, 1
Blew It Again by Mike Jones.

Booth shares Mark
An October 30, Friday eve-
ning crowd of over two-
Ihousand packed into the Col-
tegedale Seventh-day Adven-
tist Church to witness actor
Eric Booth present the solo
performance of Si. Mark's
Gospel.
Using only a table and three
chairs for props, the casually
dressed Booth recited the
complete book of Mark from
memory. "We want to keep all
of the audience's attention-
right on the words of ths story
and not allow it to be diverted
by any type of theatrical
gimmickry," says the young
actor.
The one-man show was
originally created and per-
formed by Alec McCowen, a
well-known British actor.
When McCowen decided to
entrust his work to a younger
actor, more than 500 actors
"■ere auditioned for the role
before Booth was chosen.

greeted the performance re-

were there," remarks Kari
Jennett, a freshman from

seemed as if he was speaking

Booth attributes the fact that
his King James' words
"sound like everyday speech"
to his large classical acting
experience early in his career.

Actor Award acknowledges
that he's been well received

An eye for an eye: is capital punishment just?
§
The "eye for an eye" law
was a great improvement over
the prevailing situation when
it was given; when a person
put out someone's eye
accidentally or otherwise, he
was likely to get killed for
vengeance.
The only way something
could happen to the avenger
was for a cycle of vengeance (a
feud) to start; now with the
new law only an eye could be
taken for an eye.
Soon the legal conscious-
ness was improved further by
a simple restatement, "The
value of an eye for an eye."
The paying of financial com-
pensation for a ruined eye
does not restore the eye but
does make up for lost days of
work and fees for nursing
care, plus enough extra to
provide a comfortable diver-
sion and a sense of orderly
support in society.
The paying of a fine also
tends to induce a sense of
responsibility in the offender
and in others who hear of it.
This increased sense of
responsibility (carefulness) is
similar to that created by
threat of death or mutilation,
and this without society's
having to shoulder a death or a
second ruined eye.
This is an example of the
Scriptural attempt to replace
the largely unredemptive des-
truction brought by vengeance
with the constructive
principles of material compen-
sation for injuries repayment-
plus for stolen goods, rectifi-
cation by public confession —
plus fines for untoward acts,
indentured servitude for bank-
ruptcy, and having to walk in
the shoes of the wronged party
for a while.
These principles were to be
supplimented by the also-
constructive principles of
pardon granting on the one
hand and of exile or even of
pragmatic elimination (execu-
tion) on the other.
All these are legal provi-
sions for the good of society
and not demands for a society,
to exist and behave for the
good of a legal system, (inci-
dentally, nowhere in Scripture
is torture of any kind, whether
by mutilation or imprison-
ment, condoned.)
The Scriptures do demand
execution for malicious man-
slaughter, for kidnapping, and
for polluting sex with violence.
Execution is also presented
as a legal option for treason,
for extreme breach of
marriage contract , and for
extreme wastefulness and
truancy.
In none of these instances
does execution teach these
offenders a lesson; they learn
nothing by it!
Neither is the damage un-
done; that is not possible.
Execution merely
continuing threat to society—
both the possibility of criminal
recurrence, and the possibility
of others in society modeling
their actions from those of the
criminal.
Execution, then, is approp-
riate only as a pragmatic move
to control and not as an
attempt "to make something
right" for the sake of some
legal system.
The same principle of prag-
matic elimination should also
be expressed in such tech-
nological and legal innova-
tions as abortion, legislated
sterilization, socio-economic
means of population control
and euthanasia.
Traditional forms of
Judaism and Christianity are
against the principle of prag-
matic elimination, because
they tend to subscribe to the
unhelpful notion that the good
of society must be subservient
to the good of an absolute
legal system whose existence
is independent and above
society.
In Judaism this absurdity,
combined with belief ^
sacredness of human life in a
legal sense and in the absolute
sovereignty of God over life
and death, went to the ex-
treme of producing de facto
prohibition of execution,
though lip service was still
paid to those portions of
Scripture which advocate exe-
cution.
In Christianity this
went to the extreme of pro-
ducing the belief that the
pardoning of any harmful act
was only possible when a
vicarious atonement had satis-
fied the legal system.
Especially under present
world conditions of crime
waves and burgeoning popula-
tion, it is imperative that these
sacred cows be eliminated,
lest the societies who guard
them be eliminated by crime,
hatred, overcrowding, famine
plague, and war.
Any law not for the good of
society is without justification.
In each individual case in
which pragmatic elimination
seems to be an option, the
good of society must be the
guiding principle.
I
I don't believe in capital
punishment for five reasons.
First, capital punishment's
legality would leave the pos-
sibility of an innocent defen-
dant's being killed. Due to the
humanness of judges and
juries, circumstantial evidence
may, in very rare cases,
condemn an innocent party to
death.
And that possibility, remote
though it may be, should be a
very sobering thought to en-
forcers of such crime preven-
punishment of what we're
punishing for.
{To clarify the above reason:
self-defense or accident would
certainly be granted a more
lenient consequence than a
involving a psychopathic

An argument for a preven-

the simple fact that capital

murder would need to be

Also, degrees of murderer,
morally, would seem to be
necessary, such as "likely

Slowly the golden-haired
beetle makes her way across a
field in search of a home to lay
),er young. She knows it is
important to And a favorable
environment where food is
plentiful. Just ahead she no-
tices a long line of ants moving
i their way back to the colony.
Quickly she joins the proces-
sion and follows them to their
underground city.
The ants don't notice her at

I mains unnoticed until the ants
laccidently brush against her
land taste the sweet liquid that
she is excreting.
Once they taste of this
delicious secretion the colony
begins to die. The ants start to
neglect their duties and serve
the beetle. They do anything
for her as long as they
continue to receive her
sweets. Soon the whole colony
is serving the intruder and the
queen ant — the life of the
colony— is forgotten. It is only
a matter of time until she is
When the golden-haired
beetle lays her eggs, the
addicted servants take care of
them. When the beetle eggs
hatch, they are fed ant eggs to
keep them alive. The end of
the colony is near.
The final act is when the
ants begin to kill each other as
food for the beetles in order to
receive what their passions
desire. Soon the colony is dead
and the beetles move on.
Ants have long been point-
ed to as an example of
industrious, organized and
hardworking insects. Proverbs
points to them as an illustra-
tion for the slothful and lazy
but all can learn from them. In
addition to their good points,
we can also learn from the
ants' weaknesses. Even they
can be deceived when they
drop their guard.
The applications to us re-
garding the spiritual world are
evident. Though we may be
diligent workers for the Lord,
we must always be on our
guard against the temptations
of the devil.
As the beetle entered the
ant colony and gave them the
deadly, delicious liquid they
loved, so Satan can wiley come
to each of us and offer the
sweetest tasting things of the
world. But as with the ant
colony, the pleasures are only
for a season and brings in the
end, death.
The author of Proverbs
bids, "Go to the ant, . .

Angels to pin dance
BJT
How many angels can dance
on the head of a pin? The
answer to this question may
be in the making.
In 1970 Edward Wolf etched
100,000 angels on the head of
a pin. Each of the angels was
wearing a halo filled with gold
In the field of microelectro-
nics, recent research has dis-
covered a way of manipulating
single atoms. This technique,
known as molecular-beam epi-
taxy, can shoot a stream of
molecules at a surface; by
opening and closing the shut-
ters on the beam, scientists
can deposit layers as thin as a
single atom on their target.
With this new discovery the
question may again be raised
as to how many angels can
dance on the head of a pin.

Golf tips for the pros
The best tip 1
give anyone about golf without
a doubl would be:
DON'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT PLAYING THE
LOUSY GAME!!
Golf is the hardest, most
frustrating, humiliating, time
consuming, expensive game
I've ever tried to play. Why
anybody with an IQ over 27
would subject themselves to
the self torture and mental
anguish is beyond me. But if
you choose to ignore my most
important tip, read on.
Most golf instructors en-
courage their students to con-
centrate on basic funda-
mentals as they learn to play
golf.
1 . The Grip
•The golf club should be
held "tension free." If you put
a strangle hold on the club,
the arms become tense and
the effect will be a jerky, non-
flowing swing.
♦Hold the club primarily
with the last three fingers of
the left hand and the first
. three fingers of the right.
P *When you have taken your
grip, 2 '/i knuckles should
show on your left hand and the
thumb-forefinger "V" on the
right hand should be poinfing
to the inside of your right
shoulder.
2. Alignment
♦ Shoulders, hips and feet
should be lined up squarely to
the ball. Many beginning
golfers align their feet just
by Ted Ev;
fine but their hips are slightly
left of the target line and their
shoulders arc further left.
Correct ball position can be
a very influencing aspect of
correcting this problem.
Beginning golfers should
have a golf instructor check
their alignment.
3. Posture
•Knees and waist should
both have the proper amount
of flex. If a person has too
much flex in one knee, it will
usually result in too little flex
in the other.
•The knees should be
slightly flexed with the waist
flexed just enough so that
the arms hang naturally to the
proper grip position of the
club. This position should be
straight down from the eyes or
even a little back toward the
body.
(Now that you've got your
grip, alignment and posture in
correct position, you are ready
to swing the club.)
4. Rhythm
•The speed of the swing
(tempo) is not nearly as impor-
tant as is the rhythm of the
swing.The two key ingredients
stressed by most experts are
having a smooth, unhurried
transition at the to^ from back
swing to down swing and
have a one-piece take away.
•This means let the
shoulders, arms and hands all
move the club away from the
ball at the same time. The
upper body leads on the back
swing while the lower body
leads in the transition to the
down swing.
♦Rememberl You take the
club away. Do not be tempted
to pick the club up at any time
on the back swing.
5. Balance
•Golf is properly played
from the inside of the feet
throughout the swing until
after the ball has been con-
tacted.
At this point the weight
shifts to the outside of the left
foot. At address, your weight
should be equally distributed
on the insides of both feet.
At the top of the back
swing, the weight should be
on the inside-middle of the
right foot. The weight shift
should never be on the outside
of the left foot. This would
indicate that the golfer is
Use the inside of the right
leg and foot as a pivot point for
the swing.
•The left heel triggers the
down swing and the weight
shift from the inside of the
right foot to the outside of the
left.
•Do not allow the left foot to
spin out, and make sure when
you finish the swing your
weight is on the outside of
your left foot and your rieht
toe,

I Ihink it ironic that we had a
speaker on our campus a few
weeks ago who spent many
years in labor camps for
publishing things that the
authorities didn't agree with.
We respected his courage to
stand up to an unjust system.
Maybe we don't agree with
\^hat he stood up for. but we
applaud his defiance.
I don't want to say that we
here at SMC are hypocrites,
but there occurred an event
that has many parallels to
Alexander Ginzburg's case.
Of course, I'm referring to
Ihe way that the dorm
^^ministration h. ndled Lance
^artin't situation. He wrote a
'elterto the Accent, giving his
opinion of a situation, that I
"1 verify from personal
experience, exists.
Just the other day ! had to
arm wrestle our live-in roach
™ nghts to the shower.
'<«11ess to say, I went to
■^'^s without my after-bath-
splash.
Lance was sent packing to
the end of the unemployment
line. This is the one difference
in the stories of Martin and
Ginzburg. In Russia they work
their political prisoners. Here
at SMC we take away their
jobs.
I guess the administration
figures since we're all Adven-
tists they can take advantage
of us. It seems that our rights
end as soon as we pass Four
Corners. The last time I read
the Constitution (you know,
the thing that guarantees our
basic human rights) it said
something about freedom of
speech.
Some people say that
doesn't applv here on campus.
What would happen if some-
one came along and said that
freedom of religion doesn t
apply here in Happy Valley?
That's another one of those
rights we are guaranteed in
the First Amendment.
The sign of an intelligent
mind is an open mind. I would
like to quote from John Stuart
Mill "...But the peculiar evil
of silencing the expression of
an opinion is, that it is robbing
the human race; posterity as
well as the existing genera-
tion; those who dissent from
the opinion, still more than
those who hold it. If the
opinion is right, they —
deprived of the opportunity of
exchanging error for truth; if
wrong, they lose, what is
almost as great a benefit, the
clearer perception and livelier
impression of truth, produced
by its collision with error."
This may be my last column
for awhile, but don't worry. I
won't be lonely. Lance and I
are planning to start a dissi-
dents club.

second use for the doiia-
s collected by the develop-

ing campus facilities. Several
programs are now listed as
potential recipients. These
include renovating the old
music building for use by
another department, construc-
tion of the Fine Arts complex,
construction of an outside
entrance to the cafeteria and
renovation of the Campus
Kitchen.
McCIarty explains that the
use of the f^nds depends
largely on donor preference.
"A corporation must be con-
vinced of the uniqueness of
the program we wish to up-
grade." he says. Funds then
given will be appropriated for
the particular program which
Why do companies give
anything in the first place? It's
not completely a case of Mr.
Nice Guy. Law dictates that
corporations give a designated
amount to charities each year.
Although some get around
this law, there are still many
potential grants to seek.
One problem that McCIarty
struggles with is explaining
the name "Missionary" to
potenfial donors. Common
questions regarding the name
are "Are you accredited?' '
or "Are you a Bible college?"
Private donations include
those received fi-om the
annual fund appeal to
Southern Union constituents.

supply of Baygon, a 2% bait
insecticide, manufactured by
Mobay Chemical Corporation
in Kansas City, Missouri.
Evans experimented with
about half as much of the
chemical as is presently being

apartment, and reported a
story similar to
Isaiah's in chapter 37 verse

Baygon— which is a very
potent insecticide.
Qualley said that although
the chemical seems to work
nicely. 3 to 4 applications per
semester may be necessary to
keep the roaches under con-
trol. An experimental plan will
supply the RAs with some
Baygon, and they will exter-

supplied by the deans as often
as necessary in their respec-

The Board of Directors of
the American Psychological
Association (APA) recently
elected Dr. Gerald Colvin to
membership in the APA,
effective January 1. 1982.
Colvin came to SMC in 1972 as
chairman of the old Behavioral
Sciences department, in 1979
assumed leadership of the
interim Behavioral and Family
Sciences division, and in 1980
began managing the division
of Education and Human
Sciences.
As a bona fide member of
the APA, Colvin is required to
respect the dignity and worth
, of each person, while striving
for the preservation and pro-
tection of all fundamental
human rights.
"While expecting for my-
self freedom of inquiry and
communication," says Colvin,
"I also accept the responsi-
bility this freedom requires:
competence, objectivity in the
application of skills, and con-
cern for the best interests of
clients, colleagues, students,
research participants, and
society."

The Student Association at SMC is generally viewed as a form unison,
of coordination for publications, programs and a few studen
services. Student government is restricted to a tew well
meaning students who make up the senate, a figurehead more
than a working political power.

To say that this year's advisers use
government defeating tools would be absurd. I have rarely
such a group of students and faculty working together so well as
this year's SA officers and their advisers.
The fact remains, however, that there is no form of student
government at SMC. As long as the final power behind the SA is
not a part of the SA itself, then we may indeed confess that the
only purpose this association has is to coordinate activities,
something that could probably be done with fewer officers and
less expense.
I am not so naive as to suggest that the students be allowed to
rule themselves. 1 do maintain, though, that it is useless to even
discuss topics of interest unless we can do away with the single
person veto power— veto power that can't even be overruled.
I suggest that committees be established to be the deciding
factor in a students versus adviser standoff. A committee made
up of both students and faculty would at least leave room for a
sensible bargaining session.
No ideal, to be sure. But it's a start. We can be thankful that
the branches of the Student Association have not been faced
with vetoes, censorship or stifled plans. Someday almost
inevitably, there is likely to be an adviser who turns out to be

For those needing informa-

which there can be no doubt.
It comes about when the lower

The last time God granted
unconditional mercy to a mur-
derer was to Cain, and it is
interesting to note that after
the flood. God gives a paren-
thetical comment in Genesis
9:6 about the need for capital
punishment in the case of
murder.
That's an interesting place
to put it. especially when
nobody was murdered im-
mediately after the flood. The
real reason, of course, was
that the flood was necessitated
by the increase in evil due to
the lack of any enforcement of
capital punishment.
Mr. Brand is also mistaken
about Harry Orchard. Mr.
Orchard was convicted when
he confessed to the crime
AFTER being converted while
waiting for trial. As for the
fear of possibily executing an
innocent person, I believe
from my experience in the
Prison Ministry that judges do
very weird things when God
gets involved in the process of
justice.
We've seen judges give
sentences, or suspend them,
then a few seconds later shake
their heads with a queer look
on their face and wonder why
in the world they gave that
particular decision. Of course,
I would prefer a Christian
Judge who was in better touch
with the Diety, and would
have very few worries about
the perversion of justice with a
praying Judiciary. Unfortuna-
tely, the whole mind set of our
church is oriented against
involvement with government
to that extent, so we shouldn't
complain about what we get
out of the government.
However, Mr. Habenicht's
principle of the subservience
of the individual for the good
of society is a far more
dangerous idea than he
thinks. So much so, that I am
inclined to believe that he has
not thought the ramifications
of that principle through.
"Pragmatic Elimination,"
on what grounds or basis?
Who will be the undesire-
ables? Today it is the murder-
er and the unborn. Tomorrow
the elderly. Yesterday the
Jews and Christians. For too
long a time, everyone accep-
ted the idea of the subservi-
ence of the individual for the
good of society, and only
differed on who was to be
subservient (or eliminated).
The genius of the Judaeo-
Christian ethic is the rejection
of the principle outright, and
the assertion that both socie-
ties and individuals are all
under Law. Come come, in a
world dominated by physical
laws of an absolute nature,
should the relationships be-
tween individuals (which com-
prises society) be exempt?
Nay, rather, all laws, physical
and moral, result from exist-
dominated by
an Omnipresent God, whose
flesh and bones are laws and
principles.
The assertion that the only
absolute laws are physical in
nature is merely due to our
inability to presently explore
the realm of moral law with
the same ease with which we
can explore the physical
realm. Granted, this may
sound like an argument from
ignorance, but let me ask this.
Why are societies who value
human life generally more
prosperous than the ones who
place individuals under the
domination of Society (who-
ever that is)?
For those who may wish to
explore this area a bit further,
I wholeheartedly recommend
"The Abolition Of Man" by
C.S. lewis, and "How Should
We Then Live?" by Francis
Shaeffer.

as much as possible.
What about our entertain-
ment? Movies. TV, books,
music; what's the main theme
here? Even if you only watch
the best of programs, you
can't get away from the
commercials in which sex or
sensual ideas are put into your
unsuspecting mind. Romantic
novels, movies and many
other such things create in the
mind an over-powering desire
for — dare I say — love?
Sometime ago 1 wrote a
letter, in the school paper
trying to persuade the girls to
change from the way that they
have been dressing to a more
modest way. Many could not
seem to understand what need
there was for a change. Can
you see now? Listen, you girls
are attractive enough when
you dress decently, but when
you cut your dress open, or
wear other clothes that are
unbuttoned or too tight, you
stumble.
You men are not doing so
well either. Do you think that
the women are made of stone?
Why are your pants so tight?
Why do you go about scantily
clothed? If the truth were
known, we would find that
there is as much self-abuse in
the women's dorm as in the
men's! Women aren't exempt
from passion.
If you want to be free from
this sin; if you want to help
others (o be free from this sin;
then set a good example. Ask
the managers of the stores in
which you shop (i.e. VM) to
clean up some of the
stumbling blocks. Don't dress
in any kind of sensual manner.
Stay away from TV, rock
music, etc. Stay away from
rich food; ask the school
cafeteria to remove such items
from the shelves. After all,
this is supposed to be an
Adventist instution; surely
they wouldn't want to place
any hurtful item before a weak
brother or sister!? And above
all, pray, for yourself and for
others. Steven J. Speece

Crossroads
Dating at SMC: do guys ask enough?
Speaking from a personal
viewpoint, I believe that 1 and
a lot of my friends (yes, those
on B wing) have asked out an
enonnous number of women.
Yes, we've asked and yes,
we've had a good time. But
there are some things that
bother me, i.e. the following
excuses.
I, I'm sorry. 1 don't go out
with guys who ask as late as
Thursday night.
2. I would, but 1 don t
believe in premarital dating.
3 I'm sorry, I've already
got plans (You see them later
at Vespers with the giris.)
4. Any other excuse that
doesn't hold water.
I do understand there is a
problem with some gentlemen
not asking the young ladies,
but as far as me and my
friends— Wc refiise to accept
the blame. If the young ladies
would like more social life so
much that they are disturbed
about not going out, they
can ask, and there are ac-
ceptable ways:
1, Plan a party with giris
asking guys.
2. Just be open and honest
and ask a young gentleman
out; if he's dull and boring,
don't ask him out again.
In this day and age women
have been screaming for equal
rights, equal pay, and equal
treatment. Then why don t
some of those women upset
about the situation take on
equal responsibility for the
problem of not dating? Ves-
pers is just as>ec for gents to
ask ladies as it is for ladies to
ask young gents.
Also, don't be afraid to
spend a little money on them.
The guys I know sure haven't
been afraid to spend a little
cash. Furthermore, some gen-
tlemen have been asked out
and not one that 1 know of has
said NO, or that he was busy
with the boysl
Don't get me wrong; the
guys have their share of the
blame and may not have done
their best. If this be the
case— I ask that the young
men of Talee take on a little
more God-given iniative, get
organized, and struggle past
those nerves and ask out

day night or whenever, so

and help alleviate a problem.

every guy at Southern Mis-
sionary College, then why are
;ariy 75 percent of the
omen dateless?
Dating has become a very
sophisticated game to which
strict rules are applied. What
has happened to those fun get-
togethers? Most guys have the
misconception that every girl
wants to be taken to a very
expensive restaurant and then
to a concert or play. While this
is nice every once in awhile,
there are many activities that
are not as expensive and just
enjoyable. The
approximately two giris for dating is to get to know
someone better and to have
fun, not to get a free meal
and/or a free ride.
The school sponsors many
activities that could be lots of
fun. How about asking some-
one to go ice skating at the
Choo-choo this next Sunday?
Transportation, another major
excuses, is provided for these
type of activities. During the
Christmas season, there are
many school sponsored activi-
ties both on and off campus
which are suitable for dating,
such as the Christmas tree
lighting and the Messiah con-
cert.
Another major obstacle, es-
pecially for the guys who seem
to do all the asking, is getting
up enough courage. Although
girls complain that guys never
ask them, many of them don't
realize how hard it is. On the
other hand girls are taking the
initiative and asking guys out,
but they in turn are afraid that
their motives will be miscon-
strued. No matter who does
the asking, they should realize
that if they are turned down, it
is not necessarily because of
any personal reason^their in-
tention just might have other
plans.
Others have the idea that if
they go out with a less-than-
perfect-specimen they are de-
grading themselves. Not
everyone can be a Bo Derek or
a Christopher Reeve (i.e.
"10," "Superman"). Many
times a person has many
hidden assets that can be
discovered only by being to-
gether. How many times have
you been surprised to find out
that the person you least
expected has the most hilar-
ious sense of humor? There is
more to people than what
meets the eye.
One needs to keep
that a date doesn't mean a
commitment for life or a
license to do everything. Guys
complain that girls expect a
serious relationship after one
date, while girls think that the
guys are out to get sex from
them. While this type of
1 mind
thinking may be true for a
few people, it is not true for
everyone.
Another misconception is
that dates are just for "you
and me" only. However,
looking back, most of us
remember the best times as
being those with a group.
Remember that Sabbath after-
noon when everyone went on a
picnic to Red Clay? Or that
Saturday night when 30 kids
piled into one van and had
Chinese fire drills on the way
to Taco Bell? Group dates take
the pressure off that "first
date" while proving a re-
laxed aTmnsnherp for getting
to know someone.
Of course, there are the
most common and general
excuses. I'm sure that other
people have different excuses
that they consider valid. But
then again others are so lazy
that they will latch on to any
excuse not to ask. But with >
little insight students at SMI
could have a lot more fun H
they asked someone out.

I Scene II
A friend of mine has been
helping in a church in this
I conference and he decided to
try a creative approach to the
worship service. He did two
things that were different.
The first was to have the
congregation practice the
hymn for the morning because
it was one that was unfamiliar.
' Secondly, after the close of his
message, he stayed at the
front of the church and min-
gled with the people instead of
'he traditional way of walking
The first is that people can
view the same person dif-
ferently. The same action or
sentence can be interpreted in
about as many ways as the
number that see or hear it.
Treat others as you would like
to be treated. Before you start
to judge an action or work.
THINK.
Another sad observation is
the name calling or labeling
that is going on. It seems
today that a "Fordite",
"Reaite". or any other
"heretic-ite" is someone who
disagrees with what YOU
believe. Just because what is
said doesn't add up to what
you have understood doesn't
neces^aiily mean that person
is a heretic.
Don't misunderstand me.
Sin should be called by its
right name, but let's make
sure of what we are labeling.
A final observation is that
there seems to be an attitude
of "Guilty until proven in-
nocent" around. Some mem-
bers are showing the attitude
of Americans during the
McCarthy era.

The professor involved, he

The first was that they were
Christians— Christ people.
The people in Antioch could
tell who they were because
they were always talking
about the man Christ.
The second characteristic
was the love they showed for
one another. The agape love
was something rarely seen in
the Roman world and it made
an impression on them.
How do people know that
we are Seventh-day Adventist
Christians (Christ people)? I
hope they can recognize us by
how much we talk about Christ
and how we show His love to
people both in and outside of
the church.

Snack bar reviewed
The food excessible to stu-
dents of Southern Missionary
College is interesting to say
the least. With the advent of
the new snack bar, the
culinary repertoire available to
students has been increased.
Whether or not this is for the
better remains a matter of
opinion.
The menu is unfortunately
limited to but a few items,
However, the uniqueness of
these items leaves them as
desirable alternatives to the
other food fares on campus.
The snack bar's proximity to
the campus and its later hours
have made it a pretty popular
spot at SMC.
The sizes of the servings are
average and, in my opinion, a
little expensive. The exotic
names given the menu items
are not quite the indicators of
exotic food as one might think,
but are rather just exotic
names. The falafel is the most
exotic item and is quite tasty,
but 1 found the chips with
avacado dip — especially its
price— a little hard to swallow.
What the Campus Kitchen
does with grease the snack bar
does with microwaves, and
somehow that quality of tex-
ture claimed by both methods
remains lost. Burger patties
are little better than thawed
out and thus are a little tough f
and dry— but then, what can
you do to help out the dreaded In summary, the food is fair

Exercise motivates
Is a game of Pac-Man your idea of a stringent workout? Is
your boy/girl friend calling you kangaroo thighs? Does your
roommate tell you fat jokes all the time? Well then, do
something about it. Exercise!
Don't just laugh at yourself when you look into the mirror.
Don't claim that you have big bones, either. Excuses get you
nowhere. Now is the time to get out and jog, or swim, or lift
weights, or. . .
Start in the morning. Limber up with the 'ole 1,2.1,2,. . .Then
try the other eyelash. See how easy it is! Yes, even you can do
it.
If you find yourself lacking motivation, then I have a sure fire
way to motivate you. Walk up to any football player or
mudwrestler and kick them in the knee as hard as you can. If
you don't run they will pound the weight off of you. If you do run
they will catch you and pound the weight off of you.
See how fun being in shape \

Though many of you may
not realize it, a new and
frightening power is in control
of at least pari: of the campus
here at SMC.
m serious. This power is
, tremendous. It has caused
[ students to leave school(at
least temporarily), place col-
, lect calls to their parents,
faint, scream, throw tele-
[ phones across the room and
1 behave in a variety of other
I bizarre ways.
i first noticed this strange
I phenomena after my last class
I yesterday. I had forgotten to
I bring something besides my
class notes to digest, and my
stomach began protesting. By
shifting uncomfortably
through the rest of class, I
naged to quiet the voices
I from within until I could
escape and get something to
nee the cafeteria and the
were both quite a ways
I from where I was. I picked up
the nearest phone and dialed
4677. that magical number
which, when dialed, is sup-
posed to reveal all the gusta-
tory treats in store for the
eater. After it rang several
times, a voice finally came on
the line. "For breakfast today
we will be serving — "
"But it's one o'clock in the
aftemonn!" I protested. I was
about to replace the receiver
when I noticed the recording
had stopped. I picked the
phone back up and listened.
Two voices were whispering in
the background.
"Should I give her dinner's
menu?" the first one queried.
"Naw. she hasn't thrown
the phone across the room yet.
Give her last nights'— that
should do it," answered the
second.
I was flabbergasted. 1
cleared my throat. Immediat-
ely, the first voice turned
monotone and began droning,
"For supper last night we
had—"
"What is this?" I deman-
ded. "Hey, I know you guys
aren't recordings; what's
going on?"
Silence. Then, "You tell
her!" came from voice num-
ber one.
"Okay. We aren't employed
by SMC," began the second
person. "We work for an
independent organization near
here, whose identity we are
not allowed to reveal. Our job
is to keep as many people off
the phones as possible; either
that, or get them to ruin their
phones so we can raise the
rates." He gave a low chuckle.
"But ma'am, whoever you
are, I wish you would get off
the lines— our little switch-
board here is lighted up like a
Christmas tree with people
who are trying to get through.
And by the way," he contin-
ued, a warning note creeping
into his voice. "I would keep
this under my hat if I were
you. or you'll get a phone bill
you'll never forget."
I thanked him quickly, then
just before hanging up, I
asked desperately, "Before
you go. could you possibly tell
me what the cafeteria is
serving for dinner?"
"Oh. that," he cackled.
"We don't know, really. We
have a book of menus and we
just choose one at random and
read it. Sometimes we get
lucky and pick something
that's really being served."
His cackles increased as he
added, "Anyhow, you just
have a splendid dayl"
"I'll do that," I grimaced,
as I restored the phone to its
original position. Just then,
one of my friends walked up.
Do you know what the cafe is
serving for dinner?" he asked.
"No, but you can call 4677
and see." I smiled, and
walked away.

What do you think of SMC's dating
situation?
Randy Weldemere, junior, auto-body repair. San Diego. CA: It
carries a lot of potential. Sometimes it's a pressured
situation— from other guys. But then it seems giris have a
tendency to take a guy too seriously. If you ask them out once,
then they expect for you to start a relationship, etc.
Heather Northcutt, senior, journalism. AUamonte Springs. FL:
Tim Gamer, sophomore, comp. science/business 4, Tallahas-
see, FL: I think there's too much pressure on the guys to ask the
girls out. When a guy does ask a giri out they just play a lot of
games and you're not sure where you stand. But that shouldn't
discourage guys from asking giris out.
KathyLong. senior, elementary ed.. Montgomery. AL: I think it
has really picked up great this year.

Banquet planned
The Student Association of
Southern Missionary College
is planning a Christmas ban-
quet to be held on Sunday.
December 6, in the college
cafeteria.
According to Roger Burke.
SA President, the banquet will
be held in place of a first
semester talent show. A talent
show will be organized next
semester as well as a second,
more formal banquet.
"We are not stressing flow-
er buying because this ban-
quet will be semi-formal— not
formal," Burke said. At the
same time, he defined semi-
formal to be "Sabbath suits"
for the guys and ' ' nice
dresses" for the girls.
The theme of the banquet is
"Christmas" in conjunction
with the season and its spirit.
Several questions have been
raised as to the cost of this
year's banquet. The thirteen
dollar per couple tickets will
just cover the price the cafe-
teria is charging for catering
the event. Funds for decor-
ations, entertainment and
miscellaneous expenses will
have to come out of the Social
Activities fund.
Last year's banquet cost
twelve dollars per couple,
commented Darrel Starkey,
who was director of the SA
banquet last year. The main
difference, however, was that
the ticket price covered the
cost of most of the entertain-
ment as well as the food.
Cafeteria charges for the ban^
quet were only six or sever
dollars for each couple— not
the thirteen being charged
this time.
Starkey attributes this to
last year's method of "Cutting
comers." "We helped pro-
vide the labor for the cafe-
teria," says Starkey. "We
ended up using less than one
hundred dollars out of oui
budget."
Director of Food Services,
Earl Evans, was unavailable
for comment on the subject.
Burke informed the Accent
that the banquet will provide
live entertainment ,and
movie. Other insidei soui
revealed that the njovie wo
be a 1930s black and white
entitled. "It's a Wonderful
Life." starting Jimmy Stew
art, Donna Reed and Barry
Moore.
Tickets can be purchased at
the Student Center desk. Once
again, no ID cards cai
used. President Burke
phasized that he contacted
Richard Reiner (Bus!
Manager) about the possibility
of putting the charges
cards for the SA bash, but
Reiner Insisted that new policy
dictates this cannot be done.
In any case, Social Activities
director Patti Gentry, along
with other SA officers,
tinue to plan for an evening
that will hope to pleasf
attendees.

^on't lide out ikank^
As Thanksgiving and its nostalgia approaciies, I Pa"se <»
nonder the spirit that pervades the atmosphere. Do we, as iMC
students, have anything to be thankful for? I'm not talking
about the food on the table, the clothes on the back or the
religious freedom of this country.
Rather, can we find anything in the uniqueness of our
Christian college for which to be thankful?
When I skip a class, whether for a good reason or not, the
odds say I will find an uneicused stamped on my eicuse slip.
It's frustrating, to say the least— especially when you consider
that many colleges don't even require classes.
If I've been so busy all week that I'm a little behind m my
laundry, I sure can't expect any mercy in the cafeteria line when
I wear a pair of jeans as a substitute. Chances are that 1 won't
even get caught until I'm halfway through my meal.
When maU is becoming scarce, I can always rely on good 'ole
college tidbits. Perhaps it's a letter from the dean questioning
my absence from church.
Or maybe someone is informing me that I'd better start going
to worships — or else.
Even more original, maybe it's the student finance office
writing a love letter to tell me that I'd better come sign my
financial aid papers or I'll find myself sitting without an ID card.
To quote a well-known cartoon character, "Good Grief!"
Can we find anything for which to be thankful here at SMC? I
wonder.
If it seems that the three Rs of reading, writing and 'rithmetic
have become the Rs of rules, regulations and ^requirements,
take a second look.
We only find ourselves amidst school laws because someone
does indeed care. The uniqueness of our Christian education
guarantees that we will not be faced with a lackadaisical
administration.
Perhaps you or I do not agree with every rule or even some
part of SMC's phUosophies of education. The mere fact that
there is something to disagree with, however, assures us that
""^We wXcontinue to be faced with imperfect rulings and some
less than outstanding decisions, but behind most actions is a
caring, concerned educator. ...
So on this Thanksgiving Day, if you begin to feel pessimistic
about the worth of an education at Southern Missionary
College, stop and reflect about the hours of painstaking thought
and prayer that have gone into the rules that are attempting to
maintain the standards of this institution. Someone cares.
That's something to be thankful for.

(Cordially to Mr. Speece)

Your "loose" usage of
terms is beyond me. Where
are your definitions for such
catch-all phrases as "lower
passions, normal reason, sen-
sual ideas, causing someone
to stumble, self abuse, and
weak brother or sister?"
Vou do not quote any scien-
tific evidence to support your
statements of supposedly fact.
Instead you advise young peo-
ple to read Solemn Appeal.
Not even 50% of this book was
written by Ellen White.
Where is the research to
support your statements con-
cerning certain types of food
strengthening lower passions?
Are all the students and
faculty who eat the college-
prepared food walking around
with overwhelming base pas-
sions ready at any moment to
jump the opposite sex? Taco
Bell and Pizza Hut will now
have to be off limits for our
students and faculty so that
we won't become harmful to
each other.

Your statements about the
advertisements in the V.M.
and dress on this campus
really perplex me. Aren't you
living in this world, Steven?
Or are you existing in a 4x4
closet, with no sensory stim-
ulation? If you are, let me
predict that in the near future
you will become delusional
and hallucinate. (I can back
that with research). I've shop-
ped in the V.M. for the last 15
years and nothing has roused
my lower passions except the
prices!
Also, the students look won-
derful. Is it sinful to look
beautiful or handsome? You'll
say that I am conditioned to all
the sinful stimuli that the
world has to offer. Maybe you
are right! But hallelujah for
the conditioning. I've had a
very happy Christian life so
far. My dear Christian parents
allowed me the freedom to
make my own decisions and
didn't protect me from the
realities of life. The Lord
surely was not protected from
the "sinful" elements that
existed when He was on earth.
Steven, you didn't start this
controversy. Someone else did
in the previous Accent, but I
am concerned with both of
you. To me. preoccupation
with sexual matters indicates
that there is a real problem
with that individual. You are
preoccupied with what stim-
ulates base passions and the
other person with his sexual
habits.
Both of you need to move
away from your self absorp-
tion and focus your attention
on working for others. Profes-
sional guidance in assisting
you to understand the sexual
role in your life might be
helpful. If I had a chance to
know you both, it wouia

Dear Editor:
To provide consistency for
ur past format of article —
letter of rebuttal — rebuttal to
the rebuttal— I would like to
respond to Professor Owens'
jmarks.
First, I will concede Profes-
sor Owens' point about Harry
Orchard. He is right; I was
wrong.
Secondly, the same God
who inspired Genesis 9:6 also
said, "Vengeance is Mine;/
will repay." Another biblical
imple of lack of enforce-
ment for capital punishment
would be Saul who became
Paul. In our judiciary system,
Saul was guilty of first-degree
homicide as an accomplice to
the stoning of Stephen. 1
suppose blinding Saul was
God's form of capital punish-
ment.
And we also have every-
one's favorite murderer —
David. But since a biblical
base could be found for almost
anvthing (try explaining I
Peter 3:18-20 or I Corinthians
15:29 to a Mormon) I won't
argue that the Bible is against
capital punishment.
However, capital punish-
ment—as a deterrent to crime
—statistically has fallen flat
on its face. In Illinois, while
capital punishment was being
enforced, there were more
murders and other major
crimes per capita than in
Wisconsin, where capital
punishment hasn't been en-
forced for a long time.
And the possibility that an
innocent person would be
condemned to death isn't even
remote— it's close to 10%.
Read Carl Menninger's book,
The Crime of Punishment, for
more information.
About societies vs. individ-
uals, the laws which do exist
universally and under which
all societies must dwell do not
define "the undesirables" in
terms of life or death and
therefore, neither should we.
I agree the individual neces-
sarily shouldn't be excepted
for the good of society, but the
individual would be protected
if the ultimate good of society
takes precedence, a point I
think Professor Owens agrees
Simply stated, seeking the
good of society and the good
of the individual are one and
the same thing ethically. And
neither leaves any room for
capital punishment.
Sincerely,
Jay Brand
Dear Editor,
I feel I must respond to
Robert Smith's affirmative
answer to the Accent's Cross-
roads question — "Dating at
SMC: do the guys ask
enough?"
There are several girls resi-
ding in Thatcher that have
only been asked out once or
twice since getting here in
August. These girls are well-
dressed, amiable people —
overlooked by the vast
majority of Talge residents.
Unfortunately these are also
the girls that don't believe in
asking the guys out. Although
we're in the minority, there
are a few girls that don't like
equal treatment.
I'm not blaming you, Mr.
Smith, for the lack of our
social lives. I realize there's
only so many girls one guy can
date. 1 am blaming the guys
that are so conceited that they
expect the giris to track them
down and beg for a date, the
Gladson IntetvlewBd
guys (yes, there are some that'
make plans to spend the
chapels, prayer meetings,
vespers and church services
with the other guysl) that
forget the opposite sex even
exists, and the guys that are
too shy for their own good.
Personally, I don't believe
in turning down dates unless I
have an extremely valid rea-
son, and then I too postpone
the date. I realize that dating
s nerve wracking for those
nvolved, but nevertheless an
ntricate part of the fun for
college students on campuses
all over the world.

Accent: What
of this meeting.
Gladson: Since the Glacier
View meeting dealing with Dr.
Desmond Ford, there has
been misunderstanding and a
lack of communication be-
tween the Academic and Ad-
ministrative sectors of the
church. The relationship had
deteriorated considerably.
Consultation II was then
called by Elder Neil Wilson
(Consultation 1 was connected
with the Ford meeting) who
was urged to do so by people
in the Academic community.
Rumors have been flying
everywhere-many directed
at SMC-and at this meeting
efforts were made to stop the
rumor spreading.
Accent: How wgs the meeting
conducted?
Gladson: The almost 200 del-
egates were divided into 10
committees. The committees
convened each day after a
devotion and then worked all
day on the various issues. No
formal presentations were
given, but a plenary session
was held in the late afternoon
where committees reported
their conclusions. Each day a
formal written conclusion had
to be submitted by each
committee.
Accent: What were the issues
discussed?
Gladson: Firstly, academic
freedom in the church. Sec-
ondly, pluralism (i.e. how
many different viewpoints will
be permitted) and thirdly, the
use of modern methods of
biblical study by SDA scho-
lars. This was concerned with
the historical critical method
of the study of scripture.
Accent: Was the meeting a
Gladson: Yes, we all came
away feeling that better lines
of communication had been
set up and that a better
working relationship would
result.
Accent: Will any policy
change take place?
Gladson: Many of the deci-
sions made will have to be
further studied before any
policy change will take place.
Accent: Will there be further
Gladson: Yes, although no
official dates have been set.
The delegates felt that these
meetings should be held on a
regular basis.

Gladson: I hope the results of
Consultation 11 — a clearing of
the atmosphere — represents a
turning point in the present
crisis in the church.

Military service: should SDA^s enlist?
r^YEs
by Steve DIckerholf
I do not see anything wrong
with an Adventist joining the
army. We have to realize that
this world is not what God
wanted it to be. This corrupted
world has practical problems
that need practical solutions.
Marriage is an institution
established by God, but sin
created problems for it. Jesus
told us that married couples
should never divorce. But,
because He realized the prob-
lem of adultery, brought about
by sin. He gave us an out in
this instance.
We should apply this prin-
ciple of accommodating the
perfect ways of God with the
problem of sin to other every-
day questions. War is the
result of sin and armies are
the result or war.
Sure, killing is not "good,"
but in some cases it may be
"right." God is not as con-
cerned with what we do as
with the motive behind our
acts.
I could use the example of
Israel, in the Old Testament,
fighting and killing, but I
always get the ole*. "Well,
God was the direct leader of
Israel and he knew when and
who to kill."
This argument throws out
the leading of God in today's
world. Just because God is not
directly leading our nation
today doesn't mean that He
doesn't lead at all. The Bible
says something about God
setting up rulers of this world
and us being responsible to
them.
Joining the army should be
left up to the individual. If
ninety-nine out of one hun-
dred Adventists shouldn't join
the army for whatever rea-
sons, that one Adventist
should be able to exercise his
free will and decide what is
best for him. We are individ-
uals even before we are Ad-
ventists.
As far as killing in war goes,
I find it necessary. Everyone
has to decide for himself. 1
have thought over the op-
posing issues and have de-
cided to carry a gun if I ever go
to war.
First of all, "Thou shalt not
kill," is more accurately trans-
lated, "You shall not mur-
der," as found in the NIV.
Secondly, we again have the
example of the Israelites.
They wiped-out entire nations
at times.
Thirdly, you are only direct-
ly responsible for your own
soul. If you kill someone in
war, you may end his period of
probation, but it was his duty
to get his life in gear. God, as
a just God, can only be just if
he gives responsibility for our
own salvation to us. We don't
cause a person to go to Hell if
we kill them.
This may sound cruel and
hard, but God can't let some-
one else be responsible for my
life.
These are very difficult
decisions for an Adventist to
make. 1 just hope that we
don't decide for my opinion or
Bill's, but that we think about
it and, with an open mind,
decide for ourselves.

REm.. SET... GROW...
by Bill Goth (USNR)
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy
in September, 1974, planning
to make a career of it. How-
ever, I was converted to
S.D.A. Christianity and, in the
process, gave up the idea of
making the military a career.
I have given my experience
much thought and here are a
few reasons why I believe,
excepting a few special cases,
Adventists shouldn't volun-
teer for military service.
Exodus 20:3 says, "You
shall have no other gods
before me." The military may
give lip service to religious
freedom, but when push
comes to shove, and it will
with issues like Sabbath ob-
servance, the individual is
conditioned and pressured to
either see things the military's
way or be considered a
"troublemaker" (I know from
experience that the military
goes out of its way to make life
miserable for "trouble-
makers."). Don't expect any
help from your chaplain
either.
One job I held, while in the
Navy, gave me an unique view
of the moral depravity that is a
part of military life.
I will not go into details
because they are not only unfit
for publication but, in many
cases, are probably beyond
description (trust me, I know!)
Suffice it to say that if
Paul's admonition that "bad
company corrupts good
morals" is true, then military
service will surely do it (and I
know several SDAs to whom
this happened).
Exodus 20:13 says, "You
shall not murder." Mr. Dic-
kerhoff doubtless prefers the
translation of ' 'murder' ' to
"kill" and that suits me fine.
He will probably argue that
killing in war isn't the same as
murder, but that argument
ignores the true nature of war.
In peacetime, it is socially
unacceptable for a citizen of

Country A to kill a citizen of
Country B. Therefore, when
Country A declares war on
Country B, it conditions its
people (especially the mill,
tary to hate Country B and its
people.) As the war pro.
gresses, the soldier from
Country A. seeing his com-
rades killed and his country
ravaged, increasingly loses his

diers and defenseless civil.
ians. This has been true of all
wars throughout history (in.
eluding U.S.) to varying ex-
tents. The hatred (and thus
the brutality) is further inten-
sified when the soldier from
Country A percieves Country
B people as racially inferior.
So. as you can see the
differentiation between "kill"
and "murder" is really im-
material.
For these main reasons, 1
urge SDA's not to enlist. The
only exception I can see is if an
individual feels called of God
to witness in the military.
There are several options
open;
1. You can become a doctor,
nurse or other non-combatant
member.
2. You can enlist In the j
Army (the only branch that
generally allows it) as a medic
and receive conscientious ob-
lain. Openings, however.

_ The tradition for a day of
■thanksgiving extends far back
■into the history of mankind.
■The Jews had a holiday known
las the Feast of Tabernacles in
■which they presented the first
Wfruits of their harvest to God.
f Later, the Greeks estab-
f lished a day called the Thes-
I morphoria, to thank Demeter
I for the harvest which she had
Iblessed. In honor of Ceres, the
iKomans also held a harvest
■ celebration called Corelia.
But the account that por-
trays the truest meaning of
Thanksgiving happened near-
ly 360 years ago at Plymoth
Rock, Massachussetts.
Though the story is familiar,
recallbg it is significant even
today.
The winter of 1620-21 was
hard on the little group of
Pilgrims who had come from
England on the Mayflower.
Shelter was bare and the food
supply was scarce. Due to the
coldness and lack of proper
food, sickness prevailed.
Thanksgiving riddle
This puzzle is built around Thanksgiving. Fill in the blanks
Land find some things the Bible says about giving thanks.
Once, in fact, all but seven
persons were sick. One by one
the settlers died until only
fifty-five of the one-hundred
and one were still alive.
With the beginning of
spring came warmth and hope
to the previously discouraged
Pilgrims. They busied them-
selves preparing for the next
winter. That year they planted
twenty acres of com, six of
barley and six of peas. Great
care was taken with these
crops, for their lives depended
upon them. Spring blossomed
into summer, and summer
mellowed into autumn.
By the time early December
came upon the colony, new
shelters had been built and
the crop harvested. Although
the peas had been scorched,
the com and barley would last
them through the winter.
It had been a good year and
the Pilgrims had much to be
thankful for. Governor Brad-
ford declared that having
fasted together in the time of
little, they should new feast
together. Wishing to share the
bountiful yield, Massasoit and
ninety of his braves were
invited to this feast which was
to thank God for the harvest.
As they sat down to the feast
they tmly had much to be
thankful for.
Though over three and a
half centuries have passed
since the first Thanksgiving,
we today have much to be
thankful for. Few of us worry
where the next meal will come
from or where we will find a
place to sleep. But does a
society so richly blessed re-
member to thank the God who
makes it all possible?
Thanksgiving is a time for
such remembering and giving
thanks to God. As we ap-
proach this special holiday
with its traditional parades,
football,' games, friends and
food, let us take the time to
reflect on our blessings and
give thanks to God.

thanks to the Lord, for He Is

has been dropped; and the
Evnironmental Biology class
won't be offered.
But as an addition to the
department's curricula, Prin-
ciples of Biology, a non-major

offered.
This class can be taken with
or without the lab; lab will be
offered in two sections: Tues-

A second addition will be
Animal Behavior, offered for
majors or non-majors, requir-
ing no prerequisites. This will
be an exciting, non-lab course
dealing with the delightful
behavior of animals (obvious-
ly). The class will meet at 10
a.m. Monday-Wednesday-Frt-

A third change— Animal
Histology will be offered for
majors, and will meet only at

Someone has said that everything is bigger in Texas. By
looking at the size of some of the Cowboy fan's egos, I can do
nothing but agree.
Thank goodness that Cowboy fans aren't in the majority. But
why do the existing ones have to let everyone else know? And
know? And know again? Why are they proud of a team that
loses to Detroit? And why does a certain group of females here

Why can't these fans pick a nice, wholesome team for which

Realizing the effect that
high tuition costs have on
anendance, the administra-
tion has unveiled a plan that
;vill be instituted beginning
next year. This plan will
reportedly reduce tuition to
$25 a semester hour. At this
unbelievable rate, attendance
is estimated to sky-rocket.
The plan is a very simple
one. The money lost through
the reduced tuition rate will be
made up in the creation of
several new fines. These fines
are explained below.

It is felt that a large fine would

and thus reduce income. "A

For the past eighty-five days, these two astute scientists have
conducted their laboratory experiments on biological specimens
being held in captivity. Their results are very astounding and
we thought you might like to share in this knowledge that has
revoiutioned the scientific community.
Throughout the months of August, September, October and
November, these tests have been going on to see just what
effects could be reached in the common cockroach if their diet
was narrowed down to one specific food substance.
Many varieties were sampled (along with foods from the
Cafeteria and CK). Four food were finally chosen and used
because of the nature of their contents.
These four are:
Baygon (a wonderful 102% bait insecticide)
Mega-vitamins
la)ma-Llnda Linkettes
dirty socl<s
Here Is the animal used In the experiments:
Family: Blattidae
Genus: Collegedalean
Species: talgus
This specimen proved to be extremely hardy and held up
well, even under the Linkette diet. Noticing the graph
accompanying this report, the results gained from the many
hours ot extensive research can be seen.
The graph was used to measure the total body length atlamed
in each given month. The numbers are averages taken from one
hundred specimens in each of the four experimental diets.
The charts shows that overall, the roaches gained ™e most
weight and body length from the dirty sock diet and the
Baygon food. while the Mega-Vitarains and Linkettes
decreased me iwo characteristics in a very significant way.
Also noted was the fact that four out of five roaches, when
" given the choice, picked the Bavgon diet over any of the otner
leading brands, this may be an indication of roaches

Conclusion:
The two scientists, after much careful and deliberate thought,
have come to the conclusion that maybe a mixture of linkette
mash and Mega-Vitamins placed strategically throughout the
infested area (i.e. the bottoms of water mugs) might rid the
entire area of the Collegedalean talgus once and for all.

Financial aid cut
WILLIAMSBURG. Va. (CH)—
The cost vary from 10% to
70%, but most states are
currently having to reduce aid
to college students.
Tight state budgets and the
federal aid cuts are forcing
reductions that loan officers
will keep some students from
attending college at all, ac-
cording to reports at the
recent National Association of
State Scholarship and Grant
Programs meetings.
Aid funds were cut 70% in
Alabama, while cuts in Mis-
sissippi left 40% of applicants
without any assistance. State
student incentive grants were
reduced 30% in Arkansas, and
the overall student aid fund
fell $3.3 million in North
Carolina.
The tight funding left state
and college officials with dif-
ficult choices to make. Be-
cause of last-minute decisions
on federal student aid, some
financial aid offices ran out of
money before they realized it.
Officials now say the "first
come, first served" policies
that have often applied in the
past will leave some of the
most needy students without
any aid.
Some states are tightening
up eligibility requirements
making it more difficult for
students to prove they are
independent, while others are
recommending new tax incen-
tives to encourage parents to
save more for their children's
education.
In Rhode Island, state stu-
dent aid funds actually rose
$700,000. until the state legis-
lature began eyeing cuts. Un-
willing to take chances, the
executive director of the state
Higher Education Assistance
Authority says he disbursed
the money quickly, "so 1

Art Buchwald, satire columnist for the Washingtor, Post, tells
the humorous story of two average Amencan {?■""" "™
exchanged Christmas cards. The fnendly greetmgs turned
competitive when one family sent the other not just a Christmas
card, but a gift. Not to be outdone, the gift's recipients sent a
more expensive gift back the next Chnstmas.
The trend continued with every successive year finding each
family sending a more extravagant gift than the time before in
an attempt to better their former friends.
In an ending exaggerated to an extreme that only Buchwald
would dare put in print, we find the two families angrily
supplying the other with Lincoln Continentals and Cadillacs.
As "far out as the story may be. Buchwald has touched on a
Christmas note that indeed seems to replace the true spirit of
Christmas with another spirit.
How do you decide who to give gifts to? Relatives will be on
the list, of course. The very best friends will probably rate some
type of what not. But how about after that?
1 dare say that your gift giving will largely be determined by
who has given gifts to you. Furthermore, the worth of the gin
will be as near to identical as you can possibly find.
Americans have revised the golden rule to read, "Give unto
others as you expect others to give unto you."
Almost two thousand years ago God gave the first Christmas
gift ever— His son. He did not give because we had given to
Him. He didn't even ask a gift in return, (of course, we could
never have matched the gift's worth.) Rather, He gave because
of love.
The true spirit of Christmas is one which gives without giving
and, to go even further, receives without feeling obligated to
give.
The Synta Claus symbol remains as strong as it does year
after year because Santa symbolizes one-way giving He does
not feel bound to anyone, nor does anyone feel obligated to
return a sift to Santa.
As a child I sometimes left cookies on the table for Santa to
enioy but I never considered it a trade off. Santa would come
whether or not I had given to him. I could feel free to give
because of my affection for Santa— no other reason. You see.
Santa never required cookies.

I enjoyed the chapel we had

the people did not appreciate
it because they are not aquain-

ignorant of the facts. For
instance, when we have a
travel program, we see how
people live or how other
people have an influence on
our country and vice versa.
Even if the service only

pleased the small group of
science scholars in the school,
which may be the minority, we
should consider the fact that in
society Seventh-day Adven-
tists are a minority and we as
Adventists should take the
majority's preferences under
consideration.
This should be applicable in
all situations. We should not
look for what we wa'nt all the
time in the school programs,
but see it as something to
please everyone most of the
time. I write this to those who
I have heard to be very
critical.
I think that it is important to
see what Southern Missionary
College has contributed to
society and its potential in the
scientific world so that we can
become even more proud of
this institution and the place

Dear Editor,

team in football?
And concerning the loss to

lost to them doesn't make me

that in the 4 precious weeks

elected not to upgrade
telephone service at this time.
They have the uneviable job of
making this decision and as is
evident in the article on tele-
phone service, to which this
letter is addressed, it is a
decision they have reached
after careful consideration of
the available alternatives.
The telephone company is
beginning construction of new
facilities in Ooltewah which
will house a ten-thousand line
digital switching system. This
system is " 'state of the art' ' in
its technological design and
will offer the community such
features as call forwarding,
call waiting, and three-way
dialing, as well as increased
speed in dialing and more
available circuits to enhance
communications. Completion
of this system is slated for
November of 1982.
Present cut-over schedul-
ing, agreed to by the tele-
phone company and college
management, would bring the
same services fo SMC in
January or February of 1983
thru the use of a "remote"
office to be located on the
SMC campus. It is hoped that
these arrangements will prove
satisfactory to college admin-
istration, faculty. and
students.
We realize that February
1983 seems a long time away
when you are lined up to use a
phone or are listening to a fast
busy tone (indication of busy
circuits). There are a few
suggestions which we would
like to make which should help
some with the present
situation.
1. Help keep costs of tele-
phone service down. Fraud-
ulent use of the telephone is a
serious crime and has cost the
telephone company and SMC
approximately $6,000.00 over
the past years, plus adminis-
trative costs in accounting for
and attempting to collect on
these calls.
2. Limit your calls. Ask
yourself. "Is this call neces-
sary?"
3. Make your calls early in
the morning or in the after-
noon. Avoid the hours when
usage is at its peak.
4. Limit the length of time
you talk. Talk only three to
five minutes. Do your visiting
in person.
5. Remember that others
need the talking path that you
are using.
6. Consider having an out-
side line installed in your
dorm room. There are a
limited number of CoUegedale
lines available on a first come
first served basis.
Observation of these sug-
gestions will not eliminate the
problems inherent in using the
centrex but should help re-
lieve some of the frustrations
and help improve everyones

Dear Editor:
I just read, belatedly, the
November 5 issue of Accent,
and feel a comment needs to
be made concerning Hope's
answer to the young man who
had a question about stopping
masturbation.
Her answer was that one
has to make a personal choice
between "modern re-
search's" opinion that it is
OK, and Ellen White's view
that it is sinful, because "it
has not been thoroughly deter-
mined if masturbation is
wrong or not."
This answer has a far
deeper implication than the
immediate question; it in-
volves, first, whether or not to
accept all of Ellen White's
counsel as inspired or whether
to feel free to judge what is
and what is not inspired, using
"modern science" and per-
sonal inclination as the yard-
stick. As a Seventh-day
Adventist, 1 believe that the
Spirit of Prophecy is God's
special gift to the last genera-
tions to help us through the
maze of counterfeit, deceit,
and misinterpretation of scien-
tific fact. I do not believe it is
merely the best judgment of
an astute human mind; there-
fore, 1 cannot stand as an
evaluator of its validity.
Secondly, consider how
often the supposed deductions
of science are revised or cast
aside, and how the theories
advanced by different scien-
tists conflict with one another.
Most of what has been written
on the subject falls into the
category of opinion rather
than scientific observation.
Before 1950. most opinions
tended to present the ill
effects of masterbation; since
1950 most would scoff at the
idea that masturbation might
have any influence on mind,
body or morals.
The majority of individuals
in medicine, social services,
and psychology of today en-
dorse or even encourage
masturbation, calling it a
healthful practice, but there
are other voices of careful
scientists who not only do not
endorse, but point out some of
the dangers of masturbation.
A curious thing is that while
respected physicians will say
there is no evidence that the
practice does any harm, they
will then outline their own
methods of treatment with the
strongest methods available to
medical science. If there is no
disease there should be no
treatment. Treatment, often
includes some of the most
powerful drugs known for
influencing the central ner-
vous system. A disparity
between what is said about the
harmlessness of the disorder
and what is found in practice
is illustrated by the article in
the medical journal. Patient
Care. October 15, 1978. page
105.
Some sceintists consider
excessive masturbation to be
caused by an emotional upset
of some kind. They consider
masturbation to be normal and
physiologic, but also recognize
that certain physical and emo-
tional disorders are at least
associated with the act. (i.e.
Vol 18. Pediatrics, page 803.
July-December 1956).
Other practitioners find that
individuals who suffer from
various mental illnesses, from
certain physical diseases, and
from obscure disorders that
are difficult to treat, often
admit to the free practice of
masturbation as a long stand-
ing habit. While some say the
disease caused the masturba-
tion, inspiration says it is the
other way around.
To the young man who
wrote the letter. I would say
you probably cannot control
the habit by trying to control
the act itself, because the
habit is the result of a deeper
cause. That makes as much
sense as trying to treat a fever
rather than the infection that
is causing it. It seems to me
that a person had a good sense
of self-worth, based on a
thorough understanding of his
place in the universe and time;
of the reciprocal nature of his
relationship with his Creator;
and an unselfish attitude of
service toward his fellow man.
he would not experience the
"fever" of aberrent behavior.
May I offer a prescription
that I believe will work? It is
found in Desire of Ages, page
83. "It would be well for us to
spend a thoughtful hour each
day in contemplation of the
life of Christ. ..Beholding the
beauty of His character, we

Of 717 students surveyed,
591 were in favor of wearing
blue jeans in the cafeteria and

Typewriters available for
student use in the library of
I Southern Missionary College
I have become a topic of discus-
lately. Some students
jliave voiced complaints about
Rheir condition and availabil-
ifv- , .
I The most complamts regis-
liered were with Dr. Barbara
\uf of the English Depart-
ment. She reported that both
"nglish composition and Bib-
lical Literature students had
ined about typewriters
feeding repair. Dr. Ruf admit-
ied that some papers submit-
led to her were difficult to
lead due to typewriter mal-
functions.
While investigating the con-
fcition of the typewriters. I
fthecked with several students
^ho were working at the
es and got positive
nesponses from all of them.
jThe only complaint was that
Bhere weren't enough of them.
English Department head,
[David Smith, requires type-
written papers in many classes
and reported not having any
complaints. "If there's a big
problem. I'm not aware of it."
he said. The only problem
brought to his attention con-
cerning the machines was
earlier in the year when
freshman students had limited
access to them due to study
hall requirements.
The typewriters in the base-
ment of the McKee Library
are not a pari of the library
budget. The older gray ma-
chines were donated in 1975
by the senior class. At the
time of donation, the type-
writers were already used.
According to Lois Doherty,
the library worker in charge of
the typing area, an IBM
serviceman told her that these
second-hand machines were
pretty well worn out about two
years ago.
Three new typewriters were
purchased last year; one with
funds donated by the Student
Association, one from the
senior class and one by the
college itself.
Doherty recognizes, as part
of student's reasons for com-
plaint, that students have a
habit of waiting until the last
minute to type assignments
and an obvious bottleneck
results. She attributes the
condition of the machines to
their constant, at times, brutal
use, many of them for over six
years.
J Some suggested solutions to
the typewriter problems are to
plan work which required
typing in advance, report im-
mediately any malfunction
with a machine to the attend-
ant on duty as all machines are
on a service contract, and
finally, try to convince the
Student Association to pur-
chase a few more new ma-
chines. In reference to the last
suggested solution. Dr. Ruf
feels SA purchasing of some
new typewriters to be "more
valuable than donuts and hot
chocolate."

Christmas: has it lost its true meaning?
YES
by Rosemary Bryant
(To the tune of ' 'SUver Bells")
Bustling sidewalks
Crowded sidewalks
Neon signs in the night
Nothing's new
Still it's true
Santa's coming
Tension heightening
And it's frightening
How commercial things are
The nation's turned into one
shopping mall
Plastic trees
Gift wrapped cheese
Tinsel and lights
Yes, it's Christmas
Christmas pies
Bloodshot eyes
The nation's caught up
in it all.
And so it goes. The year is
divided between the number
of shopping days before
Christmas and the number of
days in which the merchandise
can be returned for full credit.
Gift-giving is a noble idea,
and I'd be one of the last to
dispense with it, but let's
consider for a moment its
implications.
Mom and Dad incur
unnecessary debts doing their
parental "duty" in making
sure the kids receive all
they've asked for, while kids
make daily revisions of their
lists. And those of you for-
tunate enough to have large
families know the financial
frustrations of the season.
Everyone wants to buy a gift
for each family member (and
in some cases is expected to
do so).
I once spent Christmas with
a family who poured endless
amounts of energy and money
into buying presents. But the
whole spirit of Christmas was
absent from that home.
"I'm not getting you any-
thing 'cause you don't deserve
it."
"Why do we have to sing
anything? Can't we just open
the presents?"
"Did you see the tacky
plastic iewelry
sent?"
"What he got you costs
more than what he got me."
It made me stop and re-
evaluate the purposes for
giving. All too often the
emphasis is placed on the gift,
its quality (price tage?) re-
flecting the character of the
giver. We feel compelled to
give to some and sorry for not
being able to give to others.
Materialism rises to the sur-
face.
Plastic trees, wreaths, and
mistletoe have their place, but
there should be no room for
plastic hearts. Painted china,
ornaments, and scenery are
tions £
eptable, but painted inten-
; not.
But let me leave a word for
those aspiring young critics
who are poised, pen in hand,
to begin their "Dear Scrooge''
letters. I'm not suggesting
that gift-giving be deleted
from Christmas. What gives
more happiness than bringing
a little joy to someone you
love? And is there one of us
without the desire for love?
The gift of time, the gift of
self, wrapped in love and
offered with a cheerful heari—
that is the real spirit of
Christmas'.
scenes, Christmas cards and
letters — even the giving of
gifts (how and when); Santa
Clauses and their elk. regional
activities and foods, concerts,
carolling, programs, and
pageants.
These all vary from one part
of the country to another and
are a reflection of the cultural
and ethnic background of that
region. To deny ourselves this
wealth of music, art, and
culture is to deprive ourselves
of a rich and noble heritage.
No other season seems to
bring out the best in man's
artistic endeavors as does
Christmas.
Then there is the commeri-
cial aspect. To start with, just
about everything we do on this
earth will be tinged with
commercialism — a plain fact.
It's true that many merchants
make almost half or more of
their yeariy profits during this
season and because this is the
situation, many people de-
nounce the enjoyment that the
holiday season brings. We
often hear the wail that
"Christmas is getting so
Well, here is
week I heard a startling radio
advertisement: "Give your car
a Christmas gift it deserves —
^n oil change and a lube job ! ' '
(sick) Somehow we must
thread our way through this
commercialism and learn how
and what to give.
Lastly. Christmas obviously
has religious significance.
Many of us shy away from this
simply because we are not
comfortable with the pagan
and pseudo-Christian origins
of the holiday. It's a fact that
Jesus was not born on Decem-
ber 25 — we all know that. But
that fact shouldn't deter us
from celebrating the greatest
event to have taken place on
this earth: the birth of Jesus
Christ which set in motion the
plan of salvation.
But, here we also need to
observe caution — we are no'
worshipping the Baby Jesus or
the Virgin Mary. We are not
upholding the events in
Bethlehem above the events
which they foreshadow— the
Second Coming and our Eter-
nal Destiny. George Frederick
Handel certainly must have
had great insight when he
composed The Messiah. This
musical masterpiece depicts
the entire plan of salvation.
The whole story is there from
"For Unto Us a Child is Born"
to the majesty of "Hallelujah!
for the Lord God Omnipotent
Reigneth."
So, from these three aspects
we determine a definition and
posture as to what the "Spirit
of Christmas" is. Christmas
is: an appreciation of art,
music, and culture; it is
giving, sharing, and loving; is
is being with loved ones and
also noticing those who are
less fortunate than we are; it
is joy, hope, laughter, warmth
peace on earth, wonder, and
goodwill to men; it is rejoic-
inc in the Birth of Christ and at
the same time anticipating His
glorious Second Coming.
There is an expectation and
aura that at times sc
almost heavenly.
Have we lost the Spirit of
Christmas? No, I think not. If
we have lost it, misplaced it,
or never had it, then we surely
have missed the beautiful
theme that threads its way ,
through the whole story of
salvation because it is still ;
true, as the carol rings out,
"Man shall live forevermore
because of Christmas Day.
To which Tiny Tim, made so
famous by Charies Dickens,
would have added, "God bless
us, everyone."
Winter proposals blossom
define or explain what is
meant by "spiint" and also
say a few words about Christ-
mas itself. It is a very compli-
cated concept, but there seem
to be at least three aspects
that we might consider: the
cultural-artistic, the commer-
cial, and the religious. Inclu-
ded in the cultural, artistic able Christmases

Ineeded camels and bearers to

lArtaban sold his sapphire to
get them. The King would
never receive this gift, he
thought to himself.
Traveling as fast as he
could, Artaban made his way
across the desert and arrived
in Bethlehem— late again.
Joseph and Mary and the
King had already gone.
Artaban was staying where
there was a baby in the house
when Herod's soldiers came to
kill them. All over town he
could hear the cries of mothers
as they mourned the death of
their babies. As the soldiers
drew near the house, he
stepped outside and with the
ruby, bribed the officer not to
enter that house. He had
saved the child's life, but the
King would never receive the
ruby as a gift.
For over thirty years
Artaban traveled looking for
the King, but never finding
Him. One day he heard of a
Jesus who was being crucified
on Calvary. From the reports
it sounded as if He might be
the King. Thinking that his
pearl, the last of his gifts
might save the king, he
rushed for Calvary. As he
rounded one of the streets he
met up with a young girl
running from a group of
soldiers. "My father is in debt
and they are taking me to sell
me to pay for the debt. Save
me!" she cried. Artaban
knew what he must do. Slowly
he drew out the pearl and paid
it to the soldiers.
Suddenly the earth began to
shake and a flying tile struck
Artaban on the head. He fell
to the ground half — conscious.
Suddenly he began to move
his lips and say, "Not so. My
Lord. For when saw I thee an
Christmas is not a day or a season,
but a condition of the heart and mind.
If we love our neighbors as ourselves;
if in our riches we are poor in spirit
and in our poverty we are rich in grace;
if our charity vaunteth not itself,
but suffereth long and is kind;
if when our brother asks for a loaf,
we give ourselves instead;
if each day dawns in opportunity
and sets in achievement,
however small —
then every day is Christ's day
and Christmas is always near.

unto thee? Thirty-three years I
have looked for thee, but I
have not seen thy face, nor
ministered to thee, my King;"
and then like a whisper from
very far away, there came a
voice saying, "Verily I say to
you, Inasmuch as thou hast
done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, thou hast
done it unto me." And
Artaban smiled in death, for
he knew that the King had
received all three gifts.

Since football begi
America in 1869. thousands of
teams have competed for glory
on the gridiron. But a team
from Georgia Tech rolled over
its opponents to rack up the
highest football score ever
recorded.
On October 7, 1916 on Grant
Field in Atlanta. Georgia Tech
played Cumberland College.
One thousand curious spec-
tators were on hand to observe
the skirmish. The famed
"Rambling Wrecks" from
Georgia Tech were then
coached by John Heisman,
one of football's hallowed

Cumberiand punted to start
the game, and on the first play
from scrimmage, Georgia
Tech scored a touchdown. It
was to be the first of many.
When the score reached
28-to-O, the overpowered
Cumberiand team changed its
strategy. Instead of receiving
the ball after each Georgia
Tech score, it elected to kick
off, thus keeping the "Ram-
bling Wrecks" in their own
territory. But it did no good.
The score continued to mount
and the first quarter ended
with Georgia Tech ahead by a
score of 63-to-O.
The bewildered Cumber-
land team took refuge in
holding the ball as long as
possible, determined to keep
the score down. Nevertheless,
the first half ended with the

for yet another touchdown,
and the score mounted to

Volleyball, tennis, Christmas review
Everyone is anxious for
Christmas break. It doesn't
seem like this semester can be
over already. Why is it that
the older you get the faster
time seems to fly by? Wasn't
it just yesterday that you were
playing tag with all your 5th
grade friends?
Just l..mk about all the
different plans people are
making for THE break. Skiing
at Snows'ioe (you guys know
I'm jeaious). tanning at
Daytona Beach, seeing the
grandparents, meeting your
boyfriend's parents for the
first time, or just going home
and doing nothing. Well,
whatever it is that you plan to
do, everyone has to be excited
about getting away from
"Happy Valley" for awhile.
Merry Christmas.
Volleyball season is well
under way and Hartle's team
is out in front of the "A"
league. B league east shows
Lonto's team in front of
Harnage by a few points. B
league west has Matraka's
and Martin's team tied at this
point. The play has been very
exciting and there havi
many close games. If you're
lacking something to do some
night, drop by the gym and
watch a volleyball game!
Br sure and sign up for
basketball before you go home
for Christmas. The only other
day after Christmas break to
sign up is registration day.

Election engenders informality
LIVERPOOL. England (CH)—
Britons may have a reputation
for being stuffy souls, but a
recent episode shows British
students certainly don't lack a
sense of humor.
A Cambridge University
student recently proved this
true when he qualified to run
for Parliament in Liverpool.
That in itself isn't funny, but
the name he chose to run
under is. John Desmond
Lewis, as he
paid a $ .96 fee to change his
moniker, for ballot purposes,
to Tarquin Fintimlinbinwhin-
bimlin Bus Stop-Ftang-Ole-
Biscuit Barrel.
Not only will that title
scramble the traditional listing
of names on the ballot, it will
pose serious problems for
Mayor William Bullen, who is
required to read the full
names of Parliamentary candi-
dates in reporting election
results on national telev
Needless to say, Bullen isn't
laughing at Fintimlinbinwhin-
bimlin, Etc.'s little joke. "This
is ridiculous," he snorts. "He
may think it's a joke, but an
election is a very serious
matter."
Not so. says the erstwhile
candidate, who has the back-
ing of Cambridge's Raving
Looney Society. "1 am a
nonpolitical candidate," he
says. "I am, simply,
silly."

Two weeks ago Americans screamed, hugged and drank to
,he happiness of a new year. Hours later, after the hangovers
and football games had cleared from their minds and TV sets
the same group, at least the courageous ones, sat down to the
chore (torture) of creating New Year's resolutions that would
improve their lives. . , ■ j i
The lists reveal an outrageous medley of social indulgence
that points out American indifference like a mirror reflects a
large wart on the end of a nose.
I will go on a diet. I mil exercise. I will reduce my l:me spent
watching TV. I will stop eating sweets. I will study diligently
Equipped with the latest in a highly technological society and
seating ourselves splendidly in the dough of the world's bread
basket, we the people of the United States of America, have
limited our vocabularys to the word "more." Whoever
invented the phrase, "making a mountain out of a molehill"
was probably observing an American heap his dinner plate.
Most resolutions either suggest that we will quit using too
much of a good thing or we will take advantage of opportunities
placed before us. A large number of the world's population
can't even write a New Year's resolution.
How can one of India's starving millions resolve to eat less?
How can a primitive New Guineau native promise himself that
he will study harder? How can an isolated third world
inhabitant insist that he will decrease his TV viewing hours?
The fact that most resolutions require us to reevaluate our
method of handling what we've been handed is a sad testimony
to those of us living in the land of plenty. But there is an even
greater element of disgrace that manifests itself about this time
of year. By now. most of these resolutions have been broken.

Dear Editor.
It is unfortunate that as

many good things about what
we appreciate in people and
about things. This is my fourth

Mission emphasis comine
The week of January 19
through 26 has been desi-
gnated Mission Emphasis
Week at Southern Missionary
College, with the 19th to the
22iid covering the core of the
activities. The week begins on
Tuesday, January 19, when
Elder D. A. Roth, associate
secretary of the General Con-
ference, holds chapel in the
church. Elder Roth's main
concern is for general
missions, although he
supports and helps with stu-
dent missions as well. Elder
Roth will be coming from the
Orlando Campus where he will
be visiting on Monday.
January 18.
Mission emphasis week is
_ mainly an awareness pro-
I gram by the General Con-
I ference to acquaint the SMC
I student body with the
I church's mission outreach,"
5 Dan Kittle, student mis-
is co-president with Wayne
Dysinger. "Many students are
unaware of the diversity of the
carried on by our church."
According to Mrs. Rice,
secretary to the chaplain, stu-
dent missions provides stu-
dents with an "opportunity to
donate a year of their lives for
service while discovering
whether they really enjoy their
feild of study." Of course, the
travel opportunities and the
benefits of becoming acquain-
ted with a foreign culture are
additional pluses.
"To me. student missions
involves much more than one
year of foreign service,"
added Rosemary Bryant. "As
student missions public rela-
tions director, I am committed
to familiarizing the church
laity in the Southern Union
with the importance of mis-
sionary service as a lifestyle.
No one can be a missionary for
only one year; rather, former
student missionaries visualize
potential service areas
wherever they are."
Elder Roth will be available
for mterviews Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons from
1:15 to 5 p.m. January 19 and
20. and on Thursday morning,
January 21, from 9 to 11:30.
Those wishing to talk with
Elder Roth should call the
chaplain's office for an
appointment.
On January 26, Tuesday,
Elder Maurice Bascam,
coordinator of student
missions in the Far East, will
hold the chapel service at 11
a.m.. and he will be at a
banquet for all former and
present student missionaries
that evening in the banquet
room of the cafeteria.
The midweek service on
Wednesday. January 20, is
tentatively scheduled for the
Student Missions Club. At
press time, no details could be
given about the program.

AIA gains recognition
r
Here's a riddle for today.
What organization do you
belong to that charged you
nineteen cents dues this year
and is known by its initials
(AIA)? If you answered,
" Advent ist Intercollegiate
Association." you're correct.
According to the AIA cons-
titution, the purpose of the
organization is to represent
"the collective thought and
opinion of all student govern-
ments of Seventh-day Adven-
tist instutitions of higher edu-
cation and their respective
members, and through which
representation to and com-
munication with other relevant
bodies shall be fostered."
Other purposes are to assist
in promoting efficiency of
student government operation
and to coordinate channels of
communication between the
student governments of
Adventist Colleges.
AIA is administered by
officers including a President,
Vice-President of Publications
and regional Vice-Presidents.
This year's President is
Darren Morgan, last year's
Student Association President
at Columbia Union College.
The most prominent event
of the AIA is its
convention. The last conven-
tion was held at Pacific Union
College where it was voted
that the 1982 convention will
be held at Oakwood College.
Convention activities in-
clude election of officers,
workshops, discussions,
delegation voting on discussed
topics and communication
with top church officials.
Member student govern-
ments send delegates to the
conventions. Incoming as well
as outgoing Presidents, Vice-
presidents, newspaper
editors and social activity
directors are the participants.

j First, physically. Whatever a
in sows in his physical life,
it is what he will reap. Most
of us claim that someday
: will loose that extra few
Ipounds or will get on a regular
exercise program, but we
often do little more than talk
about it. With this good
intention on our mind, time
seems to slip bv and soon the
semester or year is over with
iiolhuig done about il.
Why can't this year be
different for all of us? Let us
remember Paul's words and
sow in such a way in oui
physical life that we will be
stronger, healthier people.
This admonition also applies
to our mental life. Whatever a
man sows in his mental life,
that is what he will reap. It is
true scholastically. If we fail to
study and learn the material
from our classes now we will
reap a harvest of low grades
when the semester comes to
an end. But, if we study and
prepare now for the exams,
later in the semester we are
indeed sowing wisely and will
reap accordingly.
Not only is it important in our
scholastic life, but in the
things we let our minds dwell
on. The mental harvest we will
reap later will be determined
hy whether we think on things
of ihis world or on things that
will up lift the mind and draw
us closer to Christ. Whatever
a man sows in his mental life,
that is what he will reap.
Finally, it is true in our
spiritual life. Whatever a man
sows spiritually, that is what
he will also reap. We have all
tried at one time or another to
begin a meaningful spiritual
life with God— some with
greater success than others.
This year, let us determine to
have a greater spiritual life
than ever before. By reading
and studying our Bibles,
through prayer and sharing
our faith with others, we will
be sowing in such a way that
will produce a good spiritual

Aweiit Delayed
Super Bowl will be played in a
little more than a week. The
school, of course, is already
preparing to accomodate the
huge viewing audience.
Several T.V. sets will he
set up around campus to make
sure Ihai everyone has a good
seat. Because problems have
developed in the past by
mixing certain types of
viewers, it has been decided to
let each group have its own
T.V. The following sites have
been designated:
The Student Center— The
Student Center will be solely
for guvs who only take time to
watch one game a year— the
Super Bowl. They will be able
to talk all through the game on
every subject besides the
game and annoy themselves.
Talge Hall Rec Room— This is
expected to be the center of
Super Bowl activity on
campus. Preferred seating will
be reserved for the guys who
have lived in the Rec Room
since September. The Deans
feel it would be a violation of
■their squatter's rights to deny
Ihem this privilege.
Also, during half-time Dean
Evans will present Herb
McCoy with the M.V.V. {The
Most Valuable Viewer) award.

who don't have their boy-

will be set up. But the girls
will have to provide their own
coat-hanger and tin foil for an
antenna.
The Gym— The P.E. Depart-
ment has agreed to sponsor a
T.V. set in the gym. This is
expected to reduce the num-
ber of obnoxious P.E. majors
in the Talge Hall Rec Room
who feel it is their duty and
life-calling to display their
complete knowledge of the
rules and history of football.

New name discussed
The faculty of Southern
Missionary College convened
in a meeting on Tuesday,
January 19, partially for the
purpose of airing their feel-
ings concerning the proposed
name change of Southern
Missionary College.
Brian Strayer, Chairman of
the name change committee,
presented a summary of the
committee's findings up to
date. The top six name choices
as seen by the committee, are:
Southeastern College, South-
eastern Adventist College,
Southeastern Memorial Col-
lege. Southeastern Christian
College, Sutherland College
and Wright College.
In an informal hand poll, the
majority of the faculty seemed
10 prefer Southeastern Col-
lege. Southerland College, a
geographical and biographical
combination of "Sutherland
College," was preferred by a
few others.
The faculty input is, of
course, just that— input. The
final decision of whether the
college will indeed change its
name— and if so. what to—
will be determined during a
February board meeting.
Student input, as indicated
by survey results, is similar to
faculty consensus. Students
picked Southeastern College
as their number one choice.
"Southeastern" also appear-
ed in the second and third
choices. Southeastern Adven-
tist College and Southeastern
Memorial College.
According to Dr. Wayne
Thurber, Public Relations
Director at SMC, alumni let-
ters he has received tend to
also agree with both faculty
and student sentiments.
College administrators see
the need for a name change as
the prerequisite to increasing
the job market tor graduates.
Another reason for a name
switch is to further open up
the big business contribution
market.
Dr. Frank Knittel, college
President, mentioned that the
change may even be made
soon enough to allow for the
new name to appear on this
year's diplomas.
Whatever the change, if
any, the spirit of SMC is likely

2/SOUTHERN ACCENT/January 21, 1982
Is eiperimental knowledge superior to expenential know-
ledge? Indeed, is a reasoned, logical explanation neqessary for
knowledge, or is that merely the scientific traditional paradigm
for seeking truth? Experimental knowledge, I maintain, will
remain necessary for predictabUity and generalizabUity,
Experiential truth remains unique to each individual and thus
cannot be used for prediction or generalization with
populations.
Let me backtrack for a moment. Yes, I am saying eternal truth
cannot be shared efficiently. (Remember, "eternal truth"
remains— and always will remain— in the realm of experiential
knowledge, at least until "that which is in part shall be done
away." I Corinthians 13:9,10). Do eternal realities exist apart
from our understanding of them? At the moment that an eternal
principle is grasped by our limited understanding, it is
relegated to the same domain as our capacity to understand,
thereby becoming imperfect and thus mortal.
Someone may say, what about gravity? Does that eternal
principle cease to exist because I understand it? But wait a
minute. Just because we're subject to the law of gravity doesn't
mean we understand it. In fact, there exist theories, such as the
"graviton theory," to explain gravity, but no one has really
demonsfrated why an object falls earthward if it is close enough
to this planet. If we knew exactly what gravity was, we could
devise ways to no longer be under its subjection; thereby it
would cease to exist as an absolute, irrefutable, eternal
principle. {Please note gravity is a secular example of spiritual
realities such as heaven, angels, God, etc.)
It seems then that when an eternal reality permits its being
understood by humans, it then ceases to exist as an eternal
principle, but is imperfect, in symbolic form perhaps, a shadow
or skeleton of what cannot be seen or understood.
Faith then becomes the medium of the will by which we defy
(or at least leap beyond) logic and reasonable explanation,
accepting revelation as infallible, and thus coming under its
power to propagate our belief until it becomes firmly grounded
in experiential knowledge.
Experimental knowledge usurps experiential knowledge in
genejalizability, however, so why do we attempt to share that

which can only be individually understood or attained?
(Especially doctrines, which have no meaning apart from
Christ— they're open to anyone's interpretation— and Christ
has no meaning apart from experiential knowledge, which is
individually unique— not generalizable.)
Yet we continue to teach, word for word, our traditional
doctrines to our church's chydren growing up and to
non-Adventists in evangelistic meetings. Granted, they're more
Christ-centered than they used to be, but still have a long way to
go in being individually understood internally as an inseparable
part of a walk with Christ. I have found in my own life
(experientially) that the church's interpretations of scripture,
handed down for me to "study and understand;" (actually, that
means to study the Bible until you can understand it the way the
church 'always has,' which is not the case anyway as the
church fathers have disagreed before;) have only given me
something tangible to rebel against, rather than transforming
my life through the power of God.
I believe an exposure to the Bible (a thorough, deep,
thought-provoking search) will be more an influence for good
than sharing a particular interpretation as the "truth."
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready
always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason
ofthe hope that is in you with meekness and fear." I Peter 3:15.
And I believe a famous author once said something about our
youth bemg thinkers, and not mere reflectors of other men's
thoughts.
Dear Editor;
After reading the political
broadside sponsored by
McKee's in last week's issue,
I am convinced that they
should stick to seUing Little
Debbies.
The ad's prominent display
of George Washington's pic-
ture and its use of quotes from
Washington and James
Madison are an obvious effort
to relate what is commonly
known as Reaganomics to the
economic policies of 1776.
Our founding fathers were
ned
with limiting the powers of the
federal government— and for
good reason. Theirs was one
of the only true examples of
democracy in the world and
they intended to keep it that
way. Furthermore, they didn't
need a large, powerful govern-
ment. The U.S. consisted of
Letters
little more than the thirteen
original colonies populated by
less than 4 million people and
a small rural economy. That
was 200 years ago. Since then,
the fragile agrarian democracy
of 4 million people struggling
for survival has been trans-
formed into an immense in-
dustrial supergiant of over
tU'O-hundred million people.
Since 1776, we have not
only been forced to deal with
new problems like massive
unemployment, but old ones
like slavery as well. In the
process, our country has
undergone painful but neces-
sary changes.
So
nt ha
grown larger and more power-
ful not to take away our
freedoms but to properly ad-
minister a country that has

(Vietnam), two crippling oil

and increasingly tough trade

Ahhough 1 doubt any eco-

His application was one of

For one thing, Schwartz
states he would move the

Besmann holds degrees in
both Chemical and Nuclear
I Engineering. He is currently
studying possibilities for
improving breeder reactor's

problems were explained in a
slide presentation of the com-
I mittee's findings.
The need for energy alter-
natives was expressed in the
presentation. Synthetic fuels.

of present resources were
suggestions explored.
Besmann expressed con

dence on other nations for __.
energy poses three main pro
blems.
1. It causes, reliance on
another country for our
energy,
2. Our independence as a
world power is threatened by
our dependence.
3. World peace and stability
are at stake.
Not all findings were pessi-
mistic. Besmann stressed
positive aspects as well.
The cost to build new
energy plants for new energy
alternatives are lower in the
long run than present cost
America can make it's
future energy efficient but it
must start today.
When asked if American s
will seriously try to follow
some of the committee s sug
gestions, Besmann answered
"Try to guess what the
government will do. would be
like looking into a crystal ball
But to get government to act
will take a concerned America

conservation is important
Only by beginning to under
stand these issues can people

SMC's yeas and n£^s
What do SMC students like
or dislike the most at SMC?
The Southern Accent asked a
number of students that ques-
tion and received some
interesting answers.
Among the men surveyed,
the female population ranked
high on the list of likes. "I
really love the social oppor-
tunities, ' ' one young man
replied. "I'd give you her
name but 1 don't want to
embrrass her." Jay Brand
liked the friendly atmosphere
but especially the women,
while Phil Gilbert enjoyed the
"intimate nature" of SMC.
Not all students cared for
that aspect of the social life.
Rhonda Hallock thought that
the PDA (which, of course,
stands for Public Display of
Affection) on campus was
•disgusting.
Academics at SMC drew
both praise and critism.
jeveral students "greatly dis-
J'^ed" the classes where the
teachers emphasized useless
"lemorization. But many
•^"joyed teachers who created
f atmosphere conducive to
'earning,
Another student disliked
"^3chers who are "unwilling
Jbreak with tradition even in
"^ ''ght of numerous facts
J"^' encourage a break."
'°"ng Lau mentioned an
"demic standard he thought
7 slipping. "The accep-
just really like him." Michelle
Buch thought the teachers in
her major (Office Administra-
tion) were tops, while another
student said her teachers were
fantastic. "Half of my really
good friends are teachers,"
she commented.
Many of the women inter-
viewed complained about get-
ting cold showers in the
morning but they enjoyed
other aspects of college life. "I
really like the freedom com-
pared to academy." commen-
ted Carol Loree. Pam Faber
enjoyed playing hooky.
"There is nothing 1 enjoy
more," she said, "than sleep-
ing in when I should be in

One student had a streak of
sarcasm when she was inter-
viewed. "The worst thing at
SMC is the lack of obscene
phone calls this year. We're
getting only half as many as
last year." But she wasn t double standards Even better everything about everybody."

Crossroads
Superbowl XVI: who will prevail?
CINCINNATI
by John Robleon
Cincinnati's airborne attack
is why they're going to win.
With excellent players such as
rookie wide reciever Chris
Collingsworth and the lop NFL
quarterback Kenny Anderson,
who else can you go with?
The Bengals' offensive line is
the key to the game. It's kind
of tough to move mountains
like Anthony Munoy who can
take on two defensive players
at a time. An example of this
is the San Diego game when
nearly every play Munoy had
his defensive lineman 10 yards
down field.
Another rock that is hard to
stop is Big Pete Johnson. At
6'3" and 250 lbs., it will take
the whole San Francisco team
(including coach and cheer-
leaders) to bring this monster
of a man down. With Charles
Alexander's awakening in the
playoffs, he will leave the rest
of the 49ers (if there is
anything left) dazzled by his
fast moves as he did to
Buffalo.
Among the other offensive
threats is Anderson's uncanny
ability to run with the ball. As
the second leading rusher on
the team and the top rushing
quarterback in the NFL. San
Francisco's defense is going to
have headaches from the
many threats in the Bengals'
offense.
Besides having an excellent
SAN FRANCISCO
offense and coach, the
Bengals' defense will claw the
49ers to their doom. Montana
will get many tastes of the
astrofurf as Ross Browner and
the rest of the defensive line
spring on the unfortunate
quarterback. Notre Dame will
be looking very promising to
him after a defensive lineman
allows him to stand up at the
end of the game.
If, and I do mean if, Montana
does manage to throw a pass,
Riley. Le Claim, and Breeden
will be waiting for his hastily
thrown footballs.
But there is a problem, and
that is Mr. Solomon of the
49ers. His clipping, oh I I
mean blocking, abilities are
astounding. In the game
against the New York Giants,
he chased a play 10 yards just
to clip (I'm sorry, block).
However, even with Solomon
the 49ers haven't got ,
chance. Also, the loss to th.
49ers^ in regular seal
doesn t mean a thing The
Bengals aren't intimidated bv
such nonsense. They are
ready to receive those Super
Bowl rings right now.
So as a loyal fan of the
Bengals and living ten miles
from the stadium. I believe
that the Cincinnati Bengals
will play havoc on the 49ers
TRADITION
A commitment for always
deserves the artistic design
and hand finished quality of
a fine engagement watch. A
beautifiil tradition yon 've
come to expect from
Matisoffs.
MATISOFF'S FINE JEWELHV
5953 Braiiii-rd Road
The 49ers in the Super
Bowl? All year long people
have been saying, "They are
not that good; they just don't
know it." But as the year wore
on they kept beating the big
teams. Now they are going to
the Super Bowl. Linger over
that thought. Two years ago
the Nincrs won two games and
lost 14. Now they are Cham-
pions of the N.F.C.
When you tiy to figure out
why the big turn around
happened, you think of Joe
Montana and the exceptional
year he had, along with play-
ers like Fred Dean. Ronnie
Elaborate plot falls
STANFORD. Calif. (CH) - The
scheme was flawlessly de-
signed, the plans carefully
laid, the disguises cleverly
done. Everything, in fact, was
ready for 14 Stanford U.
students, several alumni, an
assortment of athletes, stu-
dent politico types, resident
advisers and a former cheer-
leader to pull off the heist of
the year.
They were going to steal the
axe, that renowned annual
trophy of the Stanford-U. of
California Berkeley football
game.
The California Bears 1980
gridiron victory had ensconced
the trophy in that school's
athletic department. But after
posing as representatives of a
major sports publication, and
then convincing Cal's sports
information director to bring
the axe out for a ceremonial
picture, the Stanford students
planned to create a diversion
(a lover's quarrel) that would
allow a nimble-fingered fresh-
Lott, Jack Reynolds and
Lawrence Fillers. But if you
stop there you haven't found
the answer.
I would venture to say the
reason is Bill Walsh, the coach
of the San Fransico 49ers.
Walsh is a man who draws up
his play book according to his
opponent, narrowing down the
number of different plays but
increasing the options off
those he selects. He gets his
kicks out of stringing together
outrageous and unexpected
football plays, and he was at
his creative best for four
minutes and three seconds of
the NFC championship
game.
With the 49ers trailing by six
points with less than five
to go, Walsh figured
was expecting a pass
ana so he mixed in running
plays, using a "washed up"
running back named Lenvil
Dallas '
man to grab the axe and take
off.
After picking up interfer-
ence from four large men
dressed casually as joggers!
he was to convey the prize to a
waiting motorcycle team,
which would pass it on to a
waiting driver, who would
pass it on to another motor-
cycle team which would, well
you get the idea. The finale
would have been a triumphant
carrying of the sacred axe into
Stanford Stadium on game
The scheme went as plan-
ned until the moment came for
the sports information direct-
or's staff to produce the axe.
It was then discovered that it
had been sent to a local trophy
shop for cleaning and refiirb-
ishing.
Exit, stage left: a group of
very disappointed would-be
thieves, leaving behind a
puzzled SID, an equally con-
hised photographer and their
dreams of stealing the axe
Elliott whom he had activated
only nine days prior to the
game. The result was Elliott's
picking up consecutive gains
of6, n, and 7yards — 31 yards
total on the final drive to lead
the 49ers to the winning score.
And so Bill Walsh had beaten
the innovative Tom Landry at
his own game.
When it comes down to
picking who will win the Super
Bowl, one guess is as good as
another. The Bengals too have
a super coach in Forrest Gregg
and their quarterback has
walked off with MVP honors,
and has been named the NFL
player of the year.
But despite these facts, I find
myself having confidence in
Montana, who has built a
reputation as a crafty practi-
tioner rarely making a
mistake. He doesn't have the
strongest arm in the NFL, but
he has developed great poise
and quickness and the abili
to make the big play.
Another key factor to co
sider is that San Fran led the
NFL this year in forcing
turnovers. In the NFC cham-
pionship game they didn'l
quite follow their format, but
despite turning the ball overt(
Dallas 6 times, they went on t(
win. They bent, they stag,
gered and they made enough
mistakes to get steam— rol-
led— but they still won.
In closing. San Fran has
beaten too many good teams
and now whether people want
to believe it or not — they
for real. They are in the Super
Bowl, facing Cincinnati— Bill
Walsh's present team against
Bill Walsh's former team-
and his present
prevail.
After all, who was the last
team to play Dallas twice in
• both
times?..

Directions
■They did everything together.
■ It was not uncommon to see
I them walking side by side
I through the universe discuss-
I ing the arrangement of galax-
I ies, or to see them sitting on a
I grassy hillside overlooking the
I City talking, planning, shar-
ling. They loved each other,
1 Michael and Lucifer.
Because of their great love, it
is a mystery how their friend-
ship was broken. Lucifer be-
Igan to question the authority
1 and position of his best
[Friend. Why wasn't he called
J into the councils of God? He
|could do things as well as —
better than-Michael! He
I should be like the Most High!
Questions festered into doubt
which burst into insurrection.
"He has done all
that is possible...'
The peaceful atmosphere of
heaven was shattered by war.
War hurts and scars and
separates friends— even in
cosmic battles. Lucifer and his
rebellious followers fought
against Michael and His loyal
followers, but they lost. With
tears streaming down His
face, the Prince of Love cast
Lucifer from heaven.
Millenniums rolled on and
the two grew farther and
farther apart. Things hadn't
changed much. Lucifer still
wanted to run his own life, he
wanted it his way. The love for
his Friend was now gone and
he raged war on everything
that bore His name— nature.
Scripture, people— trying to
destroy, or change or pervert
them. He seemed to be
successful. Michael watched
the centuries grind on with
tear-dimmed eyes that fore-
saw Lucifer's end.
The history of sin is now
concluding. For one last time
the two once friends meet for a
final battle Satan, his eyes
gleaming in defiance, looks
over the vast army of men and
angels that wanted things as
he did. He sees the billions
that wanted to have it their
way, to run and rule their own
lives, and he marches them
into position around the City.
Michael, too, looks on in
broken-hearted sympathy. He
has done all that is possible for
those outside, but they refus-
ed His help. His mind is far
from the battle scene sur-
rounding Him. He is not
concerned for the outcome of
[Origin of conveniences
this battle, for it was decided
long ago on a lonely hill in
Palestine. His mind is on
those who refused Him. His
mind is on Lucifer.
A signal is given. The
wicked rush the City to des-
troy it and fire falls from
Heaven to consume them and
their sin forever. As the fire
bums, the righteous, the ones
who had chosen to submit to
the leadership of Christ, turn
their gaze upon the newly
crowned King. He sits nobly
on His throne, crown of victory
on His head, scepter of ruler-
ship in His hand and tears
tumbling down His face.

right, Philo Remington
land Henry Ford are two of the
Imost notorious frauds in the
■history of modern science.
"For years it was commonly
Iheld that Remington and Ford
great inventors,"
I Brummenthaler recently
Istated, "but optimal re-
I searchers both in Europe and
■ica now have solid evi-
|dence to the effect that their
3-called inventions to a large
I extent were the products of
I natural causes."
Brummenthaler is highly
I critical of what he calls the
I western technological naivete.
I "It is ridiculous to think that
I Remington, a simple peasant
I from Ohio, suddenly should
I have come up with such a
I radically new concept as a
1 typewriter," he continued. "It
• nothing less than astound-
ig that educated people
I should fall for simplistic re-
I ductions of that nature."
According to Dr.
I brummenthaler, optimal re-
search has established that
I the basic units of the type-
I writer were developed by
natural causes in a peat bog
south of Pittsburg. Peat, iron
I °^e. compost and various
other elements have evidently
reacted chemically in a way
"ot fully understood, but
whLch. quite effectively, pro-
ved Remington with a pro-
"aential discovery.
^^"lington must have
stumbled upon this incredible
jevice on one of his frequent
I '•"""ng trips and made a
^rtune by palming it off as a
I ^.^'^ntific invention," Dr.
'^mmenthaler charges. He
I ,.^'s that this is the only
J^ofy which can account for
1 "',"^st spots on Remington's
St model.
When it comes to Henry
Ford, the Swiss professor calls
him "the greatest perpetrator
of scientific fraud this worid
has ever seen." He claims
that American optimal re-
searchers finally have called
the bluff.
Information long hidden in
the files of the Ford Motor
Company and the Michigan
Historical Society is supposed
to prove that Ford certainly
did not invent the automobile.
"People not used to scientific
thinking do not seem able to
exercise their critical faculties
if a great name is involved,"
says Dr. Brummenthaler.
According to the Society for
Optimal Research, the various
components of the automobile
were years in the making,
again largely through natural
causes. Information derived
from the colonial archives of
Detroit indicates that the great
Ottawa war chief Pontiac.
during the siege of Detroit in
1763. tried to buy the freedom
of captured Chippewa chief in
return for a carburator. Com-
mander Henry Gladwin at the
Detroit fort took the device,
but refused to release the
Indian.
Brummenthaler is con-
vinced that Gladwin left the
carburator in the fort when he
left, and that this was where
Henry Ford found it. The pro-
fessor charges that Ford tried
to cover this up. but that
General Motors decided to
shame him by dedicating a
line of its cars to the great
chief.
Apart from the carburator,
optimal researchers have not
been able to pin-point the
discovery of the other com-
ponents of the automobUe.
They claim that the piston rod
was well known among the
Incas before Cortez, but they
cannot account for how Ford
was made aware of this.
When it comes to the body
itself, Dr. Brummenthaler
believes Henry Ford found it
in an abandoned mine shaft in
the early 1890's. where it
probably had developed quite
spontanously as a result of a
severe thunder storm.
Other optimal researchers
disagree. They attach more
significance to an 18th-century
frontier diary left by a close
friend of Indian agent George
Croghan wherein the writer
claims to have seen the
Shawnee warrior chief
Hokolosqua (otherwise known
as chief Cornstalk) ride around
in a vehicle which may very
well have been a primitive
automobile.
These researchers point to
the fact that Buffalo droppings
and prairie grass in a thunder
storm can react with almost
nuclear intensity. "We cer-
tainly cannot preclude the
spontaneous emergence of the
entire automobile, ' ' one
expert says.
Brummenthaler, disagree-
ing with this view, believes it
would be more correct to work
on the theory of independent
development of the various
components and give Ford the
credit of having put it all
together. "But. of course,
starting out with all the parts,
that was hardly more than
putting together a jig-saw
puzzle," Brummenthaler
adds.
Brummenthaler and the
Society for Optimal Research
claim that man's blind faith in
a Creator is responsible for the
prevalent scientific naivete
characterising the industria-
lized narions. For years and
years people were fed cheap
and simplistic explanations
about the origin of the world
through divine creation.
Gradually people came to
"When the love of Christ is enshrined in the heart, like sweet
fragrance it cannot be hidden. Its holy influence will be felt by
all with whom we come in contact. The spirit of Christ in the
heart is like a spring in the desert, flowing to refresh all and
making those who are ready to perish, eager to drink of the
water of life.
Love to Jesus will be manifested in a desire to work as He
worked for the blessing and uplifting of humanity. It will lead to
love, tenderness, and sympathy toward all the creatures of our
heavenly Father's care."
Steps to Christ, p. 76
"Dear friends, let us practice loving each other, for love
comes from God and those who are loving and kind show that
they are getting to know him better."
I John 4:7 The Living Bible
apply this to technology so
that by the time Remington
and Ford presented them-
selves to the world as
inventors of astounding new
machines, people were con-
ditioned to believe them.
Concludes Dr.
Brummenthaler, "When we

complicated than an automo-

When this season started,
most people expected San
Francisco and Cincinnati to
finish about where they did
the previous season — last and
next to last in their respective
divisions. What they did was
become the two best teams in
Pro football this year.
Neither team made it to the
Super Bowl on the luck of a
semi-good record in a
mediocre division. They
finished with the best records
in their conferences; they beat
the "best" teams along the
way, and they beat the "best"
again in the playoffs.
The 49ers have been noth-
ing short of magnificent. Over
the past 4 months dating back
to September 17, 1981. they
have won 14 games while
losing only one. This includes
two 7-game winning streaks
with the loss coming in the
middle.
They have also beat a team
that many thought would be in
the Super Bowl this year—
the Dallas Cowboys. They
beat the tough Cowboys 45-17
in the regular season, and to
silence the critics for good
by Mike Burks
they topped Dallas again 28-27
in the N.F.C. championship
game.
The Cincinnati Bengals
have been just about as im-
pressive, losing only 4 games
this year. They too have
played a team twice that many
thought would make it to the
Super Bowl this year— the San
Diego Chargers. Both times
the Chargers were crushed;
40-17 in the regular season
and 27-7 in the title game.
The 49ers lost only to
Detroit, Atlanta, and
Cleveland. The Bengals lost
only to Cleveland, Houston,
New Orleans, and San
Francisco. Neither team lost to
anybody who made it to the
playoffs except for the
Bengals loss to the 49ers,
21-3. Cleveland is the only
team that beat both Super
Bowl teams— and both of
those games were won by 3
point margins.
Both teams are young and
inexperienced, yet managed
to beat the experienced. As
young as they are, both
coaches are responsible over
the past 3-4 years for having
built their teams to what they
are now. The 49ers and the
Bengals have the two top
rated quarterbacks in pro foot-
ball this year, and both teams
are making their first trip ever
to the Super Bowl.
If these two teams don't
seem even enough, then con-
sider the fact that Cincinnati
scored 54 more points than
San Francisco in the regular
season, yet gave up exactly 54
more points than the 49ers.
Both teams lost 12 fumbles
during the season. Anderson
threw 10 interceptions while
Montana threw 12 intercep-
tions (This is understandable
because over the 16 game
season Montana threw a total
of 11 more passes than
Anderson!)
It would be the only fittinE
end to such a super year tor
these two teams to give us a
Super Bowl full of excitemeni
and top-level play. The odds-
makers raie San Francisco as a
slight favorite, but when « s

rumbles softly and then spits
out another card. Now with
interest the man grabs it and
reads: "Five Years Later. You

business goes bankrupt."
The man is fascinated. He
pushes "death averted"
again. The data card is quickly
returned. "Ten Years Later.
You will have a lovely wife and
two wonderful children, but be
killed in a plane crash."
By now the man was totally
enthralled with the machine
and continued time and time
again to push "death aver-

playing with the apparatus he

Night passed into early
morning. A barely discemable
wind swept clouds nearby and
soon a soft rain silently
covered the streets. As the

was struck by lightning and
killed, while pushing "death

My Dobie broke out in
laughter. He snickered that
sarcastic way that only a
catnip wasted Doberman can.
(He thinks he's real smart
because he has a pedigree and
I don't.) I told him I failed to
see the humor in his story.
"You probably don't." he
replied. "That's the problem
with you humans. You have all
the information, all the
technology, all the answers
you'll ever need. If you guys
would just apply what you've
got. you could solve a lot of
your own problems— a lot of
the world's problems. But you
don't. You get so involved m

IMPORTANT:
All sophomore theology stu-

the battery of five tests for
those preparing for the
ministry. The deadline for
taking the tests in the Student
Center Testing office is
January 25.
The tests are not threaten-
ing; rather, they intend to help
the student better understand
himself in relationship to the
professional role of the
minister. The role of the tests
is a self-analysis to provide
insight as to areas of strength
and weakness, thus making it
possible to reach for goals of
improvement where needed.
The tests have been field
tested for several years.
One test strongly recom-
mended for wives and fiances
can also be taken along with
the other five. (By the wife or
fiance, of course).

lee obse/tyations
The sign-up for next years' SA officer candidates wiU soon
end and the campaigning will begin. Listed below are the duties
up for grabs, the annual salary for each and my evaluation of job
responsibilities.
SA President. $1,400. This job should be scratched off of your
list of considerations unless you either a) won't be taking many
hours b) don't mind making poor grades c) want to neglect your
duties. In other words, this is a job where you earn your keep.
Some weeks are easier than others, but the tough weeks are
tough. The president must work closely with school adminis-
trators and must be able to bring to the student senate the bad
news time after time that "the faculty voted it down again."
SA Vice President. Jl.OOO. If you were discouraged by the fact
that you will have a heavy class load next year and you can't run
for SA President, why not try the vice president's position.
There are two ways you can earn your keep, a) if you are
innovative and constantly ask "what can 1 do now." b) if the
President is sick for most of the year. Like many assistant
positions (including the government's) the vice president comes
as close to a figurehead position as our democratic system
allows. A better name for the position might be Assistant to the
Social Activities Director.
Social Activities Director. $700. Creativity and hard work are
needed for this position that's an activity of its own. By the time
one banquet is over, you can get ready for the next one — or
perhaps start planning for a talent show. The help of some of
the other SA officers is solicited for this job. Get ready for hard
work, but — because the title doesn't sound quite as impressive
as some others — low pay.
Student Services Director. $700. If the sound of $700 dollars
seems to you like a lot of money for conducting cookie breaks
and showing Friday afternoon flicks — go for it. The Student
Services director has one other responsibility— to find new ways
to help students. Take that to mean what you will.
Southern Memories Editor. SI200. One semester of hard work,
24 hour days and tough leadership are essential for meeting
deadlines. Photography knowledge is a must; drive is of no less
importance.
Southern Accent Editor. $1600. This is the highest paid job of
theSAoffices. Forty, fifty, even sixty hours a week on the job is
not uncommon in order to maintain a well run newspaper. There
is little room for sluffing. The editor has the privilege of having
praise whispered in one ear while obscenities are being
whispered in the other.
Joiter Editor. $275. If you don't mind a bad start to a busy year,
becoming Joker editor might be for you. Classes must be
neglected and sleep ignored for the first two weeks — or two
months, if you don't student wrath— of school. If the job is well
managed, you get paid peanuts. If not, you earn more than
enough.
For any SA position to be handled effectively, classes must, at
times, tak^econd place to your job. Is it worth it? Are we not
going to school for classroom study? Ah, that's an editorial all

that John Robison was show-

team. If they were not, they
would not have made it to the

quoted quite a few very
impressive statistics, also. 1
suggest, Mr. Robison, that

Dear Editor.
1 am concerned about the
earrings and slit skirts on
campus. The women's hand-
book clearly states that
earrings and jewelry are not to
be worn. It also slates that
modest attire is to be worn.
Slits are not modest.
I challenge Ihe adminis-
tration and faculty to do
something about this. Our
school was founded on sound
standards: lets keep it the way
it was. Thank you.
Sincerely
Cindy Torgesen
Dear Editor.
We here at Southern Mis-
sionary College have been
faced with the task of
renaming our school. Several
ideas have been thrown
around! "Lynn Wood Col-
lege," "Southeastern Col-
lege," and "College of the
South — " just to name a few.
In light of the task at hand 1
propose we name the college
"Southern Military College."
It seems to be just what
we've been looking for. First,
we can keep our initials,
something "Lynn Wood Col-
lege," "Southeastern Col-
lege," and "College of the
South" do not offer. Second,
we would have no problem
raising funds for college.
We'd have dropped the word
Missionary and added a word
whose bottom line means
strength. Third, our graduates
would have no problem get-
ting jobs. They would leave
our halls with the reputation of
being disciplined, well-trained
citizens ready to take on
America's toughest problems.
Now there ivouW have to be
some changes. The adoption
of rank for instance. President
Frank Knittel would now be
known as General Frank
Knittel. Dean of Students
Everett Schlisner would now
be Colonel Everett Schlisner,
and so on on down to to deans.
For the men. Captain Evans
would man the barracks along
with his counterpart Captain
Runyan in the women's bar-
racks.
Rank would also serve as a
means of rewarding chapel
and worship attendance. How-
ever, a more considerable hop
in rank would be given those
enlisted personnel who
maintained a high GPA.
The uniform is another
necessary change. I'll admit I
don't particularly like the
idea, but it does take care of
the jean war in the mess hall.
From our new name would
come a new image. From the
new image new needs.
McKee's could add a new line
producing field rations. Our
body shop could enlarge to
include a department to re-
finish Willy's jeeps and staff
cars. T'iis in ".irii .vould
expand the motor pool, (who,
under the direction of Master
Sgt. Bill McKinney. will paint
all the vans drab green and
the buses will be
camouflaged).
Besides expanding nearly
every department, the new
name also has the potential of
cutting cost! First, heating
costs could be cut by turning
the heat off in the barracks
while the troops are oul in
their mandatory, one-week-a-
month survival maneuvers^
Second, the money it woul"
take to tear down Lynn Wood
and Jones Halls could be
saved, because the cadets
could use these structures for
artillery practice.
Yes we should name our
school "Southern Militaiy
College." If for u" .'J'''^
reason, it at least beats Col-
lege of the South."
Sincerely Vours.

students this week. The pur-
pose was to get acquainted
with the students that will be
looking for jobs in the next
year or two.
The superintendants inter-
viewed only on Wednesday,
and went to meetings for their
benefit on Monday, Tuesday,
and Thursday. Each of those
attending the meetings inter-
viewed an average of 24 to 28
students on Wednesday.
To the students, this was a
mere formality. It was a
chance to let the educational
curps of the Southern Union
know what skills were avail-
able and to let the students
meet some of the possible
future employers of that field.
Most of the students inter-

commented on the large num-
ber of potential teachers.
Elder D. K. Griffith, Dr.
Nonvida Marshall, and Dr.
Don Weatherall from the
office were here all week
helping with the interviews
and conducting the meetings.
This week was not a session
for hiring. It was merely a
getracquainted period for the
students and the educational
administration of the Southern
conferences. At this point,
none of the superintendants
know of any openings in their
conferences and could give no
positive hope to the students.
However, this does not mean
that the Southern Union will
not be hiring any new per-

year. It merely means that it is

Age discrimination: is 23 justifiable?
w
I ^/ by Dean Schll

Dean Schllsner
It seems that throughout our
lives we have always been
presented with 21 as being
that magical age when a
person is regarded as a re-
sponsible adult, when he takes
full consequence for his
actions, and — in legal terms —
when contracts are binding
and full punishment is dealt
through the law.
But here at Southern
Missionary College this is not
the case when discussing resi-
dence hall living. The College
bulletin states that "living in a
college residence hall with its
daily 'give and take' prepares
the student to meet life with
equanimity, teaches respect
for the rights and opinions of
others, and offers a first-hand
experience in adjusting to a
social group."
The bulletin continues to say
that to assure the students of
this beneficial experience, it is
required to live in the dorm if

"Free Enterprise, Australian
Style," will be presented in
Summerour 105 on thursday
evening, January 28, at 8 p.m.
Keavney's present lecture

Australia through Europe and

hours, are unmarried, and not
living with parents.
But where does the beneficial
experience come in the dorm
where a student must cope
with real life— dealing with a
financial budget, and forming
your own life style? We under-
stand that the reasons behind
the present 23 age rule is to
mold and guide students into
an Adventist lifestyle.
But don't you think that by
the time a student reaches 20
or 21 years of age that he will
begin to regard the regula-
tions of dormitory life as being
juvenile, since he/she is now
regarded as a responsible
adult by society? These
restrictions could even be
more detrimental than benefi-
cial. For example, TVs aren't
allowed in the dorm rooms. A
responsible adult of 20 or so
who enjoys relaxing with a TV
in the evenings might be
tempted to break this rule, as
he or she could enjoy this
relaxation if in an apartment
off campus.
A random survey revealed
that slightly over half the
students here have lived on
their own for a substantial
period of time or during the
summers, feeling that this
type of housing is more
beneficial— particularly in
monetary value. This school
faces a problem of decreasing
enrollment with one of the
major causes being lack of
adequate finances. The sav-
ings of living off campus
present a brighter picture for
successfully meeting the
college's other financial
obligations.
Consider this: wouldn't
parental permission to live on
one's own come sooner than
the age of 23? In most cases
considerably sooner, 1
suspect.
Since thoughts interact to
produce decisions, as long as
what we do is dictated for us,
the harder it will be to make
personal choices in the future.

Southern Missionary College
is primarily a 4-year liberal
arts boarding school. Unless
you are 23 years of age or
older, you are required to live
in a residence hall. My posi-
tion on this issue is that 23 is
not too old an age limit to
permit off-campus living.
T he mainritvnf students who
aticnd SMC between the
ages nt IS and l\ . Most
graduates arc IZ years of age
or less. Our constituents are
drawn mainly from boarding
academies and are familiar
with the SDA residence hall
system, thus making the
college residence living expe-
rience quite smooth.
Currently SMC operates four
residence halls — Thatcher.
Talge, Jones and the nurses'
residence hall on the Orlando
campus. The combined capac-
ity of these four buildings can
house 1,450 students. As of
this date, the number of
students living in residence is
approximately 1 ,260, which
shows we are not operating at
full capacity. If we were to
lower the age limit to 22 the
potential group of students
who could live out of the
residence halls would be
approximately IbO. If this
entire 22-year-old group
moved out, plus the 70 who
are 23 (or older), we would
face some financial difficultv.
From the above facts a
person can quickly conclude
that one of the major reasons
for keeping the age limit for
non-residence hall living at 23
years of age involves finances.
The overhead cost of operat-
ing a residence hall designed
and equipped lo handle '^00
people is approximately the
same whciher there are 350 or
500 students in the residcute
hall.
There are other factors in-
volved in this issue such as
controlled environment. Due
to our Christian philosophy
and commitment to the
Seventh-day Adventist life-
style, we design and operate
our residence hall program to
enhance and perpetrate these
idea. Thus, we firmly believe
that residence hall living is a
viable and important pan of
the total educational package
we offer at SMC.
Wolff gets educated

Slow but sure wins the race,

Harvey Wolff of Wantagh.
N.Y., probably set a record
recently when he received a
bachelor of business adminis-
tration degree from Hofstra
University. Wolff began his
education in 1957 and, taking
only two years off, finished up
in 1981.
He started as an electrical
engineering major, moved to
the education department
when deciding to become a
teacher, then settled in
business. The final choice was
more in keeping with his
career— Wolff works as a con-
tracts administrator for the
Bulova Systems and Instru-
ments Corporation.
During his 24-year student
career, Wolff picked up 150
credits— well over the 128
needed for graduation. He
also managed to prove some-
thing to his two sons (ages 16
and 18) and to his own father,
Wolff says he showed his sons
"that whatever goal you sci.
you can accomplish your
objective regardless of how
long it takes, provided you
have determination." As w
his father, he disproved the
elder WolfTs theory that he d
never amount to anything,
because he lacked education.

Time Out
Are you making plans for
your ftjture recreational life in
addition to your work life? The
HPER Division has been
making plans for next year to
help you in this direction. Two
of the more popular physical
activitiy courses have been the
S.C.U.B.A. and Recreational
Activities courses. Beginning
next year an activity course
description added to the
college catalog titled "Special
Activities" will allow a variety
of courses to be taken for
credit for those with specific
interests.
For instance , the week
preceding fall registration a
water skiing camp will be held
at Lake Ocoee. This will be an
ideal time to relax between the
summer's work and the fall
grind for beginning skiers or
experts.
During the early part of the
fall semester a sailing class
limited to 8 will be offered on
Friday afternoons and Sun-
days. This will include exper-
ience in both small and cruis-
ing size craft.
Also for the fall session a
class in rock climbing will be
offered and will progress from
the campus mountains to the I
cliffs of Lookout Mountain.
Each of these courses will
have a surcharge in addition to
tuition if taken for credit.
Those taking the courses for
sign-up
priorities.
Second semester a course in
snow skiing will be offered.
The class will meet weekly
until the spring break for
films, ski techniques and
conditioning work. At that
time a school sponsored Colo-
rado trip will depart College-
dale. All are welcome for this
trip, (hopefully for about
$300.00) though the class
members will receive morning
instruction on the slopes. The
spring break schedule for next
year has been revised to
include two weekends making
this trip feasible.
Make plans to learn or
improve a recreational skill
next year in an area you can
really enjoy!

Dear Editor,
I would like to address this theater attendance, TV watch- As a student in an educa-
letter towards the subject of ing. jewelry, church attend- tional institution, and espec-
rules. It seems to me that we
have a problem that needs to
be resolved. Let me use a
story to illustrate it:
A three-year-old boy comes
into the kitchen where his
mother is cooking supper. As
he stands at his mother's side,
he sees the bright red glow
coming from a burner on the
stove. In fascination, he
reaches out. towards the burn-
ing coil. His mother, seeing
what her son is about to do.
any othe
ted rules. What I am trying to
say is that it is past time that
we look at the principles
behind the rules.
I'm sure that there are valid
reasons underlying the reg-
ulations that we hold here.
Unfortunately, our answer to
most individuals questioning
the regulations has been that
"those are the rules and that
is why we do them."
This response is simile
slaps his hand first and tells the ignorance of the Jewish
' to touch
nation when confronted with
the principles set forth by
Jesus Christ. It was easier to
do the rules than to under-
stand them.
ially a Christian institution, I
would like to challenge admin-
istrators and fellow students
alike to THINK. It is not
enough to quiet the objectors
by handing them a student's
handbook of rules. We need
to understand WHY we do the
things that we have to do.
In order to comprehend
fully the necessity for rules,
we must understand the un-
derlying principles BEFORE
we burn our hands in ignor-
ance. Only then, after we
have used our minds to think,
can we really say that we have
learned anything!

This past week Americans
observed both the one-hun-

address on the state of

The conjuncture of these two
events has provided a catalyst
for comparing Ronald Reagan
with Franklin Roosevelt. The
most obvious conclusions cite
the sharp contrast between
them, a conclusion not without
warrant considering the cur-
rent president's renunciation
of the policies of the past fifty
years. On the other hand there

guilty of erroneous statistical

which television so effectively

so important for his success
thus far. This ability to turn on
for the red light of the camera
seems particularly pro-
nounced when he is delivering
a prepared script. Quite pro-
bably the greatest impressions
from his recent address were
left not by the substance of his

be doubtful, but as Reagan
repeatedly says, it will take
more than a few months to
undo years of damage.

chances for success would
improve if he took two lessons
from Roosevelt. First, Reagan
should temper his ideological
commitment with Roosevel-
tian pragmatism — become
open to alternatives outside
his current philosophy. Being
doctrinaire may suit a theo-
logian, but it rarely is an asset
for a president.
Second, Reagan should re-

government. Not that a
trimming of unnecessary
regulatory agencies and a
cutback of some services is
undesirable, but regardless of
our fondest wishes to return to
an era of small government
and local control, the realities
of modern life simply do not
permit it.
Reagan would better serve
the nation if he would replace
his unremitting attacks on the
evils of big government with
an approach stressing the
positive features of govern-
ment albeit in reduced form.
In so doing Reagan might well
take his place among
America's notable leaders
who creatively met the pro-
blems afflicting our nation.

Sweethearts of SMC; your

I have forgotten what next Sun-
I day. February 14, is, or the
I duties it entails, I have dedica-
I ted this column to you.

' journalism as a profes-
f*"." says Both, who is
Ijnajoring in both History and
■ Communications.
J °oth feels too much empha-
I ^ IS placed on the negative
message like "You stold my
heart- N. Bonaparte." His
wife, home alone with scream-
ing kids, a sick dog and
back-up plumbing, probably
began putting the finishing
touches on the Waterloo cam-
paign.
And then there was Noah.
Being quite a bit more of a
romanticist than Napoleon, he
took his wife for a very
memorable cruise on the Love
Boat, probably the first ever
recorded. I must admit he did
go a little overboard with his
surprise.
Henry VIII was original, to
say the least. When Valen-
tme's Day came each year, he
avoided buying costly pre-
sents by simply getting a new
wife. In the long run. his
stinginess sort of caught up
with him, but the plan
definitely worked for a while.
That is, until all his invest-
ments banded together and
demanded alimony and
chocolates every month.
And, speaking of origi-
nality. William Shakespeare
was a prime example. Always
a shy lad, he found expressing
himself extremely difficult,
whether in writing or speak-
ing. He did manage to slip his
wife a note once which read,
"How do 1 love thee? Let me
count the ways." As far as we
know, this one experience was
so unnerving that he never
wrote anything else.
Being more current, do any
of you happen to know how
Jerry Falwell celebrates
Valentine's Day? Well, last
year he bought his wife a
long-sleeved nightshirt with
Norman Lear's picture on the
front. (For those of you who
are interested, the Campus
Shop is now carrying these.) I
believe he's planning to be a
bit more conventional this
year though.
Last but never least. Steven
Dickerhoff. In addition to his
New Year's predictions, which
he thoughtfully published last
week, he really did make some
New Year's resolutions. I
managed to procure the mile-
long list and discovered that
he intends, if he ever gets
married, to buy his wife a
bright-red heart-shaped
washer every February 14. He
really does have a method to
his madness.
Anyhow, everyone has their
own unique way of expressing
themselves. After all, as some
anonymous philosopher once
said, "It's the thought that
counts."
news and hopes to change this
with the introduction of
reports from the dorms and
features about local individ-
uals. This trend will not ignore
the controversial issues which
Both intends to attack head on
to get the facts that let the
people know.
Both also wants to improve
on the religion section of the
paper by keeping it more than
just trivia, but yet not too
theologically heavy.
About the Accent, the 26
year-old candidate says, "I'm
committed to making it the
best it possibly can be."
•••*•••**•**•***•
Smith would like to see more
features and student /faculty
input represented in the pages
of the new Accent. She plans
on working towards making
the paper a balance of local
and world issues while keep-
ing it interesting and appeal-
ing for the students as well.
Smith intends to maintain the
consistent editorials estab-
lished this year and looks to
the job to provide valuable
experience which she will be
able to use in future profes-
sional capacities.
Twenty-one year-old Bridget
Knox, a freshman Art major,
aspires to be the editor of the
1982-83 Southern Memories.
Knox conceded that the job
has been a dream since her
high school days when she
participated in the preparation
of the yearbook. She would
like to see, and will try to
include photographs of events
from the previous spring
semester for the benefit of
returning students. Knox also
intends to make efficient use
of all available space and
include thorough coverage of
events at the Orlando campus.

Black History Week
I Missionary College
and ihc Afro-American Club is
sponsoring Black History
Week from February 8-13.
The nation-wide celebration
was set aside by the U.S.
Congress in 1929 to emphasize
black history and culture,
according to Everett
Schlisner, Dean of Students.
Special programs include a
chapel talk by J. Paul Monk on
Thurday. vespers by CD.
Brooks of the Breath of Life
television program and a
musical program by the
Oakwood College Choir on
Sabbath, February 13.
An innovative feature this
year was the opening chapel
talk on Tuesday by Dr. Frank
Knitiel. "This is the first time
a TUin-black speaker has start-
ed Black History Week." says
Dr. Lorenzo Grant, coordinat-
or for the week and sponsor of
the Afro-American Club. "But
we think Dr. Knittel is a fitting
person be
example of good leadership.
He has sent the signal that
SMC is for all Seventh-day
Adventists, regardless of race
or nationality."
Black History Week is a
relatively new event at SMC.
No blacks were allowed until
1964 when the Civil Rights Act
guaranteed equal rights for
everyone. The first black lo
attend SMC in hs 73-year
hisiory was a village student
in 1965. according to
Schlisner. Today black enroll-
ment stands at 101.
Dr. Grant has high hopes for
Black History Week. "We
want it to accomplish more,"
he says. "In the past this week
tended to alienate non-blacks,
but we want to take a step
forward. Race relations have
been improving at SMC. but
we need to go beyond the level

The Tamburitzans' produc-
tion has been linked to an
European musical tour. In
hundreds of colorful and
authentic costumes, the stu-
dents perform with brilliance;
forming a kaleidoscopic
impression of the most fasci-
nating and romantic parts of
the Balkans and neighbormg
lands. Dances, rituals, songs,
costumes, folklore-all unfold
in a brilliant array of color and
high-speed precision.
This group possesses the
remarkable faculty of sum-
ming up in a single
performance the spirit of an
entire people. The enthusiasm
of a Tamburitzan performance
is exhilarating. Language is no
barrier; the situation enacted
needs no translation. Joy at a
wedding, sorrow at death.
pride in a plentiful harvest, or
the secretive flirtations of a
couple falling in love are
understood universally.
Eight overseas tours have
earned the Tamburitzans the
right to the phrase
"internationally famous."
they have fulfilled their roles
as "ambassarods of good
will" throughout the Western
Hemisphere and Europe. Four
times the United States
Department of State has
selected them to represent
America and American youth
to the world. The success of
their people-to-people
approach surpassed, in effec-
tiveness, many years of
diplomatic efforts. Their
youthful energy and artistry

workmen have been digging
UD the ground in the mall so as

When we were small, we loved our mommies, our daddies,
our brothers and sisters and the cute girl down the street. On
Valentines Day we gave our mommies crooked hearts cut from
red construction paper; our daddies received valentines cards
that our mommies bought us to give him; and, if we were bold,
the girl down the street was given a little valentine with the
picture of cupid on the front smiling and uttering those stirring
words, "Be Mine."
Times have changed. Now we love cars, clothes, New York
and flider (but always under 21) girls wearing Izod sweaters and
skirts with slits down the side.
General Motors tells us we love baseball, hotdogs, apple pie
and Chevrolet.
The Greeks have the right idea when they use several
different words for different levels of what we call love.
As old as love is, it still is the topic of much discussion. Some
call love a feeding. Others, more logically oriented, call love a
principle.
Christ said, "Love your enemies." Bailey calls love, "The
sweetest joy, the wildest woe." "God is love," says Ellen
White. "Love is afi ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by
expenses," commented Lord Dewar.
Love is necessary. For man to be a complete person, he must
love. What's more, the more love he gives, the more he has.
Love is like nothing else the world has ever seen. It is
powerful, convincing, mysterious.
Here's to the half-naked little guy with the bow and arrows.
May he remain a good aim.
* 'There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casteth
out fear."

Dear Editor:
' Last week the Accent made
reference to a statement made
by Mr. Joe Robertson,
vice-presidential candidate in
the SA elections. While I'm
not for or against Mr. Robert-
son, I feel it's compulsory
that I dispute his statements
concerning the SA senate.
Mr. Robertson said "...Sena-
tors ... need to solicit more
personal feedback from the
students ..." As a senator. I
try to talk to my constituents.
We may not talk about any
issue directly, but I do have an
idea of their general opinion in
relevant issues.

hall because, besides the fact
that I am a senator (a volun-
teer in a non-paying position),
I work and go to school. I
suggest that Mr. Robertson,
since he feels that there's not
enough interaction between
the students and senators,
take the initiative and go talk
to his senator personally.
Mr. Robertson also contin-
ued on to suggest that" ...
(Senators) keep their own
opinions to a minimum in
senate meetings," Implying
that meetings are full of
selfish egotistical opinions.
All persons express them-
selves in a way particular to

Crossroads
Advanced technology: will it soon doom life?
^
by Jetl Havrof)
[\Ayes
The last century has seen
unprecedented technological
advancement. Wc have in-
creased our speed of com-
munication by a factor of 10 x
10,000.000; our speed of travel
by 100: our speed of data
handling by 1,000.000; our
energy resources by 1 ,000; our
power of weapons by
1.000.000; our ability to con-
trol diseases by something like
100; and our population
growth by 1.000 times what it
was a few thousand years ago.
The rapidity and magnitude
of these changes have left us
unprepared to face some of
the possible consequences.
One of the most imminent
dangers is that of nuclear
escalation. In at least two
major political crises, nuclear
alternatives were considered.
MacArthur wanted to use
nuclear
and John Kennedy is said to
have estimated the probability
of nuclear exchange during
the Cuban missile crisis to be
about 25 percent.
The fact is that man has
within his power the ability to
destroy all life on earth. As
long as we have no adequate
stabilizing peace-keeping
structures, this will remain a
possibility.
Another danger is that of
food shortage. From 1957 to
1977. an area larger than the
State of Ohio was lost to
agricultural use because of
urban expansion, energy pro-
duction, highway construction
and the like. In Florida all the
prime farmland will be put to
other uses by the end of the
century if current trends
continue.
How long will it be before
we reach the limit? A major
study has predicted only 50
years until population
seriously overtakes food
supply.
Although technology has
done much to help us. there
are certain problems which we
now face which seem almost
unsurmountable. Were time
to last and were the human
race left to its own fate, I find
it likely that we would destroy
ourselves before a technolo-
gical Utopia, where science
finally solved all men's pro-
blems, was formed.
ment in recent history con-
cerned with these two areas,
technology and population
levels, is The Global 2000
Report to the President (c.

President Carter. The policies

For the guys, this relaxation
sometmes includes the
company of a girl. But, more
times than not. it's hard to get
the two sexes together.
For instance, last week three
of my friends and I were

Our first stop was Iceland.
We figured on trying our luck
with some non-SMC girls. As
we stood in the line to get in,

with a sudden attack of
depression, they were in no

2000 assumes policies of low

For "example. Global 2000
explicitly excludes the
development and implemen-
tation of a fusion energy
program (although three blue
ribbon review boards have
recommended immediate
development of fusion energy
production plants, under the
present economic policies,
these recommendations have
been ignored).
Global 2000 excludes
dramatic agricultural break-
throughs, a policy which
dooms large areas of the world
to famine and starvation.
Infrastructure development in
LDC's (transportation net-
works, communications,
health care delivery, water
and sewage systems and
energy delivery) will be
negligible because invest-
ments in such projects need
long pay-back periods making
them not immediately
profitable. This is despite such
examples as South Korea
where subsequent economic
growth has paid back the
investment many times over.
These examples refleci ihe

Of course, I didn't want to

we headed for the door. But
before we left, we stopped at

jerk around so fast in all my
life.

Shortly before the beginn
ing of the twentieth century
when bicycle racing wa;
flowering into its Golden Age,
Charles Murphy was a cyclist
noted for his rugged
durability and speed. But he
became the laughing stock of
the sports world because he
believed that someday he
would pedal a bicycle at a mile
a minute.
To attempt the impossible
Charles Murphy persuaded
the Long Island Railroad to
build a three-mile wooden
track between its rails, over a
level stretch of ground near
the town of Hempstead. A
train was to pace him over a
measured mile, in a bicycle
race against time.
On June 30, 1899, Murphy
mounted his bicycle and took
off behind a train. By the time
the marked mile was reached,
the train was going sixty miles
an hour. And cyclist Murphy
was right behind it. Pedaling
furiously, he raced across the
measured mile in the astonish-
ing time of 57 4/5 seconds. It
was an unbelievable, new
world's bicycle speed record.
His whizzing ride caused a
universal sensation. Almost
overnight, he became famous
throughout the worid as
"Mile-a-Minute" Murphy. As
the fastest bicycle rider in
history, he reaped a fortune in
exhibitions.
As a bicycle champion,
"Mile-a-Minute" Murphy left
behind him no enduring speed
records. But because of his
single remarkable feat, his
name towers above those of
the most famous cycling
champions. He was the first
athlete in history to prove that
a human being could pedal a
bicycle at a speed of better
than a mile in a minute.

The name was derived from a
suggestion by a name change

Strayer— Southeastern

ened to Southern for a couple'
of reasons according to SMC
President Frank Knittel; the
first reason being that the
union in which our college is
situated includes more than,
the southeast region of the
favor of country; the second being to
avoid confusion with the new

When speaking about the
apparent length of the name
compared to the present one
Knittel says, "I anticipate that

the addition of "Seventh-day
Adventists" to the end of the
several other church related

Ckak conscience?"
If you groaned when another black and white film flicked
across the screen at the Valentine's Banquet. I don't blame you.
If you're ready to lash out at the SA for their ancient choice,
however, stop and reevaluate the situation. The Student
Association and the Social Activities Committee didn't choose
this flick — at least not at first.
Before any general showing of a film on campus, the movie
must first be previewed by the film previewing committee. This
body of several Faculty members with a couple of students acts
as a school conscience. It is their responsibility to see that a
movie is consistent with "Christian standards."
Before this committee is able to judge fairly, I claim that its
members must first consider whether or not their voting record
and reasoning is consistent.
Exhibit 1. The first film previewed for this banquet, "The
Promise," was rejected on the grounds that one scene was not
moral. Near the beginning of the movie, it is obvious that a
couple had been sleeping together out of wedlock. No, there are
no nude scenes or passionate bedroom scenes. Reason for
rejection? Cristians do not want to condone sleeping together
out of wedlock.
Exhibit 2. The Clark Gable "classic," "It Happened One
Night," was approved. The decision reeks of inconsistency. If
permitting a scene to be shown condones the action portrayed in
the scene {Exhibit 1), then the Preview Committee has
ndoned smoking, drinking, running away from your father,
stealing c
the ceremony.
Why is showing s
while showing a s
whether the scene
t of your wedding in the middle of
ccne in one movie "condoning" an action,
;ne in another is not? Does it depend on
i viewed in color or black and white?
I'll go one step further and propose that what the preview
committee needs to watch for is what the movie is trying to say.
Whafs the plot? What's the message?
In last year's memorable showing of "Kramer vs. Kramer,"
Dustin Hoffman reeled off a whole string of obscenities. As you
walked out of the movie, though it is more likely that you had
tears in your eyes rather than cuss words in your mouth.
Nonetheless, I will not fuss over how a committee member
votes— as long as his voting is consistent. I will fuss over

Dear Editor:
If chapel had ended
immediately after the beauti-
ful music offered by the
talented and well-trained
voices of the choir,. ..but it
didn't.
Last Thursday, February
II. Black History Week put a
black mark on its record. The
speaker defeated the purpose
and left many people dis-
gusted — and some angry.
One of the first points was
his attempt to mislead the
audience into believing that
reverse discrimination is a
matter of little consequence.
The fact of the matter is that
certain affirmative action
legislations and programs
cause reverse discrimination,
and this type of discrimination
is practiced on a regular basis.
The second point has to do
with his vulgar or profane
language. I surely didn't
expect an SDA chaplain to be
shouting "...mad as h — ..."
from our pulpit, or anywhere
else for that matter. 1 don't
know how mad h — gets, but I
would venture to suggest that
it would be an unacceptable
level of conduct coming from
an individual who is struggl-
ing for racial equality.
Finally, the "service" went
into overtime by roughly 15
minutes. That is bad PR policy
by anyone's standards,
especially those who have
busy schedules.
Before anyone tries to label
me as a racially-prejudiced
individual, let me say one
thing. My early childhood was
spent in a place and attending
a school where whites were in
the minority at about the same
ratio as blacks are at SMC. I
probably "suffered" as much,
or more, from taunting, etc. as
non-whites at SMC do— if they

Dear Mr. Editor,
I write in deepest
over what I consider a problem
in the handling of our annual
Black History Weeks. 1 am a
sophomore this year, and I've
been given the chance to listen
to two of these weeks and
watch the reaction of my
fellow listeners. I regret to say
that my reaction has been one
of horror. What is worse is
that my reaction is shared by
many others, both black and
white.
Elder Monk, in his talk
given in chapel this last
Thursday, gave his approach
to what he felt must be done to
solve some of the racial pro-
blems that still exist within not
only our nation, but our
church and our schools. His
final advice was to "Get mad
as Hell!," an approach that I
consider neither Christian nor
ethical in solving any pro-
blems that still may exist.
1 feel that if the great
Martin Luther King, Jr. could
hear some of the talk that goes
on now, he would do somer-
saults in his grave. After the
chapel on Thursday, I decided
to go to the library and see
what Mr. King had to say
about issues that faced him
then, and how he felt they
should be dealt with. Here are
a couple of his remarks:
"Someone must have sense
enough and morality enough
to cut off the chain of hale.
This can be done onlv by
projecting the ethics of love to
the (
r of <
"Always be sure thai you
struggle with Christian wea-
pons. Never succumb the
temptation of becoming bitter.
As you press on for justice, be
sure to move with dignity and
discipline, using only the wea-
pon of love. . . " , and the quotes
go on and on.
Why is it that at every Black
History Week we try to revive
a spirit of animosity that, quile
frankly, has no room in a
Christian atmosphere. If we
are to work for a brotherhood,
we must forget the wrongs
committed in the past and
work now to make a spirit of
love and cooperation reign.
Let's not hold our ancestors
wrongs over each others'
heads, but instead, let's make
things happen now that will
lead to a positive history.
Sincerely,
Michael A. PropsI
Dear Editor:
1 had a birthday two weeks
ago on ground hog's day. If I
had been home, my mom
would have made me a great
big chocolate cake, with 23
candles and lots of butter
pecan ice cream! But alas,
being 700 miles from home, a
birthday card had to make
due.
But 1 saw a little add in the
Accenr. "The Campus
kitchen generously offers a
free Birthday Sundae for any
student who has a birthday
while attending SMC". How
nice, I thought, and even a
lighted candle as an added
special touch. 1 went to the CK
and shyly approached the
cashier. "It's ray Birthday
today," 1 said expectantly.
"Oh ! then you get a Birthday
Sundae", the girl replied
cheerfully. "One Sundae
coming up!" Another girl
began immediately to make
the special treat for me.
"Could I have it to go? I'm in a
hurry for my next class!" I
said. The girl nodded. I stood
nearby, watching her prepare
the sundae. Suddenly one of
the supervisors came breezing
out from behind a counter.
"What is that you're
making?!" she demanded.
"A Birthday Sundae," the
girl replied.
"Well! Birthday Sundaes are
not to be made to go! I'm tired
of kids asking for them to go! "
The girl quietly went on
putting ice cream in a plastic
"Oh. no!" the supervisor
went on, her glasses sliding
down her nose. "Birthday
Sundaes are to be made in the
small size cup, definitely not
large.' Goodness!"
"Oh!" the girl said quietly.
"Hmph! First you make » 1»

Don Knotts: should he be SA president?
The 1982 S. A. Elections are
history now. Some people
have been elected who you
wanted and some haven't; but
there is one thing we can all be
thankful for: Don Knnlts is not
the S.A. President. Don't kid
yourself otherwise. This
school has its troubles, and
the last thing we need is an
S.A. Prcisdcnl who does
Ruger Burke imitations.
Face it, if you've gone to
school long enough, you've
seen all his films on the

myself, I guess I'm a rather
astute scholar on Knotfsomia.
Here at SMC, I've almost
rmishcd my degree on him. I
heard that for the final wc

"Hot Lead, Cold Feet" and
write a dissertation on the
social implications of inter-
action between Tim Conway
and Knotts in "The Apple
pumphng Gang." So don't

novice freshmen— especially il

Remember Knotts in the Andy
Griffin show? He plays a
bumbling sheriff named
Barney Fife whose only job is
to support the sheriff. Good
grief, how could anyone even
think of running on a platform
like that?
How about his role as a
type-setter in the legendary
"Ghost and Mr. Chicken."
Remember how the wind blew
away his notes as he was
making a speech? The crowd
cat-called "Atta boy. Luther"
while he stood there like an
ignoramus. Presidents, let
alone any candidate, are never
serious unless they can make
good speeches. Why. Miss
Piggy could do better.
In one of my all-time
favorites, "The Reluctant
Astronaut." Knotts really out-
does himself over and over
again. Catapulted from janitor
to astronaut, this hick from
Sweetwater, Missouri ■ has
definite traits of character
which would never do in the
highest office of Collegedale.
First, his abject fear of
flying. As everybody knows,
the S.A. President has very
important trips to be made,
from San Francisco to the
Cayman Islands, and driving
just won't do. And how would
he look carrying that silly doll
to classes? Impossible, of
The most namby-pamby
thing about Knotts is his ways
with women. With SMC's
female population on the rise,
a man in leadership must have
tact and firmness. But what
did we see when Don went to
fight a gun duel in "Shakiest
Gun in the West?" His crack-
shot girlfriend did the job for
him, from an upper window!

concentrated on Knotts. Also,
that degree in Knotts he's
taking is non-accredited. It's
from some self-supporting,
fly-by-night school. 1 think he
acquired it from some book of
matches. To top it off, he's
good friends with Steve
Dickerhoff. Just wanted you
girls to know whal kind of
influence he's under. But
that's another can of worms.
So what are Don's good
points? First, take a glance at
his human relations. He keeps
people happy. When one of
his movies are shown at a
pizza feed they have to have
(wo showings. Everyone loves
ill Haven't you seen Earl
Evans face as you buy all that

Even Dean Schlisner likes
Don. If he knows everyone
goes to see Don at the cafe,
then he doesn't have to check
on us at the theaters.
If Don were the President,
(he senators would plead for
more work, just to be near
him. So much would be
accomplished! The S.A. could
save on cookie (even donut)
breaks, too. They could have
Don Knotts breaks where he
could do scenes from his
various films.
Speaking of his fdms, they
are masterpieces of publicity.
Believe me, bumbling is only
skin-deep in Knotts. Can't you
see his worthy attributes?
Doesn't he keep law and order
in town in "Hot Lead. Cold
Feet." even through the jail
burned down. Oh sure, there
were a few guns here and
there, but still, he's great.
Don Knotts is patriotic. He
gave up his high-paying ser-
vice department job to beat
the communists in space in
"The Reluctant Astronaut."
Don Knotts loves kids, and
they love him. In "No Deposit,
No Return" they string him up
with a trap. They just won't let
him get away, will they? He'd
be a smash at Spalding. It
would encourage the little
ones to come to SMC as they
get older. To accomodate the
overload which Knotts will
bring, the administration will
either have to use the new

him today in "Three's Com

ing those girls working in the
SA office?
Even in "The Apple Dump-
lingGang" another good point
shows through. Knotts is so
honest (not bumbling) that he
can't rob the bank, even
though he tries five times!
I could go on with how Tim

from the audience. He contin-

Two men come to the pulpit.
"We are from Jericho. One

through the city. As He
passed by we called to Him to
heal our blindness. He bid us
come to Him and asked what
we wanted of Him. When we

Jericho. As a blind man I once
sat at the city gate begging for
my living. One day as I sat
begging, a crowd of people
came toward the city. I over-
heard someone talking about
Jesus coming to the city. I had
heard of Him and thought this
would be my chance to see. I
began shouting to Him to help
me. Some told me to shut up,
but I t,ersiste'd. he heard me

did was speak the words and I

of intramurals could be in
jeopardy because of this
