Welcome  back  to  school  and  for  those  of  you  who  are 
new— we  welcome  you  to  Southern  College, 

Anticipation  seems  to  occupy  our  minds  for  the  first  few 
days  on  campus.  Then  after  the  anticipation  wears  down  and 
the  college  routine  becomes  real,  fear  seems  to  take  control. 

Now,  it  isn't  fear  of  the  current  situation,  but  fear  of  the 
unknown.    It's  a  sort  of  anxiety  mixed  with  anticipation. 

No  matter  how  many  years  you've  attended  any  learning 
institution,  every  year  proves  to  be  different. 

Our  school  has  been  around  a  long  time.  In  fact,  this  Ac 
issue  helps  commemorate  the  90th  Birthday  of  Southern. 
During  its  long  history,  the  school  has  grown,  matured,  and 
progressed. 

We  believe  it  should  be  the  same  process  we  undertake. 
Because  college  life-style  tends  to  mature  us  subtly,  we  need 
to  do  everything  we  can  to  keep  in  touch  with  our  changing, 
growing  selves. 

The  Accent  is  a  newspaper  designed  for  you  to  keep  in 
touch.  We  want  this  paper  to  be  a  reflection  of  you  the 
student  body.  Letting  us  know  what  concerns  you,  giving  us 
your  opinions  on  any  pertinent  issue,  helps  us  create  a  paper 
worth  your  time. 

You  can  help  achieve  this  goal  by  communicating  to  us 
through  "letters  to  the  editor".  Also  write  your  reaction  to  a 
column  and  mail  it  in  the  conspicuous  red  mailboxes  in  the 
dorms  or  student  center.     This  makes  us  aware  of  your 

Consistent  striving,  hard  work,  and  dedication  have  helped 
Southern  reach  its  90th  year  of  Christian  education. 

Maintaining  these  same  ideal  and  learning  from  your  input, 
the  Southern  Accent  will  be  able  to  keep  the  communication 
lines  open  for  a  more  successful  year.

I  Dear  Students: 

For  new  and  returning  stu- 
dents alike  every  year  is  a 
glorious  challenge  for  every 
person.  This  includes  teachers 
as  well  as  students.  I  welcome 
each  of  you  to  the  campus  as 
you  take  hold  of  the  excite- 
ment of  a  new  yean.  I  give  you 
one  promise — our  teachers  are 
here  to  do  everything  in  their 
power  to  help  you  succeed — 
that  is  their  challenge.  Your 
challenge  is  to  claim  their 
resource. 

And  finally,  the  greatest 
challenge  of  all  is  to  walk  each 
day  with  Jesus  Christ.  That 
will  be  the  basis  of  every  true 
success  you  have  this  year. 


It  is  nice  to  stop  and  look 
back  on  the  past  ninety  years 
and  the  history  of  Southern 
College.  It  has  been  a  period 
of  fortune  and  growth  for  the 
school.  It  is  more  important, 
however,  for  us  to  look  to  the 
present  and  what  we  can  do  to 
insure  that  the  fine  reputation 
that  Southern  College  has  had 
in  the  past  continues  in  the 
future. 


It  is  unfortunate  and  frustrai 
ing  thai  the  school  had  to  face 
so  much  criticism  lately.  We 
all,  faculty  and  students  alike, 
have  our  share  of  shortcom- 
ings. Many  others,  however, 
have  chosen  to  focus  on  short- 
comings instead  of  the  fact 
that  Southern  College  is  here 
to  give  us  a  Christian  educa- 
tion and  is  doing  a  good  job  at 

Fortunately,  nothing  re- 
quires us  to  accept  others 
patterns  of  thought.  The 
Student  Association  officers 
for  this  coming  school  year 
have  determined  to  make  the 
82-83  school  year  the  best  in 
the  school's  history.  We 
intend  to  show  to  any  critics 
that  there  is  more  substance  to 


the  program  of  Southern  I 
College  than  what  might  be  I 
seen  from  their  point  of  view,  r 
We  refuse  to  let  things  stag- 
nate, and  have  determined  to  I 
put  down  criticism  by  rising 
above  it. 
The  positive  influence  of  the 
students  and  faculty  of  this 
school  by  far  outweighs'  any  I 
shortcomings  that  exist.  With 
your  help  the  Student  Associa- 
tion officers  intend  to  show  all 
those  concerned  that  &$ 
school  is  one  which  we  have  | 
good  reason  to  be  proud  1

Writing  a  religious  column 
for  a  college  newspaper  is  like 
kissing  your  mother-in-law.  It 
has  to  be  done  but  few 
appreciate  it  when  you  do.  I 
mean,  who  reads  a  column  on 
religion  when  you  can  read 
about  social  events,  humorous 
columns,  and  local  intramural 
competition.  Usually  it  is  the 
last  thing  ybu  will  read  proba- 
bly getting  to  those  important 
studies  in  biology  (like  the 
eating  habits  of  the  Paramec- 
ium) before  you  get  to  things 
Wke  Accent  religious  columns. 

Maybe,  just  maybe,  that  is 
our  problem.  We  use  religion 
like  we  use  deodorant.  Some- 
times we  don't.  It  has  become 
an  object.  It  is  nice  to  have  it 
un  Sabbath  but   we  wouldn't 


there.  So  \ 


-got 


church  and  have  religion  there 
maybe  even  saving  the  relig- 
ious column  for  Sabbath  read- 
ing. Such  nice  neat  compart- 
ments that  separate  the  secu- 
lar from  the  sacred  things  are 
a  travesty  to  our  religious 
experience  and  to  the  nature 


of  Christianity. 

Saying,  "This  is  sacred— I 
will  save  this  for  Sabbath," 
tends  to  destroy  the  essence  of 
religion.  Religion  that  does 
not  pervade  the  whole  of  life  is 
like  salt  that  is  put  on  part  of 
the  food.  I  see  religion  as  a 
quest,  seeking  to  answer  the 
fundamental  questions  of  life 
such  as  "Who  am  I?" 
"Where  did  1  come  from?" 
and  "Where  am  I  going?" 
The  answer  to  those  questions 
impacts  directly  on  what  I  do 
every  day  of  the  week  whether 
you  call  those  activities  sacred 


ular. 


This 


column  is  called 
"Directions".  That  title  sug- 
gests that  what  you  find  here 
should  be  more  like  a  sign- 
post than  a  destination. 
Reading  it  should  give  pause 
for  reflection  on  some  of  those 
basic  questions  of  life. 
Because  when  it  comes  down 
■  •>  it,  social  events,  humorous 
columns,  and  intermural 
competition  all  find  more 
complete  fulfillment  when  we 
see  them  in  the  larger  context 


of  life's  meaning. 

I  would  like  to  solicit  your 
letters  and  comments.  We 
will  publish  some,  edit  some, 
and  throw  others  in  the  trash 
— but  write  anyway.  If  you 
have  some  questions  that  you 
would  like  to  see  a  written 
response  to  write  them  down 
and  deliver  them  to  the  Accent 
office.  It  is  our  desire  to 
scratch  where  it  itches.  The 
religion  page  will  not  exactly 
be  ihe  Ann  Landers  of  South- 
ern College  but  we  will  make 
an  honest  attempt  at  being  a 
sign-post  so  that  your  relig- 
ious experience  will  be  a 
meaningful  part  of  your  col- 
lege education. 

We  also  need  some  guest 
religious  editorials.  1  am  a 
preacher.  I  graduated  from 
college  more  years  ago  than  I 
like  to  think  about.  You  might 
say  that  I  am  out  of  touch  and 
if  you  said  that,  you  would  be 
right.  So  those  of  you  who  are 
in  touch  and  have  an  idea  that 
you  would  like  to  communicate 
to  the  student  body  contact  me 
about  writing  a  column  for  the

Well  I  spent  a  fair  number  of 
lines  telling  you  about  my 
philosophy  behind  the  column 
and  I  suppose  1  should  leave 
you  with  some  bit  of  wisdom 
for  the  week.  Many  of  you, 
having  grown  up  under  the 
rather  close  constraints  of 
parental  supervision  may  be 
looking  for  some  freedom 
more  freedom  now  that  you 
are  attending  college.  May  I 
propose  a  parable? 

"Once  upon  a  time  in  Fenton 
Forest  there  was  a  small  snail 
named  Sammy  who  wanted  to 
be  free.  Sammy  was  tired  of 
dragging  his  shell  around.  He 
thought  of  his  shell  as  a  real 
encumbrance  to  living.  He 
I'.  Ii  like  it  kept  him  from  doing 
ihe  things  he  wanted  to  do. 
Old  Owl  told  him  that  his  shell 
was  important,   and   that   he 


needed  it  for  protection  but  he 
would  not  listen.  He  thought 
to  himself  that  owl  was  an  old 
fuddy  duddie  (Have  you  ever 
met  a  fuddy  duddie?  Let  me 
know  if  you  have  I  would  like 
to  meet  one.)  who  didn't 
understand.  Other  animals 
kept  telling  Sammy  that  snails 
were  created  to  have  shells 
and  that  they  needed  them  but 
Sammy  was  not  convinced. 
One  day  while  he  was  crawl- 
ing along  thinking  about  his 
desire  for  freedom  his  shell 
got  caught  under  a  branch  and 
he  thought,  "Here  is  my 
chance  to  be  free."  He  pulled 
and  tugged  until  he  shell 
broke  and  he  struggled  free 
from  its  weight.  As  he  moved 
away  into  his  newly  found 
freedom  a  bird  saw  unprotect- 
ed Sammy  and  swooped  down 
for  an  easy  breakfast."

The  first  catalog  for  Southern 
Junior  College,  1935-36, 
stated  that  "Each  student  is 
expected  to  bring  his  own 
bedding — three  sheets,  three 
pillow  cases,  one  bedspread,  a 
pillow,  and  blankets  or  com- 
forters; also  hot  water  bag, 
towels,  dresser  scarfs,  and 
cover  for  study  table." 

Along  with  the  times,  styles 
too  have  changed,  even  at  our 
college.  Around  1915  dress 
lengths  begin  to  creep  up  to 
mid-calf  level  and  in  the  early. 
1920'sthe  "bob"  (short)  hair 
jut  for  women  came  in  along 
with  more  "mannish,  immod- 
est apparel"  which  included 
mid-calf  length  dresses  and 
less-feminine  type  clothing, 
clothing. 

By  1925  the  shortest  skirts 
that  had  ever  been  seen 
debuted  in  Paris.  Rouge  and 
lipstick  were  a  must  and 
eyebrow  pencils  retailed.  As 
dress  lengths  steadily 
approached  the  knee  towards 
1930,  many  Adventists  be- 
came quite  alarmed. 

In  keeping  with  the  Dow 
Jones  Industrial  Average, 
hemlines  took  a  sudden  drop 
in  1930-33.  The  dresses  took 
on  a  more  feminine  appear- 
ance once  again  and  by  1934 
the  "Gibson  Girl"  sleeves  of 
1895  were  back  again.  Bath- 
ing suits  now  came  without 
backs  and  were  no  longer  the 
bloomer  variety. 

Entering  a  new  decade,  the 
forties,     circle    or    "swing" 
skirts  made  their  appearance 
along    with    rising    hemlines 
{below      Knee-length)       and 
strapless  formals.      Strapless 
bathing  suits  were  also  inven 
ed.  The  relatively  short  dress 
lengths  of  the    early    forties 
were  soon  followed  by  longer, 
mid-calf  length  skirts.    Huf 
floppy  hats,  raglan  sleeves 
and  very  high  heels  were  all  in 
vogue.  Men  wor    double- 
breasted    suits    jackets    with 
baggy  cuffed  pants. 

During  the  Fifties  the  classic 
saddle  oxford  and  flat  pump 
combined      with      crenolined 


skirts  with  large  floral  pat- 
terns became  the  word  of  the- 
day.  Teenage  boys  discovered 
white  T-shirts,  rolled  up 
straight-legged  blue  jeans, 
white  socks  and  black  leather 
jackets  and  shoes. 

The  hemlines  of  the  fifties 
couldn't  stay  down  forever 
and  with  the  advent  of  the  60's 
came  flower  power,  flower 
children,  peace,  love,  and  yes, 
second  skin  straight  leg  pants, 
pointed  shoes,  and  the  belov- 
ed mini-skirt! 

In  the  late  sixties  collars  got 
longer,  skirts  got  shorter  (now 
mid-thigh  length).  And  bell 
bottoms,  the  all-consuming 
hippie  thrust,  rung  their  way 
through  America. 

Gradually  through  the  seven- 
ties fashion  designers  relived 
the  mini-skirt  (though  some 
believe  it  never  left  Europe). 
In  the  early  70's  "platform" 
shoes  popped  on  the  market, 
with  women  breaking  their 
ankles  and  feet  at  an  alarming 
rate  until  their  demise. 

Through  these  years  deans 
and  faculty  struggled  through 
the  long  hair  and  waded 
through  the  mini-skirts. 

In  recent  years  a  battle  over 
blue  jeans  ensued.  The  SMC 
student  handbook  stated  that 
for  "general  campus  attire" 
blue  jeans  and  overalls  were 
acceptable  only  on  Sundays 
and  weekdays  after  7pm. 

At  other  times  they  were 
prohibited  in  all  classrooms, 
cafeteria  and  the  library. 
Punishment  for  continual 
violation  of  this  rule  could  be 
expulsion  from  school. 

As  of  last  Spring  after  num- 
erous letters  to  the  editor  and 
staged  protests,    SC  became 
the  last  SDA  college  in  North 
America  to  permit  blue  jeans 
in  the  classroom.     At  last! 
Students  could  wear  clothing 
of  their  choosing  to  class, 
unharassed. 

Ironically  enough,  girls 
received  a  memo  from  the 
deans  in  their  mailboxes  this 
past  week.  It  went  something 
like  this,  "Mini-skirts  are  not 
acceptable  campus  attire." 
Have  times  really  changed?

FASTPITCH  SOFTBALL 

SEASON  PREDICTIONS 

After  .attempting  in  vain  to 
obtain  the  expert  opinions  of 
certain  sportscasters  in  the 
area  on  their  ideas  of  the 
upcoming  fastpitch  season,  I 
have  decided  to  take  the  task 
upon  myself.  I  do  so  at  the 
risk   of  taking   much    verbal 


abuse,  and  the  possibility  of 
losing  friends  and  gaining 
enemies.  But  wnen  the  call  of 
duty  comes  from  fellow  sports 
fans,  we  must  respond,  so 
here  goes. 

No.  1  Team  Brad  Durby  6-2 
A  good  strong  team  in  all 


respects.  Experience,  leader-l 
ship,  talent  -  this  group  has  it 
all.  The  talent  level  on  thisl 
team  isn't  so  much  greater! 
than  others,  but  Durby's  abil-,1 
ity  to  motivate  may  prove  to  be 
the  deciding  factor.  He  will  be 
depending  on  the  likes  of  Don 
Sweeney  and  Dick  Bird  for 
their  contributions. 


No.  2  Team 
Kelly  Pettijohn  5-3 
This  team  is  solid  at  all 
defensive  positions,  as  well  as 
a  good  balance  of  power  and 
basehitting.  Pettijohn  could 
easily  give  Durby  a  run  for  his 
money  with  a  few  good 
breaks.  However,  lack  of 
experienced  leadership  could 


This  calculator  thinks  business, 
TheTI  Student  Business  Analyst 


If  there's  one  thing  undergrad 
business  students  have  always 
needed,  this  is  it:  an  affordable 
business-oriented  calculator. 
The  Student  Business  Analyst 
Its  built-in  business  formulas 
let  you  perform  complicated 
finance,  accounting  and 
statistical  functions- the  ones 
that  usually  requite  a  lot  of 
time  and  a  stack  of  reference 
books,  like  present  and  futute 
value  calculations,  amortiza- 
tions and  balloon  payments. 


It  all  means  you  spend  less  of  the  package.  You  also  get 
time  calculating,  and  more  a  book  that  follows  most 
e  learning.  One  keystroke  business  courses:  the  Business 
Analyst  Guidebook.  Business 
ptofessors  helped  us  write  it, 
to  help  you  get  the  most  out 
of  calculator  and  classroom. 
A  powerful  combination.

prove  to  be  a  problem.  Some 
of  Pettijohn's  key  players  are 
Greg  Cain,  Fred  Roscher,  and 
Rick  Greve.  If  these  guys 
don't  produce,  then  he  may 
have  his  hands  full. 


No.  3  Teams  Tie 

Kevin    Cummings    and    Rick 

Giebel  4-4 

Giebel  has  plenty  of  power  in 
Craig  Stone,  Greg  Culpepper, 
and  Bruce  Gibbon.  But 
defense  and  lack  of  experi- 
enced leadership  could  possi- 
bly deter  them. 

Cummings'  team  is  almost 
unpredictable,  which  is  one  of 
Cummings  personal  charac- 
teristics. He  has  an  excellent 
shortstop  in  Jim  Dobson,  solid 
all-around  play  from  John 
Grys,  and  good  first  base  in 
Dave  Botimer. 


No.  5  Team 
Randy  Gaber 


3-5 


This  team  is   basically 
lered  around  two  good  play- 
ers, Haecks  and  VandeVei 
The    rest    of    the    squad 
questionable.     Bui  judgme 
cannot   be   passed    so   soon 
some  of  those  unproven  p'ay 
ers    could    turn    out    to    be 
darkhorses.

Well,  it's  happened.  Despite 
the  horrors  of  registration, 
another  school  year  has 
begun.  I  have  been  most, 
graciously  invited  to  give  youj 
a  brief  rundown  on  campus 
life  in  general  and  this  year's;, 
agenda  in  particular.  So  pay! 
attention. 

First  of  all,  females,  for  those 
of  you  who  have  arrived 
starry-eyed  in  hopes  of  a  quick 
and  painless  engagement,  a 
word  or  caution:  leave.  You 
will  find  that  Adventist 
Contact,  the  other  major  datj 
ing  service,  is  much  cheapei 
and  much  less  competition. 
Now  if  you  are  interested  in 
becoming  a  single  parent  and 
would  like  a  little  boy  to  adopt, 
I  would  definitely  check  out 
Talge  Hall;  you  may  find  just 
what  you're  looking  for. 

The  remaining  ten  percent  of 
the  ladies  can  hopefully  be 
thrown  into  the  mainstream  of 
school  and  kept  occupied 
And  speaking  of— I  do  have 
the  agenda  tor  the  year. 


In  an  all-out  effort  to  save 
money,  our  illustrious  busi- 
ness manager  has  decided  not 
to  have  classes  this  year. 
Some  of  you  may  have  noticed 
this  at  registration.  I  realize 
many  of  you  may  find  this  a  bit 
disconcerting,  but  there  is 
hope.  By  not  having  classes, 
the  college  will  thereby  be 
able  to  release  most  of  the 
faculty.  With  no  salaries 
except  Dean  Schlisner's  to  pay 
(after  all,  someone  has  to  be 
here  to  check  the  theaters)  the 
school  can  pay  off  its  outstand- 
ing bills  and  be  ready  to  open 
the  halls  of  learning  again 
next  year.  Sure,  the  plan  has 
a  few  flaws,  but  its  not  bad  for 
a  school  whose  very  name 
isn't  even  a  certaintly. 
In  the  entertainment  section, 
"The  Love  Bug"  has  finally 
been  replaced  by  a  movie 
which  will  premiere  sometime 
this  fall.  It  was  cast  on 
location  here  at  SC  last  'sum- 
mer and  is  called  "The  Diary 
of  Our   Frank",    a   thrilling 


story  about  a  college  president 
who  kept  all  his  political 
secrets  locked  in  a  little  green 
journal.  SC's  drama  group, 
Southern  Players,  is  at  this 
moment  trying  to  purchase  the 
royalties  to  the  play  version. 
Auditions  for  the  lead  role  will 
be  held  this  spring,  although 
it's  rumored  that  E.O. 
Grundset  has  already  been 
cast  as  "Frank". 

I  am  running  out  of  space  but 
there  is  one  last  item  of 
interest.  The  Southern  Union 
Conference  had  planned  on 
holding  a  seminar  here  at  SC 
on  the  low  cost  of  a  Christian 
education  but  that  has  since 
been  cancelled  due  to  lack  of 
funds.  I'm  sure  all  of  us  can 
empathize. 

Anyhow,  I  will  be  keeping 
you  posted  throughout  the 
year  on  other  upcoming 
events.  In  the  meantime,  I 
hope  each  of  you  will  have  a 
great  year. — No  classes, 
remember?

It  helps  if  the  old  students  are 
friendly  and  outgoing  so  new 
students  feel  more 
comfortable  without  having  to 
always  make  the  first  gesture 
of  friendliness. 


How  can  old  students  help  you 
as  a  new  student  adjust  to 
college  life? 

Cathy  Moser

Everyone  around  here  is  very 
friendly,  but  I  wish  there  were 
more  things  to  do  on  Sabbath 
afternoons.  This  past  Sabbath 
I  would  've  gone  onjailbands 
but  found  out  too  late  to  go. 


When  it  comes  to  the  food  at  Taco 
Bell  there's  really  only  one  school 
of  thought.  What  a  difference! 

To  begin  with,  your  order's  made 
up  fresh  from  the  best  ingredients. 
That's  different.  And  it's  all  served 
up  piping  hot  to  be  sure  you  get  all  of 
the  delicious  flavor.  That's  different. 
You  also  get  served  fast,  which 
means  that  our  schedule  will  keep 
you  on  yours.  That's  different. 

And  you  get  it  all  at  the  terrific 
Taco  Bell,  price.  That's  really  different. 

Plus,  where  else  do  you  find  food 
with  deliciously  different  names  like 
Taco  Supreme.,  Burrito  Supreme, 
and  Enchirito.?  Each  one  a  far  cry 


from  the  usual  fast  food  fare  (not  to 
mention  whatever  that  is  they  serve 
in  the  cafeteria). 

So  cut  out  the  coupon,  then  cut 
out  for  Taco  Bell  and  see  for  your- 
self what  a  difference  we  make.

cal   Sc 


He

World  Literature.  Mr.  Hal- 
uska is  married  and  has  two 
small  children. 
The  Religion  Department  has 
added  Gordon  Hyde  to  its 
staff  this  year.     He  is  from 


Chatsworth,  GA,  where  he 
was  semi-retired  from  working! 
for  the  General  Conference  in 
Washington,  D.C.  He  is' 
married  and  has  three  grown 
children.  Elder  Hydejormerly 
!  taught  religion  at  SMC. 

Mrs.  June  Hooper,  alsfi  prev- 
iously from  Collegedale,  has 
returned  to  teach  in  the  Edu 
cation  Department.  She  and 
her  husband  have  been  work- 
ing in  the  mission  field  in 
Pakistan,  where  she  worked 
with  a  teacher  training  pro- 
gram. 

The  Music  Department  has 
hired  Mrs.  Pat  Silver  to  direct 
the  SC  Concert  Band.  Mrs. 
Silver  has  been  at  Andrews 
University,  where  she  also 
taught  band.  She  is  married 
and  has  two  children,  one  of 
whom   is   still   at   home   and 


attends  Collegedale  Academy. 

Mrs.  Pat  Morrison,  from 
Collegedale,  is  working  at  the

These  new  faculty  members 
have  selected  Southern  Col- 
lege as  their  new  career  choice 
and  are  eagerly  anticipating: 
developing  new  friendships! 
with  the  students  and  staff  of 
the  school. 


Gilbert    Accepts  Chairmanship 


Associate  Professor  of  Nurs- 
ing, Mrs.  Ellen  Gilbert,  was 
appointed  Chairman  of  the 
Nursing  Division  at  SC  in  May 
of  1982. 
Having  been  with  the  Nurs- 
ing Division  for  16  years, 
Mrs.  Gilbert  has  witnessed 
many  changes.  She  has  seen 
i  the  division  grow  until  it  is  the 
largest  one  on  campus. 
Within  and  outside  the 
denomination,  Mrs.  Gilbert 
feels  that  Southern  College 
has  an  exceptional  division  in 
quantity  and  quality  of  nurses 
because  of  the  personal  con- 
cern each  instructor  has  for  ' 
the  individual  student.  Not 
only  is  there  a  concern  with 
grades  or  career  problems,! 
but  also  with  personal! 
problems. 

,  One  of  the  goals  she  hopes  to 
achieve  is  to  improve 
communications  between  the 
Collegedale  campus  and  the 
Orlando  campus. 
When  asked  how  her  family 
felt  on  her  new  position,  Mrs- 
Gilbert  stated,  "My  husband 
is  very,  very,  supportive.  I've 
always  been  a  full-time  career 
woman,  so  it  was  no  drastic 
change  for  my  family." 
However,  she  says  she  still  < 
has  time  to  be  a  housewife  and 
enjoys  the  domestic  responsi- 
bilities of  sewing  and  cooking.

Coffin    Confronts 
Today's    Issues 


Mr.  James  Coffin  will  be 
Southern  College's  speaker 
for  the  Week  of  Prayer  Sep- 
tember 13-17.  Mr.  Coffin  was 
recently  appointed  Assistant 
Editor  of  the  Adventist  Review 
Coffin  represents  a  some-- 
.vhat  cosmopolitan  back- 
ground, having  grown  up  in 
Missouri  where  he  attended. 
Sunnydale  Academy  before  ■ 
going    to    Union    College    in 

Lincoln,  Nebraska. 

After  one  year  at  Union  he 
served  as  a  student  missionary. 
in  Mexico,  teaching  English! 
and  Physical  Education  at 
Mexican  Pacific  Academy,' 
near  Navajoa,  Sonora.  Thej 
^next  three  years  were  spent  at1 
{Newbold  College  in  England, 
where  he  fraduated  in  1975.  , 
In  September  of  that  year  he 
married  Leonie  Steed,  an 
Australian  whom  he  had  met 
at  Newbold,  but  who  had  lived 
for  several  years  in  the  United)-1 
States.  —   .  •  — i 

With  a  love  of  travel  in 
general,  and  more  than  a, 
Icasual  interest  in  Australia,  he. 
'chose  to  begin  his  pastoral 
work  in  that  country,  "just  for 
the  experience,"  he  .says.  The 
last  three"  of  his  five  yciua) 
there  he  served  as  assistant; 


of 


Avondale 


pastor 
Memorial  Church. 
More  recently  Coffin  has 
pastored  in  the  Chesapeake 
Conference  of  the  Columbia 
Union.  And  he  has,  as'  of  the 
beginning  of  September,, 
assumed  his  position  with  the 
Review  and  Herald  Publishing 
Association. 

!  The  Coffins  have  two  boys, 
Jamie  four,  and  Jared  four 
months,  and  they  reside  in 
Burtonsville  Maryland,  where 
Uim  serves  as  the  president  of 
'the  local  ministerial 

association. 

For  the  Week  of  Prayer" 
Coffin  has  chosen  to  deal  with 
issues  with  which  all  of  us  as 
Christians  must  contend.  He 
suggests  that  in  a  sense  his 
presentations  will  be  a  person- 
al testimony  of  how  he  has 
come  to  perceive  the  Christian 
life,  its  privileges  and 
responsibilities. 
It  is  his  hope-that  as  a  fesuh 
of  his  presentations,  the 
opportunity  to  meet  the  stu- 
dents, and  most  of  all,  the 
working  of  the  Holy  Spirit, 
Christianity  will  take  on  new 
meaning  and  will  be  perceived 
as  the  beautiful  experience 
that  God  intended  it  to  be.

Getting  out  this  paper  is  no  picnic! 

If  we  print  jokes,  people  will  say  we  are  silly; 

'If  we  don  'I,  they  say  we  are  too  serious. 

If  we  clip  things  from  other  papers. 

We  are  too  lazy  to  write  it  down  ourselves. 

If  we  don  X  we  are  stuck  on  our  own  stuff! 

If  we  make  a  change  in  a  fellow 's  writeup. 

We  are  too  critical,  and  if  we  don 't  we  are  astt 

Now,  likely  as  not,  someone  will  say 

We  swiped  this  from  some  other  paper. 

We  did! 


■Anonyn. 


The  above  case  is  just  an  example  of  how  it  is  virtually 
impossible  to  comply  with  the  standards  set  by  so  many 
people. 

With  every  person,  attitude  differs.  Each  one  ot  us 
develops  his  own  opinion  about  certain  issues.  Each  one  of 
us  seeks  to  satisfy  his  own  desires.  And  each  one  of  us, 
ilone.  is  incapable  of  "pleasing  all  the  people  all  the  time. 

Our  thinking  is  focused  in  one  direction.  Outside  sources 
influence  our  thinking;  but,  the  thinking  process  is  still 
personal.  Thus,  decisions  become  the  personal  stance  one 
adopts  after  a  period  of  thought. 

Attitude  is  the  result  of  a  conscious  decision  to  react  a 
particular  way  in  a  given  situation.  Environment, 
experience,  and  background  contribute  to  the  development 
of  attitudes. 

With  the  constant  mental  growth  of  an  individual,  some 
attitudes  tend  to  change.  As  time  progresses,  new  patterns 
of  thinking  are  accepted  and  old  decisions  adapt  to  the 
alteration. 

College  is  a  learning  center  where  our  growth  undergoes 
tremendous  changes.  As  a  result,  our  attitude  begins  to 
assimilate  itself  to  our  renewed  decision-making  process. 

This  paper  wants  to  make  you  aware  of  how  different 
people's  attitudes  are.

The  Southern  Accent  is  the  offlcl 

sssarlly  reflect  the  opinions  of  the 

editors,  Southern  College,  the  Sev 

enth-day  Advemist  church  or  the 

Folklore,  hunting  tales  and 
campfire  talk,  are  all  heavily 
laced  with  reference  to  owls. 
It's   understandable    enough, 
for  in  the  owls' s  silent  pas- 
sage,   and    unbirdlike    voice, 
there  is  fuel  enough  to  trigger 
even  a  halfway  active  imagin- 
ation. 
Representatives   of  the   owl 
family   are   nearly   worldwide 
with  a  total  of  134  species. 
Owls  hunt  a  variety  of  prey  (in 
keeping  with  their  size  and 
their  usual  haunts).    Rabbits, 
squirrels,  mice,  rats,  fish,  and 
insects  are  among  the  game 
owls  seek.     Here  are  some 
species  you  are  most  likely  to 
encounter  in  Tennessee. 
The  Great  Homed  Owl  is  a 
large  member  of  the   group, 
standing   about  20   inches. 
Prominent    ear    tufts,    white 
throat,  and  conspicuous  cross 
barring    of    the     underbelly 
readily  identify  this  species. 
A  skilled  hunter  of  a  variety  of 
small  creatures,  it  seems  to 
prefer  areas  of  heavy  timber, 
but  it  is  not  averse  to  more 
open  country.     Its  voice  is  a 
deep,  resonant  hooting. 
The  Barred  Owl  is  another 
large  woodland  species  well- 
known  to  Tennesseans.      Its 
loud  call  is  a  familiar  one  and 
is   often   imitated   by    spring 
turkey  hunters. 
The  large,  puffy  head  with- 
out ear  tufts,  dark  eyes,  and 
the  lengthwise  streaks  on  the 
chest,  are  unmistakable  field 
marks. 

The  Screech  Owl  is  the  small- 
est and  perhaps  the  most 
abundant  of  our  owls.  Meas- 
ring  about  eight  to  ten  inches 
in  length,  it  is  heard  in  back- 


yards in  town  as  often'  as  in 
more  remote  situations. 
Rather  than  a  screech  as  the 
name  implies,  the  usual  call  is 
a  pleasant  short,  low  quaver- 
ing trill. 

Small  size  and  the  ear  tufts 
readily  mark  this  bird.  There 
are  three  color  phases;  red, 
gray,  and  brown. 

Another  beauty  is  the  Barn 
towl.  With  its  white,  heart- 
shaped  face,  dark  eyes,  and 
light  body,  it  is  unlikely  to  be 
mistaken  for  any  of  our  other 
owls.   The  Monkey-faced  Owl 


is  a  name  sometimes  a 

to   this   species-  ,  i 

They  are  pr'emier  hunters  01 1 
small  mammals,  especia")! 
mice  and  rats,  and  therefore 
are  important  allies  of  fac- 
ers. A  rasping  call  and  I 
clicking  sound  represent  I 
species  usual  utterances.        I 

Some  of  the  best  pla«s      I 
campus  or  surrounding  area 
see    or    hear    owls    are 
student    park,    biology        .' 
and  on  Grindstone  mounts  |

Thatcher   Curfew—      Is     it    Justified? 


Mime  Kunyan 

iVlras 


1  here  are  many  different 
views  surrounding  the  n 
8:00  curfew  of  the  humble 
abode  of  our  lovely  damsels' 
otherwise  known  as  Thatcher 
Hall. 

In  the  past,  many  of  these 
young  lovelies  have  found  this 
'rule  to  be  convenient  for  their 
evening  stroll  to  the  lobby 
comfortably  attired  in  a  bath 
irobe.  While  to  the  North  the 
males  of  our  campus  residing 
in  Talge  Hall  dress  appropri-1 
atery  for  female  guests  until 
10:30. 

The  young  men  feel  quite 
comfortable  dressing  for  our 


welcome  guests  and  would 
kindly  appreciate  the  ladies 
bestowing  this  privilege  to  us 
.as  we  have  to  them. 
PDA  has  been  considered  a 
problem  in  need  of  a  remedy. 
As  a  hopeful  solution  the 
administration  has  strongly 
encouraged  that  no  one  loiter' 
in  front  of  the  dorm  or  enter: 
the  lobby  after  visiting  hours.  I 
To  this,  a  question  has  been" 
raised  by  many.  Why  should  a 
dozen  or  so  students  spoil 
those  privileges  that  were 
once  enjoyed  by  the  entire! 
student  body?  i 

I  realize  that  it  is  extremely. 


Anyone  visiting  Thatcher 
Hall  on  a  week  night  will  see  a 
sign  upon  entering  which 
reads,  "No  Gentlemen 
visitors  after  8:00  pm".  Many 
ha  e  asked,  "Why  the  magic 
hour  of  8:00  pm"?  Had  you 
visited  Thatcher  during  the 
August  session  when  we  had 

would  have  been  obvious.  The 
lobby  was  packed  with  groups 
socializing  and  guests  and, 
visitors  found  it  necessary  toj 
fight  their  way  to  the  front} 


desk.       After    reaching    the 
receptionist  one  had  to  yell  to 
be   heard   above  the   noise. 
Telephone    traffic     is    heavy 
during  evening  hours  and  the 
amount  of  noise  and  activity 
the  lobby  made  phone  conv< 
sations    almost    impossible, 
We  are  delighted  to  have  male 
visitors    come    and    to    have 
;  groups  form  to  u'k  and  sing; 
;  but  the  lobby  is  not  equipped 
(to  handle  groups  for  prolong- 
ed socialization.

rather  than  the  old  adage  out 
jot  sight,  out  of  mind. 
Our  lovely  campus  is  known 
for  its  picturesque  setting.   At 

favorably  remembered.  Espe- 
cially for  its  unpredictable 
weather.  In  the  cold  wi 
it  becomes,  an  in 
:  for  courting  males  i 
pick  up  their  dates, 
re   els-.*   would    a    male 


have  to  encounter  frost-bite  as 
a  possibility  if  he  shouldn't 
■perfectly  time  his  rendezvous 
on    he  front  steps?  i 

Whatever  happened  "to"  the 
trust  in  a  polite  gentleman 
calling  on  his  favorite  younj 
lai' .  for  a  date  in  a  respectable 
atmosphere? 

j  I  believe  that  the  inconven^ 
,  ience  we  face  today  outweighs 
the  past  reasoning  when  the 
rule  was  first  established.  The 
rule  itself  has  merit  in  some 
ways  but,  at  least  a  system 
oould  be  devised  in  which  a 
young  man  could  simply. enter 
thp  Inbbv  to  pick  up  his  date 


Our  residents  feel  that  after 
8:00  it  should  be  their  privi- 
lege to  relax  and  feel  at  home. 
,A  resident  may  wish  to  go  to 
i  the  trunk  room,  or  the  vending 
and  sfftffu?  area,  or  sit  down 
.md  read  the  newspaper 
housecoat.    A  crowded  lobby 
inhibits    the    comfort   of   oi 
residents     during     the     tin 
when  they  feel  the  need  of 
quiet,  relaxed  atmosphere. 

We    have    a    doorbell    and| 
intercom  to  thej  desk  to  assit 


anyone  who  finds  it  necessary: 
to  come  over  after  8:00  pm. 
Our  intent  is  not  to  make, 
Ourselves  inaccessible  to  the 
fellas  when  a  legitimate  need 
arises,  only  to  free  our  lobby 
of  the  heavy  traffic-  and 
encourage  socializes  to  find  a 
more  appropriate  place.  (The 
Student  Center  is  veryl 
adequately      equipped      and 

I  staffed    and    we    encourage,'

A  quick  look  at  last  year's 
Headlines  column  is  enough  to 
boggle  the  mind.  The  world  is 
changing  so  rapidly  and 
■ramatically  that  it's  hard  to 
Keep  things  straight.  Before 
beginning  this  year's  News- 
briefs  let's  take  a  brief  look  at 
Bhe    current    state    of    world 

JThe   Lebanese   crisis   repre- 
i  yet  another  serious  set- 
While    the    Israelis 
founded     their    Syrian     and 
Palestinian    allies     with     US 
made    weapons,    the    Soviets 
did  little  more  than  sit  on  their 
humbs.  This  lesson  won't  be 
■  on  the  Arab  world.     It's 
v  clear  that  the  US,  through 
powerful    Israeli    Client- 
ftate.  holds  all  the  cards  that 
natter  in  the  Middle  East. 
The  US  has  taken  its  lumps 
|  well.     An  effective  Soviet 
opaganda  campaign  and  US 
olicy  blunders  including  the 
urrent        oil-gas        pipeline 
inbargo    have    combined    to 


create  the  greatest  crisis  in 
US — Western  European  rela- 
tions since  World  War  II. 
Short  sighted  US  foreign 
policy  decisions  have  caused 
severe  diplomatic  problems 
with    China    and    the    Arab 

US-Chinese  relations  have 
been  hurt  by  the  recent  arms 
deal  between  the  US  and 
Taiwan.  Fortunately,  the 
Reagan  Administration  was 
able  to  cut  its  losses  and  patch 
things  up  with  China. 

The  President  has  his 
troubles  also.  Although  infla- 
tion has  gone  down,  it  has 
done  so  at  the  cost  of  a  severe 
recession  and  unemployment 
figures  are  close  to  ten 
percent. 

Now  it  seems  President 
Reagan  must  drop  his  hard 
line  ideological  approach  to 
both  domestic  and  foreign- 
policy. 

For    example,     the    oil-gas 


pipeline  embargo,  enacted 
after  the  Polish  martial  law 
declaration,  must  end.  It  will 
not  prevent  the  building  of  the 
pipeline  and  may  cause  severe 
damage  to  US-European 
relations. 

The  US  must  also  change  its 
diplomatic  policies  with  the 
Israelis.  The  1973  war  proved 
the  US  can  manipulate  Israeli 
policy  when  it  wants  to. 
President  Reagan  must  simply 
show  that  he  definitely  wants 

The  most  pressing  problem  is 
the  economy.  The  time  for 
high  sounding  rhetoric  about 
all  the  problems  the  Demo- 
crats left  Reagan  is  over.  He 
must  now  show  that  he  can 
deal  with  high  interest  and 
unemployment  rates.  If  not, 
soon  Mr.  Carter's  economy 
will  become  Mr.  Reagan's 
and,  in  1984,  we  will  see  a 
•epeatofthe  "throw  the  bums 
out"  mentality  that  character- 
ized the  1980  election.

SOFTBALL    SCOOPS 


It  was  the  first  game  of  the 
season.  I  was  on  my  way  to 
the  softball  fields.  As  I 
rounded  the  corner  of  the  VM, 
I  stopped  suddenly.  There 
were  lots  of  people  watching. 
1  hastened  my  step  in  order  to 
determine  who  had  come  to 
watch.  As  the  evening  pro- 
gressed, the  crowd  kept  grow- 
ing. Ii  was  definitely  the  best 
turnout  I  had  seen  since  1  had 
been  at  school. 

This  is  what  our  intramural 
program  is  all  about — partici- 
pation. Not  only  by  the 
players,  but  by  the  fans  as 
well.  Whether  we  take  sports 
seriously  or  whether  we  sim- 
ply play  for  exercise,  everyone 
can  enjoy  sports. 
The  main  thing  is  to  get 
involved.  "Involvement"  is 
the  key  word  this  year  in  SC 
sports.  You  do  not  have  to  be 
athletic  to  take  part  in  the 
optional  activities.  From  soft- 
ball  to  cycling,  from  basketball 
tojogging,  you  can  participate 
in  almost  any  sport  that  suits 
you. 

This  year  the  Southern  Ac- 
cent sports  section  will  be 
concentrating  on  the  intra- 
dural program  and  other 
sports  activities  here  at  SC. 
Time  Out  is  all  about  what  is 
happening  here  at  Southern 
College.

The  1982  fastpitch  softball 
season  got  off  to  a  slow  start 
last  week.  Most  of  the  games 
were  rained  out  on  Wednes- 
day and  Thursday. 

However,  some  fine  play  was 
displayed  in  the  games  sched- 
uled for  Monday  and  Tuesday. 
In"A"  League  action,  Giebell 
defeated  Gaber  7-5.  A  s< 
less  tie  was  broken  in  the  third 
inning  with  a  bases  loaded 
double  by  Craig  Stone, 
throwing  error  enabled  Stone 
to  come  home  to  make  the 
score  4-0. 

Giebell  scored  three  i 
runs  and  Gaber  rallied  to  s 
five  with  the  home  run   by 


David  Peterson. 

Tuesday  night,  Pettijohn  de- 
feated Cummings  4-3.  Petti- 
John's  team  started  off  the 
game  by  scoring  three  runs  in 
the  top  of  the  first  inning. 

Cummings  came  right  back 
in  the  bottom  of  the  first  with 
two  runs,  keyed  by  an  RBI 
triple  by  Dave  Botimer.  The 
rest  of  the  contest  was  a 
defensive  battle,  with  the  only 
scoring  being  home  runs  by 
Rick  Greve  and  Botimer. 

In  "B"  League,  two  games 
were  played.  Krall  defeated 
Mock  despite  a  home  run  by 
Glenn  Greenlee.  Tuesday 
night  Lebo  defeated  Lamb.

Editor's  Note: 

We  here  at  the  Southern 
Accent,  have  a  practice.  We 
enjoy  reliving  pleasant  exper- 
iences and  relish  well-written 

One  of  our  most  beloved 
writers,  who  has  moved  on  to 
a  better  world,  still  holds  a 
special  place.  This  week  we 
remember,  Steve  Dickerhoff, 
as  his  spirit  lingers  in  our 
office. 

I  am  usually  an  open-minded 
person  when  it  comes  to 
alternative  life  styles,  but 
there  is  one  going  around 
SMC  that  has  gotten  a  little 
too  close  to  home. 

Last  year,  my  best  friend  and 
I  hung  around  together  all  the 
time.    We    wore    Levi's    and 


were  proud  of  it,  and  then  this 
Prep  thing  came  along  and 
kind  of  upset  us.  Of  course, 
we  were  like  every  other 
non-prep,  and  sat  in  the 
cafeteria  and  made  the  prep 
jokes  and  rated  every  prep's 
clothes  on  its  Blindness  Factor 
(BF).  We  scored  relative  to 
how  much  we  had  to  squint 
when  looking  at  a  prep. 

Well,  Christmas  came  and 
went,  and  my  friend  came 
back  wearing  an  Izod  sweater. 
I  approached  him  in  disbelief 
and  asked  him  what  had  come 
over  him. 

"It's  a  long  story,"  he 
began.  "I  didn't  have  the 
nerve  to  tell  you  first  semes- 
ter, but..." 

He  couldn't  goon.  It  was  too 
horrible  to  even  think  about. 


"I  did  a  lot  of  thinking  over 
Christmas  break,"  he  contin- 
ued, '  'and  I  have  decided  to  be 
honest  with  you  and  with 
myself.  First  semester,  deep 
down  inside  of  me  I  was  a 
latent  prep.  I've  realized  I 
can't  hide  it  forever,  so  I  have 
decided  to  come  out  of  the 
closet." 

I  stood  there  stunned.  As  I 
began  to  walk  away,  he  hand- 
ed me  a  "Preps  Are  People 
Too"  button.  I  didn't  see  my 
friend  for  a  long  time  after 
that.  One  day  as  I  walked 
through  the  lobby,  there  he 
sat  playing  back-gammon  with 
one  of  "them." 

"Long  time  no  see,"  he  said. 

I  really  didn't  want  to  be  seen 
talking  with  him,  but  I  forced 
myself. 


"Nice  pair  of  green  pants. 
Don't  believe  I've  ever  seen  a 
shade  of  green  quite  that 
bright  before." 

"Well,  it's  the  newest,  you 
know.  What  do  you  think  of 
my  Oxford's?"  > 

I  couldn't  take  it  any  longer. 
Here  was  a  semi-normal 
human-being  transformed 
before  my  eyes,  and  I  couldn't 
do  a  thing  to  stop  it.  I  decided 
I  had  to  do  something,  sb  the 
next  Sunday  I  went  up  to  his 

"How  about  going  out  and 
throwing  the  football 

around?"  I  asked. 

"Man,  I  would  really  like  to, 
but  a  hunch  of  us  are  going 
sailing  this  afternoon,  and  I 
can't  make  it." 

"Whv?"  I  asked  in  desper- 


ation. '  'Why  did  you 
change?" 

"Well,"  he  began,  "I  really 
don't  know.  I've  always  had 
this  thing  for  brightly  colored 
neon  signs,  and  I  guess  I've 
always  pictured  myself  as  one. 

And  another  thing,  matching 
clothes  has  always  been  hard 
for  me,  and  with  this  new  style 
I  just  get  up  every  morning 
and  throw  on  the  first  thing  I 
see — and  it  works.  I  know  it's 
probably  hard  for  you  to 
understand,"  he  said  as  he 
put  his  hands  into  his  yellow 
pants,  "but,  I  guess  you  must 
have  to  walk  a  mile  in  a  prep's 
boat  moccasins  to  under- 
stand."

The  final  portions  of  the 
Joker  were  delivered  to  the 
College  Press  on  Wenesday, 
September  1,  according  to 
Editor  Jon  Larrabee. 

Preparation  for  the  Joker 
started  soon  after  the  previous 
edition  was  released.  Student 
Missionaries,  Task  Force 
workers,  Orlando  students, 
faculty  and  staff  were  person- 
ally requested  and  persistent- 
ly reminded  to  get  their  pic- 
tures taken.  Ads  were  obtain- 
ed and  submitted  to  the  press 
long  before  registration. 

Actual  layout  was  scheduled 
for  Monday,  August  30,  so  as 
to  include  the  majority  of  late 
registrants.  John  Kendall 
spent  many  hours  program- 
ming so  that  the  type  could  be 
set  automatically. 

If  everything  goes  smoothly, 
we  can  expect  the  1982  Joker 
to  be  released  soon.

If  there's  one  thing  undergrad 
business  students  have  always 
needed,  this  is  it:  an  affordable 
business-oriented  calculator. 
The  Student  Business  Analyst 
Its  built-in  business  formulas 
let  you  perform  complicated 
finance,  accounting  and 
statistical  functions-the  ones 
that  usually  require  a  lot  of 
time  and  a  stack  of  reference 
books,  like  present  and  future 
value  calculations,  amortiza- 
tions and  balloon  payments. 


It  all  means  you  spend  1 
time  calculating,  and  more 
time  learning.  One  keystroke 
takes  the  place  of  many. 
The  calculator  is  just  part 


of  the  package.  You  also  get 
a  book  that  follows  most 
business  courses:  the  Business 
Analyst  Guidebook.  Business 
professors  helped  us  write  it, 
to  help  you^et  the  most  out 
of  calculator  and  classroom. 
A  powerful  combination.

Coffins  ministers  to  SC 


Mr.  Jim  Coffin,  currently  an 
assistant  editor  of  the  Adven- 
tist  Review,  is  conducting  this 
semester's  Week  of  Spiritual 
Emphasis  at  Southern 
College. 
Concerned  with  a  need  to 
change  our  perspective  about 
j  God,  Coffin's  meetings 
include  personal  stories,  new 
twists  to  Bible  stories,  and  an 
animated  style  which  brings 
his  talks  to  life. 
Mr.  Coffin  served  as  a  pastor 
in  Australia  before  serving  as 
pastor  at  the  Burtonsville, 
Maryland  church.    Yet  Coffin 

found  Southerners  to  be 
friendly.    "I  have  been  to  SC 

years  past,"  he  com 
mented.  "The  buildings  have 
changed  but  I  received  a  very 

n     reception     and     have 
found  the  people  to  be  very 
friendly." 
Looking    forward    to    being 
with    SC's    students,    Coffin 


says  that  it  is  hard  to  start  a 
week  of  prayer  but  he  finds  it 
"challenging." 

"For  real"  closly  character- 
izes student  comments  con- 
cerning the  first  part  of  the 
week:  "He  makes  everything 
so  realistic."  "He  is  dynamic 
and  illustrative."  "He  is 
interesting  because  of  his 
energy  and  humor." 

In  addition  to  his   speaking 
appointments,      Mr.      Coffin    £ 
counseled  interested  students 
throughout  the  week. 

Cutting  to  the  heart  of  the 
issue  about  the  outcome  of  the 
meetings,  the  speaker  em- 
phacized  the  "we  need  a  180 
degree  turn  around  for  a 
dynamic  relationship  with 
God." 

Mr.  Coffin's  ministry  here  at 
SC  testifies  to  his  hope  of  a 
spiritual  regeneration  for  SC 
and  elsewhere. 


Orchestra  begins 


By  Leanns  Facundus 

The  SC  Symphony  broke  all 
previous  records  of  member- 
ship with  80  musicians  joining 
the  group  this  year,  eight 
more  than  the  record  of  1981 
when  the  orchestra  toured  the 
South  Pacific. 

A  majority  of  the  new  16 
members  stated  that  the 
symphony  was  an  important 
factor  in  their  decision  to 
attend  Southern  College. 
"The  members  are  quite 
gifted  and  dedicated  to 
produce  quality  perfor- 
mances," stated  Orlo  Gilbert, 
director  of  the  orchestra. 

Because  of  the  symphony's 
contribution  to  the  world 
cultural  exchanges,  evidenced 
by  the  successful  tours  to  the 
Orient  in  1979  and  the  South 
Pacific  in  1981,  the  World's 
Fair  Performing  Arts  Commit- 
tee has  extended  an  invitation 
to  the  symphony  to  perform  in 
Knoxville  on  October  17. 

Other  activities  for  the  orche- 
stra this  year  include  a  tour  to 
the  Orlando,  Florida  area  in 
November,  the  home  concert 
on  Nevember  20  with  guest

Haynes  Appointed 


Learning  center 
to  open 


By  Maureen  Mayden 

Southern  College's  new 
Learning  Center  will  be  direc- 
ted by  Mrs.  Carol  Haynes,  of 
Collegedale. 

Haynes  is  currently  working 
on  her  Ph.D.  (her  thesis  deals 
with  learning  centers)  at  the 
University  of  Tennessee  at 
Knoxville.  She  also  interned 
for  a  time  at  Chattanooga 
State's  Learning  Center.  Her 
specialities  are  teaching,  read- 
ing and  study  skills.  _ 

.Southern  College's  Learning 
Center  will  provide  tutoring  of 
help  with  any  class  students 
have  trouble  with.  It  will  be  a 
center  of  learning,  according 
to  Haynes.  She  also  ex- 
pressed the  availability  of  the 
Center  to  faculty  for  improv- 
ing teaching  skills.  Various 
other  programs  can  be  added 
to  suit  individual  needs. 

Dr.  Frank  Knittel,  president 
of  Southern  College,  stated 
that  the  official  planning  for 
the  Center  must  begin  by 
October  1,  1982,  and  that  it 


should  be  fully  open  by  Jan- 
uary, 1983.  Mrs.  Haynes  feels 
that  a  limited  beginning,  such 
as  tutoring,  could  start  right 
away,  and  agreed  with  the 
second  semester  opening  date 
for  full  operation  of  the 
Center. 

Haynes  expressed  the  need 
for  lots  of  space  in  a  central- 
ized location  for  the  new 
center.  She  would  not  state  a 
preference,  but  merely  said 
that  five  places  on  campus 
were  bring  considered. 

One  of  Haynes'  first  duties 
will  be  to  rewrite  the  organi- 
zational material  for  the  Ce  i- 
ter.  An  unexpected  cut  in  t'1  e 
governmental  grant  has  t  e- 
cessitated  a  need  ?r  ^^

Mrs.  Haynes  stated  that  t  is 
type  of  program  has  been  v  ry 
successful  in  colleges  such  as

students  and  faculty  of  Soi  rh-

\Q 


SC  at  the  crossroads 


At  one  tune  or  another  during  its  history,  every  business, 
institution  and  government  questions  its  reason  for 
existence.  People  inside  and  outside  of  the  organization 
wonder  which  way  things  are  heading  and  how  they  can  help 
redirect  the  thrust  of  current  affairs.  Southern  College  has 
reached  that  critical  point  in  its  history. 

Certain  conservative  forces  on  the  outside  have  assailed  the 
college  for  liberal  and  heretical  ideas  and  policies.  Some 
radical  publications  have  urged  the  removal  or  resignation  ot 
top  leaders~at  SC  and  the  conferences  and  union  affliated 
with  the  college.  This,  they  believe,  will  solve  everything 
On  the  other  hand,  students  at  SC  are  complaining  about  the 
strictly  enforced  rules  and  the  seemingly  harsh  sentences 
meted  out  when  they  are  broken.  So  which  way  will  SC  s 
administration  turn? 

The  Southern  College  Board  of  Trustees,  who  met  on 
September  15,  will  try  to  guide  and  direct  SC's  future.  Yet 
those  men  walk  a  very  thin  line.  A  sharp  swing  to  the  right 
would  alienate  many  students  and  faculty  members  at  SC 
while  a  move  to  the  left  could  further  inflame  certain  factions 
in  the  Southern  Union. 

Some  people  have  offered  simple  answers  to  the  complex 
problems  at  SC.  But  these  unwise  and  foolish  solutions  will 
not  solve  the  complex  problems,  only  compound  them. 

Southern  College's  problems  will  not  go  away  overnight. 
Only  with  dedicated  effort  and  unity  can  SC  pass  this 
crossroad  and  continue  on  the  path  of  servi^

Due  to  administrative 
changes  within  the  framework 
of  the  Southern  Accent  this 
issue  has  been  produced 
under  extremely  unusual  cir- 
cumstances. Under  the  situa- 
tion at  hand  it  is  my  Constitu- 
tional responsibility  to  appoint 
an  interim  editor.  In  order  to 
maintain  at  least  temporary 
continuity  it  would  have  been 
only  natural  to  ask  the  assis- 


tant editor  to  take  control  of 
the  paper  until  an  election 
could  take  place.  Due  to  his 
resignation,  however,  this  was 
impossible.  As  a  result,  I 
asked  the  remaining  staff  to 
combine  their  talents  to  com-* 
plete  this  issue  according  to 
the  plans  already  laid.  The 
intent  of  this  decision  was  to 
publish  news  that  had  already 
been  researched  while  it  was

The  bobcat,  or  wildcat,  as  it 
is  called,  is  much  larger  than  a 
house  cat  and  has  longer  legs 
and  a  short  tail.  Its  weight 
ranges  from  15  to  35  pounds 
with  a  few  individuals  tipping 
the  scales  at  40  pounds,  the 
color  is  yellowish  to  reddish-

black  spots,  allowing  it  to 
blend  in  quite  well  with   its 

The  most  likely  spot  to  find  a 
bobcat  would  be  in  a  heavily 
forested  area.  The  normal 
territory  of  one  of  these  cats

miles,  but  if  food  is  scarce,  it 
may  wander  over  more  than 
twenty  miles  in   search  of  a 

These  meals  consist  mainly 
of  small  mammals  such  as 
rabbits,  squirrels,  rats  and 
mice.  A  full-grown  bobcat  has, 
been  known  to  attack  and  kill 
deer,  indicating  that  the  big 
cat  was  very  hungry  and  the 


was  very  old  or  sick.  A 
healthy  deer  would  prove  to  be 

tough  a  fighter  for  a

Southern  Players  plans  plays 


By  Laurie  Loga 

Ad  lecile  inoa  emphasees 
)!ii!a  du  "i".  And  rememba, 
you  is  macho.  Cool.  Walka 
lika  you  owns  da  world.  Lika 
dis..." 

Actually,  the  mini-dialogue 
above  is  just  a  fragment  of  the 
conversation  which  abounds 
each  Monday  and  Wednesday 
nights  on  various  parts  of  the 
campus.  Approximately  15  SC 
students  participate,  often 
making  the  room  sound  like  a 
foreign  language  convention 
at  the  UN  building. 

But  these  students  really  do 
have  a  method  in  their  mad- 
ness. They  are  SC's  newest 
drama  group.  Southern  Play- 
ers. And  although  each 
practice  session  is  not  spent 
learning   new   dialogues    and 


accents,  the  actors  neverth- 
less  are  presented  with  vari- 
ous other  challenges  which 
they  must  meet. 

The  group  really  had  its 
beginning  last  spring  when 
Clyde  Garey,  director  of  the 
Players,  cast  the  play  "Flow- 
ers for  Algernon."  Being  a 
newcomer  to  SC  himself, 
Garey  had  entertained 
thoughts  before  of  starting  a 
group,  but  had  nothing  solidi- 
fied. 

"I  hadn't  intended  to  use  the 
cast  from  'Flowers'  as  the 
group,  but  everyone  worked, 
very  well  together  and  we 
needed  a  good  solid  struc- 
ture," says  Garey. 
The   director   has   a   unique 

purpose  in  mind  for  his  actors. 


"Within  each  human  being, 
there  is  a  desire  to  participate 
in  the  arts.  All  of  us  have  this 
desire,  which  comes  out  in  art, 
music,  writing,  or  some  other 
form,  some  people  simply 
don't  fit  in  the  other  catego- 
ries; their  talent  lies  in  per- 
forming. I  want  to  uncover 
that  talent  and  make  these 
individuals  realize  that  acting 
isn't  just  an  ego  trip,  but 
rather  a  worthwhile  effort 
legitimate  in  and  of  itself." 

Few  people  realize  the 
amount  of  work  and  long 
hours  which  go  into  the  pro- 
duction of  a  play.  Since  the 
Players  goal  is  to  be  as 
professional  as  possible,  each 
actor  must  spend  some  time 


each  day  in  practice  on  his 
own.  As  performance  time 
nears,  the  actors  spend  sever- 
al hours  at  a  time  working  to 
my  actors  personally  and  I 
expect  a  great  deal  from 
them,"  Garey  says  firmly. 

Contrary  to  popular  belief, 
most  of  the  Players  are  not 
communication  majors,  al- 
though a  few  are.  Future 
nurses,  businessmen,  secre- 
taries and  PE  teachers  all 
combine  their  interest  and 
enthusiasm  to  make  the  group 

Three  plays  have  already 
been  listed  on  the  calendar  for 
this  year  and  several  more  are 
being  considered.  Also  on  the 
list  of  possibilities  are  some 


off-campus  productions, 

though  the  group  does  not 
plan  to  go  on  tour. 

Southern  Players  would  like 
to  show  their  audiences  this 
year  that  while  spotlights  and 
applause  are  nice  fringe  bene- 
fits, the  main  purpose  of  the 
group  is  to  give  trj^hose  who 
take  the^^im*'  to  attend  the 
performances.  Each  actor  has 
found  out  that  the  best  part  of 
acting  is  knowing  that  the 
audience  will  walk  away  with 
something  besides  a  ticket 
stub.^omething  that  will  stay 
with  them  long  after  the 
applause  if  forgotten. 

And  that,  in  a  word  or  two,  is 
really  what  the  group  is  all 
about.

ISRAEL  LAUNCHED  a  series 
of  air  raids  against  Syrian  and 
Palestinian  positions  because 
of  alleged  cease-fire  violations 
by  the  Arabs.  These  raids 
destroyed  a  number  of  Syrian

Should  Southern  college  offer 
aerobics  class?  Actually  the 
question  is,  "Should  we  be 
offering  this  class  with  the 
wrong  kind  of  music,  (disco. 

Let  me  share  a  few  words  of 
advice  from  Mrs.  White. 
"The  introduction  of  music 
into  their  homes  instead  of 
inciting  to  holiness  and  spirit- 
uality, has  been  the  means  of 
diverting  their  minds  from  the 
truth.  Frivolous  songs  and  the 
popular  sheet  music  of  the  day 


Aerobic  exercise  to  music  has 
gained  widespread  attention 
thoughout  the  United  States 
recently.  Jackie  Sorenson 
developed  many  of  the  early 
programs  which  resulted  from 
the  early  stage  of  the  fitness 
craze  of  the  late  70's  and  early 
80's.  Aerobics  to  music  is  an 
excellent  form  of  exercise. 

Most  aerobic  classes  are  not 
coeducational.  It  is  a  great 
way  for  women  to  exercise  in  a 
wholesome  social  surround- 
ing. 

While  many  aerobic  classes 
are  designed  and  centered 
around  modern  dance  and 
music  that  would  be  "unac- 
ceptable" by  Adventist  stan- 
dards, it  is  quite  possible  to 


seem  congenial  to  their 
taste...  Music  when  not  abus- 
ed, is  a  great  blessing,  but 
when  put  to  a  wrong  use,  it  is 
a  terrible  curse."  1  Testimon- 
ies p.  497. 

We  need  to  consider  what 
kind  of  music  we  are  using 
with  our  exercise  classes. 
This  music  is  the  music  which 
is  played  in  the  popular  get 
togethers  of  the  world.  What 
kind  of  amusements  are  en- 
joyed there?   Is  it  not  enough 


develop  programs  based  on 
acceptable  movement  and 
wholesome  music.  It  has  been 
our  goal  at  Southern  College 
to  strive  to  make  our  aerobic 
exercise  programs  enjoyable 
and  beneficial  while  maintain- 
ing the  highest  standards  in 

When  designed  properly, 
aerobics  can  provide  many 
physiological  advantages.  In- 
creases in  aerobic  capacity  or 
cardiovascular/cardio- 
respiratory  efficiency  result. 
Corresponding  increases  in 
muscular  strength  and  endur- 
ance also  occur.  A  reduction 
in  resting  heart  rate,  exercise 
heart  rate,  and  cholesterol 
may    also   be    seen.       When

for  us  to  realize  that  the  world 
associates  worldly  desires 
with  this  music?  Do  we  want 
to  condone  that  by  making  it  a 
part  of  our  exercise  program? 

In  the  Great  Controversy, 
Page  587,  in  the  chapter 
Impending  Conflict,  "We  may 
disguise  poison  by  mingling  it 
with  wholesome  food,  but  we 
do  not  change  its  nature.  On 
the  contrary,  it  is  rendered 
more  dangerous,  as  it  is  more 
likely  to  be  taken 

Isn't  that  exactly  what 


engaged  in,  aerobics  may  also 
increase  fat  metabolism  which 
in  turn  decreases  the  amount 
of  adipose  tissue  present  and 
the  end  result  is  an  overall  loss 
in  inches. 

Aerobics  also  provides  a 
social  outlet  for  aggression. 
The  end  result  is  less  tension. 
The  feeling  of  accomplishment 
and  group  belonging  is  diffi- 
cult to  measure,  but  there  is 
little  doubi  that  these  areas 
are        important.  Self- 

are  important.  Self-image 
may  also  be  enhanced  by 
participation  with  like  mem- 
bers from  your  peer  group. 

When  done  on  a  regular 
basis  of  at  least  three  times 


doing?  Exercise  is  good  for  us 
but  why  mix  it  with  question- 
able music? 

In  Evangelism  page  502  it 
reads,  "The  science  of  Salva- 
tion is  to  be  the  burden  of 
every  sermon,  the  theme  of 
every  song.  Let  it  be  poured 
forth  in  every  supplication." 

Students,  staff,  and  faculty, 
Jesus'  coming  is  so  very  near. 
I  believe  none  of  us  can  afford 
to  have  our  minds  and  inter- 
ests anywhere  else.

Pastor  Gordon  Bietz 


Once  upon  a  time  in  Fenton 
Forest  there  was  a  squirrel 
who  decided  to  develop  a 
business  of  selling  nuts.  He 
was  an  industrious  squirrel 
and  thought  that  others  might 
enjoy  the  good  nuts  he  collect- 
ed as  much  as  he  did.  So 
Simon,  for  that  was  his  name, 
set  up  the  NUT  HUT  on  a  busy 
intersection  of  Fenton  Forest. 
He  worked  nis  heart  out 
getting  the  stand  set  up, 
spending  many  hours  each 
day  until  the  NUT  HUT  was 
really  a  A  very  attractive 
stand.  The  NUT  HUT  carried 
a  large  variety  of  first  quality 
nuts. 


One  thing  that  concerned 
Sammy  was  how  to  tell  the 
other  animals  in  the  forest 
about  the  NUT  HUT.  He 
decided  that  he  needed  to 
advertise  and  so  he  hired 
Sammy  Jay  to  do  advertising. 
Signs  were  placed  at  appro- 
priate places  in  the  forest  to 
tell  other  animals  about  the 
NUT  HUT.  Some  TV  advertis- 
ing was  even  purchased  to 
exclaim  the  goodness  of  his 
nuts.  The  NUT  HUT  became 
Very  popular  among  all  the 
animals  in  the  forest. 

He  discovered  that  there 
truly  were  many  other  animals 
who  enjoyed  the  nuts  as  well 


as  he  did  and  business  pros- 
pered. He  had  to  hire  other 
squirrels  to  collect  nuts  for  the 
business  and  he  even  bought  a 
new  stove  to  roast  nuts.  He 
expanded  the  NUT  HUT  to 
include  a  place  where  animals 
could  sit  down  and  eat. 
Business  was  great  and  Simon 
was  truly  enjoying  himself. 

One  day  his  son  came  home 
from  Squirrel  Tech.  Simon 
had  been  looking  forward  to 
having  him  help  him  with  the 
NUT  HUT.  But  his  son  said, 
"Dad,  haven't  you  been  lis- 
tening to  the  radio  or  reading 
the  newspaper?" 

Simon  admitted  that  he  had 


not  been  reading  the  news- 
paper or  watching  television — 
he  had  been  too  busy  selling 
nuts.  "Well,"  his  son  said, 
"If  you  would  have  been 
paying  attention  to  what  is 
going  on  in  the  world  you 
would  know  that  things  are 
really  bad.  There  is  a  big 
depression.  People  are  out  of 
work,  interest  rates  are  high 
and  I  heard  that  the  market  for 
nuts  will  fall.  Who  knows 
where  it  will  all  end." 

Simon  thought,  "Well,  my 
son's  been  to  college,  he  reads 
the  papers  and  listens  to  the 
radio  and  he  ought  to  know 
what  is  going  on." 


So  Simon  fired  the  squirrels 
that  were  collecting  nuts  for 
him  and  canceled  the  TV 
advertising.  He  reduced  the 
hours  that  the  NUT  HUT  was 
open  and  told  Sammy  Jay  that 
he       wouldn't       need      his

students,  its  fullest. 


What  suggestions  do  you 
have  for  the  "post  week  of

maintain  our  relationship  with 
God  and  draw  closer  to  Him?

Animal  shelter  starts 


Since  last  September  of  1981 , 
Southern  College  has  been 
operating  a  live  animal  facility 
next  to  Hackman  Hall  on  the 
north  side  and  next  to  Lynn 
Wood  Hall. 

Dr.  Grundset.  the  person 
responsible  for  getting  this 
project  rolling,  thought  that  at 
one  time,  Hackman  Hall 
would  require  an  addition,  but 
that  proved  to  be  very  expen- 
sive. The  facility  is  a  trailer 
donated  by  the  village  housing 
department. 

According  to  Dave  Matthew- 
son,  who  is  in  charge  of  the 
rehabilitation  work  inside  and 
whom  takes  care  of  the  many 
animals  that  now  resides,  says 


the  purpose  is  "to  have  a 
place  that  not  only  has  more 
space,  but  can  keep  all  ani- 
mals in  one  area  instead  of 
being  scattered  throughout 
the  main  building."  There 
will  be  various  experiments 
performed  during  and  after 
class  periods  and  labs. 

Why  is  the  facility  so  impor- 
tant? According  to  Dr.  David 
Steen,  "there  was  a  general 
realization  that  the  Biology 
Department  needed  live  ani- 
mals to  study." 

Matthewson  also  said,  "it 
gives  us  more  room  to  observe 
wild  animals  captured  from 
our  own  biology  trail,  sur- 
rounding counties,  and  as  far 


av. av  as  California  and  South 
Afnerica.  We  have  already 
observed  a  Western  Cotton] 
mouth  Moccasin  giving  binn

"No!  No!  I  am  here  to  warn

"Do  you  see  these  chains?" 


"Sure.  And  if  you  don't  quit 
making  a  racket  the  dean  will

Ignoring  me,  he  went 
"Each  link  represents  a  time

.  "Like  what?"  I  asked,  shiv

"Dont  ever  pick  on  Schlis

I  tried  to  console  him.  "Look

Houck  and  Carter  research  topics 


Doctors  Duane  Houck  and 
Hon  Carter,  instructors  in  the 
Natural  Science  Division  of 
SC,  spent  this  past  summer 
doing  research  in  their 
respective  fields  of  interest, 
botany  and  evolution. 

Dr.  Duane  Houck.  professor 
of  biology,  has  written  a  paper 
that  is  to  be  published  within 
the  next  year  by  [he  American 
Journal  of  Botany.  The  paper 
is  based  on  research  done  by 
Dr.  Houck  and  Loren  Riese- 
berg,  an  SMC  graduate  of  '81 , 
on  the  bryophyllum  calyci- 
num,  more  commonly  known 
as  the  Life  plant. 

Dr.  Houck  discovered  that 
little  research  had  been  done 
on  the  plant,  and  has  been 
studying  and  observing  it 
under  variious  conditions  ever 
since.  The  results  of  his 
research.  Which  is  cited  in  his 
paper,  is  that  a  chemical, 
auxin,  inhibits  the  embryo-like 
substance  around  the  edge"  of 


the  leaf  when  attached  to  the 
plant,  but  when  the  leaf  is 
detached  enzymes  are  acti- 
vated taht  work  against  the 
auxin  allowing  the  hormones 
to  be  stimulated  and  the  buds 
released. 

Currently,  Dr.  Houck,  with 
the  assistance  of  Terry 
Andrade,  is  doing  more  re- 
search with  the  hope  of  learn- 
ing the  amount  of  auxin  within 
an  attached  leaf  and  its  con- 
centration when  the  leaf  is 
severed  and  budding. 

Dr.  Houck  explained  the 
importance  of  his  research. 
"This  plant  appears  to  have  a 
system  that  may  help  us  to 
understand  how  hormones 
work  in  all  plants." 

Dr.  Ron  Carter  was  invited  to 
speak  this  summer,  for  the 
third  consecutive  year,  at  the 
Biblical  Research  Institute's 
and  the  Geo-Science  Research 
Institute's  annual  joint  meet- 
ing.   The    Biblical    Research 


institute,  founded  in  1952,  is  a 
committee  of  experienced  men 
of  varied  qualifications  that 
are  appointed  by  the  General 
Conference  of  Seventh-day 
Adventists  to  study  any  Bible- 
related  issues  that  they  feel 
are  important.  The  Geo- 
Science  Research  Institute 
was  formed  by  the  General 
Conference  in  the  late  1950's 
to  keep  the  Biblical  Research 
Institute  aware  of  the  increas- 
ing number  of  scientific  issues 
that  could  threaten  the  Bible. 
Dr.  Carter's  presentation 
was  on  a  concept  of  biological 
determinism,  which  is  based 
on  a  new  evolutional  theory, 
so-  .-biology,  that  he  feels  "is 
tooing  to  captivate  the  minds  of 
many  philosophers."  Socio- 
biology,  a  systematic  study  of 
the  biological  basis  of  all  social 
behaviour,  will  supposedly 
help  answer  some  of  the 
questions  philosophers  have 
been  asking  for  years.     Why 


does  man  perform  certain 
selfless  or  altruistic  actions? 
Is  man  free  or  unfree?  Does 
man  make  his  own  destiny  or 
is  he  pre-destined? 
Since  Darwin's  theory  of 
evolution  and  survival  of  the 
fittest  originated,  evolution- 
ists have  had  a  difficult  time 
explaining  one  of  its  main 
weaknesses,  altruism.  If  there 
was  to  be  survival  of  the 
fittest,  why  were  some  ani- 
mals willing  to  act  to  their  own 
detriment  for  the  good  of  the 
population  or  species?  Scient- 
ists have  now  supposedly 
found  the  answer.  It  isn't 
survival  of  the  fittest  individ- 
ual or  group,  but  survival  of 
the  fittest  gene,  a  concept  now 
called  kin  selection.  "This," 
explained  Dr.  Cater,  "says 
that  the  body  is  nothing  more 
than  the  genes  way  of  getting 
from  one  generation  to  anoth- 
er." So,  any  act  that  is 
apparently  done  by  an  animal 


! 
out  of  love  or  selflessness  is 
actually  done  for  i  selfish 
reasons.  When  applied  to 
man,  this  theory  tries'  to  blow 
away  the  argument  i  against 
evolution  that  man  is  unique 
in  his  culture  from  other 
animals  by  his  moral  actions 
because  his  loving  acts  are 
also  selfishly  based. 

Many  scientists  are  readily 
accepting  this  new  idea,  and  it 
is  expected  that  it  will  be  a 
serious  challenee  to  creation 
and  religion  as  a  whole.  "We 
need  to  raise  the  conscious- 
ness and  awareness  level  of 
the  church  at  large  to;  realize 
that  new  and  subtle  chal- 
lenges are  coming  to  theolo- 
gy," stated  Dr.  Carter.  "The 
church  needs  to  dolresearch  in 
sociobiology  so  that  it  may 
learn  the  challenges  socio- 
biology brings  and  to  what 
extent  scientific  data  supports, 
this  new  theory."

If  there's  one  thing .._.... 

business  students  have  always 
needed,  this  is  it:  an  affordable, 
business-oriented  calculator. 
The  Student  Business  Analyst. 
Its  built-in  business  formulas 
let  you  perform  complicated

statistical  functions- the  ones 
that  usually  require  a  lot  of 
time  and  a  stack  of  reference 
books,  like  present  and  future

takes  the  place  of  many. 
The  calculator  is  just  part 


of  the  package.  You  also  get 
a  book  that  follows  most 
business  courses:  the  Business

Southern  College,     Collegedale,   Tenne: 


Knittel  asks  for  one 
year  sabbatical 


by  Maureen  Mayden 

Dr.  Frank  Knittel,  Presi- 
dent of  Southern  College  for 
the  past  11  years,  has  asked 
the  Board  of  Trustees  for  a 
sabbatical,  effective  June  1, 
1983.  Knittel,  who  has  given 
over  30  years  of  his  life  to 
administrative  work  in  the 
denomination,  feels  that  he 
deserves  this  year  away  from 
the  pressures  of  work.  It 
would  also  be  a  good  way  to 
get  back  into  teaching,  his 
first  love. 

"For  the  last  two  or  three 
years,  I  have  been  thinking 
about  taking  a  sabbatical,  and 
last  spring,  my  wife  and  I 
decided  that  this  would  be  the 
year,"  Knittel  said. 

Dr.  Knitte!  stated  that  the 
Board  was  supporting  him  in 
his  request  for  a  sabbatical 
with   the   understanding   that 


no  strings  were  attached  on 
either  side. 

However,  there  are  a  few 
faculty  members  who  dis- 
agree. At  the  last  faculty 
meeting,  Mr.  Bob  Garren, 
Professor  of  Art,  stated,  "Be- 
cause of  the  current  unrest  on 
the  Southern  College  campus, 
a  change  in  top  leadership  at 
this  time  seems  academically 
unwise.  Therefore,      the 

Southern  College  faculty  and 
staff  members  request  that 
the  Southern  College  Board 
withdraw  Dr.  Frank  Knittel's 
sabbatical  request  for  the 
1983-84  school  year,  and  that 
he  continue  as  president  of 
this  college  so  that  he  may 
continue  to  give  us  the  strong 
leadership  that  he  has  in  the

Picnic    takes  off

Red  Clay  State  Park  hosted 
crowds  of  SC  students  who 
attended  the  SA  Fall  Picnic. 
Originally  scheduled  for  Sep- 
tember 27  but  postponed  due 


forecasted 

s  held  on  Sunday.  October  3 
is  favored  with  beautifi " 

Buses,  as  well  as  cars,  prov; 


ded  transportation  to  the  park 
where  students  participated  in 
planned  activities  and  games 
such  as  the  stick  relay,  the 
balloon  toss,  couples  kickball. 
and  the  drink-guzzling  con- 
test. Chip  Cannon  took  first 
place  in  the  pie-eating  contest, 
devouring  a  chocolate  cream 
pie  in  less  than  one  and 
one-half  minutes. 

The  main  attraction  of  the 
day  was  a  hot  air  balloon  for 
an  hour  and  a  half  during  the 
afternoon.  Rides  were  avail- 
able for  the  price  of  one  dollar. 

Supper  was  catered  by  the 
cafeteria  and  consisted  of 
vegeburgers,  baked  beans, 
macaroni,  apple  pie  and  ice 
cream.  During  the  meal, 
entertainment  was  provided  in 
the  amphitheater  by  the  White 
Oak  Mountain  Boys  who  sang 
"Foggy  Mountain  Break- 
down." "Rocky  Top,"  and 
other  bluegrass  favorites.  For 
a  change  of  pace,  Bill  Young 
took  the  microphone  and  sang 
a  few  selections  such  as  "If." 
and  "Leavin'  On  a  Jet  Plane." 

The  concert  lasted  about  an 

hour    and    a    half    and    was 

o^nhp"^     attended  by  both  SC  students 


and  participants  in  the  Chero- 
kee Art  Festival,  which  was 
also  taking  place  in  the  park. 


October  7.  1982 


pressed  their  concern  for  what 
may  happen  when  Knittel 
leaves.  Still  others  supported 
him  in  his  decision. 

Knittel  feels  that  the  factions 
that  are  trying  to  insist  that  he 
stay  are  overstepping  the 
boundaries  into  a  personal 
decision.  "It  is  a  personal 
decision  of  mine,  and  I  do  not 
think  that  the  faculty  should 
have  a  say  in  whether  or  not 
the  Board  should  accept  my 
request." 

Knittel  thinks  that  admini- 
stration should  be  left  up  to 
younger  administrators.  "I 
just  had  my  55th  birthday 
yesterday,  and  I  think  it's  time 
to  step  down.  -  Theie  are 
plenty  of  younger  people  that 
can  better  handle  the  burdens 
of  administration." 


Byers  blasts  Bouquard 


by  Stephen  Morris 

"Quite  frankly,  I  think  Mrs. 
Bouquard  is  inept  in  the  office 
and  she's  continued  to  hide 
that  from  the  people,"  stated 
Dr.  Glen  Byers,  Republican 
candidate  for  the  Third  Con- 
gressional District,  during  his 
brief  visit  to  Collegedale 
Tuesday  morning. 

Dr.  Byers,  a  practicing  physi- 
cian from  Cleveland,  is  chal- 
lenging incumbant  Marilyn 
Bouquard  for  the  position  of 
US  Representative  from  the 
Third  District  which  includes 
Hamilton  County. 

"Political  office  should  not 
be  given  to  somebody  as  if  it 
were  some  kind  of  award  or 
honor  or  certificate,"  Byers 
said  referring  to  the  cam- 
paign. "I'm  not  interested  in 
a  nice  person  serving  as  my 


representative  in  the  Con- 
gress, but  somebody  intelli- 
gent enough  to  understand 
problems  and  enough  common 
sense  to  find  solutions." 

Along  with  the  economy  and 
the  impending  bankruptcy  of 
the  Social  Security  system, 
Byers  cited  Mrs.  Bouquard's 
refusal  to  debate  and  her 
unavailability  to  the  people  of 
the  district  as  a  major  issue  in 
the  campaign. 

"Anybody  who  serves  in  this 
office  who  cannot  debate  a 
challenger  certainly  cannot 
debate  on  the  floor  of  the  US 
House  of  Representatives," 
declared  Byers. 

Following  his  meeting  with 
interested  residents  at  the 
College  Plaza,  Byers  spoke 
briefly  to  SC  students  during 
chapel.

Beginnings 


According  to  a  recent  poll,  newspapers  are  the  least  trusted 
of  all  the  media.  Only  16  percent  said  they  be leved  what 
they  read  in  the  newspapers.  In  the  Collegedale  area  the 
media  has  a  credibility  problem.  Certain  pubucatoas  have 
slanted  the  facts,  tainted  the  truth,  and  printed  outright  lies. 
However,  they  have  mixed  in  just  enough  truth  to  give 
credibility  to  their  accusations  and  stones. 

So  where  does  all  this  leave  the  Southern  Accent?  Wll 
Southern  College's  student  newspaper  become  a  radical 
publication,  printing  harsh,  cutting  statements  about  people 
in  authority  and  questioning  the  basic  doctrines  ot  the 
church?  Or  will  the  Accent  become  a  public  relations  tool  ot 
the  college,  printing  only  "good"  news  and  side-stepping 
the  issues  of  today?  Hopefully  neither. 

The  staff  of  the  Southern  Accent  have  one  mam  goal--to 
relay  the  unslanted  facts  to  the  student  body  of  Southern 
College.  We  will  not  attempt  to  make  your  decisions  for  you. 

Rather,  we  will  supply  the  news  to  assist  you  in  the  important 

decisions  in  the  future. 
Keeping  the  Accent's  goal  in  mind,  we  also  have  a  second 

goal  in  mind--to  entertain  you.     Through  our  "Southern 

Cynic"  column  and  other  columns  and  features  we  want  to 

keep  you  up  to  date  on  the  lighter  side  of  college  life. 
This  will  not  all  be  easy.  To  meet  these  goals  will  mean  lots 

of  hard  work.  But  the  students  need  to  be  able  to  trust  their 

paper  and  be  pleased  with  the  outcome. 
Here's  your  part.    To  help  maintain  a  r 

reliable,  relevant,  and  interesting,  you  ca

mistakes,  but  we  will  be  willing  to  correct  our  errors. 
The  Southern  Accent  has  great  potential.    With  hard  work 

and  effort,  we  can  achieve  our  goal  of  excellence.

Dear  Editor, 
In  writing  this  article  I  do  not 
intend  to  belittle  or  criticize 
our  college's  deans  or  admin- 
istration; rather,  I  wish  to 
relate  to  them  a  mounting 
concern  and  frustration  which 
is  manifesting  itself  among 
the  student  body.  While  I  do 
believe  it  is  the  responsibility 
of  the  administration  to 
designate  a  code  of  conduct 
and  to  enforce  it,  I  do  not 
believe  in  "rules  for  the  sake 
of  having  rules."  In  the 
process  of  protecting  our 
student  body  from  both  the 
unchristian  influences  out  in 
"The  World"  and  from 
themselves,  it  would  seem 
that  the  '  'rules' '  are  becoming 
capricious.  In  an  effort  to 
curtail  indiscriminate  displays 
of  public  "passion,"  the 
administration's  policies  are 
regressing  to  a  position  par- 
allel to  those  "strictly  en- 
forced' '  in  our  denomina- 
tion's academiesl 

While  there  do  exist  irre- 
sponsible couples  on  our 
campus,  most  are  considerate 
of  both  possible  onlookers  and 
their  own  privacy.  I  fear  that 
by  the  strict  enforcement  of 
"No  PDA,"  the  administra- 
tion is  only  making  matters 
worse.  In  accordance  with 
Newton's  Law  "for  every 
action  there  is  an  equal  and 
opposite  reaction,"  we  might 
be  faced  with  more  than  just  a 
public  display  of  affection! 
Human  nature  will  always 
dictate  rebellion  when  faced 
with      suppression.  For 

example,  a  young  man  (a 
student)  walked  his  girlfriend 
to  work  in  Wright  Hall  and,  as 
he  said  good  bye,  kissed  her 
on  her  cheek.  As  the  students 


were  parting  a  faculty  member 
promptly,       in       a       harsh, 
commanding      tone,      repri- 
manded the   young   woman, 
telling  her  how  disrespectful 
was    the    act    she    has    just 
witnessed. 
Does  a  simple,  innocent  good 
bye  kiss  constitute  offensive 
PDA?     What  will  be  next? 
Will  it  be  wrong  to  hold  hands 
or  sit  next  to  a  member  of  the 
opposite  sex  in  the  cafeteria  or 
at  chapel?    While  these  may 
be  extreme  positions,  it  is  also 
ridiculous  to  expect  collegiates 
to  act  like  pre-academy  stu- 
dents! We  have  emotions  that 
are  as  real,  mature  and  Chris- 
tian as  any  member  of  the 
faculty. 
If     it     appears      that      I'm 
attempting  to  judge  our  school 
by  "worldly"  standards,  I  am. 
For  it  should  be  pointed  out 
that  we  live  in  this  world  and 
are  creatures  of  it.    We  have 
human  passions  and  desires, 
but  as  Seventh-day  Adventists 
we    see    and    react    to    them 
through  the  Word  of  God.    If 
God  had  not  intended  youth 
to  experience  Love,  it  would 
seem  He  would  have  limited 
our  capacity   to   comprehend 
what    the    apostle    Paul    was 
expressing  in  I  Corinthians  13. 
Now    would   we    be    able    to 
distinguish  between  our  love- 
reactions    with    our    parents, 
pets,     teachers,     friends     or 
Jesus  Himself.     While  there 
are    students    in    attendance 
here  on  campus  who  may  not 
have    reached    the    level    of 
understanding     it     takes     to 
become  committed  for  a  life- 
time   relationship;    neverthe- 
less,  they   are   gaining    both 
insight  and  appreciation  from 
their  existing    love   relation- 


ship. Out  of  which  will 
blossom  a  deeper  and  more 
complex  comprehension  of 
what  love  can  truly  be. 
What  I'm  trying  to  express  is 
a  wish  for  the  faculty  and  staff 
to  be  more  considerate  of 
those  students  whose  possible 
maturity  is  being  trampled. 
There  is  also  a  need  for  the 
student  body  to  improve  on  its 
discretion  concerning  "Public 
Passion"  versus  "Public 
Affection."  One  last  word  of 
warning:  the  more  strictly  a 
rule  is  enforced,  the  more 
eager  and  determined  the 
oppressed  will  be  to  overrule 
that  law.  In  all  sincerity  we 
ask,  are  you  emulating  the 
Pharisees  by  attempting  to 
enforce  an  unkeepable  and 
unfair  law? 

Sincerely,

Competition-is  it  right? 


By  Steve  Jaecks 


Si 


YES 


Benefits  derived  from  a 
competitive  recreation  pro- 
gram can  far  outweigh  any 
negative  outcome  that  results 
from  competition. 

Whether  on  an  individual 
level  or  in  a  team  situation, 
competition  in  sports  can  rein- 
force attitudes  and  behaviors 
that  directly  transfer  over  to 
one's  everyday  life. 

There  are  many  business 
companies  who  look  for  work- 
ers who  have  been  involved  in 
some  type  of  athletic  compe- 
tition. Their  contention,  with 
which  this  author  agrees  is 
that  by  being  involved  in 
sports  competition  a  person 
can  and  has  learned  how  to 
cope  with  winning  and  losing. 


As  a  team  has  strived  for  a 
common  goal,  cooperation, 
adaptation  to  various  situa- 
tions and  loyalty  have  been 
established  and  reinforced.  A 
competitor  has  learned  that 
personal  satisfaction  as  well  as 
success  hinges  on  his  ability  to 
put  forth  his  best  effort. 
These  behaviors  so  necessary 
to  being  successful  in  athletic 
competition  are  then  also  seen 
as  those  characteristics  neces- 
sary to  be  successful  in  the 
business  world. 
Looking  at  competition  from 
another  perspective,  seems  to 
also  point  out  the  need  for  a 
competitive  sports  program. 
During  the  past  two  years 
there  have  been  well  over  2400 


participants  in  intramural 
programs  here  at  Southern 
College.  Why  have  so  many 
people  become  involved  in 
intramural  competition? 

There  are  many  possible 
answers  to  this  question. 

First,  it  is  fun  to  compete  and 
achieve  success.  Intramurals 
is  organized  in  such  a  way  that 
for  the  most  part,  the  partici- 
pant is  competing  with  people 
of  like  abilities.  This  allows 
for  success  to  be  achieved 
more  readily. 

Second,  intramural  competi- 
tion provides  a  needed  di- 
version from  one's  daily 
activity.  Many  individuals 
need  this  diversion  in  the  form 
of  structured  competition. 


Third,  competition  provides  a 
way  for  a  person  to  have  some 
type  of  physical  exercise. 
Many  times  competitive  ath- 
letics is  the  only  form  of 
exercise  a  student  takes  time 
from  his  studies  to  participate 

Through  strong  positive  lead- 
ership, benefits  derived  from 
a  competitive  recreational 
program  can  far  outweigh  any 
negative  outcome  that  results 
from  competition.

By  Dick  Winn 

Perhaps  more  than  is  usually 
the  case,  I  wish  for  this 
column  to  provoke  serious, 
aggressive  thought.  I  want  to 
join  minds  with  you  as  a 
reader.  I  want  to  challenge 
you  to  read  these  seven  propo- 
sitions about  an  experience 
that  touches  all  our  lives. 
Then  I  want  you  to  wrestle 
with  them  until  you  can  either 
say  that  you  agree  with  them, 
or  you  know  exactly,  precisely, 
logically  why  you  disagree 
with  them.  I  doubt  that,  as  a 
church  or  as  individuals,  we 
can  afford  much  more  "non- 
think"  on  this  powerful  life 
experience. 

First,  a  functional  definition 
of  this  thing  called  competi- 
It  is  any  goal-oriented 

tuation  in  which  the  motiva- 
tor action  comes  from  an 
ego-centered  desire  to  exalt 
one's  self  above  another.  As 
such,  we  see  competition  not 
so  much  as  an  act  or  event,  but 
as  an  attitude  of  the  mind.  It 
is  one  method  for  questing 
after  self-worth  and  self- 
esteem. 

Among  the  many  things  that 
could  be  said,  I  would  like  to 
make  these  brief  assertions 
about  the  nature  and  effects  of 
competition  in  the  life  of  a 
Christian.  What  do  you  think 
of  them? 

1.  Competition  is  so  popular 
because  it  is  the  most  readily 


available  motivation.  Ask  any 
parent,  teacher,  pastor,  politi- 
cian, or  other  person  involved 
in  getting  people  to  do  some- 
thing, and  they  will  agree  that 
competition  gives  them  an 
instant  handle.  "Kids,  see 
who  can  be  the  first  to  clean 
up  your  room."  "The  first 
ones  to  get  their  Ingathering 
goals  will  receive  blue  rib- 
bons. "  " Pastors  baptizing 
the  most  persons  this  year  will 
have  their  names  published  on 
the  back  page  of  the  Journal." 
Almost  all  of  us  will  jump  at  a 
chance  to  have  our  egos 
stroked  by  being  thought  of  as 
smarter,  stronger,  faster, 
more  dedicated,  more  cap- 
able, than  someone  else.  All 
we  need  is  for  someone  to 
define  a  "win-lose"  situation, 
and  we're  off  and  running  not 
to  be  the  loser.  Competition  is 
a  constant  revelation  of  our 
insecurity. 

2.  Competition  places  a  low 
value  on  human  worth.  It  tells 
me  that  I  can  use  another 
person's  loss  for  my  gain.  It 
teaches  me  to  disregard  the 
hidden  anguish  of  the  one 
whose  losing  gives  substance 
to  my  winning.  It  leads  me  to 
conclude  that  my  worth  is 
based,  not  on  some  absolute 
accomplishment  of  my  own  in 
the  world  of  real  endeavor,  but 
rather  on  whether  I  have 
simply  bested  someone  else. 
And  when  a  person  can  no 
longer  compete,  we  put  him 
on  the  shelf.  Could  this  be 
why  our  society  tends  to 
'  'warehouse"  the  elderly, 
since    they    are    no    longer 


3.  Competition  teaches  con- 
formity rather  than  individual- 
ity. Since  the  initial  motiva- 
tion for  the  act  comes  from  the 
quest  for  the  crowd's  approv- 
al, one  dares  not  do  that  which 
the  crowd  will  disapprove. 
The  individualist,  by  contrast, 
does  not  float  with  the  crowd. 
Possessing  a  strong  inner 
sense  of  self-worth,  he  neither 
plays  to  the  audience,  nor 
spums  those  who  do  not  fit  his 
mold.  But  competition  is  an 
organized  system  of  passing 
out  applause  or  rejection  for 
behaviors  which  either  con- 
form or  fail  to  conform  to  the 
values  of  the  crowd. 

4.  Competition  reinforces  the 
philosophy  of  evolution  rather 
than  of  creation.  It  is  an 
outgrowth  of  the  philosophy 
that  says  we  got  here  by  the 
process  of  the  survival  of  the 
fittest.  It  says  that  since  there 
.is  no  meaningful  destiny 
beyond  this  life,  I  must  grab 
all  I  can  get  this  time  around, 
and  that  the  only  rewards  I 
will  enjoy  are  those  that  come 
by  being  tougher,  faster, 
smarter,  in  this  life.  Coopera- 
tion, on  the  other  hand,  is  the 
outgrowth  of  a  philosophy  that 
sees  helping,  caring  human 
relationships    as   directly   re- 

,  lated  to  our  ultimate  destiny. 

5.  Competition  is  alien  to  the 
spirit  of  servanthood  which 
Jesus  advocated.  Jesus  fre- 
quently commented  on  the 
spirit  of  striving  against  others 
which  characterized  the 
society  around  Him.  And  His 
appraisal  was  always  the 
same-      "It  shall  not   be  so 


among  you."  (Matthew  20:25- 
27;  23:1-11.)  By  contrast, 
Jesus  wanted  His  friends  to  be 
moved  by  the  same  spirit 
which  had  prompted  Him  to 
humbly  step  down  from  the 
exalted  throne,  and  to  go  on 
such  a  costly  errand  of  ser- 
vanthood to  save  us.  We  are 
constantly  faced  with  two 
polar  opposites  in  our  rela- 
tionships with  others-either 
to  meet  out  own  needs,  or  the 
needs  of  the  other  person. 
Servanthood  says,  "Jesus  has 
already  met  my  needs;  let  me 
help  meet  yours."  Competi- 
tion  says,    "I've  got  to   get 

6.  Competition  is  not  neces- 
sary for  the  Christian.  He  has 
found  something  so  much 
higher  to  motivate  his  life.  It's 
called  love.  All  that  needs  to 
be  done,  love  is  .an  ample 
motive  to  do.  If  love  doesn't 
motivate  it,  it  doesn't  need,  to 
be  done.  To  try  to  entice  a 
mature  Christian  into  an 
action  by  the  offer  of  compete 
tive  reward  would  be  to  offer 
him  a  painful  insult. 

7.  Competition  cannot  be 
used  to  build  the  kingdom  of 
Christ.  There  is  no  natural, 
harmonious  place  for  competi- 
tion in  the  life  of  the  church,  or 
of  the  individual  Christian. 
For  the  kingdom  of  Christ  is 
not  buildings,  finances,  or 
even  activities,  but  a  spirit  in 
the  hearts  of  people  who  have 
been  made  secure  in  the  love 
of  their  Lord,  and  who  need  no 
cheap  human  conquests  to 
supplement  the  power  of  that 
great,  healing  gift.

Knittel  celebrates  fifty-fifth 


Frank  Knittel  celebrated  his 
fifty-fifth  birthday  on  Septem- 
ber 30  with  students  of 
Southern  College. 

After  Dr.  Knittel's  chapel 
talk  to  the  SEA,  Melvin 
Campbell  and  Jeanette 
Stepanske  escorted  him  to  the 
cafeteria  on  false  premises. 

Upon  his  arrival,  "the  white 
carpet"  was  rolled  out  by 
Tricia  Smith  and  Malinda 
McKee  down  the  middle  aisle 
of  the  cafeteria.  As  he 
proceeded  down  the  aisle  to 
the  heralding  of  the  brass 
quartet,  students  and  faculty 
arose  in  tribute  to  his  years  of 


service. 

Knittel  was  greeted  at  the 
platform  by  his  wife  Helen  and 
daughter  Sherry.  Balloons 
were  released  as  Frank  Roman 
-led  the  crowd  in  "Happy 
Birthday,"  with  the  accom- 
paniment of  the  brass  quartet. 

Frank  Roman  then  gave  an 
analogy  of  "This  is  Your  Life, 
Frank     Knittel."  During 

Knittel's  response  to  this,  a 
large  birthday  cake  was 
brought  forward  with  the  tra- 
ditional candles. 

Student  Association  Presi- 
dent, Alvin  Franklin, 
presented  Dr.  Knittel  with  a 


gift  from  the  students.  After 
some  difficulty  in  opening  the 
package,  Knittel  found  the  gift 
to  be  a  cordless  telephone. 
Celebrating  Knittel's  birth- 
day has  always  been  a  tradi- 
tion at  Southern  College,  but  it 
has  not  always  been  cele- 
brated by  the  entire  student 
body.  In  past  years,  personal 
jokes  have  been  played  on 
Knittel,  such  as  filling  .  his 
office  with  balloons  and  paper, 
or  hanging  in  front  of  Wright 
Hall  a  banner  saying,  "Happy 
Birthday,  Frankie  Baby!" 


Southern  College   Fall  Retreat  Scheduled 


by  Catherine  Llnrud 
The  Chaplain's  office  has 
been  hard  at  work  planning 
the  fall  Bible  Conference.  The 
Southern  College  Fall  Retreat, 
as  it  is  being  called,  has  been 
slated  for  October  14-17  at 
Cohutta  Springs  Camp. 

Campus  Chaplain,  Jim  Her- 
man, who  is  responsible  for 
the  Retreat,  says,  "It  will  be  a 
mixture  of  inspirational  and 
recreational  activities.  A 
variety  of  special  speakers  will 
present  the  inspirational  part 
of  the  program  while  students 
will  be  in  charge  of  the 
recreational  activities." 
The  featured  speaker  will  be 
Elder  Philip  Samaan.  Samaan 
graduated  from  Portland 
Adventist  Academy  and  Walla 
Walla  College.     He  received 


his  Masters  degrees  in  Divin- 
ity and  Public  Health  from 
Andrews  University  and  Loma 
Linda  University,  and  is  now 
pursuing  a  doctorate  degree  in 
ministry.  He  pastored  in  the 
Idaho  Conference  for  three 
years  before  accepting  a  call  to 
the  North  Pacific  Union  Con- 
ference as  Director  of  Out- 
reach and  Campus  Ministries. 

Pastor  Samaan  enjoys  spend- 
ing the  most  of  his  time  in  the 
field,  involved  in  youth  out- 
reach on  the  nine  academy 
campuses,  at  Walla  Walla 
College  and  public  university 
campuses  and  with  other 
church  youth. 

The  other  speakers  involved 
in  the  Retreat  include  Georgia 
Cumberland  Conference 


Youth  Director  Lewis  Hender- 
shot,  Andy  McDonald,  pastor 
of  the  Cohutta  church,  and  Dr. 
Frank  Knittel. 

The  activities  that  have  been 
planned  include  group  games, 
volleyball;  basketball,  hiking, 
and  water  skiing. 

Jan  Rice,  the  Chaplain's 
secretary  noted,  "the  trans- 
portation and  lodging  will  be 
free  so  the  only  expense  will 
be  for  the  food,  and  that  can 
be  charged  on  their  bill.  I 
think  this  Retreat  will  give  us 
a  good  chance  to  get  away 
from  it  all,  have  a  real  break, 
and  a  good  time  together." 

Anyone  interested  in  attend- 
ing the  Fall  Retreat  should 
sign  up  at  the  Chaplain's 
office.

The  Hair  Designers  Presents 

THE     MANE     ATTRACTION 
(A  Hairstyle  Show) 


Sunday,  October  10  at  7  p.m. 
in  Thatcher  Hall  chapel.  The 
public  is  invited  -  no  admis- 
sion charge. 


Dr.  Rex  Edwards  of  the 
General  Conference  Minister- 
ial Department  was  the  fea- 
tured speaker  at  the  Student 
Ministerial  Association 

sponsored  Fall  Religion  Re- 
treat held  at  the  Kiwanis 
Camp  last  weekend. 

Approximately  100  theology 
and  religion  majors  attended 
the  meetings  which  began 
Friday  evening  and  continued 
throughout  the  Sabbath. 
Among  the  topics  of  interest 
addressed  by  Dr.  Edwards 
was   the    concept   of    "every 


believer  a  minister"  in  con- 
trast to  a  rigid  distinction 
between  clergy  and  laity. 
The  Sabbath  School  lesson 
was  taught  in  turn  by  repre- 
sentatives from  the  five  con- 
ferences in  the  Southern 
Union.  Later  in  the  afternoon, 
conference  officials  including 
Union  Ministerial  Secretary 
Harold  Metcalf,  told  what  they 
looked  for  in  prospective 
ministers  and  fielded  ques- 
tions from  the  ministerial  stu- 
dents.

An  excellent  turnout  was  on 
hand  to  witness  the  all-night 
slowpitch  softball  tournament 
held  on  Saturday  night  Sep- 
tember 25.  The  tournament 
was  a  double  elimination  for- 
mat which  was  played  straight 
through  until  a  winner  re- 
sulted 

Jerry  Russell's  and  Kent 
Greve's  teams,  both  having 
8-0  records  in  the  regular 
season,  were  seeded  to  meet 
each  other  in  the  finals,  which, 
as  most  expected,  was  what 
happened.  [  Russell  went 
through  the  winners  bracket 
undefeated.       Greve,    losing 


The  final  fastpitch  games  of 
the  season  were  played  on 
Saturday  night,  October  2, 
with  the  annual  dorm  tourna- 
ment sponsored  by  the  Talge 
Hall  Men's  Club.  The  tourn- 
ey consisted  of  four  teams: 
t,  second,  and  third  floors 
of  Talge,  and  a  village  team 
with  Tim  Beaulieu,  Jim  Dob- 
son.  Don  Duff,  and  Brad 
Durby  heading  up  the  four 
squads  respectively.  The 
tournament  started  at  8:00 
p.m.  with  first  playing  second 
and  third  playing  village  with 
the  winners  scheduled  to  1 
for  the  championship. 

The  game  between  first 
second  was  a  tight  coi 
with  second  floor  scoring  one 
run  in  the  top  of  the  firsl 
inning,  and  holding  a  1-0  lead 
through  three  innings.  How- 
ever,   in   the    bottom    of   the 


only  to  Russell,  won  the  rest  of 
his  games  en  route  to  finals, 
including  a  dramatic  come 
from  behind  10-9  victory  over 
Moore.  Greve,  losing  9-1  in 
the  bottom  of  the  seventh, 
scored  nine  runs,  the  last  five 
with  two  outs  to  win  the 
contest.  The  final  blow  was  a 
three-run  homer  by  Jim 
Hakes. 

The  final  game  between 
Russell  and  Greve  was  played 
at  6:00  Sunday  morning. 
Russell  needed  only  to  win  the 
game  to  clinch  the  champion- 
ship. Greve,  however,  needed 
to  win  the  game  to  set  up  a 


fourth,  first  floor  erupted  for 
four  runs.  Shortstop  Jerry 
Russell  led  off  with  a  home 
run  over  the  centerfield  fence. 
David  Botimer  then  followed 
with  a  single  to  left.  Then 
with  a  two-strike  count  Kelly 
Pettijohn  hit  another  home  run 
to  make  the  score  3-1.  John 
Grys  scored  another  run  in  the 
inning  and  also  made  an 
unassisted  double  play  at  third 
base  to  end  a  second  floor 
scoring  threat,  making  the 
final  score  5-1  in  favor  of  first 

The  game  between  third  floor 
and  the  heavily  favored  village 
team  was  a  complete  surprise. 
Fred  Roscher  banged  a 
three-run  homer  for  third  floor 
to  account  for  all  their  scoring. 
Village  just  could  not  get  it 
going,  managing  only  two 
throughout    the    game 


deciding  game  to  be  played  at 
7:00  p.m.  Russell  made  sure 
that  the  contest  was  not 
delayed  any  longer  with  a  5-4 
victory.  Captain  Russell  gave 
credit  to  fine  defensive  plays 
by  Brad  Durby  and  Jon 
Scheffel  as  the  keys  to  victory. 
Durby  and  Greg  Culpepper 
each  hit  about  four  home  runs 
throughout  the  night  to  lead 
Russell  to  victory. 
A  big  thank-you  is  in  order  to 
the  SC  students  for  their 
cheers  and  support  through- 
out the  night's  activities.  The 
evening  could  definitely  be 
termed  a  s 


including  a  steal  of  home  by 
Ron  Barrow.  The  ended,  on  a 
controversial  play.  Kevin 
Cummings'  bunt  was  caught 
in  the  air  by  the  third  floor 
pitcher,  who  tried  to  throw  to 
first  to  force  out  Jim  Hakes, 
but  threw  wildly  into  right 
field.  Hakes  attempted  to 
round  the  bases  and  score  the 
tying  run,  but  he  was  thrown 
out  at  home  plate  to  end  the 
game  at  3-2  in  favor  of  third. 
The  championship  game  was 
called  due  to  a  forfeit  by  third 
floor  because  of  lack  of  play- 
ers. This  was  unfortunate 
because  a  good  contest  was 
certain  to  have  taken  place. 
Softball  season  is  now  over, 
ending  on  a  good  note,  so  get 
ready  for  the  football  season 
ahead.

Pastor  Gordon  Bietz 


The  new  pastor  preached  on 
repentance  the  first  Sabbath 
in  his  new  church.  Everyone 
raved  about  his  sermon  and  all 
were  pleased  with  their  new 
pastor.  The  second  Sabbath 
he  preached  on  repentance 
again.  It  was  a  good  sermon 
but  the  church  members  were 
not  sure  it  was  that  good. 
They  let  it  pass  for  that 
Sabbath  but  when  he 
preached  it  again  the  third 
Sabbath  in  a  row,  some  of  the 
members  of  the  board  went  to 
him  and  said,"We  enjoyed  the 
sermon  on  repentance  the  first 
time  and  it  was  o.k.  even  the 
second  time,  but  three  times 
for  the  same  sermon?  When 
are  you  going  to  preach  about 
something      else?"  The 

preacher  replied  with  a 
question  of  his  own,  "When 
are  you  going  to  repent?" 
Sometimes  certain  stories 
need  repeating,  and  so  it  is 
with  the  following. 
Once  upon  a  time  in  Fenton 
Forest  there  was  a  lovely 
bluebird  that  enjoyed  life  to 
the  full.  She  fluttered  and 
flew  from  tree  to  tree  and  from 
bush  to  bush  enjoying  the  sun, 
rain,  and  the  sheer  pleasure  of 
flight.  In  fact,  if  there  was 
ever  a  bird  that  enjoyed  life,  it 
was  Bright  Bluebird.  Bright 
was  not  her  original  name,  but 
she  was  given  that  name  by 
the  animals  of  the  forest 
because  of  her  cheery  outlook 
on  life.  She  enjoyed  flying 
into  the  deep  blue  sky   and 


letting  the  sun  shine  on  her 
fluttering  feathers  reflecting 
an  iridescent  blue  which 
blended  with  the  blue  sky. 
Bright  had  many  friends  be- 
cause of  her  lust  for  life  and 
she  enjoyed  them  all;  in  fact, 
her  natural  enemies,  like  Cur- 
tains the  cat,  even  seemed  to 
enjoy  her  distant  company. 
When  she  was  around,  the  day 
was  bright  and  the  air  tingled 
with  the  crisp  anticipation  of 
life. 
Bright  was  a  sensitive  bird 
and  was  always  hurt  person- 
ally when  any  little  tragedy 
happened  in  Fenton  Forest 
where  she  made  her  home. 
One  day  as  Bright  was  silently 
winging  her  way  over  a  forest 
path,  she  heard  her  name 
mentioned  and  like  any 
curious  person  would,  she 
silently  swooped  to  a  tree  limb 
and  picked  up  her  ears  to  hear 
what  was  being  said.  It  was 
Ears  Rabbit  and  jealous  Randy 
Raccoon  talking  together 
about  Bright.  Randy  said,  "It 
just  makes  me  sick  how  Bright 
is  always  flying  around  here 
like  every  day  was  her  birth- 
day. I  get  tired  of  this 
eternally  happy  chirp,  chirp, 
chirp."  Randy  imitated  the 
song  that  Bright  always  sang 
as  she  flew  over  the  forest.  "I 
wish  she  would  stop  all  this 
happiness  routine  and   mind 

"I  know  what  you  mean," 
replied  Ears  Rabbit.  "I  would 
like  to  know  if  she  knows  how 


sick  everybody  is  getting  of 
her  cheery  routine." 
Curtains  the  cat  overheard 
this  conversation  and  for  a 
long  time  he  had  been  eyeing 
the  new  nest  where  little  birds 
would  soon  be  hatched,  and  he 
was  happy  to  hear  these 
complaints,  because  he  had 
been  afraid  of  what  the  other 
animals  of  Fenton  Forest 
might  do  to  him  if  he  struck 
while  Bright  was  popular. 

Bright  flew  on  through  the 
forest  after  listening  to  this 
conversation,  but  she  did  not 
sing  her  happy  song  the  rest  of 
the  way  back  to  the  nest.  The 
day  didn't  seem  half  so  bright 
and  the  air  was  not  quite  as 
crisp,  and  there  was  a  kind  of 
heavy  feeling  in  her  heart. 
She  warmed  her  eggs  briefly 
and  then  flew  out  to  get  some 
food,  but  she  was  preoccupied 
and  she  couldn't  find  any- 
thing. She  flew  lower  over  the 
field  -  her  wings  a  little  bit 
droopy  -  it  seemed  that  her 
heart  was  heavy  and  weighing 
her  down  in  flight.  Her  mind 
was  whirling  -  "Am  I  stupid 
for  being  so  happy?  Do  the 
other  animals  in  the  forest 
think  I'm  a  dumb  scatterbrain 
who  doesn't  know  what  life  is 
all  about?"  As  she  flew  low 
over  the  marsh  she  saw  a  lot  of 
birds  chatting  on  the  old  dead 
tree  that  stood  by  the  marsh. 
She  normally  would  have 
joined  them,  but  now—she 
thought  that  they  were  talking 
about  her,  in  fact  she  was  sure 


they  were,  and  so  she  flew  on, 
ignoring  them. 

Soon  the  animals  began  to 
notice  that  Bright  was  not  so 
cheery  anymore  and  they 
began  to  really  talk  about  her 
and  the  more  they  talked,  the 
more  she  avoided  them  and 
the  more  she  avoided  them  the 
more  they  talked,  and  soon 
Bright  began  to  overhear 
many  conversations  about  her. 
"What  is  wrong  with  Bright? 
How  come  she  is  so  strange 
lately?  Her  poor  children  that 
have  grow  up  in  her  nest." 

Bright  was  losing  sleep  and 
weight.  She  couldn*t  get  the 
food  she  used  to  get,  because 
her  mind  was  on  other  things. 
She  was  hardly  able  to  keep  up 
enought  heat  to  warm  her 
eggs,  and  in  fact  she  was 
spending  less  time  on  her 
eggs  and  they  were  dying 
from  lack  of  care.  Everybody 
was  talking  about  her  in 
Fenton  Forest. 

Bright's  wings  were  not  as 
brilliant  as  they  used  to  be. 
She  wasn't  caring  for  herself 
like  she  had  been.  She  no 
longer  flew  high  over  the 
forest  in  the  sun  but  she  would 
dart  in  and  out  among  the 
trees  staying  away  from  others 
and  staying  in  the  dark.  Soon 
her  natural  enemies  got  the 
courage  to  do  what  they  had 
previously  been  prevented 
from  doing  by  popular  opin- 
ion. Bright  became  afraid  of 
every  shadow  and  every  noise. 

Even  though  she  was  uncom- 


fortable flying  in  the  dark  part 
of  the  forest,  she  thought  that 
she  would  not  be  seen  as  much 
there. 

One  day  after  having  not 
eaten  anything  for  some  time, 
she  was  weakly  flying  home 
between  some  trees  when  a 
loud  noise  startled  her.  Not 
being  used  to  the  dark  part  of 
the  forest,  she  quickly  turned 
from  the  noise  and  in  a  second 
was  going  full  speed 
different  direction  only  to  I 
collide  with  a  tree  and  fall  to 
her  death  on  the  forest  floor. 

There  she  lay  unnoticed  for  a 
time  until  Ears  Rabbit  and 
Randy  Raccoon  happened  by  I 
there  one  day  and  found  a  few 
faded  blue  feathers  where  j 
Bright  had  fallen. 

"Too    bad    about    Bright," 
said  Ears. 

"Yes,"  said  Randy,  "she  I 
seemed  to  lose  her  lust  for  | 
life." 

"I  wonder  why,"  Ears  said. 

"Yes,"  repeated  Randy,  "I 
wonder  why?" 

"We  think  with  horror  of  the  | 
cannibal   who  feasts   o: 
still-warm  and  trembling  flesh  | 
of    his    victim;    but    an

October  7,  1982/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/7 


fiouttie/m  Qmjc 


It's  here!  A  new  trend  is 
sweeping  the  campus  of  SC. 
This  one  beats  Valley  Girls, 
alligators  and  even  the  tradi- 
tion of  taking  all  your  dates  to 
Taco  Bell. 

It's  called  Editor  Trading,  or 
E.T.  for  short.  You  may  have 
heard  about  it  this  summer;  it 
even  made  Newsweek,  which 
was  impressive,  considering 
the  fad  just  started  a  few 
weeks  ago. 

It  really  began  when  AENO 
(Accent  Editor  Number  One) 
vacationed  for  a  short  period 
of  time.  Editor  Number  Two 
took  the  desk,  only  to  leave  it 
almost  as  soon  as  he  got  it. 


According  to  him,  he  "just 
couldn't  handle  editing  Victor 
Czerkasij's  column  twice  a 
month."  Understandable. 
Number  Two,  by  the  way,  is 
now  undergoing  remedial 
psychotherapy  and  hopes  to 
be  fully  recovered  by  May. 
Enter  Editor  Number  Three. 
By  this  time,  the  craze  had  hit 
full  force.  Posters  were  going 
up  and  speeches  were  deliver- 
ed every  hour  on  the  hour. 
Kids  from  Spaulding  began 
saying  "when  I  grow  up,  I 
want  to  run  for  editor  of  the 
Accent."  Candidates  for  the 
coveted  position  wore  non- 
fadeable    smiles    and    over- 


flowed with  syrup.  For  a 
week,  Accent  candidates  were 
the  only  individuals  on 
campus  who  likes  everybody. 
It  was  phenomenal. 

However,  the  exertion  and 
strain  from  the  race  has  taken 
its  toll  on  our  present  editor. 
He  announced  just  yesterday 
that  he  would  have  to  resign 
for  at  least  a  year  to  recuper- 
ate from  the  strain  of  getting 
himself  elected. 

So  in  desperation  our  SA 
president  is  taking  a  new 
approach  to  the  E.T.  trend. 
Starting  next  Monday, 
"Editor-of-the-Week"  will 
become  a  reality  at  SC.    All  of 


the  student's  names  will  be 
printed  up  on  slips  of  paper 
and  dumped  into  a  hat.  Every 
Sunday  at  noon,  the  editor 
from  the  previous  week  will 
make  a  guest  appearance  in 
the  cafeteria  to  draw  one  of 
the  names  from  the  hat.  The 
winner,  of  couse,  will  receive  a 
complimentary  issue  of  the 
Accent  and  a  bouquet  of 
black-and-white  roses. 
However,  lest  you  think  that 
just  anyone  can  be  editor,  let 
me  clarify  this.  There  are 
certain  stipulations  which  a 
person  has  to  meet  before  he 
takes  the  oath  of  office.  He 
has  to  have  at  least  a  third- 


iC&lSstftGcfe 


grade  education,  be  semi- 
literate,  have  taken  several 
public  relations  courses  and 
know  how  to  smile. 

Aside  from  these  require- 
ments, all  that  is  necessary  is 
a  valid  ID  card  at  SC.  I  know 
everyone  is  looking  forward  to 
the  upcoming  "Editor-of-the- 
Week"  plan,  and  I'm  sure  this 
installment  will  insure  a  new 
and  excitingly  different 
Southern  Accent  this  year. 

And — may  the  best  person 


Dear  Howard  Cosell: 
Maybe  somebody  forgot  to 
inform  you,  but  a  women's 
intramural  program  does 
exist  here  at  Southern 
college.  What  about  some 
"Time  Out"  for  the 
women's  league?  Two 
issues  have  been  published 
without  even  one  word 
mentioned  about  the  games 
on  the  other  side  of  campus. 
We  wouldn't  expect  you  to 
analyze  each  team,  but  it 
might  be  nice  to  see  the 
standings  once  in  a  while, 
I  after  all,   we   pay   for   this 

paper,  too. 
I  The  games  are  at  5:30 
I  p.m.,  but  if  you  have  too 
I  many  "other"  games  to 
I  analyze,  you  can  always  call 
I  the  gym  for  the  results.

Phone  system  plans  finalized 


I  The  familiar  clicking  of 
phones  when  all  the  lines  on 
:ampus  are  busy  will,  by  the 
niddle  of  February,  be  only  an 
[inpleasant  memory  for  the 
ulty  and  students  of  SC  if 
1  goes  as  expected  with  the 
Installation  of  a  new  phone 
System. 

I  The      Ooltewah-Collegedale 
elephone       Company       has 
Irdered  a  new  digital  switch- 
7hg    system    which    is    "the 
in     electronic     equip- 
according  to  Mr.  David 
^tkins,  administrative  coordi- 
r  of  the  company.     Call 
arding,       call       waiting, 
:-way    dialing,     and     an 
:ase  of  speed   in  dialing 
Ind   transferral    of   calls    are 
advantages   of  the   system. 
e  main  feature,  however,  is 
it    it    wilj    allow    for    "full 
th,"  which  means  that  half 
i  phones  on  campus,  which 


is  about  450,  will  be  able  to  be 
used  in  talking  with  the  other 
half.  This  is  a  big  improve- 
ment to  the  42  paths  that  are 
available  in  the  present 
college-owned  Centrex 

system.  Another  difference  is 
that  the  system  will  be  con- 
trolled from  the  newly  con- 
structed facility  in  Ooltewah, 
whereas  the  heart  of  the 
Centrex  system  is  at  the 
switchboard  in  Wright  Hall. 

It  is  not  presently  known  just 
to  what  extent  the  new  system 
will  assist  in  making  long- 
distance calls  and  calls  to 
Chattanooga  and  off  campus, 
but  it  is  expected  that  a  great 
improvement  will  be  noticed. 

When  the  switch  to  the  new 
system  takes  place,  new 
phone  numbers  will  be 
assigned  to  the  campus  with 
the  exchange  numbers  being 
changed   from  396   to   238. 


Because  of  its  large  size  and 
remoteness,  the  college  has 
been  chosen  to  be  the  first  in 
the  Collegedale-Ooltewah- 
Apison  area  in  what  will 
eventually  be  a  complete 
changeover  for  all  numbers 
beginning  with  396  or  236  to 
238.  Mr.  Ken  Spears,  Busi- 
ness Manager  for  SC,  had  the 
tedious  job  this  summer  of 
assigning  numbers  to  every 
phone  on  campus.  The 
phones  in  Thatcher  Hall,  as 
well  as  the  administration's 
and  faculty's  phones,  will 
have  the  numbers  2000-2999, 
while  the  numbers  in  Talge 
Hall  will  be  in  the  3000  range. 
The  numbers  have  been 
correlated  to  the  rooms  in  the 
dorms,  so  that,  for  example, 
the  complete  phone  number  £S 
for  room  #260  in  Thatcher  Hall 
will  be  238-2260.

was  Kevin  Shaw  who  gave  the 
audience  a  bit  of  background 
information  about  the  orche- 
stra numbers— the  Strauss 
"Kaizer  Walzer"  and 
"Tritsch  Tratsch  Polka' ' , 
'"Pizzicato  Polka",  and  Dvor- 


zak's  "Slavonic  Dance  Num- 
bers." 
Collegiate  Chorale,  with 
director  Dr.  Don  Runyan,  took 
the  audience  on  a  "Senti- 
mental Journey."  Featured  in 
one  of  the  selections  was  Evan 
Chesney  as  "The  Whistling 
Gypsy".  They  concluded  their 
part  of  the  program  with 
"Ain't  Gonna  Study  War  No 
More,"  with  a  soprano  solo  by 
Karla  Michaelis.  Tom  Breece 
on  the  bass,  percussionists 
Lori  Ronning  and  Rusty  Sax 
and  Sidney  Whiting,  pianist, 
accompanied  the  group. 
With  director  Pat  Silver,  the 
concert  band  performed 
several  patriotic  numbers 
including  "The  Spirit  of  Our 
Land,"  "Stars  and  Stripes 
Forever"  and  "Dixie". 
Concluding  the  concert, 
Southern  Bel  Canto,  under  the 
direction  of  Larry  Otto,  began 
their  performance  of  "What 
Price  Freedom?"  with  the 
unfurling  of  a  large  American 
flag.  The  choreography,  light- 
ing and  orchestration  combin- 
ed with  the  girls'  voices  to 
make  an  excellent  grand  finale 
to  the  program.

Elder  Clay  Farwell,  president 
of  the  Kentucky -Tennessee 
conference,  addressed  the 
student  body  this  past  Tues- 
day at  chapel.  Farwell's  talk 
was  entitled,  "Famine  in  the 
Land."  It  emphasized  plant- 
ing ourselves  firmly  with  our 
Lord  and  listening  to  His 
direction. 

One  of  the  main  highlights  of 
Elder  Farwell's  talk  was  an 
experience  that  he  had  in 
Acapulco.  It  involved  a  situ- 
ation where  Farwell  neglected 
to  listen  carefully  to  a  para- 
glider  instructor.  Farwell's 
wife  and  friends  had  success- 
fully enjoyed  their  flight  over 
the  ocean  and  landed  grace- 
fully on  the  beach. 

When  Elder  Farwell  took  his 
turn,  it  proved  to  be  wet  and 
embarrassing  since  he  failed 
to  listen  carefully  to  his 
Mexican  instructor.  This 
experience  was  tied  into  the 
talk  in  which  Farwell  said, 
"People,  there  is  a  real  famine 
in  the  world  today,  not  just  of 
bread  and  water  but  of  listen- 
ing to  the  word  of  God." 

President  Knittel  was  sched-  wflk 

uled    to    speak    during    this  ^W 

chapel,  but  a  communication 
mixup  occurred.  President 
Knittel  will  speak  next  Tues- 
day instead. 


2/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/October  14,  1982 


A    house  divided... 


There  is  a  problem  in  our  church  and  at  Southern  College 
which  can  no  longer  be  ignored.  The  problem  to  which  I  am 
referring  is  not  the  difference  of  theological  opinion,  but 
rather  that  of  the  conflict  over  it.  Theological  discussion  has 
its  place;  without  a  written  creed,  will  there  not  always  be 
minor  doctrinal  discrepencies  in  the  SDA  Church?  But  the 
shrieking  and  howling  and  the  insults  hurled  ceaselessly 
between  factions,,  have  no  place.  As  I  was  observing  a 
particularly  vitriolic  argument  the  other  day,  the  thought 
occured  to  me  that,  paradoxically,  the  people  who  are 
causing  the  most  commotion  are  the  ones  who  are  the  least 
sure  of  their  premises.  May  I  suggest  that  the  next  time  you 
rise  to  the  defense  of  "your  side,"  ask  yourself,  "Am  I 
fighting  for  a  spiritual  conviction  or  am  I  fighting  to  maintain 
my  ego?"  And  if  your  reason  is  strictly  religious,  try  to  keep 
your  discussion  strictly  religious  also.  Personal  insults  and 
scathing  accusations  only  hinder  the  situation  and  point  out 
the  insecurity  of  your  cause. 
I  have  heard  many  people  criticizing  "the  church"  for  the 
mess  it  is  in.  Can't  we  realize  that  we  are  "the  church"? 
The  time  is  past  for  us  to  stand  piously  aside,  virtuously 
pointing  the  finger  of  condemnation  at  an  isolated  group  of 
hierarchy.  God's  church  is  a  body  composed  of  each  one  of 
us,  and  as  Christians  our  ultimate  goal  should  be 
membership  in  God's  kingdom.  We  can't  love  God  and  hate 
our  brother.  We'll  never  be  able  to  share  Heaven  without 
working  together. 
"A  house  divided  against  itself  cannot  stand."  Luke  11:17.

The  whitetail  is  the  most 
numerous  and  popular  big 
game  animal  in  North  Amer- 
ica. The  habits  of  the  wary 
and  resourceful  animal  are 
well  worthy  of  study. 
The  white-tailed  deer  is  the 
most  tolerant  of  our  big  game 
species.  In  contrast  to  the 
buffalo,  elk,  moose,  and  other 
relatives,  the  deer  can  live 
close  to  man  with  little  diffi- 
culty. Few  large  animals  are 
capable  of  such  eye-popping 
increases  in  numbers  when 
the  basic  needs  of  food  and 
shelter  are  matched  by  good 
management. 

The  "rutting"  season  (when 
bucks  compete  for  the  does) 
covers  most  of  the  fall  and 
winter  months.  Production, 
like  antler  growth  and  weight, 
is  affected  by  age,  heredity, 
and  geography,  but  most 
importantly  by  the  quality  and 
quantity  of  food. 

Winter  is  the  critical  time  for 
most  animals,  and  many 
whitetail  problems  can  be 
traced  to  food  shortages  from 
January  to  March.  While  few 
deer  die  of  starvation  alone 
parasites  and  disease  strike 
susceptable  animals  on  badly 
overbrowsed  range.  High 
water  may  also  pose  problems 
as  did  the  heavy  rains  that  hit 
the  Everglades  in  June  and 
July  of  this  past  summer.

200  to  205  days  the  does  give

Bucks  take  no  part  in  raising 
the  fawns.  Males 
solitary  during 
months,  when  growing  antlers 
are  soft  and  sensitive.  Bucks 
breed  first  as  yearlings,  show- 
ing their  maturity  by  swollen 
necks  and  antler  growth.  New 
antlers  begin  growth  in  April 
and  May  to  replace  those  shed 
during  the  winter.  Velvet  is 
rubbed    off    and     racks    are 


usually    hard    by    autumn.

1  Southern  Players,  the  col- 
lege's newest  drama  group,  is 
■currently  working  on  a  pro- 
Iduction  unlike  anything  SC 
>  done  before.  The  play,  a 
■comedy,  is  set  in  Naples,  Italy. 
■  Titled  simply  "Scapino,"  after 
i  character,  the  whole 
■production  promises  to  be 
■pure    fun    for    everyone    in- 

I  The  whole  purpose  behind  a 

play  of  this  nature  is  to  give 

:  actors  involved  the  joy  of 

[producing  entertainment  at  its 

st  and  yet  have  fun  doing  it. 

nerally  speaking,  although

lommitted  to  it,  producing  a 

good    performance    is    more 

■jthausting,    frustrating    and

Kaltze.  However,   "Scapino" 

is  different. 
■■This  is  a  great  experience 
H|  the  actors,"  enthused 
■fiyde  Garey,  the  Players' 
■gctor.  "It's  just  so  much 
play,  not  heavy  serious  work 
■If*1    as     most     productions 

demaml." 
^Diis  is  not  to  say  that  the 
■pdents  in  "Scapino"  aren't 
Bitting  forth  any  effort.  The 
Bay  was  cast  just  before  the 
B1^  of  school  last  spring,  and

^Brticipants  were  expected  to 
■ve  most  of  their  lines 
Memorized  bv  this  time. 


But  rehearsals  so  far  have 
been  packed  with  enthusiasm, 
laughter  and  fun.  The  natural 
energy  and  humor  which  the 
actors  possess  is  simply  chan- 
neled into  the  play,  instead  of 
suppressed  as  is  usually 
necessary.  A  spirit  of  fun  is 
encouraged  as  long  as  the 
actors  use  it  in  the  context  of 
the  play,  as  the  characters 
they  portray.  The  end  result  is 
comical,  entertaining  and  yet 
remarkably  very  typical  of 
everyone. 

Another  difference  in  this 
production  is  the  place  where 
the  performances  will  take 
place.  Instead  of  doing  it  on 
campus,  the  Players  will  be 
using  the  Read  House  in 
downtown  Chattanooga.  The 
play  will  be  held  in  the 
House's  silver  ballroom,  along 
with  an  Italian  meal  of  spa- 
ghetti, sauce  and  salad.  Sev- 
eral of  the  actors  will  be  used 
as  waiters  and  actually  serve 
the  audience  while  the  play  is 
in  progress. 

Ticket  prices  range  from 
$19/couple,  for  Sc  students,  to 
S25/couple.  Individual  tickets 
are  $9.50  and  512.50  a  person. 
The  play  will  run  October  24th 
and  25th. 

Though  "Scapino"  is  cer- 
tainly deviating  from  the  usual 
type  of  play  performed  by  SC, 
students  and  faculty  alike  are 
encouraged  to  adventurous 
and  come  prepared  to  relax 
and  enjoy  themselves. 
"Adults  and  seven-year-olds 
alike  will  find  this  play 
refreshingly  different."  com- 
mented Garey,  smiling.  "And 
one  thing's  for  sure;  if  you 
miss  it,  you'll  definitely  regret

According  to  VandeVere,  (he 
program  is  "designed  to  help 
administrations  at  all  levels 
and  all  parts  of  the  college 
campus." 

The  program  to  be  utilized  is 
one  developed  by  the  Higher 
Education  Management  Insti- 
tute (HEMI).  It  involves 
needs  assessment,  the  writing 

ments,  and  the  implementa- 
tion of  these  goals  and  mission

The  Student  Association--  Is  it  serving  its  purpose? 


a 


by  Joseph  Robertson 


Qi 


YES 


The  Student  Association  is 
exactly  what  the  name 
implies,  an  organization  of 
and  for  the  sutdents  of  South- 
ern College  (SC).  Our  Student 
Association  (SA)  serves  the 
majority  interest  of  all  the 
students  through  various 
means.  The  organization  has 
yearly  elections  for  its  execu- 
tive officers  to  guide  the 
organization  the  following 
year.  In  the  fall  semester, 
Senate  representatives  are 
elected  for  each  of  the  26 
precincts.  Each  year  the  SA 
budget  is  created  by  member- 
ship dues  which  are  taken 
automatically  out  of  tuition 
fees;  it  is  1.25  percent  of  the 
full-time  tuition  charge.  These 
dues  are  among  the  lowest  in 
the  North  American  Division, 
yet  of  all  SDA  colleges  SC  has 
one  of  the  most  active  SA 
organizations. 
The    budget    each    year    is 


earmarked  specifically  for  that 
year's  activities  and  functions 
6T  the  SA.  What  does  the 
budget  pay  for?  The  biggest 
portion  of  the  budget  goes  for 
the  various  publications;  in 
fact,  that  portion  accounts  for 
49  percent  of  the  total  SA 
budget.  This  includes  the 
Southern  Accent,  Southern 
Memories,  the  Joker  and  the 
Numerique.  which  are  distri- 
buted to  students  at  no 
charge.  It  also  may  be  noted 
that  all  of  these  this  year  have 
been  out  earlier  than  in  times 
past.  Another  major  part  of 
the  budget,  16  percent  is  used 
for  the  Social  Activities  and 
Student  Services,  including 
such  things  as  the  SA  Ban- 
quets, Saturday  night  pro- 
grams, and  other  parties  in 
between.  Student  Services 
sponsors  '  'Take-a-break' ' 

{Cookie  breaks),  vans  each 
week  to  the  local  malls  and 
many  things  to  enable  you  to 
have  a  more  enjoyable  life  on 
campus. 
Aside  from  the  busy  social 
schedule  that  the  SA  works  to 
create,  they  are  the  connection 
between  students  and  the 
college  administration,  the 
SA  is  a  due  paying  member  of 
the  'Committee  of  100*  and 
therefore  has  the  rights  of  a 
member,  such  as  voting  power 
and  the  right  to  sit  in  on 
College    Board     meetings. 


Here  the  SA  can  voice  the 
opinions  and  or  mood  of  the 
students  to  those  who  have 
direct  authority  over  the  Col- 
lege. In  the  circle  of  the 
college  administration  the  SA 
is  able  to  let  the  administra- 
tors know  just  what  they  think 
about  the  issues  at  hand.  The 
SA  is  fortunate  to  have  a  good 
working  relationship  with  our 
College  President,  who  has 
always  solicited  the  SA's 
input,  and  respects  their  opin- 
ions as  they  speak  for  the 
student  body. 

The  SA  may  also  sit  in  on 
Faculty  Senate  and  participate 
in  the  discussions  so  the 
faculty  representatives  _  can 
hear  what  the  students  may 
feel  about  happenings  relating 
to  the  college,  while  at  the 
same  time  the  SA  can  hear  the 
comments  of  the  faculty  mem- 
bers as  to  what  they  feel  is 
important. 

An  issue  of  major  importance 
with  which  the  SA  has  dealt 
this  year  is  the  placement  of 
the  new  Learning  Center. 
During  the  summer,  when  the 
college  recieved  the  US  Grant 
for  the  learning  center,  the 
administration  decided  to 
locate  the  center  in  the  Stu- 
dent Lounge  of  the  Student 
Center  and/or  the  game  room. 

At  first  it  seemed  as  though 
the  administration  was 
planning  to  go  through  with  its 


plans  in  our  Student  Center, 
without  consulting  the  SA. 
But  President  Franklin 
researched  the  matter  and 
insisted  that  other  alternatives 
be  studied, -alternatives  such 
as  the  library,  Miller  Hall. 
The  SA  was  then  invited  to  be 
on  the  committees  that  were  to 
study  the  placement  possibil- 
ities, and  were  also  consulted 
several  times  about  the  project 
itself.  The  outcome:  the 
Lounge  and  game  room  are 
safe.  The  administration 
decided  to  put  the  center  in 
the  Assembly  room,  so  there 
are  no  highly  used  student 
areas  being  taken,  and  the 
administration,  for  whatever 
reason,  can  have  the  Learning 
Center  in  the  Student  Center. 
If  students  check  the  events 
calender  for  next  semester, 
they  will  note  that  in  February 
there  is  a  "Ski  day."  On  this 
big  Ski  day  the  SA  will  host  a 
day,  and  go  on  a  trip  to  Beach 
Mt.  Resort  in  North  Carolina. 
(A  Snow  Ski  Resort).  The  day 
didn't  appear  on  trie-calendar. 
It  took  quite  a  bit  of  lobbying 
of  the  administration  to  get 
them  to  agree  to  it.  Here 
again,  President  Franklin  did 
a  super  job  hi  speaking  for  the 
best  interest  of  the   student 

Checking  the  not  so  distant 
past,  it  can  be  seen  that  it  was 
the  SA  Senate  who  persuaded 


the  faculty  to  vote  in  favor  of  a 
new  jeans   policy,   that  is,  a 
policy  permitting  students  to 
wear  jeans  to  classes.    In  the 
1981-82  school  year  the  Senate 
did  a  great  deal  of  research 
among    the   faculty    and   the  [ 
students,   and  presented  the  J 
results  to  the  administration. 
Then  they  asked  for  the  policy  J 
change  and  a  vote  was  taken.  1 
Needless  to  say,  the  policy  j 
was  changed. 
Yes,  I  feel  very  strongly  that  I 
the    Student    Association    is  I 
serving  a  very  valuable  pur- ; 
pose,  as  it  continually  works  J 
for  each  student.     If  eve 
student  has  a  grievance,  i 
they  feel  the  administration  J 
has  not  handled  it  correctly,  [ 
they  should  feel  free  to  discuss  ij 
it  with  any  SA  representative. 
There     are     open     lines    of  I 
communication    between   the  l[ 
SA   Office  -and  Wright  Hall,  j 
and  the  SA  strives  to  use  those  j 
lines  to  get  what  is  best  for  the 
srudents  of  Southern  College. 
The  SA  feel  that  their  duty  to  I 
the  student  is  to  do  all  they  | 
can  to  improve  campus  life. 
Whether  it  is  in  planning  big  I 
banquets    or    programs, 
keeping   the   Student   Center! 
Lounge  from  being  taken  over,  f 
the  Student  Association  is  a 
important  part  of  it  all.    And"! 
what  is  the  Student  Associa-I 
tion?      It  is  each  individual  j 
student. 


& 


Many  students  don't  realize 
that  they  are  being  pampered 
into  submission.  The  main 
tool  of  the  pampering  process 
is  the  SA.  If  the  students  are 
kept  happy  with  full  banquets, 
great  picnics,  enjoyanie 
movies  on  Friday  afternoons, 
and  decent  chapel  programs, 


everyone  will  go  along  with 
whatever  is  thrown  at  them.  I 
think  this  is  pure  unadulter- 
ated bologna.  It's  sad  that  so 
many  are  suckered  into  think- 
ing that  nothing  can  be  done 
about  important  issues,  or  as 
the  saying  goes,  "You  can't 
fight  Wright  Hall." 

Social  events  should  not  be 
the  main  thrust  of  the  SA.  As 
a  student  at  the  Bronx  High 
School  of  Science,  I  could 
depend  on  the  SA  to  air  the 
grievances  of  the  student  body 
in  a  most  effective  way.  I  can 
remember  the  great  student 
strike  of  '78  when  the  students 
peacefully  did  not  go  to  class- 
es until  the  administration 
took  time  to  really  listen  to 
them.  Strangely  enough,  this 
tactic  worked.  I'm  not  sug- 
gesting that  a  mass  revolt  is 
the  only  way  to  solve  prob- 
lems. What  I'm  saying  is  that 
decisive  measures  should  be 
taken  to  show  the  administra- 
tion that  we  mean  business. 
For  example,  I  was  insulted 
when  I  was  told  that  I  could 


not  have  a  television  in  my 
room  because  1)  f*didn't  know 
how  to  study  and  2)  I  didn't 
know  what  to  watch.  I  know 
there  are  many  who  felt  the 
same  way. 
I  think  there  is  a  feasible  way 
of  solving  this  problem. 
During  the  first  nine  weeks  of 
school  a  freshman  would  not 
be  permitted  to  have  a  televi- 
sion. Thereafter,  if  an  accept- 
able GPA  is  achieved,  he 
would  be  allowed  to  have  a 
.  television  set --only  on  the 
premise  that  he  maintains  a 
GPA  above  the  minimum  set 
by  the  school  and  stated  in  the 
SC  catalog.  If  the  student's 
GPA  goes  below  the  set 
minimum  then  he  would  not 
be  allowed  to  have  a  television 
set  for  another  nine-week 
period.  That,  to  me,  is  a 
reasonable  plan. 
If  students  would  take  the 
tune  to  state  their  grievances 
to  the  SA  and  would  put  them 
under  pressure  to  take  action 
1  m  sure  some  things  would 
change.     But  most  students 


appear  to  be  either  indiffer- 
ent, apathetic,  ignorant,  or 
just  plain  scared  to  speak  up. 

I  haven't  forgotten  that  the 
faculty  can  veto  any  action 
taken  by  the  SA.  This  is  their 
ultimate  weapon.  But  the 
power  to  veto  should  not  be 
the  end  of  an  issue.  The 
faculty  should  be  obligated  to 
provide  a  good  solid  reason  for 
their  decision,  and  the  student 
body  should  have  a  right  to 
ask  for  this  reason. 

Another  factor  that  causes 
the  SA  to  be  ineffective  is 
communication  repression  and 
punishment.  It  is  a  known  fact 
that  those  who  speak  out 
against  the  establishment 
either  get  shot,  burned,  or  are 
given  a  custom-made  pair  of 
cement  shoes.  Martin  Luther 
King  and  John  Huss  are  prime 
examples.  They  wanted  to 
communicate  their  grievances 
to  the  world.  But  their 
attempt  to  communicate  was 
repressed  and  they  were 
punished.  There  is  danger  of 
being  put  on  the  SC  hit  list  if 


one    is    too    verbal    in    nisi 
complaints.     What  we  need 
are  people  who  are  not  afraid 
to    speak    out    against    the 
repression  •  that     exists    t» 
abundantly  on  this  campus. 
The  silent  majority  needs  to 
wake  up  and  come  alive.  If* 
were  to  show  the  administra- 
tion   that    we    were    serious, 
maybe    some    of  the  closed 
minds  would  open  up.    Then 
maybe    we    could    have   M 
effective  SA.    But  until  then  I 
guess  I'll  just  have  to  tolerate 
the    repression    and    punish- 
ment.    Well,  at  least  I  have^

October  14,  1982/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/5 


^Di/fcection§ 


The  blue  sphere  came  off  the 
back  wall  of  the  raquet  ball 
court.  This  is  going  to  be  a 
piece  of  cake — '  'kill' ' — the 
thought  goes  through  my  head 
as  1  cock  my  arm  and  wrist  to 
blast  the  ball  to  infinity.  Then 
in  a  nanosecond  I  think,  "Fake 
him  out,  dump  the  shot  in  the 
corner,"  and  so  my  muscles 
that  are  prepared  for  a  ball 
breaking  shot  relax  ever  so 
slightly.  Then,  in  another 
nanosecond,  I  think,  "But  I 
have  had  good  success  with 
the  kill  shot."  My  muscles 
tighten.  Another  nanosecond 
and  the  thought  passes  that  I 


need  to  vary  my  game.  Once 
again  1  think  of  softly  easing 
the  ball  into  the  corner. 

You  guessed  it,  by  now  the 
opportune  time  has  passed,  I 
hit  a  half  slam,  half  dump  shot 
which  equals  a  piece  of  cake 
for  my  opponent  who  is  not  so 
indecisive.  He  rips  the  ball 
and  I  lose  the  point. 

There  is  a  time  in  life  for 
decision  and  a  time  in  life  for 
discussion.  The  time  for 
discussion  is  not  when  the 
little  blue  ball  hangs  over  the 
floor  at  the  serve  line  while 
you  stand  there  with  your 
racket  cocked. 


There  are  people  who  can 
never  decide  to  decide  and  so 
they  meander  through  life  like 
the  river  whose  course  is 
decided  by  the  silt  that  it 
dumps  along  the  way.  An 
embankment  here,  some 
rushes  there,  and  the  river 
turns,  changing  its  course  for 
the  slightest  obstacle.  Like 
the  bum  who  said  when  asked 
how  he  knew  what  direction  to 
travel,  "I  always  walk  with  the 
wind  at  my  back."  Knowing 
when  to  make  a  decision  and 
when  to  discuss  a  decision  will 
save  your  life  from  much 
heartache. 


of  the  will — the 
power  to  decide  is  a  God-given 
capacity  that  we  prostitute  at 
the  alter  of  spinelessness., 
Sometimes  it  is  important  to 
make  a  decision  even  if  it  is 
wrong — at  least  you  are  grab- 
bing your  own  destiny  by  the 
throat.  Maybe  there  is  some- 
thing in  your  life  that  needs 
decision.  You  are  putting  it 
off  figuring  that  it  will  go  away 
or  time  will  solve  it.  More 
time  never  makes  decisions 
concerning  your  spiritual  di- 
rection in  life  easier.  The 
longer  and  deeper  the  mind 
runs   in   the   rut   of  spiritual 


indecision  the  harder  it  is  to 
get  out.  The  longer  you 
postpone  spiritual  commit- 
ment the  less  likely  it  is  that 
such  a  decision  will  be  made. 
There  is  a  saying,  "Not  to 
decide  is  to  decide."  That  is 
especially  true  in  the  Christian 
life.  For  in  the  Great  Contro- 
versy between  good  and  evil, 
not  to  decide  for  good  is  to 
decide  for  evil.  Spiritual 
drifters  don't  drift  into  a 
relationship  with  Christ  any 
more  than  driftwood  goes  up 
stream.

on   Monday   October   4   with

of 


the 


women's  league  The  number 
of  participarjis  this  year  is  at 
an  all-time  /iigh,  perhaps  due 
to  the  excellent  intramural 
program  run  by  Coach  Steve 
Jaecks. 
Captains  in  the  women's 
league  are  Thompson,  Arias, 
McKee,  Reed,  and  Mullins. 
After  last  week's  play  it  looks 
as  though  Arias'  team  may 
repeat  last  year's  undefeated 
season    as    they    won    three 


games  quite  handily.  How- 
ever, Thompson  and  McKee 
each  collected  a  win  and  could 
provide    some    stiff    compe- 

In  Men's  "A"  League,  Greve 
and  Durby  has  season  opening 
wins,  each  team  looking  to 
finish  at  the  top  of  the  league. 
But  Manzella  and  Pettijohn 
could  prove  to  be  winners  as 
well,  making  the  league  look 
very  competitive. 

"B"  league  is  divided  into 
East  and  West  divisions  with 
Bryant,  Dickerhoff  and  Duff 
vying  for  the  top  spot  in  the 
East,  while  in  the  West,  first 
place  could  turn  out  to  be  a 
dual  between  Montaperto  and 
Mixon.

Worst  Attempted  Drive:

Golf  tourney 


by  Tricia  Smith 

The  ninth  annua!  Talgc  Hall 
Fall  Golf  Tournamenr  was 
held  at  1  p.m.  on  Sunday, 
Ociober  3,  at  (he  Moccasin 
Bend  Golf  Course. 

Seventeen  reams  partici- 
pated, each  consisting  of  stu- 
dents, deans,  faculty,  and 
men  from  Chattanooga,. Cleve- 
land, Life  Care,  and  alumni. 
Every  team  had  four  players 
and  the  game  was  determined 
on  a  "select  shot"  basis.  This 
involves  using  the  best  shot  of 
the    four    players    for    each 

throughout  the  game.  -This 
policy  has  been  chosen  to 
encourage  more  team  spirit 
and  to  take  some  of  the 
pressure  off  each  individual 
player. 

This  year  a  prize  was  given 
for  the  Worst  Attempted  Drive 
of  the  day  along  with  ihe 
siandard  two  events  "closes! 
to  the  hole,"  (three  par)  and 
"longest  drive"  (five  par). 
The  winner  for  each  of  the 
received  a  sleeve  of

for 


first  place  between  the  Stu- 
dent team,  Deans,  Stepan- 
ske's  team,  and  the  Chatta- 
nooga-Cleveland team.  In  the 
playoffs  that  followed,  all  five 
teams  birdied  the  first  hole. 
After  the  second,  only  the 
Student  and  Dean  teams  re- 
mained. These  proceeded  to 
par  the  third  hole  but  due  to 
darkness,  the  final  plays  were 
postponed  until  later  in  the 
week.  On  Thursday  the  7th, 
the  deans  conceded  to  the 
Student  team  (Barry  Man- 
zella, Kelly  Pettijohn,  Dave 
Botimer,  and  Mike  McClung) 
making  (hem  the  tournament 
winners.  Each  man  received  a 
plaque  with  details  of  the 
event  engraved. 

"We  can  attribute  much  ot 
our  success  to  Mike 
McClung,"  commented  Petti- 
john, "for  several  of  his 
outstanding  shots  thai  pulled

Whenever  I  hear  Greek  stu- 
dents bellyaching  about  how 
hard  Greek  is  and  how  they 
can't  understand  it,  ..I  get 
pretty  upset.  Most  of  them 
are  from  the  South,  which 
means  that  they  don't  have  to 
take  that  ridiculous  new  class 
"Southern  Tawk 058."  This  is 
now  a  requirement  for  all  born 
north  of  Knoxville. 

I  remember  trying  to  slip  by 
as  a  good  ol'  boy"  at  registra- 
tion. "S'coose  me,"  I  said  to 
the  final  checkout.  "Cain  ah 
barrow  a  pen  and  paper?" 

She  eyed  me  suspiciously. 
"Ain't  yoo  from  Noo  Yoke?" 

I  stared  at  her  wide-eyed,  the 


epito 


of 


"Shucks,  honey,  I  ain't  a 
Yankee!" 

Still  not  satisfied,  she  pried 
me  some  more.  "Is  Jawja  yor

"Yup,  shore  is."  (What's  so 
great  about  pecans,  peanuts, 
and  kudzu?) 

"Whut  about  yor  boll

"Why,  the  Etlanna  Braves." 
(They  needed  a  Yankee 
manager). 

"Whut  So  yoo  et  with  yore

"With  ma  whut?"  (Oh-oh, 
she's  got  me  now).^ 

"Aigs I  Aigs!  Wiiut  chicken

"Sorry,"  I  breathed,  "Mah 


ears  got  plum  plugged  up." 
(Stop  sweating,  you  can  still 
make  it.)  "Whal,  I  eats  my 
aigs  ever  mornin*  with  some 
dee-Hcious  grits."  (Gross,  I 
hate  that  tasteless,  mushy 
cement.) 

She  beamed.  "Yup,  I  cain 
eat  grits  all  day."  (I  believe  it 
with  one  look  at  you.)  "I  use  a 
heepa  hunny  and  a  dash  o' 
sawt.  Yoo  too?"  She  jabbed 
me  in  the  ribs. 

"Sho'  nuff,  lotsa  sawt,"  I 
nodded  stupidly  with  an 
equally  stupid  smile.  I  didn't 
know  how  much  longer  I  could

Gdansk,  Poland,  birthplace  of 
Solidarity,  was  the  scene  of 
violent  protests  this  week  as 
workers  went  on  strike  at  the 
Lenin  Shipyard  to  protest  the 
ban  on  the  labor  union  and  the 
internment  of  its  leader,  Lech 
Walesa,  last  December. 

The  Dow  Jones  industrial

"Not  me,  fo  shore,"  I  vigor- 
ously agreed,  seeing  the  end 
in  sight. 

'  'Here  is  yore  checkout 
sheet,"  she  grinned,  and  then 
in  a  low  whisper  added, 
"Would  you  like  my  momma's 
secret    recipe    fo'    okra    and 


possum  pie?" 

Feeling  a  bit  heady  over  my 
excellent  acting,  I  bellowed, 
"Sho,  jus'  hand  over  a  pice  of 
paper  and  pen." 
"Aha!"  she  scowled.  "Ah 
knew  yoo  was  a  Yankee!" 

"Whu— Wha— How?"  I 

stuttered. 

"Everbody  knows  you  pro- 
nounce it  pain  and  papuh.  But 
don't  worry.  Yoo'll  be  all 
straightened  out  soon." 

"How's  *hat?"  I  groaned. 

She  smiled  her  stupid  South- 
ern smile  and  said,  "Wel- 
come to  Southern  Tawk  058!"

Symphony  gives  World's  Fair  concert 


"It's  the  best  youth  group 
we've  heard  perform  all 
summer."  exclaimed  one 
stage  hand  after  the  Southern 
College  Symphony  Orches- 
tra's concert  at  the  World's 
Fair.  The  group  performed  at 
8:30  p.m.  on  Sunday,  October 
17  in  the  Court  of  Flags.  The 
concert  had  originally  been 
scheduled  for  the  Tennessee 
amphitheater  but  was  pre- 
empted by  a  program  of 
international  interest. 

Dr.  Orlo  Gilbert,  conductor, 
received  the  invitation  last 
year  to  perform  at  the  fair 
after  entertainment  officials 
heard  of  the  symphony's 
world  tours  and  requested  an 


audition  tape. 
The  concert  repertoire  was 
quite  varied  and  included 
works  by  Berlioz,  Copland, 
Strauss,  and  Grieg,  whose 
Piano  Concerto  was  performed 
by  pianist  Sondra  Snider.  A 
favorite  of  both  the  performers 
and  audience  was  Hayman's 
"Pops  Hoedown,"  a  choreo- 
graphed collection  of  old-time 
fiddle  tunes  and  square-dance 

The  audience  who  braved  the 
wind  and  55-degree  weather 
gave  the  symphony  a  standing 
ovation  as  the  performance 
concluded  with  "Highlights 
from  'Annie.'"

For 


that  reason,  tickets  for  every- 
one except  faculty  and  stu- 
dents are  $12.50.      Students 


from  any  college  or  high 
school,  if  they  can  produce

tones  and  antique  chandeliers. 

And  as  for  the  play  itself, 
after  all  the  effort  which  has 
been  put  forth  in  the  other 
areas,  the  Players  aren't  going 
to  let  their  audiences  down. 
For  the  last  few  months,  they 
have  worked  especially  hard  to 
produce  a  play  which  will  be 
remembered  by  all  who  have 
the  privilege  of  attending  it. 
Two  hours  of  pure,  refreshing

Frankly,  my  dear, 
I    don't  give  ... 


What  is  the  biggest  problem  facing  SC  students  today?  Is  it 
A)  a  change  in  the  administration,  B)  rising  tuition,  C)  heresy 
in  the  theology  department,  D)  tightening  of  the  rules,  or  b) 
none  of  the  above.  Mv  vote  eoes  for  E-none  of  the  above 
and  I  have  a  sneaking  suspicion  what  it  is— apathy.  Yes,  I 
know  those  other  things  are  causing  problems,  but  take  a 
good  look  at  yourself  and  the  student  body  in  general. 

What  did  you  do  when  you  heard  Knittel  was  taking  a 
sabbatical?  Most  of  you  said,  "too  bad"  and  went  on  your 
merry  way.  How  about  rising  tuition?  Many  grumbled  but 
then  paid  the  extra  anyway.  Heresy  in  the  theology 
department?  Well,  you  know  how  it  is.  Let  the  theologians 
and  those  radical  fanatics  fight  about  it.  But  who  cares 
anyway.  It's  just  my  church  at  stake.  And  the  tightening  of 
the  rules?  Only  one  student  out  of  the  1,500  on  this  campus 
bothered  to  constructively  voice  his  opinion  by  writing  a 
letter  to  the  Accent.  The  rest  of  you  just  sat  back  and 
complained  or  cheered.    And  so  it  goes. 

Major  issues  of  today,  issues  that  affect  each  student  of 
Southern  College  are  taken  lightly.  The  whole  world  could 
blow  up  and  many  would  ask,  "What  happened?" 
"Oh,"  but  you  say,  "What  can  /  do?  I'm  just  one  voice 
out  of  so  many."  The  answer  is  "a  lot".  Get  involved  in 
your  college.  Keep  up  on  the  issues  and  take  an  active  role. 
Speak  now.   Tomorrow  just  might  be  too  late.

Dear  Editor: 

Dana  Reed's  argument  that 
the  Student  Association  is 
flawed  in  both  of  its  founda- 
tions: that  TV  sets  should  be 
allowed  in  the  dormitories, 
and  that  the  SA  does  nothing 
effective  about  student  com- 
plaints--in  particular,  student 
complaints  about  the  prohibi- 
tion of  TV  sets. 
Point  #1:  He  had  no  right  to 
be  "insulted"  when  "told" 
that  TV  sets  could  not  be 
brought  to  the  dormitory.  A 
little  research  would  have 
indicated  that  this  is  a  well- 
known  policy,  traditional  in  all 
SDA  colleges  in  our  culture. 
Would  I  have  the  right  to  feel 
"insulted"  if  collared  by  the 
KGB  for  handing  out  anti- 
communist    leaflets    in    Red 


He  also  failed  to  mention 
what  to  me  is  the  most 
compelling  argument  against 
TV  sets  in  dormitories:  one's 
neighbors.  The  sheer  concen- 
tration of  people  makes  it 
difficult  to  maintain  a  habit- 
able (to  say  nothing  of 
'  'studyable")  environment 
without  TV  in  rooms.  With 
them,  it  would  be  impossible. 
A  short  stay  in  any  hospital 
other  than  Wildwood,  or  a 
week  in  a  motel  should  con- 
vince even  the  most  reluctant 
of  this  fact. 

Point  #2:  The  SA  has  indeed 
been  effective,  particularly  in 
the  matter  of  pressing  strong 
interests  of  students.  Discus- 
sions among  faculty  and 
administrators  about  such 
items  as  room  refrigerators, 
pantsuifs  and  blue  jeans 
would  have  never  reached  the 


intensity  they  did  if  there  had 
not  been  strong  pressure  from 
the  Student  Association,  it 
just  happens  that  the  Student 
Ass^ation  has  notjet  chosen 
pet 


address    Mr.    Reed 


The  apathy  of  the  student 
body  may  exist,  but  I  feel  it 
exists  primarily  in  the  area  of 
studies  and  work.  l  can 
always  tell  when  the  leaves 
are  about  ready  to  fall  because 
students  come  to  me  to  get 
their  work  hours  reduced. 
And  with  a  Thursday  after- 
noon class,  1  had  to  put  up 
with  a  good-sized  ,linp  nf  1 
students  who  wanted 
before  the  midterm  tes 
SA's  purpose  is  not 
served,  it  is  because  i 
are  overdone.

Dear  Editor, 

Tick  me  off! 

I  came  out  of  the  library  after 
one  of  my  classes  a  couple 
weeks  ago,  when  I  noticed  a 
crowd  of  people  outside  the 
Student  Center.  My  mind 
raced  with  the  thought  that  it 
might  be  a  "Cookie  Break." 
Oh!  How  a  cookie  would  make 
my  stomach  content,  especial- 
ly since  I  had  skimped  on 
breakfast  that  morning. 

But  as  I  neared  my  goal,  the 
doors  of  Hackman  Hall  burst 
open  and  the  bone  and  micro 
freaks  poured  down  the  stairs 
toward  the  grub  (no  relation  to 


Paula).  1  could  see  the  blank 
look  in  their  eyes  as  they 
shoved  down  the  munchies 
handfuls  at  a  time. 

My  pace  accelerated,  along 
with  those  from  the  Nursing 
Building  in  hopes  that  there 
might  be  something  left.  But 
when  I  arrived  at  the  table, 
only  a  few  fragments  re- 
mained. I  gazed  at  the 
attendant  with  a  bit  of 
my  eyes  as  J 
ren'r  there  any 
more? ' '  My       stomach 

grumbled  for  added  effect. 

He  replied  with  a  leer  as  he 
wiped  crumbs  from  his   own 


mouth,  "Nope,  but  there's 
plenty  of  chocolate  milk." 

I  picked  up  a  cup  and 
wandered  toward  mv  nest 
class.  How  could  they  be  so 
inhumane  as  to  build  up  my 
hopes  and  then  smash  them  in 
my  face? 

I  charge  that  something  be 
done.  Committees  should  be 
formed,  meetings  held,  any- 
thing to  assure  that  this 
doesn't  happen  again.  I 
desire  that  in  the  future 
everyone  will  be  able  to  enjoy 
the  benefits  of  a  "Cookie 
Break."  Sincerely,  1

Southern    Bel    plans    tour 


October  21,  1982  /SOUTHERN  ACCENT/3 


This  weekend  Southern  Bel 
Canto  will  go  on  its  first 
singing  tour  of  the  yea'      The 


he  - 


,  prog 


Sabbat!'  rrorn.ng  tney  win 
travel  to  the  Spartanburg 
churcfi  to  sing  for  the  church 
service.  To  conclude  the  tour, 
Southern  Bel  Canto  will  per- 
form a  sacred  and  secular 
program  at  Fletcher  on  Satur- 
day night. 

Kathy  Potts,  a  senior  music 
major  who  has  sung  in  the 
group  since  its  conception  in 
1980  says  of  the  tour.  "It  gives 
us  an  opportunity  to  get  to 
know  the  other  girls  in  the 
group.  From  past  experience  I 
have  noticed  that  we  make 
better  music  when  we  get  to 
know  each  other." 

Larry  Otto,  the  director  of 
Southern  Bel  Canto,  started 
the  group  three  years  ago 
when  it  was  decided  that  there 


was  a  real  need  for  an  all 
womens'  choir.  Otto  noted 
that  ^there  were  so  many 
talented  women  that  wanted 
to  sing  and  no  choir  for  them 
to  sing  in."  Thus,  the  group 
Southern  Bel  Canto  came  into 
existence. 
Otto,  who  started  teaching  at 
Southern  College  in  1979  says 
"From  the  beginning  the 
group  had  a  good  sound.  But  I 
think     that     each     year    we 

Lori  Hodges,  a  newcomer  to 
the  group  this  year,  notes, 
"I've  never  been  in  an  all-girl 
choir  before.  It's  a  lot  of  fun 
because  we  seem  to  harmon- 
ize well.  I'm  really  excited 
about  the  tour." 

The  group  has  sung  for 
church  several  times  this  year 
and  participated  in  the  Pops 
Concert.  The  number  that 
was  performed  at  the  Pops 
Concert,  "What  Price  Free- 
dom, ' '  will  be  one  of  the  many 
numbers    that    will    be    per- 


formed on  the  tour. 
This  particular  selection  is  a 
combined  effort  of  many  dif- 
ferent talents  of  the  members 
of  Southern  Bel  and  others.  A 
small  orchestra  gave  the  num- 
ber an  added  dimension  for 
the  Pops  Concert.  On  tour  the 
group  will  use  a  tape  of  that 
orchestra.  The  flag  that  hung 
behind  the  chorus  during  the 
performance  was  made  by 
Claire  Wiese  who  has  been  a 
member  of  Southern  Bel  since 
its  beginning. 

All  the  girls  spent  long  hours 
memorizing  their  music, 
speaking  parts,  and  the 
choreography.  Ron  Mackey, 
the  accompanist  for  the 
chorus,  adds  a  special  touch  to 
the  overall  sound. 
Otto,  who  arranges  some  of 
the  music  for  his  group 
summed  it  up  saying,  "I  think 
we  have  a  good  variety  of 
music  to  present  and  I  know  it 
will  be  a  good  tour." 


Religion  retreat   held 
at  Cohutta  Springs  Camp 


About  80  students  out  of  the 
765  who  went  away  for  the 
long  weekend,    attended   the 

IT  Cohutta  Springs  Retreat 
I  organized  under  the  sponsor- 
I  ship  of  Campus  Ministry. 
I  Hayrides,  water  skiing,  hik- 
I  ing,  canoeing,  meeting  new 
I  friends,  marshmallow  eating, 
■  sports,  delicious  meals  at  a 
I  flat  rate,  and  dynamic  preach- 
■  ing  were  among  the  highlights 
■  of  a  relaxing  weekend  in 
■  nature.  Chaplain  Jim  Herman 
■  said  that  they  "were  endeav- 
^■oring  to  have   a   retreat   not 

■  quite  a  meeting  like  a  typical 

■  Bible   Conference,"    but   one 

■  with     "plenty     of    time     for 

■  recreation."    It  is  not  without 

■  reason  that  Steven  Josephs, 
■one  of  the  attendants  said,  "I 
■really  had  a  good  time." 

■  The  weekend  came  about  by 

■  accident.  It  was  originally 
I  Sl*eduled  for  the  Union  Fall 

■  Retreat.  The  Southern  Union 
■unfortunately  withdrew  their 
I  support  this  year  because  of 
I  the  attendance  deficiency.    In 

■  good  taitn,  Herman  deliber- 
ately assumed  the  responsibil- 

IT"y  <o  organize  a  college 
retreat  instead.  "The  Union 
tacked  out  on  their  commit- 
ment. We  had  the  camp 
^served,  so  we  just  went 
ahead  with  it,"  he  explained, 
'he  Campus  Ministries  Re-

Movie  attendance— should    it   be  a    moral    issue? 


a 


by  Les  Mathewson 


&r. 


KE5 


At  the  risk  of  being  mis- 
understood and  labeled  as  a 
"legalist."  Iwill  answer  YES. 
In  fact,  for  the  Christian,  life  is 
a  "moral  issue."  Perhaps  the 
better  question  should  be 
"how  does  a  Christian  re- 
spond to  the  moral  issue  of 
movie  attendance?"  I  shall 
spend  the  remainder  of  this 
short  essay  on  answering  the 
latter  question,  as  the  former 
has  been  hashed  and  rehashed 
so  long  on  SDA  campuses  that 
any  student  who  has  paid  his 
S6000  a  year  could  recite  a  half 
dozen  reasons  pro  and  con. 
It  would  be  easy  to  say  (along 
with  well-meaning  parents, 
teachers,  and  deans)  that  the 
Christian  should  never,  under 
any  circumstances,  enter  a 
movie  theater.     In  fact,  one 


could  quite  easily  find  a  fistful 
of  quotes  from  some  often  too 
dusty  red  books  that  would 
rather  quickly  confirm  in  the 
minds  of  many  that  any  world- 
ly amusements  are  downright 
sinful.  And  one  could  conform 
to  the  traditions  of  our 
"fathers"  and  avoid  movie 
theaters  like  the  bubonic 
plague.  Lists  of  things  that 
are  inherently  right  and  wrong 
are  nice  because  they  allow  us 
to  go  to  sleep  at  night  knowing 
that  we  have  refrained  from 
going  against  the  mandates  of 
our  "religion."  Compliance 
to  lists  and  traditions  on  the 
other  hand,  also  removes  our 
opportunity  to  develop  a 
Christlike  character.  Such  a 
character  is  developed  not  by 
unquestioning  conformity,  but 
rather  by  grappling  with 
issues  in  light  of  the  gospel 
and  then,  acting  in  a  way  that 
would  best  glorify  God.  I 
could  provide  a  list  of  good 
reasons  for  not  attending 
theaters,  (e.g.  it  is  a  waste  of 
money  and  time,  "bad 
people"  attend  with  you,  etc.) 
then  you  could  spend  your 
time  rationalizing  them  away 
one  by  one  (e.g.  matinees  save 
money,  "bad  people"  bother 
you  less  at  theaters  then  at  the 
local  Golden  Gallon,  etc.),  and 


we  would  both  be  back  to  step 
one.  The  issue  then  is  not  one 
of  theaters  being  intrinsically 
evil,  that  could  only  be  called 
superstition,  but  rather  the 
issue  is  one  of  what  is  at  stake 
for  the  Christian  when  he 
attends  movies. 
It  is  a  law  of  the  mind  that  by 
beholding  we  become 
changed.  If  you  have  read  at 
all  in  the  field  of  psychology, 
the 


that 


world  supports  that.  Is  it 
wrong  to  go  to  movies?  I 
answer  yes  if  the  theater  you 
are  going  to  will  hold  before 
your  eyes  images  which  could 
be  considered  at  best  non- 
Christlike.  We  are  here  to 
develop  our  characters  (this 
doesn't  mean  earning  our 
salvation,  lest  1  be  misunder- 
stood), to  become  Christian 
ladies  and  gentlemen.  Any- 
thing that  stops,  hinders,  or 
slow  down  that  process  is  a 
sin.  In  Romans,  Paul  admon- 
ishes us  to  "not  be  conformed 
to  this  world  (its  principles, 
practices,  or  patterns),  but  be 
transformed  by  the  renewal  of 
your  minds."  (Romans  12:2) 
One  might  do  well  to  ask  what 
effect  the  movie  will  have  on 
my  attitudes  and  behavior. 
So  somebody  will  say,  "Come 
on  now;  I  know  what's  right 


and  wrong.  I'm  not  going  to 
change  my  lifestyle  because  of 
a  movie!  What's  wrong  with 
going  to  the  movie  just  for 
fun?"  Fun?  Like  the  young 
lady  who  told  me  last  week 
that  after  seeing  Amityville  II, 
she  and  her  girlfriend 
returned  to  the  car  and 
prayed.  Prayed?!?  What  on 
earth  for?  Forgiveness? 
Protection?  Wisdom  in  the 
future?  I  think  that  if  we  were 
all  really  honest  with  our- 
selves, we  would  admit  that 
much  of  what  many  of  us  see 
at  the  theater  is  not  worthy  of 
our  undivided  attention. 
Going  to  movies  for  FUN  is 
really  the  enjoyment  of  seeing 
other  people  do  things  that  we 
would  never  do.  After  Paul 
lists  a  number  of  sinful  things 
in  Romans  1:29-31,  he  says 
that  some  people  not  only  sin 
but  "approve  those  who  prac- 
tice them"  (i.e.  the  sins).  Are 
we  guiltless  when  we  allow 
some  film  star  to  vicariously 
sin  on  our  behalf?  No,  we 
would  never  have  premarital 
sex,  or  steal  a  car,  or  "waste" 
somebody!  But  we  would 
laugh,  pant,  drool,  or  shriek 
with  excitement  while  some- 
body else  does  it  on  the  silver 
screen.  AH  the  while  remind- 
ing ourselves  how  good  we  are 


because  we  don't  do  such 
things.  As  Martin  Luther  is 
reported  to  have  said,  "Sjn 
boldly  Melanchthon,  God  only 
forgives  the  lustful  sinner." 
In  other  words,  if  we  want  to 
enter  into  the  forgiveness  that 
God  has  already  provided  in 
Christ  Jesus,  we  must  be  bold 
enough  to  recognize  and  admit 
the  sinfulness  of  our  actions. 
So  long  as  we  claim  thai 
something  is  not  "really  thai 
bad"  we  are  rejecting  the 
forgiveness  that  God  wishes  to 
provide  to  us  freely.  (I  John 
1:8  -  2:2.  Isaiah  1:18-20) 
Is  movie  attendance  a  moral 
issue?  Yes!  Does  that  mean 
that  God  doesn't  want  us  to 
have  any  fun?  Of  course 
not — be  real!  He  wants  us  lo 
understand  that  true  joy  is  noi 
found  in  isolating  yourself  in  a 
fantasy  (be  it  a  movie  at  a 
theater,  the  TV  sitcom,  or  a 
self-induced  one),  bui  rather 
in  experiencing  realuy.  We 
need  to  give  of  ourselves  as 
Christ  gave  of  Himself.  Live 
to  grow,  even  into  the  image 
of  Christ.  Next  time  you  have 
the  urge  to  attend  the  Sunday  I 
matinee,  give  God  a  try;  spend  I 
a  couple  hours  and  a  couple  I 
dollars  doing  something  for  | 
somebody  else,  and  see  whai  J 
real  entertainmeni  is! 


Ko 


Let's  start  by  restating  the 
question  slightly  to  read 
"Should  theater  attendance 
be  forced  into  a  moral  issue?" 
The  answer  to  the  original 
question  is  an  obvious  yes 
since  all  decisions  such  as  this 
do  involve  morality,  but  such 
decisions  should  be  a  matter 
of  personal  morality  and  not  a 
matter     of     applied      social 


standards.  No  one  should 
force  their  morals  on  another 
individual  in  such  a  way  as  to 
say,  "This  is  correct  because  I 
Relieve  it  is  correct." 

This  college  has  an  editing 
board  that  screens  all  films 
shown  on  campus.  This  is 
applied  morals.  We  are 
expected  to  accept  these  deci- 
sions as  somehow  justifiable 
because  these  people  have 
considered  them  just;  thus  we 
see  films  such  as  "Bambi," 
"The  Apple  Dumpling 
Gang,"  ■•The  World's  Great- 
est Athlete,"  and  other 
movies  that  were  obviously 
produced  for  children.  Be 
realistic.  As  Adventists,  we 
are  to  be  "apart"  from  the 
"world."  True.  However,  we 
live  in  the  real  world,  not  as  it 
should  be  but  as  it  is.  Thus  we 
are  faced  with  daily  choices 
between  right  and  wrong  and 
the  faculty  cannot  make  the 
decisions  that  we  must  make 


in  everyday  life.  This  is  up  to 
us  and  us  alone.  Some  people 
opt  for  theater  attendance  and 
others  against  it.  This,  like 
any  other  daily  question  of 
standards,  is  a  personal  deci- 
sion  We  are  mature  enough 
at  the  college  level  to  make 
this    decision    for    ourselves, 


Nistzche  said  that  "The 
surest  way  to  corrupt  a  youth 
is  to  instruct  him  to  hold  in 
higher  esteem  those  who  think 
alike  than  those  who  think 
differently."  We  are  taught 
that  those  who  think  the  same, 
or  as  we  are  told  is  "proper," 
are  somehow  above  the  rest 
Let  us  reemphasize—  "Be 
real.  We  are  individuals  and 
as  such  should  be  allowed  the 
freedom  to  choose  as  we  see 
fit.  At  this  college  we  nave 
seen  graphic  violence  such  as 
the  crucifixion  of  Jesus  and 


viewed  by  the  censorship 
board  as  justifiable  yet  when 
we  go  to  the  deans  pleading  to 
see  "The  Deerhunter"  (which 
happened  to  these  writers  last 
year)  we  are  told  "No,  I  don't 
think  you  ought  to  view  that." 
We  have  seen  this  film  in  the 
theater  and  there  was  nothing 
in  it  that  was  as  gruesome  as  a 
crucifixion,  yet  we  are  told 
that  we  are  immoral  for  want- 
ing to  see  it.  Are  we  college 
students  or  little  children  that 
need  someone  to  tell  us  what 
we  should  consider  "moral" 
and  "immoral?"  We  all  know 
the  answer  to  thai  question.  .1

Once  upon  a  time  there  was  a 
student  who  was  a  real  fox. 
Unfortunately  even  foxes  die 
and  he  did  and  went  to 
heaven.  He  went  to  St.  Peter 
at  the  pearly  gates  to  gain 
entrance  to  heaven  and  found 
when  he  arrived  that  there 
was  a  long  line  of  people 
waiting  in  front  of  St.  Peter's 
desk.  St.  Peter  seemed  to  be 
(aking  his  time  in  talking  to 
ihe  people.  This  student  was 
very  impatient.  "I  can  organ- 
ize this  line  better  than  this, 
why  I  could  get  these  people 


aken  ( 


■  of  i 


he 


thought  to  himself.  He  went 
to  the  head  of  the  line  to  talk  to 
St.  Peter  and  was  told  by  the 
helping  angels  to  go  back  and 
wait  in  line.  "This  is  ridicu- 
lous," he  told  the  angel  that 
was  standing  by  him  near  the 
back  of  the  line.  "Why,  when 
1  was  on  earth  I  never  waited 
in  lines;  I  was  organized.  You 
need  to  attend  some  manage- 


ment classes  and  get  things 
organized  up  here."  The 
angel  smiled  and  said  nothing. 
"I  can't  believe  it!"  he 
thought  to  himself,  "I  thought 
they  would  at  least  have 
known  I  was  coming." 
Our  real  fox  of  a  student 
began  looking  around  at 
others  in  line  with  him.  He 
hadn't  really  noticed  them 
before.  Most  of  them  were 
obvious  turkeys.  They  were 
not  preppy  like  he  was  and 
some  of  them  looked  like  the 
nerds  he  had  seen  on  earth 
waiting  in  line  for  handouts.  It 
was  clear  that  some  of  them 
were  obviously  very  uneducat- 
ed. It  became  more  and  more 
clear  to  him  that  there  had 
been  some  mistake  —  he  must 
be  in  the  wrong  line.  He  went 
up  to  the  front  of  the  line  again 
to  ask  if  this  wasn't  the  wrong 
line.  "Don't  you  have  a  line 
for  those  of  us  who  have  been 
Christians  all  of  our  lives?    I 


mean;  it  is  obvious  that  some 
of  those  in  this  line  were 
latecomers  to  the  cause  and 
they  don't  have  much  in  the 
way  of  abilities.  No  doubt  you 
do  need  to  spend  a  lot  of  time 
with  some  of  these  types  to 
help  them  fill  out  forms.  But 
certainly  you  have  a  faster 
registration  line,  where  pro- 
cedures are  shorter  for  people 
like  myself." 
He  was  politely  told  that  he 
was  in  the  right  line.  He 
returned  to  his  place  in  line 
but  was  getting  more  and 
more  impatient  at  how  things 
were  being  handled,  and  most 
important,  how  he  was  being 
handled.  When  he  was  in 
school  he  was  treated  like 
somebody.  He  had  never 
been  ignored  like  this.  This 
attitude  was  getting  to  him. 
The  girls  on  earth  had  treated 
him  better  than  these  angels 
were.  He  managed  to  wait 
rather  impatiently  for  about  15 


more  minutes  until  he  noticed 
that  St.  Peter  was  not  even 
calling  people  in  the  order  that 
they  were  standing  in  line.  He 
didn't  do  anything  until  an 
obviously  very  uninfluencia! 
fellow  was  called  to  the  head 
of  the  line  who  had  been 
standing  behind  him.  That 
was  too  much !  He  simply  was 
not  used  to  being  so  over- 
looked. Why  most  of  the 
people  going  in  front  of  him 
didn't  have  one  tenth  of  the 
knowledge  of  heaven  and 
theology  that  he  had,  and  he 
was  sure  that  they  hadn't  been 
as  respected  as  he  had. 
In  his  frustration  he  suddenly 
saw  another"  line  that  he 
hadn't  seen  before.  "Fun- 
ny," he  though  to  himself, 
"Why  didn't  I  see  that  be- 
fore?" From  where  he  was 
standing  the  line  looked  like  it 
was  moving  more  rapidly  and 
the  people  in  it  looked  much 
more     distinguished.  He 


quickly  switched  lines.  One  of 
the  angels  there  recognized 
him  immediately  and  said, 
' '  Why  it  certainly  is  our 
pleasure  to  have  you  here! 
You  are  too  important  to  stand 
in  line  here  —  let  me  usher 
you  to  the  head  of  the  line." 
"Why  this  is  more  like  it,"  he 
thought  to  himself. 

At  the  front  of  the  line  they 
gave  him  a  lot  of  the  attention 
that  he  was  used  to.  He  was 
moved  quickly  through  regis- 
tration, so  quickly  in  fact  that 
he  hardly  knew  what  he  was 
signing.  A  very  attentive, 
flattering  angel  ushered  him 
through  a  large  door.  He  was 
so  gratified  with  the  attention 
he  was  given  by  the  angels  in 
this  line  that  he  didn't  even 
notice  the  sign  over  the  door 
he  went  through.  It  read, 
"HELL." 


Religion  department— on  the  line 


The  Religion  Department  of 
Southern  College  held  a 
symposium  on  October  9,  1982 
to  address  questions  raised  by 
concerned  alumni  and  other 
interested  parties.  The  meet- 
ing opened  with  a  song  festi- 
val. Then  Dr.  Wayne  Thur- 
ber,  director  of  Public  Affairs 
at  SC  gave  the  ground 
rules  for  the  meeting.  Since 
questions  were  submitted  in 
written  form  beforehand,  no 
questions  would  be  fielded 
from  the  audience.  Thurber 
encouraged  anyone  with 
comments  to  write  a  letter  to 
the  Southern  Columns.  SC's 
alumni  magazine. 

Elder  Douglas  Bennett, 
chairman  of  the  Religion 
Department  and  moderator  for 
the  discussion,  made  an  open- 
ing statement.  He  stated  that 
"truth  is  more  dynamic  than 
static,  every  searching  and 
seeking.  A  church  must  have 
fundamental  beliefs,  but  on 
certain  secondary  issues,  such 
as  the  144,000,  abortion  and 
capital  punishment,  we  should 
be  charitable  to  those  who 
hold  different  beliefs." 
Bennett  also  pointed  out  that 
the  religion  teachers  wish  to 
ground  our  students  in  the 
Vord  of  God  and  that  they  are 
"l  harmony  with  the  consen- 
s  statement  made  at  Glacier 
View  regarding  the  sanctuary. 


the  pre-Advent  judgment,  the 
investigative  judgment,  and 
salvation  by  faith  alone. 
Bennett  added  that  "this 
question  period  will  give  the 
teachers  a  chance  to  speak  for 
themselves  and  they  will  be 
happy  to  respond." 
The  first  question  was  direc- 
ted to  all  of  the  members  of 
the  department — Ron  Spring- 
ett,  Norman  Gulley,  Gordon 
Hyde,  Lorenzo.  Grant,  Jerry 
Gladson,  Douglas  Bennett, 
and  Ed  Zackrison.  The  ques- 
tion asked,  "What  was  the 
Dallas  statement?"  Bennett 
gave  some  background  infor- 
mation. It  first  appeared  in 
the  February  21,  1980  issue  of 
the  Adventist  Review  and  was 
meant  to  clarify  the  funda- 
mental beliefs  of  the  SDA 
church. 

Each  religion  teacher  then 
affirmed  their  agreement  with 
this  statement  of  doctrine. 

The  second  question  was, 
"What  about  a  literal  trans- 
lation to  the  heavenly  sanctu- 
aries?" Jerry  Gladson  said 
that  he  was  almost  sure  the 
question  was  directed  to 
Hebrews  in  the  New  Testa- 
ment. He  added  that  there  is 
a  grounding  for  a  heavenly 
sanctuary  in  Leviticus  25:8, 
31.  Bennett  then  asked  Ron 
Springett  to  address  the  ques- 
tion from  the  New  Testament 


view.  Springett  said  that  his 
position  is  found  in  the  Bible 
Commentary,  volume  10,  page 
468.  "This  is  the  position  I 
give  in  my  classes,"  Springett 
stated.  He  then  invited  the 
questioner  to  read  the  position 
for  himself. 
The  third  addressed  to  the 
issue  of  alleged  heresy  at  SC. 
"There  is  talk  of  heresy  being 
taught  at  Southern  College. 
Even  though  I  don't  believe 
this  to  be  true,  what  is  given 
as  the  reason  for  the  heresy 


Ed  Zackrison  addressed  the 
question  by  stating  that 
heresy  is  used  in  relationship 
to  a  creed.  "Theie  are  four 
things  meant  by  (the  term) 
heretic,"  Zackrison  said. 
"They  are  1)  out  of  harmony 
with  the  Scriptures,  2)  at 
variance  with  my  understand- 
ing of  the  Bible,  3)at  variance 
with  the  church's  understand- 
ing of  the  Bible,  4)at  variance 
with  my  understanding  of  the 
church's  fundamental  beliefs. 


"Heresy  is  a  very  general 
term,"  Zackrison  said,  "We 
have  already  described  our 
feelings  about  the  fundamen- 
tal beliefs  {of  the  Seventh-day 
Adventist  church).  In  my 
classes  we  will  be  teaching  in 
harmony  with  accepted  official 
teaching." 

After  touching  briefly  on 
other  subjects,  each  panel 
member  reaffirmed  their 
support  of  the  Seventh-day 
Adventist  church.

Qoutkm  Omic 


A  certain  matter  has  been 
brought  to  my  attention 
recently.  Just  a  few  weeks 
ago  I  was  reading  everyone's 
favorite  paper,  the  Accent, 
when  what  to  my  wondering 
eyes  should  appear  but  a  small 
article  about  our  president 
here. 

I  was  aghast.  Simply  flab- 
bergasted. Dr.  Knittel,  taking 
a  sabbatical?  Immediately  my 
feminine,  naturally  organized 
mind  began  trying  to  think  of 
suitable  presidents  to  fill  the 
vacated  position  after  the  best 
was  gone.  After  all,  things  of 
importance  such  as  this  can't 
be  left  up  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees;  they're  still  working 
on  the  name  change.  (Their 
newest,  by  the  way,  has  been 
to    start    going    through    the 


dictionary  alphebetically  in 
hopes  of  finding  some  fresh 
ideas.  Anyone  for  the  Ameri- 
can Association  of  Anteaters?) 

It  be-  tme  quite  clear  to  me 
from  the  beginning  that  this 
was  something  I  should 
handle.  So,  in  my  usual 
methodical  manner  I  combed 
the  campus,  conducted  sur- 
veys and  took  polls.  I  am 
proud  to  be  able  to  give  you, 
the  faithful  readers,  the 
results  of  my  painstaking 
efforts.

not.  One  Frank  has  been  quite

Gerald  Owens.  Now  here's 
an  idea  worth  thinking  about. 
The  entire  campus  could  be 
operated  from  a  huge  multi- 
purpose computer.  I  know 
from  a  very  reliable  source 
that  Mr.  Owens,  if  asked  to  fill 
the  job,  would  be  happy  to 
implement  systems  like 
"Teller  24"  whereby  the  stu- 
dent could  simply  slide  in  his

SA  officers  -  on  the  line 


by  Maureen  Mayden 

The  Student  Association 
chapel  was  an  "open-forum" 
Tuesday,  October  24.  It  began 
with  announcements  and  es- 
calated into  a  discussion  of 
Christian  values. 

Alvin  Franklin,  SA  Presi- 
dent, started  with  a  list  of 
projects  that  the  SA  would  be 
bringing  before  the  Presi- 
dent's council  this  week. 
These  included  the  late  leave 
policy  (equalizing  the 
requirements  for  men  and 
women),  the  change  in  room 
check  time  for  seniors,  various 
senior  privileges,  open  com- 
munications between  students 
and  administration,  and 
changing  punishments  to  fit 
the  "crime." 

Students  we 
to  a  microphc 
aisle  to  ask  questions  or  to 
voice  their  opinion  about  any 
relevant  issues.  J.  T.  Shim, 
Junior  Computer  major,  was 
the  first  to  take  advantage  of 
this  opportunity  and  spoke 
about  his  concern  for  more 
cookie  breaks.  Other  issues 
that  were  approached  were 
possible  pay  phones  on  cam- 
pus in  a  central  location  for  the 
convenience  of  '  'together' ' 
phone  calls, 
"rip-off"  that 
statement,  senior  picture 


:  allowed  to  go 


takes  and  choices,  dorm  lobby 
closing  times,  and  the  new 
phone  system. 

Stephen  Springer,  Sopho- 
more Theology  major,  ques- 
tioned the  necessity  of  various 
magazines  for  sale  in  the 
Campus  Shop  and  the  VM. 
This  topic  was  pursued  by 
several  different  viewpoints 
and  continued  until  Carl  Lang- 
ston,  Freshman  Theology  ma- 
jor, presented  the  subject  of 
television  in  the  dorms.  He 
felt  that  the  TV  was  not 
necessary  in  a  Christian  school 
and  that  the  SA  should  take 
that  into  consideration  when 
planning. 

This  excited  the  students  and 
there  were  conversations  go- 
ing on  all  over  the  gym. 
agreeing  and  disagreeing, 
until  Terry  Shaw,  SA  Parlia- 
mentarian, got  up  and  asked 
that  the  students  show  a  little 
respect  for  the  speakers.  This 
quieted  the  crowd  somewhat, 
but  when  the  subject  was 
pursued  further,  Tom  Long 
stated  that  the  issue  was  a 
personal  decision.  Franklin 
agreed,  and  asked  that  the 
topic  be  changed  since  it  was 
not  an  SA  matter.  "If 
students  can't  decide  for 
themselves  what  to  watch  on 
TV  by  the  time  they  are  in 


Nursing  students  dedicated    to    service 


college,  then  they  shouldn't 
be  here,"  stated  Franklin. 
Mark  Bolton,  Senior  History 
major,  answered  the  request 
for  different  topics  and  asked 
about  special  events  that  are 
planned  for  the  rest  of  this 
semester.  Parti  Stone,  SA 
Social  Activities,  announced 
the  SA  banquet  in  November 
at  the  Lookout  Mountain  Fair- 
land  Club.  Franklin  revealed 
plans  requesting  Amy  Grant 


to  perform  at  the  college,  and 
a  Ski  Day  at  Beech  Mountain 
in  North  Carolina  to  be  held 
sometime  during  second 
semester,  if  all  goes  well. 

Other  topics  were  brought  up 
concerning  weekend  leaves  to 
the  surrounding  community 
and  the  Security  Department 
opening  academic  buildings  at 
night  and  on  weekends  for 
studies. 

An  impromptu  quartet  ended 


Patll  Stone,  Malinda 


the  discussion  with  a  musical 
selection,  and  Rhonda  Hal- 
lock,  Senior  Office  Adminis- 
tration major,  moved  that  the, 
meeting  be  adjourned.  The 
motion  was  seconded  and  all 

One  student  observed, 
"Alvin  did  a  good  job 
handling  all  the  different 
issues  and  arguments." 


by  Leanne  Facundus 

Eighty-one  first  semester 
nursing  students,  the  largest 
number  in  the  history  of  SC, 
were  dedicated  before  an 
assembly  of  families  and 
friends  in  the  Collegedale 
church  on  Saturday,  October 
24,  1982. 

David  Smith,  of  the  SC 
English  Department,  was 
chosen  by  the  class  to  be  the 
guest  speaker.  He  began  his 
talk  with  the  statement,  "So 
you  want  to  spend  the  rest  of 
your  life  working  with  sick 
people.  Now  that  calls  for 
dedication."  He  went  on  to 
say,  "Working  with  sick 
people  isn't  necessarily  the 
ideal,  at  least  the  way  most 
people  look  at  it-including  my 
wife.  When  I  get  sick,  she 
gets  mad  at  me."  With 
entertaining  statements  such 
as  this  dispersed  throughout, 
Mr.  Smith  went  on  to  seriously 
discuss  why  the  students  were 
being  dedicated.     "I'd  have 


you  think  this  evening  that 
you  are  being  dedicated  be- 
cause you  are  aspiring  not  just 
to  be  a  nurse,  but  a  Christian 
nurse.  I  hope  you  aren't 
becoming  a  nurse  just  because 
it  is  a  good  job.  I  hope  you 
aspire  to  be  a  nurse  because 
you  want  to  heal  souls  as  well 
as  bodies,  because  you  want  to 
let  your  Christianity  shine 
through  your  vocation.  .  .  Your 
task  as  Christian  nurses  is  to 
share  the  hope  that  the  God  in 
heaven  forgives  and  loves  and 
never  stops.  You  can  always 
share  hope.  Tonight  we 
dedicate  you  to  that." 

During  the  program  a  few 
musical  selections  were  per- 
formed by  members  of  the 
class,  and  a  representative 
from  Gideon  International 
presented  the  class  with  small 
white  New  Testaments.  Mrs. 
Elvie  Swinson  then  called  roll 
and  each  student  rose  to  light 
his   candle.      Encircling    the 


darkened  church  with  their  lit 
candles,  the  class  recited  the 
Nightingale  Pledge  to  pass 
their  lives  in  purity  and  to 
practice  the  profession  faith- 
fully. The  program  closed 
with  the  nurses  singing  their 
class  song,  "One  Little  Can- 
dle." 

Mrs.  Jean  Springett,  a 
Nursing  I  instructor,  explains 
that  "We  are  a  religious 
school,  and  we  believe  there  is 
a  special  significance  in  the 
work  our  students  are  doing, 
so  we  have  a  dedication 
instead  of  a  capping  cere- 
mony." Mrs.  Colleen  Barrow 
suggested  that  the  capping 
ceremony  was  done  away  with 
because  of  the  increasing 
number  of  male  nursing  stu- 
dents. However,  this  semes- 
ter's class  has  only  eight  men, 
which  is  five  or  six  less  than 
most  previous  classes.

Religious    freedom? 


;  valued  by  everyone.    We  all 
l  style  and 


Individuality  is  a  trait  that  i: 
want  to  be  known  for  being  "i 

don't  like  to  be  conformistic.  We  object  when  wc  .« 
regimented  and  deprived  of  our  individuality  by  the 
substitution  of  computer  numbers  for  our  names;  we 
grumble  mutinously  about  rules  and  regulations  that  cramp 
our  style."  In  general,  we  resent  any  infringement  on  our 
own  personal  freedom.  Freedom  to  be  ourselves  is  one  of  the 
things  most  dear  to  us,  and  we  will  do  anything  to  protect  It. 

But  we  must  remember  that  there  are  other  individuals 
besides  us--and  those  people  are  just  as  entitled  to  their 
individual  freedom  as  we  are.  In  order  to  preserve  peace, 
there  must  be  give  and  take.  We  must  be  accepting  of 
others'  personal  opinions— just  as  we  expect  others  to  be 
accepting  of  ours. 

It  is  relatively  easy  for  us  to  accept  other  people's  political 
views,  taste  in  fashion,  style  in  self-expression,  etc.  But 
there  is  one  area  about  which  we  tend  to  be  very 
closed-minded.  In  the  area  of  Christianity,  we  allow  almost 
no  room  for  individuality.  The  majority  of  us  have 
comfortable  middle-of-the-road  views,  and  frankly,  we  don't 
like  it  when  people  deviate  from  our  set  norm-especially 
when  they  move  toward  the  right  side  of  the  road  and  dare  to 
express  an  opinion  more  conservative  than  our  own.  We 
label  these  people  "fanatics;"  we  poke  fun  at  their  "overly 
conservative"  views;  we  scorn  them  for  being  themselves. 

Now  I'm  not  saying  that  we  should  necessarily  agree  with 
every  conservative  idea  that  comes  along,  nor  that  every  such 
opinion  merits  the  instigation  of  a  moral  reformation.  But 
Christianity,  like  every  other  aspect  of  life,  is  an  individual 
matter  and  Christian  society  should  allow  for  varying 
opinions.  And  not  only  should  these  opinions  be  allowed, 
they  should  be  respected  as  well. 

Individuality  is  so  important.  We  allow  it  in  every  other 
aspect  of  life.  Why  can't  we  be  consistent  and  allow  it  in 
Christianity  too?

Dear  Editor: 

Have  we  been  brainwashed? 
Mistaken?  Or  did  we  just  learn 
from  different  teachers? 

Tell  us,  is  there  anything 
wrong  with  a  "C"?  For  years, 
students  have  heard,  "  A  'C  is 
an  average  grade."     "Don't 


semester  grades.  If  they're 
not  up  to  the  usual  high 
school  level,  it  will  get  better 
as  you  adjust." 
So  tell  us,  why  do  the 
freshmen  have  to  get  a  3.00 
GPA  to  get  out  of  study  hall? 
What  are  you  trying  to  say  to 


worry,  there  is  nothing  wrong    those  kids  who  get  "C's"  and 


.iih  getting 
class."  And,  "You're  h 
middle,  with  everyone  els 
a  C  isn't  bad." 

We've  also  heard  nev< 
expect  too  much  from 


this 


i  their  classes?  There 
is  NOTHING  wrong  with  that! 

Or  have  we  been  misled?  If 
you'll  notice,  any  mixture  of 
"B's"  and  "C's"  will  get  you 

nowhere  near  a  3.00  GPA.

Will  we  get  a  response  oi:i| 
there?   Can  anyone  give  u 
few  reasons  why  the  asi

than  2.25.  2.50,  or  even  2.751  f

To  the  Editors: 
Your    editorial     '  'A    House 
Divided"     (Oct.     14),     while 
apparently  sincere,  was  highly 
disturbing. 

One  wonders  how  much  more 
evidence  is  needed  to  convince 
some  people  that  "minor 
doctrinal  discrepancies"  are 
not  the  issue  in  the  current 
discussions.  Small  differences 

I  of  opinion  have  always  existed 
among  Christians,  but  these 
lot  tend  to  divide.  Mini- 
...i  don't  lose  their  creden- 
ials   and    form    independent 

|  congregations  over  the  length 
men's  dresses.  By 
;t,    a    long,    protracted 

I  debate  causing   division   and 

I  estrangement  is  good  evi- 
dence that  a  major  issue  is 
at  stake.  Moreover,  when 
Ellen  White  states  concerning 
such  issues  as  the  judgment- 
hour  message  and  the  Spirit  of 
Prophecy  that  "the  destiny  of 


souls  hangs  upon  the ,,,, 

in  which  they  are  received" 
<EW  259),  that  /'those 
Seventh-day  Adventists  who 
take  their  stand  under  Satan's 
banner  will  first  give  up  their 
faith"  in  the  Testimonies 
(3SM  84),  shouldn't  this  give 
pause  to  those   who   disdain 

Perhaps  the  editor  of  Christ- 
ianity Today  said  it  best  in  an 
editorial  dated  Feb.  16,  1979: 
'  'To  use  love  as  an  umbrella  to 
cover  doctrinal  differences 
does  not  solve  the  basic  prob- 
lem. Doctrine  does  divide.  It 
always  has.  It  always  will.  It 
must  do  so,  as  the  Bible  does, 
in  order  to  separate  truth  from 
error. ...If  it  is  not  grounded  in 
sound  doctrine,  love  is  not 
true  love  even  though  called 
by  that  name." 

While  concern  over  harsh- 
ness and  a  lack  of  love  is  in 
order,  your  editorial  seems 
more  fearful  of  conflict  than  of 
error.  When  I  read  the  Bible, 
I  find  this  is  reversed.

THE  DOW  JONES  industrial 
average  fell  36.33  points 
Monday  in  the  biggest  single-

Tick  ME  off! 

After  reading  the  most  recent

"Letter  to  the  Editor,"  I  feel  a 
I  little  edgy.  I  am  speaking 
I  specifically  of  the  article  by

J  Bev,  I  do  know  how  you  feel! 
Bt's  too  bad  that  some  people

freak"  is  not  intended  as  a 
peal,  but  merely  an  in-be-

we  could  treat  mature  college 
students  as  kindergarten 
children  and  begin  dishing  out 
to  them  a  small  equal  amount. 
(Hey,  that  doesn't  sound  too 
bad;  we  could  make  everyone

In  closing  I  just  want  to  say

Beard  profiled  in  Accent  interview 


Robin  Beard  is  running  for 
the  US  Senate  because  of  his 
children.  "My  philosophy  of 
belief,"  says  the  43-year  old 
Republican  candidate,  "is  that 
we  should  not  mortgage  the 
future  of  our  children  and 
grandchildren  for  the  political 
expediency  of  today."  Beard 
is  opposing  Senator  Jim  Sas- 
ser  in  the  November  2  election 
in  what  is  shaping  up  to  be  a 
tight  race. 

In  a  phone  interview  with  the 
Accent.  Beard's  press  secre- 
tary, Bill  Childress  outlined 
Beard's  positions,  read  a 
statement  from  the  candidate. 


and  gave  a  brief  background 
of  Robin  Beard. 

Beard  was  born  in  Knoxville 
and  attended  Vanderbilt  uni- 
versity. He  served  as  State 
Personnel  Commissioner  in 
Governor  Winfield  Dunn's 
administration.  Beard  was 
first  elected  to  the  US  House 
of  Representatives  in  1972  and 
has  served  five  terms.  In  the 
ten  years  in  the  House  he  has 
"voted  consistently  against 
government  regulation  and 
against  government  intrusion 
into  our  daily  lives." 

Beard  is  the  ranking  minority 
member  of  the  House  Armed 


Services  Committee  and  is  on 
the  House  Select  Committee 
for  Narcotics  Abuse.  He  was 
the  House  observer  in  the 
SALT  talks  and  the  United 
Nations'  Disarmament  talks. 
He  is  considered  by  many  to 
be    an    authority    on    NATO 

Beard  also  supports  many 
conservative  issues.  In  1982, 
the  Christian  Voice,  a  national 
Christian  lobby  representing 
300,000  people,  presented 
Beard  with  the  Christian 
Statesmen  Award.  The  award 
goes  to  members  of  Congress 
who  score  80  percent  or  above 


on  the  Christian  Voice  voting 
index.  Beard  voted  'correctly' 
91  percent  of  the  time  on  such 
issues  as  school  prayer,  abor- 
tions, IRS  regulations  affect- 
ing Christian  schools,  forced 
busing,  gay  rights,  a  balanced 
budget  and  other  issues. 

Beard's  statement  to  the 
Accent  said  that  he  has  "voted 
for,  on  a  consistent  basis, 
the  restoration  of  values  which 
have  made  our  country  strong. 

I  support  voluntary  prayer  in 
schools,  tax  credits  for  private 
education  and  the  right  of 
people  to  choose  the  second- 
ary or  higher  educational  insti- 


tution they  wish  to  attend  i 
believe  deeply  about  mv 
principle  and  I  will  remain 
true  to  those  priniples  for  the  ' 
whole  six  years  I'm  in  the  J 
Senate."

Fasior  Gordon  Bietz 


It  is  not  often  that  one  gets  to 
lalk  with  a  famous  theologian 
and  when  granted  a  rare 
opportunity  to  gain  some  in- 
sight into  the  world  of  theol- 
ogy 1  couldn't  pass  up  the 
chance.  Dr.  Nagstrovokskey, 
world  renowned  authority  on 
issues  of  theology  had  only 
a  short  time  between  flights  in 
Atlanta  and  so  1  had  to  make 
my  questions  count.  The 
following  is  a  transcript: 

Bietz:  Mr.  Nagstrovokskey, 
that  is  how  you  pronounce 
your  name  isn't  it? 
Nagstrovokskey:  No! 
Bietz:  How  is  it  pronounced? 
Nagstrovokskey:  Nagstrovok- 
skey. 

Bietz:  1  see.   Could  1  call  you 
"Nag"  for  short? 
Nagstrovokskey:    Fine. 

Bietz:  Good.  Well,  Nag,  as 
you  survey  the  religious  scene 
today  what  issues  do  you  feel 
are  those  that  should  most 
concern  the  Christian  church? 


Nag:     It  seems  tome  that  the 
ecumenists  are  confusing  the 
epistemological     implications 
of  eschatology   with   its   exi- 
stential parameters. 
Bietz:      ?.?.?.?.?.?.?. 
Nag:       Ah,  Mr.  Bietz? 
Bietz:      Yes. 
Nag:      Are  you  with  me? 
Bietz:       It  depends 


you  ; 


.  No- 


Nag:  I  had  just  said  that  it 
seems  to  me  that  the  ecumen- 
ists are  confusing  the  episte- 
mological implications  of 
eschatology  with  its  existential 
parameters. 

Bietz:  I  was  afraid  that  that 
was  where  you  were.  Ah  .  .  . 
perhaps  you  could  go  into  a  bit 
more  detail. 

Nag:  Well  it   is  palpably 

apparent  to  me  that  these 
whilom  ecumenists  who  seek 
to  disaffirm  the  purality  of  the 
body,  see  the  eschaton  as  the 
solution      rather      then      the 


Bier/ 


»  afraid  you  c 


uld 


go  into  more  detail.  Moving 
right  along. .  .How  is  your 
family? 

Nag:  You  mean  the  family  of 
the  church? 

Bietz:      Why  yes,  of  course. 
Nag:      Well  the  family  of  the 
church  has  gravitated  into  the 
fixed  mode  of  being  unable  or 
incapable    of    differentiating 
between  a  catastrophic  escha- 
ton and  immanence.    You  can 
readily  see  what  difficulty  that 
leaves  them  in. 
Bietz:     I  certainly  can  see  the 
difficulty  it  leaves  me  in. 
Nag:        You  find  yourself  in 
this  difficult  situation? 
Bietz:      Well  it  is  not  exactly 
the  same  difficulty. 
Nag:      Ah,  I  see. 
Bietz:     Maybe  we  should  talk 
about  your  family. 
Nag:    Why  would  you  want  to 
do  that? 

Bietz:  Well  I  like  to  get  a 
little  background  on  the 
people  I  interview.     It  helps 

more    human    perspective. 


(Translation:     I  have  to  talk 

about  something  with  this  guy 

that  I  can  understand.) 

Nag:     What  do  you  wish  to 

know  about  my  family? 

Bietz:      You  married? 

Nag:      Yes. 

Bietz:      Children? 

Nag:   No. 

Bietz:       How  does  your  wife 

relate  to  the  work  of  a  world 

famous  theologian? 

Nag:      She  doesn't. 

Bietz:     You  mean  you  don't 

talk  about  your  work  with  her? 

Nag:    She  never  understands 

Bietz:        (under  my  breath) 

Neither  do  I. 

Bietz:      What  is  your  opinion 

about  arachibutyrophobia? 

Nag:   About  what? 

Bietz:      Arachibutyrophobia. 

Nag:    I  have  no  idea  what  that 

Bietz:  Really?  Arachibutyro- 
phobia is  the  fear  of  peanut 
butter  sticking  to  your  mouth. 
Nag:  What  does  that  have  to 
do  with  theology? 


Bietz:  I'm  not  sure,  but  it  is  a 
word  I  learned  last  week  and 
thought  you  could  put  it  in 
your  repertoire. 

So  much  for  our  fictitious 
interview  with  the  famous  Dr. 
Nagstrovokskey.  Though  this 
interview  is  a  bit  far  fetched  I 
sometimes  wonder  if  we  don't 
miss  the  simple  message  of 
the  gospel  in  rather  artfully 
de-gook.  We  are  concerned 
about  so  many  things  and 
never  really  rejoice  in  the 
message  of  the  Gospel.  Like 
Martha,  we  busy  ouselves 
with  many  things  theologically 
and  Jesus  says  to  us,  "you  are 
worried  and  upset  about  many 
things,  but  only  one  thing  is 
needed."   (Luke  10:41-42) 

One  thing  is  needed — Jesus. 
Study  about,  pray  to,  and  love 
Him  as  best  you  can  and  you 
will  loose  your  arachibutryo- 
phobia  as  well  as  any  other 
fears  that  haunt  you.

Raccoons  are  positively 
charming  animals  to  observe, 
being  clever,  industrious, 
clean  and  fun-loving.  Around 
a  camp,  however,  they  are 
also  quite  mischievous — too 
noisy  and  far  too  prone  to 
larceny  to  endear  themselves 
to  everyone.  For  example,  an 
unguarded  or  carelessly  laid 
pack  or  grocery  box  is  almost 
certain  to  be  investigated  by 
one  or  more  of  these  cheeky 
bandits.  Buckets,  pans  and 
cans  are  most  likely  to  be 
overturned  in  the  middle  of 
the  night,  which  is  hardly 
conducive  to  a  good   night's 

But  for  all  his  antics,  the 
raccoon  enjoys  a  place  of 
honor  among  the  nation's 
outdoorsmen,  who  admire  him 
for  his  general  intelligence, 
his  adaptability  to  a  changing 
environment,      his      sporting 


qualities  and  simply  because 
of  his  familiarity  to  young  and 
old  alike.  He  is  an  integral 
part  of  the  American  outdoor 
scene,  a  symbol  of  the  vanish- 
ing wilderness. 

Raccoons  vary  in  color  and 
size  depending  on  habitat. 
The  two  most  commonly  rec- 
ognized features  are  its  black 
mask  across  the  eyes  and  its 
ringed  tail.  The  reccoon  is  up 
to  36  inches  long,  stands  9  to 
12  inches  high  at  the  shoulder, 
and  has  a  10-inch  tail.  The 
average  adult  has  a  chunky 
body  and  usually  weighs 
between  15  and  18  pounds, 
while  unusually  large  males 
may  exceed  25  pounds. 

Raccoons  are  plantigrade  and 
walk  on  the  entire  foot.  The 
soles  of  their  feet  are  jet 
black. 

ve    no    farther 
necessary    in    order    to 


meet   the    demands   of   their 
appetites.    During  the  breed- 


ing 


,.iay  wander  as  far  l_ 
miles.  Females  seldom  travel 
more  than  a  half  mile  from 
their  den  sites. 

The  breeding  season  takes 
place  during  January,  Febru- 
ary or  March,  depending  on 
the  section  of  the  country. 
Most  raccoons  are  bred  in 
February.  The  males  are  poly- 
gamous, seeking  several 
mates,  while  the  females 
usually  accept  only  the 
advances  of  a  single, 
preferred  male.  Most  females 
will  breed  when  they  are  nine 
to  ten  months  old.  Males 
breed  usually  as  yearlings,  or, 
perhaps  more  so  as  they 
approach  their  second  year. 

Raccoons  have  a  gestation 
period  of  63-64  days.  The 
young  weigh  about  two  and  a 


half  ounces  and,  although 
fully  furred,  their  eyes  are 
sealed  shut.  A  litter  contains 
from  two  to  seven  young,  four 
being  the  most  i 


The  normal  life  span  of  a 
raccoon  is  between  seven  and 
ten  years.  Besides  man,  the 
raccoon's  worst  enemy  is  the 
dog.  Fights  between  the  two 
are  ferocious  and  bloody.  A 
dog  that  follows  a  raccoon  into 
the  water  is  committing  sui- 
cide. The  raccoon  will  climb 
on  top  of  the  dog's  head  and 
grasping  the  head  lightly  i 


hold  it  beneath  th 
water,  while  the  raccoon  wil 
be  able  to  breathe  from  it 
elevated  perch. 


The  raccoon  has  shared  his 
wilderness  with  the  red  man; 
he  was  undoubtedly  watching 
when  the  first  white  man's 
campfire  was  lit  on  these 
shores;  he  helped  feed  and 
clothe  the  early  settlers  and 
explorers;  he  has  moved  over 
to  make  room  for  sprawling 
cities;  he  is  surviving  a 
nightly  sacrifice  of  his  kind  on 
the  endless  concrete  altars 
built  across  the  land,  even 
through  his  beloved  swamps 
and  marshes;  and  from  the 
salt  water  marshes  of  Merritt 
Island,  Fla.,  he  watches  every 
rocket  being  launched  at  Cape  i 
Kennedy,  having  somehow 
held  on  to  a  ringside  seat  to 
the  space  age.

If  you're  feeling  the  same 
way  I  am,  the  answer  must  be 
'bored.'  Vacation's  still  a 
ways  off,  and  mid-terms  are 
over.  So  what's  left?  Being  a 
caring  individual,  concerned 
over  the  health  and  welfare  of 
my  fellow  SCSDA-ites,  maybe 
the  following  suggestions  will 
help  brighten  your  otherwise 
bleak  existences. 

Call  up  the  deans  and  ask 
them  if  they're  aware  that 
there's  a  roach  problem. 

Take  your  Joker  to  the  post 
office.  See  how  many  faces 
you   can   match   up  with   the 


"wanted"  pictures. 

Stand  in  the  Sabbath  lunch 
line.  Count  how  many  people 
cut  in  front  of  you.  See  if  it 
adds  up  the  nation's  GNP. 

Sing  "If  you're  happy  and 
you  know  it  stomp  your  feet" 
with  40  other  guys  on  the  third 
floor  Friday  night.  Look  very 
innocent  when  the  second  and 
first  floors  pay  a  visit. 

Send  yourself  mail. 

Walk  up  to  someone  on  Nerd 
Day  and  say  "Wow!  What  a 
wild  get-up!"  Make  sure  they 
don't  look  any  different  than 
other  days. 


Call  up  the  CK  and  order  two 
large  pizzas.    Go  to  sleep. 

Count  how  many  times 
"E.O.  Grundset"  appears  in 
every  "Chatter."  Make  a 
five-volume  collection. 

Hold  a  stereo  contest.  See 
whose  speakers  are  the  loud- 
est. Make  sure  it  is  study  hall. 

Call  4014  or  4677.  Try  to  hold 
a  conversation. 

Conduct  a  poll  on  your  hall  to 
see  who  is  the  favorite  dean. 
Call  the  dean  at  3  a.m.  with 
the  good  news. 

Start  sending  out  Valentines. 

Hang  around  the  CK.    Order 


nothing.  Yell  "Here!"  for 
every  number  called  out. 

Visit  a  married  couple.  Tell 
them  you're  there  for  a 
Marriage  and  the  Family 
project.  Inspect  their  fridge 
and  TV  for  a  few  hours. 
Forget  project. 

Announce  a  contest  to  see 
which  theology  major's  brief 
case  is  the  largest. 

Get  the  prettiest  girl  in 
school  to  play  racquetball  with 
you.  Try  to  knock  out  the 
lights  in  the  court. 

Get  married.  It's  awakened 
lots  of  people. 


Call  the  Mercantile.  Ask  if 
they  have  Prince  Albert  in  a 
can.  If  they  say  "Yes,"  you'd 
better  turn  on  your  tape 
recorder. 

Go  trick-or-treating  in 
Collegedale.  Insist  on  choco- 
late, not  carob. 

Be  daring.  Go  to  a  movie. 
Try  not  to  be  surprised  at  all 
the  other  daring  people  from 
SC. 

Of  course,  this  list  is  only  a 
supplement  to  the  bigger  one 
that  most  of  you  have.  But  as 
a  last  resort  to  help  boredom, 
try  studying.    -  '•■  -

BECA  increases  alumni  donations 


Southern  College  received 
$49,500  from  BECA,  the  Busi- 
ness Executive's  Challenge  to 
Alumni.  The  money  was 
presented  to  Dr.  Frank  Knittel 
at  the  Sixth  Annual  Dinner  for 
Philanthrophy  in  Washington, 
D.  C.  on  October  28.  The 
award  is  part  of  a  two  million 
dollar  fund  designed  to  pro- 
mote alumni  giving  to  their 
alma  mater. 

The  BECA  program  has  been 
very  successful  at  Southern 
College.  During  the  1979-80 
school  year,  only  six  percent  of 
SC's  alumni  contributed  funds 
to  the  college.  The  BECA 
program  began  the  following 
year.  Participation  jumped  to 
fifteen  percent  of  alumni  and 
contributions  increased  to 
S84.844. 

The  goal  for  this  school  year 
is  $100,000  according  to  Dr. 
Wayne  Thurber,  director  of 
Public  Relations.  "BECA  gets 
us  moving,"  Dr.  Thurber 
says.  "We  will  meet  the 
challenge  but  it's  not  going  to 
be  easy. 


The  BECA  program  was 
started  in  1979  by  a  group  of 
Adventist  business  and  pro- 
fessional people  who  wanted 
to  see  alumni  support  increase 
from  the  6.5  percent  level  to 
the  least  national  average  of 
24  percent. 

BECA  is  based  on  the  incen- 
tive system.  Each  college  is 
challenged  to  reach  donor  and 
dollar  goals  greater  than  the 
previous  year.  The  incentive 
to  reach  these  goals  is  money 
from  the  BECA  fund,  awarded 
in  two  ways.  BECA  will  match 
alumni  money  above  the  pre- 
vious year,  dollar-for-dollar, 
up  to  a  certain  limit.  It  also 
will  give  each  college  money 
for  new  donors  to  the  college's 
annual  fund,  up  to  a  pre- 
determined number. 

The  BECA  program  will  be 
phased  out  in  1985.  A  new 
program,  The  Class  Perform- 
ance Program,  began  in  1982 
and  consists  of  class  agents 
corresponding  with  their 
peers,'  asking  them  to  support 
their  alma  mater.    According 


to  Dr.  Thurber,  the  graduating 
classes  of  SC  will  be  compet- 
ing in  this  inducement  pro- 
gram. Two  classes  will  be 
honored  for  the  highest  per- 
centage of  participation  and 
the  highest  per  capita  giving. 


Tiie  bottom  line  for  BECA 
and  The  Class  Performance 
Program  is  to  raise  money  for 
scholarships.  According  to 
Dr.  Thurber,  SC  has  over 
$100,000  in  an  endowment 
fund  and  is  working  to  raise 


more.  "We  use  the  money  we 
receive  in  the  area  that  needs 
it    most,"    Thurber    says. 
"Right  now,  we  need  student 
scholarships." 


Hyde  to  head   religion    department 


The  SC  Religion  Department 
will  undergo  a  change  in  its 
chairmanship  this  coming 
January.  Elder  Gordon  Hyde, 
former  Field  Secretary  of  the 
Genera]   Conference  and   Di- 

r  ofjhe  Biblical  Research 
Institute,  will  succeed  Elder 
Douglas  Bennett,  the  depart- 

'  j  current  chairman. 


According  to  Elder  A.C. 
McClure,  Southern  Union 
President  and  chairman  of  the 
SC  board,  Elder  Hyde,  who 
taught  at  SC  from  1956-1969 
and  was  the  head  of  the 
Religion  and  Communications 
Depart: 

greatly  loved.   He  is  a  scholar 
,  teacher.    Because 


of  his  background  and  move 
back  to  Georgia  to  work  on  the 
adult  Sabbath  School  lesson 
quarterly,  his  proximity  and 
availability  was  attractive  to 
the  college."  Elder  McClure 
went  on  to  explain  that  the 
addition  of  Elder  Hyde  was 
simply  an  intention  to 
strengthen  the  department. 
"I  want  to  make  clear  that  as 
far  as  Elder  Bennett  goes,  I 
and  the  board  have  the  utmost 
confidence  in  him  and  have 
had  no  questions  about  him." 
Elder  Bennett,  who  has  been 
the  chairman  for  the  past  ten 
years,  explained  that  he  "had 
offered  a  resignation  during 
the  1981-1982  school  year  and 
had  been  trying  to  get  out  of 
the  chairmanship.  So,  I  am  not 
unhappy  about  it,  and  I  will 
still  be  teaching,  which  is  what 
I  enjoy  most. 
Elder  Hyde  will  be  returning 
to  a  position  that  is  not 
unfamiliar  to  him.  It  is  one 
■  that  he  held  during  part  of  the 
13  years  that  he  taught  at  SC. 
Born  in  England  and  the 
youngest  of  13  children  to 
parents  who  were  among  the 
early    Advent  ists 


Britain,  Elder  Hyde  explains 
himself  as  having  "been  char- 
acterized as  a  conservative  of 
the  conservatives."  Express- 
ing that  he  doesn't  really 
worry  about  it  much,  he  went 
'I  feel  that  we  have 


We 


Great 


have  parents  that  are  looking 
to  us  with  great  expectations. 
We  may  not  be  able  to  resolve 
problems  that  have  accumu- 
lated over  a  period  of  years  in 
a  student's  life,  but  we'd 
certainly  like  to  do  our  best." 
Expecting  to  have  an  open 
door  to  his  office  at  all  times, 
Elder  Hyde  stated,  "I  want  to 
do  my  best  to  find  a  unified 
position  of  what  I  believe  to  be 
the  sound  and  traditional 
Adventist  positions,  and  I 
have  a  feeling,  though  I 
haven't  asked  them  individ- 
ually, that  that  is  the  goal  of 
the  rest  of  the  people  in  this 
department." 
When  asked  to  comment  on 
the  current  criticism  that  the 
department  has  been  receiv- 
ing Elder  Hyde  said,  "I'm  not 
sympathetic  with  some  of  the 
methods  that  have  been  used 
to  attack  the  department,  al- 


though I  realize  that  the 
teacher  is  very  much  'king  in 
his  castle'.. .and  it's  not  easy 
to  learn  what  is  going  on  in  a 
classroom  in  any  objective  way 
because  no  two  students  hear- 
ing the  same  thing  hear  it 
exactly  the  same  way. ..We 
have  some  very  able  teachers 
in  our  department,  some  of 
the  best  qualified  in  the 
country.  From  that  standpoint 
we  don't  have  to  take  a 
backseat  to  anyone.  Our 
greatest  need  is  to  continue 
the  good  year  that  we  are 
having," 
Elder  Hyde  graduated  from 
Newbold  College  with  a 
ministerial  diploma  and  then 
from  Andrews  University  in 
1942  with  a  BA  in  Theology. 
Ordained  in  1946,  he  was  a 
pastor-evangelist  in  the  Wis- 
consin Conference  for  five 
years  before  returning  to  his 
homeland  and  working  in  the 
South  England  Conference  foi 
another  five  years.  After 
teaching  at  Wisconsin  Acad- 
emy for  four  years,  he  came  to 
SC  in  1956,  and  it  was  throuj;!.

And  justice  for  all? 

In  the  four  and  one  half  years  I've  lived  in  Collegedale  I 
h^ve  heard  some  bad  reports  about  the  Collegedale  Pohce 
Department.  But  I  assumed  the  people  complaining  were  m 
the  wrong  and  deserved  what  they  got.  An  incident  that 
happened  on  October  27,  however,  made  me  reconsider  my 
stand  on  the  local  police  department  and  question  their 
motives  and  abilities  to  enforce  the  laws  properly. 
On  October  11,  Officer  Shanko  saw  a  moped  nder  «"th»u" 
helmet  driving  down  Camp  Road.  He  d.dn  t  bother  to  ticket 
the  offender  but  wrote  out  the  ticket,  asked  Dean  Evans  who 
owned  a  moped  with  Texas  tags,  and  told  the  dean  to  give  the 
ticket  to  the  moped's  owner,  Greg  Wheeler. 
Three  days  later,  Wheeler  found  the  ticket  on  his  dresser. 
The  time  for  the  alleged  offense  was  4:00  p.m  when, 
according  to  witnesses,  Wheeler  was  playing  football. 
On  October  26,  Wheeler  went  down  to  the  police 
department  to  discuss  the  citation  and  the  court  appearance 
the  next  day.  He  never  signed  the  ticket  or  agreed  to  come  to 
court  the  next  day. 

At  11:00  p.m.  on  Wednesday,  October  27,  Wheeler  was 
sleeping  in  his  room  when  the  police  awakened  him  and 
placed  him  under  arrest  for  failure  to  appear  in  court.  The 
police  failed  to  read  Wheeler  his  rights,  which  is  required  by 
the  Miranda  ruling  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court. 
They  then  took  him  to  the  squad  car  and  handcuffed  him. 
Wheeler  was  not  drunk,  nor  was  he  high  on  drugs.  Although 
Wheeler  did  not  feel  the  arrest  was  justified,  he  did  not  put 
up  a  fight.  Justice  has  not  been  served  when  a  student  is 
treated  like  a  common  criminal  for  allegedly  not  wearing  a 
helmet  on  a  moped. 
Next  the  police  took  Wheeler  to  the  police  station  and  held 
him  there  for  two  hours  until  a  bail  bondsman  could  come 
from  Chattanooga  and  arrange  Wheeler's  release. 
This  incident  really  makes  one  wonder  about  the  level  of 
competence  of  the  Collegedale  police.  When  an  officer  has 
nothing  better  to  do  than  ticket  moped  riders  then  not  even 
bother  to  give  the  ticket  to  him,  he  had  better  check  out  his 
priorities.  Unless  some  drastic  policy  and/or  personnel 
changes  are  made  in  Collegedale  Police  Department,  the 
level  of  confidence  in  their  work  will  continue  to  plunge.

Dear  Editor, 
In  response  to  the  letter 
concerning  3.00  GPA,  I  feel 
compelled  to  reply.  To  fairly 
answer  the  question  of  why  a 
3.00  is  required,  the  purpose 
of  the  study  hall  program  must 
be  considered,  along  with  a 
little  history  of  SC. 
Two  years  ago,  the  adminis- 
tration of  SC  took  a  close  look 
at  the  performance  of  the 
freshman  class  in  terms  of 
academic  success.  With  an 
alarmingly  high  ratio  of  stu- 
dents below  a  2.00  GPA,  along 
with  an  equally  high  ratio  of 
dropouts  at  the  semester,  they 
felt  it  necessary  to  implement 
some  program  which  would 
hopefully  encourage  the  in- 
,  coming  freshmen  to  greater 
heights  of  academic  achieve- 
ment and  increase  the  possi- 
bility of  these  students  staying 
in  school.  Let  me  add  this  was 
not  a  one-year  problem  but 
rather  had  been  growing  in 
the  past  years.  With  this  aim, 
the  freshman  support  program 
was  begun  "to  provide,  to  the 
greatest  extent  feasible,  the 
kind  of  academic,  personal, 
financial  and  social  support 
which  will  maximize  the  pro- 


bability of  a  student 
fully  completing  his/her  fresh- 
man year  of  college." 

The  intent  was  to  run  a 
program  for  one  semester. 
But  if  the  student  could  attain 
a  2.25  GPA,  he  would  be 
allowed  off.  Well,  the  first 
half  of  the  semester  was 
considered  a  success  in  terms 
of  attendance  and  attitude  of 
the  freshmen,  but  the  second 
half  hardly  short  of  chaos.  The 
morale  of  many  left  or 
dropped  due  to  the  "dummy" 
image  they  obtained,  for  after 
all,  "you  must  be  an  idiot  if 
you  can't  get  a  2.25!"  So  at 
the  end  of  the  year  the 
program  was  reevaluated.  It 
was  felt  by  the  administration 
that  the  required  grade  level 
should  be  raised  sufficiently 
so  that  rather  than  being  an 
"indicator  of  stupidity"  for 
those  left  on  (with  the  requi- 
site GPA  of  under  2.25),  it 
would  instead  be  a  reward  for 
those  who  excelled.  Thus  3.00 
was  arrived  at  by  the  adminis- 
tration. This  fit  better  into  the 
original  plan  which  was  to  run 
the  program  forfirst^semester 
of  each  year.    If  the  program 

was  intended  to  run  for  half  a 


then  it  would  be 
"punishment"  for  those  who 
didn'i  receive  the  required 
grade  level  to  get  off,  but  in 
light  of  the  fact  that  ii  is 
intended  for  one  semester,  the 
attainment  of  3.00  GPA  is 
rewarded  by  "release"  from 
study  hall.  The  magic  number 
of  3.00  was  not  arrived  at  I 
through  use  of  any  statistical  ! 
formulas  or  theory,  but  rather 
through  an  evaluation  of  last 
year's  program  by  the  admin- 
istration, which  revealed  the 
above-mentioned  flaw.  As  \ 
was  done  after  last  year,  this 
year's  program  will  be  eval- 
uated and  possibly  the  re-  ! 
quired  grade  level  will  be 
changed. 

In  closing,  despite  the  flaws 
in  the  program  last  year, 
overall  it  was  considered  a 
success.  It  is  interesting  to 
note,  in  support  of  that  state- 
ment, that  last  year  the  school 
recorded  the  lowest  freshmeo 
dropout  rate  at  the  semester 
for  the  past  ten  years.  The 
average  GPA  of  freshmen  was 

also  UP-  c-  „„«=1v    l

Dear  Editor, 
1  am  perturbed,  to  say  the 
least,  at  the  recent  actions  of 
the  Collegedale  Police  De- 
partment. It  seems  that  our 
men  in  blue  have  decided  to 
go  to  extreme  measures  to 
catch  desperate  criminals  by 
using  our  deans  to  hand  out 
tickets.  They  also  have  come 
into  Talge  Hall  on  a  recent 
occasion  to  wake  up  and  arrest 
my  roommate  for  skipping  his 
court  date.  During  the  arrest, 
Officer  Shanko  failed  to  read 
Mr.  Wheeler  his  rights  prior 
to  handcuffing;  they  failed  to 
read   him   his   rights   at   any 


Mr.  Wheeler  decided  not  to 
go  to  court  because  he  was 
never  caught  by  local  author- 
ities. He  was  playing  football 
during  the  time  the  ticket 
states  (with  three  witnesses  to 
prove  it).  He  never  signed  the 
part  of  the  ticket  that  says,  "I 
promise  to  appear  in  said 
court  or  bureau  at'  said  time 
and  place." 

The  ticket  itself  is  for  riding  a 
moped  without  a  helmet. 

Mr.  Wheeler's  next  court 
date  is  November  10  at  9:00 
A.M.  Let's  all  show  our 
support  for  Greg  and  show  up 
at  the  courthouse.  Let's  let 
the  Collegedale  police  force 


know  that  we  won't  stand '« 
this  kind  of  inexcusable 
cedure.  ...    '

merit  Service"  nearly  every 
day  io  check  the  board  for 
posted  jobs  and  to  inquire 
about  certain  jobs. 
After  several  disappoint- 
ments (hours  conflicting  w'.h 
class  schedule  jobs  already 
filled,  etc.)  I  thought  that  I  had 
finally  been  fortunate  enough 
to  discover  a  newly  posted  job 
which  did  not  conflict  with  my 
class  schedule,  when  I  applied 
for  a  job  as  a  cafeteria  server 
on  Monday,  Tuesday,  and 
Thursday  mornings. 

I  was  elated.  I  rushed  to  the 
cafeteria  and  pushed  my  way 
through  the  line  of  students 
waiting  for  the  cafeteria  to 
begin  serving  and  requested 
to  see  the  person  I  had  been 
directed  to  meet  with.  Yes, 
the  job  was  still  open. 
But  as  I  began  to  fill  out  the 
application,  I  was  told  to  be 
sure  and  mark  that  I  was 
willing  to  work  on  Sabbaths.  I 
laid  my  pencil  down.  I 
replied  that  I  had  been 
informed  that  the  job  was  only 
for  Monday,  Tuesday,  and 
Thursday  mornings.  I  was 
told  that  it  was  required  that 
everyone  must  work  one  Sab- 
bath a  month.  I  kindly 
returned  the  application  and 
said  '  'Thank  you' '  but  I 
couldn't  take  the  job. 
Later  as  I  reflected  on  this 


incident,  I  recalled  when, 
shortly  after  my  baptism  three 
years  ago,  I  had  been  fired 
from  a  job  when  I  had  refused 
to  work  on  the  Sabbath.  That 
job  had  always  been  a  Monday 
through  Friday  job  and  week- 
end work  was  certainly  a 
rarity,  but  my  religious  convic- 
tions carried  no  weight  with 
my  employer.  I  know  that 
there  is  a  special  department 
within  our  church  (Religious 
Liberty  Department)  which 
aids  those  who  lose  their  jobs 
because  of  Sabbath  work  prob- 
lems. Despite  this  and  the 
fact  that  I  had  a  family  to 
support,  I  decided  not  to  cry 
"Discrimination!"  but  rather 
to  trust  the  Lord  to  supply  our 
needs,  which  He  has. 
I  believe  this  recent  situation 
is  different,  however.  My 
previous  employer  did  not 
acknowledge  or  even  recog- 
the  claims  of  the  Sabbath. 


This 


t  the  t 


t  SC. 


My  purpose  in  writing  this 
letter  is  again,  not  to  cry 
"Discrimination!"  or  to  cause 
unrest  among  the  cafeteria 
employees.  Rather  it  is  to 
bring  to  light  a  much-abused, 
over-rationalized  argument 
that  being  employed  by  the 
denomination  excuses  Sab- 
bath work  activities  because  a 
person  is  "doing  the  Lord's 


There  is  no  doubt  that  many 
who  are  employed  in  this 
manner  sincerely  believe  this 
to  be  true.  However,  one  has 
only  to  research  and  read  the 
many  references  found  in  the 
Index  to  the  Writings  jinder 
the  heading  SABBATH,  Sub- 
heading #22,  Use  of,  and  find 
that  this  is  not  the  case. 
While  Sister  White  did  say 
that  life's  necessities  must  be 
attended  to  on  the  Sabbath 
and  that  sanitarium  patients, 
doctors,  and  nurses  must  be 
fed,  she  called  for  the  closing 
of  SDA  restaurants  (which 
were  operated  primarily  for 
missionary  purposes)  and 
spoke  against  doing  any  un- 
necessary work  on  the  Sab- 
bath. 

As  Seventh-day  Adventists, 
we  recognize  that  the  medical 
missionary  work  is  one  which 
God  approves  on  the  Sabbath. 
Yet  even  in  this  work  she 
warned,  "Ordinary  treatment, 
and  operations  that  can  wait, 
should  be  deferred  till  the  next 
day."  (MM  214)  Feeding  SC 
students  and  faculty  could 
hardly  be  called  an  act  of 
mercy  by  any  stretch  of  the 
imagination. 
It  would  be  wrong  of  me  to 
write  this  letter  without  sug- 
gesting a  few  possible  solu- 
tions to  this  problem.  After 
all,   students   should   not   be 


expected  to  fast  every  Sab- 
bath, although  occasional  fast- 
ing would  provide  better 
health  for  many. 

First,  students  should  make 
necessary  arrangements  to 
prepare  for  the  Sabbath  by 
having  food  on  hand  for  the 
Sabbath.  This  is  made  easier 
by  the  fact  that  refrigerators 
are  allowed  in  the  dorms  and 
there  are  cooking  facilities 
also. 

Second,  area  church  mem- 
bers should  provide  an  occa- 
sional meal  for  a  student  or 
group  of  students.  Most 
people  in  Collegedale  are  de- 
pendent on  the  college  in 
some  respect  and  enjoy  its 
benefits.  What  more  appro- 
priate way  of  expressing  a 
grateful  heart  for  God's  many 
blessings  than  to  invite  a 
student  (many  of  whom  would 
go  home  every  weekend  if 
they  could  because  of  home- 
sickness) to  your  home  for  a 
Sabbath  afternoon  dinner. 

A  third  alternate  (certainly 
not  ideal,  but  perhaps  better 
than  the  present  situation) 
would  be  to  follow  the  practice 
of  Southwestern  Adventist 
College  at  Keene,  Texas. 
Sabbath  breakfast  consists  of 
cereal  or  pastries  which  re- 
quires a  bare  minimum  of 
workers.  Likewise,  Sabbath 
dinner  and  supper  consists  of 


cold  cut  sandwiches,  chips, 
fruit,  a  drink,  and  other  good- 
ies prepared  on  Friday,  placed 
in  paper  bags,  and  refrigera- 
ted. These  meals,  while 
providing  less  fare  than  a  hot 
meal,  would  undoubtedly  be 
appreciated  as  an  alternative 

I'm  sure  that  most  SC  stu- 
dents do  not  enjoy  seeing 
cafeteria  workers  having  to 
work  so  hard  on  God's  holy 
day  to  provide  them  with  a 
nourishing  meal.  I  think  that 
most  SC  students  would  rather 
"suffer"  by  eating  a  cold 
lunch  or  make  previous 
arrangements  for  Sabbath 
meals  than  to  cause  others  to 
have  to  work  on  the  Sabbath.  I 
would  encourage  those  in 
responsible  positions  to  consi- 
der this  problem  and  work 
toward  a  solution  that  is  more 
consistent  with  the  principles 
of  our  faith. 

For  any  students  who  are 
convicted  about  this  matter 
and  are  unable  for  one  reason 
or  another  to  make  other 
arrangements,  see  me  a  few 
days  in  advance  so  that  my 
wife  can  be  prepared  and  have 
Sabbath  dinner  with  us. 

Sincerely, 
Stephen  R.  Morris 


Prison  ministries--  a  growing  need 


Prison.  What  comes  to  your 
mind  at  the  mention  of  the 
word?  Dark  and  gloomy 
edifices  silhouetted  on  rocky 
mountaintops  .  .  .  lonely  grey 
buildings  isolated  in  desolate 
military-like  wasteland 

surrounded  by  rows  of  barbed 
wire  strung  between  towering 
guard  stations  .  .  .  warehouses 
for  the  scum  of  society,  the 
rejects  of  the  human  race,  the 
derelicts,  the  incorrigibles. 
And  on  the  inside-cold 
cement  floors,  peeling  walls 
painted  institutional  green 
and  battleship  grey,  dirty 
sunlight  filtering  through  high 
cobwebbed  windows,  casting 
everywhere  the  shadows  of 
metal  bars,  making  up  rows 
and  rows  of  cells,  each  cell 
containing  a  persoTT  who  was 
convicted  of  a  crime-robbery, 
murder-a  person  who  has  by 


choice  or  by  circumstance 
become  a  hardened  criminal,  a 
person  who  was  sentenced  to 
spend  up  to  as  long  as  the  rest 
of  his  life  isolated  from  the 
world,  but  nonetheless,  a  per- 
son with  a  soul.  Did  the  final 
clang  of  the  prison  bars  as  that 
person  was  locked  up  signal 
the  end  of  his  chance  for 
salvation?  No!  At  least,  not  in 
God's  sight.  But  before  a 
prisoner  can  accept  God  and 
His  forgiveness,  he  must  first 
be  given  the  opportunity  to 
hear  about  Him--and  that  is 
the  reason  for  Prison  Minis- 

Dr.  Lorenzo  Grant,  who  for 
several  years  has  been  in-

tells  the  following  story: 

"I  was  working  with  the 
Hamilton  County  Jail  when  I 
found   out   about    a    prisoner 


there  who  had  been  at  CUC 
the  same  time  I  was.  In  fact, 
we  had  both  been  in  the  same 
class,  Old  Testament  Studies, 
but  since  he  had  sat  on  the 
back  row  and  I  on  the  firs"t,  T 
didn't  remember  who  he 
was."  Anyway,  now  he  was  in 
the  Hamilton  County  Jail 
being  held  for  murder. 

"For  three  months  this  guy 
attended  our  meetings,  sitting 
silent  as  a  tomb  on  the  back 
row.  He  never  said  a  word 
and  he  seemed  to  have  an 
attitude  of  hostility,  but  still 
he  came,  and  that  intrigued 
me.  It  became  a  challenge  to 
me  to  reach  him. 

"I  never  looked  at  him  when 
I  preached  —  he's  the  kind  of 
guy  you  don't  look  at  —  but  I 
preached  my  sermons  with 
him  in  mind  and  directed  my 
comments  at  him. ^^^ 


"Then  I  stopped  going  to  the 
jail  for  awhile?  and  when  I 
resumed  my  visitation  he  was 
gone.  I  thought  I'd  never  hear 
from  him  again. 

"But  then  I  started  receiving 
letters  from  him.  He  had  been 
transferred  to  the  State  Peni- 
tentiary in  Nashville.  His  first 
letter  was  a  real  shock.  He 
told  me  that  he  had  listened  to 
every  word  I  had  said  back  in 
the  Hamilton  County  Jail  — 
he  had  memorized  those  ser- 
mons! Some  of  (hem  he  could 
practically  repeat  word  for 
word.  According  to  him,  that 
was  the  turning  point  in  his 
life. 

'.'Now  he  is  in  charge  of 
'Seventh  Step,'  a  remotiva- 
tion  program  at  the  Nashville 
State  Penitentiary.  It  is  so 
exciting  to  see  the  change  in 
his  life.     I  think  that  he  is 


going 


to    be 

.vhen  he 


Not  every  prisoner  who  is 
witnessed  to  in  a  Prison  Minis- 
tries program  is  going  to  make 
such  a  complete  turnaround. 
But  the  witness  does  affect  in 
a  positive  way  the  prison  as  a 
whole.  When  a  group  from 
the  outside  begins~reaching 
out  and  spending  their  time 
with  the  prisoners,  it  tends  to 
humanize  the  whole  place. 
Morale  of  both  inmates  and 
staff  improves.  Fights  break 
out  less  often,  and  the  prison 
becomes^  cleaner  and  more 
habitable. 

Every  Sabbath  afternoon  at 
3:00,  a  vanload  of  students 
leaves  from  in  front  of  Lynn 
Wood  Hall  and  goes  to  the 
Hamilton  County  Jail  for  an 
afternoon  of  witnessing  to 
the  inmates.  The  program 
involves  a  "singspiration" 
and  a  devotional  talk  and  is 
open  to  anyone  interested  in 
participating.

Should  Adventists  be  involved   in  politics? 


QJ 


res 


"The  Lord  knoweth  how  to 
deliver  the  godly  out  of  tempt- 
ations, and  to  reserve  the 
unjust  unto  the  day  of  judg- 
ment to  he  punished:  But 
chiefly  them  that  walk  after 
the  flesh  in  the  lust  of  unclean- 
liness,    and    despise   govern- 

Presumptuous  are  they,  self- 
willed,  they  are  not  afraid  to 
speak  evil  of  dignities."  (2 
Peter  2:  9-10)  Even  though 
the  government  referred  to 
here  is  one  represented  as 
Christ's  Lordship,  we  can 
apply  this  to  some  thoughts 
that  Christ  has  on  Christians 


participating  in  politics.  As 
soon  as  the  word  politics  is 
mentioned,  some  Christian 
"subculture"  feelings  of 
guilt,  fear,  and  animosity 
seem  to  run  rampant  in  the 
minds  of  many  dedicated 
Christians.  However,  it 
should  not  be  this  way. 
In  the  biblical  days,  govern- 
ment played  an  important  part 
in  everyone's  life,  both  Chris- 
tian and  non-Christian.  As 
documented  in  Luke  2,  we  see 
the  citizens  of  the  land  had  to 
go  to  their  own  cities  to  pay 
their  taxes,  not  exactly  like  we 
do  today,  but  they  did  pay 
taxes.  There  were  tax  collec- 
tors assigned  in  this  period  to 
take  care  of  these  very  §ame 
manner.  In  Luke  20:25  we 
find  probably  the  most  impor- 
tant admonition  for  supporting 
the  government  ever  found  in 
scripture.  That  is,  "Render 
unto  Caesar  the  things  which 
be  Caesar's  and  unto  God  the 
things  which  be  God's." 
What  more  specific  way  to  say 
to  the  people  "Support  your 


government  and  your  God" 
than  by  this? 
Alonzo  Trevier  Jones  in  his 
book  Christian  Patriotism  tells 
of  the  famed  Shadrach, 
Meshach,  and  Abednego  in 
the  furnace.  As  king  Nebu- 
chadnezzar watched  the  three 
boys  and  their  visitor  in  the 
oven,  his  heart  was  softened 
and  he  praised  God.  Jones 
says  "God  had  commanded  all 
nations  to  serve  the  King,  and 
whatsoever  nation  that  would 
not  serve  him  would  be 
punished."  From  this  event 
we  see  a  definite  separation  of 
church  and  state.  "In  making 
Nebuchadnezzer  king  of  na- 
tions, the  Lord  had  not  made 
him  king  of  the  religion  of  na- 
tions." (Jones,  Christian  Pa- 


i  the  example  of 
a  who  was  in  every 
t  Christian  but  yet 


We  see  ir 
Daniel  a  ma: 
way  a  devou 

government  circles.  Stephen 
Haskell  in  his  book  The  Story 
of  Daniel  the  Prophet  tells  us 
that  "the  Lord  is  pleased  to 


have  men  of  intelligence  in 
His  work  if  they  remain  true  to 
Him.  Through  the  grace  of 
Christ,  man  may  preserve  the 
integrity  of  his  character  when 
surrounded  by  adverse  cir- 
cumstances." We  do  see  a 
need  to  be  involved.  We  have 
to  use  the  mind  that  our 
Creator  gave  us  and  think  over 
issues.  Then  by  casting  our 
ballot,  we  have  actively  parti- 
cipated in  government. 
The  main  warning  given  to 
Christians  as  voters  was 
exemplified  in  the  writings  of 
Ellen  G.  White  in  her  book 
Testimonies  for  the  Church. 
We  cannot  be  rash  in  our 
voting.  Christians  have  to  lift 
the  marks  of  political  parties 
off  and  go  between  party 
lines.  "All  who  still  retain 
political  sentiments  which  are 
not  in  accordance  with  the 
spirit  of  truth  are  living  in 
violation  of  the  principles  of 
heaven."  This  gives  us  even  a 
more  important  role  in  voting 
for  we  have  to  exercise  more 
time,  more  thought,  and  look 


prestig- 


closer  and  study  harder  the 
issues  that  are  involved. 
Then  should  a  Christian 
vote?  Though  this  article  will 
be  printed  after  November  2, 
there  will  probably  be  more 
elections  on  which  we  will 
have  the  Christia 
ious  right  to  vc 
patriotism  is  the  spirit  that, 
originating  in  love  of  country, 
prompts  to  obedience  to  its 
laws:  to  the  support  and 
defense  of  its  existence, 
rights,  and  institutions;  and  to 
the  promotion  of  its  welfare. 
The  spirit  that  originates  in 
the  love  of  the  Christian's 
country  is  none  other  than  the 
Holy  Spirit.  For  without  being 
born  again,  there  can  be  no 
Christian;  and  there  being  no 
Christian,  there  can  be  no  love 
of  the  Christian's  country — no 
Christian  Patriotism."  (Jones 
Christian  Patriotism) 
So  only  the  dictates  of  your 
mind  can  help  you  to  exercise 
your  Christian  patriotism,  and 
if  you  love  your  country,  then 
you  must  participate.

^ttections 


I  can  remember  the  moment 
when  time  and  its  passage 
came  to  the  forefront  of  my 
thinking,  at  least  for  a 
moment.  I  was  in  the  sixth 
grade,  I  believe.  It  was  near 
the  end  of  the  school  year  and 
for  some  reason  a  number  of 
us  were  discussing  the  fact 
that  we  would  be  going  into 
academy  in  a  couple  of  years. 
My  mind  began  to  do  some 
mathematical  calculations  and 
I  said,  "Do  you  realize  that  in 
six  years  we  will  be  graduat- 
ing from  academy  and  in  a 
mere  ten  years  we  will  be 
finished  with  college  and  pro- 
bably be  married!" 

That  thought  did  not  impress 
my  sixth  grade  friends,  but  for 
a  brief  moment  the  rapid 
progress  of  time  was  etched 
on  my  mind.  I  guess  it  is  good 
thai  the  passage  of  time  is  not 
a  thought   that   occupies  our 


tinually  be  aware  of  time  is  to 
lose  it  by  watching  it.  But 
occasionally,  just  occasionally, 
we  should  look  at  the  passage 
of  time  (or  some  would  say  the 
march  of  events)  so  as  to  see 
our  lives  in  perspective. 

My  cousin's  husband  just 
had  his  40th  birthday.  She  had 
a  party  for  him.  It  was  the 
kind  of  party  where  "Happy 
Birthday"  was  sung  to  the 
tune  of  the  Volga  Boat  song. 
She  advertised  this  rite  of 
passage  as  a  funeral  for  her 
husband's  youth.  One  friend 
read  an  obituary  to  his  youth 
and  another  gave  the  funeral 
sermon.  I  wasn't  able  to 
attend,  but  I  can  imagine  the 
funeral  now. 

"Dear  friends,  we  are  gath- 
ered here  to  mourn  the  loss  of 
our  dear  friend's  youth.  No 
longer  will  he  be  able  to  enjoy 


his  youthful  vigor,  no  longer 
will  the  fresh  blush  of  youth 
grace  his  face,  or  the  trim 
fitness  of  youth  strengthen  his 
body.  All  of  this  has  been 
replaced  with  age  spots,  hair 
dye,  and  sore  muscles." 

It  sounds  a  bit  like  Solomon's 
plea  not  to  forget  your  Creator 
in  the  days  of  youth,  before  all 
the  weaknesses  of  old  age 
debilitate  the  vim,  vigor,  and 
vitality  of  life. 

As  a  culture  which  idolizes 
youth,  beauty,  and  physical 
prowess;  and  which  relegates 
those  of  old  age  to  a  rather  low 
place  on  the  totem  pole  of 
esteem,  such  a  funeral  has 
more    than    humorous    over- 

If  we  could  test  Einstein's 
theory  and  travel  at  near  the 
speed  of  light,  we  might  slow 
the  aging  process,  but  not 
having    such    technology    we 


must  seek  other  ways  to  slow 
Father  Time.  People  use 
many  things  from  diet  and 
exercise  to  cream  for  dissolv- 
ing age  spots  and  Oil  of  Olay. 
The  body  in  this  life  will 
always  be  subject  to  decay, 
but  in  John  6:47  it  says,  "He 
who  believes  has  everlasting 
life."  That  life  begins  the  day 
you  believe.  It  is  not  a 
biological  invulnerability  to 
the  onset  of  old  age,  but  it  is  a 
quality  of  existence  that  will 
never  end.  In  reality,  it  is  the 
quality  of  life  that  is  of 
significance  anyway,  for  those 
with  no  grasp  on  life's  quality 
are  anxious  for  their  lives  to 
end,  and  some  people  even 
take  their  own  lives.  But 
where  life  has  quality  it  never 
ends,  for  the  brief  hiatus  of 
death  is  no  more  an  interrup- 
tion to  eternal  life  than  a  good 
night's  sleep  is  to  our  earthly 


lives. 

Why  should  I  be  writing 
about  time  and  getting  older 
to  those  who  are  in  the  bloom 
of  youth.  Well,  I  guess  it 
relates  to  the  saying,  "Know- 
ing where  you  are  going  helps 
you  to  prepare  for  the  trip." 

Believe  it  or  not  all  of  you  are 
going  to  this  place  called  old 
age.  The  trip  there  is  as 
inevitable  as  the  earth's  cir- 
cuit around  the  sun.  It  is  a 
journey  with  much  pleasure 
when  properly  prepared  for. 
And  it  is  a  journey  of  much 
pain  and  suffering  when  not 
properly  prepared  for. 

The  proper  preparation  is  to 
believe  John  6:47  and  learn  to 
experience  the  quality  of  eter- 
nal life  that  Christ  died  to 
provide  us.  Living  with  that 
eternal  life  as  today's  posses- 
sion gives  today  a  quality  that 
is  never-ending. 


Peeke  directs 
student  employment 


Robert  Peeke  is  the  new 
Student  Employee  Adminis- 
trator at  SC.  The  Employ- 
ment office  has  been  formed 
to  assist  students  in  finding  a 
job  and  performing  it  satisfac- 
torily. To  do  this,  Peeke  is 
exploring  possibilities  of  on- 
and  off-campus  jobs.  A  job 
bank  is  being  formed  to  aid 
area  employers  and  students. 

Workshops  are  being  held  at 
academies  to  help  students 
with  writing  resumes  and 
organizing  class  schedules  for 
college.  Also,  on-campus 
workshops  are  held  once  a 
semester  for  SC  students  on 
how  to  write  resumes,  work 
for  promotions,  and  interview- 
ing. 

The  Employment  Office  will 
have  a  career  planning  library 
containing  information  of 
companies,  businesses,  hospi- 
tals, conferences,  and  how  to 
meet  these  job  qualifications. 

Another  goal  which  Peeke 
hopes  to  reach  is  an  internship 
Program.  This  program  would 
be  available  after  the  sopho- 
more year,  or  after  prerequi- 
Sl'es  are  completed.  Every 
°ther  semester,  a  student 
would  work  as  an  intern  in  his 
held  of  study.  Completing  a 
tour-year  degree  would  take 
t've  years,  but  the  graduate 
would  have  direct  exposure  to 
hls  chosen  career.  Also, 
k  Peeke  w°uld  like  to  obtain  the 


placement  book  for  jobs  from 
the  Dean  of  Students. 

The  Employment  Office,  now 
located  across  from  the  Test- 
ing and  Counseling  Center, 
will  be  moving  to  the  area 
between  the  playroom  and  the 
lounge. 

Peeke  feels  the  new  services 
will  benefit  those  students 
who  have  to  work  to  get  a 
college  education. 


Enrollment  stabilizes 


Enrollment  at  Southern 
College  dropped  only  36  stu- 
dents in  the  first  10  weeks  of 
classes.  "This  is  the  lowest 
attrition  rate  in  five  years," 
said  Dr.  Frank  Knittel,  pres- 
ident of  SC.  "We  are  very 
pleased  with  this  figure." 
Knittel  cited  the  free  summer 
tuition  as  a  factor  in  the  small 
drop.  Other  factors  include 
the  new  learning  center  and 
SC's  Testing  and  Counseling 
Center. 

Southern  College's  begin- 
ning enrollment  dropped  55 
from  last  year  but  the  figure  is 
small  compared  to  other  drops 
in  ether  Adventist  institutions 


such  as  Andrews   University 
and   Pacific  Union  College. 
Overall  the  Adventist  college 
and  university  system  had  a 
net  drop  of  750  students. 

Knittel  felt  that  enrollment 
drops  throughout  the  system 
are  due  to  a  lack  of  commit- 
ment to  the  proposition  of 
higher  education  on  the 
church  level.  "The  Seventh- 
day  Adventist  church  has 
become  much  more  urban," 
Knittel  says.  "The  church  is 
not  a  social  drawing  power. 
There  is  an  increasing  tenden- 
cy for  the  church  to  have  less 
influence  in  our  daily  lives."

no  additional  charge  to  inter- 
ested students. 
As  we  traveled  north  in 
England,  we  as  college-age 
tourists  were  especially  cur- 
ious to  visit  the  university 
towns  of  Oxford  and  Cam- 
bridge. I  personally  remem- 
ber keeping  an  eye  out  for  the 
inventor  of  the  oxford  shirt,  or 
at  least  a  pair  of  loafers  or 
khakis,  but  alasl  The  prep- 
piest  sight  observed  was  a 
young  man  dressed  in  a  white 
long-collared  shirt  and  black 
pants  (polyester?)  peddling 
down  the  street  on  a  bicycle. 
After  a  ferryboat  ride  across 
the  North  Sea,  three  pounds  of 
Dutch  chocolate,  and  a  visit  to 
the  red  light  capitol  of  the 
world,  Amsterdam,  we  found 
ourselves  in  Brugges,  Bel- 
gium.    Eating  Belgium  waf- 


fles, potato  fries,  riding  on 
and  carousing  up  and 
down  fourteenth  century  cob- 
blestone streets  didn't  exactly 
leave  us  feeling  "coast  soap" 
clean.  Naturally  we  were 
disappointed  when  our  hotel 
manager  informed  us  that 
under  no  uncertain  terms  were 
we  to  use  the  only  bathtub  in 
the  place.  "But  how  are  we 
supposed  to  fit  in  the  sink?"  I 
queried,  towel,  soap,  shampoo 
and  washcloth  in  hand. 
Judging  by  her  irate  response 
concerning  how  sloppy  young 
people  are,  there  was  obvious- 
ly no  point  in  continuing 
further. 
While  Sandra  Schiau  and 
Paul  Haerich  were  busily 
attending  every  concert,  ballet 
and  play  performance,  while 
Dr.  Wohlers  and  Dr.  Zuill 
were  surveying  local  pastry 
shops  and  some  of  us  were 
simply  trying  to  take  a  bath, 
others  like  Linda  Unruh  (who 


said  "I  do"  the  night  we 
returned)  and  Judi  Boles  (who 
got  married  July  25)  consider- 
ed mail  and  phone  calls  from 
the  U.S.  to  be  the  highlights  of 
their  trip. 
In  Paris  early  Sunday  morn- 
ing, American  tourist  Gerald 
Owens  came  to  our  hotel  to 
show  us  around  town.  Before 
leaving  on  our  sightseeing 
venture,  Gerald  gave  the  girls 
a  thorough  rundown  on  the 
perils  of  street  life  and  the 
dangers  of  smiling  at  strange 
French  men  (our  accommoda- 
tions were  only  a  few  blocks 
from  the  red  light  district).  He 
forgot  to  mention  children. 
Pam  Kenney  and  Laura 
Bianchi  were  greeted  by  two 
little  girls  in  a  Parisian  subway 
station  who  turned  out  to  be 
gypsy  beggar-thieves  intend- 
ing to  rid  them  of  their  purses 
or  other  valuable  possessions. 
Shocked,  Pam  and  Laura 
clung  to  their  belongings, 
preventing  any  loss. 
Storm  clouds  were  gathering 
the  afternoon  we  visited  the 
Versailles  Palace,  but  group 
members  were  surprised  to 
find  America's  own  NBC  tele- 
vision cameras  and  economic 
news  reporter  Irving  R.  Levine 
at  the  palace  gate  on  special 
assignment  preceding  Presi- 
dent Reagan's  visit  to  Ver- 
sailles. 

From  France  we  chugged  by 
train  through  Switzerland's 
snow-capped  Alps.  Florence, 
Italy  abounded  with  cultural 
antiquities  by  such  names  as 
Leonardo  da  Vinci,  Dante,  and 
Michelangelo.        The    warm 


brick  streets  welcomed  shop- 
pers as  did  the  sidewalk 
merchants  hawking  their 
wares,  be  it  leather  wallets, 
colorful  woven  baskets,  or 
mouth-watering     Italian     ice 

Progressing  to  Rome  several 
days  later,  we  enjoyed  the 
sunshine  and  rugged  beauty 
of  the  ancient  ruins  of  Rome 
varying  from  Nero's  old  palace 
to  the  Imperial  forums.  We 
were  sobered  by  a  trek  i 
through  the  Catacombs,  hand- 
dug  caverns,  the  dwelling  for 
many  early  Christians  and 
burial  place  for  martyrs. 

During  a  "pastry  stop"  one 
morning,  Judi  Boles  was 
standing  on  a  curb  under  some 
telephone  wires  waiting  for 
the  others  to  buy  their  delica- 
cies when  a  pigeon  resting  on 
the  wire  above  decided  to  do 
his  business  in  the  middle  ot 
Judi's  clean  blonde  hair. 
Fortunately,  Dr.  Wohlers 
cousin,  Bobbie  Sue  Wohlers 
(a  registered  nurse),  w 
quick  to  Judi's  rescue. 

Highlights  of  our  stay  in 
Rome  included  the  Pope  | 
farewell  in  a  ceremonious 
parade  from  the  Vatican  torn 
Santa  Maggiore  before ,  le*

Gavin  McCloud,  the  captain  of 
"Loveboat,"  along  with  pro- 
ducer, directors,  and  cast  who 
were  there  to  film  part  of  a 
special  program  which  was 
aired  this  season. 

From  Venice  we  traveled  by 
train  to  Vienna,  Austria, 
where  we  toured  several 
palaces  and  art  galleries,  and 
attended  the  Vienna  Philhar- 
monic Orchestra. 

After  a  stop  in  the  beautiful 
Austrian  village  of  Salzburg 
where  the  "Sound  of  Music" 
was  filmed  and  Malinda  ate  a 
record  number  of  pastries  and 
Swiss  candy  bars  in  one 
sitting,  we  arrived  in  Munich, 
West  Germany,  the  evening  of 
June  17  with  only  ten  days 
remaining  in  the  tour.  Rising 
daily  to  a  continental  breakfast 
of  hard  rolls,   jam,    and   hot 

I 


chocolate,  we  spent  Sabbath 
in  the  southern  part  of  Ger- 
many in  a  quaint  little  town 
called  Garmisch,  hiking  up  the 
mountains  until  we  found  an 
ideal  spot  overlooking  the 
Alpine  Mountains  for  an  out- 
door church  service  complete 
with  a  sermon  by  Malinda. 
After  a  peaceful  walk  down 
the  mountain,  we  returned  to 
Munich. 

Later  we  visited  Dachau,  a 
former  German  concentration 
camp,  now  a  museum  whose 
purpose  is  to  portray  as  accur- 
ately as  possible  the  tragedies 
that  occurred  there  and  the 
present  determination  that 
human  torture  should  never 
be  used  again. 

Our  stay  in  Germany  conclu- 
ded at  the  Adventist  Marien- 
hohe  Seminary  outside  Darm- 


stadt, nestled  among  rolling 
hills,  cow  pastures,  an  Ameri- 
can Army  base,  and  streetcar 
lines.  The  walk  from  the 
streetcar  to  the  college  was  an 
unforgettable  one  mile  of  up- 
hill struggle.  By  this  time  our 
suitcases  were  twice  as  heavy, 
but  our  only  choice  was  to 
keep  plugging  along  if  we 
wanted  supper  and  a  place  to 
sleep  that  night. 
From  there  time  flew  and 
seemingly  in  a  flash  we  once 
more  stood  in  an  airport, 
dressed  in  our  Italian  shoes 
and  belts,  and  London  blouses 
and  dresses,  this  time  bound 
for  home.  Conclusively  we 
agreed  that  Europe  is  a  great 
place  to  visit,  but  America  is  a 
great  place  to  live.

Ugly  men 
fare  better 


s  Digest  News  Sei

Ugly  men  have  better  job: 
and  better  educated  wives 
than  good-looking  men,  a  new 
survey  says. 

The  survey  found  that  looks 
have  no  effect  on  income,  but 
in  other  areas,  attractiveness 
in  men  hinders  gains  in  status. 

The  survey  was  done  by 
University  of  North  Carolina 
researchers. 

The  least-attractive  men 
have  the  most  education  and 
their  occupational  status  is 
higher  on  the  job  classification 
scale  the  researchers  found. 
The  survey  showed  that  uglier 
men  performed  better  at 
school  and  had  sexual  rela- 
tions at  a  later  age  than  their 
better-looking  counterparts. 

However,  the  survey  said 
that  "outstandingly"  good- 
looking  men  attain  jobs  of 
equal  prestige  as  those  of  the 
least  attractive. 

The  survey  also  found  that  a 
woman's  attractiveness  was 
tot  related  to  education,  occu- 
lation,  or  personal   income. 


Nevertheless,  there  was  con- 
siderable evidence  that  femi- 
nine attractiveness  affects  the 
adult  status  through  marriage 
to  a  high-income  husband. 

The  survey  said  that  the 
more  attractive  the  woman, 
the  better  educated  her  hus- 
band. The  opposite  was  true 
for  men. 

There  was  no  correlation 
between  a  woman's  looks  and 
her  school  performance  or 
adolescent  sexual  activity,  ac- 
cording to  the  survey. 

The  study  used  data  from  a 
survey  in  1970  of  601  men  and 
745  women.  That  survey 
followed  up  a  study  of  men 
and  women  who  were  first 
questioned  in  1955,  during 
their  sophomore  year  in  high 
school.  Research  assistants 
then  rated  the  respondent's 
looks,  using  high  school  pic- 
tures. The  survey  was  made 
public  on  September  7  at  the 
77th  Annual  meeting  of  the 
Sociological   Asso-

When  can  an  SC  student 
wear  a  striped  shirt,  check- 
ered pants,  a  paisley  tie  and 
white  socks,  and  be  in  vogue? 
And  when  can  that  same 
student  blow  his  nose  on  his 
tie  and  be  considered  cute?  On 
Nerd  Day,  of  course! 

The  second  day  of  Fall  Festi- 
val Week,  Nerd  Day  was  an 
opportunity  for  the  uninhi- 
bited to  display  the  crazy, 
clashy,  wild,  weird,  and 
generally    "nerdy"    sides    of 


their  characters  without  being 
carried  away  to  the  funny 
farm. 
Out  of  style  and  hopelessly 
mismatched  clothing, 
sized  or  broken  gla 
greased  hair,  a  variety  of  head 
gear,  idiotic  expressions, 
coordinated  and  clumsy  gaits 
and  nasal  slurred  speech 
were  all  used  by  the  one-day 
nerds  to  make  their  costumes 
as  realistic  as  possible.  Walk- 
ing' across  campus  at  any  rime 


during  the  day,  one  would  be 
likely  to  encounter  anything 
from  mad  scientists  to  mar- 
tians  to  lunatics  to  "flashers" 
to. .  .well,  you  name  it— if  it  was 
crazy,  it  was  there! 

Nerd  Day  concluded  with  an 
official  "Nerd  Picture"  taken 
on  the  steps  of  Lynn  Wood 
Hall,  a  picnic  supper,  and  a 
program  consisting  of  a  blue- 
grass  band  and  a  nerd  skit  pu 
on  by  Steve  Vogel  (WiHaW) 
and  Steve  Decker  (Wilbur).

Student  park  hosts 
Great  Pumpkin 


Ghosts,  witches,  nerds,  three 
blind  mice,  and  the  likes  of 
Dracula,  Robin  Hood,  and 
King  Tut,  along  with  many 
other  SC  students  invaded  the 
Student  Park  Sunday  night, 
October  31,  for  the  SA's 
annual  Great  Pumpkin  Caper. 
After  refreshments  of 
doughnuts,  apples,  and  hot 
chocolate  were  served,  Hallo- 
weeners  were  treated  with  a 
short  musical  jamboree  by  the 
White  Oak  Mountaineers,  a 
bluegrass  band  made  up  of  six 
SC  students.  The  costume 
contest  with  total  prizes  of 
$250  followed  along  with  many 
cute  and  many  strange  crea- 
tures. As  E.  0.  Grundset,  the 
emcee  for  the  evening,  put  it, 
"Tarzan  and  Jane  (alias  Mark 
Huber  and  Craig  Wilkinson), 
though  we're  not  exactly  sure 


which  is  which,"  won  the 
"historical  hysterical  sec- 
tion." The  novelty  section, 
which  the  emcee  correctly 
defined  as  meaning  "it  could 
be  anything,"  revealed,  to  the 
roaring  delight  of  all,  the  third 
place  winners  of  $20  to  be  the 
deans  of  Thatcher,  Mrs.  Run- 
yan  and  Mrs.  Somers,  as  Toga 
partiers  dressed  in  white 
sheets  with  wreaths  of  leaves 
atop  their  heads.  King  Tut 
rose  from  his  tomb  to  receive 
the  second  prize  of  $25,  and  an 
adorable  Evonne  Hanson  and 
Terry  Shaw  as  Raggedy  Ann 
and  Andy  "came  out  of  the 
closet,"  according  to  Mr. 
Grundset  to  win  the  first 
prize  of  $30. 
The  seasonal  section  was 
won  by  a  modern  witch  on  a 
cleaner,  and  six  tin- 


foiled  galactical  visitors  won 
the  group  section.  Grand 
prize  of  $50  went  to  Moni 
Gennick  as  a  knight  in  shining 
armor.  Although       Mr. 

Grundset  suggested  that  it 
had  been  "fashioned  out  of 
many  aluminum  cans,"  it  was 
actually  made  of  sheets  of 
metal  welded  together  by  a 
friend  of  hers. 
While  waiting  for  the  movie, 
"The  Russians  are  Coming," 
to  be  set  up,  marshmallows 
were  roasted  and  eaten 
around  a  huge  bonfire,  and 
due  to  some  delay  in  "The 
Russians  are  coming",  the 
marshmallows  were  also  used 
for  ammunition  in  what  turned 
out  to  be  the  Great  Marsh- 
mallow  Fight. 


Windstruck  strikes 


John  Biddle,  the  "world's 
foremost  yachting  cinema- 
tographer-lecturer"  was  pres- 
ent on  our  campus  this  week- 
end and  gave  a  live  narration 
°f  "Windstruck"  before  a 
gym  packed  with  students  and 
community  residents. 

"Windstruck,"  Biddle's  26th 
annual  sailing  film  show,  was 
a  90- minute  action  and  humor- 
filled  film-lecture  entertain- 
ment for  all.  The  film  cap- 
tures the  strenuous  human 
challenge  in  slalom  racing, 
heavy  weather  racing,  cata- 
maran marathon,  and  hot-air 
ballooning,  and  evoked  spon- 
taneous suspense  and  cheer  in 
'he  audience. 


The  overture  gives  particular 
attention  to  crews  in  yachts 
ranging  from  30-footers  to 
maxis,  drawn  up  in  battle 
array  or  actually  joined  battle 
with  the  impetuous,  heaving 

a  broad  spectrum  of  unequiv- 
ocal eccentricity  and  other 
competition  in  sailing  races 
highlighted  by  a  thrilling  and 
exciting  race  of  eleven  Hobie 
16's  from  Fort  Lauderdale  to 
Virginia  Beach. 
The  race  was  described  by 
the  film  maker  as  a  "grueling 
and  demanding  six-day, 
twenty-four  hours-a-day  1000 
mile  bash  up  the  Atlantic  coast 
climaxed    by    rounding    the 


treacherous,  and  in  this  case, 
stormy  Cape  Hatteras." 

The  finale  presented  adven- 
ture of  hot-air  ballooning  over 
a  magnificent  French  historic 
site.  This  segment  features 
fantastic  castles,  delectable 
cuisine,  and  palatable  wines 
and  champagne.  The  immi- 
nent competition  between 
men  and  the  wind  is  shown  as 
the  trip  comes  to  an  end. 

In  short,  John  Biddle's 
"Windstruck"  is  a  crucial  and 
defiant  dispute  between  some 
intrepid  sailors  and  gearbust- 
ing  winds  which  in  the  long 
run,  the  former  win  by  their 
determination,  temerity,  and 
love  for  adventure. 


IABC  organizes  student 
chapter 


The  Chattanooga  Chapter  of 
the  International  Association 
of  Business  Communicators 
(IABC)  launched  a  student 
chapter  of  IABC  for  area 
communication  students  at  a 
special  meeting  October  26. 
The  special  meeting,  held  at 
UTC's  student  center,  was 
attended  by  26  Southern 
College  students  and  several 
area  college  and  university 
students  and  area  organiza- 
tional communicators. 

IABC,  with  a  national  mem- 
bership of  over  10,000,  is  a 
trade  association  for  industrial 
and  organizational  communi- 
cators and  public  and  indus- 
trial relations  specialists. 
The  Chattanooga  chapter  has 
a  local  membership  of  over  50 
area  organizational  communi- 

The  student  chapter,  initially 
called  Choo-Choo/IABC,  will 
be  affiliated  with  IABC  and 
sponsored  by  the  Chattanooga 
chapter.  Its  purpose  is  to  heir/ 
area  communication  students 
make  the  transition  from 
school  to  a  meaningful  job  in 
organizational  communica- 
tions. Choo-Choo/IABC  will 
be  open  to  communication 
students  from  all  area  colleges 
and  universities. 

Debbie  Metcalf,  IABC  Dis- 
trict II  vice-president,  Bir- 
mingham, Alabama,  made  a 
presentation  and  the  featured 
speaker  for  the  meeting  was 
David  McFadden,  manager  of 
Hospital  Relations,  Hospital 
Corporation       of      America, 


Nashville. 

According  to  Dennis  Yocom, 
lABC/Chattanooga's  presi- 
dent, student  chapters  affil- 
iated with  IABC  is  a  concept 
receiving  more  attention  in 
local  chapters  near  education- 
al institutions  nationwide. 
'  'The  idea  for  forming  a 
student  chapter  for  Chatta- 
nooga area  communication 
students  came  up  about  eight 
months  ago,  and  IABC/Chat- 
tanooga's  Education  Commit- 
tee has  been  working  on  the 
idea  ever  since,"  Yocom  said. 

The  IABC/Chattanooga  Edu- 
cation Committee,  co-chaired 
by  Cynthia  DeRiemer,  UTC 
Communication  Department 
and  Frances  Andrews,  South- 
ern College  Communication 
Department,  solicited  infor- 
mation from  other  IABC  chap- 
ters which  had  formed  IABC 
student  chapters.  "We  re- 
ceived guidelines  from  the 
international  headquarters  in 
San  Francisco  and  other  in- 
formation from  other  student 
chapters  which  really  helped 
the  committee's  efforts  in 
establishing  this  student  chap- 
ter," DeRiemer  said.  She  also 
noted  the  closest  student 
chapter  to  the  Chattanooga 
area  is  in  Atlanta. 

Individuals  wanting  more 
information  about  Choo-  ^^~ 
Choo/IABC  should  contact  '{p 
Cynthia  DeRiemer  at  the  UTC 
Communication  Department 
or  Frances  Andrews  at  South- 
ern College  Communication

Acne  cure? 


Campus  Digest  News  Service 

Finally,  a  cure  for  acne  has 
been  approved  by  the  U.  S. 
Food  and  Drug  Administration 
and  it  really  works. 
The  miracle  drug  is  Accu- 
tane, a  synthetic  chemical 
related  to  Vitamin  A.  One 
capsule  of  Accutane  once  a 
day  for  15  to  20  weeks  can 
clear  up  even  severe  cases  of 
acne.  Even  after  injake  of  the 
drug  is  stopped,  its  curing 
effect  continues  for  several 
months. 
Accutane  had  to  pass  inten- 
sive tests  to  receive  FDA 
approval.  In  the  past  six 
years,  more  than  500  people 
have  been  given  the  drug. 
Every  patient's  acne  cleared 
up  noticeably  or  completely. 
Today,  Accutane  can  guaran- 
tee almost  100  percent  re- 
covery from  severe  facial 
acne,  according  to  Dr.  Peter 
Pochi,  of  Boston  University 
School  of  Medicine,  who 
helped  with  recent  studies. 

Until  now,  nothing  has  been 
effective  against  severe  acne. 
Tetracycline,  an  antibiotic, 
helped  a  little,  but  not  really. 
|  Injections  of  steroid  hormones 


also  have  been  tried.  Even 
washing  the  face  and  remov- 
ing fats  from  the  diet  had  not 
shown  any  positive  results. 
Accutane  was  finally  dis- 
covered through  a  long  con- 
nection with  Vitamin  A.  In  the 
1940s,  a  skin  disease  similar  to 
acne  was  diagnosed  as  a 
Vitamin  A  deficiency,  so  a 
lotion,  containing  Vitamin  A 
was  applied  directly  to  the 
skin.  It  worked  in  only  mild 
cases.  Then  retinoids,  a 
synthetic  derivative,  was  dis- 
covered in  cancer  research 
and  dermatologists  tried  it  on 

Thanks  to  the  retinoids,  Vi- 
tamin A  and  Accutane,  relief 
can  be  found  from  the  physical 
and  psychological  scars  of 
severe  acne.  Although  acne 
plagues  almost  every  adoles- 
cent, more  than  350,000 
Americans  suffer  from  cystic 
acne— an  acne  that  does  not 
disappear  after  puberty. 
The  facial  carbuncles  and 
pits  of  cystic  acne  begin  when 
the  sebaceous  glands,  beneath 
the  skin,  start  releasing  se- 
bum.   Sebum  is  a  natural  oil 


that  prevents  the  skin  from 
drying  out.  But  when  dead 
skin  clogs  its  normal  passage 
through  the  skin's  pres,  se- 
bum collects  and  eventually 
infects  the  surrounding  area. 
Although  Accutane  seems  to 
be  able  to  set  the  bodys 
system  right  again,  the  drug 
has  some  side  effects:chapped 
lips  and  dry  skin  and  mucous 
membrane.  A  few  patients 
have  experienced  hair  loss, 
muscle  pain  or  inflammaWJ 
around  the  eyes.  Until  further 
studies  are  conducted,  A«u 
tane  should  not  be  taken  by 
pregnant  women.

I  can't  believe  it.  I  really 
can't  believe  it. 

For  the  first  time  in  decades, 
the  SA  officers  of  SC  actually 
put  everything  on  the  line  and 
stood  in  front  of  the  entire 
student  body  last  week  and 
what  happens?  Some  poor 
kids  who  obviously  can't  live 
without  Captain  Kangaroo  and 
Sesame  Street  get  into  an 
argument  over  what  to  watch 
on  TV.' 

That's  pathetic.  It's  becom- 
ing very  apparent  to  me  that 
the  lack  of  good  movies  this 
year  is  producing  culturally 
deprived  students.  But  what 
about  the  real  problems  that 
exist?  There  are  several 
things  that  I  can  think  of  to 


worry  about  that  were  never 
even  mentioned. 

Is  WSMC  going  religious? 
This  is  a  fear  which  has 
nagged  at  the  hearts  of  many. 
Since  this  station  is  known  to 
be  KZ106's  biggest  competi- 
tor, 1  believe  this  is  probably 
just  a  rumor  which  is  being 
circulated  by  the  opposition. 
With  WSMC's  wildest  deejay, 
Jon  Larrabee,  sitting  on  the 
platform,  I  don't  know  how 
anyone  could  forget  an  issue 
this  important. 

Was  there  any  special  reason 
why  several  cases  of  Tylenol 
capsules  were  found  in  Hack- 
man  Hall?  Of  course  not.  One 
of  the  teachers  probably  just 
had  an  extra-strength   head- 


ache from  all  the  ether  and 
formaldehyde  floating  around. 
Is  the  administration  really 
looking  into  the  possibilities  of 
co-ed  dorms?  Hey,  with  the 
economy  the  way  it  is,  every- 
thing is  being  explored.  This 
is  probably  the  best  way  to 
build   up    a    lagging    student 

Is  Taco  Bell  going  to  merge 
with  the  CK?  This  was  an  idea 
suggested  by  the  SA  itself 
after  several  freshmen  tried  to 
use  their  ID  cards  downtown. 
Some  of  the  foods  being 
considered  are  spicy  bean 
shakes,  lominos  supreme  and 
Sam's  chicken  bellgrande's. 
Cary  Gregory  was  definitely 
the  person  to  ask  about  this 


development  as  he's  been  to 
both  places  so  often. 

Will  E.  O.  Grundset  be 
featured  on  "Real  People" 
any  time  this  year?  It  must 
have  been  his  Halloween  cos- 
tume; after  all,  impersonating 
a  biology  teacher  was  very 
original.  This  is  another  good 
question  for  those  in  the  SA 
who  are  responsible  for  stu- 
dent entertainment. 

Is  it  true  that  the  Religion 
Department  is  putting  out  a 
pamphlet  entitled  "How  to 
Operate  a  Ford"?  Sounds  a 
bit  funny.  I  would  think  the 
industrial  education  people 
would  handle  something  like 
that,  but  maybe  some  new 
ideas  have  been  introduced  to 


Like  1  said,  these  are  just  a 
few  of  the  many  questions 
which  I  personally  tend  to 
worry  about.  Of  course,  if  the 
SA  officers  can  ever  be  per- 
suaded to  go  through  another 
grueling  interrogation  ses- 
sion, I  plan  on  making  a 
checklist  with  all  of  the  really 
important  issues  on  it.  I'm 
going  to  get  some  of  these 
issues  cleared  up  once  and  for 
all.  And  after  all,  isn't  that 
what   the   SA,    voice   of   the 

student  body,  is  for?

SPAIN'S  SOCIALIST  WORK- 
ers  party  swept  into  power  last 
week  giving  that  country  its 
first  socialist  government 
since  the  end  of  the  Spanish 
Civil  War  in  1939.  The  SWP 
won  45.7  percent  of  the  vote 
while  their  right  wing  rivals, 
the  Popular  Alliance,  received 
24.9  percent. 

THE    DEMOCRATS     MADE 

some  big  gains  in  the  1982 
mid-term  elections.  Although 
the  Republicans  kept  control 
of  the  Senate,  the  Democrats 
picked  up  nearly  thirty  seats  in 
the  House  as  well  as  several 
governorships.  An     ABC 

election  day  poll  indicates  that 
voters  do  not  feel  President 
Reagan  should  run  for  re- 
elecion.  In      Tennessee, 

incombents  Governor  Lamar 
Alexander,  US  Senator  Jim 
Sasser  and  Representative 
Marilyn  Bouquard  all  won 
their  races  by  substantial 
margins. 


SOVIET  PRESIDENT  Brezh- 
nev attacked  US  foreign  policy 
]  in  a  speech  given  to  senior 
Soviet  officials.  Brezhnev 
claimed  that  US  efforts  to 
"isolate"  the  Soviets  are 
"threatening  to  push  the 
world  into  the  flames  of 
nuclear  war." 


ISRAEL  AGREED  TO  WITH 
draw  70,000  of  its  troops  from 
Lebanon  in  return  for  the 
withdrawal  of  35,000  Syrian 
and  Palestinian  troops.  In  a 
meeting  with  US  envoy  Morris 
Draper,  Israeli  Prime  Minister 
Begin  also  agreed  to  future 
mutual  withdrawals  and  to  an 
"international  conference"  on 
Palestinian  autonomy. 


SENATOR  EDWARD  KEN- 
nedy  (Dem-Mass)  charged 
that  President  Reagan  has  "a 
secret  post-election  plan  to 
slash  Social  Security."  The 
"plan",  which  Kennedy  term- 
ed the  Administration's 
"November  surprise",  was 
used  to  point  out  the  "need" 
for  "more  Democrats  in  Con- 
gress" according  to  Kennedy.

Van  Halen  concert  forbidden 
to  SC  students 


Southern  College  received 
publicity  on  two  area  radio 
stations  concerning  a  Van 
Halen  concert  held  at  the  UTC 
Roundhouse  in  Chattanooga. 
The  coverage  concerned  Chat- 
tanooga area  colleges  and 
prep  schools  which  were  dis- 
couraging their  students  from 
attending  the  heavy  metal 
rock  group.  A  disc  jockey  at 
KZ-106.  Gary  Jeff  Walker, 
told  the  Southern  Accent  that 
several  Southern  College  stu- 
dents called  the  station  and 
said  they  were  going  to  the' 
Van  Halen  concert,  regardless 
of  any  school  policy.  Walker 
said  he  did  not  mention 
Southern  College's  concert 
policy  on  the  air,  but  he  said 
that  forbidding  students  to  go 
lo  a  concert  is  not  right  unless 
it  is  a  basic  policy  of  the 
school. 

The  Dean  of  Students  office 
at  Southern  College  did  not 
take  a  formal  stand  on  attend- 


until  November  7,  the  day  of 
the  concert.  Signs  were 
posted  in  both  residence  halls 
concerning  the  concert.  "No- 
tice-The  Van  Halen  concert  is 
off  limits  to  all  SC  students. 
Disciplinary  action  will  be 
taken  if  attended." 
In  a  statement  to  the  South- 
ern Accent,  Everett  Schlisner 
said  that  the  administration 
did  not  approve  of  students 
going  to  the  Van  Halen  con- 
cert. "This  is  not  a  place  for 
an  Adventist  Christian  to  be, ' ' 
Schlisner  said.  "We  can,  with 
a  clear  conscience,  say  'This  is 
off  limits.'"  He  added  that  he 
would  be  looking  for  SC 
students    before   the   concert 

Despite  the  threat  of  disci- 
pline, some  Southern  College 
students  apparently  went  to 
the  concert  anyway.  It  was  not 
known  at  press  time  if  any 
Southern  College  students 
were  caught  at  the  concert. 
The  Dean  of  Student's  office 


ing   the   Van    Halen    concert     refused  to  comment. 


Development     department    solicits  funds 


Southern  College. 


In  an  attempt  to  keep  tuition 
down  while  at  the  same  time 
improving  the  facilities  at 
Southern  College,  the  Office 
of  Development  is  working  to 
solicit  funds  from  both  private 
and  corporate  sources. 
Dr.  Jack  McClarty,  director 
of  development,  listed  several 
reasons  for  soliciting  funds. 
The  first  and  most  important 
use  for  solicited  funds  is 
scholarships.  The  scholarship 
fund  is  invested,  and  the 
college  uses  the  interest  for 
the  actual  scholarship  money 
while  the  principal  remains  in- 
tact and  continues  to  earn 
interest. 

Donations  collected  by  the 
development  office  are  also 
used  for  improvement  of  cam- 
pus facilities  and  the  purchas- 
ing of  equipment.  The  music 
building,  which  was  com- 
pleted in  1980,  and  the  Hu- 
manities building  currently 
under  construction,  have  both 
been  funded  by  corporate  and 
private  donations. 
This  year,  private  donors  and 
at  least  15  corporate  founda- 
tions have  donated  a  total  of 


$628,630.52.  The  corporate 
donations  are  generally  ear- 
marked for  specific  purposes. 
"It's  hard  to  find  anyone  who 
is  interested  in  helping  with 
operating  expenses,"  explains 
McClarty.  "That  usually  has 
to  come  from  the  church.  Also, 
it  is  easier  to  solicit  funds  for 
some  departments  than  it  is 
for  others."  McClarty  went 
on  to  say  that  while  it  is 
relatively  easy  to  find  donors 
for  departments  such  as  nurs- 
ing, for  example,  where  stu- 
dents are  learning  skills  that 
will  be  directly  useful  to  the 
donating  foundation,  it  is 
much  more  difficult,  he"  says, 
to  solicit  funds  for  depart- 
ments such  as  Art  or  Home 
Economics. 
Both  private  and  corporate 
donors  give  in  response  to 
some  kind  of  request  by  the 
Office  of  Development.  Pri- 
vate donors  are  mainly  alumni 
and  members  of  the  Southern 
Union,  who  receive  the  annual 
fund  appeal.  This  year  about 
35.000  letters  were  sent  out  in 
a  mass  mailing,  and  according 
to  McClarty.  the  response  has 


been  very  good.  "The  alumni 
have  been  very  generous," 
states  McClarty.  "We  wish 
that  students  when  they  leave, 
would  remember  the  school.  It 
is  appreciative  alumni  tbat 
keep  this  school  going." 

Corporate  funds  are  solicited 
by  proposals  which  are  sub- 
mitted to  foundations  by  the 
development  office  each  year. 
According  to  McClarty,  about 
ten  percent  of  those  founda- 
tions who  receive  proposals 
respond  to  them.  This  is  quite 
high  on  the  national  average. 

While  the  immediate  goal  for 
the  scholarship  fund  is  to  help 
the  very  needy,  McClarty  and 
the  development  office  do 
have  an  ultimate  goal  in  mind: 
first  to  stabilize  the  tuition  and 
then,  finally,  to  start  lowering 
it.  This,  however,  will  not 
happen  in  the  very  near  future 
and  as  McClarty  says,  "It  will 
take  a  lot  of  concern  and 
commitment  on  the  part  of 
students,  parents,  alumni, 
and  the  church  to  put  it 
together." 


2/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/November  11,  1982 


^The  Collegedale 
Syndrome 


This  past  week,  the  Southern  Accent  printed  a  letter  from  a 
disgruntled  Southern  College  student  concerning  the 
cafeteria.  Stephen  Morris  told  how  he  declined  a  job  at  the 
cafeteria  because  he  did  not  want  to  work  one  Sabbath  a 
month.  Morris  went  on  to  tell  how  Southwestern  Adventist 
College  had  a  superior  food  service  system  by  serving  cold 
food  on  Sabbath  thus  keeping  the  cafeteria  staff  to  a 
minimum.  The  Southern  Accent  printed  this  letter  because 
the  students  need  a  forum  to  air  their  feelings  and  opinions 
regardless  of  the  validity  of  their  arguments. 

But  our  story  doesn't  end  here.  Within  three  days  of  the 
Accent's  publication  the  word  was  out  that  people  were 
talking  about  the  letter  or  article  I  had  written  concerning  the 
food  service  here  at  Southern  College. 

As  1  reflect  on  this,  I  can  see  that  this  episode  is  just  one 
more  case  of  a  disease  which  has  infected  almost  all  of 
Collegedale.  This  disease— The  Collegedale  Syndrome— has 
several  distinct  symptoms  which  I  will  try  to  describe. 

First  of  all,  some  interesting  'news'  must  take  place.  This 
piece  of  information  usually  is  of  little  consequence  but 
serves  as  the  culture  for  the  disease  to  grow. 

Secondly,  community  and  college  people  must  hear  of  the 
story.  The  story  then  grows  and  grows  in  size.  The  actors  in 
this  mini-drama  may  change  names.  The  deeds  or  alleged 
crimes  certainly  must  become  more  exciting  so  the  tale  can 
continue  to  grow  bigger  and  bigger. 

Finally,  the  virulent  disease  spreads  to  many  people, 
affecting  lives  everywhere.  And  when  the  tale  gets  back  to 
the  originator  of  the  deed,  the  story  bears  little  resemblance 
of  the  truth. 

Fortunately  in  my  case,  the  disease  was  very  mild.  I  could 
laugh  off  the  incident  as  a  case  of  mistaken  identity  and  point 
to  the  fact  that  in  the  six  years  1  lived  at  SAC,  I  had  enjoyed 
many  hot  Sabbath  meals  at  the  SAC  cafeteria. 

But  in  many  cases,  the  Collegedale  Syndrome — gossip — is 
no  laughing  matter.  Many  innocent  people  have  been 
damaged  by  thoughtless  lies  and  inuendos.  In  fact,  many  of 
the  problems  at  Southern  College  can  be  traced  to 
community  people  who  were  sure  the  theology  department 


was  corrupt  and  teaching  heresy.  They  told  half-truths  and 
outright  lies  and  the  reputation  of  an  outstanding  institution 
was  damaged.  t 

Unless  the  Collegedale  community  and  the  Adventist 
church  in  general  can  come  to  grips  with  this  real  problem, 
the  whole  future  of  Christian  education  is  in  jeopardy.

Dear  Editor, 

In  response  to  the  letter 
concerning  employment  on 
Sabbath  in  the  cafeteria,  I 
would  like  to  speak  up. 

First  of  all,  Sabbath  is  a 
special  day  when  friends  and 
family  can  get  together  to 
share  and  eat.  It  is  a  special 
time  and  with  our  busy  sched- 
ules we  deserve  that  time. 

Secondly,  working  in  the 
cafeteria  once  a  month  is  not 
going  to  kill  anyone  or  cause 
anyone   to   be   lost.      Is   our 


salvation  dependent  upon  our 
works  or  Jesus'  gift  of  eternal 
life  and  our  acceptance  of  it? 

Remember  the  Pharisees 
criticized  Jesus  and  His  disci- 
ples for  picking  grain  on 
Sabbath  because  they  were 
hungry.  Read  Jesus'  reply  to 
them  in  Matt  12:1-4. 

Another  point  I  would  like  to 
make  is  that  there  are  only  two 
stoves  on  each  floor  in  the 
main  dorm  and  one  stove  on 
each  floor  in  the  annex.   Some 


would  have  to  wait  a  long  time 
before  being  able  to  eat. 

I  feel  the  cafeteria  deserves  a 
hand  for  the  fine  Sabbath 
meals  they  provide  us.  Good 
job  cafeteria  staff  I 

Also,  it  is  not  our  right  to 
judge  or  put  anyone  down. 
Only  through  love  can  we 
change  people.  Instead  of 
pointing  a  condemning  finger, 
point  a  finger  of  love. 

Sincerely. 
Cindy  Torgesen 


Dear  Editor: 

As  a  former  full  time  staff 
employee  of  the  SMC  Cafe- 
teria I  was  not  shocked,  but 
somewhat  surprised  to  read 
the  article  written  by  Mr. 
Morris  (Cafeteria  Vs  The  Sab- 
bath Keeper).  As  a  former 
member  of  the  cafeteria  staff, 
I  can  tell  you  that  each  staff 
member  is  a  dedicated  mem- 
ber of  our  church.  Each 
member  that  works  there  on 
Sabbath  is  there  because  it  is 
neccesary  for  them  to  be 
there.  The  issue  of  keeping 
the  Sabbath  holy,  a  rather 
touchy  subject*  I  feel  was 
blown  way  out  of  proportion. 
Nowhere  in  any  of  Mrs. 
White's  writings  is  there  a 
quote  that  tells  us  we  should 
close  our  school  cafeterias  on 
Sabbath.  Mrs.  White  is  often 
quoted  as  saying  things  that 
are  simply  not  in  any  of  her 
writings,  but  are  taken  out  of 
context  to  add  credibility  to  a 
personal  opinion.   There  is  no 


practical  way  for  over  half  of 
the  students  to  find  a  way  to 
eat  other  than  in  the  cafeteria. 
Although  I  am  sure  the 
general  public  would  appre- 
ciate Mr.  Morris'  suggestions 
of  dining  out  at  his  home,  I  do 
not  think  that  over  half  of  the 
student  body  showing  up  at 
his  home  for  breakfast,  lunch, 
and  supper  would  be  a  prac- 
tical solution  to  the  problem 
either.  As  for  refrigerators  in 
each  room — who  is  to  provide 
the  money  to  install  them,  and 
who  is  going  to  provide  for 
some  of  the  needier  students 
the  food  to  put  in  them?  I  also 
feel  that  Mr.  Morris  gives 
neither  the  student  body  nor 
the  staff  at  the  cafeteria  any 
credit  for  having  any  sense.  If 
there  was  a  way  to  eat 
elsewhere  on  Sabbath,  I  am 
quite  sure  that  the  staff  or 
students  would  have  come  up 
with  it  by  now.  I  am  also  sure 
that  if  Mr.  Morris  had  done 
some     investigating      before 


writing  the  article,  by  going I0 
the  cafeteria,  he  would  have 
discovered  that  on  Sabbath 
there  is  a  minimal  staff.  Also, 
he  would  have  known  that 
much  of  the  work  is  done  on 
Friday,  and  unnecessary  work 
on  the  Sabbath  is  eliminated. 
Each  member  on  hand  is 
doing  a  missionary  service,  as 
did  Christ  when  he  fed  one  or 
his  own  in  the  fields,  on  trie 
Sabbath  day.  The  Bible  does 
not  say  that  Christ  told  ws 
disciples  to  go  hungry  as  a 
punishment  for  failing  to  maw* 
preparations  on  Friday-  ? 
we  not  to  follow  his  examp^ 
My  suggestion  is  that 
practice  of  keeping  *e 
open  bothers  anyone,  tney 
make  other  arrangme^ 
After  all,  most  of  the  stud*- 

do  not  have  v

Former  staff  member  of  the 
cafeteria  and  proud  of  it. 


Dear  Editor: 

As  the  wife  of  a  Southern 
College  faculty  member,  I  feel 
compelled  to  respond  to 
Stephen  Morris'  letter  in  your 
November  4  issue. 

We  invite  a  number  of  stu- 
dents to  our  home  for  Sabbath 
dinner  nearly  every  week,  not 
because  they  would  be  forced 
to  fast  if  we  did  not,  but 
because  we  enjoy  sharing  our 
home  and  dinner  with  them. 
However,  though  the  bulk  of 
the  food  preparation  is  done 
on  Friday,  I  do  find  it  is  work 
to  feed  my  family  and  guests.  I 
enjoy  it,  but  it  is  work  never- 
theless. 1  am  not  sure  why  it  is 
acceptable  for  me  and  Mr. 
Morris'  wife  to  serve  college 
students  on  Sabbath  but  un- 
acceptable for  him  to  do  so. 

The     cafeteria     should     be

Joseph  Robertson,  Student

and  chairman  of  the  Student

Is  the   late  leave  system  discriminatory' 


i 


&r 


YES 


I  feei  there  is  discrimination 
between  the  dorms,  I  am  a 
junior,  and  I  have  to  get  all  my 
late  leaves  approved,  while 
Freshman  John  Doe  over  in 
Talge  can  simply  write  his 
name  on  a  piece  of  paper  and 
walk  out  the  door.  But 
according  to  deans  of  Thatcher 
and  Talge  Halls,  there  is  very 
little  difference  between  the 
late  leave  procedures  of  the 
two  dormitories. 

For  residents  of  Thatcher, 
with  the  exception  of  fresh- 
men on  study  hall,  an  unlim- 


ited number  of  late  leaves  can 
be  received,  but  only  by 
approval  of  the  deans  (fresh- 
men on  study  hall  are  allowed 
no  late  leaves).  Annex  resi- 
dents are  allowed  four  late 
leaves  per  month  without  a 
dean's  approval. 

Over  in  Talge  Hall,  seniors 
are  allowed  an  unlimited 
number  of  late  leaves.  Jun- 
iors are  allowed  four  late 
leaves  per  month,  while  soph- 
omores and  freshmen  are 
allowed  two  per  month.  NONE 
of  these    require    a    dean's 


approval. 

All  this  may  sound  fair. 
These  are  the  "written  laws," 
but  in  actuality,  are  they  the 
enforced  laws?  In  Thatcher, 
yes;  in  Talge,  no. 

Due  to  the  fact  that  the  front 
doors,  of  Talge  are  usually 
unlocked,  it  is  logical  that 
guys  would  be  able  to  slip  in  or 
out  of  their  dormitory  easier 
than  the  girls  slipping  in  or  out 
of  Thatcher.  The  front  doors 
of  Thatcher  stay  locked  be- 
tween the  hours  of  11  p.m. 
and  6  a.m.,  making  it  virtually 
impossible  for  the  girls  to  get 


in  and  out  of  the  dorm  without 
the  deskworker's  knowledge. 

While  it  is  true  that  girls  over 
in  the  Annex  are  allowed  more 
privileges,  1  feel  this  freedom 
should  not  be  granted  accord- 
ing to  the  room  number  on  the 
door,  but  given  according  to 
age,  class  standing,  and 
possibly  GPA. 

A  classic  argument  is,  "You  . 
knew  the  rules  before  you 
came,  so  if  you  don't  like 
them,  then  why  did  you 
come?"  However,  knowing 
the  rules  does  not  always 
make  them  seem  fair. 


by  Millie  Runyan

We  hear  the  comment  fre- 
quently that  late  leaves  are 
hard  to  get  in  Thatcher  Hall.  If 
you  were  to  see  the  late  leave 
bulletin  board  in  the  main 
dorm  and  the  sign-out  sheet  in 
the  Annex,  1  think  you  would 
question  this  comment  as 
much  as  the  deans  do. 

The  policy  in  Thatcher  Annex 
is  a  bit  more  liberal  than  the 
main  dorm  because  of  the 
maturity  of  the  residents 
there.  Door  lock  is  at  11  p.m. 
every  night,  and  one  auto- 
matic late  leave  until  midnight 
per  week  is  granted.  Any 
additional  late  leaves  must  be 
obtained  by  permission  from 
the  dean  on  duty. 


Thatcher  main  dorm  closes  at 
10:30,  and  each  resident  has 
30  late  minutes  per  month. 
Late  leaves  until  U:00  are 
granted  by  request  during  the 
week.  Leaves  are  denied  only 
when  they  have  been  reques- 
ted excessively.  Since  the 
doors  close  so  late  on  Saturday 
night,  late  leaves  are  granted 
only  for  very  special 
occasions. 

Does  this  seem  tough?  It 
doesn't  seem  so  to  me! 
Again,  our  objective  is  to 
strive  to  maintain  a  comfort- 
able, ordered  way  of  life  which 
allows  for  individuality  and 
exception  as  may  be  neces- 
sary.

Recently  weekend  tours  were 
taken  by  several  of  Southern 
College's  music  groups.  On 
the  weekend  of  November  5 
and  6  the  Southern  College 
Concert  Band,  under  the 
direction  of  Patricia  Silver, 
took  a  tour  which  included 
sacred  and  secular  perfor- 
mances at  Madison  Academy, 
Highland  Academy,  and  Bor- 
deaux Church.  Among  the 
numbers  in  the  sacred  reper- 
toire were  "Fallen,  Fallen  is 
Babylon,"  a  dramatic  work 
featuring  the  percussion  sec- 
tion; "A  Sacred  Suite,"  com- 
posed of  special  arrangements 
of  well-known  tunes  such  as 
"Sweet  Hour  of  Prayer," 
"Onward  Christian  Soldiers" 
and  "Battle  Hymn  of  the 
Republic;"  and  two  numbers 
by  the  brass  ensemble:  "Pa- 
van  and  Galliard"  and  "Like  a 
River  Glorious." 

f 


The  secular  concert  included 
the  "Broadway  Show-Stop- 
pers Overture,"  the  popular 
"Stars  and  Stripes  Forever" 
and  "Russian  Christmas 
Music."  an  extremely  difficult 
combination  of  the  ancient 
Christmas  carol  "Carol  of  the 
Little  Russian  Children"  with 
some  original  material  and 
some  ancient  liturgical 
themes. 

The  Southern  College  Cho- 
rale, directed  by  Dr.  Don 
Runyan,  took  a  tour  the  last 
weekend  of  October  to  Au- 
gusta and  Savannah,  Georgia; 
Jacksonville,  Florida;  and 
Columbia,  South  Carolina. 
This  tour  was  unique  in  that  it 
was  entirely  student-directed. 
Student  directors  were  Evan 
Chesney,  Sydney  Whiting, 
also  the  group's  pianist,  and 
Scott  Aycock,  all  Senior  music 
majors.       Dr.    Runyan    com- 


mented concerning  the  trip, 
"It  was  a  typical  first  tour  of 
the  year;  first  tours  always 
draw  the  group  closer  together 
and  make  them  work  more  as 
a  unit."  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
McClarty  also  accompanied 
the  group  on  tour.  Mrs. 
McClarty  narrated  for  both 
sacred  and  secular  concerts. 
Die  Meistersinger  provided 
entertainment  for  Little  Creek 
Academy's  Fall  Banquet  on 
November  7.  Selections  in 
eluded   "Scarborough    Fair,' 


"Banjo  Medley,"  and  "Toot- 
Toot-Tootsie."  Also  perfor- 
ming at  the  banquet  were 
Cynthia  Patterson  playing  a 
harp  solo  and  Jenine  Fryling 
with  a  violin  solo. 

A  Symphony  tour  is  sched- 
uled for  this  weekend,  No- 
vember 12  and  13,  to  include 
concerts  at  Avon  Park  Church 
and  Forest  Lake  Academy. 
The  group  will  leave  at  10 
p.m.  Thursday  and  travel  all 
tight  so  that  Friday  can  be- 


spent  either  at  the  beach  ot 
Cypress  Gardens.  Soloists  on 
the  tour  will  be  Jenine  Fryling 
and  Sondra  Snider.  Linda  1m, 
a  former  first  violinist,  who  is 
currently  in  Orlando,  will  be 
joining  the  symphony  for  the 
concert  at  Forest  Lake. 
The  Symphony  was  invited  to 
perform  at  Disney  World,  but 
had  to  decline  the  offer  since 
the  concert  was  to  be  on 
Friday  night.

Pastor  Gordon  Bietz 


Student:  "Why  do  they  make 
us  go  to  church?  I  mean  even 
God  doesn't  make  us  go  to 
church." 

Bietz:  "Are  you  talking  about 
the  fact  that  they  make  you 
sign  out  to  go  to  church?" 
Student:  "Yes,  I  mean  we  are 
mature  adults  and  don't  need 
that  kind  of  supervision.  Of 
course  I  would  no  doubt  attend 
church  even  if  the  rule  was  not 
there." 

Bietz:  "You  mean  you  would 
go  to  church  even  if  the  rule 
was  not  there?" 
Student:  "Exactly,  most  of 
the  time  I  would  go  anyway. 
What  bugs  me  about  it  is  that 
it  is  required.  God's  kingdom 
is  not  a  kingdom  of  force! 

Of  course,  I  would  probably 
go  anyway  but  the  fact  that  it 
is  required  makes  me  want  to 
show  them  that  I  can  ditch  out 
without  them  knowing." 
Bietz:  "Well,  if  that  is  the 
case  with  you,  why  don't  you 
just  go  ahead  and  ignore  the 
rule  that  you  are  supposed  to 
go  to  church." 

Student:  "What  do  you  mean 
ignore  it?" 

Bietz:"Just  what  I  said,  that 

rule  is  not  for  you." 

Student:    "You  mean  it  does 


not  apply  to  me?" 

Bietz:    "That  is  right." 

Student:        "Would    you    be 

willing  to  tell  the  dean  that?" 

Bietz:   "If  you  are  going  to  go 

to   church   anyway   I   see   no 

reason    for    me    to    tell    the 

dean." 

Student:  "Well  that  is  not  the 

point.   The  rule  does  apply  to 

me  and  it  bugs  me  to  think 

that  I  have  to  go." 

Bietz:      "But  you   would   go 

even  if  you  weren't  required 

to?" 

Student:    "Yes" 

Bietz:    "Well  then  ignore  the 

rule — it    wasn't    written    for 

you." 

Student:      "I   don't   like   the 

extra  restrictions." 

Bietz:    "It  is  not  a  restriction 

for      you — you      would      go 

anyway." 

Student:    "But  it  is  dumb." 

Bietz:  "Dumb  for  you  maybe. 

Let  me  illustrate  it  this  way: 

Did  you  know  that  there  is  a 

law  in  this  state  that  1  can't 

beat     my     children     or     my 

wife?" 

Student:      "I   would   assume 

that  there  was  such  a  law." 

Bietz:    "Well  that  law  really 

bugs  me.    I. mean  not  that  I 

would    want    to    do    it,    you 


understand,  but  every  morn- 
ing I  wake  up  and  there  is  that 
restriction  hanging  over  me.  I 
don't  like  extra  restrictions." 
Student:    "But  that  is  not  the 

Bietz:  "True.  The  only  thing 
that  is  the  same  is  something 
the  same,  but  it  is  the  same 
idea. 

Why  should  a  rule  that  I 
should  go  to  church  bother  me 
if  1  plan  to  go  to  church 
anyway?" 

Student:  "Well*  I  have  this 
friend  who  really  doesn't  want 
to  go  to  church.  He  says  the 
Sabbath  is  a  day  of  rest  for 
him  and  he  needs  to  get  all  the 
rest  he  can  for  the  new  week. 
Church  just  breaks  into  his 
rest.  He  doesn't  believe 
religion  should  be  forced." 
Bietz:"Well,  let's  make  a 
distinction  here — religion  is 
not  being  forced — only  church 


Student:  "Same  difference!" 
Bietz:  "Not  at  all— there  is  a 
vast  difference.  What  is  being 
done  is  providing  an  opportun- 
ity for  religion.  The  Lord  can't 
bless  a  sermon  that  you  don't 
hear." 

Student:  "God  is  a  God  of 
free  choice — my  friend  should 


have  free  choice  about  church 

attendance." 

Bietz:  "Would  your  friend  put 

a  fence  around  a  cliff?" 

Student:        "What    do    you 

Bietz:  "If  your  friend  had 
property  with  a  cliff  behind  his 
home  and  let's  say  he  also  had 
a  small  child.  Would  he  put  a 
fence  around  the  cliff  to 
protect  his  child?" 
Student:  "That  is  different— 
we  are  not  small  children!" 
Bietz:  "True,  but  in  the 
context  of  a  Christian  school 
established  for  Christian  edu- 
cation freedom  is  earned  and  I 
don't  think  your  friend  has 
earned  it." 

Student:  "Well  I  think  it  is 
treating  us  like  babies." 
Bietz:  "Who?" 
Student:  "My  friend  is  being 
treated  like  a  baby.  Like  I  said 
I  would  no  doubt  go  to  church 
even  if  they  didn't  have  the 

Bietz:  "Ok,  now  this  friend  of 
yours — why  did  he  come  to 
this  school?" 

Student:  "Come  on,  I  know 
that  argument!  'You  chose  to 
come  here  and  knew  the  rules 
so  if  you  don't  like  it  go 
somewhere  else."' 


Bietz:    "That  isa  reasonable 
facsimile  of  the  argument." 
Student:       "Well    that    just 

Bietz:  "Why  not?" 
Student:  "Just  because  I 
choose  to  come  to  this  school,  I 
mean  just  because  my  friend 
chooses  to  attend  this  school 
doesn't  mean  that  he  chooses 
to  attend  church." 
Bietz:  "Didn't  this  friend  of 
yours  know  the  purpose  of  this 
school  when  he  came  here?' 
Student:  "I  suppose." 
Bietz:  "Well  he  bought  the 
package.  The  simple  fact  is 
that  this  school  has  the  objec- 
tive of  education  of  the  whole 
man  and  an  essential  element 
in  that  education  is  redemp- 
tion. That  involves  religious 
services.  The  rule  doesn't 
bother  people  like  yourself 
who  would  come  anyway,  and 
the  rule  is  only  for  those  like 
your  friend  and  it  exposes  him 
to  the  opportunity  for  religious 
growth." 

Student:   "I  still  don't  like  the 
fact  that  1  am  required  to  go  to 
church  on  Sabbath." 
Bietz:       "I    know.. .see    you 
Sabbath." 

Student:       "Yeah,    see    you 
Sabbath." 


How  to  accept  others 


by  David  Mee  Lee 
To  accept  someone  in  reality 
is  genuinely,  totally,  and 
humbly  to  receive  that  person 
as  he  is;  to  resist  the  urge  to 
control  or  manipulate  hi.m; 
and  to  give  him  respect  as  a 
person,  even  when  he  may  do 
something  we  don't  agree 
;  with.  Acceptance  implies  the 
I  willingness  to  listen  to  others 
when  we  would  rather  change 
them,  and  to  respect  their 
freedom  of  choice  when   we 

'  would  rather  convince  them  to 
do  it  "our  way." 
Think  back  to  the  last  time  a 

j  person  challenged  your 
opinion.  Recall  the  most 
recent  disagreement  you  had 
with  a  relative  or  friend. 
Examine  your  attitude  the  last 
time  there  was  a  doctrinal 
disagreement  in  your  Sabbath 
school  class.  How  well  did  you 
accept  the  other  person? 
One  of  Jesus'  most  com- 
manding qualities  was  His 
ability  to  accept  people — and 
"  changed  lives.  The  woman 
at  the  well,  a  Samaritan  five 
hmes  divorced  and  at  the  time 
living     with     another     man, 

i  Ranted    the    "living    water" 

1  ■  because  Jesus  accepted  her  as 


a  person  and  talked  to  her  (see 
John  4:5-42). 
The  first  step  toward  genuine 
acceptance  of  another  is  to 
know  and  accept  yourself — to 
have  self-respect.  Do  you 
know  what  you  are  capable  of 
doing  or  not  doing,  or  do  you 
find  yourself  saying  Yes  when 
already  you  feel  overex- 
tended? Do  you  keep  chiding 
yourself  for  your  failures  and 
weaknesses  instead  of  believ- 
ing that  God  really  has  accept- 
ed you  and  given  you  the  right 
to  become  His  son  or 
daughter?  (see  John  1:12). 
Are  you  aware  of  your  feel- 
ings so  you  can  share  them 
and  resolve  them  quickly 
rather  than  have  your  emo- 
tions control  you?  Can  you 
recognize  when  you  are  angry, 
anxious,  happy,  confused,  or 
hurt?  Can  you  accept  and  deal 
with  that  feeling  constructive- 
ly? Denying  the  emotional 
part  of  yourself  ends  with 
tension  headaches  or  ulcers,  a 
chronic  sense  of  dissatis- 
faction, and  a  schedule  bor- 
dering on  workaholism. 
The  second  step  to  accepting 
a  person  is  to  empathize  with 


him — to  participate  in  his 
feelings  or  ideas,  to  stand  in 
his  shoes.  This  will  require 
genuine  openness  toward  his 
opinions  and  feelings.  This  is 
also  where  the  first  step  is 
important.  It  is  much  easier  to 
understand  another  when  we 
ourselves  can  remember  what 
it  is  like  to  feel  stressed, 
angry,  ort  happy.  It  is  much 
easier  to  'tolerate  the  failures 
of  another  when  we  recognize 
our  own  weaknesses. 
Because  the  Christian  is 
aware  of  his  sinfulness  and 
God's  acceptance  and  forgive- 
ness, he  is  willing  and  able  to 
extend  that  acceptance  and 
respect  to  another  person.  A 
verse  in  The  Living  Bible 
illustrates  this  well: '  'And  why 
worry  about  a  speck  in  the  eye 
of  a  brother  when  you  have  a 
board  in  your  own?  Should 
you  say,  'Friend,  let  me  help 
you  get  that  speck  out  of  your 
eye,'  when  you  can't  even  see 
because  of  the  board  in  your 
own?  Hypocrite!  First  get  rid 
of  the  board.  Then  you  can 
see  to  help  your  brother" 
(Matt.  7:3-50.  See  the  steps  in 
this    passage?     First,     know 


yourself,  then  seek  to  under- 
stand the  needs  of  the  other 
person. 

The  third  step  in  accepting 
another  is  sharing  your  feel- 
ings and  concerns  in  a  way  the 
other  person  will  understand. 
If  your  teen-age  son  comes 
home  later  than  he  should,  it 
would  not  be  effective  to  begin 
a  health-education  talk  on  the 
need  of  adequate  rest  or  sleep. 
It  might  be  more  useful  to  say 
that  you  were  afraid  that 
something  had  gone  wrong 
and  that  you  needed  to  talk 
about  it,  either  immediately  or 
when  you  both  cooled  off. 

If  another  member  of  your 
church  becomes  threatened  by 
a  new  idea  for  evangelism  or  a 
different  theological  under- 
standing, it  would  not  be 
helpful  to  bombard  him  with 
elaborate  explanations  or 
proof  texts.  It  might  be  more 
useful  to  explore  your 
concerns  together  and  let  him 
know  that  you  share  his  love  of 
the  church,  as  well  as  concern 
for  truth. 

Communication  involves 
more  than  simply  declaring 
your  feelings  and  opinions.   It 


means  willingness  to  discover 
and  know  the  other  person  and 
to  take  time  to  exchange 
feelings  and  respect  his 
opinions. 
Acceptance  does  not  mean 
automatically  agreeing  with 
everything  the  other  person 
says.  As  Christians  claim  the 
self-respect  God  offers 
through  His  acceptance   and 

know  we  are  His  son  or 
daughter,  a  part  of  the  body  of 
Christ.  Christians  want  to 
discover  their  talents  and 
assert  themselves  for  who 
they  are,  not  for  who  they 
think  they  should  be  someday. 

Imagine  your  church  Filled 
with  members  practicing 
genuine  empathy  and 
communication  with  one 
another,  their  family  mem- 
bers, and  companions  at  work. 

What  would  be  the  impact, 
both  inside  and  outside  the  ^^ 
church,  for  bridging  genera-  'jp 
tion  gaps,  racial  barriers,  edu- 
cational differences,  and 
the  ultimate  gap— separation 
from  God!

Word  processing— 
what  is   it? 


New  classes  added 

This  new  literature  emphasizes  the  great  trend  in  our  society  today  to  return  to  the  simple  life. 
Students  are  demanding  that  we  get  back  to  basics.  ('SMC  became  'SC  so  'SDA'  became 
'SA'— it's  called  equal  opportunity).  SC  of  SA  will  be  offering  many  courses  for  the  First  time 
to  persons  who  need  them  most — freshpersons. 

A  sample  of  courses  to  be  offered: 

FRSH  099  ORIENTATION  0.01  hour 

Required  of  all  freshpersons  and  transfer  students. 
Course  will  enable  new  students  to  find  Wright  Hall. 

FRSH  100  LIFE  PLANNING  &  ADJUSTMENT  14, 14  hours 

Designed  for  those  who  need  technical  assistance  in  adjusting  their  TV  &  FM  antennas, 
electronic  watches,  etc.  to  adequately  cope  with  college  life  in  these  environs.  Also  for 
anybody  with  difficulty  adjusting  to  four  hours  of  sleep  per  night. 

PEAC  000.001  INTRODUCTION  TO  BEGINNING  SWIMMING  3  hours 

This  course  cannot  be  Clepped. 

Prepares  the   uninitiated  individual   who  has   never  seen  water  to   take   Beginning 
Swimming.  Practicum  commences  with  walking  through  a  humid  room  and  concludes  with 
successfully  navigating  a  kiddie  pool  filled  at  least  two  inches  deep.   Great  self-confidence 
builder. 
PEAC  100.9  ELEMENTARY  BREATHING  aka  AEROBICS 

Since  without  air  all  else  is  for  naught  we  teach  you  how  to  get  an  adequate  supply  of  oxygen 
to  all  parts  of  the  body.  A  major  part  of  the  course  will  be  devoted  to  gyrating  to  modern 
imusic.  Due  to  the  very  real  possibility  of  failure,  life  insurance  is  required— payable  to  SC. 

SECR  0.25  FUNDAMENTALS  OF  INTRODUCTION  TO  BEGINNING  BASIC  TYPINGS 
For  students  with  absolutely  no  previous  training.  To  pass,  students  will  be  required  to  type 
"A"  to  "Z."    Fifteen  minute  limit. 

BIOL  001  INTRODUCTION  TO  COEXISTENCE  WITH  ROACHES  1  second 

Required  of  students  with  composite  ACT  scores  of  4  or  lower.

Come  to  Southern  College  of  Seventh  Adventist  where  we  welcome  you  with  open  arms. 


Ask  most  people  what  word 
processing  is,  and,  more  than 
likely,  answers  will  be  given 
such  as  "Doesn't  it  have 
something  to  do  with  secretar- 
ial work?"  "Is  it  some  type  of 
computer?"  or  "I  don't  have 
the  faintest  idea."  A  rela- 
tively new  field  of  business 
that  only  began  in  the  early 
1960's,  word  processing  is  the 
use  of  computer  technology  to 
enter,  edit,  and  prepare  draft 
and  Final  output  documents  for 
an  organization  in  the  most 
efficient  and  economical  way. 
Southern  College's  own  Word 
Processing  Center  is  doing 
just  that! 
According  to  Mrs.  Evonne 
Richards,  Word  Processing 
Director,  "The  Word  Pro- 
cessing Center  is  now 
equipped  to  give  very  efficient 
and  versatile  service."  This 
year's  addition  of  a  second 
computer  terminal  and  last 
year's  acquisition  of  a  quality 
printer  has  enabled  the 
department  to  more  easily 
enter  and  store  into  the 
college's  Hewlett-Packard 
3000  documents  such  as 
letters,  book  manuscripts,  and 
resumes  and  then  quickly 
reproduce  them  in  excellent 
quality. 
Located  in  Wright  Hall  and 
now  in  its  fourth  year  of 
operation,  the  department 
actually  began  in  the  office  of 
the  academic  dean  when  an 
IBM  Mag  Card  typewriter  was 
leased  for  use  by  the  adminis- 
tration and  in  the  training  of 
secretarial      students.  It 

offered  the  feature  of  being 
able  to  correct  mistakes  by 
backspacing  and  striking  over 
errors  and  the  material  being 
typed  was  automatically  re- 
corded on  magnetic  cards.  The 
material  could  then  be  printed 
error-free  at  speeds  of  180 
words  per  minute.  Although 
the  Mag  Card  typewriter  had 
unlimited  external  storage, 
the  use  of  magnetic  cards 
became  rather  expensive  as 
usage  increased,  and  the 
search  began  for  new  equip- 
ment. 

According  to  Mrs.  Richards, 
who  was  then  secretary  to  the 
academic  dean,  Dr.  Futcher, 
"The  administration  gave  the 
go-ahead  in  1979  to  start  a 
word  processing  center."  The 
following  year  an  Olivetti  401 
was  rented  to  replace  the  IBM 
Mag  Card  typewriter,  and  a 
computer  terminal  was  ob- 
tained. The  Olivetti  recorded 
on  small  discs,  which  made 
editing  and  revising  much 
easier,  could  reproduce  stored 
data  at  a  rate  of  350  words  per 
minute,  which  was  almost 
twice  the  speed  of  the  IBM 
Mag  Card,  and  could  merge  a 


list  of  information,  such  as 
addresses,  with  a  particular 
document,  such  as  a  letter 
After  the  evaluation  of  many 
different  types  of  word  pro- 
cessing  equipment  and  soft- 
ware packages  by  Mrs 
Richards  and  Mr.  John 
Beckett,  director  of  Computer 
Services,  a  Diablo  quality 
printer  was  purchased  last 
year,  and  because  of  contin- 
ued interest  in  evaluating 
word  processing  equipment, 
Mrs.  Richards  has  chosen  this 
area  of  research  for  her  doc- 
toral dissertation. 
The  Word  Processing  Center 
recent  project  was  the  400- 
page  Self-Study  Report  for 
Southern  College  that  was 
done  last  year.  Another 
project  geared  more  for  the 
faculty  and  students  includes 
the  printing  of  letters  using 
different  names  and  ad- 
dresses. Tests  are  also 
printed  for  teachers  who  have 
a  test  bank  of  questions  on  the 
computer.  After  the  initial 
data  entry,  tests  are  run  by 
selecting  questions  out  of  a 
master  file,  and  an  answer  key 
is  also  printed  automatically. 
The  department  has  computer 
address  files  for  all  conference 
presidents,  ministerial  secre- 
taries, and  educational  secre- 
taries, in  addition  to  a  com- 
plete list  of  SC  faculty,  which 
can  be  used  for  letters, 
resumes,  envelopes,  and  la- 
bels. Articles  and  book  manu- 
scripts are  also  done  by  the 
department.  One  of  the  First 
such  projects  done  by  Word 
Processing  during  its  first  year 
of  operation  was  the  set  of 
Sabbath  School  lessons 
written  by  Dr.  Norman  Gulley, 
Professor  of  Religion  at  SC, 
which  will  be  available  in 
January,  1983.  Christ  Our 
Substitute  was  later  written  on 
the  same  subject  for  use  with 
the  Sabbath  School  lessons. 
"The  Word  Processing 
Department  was  a  lifesaver  to 
me  in  terms  of  time,"  stated 
Dr.  Gulley.  "I've  nothing  but 
praise  for  the  department,  ana 
don't  know  how  we  ever 
operated  without  it."  During 
the  last  four  years,  worn 
processing  has  also  iyPetl 
large  number  of  resumes 
students,  and  many  have  be 
excited  about  the  complin*" 
received  from  prospect 
employers  on  their  resumes- 

"The  important  thing  is  [h3| 
we're  able  to  produce  £ 
quality  documents  in  *  , 
amount  of  time,"  cornmen 
Mrs.  Richards,  "and  > °  $ 
hour  for  error-free  <=opi* 
document,  such  as  a  , 

is  a  small  price  to  pay  *or      1 
type  of  quality."

ventists  meet  at  Buster's  Barn 
for  the  annual  barn  party. 
There  was  a  sacred  program  to 
close  the  Sabbath  and  then  a 
secular  program  followed  with 
hot  chocolate,  apple  cider,  and 
doughnuts.  Everyone  was 
encouraged  to  bring  an  old 
blanket  and  come  and  have 
fun.  It  was  a  lively  evening  of 
singing,  accompanied  by  gui- 
tars, banjos,  and  a  fiddle.  A 
few  of  the  main  entertainers 
were  Steve  Martin,  David 
Rose,  Rick  Mace,  and  the 
Cress  Trio. 
This  week  was  Week  of 
Prayer.  Jim  Herman  spoke  on 
the  call  of  Abraham  stressing 
that  we,  like  Abraham,  can  do 


God's  will  and  "know  beyond 
a  shadow  of  a  doubt."  He  said 
that  Abraham  held  to  God's 
will  and  there  is  "no  happier 
place  to  be  than  where  God 
wants  you  to  be."  Many  of 
the  students  enjoyed  talking 
with  Elder  Herman  after  the 
meetings  and  during  the  day. 
November  7  held  excitement 
for  several  nursing  students. 
Mike  Wykoff,  the  SA  presi- 
dent for  the  Orlando  campus, 
obtained  tickets  for  the  dinner 
theater  "Once  Upon  A 
Stage."  This  was  a  formal 
evening  with  live  entertain- 
ment presented  by  Rogers  and 
Hammerstein's  "The  King 
and  I,"  a  play  based  on  Anna 
and  the  King  of  Siam  by 
Margaret  Landis.  A  buffet 
dinner  was  also  served. 


Christmas  tree   to   be 
imported 


by  E.  O.  Grundset 

As  everyone  has  noticed,  a 
beautiful  tree  was  trans- 
planted in  the  center  of  the 
mall  in  front  of  Wright  Hall. 
This  was  done  about  a  year 
ago  with  the  intent  that  it 
would  serve  as  the  yearly 
campus  Christmas  Tree.  This 
it  shall  be;  however,  Mr. 
Lacey,  grounds  superinten- 
dent, and  others  feel  that 
it  is  just  a  little  too  short  to  use 
this  year,  and  that  it  needs 
some  more  time  to  oecome 
"established".  So  ...  .  this 
Friday  a  taller  cedar  tree  will 
be  brought  in  (from  north  of 
Ooltewah)  and  set  up  by  the 
SC  Engineering  Dept.  in  the 
space  adjacent  to  this  smaller 
permanent  tree.     The  lights 


will  be  strung  and  a  star 
placed  atop  this  temporary 
tree  during  the  following  Week 
so  that  all  will  be  in  readiness 
for  the  Tree  Lighting  Cere- 
monies on  Tuesday,  Nov.  30. 
This  situation  of  having  two 
trees  will  present  a  strange 
(possibly  weird)  sight  when 
viewed  from  Wright  Hall  and 
will  elicit  various  and  sundry 
critical  remarks  no  doubt— but 
so  be  it!  Actually  when 
viewed  from  Camp  Road,  the 
shopping  center,  the  dorms 
and  other  vantage  points  the 
lighted  tree  will  appear  quite 
"normal".  Let's  just  call  this 
the  two-tree  Christmas.  .  . 
next  year  we'll  begin  using 
the  permanent  tree.

The  Army  Corps  of  Engi- 
neers and  South  Florida  Water 
Management  District  have 
agreed  to  study  the  idea  of 
restoring  the  natural  water 
flow  to  the  heavily  diked 
Everglades,  which  has  been 
imperiled  by  a  change  in 
wanterflow  that  has  led  to  the 
death  of  90  percent  of  the  area 

"We  have  lost  or  are  losing 
Everglades  National  Park," 
adds  environmentalist  Art 
Marshall,  who  believes  that 
the  key  to  saving  the  environ- 
mentally sensitive  region  is  by 
returning  it  to  a  semblance  of 
its  original  state. 

A  plan  favored  by  Jack 
Morehead,  Everglades 

National  Park  Superintendent, 
hinges  on  continuing  to 
restrict  development  in  the 
eastern  Everglades  and  calls 
for  doubling  the  park's  guar- 
anteed annual  water  supply 
which  is  102  billion  gallons  a 

Before  the  advent  of  drain- 
age, the  flood  control,  water 
flowed  into  the  5668-square- 
mile  park  across  a  20-mile- 
wiflfe  depression  called  Shark 


River  Slough  and  the  smaller 
Taylor  Slough.  Most  of  the 
water  now  enters  through 
gates  dotting  an  eight-mile 
stretch  of  canal  along  the 
Tamiami  Trail  (US  41). 
"The  park  must  have  water 
based  more  on  natural 
events,"  said  Morehead. 
"Any  time  of  wet  or  flood  or 
rain  or  drought,  we  can  take 
that.  That's  the  natural  cycle. 
But  the  animals  aren't  adapt- 
ed to  a  man-made  cycle." 

The  Everglades  problem 
stems  from  a  decision  years 
ago  to  alter  the  water  flow  to 
enable  people  to  grow  crops 
during  droughts  and  keep  dry 
during  floods. 

But  while  the  plan  helped 
man,  it  hurt  birds  living  in  the 

Morehead  said  more  than  90 
percent  of  the  birds  died,  and 
fishermen  in  northeastern 
Florida  Bay  say  the  man-con- 
trolled flow  change  also  upset 
marine  life  because  the 
balance  of  fresh  and  salt  water 
shifted. 

Also  agreeing  with  the  idea 
of  restoring  the  Everglades  to 
its  natural  water  sheet  flow  is 


Johnny  Jones,  executive 
director  of  the  Florida  Wildlife 
Federation.  "There  isn't  but 
one  way  to  fix  it.  Put  it  back 
the  way  the  good  Lord  made 

The  drawing  included  in  this 
article     is     the     Everglades 


(snail)  Kite,  Rostrhamus 
sociabilis,  which  is  only  one  of 
many  species  affected  by  the 
Water  Management  Act.  it  is 
so  threatened  as  to  be  added 
to  the  endangered  species  list. 
The  change  of  water  flow 
affects  the  growth  and  repro- 


duction of  the  bird's  only  food 
supply,  the  Apple  Snail.  The 
last  census  shows  the  number 
of  Snail  Kites  is  very  low 
compared  to  previous  counts 
of  its  population.  The  1982 
count  revealed  about  100  or  sa 
birds  remaining.

Never  have  I  felt  such  pur- 
pose and  meaning  in  life  as 
when  I  came  out  to  the  mission 
field.  Being  here  in  Indonesia 
has  brought  me  closer  to  Jesus 
in  a  very  real  and  special  way! 
Also    I    have    felt    a    special 
closeness  with  my  two  Chris- 
tian brothers  with  me  here  in 
Bandung.     Oh  sure,   1   have 
experienced        homesickness 
and  culture  shock,  but  through 
it  all  God  has  used  these  trials 
to  bring  me  closer  to  Him. 
And  yes,  interesting  things  do 
happen   to   us.      One    day    I 
almost  fell  through  the  ceiling 
trying  to  repair  a  leaky  roof. 
My  angel  must  have  been  on 
red  alert  because  I  didn't  fall 
all  the  way  through!      Also, 
how  would  you  like  to  live  100 
km.  away  from  a  volcano  that 
erupts  every  week?    One  day 
ik   Paul  and  1  were  covered  with 
W  volcanic    ash    as    we     rode 
through  downtown  Bandung. 
The  sky  reminded  me  of  the 
Dark  Day!    The  reason  I  like 
being  here  the  best  is  because 
of  my  friendly  students.   I  get 
excited  seeing  them  respond 
in  Bible  class.    This  week  we 
start  our  first  series  of  evan- 
gelistic meetings.  I'm  excited 
about    sharing    the    precious 
love  of  my  Saviour. 

— Tony  Pasillas 


When  1  first  came  to  Indo- 
nesia the  main  thing  I  was 
scared  of  was  the  Bible  studies 
I  knew  I  would  be  teaching. 
Even  though  I've  studied  the 
Bible  all  my  life,  there  is  a  lot  I 
still  don't  know.  Plus  I've 
never  had  to  explain  it  to 
someone  else.  When  I  had  my 
first  Bible  class  I  can  honestly 
total  flop.  English 


day  after  we  come  back  from 
lunch  we  look  for  the  mail. 
My  friends  and  relatives  have 
really  been  faithful  in  writing 
and  I  appreciate  it  so  much.

1  invited  two  of  my  students 
to  spend  the  night  at  my 
apartment.  Before  we  all 
ired  for  the  night,  I  had  a 


infinitely   inade- 


quate.   1  know  there  must  be 


teachers  from  another  school  long  talk  with  them  about 
came  down  and  talked  about  God,  who  He  is  and  how  great 
how  much  they  loved  their  He  is.  They  were  very 
Bible  classes  and  what  God  interested  and  f  could  feel  the 
was  doing  for  them.  By  their  Holy  Spirit  working  on  their 
example  they  showed  some  of  hearts.  They  want  to  go  to 
us  that  we  really  needed  to  church  but  they  must  work 
study  our  Bible  more  and  and  go  to  school.  Please  join 
us  in  prayer.  We  don't  realize 
how  privileged  we  are.  1  have 
field  and  still  be  alone  really  been  enjoying  my  stay 
1  have  picked  three 


and  without  God.  So  I  started 
studying,  and  it  worked.  I 
love  my  Bible  classes  now.  I 
claimed  the  promise  in  Matt. 
21:22  about  asking  anything  in 
prayer,  and  if  you  believe, 
Godwill  provide.  He  sure  has 
blessed  me  by  this  text. 

— Cherie  Brown 

Well,  so  far.  so  good. 
Everything  in  Jakarta  is  doing 
fine.  Before  I  came  here,  1 
never  knew  mail  could  be  so 
important.  It  has  become  a 
main  part  of  my  name.    Everv 


special  people  to  pray  for 
can  already  see  changes  in 
their  lives.  Let's  pray  that 
God  will  use  us  in  a  special 
way  this  year.

Origins  matter  little  to  God. 
What  is  of  consequence  is  the 
new  birth  and  what  one  does 
with  the  God-given  life. 
In  The  Victors,  a  new  release 
from  Pacific  Press  Publishing 
Association,  Dr.  Leslie  Hard- 
inge  traces  the  lives  of  13 
Bible  characters — both  men 
and  women — and  shows  how 
God  helped  them  to  triumph. 
They  were  mostly  common 
folk  and  comparatively 
unimportant  in  their  country, 
yet  each  became  a  victor 
through  his  consecration  to 
God. 
Hardinge,  president  and 
dean  of  the  Seventh-day 
Adventist  seminary  in  the 
Philippines,  demonstrates 
through  the  characters  in  this 
128-page  book  that  position, 
fame  or  noble  birth  matter 
little  to  God. 
Possessing  emotions, 

ambitions,  sins  and  weak- 
nesses— the  same  as  is  found 
today— each     was     able     to 


triumph  through  God  and 
become  a  victor. 

"What  God  did  in  Bible 
times  He  can  still  do  today, 
says  Hardinge,  a  well-known 
teacher  and  pastor  i» 
Adventist  circles. 

This  is  the  sixth  publisM"

Requirements    for   M.Div. 
changed  at  Andrews 


Several  changes  have  taken 
place  in  the  last  few  months  at 
the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Theological  Seminary 

(Andrews  University. .  Berrien 
Springs,  Michigan),  The 
Seminary  is  attended  by  stu- 
dents who  have  already 
completed  a  baccalaureate 
degree  It  offers  programs 
leading  to  the  Master  of 
Divinity,  the  Master  of 
Theology,  the  Doctor  of  Mini- 
stry and  the  Doctor  of  Philos- 
ophy in  Religion  (or  Doctor  of 
Theology)  degrees.  Out  of  388 
students  registered  this  year, 
more  than  300  are  in  the 
Master  of  Divinity  (M.Div.) 
program.  This  is  the  basic 
Seminary  program  intended  to 
prepare  ministers  for  the  SDA 
Church  in  North  America. 
The  recent  changes  in  admis- 
sion and  tuition  apply  exclu- 
sively to  the  Master  of  Divinity 
program. 

Students  who  want  to  enter 
the  M.Div.  program  must 
apply   before  February   28. 


Acceptances  will  be  sent  out 
not  later  than  April  15. 
Application  materials  can  be 
obtained  by  writing  to  the 
Office  of  Admissions. 
Andrews  University,  Berrien 
Springs,  Michigan  49104  (Or 
calling,  toll  free,  800-253-2874 
[800-632-2248  in  Michigan]). 

Classes  for  first-year  stu- 
dents will  begin  in  September, 
with  the  Fall  quarter.  How- 
ever, students  who  have  a 
bachelor's  degree  but  who 
have  not  taken  all  the  required 
pre-Seminary  courses,  must 
attend  the  Summer  quarter  in 
order  to  clear  their  defi- 
ciencies before  they  can  reg- 
ister for  the  M.Div.  program 
in  September.  (Students  can 
not  begin  their  M.Div.  pro- 
gram in  the  Winter  or  Spring 
quarters.)  Information  on 
pre-Seminary  requirements 
can  also  be  obtained  from  the 
Office  of  Admissions.  The 
general  GPA  required  for 
Seminary  admission  is  2.50. 

A    recent    decision    of    the 


General  Conference  changes 
the  cost  of  tuition  for  M.Div 
students.  Instead  of  paying 
$1,545  per  quarter  in  tuition 
for  a  full  load  of  15  credits,  the 
student  pays  only  a  quarterly 
registration  fee  of  S27S.  Each 
M.Div.  student  pays  the 
same,  whether  the  course  load 
per  quarter  is  1  or  15  credits. 
The  only  limitation  is  that  all 
credits  have  to  be  taken  in  the 
Seminary  in  the  Master  of 
Divinity  program. 
Spouses  of  regular  Seminary 
students  (including  doctoral 
students),  who  qualify  aca- 
demically, will  have  the  oppor- 
tunity, beginning  with  the 
Winter  quarter  of  1983,  of 
taking  up  to  nine  hours  of 
Seminary  credit  per  quarter 
paying  the  nominal  fee  of  only 
S15  per  credit.  Besides,  all 
spouses  of  seminarians  are 
encouraged  to  audit  one  class 
per  quarter,  at  no  cost.  The 
only  limitation  in  both 
instances  is  the  availability  of 
space  in  the  classroom.

The  1982  Flag  football  season 
came  lo  an  end  last  week  with 
Greve,  Arias,  Mixon,  and 
Giebell  all  clinching  division 
crowns.  In  A  League  Rick 
Greve's  team  suffered  its  only 
defeat  of  the  season,  to  Durby 
in  a  game  marked  by  inter- 
ceptions and  great  defensive 
plays.  Durby  managed  to 
contain  flashy  Hank  Green- 
wood for  most  of  the  game- 
possibly  being  the  key  to  his 
success.  However,  Greve 
clinched  first  place  Thursday 
night  with  a  31-6  victory  over 
Manzella. 

Both  B  League  divisions 
came  down  to  the  wire  with 
Mixon  clinching  first  place  in 


the  East  with  a  33-13  win  over 
King.  Montiperto  managed 
second  and  a  5-3  record  by 
defeating  Lonto  39-34.  In  the 
West  division  Giebell  and 
Bryant  met  for  the  champion- 
ship, with  Giebell  emerging  a 
one  point  26-25  victor,  giving 
himself  first  place  and  a  half 
game  lead  over  Dickerhoff. 
Beth  Arias  won  the  Women's 
League  for  the  second  year  in 
a  row  completing  the  season 
with  only  one  tie  blemishing 
her  record.  She  defeated 
McKee  to  insure  first  place  by 
a  25-6  margin,  leaving  McKee 
alone  in  second  place  with  a 


5-3  i

I  received  a  rather  long- 
distance call  the  other  day.  It 
was  Mrs.  Claus.  "Nick  has 
some  pretty  bad  pre-Christ- 
mas  blues  this  year,"  she 
said.  "Can  you  come  over  and 
see  what  you  can  do?" 

In  a  little  bit  I  was  sauntering 
into  the  toy-strewn  living  room 
of  Santa  Claus'  house. 
"Hey."  I  said,  "I  haven't 
seen  you  since  you  got  sun- 
burned in  Florida." 

He  glared. 

"I  heard  you  weren't  in  the 
spirit  of  things." 

"Humbug!"  he  grouched. 

"Aw,  c'mon  Nick,  what's  on 
your  mind?" 

"I'll  tell  you  what's  on  my 
mind!"  he  roared.  "We're  3 
months  behind  in  production! 
Those  idiot  elves  spend  every 
minute  at  the  arcade  playing 
'Pac-man',  and  when  I  try  to 
dislodge  them,  they  threaten 
me  with  union  action.  I  should 

"Calm  down,  Santa.  Is  that 
all?" 


"That's  just  the  start!"  he 
sputtered.  "Reaganomics 

forced  me  to  cut  out  two  deer, 
and  n  aintenance  on  my  sled  is 
killing  me.  You  know  how 
n>ucl.  brake  fluid  that  thing 
eats?" 

"Louk,  Nick,"  I  soothed, 
"You  shouldn't  be  such  a 
cynic." 

"Look  who's  talking,"  he 
snipped. 

"Watch  it,"  I  said.  "That 
was  below  the  belt." 

Oh  brother,  I  thought.  It's 
almost  Christmas  season  and 
Santa  Claus  is  a  wreck. 
Maybe  1  should  cheer  him  up. 
"Hey,  I've  gotajoke  for  you," 
1  said.  "What's  fat  and  red, 
and  ho-ho's  in  the  garden?" 

"You  want  a  punch  in  the 

"Sorry,  just  trying  to  cheer 
you  up." 

It's  kinda  hard  to  feel 
cheery,"  he  said,  "when  you 
get  billed  twenty  bucks  for 
by  your  school.  I 
once  a  year." 


"Maybe  they  feel  you  might 
fall    off   the    fire    truck,"    I 


"What  could  happen?"  he 
said.  "Now  that  I'm  wearing 
this  darn  helmet  so  I  won't  get 
pulled  over,  1  should  be  well 
prepared  to  visit  College- 
dale." 

Poor  Santa,  I  thought.  He 
was  really  getting  a  raw  deal 
this  year. 

I  looked  my  old  friend  over, 
sitting  in  his  old  armchair  with 
that  silly  helmet.  The  beard 
was  there,  and  so  were  the  red 
cheeks,  but  he  seemed — thin- 

"Hey!  You  lost  weight!" 

"That's  right,"  said  Nick. 
"Forty  pounds.  I  started 
watching  that  little  weird  guy, 
Richard  Simmons." 

"But    Nick!"    I    gasped. 
"Santa    can't    be    skinny!" 

"Well,  too  bad"  he  huffed. 
"How  would  you  like  to  be 
called  a  'bowlful  of  jelly'  all  of 
your  life?  Besides,  they  don't 
build  chimneys  as  big  as  they 


used  to,"  he  sighed.  "Christ- 
mas. It's  the  same  old  drudge 
for  me.  I  dodge  the  747's 
while  everyone  watches  Frosty 
the  Snowfreak,  or  that  dumb 
Grinch.  I'm  just  not  up  to  it. 
Even  my  mailbag's  letting  me 
down."  He  thrust  a  letter  at 
me.  '  'Here,  read  this. " — 
Dear  Santa,  you  promised  me 
that  book  "How  to  Win  Friends 
and  Influence  People'  would 
work.  Well,  it  didn't.  I  hope 
the  North  Pole  melts.  Sin- 
cerely, Dean  Schlisner. 

"Yes,  I  see,"  I  remarked. 
"But    you    gotta    know    this 

guy-" 

"Here's  another,"  said 
Santa,  busy  poring  through 
piles  of  letters. — Dear 
Comrade  in  Red,  I  have  invad- 
ed no  countries  this  year. 
Stuff  my  stocking  with  US 
Defense  Plans.  Your- future 
friend  and  neighbor,  Leonard 
B. 

"How    about    you,    Vic? 
Anything  you'd  like?" 

"Well,  my  school  bill's  kinda 


high..." 

He  cut  me  off  short.  "Do  I 
look  like  a  millionaire?" 

By  now,  I  thought,  Nick  had 
mellowed  somewhat.  He 
always    had    the    November 

"Listen  Santa.    I  have  to  be 
getting  back  to  Collegedale.  I 
just  want  you  to  know  every- 
thing's going  to  go  like  clock- 
He  tried  to  smile. 
"That's   my   old    Santa,"    I 
said.    "Why  don't  you  spend 
Christmas   at    my    place?"    I 
suggested. 
He  brightened  at  the  idea. 
"Say,    that'd   be   great,"   he 
said.   "Could  I  bring  Rudolph 

"No  way,"  I  said.  "Don't 
you  remember  what  he  did  on 
the  living  room  carpet?" 

"Oh,  I  forgot,"  blushed 
Santa.  "Well,  Merry  Christ- 
mas, Vic."

Talge  Hall  basement  evacuated 


An  eviction  notice  was  given 
to  the  basement  residents  of 
Talge  Hall  on  Thursday, 
November  11,  1982,  due  to  a 
"nit-picky"  inspection  made 
by  the  state  fire  marshall  on 
Wednesday,  according  to  Ted 
Evans,  Dean  of  Men.  All  20 
residents  involved  were  to  be 
moved  out  of  their  rooms 
completely  by  midnight  or 
immediate  action  would  be 
taken  by  the  officials. 

The  inspection,  the  first 
made  by  the  state  in  nine 
years  and  by  the  Collegedale 
Fire  Department  in  five  years, 
was  made  soon  after  a  com- 
plaint was  received  from 
someone  that  the  building  was 
not  in  accordance  with  fire 
codes  and  was  hazardous. 
The  complaint  was  prompted 


by 
lights 


lack  of  proper

ie  night  six  weeks  ago 
the      electricity      on 

was    off   for    a    few 


Deficiencies    found    in 
basement  by  the  officials  ' 


the 


no  fire  exits  since  the  hallway 
was  supposedly  over  300  feet 
long,  no  exit  lights,  no 
sprinkler  system  since  it  is 
underground,  and  inadequate 
stoppage  for  avenues  of  smoke 
such  as  the  trash  and  laundry 
shoots.  However,  some  of  this 
is  disclaimed  by  the  deans  and 
college  administration  as 
being  false.  The  hallway  was 
measured  by  one  of  the  deans 
and  was  said  to  be  260  feet 
long.  The  bulbs  in  the  exit 
signs  had  merely  burnt  out 
and  were  in  the  process  of 
being  changed.  "We  are 
constantly  changing  the 
bulbs,"  stated  Dean  Evans. 
"Last  year  we  put  brand  new 
ones  in,  left  them  on  24  hours 
a  day,   and   they   lasted   two 

Another  discrepancy  cited 
was  the  fire  marshall's 
contentions  that  the  basement 
rooms  were  added  after  Talge 
Hall  was  built  and  occupied  in 
1961.  Although  there  is  no 
proof  as  of  yet,  the  administra- 
tion believes  this  deniable  just 


from  the  fact  that  all  the  knobs,  etc, 
bathroom  tile,  cabinetry,  exactly  the  5 
mirrors,  door  panels,  drawer     in  the  room:

Fairyland  Club  hosts 
Holiday  banquet

the  Holiday  Banquet. 


The  Student  Association  held 
it's  annual  Holiday  Banquet 
on  November  14  at  the  Fairy- 
land Club  atop  Lookout  Moun- 
tain. About  160  ccouples 
attended  the  festivities. 
While  waiting  for  the  dinner 
and  program  to  start,  couples 
wandered  through  the  elegant 
club,  enjoying  cold  drinks  and 
a  breath-taking  view  of  Chat- 
tanooga at  night.  When  the 
program  began,  Patti  Stone 
welcomed  the  guests  and 
thanked  various  people  and 
the  social  committee  for  all  its 
hard  work.  Glen  McElroy,  a 
major  person  involved  with 
the  decorations,  offered  the 
blessing.  The  dinner  began 
with  salad  and  rolls,  then 
continued  with  baked  potato, 
mushroom  and  spinach 
quiche,  and  ended  with  coco- 
Denny  Nooner  and  Terry 
Shaw  entertained  the  guests 
with  jokes,  songs,  and  stories, 
in  beiween  introducing  each 
number  on  the  program. 
Sandra   Schiau    sang    "What 


Child  Is  This?"  accompanied 
by  a  string  quartet.  Mark 
Humeniuk  and  Joanna  Powell 
sang  a  duet  of  the  popular 
song  "Up  Where  We 
Belong".  Dana  Reed  put 
everything  into  his  version  of 
"Just  Once".  Mike  McClung 
and  David  Butler  played  an 
instrumental  selection,  "Time 
In  A  Bottle'  *  and  Cary  Gregory 
rounded  off  the  evening's 
musical  entertainment  with 
"Somewhere  Down  The 
"Road". 
A  film,  based  on  the  classic 
novel  "Wuthering  Heights", 
and  starring  Lawrence  Olivier, 
was  shown  and  ended  the 
evening.  Overall  response  to 
the  banquet  was  excellent.  "I 
really  enjoyed  the  food  and  the 
program,"  one  student 
commented.  Another  added, 
"It  was  one  of  the  best 
banquets  I've  ever  been  to." 
Many  of  the  participants 
agreed  with  one  SC  student 
who  stated,  "1  wish  they  had 
discovered  the  Fairyland  Club 
before!"

~  All  things  work  together 
for  good    --even. love 

My  dearest. 
Everyone  longs  to  give  themselves  completely  to  someone, 
to  have  a  deep  soul  relationship  with  another,  to  be  loved 
thoroughly  and  exclusively.  But  God,  to  a  Christian,  says  no, 
not  until  you  are  satisfied  and  fulfilled  and  content  with  being 
loved  by  me  alone,  with  giving  yourself  totally  and 
unreservedly  to  me  to  have  an  intensely  personal  and  unique 
relationship  with  me  alone.  I  love  you  my  child,  and  until  you 
discover  that  only  in  me  is  your  satisfaction  to  be  found,  you 
will  not  be  capable  of  the  perfect  human  relationship  that  I 
have  planned  for  you.  You  will  never  be  united  with  another 
until  you  are  united  with  me — exclusive  of  any  other  desires 
or  longings.  I  want  you  to  stop  planning,  stop  wishing,  and 
allow  me  to  give  you  the  most  thrilling  plan  existing — one 
that  you  cannot  imagine.  I  want  you  to  have  the  best.  Please 
allow  me  to  bring  it  to  you.  You  keep  watching  me,  expecting 
the  greatest  things.  Keep  that  satisfaction  knowing  that  I 
AM.  Keep  learning  and  listening  to  the  things  I  tell  you  and 
you  must  wait.  Don't  be  anxious  and  don't  worry.  Don't  look 
around  at  the  things  others  have  gotten  or  that  I  have  given 
them.  Don't  look  at  the  things  you  think  you  want.  Just  keep 
looking  off  and  away  up  to  me  or  you'll  miss  what  I  have  to 
show  you.  And  then,  when  you're  ready,  I'll  surprise  you 
with  a  love  far  more  wonderful  than  you  would  ever  dream. 
You  see,  until  you  are  ready  and  until  the  one  I  have  for  you 
is  ready,  (I'm  working  right  this  minute  to  have  both  of  you 
ready  at  the  same  time)  and  until  you  are  both  satisfied 
exclusively  with  me  and  the  life  I  have  prepared  for  you,  you 
won't  be  able  to  experience  the  love  that  exemplifies  your 
relationship  with  me,  and  this  is  the  greatest  and  most 
perfect  LOVE. 

And  my  dear  one,  I  want  you  to  have  this  most  wonderful 
love.  I  want  you  to  see  in  the  flesh  a  picture  of  your 
relationship  with  me  and  enjoy  materially  and  concretely  the 
everlasting  union  of  beauty  and  perfection  and  love  that  I 
offer  you  with  myself.  I  love  you  utterly.  I  AM  God 
almighty.    BELIEVE  AND  BE  SATISFIED. 

Your  Heavenly  Father

Everyone  knows  a  roach  is  a  roach  is  a  roach.  Right?  Wrong!  Here  on  the  campus  of  SC 
(SMC  for  goodness  sake!)  we  have  a  mean  variety  of  the  little  buggers,  so  to  keep  our  readers 
well  informed  we  present  THE  STUDENT'S  GUIDE  TO  ROACHES  AT  SC. 

Furstus,  we  have  the  American  kind  that  is  atypical  of  this  area.  (Periplaneta  americana 
tennessea  southerna  collegedalia  missionaria  taiga  dormitoria).  Raccoon  coat,  SC  pennant 
and  old  brown  suitcase  are  standard. 

Second,  like,  is  the  Brown-Banded  type,  (supella  supelletilium  Iibraria).  [490.540  ROAC] 
Found  among  the  bookshelves  and  carrols  of  the  library,  "digesting"  knowledge. 

Third  wise,  we  have  the  German  variety,  (Blattella  germanica  cafeteria).  Habitats:  The  cafe, 
snackbar  and  CK. 

And  in  fourth  and  fifth  place  we  have  a  couple  of  roaches  to  keep  our  foreign  students  happy. 
The  Oriental  and  Mexican  roach,  (Blatta  orientalis  imparta  froma  asia  and  Blatta  mexicana  que 
coma  juevas  rancheros). 

I  have  even  heard  of  one  roach  from  our  Ingles  brotherland  Australia,  (Periplaneta 
australasiae  downa  undera).  But  a  roach  by  any  other  name  is  still  a  roach.   Right?  Right!

Dear  Editor: 

In  response  to  your  editorial 
of  last  week,  "The  College- 
dale  Syndrome,"  I  feel  com- 
pelled to  reply.  Several 
statements  you  made  were 
erroneous  and  you  have 
labeled  me  as  "disgruntled" 
which  is  not  good  journalism 
ethics. 

I  mentioned  no  one  by  name 
in  my  letter  (an  example  which 
you  chose  to  ignore)  and  only 
suggested  some  possible 
alternatives  to  a  paradoxical 
situation  existing  on  campus. 
I  did  not  pass  judgment  on 
anyone  and  did  not  condemn 
anyone  in  my  letter.  Rather  I 
pointed  out  a  problem  and 
some  possible  solutions. 

Your  editorial,  however,  was 
written  on  a  somewhat  lower 
level.  Even  though  the  basic 
thrust  of  your  editorial  seemed 
to  be  speaking  out  against  the 
exaggeration  of  reports  and 
spreading  of  gossip  in  Col- 
legedale,  you  chose  to  men- 
tion me  by  name  twice  (in- 
stead of  merely  referring  to 
my  letter)  and  even  chose  to 
call  me  "disgruntled,"  not  a 
complimentary  term  in  any 
language. 

This  type  of  labeling  might 
be  expected  some  place  else 
but  ,t  ,s  not  the  best  policy  td 


follow  here  at  SC.  May  I 
suggest  The  Christian  As  A 
Journalist  by  Richard  T.  Baker 
as  a  primer  to  developing 
sound  journalism  ethics? 

Secondly,  I  did  not  say  that 
SAC's  food  service  system 
was  superior  to  that  of  SC.  I 
only  mentioned  their  method 
of  handling  the  Sabbath  meal 
situation  as  one  possible  solu- 
tion to  the  problem.  This  is 
the  way  that  it  was  done  at 
SAC  only  two  years  ago  when  I 
was  there.  Also,  I  have  talked 
to  students  from  other  col- 
leges, and  I  understand  that  it 
is  also  done  this  way  at  Walla 
Walla. 

The  fact  that  you  "enjoyed 
many  hot  Sabbath  meals" 
while  at  SAC  (when?)  only 
adds  to  my  argument  that  if  so 
many  community  folks  did  not 
eat  at  the  cafeteria  on  Sab- 
bath, and  in  fact  invited  a 
student  to  their  home  for 
Sabbath  dinner,  it  would  help 
the  situation  greatly. 

I  expected  the  type  of  letters 
that  responded  to  mine,  which 
exhibited  a  lack  of  thorough 
reading  and  understanding  of 
my  letter  and  for  that  reason 
deserve  no  response.  I  did  not 


however,  expect  the  unethical 
and  unprofessional  labeling, 
innuendos,  and  exaggerations 
(the  Collegedale  Syndrome!)  | 
of  my  letter  which  were  in- 
cluded in  your  editorial. 
Certainly     a     student    can  ] 
expect    other    students   and 
possibly  even  former  employ- 
ees   and    wives    of   faculty 
members  to  disagree  with  a 
stand  he  has  taken  or  .opinio"-

Student  Aid  Dept.  works 
toyk£epstudents  in  school 


rt  i  h    a   sharp  pencil    and    a 

.luirp  mind,  .he  staff  of  the 
Student  Aid  Department  can 
whip  up  a  remedy  for  your 
financial  woes.  Laurel  Wells, 
director  of  Student  Aid.  was 
once  a  struggling  student 
herself. 

Mrs.  Wells  says  that  she 
understands  the  needs  of  stu- 
dents and  if  students  have  any 
financial  worries  or  problems, 
they  should  come  by  and  talk 
with  her.  Mrs.  Wells  feels 
that  many  students  who  are 
confused  and  worried  over 
their  money  situation  just  sit 
around  in  their  room  and 
contemplate  packing  up  and 
leaving  school.  The  aid  office 
is  sincere  in  trying  to  help 
students  cope  with  their  edu- 
cation experience  at  Southern 
College.  They  are  actively 
involved  in  lobbying  for  more 
federal  aid  for  students. 

The  Student  Finance  Office 
went  out  on  a  limb  for  those 
eligible  for  aid  this  past 
summer  by  sending  award 
letters  without  actually  being 
sure    of    what     the     federal 


ali- 


as going  to  be.  As 
lurnedout,  they  were  within 
comfortable  SI. 700  of  last 
ar's  funding.    There  were, 


as  we  heard,  cutbacks  in 
federal  aid.  But  recently,  an 
additional  amount  has  come  to 
the  college  for  those  who  are 
eligible  for  a  federal  grant  up 
to  a  maximum  51,674  for  this 
year.  It  will  then  be  increased 
to  $1,800.  which  was  last 
year's  figure. 

Our  college  has  a  good  record 
of  students  paying  back  their 
federal  loans.  Mrs.  Wells 
warns  that  those  who  are 
either  delinquent  or  default  on 
one  of  these  loans  to  beware. 
The  government  is  really  go- 
ing after  them.  Surprisingly, 
the  federal  government  is 
putting  fire  under  3,900  of  its 
own  employees  within  the 
Office  of  Education  who  are 
themselves  delinquent  or 
default  on  their  federal  loans. 

When  it  comes  to  campus 
jobs  next  year,  the  Student 
Aid  Office  is  hoping  to  classify 
campus  jobs  with  different  pay 
scales  according  to  individual 
students'  skills.  Of  jobs  here 
on  campus,  Mrs.  Wells  said 
that  the  desk  jobs  are  the  most 
sought  after  by  work-study 
students 


Laurel  Wells 

most  trouble  in   holding  col 

us    is    because     lege  help  is  the  Service  De 

study   in    their     partment.       This    is    under7 


spare  time.  standable    because    cleaning 

The  department  that  has  the     toilets  is  not  a  very  appealing 


job.  Fortunately,  we  have  tf 
faithful  academy  students 
help  out  in  this  area. 


Anderson  presents  Gospel  of  John 


by  Dick  Bird 

"I  think  the  King  James 
Version  of  the  Bible  is  the 
greatest  Book  in  the  world," 
said  British  actor  John  Stuart 
Anderson,  following  his  per- 
formance in  the  Collegedale 
church  last  Friday  evening. 

A  solo  actor,  Anderson  has 
performed  his  interpretation 
of  the  Gospel  of  John  for  the 
past  15  years,  having 
appeared  in  churches  and 
theaters  in  the  United  States 
and  England. 

In  a  time  when  modern 
translations  are  becoming 
popular,  Anderson  finds  the 
King  James  Version  superior. 
"I  view  the  Bible  much  like  I 
do  music,"  said  Anderson. 
"The  King  James  is  an  origi- 
nal. Every  other  one  is  an 
arrangement." 

When  asked  if  he  was  famil- 
iar with  the  New  King  James 
translation,  Anderson  retorted 


"I'm  aware  of  it,  and  like 
Ernest  Angley  in  the  Read- 
er's Digest  Bible,  I  would 
willingly  burn  it.*'  Anderson 
has,  upon  request,  performed 
from  the  Living  Bible,  which 
he  likes,  but  made  no  bones 
about  his  preference. 
Anderson's  performances 
have,  at  times,  been  criticized 
for  a  lack  of  spirituality.  In 
defense,  he  replied,  "You  look 
at  the  Gospel  of  John  and 
show  me  where  the  spiritual 
.  Jesus  is  being  very 
■  earth  and  telling 
here  to  get  off."  He 
o  say  that  he  is  not  a 
n  and  never  claimed 
Anderson  is  more 
concerned  with  the  perfor- 
mance than  with  theological 
accuracy. 

Though    he    has    performed 
from  the  Bible  for  many  years, 


parts  ar 

people 
went  on 
theolog: 


Anderson  still  enjoys  reading 
it  for  his  personal  pleasure. 
"You  cannot  read  from  the 
Bible  as  long  as  1  have  without 
having  it  touch  you  in  some 
way,"  said  the  well-known 
orator.  He  also  expressed  a 
sound  satisfaction  in  the  style 
of  the  scriptures. 
When  asked  if  he  offered  any 
advice  to  aspiring  actors, 
Anderson  offered  the  follow- 
ing remarks:  "Plan  your 
career  very  carefully.  Don't 
think  you  necessarily  need  to 
go  to  New  York  or  L.A.  If 
you're  really  serious,  start  a 
program  here  in  Chattanooga, 


and  just  do  it." 

Anderson  spoke  highly  of 
Southern  College  and  its  stu- 
dents and  hopes  to  visit  again. 
He  was  particularly  fond  of 
radio  station  WSMC,  because 
of  its  selections  in  classical 
music.  When  asked  about  the 
cafeteria  food,  Anderson 
recalled  his  confusing  a  fish 
patty  for  a  slice  of  burned 
toast.  He  was,  however, 
pleasantly  surprised  on  one 
occasion.  "I  had  a  glass  of 
some  type  of  muddy  water," 
recalled  Anderson,  "it  tasted 
of  apples  and  was  very  nice."

Contemporary   Christian   music  —    is     it     good? 


i 


(3i. 


YES 


I   think   that    first,    contem- 
porary Christian  music  must 
be  defined  before  I  do  any 
writing   about    the    subject. 
Contemporary  Christian 

music  is  nothing  more  than 
new  Christian  music.  That 
includes  not  only  "Jesus 
Rock"  but  the  new  little  songs 
you  hear  in  Cradle  Roll.  I 
don't  know  any  of  us  who  have 
any  trouble  accepting  the  little 
songs  you  hear  in  Cradle  Roll 
but  when  you  start  adding  a 
guitar  and  drums  it  gets  a 
little  harder  for  us  to  accept 
the  music  as  appropriate  for 
Christians  to  listen  to.  Let's 
look  at  "Jesus  Rock".  Most  of 


the  songs  are  testimonies  and 
the  rest  are  straight  out  praise 
to  God.  Now  I  don't  expect 
someone's  grandmother  to 
enjoy  "Jesus  Rock"  but  a 
Christian  who  is  used  to 
hearing  Rock  'n'  Roll  will 
understand  the  message  in  the 
song.      Furthermore,   I   have 

never  been  to  a  contemporary 
Christian  concert  where  some- 
body didn't  give  his  or  her 
heart  to  the  Lord.  In  closing,  I 
just  want  to'  say,  a  match  can 
burn  your  finger  or  light  your 
fire.  A  style  of  music  can  be 
used  to  burn  your  soul  or  light 
a  fire  in  you  for  God.

The  major  questions  being 
asked  the  fire  officials  by  the 
deans  and  the  college 
administrations,  how  is  it  that 
after  all  these  years,  Talge 
Hall  is  suddenly  found  hazard- 
ous enough  to  justify  locking 
up  the  doors  of  the  whole 
building,  as  threatened  by  the 
fire  marshall,  and  why  was  the 
college  not  informed  of  the 
changes  that  had  to  be  made? 
The  Collegedale  Fire  Depart- 
ment Chief,  Duayne  Pitts, 
answered  that  it  was  '  'because 
of  the  consequences  of  loss  of 
life"  that  the  edict  was 
served.  "Our  number  one 
priority  is  to  get  rid  of  life 
hazards,  to  eliminate  anything 
that  could  cause  loss  of  life." 
He  also  stated  that  "some 
time  ago  an  inspection  was 
made  and  deficiencies  were 
cited"  to  the  college  which 
were  never  corrected. 
Although  Dean  Evans  was 
not  the  head  dean  at  the  time 
the  last  inspection  was  made, 
he  stated,  "I've  never  once 
seen  any  report  on  the  things 
that  had  to  be  done.  There 
has  been  no  communication 
with  them  whatsoever."  He 
also  commented,  "Inspections 
just  aren't  made  on  a  regular 
basis,  and  if  they're  really 
concerned  about  a  loss  of  life, 
why  aren't  regular  checks 
made?  Chief  Pitt's  suggestion 
that  we  move  the  fellows  into 
Jones  Hall  was  certainly  not  in 
accordance  with  that  concern. 
Although  there's  a  sprinkler 
system,  it's  a  fire  trap."  Dean 
Evans  also  brought  up  the 
question  as  to  why  officials 
weren't  more  concerned  with 
'-,lher  colleges,  one  thai  he 
knew  of  in  particular,  that 
really  did  have  buildings  badly 


in  need  of  improvement. 

Chief  Pitts  explained  that  in 
the  whole  state  of  Tennessee, 
there  are  only  14  people  to 
inspect  every  elementary 
school,  high  school,  and 
college,  public  or  private,  and 
although  inspections  are 
supposed  to  be  made  every 
year,  there  aren't  enough 
people  to  make  it  possible. 
"In  actuality,  any  building 
being  inspected,  if  going  by 
the  strict  letter  of  the  fire  law, 
would  flunk  in  one  part  or 
another."  In  response  to  why 
Southern  College  was  sudden- 
ly hit  with  an  inspection,  he 
stated,  "When  a  complaint  is 
received,  it  has  priority  over 
all  else." 

The  college,  however,  plans 
to  check  which  codes  apply, 
what  should  be  done  in  terms 
of  safety,  and  according  to  Dr. 
Knittle,  will  possibly  "get  the 
legal  people  on  it." 

The  Evictees  were  assigned  | 
to  room  with  resident  assist- 
ants and  other  Talge  residents 
who  previously  had  rooms  to 
themselves.  "Unfortunately, 
this  will  have  to  stay  on  a 
semi-permanent  basis,"  stat- 
ed Dean  Evans.  The  require- 
ment that  the  basement  have  a 
sprinkler  system  with  an 
independent  water  supply 
from  the  rest  of  the  building 
and  the  requirement  that  a  fire 
exit  door  be  made  from  the 
center  of  the  building  is  just 
too  impractical  for  the  college 
to  consider  at  this  time. 

Earl  Johnson,  one  of  the 
basement  residents  who  was 
displaced,  commented  "It 
created  a  hassle,  the  process 
<Jt  moving  and  everything," 
out  Rex  Johnson  appropriately 
expressed  the  feeling  of  most 
involved   when    he    said     "It 


How  good  it  is  that  God  above 

has  never  gone  on  strike. 
Because  He  was  not  treated 

fair  in  things  He  didn't  like. 
If  only  once  He'd  given  up  and 

said,  "That's  it,  I'm  through! 
"I've  had  enough  of  those  on 

Earth,  so  this  is  what  I'll  do: 
"I'll  give  my  orders  to  the  sun 

-cut  off  the  heat  supply! 
"And  to  the  moon  -  give  no

really  tough  and  put  the 

pressure  on, 
"Turn  off  the  vital  oxygen  till 

every  breath  is  gone!" 
You  know.  He  would  be 

justified,  if  fairness  was  the 

game, 
For  no  one  has  been  more 

abused  or  met  with  more 

disdain, 
Than  God,  and  yet  He  carries 

on,  supplying  you  and  me. 
With  all  the  favor  of  His  grace, 

and  everything  for  free. 
Men  say  they  want  a  better

go. 
But  what  a  deal  \ 


We  don't  care  whom  we  hur 

to  gain  the  things  we  like; 
But  what  a  mess  we'd  all  'b< 
in,  if  God  should  go  on  strike. 


First  of  all,  let  me  explain 
precisely  to  what  I  will  be 
addressing  this  article.  I  am 
writing  with  Christian  rock  in 
mind.  My  definition  of  Christ- 
ian rock  is  any  Christian  music 
which,  were  secular  words  to 
be  substituted  for  the  original 
religious  ones,  would  not  be 
out  of  place  on  any  radio 
station  such  as  KZ-106.  Two 
things  which  characterize  the 
music  to  which  I  am  referring 
are  a  heavy  beat  and  unintel- 
ligible words.  I  am  not 
speaking  of  the  contemporary 
Christian  music  performed  by 
groups  such  as  Harvest 
Celebration  and  Heritage 
Singers. 

Christian  Rock,  to  me  is  no 
more  than  secular  music  with 
Christian  words  to  it — words 
that  can  hardly  be  understood 
anyway.  All  rock  music  seems 
to  rely  more  on  beat  and 
volume  than  lyrics  to  convey 
emotions,  since  the  words  are 
either  shrieked  into  distortion, 
covered  up  by  the  beat,  or 
repeated  so  many  times  that 
they  lose  their  significance. 
They  become  just  another 
rhythm  instrument  to  add  to 
the  mood.  Since  the  words 
take  second  place  in  this  type 
of  music,  it  is  obvious  that  the 
"Christian"  in  Christian  rock 
is  taking  second  place  to  the 
"rock"— that  is,  the  music  is 
going  to  have  more  effect  on 
the  listener  than  are  the 
words. 

It  is  a  fairly  well  accepted  fact 
f    not    all     rock 


contains  a  certain  element  of 
spintuahsm  or  sexual  connota- 
ions  or  both,  in  the  lyrics  and 
the  music  itself.  The  music 
sets  the  mood  for  the  lyrics  to 
be  accepted  while  Christian 
rock  eliminates  spiritualistic 
and  suggestive  lyrics.  The 
rhythm  and  orchestration  is 
still  present,  creating  the 
same  mood  and  evoking  the 
same  emotions  and  impulses 
that  it  would  if  it  accompanied 
spiritualistic  and/or  sugges- 
tive words.  Doesn't  it  seem  a  I 
bit  sacreligious  to  combine  the 
devil's  music  with  Christian  I 
words?  It  seems  to  be  a  clever 
game  the  devil  is  playing— 
disguising  rock  music,  one  of  I 
his  very  effective  tools,  with  ] 
the  name  of  Christianity  to  J 
make  it  appear  acceptable.  In  ' 
this  way  he  can  draw  people 
into  the  trap  of  listening  to 
that  type  of  music,  and  once 
they  are  addicted  to  the  feel-  i 
ing  it  gives  them  it  is  very  easy  | 
for  them  to  listen  to  the  real 
thing.  This  same  principle  1 
also  works  in  reverse— a  1 
person  who  is  trying  to  get  "j

^Dttecftofts 


Pastor  Gordon  Bietz 


Once  upon  a  time  in  Fenton 
Forest  there  came  up  the 
discussion  of  forest  behavior 
relative  to. .well  it  is  a  rather 
embarrassing  subject  to  write 
about  but  it  seems  that  many 
of  the  animals  were  ignoring 
the  impact  of  their  actions  in 
j  public.  They  were,  well, 
es  were  getting  too  friend- 
ly in  public  to  the  embarrass- 
ment of  other  members  of  the 
forest  community. 

There  was  a  general  meeting 
held  of  all  the  animals  and 
they  discussed  this  problem. 
Wise    Old    Owl    called    the 

leeting  to  order  and  sought  to 
have  all  the  members  of  the 
Fenton  Forest  community 
e  to  some  kind'  of  agree- 
ment as  to  what  was  appro- 
priate public  behavior 
/een  boys  and  girls  and 
what  was  not  appropriate. 

Eventually  there  was  general 
agreement  among  most  of  the 
animals  that  some  restraint 
needed  to  be  used  for  what 
went  on  in  public.  It  was 
agreed  that  some  behavior 
between  two  friends  should  be 


only  between  them  and  should 
be  kept  private.  Everyone 
agreed,  that  is,  everyone 
except  Freddy  Fox  and 
Sammy  Skunk.  They  thought 
it  was  not  anyone  else's 
business  what  they  did  or  did 
not  do  in  public  and  they  left 
the  meeting  in  a  huff.  And,  of 
course,  anytime  that  Sammy 
Skunk  left  a  meeting  in  a  huff 
everyone  knew  it.  (It  might  be 
more  appropriately  put  that  he 
left  the  meeting  in  a  puff.) 

The  animals  who  remained 
all  indicated  that  they  would 
seek  to  live  by  this  new 
consensus  and  they  all  left  the 
meeting  in  good  spirits.  All 
went  well  for  a  time  and 
everyone  seemed  to  be  happy. 
But  one  thing  that  bothered 
many  of  the  animals  was  that 
they  could  not  get  Freddy  the 
Fox  or  Sammy  the  Skunk  to 
participate. 

Freddy,  who  had  been  one  of 
the  worst  offenders,  did  try  at 
first  to  be  more  careful.  He 
and  his  girlfriend  tried  to  be 
more  private  and  no  one  was 
embarrassed  by  his  behavior 


for  a  number  of  months. 

But  Sammy  was  so  upset  at 
the  community  intrusion  into 
what  he  considered  was  his 
private  behavior  that  he  made 
a  big  stink  about  it.  And  when 
Sammy  and  Petunia  (that  was 
his  girlfriend's  name)  decided 
to  make  a  big  stink  they  could 
really  do  it.  They  paid  no 
attention  to  the  sensibilities  of 
other  members  in  the  Fenton 
Forest  family  and  in  fact  there 
were  some  who  thought  that 
they  went  out  of  their  way  to 
offend  others. 

It  became  so  repulsive  to  the 
forest  family,  and  especially  to 
visitors  who  did  not  live  in  the 
forest,  that  no  longer  did  the 
issue  concern  general 
behavior  between  animals  in 
the  forest.  The  issue  was  now 
Sammy  and  Petunia 

themselves. 

Wise  Old  Owl  found  it 
necessary  to  call  another 
meeting  of  all  of  the  Fenton 
Forest  inhabitants  to  discuss 
Sammy  and  Petunia's 
behavior.  Well  they  boycotted 
the   meeting.      Most   of   the 


other  animals  were  just"  as 
glad  that  they  did  for  they 
didn't  think  that  they  could 
have  stood  to  be  around  the 
two  of  them  when  they  were  in 
one  of  those  moods. 

In  the  meeting  they 
discussed  at  length  what  to  do 
about  Sammy's  behavior. 
Many  ideas  were  suggested. 
Gruff,  the  bear,  said,  "Just 
give  me  permission  and  I  will 
take  care  of  it."  But  he  said  it 
in  such  a  way  that  the  other 
animals,  thought  he  might  do 
harm  to  Sammy  and  most  of 
them  thought  that  that  was  a 
bit  drastic. 

Lighffoot,  the  deer,  had  the 
idea  to  shame  Sammy  and 
Petunia  into  stopping  their 
inappropiate  behavior.  He 
said,  "Everytime  that  Sammy 
and  Petunia  are  observed  in 
some  public  behavior  that 
does  not  show  good  judge- 
ment lets  all  gather  around 
and  watch."  "Do  you  have 
any  idea,"  replied  Randy 
Raccoon,  "how  far  away  you 
have  to  be  from  Sammy  when 
he    is    angry?"        Everyone 


agreed  that,  though  it  sound- 
ed like  a  good  idea,  in  this 
case  it  would  not  work,  for 
Sammy  and  Petunia  just  had 
no  shame  and  when  they  got 
angry. ..whew! 
Other  ideas  were  discussed, 
but  aside  from  jail  and 
excommunication  from  the 
forest,  most  of  the  ideas  were 
either  not  enforceable,  or  they 
were  just  too  severe  to  fit  the 
crime.  It  became  apparent  in 
the  discussion  that  there  were 
some  things  in  social  behavior 
that  were  just  assumed  by 
most  well  bred  folks  and  it  was 
hard  to  convince  some  like 
Sammy  and  Petunia  that  there 
were  some  things  that  were 
just  not  in  good  taste. 

Finally  Wise  Old  Owl 
summed  up  their  meeting  and 
discussion.  He  said,  "You 
simply  have  to  remember, 
some  residents  of  our 
community  are  just  a  bunch  of 
animals." 


Heifetz    to    perform 


The  Southern  College  Sym- 
phony Orchestra  will  present 
its  first  on-campus  concert  of 
the  season  on  Saturday  even- 
ing, November  20,  at  8  p.m.  in

'n    in    Missouri,     Daniel 
Heifetz  grew  up  in  southern 
California  and  at  the  age  of  six 
began  to  study  the  violin.  He 
completed    a    public    school 
|  education  at  the  age  of  sixteen

Brezhnev 
remembered  byB„,B„,h 


Accomplished  leaders  do  not 
fall  from  the  skies,  (key  are 
raised  up  only  in  the  course  of 
the  struggle. 

-Joseph  Stalin 

In  1964,  Leonid  Ilyich 
Brezhnev  rose  up  seemingly 
from  nowhere  to  eventually 
become  the  unchallenged 
ruler  of  one  of  the  two  most 
powerful  nations  on  earth.  As 
the  Stalin  quote  indicates, 
however,  leaders  of 

Brezhnev's  caliber  don't  just 
"fall  from  the  skies."  Where 
then,  did  Brezhnev  acquire 
the  instinct  for  survival 
needed  to  cross  the  "obstacle- 
strewn  path  to  power?"  Ac- 
cording to  Brezhnev:  "My 
own  perception  of  life  was 
shaped  largely  by  the  thought 
and  aspirations  of  the  working 
,"  and  by  "an  historical 
event  of  immense  signifi- 
:ance,"  the  Russian  Revolu- 

That  Brezhnev's  life  "was 
shaped  largely  by  the 
houghts   and   aspirations   of 


ihe  workingman"  is  beyond 
question.  There  had  been 
steel  workers  in  his  father's 
family  going  back  through 
four  generations. 

The  importance  of  the  Revo- 
lution and  the  bloody  civil  war 
which  followed  are  equally 
undeniable.  When  the  Revo- 
lution came  in  November, 
1917,  Brezhnev  was  a  medi- 
ocre student  at  the  elite 
Czarist  gymnasium  in  the 
Ukranian  town  of  Kamen- 
skoye.  As  1917  drew  to  a 
close,  Soviet  forces  occupied 
Kamenskoye  and  executed 
approximately  1.7  million 
intellectual,  religious,  and 
middle-class  leaders. 

The  executions  ended  tempo- 
rarily in  February  when  Aus- 
trian troops  occupied  Kamen- 
skoye, but  the  civil  war  began 
in  earnest  when  they  left  after 
Austria  surrendered  to  the 
Allies  in  November. 

From  November,  1918  until 
January  1920,  Kamenskoye 
became  a  battleground  not 
only  for  Royalist  White  and 
Soviet  Red  armies,  but  for  the 
povstantsy  (peasant  gangs)  as 
well,  who  would  regularly 
enter  the  town,  looting  and 
killing  until  the  Red  Army 
was  finally  able  to  defeat 
them. 

Although  many  neighbors 
perished,  the  Brezhnevs  sur- 
vived this  ordeal.  Their 
troubles  weren't  over,  though. 


The  war  and  a  severe  drought 
gave  them  famine  and  disease 
to  contend  with. 

Three  million  Ukrainians 
died  from  various  diseases, 
including  30  of  Brezhnev's  44 
classmates.  Brezhnev  became 
seriously  ill  himself  but  sur- 
vived. As  one  biographer 
noted,  these  experiences 
helped  Brezhnev  develop  the 
"profound  instinct  for  self- 
preservation"  that  served  him 
so  well  in  later  years. 

Brezhnev  joined  a  Commun- 
ist youth  group  in  1923,  and 
was  picked  to  go  to  an 
agricultural  school.  After 
graduation  in  1927,  he  began 
working  in  Stalin's  infamous 
"collectivization"  program 
which  resulted  in  the  deaths  of 
over  20  million  Soviet  peas- 
ants. His  loyalty  to  Stalin  paid 
off  in  a  promotion  to  head  the 
local  Land  Department.  He 
joined  the  Communist  party  in 
1929. 

Thus  Brezhnev  began  the 
long,  arduous  climb  to  the  top 
of  the  Soviet  political  machine. 
His  role  as  a  political  officer  in 
World  War  II  brought  him  to 
Stalin's  attention'^nd,  in  1952. 
he  was  elevated  to  the  ruling  j^fc 
national  Politburo.  By  1964  he  '^ 
was  in  position,  as  one  of 
Nikita  Khrushchev's  relatively 
unknown  and  "[rusted" 
aides,  to  overthrow  Khruschev 
and  assume  joint  leadership

Dear  Profs: 

I'll  say!  Sorry,  but  1  think 
your  formula  leaked  out 
already.  If  only  you'd  been  as 
secretive  as  the  skunk,  you 
might've  gotten  somewhere. 


Besides,  I'm  already  making 
good    money;    I'm    on    work- 

Hey,  man. 

Like  we  could  really  get  into 
coming  into  that  music  build- 
ing of  yours  and  gettin'  down 
on  some  jammin'  out.  Like 
hey,  we  can  give  ya  some  real 
music;  you.  uh,  don't  think 
anyone  would  mind,  huh? 

'Predate  it,  man — 
Van  Halen 
Dear  VH: 

Fine  with  me.  I'm  not  sure 
what  type  of  music  you  folks 
prefer;  are  you  anything  like

r)    Great  moments 


a 


One  semester  at  Southern  College  has  slipped  by  in  record 

time.   The  hustle  and  bustle  of  our  everyday  lives  seems  to 

make  time  fly.  Yet,  for  some  people,  time  became  an  enemy. 

Each  moment  seemed  to  be  filled  with  heartache  and  pain. 
Each  day  seemed  to  bring  fresh  wounds  from  dagger-like 
tongues.  Even  though  attacks  against  people  connected  with 
the  college  and  the  church  have  decreased,  vicious  rumors 
stilJ  fly--a  pastor  is  a  heretic,  a  conference  president  will  be 
forced  to  resign,  two  couples  have  swapped  wives  during 
vacation. 

People  seem  to  forget  the  pain  they  can  inflict.  They  forget 
that  the  stories  they  hear  at  the  beauty  parlor  or  the  barber 
shop  or  over  the  phone  lines  can  be  totally  false  or,  at  best, 
greatly  exaggerated. 

Or  they  forget  that  some  things  are  better  left  unsaid--that 
no  juicy  news  may  just  be  good  news. 

At  this  point,  lean  hear  some  of  the^ccenr's  readers  asking 
why  the  editor  is  rehashing  a  topic  discussed  in  a  previous 
editorial,  "The  Collegedale  Syndrome.*'  It  is  because  the 
time  has  come  for  a  change.  It  is  the  time  for  "great 
moments"— a  time  when  people  reflect  on  the  good  instead 
of  the  bad.  It  is  the  time  to  offer  a  helping  hand  instead  of 
the  knockout  punch. 

During  this  holiday  season  and  throughout  the  coming  new 
year,  reflect  on  the  "great  moments"  instead  of  the  bad.  A 
person  once  said  that  "life  is  not  measured  in  days  but  in 
memories."  Let's  make  those  memories  worth  recalling.

Dear  Editor: 

Lately  it  seems  that  this 
column  has  been  used  as  a 
means  to  wage  persona]  war- 
fare fc.hu.pn  inriuri/luaU  over 

principles,  opinions,  ideas 
and  ethics. 

As  it  is  standard  policy  for 
the  Southern  Accent  to  print 
all  signed  letters  to  the  Editor, 
1  am  directing  this  to  those 
who  have  written  demeaning 
letters  in  the  past. 

The  column  is  for  the  expres- 
sion of  opinions  and  respon- 
sive opinions  as  well,  but 
lately  the  letters  have  carried 
overtones  of  hostility  and 
accusation. 

A  person  may  indeed  have  a 
legitimate  gripe  against  some- 
one else,  but  to  publicly  attack 
and  denounce  him  in  the 
school  paper  for  (he  £

Dear  Editor, 

This  letter  is  concerning 
something  of  great  importance 
which  may  be  controversial 
No,  it's  not  the  Religion 
Department.  No,  it's  not  a 
recent  chapel.  No,  it's  not  a 
prayer  meeting-this  has  to 
do  with  sanity.  But  not  just 
sanity.  It  also  includes  finan- 
oes.  Yes,  money— money  lost

keeping        with        Christian 
character. 
The  gift  of  language,  given  to 
us  by  God,  was  intended  as  a 

beautiful         instrument  of 

communication,  not  a  vehicle 
of  unhealthy  criticism  and 
accusation. 

Hasty  words,  spoken  or  writ- 
ten can  do  more  than  one 
realizes.  A  fine  reputation  can 
be  damaged,  or  a  senstive 
spot  deep  down  inside  can  be 
touched  which  may  never 
heal. 

The  Bible  says  in  Ephesians 
4:29,  31  and  32: 

"Let  no  corrupt  communica- 
tion proceed  out  of  your 
mouth,  but  that  which  is  good 
to  use  of  edifying,  that  it  may 
minister  grace  into  the 
heavens. 

Let  all  bitterness  and  wrath 
and  anger  and  clamour  and 


evil  speaking  be  put  away 
from  you  with  all  malice. 
And  be  ye  kind  one  to 
another,  tenderhearted,  for- 
giving one  another  even  as 
God  for  Christ's  sake  hath 
forgiven  you. 

As  Christians  shouldn't  we 
heed  the  counsel  of  our  God 
and  take  care  of  personal 
differences  with  individuals  in 
a  less  malicious  manner. 
There  are  so  many  worth- 
while opinions  that  it  is  sad  to 
read  such  denouncing, 
degrading  letters  reflecting  a 
christian  attitude  in  time  with 
Christ. 

Perhaps  it  gives  the  writer 
some  odd  form  of  satisfaction 
to  see  his  poisoned  words  in 
print.  But  as  a  reader,  it  gives 
no  saiisfaciion  to  me. 

Sincerely. 


we  could  have  spent  on  neces- 
sary activities  such  as  sleep- 
ing, doing  one's  laundry,  eat- 
ing, outdoor  recreation  and 
yes,  even  studying. 

A  good  example  of  what  I  am 
talking  about  happens  every 
mght  at  approximately  the 
same  time-3  a.m.  I  wake  up 
in  a  cold  sweat  only  to  discover 
that  my  roommate  has  been 
awakened  by  the  same  gnaw- 
'ng  noise  coming  from  all  over 
our  room.  My  hand  lands  on 
his  ui  a  mad  rush  for  the 
flashlight. 

We  are  not  complainers.  We 
are  just  a  couple  of  innocen 
students  searching  for 
identity  in  a  seemingly  o 
crowded  environment.  Sure 
the  administrators  have  made

reasonable  suggestion.  We 
are  not  alone  in  this  seemingly 

|  endless  battle  to  bid  our 
"guest"  farewell.  The  cause 
has  been  a  mjaor  concern  to 
others  who  have  been  need- 
lessly   abused    in    a    similar 

I  manner. 

But  things  are  looking  up. 
Why  just  yesterday  a  signup 

I  sheet  appeared   on   a   Talge 

|  Hall  bulletin  board  and  is 
already  filled  to  capacity,  re- 
vealing a  widespread  desire  to 
exterminate  these  "guests" 
once  and  for  all. 
The    brilliant     desire     idea 

j  behind  this  signup  sheet 
belongs  to  our  next  door 
neighbor.  He  feels  a  heavy 
burden  to  a  potent  chemical  to 
reverse  the  effects  of  the 
recent  '  'reproductive_agent' ' 


that  clouded  our  residence 
hall.  You  will  note  that  we  still 
use  the  pronoun  "our"  in 
front  of  the  residence  hall  and 
would  like  to  keep  it  that  way. 
By  now,  there  is  no  question  in 
your  mind  of  the  magnitude  of 
this  catastrophic  activity 
plaguing  our  homes.  Beyond 
the  shadow  of  a  doubt,  you  are 
well  aware  of  this  menace  and 
are  ready  to  cast  your  vote  for 
anyone  who  will  stand  up  in  an 
attempt  to  defy  the  adversary, 
crushing  all  hopes  for  continu- 
ing their  colonistic  behavior. 
Thank  you  for  your  over- 
whelming support  in  this 
worthy  cause  of  relocating  our 
unwanted  "guests." 

Yours  in  the  cause,

Santa  visits  Christmas  concert 


Dear  Editor, 

It  was  just  this  last  spring  as  I 
remember.  On  a  visit  to  the 
Oral  Roberts  University 
campus  I  was  blessed  to 
attend  a  gospel  concert  given 
by  Jamie  Owens-Collins  and 
the  group  Glad.  The  opening 
number  by  Glad  intrigued  me. 
The  lead  singer  started  by 
commenting  that  some  con- 
servative Christians  of  the  day 
condemned  Glad's  type  of 
music.  While  he  was  talking 
he  started  to  play  a  song  - 
'■We  Gather  Together. 
He  said,  "Back  in  the  1800's 
people  wrote  songs  to  the 
tunes  they  were  familiar  with 
(as  his  sample  song  was).  It 
just  so  happened  that  the 
tunes  were  old  tavern  tunes  to 
drink  by."  In  the  few  minutes 
that    followed,    Glad    played 


variations  of  the  song  from  the 
roaring  twenties,  from  the 
early  rock  era  and  the  Beach 
Boys.  They  finally  ended  the 
medley  in  the  theme  of  today': 
popular  music  (Not  that  I 
enjoyed  that. ) 
Glad's  philosophy  was  to 
meet  God's  children  on  their 
level  and  bring  them  to  know 
Christ  in  the  things  they  love. 
But  check  it  out  for  yourself. 
Isn't  it  the  Devil  who  is  going 
to  trap  "even  the  verv  elect" 
by  mixing  truth  with  error  as 
he  started  long  ago?  Contem- 
porary music  in  any  form  may 
or  may  not  be  your  thing.  And 
check  again  -  is  Jesus  your 
music  (as  a  contemporary 
song  says),  or  is  Jesus  Christ 
your  God  and  Saviour?

The  Concert  Band  of 
Southern  College,  with  direc- 
tor Pat  Silver,  presented  its 
annual  Christmas  concert  last 
Saturday  evening.  With  Mas- 
ter of  Ceremonies  Clyde  Garey 
announcing  the  program,  the 
band  began   the   concert    by 

playing  a  medley  of  "Do  You 
Hear  What  I  Hear?"  and 
"Snow  Bells." 

The  audience  seemed  to 
enjoy  the  Russian  Christmas 
Music,  which  was  ancient 
Russian  carols  derived  from 
liturgical  music  of  the  Eastern 
Orthodox  Church.  The  basis 
for  this  musical  impression 
was  of  Old  Russia  during  the 
jubilant  Christmas  season. 

Die  Meistersinger  high- 
lighted the  evening  by  singing 
"Have  Yourself  a  Merry  Little 


Christmas."  One  student 
remarked  that  it  really  re- 
minded, her  of  home  when 
they  sang  "Home  for  the 
Holidays." 

The  traditional  Christmas 
poem  "Twas  the  Night  Before 
Christmas"  was  told  in  a 
not-so-traditional  way  by 
Clyde  Garey,  along  with  Dick 
Dower's  multi-media  presen- 
tation. The  slides  to  illustrate 
the  story  were  crayon  draw- 
ings by  fourth  graders  at  Ruth 
Murdock  Elementary  School 
near  Andrews  University. 

The  audience  was  given  a 
chance  to  perform  as  they 
joined  the  band  in  a  sing-a- 
long led  by  Dr.  Don  Runyan. 
Some  all-time  favorites  such 
as  "Hark  the  Herald  Angels 
Sing,"  "Joy  to  the  World," 


and  "We  Wish  You  a  Merry 
Christmas"  were  sung. 

The  spirit  of  Christmas  was 
truly  felt  as  Santa  and  his 
elves  made  their  appearance 
during  "Jingle  Bell  Rock." 
Santa  gave  Mr.  Gilbert  a  pair 
of  red  gloves  for  the  orches- 
tra's trip  to  Russia  and  also  a 
red  bucket  for  the  cars  they 
would  have  to  wash  to  get 
there.  Pat  Silver's  gift  from 
Santa  was  a  bag  of  grits,  re- 
acclimating  her  in  true  South- 
ern hospitality.  As  Santa  left, 
his  elves  threw  candy  to  all, 
wishing  all  a  very  Merry 
Christmas. 

The  band  concluded  with  a 
medley  of  Christmas  songs 
performed  with  the  Southern 
College  Chorale. 


The  Stingiest  Man  in  Town 


by  Tony  Newsome 

presenled  in  Southern 
College's  Ackerman  Audi- 
torium. The  play  was  entitled 
"The  Stingiest  Man  in  Town" 
and  showed  on  Tuesday  at 
7:30  and  9:30  p.m.  and  Wed- 
nesday at  7:00  and  9:00  p.m. 
The    play     was     based    on 

I  Charles  Dicken's  "A  Christ- 
mas Carol"  and  was  a  presen- 

I  'ation  of  the  Southern  College 
Division  of  Music.  Don  C. 
Runyan  directed  the  play. 
Among  the  twenty-seven 
characters  who  made  up  the 
cast  were  "Old  Scrooge"  (por- 
trayed by  Scott  Aycock),  and 


Tiny  Tim  (played  by  Tre 
Thompson).  The  musical  play 
also  featured  the  Southern 
College  Chorale  and  the  Col- 
legedale  Caroliers. 
The  play,  which  required 
over  three  weeks  of  rehearsal 
before  showing,  made  use  of 
special  effects  including  the 
graveyard  scene.  Dry  ice  was 
used  to  cover  the  floor  with  a 
misty  fog  which  rolled  off  the 
stage  and  onto  the  feet  of  the 
audience.  This  was  the  scene 
in  which  Scrooge  saw  his  own 
tombstone.  The  play  was 
greeted  with  rounds  ol 
enthusiastic   applause

Students  tour  Big  Apple 


3 


by  Maureen  Mayden 
A  Thanksgiving  vacation 
annual  event  for  Art,  Behav- 
ioral Science,  and  Education 
students  is  the  trip  to  New 
York  City.  A  total  of  65 
students,  and  three  faculty 
members  with  their  families, 
took  the  870-mile  trip  to  the 
Big  Apple,  making  it  the 
largest  group  ever  from  the 
college  to  visit  the  city. 
Beginning  with  rain  on  a 
Saturday  night,  the  two  buses 
traveled  through  the  night  to 
reach  Washington,  D.C. 
around  6:00  a.m.  The  entire 
group  went  to  Arlington 
National  Cemetery  to  view  the 
changing  of  the  guard  at  the 
Tomb  of  the  Unknown  Soldier, 
and  to  see  Kennedy's  grave 
with  its  eternal  flame. 
The  Art  class  then  went  to 
the  Hirshhorn  Museum  of  Art 
for  a  tour  and  lecture  on  part 
of  the  permanent  collection 
housed  there.  This  museum 
has  many  sculptures  and 
paintings  in  its  collection. 
Some  of  these  include  pop-art 
by  Andy  Warhol  and  George 
Segal. 

the  students  were  allowed  to 
visit  the  Smithsonian  and  the 
Natural  History  Museums 
along  the  National  Mall.  The 
sight-seeing  was  cut  short  due 
to  an  appointment  in  Phila- 
delphia to  visit  the  Liberty  Bell 
and  Freedom  Hall. 
Then,  it  was  New  York  Cityl ! 
The  group  arrived  at  the 
Vanderbilt  YMCA  in  plenty  of 
time  to  walk  around  the 
neighborhood  and  eat  supper. 
Some  of  the  students,  includ- 
ing Steve  Schmidt,  Gary 
Muncy,  and  Danny  DuBose 
toured  42nd  Street  and  then, 
returning  to  the  Y,  met  one  of 
New  York's  finest  who  gave 


them  some  free  advice  about 
the  wisdom  of  42nd  Street 
after  dark! 
A  few  of  the  requirements  for 
the  Behavioral  Science  stu- 
dents included  the  Immigra- 
tion Museum.  China  Town, 
and  Teen  Challenge.  They 
were  also  required  to  visit  the 
Covenant  House.  Hale  House, 
and  Harlem  and  the  Bronx. 
Some  of  these  students 
included  Diana  Johnson,  Scott 
Kinsey.  J.T.  Shim,  and  Bev 
Dickerhoff. 
The  Art  class  visited  several 
museums,  including  the 
Museum  of  Modern  Art, 
which  was  undergoing 
remodeling  at  the  time  and  did 
not  have  much  of  its  per- 
manent collection  out.  Fea- 
tured was  a  show  by  Louise 
Bourgeous,  which  included 
several  sculptures,  as  well  as 
paintings. 
The  Cloisters,  part  of  the 
Metropolitan  Museum,  was  an 
interesting  museum.  It  houses 
the  Unicom  Tapestries  and 
many  other  medieval  sculp- 
tures, tapestries,  and  portions 

Bridget  Knox  and  David  Dick 
enjoyed  this  museum  quite  a 
bit. 
On  display  at  the  Whitney 
Museum  was  an  exhibit  by 
Milton  Avery,  who  is  a  con- 
temporary artist.  He  deals 
mostly  in  shapes  without 
specific  details,  such  as  facial 
features. 
The  Metropolitan  Museum 
was  a  favorite  of  many  stu- 
dents including  Jeff  Kuhlman. 
Their  permanent  collection 
was  endless  and  included 
many  paintings  of  the  Im- 
pressionist artists,  including 
Monet,  Manet,  Suerat,  and 
Cezanne.       They    were    also 


featuring  an  exhibit  about 
Alexander  the  Great  and  the 
search  for  his  treasures. 
Another  favorite  of  some  of 
the  students  was  the  Frick 
Collection.  Housed  in  a 
mansion,  it  is  a  personal 
collection  of  Henry  Clay  Fnck, 
who  left  the  entire  mansion 
and  art  objects  as  a  museum 
after  his  death. 

Featured  at  the  Solomon  R. 
Guggenheim  was  an  exhibit 
by  Yves  Klein,  who  invented 
new  colors  and  used  innovat- 
ing techniques,  such  as  blow 
torches  and  female  nudes  as 
paint  brushes. 

The  Education  students 
visited  the  Academy  for  the 
Performing  Arts  and  the 
Horace  Mann  School,  where 
kindergarten  costs  $4,000  a 
year.  They  also  went  to  the 
Chinese  Adult  Language 
School.  Patti  Stone  enjoyed 
learning  about  the  subways 
with  Lori  Koester,  and  eating 
pizza  with  "Melvin"  (Dr. 
Campbell).  They  also  visited 
the  Statue  of  Liberty  where 


they  got  stuck  on  the  ferry  for 
two  hours  because  of  fog. 
The  World  Trade  Center  and 
the  Empire  State  Building 
were  favorite  night  spots  when 
the  visibility  was  good.  Frank 
Roman,  Deborah  Bagger,  and 
Myra  Brown  visited  a  couple 
of  Broadway  plays,  while 
Cynthia  Wagner,  Eric  Mock, 
Beth  Ristenbatt,  and  Barbara 
Merritt  visited  several  of  the 
many  department  stores  on 
Fifth  Avenue.  Macy's,  Bloom- 
ingdale's,  Gucci's,  Tiffany 
and  Co.,  and  Godiva  Choco- 
lates were  stops  for  many  in 
the  group. 
Staten  Island,  the  Statue  of 
Liberty,  the  Chrysler  Build- 
ing, NBC  Studios,  the  Waldorf 
Astoria,  Grand  Central  Sta- 
tion, and  the  Pan  Am  Building 
were  daily  sights  as  the  stu- 
dents made  their  way  by  bus, 
subway,  or  taxi  to  the  various 
museums  and  places  of 
interest. 

Thanksgiving  Day  found 
several  SC  students  in  atten- 
dance at  the  Macy's  Parade. 


Sherry  Tryon  and  pa„, 
Dtckman  stood  on  the  corn 
of  Broadway  and  44th  Stree! 
and  watched  the  parade  pas. 
right  in  front  of  them.  Then 
they  rushed  off  to  help  serve 
Thanksgiving  dinner  at  the 
Salvation  Army  in  Harlem 
another  requirement  for  the 
Behavioral  Science  group. 

Despite  delays  in  leaving  the 
Big  Apple,  the  group  finally 
found  its  way  back  to  College- 
dale  on  Sunday  night  around  6 
p.m.,  November  28. 

Even  though  the  group  was 
glad  to  be  back,  several  of  the 
students  were  sad  to  leave  the 
city  behind.  A  week  of 
walking  through  New  York  left 
many  impressions  on  the  stu- 
dents. The  skyscrapers,  the 
Top  of  the  Sixes  on  Fifth 
Avenue,  the  Brooklyn  Bridge, 
Harlem,  the  parade,  the 
shops,  42nd  Street,  the  UN 
Building,  and  Manhattan 
itself  will  always  be  the  "city 
that  never  sleeps."

Twas  the  night  before  Christmas  at    SC 

by  Gordon  Bletz 

'Twas  the  night  before  Christmas,  when  all  through  the  dorm 

Not  a  student  was  stirring,  they  were  all  trying  to  keep  warm. 

Those  students  were  nestled  all  snug  in  their  beds. 

While  Meyers  was  watching  from  the  roof  over  their  heads. 

A  rumor  he  had  heard  of  a  little  red  man, 

Who  was  going  to  attempt  an  unusual  plan. 

He  quietly  waited  on  the  roof  with  care, 

For  fear  someone  unwanted  would  soon  be  there. 

As  Evans  and  Christman  had  just  relaxed, 

And  Runyan  and  Somers  were  near  collapse, 

There  arose  on  the  campus  an  incredible  clatter, 

Schlisner  sprang  from  his  bed  to  see  what  was  the  matter. 

Immediately  he  saw  something  small  and  red, 

And  in  a  flash  the  fire  alarm  sounded  overhead. 

Away  to  the  windows  faculty  flew  like  a  flash 

Tore  open  their  shutters  and  threw  up  the  sash. 

The  rumor  spread  with  incredible  speed, 

That  the  school  was  on  fire  -  some  dastardly  deed. 

With  pumper  and  tanker  the  Fire  Department  came 

With  every  intention  of  dousing  the  flame. 

Fire  hoses  in  order  were  laid  over  the  ground 

Hither  and  yon  the  lawn  they  "crowned. 

Firemen  carefully  moved  with  nozzles  in  hand 

Stealthily  proceeding  over  the  land. 

Then  with  a  burst  of  water  the  hose  went  off  like  a  shot 

And  the  bushes  were  flooded  where  there  was  that  red  spot. 

And  out  of  the  bushes  a  big  wet  red  man  paused, 

Grundset  dressed  as  Santa  Claus. 

"I  just  wanted  to  surprise  the  students  tonight, 

I  never  knew  security  was  so  tight."

• 


As  one  of  the  religion  report- 
ers for  the  Accent  I  have 
access  to  press  credentials. 
Now  press  credentials  can  get 
you  into  places  that  you  would 
not  normally  get  to  go.  By 
showing  your  card  you  can  get 
in  some  of  the  most  interest- 
ing places,  in  the  light  of  the 
beat  that  I  cover,  I  Thought 
that  it  would  be  good  to  do 
some  investigative  reporting. 
I  decided  it  would  be  good  if  I 
contacted  the  opposition  to' 
discover  what  plans  they  had 
in  mind.  That  explains  my  trip 
to  Hell  (apologies  to  Gives 
St?ples  Lewis).  My  trip  was 
warm  but  uneventful  and  my 
press  credentials  gave  me 
entry  into  a  meeting  that  was 
being  held  concerning  the 
progress  of  their  evangelistic 
work  on  SC  campus. 

As  1  slipped  into  the  back  of 
the  meeting  Screwtape  was 
talking  to  Wormwood: 

Screwtape:  "I  don't  care 
what  you  discovered  about  the 
administrative  policies  of  SC 
in  regard  to  attendance  at 
religious  services,  the  simple 
fact  is  that  attendance  at  a 
religious  service  does  not 
mean  that  there  will  be  any 

fact  it  is  my  contention  and  I 
think  that  I  can  back  this  up, 
that  if  we  can  capture  their 
minds  during  intensive  relig- 
ious instruction  we  have  got 
them  for  good." 
Wormwood:    "Well  I  didn't 


mean  to  make  you  angry;  I  just 
was  reporting  on  what  the 
policies  of  the  school  are  so  we 
coi'ld  better  be  able  to 
counteract  them.  I  agree  with 
you;  If  you  can  get  a  dog  to 
bite  its  master  when  he  is  in  a 
good  home,  just  think  what 
you  will  be  able  to  get  it  to  do 
when  he  is  not  in  a  good  home. 

Screwtape:  "Good  illusta- 
tion,  so  what  are  we  doing  to 
get  these  dogs  to  bite?" 

Wormwood:  "Snakeskin  and 
myself  have  been  working  on  a 
strategy  which  we  would  like 
to  share  with  you." 

Screwtape:  "Ok,  let's  hear 
it!*-' 


Snakeskin: 

nize  that  it 
form  and  w 


'You  will  recog- 
5  in  preliminary 
have  not  as  yet 
tried  it,  but  the  broad  general 
outline  certainly  has  worked  in 
times  past  with  other  similar 
situations." 
Screwtape:  "Get  on  with 
it!"  _  _ 

Wormwood:  "Okay,  we  have 
the  following  main  points  we 
have  prepared  on  this  chart  for 
your  approval: 

1.        Required    religious 


a.  Get  the  students  to  miss 
an  many  of  these  as  possible 
by: 

1)  getting  them  to  think 
of  them  as  boring 

2)  getting  them  interest- 
ed in  other  things 

Screwtape:    "Lakes  of  Fire! 
Wait  just  a  minute!     That  is 


not  a  good  approach!  They 
have  to  attend  a  certain 
number  of  services,  right?" 
Wormwood:  "Yes." 
Screwtape:  "Well,  just 
getting  them  not  to  attend  is 
too  obvious.  No  doubt  if  they 
never  attended  they  would  not 
be  able  to  continue  school 
there.  What  you  need  to  do  is 
to  get  them  not  to  pay  atten- 
tion to  the  ones  they  go  to.  Get 
them  to  become  accustomed  tc 
religious  services,  so  accus- 
tomed to  them  that  they  don't 
hear  what  is  being  said.  Their 
minds  should  be  elsewhere 
while  'The  Word'  (I  hate  to 
say  that!)  is  being  pro- 
nounced. Haven't  you  studied 
in  the  Bible  where  he  says  that 
'  'His  word  will  not  return  unto 
him  void"?  We  must  make 
the  word  appear  so  common 
that  no  attention  is  paid  to  it. 
No  one  is  a  better  long  term 
candidate  for  living  with  us 
than  the  one  who  is  so 
accustomed  to  hearing  reli- 
gious things  that  they  run  like 
water  off  of  a  duck's  back." 
Wormwood:  "Are  you  tak- 
ing notes,  Snakeskin?" 
Snakeskin:  "Yes  sirf' 
Screwtape:  "Do  I  have  to  do 
all  the  thinking  for  Hell?  What 
else  do  you  have  planned?" 
Wormwood:  "Well,  under 
'b'  here  - 

b.  When  attending 
religious  services  have  them 
sit  in  the  back  so  there  will  be 
as  much  distraction  as  possi- 


ble. 

Screwtape:  "That  is  fine! 
Nothing  wrong  with  that." 

Wormwood:  "Well,  to  con- 
tinue, you  see  under  number  2 

2.   School  Rules 
a.  get  them  to  disobey  when 
feasible. 

Screwtape:  "Once  again  you 
are  missing  the  point.  When 
dealing  with  a  religious  insti- 
tution -  people  who  are  ex- 
posed to  religion   all  of  the 


the 


full  of  religion  and  religious 
ideas  that  they  don't  think 
about  them-they  don't  apply 
them-some  call  it  being  Gos- 
pel Hardened. 
Snakeskin:  "But  how  do  you 
get  them  to  be  Gospel 
Hardened?" 

Screwtape:  "I  thought  you 
were  bringing  a  plan  to  me. 
Doesn't  anybody  else  have 
any  brains  around  here?  You 
get  them  to  say  'I've  heard 
that  before'  every  time  they 
hear  a  religious  talk.  Just  get 
them  to  put  their  minds  in 
neutral  when  it  comes  to 
religious  issues.  And  what- 
ever you  do,  don't  let  them 
reflect  on  the  purpose  of  life; 
don't  let  them  think  about  the 
"Big  Picture"— occupy  them 
with  trivia.  For  example, 
when  a  speaker  is  making  a 
good  spiritual  point  for  the 
opposition,  get  them  to  think- 
ing about  the  funny  tie  he  is 
wearing,  the  strange  haircut 


he  has  or  whatever." 
Wormwood:  "Are  you  still 
taking  notes,  Snakeskin?" 
Snakesking:  "Yes  sir!" 
Wormwood:  "Okay,  you 
mean  we  should  get  them  to 
focus  on  peripherial  issues 
and  not  the  central  ones." 
Screwtape:  "That  is  right. 
You  see,  it  is  a  question  of  the 
heart  -  what  motivates  them. 
Perfunctory  external  behavior 
is  never  a  problem  with  us.  I 
mean  who  cares  if  the  whole 
world  goes  to  church  -  as  long 
as  it  is  just  a  cultural,  social 
behavior  and  not  a  heart 
thing.  That  is  how  we  nailed 
the  Pharisees.  Heh,  heh,  boy 
do  I  remember  working  with 
those  suckers  -  never  had  so 
much  fun!  You  should  go  back 
to  the  archives  and  watch 
some  old  movies  of  my  work 
on  them.  That  is  how  I  got 
where  I  am  you  know." 
It  was  at  about  that  time  that 
some  security  conscious  angel 
(I  think  his  name  was  Flytrap) 
came  over  to  me  and  asked  for 
my  credentials.  I  stalled,  but 
it  did  no  good.  When  he  found 
out  I  was  from  SC,  he  threw 
me  out  on  my  ear,  so  to  speak. 
(It  was  kind  of  a  good  feeling 
bfeing  thrown  out  of  Hell.) 
Well,  I  was  there  long  enough 
to  catch  some  of  their  plans 
and  so  I  thought  I  would  report 
them  to  you.

Basketball 


With  first  semester  coming 
to  a  close,  all  SC  sports  fans 
are  eagerly  looking  forward  to 
the  basketball  season  which 
begins  second  semester.  Bas- 
ketball has  traditionally  been 
the  most  popular  sport  here  at 
SC  as  far  as  fan  participation 
is  concerned.  This  is  probably 
due  to  the  fact  that  the 
schedule  is  kept  despite  the 
inclement  weather  and  also 
due  to  the  excellent  talent 
displayed  on  the  court, 
exception.  With  the  absence 
of  dominating  players,  the 
season  looks  as  though  it  will 
be  even  more  competitive  than 
in  past  years.  Coach  Steve 
Jaecks  expressed  much  op- 
timism concerning  the  upcom- 


ing season.  He  intends  to  add 
a  few  dimensions  to  the 
leagues  such  as  a  three-man 
tournament  and  possibly  an 
all-star  game  in  A  and  B 
leagues. 

This  year's  format  will  basic- 
ally be  the  same  as  in  past 
years  with  women's  A  league 
sporting  six  to  ten  teams,  and 
the  men's  play  divided  into 
AA,  A,  and  B  leagues. 
Those  involved  in  basketball 
intramurals  should  be  pre- 
pared to  purchase  their  jersey 
through  the  P.  E.  Department 
at  a  cost  of  $7-8. 
Sign-up  for  basketball  will  be 
on  registration  day,  Tuesday, 
January  3,  at  the  intramural 
table. 


Volleyball       Tennis 


On  Sunday,  December  5,  a 
special  volleyball  tournament 
was  held  in  the  P.  E.  Center. 
The  tourney  consisted  of  1J 
three-man  teams  involved  in  a 
double  elimination  format. 
The  team  of  Rod  Hartle,  Fred 
Roscher,  and  Rhoben 
Dalusong  was  the  eventual 
champion.  They  defeated  the 
team  of  Alex  Lamourt,  Carlos 
Colon,  and  Angel  Amoros  to 
gain  the  first  place  berth.  The 
day-long  tournament  which 
started  at  9  a.m.  and  ended  at 
7  p.m.  was  termed  by_Coach 

Steve  Jaecks  as  a  "definite 
success."  Possibly  this  could 
become  an  annual  affair  as  the 
turnout  and  participation  was 
excellent. 


The  SC  Tennis  Tournament 
has  concluded  with  Earl 
Johnson  as  the  reigning 
champion.  He  ends  his  tennis 
dynasty  in  May  with  expecta- 
tions of  graduation.  This  is  his 
second  year  to  take  the  tourn- 
ament, and  he  admits  that  he 
does  not  play  to  stomp  over 
other  tennis  players,  but  just 

David  Messinger  and  Steven 
Fitzgerald  are  said  to  have 
given  Earl  his  most  enjoyable 
matches,  and  he  thanks  them 
for  their  presence  on  the  other 
side  of  the  net  (good  effort 
fellows!!).  Good  luck  to  David 
Messinger  and  Scott  Vallaires 
in  their  efforts  to  win  SC's 
future  events.

by  Victor  Czerkasij 


Like  the  rest  of  you,  I  just 
received  my  final  semester 
school  bill.  From  it,  I  could 
deduce  one  thing:  the  $48 
salary  1  received  from  the 
Accent  "was  not  going  to  pay. 
Bui  1  though  we  could  work 
our  way  through  school.  May- 
be I  should  strike.  No,  maybe 
not.  Then  we'd  have  to  read 
Loga  every    week. 

I  picked  up  my  statement  and 
look  another  look.  Hmmiri, 
$25  for  Finance  Memories? 
S55  for  Preventive  Infestation? 
51. 50  for  an  Easy  Exam  Pass 
Fund?  What  is  this?  What 
are  these  charges  all  about:  I 
can't  get  my  exam  pass  for 
this?  Since  it  was  early 
morning,  I  thought  I'd  go  pay 
i  he  Finance  Office  a  visit.  I 
pay  (hem  everything  else,  so 


The  line  to  Randy  White's 
office  twisted  and  turned  clear 
out  of  Wright  Hall  and  ended 
by  the  Christmas  tree.  I  took 
my  place  behind  a  guy  who 
was  covered  with  cobwebs. 
"Quite  a  line,"  I  said,  trying 
to  make  conversation.  He 
stood  frozen,  holding  a  state- 
ment dated  1964.    I  shivered. 

Toward  evening,  I  was  near 
his  door.  "Now  serving  973" 
droned  a  voice.  "Here,"  I 
croaked.  Stepping  inside  the 
executive  office,  I  asked  where 
White  was.  ■■Oh,"  said  a 
smartly  dressed  girl  (aren't  all 
the  girls  who  work  there 
smartly  dressed?).  "He  just 
took  off  for  vacation.  He 
always  leaves  the  week  before 
exams.    Could  I  help  you? 

Gratified  that  I  didn't  have  to 
make  a  hard-luck  story  sell  ("I 


was  robbed  at  the  C.K."  My 
Mother  sent  the  wrong 
check."  "Someone  told  me 
this  semester  was  free."),  I 
decided  to  come  straight  to  the 

"Okay,"  I  said,  "Just 
explain  to  me  these  charges." 
She  looked  them  over  and 
said,  "It  all  appears  in  order 
to  me.  Don't  you  know  what 
these  charges  are  all  about? 
They're  in  the  '83  catalog." 

"It's  '82." 

"Oh  well,  we  thought  it  best 
to  get  into  practice."  I 
wondered  how  she'd  look  with 
a  noose.  "Well,  what's  $20 
for    Finance    Memories?"    I 

"Oooh,"  she  squealed,

Shocked,  I  yelled,  "I  can  get 
the  same  effect  if  I  draw  a 
bulls-eye  on  it  and  buy  darts!" 
"Now,  now,  Mr.  Czerkasizj, 
there  will  be  a  time  when 
you'll  thank  us.  What  else  is 
there?" 

Glaring,  I  continued,  "$55

"That  should  be  obvious," 
she  said,  stifling  a  yawn.  "It's 
to  prevent  armadillos  or 
wildebeests  from  infesting  the 
dorm."  "But  we  don't  have 
any!!"  "You  see?"  she  said, 
with  a  bored  wave  of  her  hand. 

Looking  at  her,  I  couldn't 
help  feeling  what  a  good  tome 
of  a  year  it  was  for  a  vacation.

With  my  voice  at  a  slow  boil.  I 
decided  to  give  her  one  more 
chance.  "What  is  the  Easy 
Exam  Pass  Fund?"  Without 
batting  an  eye  from  her  nail 
filing,  she  spoke,  "This  is  a 
new  idea  which  the  faculty 
voted  on  unanimously.  Every 
student  donates  a  $1 .50.  Then 
a  work  group  is  chosen  and 
their  names  go  into  a  hat.  If  a 
name  is  chosen,  they  get  their 
bill  paid  and  a  free  exam  pass 
to  boot.   Nice,  huh?" 

Thinking  of  all  the  football 
pools  in  the  dorm,  I  guess  it 
had  to  come.  "Well."  I  said, 
"What  work  group  gets  to  go 
first  this  year?"  she  snapped 
her  gum.  smiled,  and  said, 
"Finance  Office!"  I  lunged 
for  her  throat."

Souilmrn  College,     fnlli-uedjle.    len 


January  13, 1983 


Enrollment 
drops     3% 


Southern  College  registered 
1,530  students  for  its  spring 
semester  on  Monday,  January  3. 
Thirty-three  of  these  students 
were  enrolled  in  the  program  for 
registered  nurses  in  Chattanooga, 
and  116  students  were  registered 
on  the  Orlando  campus.  An  addi- 
tional 61  students  are  expected  to 
register  for  the  extension  courses 
offered  through  several  Southern 
Union  academies.  It  is  also  ex- 
pected that  there  will  be  50  or 
more  late  registrants. 

The  final  enrollment  figure  for 
this  semester  is  projected  to  be 
1,650.  This  is  only  an  eight  per- 
cent decrease  from  the  fall  semes- 
ter. According  to  Miss  Mary 
Elam,  Director  of  Records, 
"This  is  the  average  drop  from 


the  economy  the  way  it  is, 
doing  very  well  to 
age." 

For  the  second  year,  pre 
registration  was  held  ii 
November  and  was  once  again  ; 
time-saver  for  many  students 
Most  of  those  registering 
pleted  registration  and  left  the 
gymnasium  ten  to  twenty 
after  entering.  Although  th 
meant  extra  preparation  and 
time  on  the  part  of  the  Records 
Department,  Miss  Elam  endorsed 
the  program,  saying,  "This  al- 
lows the  student  more  time  with 
his  advisor,  and  that  is  the  main 
consideration.  It  also  prods  him 
to  give  more  thought  to  his 
schedule  a  little  sooner.1' 

Overall,    students    seemed 
pleased  with  how  smoothly  reg- 


istration went  for  them.  One  stu- 
dent exclaimed,  "Oh,  yes,  I  liked 
it!  It  was  a  lot  shorter.  Ten  min- 
utes in  comparison  to  the  one 
hour  and  ten  minutes  that  it  took 
me  last  semester  is  much  better

to     teaching

at  Southern  College.  Previously  a 
pastor  in  Palm  Springs,  Dr. 
Blanco  is  teaching  Adventisl 
Heritage  and  Teachings  of  Jesus 


this 

Dr.  Blanco  worked  as  a  minis- 
ter for  ten  years  before  entering 
educational  work  for  approxi- 
mately fifteen  years.  He  has  held 
positions  at  the  Review  and 
Herald  and  has  pastored  churches 
lfi  ihe  Columbia  Union,  the 
Southern  Union,  and  the  Pacific 


For  the  past  few  years,  he  has 
wanted  to  get  back  into  teaching, 
but  there  were  no  openings  until 
this  past  year.  Besides  Southern's 
offer,  Dr.  Blanco  had  also  re- 
ceived calls  from  two  other  Ad- 
ventist  colleges. 

When  asked  why  he  chose  SC, 
he  stated,  "I've  been  wanting  to 
gel  back  into  education  so  that  I 
could  teach  ministerial  stu- 
dents." Blanco  used  to  pastor  the 
Johnson  City  church  a  few  years 
ago,  so  he  is  very  comfortable  in 
•he  South.

students  of  the  late  60's  and  early

New     village 
policy     begin  s 


Southern  College  has  re- 
vamped its  chapel  requirements 
for  village  students  for  the  second 
semester.  According  to  Everett 
Schlisner,  Dean  of  Students,  vil- 
lage students  will  be  required  to 
get  four  points  each  week  for  a 
total  of  60  during  the  semester. 

Instead  of  receiving  points 
only  for  chapels,  village  students 
can  now  also  receive  two  points 
for  attending  Wednesday  night 
prayer  meeting  and  vespers. 
"We  are  broadening  the  availa- 
bility of  chapel  options," 
Schlisner  said. 

Under  the  old  plan,  village 
students  were  not  required  to  at- 
tend prayer  meeting  or  vespers. 
And  they  could  be  exempt  from 
chapel  if  they  had  work  conflicts 
or  if  they  didn't  have  any  Tues- 
day or  Thursday  classes.  The  new 
plan  limits  exemptions  and  re- 
quires more  participation  in  Ihe 
programs . 

Some  village  students  are  up- 


set.  "This  new  system  imposes 
the  same  restrictions  on  village 
students  as  dorm  students  without 
the  same  privileges,"  com- 
mented Bob  MacLafferty  during 
a  discussion  meeting  Schlisner 
held  with  village  students. 
"Since  I  work  during  chapels,  if 
I'm  gone  for  the  weekend,  I 
would  be  hopelessly  behind." 

"There  will  always  be  some 
exceptions,"  Schlisner  said. 
"We  don't  want  the  chapel  pro- 
gram to  be  a  burden,  but  we  want 
to  include  village  students  in  ac- 

Nearthe  end  of  the  discussion, 
Schlisner  staled  one  reason  why 
the  chapel  policy  was  being  tight- 
ened instead  of  being  loosened  or 
done  away  with.  "Throughout 
history,  religious  colleges  that 
have  done  away  with  enforced  at- 
tendance at  worships  have  lost 
their  missions.  Southern  College 
doesn't  want  to  go  that  route." 


Lectures      start 


The  I2lh  annual  E.A.  Ander- 
son Lecture  Series  begins  tonight 
at  8:00  p.m.  at  Summerour  Hall. 
The  series  of  10  lectures  features 
top  speakers  discussing  such 


i  of  i 


"Common 
Business  in 
Mid  "Time 


Laws  of  Success, 
the  Real  World 
Management." 

The  series  is  possible  due  to  a 
generous  endowment  from  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  E.  A.  Anderson  of  At- 
lanta, Georgia,  to  the  Division  of 
Business  and  Office  Administra- 
tion. The  lectures  are  open  to  the

January  13,  is  Dr.  Gene  Stana- 
land,  a  professional  speaker  in 
the  field  of  economics.  He  has 
given  presentations  and  lectures

land  served  as  professor  of 
economics  and  finance  at  Aubum 
University  and  as  the  head  of  the 
Department  of  Economics  from

New     Year's 
resolutions 


With  the  New  Year  almost  two  weeks  old,  many  of  us  probably 
have  already  forgotten  those  resolutions  we  made,  if  we  even 
bothered  at  all. 

1  used  to  always  make  New  Year's  resolutions,  but  somehow  my 
enthusiasm  for  turning  over  a  new  leaf  was  gone  after  a  very  short 
time.  I  just  couldn't  seem  to  change.  I  guess  I  always  expected  an 
overnight  type  of  transformation—a  transformation  that  would  make 
me  into  the  perfect  person. 

Of  course  that  never  happened.  And  somewhere  along  the  line,  I 
became  discouraged  enough  to  quit  making  those  silly  resolutions. 
After  all,  why  go  to  all  that  trouble  when  I'd  mess  up  after  a  week  or 
two  anyway? 

Well,  useless  as  the  custom  may  seem,  it  was  begun  for  a  good 
reason.  The  English  used  to  clean  their  chimneys  for  good  luck  in  the 
New  Year.  This  was  later  applied  to  faults  and  bad  habits  by  the 
saying  "cleaning  the  slate."  It  meant  putting  the  past  behind  and 
starting  the  New  Year  fresh  and  clean. 

The  idea  was  good,  but  maybe  it  has  just  gotten  out  of  our  hands. 
Maybe  we  just  expect  too  much  from  ourselves.  Or  maybe  we  don't 
expect  enough.  Changing  a  habit  can  be  very  difficult,  and  giving  up 
loo  soon  can  be  very  easy. 

I  think  perseverance  would  be  a  very  nice  thing  to  have  in  this  new 
year.  "But  Lord,  do  you  think  1  could  have  it  now?"

Dear  Editor, 

Many  of  us  found  that  while 
we  were  in  church  on  January  8, 
the  publication,  Pilgrim's 
Waymarks  had  been  stuck  on  our 

My  first  reaction  was  to  pull  it 
off  of  every  car  I  could,  but  I 
realized  that  ignorance  is  not  bliss 
so  I  just  took  mine  home  and 
studied  it.  Now  I'm  sure  that  the 
editors  and  backers  of  that  paper 
are  concerned  for  the  church,  and 
for  that  I  am  glad,  but  I  question 
their  methods  and  arguments. 

Methods:  (1)  It  seems  to  me 
that  their  mode  of  operation  tends 
to  divide  the  church,  and  al- 
though Christ  did  bring  a  sword 
to  the  earth,  He  did  so  to  separate 
good  and  evil,  not  the  church.  For 
them.  He  prayed  that  they  would 
be  one,  even  as  He  and  the  Father 

(2)  Should  not  questions  about 


the  doctrine  held  by  the  church  be 
studied  openly  rather  than  by  a 
covert  distribution  of  pamphlets? 

(3)  Should  not  the  church  be 
putting  its  principal  efforts  into 
telling  the  fantastic  news  of  the 
salvation  offered  to  us  by  Christ's 
sacrifice  rather  than  spending  our 
money  and  time  bickering  about 
something  which  not  one  of  us 
knows  the  final  answer  to? 

(4)  Are  we  treading  on  Holy 
ground?  The  paper  quotes  from 
the  Spirit  of  Prophecy  on  their 
position,  and  I  would  also  quote 
from  the  same  source:  "avoid 
every  question  in  relation  to  the 
humanity  of  Christ  which  is  liable 
to  be  misunderstood.  Truth  lies 
close  to  the  track  of  presump- 


The 


Christ  has  ever  been  and  will  ever 
remain  a  mystery."  5BC  1128 

Arguments;  First  let  me  state 
that  I  do  not  know  all  or  even 


many  of  the  answers  and  I  invite 
discussion,  but  I  would  like  to 
note  at  least  one  flaw  in  the  paper. 
They  state:  "He  took  moral  de- 
generacies as  well."  In  5BC 
1128,  we  may  read  that:  "Be- 
cause of  sin  his  posterity  was 
born  with  propensities  of  dis- 
obedience ...  but  not  for  one 
moment  was  there  in  Him  an  evil 
propensity." 

I  agree  that  there  should  be  a 
discussion  in  the  church,  espe- 
cially in  a  college  environment, 
but  shouldn't  our  aim  be  to  show 
and  tell  others  the  wonderful  life 
that  comes  from  knowing  out 
Saviour  rather  than  by  bickering 
over  things  which  we  may  never 
understand?  The  Lord  is  coming 
soon.  Let's  be  ready! 

Sincerely, 
Kevin  D.  Shaw 


Dear  Editor, 

I  think  something  needs  to  be 
said  about  the  highway  robbery  at 
the  salad  bar  in  the  cafeteria.  It 
cost  $2.50  for  a  plate  of  salad, 
and  you  can't  even  go  back  for 
more.  IMAGINE  THAT!  $2.50 
for  a  little  lettuce,  tomatoes, 
cucumbers,  croutons  and  dress- 
ing. Only  we  don't  have  to  im- 
agine this  because  that  is  what  we 

Now  if  we  were  able  to  go  back 
tor  more  without  any  extra  cost 
this  might  be  a  reasonable  price' 
But  as  long  as  this  school  is  a 


non-profit  organization,  it  should 
keep  prices  on  food  at  the  level 
the  items  cost. 

Approximate  wholesale  price 
for  one  head  of  lettuce  is  290,  one 
pound  of  tomatoes  is  500, 
cucumbers  cost  400  a  pound  and 
salad  dressing  is  relatively  inex- 
pensive for  the  amount  put  on  a 
salad. 

As  far  as  I  can  figure,  it  would 
take  five  pounds  of  salad  to  jus- 
tify the  $2,50  price.  But  to  be 
fair,  we  must  include  labor  costs. 
How  long  can  it  take  the  salad

Letters    cont'd 

Dear  Editor: 

1  musi  say  that  1  was  not  sur- 
prised to  see  yet  another  attack 
upon  a  member  of  our  Religion 
Department  in  the  person  of  Dr. 
Gulley  and  his  Sabbath  school 
lesson  for  this  quarter. 

By  now  I  am  sure  that  the  Dec. 
]5  issue  of  Pilgrim's  Waymarks 
has  reached  the  hand's  of  a 
number  of  the  students  here  at 
Southern  College.  Personally,  I 
do  not  habitually  read  the 
Wavmarks.  After  all,  it  is  not  an 
official  church  paper  and  there  is 
so  much  good  material  to  read  in 
one's  spare  time  in  our  denomina- 
tionally supported  papers,  sucrj 
as  Ministry,  The  Review,  Insight. 
etc  But  due  to  the  nature  of  this 
issue  of  the  Waymarks,  I  was 
eager  to  see  how  our  heretofore 


unimpeachable  Dr.  Gulley  would 
stand  in  the  sarcastic  eye  of 
Vance  Ferrell.  What  I  read 
spurred  this  letter  to  your  desk. 

Those  who  feed  on  theological 
debate  will  be  left  unsatisfied  by 
this  letter,  for  I  am  not  seeking  to 
contradict  the  theology  of  the 
Waymarks,  for  any  senior  theol- 
ogy major  whose  mind  has  been 
clouded  by  reading  such  "cor- 
rupt" material  as  the  SDA  Bible 
Commentary  and  Questions  On 
Doctrine  would  not  stand  a 
chance  of  arriving  at  truth,  as  de- 
fined by  Waymarks.  But  I  do 
think  two  issues  must  be  raised 
for  the  well-being  of  this  God- 
ordained  institution  of  higher 
education. 

The  first  issue  stems  from  the 
remark  in  the  Waymarks  that 
"truth  is  more  important  than 
friendship."  This  attitude  has 


permeated  certain  papers,  tapes, 
and  lectures,  which  have  called 
into  question  the  integrity  of  the 
Bible  teachers  here  at  Southern 
College.  That  attitude  has  dulled 
the  spirituality  of  this  campus  in 
the  recent  years  and  must  be  put 
away  if  we  are  going  to  fulfill  our 
Lord's  command  to  love  one 
another.  "Truth"  is  very  impor- 
tant but  it  is  important  only  as 
long  as  it  brings  souls  to  The 
Truth  (i.e.  Jesus  Christ).  Even  if 
Dr.  Gulley  would  err  in  a  theolog- 
ical position  (not  a  doctrinal  posi- 
tion but  a  theological  position), 
does  that  mean  he  shall  no  longer 
be  considered  a  friend?  Is  that 
how  Christ  treated  the  woman  at 
the  well  or  Nicodemus?  Dare  I 
say  that  Christ  even  treated  Judas 
with  utmost  kindness.  Without 
friendships,  the  evangelistic 
power  of  the  gospel  is  lost. 


The  second  issue  arises  out  of 
the  way  Waymarks  so  nicely 
points  out  error  from  truth.  If  we 
truly  believe  that  God  called  out 
this  church  in  1844,  then  should 
we  not  submit  ourselves  to  the 
actions  of  the  General  Confer- 
ence Committee  when  it  is  in  ses- 
sion? While  we  are  to  search  the 
Scriptures  and  the  Spirit  of 
Prophecy  for  ourselves,  should 
we  not  submit  our  personal  opin- 
ions to  those  of  the  church  body? 
I  maintain  that  the  fact  that  Dr. 
Gulley's  manuscript  was  submit- 
ted to  the  editorial  scrutiny  of 
both  ihe  Review  and  the  Sabbath 
School  Department  of  the  G.C., 
and  was  printed  by  the  church 
press,  would  at  least  suggest  that 
Dr.  Gulley's  theological  position 
was  upheld  by  the  highest  levels 
of  our  church  leadership!  As  far 
as  f  know,  the  Waymarks  does 


not  submit  itself  to  anybody! 
Now,  personally,  I  don't  believe 
that  we  should  look  to  the  church 
to  replace  personal  Bible  study, 
nor  am  I  saying  that  we  need  to 
have  an  agency  which  decides 
truth  for  us.  I  do  suggest  that  be- 
fore we  make  dogmatic  state- 
ments about  somebody  else's 
theology,  perhaps  we  should 
submit  our  ideas  to  the  total  body 
of  Christ.

January  10.  Joe  Robertson, 
chairman  of  the  Senate  called 
the  meeting  to  order.  Senator 
Candy  Nutt  gave  a  three

the  meeting  with  prayer. 

As  parlimentarian,  Terry

Studying        can      be     easier 


The  Southern  Accent  begins  a 
new  column  this  week.  "Feed- 
back' will  be  a  way  that  students 
can  eel  good  answers  to  questions 
they  may  have  about  a  school  pol- 
icy, social  or  personal  problem. 
So  if  you  have  a  problem  or  ques- 
tion, send  i 
will  get  an  answer. 


"Vacation  was  great  except 
for  one  thing— my  grades.  How 
can  I  improve  my  G.P.A.  this 
semester?" 

The  way  you  feel  about  your- 
self greatly  determines  how  you 
will  achieve  in  school  or  in  life. 
Look  at  yourself.  What  is  impor- 
tant to  you?  What  do  you  want  to 
achieve?  What  are  your  values? 
As  you  think  about  these  ques- 
tions and  the  possible  answers, 
remember  that  when  you  make 
any  meaningful  decisions  about 
your  life,  it  wi\l  contain  a  large 
amount  of  faith,  commitment, 
and  possibly  a  lot  of  bard  study. 
Next,  develop  a  positive  plan 
of  action  and  set  specific  goals. 
When  trying  to  set  goals  that  will 
lead  to  success  in  your  academic 
life,  you  must  take  into  consider- 
ation all  your  needs  and  goals. 
Success  in  your  academic  life  is 
not  just  dependent  on  how  many 
hours  a  day  you  study ,  but  also 
why  do  you  study?  What  purpose 
does  learning  have  for  you? 


Most  students  have  goals. 
However,  often  they  are  more 
like  wishes  than  specific  plans  for 
accomplishment.  If  you  plan 
your  goals  and  list  them  accord- 
ing to  priorities,  decision-making 
will  become  easier.  Goals  can 
save  time  and  build  self- 
confidence. 

Have  you  ever  noticed  that 
some  people  seem  to  have  more 
time  for  fun  things  or  more  time 
for  studying  than  others?  Wrong! 
Everyone  has  the  same  amount  of 
time,  it  is  just  how  you  schedule 
your  time  and  whether  you  stick 
to  the  schedule.  Try  an  experi- 
ment. For  seven  days  keep  track 
of  what  you  do.  Be  honest.  If  you 
do  nothing,  show  it  on  the 
schedule. 

When  you  set  up  a  schedule 
and  stick  to  it,  there  are  many 
advantages:  it  prevents  the  avoid- 
ance of  disliked  subjects;  it  gets 
you  started  studying;  it  eliminates 
the  last  minute  cramming  be- 
cause you  have  already  studied 
the  material;  it  actually  makes 
studying  enjoyable;  it  promotes 
cumulative  review,  that  is.  you 
can  review  the  material  as  you  go 
along;  you  have  time  for  recrea- 
tion; it  helps  your  efficiency;  and 
you  will  find  that  yon  have  more 
"free"  time. 

When  you  make  a  schedule, 
try  to  make  each  hour  block  a 
productive  unit.  If  youhavearec- 


itation  or  discussion  type  class,  spaces  are  free  for  weekly  or 
study  the  new  material  just  before  daily  basis.  This  schedule  made 
class.  That  way  the  material  will 


be  fresh  in  your  mind.  For  a  lec- 
ture type  class,  review  your  lec- 
ture notes  as  soon  after  the  class 
as  possible.  This  will  put  the 
material  in  a  logical  sequence  in

^Duecftong 


Once  upon  a  time  in  Fenton 
Forest  there  was  a  colony  of  bees. 
This  was  a  rather  large  colony 
and  most  of  the  young  bees  had 
grown  up  in  this  one  huge  cone. 
One  day  it  was  decided  to  begin  a 
new  colony  and  so  a  rather  large 
number  of  young  bees  volun- 
teered to  begin  a  new  hive.  They 
had  been  trained  in  the  bee 
schools  of  the  old  hive  and  they 
had  learned  about  all  the 
techniques  of  hive  buildings  at 
the  feet  or  legs  of  their  parents. 
But  ihey  had  never  put  their  learn- 
ing into  practice.  This  new  group 
was  very  enthusiastic  and  they 
organized  their  new  hive  project 
with  enthusiasm.  They  were  sure 
thai  they  could  have  a  better  hive 
then  the  old  hive  that  they  had 
grown  up  in  and  so  they  were 


anxious  to  be  off  and  develop 
their  own  hive.  They  followed 
their  queen  bee  to  a  new  location 
and  began  the  task  of  construct- 


ing ;j 


.   hiv. 


Now  they  had  a  chance  to 
prove  that  their  ideas  about  run- 
ning a  hive  were  better  than  the 
ideas  of  their  parents.  Some  of 
the  bees  had  taken  geometry  at 
the  old  hive  school  and  even  at 
that  time  they  figured  that  they 
knew  more  than  their  teachers. 
They  decided  that  the  old  way  of 
building  cells  for  honey  with  six 
sides  was  old-fashioned  and  they 
decided  that  square  cells  would 
work  just  as  well  and  they  would 
use  less  wax.  So  they  started  to 

It  wasn't  too  long  before  they 
learned  that  the  square  cells 


would  not  hold  the  weight  of  the 
honey  and  as  cells  collapsed  they 
began  to  fight  and  argue  with 
each  other  about  whose  dumb 
idea  it  was  to  build  the  square 

Then  one  bee  who  was  very 
smart  in  geometry  said  he  knew 
how  they  could  build  a  very 
strong  hive  and  in  fact  it  would  be 
stronger  then  their  parent's  hive. 
He  suggested  that  they  build  the 
cells  in  a  triangular  shape.  They 
all  quickly  agreed  and  began  the 
task  of  building  the  hive  with 
honey  cells  in  a  triangular  shape. 
All  went  well  for  a  time  and  the 
hive  was  truly  strong  but  it  wasn't 
too  long  before  the  queen  bee 
found  that  she  couldn't  lay  eggs 
in  the  cells  because  they  were  too 
small  and  if  they  did  get  any  eggs 


into  the  cells  it  was  found  that  the 
new  larva  died  in  the  cells  be- 
cause the  cells  were  too  small  to 
allow  for  the  larva  to  grow. 

They  decided  that  the  answer 
was  simply  to  build  them  larger 
but  when  they  built  them  large 
enough  to  hold  the  newly  de- 
veloping bees  they  found  that  the 
sides  eollapsed. 

Things  were  getting  desperate 
at  the  new  hive.  They  were  rais- 
ing no  new  worker  bees  and  they 
were  storing  no  honey  for  the 
winter.  Months  passed  and  they 
could  come  to  no  satisfactory 
solution  to  their  problem. 

A  few  timid  bees  suggested 
that  they  didn't  have  such  build- 
ing problems  when  they  were  liv- 
ing with  their  parents.  So  they 
suggested  that  they  build  the  cells 


like  their  parents  did.  Well  none 
of  the  bees  could  really  remember 
how  that  was.  They  had  studied 
just  to  pass  bee  school  and  with 
no  experience  they  soon  forgot 
what  they  had  been  taught. 

Soon  the  cold  of  the  winter 
came  and  with  no  honey  and  no 
place  to  store  honey,  the  hive 
quickly  ran  out  of  food.  They 
tried  to  keep  the  queen  alive  but 
with  her  large  appetite  and  the 
short  supply  of  honey  she  soon 
died  and  the  new  beehive  died 

THE  MORAL  OF  THE  STORY 
IS:  To  survive  the  winters  of  life 
better  take  a  good  look  at  the  old 


Ripe     for     the      rumor 


Fredrick  Koenig  is  a  social 
psychologist  a!  Tulane  Universi- 
ty. He  has  written  on  a  wide 
range  of  topics  for  professional 
journals  and  has  served  as  a  con- 
sultant for  major  corporations, 
including  McDonald's  and 
Coca-Cola.  The  following  is  from 
a  conversation  with  an  editor  of 
U.S.  News  &  World  Report. 

Periods  of  anxiety,  tension  and 
sagging  economic  conditions 
often  lead  to  a  proliferation  of 

Although  the  level  of  rumors 
now  is  not  as  high  as  in  wartime, 
many  people  today  are  distressed 
because  of  business  failures,  un- 
employment or  fear  of  un- 
employment. Others  are  alarmed 
at  what  they  see  as  a  decline  in 
morals  and  traditional  values.

Some  people  see  rumors  as  a 
way  of  structuring  or  understand- 
ing reality.  A  man  who  is  un- 
employed and  just  barely  scrap- 
ing by  might  well  be  inclined  to 
or— even  a  false 
big  company's

product being  contaminated.  It 
somehow  makes  him  feel  belter 
to  see  the  corporate  giant  in  trou- 
ble. He  reasons  that  his  best  ef- 
forts get  him  nowhere,  so  Ihe  firm 
must  be  cutting  comers  to  be  suc- 
cessful. By  striking  out  at  a  big 
company  and  clouding  ils  reputa- 
tion, he  works  off  some  of  his 


McDonald's  had  to  fight  rumors 
in  1978,  for  example,  that  it  put 
earthworms  in  hamburgers.  The 
company  found  that  a  contribut- 
ing factor  could  have  been  a 
November,  1977,  Reader's  Di-

story  noted  that  such  farms  altract 
animals  that  love  to  eat  worms 
and  thai  for  such  animals  it  was 
"a  veritable  McDonald's." 

Still  other  companies  have 
been  wrongfully  attacked  by  in- 
dividuals and  some  religious 
groups  who  allege  lhat  the  firms 
have  ties  with  the  Church  of  Sa- 
tan. Just  this  year,  Procier  & 
Gamble  has  had  to  counter  a

even  a  report  that  a  company 
executive  had  appeared  on  a  TV 
talk  show  and  admitted  that  he 
had  contributed  money  to  the 
Church  of  Satan.  No  such  ap- 
pearance ever  look  place,  yet  the

answer  thousands  of  phone  calls 
and  letters  on  the  matter  from

who  is  on  the  edge  of  ihe  group  or 
relatively  low  in  status.  For  a 
brief  instant — when  he  circulates

As  for  the  question  of  who 
starts  rumors,  it's  a  mistake  to 
think  that  there's  a  particular  per- 
son or  even  a  group  of  persons 
who  compose  rumors  and  spread 
them  systematically.  I  know 
there  are  some  corporations  that 
actually  try  to  trace  down  the 
source,  hoping  somehow  to  get 
back  to  some  little  guy  in  a  base- 
ment with  a  typewriter.  But  it  is 
not  that  simple.  Rumors  tend  to 
evolve  and  take  on  new  details  as 
people  talk  to  each  other. 

Still,  rumors  tend  to  be  circu- 
lated by  a  particular  type  of  per- 
son. From  our  research,  we  find 
that  the  rumor  participant — that 
is,  the  one  who  is  eager  to  listen 
to  or  pass  on  a  rumor— is  usually 
somebody  who  wants  to  attract

Only  predictions  in  "AA"  and

be  given  those  leagues,  so  ladies 
and  B-leaguers,  don't  be  too  up- 

The  talk  around  the  gym  since

disagree  with  the  crowd  by  say-

between  Vogel  and  Botimer. 

Ron  Bunch  is  the  only  member 
of  Vogel's  team  that  is  an  experi- 
enced "AA"  player.  This  may 
prove  to  be  a  factor.  Then  again, 
maybe  not.  But  whatever  the 
case,  Vogel  and  Bunch  will  have

may  have  some  trouble  putting 
the  ball  in  the  hoop,  hence,  quite

In  "A"  league,  the  competi- 
tion will  be  just  as  good  as  in 
"AA."  Possibly  one  or  two 
teams  will  be  the  leaders  but  the 
rest  will  be  fairly  even. 

Glenn  Greenlee's  team  and  Al 
Cain's  team  look  very  good.  Both 
have  inside  strength  and  outside 
shooting,  so  look  for  them  to  be  at 
the  top  of  the  league.  Main 
players  for  Greenlee  are  Lowell,

For  Cain,  Pat  Williams  and  Steve

It  was  a  glorious  Sunday 
morning,  the  kind  where  I 
didn't  have  to  get  up.  1 
stretched,  yawned,  peeked  out 
ai  my  clock,  and  rolled  over. 

I  had  at  least  another  hour 
before  I  needed  to  get  up. 
Perhaps  then  I'd  wander  down 
lo  the  CK  for  some  waffles, 
hashbrowns,  and  eggs.  With 
these  thoughts  on  my  mind,  I 
drifted  back  into  never-never

myself  striding  through  'he

I  think  I  went  to  the  VM  and 
bought  some  breakfast  bars. 

My  dream  hazed  over  and 
suddenly  I  was  at  the  CK 
again,  hot  and  tired  after 
watching  my  boyfriend  lose 
the  football  game  for  his  team. 
But  before  I  had  a  chance  to 
place  my  order  of  a  Master-

And  then  I  saw  myself  push- 
ing my  way  into  the  CK  again. 
Suddenly  it  was  hot;  it  was 
crowded.  I  looked  around  me 
and  there  they  were.  Students 
of  SC,  ghostlike,  malnour- 
ished skeletons,  tearing  open 
catsup  packages  and  mixing 
the  contents  with  water. 

I  had  to  get  out  of  there,  I 
was  gripped  with  a  sudden 
claustrophobic  need  to  get  out 
of  that  building  into  the  fresh 
air.  The  "OUT  OF:"  sign 
glared  into  my  eyes.  "NO 
FOOD"  it  read.  I  tried 
pushing  my  way  through  the 
cobwebby  bodies,  but  I 
couldn't  get  through.  I 
pushed;  I  shoved;  I  wasn't 
making  headway.    The  bones 


on  my  body  started  to  shrink.  I 
opened  my  mouth  to  scream 
and  awoke  in  a  cold  sweat. 
It  hadn't  happened.  It  was 
just  a  dream.  Nothing  to 
worry  about.  I  climbed  out  of 
bed    and    prepared    for    my 


An  hour  later,  feeling  fresh 
nd  ready  for  a  beautiful  day, 
y  roomie  and  I  walked  down 
o  the  CK  for  a  brunch. 
But  the  door  was  lock  and  a

Rhoben  Dalusong  and  Jon  Lar- 
rabee  were  elected  to  the  executive 
board  of  the  SC-UTC/IABC.  The 
constitution  for  the  SC  chapter  was 
drawn  up  by  Maureen  Mayden  and 
Beth  Crawford.  


"Ski  in  the  Sun,"  a  Warren 
Miller  film  production,  was  pre- 
sented in  the  Southern  College 
gymnasium  Saturday  night, 
January  8,  as  a  part  of  the  col- 
lege's Entertainment  Series. 

Splendid  photography,  excel- 
lent music,  and  humorous  narra- 
tion combined  to  effectively  cap- 
tivate the  audience  as  it  whisked 
them  away  to  ski  resorts  all  over 
the  world.  Austria,  France, 
Switzerland,  British  Columbia, 
and  New  Zealand  were  some  of 
the  many  countries  portrayed  as 
places  where  "one  is  free,  free  to 
'Ski  in  the  Sun.'  " 

All  aspects  of  skiing  were 
shown — from  the  old  to  the  new, 
the  funny  to  the  sad,  the  fearful  to 
the  exciting.  The  audience  skied 
along  with  a  95-year-old  man  and 
his  57-year-old  son,  as  well  as  a 
few  of  the  1940-50  Olympic 
champions. 


The  Junior  Winter  Olympics 
were  filmed  where  young  skiers, 
age  15-18,  displayed  their 
abilities  in  hopes  of '  'one  day  be- 
coming a  part  of  the  U.S.  Olym- 
pic team." 

Another  type  of  world  cham- 
pion, according  to  Mr.  Miller, 
was  the  ski  lift  attendant,  who 
must  be  responsible  for  keeping 
"steel  from  hitting  flesh"  as 
skiers  bound  for  the  slopes  fall  off 
the  lift. 

The  hurt  and  disappointment 
of  losing  in  a  race  or  not  breaking 
a  record  was  captured.  One  short 
section  of  the  film  emphasized 
the  importance  and  danger  of  the 
avalanche  patrols,  while  another 
showed  skiers  racing  down 
slopes  at  120  miles  per  hour. 

The  overall  feel  of  the  film, 
however,  was  the  excitement  and 
beauty  of  skiing.  Everyone  can 
do  it  and  enjoy  it.

When  you  are  really  serious 
about  studying,  always  study 
with  a  pencil  in  your  hand.  If  you 
are  studying  a  textbook  chapter, 
after  reading  several  paragraphs 
briefly  write  the  key  points.  If  no 
words  come  to  you,  then  you 
must  reread  the  paragraphs  with 
determination  and  concentration 
to  find  the  key  points.  This  activ- 
ity promotes  concentration. 

In  the  Teaching  Learning 
Center,  we  will  be  having  Mini 
Sessions  during  the  semester. 
The  first  one  deals  with  schedul- 
ng  your  time.  We  also  have 
utors  available  and  on  call.  If  we 
ran  assist  you  in  any  way,  please 
feel  free  to  drop  in  and  see  us  or 
ione  us  at  396-4013.

Volume  38,  Number  13 


Southern  College,  Colleeedale,  Tennessee 


January  20,  1983 


Expanding   nursing   program  to  begin 


Southern  College  will  be 
expanding  its  nursing  pro- 
gram starting  in  August. 
Plans  have  been  announced  to 
offer  a  two  year  RN  program 

I  at    the    Orlando    campus    in 
injunction  with  Florida  Hos- 

I  pital. 

j    Southern    College    received 
approval      from      Tennessee 

|  Board  of  Nursing  on  January 
to  go  ahead  with  the 
program.  Response  from  the 
Florida  Board  of  Nursing  has 
also  been  favorable.  Ellen 
Gilbert,  chairman  of  the  Divi- 
sion of  Nursing,  expects  the 
Florida  Board  to  grant  full 
approval  in  the  early  part  of 
February. 

The  new  program  will  start 
accepting  applications  in 
March  for  (he  40  openings  in 
the  fall  class  of  1983.  Students 
will  spend  both  years  at 
Orlando  and  receive  general 
education  instruction  in  addi- 


tion to  nursing  classes. 

The  extension  program  was 
planned  at  the  request  of 
Florida  Hospital.  "The  per- 
centage of  nurses  at  Florida 
Hospital  is  very  low,"  stated 
Dr.  Frank  Knittel,  president  of 
SC.  "This  program  will  help 
increase  the  percentage  of 
Adventist  nurses  at  Florida 
Hospital  and  the  number  of 
nurses  with  a  Christian  philo- 
sophy." Presently,  only  10-15 
percent  of  Flordia  Hospital's 
nurses  are  Seventh-day 
Adventist. 
Mrs.  Gilbert  sees  some  posi- 
tive aspects  to  the  program. 
"Things  have  fallen  into  place 
beautifully.  The  change  will 
make  the  Orlando  campus 
more  like  a  college  campus. 
We  have  an  excellent  nursing 
program.  We  can  take  what 
we  have  developed  here  and 
put  it  to  use  there." 


Peachtree 

by  Page  Weeraes 


hosts       banquet 


The  Student  Association 
announces  its  up-coming 
Sweetheart  Banquet  on  Febru- 
ary 13  &  14.  The  location  for 
this  event  is  the  Westin 
Peachtree  Plaza  in  Atlanta. 

Standing  73  stories  tall,  the 
Peachtree  holds  the  record  for 
being  the  world's  tallest  hotel, 
and  is  the  ultimate  in  con- 
temporary luxury.  The  hotel 
features  a  lobby  with  an 
eight-story  atrium,  a  half-acre 
lake,  and  the  world's  largest 
tapestry.  From  the  lobby,  a 
short  ride  in  the  glass  elevator 
will  take  visitors  to  the  rotat- 
ing Sundial  Restaurant,  where 
dinner  will  be  served. 

This  iinner  will  consist  of 
four  full  courses,  with  each 
table  recieving  individual 
service.  There  will  be  four 
different  seatings  at  half  hour 
intervals,  starting  at  5:30, 
with  the  6:00  seating  offering 
a  sunset  view. 

One  unique  factor  is  that 
flowers  will  be  unacceptable  at 
this  banquet.  This  will  be  to 
offset  the  total  expense  of  the 
program. 
Tickets  will  go  on  sale  Sun- 
day, Jan.  23,  at  the  Student 
Center  desk  and  will  cost 
$28.00  per  couple.      Gentle- 


men will  be  responsible  for 
invitations  and  will  be  able  to 
charge  this  on  their 
statements. 

Transportation  will  be 
provided  at  an  additional 
$8.75,  which  must  be  paid  in 
cash.  For  those  using  their 
own  transportation,  it  would 
be  ad\isib!e:to  park  across  the 
street  from  the  Peachtree. 

Arrangements  for  pictures 
have  been  made  with  a  photo- 


grapher in  Atlanta,  who  win 
provide  two  5x7's  and  eight 
wallet  size  pictures  for  $7.25. 
In  the  Student  Association 
Senate,  it  was  voted  unani- 
mously that  the  ladies  be 
responsible  for  the  purchase 
of  any  pictures.  The  pictures 
may  be  paid  for  in  advance  at 
the  Student  Center  desk,  or  at 
the  banquet  itself.  Faculty 
and  staff,  as  well  as  students 
are  all  invited. 


Student    wage 
increased 


by  Dick  Birc 

The  Office  of  Student  Em- 
ployment has  announced  a 
wage  increase  for  those  stu- 
dents employed  by  the  col- 
lege. 

According  to  Robert  Peeke, 
director  of  student  employ- 
ment, the  college  has  adopted 
a  job  classification  system 
which  is  similar  to  that  of 
Princeton  University. 

Under  the  new  program  each 
department  will  determine  the 
starting age.of  the  employee, 
in  reference  to  the  classifica- 
tion of  the  job.  The  wage 
increase  is  in  proportion  to  the 
skUt  ana  difficulty  ofthe  job, 
the  worker's  seniority,  and  the 
total  number  of  hours  worked. 
For  instance,  a  secretary  will 
earn  a  beginning  wage  of 
$3.20,  compared  to  $2.85  from 


the  former  program.  A  secre- 
tary with  two  to  three  years 
experience  could  earn  as  much 
as  $4.10  under  the  new  pro- 
gram. 

With  the  employer's  ap- 
proval, workers,  under  most 
classifications,  may  receive 
pay  raises  for  every  300  hours 
worked.  The  exception  will  be 
for  those  who  have  jobs  which 
allow  them  to  study  while  they 
work.  Workers  under  this 
classification  will  earn  the 
scale  wage  of  $3.00. 

The  college  believes  that  the 
new  program  will  provide 
added  benefits  to  both  the 
employer  and  the  employee.  It 
will  encourage  workers  to  stay 
with  the  same  job  to  gain 
seniority,  and  will  reward 
them  for  a  job  well  done. 


2/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/ January  20,  1983 


~)  Election      insights 


It  is  hard  to  believe  that  another  election  is  almost  upon  us. 
Prospective  candidates  are  testing  the  political  waters  and 
considering  campaign  promises  and  slogans.  And,  within 
ten  days,  the  campus  will  be  covered  with  flashy  posters  and 
smiling  people,  each  urging  the  students  to  vote  for  that 
perfect  candidate  for  the  office.  For  those  of  you  who  are 
considering  throwing  your  hat  in  the  political  ring  or  if  you 
just  want  to  know  what  your  Student  Association  officers  do, 
read  on. 

President— The  whole  weight  of  student  government  falls 
on  your  shoulders.  First  of  all,  the  Student  Association 
President  needs  to  co-operate  with  the  faculty.  But  at  the 
same  time,  he  needs  to  stand  up  for  student  rights.  This  is  a 
job  for  which  few  people  qualify. 

Vice-President — Persons  aspiring  for  this  job  need  to  be 
able  to  work  closely  with  the  president.  This  year,  the 
vice-president  has  had  the  added  responsibility  of  the 
Senate.  Making  this  organization  viable  is  a  job  in  itself. 

Social  Activities— A  creative  mind  is  a  must  for  this  job. 
The  Social  Activities  director  needs  to  plan  all  social 
functions  then  make  sure  they  go  smoothly. 

Student  Service— For  starters,  the  person  elected  to  this 
office  needs  to  know  how  to  get  to  Dunkin'  Donuts  to  pick  up 
munchkins.  But  this  is  only  the  beginning.  A  good  Student 
Services  officer  will  make  this  office  much  more  than  cookie 
breaks. 

Southern  Memories— The  editorof  the  annual  needs  a 
knowledge  of  layout  and  design.  The  ability  to  organize  is 
vital. 

Southern  Accent— The  editor  of  the  school  paper  faces  long 
hours,  weekly  deadlines  and  the  task  of  keeping  the  students 

attention  beyond  Southern  Cynic  and  the  Classifieds.  But  the 
job  definitely  is  interesting.    As  one  former  editor  put  it, 

"The  editor  has  the  privilege  of  having  praise  whispered  into 
one  ear  while  obscenities  are  being  whispered  in  the  other." 


Joker—  The  Joker  editor's  job  consists  of  working  like  crazy 
for  several  weeksv  then  taking  it  easy.  The  ability  to  go 
without  sleep  for  several  weeks  is  a  definite  plus  if  you  want 
this  job. 

If  any  of  these  exciting  job  descriptions  turn  you  on,  give  it 
some  thought,  then  go  for  it.  Even  if  you  lose,  you  will  get 
your  picture  in  the  Southern  Accent.  That  makes  it  worth  all 
the  pain!

Dear  Editor, 
It  has  been  said  that  the 
Student  Association  isn't  do- 
ing the  job  they  should  be 
doing.  What  exactly  should 
they  be  doing?  Do  you  know? 
Let's  have  a  look  into  the  SA 
Constitution.  In  Article  I  of 
the  constitution  we  find  four 
statements  which  establish 
the  purpose  of  the  SA: 

1)  To  promote  Christian 
fellowship  and  unity  between 
the  students,  faculty  and 
staff  of  Southern  College 
within  the  framework  of  the 
principles  of  God's  Word 
thus  producing  a  community 
that  graphically  demon- 
strates the  character  of  the 
infinite  personal  God  through 

We  can  see  this  being  done 
in  the  respect  that  much  time 
goes  into  planning  popular 
activities  which  are  aimed  at 
keeping  our  young  people 
together.  Such  activities 
include  skiing,  movies,  skat- 
ing, and  many  more  that  keep 
us   within   our   own   environ- 

2)  To  bring  together,  under 


central  leadership  and  direc- 
tion, various  co-curricular 
and  extra-curricular  student 
activities  that  contribute  to  a 
healthy,  growing  Christian 
college  community. 

College  Within  a  College  is  a 
major  program  designed  and 
promoted  by  the  SA.  This 
program  gives  the  college  and 
its  community  a  chance  to 
reach  out  and  take  that  which 
isn't  available  in  the  normal 
daily  school  or  work  schedule. 

3)  To  use  the  physical, 
financial,  and  social  potential 
of  such  a  community  to 
develop  an  individual  and 
collective  Christ-like  ministry 
to  others. 

The  SA  has  a  budget  which 
must  be  maintained  therefore 
limiting  the  extravagance  of 
certain  activities.  Working 
within  the  budget  requires 
initiative  and  originality  so 
that  there  is  not  a  photocopied 
plan  of  activities  from  the  past 
year  or  years.  The  SA  is 
continually  thinking  up  new 
activities,  fund  raisers  and 
many  various  programs  which 


aid  m  our  Christian  develop, 
ment!  One  such  example 
would  be  the  "Porter  Serv- 
ice  .  This  was  a  service 
rendered  to  the  young  ladies 
as  they  moved  into  their 
dormitory. 

4)  To  represent  the  collective 
views  and  attitudes  of  the 
Southern  College  to  (he  ■ 
faculty  and  administration  of 
Southern  College. 

Polls  are  taken  on  various 
happenings  that  may  arise 
during  the  course  of  the  year.

Mac  Frampton,  well-known 
classical/pop  pianist  and  ar- 
ranger, will  perform  Saturday 
evening,  January  22,  at  South- 
ern College  in  Collegedale. 
Accompanied  by  Tom  Cahall 
on  bass  and  Art  Montgomery 
on  percussion,  Frampton  pro- 
jects an  artistry  of  sound  that 
has  been  widely  acclaimed  by 

Saturday  evening's  concert 
should  appeal  to  a  variety  of 
musical  tastes,  as  Frampton's 
repertoire  ranges  from  clas- 
sical to  jazz.  He  presents 
music  which  he  describes  as 
"rock  alternative"  in  style. 
When  asked  to  describe  and 
define  this  style,  Mac  said, 
"It's  easier  to  say  what  it  is 
not.  It's  not  rock,  it's  not  jazz, 
and  it's  not  classical,  yet  it  has 
influences  of  all  three.  It  has 
classical  discipline,  with  the 
freedom  of  porj." 
Described  by   reviewers    as 


"one  of  the  most  exciting  and 
talented  young  pianists  on  the 
American  stage  today,"  Mac 
Frampton  is  an  international 
concert  artist  who  has  ap- 
peared frequently  on  tele- 
vision and  has  played  more 
than  a  thousand  concerts  with 
his  trio.  In  addition,  he  has 
written  the  score  for  two 
original  musicals  and  the  ar- 
rangements for  three  others. 
He  has  appeared  with  several 
major  orchestras  as  a  guest 
conductor  and  guest  soloist. 
Six  successful  record  albums 
are  credited  to  him. 

Mac  Frampton  came  to  na- 
tional prominence  when  he 
won  the  bronze  medal  in  the 
1969  Van  Cliburn  Interna- 
tional Piano  Competition.  He 
holds  the  master's  and  doc-

■•YOU  KILLED  MY  SON." 

"Mister— I  didn't  mean  to. 
I  mean,  I  thought  he  was  a 
bluebelly  and — " 

A  gunshot.  The  startled 
soldier  is  thrown  backwards  as 
the  bullet  tears  through  his 
flesh.  He  manages  only  to 
gasp  once— a  hoarse,  ago- 
nized cry — before  he  falls  in  a 
lifeless  heap  on  the  ground. 

With  an  incredibly  powerful 
blend  of  emotionally  gripping 
scenes  like  this,  extensive 
choreography,  light  music  and 
a  continuing  thread  of  humor, 
"Shenandoah"  promises  to  be 
truly  outstanding  production. 


the  early  1860's, 
'Shenandoah"  is  the  story  of 
a  lone  farmer's  attempt  to 
keep  himself  and  his  family 
out  of  the  Civil  War.  Accord- 
ing to  the  farmer,  Charlie 
Anderson,  he  is  neutral,  on  no 
man's  side.  But  the  state,  his 
neighbors  and  even  his  own 
sons  feel  that  his  attitude 
displays  a  lack  of  patriotism  to 
his  country.  And  soon,  quite 
against  his  will,  he  finds 
himself  fighting,  defending, 
killing,  all  the  things  he  hates 
most  about  the  war.  His 
thinking — and  yours — will  be 
dramatically  changed  as  the 
play  unfolds. 
Randy    Aldridge,    a    senior 


health  science  major,  plays 
the  lead  role  of  Father  Ander- 
son. Not  only  does  he  appear 
in  most  of  the  scenes,  he  also 
has  several  vocal  solos  to 
perofrm.  Randy  has  perform- 
ed in  musicals  before,  the 
most  current  one  being  the 
music  department  production 
of  "The  Stingiest  Man  in 
Town"  last  fall. 
Except  for  the  two  female 
parts,  played  by  Laurie  Lee 
and  Kathy  Potts,  the  play  is 
done  with  an  all-male  cast. 
Southern  Bel  Canto  will 
appear  in  two  scenes,  accom- 
panied by  an  18-member 
orchestra  which  performs  all 
of     the      musical      numbers 


throughout  the  play. 

The  play  will  be  performed 
under  the  direction  of  Laurie 
Loga,  with  Larry  Otto  direct- 
ing the  music.  Although 
Laurie  has  performed  in 
several  other  plays,  this  one 
will  be  her  first  in  the  role  of 
director. 

With  only  a  week  before 
performance,  the  25-member 
cast  has  been  practicing 
almost  every  night.  Occasion- 
ally tempers  get  a  little  short 
and  more  than  once  the  actors 
have  been  tempted  to  quit 
when  a  scene  isn't  going  like  it

The  Honorable  Ralph  Kelley, 
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Judge  for  the 
Eastern  District  of  Tennessee, 
addressed  a  group  of  students 
and  faculty  in  Summerour  Hall 
Monday  evening,  January  17. 
At  the  invitation  of  Business 
Law  Professor  Steve  Spears, 
Judge  Kelley,  former  major  of 
Chattanooga,  spoke  on  current 
bankruptcy  law. 

Over  2800  bankruptcy  cases 
were  filed  in  Chattanooga  and 
its  surrounding  19  counties  in 
1982,  with  more  than  2147  of 
those  being  filed  under 
Chapter  11  or  Chapter  13  of 


the  Bankruptcy  Act  of  1978. 
When  filing  under  Chapter  II 
or  13,  a  debtor  is  proming  to 
pay  a  portion  of  his  debts  to  all 
creditors.  "This  court  (bank- 
ruptcy) does  roore  than  let 
people  go  bankrupt  and  not 
pay  their  bills,"  stated  Judge 
Kelley.  As  evidence  to  his 
statement,  over  $6.5  million 
was  paid  in  1982  to  creditors 
by  debtors  filed  under  Chapter 
13. 

In  addition  to  clarifying  the 
different  types  of  bankruptcy, 
Judge  Kelley  explained  the 
importance    of   a    bill    under 


Article  3  of  the  U.S.  Constitu- 
tionthat  is  currently  pending 
passage  by  Congress.  "Arti- 
cle 3  says  that  judges  who 
exercise  the  judicial  power  of 
the  U.S.  shall  enjoy  their 
office  during  good  behaviour 
and  shall  not  have  their  sal- 
aries diminished."  Presently, 
bankruptcy  judges  do  not 
come  under  Article  3,  and 
therefore,  do  not  have  the 
authority  necessary  to  make 
independent  decisions.  "Un- 
less Congress  says,  'You're 
under  Article3,'  everyone  will 
question    our    decisions    and

^Dallas    Holm    performs   in    concert 


by  Dick  Bird 

"The  best  thing  this  world 
can  offer  you  is  a  lie,  and  then 
death,"  warned  Christian 
music  artist  Dallas  Holm 
between  songs  of  his  concert 
held  last  Friday  night  in  Lee 
College's  Conn  Center. 

Moments  before,  a  sell-out 
crowd,  comprised  mainly  of 
high  school  and  college  stu- 
dents cheered  as  Holm  per- 
formed many  of  his  hits.  Now 
they  listened  intently  as  he 
told  of  his  conversion 
experience. 

'  'There  is  a  difference 
between  knowing  and  believ- 
ing," Holm  said  referring  to 
those  individuals  who  claim  to 
be  Christians,  yet  do  not  have 
a  personal  relationship  with 
the  Lord.  "I  was  from  a 
Christian  home,  yet,  Christ- 
ians made  me  nervous,"  said 
Holm.  "They  were  always 
trying  to  get  me  saved." 
Little  did  he  know  that  God 
would  soon  call  him  to  service. 

Then       it       happened — on 


October  17, 1965,  Dallas  Holm 
became   a   disciple   of  Jesus

nervous  feeling 

Christians,  for  now  he  was  a 

child  of  the  King.   "It  was  the 

best  thing  I  ever  did,"  said  the 

talented  musician. 

In  the  months  following  his 
conversion,  Dallas  Holm 
organized  a  musical  group 
that  sang  in  jails,  rest  homes, 
and  small  churches.  Accord- 
ing to  Holm  "It  was  some- 
thing I  could  do,  and  it  is  what 
I  did  best.  I  needed  to  do  it  for 
the  Lord." 

Holm  feels  that  there  is  a 
great  deal  of  truth  to  the  Bible 
principle  that  if  God  can  trust 
man  with  little  things,  He  can 
trust  him  with  big  things.  The 
success  he  has  experienced 
didn't  happen  overnight.  It 
took  a  great  deal  of  Bible 
study,  prayer,  and  waiting 
upon  the  Lord. 

Holm     believes     that     the 


Christian  cannot  continue  to 
grow  spiritually  without  daily 
prayer  and  Bible  study.  "We 
communicate  with  God  in  our 
prayers,"  stated  Holm,  "but 
itis  throught  the  Bible  that  we 
can  hear  God  speaking  to  us." 

During  an  interview  with  the 
Southern  Accent  later  that 
evening,  Holm  was  asked  if 
his  group  was  criticized  for  the 
style  of  music  they  perform. 
Surprisingly,  they  have 
encountered  little  opposition 
because  they  are  concerned 
with  ministering,  rather  than 
entertaining.  "We're  kind  of 
in  an  awkward  position, ' ' 
stated  Holm,  "I'd  say  we're 
on  the  Contemporary  side  of- 
middle-of-the  road.  Com- 
pared to  some  of  the  contem- 
porary hard  groups,  we're 
pretty  watered  down.  To 
some  of  the  people  who  are 
more  interested  in  traditional 
styles,  they  think  we're  rock- 
and-roll." 

Having     received      national 


recognition  for  the  release  of 
his  powerful  song  "Rise 
Again",  Holm  has  received  no 
fewer  than  five  Dove  Awards. 
His  credits  include  Dove 
Awards  for  "Best  Male 
Vocalist,"  "Album  of  the 
Year,"  "Best  Mixed  Group  of 
the  Year,"  "Song  of  the 
Year, ' '  and  '  'Songwriter  of  the 
Year." 

Holm  and  his  group 
"Praise"  are  presently  work- 
ing on  their  newest  record, 
which  they  plan  to  release  this 
spring. 

An  accomplished  composer. 
Holm  spoke  of  his  experience 
writing  the  title  song  of  the 
album  "I  Saw  the  Lord."'"- 
Having  devoted  many  weeks 
to  eternal  things,  the  words 
came  to  mind  as  he  and  his 
wife  Linda  drove  to  Dallas. 
"Though  it  wasn't  a  vision  as 
such,"  said  Holm,  "I  had  a 
mental    image    just     in    the 


thought  processes  of  what  ihe 
moment  {Christ's  coming) 
would  be  like."  I,  was  * 
similar  to  the  experience  he 
had  while  writing  '-rjsc 
Again  "  On  few  occasions 
had  he  encountered  such  a 
revelaiion. 

Holm  has  recently  completed 
a  song  which  tells  of  some  of 
the  drawbacks  of  being  a 
travelling  music-minisier. 
Road  life  is,  at  times,  difficult 
for  Dallas  Holm  and  Praise, 
yet  their  feelings  could  besi  be 
expressed  in  his  new  song 
"Hittin'  the  Road"; 


But  you  (Christ)  left  heaven 
for  me.  Hit  the  roads  and 
shores  of  Galilee.  Gave 
yourself  at  Calvary.  So  I  gotta 
go  and  tell'em  what  you've 
done  for  me.

:  the  s 


Compared  to  populations  in 
other  southeastern  states,  Flori- 
da's Bald  Eagle  {Haliaeetus 
leucocephalus),  is  doing  well. 
While  fewer  than  20  active  nests 
occur  throughout  the  rest  of  the 
southeast,  well  over  200 breeding 
pairs  successfully  nest  in  Florida 
each  year.  In  198 1 ,  359  pairs  es- 
tablished nesting  territories,  with 
234  of  those  nesting  and  produc- 
ing 368  young.  Considering  the 
known  number  of  breeders  and 
the  probable  number  of  subadults 
(eagles  do  not  mature  until  4 


years  of  age),  Florida's  total 
eagle  population  probably  ex- 
ceeds 1,500  birds. 

The  Florida  Game  and  Fresh 
Water  Fish  Commission  has  been 
conducting  annual  aerial  surveys 
of  the  state's  eagle  breeding 
population  since  1973,  and  re- 
sults of  those  surveys  to  date,  al- 
though still  inconclusive,  at  least 
indicate  the  population  is  either 
fairly  stable  or  declining  slowly 
in  number.  Threats  to  bald  eagles 
in  Florida  include  land  develop- 
ment projects  which  encroach  on 


year  after  year,  or  they  may  have 
two  nests  for  use  in  alternate 
years.  Each  year  they  add  on  to 
the  existing  one.  A  new  nest  will 
measure  about  five  feet  outside 
diameter  by  two  feet  in  height. 
One  nest  I  observed  in  Charlotte 
County,  Florida,  was  about  eight 
feet  wide  at  the  widest  point  and 
almost  1 1  feet  high,  the  product 
of  many  nesting  seasons. 

In  Florida  egg  laying  begins  in 
December  and  January,  while  up 
here  in  Tennessee  a  little  later  in 
March  and  April.  The  eggs 
number  on  the  average  two, 
rarely  are  three  produced.  These 
are  laid  at  intervals  from  three  to 
four  days.  The  eggs  are  usually 
small  for  such  a  large  bird.  The 
egg  is  rough  or  coarsely  granu- 
lated. They  are  dull  white  and 
unmarked.  Incubation  is  by  both 
adults,  taking  about  35  days.

The  noise  of  the  bus  was 
aboui  all  I  heard  as  [he  engine 
roared  and  the  driver  went 
through  (lie  gears  accelerating 
down  (he  road  toward  Port  of 
Spain.  Trinidad.  I  was  visiting 
my  wife's  parents  in  Trinidad 
and  we  were  going  on  an 
excursion  into  Port  of  Spain  on 
the  bus.  Given  the  heavy 
iraffic  and  the  fact  thai  the  bus 
iraveled  on  a  special  road,  the 
Trip  to  the  capital  city  would 
lake  only  about  15-20  minutes. 
I  looked  around  at  the  passen- 
gers, seeking  to  take  in  all  the 
different  sights  and  sounds 
thai  confront  one  in  a  country 
one  has  never  visiied  before. 

Everyone  was  quiet-only  the 
sound  of  ihe  engine  could  be 
heard  as  everyone  looked 
siraighi  ahead-lost  in  their 
own  world  of  thought .  No 
doubi  most  were  thinking 
aboui  whai  errands  they  had 
to  do  in  the  city.  It  was  rather 
like  the  experience  of  riding 
an  elevator.  Everyone  is  quiet . 
looking  at  the  closed  elevator 


door  or  the  floor  numbers  as 
they  flash  by,  and  you  feel  a 
bit  embarrassed  talking  to 
anyone. 

1  gave  my  seat  to  a  woman 
who  entered  the  bus  and  from 
my  standing  position  I  could 
see  more  clearly  the  sights  out 
of  the  window  as  we  sped 
ihrough  the  countryside.  Sud- 
denly the  silence  of  my  reverie 
was  broken.  "Greetings, 
friends ! "  a  woman  seated 
directly  behind  my  wife  spoke 
in  clear  ringing  tones.  "I  am* 
glad  to  be  able  to  talk  to  all  of 
you  today."  What  is  going  on? 
Doesn't  this  woman  feel  any 
embarrassment  at  invading 
the  private  sound  space  of 
everyone  on  the  bus?  "Today  I 
want  to  tell  you  about  how 
Jesus  Christ  died  for  you. 
HallelujahJ ' '  she  continued 
with  measured  voice. 

I  looked  around  to  observe 
the  reaction  of  other  passen- 
gers. Most  portrayed  no  re- 
action whatsoever  and  ap- 
peared totally  oblivious  to  this 


impromptu  sermon.  There 
was  one  young  man  just  one 
step  from  me  who  did  seem  to 
squirm  a  bit  as  she  continued. 
"The  Bible  is  the  book  all 
need  to  read.  It  tells  us  to 
repent  from  evil  ways  and  to 
turn  from  sinful  lives."  She 
rarely  paused  for  a  moment. 
It  was  as  if  she  were  reading  a 
script  though  there  was  none. 
Without  hesitation  she  con- 
tinued to  quote  scripture  and 
appeal  for  changed  hearts  as 
the  bus  rolled  to  Port  of  Spain. 
I  found  nothing  in-  what  she 
said  I  coi 

Is  this 

country?  I  thought  as  I  con- 
tinued to  observe  the  lack  of 
audience  response  to  her 
remonstrances.  The  bus  rolled 
to  a  stop  to  pick  up  some  more 
passengers  as  the  voice  of  this 
woman  continued  to  roll 
through  the  bus. 

A  woman  got  on  the  bus  who 
was  not  prepared  to  listen  to  a 
sermon  and  so  as  the  call  for 
repentance  from  drunkenness 


was  heard,  she  made  a  humor- 
ous remark  to  the  stranger 
(hat  she  had  just  taken  a  seat 
by.  Laughter  rippled  from  the 
front  of  the  bus.  Other  disap- 
proving remarks  followed  and 
more  laughter  came  from  the 
front  of  the  bus  as  other 
passengers  joined  in.  It  was  as 
if  some  of  the  tension  was 
broken  and  other  passengers 
now  felt  free  to  speak  up.  The 
young  man  close  to  me  who 
had  seemed  a  bit  tense  and 
nervous  as  the  words  of  the 
sermon  reached  his  ears  be- 
gan to  relax  and  join  in  the 
pejorative  remarks  and  jokes 
that  were  being  made  about 
the  lady  and  her  sermon. 
Not  oblivious  to  the  remarks 
being  made  about  her  the 
content  of  the  sermon  shifted 
to  focus  on  "sinners  who 
would  make  fun  of  the  Gospel 
and  people  who  were  full  of 
sin."  The  level  of  laughter  and 
ridicule  increased  as  we  pulled 
into  the  destination  bus  stop  in 
Port  of  Spain.  The  lady  who 


had  entered  the  bus  to  be 
greeted  by  the  impromptu 
sermon  and  the  sermonizer 
got  into  a  bit  of  argument  as 
ihey  exited  the  bus.  The  one 
feeling  that  she  was  being 
unjustly  accused  of  being  full 
of  sin  by  the  other. 
And  so  we  made  our  way 
ihrough  the  streets  of  Port  of 
Spain  and  I  wondered  about 
communicating    the    Gospel, 

Today  I  think  of  Jesus'  last 
words  to  his  disciples  "you 
will  be  my  witnesses" 
1:8),  and  I  hear  the  v< 
the  angel  speaking  1 
"Go,  stand  in  the  temple 
courts,  and  tell  the  people  the 
full  message  of  this  new  life. ' ' 
(Ads  5:20)And  I  hear  the  Lord 
lell  Paul  (Acts  18:9),  "Do  not 
be  afraid;  keep  on  speaking, 
do  not  be  silent.  For  I  am  with 
you." 

And  I  wonder.

Basketball 
heats       up 


With  basketball  season  just 
over  a  week  old  SC  has  already 
seen  some  excellent  competi- 
tion in  all  leagues. 
InAA  every  team  has  at  least 
one  loss  which  is  very  unusual 
for  so  early  in  the  season.  Top 
rated  Vogel  fell  last  Wednes- 
day to  Obrian's  team,  Obrian 
leading  the  way  with  a  near 
flawless  43  point  perfo 
After  the  relatively  e 
tory  over  Vogel 
that  Obrian  had  the  team  to 
beat.  But  he  lost  to  Botimer  on 
Saturday  night  leaving 
Botimer's  team  at  2-0.  Dreams 
of  an  undefeated  season  for 
Botimer  ended  with  a  10  point 
loss  to  Vogel  on  Sunday.  Vogel 
contributed  31  points  to  lead 
his  team  to  victory,  while 
Botimer  scored  35  for  the 
losers.  In  other  AA  league 
action,  Bovell  was  involved  in 
two  close  decisions,  losing  by 
two  points  to  Vogel,  and 
edging  out  Koliadko,  making 


his  record  1-1. 

In  A  league  only  Cain  and 
Manzella  were  undefeated 
through  Sunday,  the  16th. 
Cain  beat  Johnson  quite 
handily  and  then  edged  a  1 
point  victory  over  Greenlee. 
Manzella  defeated  Dubois  and 
Fitzgerald  with  Manzella  him- 
self scoring  19  and  23  points 
respectively  to  lead  his  team. 
Only  Dubois  and  Greenlee  are 
winless,  Dubois'  team  being 
racked  with  injuries,  and 
Greenlee  missing  key  guard 
Jim  Dobson  due  to  work 
schedule. 

In  B  league  Gregory,  Moore, 
and  Duff  are  leading  the 
league,  all  undefeated.  The 
women's  league  is  led  by 
Abbott  and  McQuistan  both 
with  2-0  records.  Keys  to  both 
teams'  victories  have  been 
their  balanced  scoring,  with 
Tamara  Nafie  and  Loretta 
Mosser  the  leaders  for 
McQuistan.

Making  my  monthly  pilgrim- 
age up  to  the  Accent  office  for 
the  siaff  meeting,  I  found  only 
Ken.  ihe  editor,  there. 
-Where  is  everybody?"  I 
asked.  "Oh."  he  shrugged. 
■■They  knocked  off  for  ihe 
weekend.  The  reporters  just 
handed  their  stories  in.  Want 
to  read  a  few?"  He  handed 
over  a  sheaf  of  papers.  The 
headlines  sounded  dubious. 
-Food  Found  in  C.K."  "Dean 
Evans  Swears  Off  Golf  for  One 
Week."  "Mercantile  Book 
Scam  Uncovered."  Actually, 
that  last  one  just  might  be 
good  stuff. 

•'What  else  is  new,  Ken?" 
"Well,"  he  yawned,  "We've 
just  finished  tallying  up  last 
semester's  Accent  poll.  You 
remember.  We  asked  the 
students  what  their  favorite 
Accent  feature  was."  1  perked 


up.  This  should  be  easy-a 
breeze.  "So,  what  were  the 
results,  Rozell  old  boy?" 
"Well...."  he  hedged.  Aw, 
c'mon  Ken.  How  high  did  the 
Cynic  score?"  He  cleared  his 
throat.  "The  number  one  fea- 


(dn 


oil). 


1,500  votes  (louder),  was  Gar- 
field (cymbals?).  But  don't 
worry — you  got  four  votes. 
Three  look  like  your  hand- 
writing, though."  Livid,  I 
snatched  his  tally  sheet.  It 
was  clear:  Garfield  was  No.  1. 
Why  that  obnoxious  orange 
ball  of  fur...  "Say,"  asked 
Ken,  "I  wonder  who  gave  you 
that  one  vote  not  in  your 
handwriting."  "I  used  my 
other  hand,"  I  snapped. 
Ken  tried  to  console  me. 
"Hey,  don't  take  it  so  hard. 
Here,  take  a  look  at  some 
manuscripts  I'm  writing.  This 


one  should  be  good:  "My 
Brush  With  the  Law:  The 
Greg  Wheeler  Story."  I  got 
another:  "Drama  in  Real 
Life:  Four  Years  in 
Collegedale."  Good  reading, 
huh?" 

Ignoring  him,  I  tried  to  figure 
out  a  strategy.  "Look,  Rozell. 
This  paper  isn't  big  enough 
for  the  borh  of  us.  Either  he 
goes,  or  I  go."  "Well  Vic,  1 
guess  this  is  goodbye." 
Amazed,  I  shrieked,  "Why 
can't  he  go?"  In  a  steady  voice 
he  told  me.  "Do  you  have 
claws?  Look,  why  don't  you 
invite   him    over   for    dinner. 

Maybe  you  can   discuss   this 

veg,  I'd  have  him  over  as  din- 
ner." "C'mon  Vic.  I'll  call  him 
now,  allright?"  "Affright." 
His  limo  parked  out  front,  I 
greeted   him   at   the   door.    I 


shook  his  paw  vigorously. 
"An  honor.  Mr  Garfield,  a 
real  honor."  Yep,  I  could  feel 
those  claws.  "Please  step 
inside  Mr.  Garfield.     Would 


line 


You  must  be  tired  after  your 
trip."  With  a  bored  look,  he 
said.  "No  thank  you,  I  brought 
some  extra  copies  of  your 
articles."  I  tried  to  change  the 
subject.  "I  didn't  know  what 
you'd  like,  so  I  got  a  little  of 
everything.  Chef's  Blend? 
Crave?  Purina?"  He  stared. 
"1WANTLASAGNA."  "But  I 
don't  have  any!"  "Then,"  he 
flicked  his  tail,  "I'm  leaving." 
Now  I  was  MAD.  "Listen 
fatso,  I  might  as  well  tell  you. 
Get  out  of  the  Accent.  You've' 
got  every  paper  in  the  country, 
but  the  Accent's  mine."  He 
snickered.  Maybe  1  should 
insult  him?  "You  look  pretty 


stupid  with  half-closed  eyes." 
"You  look  pretty  stupid  with 
four."  Hmm,  that  didn't  work. 
Maybe  I'll  intimidate  him. 
"Who's  ever  seen  an  orange 
cat?"  "Who's  ever  seen  a 
Ukrainian?"  This  cat  really 
belts  them  low.  Maybe  I 
should  scare  him.  "Wanna 
start  losing  nine  lives?"  He 
stretched  and  his  claws  made 
pinging  noises  as  they  flicked 
out.  "O.K."  Terrified,  I  got 
on  my  knees.  "Please,  Mr. 
Garfield,  won't  you  at  least 
slay  off  my  page?"  With  a 
benevolent  look,  he  nodded. 
"I'll  talk  to  Jon  and  Odie." 

Relieved,  I  showed  him  to  the 
door.  As  his  limo  drove  away, 
I  couldn'  t  help  but  think  of  101 
uses  for  a  dead  cat,  Vol.  II.

PRESIDED  REAGAN* 

Congressional  leaders,  and  a 
bi-partisan  reform  panel  ac- 
cepted a  $169  billion  Social 
Security  bailout  plan  that  will 
speed  up  planned  increases  In 
the  payroll  tax,  put  taxes  on 
benefits  received  by  those  in 
the  upper  and  middle  classes, 
and  delay  this  July's  cost-of- 
living  increase  by  six  months. 


ARMS  CONTROL  BOSS 
Eugene  Rostow  was  fired  by 
President  Reagan,  who  shifted 
primary  responsibility  for 
policymaking  in  that  area  to 
Secretary  of  State  Schultz. 
The  move  was  an  effort  to  end 
interna)  dissent  over  the 
Administration's  arms  control 
policy. 


PRESIDENT  REAGAN 

denied  reports  that  his  admin- 
istration is  in  "disarray" 
caused  by  feuds  over  such 
issues  as  arms  control  and 
budget  cutting.  Regan  blam- 
ed the  stories  on  a  news- 
hungry  media,  charging  that 
the  real  disarray  lies  "in  those 
stories  that  seem  to  be  going 
around,  because  they  are  not 
based  on  fact." 

LEBANON  AND  ISRAEL 
finalized  an  agenda  for  peace 
talks  that  included  "the  term- 
ination of  the  state  of  war," 
"a  framework  for  mutual  rela- 
tions," security  arrange- 
ments, and  Israeli  troop  with- 
drawals. The  agreement  came 
after  three  weeks  of  hard 
bargaining    in    which    Israel 


demanded  that  the  main  topic 
be  normalization  of  Israeli- 
Lebanese  relations  and  Leba- 
non insisted  on  withdrawal  of 
Israeli  troops. 

PRESIDENT  REAGAN  Ex- 
pects a  1984  budget  deficit  of 
about  $185  billion  according  to 
Administration  and  Con- 
gressional sources.    The  pro 


jected  shortfall  comes  in  spite 
of  recently  announced  budget 
cuts  of  $45-50  billion.  Sources 
close  to  the  president  pointed 
out  that  the  deficit  picture 
could  become  brighter  if  the 
gloomy  economic  forecast  on 
which  it's  based  proves  false.

Senate     votes 
project 


The  8th  Senate  meeting  of 
the  school  year  was  character- 
ized by  lively  discussion  on 
many  topics.  Brent  Van 
Arsdell  opened  the  meeting 
with  an  interesting  devotional.' 

Senate  excused  absence 
requests  from  several  sena- 
tors, then  Joe  Robertson  read 
a  veto  from  SA  President 
Alvin  Franklin  of  Reg  Rice's 
absence  from  last  week. 
Senator  Rice  was  excused 
from  the  senate  for  a  basket- 
ball game.  The  senate  did  not 
override  the  veto. 

Lorie  Coston  gave  the  second 
reading  of  the  Senate  Project. 
The  original  proposal  called 
for  the  purchase  of  four  IBM 
Selectric  typewriters  at  $828 
each,  the  installation  of  a 
water  fountain  by  the  tennis 
courts  for  $900,  and  the  instal- 
lation of  more  bookshelves  for 
the  cafeteria  at  the  cost  of 
S400. 

Senator  Coston  added  that 
the  sale  of  old  typewriters 
would  bring  in  $550  and  with 
the  addition  of  the  $4000 
budgeted  for  the  senate  pro- 
ject, this  would  be  within  $62 
of  the  budget. 


Mike  Palsgrove  moved  that 
the  Senate  list  the  priorities  in 
which  the  projects  should  be 
executed.  Palsgrove  suggest- 
ed the  typewriters  be  the  first 
priority,  shelves  second,  and 
water  fountain  third. 

The  Senator  then  gave  much 
discussion  about  the  priority 
system.  Vice-President  Joe 
Robertson  suggested  that  the 
Senate  consider  adding  ceiling 
fans  to  the  Senate  project. 
J.T.  Shim,  the  sponsor  of  the 
water  fountain  bill,  questioned 
why  the  report  was  being 
challenged.  Despite  the  oppo- 
sition of  Shim  and  others,  an 
ammendment  to  add  the  ceil- 
ing fan  and  make  it  a  higher 
priority  than  the  water  foun- 
tain passed  11  to  9,  with  two 
senators  abstaining.  The 
original  motion,  with  the 
attached  ammendment,  pass- 
ed 12  to  9,  with  one  absten- 
tion. 

Terry  Shaw  read  proposed 
changes  in  the  SA  Constitu- 
tion. The  major  changes 
focused  on  the  percentage  of 
signatures  necessary  for  a 
recall  election  from  7  percent 
to  15  percent  of  the  voters. 


The  new  constitution  was 
accepted  unanimously  by  the 
Senate. 

Mark  Bolton  next  presented 
the  election  committee  report 
on  suggested  changes  in  the 
Elections  Manual.  Bolton 
briefly  discussed  some  of  the 
changes  before  a  discussion 
on  some  aspects  of  the  manual 
divided  the  Senate  into  a  few, 
small  ad  hoc  committees.  The 
main  changes  in  the  manual 
concern  the  qualifications  for 
the  SA  Senate.  The  9 '/a  week 
attendance  requirement  at  SC 
was  dropped  as  was  the 
necessary  GPA. 

The  biggest  change  came  in 
the  way  the  general  elections 


will  be  held.  In  the  past,  if 
more  than  2  people  were 
running  for  a  job  and  one 
person  did  not  receive  the 
required  percentage  of  the 
vote,  runoff  elections  were 
held.  As  it  stands  now, 
primary  elections  will  be  held 
to  decide  the  qualifiers  for  the 
general  election.  One  inter- 
esting twist  has  been  added. 
The  results  of  the  primaries 
will  be  known  only  to  the  SA 
President,  Vice-President, 
and  the  SA  sponsor. 


After  more  discussion  ( 
subject,  Ken  Bradley  made  a 
motion  to  accept  the  Elections 
Manual,  while  tabling  a  para- 
graph on  special  elections 
which  conflicted  with  the  just- 
passed  constitution. 
J.T.  Shim  presented  a  short 
report  on  coming  changes  in 
the  phone  system,  and  Joe 
Robertson  closed  the  meeting 
with  a  reminder  of  the  Valen- 
tine's Banquet  coming  up  and 
asked  the  senators  to  promote 
the  event  as  much  as  possible.

Former     Miss  America 
to  speak 


Internationally  known  moti- 
vational expert  Marilyn  Van 
Derbur  will  speak  today  dur- 
ing chapel  and  tonight  for  the 
E.  A.  Anderson  Lecture  Series. 
Ms.  Van  Derbur  received  the 
1980  Speakers  Hall  of  Fame 
Award  and  has  been  named 
•■Outstanding  Woman  Speak- 
er in  America."  Her  lecture 
topic  tonight  is  "You  CAN  Do 

It...H..." 

Ms.  Van  Derbur's  public 
career  began  when  she  was 
selected  as  Miss  America. 
Since  then  she  has  hosted  23 
network  television  specials  on 
CBS  and  NBC  and  has  spoken 
to  business  and  educational 
groups  throughout  the  coun- 


try. In  1981  she  produced 
eight  30-minute  motivational 
films  which  have  been  shown 
throughout  North  America  at 
business  and  civic  meetings 
and  conventions.

The  program  will  be  held  at  8 
p  m  this  evening  in  the 
Thatcher  Hall  Chapel.  This  is 
the  third  meeting  of  the  E.A. 
Anderson  Lecture  Series. 


"It  is  with  regret  that  I  make 
this  report,"  Elder  Neal  Wil- 
son, President  of  the  General 
Conference  of  Seventh-day 
Adventists  said  in  response  to 
the  release  of  the  President's 
Review  Commission  Report. 
"It  is  one  of  the  most  heart- 
breaking things  that  I  have 
been  called  upon  to  share  with 
our  people." 

The  commission  investigated 
and  reviewed  transactions 
between  the  SDA  church  and 
Donald  Davenport.  They 
found  that  in  most  cases, 
when  church  entities  were 
owed  money  by  Davenport  at 
the  time  he  went  bankrupt, 
church  policy  had  been  bro- 
ken. In  all,  163  names  were 
reviewed  in  such  areas  as 
conflict  of  interest,  dishonesty 
and  incompetence. 

The  report  and  the  subse- 
quent investigation  may  have 
far-reaching  consequences  for 
the   church.      The    Southern 


Accent  has  learned  that  at 
least  five  Union  Conference 
Presidents  have  been  cited  for 
discipline  and  will  be  inter- 
viewed concerning  their 
involvement  in  the  Davenport 
affair. 

A  number  of  other  church 
officals.will  also  be  interview- 
ed and  be  subject  to  discipline 
ranging  from  a  private  letter 
of  administrative  disapproval 
and  caution  to  termination  of 
denominational  employment 
and  possible  revocation  of 
ministerial  credentials. 

At  this  time,  no  names  have 
been  released.  Sources  esti-  ^^ 
mate  that  it  may  be  as  long  as  (^ 
two  months  before  a  list  of 
persons  receiving  various 
kinds  of  discipline  will  be 
released.  General  Conference 
officals,  however,  refused  to 
be  quoted.  One  man  said, 
You'll  find  out  all  about  it  in 
the  Review   when    it    comes 


2/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/ January  27.  1983

J 


Am 


asking 


too      mu  c  h  ? 

Chapels  obviously  serve  a  purpose.  Just  because  students 
are  required  to  go  does  not  mean  that  they  are  mindless 
drabble.    At  least  I  thought  so,  until  lately. 

Last  Tuesday  I  dutifully  went  to  chapel  to  get  my  needed 
two  points,  only  to  find  that  the  scheduled  chapel  program 
had  been  cancelled  and  division  meetings  were  to  be  held.  (I 
lost  those  two  points.) 

This  past  Tuesday  I  went  to  the  gym  (where  I  was  told 
chapel  was  to  be  held)  and  found  very  few  students  there. 
Now  it  could  have  been  because  last  week's  division  chapels 
were  held  this  week  instead.  It  could  have  been  because  the 
Senior  class  was  organizing  in  Thatcher  at  the  same  time.  It 
even  could  have  been  because  there  was  nobody  there  to  give 
cards  to  the  gentlemen  who  wished  to  attend  or  to  pick  up  the 
cards  from  the  women  who  stayed. 

It  was  not  because  time  and  effort  had  not  been  spent  on 
providing  an  interesting  chapel  program. 

Now,  I'm  sure  that  each  and  every  chapel  program  is 
designed  with  the  student  in  mind.  These  programs  are 
planned  to  fit  the  needs  and  wants  of  the  student  body  and  to 
help  them  enrich  their  minds.  Therefore,  careful  scheduling 
is  necessary  to  accomplish  this.  But,  no  matter  how  or 
why,  something  comes  up  and  plans  are  changed.  This  can 
be  unnerving  to  the  student  who  depends  on  getting  two 
points  in  at  one  time. 

I  enjoy  getting  two  points  at  one  shot,  and  so  chapels  are  hot 
a  chore  for  me.  But  I  feel  ridiculous  when  I  walk  all  the  way1 
over  to  the  church  and  chapel  has  been  cancelled.  How  come 
there  wasn't  a  sign  on  the  door  of  the  dorm? 

I  don't  think  that  we  as  students  are  expecting  too  much 
when  we  ask  to  be  informed  about  the  changes  in  required 
programs  on  campus.  1  think  that  we  deserve  that  much 
consideration.   After  all,  /  pay  to  go  here.

pear  Editor, 

Last  week  as  silent,  white 
snow  covered  our  campus,  the 
thought  of  a  Thatcher- Talge 
snowball  fight  seemed  like  a 
great  idea.  Well  it  was  unti  it 
got  started.  From  that  mo- 
ment on,  there  occured  a 
strange  metemorphasis. 

The  silent  snow  mixed  with 
the  excitement  of  the  night 
and  created  within  the  attend- 
ing students  a  wild  rage.  Yes, 
our  very  own  Southern  College 
students  became  like  seven 
year-old   children   during   re- 


cess. In  their  rage  of  immatu- 
rity, they  bombarded  the  front 
of  Thatcher  Hall  as  if  it  were 
the  walls  of  the  Kremlin. 
With  careful  aim,  windows 
were  broken,  people  injured, 
and  soon  the  whole  scene 
looked  like  a  riot.  An  innocent 
snowball  fight  is  one  thing, 
but  an  all  out  iceball  war  is 
another. 

When  the  S.A.  tried  to  serve 
hot  chocolate,  the  mob  care- 
lessly fired  ice  balls  into  the 
crowded  area.  The  cups  that 
were    set    up    for    the    hot 


chocolate,  intended  for  th 
snowballeres,  became  ^ 
targets  until  they  felI  J* 
ground.  ™" 

The  purpose  of  this  letter  is 
remind  my  fellow  students 
that  we  cannot  expect  to  gain 
or  keep  the  respect  of  the 
Administration  as  mature  col 
lege  students  if  we  are  unable 
to  control  ourselves  in  such  a 
small  situation  as  an  innocent 
snowball  battle. 

Sincerely, 
Joe  Robertson 


Frampton     performs 


by  Moni  Gennick 

The  Mac  Frampton  Trio 
performed  at  Southern  Col- 
lege January  22.  The  concert 
began  at  8:00  p.m.  in  the  P.E. 
Center. 

Frampton  surrounded  his 
own  excellent  performance  on 
the  piano  with  two  very  gifted 
musicians.  Arthur  Mont- 
gomery his  percussionist,  and 
Tom  Cahall,  his  string  bass 
player  who  also  played   the 

The  evening  started  off  with 
a  fast-paced  vivacious  number 
and  commenced  with  such 
pieces  as  "I  Write  the  Songs" 
"McArfhur  Park,"  and 
"Rhapsody  in  Blue." 

A  favorite  composer  and 
performing  artist  of  Frampton 


is  Melissa  Manchester.  He 
played  several  of  her  pieces 
including  "Come  In  From  the 
Rain"    and    "Don't   Cry   Out 

Frampton,  Cahall  and  Mont- 
gomery have  been  performing 
together  for  almost  ten  years, 
since  they  met  back  in  college. 
Traveling  and  performing  is 
just  what  Frampton  has  al- 
ways wanted  to  do. 

"I'm  happy  with  what  I'm 
doing,"  Frampton  said.  "It 
isn'i  all  fun  and  games,  but  it 
is  all  worth  it,  to  do  exactly 
what  1  want.  There  is  a  great 
amount  of  freedom  as  well  as 
satisfaction  gained  from  my 
present  lifestyle. 

Frampton   has   put   out   five 


albums:  Ivory  Roads,  Mac, 
Classic  Dimensions,  The  Bcsi 
of  Both  Worlds,  and  one  cut  in 
1973  that  is  no  longer  in 
circulation.  Presently  he  is 
working  on  a  gospel  album 
and  hopes  to  produce  a  new 
wave  album  in  the  future. 

Frampton's  concert  was  re- 
ceived with  a  very  positive 
attitude.  He  put  everything  he 
had  into  his  performance  and 
demonstrated  a  skill  and  ver- 
satility that  was  described  as 
absolutely  phenomenal. 

Student.  Gerald  Kovalski, 
summed  it  all  up  very  well 
when  he  said,  "It  was  excel- 
lent."

The      Fools 


i  satire  by  Jerry  Russell 


Tick  me  off!  Dallas  Cowboy 
fans  are  some  of  (he  most 
immature  obnoxious  people  in 
ihe  world.  They  go  around 
chanting  "We  want  Washing- 
ton, We  want  Washington." 
Then,  after  they  got  Washing- 
urn,  the  Redskins  beat  Dallas 
so  bad  that  il  made  their  heads 
spin.  After  the  humiliating 
defeat  the  Redskins  handed 
the  Cowboys,  Dallas  fans 
publicly  recalled  past  games 
in  which  Dallas  beat  the 
Redskins.  They  also  claimed 
that  if  their  quarterback 
hadn't  been  hurt,  they  would 
have  won  the  game. 

Where  did  this  Cowboy  fan 


phenomenon  get  its  start? 
Well,  one  day  an  obnoxious 
fool  started  a  football  team 
(the  Cowboys).  This  team  was 
brand  new  and  didn't  have 
any  fans  so  that  same  obnox- 
ious fool  called  on  his  only 
friend  (who  also  was  an  obnox- 
ious fool)  to  spread  the  word 
about  the  Dallas  Cowboys  to 
all  of  his  friends.  Needless  to 
say,  all  of  this  man's  friends 
were  obnoxious  fools.  These 
new  fans  (fools)  spread  the 
word  to  their  friends  who  (you 
guessed  it)  were  also  obnox- 
ious fools.  By  this  time  there 
were  many  obnoxious  tools  in 
the  country.  So  many,  in  fact. 


that  people  began  calling  the 
Cowboys  "America's  team." 
The  little  children  of  all  those 
obnoxious  fools  wore  t-shirts 
that  said  WHEN  I  GROW  UP  I 
WANT  TO  BE  LIKE  DADDY- 
A  FOOL-I  MEAN  A  COWBOY 
FAN. 

How  '  have  Cowboy  fans 
changed  the  course  of  history? 
If  you  remember  your  history, 
you'll  recall  that  it  was  a 
Cowboy  fan  from  Texas  who 
shot  President  John  F.  Ken- 
nedy. And  two  days  later  it 
was  another  Cowboy  fan  from 
Texas  who  shot  the  man  that 
shot  President  Kennedy. 

Have    you    ever    wondered 


^adftnes 


whether  or  not  it  was  just 
coincidence  that  Kennedy  was 
shot  in  Dallas?  Well,  it  seems 
that  the  President  was  in 
Dallas  for  a  very  big  game 
between  the  Washington  Red- 
skins and  the  Dallas  Cowboys. 
It  was  November  and  nearing 
.playoff  time  and  this  was  a 
very  critical  game  for  both 
teams.  Now,  as  everyone 
knows,  the  White  House  is 
located  in  Washington  D.C.  so 
the  President  was  a  big  Red- 
skins fan.  After  the  game, 
which  the  Redskins  won  quite 
handily,  an  enraged  Cowboy 
fan,  who  felt  that  a  man  of 
President   Kennedy's   stature 


should  himself  be  a  Cowboy 
fan,  and  was  seeking  revenge 
on  the  President,  shot  him. 

Later  on  that  day,  yet  another 
Cowboy  fan  made  history  by 
taking  that  oath  of  office  to 
replace  Kennedy.  And  what 
did  this  Cowboy  fan  do?  He 
got  us  into  the  Vietnam  war,  of 
course.  It  took  a  hot-tempered 
crook  from  San  Clemente  to 
get  us  out  of  that  one. 

Recently,  you  may  have  seen 
signs  advertising  a  fan  club  for 
those  people  who  would  like  to 
be  fans  of  the  fools  (the 
Cowboys).  No,  thank  you.  I 
be    a    fan    of    an 


obn 


s  fool. 


Circus      comes      to       town 


PRESIDENT  REAGAN  MAY 
praise  himself  for  correcting 
ihe  course  of  a  nation  "that 
was  skidding  dangerously  in 
the  wrong  direction, ' '  but 
69%  of  all  Americans  disap- 
prove of  his  economic  policies 
according  to  the  latest  Harris 
poll.  The  poll  indicates  that 
voters,  by  a  better  than  2-1 
margin  (55-27),  believe 
"Reaganomics"  to  be  a  fail- 
ure. In  a  speech  last  Thurs- 
day, Reagan  proclaimed  "a 
season  of  hope"  for  the  ailing 
economy  and  blamed  the 
deepening  recession  and  ris- 
ing unemployment  on  his 
predecessor's  policies. 

THE  BIPARTISAN  APPEAL 
on  the  Budget  Crisis,  a  group 
of  five  former  Treasury  secre- 
laries,  called  for  joint  Admin- 
istration and  Congressional 
action  to  make  big  spending 
cuts  and  large  tax  increases  in 
order  to  cut  present  budget 
defied  in  halfi  The  groupi 
representing  the  last  five 
administrations,  claimed  that 
•he  nation's  present  fiscal 
policy  was  "senseless"  and 
would  "lock  the  economy  in 
^agnation  for  the  remainder 
°f  this  century,"  if  continued. 


INFLATION  HAS  DROPPED 
3.9%,  the  lowest  rate  in  ten 
years,  and  the  White  House  is 
proclaiming  the  "good  news". 
However,  if  the  White  House 
was,  as  spokesman  Larry 
Speakes  claimed,  "winning 
the  battle  against  inflation, ' '  it 
was  losing  the  war  for  the 
GNP.  That  leading  economic 
indicator  fell  1.8%,  the  big- 
gest drop  since  1946. 

A  SEVERE  WINTER  STORM 
gripped  most  of  the  nation  last 
week,  leaving  chaos  in  its 
wake.  Throughout  the  South- 
east, schools  closed,  power 
was  knocked  out,  and  roads 
iced  over  while  hundreds  of 
homeless  indigents  suffered 
through  a  numbing  cold  in  the 
Northeast. 

AN  OPEC  EMERGENCY 
meeting  that  was  supposed  to 
bring  an  agreement  on  oil 
production  quotas  was  a  com- 
plete failure  according  to 
Saudi  Arabian  Oil  Minister 
Ahmed  Zaki  Yamani.  Ana- 
lysts expect  a  continued  de- 
cline in  oil  prices  as  a  price 
war  between  the  members  of 
the  once-monolithic  cartel 
appears  imminent. 


The  circus  is  coming!  That's 
right.  For  three  days  and  only 
six  performances,  the  world- 
famous  Ringling  Bros,  and 
Barnum  &  Bailey  Circus  will 
entertain  children  and  adults 
alike  in  the  UTC  arena  on 
February  18-20. 

For  the  first  time  in  25  years, 
the  circus  will  attempt  to 
prove  its  "Greatest  Show  on 
Earth"  claim  to  Chattanooga 
residents.  The  show  will  open 
with  "the  world's  greatest 
I      trainer",      Gunther 


Gebel-Williams,  and  his  19 
Bengal  tigers. 

The  Pink  Panther  has  joined 
the  circus  and  will  be  appear- 
ing on  stilts  and  anything  else 
he  can  manage  to  bungle.  The 
Carrillo  Brothers  will  walk  the 
highwire,  the  Flying  Espanas 
will  somersault  through  the 
air,  and  Dolly  Jacobs, 
America's  Sweetheart  of  the 
Circus,  will  perform  on  the 
Roman  rings. 

Dozens  of  clowns  and  beauti- 
ful dancing  showgirls  will  cap 


off  this  gala  edition  of  the 
circus.  Those  who  have  never 
experienced  The  Greatest 
Show  on  Earth  and  those  who 
want  to  see  it  every  year  will 
be  pleased  with  the  show  that 
Ringling  Bros,  and  Barnum  & 
Bailey  have  brought  to  town. 
Tickets  are  available  at  all 
UTC  ticket  outlets,  and  range 
from  $6  to  $8.  For  SC 
students,  good  show  times  are 
Saturday  night,  Feb.  19,  at 
7:30,  and  Sunday,  Feb.  20,  at 
1  pm.  and  6  pm.     '

Loneliness:         It      can      be       cured 


Dear  Feedback, 
No  matter  what  J  do,  1  always 
seem  to  be  lonely  and  depres- 
sed. I  try  to  be  friendly  but 
nothing  seems  to  work.  What 
can  J  do? 

Loneliness  is  an  attitude  of 
mind  more  than  it  is  a  situa- 
tional malady.  The  attitude  is: 
no  one  cares  for  me.  Everyone 
has  his  life,  and  I'm  left  out. 

It  is  quite  possible  for  people 
to  feel  lonely  and  emotionally 
isolated  even  in  a  crowd. 
Loneliness  can  happen  to  any- 
one who  feels  left  out,  re- 
jected, or  not  wanted. 
Loneliness  can  be  evidence  of 
hidden  anger.  The  lonely  per- 
son usually  explains  his  feel- 
ings as, '  'No  one  cares  for  me. 
I  try  to  make  friends,  but  I  fail. 
People  ignore  me.  Everyone 
has  his  own  friends." 

The  underlying  problem  is 
that  the  person  is  not  aware 
that  he  is  angry.  This  anger 
hinders  him  from  reaching  out 
and  making  friends. 

Loneliness  can  be  acute  or 
chronic.  Acute  loneliness  hap- 
pens with  an  immediate  emo- 
tional need  for  love  which  is 
not  met.  When  it  is  met,  the 
loneliness  goes  away.  Chronic 
loneliness  is  a  state  of  mind.  It 
underlies  most  relationships. 


"A  man  that  hath  friends 
must  show  himself  friendly" 
(Proverbs  18:24).  The  lonely 
person  finds  it  very  difficult  to 
show  himself  friendly  because 
he  is  hostile,  but  many  times 
not  aware  of  his  anger.  If  he 
can  become  aware  of  this 
anger  and  try  to  overcome  it, 
he  will  no  longer  be  lonely.  If 
he  can  admit  to  his  anger, 
either  by  talking  witn  someone 
he  can  trust  or  writing  out  his 
feelings,  he  is  on  his  way  to 
recovery. 

Some  guidelines  for  friendli- 


(1)  Expect  to  have  . 
don't  be  discouraged  and  quit 
being  friendly  simply  because 
there  are  those  who  stand 
against  you. 

(2)  Be  real  in  your  relation- 
ships-no role  playing,  get 
your  heart  right  and  real  with 
God  and  man. 

(3)  Don't  look  for  perfect 
people-remember  that  just  as 
God  is  not  through  with  you, 
He  is  not  through  with  others. 

(4)  Share  the  positive- 
gloom  and  misery  only  inten- 
sifies your  own  loneliness. 

(5)  Do  something  that  will 
give  a  feeling  of  achievement- 
master  a  craft,  etc. 


(6)  Make  more  social  con- 
tact-find a  hobby  or  join  a 
club  to  further  an  interest. 
Team  sports  might  be  what 
you  need. 

(7)  Spend  time  with  someone 
who  will  appreciate  your  car- 
ing. Help  a  disabled  child  or 
adult. 

(8)  Assess  your  loneliness 
honestly.  You  will  very  likely 
discover  that  it  exists  only  in 
your  head. 
(9)  Begin  an  attitude  de- 
velopment plan  in  which  you 
practice  enjoying  everything 
you  do. 


(10)  Take  time  for  beauty. 
Forget  your  schedule  and  stop 
for  a  moment  to  contemplate  a 
great  painting  or  watch  young 
children  at  play. 

(11)  Refuse  to  use  up  a 
present  moment  in  a  hostile 
argument.  When  you  decline 
to  argue  with  someone,  you 
teach  him  that  you  have  too 
much  respect  for  yourself  to 
engage  in  petty  bickering. 

(12)  Treat  yourself  and  every- 
one you  encounter  as  whole 
people.  Accept  and  enjoy  peo- 


ple'just  as  they  are. 

True  friends  are  priceless 
treasures.  They  are  deierrents 
to  loneliness.  The  greatest 
friendship  we  can  have  is  thai 
between  a  person  and  the 
Lord.  God  can  add  to  any  life 
the  treasure  of  friendship.  If 
you  are  lired  of  your  loneli- 
ness, first  become  better 
aquainted  with  God  and  let 
Him  enrich  your  life  and 
benefit  from  knowing  Him. 

Mrs.  Becky  Rolfe  is  a  trained 
counselor  at  Southern  College.

Pastor  Gordon  Bielz 


• 


I  fell  asleep  the  other  night 
while  reading  the  Christian 
Yellow  Pages  and  dreamed  a 
wondrous  dream.  I  was  wan- 
dering about  Wall  Sireet  in 
New  York  when  1  saw  a  big 
brass  plaie  anchored  by  a 
while  doorway,  which  read, 
Aloe  Verily,  Inc. 

I  entered  and  was  greeted  by 
a  cheery  lady  wearing  a  small 
lapel  pin  that  appeared  to  be  a 
tiny  flowering  cactus  with  a 
cross  rising  out  of  it.  She 
smiled. 

"Pardon  me,"  I  said,  "I  was 
looking  for  an..." 

"Exciting  career  in  the  Aloe 
Verily  Corporation?" 

She  had  taken  the  words 
right  out  of  my  mouth.  I  felt 
awkward  and  slow  of  speech. 
"Yes,"  I  said  at  last,  "could 
you  tell  me  more  about  Aloe 
Verily?  I'm  a  pretty  shy  per- 
son and  I  once  tried   selling 


New  Life  Vitamins  and  didn't 
do  so  well." 

"Sir,"  she  said,  "Do  you 
have  three  friends?" 

I  smiled  weakly,  almost  in- 
sulted. "Everybody  has  three 
friends,"  1  said. 

"All  you  have  to  do  is  get 
them  together  for  an  Alpha 
Aloe  Bible  Study.  An  AABS, 
as  we  say  in  the  trade!"  She 
smiled  broadly. 

"Alpha  Aloe?"  1  felt  foolish 
asking  her,  for  Alpha  obvious- 
ly stood  for  Christ  and  Aloe  for 
the  cactus  balsam  cosmetics 
that  were  making  Christians 
everywhere  more  lovely. 

"Alpha  stands  for  Christ," 
ihe  said  excitedly,  "And  Aloe 


fort 


bals; 


■Nev 


"  I  said,  "I 
have  three  friends-four  when 
they're  all  in  town.  I  can  get 

them  together." 


"Good,"  she  said,  "Once  we 
get  them  together-after  the 
Bible  study--we  will  serve 
them  a  nice  ice-chilled  Aloe 
Vitalizer.  Then  we'll  give 
them  a  Radiant  Aloe  facial  and 
try  to  sell  them  New  Life 
Aloette  Kit,  which  includes 
their  Bible-Alpha  cassette 
study  tapes  to  clear  the  inner 
mind  as  well  as  the  Aloe  Verily 
lotion  control  and  nutrient 
program." 

"How  much?"  I  asked. 

"How  much  for  what?"  she 
replied,  and  then  went  on: 
"My  dear,  we  at  Aloe  Verily 
never  talk  about  how  much 
-money  cannot  be  considered 
in  lieu  of  the  total  inner  and 
outer  cleansing  of  Alpha  con- 
trol." 

"How  much  will  this  cost  my 
three  friends?" 

"Only  a  few  cents  per  day." 

"For  how  long?" 


"For  three  years." 

"What's  in  this  for  Aloe 
Verily?"  I  felt  shame  in 
asking  such  a  question. 

"The  question  is  not  what  it 
costs  your  three  friends;  you 
see,  it  could  be  free  for  them, 
just  as  it  is  for  you."  There 
was  a  pause,  I  thought  of 
Harry,  Jake,  and  Bill.  Would 
they  go  for  Aloe  Verily? 

"Remember,"  she  said, 
"Cleanliness  is  next  to  godli- 
ness and  Aloe  Verily  means 

It  was  a  company  slogan. 
"How  could   it  be  free   for 
Harry,    Jake,    and    Bill?"    I 

"Well,  if  they  each  have 
three  friends  and  agree  to 
have  an  Alpha  Aloe  Bible 
Study..." 

"Then  they  get  a  tall,  chilled 
glass  of  Alpha  Aloe  Vitalizer 
and  Radiant  Aloe  facial  and 


New  Life  Aloette  Kit..." 

"Precisely,"  she  beamed, 
"And  you  get  an  override  on 
all  they  sell." 

"Does  this  mean  that  if 
Harry,  Jake,  and  Bill's  nine 
friends  each  have  three 
friends  that  I  could  be  swim- 
ming in  Aloe  Verily?" 

"If  Harry,  Jake,  and  Bill's  27 
contacts  all  buy  Aloe  Verily 
and  establish  three  contacts, 
you  could  eventually  be  mak- 
ing enough  money  that  you 
could  quit  going  to  the  Bible 
studies  altogether." 

It  was  a  lovely  idea  but  I  had 
to  ask,  "Miss,  do  you  have 
three  friends?" 

She  hung  her  head  sadly,  "I 
used  to,"  she  said.

TONY  PASILLAS-  We  were 
teaching  our  6  p.m.  classes 
when  all  of  a  sudden  the  lights 
went  out  (a  frequent  occur- 
rence in  Bandung).  Gary  and  I 
decided  to  teach  some  songs 
and  finally  joined  our  two 
classes.  I  taught  them  Mary 
Had  a  Little  Lamb  and  You 
Can  Smile.  The  Lord  gave  me 
a  flash  of  insight,  so  I  ex- 
plained how  the  nursery 
rhyme  Marv  Had  a  Little 
Lamb  pointed  to  Jesus.  (I'd 
never  thought  of  it  before!) 
Later  after  class,  a  student 
came  to  me  and  wanted  to  talk 
about  a  problem  he  had  been 
off  drugs  for  two  weeks  and  he 
couldn't  sleep  at  night.  So  I 
'old  him  how  Jesus  could  help 
him  and  shared  some  Bible 
promises.  We  then  prayed. 
These  Indonesian  people  are 
wonderful  I  wish  you  all  could 
be  here.  Praise  God.  He  has  a 
Place  for  me  here! 


CHERIE  BROWN-  Two  of 
my  Bible  students  really  need 
your  prayers.  One  is  Maria, 
fn  older  lady  who  really  knows 
nee  Bible,  yet  goes  to  church 
yet  on  Sunday.  Just  recently 
she  has  been  totally  convinced 
■hat  Saturday  is  the  Sabbath, 
and  vet  she  just  can't  seem  to 
make  the  switch.  The  second 
one  is  Christopher,  a  Catholic 
*n°  is  beginning  to  have 
^estions  about  some  of  the 
eachmgs  of  the  Catholic 
urch.    He  never  reads  his 


Bible,  and  yet  now  he  has 
started  to  become  interested 
in  doing  so.  I'd  really  apprec- 
iate your  prayers  for  them — 
and  me. 

GRETCHEN  MADDOCK- 
Life  in  Jakarta  is  going  great.  I 
love  this  place.  This  second 
term  things  seem  a  lot  more 
organized  and  we  seem  to 
know  how  to  handle  things 
and  what  to  expect.  We  had 
one  fantastic  retreat  at  Anyer 
Beach.  The  Lord  really  spoke 
through  Elder  Don  Williams 
(Far  Eastern  Academy  pastor 
and  Bible  teacher).  My  Eng- 
lish classes  are  great,  and 
after  only  three  weeks,  I  love 
them  all.  We  have  started  our 
first  series  of  meetings  which 
take  a  lot  out  of  the  weekends, 
but  the  Lord  really  blesses. 
Some  SM's  left  for  home  and 
it  was  hard  saying  goodbye.  I 
can't  imagine  what  it  is  going 
to  be  like  to  leave  this  place. 
But  I  can't  think  in  those  lines 
for  I  have  8  more  monthsl 
Everyone  take  care.  Keep 
writing-love  your  lettersl 

DE  ANN  BARNETT-  School 
began  with  the  closing  of  a 
door  and  21  small  faces  watch- 
ing me.  At  times  I  wish  they 
could  understand  me  better, 
but  for  kindergarteners  they 
are  catching  on  fast.  I'm  also 
catching  on  to  the  fact  that  ! 
need  an  open  line  to  God  all 
the  time.  It  was  raining  out- 
side one  day,  so  all  the  flies 


had  taken  refuge  in  my  class- 
room and  the  children  were 
very  distracted.  We  had  a 
special  prayer  that  the  flies 
not  bother  the  kids.  From  then 
on  the  only  ones  pestered 
my  interpreter  and  myself. 
The  children  were  finally  able 
to  concentrate.  Praise  the  Lord 
for  small  miracles.  The  Lord 
has  given  me  the  patience  I 
needed.  These  kids  squirm  a 
lot,  but  I  love  them. 


KEVIN  COSTELLO-  Since 
this  is  the  first  report  that  we 
SM's  from  Majuro  have  had  to 
fill  out,  I  figure  a  brief  report 
on  this  island  might  be  in 
order.  Majuro,  the  capital  of 
the  Marshall  Islands,  is  lo- 
cated about  2,000  miles  west- 
southwest  of  Hawaii,  about 
7®  north  of  the  equator.  Our 
island  is  part  of  an  atoll,  built 
on  a  coral  reef.  The  weather, 
of  course,  is  tropical.  The 
island  itself  is  about  30  miles 
long  and  in  some  places  only  a 
few  •  feet  wide.  Upon  first 
arrival,  thoughts  of  claustro- 
phobia are  ever  present.  How- 
ever, since  then,  I've  been  too 
busy  to  even  worry  about  it 
and  thus  am  cured!  The 
economic  situation  is  relative-- 
to  an  American,  conditions  are 
quite  sparse.  In  comparison  to 
a  refugee  camp  in  Thailand  or 
somewhere,  this  would  seem 
like  Paradise  Island!  (Hi!  to 
Henry,  Tony,  Gretchen,  Che- 
rie  and  the  rest  from  SMC.) 


ORLINDA  DEGRA  W-Being 
a  graduate  of  SMC  hasn't 
exempted  me  from  typical  SM 
problems!  Having  to  repeat 
things  over  and  over  is  just 
one  problem  the  Lord  solved 
for  me-with  a  good  case  of 
laryngitis.  I  learned  more 
patience,  and  I  learned  to 
listen-to  my  29  fifth  graders 
and  to  my  Lord.  One  day  I  had 
a  real  bummer.  It  began  when 
I  left  out  an  entire  line  in  my 
daily  text  as  I  wrote  it  on  the 
board.  Add  20  extra  energetic 
fifth  graders,  clean  laundry 
bunched  in  a  mangled  pile 
atop  the  dryer,  a  fight  be- 
tween a  brother  and  sister 
ending  with  a  rock  and  blood 
all  over  from  her  forehead. 
Then,  when  I'd  had  just  about 
all  I  could  handle  and  the  bell 
was  to  ring  soon,  a  boy 
suddenly  got  sick  all  over  the 
classroom  floor!  Diligent  ear- 
nest prayer  and  a  most  under- 
standing friend  were  my  an- 
swers. Never  give  up,  Jesus  is 
coming. 

CAROLYN  SCHOONOVER- 
Three  hours  after  arriving  in 
Majuro,  I  headed  for  the 
beach  with  DeAnn  and  Or- 
linda.  Mv  visions  of  a  Pacific 
Paradise  were  a  bit  startled  by 
the  scattered  trash,  but  I  stU.1 
thought  it  pretty  nice.  My 
excitement  grew  as  we  snor- 
kled among  the  tropical  fish 
and  coral.  Then  I  happened  to 
glance  back  at  the  beach... 
and  shrieked!  Two  huge  pigs 


were  wandering  at  the  water's 
edge.  "Orlinda!"  I  gasped. 
"There  are  pigs  here!"  Or- 
linda, a  Majuro  veteran  of  one 
week  merely  shrugged  and 
said,  "Don't  worry,  they're 
friendly."  (Hardly  my  priority 
concern!)  So  much  for  my  first 
case  of  culture  shock.  Since 
then  I've  grown  to  love  Majuro 
and  even  take  the  pigs  for 
granted.  I've  also  discovered 
that  instead  of  me  doing 
something  for  God.  it's  God 
who  is  doing  great  things  for 
me.  Teaching  here  is  definite- 
ly a  unique  experience.  Prob- 
ably my  most  memorable  day 
occured  two  days  after  the 
elementary  kids  received  de- 
worming  medication.  I  was 
complacently  teaching  math 
when  suddenly  someone 
shrieked,  "Miss  Schoonoverl 
A  snake!"  Turning,  I  saw  Joe 
sitting  upright  in  his  chair, 
both  hands  clamped  tightly 
over  his  mouth,  eyes  wide 
with  shock.  There  on  his  desk, 
still  writhing,  lay  an  eight- 
inch  white  worm...!  Well,  on 
those  days  when  the  kids  drive 
you  crazy,  remember  that 
"They  who  wait  upon  the  Lord 
shall  renew  their  strength, 
they  shall  mount  up  with 
wings  as  eagles;  they  shall 
run  and  not  be  weary..

Qoattom  CVtC

Well!  My  favorite  time  of 
year,  or  one  of  them,  is  upon 
us  This  is  that  wonderful 
season  where  almost  a  dozen 
siudems  suddenly  raise  their 
grades  and  reputations  and 
lower  themselves.  Overnight, 
[hey  make  hundreds  of  friends 
and  forget  their  enemies. 
The  Latin  term,  I  believe,  is 
excessivi  electivi;  however, 
the  less  educated  among  us 
simply  refer  to  the  season  as 
"election  week". 
Now,  a  whole  week  devoted 
to  shady  political  activities  can 
raise  all  kinds  of  possibilities. 
As  fellow  students  of  the 
aspiring  candidates,  it  is  our 
job  and  responsibility  to  test 
the  sincerity  of  these  people. 
Sort  of  find  out  what  a  couple 


of  votes  are  worth  to  them. 
The  situation  offers  some  fan- 
tastic business  opportunities; 
if  you  don't  believe  me,  write 
to  Victor  Czerkasij.  He's  not 
really  as  dumb  as  he  sounds  in 
his  column. 


Of 


ledge  those  who  wish  to  be  in 
the  public  eye  for  a  year. 
Before  you  people  start  your 
campaign,  though,  you  might 
wish  to  consider  some  of  the 
other  offices,  the  ones  you 
don't  hear  about  too  often. 
For  instance:  O.P.C.  The 
Official  Preppie  Checker.  This 
person  must  attend  anything 
the  president  and  vice-presi- 
dent do  to  make  sure  they  are 
dressed  appropriately.  If  he 
spots  a  fox  anywhere  on  his 


charges,  he  must  shoot  it. 

C.I. A.  The  Cookie  Insurance 
Army.  Four  people  occupy 
this  position  and  their  sole 
duty  is  to  insure  the  safe 
delivery  of-munchies  for  cook- 
ie breaks.  They  also  have  to 
devise  ways  to  keep  their 
closest  competition  down  the 
road  out  of  their  territory.  The 
C.I.A.'s  main  complaint  last 
year  was  that  this  competition 
used  false  advertising;  they 
put  pictures  of  girls  on  their 
products  but  on  the  inside  all 
that  was  found  was  a  cookie. 
This  job  is  quite  interesting. 

A.R.        Alarm    Repeater. 
Though  the  job  definitely  has 
advantages,    it    also    has    its 
drawbacks.     One  of  them  is 
that  the  A.R.  must  attend  all 


Senate  meetings  and  every 
fifteen  minutes,  he  should 
make  rounds  and  wake  every- 
one up.  If  he  doesn't  the  S.S. 
will  be  out  of  work. 

S.S.  The  Senate  Scriptwrit- 
er. This  job  has  a  few 
prerequisites:  the  S.S.  needs 
to  have  a  basic  knowledge  of 
English  and  all  of  its  dialects. 
Moreover,  he  should  be  a 
fairly  dull  personality  without 
much  to  say.  His  senate 
scripts  will  then  have  all  the 
ingredients  necessary  to  flavor 
a  Senate  meeting;  hopefully, 
everyone  will  be  more  inter- 
ested in  checking  the  big  guys 
for  foxes. 

R.D.A.  Religion  Department 
Antagonist.  This  job  offers 
the  highest  pay  and  also  is  the 


only  one  to  furnish  travel 
opportunities.  Places  such  as 
Berrien  Springs,  Glacier  View, 
Angwin  and  Australia  are  all 
important  stops  for  the  R.D.A.' 
He  will  as  effectively  as  possi- 
ble misquote,  slander  and  tear 
down  the  department  he 
represents.  Every     good 

R.D.A.  should  try  to  move  at 
least  one  prominent  person 
out  of  his  present  position  and 
into  one  more  precarious. 
This  job,  too,  has  endless 
opportunities. 
Well,  of  course  these  are  just 
a  few  of  the  easier  positions, 
but  at  least  you  hopefuls  won't 
have  to  limit  yourselves.  After 
all,  someone  will  have  to  do  it. 
There  are  some  things  we  just 
can't  do  without.

Wagner  accepts  presidency 


Dr.  John  Wagner,  currently 
Academic  Dean  at  Union  Col- 
lege, has  accepted  a  call  to 
become  Southern  College's 
new  president.  Wagner,  and 
his  wife  Lilya,  have  worked  for 
the  SDA  denomination  for 
approximately  seventeen 

years,  beginning  in  1962  at 
Platte  Valley  Academy. 

Wagner  has  also  worked  at 
Pioneer  Valley  Academy, 
Madison  Academy,  and  Forest 
Lake  Academy,  in  various 
positions.  Some  of  these 
include  Dean  of  Boys,  P.E. 
teacher,  Guidance  Director, 
Registrar,  Vice  Principal,  and 
Principal. 

Dr.  Wagner  became  an 
Adventist    as    a   result    of   a 


literature  evangelism  effort  in 
his  hometown  of  Pottstown 
Pennsylvania.  "My  parents 
were  baptized  as  a  result  of 
the  book  Bible  Readings  for 
the  Home,  which  was  purchas- 
ed soon  after  I  was  born." 

Wagner  went  to  church 
school,  then  completed  two 
years  of  public  high  school 
before  continuing  his  Chris- 
tian education  and  graduating 
at  Shenandoah  Valley  Acade- 
my. His  college  years  were 
spent  at  Washington  Mission- 
ary College,  now  Columbia 
Union  College,  and  Atlantic 
Union  College. 

Mrs.  Wagner  was  born  in 
Estonia  and  immigrated  with 
her  family  to  America  during 


the  end  of  World  War  II,  an 
experience  which  she  wrote 
about  in  "To  Linger  is  to 
Die",  a  book  for  young 
people.  She  met  her  husband 
at  Atlantic  Union  College, 
where  they  both  graduated 
with  B.A.  degrees. 

Mrs.  Wagner  has  written  for 
several  publications  and  is  the 
author  of  at  least  two  books. 
She  has  worked  in  Public 
Relations,  as  a  music  teacher, 
as  Assistant  Director  of  the 
Teaching  Learning  Center, 
and  is  currently  teaching  En- 
glish at  Union. 

Mrs.  Wagner  will  be  working 
as  an  Associate  Public  Rela- 
tions Director  for  the  Adven- 
tist   Health    Systems/Sunbelt 


in  the  Collegedale  office. 

Both  of  the  Wagners  have 
doctorates  from  the  University 
of  Florida  (Gainsville)  and 
have  been  at  Union  College  for 
the  past  two  years. 

As  to  his  views  on  education, 
Dr.  Wagner  foresees  "no 
drastic  change  in  the  direction 
of  SC",  and  considers  it  "a 
strong  educational  center." 

According  to  Elder  McClure, 
President  of  the  Southern 
Union,  and  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  for  SC,  is 
"very  happy"  with  the  deci- 
sion. He  stated,  "I  think  Dr. 
Wagner  is  a  strong  scholar 
and  church  leader.  He  will 
lead  the  way  as  he  sees  best."

I      Love      WSMC 
Week       starts 


WSMC,  the  radio  station  for 
Southern  College,  will  be 
sponsoring  its  annual  fund 
raising  campaign  beginning 
Saturday  night,  February  5 
and  ending  the  next  week. 
This  campaign  will  involve  an 
on-the-air  pledge  drive  which 
WI'l  give  listeners  and  sup- 
porters a  chance  to  help  the 
station  directly. 
Az°al  has  been  set  at 
WU,000,  up  from  $27,000  last 
year.  This  money  is  intended 
to  improve  signal  transmis- 
sion, retain  popular  programs, 
and  develop  new  programs 
™at  wdl  interest  the  commun- 

The  Nation  hopes  to  add  200 
more  contributors  this  year, 
not  only  in  business  and  public 


support,  but  also  more  student 
support.  WSMC  will  be 
promoting  world-wide  tours  as 
a  means  of  raising  money  in 
addition  to  the  pledges  that 
help  to  financially  support  the 
station. 

Mike  Meriweather,  Develop- 
ment Director  for  WSMC, 
estimates  that  there  will  be 
approximately  50%  inter- 
ruption of  regular  program- 
ming with  20  to  30  minutes  of 
music  for  every  10  minutes  of 
talk. 

Twenty-three  to  twenty-five 
percent  of  WSMC's  budget 
comes  from  this  annual  pledge 
drive.  The  rest  comes  from 
the  college  and  the  Corpora- 
tion for  Public  Broadcasting. 


Elder  Gary  Patterson,  Geor- 
gia-Cumberland Conference 
President  and  Elder  Richard 
Center,  Conference  Treasur- 
er, were  the  featured  speakers 
at  the  Collegedale  Adventist 
Forum  meeting  held  on  Janu- 
ary 29.  The  two  church  offi- 
cials gave  short  presentations, 
and  answered  questions  from 
the  audience. 

The  biggest  issue  of  the 
afternoon  was  the  Davenport 
affair.  Patterson  said  "there 
will  be  changes  in  policies  and 
procedures"  concerning  con- 
ference investments.  "We  will 
be  much  wiser  in  the  future 
but  this  was  expensive  tui- 
tion." He  added  that  there 
was  a  good  change  of  "solid 
recovery  of  funds  from  Daven- 
port, in  significant  amounts." 

Despite  the  anticipated  re- 
covery, "some  people  in  Geor- 
gia-Cumberland Conference 
will  be  disciplined,"  Patterson 
said.  He  refused,  however  to 
get  specific  on  names.  The 
General  Conference  has  asked 
us  to  hold  the  release  of  our 
report  (on  the  Davenport  af- 
fair) until  they  release  theirs, 
which  I  think  is  reasonable." 

The  controversy  at  Ooltewah 
church  was  also  brought  up. 
"The  situation  at  Ooltewah  is 
not  easy  to  deal  with,"  Patter- 
son said.  "The  church  has 
become  very  polarized.  One 
group    of    people    said    they 


would  withhold  their  tithe 
until  the  pastor  at  Ooltewah 
was  removed.  "When  the 
other  faction  at  Ooltewah 
heard  of  this,  they  threatened 
to  withhold  their  tithe  if  the 
pastor  was  removed.  What 
was  I  supposed  to  do,"  Patter- 
son asked,  "ask  each  side  how 
much  tithe  they  paid  then  base 
ray  decision  on  those  totals? 

"It  has  gotten  to  the  point," 
Patterson  said,  "where  we 
have  denied  our  gifts  and 
made  them  purchases.  When 


people  manipulate  the  tithe, 
they  have  ceased  tithing. 

"The  more  church  members 
pressure  the  administration 
(of  the  conference)  the  longer 
it  takes  to  deal  with  the 
problem.  The  church  is  not 
able  to  achieve  in  a  single 
bond  all  the  needs...  Some- 
times things  take  a  little  bit  of 

"The  church  members  need" 
to  operate  within  the  proper 
bounds  of  church  government. 
Economic  pressure  is  not  one 
of  them. 


Black      History 
Week      begins 


Southern  College  and  the 
Afro-American  Club  are  spon- 
soring Black  History  Week 
from  February  7-12.  The  na- 
tion-wide celebration  was  set 
aside  by  the  U.S.  Congress  in 
1929  to  emphasize  black  his- 
tory and  culture,  according  to 
Everett  Schlisner,  Dean  of 
Students. 

The  first  program  of  this 
week  will  be  presented  on 
Tuesday  by  Dr.  Frank  Knittel. 
Wednesday  prayer  meeting 
will  be  presented  by  Vernaurd 
Mendinghall,  youth  director  of 
the    South    Atlantic    Confer- 


ence. Elder  Ralph  Peay,  youth 
director  of  the  Southern  Union 
will  present  a  program  at 
chapel  on  Thursday.  Melvyn 
Hayden  will  speak  for  both 
Friday  vespers  and  the  Sab- 
bath Services. 

Black  History  Week  is  a 
relatively  new  event  at  South- 
ern College.  No  blacks  were 
allowed  until  1964  when  the 
Civil  Rights  Act  guaranteed 
equal  rights  for  everyone.  The 
first  black  to  attend  SMC  was 
a  village  student  in  1965,  ac- 
cording to  Schlisner.  Today, 
black  enrollment  is  about  100..

2/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/  February  3,  1983 


SA  on  the  rocks 


This  is  the  season  for  SA  elections.  Campaign  posters  have 

started  appearing  everywhere,  each  asking  the  voters  to  vote 

in  a  particular  way.  This  year,  however,  things  are  different. 

The  posters  are  being  put  up,  butrthe  quantity  is  smaller. 

Why?  The  reason  is  simple.  This  year  10  people  are  running 

for  the  7  SA  offices. 
It  appears  that  the  old  enemy  of  a  good  Student  Association 

is  rearing  its  ugly  head  again.  Apathy  seems  to  have  taken 
over  the  student  body,  draining  any  energy  to  participate  in 
the  very  SA  that  will  help  shape  the  future  of  next  year  at 
Southern  College.  And  the  trend  seems  to  be  getting  worse. 
A  few  years  ago,  four  and  five  candidates  ran  for  many 
offices.  Last  year,  the  average  was  two,  with  three  people 
running  unopposed.  Now  this  year,  the  average  is  below  1.5 
with  Jive  people  running  unopposed. 

Where  will  it  all  end?  Will  the  administration  finally  do 
away  with  the  Student  Association  as  some  colleges  have? 
Or  will  the  SA  just  be  a  figurehead  government,  with  little 
power  and  even  less  support? 

The  choice  is  ours.  We  can  sit  around  and  watch  our 
student  organizations  go  down  the  tubes,  or  we  can  stand  up 
on  our  feet  and  take  some  action.  Get  out  and  make  logical 
decisions  on  the  candidates  for  all  7  offices  and  let  the  SA  - 
know  you  support  them  by  participating  in  SA  functions  and 
SA  government.   United  we  stand.   Apart,  we  fall.

Dear  Editor, 

Superbowl  XVII  has  come 
and  gone  and  the  Deadskin 
fans  have  proven  that  they  not 
only  have  the  number  one 
team,  but  they  are  the  most 
obnoxious  fans  around.  But 
they  have  a  good  reason  to  be. 
It's  not  often  they  have  much 
to  cheer  about.  Let's  see, 
when  was  the  last  time  this 
bunch  was  in  the  playoffs? 
Could  it  be  1976  was  the  last 
time  this  group  of  fools,  I 
mean  fans,  had  anything  to 
cheer  about.  Seven  long  years 
stores    up    an    awful    lot    of 


obnoxiousness,  and  boy  has  it 
been  running  rampant.  All 
I've  heard  since  Jan.  23  is 
"how  'bout  them  skins",  and 
"what  happened  to  them  Cow- 
boys." What  kind  of  ques- 
tion is  that  (what  kind  of 
English  is  that).  I  guess  the 
Deadskin  fans  didn't  realize 
that  even  though  the  Cowboys 
didn't  make  it  to  the  Super- 
bowl,  they  have  made  it  to  the 
playoffs  16  out  of  the  last  17 
years  and  have  been  in  the 
Superbowl  5  times.  How 
many  years  have  the  Dead- 
skins  been  in  the  playoffs  that 


last  17  years,  f0r  that 

how  many  teams  have  been  in 
the  playoffs  16  out  of  the  a 
17  years.  Also,  how  raany 
times'  have  the  Deadskins 
been  in  the  Superbowl.  N 
wonder  the  Deadskin  fail° 
hate  the  Cowboy  fans.  Thev 
are  jealous.  I  think  I  would 
hate  a  team  that  has  domi- 
nated my  team  for  years  too. 

Sincerely,

Dear  Editor: 

I  just  returned  from  the  final 
performance  of  the  Southern 
Players'  "Shenandoah."  I 
would  like  to  pass  on  my 
thanks  to  everyone  involved  in 
producing  what  I  think  was  the 
best  production  of  its  kind 
presented  on  this  campus. 

As  I  sat  in  the  audience,  my 
mind  ran  through  all  the 
different  jobs  that  someone 
had  in  making  the  show  a 
success.  As  a  Communication 
major,  I'm  probably  biased 
towards  the  PR  staffs  excel- 
lent media  and  advertising 
coverage.  The  set  on  stage 
was  expertly  constructed  and 


moved  during  the  perform- 
ance. Thanks  to  the  sound 
crew,  and  a  new  microphone 
system,  I  heard  every  word 
that  was  spoken.  The  cos- 
tumes, makeup,  and  lighting 
were  realistic  and  tastefully 
managed. 

Providing  the  needed 
continuity,  the  talented  group 
of  musicians,  both  instrumen- 
tal and  vocal,  performed  in 
perfect  style. 

Obviously,  the  outcome  of 
any  show  depends  largely  on 
the  quality  of  the  actors.  All 
you  actors  and  actresses  in 
this  show  did  a  superb,  pro- 


fessional job.  The  chore- 
ography was  amazing  and  the 
emotions  were  genuine. 

Finally,  the  show  could  not 
have  happened  without  the 
guidance  of  the  director,  Miss 
Laurie  Loga.  She  deserves 
every  bit  of  the  standing 
ovation  she  got. 

If  there  is  someone  I  missed, 
it's  only  because  you  did  your 
job  so  well,  that  I  didn't  notice 


j  the 


Hats  off  to  each  of  you  who 
helped  make  my  evening  a 
fantastic  experience! 

Sincerely, 
Jon  Larrabee

"Success    in    failure 


ft 


I  by  Dick  Bird 

is  possible  to  succeed  in 
failure,"  said  former  Miss 
Africa  Marilyn  Van  Derbur 
I  as  sne  addressed  the  Southern 
I  College  student  body  last 
I  Thursday  morning  in  the 
I  physical  Education  Cenier. 

An  audience  of  over  1,000 
I  listened  intently  as  Miss  Van 
I  Derbur,  the  recipient  of  the 
I  1980  Speakers  Hall  of  Fame 
|  Award  spoke  on  the  topic, 
"Success  and  Failure." 
,  Miss  Van  Debur  began  her 

■  presentation  by  reviewing  the 
llives  of  three  political  figures 

■  who  had  suffered   numerous 


defeats  and  failures.  Accord- 
ing to  Van  Derbur,  it  was  the 
desire  and  (he  persistence  of 
those  men  that  turned  their 
failures  into  success. 

Miss  Van  Derbur's  career 
was  catapulted  by  her  victory 
in  the  1958  Miss  America 
Pageani.  After  spending  one 
year  [raveling  throughout  the 
United  States  and  abroad,  she 
reiurned  to  the  University  of 
Colorado,  where  she  earned  a 
Bachelor  of  Arts  degree  in 
Liierature.

appeared  as  guest  commenta- 
tor .  in  past  Miss  America 
telecasts. 

The  wife  of  a  prominent 
attorney,  and  the  mother  of  an 
11  year  old  daughter.  Miss 
Van  Derbur  currently  resides 
in  Denver,  Colorado. 

Unlike  many  of  her  con- 
temporaries, Van  Derbur  has 
been  successful  at  maintain- 
ing that  trim  figure  which 
helped  her  win  the  title  some 
25  years  ago.  How  does  she 
do  it?  "It  takes  a  lot  of 
self-discipline, ' '  said  the  love- 


ly Miss  Van  Derbur.  "It 
means  turning  down  a  sweet 
roll  or  ice  cream— I  watch 
what  I  eat,  and  try  to  get 
plenty  of  exercise." 

During  an  interview  with  the 
Southern  Accent,  Van  Derbur 
announced  the  completion  of 
30  one-minute  television  spots 
that  will  be  shown  in  Atlanta, 
Fort  Wayne,  Indiana  and 
Denver,  Colorado. 

The  spots  will  be  aired  as 
part  of  the  featured  program, 
and  will  be  a  cut-down  version 
of  the  talks  Miss  Van  Debur 
gives  on  the  topic  of  motiva- 


tion. They  will  be  a  "thought 
for  the  day",  as  she  puts  it. 
Van  Debur  had  presented  a 
sample  of  the  television  spots 
to  ABC's  "Good  Morning 
America",  but  was  turned 
down.  Yet,  she  believes  fhat 
through  hard  work,  sweat  and 
some   tears,    her  dream   will 

Marilyn  Van  Derbur's  life  is 
a  testimony  of  what  the  Amer- 
ican dream  and  the  Christian 
life  are  all  about.  It  is  working 
and  sharing,  loving  and  caring 
. . .  and  giving  the  best  you  can 
give.

iThe  musical,  Shenandoah,

was  involved  with  a  few 
important  scenes.  A  few 
members  of  the  Symphony 
Orchestra,  twenty-three  to  be 
exact,  helped  out  tremendous- 
ly with  the  music  portion  of 
the  play. 
Many  members  of  the  audi- 
ence commented  that  "it  was 
a  very  moving  play."  Mrs. 
Gustin,  Dean  of  Women,  re- 
marked, "It  was  the  best

here  at  the  college."

Stand-by!  Quiet  on  the  set! 
Scene  6,  take  3  —  Roll  Tape  — 
Action!!  These  well  known 
phrases-may  seem  like  some- 
thing a  Hollywood  Director 
might  say  but  they  were  put 
into  practice  recently  by  a 
small  group  of  students  from 
Southern  College. 
The  film  entitled  "Beyond 
the  Horizon"  is  a  World  War 
II  story  about  a  young  soldier 
and  his  first  day  on  the  front 
line,  as  he  helps  his  patrol 
track  down  an  enemy  sniper. 
The  film,  which  was  directed 
and  produced  by  Michael 
Hadley,  a  junior  History  and 
Communications  major,  is 
only  15  minutes  in  length,  yet 
it  cost  over  $1,300  and  over 
1,000  hours  was  spent  plan- 
ning, writting,  shooting  and 
editing  during  a  span  of  four 
months.  The  major  of  the 
crew  and  all  of  the  cost  was 
provided  for  by  SC  students 
The  main  character  of  the 
film,  Marco  Lazine,  was  por- 


trayed by  Frank  Roman,  a 
senior  Communications  major. 
"Frank  did  a  terrific  job, 
despite  the  complications  we 
ran  into  on  the  set"  stated 
Hadley. 

"We're  still  in  the  final  stages 
of  editing,  but  the  majority  of 
the  work  is  done.  I'm  just 
pleased  with  everybody 
connected  with  the  film,  espe- 
cially Mr.  Larry  Otto.  He 
composed  and  recorded  an 
original  soundtrack  just  for  the 
film,  and  that  in  itself  took  a 
lot  of  effort.  The  film, 
entirely  shot  in  Columbia, 
South  Carolina,  took  four  days 
and  over  17  people  to  com- 
plete." The  Communications 
Department  paid  for  the  use  of 
the  school  van.  The  film  was 
entered  in  the  National  Stu- 
dent Academy  Awards,  the 
Jewish  B'nia  B'rith  Founda- 
tion Awards,  and  the  Birming- 
ham International  Film 
Awards.

Writing        a      resume 


College  graduates  are  faced 
today  with  a  shrinking  job 
market  and  keen  competition 
for  what  jobs  are  available. 
They  soon  discover  that  it  is  of 
extreme  importance  to  be  able 
to  sell  themselves  in  a  positive 
way  to  prospective  employers 
in  order  to  have  access  to  what 
jobs  there  are. 

One  of  the  ways  an  applicant 
sells  himself  to  a  prospective 
employer  is  through  the  re- 
sume. The  resume  is  simply  a 
vehicle  that  provides  the  em- 
ployer with  many  types  of 
information  about  the  appli- 
cant. Its  function  is  to  provide 
the  employer  with  a  concise 
summary  of  personal  attri- 
butes, educational  back- 
ground, and  qualifications  a 
person  has  for  a  particular  job. 


The  i 


should 


brief  but   sufficient  informa- 
tion which  will  help  a  prospec- 
tive employer  to  know: 
Who  you  are. 
What  you  can  do. 
What  you  have  done. 
What  your  present  status  is. 
What  kind  of  job  you  would 
like. 
What  your  goals  and  objec- 

What  your  special  assets  and 

attributes  are. 

There  is  no  single  prescribed 
resume  format.  If  there  were, 
everyone  would  appear  stereo- 
typed. And  this  is  what  you 
want  to  avoid.     You  want  to 


come  across  as  an  individual 
with  unique  qualities.  Rem- 
member,  each  resume  has 
only  30  seconds  to  make  its 
impression  on  the  reader.  Be 
creative  but  be  yourself. 
There  are  basically  two  types 
of  resume  -.Chronological-  (the 
style  most  applicable  for  new 
graduates)  listing  the  most 
recent  work  experience  first 
followed  by  all  other  experi- 
ence first  followed  by  all  other 
experience  listed  in  strict  re- 
verse chronological  order;  and 
Functional-  focusing  on  the 
kind  of  work  wanted  and 
identifying  strengths,  skills 
and  accomplishments  which 
qualify  a  person  for  that  work. 
Whereas  the  format  chosen 
is  personal  preference,  there 
are  general  rules  that  should 
be  followed.  The  resume 
should  be  neat,  easy  to  read, 
and  free  of  spelling  and  gram- 
matical errors.  Use  margins 
and  titles,  logically  arranged, 
to  guide  the  reader.  Develop 
separate  sections  on  educa- 
tion, work  experience,  person- 
al data,  and  goals  in  such  a 
i  enable  the  reader- 
probably  skimming

Your  re 


should  be: 
Typed  and  spaced  properly 
on  8  1/2  x  11  inch  size  white 
paper. 

Limited  to  one  or  two  naees 


in  length. 

Brief  and  to  the  point, 
incorporating  phrases,  rather 
than  prose  and  complete  sen- 
Complete,  containing  all  in- 
formation relevant  to  your 
education,  work  experience 
and  career  objectives. 

Written  in  a  way  to  reflect 
your  perceptions  and  abilities. 
Your  personality  may  be  as

describe  experience,  i.e.:  initi- 
ated, created,  developed,  su- 
pervised, managed,  instruc- 
ted, counseled. ..etc. 

Other  things  to  remember  are: 
Don't  include  a  photo.  You 
risk  failing  the  reader's  per- 
sonal standards  of  beauty. 

Don'1  include  reasons  for

Don't  tell  me— Jill  has  a  ring

PASTOR:  Everything  that  we 
wear  is  a  statement  about 
ourselves.  It  tells  those 
around  us  how  we  feel  about 
ourselves  and  a  nose  ring  tells 
me  that  you  are  not  too  happy 
with  yourself,  and  that  maybe 
you  want  some  attention.

STUDENT  ASSOCIATION  CAR 


O 


President 


Glenn  McElroy,  sophomore  Business/Pre-Law  major,  is  the 
only  candidate  for  Student  Association  President  and  is 
"looking  forward  to  next  year,  to  a  new  beginning." 

Thoroughly  aware  of  the  problems  and  changes  he  will  be 
facing  as  SA  president,  Glenn  held  a  question  and  answer 
session  for  student  leaders  in  the  cafeteria  on  Sunday, 
January  30.  At  the  meeting  he  announced  many  of  his 
objectives  for  the  1983-84  school  year.  '  'My  number  one  goal 
is  to  see  a  more  positive  relationship  between  students  and 
faculty."  Other  plans  he  cited  were:  1)  to  check  into  the 
possibility  of  extending  the  front  porch  of  Thatcher  Hall;  2)  to 
try  to  raise  the  additional  necessary  funds  to  renovate  the 
Campus  Kitchen;  3)  to  work  to  get  a  co-ed  TV  room  in  the 
Student  Center;  4)  to  try  to  get  co-ed  telephones  in  the 
Student  Center;  5)  to  plan  more  inter-collegiate  activities. 

Having  been  SA  President  at  Bass  Memorial  Academy  his 
junior  year,  class  president  his  senior  year,  member  of 
Senate,  PR  Director  for  several  campus  organizations  in 
addition  to  a  string  of  other  offices  and  accomplishments 
Glenn  is  not  a  beginner,  although  his  theme  is  "a  new 
beginning."  He  comments,  "Attitudes  are  changing  on 
campus  and  there  is  an  air  of  working  together  now  to  get  rid 
of  some  of  this  criticism.  We,  as  students,  are  tired  of  it— the 
Southern  College  put  down.  I  know  next  year  will  be  one  of 
the  best  year  s  w-'— 


O 


As  a  candidate  for  the  office  of  Student  Association  Vice 
President,  Cary  Gregory  likes  to  get  involved.  "I  think  the 
main  job  of  the  Vice  President  is  to  relate  to  the  students  and 
get  more  student  involvement.  Yet,  it  is  hard  to  get  student 
involvement.  So,  I  believe  the  only  way  to  get  that 
involvement  is  to  be  involved  yourself." 

Since  Cary,  who  is  a  Physical  Education  major  from  Indiana, 
is  Student  Service  Director  this  year,  he  feels  that  this 
office,  along  with  being  on  the  Senate,  has  helped  him  to 
know  better  the  organization  of  the  SA  and  Senate,  how  they 
function,  and  where  improvements  can  be  made.  With 
reference  to  Ski  Day  and  the  upcoming  banquet  at  the 
Peachtree,  Cary  stated,  "I  would  like  to  continue  seeing  such 
things  that  involve  getting  off  campus.  As  Vice  President, 
I'd  like  to  assure  that  some  of  the  programs  that  were  started 
this  year  will  keep  going  and  see  that  new  programs  are 
brought  about." 

Describing  himself  as  innovative,  Cary  maintains  that  the 
main  reason  he  is  running  for  vice  president  is  "to  promote 
student  involvement  and  see  that  the  whole  program  runs 
smoothly  and  efficiently." 


Student  Service 


Running  for  Student  Services  Director  is  John  Seaman,  a 
sophomoreTheologymajorthat  feels  that  he  has  "some  good 
ideas  that  can  strengthen  Student  Services.  I  don't  want  to 
delineate  or  do  away  with  current  programs  that  Student 
Services  has.  I'm  in  favor  of  revising  and  updating  what  we 
already  have." 

John  believes  that  he  can  do  this  in  various  ways. 
Improving  the  quality  fo  cartoons  that  are  shown  in  the 
cafeteria  on  Fridays  is  one  way.  "I  plan  to  be  more  selective 
in  the  choice  of  cartoons,"  he  explains.  Better  communica- 
tion to  the  village  students  is  a  goal  of  John's,  when  there  is 
nothing  happening  at  SC  on  Saturday  nights,  he  would  like  to 
provide  students  with  a  van  to  different  places  in 
Chattanooga.  He  would  also  like  to  have  transportation  to 
the  many  "approved"  functions  at  Memorial  Auditorium  and 
UTC.  Another  idea  that  John  has  is  to  "see  several  trips 
made  into  Atlanta  on  the  weekends.  It  could  be  an  all-day 
'-_  8'  Unt!'  evenmg  and  could  coincide  with  a  baseball  game 
nething.  It  doesn't  have  to  be  one  specific  purpose.  If

John,  who  has  been  the  Advertising  Manager  for 
Southern    Accent    the    last    two    years,    believes    in    a 

one-to-one"  communication.      "I  think  that  if  just  one 
person  comes  in  with  a  suggestion,  we  should  look  into  it." 


February  3, 1983/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/7 


IATES 

Vice-President 


Vice  Presidental  Candidate  Ken  Rozell's  goal  it  "to  put  the 
students  in  the  SA.  Something  that  the  SA  touches  your  life 
every  day,  whether  it's  the  Joker,  theNumerique,  the  Accent 
or  a  party  or  banquet.  A  good  SA  will  keep  all  these  inputs 
balanced. 

Ken,  who  is  editor  of  the  Southern  Accent  this  year, 
"wants  to  keep  aware."  Another  one  of  Ken's  goals  is  to 
make  the  Senate  more  responsive  to  the  students  and  their 
needs.  As  chairman  of  the  Senate,  he  would  have  the 
senators  send  out  newsletters,  take  polls,  and  hold  meetings 
for  their  constituents.  He  feels  that  the  Senate  could  be  a 
better  source  of  student  input,  and  Ken  states  that  he'd  "like 
to  work  closely  with  the  Student  Services  and  Social 
Activities  Directors  to  make  and  keep  the  banquets 
interesting." 

Since  Vice  President  is  also  Chairman  of  the  Publications 
Committee,  Ken  believes  his  experience  as  editor  will  help 
him  in  working  with  the  incoming  editors. 

Ken  stresses,  "If  I'm  going  to  be  the  Vice  President,  I  really 
want  to  serve.  I  want  to  keep  the  program  running  smoothly 
so  the  students  can  get  the  maximum  from  this  year." 


"I'm  running  for  the  office  where  I  can  do  the  most  good  for 
the  most  people,"  states  JT  Shim,  candidate  for  vice 
president. 

Althought  this  is  his  third  attempt  at  the  vice  presidency, 
the  junior  Compute  Science  major  is  not  discouraged. 
"Failure  didn't  deter  Abraham  Lincoln,  and  it  won't  deter 
me,"  he  reminds.   "I've  studied  the  office  closely  and  know 
what  goes  into  it,  what  is  expected  of  it." 

With  a  numerous  list  of  accomplishments  and  qualifications 
that  include  Associate  Editor  of  the  Joker,  Editor  of  the 
Numerique,  member  of  the  Senate  Committee  on  Senate 
Projects,  JT  believes  that  planning  is  an  essential  part  of 
good  leadership.  "I  plan  to  have  more  SA  forums  to  hear 
about  what  students  think  and  let  them  know  what  the  SA  is 
doing.  I'd  like  to  obtain  more  color  cartoons  that  you  can 
enjoy." 

"I  believe  that  every  chief  executive  officer  needs  a  good 
man  he  can  delegate  jobs  too,"  JT  declares.  JT  wants  to  be 
that  man. 


Southern  Accent  Editor 

Running  unopposed  for  Southern  Accent  Editor  is  Maureen 
Mayden,  a  Speech  Communications  major.  "Being  editor  is 
something  that  I  have  always  wanted  to  do,  and  now  that  I 
have  been  assistant  editor  for  awhile,  I  think  that  it  s 
something  I  would  really  enjoy,"  explains  the  candidate. 

A  native  Floridian  displaced  to  Virginia  three  years  ago, 
Maureen  was  a  reporter  on  the  newspaper  her  sophomore 
year  was  lay-out  editor  for  first  semester  of  this  year,  and  is 
assistant  editor  now.  Besides  her  work  on  the  paper, 
Maureen  has  been  busy  this  year  as  president  of  Sigma 
Theta  Chi  (the  Girl's  Club)  and  as  a  liaison  for  the  student 
chapter  of  IABC  (International  Association  of  Business 
Communicators). 

"There  are  not  a  whole  lot  of  changes  that  I  want  to  make, 
unless  I  feel  that  they  need  to  be  made"  However,  she 
would  like  to  add  more  features.  "I  trunk  that  the  paper 
needs  to  be  informative  and  tell  the  students  what  is 
happening  on  campus,  but  it  also  needs  to  be  humorous  and 
entertaining.  The  paper  should  be  something  that  they  want 
to  save,  not  just  read  and  then  throw  away."

Southern  Memories  Editor 


i  /J 


"I  want  to  do  as  good  of  a  job  as  possible,"  declares 
Stafford  Barzey,  candidate  for  Memories  Editor.  Although 
he  considers  himself  a  shy,  quiet  fellow,  Stafford  wants  to 
use  his  knowledge  of  photography  and  graphics  to  create  a 
"memorable"  annual. 

A  freshman  Compute  Science  major  from  New  York  City, 
Stafford  was  a  photographer  on  the  Memories  staff  this  year, 
and,  according  to  Editor  Bridget  Knox,  was  her  "right  hand 
man— never  failing  to  come  up  with  some  fresh,  bright  ideas 
for  pictures  or  lay-out." 

"I  enjoy  photography,  and  as  editor  of  Memories,  I  will 
simply  do  my  best,"  promises  Stafford. 


Memories  Editor  candidate,  Malinda  McKee,  wishes  "to 
incorporate  new  ideas"  into  the  annual  for  next  year. 

With  two  years  of  experience  on  her  academy  yeatbook,  and 
as  SA  Public  Relations  Director  this  year,  in  addition  to 
numerous  other  offices  held,  Malinda  wants  to  do  all  she  can 
"to  insure  that  every  individual  is  included,  to  organize  a 
dedicated  staff  based  on  their  ability  and  interest,  and  keep 
an  open  line  of  communication." 

McKee,  a  junior  Biology  major  from  Collegedale,  has 
always  enjoyed  the  Southern  Memories,  and  is  anxious  to 
become  involved  with  the  yearbook  for  next  year.  She 
considers  herself  to  have  much  organizational  experience 
and  hopes  to  put  that  to  work  on  the  Southern  Memories  of 
1983-84.

Beech  h  os 

by  Brent  Van  Arsdell 

The  Student  Association 
sponsored  an  all  day  ski  trip 
on  Tuesday  to  Ski  Beech  resort 
on  Beech  Mountain  in  North 
Carolina.  The  ski  day  official- 
ly started  for  the  skiers  with  a 
check  in  from  3:30-4:00  am  in 
front  of  Wight  Hall.  Check  in 
was  necessary  for  students  to 
get  their  classes  excused  and 
to  make  sure  that  everyone 
had  paid.  Approximately  two 
hundred  students  went  on  the 
trip. 

The  skiiers  started  as  soon  as 
possible  after  getting  lift,  and 
if  necessary,  rental  passes 
from  Alvin  Franklin  and 
Cynthia  Patterson.  Those  who 
used  rental  equipment  really 
liked  it.  The  boots  were 
comfortable,  the  bindings 
were  step  in  type,  and  all  the 
equipment  was  in  excellent 
condition. 

Unfortunately  the  sking 
conditions  were  not  as  good  as 
the  equipment.  The  weather 
and  the  slopes  started  out  less 
than  perfect  and  got  worse 
'ater  in  the  day.  The  snow 
base  was  about  fifteen  inches 
™  dirt  with  1-5  inches  of 
packed  icy  snow  covering  most 
of  the  runs.  There  were 
m°guls  in  some  areas  and  in 
others  there  was  grass  and 
5"d  showing.     By  afternoon

Day 


the  temperature  had  risen  to 
well  above  freezing  and  the 
remaining  snow  was  more  icy 
and  harder  to  ski  on.  By  4pm 
■ie  low  hanging  clouds  had 
lowered  further  to  become  a 
thick  fog  that  restricted  visi- 
bility in  places  to  30  feet.  In 
spite  of  the  conditions  most 
students  were  glad  they  went. 
Scott  Learned,  Junior  Biology 


major,  summed  up  most  stu- 
dents feelings  when  he  said, 
"These  are  the  worst  condi- 
tions I  have  ever  skied  in,  but 
I'm  glad  I  cam  anywayl" 
Mike  Palsgrove,  Sophomore

PRESIDENT  REAGAN  IS 
willing  to  meet  with  Soviet 
leader  Yuri  Andropov  to  sign 
an  agreement  "banning  US 
and  Soviet  intermediate 
range,  land-based  nuclear 
missile  weapons  from  the  face 
of  the  earth."  In  the  past,  the 
Soviets  have  repeatedly  re- 
jected this  proposal  known  as 
the  "zero-option"  plan,  in 
favor  of  their  own  scheme. 
Their  plan  calls  for  a  72% 
reduction  in  Soviet  intermed- 
iate missiles  to  match  British 
and  French  arsenals  in  return 
for  a  US  decision  to  scrap 
deployment  plans  for  572 
intermediate  missiles  in 
Europe  this  fall. 


AN  INDEPENDENT  TRUCK- 
ers  strike  erupted  in  violence 
Monday,  leaving  at  least  one 
dead  and  many  others  injured 
George  Capps,  33,  was  killed 
by  a  rifle  shot  near  Newton 
Grove,  N.C.  while  driving  his 
ng  along  US  701.  The  strike, 
which  began  Monday,  is  a 
protest  against  high  fuel  taxes" 
and  user  fees. 


PRESIDENT  REAGAN'S 

1984  budget  proposal,  calling 
for  a  10  percent  increase  in 
defense  spending  and  freezes 
and  cuts  in  domestic  pro- 
grams, has  put  him  at  logger  j 
heads  with  House  Majority 
Leader  "Tip"  O'Neill.  At  a 
White  House  briefing,  O'Neill 
talked  very  forcefully  to  the 
president  about  getting  people 
back  to  work,  while  Reagan 
cited  "dramatic  improve- 
ments" he  has  made  in  the 
economy  which  he  believes  ! 
will  eventually  help  end  the 
unemployment  problem. 

PAUL  "Bear"  Bryant,  the 
winningest  coach  in  all  of 
football,  died  of  a  heart  attack 
last  week.  The  69  year  old 
Bryant  had  just  retired  as 
Alabama's  head  coach  after 
winning  323  games  and  five 
national  championships  dur- 
ing his  38  year  career-  Ray 
Perkins,  who  has  assumed 
Bryant's  job  at  Alabama,  said 
he  was  "shocked"  at  the  j 
death  of  Bryant  who  was 
always  a  fatherly  image"  to  |

A  valley 
valentine 


Happy  Val  Day!  Like,  I'm  shurrr  you're  really  into  this  love 
business.  Like,  totally!  I  just  love  Val  Day.  Like,  I  can  get 
into  those  big  heart-shaped  boxes  of  candy  anytime,  ferr 
shurrr! 

Like  the  other  day,  I  was  with  all  my  val  friends  down  at  SC, 
and  I  saw  this  big  hairy  dude  and  he  was  like  all  over  this 
really  sweet  val,  and  she  didn't  even  mind!  Like,  grody  to 
the  max!!  I  mean,  like,  totally!  I  was  ready  to  gag,  but  my 
spoon  wasn't  in  my  val  bag,  so  like  I  just  turned  and  looked 
the  other  way. 

But,  like,  I'm  shurr  she  really  loves  him,  and  she'll  probably 
get  one  of  those  boxes  for  Val  Dav.  I  mean  like,  with 
chocolate-covered  cherries,  cocanuts,  nougat,  and  creme 
candies  or  something,  you  know?  I'm  sooo  shurr!  I  think  I 
would  just  die  if  I  got  one.  I  mean,  can  you  imagine  one  of 
those  boxes  of  candy  all  for  yourself?  Like  gag  me  with  a 
spoon!  I  would  have  (o  if  late  all  that  by  myself.  But,  like, 
I'm  shurr  my  val  friends  would  be  willing  to  go  off  their  diets 
and  help  me.   Ferr  shurrr! 

Like,  you  know,  I  was  buying  this  really  val  card  for  my  fave 
dude  the  other  day,  and  like  one  of  my  fave  val  friends  came 
over  and  was  telling  me  all  about  her  plans  for  Val  Day,  but 
like,  she  doesn't  want  anyone  to  know,  'cause  she  wants  it 
to  be  special  for  her  boyfriend,  you  know,  and  she  was  like  all 
excited  about  this  special  day  for  the  two  of  them,  and  you 
know,  like,  I  was  really  glad  for  her. 

But,  like,  this  other  val  friend  was  going  to  spend  Val  Day 
with  her  sister  and  they  were  going  lo  have  a  really  val  party 
at  her  sister's,  like  you  know,  a  real  val  time.  I  mean  like 
totally!  And,  like,  1  was  all  excited  for  her,  too,  you  know? 

'Cause,  like,  you  know,  real  val  girls  can  have  fun  anywhere, 

'cause  like  they  can  adapt,  you  know. 

I  mean,  like,  Val  Day  is  for  everyone,  you  know,  like,  you 
don't  have  to  send  a  special  val  card  to  just  a  special  dude 
you  know.  Lmean,  like,  just  a  good  friend  deserves  a  val  card 
on  Val  Day.    Like,  ferr  shurr!  w».

Dear  Editor, 
What  isthe  world  coming  to? 
The  Dallas  Cowboys  go  into 
the  last  two  games  of  the 
season  playing  for  homefield 
advantage  and  get  their  tails 
whipped  first  by  a  bunch  of 
has-beens  (the  Eagles)  on  the 
Cowboys'  homefield  and  then 
in  Minnesota  by  a  team  (the 
Vikings)  whose  entire  point 
total  was  equaled  by  a  single 
Jets  defensive  back  the  week 
before  and  whose  three 
best  players  were  out  with 
injuries.  Once  in  the  playoffs, 
they  pull  out  wins  over  the 
Bucs  and  the  Packers  in  the 
waning  moments  only  to  get 
stomped  on  by  the  Hogs  in  the 
NFC  Championship  game. 
How  can  this  be?  It  seems 
like  only  yesterday  when  the 
Cowboys  were  winning  their 
division  (the  NFC  East)  with 
east.  Of  course,  it  usually 
didn't  do  them  a  lot  of  good 
because  out  of  their  16  times 
in  the  playoffs  they  only  made 
it  to  the  Super  Bowl  five  times 

Dear  Editor, 
In  response  to  Royce  J. 
Earp's  letter  in  the  February  3 
Southern  Accent.  Royce,  you 
say  that  the  Redskin  fans  are 
obnoxious,  but  what  could 
possibly  be  more  obnoxious 
than  a  Cowboy  fan  whose 
team  has  lost! 

Sincerely, 

Katie  Lamb, 

Native  Texan,  but  NEVER  a 

Cowboy  fan! 


and  only  managed  to  win  there 
twice.  - 
The  reason  for  this,  and  for 
the  Cowboys'  present  troub- 
les, is  quite  simple.  Since  the 
demise  of  the  old  NY  Giants  in 
the  mid-sixties,  the  Cowboys 
have  rarely  had  another  team 
<  of  championship  caliber  within 
their  own  division  to  compete 
with.  Sure  the  Giants,  Red 
Skins,  and  Cardinals  each  had 
a  run  at  them  in  the  early 
seventies,  but  that  was  all.  So 
Dallas  would  either  blow  a 
team  away  early  and  then 
intimidate  them  or,  if  a  club 
actually  played  a  good  game 
against  them,  the  Cowboys 
would  just  sit  on  their  thumbs 
until  the  fourth  quarter,  score 
a  few  TD's  and  pull  it  out. 
Ho-hum.  Trouble  was  that  in 
the  playoffs,  they  had  to 
compete  with  teams  like  the 
Packers,  Vikings,  Rams,  Colts 
and  Steelers.  Unfortunately 
for  Dallas,  those  teams  didn't 
lie  over  and  play  dead  quite  so 


Now  things  are  even  getting 
tough  on  Dallas  in  its  own 
division.  The  Giants  and 
Cardinals  as  well  as  the  Red 
Skins  are  playoff  contenders 
and  are  setting  their  sights  on 
the  Cowboys.  That  means  at 
least  six  games  a  year  against 
top-ranked  NFL  teams.  Looks 
like  Dallas  is  finally  going  to 
have  to  work  for  a  living!!! 

Actually  though,  I  really 
don't  dislike  the  Cowboys  at 
all.  In  fact,  I've  a  healthy 
respect  for  a  team  that  can 
win  so  consistently  with  a 
minimum  amount  of  effort. 
It's  the  attitude  of  some  of 
their  fans  that  irks  me.  I'm 
speaking  of  those  who  act  like 
their  team  is  America's  team 
and  the  rest  of  the  NFL 
doesn't  exist.  Well  those 
people  are  eating  crow  now 
and  they'd  better  get  used  to  it 
because  they  may  have  a 
steady  diet  of  it  during  the 
next  few  years. 

Sincerely. 
Bill  Both 


February  10,  1983/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/3 


Speeches      kick 


by  Page  Weemes 

Alvin  Franklin,  Student 
Association  President,  called 
the  elections  chapel  to  order 
February  3,  1983. 

The  first  of  the  candidates  to 
make  a  speech  was  Don 
Welch,  who  is  running  for 
Mereditor.  Welch  began  his 
speech  by  reminding  the  stu- 
dents what  a  good  Joker  editor 
Jon  Larrabee  had  been,  but 
that  he,  himself,  would  even 
be  better.  Some  of  Welch's 
goals  are:  an  error-free  Joker, 
to  put  it  out  in  record  time, 
and  to  have  every  student's 
and  faculty's   picture   in   the 

Running  for  the  office  of 
Student  Services  is  John  Sea- 
man. Seaman  claimed  that  he 
would  maintain  the  cookie 
breaks,  Friday  cartoons,  and 
town  trips.  Also,  he  wants  to 
establish  some  new  programs. 

Candidate  for  Accent  editor 
is  Maureen  Mayden.  Mayden 
stated  that  she  wanted  a  paper 
that  students  would  be  more 
interested  in.  More  features 
and  humor  are  goals  that 
Mayden  hopes  to  accomplish. 

Peggy  Brandenberg  is  the 
candidate  running  for  Social 
Activities.  To  involve  stu- 
dents more  by  polls  and  to 
possibly  add  a  "Spring  Fling" 
(similar  to  the  Fall  Festival)  to 
the  calender  of  events,  are 
some  goals  Brandenberg 
spoke  of. 

The  fifth  candidate  to  speak 
WM  Stafford  Barzey.  He 
declared  that  he  would  do  his 
Dest  as  the  Memories  editor, 
■■d      make       next       year's 

Memories"  memorable.

Pastor  Gordon  Bielz 


£ary  Gregory  is  one  of  the 
fee  "ndidates  running  for 


Vice-President.  He  told  the 
students  that  some  of  the  new 
programs  he  wanted  to  estab- 
lish were;  a  television  in  the 
Student  Center,  shopping 
trips  to  Atlanta  and  Knoxville, 
and  more  privileges  for  resi- 
dents of  Thatcher  Hall. 

Ken  Rozell,  also  candidate 
for  Vice-President,  stated, 
"My  goal  is  to  put  YOU  into 
the  Student  Association." 
Rozell  is  concerned  that  the 
Senate  be  more  responsive  to 
the  student's  needs.  To  do 
this,  Rozell  suggested  hall 
meetings,  newsletters,  opin- 
ion polls,  and  surveys  be 
started. 

"Every    President    needs    a 


hard-working,  dependable 
man  who  knows  people  and 
systems,  behind  him,  and  that 
man  is  me,"  claimed  J.T. 
Shim,  candidate  for  Vice  Pre- 
sident. He  also  claimed  he 
was  the  man  for  1983 

Speaking  last  was  Glenn 
McEIroy,  candidate  for  Pres- 
ident. A  "new  beginning" 
and  a  positive  outlook  for  the 
year  is  McElroy's  goal. 
McEIroy  told  students  that  the 
school  can't  have  a  beginning 
unless  the  enthusiasm  come 

After  the  speeches,  Alvin 
Franklin  opened  the  floor  for 
discussion  and  got  no 
response. 


In  Fenton  Forest  was  a  little  seed 
That  to  the  rain  gave  little  heed. 
Down  in  the  ground  he  gave  grumble  and  groan. 
Complaining  of  the  dark  and  of  the  big  stone. 
1  he  stone,  you  see,  was  over  his  head, 
And  he  thought,  "What  a  dumb  flower  bed 
To  have  a  stone  where  I  could  be 
Where  I  could  rise  up  and  be  free." 
He  just  wasn't  going  to  do  his  thing, 
Too  much  against  him  for  this  Spring. 
And  so  in  the  dark  he  lay  so  quiet, 
He  wouldn't  respond  even  to  the  riot 
Of  water  that  about  him  fell 
Tickling  his  shell  and  washing  him  well 
When  the  sun  shone  so  high  and  so  warm 
He  just  pulled  in  tighter  within  his  dorm. 
"Too  many  troubles,"  was  his  reply,      " 
'  'Look  at  that  rock  on  'op  of  my  lie 
Way  too  heavy  for  me  to  lift! 
Why  I  couldn't  even  make  a  rift 
In  the  soil  above  my  depressing  lie 
I'd  just  rather  turn  over  ai.d  die." 
And  so  the  seed  with  all  its  potential, 
Just  complained  while  the  rains  were  torrential. 
Somehow  a  message  to  the  seed  must  be  taken 
Of  the  joys  of  the  sun,  if  he  would  just  awaken. 
The  message  was  carried  by  one  special  seed. 
He  was  an  outstanding  one,  unique  to  his  breed. 
He  came  to  the  seed  still  in  the  ground. 
He  told  him  of  the  new  life  he'd  found. 
The  message  was  sent  loud  and  clear, 
"Bloom  where  you're  planted,  there's  nothing  to  fear." 
"Bloom  where  I'm  planted,"  the  seed  contemplated. 
Is  it  really  true  that  for  this  I  have  waited." 
A  little  water  of  life  he  timidly  accepted, 
On  what  it  did  inside  him,  he  reflected, 
Was  hard  to  explain  in  any  natural  way. 
It  seemed  like  only  attitudes  were  passing  away. 
"Not  so  bad,"  to  himself  he  did  muse. 
"I'll  take  some  more,  got  nothing  to  lose." 
As  soon  as  he  did  his  shell  began  breaking, 
His  whole  seed  body  was  now  really  shaking. 
Suddenly  with  an  explosion  of  power, 
He  felt  himself  shoot  up  like  a  tower. 
The  boulder  he  once  had  on  his  head, 
Rolled  to  the  side  of  the  flower  bed. 
The  sun  broke  full  in  his  opening  face, 
He  felt  he  belonged  to  the  flower  race. 
He  breathlessly  viewed  other  beautiful  flowers 
Ones  that  like  him  had  risen  like  towers. 
With  a  cry  of  delight  his  voice  echoed  loud, 
"Bloom  where  you're  planted — don't  be  so  proud!" 
So  by  our  story  you  can  easily  tell, 
The  point  of  the  rhyme  is  to  stay  out  of  hell. 
Appreciate  the  light  and  warmth  you  find. 
Don't  allow  the  rocks  to  occupy  your  mind. 
Live  like  Paul  who  rested  content, 
Whether  in  prison,  or  under  his  tent. 
Remember  Joseph  who  in  bad  times  and  good 
Trusted  in  God  who  understood. 
Don't  let  your  vision  by  others  be  slanted, 
Be  content  in  God,  and  BLOOM  WHERE  YOU'RE  PLANTED!

To  Steve, 

Valentines  day  comes 
around  once  a  year.  To  give 
us  a  chance  to  show  those 
we  love  how  much  they 
mean  and  how  much  we 
care.  To  me  you  are  special 
and  sent  from  above.  You 
are  thought  of  Everyday  not 
just  today.

To  my  wish  up  on  Falling

Taking  out  a  classified  ad 
is  so  much  like  being  like 
everyone  else.  And  you 
know  me,  it's  hard  enough 
just  being  myself;  and  how 
could  I  tell  you  in  a  classi- 
fied ad  in  here  how  you 
mean  to  me  without  have  it 
sound  weird.  So— why 
don't  you  meet  me  on 
Valentines  day  in  Daniell's 
Hall  at  the  10:00  break.  I'll 
give  you  a  letter  then  only 
for  you,  cause  if  I  put  it  in 
here,  Everyone  will  read  it 

Love  your  terrible  poet  but

tried.

I  shall  proceed

by  Kelly  Pettijohn 


As  basketball  season  enters 
the  final  stretch  at  SC,  pre- 
season predictions  have  long 
since  been  abandoned  as 
many  surprises  have 

developed. 

In  AA  action,  after  a  very 
slow  start,  Koliadko  has  put  it 
together  to  fashion  a  four- 
game  winning  streak.  This 
has  pulled  him  up  to  a 
respectable  4-4  standing. 
O'Brien  has  also  been  some- 
what of  a  surprise  as  he  holds 
a  tie  for  first  with  a  5-3  mark. 
Vogel,  the  only  team  not  a 
surprise  has  a  5-3  record  to 
share  the  lead  with  O'Brien. 
Bovell  and  Botimer  have  not 
lived  up  to  their  prediction  as 
both  share  the  cellar  with  a  3-5 
record. 

Saturday  night,  Jan.  29 
Koliadko  edged  out  Bovell  by 
a  68-65  margin.  Koliadko  led 
all  scorers  with  23  and  Eric 
Mock  threw  in  17  in  the  losing 
effort.  After  a  2-0  start, 
Bofimer's  team  has  met  hard 
luck.  Sunday  morning  the 
30th,  Vogel  narrowly  escaped 
defeat  at  the  hands  of  Bot  imer 
as  they  came  from  behind  in 


the  closing  seconds  to  wrap  up 
a  1  point  victory,  69-68.  Vogel 
and  Ron  Bunch  continued 
their  dominance  of  the  offen- 
sive end  by  tossing  in  18 
apiece,  while  Botimer  scored 
23  for  the  losers.  Monday 
night  Bovell  and  O'Brien 
squared  off  with  Bovell 
emerging  the  victor.  Eric 
Mock  shot  an  electrifying  13- 
18  from  the  floor  to  lead  the 
winners  with  26  while  O'Brien 
tossed  in  28  in  the  losing 
effort.  On  Wednesday  night 
Vogel  and  Koliadko  met  for 
what  appeared  an  easy  win  for 
Vogel  as  they  held  sole  pos- 
session of  first  place.  But  this 
was  not  to  be  as  Koliadko 
came  away  with  a  convincing 
72-59  decision.  While  Vogel 
couldn't  get  any  help  from  his 
team  offensively,  Koliadko 
didn't  need  any  as  he  scored 
an  awesome  36  points  includ- 
ing two  3-pointers.  Thursday 
night  Bovell  and  Botimer  met 
with  Botimer's  team  finally 
getting  on  track  to  post  a  75-68 
victory.  Greg  Carlson  came 
alive  to  score  20  for  Botimer 
with  Bob  Mountain  adding  16. 
Sunday    night,    Feb.    6,    the 


battle  for  first  place  between 
Koliadko  and  O'Brien  took 
place  with  O'Brien  emerging 
the  victor.  Koliadko  couldn't 
seem  to  get  things  going  on 
offense  with  the  services  of 
top  pick  Evan  Easley  missed. 
Daryl  Hevener  led  the  losers 
with  16  while  Colt  Peyton 
scored  19  for  the  winners. 
With  just  one  week  to  go  in 
AA,  only  two  games  separate 
first  place  from  last  place. 
The  outcome  of  the  league  is 
still  up  for  grabs  as  Vogel, 
O'Brien  and  Koliadko  still 
have  a  shot  at  the  champion- 
In  A  league  action,  Manzella, 
Hobbs,  Tunnell  and  Cain  each 
have  one  defeat  to  keep  them 
in  the  chase  for  the  league 
championship.     The  big  sur- 


prise in  A  league  would  have 
to  be  Greenlee's  performance, 
or  should  1  say  lack  of 
performance. 

The  B  league  race  never 
materialized  as  Duff  has  taken 
control  retaining  the  only  un- 
defeated status  in  the  intra- 
mural leagues.  Their  last 
performance  was  a  sixty  point 
trouncing  of  Hadley  aided  by 
the  40  point  effort  of  Duff. 

In   the   Women's    league, 
McQuistan     and     Laurencell 
share  the  lead  with  one  defeat 
apiece.  Both  teams  have  fairly 
good  depth. 

Balloting  for  the  annual  Rees 
Series  has  started  as  the  guys 
from  all  three  leagues  are 
selecting  the  top  six  stars  in 
their  respective  classes.  The 
Rees   Series   is    SC's    annual 


Hallib-urt  on 
presente  d 


--„-.:  concerning  the 
life  of  Richard  Halliburton, 
native  Tennessean  and  world 
traveller,  was  presented  on 
campus  last  Saturday  evening 
in  the  PE  Center. 
Halliburton  attended 

Lawrenceville   and   Princeton 

Stales  herC    '"    'he    Un'ted 
From   the   age   of  nineteen 

until  he  was  lost   at   sea   in 

1939,  he  enjoyed  writing  and 

wrote  many  books 
One  of  the  most  dauntless 


travelers  of  the  century,  he 
climbed  the  Matterhorn, 
swam  the  Hellespont,  crossed 
the  Alps  on  an  elephant, 
climbed  Fujiyama,  and  sailed 
a  junk  out  of  Hong  Kong... 
never  to  be  heard  from  again. 
William  Stockdale  took  us  to 
the  Matterhorn,  the  most 
spectacular  and  defiant  of  the 
Alps,  also  to  Fujiyama— so 
perfect  a  mountain  that  the 
Japanese  believed  it  to  be  an 
"embodied  goddess."'  He 
took  us  to  the  crest  of  Gibral- 


class  tournament  held  at  the 
end  of  basketball  season.  This 
year's,  to  be  held  the  nights  of 
February  17  and  19,  promises 
to  be  as  good  as  ever.  No  class 
appears  to  have  a  real  edge 
although  the  Seniors  would 
have  to  be  considered  the 
favorites  as  they  vie  for  their 
fourth  consecutive  title.  This 
would  make  them  the  first 
class  to  ever  win  four  years  in 
a  row.  the  Senior's  are  lead 
by  David  Botimer  and  John 
O'Brien,  while  the  Sopho- 
mores, certainly  another 
contender  will  be  lead  by  the 
trio  of  Robert  Bovell,  Danny 
Koliadko  and  Steve  Vogel. 
The  Rees  Series  is  the  high- 
light of  Basketball  season  so 
everyone  come  on  out  and 
cheer  their  class  on  to  victory!

Qoutkm  ftynfo 


Alas,  it's  here  again.  That 
famous  day  of  half-naked  little 
men  (no,  I  don't  mean  one  of 
Talge's  notorious  toga  par- 
lies), broken  hearts  and 
spilled  sentiments  has  arrived 


Nu 


never  fully  understood.  To 
begin  with,  what  is  there  to 
celebraie?  Two  poor  guys  get 
beheaded  and  people  start 
using  their  last  name  as  a 
synonym  for  love. 
This  really  doesn't  make  a 
whole  lot  of  sense.  I  mean,  if 
ihe  president  or  vice-president 
were  shot  tomorrow,  would 
you  ask  a  future  spouse  to  be 


your  Reagan?   Or  your  Bush? 

d  venture  to  say  if  anyone 
did,  chances  are  that  person 
would  be  the  next  one  to  have 
his  name  immortalized. 

And  look  at  the  symbols 
associated  with  Valentine's 
Day.  Back  to  our  martyrs. 
Since  they  were  decapitated, 
and  people  seem  so  bent  on 
remembering  them  it  only 
seems  natural  that  lace- 
trimmed  little  heads  should  be 
the  proper  tokens  of  ex- 
change. But  no-inslead, 
everything  is  heart-shaped. 
Now  here  is  a  real  idiosyn- 
cracy.  It's  not  only  stupid,  it's 
impractical.  I  know  of  only  one 


Laurie  Loga 


basic  way  to  draw  a  heart .  But 
think  how  much  more  personal 
a  head-shaped  valentine 
would  be.  You  could  make  it 
as  large  or  as  small  as  was 
necessary  to  characterize  the 
recipient,  and  as  round,  ob- 
long or  egg-shaped  as  you 
liked.  Even  a  block  design 
wouldn't  be  out  of  place.  I  can 
think  of  several  people  I'd  like 
to  send  one  of  Ihe  latter  to 
One  of  our  customs  with 
every  holiday  is  to  associate  a 
famous  personage,  usually  a 
saint,  with  that  dav.  St.  Nick, 
St.  Patrick,  St.  Turkey-all 
have  their  rightful  place  on  Ihe 
calendar.  And  on  February  14. 


St.  Valentine  should  technical- 
ly be  ihe  one  adorning  Ihe 
cards  and  candy  boxes.  Bui 
again,  someone  goofed.  All 
we  do  is  use  the  poor  guy's 
name. For  a  person  represent- 
ative of  holiday  we  display  a 
rosy-cheeked  toddler  who, 
clothed  only  in  a  droopy 
Pamper,  lears  around  on  a 
gossamer  wings  and  plays 
William  Tell.  Instead  of  being 
horrified,  people  compliment 
the  little  monster  ou  his 
marksmanship  and  actually 
Ihink  he's  cute.  In  fact,  he's 
become  almost  a  permanent 
fixlure  in  Thatcher  Hall. 
Obviously  Ihe  day  has  some' 


real  problems.  I  personally 
Ihink  il  should  be  eliminated. 
Possible  il  could  be  replaced 
wilh  a  historically  significant 
day  like  one  where  everybody 
slaved  home  from  the  movies 
for  Ihe  entire  day.  Si.  Schlis- 
ner  would  be  honored,  and  we 
could  still  use  a  little  guy  with 
the  bow  and  arrow.  Actually, 
that  would  be  quite  fitting.  I 
think  the  Pamper  would  pro- 
bably have  to  go,  though. 
In  the  meanlime,  please 
don't  feel  like  a  total  idiot  for 
celebrating  something  you 
don't  even  understand.  At 
least  you'll  liven  up  Ihe  month 
for  a  little  while.

PRESIDENT  REAGAN  WILL 
not  seek  re-election  if  the 
economy  fails  to  recover  from 
the  current  recession  by  1984. 
When  asked  whether  he  would 
use  the  condition  of  the  econ- 
omy in  1984  as  a  guide, 
Reagan  replied,  "Yess, 
Obviously,  that  would  be  a 
sign."  The  President,  how-

about  chances  for  a  recovery

Christian  radio  station  later 
received  a  call  claiming  that 
the  right-wing  Front  for  the 
Liberation  of  Lebanon  from 
Foreigners  was  responsible 
for  the  bombing.  Although 
police  doubt  the  call  was 
legitimate,  the  bombed  build-

Ihe  PLO  and  authorities 
suspect  the  bombing  is  in 
retaliation  for  Libyan  leader

aboard  Ihe  lead  tank  and  told 
the  Israeli  lieutenat-colonel

The  reasons  for  wanting  a 
change  fell  into  two  distinct 
groups.  One  group  compris- 
ing about  one-fourth  of  the 
respondents,  wanted  a  return 
to  the  former  Southern  Mis- 
sionary College.  This  group 
felt  proud  of  the  original  name 
and  believed  that  a  change 
would  bring  back  the  religious 
connotations  so  often  omitted 
with  the  current  name. 
The  other  group,  comprising 
about  one-half  of  the  sample 
wanted  a  change  because  they 
found  the  name  either  too 
long,  unimaginative,  common 
and  confusing  or  a  potential 


deterrent 


employment     either 


among         students         were 
Southern  College  and  South- 
ern  College   of  Tennessee. 
Graduates  showed  preference 
to  a  more  religious  name  with 
one-fourth  writing  in  Southern 
Missionary  College  and  about 
one-half  choosing  names  with 
the  word  "Adventist"  includ- 
ed.  One-fourth  or  graduates 
did  choose  the  non-religious 
Southern  College. 
Romero    recommended    the 
name    Richards    College    be- 
cause "Richards  College  (was) 
the  only  type  of  name   that 
provides  a  suitable  solution  to 
the  major  problems"  of  being 
too  religious  or  too  common. 
"Richards  College  represents 
an  unfamiliar  group  compro-

New  hospital  proposed 


Adventist  Health  Systems/ 
Sunbelt  is  planning  construct- 
ion of  a  12.7  million-dollar 
acute-care  hospital  on  Apison 
Pike  in  Collegedale.  Accord- 
ing to  Don  Welch,  president  of 
AHS/Sunbelt,  an  application 
for  construction  of  the  pro- 
posed 76-bed  facility  has  been 
filed  with  the  Tennessee 
Health  Facilities  Commission 
in  Nashville. 

"We  have  always  wanted  a 
hospital  near  Southern  Col- 
lege," Welch  told  the  South- 
ern Accent.  "In  the  past,  this 
wasn't  feasible  but  the  area  is 
growing." 

The  application  to  the  Health 
Facilities  Commission  cited 
significant  growth  in  target 
population  within  the  next  ten 
years  as  justification  for  a 
Collegedale-based  facility. 
The  application  stated  that 
most  people  within  the  target 
area  of  Ooltewah,  College- 
dale,  McDonald,  Apison, 
Ringgold,  Ryal  Springs,! 
Summit       and       surrounding 


reach  a  hospital 
in  less  than  twenty  or  thirty 
minutes. 

Assuming  that  the  state  com- 
mission approved  the  hospital 
application,  construction  is  ex- 
pected to  begin  immediately. 
Welch,  however,  emphasized 
that  the  opening  of  the  hos- 
pital is  a  ways  off. 
The  hospital  will  be  divided 
into  28  private  and  48  semi- 
private    rooms    and    will    be 
affiliated  with  Southern  Col- 
lege's Division  of  Nusing  and 
other  paramedical  program. 
Features  of  the  hospital  will 
include  a  complete  emergency 
room,  a  surgical  suite  with  two 
fully      equipped      operating 
rooms     and     a     cystoscopic 
operating  room  and  a  six-bed 
intensive  care/coronary  unit. 
Also  proposed   are   complete 
physical  and  respiratory  ther- 
apy facilities,  laboratory  and 
pharmacy,    electrodiagnostics 
and  a  provision  for  community      m 
health   education   and    social 


2/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/February  17,  1983 


Just  ordinary  people 

For  most  of  my  life,  I  have  held  the  church  and  its  officials  in 
awe.  I  heard  stories  throughout  grade  school  and  academy  of 
the  wonderful  ways  God  leads  church  officials.  I  almost  got 
the  feeling  that  if  someone  was  a  church  official,  they  had 
been  appointed  by  God — through  a  committee,  of  course  to 
lead  the  church  and  its  members  down  the  straight  and 
narrow  right  through  the  pearly  gates. 

It  seemed  that  church  publications  drove  that  point  home  in 
a  very  vivid  manner.  The  Review  and  Herald  gave  all  those 
exciting  reports  from  the  field  about  this  pastor  doing  this 
great  thing  and  that  administrator  accomplishing  some 
exciting  feat.  The  "official  church  organ"  never  seemed  to 
report  anything  bad  so  therefore,  I  assumed,  everything  was 
fantastic.  My  opinions  of  church  officials  soared  higher  and 
higher. 

But  there  is  an  old  law  of  natural  science  that  what  goes  up 
must  come  down.  Several  years  ago,  the  first  whiffs  of  the 
Davenport  scandal  started  to  surface.  When  I  first  started 
reading  some  of  the  scandal  sheets,  I  laughed.  They  made 
interesting  reading,  but  I  assumed  some  poor  sould  had  an 
axe  to  grind  so  I  put  those  thoughts  out  of  my  mind.  Then 
more  reputable  publications  uncolvered  evidence  concerning 
the  Davenport  investment.  The  faint  smells  became 
stronger.  The  house  of  cards  fell  when  Davenport  went 
bankrupt  about  a  year  ago. 

This  incident  had  a  profound  effect  on  many  church, 
members,  including  myself.  We  began  to  realize  that  the 
church  officials  were  not  infallible.  They  could  be  rude, 
corrupt,  incompetent  and  inefficient,  among  other  things. 
Finally,  with  the  change  of  editor  at  the  Adventist  Review, 
the  church  started  coming  down  to  earth.  Church  officials 
begin  to  admit  that  problems  existed  in  the  church.  They 
started  facing  the  issues  and  letting  church  members  know 
what  was  happening. 

Today,  church  members  can  realize  that  church  administra- 
tors are  not  perfect — they  are  ordinary  people  who  can  make 
mistakes.  But  they  are  doing  their  best  to  lead  the  church  in 
these  troubled  times.

Dear  Editor, 

The  Black  History  Week 
Celebration  was  a  success! 
Last  week  February  7-12,  was 
the  best  week  ever  sponsored 
by  the  Beta  Kappa  Tau  club. 
Beta  Kappa  Tau  is  the  club 
that  incorporates  the  Black 
population  on  campus  and 
every  year  they  plan  the 
activities  that  will  take  place 
during  the  second  week  of 
February. 

Beta  Kappa  Tau  invited 
dynamic  speakers  and 
exceptional  musicians  to  visit 
the  campus.  The  week  pro- 
ceeded with  speakers  such  as: 
Dr.  Knittel,  Elder  Vernard 
Mendinghall  and  Elder  Ralph 
Peay,  and  the  music  was 
rendered  by  Chris  Hawkins, 


Still  Small  Voice  (sextet),  and 
Findlez  Watson.  This  is  just 
the  apetizer. 

On  Friday  night  the  message 
was  delivered  by  Elder 
Melvyn  Hayden  from  Wash- 
ington DC  who  preached 
about  the  "Sparrow  People." 
Special  music  was  given  by 
the  Ebenezer  SDA  Choir  from 
Philadelphia,  PA  who  arrived, 
in  spite  of  the  dangers  met  in 
Virginia,  because  of  inclimate 
weather. 

Dessert  was  served  all  day 
Sabbath  in  the  form  of  Elder 
Hayden  who  spoke  again,  but 
this  time  he  spoke  about 
"Loneliness."  The  Oakwood 
Aeolians  rendered  music  for 
Sabbath  Service  and  they  were 
featured  in  sacred  concert 
during  meditations  Sabbath 
afternoon. 

Beta  Kappa  Tau  did  an 
excellent  job  with  church 
services  and  dorm  worships 
under  the  direction  of  their 
president,  Elissa  M.  Austin 
and  sponsor,  Dr.  Lorenzo 
Grant.  Ms.  Austin,  Dr.  Grant 
and  all  of  the  students  and 
faculty  who  worked  with  them, 
need  to  be  commended  on  a 
job  well  done.  Keep  up  the 
good  work! 

Sincerely.

by  Dick  Bird 

The  13th  annual  Rees  Series 
basketball  tournament  begin: 
tonight  at  7:00  in  the  Physical 
Education  Center. 

The  series  is  a  tradition  at 
Southern  College  that  began 
in  1971  through  the  efforts  of 
Men's  Club  President  Don 
Pate  and  Dean  Lyle  Botimer. 
According  to  Botimer,  "We 
wanted  to  make  it  (the  tourn- 
ament) a  spiritual  emphasis, 
not  just  a  sporting  event." 
The  Rees  Series  has  since 
become  one  of  the  most  popu- 
lar events  of  the  school  year. 

It  was  named  after  Dr.  C.  N. 
Rees,  who  served  as  college 
president  from  1958  through 
1967.  An  avid  sports  enthusi- 
ast, it  was  fitting  that  Rees  be 
honored  in  that  way,  for  he 
had  done  much  for  the  devel- 
opment of  the  sports  program 
at  SC. 


The  original  tournament 
format  consisted  of  a  best-of- 
three  game  series  between  the 
dorm  and  the  village.  This 
was  made  possible  due  to  a 
large  enrollment  of  village 
students,  and  proved  to  be 
quite  a  rivalry,  as  each  team 
won  three  times.  Then  in 
1977,  the  series  format  was 
changed  to  a  contest  between 
classes. 

Until  Rees'  death  in  1976,  he 
attended  many  of  the  games, 
though  he  was  paralyzed  from 
a  stroke.  He  was  always 
accompanied  by  his  wife  Fae, 
who  served  as  Associate  Dean 
of  Women,  and  was  greatly 
loved  by  those  associated  with 
the  college. 

Tonight  the  Freshmen  meet 
the  tournament-favorite 

Seniors  who  will  be  trying  to 
win  an  unprecedented  fourth 


straight  title.  The  Sopho- 
mores meet  the  Juniors  in  the 
second  game. 

The  tournament  will  con- 
clude on  Saturday  night  at  7 
pm  with  a  consolation  game 
between  tonight's  losers, 
followed  by  the  championship 
game  at  9. 

Following  the  games,  the 
coaches  -and  officials  will 
select  an  "All  Tournament 
Team"  in  addition  to  the 
"Most  Valuable  Player"  of 
the  tournament.  The  champ- 
ions will  be  presented  the 
Rees  Series  trophy. 

The  Seniors,  coached  by 
Matt  Nafie,  will  be  led  by  last 
year's  MVP  David  Botimer 
and  jumping  John  O'Brien, 
who  were  first  and  third  in 
scoring  during  the  regular 
season.  Mickey  Abbott,  Bruce 
Coston,    Al    Franklin,    Daryl 


Hevener,  Eric  Mock  and  Kelly 
Pettijohn  round  out  the  Senior 
contingent. 

The  Juniors,  considered  by 
some  to  be  the  darkhorse  of 
the  tourney  will  be  led  by  their 
6-9  captain  Bob  Mountain  and 
veteran  Evan  Easley.  Al  Cain, 
Greg  Carlson,  Greg  Culpep- 
per, Lowell  Ferguson,  Tim 
Jennings,  and  Pat  Williams 
make  up  the  remainder  of  the 
squad.  Steve  Jaecks  will 
coach  the  Juniors. 

The  Sophomores,  led  by  the 
trio  of  Rob  Bovell,  Dan  Koli- 
adko  and  Steve  Vogel  will  rely 
on  speed  and  outside  shoot- 
ing. Though  they  lack  the  size 
of  some  of  their  opponents, 
they  have  a  scrappy  team  and 
could  make  up  for  it  with 
aggressiveness.  Steve 

Decker,  Steve  Flynn,  Bruce 
Gibbon,     Mike    Gentry    and 


Barry  Manzella  round  out  the 
Sophomore  squad.  They  will 
be  coached  by  Ted  Evans. 

The  Freshmen  lack  experi- 
ence, and  will  rely  on  the 
efforts  of  Colt  Peyton,  Al 
Pearson,  Wes  White  and 
Steve  Carlson.  It  will  take  a 
near  flawless  effort  for  their 
squad  to  reach  the  finals.  The 
remainder  of  Coach  Michael 
Meriweather's  team  are 
Carlos  Colon,  Dave  Ferguson, 
Clint  Parrish,  and  Randy 
Thursdee. 

The  action  will  start  at  7  pm, 
with  Southern's  finest  basket- 
ball players  on  display.  The 
opening  tip,  the  cheers  of  the 
fans,  and  (he  sounds  of  the 
whistle  are  only  moments 
away.. .it's  tournament  time!

Aeolians     sing 


by  Leanne  Facundus 

The  Aeolians,  the  62-mem- 
ber  touring  choir  of  Oakwood 
College,  presented  an  after- 
noon concert  of  Negro  spirit- 
uals at  Southern  College  on 
Saturday,  February  12.  Invit- 
ed by  Beta  Kappy  Tau,-  the 
Afro-American  Student's  Club 
of  SC,  the  choir  sang  for  SC's 
Black  History  Week. 

Singing  before  a  full  church 
and  wearing  their  dashakis 
(one  of  the  traditional  dresses 
of  African  countries)  '  'to 
represent  the  black  spirit,"  as 
Mrs.  Julia  Phillips,  the  choir's 
business  manager,  put  it,  the 
Aeolians  illustrated  four  types 
os  spirituals  throughout  the 
program.  Spirituals  such  as, 
"Once  I'm  in  His  Cafe," 
"Ezekial  Saw  the  Wheel," 
and  "Way  Over  in  Beulah 
Land,"  were  sung  in  the  a 
cappella  program  given  in 
order  to  get  the  true  feeling  of 
the  music,  according  to  Mrs. 
Phillips. 

During  the  program,  Mrs. 
Alma  Blackman,  the  director 
for  the  past  nine  years,   told 


the  story  of  how  she  had  had 
cancer  for  the  second  time  in 
1972,  yet  the  Lord  had  made 
"all  things  work  together  for 
good"  and  had  healed  her  so 
that  she  might  direct  at  Oak- 
wood.  Afterwards,  Melvyn 
Hayden,  who  was  on  the 
platform  as  the  guest  speaker 
for  the  morning  church  serv- 
ices when  the  choir  sang, 
remarked,  "Because  God  has 
given  this  woman  an  exquisite 
talent,  she  shares  it  with  the 

In  the  years  that  Mrs.  Black- 
man  has  been  at  Oakwood,  the 
choir  has  toured  all  50  states,

The  Aeolians  were  asked  to 
sing  several  encores,  and 
affected  the  audience  in  such  a 
way  that  one  SC  student 
stated,  "I  haven't"  heard  such 
loud  "aniens"  come  out  of 
this  crowd  in  a  long  time." 


Winter  slowly  wearing  itself  out  (occasional  days  of  brilliant 
sunshine  and  zephyr  breezes  remind  us  that  Spring  is 
virtually  just  around  the  corner); 

All  the  trappings  surrounding  Valentine's  Day:  hearts  and 
flowers,  candy  (expensive  and  cheap),  rows  of  Valentines  in 
the  card  shops— most  of  them  are  purchased  and  delivered, 
banquets,  parties,  clever  notices  and  gushing  messages  in 
the  papers,  lots  of  red  everything,  and,  sometimes,  even 

Numerous  birthdays  of  great  and  near-great  individuals— 
both  past  and  present — with  many  raucous  versions  of 
"Happy  Birthday"  ringing  through  the  halls  enhancing(?) 
the  class  periods; 

Bright  new  license  plates  showing  up  on  cars  from  Georgia 
(green  numerals  and  letters  on  white  background)  and 
Tennessee  (blue  letters  and  numerals  and  green  state  names 
on  white  background)  replacing,  at  last,  what  we've  had  for 
the  last  six  or  seven  years; 

Basketball  approaching  its  frenzied  climax — it  takes  a  sports 
and  mathematical  genius  to  keep  track  of  the  standings, 
play-offs,  leagues,  schedules,  and  other  intricate  details; 

Students  experiencing   rude   intellectual   awakenings   (ap-

4/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/February  17,  1983 


Bird-watchers        head        to 


O Florida 

Come  Thursday  morning, 
Feb.  24,  the  Ornithology  class 
will  depart  from  Collegedale 
and  begin  a  trek  of  over  2,600 
miles  through  Georgia  and 
Florida.  The  purpose  of  the 
trip  is  to  observe  as  many 
species  of  birds  in  their  natur- 
al habitat  or  wintering  range 
as  possible. 

Beyond  that  an  attempt  will 
be  made  to  study  ecological, 
geographical  and  behavioral 
aspects  which  affect  the 
distribution  of  birds.  Florida 
is  unique  in  this  respect  in  that 
is  provides  hundreds  of  miles 
of  shoreline  along  the  Atlantic 
coast  as  well  as  the  Gulf 
coast— not  to  mention  the 
amazing  and  intricate  network 
of  water-ways,  sluggish 
rivers,  keys  and  islands,  estu- 
aries and  bays  that  seem  to 
encircle  the  entire  state. 
To  do  so,  the  class  will  visit 
such  exotic-sounding  places  as 
the  Loxahatchee  Wildlife 
Refuge,  where  they  expect  to 
spot  the  Snail  (Everglade) 
Kite,       Fulvous       Whistling

Ducks,  Smooth-billed  Anis 
and  warblers  beginning  their 
north  ward  migration;  Cork- 
screw Swamp  Sanctuary, 
where  thousands  of  Wood 
Storks  generally  nest,  such 
birds  as  the  Barred  Owl, 
Swallow-tailed  Kite,  Little 
Blue  Heron,  White  Ibis  and 
numerous  birds  native  to 
cypress  swamps;  and  Sanibel 
Island,  famous  for  its  Sea 
Shells,  where  they  will  ob- 
serve Osprey,  Roseate  Spoon- 
bills, Reddish  Egrets  and 
Man-O-War  Birds. 
Of  course,  the  Everglades 
National  Park  will  be  thor- 
oughly covered — here  birds 
such  as  Anhingas.  wintering 
ducks,  escaped  Scarlet  Ibis, 
White-crowned  Pigeons  and 
numerous  hawks  seem  to  be 
quite  tame  and  easily  observ- 
ed. State  Parks  and  Manage- 
ment Areas  will  also  be  visit- 
ed. These  will  include 
Myakka  River  State  Park, 
Cecil  M.  Webb  Management 
Area,  Pine  Island  and  Long- 
noat  Key. 


The  group  will  be  camping 
some  of  the  time,  staying  in 
private  homes  and  bunking  in 
the  dorms  at  Forest  Lake 
Academy.  Committees  are  in 
charge  of  food,  setting  up 
camp,  packing  the  trailer  and 
taking  care  of  telescopes  and 
camera  equipment. 

E.O.  Grundset,  the  instructor 
and  fearless  leader,  will  be 
accompanied  by  Dave 
Mathewson,  Jr.,  lab  assistant 
and  native  Floridian  natural- 
ist, and  Dr.  Ron  Carter,  who  is 
getting  an  introduction  to 
shore  birds  in  preparation  for 
research  he  will  be  doing  this 
summer  on  the  Olympia 
Peninsula      in      Washington 

All  in  all,  when  the  class 
returns  on  March  6,  they  hope 
to  have  sighted  over  170 
species  of  birds,  become 
acquainted  with  a  great  deal  of 
seldom-seen  natural  areas  of 
Florida  and  surely  prove  that 
birds  have  class. ...It's 
Ornithology! 


ISRAELI  DEFENSE  MINIS- 
ter  Ariel  Sharon  resigned 
under  pressure  from  the  Begin 
government  Sunday.  Sharon, 
however,  remains  on  the  cabi- 
net as  an  at  large  member, 
prompting  sharp  opposition 
criticism  in  the  Knesset  and  a 
continuation  of  the  confronta- 
tions between  pro  and  anti 
Sharon  demonstrators  which 
has  already  left  one  dead.  The 
resignation  was  the  result  of 
an  investigative  commission's 
findings  that  Sharon  was 
personally  responsible  for  the 
massacre  of  Palestinian  civil- 
ians by  Christian  militiamen  in 
Beirut  last  September.

THE  WORST  SNOWSTORM 

in  40  years  hit  the  Northeast 
Friday,  dropping  two  to  three 
feet  of  snow  from  North 
Carolina  to  New  England.  The 
death  toll  includes  33  crew 
members  of  a  coal  ship  lost  in 
rough  seas  off  Virginia.  The 
"Blizzard  of '83'  "  also  closed 
many  business  and  stranded

Pastor  Gordon  Bieh; 


February  17,  1983/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/5 


I  sit  at  my  typewriter  to  think 
a  spiritual  thought  for  the 
Directions  column,  and  then  I 
think,  ''spiritual  thought?" 
That  is  ridiculous."  What  is 
"spiritual?"  We  have  divided 
life  into  neat  categories. 
"Well,  now  I  am  going  to  do 
something  spiritual.  I  will 
pray  or  go  to  church."-  The 
trap  that  we  have  avoided  in 
the  area  of  dividing  man  into 
body  and  soul  when  it  comes 
to  the  doctrine  of  the  state  of 
man  in  death,  we  have  fallen 
into  in  our  daily  lives.  If  we 
believe  in  man  as  a  whole 
person,  then  that  concept 
must  be  true  for  what  happens 
tomanwhenhediesasitis  for 


how  we  live. 

Separating  our  lives  into  neat 
categories  of  "spiritual  and 
non-spiritual"  or  "secular  and 
sacred"  results  in  a  kind  of 
schizophrenic  existence.  The 
result  is  that  church  attend- 
ance has  little  to  do  with  real 
life  and  real  life  has  little  to  do 
with  church  attendance. 

Such  a  dicotomous  separation 
of  life  is  contrary  to  scripture 
and  it  is  contrary  to  how  we 
experience  reality.  AH  I  do  in 
life  needs  to  be  a  reflection  of 
who  I  am  in  relation  to  God, 
whether  sitting  in  church  or 
playing  basketball. 

That  is  not  to  say  that  all 
activity  is  appropriate  for  a 


sacred  day,  but  it  is  to  say  that 
if  a  chameleon  change  needs 
to  occur  one  day  a  week,  then 
what  happens  on  the  one  day 
is  not  much  affecting  your  life. 
Once  upon  a  time  in  Fenton 
Forest  some  strange  behavior 
developed  on  the  part  of 
Freddy  the  fox.  Freddy  was  a 
popular  fellow  with  many  of 
the  forest  animals  and  was 
generally  the  life  of  any  party 
he  attended.  You  might  say 
he  was  foxy.  All  week  long 
Freddy  would  be  his  normal 
self.  He  would  chase  turkeys 
or  chickens,  dig  for  mice  and 
generally  be  himself. 

But  a  strange  transformation

Never,  never  be  guilty  of 
disqualifying  your  prospect. 
Let  him  do  that  himself,  and 
underestimate  your 
prospect's  buying  power. 

One  hot  summer  day  a  lead 
card  took  me  into  the  foothills 
of  the  Shenandoah  Valley. 
After  two  unsuccessful  at- 
tempts, I  finally  found  the 
right  dirt  road  that  led  me  all 
the  way  up  the  side  of  a 
mountain.  The  road  came  to 
:nd,  and  I  parked  the  car 
and  started  walking.  After 
climbing  over  and  through 
three  fences,  at  last  I  was  near 
the  house.  I  made  my  way 
over  and  around  trash,  broken 
furniture,  old  car  parts,  and 
rubble  till  I  got  to  the  porch. 
The  steps  were  rotten,  and 
what  was  left  of  the  porch  was 
covered  with  broken  furniture 
and  more  litter.  Cobwebs  were 

1  abundance.  I  decided  no 
one  lived  there  and  that  I  must 
have  taken  the  wrong  road. 

At  that  moment  I  could  hear 
strains  of  music  but  could  not 
tell  from  where  they  were 
wming.  The  music  stopped 
a"d  then  I  heard  voices.  This 
was  straifce.  because  I  could 
see  that  the  house  was  empty. 

walked  toward  the  back  of 
™e  old  house.  1  heard  the 
radio   again,    and    three    big 


hounds  got  up  and  lazily 
ambled  away.  The  music  was 
coming  from  a  little  shack  in 
the  back  of  the  house. 
I  braced  myself,  stepped  up 
on  the  stoop  and  knocked  on 
the  door.  Suddenly  a  bearded 
man  stood  in  the  doorway  and 
said,  "Yup."  I  said  I  was 
there  in  reply  to  his  request 
for  information  about  The 
Bible  Story  and  told  him  my 
name.  He  replied  with, 
"Yup."  I  could  see  past  him, 
and  the  inside  looked  worse 
than  the  outside,  so  I  decided 
■-  to  stay  right  on  the  porch.  I 
showed  him  The  Bible  Story 
accordian  folder  and  asked 
him  whether  he  liked  them. 
He  said,  "Yup."  I  thought  I 
would  try  a  close  and  asked 
whether  he  would  like  to  have 
them.  He  said,  "Yup." 
I  don't  know  why,  but  I 
decided  to  show  him  the  BRL 
accordian  folder  and  told  him 
the  six  large  books  and  the 
Bible  came  with  The  Bible 
Story  and  that  all  of  it  together 
was  only  $298. 75.He  pulled 
out  a  wad  of  money  from  the 
bib  of  his  overalls  and  handed 
me  three  dollars.  I  prayed 
again,  "Lord,  what  do  I  do 
now?"  I  felt  impressed  to  say, 
"You  don't  understand.  The 
price  is  $298.75,  and  you  do 


want  them,  don't  you?" 
He  said,  "Yup,"  and  took 
back  the  three  dollars  and 
handed  me  three  $100  bills 
and  a  $20  bill  when  I  told  him 
there  was  a  tax  and  postage.  I 
gave  him  his  change,  and  then 
he  spoke  his  first  sentence: 
"When  do  I  get  my  books?"  I 
said,  "Right  now,  if  you  will 
follow  me~to  the  car."  He  did, 
and  1  gave  him  the  home 
library.  I  had  prayer  with  him, 
and  I  noticed  a  tear  in  his  eye 
as  he  put  the  heavy  box  on  his 
shoulder  and  made  his  way 
through  the  fences  and  around 
the  house.  As  I  stood  there 
watching  him  climb  that  hill  I 
said,  "Lord,  bless  that  simple 
man,  and  may  his  faith  be 
rewarded  in  heaven." 
In  four  years  this  was  the 
shortest  canvass  I  had  ever 
given,  but  Dale  Carnegie  says, 
'  'Tell  your  prospect  just 
enough  to  get  the  order  and  no 

You  too  can  join  in  the 
canvassing  work.  Don't  for-

room  of  the  cafeteria  there  will

took  place  every  Sunday.  On 
Sunday,  Freddy  would  not 
chase  turkeys  or  chickens,  dig 
for  mice  or  even  socialize  with 
his  friends.  It  seemed  like  he 
was  hardly  a  fox  on  Sunday, 
much  to  the  dismay  of  his 
friends.  He  seemed  to  imitate 
a  racoon  or  some  other  animal 
in  the  forest.  He  did  a  poor 
job  of  imitations. 

His  friends  worried  about 
him.  Word  went  around  that 
Freddy  was  losing  his  grip  on 
life.  One  day  some  of  his 
friends  were  talking  among 
themselves  and  they  decided 
he  should  go  and  see  a 
counselor  (a  euphiwijm   for 


phychiatrists)  to  sort  out  his 
rather  split  personality.  The 
intimation  of  their  discussion 
was  that  he  was  schizophren- 
ic. A  few  days  later,  when 
they  got  up  enough  nerve  to 
talk  to  him  about  his  problem, 
he  gave  this  explanation. 
"It  is  simple,"  Freddy  said. 
"Sunday  is  the  day  of  the  fox 
hunt,  and  I  don't  want  to  be  a 
fox  on  Sunday." 

Moral: 

If  you  become  someone  else 
one  day  a  week, 
"Then  who  were  you  on  the 
other  six  days?

Except  for  the  Rees  Series 
which  is  yet  to  be  held, 
basketball  season  is  now  over. 
In  some  ways  it  was  a  very 
surprising  season  and  in  other 

In  A  A  the  surprise  was 
Koliadko  and  O'Brien  ending 
up  tied  for  first  place  with 
identical  6-4  records.  Koliadko 
however,    beat    O'Brien    two 

(earn  the  right  to  claim  num- 
ber one.  Much  is  to  be  said  for 
Koliadko's  efforts  as  they  won 
six  of  their  last  seven  games, 
after  a  0-3  start.  This  particu- 
lar sports  editor,  being  greatly 
embarassed  after  picking 
O'Brien  and  Koliadko  1o  finish 
fourth  and  fifth  respectively, 


gladly   extends    his    cor 
ulations  to  both  squads 


IT.H 


Bovell  fin- 
winning  both  his 
games,    Bovell 


other  AA  i 
ished  strong, 

leading  his  I 
test  with  a  39  point  per- 
formance. Vogel  and  Botimer, 
however,  lost  both  of  their 
post  season  matches,  to  con- 
clude somewhat  disappointing 


season  at  7-1,  and  all  alone  in 
first  place.  His  only  blemish, 
being  a  1-point  loss  to  second 
place  Hobbs.  At  press  time, 
Hobbs,  Manzella,  Tunnell, 
and  Fitzgerald  all  have  games 
'to  play  to  determine  who 
finishes  second,  third,  and 
fourlh.  The  rest  of  the  teams 
in  A  league  are  to  be  com- 
mended for  their  perform- 
ances, possibly  making  this 
year's  A  league  (he  best  ever. 
B  league  sports  the  only 
undefeated  team  in  the  school: 
Duff.  Finishing  at  7-0,  Duff 
easily  clinched  first  place  with 
several  convincing  victories. 
Also  congratulations  to  Jeff 
Kuhlman  whose  48-point  per- 
formance against  Gentry  lead 
him  to  a  31-plus-point  average 
per  game,  which  is  the  highest 
in  the  school. 

McQuistan  won  the 

Women's  league  by  a  one 
game  margin  over  Laurencell. 
McQuistan's  team  undoubted- 
ly had  the  best  personnel  in 
the  league  on  a  team  by  team 
basis,  with  Loretta  Messer, 
Tamara  Nafie,  Nancy  Malin 
and  Velvet  McQuistan  leading 
the  team. 
Laurencell  was  the  key  factor 
to  her  team,  being  the  leading 


scorer  in  the  league.  Al- 
though low  scoring  as  a  team, 
Laurencell  managed  to  keep 
opponents  at  an  even  lower 
score,  with  excellent  defense. 
As  most  of  you  know,  the 
Rees  Series  will  be  held  this 
Thursday  and  Saturday  nights 
in  the  Gym.  For  those  new 
students  who  are  not  aware  of 
what  the  Rees  Series  is,  it  is  a 
basketball  tournament  be- 
tween the  Freshmen,  Sohpo- 
more,  Junior  and  Senior 
classes.  It  is  probably  SC's 
most  popular  event  in  that 
provides  for  some  excellent 
entertainment  as  well  as 
bringing  our  student  body 
together.  All  students  are 
encouraged  to  come  out  and

Walking  by  the  Student  Cen- 
ter between  classes,  I  noticed 
a  lettle  black  gadget  lying  off 
(he  sidewalk  in  the  grass. 
Picking  it  up,  I  looked  it  oyer. 
It  had  a  small  dial  on  the  front, 
with  an  arrow  that  could  turn 
around.  To  the  left,  it  had  a 
small  "B.C."  stamped  on  it  in 
white  letters;  to  the  right, 
"A.D."  I  went  clickety-click. 
Pretty  cute.  I  turned  the  dial 
over  to  the  right,  and 
punched  a  little  button. 
Nothing. 

"Hey,  look  at  the  weirdo! 
Where'd  you  get  that  martian 
nerd  suit?"  I  looked  up  and 
found  what  "I  thought  were 
students.  As  they  gathered 
about  me,  I  noticed  that  they 
i  wearing  plastic-coated 
jump  suits.  Where'd  they 
come  from? 

"What  some  people  do  for 
attention,"  said  one  guy,  fin- 
gering my  Izod  sweater. 
"Maybe  he's  on  his  way  to  a 
costume  party,"  added  a  girl. 


"If  you  don't  mind,"  I  said 
rather  hotly,  "I  happen  to  be 
very  preppie." 

"Preppie?"  They  all  stared, 
at  each  other.  "He  must  be  a 
theology  student  using  new 
words."  Bored  with  me,  they 
walked  off,  except  for  one  guy. 
"Hi,"  he  said.  "My  name  is 
Eoraino. ' '  Very  funny  I 
thought.  I'll  joke  with  him. 
"I'm  Stromboli."  "Glad  to 
meet  you,  strom,"  he  said, 
shaking  my  hand.  (I  think  this 
guy. is  on  the  level.)  "Say,"  I 
asked,  "Where  am  I?"  He 
looked  surprised.  "Why,  this 
is  the  campus  of  S.M.C." 
"S.M.C.?  You  changed  the 
name  again?"  "Yes,  it  was 
made  Schlisner  Memorial  Col- 
lege in  2015,  after  the  greatest 
college  president  we  ever  had. 
That  was  about  50  years  ago, ' ' 
I  stared  bug-eyed.  "What 
made  him  so  great?"  "Ah," 
said  Lomino,  sounding  wist- 
ful, "He  instituted  a  movie 
screen  in  each  room.  We've 


by  Victor  Czerkasij 

been  the  biggest  college 
since."  I  sat  down  weakly. 
"Hey,  are  you  alright?"  he 
asked.  "You  look  like  tuition 
went  up  again.  "How  much  do 
you  pay  now?"  I  wondered. 
"Oh,  we're  the  cheapest  at 
53,500  an  hour."  I  groped  for 
an  air-sick  bag.  "Say,"  he 
asked,  "Do  you  know  much 
about  this  school's  early  his- 
tory?" "A  little."  "Could 
you  come  and  answer  some 
questions?"  "I'll      try." 

"Great!  Let's  go  over  to  the  AI 
Franklin  Archives."  I  wasn't 
going  to  ask. 

Seated  in  front  of  a  video 
screen,  Lomino  showed  me  a 
large  mushroom  cloud.  "Oh, 
that's  easy,"  I  said.  "That's 
an  atomic  explosion."  Sober- 
ly, Lomino  said,  "Yes,  I  know. 
After  the  C.K.  grill  blew  up  in 
the  spring  of  1983,  we  had  to 
start  all  over.  My  grandfather, 
Lomino  Sr.,  was  named  in 
honor  of  the  survivors." 

I  came  to.  "Hey,  Stromboli, 


you  fainted  dead  away!" 
"I'm-I'm  alright.  What 
else?"  A  fat,  orange  cat 
flashed  on  the  screen.  "How 
is  this  creature  associated  with 
the  early  growth  of  the 
school?"  "Oh,  just  news- 
paper filler."  Another  picture 
appeared.  It  was  an  old  group 
scene  from  Nerd  Day.  "This 
has  puzzled  the  scholars  for  a 
longtime,"  said  Lomino.  "Is 
it  a  tour  group  from  Mocassin 
Bend? ' '  ' 'You  could  say 
that." 

The  next  scene  showed  a 
group  of  soldiers  with  rifles 
and  flame  throwers  entering 
talge.  "Did  SMC  have  campus 
riots?"  asked  Lomino,  con- 
cerned. "No,  but  they  did 
have  a  roach  problem."  Lomi- 
no had  more  questions. 
"What  was  the  Strawberry 
Festival?  Was  it  an  early  rite 
of  spring?"  "Not  hardly." 
"  What  were  Jokers?"  "Cam- 
pus Security." 

A   beeper  went   off  on    his 


wrist.  "Oh-oh,  gotta  get  going 
to  my  room-it's  time  for 
chapel."  "Chapel  in  your 
room?"  I  asked,  confused. 
"That's  right,  over  the  video 
screen.  Same  with  classes." 
"Well,  I  guess  you  don't 
worry  about  chapel  cards." 
"No,  we  don't,  but  this  beeper 
is  loaded  with  200  volts  if  I'm 
not  tuned  in  right."  I 
blanched.  "Will  you  be  here 
Saturday  night?"  he  asked. 
"We'll  be  having  a  real  old 
classic:  Don  Knotts  meets 
E.  T. ' ',  followed  by  a  good 
fiction  flic:  "J.T.  Makes 
V.P."  "No,  no,  I'm  sorry,  I 
have  to  go."  I  flipped  the 
switch  to  1983  and  pressed  the 
button.  Back  in  my  time,  I 
headed  straight  over  to  the 
trash  bin  with  my  gadget,  then 
stopped.  Hmm,  what  if  I  went 
to  B.C.  ?  Make  a  good  article. . .

Southern  Adventist  College.  I    I  don't  think  "Southern  Col-

and  the  people  out  there  felt     should    name    it    something 
that  Southern  College  had  no     else, 
personality        or        identity. 
Personally  1  realize   the  full 
name  is  SCSDA,  so  why  not 
just  call  it  Southern  Adventist 
College.    I'm  not  ashamed  of 
being  a  Seventh-day  Advent-

could    eventually    become    a

Endowmen  t 
planned 

The  Southern  College  Board 
of  Trustees  voted  to  accept  a 
proposal  for  a  10  million 
endowment  fund  to  be  com- 
pleted by  1992.  The  program 
would  be  run  by  a  campaign 


fund 


din 


vho 


uld 


ordinate    the    fund-raising 
activities. 

The  idea  for  the  fund  was 
originated  by  Sanford  Ulmer, 
who  was  a  student  here  over 
60  years  ago.  He  and  his  wife 
were  driving  by  Collegedale 
on  1-75  when  they  saw  the  sign 
to  the  college  and  realized 
they  hadn't  been  here  for 
many  years.  They  talked  to 
several  staff  members,  then 
got  in  touch  with  the  Public 
Relations  office  about  setting 
up  a  scholarship  fund.  The 
Ulmers  received  many  letters 
from  grateful  students,  thank- 
ing them  for  the  gift. 

"What  better  thing  can  we 
do  with  our  money?"  Ulmer 
asked  the  board  in  an  emotion- 
al presentation.  "I  want  to  do 
something  for  the  students  of 
this  college." 

The  board  voted  their 
appreciation  to  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Ulmer. 

In  other  action,  the  Tony 
Romero  report 


change  was  officially  pre- 
sented to  the  Board  of 
Trustees.  The  trustees  voted 
to  establish  a  committee  con- 
sisting of  board  members, 
faculty,  alumni,  and  students. 
This  committee  will  make 
recommendations  to  the  Board 
of  Trustees  relative  to  the 
college  name,  logo,  diplomas, 
and  marketing.  All  actions 
concerning  this  matter  will  go 
through  this  committee. 

The  trustees  approved  a 
tuition  increase  of  8%  for  next 
school  year.  This  is  the 
increase  necessary  due  to  the 
projected  drop  in  enrollment 
of  140  FTE  (full-time  equiv- 
alency). Despite  the  increase. 
Southern  College  will  still  be 
the  second  least  expensive 
Adventist  college  in  North 
America,  according  to  Dr. 
Knittel.  Oakwood  College 
costs  less  but  is  subsidized  by 
the  General  Conference. 
The  trustees  granted  Dr.  Ray 
Hefferlin  a  sabbatical  leave  for 
next  year  so  he  can  to  to  the 
Soviet  Union.  They  also 
granted  six  teachers  a  summer 
leave-Bruce  Ashton,  Brad 
Davis,  Judy  Glass,  Desmond 
Rice,  and  Steve  Zimmerman. 
The  trustees  did  not  cut  any 
tenured  faculty. 


Spangle r  gives  Week  of  Prayer 


Elder  Robert  Spangler,  editor 
of  Ministry  magazine,  is  con- 
ducting the  Spring  Week  of 
Spiritual  Emphasis  at  South- 
ern College  this  week. 

"I  am  praying,"  Spangler 
told  the  students  at  the  open- 
ing meeting,  "that  God  will 
help  us  get  a  closer  relation- 
ship to  him."  We  need  to  put 
first  things  first.  Even  if  you 
have  to  change   your   whole 


the  South  and  Southwest.  In 
1954,  Elder  Spangler  received 
a    call    to    the    Far    Eastern 


"A  person  is  lost  not  because 
he  is  'bad'  but  because  he  ig- 
nores God.  By  ignoring  God," 
Spangler  emphasized,  "we 
get  our  of  harmony  with  him. 
Then  we  get  a  'who  cares' 
attitude." 

Elder  Spangler  attended 
Southern  Junior  College  from 
1939-41.  "I  would  have  gone 
here  all  four  years  because  I 
just  love  it  here,"  he  says, 
"but  they  only  had  a  two  year 
program  at  that  time."  Elder 
Spangler  met  his  wife  at  what 
is  now  Columbia  Union  Col- 
ege  where  he  graduated  from 
in  1943.  He  interned  in  the 
Ohio  and  Florida  Conferences 
then  worked  as  a  pastor/evan- 
gelist for  the  next  11  years  in

Spangler  went  on  to  the 
General  Conference  six  years 
later  as  Associate  Secretary  of 
the  Ministerial  Association,  a 
department  which  he  later 
headed.  In  1966.  Elder 
Spangler  became  editor  of 
Ministry  magazine,  in  addi- 
tion to  his  duties  at  the 
Ministerial  Association.  Then 
in  1980,  the  Ministerial  and 
Stewardship  Departments 
combined  with  Spangler  as  the 
new  director.  Today,  in

The  Chinese  Magic  Circus  of 
Taiwan  will  perform  at  the 
Physical  Education  Center  on 
Sunday.  March  13  at  7:30  p.m. 
This  production  features  acro- 
batics and  magic  of  the.  East 
along  with  comedy,  balancing 
feats,  Kung  Fu  and  costumed 
girls  performing  traditional 
dances. 

The  precision  of  the  acrobats 
are  due  to  years  of  training 
and  discipline,  but  their  art 
was  formed  by  centuries  of 
tradition.  The  Chinese  acro- 
batics are  more  than  a  series 
of  stunts.  Most  of  the  acts 
were  created  and  performed  in 


China  as  far  back  as  200  B.C. 
and  have  been  :■  part  of 
Chinese  culture  in.l  ihc  arts. 
Many  of  the  acts  demonstrate 
finding  harmony  between 
mind  and  body--an  ancient 
concept  in  the  Orient. 

The  cast  numbers  17  per- 
sons, six  of  whom  are  dancers. 
In  the  past  6  years,  tours  have 
taken  them  through  all  of 
South  and  Central  America. 
Southeast  Asia,  South  Africa, 
England,  Canada,  and  the 
United  States. 

Ticked  prices  are  $5  for 
adults  and  S2.50  for  students 
with  ID.

Spring    Break    came 
just      in     time 


SpringBreak!  A  time, Jo  head  h^ofl*  beach  «■»« 

chance  to  sleep,  eat,  watch  TV  (catch  up  on  the  soapsl),  relax 
and  enjoy  Me  for  a  while.  .„„,„,    icauehtupon 

1  know  that  my  Spring  Break  helped  me  a  lot.  I caught ^upo 
mv  sleep  and  saved  myself  from  becoming  sick.    1  watched 

stuff    I  really  enjoyed  myself,  just  being  lazy  for  once. 

I  am  really  glad  that  the  administration  has  incorporated 
such"  vacation  into  the  schedule.  Just  think  about  wha  it 
would  be  like  if  we  didn't  have  a  Spring  Break    « 

After  all  your  midterm  tests,  you  would  have  tostart 
studying  all  over  again  immediately  for  quizzes  and  finals, 
etc  You  wouldn't  be  able  to  catch  your  breath,  because 
there  would  be  no  time.  Of  course,  school  would  get  out  one 
week  earlier,  but  what  if  you  couldn't  make  it  to  the  end  ol 
the  semester?  What  if  you  collapsed  from  overwork  and  too 
much  study?  You  would  have  just  wasted  your  entire 
semester.  .  

Actually,  Spring  Break  is  a  chance  for  teachers  to  catch  up, 
too  They  can  finish  grading  all  those  papers  they  required 
just  before  midterms,  and  then  make  up  grades.  They  might 
even  get  a  couple  of  days  off,  if  they  work  real  hard! 

I  know  I  appreciated  Spring  Break,  How  about  you?

Dear  Editor, 

I  would  like  to  share  an 
experience  1  had  over  vacation 
with  you.  Some  friends  and  1 
were  in  Record  Bar  in  the 
Eastgate  Shopping  Center  and 
we  were  looking  at  some  of  the 
records.  One  of  my  friends 
picked  up  a  record  by  Black 
Sabbath  and  on  the  cover  was 
a  picture  of  Satan.  Even 
though  my  friend  was  holding 
it,  I  got  really  bad  vibes  from 
it.  It  was  like  an  evil  influence 
was  permeating  the  atmos- 
phere. It  scared  me  and  I  had 
to  leave.  This  experience  has 
showed  me  that  the  devil  has  a 
direct  influence  on  rock  music. 
1  would  like  to  thank  the 
faculty  for  making  rock  con- 
certs off  limits.  They  know 
what  they  are  doing.  Thank 
you. 

Sincerely, 
Cindy  Torgesen 
Dear  Editor, 

This  letter  concerns  a  classi- 
fied in  last  week's  Accent 
addressed  to  Talge  residents 
by  Ms.  "Anonymous"  claim- 
ing that  a  man-eating  lioness 
had  gone  into  Talge  and 
starved  to  death.  Most  guys  I 
talked  to  dismissed  it  as  a 
stupid  joke,  and  maybe  that's 
all  it  is. 
I  suspect,  however,  that  Ms. 
"Anonymous"  was  being  at 
least  partly  serious  in  which 
case  she  should  know  that 
there  are  plenty  of  guys  over 
here  still  waiting  for  the  first 
"10"  to  move  into  Thatcher. 
This  doesn't  mean  that  there's 
anything  wrong  with  the  girls 
at  Thatcher,  or  the  guys  at 
Talge  for  that  matter.  There 


however. 


that  are  very  wrong  with  the 


very  unChristian  concept  of  a 
"10"  or  a  "real"  (ideal)  man 
or  "real"  woman.    The  main 
problems  are  1)  that  for  all  but 
a  handful  of  people  within  any 
given    society,     becoming    a 
"10"  isn't  really  possible,  and 
2)  the  goal  itself  (of  becoming 
a  "10"  isn't  really  all  that 
desirable 
The  point  is  that  for  every 
person  who  is  a  "10".  there 
are   millions    of   others    who 
either    are    hopelessly    frus- 
trated   by    their    inability    to 
become  a  "10"  or  who  have 
learned,    somehow,    to    Hve 
happy  and  well-adjusted  lives 
in  spite  of  that  inability. 
Now  as  to  how  desirable  it  is 
to  be  a  "10"  (or  to  date  one, 
for  that  matter),  I  suppose  the 
two  best  examples  of  a  "10" 
in  our  society  are  Tom  Selleck 
and  Raquel    Welch.    I    don't 
know  a  great  deal  about  Tom 
Selleck,  but  1  do  know  that 
when  he's  on  television  he's 
acting  out  the  role  of  Magnum 
not    Tom     Selleck;     and     as 
attractive  as  he  may  seem  to 
Thatch erites,    I    doubt    that 
most  of  them   would   really 
enjoy  a  relationship  with  him. 
In   Ms.    Welch's   case,    I   do 
know  a  little  of  her  personal  life 
and   Im   quite   sure   none   in 
Talge 

having  her  as  a  companion. 
The  best  case-in-point  re- 
garding the  desirability  of 
being  a  "10"  is  probably 
Marilyn  Monroe.  If  anyone 
ever  was  a  "10",  it  was 
Marilyn.  In  fact,  Raquel  really 
doesn't  hold  a  candle  to  her 
and  a  look  at  one  of  Ms. 
Monroe's  movies  will  convince 
any  doubters.  Marilyn  died  of 
a  drug  overdose  in  1962  at  age 
36  and,  although  some  claim 


she  was  really  murdered, 
there  can  be  no  doubt  that  this 
"10"  lived  a  miserable  life. 
When  one  girl  told  Marilyn 
she  wanted  to  be  just  like  her, 
she  very  emphatically  told  the 
girl  never  to  say  that  again. 
"You  have  everything, "Mon- 
roe told  her,  "you  have  people 
who  really  love  you.  Nobody 

If  only  she  knew  how  wrong 
she  was!  There  was  Someone 
who  loved  Marilyn  with  an 
everlasting  love  and  He  has 
that  same  kind  of  love  for  you 
and  me.  In  His  opinion  (the 
only  one  that  really  counts) 
we're  all  "10's",  througha 
saving  knowledge  of  His  love 
and  grace. 
If  there  is  a  true,  all-encom- 
passing set  of  criterion  for  a 
"real"  man  or  woman,  it  1S 
that  set  up  by  Paul  in  I  and  B 
Timothy.  Although  it  is  advice 
given  to  a  young  man  H""- 
othy),  it  applies  equally  to 
young  women.  In  I  Timothy 
6:11,12  Paul  exhorts  Timothy 
to  "flee"  from  evil  «£ 
pursue  righteousness  gooi 
ness,  faith,  love,  endurance 
and  gentleness."  A  '« 
man  or  woman  is  one  "„, 
fights  "the  gooo.^'Jy 
faith,"  not  some  vain,  earthly 
goal  of  being  or  becom  "8

McElroy      celebrates      election 


Campaigning  for  the  1983-84 
Student  Associations  offices 
ended  during  the  latter  part  of 
February  with  voting  on  Feb- 
ruary 16  and  17.  Glenn 
McElroy  received  89  %  of  the 
vote  in  his  unopposed  bid  for 
SA  President.  In  the  vice- 
presidental  race,  J.T.  Shim 
pulled  62%of  the  vote  to  Cary 
Gregory's  38%.  Ken  Rozell 
was  eliminated  in  the  qualify- 
ing primary.  Malinda  McKee 
gained  the  right  to  edit  next 
year's  Southern  Memories  by 
outdistancing  opponent 
Stafford  Barzey,  60%  to  40%- 
In  the  other  elections,  Peggy 
Brandenburg  received  87%  of 
the  yes/no  vote  to  become 
Social  Activities  Director. 
John  Seaman  had  a  91% 
approval  rating  in  his  quest  to 
be  the  next  Student  Services 
Director.  Maureen  Mayden 
will  move  from  assistant 
Editor  of  the  Southern  Accent 
to  Editor  because  of  her  84% 
positive  rating.  Don  Welch 
received  the  highest  vote  per- 
centage of  all  the  candidates 
in  his  bid  to  become  Joker 
editor  with  93%. 

The  winning  candidates  had 
many  ways  to  celebrate  their 
victories.      Some   held    quiet 


parties.  Glenn  McElroy,  how- 
ever, made  a  big  splash.  One 
day  after  the  results  were 
released,  McElroy  had  a  big 
party  at  Taco  Bell.  At  5:30,  he 
arrived  at  the  Mexican  res- 
taurant in  a  black  limosine, 
accompanied  by  a  police  es- 
cort. A  camera  crew  from 
TV12  was  on  hand  to  take 
footage  of  the  SA  President- 
elect and  his  celebrating  sup- 
porters. McElroy  told  the  : 
Southern  Accent  he  planned 
the  party  not  only  to  celebrate 
but  to  build  school  spirit.  "1 
feel  like  we  have  to  have 
better  school  spirit,"  he  said. 
"We  need  to  let  people  know 
we  aren't  ashamed  of  being 
from  Southern."  "My  main 
prioirity  next  year," 
McElroy  added,  "is  to  build 
school  spirit  and  the  under- 
standing between  faculty  and 
students.  This  all  ties  to- 
gether-school spirit,  positive 
attitude  and  an  understanding 
from  where  faculty  and  stu- 
dents are  coming.  "I  see' next 
year's  SA  as  an  organization 
working  for  the  students  and 
with  the  students  for  the 
betterment  of  Southern 
College.' 


Glen  McElroy  and  a  group  of  supporters  celebrate  Ihe  election 


Third  time's 
for    Shim 


a    cha  rm 


After  making  the  campaign 
slogan  of  "JT  4  VP"  a 
well-known  phrase  in  1981 
and  1982,  it  will  finally  be  "JT 
in  '83".  Jook-Ting  Shim, 
better  know  as  JT,  was  elected 
with  62%  of  the  votes  to  the 
office  which  he  has  been 
seeking  for  the  past  three 
years,  that  of  S.A.  vice  pres- 
ident. This  is  compared  with 
12%  of  the  votes  his  first  year 
of  candidacy  and  8%  the 
following  year. 

How  does  JT  feel  after  his 
recent  victory?  "Relieved.  1 
had  put  sufficient  time  and 
effort  and  thought  into  the 
vice  presidential  race  that  to 
lose  this  time  would  have  been 
considered  defeat,"  answers 
the  vice  president-elect.  "The 
last  two  attempts  were  not 
defeats-they  just  weren't  suc- 
cesses. The  twenty-four  hours 


GARFIELD® 


before  the  results  were  posted 
were  the  longest  I've  experi- 
enced for  years.  It's  the  first 
time  that  I  honestly  wished 
time  would  go  faster." 

JT  admits,  however,  that  he 
wasn't  surprised  at  the  re- 
sults because  he  had  cam- 
paigned hard,  had  the  support 
of  many  influential  people  on 
campus,  and  was  ready.  It 
was  this  that  made  the  dif- 
ference in  the  outcome  from 
previous  years.  "The  cam- 
paign had  a  significant  impact 
on  my  studies,  finances  and 
sleep,  unlike  the  previous  two 
attempts,"  explains  JT.  "The 
investment  in  time  and  money 
by  friends  and  myself  far 
exceed  the  combined  efforts  of 
my  1981  and  1982  vice  presi- 
dential campaigns."  how- 
ever, JT  believes  that  it  was 
the  confidence  that  he  had 


himself  that  truly  made  the 
difference  this  year.  "I  have 
this  problem-I  find  it  ex- 
tremely difficult  to  lie.  There- 
fore, rfind  it  impossible  to  sell 
or  market  something  I  don't 
believe  in.  The  last  two  years 
I  could  not  say  as  I  can  this 
year,  'I  am  the  best  man  for 
the  job  of  S.A.  vice  president.' 

I  am  convinced,  and  I  can 
convince  others." 

Being  the  type  of  indiv-lual 
that  likes  to  "get  in  the 
driver's  seat  and  do  it  right 
rather  than  "sitting  in  the 
backseat  criticizing  and  ques- 
tioning the  actions  and  deci- 
sions of  any  administration," 
JT  believes  he  is  in  _ the 
position  with  which  he  "can 
do  the  most  good  for  the  most 
people.  I  have  great  difficulty 
being  a  spectator  in  life.  I 
thrive  on  involvement  and  do 


not  intend  to  complain  about 
any  situation  without  first 
studying  the  problem  and 
attempting  to  solve  it.  I  like 
action.  I  like  progress.  I  like 
improvement.  Besides,  it  will 
be  an  official  title  which  will 
cover  most  of  the  extra-cur- 
ricular activity  I'm  now  en- 
gaged in.  I  can  justify  doing 
what  I  enjoy  by  saying  that  it 
it  my  job." 


by  Jim  Davis 


Realizing  that  it's  "impos- 
sible" to  do  justice  to  the  vice 
presidency  and  be  a  full  time 
student,  he  is  postponing  his 
graduation  a  year. 

In  reference  to  suggestions 
that  Glenn  McElroy,  Presi- 
dent-elect, and  JT  will  not 
work  well  together,  JT  states, 
"I've  only  met  one  person  on 
this  campus  with  whom  I  truly 
couldn't  stand,  and  it  isn't 
Glenn.  "I've  got  the  capa- 
bility for  realizing  that  my  wayj 
is  not  the  only  way  or  even  thej| 
best  way."  Having  worked 
with  Glenn  McElroy  on  the 
Senate  Projects  Committee, 
JT  knows  that  the  vice  presi- 
dent does  not  work  by  himself. 
"The  president  will  be  ex- 
pected to  call  the  shots,  and  as 
I've  said  before,  and  I'll  say 
again.  'I  will  support  the 
president'."

Spangler    discusses     major     issues 


The  Southern  Accent  talked 
to  Elder  Robert  Spangler  con- 
cerning issues  facing  the 
church.  Here  are  excerpts 
from  the  conversation. 

You  have  travelled  to  Australia 
and  held  meetings  with  mini- 
sters. What  is  the  situation 
like  out  there? 

The  church  has  recently  lost 
50  ministers  in  Australia, 
mostly  to  apostasy.  The  main 
difference  in  Ford's  theology 
is  prophetic  interpretation.  It 
is  like  Ford  chopping  down  the 
forest  of  prophetic  inter- 
pretation   and     planting     his 

Another  tragedy  is  that  many 
of  Ford's  followers  have  gone 
far  beyond  him   in  dropping 


ihe  Sabbath,  the  law  and  other 
basic  Adventist  doctrines. 
Do  you  see  the  church  accept- 
ing these  ministers  back? 
The  question  is  "Can  you 
push  back  the  walls  of  the 
church?"  Prophecy  is  so 
interwoven  into  the  doctrines 
of  the  church  that  to  alter 
them  would  destroy 
Adventism. 

Is  the  gap  between  Ford  and 
the  Seventh-day  Adventist 
Church  insurmountable? 
It  is  insurmountable  in  that 
Ford  and  his  group  won't 
change.  If  the  church 
changes,  it  will  lose  its  reason 
for  existence.  Ford  has  gone 
farther  away  from  the  church 
then  you  think  in  the  last  five 


Many  church  members  felt 
that  Ford  did  not  get  a  fair 
deal  at  Glacier  View.     What  is 


Many  of  these  feelings  are  aue 
to  misunderstandings  con- 
cerning the  Glacier  View 
gathering.  There  were  actual- 
ly two  sets  of  meeting.  The 
original  Glacier  View  meeting 
was  to  strictly  be  investi- 
gative. 

However,  leaders  from  the 
Australasia  Division  wanted  to 
decide  what  to  do  with  Ford's 
credientials.  So  a  separate 
meeting  was  held  after  the 
regular  meeting. 
I  was  on  the  committee  that 
interviewed  Ford.  We  asked 
him  to  take  his  time  in 
considering  his  position  but  he 


refused.  I  wish  we  had  waited 
on  this  committee  to  avoid  the 
confusion. 

How  do  you  feel  about  the 
extra  duties  that  have  been 
added  to  your  workload? 
1  enjoy  the  work  but  it  is  very 
stressful  in  terms  of  the  crisis 
that  Has  rocked  the  General 
Conference.  Yet  I  feel  that  the 
crisis  had  to  come  because  of 
the  lethargy  among  the  mem- 
bers of  the  church. 
Some  of  the  crisis  is  very 
tramatic.  I  have  a  friend  who 
gave  up  everything-church, 
God.  Yet  good  has  come  out 
of  it.  It  has  forced  us  to  study, 
individually.  And  to  make 
sure  our  message  is  Biblically 
sound  and  Biblically  based. 
The  more  we  study,  the  more 


firmly  we  believe  in  the  fund- 
amental beliefs.  We  have  a 
Biblical  foundation.  ft  js 
expanded  and  broadened  bv 
Ellen  G.  White.  But  the  basic 
principles  are  from  the  Bible. 
Will  the  church  de-emphasize 
Ellen  White? 

There  will  be  less  emphasis  in 
the  sense  that  ministers  will 
not  be  having  whole  sermons 
using  only  EGW  quotes.  Her 
writings  will  be  used  as  an  aid. 
Ellen  G.  White's  writing  will 
also  be  used  less  as  a  club. 
The  way  we  used  it  in  the  past 
tended  to  be  counter-pro- 
ductive. In  the  past  we  also 
put  her  on  a  pedestal.  We 
have  to  remember  that  she 
was  a  human  being.

WEST  GERMAN  CHAN- 
cellor  Helmut  Kohl's 
right  wing  coalition  defeated 
the  more  liberal  Social  Demo- 
crats decisively  in  West  Ger- 
many's parliamentary  elec- 
tions Sunday.  This  win  will 
ease  the  way  for  the  scheduled 
deployment  of  U.S.  medium- 
range  nuclear  missiles  there 
later  this  year.  In  Washing- 
ton, a  State  Department  offi- 
cial claimed  that  Kohl's  vic- 
tory "makes  the  whole 
management  of  the  missiles 
easier,"  because  of  the  Chan- 
cellor's strong  support  for 
U.S.  nuclear  arms  policies. 

THE  HOUSE  FOREIGN  AF- 
fairs  Committee  ap- 
proved a  bi-partisan  resolution 
calling  for  a  freeze  on  nuclear 
weapons  Tuesday.  The  action 
was  taken  as  4,200  anti- 
nuclear  activists  demonstrated 
outside  the  Capitol  building. 
Referring  to  the  resolution, 
President  Reagan  told  a 
gathering  of  evangelicals  that 
he'd  agree  to  freeze  nuclear 
weapons  if  he  could  also 
freeze  Soviet  "global  de- 
sires." The  president  claimed 
that  a  freeze  would  leave  the 
U.S.  "increasingly  vulner- 
able" to  Soviet  aggression. 

POPE  JOHN  PAUL  II 
launched  a  nine  nation 
tour  of  Central  America 
last  week,  hoping  to  "share 
the  pain"  and  his  vision  for 
peace  in  that  strife-torn  area 
where  100,000  have  died  in 
the  last  five  years.  In 
Guatemala  Monday,  the  Pope 
made  thinly-veiled  attacks  on 


the  right-wing  government  of 
General  Efrain  Rios  Montt  and 
the  Evangelical  Protestant 
movement  the  general  favors. 
Later,  referring       to 

Guatemala's  divided  religious 
loyalties,  John  Paul  praised 
"the  Church  -  one  holy. 
Catholic  and  apostolic." 


QUEEN  ELIZABETH  II 
wrapped  up  in  a  10-day 
tour  of  the  West  coast  in 
Washington  Tuesday.  The 
tour,  stretching  from  San 
Diego  to  Seattle  and  high- 
lighted by  a  stay  at  the 
Reagan's  southern  California 
ranch,  was  marred  by  con- 
sistently bad  weather, demon- 
strations assailing  Britain's 
Northern  Ireland  policy,  ana 
an  accident  which  killed  three 
of  the  Secret  Service  agents 
guarding  the  Queen, 
accident  happened  during  the 
royal  visit  to  Yosemite  Nati 
al  Park  Saturday  when 
Mariposa  County  Sheriffs 
veered  over  the  dividing  line 
and  crashed  into  the  agents 
vehicle  head  on. 


A  growing  number  of  college 
counselors  are  reporting  a  major 
ase  in  stress,  resulting  from 
poor  economic  conditions,  bad 
job  prospects,  financial  aid  cuts 
and  even  world  political  crises, 
like  this  summer's  war  in  Leba- 

Some  counselors  say  stress  is 
no  worse  now  than  in  the  past. 
They  point  out  that  stress  is  an 
ongoing  part  of  college  life,  since 
college  is  a  lime  of  change  and 
growth,  and  changes  are  a  basic 
cause  of  stress. 

This  year,  however,  counsel- 
ing centers  on  many  campuses 
are  being  flooded  with  new 
clients  and  forced  to  work  longer 
with  existing  ones.  And  while  the 
problems — relationships,  career 
choices,  academic  pressures — 
remain  the  same,  students'  ability 
to  deal  with  problems  appears  to 
be  impaired. 

Like  many  of  the  newly  un- 
employed, college  students  are 
being  overwhelmed  by  a  sense  of 
helplessness,  a  feeling  that  they 
have  no  control  over  their  own 
lives.  "We've  got  people  saying, 
'I've  done  all  the  right  things,  but 
society  keeps  changing  the 
rules' ,"  says  Thomas  Cummings 
of  Arizona  State  U.'s  Counseling 
Service."  The  angry  optimism  of 
the  '60s  and  '70s  is  gone,"  says 
Chuck  Heikkinen  of  the  U.  of 
Wisconsin-Madison.'.'  There  are 


more  deeply  depressed  people. 
People  that  would  ordinarily 
bounce  back  from  a  specific  prob- 
lem take  longer  to  recover." 

Deep  depression  is  one  aspect 
of  severe  stress.  Others  reported 
by  counselors  include: 

•  More  suicidal  behavior:  It's 
too  early  to  report  a  statistical  in- 
crease in  suicides,  say  coun- 
selors. But  they're  definitely  see- 
ing more  people  who  have 
considered  suicide. 

•  More  homicidal  behav- 
ior: Counselors  report — rather 
cautiously — that  rage  generated 
by  personal  problems  is  being  di- 
rected at  other  things,  and  other 
people. 

•  Increased  problems  with  al- 
cohol: Drinking  is  one  form  of 
escape,  and  when  students  see  no 
alternative  to  problems,  escape  is 
more  attractive. 

•  Physical  ailments:  High 
blood  pressure,  headaches, 
stomach  problems  are  all  show- 
ing up  more  frequently,  particu- 
larly among  students  who  inter- 
nalize their  problems,  instead  of 
seeking  help. 

•  More  identity  crises  among 
women;  At  the  U.  of  Kansas, 
60%  of  the  counseling  center's 
clients  are  female,  an  increase  of 
7%  over  last  year.  "They're  get- 
ting a  lot  of  conflicting  input," 
says  KU's  Dr.  Richard 
Rundquist."  They're  struggling 


to  find  out  what  it  is  they  want  to 
be." 

•  A  greater  awareness  of 
money:  With  personal  finances 
tight,  students  are  more  aware  of 
money  owed  them  by  friends, 
landlords,  or  colleges.  At  North- 
ern Illinois  U.,  Legal  Services 
Director  Patrick  Conboy  sees 
more  students  who  want  to  know 
how  to  get  their  money  back. 

•  A  potential  rise  in  student 
crime;  Many  campuses  are  re- 
porting an  increase  in  vending 
machine  thefts,  and  some  are 
looking  at  removal  of  machines 
as  a  last  resort. 

•  More  church  attendance: 
The  student  life  is  "a  very  pres- 
sured existence,  and  that  pressure

Pastor  Gordon  Bietz 


As  some  may  have  heard  over 
WSMC,  the  General  Confer- 
ence Officers  have  decided  not 
to  publish  a  list  of  names  of 
people  in  the  Review  and 
Herald  of  those  who  were 
implicated  in  the  Davenport 
commission  study  conducted 
by  the  General  Conference. 
This  is  a  reversal  of  a  previous 
decision  reported  in  the 
Review  and  Herald  that  the 
names  of  some  church  admin- 
istrators would  published. 
One  can  hear  the  hue  and  cry 
of  some  whose  initial  reaction 
might  be  "Whitewash!"  or 
"The  General  Conference  did 
not  have  the  courage  to  act." 
Such  concerns  and  doubts 
arise  from  fears  that  the 
Davenport  trauma  will  be 
swept  under  the  rug  and 
implicated  administrative  per- 
sonnel will  simply  be  passed 
to  another  conference  or 
church  entity.  It  may  be  felt 
that  without  such  a  visible 
punishment,  other  "Daven- 
ports" will  arise  that  will 
traumatize  the  church  in  fu- 
ture years.    I  agree  with  the 


decision  of  the  GC  officers  and 
admire  Neal  Wilson  for  the 
courage  he  had  in  reversing 
himself  after  have  published 
his  intentions  in  the  Review. 
1  have  two  major  reasons  for 
agreeing  with  the  decision  not 
to  publish  the  names.  (1)  The 
placing  of  a  "scarlet  letter"  on 
the  names  of  certain  people  as 
a  form  of  punishment  heark- 
ens back  to  the  Middle  Ages 
and  is  an  inappropriate  form 
of  church  discipline.  Such  a 
public  presentation  of  names 
of  any  implicated  official 
might  satisfy  the  sadistic 
nature  of  the  scandal  mon- 
gers, but  it  reminds  one  more 
of  placing  people  in  stocks 
than  a  form  of  redeeming 
censor.  What  purpose  is 
served  than  simply  the  de- 
struction of  some  careers.  For 
those  who  would  like  to  see 
certain  careers  destroyed,  I 
might  quote  from  Meg 
Greenfield's  recent  article  in 
Newsweek  (March  7,  1983)  "I 
do  have  the  impression  that 
we  have  been  seized  by  a  kind 
of    uncontrolled-mob     mood. 


one  that  could  result  in  a 
number  of  people's  getting 
hurt  unnecessarily,"  and 
though  speaking  about  the 
events  in  Washington,  what 
she  says  applies  to  us,  as  she 
continues,  "Somehow,  the 
whole  country  seems  to  get 
engaged-rapidly,  willingly, 
even  joyously-in  these  epi- 
sodes of  ruin,  episodes  in 
which  someone  of  whom  most 
people  had  practically  never 
heard  only  a  short  while  before 
becomes  the  embodiment  of 
all  things  defective  or  evil.  The 
charges  may  be  false;  they 
may  be  true  in  some  special 
respect,  but,  in  their  present- 
ation, wildly  disproportionate 
to  the  truth.  We  all  have  a 
good  time.  The  victim  stag- 
gers away.  We  go  on  to 
something  else....  Invariably 
there  comes  a  point  when 
neutral  observers  as  well  as 
certain  red-hot  defenders  start 
insisting  that  although  (a)  the 
poor  devil  in  questions  is 
really  nothing  like  the  monster 
that  is  emerging  as  his  image, 
and    (b)    the    more    serious 


charges  against  him  have  yet 
to  be  proved,  he  should  in  the 
interest  of  some  greater  public 
good,  get  lost. 

The  guilty  must  be  removed 
from  office,  the  incompetent 
given  positions  that  are  within 
their  competence,  but  to  pub- 
lish names  is  to  go  beyond  the 
proper  bounds  of  church  dis- 
cipline. 

(2)  The  other  reason,  and  the 
prime  one,  as  far  as  I  am 
concerned,  is  one  of  church 
policy.  By  moving  to  punish 
through  the  publication  of 
names  the  General  Con- 
ference was  subverting  pro- 
perly constituted  form  of  dis- 
cipline in  the  SDA  church  and 
moving  toward  a  papal 
usurpation  of  authority. 

The  local  entity  (Union  of 
Local  Conference)  who  hired 
the  people  is  responsible  for 
their  discipline.  To  take  that 
responsibility  from  the  local 
organization  is  to  move  toward 
an  episcopal  form  of  govern- 
ment that  is  contrary  to  our 
church's  theology  of  policy. 
"Well"  some  may  say.  "the 


local  organizations  will  not  do 
anything  about  the  problem." 
In  the  history  of  the  church 
and  society  the  belief  that  the 
local  body  was  not  responsible 
and  able  to  handle  its  own 
problems  has  frequently  re- 
sulted in  the  infringement  of 
one  organization  into  the  re- 
sponsibility of  another. 

The  General  Conference  will 
and  should  reveal  the  informa- 
tion it  has  to  the  employing 
organizations  and  encourage 
them  in  their  implementation 
of  that  discipline.  But  to 
pre-empt  the  authority  of  the 
hiring  organization  is  contrary 
to  our  form  of  church  govern- 
ment. It  is  imperative  that 
local  employing  organizations 
act  with  appropriate  dispatch 
in  implementing  discipline 
against  administrators  who 
have  abused  the  trust  of  the 
membership.  But  if  they  don't 
we  will  not  have  a  long  range 
solution  to  the  problem  by 
asking  the  General  Con- 
ference to  assume  more  au- 
thority   then     its     charter

LINDA  HALLOCK-  One  of 
my  close  friends,  Yuri,  has 
been  sick  with  a  fever  and 
something  to  do  with  her 
pancreas  for  a  little  more  than 
a  month.  We  have   all  been 

■  quite  worried  for  her  and  have 
I  been  praying  for  her  at  every 
H  staff  meeting.  I  have  also  been 
I  praying  in  my  personal 
H   prayers.    I   was    getting    dis- 

■  couraged  and  told   the   Lord 

■  that  this  young  lady  loved  Him 

■  and  He  could  heal  her  if  it  was 
H  His  will.  I  was  going  to  do  my 
H    best  not  to   worry    and  just 

■  leave  it  in  His  hands.  The  next 
H    day  1  called  her  up  and  Praise 

■  the  Lord!  she  is  better.  This 
H    made    me    very    happy    and 

■  reminded  me   that   God   still 

■  "res  about  us  and  our 
H    hiends. 


CAROLYN  SCHOONOVER- 
A  couple  weeks  ago  I  was 
celebrating  my  birthday  with 
my  first  graders.  We  were 
having  a  party,  and  I  was  at 
J"y  desk  madly  dishing  up 
their  goodies.  When  most  had 
een  served,  I  paused  to 
I  Watch  their  enjoyment.  But  no 
one  was  eating!  All  29  of  them 
we'e  just  sitting  with  their 
°°.d  ""touched,  hands  folded. 
;'-.nimi.  l0  thank  Jesus  for  the 
",Jli  Praise  the  Lord!  They're 
I'eammgofHim. 


KEVIN  COSTELLO-  Since 
Thanksgiving  just  passed,  I 
thought  I'd  share  some  things 
I'm  most  thankful  for. 

I'm  thankful  to  God 
For  picking  me, 
To  leave  my  school 
To  be  a  missionary. 

I'm  thankful  to  God 

For  sending  me  to  Majuro, 

And  I'm  glad  that  when  He 

I  said  I  would  go. 

I'm  thankful  to  God 
For  the  kids  that  I  teach. 
They've  become  so  precious, 
And  I've  learned  to  love  them 

I'm  thankful  to  God 

For  the  things  here  that  go 

For  though  they  often  hurt, 
They    are    making    me    grow 
strong. 

And  I'm  thankful  to  God 
For  allowing  me, 
To  help  prepare  these  kids 
For  their  eternity. 


GRETCHEN  MADDOCK-  I 
suppose  the  neatest  thing  that 
happened  to  me  this  month 
was  my  little  "vacation  to 
Singapore.  It  was  really  hard 


to  believe  all  the  clean  streets 
and  traffic  all  going  in  a 
straight  line  with  no  horns 
honking.  While  there  I  did  a 
lot  of  shopping  and  even  ate  at 
Burger  King  and  McDonalds, 
which  was  absolutely  great!  It 
was  just  like  the  States.  Also, 
we  actually  got  some  vegetar- 
ian food  at  the  FEA  cafeteria. 
Well  anyway,  this  month  has 
sped  by  super  fast.  The  Lord 
has  really  blessed  us  here  in 
Jakarta.  Please  remember  us 
in  your  prayers  and  God  bless 
you  wherever  you  may  be 
reading  this.  Have  a  nice  day! 


CHERIE  BROWN-  Tomor- 
row is  Thanksgiving  so  I'd  like 
to  say  a  few  things  I'm 
especially  thankful  for:l.  That 
we  got  Thanksgiving  off.  2. 
For  all  my  Bible  students. 
They've  sure  made  me  study 
my  Bible.  I  don't  know  who's 
learned  more-them  or  me.  3. 
For  my  family  and  friends  in 
America.  And  that  by  being 
here  I've  realized  just  how 
much  I  do  love  them.  4.  For 
my  friends  here-especially 
my  best  Friend-Jesus.  5.  For 
the  10  letters  I  got  yesterday. 

6.  That  this  term's  almost  up. 

7.  That  I've  gotten  the  chance 
to  be  here  and  share  God  with 
others,  and  to  get  closer  to 
Him  myself. 


MIKE  HOWERTON-  Where, 
shall  I  start?  Should  I  tell  you 
about  the  wonderful  way  our 
new  school  here  has  come 
along  and  the  hope  we  have 
for  next  term,  or  should  I  tell 
you  about  how  the  Lord 
answered  our  prayer  about  our 
heating  problem  (the  situation 
was  impossible  from  our  view- 
point-next day,  no  problem)? 
There  are  pages  of  things  1 
could  share  with  you  all  but  I 
don't  really  have  the  time,  so 
I'll  just  say  how  wonderful  and 
good  the  Lord  has  been  to 
Dave,  Doug,  Al  and  I.  One 
thing  I  must  mention  though, 
we  are  having  three  baptisms 
on  Christmas  Day.  Hello  to  all 
my  fello  SCSDAites.  I  am 
praying  for  you! 

DEANN  BARNETT-  I'll  tell 
you  a  few  of  the  many  things 
I'm  thankful  for  this  Thanks- 
giving season.  The  first  and 
most  important  is  knowing 
I  have  the  Lord  on  my  side 
always.  Next  is  the  help  and 
encouragement  I  receive  from 
my  family.  There  is  also 
health,  friends  and  holidays. 
Thanksgiving  Day  was  defi- 
nitely different  from  the  usual 
but  the  other  SMs  and  volun- 
teers helped  to  make  it  spe- 
cial. The  typhoon  Pamela  also 
made  it  special.  But  the  Lord 
came  through  and  no  one  was

be  changing  as  certain  colleges  become  mo 
their  fight  for  survival. 

Take  a  Columbia  Union  College  ad  that 
several  academy  newspapers  in  the  Columbia  Umonnlarg 
letters  the  ad  says,  "You  don't  have  to  spend  four  years  a, 
college  working  in  a  cookie  factory."  In  smaller  type  the 
advertisement  Joes  on  to  say  tha,  "Work  experience  ,n  your 
field  makes  any  college  graduate  more  qualified.  Employe 
know  that."  CUC's 
students  got  "hanc 
hospital  a( 
and  then  were  engaged. 

How  touching.  But  the  implications  of  the  ad  are  not. 
Prospective  college  students  could  come  to  believe  that  the 
only  jobs  available  at  Southern  College  are  on  an  assembly 
line  while  CUC  has  a  monopoly  of  "practical"  jobs. 

Columbia  Union  College's  ad  couldn't  be  farther  from  the 
truth.  There  is  a  whole  spectrum  of  jobs  available  for 
students  at  Southern  College.  Students  are  working  at  local 
television  and  radio  stations,  as  accountants  for  insurance 

companies,  for  Adventist  Health  Systems/Sunbelt  as  nurses, 
accountants,  and  in  Public  Relations,  and  as  interns  in  area 
health  care  establishments.  And  the  list  goes  on  and  on. 

And  while  CUC  says  there  are  thousands  of  jobs  available, 
Southern  College  guarantees  each  student  a  job--a  job  to  help 
pay  tuition  that  is  hundreds  of  dollars  less  than  CUC. 

Maybe  that  is  why  so  many  students  from  the  Columbia 
Union  and  around  the  country  chose  Southern  College  over 
CUC.  They  know  where  they  can  get  a  good  education  and  a 
good  job  away  from  a  decaying  city  with  a  high  crime  rate. 

Thai's  the  Southern  College  difference.

Dear  Editor,  because  of  a  gut  feeling  or 

I  am  writing  in  regard  to  the  emotional  impulse  which  they 

letter  written  by  Cindy  Tor-  mistake  for  reality, 

geson  in  last  week's  Southern  Our  feelings  or  emotions  are 

Accent.    In    her    letter,    she  greatly    influenced    by 


after  looking  at  the 
cover  of  an  album  by  the  rock 
group  Black  Sabbath  a 
"strange  feeling"  came  over 
her  and  she  had  to  leave  the 
store.  Because  she  believed  a 
picture  on  the  front  of  the 
album  to  be  a  likeness  of 
Satan,  which  claims  caused 
the  "strange  feeling"  she 
concluded  that  all  rock  music 
if  "of  the  Devil."  One  of  the 
greatest  pitfalls  of  people 
(SDA's  included)  today  is  that 
so  many  of  them  come  to 
moral  conclusions  about  is- 
sues   such    as    rock    music 


ditioned  responses  and 
learned  attitudes  instilled  in 
us  by  parents,  teachers  and 
society-  These  attitudes  vary 
with  the  individual  and  there- 
fore cannot  be  relied  upon  to 
trigger  an  emotional  response 
based  on  solid  fact.  Human 
body  chemistry  changes  from 
day  to  day  and  so  a  stimilus 
which  would  cause  cold  chills 
one  day  may  not  even  affect 
the  person  the  next.  Perhaps  if 
Miss  Torgeson  had  seen  the 
album  cover  at  a  different  time 
or  in  a  different  setting  it 
might    not    have    been    dis- 


tressing to  her,  but  because 
she  was  negatively  affected  by 
the  visual  stimulus  she  has 
made  a  generalized  judge- 
ment upon  all  rock  music  and 
has  commended  the  adminis- 
tration for  banning  rock  con- 

My  point  is  not  whether  or 
not  rock  music  is  of  the  devil, 
but  whether  or  not  we  are 
substituting  emotions  for  ra- 
tional, comprehensive  reason- 
ing. Religion  and  Christianity 
are  not  based  on  sensation- 
alism and  emotions,  but  on 
our  God  given  ability  to  use 
our  minds  to  make  moral 
judgements.

Letters  .  .  .  con't.  from  p.  2. 

the  letter  was  no  doubt  over- 
come by  emotion  when  she 
wrote  it.  I  can  think  of  dozens 
of  rock  bands  that  will  have 
nothing  to  do  with  the  devil.  A 
person  has  the  power  of 
choice,  and  can  decide  for 
himself,  without  the  help  of 
others,  what  type  of  music  is 
best  for  him.  He  also  can 
decide  what  type  of  literature 
to  read,  and  what  type  of 
painting  to  look  at.  Does  one 
condemn  Leonardo  DaVinci 
simply  because  he  was  homo- 
sexual? I  am  not  going  to 
condemn  a  person  for  listen- 


ing to  country  music,  nor  will  I 
condemn  anyone  for  listening 
to  any  kind  of  music.  It's  just 
when  people  try  to  generalize 
rock  music  as  being  com- 
pletely bad  that  all  logic  is 
done  away  with.  To  say  that 
Barry  Mantlow  is  okay  while 
putting  down  a  group  like  Van 
Halen  shows  me  the  narrow 
mindedness  that  some  people 
have.  Perhaps  this  is  one  of 
the  reasons  why  75  percent  of 
the  children  born  SDA's  leave 
the  church.

Dear  Editor, 

I  really  want  to  send  a  group 
of  students  a  balloon  bouquet, 
but  since  only  a  few  would  see 
it,  I'll  write  a  letter  so  my 
compliments  might  have 
wider  circulation.  The  people 
receiving  the  bouquet  would 
be  this  year's  Student  Asso- 
ciation Officers. 

When  I  was  asked  last  spring 
to  be  the  SA  Sponsor  for  Social 
Activities,  I  accepted  with  only 
mild  enthusiasm,  my  "yes" 
coming  mainly  as  a  result  of 
knowing  Patti  Stone,  the  so- 
cial Activities  Student 
Director. 

Although  this  year  is  not  yet 
over,  I  have  witnessed  enough 
of  the  SA's  dedication  to 
remember  a  few  specifics:  the 
two  banquets  the  SA  has 
sponsored  have  been  two  of 
the  most  outstanding  I've  ever 
attended,  as  either  a  student 
or  as  a  faculty  member,  a 
memorable  blend  of  fantasy, 
elegance,  music,  entertain- 
ment, food,  and  romance  (how 
can  anyone  "top"  the  72nd 
floor  of  the  Peach  Tree?);  the 
fall  picnic  with  its  blend  ot 
old-fashioned  activities- -the 
relay  races  and  egg  throws- 


and  modern  entertainment- 
the  hot  air  balloon  rides;  the 
mixture  of  tradition  and  con- 
temporary at  the  SA's  first  big 
event,  the  School's  birthday 
party;  the  numerous  attempts 
at  sparking  school  spirit  by 
promoting  various  social  get- 
togethers  with  hot  chocolate 
and  dozens  of  donuts.  Wes- 
tern day  and  dress-up  day, 
indoor  films  and  outside  live 


Yes,  I  have  more  than  mildly 
enjoyed  sponsoring  these 
activities.  The  creativity  in 
planning,  the  time  spent  in 
organizing,  the  responsibility 
accepted  for  less-then-glam- 
orous behind-the-scenes  jobs- 
all  make  me  realize  once  again 
that  our  5A  has  done  an 
outstanding  job.  And  I'm 
proud  to  call  its  officers  my 
friends,  especially  vivacious 
Patti  Stone,  whose  untiring 
imagination  and  endless 
efforts  as  Social  Activities 
Director  have  made  this  a 
more  "social"  year  for  us  all. 

Sincerely, 

Dr.  Wilma  McClarty

Dear  Editor, 

In  the  second  column  of  the 
front  page  of  the  Southern 
Accent  for  March  10  it  was 
stated  that  Dr.  Hefferlin  had 
been  voted  a  sabbatical  leave 
"for  next  year  so  that  he  can 
go  to  the  Soviet  Union." 

Please  note  that  (1)  "next 
year"  means  1984-1985,  not 
W-1984.  (2)  going  to  the 
Soviet  Union  will  be  for  the 
continuation  of  science  work  of 
previous  visits,  and  (3)  going 
to  the  Soviei  Union  is  a 
^nnplex  and   protracted    pro- 


cess, depending  on  peer  re- 
view, funds  available  to  the 
National  Academy  of  Sci- 
ences, the  political  climate, 
and  other  factors. 

I  am  grateful  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees  for  the  vote,  and  for 
the  opportunity  to  participate, 
with  students  here,  in  the 
research  project  of  the  Physics 
Department.  I  am  also  grate- 
ful for  (he  continued  help  and 
encouragement  of  Dr.  Henry 
Kuhlman. 

Respectfully  yours, 
Rav  Hefferlin 


Hospital      proposal 
examined 


Representatives  from  the 
state  Health  Facilities  Com- 
mission heard  arguments  on 
March  8  concerning  the  pro- 
posed East  Hamilton  Medical 
Center  on  Apison  Pike  in 
Collegedale. 

Jan  Rushing  told  the  com- 
mission that  the  new  $12.7 
million  hospital  would  serve  a 
"growing  and  underserved" 
population  and  solve  the 
problem  of  the  30-minute 
drive  from  the  Collegedale 
area  to  downtown 

Chattanooga  where    most   of 
the  area  hospitals  are  located. 

Opponents  of  the  hospital 
cited  overbedding.  duplication 
of  services,  and  rising  health 
care  costs  as  reasons  for 
rejection    of    the    Adventist 

Health  System/Sunbelt 
project. 

Stanton,  Smith,  former 
member  of  the  Georgia- 
Tennessee    Regional    Health 


Commission  Board  lead  the 
opposition  to  the  proposed 
76-bed  hospital.  "There  is  an 
excess  of  200  beds  in  the 
area,"  Mr.  Smith  said.  "The 
cost  of  maintaining  just  one 
empty  bed  ranges  from 
$30,000-560,000  a  year. 
"Adding  another  76  beds  will 
increase  the  health  care  costs 
in  this  community  by  2-5 
million  dollars  per  year.  I 
appreciate  the  good  intentions 
and  the  concern...  but  it's  not 
enough  reason  to  overload  the 
health  care  system. 

Other  opponents  cited  the 
impact  on  occupancy  at 
established,  in-town  facilities 
while  others  cited  the  excess 
pressures  exerted  on  hospitals 
by  unnecessary  beds  and 
exhorbitant  costs. 

Mr.    Rushing,    Mayor    of 
Collegedale  and  a  AHS/Sun- 
told  the  com- 
that  "a  new  hospital. 


sized  properly,  will  have  no 
adverse  economic  impact  on 
surrounding  hospitals. 
"Red  Bank.  Hixson.  and  East 
Ridge  have  all  built  hospitals. 
We   find  ourselves   facing   a 

population." 

Don  Self,  a  spokesman  for 
Adventist  Health  Systems  told 
the  Southern  Accent  that  they 
were  "quite  pleased"  with  the 
overall  impact  of  the  hearing. 
"We  feel  we  presented  our 
side  effective. ' '   Self  said. 

Self  said  he  expects  the 
Health  Facilities  Commission 
to  approve  the  project  but  it 
the  application  is  not  granted, 
"the  decision  will  be 
appealed.  "Sooner  or  later." 
Self  added,  "there  will  be  a 
hospital  in  this  part  of  the 
country.   If  not  this  time,  next 


Haggai       to      speak 


Dr.  Tom  Haggai  will  talk

4/SOUTHERN  ACCENT/March  17.  1983 


owilson   discusses  Davenport 


On  January  4,  the  General 
Conference  officers  voted  to 
accept  the  Presidential  Review 
Commission's  report  concern- 
ing the  Davenport  affair  in 
which  the  church  lost  about  18 
million  dollars  in  principal  and 
3  million  dollars  in  back 
interest.  One  of  the  recom- 
mendations of  the  commission 
was  to  print  the  names  of  all 
those  who  were  being  dis- 
ciplined in  the  Adventist  Re- 

However.  on  February  24, 
the  GC  officials  reversed  their 
position  on  the  printing  of  the 
names  and  decided  not  .to 
release  them  publicly. 
In  response  to  the  many 
questions  that  were  raised 
because  of  the  officials'  deci- 
sion, Elder  Wilson  was  inter- 
viewed on  a  call-in  talk  show 
on  the  Adventist  Radio  Net- 
Here  are  exc.-rpts  from  that 
conversation. 

Is  this  more  o]  a   business 

On  the  surface,  the  Lavenport 
affair  does  have  the  appear- 
ance of  a  financial  item.  We 
are  talking  about  loans  and 
investments,  bankruptcy,  con- 
flict of  interest  and  the  light. 
But    really    it    is    far    more 
inclusive.  The  real  issue  is  not 
money  but  confidence  or  lack 
of  it  in  church  organization. 
When  1  hear  that  some  of  my 
hrothers    and   sisters   in   the 
church  are  angry  with  me  and 
the    church    and    are    en- 
chanted  to  the   point   where 
they  might  not  wish  to  worship 
or  to  go  to  church,  even  to  the 
point  of  withholding  financial 
support,   1   know   people   are 
hurting.  If  there  is  anything  1 
or  anyone  else  can  do  to  help, 
to  communicate,   to  heal,   to 
minister,   I'd   say   it   is   fully 
compatible  with  Sabbathkeep- 
ing. 

"people  are 
hurting." 


publishing  names  was  not  a 
good  method  of  discipline. 
Using  public  humiliation  be- 
gan To  appear  less  and  less 
desireable.  We  came  to  a  very- 
clear  opinion  that  this  was  not 
a    good    direction    to    go. 

Does  public  sin  require  pub- 
lic review? 

We  have  to  make  a  public 
rebuke  at  times.  I  do  think  we 
need  to  balance  that,  however, 
rather  than  rebuke,  repent- 
ance is  a  far  greater  thing.  If 
you  can  get  an  individual  to 
recognize  his  or  her  mistake 
and  get  him  to  make  a  public 
confession  you  have  gone 
much  farther. 

We  do  not  feel  that  the 
majority  of  the  people  in- 
volved with  the  Davenport 
affair  are  great  sinners.  How- 
ever, we  do  feel  unhappy  over 
this  matter  because  it  has 
brought  universal  shame  and 
humiliation  to  us  and  we  are 
concerned  about  that. 


J 


What  changed  the  officers' 
minds  between  January  4  and 
February  24? 


First,  there  were  lengthy  de- 
liberations that  took  place. 
There  were  theological  con- 
siderations, historical  matters 
taken  into  account,  and 
emotional  factors.  The  com- 
mittee was  also  briefed  as  to 
certain  legal  implications  that 
need  to  be  kept  in  mind. 
Taking  all  these  into  account, 
we  begin  to  feel  that  perhaps 


What  vehicle  do  we  have 
planned  to  allow  these  con- 
stituencies and  committees  ac- 
cess to  the  investigative  mate- 
rial so  that  a  judgement  can  be 

At  least  two  officers  of  the 
North  American  Division  or 
the  General  Conference  will 
be  at  each  of  these  meetings  to 
present  the  background  with 
the  documentation  to  the  full 
group  concerning  any  kind  of 
discipline  that  they  feel  is 
warranted  and  the  reason  for 
that.  In  that  case,  there  will  be 
a  clear  indication  so  the  mem- 
bers will  have  sufficient  basis 
to  do  this  (discipline). 
We  believe  this  will  be  helpful 
and  we  believe  it  is  the  best 
way  at  this  time.  When  all  the 
facts  are  on  the  table,  it  brings 
us  very  close  together. 

Will  the  discipline  actually  be 
carried  out  by  the  local  board 
In  fact  can  it  be  carried  out  if 
many  of  those  indicted  are 
surrounded  by  boards  and 
committees  who  are  their 
peers  and  friends? 
I  would  like  to  believe  that 
individuals  that  serve  on 
boards  and  committees  are 
there  because  they  recognize 
the  sacredness  of  that  par- 
ticular trust.  1  believe  in  my 
heart  and  soul  that  in  the 
majority  of  cases,  they  will 
handle  it  responsibly. 


The  information  that  was 
gathered  for  us  was  not  neces- 
sarily to  be  used  as  a  vehicle 
for  discipline.  It  was  originally 
done  for  two  reasons.  One  was 
to  get  a  total  and  complete 
picture  brought  together  by  a 
law  firm  and  a  CPA  firm  so 
that  we  would  know  what  our 
legal  exposure  might  be.  The 
other  reason  was  that  we  had 
to  build  a  wall  of  protection  for 
ourselves  because  there  were 
individuals  seeking  to  es- 
tablish the  fact  that  the  Sev- 
enth-day Adventist  church 
was  perhaps  in  collusion  with 
Dr.  Davenport,  that  we  were 
his  agents,  and  that  we  were 
in  partnership. 

"this  matter. ..has 
brought  universal 
shame..." 

While  we  will  be  willing  to 
release  material  concerning  a 
specific  situation,  we  are  very 
reluctant  to  release  the  whole 
•  document  until  this  matter  is 
put  to  rest. 


It  was  stated  that  the  current 
position  on  releasing  the 
names  was  taken  so  local  con- 
ferences and  boards  could 
deal  with  the  problems  in  their 
areas.  Is  it  impossible  for  local 
conferences  to  deal  with  per- 
sons that  have  moved  into  the 
area  from    other    involved 


had  to  move  to  a  separate 
conference  and  that  con- 
ference kas  no  part  of  the 
Davenport  matter? 
The  General  Conference  has 
already  indicated  that  they 
are  willing  to  discipline  an 
individual  who  did,  in  our 
judgement  and  based  on  the 
facts,  fail  in  carrying  out  his 
responsibility  as  an  officer. 
We  have  already  taken  an 
action  of  administrative  rep- 
rimand for  being  derelict  in 
administrative  responsibility. 
We  are  a  church  body.  We  are 
not  entirely  isolated  and  we 
have  to  work  together  in 
resolving  mutual  church  prob- 
lems. 

The  statement  was  made  by  a 
high  church  official  that  the 
General  Conference  has 
■  awesome ' '  powers  and  could 
disband  a  union  or  conference 
if  it  failed  to  take  proper 
action.  Could  you  expand  on 
this  possibility? 
If  a  union  were  to  be  in 
rebellion  against  the  church, 
that  union  could  be  voted  out 
of  the  General  Conference  at  a 
General  Conference  session. 
That  is  the  only  way  we  have 
to  disband  a  union. 


/  understand  that  the  General 
Conference  has  asked  some  of 
our  union  officials  to  resign 
but  they  declined  to  do  so.  I'm 
wondering  if  this  is  c 


Will  there  be  any  availabiltv 
to  the  laity  of  the  audit  report 
produced  by  a  national  CPA 


You  have  posed  a  very  real 
and  very  valid  kind  of  concern 
that  we  have  faced.  We  feel 
that  when  boards  and  com- 
mittees have  heard  the  facts, 
they  ought  to  be  in  a  position 
to  state  whether  they  believe 
some  kind  of  discipline  is 
indicated.  1  know  it  is  putting 
a  great  deal  on  a  committee, 
but  these  are  some  of  the 
things  that  we  need  to  face  as 
we  think  of  the  good  of  the 
whole  rather  than  our  particu- 
lar location. 

Will  the  General  Conference 
consider  getting  involved  in 
some  of  those  situations? 
We  will  be  involved  in  each 
one  of  them.  There  will  be  a 
mix  of  officers  from  the  North 
American  Division  and  the 
General  Conference  at  each  of 
these  locations  when  matters 
of  discipline  are  taken  up. 
Together  we  will  be  able  to 
find  our  way  through  it. 

Is  it  proper  for  the  General 
Conference  to  do  the  dis- 
ciplining of  somebody  who  has 


'  Officials  in  the  General  Con- 
ference knew  that  unions  and 
conferences  had  investments 
with  Davenport.  Yet  very  little 
was  done.  Is  it  because  of  the 
failure  of  the  business  [Daven- 
port] that  these  people  are 
being  tried? 

It  is  true  that  we  were  aware  of 
the  loans  being  made  to  the 
real    estate    investment    pro- 
gram of  Dr.  Davenport.  At  the 
time,  it  seemed  they  were  very 
profitable,   financially.   There 
were   many   individuals    who 
became  intoxicated  with  this 
and  felt  it  was  going  to  go  on 
forever.  In  1968  the  General 
Conference    took    an    action 
clearly  setting   forth   specific 
guidelines  that  should  be  met. 
Meetings  were  held  beginning 
in  1971  on  through  1978  where 
the  union  treasurers  and  trust 
officers  in  North  America  were 
brought  together.   Each  time 
they  went  over  these  matters 
and  caution  was  given. 
We    set    up    guidelines    that 
were  straight  enough  so,  had 
they   been   followed,    nobody 
would  have  invested  anything 
with  Dr.  Davenport. 
It  was  unfortunate  that  things 
seemed  to  be  going  so  well  for 
a  while  that  those  who  should 
have  been   the   enforcers    of 
policy,  simply  disregarded  it. 
As  a  result,  we  are  all  paying  a 
price.  We  all  must  share  some 
of  the  responsibility. 


At  this  point,  we  have  not 
asked  anyone  to  resign, 
though  1  am  not  going  to  say 
that  we  may  not  give  that 
counsel  to  some  as  we  have 
further  opportunity  to  discuss 
it  with  them. 


Could  it  be  possible  that  the 
church  policy  of  using  the  tithe 
to  be  invested  is  not  in 
harmony  with  the  Bible  or  the 
Spirit  of  Prophecy? 
It  is  not  the  policy  of  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist  church 
to  invest  tithe  money  in  stocks 
or  bonds  or  real  estate.  We 
felt  extremely  unhappy  when 
we  found  that  5700,000- 
5800,000  was  tithe  money. 
This  money  should  never  have 
been  invested  in  this  type  of 
thing. 

What  action  is  contemplated 
if  the  recommendations  are 
not  followed  by  the  local 
conferences?  Can  we  expect 
that  there  will  be  a  compliance 
report  within  the  next  few 
months? 

We  are  willing  to  follow  this 
thing  through  to  its  ultimate 
conclusion.  If  a  committee,

SCENE  1  {Johnny  is  3  years 
old  and  on  his  way  to  Sabbath 
School  with  his  parents.) 

JOHNNY:  "Dad,  I  don't  have 
any  offering." 

DAD:  "Here  you  are, 
Johnny"  (Dad  gives  him  15 
cents.  He  grasps  it  in  his  tiny 
fist  and  in  his  other  fist  is  a 
handful  of  Loma  Linda  food 
labels.) 

MOTHER:  "Don't  lose  the 
money  this  time,  Johnny.  Do 
you  remember  who  the  money 
is  for?" 


JOHNNY:  (stumbling  over  a 
chair  and  bumping  Becky  on 
his  way  to  the  mission  boat,  he 
drops  his  money  into  the  boat 
from  over  his  head  so  he  can 
hear  the  pennies  drop  and 
returns  to  his  seat.) 


DAD:        "That     is 
Johnny." 

SCENE  2  (Johnny  in 
School) 

TEACHER:  Okay,  Boys  and 
Girls,  it  is  time  to  give  money 
to  Jesus  so  all  of  you  come  up 
and  put  your  offering  in  the 
little  mission  boat  when  the 
music  begins  to  play. 

(Music  -  "Hear  the  Pennies 
Dropping") 


JOHNNY:   (raises  his  hand) 

TEACHER:  Good  for  you, 
Johnny,  would  you  like  to 
come  up  and  put  them  into  the 
elephant's  mouth. 

JOHNNY:  (nodding  his  head, 
he  walks  up  and  shoves  his 
fistful  of  labels  into  the  gaping 
hole  under  the  elephants 
trunk.) 

TEACHER:  Boys  and  Girls, 
you  should  remember  to  bring 
your  labels,  too,  so  there  can 
be  more  money  for  the  mission 
field.

JOHN:     No,  you  didn't  give 

DAD:  Isn't  it  about  time  you 
gave  some  of  your  own 
money? 

JOHN:  Hey,  I  am  not  making 
that  much  at  the  VM  and  you 
want  me  to  pay  on  my  school 
bill. 

DAD:    Here,  take  this. 

JOHN:   25  cents? 

DAD:  That  is  all  the  change  I 
have  today.

my  bill.

SCENE  D  (John  in  the  Youth 
Sabbath  School) 

TEACHER:  Okay,  come  on, 
everybody,  sit  down  and  be 
quiet.  Has  the  envelope  been 
around  yet? 

SUE:   I  haven't  gotten  it  yet. 

TEACHER:    Where  is  it? 

BILL:    I  have  it. 

TEACHER:  Give  it  to  Sue, 
please. 


ACT  III  (John  is  a  college 
student  and  he  is  attending 
Sabbath  School.  The  super- 
intendent is  calling  for  the 
offering. 

SUPERINTENDENT:  Now  it 
is  time  for  the  offering.  Last 
week  we  received  an  average 
of  34  cents  per  person.  It 
seems  to  me  that  we  could  do 
better  than  that.  1  would  like 
to  read  to  you  this  quotation 
about  offerings.  (As  she 
begins  to  read  John  begins 
talking  to  his  neighbor) 

JOHN:  Hey.  are  you  going  to 
the  banquet  in  Atlanta? 

BILL:  Are  you  kidding? 
Where  am  I  going  to  come  u 
with  the  money? 


BILL:  Where  are  you  coming 
up  with  that  much  money? 

JOHN:  I  have  saved  it!  You 
know,  "a  penny  saved  is  a 
penny  earned." 

BILL:  Ok.  it  is  a  deal!  I  hate 
to  go  into  debt  but  that  is 
going  to  be  a  good  banquet. 

ACT  IV  (John  is  married  and 
sitting  in  church  with  his  wife 
of  one  year) 

ELDER:  Now,  friends,  you 
know  that  God  loveth  a  cheer- 
ful giver  and  we  need  some 
cheertoday,  so  let  us  all  give  a 
generous  offering  so  that  the 
work  of  the  Lord  may  progress 
throughout  the  world.  The 
Deacons  will  now  wait  on  you. 

(The  Deacons  begin  moving 
up  and  down  the  aisles.) 

JOHN:  (to  his  new  wife)  Do 
you  have  any  change?

the  highest  praise  for  them.

Elder  Jerry  Morgan  of 
Collegedale,  TN,  will  be  the 
featured  speaker  at  the 
bi-annual  Nursing  Dedication 
to  be  held  this  Sabbath  at  6:30 
p.m.  Morgan  will  be  speaking 
to  approximately  70  nursing 
students  in  the  Collegedale 
church. 

Other  guests  will  include  the 
Wives  of  the  Gideons,  who 
will  give  white  New  Testa- 
ments to  each  student 
dedicated. 

Special  music  and  lighted 
candles  help  to  make  this 
occasion  important  for  nursing 
students  and  their  families. 
This  program  takes  the  place 
of  a  capping  ceremony  that 
was  formerly  held  on  this 
campus  and  is  still  used  by 
nursing  schoolr 


The  Southernaires,  under  the 
direction  of  Ron  Qualley,  will 
perform  the  National  Anthem, 
as  arranged  by  Southern  Col- 
lege's Cynthia  Patterson,  at 
the  start  of  the  Hawk's  game 
with  the  Philadelphia  76ers. 

According  to  Qualley,  it  was 
through  a  conversation  with 
Mark  Sellers,  the  Director  of 
Group  Sales  for  the  NBA  team 
that  the  engagement  was 
made.  "We've  ordered  tickets 
through  Mark  for  the  last 
three  years,"  Qualley  said. 
"When  1  presented  the  idea 
(of  singing  the  anthem),  Sel- 
lers liked  it  right  away." 

Sellers  in  turn  expressed  his 
appreciation  by  inviting  the 
Southern  College  Band  to 
perform  during  the  halftime 
intermission,  and  calling  the 


April  12  date  "Southern  Col- 
lege Night." 
The  game  will  receive  broad- 
cast coverage  on  both  radio 
and  television  stations,  begin- 
ning at  7:30  on  WTBS  Channel 
17  TV  and  WTTB  750  AM 
radio  in  Atlanta.

61      Nurses      dedica  ted 


Campbell  and  Associates, 
Inc.,  a  Chattanooga  engineer- 
ing firm,  has  been  on  the 
campus  of  Southern  College 
conducting  a  survey  concern- 
ing energy  usage  and  waste. 

Because  the  college  spends 
over  a  million  dollars  a  year 
for  utilities,  this  survey  was 
requested  to  help  find  ways  to 
lower  this  cost. 

It  is  possible  that  a  special 
system  will  be  necessary  to 
automatically  control  all 
lights,  water  heaters,  fans,  air 
conditioners,  elevators,  etc. 
that  needlessly  waste  energy 
in  various  places  on  campus. 
The  system  will  operate  from 
a  central  computer  and  will 
automatically  shut-down  such 
energy-consuming        devices 


during    certain     times,     like 
vacations  and  summer. 

Besides  the  system,  other 
energy-saving  ideas  have 
been  suggested,  such  as  in- 
sulating and  burying  steam 
pipes,  and  controlling  lights 
by  a  photo  cell. 

"This  system  could  take 
anywhere  from  3  months  to  1 
year  to  install  and  is  going  to 
cost,"  states  Rodney  Dupree, 
a  representative  of  the  firm. 
"But  we  won't  know  anything 
for  sure  until  the  middle  of 
April." 

It  is  possible  that  this  project 
could  be  financed  up  to  50% 
by  the  Department  of  Energy, 
if  deemed  worthwhile.  How- 
ever, nothing  can  be  decided 
until  the  research  is  finished. 


Sixty- one  first  semester 
nursing  students  were  dedi- 
cated before  an  assembly  of 
families  and  friends  in  the 
Collegedale  church  on  Satur- 
day, March  14. 

Elder  Jerry  Morgan,  youth 
pastor  at  the  Collegedale 
Seventh-day  Adventist 

church,  was  chosen  by  the 
class  to  be  the  speaker. 
"Somehow,  the  nursing  pro- 
fession has  been  recognized  as 
very  special,"  Morgan  said. 
"Nurses  ...  are  set  aside  and 
consecrated  to  a  divine  and 
sacred  purpose.  Yet  if  I  was 
going  to  dedicate  myself  to 
something,"  he  added,  "I 
better  be  able  to  enjoy  it  for 
the  next  40  plus  years.  Too 
often  once  we  get  on  the  job, 
we  find  that  reality  is  a  long 
way  from  idealism."  Morgan 
then  shared  some  steps  on 
how  to  avoid  job  burnout. 

1.  Learn  how  to  be 
dissatisfied  with  your  per- 
formance so  you  will  continue 
to  grow. 

.  2.  Learn  to  think  in 
Principles  and  not  just  in  facts. 

■*■  Look  for  and  grow  with 
evaluation. 

4.     Learn  to  expand  your 
education.     Go  beyond  .    .   . 
Don't      limit      yourself 
nursing.       Become 
rounded  person. 

•"closing,  Morgan  challenged 
the  nurses.  "Today  you  are 
6°>ng  to  be  dedicated.     My 


hope  is  that  : 
you  and  say,  'there  is  some- 
thing special  about  that 
nurse.'  That  is  what  I  call 
dedication." 

During  the  program,  several 
members  of  the  class  per- 
formed musical  selections  and 
a  representative  from  Gideon 
International  presented  the 
class  with  a  small  white  New 
Testament.  Elvie  Swinson 
then  called  roll  and  each 
student  rose  to  light  his 
candle.  Encircling  the  dark- 
ened church  with  their  lighted 
candles,  the  class  recited  the 
Nightingale  Pledge  to  commit 
their  lives  to  purity  and  the 
faithful  practice  of  nursing. 


The  program  closed  with  the 
nurses  singing  their  class 
song,  "What  a  Friend  We 
Have  in  Jesus." 

Ellen  Gilbert,  Nursing  Divi- 
sion Chairman,  told  the  South- 
ern Accent  that  having  a 
dedication  and  not  a  nurse's 
capping  is  a  tradition.  "We 
prefer  to  call  it  a  dedication 
because  we  have  more  of  a 
spiritual  emphasis  than  an 
emphasis  on  apparel." 

Colleen  Barrow  suggested 
that  the  capping  ceremony 
was  done  away  with  because 
of  the  increasing  number  of 
male  nursing  students.  The 
Semester's  class  had  15  men, 
the  highest  number  ever. 


Canadian    Brass    coming 


TO  ^\^         byOlckSird 

The  Canadian  Brass,  an 
internationally-known  brass 
ensemble,  will  perform  in 
concert  on  Saturday  night, 
March  26,  at  8:00  p.m.  in 
Southern  College's  Physical 
Education  Center.    . 

Throughout  the  musical 
world  the  Canadian  Brass 
have  gained  a  reputation  for 
forming  new  paths  into  un- 
charted areas  of  music  for 
brass.  Since  their  formation  in

well- 


The  Adventist  Intercollegiate 
Association  will  hold  its  an- 
nual convention  at  Andrews 
University  from  April  1-4. 
Student  Association  officers 
from  10  of  the  Adventist 
colleges  in  the  United  States 
will  meet  to  discuss  problems 
they  had  as  student  leaders, 
and  ways  to  solve  them,  and 
attend  training  workshops  on 
practical  subjects. 

AIA  has  come  under  fire  from 
some  SA  officers  in  recent 
years  because  of  a  lack  of 
direction  and  practical  use- 
fullness.  Mike  Seaman,  AIA 
President  and  '82  SMC  grad- 
uate, vigorously  defended  his 
organization.  "This  year  we 
have  been  rebuilding  AIA," 
Seaman  told  the  Southern 
Accent.     "We  have  re-estab- 


lish stronger  ties  among  the 
SA  officers  and  have  proposals 
to  establish  communication 
among  officers.  We  have 
started  to  work  on  a  proposal 
with  the  North  America  Divi- 
sion to  establish  a  student  loan 
program  for  students  at 
Adventist  schools,  one  of  our 
greatest  achievements," 
Seaman  emphasized,  "de- 
veloping a  convention  that 
meets  the  original  purpose  of 
AIA--a  lot  of  training  instead 
of  just  discussion  on  how  to 
improve  AIA." 

Other  SA  officers  have 
questioned  the  usefulness  of 
AIA  in  relationship  to  its  cost. 
Seaman,  however,  contends 
the  cost  is  minimal.  "AIA 
costs  each  SA  19  cents  per 
full-time  equivalant  student. 


The  AIA  total  dues  for  South- 
ern College  is  about  $100  for 
the  whole  year. 

The  biggest  costs  of  the 
convention  are  paid  by  the 
sponsoring  college  or  univer- 
sity and  not  by  the  Student 
Association. 

"I  will  admit,"  Seaman  said, 
"that  the  AIA  convention  has 
not  been  worth  the  money  in 
the  past  but  we  are  hoping  to 
eliminate  that  problem." 

Joseph  Robertson,  Southern 
College's  SA  Vice-President, 
also  is  optimistic  about  AIA. 
"AIA  has  improved  in  organi- 
zation and  structure, ' '  he 
stated.  "Under  the  leadership 
of  Mike  Seaman,  the  con- 
vention will  be  far  more 
worthwhile  and  well  worth  our 
money." 


virtuosity  and  ensemble  play- 
ing of  remarkable  unanimity," 
the  Canadian  Brass  have  per- 
formed in  Canada  and  the 
U.S.,  as  well  as  Europe, 
China,  Japan,  Saudi  Arabia, 
and  the  Soviet  Union.  In  1977. 
the  Brass  became  the  first 
Western  musical  ensemble  to 
cross  the  Chinese  border,  as 
part  of  a  cultural  exchange 
program  arranged  by 
Canada's  Prime  Minister 
Pierre  Trudeau. 

The  Canadian  Brass  have 
recently  signed  a  contract  with 
CBS  Masterworks.  arranged 
cross-over  material,  in  addi- 
tion to  their  classical  interpre- 
tations. Their  first  record  is  to 
be  released  in  the  next  few 
months. 

The  group  is  made  up  of  five 
classically-trained  musicians: 
Frederic  Mills  and  Ronald 
Romm  (trumpets),  Graeme 
Page  (French  horn),  Eugene 
Watts  (trombone),  and 
Charles  Daellenbach  (tuba). 
Their  repertoire  ranges  from 
the  classical  works  of  Bach. 
Handel,  and  Purcell,  to  rag- 
time  works  by  Jelly  Roll  {j 
Morton  and  Scott  Joplin.  the 
avant-garde  works  of  Lukas 
Foss,  and  the  hits  of  Fats 
Waller. 

"We  believe  it  is  our 
responsibility  to  bring  the 
audience  to  the  music,  rather 
than  the  music  to  the  audi- 
ence," says  Charles 
Daellenbach.

What     i  s    a

news  pap  e  r  ? 

Exactly  what  constitutes  a  "Christian"  newspaper?  Is  the 
Accent  a  "Christian"  newspaper  just  because  Southern 
College  is  a  Christian  college?  Or  is  it  a  "Christian"  paper 
because  the  staff  and  content  make  it  way? 

I  believe  that  a  newspaper  is  considered  "Christian" 
because  of  the  views  of  its  staff,  and  in  that  way  the  content 
is  affected.  However,  this  does  not  mean  that  everything 
that  is  printed  in  the  Accent  has  to  be  totally  religious  and 


r  tliL- 


s  in  the  Letters  section  is 
i  their  school  paper.  This 
■  through  those  letters, 


Letting  the  students  a 
one  way  of  getting  student  input  i) 
has  caused  several  debates  to  oc 

but  this  too  is  good.  It  is  better  than  the  apathy  that  is  so 
prevalent  on  this  and  other  Christian  college  campuses.  As 
long  as  the  editorial  policy  is  to  print  every  letter  we  receive, 
providing  we  have  the  space,  then  we  will  print  it.  The 
editorial  staff  does  not  discriminate  between  letters,  and  the 
way  an  order  is  decided  upon  is  mostly  dependant  upon 
avaiable  space  and  layout  rules. 

It  may  be  that  this  section  is  being  taken  advantage  of.  But 
if  it  is,  then  censorship  of  letters  will  be  the  only  way  to  keep 
the  Letters  "kosher."  If  a  letter  is  printed  that  is  offensive  to 
some  students,  then  they  should  be  allowed  to  write  letters  in 
response.  If  censorship  is  required  to  keep  the  newspaper 
"Christian",  then  we  might  as  well  do  away  with  the  Letters 
section  totally. 

I  am  not  sure  that  this  is  the  answer.  Perhaps  my  view  of  a 
Christian  newspaper  is  false.  If  it  is.  then  maybe  we  should 
use  censorship  in  our  paper.  I  don't  think  it  is,  though,  and 
I'm  willing  to  bet  that  most  of  the  students  don't  think  so 
either. 

A  "Christian"  newspaper  should  represent  high  ideals  and 
standards,  but  an  editor's  personal  views  whould  not  stand  in 
the  way  of  presenting  the  news.  I  have  the  Editorial  section. 
You  have  the  Letters.

Dear  Editor, 

After  reading  your  editorial 
in  last  weeks'  Accent,  I  was 
very  impressed  with  the  clar- 
ity and  truths  of  your  state- 
Southern  College,  with  its 
tradition  of  fine  academic 
performance,  attracts  stu- 
dents from  around  the  world. 
Students  come  for  many 
reasons  including  advanced 
educational  facilities,  guar- 
anteed job  placement  and  a 
wide    variety    of    internships 


(which  some  colleges  call 
"hands-on"  experience).  But 
there's  more-much  more  to 
Southern.  Take  for  example 
the  campus  which  has  more 
green  grass  than  chipped  de- 
caying sidewalks,  the  baseball 
fields,  the  dormitories  which 
are  modern  and  don't  have 
temperamental,  spastic  fire 
alarms  that  sound  several 
times  per  weekend.  Take  for 
example  the  dormitory  deans 
who  are  friendly  and  want  to 
find  out  who  you  are  and  ask  if 


they  can  help  you  in  some 
way.  Take  for  example  the 
high  caliber  of  the  professors 
and  support  personnel  here  at 
Southern.  Also  consider  the 
comfortable,  relaxed  atmos- 
phere of  the  college,  exam 
week  not  withstanding. 

Does  it  sound  too  good  to  be 
true?  Well,  that  is  the 
Southern  College  difference. 


Dear  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  reply  to  the 
suggestion  in  the  March  17 
Accent  ("Speak  Up")  that 
what  Southern  College  needs 
to  boost  school  spirit  are 
fraternities,  sororities  and  in- 
tercollegiate sports.  I  do  not 
know  whether  the  one  ad- 
vocating these  views  has  at- 
tended a  public  university 
where  such  activities  abound 
but  I  have.  The  University  of 
Iowa  (Iowa  City)  boasts  more 
than  a  dozen  fraternity  and 
sorority  houses  separate  from 
its  charming  co-ed  dorms 
(where  Daily  l0yian  reports  of 
prankster  fires  and  youthful 
sex  are  frequent).  One  fra- 
ternity knew  the  citv  police 
quite  well,  for  they  had  busted 
the  place  twice  to  make  arrests 
for  selling  beer  to  minors. 
Others  featured  all-night  par- 
ties, bizarre  and  even  life- 
threatening  initiation  rites 
and  copies  of  teachers' exams 
and  former  students'  research 
papers  at  bargain  prices.  One 
non-Chnstian  student  told  me 
she  had  refused  her  mother's 
Pto.join  .a  sorority  s,atin8 


that  she  wished  to  preserve 
her  virginity.  A  sorority  gal  in 
one  class  1  taught  broke  her 
leg  in  a  wild  fraternity-sorority 
lawn  party;  another  fraternity 
chap  turned  in  a  paper  which 
he  had  finished  while  "under 
the  influence  of"  (quite  evi- 
dent on  his  breath)-it  was 
pure  balderdash.  A  third-this 
one  a  super-spirited  sports 
jock  for  the  Hawk's  wrestling 
team-handed  in  a  purchased 
(S3.00  per  page)  term  paper: 
my  exposure  of  his  fraud  went 
all  the  way  to  the  Dean  of  the 
College-but  because  he  was  a 
star  on  the  team,  they  slapped 
his  hand  with  an  F  and  kept 

Sports  and  school  spirit-is 
that  when  the  crowd  shouts 
themselves  hoarse  on  Satur- 
day afternoon  because  of  the 
"spirit"  they  find  in  liquid 
torm  in  those  pocket  flasks 
Hawk  s  fans  are  famous  for? 
0r  is  that  shown  by  phone 
calls  from  coaches  for  30 
mmutes  (in  my  case)  urging 
teaching  assistants  to  "let  this 
gal  pass"  because,  after  all, 
she  s  our  star  runner?   (But 


vrite  two  complete 
coach!)  Even  my 
history  professors  [here  were 
upset  about  that  incident. 

No.  thanks;  even  if  we  could 
have  some  form  of  acceptable 
SDA  fraternities  or  sororities, 
have  you  considered  the  cost 
of  building  their  houses,  the 
expense  to  students  for  the 
parties,  pins,  blazers  am) 
other  gimics,  or  to  the  college 
for  supervising  them? 

I  would  like  to  suggest  in- 
stead that  true  school  spirit  is 
built  not  upon  activities  or 
clubs  or  intercollegiate  sports, 
but  upon  close  relationships 
and  commitment-relation- 
ships with  God,  our  fell"* 
students  and  our  teachers; 
and  a  commitment  to  do 
God's  will  in  our  lives  and 
advance  His  work  in  In 
world.  If,  as  two  students  ano

only  way  to  have  real  school 
spirit  is  to  humbly  return  to 
the  Christ- ordained  goals  and 
value  system  upon  which  this 
college  was  founded.  When 
we  manifest  in  our  school  life 
the  fruits  of  the  Spirit,  then  we 
will  have  all  the  spirit  we 
really  need.

Dear  Editor: 

I  am  writing  this  letter  be- 
cause I  am  disturbed  at  the 
way  we  as  Adventist  college 
students  take  sides  on  issues 
such  as  theater,  jewelry  and 
the  latest  topic,  rock  music!  I 
personally  took  offense  at  the 
way  the  last  letters  made 
Cindy  seem  to  be  an  immature 
person.  I  do  not  know  Cindy 
personally  and  have  only  seen 
her  around  campus  a  few 
times.  If  she  wrote  her  article 
for  attention  or  for  some  other 
self-centered  motive,  it  is  not 
for  me  or  anyone  to  judge.  If 
per  chance  Cindy  is  describing 
her  encounter  exactly  as  it 
happened,  it  does  portray 
some  serious  implications  for 
those  who  own  and  listen  to 
these  groups.  But  this  is  not 
what  I  want  to  write  about. 
Several  writers  took  time  in 
last  week's  issue  to  make  light 
or  rationalize  away  the  prob- 
lems that  we  as  Adventist 
young  people  fail  to  deal  with 

I  agree  with  Culpepper's 
final  statement  as  to  the 
number  of  young  people  leav- 
ing the  church  and  why  they 
do.  To  many,  there  are  too 
many  inconsistencies  within 
the  church.  In  a  logical  way  of 
looking  at  things,  it  is  wrong 
to  sanction  a  Barry  Manilow 
album  and  criticize  and  con- 
demn a  Van  Halen  or  Black 
Sabbath  album.  Cannot  the 
devil  be  just  as  effective  in  one 
as  the  other? 

But  if  there  are  no  incon- 
sistencies in  our  logic,  let  us 
leave  the  choice  up  to  the 
individual  and  if  he  feels  fairly 
comfortable  with  most  rock 
i  his  business.

myself  when  I  say  that  we  are

Dear  Editor: 
I  feel  I  should  respond  to 
Chuck  Wisener's  letter  which 
appeared  in  last  week's  Ac- 
cent. The  letter  was  one  of  the 
most  immature  letters  I've 
seen  in  the  Accent  in  my  four 
years  here.  Miss  Torgeson 
stated  her  opinion  and  Wise- 
ner  tried  to  make  her  out  to  be 
a  total  fool.  This  if  not  meant 
to  be  a  defense  of  Miss 
Torgeson's  opinion,  but  sim- 
ply to  ask  you  a  question.  Isn't 
there  any  way  to  keep  trite  and 
idiotic  letters  out  of  this 
"Christian"  publication. 


album,  but  one  that  has 
enough  "beat"  and  "tempo" 
so  that  I  can  break  loose  on  the 
weekends. 

We  think  we  are  using  selec- 
tive judgement  but  really  we 
are  just  forsaking  one  type  of 
evil  for  another.  Jesus  is 
coming  back  to  finish  the  final 
touches  on  the  plan  of  re- 
demption. He  may  be  here  by 
June,  July  or  August  of  this

already  lost  the  battle  and  is 
determined  that  you  will  too. 

Please  remember  that  Christ 
put  all  on  the  line  for  you.  We 
sometimes  lose  sight  of  that 
fact  with  all  the  quarreling  we 
do  on  imposed  standards.  I 
know  that  we  hate  to  have  a 
group  of  people  dictate  to  us 
that  which  is  right  or  wrong. 
The  church  was  not  meant  to 
be  a  perfect  institution,  but  it 
is  the  organization  upon  which 
"God  bestows  His  supreme 
regard."  I  want  the  readers  to 
know  that  I  have  not  yei 
attained  to  those  standards 
which  I  have  just  spoken 
about.  But  with  the  grace  of 
God.  and  because  He  loves  me 
very  much  I  will  reach  a  higher 
ground  where  I  can  feel  more 
at  peace  with  God--so  can  you ! 

Sincerely, 
David  L.  Weeden 


Dear  Editor: 

I  would  like  to  defend  myself. 

First  of  all,  I  was  not  the  only 
one  who  felt  the  same  things  I 
mentioned.  The  friends  with 
me  also  felt  them  (they  will 
remain  anonymous).  If,  in 
fact,  the  records  give  off  bad 
vibes,  that  should  tell  us  to 
stay  away  from  them. 

I  am  not  offended  by  those 
who  like  rock  music  and 
defend  it,  because  I  was  once 
a  rock  music  defender.  But 
now  I  no  longer  listen  to  it. 
Rock  music  and  1  do  not  get 
along  and  I  will  speak  up 
against  it  any  time  I  feel  it  is 
necessary. 

Perhaps  I  should  mention 
that  I  was  not  out  to  see  if  1 
could  get  bad  feelings  from 
the  album.  It  was  just  some- 
thing that  happened. 

I  was  not  overcome  with 
emotion  when  I  picked  up  the 
album.  This  is  one  time  ration- 


;  inspired  by  the  devil.

Cindy  Torgesen 


Dear  Editor: 
You  wouldn't  go  to  a  doctor 
to  get  your  car  fixed,  would 
you?  So  why  argue  amongst 
ourselves?  Let's  ask  the  ex- 
perts. 
We're  talking  here  with  Jerry 
Garcia  of  the  Grateful  Dead; 
"Excuse  me  sir,  does  Satan 
have  anything  to  do  with  rock 
music?  A  Friend  of  the  Devil  is 
a  Friend  of  Mine.  (AH  itali- 
cized replies  are  the  actual 
lyrics  or  names  ot  songs  or 
albums  of  bands  mentioned.) 
"I  see.  What  kind  of  lifestyle 
do  you  guys  maintain?  We're 
living  on  Reds,  Vitamin  C.  and 
Cocaine,  all  a  friend  can  say  is 
ain't  it  a  shame.  "Ah,  well, 
thank  you." 

We're  calling  Mick 
Jagger  of  the  Rolling  Stones, 
"Hello,  Mick?"  "Just  call  me 
Lucifer."  "Yeah,  sure,  what- 
ever you  say.  Tell  me,  do  you 
know  Jesus  Christ?"  "Well 
sure,  just  the  other  day  /  ran 
twenty  red  lights  in  his  honor, 
thank  ya  Jesus,  thank  ya 
Lord.  "OK  catch  you  later." 
Here's  a  good  one.  John 
(Ozzy)  Osborne,  one  time  lead- 
er  of  the  controversial  group, 


Black  Sabbath,  "Excuse  me. 
Ozzy.  To  what  do  you  attribute 
the  success  of  your  band?" 
"We  sold  our  souls  for  Rock 
'n'Roll.'"'0\\,  that's  nice." 
"We're  on  the  line  with 
Angus  Young,  the  fellow  who 
replaced  Bon  Scott  in  the  band 
AC/DC."  "Tell  me  Angus, 
what  city  are  you  playing 
next?"  "Oh  we're  taking  the 
'highway  to  Hell."  "Say,  what 
kind  of  music  do  you  guys 
listen  to?"  "Hells  Bells,  of 
course!"  "Of  course,  I  should 
have  known." 

I  also  tried  to-  contact  Jimi 
Hendrix,  Jim  Morrison,  and 
Keith  Moon  but  found  their 
lines  disconnected. 

Now  I  ask  you,  isn't  it  absurd 
to  think  that  such  nice  fellows 
as  this  would  have  anything  to 
do  with  Satan?  I  mean  every- 
body knows  that  spiritual  dis- 
cernment is  nothing  but  emo- 
tion! Let's  quit  being  nit-picky 
and  invite  Blue  Oyster  Cult  to 
play  at  the  church  for  Vespers 
sometime.  What  do  you  say?

Steven  S.  Springer

Pastor  Gordon  Bietz 


Once  upon  a  time  in  Fenton 
Forest  a  great  controversy 
arose.  It  caused  such  hard 
feelings  and  caused  such  a  stir 
in  the  forest  that  for  a  time 
there  was  some  anxiety  on  the 
part  of  Wise  Old  Owl  about 
whether  the  forest  would  sur- 

|t  happened  like  this.  It  had 
always  been  a  rule  in  the 
that  no  animal  could  litter.  AH 
of  their  garbage  was  to  be 
appropriately  buried.  The  law 
read  "Bury  Your  Garbage" 
and  signs  were  posted  all  over 
the  forest. 

Well,  that  law  went  along 
fine  until  one  day  Randy 
Raccoon  and  his  family 
brought  an  objection  to  the 
law.  It  seems  that  they  were 
very  clean  animals  generally 
and  found  that  the  require- 
ment that  all  garbage  must  be 
buried  did  not  take  into  con- 
sideration their  habits  of  leav- 
ing some  food  leftovers  for  the 
birds  to  clean  up  for  them. 
They  thought  that  the  law 
should  be  amended  to  allow 
for  their  practice   of  careful 


placement    of    leftovers    for 
other  animals  in  the  forest. 

That  seemed  to  be  reason- 
able and  animals  who 
depended  on  some  of  Randy's 
garbage  were  especially  in 
favor  of  the  amendment.  So 
the  law  was  changed  to  read, 
"Bury  your  garbage,  unless 
there  are  other  animals  in  the 
forest  who  depend  on  your 
garbage  for  their  own  food 
supply."  The  signs  that  had 
been  placed  in  strategic  places 
all  around  the  forest  were  now 
enlarged  so  that  they  could 
accommodate  the  new  reading 
of  the  law. 

All  went  fine  in  the  forest 
until  some  of  the  animals, 
Bert,  the  Bear,  and  Wendell 
Wolverine  began  to  leave  all 
kinds  of  garbage  around. 
When  they  were  questioned 
about  their  unhealthful  and 
unkept  ways  by  wise  Old  Owl 
they  claimed  exemption  from 
the  law  based  on  the  amend- 
ment for,  Bert  said,  "All  the 
animals  of  the  forest  profited 
from  his  garbage  because 
there  was  so  much  of  it." 


It  was  pointed  out  to  Bert  that 
when  he  left  too  much  garbage 
for  the  scavengers  in  the 
forest  to  clean  up,  it  rotted  and 
smelled,  but  Bert  said  as  far 
as  he  was  concerned,  it 
smelled  good. 

The  forest  council  did  not 
agree  with  Bert  and  so  they 
amended  the  law  to  limit  the 
amount  of  garbage  that  could 
be  left  for  the  scavengers  of 
the  forest.  The  newly  painted 
signs  now  read,  "Bury  your 
garbage,  unless  there  are 
other  animals  in  the  forest 
who  depend  on  your  garbage 
for  their  food  supply,  but  in  no 
case  leaving  more  of  said 
refuse  in  one  location  for  such 
a  length  of  time  as  to  result  in 
the  emanation  of  inappro- 
priate odors." 

Sammy  Skunk,  the  sign 
painter,  was  pleased  with  all 
the  business  and  hired  more 
painters. 

Madeline  Moose  was  the 
next  animal  to  be  hauled 
before  the  city  council  for 
breaking  the  litter  law.  It 
seemed  that  as  she  grazed  in

A  fund-raising  jump  rope 
contest  will  be  held  Sunday, 
March  27  to  further  research

afternoon.  There  will  be 
music,  fun,  and  a  lot  of  jump 
ropes  twirling  for  one  hour.

Ministries  program,  is  in

Plans  are  already  being  laid 
for  a  contest  next  year  on  a 
larger  scale  and  involving 
more  students. 

Come  and  see  your  friends 
and  have  a  great  time  Sunday 
at  one  o'clock  in-the  gym. 

Elder  Russell  L.  Staples, 
Associate  Professor  of  Mis- 
sions at  Andrews  University, 
will  be  the  featured  speaker 
for  the  Religion  Retreat  to  be 
held  this  weekend. 

Staples  will  be  speaking  on 
four  areas  that  are  the  basis 
for  practical  Christian  living, 
which  will  include  "Major 
Concepts  of  Salvation,  and 
Difficulties  in  the  Classical 
Justification  Position. 

Sponsored  by  the  Religion 
Department,  the  "retreat 
will  be  in  Talge  Hall  Chapel, 


Big  Meadow  some  of  the  grass 
fell  from  her  mouth  and  was 
not  eaten.  In  the  light  of  the 
fact  that  this  grass  was  not 
appropriate  food  for  other 
forest  animals,  it  was  classi- 
fied as  "non-edible  garbage" 
and  needed  to  be  buried. 
Madeline  objected  inasmuch 
as  she  had  always  eaten  like 
that  and.  in  fact,  would  have 
to  hire  a  ground  hog  to  bury 
her  uneaten  grass.  That  last 
fact  may  have  been  the  reason 
that  it  was  Gordon  Groundhog 
who  dragged  Madeline  to  the 
council  for  he  didn't  like  her 
walking  around  the  meadow 
anyway.  He  had  lost  one  of 
his  secret  tunnels  because  she 
had  stepped  in  it. 

Well,  the  council  considered 
carefully  the  case  and  deter- 
mined that  it  would  really  be 
too  much  to  expect  of 
Madeline  Moose  to  bury  her 
grass,  so  they  amended  the 
rule  to  exclude  "refuse  that 
would,  in  the  natural  course  of 
events,  decay  without  inordi- 
nate environmental  disrup- 
tion."       The     council     was 


becoming  unhappy  with  the 
apparent  lack  of  under- 
standing over  this  rule  and  sc 
they  also  ordered  the  engi- 
neering department  to  in- 
crease the  placement  of  the 
signs  and  their  visibility  so 
that  the  message  would  be 
clearly  communicated  to  the 
forest  community. 

Sammy  applied  for  a  larger 
b  get  as  he  employed  more 
sign  painters  to  enlarge  the 
signs  which  were  now  being 
placed  everywhere  in  the 
forest.  He  was  very  pleased 
with  his  business  and  was  able 
to  pay  Gordon  Groundhog  a 
bit  of  a  bonus  for  his  good 

"You  have  heard  it  was  said 
to  the  people  long  ago.  'Do  not 
murder,  and  anyone  who

Ramblings      of      a      fried     mind 


Have  you  ever  had  a  cynical 
tjav?  I'm  having  one  right 
now.  In  fact,  it  started  when  I 
made  myself  some  oatmeal 
this  morning.  "Stir  oats  into 
briskly  boiling  water."  Brisk- 
ly? Is  that  a  word  for  boiling 
water?  I'd  suppose  we'd  all  be 
brisk  if  we  were  boiled.  Who's 
the  guy  on  the  Quaker  Oats 
box?  Why  is  he  smiling  so 
much?  Probably  because  he's 
got  a  monopoly  on  oats.  Why 
is  it  Quaker?  Are  there  Catho- 
lic oats  too?  What's  this  with 
the  honey  jar?  "Retains  all 
original  minerals  and  ele- 
ments." Sounds  full  of  metal 
to  me.  Is  that  like  "fortified 


with 


Tha 


cereal  boxes.  I  bought  a  box  of 
"Halfsies"  yesterday.  Does 
that  mean  it's  half  full?  Maybe 
it's  for  halfwits.  Am  I  getting 
insulted?  There's  that  dumb 
Quaker  guy  again.  (Does  he 
like  my  kitchen  or  something?) 


Maybe  Halfsies  are  for  people 
who  don't  want  to  go  all  the 
way,  just  half-way.  Can  that 
mean  something  else?  Did  you 
ever  fight  for  the  free  inside? 
Did  you  ever  win?  Did  you 
ever  buy  a  cereal  just  for  the 
prize?  Did  you  know  that  if 
you  opened  the  bottom  first 
you  could  get  the  prize  easier? 
Did  you  know  that  if  you  forgot 
the  opened  bottom,  Cap'n 
Crunch  would  be  getting 
crunched  all  over  the  floor? 
What  happened  to  Quisp? 
Why  do  sugar-cereals  have 
prizes  and  not  Product  19? 
These  are  serious  questions. 
Did  you  ever  stick  Chiquita 
banana  stickers  on  your  nose? 
Here's  a  can  of  Shasta  soda.  It 
says  they  want  a  pop.  Should 
we  give  it  to  them?  If  they 
wanted  a  soda,  they'd  ask  for 
it.  It  says  it's  strawberry  soda. 
That's  why  the  letters  are  red. 
You  wouldn't  find  a  red  root- 


beer  can,  would  you?  Why  are 
Sprite  cans  green?  Sprite's 
not  green.  It  says  real-lemon 
lime  flavor- exclamation 
mark.  Am  I  supposed  to  be 
excited  too?  Here's  some  Oil 
ofOlay.  It  says"Become  beau- 
tiful-use Oil  of  Olay."  I  never 
used  it.  Am  I  ugly?  No 
comment.  Oil  of  Olay  looks 
like  Pepto-Bismol.  Is  it?  do 
you  remember  Dippity-do?  I 
used  to  smear  it  as  a  kid.  My 
mother  smeared  me.  Here's  a 
bottle  of  Thousand  Island 
dressing.  It  says  that  it  is  "A 
simply  delightful  salad  dres- 
sing." Delightful?  Should  I 
talk  to  it?  What  do  I  do  if  it 
answers?  Why  does  Ma  Bell 
keep  wanting  me  to  reach  out 
and  touch  someone?  You 
could  get  your  fingers  broken. 
Ever  see  a  new  car  ad?  Why  is 
there  always  a  bikini-clad 
woman  lying  on  the  hood? 
Does  she  come  with  it?  If  not. 


they  should  tell  her  to  go  home 
and  buy  some  clothes.  Am  I 
missing  something?  Remem- 
ber being  in  mixed  company  in 
academy,  at  a  faculty  home 
watching  TV?  Remember  how 
quiet  it  got  when  Cathy  Rigby 
came  on?  It  was  very  embar- 
rassing. It  must  have  been 
more  embarrassing  to  find  out 
you  couldn't  reply  on  Rely 
anymore.  What's  happening 
to  our  country?  Who  is 
Jorache?  Is  that  French  for 
"HORSE"  I  always  see  a 
little  horse  head  on  Jordache 
jeans.  Maybe         its 

saying  you  have  to  have  a 
horse-like  rear.  (I  wear  Levis). 
What  about  Gloria  Vander- 
bilt?  She's  so  ugly.  Maybe  she 
thinks  Pepto-Bismol  is  Oil  of 
Olay.  Why  is  her  name  on  her 
jeans?  Maybe  it  makes  her 
feel  good  to  know  millions  are 
sitting  on  her  name.  She's 
strange.    Strange    and    ugly. 


Maybe  that's  why  she  has  so 
much  more  money  than  1  do. 
Here's  the  cover  for  Good 
Housekeeping.  On  the  cover  it 
says.  "As  she  drew  back 
breathlessly,  she  longed  to 
hear  his  words."  They  write 
that  so  women  standing  in  line 
at  Red  Food  Store  will  buy  it. 
and  read  the  cheap  novel 
inside.  It  usually  works.  My 
wife  fell  for  it,  that's  why  I'm 
reading  it.  What  is  it  I  don't 
say  that  she  longs  to  hear?  Is 
it,  "1  took  out  the  garbage?" 
Who  draws  back  breathlessly? 
I  suppose  they  do  that  at  the 
business  office  a  lot. 
Hmmm,  "...he  took  her 
creamy  white  shoulders  in  his 
strong  hands.  She  swooned  ;

He 


stared  hard  at  her  lush,  red

HOUSE      SPEAKER      'TIP' 

O'Neill  described  President 
Reagan's  attack  on  the  Demo- 
cratic budget  proposals  as 
vicious  rhetoric  reminiscent  of 
the  McCarthy  era  when  some 


i  under  every  bed."  President 
;an  attacked  the  pro- 
posals, which  provide  three 
per  cent  less  than  Reagan's 
S245  billion  in  defense  spend- 
ing, calling  them  "a  dagger 
aimed  straight  at  the  heart  of 
America's  rebuilding  plan." 
THE  WHITE  HOUSE  MAY 
nave  used  the  EPA  to  influ- 
ence several  key  New  England 
I  gubernatorial  races  last  year. 
According  to  Albert  Gore, 
I  ID-TN)  the  House  questioning 
I  ">f°rmer  EPA  superfund  chief 
I  "Ha  Lavelle  will  "delve  into 
I  *e  first  evidence  involving 
I 'he  White  House  staff  in  the 
I  pol,,,cal  manipulation  of  the 
I  Program  to  clean-up  hazard- 


ous waste."  The  evidence 
consists  of  notes  taken  by  Ms. 
Lavelle's  assistant  during  a 
conversation  with  White 
House  aide  James  Medas. 
One  passage  reads  "New 
England  .  .  .  bend  over 
backwards  [Richard]  Snelling/ 
Edward  King."  Vermont 
voters  reelected  Republican 
Richard  Snelling  as  their 
governor  while  Massachusetts 
voters  refused  a  second  term 
to  Republican  Redward  King. 

PRESIDENT  REAGAN  No- 
minated William  Ruckelhaus 
as  director  of  the  EPA 
Monday.  The     president 

praised  Ruckelhaus  long  re- 
cord as  a  civil  servant  and 
charged  him  to  run  "an  open 
and  responsive"  agency,  add- 
ing that  he  has  given  the 
executive  a  "broad  and  flex- 
ible mandate."  According  to 
Ruckelhaus,     his   "immediate 


task  is  to  stabilize  the  EPA,  to 
reinstill  in  the  people  there  the 
dedication  to  their  job  of 
cleaning  up  our  air  and  water 
and  protecting  the  citizens. 

THE  GNP  GREW  AT  A  FOUR 
percent  annual  pace  during 
the  first  quarter,  leading 
President  Reagan  to  promise  a 
"long  and  strong"  recovery 
from  the  worst  recession  since 
World  War  II.  Private  econo- 
mists, however,  doubted  the 
economic  upsurge  would  be 
robust  and  durable  enough  to 
affect  unemployment. 

THE  SENATE  PASSED  A 
$5.1  billion  job's  bill  after  a 
week  of  bitter  debate  last 
Thursday.  The  bill  provides 
$5  billion  in  loans  to  help 
states  pay  unemployment 
checks  as  well  as  the  $5.1 
billion  for  jobs  and  other 
programs  for  the  needy.

Hospital  request 
denied 


The  Tennessee  Health  Facil- 
ities Commission  denied  a 
request  by  Adventist  Health 
Systems/ Sunbelt  to  construct 
a  12.7  million  dollar  hospital  in 
Collegedale. 

The  twelve  member  board 
met  on  March  23  to  review 
AHS/Sunbeit's  application 
and  to  study  comments  made 
at  a  March  8  meeting  in 
Chattanooga.  The  board 
voted  to  deny  the  request  by  a^ 
vote  of  5-3  with  two  absten- 
tions. Two  board  members 
were  absent. 

Despite  the  setback  Jan 
Rushing,  AHS/Sunbelt  vice- 
president  also  suggested  Jhat 
ization  still  hopes  to  build  the 
hospital.  Rushing  told  the 
Chattanooga  Times,  "We  are 
very  committed  as  an  organ- 
ization to  continue  to  plan  to 
build  a  primary  health 


,  thii 


We 


disheartened,    but    we    fully 
intend  to  carry  on  with  build- 
ing the  health  care  center." 
Don  Self,  a  spokesman  for 


AHS/Sunbelt  told  the 
Southern  Accent,  "We  are 
looking  into  the  appeal  pro- 
cess. We  are  hoping  things 
will  indicate  we  can  win." 

"A  number  of  people  have 
been  very  helpful,"  Self  said. 
"State  Senator  Ray  Albright 
has  been   very   supportive. 
Representative  David 

Copeland  may  introduce  a  bill 
in  the  Tennessee  House  to 
decertify  beds  in  the  Chat- 
tanooga area  so  that  a  hospital 
in  the  Collegedale  area  would 
be  more  likely." 

Self  indicated  that  there 
seems  to  be  a  general 
groundswell  of  support  for  the- 
new  hospital.  "We  are  look- 
ing at  community  leaders  to 
see  what  they  recommend. 
We  will  make  a  final  decision 
withinaweek.  Ifweappeal.it 
will  be  in  the  next  two  months. 

If  we  re-submit  (the  appli- 
cation), the  process  will  take 
about  a  year."  A  new  appli- 
cation would  cost  $12,700. 


Senate    discusses    tuition 


Moot   court      meets 


by  Leanne  Facundus 
A  jury  of  6  women  and  5  men 
found  for  the  plaintiff  in  the 
amount  of  $8500  Monday, 
March  28,  1983,  in  the  trial  of 
Peter  Pan  Carpets,  Inc.  vs. 
Replacement  Parts  Company 
at  the  Southern  College 
Second  Annual  Moot  Court. 
The  plaintiff,  Mr.  Cecil  Golfe 
(Jeff  Krall),  owner  of  Peter 
Pan  Carpets,  Inc.,  won  his  suit 
for  a  recovery  of  total  damages 
that  had  been  incurred  upon 
the  purchase  of  some  carpet 
machine  parts  from  Mr. 
Wayne  (Mike  McClung)  of 
Replacement  Parts  Company. 
Despite  Defense  "Attorney" 
Charlie  Hammer's  well-pre- 
pared defense  that  the  carpet 
machine  failed  to  work  be- 
cause the  dye  being  used  in 
the  machine  to  color  the  carpet 
had  lint  in  it,  Prosecuting 
"Attorney"  Greg  Mitrakas, 
was  able  to  show  the  jury 
through  the  testimonies  of 
several  witnesses  (Rick  Nail 
and  Tim  Beaulieu)  that  the 
parts  were  indeed  faulty. 
Originating  in  Attorney  Glen 
McColpin's  business  law 
classroom  at  SC  years  ago, 
Moot  Court  is  a  re-enactment 


of  court  cases  that  have  actu- 
ally been  tried  in  courts  of  law. 
Prepared  mainly  for  and  by 
students  of  Professor  Steve 
Spears'  Business  Law  class, 
this  year's  court,  complete 
with  "the  Honorable  Judge" 
Jim  Lohr  (Chattanooga  attor- 
ney in  the  firm  of  Hatfield, 
McColpin,  Van  Cleave,  and 
Stulce),  "Bailiff'  Lowell 
Ferguson,  defense  and  pro- 
secuting attorneys  with  their 
legal  staffs,  and  ajury,  "really 
did  a  lot  of  work  and  are  to  be 
commended,"  stated  Mr. 
Spears.  Charges  were  filed, 
witnesses  interviewed,  and 
instructions  to  the  jury  drawn 
up-all  evidence  of  much  time 
and  study  invested  to  the  case. 

Rosalie  Wilson,  who  was  a 
member  of  the  prosecution's 
legal  staff,  commented,  "I 
was  reluctant  at  first  to  get 
involved,  but  I'm  glad  I  did 
because  it  was  a  lot  of  fun." 

Greg  Mistrakas,  a  pre-law/ 
Business  Management  major, 
agreed.  "1  was  impressed 
with  the  amount  of  participa- 
tion Moot  Court  received.  It 
was  a  valuable  learning 
experience." 


The  SA  Senate  held  its  12th 
meeting,  discussing  the 
tuition  increase,  the  new  offi- 
cers, the  Dead  Week  proposal, 
a  Joker  and  Numerique  com- 
bination and  the  Senator's 
Banquet. 

.Richard  Reiner.  SC  Business 
Manager  made  a  presentation 
to  the  Senate  concerning  the 
tuition  increase.  "We  have  a 
significant  problem  ahead." 
Reiner  told  the  Senators.  "We 
have  the  problem  of  increas- 
ing costs  and  decreasing  en- 
rollment." The  projected  FTE 
enrollment  drop  is  estimated 
at  150  students.  "We  are 
attempting  to  operate  on  the 
thinnest  of  budgets,"  Reiner 
said.  "The  college  is  in  a  belt 
tightening  situation  with  a 
freeze  on  hiring  and  depart- 
mental budgets."  Reiner 
urged  the  Senators  to  recruit 
students  to  Southern  College 
stating  that  "you  are  the  best 
recruiter."  Reiner  also  men- 
tioned the  possibility  of  a 
tuition  rebate  if  the  enrollment 


projected. 

Glenn  McElroy  formally 
presented  the  elected  SA 
officers  for  next  year  to  the 
Senate-J.T.  Shim,  Vice-Pres- 
ident; Peggy  Brandenburg, 
Social  Activities;  John 
Seaman,  Student  Services; 
Maureen  Mayden.  Southern 
Accent  editor;  Malinda 
McKee,  Southern  Memories 
editor;  and  Don  Welch.  Joker 

SA  president-elect  McEiroy 
then  presented  a  slate  ot 
appointed  SA  officers  to  the 
Senate  for  their  approval. 
They  included  Tammy  Schlis- 
ner,  Secretary;  Steve  Schmidt, 
Parliamentarian,  Cary 

Gregory,  Public  Relations; 
and  Terry  Shaw,  Business 
Manager.  The  senators  voted 
to  accept  the  nominations. 

Ken  Bradley  and  Denise 
Read  told  the  Senate  that  the 
Dead  Week  Proposal  has  been 
approved  and  will  go  into 
effect  next  year.  Major  tests 


will  be  prohibited  during  the 
three  days  before  test  week. 

J.T.  Shim  presented  a 
proposal  from  Don  Welch, 
Joker  editor-elect.  The  plan 
called  for  printing  student 
phone  numbers  in  the  Joker, 
thus  making  the  Numerique 
unnecessary.  Welch  had 
estimated  that  the  combina- 
tion would  save  $500  a  year. 
However,  SA  President  Alvin 
Franklin  stated  that  the  sav- 
ings would  be,  at  the  most, 
$250.  For  the  next  few 
minutes,  the  Senate  hotly 
debated  the  topic  with  the  tide 
seeming  to  go  against  the 
combination.  Welch  will  make 
a  formal  proposal  to  the 
Senate  in  several  weeks. 
Joseph  Robertson  announced 
that  the  Senator's  Banquet 
would  be  a  Sunday  Brunch  at 
the  Opryland  Hotel  in  Nash- 
ville on  April  17.  The  Senators 
were  encouraged  to  ask  fellow 
Senators  to  the  Brunch  to  help 
keep  costs  down.

<J     Surprises 


Life  is  always  full  of  surprises,  both  good  and  bad. 
Adventist  church  members  have  been  getting  a  bunch  of 
surprises  lately.     Many  church  members  were  surprised 
(bad)  when  they  heard  church  organizations  had  lost  over 
$20,000,000  in  the  Davenport  scandal. 

Many  church  members  were  surprised  (good)  when  the 
General  Conference  appointed  the  Presidental  Review 
Commission  to  investigate  corruption  and  incompetence  in 
the  church  and  to  deal  out  fair  discipline. 
When  Neal  Wilson  announced  he  and  the  GC  officers  and 
voted  to  accept  Presidental  Review  Commission's  report  and 
print  the  names  of  those  being  disciplined,  many  church 
members  were  surprised  (bad)  and  very  upset  at  the  thought 
of  public  "humiliation"  for  the  guilty. 

The  General  Conference  sprang  another  surprise  when  they 
announced  the  names  of  those  being  disciplined  would  not  be 
Adventist  Review,  Neal  Wilson  stated  that  church  members 
easier  but  many  church  members  were  steaming  at  the 
"coverup." 

But  the  surprises  weren't  over.  In  the  March  24  issue  of  the 
published  in  the  Adventist  Review.  Many  people  breathed 
may  "feel  free"  to  call  the  General  Conference  to  find  out  it 
any  person  or  group  were  being  disciplined.  I  decided  to  test 
what  Wilson  said  and,  to  my  surprise  (good),  I  received  the 
information  with  a  minimum  of  hassle. 

Where  does  this  all  take  us?  How  can  the  average  church 
member  relate  to  these  "surprises?"  The  individual  could 
lose  faith  in  the  leadership  of  the  General  Conference  and 
everything  they  stand  for.  He  could  say  that  things  will  work 
out  in  the  end.  Or  he  could  go  on  his  merry  way.  waiting  for 
the  next  "surprise"  to  break. 

Judging  by  the  pace  of  things,  they  won't  have  long  to  wait.

Dear  Editor, 

I  just  wanted  to  send  you  a 
short  note  of  appreciation  for 
the  positive  editorial  you 
wrote  about  our  college.  Many 
of  us  in  administration  were 
distressed  when  we  saw 
CUC's  ad  about  working  in  a 
cookie  factory.  1  feel  that  it  is  a 
back-handed  slam  at  what  we 
consider  here  a  positive  situa- 
tion. It  is  very  fortunate,  that 
through  the  years,  hundreds 
of  students  have  been  able  to 
work  their  way  through  col- 
lege by  working  at  McKee 
Baking  Company.  We  hope  to 
Dear  Editor. 

I  am  writing  in  regards  to 
Brian  Strayer's  letter  to  the 
editor  in  the  March  24  issue  of 
the  Southern  Accent.  I  feel  I 
must  reiterate  my  desire  to 
see  some  improvement  in 
■  school  spirit  here  at  Southern 
College.  The  purpose  of  my 
statement  was  not  to  promote 
or  to  advocate  the  installation 
of  fraternities  or  sororities  on 
this  campus.  Since  this  point  ' 
was  obviously  missed.  1  feel  it 
is  necessary  to  set  things 
straight. 

School  spirit  is  not  derived 
f™*fl«k°fli<luor  or  yelling 
ones  self  hoarse  at  a  football 
game;  but.  from  a  sense  of 
loyalty  ,„  one.s  sch00, 
.from  a  belief ,  hat  the  school  is 


continue  to  provide  this  as  an 
alternate  source  of  employ- 
ment as  well  as  other  sources 
of  practical  jobs  that  you 
mentioned  in  your  editorial. 
Jobs  on  this  campus  are 
available  for  any  students  who 
have  an  adequate  schedule 
and  are  willing  to  work  at  any 
job.  As  evidence  of  our  com- 
mitment to  the  student  em- 
ployment situation,  we  have 
established  a  separate  office 
and  increased  all  the  wages  on 
the  campus  to  $3.00  an  hour 
beginning  January  I,  1983. 
We   also   have   instituted    an 


incentive  wage  plan  for  stu- 
dents who  work  a  certain 
number  of  hours  in  a  depart- 
ment in  order  for  them  to 
increase  their  earnings  and  be 
of  more  assistance  in  the 
departments  they  work  in . 
I  appreciate  the  positive  at- 
titude and  the  fact  that  our 
students  do  recognize  they 
have  a  very  positive  and  good 
situation  here  on  our  campus. 

Sincerely, 

Richard  Reiner

the  best. 

We  could  have  the  same  sort 
of  program  here  at  S.C.-even 
better  because  the  other 
colleges  within  the  denomi- 
nation could  be  involved.  All 
we  need  is  a  chance  to  try 
something  new,  something  ail 
could  benefit  from.  What's 
wrong  with  showing  school 
spirit?  What  could  possibility 
be  wrong  with  intercollegiate 
sports  within  our  own 
denomination?  Who  knows,  it 
might  be  just  the  thing  to  let 
the  students  express  their 
loyalty  to  S.C.  and  prove  to 
everyone  else  that  we're 
No.  1!

always  marveled  at  the  ani- 
mosity that  seems  to  exist 
between  the  two  schools  and 
the  two  Unions.  CUC  is  really 
not  a  bad  place.  Its  small  size 
(comparatively)  makes  it  more 
personable  than  good  old 
Southern  and  at  least  as 
friendly. 

I've  had  to  deal  with  various 
faculty  or  administrative  per- 
sonnel at  CUC  for  some  reason 
or  another  throughout  the  past 
four  years,  and  have  found 
them  very  helpful  and  gra- 
cious. (Although  it  would  be 
hard  to  beat  our  own  dear 
Mrs.  Elam!)  As  far  as  work 
goes,  it  should  he  obvious  that 


CUC  has  more  job  opportuni- 
ties than  SC  being  next  door  to 
Washington  D.C.--a  bit  larger 
city  than  is  Chattanooga  or 
Collegedale!  But  as  I  always 
say,  CUC  is  a  good  school  in 
the  wrong  place.  For  me. 
Southern  is  a  better  school  in 
the  right  place.  I  think  the 
respective  schools  should  em- 
phasize their  own  unique  good 
points  without  dragging  out 
the  negative  aspects  of  their 
"rivals."  After  all,  aren't  both 
schools  really  working  under 
the  same  "Manager"  for  the 
same  purpose?!

Sidney  Whiting 


Dear  Editor, 

For  the  past  two  weeks  now.  I 
have  read  the  letters  section 
on  rock  music  with  an  interest. 

Even  though  I  am  hearing 
impaired,  I  appreciate  music 
very  much.  I  think  it's  a 
beautiful  language  of  its  own. 
I  think  if  I  could  hear,   I'd 

My  sisters  were  rock  music 
lovers.  They'd  always  put  the 
volume  very  high,  and  there 
were  heavy  beats  which  I 
didn't  appreciate. 

About  Cindy's  letter--I  be- 
lieve, she  just  wanted  to  tell  us 
of  her  experience  and  her 
thanks  for  the  guidance.  But 
still,  I  believe  strongly  that  we  " 
must  decide  for  ourselves  and 


if  people  think  we  are  strange 
or  wrong  to  believe  and  do 
what  is  right  while  it's  wrong 
to  them  we  should  not  let  it 
bother  us. 
Besides,  we  can't  judge  any- 
thing if  it's  bad  or  good  by 
looking  at  it.  For  example,  as 
I'm  a  bookworm,  I  sometimes 
pick  books  to  read  because 
they  look  attractive.  Instead, 
they  sometimes  turn  out  to  be 


Dear  Editor, 

1  wish  to  address  one  rather 
ambiguous  statement  in  Mr. 
Strayer's  letter  last  week.  He 
said  that  90  percent  of  Advent- 
ist  youth  have  attended  the 
dreaded  movie  theater.  Does 
this  mean  that  90  percent  of  us 
have  gone  to  100  percent  of 
the  movies  that  come  out  or  90 
percent  have  gone  to  1  percent 
of  the  movies  that  are  re- 
leased? 

Your  statement  holds  no 
water  with  me  because  movies 
are  of  different  calibers.  There 
are  the  Walt  Disney  "Happy 
Ending"  movies.  These  are 
the  ones  that  end  tip  as 
"benefit  films"  at  Adventist 
outings.  There  are  adventure 
movies  i.e.  Radiers  of  the  Lost 
Ark,  Star  Wars,  and  High 
Road  to  China.  These  are 
movies  that  are  highly  enter- 
taining and  don't  make  you 
feel  like  you've  wasted  your 
time.  There  are  movies  that 
make  you  laugh.  Then  there  is 
a  small  group  of  movies  known 
as  skin  flicks.  There  are  the 
ones  I  think  you  are  referring 


to.  And  I  have  to  agree  that 
they  are  not  good  for  the 
mind.  However,  that  needs  to 
be  learned  through  ex- 
perience, not  through  organi- 
zational rules. 

When  I  learned  that  the 
movie  screening  committee 
had  rejected  Star  Wars,  my 
mind  went  into  a  spin.  I  could 
not  believe  that  such  an 
entertaining  movie  could  be 
rejected.  All  the  movie  does 
the  whole  way  through  is  push 
the  idea  of  good  winning  over 
evil.  Is  this  so  bad  that  it 
cannot  be  shown  on  a  good 
over  evil  campus? 

The  other  part  of  Mr. 
Strayer's  letter  that  needs 
questioning  is  that  80  percent 
of  Adventist  males  have  im- 
bibed alcohol.  I  think  before 
we  make  statements  about  the 
inherently  evil  drink  we  need 
to  read  Ecclisiastes  10:19.  It 
reads:  "The  table  has  its 
pleasures  and  wine  makes  r 
cheerful  life;  and  money  ■' 
behind  it  all."  NEW  English 
Bible.  But  the  message  is  the 
same  in  other  versions.  Not 
only  that,  but  when  a  nominee 


for  deacon  becomes  a  deacon, 
he  takes  an  oath  from  the 
Bible  that  says  he  will  not  be 
of  much  wine.  Hmmm. 
Another  interesting  thought  is 
that  Jesus'  first  miracle  was 
changing  water  to  what? 
Kafree  Cola?  unfermended 
grape  juice?  Milk?  No,  wine. 
This  sure  is  confusing.  The 
Bible  says  one  thing  and 
others  say  somthing  else. 
I  would  like  to  state  right  now 
that  I  don't  think  hard  liquor 
should  be  consumed  and  I'm 
not  an  advocate  of  drinking, 
but  we  as  Christians  need  to 
search  for  answers  for  these 
questions  in  the  Bible-not 
take  someone  elses  word  for 
it.  I  guess  this  is  why  I  have 
been  branded  a  radical  by 
certain  people  around  here- 
because  I  have  questions  and  I 
ask  them.  We  were  given 
minds  to  use  them  not  let 
"^m  sit  by  while  someone 
;t    to    think    and

Royce  J.  Earp

right  even  if  people  think  you 
are  wacky.  I'll  always  listen  to

Dear  Editor, 
The  time  is  rare  when  we  feel 
inclined  to  write  a  letter  to 
you.  However,  we  would  like 
to  voice  our  opinion  concern- 
ing the  fine  job  that  Dean 
Schlisner  and  the  Entertain-

this  year.  We  believe  they 
have  provided  us  with  some 
excellent  entertainment;  per- 
formances by  David  Holt,  the 


Mac  Frampton  Trio,  and  the

"been  worth  our  time  and  most 
enjoyable.  The  majority  of

Spring    fever    catches 


by  Dick  Bird 

It  happens  this  time  every 
year.  The  long,  hard  winte. 
with  its  bone  chilling  winds 
and  it's  sub-zero  temperatures 
surrenders  to  the  warm  fra- 
grant April  air.  You  can  even 
hear  the  serenade  of  the  robin 
as  the  sun  peeks  over  the 
horizon. 

The  air  is  clean  and  fresh... 
The  earth,  once  beaten  by  the 
elements  has  begun  its  re- 
generation, a  reminder  of  the 
creative  power  found  in  the 
very  author  of  life. 

Class  attendance  is  down. 
Students  have  saved  all  of 
their    skips;    their    absences 


causing  havoc  all  over  the 
campus.  The  dormitories  are 
empty-who  wants  to  study? 
The  sun  is  warm,  and  there 
isn't  a  cloud  in  the  sky. ..Sit- 
ting in  the  classroom  would  be 
a  crime.. .that's  right  a  crime! 
And  you'  can  bet  your  last 
nickel  you'll  find  the  Talge 
Hall  deans  on  the  golf  course!! 
The  women  of  Thatcher, 
equipped  with  towels,  radios, 
soft  drinks,  and,  of  course, 
suntan  oil,  flock  to  the  "con- 
fines" of  the  courtyard.  For 
the  first  time  in  a  long  while 
they  are  able  to  soak  in  the 
sun's  rays...  and  in  absolute 


privacy. 

Their  peace  is  only  short- 
lived, for  from  out  of  nowhere, 
the  men  of  Talge  (who  have 
been  planning  the  attack  for 
months)  begin  a  barrage  of 
water  in  the  form  of  balloons, 
pistols,  and  even  buckets.  The 
air  is  filled  with  shrieks  of  the 
sunbathers,  the  laughs  of  their 
attackers,  and  the  shouts  of 
the  deans  as  they  attempt  to 
ward  off  the  siege. 

Within  moments,  the  in- 
vaders retreat,  leaving  the 
area  a  disaster.  "We'll  have  to 
call  Dean  Evans,  and  ask  him 
to  keep   better  tabs   on    his 


men."  says  one  ladies'  dean. 
"We  have  to  stop  this  non- 
sense," says  another,  as  she 
dials  the  number  to  Talge 
Hall. 

"May  I  speak  to  Dean 
Evans?"  (long  pause) 

"Well,  may  I  speak  to  Dean 
Christman,  Qualley,  or 
Nafie?"  (longer  pause) 

"Could  you  have  one  of  them 
call  me  when  they  return?" 

"Thank  you." 

"Well,  where  are  they?" 
asks  the  other  dean.  In  unison 
the  two  reply,  "On  the  golf

Pastor  Gordon  Biet^ 


Once  upon  a  time  there  was  a 
teacher  in  Fenton  Forest.  The 
teacher  came  from  outside  the 
forest  and  was  sure  that  he 
had  much  to  tell  all  of  the 
forest  inhabitants.  His  mes- 
sage was  very  important  and 
he  though  about  how  to  best 
communicate      it.  This 

teacher's  name  was  Blake, 
Blake  Blackbird.  He  traveled 
all  over  the  forest  seeking  to 
tell  other  animals  how  to  live 
better.    But  nobody  listened. 


"Psst,"  said  Peter  Rabbit. 
"Whenever  I  eat  garlic  out 
of  Farmer  Jones'  garden, 
everyone  pays  attention  to  me, 
so  why  don't  you  take  some  of 
this  garlic  and  rub  it  on  your 
face  and  you  will  get  every- 
one's attention." 

So  Blake  Blackbird  did  as  he 
was  told  and  he  went  out  to 
talk  to  the  people  and  tell 
them  what  his  message  was. 
But  nobody  listened.  They  ran 
from  him  as  fast  as  they  could, 


Henry     the       roach 
reviews      programs 


From  my  vantage  point  of  the 
bleachers,  1  could  view  the 
whole    audience.        All    the 
campus  celebrities  had  come, 
including    Garfield    &    Odie, 
Snoopy  &  Woodstock,  and  the 
little  man  from   the   Campus 
Chatter  with  the  paint  brush. 
But  as  1  nibbled  on  an  apple 
core  left  on  the  seat.  I  couldn't 
help  noticing  the  absence  of 
college  students.  Tapping  one 
of  my  friends  on  the  antenna, 
1  asked.  "Is  there  a  vacation 
this  weekend  or  did  someone 
call  in  a  bomb  threat?"  "No," 
replied  the  friend,  "word  just 
had  it  that   this   wasn't   the 
program   to   attend."    Simul- 
taneously I  stamped  4  of  my  6 
feet.        "This    is    the    best 
program   I've    seen    here    at 
SC!"  So,  on  Monday  I  slipped 
into  Wright  Hall  and  up  to 
Dean  Schlisner's  office  with- 
out being  stepped  on.    Flying 
onto  his   note    pad,    I    com- 
menced   with    my    prepared 
speech    on     HOW-TO-PR-A- 
PROGRAM  but  he  cut  me  to 
the    quick.        Mr.    Schlisner 
stated      flatly      that      many 
avenues  were  pursued  to  en- 
tice students   to   come-with 
small  turn  outs.   Having  taken 
the  wind  out  of  my  wings,  he 
further  told  me  more  interest- 
ing details.      To   begin,    the 
Canadian    Brass    group    was 
booked  14  months  ago  and  had 
rame  to  the  campus   at   an 
expense  of  $7,500.  This  group 
,s  booked    solid    every    year 
with    roughly     120     concerts 
annually.  Trying  to  side-track, 
I  brought  up  the  issue  of  the 
Chinese  Circus.     Five  Thou- 
sand five  hundred  greenbacks 
a"d  another  year  of  preplan- 
ning landed  these  performers, 
"lis  was  news  to  my  auditor 
sensors.  Mr.  Schlisner  stated 
I    '  at  he  and  many  others  bend 
ver  backwards  to  get  good, 
lualitv  entertainment  for  the 
"Went  body.  Cultural  enrich- 
m=nt  is  the  second  reason  for 


booking  a  performance,  enter- 
tainment    being     the     first! 
"Why  don't  students  come  to 
these  great  shows?"  I  asked. 
He  didn't  have  an  answer,  so  I 
knew  I  had  him.  "What  would 
happen  next  year  if  there  were 
no     entertainment     series?" 
Again,  he  didn't  know.    So,  I 
wil)  tell  you.    First,  the  gym 
would  probably  be  opened,  if 
you  could  pay  a  gym  worker 
enough  to  open  it.     Second, 
the  snack  shop  might  be  open 
and  maybe  even  the  student 
center.  Third,  everyone  could 
go  to  sleep  at  9:30  on  Saturday 
nights,  unless  you  were  lucky 
enough  to  have  access  to  a  car. 
Then  you  could  play  Pac  Man 
downtown  until   room   check 
time.    Sounds  pretty  fantastic 
doesn't  it?  As  I  turned  to  crawl 
away,  Mr.  Schlisner  was  pick- 
ing up  the  phone  to  cancel 
Warten  Miller's  ski  show  for 
next  school  year.   I  asked  him 
not  to   be    so   hasty   and    to 
reconsider  the   matter.       He 
said  he  would  if  he  felt  the 
students  really  wanted  action- 
packed    programs    for    their 
campus.  This  gave  me  food  for 
thought.    Now,  as  a  roach,  I 
am    not    inclined    to    bonng 
program,  but  have  seen  all 
except  one  of  the  series  this 
year,  I  can  say  my  time  was 
well    spent.        Now    maybe 
paying  for  the   shows   is   a 
problem.    The  $2.50  asked  of 
students  and  staff  for  both  the 
Canadian  Brass  and  Chinese 
Circus  wouldn't  let  you  see 
either   anywhere   else.      The 
price  to  see  the  Brass  in  town 
would    be    $8-10    and    who 
knows    how    much    a    plane 
ticket  to  Taiwan  would  be  to 
see    the    other    group.    Mr. 
Editor,  would  you  please  ask 
the  students  to  just  stop  by 
and  tell  Dean  Schlisner  they 
do  appreciate  the  Entertain- 
ment Series.    I  would  hate  to 
spend    my    Saturday    mghts 
sleeping.

was  discouraged.  He  felt  he 
had  an  important  message  and 
nobody  was  listening. 

'Psst."  said  Bert  Bear, 
"When  I  want  people  to  listen 
to  me.  I  just  raise  my  voice  like 
this  and  talk  very  loud  and 
they  can't  help  but  listen  to 
me.  Here  take  this  mega- 
phone and  shout  into  it  and 
everyone  will  listen." 

So  Blake  Blackbird  did  as 
Bert  suggested  and  went  into 


Fenton  Forest  shouting  at  the 
top  of  his  lungs,  but  nobody 
listened.  They  ran  from  him 
holding  their  noses  and  cover- 
ing their  ears.  Blake  just  was 
not  communicating. 

"Psst,"  said  Louise  Lion, 
"When  I  want  people  to  listen 
to  me.  1  just  tell  them  that  they 
have  to  stay  right  where  they 
are  and  listen,  or  I  will  eat 
them  alive." 

So  Blake  Blackbird  did  as 
Louise    Lion    suggested    and

With  the  advent  of  spring 
weather  \hopefully  soon)  upon 
us,  many  SC  students  make 
their  way  to  the  various  golf 
courses  in  the  area.  With  the 
new  golf  season  many  players 
should  review  the  fund- 
amentals of  their  respective 
g^es  to  insure  a  good  start. 
Oolfers.  read  these  hints  and 
maybe  it  II  take  a  couple  of 
strokes  off  your  score. 
by  Ted  Evans 

The  best  tip  1  could  ever  give 
anyone  about  golf  without  a 
doubt  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 
anquish  is  beyond  me.  But  if 
you  choose  to  ignore  my  most 
important  tip,  read  on. 

Most  golf  instructors  en- 
courage their  stuents  to  con- 
centrate on  basic  funda- 
mentals  as  they  learn  to  plav 
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. 

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  pointing 
to  the  inside  of  your  rieht 
shoulder.  e 


2.   Alignment 

Shoulders,  hips  and  feet 
should  be  lined  up  squarely  to 
the  ball.  Many  beginning 
golfers  align  their  feet  just 
fine  but  their  hips  are  slightly 
left  of  the  target  line  and  their 
shoulders  are  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  readv 
to  swing  the  club.) 


Golf  is  properly  played  from 
the  inside  of  the  feet  through- 
out the  swing  until  after  the 
ball  has  been  contacted. 
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  swaying. 
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 
nght  foot  to  the  outside  of  the

tempo)  is  not  nearly  as  impor 
tant  as  is  the  rhythm  of  the 
swing  The  twp. key  ingredi- 
ents stressed  by  most  experts 
are  having  a  smoooth,  un- 
hurned  transition  at  the  top 
from  back  swing  to  down 
swing  and  have  a  one-piece 
take  away. 

This  means  let  the  shoulders 
arms  """I  hands  all  move  the 
club  away  from  the  ball  at  the 
same  time.  The  upper  body 
eads  on  the  back  swing  whUe 
Ok  lower  body  leads  in  the 
transition  to  the  down  swing 


Remember!  You  take  the 
club  away.  Do  not  be  temp  "d 

.to  pick  ,he  club  up  a,  a„Xe

PRESIDENT  REAGAN  PRO- 
posed  a  nuclear  defense 
system  of  lasers  to  be  com- 
pleted sometime  during  the 
next  century  which  would 
make  "nuclear  weapons  im- 
potent and  obsolete.  The 
President  also  suggested  that 
the  Soviets  have  overwhelm- 
ing miliary  superiority. 

SOVIET  LEADER  YURI 
Andropov  attacked  the  U  S 
missile  plan,  calling  it  "a  bid 
to  disarm  the  Soviet  Union"  to 
give  the  U.S.  "a  first  nuclear 
strike  capability."  Andropov 
warned  the  U.S.  that  "the 
Soviet  Union  will  never  allow 
(the  plan)  to  succeed."  Secre- 
tary of  State  Weinberger  dis- 
missed Andropov's  comments 
as  standard  Soviet  disinfor- 
mation that  has  been  poured 
out  for  years."

THE  HOUSE  APPROVED  A 
Democratic  budget  proposal 
calling  for  sharp  defense 
spending  cuts,  increases  in 
social  programs  spending,  and 
a  corresponding  increase  in 
taxes  in  comparison  to  Presi- 
dent Reagan's  budget  pro- 
posal. According  to  House 
Speaker  O'Neill,  "The  people 
believe  that  Reagan  policies 
are  unfair  and  have  gone  too 
far  .  .  .  the  House  voted  to 
restore  fairness  and  balance  to 
our  national  policies. 
Republicans  called  the  Demo- 
cratic plan  "a  blueprint  for 
the  economic  ruin  of  our 
nation,"  and  "very  question- 
able fiscal  policy."

Tom,  Dick  and  I  were  hang- 
ing around  the  guys'  lobby. 
There  wasn't  much  to  do, 
except  watch  this  one  couple 
kiss.  "How  long  do  you  think 
they've  been  under?"  asked 
Tom.  "Five  minutes,"  whis- 
pered Dick.  "Maybe  they're 
pearl  divers,"  1  added.  "I 
heard  they  could  go  without 
air  for  a  while." 

Just  then  our  friend  Harry 
bounded  in.  "Hey!  Check  out 
the  new  game  I  just  bought  at 
the  Mercantile!"  he  bellowed. 
Curious,  we  asked  what  it 
was.  "It's  called  Southern 
Monopoly-S  &  M  for  short." 
We  had  to  agree,  it  sounded 
different.  "You  guys  want  to 
play? ' '  Harry  asked.  We 
looked  over  at  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Pearl  Diver.  "Okay,  we'll 
play." 

We  set  up  the  game  in  a  few 
seconds,  and  chose  our  little 
playing  pieces.      Each    piece 


was  a  miniature  student  wear- 
ing nothing  but  a  barrel 
around  his  middle.  I  thought  1 
might've  seen  a  few  people 
like  that  coming  out  of  the 
cashier's  office.  It  wouldn't 
make  a  bad  graduation  gown 
either.  Very  appropriate. 
Tom  threw  a  five  and  landed 
on  the  Rip-off  Railroad. 
"Okay,"  he  announced,  "I'll 
buy  it."  "That'll  be  $500," 
said  Harry.  "$500?  You  own 
it?"  shouted  Tom.  "That's 
one  of  the  rules,  Tom.  Since  I 
own  the  board,  I  also  own  the 
railroads.  Sorry-but  the  rent's 
$200."  Tom  threw  the  money. 
"Well,"  said  Dick,  "Handed 
on  'Chance. '  I'll  just  pick  up  a 
card."  He  read  it  aloud:  "You 
owe  Southern  College.  Pay 
each  player  $1000,  or  go  to  jail 
for  not  wearing  a  helmet." 
Dick  paled.  "I'm-I'm 
ruined!"  Harry  smiled.  "See 
ya  at  the  cafe,  Dick!"  I  threw 


the  dice  very  carefully.  I 
landed  on  Camp  Road  and 
stated  that  I  wished  to  buy  it. 
"You  sure  about  that?"  asked 
Harry.  "Sure  you  wouldn't 
want  to  wait  and  see  if  you'll 
land  on  Student  Park  or  some- 
thing?" "No  Harry.  I'm 
buying."  01'  Harry  was  up  to 
some  tricks  for  sure. 

Harry  landed  on  Community 
Chest.  His  card  read:  "You 
have  just  eaten  at  the  C.K. 
and  survived.  Collect  $10  from 
each  player."  I  hated  Harry 
and  his  game.  We  continued. 
"Ah."  said  Tom,  "I've  landed 
on  Free  Parking!  Safe  at  last." 
"Sorry,"  pointed  out  Harry. 
"No  S.C. sticker  on  your  play- 
ing piece-pay  $100."  Tom's 
eyes  bulged.  Even  that  hurt.  It 
looked  as  if  he'd  have  to 
mortgage  his  houses  on  Api- 
son  Pike.  McDonald  Road, 
and  Ooltewah-Ringgold.  I  sug- 


CfosstiMg 


gested  to  Harry  that  I  should 
make  a  loan  to  Tom.  Indig- 
nantly, he  refused.  "You  al- 
ready owe  me  for  two  long-dis- 
tance calls  when  you  were  on 
my  Collegedale  Phone  Co."  I 
should  have  made  them  third 
party  when  he  wasn't  looking. 
1  landed  on  Luxury  Tax.  To 
wear  jewelry  on  this  spot,  you 
have  to  pay  $75  to  the  Dean  of 
Students  place,  which  Harry 
owned  too.  At  least  GO  was  in 
sight.Harry  landed  on  thatch- 
er  Hall.  "Monopoly!"  he 
cried.  "Now  I  own  all  the 
buildings  on  campus!  I'm 
rich-rich!"  Tom  and  1  politely 
stilled  our  yawns.  I  rolled  a  3 
and  passed  GO."I  finally  pas^ 
sedto,  I  said  wearily."  Now  to 
collect  $200."  "No-no!" 
smiled  Harry.  "On  this  board, 
when  vou  pass  GO,  vou  pay 
S.C.  $200."  Sobbing,  I  handed 
over  the  money.  Tom  was 
basically  out,  so  Harry  rolled 


the  dice.  "My,  my,"  he 
sweetlv  chirped.  "I've  landed 
on  Chance!  Why  not?"  He 
picked  up  the  Chance  card, 
read  it.  turned  three  colors  of 
green  and  fell  backward  in  a 
faint.  We  grabbed  the  card. 
"No  students  will  return  be- 
cause of  your  8  percent  in- 
crease, and  you  will  forfeit  all 
your  campus  holdings." 
"Boy."  said  Tom.  "The  way 
he  fainted.  I  thought  maybe 
the  card  said  worse."  "Bad 
enough."  I  agreed.  We  put 
the  game  back  together,  and 
laid  it  on  Harry's  chest. 
"Well,  I'll  see  you  Vic." 
"Vic.""Where  ya  headed?"  I 
asked,  as  he  jogged  out  the 
door  to  Thatcher.  "Pearl 
diving!"  Looking  at  Harry,  it 
was  better  than  Southern 
Monopoly.

week  and  for  some  reason 
never  appeared.  Won't  it 
be  funny  if  its  not  in  the 
paper  this  week  either?  I 
wouldn't  have  had  to  ex- 
plain why  you  are  getting  2 
classified  ads.  Maybe  you 
shouldn't  be  getting  any.  1 
guess  1  wouldn't  send  them 
to  someone  else  I  know. 
Well  enough  of  that.  Just 
wanted  to  say  "Hi,  hope 
you're  doing  fine  and  1  miss 
you."  And  if  I've  seen  you 
over  3  times  since  Monday 
that  might  not  apply  either! 
Take  care  O.K.?

listening  to  me  when  1

Farewel 


I  have  always  hated  going  to  funerals.  I  get  torn  up  inside  as 
I  think  about  that  person  who  is  no  longer  alive.  I  remember 
all  the  eood  times  and  wish  things  hadn't  changed.  This  is 
the  same  kind  of  emotional  upheaval  I  felt  when  I  first 
learned  that  Dr.  Knittel  was  leaving  at  the  end  of  this  school 


is  looking  over  a  job 
into  Dr.  Knittel's 
plush  couch.  The 
14-year-old  academy 
ase  with  his  friendly 


1  first  met  Dr.  Knittel  when  my  father  wi 
at   SMC.    I   remember  being   ushered 
spacious    office    and 
surroundings  seemed 
freshman,  but  Dr.  Knittel  put  me 
manner  and  pleasant  conversation. 

After  that  initial  meeting,  Dr.  Knittel  never  Torgot  my 
name.  He  always  impressed  me  with  the  fact  that  even 
though  I  was,  at  the  time,  just  an  academy  student,  he  knew 
who  I  was  and  would  speak  to  me  whenever  he  saw  me. 

Being  good  with  names  was  only  one  of  Dr.  Knittel's  strong 
points.  1  remember  looking  forward  to  his  talks  and 
sermons.  He  always  got  his  point  across  with  a  minimum  of 
words,  yet  he  managed  to  pack  his  speeches  with  interesting 
stories,  illustrations,  and  facts. 

Another  area  where  Dr.  Knittel  excelled  was  one-on-one. 
He  never  seemed  to  mind  taking  the  time  to  talk  with 
students.  !  remember  visiting  with  him  earlier  this  school 
year  after  I  was  elected  Southern  Accent  editor.  We  talked 
about  many  different  things  then  he  said,  "Ken,  1  am  going 
to  be  straight  with  you.  I'm  not  going  to  play  footsie  with  the 
paper  but  1  will  let  you  know  what  is  going  on." 

That  was  Dr.  Knittel.  He  wanted  each  of  us  to  be  informed 
so  we  could  make  logical  decisions  but  at  the  same  time,  he 
cared.  This  special  quality  about  Dr.  Knittel  makes  the 
parting  sad.  Yet,  at  the  same  time,  I  will  always  have 
pleasant  memories  of  the  college  president  who  knew  how  to 
relate  with  the  students  of  Southern  College.

Dear  Editor, 

My  letter  is  in  reference  to 
some  comments  on  drinking 
made  by  Mr.  Royce  J.  Earp  in 
his  letter  appearing  in  the 
March  31  issue  of  the  South- 
ern Accent.  First  I  would  like 
to  say  that  I  appreciate  Mr. 
Earp  saying  he's  "Not  an 
advocate  of  drinking,"  and  I 
am  not  writing  this  to  debate 
the  drinking  issue  with  Mr. 
Earp  or  anyone  else.  I  don't 
think  it's  "radical"  to  have 
questions  and  to  ask  them.  An 
inquisitive,  questioning  mind 
is  an  active,  learning  mind. 
Usually  the  problem  is 
whether  we  are  willing  to 
accept  the  real  answers  when 
we  get  them  or  if  we'll  dodge 
them  unless  they  go  along 
with  what  we  think  or  want. 

What  I  would  like  to  do  is 
bring  to  focus  some  facts, 
history,  and  ideas  about  drink- 
ing, as  I  see  them,  that  I 
believe  are  relevant  and 
should  be  considered. 
Earp's  mention  of  Eccl.  10:19 
and  the  oath  of  a  deacon  (I 
Tim.  3:8).  and  the  water-to- 
wine  miracle  by  Jesus  at  the 
wedding  feast  in  Cana  (John 
2:1-11)  seems  to  suggest  that 
the  Bible  may  support  the 
intake  of  wine,  at  least  to  some 
extent,  and  at  first  glance  a 
contradiction  does  seem  to  be 
present.  However,  we  might 
all  be  quite  enlightened  if  we 
took  a  look  at  the  meanings  of 
the  word  "wine"  in  the  Greek 
text.  Our  word  "wine"  is  very 
enclusive,  seemingly  serving 
for  everything  from  grape 
juice  to  grog,  in  the  Bible.  The 
wine  that  the  Jewish  people 
preferred,  however,  was  "new 
wine"  *  fresh  grape  juice. 


Alcohol  is  produced  in  direct 
proportion  to  the  sugar  con- 
tent in  a  liquid.  Now  days  the 
"Drink-making"  process  in- 
volves adding  sugar  to  our 
concoctions.  This  feeds  the 
bacteria  during  fermentation, 
which  produces  the  alcohol. 
When  sugar  stops  being 
added,  the  fermentation  pro- 

In  ancient  days  there  was 
only  natural  sugar,  and  since 
the  natural  sugar  content  in 
grape  juice  is  very  low,  the  old 
(fermented)  wine  of  the 
ancient  people  would  have 
been  only  about  3%  alcohol! 
One  may  wonder  how  anyone 
could  possibly  get  drunk  with 
only  a  3%  alcohol  content.  The 
Romans  solved  this  problem 
by  using  a  "vomitorium."  In 
this  way  they  took  tull  advan- 
tage of  the  fact  that  alcohol  is 
absorbed  into  the  bloodstream 
almost  immediately  upon  con- 
sumption. They'd  have  their 
drinks,  go  throw  up  the  un- 
wanted, leftover  portion  so 
they'd  have  room  for  more, 
come  back  to  the  banquet 
room,  drink  more,  and  go 
through  the  process  a^ain  and 
again  until  they  were  indeed 
successful  in  getting  drunk. 

In  polite  society,  however, 
people  drank  wine  as  a  mix- 
ture:1/! of  their  glass  or  goblet 
was  filled  with  wine  having 
■about  a  3%  alcohol  content 
and  the  other  2/3  was  filled 
with  either  hot  or  cold  water  to 
dilute  it.  (Does  that  help 
explain  why  there  were  6 
empty  waterpots  at  the  wed- 
ding in  Cana?)  Most  decent 
people  drank  fresh  grape  juice 
or  3%;  not  intoxicating  grog. 
So  if  a  deacon  took  an  oath 


"not  to  take  too  much  wine", 
it  seems  to  me  that  he  was 
promising,  at  most,  not  to  take 
much  "3%",  as  that's  about 
all  there  was  available.  Now 
that's  a  pretty  conservative 
standpoint  that  the  Bible 
takes,  it  seems  to  me-quite 
the  opposite  from  giving  us 
permission  to  drink  as  we 
please  today! 

I  agree  with  Earp  that  we  as 
Christians  need  to  search  the 
Bible  for  answers,  but  I  also 
believe  that  uneducatedly 
basing  a  conclusion  on  the 
surface  reading  of  a  couple  of 
texts  is  not  really  enough. 
What  about  texts  like  these: 
"Wine  is  a  mocker,  strong 
drink  is  raging;  and  who- 
soever is  deceived  thereby  is 
not  wise  {Prov.  20:1). 
"Woe  unto  him  that  giveth  to 
neighbor  drink,  that  puttetn 
thy  bottle  to  him,  and  makest 
him  drunken."  (Hab.  2:15), 
"Neither  fornicators,  nor 
idolators,  ...  not  theives,  nor 
covetous,  nor  drunkards,  ■  ■  • 
shall  inherit  the  kingdom  ol 
God."  (I  Cor.  6:9,10). 

So  much  more  can  be  said 
about  drinking.  It's  often  an 
expression  of  rebellion,  » 
escape,  a  crutch,  a  serious 
health  hazard  for  the  drinker 
as  well  as  his  off-spring,  ana. 
in  my  opinion,  a  terrible  waste 

of  money.  . 

Drink  ruins  and  takes  HJ-

cees, Steve  Decker  and  Steve 
Vogel  welcomed  the  audience.

solo  by  Brenda  LaBar,  fol- 
lowed by  a  flute  solo  by 
Wendy  Ripley  accompanied 
by  Sondra  Snider. 

Grand  Prize  winner,  chosen

Hawkins  for  his  performance 
of  "Truly."  Backing  him  were 
Reg  Rice,  Cedric  Calswell,

homme  and  Marty  Mixon. 

First  place  was  awarded  to 
Mauri  Land,  Ronda  Facundus,

and  Connie  Westcott  for  the 
medley,  "Sentimental  Jour- 
ney thru  the  40's."

Honorable  mention  went  to 
Steve  Grice  with  his  guitar, 
harmonica  and  vocal  per- 
formance of  "Lost  John." 

Other  acts  included  Steve 
Fitzgerald's  magic  ace,  and 
"For  Your  Eyes  Only,"  by 
Julie  Zacharias.  Lisa  Oilman 
and  Monte  Jenkins  sang  a 
duet,  "You  Make  Me  Smile 
Again."  Rita  Bata,  Malinda 
McKee.  Lisa  Mann,  and  Patti 
Gentry  pretended  to  sing  "Do 
You  Remember  These?" 

Considering  the  display  of 
talent  and  the  crazy  emcees, 
the  evening  proved  enjoyable 
for  all  who  attended.

In  the  twelve  years  as  South- 
ern College  President,  Dr. 
Frank  Knittel  has  touched  the 
lives  of  more  students  than 
any  other  president  in  the 
history  of  this  college.  Over  70 
percent  of  the  total  number  of 
graduates  of  SC  graduated 
during  Dr.  Knitters  adminis- 
tration. Sixty-one  percent 
actually  received  their 
diploma  from  his  hand. 

Growth  ana  acmevement 
have  characterized  Dr.  Knit- 
ters tenure  as  president.  En- 
rollment reached  the  highest 
levels  ever  under  Dr.  Knittel's 
leadership. 

The  college  plant  has  in- 
creased by  234,000  square 
feet,  with  the  addition  of  such 
buildings  as  the  student  cen- 
ter,     cafeteria,      Summerour 


Hall,  Talge  addition,  Thatcher 
nursing  building  and 
lie  building. 
The  book  value  of  Southern 
College's  assets  have  grown 
from  8  million  to  16  million 
dollars,  while  the  operating 
budget  has  increased  fourfold

Have  you  ever  thought  what 
it  might  be  like  to  be  able  to 
talk  to  God  and  have  Him  talk 
back  to  you,  to  carry  on  a 
conversation  with  God?  Lets 
imagine  what  it  might  be  like 
to  be  approached  by  God  in  a 
rather  unexpected  way. 

Student:  Roommate!  Would 
you  hurry  up  we  are  going  to 
be  late  for  breakfast.  Would 
you  look  at  this  room,  what  a 
mess-you  have  dripped  water 
all  over  the  place!  I  can't 
believe  it!  Roommate  where 
are  you? 

God:    My  son! 

Student:    What  was  that? 


Student:    What  is  going  « 
Who  are  you? 


God:     I  am  your   Fathe 


Student:  Come  on-Room- 
mate!  .  .  Are  you  up  to  your 
tricks  again?  Come  on,  get  out 
of  the  closet  and  quit  your 
funny  jokes. 

God:   Th  is  is  no  joke. 


Student:  Maybe  the  monitor 
is  fooling  around  with  the 
intercom. 

God:  No--this  is  your  Father 
in  heaven.  I  just  thought  it 
would  be  good  if  we  could  talk. 

Student:  Talk!  There  is  no  one 
to  talk  to.  Where  are  you?  My 
roommate  is  playing  tricks  on 
me  or  I  am  going  bananas. 

God:  No  tricks,  I  just  would 
like  to  talk  to  you. 

Student:  Why  today,  why 
now,  why  me? 

God:  I  thought  that  it  would 
be  good  if  we  could  have  some 
spiritual  talks-talks  about 
where  you  were  heading  with 
your  life. 

Student:  I  feel  silly— I  am 
talking  to  myself.  If  someone 
came  in  the  room,  they  would 
send  for  the  men  with  the 
white  coats. 

God:  1  really  don't  want  to 
frighten  you.  I  think  that  it  is 
time  that  we  had  a  heart  to 
heart  talk  about  where  you 
were  headed  with  your  life. 


Student:  I  appreciate  Your 
interest  but  really,  well,  I 
guess  I  just  never  thought  that 
You  would,  well,  1  mean,  talk 


God:  You  are  very  important 
and  I  am  concerned  about 
where  you  are  headed.  You 
know  that  in  recent  days  you 
have  been,  well  might  I  say 
drifting  spiritually. 

Student:  You  might  put  it  that 
way--if  you  were  kind— if  you 
were  a  bit  more  blunt  you 
might  say  that  1  have  blown  it. 

God:  Yes,  well  I  was  not  going 
to  be  quite  so  blunt. 

Student:  Have  I  lost  out?  It  is 
so  hard  sometimes.  You  don't 
alwavs  seem  very  real  to  me. 
Except  now—you  certainly 
seem  real  now-a  bit  too  real. 


God:  I  am  sorry. 
Student:  Hey,  I  didn't  mean 
to  hurt  you.  It  is  just  that, 
well,  you  have  never  seemed 
that  real  to  my  day  to  day 
activities.  I  didn't  hurt  you, 
did  I? 


God:    Anytime  I  arn  rejected 

by   those   I   have    made    and 

given  my  life  for,  I  will  have  to    waverings 

say  it  hurts. 

Student:  Until  talking  to  you 
like  this  I  haven't  thought 
about  how  You  could  really  be 
hurt  but  now  talking  to  you 
makes  you  so  real  I  guess  I  can 
see  how  you  could  be  hurt.  Do

God:  Not  love  you  so  much?!?

God:   You  certainly  do!

The         Alps—    a 
discovery    in 
pictures 


From  Munich's  Glockenspiel 
to  Maria  Gem's  chapel  spire, 
bells  ring  throughout  Kodak's 
newest  multimedia  travel 
show,  "The  Alps-A  Discovery 
in  Pictures." 

"Probably  one  of  the  pret- 
tiest sounds  you  hear  in  the 
Alps  is  the  sound  of  cow- 
bells," says  the  directing 
photographer  of  the  all-new 
Kodak  extravaganza.  "These 
cows  are  always  standing  on 
the  steep  mountainsides  look- 
ing like  they're  going  to  topple 
off  at  any  moment.  Around 
their  necks,  they've  got  dis- 
tinctive-sounding bells  that 
help  each  herdsman  keep 
track  of  his  own  animals.  A  lot 
of  people  like  to  hear  the 
sound  of  the  ocean,  but,  while 
we  were  in  theAlps,  we  fell  in 
love  with  the  gentle  tinkling  of 
the  cowbells." 

To  record  that  sound  and  the 
charming  customs  that  sur- 
round it,  the  photographers 
went  to  Appenzell,   Switzer- 


land. There,  they  pictured  the 
mountainside  farms  and  vil- 
lage festivals  centered  around 
the  cows  and  their  bells. 

"To  the  people  of  the  Alpine 
countries,  an  'alp'  is  a  higher 
pasture,"  explains  the  photo- 
grapher. "Each  spring,  thev 
herd  their  cows  up  into  the 
Alps.  Each  fall,  they  celebrate 
their  safe  return.  In  the  show, 
we  follow  the  story  all  the  way 
through  from  the  making  of 
the  cowbells  to  the  colorful 
festivities  for  which  even  the 
cows  get  dressed  up." 

This  typical  Alpine  tale  joins 
sight-and-sound  "discover- 
ies" from  throughout  the 
mountainous  regions  of  Aus- 
tria, Germany,  Italy,  Switzer- 
land and  Yugoslavia  in  Ko- 
dak's latest  travel  show.  But, 
if  any  sound  lingers  in  the  gym 
after  the  presentation,  it  will 
most  certainly  be  the  sound  of 
Alpine  bells.

Cont'd  from  page  2 

as  true.  Philip  L.  Griffin,  chief 
probation  officer  of  the 
Municipal  Court  of 

Minneapolis,  says  "Practi- 
cally 90  percent  of  the  cases 
that  come  through  the  court,  . 
•  .  are  as  a  result  of  drinking." 
When  I  think  about  my  friend 
Dan,  a  young  man  who,  to  all 
outward  appearances,  would 
fit  in  perfectly  on  our  campus, 
but  who  is  incarcerated  be- 
cause he  killed  a  man  while 
intoxicated,  or  when  I  think  of 
Pat,  who  lost  a  parent  because 
of  drink,  or  Jed  who  has  spent 


many  more  years  in  than  out 
of  institutions,  partly  due  to 
drinking,  or  of  Campbell,  who 
had  the  ability  to  be  a  1st  rate 
boxer,  and  was  well  on  his 
way,  but  got  mixed  up  in 
drink,  (and  the  list  could  go  on 
and  on!),  I  can  see  plainly  that 
drinking  leads  to  no  good  end. 
It  can  drag  the  best  of  us 
down.  No  one  gets  involved  in 
drinking  thinking  "I  recognize 
I'm  going  to  move  from  Main 
Street  to  Skid  Row  and  lose 
most  of  what's  important  to 
me,  maybe  even  my  freedom, 
or  my  life,  and  I  gladly  accept 
that  as  a  good  trade,"  rather, 
we  all  believe  that  we   can 


handle  and  control  ourselvS 
with  it.  The  statistics  are  *« 
revealing,    and   convmce J 
otherwise.   Ill  John  2  say 
"Beloved,   I  wish  above  « 
things  that  thou  mayest  pw 
sper  and  be  in  health,  e"""5 
thy  soul  prospered!. 
To  me  it  is  plain  that  the  W

It  was  so  cold  yesterday,  I 
saw  a  politician  with  his  hands 
in  his  own  pocket. 

Commenting  on  a  student 
coming  in  late,  (Craig  Cal- 
houn): "This  is  the  earliest 
he's  been  late." 


A  guy  came  into  a  bar  and 
asked  for  a  (soya)  beer  before 
the  big  fight.  Downing  that, 
he  asked  for  two  more.  Finish- 
ing them,  the  bartender 
asked,  "What  big  fight?"  "I 
haven't  got  any  money." 

Some  guy  just  bought  a  VW 
and  was  upset.  He  went  over 
to  his  neighbor  and  said.  "I 
just  bought  a  VW  and  it  hasn't 
got  a  motor  under  the  hood." 
"Don't  worry,"  his  friend 
consoled,  "I  just  bought  one. 
too,  and  they  gave  me  an  extra 
in  the  trunk." 

Benny  found  a  magic  lamp, 
and  was  granted  one  wish.  He 
wanted  to  live  forever,  but  the 
genie  said,  "Only  if  you  don't 
cut  your  hair,  for  if  you  do,  you 
will  be  turned  into  an  urn." 


Benny  found  a  girl  and  fell  in 
love,  but  she  would  not  marry 
him  unless  he  cut  his  hair.  He 
did.  and  the  spell  took  place. 
The  moral:  A  Benny  shaved  is 
a  Benny  urned. 

Two  Chinese  women  came 
off  the  boat  just  as  a  lady 
nearby  fell  out  of  her  window 
into  some  trash  below.  Pass- 
ing by.  the  women  muttered, 
"Wasteful  Americans!  She 
still  had  10  years  left  in  her!" 

"I  trust  everybody  in  this

Having  played  golf  for  more 
than  six  years  1  can  un- 
doubtedly say  that  one  of  the 
most  important  factors  is  not 
only  shooting  a  good  round  of 
golf  but  also  more  importantly 
to  thoroughly  enjoy  your  game 
is  to  have  a  good  short  game. 

A  short  game  consists  of  any 
club  selection  from  an  eight 
iron  thru  a  sand  wedge.  Of 
course  if  you  are  hitting  any  of 
these  clubs  you  should  be  to 
within  130-140  yards  of  the 
green,  and  usually  when  you 
are  this  close  you  are  trying  to 
put  the  ball  as  close  to  the  pin 
as  possible.  First  of  all,  you 
need  to  make  the  proper  club 
selection,  without  hits  you've 
already  been  beaten.  If  you 
are  130  yards  away  and  cannot 
decide  between  a  hard  nine  or 
an  easy  eight,  always  go  with 
the  easy  eight,  this  way  you 
don't  have  to  swing  as  hard 
and  you  have  more  control  on 
the  ball.  Now,  aligning  your- 
self up  for  that  shot.  First  of 
all,  body  and  shoulders  should 
be  squared  and  lined  up 
directly  at  the  target  with  the 
ball  in  the  middle  of  your 
stance  and  your  legs  a  little 
closer  together  than  normal  as 
if  you  were  hitting  a  low  ' 


Alsi

clubface  directly  at  the  target. 
Secondly,  keep  your  head 
down  on  the  ball  and  watch  it 
leave  the  club,  this  way  you 
can  train  yourself  to  not  pick 
your  head  up.  Thirdly,  CON- 
CENTRATE!!! This  probably 
determines  the  success  of 
each  golf  shot.  There  is  no 
physical  definition  for  this, 
this  now  is  all  discipline. 

After  you  have  gone  through 
these  steps  and  have  hit  your 
golf  shot  you  should  have 
done  either  one  of  these  three 
things-left  it  short  of  the 
green  on  the  fringe,  left  is 
short  into  a  sand  trap,  or  you 
successfully  hit  the  green.  If 
you    did    the    first,    I    would 

choke  down  the  club,  put  the 
ball  in  the  back  of  your  stance 
and  punch  it  towards  the  hole. 
This  takes  the  place  of  a  lofted 
wedge.  If  you  did  the  second, 
remember  these  basic 


a  half  to  two  inches  behind  the 
ball  and  explode  out  of  the 
trap  while  keeping  your  body 
weight  shifted  to  the  left.  If 
you  did  the  last,  your  ready  to 
putt  and  the  first  thing  to  do  is 
to  read  the  green  to  check  for 
any  break  in  your  putt.  Next 
bring  the  putter  straight  back 
and  straight  through  never 
breaking  your  wrist  and  al- 
ways keeping  the  body  and 
especially  your  head  steady 
during  the  entire  putting 
stroke. 

The  short  game  is  what  wins 
the  money  for  the  pro's  and 
could  help  Pettyjohn  beat  me 
occasionally  if  he  had  one.  It 
probably  takes  the  most  prac- 
tice but  will  eventually  pay  off 
in  the  long  run.  If  you  don't 
believe  me,  read  any  article  by 
or  about  Tom  Watson.

Academy 
students    visit 


Approximately  500  students 
from  various  academies  and 
high  schools  in  the  Southern, 
Columbia,  and  Lake  Unions 
came  to  SC  for  the  annual 
College  Days  festivities  last 
weekend. 

The  activities  planned  -in- 
cluded campus  tours,  CLEP 
and  ACT  tests,  a  Continental 
breakfast,  departmental  meet- 
ings, and  a  special  evening 
reception  where  the  visiting 
students  were  introduced  to 
next  year's  SA  officers. 

At  the  evening  reception,  12 
Southern  College  shirts  and  12 
SC  painter  hats  were  given 
away  to  the  prospective  stu- 


These  academy  seniors  were 
housed  in  both  Talge  "and 
Thatcher  dorms  and  were 
given  an  opportunity  to  re- 
serve rooms  for  the  coming 
school  year. 

According  to  Joseph  Robert- 
son, SA  Vice-President,  "It 
was  a  smashing  success,  and  I 
hope  our  fantastic  Southern 
hospitality  pays  off  next  fall.  I 
think  that  any  intelligent 
senior  will  see  that  Southern 
College  is  the  only  place  to  be. 
And  if  they  don't  come  here, 
well.  .  .  it  just  makes  you 
wonder." 


Senate    ends 


The  last  senate  meeting  of 
the  year  was  typical  of  most 
senate  meetings  but  had  a 
different  ending  than  usual. 
Besides  the  regular  agenda 
items  and  the  usual  com- 
ments, senate  was  given  a 
special  look  at  the  annual  AIA 
convention  that  was  held 
March  31-April  4. 

Joe  Robertson,  Peggy 
Brandenburg,  Maureen  May- 
den,  J.T.  Shim,  Glenn 
McElroy  and  Alvin  Franklin 
were  all  given  opportunities  to 
speak  about  the  meetings  and 
give  their  opinions  concerning 
the  value  of  AIA.  Peggy 
Brandenburg,  incoming  Social 
Activities  Director,  felt  that 
the  ideas  shared  with  other 
schools  would  be  helpful  in  the 
coming  year.  "I  really  appre- 
ciated the  film  list  that  each 
school  gave  out.  I  think  it  will 
be  helpful  next  year  when  I 
!  work  with  the  film  committee 
deciding  what  to  show  next 
[year." 

Joseph  Robertson,  outgoing 
SA  Vice-President  and  J.T. 
Shim,  incoming  SA  Vice-Pres- 
:  idem  both  agreed  that  the 
meetings  were  helpful  to 
I  them,  even  though  Joe  said 
J  that  he  wished  he  had  known 
before  this  year  began. 
|  Maureen  Mayden,  incoming 
I  Southern  Accent  editor,  stated 
I  mat  she  enjoyed  the  meetings 
[because  the  various  editors 
|  ta'ked  about  their  problems 
[and  how  they  solved  them. 
After  senate  was  dismissed, 
°rown'es  and  potato  chips 
l*fre  made  available  to  the 
^senators. 

Jlenn  McElroy,  incoming  SA 


President,  expressed  his 
appreciation  for  the  leadership 
that  Alvin  Franklin  showed 
throughout  the  convention. 
Alvin  Franklin,  outgoing  SA 
President,  felt  that  the 
delegation  from  SC  was  very 
organized  and  commended 
them  for  their  conduct 
throughout  the  convention. 
Mr.  Robert  Merchant  second- 
ed the  appreciation  for  the 
behavior  of  the  delegates,  and 
Elder  K.R.  Davis  spoke  about 
the  upgrading  of  the  meetings 
that  made  this  year's  conven- 
tion a  more  profitable  time  for 
the  various  officers  repre- 
sented. 

Maureen  Mayden  then  gave 
a  short  presentation  concern- 
ing the  new  typesetting 
machine  that  the  SA  is  con- 
sidering buying  for  the  South- 
ern Accent.  Questions  from 
the  senators  included, 
"Where  will  the  money  come 
from?"  and  "Will  it  really 
help  the  paper?" 

Mayden  told  the  Senators, 
"The  SA  does  have  some 
funds  set  aside  for  this  sort  of 
purpose  and  what  is  needed 
above  that  will  be  funded 
through        Senate        Project 

"The  new  machine  will 
indeed  save  time  and  money," 
Mayden  assured  the  senators. 
"If  we  had  our  typesetting 
done  at  the  College  Press,  it 
will  cost  about  $6,200  a  year. 
This  is  for  the  same  service 
that  now  costs  us  approxi- 
mately $2,000/year  now.  It 
will  also  save  time  and  hope- 
fully get  the  paper  staff  to  bed 
at  a  decent  hour  next  year."

Church     officials     disciplined 


The  Georgia-Cumberland 
Conference  of  Seventh-day 
Adventists  has  released  the 
names  of  four  former  and 
present  employees  who  will  be 
disciplined  concerning  the 
Davenport  affair. 

In  a  three-page  special  report 
to  members  of  the  Georgia- 
Cumberland  Conference  dated 
April  5,  the  Conference 
Executive  Committee  and  As- 
sociation Board  outlined  the 
involvement  of  conference 
personnel  with  the  Davenport 
loans,  revealed  planned  disci- 
pline and  cleared  several  con- 
ference officials  who  had  been 
under  investigation. 

Desmond  Cummings,  Sr., 
President,  and  chairman  of 
the  Georgia-Cumberland  Con- 
ference Committee  and  the 
Georgia  Conference  Associa- 
tion Board  from  June  1964  to 
July  1980,  received  the  strong- 
est discipline  and  criticism. 
The  Study  Commission  stated 
that  Cummings  received  a 
higher  rate  of  interest  on  some 
of  his  investments  with 
Davenport  than  the  con- 
ference was  receiving  and  that 
Cummings  was  in  partnership 
with  Davenport  on  some  busi- 
ness transactions. 

It  was  also  found  that  Cum- 
mings received  finder's  fees 
on  money  loaned  to  Davenport 
by  various  entities  such  as  the 
Florida  Conference  Associa- 
tion. From  1976-1980,  Cum- 
mings received  over  5250,000 


in  money  and  assets  from 
Davenport. 

The  report  also  revealed  that 
the  Georgia  Conference  As- 
sociation advanced  $600,000 
for  the  construction  of  a 
Southwestern  Bell  Telephone 
Company  building  in  Temple, 
Texas  for  which  the  Deed  of 
Trust  was  never  received. 
After  construction  was  com- 
pleted, Cummings  purchased 
the  building  from  Davenport 
and  received  a  clear  title  for 
the  property. 

The    Conference    Executive 

Committee    voted    that    Des- 

ld  Cummings,  Sr.   should 


not  be  eligible  for  employment 
by  any  unit  of  the  SDA 
church;  that  he  should  not 
function  as  an  SDA  minister; 
that  he  should  possibly  receive 
additional  church  discipline 
and  that  the  association  pur- 
sue any  and  all  sources  of 
remedy  available  to  recover 
losses  sustained  as  a  result  of 
the  Davenport  bankruptcy. 
Jack  Price,  who  served  as  a 
board  member  of  the  Georgia 
Conference  Association  from 
June  1966  to  May  1981.  was 
cited  for  possible  conflict  of 
interest.  Price  apparently  re-

Gymnasts  present  homeshow 


The  Physical  Education  Cen- 
ter was  packed  on  Saturday 
night,  April  9,  as  the  Southern 
College  Gymnastic  Team  gave 
its  home  show  for  students, 
friends  and  families. 

A  variety  of  apparatus  was 
used  as  members  of  the  team 
performed  their  routines  in- 
cluding Darla  Jarret  on  the 
beam  and  Tammy  Wittenburg 
on  the  uneven  parallel  bars. 

Several  doubles  and  group 
routines  were  exhibited  in- 
cluding a  new  triples  routine 
by  Myron  Mixon,  Beth  Hadley 
and  Charlie  Byrd  and  the  chair 
routine  by  Richie  Moore  and 
Mike  Colfum. 

Highlights  of  the  evening 
began  with  a  floor  routine  by 


Jeff  Osborn  and  continued 
with  a  colorful  ribbon  routine 
by  Diana  Johnson  and  Sandra 
Bedwell.  Other  features  were 
a  baton  routine  by  Julie 
McClarty,  a  doubles  routine 
by  Debra  Drafts  and  Charlie 
Byrd  and  a  favorite  of  last 
year.  The  Southern  Gents. 

Dr.  Jerry  McGill,  program 
emcee,  gave  personal  insights 
as  he  introduced  team  mem- 
bers. McGill  then  called  up 
Coach  Phil  Garver  and  sang  an 
original  song  in  dedication  for 
his  years  of  service. 
The  final  touch  was  added 
when  the  team  threw  roses  to 
the  audience  at  the  end  of  the 
program. 


2/SOUTHERN  COLLEGE/April  14.  1983 


*A  I  A     -  -     worth 
the      cost 


Is  AIA  really  worth  the  cost?  Does  it  really  benefit  the 
students?  I  say  yes.  1  gained  a  lot  of  ideas  and  information 
through  the  meetings  that  will  be  helpful  in  running  the 
Southern  Accent  next  year.  I  am  glad  I  went. 

It  was  interesting  to  note  that  several  papers  had  the  same 
problems  and  to  discuss  various  reasons  and  suggestions  for 
solving  those  problems.  I  enjoyed  getting  to  know  the  other 
editors  and  talking  with  them  concerning  the  content  and 
views  of  their  papers;  I  felt  like  the  convention  was  well 
worth  the  money,  and  not  just  because  I  could  go. 

I  think  that  if  every  student  could  go  it  would  be  beneficial  to 
them  to  actually  find  out  what  other  schools  are  like.  Perhaps 
a  lot  of  the  prejudices  that  exist  would  be  broken  down  and 
more  interaction  would  occur  between  schools. 

It  is  really  a  shame  that  so  many  preconceived  ideas  are 
made  about  other  Adventist  colleges  falsely.  Some  students 
at  the  convention  told  us  that  they  had  heard  some  rumors 
about  SC  that  were  totally  untrue,  but  nobody  bothered  to 
find  out  for  sure  before  talking.  And  some  things  that  I  had 
heard  about  some  other  colleges  proved  to  be  wrong  also. 

I  think  that  the  interaction  and  the  discussion  that  goes  on  at 
each  AIA  convention  is  important  and  well  worth  the  time, 
effort,  and  money  that  the  colleges  put  forth. 

If  Southern  College  gets  a  chance  to  host  the  convention 
anytime  in  the  near  future,  I  think  it  would  be  an  excellent 
chance  for  the  students  to  find  out  first-hand  exactly  what  the 
meetings  are  about.  But  the  best  way  is  to  run  for  an  office 


nd  go  yourself!

eflect  the  opinions  ol  the  * 
Adventist  church  or  (tie    1 

Dear  Editor, 

I  just  read  your  editorial  in 
the  March  17,  1983,  issue  of 
your  newspaper  Southern 
Accent,  and  I  am  quite 
appalled. 

In  the  editorial  you  made 
reference  to  a  Columbia  Union 
College  ad  that  ran  in 
academy  newspapers  of  the 
Columbia  Union.  You  seemed 
displeased  with  the  ad  in 
general  and  especially  with 
certain  statements.  Also,  you 
stated  that  those  statements 
are  misleading,  and  you  impli- 
cated that  they  are  erroneous. 

As  a  student  at  CUC  I  must 
inform  you  of  the  facts.  First 
of  all,  everything  mentioned  in 
the  ad  is  true.  Of  course,  I  can 
back  up  that  statement. 

Of  all  Seventh-day  Adventist 
colleges,"  CUC  does  have  a 
monopoly  on  jobs  that 
provide  practical  experience 
due  to  its  proximity  to  Wash- 
ington, D.C.  Most  of  the 
federal  agencies  are  located  in 
Washington,  and  the  Office  of 
Personnel  Management  runs  a 
very  effective  "Stay-in- 
School"  program  which  pro- 
vides students  with  part-time 
jobs  in  the  federal  agencies. 
Also,  CUC  possesses  an 
excellent  Cooperative  Educa- 
tion department  and  Job  Re- 
ferral Office  that  has  been 
very  successful  in  helping 
interested  students  find  jobs- 
not  to  mention  the  many 
private  corporations  whose 
offices  are  located  in  our  area 
and  provide  additional  jobs  for 


CUC  students. 

You  claimed  that  "...  there 
is  a  whole  spectrum  of  jobs 
available  for  students  at 
Southern  College"  and  you 
went  on  to  give  examples  of 
the  locations  of  those  jobs  (off 
campus).  However,  according 
to  your  employment  office, 
approximately  12.06%  (about 
200)  of  your  students  work  off 
campus.  Of  those,  80  work  at 
one  place:  McKee's.  (Ah,  the 
Cookie  Factory?)  In  contrast, 
53%  (875  students)  work  on 
campus.  Evidently  the  other 
35%  are  not  employed  or  did 
not  report  employment.  At 
CUC  only  31%  (230  students) 
work  on  campus,  while  about 
64%  are  employed  off  cam- 
pus, with  about  5%  not  report- 
ing employment. 

Your  student  finance  office 
reports  tuition  for  a  15  hour  or 
less  class  load  as  $167  per 
credit  hour  and  decreasing  to 
$148  for  16  hours  and  above. 
At  CUC,  tuition  runs  at  $159 
p;r  credit  hour  for  15  hours  or 
less  and  $149  per  hour  for  16 
hours  and  above.  Therefore, 
CUC  is  $8  cheaper  for  a 
student  taking  15  hours  and 
only  SI  more  per  hour  than  SC 
for  16  hours  and  above!  How 
could  you  say  that  Southern 
College  costs  hundreds  of 
dollars  less  than  CUC? 

Apparently  you  have  never 
visited  CUC.  If  you  have,  you 
must  have  noticed  that  the 
campus  is  not  located  near  the 
areas  of  D.C.  notorious  for 
their  high  crime   rate.    And, 


Washington  does  not  have  an 
unusually  high  crime  rate  for  a 
city  of  its  size  and  population. 
Decaying  city?  Again,  I  find  it 
hard  to  believe  that  you  have 
visited  the  Washington  metro- 
politan area. 
You  really  should  have  givea 
CUC  more  credit  and  realized 
that  we  would  not  print  incor- 
rect information  in  our  ads. 
And     research     before    you

Letters 
con't. 

Dear  Editor, 

1  am  writing  this  letter  con- 
cerning last  Wednesday's 
"Spring  Fling." 

Like  many  other  students 
here  at  S.C.  I  enjoy  letting 
loose  every  once  in  a  while  for 
a  change  of  pace,  and  having  a 
chance  to  be  creative.  "Spring 
Fling"  is  just  the  thing  for 
that.  So,  I  enthusiastically  got 
all  dressed  up  Wednesday, 
only  to  be  stopped  at  DanieU's 
Hall  by  Dean  Christman  who 
proceded  to  tell  me  to  "go 
take  that  off  right  now!  We're 
not  trying  to  promote  that 
punk  stuff!" 

If  I  remember  correctly  the 
Campus  Chatter  advertised 
"Spring  Fling"  by  saying, 
"This  is  a  day  when  almost 
anything  goes."  It  also  went 
on  to  include  the  phrase 
"punk  out."  Also,  there  were 
various  signs  around  campus 
telling    everyone    to    '  'punk 

I  might  add  that  both  the 
advertisement  in  the  Chatter 
and  the  posted  signs  had  to  be 
approved  by  the  administra- 
tion before  they  were  printed

I  think  maybe  in  the  future, 
faculty  members  should  make 
sure  that  they  are  aware  of 
events  going  on  around  cam- 
pus before  they  start  singling 
out  certain  persons  and  en- 
forcing their  own  personal 
opinions.

for  him."  They  will  be  a 
people  who  take  their  Lord 
and  their  religion  seriously,  a 
people  who  would  give  their 
lives  to  further  the  message 
which  they  will  have  fought  so 
long  to  further.  Their  creative 
energies  will  have  been  totally 
focused  on  uplifting  the  name 
and  character  of  their  Lord 
and  Saviour. 

The  April  1  issue  of  the 
Tennussee  Twang  clearly  re- 
vealed the  creative  ability  and 
hard  work  invested  by  the 
writers  and  editorial  staff.  The 
article  about  Southern  College 
winning  twenty-five  million 
from  a  law  suit  with  CUC,  the 
classifieds,  and  the  newsbriefs 
were  good  examples  of  crea- 
tive writing.  I  think  that  this 
paper  shows  a  real  potential 
for  the  future. 

However,  I  think  that  it 
would  not  be  fair  to  pass  by 
the  negative  and  subtly  dan- 
gerous attitudes  manifest  in  a 
good  share  of  the  articles. 
Without  offense  to  the  au- 
thors, the  section  of  the  paper 
entitled  the  "Adventist  Ar- 
cade" seemed  to  be  anti- 
religious.  The  names  of  well 
meaning  churches  were  ridi- 
culed. How  often  have  we  felt 
the  pangs  of  propagandas 
joking?  Naturally,  we  resent 
other  churches  calling  us  a 
cult  or  any  other  negative 
name;  therefore,  it  seems  only 
fair  that  we  treat  the  religious 
community  with  the  same 
respect  that  we  have  so  long 
asked  for. 

I  know  people  from  a 
diversity  of  religions  who  have 
come  in  contact  with  our 
school  publications.  One  such

Editor's  Note—The.  following 
letter  refers  to  the  April 
Fool's  issue  of  the  Southern 
Accent,  the  Tennussee 
Twang.  The  issue,  which  con- 
tained humorous  stories, 
articles,  and  classifieds,  was 
circulated  only  to  dorm  stu- 
dents on  this  campus. 

Dear  Editor, 

Recently  in  my  study  of  the 
Bible,  I've  come  to  the  con- 
clusion that  we  are  truly  living 
in  earth's  last  days  of  history. 
The  scriptures  emphatically 
reveal  the  character  of  those 
people  who  will  say,  "Lo,  this 


Tennessee  Temple  Baptist 
College.  He  felt  like  he  found 
Christianity  on  that  campus. 
Unfortunately,  he  did  not 
think  too  highly  of  Southern, 
College.  This  person  was  not 
the  only  person  I  know  who 
has  come  in  contact  with  our 
campus  publications.  Many 
students,  both  Christian  and 
non-Christian,  work  at 
McKees  and  come  to  and  fro 
on  this  campus.  These  people 
are  constantly  watching  us, 
seeing  whether  or  not  we  are 
serious  about  what  we  preach. 
Perhaps  even  more  danger- 
ous than  the  effect  upon  the 
community  is  the  effect  that  is 
subliminally     exerted     upon 


ourselves.  It  is  a  law  of  our 
being  that  by  dwelling  upon 
and  giving  attention  to  our 
religious  doubts  and  preju- 
dices, we  are  in  fact  lowering 
our  defense  against  Satan's 
attacks.  If  ever  there  was  a 
time  that  we  should  speak 
highly  of  our  church  and 
respectively  of  others,  it  is 
now.  The  church  has  too  long 
been  the  subject  of  criticism 
and  cheap  jokes.  The  stakes 
involved  are  high.  Eternity  is 
at  stake. 

In  the  final  assessment,  I 
would  like  to  appeal  to  the 
principles  at  stake.  Are  we, 
the  future  intellectual  and 
spiritual  leaders  of  the  church, 
succumbing  to  the  ways  of  the 
cynic  and  the  sacrilegious 
agnostics?  The  trends  seem 
too  painfully  clear!  God's 
name,  character,  and  people 
are  joked  and  ridiculed  in  a 
way  that  causes  heaven  to 
weep.  Shall  we,  the  last 
ambassadors  of  hope  to  a 
dying  world,  lift  up  the  cross, 
or  shall  we  instead  take  God's 
name  and  lower  it  in  the  dust? 
All  heaven  was  poured  out  so 
that  the  character  of  God 
might  be  clearly  revealed  rfo  a 
perishing  world.  Satan  has  too 
many  footholds  in  the  world- 
are  we  to  grant  him  another?  I 
appeal  to  the  writers  of  future 
issues  of  our  school  paper  to 
hold  high  the  standards  of 
Christianity.  I  hope  and  pray 
that  future  issues  will  be 
screened  by  a  thoughtful, 
conscientous  committee.  I 
think  that  the  Tennussee 
Twang  has  potential.  In  the 
future,  I  would  like  to  see 
more  of  it. 

Sincerely, 

Michael  Davis 

Edward  Doe 


God's  work,  His  Sabbath,  and 
His  mission  for  us  to  do  on  this 
earth  is  far  beyond  the  true 
Christian's  mind  and  intelli- 
gence. The  people  who  wrote 
these  games  have  expressed 
their  relationship  with  Jesus 
Christ  as  a  nothing  relation- 
ship. I'm  sure  Jesus  must  be 
crying  at  the  ill  humor,  but  I'm 
sure  Satan  is  laughing.  After 
all  weren't  they  meant  to  be 

Let  us,  as  a  Christian  school, 
keep  our  level  of  Christianity 
and  not  stoop  to  the  level  of 
this  world.

Dear  Editor, 

As  a  newcomer  to  Southern 
College,  I  very  much  appre- 
ciated the  Tennussee  twang, 
the  April  Fool's  Day  paper 
produced  by  the  Southern 
Accent  staff.  I  found  the 
satirical  views  such  as  the 
"vegetarian"  video  game  sec- 
tion and  the  article  on  the 
"KGB  agent"  especially  en- 
joyable. It's  nice  to  know  that 
everyone,  students  and  fac- 
culty,  can  laugh  together  at  a 

It  is  good  to  get  away  from 
the  dreary,  everyday  contro- 
versial news  that  we  read 
every  week  in  the  Southern 
Accent.  This  is  not  to  say  that 
the  Accent  is  unnecessarily 
boring;  it  does  its  job  of 
reporting  the  facts  very  well. 
But  so  many  controversial  and 
negative  things  are  happening 
that  it  tends  to  be  discourag- 
ing reading.  I  found  the 
Tennussee  Twang  to  be  very 
effective  in  taking  my  mind  off 
the  regular  daily  routine. 

The  Twang  provided  a  bright 
spot  in  the  week.  It  was  pure 
entertainment,  relaxing,  and 
enjoyable. 


Dear  Editor, 

I  would  like  to  express  my 
displeasure  with  the  recent 
fennuessee  Twang.  Even 
though  the  paper  was  written 
as  an  April  Fool's  joke,  some 
of  the  subjects  to  pick  as  jokes 
were  very  low-class  to  say  the 

The  Adventist  Arcade  is  an 
example,  with  the  games, 
Sintipede,  Trac'tman,  Mes- 
siah Command,  Grace  Inva- 
ders, Pasteroids,  DeFrocker 
and  Darwin  Kong.  To  stoop 
that  low  and  make  a  joke  of 


Dear  Editor, 

We  are  writing  in  reference 
to  the  "Valley  Bible"  ad  in  the 
Tennussee  Twang  {April  1, 
1983).  We  could  comment  on 
various  parts  of  the  paper 
which  seemed  to  be  very 
questionable  for  a  Christian 
school,  yet  due  to  space,  we 
will  stick  to  "The  Valley 
Bible"  feature. 


As  we  know,  the  Bible  for 
centuries  has  been  referred  to 
as  the  "sacred  Scriptures," 
for  they  are  indeed  sacred. 
The  Bible  is  unlike  any  other 
book  ever  written,  because  in 
it  God  speaks  to  us.  Therefoje 
Christians  have  not  made  light 
of  this  "Sacred  Book."  Nor  do 
we  feel  it  justifiable  then,  that 
the  Tennussee  Twang  (even  in 
fun),  should  be  able  to  do  so. 

It  not  so  much  upsets  us.  but 
rather  makes  us  sad  to  see 
how  Christian  writers  would 
stoop  so  low  as  to  "in  fun" 
take  pot  shots  at  God's  holy 
Word. 

If  this  is  the  type  of  attitude 
that  these  writers  have  in 
that  these  writers  have  in- 
tended to  represent  the  posi- 
tion of  the  S.C.  student  body, 
in  regards  to  the  Bible,  then 
perhaps  we  as  Christians 
ought  to  re-examine  our 
values  and  our  relationships 
with  Jesus. 

We  ask,  would  Jesus  Christ 
in  His  holiness  rejoice  over 
such  an  article?

Dear  Editor, 

Concerning  the  Tennussee 
Twang,  1  have  heard  a  lot  of 
negative  flack,  and  I  do  realize 
that  it  dealt  with  some  pretty 
touchy  subjects  (obviously). 
But  I  seem  to  recall  the  fact 
that  it  was  the  Twang,  and  it 
was  put  out  on  April  1st  which 
happens  to  be  April  Fool's 
Day.  Usually  on  this  day  when 
anything  said,  written  or  done 
is  questionable  one  tries  to 
kind  of  look  over  it  at  least  if 
one  has  any  sense  of  humor. 

I'll  admit  parts  of  the  paper 
kind  of  turned  me  off,  but  I 
just  skimmed  over  those  parts, 
soon  forgetting  them,  as  I 
thought  the  good  out-weighed 
the  bad.  I'm  just  glad  the 
school  and  it's  paper  has 
enough  spunk  to  create  and 
print  an  entire  issue  that's 
crazy.  I  mean  most  of  the  stuff 
was  so  obviously  far  from 
reality,  one  almost  had  to 
laugh. 

If  you  think  its  funny  great,  it 
not  don't  spoil  it  for  the  rest  of 

Sincerely.

• 


The  Collegedale  SDA  church 
that  many  of  you  attend  from 
week  to  week  has  voted  to 
undertake  a  Sanctuary  Beauti- 
fication  Project  that  will  mean 
a  transformation  of  the  interi- 
or of  the  church  with  stained 
glass  windows,  wood  panel- 
ing, carpeting,  etc.  The 
project  cost  will  be  about 
$310,000.  Some  might  ques- 
tion the  advisability  of  spend- 
ing that  much  money  on  such 
a  project.  To  those  with  such 
concerns  might  I  offer  the 
following: 

When  we  think  of  language 
we  most  often  think  of  the 
words  that  we  use,  in  our  case 
English.  But  language  is  any 
means  of  communication. 
Language  is  much  more  then 
the  sounds  we  make  with  our 
vocal  chords.  There  is  much 
language  that  speaks  to  us 
that  does  not  necessarily 
vibrate  the  air  next  to  our  ear 
drums.  When  I  am  riding  with 
a  stranger  in  a  car  I  feel  a  need 
to  fill  the  air  with  words.  I  feel 
the  need  to  communicate  by 


using  words.  When  I  ride  in 
the  car  with  a  close  friend  the 
silence  created  by  the  lack  of 
words  is  not  an  embarrass- 
ment for  communication- 
language  is  more  than  words. 
Symbols  communicate  a 
.great  deal  to  us.  Our  lives 
would  be  rather  barren  with- 
out them.  Of  course  spoken 
words  are  also  symbols,  sym- 
bols in  sound,  but  I  am 
thinking  of  the  silent  symbols 
of  a  handshake,  a  hug,  a 
smile,  a  wave,  or  a  rose  given 
for  a  memory.  Symbols 
dominate  our  lives  more  than 
we  realize.  We  stop  at  red 
lights  because  they  symbolize 
something  that  we  have 
agreed  on  together,  so  that  we 
can  live  together  without  run- 
ning into  each  other.  We  pass 
around  pieces  of  green  paper 
that  have  symbolic  value  be- 
cause we  have  agreed  to  have 
them  represent  a  specific 
value.  Those  who  study  body 
language  say  that  they  can  tell 
what  we  are  thinking  about  a 
situation  or  a  person  by  the 


way  we  hold  our  arms,  and 
move  our  bodies. 

Fortunately  for  us  our 
communication  with  each 
other  is  not  simply  the  cold 
evaluation  of  words  that  pass 
between  us  on  sound  waves  or 
paper.  Life  is  colored  with 
many  deep  and  varied  mean- 
ings because  of  symbols  that 
communicate  more  than  words 
are  able  to  communicate.  The 
pictures  of  our  lives  are  paint- 
ed with  many  varied  hues. 
Many,  if  not  most,  of  these 
hues  we  derive  from  silent 
communication  between  us. 

Our  life  with  God  is 
dependent  on  His  communi- 
cation to  us  through  the  words 
written  in  the  Bible,  but 
knowing  our  nature  He  left  us 
more  than  the  language  of 
words.  He  left  us  the  lan- 
guage of  symbols  as  well,  the 
bread,  the  wine,  the  sanctu- 
ary, the  foot  washing,  the 
rainbow,  the  blood,  the  beasts 
of  Daniel,  the  cross,  and  the 
Lamb, all  symbolizing  a  reality 
deeper  than  what 


would  appear  on  the  surface. 
These  symbols  communicate 
a  deeper  reality  in  the  same 
way  that  the  symbol  of  a  rose 
given  for  a  birthday  communi- 
cates in  a  language  that  is 
deeper  than  what  appears  on 
the  surface. 

Our  homes  speak  to  us  and  to 
those  who  visit  us  in  symbols. 
They  tell  others  about  who  we 
are  and  what  our  priorities 
are.  The  home  that  we  have 
prepared  for  worship  of  God 
also  speaks  a  language  to  us. 
The  way  we  maintain  our 
church  home,  the  interest  we 
have  in  its  beauty,  the 
commitment  we  have  to  our 
sanctury  of  worship  speak  of 
the  significance  of  our 
relationship  to  God. 

Everything  about  our  church 
speaks  a  language.  The  doors, 
the  colors  that  greet  us,  the 
height  of  the  ceiling,  the  color 
of  the  carpet,  the  windows, 
the  grounds  around  the 
church,  the  texture  of  the 
walls,  the  placement  of  the 
pulpit,  the  open  Bible  on  the 


European  study  tour  planned 


Southern  College  students 
will  again  have  the  opportu- 
nity to  earn  credit  while 
traveling  in  Europe  during  the 
summer  of  1984.  The  study 
tour  "Adventures  in  Europe 
1984"  will  depart  from  Atlanta 
on  May  23  and  return  on  July 
8.  Highlights  of  the  itinerary 
include  twelve  days  in  En- 
gland, twelve  days  in  Italy, 
and  ten  days  in  West  Ger- 
many. London,  York,  Amster- 


dam, Paris,  Florence,  Rome 
Venice,  Vienna,  and  Munich 
are  among  the  most  notable  of 
the  more  than  forty  cities  and 
towns  in  which  the  tour  will 
stop.  The  tour  will  also  travel 
through  the  spectacular  Al- 
pine country  of  Switzerland. 
The  tour  is  especially  de- 
signed for  college  students, 
but  will  also  welcome  any 
interested  non-students.  A  to- 
tal of  six  semester  hours  of 


credit  may  be  earned  on  the 
tour.  These  credits  may  be  in 
either  history  or  humanities. 
The  charge  for  tuition  is 
included  in  the  basic  price  of 
the  tour. 
According  to  Bill  Wohlers, 
Professor  of  History  and  tour 
director,  the  purpose  of  the 
tour  is  to  enable  students  to 
receive  a  more  vivid  apprecia- 
tion of  western  culture  than  is 
possible  in  a  classroom.  Stu-

ceived  a  finder's  fee  from 
Davenport  in  1977  of  $10,968. 
There  is  also  correspondence 
from  Price  to  Davenport  in- 
dicating that  Price  received  a 
50  percent  rate  of  interest  on 
an  investment  of  $25,000. 

The  committee  voted  that 
Price  not  be  eligible  for  em- 
ployment by  any  unit  of  the 
Seventh-day  Adventist 

Church. 

Fred  Minner,  assistant  secre- 
tary and  treasurer  of  the 
Georgia  Conference  Associa- 
tion from  December  1975  to 
the  present,  was  cleared  of 
any  personal  involvement  with 
Davenport.  But  because  he 
did  not  fully  execute  his 
fiduciary  responsibility,  it  was 
requested  that  the  conference 
administration  arrange  for  a 
change  in  his  service  to  the 


church  and  bring  in  a  new 
association  treasurer. 

E.  E.  Cumbo,  who  served  on 
the  Georgia  Conference  As- 
sociation Board  and  the  Geor- 
gia-Cumberland Conference 
Executive  Committee,  ap- 
parently invested  personal 
funds  with  Davenport  during 
his  term  of  service  in  the 
Georgia-Cumberland  Con- 
ference. It  was  voted  that  any 
information  concerning  the  in- 
volvement of  Elder  Cumbo  be 
passed  on  to  the  General  Con- 
ference Davenport  Study 
Commission. 

In  the  investigation  of  other 
church  officials,  the  Con- 
ference Executive  Committee 
and  Association  Board  voted 
no  disciplinary  action  against 

Richard  Center,  Hoyt  Hender- 
shot  and  Don  Aalborg.

dents  will  be  able  to  observe 
firsthand  those  aspects  of 
European  life  which  in  this 
country  are  available  only  in 
books.  In  addition  students 
will  become  aquainted  with 
the  people  of  Europe  by 
traveling  with  them  on  the 
train.  Each  tour  member  will 
have  his  own  Eurailpass  which 
will  allow  unlimited  rail  travel 
throughout  the  continent 
during  the  period  of  the  tour. 
This  is  a  unique  aspect  of  the 


table,  the  flowers, 
the  printing  style  and  color  of 
the  bulletin  all  speak  a  lan- 
guage to  us  about  our  love  for 
and  relationship  with  God. 

When  a  child  is  learning  to 
speak  he  has  very  limited 
vocabulary.  This  shortage  of 
symbols  limits  his  understand- 
ing of  life  and  his  ability  to 
experience  all  that  life  has  to 
offer.  When  a  church  chooses 
to  limit  its  vocabulary  of 
worship  meanings,  it  limits  its 
experience  of  worship.  Our 
church  has  chosen  to  expand 
its  vocabulary  of  worship 
through  a  new  organ  and  the 
Sanctuary  Beautifi cation  Pro- 
ject. This  expanding  language 
of  worship  is  for  the  purpose 
of  deepening  our  experience 
of  God  and  expressing  our 
adoration  and  praise  to  Him. 
As  a  church  family  let  us 
always  reach  to  experience  our 
Lord  in  ever  deepening  ways. 
Let  us  use  and  develop  our 
language  so  as  to  express  even 
more  gloriously  our  love  for 
our  creator.

of  the  most  exciting  cam-

winter  trade  winds  blew,  only 
a  handful  of  teams  made 
major  acquisitions,  and  it  ap- 
pears that  the  big  difference 
between  the  contenders  and

bullpen. 

Six  American  League  teams

season  with  Cincinnati.  The 
remaining  three  skippers  - 
Mike  Ferraro  (Cleveland), 
Steve  Boros  (Oakland),  and 
Doug  Rader  (Texas)  have  only 
limited  managing  experience, 
and  will  attempt  to  turn  their

Three  National  League  clubs 
introduce  new  managers  -  Bill 
Virdon  joins  the  talented  Mon-

Yesterday,  I  had  a  very  rare 
opportunity  to  interview  one  of 
the  Russian  tour  guides  who 
will  accompany  the  S.C. 
Orchestra  this  summer.  He 
seemed  to  be  a  nice  guy,  and 
quite  open.  His  name  was 
Count  I.M.  Veryoff. 

Southern  Cynic:  Glad  you 
could  be  here  with  us.  Count. 

Count  Veryoff:  1  am  glad  to 
resent  the  USSR  to  you.  Our 
former  leader,  Leonid  Brezh- 
nev, sends  his  warmest  in- 
fections. In  fact,  just  before  he 
passed  away  to  that  Great 
Collective  Farm  in  the  Sky,  he 
says  to  me,  "I  with  I  could 
make  it  warmer  for  those 
pipple." 


Cynic:  I'm  sure.  How  are 
things  in  Russia? 

Count:  I  would  say  our  most 
depressing  problem  today  is 
the  high  cost  of  leaving.  We 
are  very  compressed  about  it. 
Am  1  undressing  myself  al- 
right? 


Cynic:  Just  fine.  Please  t 

Count:  Of  coarse.  As  I 
saying,  we  have  our  troub 
It  is  too  bad  that  i 
are  so  far  together.  Maybe  we 
can  become  closer  apart.  Care 
for  some  vodka?  It's  caffeine- 
Cynic:  No  thanks.  How  did 
you  fare  under  Stalin? 

Count:  Ah,  he  was  a  good 
(cough!)  man.  It  was  Stalin 
who  freed  me  from  my  chain. 
Not  only  my  chain,  but  the 
watch  that  was  on  it. 


Count:  No,  I  have  no  tanks, 
but  you  should  see  how  many 
*  Red  Army  has! 


tanks  ( 


Cynic:  I  haven', .  _ 
they  have  in  Afgha 

Count:  Ah,  comrade,  you 
have  allowed  the  bourgeios 
capitalistic  fairy-tale  makers 
trick  you  into  believing  silly 
lies  about  our  true  reason  in 
Afghanistan. 

Cynic:  Really?  So  what  are 
you  doing  there? 

Count:  Well,  10  army  divi- 
sions were  invited  for  a  hook- 
ah-pipe smoker's  convention 
in  Kabul,  and  so... 


Cynic:   Are  you    recovering 
from  his  dictator-ship? 

Count:  What?  Recover? 
Why,  under  him  and  his  interpret 
immoral  rule  we  climbed  the 
ladder  of  progress  wrong  by 
wrong!  He  was  a  great 
CaesarJ  He  seized  all! 


Cynic:  Good  try.  Count. 
Count:    Please!  Do  not  rudely 
interpret  me. 


Cynic:  I'm  sorry,  I  had  no 
idea  you  had  such  thanks  for 


Cynic:  Let's  talk  about  the 
U.S.  What  do  you  like  here? 
Count:  You  pipple  have  good 

TV  shows.  I  like  "WKGB  in 
Cincinnati." 


Cynic:  You  mean  "WKRP." 

Count:  That  too.  You  also 

have     my     favorite     grocery 

Cynic:  Really?  Which  one  is 
that? 
Count:  Red  Food. 


Cynic:  Shall  we  end  on  t 
joke? 

Count:  No  let's  go  on  a  li 
more.  You  haven't  written 
dollars  worth.  Besides, 
might  get  better. 


Cynic:  Alright.  What  do  you 
think  of  our  country 's  current 
relations? 

Count:  You  Amerikanskis  are 
always  telling  lies  about  us.  It 
has  been  proved  that  half  of 
them  aren't  true.  We  pipple  in 
Russia  have  more  brains  per 
square  head  than  any  other

"Fiddler"  a   success 


The  famous  Broadway 
musical  Fiddler  on  the  Roof 
was  presented  by  the  South- 
em  College  Division  of  Music 
this  past  Sunday  afternoon 
and  Sunday  and  Monday 
evenings  in  the  Collegedale 
Academy  Auditorium.  Includ- 
ing such  well-known  songs  as 
"Matchmaker,  Matchmaker, 
Make  Me  a  Match,"  "If  I 
were  a  Rich  Man,"  and  "Sun- 
rise, Sunset,"  the  musical  was 
played  before  a  full  house 
each  performance  and 
received  a  standing  ovation 
each  time. 

Set  in  the  little  Jewish  village 
of  Anatevka,  Russia,  on  the 
eve  of  the  Russian  Revolution- 


ary period.  Fiddler  on  the  Roof 
explores  the  facet  of  tradition 
and  the  conflict  that  can  arise 
in  trying  to  adhere  to  it  at  all 
times.  So  the  main  character, 
Terye's  (played  by  Dr.  Don 
Runyan,  who  was  also  the 
director),  explains  in  the  open- 
ing scene,  "Here  in  Anatevka 
we  have  a  tradition  for  every- 
thing-how  to  eat,  how  to 
sleep,  how  to  wear  clothes  .  .  . 
because  it's  a  tradition  every- 
one knows  who  he  is  and  what 
God  expects  him  to  do."  The 
play's  conflict  arises  when 
each  of  Terye's  three  older 
daughters  (played  by  Mary 
Gilbert,  Shari  Conner,  and 
Wendy    Mathiesen)    decides 


not  to  use  the  village  match- 
maker (Denise  Read)  in  find- 
ing themselves  a  husband,  but 
to  marry  who  they  want  and 
love.  This  is  a  new  idea  that 
breaks  tradition  and  brings 
uproar  to  the  village.  As 
senior  physics  major  Kevin 
Shaw  expressed  it,  "The  play 
is  a  great  way  to  bring  to  our 
minds  the  difference  between 
what's  right  and  what's 
tradition." 

Due  to  the  success  and 
popularity  of  the  play,  evident 
by  such  remarks  as  "It  was 
fantastic!",  plans  are  being 
made  for  its  performance 
again  on  the  Saturday  night  of 
graduation  weekend.

When  academy  age  kids  leave 
the  church,  it's  not  usually 
the  church.  It's  usually  be- 
cause it's  easier  to  float  along 
and  not  make  a  commitment. 
In  college  where  there  are  so 
many  kids,  it  is  more  difficult 
to  take  a  stand  and  therefore 
you  just  let  religion  slide.

Perspectives 


In  one  week,  the  1982-83  school  year  will  be  history.  Most  of 
the  students  on  this  campus  will  be  gone  except  for  the 
seniors  who  will  eagerly  be  anticipating  their  graduation 
ceremonies.  Soon,  even  graduation  will  be  a  memory- 
brought  back  to  life  only  by  the  diploma  on  the  wall  or  a 
snapshot  in  a  photo  album. 

Time  has  a  way  of  dimming  our  eyes.  Ten  years  from  now, 
few  of  us  will  remember  the  final  struggle  during  test  week. 
We  will  forget  the  unending  pressures,  the  sleeplessness 
nights,  the  mounting  tensions.  Yet  right  now,  these  conflicts 
in  our  lives  seems  to  consume  every  ounce  of  energy  we 
possess  and  every  waking  though  of  every  day.  That  test 
which  threatens  to  sink  us.  the  lost  girlfriend  or  boyfriend  we 
"can't  live  without",  the  dean  that  we  can't  stand-all  loom 
large  in  our  limited  vision  seem  to  overwhelm  us. 

Yet  what  seems  insurmountable  today  may,  on  the  morrow, 
be  a  harmless  anthill.  The  one  skill  that  may  be  priceless  is 
the  ability  to  step  back  from  the  whirl  of  activities,  pressures, 
and  tensions  and  get  a  perspective  on  our  situation.  When  we 
learn  this,  we  are  able  to  live  a  more  stable  life  in  the  proper 
prespective.

Dear  Editor: 

I  was  so  completely  over- 
whelmed yesterday  by  the 
honor  bestowed  upon  me 
when  the  Southern  Memories 
staff  co-dedicated  the  1983 
annual  to  me  that  I  was 
temporarily  lacking  adequate 
words.  To  be  singled  out  from 
among  all  the  wonderful  and 
gifted  faculty  members  and 
staff  on  this  campus  is  a 
distinct  (but  humbling)  honor, 
but  to  be  honored  simultane- 
ously with  the  president  of  this 
college  is  a  double  highlight. 
One  that  I  shall  probably 
never  experience  again. 


It  goes  without  saying,  that 
life  at  Southern  College  in  all 
its  aspects  (academic,  social, 
cultural,  and  all)  has  been 
greatly  molded  by  Dr. 
Knittel' s  leadership  during 
the  last  16  years.  His  enthusi- 
asm, zest  for  life,  organiza- 
tional abilities,  challenging 
chapel  and  vesper  talks,  and 
much  more  (including  his 
extreme  interest  and  caring 
attitude  for  teachers  and  stu- 
dents alike)  have  all  played 
their  roles  in  making  Southern 
College  what  it  is  today. 

I  simply  want  to  go  on  record 
as    saying    that    with     your 


leadership.  Dr.  Knittel,  these 
have  been  the  best  years  of  my 
life  and  surely  for  the  lives  of 
everyone  who  has  fallen  under 
your  sphere  of  influence  as 
well.  Thank  you  for  sharing 
your  life  with  us. 

It  is  my  hope  that  your 
"southern  memories"  will  be 
as  pleasant  of  us  as  our 
memories  will  be  of  you  when 
you  leave. 

May  God  bless  you  in  your 
future  ventures  and  adven- 
tures. 


Dear  Editors, 

It  looks  like  a  battle  of  words 
between  CUC  and  SC  might 
be  forthcoming  if  it  weren't  for 
the  end  of  this  school  year 
with  its  last-minute,  frantic 
cramming  looming  directly 
ahead.  You  must  be  gratified, 
at  least,  that  your  editorial  on 
CUC  made  it  to  Takoma  Park 
and  was  read  and  responded 
to  by  someone  from  CUC.  I 
think,  as  is  the  case  in  many 
instances  that  this  whole  issue 
of  schools  is  one  in  which 
opinions  are  based  upon  facts 
colored  with  the  past  exper- 
iences are  resulting  percep- 
tions of  individuals.  For 
example:  to  me,  it  seems  that 
CUC  is  located  near  a  high 
crime  area-SIigo  Creek.  I  was 
told  by  my  parents  and  others, 
when  I  attended  CUC,  not  to 
hike  along  the  creek  area  for 
safety  reasons-especially  at 
night.  To  a  resident  of  the 
Overtown  section  of  Miami 
during     the     riots,     though. 


Takoma  Park  would  seem 
quite  tame  by  comparison.  I 
agree  with  the  statement 
made  in  Maureen's  last 
editorial  that  finding  out  what 
other  schools  are  really  like 
through  student  intereaction 
would  be  beneficial  and  would 
break  down  many  prejudices.  1 
wonder  if  the  author  of  the 
letter  from  CUC  has  visited  SC 
personally? ! 

Initially,  this  letter  was  not 
intended  to  talk  about  the 
SC/CUC  contest  of  words,  but 
to  express  my  great  appre- 
ciation to  those  responsible  for 


making  SC  such  a  beautiful 
place  to  learn  (and  work!).  The 
grounds  are  so  attractive- 
especially  in  the  spring.  To 
those  of  you  who  have  worked 
hard  re-landscaping  the  bank 
in  front  of  Lynnwood  Hall- 
bravo!  I  am  thankful  to  have 
attended  a  college  such  as 
Southern  that  places  priority 
on  natural  loveliness  and  set- 
ting as  well  as  intellectual 
pursuits. 

Sincerely. 
Sidney  Whiting 


Dear  Editor, 

When  I  look  back  on  my  past, 
I  can't  help  praising  and 
thanking  God.  He  has  enabled 
me  to  be  a  Christian  in  my 
infidel  family  and  called  me  to 
follow  and  serve  Him  and  His 
people.  He  wonderfully  pre- 
served and  kept  me  during  my 
fifteen  years  in  the  Chinese 
prison  and  hard  labor  camp  for 


preaching  the  gospel;  Go 
amazingly  led  me  from  On"* 
into  this  new  continent  jus 
my  birthday!  As  1  recall  that 
how  He  has  guided  m 
through  college  here.  w 
heart  is  pretty  warm.  ^ 

We  came  here  in  July-  ^

pockets.  I  had  been  out  of 
school  for  23  years.  How  could 
]  cope  with  the  new  situation 
in  this  foreign  land?  I  must 
testify  that  God  really  has 
supplied  all  my  physical,  men- 
tal, spiritual  and  financial 
needs. 

Many  happy  memories  come 
back  to  my  mind.  For  in- 
stance, the  day  after  we 
arrived  on  this  campus,  Dr. 
Knittel  received  me  in  his 
office.  In  the  midst  of 
pressing  affairs,  he  helped  me 
find  a  job  at  the  Collegedale 
Nursery.  That  afternoon  I 
even  was   introduced   to   the 


College  board  meeting.    * 

Dr.  Gulley  met  us  and  just 
after  he  learned  that  we  came 
from  China,  he  invited  us  to 
his  home  and  had  supper  with 
his  family  for  the  next  even- 
ing. Dr.  Bennett  and  Elder 
Holbrook  gave  me  good 
counsel  and  helped  me  to 
arrange  my  study  program 
properly.  My  English  teachers 
expressed  their  patience  and 
understanding  for  my  in- 
adequacy in  the  learning  pro- 
cess. The  list  can  be  extended 
to  a  long  line.  Besides  the 
caring  of  our  faculty  members, 
many  of  my  schoolmates,  un- 


known friends  often  gave  me 
or  my  wife  and  our  little  child, 
Wesley,  a  helping  hand,  an 
encouraging  smile,  or  some 
nice  words.  All  these  make  us 
feel  security  and  warmness. 
We  really  appreciate  our 
Christian  college  and  South- 
ern hospitality  here. 

In  my  past  it  was  not  always 
plain  sailing.  Once  I  felt  heavy 
pressure  and  became  tired 
physically  as  well  as  mentally. 
Since  I  took  over  20  hours  of 
work  per  week  and  16  hours  of 
classes,  this  load  seemed  to 
crush  me  down.  My  poor 
English     especially     embar- 


rassed me.  Then  I  wrestled  in 
my  mind-should  I  quit  my  job 
or  slow  down  my  pace  in  the 
school?  As  I  went  up  the  hill 
and  knelt  down  every  morn- 
ing, I  committed  myself  and 
my  burden  to  God's  almighty 

I  felt  released  and  found  rest, 
strength,  and  the  light  from 
Him  and  His  word.  Thank 
God,  in  these  two  years  and 
eight  months,  I  finished  100 
credits  with  a  3.2  G.P.A.  Also 
many  of  you  have  wondered 
how  God  miraculously  deliver- 
ed our  lives  from  a  critical  car 
accident  last  April.  God's  love 


and  mercy  is  just  like  glori- 
ous clouds  surrounding  my 
past.  Now  I  will  leave  here 
soon  and  will  enter  the  mini- 
stry work  once  again.  I 
dedicate  my  life  and  my  family 
to  our  dear  Savior  Jesus.  Also 
my  prayer  will  always  be  with 
friendly  teachers  and  school- 
mates. The  lessons  from  class 
may  be  forgotten  sooner  or 
later  in  my  mind,  but  I  will 
never  forget  this  beautiful 
campus  and  its  loving  people. 

Sincerely, 
Robert  Wong 


Dear  Editor, 

Red  Neckerson  here  and  jist 
ask  yerself  what  it  is  I  want 
now!  Now  I  ain't  one  to 
complain,  but  since  this  is  the 
last  paper  of  the  school  year,  I 
figured  I  could  jist  make  a  few 
commentations  on  a  few 
things  at  SC  without  every 
SDA  and  his  brother  from  here 
to  Californee  a  havin'  a  dyin' 
duck  fit  and  a  writin'  some 
crazy  letter  a  rebukin'  me. 

To  start  off  with,  what  is  it 
with  ye  so-called  "Snack  Bar" 
anyway?  I  go  there  a  starvin' 
on  a  Saturdee  night  about 
1 1 :00  o'clock  and  jist  ask 
yerself  what  happended! 
There  was  a  sign  that  said, 
"No        sandwhiches        after 


11:00!  Gimme  a  break!  That's 
like  Pizza  Hut  sayin,  "No 
pizza  after  10:00--we  don't 
feel  like  makin'  'em.  Besides, 
we  wanna  go  home ! ' '  Jist 
bums  me  up!  Then  I  go  there 
another  time  and  there's  an- 
other sign  that  says,  "Closed 
due  to  illness,  sincerely 
sorry. ' '  They  don 't  need  to  say 
"sorry"--I  know  that!  And  if 
ye  ask  me,  I  don't  think  the  so 
called  "illness"  was  any  of  the 
workers  either! 

BUT,  I'm  an  easy  goin,  easy 
to  get  along  with  kinda  guy.  I 
don't  let  things  get  the  best  of 
me.  I  jist  nosey  on  down  to  ye 
so-called  "CK"  for  some 
grub.  I  thought  I'd  get  a  small 
pizza  with  mushrooms,  black 


olives,  and  green  peppers.  Jist 
ask  yerself  what  happend!  I 
get  in  there  and  there's  a  sign 
that  says,  "No  mushrooms, 
black  olives,  and  green  pep- 
pers." Jist  my  luck!  So  I  order 
a  super  salad.  The  waitress 
points  at  the  sign:  "No  mush- 
rooms, black  olives,  green 
peppers,  and  lettuce."  I  can't 
believe  it!  I  asked  hows  come 
and  she  said  the  workers  had 
to  clean  up.  This  is  very  true! 
So  I  jist  ordered  a  shake.  The 
waitress  points  at  the  sign: 
"No  mushrooms,  black  olives, 
green  peppers,  lettuce,  the 
grill  is  closed,  and  no  icecream 
after  7:00!"  By  this  time  my 
scibbies  are  in  a  wod  and  I 
yell,     "Well    what    do    you 


"Sombrero".  Mexican  food 
upsets  my  matabolism.  Boy  I 
tell  you!  Jist  ask  yerself  what 
kind  of  arrangement  is  it 
where  ye  fast  food  establish- 
ments run  outa  food  every 
time  ye  turn  around  without 
ever  doin  anything  about  it, 
and  then  close  up  shop  an 
hour  or  two  before  the  doors 
are  locked.  Seems  to  me  if  the 
sign  in  the  winder  says 
"OPEN"  the  grill  should  be 
••OPEN'1  and  the  icecream 
machine  should  be  "OPEN", 
not  to  mention  having  some 
food  to  cook  on  the  grill!  And 
if  they  ain't,  that's  misrepre- 
sentation! Yes  Sir,  buddy!  Jist 
ask  Steve  Spears  if  it  ain't. 


Students      recognized     at      chapel 


Awards  chapel  began 
Tuesday,  with  an  introduction 
by  Dr.  Cyril  Futcher,  Aca- 
demic Dean.  He  explained 
that  each  faculty  member  was 
restricted  to  a  time  length  and 
that  chapel  should  not  be  too 
long  and  boring. 
The  awards  began  with  Miss 
Frances  Andrews  of  the  Com- 
munications Department,  who 
gave  four  $50.00  scholarships 
to  Jon  Larrabee,  Stephen 
Morris,  Ken  Rozell,  and  Patti 
Stone.  Andrews  then  gave  two 
Senior  of  the  Year  awards  to 
Todd  Parrish  and  Frank 
Roman. 

Clyde  Garey  presented 
trophies  to  Frank  Roman,  for 
on-stage  excellence,  and  to 
•JR.  Reed,  for  back-stage 
excellence. 

Dr.  Floyd  Greenleaf,  from 
the  History  Department,

It  was  the  fall  of  the  year  in 
Fenton  Forest.  Now  fall  was 
the  end  of  the  year  for  Fenton 
Forest.  The  Scamper  Squirrel 
family  had  finished  gathering 
their  nuts  for  the  long  winter 
and  the  Nut  Hut  was  closed. 
Bert  the  Bear  had  a  large  layer 
of  fat  to  carry  him  through  the 
cold  winter  of  hibernation. 
The  Bucky  Beaver  family  had 
cut  down  enough  trees  to 
provide  them  with  a  lot  to 
chew  on  during  the  winter. 
Families  of  birds  that  raveled 
away  from  Fenton  Forest  dur- 
ing the  winter  had  packed  all 
their  belongings  and  closed  up 
their  houses  for  the  winter. 


Curtains  the  cat  had  stored 
enough  lasagna  to  last  the 
winter  and  Chatterer  Chip- 
monk  had  spent  a  busy  fall 
preparing  his  place  for  the 
long  winter's  nap.  "Forest 
Frolics"  put  out  its  last  issue 
telling  about  how  to  survive 
the  coming  winter.  The 
Editor,  Sammy  Skunk,  reflect- 
ed on  the  year  and  the  events 
that  made  the  memories  of 
Fenton  Forest. 

As  closing  social  event  of  the 
year  there  was  the  Berry 
Festival.  All  the  Forest  family 
gathered  before  their  depart- 
ure. At  the  festival  there  was 
a  touch  of  melancholy  in  the 


air  as  each  one  reflected  on 
the  fact  that  the  memories  of 
the  year  were  not  repeatable, 
the  friendships  formed  would 
never  be  exactly  the  same,  the 
experiences  would  never  be 
experienced  again.  (Of  course 
some  of  the  inhabitants  of  the 
forest  were  happy  that  some  of 
the  memories  were  not  repeat- 
able.)  It  was  Bright  Bluebird, 
the  eternal  optimist,  that  tried 
to  break  the  blues  by  saying, 
"Let's  not  be  sad  about 
memories  that  are  passing, 
rather  let's  use  those  memo- 
ries to  look  to  the  future." 
"That  is  too  philosophical," 
retorted  Sammy  Jay.  "I  can 


feel  melancholy  if  I  like,  and  I 
feel  melancholy."  "Quiet", 
said  Peter  Rabbit,  "We  pass 
this  way  but  once  and  that  is 
probably  enough." 

Another  year  would  come 
that  would  bring  changes  to 
Fenton  Forest.  Wise  Old  Owl 
was  moving  to  a  warmer 
climate  and  would  not  be  a 
fixture  in  the  forest  another 
year.  A  rather  large  group  of 
Fenton  Forest  students  were 
deciding  to  leave  Fenton 
Forest .  A  special  ceremony 
was  planned  for  them.  They 
were  given  encouragement  to 
hold  high  the  standard  of  the 
forest  wherever  they  traveled 


and  a  special  garland  0f 
flowers  was  placed  on  their 
heads  as  a  symbol  of  their 
affiliation  with  Fenton  Forest 
Everywhere  they  went  they 
were  to  remember  the 
memories  of  the  forest,  if  not 
wear  the  garland  of  flowers. 
And,  of  course,  memories  are 
all  that  life  is  made  of,  for  it 
there  is  no  memory,  life  has  no 
continuity. 

The  shortening  days  of  Fall 
and  the  scattering  families  left 
a  quiet  over  the  forest.  A  quiet 
that  was  probably  needed. 
The  first  dusting  of  snow 
brough  a  peace  to  the  forest 
that  was  well  deserved.

College  People  -  looking    for  talent 


The  Strawberry  Festival  will 
happen  this  Saturday  evening 
at  8:00  p.m. 

Sure  to  be  a  spectacular 
program,  the  production  will 
use  9  projectors  and  3  screens, 
and  will  be  shown  from  behind 
the  screens,  instead  of  from 
the  middle  of  the  audience. 

Many  hours  of  long  and  hard 
work  have  been  put  into  this 
year's  sound  track  and  slide 

Several  photographers  have 
contributed  slides  this  year, 
and  the  program  will  center 
on   students    and   on-campus 

Ticket  seating  is  another 
change  this  year,  as  well  as 
admission  for  all  non- 
students. 

However,  strawberries  and 
ice-cream  will  still  be  served 
following  the  show. 


The  first  annual  Spring 
Praise  Festival  will  be  held 
this  Friday  night,  April  22,  at 
7:00  p.m.,  on  the  lawn  in  front 
of  Summerour  Hall.  This  in- 
spirational concert  is  spon- 
sored by  the  Campus  Mini- 
stries Department. 

According  to  Judd  Lake, 
director  of  Campus  Ministries, 
this  concert  is  being  held,  "to 
provide  a  Christian  musical 
conclusion  to  this  successful 
school  year." 

Judd  also  added  that  since 
this  would  be  the  only  Friday 
night  vespers  on  campus,  he 
hoped  all  the  students  and 
faculty  would  attend. 

Featured  artists  include  Bill 
Young  and  Dick  Bird,  formerly 
of  the  Heritage  Singers,  Dana 
Reed,  Randy  Aldridge  from 
Harvet  Celebration,  a  brass 
-  quintet,  Lisa  Ohman,  a  string 
group,  and  many  others. 


Come  out  and  enjoy  an 
evening  of  Christian  music 
this  Friday  evening.  Worship 
credit  will  be  given.  In  case 
of  rain,  the  concert  will  be 
held  in  the  Physical  Education 
Center. 

Frances  Andrews  attended  a 
local  workshop  of  the  Inter- 
national Association  of  Busi- 
ness Communicators  at 
McCallie  School  on  April  19. 
Officers  entitled  their  meeting 
"Home  Cooking"  because 
local  public  relations  staff, 
computer  experts,  feature 
writers,  and  printers  gave  the 
talks.  Miss  Andrews,  who  is 
vice-president  for  educational 
relations  in  the  Chattanooga- 
are  IABC,  had  a  part  on  the 
program  dealing  with  com- 
munications opportunities  of- 
fered by  local  colleges. 

The  Division  of  Nursing  is 
sponsoring  a  seminar  on  April 
21  from  7-9  p.m.  in  Ackerman 
Auditorium.  The  topic  will  be 
"Hypertension"  presented  by 
Dr.  Michael  Love.  A  total  of 
0.2  CEU's  may  be  earned  for  a 
fee  of  S3.  This  seminar  is  part 
of  the  Florence  Oliver  Ander- 
son Seminar  Series.  All  in- 
terested individuals  are  in- 
vited to  attend. 


Jerry  Gladson  will  be 
presenting  a  paper  to  the 
Biblical  Research  Institute 
Committee  at  Andrews  Uni- 
versity on  May  5.  The  topic 
will  be  "The  Role  of  the 
Prophet  in  the  Old  Testa- 
ment." This  will  be  part  of  the 
study  the  General  Conference 
is  doing  on  the  Gift  of 
Prophecy  and  will  be  printed 
in  book  form  after  all  the 
papers  are  in. 


Writers,  artists,  and  photo- 
graphers at  Southern  College 
often  lend  their  talent  to  the 
campus  newspaper,  yearbook, 
or  directory,  but  have  seldom 
had  an  opportunity  to  see  their 
work  published  in  national 
periodicals.  College  People 
magazine,  a  monthly  period- 
ical produced  by  Collegiate 
Publications  in  Lincoln, 
Nebraska  is  changing  that. 
College  People,  introduced  in 
the  spring  of  1981  by  the 
publishers  of  the  Collegiate 
Quarterly,  actively  seeks  con- 
tributors from  all  Adventist 
college  campuses.  "College 
People  is  read  by  thousands  of 
college-age  Adventists 

throughout  North  America," 
says  Melody  Hubbard,  editor, 
"and  opportunities  for 
writers,  photographers,  and 
illustrators  are  numberous." 
Hubbard,  a  junior  liberal  arts 
major,  says  students  and  staff 
at  a  number  of  colleges  have 
contributed  to  the  magazine  in 
the  past,  but  suggests  that 
many  fully  qualified  students 
are  simply  not  yet  aware  of  the 
magazine.  "We  want  the  stu- 
dents at  SC  to  know  that 
College  People  is  their  maga- 
zine, not  only  because  it 
addresses  the  issues  of  college 
life  today,  but  because  they 
can  help  insure  its  literary  and 
visual  success  in  the  future." 
Doug  Morgan,  editorial 
director  of  Collegiate  Publi- 
cations, says  contributors  can 
work  with  the  magazine 


number  of  ways.  "Since  each  compilation  of  selected  photos 
issue  concentrates  on  a  partic-  and  text.  Students,  instruc- 
ular  topic,  writers  usually  tors,  and  professional  photo- 
work  on  an  assignment  graphers  have  prepared  past 
basis."  According  to  Morgan,  photo  essays,  but  Hubbard 
past  topics  have  included  love  says  there  is  an  increasing 
and  marriage,  the  occult,  tele-  need  for  student  photo- 
vision,  depression,  money  graphers.  "We  welcome  un- 
management  and  tithing,  pro-  solicited  photography,  be- 
phecy,  and  the  future  of  the  cause  the  photo  essay  makes 
church.  "Though  some  arti-  College  People  distinctive 
cles  we  have  printed  have  from  all  other  Adventist  col- 
been    written    by    professors  lege  periodicals.  In  addition, 


and  professional  peopli 
continue  to  need  illustrations  photograph, 
for  those  articles."  Morgan 
says  cartoons  are  an  especially 
effective  way  to  make  a  state- 
ment on  the  topic  each  month, 
and  he  invites  cartoonists  of 
all  levels  of  skill  to  notify  the 
magazine  of  their  availability. 
Since  College  People  is 
printed  in  full  color,  four  to  six 
pages  are  regularly  desig- 
nated for   a   photo   essay, 


published  work  is  great  for  the 
portfolio." 


A  writer's  kit  with  payment 
rates  and  more  information  for 
writers  and  photographers  can 
be  obtained  from  Collegiate 
Publications,  3800  South  48th, 
Lincoln,  NE  68506.  A  free 
single  copy  of  College  People

The  Talge  Hall  Spring  Golf 
Tournament  was  held  Sunday, 
April  17  at  the  Moccasin  Bend 
Golf  Course.  The  tournament 
although  primarily  for  the 
students,  included  partici- 
pants from  all  around  Chat- 
tanooga area,  Georgia,  and 
Central  Tennessee. 

A  total  of  16  teams  partici- 
pated in  the  4-person  select 
shot  event,  including  1  ladies 
team  from  Collegedale.  The 
winners  of  this  spring's  tourn- 
ament were  the  team  of  Ed 
Knight  and  Dick  Bird  along 
with  former  SMC  Student  Ac- 
counts Director  Bruce 
Stepanske,  and  his  brother 
Richard.  The  winners  finished 
with  a  low  score  of  14  under 
par,  1  shot  better  than  the 
defending  champion  student 
team  of  Mike  McClung,  Barry 
Manzella,  Dave  Botimer,  and 
Kelly  Pettijohn.  The  students 
tied  for  2nd  place  with  an 
alumni  team,  but  were  award- 
ed 2nd  place  due  to  a  tie- 
breaking  procedure  of  a  lower 
score  on  the  hardest  holes  of 
the  golf  course.  In  4th  place 
were  the  Talge  deans  with  a 
score  of  12  under  par,  which 
included  2  eagles  over  the  last 
6  holes,  with  Dean  Ron 
Qualley  sinking  the  eagle 
putts  on  both  holes. 

Individuals  of  the  winning 
team   were   each   awarded 


handsome  plaque  com- 
menorating  their  victory.  A 
most  valuable  player  trophy 
was  given  to  Bruce  Stepanske 
whose  outstanding  putting  on 
the  day  was  considered  by  his 
team  as  the  key  to  victory.  The 
2nd  place  team  was  given  a 
dozen  golf  balls  to  be  split  up 
between  the  players.  As  is  the 
custom  in  the  Talge  tourn- 
aments, the  closest  to  the  pin 
and  longest  drive  contests 
were  held.  Sleeves  of  3  golf 
balls  each  were  given  to  the 
winners  of  these  contests, 
which  are  listed  below.  Con- 
gratulations and  much  appre- 
ciation are  to  given  to  Dean

Baseball  forecast 


by  Die*  Bird 

In  1982,  most  baseball 
writers  and  broadcasters  pick- 
ed the  Montreal  Expos  to 
reign  as  champions  in  the 
National  League  East.  The  St. 
Louis  Cardinals,  who  were 
considered  a  .500  team  at 
best,  emerged  as  National 
League  champions,  and  went 
on  to  win  the  World  Series. 

This  writer  picks  the  Red- 
birds  to  repeat  as  divisional 
champs  in  1983.  but  not 
without  a  battle  from  the 
Expos.  The  remaining  teams- 
Philadelphia,  Pittsburgh,  Chi- 
cago, and  New  York  will  battle 
for  third  place.

by  330  lbs.  of  hexogene,  a 
material  4  times  as  explosive 
as  TNT.  The  Moslem  Holy 
War  took  responsibility  for  the 
blast  as  "part  of  the  Iranian

President  Reagan  that  West 
Germany  would  keep  its  com- 
mittment to  deploy  U.S. 
medium-range  nuclear  mis- 
siles this  year  unless  the  U.S. 
reaches  agreement  with  the 
Soviets.  Kohl  expressed  hope 
that  such  an  agreement  would 
occur  but  insisted  that  "If 
there  is  no  agreement  in 
Geneva,  we  will  do  what  we 
promised  to  do."  In  a  related 
development,  the  Soviets 
threatened  to  deploy  medium- 
range  missiles  within  range  of 
the  U.S.,  possibly  in 
Nicaragua,  if  the  U.S.  missiles 
are  deployed.

the  presents  from  Chicago. 
They  came  in  hands,  so  to

end. Can't  wait  till  summer 

Hey,  Kiddol 

There's  only  one  week  left 
until  school's  out  so  hang  in 
there.  Keep  your  chin  up, 
but  don't  keep  it  too  high. 

By  the  way,  in  case  you  get 
two  notes  alike-it's  because 
they  didn't  print  the  first 
one  last  week. 

Remember,  God  loves  you- 
I  do,  too!

been  but  I'll  try  to  do  better. 
Just  remember,  if  you  kill 
me,  don't  tell  me.  You  know 
I  hate  anticipation!  Ha  ha. 
Take  care  now!

say  hi!  And  to  thank  you  for 
everything. 

I  can't  wait  until  in  the  fall 
when  you  and  I  get  to  room 
together.  Let's  go  ape,  ba- 
nanas, or  whatever  it  is. 

Thank  you  for  sharing  your 
"baboonish"  friendship 
with  me.   I'll   never  forget 

Do  have  a  lovely  summer, 
and  let's  keep  in  touch. 

Baboon  I 

To  my  friends, 

I  wish  I  could  write  to  you 
each  personally,  but  it  will 
make  probably  two  pages  in 
the  Accent.  So  I'm  gonna 
write  a  note  to  all  my 
friends. 

Thank  you  so  much  for 
your  friendship.  Some  of 
you  who  know  sign  lan- 
guage, I  want  to  thank  you 
for  taking  time  to  learn  that. 

My  friends,  I'll  never  for- 
get you,  because  you  made 
my  staying  here  possible.  If 
it  hadn't  been  for  you  I 
don't  think  I'd  ever  stay. 

Have  a  fantastic  summer. 
Suzanne 
ATTENTION  Ms.  Elam! 
Thanks    for    your    very 


Senior  year  and  my  eventual 
graduation.  It  hasn't  gone 
unnoticed.

With  Luv,  Yo 


We'll  be  apart,  now  that's 

Four  months  without  you  is 
like  a  curse, 

But  looking  back,  Oh  no. 
That's  worse. 

When  the  summer  is  over 
that  won't  end  the  fun. 

Cause  we're  going  to  big 
"O"  to  soak  up  some  sun. 
The  past  18  months  has 
really  been  great; 

I  hope  you're  around  when 
I  need  a  1st  mate. 
These  things  I  have  said  are 
all  very  true. 

Yet  my  main  point  is  that  I 
love  you!!!

Thanks  for  being  you.  1  am 
really  glad  to  have  gotten  to 
know  you,  ever  since  the

made  me  a  lot  less  home-

My  Dear  Sunshine  Room- 

These  have  been  a  great 
two  years  here  and  I'll  miss 
ya  lots.  .  .  but  guess  what? 
Snappers  always  pop  out  of 
their  shells  occasionally 
(especially  unexpectantly). 
I'll  see  you  again  next  year. 
Have  a  sunshiny  summer 
vacation.

Dear  25564: 

Thanks  for  being  such  a 
great  roommate.  We  had 
lots  of  fun,  didn't  we? 

Good  luck  on  your  final 
tests  and  have  a  wonderful, 
wonderful  summer. 

Take  care. 

Love,

Alvin, 

It  sure  has  been  an 
experience  working  with 
you  this  year.  You  have 
been  a  superior  S.A.  Presi- 
dent and  I've  enjoyed  work- 
ing closely  with  you.  (So 
close  it  might  make  some 
people  "just  wonder.") 


P.D. 

The  other  night  was  excel- 
lent! Too  bad  you  missed  it, 
but  it  was  your  own  fault  for 
"getting  lost!"  Can't  you 
handle  it? 

Your  babysitter, 
B.S.A.S.B. 
P.S.    There's   always    next 
yearl 


Hi  Frank  Roman. 
Love,

Q.  How  do  you  get  an 
elephant  and  a  girl  in 
Thatcher     to     weigh     the 

A.  Force  feed  the  elephant! 

Thatcher  Hall  is  the  per- 
fect place  to  grow  this  tree- 
Dogwood! 

To  My  Friends: 

Well,  it's  off  to  Oklahoma 
and  Europe.  It  really  hurts 
leaving  many  of  you. 
Thanks  for  your  support  and 
love.  Farewell-well  at  least 
for  four  years,  and  visit  in 
Germany  if  you're  ever 
there. 

Pfc.  Harder 

Dear  Deans  of  Thatcher, 
Ya'll  have  been  really 
great  this  year.  Thanks  for

Ya'll  have  a  great  summer 
and  I'll  see  ya  next  year. 

One  of  your  girls 

Howdy  Snapper! 

How  ya  doin'?  1  just  want- 
ed to  say  that  you've  been  a 
great  roommate  and  friend. 
Thanks  for  all  the  fun  times 
we've  shared. 

I'll  miss  you  next  year,  but 
until  then,  I  hope  you  have  a 
wonderful  summer. 

Love  ya, 
Sunshine 


Dearest  Robbie: 
Thanks  for  all  the  good 
times.  You've  been  a  terrific 
and  wonderful  brother. 
Good  luck  in  your  finals  and

P.S.  (Punk  out  punks.) 

Dearest  60569, 

Sorry  about  this  past  week- 
end. Thank  you  for  trying  to 
understand  and  for  being  as 
sweet  as  you  are.  I  don't 
think  anybody  can  under- 
stand me  any  better  than 
you  do.  I  guess  that  is  one  of 
the  many  reasons  why  I  love 
you  so  much.

Steve  and  Donnette, 

Congratulations  on  your 
engagement.  Ya'll  look  so 
good  together.  Steve,  Don't 
ever  forget  CTA  or  your 
days  as  my  wild  and  crazy 
brother  George. 

Tigger, 
You  are  a  wonderful  wife. 
Thank  you  for  all  of  the  help 
and  support  you  give.  Keep 
a  smile  on  your  face.  I  love 


Dear  Hon  (72328), 
This  year  has  been  a  great 
year  for  the  both  of  us. 
Especially  since  we  were 
able  to  celebrate  our  1st 
Anniversary!"  Of  course 
there  will  be  many,  many 
more!  I  love  you  so  much, 
Sweetheart!  I'll  miss  you 
terribly  this  summer  since 
you'll  be  going  home  to 
BDA,  but  let's  stick  it  out. 
Have  a  great  summer  and  I 
promise  to  write  to  you 
often.  If  you  forget  every- 
thing else,  just  remember 
that  I  love  you  and  will  be 
glad  when  the  end  of  sum- 
mer brings  us  back  together 

Love  always, 
ME  (74660) 


Dearest  Bunchskins, 
Can  you  believe  that  you 
are  almost  a  nurse?!  I  just 
want  to  say  I'm  very  proud 
of  you.  You've  worked  hard 
and  done  well!  I  just  want 
you  to  know  I  love  you  very 
much  and  am  counting  the 
days  when  the  two  of  us  will 
become  one! 

Your  Bubsie 
Mark  #247 

Looks  like  this  year  is

Dear  Celeste 

You've  been  the  greatest 
roommate  a  person  could 
have.  You  made  the  sum- 
mers around  here  bearable 
and  even  exciting.  You 
really  ought  to  think  about 
moving  to  Ohio.  .  . 

Your  roomie,

Thanks 

To  all  of  1st  East

Dear  Patty  Cake, 
Sure  have  enjoyed  all  of 
the  times  we've  spent  with 
each  other  this  year.  It  has 
been  a  wild  one.  Thanks  for 
your  love  and  friendship.  I'll 
miss  you  when  we  part  for 
the  summer.  But  I'll  look 
forward  to  being  with  you 
again  next  school  year.  I 
love  you! ! !

Hi,  Kidd! 

Just  wanted  to  tell  ya  that  I 
am  thinking  of  you. 

There's  only  less  than  two 
weeks  left  until  we  have 
summer  vacation.  So,  keep 
your  chin  up,  but  don't  keep 
it  too  high.

Thanks  Ken!

Dear  52340, 
Thank  you  for  three  of  the 
best  years  of  my  life.  I  never 
dreamed  I  could  find  some- 
one as  wonderful  as  you.  (14 
months  then  on  to  Alaska!) 
I'll  always  be 
yours,

Dear  Mr.  Ott, 
I   want   to   tell   you   and 
others  that  I  am  glad  that 
you  and  your  family  are  my 
friends. 

I  really  enjoy  your  Spanish 
classes  especially  when  you 
tease  us.  Poor  Carol,  she 
really  had  a  time  interpret- 
ing Spanish! 

Mr.  Ott,  I  want  you  to 
know  that  you  are  not  only  a 
special  teacher,  but  a 
special  friend.  You  take 
time  to  listen  to  me. 

You  and  your  family  are 
like  a  family  to  me.  I  really 
enjoy  talking  with  Mrs.  Ott, 
and  writing  to  Vivian.  Even 
though  I  don't  see  Eddie 
much  I  keep  him  in  my 
thoughts. 

I  love  you  all- 
Love  in  Christ

Dear  Princess, 

Be  gentle  with  Arnold  and 
Duke,  they  are  healing. 
With  proper  TLC  you  can 
nurse  Arnold  back  to  good 
health.  He  loves  you  very 
much.  Don't  worry  about 
Duke,  he  will  heal  in  good 
time.  It  is  about  time  for 
them  to  shed  their  skin  and 
you  may  be  surprised  as  to 
what  is  really  on  the  inside. 
Yours  always, 
The  Prince  on  the  Inside 

Dear  65841 
You've  made  this  year  the 
best  one  ever.  I'm  going  to 
miss  you  this  summer,  but 
hopefully  it  will  go  by  fast. 
Thanks  for  making  this  year 
such  a  good  one.  I  love  you.

Parting  is  such  sweet  sorrow. 
I  can't  remember  when  I  wrote 
that,  but  it's  true.  This  week 
has  been  awfully  hectic  for 
me,  and  with  the  weather,  it's 
been  blah.  But  when  I  sat 
down  to  write  this  final 
warmth  and  joy  filled  my 
breast  {I  used  to  have  trouble 
saying  that).  Anyway,  just  a 
word  of  thanks  to  Shaun 
Cassidy,  who's  been  directing 
my  fan  mail,  which  has  been 
getting  mixed  up  with  his;  and 
to  all  you  people  who  tell  me 
my  article's  not  worth  six 
bucks.   I,   of  course,   assume 

Anyway,  here's  part  of  the 
article  I  originally  meant  to 
print  this  week: 

Have  you  ever  gone  to  a 
party,  and  try  to  hold  a 
conversation,  but         get 

nowhere?  You  just  don't  have 
the  right  lines,  but  wish  you 
did?  Try  the  following  one- 
liners  at  your  next  social 
engagement,  and  see  if  you 
don't  stop  the  show. 

"Randy  White  owes  me 
twenty  bucks'* 


"Guess  who  was  at  Misty's 
yesterday?" 

"The  school's  got  a   new 

"I  heard  all  the  guys  on 
B-wing  were  in  by  10  p.m." 
'  'Kamenieski    hates    my 


permit 


"They  had  my 
waiting  for  me." 

"I  got  some  bad  vibes  at  the 
ABC  yesterday." 

"The  CK  stuff  is  great." 
"CUC's    begging    for    a 
McKee  Bakery." 

"Schlisner  owns  "Rings  and 

"The  deans  offered  to  buy 
my  stereo." 

"SMC   doesn't   have   any 
Arabs  because  they  can't  af- 
ford it." 
"Neal  Wilson  asked  me  what 
to  do  about  Davenport" 

"If  Lamar  Alexander  calls, 
tell  him  I'm  not  here." 

Anyway,  It  was  that  sort  of 
thing.  Then  the  year  books 
came  out,  and  I  got  mine. 
Naturally,  I  don't  think  a 
column  is  a  place  to  vent 
personal  anger,  so  1  won't  say

Dear  Barry, 

I  am  sure  that  you  have 
been  so  busy  this  semester 
that  you  forgot  that  you  had 
a  secret  sister.  Well.  I  was 
busy  too,  but  I  didn't  forget 
about  you!  Maybe  you 
should  work  on  that  for  next 
year,  in  case  you  get  an- 
other chance  at  being  a 
secret  brother.  Some  poor 
freshman  might  not  be  as 
understanding  as  I  am! 

Take  it  easy  and  have  a 
great  summer!  See  you  next 

Your  Secret  Sis 
P.S.  If  you  really  want  to 
know  who  I  am,  write  a 
letter!  Maybe  I'll  write 
back!

that  after  four  years  why  can't 
they  spell  a  simple  name  like 
mine  right  or  why  didn't  they 
call  me  when  they  were  taking 
pictures  or  where's  my  name 
in  the  three  organizations  I 
was  in?  No,  no,  that's  not  the 
place  for  it.  But  there  are 
some  strange  things  I  want 
you  all  to  notice. 

Notice  that  two  couples  on 
the  bottom  of  pp.  8  and  9  are 
not  going  together  any  more. 
Yearbooks  always  do  that.  The 
two  people  on  the  top  left  on  p. 
7  are  not  going  together  any 
more  either. 

I  heard  the  poor  Thatcherite 
on  the  bottom  of  p.  89  to  the 
left  is  still  in  that  pose.  She's 
been  waiting  a  long  time  guys. 

I  would  hate  to  meet  the  girl 
who  owns  the  weight  set  on  p. 
130.  She  must  mean  business. 
Why  is  the  girl  on  the  left  so 
surprised?  Maybe  because  the 
photographer  is  a  guy.  Maybe 
she  just  remembered  her  iron 
is  face  down  on  the  floor,  on. 
Is  that  a  double  bed  they're 
on?  Oh  oh. 

Did  you  notice  the  new  flight 
school  on  p.  149,  upper  left? 


DESPERATELY  NEED  a 
ride  to  any  of  the  following 
areas:  Oklahoma  City,  OK., 
Kansas  City,  Wichita,  or 
Topeka,  KS,  Lincoln,  *  or

summer.  I'll  miss  you  very 
much.  Thanks  for  making 
my  year  special. 

With  all  my  love,

bears  say  good-bye. 


Good  luck! 
Isn't  that  a  nice  picture  on  p. 
139.   in  the  middle?  I  think 
second   service  just  let   out. 

I  bet  if  I  were  here  twelve 
years  I  could  learn  the  trick  on 
p.  29,  middle  right. 

Whaddya  know?  I  made  the 
yearbook!  p.  27,  bottom  left. 

The  guy  on  p.  44  top  left  is 
being  served  his  latest  state- 
Why  is  there  two  pictures  of 
the  same  guy  on  p.  132?  What 
did  he  pay  the  photographer? 
Where's  our  haircut  rules  on 
p.  133.  top  left? 
I  heard  the  guy  on  p.  135,  top 
right  was  told  that  SMC  was 
relatively  inexpensive.  The 
girl  on  p.  134,  bottom  left,  was 
told  the  same.  1  agree  with 

The  girl  on  the  bottom  of  p. 
136  is  bringing  in  two  T.V.'s. 
Don't  let  her  fool  you. 

Is  the  guy  on  p.  148  top  right 
playing  keep  away?  Someone 
better  explain  it. 

Those  two  guys  on  the 
bottom  of  p.  159,  far  right  and 
far  left  are  doing  something

different.  Is  the  next  move  to 
have  it  like  the  guy  second 
from  the  left? 

I  think  the  lady  on  p.  168 
bottom  right  is  about  to  call 
the  police.  The  girl  would  have 
to  turn  around-then  maybe 
we'd  agree. 

The  top  picture  on  p.  171 
looks  fine  to  me. 

Ah  yes.  Scheming  to  next 
raid  on  the  top  left  of  p.  177. 
I  like  the  sinister  ertect  on  the 
bottom  far  left  of  p.  181. 

The  girl  on  p.  143  in  the 
middle  left  has  just  been 
served  a  summons  by 
Security-  Her  faithful  friend, 
who  is  wearing  her  I.Q. 
T-shirt,  cheers  her  on. 
Top  left  on  p.  124  proves  how 
much  it  rains  in  Collegedale. 
What's  wrong  with  the 
picture  on  the  bottom  right  of 
p.  122?  That's  right-one  girl's 
wearing  long  pants! 

Wow!!  Isn't  that  some  hunk 
of  a  man  on  the  bottom  far
