ThR  Pixel  Theory 

The  Worth  Of  The  Whole 
Depends  On  The  Parts 


Pixels,  people,  and  the  press  haue  a  lot  in  com- 
mon .  Loosely  defined ,  pixels  are  those  small  dots  in 
computer  screens  that  light  up,  forming  images. 
The  critic  would  say  that  an  individual  pixel  is  really. 
welL -irrelevant.  That  the  total  picture  is  what 
counts.  That  a  single  pixel — or  perhaps  many 
scattered  pixels — could  bum  out  and  not  be  missed. 

But  the  picture  is  only  the  sum  of  the  parts  and 
anything  less  than  complete  is  imperfection.  The 
missing  pixel  may  break  a  line  or  change  the  color 
in  some  way.  Not  everyone  will  miss  it.  But  some 
will. 

Individuals  form  the  mass  we  flippantly  call  the 
student  body.  Like  a  missing  pixel,  often  it's  easy  to 
ignore  someone.  We  don't  like  what  they  say  or 
how  they  say  it. They're  unimportant.  So  the  picture 
fades— just  a  little. 

Thissemester  begins  with  a  clean  slate.  Welcome 
to  Southern  College— the  school  where  you  belong. 
You  might  be  a  senior  (sure  of  yourself  and  ready  for 
another  year)  or  a  freshman  (wondering  if  the  CK 
everyone's  talking  about  is  the  name  c*" 
reading  book;  you  know,  "CK,  CK  run"). 

No  matter  how  low  you  feel  on  the  totem  pole, 
the  pixel  theory  means  you're  important-  To  this 
school,  to  the  student  association,  to  the  Accent, 

Your  opinion  is  valuable.  We  want  this  paper  to 
be  your  forum.  Read  it.  Respond.  Make  it  better. 
Make  us  all  better.  And  remember  the  pixels  when 
you  get  up  in  the  moming.  KLW

hours  of  credit,  plus  free  room  and 
board,  to  students  who  had  not  previ-

When  Connie  Thompson,  sopho-

"Where  did  they  expect  me  to  park?" 
Thompson  asks.  "Brock  Hall?  The

says  Mark  Waldrop,  Student  Associa- 
tion President. 

"I  chose  the  "You  Belong'  motto  as  the 
main  theme."  said  Waldrop.  "because  I 
want  everyone  to  feel  like  they  arc  a  part 
of  the  SA — whether  they  are  freshmen, 
seniors,  or  even  faculty  members." 

With  the  usual  planned  SA  aclivilies, 
everyone  can  get  involved.  Waldrop 
said.  Also,  ihe  SA  will  be  sponsoring 
special  seminars  this  year  on  building 
self-esteem  and  finding  your  place  in 
life. 
The  SA  will  be  different  this  year 
because  there's  a  lot  of  energy  in  and  for 
iheSA,  Waldrop  said.  "Wehaveagreal

everyone  to  participate." 

Some  aclivilies  in  September  include

Judges  also  commended  the  paper  for 
its  factual  reporting,  good  headlines  and 
lively  style.  According  to  Journalism 
professor  and  former  Accent  adviser 
Ron  Smith,  who  attended  the  three-day 
ACP  seminar  at  Memphis  Slate  Univer- 
sity, the  coniest  was  a  learning  experi- 
ence and  proof  of  a  job  well  done. 

"I  was  tired  of  criticism  and  my  de- 
fense was  that  it  (the  news  reported]  was 
factually  based  and  objectively  re- 
ported. It  was  a  vindication  of  sorts," 
Smith  said.  "That's  the  one  thing  I've 
stressed  to  Ihe  siudenls  in  my  class — 
and  to  get  a  mark  of  distinction  in  that 
area  is  meaningful." 

The  Accent  entered  lO 
papers  (dated  from  January  7  lo  March 
24)  in  the  competition.  These  papers 
were  scored  in  five  categories:  ( I )  cov- 
erage and  content,  (2)  writing  and  ed-

and  photography,  and  (5)  an  and  graph-

I  had  just  spotted  someone  I  knew

He  was  friendly,  but  since  it  was  dark.  I

seemed  friendly  enough,  so  I  decided  to

Accent  on  Sports 


The  Big  Kickoff:   Variety  In  Sports 
Begins  The  New  School  Year 


Sports  Beat 


Sport,  fans,  and  colleagues — welcome  back  to 
Ihe  1988-89  school  year.  It  is  my  privilege  this 
year  lo  be  your  "Accent  on  Sports"  editor  and  I  am 
ecstatic  to  be  a  part  of  our  school  paper.  Allow  me 
to  commend  Mike  Fulbright  for  an  entertaining 
and  informalive  job  as  last  semester's  editor. 
Here's  what's  ahead  this  year. 

On  the  national  front,  the  all  American  Pastime 
is  in  full  swing  as  the  Major  League  pennant  races 
heat  up.  Locally,  irrepressible  Sieve  Jaecks  re- 
fuses lo  let  the  limelightleave  Collegedale.  Jaecks 
has  already  organized  the  Southern  College  Soft- 
ball League.  There  have  been  a  large  number  of 
sign-ups  so  far,  indicating  a  good  crop  of  rookies 
ready  to  challenge  the  returning  veterans.  Season 


opener  was  August  28.  Hope  you  made  il. 

One  imponant  baseball  change.  The  all-night 
Softball  game  is  going  lo  be  rescheduled  from  the 
date  listed  on  the  calendar.  Be  watching  for 
details.  You  won'i  want  to  miss  the  sporting 
highlight  of  the  semester. 

Sofiballisjustlhe  beginning  of  an  exciting  intra- 
mural season.  After  the  World  Series  All-Night 
Softball,  the  spotlight  swings  lo  Hawaiian  Foot- 
ball. Volleyball  follows,  promising  to  keep  fans 
on  Iheir  feet  until  semester  break.  Then  waich  for 
basketball — by  far  the  favorite  sport  on  campus. 
The  Rees  Series  is  the  climactic  equivalent  of  all- 
night  Softball,  After  spring  break,  our  Canadian 
colleagues  can  strut  their  stuff  to  the  tune  of  floor 
hockey.  Ball  replaces  puck  as  soccer  ends  the 
intramural  season. 

So  whatdoyou  do  if  learn  sports  isn'tyour  forte? 
You  might  try  checking  out  the  variety  of  recrea- 
tional tournaments  and  events  sponsored  by  the 
P.E.  Department  during  the  year.  Tennis,  golf. 


racqueiball.  three-man  volleyball,  triathlon,  and  a 
swim  meet  are  held  each  year.  Check  with  the  P.E. 
office  and  read  the  Accent  for  more  details. 

I  urge  everybody  to  sign  up,  participate  in  inlra- 
murals  and  take  full  advantage  of  the  sport  facili- 
ties on  campus.  Gel  loknow  the  faculty  members 
outside  the  classroom.  Ben  McArthur,  Bill 
Wohlers.RonQualley,HelmutOll.GordonBielz, 
David  Smith,  Dean  Kinsey,  Stan  Hobbs.  Don  and 
June  Mathis  are  a  few  that  might  surprise  you  out 
on  the  courts  and  playing  fields,..then  again,  you 
might  discover  why  they  never  became  profes- 
sional athletes! 


[f  you  have  comments  or  suggestions  about  this 
year's  spons  section,  feel  free  lo  talk  lo  me  or  leave 
a  message  at  Talge  (box  30 1 ).  All  complaints  are 
lo  be  verbalized  to  Kyle  Tomer  in  person. 

It's  a  wrap  on  sports  this  week.  Remember  ad- 
mission to  all  intramural  games  is  free.  What  a 
bargain.  Bring  a  roommate,  date,  or  the  whole 
family — and  don't  forget  the  dog.

Weekend  calls  for 
student  commitment 


Family,  Job.  Political  party.  Education.  Church,  Boyfriend 
or  girlfriend.  Student  leaderehip  position.  Spouse- 
Commitments.  They  come  in  all  manner  of  shapes  and  sizes, 
Some  require  more  responsibility  and  demand  more  time  and 
energy  than  others.  But  there  is  one  thing  all  commitments 
have  in  common.  The  dictionary  calls  it  being  bound  emotion- 
ally or  intellectually  to  some  course  of  action. 

We  all  have  commitments,  no  matter  how  blithe  and  carefree 
we  consider  ourselves.  It's  simply  a  fact  of  life  that 
anywhere  you  go  there  are  countless  worthy  causes 
competing  for  your  time  and  attention.  Many  of  the 
adjustments  required  in  college  and  adult  life  revolve 
around  which  causes  you  want  to  t>e  committed  lo. 

It's  a  tradition  in  our  society  to  set  aside  January  1 — 
New  Year's  Day^ — as  a  sort  of  "National  Commitment 
Day."  Each  new  year,  thousands  upon  thousands  of 
people  reflect  on  the  previous  year  and  make  a  list  of 
resolutions  for  the  new  one.  They  are  filled  with  good 
intentions  and  determination;  however,  many  people 
sadly  look  at  that  list  one  month,  week,  or  even  a  couple 
of  days  later  only  to  find  they  weren't  as  committed  as 
they'd  hoped  lo  be. 

This  weekend  has  been  set  aside  as  a  special  Commitment 
Weekend,  It  may  not  be  the  beginning  of  the  calendar  year, 
but  it  is  the  beginning  of  the  school  year.  Take  time  to  really 
search  your  heart  and  decide  what  or  who  you'd  like  to  become 
committed  lo,  Refiecl  on  the  person  you've  grown  to  be  over 
the  summer  and  note  especially  how  God  has  led  in  your  life. 
Make  the  most  of  this  weekend  by  re-committing  your  life  to 
Christ,  Then  plan  ways  to  deepen  your  friendship  with  Him. 
Make  time  for  Him  just  as  you  would  for  any  other  really  close 
friend  and  watch  this  year  be  the  best  year  you've  ever 
experienced. 

The  student  association  has  proclaimed  the  "You  Belong" 
theme  for  this  year  and  CARE  has  taken  it  one  step  further  by 
adopting  the  slogan, " Vou  Belong  to  Jesus. "  Think  about  that 
for  a  moment  Don't  allow  Jesus  lo  be  put  on  your  list  of

We  weren't  going  to  reach

wasn't  looking  at  me  and  my

Dejectedly,  I  turned  toward 
my  sister  to  tell  her  I  didn't  gel

pedals.  Now,  let's  see...how 
could  I  meet  my  objective  most 
efficiently?  Delegation.  I'd  hide 
my  objective  but  share  the  work. 
My  sisters  would  help  with  the 
chores. 

1  rolled  up  the  driveway  then  ran 
up  the  steps  two  al  a  time.  Hurling 


open  the  door,  1  sized  up  the  situ- 
ation. My  two  younger  sisters 
were  lounging  around  on  the  sofa. 
I  rattled  off  orders  like  a  drill 
sergeant.  Neither  of  my  sisters 
flinched.  Maybe  they  were  used 
to  this  ireaiment.  "Who  died  and 
left  you  boss,  Mr.  High  and 
Mighty?" 

"Come  on,"  I  said.  "You  know 
mom  wants  all  these  chores  done 
before  the  Monday  Night  Foot- 
ball..." Whoops!  I  blew  it.  Now 
my  sisters  knew  my  real  motive. 
Might  as  well  kiss  their  help 
good-bye. 

There's  a  parallel  between  my 
Monday  Night  Football  experi- 
ence and  our  spiritual  lives.  Many 
times  in  our  spiritual  journey  we 
develop  strategies  and  even  make 
all  the  necessary  arrangements 


for  everything  to  fall  into  place  so 
we  can  reach  our  own  objectives. 
When  we  talk  with  God,  we 
share  all  the  wonderful  things 
happening  (that  we  planned)  all 
the  while  neglecting  to  find  what 
God's  objective  for  our  lives. 

As  you  start  this  year  at  South- 
em,  remember  to  follow  the  ad- 


vice Jesus  gave  in  Matthew  7:7- 
12.  Ask  God  about  His  objectives 
for  your  life.  Seek  His  answer 
through  Bible  reading  and  prayer. 
Knock  on  His  door  every  morning 
when  you  first  get  up.  Then,  as 
you  follow  His  direction,  you  will 
be  living  out  the  best  plan  for  your 
life— His  plan.  El

COMMITIVIENT 
WEEKEND

ON     SPORTS 


...Where  the  action  is. 


Why  success 

comes  knocking 

Ask  successful  people  what 
makes  them  that  way  and 
here's  what  they'll  more  than 
likely  answer; 

1.  I  have  clear  set  goals. 
Anyone  who  knows  you  well 
ought  to  be  able  lo  list  your 
priorities,  based  not  so  much 
on  what  you  say,  but  how  you 

2.  I  understand  my  role  in 
things.  You  should  know 
what  your  "job"  in  any  given 
situation  is  and  take  the  neces- 
sary actions  to  make  certain  it 
gets  done. 

3. 1  work  hard.  Ask  anybody, 
it's  the  first  rule  of  success. 
4.  I  know  how  to  delegate. 
Nobody  can  do  everything  or 
be  everywhere  at  once.  You 
should  know  that  and  let  other 
competent  people  be  there 
when  you  can't. 
5. 1  have  learned  to  compro- 
mise. For  instance.  President 
Ronald  Reagan  attributes 
much  of  his  success  as  a  poli- 
tician to  his  ability  to  compro- 
mise. "I've  never  understood 
people  who  want  me  to  hang 
in  there  for  100  percent  or 
nothing."  he  says.  "Why  not 
take  70  or  80  percent,  and  then 
come  back  another  day  for  tlie 
other  20  or  30  percent?" 


The  week  in  sports :  Southern  College  Softball  league 


Sports  Beat 


The  cream  has  apparently  risen  lo  the  top  as 
week  number  one  of  men's  slow  pitch  concluded 
last  Wednesday  nighl.  With  one-lhird  of  the 
season  elapsed,  we  still  have  three  teams  with 
perfect  records:  Machado-Jas  with  an  impressive 
3-0,  Russell-Center  and  Berumen-Mycrs  share 
identical  and  rather  dubious  0-3's.  The  bad  news 
for  Russell  and  Berumcn  is  they  are  not  scheduled 
to  play  each  other  and  it  may  be  quite  possible  for 
both  10  retain  their  winless  status.  The  good  news 
for  Ihem  and  all  Baltimore  Orioles  fans  is  that 
(here  are  only  eight  games  per  team  scheduled. 

Wilhlhenumberofteamsparlicipaiing  this  year, 
ii  would  be  impractical  for  me  lo  fairly  cover  and 
report  the  20-plus  games  scheduled  each  week.  So 
in  an  attempt  to  touch  all  the  bases  with  exposure 
to  all  ihe  teams,  I  plan  lo  nin  a  weekly  team  by  team 
summary.  Women's  slow  pitch  and  men's  fast 
pitch  coverage  begins  next  week. 

This  week  you  get  a  free  special-bonus:  aslrol- 
ogically  accurate  predictions.  Before  any  of  you 
gel  the  wrong  impression  about  "astrologically 
accurate" — 1  am  not  a  Republican  (or  Democrat),

our 

local  captain  witti 

a  complaint 

Machado-Jas:  3-0  last  week.  Looking  over  the 
rosierand  stal  sheets  for  Machado,  one  word  came 
to  mind — destiny.  Hello  neighbors.  Can  you  say 
destiny?  And  the  destiny  I'm  referring  to  should 
not  be  confused  with  Alan  Martin's  Destiny, 
because  this  team  is  putting  a  hurt  on  the  opposi- 
tion. 1  am  going  lo  jinx  Machado  by  predicting  an 
undefeated  season.  8-0. 

Banfe-Plank:  3-1  last  week.  Big  Dan  Plank,  last 
year's  long-ball  king,  is  teamed  up  with  all-siar 
David  Banfe  and  my  dark-horse  favorite  for 
home-run  honors  Jim  Sanderson.  This  is  a  strong 
team  with  plenty  of  power.  They  will  finish  at  6- 

Miranda-Pjper:  3-1  last  week.  Steve  Miranda, 
Chris  Grissom,  and  Jim  Jordan  provide  consistent 
offense.  Versatile OrestJurkin  is thebestbat-and- 
waicr  boy  out  there.  Jordan  has  an  occasional 
toasier-mitt  syndrome  that  makes  pop-ups  look 
like  Pop-Tarts.  By  Ihe  way  Jim.  I'll  give  you  a 
good  deal  on  my  old  Wilson.  All  kidding  aside, 
this  team  is  good  and  should  have  been  4-0  at  this 

Johnson-Van  Meter:  2-1  last  week.  Co-captains 


Steve  Johnson  and  Dave  Van  Meter  have  launched 
more  orbililes  (1  made  the  word  up)  from  Col- 
legedale  in  one  week  than  NASA  has  from  Cape 
Kennedy  in  two  years.  Questionable  stability  but 
they  should  easily  finish  above  .500.  5-3. 

McKenzie-Aumack:  2-2  last  week.  Is  there  a 
team  sport  that  Mark  McKenzie  is  not  good  at? 
Walerpolo,  perhaps?  Freshman  Jarred  Thompson 
has  displayed  power  from  the  south-side  of  Ihe 
plate  which  is  very  advantageous  on  Field  "B." 
Dennis  Golightly  has  been  slap-happy  with  base- 
hits.  This  team  has  lalenl  but  is  slill  wet  behind  the 
ears.  I  foresee  a  5-3  finish. 

Monterde-Myers:  2- 1  last  week.  To  be  honest  I 
haven't  seen  these  guys  play  but,  Scott  Monlcrde, 
Steve  Krielner,  Scolty  Adams,  and  Troy  Epperson 
are  all  good  athletes.  A  middle  of  the  pack  team? 
4-4. 

Green-Forquer:  2-2  last  week.  On  paper  this 


should  be  a  decent  team  but  perfomiancc  thus  far 
has  been  erratic.  Maynard  Wheeler.  AKA  Alvin. 
managed  lo  injure  himself  swinging  for  the 
ce.  Randy  Rouse  has  played  only  twice  due  lo 
rk  and  Rick  Woolen  has  been  AWOL  since  day 
:.  Team  attendance  is  detrimental  to  the  future, 
A  .500  finish  would  be  good.  4-4. 

Horton-Johnson:  2-1  last  week.  This  is  another 
team  I  haven't  had  ihe  opportunity  of  seeing. 
Reggie  is  a  great  baseball  name  but  Horton  has  a 
lough  row  10  hoe  facing  Johnson,  Banfe  and  Fac- 
ulty toward  the  end  of  the  season.  My  prediction 
3-5. 

Beruman-Myers:  0-3  last  week.  This  team 
should  be  doing  bclier  with  laienl  like  Pal  Duff, 
Scolty  Langford.  and  Toby  Fowler.  Toby  cold- 
cocked  four  homers  in  their  first  two  games.  These 
guys  will  win  a  few  before  everything  is  said  and 
done.  3-5. 

Keppler-Williams:  1-3  last  week.  With  Ben 
Keppler.  Mall  Kroger,  and  Woody  While  this 
leam  certainly  has  all  the  ingredients  of  an  Oprah 
Winfrey  Show.  All  those  flashy  personalilics  will 
be  entertaining  bui  not  ihc  right  stuff  for  the  win 
columns.  No  offense  intended  guys-I'm  jusi  call- 
ing it  the  way  I  see  it,  and  I  see  a  2-6  final  standing. 
Huenergardl-Hernardez:  1-2  last  week.  Now 
here  is  a  leam  that  enjoys  itself.  Richard  Moody 
told  me  that  his  only  ambition  Ihis  season  is  lo  hit 
the  field  goal.  Okay  Rich,  give  me  a  call  when  il 
happens  and  we'll  run  a  special  feature.  Team- 
mate Catesby  Ware  is  a  little  more  knowledgeable 
about  soflball.  When  I  told  Catesby  whal  Richard 
had  said  about  hilling  a  field  goal  Caiesby  laughed 
and  replied  that  ihe  pitching  siaff  was  too  good  to 
give  one  up.  Until  Ihese  guys  bmsh-up  on  Iheir 
Softball  jargon  I  don't  foresee  too  many  victories. 
2-6. 

Russell-Center:  0-3  last  week.  Like  Isaid  earlier 
there  are  only  eight  games  in  the  season  so  ihe 
worst  thing  thai  could  happen  is  a  five-game  skid. 
Right,  guys?  I  know  a  lot  of  the  players  on  ihis 
leam  and  ihey  are  nice  guys,  but  nice  guys  finish 
last.  However.  I  do  have  faith  ihat  they  will  mar 
Iheirrccordwilh  victory.   1-7. 

Faculty:  1  -2  lasi  week.  Last  but  nol  least  is  our 
beloved  old-iimers.  No  lack  of  experience  on  this 
leam  but  they  are  off  loaslowslan.  Whal  this  leam 
would  benefit  from  most  is  a  weight  clause  in  all 
Iheir  coniracls.  I  believemost  oflhe  leam  spent  Ihe 
off  season  at  the  dinner  plate  rather  than  home- 
plaie.  My  prediction— they  are  unpredictable.

Bahamas  trip  during  summer  session

The  time  of  their  lives

Ten  exoticdays  in  the  Bahamas.  Sounds  like 
adream,  but  il  was  one  thai  came  true  for  eight 
Southern  College  students  enrolled  in  the 
tropical  marine  biology  class  offered  during 
the  first  summer  session.  They  left  SCon  May 
1 3,  driving  to  Fort  Lauderdale,  Florida.  From 
Florida  they  flew  on  a  chartered  airline  to  San 
Salvador  (on  the  eastern  side  of  the  Bahamas 
Islands). 


asked  students  to  identify  items. 

According  to  students,  there  was  a  myriad  of 
exciting  things  to  do  on  San  Salvador,  the 
island  Columbus  first  landed  on  centuries  ago 
as  he  searched  for  the  New  World.  Special  at- 
tractions included  Snapshot  Reef  (one  of  the 
most  widely  photographed  coral  reefs  in  the 
world)  where  six  students  were  able  to  go 
scuba  diving  one  day.  They  also  explored  a 
sunken  oil  tanker  in  Rice  Cay,  off  the  northern 
point  of  the  island.  On  Sand  Dollar  Beach, 
many  found  sand  dollars  (dead  and  alive)  and 
a  rare  species  of  turtle.

nourishment  in  the  coconuts  and  papayas

'Service'  focus  of  Commitment  Weelcend 

By  Donald  Short 

"Getting  involved  through  service- 
was  ihe  central  theme  during  Collegiale 
CommiUnenl  Weekend  Seplember  8- 
1 1.  The  focus  on  Christian  service  in- 
cluded several  messages  from  Elder 
Israel  Leito,  a  Prayer  Breakfast,  a 
glimpse  at  the  "Collegiale  Court,"  Tar- 
get Evangelism,  and  a  Lawn  Concert. 

Leito,  Senior  Youth  Ministries  Direc- 
tor of  the  General  Conference,  began  the 
Weekend  al  Thursday's  assembly.  He 
encouraged  the  "let's  gel  it,  and  get  it 
fast"  generation  to  look  at  a  different  set 
of  rules  and  make  ihe  "ideal  of 
service... paramount."  He  cited  Jesus'

Library  hours 
should  not  be  cut 


When  1  heard  the  library  would  cut  hours  in  the  mornings  and 
evenings  this  year,  I  couldn't  believe  it.  I  was  told  there  weren't 
enough  students  using  the  facility  lo  make  it  worth  keeping 
open.  What  kind  of  answer  is  that? 

1  understand  the  students  weren't  informed  library  hours 
were  subject  to  change  this  year.  The  decision  was  made  by 
the  academic  dean  {Royd  Greenleaf).  the  librariaiis,  and  the 
Instructional  Resources  committee  consisting  of  faculty  mem- 
bers from  most  of  the  departments  on  campus.  Statistics  from 
second  semester  last  year  were  used  todctermine  whereto  cut. 
The  library  student  count  from  10-11  p.m.  at  that  time  was 
about  20. 

It  still  might  be  20  this  year  (in  the  same  time  slot),  but  those 
20  count  on  being  able  to  study  in  the  library.  Most  of  us  live 
in  the  dorms  and  we  all  know  what  it's  like  lo  study  in  our 
rooms.  If  the  phone  isn't  ringing  off  the  hook,  or  friends  don't 
stop  by  to  visit,  or  the  stereo  down  the  hall  isn't  blaring — it's 
a  miracle ,  It  is  virtiially  impossible  to  study  in  your  own  room. 
On  nights  like  those,  you  welcome  the  thought  of  a  library, 

I  don'l  use  the  library  a  lot,  but  there  have  been  nights  I've 
taken  advantage  of  its  controlled  atmosphere  to  study  or  do 
research — right  up  until  11  p.m. 

What  about  those  students  who  depend  on  the  library  as  their 
study  haven? 

I  don'l  think  we  should  have  a  quota.  If  20  students  feel  Ihey 
need  the  library,  i(  should  be  kept  open. 

I  realize  it  costs  more  for  this  extra  hour  both  in  operating 
costs  and  in  student  wages.  Does  it  have  to  be  fully  staffed 
during  evening  hours?  I  wouldn't  think  so. 

Enrollment  is  up  around  100  students.  Si 
this  year  was  based  on  1 00  less  students  tha 
extra  money  coming  in  (student  tuition  lii 
should  be  enough  extra  cash  to  staff  (he  library  with  four  or  1i 
workers  in  the  evening.  Then,  students  who  depend  on  the 
library  being  open  until  11  p  m,  will  still  have  a  place 
to  go.  Kimberly  Crawley

cause  I  carried  a  briefcase. 

For  one  thing,  people  with 
briefcases  are  supposed  to 
make  good  grades,  right? 
People  were  constantly  asking 
me  for  help  in  some  class  or 
another  when  I  had  absolutely 
no  idea  what  was  going  on. 

"Bui.  you  have  a  briefcase," 
they  would  say  when  I  told 
them  I  knew  less  than  they  did. 

If  a  briefcase  didn't  make  me 
more  intelligent,  it  at  least 
made  me  look  more  intelligent. 
Il  also  made  me  look  like  a 
religion  major. 

Now,  whai  do  religion  majors 
do  with  their  briefcases  when 
Ihey  graduate?  They  don't

Two  aggravations 


inougti  not  to  the  point  of  losing 
sleep.  But.  this  year  I  feel  I  can 
no  longer  t>c  quiet. 

Aggravation  #1:  Take,  for 
eKumple.  a  simple  dollar  bill 
changer  in  Talge  Hall.  Anyone 
wishing  to  use  this  machine 
obviously  wants  four  quarters, 
right?  In  Talge  Hall,  a  person 
having  four  quarters  can  do  one 
load  of  laundry  (fifty  cents  for 
the  washer  and  fifty  cents  for 
the  dryer).  Unforfunately,  this 
cra^y  machine  decides  for 
:5ome  reason  not  to  give  me  four 
quaners.   Instead,  il  gives  me 

one  nickel.  If  [  had  wanted 
dimes  and  nickles.  1  would 
have  put  one  of  my  four  quar- 
ters back  into  the  machine  to

other  dollar,  find  anoiher  qu 
ter,  or  wear  wet  clothes. 
Which  should  it  be?    Is 


what  il  is  supposed  to  do. 

Aggravation  #2:  This  past 
Sunday  !  was  in  ihe  student 

and  working  on  Strawberry

memljercd  it  was  time  for  sup- 
per. I  slaned  to  go  down  the 
stairs  that  lead  directly  lo  Ihe 
cafeteria  but  found  that  I  could 
not  go  through  the  doorway. 
The  desk  worker  told  me  that  il 
was  an  administrative  decision 
to  keep  those  doors  locked  on 
Sundays. 

Why?  The  administrators 
obviously  don't  mind  students 
eaiing  on  Sundays  or  the  cafe- 
teria would  not  be  open.  They 
obviously  don't  mind  students 
being  in  the  student  center  on

they  lock  ihe  doors  connecling

Ubrary  trims  hours  to  save  money, 
avoid  hassle  finding  night  worl^ers 


ByTammyV 

A  lack  of  use  and  higher  cost  for  eve- 
ning workers  caused  McKee  library  to 

According  lo  Peggy  Bennett,  head 
librarian,  statistics  were  kept  on  the 
number  of  students  using  the  library 
each  hour.  The  hour  from  8-9  a.m. 
usually  had  a  count  of  about  six  siudenLs 
using  the  library  while  the  hour  from  1 0- 
1 1  p.m.  usually  had  20  students.  Based 
on  that  information  the  librarians,  the 
Instructional  Resources  Committee, 
and  the  academic  dean  decided  lo  open 
ihe  library  at  9  a.m.  and  close  at  10  p.m. 


Some  students  have  expressed  ( 

'ith  the  change  but  student 
president  Mark  Waldrop 
said,  "I  have  spoken  with  administration 

concerning  the  issue  and  I  am  confident 
they  will  work  with  students  on  it," 

"We  want  to  be  open  when 
people  want  to  use  the 
library."  -Bennett 

One  problem  leading  to  earlier  closing 
in  the  evening  was  the  difficulty  in  gel- 
ting  studenls  lo  work  that  laie,  according 
10  Benneli.     A  second  problem  was 


higher  wages  for  night  workers.  A  nighl 
worker  costs  the  school  65  cenls  more 
than  the  average  day  worker's  S3.35  an 

Hours  have  changed  on  Fridays,  too. 
The  library  now  closes  at  noon,  two 
hours  earlier  than  last  year  because  only 
four  to  five  students  used  the  facility 

The  library  did  extend  one  lime  slot- 
On  Sunday,  the  library  will  open  at  noon 
msiead  of  2  p.m.  because  many  students 
requested  additional  hours  on  Sundays. 

"We  want  to  be  open  when  people 
want  lo  use  the  library,"  said  head  librar-

Higher  tower  planned  for  WSMC 


By  Tiffany  Wilson 

WSMC.  Southern  College's  classical 
radio  station,  will  be  heard  better  than 
ever  before  in  the  next  few  months.  Due 
to  a  new  ruling  by  the  Federal  Commu- 
nications Commission,  the  station  must 
raise  iLs  tower  height  to  keep  the 
station's  100,000-waIt  status. 

Since  the  siarl  of  its  early  summer 
fund  drive,  WSMC  has  raised  $126,000. 
In  addition  to  monetary  benefits,  the 
campaign  has  helped  the  station  receive 
suppon  and  media  coverage  from  Chat- 
tanooga. WSMC  hopes  to  raise  an 
additional  S53,000  to  achieve  its  goal  of 
$179,000  by  the  projected  November 
Isi  cut-off  date.

higher  than  it  is  now."  Peel  added  that 
leaving  the  tower  ihe  way  it  is  would 
cause  the  station  to  be  reclassified  and 
reduced  to  50,000  watts.  The  station 
managers  decided  lo  raise  SI 79,000  lo 
buy  land  on  Signal  Mountain  for  a  new 
tower  rather  than  lose  the  present 
100.000-watlclassincation.  The  lower 
could  not  be  raised  at  its  present  location 
because  il  would  be  in  the  flight  patterns 
of  the  local  CoUegedale  Airport  and 
Chattanooga's  Lovell  Field  Airport. 

Hard  work  did  not  slop  the  station's 
promotions  and  develpment  directors 
from  pressing  toward  Iheir  goal  of  rais- 
ing $179,000.  The  campaign  began 
with  a  pany  at  the  River  Landing  in 
downiown  Chattanooga.  The  cam- 
paign,called  "Soaring  to  New  Heights." 
has  received  suppon  from  many  Chat- 
tanooga dignitaries.  Honorary  Chair- 
man Z.  Camer  Patten  of  Patten  and 
Panen  Inc..  along  with  WSMC  Devel- 
opment Director  Jann  Gentry .  contacted 
supponers  from  Chattanooga  busi- 
nesses and  foundations.  Supporters 
who  attended  the  campaign  party  in- 
cluded city  commissioners  Ron  Little- 
field  and  John  Franklin.  Although 
Chattanooga  Mayor  Gene  Roberts 
could  not  attend,  he  has  supported 
WSMC  in  past  years  and  officially

Rebuking  demons;  worshiping  dirty  pigs 


By  Shannon  Born 

"O.K.!  It's  time  to  Slop!  Everyone,  sit  down 
now.  STOP!" 

The  room  was  in  a  chaos.  I  was  the  student 
missionary  teacher  of  25  kindergarten  stu- 
dents who  couldn't  speak  English.  My  job 
was  to  make  sure  they  learned  it. 

The  exercise  this  particular  day  was  to  learn 
how  to  say,  "Excuse  me."  I'd  had  a  brilliant 
idea.  Everyone  would  run  around  the  room 
bumping  into  each  other  saying,  "Excuse  me. 

The  boys'  interpretation  was,  however,  to 
play  bulldozer  and  shout  the  words  at  the  girls 
as  Uiey  mowed  them  over.  Now  there  were 
three  little  girls  on  the  floor  crying.  Chairs 
were  turned  over  and  no  one  was  listening  to 

The  idea  wasn't  to  intentionally  hurt  each 
other  and  then  say,  "I'm  sorry."  They  knew 
that.  They  just  got  so  caught  up  in  the  excite- 
ment of  the  moment  that  they  didn't  care. 

That  night,  in  my  empty  classroom  grading 
papers,  I  remembered  a  story  about  five  vir- 
gins who  didn't  have  enough  oil  in  their  lamps 
when  the  bridegroom  came.  They  rushed  out 
to  buy  some,  but  it  was  too  late. 


We  all  want  to  go  to  heaven,  but  sometimes 
we  get  all  caught  up  in  the  excitement  of 
college  life,  dating,  and  studies.  We  rush 
forward  mowing  down  our  health,  the  com- 
mandments, and  each  other  thinking  eventu- 
ally we  can  call  over  our  shoulders,  "Excuse 
me.  Jesus.  I'm  sorry." 

I  also  remember  a  story  about  a  cataclysmic 
flood  coming  and  washing  the  world  away 
when  only  eight  people  believed  that  it  really 
would.  When  die  rain  fell,  it  was  too  late  to 
say,  "Excuse  me.  I'm  sorry." 

Once  there  were  some  people  who  lived  in 
the  region  of  Gadarenes.  They  were  scared 
because  two  of  their  men  were  demon  pos- 
sessed. No  one  knew  what  to  do.  The  men  had 
become  so  violent  no  one  ever  went  near  the 
burial  area  where  they  stayed.  Then  one  day 
Jesus  came  and  cast  the  demons  into  a  herd  of 
pigs.  Instead  of  being  thankful  that  their 
friends'  sanity  had  been  restored,  the  people 
of  Gadarenes  turned  out  en  masse  telling  Jesus 
to  leave.  He  tried  to  cleanse  their  town,  but 
they  only  cared  about  the  loss  of  their  filthy 
pigs. 

My  kindergarten  students  didn't  understand 
that  being  sorry  is  not  just  saying  a  few  words. 
It's  achanged  attitude.  It's  being  willing  to  let 


*^*, 


Jesus  cleanse  you  no  matter  what  the  cost. 

We  talk  about  Jesus  coming  soon.  We  pray 
about  it.  We  even  dream  about  it.  So.  what's 
the  holdup?  Why  are  we  still  waiting?  Maybe 
it's  just  a  little  too  hard  to  be  truly  repentant 
when  we  "re  still  worshiping  our  filthy  pigs. 

"When  the  character  of  Christ  shall  be  per- 
fectly reproduced  in  His  people,  then  He  will 
come  to  claim  them  as  His  own."  (Christ's 
Object  Lessons,  page  69.) 


Students  participate  in  evangelism 


By  Donald  Short 

"It  was  neat  because  it  was  so 
hands  on.  We  actually  did  some- 
thing." said  Kevin  Powell,  senior 
religion  major,  as  he  described 
the  recent  Field  School  of  Evan- 
gelism held  in  Atlanta.  One  of 
Powell's  responsibilities  was  to 
transport  an  elderly  lady  in  a 
wheelchair  to  and  from  the  eve- 
ning meetings.  "It  was  neat  see- 
ing her  progress.  Attheendofthc 
series.  I  was  able  to  assist  in  her 
baptism.  A  friend  and  I  lifted  her 
out  of  the  wheclchairand  lowered 
her  into  the  water." 

The  participants  revealed  their 
enthusiasm  in  a  variety  of  ways: 
"It  was  great — a  valuable  experi- 
ence." "[This  was]  definitely  one 
of  the  highlights  of  my  Christian 
experience."  "[We  had]  a  chance 
to  lake  class  knowledge  and  put  it 
in  shoe  leather." 

Dr.  Douglass  Bennett,  religion 
professor  and  director  of  the 
Southern  College  Field  School  of 
Evangelism,  defined  the  course 
as  "an  opportunity  for  real  hands- 
on  experience  in  soul  winning," 
Bennett  said  the  Field  School  idea 
was  conceived  at  Southern  Col- 
lege {in  1946)  and  has  been  held 


every  year  since  then  with  few 
exceptions. 

This  year's  program  was  con- 
ducted in  cooperation  with  pastor 
Ron  Halvorsen,  a  public  evangel- 
ist, and  revolved  aroundaRevela- 
tion  Now  evangelistic  seminar. 
The  Duluth,  Atlanta  North,  Met- 
ropolitan, Belvedere,  and  Stone 
Mountain  Seventh-day  Adventisi 
churches  sponsored  the  series, 
which  was  held  at  the  Perimeter 


footwork,  the  setting  up,  and  tak- 
ing down.  They  put  in  a  lot  of 
miles  and  hours  going  door  to 
door  and  following  up  interests," 
Crutcher.  also  an  alumnus  of 
Southern,  attributed  "a  large  part 
of  the  success"  to  what  God  was 
able  to  do  through  the  SC  partici- 

John  Haley,  senior  religion 
major,  felt  it  was  a  positive  expe- 
rience in  learning  how  to  relate. 


"It  teaches  holy  boldness  to  go  up 
and  shake  hands  and  share  the 
gospel  confidently."  -Haley

through  August  20.  The  Belve-

dations in  their  air-conditioned 
school  auditorium  for  the  14 
ministerial  students  who  began 
preparing  for  die  crusade  on  July 
5. 

Kent  Crutcher,  associate  pastor 
of  the  Belvedere  church,  ex- 
pressed appreciation  for  the  "tre- 
mendous amount  of  work"  done 
by  the  students.    "They  did  the

said,  "to  go  up  and  shake  hands

Jim  Quick  Sr..  senior  religion 
major,  says  he  better  understands 
what  is  involved  in  preparing  for 
an  evangelistic  effort.  "The 
whole  effort  hinges  on  the  prepa- 
ration of  the  church  members," 
saidQuick.  "[Itdependsonthem]

Entering  the  final  week  of  the  season,  the  Ma- 
chado-Jas  team  remains  undefeated.  These  men 
appeario  have  the  regular  season  pennant  all  sewn 
up.  At  week's  end,  hammerin'  Dan  Plank  had  six 
home-runs  after  six  games,  but  Sieve  .lohnson. 
Jarred  Thompson,  Dave  Van  Meter,  and  Toby 
Fowler  are  in  the  hunt  for  home  run  honors.  My 
dark-horse  favorite,  Jim  Sanderson,  has  stalled  at 
three.  Freshman  Jarred  Thompson  is  my  midsea- 
sonpickforrookieoflhe  year  with  five  dinkers  and 
flawless  fielding  for  McKenzie-Aumack. 

Last  week's  article  erroneously  staled  women's 
slow-pitch  coverage  would  begin  this  week.  I  did 
intend  to  have  write-ups  for  yourreading  pleasure. 
but  the  woman  I  asked  to  report  on  women's 
intramurals  failed  to  come  through.  Before  you 
begin  to  boil  tar  and  gather  feathers,  I  do  have 
standings  to  hopefully  pacify  you.  (Sorry,  ladies, 
no  write-ups.) 


Machado-.Jas:2-n  last  week,  5-0  overall.  Five 
down  and  three  to  go  for  that  perfect  season.  The 
bubble  almost  burst  Wednesday  night  playing 
Russell-Center.  It  took  a  seventh -inning  rally  lo 
retire  a  seven  run  deficit  and  avoid  the  upsei  ot  thu 
season.  No  chinks  in  the  armor,  yet. 

Johnson-Van  Meter:  1-0  last  week.  3-1  overall. 
A  big  victory  over  Banfc  has  moved  this  team  into 
-second  place.    The  offensive  merits  of  the  co- 


captains  are  as  distinguished  as  the  home  run 
standings  indicate  Kyle  Selby  has  consistently 
contributed  an  exceptionally  strong  offense  and 
defense.  Is  this  theteamloderail  Machado?  Only 
the  tournament  can  tell. 

Banfe-Plank:  l-l  last  week,  4-2  overall. 
Johnson-Van  Meter  have  beeNi  Banfe's  Achilles 
tendon.  Banfe's  twolossescame  against  Johnson, 
but  don't  count  Banfe  out  Saturday  night.  They 
will  be  within  striking  distance  to  win  it  all. 

Miranda-Piper:  1-1  last  week.  4-2  overall. 
Could  have  been  in  sole  possession  of  second 
place  if  not  for  an  unnecessary  loss  to  Green.  This 
is  definitely  an  upper  echelon  team,  but  they've 
lost  games  that  could  have  been  won.  These  guys 
might  go  either  way  in  the  tournament. 

Horton-Johnson:  I-l  last  week,  3-2  overall. 
Beat  Faculty  and  lost  to  Banfe.  Reggie  prophesied 
that  he'll  win  the  All  Night  Tournament,  Okay, 
Reggie,  let's  see  what  you  can  do,  I  don't  believe 
you'll  get  victory  number  one  against  any  of  the 
top  four. 

Monterde- Myers:  1-1  last  week.  3-2  overall.  A 
double  header  Monday  was  all  the  action  Mon- 
terde saw.  They  ran  over  Huenergardt,  then  ran 
into  Machado. 

McKenzie-Aumack:  1-1  lastweek,3-3ovcral!. 
Like  1  said  last  week,  this  team  has  talent  but 
they're  inexperienced.  McKenzie  has  won  games 
they  should  have  lost  and  lost  games  they  should 


have  won.  Example:  Monday  night  they  beat 
Green  in  aclose  game,  then  turned  around  and  lost 
to  Keppler. 

Green-Forquer:  1-1  last  week.  3-3  overall. 
Needed  to  win  against  Miranda  to  avoid  falling 
below  .,100  and  they  got  it.  May  be  a  Cinderella 
team  come  Saturday  night, 

Keppler-Williams:  l-I  last  week.  2-4  ove'^ll. 
Achieved  a  minor  upset  by  beating  McKenzie. 
But  that  might  have  been  the  last  rabbit  in  the  hat, 

Beniman-Myers:  1-0  last  week,  1-3  overall. 
These  guys  finally  played  their  potential,  There 
may  be  a  few  more  wins  before  it's  over. 

Russell-Center:  1-1  last  week,  l-4overall.  Hey! 
They  got  the  victory  I  predicted.  Last  week  I  said 
these  were  nice  guys  and  would  finish  last.  Well, 
theyjustmight  not  bring  upthcrearand  from  some 
of  the  comments  they've  registered  in  the  com- 
plaint department  (Kyle  Tomer),  they  might  not  be 
such  nice  guys  after  all, 

Huenergardl-Hernandez:  0-2  last  week,  1-4 
overall.  This  team  allowed  Russell's  first  victory 
and  seems  capable  of  taking  over  the  cellar.  Be- 
tween Russell  and  Faculty,  they  should  have  good 
competition. 

Facility:  0-2  last  week,  l-4overa!l.  Faculty  has 
been  a  "big"  disappointment  this  season.  All  that 
weight  has  taken  them  right  to  the  bottom. 

It's  a  wrap  on  sports  this  week.  Hope  to  sec  all 
of  you  Saturday  at  die  all-night  t<

Three  Southern  College  sophomores. 
Ingrid  Ecklund,  John  Caskey.  and  Tre-

come  of  age? 


When    students    returned    to    school    this    year,    they 
might    have    read    a    note    on    their    dormitoty    bulletin 
board  that  read  like  this:  A  student  must  avoid  all  inap- 
propriate  association  with   aicohol,   A  student 
hold  any  position  which  involves  the  serving  of  alcohol. 

According  to  the  notice,  no  Southern  College  student  is 
to  work  in  a  position  as  a  waiter  or  waitress  where  he 
or  she  must  take  orders  for,  and  serve  alcoholic  bever- 
ages as  a  part  o(  his  or  her  job 

This  "new'  niling  has  not  been  in  the  college  handbook 
although  it  has  been  a  campus  tradition  for  20  years, 
said  William  Wohlers,  vice  president  for  student 
services.  According  to  Wohlers,  a  committee  discussed 
the  pros  and  cons  of  this  new  addition  to  the  college  nile 

Shouldn't  the  school  allow  the  students  to  decide 
where  they  are  going  to  work  and  what  they  sen^e?  We 
are  adults  now,  aren't  we?  It  would  seem  the  admini- 
stration are  the  adults  and  we  are  always  the  children 
no  maHer  if  we're   18  or  25. 

If  the  school  has  a  ruling  on  serving  alcohol  why  don't 
they  have  a  rule  on  students  serving  bacon  and  cheese 
burgers 


According  to  Wohlers,  this  was  brought  up  in  the 
meeting  but  ihey  decided  not  to  rule  on  fast  fcnxl  stores. 

"We  do  not  want  to  tell  students  every  detail  of  what 
they  can't  do.  We  want  to  let  the  students  decide  on  some 
things,"    said    Wohlers, 

Why  does  the  school  decide  what  we  can  do  in  some 
areas  thai  are  against  church  policy  and  not  others  that 
are  condemned  in  the  Bible?  Maybe  the  school  should 
take  another  look  at  the  handbook  and  other  traditional 
nilings  and  allow  students  to  decide  what  they  can  do.

Memories  purchases  Macintosh

Southern  Memories  has  purchased  a 
Macintosh  SE  computer  to  expedite 
production  of  the  yearbook.  "Ilookedat

Soulhem  Memories  hasn't  yet  re-

Gepford  says  the  administration  ap- 
proved the  purchase  in  May,  but  didn't 
actually  place  ihe  order  until  mid-Au- 
gust. By  then,  says  Gepford,  there  were 
so  many  schools  ordering  Macintoshes 
that  Apple  is  behind  on  shipping.

When  Ihe  Macintosh  finally  arrives,  it 
will  help  in  a  variety  of  ways,  says

though  they  offered  competitive  prices,

Instead,  Gepford  plans  to  use  Wil-

To  Maiuro.  with  love 

Finding  strength  to  survive,  adapt  on  Majurol 


ByDebbieShult 

"Ladies  and  genliemen,  we  are  approaching 
ihe  beautiful  island  of  Majuro.  Please  bring 
your  seals  to  their  upright  position  and  secure 
Ihe  trays  in  front  of  you.  We  will  be  on  Ihe 
ground  shortly." 

My  heart  pounded,  my  camera  clicked. 
There  was  teeny,  liny  Majuro.  Located  about 
2300  miles  southwest  of  Hawaii,  it  boasted  a 
length  of  30  miles  and  an  average  width  of 
about  1/4  mile.  I  collected  my  things,  mum- 
bling a  short  prayer,  "Lord,  I'm  not  sure  why 
You  brought  me  here,  but  I'm  glad  You  did." 

Student  missionary  life  on  Majuro  had  be- 
gun. The  magic  word  overseas  is  "adapta- 
lion."  1  soon  adapted  to  rats  and  lizards  in  the 
house,  winds  strong  enough  to  blow  your  skirt 
overyourhead.  water  rations,  screaming  kids, 
and  rebellious  teens. 

Sixty  Marshailesc  young  people  were  en- 
trusted to  me  along  with  the  task  of  teaching 
seven  high  school  classes  a  day  (ranging  from 
Government  to  Biology  to  Bible).  As  lime 
went  on,  60  identical  brown  faces  emerged  as 
unique  and  precious  personalities.  It  was  just 
a  matter  of  time  before  I  fell  in  love  with  each 

And  God.. .He  was  out  to  teach  me  big  les- 
sons. I  arrived  planning  tliat  logclhcr,  Jesus 
and  1  were  going  toconverl  all  of  my  sludcnls. 


instead,  many  times  I  found  myself  begging 
for  the  strength  just  to  endure  my  students, 
much  less  convert  them. 

But  He  did  teach  me.  I  remember  one  day  in 
particular,  during  lOlh  grade  Bible  class.  I 
wanted  to  show  ihe  kids  that  temptation  hit  me 
just  as  hard  as  it  hit  them.  Then  Clinton,  one 
of  my  students,  said  something  I'll  never 
forget. 

"Bui  Miss  Shull,  if  you  have  a  solid  founda- 
tion, you  won't  fall."  I'd  never  heard  some- 
thing so  simple,  yet  so  pro  found.. .especially 
from  Clinton. 

"You're  right.  Clinton,"  I  said.  Later,  as  the 
students  filed  out,  I  inquired,  "Clinton,  do  you 
want  to  have  a  solid  foundation?"  He  looked 
down,  looked  at  me.  then  said,  "I'm  just  not 
ready  yet." 

I  saw  God  work  in  mighty  ways  during  my 
time  as  a  student  missionary.  One  boy, 
Xerxes,  decided  to  build  his  solid  foundation. 
Aftera  few  Bible  studies  and  many  deep  talks, 
Xerxes  made  the  choice  to  be  baptized  just 
hours  before  I  left  Majuro. 

Before  I  knew  it,  my  time  had  come  and 
gone,  and  I  was  sitting  by  the  ocean  for  the  last 
time.  1  remembered  the  good,  the  bad,  the 
happy,  thesad.  Tearscame full  blast.  How  do 
you  end  such  an  experience?  How  do  you 
write  about  it  when  it's  over?  I  learned  more 
about  life  in  seven  months  as  a  student  mis- 


sionary than  all  the  hours  I've  ever  spent  in  a 
classroom.  I  learned  about  another  culture   I 
learned  how  to  teach...I  learned  how  surpris- 
ingly weak  I  am. ..but  I  learned  how  incredibly  1 
strong  God  is. 

"Ladies  and  gentlemen,  welcome  aboard  I 
flight  957  direct  service  to  Honolulu,    We  I 
hope  you  have  enjoyed  your  stay  on  Majuro. 
Please  bring  your  seats  to  their  upright  posi- 
tion..." Homeward  bound. 


Service  means  being  blessed  in  many  ways

Even  after  I  had  made  the  decision  to  serve 
in  Korea  for  a  year,  doubts  speckled  my 
thoughts.  I  wondered  whether  the  few  reli-

would  effectively  reach  souls.  I  nervously 
pondered  delaying  my  education  for  a  year.  I 
pictured  my  scholastic  knowledge  waxing

Korean  English,  Bible,  a  man  named  Bill 


By  Jim  King 

As  I  traveled  south  toward  the  small  city  of 
Ping  Tung,  Taiwan,  I  tried  to  imagine  what  it 
would  look  like.  Would  I  be  living  in  a  grass 
hut  for  the  next  nine  months?  I  envisioned 
myself  surrounded  by  little  children,  telling 
stories  of  Jesus  with  my  Bible  and  picture 

I  was  quite  surprised  when  our  bus  stopped 
in  the  middle  of  a  thriving  town  and  the 
attendant  said  it  was  my  stop.  I  gazed  in  awe 
at  the  traffic,  lights,  and  buildings.  No  grass 
huts.  I  would  be  living  very  comfortably  in  a 
three-bedroom   apartment,   and  my   duties 

Bill  Huang  was  a  short, 
stocky  man  who  had  a  reputa- 
tion around  the  mission  com- 
pound. 

would  be  teaching  English  and  Bible  classes 
Monday  through  Thursday  for  7-8  hours  per 
day.  It  really  wasn't  what  I  expected,  which 
left  me  a  little  confused  about  my  mission. 
Then  I  met  Bill. 

Bill  Huang  was  a  short,  stocky  man  who  had 
a  reputation  around  the  mission  compound. 
He  had  studied  there  and  befriended  many 


previous  student  missionaries.  I  had  heard 
about  his  habits  and  temper  but  was  interested 
to  find  out  about  him  for  myself.  So  when  Bill 
offered  to  take  me  to  a  famous  Chinese  land- 
mark. 1  gladly  accepted.  On  the  way  there,  he 
bombarded  me  with  questions.  Most  were 
very  direct,  even  stinging.  1  thought  to  myself, 
"Who  is  this  man  to  judge  me?  He  isn't  even 
a  church  member."  But  Bill  would  always 
say,  "I  bear  you  no  malice." 

On  the  way  home  I  was  feeling  tired  and  was 
nodding  off  when  I  heard  Bill  start  to  hum  a 
hymn.  Although  surprised,  I  began  to  hum 
with  him.  We  sang  for  the  next  two  hours — 
old  hymns  as  well  as  contemporary  songs  for 
young  people.  It  was  the  beginning  of  a  close 
friendship  between  the  two  of  us.  Whenever 
I  began  to  lose  sight  of  my  mission,  Bill  was 
there  to  remind  me.  I'm  sure  God  was  using 
him  to  keep  me  straight  and  focused  in  my 

Tlie  remaining  months  went  by  quickly, 
with  school  outings,  student  visitations, 
teaching,  and  Bible  study  filling  my  days.  Bill 
continued  to  give  me  and  the  other  student 
missionaries  advice  on  how  we  could  better 
serve  the  people  in  Taiwan. 

The  students  I  had  in  the  language  school 
enjoyed  learning  English,  but  also  responded 
to  the  message  of  Christ  presented  in  our 
worships  and  parables.    And  they  loved  to 


learn  and  sing  Christian  songs. 

Being  a  student  missionary  taught  me  a  lot. 
Many  times  I  told  my  students  that  it  didn't 
seem  fair  because  they  taught  me  more  than  I 
taught  them.  If  you  are  thinking  about  being 
a  student  missionary,  ask  yourself  what  you 
can  do  for  the  people  before  you  commit 
yourself.  Make  sure  you  know.  Then  look 
"forward  to  a  year  of  service  thai  you'll  never 


Enforcing  the  rules,  learning  lessons  myself 


ByPamPickhaut 

"What  made  you  decide  to  be  an  assistant 
dean?"  That's  the  question  people  ask  me 
most  often  this  year. 

My  career  as  a  task  force  worker  started  out 
as  just  a  wild  idea.  My  friend,  Tammy,  and  I 
were  tired  of  studying.  We'd  been  going  to 
school  for  15  years  and  this  was  the  perfect 
break.  We  knew  what  academy  life  was  like 
and  the  kids  would  love  having  some  young 
"cool"  faculty. 


Together,  Tammy  and  I  could  make  life 
easier  for  the  students  and  at  the  same  time 
have  a  fun  year  away  from  studying. 

Well,  things  didn't  tum  out  the  way  we 
planned.  Tammy  was  under  the  age  required 
to  be  a  task  force  worker  and  I  was  stuck  going 
to  Bass  Memorial  Academy  all  by  myself. 
Suddenly  this  didn't  seem  like  such  a  great 
idea  after  all.

faculty  member  or  to  lead  students  closer  to  Christ  and  help

I  began  lo  think  seriously  about  being  an 
assistant  dean.  What  was  my  real  reason  for 
going  to  BMA?  To  be  a  "cool"  faculty 
member  or  lo  lead  students  closer  lo  Christ 
and  help  them  set  their  own  standards? 

A  couple  of  weeks  before  school  started,  I 
airived  in  Mississippi  still  wondering  what 
kind  of  year  it  would  be.  It  finally  dawned  on 
me  thai  maybe  I  was  there  for  a  reason.  Maybe 
God  was  planning  to  use  me  as  an  influence  in 
people's  lives.  I  made  up  my  mind  I'd  try  to 
be  a  good  Christian  example  and  support  the 
school  and  its  rules,  even  when  il  meant  not 
being  liked  by  the  students. 

It  wasn't  easy  fo

loved  gelling  to  know  the  studenls.  They  were

Democratic  presidential  hopeful  Mi- 
chael Dukakis,  .spoke  of  her  interest  in 
politics  and  stressed  the  important  role 
college  students  can  play  in  an  election. 
According  to  Dukakis,  college  students 
would  have  formed  the  second  largest 
voting  block  in  the  last  election  had  all 
exercised  their  voting  priviledges. 

Also  this  summer,  Bledsoe  and  sopho- 
more biology  major  Janet  Lamb  at- 
tended pan  of  a  three-day  National 
College  Democratic  Conveniion  in 
Nashville  Aug.  12-14.  Both  Bledsoe 
and  Lamb  were  part  of  an  environ- 
mental committee  for  the  plaiform  of 
College  Democrats.  "It  was  a  highly 
educational  process,"  said  Bledsoe. 

Al  Gore,  who  spoke  at  the  conveniion 


on  Friday,  told  of  his  attempt  for  Demo- 
cratic party  nomination  and  pledged  his 
support  for  the  democratic  parly. 

The  SC  democrats  will  be  meeting 
again  to  elect  additional  club  officers 
and  finalize  plans.  Signs  will  be  posted

[Lastine  nabs  winning  trophy  in  SC  Triatlilon 

By  Randy  Rouse 

If  you  weren't  in  Cohulia  Springs.  Ga.,  at  7  a.m.  on 
Sept.  25.  you  missed  Jim  Herman  and  dozens  of  others 
gathered  for  ihe  fourth  annua!  SC  Trialhlon. 

A  scanlily-clad  bunch  was  figeiy  and  nervous,  but 
not  from  lack  of  clothing  or  the  presence  of  shuller- 
bugs.  This  group  was  anxiously  anticipating  an  early 
morning  dip.  A  1/2-miIe  swim  across  Lake  Cohuila 
would  precede  a  30-mile  jaunt  by  bike  and  a  10- 
kilometer  run.  (Ten  kilometers  js  6.2  miles— for  those 
with  inquiring  minds  who  want  to  know.) 

The  participants  call  themselves  triathleies.  I  v 
call  them  masochists  by  the  terms  of  their  endea 
Personally,  it  was  enough  for  me  to  make  it  out  of  bed 
at  such  a  ghastly  hour  on  Sunday  morning — the 
thought  of  hopping  into  the  lake  was  completely  re- 
volting. Don't  think  I'm  knocking  the  athletes— they 
are  a  rare  breed  and  1  respect  their  capabilities.  To  be 
a  iriathlele  requires  more  than  recreational  participa- 
tion. Ii  demands  a  lifeiiiyle  of  discipline. 

Craig  had  a  good  swim  but  excelled 
on  the  biking,  where  he  builtan  insur- 
mountablelead. 

Shortly  after  sunrise.  Phil  Garver  assembled  the 
athletes  on  the  boat  ramp.  With  a  prayer  and  a  gunshot. 
he  sent  the  herd  stampeding  into  the  lake.  First  to 
emerge  on  the  other  side  was  Tim  Prusia,  who  estab- 
lished a  lead  on  the  pack  upon  which  relay  team 
members  Chris  Mitchell  and  Dave  "Gazelle"  Nemess 
built.  Prusianot  only  lead  Ihe  victorious  relay,  but  also 
went  on  to  place  third  for  the  men's  individual. 

Congratulations  to  my  R.A.,  Jeff  Gang,  for  a  strong 
second  in  the  men's  individual.  (How  many  razors  did 
it  take  to  shave  your  legs,  Jeff?) 

Southern  College  Ironman  honors  go  to  Craig 
Lastine,  a  freshman  and  alumnus  of  Mount  Pizgah 
Academy.  Craig  had  a  good  swim  but  excelled  on  the 
biking,  where  he  built  an  insurmouniable  lead. 

Todd  Wilkens,  also  an  alumnus  of  MPA  who  fin- 
ished second  in  last  year's  Trialhlon,  did  not  parlici- 
pjie  due  to  a  reported  injury. 

The  Mount  Pizgah  Academy  women's  relay  team 
Hnished  first  for  Ihe  academy  bracket  and  the  boy's 
leam  took  second.  (What  do  they  feed  those 
Piigahiies?) 

In  the  women's  field,  two-lime  defending  champion 
Sherri  Wright  was  expected  to  repeat  her  past  perform- 
ances, but  not  unchallenged.  Sheny  Green,  under  the 
direction  of  trainer/boyfriend  Steve  Kreitner.  was 
prepared  to  contend.  Wright  took  an  early  lead  in  the 
water  but  Green  made  up  valuable  time  on  the  bike. 
Wright  was  just  moments  into  the  lOK  run  when  Green 
dismounted  for  the  last  leg  ol 
heroic  efforts.  Green  fell  just  n

Bui  what  about  competition  at  Southern  College?    How 

much  is  a  good  thing  and  where  do  you  draw  the  line? 
Take  sports  (or  example.  We  recently  witnessed  the 
Triathlon  competition.  While  many  participants  en- 
tered for  the  sheer  agony  of  it  all.  there  were  those  who 
wanted  lo  come  in  number  one.  Competition  drove  them. 
Maybe  it  pushed  them  a  little  harder  than  usual-  Maybe 
it  helped  them  excel.  (Wimp  factor  of  10  lo  anyone 
suggesting    there    wasn't    any    competition.) 

Parry, 

Then  there's  the  College  Bowl  where  Southern  s  fin- 
est minds  compete.  Encouraging  intellectual  growth, 
the  argument  goes.  And  it  does.  Competition  pushes 
excellence  in  any  field,  be  it  the  marketplace,  on  the 
job,  in  sports,  or  in  academics. 

Turn, 

No  question.  There  is  the  Hip  side.  The  hurt  pride.

Letters/Opinions 


Three  cheers 

Southern  College  is  in  the 
middle  of  an  ocean  of  opinions 
aboui  the  t)esi  way  to  run  a 
campus — and  it  is  hardly  pa- 
cific. Who  should  have  the  last 
word  on  campus  policy  any- 
way? Currently  thai  responsi- 
bility seems  lo  lie  with  the 
administration.  Policy  changes 

mosl  of  this  year's  changes  are 
sensitive  and  insightful — lo 
which  parking  nile  changes  are 

a  particularly  ugly  exception. 

Three  changes  really  im- 
pressed me: 

I-  Dumping  ihe  poorly  at- 
tended moming  dorm  worships 
jnd  moving  the  late  worships 
later  showed  a  responsiveness 
10  siudcnis'  needs. 

2,  Adminislralive  behavior  is 
now  reinforcing  its  staled  be- 
lief thai  student  assemblies  are 
imponani.    Chapels  are  fewer 

jnd  have  an  aura  of  importance 
Itecause  of  slricily  enforced 
jiiendance. 


3.  Campus  Shop  reforms  in 
the  way  twoks  and  school  sup- 
plies are  charged  seem  like  a 
gift  from  heaven.  It  is  years 
overdue,  and  it  certainly  treats 

pus  for  a  cash  advance  if  your 
textbooks  were  unusually  ex- 
pensive this  semester. 

Are  these  examples  just  roses 
among  the  thorns?  I  think  if 
siudenLs  honestly  assess  life  on 
campus,  they  will  be  pleasantly 
surprised  alwul  how  good  it 
really  is  here  in  happy  valley.

Wright  Hall's  wooden  columns

By  Jim  King 

Visible  decay  around  some  of  Wrighi 
Hall's  four  columns  is  causing  safety 
concerns  and  embarrassment  among 
students  and  administrators  al  Southern

In  1966,  the  columns  were  manufac- 
tured at  a  plant  in  the  northeastern 
United  Stales.  They  were  the  longest 
wooden  columns  east  of  the  Mississippi 
River,  according  to  former  director  of 
engineering  Francis  Cosierisan,  who 
n  of  many  SC 


The  college  hired  John  Leeke,  a  con- 
sultant for  the  restoration  of  historical 
buildings,  to  do  an  evaluation  on  Sept. 


6.  He  gave  a  limited  analysis  to  Chuck 
Lucas,  SC's  director  of  engineering,  but 
his  full  report  won't  be  available  for  two 

There  are  conflicting  reports  about 
how  much  weight  the  columns  actually 
support.  Kenneth  Spears.  Vice  Presi- 
dent of  Finance,  said  there  are  two  main 
reasons  why  Ihe  restoration  project  is 
top  priority.  First,  thecolumns  look  bad; 
secondly,  they  are  load-bearing  which 
means  if  they  deteriorate  loo  much,  the 
entire  porch  will  collapse.  However, 
Costerisan,  who  supervised  the  installa- 
tion of  the  columns,  disputed  the  second 
point.  He  said  the  pillars  were  "not 
really  load  bearing"  and  the  porch  was 
"preny  much  structurally  sound." 

Condensation  forming  inside  the  pil- 
lars is  thought  to  be  the  cause  of  the 
columns'   deterioration.      When   they 


were  installed,  Costerisan  put  in  an  air 
vent  at  the  top  of  the  hollow  columns 
and  placed  them  on  a  pedestal  ai  the  base 
to  allow  air  flow  throughout. 

According  to  Costerisan,  there  might 
not  have  been  enough  air  flow  through 
the  columns  so  that  when  the  air  tem- 
perature inside  the  columns  dropped  al 
night,  condensation  fOrmed  on  the  un- 
protected wood. 

Costerisan  said  there  were  problems 
with  this  approach.  The  column  cores 
are  rough,  sawed,  untreated  lumber 
which  can  readily  absorb  moisture.  The 
company  which  manufactured  the  col- 
umns, said  Costerisan.  told  the  college 
treating  the  wood  was  unnecessary. 

According  to  the  engineering  depart- 
ment, if  the  college  chooses  to  replace

Girls'  club  plans  'Love  Festival' 


ByKimThedford 
It  has  been  said  "variety,  fellowship, 
.md  relaxation  are  what  one  hopes  to 
fmd  when  choosing  a  club  to  spend 

There  is  a  club  here  on  campus  that 
promises  to  fulfill  those  needs.  The  club 
says  it  offers  new  ideas  and  old  ideas 
with  new  twists.  It's  Sigma  Theta  Chi, 
more  commonly  known  as'  the  girls'

Owen  says  this  year  will  be  different 


I  help  them  unwind  and  take  a  break 
from  studying.  "Participation  is  impor- 
tant to  make  things  fun,"  says  Owen, 
"but  I  can't  force  it  on  anyone." 

STC  is  planning  many  new  activities 
along  with  some  traditional  ones.  There 
will  be  a  banquet,  rafting  trip,  Christmas 
party,  daughter/parent  brunch  and 
slumber  party  in  the  gym.  The  officers 
are  also  planning  several  fund  raisers. 

Owen  says  that  with  the  help  of  Vice 
President  Annette  Bassen,  Social  Vice 
President  Valerie  Long,  Secretary 
Tonya  Lamb,  and  Public  Relations 
Coordinator  Cynthia  Michaels,  all  will 
be  presented  smoothly. 


The  annual  STC  banquet  will  be  held 
during  the  month  of  November.  The 
Christmas  party  will  serve  to  reveal 
secret  sisters  to  all  of  the  guys.  The 
daughter/parent  brunch  and  the  all- 
night  slumber  party  is  scheduled  for 

All  Southern  College  women  are  STC 
members.  Owen  has  planned  fund  rais- 
ers to  help  cover  expenses,  as  there  is  no 
club  membership  fees.  There  will  be  a 
dollar  drive,  singing  valentines  avail- 
able around  Valentines  Day,  and  a  hair 
show  with  the  theme  "Love  Festival." 
Says  Owen.  'The  hair  show  will  be 
awesome — outof  this  world."  Last  year 
over  S500  was  raised  and  used  to  buy 
clothing,  presents,  and  food  for  one 
family  at  Christmas  time.

Gilder,  Kuttner  to  debate  economic  policies 


By  Wendy  Odell 

Political  debating  is  almost  becoming  a  national 
obsession  in  this  year  of  big  political  decisions.  Not  to

have  a  political  debate. 

'That  would  be  a  lot  more  interesting  and  illuminat-

president  for  Student  Services. 

The  speakers,  though  not  presidential  candidates,  are 
widely  renowned. 

George  Gilder,  held  to  be  an  undaunted  proponent  of 
free  enterprise,  is  credited  with  influencing  and  shap- 
ing die  United  States  economic  policy  during  die  two 
terms  of  the  current  administration. 

Robert  Kuttner,  also  a  leading  economic  analyst,  will 
represent  a  different  stand  on  the  relevant  economic 
issues  in  tiiis  election.  Kutmer  is  presendy  a  national

Kuttner  have  given  back  to  the  educational  system  by

taught  at  Boston  and  Harvard  universities,  and  Gilder 
at  Ihe  Kennedy  Institute  of  Politics 

Gilder  and  Kutuier  have  met  in  similar  arenas  in  die

Hey  Confused, 

A  year  ago  we  were  required  to  attend  five 
dorm  worships  per  week.  Thisycarithasbeen

representing  not  only  the  church,  but  more 
importantly,  Christ.  At  a  Christian  college  we 
should  practice  what  we  preach.

Hey  Missing  Studies, 

Chapels  are  required  because  there  should 
be  a  time  in  the  week  when  the  student  body 
can  get  togetherfor  spiritual  or  secular  fellow-

chapels,  but  1  'm  sure  your  parents  have  forced 
you  many  limes  to  do  things  you  didn't  want 
to  do.  (And  in  the  long  run  it  was  good  for

building  it."  But  wouldn't  it  have  been  better  | 
to  have  thanked  the  person  for  their  interest  ir

Source  of  Light  teaches  song  of  life,  hope 


BySeanTerrelta 

Last  night  I  had  a  dream. 

I  dreamed  I  was  standing  on  a 
misty  plain.  As  1  looked  about 
me,  everything  grew  dark.  The 
air  was  damp  and  hung  with  the 
stench  of  decay.  A  harsh,  cold 
wind  cut  through  my  clothing  and 
carried  a  cacophony  of  sound  like 
a  thousand  voices  crying  out  in 
terror.  !  could  see  nothing  but  the 
endless,  impenetrable  mist.  I 
began  to  wander  across  the  plain.

thing, anything  to  break  the 
monotony  of  gray.  Something  lo

clashing  dissonance.  Each  time, 
my  heart  grew  colder.  The  mist 
grew  more  dense;  the  darkness 
more  oppressive. 

My  mind  at  last  grew  weary  of 
the  night  and  created  fantastic 
images  for  me  to  gaze  upon.  My 
hands  worked  feverishly  to  carve 
them  out  in  stone  in  a  vain  effort 
to  make  them  more  solid — more 
real.  But.  each  of  my  sculptures 
turned  out  to  be  only  a  crude  par- 
ody, mocking  dimly-remem- 
bered shadows. 

Soon  I  gave  up  these  inventions 
of  my  phantasmic  imagination 
and  turned  lo  thoughts  of  escape. 
I  tried  to  sleep,  but  the  clamoring 
voices  would  not  let  me.  I  tried  to 
run,  but  stumbling  on  the  stones  I 
had  carved,  I  fell  headlong  to  the 
frozen  earth  and  my  heart  tumed

soul.  I  found  my  voice  and  sang 
one  note  long  and  clear.  Another 
voice  very  near,  but  very  soft, 
answered.  More  voices,  from  all 
across  the  plain,  joined  in.  Soon, 
the  single  notes  blended  together, 
swelling  to  magnificent  harmony 
under  ihe  guidance  of  the  Light. 

Revived,  1  stood,  and  reaching 
out  I  touched  another  shadow's 
hand.  A  spark  arced  between  us 
bursting  into  flame,  illuminating 
us  and  wanning  our  hearts,  re- 
freshing our  minds.  The  mist 
rolled  back,  revealing  myriad 
pinpoints  of  light  in  the  velvet

Band  opens  season  with  sacred  concert 


ByUiivid  Hamilton 

The  Souihem  College  Concen  Band 
gave  its  firsi  program  of  ihe  1988-89 
school  year  during  Friday  evening  ves- 
pers at  ihe  Collegedalc  Church. 

The  band  music  Friday  night  included 
all  aspects  of  the  vespers  service.  In 
addition  to  the  main  program,  they 
played  quiet  hymns  as  students  illed  into 
the  sanctuary  and  a  musical  postlude 


Mrs.  Patricia  Silver,  who  has  been  at 
Southern  College  seven  years,  con- 
ducted the  band,  She  has  been  conduct- 
ing bands  since  1958. 

"...SO  to  be  different,  one  of 
our  student  conductors  will 
take  over  tonight  on  tliis 
piece."  -Silver 

"With  the  organ  and  the  beauty  of  the 
sanctuary,  this  song  wilt  be  a  very  appro- 
priate piece,"  said  Silver  at  the  introduc- 
tion of  the  band's  first  musical  anange- 
ment.  Prelude  and  Fugue  in  C  Minor.

AIDS  focal  point  of  student  education  week 


Southern  College  recently  concluded 
an  AIDS  education  week.  Surgeon 
General  Dr.  C.  Everett  Koop's'film  on 
AIDS  was  shown  during  dorm  worships 
Sept.  25-28  and  local  epidemiologist 
Dr.  Douglas  Bechard,  a  graduate  of 
Loma  Linda  University,  was  assembly 
speaker  on  Sept.  29. 

"I'd  already  heard  everything  that  was 
presented  on  the  AIDS  film,  but  it's  still 
a  scary  thing  to  me."  said  Diane  Ott. 
sophomore.  "I'm  certainly  going  lo  do 
everything  I  can  to  avoid  the  known 
transmitters  of  AIDS,  but  I'm  not  going 
to  be  so  afraid  of  getting  the  disease  that 
I  avoid  restaurants  and  public  places." 

"I'm  not  scared  of  AIDS  because  I 
know  thaiifl  kc€p  my  actiogether.  there 
won't  be  a  chance  of  me  catching  it." 
said  Brennon  Kirsicin.  freshman, 

Dr.  William  Wohlers,  vice  president 
for  Student  services,  said  even  though 
Southern  College  students  are  probably 
at  lower  risk  of  contracting  AIDS  than 
public  university  students,  "that  could 
get  us  to  think  AIDS  is  not  our  problem. 


said  perspective,  information,  and  edu- 
cation were  key  items  in  fighting  AIDS. 
"I  can  assure  you.  everyone  here  will 
know  .someone  with  AIDS  in  three 
years,"  Bechard  said. 

Bechard  quoted  statistics  compiled  in 
Nov.  1987  reporting  44.757  AIDS  cases 
in  the  United  States.  Breakdown  of 
AIDS  eases  by  ethnic  background 
showed  heavy  minority  concentrations. 
Blacks  account  for  24,8%  of  all  AIDS 
cases  while  making  up  11.5%  of  the 
United  States  population.     Hispanics 


55.000   people — close    to   the   same 

Vietnam— will  die  of  AIDS  in  1991. 

People  are  becoming  more  aware  of 
the  danger  AIDS  presents,  said  Bechard. 
Education  is  the  most  important  step  in 
combating  what  Bechard  terms 
AFRAIDS  (Acute  Fear  Regarding 
AIDS). 

AIDS  is  a  virus  which  attacks  T4cells, 
These  cells  are  crucial  to  body  defenses 
against  cancer  cells,  intruding  bacteria, 
and  viruses.  Over  a  period  of  time,  as  the 


"I  can  assure  you,  everyone  here  will  know  someone  with 
AIDS  in  three  years."  -Bechard 


50.000  chance  of  getting  AIDS 
(one  out  of  5.000  people  dies  in  an  auto- 
mobile accident). 

Casual  contact  with  AIDS  patients  is 
safe,  said  Bechard.  There  have  been  no 
documented  AIDS  cases  from  using  the 
same  toilet,  bath.shower.drinkingglass. 
bed.  nail  clippers,  silverware,  orchinaas 
an  AIDS  paiienL 

Bechard  outlined  three  ways  to  keep 
from  contracting  AIDS.  Mutually 
monogamous  sex  headed  Bechard's 


dbyk 


account  for  24.8%  of  AIDS  cases  and 
6.4%of  the  general  population,  (Cauca- 
sians account  for  60.6%  of  AIDS  cases 
and  79.6%  of  the  general  population.) 
Other  groups  account  for  the  remainder. 

There  have  been  72.500  AIDS  cases 
reported  to  date— 43.000  of  those  are 
now  dead.  Three-thousand  new  ciises 
arc  diagnosed  each  month,

Following  our  paths 


The  evolution  of  a 
'new'  concept 


In  a  true  democracy,  representatives  follow  the  paths 
of  the  people  who  elect  them.  Here's  three  cheers  for 
an  administration  and  grounds  department  that  did  well 
to  follow  our  paths. 

A  mathematical  principle  states  the  shortest  distance 
between  two  points  is  a  straight  line.  Civil  engineers 
know  it.  Pilots  know  it.  Reduced  travel  time  is  the  result. 

Here  in  Happy  Valley,  our  math  came  slower.  For 
years,  slippery  footpaths  were  the  most  direct  but  most 
dangerous  routes  on  campus. 

This  was  the  first  stage  of  our  college  sidewalk  evolu- 
tion:  neanderthal  mud  canals. 

Picture  the  scene.  Theyearr  1985.  Thcweather:  mud 
soup.  Thetime:  7;59a.m.  The  route:  the  footpath  from 
Talge  to  Lynn  Wood  Hall.  The  victim:  a  Talge 
freshman.  With  that  combination  if  isn't  hard  to  visualize 
flying  books  and  mud-stained  pants.  The  evolution  of 
sideivalks  catapulted  into  the  20th  century. 

Our  second  stage  was  the  Berlin  wall.  In  Berlin  first 
came  the  warning.  Here  it  was  a  sign.  People  walked 
(or  ran)  past  both.  In  Berlin  they  built  the  wall.  On  one 
path  here,  it  was  a  fence.   People  jumped  both. 

We  like  not  only  speed,  but  freedom  to  walk  that 
straight  line. 

Our  grounds  department  knew  that.  They  had  plans 
for  our  third  stage  of  development  over  six  years  ago. 
Rnally  it  hascome:  the  concrete  sidewalk.  Not  only  do 
we  have  a  sidewalk  between  Talge  Hall  and  Lynn  Wood 
Hall,  but  also  between  the  halls  of  Talge  and  Daniels. 
Wright  and  Brock. 

No  longer  must  we  sing  "slip  sliding  away."  No  longer 
are  we  contained  Berlin-style.  We  have  clean  clothes, 
less  erosion,  and  less  aggravation.  All  thanks  to  innova- 
tive people  who  recognized  a  simple  need  for  change.

Symphony  to  perform  at  Carnegie 


ByChrisSepulveda 

The  Southern  College  Symphony 
Orchestra  will  open  its  1989  summer 
lour  with  a  performance  in  New  York's 
Carnegie  Hall.  The  Orchestra  opens  this 
year's  fall  season  Oct.  29. 

A  few  weeks  ago  the  84-member  or- 
chestra submitted  an  audition  tape  to  the 
"Youth  Music  Debut  Series"  and  was 
selected  from  hundreds  of  groups  for  the 
Carnegie  Hall  concert. 

"I  think  it's  going  to  be  a  good  experi- 
ence for  the  group."  said  two-year  vio- 
linist Ndala  Gooding,  sophomore. 


Following  the  Carnegie  Hall  perform- 
ance, the  group  will  fiy  lo  Greece  where

dumping  their  dirty  oil  on  the  ground, 
which  is  illegal.  "We  were  afraid  the

Then,  after  several  years  of  being  up, 
the  racks  were  taken  down  by  the  ad-

"We  wouldn't  mind  the  racks  being

We've  been  here  for  about  seven  weeks,  and  we're 
loving  eveiy  minuie  of  il.  righl?  I  mean,  who  could 
Ihink  of  anything  belter  than  homework,  tests,  and 
midtenns?  College  is  to  educate,  so  we  sit  in  our 
rooms— glued  to  our  desks— reading,  writing,  calcu- 
lating, and  occasionally  pulling  out  hair  in  pure  frustra- 

I'm  here  to  tell  you  there  is  more  to  life  than  sUtisiics.

many  guys  in  one  place  at  one  time?  Some  are  even 
pretty  cute!  So  whaido  wedo?  We  could  wait  for  that 
certain  man  to  ask  us  out,  or  we  could  ask  out  that  man 

Oct.  7-9  is  the  SA's  Dutch  Weekend,  which  means

won't  reject  you  (unless  he's  already  been  asked  out  by 
another  woman),  so  call  him  now. 

Tie  key  to  remember  is  that  this  is  a  Dutch  Weekend,

Personal  view 


Flagball:  a  matter  of  opinion 


By  Randy  Rouse 

Crisp  evenings  of  early  autumn  kindle  fond  memo- 
ries of  my  illustrious  academy  flagball  career.  Here  at 
Southem,  it  is  fall  once  again  and  football  season  is 
upon  us.  Fall  is  my  favorite  season  and  flag  football 
has  been  my  favorite  intramural  since  academy. 

In  academy  we  used  to  pout  about  not  being  allowed 
[o  play  tackle  and  being  restricted  to  "wimpy"  flagball. 
Now  at  college,  football,  reduced  to  flagball,  has  been 
neutered  and  dubbed  "Hawaiian." 

1  had  a  mental  block  about  Hawaiian  flagball — it  was 
difficult  forme  to  visualize  my  self  as  Dan  Marino,  Jim 
McMahan,  or  John  Elway  playing  football  to  coconut 
grove  rules.  As  a  maner  of  fact.  I  even  chortled  to 
myself  while  dressing  for  a  game,  thinking  that  a  grass 
skin  and  sandals  would  be  more  appropriate  than 
shorts  and  cleats.  I  was  not  alone  in  my  brooding. 
Recently  1  have  overheard  many  colleagues  grumbling 
and  whining.  One  complainer  went  so  far  as  to  state  a 
desire  to  attend  a  "real"  college,  to  play  "real"  football, 
that  is  "real"  fun.  The  sincerity  of  the  comment  may  be 
questionable,  but  its  content  startled  me.  1  have  since 
been  reconsidering  my  own  altitude  towards  Hawaiian 
flagball. 

Though  Hawaiian  flagball  may  be  played  by  coconut 
grove  rules,  il  does  contain  all  elements  of  real  football 
(passing,  receiving,  running)  except  for  physical  con- 
tact (spearing,  clipping,  chop-blocks,  canning  the 


center,  head  slapping,  separating  the  ball.  etc.).  The 
twist  is  the  three  offensive  exchanges  per  down.  Now 
this  lakes  some  getting  used  to,  but  once  you  get  the  | 
feel  for  things  it  really  isn't  too  difficult  tc 
The  lack  of  physical  contact  has.  howev^.  e 
one  factor  of  realism — the  injuries. 

In  the  30  or  more  games  of  Hawaiian  flagball  I'v. 
watched,  the  only  casualties  I  witnessed  were  an  ocea 
sional  "pigskin  facial"  and  several  ripped  pairs  o 
shorts.  Recollecting  my  senior  year  of  academy.  1  | 
remember  broken  arms,  sprained  knees,  bruised  ri 
and  several  scuffles  in  a  measly  eight-game  seas 
Boy.  was  that  fun!? 

My  first  year  here  at  Southem  I  was  crestfallen  upon  I 
the  discovery  that  we  were  going  to  play  Hawaiian  I 
flagball.  I  participated  simply  for  the  lack  of  a  better  I 
aliemaiive.  Despite  my  reservations  and  doubts, ' 
mid-season  I  was  actually  enjoying  this  south-si 
version  of  football.  For  light-weighl  IQ's  thai  might  | 
miss  the  epiphany  of  this  article,  it  i: 
who  have  in  the  past  or  are  presently  disgruntled  with  I 
Hawaiian  fiagball  might  just  need  ic 
open  minded.  Allow  me  to  use  the  old  saying.  "Try  il,  | 
you  might  like  it!" 

Those  who  tuned  in  to  read  about  your  favorite  local  I 
nagball  team,  please  forgive  me  for  subjecting  you  lo  I 
a  poisoned  pen,  but  I  have  been  inspired  to  address  | 
those  dissenting  souls  among  us.  Next  issue  1  promise  |

Religion  retreat  held  at  Indian  Creek  Camp 


By  Donald  Shurt 

The  Sludcm  Ministerial  Associalion's 
Religion  Rcceal  was  held  al  Indian 
Creek  Camp  last  weekend,  Thepresen- 
laiions  by  Elder  John  Fowler,  a 
raccoon's  visit,  and  Sabbalh  recreation 
highlighted  the  outing. 

The  Friday  evening  message,  "The 
Pastor  and  Spirituality,"  reminded  reli- 
gion majors  that  "spirituality  is  the  tap 
root  of  the  minister's  power"  and  "the 
church  hungers  for  truths  that  made  this 

But  students  apparently  were  not  the 
only  ones  who  were  inspired.  A  "com- 
mando coon"  interrupted  the  meeting 
by  sneaking  in  the  open  door  and  sprint- 
ing to  the  front  of  the  chapel.  Fowler 
quickly  won  back  the  audience's  atten- 
tion, however,  by  cornering  the  little 
beast  and  adeptly  scooping  it  up.  The 
hltle  critter  endeared  itself  to  all  by 
climbing  on  the  preacher's  shoulder  and 
licking  his  ear. 

On  Sabbath  morning  Fowler  said, 
"Religion  cannot  be  related  only  by 

show  members  ways  to  deal  with  the 
crises  of  every  day." 

After  lunch  in  the  new  cafeteria,  sone 
students  canoed  across  the  lake  where 
they  climbed  a  mountain  while  others 
look  a  pontoon  boat  ride  or  just  relaxed

In  the  final  meeting  on  Sabbath  after- 
noon, E'owler  stressed  the  importance  of 
the  Bible.  Twice  he  said,  "The  ministry 
of  God's  word  is  the  most  imporunt 
thing  happening  on  Planet  Earth,  more 
imponani  than  what  is  happening  in  the 
highest  levels  of  government  in 
Moscow  or  Washington."  He  quoted 
Ellen  While,  "The  creative  power  that 
called  the  worid  into  existence  is  in  the 
word  of  God."

The  day  Wise  Old  Owl  learned  a  lesson 


By  Gordon  Bietz 

For  many  years  in  Fenton  Forest,  all  of  the  forest 
inhabitants  had  attended  weekly  council  sessions 
to  be  instructed  in  the  proper  ways  of  forest  life. 
But  it  seemed  to  Wise  Old  Owl  that  there  were  not 
any  changes  in  the  forest. 

Wise  Old  Owl  observed  ihai  not  only  were  there 
no  changes  in  the  lives  of  the  forest  folk,  but  ihey 
were  not  paying  aitenlion  during  these  weekly 
sessions.  Many  slept  or  were  using  the  time  for 
sharing  Fenton  Forest  news. 

Wise  Old  Owl  usually  spent  a  lot  of  time  prepar- 
ing his  talks.  There  were  those  who  said  they 
enjoyed  what  he  had  to  say,  but  he  had  this  nagging 
suspicion  they  were  just  being  nice. 

He  decided  to  experiment.  One  week  he  pulled 
a  story  out  of  a  very  old  Fenlon  Forest  Digest  and 
just  read  it.  It  was  a  tear  jerking  story  but  really 
didn't  give  much  new  information  about  anything. 
Freddy  the  Fox  told  him  il  was  the  best  talk  he  had 
heard  in  a  long  time. 

Another  week  he  put  together  a  lot  of  instruc- 
tions from  the  Fenton  Forest  manual  and  strung 
them  together  with  a  few  quotations.  He  shouted 
a  lot  during  that  talk.  After  the  service,  Ben  and 
Gruf  the  Bear  as  well  as  Opie  Opossum  said  he 
.said  some  things  that  had  needed  saying  for  a  long 

Wise  Old  Owl  decided  to  be  scientific,  so  he 
passed  out  a  survey  one  week  afterlhe  meeting  (to 
see  how  much  was  remembered  about  what  he  had 
said).  Crabby  Crow,  who  heard  he  was  going  to  do 
Ihis.  tried  to  discourage  him.  "You  won't  like 
what  you  find  out!"  he  wamed. 

Wise  Old  Owl  went  ahead  and  did  the  survey, 
and  it  was  true.  He  didn't  like  what  he  found  out. 
Most  of  the  folk  in  the  forest  couldn't  remember 
from  one  week  to  the  next  what  he  had  talked 
about.  The  week  prior  toihe  survey  he  had  spoken 


about  the  importance  of  preventing  soil  erosion, 
Lightfoot  the  Deer  was  the  only  one  who  remem- 
bered the  topic  because  of  a  story  he  told  that 
tickled  Lightfoot's  funny  bone. 

If  no  one  could  remember  the  subject,  why 
should  they  bother  to  have  the  weekly  sessions  in 
the  Fenton  Forest  Council?  Wise  Old  Owl  was 
discouraged  and  began  skipping  any  preparation 
for  the  weekly  sessions.  When  he  did  that,  some 
did  began  to  notice  and  talk  went  around  that  he 
was  losing  his  touch. 

He  was  surprised  anyone  noticed  he  was  losing 
his  touch.  If  they  couldn't  remember  what  he 
talked  about  when  he  was  doing  a  good  job,  why 
did  Ihey  rememberihe  poor  ones?  He  soon  got  his 
answer  from  Scamper  the  Squirrel. 

As  he  was  slumping  discouraged-like  in  a  NtJt 
Hut  booth  early  one  morning.  Scamper  came  di- 


rectly to  him.  "Wise  Old  Owl,"  Scamper  began, 
(now  he  rarely  called  him  Wise  Old  Owl  so  Wise 
Old  Owl  knew  something  was  coming  he  should 
listen  to).  "I  am  beginning  to  remember  your 
messages  in  the  Forest  Council  and  I  want  to  tell 
you  something." 

And  with  those  remarks  Scamper  came  close  to 
Wise  Old  Owl.  "I  ate  last  week  on  Monday .  but  for 
the  life  of  me  I  can't  remember  what  it  was  I  ate. 
Now  I  probably  would  remember  if  I  had  eaten 
garbage.  The  fact  that  I  am  beginning  to  remember 
your  message  may  not  be  so  good.  You  must 
understand.  Wise  Old  Owl,"  Scamper  used  his 
name  again  for  emphasis.  "It  is  important  to  eat 
even  if  I  don't  remember  what  I  ate." 

Gordon  Bietz  is  pastor  of  the  Seventh-day  Advent- 
ist  church  in  Collegedale.

By  David  Hamilton 

Although  only  lOSC  students  went  on 
last  summer's  study  lour  of  the  Euro- 
one  yet,  says  Vice  Resident  of  Student 
Services   Dr.   William   Wohlers,   the 

The  group  was  composed  of  seven 
girls  and  three  guys.  "This  was  our 
second  smallest  group."  said  Wohlers. 
"It  was  the  best  group  we've  had.  All 
were  interested,  cooperative,  and  got 
along  unusually  well.  They  had  a  leam- 

group.  We  were  one  big.  happy  family." 
The  smallest  group  since  the  study 
tours  began  had  nine  students.  It  was  Ihe 
tour  of  England  in  1987.  There  are 
usually  about  20  participants. 

Students  on  the  trip  this  summer  trav-

Belgium.  France,  Switzeriand,  Italy. 
Austria,  and  West  Germany.  'This  was

The  European  continental  summer 
study  tour  was  started  in  1982  by 
Wohlers,  who  was  then  chairman  of 
SC's  history  department-  Wohlers  has 
been  leading  the  trips  ever  since.  As 
tour  leader  and  teacher,  his  expenses  are 
paid  for. 

The  initial  plan  was  to  travel  with  a 
small  group  of  eight  to  10  history  stu- 
dents for  at  least  two  months  of  study. 
However,  a  small  group  of  history  stu- 
dents traveling  abroad  is  not  very  eco- 
nomical, says  Wohlers.  Allowing  any- 
one to  go.  adults  as  well  as  students. 
makes  the  trip  more  affordable. 

"The  part  of  the  trip  I  liked  most  was 
our  stay  in  Dilbeek,  a  suburb  of  Bnis- 
sels,"  said  Wohlers.  During  the  stu- 
dents' stay  in  Dilbeek.  they  lived  in 
houses  with  other  families  in  the  area, 
free  of  charge.    A  man  named  Alfons

on  a  bus,  one  of  them  got  pinched." 

According  to  Janet  Conley,  the  trip 
had  one  flaw.  "The  bad  pan  about  the 
trip  was  watching  Richard  Moody  and 
Dennis  Golightly  gawk  at  every  Euro- 
pean babe  that  walked  by,"  said  Conley. 
"They  might  even  flirt  if  they  had

Malgady  almost  had  her  purse  picked  by 
a  pickpocket,  but  Malgady  discovered 
the  pickpocket's  hand  in  her  purse  just 
in  time  to  save  her  money.  "She  yelled 
at  the  man."  said  Moody,  "and  the  man 
left  the  tram  cursing." 

Students  received  up  to  six  hours  of 
either  history  or  humanities  credit. 
During  the  trip,  students  were  required 
lo  study  and  outline  one  textbook  on 
western  civilization  and  another  on  an

Things  started  rolling  with  plans  for  a  new  gymnasium.  SMC

provide  a  remedy.  Enter  the  tme  "Dynamo  of  Dixie  "-the 
Committee  of  100.  In  1965,  the  PE  Center  was  completed, 
paid  for  almost  entirely  by  the  Committee,  and  qwen  to 
Southern  College.   Cost:  $375,120.

Saturday  programming  hot  issue  for  WSMC

the  change  from  light  gospel  music  to 
classical  music  on  Saturday  was  not 
made  until  1984  when  the  Southern

change  the  format.  The  board  felt

who  enjoy  classical  music  during  the

Life  from  the  perspective  of  a  piece  of  clay 


By  Werner  Stavenhagen 

It  was  dark.  Murky.  Slicky.  Slimy.  I 
was  literally  al  the  bottom  of  ihe  barrel. 
Being  clay  in  a  storage  barrel  was  like 
being  a  human  without  purpose.  Iknew 
Someone  had  made  me  a  substance,  but 
1  didn't  know  1  could  be  a  piece  of 
pottery.  Actually.  I  was  comfortable. 

Then  came  Gentle  Hands,  I  didn't 
know  Him  by  that  name  then.  Who  did 
He  think  He  was.  reaching  down  into  the 
barrel  and  grabbing  me? 

He  carried  me  lo  a  table  and  began 
kneading  me.  Back  and  forth  He  rolled 
me.  pressing  me  between  His  palms  and 
the  table.  He  squeezed  me,  folded  me, 
rolled  me  in  a  ball  and  patted  me.  I  felt 
worn.  Why  did  I  have  to  be  stretched? 
Why  the  pain?  Didn't  fellow  batches  of 
clay  tell  me  it  was  good  enough  to  be  in 
the  ■■Christian"  storage  barrel? 

But  I  didn't  know  what  He  was  mak- 
ing me  to  be.  Gentle  Hands  couldn't 
mold  me  on  the  pottery  wheel  until  I  was 
thoroughly  kneaded.  The  air  pockets  of 
relying  on  my  own  security  needed  to  be 
worked  out  before  I  could  be  useful. 

Splai.  My  belly  met  the  steel  wheel 
head  on.  1  started  spinning.  My  center 
of  gravity  was  off.  I  felt  lost  I  was  a  fat 
lump  of  glorified  mud  on  a  cold  metal 
plate  whirling  in  circles  at  roller  coaster 
speed.  Something  was  wrong. 

But  then  I  felt  the  water.  With  a 
squeeze  of  a  sponge.  Gentle  Hands 
doused  me  with  cooling  moisture.  Ifelt 


relieved.  Though  1  was  worn  from 
kneading  and  dizzy  from  spinning  off 
center,  I  knew  Gentle  Hands  was  work- 
ing on  me. 

His  touch.  To  feel  the  gentle  pressure 
of  His  palms  against  my  now  moist  sides 
was  pure  exhilaration!  His  palms 
smoothly  pressed  out  my  chunks.  He 
centered  me.  Now  I  could  handle  the 
speed  of  the  poner's  wheel  because  I 
was  perfectly  balanced. 


Slowly  He  pressed  His  fingers  with 
peneiradon  mio  my  heart  He  opened 
me  up.  1  was  overwhelmed.  He  not  only 
doused  me  with  water  while  I  was  still 
an  unworthy  blob,  but  centered  me  on 
His  wheel  and  opened  up  my  hean. 

I  was  open.  But  I  was  still  squat.  My 
walls  wereahalf  inch  thick.  Iwastoofal 
to  be  used  and  I  needed  further  stretch- 
ing. He  touched  my  base  with  His  wet, 
soft  hands.  His  fingers  from  both  hands 


patience  He  gingerly  pulled  me  up.  My 
walls  grew  tall.  Again  and  again  He 
pulled  me  up.  As  I  rose  I  noticed  that  He 
was  also  shaping  me  at  the  same  time.  1 
gained  curves,  thinned  out,  and  became 
sleek.  I  was  becoming  beautiful. 

Finally  the  spinning  stopped.  1 
thought  I  was  done.  But  the  firing  was 
ahead.  After  I  dried  out.  He  look  me  off 
the  shelf  and  put  me  in  a  big  round 
container  lined  with  stone  plates.  He 
clo.sed  the  lid  above  me  and  ii  was  pitch 
dark.  1  got  scared.  Could  it  be  I  was 
returning  to  the  storage  barrel?  Would 
Gentle  Hands  ever  touch  me  again? 

My  walls  became  loasiy.  I  began  to 
panic.  Fiery  heat  penetrated  meablazed 
dirough  my  walls.  I  started  doubling 
how  die  Potter  had  made  me.  Were  my 
walls  thick  enough  not  lo  crack  from  ihe 
heat?  All  I  could  do  was  remember  He 
had  allowed  me  in  this  furnace  so  the  ihe 
firing  had  to  have  purpose.  His  hands 
would  save  me. 

And  they  did.  His  fingers  excitedly 
stretched  wide  to  grab  me  at  my  base. 
He  pulled  me  out  of  the  kiln  and  held  me 
high.  I  sensed  His  joy  as  He  ran  his 
finger  along  my  lip.  With  a  glaze  and 
another  firing.  I  was  complete. 
Now  He  uses  me

Campout  held  in  Tellico  Mountain  Range 


Ten  S.C.  students  and  two  faculty  members 
spent  last  weekend  in  Ihe  mountains  of  the  Tellico 
Range  on  the  CARE  fall  campout.  They  talked 
around  the  campfire.  hiked  many  miles,  and 
gained  spiritual  insight  and  revitalization. 

Some  of  the  campers  left  Friday  morning,  found 
a  campsite  about  1 00  miles  from  Collegedale  and 
enjoyed  the  breathtaking  views  that  the  Tellico 
Wildlife  Management  Area  affords.  The  others 
arrived  in  time  to  spend  Ihe  evening  singing  w  ith 
Mike  Kim's  guitar  and  Shannon  Bom's  ukulele 
That  night  a  wild  boar  was  spotted  snooping 
around  the  camp. 

Gunfire  ushered  in  Sabbath  morning  as  hunters 
in  the  area  made  sure  everyone  knew  it  was  the 
first  day  of  open  musket  season. 

After  breakfast,  the  four  girls,  six  guys  and 
faculty  sponsors,  Mark  and  Jayne  Antone,  decided 
to  climb  the  mountain  to  Bob's  Bald.  They  drove 
to  the  trail  head,  successfully  dodging  boulders 
and  churning  through  mud  holes  to  assault  the 
summit  by  foot. 

A  worship  service  was  held  on  the  grass  at  the

lop.  The  introduction  lo  the  book  "Thoughts  From 
ihcMountorBlessing"and  then  the  Sermon  on  the 
Mount  (Matt.  5-7)  were  read  and  discussed.  The 
group  knelt  in  a  circle  and  held  hands  for  prayer.

Peel  went  on  to  say  that  people  seem  to 
disagree  with  things  that  don't  fulfill 
needs  in  their  personal  religious  experi- 
ence. He  adds  that  we  shouldn't  fool 
ourselves  by  believing  diat  playing 
"Sabbath"  music  for  Adventists  is  evan- 

According  lo  Peel,  the  General  Con- 
ference was  and  is  taking  a  look  at  the 
methods  radio  stations  should  use  to 
reach  the  secular  mind.  Radio  is  be- 
lieved 10  have  a  good  chance  of  reaching 
the  secular  community  because  at  pres- 
ent, the  church  is  having  a  difficult  time 
reaching  them.  "The  self-sufficient 
person  believes  he  is  'okay'  and  doesn't 
need  any  help  from  God."  commented 
Peel.  This  type  of  person,  intelligent 
and  somewhat  knowledgeable  in  the 
ms,  is  likely  to  listen  lo  a  classical 
music  station  such  as  WSMC.   "Right 

station  in  over  a  100-mile  radius...we 

[if  we  were  a  gospel  station]," 

"Dan  Matthews  (Christian  Lifestyle 
Magazine)  once  told  me  that  Adventists 
believe  themselves  lo  have  a  higher 
sense  of  spiritual  things  and  deeper 
sense  of  religion  than  Ihe  average  per- 
son." recalled  Peel.  Matthews  went  on 
to  challenge  the  idea  that  Adventists 
look  for  only  religious  programs  while 
looking  through  a  TV-Guide.  "How." 
said  Matthews,  "can  we  expect  people

Peel  has  been  asked  what  gow 
have  the  secular  audience  if  r 
programs  are  not  played.  He  s: 
gious  programs  are  played  throughout  I 
the  Sabbath  hours,  and  are  programmed  | 
similarly  to  the  regular  weekly  formal. 
■This  formal  is  consistent  with  the 
weekly  format-  People  who  listen  to  us 
know  that  there  will  be  talk  programs  6- 

Saturday.   the  church  service  begins 

Peel  did  cite  1 1  hours  of  specific  reli- 
gious programs  that  run  from  sundown 
Friday  to  sundown  Saturday.  One  such 
program.  "Music  of  Inspiration."  is  a 
classical  music  program  wiUi  religious 
commentary  by  Dr.  Bruce  Ashton.  The 
commentaries  are  short  enough  that  the 
lisiener  will  continue  to  listen,  knowing 
that  music  will  soon  follow.

ground  for  church  people  going  into  the 
community,  "We

"It's  ihe  beginning  of  ourcareer,"  said 
Melissa  LaPone. 

The  program  was  coordinated  by  six 
members  of  the  nursing  class,  said 
Dorothy  Hooper,  nursing  instructor. 
The  whole  class  prepared  for  ihe  cere- 


mony for  about  six  weeks. 

"The  hardest  pan  was  finding  lime 
the  kids  to  practice,"  said  Hooper. 

"Everything  worked  togeih 
smoothly."  said  LaShawn  Powell,  nu

The  program  consisted  of  three  musi- 
cal pieces  performed  by  nursing  stu- 
denis  and  a  short  address  to  ihe  nursing 
siudenis  by  Doug  Martin. 

His  talk,  cnliiled  "Two  Caps."  told 
how  there  arc  all  kinds  of  nurses  in  this 
worid  ministering  under  other  caps-

There  will  always  be  a  work  for

A  change  of  menu 

Flaws  in  our  China 


Ruby  Tuesday's  restaurant  on  a  Thursday  night. 
Leaded-glass  lampshades,  ceiling  fans,  and  old  pic- 
tures on  the  walls.   Atmosphere.  The  stage  is  set. 

A  young  couple  enters,  chooses  the  nonsmoking 
section,  and  orders  vegetarian.  The  blonde  waitress 
from  Lee  College  (says  so  on  her  sweatshirt)  smiles 
pleasantly  and  brings  their  drinks.  "Areyoustudents 
at  Southern  College?"  she  asks. 

Appearance,  conversation,  and  actions.  Clues. 
Somehow  she  guessed. 

The  scene  changes.  Same  location  45  minutes 
later. 

The  couple  is  almost  finished  eating  and  the  guy 
looks  at  the  check  briefly.  Several  numbers.  There, 
the  subtotal  is  just  over  $15.  He  places  two  worn 
tens  on  the  tray  with  the  check.  The  waitress  says 
she'll  be  back  with  change. 

She  returns.  "I  thought  I  owed  you  some  change, 
but  the  bill  came  out  even,"  she  says. 

Appearances.  What's  happening?  Even  Tennes- 
see tax  doesn't  inflate  a  $15  tab  to  $20.  The  guy 
thinks  the  waitress  from  Lee  College  has  just  in- 
vented a  new  30-percent  TIP  bracket — he's  wrong. 
The  couple  leaves  the  restaurant  abruptly  and  the 
curtain  drops.   Do  you  know  what  happened? 

The  tab  was  actually  just  over  $20  with  desserts 
added  in.  The  guy  misread  it. 
.  Happens  everyday.  We  judge  without  all  the  facts. 
It's  bad-enough  that  we  come  to  erroneous  conclu- 
sions, but  the  greatest  harm  is  that  we've  thought  ill 
of  our  fellow  man.   (See  Matthew  7.)

Dr.  Elaine  Giddings  was  the  newspa-

of  novice  reporters  who  would  publish  a 
newspaper  representative  of  the  "School

Finally.  Dr.  Daniel  Walther.  the  first 
academic  dean,  suggested,  "Why  not

I  was  appointed  the  first  editor,  and  1 5

Sundays  trying  lo  cover  Ihe  events  ihai 
took  place  on  our  large  campus  of  about 
300  sludcnis. 

The  Acct;iil  was  published  twice  each 
month  in  those  days.  1  remember  that  it 
took  13  issues  before  I  had  a  paper  ihai 
entirely  pleased  Miss  Giddings.  She  was 
strict  and  demanded  thai  we  use  good 
newspaper  fonn  and  correct  grammar 
and  usage  in  our  copy.  She  brought  me 
abox  of  Whitman's  chocolates  when  our 
"successful"  paper  came  out.  I  still  have 
Ihe  note  she  attached  to  it:  "Thanks  for  a

Miss  Giddings  was  responsible  for

Profile :    Mike    Butler 


By  David  Lee 

■"I  feel  one  should  never  be  satisfied 
wjih  one's  self,  but  always  strive  to  be 
belter,"  says  Mike  Butler,  a  contract 
teacher  of  the  Southern  College  art 
department. 

Butler,  who  was  bom  in  Chat- 
lanooga,  is  currenlly  teaching  a  mom- 
ingseclionofDesignl.  "I  am  learning 
more  from  my  Job  teaching  art  than  my 
students  are,"  said  Butler.  "1  get  ex- 
cited when  a  student  has  a  new  idea — 
a  sparkle  in  the  eye." 

Although  "doodling"  in  high  school 
was  a  stepping  stone  to  his  career,  il 
was  going  to  college  that  gave  Butler  a 
whole  new  perspectiveof  an.  He  says, 
"Ibeganloleam  the  boundaries  of  an. 


and  its  discipline  as  well  as  its  infinitc- 
ness."  Butler  attended  three  years  at 
the  University  of  Tennessee  in  Chat- 
tanooga and  finished  his  Bachelor  of 
Fine  Arts  degree  at  the  University  of 
Tennessee  at  Knoxville. 

There  are  two  goals  Butler  has  set 
for  himself.  The  first  is  lo  become 
more  potent  in  his  expression,  and  the 
other  is  lo  give  his  students  a  chance  lo 
be  prood  of  iheir  work  and  them- 
selves. He  says,  "I  try  lo  gel  the  best 
out  of  each  student." 

Sutler  is  presently  a  full-lime 
graphic  designer  for  Croxall  Associ- 
ates Advertising  Agency,  located 
Chattanooga,  and  is  also  a  pan-time 
husband.

1938  made  up  the  largest  class  in 
Souihem  Junior  College  history  up 

How  young  we  look  in  "The  Tri- 
angle"! Aslturnbackafewpageslo 
look  at  the  pictures  of  our  beloved 
faculty,  somehow  even  they  look 
young.  How  my  viewpoint  has 
changed  in  50  years!  Maude  Jones 
appears  young  as  I  look  ai  hcrpicture 

Today,  members  of  the  class  of '38 
have  grandchildren  attending  col- 
lege or  already  graduated.  Some  of 
us  have  grandchildren  who  have 
married — some  of  us  even  have 
great-grandchildren.  The  records 
show  that  eight  of  the  class  are  dead. 
Time  quickly  flies  by  and  changes 

Physical  changes  during  the  last  50 
years  have  affected  not  only  ihe  class

of  '38.  but  the  campus  as  well. 
Probably  all  of  these  have  been  for 
Ihe  better. 
The  present  girls'  dorm  now  stands 


about  where  the  dairy  was  50  years 
ago.  Where  the  campus  shopping 
center  is  loday,  I  remember  a  com 
field.  MilianReiberwasareal  whiz- 
bang  at  culling  silage!  The  new 
church  and  gym  is  located  where,  50 
years  ago,  poialoes  and  watemnclons 
grew. 

Last  year  I  visited  the  new  broom 
shop,  quite  different  from  the  broom 
shop  down  the  hill  from  the  old  girls" 
dorm  and  dining  room  where  I 
stitched  new  brooms.  The  old  ho- 
siery mill  is  gone  now,  replaced  by 
the  college  press.  We  didn't  have 
McKee's  Bakery  or  the  cabinet 
shop,  but  there  seemed  to  be  plenty 
of  work  foreveryone  who  wanted  ii. 
Fifty  years  ago  the  slaff,  headed  by 
President  J.C.  Thompson,  totaled  3 1 
(including  all  industrial  superinten- 
dents). Bui  if  we  didn't  have  quan- 
tity, we  certainly  did  have  quality. 
We  knew  we  could  go  to  any  one  of 
them  for  counsel  or  encouragement. 
Harold  Miller  had  his  heyday  in 
music.  Eva  Maude  Wilson  not  only 
supplied  us  with  good  wholesome 
meals,  but  was  our  friend  as  well. 
We  all  loved  her.  And  who  can 
forget  Dayton  Foley's  cinnamon 
buns  even  after  all  ihese  years. 

We  rejoice  in  ihe  changes  that  have 
been  made  on  the  college  campus 
over  the  last  50  years.  Southem 
College  has  become  an  outstanding 
educational  insliiulion.  As  my  mind 
goes  back  lo  the  little  Southem  Jun- 
ior College  on  Ihe  hill,  how  thankful 
I  am  I  was  a  part  of  that  school  and  of 
the  class  of  1938. 


As  1  recall., 


Outlawed  jeans,  the  praying  hands  statue, 
school  spirit  made  1978  a  year  to  remember 


ByVinllaSauder 

1978  was  a  landmark  year  for  the  dress 
code  ai  Souihem.  For  the  first  lime  in 
Ihe  college's  history,  women  could 
wear  pants  to  classcsl  But  jeans  were 
stilltaboo.  We  could  only  wear  jeans  on 
Sunday  and  after  7  p.m.  on  weekdays. 
Guys  were  admonished  to  wear  nice 
slacks  with  "appropriate"  shirts  or 
sweaters— no  T-shirts  or  sweatshirts. 

'78  was  also  die  year  Bill  and  Evonnc 
Richards  arrived  on  campus.  JereWebb 
came  lo  be  pastor  of  the  Collegedalc 
Church,  and  Earl  Evans  came  to  be  the 

The  Thatcher  Hall  annex  was  com-

allowing  the  giris  living  in  old  Jones

was  closed  until  about  Thanksgiving 
because  they  were  knocking  down  pan 
of  the  mountain  lo  build  a  safer  entrance 
road.  The  old  road  had  some  sharp, 
dangerous  curves  in  it.  Until  the  road 
was  completed,  we  used  back  roads  to 
get  in  and  oui  of  Collegedale. 

In  1978,  the  road  we  called  Wright 
Hall  Circle  (now  Taylor  Circle)  was 
made  one-way.  And  administration  was 
deciding  how  ihey  were  going  to  raise 
the  money  to  build  the  new  Fine  Ans 
Complex  (now  Brock  Hall  and  Mabel 
Wood  Hall).  Plans  were  just  being 
made  lo  buy  die  new  church  organ,  also. 

The  Scholarship  Endowment  Fund 
began  that  year,  a  sundial  was  installed 
near  Thatcher,  and  nimors  of  putting  in 
a  nice,  scenic  walkway  from  the  library 
10  the  new  buildings  (now  the  campus 
promenade)  permeated  the  campus. 

The  controversy  about  the  25-fool 
praying  hands  siatue  (now  wrapped  in 
black  plastic  behind  Brock  Hall)  was 
hoi  in  197S.  Uiters  lo  the  ediior  in  the

six  of  Ihe  lasi  seven  games. 

According  lo  Lambeth,  the  key  to  his  win  was  a 
combination  of  his  consistency  and  Thompson  s 
unforced  errors. 

Both  players' styles  mirror  each  other.  But  each 
chose  a  different  strategy.  Thompson  stayed  on

Ceremonies  for  the  n

About  40  unidentifiable  students 
were  judged   in    Four   categories: 

n  Bam  Party' Monday     Halloween. Impersonations, Things, 

night,  says  Young  Mi  Kwon,  social     and  Groups.  Each  group  got  a  S25 
vice  president  of  the  S.A.  first  place  prize,  a  $15  second  place 

"The  program  was  successful  because  everyone  was 
very  willing  to  come  to  the  cafeteria  and  just  have  fun.  It 
took  a  lot  of  people  to  move  the  Barn  Party."         -Kwon 


"The  program  was  successful  be- 
ause  everyone  was  very  willing  to 
ome  to  the  cafeteria  and  just  have 
fun,"  said  Kwon.  "It  took  a  lot  of 
people  to  move  the  Bam  Party." 

The  annual  event  began  with  the 
singing  of  folk  songs  while  students 
munched  on  donuts  and  drank  hot 
chocolate  or  hot  apple  cider.  Ap- 
I  proximately  300  students  attended 


prize,  and  a  $10  third  place  pnze. 
One  grand  prize  of  $50  was  given  lo 
the  best  costume  over  all. 

One  by  one,  students  walked  down 
an  aisle  to  the  front  of  the  cafeteria 
and  paraded  before  a  panel  of  Judges 
according  to  what  category  each  was

the  church  lady,  in  a  thunder  of  ap- 
plause, won  first  place.  Michael 
Dukakis  stole  second  and  the  steroid- 
laden  Ben  Johnson  took  third. 

In  the  "Things"  category,  an  S.C. 
identification  card  won  firstplace.  A 
dice,  with  a  cute  pair  of  legs,  took 
second.    A  black  bird  flew  in  for 

In  the  last  category,  "Group."  the 
cast  from  the  Wizard  of  Oz  won  first 
place,  a  pair  of  salt  and  pepper  shak- 
ers came  in  second,  and  a  father  with 
iwopunk  kids  look  third. 

The  grand  prize  winner,  a  President 
Sahly  impersonator,  waved  and 
smiled  to  the  student  body  as  he  re- 
ceived his  prize.  Ignoring  student 
pleas  for  a  speech,  he  continued  to

A^  we  prepare 
day  on  November  8.  the  role  of 
Adveniisis  in  politics  is  spoi- 
lighted.  Many  push  for  large 
voter  lum-ouLs,  encouraging 
■j]]  of  us  to  vole.  We  are  urged 
10  take  an  aeiive  part  in  political 

The  current  presidential  cam- 
paign is  recognized  by  many  as 
one  of  the  most  negative  in 
American  hislory.  It  has  pro- 
duced anger,  mud-slinging, 
and  division-  These  are  not  ihe 
fruits  of  a  Spirit-filled  Chris- 
tian life.  (See  Gal.  5:22, 23.) 

What  guidelines  assist  the 
Advenlist  Christian  regarding 
political  issues?  Look  at  ihe 
way  Jesus  reacted  to  ihe  politi- 
cal scene  in  His  day.  Although 
govemmem  was  comapt  when 
He  was  here  on  earth.  Jesus 
never  interfered  with  the  politi- 
cal powers  in  existence.  He 
was  not  indifferent  lo  the  plight 
of  the  oppressed,  but  He  knew 
true  reform  came  not  through 


mained  aloof  from  earthly 
govemmenis."  (DA  509. 

We   believe  all 
should  carefully  read  the  coun- 
sel Ellen  While  gave  regarding 
political    issues   before    they 
vote.  She      discusses 

extensively  the  Adventist  po- 
litical role  in  Gospel  Workers, 
pp.  391-396,  and  Fundamen- 
tals of  Christian  Education,  pp. 
475-484.  Her  paraphrased 
counsel  appears  below. 

We  cannot  safely  take  pan  in 
pohlical  plans.  It  is  not  right 
for  us  to  vole  for  or  with  a 
political  party.  Bydoing  so,  we 
become  "partakers  with  them 

while  in  office."  The  Lord 
would  have  us  bury  political 
questions.  On  these  themes, 
silence  is  eloquence.  "Let  po- 
litical questions  alone." 

It  is  not  wrong  to  associate 
with  unconverted  people,  but 
we  should  noi  align  ourselves

attend  media 
convention 


By  Debbie  Clark 

Eight  students  from  Southern 
College's  journalism  deparlment  at- 
lended  a  national  college  media  conven- 
[jon  in  Atlanta  last  week.  They  were 
among  !  .400  delegates  at  the  four-day 
onveniion.  sponsored  by  the  Associ- 
[ed  Collegiate  Press  and  College  Media 


"The  thing  that  was  most 
I  helpful  to  me  was  learning 
f  how  to  best  market  myself  to 
a  potential  employer." 

-Vollberg 

More  than  200  learning  sessions  cov- 
lered  all  aspects  of  student  media — 
lewspaper,  yearbook,  magazine,  pho- 
liography,  business,  advertising,  tech- 
nology, press  law,  and  broadcasting, 
ions,  according  to  junior  public 
.  major  Lisa  Vollberg,  were 
Iboth  helpful  and  enjoyable.  "The  thing 
■as  most  helpful  to  me  was  learning 
o  best  market  myself  to  a  potential 
I  employer,"  said  Vollberg. 

Three  SC  seniors  took  advantage  of 
the  convention's  fifth  annual  job  fair. 
■  Student  delegates  interested  in  newspa- 
I  per  and  other  print  media  internships  or

cruiters  from  major  and

I  ford.  He  added,  "I'd  never  been  inter- 
viewed by  such  important  people,  so  it 
was  an  exciting  experience." 

Jimmy  Carter,  39th  president  of  the 
U.S.  and  former  Georgia  stale  senator 
and  governor,  held  a  town  meeting  press 
I  conference  for  the  assembled  delegates. 
After  some  brief  remarks.  Carter  look 
questions  from  students. 

In  view  of  the  upcoming  presidential 
election.  Carter's  political  observations 
had  special  news  worth  for  the  student 
press.  Jim  Huenergardt,  senior  photo 
journalism  major,  was  impressed  with 
Carter's  delivery  at  the  press  confer- 
ence. "Carter  was  very  knowledgeable 
and  answered  ihe  questions  with  ease. 
He  struck  me  as  friendly  and  informed," 
said  Huenergardt. 

The  field  trip  to  ihe  convention  was 
planned  and  sponsored  by  Ron  Smith, 
assistant  professor  of  journalism. 

Smith  said  two  highlights  forhim  were 
having  SC  students  arrange  inlerviews 
with  major  media  publications  and  at- 
tending the  press  conference  Jimmy 
Carter  spoke  at.

McArlhur:  America  has  enjoyed  a  revival  of  pros- 
perity and  naiional  pride  and  a  lowenng  of  inflaiion. 
Why  Uien  should  the  public  lum  oul  ihe  Republicans  in 
favor  of  a  Democrat?  

'When  all  the  people  are 

f  working  together  to 
make  that  country 
strong,  the  safety  of  the 
country  is  certainly  in- 

Bledsoe  SUred. ' 

Bledsoe:  The  thing  ihai  worries  me  and  most  Demo- 
crats is  the  deficit  problem.  Most  people  are  worried 
thai  even  ihough  ihe  economy  problem  looks  good, 
eveniually  there  will  be  the  bill  lo  pay  because  of  that 
economy.  1  feel  that  Bush"s  way  of  taxing  and  lower- 
ing of  capital  gains  is  ihe  wrong  approach  because 
we're  already  owing  so  much  money. 

McArlhur:  Given  the  culbacksin  available  student 
aid,  why  would  students  support  a  Republican  admini- 

While:  Because  once  ihey  do  graduate,  there  is  a 
thriving,  prosperous  economy  to  r  e  into.  In  ihc 
previous  administration,  a  student  c^„d  go  lo  college 
by  receiving  all  kinds  of  loans,  but  once  they  gradu- 
ated, ihey  faced  an  economy  ihai  was  jusl  in  shambles. 
It's  hard  to  find  a  job,  il'shard  lo  support  a  spouse,  and 
it's  hard  lo  pay  back  the  loans. 

McArlhur:  How  would  the  particular  concerns  of 
college  students  in  regards  to  federal  grams  and  loans 
be  benefited  from  Dukakis'  administration? 

Bledsoe:  The  Democrats  are  more  interested  in 
allowing  qualified  people  go  lo  school.  The  only  way 
lo  improve  the  job  situation  is  to  have  a  college  degree. 
Even  if  the  economy  is  a  good  one  to  graduate  into,  it

government  as  helping  to  realize  that? 

Bledsoe:  The  Democratic  party  wants  all  Amen- 
cans  10  have  ihe  opportunity  to  prove  whal  they  are 
capable  of  doing,  by  making  it  through  college  and 
eniering  the  work  force.  When  all  ihe  people  are 
working  together  to  make  that  country  sirong.  the 
safely  of  Ihe  country  is  certainly  insured. 

McArthur:  Woody,  should  the  frequently-voiced 
concerns  about  Dan  Quayle  give  the  voters  second 
thoughts  about  voting  for  the  Bush  ticket? 

White:  No.  ihere  should  be  no  concern  about  the 
selection  of  Dan  Quayle.  He  has  a  sincere  dream  lo 
aliain  the  Republican  vi.sion  which  I've  already  out- 
lined. He  has  the  experience  and  the  intelligence  to 
perform  well— very  well— under  pressure.  Unlike 
Dukakis.  Bush  is  not  regressing  backward  by  picking 
a  67-year-old  man  who  represents  an  already  attained 
set  of  goals  and  dreiams  and  who  is  also  out  of  touch 
wiih  approximately  three-founhs  of  the  American 
population  in  his  age  group. 

McArthur:  Gavin,  whal  evidence  has  Michael 
Dukakis  given  thai  he  is  capable  of  marshalling  wide- 
spread support  for  his  agenda? 

Bledsoe:  I  think  thai  some  of  ihe  concerns  Dukakis 
voiced  in  Massachusetts— like  insurance  for  people- 
are  things  diat  Americans  should  pay  attention  to. 

McArthur:  Now,inaddiiion  to  the  presidential  elec- 
tion, all  435  members  of  the  House  are  up  for  re- 
election as  they  are  every  two  years.  In  our  own 
district,  we  have  an  incumbanl  running  for  re-election, 
Congresswoman  Marilyn  Lloyd,  Woody,  why  should 
a  student  here  ai  Souihem  College  vole  Congress- 


1  Lloyd  oul  of  office  in  favo 
Harold  Cokcr? 

White:  For  at  least  10  years  now.  Congresswoman 
Marilyn  Lloyd  has  been  out  of  conuct  and  out  of  touch 
with  third  district  voters.  In  her  tenure  there,  we've 
seen  a  steadily  declining  introduction  of  bills  of  icgis- 
lation.  But  even  worse,  she  has  passed  only  two  pieces 
of  legislation — one  to  name  a  federal  building  in 
Chattanooga.  I  do  not  think  she  is  representing  the 
third  district  of  Tennessee  in  the  way  she  should  be, 
Harold  Coker  is  in  touch  with  third  district  voters.  He 
wants  to  be  our  congressman  and  he  will  make  a 
Congress,  representing  the  third  district 


of 

McArthur:  Gavin,  can  you  give  some  reasons  why 
college  students  here  should  re-elecl  Marilyn  Lloyd  lo 
Congress? 

Bledsoe:  I  think  Marilyn  Lloyd  docs  work  with  the 
people  of  the  third  district.  Last  year  she  had  a  96% 
record  on  voles.  She's  been  in  for  14  years  and  the 
jobs  have  increased  in  the  third  district.  She  does  have 
the  experience  and  clout  of  a  congressperson  who's 


to  students  before  Ihe  election? 

Bledsoe:  I  ihink  thai  with  the  two  choices  we  have. 
it  jusl  depends  on  who  you  feel  will  make  you  more 
comfortable.  The  most  important  thing  is  choosing 
someone  with  one's  own  ideology. 

White:   I'd  like  to  encourage  everyone  lo  lake  an

Judas  in  the  mirror:  then,  now 


ByCreg  Daniel 

A  man  bursts  into  the  room.  His  eyes 
are  fullof  shock, guilt. and  fear.  It  seems 
as  Ihough  we  know  this  man — he  looks 
so  familiar.  He  casts  30  pieces  of  silver 
on  the  stony  floor  and  we  suddenly  real- 
ize who  this  man  is.  He  criesout.  "I  have 
belrayed  innocent  blood!  Let  Him  go!" 
This  is  Iheface  of  one  who  was  so  greedy 
he  betrayed  his  Lord.  Thisis  ihe  face  of 
one  who  was  hungry  for  money  and 
power.  This  is  Ihe  face  of  Judas  Iscariol.

A  computer  is  the  latest  experiment

Bennett,  "arrived  on  September  22." 
It  was  scheduled  to  leave  on  October

we  have  with  the  ones  InfoTrac  n

ation sheets,  with  a  voting  of  one- 


five  (one  being  agree  strongly,  and 
five  being  disagree  strongly)  the 
students  have  voted  ones,  and  a 
single  two,"  said  Bennett. 

Three  faculty  members  have  also 
commented  on  the  evaluation  sheets. 
One  put  "Buy  it— buy  more  than 
two,"  while  another  wrote,  "1  like 
it— especially  the  dedicated  keys 
andthereadyprinter."  Not  one  of  the 
faculty  members  signed  their  name, 
but  they  did  check  they  were  fac  jlty . 

The  InfoTrac  U  is  located  in  the  pe- 
riodical reading  area,  against  the 
wall  separating  it  from  the  studying 
area.  It  takes  the  average  of  5  sec- 
onds, "maybe  faster,"  says  Bennett, 
to  operate  the  InfoTrac  11.  All  a 
person  has  to  do  is  type  in  the  desired 
information,  hit  search/enter,  and 
wait  for  the  computer  to  bring  it  up  on 
the  screen.  You  can  even  prim  the 
desired  information.  The  pan  that 
takes  the  longest  is  the  searching  for 
the  periodicals  themselves,  says 
Bennett.

Parable  of  educated  hands 


Once  upon  _ 
an  institution  of  higlier  learning 
where  happy,  eager  students 
came  lo  increase  their  knowl- 
edge and  wisdom.  Al  this 
school,  life  meant  hard  study- 
ing, late  hours,  and  long 
classes,  but  most  everyone 
agreed  the  rewards  were  worth 
the  struggles. 

All  types  of  stutlents  came  to 
receive  knowledge  within  the 
school's  walls.  Some  were 
sman.  Some  were  dumb. 
Some  were  big.  Some  were 
small.  But.  the  most  obvious 
dividing  feature  were  the 
Most  students  were 
righi-handed,  although  there 
were  many  left-handed  stu- 
s  well.  There  were  also 
ambidextrous  students 
who  used  both  hands  well. 

Everyone  at  this  school 
there  were  no  fundamental  dif- 
ferences between   the   lefties 
and  the  righties.   This  was  an 
of  higher  learning.

At  this  school 


ill  feelings  between  lefties  and 
righlies...or  were  there?  Car- 
tainly  no  one  wanted  to  be 
called  a  "handisl."  Every 
right-hander  could  think  of  at 
least  one  left-handed  friend  he 
had,  which  clearly  demon- 
strated his  open-mindedness. 

And  yet,  lefties  and  righties 
often  didn't  mingle  at  this 
school.  Some  observers  cred- 
ited it  to  culture  and  back- 
ground. "Left-handers,"  they 
said,  "simply  have  a  different 
background   from   right-han- 


The  division  was  most  no- 
ticeable in  the  cafeteria.  With 
few  exceptions,  lefties  always 
sat  with  other  lefties,  and  right- 
ies always  sal  with  other  right- 
ies. The  lefties,  who  were 
greatly  outnumbered  by  the 
righties,  generally  had  two  or 
three  tables  to  themselves  on 
one  side  of  the  cafeteria. 

Students  who  could  write 
with  either  hand  were  at  home

for  all  whether  they  wanted  to 
be  right-handed  or  left-handed. 
Since  the  lefties  were  the 
m.inority  at  this  great  school, 
programs  were  instituted  to 
increase  understanding  and 
appreciation  of  the  left-handed 


culture.  Oneof  tl  .  _ 
was  called  "left-handed  hisior>' 
week."  Special  speakers  were 
brought  in  (left-handed,  of 
course)  to  give  stirring 
speeches  about  "'Hand  Unity" 
and  "The  Concept  of  Universal 
Handhood."  These  speaker: 
were  dynamic,  as  most  left-  I 
handed  preachers  are,  and  they 
drew  enthusiastic  "amens" 
from  the  lef  lies  who  sat  near  the 

Not  everyone  thought  "left-

good  idea.     Some  grumbled 
under  their  breath,  and  others  | 
wondered  why  there  wasn

wrote  letters  to  the  school  paper  | 
asking  why  the  lefties  didn't  sil

Wrong  number? 

Somehow,  the  wong  telephone 
number  was  primed  at  the  bottom  of 
theSCsiudentstatemenLforms.  The 
number  printed  belonged  to  a  room 
in  Thatcher  Hali.  The  girls  there 
knew  nothing  about  how  to  interpret 
thestaiemenis.  Student  fuiance  was 
missing  their  calls. 

So,  the  gills'  telephone  number 
was  changed  to  an  unused  number 
(corresponding  to  a  room  number 
assigned  to  a  closet  down  the  haJI), 
and  the  printed  number  was 
"mapped"  into  Student  Fmance. 

End  of  story?  Nope.  The  gitis 
were  concerned  prospective  dates 
wouldn't  be  able  to  call  them  be- 
cause of  their  strange  niraiber,  so

ready  for  an  unlisted  number.

New  computer  purchase  approved 


By  Kevin  Waite 

Soudiem  College  will  be  purchasing  a 
new  HP  3000  mainframe  computer  for 
administrative  purposes.  The  new  Se- 
nes  925  will  replace  two  aging  Series  HI 
computers  purchased  in  1977. 

John  Beckett,  computer  service  direc- 
tor, said  the  new  computer  system  is 
needed  to  handle  continued  increases  in 
administrative  processing  needs  stem- 
ming both  from  heavier  usage  and  the 
fact  more  data  are  added  every  year  in 
the  form  of  student  and  administrative 

Longer  and  longer  waits  for  computer 
data  processing  have  been  necessary 
because  of  SC's  outdated  computer, 
said  Beckett.  "Our  performance  meas- 


were  not  replaced,"  he  said. 

The  new  Series  925  will  cost 
S154.0OO,  significantly  less  than  die 
$165,000  paid  for  die  Series  in  in  1977. 
said  Beckett.  The  computer  will  be 
capable  of  "buffered  backups"  keeping 
the  system  on-line  when  data  backups 
are  made.  This  will  reduce  employee 
costs  and  downtime,  according  to  Beck- 

The  new  computer,  much  smaller  dian 
its  predecessor,  is  approximately  eight 
limes  as  fast  in  processing  user  jobs  as 
ihe  current  Series  III  systems,  said 
Beckett  The  new  system  will  also  have 
1 .5  gigabytes  of  disk  storage  space  (or 
enough  room  for  all  the  information  you 
can  cram  on  4.167  floppy  disks).  24 
megabytes  of  memory  (equivalent  of 
37.5  PC's). 64  terminal  ports,  and  a 600

Issues?  Take  McDonald.  Two  of  60- 
year-old    McDonald's    biggest   beefs 


lack  of  fiscal  responsibility  and  a  poor 
educational  system,  he  says.  McDonald 
ciled  the  increase  in  national  debt  "from 
S974  billion  to  S2.4  trillion"  during  the 
past  eight  years,  money  spent  on  build- 
ing "bigger  and  better  bombs,"  and  stu- 
dents graduating  from  the  educational 
system  who  arc  functionally  illiterate. 
To  solve  the  financial  problem, 
VcDonald  said  a  national  task  force 
made  up  of  representatives  from  all  50 
Slates  needs  to  be  established  to  assess 
the  nation's  priorities.  Only  priorities 
should  receive  funding,  he  said. 

McDonald  called  for  higher  teacher 
and  student  standards  to  increase  liter- 
acy. Students  should  "have  to  meet 
certain  standards  lo  graduate."  he  said. 
The  ability  to  get  things  done  is  one  of 
America's  greatest  strengths,  according 
to  McDonald. 

Despite  this  strength.  McDonald  finds 
"apathy  among  American  people"  and 
iheirfailure  to  "get  involved"  a  growing 
problem  for  the  nation. 

Although  the  election  is  over. 
McDonald  tells  students,  "Take  an  in- 
terest in  national  affairs.  Educated  citi- 
zens make  a  big  difference,,, our  country 
is  what  the  people  are." 

Hope  lies  with  the  people,,, where  it's 
always  been.  Without  ideas,  opinions, 
plans.  voices-people-America  would 
wither  and  blow  in  the  wind.

Southern  College's  Destiny  Drama

on  Oct.  29  during  what  natives  call  the 
"Changing  of  the  Colors"  season  in 
Gatlinburg. 

For  nearly  three  hours,  the  troupe 
performed  20-minute  series  of  street 
drama  plays  at  lO-minute  intervals. 
Crowds  ranging  from  60  to  150  gath-

Destiny  members  act  out  Christian  par- 
Using  a  minimum  of  props  and  no 
public  address  system,  the  troupe  relied

Reflections  on  a  fisherman's  pond 


By  Eric  Tanner 

A  fisherman  has  been  described  as  as 
a  jerk  on  one  end  of  a  line  waiting  for  a 
jerkontheothcrendofaline.  However, 
I  would  not  trade  the  experience  of  fish- 
ing for  anything  else  in  the  world. 

This  past  weekend,  I  went  home  lo  fish 
and  '"get  away  from  it  all."  Even  though 
1  caught  a  few  small  bass  and  perch,  I 
certainly  did  not  catch  anything  to  brag 
about  Furthermore,  a  tremendously 
strong  wind  was  blowing  directly  into 
my  face,  making  it  hard  to  control  my 
casting.  My  line  constantly  got  hung  up 
on  underwater  twigs  and  Host  approxi- 
mately six  dollars  wonh  of  tackle. 

But  all  was  nol  lost.  As  the  hours 
passed,  the  wind  slowly  calmed  down  lo 
a  gentle  breeze  and  the  sun  rapidly 
It  was 

I  got  into  a  small,  flat  bottom  fiber- 
glass boat,  paddled  across  the  pond  to  a 
spot  ihat  had  been  prosperous  in  the 


strike  my  lure. 

Frustration  built  inside  until  I  looked 
up  and  look  notice  of  my  surroundings. 
At  that  point,  an  inner  peace  filled  me 
and  all  anxiety  and  t

completely  disappeared.  1  watched  the 
sun  slowly  slip  outof  sight.  The  western 
sky  turned  a  brilliant  orange,  fading 
upward  into  light  gray  and  eventually 
into  evening's  dark  blue.  The  moon's 
reflection  shimmered  on  the  semi-still 
water  ofthe  pond,  with  planet  Mars  just 

Frog  and  bird  voices  filled  ihe  air. 
Overhead,  several  ducks  flew  by  in  a 

"V"  formation,  looking  for  their  place  to 
rest  for  the  night,  A  large  crane  passed 
just  above  the  water,  silhouetting  him- 


self against  the  horizon. 

Two  owls  called  to  eacl.  _ 
working  their  way  home  to  a  hollow  tree 
at  the  water's  edge. 

To  those  people  who  haven't  had  the 
privilege  of  enjoying  the  sport  of  fish- 
ing. I  can  assure  you  fishing  is  more  than 
the  hope  of  pulling  meat  on  the  table,  H 
is  an  outdoors  adventure  thai  relaxes 
mind  and  body,  hopefully  drawing  one 
even  closer  to  the  Creator. 

On  my  fishing  excursions.  1  have  seen 
some  of  the  most  beautiful  sunrises  and 
sunsets  Georgia  has  to  offer,  We  also 
seen  many  creatures,  ranging  from  imV

Singles  tennis 

Pollom,  Leavitt 
capture  victory 


By  Dale  La  era 

Instead  of  luminaries  the  likes  of 
Andre  Aggassi  and  Mats  Wilander,  the 
score  board  read  Joey  Pollom  and  P.J. 
Lambelh.  Three  non-paying  college 
students  staved  off  a  chilly  Sunday 
breeze  to  witness  the  final  round  of  the 
one-stop  S.C.  Pro-circuii  tour. 

Pollom  overcame  Lambeth  5-7.  fr4. 
6-4  in  a  test  of  mental  strength  and  sheer 
willpower.  Both  players  paced  the 
game  with  crisp  serves  and  volleys. 
holding  their  own  serve  for  10  straight 
games  in  the  first  set.  Al  5-5,  Lambelh 
broke  Pollom  in  the  1  lih  game  that  went 
to  deuce  four  limes— he  took  the  set  7-

over  to  the  second,  although  this  time  it 
was  in  Pollom's  favor  as  he  broke 
Lambelh  twice.  In  the  last  game. 
Pollom's  chip  shots  and  slices  drew 
Lambelh  to  the  net.  but  Lambeth  caught 
the  tape  on  a  couple  of  critical  half- 
volleys  and  drop  shots  including  one 
set-point  that  ended  the  second  set  in 
Pollom's  favor.  6-4.

Southern  volleyball  season  begins 


By  Ben  Keppler 


The  1988  volleyball  season  has  begun  at  Southern  College. 
One  hundred  forty  people  signed  up  to  play,  wi" 
them  showing  up  for  "A  league"  tryouts.  This 
highest  participation  levels  in  years. 

With  enough  players  to  field  five  "A  league"  teams  (one 

more  than  last  year),  the  skill  level  is  also  on  the  rise  says 

Danny  Hernandez,  an  "A  league"  co-captain.  "The  level  of 

y  should  be  really  high  this  year,"  he  said, 


If  all  the  players  who  signed  up  participate,  the  level  of 
competition  should  also  be  high  among  the  14  "B  league- 
teams  There  have  been  some  problems  in  prior  years  with 
players  not  showing  up  for  their  games,  but  the  Southern 
Accent  sports  reporter  expects  to  see  an  improvement  m  tnat 
respect  this  year. 

"A  league"  team  captains 

thought  they'd  finish  the  aco^v...     -  —   -  - 

predicted  they'd  finish  in:  dos  Santos  first.  Moe  second.  Im 
third,  Keppler  fourth,  and  McKenzie  fifth. 


■e  polled  to  find  o 


thought  they  grasped  victory;  they  did 
for  moment  only  to  see  it  elusively  sUp 
away.  Pollom  led  4-1  on  his  back  to 
back  service  breaks,  but  Lambeth 
started  his  rally  by  holding  his  serve  to 
make  it  4-2.  In  the  seventh  game  on 
Lambeth's  game  point,  Pollom  went  for 
a  forehand  passing  shot  he  thought  was 
a  winner.  Lambeth  called  it  out  and 
pointed  to  a  ball  mark  right  outside  the 

The  close  call  appeared  to  affect  Pol- 
lom as  Lambelh  won  the  next  game  in 
straight  points,  tying  the  games  at  four 

The  situation  looked  grim  for  Pollom 
as  he  aggravated  an  already  sore  ham- 
string pull,  lunging  for  a  shot  in  the 
comer  shortly  thereafter.  Pollom  hung 
in  there,  using  his  trademark;  accurate 
shot  placements.  Coupled  with  a  few 
miscues  from  Lambeth,  he  broke  back 
and  held  his  serve  to  end  the  set  and 
match  6-i. 

Pollom  felt  Lambeth  could  have  easily 
been  the  victor  on  another  given  day. 
"He  had  good  hustle  but  he  let  up  at 
[imes."  Pollom  said.

From  pets  to  vacuums:  advice,  answers

Pets  in  the  dorm 

Hey  Dude, 

Why  aren't  we  allowed  lo  have  pels  (other  than  fish) 
such  as  hamsters,  gcrbils.  or  even  cats  (if  they're  house 
UBined)?  If  the  students  know  ihey  will  be  held 
responsible  for  any  damage,  what's  the  problem?

and  fleas? 

Vacuum  cleaner  check  out 

Hey  Dude, 

Why  do  the  vacuum  cleaners  have  lo  be  checked  out 
ihrough  the  RA's?  Why  can't  they  be  left  in  the  hall 
like  last  year?  It's  a  real  hassle  this  way  because  my 
RA  is  hardly  ever  in  her  room  and  the  RA's  on  the 


ist  year  there  were  vacuums  on  every  hall,  bui 
luse  other  girls  from  other  halls  borrowed  the

-SlillCoughing 
Hey  Still  Coughing, 

Most  of  Ihe  vacuums  being  used  are  brand  new- 
bought  last  year.  Apparently,  they  have  been  abused 
and  misused  by  students.  Some  of  the  vacuums, 
unable  to  take  the  abuse  any  longer,  are  left  with  no 
other  choice  than  lo  throw  up  dusi  all  over  the  room. 
Treat  them  right  and  they'll  work  perfectly. 

Closed  library 

Hey  Dude, 

It  has  recently  been  brought  to  my  attention  that 
certain  people  want  ihe  Religion  Center  Library  closed 
lo  siudenls.  I  thought  that  was  why  the  library  was 
there.  I  understand  there  is  no  way  to  secure  the  books 
in  the  room.  The  school  could  hire  a  student  to  work 
as  a  librarian — that  may  solve  the  issue  and  add  an- 
other job  to  the  list  SC  offers. 

-Trying  to  Help 
Hey  Trying  lo  Help, 

The  Religion  Center  Library  has  always  been  closed 
to  students.  The  library  is  for  faculty  members  work- 
ing on  research  projects.  In  order  to  gain  access  lo  this 
library,  you  must  be  under  the  supervision  of  a  faculty 
member.  You  also  mentioned  hiring  someone  as  a  li- 
brarian. There  isn't  enough  money  in  the  budget  to 
hire  anyone.  If  there  were  more  students  using  ihis 
library,  it  might  be  necessary  to  hire  a  librarian,

iBand  members  dissatisfied 
ritii  Friends'  performance 


ByE 


vid  Hamilton 


■  Friends,  a  newly-formed  contem- 
Borary  band  composed  of  Southern 
gollege  students,  "stunk"  in  their 
performance  Saturday,  says 
Ikck  James,  one  of  the  band's  lead 
ingers. 

j"Yes,  it  stunk,"  said  James.  "On  a 
fcale  of  one  to  ten.  the  performance 
IS  a  three.  I  look  at  it  as  a  learning 
Stperience." 

(Although  there  were  several  rea- 

?  for  the  band's  poor  perform- 

_e,  the  biggest  problem  was  the 

■Ib•.^  of  keyboard  player  Marty  Fuller 


within  days  of  the  concert,  said 
James. 
"It    was    very    upsetting,"    said 

Fuller  has  been  on  citizenship  pro- 
bation for  several  weeks.  During 
election  night,  Nov.  8,  he  did  not 
check  into  the  dormitory  until  early 
the  next  morning.  Fuller  had  not 
notified  the  front  desk  or  a  dean. 
Fuller  said  he  was  working  for  the 
Harold  Coker  campaign  and  ran  into 
unexpected  problems. 

Fuller  was  banned  from  perform- 
ing in  the  Friends  concert  held  in  lies 
PE  Center  by  Dean  Ron  Qualley. 


"They  didn't  want  me  representing 
the  school  by  playing  in  the  band," 
said  Fuller.  "Bui,  they  were  only 
hurting  students  who  came  to  lis- 

However,  students  should  blame 
Fuller  if  they  did  not  enjoy  Satur- 
day's concert,  says  Qualley. 

"The  bottom  line  is  he  screwed  up 
and  disappointed  everyone,"  said 
Qualley.  "It's  not  my  problem.  It's 
his  responsibility." 

"Just  once  this  year,"  continued 
Qualley,  "I  would  like  to  have  some- 
one come  into  my  office  and  say, 
'Hey,  Dean,  I  screwed  up.'  But  it's 
always  my  fault  or  someone  else's 
fault." 

According  to  James,  the  fmal 
blame  should  not  be  on  Fuller  be- 
cause more  consideration  should 
have  been  given  to  the  band  and  all 
the  preparation  spent  on  the  concert. 
"We  should  be  blaming  the  admin- 
istrators involved  for  not  giving 
more  consideration  to  the  group," 
said  James,  "and  not  wonying  about 
their  precious  reputations." 

The  concert  opened  with  five  num- 
bers by  Southern  students  before 
Friends  began  their  program. 

Friends  performed  "Arms  of 
Love"  and  "Everywhere  I  Go"  by 
Amy  Grant,  "My  Town"  by  an  un- 
known author,  and  "Pharaoh,  Phar- 
aoh" to  the  tune  of  the  Beach  Boy's 


Rene  Nicholas  tells  Pharoali  to  'Let  my 
people  go,  mil  at  the  Friends  concert 
held  Saturday  afternoon  in  the  gym. 
"Louie,  Louie." 

Although  James  admits  that  "Phar- 
aoh, Pharaoh"  probably  would  not 
have  been  played  had  it  gone  through 
the  screening  committee,  the  song 
was  needed. 

"I  think  we  need  some  relief  on 
Sabbath  afternoon  to  say  'uuh!'  and 
wake  up,"  said  James.  "The  song  has 
a  message." 

The  Friends  band  is  made  up  of 
Kelly  Rufo,  Doug  Prait,  Gunnar 
Beccacece,  Chris  Sepulveda,  Marty 
Fuller,  and  Jack  James.  Sepulveda 
came  up  with  the  idea  of  starting  a 
band  at  the  semester's  beginning. 
The  band  is  a  sort  of  realization  of 
each  band  member's  dream,  says 
Sepulveda. 

"Each  member  had  this  dream  and 
wanted  to  do  it,"  said  Sepulveda. 


Uccenf  editor  resigns  at  semester's  end 


By  Debbie  Clark 

Kevin  Waite  submitted  his  resig- 
nation as  editor  of  the  Southern  Ac- 
cent, to  be  effective  after  the  Dec.  8 
I  Christmas  edition  of  the  student 
I  newspaper. 

"It  [the  Accent\  has  received  my 

I  priority    attention    (40-plus    hours 

ich  week)  this  semester,  but  my 

I  wife,  studies,  job  hunting,  work  in 

I  the  hospital,  house  remodeling,  and 

I  writing  deserve  more  attention  next 

semester,"  said  Waitc  in  his  letter  of 

resignation. 

Waite  did  not  run  for  the  office  of 

VSouihcrn  Accent   editor.      Former 

I  editor  Jim  Huenergardt  was  elected 


Accent  editor  by  the  student  body 
last  spring  but  quit  to  concentrate  on 
completing  his  classload.  Waite, 
who  agreed  to  be  Huenergardt's 
associate  editor,  accepted  the  posi- 
tion oi  Accent  editor  midsummer. 

"I  took  the  position  because  1  knew 
it  would  be  good  experience,"  said 
Waite,  "but  it's  harder  than  I  antici- 
pated to  do  a  good  job  on  the  paper- 
without  consistent  student  help  in 
meeting  deadlines.  Another  big 
problem  is  lack  of  administrative 
support  for  the  journalism  program 
here...it  trickles  down  in  student 
opinions  and  altitudes  about  news." 

The 5oHf/!e''''4«-e/if  will  notecase 
publication,  however  to  date  a 


placement  has  not  been  found  for  the 
position  of  editor.  A  potential  candi- 
date would  be  subject  to  approval  of 
Lhe  Student  Association  president,  a 
check  of  GPA  and  citizenship  siahjs, 
and  approval  of  the  student  senate. 

"I'm  very  disappointed  that  Kevin 
is  leaving  because  I  feel  he's  done  a 
grealjob  overall  with  the  paper.  He 
has  worked  really  hard  to  put  out  a 
good  paper,"  said  S.A.  President 
Mark  Waldrop. 

Waite  graduated  from  SC  in  De- 
cember of  1 984  with  an  A.S.  degree 
in  nursing.  He  worked  at  Diagnostic 
Hospital  as  a  registered  nurse  and 
then  returned  to  Southern  College  as 
;studentinihefallofl987. 


Last  year  Waite  interned  for  ( 
semester  with  Chattanooga  Life  and 
Leisure,  a  local  city  magazine.  His 
duties  included  copy  editing  and 
writing. 

Waite  will  graduate  this  May  with 
B.A.  degrees  in  Journalism  and 
Broadcast  Journalism.  "I  have  an 
avid  interest  in  broadcasting."  says 
Waite.  He  plans  to  pursue  a  career  in 
writing— possibly  Christian  drama 
or  news  commentaries. 

Wlien  asked  what  he  enjoyed  most 
about  working  on  the  Accent,  Waiie 
says  it  was  satisfying  to  see  the  qual- 
ity of  the  paper  increase  from  week 
to  week.  "It  was  always  a  reward  to

Assembly  credit 
indulgence  sale 


Despite  improvements  in  the  assembly  program  here 
at  Southern,  required  attendance  remains  a  major 
source  of  contention — especially  the  paternal  threat  of 
a  $25  re-registration  fee  for  the  non-compliants  among 

The  neutering  of  assemblies  by  using  a  portion  for 
"cultural"  events  and  a  portion  for  "religious"  inspira- 
tion, while  it  may  be  popular  with  some  students  and 
faculty  members,  clouds  the  issue  of  where  we're  headed 
uith  this  thing  and  why  it's  required. 

Take  a  recent  example.  Did  you  see  the  thoughtful 
addition  of  another  chapel  credit  option  in  last  week's 
Accent?  No,  your  eyes  didn't  deceive  you.  In  what  must 
certainly  be  a  most  unusual  hvist  to  the  whole  charade  of 
required  worship/assembly  attendance,  we  can  get 
credit  by  forking  over  $6  and  going  to  the  theater.  The 
"cultural"  Chades  Dickens  play  "A  Christmas  Carol"  will 
be  performed  at  the  Chattanooga  Little  Theater.  Tickets 
cost  $6  and  transportation  is  included — nice  touch. 
Small  price  to  pay  for  a  Southern  College  indulgence. 
Even  Tetzel  would  have  been  envious,  (If  you're  not  into 
Dickens  and  you  haven't  met  your  quota,  never  fear. 
You  can  always  opt  for  the  Big  Indulgence — pay  $25 
and  skip  all  assemblies.  Just  look  for  the  bill  on  your 
statement  burled  somewhere  in  the  several  thousand 
dollars'  worth  of  tuition,  room,  and  board.) 

Yes,  it's  nice  to  have  options.  The  best  one  is  free 
choice.  Students  in  their  late  teens  and  early  twenties 
should  be  quite  capable  of  deciding  where  and  how  to 
gain  cultural  education  and  spiritual  inspiration.  Wc 
suggest  our  needs  would  be  better  served  if  mandatory 
assembly  attendance  was  eliminated  and  we  were  en- 
couraged to  make  these  decisions  on  our  own.

We  have  lo  admit,  when  we 
first  heard  about  the  money 
being  spent  for  a  new  school 
sign,  we  did  not  like  it  either. 
Further  investigation  revealed 
that  the  person  who  paid  for  the 
sign  had  also  donated  thou- 
sands to  help  needy  students! 
The  sign  was  agift  to  us.  and  we 
should  accept  it  graciously.

Jan  Haluska.  English  departmenl  pro- 
fessor, is  concerned  about  sludenis'  edu- 
cation and  wants  a  policy  to  keep  stu- 
dents in  class.  "There  is  a  need  for  a 
consistent  absence  policy.., a  central 
I  clearing  housc.on  campus,"  he  said. 

Ron  Smith,  associate  professor  in  the 

I  Journalism  depanmenl.  believes  a  cen- 

j!  clearing  house  is  nol  the  best  way  to 

I  courages  absences,"  he  says. 

The  .system  in  queslion  is  Ihe  Absence 
Commilicc  consisting  of  five  members 
chosen  from  faeuliy  and  dormitory 
deans.  The  commillee  meeis  every 
Tuesday  and  is  responsible  for  approv- 
ing or  denying  all  excuse  slips. 

Recently,  there  has  been  a  movement 
10  abolish  the  commitiee  led  by  Dan 


Rozell,  Absence  Committee  chairman, 
and  Eleanor  Hanson,  director  of  Health 
Service.  Both  presented  iheir  cases  al  a 
Faculty  Senate  meeting  held  in  October. 
Rozell  says  there  are  more  important 
things  to  do  than  "putting  little  green 
stamps  on  little  pieces  of  yellow  paper. 
The  process  is  routine  and  mundane.  A 

Hanson  says  she  sees  quite  a  few  ex- 
cuse slips  conuining  medical  or  illness 
excuses  every  day.  She  marks  each  one

Johnson  tackles  position 
of  social  vice  president 


.udent  Association  has  found  a

,  a  freshman  in  pre-physical 
says  Mark  Waldrop.  SA  presi- 


"Shc's  doing  a  great  job  already."  said 
Waldrop.  "Before  she  was  voted  in 
Senaie.  she  was  so  excited  that  she  had 
already  done  the  Pep  Day  bulletin  board 
and  organized  the  SA  office.  She'sgone 
to  work  on  everything." 

Although  there  has  been  some  ques- 
tion about  Johnson's  experience  be- 
cause she  is  a  freshman,  this  fact  will 
actually  benefit  the  student  body  more 
than  hinder  Southern's  social  activities, 
sj>s  Waldrop. 

Newer  students  on  campus  often  are

She  doesn't  know  a  whole  lot  about  Ihe

Glorify  God,  encourage  people; 
Patti  talks  about  her  ministry 


By  Mike  Magursky 

When  Sandi  Patti  first  entered  college,  her 
ambition  in  life  was  lo  teach  a  high  school  music 
class.  Now.  after  nine  years  of  ministry  and  nine 
albums.  Patti  is  known  as  Ihc  voice  of  inspira- 
lional  music.  She  has  won  19  Dove  Awards,  four 
Grammy  Awards,  and  released  four  gold  albums. 
Many  Americans  first  heard  of  .Patti  when  her 
recording  of  "The  Star  Spangled  Banner"  was 
used  in  the  closing  ceremonies  of  the  1986  ABC 
"Liberty  Weekend."  Since  then,  she  hasappeared 
on  the  Tonight  Show.  ABC  World  News  Tonight, 
and  this  year's  "Walt  Disney  World's  4th  of  July 
Spectacular." 

The  Accenl  recently  interviewed  Patti  on  her 
ministry  in  contemporary  Christian  music. 

Accent:  At  what  point  did  the  Lord  make  it  clear 
to  you  that  contemporary  Christian  music  was  His 
plan  for  your  life? 

Patti:  I  never  really  dreamed  that  I'd  be  doing 
what  I'm  doing  now.  John,  my  husband,  and  I  put 
together  a  small  lour  in  California  in  1 980.  At  that 
point,  we  told  the  Lord  that  if  He  wanted  us  to 
pursue  it.  we  were  ready.  Not  long  after  that,  Bill 
Gaither  called  and  asked  if  I  would  sing  backup 
for  the  Gaither  Trio.  That  confirmed  our  calling. 
Accenl:  How  much  have  you  changed  in  your 
nine  years  of  ministry?  How  much  have  you 
stayed  the  same? 

Patti:  My  hope  is  that  I  have  become  an  even 
stronger  believer  in  what  God  can  and  will  do  if 
we  allow  Him  to  woric  in  our  lives.  I  am  more 
relaxed  in  the  studio  than  ever,  and  I  am  probably 


uiivi.is  ..."-^  ■ 1  have  definitely  become 

much  busier  as  my  family  has  almost  doubled  in 
size  since  the  birth  of  our  new  twins  almost  a  year 
ago.  I  have  stayed  the  same  in  my  mission:  my 
music  glorifies  God  and  encourages  people. 

Acce/iCYouhavesaidyourministry  is  centered 
.vound  those  who  already  know  the  Lord.  Are 
there  any  plans  to  open  new  avenues  m  your 
ministry  to  reach  those  who  do  not  already  know 
the  Lord? 

Patti;  My  very  strong  Christian  lyrics  are  appro- 
priate for  those  I  am  singing  for,  but  I  would  have 
to  soften  them  to  get  any  kind  of  secular  radio 
airplay.  That  just  isn't  something  that  I'm  willing 
to  do.  I  understand  that  my  music  isn't  accepted 
by  a  lot  of  people,  and  that's  fine.  I  used  lo  feel  that 
I  had  to  do  everything— to  minister  to  people  on 
the  street  and  reach  the  unsaved.  But  here's  where 
I  belong. 

Accent:  Some  of  the  songs  you  have  sung  are 
not  quite  "traditional"  church  music.  Songs  like 
"Someone  Up  There  Loves  Me"  and  "Shine 
Down"  are  a  little  more  contemporary  than  a  song 
like  "In  Heaven's  Eyes."  Do  you  consider  all  of 
your  music  appropriate  for  a  worship  setting? 
Why  or  why  not? 

Patti:  I  would  like  to  think  that  most  of  my 
music  can  be  used  for  a  form  of  worship.  How- 
ever, different  churches  and  denominations  have 
different  worship  formats,  some  being  more  con- 
servative and  others  less  conservative.  So,  it  is 
really  up  to  the  worship  leader  to  decided  the 
appropriateness  of  my  music  for  the  specific  set- 


Sandi  Patti 

Accent:  Are  there  any  songs  that  you  wish  you| 
had  never  recorded? 

Patti:  Not  really.  I  may  like  one  song  a  little  I 
better  than  another,  however.  There  has  always  I 
been  a  lot  of  time  and  energy  spent  choosing  a  ' 
song  before  I  record. 

Accenl:  If  I  mentioned  the  name  Sandi  Patti  to  c 
friend,  what  would  you  want  his  first  response  tc 
be? 

Patti:  I  hope  that  they  would  mention  some 
thing  to  the  effect  that  my  faith  is  firmly  planted  ir 
the  Word  of  God  and  that  my  desire  to  do  His  work  | 

Patti  is  currently  on  the  Fall  "leg"  of  her  1 
89  "Praise  Glorious"  Worid  Tour.  When  the 
portion  of  the  tour  is  completed,  she  will  havel 
performed  in  1 20  cities.  The  tour  makes  a  stop  in  I 
Chattanooga  at  the  UTC  Arena  on  Friday.  Nov.  18 1

Choices:  the  Christian  Coke,  Pepsi  challenge

Life  is  a  series  of  choices.  When

The  grounds  department  maintained

"They  [the  committee  members]  don't

"Perhaps  the  school  should  employ

Floyd  Greenleaf,  vice  president  for 
Academic  Administration,  believes  sm- 
dents  should  go  to  their  teachers  lo  ex- 
cuse absences. 

Don  Malhis,  the  dean  servmg  on  the 
commitiee,  supports  the  idea.  "I  think 
absences  should  be  more  the  teacher's 
discretion.  They  know  their  siudenis 
belter  than  Ihe  committee,"  he  said. 

But  Haluska  said  he  doesn't  have  lime 
to  talk  to  students  about  their  absences. 

Smith  agrees.  "I  don't  want  a  letter 
from  their  mother  or  their  nurse.  Those 
in  the  real  world  don't  want  to  hear  why 
you  were  absent.  They'rejustunhappy

It  was  also  more  economical  for  the 
students  since  many  balls  were  lost  in  the 
woods  and  creek.  Time  was  wasted 
looking  for  the  balls,  finding  them,  and 
walking  back  to  lee  off  again. 

The  class  only  used  the  course  to  prac- 
dee  their  chip  shot.  Evans  expressed  his 
concern  in  doing  more  saying.  "If  we 
slice  or  hook  our  drive,  somebody  could 
get  hit  on  the  track.  It  just  wasn't  safe!" 

Besides  the  driving  range,  the  class

advantages  outweigh  the  weaknesses." 
she  said.  McClarty  listed  three  advan- 

touring  groups  that  must  miss  classes 
when  they  go  on  crips  (teachers  don  t 
currendy  receive  these  lists).  Health 
Service  can  "differentiate  between  a 
student  whosteeps  in  and  says  'I'm  sick' 
and  a  student  who  is  sick,"  and  the

"The  decision  of  the  committee  repre-

allowed  that  the  Health  Service  end  ot 
the  system  can  be  "worked"  by  students 
getting  an  excuse  and  then  going  "about

Couples  find  Southern  lives  up  to  its  'rep'

"Do  you  solemnly  swear  before  God  and 
these  witnesses  that  you  will  take  this 
woman,  Kimberly  Ann  Robertson,  to  be 
your  lawfully  wedded  wife?" 

"I  do." 

"And  now,  do  you  solemnly  swear  before 
God  and  these  witnesses  that  you  will  take 
this  man,  Brian  Alan  Craig,  to  be  your  law- 
fully wedded  husband?" 

"I  do." 

"I  now  pronounce  you  man  and  wife." 

Of  all  the  major  events  in  one's  life,  mar- 
riage is  probably  the  most  significant  and 
memorable  of  them  all.  Relevant  to  nearly

Speaking  of  such.  Southern  College  is 
known  for  its  tendency  to  bond  couples  to- 
gether in  these  'commitments.'  After  all, 
SC  hasn't  been  named  "Southern  Matrimo- 
nial College"  for  nothing!  I  can  speak  from 
experience -many  of  my  friends,  including 
my  sister,  have  recently  become  engaged.

How  has  SC  contributed  to  this  'engtig.

"Todd  and  I  were  formally  introduced  in 
[he  cafeteria  at  the  beginning  of  second 
semester  our  freshman  year.  We  will  have 
been  dating  almost  two  years  in  February," 
commented  Marsharee  Johnson. 

"I  heard  of  Greg  while  I  was  at  SVA,  but 
I'd  never  met  him  until  I  asked  him  out  for 
SA  Reverse  Weekend  in  the  Fall  of  '86. 
We've  been  dating  ever  since,"  Kim  New- 
ball  reminisces. 

"Brian  and  I  met  here  at  the  SC  gym. 
We've  now  been  dating  three  and  one-half 
years."  Kim  and  Brian  are  getting  married 

"1  was  working  at  the  desk  in  the  student 
center  where  Kevin  stopped  and  introduced 
himself  to  me.  It's  been  uphill  ever  since." 
Kevin  asked  Shelley  out  for  the  banquet 
later  on  that  night. 

These  are  just  a  few  accounts  of  the  ro- 
mance kindled  here  at  Southern. 

Congratulations  to  those  listed  and  to 
those  I  may  have  missed.  Your  happiest 
and  most  rewarding  years  are  yet  to  come. 
I'm  sure  you're  all  anxiously  waiting  to 
hear  those  wedding  bells  ring!  Enjoy  the 
married  life,  and  may  the  tradition  of 
Southern  Matrimonial  College  live  on!

Unconditional  love 


By  Lisa  DiBiase 

My  first  memories  of  Dena  are  very 
hazy.  I  was  probably  no  more  than 
Four  or  maybe  five  years  old.  When  I  was 
with  Dena  I  felt  very  safe,  happy,  and  loved. 
I  She  has  known  me  since  I  emerged  into  the 
I  world,  and  has  always  been  a  very  special 
1  person  in  my  life.  Dena  is  my  mom's 
I  youngest  sister — my  aunt. 

;ually  was  able  to  see  Dena  only  on 
I  holidays  and  during  the  summer.  She  lived 
in  a  small  town  in  North  Carolina— I  was 
in  Maryland.  So,  Easter  and  Thanksgiving 
were  in  Wilmington,  N.C.;  Christmas  was 
in  Maryland.  Dena  lived  with  my  grand- 
mother, Granjuan,  in  a  beautiful  old  home 
on  the  coast. 
Christy,  my  older  sister,  and  I  would  lay 
in  bed  the  night  before  trips  to  North  Caro- 
lina, giggling  in  anticipation. 
On  every  visit  to  Dena's  house,  Christy 
I  and  I  flew  into  the  house  straight  to  "our" 
rooms,  searching  for  the  first  scavenger 
hunt  clue.  The  first  clue  gave  hints  where 
the  next  note  was.  At  each  location  we  were 
awarded  a  wonderful  little  prize — a  pack  of 
gum,  crayons,  a  coloring  book,  or  stickers. 
After  the  big  hunt,  we  snuggled  in 
Granjuan's  arms  and  jumped  all  over  Dena. 
Most  aunts  want  you  to  "act  like  a  lady." 
Thiswasnotahuge concern ofDena's.  She 
opted  for  having  fun  as  a  number  one  pri- 
ority— riding  bikes,  burping  after  a  meal, 
jumping  on  her  bed — but  she  didn't  espe- 
cially like  exaggerated  gas-passing. 

Part  of  the  fun  of  our  visits  was  that  my 
sister  and  1  were  allowed  to  go 
anywhere.. .providing  we  were  with  Dena. 
At  least  one  adventure  would  be  a  hike  to 
the  local  7-Eleven.  We  climbed  through 
shrubs,  scrounged  around  bus  stops — look- 
ing for  returnable  bottles.  By  the  time  we 
reached  our  destination,  we  usually  had 
between  400  and  $1  of  our  very  own 
"earned"  money,  which  we  spent  on 
"Archies,"  cupcakes,  or  Slurpees.    After- 


Love  came  down  at  Christmas. 
It's  an  age-old  story,  but  one 
with  special  meaning  to  a  young 
girl  and  her  sister.  For  them, 
unconditional  love  found 
expression  in  the  life  of  Dena. 


wards,  we  gleefully  told  to  our  parents  of 
our  financial  independence. 

While  all  these  things  made  Dena  a  won- 
derful friend,  unconditional  love  is  the  mam 
element  that  will  always  hold  me  close  to 

"when'l  was  little  it  would  be  a  comfort- 
ing hug  after  a  frequent  clumsy  accdenl. 
When  I  was  a  little  older  it  would  mean 
loving  me  throughout  the  gawlcy,  gangly 


-clunk"  stage.  Throughout  ray  21  years, 
Dena's  love  has  been  a  dependable,  stable, 
consistent  support  system. 

I  wish  everyone  could  have  a  Dena. 
Maybe  we  can  at  least  strive  to  be  a  Dena 
to  someone,  sometime. 

Last  week  1  received  a  letter  from  Dena. 

She  wanted  to  know  what  I  wanted  for 
Christmas.  I  wonder  what  1  should  get  for 
her? 


Christmas  toast 
to  home,  family 


Family  is  what  Christmas  is  all  about.  It  doesn't  matter 
whether  you're  a  missionary  in  Korea  or  a  student  who's 
traveled  thousands  of  miles  for  an  education  here  at 
Southern— when  this  time  of  the  year  rolls  around, 
thoughts  turn  homeward. 

Mom,  dad,  brother,  sister,  gramps  and  grams,  aunts 
and  uncles  all  seem  a  little  closer— a  little  more  real 
somehow-  It  gives  you  a  certain  feeling.  Like  the  feeling 
you  get  when  whiffing  something  good  cooking  just 
before  a  meat.  You're  hungry,  there's  food,  and  every- 
thing is  okay- 
Christmas  spawns  a  special  homesickness,  making  the 
love  circle  even  tighter  and  bringing  snippets  of  the  past 
back  to  life  once  more. 

Remember  when  you  were  a  little  kid  pressing  your 
nose  against  the  frozen  window,  trying  to  stay  awake  and 
catch  a  glimpse  of  Santa  when  he  came  to  your  house? 
You  woke  up  in  bed  and  always  wondered  if  Santa  had 
tucked  you  in. 

Remember  the  caroling,  the  blinking  lights,  popcorn 
strings,  dad  "helping"  you  trim  the  tree,  mom's  "best  in 
the  world"  pumpkin  pies,  and  wondering  what  to  get 
your  little  brother  for  Christmas  (the  one  you  always 
teased  so  unmercifully)? 

You  learned  about  Christmas  through  the  years:  how 
Santa  doesn't  really  make  home  deliveries,  what  Christ- 
mas really  stands  for,  and  how  much  a  loving  family 

It's  no  wonder  we  think  of  home  around  this  time  of  the 
year.  In  a  world  of  superficiality,  greed,  and  commercial- 
ism, there  still  are  a  few  things  left  untarnished.  Here's 
a  toast  to  Christmas,  love,  and  family.

Christmas  tree 
lit  at  Southern 


By  Valerie  Long 


II  is  cold  and  clear  out.  The  si; 
permanently  etched  in  the  night  sky. 
has  gathered  around  a  beautiful  trei 
and  proud,  with  strings  of  light 
downilssides.  Christmas  carols  drift  through 
the  crisp  air.  It's  a  perf'ect  nighlfor  sharing  the 
spirit  and  joy  of  Christinas  with  friends. 

The  sound  of  sirens,  wailing  their  way  to- 
ward campus,  pierces  the  air.  Aboard  the  fire- 
truck,  Santa  makes  his  yearly  stop  for  the  light- 
ing of  the  Christinas  tree  at  Southern  College. 
Adults  revert  to  childhood  as  they  eagerly 
fight  and  grab  for  the  candy  that  Santa  throws 
10  the  crowd.  When  the  Christmas  tree  lights 
come  on,  the  tree  glows,  filling  the  cold  night 
with  the  warmth  of  a  thousand  twinkhng 
lights.  Candles  in  the  windows  of  the  admini- 
stration building  lend  a  cozy  feeling  to  the 
evening.  The  only  thing  missing  is  snow.

WSMC's  Christmas  season  begins  the 
18th  of  December.  Programming  from 
then  until  Christmas  day  will  include  a 
variety  of  holiday  specials. 

The  Christmas  programs  officially 
begin  at  8  p.m.  on  a  Sunday  evening. 
The  station's  listeners,  says  WSMC's 
Program  Director  Gerald  Peel,  appreci- 
ate the  special  programming  during  the 
holidays.  He  says  correspondence  al- 
ways increasesduring  and  after  the  holi- 
days. "It's  important  for  us  to  be  their 
Christmas  family,"  says  Peel. 

New  Chrismias  music  will  be  played 
this  year.  "We've  got  some  really  won- 
derful things  that  have  come  in  on  com- 
pact disc  diat  are  really  going  to  be  nice 
forthe  holidays, "says  Peel.  He  believes 
everyone  enjoys  Christmas  music  and 
the  memories  it  brings.  But,  he  adds, 
"Sometimes  there  are  people  who  really 
resent  it  if  you  play  Christmas  music  loo 
early,"  He  says  you  just  have  to  "feel 
your  way"  and  decide  when  is  the  right 

Christmas  passages  from  the  Bible 
will  be  recited  by  a  young  girt  from  die 
Collegedale  area.  -"She's  memorizing 
the  passages...I  want  it  to  be  something 
thatcomesfromher," explains  Peel.  He 
says  a  child's  voice  is  special  and  can 
uniquely  captinre  a  person's  ear. 

WSMC  will  be  airing  many  different 
types  of  Christmas  programs  including 
choirs,  seasonal  readings,  and  special 
narratives  of  plays  and  holiday  memo- 
While  most  of  the  programs  are  pro-

Radio,  WSMC  will  also  be  recording  the 
annual  Candlelight  Christmas  concert  at 
MeCallie  high  school  in  Chattanooga.

fessor Ed  Lamb.    Students  in  his  one

during  the  trip. 

The  art  appreciation  group  visited  six 
museums.  Michael  Heiney  said.  "I've

the  masterpieces,  but  1  got  a  lot  more  out 
of  the  an  seeing  it  in  its  real  dimensions

Art  students  also  saw  the  New  York

For  the  big  year-end  show,  there  will

Money  has  been  invested  in  new

the  quality  of  the  show,  according  to

"Strawberry  Festival  done  by  profes-

Eye  on  the  church 

Bietz  assesses  results 
from  SDA  media  blitz 


By  C.  David  Wingate 

While  laying  back  in  your  favorite 
you  may  have  seen  the  adver- 
isements  on  television  and  exclaimed. 
Hey  Mom.  look... we're  on  TV!" 

Throughout  1987.  the  Seventh-day 
\dventist  Church  was  involved  in  the 
idvertising  campaign  "For  Kid's  Sake." 


affecting  the  quality  of  life  for  young 
people  and  their  families.  The  advertis- 
ing series  included  prime-lime  specials, 
commercial  vignettes,  campaign  image 


The  advertising  series 
included  prime-time  spe- 
cials, commercial  vi- 
gnettes, campaign  image 
announcements,  public 
service  announcements, 
and  news  stories. 

According  lo  Gordon  Bielz,  pastor  of 
the  Collegedale  Church,  local  station 
WTVC-TV9  purchased  the  marketing 
idea  from  Weslinghouse  Broadcasting 
Corporation  and  asked  area  Adventisi 
churches  to  help  sponsor  it.  Sponsorship 
and  air  lime  was  shared  wiih  the  Ameri- 
can National  Bank  and  the  local  distribu- 
tors of  TVA  Electric  Power  Board. 

'To  my  knowledge  no  other  SDA 
church  group  has  done  this  in  a  major 
metropolitan  area,"  said  Bietz. 

Messages  broadcast  to  the  Chat- 
tanooga area  included,  "It's  lime  we 
recognize  kids  for  what  they  really  are— 
The, Future."  This  slogan  accompanied 
a  30-second  '■por  Kid's  Sake"  vignette. 
Immediately  following  the  vignettes 
were  ads  for  5-Day  Stop  Smoking  Plans, 
blood  donation  diives,  community  in- 
s,  and  ads  expressing 
d  promoting  Seventh- 
the  "Caring  Church." 


Two  surveys  were  taken— one  before 
the  campaign  and  one  after — to  check 
the  impact  of  the  awareness  campaign. 

It  was  found  thai  while  65%  of  the 
people  interviewed  had  heardof  the  "For 
Kid'sSake" campaign, only  l8%recog- 
nized  the  SDA  church  as  one  of  its  spon- 
sors. Whileihiswasthehigheslpercent- 
age  recognition  among  the  three  spon- 
sors, it  appeared  the  message  of  the 
campaign  got  through,  but  not  the  con- 
nection with  Ihe  Advenlist  church. 

Most  of  those  surveyed  had  at  least 
heard  of  Adventisis  before  thecampaign 
began  so  this  left  little  room  for  expan- 
sion of  name  recognition. 

In  ihe  post-campaign  survey,  people 
reported  knowing  more  positive  aspects 
ofourchurch.  Oneareain  particular  was 
the  recognition  of  Adventisis  as  a  caring 
people-  Thisjumpedfrom7.77Din  1987 
to  28,7^^  in  1988.  Those  claiming  lo 
know  very  little  about  Seventh-day 
Adventisis  declined  from  14,4%  to 
8.3%. 

The  campaign  also  attempted  to  re- 
move misunderstandings  about  the 
Adventisi  church. 

■'We  purposely  showed  our  college 
students  donating  blood  in  one  of  the 
spots  because  of  the  community's  mis- 
conceptions about  our  views  on  blood

New  roofing,  repairs,

Completing  the  renovation  of  Lynn 
Wood  Hall  is  a  high  priority  for  the 
Committee  of  100  this  year,  bui  mem- 
bers also  voted  recently  to  contribute 
another  570,000  for  additional  work  on 
Ihe  Southern  College  campus. 

New  projects  supported  by  the  com- 
mittee include:  re-roofing  the  William 
A.  lies  Physical  Education  Center 
(525,000  allocated),  remodeling  in  the 
Conference  Center  (525,000),  and  re- 
pairing the  columns  of  Wright  Hall 
(520.000). 

Southern's  P.E.  building  was  the  com- 
mittee's first  project  in  1965.  "The 
school  desperately  needed  a  gymna- 
sium," William  H.Taylor,  SC's  Endow- 
ment Director,  said.  "The  old  Taber- 
nacle was  being  used  for  everything

dropped  (3.8%  to  0.9%). 

The  media  campaign  was  dropped  af- 
ter its  one  year  trial  period  because  of 
expense,  according  to  Bielz.  It  cost 
approximately  550.000  for  the  entire 
year.  Also,  according  to  telephone  sur- 
veys conducted  in  the  Chattanooga  area, 
"feedback  results  were  not  as  dramatic 
as  we  would  have  liked  in  terms  of  the 
public's  altitudes  toward  the  SDA

Racquetball  courts,  a  running  track,  a 
foyer,  and  new  roof  for  the  gymnasium 
have  been  added  over  the  years,  demon-

Gymnasium  addition  may  become  a  reaiity 


By  Dale  Lacra 

ow  become  a 
reality.  The  P.E.  Depanment  received 
inlormal  approval  from  adminisiraiion 
for  ihe  proposed  addilion  to  the  gymna- 
sium. The  estimated  cost  is  between 
SI20.000  and  $150,000.  Department 
Chairman  Phil  Carver  said.  "I  think  it 
will  happen  real  soon  because  we  need 
the  facility  badly." 

The  addilion  will  consist  of  two  walls 
and  a  roof  starting  at  the  end  of  the 
racquetball  courts,  forming  a  right  angle 
ai  the  eastern  comer,  then  connecting  to 
the  gym  offices  at  the  other  end.  A  new 
entrance  will  be  built  from  the  parking 
lot,  which  will  lose  less  than  1 0  spaces. 

The  8.000-square-foot  addition  will 
have  two  floors.  The  fu^t  will  perma- 
nently house  the  gymnastic  team  and 
serve  as  an  aerobic  room  with  full  length 
mirrors  and  ballet  bars.  A  Jacuzzi  and  a 
complete,  enlarged  weighiroom  will  fill

a  date  set  for  construction  after  official 
approval  is  obtained.  Garver  feels  the 
Committee  of  lOOmay  be  a  likely  source 
of  funding  for  the  gymnasium  project 
since  it  has  traditionally  taken  the  lead  in

Theadditionwillprovidea  total  fitness 
center  to  meet  student,  faculty,  and 
community  needs,  says  Garver.  The 
space  the  gymnasts  now  occupy  will  be 
used  for  year-round  volleyball,  badmin- 
ton, and  Ping-pong. 

A  larger  physiology  lab  will  finally  be 
accessible  to  elderly  community  people 
when  It  moves  from  the  cubbyhole  it 
now  occupies  to  ihecurrent  weight  room 


team  will  allow  equipment  to  last  10 
times  longer  and  save  Ihe  department 
hundreds  of  dollars  in  repair  costs,  ac- 
cording to  Garver.  The  team  could  also 
work  more  efficiently  if  not  forced  to  vie 
for  space  during  volleyball  and  basket- 
ball games  or  during  setup  for  a  sched- 
uled program. 

A  P,E,  department  survey,  taken  re- 
cently in  the  Collegedale  community, 
showed  that  approximately  50  people 
are  seriously  interested  in  an  aerobics 
program.  For  lack  of  scheduling  time, 
space,  and  privacy,  aerobics  hasn't  been 
implemented.  Garver  says  the  program 
would  generate  revenue  when  installed, 
lalso  provide  dressing 
forstage  perform- 
ers. Garver  says,  "It's  negative  PR  and 
an  inconvenience  for  people  involved 
with  Ihe  concerts  and  programs  who 
have  to  go  outside  Ithrough  the  back 
loading  dock  door]  and  around  [the  of- 
fice for  men/pool  for  women]  to  change 
and  use  the  bathroom  during  perform- 


Garveradded."An  anonymous  gentle- 
man promised  full  funding  for  a  com- 
plete library  for  the  P.E.  majors."  The 
library  would  contain  supplement  mate- 
rial to  that  in  McKee  library,  enabling 
P.E.  majors  to  do  specialized  research. 

A  kiddie  gymnastic  program  would 
also  be  set  up.  "The  facility  will  be  in  use 
all  day,"  says  Garver. 

Garver  is  confident  about  the  pending 
official  approval.  "We've  always  gotten 
strong  support  from  the  administration 
in  the  past,"  says  Garver.   "This  need

in  our  program.  The  number  of  P.E. 
majors  has  doubled  in  the  last  four 
years."  Garver  said. 

Garver  expressed  optimism  in  the 
deparunent'sfuture,  "Thequalityoflife 
will  improve  for  every  one... the  whole 
community,  faculty,  and  the  student's 
physical  and  social  life.  I'm  excited 
about  what's  happening  and  looking 
forward  to  seeing  this  facility  become  a

some  of  your  fondest  memories? 

Pierson:  I  feel  a  real  debt  lo  this  col- 
lege because  I  came  here  as  a  young 
fellow  right  of  f  ihe  football  field  and  out 
of  the  bOKing  ring.  The  Lord  used  this

Short:  What  specific  advice  would 
you  give  10  a  sludeni  who  is  serious 
about  spiritual  revitalizalion  on  this 
campus? 

Pierson:  I  hope  that  here  al  Southern 
College  young  people  can  be  the  cata- 
lyst for  real  revival  throughout  the 
church.  The  first  thing  you  can  do  is  in 
your  own  life  reveal  a  revitalized  expe- 
rience, whatJesus  has  done  foryou.  He 
can't  do  something  for  somebody  else 
through  you  unless  it's  been  manifest  in 
you  as  an  individual.  Secondly,  you  can 
panicipate  in  those  things  in  the  school 
thai  contribute  to  the  revitalizalion  of 
the  institution:  your  outreach.  There's 
work  in  the  community.  Another  thing 
today — and  this  is  of  vital  import — 
Satan  is  very  subtly  undermining  the 
foundation  principles  and  doctrines  of 
this  church.  1  would  urge  every  single 
young  person  who  really  is  a  part  of  the 


three  angels'  message  to  all  the 
this  generation"  for  a  long  time.  What 
will  make  this  generation  different  than 
previous  generations? 

Pierson:  I'm  sorry  that  we've  lost  the 
urgency  that  phrase  brought.  1  believe 
thai  we  need  lo  recover  it.  The  Bible, 
the  Spirit  of  Prophecy,  and  the  things 
thai  are  happening  in  the  world  today 
tell  us  that  the  coming  of  Jesus  is  the 
next  event,  I  think  that  the  main  thing 
for  us  as  young  people  or  old  people  is 
we  need  to  be  ready  now,  not  next  week 
ornextyear.butrightnow.  And  when- 
ever the  Lord  does  come  we're  going  to 

Short:  You've  consistently  ex- 
pressed a  confidence  in  the  triumph  of 
God's  church.  What  evidences  can  you

Pierson:  God's  Wordand  the  Spirit  of 
Prophecy,  inspiration,  and  revelation 
tell  us  those  things  that  are  going  lo  be 
taking  place  inside  the  church  and  out- 
side the  church  just  at  this  particular 
time.  We  would  be  blind  not  lo  recog- 
nize what's  happening  around  us. 

Short:  You've  served  at  every  level 
of  church  work  and,  obviously,  this  has 


Dr.  Robert  H.  Pierson 

required  many  sacrifLCCs.  What  have 
been  your  greatest  rewards? 

Pierson:  The  greatest  re  ward  that  I'  ve 
had  through  the  years  has  been  having  a 
place  in  God's  work  and  being  part  of  a 
movement  I  believe  is  God's  move- 
way  this  message  has  gone.  So  the 
greatestjobl've  had  is  losee  the  bless- 
ing of  Ihe  Lord  upon  His  program. 
We're  just  beginning  now  as  compared 
to  what  it's  going  to  be  in  the  days 
ahead.  I  believe. 

Short:  What  would  your  challenge  be 
for  the  students  and  faculty  here? 

Pierson:  My  challenge  would  be  the 
same  that  it's  been  the  last  60  years. 
Let's  get  on  with  the  commission  that 
the  Lord  has  given  to  us.  His  commis- 
sion still  stands  the  same  as  it  did  when 
I  staned  in  the  work  and  was  young  here 
at  Southern  Junior  College,    It's  the 

means  first  go  right  where  you  are — 
witness  right  here  on  campus,  and  sec- 
ondly do  all  you  can  off  campus  in  your 
outreach  to  let  your  light  shine  and  to 
share  your  faith.  Most  of  all,  live  like 
you  want  lo  be  living  when  Jesus  comes. 


Jesus   the    Jew 

He  gave 
Hisjjfe 

By  Jack   Blanco 

I  n  recent  years  Jewish  scholars 
-■-have  openly  admired  Jesus  the 
Jew.    Not  only  do  they  accept  Him 

whom  ihcy  should  listen  to,  but  also 
as  possibly  being  the  Messiah.  Such 
scholarly  sentiments  are  most  pro- 
nounced in  Israel  and  in  the  United 
Slates,  where  Jews  have  attained 
control  over  their  own  destiny  and 
have  found  a  greater  acceptance  by 
Christians. 

Professor  Geza  Vermes  of  Oxford 
University,  in  his  paper  on  'Jesus 
the  Jew,"  contrasts  the  medieval 
Jewish  portrait  of  Jesus  as  an  apos- 
tate with  the  nineteenth  century 
acceptance  of  Jesus  as  a  great  teacher 
of  ethics.  Then  he  gives  his  own 
opinion  and  portrays  Jesus  as  an 
unsurpassed  master  of  laying  bare 
the  inmost  core  of  spiritual  truth  and 
of  bringing  every  issue  back  to  the 
essence  of  religion  and  man's  re- 
lationship to  God. 

David  Flusser,  professor  of  reli- 
gious history  at  Hebrew  University 
in  Jerusalem  and  a  Biblical  archae- 
ologist, goes  even  further  than 
Vermes  and  says  he  doubts  that  many

The  calm  serenity  of  Ihe  Garden  of  Prayer  is  shattered

He's  thrown  to  Ihe  ground.  His  arms  wrenched  behind

How  federal  income  taxes  affect  you 


By  Kimberly  Arellano 

For  many  taxpayers, 
of  financial  reappraisal.  Thi 
is  designed  to  make  you, 
taxpayer,  aware  of  how 
affect  you,  your  personal  tax  choices  for 
the  1988  lax  year,  and  of  how  your  ac- 
tions will  affect  your  federal  income  tax 
liabiliiyfortheyear. 


y  dependents. 


The  use  of  exemptions  in  (he  lax  sys- 
tem is  based  in  part  on  the  concept  thai  a 
taxpayer  with  a  small  amount  if  income 
should  beexempi  from  income  taxation. 
Every  individual  taxpayer  is  allowed  an 
exemption  that  frees  a  specified  amount 


of  in 


le  from  lax.  In  1! 


1,950. 


it  file  a 


come  have  been  received.  The  general 
rule  is  that  a  tax  return  is  required  for 
every  individual  who  has  taxable  in- 
come that  equals  or  exceeds  the  sum  of 
the  exemption  amount  plus  the  appli- 
cable standard  deduction. 

For  example,  a  single  taxpayer  who  is 
a  student  and  under  age  65  must  file  a  tax 
return  In  1988  if  gross  income  equals  or 
I  exceeds  $4,950  (SI .950  exemption  plus 
S3,000  standard  deduction). 

Even  if  you  are  not  required  to  file  a 
reium  but  had  tax  withheld  from  your 
pay,  you  need  to  file  a  return  to  obtain  a 
refund  for  the  federal  tax  withheld. 


le  exceptions  si 

aiiu  tciiain  employee  benefits, 
general  rule  is  that  any  transacuuu  t»i 
event  that  increases  your  wealth, 
whether  in  cash  or  other  property,  is 
gross  income. 

Examples  of  items  that  a  student  would 
include  in  gross  income  are  wages  from 
a  job  and  interest  earned  at  the  credit 
union  on  his  checking  account. 

Before  February  1,  1989,  you  should 
receive  a  siatemenl  (W-2)  from  your 
g  your   1988  gross 
X  withheld. 


TAX  TIP:  Here  is  one  area  in  which 
students  have  a  tax  planning  choice  to 

Tlie  lax  law  stales  that  a  taxpayer  can- 
not take  an  exemption/or  himself  if  he  is 
claimed  as  a  dependent  on  another  tax- 
More  than  likely,  your  parents  can 
claim  you  on  their  tax  return  as  a  de- 
pendent. You  must  meet  the  test  of  a  de- 
pendent (yourparents  provide  over  one- 
half  of  your  support,  you  are  a  child  or 
stepchild  of  your  parents,  you  are  in 
school  fiill-lime  for  five  months  of  the 
year,  you  did  not  file  a  joint  return  with 
a  spouse  except  to  obtain  the  same  re- 
fund as  if  you  had  filed  married  filing 
separately,  and  you  are  a  U.S.  citizen). 
If  you.  the  student,  have  a  taxable 
gross  income  of  S3. 000  or  less,  it  is  wiser 
to  allow  yourparents  to  claim  your  ex- 
emption amount.  You  will  ftave  no  tax 
liability  and  your  parents  can  reduce 
their  taxable  income  by  $1 .950.  Even  if 
you  earn  more  than  $3,000.  you  are 
more  than  likely  in  a  lower  tax  bracket 
than  your  parents.  You  should  still  allow 
them  your  exemption. 

If  byallowingthemuseofyour  exemp- 
tion, your  lax  liability  increases  because 
your  gross  income  is  more  than  $3,000 
(and  even  then  your  tax  liability  will  only 
increase  by  a  maximum  of  $293  which  ii 
15%  of  $1,950).  make  arrangements  for 


The  standard  deduction  is  a  specified 
amount  set  by  Congress  and  is  depend- 
ent on  the  filing  status  of  the  taxpayer.  In 
the  past,  Congress  has  attempted  to  set 
the  tax-free  amount  represented  by  the 
standard  deduction  approximately  to  an 
estimated  poverty  level,  but  it  has  not 
always  been  consistent  in  doing  so.  The 
standard  deduction  in  1988  for  a  single 
taxpayer  under  65  years  of  age  and  not 
blind  is  S3,000. 

The  standard  deduction  is  compared  to 


1.  Your  filing  si 

2.  You  do  note 

3.  You  are  not  t 

4.  Your  taxable  income  is  less  than 
$50,000, 

5.  You  had  only  wages,  salaries,  and 
tips,  and  your  taxable  interest  was  $400 

You  may  obtain  (he  form  by  receiving 
it  in  the  mail  from  the  IRS  around  Ihe 
firstof  theyear.  oryoucan  pick  it  up  at 


r  of  ii 


r  the 


standard  deduction.  Students  whose 
itemized  deductions  are  less  than  the 
standard  deduction  will  use  the  standard 
deduction  rather  than  itemizing. 

Example:  Student  A,  who  is  single,  has 
total  itemized deductionsof  S650(repre- 
sentedbyiitheofS400and  the  allowable 
portion  of  her  car  loan  interest  of  $250). 
Student  A's  standard  deduction  is 
$3,000  for  1988.  Student  A  will  com- 
pute her  taxable  income  for  1988  using 
the  standard  deduction  of  $3,000  since  it 
exceeds  her  itemized  deductions  of 
5650, 

TAX  TIP:  If  your  itemized  deductions 
approximately  equal  the  standard  de- 
duction inmostyears, you  could  signifi- 
cantly reduce  your  taxes  over  the  long- 
term  by  arranging  to  have  most  of  your 
itemized  expenses  fall  in  alternate  years. 
This  strategy,  known  as  "bunching," 
produces  tax  savings  from  itemizing  in 
the  years  when  your  expenses  are 
bunched.  In  the  off  years,  you  are  able  to 
use  the  standard  deduction  as  before  but 
with  fewer  unusable  deductions. 


You  compute  your  tax  liability  by 
starling  with  your  gross  income,  subtract 
your  personal  exemplion  and  standard 
deduction  and  you  get  your  taxable  in- 
come. You  then  use  the  tax  tables  to 
compute  your  tax  liability. 

Example:  Student  B  earns  S3,600  from 
his  part-time  job  al  Vegiburgers-R-Us, 
His  tithe  Is  $360  and  his  car  interest  is 
$500.  Snident  B's  father  will  claim 
Student  Bon  his  return,  StudentB'stax

TAX  TIP:  Another  tool  students  liave 
for  tax  planning  is  the  ability  to  plan 
Iheirrefund.  WhenyoufileyourW^  em- 
ployees withholding  allowance  certifi- 
cate with  your  employer,  single  students 
have  the  option  of  claiming  zero.  one.  or 
nvo  allowances  (if  you  have  only  one 
job).  You  may  also  have  no  withholding 
if  you  had  no  tax  liability  in  19SS  and 


This  still  benefits  yourparents  because

Stan  Hobbs,  dean  of  men,  along  with 
his  fellow  student,  Alex  Lian,  ap- 
proached Ben  McAnhur  with  the  idea  of 
an  SC  College  Bowl  in  1983.  Mc  Arthur 
was  favorable  to  the  idea,  and  the  first 
College  Bowl  was  held  that  school  year. 

Hobbs  said, 'The  best  players  are  the 
people  who  are  not  just  good  students, 
but  wtio  are  willing  to  put  their  reputa- 
tion on  the  line  and  miss  questions."  He

fir^i  player  should  be  a  history  major, 
because  history  covers  important  people 
and  events  in  lime  from  religion,  poli- 
tics and  science  to  geographic  changes 
and'  current  events.  The  next  player 
should  be  a  science  major  with  wide 
knowledge  in  biology,  chemistry,  phys- 
ics andmadi.  Thethirdplayershouldbe 
an  English  major  with  emphasis  on  lit- 
erature and  grammar,  including  a  back- 
ground in  the  fine  arts.  The  fourth 
member  can  be  any  major,  but  must 
possess  a  fortitudal  intellect  ranging 
from  business  to  sports  to  current  events.

We  could  all  learn 
by  reviewing  our 
kindergarten  days 


You're  never  too  old  to  leam.  Every  truly  wise  person  will 
admit  that  no  matter  how  much  you  experience,  there  are 
always  more  lessons  and  surprises  ahead.  Learning  is  impor- 
tant, but  it  isn't  everything.  There  is  something  else  at  least 
as  important  as  learning:  remembering. 

We,  seasoned  college  students,  have  become  so  caught  up 
in  learning  that  we  often  forget  the  fundamentals.  Think  back 
toyour  kindergarten  days.  Practically  every  principleyou ever 
needed  to  know  was  introduced  in  kindergarten.  Wisdom 
wasn't  fourxl  in  complicated,  intellectual  textbooks.  Instead, 
it  was  in  the  sandbox  at  nursery  school. 

We  learned  to  get  along  with  everybody.  To  put  things  back 
in  their  places.  To  share  all  the  toys.  To  say  sony  for  hurting 
somebody.  To  play  fair.  To  laugh  and  sing  aiKl  paint  and 
create  and  work  a  little  every  day. 

We  learned  to  take  a  nap  everyday  after  lunch.  We  learned 
not  to  take  things  tfiat  don't  belong  to  us.  To  live  a  balanced 
life.  To  wash  the  hands  before  eating.  To  watch  for  traffic 
before  crossing  a  street.  To  be  silent  when  someone  else  is 
talking.  To  be  aware  of  wonder. 

Remember  saying  your  first  memory  verse.  Mom  was  so 
proud  when  she  heard  it.  Somewhere  in  kindergarten  was 
found  everything  you  needed  to  know.  Think  what  a  better 
worid  it  wodd  be  if  everyone  had  a  half-hour  recess  at  11 
o'dock  and  a  nap  after  lunch.  Or  if  there  was  a  world-wkle 
policy  that  everybody  put  things  back  where  they  belong  and 
everybody  cleans  up  their  own  messes. 

AtkJ,  no  matter  how  old  you  are,  when  you  go  outside  it  is 
best  to  hoW  hands  and  stick  together.

open-minded  people  of  South- 
ern College. 

Ever  since  first  grade  it's 
be«n  pounded  into  our  minds 
not  to  be  associated  with  alco- 
hol, movies,  smoking,  or  sen. 

No.  partying  isn't  good  for 
your  body  or  mind,  but  for 
awhile  it's  fun.  Never  kid  your- 
self. 

Luckily,  my  parents  raised 
me  with  enough  sense  to  do  my 
own  thinking,  and  I  slopped 
partying  before  any  serious 
damage  was  done.  When  I  at- 
tended my  first  party  I  knew 
what  I  was  getting  into.  I'm

Nursing  ttiat  first  hangover  on 
the  floor  of  the  shower,  asking 
myself  how  1  could  Ik  so  stupid 
to  drink  so  much,  was  a  slap  in 
the  face.    1  was  sick  for  two 

It  was  a  real  experience,  I 
don't  list  hangovers  with  my 
len  favorite  things  to  do  on  a 
Sunday  morning.  Lying  there 
with  an  empty  stomach  and  a 
serious  case  of  the  spinners,  my 
mmd  finally  started  to  clear.  I 
began  to  realize  that  my  old 
diiitude  of  "People  who  party 


even  those  who  party 


are  going  to  hell"  had  long  been 

rotting  away  at  my  spiritual  life.

hatred  for  people  who  were 
corrupting  my  good  friends — 
started  to  fade  away.  Over  the 
next  few  months  I  was  filled 
with  a  new  love  for  people,  a 
love  I  found  to  be  refireshing.

Wohlers  says  Student  Services 
is  puzzling  piece  in  Wright  Hall 


By  Jim  King 

Lack  of  information  about  Student 
Services  creates  a  misunderstanding  of 
the  depanmenl,  says  Vice  President  of 
Student  Services  William  Wohlers. 

When  asked  about  the  function  of  the 
depanmenl,  students  often  give  blank 
stares.  Some  see  the  department  primar- 
ily as  disciplinarian. 

Wohlers  says  .some  of  the  ambiguity 
surrounding  the  department  arises  from 
a  combination  of  things.  For  example, 
the  average  student  probably  doesn't 
understand  the  workings  of  ihe  admini- 
stration, which  makes  Student  Services 
just  another  piece  of  the  puzzle  lost  in 
Wright  Hall.  He  agrees  that  a  handbook 
explainingthedepartment  would  benefit 
students  who  are  concerned,  but  is  not 
sure  when  or  if  such  a  handbook  will  be 
published.

exfjerience  before  becoming  editor  and 
didn't  want  10  drop  lo  a  class  load  of  nine 
hour^,  which  she  felt  woiild  be  necessary 
to  be  a  good  editor. 
Now  Clark  is  taking  a  three-hour  di-

encouragemeni  from  Mark  Waldrop. 
S.A.  President;  Kevin  Waite,  formerAc- 
cent  editor;  and  Ron  Smith,  assistant 
professor  of  journalism,  gave  her  the 
boost  to  accept  the  paper's  position, 
according  to  Clark. 

Also,  because  the  Southern  Accent 
will  be  coming  out  every  two  weeks 
instead  of  weekly,  there  is  more  time  to 
prepare  for  each  issue,  said  Claik. 

Clark  also  said  that  before  making  her 
final  decision,  she  found  a  staff  she  felt 
would  be  committed  to  putting  out  a 
quality  paper. 

"Although  there  are  no  senior  journal- 
ism students  on  the  paper.  I  feel  I  have  a 


reliable  staff,"  said  Clark,  "Without 
their  enthusiasm  and  committment,  we 
wouldn't  have  a  paper  today,"  she  adds. 

Before  Clark  came  to  Southern  Col- 
lege, she  worked  as  layout  assistant,  as 
assistant  editor,  and  as  editor  of  the  Bass 
Memorial  Academy  yearbook.  She  also 
reported  for  the  academy's  newspaper, 
the  Nutcracker,  for  two  years. 

Widi  her  added  experience  last  semes- 
ter as  the  Acfcnf' J  assistant  editor,  Clark 
feels  this  year's  paper  will  be  great. 

"I  think  the  paper  is  going  to  be  a  lot 
more  student  orientated,"  said  Clark. 
"We  are  dedicated  to  drawing  from  a 
larger  percentage  of  the  student  body 
and  making  it  the  student's  paper,  not 
just  the  stafTs  paper." 


Profile:  Lydia  Rose 


By  Kim  Thedford 

Lydia  Rose,  a  woman  who  loves 
challenges  and  enjoys  a  fast-paced 
life,  is  a  dean  of  women  at  Southern 
College.  She  says  she  hasn't  been 
bored  yet. 

Rose  has  various  responsibilities. 
She's  in  charge  of  Ihe  dorm  mailroom, 
lakes  care  of  the  worship  petitions,  and 
makes  sure  all  of  the  girls  get  cards  on 
their  birthdays.  She's  also  a  sponsor  of 
SC's  Beta  Kappa  Tau.  an  organization 
for  black  students.  But  she  says  that 
most  of  all  she's  a  confidant.  "!  have 
a  lot  of  arms.  To  some  I  am  a  mother 
and  to  others  I  am  a  sister.  Some  girls 

says  Rose. 

Rose  attended  Oakwood  College  in

Rose  initially  took  a  position  in  the 
public  relations  department  here.  But 
as  lime  passed,  she  realized  she  needed 
a  change.  Widi  support  from  her  hus- 
band and  her  mother,  she  accepted  the 
position  of  assistant  dean  suggested  by 
Jeanne  Davis. 

"I  suggested  that  Lydia  put  in  her  res-

Older  dorm  students 
lose  special  privileges 


By  Kim  Thedford 

Students  23  years  of  age  and  older  are 
no  longer  automatically  given  Ihe  privi- 
leges of  having  a  later  curfew  and  being 
excused  from  dorm  worships. 

This  summer  the  deans  of  Thatcher 

privilege  from  their  handbooks,  Sharon 
Engel,  head  dean  of  Thatcher  Hall,  said, 
"We  decided  that  both  dorms  should 

In  previous  years  only  the  women's 
dorm  had  the  privileges,  but  that  has 
t)een  changed  to  achieve  unity  between 
the  dorms.  Dean  Engel  said  seniors  and 

and  higher  are  allowed  a  one-hour  later 
curfew,  but  all  students  are  required  to 
attend  worship. 

William  Wohlers,  director  of  Student 
Services,  said  thai  he  was  not  directly 
involved  in  the  decision  made  by  both 
dorms.  "I  do  feel  that  diere  are  other 
ways  students  can  receive  the  pnvilege. 


and  that  is  by  maintaining  aGPA  of  3.25. 
This  gives  the  students  incentive  to  get 
good  grades." 

"I  think  the  rule  is  rediculous."  said 
Ann  Owen,  a  graduating  senior  who  is 
25,  "Onceyou'rethatageyouknowwhal 
your  priorities  are,  I  think  this  [rule)  is 
only  trying  to  make  grown  people  into 
children  again." 

However,  Freshman  Oi\da  Flaquel 
diinks  the  new  rules  arc  consistent,  if  not 
fair,  "I  feel  like  we  are  all  mamre  college 
smdents  and  if  we  can't  all  have  the 
privilege,  then  none  of  us  should," 

Ron  Qualley.  dean  of  men,  said. 
"There's  not  a  whole  lot  to  do  after  12 
o'clock  without  gening  into  trouble." 
But  he  brings  out  a  point  from  the  Spirit 
of  Prophesy  on  the  subject:  that  older 
kids  should  be  treated  differently  from 
younger  ones.  "This  is  important  for 
everyone,  and  maybe  the  deans  should

Most  SC  students 
dread  dorm  curfew 


By  Nikki  Villain 

Itis  1 1:10pm  on  die  campus  of  South- 
ern College.  You  hear  die  screeching  of 
lires  as  a  caravan  of  cars  come  peeling 
into  Taylor  Circle.  S.Cstudentsfi^lic- 
ally  park  their  car?  (not  necessarily  in 
Uicir  assigned  parking  spaces,  but  in 
which  ever  one  is  closest)  and  dien  make 
a  mad  dash  toward  their  respective 
dorms.  The  reason:  CURFEW! 

On  Sunday  dim  Thursday  die  curfew 
for  bodi  Talge  and  Tliaicher  halls  is  1 1 
pm.  On  Friday  it  is  10  pm  and  on 
Saturday,  midnight  However,  die  stu- 
dents are  allowed  a  fifteen  minute  "grace 
period"  after  curfew. 

As  dreadful  as  a  curf^ew  may  sound, 
there  are  ways  of  beating  the  system. 
Sophomores,  juniors,  and  seniors  with  a 
grade  point  average  of  3.25  or  above  are 
allowed  to  stay  out  an  extra  hour  past 
curfew  every  night  except  Friday  or  Sat- 


urday. This  rule  does  not  apply  to  fresh- 
men. Also,  four-year  seniors  are  auto- 
matically allowed  an  extra  hour,  regard- 
less of  their  GPA. 

As  with  all  rules.  Uiere  is  a  penalty  if 
curfew  is  missed.  The  students  are  al- 

violations,  A  major  violation  is  coming 
in  one  hour  past  curfew,  whereas  a  minor 
violation  is  coming  in  one-half  hour  past 
curfew.  Should  a  student  receive  a  major 
violation,  or  three  minor  violations,  he  or 
she  will  be  put  on  Citizenship  Probation, 
C.P.  is  "the  strongest  possible  reminder, 
shon  of  suspension,  of  your  responsibili- 
ties toaitcnd  worships  and  show  for  night

Library  saves 
$1,500  on  books 

By  Taminy  Wokolt 


Head  librarian  hopes  for  $16,200 
in  refund  for  bad  catalog  system 


By  Tammy  WoIcoH 

McKee  Library  is  looking  for  a  new 
computer  system  to  replace  Sidney, 
which  has  served  the  library  since  April 
1987.  Sidney  can't  handle  the  library's 
85.000  book  records  and  it  takes  be- 
tween 30  seconds  and  30  minutes  when 
searching,  accoiding  lo  Peggy  Bennett, 
the  Head  Librarian. 

Bennett  is  hoping  lo  get  a  $16,200 
refund  from  Sidney  to  buy  a  better  sys- 
tem. Brian  Foley,  vice  president  of  the 
company  which  manufactures  Sidney, 
apologized  for  its  inaccurate  estimate 
that  the  computer  could  handle  the 
85,000  records  which  McKee  Library 


stores.  He  told  Bennett,  "If  we  can't 
improve  your  response  time  wc  will 
refund  your  money." 

Sidney,  called  the  "Mercedes  of  Sys- 
tems." was  selected  after  a  thorough 
research  by  the  librarians,  said  Bennett. 
It  is  used  for  searching  subjects,  titles. 
and  authors.  Sidney  is  connected  to  an 
IBM/AT  compatible  computer  with  a 
hard  disk  drive  of  350  megabytes,  ca- 
pable of  containing  200,000  titles.  Its 
three  terminals  are  on  the  main  floor  of 
the  library,  near  the  reference  room  and 
circulation  desk. 

Many  students  have  been  frustrated  by 
Sidney'sslow searching.  EricTanner.a 


senior  Public  Relations  major,  said,  "I 
don't  like  it.  It's  too  slow  and  too  vague. 
They  need  Infotrac  back  so  they  can 
throw  this  thing  into  the  depths  of  the 

Some  promising  new  systems  are 
Mediflex.  Computer  Assistant  Library 
Information  Co.  Inc..  and  Calico  Lion. 

"Mediflex  isnow  on  our  file  server,  but 
is  not  accessible  to  students.  It  gives  the 
library  staff  a  chance  to  see  where  the 
system's  problems  are,"  said  Bennett 

A  visiting  Mediflex  representative 
loaded  75,000  records  into  his  system  in 
one-half  hour.  "It  look  us  weeks  to  do 
the  same  thing."  said  Bennett

Kenya  Magee  disagrees.  She  said,  "I

I  looked  in  bewilderment  al  my 
leacher.  How  on  earth  did  he  arrive  at 
thai  answer?  Maih  had  never  been 
easy  for  me  and  today  was  no  excep- 
tion. Mr.  Walker  siood  at  the  chalk- 
board with  dust  on  his  black  pants, 
trying  to  explain  how  x  -t-y  could  equal 
10.  I  was  in  my  assigned  chair,  two 
rows  back,  four  chairs  from  the  door. 

The  bell  rang.  Anotherday  of  inter- 
mediate algebra  was  finally  over.  As  I 
walked  from  the  hot,  stale  room,  it  felt 
good  to  be  able  to  breathe  in  fresh  air 
from  outside,  I  headed  toward  my 
ready  for  my  next  ap- 


pointment: chapel.  1  looked  around  the 
campus  to  see  if  I  could  spot  a  familiar 
face.  But  I  saw  only  the  campus  couple 
and  a  group  of  guys  who  neverdated  and 
never  had  the  approval  of  the  faculty.  I 
quickly  ran  to  my  room  to  grab  my 
history  book  and  then  headed  for  chapel 
in  the  church. 

The  walk  there  wasalonely  one.  Iiwas 
about  three  minutes  until  chapel  was  to 
begin  and  everyone  was  either  at  the 
door  or  already  inside.  I  rushed  to  make 
sure  I  would  get  there  in  lime  lo  receive 
the  chapel  credit  I  so  desperately  needed. 

Inside  ihechurch,  I  carefully  selected  a 
seat  close  enough  to  the  door  so  I  could 
leave  ahead  of  the  crowd.  As  chapel 
started.  I  settled  down  into  the  pew's 
cushion  and  pulled  out  my  history  notes. 
1  really  needed  a  good  grade  on  the  quiz 
I'd  have  in  two  days,  so  I  studied  every 
spare  moment.  Before  I  knew  it,  Eh. 
Arnold  was  having  the  benediction  and 
the  rows  were  being  dismissed.  I  walked 
past  the  speaker,  automatically  telling 


him  I  had  enjoyed  the  service,  and 
headed  for  my  religion  class. 

Religion  was  one  class  1  could  not 
stand.  It  was  in  the  middle  of  my  day  and 
I  had  to  miss  lunch  for  it.  Besides,  I  heard 
the  same  things  there  that  I  had  been 
hearing  since  elementary  school.  Isatin 
my  assigned  seat  near  the  front  of  the 
class.  Today  Elder  Bench  had  a  person- 
ality test  for  us  to  take  which  would  give 
him  an  idea  of  our  religious  affiliation. 
Bored,  I  decided  this  would  be  a  good 
time  to  Stan  working  on  my  algebra 

Religion  ended — not  soon  enough — 
and  I  was  off  to  work  at  the  music  build- 
ing. Myjob  was  very  simple.  I  checked 
in  students  whocame  to  practice  voiceor 
aninsUumenL  lenjoyed  my  job  because 
it  gave  me  time  lo  study  without  people 
bothering  me.askingaquestion,  or  prob- 
ing into  my  life.  After  three  hours  of 
history,  algebra,  and  religion,  I  was 
ready  for  supper  and  a  warm  dormitory 


Jt  of  II 


My 

as  usual.  An  array  of  books,  clothes! 
and  left-over  candy  wrappers  gave  (he 
room  a  messy  but  relaxed  appearance 
Just  as  I  had  gotten  deep  into  my  study 
of  ancienLcivilizations.  time  came  for 
evening  worship.  I  crawled  grudg- 
ingly  out  from  under  my  warm  quili 
and  followed  the  others  to  theetemally 
cold  worship  room.  There  I  sat  shiver- 
ing, concentrating  on  keeping  waim 
and  thinking  of  what  I  would  wear  the 
next  day.  Dean  Rubben  ended  her  10- 
minute  talk  with  a  prayer,  and  I  headed 
for  the  warmth  andprivacy  of  my 

Sleep  hit  me  hard  and  it  seemed  that 
jusi  a  few  moments  later  I  was  awak- 
ened  by  the  sound  of  my  roommate 
hitting  the  alarm  clock  with  her  pillow. 

I  carefully  selected  my  clothes,  dis- 
carding the  ones  I  had  picked  out  the 
nightbefore.  Thirtyminuieslaterlslid 
into  my  assigned  seat,  two  rows  back, 
four  chairs  from  the  door. 


A  case  of  neglect 

Talge  showers  clean  ceiling 
rather  than  dorm  residents 


% 


The  ceilings  in  the  Talge  Hal!  commu- 
nity showers  are  the  cleanest  ceilings 
anywhere  on  campus.  This  is  because  at 
least  half  of  the  showers  spray  water 
directly  upward  instead  of  downward. 

It's  very  simple  to  realize  that  the  more 
water  there  is  washing  the  ceiling,  the 
less  there  is  to  wash  the  dorm  resident's 
hair,  amipits,  and  so  on.  This  is  bad 
enough,  but  unfortunately,  watering  the 
ceiling  is  the  least  of  the  problems. 

On  third  east,  the  residents  are  subject 
to  a  phenomena  called  "Acute  Thermal 
H20  Deprivation,"  brought  on  by  the 
"Sudden  Increased  Utilization  of  Non- 
Thermal  H20  by  the  Body  Waste  Con- 
fiscation and  Sanitation  System."  In 
other  words,  if  you're  taking  a  shower 
and  someone  flu.shes  the  toilet,  you'll  be 
momentarily  scalded. 

On  first  west,  the  problem  is  lack  of 
water  pressure.  How  bad  is  it?  Picture  in 
your  mind  four  water  pistols  firing  at  the 
same  time,  or  the  water  flow  from  a 
garden  hose  tied  in  a  knot.  You  get  the 
picture. 

On  second  west  there  are  so  many 
problems,  it's  difficult  lo  know  where  lo 
Stan.  Only  two  ofihe  five  shower  heads 
function  properly.  One  of  the  heads 
needs  to  be  replaced  and  one  has  the 
same  problem  as  first  fioor  in  its  lack  of 
pressure. 

It's  a  real  hassle  to  take  a  shower  one 
body  pan  at  a  time.  If  you're  rijshed  for 
lime  in  the  morning,  you  have  to  decide 
whether  to  wash  your  front  or  your  back. 
Of  course,  you  could  always  come  back 
in  the  evening  to  take  care  of  whatever 
didn't  get  cleaned  thai  morning. 


On  third  west,  there  is  a  different  type 
of  problem.  All  five  showers  work,  and 
three  of  them  work  so  well  they  keep  on 
working  even  after  they  are  turned  off. 
(This.  I  must  admit,  might  be  beneficial 
to  those  poor  souls  who  aren't  yet  fully 
awake  and  forget  to  turn  the  shower  on). 
On  a  more  serious  note,  however,  one 
can't  help  but  wonder  how  a  school  that 
is  so  gung-ho  about  saving  money  can  let 
hot  water  constantly  drip  out  of  these 
showers. 

1  have  talked  with  all  three  deans  about 
the  showers  and  what  was  being  done 
about  the  inefficiencies.  Here  is  what  I 
learned;  First,  work  orders  have  been 
turned  in  continuously  since  September 
1988.  That's  about  four  month's  worth 
of  requests  from  the  deans  to  have  the 
showers  repaired.  What's  taking  so 
long?  Second,!  learned  that  apparentiv 
there  are  some  who  doubt  the  validity  of 
the  complaints.  One  administration 
member  went  so  far  as  to  suggest  that 
maybe  she  should  don  her  swimsuil  and 
check  the  situation  herself.  Well  fine. 

If  the  repeated  complaints  of  three 
deans  and  a  multitude  of  dorm  residents 
aren't  enough.  I  say  let  her  come.  But 
someone  should  tell  her  that  she  needn't 
bother  with  a  towel.  She  probably  won't 
get  wet  enough  for  anything  more  than  a 
washcloth. 

Three  showerheads  were  delivered 
over  Christmas  break.  They're  all  bro- 
ken now  (one  broke  while  a  dean  was 
screwing  it  onto  the  shower),  and  we  all 
know  that  the  fact  that  they  were  plastic 
had  anything  to  do  with  their  breaking. 
Necessary  supplies  are  on  order  and 
should  be  in  shortly.  If  so  the  showers 
could  be  repaired  before  the  end  of  this 
month,  only  five  months  after  work  was 
requested.  What  service!  After  all,  if 
you're  paying  $9,000  lo  attend  an  insti- 
tution, you  expect  the  best.

Souihem  College's  two  full-time  journalism  profes- 
sors will  leave  al  the  end  of  this  semester.  Department 
Chairman  C.A.  Oliphani  and  Assistant  Professor  Ron 
Smith  submitted  their  resignations  during  Christmas 
Break,  to  be  effective  June  1. 

"We  feel  that  perhaps  our  vision  and  goals  are  beyond 
what  the  college  wants  at  this  stage,"  said  Oliphant 
"What  we  have  felt  has  been  missing  is  the  full  commit-

Oliphant  explains,  "I  came  here  with  the  specific 
purpose  of  working  to  develop  a  journalism  program 
that  would  meet  Ihe  standards  for  accreditation  by  the 
AcCTCditing  Counsel  on  Education  and  Journalism  and 
Mass  Communications.  A  proposed  document,  agreed 
toby  SC's  Board,  administration,  and  Coffey  Commu-

Smith  said,  "My  resignation  was  in  support  of  him 
[Oliphant].  We  weremakingajointstalemenl,"he  said. 

■'We've  been  seeking  a  strong  commitment  toward 
[departmental)  accreditation  by  the  administration  and 
have  never  received  it,"  said  Oliphant. 

Donald  Sahly,  college  president,  says,  "Their  view- 
point is  10  seek  administration  commitment  and  then 
use  it  as  a  club  to  beat  administration  in  the  direction 
they  want  to  go...When  the  department  isready.  we  will 
seek  il  [accreditation).  I've  always  said  those  goals 
were  worthy,  but  let  us  move  forward  at  a  little  slower 
pace,"  said  Sahly, 

■'Our  department  was  supposed  to  be  ready  to  begin 
the  accreditation  program  after  three  years."  said  01-

realistic  time  frame  for  ihe  accomplishment  of  such  a 

The  Accrediting  Counsel  on  Education  and  Journal-

Oiings,  that  a  journalism  depanmeni  mainiam  an  ade-

poses, and  leaching  loads,  according  to  Oliphant.  "We 
feel  tiiat  two  or  three  teachers  jusi  issn't  sufficient  for 
ourprogram.  As  the  program  grows,  you've  gottohave 

more  teachers."  Oliphant  said.

growth  in  the  depanmeni.  "growth  should  grow  natu-

never  slated  that  teachers  would  need  to  keep  being 
added  if  Ihe  program  did  not  continue  to  grow.  That 
wouldn't  be  sensible,"  he  said. 

Oliphani  has  been  on  loan  assignment  (meaning  his 
salary  is  paid  in  full  without  funds  from  Souihem 
College)  to  SC's  joumalism  depanmeni  from  Coffey

Lack  of  heros 
robs  our  school 
of  strong  leaders 


Our  generalion  grew  up  with  no  real  heros.  The  genera- 
tions before  us  had  gobs  of  heros;  people  who  stood  for  si 
thing;  people  who  dared  (o  make  a  difference;  people  who 
wanted  to  lead  in  the  pursuit  of  life,  liberty,  and  happiness. 
Their  greatest  gift  was  themselves,  which  they  gave  sclflessly . 

Our  generalion  lives  with  no  real  heros.  The  pscudo-heros 
of  today  lack  the  virtue,  integrity,  and  ability  to  deserve  heroic 
status.  Scandal,  dishonesty,  ignorance,  and  prejudice  regu- 
larly follow  today's  prominent  figures.  Hero  races  for  today's 
leaders  are  no  longer  selecting  the  prime  candidate  with  v 
and  courage,  but  rather  settling  for  the  lesser  of  two  evils. 
Their  greatest  gift  was  distrust,  disappointment,  and  disillu- 
sionment, which  they  have  given  to  an  entire  nation. 

Our  generaHon  must  cultivate  heros.     Our  college,  oui 
nation,  our  world  is  in  desperate  n 
will  dare  to  stand  and  lead.   In  political,  spiritual,  and  s 
spheres,  leaders  must  emerge  (rom  our  ranks  who  a 

In  a  society  with  degenerating  values,  Southern  Colk 
Seventh-day  Adventists  cries  for  student  leaders  li 
the  surface  and  dedicate  their  talents  to  service.  Leaders  w^o 
will  heroically  lead  in  our  school,  our  church,  and  our  nation. 

Southern  College  can  be  known  by  its  lovely  landscape,  its 
conservative  values,  or  its  liberal  arts  curriculum.  But  would 
it  not  be  ideal  for  Southern  to  have  a  reputation  for  cultivating 
heros?  Would  it  not  be  beneficial  for  our  school  to  invest  in 
the  training  and  development  of  leaders?  Would  it  not  be 
admirable  to  claim  that  our  college  creates  individuals  who 
stand  for  virtue  and  courage? 

Now  is  the  time  to  start  leadership  trairung.  Now 's  the  time 
to  surface  and  humbly  offer  yourself  in  servant  leadership. 
Now  is  the  tim

Tlie  "Hands  of 
God"  sculpture  by  Victor  Man- 
uel Contreras  will  tie  moved  lo 
[he  University  of  Tennessee  ai 
Chattanooga.  But  before  we 
wave  goodbye  and  good  rid- 
dance to  this  "controversial" 
work,  there  are  some  angles 
that  have  yet  to  be  considered. 
A  lot  of  controversy  has  sur- 

arrived  on  campus  10  years 
ago.  The  controversy  evolved 
from  uninformed  interpreta- 
tions of  the  artwork.  School 
officials  say  iirepresents  God's 

wtiich  falls  a  drop  of  blood. 

The  "official"  meaning  given 
by  Dr.  Sahly,  as  quoted  from 
The  Chattanooga  Times,  is  "the 
sacrifice  of  Jesus  Christ  on  the 
s  God  is  holding  that  as

As  to  any  questions  of  the  an- 

ras  explained  that  he  is  a  Protes- 
tant and  does  not  believe  in 
idols  of  God,  meaning  a  direct 
representation  of  God  in  art. 

It  is  all  in^levent  now.  The 
sculpture  will  soon  be  removed 
and  placed  where  it  will  be 
appreciated.  "I  don't  care 
where  it  is  except  that  it  is  well 
taken  care  of,"  saic  Contreras.

By  Lynn  McFaddin 

"A  Night  in  New  York"  will  be  expe- 
rienced by  those  who  aiiend  ihe  Student 
Association  Valentine's  banqueton  Feb. 
!2.  Students  will  spend  the  evening  ai 
the  historic  Read  House  in  downtown 
Chaiianooga. 

The  banquet  will  be  held  in  the  Silver 
Ballroom.  Hors  d'oeuvres  will  be 
served  in  the  Continental  Room,  adja- 
cent to  the  Silver  Ballroom,  while  por- 
traits are  being  made. 

The  coordinators  will  not  say  exactly 
what  course  the  evening's  program  wUi 
follow.  Mike  Magursky,  S.A.  officer  in 
charge  of  public  relations,  would  sa) 
simply  that  there  would  be  live  emer- 
tainmeni  including  a  combination  of 
skits,  live  music,  and  video  taping.  He 
hopes  the  evening  will  be  unique  and 
we II -remembered  by  those  who  attend. 

Renee  Johnson,  SA  social  vice  presi- 
dent, said,  "The  program  will  noi  be 
s we ethean oriented.  Itwillbedesigned 
for  everyone  to  enjoy." 

This  year's  S  A  officers  have  tried  ihcjr 
best  to  make  improvements  on  the  ban- 
quets held  in  the  past.  Mark  Waldrop. 
SA  president,  said  this  will  be  the  first 
Southern  College  banquet  to  be  held  at 
the  Read  House.  In  recent  years  Ihe 
Chattanooga  Choo-Choo  has  been  a 
popular  site  for  banquets.  Waldrop  said, 
■To  me,  the  Read  House  is  a  muchclass- 
ier  place  than  the  Choo-Choo  and  they 

providing  a  vegetarian  menu." 

Waldrop  worked  with  Olan  Mills  in 
reducing  the  photo  package  prices  and 
achieved  a  two  dollar  discount.  This 
year  two  5x7's  and  10  wallets  will  cost 
only  eight  dollars.  The  S12  package 
includes  one  8x10,  two  5x7's,  and  10

26  College  Republicans  attend  inauguration 


By  Wendy  Odell 

Jan  uary  20. 1989  wasoneof  those  days 
when  hisioty  stood  still  to  take  notice  of 
a  particularly  momentou.s  occasion. 
Twenty-six  Southern  College  Republi- 
cans personally  witnessed  the  fifty-first 
presidential  inaugural  ceremony  on  the 
Capital  lawn. 

"There  were  so  many  people  there,  but 
whenBushgoiupitwas  quiet!  Ifelllike 
I  was  taking  part  in  history.  I  was  so 
touched,  ti  was  wild!"  said  Debbie 
Eldridge. 

The  Mormon  Tabernacle  Choir  helped 
prepare  a  ceremonial  atmosphere  during 
the  pre-inaugural  program.  Then  every- 
one listened  as  Vice  President  George 
Bush  repealed  the  35  words  that  made 
him  the  new  U.S.  President. 


said  President  Bush  during  his  accep- 
tance speech.  Thecrowd  seized  onto  the 
theme.     Says  Michelle  Wing.  "One 


woman  even  asked  Laurie  Edens,  John 
Negley,  Melissa  Rose,  and  1 — along 
with  the  thousands  of  people  behind 
us — 10  bea  kinder  and  gentlernation  and 
take  one  step  back  so  she  could  have 
more  room  for  herself."  said  Michelle 
Wing,  "but  no  one  heard  her  because  it 
was  at  that  time  that  everyone  was  rush- 
ing forward  to  see  the  celebrities  thai 
came  to  witness  the  inauguration." 

Some  individuals  noticed  included 
Arnold  Schwarzenegger,  Charles  Bron- 
son,  Donald  Trump,  Kevin  Cosmer, 
Maria  Shriver...and  the  list  goes  on. 

"Seeing  all  those  stars  was  almost 
belter  than  the  inauguration  itself,"  said 
Brenda  Menhardl. 

"George  lo  George-200  years"  was  a 
popular  inaugural  iheme  thai  empha- 
sized the  similarity  in  today's  traditions 
with  those  in  George  Washington's  day. 
Southern  College  students  toured  an 
exhibit  set  up  near  the  Washington 
t  that  illustrated  the  years  that 


have  passed  since  Ihe  first  inauguration 
of  1789  in  New  York  City.  Large  paint- 
ings and  replicas  of  Ihe  Statue  of  Liberty 
and  the  Liberty  Bell  comprised  part  of 
the  outdoor  exhibit. 

"I  enjoyed  the  inauguration — even 
though  it  was  quite  cold — and  touring 
the  various  museums,"  said  Paul  Eirich. 
"I  also  visited  Ariington  National  Ceme- 
tery where  my  grandparents  are  buried." 

Traveling  time  to  and  from  Washing- 
ton. D.C.  averaged  11  1/2  hours.  Colum- 
bia Union  College  accommodated  the 
College  Republicans  for  the  three 
nights.  Members  paid  their  own  way. 
but  the  cost  of  the  trip  was  reduced,  due 
to  outside  financial  support  for  the  trip. 
Members  also  received  passes  to  ihe 
inauguration  and  official  invitations  to 
all  the  events.  Tickets  had  to  be  pur- 
chased individually  for  most  of  the  other 
events.  The  prices  ranged  fi-om  S20  to 
$200.  Therefore,  most  students  decided 
lo  attend  the  functions  that  were  cither 


at  they  had  passe 


Students  attended  the  parade  and  a  few 
snuck  into  the  $150  seals  for  free.  "We 
were  scared  that  we  were  going  to  ge' 
caught  at  first,  but  we  could  sure  we  a  lot 
better."  said  Melissa  Rose.  The  parade 
started  an  hour  late  and  lasted  until  7:. 
p.m.  There  were  200  parade  entries. 

Some  students  went  on  a  walking  tou 
of  the   monumenis   thai  nighl, 
spending  all  day  outside  watching  i"^ 
inaugralion  and  parade.     The  mon 
ments  remain  lit  at  night.

Southern  College's  policy  dealing 
WLih  drugs  and  alcohol  was  revised  in 
I  December  upon  recommendations  from 
olhet  Adventisi  Colleges,  a  professional 
chemical  abuse  counselor,  and  the  Gen- 
eral ConferenceofSevenlh-day  Advent- 
isLs,  according  to  William  Wohlers,  vice 
president  for  Siudeni  Services. 

Emphasis  has  been  placed  on  follow- 
up,  said  Wohlers.  He  said  the  goal  is  to 


help  siudents  deal  wiih  their  problems, 
notjusl  to  punish  (hem. 

Under  the  new  policy,  siudents  caught 
with  alcohol  or  illicit  drugs  will  be  sus- 
pended a  minimum  of  one  week.  Qual- 
ley says  the  one-week  suspension  is 
necessary  to  evaluate  the  student's  in- 
volvement with  dnigs  and  alcohol  and  to 
assess  what  the  school  can  do  to  help. 
The  suspended  student  musl  complete  a 
$25  evaluation — paid  in  cash — lo  deter- 
mine his  level  of  drug  or  alcohol  in- 
volvement before  being  considered  for 


ley  sayshe  backs  off  the  situation,  "A  loi 
of  times  if  you  confront  them  with  the 
facts.-.ihey'll  admit  it."  he  said. 

Qualley  says  he  wishes  other  students 
would  help  those  wiih  substance  abuse 
problems.  "Are  you  really  a  friend  of 
this  person  if  you  let  ihem  carry  on  with 
this  activity?"  he  asked. 

Hobbs  said  it  will  be  difTiculiio  decide 
whether  or  not  to  suspend  a  student  who 
has  turned  himself  in  for  help.  "The 
in  this  college  are  in  a  lough  posi- 


.  We  not  only  c 


"...Adventist  kids  drink, 
Adventist  kids  do  drugs, 
have  premarital  sex,  and 
commit  suicide.... We  can't 
afford  to  let  kids  with 
problems  pull  down  the 
good  kids,  but  we  can  get 
them  some  help." 

'Qualley 


Deans  say  ihe  most  difficult  part  of 
incorporating  the  policy  is  finding  the 
students  using  drugs  or  alcohol  and  then 
getting  those  students  to  admit  iheir 
problem.  "There's  no  way  humanly 
possiblcto  deal  with  every  situation  1 
know  aboui,"  says  Qualley.  If  Ihe  stu- 
dent denies  using  alcohol  or  drugs  Qual- 


11  gets  us  in  a 
bind.. .[this  situationl  would  be  a  judg- 
ment call  on  the  pan  of  the  dean." 

Readmission  for  suspended  siudents 
hinges  on  the  substance  abuse  evalu- 
ation. If  the  student  was  experimeniing. 


he  will  be  r 


suspension.  If  ihe  chemical  use  was 
more  lhan  experimental,  the  student  will 
remain  suspended  pending  completion 
of  a  college-approved  rehabilitation 
program. 

A  readmitted  student  will  be  required 
to  panicipaie  in  a  multi-faceted  follow- 
up  program.  Jackie  Gray,  counselor  with 
Chattanooga  Alcohol  and  Drug  Abuse 
Service,  will  hold  weekly  resistance 
education  seminars. 

In  addition,  students  trained  by  Gray 
will  reach  other  students  through  peer 
reinforcement  meetings—open  to  all 
studenis-which  will  be  coordinated 
through  the  Chaplain's  Office. 

Qualley  is  skeptical  of  the  peer  rein- 


forcemeni  program  "probably  because 

the  school  lo  get  the  reputation  of  run- 
ning a  rehabilitation  center,"  he  said. 

Stan  Hobbs.  associate  dean  of  men, 
said  the  program  is  not  designed  to  be  a 
rehabilitation  program,  so  policy  word- 
ing was  chosen  to  avoid  projecting  that 

New  siudents  involved  in  substance 
abuse  prior  to  Iheir  admission  at  SC  will 
face  possible  urine  screening  and  pos- 
sible required  attendance  at  Alcoholics 
Anonymous  or  Narcotics  Anonymous 
meetings — at  the  school's  disc 
as  conditions  for  i 
Wohlers  and  Qualley  said  Ihe  urine 
screening  option  is  pan  of  the  follow-up 
program  and  not  an  item  that  will  be 
directed  at  students  refusing  to  confess 


chemical  abuse  problem  after  complet- 
ing Ihe  evaluation  and  the  follow-up 
program  will  be  suspended  from  Ihe  col- 
lege indefinitely. 

Wohlers  declined  to  say  how  many 
students  are  currently  affected.  Hobbs 
estimates  four  or  more  siudents  will  be 
involved  as  the  policy  takes  effect  this 


magical  formula.  Kids  are  going 
kids  and  experiment  and  take  the  ci 
quences,"  he  said.

Bovell's  team  finds  iiself  in  first  place  after  four 
games  wiih  a  ihree  and  one  record.  Taking  victories 
from  Pollom  and  McKenzie  84-72  and  77-83,  respec- 
tively, ihey  were  upselby  cellar  dwelling  Johnson  85- 
83,  But  Ihey  bounced  back  to  grab  a  72-65  victory 
over  Grisso.  Bovell's  loss  lo  Johnson  serves  notice 
Ihal  there  is  apariiy  in  A A-league  this  year,  and  all  the 
teams  are  still  in  the  running. 

The  first  of  three  teams  wiih  a  two  and  two  record, 
Grisso  has  been  a  consistent  team.  They  beat  Johnson 
twice,  winning  68-67  in  iheir  first  game  and  74-72  in 
their  second.  Despite  Ihe  fact  thai  they  have  lost  two. 
they  are  still  a  very  good  learn.  Their  losses  were  78- 
63  and  72-65 — decisions  thai  went  to  Pollom  and 
Bovell.  respectively.  If  they  continue  lo  play  solid 
basketball,  they  will  be  very  much  in  contention. 

After  winning  Iheir  first  two  games  of  the  season — 
91-81  overPollom  and  86-81  over  Johnson— Mck- 
enzie's team  seems  to  have  faltered.  In  the  throws  of 
a  two  game  losing  streak.  McKenzie  has  fallen  into  a 
three-way  tie  for  second  with  a  two  and  two  record. 
After  Iheir  loss  to  Bovell  they  were  suprised  84-80  in 
their  second  meeting  of  the  season  with  Pollom, 
McKenzie  is  still  capable  of  making  a  run  on  Bovell. 
They  are  definitely  a  team  lo  watch. 

Pollom's  terrible  slart  this  season  threatened  lo  rele-

After  their  losses  to  Bovell  and  McKenzie,  they  came 
back  lo  lake  the  second  decision  over  McKenzie  84-80 
and  also  bealGrisso  78-73.  !f  they  continue  to  play  on 
this  level,  they  couldeasily  wrest  ihe  lead  from  Bovell. 
Johnson  has  been  a  hard  luck  team  all  season.  All 
three  of  their  losses  were  by  five  points  or  less.  With 
just  a  little  luck,  Johnson  could  have  been  unbeaten 
this  season.  However,  it  wasn't  lo  be  and  they  are  now 
in  the  AA-league  cellar  with  a  one  and  three  record. 
However,  Johnson's  team  served  notice  with  then 
upset  win  over  Bovell  thai  thev  can't  be  trifled  with.

ketball  standings.  Undefeated  in  four  games,  Pru-

leading  defense.  After  defeating  Keppler  5+-51. 
they  downed  Meisinger  5M7  and  Parkhurst  51-

Jerkiw  has  been  a  disappointment  for  much  of 
this  season.  With  by  far  the  lowest  scoring  offense 
in  the  Icagiie,  Jerkiw  has  had  a  difficuh  time  finding 
someone  to  give  them  consistent  offense.  This  fact

Collegiate  Missions  Club.  During  die 
week  there  were  several  speakers  from 
varying  areas  of  denominational  work. 
They  held  worship  and  chapel  talks  and

id  Jolly, ; 


Frontier  Missions  based  in  Berrien 
Springs,  related  his  message  through  a 
slide  presentation  during  World  Mis- 
sions Emphasis  Week.  He  showed  that 
12%  of  the  world's  population  have  not 
been  reached  widi  the  SDA  message, 
leaving  only  28%  who  have  heard  it. 
When  asked  to  summarize  his  pres- 


entation. Jolly  said  he  desired  lo  "let 
people  know  there  is  a  great  need.  The 
work  is  not  done —  we  all  need  to  partici-

According  to  Shannon  Bom.  president 
of  the  Collegiate  Mission  Club,  Jolly's 
statement  expresses  the  purpose  of

also  hoped  to  "inspire  diose  who  are 

as  student  missionaries  and  maybe  for 
longer  as  a  full-lime  missionary  after 
school," 

Carlos  Romero  said.  "1  learned  that 
there  are  many  untouched  people  groups

Journalism 

Continued  from  page  1 

article  in  the  Southern  Tidings  describ- 
ing Olipham's  goals  for  SC's  journalism 
department 

"Ohphani  sold  me  on  tiie  idea  of  build- 
ing a  one-of-a-kind  program  in  the  SDA 
denomination — an  accrediled  school  of 
journalism  that  would  be  recognized 
throughout  the  church  as  "the  place  lo 
go"  in  Ihe  field  of  journalism,  much  like 
Walla  Walla  is  recognized  for  its  engi- 
neering department,"  said  Smith. 

Olipham  worked  for  diree  and  one- 
half  years  al  Coffey  Communications. 
Inc.priortoieachingatSC.  Heservedas 
senior  vice  president  of  die  company  and 
as  editor-in-chief  of  Wea///i  Scene,  a  16- 
page  ubioid  containing  health  and 
medical  news  and  information,  written 
for  the  general  public.  Oliphant  says  he 
was  able  to  watch  the  publication  prog- 
ress from  merely  an  idea  to  apublication 
with  a  circulation  of  over  five  million 
during  his  editorship. 

For  next  year.  Oliphant's  plans  are 
quite  certain.  "I'm  going  back  to  Coffey 
Communications,  with  its  headquarters 
in  Seanle,  Wash.,  to  do  editorial  work 


again  and  some  consulting."  he  said. 
"I'm  also  looking  into  writing  some 
books  that  Coffey  can  market" 

Smith  has  not  yet  made  definiie  plans. 
"I've  been  offered  a  job  leaching  and  a 
couple  of  jobs  at  newspapers,  but  I  have- 
n't accepted  any  of  them  yet."  he  said. 

"It's  a  tragedy."  said  Oliphanl  of  die 
situation.  "It's  a  failure  of  vision — not 
on  Cecil's  and  my  part,  but  definitely  a 
failure.  I've  made  pleas  time  after  lime 
for  die  commitment  we've  felt  is  neces- 
sary to  make  this  program  go."  he  said. 

"I'm  Sony."  said  Sahly  of  Oliphant's 
and  Smitii's  resignations.  "1  don't  want 
Ihem  lo  leave  and  I've  told  diem  tiiat  I 
wish  diey  would  stay.. .but  this  is  some- 
tiiing  they've  worked  out  for  diem- 
sclves,"he  sEud. 

Sahly  continued,  "Solution  was  never 
seen  as  a  cooperative  agreement  It  was 
an  all  or  nothing  sitiiation.  and  die  col- 
lege just  couldn't  cope  widi  il-I  have 
honestly  done  all  I  can  do  to  satisfy  their 
needs  anddesires,  but  therecomesatime 
when  you  just  have  to  give  up."  said

Pariofihe  incentive  forbeing  involved 


with  the  Journal  is  gelling  bylines  and 
photo  credits  in  the  newspaper,  which 
looks  good  on  resumes.  "I  think  it's  a 
great  opportunity  lo  get  practical  expe- 
rience with  our  pictures...in  a  profes- 
sional way  ."said  Lisa  DiBiase,  photog- 
raphy student.  Six  photo  journalism 
students  are  working  on  phoio  assign- 
ments for  the  paper. 

The  Journal  itself  developed  slower 
than  the  pictures  students  have  primed 
for  il.  Smith  said  he  and  Oliphani  dis- 
cussed the  idea  of  a  local  newpaper  for

Home  Economics  department  faces  extinction 


By  Erich  Stevens 

Shock,  horror,  pain,  grief,  anger, 
tears,  and  disgust  were  emotions  felt 
by  home  economics  students  when 
they  learned  their  deparimenl  may  be 
phased  out.  said  Diane  Fletcher, 
consumer  and  family  sciences  de- 
partment chairman. 

On  Feb.  20  the  college  board  voles 
on  Academic  Dean  Floyd  Green- 
leaf's  proposal  to  abolish  the  depart- 
ment. If  passed.  Soulhem  College 
will  no  longer  offer  any  degrees 


a  month  Is 


"Ii's  really 


will  be  able  lo  continue  in  the  pro- 
gram through  the  1989-90  school 
year  (at  the  end  of  which  the  depart- 
ment will  close),  but  they  will  not  be 
able  to  register  as  majors  in  any  con- 
sumer and  family  science  programs 
in  August,  said  Fletcher. 

Fletcher  and  the  college  board  re- 
ceived official  word  of  ihe  proposal 


Jensen,  president  of  the  Consumer 
and  Family  Sciences  Club  and  a  jun- 
ior majoring  in  textiles  and  clothing. 
"We  [sludenis]  haven't  been  able  to 
make  a  presentation  lo  the  hoard,  and 
we  feel  they  don't  know  the  facts  " 


on  Feb.  20. 

According  lo  Donald  Sahly.  presi- 
dent of  SC.  the  department  is  not  fi- 
nancially viable.  Enrollment  in 
home  economics  programs  has  de- 
clined, and  the  department's  ex- 
penses arc  not  covered  adequately. 

However.  Record's  Office  siatis- 
lics  show  a  siable  enrollmenl.  In  the 
1985  and  1986  school  years,  there 
were  15  home  economies  majors.  In 


enrollmenl  for  ihelastfiveyea 
majors. 

"Why  do  we  seem  to  think  that  it  is 
tooexpensiveioeducale  .students  for 
esseniiai  everyday  activities?  Itdoes 
cost  money  lo  offer  these  classes. 
But  not  offering  them  also  costs 
money— divorce  has  fiscal  as  wellas 
emotional  costs."  said  Fletcher 

"What  we  have  to  decide  is 
whether  dol  lars  and  cents  is  more  im- 
portant than  Adveniisieducation  and 
philosophy."  she  added. 

The  department  is  not  academi- 
cally viable,  said  Sahly,  It  has  four 
teachers,  bui  only  Fletcher  teaches 
full-lime.  The  other  three-Roy 
Dingle  (Village  Market  Bakery  di- 
rector) and  Earl  Evans  (food  service 
director),  who  teach  food  service  ad- 
minislration.  and  Judy  Pod,  who 
teaches  the  textiles  and  clothing  mi-

Tuesday  nighl.  Jan.  31.  is  all

Lack  of  Heroes 

A.  Allan  Martin's  editorial, 
"Lack  of  heroes  robs  our  school 
of  strong  leadeni,"  stimulated 
me  to  do  a  lot  of  thinking  about 
the  possibility  that  we  do  have 
heros  at  and  associated  with  SC. 

Think  of  the  student  (and  his/ 
her  spouse)  who  works — often 
late  into  the  night — for  a  Chris- 
tian education  and  preparation 
to  serve;  the  faculty  member 
who  works  long  hours  and  raises 
tens  of  thousands  of  dollars, 
maybe  more,  from  outside  of

iphani  and  Smith]  want  the  college  to  bring  in  four 
teachers  and  ihcre  are  only  45  or  50  majors  in  the 
depanmenl...They  want  to  force-feed  the  process." 
It  seems  as  interest  in  the  situation  grew,  administra- 
tion adjusted  figures  to  defend  its  position.  Mary 
Elam,  director  of  records,  says  there  were  actually  66 
majors  last  semester  and  there  are  61  majors  this 
semester  (counting  double  majors).  Maybe  SC 
needs  a  remedial  course  in  Counting  Majors  aimed  at 
administrators  making  public  statements. 

Act  2 — ^Teachers  requested  for  the  department: 
It  is  true  Oliphani  wanted  four  and  even  five  teachers 
in  the  journalism  department,  but  what  Sahly  didn't 
mention  was  the  suggested  timing  of  the  additional 
faculty.  In  a  proposal  submitted  lo  administration  by 
Oliphant.  the  request  was  for  "three  full-time  faculty 
members  who  devote  all  their  effort  lo  teaching 
coursesdirectly  essential  to  the  department., .a  fourth 
full-time  faculty  memberwilljoin  the  faculty  as  soon

He  said  there  was  only  one  journal-

True,  Frances  Andrews  was  the  journalism  teacher. 
But  the  department  was  structured  differently  three 
years  ago,  encompassing  a  wide  range  of  i 
tion  subjects.  Actually  there  were  two  teachers  i

;  the  s 


many  students  came  away  with  the  misconception  of  a 

one  teacher  department.  It  does  make  a  difference  in 
how  you  view  what's  happened.  Southern  College  paid 
two  teachers'  salaries  when  the  department  had  far 
fewer  majors  than  it  does  now.  The  original  intent 
behind  adding  Oliphani  to  the  department  at  Coffey's 
expense  was,  I  believe,  lo  help  the  college  gain  a  third 
professor  crucial  in  building  the  department  and  apply- 
ing for  accreditation— all  at  no  extra  cash  outlay  to  the

on  the  subject  of  teachers,  two  other 
contradictory.  Sahly  said  he  didn't 
think  Oliphant  was  prepared  to  stay  beyond  the  three- 
year  agreement.  Oliphant  says,  "My  plan  has  always 
been  to  continue  with  the  program  as  long  as  it  has  the 
commitment  and  support  of  the  college."  Maybe  the 
statements  aren't  contradictory  after  all! 

Act  3^Funding  by  CofTej  Communications: 
Sahly  told  Journalism  students  funding  from  Coffey 
Communications  would  end  later  this  year  and  there 
had  been  no  indication  fromCoffey  any  more  could  be 
expected.  Sahly  expressed  doubt  that  Coffey  Com- 
munications could  afford  to  subsidize  the  program 
any  further.  Coffey  said,  "I  agreed  lo  help 
the  program  for  three  years, ,.I  did  make 
that  I  would  assess  the  need  for  the  future  and  would 
probably  participate  in  something  further  with  the  de-

Administration  has  repeatedly  said  it  fully  supports

Repaving  Collegedale  airport 
takes  longer  than  expected 


By  David  Hamilton 

Collegedale  Airport's  runway  was 
recently  lengthened  from  3,300  feet  to 
4,700  feet  and  completely  repaved.  The 
project  took  too  much  lime,  said  Roy 
Fan.  manager  of  the  Collegedale  air- 
port, which  is  run  by  Southemair,  Inc. 

"li  was  completed  on  about  the  first  of 
December  after  six  months  of  work," 
said  FatT.  "We  had  hoped  to  have  the 
mnway  done  before  that,  but  the  con- 
Hans  Orjasaeter,  president  of  Souiher- 

ago  that  the  runway  improvements  were 
supposed  to  take  four  months.  He  had 
also  said  thalpaving  the  entire  stripafter 
improvements  would  lake  only  a  couple 
of  days. 

However,  the  contractor  look  "an 
unnecessary,  ridiculous  amount  of 
lime,"  said  Farr.  "They  took  two  weeks 
10  pave  itand  two  weeks  lo  paint  it.  It  was 
upsetting  and  unnecessary."  Farr  said 
die  contractor  was  not  a  local  company. 

The  airport  runway  improvements 
have  reduced  flight  traffic  into  the  Chat- 
lanooga  airport,  says  Farr.  "We're  the 
principle  relief  for  them.  We  expect  to 
have  more  business  now  because  the 
improvements  allow  the  flying  public 
access  lo  a  good  modem  airport,"  said 

Souihemair,  Inc.  also  hopes  lo  have 
more  plane  space  built  in  the  near  future. 
according  to  Farr.  "We're  getting  up  itie 
money  for  that  right  now,"  he  said,  "We 
e\peci  aboui  25  more  spaces,  maybe  30. 


Since  Collegedale  Airport  isowncd  by

Assembly  skips  cost  $10  each 


By  David  Hamilton 

Southern  College's  weekly  i 
blies  should  be  well  attended  this  semes- 
ter thanks  to  a  new  Student  Services 
policy  change.  Students  will  now  be 
charged  a  fine  of  $10  for  every  skipped

Siudeni  Services  William  Wohlers.

money.  We're  just  trying  to  find  some 
equitable  way,  for  dorm  and  village 
alike,  to  encourage  students  to  attend 

The  new  fee  is  also  the  result  of  moni- 
toring students'  assembly  attendance 
and  discussions  with  negligent  chapel 
attendees,  says  Wohlers.  The  reformed 
policy  will  answer  the  often  asked  ques- 
tion, "What  will  happen  if  I  don't  at- 
tend?" more  clearly  than  last  semester's 

The  policy  last  semester  stated  that  if  a 
■iiudent  did  not  meet  the  required  number 


of  16  chapel 
would  receive  a  suspension  of  registra' 
tion.  A  student  had  to  pay  a  $2S  fine  tc 
be  re-registered. 

If  this  policy  had  been  strictly  en 
forced,  652  students 


14-15  chapels,  162  stu- 
dents went  to  II -13  chapels.  95  attended 
6-10.  and  86  students  went  to  5  or  less

Both  Oit  and  Herman  stress  that  they

Love  is  more  than 
just  warm  feelings 


By  Darin  Slewart 

As  a  dazzling  ocean  scene  evolves 
from  the  strokes  of  an  artisl's  brush— 
a  touch  of  gray  and  royal  blue  with  a 


It  oft 


d  of  t 


running  throughoul.  tying  it  all  to- 
geiher— so  love  begins  with  a  touch 
of  affection  and  a  spark  of  desire,  a 
hint  of  pain  and  a  strand  of  patience, 
tying  it  all  togeiher.  Romandc  yet 
pragmatic.  Veiled  yet  irrepressible. 

Love  is  two  friends  sitting  hand  in 
hand  silently  gazing  into  space;  com- 
municating more  effectively  than 
with  all  the  words  a  poet  could  ever 
pen.  It  is  sharing  a  personal  moment 
and  in  turn  being  misted  with  a  secret 

— Love  can  be  trusted. 

Love  knows  when  arefreshing  back 
rub  to  relieve  tensions  is  needed, 
when  to  speak,  and  when  silence  is 
golden.  Iikeepsabagofpotatochips 
and  a  box  of  kleenex  handy  and 
knows  the  proper  time  for  each.  An 


affectionate  hug.  a  little  note,  a  long- 
stemmed  rose — love  knows  which  is 
needed  and  when. 

— Love  is  perceptive. 

Love  stays  up  all  night  to  console  a 
hurting  friend  and  rejoices  in  the 
morning  at  thcdawnofanew  day.  A 
surprise  phone  call,  an  invitation  to 
the  laie-nighl  movie,  or  a  walk  along 
the  beach  at  dusk  when  the  cool 
summer  breezes  gently  tug  at  one's 
hair — love  is  each  of  these.  U  hugs 
often,  complains  at  times,  cries  a  lot, 

— Love  responds. 

Is  love  merely  a  waim  feeling  of 
emotion,  a  transitional  process,  or  an 
instinct?  While  it  is  indeed  each  of 
these,  it  goes  much  deeper.  Love 
uncovers  the  mystique  of  a  person, 
understands  when  it  is  infringed 
upon,  laughs  when  amused,  and  cries 
when  hurt  It  can  last  a  lifetime  or 
seemingly  dissolve  overnight.  Love 
is  diverse,  frustrating,  perceptive, 
and  responsive  but  more  than  thai, 
love  is  a  progressive  journey. 

— Love  becomes.

A  digital  recording  engineered  by 
WSMC  was  cut  into  a  compact  disk  for 
the  first  Lme  in  the  radio  station's  his- 
tory. The  two-disk  album  was  made 
available  Jan.  16. 

The  new  recording  features  an  Aus- 
trian organist,  August  Humer,  who  hired 
WSMC  to  record  the  Orgelhuchlein  of 
Johann  Sebastian  Bach  in  March  of 

"We've  had  the  technology  todigiially 
record  for  two  years  now,  but  this  is  the 
firsi  lime  we've  recorded  for  compact

■  Buckncr  Conservatory  of 


Music  in  Linz.  Austria,  used  the  Anton 
Heiller  Memorial  Organ,  located  in  the 
CoUegedale  SDA  Church,  for  the  re- 
cording. 

"More  importandy  than  this  being  our 
compact  disk,  this  is  the  first  disk  of  the 
organ  in  the  church."  said  Peel. 

WSMC  Manager  Doug  Wajler  and 
Peel  engineered  the  recording,  but  were 
noi  involved  in  the  final  productions. 
Humer  took  the  recording  back  to  Aus- 
tria where  the  record  company.  Extem- 
pore, reproduced  the  disk. 

"It  was  basically  a  contract  job.  We 
had  the  equipment,  and  he  (Humer) 
hired  us."  said  Peel.

it  was  impossible  to  make  the  change  at 
this  point.  Blanco  added  that  thedepan- 
ment  plans  to  resubmit  the  rejected  pro- 
posal on  the  grounds  that  both  counsel- 
ing classes  be  required.  If  passed,  the 
changes  would  be  implemented  next 
school  year. 

Blanco  says  the  Fundamcnuls  of 
Counseling  class  offered  by  Ihepsychol- 
ogy  department  focuses  mainly  on  theo- 
retical principles  of  counseling.  While 
such  information  is  important,  a  course 
in  pastoral  counseling  would  focus  on 
the  spiritual  dimensions  of  counseling.

Derek  Morris.  a.ssociate  professor  of 
religion,  said  such  a  class  would  provide 
a  usable  aid  in  pastoral  counseling — one 


that  would  offer  a  practical  approach  for 
religion  students.  He  also  said  the  idea 
for  the  class  was  student-generated. 
Religion  students  have  voiced  ihe  need 
for  such  a  course  to  better  prepare  them 
for  the  pastoral  duties  that  await  them 
after  they  graduate,  said  Morris. 

A  pastoral  counseling  class  would 
teach  students  how  to  listen  and  provide 
scripture-centered  counseling  tech- 
niques to  complement  the  information 
taught  in  the  psychology  counseling 
class,  "Wcwanttodoeverythingwecan 
to  make  the  program  responsive  to  the 
students'  needs,"  said  Morris. 

"Pastoral  counseling  cannot  be  all 
lextbook.  It  has  to  be  put  into  practice." 
said  Jackie  James,  a  freshman  religion 

Conference  leaders  have  also  ex- 
pressed a  desire  for  the  pastoral  counsel- 
ing class,  as  well  as  courses  in  finance. 
Christian  education,  computers,  and 
marriage  and  family  studies  lo  insure 
that  well-prepared  ministers  will  gradu- 
ate from  Southern  College. 

Based  on  such  requests,  the  current 
catalog  curriculum  has  changed  from 
last  year.  Cognaies  are  tighter  now.  and 
two  years  of  homiletics  (classes  in 
preaching)  will  be  required  as  opposed 
to  the  previous  one  year. 

A  summer  field  school  in  evangelism 
providing  six  semester  hours  of  credit 
has  also  been  added.  The  first  field 
school  was  held  this  past  summer  m 
Atlanta.  Fifteen  students  from  SC  par-

Craig  Lastine 

President 


I .  Here  al  Souihem  College  we  have  a 
good  relationship  bemeen  our  facuhy 
and  siudem  body.  But,  like  many  things. 
I  think  this  relationship  can  be  made 
belter.  Two  ways  in  which  we  can  work 
together  to  do  this  arc  outlined  below. 

A,  I  have  created  a  system  which  I  call 
the  "'Student  Association  Ombudsman 
System"  in  which  the  office  of  the  Stu- 
dent Association  Ombudsman  is  created 
within  the  Constitution  of  the 
SASCSDA  and  where  this  ombudsman 
would  be  appointed  by  the  SA  president. 
This  ombudsman  would  be  a  problem- 
solver,  available  to  every  student  who 
had  a  problem  with  the  faculty  or  with  an 
individual  committee  within  the  admini- 
stration network.  The  ombudsman  and 
the  SA  president  would  act  as  ex-officio 
members  of  any  commiltee  with  which 


The  purpose  of  the  Student  Associa- 
tion of  Southern  College  should  guide 
every  diligent  SA  president  in  his  duties. 
That  is:  promoting  Christian  fellowship 
between  students,  using  the  full  poten- 
tial of  our  resources  in  planning  student 
activities  in  a  growing  Christian  com- 
munity, and  to  represent  the  views  of  the 
students  to  the  faculty  and  administra- 

My  goal  for  the  1 989-90  school  year  is 
to  make  things  happen — by  utilizing  the 
individual  talents  every  student  can 
contribute  to  the  success  of  the  whole 
student  body.  The  spark  and  creativity 
of  the  individual  must  not  be  allowed  to 
wane  and  die.  Whether  our  goal  is  or- 
ganizing Strawberry  Festival,  planninga 
bam  party,  or  producing  the  Southern 
Accent,  count  on  being  asked  for  your 
opinion  and  help. 

After  two  years  of  searching.  I've  fi- 
nally found  a  home.  Souihem  is  the

Executive  Vice  President 

This  year  we  have  had  an  excellent 
executive  branch  doing  everything  po.s- 
sible  to  make  sure  that  the  student  body 
is  heard.  I  am  proud  to  have  been  a  pan 
of  this  group  and  to  have  been  able  to  do 
my  share  in  making  thisycarihe  best  one 
SC  has  ever  had. 

In  the  Senate,  many  issues  have  been 
brought  to  our  attention.  Most  have  been 
solved,  with  some  still  in  the  planning 
stages.  As  chairman  of  the  Talge  Hall 
parking  lot  security  committee,  I  am 
happy  to  tell  you  guys  that  the  security 
issue  in  the  parking  lot  is  well  underway. 
Lighting  has  been  ordered,  surveillance 
has  been  increased,  and  other  possibili- 
ties are  also  being  considered  in  the 
concem  for  the  safety  of  our  cars. 

There  is,  however,  still  room  for  im- 
provement with  pedestrian  safety  on  this 
campus.  This  is  an  issue  that  several 
people  have  expressed  concem  about, 
and  with  the  recent  scare  in  the  cross 

tion  of  priority. 

Unfortunately,  it  is  an  ongoing  con-

It  is  an  issue  that  I  feel  strongly  about  and 
will  do  my  best  to  obtain  satisfactory 
results  for  the  student  body. 

In  chairing  the  parking  lot  committee, 
I  had  the  opportunity  to  work  with  other 
senators  and  many  of  the  faculty  and 
staff  of  this  college  toward  a  common 
goal.  Il  is  this  experience  and  the  fact 
that  something  was  accomplished  that  I

As  a  candidate  for  SA  president,  it  is 
my  responsibility  to  fully  understand  the 
office  for  which  I  am  mnning.  The 
student  body  of  Southern  College  con- 
sisb  of  a  wide  variety  of  students  from 
diffeftiii  backgrounds,  countries  and 
cultures.  One  of  thepresident's  jobs  isto 
provide  every  student  with  adequate 
representation  and  loserve  the  student  in 
every  possible  way.  What!  woulddoas 
your  piEsidem  is  outlined  below. 


administration,  the  ombudsman  would 
inform  the  student  of  the  correct,  legal 
way  to  approach  the  problem.  This  per- 
sonal contact  with  the  administration 
would  alleviate  many  of  the  frustrations 
the  students  have  with  the  administra- 


B.  At  the  beginning  of  every  year,  the 
SA  puts  on  a  mixer  in  which  most  of  the 
teachers  come  out  to  meet  the  new  stu- 
dents. Thisisagoodeveniwhichllhink 
needs  to  beexpanded  to  twice  per  semes- 
ler.   The  size  of  our  school  gives  us  a 

^good  opportunity  to  have  that  teacher/ 
snideni  relationship  that  is  important  to 

,,  spiritual andacademic growth,  Iwantto 
improve  and  take  advantage  of  this 
opportunity. 

2.  The  other  side  of  my  platform  is 
simple.  I  like  Southern  College  and  I 
think  we  have  a  great  student  body.  1 
want  everyone  to  continue,  and  even 
improve,  the  positive,  familial  atmos- 
phere that  is  found  on  our  campus.  I 
believe  that  this  responsibility  rests  in 
the  students  of  Southem  College  as  well 
as  in  the  SA  president,  and  I  will  make 
every  possible  attempt  to  be  the  leader  in 
continuing  this  atmosphere  that  is  rcpre- 


ptiwerful  I 
voice,  well  represented  by  the  stuJent 
in  the  framework  of  Southem  College, 
will  accomplish  this  by  running  an  efli- 1 
cientand  well  organized  senate  thai  mil 
represent  you,  the  student,  because  I  will 
hear  your  voice  and  answer  it. 

VI,  To  provide  the  leadership  that  is 
required  for  this  office,  I  will  makedeci- 1

a  plan  that  you  will  suppon  and  bepioud  ■

what  Southern  College 


give  to  you  as  a  resume  in  my  behalf  as 
future  vice  president  of  SASCSDA. 

Just  as  "WE  THE  PEOPLE"  make  up 
this  great  nation.  "WE  THE  STU- 
DENTS" make  up  this  great  college. 
The  students  are  of  paramount  impor- 
tance to  the  future  of  this  college,  and 
therefore  must  be  heard.  It  is  my  solemn 
oath,  thai  I.  Len  Fast,  will,  if  elected,  use 
my  position  to  defend  the  rights  and 
opinions  of  the  student  body,  that  they 
may  be  heard  and  know  that  "THEY 
BELONG." 

We  have  seen  an  unparalleled  year  this 
year  and  this  example  will  help  lead  us  in 
the  future  and  provide  the  grounds  foran 
even  belter  year  next  year.

Is  there  anything  wrong  with 
chocolate-covered  ice  cream? 


By  C.  David  Wingale 

The  wind  blew.  There  was  achill  in 
ihe  air.  I  filled  my  lungs  with  a  slow 
brealh of iis coolness,  Witheachsiep 
I  felt  my  inhibitions  leave  me.  and  as 
soon  as  I  walked  through  ihe  gates.  I 
heardit.  Loud  Music.  Thiswas  gonna 
be  fun  after  all. 

I  received  my  ticket  and  slowly 
paced  my  snide.  So  far  so  good,  with 
children  laughing  and  playing.  I  had 
been  instiueled  to  go  to  the  front  for 

"I  need  to  see  your  ticket,"  a  stranger 
with  a  huge  umbrella  demanded.  I 
searched  my  pockets  for  what  she  re- 
quested.

found  was  a  foreign  piece  of  paper.  I

■■Garbage,"  I  thought,  and  threw  it 
away.  I  strolled  through  the  thickness 
of  the  crowd  lo  search  for  my  ticket. 
The  atmosphere  seemed  lo  change. 
There  was  loud,  obnoxious  giggling 
and  uncontrolled  gaiety.  Did  I  really 
belong  here?  Surelyldid.  These  were

My  words  were  lost  in  the  volume  of  an 
old  Huey  Lewis  tune  and  my  thoughts 
turned  to  the  sweat  gathering  about  my 
brow.  Was  it  my  imagination  or  was

In  desperation  I  ran  toward  him. 

It  was  as  if  I  was  running  through  thick 
sand.  Sand?  A  desert!  Thai's  it.  I  was 
onadesen!  That  eJtplained  the  heat.  I 
looked  toward  my  friend.  He  was  stand- 
ing next  10  three  pools  of  water.  I 
thought  maybe  1  could  quench  my  thirst, 
but  he  informed  me  that  the  waters  were 
poisoned.  Two  ladybugs  and  one  fat  fly 
were  wading  in  one  pool.  "How  un- 
usual,"! thought. 

I  turned  to  my  friend.  "Where's  my 
Father?"  I  asked,  even  before  1  had  real- 
ized Ihe  peculiarity  of  my  inquiry. 

"He's  on  lop  of  the  mountain,"  my 
friend  responded,  as  if  he  had  been  wail-

for  40  days  now,  and  I  don't  think  He's 
coming  down  anytime  soon," 

"Oh,  that  explains  everything."  1  said. 
and  yet  it  really  explained  nothing.  My 
friend  soon  found  our  conversation  dull 

Why  was  I  not  getting  all  this?  My 
mind  became  dazed.  My  throat  was  dry 
and  my  breathing  became  impaired.  "I 
gotta  leave."  I  screamed.  No  one  heard 
me,  "Lel'sall  leave  before  Fathercomes

I  ran  toward  the  gale  and  went  ihrough

breath  of  its  coolness.  My  Father  greeted 


me  wiih  a  warm  hug.  "Why  were  you 
not  in  there?"  I  asked. 

"Because  I  was  not  invited  to  the 
pany."  he  replied.  He  seemed  some- 
what ashamed. 

"From  now  on  I  will  personally  in- 
vite  you  to  wherever  1  choose  to  go,"  I 
promised.  He  looked  pleased.

5  of  It 


Marsa  is  working  toward  her  B.S. 
degree  in  math  and  leaches  one  of  the 
Basic  Math  cla.sscs  in  Daniels  Hall. 
Last  semester  she  taught  two  sectioas 
of  Basic  Math,  each  cbss  averaging 
about  20  studcnLs. 

"I  enjoy  il  [leaching]  when  I  see 
ihey  arc  learning  something.  Over 
fifty  percent  of  my  class  passes  the 
course."  said  Marsa, 

Students  musi  lake  Ihe  Basic  Math 
course  if  they  score  below  a  10  on 
their  math  ACT.  No  credit  is  given, 
but  ihe  class  prepares  them  for  Sur- 
vey of  Math  and  Inlroducdon  to  Ai- 

"I  think  for  having  to  teach  such 
basic  Ihings  like  addition,  and  sob- 
traclion.  she  docs  really  well.  Then, 
when  it  come.s  to  geometry  and  alge- 
bra.shec.^plainsevery  thing  clearly,"" 
said  Doreen  Schmidt,  one  of  Marsa's 
former scudenis.  "Shecan  leach  both 
levels  without  making  her  studenis 
feel   siupid  or  inferior,"  Schmidt 


Marsa  started  leaching  Basic  Malh  last 
yearduetothe  shortage  of  teachers.  She 
goi  the  job  the  summer  before  when 
Lawrence  Hansen ,  chairman  of  the  math 
and  computer  science  depanmenl.  asked 
her  if  she  would  be  willing  lo  teach  the 
class.  Her  pay  goes  directly  onto  her 
school  bill. 

Although  Marea  doesn't  plan  to  con- 
tinue herteaching  career  after  she  gr^u- 
ates,  she  is  doing  an  excellent  job  in  her 
Basic  Math  classroom,  said  Hansen. 
■"She  is  a  very  thorough  person,"  he  said. 
'"Wheo  she  was  a  senior  in  academy,  she 
wrote  the  math  depanmcnl  a  letter  ask- 
ing for  a  job  and  sent  a  professional 
resumewhhil.  We  were  very  impressed 
by  this.  We  have  few  students  request- 
ing jobs  in  our  dcpanmeni,  and  even 
fewer  who  write  a  professional  request. 
We  are  going  to  miss  her  when  she 
graduates."  he  said.

Nurses  improve 
student/faculty 
working  relations 


By  Angle  Earnhardt 

The  parade  of  nursing  students  begins 
at  approximately  6:15  a.m.  several 
mornings  each  week.  Sporting  their 
'  blue  striped  uniforms,  armed  with 
stethoscopes  and  penlighls,  these  early 
risers  file  into  the  wailing  vans  to  be 
whisked  off  to  various  surrounding 
hospitals.  Between  12;00and  1 :00p.m. 
the  "angels  of  mercy"  return  and 
quickly  scaner to  classes,  lunch,  orbed. 
There's  no  doubt  that  nursing  students 
are  definitely  busy  people! 

It  takes  deep  commitment  and  lots  of 
hanl  work  to  reach  graduation  day.  No 
one  says  that  nursing  is  easy,  but  meet- 
"ig  the  challenge  and  succeeding  is

also  attend  the  staff  meetings.  From  this 
interaction,  plans  for  a  more  diorough 
state  board  review— which  is  a  special 
concern  for  the  38  seniors  planning  lo 
graduate  in  May  and  take  boards  this 
summer — have  resulted. 

"By  choosing  representatives  this 
year  and  starting  the  faculty-student 
forum  meetings,"  says  Kathy  York 
senior  nursing  major,  "the  faculty  shi 
that  they  are  really  trying  to  improve 
communication  between  students  and 
teachers." 

Despite  the  long  hours  of  lab  and  the 
hundreds  of  pages  to  read  from  10- 
pound  books,  nursing  students  do  have 
fun.  This  year  the  nursing  club  has 
come  alive,  planning  parties,  vespers, 
and  fund-raising  drives.  One  such 
event  was  a  Halloween  party  held  at 
Southern  College  Nursing  Instructor 
Bonnie  Hum's  home.  Along  with  cos- 
tume judging,  junk  food,  and  pnzes. 
there  was  a  huge  pumpkin  pinata  full  of 
Halloween  candy. 

Another  party  held  before  Christmas 
break  showed  that  nursing  students 
havemany  hidden  talents,  such  as  bal- 
ancing ping-pong  balls  on  spoons  held 
between  their  teedi  while  racing  to  de- 
posit the  balls  in  a  cup  sitting  on  the 
floor.  And  they  thought  IV

the  seniors  io  capture  ihis  year's 
Rees  Series  championship  title. 
Together,  these  three  men  scored  a 
combination of6l  points  and 46 re- 
bounds. 

In  the  firslfew  minutes  of  the  half, 
seniors  and  juniors  traded  baskets  as 
Rob  Bovell  and  Mike  Hershberger 
ofthe  seniors  geared  t 


half-c 


;  before  the  "bomb" 
was  to  explode — from  the  cannon 
shots  of  Eric  Hope,  junior.  Hope's 
five  first  half  three-poiniers  and  six 
overall  shots  kept  the  juniors  oui-of- 
louch,  and  ihey  opened  up  a  14  poim 

The  defense  of  the  juniors  was 
equally  deadly.  They  forced  the 
seniors  to  take  poor  shots  and  after- 
wards captured  the  rebounds.  The 
minimal  amount  of  playing  lime 
from  senior  Dave  Nemess,  and  his 
scoreless  first  half,  were  noticeable 
crippling  wounds  to theseniorteam. 

The  juniors  went  into  thehalf  with 
a  solid  44-32  lead.  During  half- 
time,  the  Scoll  J-  Yankeleviiz

throughout  the  season. 

During  the  second  half,  the  jun- 
iors' inside  dominance  and  the  sen- 
iors' unlucky  shooting  became 
more  evident.  "It  seemed  that 
whenever  the  seniors  would  even 
think  about  getting  the  game  close, 
Eric  Hope  would  open  up  with  his 
three-pointer."  notes  his  last  year's 
Rees   Series   teammate   Maynard 

The  seniors'  fast  break  was  shut 
down  by  the  hustling  juniors.  In  turn 
it  was  the  juniors'  fast  break  that

Basketball  players  and  fans  look 
forward  to  the  annual  Rees  Series 
tournament,  which  traditionally 
ends  each  basketball  intramural 
season.  This  year's  19th  Rees  Se- 
ries championship  ended  Saturday 
night,  Feb.  18. 

The  Rees  Series  began  in  1971  as 
a  basketball  playoff  between  com- 
munity and  dormitory  students.  It 
was  originally  a  best  two-out-of- 
three  game  series  that  started 
Thursday  and  ended  Sunday. 
However,  by  1976  the  number  of 
dormitory  students  grew  large 
enough  to  make  it  impossible  for 
ihe  community  team  to  compete 
on  an  equal  basis. 

In  1977  the  fomal  was  changed 
10  make  the  Rees  Series  a  class

palingfromeachclass.  Each  team 
now  plays  two  games.  The  first  is 
against  a  pre-scheduled  team  and 
the  second  is  a  playoff  in  which 
winneis  of  the  fust  two  games

Frederick  Todd  Rimer 


Southern  College  siudenis  are  mourning  the  loss  of 
freshman  Todd  Rimer,  who  was  killed  in  a  tragic 
motorcycle  accident  Tuesday,  March  14.  He  just 
turned  20  years  old  last  month. 

"He  seemed  like  he  always  had  so  much  love  to  give 
everybody;  he  smiled  ai  everyone.  I  don't  think  he  ever 
met  anybody  he  didn't  like  or  befriend,"  said  Rimer's 
uncle,  Jerry.  "He  was  the  lillle  brother  I  never  had." 

"Todd  was  everybody's  buddy,"  said  long-lime 
friend  Debbie  Claik.  "I've  known  him  since  1  was  in 
second  grade  and  whenever]  ihlnkofToddlseehim

We  went  lo  academy  logether,  took  our  summer  camp

countless  gymnastics  trips  together.. .He's  so 
special...il's  hard  to  adjust  to  ihe  fact  thai  we'  I!  not  see 
his  smile  again  until  heaven,"  said  Clark. 

Rimer  was  struck  by  acar  traveling  in  the  opposite  di- 
rection, according  to  the  Hamilton  County  Sheriffs 
Depanmeni.  The  17-year-old  driver  of  Uie  car  lost 
control  and  went  off  ihe  shoulder  of  the  road.

According  to  Rimer's  uncle,  Jerry  Rimer.  Todd 
Rimer  was  on  his  way  lo  Cleveland.  Tenn.  to  buy  a  new 
seal  for  his  motorcycle  when  he  was  hit. 

The  accident  occured  shortly  after  8  a.m.  on  Tuesday 
at  Ihe  8500  block  of  Edgemond  Road.  Then  Rimer  was 
taken  to  Erianger  Hospital,  where  he  was  pronounced

Both  friends  and  faculty  enjoyed  Rimer's  friendly

Cheating  destroys 
honesty,  integrity 
of  its  participants 

-Mr  Erickson, !  don't  understand  this  question  on  the  mid- 
tenn  exam  "  As  I  asked  my  teacher  thai  queslion  I  looked  up 
and  glanced  around  the  room.  Straight  ahead  of  me  tvw 
students  were  blatantly  cheating  (discussmg  a  question  in 
great  depth) 

I  was  outraged  and  disgusted  bul  yet  I  didn  t  say  anything  to 
the  teacher.  Why  not?  Tm  not  sure.  ,        ,     ,     . 

Maybe  because  both  of  the  students  were  friends  ot  niine. 
I  didn't  have  the  guts  to  blow  the  whistle,  even  though  those 
two  students  cheating  could  possibly  lower  my  score,  atter 
Ihe  final  grades  are  curved. 

Cheating  has  become  too  accepted  among  students,  obvi- 
ously or  I  wouU  have  said  something  immediately,  bince 
sometime  in  fifth  grade  when  I  first  realized  such  a  thing 
occurred,  I  have  watched  this  action  with  dismay. 

Cheating  clashes  with  the  every  quality  SC  tries  to  build  in 
lis  students.  Integrity,  strong  character,  and  competence  are 
all  elements  opposite  of  cheating.  Take  a  minute  to  conjure 
up  in  your  mind  the  profile  of  a  successful  person.  No  matter 
what  their  position  in  life,  most  likely  that  person  will  be 
honest  and  sincere. 

As  Christians  we  should  strive  to  have  those  two  qualities 
foremost  in  our  character.  We  all  want  lo  be  respected  by  our 
peers,  and  the  most  effective  way  (o  earn  that  respect  is  by 
honestly  sttving  lo  do  our  best.  Being  honest  may  mean  the 
difference  between  an  "A"  and  a  "B,"  or  even  a  "C"  and  a 
"D,"  but  at  least  (he  tmthful  person  gets  what  he  honestly 
deserves,  and  is  building  a  character  to  last  a  lifetime. 

Probably  Ihe  worst  response  someone  could  have  to  the 
problem  of  cheating  is  apathy.  The  most  desired  reaction  is 
■  and  inspiration.  Be  conscious  o!  your 
to  be  an  honest  and  sincere  person.

5-year  accounting  program 
to  be  implemented  by  1992 


McFaddin  wins 
$500  for  essay 


8y  the  year  19')2,  accounting  majors 

degrtc  from  Soulhem  College. 

In  December  of  1988,  ihe  SC  board 
voied  10  implemeni  a  five-year  accouni- 
ing  program  by  Ihe  fall  of  1992.  This 
action  was  a  resull  of  Tennessee's  addi- 
lional  requirements  for  becoming  a 
CeitiriL-d  Public  Accountant  (CPA). 
The  stipulations  for  obtaining  the  CPA 
d^ignaiion  vary  from  siale  to  state,  but 
[he  American  Institute  of  Certified  Pub- 
lic Atcounianis  (AICPA)  has  issued  a 
regulation  forcing  all  slates  to  require  a 
five-year  degree. 

Chairman  of  the  business  department 
Dr.  Wayne  VandeVere  said,  "Appar- 
ently, the  AICPA  thinks  that  accounting 
professionals  can'l  learn  all  they  need  to 
know  in  four  years." 

This  action  could  affecl  Ihis  year's 
entry  level  students,  said  freshman  Har- 
vey Hillyer.  "I'mdefinilely  interested  in 
the  proposed  program.  If  I  stay  inter- 
ested in  accounting.  I'll  stay  for  Ihe  fifth 
year  and  gel  a  master's  degree,  because 
I'm  very  happy  with  my  classes  and  1 


"I'm  definitely  interested 
in  the  proposed  program. 
If  I  stay  interested  in 
accounting,  I'll  stay  for  the 
fifth  year  and  get  a 
master's  degree..." 

--Harvey  Hillyer 

advanced  class  in  financial  management 
and  analysis,  and  others,"  said  Vande- 

The  fifth-year  degree  wilt  take  one 
calender  year  to  complete.  "A  student 
would  need  to  take  12  hours  for  iwo 
semesters  plus  summer  classes,"  said 
VandeVere.  The  program's  beginning 
date  will  depend  on  how  quickly  addi- 
tional accounting  teachers  can  be  re- 
cruited, according  to  VandeVere. 


David  Haley,  who  is  currently  finish- 
ing his  master's  degree  at  Tennessee 
Technical  College,  will  begin  leaching 
at  SC  in  the  fall  ofl  989.  He  is  replacing 
Dr.  Bill  Richards,  who  left  his  full-lime 
teaching  position  in  the  business  deparl- 
meni  lasi  year. 

In  addition  to  Haley.  VandeVere 
would  like  two  more  teachers  to  join  the 


cess,"  said  VandeVere.  In  the  last  two 
years,  100  percent  of  those  who  look  Ihe 
CPA  exam  passed.  Thirty  students  from 
SC  have  passed  the  e.xam  in  the  last  six 

"We  want  to  continue  to  provide  Ihe 
training  required  of  accounting  gradu- 
ates." projected  VandeVere. 

"I  am  very  interested  and  impressed 
with  Ihe  business  departmeni."  said 
freshman  Tim  Bunill.  "I  was  hoping  it 
|the  new  program]  would  happen." 

"If  I  slay  all  four  years,  I  would  defi- 
nitely Slay  for  one  more  year  to  gel  a

The  endowment  funds  McClany  re- 
ceives go  into  an  account.  The  principal 
is  not  spent,  but  the  interest  from  it  is 
dispersed  for  student  scholarships. 
Interest  on  the  fund  last  year  was  8.1 
percent,  which  brought  approximately 
S300.000  in  scholarships.  "Hopefully,  it 
(the  interest]  will  be  better  this  year." 
said  McClany. 

A  small  amount  of  money  is  put  back 
into  the  principal  to  "help  offset  infla- 
tion, but  most  of  the  money  we  give  to 
students,"  he  said. 

In  December.  SC  received  $35,000 
from  the  William  Randolf  Hur.st  Foun-

grant  given  by  them,  and  McClany  will

was  $20,000, 

Another  large  grant  of  5120,000  will 
be  decided  upon  Ihis  month.  "I  think  we 
have  a  good  chance  of  getting  that  one."

Security  fights 
bad  guy  image 


BvB 


n  Kirslein 


Although  the  security  departmem  is 
besi  known  among  students  as  the  "bad 
guys"  who  give  out  lickeis,  security 
docs  have  other,  less  painful  functions. 
One  of  security's  functions  is  to 
check  all  SC  buildings  at  night.  Each 
building  hasasecurity  station  with  a  key 
punch  that  lelts  the  time  it  was  checked 
and  its  building  code.  A  security  officer 
punches  in  randomly  throughout  the 
night  indicating  at  each  station  that  a 
safety  check  has  been  made. 

Another  function  is  patrolling  the 
campus  during  sleeping  hours.  Security 
ensures  those  of  us  still  up  writing  late- 
night  lerm  papers,  folding  laundry,  or 
tossing  and  turning  in  bed,  that  evil  vil- 
lains wanting  to  break  in  and  destroy. 
stealer  damage  will  not  be  able  to  do  so. 

Security  also  provides  limited  trans- 
portation. Free  rides  are  given  to  SC 
students  who  need  to  reach  the  Medical 
Plaza  in  Ooliewah.  However,  assecuriiy 
ofHcer  Roy  Nelson  comments.  "We  will 
not  just  lake  someone  down  to  Puzzles 
Pizza.  This  ser\'ice  is  especially  de- 
signed for  those  who  need  medical  at- 
tention, but  have  no  way  to  get  there." 

Airport  and  bus  station  shuttle  services 
are  available  for  a  cash  fee.  which  is  not 
chargeable  onto  one's  account  and  must 
be  paid  for  in  cash.  "We  provide  trans- 
ponaiion  to  a  few  limited  places,  like  the 
airpon  and  the  bus  terminal,  but  do  not 
provide  wheels  for  those  needing  to 
work  off  campus."  says  Nelson. 

Most  SC  students  are  familiar  with 
parking  tickets  and  the  lack  of  parking 
places.  Security  also  handles  these  prob- 


"Security  is  here  for  the 
students...Someone  is

Biology  department 
repairs  nature  trail 


The  biology  trails,  which  wind  their 
way  over  and  around  White  Oak  Moun- 
tain, have  not  consistently  been  kept  up 
for  the  last  three  or  four  years.  White 
Oak  Mountain  overlooks  Southern  Col- 
lege from  the  West. 

According  to  Keith  Nelson,  a  junior 
biology  major,  the  trails  have  been  here 
since  before  the  college  ( 1 892).  Nelson, 
who  works  for  Dr.  Duane  Houck  in 
Hackman  Hall,  said  he  sometimes 
spends  eight  hours  per  weekclearing  the 


done.  During  the  1986-87  school  year, 
the  grounds  department  installed 
bndges  over  the  stream  on  White  Oak 
Mountain,  said  Nelson.  He  also  stated 
that  railroad  tie  steps  were  recently 
placed  at  the  beginning  of  the  trails,  with 
landscaping  done  around  them. 

Alan  Starbird,  a  junior  biology  major, 
and  Nelson  are  designing  a  sign  for  the 
trail  head,  which  is  behind  Summerour 
Hall.  Points  of  interest  markers  are  part 
of  a  long-range  renovation  plan.  I'd  like 
to  start  doing  it  [the  renovation)  this 
summer,  said  Dr.  Houck. 


Blanco  forms 
idea-exchange 

By  Darin  Slewarl 

Adventist  cognoscenti  have  for  sev- 
eral years  discussed  the  possibility  of 
organizing  as  a  group  for  the  purpose  of 
an  idea  exchange.  In  the  fall  of  1987, 
religion  professors  from  Andrews  Uni- 
versity took  initiative  and  informed  the 
Southern  College  religion  depanmem  of 
iLs  wish  to  pursue  organization. 

After  a  full  year  of  consideration, 
Southern  took  supportive  action.  On 
Oct.  9. 1988,  the  Adventist  Theological 
Society  (ATS)  was  fotrned  with  Dr.  Jack 
Blanco,  Chairman  ofSC's  religion  de- 
panment,  as  the  first  president  and  Dr. 
Richard  Davidson,  Chairman  of  the  Old 
TesiamentdepartmenloftheSDA  Theo- 
logical Seminary  at  Andrew's  Univer- 
sity, as  vice  president. 

The  ATS's  two  main  objectives  are  to 
provide  an  atmosphere  for  religion  pro- 
fessors and  scholars  to  openly  discuss 
religious  topics,  and  to  provide  an  at- 
mosphere for  religious  research.  Cur- 
rently, a  newsletter  is  being  published  to 
inform  ATS  members  of  any  research 
taking  place,  to  announce  the  location  of 
each  meeting,  and  to  pose  theological 
questions  to  be  discussed  at  those  meet- 
ings. Two  meetings  are  planned  for  each 
year — one  will  be  a  study  session  and  the 
other  will  be  a  general  meeting  in  which 
the  results  of  research  accomplished  will 
be  applied  to  contemporary  life. 
Membership  is  granted  by  the  soci- 


ommendation  of  two  members  and  the   i 
acceptance   by   the   recommendee  of 
membership   criteria.       Yearly   dues 
amount  to  $25  per  person.  SIO  for  a   i 
spouse  or  student,  and  five  dollars  for 
intercontinental  applicants.    Although 
the  ATS  was  created  by  theologians 
welcomes  anyone  who  has  the  desire 
discuss  centrist  Adventist  theology.

Security  officer  Nelson  continued.  "If 
you  have  a  complaint  with  security,  talk 
to  security.  Appeal  your  ticket  charge, 
and  most  likely  it  will  be  excused." 

"Security  is  here  for  the  students.  If 
you  have  a  problem,  or  if  no  one  is  in  the 
oRicc  between  the  hours  of  1 1  a.m.  and

TTie  winner  of  this  College  Bowl  sea- 
son was  Jeff  Grange's  team,  who  went 
into  the  championship  game  with  an 
undefeated  record  against  Roben 
Marsa's  team,  which  had  one  loss. 

Because  the  format  for  the  tournament 
is  double  elimination.  Grange  would 
have  had  to  lose  twice  in  order  for  Marsa 
to  be  the  season  champion.  Thus,  when 
Marsa  won  the  first  game  with  a  score  of 
330  to  170,  a  second  game  was  played  to 
eliminate  one  of  the  remaining  teams. 

The  second,  final  College  Bowl  game 
was  a  match  with  action,  suspense,  and  a 
controversial  ending.     With  only  20 

half,  the  score  was  205  to  190.  Marsa's 

"Name  the  Christian  authorofT'/ifCiA' 
of  God."  was  the  toss-up  question  read 
by  Haluska  in  the  final  seconds  of  the 
game.  Woody  While,  of  Grange's  team, 
pushed  his  buzzer  barely  before  the 
alarm  signaled  the  end  of  the  game.

signing  her  hean  out  to  Jesus  in  song. 

"1  enjoy  signing  songs.  It's  a  chal- 
lenge—especially the  fast  ones."  ex- 
plains Murray. 

After  talking  to  Dr.  Wohlers  in  late 
November  about  her  proposal  for  a  sign 
language  class,  it  was  approved  within  a 
month's  time  because  of  her  outstanding 

"I  used  10  help  leach  a  class  in  Bristol. 

Vermont  for  high  school  students  who 
were  interesied  in  signing."  says  Mur- 

She  first  became  fascinated  by  signing 
al  the  age  of  seven,  when  a  hearing- 
impaired  couple  became  members  at  her 
home  church  in  Bristol.  They  taught  her 
ihe  basics,  but  her  interest  became  so 
intense  that  she  later  acquired  educa- 
lional  books  on  the  subject  and  began 
teaching  herself. 


'"1  become  frustrated  if  I  can't  commu- 
nicate with  people  of  other  langungos. 
So,  in  order  to  relieve  that  frustration.  I 
learned  signing  in  case  of  future 
lers  with  the  hearing-impaired,"  Murray 
explains. 

Murray  speaks  some  French.  Spanish, 
and  Cherokee,  but  signing  is  the  only 
language  she  keeps  up  with. 

Signing  for  approximately  six  years 
now,  Murray  tells  o 
which  her  hobby  came  in  really  handy. 
"A  friend  and  I  used  lo  give  Bible  studies 
in  Bristol,"  she  says.  "One  would  give 
the  study  while  the  other  would  listen 
carefully  and  critique  afterwards.  Dur- 
ing Ihe  studies,  if  one  of  us  would  mn  out 
of  things  lo  say  or  get  stuck ,  the  olhe  r  one 
would  sign  helpful  suggestion:

"The  P.E.  depanmcnl  has  few  majors, 
but  provides  recreaiional  facilities  and 
programs  for  students.  It  provides  a 
service."  said  Greenleaf. 

"I'm  not  saying  Itiat  tiome  economics 
IS  more  important  than  college  composi- 
tion and  music  appreciation.  I'm  saying 
there  is  room  for  all.  There  has  to  be  are- 
organization.  I  believe  every  individual 
needs  training  in  home  economics. 
Adventisl  families  are  in  terrible  shape 
right  now.  and  Adventist  families  sian 
with  individuals,"  said  Fletcher. 

"If  wc  don't  take  responsibility  for  the 
importance  of  helping  people  learn 
about  healthy  Adventist  lifestyles,  then 
later  on  we  will  have  to  accept  the  conse- 
quences of  our  irresponsible  actions," 

'The  Academic  Affairs  Committee 
doesn't  feel  they  can  force  students  to 
take  home  economics  classes  j  ust  to  keep 
[the  department]  alive,"  said  Greenleaf, 
chairman  of  the  committee,  "The  fact  is, 
there  are  some  general  education  classei 
studenLs  are  taking,  like  nutrition  and 
Parenting  I  and  II.  They  have  justifiable 
enrollments,  but  not  enough  tooffset  low 
enrollments," 

Greenleaf  said  nutrition  and  Pareniing 
I  and  II  would  be  preserved  home  eco- 
nomics classes,  to  be  taught  by  the  P.E- 
and  education  departments,  respec- 
tively. 

"Food  service  administration  is  one  ot 
the  fastest  growing  occupations  in  the 
United  Slates.  More  and  more  Amen-

also  bakery  manager  for  the  Village 


"I'm  not  denying  we  need  home  eco- 

demning  Dr.  Fletcher.  But  we  need  lo 
make  calculated  and  critical  decisions. 
We  can't  do  anything  about  the  fact  that 
the  depanment  has  declined  like  it  has, 
but  we  are  responsible  for  adjusting  the 
program  accordingly,"  said  Greenleaf, 
"Wehavelo  ope  rate  thiscollege  within 
its  resources."  saidSahly.  By  closing  the 


home  economics  department,  "we  have 
recouped  our  resources  for  other  depan- 
ments  thai  are  more  Tinancially  viable," 

"The  philosophical  undergirding  of 
(he  department  is  to  teach  the  Adveniist 
lifestyle,  but  this  can  be  done  without 
home  economics.  Adventisl  lifestyle 
can  be  taught  in  religion  clas.ses,  and

By  Erich  Stevens 

Six  hundred  and  twenty-five  dollars  in  pxiie 
money  was  given  away  at  Southern  College's 
annual  Talent  Show  in  the  gym  Sunday  night.  All 
800  seats  were  filled  to  witness  the  program. 

"It  lasted  long,  but  die  people  stayed  with  us 
because  there  were  no  big  lags  between  the  acts. 
We  got  things  on  and  off  the  stage  as  soon  as 
possible."  said  SA  President  Mark  Waldrop. 

The  March  26  show  lasted  two  hours  and  15 
minutes.  Three  of  the  10  acts  featured  won  the 
largcstprizes.Theother  participants  received  S25 

Second  semester  newcomer  Shelly  Taylor  won 
the  first  prize  of  $150.  She  peri'ormed  "Wind 
Beneath  My  Wings,"  a  love  song.  Taylorhad  won 
third  place  in  a  high  school  talent  show,  but  this 
was  her  first  first  place  winning.  With  the  money, 
she  said.  "I'm  going  to  replenish  thefunds  I  use  on 


d  place.  1  thought  Shelly  Taylor 


The  other  student  judges  were  Delka  Anthony 
and  Jennifer  Eaton.  Faculty  judges  were  E.O, 
Grundset  and  Marcia  Woolsey. 

The  show  was  hosted  by  David  Denton,  who 


The  second  place  winner  was  Diane  Lee,  who 
was  accompanied  by  a  four-piece  band.  They 
began  practicing  the  day  of  the  show.  Lee  said. 
Lee  received  S75  for  singing  Whitney  Houston's 
"Where  Do  Broken  Hearts  Go?"  A-  romantic 
drama  skit  was  performed  during  the  song  that 
enacted  the  love  story  told  by  the  song's  lyrics. 
Lee  said  she  will  share  the  money  with  her  group. 

Coming  in  Ihitd  was  Daryl  Cole  and  Harvey 
Hillyer,  who.  for  their  comedy  skit,  called  them- 
selves George  and  Sam.  They  won  S50  for  their 
skit  "I  HATE  It  When  That  Happens!"  Colesaid 
he  is  going  to  buy  a  new  gerbil  cage,  and  Hillyer 
will  put  the  money  toward  a  surfboard.

"I'm  going  to  replenish  the 
funds  I  use  on  my 
extracurricular  activities." 


Disease. 

"David's  humor  was  great,"  said  Waldrop.  "He 
helped  keep  die  people  here." 

Waldrop  spent  72  hours  preparing  die  show, 
which  included  two  rehersals  and  arranging  the 
programs. among  other  things.  He  said  the  biggest 
problem  was  that  he  had  to  fill  in  for  Rcnee 
Johnson.  SA  social  vice  president,  who  was  at* 
tending  a  wedding.  However.  "Everything  went 
smooth."  he  said. 

Waldrop  said  the  show  cost  the  SA  $175  for 
sound,  lighting,  and  programs.  The  dean  of  stu-

Empty  tomb  gives 
hope  to  Christians 

I've  always  enjoyed  Easter.  When  I  was  in  elementary 
school.  Easter  meant  a  week  of  vacaUon  to  see  my  step- 
sisters, chocolate  bunnies  in  an  Easter  basket,  and  an  elabo- 
rate egg  hunt  throughout  the  yard  that  ended  in  special  prizes. 

When  I  grew  older  and  moved  on  to  academy.  I  gradually 
forgot  the  Easter  traditions  of  egg  decorating  and  no  longer 
expected  an  Easter  basket  filled  with  the  familiar  pink  and  yel- 
low marshmallow  bunny  treats.  Instead,  Igrewtoappreciate 
Easter  as  an  important  religious  holiday— a  celebration  of  the 
mirade  of  Christ's  death  and  resurrection. 

This  year,  Easter  has  taken  on  a  special,  new  meaning  (or 
me  During  the  past  two  weeks,  several  tragedies  struck  very 
dose  to  home  for  the  first  time  in  my  life,  A  vibrant .  energetic, 
dose  friend  was  killed  in  a  motorcycle  accident. 

His  life  was  taken  instantly— without  the  slightest  forewam- 

The  very  next  day.  my  19-year  old  cousin  was  diagnosed  as 
having  a  disease  called  systemic  lupus,  which  attacks  the  im- 
mune system.  There  is  no  known  cure  and  little  understand- 
ing of  the  disease. 

Again,  the  astounding  news  was  preceded  by  no  warning 
signals,  no  little  red  "danger"  flags, 

Everybody  knows  tragedies  like  these  happen  all  the  time, 
I  read  about  death  and  disease  in  the  newspaper  every  day. 
So  why  did  these  particular  cases  catch  me  off  guard? 

Maybe  because  they  struck  dose  enough  to  home  that  1 
m^lf  began  to  feel  vulnerable  to  the  death  and  pain  that  sin 
brings.  If  disaster  can  strike  at  my  close  friend  or  my  cousin, 
it  can  just  as  easily  strike  me. 

Thus,  (he  familiar  miracle  of  Christ's  death  and  resurrection 
also  begins  to  gel  more  personal.  I  appreciate  so  much  more 
fully  his  sacrifice  and  victory  at  the  cross. 

Because  I'm  a  Christian,  I  do  have  hope.  The  death  that 
binds  my  friend  is  no  stronger  than  the  death  that  bound  my 
Savior  on  that  first  Good  Friday  long  ago.  And  because  He 
nsse  and  lives  again,  the  grave  of  every  child  of  His  will  soon 
be  as  empty  as  His  was  on  that  first  Easter  Sunday.

'  $70,0 


Several  major  changes  in  Lynn  Wood 
Hall  have  been  made  through  the  years. 

In  1 924,  the  student  organization  put  on 
a  campaign  to  raise  $5,000  for  a  healing 
system.  Tlien,  when  the  science  building 
was  erected,  the  space  previously  used  by 
the  chemistry  laboratory  provided 
needed  office  space.  Also,  ihe  physics 
laboratory,  the  store,  and  the  post  of- 
fice— all  housed  in  Lynn  Wood's  base- 
ment  were  eventually  moved,  making 

additional  classrooms  available. 

In  1 956,  the  chapel  of  Lynn  Wood  Hall. 
which  then  contained  the  administration 


offices,  was  remodeled  and  enlarged- 
The  student  association's  drive  for  new 
seats  was  known  as  the  "SofI  Scats 
Campaign."  When  chapel  convened  on 
Jan,  4.  1957,  money, for  the  seats  came 
through  donations,  appropriation  from 
the  Southern  Union  Conference,  and 
even  digging  into  their  own  pockets. 

In  1967,  the  new  administration  build- 
ing presently  called  Wright  Hall  was 
built  and  administrative  offices  wen- 
moved  out  of  Lynn  Wood  Hall.  The 
move  provided  more  classroom-ipace 
and  offices  for  teachers  until  Lynn  Wood 
Hall  closed  down  in  ihesummer  of  1984, 
100  old  for  repairs.

New  club  offers  chance  to  perfect  nautics 


By  Tina  Frist 

-We're  going  lo  make  the  oiher  clubs  on  campus  look 
dull."  said  Mark  Peel,  ihe  major  organizer  of  ihe  dub. 
Peel  is  working  in  conjunction  with  Ron  Barrow,  in- 
stnicior  of  Soulhem's  sailing  class,  and  Marcie 
Woolsey,  SC  biology  professor. 

SC's  sailing  class  will  continue  to  be  pan  of  the 
curriculum.  The  purpose  of  ihe  sailing  club  is  to  give 
those  who  have  finished  Ihe  class  an  opportunity  to 
continue  perfecting  their  skills. 

Once  Ihe  club  is  in  operation,  anyone  can  become 
involved  in  Ihe  clubafter  they  pass  a  check-point  proce- 
dure that  will  deiemiine  their  skills  and  experience. 
Students  that  pass  the  regular  saihng  class  won't  be 
charged  when  they  lake  a  boat  out  to  sail- 

Southem  College  is  the  only  school  in  the  area  with  a 
sailing  program,  according  to  Barrow.  "True  education 
includes  training  for  constructive  ways  to  use  free 
time."  he  says.  Barrow  adds  that  the  Chattanooga  area 
is  one  of  the  most  conducive  to  the  sport. 

"In  three  years  1  have  taught  1 1 8  students  in  my  sailing 
classes  here,"  Barrow  said.  "Only  one  couldn't  com- 
plete the  class  because  of  severe  water-phobia.  Sailing 
is  something  anyone  can  do  and  learn  to  enjoy!" 

Many  of  Chattanooga's  wealthy  skippers  see  South- 
ern as  Ihe  only  institution  in  the  area  to  perpetuate  the 
skill  of  sailing.  They  are  desperate  for  crew  and  are 
presently  using  kids  and  grandparents  for  lack  of  help. 
Bairow  said. 

The  situation  not  only  gives  students  Job  avenues,  but 
creates  a  golden  opportunity  lo  make  a  statement  as  a 
Christian  institution  to  anon-Christian  public,  says  Bar- 


Sail! 


ing  is  a  sport  that  di 


't  involve  CI 


Southern  College  owns  this  sailing  hoatfoi 
members  of  the  sailing  class  or  club. 

"You  are  mainly  racing  against  the  clock."  Barrow 
explained. 

The  club  needs  more  boats,  which  will  only  come 
after  students  join  the  club.  Some  local  individuals 
have  already  expressed  a  desire  to  donate  their  exper- 
tise and  sailboats  to  the  club  (not  the  class],  said 
Barrow.  These  donations  will  be  accepted  as  soon  as 
the  club  is  established. 

Students  pay  a  SIOO  fee  to  join  the  sailing  class. 
Previously  these  dollars  went  into  a  general  physical 
education  fund.  Nowsutdenlsinlhesailingclubwillbe 
in  control  of  funds  and  activities. 

Anyone  interested  in  joining  the  club  can  call  Mark 
Peel  at  238-3356. 


Spring  Festival  Concert  attracts  700 


By  Andrea  Nicholson 
Seals  tilled  rapidly  Sabbalh  afternoon, 
March  18,  as  700  people  came  into  the 
gymnasium  to  enjoy  contemporary 
Christian  music  and  drama  perform- 
ances at  the  1989  Spring  Festival  Con- 

The  two-hour  event,  sponsored  by 
CARE  Ministries,  was  organized  by 
Allan  Martin,  student  director  of  Des- 
tiny Drama  Company.  Performers  in- 
cluded Ihe  "Empty  Vessels"  band,  the  5- 
4-1  male  quintet,  and  members  of  the 
Destiny  Drama  troupe. 

Bob  Manin,  saxophonist  and  former 
SC  student  who  is  cunenlly  at  South- 
western Adventisi  College  in  Kcene, 
Texas,  wasihe  featured  guest  performer. 
Martin  and  his  five-member  bai 
"Empty  Vessels."  performed  nine  ci 
temporary  Christian  numbers  during  ■ 


"I  thought  i

Band  members  included  Mark  Bond 
and  Kim  Deardorff,  both  former  SC  stu- 
dents who  now  attend  SAC.  played  pi- 
ano and  keyboards.  Darryl  Girrard.  also 
from  SAC,  played  a  third  keyboard,  and 
SC's  Randy  Minnick  and  Devin  Palmer 
served  as  minute  men  on  the  guitar  and 
bass,  respectively  when  the  band's  regu- 
lar bass  player  and  drummer  backed  out 
ai  the  last  minute  before  they  left  for 
Southern. 

"We  fell  like  Satan  was  really  working 
against  us."  said  Bond.  "But  we  just 
layed  it  in  God's  hands."  They  pro- 
grammed the  percussion  into  the  key- 
boards themselves  and  called  on  Min- 

"Bobcan  play  ameansax,"said  sopho- 
more Michelle  Ellioit.  "He  sure  woke 
everybody  up!" 

Manin,  along  with  keyboard  player 


Larry  Cooley.  recently  released  an  al- 
bum entitled  "Emply  Vessels."  Manin 
says  he  plans  to  relum  to  SC  next  semes- 

ing  degree, 

Martin  says  he's  not  necessarily  pur- 
suing a  professional  career  in  music  at 
this  point.  "It's  a  possibility  if  some- 
thing comes  up.  Whatever  the  Lord 
wills,"  he  said. 

Martin  plans  to  keep  the  band  together 
as  much  as  possible.  "It's  hard  to  make 
something  like  this 
people  graduating 
schools,"  he  said.  The  I

An  innovative  attitude  persists  in  the 
little  church  that  sits  on  a  small  rise  in

Mandarin  system 
replaces  Sydney 


Since  Sydney  was  installed  in  May  of  1987,  both 
students  and  librarians  have  had  "big  problems"  with 
ihe  software.  Peggy  Bennett,  the  head  librarian  of 

McKee  Library,  said  ihat  "even  librarians  are  having 
trouble  with  the  slowness," 

Benneil.  who  is  in  charge  of  the  Sydney  system,  said 
ihcrc  are  several  differences  between  it  and  the  new 
Mandarin  catalog  software  system  ihal  students  will 

Sydney  cost  the  library  SI 6.200  to  purchase  and  in- 
stall, not  including  ihe  SI.600  per  year  for  suppon. 
"Sydney  representatives  would  not  admit  ihai  our  li- 
brary is  100  big  for  the  sysiem,"  Bennett  said. 

However,  there  have  been  several  visits  by  Sydney 
represeniaiives,  including  the  vice  president  from 
Canada  of  the  company  Ihat  sells  the  system.  He  said 
thai  he  would  be  sure  to  improve  Sydney  or  give  a 
refund. 

After  II  months  ofwaiiing,  McKee  Library  has  been 
granted  a  refund  of  S20.000  dollars  to  cover  both  the 
sysiem  and  damages. 

The  new  Mandarin  Sysiem  by  Media  Rex  has  been 
demonstrated  to  Ihe  library  slaff  and  seems  to  be  what 
Ihe  library  needs.  At  a  cost  of  only  $5.000— wilh  S750 
a  year  for  support — the  Mandarin  Sysiem  has  been 
guaranteed  in  wrilinglo  respond  in  at  least  10  seconds. 

The  library  is  ready  to  recieve  ihe  new  sysiem  at  any 
time.  All  85,000  records  for  the  library  are  cunenlly 
stored  on  magnetic  tape  by  Solinet  [Southeast  Library 
Network],  Afier  those  records  have  been  transferred  to 
floppy  discs  (aproccss  which  lakes  four  or  more  weeks) 
and  sent  to  Media  Flex,  they  will  be  convened  to  the 
Mandarin  Sysiem.  Normally,  Media  Flex  charges  three 
10  10  cents  per  record,  bul  because  the  McKee  Library- 
is  the  first  inTennessee  to  receive  the  sysiem,  and  Media 
Flex  wants  to  see  how  it  will  work  in  ihls  area,  the 
process  will  be  done  free. 

McKee  library  staff  have  been  testing  Ihe  Mandarin 
Sysiem  wilh  sample  records  from  anolher  library  since 
last  October  and  have  been  unable  to  find  significant 
problems  with  Ihe  software.  If  things  go  as  planned,

...You've  been  working  on  your  schedule  for  the  upcoming  fail 
semester,  seen  your  advisor,  and  think  that  you  are  "all  set"  for  next 

But  unless  you've  read  your  catalog  thoroughly...think  again! 

When  it  comes  to  planning  your  college  curriculum,  there  are  many 
facets  of  the  overall  picture.  Most  students  are  surprised  at  how  much 
they  thought  they  knew,  but  don't.  Faculty  advisors  are  usually  helpful 
in  curriculum  planning,  but  all  students  should  take  the  time  to 
understand  for  themselves  exactly  what  is  required  of  them  before 
graduation. 

Take  this  quiz  to  test  your  awareness  in  a  few  of  the  areas  that

From  the  wnrkina  world 

Spring  break  isn't 
always  marvelous 


The  view 
from  here 

By  David  Denton 


.  Not 


I've  always  haled  spring  br 

but  because  t  couldn't  stand  listening  to 
people  [ell  me  how  much  fun  they  had 
while  I  invariably  had  to  work, 

I  never  leamed  my  lesson,  though, 
,\fler  eveiy  spring  break.  I  would  always 
slip  up  and  ask  somebody  about  their 
vjcalion.  The  conversation  usually 
went  something  like  the  following: 


Mf  So,  ho 
r/ienf:Oh,i 


1  Flor 


[he  Bahamas,  The  hotels  there  are  so 
nice;  they  really  pamperyou!  When  we 
aol  back  I  caught  a  plane  to  Maine  and 
went  lobster  fishing  with  my  uncle,  who 
owns  three  boats  and  gave  me  a  ticket  for 
a  Universal  Studios  tour.  So  naturally, 
that  meant  I  had  to  catch  a  plane  to  Los 
Angeles,  which  was  really  neat  because 
some  guy  tried  to  hijack  us.  but  I  tripped 
him  when  he  wasn't  looking  so  the  air- 


cute  guys  I  met  in  Hollywood — I  can't 
remember  their  namesexactly  bull  think 
they  were  movie  stars,  I  know  one  of 
them  was  named  Tom  and  he  had  really 
cute  black  hair — anyway  we  went  to 
Hawaii  and  I  saw  the  streets  where  diey 
used  to  have  all  those  car  chases  on 
Hawaii  5-0.  I  had  a  lot  fun,  but  I'm  glad 
to  be  back  at  school.  What  about  you; 
what  did  you  do  for  break? 

Me:  Oh.  I  had  a  great  time!  I  got  to 
watch  Little  Debbies  go  by  at  about  30 
cakes  a  minute,  although  on  Thursday 
we  did  get  up  to  32  cakes  a  minute.  Oh. 
and  Friday  the  dough  tank  overflowed. 

This  year,  however,  spring  break  was 
different.  I  took  off  work  and  went  to 
Florida  with  the  Destiny  Drama  Com- 
pany. We  had  nine  performances  sched- 

svith  pleasui^.  And.  believe  me.  it  was 
true  leisure.  This  being  my  fifth — and 
probably  last — year  in  Destiny.  1  wanted 
to  make  sure  Ilet  my  friends  know  how 
much  I  appreciate  them.  Because  of  the 
people  in  Destiny,  this  has  been  Ihe  best 
year,  and  best  spring  break.  I've  ever

Who  cares  what  Mrs.  White  says; 
Is  there  anything  she  doesn't  say? 


By  C.  David  Wlngale 

Take  a  moment  to  imagine  a  place  in 
time  before  ours.  You've  returned 
home  from  an  exhausting  hunting  trip. 
You  are  tired  and  hungry.  You  fling 
the  prized  fowl  you've  just  captured 
i  the  kitchen  table.  "Alright 
chop  it  up  and  cook  it;  I'm  hun- 
gry!" you  exclaim. 
Get  that  thing  out  of 


"You  n

Oh  mom,  I  don't  have  time  for  thai;

'Now  junior,..." 

'Oh  no,  here  it  comes."  you  think. 
Whenever  she  started  a  sentence  off 
"Now  junior,..,"  you  knew  you 
gonna  get  ill 

You  know  what  Mr.  Moses  says 
about  eating  blood,"  she  continues. 

Walking  away  with  supper  upon 
our  shoulder,  you  mumble  under 
Dur  breath,  "Mr.  Moses  says  this  and 
Mr.  Moses  says  that.  Is  there  anything 
Mr.  Moses  doesn't  say?!" 

Sound  familiar? 

When  I  was  first  baptized  into  the 
message  of  Jesus,  I  had  a  little  trouble 
with  thisMrs.  White  business  (that  and 
the  idea  that  there  were  aliens  on  other 
worlds  somewhere.  What  was  I  getting 
myself  into?)  While  I  had  fully  ac- 
cepted the  AdventJstmessage,Idid  not 
fully  accept  this  prophecy  mumbo-

is,  until  I  read  her  writings.  After  that,

There  is  remarkable  insight  in  His  gift 
and  anyone  who  opens  it  will  be  amazed. 
You  will  soon  find  that  it  is  not  a  list  of 
"can't  do's."  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the 
Spirit  of  Prophecy  calls  for  some  action.

Our  college  is  different  from  any  other 
college-  We  have  a  mission.  Along  with 
the  gift  came  responsibility.  Let's  sacri- 
fice a  few  years  of  worldly  fun  for  an 
eternal  life  of  having  a  heavenly  blast. 

I  feel  thai  people  who  see  Jesus  as  a 
rigid,  stem  individual  will  have  apleasant 
surprise  when  He  comes  again.  When 
there  are  no  more  dangers  of  sin.  then  the 
real  fun  begins!

Someone  once  asked  a  teacher  why 
God  doesn't  give  His  church  another 
prophet  as  before.  The  teacher  re- 
sponded. "Why  should  God  give  us  an- 
other prophet  when  we  do  not  appreci- 
ate and  listen  to  the  first  one?" 

Where  are  you  placing  die  gift  diat

Acts  tells  us  that  before  the  Spirit  of 
Pentecost  came  down  with  power  upon 
the  believers,  they  became  "of  one  ac- 
cord." Before  Ihedisciples  were  of  any 
good  to  Jesus,  they  had  to  come  into 
unity  of  feeling,  thoughl,  and  action. 

If  coming  into  "one  accord"  is  a  pre- 
requisite for  the  Latter  Rain,  then  by  all 
means,  let's  do  it!!  It  was  the  youdi 
who  started  the  proclamation  of  this

How  is  Shannon's  case  like  so  many 
teen  suicides  in  the  world  today,  and 
even  among  teens  in  oiu^  own  church? 
Many  SDA  youth  and  young  adults  feel 
unloved,  unwanted,  and  unimportant. 
They  long  for  someone  to  listen  and  to 

Bible  and  religion  down  their  thraots.

Accompanying  Mixon's  works  is  adisplay  of  vari- 
ous paintings  and  drawings  completed  this  year  by 
sophomore  art  major  Rick  Woolen.  He  has  submitted 
12  painiings  and  eight  drawings  for  the  exhibit. 

Though  the  two  artists  have  combining  their  exhibit. 
they  have  diverse  styles  and  personal  art-expressive 
enjoyments.  Mixon  finds  abstract  artwork  more  pleas- 
urable using  contemporary  designs,  and  bold,  brilliant 
colors.  By  seeing  objects  or  pictures  which  remind  her 
of  other  things,  as  well  as  by  observing  other  artists' 
works,  she  becomes  inspired,  she  said. 

Wooten.  who  enjoys  Patrick  Nacgle's  pieces,  says 
his  works  reflect  a  civilized  style  with  more  of  an 
emphasis  on  people. 

*'I  liked  the  drawings  best,"  said  Tina  Locks,  who 
toured  Ihe  exhibit  on  its  opening  night.  "They  showed 
a  lot  of  character-both  of  the  artist  and  subject." 

"Following  graduation,  Mixon  plans  to  teach  art  on  a 
secondary  education  level.  "The  exhibit  is  basically 
arranged  for  necessary  exposure,  as  well  as  bemg  a 
requirement  for  my  degree,"  she  said. 

Wooten  plans  to  use  his  talent  by  being  a  freelance 
artist  next  year.  He  will  be  running  a  body  shop  in 
Virginia,  and  liying  to  sell  his  artwork  on  the  side.  In 
the  year  following,  he  said  he  is  planning  to  attend  an

Lack  of  strong 
job  placement 
robs  graduates 
of  opportunity 

By  KevinGepford 

When  Kraig  Black  began  looking  for  a  job  in  Febru- 
ary of  his  final  semester  at  Southern  College,  he  was  in 
for  a  nasty  surprise.  His  resume  was  substandard,  his 
interviewing  skills  needed  polish,  and  all  local  jobs  in 
his  area  were  already  taken  by  students  from  nearby 
colleges.  Four  months  and  10.000  miles  later.  Black 
finally  landed  a  job  with  Vantage  Real  Estate  in  Dallas, 
Tex. 

Black  graduated  with  honors  from  Souihem  College 
in  1988.  After  applying  four  years  of  study  toward  his 
BE  A  degree  in  accounting.  Black  says.  "My  education 
was  definitely  beiier-ihan-average.  but  what  use  was  it 
if  1  didn't  know  how  to  get  a  job?  1  searched  in 
Chattanooga,  Atlanta,  Jacksonville.  Oriando,  and 
Houston  before  I  finally  found  work  in  Dallas.  My 
biggest  regret."  says  Black,  "is  that  SC's  only  effort  to

Many  Souihem  College  graduates  have  an  easier  lime 
finding  a  suitable  job,  but  both  students  and  administra- 
tors agree  that  placement  services  need  improvement. 

Patricia  Stewart,  who  has  worked  for  four  years  as 
Coordinator  for  Career  Placement  at  Andrews  Univer- 
sity, believes  the  problem  is  essentially  twofold:  first, 
students  do  not  ask  for  placement  services  coming  into 
school,  and,  second,  school  administralors  do  not 
understand  the  relationship  between  placement  serv- 


Stewart  believes  that  the  most 
sophisticated  "shoppers"  in  the 
education  market  turn  away  from 
Adventist  schools  because  they  see 
through  the  public  relations

Slewan  believes  that  the  most  sophisticated  "shop- 
pers" in  the  education  market  turn  away  from  Advent- 
istschools  because  they  see  throughlhepublic  relations 
rhetoric.  But  few  freshmen  have  the  foresight  to  ask 
about  the  placement  statistics.  "It's  really  a  wise 
approach  that  students  consider  Ihe  returns  on  such  a 
sizeable  investment  before  they  set  foot  on  campus,

Year-end  marks  final  checkpoint 


Farewell  Editorial 

By  Debbie  Clark 


A 


Beware  of  cliques 


IS  large  and 


Since  Adam's  Rrsl  nap,  man  has  required  ihe  presence  of 
companions  to  help  keep  his  spirits  up.  In  fac  ->"•-  ""'•'■  'he 
beginning  of  lime  known  to  us,  people  have  nee 
to  help  carry  ihc  load  of  this  life. 

There  is  a  problem  creeping  inlo  our  campus 
powerful.  II  is  ihe  ever  present,  ever  excluding  clique. 

A  clique  is  not  always  made  up  of  the  people  who  dnve  a  nice  car 
or  happen  lo  like  wearing  duckhead  pants  or  jusi  got  a  new  Rolex. 

In  fact  some  of  the  more  affluent  aren'i  even  in  on  the  clique. 

The  cliques  can  be  found  in  almost  any  walk  of  life  and  excludes 

people  from  a  group.which  goes  against  all  religious  standards. 
The  cliques  can  attack  anyone-from  the  most  innocent  to  the 

Sometimes  its  the  students  who  waA  three  jobs  and  take  2 1  hours 
a  week  who  fmd  themselves  in  the  clique.  Or.  it  could  be  the 
theology  major  who  can  not  wait  to  tell  the  world  about  Jesus,  but 
won't  even  say  "hi"  to  Marvin  at  the  Campus  Kitchen.  Or  it  could 
be  the  sociology  major  who  wants  to  work  with  orphans,  but  can't 
stand  the  person  down  the  hall. 

Life  in  a  clique  is  not  made  up  of  Preps  or  country  boys  or  even 
Forest  Lake  Academy  graduates.  Cliques  are  made  up  of  people 
who  can't  see  farenough  past  the  surface  of  their  own  shell  lo  bnng 
another  imo  the  conversation  at  the  supper  table. 
The  clique  is  a  lifestyle  we  choose  when  we  select  our  fnendsand 
who  we  with  to  associate  with.  It  seems  easy  to  Just  to  ignore  the 
needs  of  others,  and  they  will  go  away. 
Theywill!  BulthEnagain.somay  the  person  you  will  need  some 


There  are  countless  checkpoints  in  life— mo- 
ments when  summary  and  evaluation  of  the  past 
seems bolhappropriaieandnecessary.  Theclose 
of  this  school  year  is  one  such  natural  checkpoint, 
for  in  one  week  well  over  half  of  us  will  leave 
Southern  College.  Some  will  leave  for  a  couple 
of  weeks  andoihers  forjust  the  summer,  but  some 
of  us  will  be  gone  forever. 

In  this  fmal  issue  of  SoiifAer/i  Accent  Volume 
44  we  have  tried  totouchonafewofthis  year's 
memorable  moments,  in  addition  to  our  regular 
news  coverage.  I  hope  that  in  the  upcommg 
week,  each  SC  student  will  do  his  or  her  own 
evaluation  of  what  made  this  year  unique. 

The  Accent  itself  has  undergone  many  changes 
this  year,  due  in  large  part  to  the  change  of 
editorship  at  the  end  of  first  semester.  But  I  can 
speakforboth  Kevin  andmyselfin  staling  thaiihe 
main  purpose  of  this  year's  paper  was  to  be  a 
siudem  newspaper  which  accurately  reflected 
and  responded  to  the  thoughts  and  activities  of  Ihe 
people  it  served. 

As  I  look  through  the  seven  issues  that  have 
been  produced  this  semester.  I'm  thrilled  to  see 
the  names  of  1 03  SC  students  appearing  in  Accent 
mastheads,  story  bylines,  letters  to  the  editor,  or 
photo  bylines.  We  thank  each  of  you  for  putting 
your  time  and  effon  into  making  the  Southern 
Accent  a  much   more  interesting  and   well- 


rounded  sludenl  newspaper. 

The  Southern  Accent  staff  mis  semester  tias 
been  tremendous  and  as  editor  I'd  like  to  thank 
each  member  for  the  thousands  of  long  hours 
spent,  collectively,  working  with  vinually  no 
monetary  compensation.  I'm  forever  grateful  to 
each  one  for  supporting  the  paper  through  thick 
and  thin,  compliments  and  criticisms. 

I'm  deeply  indebted  lo  first  semester  editor 
Kevin  Waite  for  the  many  hours  he  spent  leach- 
ing me  the  entire  publication  process  and  for  re- 
programming  the  Southern  Memories  computer 
when  our  hard  disk  was  stolen,  so  that  this  last 
issue  could  be  made  possible.  I'd  also  like  to 
thank  Ron  Smith.  SC  journalism  professor,  for 
lending  the  Accent  his  newspaper  expertise,  lay- 
out suggestions,  and  overall  support. 

Remembering  the  days  when  we  felt  tired  and 
discouraged,  the  Accent  staff  would  tike  to  thank 
those  who  gave  us  encouragement,  moral  sup- 
port, and  helpful  suggestions  on  so  many  occa- 
sions. We  would  like  to  thank  the  teachers  who 
didn't  seem  to  mind  helping  us  make  up  tests 
missed  because  of  deadlines,  the  deans  who 
understood  our  need  for  numerous  late  leaves, 
and  the  faculty  and  administration  who  were 
always  willing  to  give  helpful  advice  and  gram 

Last  of  all,  I'd  like  to  commend  Southern 
Accent  editor-elect  John  Caskey  for  deciding  lo 
nin  for  the  office.  It  is  my  burden  that  the  students 
of  Southern  College  will  continue  to  have  a  cam- 
pus newspaperin  which  they  can  voice  their  opin- 
ions and  have  their  writing  published.  1  wish  him 
the  best  of  luck  in  preparing  for  nest  year.

such  feaiuresas  10-foot  by  30-fool  pano-

sequence,  natural  sound  effects  and 
original  soundtracks. 

These  features  will  combine  with  in- 
credible synchronization  of  music  and 
pictures  to  create  an  entire  range  of 
emotions  pertaining  to  the  '88-'89

Strawberry  Fesiival  is  geared  toward 
Ihe  students  of  SC  during  the  '88-'89 
school  year.  This  "larger  than  life"  re- 
production of  Ihe  year's  highlights  is  an 
attempt  to  show  ihe  students  some  great 
aciivitiesthat  they  missed  with  the  hopes 
they  will  decide  to  reium  next  year  and 
panicipaie  in  the  SA  activities. 

Although  Minnick's  staff  is  unpaid,  he 
has  been  fortunate  to  have  good  help 
from  dedicated  students  such  an  Kenny 
Zill  (next  year's  director),  Ervin  Brown, 
Ed  Schneider,  and  Bill  Fentress.  Min- 
nick also  gets  advice  from  Doug  Walter 
of  WSMC.  George  Turner  of  the  public 
relations  department,  Gary  Hoover  of 
Sound  Imagination,  and  Terry  Cantrell. 

One  difficulty  in  production  is  the 
problem  of  capturing  all  the  special 
moments  on  film,  Minnick  estimated 
ihat  for  every  good  picture  shot,  four 
better  ones  get  away  unfilmed.

5-year  education  program 
approved  for  1992  curriculum 


By  Tony  Thedford 

A  new  five-yearelemenlary  educaiion 
program  will  begin  for  the  1991-1992 
school  lerm.  Beginning  in  the  fall  of 
1991.  freshmen  elemeniary  education 
majors  who  complete  their  study  ai 
Southern  College  will  graduate  with  a 
masters  in  elemeniary  education. 

Dr.  Gerald  Colvin.  chairman  of  the 
education  department,  said  one  of  the 
reasons  for  the  program  is  the  sute  of 
Tennessee's  action  in  1992  to  discon- 
tinue the  four-year  elementary  educa- 
tiondegrees.  Thesiaiewillrequirefour- 
year  elementary  education  students  lo 
have  degrees  in  arts  and  sciences.  Be- 
cause the  state  will  still  accept  five-year 
degrees  in  education,  "we  thought  it  was 
the  way  to  go."  said  Colvin. 


Colvin  said  he  also  wanLs  education 
students  from  SC  to  have  the  advantage 
of  a  masters  degree. 

In  December,  the  college  board  ap- 
proved the  plans  to  build  a  masters  pro- 
gram, and  expects  it  to  begin  in  two

"This  coming  school 
build  the  curriculum  toward  the  five- 
year  program.  We  need  to  work  closely 
with  the  Southern  Association  of  Col- 
leges and  Schools  for  approval  of  the 
program.  We  will  also  submit  our  pro- 
gram to  the  state  for  accreditation.  The 
date  for  that  hasn't  been  set  yei,"  said 
Colvin.  "We  hope  we'll  be  approved." 

New  faculty  are  needed  for  the  pro- 


gram. The  department  has  hired  Dr. 
John  Green .  who  is  head  of  the  education 
department  at  East  Africa  University. 
He  will  be  joining  the  faculty  in  August. 
Also.  Mrs.  Helen  Sauls,  whose  husband 
will  chair  the  journalism  department, 
will  teach  at  least  part-time,  according  to 

Mrs.  Carol  Haynes,  who  is  presently 
teaching  in  the  department,  will  serve 
half-lime  as  the  director  of  the  Teacher 
Learning  Center,  said  Colvin. 

Colvin  will  no  longer  be  teaching  psy- 
chology. 

"We  don't  want  to  do  anything  that 
doesn't  have  quality...lhere  arc  guide- 
lines that  the  state  of  Tennessee  has  set 
up,  as  well  as  the  Southern  Association

College  president  dedicates 
knowledge  of  reupholstery 
to  beautify  campus  furniture 


By  Erich  Stevens 

If  you  think  the  new  furniture  in  the 
Talge  Hall  lobby  and  Student  Center 
look  great  then  think  Dr.  Donald  Sahly 
and  his  family.  After  all.  it's  their  work. 

Sahly.  Southern  College  president, 
takes  a  special  interest  in  the  interiors  of 
the  campus  buildings.  In  addition  to 
Talge  Hall  and  the  Student  Center,  he 
has  reupholsiered  chairs  in  the  Wright

"We  enjoy  doing  the  work  just  as  the 
college  needs  it,"  said  Dr.  Sahly. 

He  taught  the  trade  lo  his  son  and 
daughter.  Quentin  and  April,  two  years 
ago  after  moving  lo  Collegedale.  The 
pay  Ihey  receive  from  their  work,  helps 
to  pay  their  school  bills.

learned  the  trade  from  his  father,  grand- 
father, and  four  uncles  while  he  was  at- 
tending Canadian  Union  College  (CUC). 
He  worked  in  his  father's  upholstering 
business  when  ii  was  begun  on  the  CUC 
campus  in  1 95 1 .  The  business,  which  is 
still  operating  today  and  is  the  college's 
main  industry,  according  to  Dr.  Sahly,  is 
where  he  did  all  his  student  work.  From 
1966-1968  he  helped  his  father  and 
brother  run  a  furniture  business,  which 
included  furniture  manufacturing  and 
design  patterning.  Later,  in  the  summer 
of  1 969,  he  and  his  brother  ran  a  custom 
shop,  where  they  reupholsiered  the  inte- 
riors of  five  antique  cars  for  an  auto 

Dr.  Sahly  taught  the  trade  lo  his  wife. 
Weslynne,  as  well.  When  iheir  children 
were  young,  "I  used  to  help  with  the  work 
a  lot."  she  said.  Although  shedoesn't  put 
in  as  much  time  as  Quentin  and  April  do 
now,  she  still  helps  with  the  cutting  and 


sewing,  she  added.

Quentin.  April  estimates  that  her  father 
and  brother,  who  have  done  the  most 
work,  spend  as  much  as  !0  hours  a  week 
working  on  furniture. 
"My  husband  feels  that  besides  acollege 
education,  it's  also  important  to  learn  a 
trade,"  said  Mrs.  Sahly. 

"You  have  the  satisfaction  of  doing 
something  with  your  hands,  looking 
back  on  it,  and  being  proud, '  said 
Quentin  of  his  skills.  He  went  on  to  say 
that  the  work  gives  him  a  chance  to  talk 
to  his  dad  a  lot.  "It  helps  me  understand 
him,  I  think  it's  a  good  thing  for  father 
and  son  to  work  together." 

Mrs.  Sahly  said  she  enjoys  the  time 
working  with  her  children.  "It's  good  to 
do  a  job,  but  more  fun  when  you  do  it 
with  your  kids." 


Talge  purged 
of  contraband 

By  Keith  Juhl 
1  of  Men  Ron  Qualley  recently 
conducted  a  search  in  Talge  Hall  of 
rooms  that  were  reported  to  contain 
illegal  contraband. 

After  weeks  of  hearing  rumors  that 
several  rooms  contained  contraband, 
Qualley  confiscated  various  items. 
ranging  from  televisions  lo  porno- 
graphic magazines  from  four  rooms. 

"It's  not  something  I  always  do," 
said  Qualley,  "but  I  can't  ignore  in- 
formation without  checking  it  out." 

The  dean  was  well  within  his  rights 
to  search  rooms — with  or  without 
probably  cause — according  to  the 
Right  of  Entry  authorization  on  page 
1 1  of  the  Souihem  College  Student 
Handbook.  Il  stales.  'The  college 
reserves  the  right  for  a  residential  hall 
dean,  his  representative,  or  a  college 
security  officer  to  enter  and  inspect  w 
sludent'sroom  whenever  necessary." 

The  Student  Handbook  defines 
contraband  as  anything  students  are 
told  to  leave  at  home  by  the  deans  or 
things  that  are  contrary  to  the  relig- 
ious beliefs  of  the  college.  Some 
specific  items  include  rock  posters, 
fireworks,  televisions,  video  camera 

pornographic  magazines. 

One  anonymous  student,  who  was 
found  to  have  contraband  in  his  room, 
said  he  understood  that  his  television 
was  indeed  against  school  policy,  but 
felt  there  was  little  or  no  reason  for 
taking  it  because  "we  only  got  one

Kelkile,  refugee  from  Ethiopia, 
finds  success  in  Collegedale 


By  Tony  Thedford 

Sharew  Abate  Kelkile  will  celebrate 
his  one- year  anniversary  for  being  a  U.S. 
resident  ihis  weekend. 

Kelkile,  formerly  a  Ethiopian  refugee, 
came  to  this  country  through  Bridge 
Refugee  Services.  Ron  Smith,  assistant 
professor  of  SC"s  journalism  depart- 
ment, got  Kelkile  from  the  Atlanta  air- 
port and  brought  him  to  his  home. 

Smith,  acting  as  a  volunteer  sponsor  in 
the  program,  was  to  provide  room  and 
board  for  a  refugee  fora  maximum  of  six 
monihs,  or  until  the  refugee  can  make  it 
on  his  own.  Nine  years  ago,  Smith 
sponsored  two  Vietnamese  refugees. 

Kelkile  proved  to  be  easy  to  sponsor, 
according  to  Smith.  "As  soon  as  he 
arrived.  Sharew  was  anxious  to  find  a 
job."  he  said.  Within  two  weeks,  Kelkile 
was  hired  as  a  security  guard,  and  has 
since  found  a  job  at  an  athletic  equip- 
ment company. 

Afier  three  months  with  the  Smiths, 
Kelkile  was  able  to  get  his  own  apart- 
ment here  in  Collegedale.  "He  pur- 
chased his  firsl  car  widi  cash,"  Smidi

Dan  Jensen,  who  attended  Southern  College  for  three 
years  from  1984  to  1987.  is  currently  enrolled  ai  the 
College  of  St.  Thomas  in  Si.  Paul,  Minn.,  which  has 
over6.000students.  ■■Whilelwasastudemmissionary 
in  Korea,"  says  Jensen.  "I  realized  that  even  more  than 

U  em  ploy  men  L  St. 
TTiomas  has  an  excellent  business  program  which  is 
well-respected  in  the  twincilies,"saysJensen.  "But  the 
thing  that  really  attracted  me  was  the  description  in  its 
bulletin  of  the  placement  program,"  he  said. 

Sl  Thomas  has  devoted  an  entire  floor  of  one  build- 
ing lo  its  "Career  Resource  Center"  which  is  staffed 
with  six  full-timejobplaccment  and  career  counselors. 
Currently,  over  800  alumni  are  registered  at  the  center 
for  students  to  visit  at  work  and  ask  questions.  Some 
of  these  alumni  are  also  potential  employers. 
The  Career  Resource  Center  at  Sl  Thomas  is  so  busy 
that  Jensen  had  to  wait  three  weeks  for  an  hour-long 
interview.  The  center  conducts  mock  interviews,  or- 
ganizes job  fairs,  provides  video  in.struciion  on  resume 
writing  and  interviewing,  and  coordinates  a  Career 
Week  with  special  speakers  each  day.  says  Jensen. 

Jensen,  who  is  finishing  his  junior  year,  says  that 
"during  orientation  they  told  us  the  whole  point  of 
being  al  this  college  was  lo  gel  ajob.  To  tiiat  end.  we 
needed  lo  start  planning  for  our  first  jobs  at  the  begin- 
ningofourjunioryear.Theirsuppon  program  gives  all 
the  help  you  could  want  in  getting  Uiai  job,"  says 

"Southern  College  didn't  give  me  that  confidence.  It 
didn't  nurture  me  for  any  job  besides  a  denominational 
one,"  says  Jensen. 

St.  Thomas  has  a  strong  enough  reputation  in  the 
local  community  that  major  employers  make  recruit- 
ing visits  to  campus.  Pepsi.  UPS,  3M  and  other  major 
manufacturing  and  retailing  firms  visit  ihroughout  the 
year  to  interview  students.  One  major  accounting  firm 
even  visited  campus  to  give  mock  i 


e  attempt  ii 


■campus."saysBill 
Wohlers.  vice  presidenl  of  student  affairs.  "But  it's 
tough  because  we  are  still  in  a  buyers  market,  and  small 
college  like  us  are  aia  disadvantage.  I  think  that  the  Job 
Fair  held  early  this  semester  gave  us  strength  in  banding 
together  with  other  small  local  colleges." 

The  Career  and  Job  Fair,  held  at  the  Cleveland  Holi- 
day Inn  Feb.  10.  was  a  big  siep  toward  improving 
Southern  College's  career  placement  services,  says 
Wohlers,  The  fair  featured  about  35  area  employers 
and  several  speakers  who  spoke  on  finding  jobs  wiih 
the  government  and  evaluating  job  offers.  About  60 
students  attended,  and  several  held  interviews  with 
prospective  employers. 

The  problem  wiih  getting  regular  recruiters  on  cam- 
pus, says  K.R.  Davis,  director  of  testing  and  counsel- 
ing, is  that  corporations  are  cutting  back  on  expenses, 
and  recruitment  at  smaller  schools  does  not  seem  worth 
the  cost  to  them.  Davis  says  that  the  best  placement 
services  are  provided  by  individual  departments  on 
campus,  most  notably  the  business,  education,  nursing 
and  theology  departments. 

"We  really  nee^^  fulfil  the  statement  tiiat  'a  liberal 
education  makes  y3u  employable'."  says  Wohlers. 
"Our  liberal  arts  departments  need  lo  gel  into  tiie  mode 
of  thinking  about  job  placement,  beyond  their  tradi- 
tional objective  of  steering  students  into  leaching  posi- 


Iheextra  things  during  Iheircollege  career  that  will  help 
ihem  market  themselves  when  they  graduate." 

Davis  says  he  does  not  remember  any  Southern  Col- 
lege students  complaining  about  the  type  or  scope  of 
services  offered  to  graduating  seniors.  While  under- 
classmen commonly  use  the  testing  and  counseling 
office  to  select  a  major,  few  seniors  visit  lo  ask  for  help 
in  finding  ajob.  Beth  Malgady,  secretary  in  the  testing 
and  counseling  office,  says  "We  added  a  new  compu- 
terized se  rvicefordisiributing  resumes,  butfew  seniors 
have  used  it  even  though  it  was  advertized  in  both  die 
Chatter  and  Accent." 

This  service,  known  as  the  Human  Resource  Infor- 
mation Network,  is  a  computer  data  base  into  which 
job-seekers  may  put  their  resumes.  The  data  base  is 
used  by  many  Fonune  500  companies,  says  Davis,  as 


part  of  their  effort  to  find  suitable  employees. 

Davis  has  contacted  a  California-based  company 
which  maintains  a  bank  of  information  on  job  openings 
in  major  corporations  and  branch  offices.  The  com- 
pany provides  this  service  specifically  to  educational 
institutions,  and  is  expanding  eastward.  Southeni 
College  plans  to  use  its  services  once  they  become 
available  in  this  area. 
The  Counseling  Center,  located  in  the  student  center, 
maintains  a  bulletin  board  of  job  openings  which  are 
sent  to  the  S.C.  testing  office  by  government  agencies, 
schools  and  companies.  Other  services  include  resume 
writing  and  interviewing  seminars  and  videos  on  how 
to  get  a  job.  The  office  also  publishes  annually  a 
■■Resume"  placement  book  which  has  photos  and  bio- 
graphical data  of  graduating  seniors,  I 

"What  I'd  really  like  to  see."  says  Ron  Barrow,  vice 
presidenl  for  admissions,  "would  be  lo  have  a  profes- 
sional resume  writer  give  a  seminar  to  our  students  on 
what  to  include  orexclude  on  Iheirresumes."  Southern 
College  does  offer  one  class.  Business  Communica- 
tions, in  which  the  students  spend  about  a  week  com-  j 
posing  their  own  resumes. 

This  year  275  placement  books  were  printed,  and   j 
copies  were  distributed  to  SDA  denominational  ei 
ployers.  "I  guess  there  was  a  time  when  the  placement   | 
book  was  considered  adequate,"  says  Wohlers,  "b 
one  would  think  so  now.  We  really  need  to  do  m( 
help  our  seniors  market  themselves.    We  can  i 
encourage  them  to  come  to  Southern  College  and  then   | 
tum  them  loose.  We  need  to  develop  a  marketing  mwJe 
to  teach  our  students  how  increase  their  employabiiny 
during  their  college  career." 

"It's  obvious  we  don't  have  even  a  single  full-n 
person  in  this  area."  says  Wohlers.  "The  ideal  situauo 
would  be  for  us  to  have  a  full-time  pe^-on  and^J

Not  a  body  was  stirring

Neither  large  nor  small

Then  outside  of  my  door 

he  was  doing  his  job 

much  to  my  dismay 

not  having  a  ball 

1  heard  keys  rattling 

he  entered  the  next  room 

"sounds  like  an  R.A." 

as  behind  him  I  crept 

I  lept  to  the  closet 

only  to  see  him  return 

with  my  blanket  in  hand 

with  a  new  T.V.  set 

It  was  the  Dean  named

Love  is  tiie  only  true  source  of  happiness 


By  C.  David  Wingale 

Princess  Mona's  birthday' 
was  approaching,  so  ihe  King 
combed  Ihe  world  for  Ihc  per- 
fect gift.  Because  the  princess 
was  already  rich,  and  increased 
with  goods,  finding  such  a  gift 
was  laborious. 

During  his  global  search,  the 
King  soon  came  upon  The 
Road- 
While  il  appeared  long  and 
plain,  the  salesman  promised 
that  great  blessings  would  be 
given  to  those  who  dared  to 
travel  The  Road.  With  each 
step,  greater  phy.sical  and  men- 
tal power,  a  happier  life,  and  an 
overwhelming  spiritualness 
would  be  bestowed  upon  its 
travelers.  Not  only  would  The 
Road  help  perfect  the  walker's 
character,  but  a  city  of  pure  gold 
was  to  be  found  at  its  end. 

This  pleased  the  King,  so  he 
quickly  purchased  The  Road 
and  brought  it  home  to  the  prin- 
cess. Heexplained  its  blessings
