1  Southern's  enrollment  exceeds  expectations 


By  Warren  Downs

in  the  rise.  Accoitling  lo  Dr.  Green- 
f.  ihe  Vice-presidenl  for  Academic 
fiiirs.  the  sludeni  increase  is  due  lo  a 
couple  of  factors. 

s  pariiaHy  resulianl  from  the  many 
[changes  made  in  recruiting  .  Some  of

Advendsi  students  in  non-Adventisl 
high  schools,  and  improving  the  struc- 
ture and  awareness  of  scholarship  op- 
I  portunities. 

r  less  understood  component 
of  the  increased  enrollment  is  the  admis- 
sion of  siud.enls  on  academic  probation. 
I  These  students  either  have  a  deficiency 
in  one  or  more  areas,  as  determined  by 
the  ACT  exam,  or  have  a  poor  high

programs  hope  to  insure  the 
of  the  students  on  academic 
.  In  addition  to  limiting  the 
number  of  hours  permitted,  there  is  the 
increased  freshmen  orientation,  and  stu- 
dents may  also  take  advantage  of  the 
new  counseling  center  and  the  tutorial 

The  justification  for  Ihe  admission  of 

students  on  academic  probation  does  not 
come  from  the  increased  funds  received 
from  tuition  or  from  the  prestige  of 
having  more  students.  According  to  Dr. 
Greenleaf,  the  justification  comes  from 
ihepurposeofChristianeducaiion.  The 
purpose  of  Christian  education  is  not 
only  academic  but  evangelical. 

Dr.  Greenleaf  assures  thai  Ihe  accep- 
tance of  students  on  academic  probation 
will  in  no  way  endanger  Ihe  school's 
academic  reputation  as  no  student  will

By  John  Caskey  _ 

"A  mon  can  stand  olmosl  any- 
thing except  a  succession  of  ordi- 
nary days.'— Johann  von 
Goethe 

On  a  recent,  rainy  afternoon 
someone  said  to  me.  'This  place 
sure  is  boring,  I  can't  wait  until 
December.' 

"  What' s  going  to  happen  in  De- 
cember?' I  asked, 

"School  will  be  out  and  I  can  go 
home.     I  never  get  bored  at 

We  hove  all  experienced  bore- 
dom at  one  time  or  another  in  our 
lives,  But,  I  imagine  very  few  of  us 
have  ever  taken  the  time  to  con- 
sider the  cause  of  this  creeping 
malaise. 

Strictly  defined,  boredom  is  the 


state  of  being  fired  by  repetition 
or  tediousness.  To  put  if  another 
way.  boredom  is  what  hoppens 


ond  over  and  college  is  full  of  this 
repetition. 
College  students   go   to  the 


3  the 


fellow  students  and  listen  fc 
some  teacher  teaching  the 
same  subject  on  the  same  days 
of  the  week  for  weeks  on  end.  If 
would  seem  all  of  us  should  be 
victims  of  terminal  ennui. 

Why  is  it,  then,  that  some  of  us 
profess  to  be  bored  more  fre- 
quently than  others?  Theonswei 
to  this  question  requires  a  better 
definition  of  boredom. 

For  me,  the  definition  of  bore- 
dom is  failure  to  take  advantage 
of  the  moment.  We  are  all  guilty 


of  this  to  some  extent, 
fake  advantage  of  the  moment 
every  time  we  wish  we  were 
somewhere  else  or  that  the  situ- 
ation were  different  in  the  place 
we  happen  tobe.  Perhaps  things 
could  be  'better"  if  conditions 
were  different:  however,  in  dwell- 
ing on  our  wishes  for  the  future, 
we  rob  ourselves  of  the  present. 
Albert  Einstein  said.  "I  never  think 
of  the  future,  if  comes  soon 
enough " 

As  Chfistions. 
ture  holds  for  us  more  joy  than  will 
ever  be  possible  here  on  earth. 
Our  actions  in  the  present  pre- 
pare us  for  the  future.  But,  God 
did  not  put  us  on  this  earth  to 
torture  us  witti  boredom.  He  In- 
tends that  we  enjoy  life  to  the 
fullest.  By  living  a  full  and  exciting 


1/  the  fu- 


about  God's  plan 
for  us.  inis  mokes  taking  advan- 
tage of  the  present  all  the  more 
important.  By  failing  to  do  so,  we 
may  miss  out  on  something  God 
had  planned  for  us.  Enjoy  the 
present.  You  will  never  have  the 
opportunity  to  enjoy  if  again. 

So  next  time  you  ore  tempted 
to  say.  "Ttiere's  nothing  to  do 
here — I'm  bored.'  take  a  mo- 
ment to  ask  yourself.  "What  is  il 
that  I'm.  missing  out  on  light 
now?'  If  you  can't  think  of  any- 
thing, ask  a  friend.  'You  will  have

In  Talge  hall.  Dean  Qualley  demonstrated 
his  solution  lo  the  problem  of  size.  He  built 
a  bigger  office.  Now.Idon'i  see  why  there 
should  be  any  problem  with  a  head  dean  of

Improvements  seen  in  Men's  Residence  Hail 


By  Mark  Trenchard 

Tjige  Hall  is  once  again  echoing  with  the  sounds  of 
saws,  hammers,  and  painl  brushes.  Rcnovaiions  (his 
year  include  the  dean's  offices,  a  new  kitchen,  and  ihe 
vending  machine  room.  The  remodeling  ofHead  Dean

adjacent  room  transforming  ihe  previously  minule 
space  into  a  spacious  room.  The  room  was  left  useless

Dean  Qualley  did  Ihe  painling  and  much  of  Ihe  other 
work  himself.  Despite  Ihe  long  wait, dorm  residents  are 
enthusiastic  about  the  changes  taking  place  in  the  Head 
Dean's  office.  Resident  Assistant,  John  Sager  said  the 
new  expanded  office  will  provide  a  proper  place  to  hold 
staff  meetings  and  "more  room  for  guys  lo  come  in  and 
gel  to  know  the  dean  better."  Except  for  the  electrical 
work  in  Dean  Hobbs'  office  that  remains  unfinished, 
the  other  offices  are  now  coplete  thanks  to  the  efforts  of 
the  deans  themselves. 

The  yel-to-be-completed  kitchen  room  located  in  the 
basement  of  Talge  Hall  replaces  the  old  appliances  that

Does  something  look  diffcrcntin  the  Student  Center? 
Isn't  something  strange  going  on  in  there?  Hasn't  the 
appearance  of  the  Student  Center  changed?  Students 
are  asking  about  Ihe  Studeni  Center,  Several  changes 
have  been  made  in  the  parlor,  the  game  room,  the 
parlor,  ihe  game  room,  and  the  Student  Association 
offices. 

At  the  end  of  last  school  year,  the  parlor  was  re- 
carpeted  and  the  sofas  and  chairs  were  re-apolstered. 
This  summer,  a  game  room,  formerly  the  workroom  of 
Ihe  Strawberry  Festival,  was  the  major  sight  of  recon- 
struciion.  The  blinds,  painl,  pictures,  and  planis  have 
all  been  changed,  and  according  to  Beth  Malgadey.  a 
pool  table,  ping-pong  tables,  and  air  hockey  game  are 
all  soon  to  come. 

The  latest  change  in  the  Student  Center  has  been  Ihe 
relocation  of  the  Student  Association  offices.  The  S.A, 
offices  are  now  divided  into  two  separate  parts.  The 
president,  secretary,  and  Ihe  treasurer  are  in  one  office.

the 


things  you  can  accomplish  during  the 
school  year.  We  have  some  projects 
that  definitely  need  to  be  accom-

on  this  campus,  particularly  in  the  dor- 
mitories. We're  using  rooms  that  we 
haven't  used  for  several  years.  Those 
rooms  need  refurbishing.  They  need 
carpet.    They 


things.  The  income  from  the  addi- 
tional students  provides  a  means  to 
accomplish  these  things,  not  just  the 
dorms,  but  also  equipment  for  labora- 
tories and  classroom  facilities  and  so 
on.  We  can  begin  to  look  forward 
positively  lo  accomplishing  some 
things  as  we  did  last  year.  As  you 
know  last  year  we  totally  refurtiished 
Summerour  Hall  and  we  need  to  look

nity.  That's  not  going  to  happen  right 
away,  but  the  capacity  of  the  institu-

2.000,  We  would  really  be  crowded 
at  that  pace.  There  would  not  be  any 
more  room  available.

be  a  three-year  dip.  However,  the 
Southeastern  United  States  is  grow- 
ing rapidly.  The  population  is  in 
transition.  The  North  and  the  Mid- 
west are  moving  to  the  Southeast

through  that  slump  without  feeling 
the  significant  decline  that  well  be 
felt  elsewhere.  However,  there's  no

I'm  not  sure  if  we'll  do  it  this  year, 
but  at  least  it's  on  our  agenda. 
We're  also  talking  about  purchas-

We  need  to  tell  all  the  good 
things  that  we  can.  Do  you  have 
any  major  changes  in  mind  as  far 
as  policies  or  rules? 

There  have  been  no  real  signifi-

to  this  year.  The  dormitory  rules,

How  much  Is  enTollment  u| 
last  year? 

We  don't  have  a  final  figu 
cause  we  don't  finalize 
until  the  end  of  the  week.  The  final 
count  last  year  was  1326  students. 
We're  still  building  toward  a  final 
number  but  it's  presently  at  about 
1410  students,  which  is  an  increase 
of  84.  I  understand  that  there  were 
about  12  more  students,  who  have 
registered  since  registration,  so  we 
would  be  up  to  about  96  more  stu- 
dents than  last  year.  We  atso  have 
more  full-time  students  and  fewer

students  coming  from  outside  of  the 
Southern  Union  and  that's  where 
we'reshowingourbiggestgains.  The 
closing  day  of  enrollment,  we  had  49 
more  students  from  outside  the 
Southern  Union  than  we  had  last 
year,  I  think  students  from  other 
places  are  finding  this  an  attractive 
college,  mainly  because  we  have 
several  things  going  for  us.   First  of

I  think  so.  It  seems  like  things 
are  going  well.  I  was  impressed 
today  when  we  went  to  assembly, 
I  was  told  that  there  were  1.200 
chairs  on  the  floor  and  I  counted 
nearly  100  students  standing  in 
theback.  Thafsagoodstartwhen 
we  have  about  1500-f  students  on 
campus,  including  part-time  and 

some  have  work  programs  and 
other  things  where  they're  ex- 
cused from  assembly  attendance. 
Another  area  of  interest  is  the 
cafeteria,  I  was  told  that  700 
students  showed  up  for  supper  on 
Tuesday  night  after  registration. 
That's  the  largest  supper  group  in 
the  cafeteha  in  along  time.  All 
these  things  make  for  a  good  stu- 
dent body  and  a  good  school  year. 

Along  a  different  line,  how  do  you 
see  Southern  wtth  other  colleges  in 
terms  of  student  finances? 


with  the  e)rtras 
registering,  it  looks  like  it  may  get  up 
to  105  or  even  a  little  beyond  that. 

What  Is  the  total  enrollment  ca-

students  do  we  have  room  for? 

Well.  I  understand  that  historically.

However,  students  often  apply  to 
more  than  one  college — sometimes 
three  or  four  more — to  see  which 
college  offers  the  best  scholarships 
and  the  best  financial  aid  packages. 
That  directs  them,  so  we  always  know 
we  have  more  applications  that  ac-

schools.  We  had  a  good  year  last 
year.  We  had  an  increase  in  enroll- 
ment and  we  kept  our  budget  as  tight 
as  we  could,  so  the  school  showed  a 
small  net  gain.  However,  we  have 
some  debts  to  pay.  When  they  built 
the  dorms  back  in  the  late  70s  and 
Brock  Hall  in  the  early  80s,  they  took 
mortgages  on  them  and  so  we  have  a 
2.5  million  dollar  debt.  A  sizable  por- 
tion of  our  net  gain  that  we  gel  from 


ancing  a  budget  because  of  smaller 
income  and  greater  debts.  However, 
when  I  look  at  Southwestern's  finan- 

buildings  like  we  have.  Financially, 
they're  quite  stable  as  well,  though 
they  have  a  much  smaller  program 
and  a  much  smaller  school.  We  at 
Southern  feel  very  comfortable  in  that

That  gives  them  more  financial  stabil-

complish  so  much  with  what  we've 
got  and  that  kind  of  puts  us  in  a

we  had  to  let  some  faculty  go — 
some  very  good  faculty.  If  the 
students  are  satisfied  and  happy 
and  the  enrollment  numbers  are 
increasing,  you  can  build  pro-

gapore or  Bangkok  or  China  or  South- 
ern College.  The  thingthat's  different 
is  the  standard  of  living,  the  cultural 
environment  that  you  find  yourself  in. 
However,  there's  as  much  need  to  do 
good  and  to  help  others  right  here  at 
Southern  College  as  there  is  in  Africa. 
There  are  as  many  people  in  need

It's  probably  not  the  best  solution  to 
the  problem,  but  it's  the  best  solution 
we  can  find  in  dealing  with  what  we 
have.  It's  a  financial  situation. 
Should  we  provide  rehabilitation? 
Who's  going  to  pay  the  bill?  It's  not

I  wouldn't  say  that  the  youth  of  this

the  Adventist  Church  is  facing  some 
problems  and  looking  at  some  statis-

On  the  night  of  September  2.  a  differ-

tion and  the  upbeat  soundtrack  helped 

Then  came  the  mining.  Each  person

While  everyone  collected  new  friends,  some  collected  wonderful  prizes  as  well

It  could  have  been  a  slam-dancing  scene

their  first  (and  well  overdue)  load  of

Speeding  expensive  in  more  ways  than  one 


By  Jo-Anne  E.  Stevenson 

On  the  opposite  side  of  the  road,  a  deep  blue  1985 
Honda  Prelude  lay  in  the  gutter.  As  it  had  swung  out 
of  control,  the  car  rolled  and  with  a  brief  hesitation, 
rested  on  its  roof.  When  all  was  silent,  the  driver 
unleashed  himself  from  his  seaibeit.  With  enormous 
effon  he  pulled  himself  out  of  the  car  through  the  open 
sunroof.. .and  passed  out. 

This  is  the  story  which  Jason  Rivera,  a  freshman  ai 
Southern  College,  will  tell  you.  He  will  tell  you  that 
ihe  loose  gravel  on  the  side  of  the  road  was  partly 
responsible  for  his  accident.  But,  he  will  also  tell  you 
that  he  was  speeding  as  he  turned  the  curve  that  day. 

Rivera,  is  probably  only  one  of  the  many  who  speed 
on  the  rural  roads  of  Collegedale  every  day.  Every 
licensed  driver  has  read  or  heard  about  the  dangers  of 
speeding.  But  how  do  drivers  act  on  the  information 
they  recieve?  Authorities  have  posted  speed  limits  to 
remind  them.  Yet,  even  with  the  clearly  posted  speed 
limits  on  both  rural  roads  and  major  highways,  speed- 
ing remains  a  problem. 

Statistics  tell  us  that  speeding  is  the  biggest  factor  in 
fatal  accidents  throughout  Tennessee.  Other  research 
shows  that  your  chances  of  being  involved  in  an 
accident  are  much  greater  when  your  speed  exceeds 


the  posted  speed  limit;  hov

Next,  Carlos  Romero,  who  serve

year's  senate  function  as  a  team.  "I  invite  all  of  you  to 
run  and  see  what  you  can  do.  The  need  is  out  there.  We 
have  a  chance  to  be  more  active  than  in  years  past,"  he 
said.  Romero  spoke  of  the  senate  as  "not  just  a  social 
club,  but  a  functioning  body  to  belter  the  campus  and 
deal  with  student  concerns." 

Craig  Lastine,  S.A.  president,  spoke  next, exprssing

Kroll  closed  the  meeting  by  sharing  his  goals  for  the

called  attention  to  die  increase  in  the  number  of  pre-

He  explained  that  each  one  represents  5%  of  the  total

"I  jusi  can'i  get  that  song  out  of  my  head."  said  my  friend  as  she

Many  of  ihe  functions  of  our  brain  are  beyond  our  conscious

I  expect  people  will  certainly  be  excited  by 
this  new  cigarette  product  you've  developed. 
After  all,  what  could  be  more  enjoyable  than  a 
cigarelie  thai  produces  much  less  smoke  than 
[he  average  cigaretle?  Truly,  this  innovation 
will  shake  Ihe  tobacco  world. 

I  am  sorry  to  lell  you,  however,  thai  my 
mother  will  nol  be  taking  you  up  on  your  offer 
of  a  free  sample  of  this  new  cigarette.  She  has 
given  up  the  enjoyable  pasttime  of  smoking, 
and  I  don't  think  she's  going  to  be  interested  in 
taking  the  habit  up  again  in  the  near  future. 

By  die  way,  I'd  like  tocongralulate  you  on  die 
fine  magazine  you  send  to  my  mailbox  every 
month  or  so.  ll  is  truly  heartening  to  know  that 
there  is  a  company  out  there  which  cares  about 
its  customers  enough  to  stay  in  touch  with  them. 
Your  magazine  keeps  mc  informed  of  all  that's 
going  on  in  the  nation  affecting  smokers  (and 
former  smokers,  like  my  mom). 

For  example,  it  was  encouraging  lo  read  how,

Consistency  Needed 


imcs  these  rules  are  only  par- 
ially  enforced.  Astudentcame

The  student  handbook 
probably  does  nol  say  anything 
about  caffeine.  The  cafeteria 
does  not  serve  Coca  Cola  be- 
cause of  Ihe  caffeine  it  con- 
tains, but  it  serves  chocolate 
pies,  chocolate  cake,  and  oiher 


caffein 


stances.  The  Village  Market 
does  not  sell  Coca  Cola  either, 
probably  sharing  the  cafete- 
ria's reason.  Interestingly 
enough,  one  can  purchase 
Vivarin,    an 


medication,  which  contains 
caffeine  equivalent  to  the 
amount  in  two  cups  of  coffee. 
I  do  not  propose  an  amend- 
ment lo  the  dress  code  which 
would  allow  students  to  wear 
minis  and  shorts,  and  1  am  not 
encouraging  the  cafeteria  to  rid 
itself  of  all  caffeine  containing 
substances.  Imerely  think  ilis 
time  for  the  students  and  fac- 
ulty to  be  consistent.

Up  to  the  students 
again,  Video 
Yearbook  1989-90 


In  1922.  at  the  administrative  councilf 
Southern  Junior  College,  two  students, 
Merwin  Thurtier  and  Robert  Cowdrick, 
took  their  places  among 
tors.  They  had  come  to  present 
dent  body's  desire  to  have  a  printed  year- 

This  was  not  the  first  lime  the  subject 
had  shown  up  on  the  Ad  Council's 
agenda.  During  the  Lynn  Wood  admini- 
stration, the  proposed  annual  had  been 
rejected  on  the  grounds  that  such  a  proj- 
ect would  be  "copying  the  world."  Now. 
with  the  college  under  the  progressive 
leadership  of  the  new  president,  Leo  F. 
Thiel,  the  students  again  attempted  to 
make  their  wishes  known. 

It  is  often  said  that  history  repeats 
itself,  and  if  one  takes  a  second  took,  it  is 


coming  strikingly  similar  to  the  historic 
1922-23  school  year.  Again  Ad  Council 
has  met  to  discuss  a  yearbook  idea  initi- 
ated by  students,  this  time  a  video  year- 

Asin  1922,  this  year'sadministration 
has  been  very  supportive  of  the  idea. 
Yet.  as  in  the  past,  money  remains  a 
problem.  In  1922.  it  was  voted  that  the 
yearbook  project  not  be  funded  by  the 
college,  but  rather  by  the  students  them- 
selves. Jesse  Cowdrick  was  one  of  those 
students.  "We  all  pitched  in  our  own 
money,  two  or  three  dollars,  which  was 
a  lot  back  dien..,U  wasn't  covered  by  the 
tuition  or  anything." 

Now  it  is  up  to  the  students  again.  The 
Video  Yearbook  '90  production  budget 
is  solely  funded  by  up-front  student

Check  out  Southern's  various  campus  clubs 


By  Randal  Gilliam 

Campus  Clubs  aie  among  the  extracurricular  activities 
available  at  Southern  College. 

In  the  Biology  department  there  are  three  interre- 
lated organizations:  Tri  Beta  Kappa  Phi,  The  Biology 
Club,  and  The  Pre-med  Club.  According  to  Ihe  club 
sponsor.  Dr.  Marcia  Woolsey,  Tri  Beu  is  an  honors 
society  for  biology  and  other  closely  related  majors. 
She  listed  the  club's  two  main  functions  as,  a  social 
club  providing  an  opponunity  for  fellowship,  and  an 
organizailon  responsible  for  providing  its  members 
with  curreni  information  relevant  lo  the  field  of  biol- 
ogy. Tri  Beta  is  an  international  organization.  The 
clubofriccrsofTri  Beu  are;  President.  Kevin  Toppen- 
berg.  Vice-prsidenl,  Andrea  Achenbach,  Secreairy 
Siefanie  Scrvoss,  Trea.surer,  Shenie  Burk,  and  Histo- 
rian. Eileen  Lopez.  The  Biology  Club  is  a  separate 
organization,  although,  according  to  club  prsident, 
Jeff  Vian,  both  clubs  coordinate  many  of  their  activi- 
ties. Among  the  activities  he  mentioned  were  cam- 
pouts,  and  meetings  with  guest  speakers  lecturing  on 
topics  in  biology.  Jeff  is  also  a  member  of  the  newly 
formed  Pre-med  Club.  He  said  thai  the  primary  func- 
tion of  the  club  was  to  provide  an  opporluniiy  for  its 
members  lo  be  exposed  to  the  medical  profession.  He 
said  a  possible  activity  could  be  witnessing  a  surgery. 
Other  Biology  Club  officers  are:  Vice-president, 
Daryll  Wilkins,  Pastor,  Malt  Jones,' and  Secretary/ 
Treasurer.  Millie  White.  The  Biology  club  will  have 
its  first  outing  September  22  through  24  at  Abrams

tically had  to  gel  out  the  orange  flags  and  wave  his  amis  wildly  in  hope  that  vehicles 
would  notice  him  at  the  crosswalk;  however,  the  law  of  "pedestrians  have  the  right- 
of-way"  didn't  matter  to  most  of  these  zooming  cars.  Many  students  complained 
about  this  lack  of  safely  of  the  crosswalks — especially  the  walk  from  Thatcher  Hall

motorists.  There  are  also  several  signs  located  in  all  crosswalks  which  say.  "Stop

Q:  Is  peanut  butter  low  in  cholesterol? 

A;  Now,  now,..let's  remember  that  cholesterol  is  found  only  in  animal  products. 
Thus,  peanut  butter  has  no  cholesterol.  However,  there  is  a  catch— it  is  high  in  fat. 
is  a  great  source  of  protein  and  an  even  greater  source  of  calories— 95  per 
tablespoon-  There  isapproximately  1.5  tablespoonsofpeanulbutter  in  each  serving 
in  those  little  cafeteria  containers.  Thai's  142,5  calories! 


Q;  Why  is  a  high  fiber  diet  related  to  a  reduced  risk  of  colon  cancer? 


First  of  all.  for  those  who  are  not  familiar  with  what  a 

ine.  C:ertain  foods  such  as  red  meats,  fatty  foods,  and  th( 

of  chemicals  and  preservatives,  including  some  artificially 


colored. 

Uiese  foods  remain  in  the  colon  for  long 

periods  of  time  before  excreuon.  As  chemical  breakdown  takes  place  so  does 
something  similar  to  decaying.  This  process  causes  damage  to  the  lining  of  the 
le,  affects  normal  eel'  growth,  and  allows  for  absorption  of  carcinogens- 
producing  agents,  D.eiary  fiber  helps  our  systems  sweep  out  the  poisons 
from  die  colon  and  reduces  the  time  these  particles  remian  there.  This  m  turn, 
reduces  our  risk  of  developing  colon  cancer,  as  confirmed  by  Nutrition  m  Perspec- 
tive by  Kreuder.  According  to  Whitney  &  Hamilton's  book.  Understanding 
Nutrition.  Ihe  following  foods  are  rich  in  dietary  fiber:  peas,  brocolli,  cabbage, 
carrots,  com.  whole  wheat  products,  apples,  and  pears.  And  it  just  so  happen'- '  -' 
our  cafeteria  does  an  excellent  job  of  providing  us  wid 
fiber  to  choose  from.

K.R.  Davis  did  the  honors  at 
the  ribbon  cutting  ceremony  of

end  of  the  student  center  where 
the  Strawberry  Festival  head- 
quarters was  last  year. 

Once  the  doors  opened,  the  fun 
began.  Speakers  piped  jazz  tunes. 
"GLAD,"  and  "Take  6"  melodies 
throughout  the  center  as  students 
mingled  with  friends  and  viewed 
the  new  attractions. 

Video  games  lining  the  rear 
wall  caught  the  attention  of  sev- 
eral students,  and  S.A.  officers 
passed  out  free  quarters  lo  eager 
players.  Paperboy,  Tecno  Bowl. 
Pole  Position,  Ms.  Pacman,  and 
Galaxian  each  had  lines  of  eager 
players  waiting  to  top  the  score  of 
the  last. 

Others  quickly  paired  off  in 
teams  for  games  of  Ping-pong, 
jjool,  air  hockey,  and  foosball.  A 
soda  machine,  snack  machine, 
and  piano  completed  the  furnish- 
ings.

Meanwhile,  long  lines  formed 
into  the  student  center  lounge 
where  the  anxious  crowd 
awaited  the  results  of  the  "Love

the  computerized  dating  game  at 
registration  received  a  printout 
of  15  names,  along  with  phone 
numbers,  of  individuals  who 
answered  the  quiz  questions

By  David  Denton 

There  are  those  of  you, 
I'm  sure,  who  will  be  a  bit 
surprised  that  I  am  dealing 
with  the  subject  of  this  ar- 
ticle. I  do  not  usually  write 
about  religious  things,  not 
from  a  lack  of  interest,  but 
due  to  the  controversial 
nature  of  the  subject.  There- 
fore, let  me  offer  this  dis- 
claimer: This  article  was 
suggested  by  a  facuhy  mem- 
ber (who  shall  remain  name- 
less), and  was  suggested  last 
school  year.  It  has  taken  me 
nearly  a  year  to  decide  I 
wanted  to  follow  up  on  this 
teacher's  suggestion. 

It  was  pointed  out  to 
me  (as  I  said,  a  year  ago)  that 
there  is  an  interesting,  and 
ironic,  situation  existing  on 
our  campus.  To  be  more 
specific,  in  the  "Garden  of 
Prayer."  For  those  of  you  un- 
familiar with  the  "Garden  of 
Prayer,"  it  is  a  lovely  spot, 
filled  with  trees  and  grass  and 
benches,  as  well  as  squirrels 
and  other  assorted  objects  of 
nature,  such  as  flowers  and 
the  hke. 

There  are  three  points 
of  interest  in  this  garden.  The 
first  is  a  quotation  from  Ellen 
White's  little  book,  "Steps  to 
Christ,"  which  is  engraved  on 
wood  and  stands  at  the  back 
of  the  garden.  Directly 
opposite  this  sign  is  a  cross- 
section  of  a  very  old  tree, 
upon  which  have  been  laced 
little  markers  showing  how 
historical  events  stand  in 
relation  to  the  age  of  the  tree. 
It's  a  very  interesting  exhibit. 

The  most  intere.sting 
part  of  the  garden,  from  the 
point-of-view  of  this  article 
anyway,  is  the  third  point  of 
interest,  the  Ten  command- 
ments. Engraved  on  wood,  as 
the  "Steps  to  Christ"  quota- 
tion was.  the  Ten  Command- 
ments stand  tall  in  the  most 
beautiful  comer  of  the  gar- 
den. All  the  Commandments 
are  there,  and,  if  you  look 
closely,  you'll  see  something 
else  is  too.  Nailed  right 
smack  dab  in  the  middle  of 


the  Decalogue  is  a  small, 
wooden  cross. 

Now,  I  wonder.  Could 
it  be  that  unintentional 
though  it  was,  this  diminish- 
ing of  the  cross  in  relation  to 
the  Law  is  an  illustration  of 
what  is  happening  in  our 
church  today?  Those  who  in- 
sist on  elevating  the  Law  of 
God  to  a  higher  role  than  it 
was  intended  for  are,  in  es- 
sence, acting  out  that  scene  in 
the  "Garden  of  Prayer." 

To  the  Christian  who 
truly  accepts  divine  grace,  it 
should  be,  "...the  Cross,  first, 
last  and  always.  And  BE- 
CAUSE of  the  Cross,  the 
Law  has  meaning."  Too 
often  we  have  fallen  into  the 
trap  of  believing  that  the  Law 
has  the  final  say  as  regards 
our  salvation,  and  not  the 
Cross.  If  the  Law  has  the 
final  say  in  my  life,  then  I'm 
lost. 

As  Christians,  particu- 
larly as  Seventh-day  Advent- 
ist  Christians,  we  have  been 
at  the  forefront  of  those 
opposed  to  the  false  doctrine 
which  holds  that  the  Ten 
Commandments  were  nailed 
to  the  Cross.   Unfortunately, 
having  rescued  the  Ten  Com- 
mandments from  the  Cross, 
we  have  been  busily  nailing 
the  Cross  to  the  Ten  Com- 
mandments. Somewhere  in 
our  little  ignorant  hearts  we 
have  continued  to  suppose 
that  the  Cross,  and  its  salva- 
tion, is  dependent  on  the  Law 
and  its  observance.  In  truth, 
it  is  exactly  the  other  way 
around.  The  Law  and  its 
TRUE  observance,  is  depend- 
ent on  the  Cross  and  its 
salvation. 

Perhaps  I  will  get 
letters;  others  have.  Perhaps 
some  will  see  me  as  a  propo- 
nent of  "New  Theology,"  or 
"Fordism"  or  whatever  the 
term  of  the  day  is.  But  per- 
haps someone  else  will  stop 
nailing  the  Cross  to  the  Law 
and  learn  how  to  serve  God 
as  a  RESULT  of  salvation, 
rather  than  to  OBTAIN  salva- 
tion. If  that  happens.  1  won't 
be  so  hesitant  to  do  this  the 
.next  time. 


Men's  Club 
Plans  Cruise 

By  Suzanne 
, Lett  rick 


As  the  boat 
glides  through  dark  water, 
stars  gleam  on  the  people 
strolling  the  deck.  The 
sounds  of  laughter. 
mingled  conversations. 
and  Dixieland  music  float 
through  passengers'  ears, 
then  are  left  behind  in 
darkness  as  the  turning 
paddles  urge  the  Southern 
Belle  onward. 

This  isn't  an 
episode  of  the  Love  Boat, 
but  it  is  "A  good  time  to 
show  the  women  that  the 
men  of  Southern  College 
have  class  other  than 
third."  said  Dean  Qualley. 

This  year,  on 
October  15,  the  men's 
club  reinstates  its  ten- 
year  tradition  of  having  a 
Tennessee  riverboat 
cruise  (Expenses  prohib- 
ited this  from  happening 
last  year). 

Those  on  the 
cruise  will  enjoy  a  Mexi- 
can buffet  for  dinner.  En- 
tertainment will  "proba- 
bly consist  of  Dixie  music 
played  by  the  'boat 
people ' ,  although  most 
couples  will  supply  their 
own  (entertainment)!" 
said  Dean  Qualley.  Fac- 
ulty won't  be  paying  at- 

For  this  event, 
both  men  and  women  can 
do  the  inviting  but,  Qual- 
ley commented,  "I  think 
the  guys  should  ask  the 
girls  because  it  is  a  Mens' 
Club  event,  and  the  girls 
are  always  complaining 
that  the  guys  never  do  the 
asking."  He  went  on  to 
say  that  those  without 
dates  are  not  excluded, 
but  chances  are  that  they 
will  feel  left  out. 

Those  wishing 
to  go  on  the  cruise,  must 
sign  up  by  October  8  with 
any  of  the  men's  deans. 
Tickets  are  $15/single 
person  and  $30/couple. 

The  boat 

leaves  Ross'  landing  at 
6:00.  and  returns  around 
9:00  or  9:30.  No  trans- 
portation will  be  pro- 
vided. Attire  is  casual:

Helpful  Tips  on  College  Finance 


The  cost  of  college  li

four-year  education.  Landing 
financial  aid  is  becoming  more  of 
a  necessity  than  an  option.  Here 
are  some  simple  tips  on  how  to 
obtain  money  for  a  good  educa- 

1.  Contact  your  college  financial 
aid  office  fora  list  of  financial  op- 
lions.  There  are  also  credible 
companies,  like  College  Finan- 
cial Planning  Service  (CFPS), 
who  provide  lists  of  available 
grants,  loans  and  scholarships  for 
a  small  fee. 

2.  Analyze  your  financial  situ- 
ation honestly  and  apply  for  as 
many  programs  as  you  arc  eli- 
gible. Fill  out  the  fomis  accu- 
rately. 

3.  After selectingagood  financial 


aid  package,  negotiate  improve- 
ments with  your  college  financial 
adviser.  Also  thoroughly  investi- 
gate altcmadve  means  for  more 
support. 


College  Financial  Plan- 
ning Service  has  a  data  base  of 
more  than  180,000  listings  of 
scholarships,  fellowships,  grants 
and  loans.  It  offers  information 
about  donations  from  corpora- 
tions, memorials,  trusts,  founda- 
tions, religious  groups  and  other 
philanthropic  organizations. 


To  enter  the  program,  a 
student  can  call  1-800-346-6401 
to  request  a  "student  data  fomi." 
It  must  be  completed  and  sent  lo 
CFPS  with  $45  for  the  research 
fee.  Inabouttwo  weeks,  the  sm- 
dent  will  get  a  personalized  com- 
puter printout  of  financial  aid 
resources  that  matches  his  or  her 
background. 

Many  scholarships  are 
based  on  academic  interests,  ca- 
reer plans,  family  heritage  and 
place  of  residence.  There  are  also 
many  unique  sources  such  as 
money  for  students  who  have 
been  golf  caddies  or  newspaper 


In  the  words  of  one  finar 
cial  aid  expert,  unique  opportuni 
ties  for  monetary  support  do  exis 
you  just  have  to  be  crealivi 
resourceful  in  finding  them. 


Covenant  Players  Perform  at 
Southern  Clollege 


Crash!  In  what  appeared 
lo  be  an  embarrassing  fumble,  a 
young  man  lay  on  the  platform  of 
Thatcher  Sabbath  School.  How- 
ever, the  audience  soon  realized 
the  accident  was  only  a  bit  of 
impressive  acting  which  intro- 
duced The  Covenant  Players  to 
Southern  College,  and  taught 
them  a  lesson  as  well. 

Comprised  of  Donna 
Oglesby.  director,  and  three  other 
members,  the  group  performed  a 
series  of  four  short  plays.  Each 
play  prompted  the  audience  to  ask 
themselves,  "What  does  it  mean 
to  be  a  Christian?" 

Enjoyable  though  it  was, 
performing  at  Thatcher  Sabbalh 
School  was  not  the  main  purpose 
for  the  group's  visit  on  Southern's 
campus.  Allan  Martin,  dircclorof 
the  Destiny  Drama  Company, 
invited  The  Covenant  players  to 
help  instruct  for  Destiny's  first 
workshop  of  the  year.  Over  the 
weekend.  Destiny  and  The  Cove- 
nant Players  spent  many  hours  a 
day  working  together  as  they 
learned  the  seven  basics  in  drama 
ministry.  ThiswasDestiny'sfirsi 
time  logether  as  a  troupe  since 


auditions  closed. 

"I've  been  very  happy 
with  what  The  Covenant  Players 
have  been  able  to  do  for  us,"  re- 
ported Martin. 

Based  in  Oxhard.  Los 
Angeles,  TTie  Covenant  Players 
work  year-round,  traveling 
worldwide  to  spread  their  minis- 
try. They  are  a  nonprofit  organi- 
zation and  are  not  affiliated  with 
any  church  or  other  organiza- 
tions. TTieir  only  financial  sup- 
port comes  from  performing  en- 
gagements and  gccasional  dona- 
tions.   Any  money  earned  must 


then  pay  for  all  expenses. 

Because  Uie  players  try 
lo  keep  expenses  down,  they  of- 
ten are  not  sure  how  their  next 
meal  will  be  financed.  Yet 
money  does  not  seem  lo  be  a 
major  concern;  each  member 
works  on  a  full-time  basis  for 
the  group. 

The  Covenant  Players 
enjoyed  their  stay,  in  fact,  one 
member  was  so  impressed  with 
the  attitudes  of  the  students  on 
campus  thai  he  expressed  a  desire 
to  take  some  time  off  to  work  with 
Southern  College. 


Rape  Causes  concern  . .

to  know  what  happened.  Mon- 
day night  a  suspect  was  arrested 
but  had  to  be  released  due  to  lack 
of  evidence. 

When  asked  about  the  Sunday 
night  incident.  Dr.  Bill  Wohlers, 
Vice-President  for  Student  Serv- 
ices, gave  this  reminder:  "You 
can  never  take  anything  for 
granted,  even  in  Collegedale." 

In  a  special  program  on  sexual 
abuse  for  Thatcher  residents,  pro- 
fessionals from  the  community 
shared  their  stories  and  sugges- 
tions forgetting  help.  Ironically, 
the  program  was  scheduled  previ- 
ously. It  had  no  relation  to  Sun- 

A  film.  "Shatter  the  Silence," 
was  shown,  portraying  the  life  of 


a  girl  who  was  a  victim  of  incest. 
TTie  film  emphasized  that  there  is 
help  available.  According  to  the 
film,  the  victim  needs  to  realize 
that  she  isn't  at  fault  and 
shouldn't  be  embarrassed  in  dis- 
cussing what  happened.  Also. 
victims  should  talk  to  someone, 
and  not  give  up  if  the  first  person 
they  approach  doesn't  respond  to 
their  cries  for  help.  They  need  to 
look  for  someone  who  will  be- 
lieve and  be  willing  to  help  them. 
Group  therapy  is  also  helpful  by 
showing  the  victim  she  is  not 
alone  in  being  abused.  Shattering 
the  silence  in  talking  about  what 
happened  can  start  victims  on  the 
road  to  recover^'. 

Laura  Nyirady,  director  of 
Nursing,  shared  thoughts  and 
suggestions  during  this  special 


program  from  a  radio  program 
entitled,  "Victims  of  Rape."  The 
program  pointed  out  that  victims 
feel  helpless,  hopeless,  and  angry 
as  they  go  through  the  stages  of 
dealing  with  the  anguish.  Three 
suggestions  from  the  radio  pro- 
gram were:  let  go  of  the  bitter- 
ness, because  keeping  it  inside 
destroys  you.  become  grateful  to 
God  for  making  good  out  of  evil, 
and  give  God  pemiission  to  for- 
give the  perpetrator.  Until  you 
work  through  these  steps,  the  hate 
and  anger  will  not  leave  you. 

"There  is  no  shame  in  having 
been  abused,"  Robbie  Robertson 
says,  "but  I  have  never  worked 
with  anyone  who  didn't  feel 
ashamed,  or  guilty...  It  was  not 
your  fault  that  you  were  abused!" 
"If  you  have  been  abused  and 


are  in  college,"  continues 
Robertson,  "congratulate  your- 
self—you are  a  survivor."  The 
healing  process  is  different  for 
each  individual.  Each  is  affected 
in  a  unique  way  and  heals  at  her 
own  pace.  Talking  with  a  coun- 
selor will  start  the  healing  proc- 


ED/TORS  NOTE:  Robbie 
Robertson  will  be  offering  indi- 
vidual counseling  to  those  inter- 
ested, and  group  therapy  will 
soon  be  available.  If  anyone  is 
interested  in  either  or  both  of 
these  therapy  sessions,  call

A  Letter  to  the 
Editor 


Dear  Editor, 

Because  the  5th  Annual  South- 
em  College  Triathlon  was  held 
totally  off  campus,  not  many 
students  were  exposed  to  the 
quality  race  that  was  put  on  this 
year  by  the  Physical  Education 
Department  working  with  race 
coordinator.  Chris  Mitchell. 
The  planning  and  preparation 
was  evident  from  the  starting 
gun,  which  went  off  exactly  on 
time  at  8:00  a.m. 


Thes 


marked  with  buoys  as  well  as 
paddle  boats.  Plenty  of  life- 
,    guards  patrolled  the  course  in 
both  canoes  and  ski  boats.  The 
biggest  improvement  was  the 
centralized  transition  area, 
which  had  bike  racks  and  space 
for  changing.  Although  the 
running  and  biking  courses  were 
somewhat  shorter  this  year,  the 
roads  were  well  chosen.  They 
had  very  little  traffic  and  excel- 
lent road  surfaces. 


*  Call  security  to  accom- 
pany you  if  you  need  to  he 
somewhere  on  campus  after 
dark  (i.e.  Brock  Hall,  music 
building.  Iibrar>'.  etc), 

*  Walk  with  confidence. 
with  a  specific  destinaiion  in 

*  Checkunderyourvelucle 
before  getting  near  it. 

*  When  returning  to  your 
vehicle,  have  your  keys 
ready  in  your  hand  and 
check  inside  the  vehicle 
before  entering,  especially 
in  the  back  seat. 

*  When  going  on  a  date,  be 
sure  you  know  the  individ- 
ual well. 

*  Never  be  afraid  to  say 
"NO!"  if  someone  asks  you 
to  do  something  you  feel  un- 
comfortable doing. 

*  Ifsomeone  does  harm  you 
in  any  way,  seek  help  imme- 
diately. Don't  try  to  handle 
it  by  yourself. 


Tliank  you  for  a  good  race!

The  Man 
Behind 
the 
Beard 

By  Tammy  Wolcott 


The  lights  dimmed  and 
the  spotlight  focused  on  the 
stage.  An  elderly  man  with  a 
beard  appeared  at  a  side  door, 
limped  onto  the  stage,  sat  in  an 
antique  chair  and  started  to 
write  a  letter. 

The  play,  "An  Evening 
With  James  White"  was  per- 
formed September  30  at  the 
Collegedale  Church  by  Larry 
Richardson.  Richardson,  a 
Cleveland,  Tennessee  resident, 
works  at  a  retirement  manage- 
ment center  called  American 
Lifestyles. 

Richardson  graduated 
from  La  Sierra,  California  with 
a  B.A.  in  rhetoric  and  public 
address,  then  v/ent  on  to  take  his 
Master's  and  Doctorate.  His 
Doctorate  emphasis  was  in 
communication  theory,  which 
he  completed  at  the  University 
of  Southern  California. 
Richardson  and  his  wife,  Becky, 
have  two  children;  Lauren  who 
is  seven  and.  Daman  who  is 
nine  years  old. 

Since  religious  plays  are 
hard  to  find,  Richardson  said  he 
wrote  a  play  on  Martin  Luther 
while  teaching  Public  Address 
at  La  Sierra,  California.  "You 


^n 


tcnow  how  hard  it  is  to  get  a 
group  of  35  college  students 
together  at  the  same  time."  said 
Richardson. 

"So,  I  thought.  Why  not 
do  a  one  man  play?"  said 
Richardson.  He  decided  to  do 
one  on  a  founding  father  of  the 
SDA  church.  "Ellen  White  was 
the  most  obvious  but  I  couldn't 
do  her.  So  I  did  James,"  said 
Richardson.  "Not  many  people 
know  James  and  I  thought  it 
would  be  historical,  original  and 
an  educational  experience.  I 
was  going  to  call  the  play 
James"  nickname,  'The  Hothead 
at  the  Review,'  but  that  was  too 
insulting." 

After  doing  the  play  for 
the  past  ten  years,  Richardson 
now  only  performs  the  play 
about  two  or  three  times  a  year, 
unlike  the  15  times  a  year  when 
he  first  started  in  1979. 
Richardson  said  that  before  per- 
forming is  like  going  over  the 


hill  in  a  roller  c 


"I  use  all  of  James 
White's  actual  words,"  said 
Richardson  while  using  a  cotton 
ball  wet  with  rubbing  alcohol  to 
take  off  the  make-up  and  beard 
he  wore  during  his  performance. 
"I  try  to  be  as  faithful  to  the  man 
as  possible." 

'The  six  hours  of  mate- 
rial I  have  memorized  came 
from  many  sources.  One  is  the 
autobiography  of  James  White 
entitled.  Life  Incidents,  another 
is  Life  Sketches,  which  James 
White  wrote  part  of  with  his 
wife,  Ellen,"  said  Richardson. 
After  collecting  James  White's 
words  from  these  sources,  he 
said  he  organized  them  and  put 
them  down  on  paper. 

Richardson  has  produced 
a  video  entitled,  "An  Evening 
With  James  White,"  which  may 
be  found  at  the  Adventist  Book

Making  the  Grade  for  your  Peak 
Performance 


By  Robert  J. 
Kriegel,  Ph.D. 


"Overcoming  the  Gottas" 


Editors  note:  Robert  J. 
Kriegel.  Ph.D.— best  selling  au- 
thor, former  All-American  ath- 
lete, and  mental  coach  for  Olym- 
pic and  world  class  athletes — 
lectures  and  consults  with  major 
corporations  worldwide  on  peak 
performance,  leadership  and 
strategies  for  dealing  with 
change.  Kriegel  recently  took 
part  in  a  national  tour  of  college 
campuses  sponsored  by  the  mak- 
ers of  Nuprin  Pain  Reliever. 

The  alarm  sounds.  "6 
a.m.  I've  really  gotta  hustle.  I've 
gona  finish  that  outline,  talk  to 
Professor  Jones,  slop  by  the  lab, 
read  1 00  pages  for  my  noon  psych 
class  and  be  at  work  at  3  p.m." 

Today's  college  cam- 
puses are  pressure  cookers.  In 
fact,  the  Nuprin  Pain  Report,  the 
first  national  study  on  pain  in 
America,  documented  that  more 
people  1 8-24  suffer  forms  stress 
and  pain  than  any  adult  age  group. 
As  I've  toured  the  country 
visiting  college  campuses,  stu- 
dents tell  me  the  m 
causes  of  their  stre 
much  to  do,  too  little 
money,  relationshipj 
family  and  career  choices. 

So,  get  rid  of  stress. 
Right?  Wrong. 

Stress  is  neither  good 
nor  bad.  How  you  handle  it  can 
be.  Learning  to  make  stress 
work  for  you  can  help  you  con- 
centrate better  and  think  more 
clearly  under  pressure,  have 
more  energy,  be  more  creative 
and  make  college  more  enjoy- 
But  many  of  us  handle 
stress  poorly. 

Some  people  panic  and 
work  too  fast  under  stress.  Others 
procrastinate.  Neitherresponseis 
productive  and  both  are  caused  by 
what  I  call  "sabotage  thinking" — 
tions  to  stressful 
s  that  work  against  rather 
than  for  you. 

Two  common  types  of 
sabotage  thinking  are:  "the  got- 
tas" and  "the  can'ts." 

Let's  look  at  the  gottas 
and  methods  to  overcome  them. 
The  gottas  usually  occur 
when  you  think  you  have  too 
much  to  do  and  too  little  lime  to  do 
it:  "Igoltasludy  fortwoexams...I 
gotla  read  two  chapters... I  golia 


call  financial  aid  about  my  loan...l 
gottagetadate  for  Friday  night..." 

The  gottas  make  every- 
thing seem  harder  than  it  really 
is.  You  get  into  the  panic  zone, 
rushing  to  get  it  all  done.  You 
walk  too  fast,  talk  too  fast,  think 
too  fast,  write  too  fast,  eat  too 

think  clearly.  You  make  care- 
less mistakes,  blank  out  on 
exams  and  forget  things  you  al- 
ready know.  Everything  seems 
like  a  life  or  death  proposition. 

I  was  talking  to  a  junior  at 
U-C  Berkeley  who  had  a  bad  case 
of  the  gottas  about  a  forthcoming 
exam.  "I  gotta  get  an  A,"  he  said. 
I  asked  what  would  happen  if  he 
didn't. 

"If  I  don't  get  an  A.  I 
won't  keep  up  my  4.0  average- 
Then  I'll  never  get  into  a  really 
good  graduate  school,  and  then  I 
won't  get  a  top  job,  and  then  I'll 
never  make  a  lot  of  money..." 


By  the  end  of  his  dis- 
course, not  getting  an  A  on  this 
test  was  akin  to  his  life  being 
ruined. 

When  he  stopped  and 
thought  about  what  he'd  just 
said— that  if  he  didn't  ace  this  test 
his  life  would  be  down  the 
tubes— he  started  laughing.  "I 
must  be  crazy." 

He  was  not  crazy,  just 
not  thinking  clearly  or  realisti- 
cally. Many  of  us  get  thai  way 
under  pressure.  This  type  of 
desperation  thinking  makes  us 
overreact  and  causes  panic.  The 
cure  is  to  shift  from  irrational  to 
rational  thinking.  Do  a  reality 
check.  When  you  gel  the  gottas 
take  a  deep  breath,  exhale 
slowly  and  ask  yourself,  ":Whal 
is  the  worst  thing  that  could  pos- 
sibly happen?"  and  "How  likely 
is  that  to  happen?" 

This  type  of  reality 
thinking  puts  the  gottas  in  per- 


spective. Sure,  not  getting  an  A 
would  be  a  drag,  but  it  wouldn't 
be  the  end  of  the  world  nor 
would  it  land  this  A  student  in 
the  ranks  of  the  homeless. 

Looking  at  past  wins 
helps,  too.  After  all,  he  already 
had  a  4.0  average,  and  had  done 
well  on  difficult  exams  before. 
Reminding  himself  of  his  past 
success  on  similar  exams  helped 
him  relax  and  restored  his  confi- 

Gaining  control  of  your 
thinking  will  help  to  turn  despera- 
tion reaclions  into  peak  perform- 
ance actions.  Learning  Ihis  early 
in  life  will  be  invaluable  in  the 
future,  because  no  matter  what 
you  do  or  where  you  do  it,  there's 
always  going  to  be  things  you 
gotta  do. 


For  the  Health  of  It 


I  thank  those  of  you 
who  submitted  questions  for 
this  week's  printing.  How- 
ever, I  will  only  be  answer- 
ing those  which  are  directly 
related  to  health  and  medi- 
cine. So  for  those  of  you 
with  a  serious  interest  in 
your  health  I  invite  you  once 
again  to  drop  your  questions 
in  the  green  box  placed  at  the 
front  desk   in   the   smdent 


Q:  Can  you  explain  a  little 
more  about  the  measles  and 
the  possibilities  of  TN  be- 
coming involved  in  the  epi- 
demic? 

A:  As  the  announcement 
in  the  Chatter  said,  various 
counties  in  TN  have  al- 
ready experienced  out- 
breaks. Bradley  county, 
our  neighbor,  is  presently 
being  affected  by  the  ten 
day  measles.  .  And  as  of 
August  6  there  have  been 


By  Darlene  Almeda 

8,941  cases  of  measles  re- 
ported in  the  U.S.  Seventy 
colleges  and  universities 
have  also  been  affected  with 
this  highly  contagious  dis- 

The  main  symptoms 
of  measles  are  as  follow: 
cold  symptoms  for  about 
three  days  with  fevers  up  to 
104  degrees  or  even  higher, 
white  patches  in  the  mouth, 
and  finally  a  hairline  rash 
that  will  eventually  spread 
down  to  the  feet.  When  this 
disease  is  contracted,  you 
will  be  isolated  until  the  rash 
disappears-  This  may  be  1-2 
weeks.  Plea.se  don't  think 
this  is  solely  a  childhood 
disease  because  you  may  be 
in  for  a  surprise.  Those  who 
get  the  disease  at  a  later  age 
tend  to  get  a  more  severe 
type  of  measles. 

Besides  the  previously 
slated  symptoms  of  the  dis- 
ease there  are  varios  compli- 


cations that  may  arise: 
pneumonia,  swelling  of  the 
brain  due  to  infection,  even 
death. 

What  can  be  done 
about  this?  Get  vaccinated; 
if  you  haven't  already  that 
is.  The  Oootewah  Public 
Health  Department  located 
at  5520  High  St.  (behind  [he 
Baptist  church)  is  providing 
the  community  with  vac- 
cines any  week  day  until 
3:30p.m. foramere $2.00.  I 
must  say  those  $2.00  will  be 
the  wisest  investment  you 
will  ever  make  if  you  are  not 
vaccinated  yet. 

More  information 
about  measles  is  being  com- 
piled right  now  and  will  be 
given  to  all  the  students  here 
atS.C.  So  expect  some  very 
important  papers  in  your 
boxes  this  week  and  take  the 
time  to  read  them.  Your 
lives  may  depend  on  it.

of  presentation.  I  simply  share  the  blessed.  Don't  miss  Patricia. 

truth  about  how  trustable  the  Lord  . 


PatriciaWhite,  song- 
writer/singer, will  be  appearing 
in  sacred  concert  on  October  13 
at  8  p.m..  at  the  Southern  College 
church  of  Seventh-day  Advent- 
ists  in  CoUegedale. 

Patricia's  talents  are 
well  displayed  in  both  the  lyric 
and  music  of  her  original  songs. 
Her  first  album,  WHITE 
ROBE,  received  airplay  on 
Christian  radio  stations  all 
across  the  United  States.  An 
enthusiastic  response  followed 
with  comments  like  "A  refresh- 
ing new  sound!"  and,  "One 
great  LP!" 

Her  new  album.  LOVE 
WILL,  was  produced  in  Nash- 
ville, Tennessee,  with  such  top 
studio  musicians  as  Shane  Keis- 
ler.  Larrie  Londin,  Don  Potter 


and  Jon  Coin. 

In  concert  Patricia  shares 
herself  and  the  stories  behind  her 
music.  She  is  an  effective  com- 
municator, drawing  her  audience 
into  the  joy  of  praise  as  they  learn 
to  do  such  songs  as  the  "Praise 
Rap."  Her  rich  vocal  sound  has 
developed  over  years  of  experi- 
ence (beginning  at  4  years  of  age) 
in  performing  with  a  number  of 
groups  including  the  Heritage 
Singers  of  California. 

Juggling  a  family,  writ- 
ing, pefomiing,  and  recording 
are  several  full-time  jobs:  but  she 
seems  to  take  it  all  in  stride  and 
pulls  from  the  difficult  times  the 
humorous  incidents  she  shares 
with  her  audiences.  "I  think

by  Izear  Fcagins 

"Lord,  help  me!"  was 
ihe  cry  of  him  who  had  no 
desire  and  no  will  to  become  a 
student  missionary,  but  he  heard 


anyway.  His  name  is  Kyle 
Robinson,  and  the  voice  was  the 
Holy  Spirit. 

After  Kyle  decided  to 
become  a  student  missionary,  in 
the  Spring  of  1988,  he  went  to 
the  student  center  to  look  at  the 
call  book  and  was  moved  by  the 
Spirit  to  accept  a  call  to  Palau  as 

Several  months  later,  on 
August  11.  1988.  Kyle  was  at 
the  William  Hatfield  Airport  in 
Atlanta  with  no  plane  ticket  or 
passport.  He  had  thought  these 
items  would  be  there  waiting  for 
him.  They  weren't.  What  could 
he  do  but  go  home?  At  his  arri- 
val there,  he  found  his  ticket  and 
passport  on  his  front  porch. 
Thai's  when  he  realized  that  Ihe 
Lord  wanted  him  to  go  to  Palau. 

After  arriving  in  Palau 
on  August  18,  1988.  Kyle  was 
exhausted.  However,  the  people 
of  the  island  weren't  tired,  they 
were  excited  about  his  coming 
and  wanted  to  lake  him  on  a 
tour  while  they  got  acquainted. 
While  on  this  lour,  he  saw  many 
needs  and  people  whom  he 
could  encourage  and  teach. 


Soon  he  settled  in,  leaching 
Bible,  history,  U.S.  Govern- 
ment. P.E.,  and  more. 

As  a  missionary,  Kyle 
had  to  deal  with  many  new 
situations.  On  one  memorable 
occasion  he  spoke  with  a  stu- 
denl  whose  parents  had  died  a 
month  before  school  started. 
Alcohol  and  drugs  became  the 
only  family  he  knew.  Kyle 
saw  the  need  and  asked  for 
the  Loid's  help.  Aflermuch 
prayer  and  effort,  Ihe  student 
overcame  his  addiction  and 
accepted  the  Lord. 

When  Kyle  preached

Palau  to  preach  His  word. 

Even  though  Kyle's 
year  has  ended,  he  will  not 
give  up  the  work;  in  fact,  after 
he  graduates,  he  plans  to 
return  to  Palau  for  six  years. 

Presently,  Kyle  Robin-

parts  of  the  world.

Tennisanyone?  Orwould 
you  prefer  a  swim,  followed  by  a 
nice  run?  This  has  been  the  focus 
of  attention  at  the  P.E.  Center, 
entering  the  fall  semester  al 
Southern  College.  Increased  en- 
rollment last  year  and  money 
donated  by  The  Committee  of 
One-hundred  has  freed  up  funds 
to  improve  the  P.E.  department. 

The  Committee  of  One- 
hundred  donated  the  money  nec- 
essary to  fix  the  roof  of  the  gym- 
nasium, "which  is  a  huge  job," 
says  Phil  Carver,  department 
chairman. 

Kevin  Snider,  a  freshman 
and  one  of  the  belter  tennis  play- 
ers on  campus  is  very  impressed 
with  the  quality  of  our  newly  sur- 
faced courts.  Also.  "The  new 
rubber  track  is  fantastic  to  run 
on,"  says  Chris  Case,  a  junior 
Nursing  major.  Chris  continued, 
saying,  "TTie  soft  springy  surface 
allows  for  a  pleasant  exercise 
without  the  pain  of  hard  surface

Machado  Wins  All  Night  Softball  Tournament 


The 


Ail- 


Night  Softball  Tourna- 
ment was  held  Saturday 
night  October  7  after 
being  delayed  due  to  rain 
(he  previous  weekend. 
The  format  of  the  tourna- 
ment was  double  elimi- 
nation as  il  has  been  in 
previous  years.  How- 
ever, some  of  the  rules 
were  changed  this  year  to 
speed  up  play. 

Perhaps  the 
biggest  change  was  the 
reduction  of  the  number 
of  outs  per  inning  from 
the  traditional  3  to  2. 
This  rule  may  have 
changed  the  outcome  of 
some  of  the  games.  For  instance. 
John  Machado's  team,  the  even- 
tual tournament  champion,  was 
upset  and  sent  into  the  losers 
bracket  by  Angel  Echemendia's 
team.  "If  it  hadn't  been  for  the 
two  out  rule,  we  probably 
wouldn't  have  beat  them,"  said 
Echemendia. 

Another    proposed 


change  was  not  enforced.  The 
rule  in  question  would  have  de- 
nied home  run  hitlers  the  reward 
of  circling  the  bases. 

The  rain  delay  im- 
posed another  unusual  change  in 
play.  A  section  of  field  B's  out- 
field fencing  had  to  be  removed 
because  of  flagball  season.  The 
fence  was  replaced  with  rope  for 


Ground  balls 
which  rolled  under  the  rope  were 
ruled  ground  rule  doubles.  This 
may  have  handicapped  teams  that 
depended  on  speedy  base  running. 
These  changes  and  the 
"Fates  of  Softball"  conspired  to 
produce  a  night  full  of  surprises 
and  upset  victories.  One  big  sur- 
prise was  Jeff  Wood's  learn  elimi- 


Police  Investigate  Attacks

(Due  to  the  sensitivity  of 
this  article  the  names  and 
description  of  the  victims  and 
suspects  involved  are  not  in-

In  the  wake  of  a  second 
attack  on  the  campus  of  South- 
em  College  in  a  four  week 
period,  students  as  well  as  the 
community  are  being  careful. 
Both  victims  are  Southern 
College  students.  This  brings 


the  number  of  attacks  that  have 
occurred  in  the  last  seven 
months  lo  four, 

Collegedale  Police 
Chief  Dennis  Cramer  who  has 
launched  a  full  investigation 
said  that  three  women  reported 
they  were  raped  while  on 
school  grounds.  Each  victim 
was  grabbed  from  behind  and 
forced  to  go  to  an  isolated  area. 
One  of  the  victims  managed  to 
escape  before  being  raped.  At 
least  two  were  slightly  injured 
when  they  tried  to  fight  back. 


according  to  Collegedale  police. 

No  one  has  been  arrested 
in  connection  with  the  sexual 
attacks  but  at  least  one  person  has 
been  picked  up  and  taken  in  for 
questioning.  "We  do  have  some 
suspects,"  said  Cramer,  "and 
things  are  coming  in  every  day 
regarding  the  case." 

Cramer  said  that  one  of 
the  suspects  was  identified  in  a 
photo  line-up  but  when  the 
victim  saw  the  suspect  in  person 
she  was  not  sure  if  he  was  the 
assailant  or  not.

Bits  and  Pieces 


by  David  Denton 

Six  years  is  a  long  time 
on  a  college  campus.  A  gradu- 
ate, returning  to  school  for  a 
visit  six  years  later,  isl  likely 
going  to  fee!  a  bit  out  of  place. 
School,  life  has  gone  on  and 
forgotten  him.  His  face  has 
been  replaced  a  hundred  items 
over  by  new,  young  faces.  The 
hallways  he  once  walked  are 
now  recarpeted  and  covered  by 
new,  young  feet. 

Four  years,  maybe  five, 
usually  marks  the  passing  of  a 
student  from  freshman  to  gradu- 
ate. Those  who  stay  longer  are 
considered  to  be  "professional 
students"  in  no  hurry  to  leave. 
Myself?  I've  been  here 
going  on  six  years  now,  only 
four  of  those  as  a  student  (The 
rest  of  the  time  I've  spent 
catching  up  on  the  costs  of 
being  a  student).  I  haven't 
regretted  my  time  here  at  the 
college.  I've  always  been  able 
to  keep  myself  busy,  sometimes 
too  busy,  as  my  grades  can 
attest. 

In  my  six  years  at  South- 
em,  I've  seen  a  lot  of  things 
change.  New  faces  arriving,  the 
Morrises,  Malhises,  and  others; 
old  faces  departing,  the 
Wagners,  the  Chrislmans,  etc. 
I've  seen  the  demise  of  build- 
ings that  were  here  and  now 
aren't;  like  Jones  Hall,  which 
became  a  parking  lot.  I've  seen 
buildings  restored  like  Lynn 
Wood;  and  brand  new  buildings 
being  constructed,  like  Brock 
Hall.  This  isn't  he  same  school 
I  remember  from  1 984. 

Destiny  Drama  Co.,  my 
one  constant  over  the  years,  has 
changed  as  well.  Since  I  joined 
the  group  six  years  ago.  there 
have  been  four  student  directors, 
counting  myself,  five  or  six 
(depending  on  who  you  count) 
sponsors,  nearly  fifty  different 
members,  hundreds  of  perform- 
.  and  thousand  of  miles  of 
travel.  There  have  been  un- 
countable rewards:  new  fiiends. 
embarrassing  moments,  items  of 
ity,  and  spiritual 
fulfillment. 


Who  can  understand 
the  absolute  stillness  that  fell 
on  academy  audiences  as  Allan 
Martin  and  I  finished  the  last 
few  lines  of  "It's  a  Very  Cold 
Night."  And  what,  if  not  the 
movement  of  the  Spirit,  can 
explain  the  reverent  contempla- 
tion and  reflection  that  invari- 
ably followed  last  year's  per- 
formances of "Light  of  the 
Worid?" 

I  have  seen  the  Father 
working  in  the  lives  and  minis- 
try of  my  friends  in  Destiny. 

I  have  experienced  the 
down  side  as  well.  The  long

van  trips,  the  wrong  turns,  the 
poor  performances.  I've  seen 
members  leave  in  the  middle  of 
the  year  because  of  personal 
differences,  or  poor  grades,  or 
because  they  simply  had  to 
rearrange  priorities.  But 
through  all  of  the  mundane  and 
discouraging,  I've  learned  to 
love  Ihe  people. 


To  me  the  e 


eof 


Destiny's  personality  is  found  in

Letters  to  the  Editor 


Dear  Editor: 

In  the  last  issue  of  the 
Southern  Accent. !  wrote  an 
article  entitled  "Campus  Rape 
Prompts  Concern."  The  format 
was  designed  to  stress  the 
seriousness  of  the  incident.  I 
had  hoped  that  it  would  be  taken 
seriously  by  all,  and  that  the  tips 
would  be  followed. 

Monday  night.  October 
9. 1  was  bothered  by  the  news 


Dear  Students, 

As  supper  hour  hostess  I 
would  like  to  express  my  per- 
sonal appreciation  for  your 
cooperation  in  maintaining  a 
friendly,  responsible,  attitude  in 
your  lovely  dining  room  away 
from  home. 

I  receive  many  positive 
comments  due  to  your  friendly 
conversations  with  visiting 
guests  during  supper,  especially 
from  folks  not  of  our  religious 
persuasion,  and  Elder  Hostel 
guests.

that  an  attempted  rape  had  taken 
place  Sunday  night,  October  8. 
The  girl  was  walking  alone  at 
night  by  the  playground  at  iHe 
elementary  school. 

What  needs  to  be  said  or 
done  to  stress  the  importance  of 
using  common  sense?  Don't  go 
out  at  night  if  you  don't  have  to. 
If  you  must  be  some  place, 
PLEASE  take : 


It  would  be  unfortunate 
for  someone  attending  college  to 
have  to  leave  early  because  of  a 
trauma  such  as  rape. 

No  one  has  been  charged 
with  any  crime.  That  means  he 
could  still  be  out  there.  Protect 
yourself — use  your  head.  Don't 
fool  yourself  in  to  thinking  it 
could  never  happen  to  you, 
because  it  very  well  might. 

-Tamara  Michalenko 


Dear  Editor. 

I  am  writing  in  regards 
to  the  recent  lead  article  in  the 
Southern  Accent,  t  think  it  is 
good  that  the  story  entitled 
"Campus  Rape  Prompts  Con- 
cern" was  run  since  it  was  the 
focus  on  campus  for  quite  some 
time,  but  I  feel  it  was  written  in 
a  totally  tasteless  manner.  It 
was  not  necessary  to  publicize 
the  details  of  this  girl's  experi- 
ence across  the  entire  campus. 
Think  of  how  she  must  have  fell 
when  she  read  the  ariicle.  No 
one  in  their  right  mind  would 


want  to  find  a  story  about 
themselves  of  this  nature  pub- 
lished in  the  school  newspaper. 
And  really,  think  about  it.  these 
details  were  not  anyone's 

I  feel  the  appropriate 
follow-up  to  this  article  is  a 
written  apology  in  the  next  issue 
of  Southern  Accent.  Let's  try  to 
make  her  life  easier,  not  more 
difficult. 

Sincerely, 

Lorena  Wolff

Modern  Language  Department  Offers 
Adventures  Abroad 


Southern  College  is  a  stu- 
dent's ticket  to  experience  for- 


eign 

If  interested  in  traveling,  a 
student  might  want  to  consider 
American  Colleges  Abroad. 
ACA  is  an  association  of  eleven 
North  American  SDA  colleges 
and  universities,  including  South- 
ern, which  gives  students  a 
chance  to  study  in  oth( 


while  continuing  their  home  col- 
lege programs. 

Laura  Putnam,  a  junior 
who  went  to  France  with  ACA, 
said,  "I  think  it's  a  growing  expe- 
rience. Everyone  should  take  the 
opportunity  to  spend  time  abroad 
because  it  changes  the  perspec- 
tive on  life." 

Although  this  program 
especially  benefits  those  who 
want  to  major  in  a  language  and/ 
or  are  majoring  in  the  humanities 


Talge  Hall  residents 


in  San  Francisco 


area,  people  with  other  majors  are 
welcome,  too. 

When  a  student 
decides  to  go  to  a  foreign  college 
under  the  ACA  plan,  he  has  a 
choiceof  three  colleges.  Fees  for 
these  colleges,  including  tuition, 
room  ,  and  board,  are  paid 
through  Southern  College. 

While  away,  the  student  is 
still  considered  a  member  of 
Southern  College. 

If  interested  in  the  ACA 
program,  sec  Dr.  Helmut  Ott  or 
go  10  the  admissions  or  records 
olfice.  Students  should  apply 
the  spring  previous  to  the  year 
that  they  want  lo  go. 

Another  travel  opportu- 
nity for  students,  which  is  not 
yet  fully  approved,  is  hosted  by 
the  Modem  Languages  depart- 

Hclmut  Ott,  chairman  of 
this  department,  has  received 
permission  from  Southern 
College  to  take  intermediate 
level  Spanish  students  to  Mex- 
ico to  lake  the  Spanish  II  course. 


If  plans  work  out,  the 
students  will  be  staying  at  the 
SDA  University  of  Montemore- 
los  and  will  be  taught  by  Dr. 
Ott. 

Oil  said  the  only  thing 
that  needs  to  be  done  before 
these  plans  are  definite  is  to  get 
the  OK  from  the  university  in 
Mexico. 

If  approved,  the  program 
will  begin  this  summer  and  last 
for  approximately  six  to  eight 
weeks — six  weeks  for  school 
and  two  weeks  for  sightseeing. 
Only  ten  lo  twelve  students  will 
be  allowed  lo  go  on  this  trip. 

The  cost  for  the  program 
is  not  settled,  but  the  final  cost 
will  include  luilion  for  six  hours 
credit,  room  and  board  in  the 
university  droms,  and  traveling

anyone  wishing  to

dents who  enroll. 

David  Smith,  Eng- 
lish Dept.  chairman,  said 
the  class  helps  fill  a  "huge 
gap  in  the  curriculum." 

"In  the  past,  no  in- 
struction in  expository 
writing  has  been  provided 
beyond  college  composi- 
tion," he  said.  "Any  stu- 
dent planning  to  enter  a 
job  where  writing  skills 
are  important  would  find 
this  course  invaluable." 

Pam  Harris,  of  the 
Journalism  and  Communi- 
cations Dept.,  will  teach 
the  course.  She  has 
written  for  a  wide  variety 
of  publications. 

"Students  can 
expect  a  workshop  for- 
mat," she  said  about 
leaching  style.  "We  will 
read  and  analyze  a  variety 
of  writing — especially  pe- 
riodicals in  the  fields  of 
individual  students." 

"Producing  a  piece

will  be  one  of  the  projects 
ofthe  course."  she  said.

the  course  is  creating  en- 
thusiasm among  many  de-

"This  class  should

division  students,"  Smith 
said. 

Tentatively  sched-

and  Thursday,  the  class  is

"The  entire  Journalism  faculty 
and  students  who  register  for 
the  one-credit  course.  Commu-

This  year's  Busi- 
ness Club,  (Alpha  Kappa  Psi)  is 
determined  to  gel  everyone 
involved  in  the  activities  they 
have  planned.  In  fact,  to  get 
more  people  to  sign  up,  the  club 
gave  away  a  free  dinner  for  two 
to  the  Olive  Garden  to  Greg 
Glass. 

The  new  officers 
were  chosen  this  year  from  the 
executive  committee  nomi- 
natedlastyear.  They  are:  Presi- 
dent, David  Van  Meter;  V.P.  of 
Religious  Activities,  Ervin 
Brown;  V.P.  of  Public  Rela- 
tions, John  Negley;  V.P.  of 
Social  Activities,  Skip  Holley; 
V.P.  of  Records.  Gayle  Miller; 
and  V.P.  of  Finance.  Todd 
Werner.  Other  members  of  the 
executive  committee  include: 
Rob  Fulbright,  Don  Gates  and 
Chuck  Kendall.  This  year's 
sponsors  are  Kim  Arellano. 
David  Haley,  and  Dan  Rozell. 


The  book  is  an  account  of  police 
reporting  for  the  Miami  Herald. 

Pam  Harris  will  lead  the 
discussion  on  Sam  Donaldson's

Andrews  on  Linda  Ellerbee's

on  the  Poynter  Institute's  an- 
thology of  prize-winning  pieces. 
Best  Newspaper  Writing  of 
1988. 

The  course  has  two 
purposes,  said  Sauls.  "To 
provide  opportunity  for  students 
to  read  some  well-written  books 
about  communicators  and  com- 
municating and  to  give  them  a 
chance  to  interact  with  teachers 


and  classmates  in  discussing  the 
content,  meaning,  and  signifi- 
cance of  some  books  irnportant 
to  the  field  of  communication," 

Communicator's  Book- 
shelf is  open  to  students  who  are 
not  in  the  department,  said 
Sauls,  but  space  priority  will  be 
given  to  broadcast,  news-edito- 
rial, and  public  relations  majors 
and  minors.  "The  ideal  number 
for  this  kind  of  course  is  eight  to 
12,"  he  said,  "But  we  will  allow 
up  to  15." 

Students  who  want  to 
reserve  a  place  should  sign  up  at 
the  Department  of  Journalism 
and  Communication  in  Brock 
Hall.

missionary. 


Puerto  Rico  two  months  ago  to 
be  an  English  teacher,  but  when 
I  arrived  I  found  another  supr- 
ise.  I  was  going  to  teach  the 
two  subjects  I  hated  the  most 
"math  and  science."  What  an 
adventure!

Besides  unexpected 
surprises  an  SM  gets  a  chance  to

Just  for  the  Health  of  It 


Q:  Is  there  a  s 


; for  acne? 


A:  The  phrase  "sure  cure"  is 
pretty  powerful.  First  let's  dis- 
cuss what  acne  is.  Acne  vulgaris 
occurs  when  thcducisof  the  seba- 
ceous (oil)  glands  gel  plugged 
with  bacteria,  sebum  (oil),  and 
dead  cells.  When  this  material  is 
oxidized  it  takes  on  a  black  color. 
This  is  not  dirt.  We  call  them 
blackheads  or  comedos.  Pimples 
will  then  form  when  continuous 
pressure  from  the  oil  brakes 
through  the  walls  of  the  ducts  and 
escapes  into  the  tissue  to  cause 
swelling  and  redness.  Scarring 
takes  place  depending  on  the  ex- 
tent of  damage  to  the  duct. 

As  far  as  acne  control  is 
concerned  you  will  be  relieved  to 
learn  that  no  relation  has  been 
made  between  acne  and  diet.  So  if 
you  do  not  mind  the  fat,  sodium, 
sugar,  calories  and  chemicals  in 
junk  foods  go  right  ahead.  But  do 
remember  that  a  balanced  diet  is 
the  key  to  health  maintenance. 
Nevertheless,  allergies  to  choco- 
late look  very  similar  if  not  iden- 
tical to  acne.  So  if  you  break-out 
afier  eating  chocolate  products 
take  the  possibiities  of  allergic 
reactions  into  consideration. 
Also  hormone  imbalances  will 
affect  oil  production  thus  increas- 
ingtheriskforacne.  Thismaybe

squeezing  pimples.  Yes,  Iknow 
I  am  asking  alot  from  you  but 
this  may  cause  permanent 
scarring  and  further  infection. 
Another  vital  factor,  ladies,  is 
make-up.  By  trying  to  cover  up 
pimples  with  make-up  and 
concealer  you  may  be  aggravat- 
ing matters  because  of  their  oil 
base.  If  you  absolutely  cannot 
do  without  make-up  give  water 
based  cosmetics  a  try. 

Useful  medications 
include  antibiotics.  These  must 
be  prescribed  to  you  by  your 
physician  not  your  roommate's 
cousin  who  just  happens  to  have 
some  left-over  from  his  pubes- 
cent years.  Retin-A  is  another 
frequently  used  prescription 
medicine  which  supresses  the 
sebaceous  glands  and  yields  and 
anti-inflammatory  effect. 
Widely  known  over-the-counter 
remedies  such  as  those  contain- 
ing benzoil  peroxide  will  help 


2  the  rate  of  n 


vcell 


growth  thus  aiding  the  dead 
ones  to  slough  off.  All  these 
methods  of  control  should  be 
supervised  and  approved  of  by 
your  physician  or  dermatologist. 
And  last  but  not  least  be 
aware  of  the  fact  that  acne  is  not 
related  to  unclean liness,  dietary 
discrepancies  nor  aberrant  social 
behavior  as  much  of  the  unedu- 
cated public  wishes  to  believe. 
Now  you  know  better.

Frequent  and  vigorous 
scrubbing  and  washing  of 
affected  area  should  be  avi 
especially  during  the  cold  and 
dry  winter  months.  Once  or 
twice  a  day  with  a  mild  soap 
will  suffice.  Also  abstain  from 


Q:  Which  is  better  for  you: 
walking  or  jogging? 
A:  Walking  and  jogging  have 
both  been  labeled  as  great  forms 
of  cardiovascular  exercise.  Yet 
many  authorities  agree  that 


between  the  two,  walking  is  the 
better.  The  main  reason  for  this 
conclusion  is  that  walking  does 
not  jar  the  ankles,  knees,  or  hips 
as  jogging  does.  Our  joints 
were  not  designed  to  receive  the 
high  impact  caused  by  each 
bounding  step  in  a  job.  Have 
you  heard  of  low  impact  aero- 
bics? Well,  walking  holds  the 
same  principle  thai  doing  the 
optimal  amount  of  cardiovascu- 
lar and  high  endurance  exercise 
with  the  lowest  risk  of  injury  or 
damage  to  the  joints. 

Walking  is  indeed  an 
aerobic  exercise.  I  am  not 
referring  to  the  leisurely  strolls 
one  takes  at  the  mall  but  rather 
to  a  brisk  walk  with  arms 
swinging  at  the  sides  and  torso 
aligned  with  the  legs.  To  make 
the  most  of  your  walks  and  to 
get  maximum  cardiac  results, 
aulhorites  suggest  that  you  walk 
for  30  minutes  3-5  times  each 
week.  The  regularity,  my 
friend,  is  the  key.  One  can  only 
reach  his  highest  level  of  health 
through  regular  exercising. 
Because  walking  is 
aerobic  it  will  bum  not  only  fat 
on  your  legs  but  throughout  the 
enitre  body.  When  walking,  the 
back  and  abdomen  get  an 
excellent  workout  by  keeping 
aligned  with  the  legs.  Since 
mile  for  mile  jogging  bums  only 
20%  more  calories  than  brisk 
walking,  why  take  the  risk  of 
joint  injury  when  a  good  brisk 
walk  will  do  the  job?  Regard- 
less of  which  one  you  choose  to 
do.  walking  or  jogging,  remem- 
ber not  to  do  it  after  dark  or  by 
yourselves,  ladies.

Affected  by 

Hurricane 

by  Andrea  Nicholson 


For  many  of  us.  it  was 
jusl  another  newscast  and  one 
more  disaster  report  to  add  to 
the  countless  number  we  hear 
daily.  But  to  several  Southern 
College  students,  hurricane 
Hugo  meant  personal  disaster 
and  devastation. 

Aiinda  Martin,  whose 
home  on  the  island  of  St.  Croix 
was  among  those  that  were 
damaged  by  Hugo  on  September 
17,  said  she  heard  about  the 
hurricane  on  the  news. 

"TTie  bad  winds  and  rain 
started  about  2  o'clock  in  the 
afternoon,"  she  said.  "By  6 
o'clock,  all  the  phone  lines 
were  down,  and  I  couldn't  get 
through." 

Dean  Rose  tried  to 
contact  the  island  by  phone  to 
find  out  any  information  about 
the  families  of  the  ladies  in 
Thatcher,  but  she  couldn't  get 
through,  either. 

Aiinda  said  she  worried 
constantly  and  looked  al  the 
news  every  day  for  some  clue  of 
how  much  damage  the  hurricane 
had  done  to  the  island  where  her 
family  lives. 

It  was  two  weeks  after 
the  hurricane  struck  that  Aiinda 
finally  talked  to  her  fmaily.  Her 
mother  had  tried  to  get  through 
to  her  sooner,  but  there  were 
long  lines  to  the  only  phone  in 
the  area. 

"I  can't  really  explain  il. 
You  have  to  see  it  to  believe  it," 
her  mother  said  of  the  damage 
to  the  island.  "People  arc 
running  out  of  food,  and  every 
house  has  something  wrong 
with  it." 

Alinda's  house  was 
located  on  a  high  elevation  of 
the  island,  so  her  family  didn't 
evacuate.  She  said  her  parents 
and  brother  watched  as  the  roof 
was  blown  off  three  quarters  of 
the  house.  They  had  to  bail 
water  out  the  windows  as  it  rose 
inside. 

"Compared  to  the  other 
homes,  our  damage  was  minor," 
Aiinda  said.  Her  father  is  a 
carpenter,  so  he  will  be  able  to 
repair  their  hourse. 

Alinda's  mother,  who 
worked  for  the  bus  company. 


will  be  out  of  work  for  some 
time.  The  hurricane  destroyed 
all  the  schools,  and  it  will  be  a 
long  time  before  they  can  be 
rebuilt. 

Dahila  Hodge  called 
home  eariy  that  Sunday  morning 
when  she  heard  the  hurricane 
was  going  to  hit  near  her  home. 
Her  family  didn't  think  it  would 
do  much  damage  in  the  area 
where  they  live,  so  she  and  her 
sister,  Juliet,  didn't  worry  at 
first. 

But  when  news  reports 
told  ihem  the  damage  to  the 
island  was  extensive,  the  two 
sisters  said  they  just  cried  and 
prayed  that  their  families  and 
homes  would  be  spared. 

Il  was  two  weeks  before 
they  heard  from  their  mother.  "I 
started  screaming  when  she 
called,"  said  Dahila. 

The  Hodge's  live  in  an 
apartment  near  the  sea,  so  their 
family  had  to  evacuate  to  a 
shelter  during  the  storm.  Dahila 
said  her  mother  was  injured 
when  the  shelter  caved  in,  and 
her  brother  got  food  poisoning 
from  the  canned  foods  that  were 
provided. 

The  winds  shattered  the 
glass  windows  in  their  apart- 
ment, and  the  furniture  was 
blown  all  over  the  rooms.  Juliet 
said  their  apartment  will  be 
repaired  and  her  family  can 
move  back  in,  but  they  lost  all 
their  belongings  in  the  hurri-

Daphney  Ramsey  also 
lives  on  St.  Croix.  She  talked  to 
her  family  a  week  after  Hugo 
struck  her  home.  The  roof  blew 
off  her  house  while  her  mom, 
stepdad,  and  little  brother  and 
sister  huddled  in  the  closet  for 
protection.  "It  sounded  like  a 
bomb  when  the  roof  went,"  her 
mother  said. 

Daphney's  stepdad  fixed 
the  roof,  and  she  said  an  insur- 
ance agent  will  be  coming  soon 
to  assess  the  damage.  She  will 
be  going  home  for  Christmas. 

There  were  more  S.C. 
students  whose  homes  were 
damaged  in  the  hurricane.  They 
said  they  were  all  a  support  for 
each  other  during  the  weeks 
following  the  storm,  watching 
the  news,  crying,  and  praying. 
All  are  thankful  that  their 
families  are  alive,  and  they 
continue  to  pray  that  their  island 
home  will  slowly  be  restored. 


Towering  head  and 
shoulders  above  the  rest,  Peter 
Luchak,  6'2",  has  a  uniqi 
of  the  people  of  China.  1 
lived  in  the  People's  Republi_ 
of  China  for  only  15  months,  he 
stated  during  the  assembly 
program  on  October  12  that  he 
is  ready  to  go  back. 

Sponsored  by  Eden 
Valley  Institute  of  Colorado, 
Luchak  was  commissioned  to 
teach  at  an  English  language 
school.  March  of  1988  found 
Luchak  and  his  wife,  Rachel,  at 
Yanbian  Teacher's  College. 

Situated  in  the  northeast 
comer  of  China,  Yanbian 
Teacher's  College  is  found  in 
the  city  of  Yanji.  This  small 
city  with  the  a  population  of 
250,000  is  part  of  the  Korean 
Autonomous  Region  which 
encourages  Korean  independ- 
ence. The  two-year  government 
college  for  training  high-school 
level  English  teachers  has  100 
students. 

The  Luchak's  stay  in 
China  was  short-lived  since  they 
were  sent  home  last  June.  The 
Democracy  movement  at  Bei- 
jing made  it  unsafe  for  them  to 
stay.  Five  days  after  the  Tian- 
anmen Square  Riot,  the  Lu- 
chak's packed  their  bags  and 
flew  to  the  United  Slates. 

The  Luchak's  are  antici- 


pating their  return  to  China.  On 
November  7.  the  family  will  n\ 
back  to  China,  to  complete  the 
work  they've  started. 

Foreigners  have  not 
always  been  allowed  to  live  in 
China.  The  Luchaks  feel  privi- 
leged to  be  allowed  to  serve  in 
this  country.  "The  thing  I  am 
most  impressed  with,"  said 
Luchak,  "Is  the  friendliness  and 
openness  of  the  Chinese 

Besides  teaching  classes 
in  English,  the  Luchaks  plan  to 
set  up  a  Health  Reconditioning 
Center.  The  people  are  curious 
to  discover  the  health  message 
practiced  by  the  Luchak  family. 
Healthy  eating  habits  and 
personal  cleanliness  are  not 
always  practiced  by  the  Chi- 

Thc  arrival  of  the  Lu- 
chak's first  child,  Ellen,  bom  in 
July,  1988,  aroused  the  curiosity 
of  many.  Many  questioned 
Rachel's  care  of  the  child.  They 
marvelled  that  the  child  grew 
despite  the  fact  she  wasn't  fed 
meat  and  kept  heavily  bundled. 

"Out  of  the  1.4  billion 
people  who  live  in  China,  only 
60,000  are  estimated  to  be 
Seventh-day  Adventists,"  said 
Luchak.  "There's  a  lot  of  work 
to  do,  and  we  just  want  to  do

Destiny:  Makes  Christianity  Fun 


by  Jo-Anne  E.  Sievenson 


This 


elhes 


desolate.  The  rows  of  seats  in 
the  auditorium  were  empty 
except  the  first  few  where  the 
actors  sat.  The  lighls  were 
turned  up  and  the  strings  of  the 
guitar  played  lightly  to  the 
singing  voices  of  those  present. 
A  lively  worship  talk  began  and 
a  rehearsal  followed.  It  was 
7:00  p.m.  on  a  Thursday  night — 
time  for  the  90  minutes  practice 
for  members  of  the  Destiny 
Drama  Company.      ' 

Southem  College's 
drama  group  was  started  by  two 
students  and  campus  ministries 
in  1979,  making  this  year  its 
lOlh  anniversary.  Through 
Christian  theatrical  arts  the 
group  tries  to  convey  the  perti- 
nence, power,  and  personality  of 
Jesus  and  His  gospel.  It  has 
performed  throughout  the 
southeastern  United  States  at 
academies,  colleges,  youth 
rallies,  the  streets  of  Gatlinburg, 
and  Hamilton  Place  Mall  in 
Chattanooga.  "Destiny  is 
probably  one  of  the  more  recog- 
nized Christian  theatrical  groups 
in  the  denomination,"  says 
director  Allan  Martin. 

Martin  and  the  audition 
committee,  which  is  made  up  of 
faculty  specifically  from  the 
speech  and  English  departments 
and  C.A.R.E.  ministries,  chose 
this  year's  15  members.  The 
group  is  limited  to  15  members 
because  it  is  a  "very  functional 
number,"  says  Martin.  This 
makes  the  audition  committee's 
job  very  difficult  because 
"There  are  a  lot  of  talented 
people  on  this  campus."  Mem- 
bers are  eventually  chosen 


because  of  good  citizenship 
records  and  good  academic 
standings.  The  committee  also 
observes  each  auditioning 
student's  display  of  commit- 
ment and  dedication. 

Each  week  for  90  min- 
utes the  members  meet  in  Lynn 
Wood  Hall  to  take  care  of 
business  matters  and  to  rehearse 
for  upcoming  performances. 
Because  Destiny  is  an  outreach 
ministry,  it  schedules  off  cam- 
pus perfomiances  twice  a 
month.  This  explains  why  they 
rarely  perform  on  campus. 

Tricia  Green  who  joined 
Destiny  for  the  first  time  this 
year  says  she  wanted  to  be  a 
part  of  Destiny  because  it 
"Makes  Christianity  look  fun." 
Destiny  offers  each  member 
something  special.  Rochelle 
Battistone  who  has  been  a 


member  for  three  years  says, 
"The  one  thing  I  like  about 
Destiny  are  the  friends  I  make." 
For  David  Denton,  who  has 
been  in  Destiny  for  six  years,  it 
has  been  the  source  of  emo- 
tional growth,  "The  unity  you 
have  with  fourteen  different 
people  who  love  the  Lord  just 
rubs  off  on  you,"  says  Denton. 
Destiny  has  also  provided 
Denton  with  the  opportunity  to 
sharpen  his  creative  writing 
skills.  This  year's  home  show 
will  be  written  and  directed  by 
Denton  and  George  Turner. 
Denton  adds  that  when  the 
group  first  began,  all  of  the 
material  was  original  but  gradu- 
ally the  group  stopped  writing 
original  skits;  however,  this  year 
"Hopefully  we  will  have  an 
original  play  for  the  home 


Destiny  is  financed  soley 
through  C.A.R.E.  ministries. 
Public  Relations  and  other 
exposure  has  helped  it  finan- 
cially. The  group  also  receives 
a  stipend  for  traveling  accomo- 
dations and  expenses.  The 
group's  tour  advisor  is  Elder 
Jim  Herman,  and  its  administra- 
tive sponsor  is  Dr.  Don  Dick. 

During  the  mid-term 
break  Destiny  will  perform  at 
Andrews  University,  in  the 
Pioneer  Memorial  Church  and 
in  the  Crossroads  Sabbath 
school.  There,  the  seats  will  fill 
with  an  audience.  The  lights 
will  dim.  The  stage  will  come 
alive  as  Destiny  presents  the 
Holy  Spirit  though  its  dramatic 
abilities  and  Christian  commit-

Greater  Love  Hath  No 
Man  Than  This  . . . 


by  David  Wingate 

"Greater  love  hath  no 
man  ihan  this,  that  a  man  lay 
down  his  life  for  his  friends." 

I  met  Jesus  at  a  confused 
stage  of  my  adolescence.  I  did 
not  desire  to  be  close  to  him  for 
we  had  nothing  in  common.

Community  Service  Center 
Aids  Hurricane  Victims 


The  Seventh-day  Ad- 
ventist  Community  Service 
Center  works  with  other  Chat- 
tanooga area  agencies  and 
denominations  to  help  people  in 
need.  Although  it's  services  are 
mainly  devoted  eastern  Chat- 
tanooga, they  were  recently 
extended  to  residents  of 
Bishopville,  South  Carolina. 

On  September  22, 
Hurricane  Hugo  struck  the 
South  Carolina  coastline  with 
full  fury.  Charleston  was 
devastated,  and  many  surround- 
ing cities  received  considerable 
damage.  A  tornado  emerged 
from  the  storm  and  flattened  the 
town  of  Bishopville,  population 
3.500.  According  to  Lee 
County  administrator  Barry 
Hickman,  589  homes  were 
severely  damaged,  and  another 
102  were  beyond  repair.  The 
tornado  caught  up  many  mobile 
homes,  and  scattered  them 
about.  236  of  them  were  de- 
stroyed, and  214  suffered  major 
damage.  All  of  the  major 
businesses  in  town  displayed 
moderate  to  severe  damage. 
The  cotton  crop  was  spread  far 
and  wide  giving  the  fields  a 
snow  covered  appearance. 

When  the  news  of  this 
calamity  reached  Chattanooga, 
many  people  pulled  together  to 
prepare  necessary  relief  for  the 
victims.  The  Adventist  Com- 
munity Service  Center  was 
chosen  as  the  central  point  to 


by  Kerri  Healey 

bring  the  supplies.  Channel  12 
News  and  WDEF  picked  up  the 
story,  and  appealed  to  the  public 
for  food,  paper  products,  and 
other  needed  materials.  The 
response  seemed  slow  at  first, 
but  as  the  days  passed,  the 
provisions  began  to  pour  in. 
Some  volunteers  stood  at  the 
doors  to  help  bring  in  the  dona- 
tions, while  others  organized 
and  boxed  the  supplies.  The 
names,  addresses,  and  goods 
were  recorded.  Even  with  all 
the  commotion,  there  still 
appeared  to  be  an  atmosphere  of 
order,  as  each  volunteer  did  his 
or  her  job  tirelessly  and  cheer- 
fully. 

At  the  beginning  of  the 
last  week  in  September,  the 
upstairs  classroom  at  the  Ad- 
ventist Community  Service 
Center  exhibited  only  one  lonely 
pile  of  donations.  However,  as 
the  days  went  by,  the  pile 
increased,  so  that  by  the  middle 
of  the  next  week,  the  once  vast 
expanse  of  floor  space  was  now 
covered  with  a  tremendous 
mountain  of  boxes. 

In  order  to  lessen  the 
confusion  when  the  workers 
arrived  at  their  destination,  each 
box  of  goods  was  prepared  to 
supply  adequate  food  for  a 
specific  number  of  days. 

Aftera  week  of  fast- 
paced  organization,  vans  from 
Southern  College  and  the 
Adventist  Community  Center 


were  scheduled  lo  take  the 
boxes  to  South  Carolina.  Some- 
one had  gone  ahead  earlier 
searching  for  the  best  location  to 
take  the  supplies.  Word  came 
back  that  Charleston  was  over- 
whelmed with  trailers  full  of 
food,  and  the  search  began  for 
another  city.  After  consulting 
with  the  South  Carolina  gover- 
nor, Bishopville  was  agreed 
upon  as  the  recipient  town. 

Seven  representatives 
from  the  Adventist  Community 
Service  Center  left  with  the  vans 
at  4:30  on  the  morning  of 
October  4,  1989.  The  head  van 
carried  a  banner  (graciously 
donated  by  a  local  printer)  that 
read  "Hugs  for  Hugo—  Chat- 
tanooga Cares."  From  the 
beginning  their  efforts  were 
greatly  welcomed.  Several 
workers  distributed  food,  while 
others  helped  with  repair  work, 
and  assisted  in  other  areas. 
These  volunteers  worked  over- 
time to  provide  all  the  help  they 
could  give. 

The  main  purpose  of 
each  volunteer  was  not  "What 
will  1  get  out  of  it?",  but  rather, 
"What  can  I  do  to  help?"  With- 
out these  people,  "Hugs  for 
Hugo"  would  never  have  been 
possible.  The  unselfish  giving 
of  Chattanooga  shows  that  when 
it  comes  to  helping  a  neighbor, 
Chattanooga  truly  shines. 


destruction,  I  found  deloured 
thorough  His  compassion. 
Unlike  other  friends.  Jesus  was 
not  shy  about  expressing  love. 
He  shows  me  adoration 
through  His  patience  and  warm- 
heartedness. On  occasions  1 
will  push  Him  aside,  and  though 
this  must  hurt,  He  always  seems 
to  understand. 

Whenever  1  am  in  a 
bind,  my  Friend  and  1  determine 
plausible  solutions.  His  amaz- 
ing wisdom  helps  to  keep  my 
life  on  steady  ground. 

Through  His  counsel,  I 
have  come  to  love  and  forgive 
my  enemies.  During  my  child- 
hood my  stepfather  and  I  did  not 
get  along.  Many  times  lex- 
pressed  hatred  toward  him.  But 
a  Presence  comforted  me  and 
silenced  my  cries  of  anguish.  I 
learned  that  this  Presence  was 
the  warm  embrace  of  my  dearest 
Companion,  Jesus  Christ.  He 
taught  me  to  behold  others  with 
eyes  of  compassion. 

Along  with  this  new 
outlook,  my  Friend  has  given 
me  many  more  cherished  gifts. 
He  helped  me  to  purchase  a  car. 
handed  me  money  in  times  of 
need,  provided  me  with  re- 
sourceful books,  and  at  present 
is  helping  lo  finance  my  educa- 
tion. His  extreme  generosity 
has  prompted  me  to  pursue  the 
same  quality. 

My  greatest  gift  from 
Jesus  puzzles  me.  but  I  know  He 
sacrificed  a  lot  for  it.  I  commit- 
ted a  crime — one  deserving  of 
death.  He,  however,  was  inno- 
cent and  worthy  of  eternal  life. 
But  my  Best  Friend  took  my 
place!  He  paid  the  price  of 
death  and  suffering  for  me. 
Thus,  I  became  guiltless  and  no 
longer  required  execution.  He 
gave  me  life  and  told  me  this 
gift  was  for  everyone. 

Many  years  have  passed, 
but  our  friendship  grows 
stronger.  I  continue  to  learn  and 
depend  upon  Jesus  and  try  to 
introduce  Him  lo  others.  If  you 
are  not  yet  acquainted  with  my 
Friend,  I  know  He  desires  your 
company.  Call  on  His  name. 
He  is  eager  to  express  His  love 
and  heal  your  heataches. 
Surely,  greater  love  hath  no 
man  than  this...!"

Claire  Gonzalez,  an  18  year- 
old  Business  major  at  Pacific 
Union  College,  chats  with  her 
friend  Darren  Dee  as  he  drives 
onlo  the  lower  level  of  the  San 
Francisco  Bay  Bridge. 

The  time  is  5:03  p.m. 

They  had  attended  PUC's  SA 
Fall  Picnic  ihat  day  in  Golden 
Gale  Park,  and  had  left  early  to 
go  shopping  in  San  Francisco. 
Jusi  that  morning.  Claire  had 
said  she  didn't  feel  a  part  of  any 
big  events  in  the  world. 

Suddenly  the  car  swerved  out 
of  control.  Claire  glanced  up  in 
time  to  see  a  wall  fall  in  front  of 
them.  "It  took  me  a  few  sec- 
onds to  figure  out  that  this  wall, 
which  I  hadn't  seen  before,  was 
the  bridge!"  she  says. 

The  time  is  5:04  p.m. 

Darren  pulled  over  and 
stopped,  saying  "It's  an  earth- 
Angelica  Fisher,  the  passenger 
in  the  back  seat,  got  out  and  ran 
ahead.  She  saw  water  spraying 
up  from  a  broken  water  main. 
"I  really  thought  the  bridge  was 
sinking."  she  says.  "I  thought 
'This  is  it,  guys!'  Let's  get  out 
of  here  now!'"  she  screamed. 
They  grabbed  everything  out  the 
car  and  sprinted  back  to  Treas- 
ure Island,  the  island  in  the 
middle  of  San  Francisco  Bay. 
There  another  aftershock  hit 
them.  Angelica  thought  about 
the  people  that  were  important

In  the  last  issue  of  the  Accent 
there  appeared  a  letter  to  the 
editor  written  by  a  disgruntled 
reader.  This  reader's  main 
concern,  if  I  understood  her 
correctly,  was  the  free  use  of 
details  in  the  report  on  the  rapes 
that  have  occurred  recently  on 
campus. 

Now,  unlikely  as  it  seems,  the 
letter  has  been  read  and  consid- 
ered thoughtfully  by  the  Accent 
staff.  In  an  effort  to  forestall 
any  fuilher  criticism  of  their 
handling  of  sensitive  news 
stories  the  Editor  and  his  assis- 
tants have  agreed  to  drop  all 
details  from  any  future  news 
articles  that  might  be  offensive 

I  applaud  this  decision  as  a 
dynamic  step  forward  in  re- 
porter-reader relations.  As  an

A  Letter  to  the  Editor 


Dear  Editor, 

Dissection  has  become  a 
painful  dilemma  for  many 
students  and  professors  who 
object  to  killing  or  mutilating 
animals.  The  Animal  Legal 
Defense  Fund,  a  non-profit 
organization,  has  launched  a 
national  campaign  to  advise 
students  and  professors  about 
alternatives  to  dissecting  frogs, 
rabbits,  cats,  fetal  pigs  and  other 
animals  in  the  classroom. 

A  Dissection  Information 
Hotline,  I-800-922-FROG 
(3764),  provides  callers  with 
information  on  educational 
alternatives  to  dissection, 
guidelines  for  negotiating  with 
college  officials,  and  sugges- 
tions for  overcoming  obstacles 
students  may  face  as  they 
exercise  their  legal  rights. 

A  free  Student  Handbook 
outlines  an  eight-step  plan  to 
help  students  "say  no"  to  dissec- 
tion and  includes  a  list  of  alter- 
native teaching  aids, 

I  encourage  you  to  investigate 


the  issue  of  animal  dissection  on 
your  own  campus  and  to  alert 
your  readers  to  the  availability 
of  the  hotline  to  help  them  find 
alternatives  to  dissection. 

Animal  dissection  has  been 
controversial  for  many  years, 
but  the  issue  gained  great 
prominence  two  years  ago  when 
teenager  Jenifer  Graham  refused 
to  dissect  a  frog  in  her  high 
school  biology  class.  Jenifer's 
experience,  resulted  in  a  state 
law  giving  students  in  grades 
kindergarten- 12  the  right  to 
refuse  to  dissect. 

Biology,  physiology  and 
anatomy  should  be  life  sciences, 
not  death  sciences.  But  dissec- 
tion teaches  students  that  animal 
life  is  expendable  and  unimpor- 
tant. All  students  have  the  right 
to  study  animal  life  without 
desecrating  it. 

Thank  you  for  your  considera- 


Sincerely, 
Joyce  Tischler 


Food  Fair  Draws  Crowd 


by  Jo-Anne  E.  Stevenson 

The  aroma  of  festive  food 
greeted  the  guests  at  the  door  as 
they  came  to  participate  in  the 
sampling  of  foods  from  around 
the  world.  On  Sunday,  October 
29,  the  annual  International 
Food  Fair  was  held  in  the 
Spalding  Elementary  gym. 
Vendors  composed  of  students 
and  local  church  members 
situated  themselves  behind 
small  booths  and  sold  a  variety 
of  foods  typical  to  the  particular 
country  their  booth  represented. 
At  the  Mexican  booth,  guests 
could  purchase  a  plate  of  rice 
and  black  beans  and  a  crispy 
burrito.  Italy  offered  a  helping 
of  spaghetti  and  salad  with  a 
piece  of  garlic  bread.  The 
Orient  offered  a  sizeable  plate 
of  fried  rice,  noodles  and  won- 
tons.  For  those  who  were  more 
adventurous,  India  was  selling 
curry  and  rice.  But  for  those 
who  couldn't  break  themselves 
away  from  good  'ole  American 
food,  the  Western  American 
booth  had  tasty  com-on-the-cob 
dripping  with  butler  and  sea- 
soned with  a  pinch  of  salt.  The 
Islands  provided  an  oasis  if  pina 
colada  or  fruit  punch  drinks  for 
the  tender  palate  not  yet  used  to 
the  hot  spices  of  other  countries. 
If  some  guests  were  not  yet 
filled  to  their  brim  the  Dutch 
and  the  Danish  had  something 
real  sweet.  Large  danishes  and 
assorted  cakes  could  be  pur- 
chased from  the  Danish  or  a 


heaping  scoop  of  soft  serve  ice- 
cream topped  with  popular 
toppings  could  be  bought  from 
the  Dutch.  For  some,  this  was 
still  not  enough.  After  finishing 
his  entree'  and  desert.  Wayne 
Stevenson,  a  sophomore  at 
Southern,  got  up  and  began 
round  two.  "It  was  a  real  inter- 
national experience,"  he  said. 
Others  were  more  conservative 
their  first  lime  around  and 
purchased  food  from  two  se- 
lected booths  and  came  back 
later  in  the  day  and  bought  their 
supper  from  two  other  booths. 
Others  sampled  one  of  every- 
thing all  in  one  meal. 

While  guests  sauntered  slowly 
around  to  each  booth  soft  pan 
flutes  played  in  the  background. 
The  first  piece  of  live  entertain- 
ment was  performed  by  Jackie 
James  who  accompanied  him- 
self on  the  piano  singing  the 
[heme  song,  "All  Are  Precious." 
Edwin  Disla  received  a  lively 
applaud  for  the  romantic  Span- 
ish song  entitled,  "Promise 
Love."  Shannon  Bom  who 
coordinated  the  entertainment 
said  it  was  all  performed  by 
students  from  Southern. 

The  annual  international  Food 
Fair  is  sponsored  by  the  local 
SDA  churches.  Each  sponsorer 
is  requested  to  bear  all  the  costs 
of  representing  a  country  and 
providing  the  food.  The  money 
received  from  each  booth  is  then 
donated  to  a  fund  for  Student 
Missionaries  at  Southern  Col- 
lege. ArleenTolenlino  who  is

cluded selections  from  Ravel. 
Mussorgsky,  Babadjanian. 
and  Scarlatti,  all  of  which  he 
played  with  high  emotional 
intensity.  The  audience 
received  his  interpretations  of 
these  pieces  enthusiastically, 
and  invited  Toradze  back  onto 
the  stage  for  several  encores.

At  that  time,  the  pianist  made 
a  spontaneous  decision  lo

granted  asylum  for  two

the  coordinator  of  the  fair  said 
that  the  money  is  given  to 
student  missionaries  who  are 
raising  funds  for  their  air  fares. 
"If  there  is  any  money  lacking 
for  their  air  fares,  the  fund 
makes  up  the  difference,  this 
money  is  for  them,"  said

received  $75  toward  his  air  fare

New  Marketing  Program  Seeking  Majors 


By  Suzanne  Lettrick 

The  business  department 
wants  people  to  inquire 
about  the  new  full  marketing 
program,  which  offers  a 
BAA  in  marketing. 

Although  the  program  has 
been  going  since  the  begin- 
ning of  fall,  not  many  people 
have  heard  about  it  because 
it  was  added  after  the  course 
catalog  was  published. 

CliffOlson,  the  new  busi- 
ness teacher,  said  that  he 
hopes  more  students  will 
look  into  this  program. 


There  are  now  1 5  marketing 
majors. 

One  reason  he  thinks  people 
should  inquire  is  that  it  will  help 
people  in  every  career  because 
"People  always  have  to  market 

"More  CEO's  come  from  a 

Marketing  background 

than  any  other." 


themselves.. ..everyone  should 
take  a  marketing  course."  He 
quoted  Fortune  magazine 
saying.  "Out  of  the  Fortune  500 


companies,  more  chief  execu-  • 
live  officers  come  from  a  mar- 
keting background  than  any 
other  area  in  business." 

Olson  said  the  field  of  market- 
ing is  "a  hot  area  for  students. 
The  forecast  is  for  the  job 
outlook  to  increase." 

Among  careers  that  can  be 
reached  by  majoring  in  market- 
ing are  advertising,  marketing 
management,  market  research, 
and  sales. 

"Marketing  courses  will  give 
students  experience  in  the 
field."  Olson  said.  In  the  mar- 
keting management  course  the 


students  will  do  a  real  mar- 
keting plan  for  a  real  busi- 
ness," and  in  the  sales  man- 
agement course,  the  students 
are  video  taped  to  see  how 
they  can  improve  their  selling 
skills. 

Within  a  year  there  will  be 
a  total  of  eight  marketing 
courses  offered.  Olson,  who 
has  his  masters  in  marketing, 
and  Vinita  Sauder.  a  new 
teacher,  make  up  the  market- 
ing faculty.

C.A.R.E.  Week  Appreciated  by  All 


Often,  during  the  hectic  days 
of  sleeping,  working,  and 
studying,  many  students  don't 
get  the  chance  to  let  their 
friends  and  aquaintances  know 
how  much  they  are  appreciated. 
C.A.R.E.  Week  gave  everyone 
the  opportunity  to  let  others 
know  just  how  special  they  are. 

Monday  was  Balloon  Day, 
and  one  could  see  brightly 
colored  balloons  printed  with 
"We  Care"  dancing  above 
backpacks  and  book  bags. 
Many  of  the  orange  colored 
balloons  were  decorated  as 
floating  jack-o-lantems  with 
comical  faces  bringing  smiles 
and  stares  from  passersby.  The 
balloons  were  also  used  as  an 


innovative  way  of  sending  a 
message  to  a  fellow  student. 

Tuesday  brought  about  an- 
other way  of  expressing  appre- 
ciation: flowers.  It  was  neat  to 
see  the  bright  carnations  given 
around  campus.  In  fact, 
student  had  bought  a  car 
to  share  with  "anyone  who  looks 
like  he  needs  to  be  cheered  up  a 
little." 

Wednesday  was  C.A.R.E. 
Day;  and  it  gave  everyone  the 
opportunity  to  send  a  little  note 
of  cheer  to  someone.  "I  think 


something  that  encourages 
everyone  to  participate,  since 
almost  everyone  has  someone  he 
appreciates,"  noted  one  fresh- 


Thursday  gave  students  the 
excuse  to  share  their  thoughts 
with  buttons.  Students  chose 
and  designed  the  buttons,  and 
John  Lazor  and  Ed  Santana 
snapped  the  buttons  together. 

Friday  was  Warm  Fuzzie  Day, 
and  it  was  great,  according  to 
one  freshman,  because  "It  gave 
me  a  chance  to  give  people 
hugs."  Another  freshman  was 
quick  to  add,  "I  thought  it  was  a 
great  idea  since  I'm  a  firm  be- 
liever in  hug  therapy" 

"I  think  it's  great  to  show 
friends  that  you  care  about  them 
and  not  have  a  special  reason  for 
having  to,  like  a  birthday  or 
illness,"  Sandi  Floyd  reflected 


as  she  fondly  smiled  at  the  latest 
picture  her  boyfriend  had  drawn 

"I  thought  the  flowers  and 
balloons  were  the  best  ideas 
because  you  could  give  them  to 
people  and  cheer  them  up  while 
you  also  let  them  know  you 
value  their  friendship,"  said 
Kevin  Wright  when  he  was 
asked  what  his  favorite  day  was. 

Overall,  C.A.R.E.  Week  was 
enjoyed  by  both  the  givers  and 
the  receivers.  Whether  it  be  a 
flower,  hug,  balloon  or  a  card,  it 
seems  that  people  enjoy  being 
appreciated  -  no  matter  what 
week  it  happens  to  be. 


Illuminating  This 
Present  Darkness' 


By  Andrew  C.  Nash 

For  most,  this  past  Halloween 
was  a  time  for  thrills,  nick-or- 
trealing,  and  games;  however, 
for  devil  worshipers,  it  was  a 
ninth  Halloween,  prompting 
thousands  of  sacrifices  to  Satan 
across  the  nation.  You  can  bet 
it  was  a  festive  night  for  demons 
everywhere,  including  those  in 
the  Chattanooga  area... 

Much  of  this  information  was 
given  by  former  Satan-wor- 
shiper, Eileen  (last  name  with- 
held) during  a  seminar  in 
Orlando,  Florida,  several  weeks 
ago.  According  to  Eileen,  who 
made  her  first  sacrifice  at  age 
five,  every  ninth  Halloween  all 
of  the  devil's  followers  are 
expected  to  "celebrate"  the 
occasion  by  making  a  human 
sacrifice.  Eileen  used  to  play  a 
major  role  in  these  horrifying 
ceremonies.  Then  she  met 
Jesus. 

At  the  seminar,  an  audience  of 
Orlando  residents,  including 
several  Adventist  school  teach- 
ers, was  astonished  to  hear  that 
Eileen  had  been  given,  from 
Satan,  the  power  to  see  demons 
and  angels.  When  asked  if  she 
could  see  demons  and  angels  in 
the  meeting  room,  Eileen 
hesitated  and  then  responded, 
"Yes." 


The  demons  are  about  eight 
feel  tall,  according  lo  Eileen, 
while  the  angels  are  slightly 
larger  and  holding  massive 
swords  of  light. 

Eileen  cited  the  novel.  This 
Present  Darkness,  by  Frank  E. 
Peretti,  as  a  close  resemblance 
to  how  it  really  is  in  the  unseen 
world.  In  the  book,  a  small 
town  is  inhabited  and  fought 
over  by  demons  and  angels  of 
God.  The  primary  power  source 
for  the  angels  is  the  ascending 
prayers  of  the  people.  Only  with 
this  "prayer  power"  are  the 
angels  justified  in  ridding  the 
town  of  the  demons. 

As  Christians,  we  sometimes 
get  discouraged  when  our  prayer 
requests  seem  to  go  unanswered. 
But  knowing  that  our  prayers  are 
directly  aiding  our  guardian 
angel's  war  against  demons 
should  make  us  even  more 
excited  about  talking  with  the 

"For  we  are  not  contending 
against  flesh  and  blood,  but 
against  the  principalities,  against 
the  powers,  against  the  worid 
rulers  of  this  present  darkness, 
against  the  spiritual  host  of 
wickedness  in  the  heavenly 
places{Ephesians6:l2,RSV). 


Potter  Preaches  Here 


Jon  Mourglia  (pronounced 
"Mor-Ya")  of  "The  Potter's 
House"  will  be  teaching  at 
Southern  College,  Friday, 
November  10  at  8:00  p.m.  in 
the  church.  Mourglia  has 
been  a  potter  since  1965  and 
became  a  Christian  in  1970. 
His  teaching  of  "The  Potter's 
House"  precedes  "The  Great 
Passion  Play"  in  Eureka 
Springs, 
Arkanasas  and 
is  a  regular 
presentation  of 
the  Elna  M. 
Smith  Founda- 
tion which 
operates  "The 
Great  Passion 
Play".  Mour- 

lecturer  with 
The  Thomas  F. 
Staley  Distin- 
guished Chris- 
tian Scholar 
Lecture  Program. 

"The  Potter's  House"  is  a 
unique  ministry  through  the 
medium  of  pottery,  which 
combines  Mourglia's  natural 
talent  as  a  potter  with  a 
spiritual  gift  of  teaching  the 
Word  of  God.  His  teaching 
involves  bringing  a  potter's 
wheel,  along  with  a  variety  of 
finished  vessels,  and  using 
them  to  illustrate  the  different 


points  he  teaches. 

As  he  makes  a  form  on  the 
potter's  wheel,  Mourglia  par- 
allels the  physical  with  the 
spiritual,  using  pottery  as  the 
example,  much  the  same  way 
that  Christ  used  parables. 
When  Christ  spoke  to  farmers 
He  used  elements  they  under- 
stood such  as  crops,  seeds, 
soils  and  the  seasons.  When 
He  taught  fish- 
ermen. He 
related  to  the 
things  of  the 
sea  to  explain 
spiritual 
principles. 

When 
he  teaches, 
Mourglia 
relates  the 
Master  potter 
with  Fadier 
God,  the 
potter's  clay 
with  human 
flesh,  centering  of  the  clay  on 
the  potter's  wheel  with  truth, 
water  with  the  Spirit,  the 
forming  of  the  vessel  with  the 
growth  of  the  individual 
Christian,  the  fire  of  the  kiln 
with  spiritual  trials,  sealing 
glaze  with  baptism,  a  finished 
cup  compared  to  communion, 
and  ashes  with  humility.

Hogaboam,  was  driving  with 
two  of  her  friends  on  the 
upper  level  100  feet  past  the 
point  where  the  "wall"  fell. 
She  heard  a  repeating  thump- 
ing noise  and  almost  hit  the 
side  rail.  "Oh  no,  not  another 
flat  tire,"  she  said.  She 
pulled  over  and  checked  the 
tires.  They  were  OK.  Then 
she  looked  back.  There  was 
nothing  there,  not  even  a  lane 
of  traffic,  except  for  one  car. 

That  car  pulled  up  beside 
them,  and  the  man  inside 
yelled  "It's  an  eanhquake!" 

Camille  got  back  in  and 
sped  off  the  bridge  at  about 
80  mph.  Her  wheel  align-

the  glass  counter  in  Nord-

"When  it  hit,  the  saleslady 
turned  while,  looked  around 
and  swore,"  she  says.  "Glass 
started  falling  everywhere.  1 
remembered  that  I  should 
look  for  a  doorway,  but  there 
weren't  any  around." 

"Ann  Angevick  and  I  just

Outside,  she  wailed  in  line 
at  a  pay  phone  to  call  911, 
and  the  operator  told  her  to 
wait  45  minutes  before 
driving,  to  avoid  aftershocks. 

Most  people  didn't.  "There 
was  panic  on  the  streets.  The 
traffic  lights  and  electricity 
were  out,  and  no  one  obeyed 
right  of  way,"  she  says.  "It 
took  us  five  to  six  hours  to 
get  home." 

"The  whole  way  back,  we 
talked  about  how  trivial  life 
is.  and  that  brought  us  all  to- 
gether." 

Jen  McMurray,  the  Social 
Vice-President  of  the  SA 
who  was  responsible  for  the 
Fall  Picnic,  had  a  sleepless 
night  waiting  for  two  stu- 
dents who  hadn't  returned 
from  San  Francisco.  "Who 


would  have  thought  that  the 
day  most  of  the  students 
were  downtown  would  be  the 
day  it  happened!"  she  says. 
"As  each  one  relumed,  I 
went  up  to  him  and  said, 
"Oh,  I'm  so  glad  you're 
back!"  By  10  a.m.  the  next 
morning,  everyone  had 
returned. 

John  Collins,  the  PUC 
Vice-President  for  Student 
Services,  was  at  the  world 
series  game  which  had  to  be 
evacuated.  "You  could  hear 
the  earthquake  as  the  stadium 
shook.  Many  people  thought 
it  was  going  to  collapse,"  he 
says. 

TTie  eanhquake  registered 
at  6.9  on  the  Richter  Scale, 
and,  according  to  the  New 
York  Times,  the  U.S.  Geo- 
logical Survey  says  there  is  a 
60  percent  chance  of  a  7.5- 
8.0  quake  along  the  San 
Andreas  Fault  within  the 
next  30  years. 

There  was  no  damage  to 
PUC,  except  for  some  cracks 
in  a  condemned  building.  A 
staff  member  fainted  in  the 
Financial  Administration 
Building.  TheAngwin 
Volunteer  Fire  Department 
was  called  to  look  for  gas 
leaks  in  Santa  Cruz  County, 
says  Louis  Lique,  a  volunteer 
fire  fighter. 

Keith  Wheeler,  the  Princi- 
pal of  Monterey  Bay  Acad- 
emy, reported  very  minor 
damage.  One  cafe  window 
fell  out,  and  a  chandelier  fell 
from  the  chapel.  Their 
electricity  was  out  for  30 
hours,  and  a  number  of 
dishes  broke  in  faculty 
homes.  No  one  was  hurt. 
"A  number  of  students 
stayed  in  faculty  homes 
because  they  were  scared  of 
the  continuing  aftershocks, 
about  4.0  Richter.  which 
were  centered  about  4  miles 
from  our  campus!"  he  said. 
"It  appears  the  Lord's  pres- 
ence was  very  evident  here." 

Peter  Ringering,  a  Walla

Look  to  the  Cross,  then  Look  Again! 


by  Bill  Kittle 

Every  time  I  open  my 
Bible,  I  find  it  more  and 
more  beautiful.  That 
may  seem  like  a  normal 
thing  for  a  ministerial 
candidate  to  say,  but  for 
me  it  seems  strange  to  be 
headed  in  that  direction. 
For  many  years  I  fought 
against  the  One  who  had 
the  power  to  transform 
my  worthless  existence 
into  something  valuable. 

Many  good  people  have 
put  forth  great  efforts  in 
my  life  so  that  I  might 
obtain  peace  for  my  war- 
weary  soul.  Yet,  not  one 
person  can  match  the 
greatest  gift  of  all,  Jesus. 
In  Him  I  find  rest.  I  can 
feel  His  love  in  the 
warmth  of  a  hug  or  in  the 
rays  of  the  sun  on  my 
face.  I  can  see  His  love 
in  the  kind  deeds  of 
people  who  care.  I  can 
hear  His  love  in  the  kind 
words  spoken  by  a 
friend.  In  all  my  life  no 
one  has  so  surrounded 
me  in  love  as  Jesus  has. 
Jesus,  what  a  beautiful 
name!  I  could  say  it  a 
million  times  at  His  feet 
and  never  grow  weary  of 
His  name  or  of  His  com- 
pany. 


I  look  back  on  my  life  and 
ask  myself,  "How  did  God 
ever  make  a  somebody  out 
of  me?"  I  guess  it  was 
always  the  feeling  that  He 
was  near,  always  at  my  side 
to  support  me  and  to  lift  me 
up  when  I  was  down.  Inevi- 
tably I  would  look  again  at 
His  broken  body,  and  He 
would  transform  my  life 
once  again. 


In  Isaiah  45:22  God  speaks 
to  each  need  of  our  hearts. 
He  says,  "Look  to  Me  and  be 
saved,  all  you  ends  of  the 
Earth!  For  I  am  God,  and 
there  is  no  other"  (NKJV). 

It  is  as  if  God  says  to  me, 
"In  Me  only  can  you  find 
peace  for  your  life.  In  Me 
alone  will  your  life  be  filled 
with  joy!  Look  to  Me  and  be 
saved."  He  also  invites  us. 


"Come  unto  Me,  all  you 
who  labor  and  are  heavy 
laden,  and  I  will  give  you 
rest"  Matt.  11:28. 

Rest  for  your  souls,  rest 
and  peace  in  your  life.  We 
should  look  again  to  the 
cross  of  Jesus,  to  be  saved. 
Look  again!  Look  again! 
And  look  again!

student  Profile:  Adrianne  Zukovski 


By  Izear  Feagins 

"Will  I  know  everybody  at 
Southern?  Will  I  make  friends?" 
These  were  the  questions  of 
Adrianne  Zukovski  when  she 
came  to  Southern  in  the  fall  of 
1988. 

Adrianne  who  was  bom  in  Sao 
Pauio.  Brazil  did  not  want  to 
come  to  America  because  of 
racial  segregation  among  blacks, 
whites,  and  hispanics;  however, 
because  her  parents  are  mission- 
aries who  received  a  call  to 
Miami.  Florida,  she  had  to  go. 

When  Adrianne  moved  to 
America,  she  had  to  choose  a 
college.  She  chose  Southern. 
She  said  that  although  she  spoke 
poor  English,  the  students  of  all 
races  were  patient  and  kind  to 
her.  They  came  to  sit  and  talk 
with  herjusl  like  a  friend.  Be- 
cause of  this  southern  hospitality, 
she  no  longer  doubted  the  friend- 
liness of  the  people. 


Adrianne  is  a  sophomore  Allied 
Health  (nutrition)  major.  She 
wants  to  give  lectures  on  how  to 
eat  and  cook  nutritiously.  She 


Making  people  laugh  is  Adri- 
anne's  hobby.  She  said,  "I  like 
to  make  people  laugh,  they 
look  beautiful  when  they  pour 


also  wants  to  give  health  tips  on 
changing  people's  diets. 

Adrianne  has  lived  in  Brazil  and 
Mexico.  As  a  result  of  living  in 
these  countries,  she  speaks  Eng- 
lish, Spanish,  and  her  native 
language,  Portuguese. 


With  Adrianne 's  speech  and 
humor  talents,  she  has  had  no 
problems  making  friends  at 
Southern.

Dear  friends, 

It's  lime  to  snatch  a  few  min- 
utes for  communication  with 
you  folks  again!  A  big  thank 
you  to  those  of  you  that  have 
written,  especially  Southern, 
who  has  been  sending  letters 
and  the  student  paper — "The 
Accent"!  I  enjoy  seeing  the 
familiar  faces! 

The  1st  quarter  is  almost  over, 
only  two  more  weeks  to  go.  At 
the  mid-term,  September  21,  we 
got  a  sneak  preview  of  what  the 
Rock  Islands  are  like.  On 
Thursday  the  21st,  the  Student 
Association  took  the  whole 
school  on  a  Rock  Island  picnic. 
We  swam,  ate,  snorkeled,  and 
relaxed  on  a  little  island  proba- 
bly only  about  300  feet  i 
say  across  because 
the  island  is  made 
of  rock  that  goes 
straight  up  from 
the  water  about 
forty  or  fifty  feet, 
except  for  one  sandy  beach 
jutting  out  on  one  side.  But 
the  fun  was  only  beginning. 
That  weekend  we  camped  at 
another  island.  It  was  great- 
sandy  beach, cc 
around,  warm  water,  and  lots 
of  beautiful  fish  and  shells. 
We  explored  a  rusty  Japanese 
Zero  at  low  tide  (i'  was 
sticking  out  of  water  two 
feet),  and  found  many  animals 
and  plants  that  I've  only  read 
about  before.  For  instance,  sea 
stars,  giant  calms,  angel  fish, 
trumpet  fish,  sea  urchins,  star- 
fish, moray  eels,  puffer  fish, 
many  kinds  of  hard  and  soft 
corals,  coconut  crabs,  and  even 
a  small  black-tipped  shark.  I'm 
looking  forward  to  going  again 
at  the  end  of  the  quarter! 

Back  at  P.M.A.— reality— life 
is  busier  than  ever.  I'm  really 
enjoying  leaching  now.  I'm 
getting  along  well  with  the  stu- 
dents, which  is  one  of  the  most 
important  ingredients  for  suc- 
cess here.  All  the  teachers  are 
being  tougher  than  last  year,  and 
some  of  the  rules  are  new,  so 
complaints  about  too  much 
homework,  etc.  are  frequent. 
My  class  load  has  changed  a  bit 
because  now  that  John  Norman 
has  arrived,  he  teaches  Reme- 
dial English,  and  I  teach  a 
sectionof  senior  English.  I 
have  many  other  responsibili- 
ties. Oneof  them  is  having 
Friday  night  vespers  every  five 


weeks  or  so.  Then  on  Sabbaths, 
I  always  have  some  responsibil- 
ity to  fill,  whether  it's  playing 
the  piano  for  Sabbath  School, 
for  church,  teaching  the  les.son 
(every  week!),  calling  for  the 
offering,  being  the  chorister  for 
church,  having  the  scripture  and 
prayer,  special  music,  or  having 
the  sermon,  which  I  will  on  the 
21stof  this  month!  On  Sabbath 
afternoons,  we,  the  SM's.  take 
the  student  for  walks  and  will  be 
involved  in  branch  Sabbath 
Schools  very  soon.  Sunday,  we 
work  three  hours  in  the  morning 
and  take  turns  with  "being 
around" — student  supervi- 
sion in  the  afternoon, 


Dear  Southern  Friends: 

Yokwe!  It  has  been  good 
to  hear  about  some  of  the 
things  happening  at  S.C,  but 
I'm  so  glad  God  wanted  me 
here  in  Ebeye  this  year.  He's 
teaching  me  so  much,  and  it's 
only  October! 

I  had  heard  before  coming 
here  that  there  was  no  physi- 
cal beauty  on  Ebeye,  but  I 
have  been  blessed  to  see 
more  than  three  palm  tress, 
some  beautiful  flower  bushes, 
a  big  cluster  of  lavender 
flowers,  and  green,  leafy 
nes  by  our  water 
spigot  (we  don't 
have  to  boil  our 
water!).  This 


have  a  chance  to 
go  to  Koror  and 
buy  food,  visit  the  SM's 
in  town,  etc.  We  get  the  use  of 
the  school  truck,  a  small  white 
Nissan  pickup,  free-once  a 
week.  With  all  of  our  schedules 
being  so  busy,  you  might  expect 
us  to  have  a  hard  time  getting 
along  with  each  other  under  all 
the  stress.  If  it  wasn't  for  the 
Lord,  I'm  sure  that  would  be  the 
case.  Many  times,  at  least  for 
me,  the  task  looks  so  big  that  I 
know  1  have  to  have  the  Lord's 
help.  There  aren't  any  other 

If  you  are  a  young  person, 
seriously  consider  the  option  of 
going  somewhere  as  a  student 
missionary.  I  recommend  it! 

Thanks  again  to  those  of  you 
who  wrote  and  for  the  prayers 
that  I  know  some  of  you  must 
be  sending  up  for  me. 

David  said,  "Where  does  my 
help  come  from?  My  help 
Cometh  from  the  Lord!"  Psalm 
121:2. 

Keep  looking  up! 

Paul 


Kaselehlia      (hello)  from 
Pohnpei!  Two  months  have 
passed  since  I  arrived  on  this 
60  mile  island.  I've  adjusted 
well  to  the  culture,  and  what 
an  adjustment  it  was!  After 
getting  used  to  the  fact  that  I 
am  1 1,000  miles  from  home, 
I've  had  to  adjust  to  other 
aspects  that  have  to  be  looked 
at  humorously.  Here,  the 
roosters  wake  me  up,  church 
services  are  attended  bare- 
foot, and  the  weekly  grocery 
trip  takes  3  hours  at  5  differ- 
ent tiny  stores,  which  make  a 
7- 1 1  look  like  a  food  ware- 
Looking  beyond  these  little 
"adjustments",  I  can  see  the 
breathtaking  nature  this 
island  possess.  While  swim- 
ming in  a  clear  lagoon  at  the 
bottom  of  a  cascading  water- 
fall, I'm  awed  by  the  beauty. 
To  think  that  this  is  just  earth, 
makes  the  beauty  of  heaven 
unimaginable. 


than  I  had  expected.  The  sky 
always  changes  its  awesome 
cloud  formations,  often  adding 
brilliant  rainbows.  Ebeye  is  far 
from  paradise,  but  sharp  eyes 
will  see  the  beauty  and  be 
blessed. 

The  people  are  wonderful. 
I'm  getting  to  know  my  kids 
more  and  more,  and  love  each 
one  of  them.  I  teach  34  fourth 
graders  and  a  freshman  English 
class.  My  Ihtle  ones  can  be 
challenging,  but  God  works 
little  miracles  ofien,  and  gives 
me  wisdom  and  love  to  teach 
them.  I  was  often  overwhelmed 
at  first,  but  now  !  have  given  my 
class  to  God  and  it's  no  longer 
my  burden.  I  r 
tienlly  for  Him  to  work  in  my 
students.  He  is  making  changes 
in  my  class  and  me. 

This  experience  doesn't  just 
happen  here  on  Ebeye.  It  hap- 
pens any  time  one  will 
sincerely  ask  God  to  change 
him  and  use  him  to  touch 
others.  Reaching  out  to 
others  is  the  way  to  be  the 
happiest  wherever  one  is 

Have  a  great 
year!  KEEP  IN 
TOUCH!!! 

Yokwe  Yuk, 


As  far  as  teaching  goes,  well, 
lets  just  say  that  teachers  de- 
serve a  raise!  I  already  realize 
that  it  takes  a  special  person  to 
dedicate  his  or  her  life  to  teach- 
ing. !  spend  7  hours  a  day  with 
24  ten  year  olds.  After  explain- 
ing an  assignment  to  the  class 
three  times.  I'm  ofien  faced  with 
explaining  it  again  individually. 
By  the  24th  time  I  often  want  to 
scream.  Sometimes  I  do.  Most 
of  the  time  I  pray,  and  every 
time  the  Lord  listens.  I  have  to 
constantly  remind  myself  that 
I'm  here  to  teach  them  about 
Jesus  and  to  show  them  His 
love.  When  I  think  that  these 
kids  are  children  of  the  King, 
teaching  turns  into  my  privilege! 

Well,  I  must  end.  It's  late, 
and  I  have  lesson  plans  to 
review.  Take  care.  Andre- 
member,  in  between  all  the 
classes  and  deadlines,  Jesus  is 
with  you! 

Much  love, 
Lorraine  Antolin

AIA  President  Visits  Southern 


By  Craig  Lastine 

Ivan  Bartolome  was  the 
Student  Association  President  at 
Southwestern  Advenlist  College 
during  the  school  year  1988-89 
and  is  the  current  Adventist 
Intercollegiate  Association 
President.  He  visited  Southern 
College  the  weekend  of  Septem- 
ber 23-24.  This  year  Ivan  is  a 
part-time  student  at  S.A.C..  and 
a  full-time  employee  of  the 
marketing  department  at 
Huguley  Hospital,  in  Fort 
Worth,  Texas. 

CL;  What  brings  you  to  South- 
IB:  I'm  visiting  as  many  Sev- 
enth-Day Adventists  Colleges  as 
possible  in  North  America.  I 
visited  Oakwood  before  I  came 
to  Southern,  and  three  weekends 
ago  I  was  at  Union  College. 
Basically  I'm  just  trying  to  get  a 
taste  of  each  of  the  different 
student  associations  and  a 
feeling  of  what  the  individual 


campuses  are  going  through. 
This  way  I  can  help  transmit 
information  between  the  col- 


acronym 
for  Advent- 
ist Intercol- 
legiate As- 
sociation, 
and  it's  ba- 
sically a 
governing 
group  for  all  the  different  SDA 
Student  Organizations  in  North 
America.  The  A.I.A,  serves  to 
facilitate  information  between 


the  different  colleges.  In  other 
words,  if  the  Student  Associa- 
tion at  Walla  Walla  college  is 
doing  a  project  and  it  is  very 

successful, 
he  should 
be  able  to 
share  that 
with  all  of 
our  S.D.A. 
colleges 

The  A.I.A. 
is  a  useful 
channel 
for  distrib- 
uting that 


CL:  Who 
makes  up 
the  A.I.A.? 


IB:  Student  Associations  from 
La  Sierra  College,  Atlantic 
Union  College,  Canadian  Union 


like 


College,  and  Southwestern  Ad- 
ventist College  make  up  the 
A.I.A.  And  I  add  that  the  A.I.A, 
is  also  trying  to  become  an 
international  organization.  We 
are  sending  letters  out  to  all  the 
Adventist  Colleges 
Bogenhaffen,  Cologne,  Sagunto, 
and  Newbold  inviting  them  to 
join  and  attend  the  annual  con- 
vention held  in  the  spring  at 
S.A.C.  In  addition  to  that,  we 
will  be  inviting  delegates  from 
Weimar  and  Hartiand. 


CL:  We  have  all  been  here 

Southern  for  some  time,  anc 

often  we  take  oi 

for  granted.  As 

are  your  impressions  of  South'

Lynn  Wood  Hall  Open  for  Business 


By  A.  Lee  Bennett  Jr. 

Lynn  Wood  Hall,  on  the 
campus  of  Southern  College 
of  Seventh-day  Adventists, 
is  once  again  housing 
classes  and  meetings  for  the 
first  time  in  4  years. 

The  old,  wood-frame 
building,  which  is  located 
west  of  Southern  College's 
Wright  Hail,  was  officially 
opened  during  the  college's 
Alumni  Homecoming  on 
October  27-29;  however,  the 
extra  rooms  which  are 
nearly  completed  on  the 
main  level  have  already 
been  put  to  use.  The  chapel 
^  been  used  for  classes, 
seminars,  workshops,  and 
the  Humanities  Rim  Series. 
The  north  classrooms  which 
have  been  carpeted  and 
partially  furnished  are  being 
used  this  semester.  The 
south  room  is  nearly  com- 
pleted and  will  house  South- 
em's  Alumni  Heritage 
Museum,  previously  located 


on  the  second  floor  of  Mabel 
Wood  Hall,  Southern's  music 
building. 

Public  relations  vice-presi- 
dent. Dean  Kinsey,  said  that 
refurbishing  Lynn  Wood  Hall 
has  "proved  to  be  a  blessing." 
The  college  no  longer  has  to 
schedule  academic  classrooms 
and  Wright  Hall  conference 
rooms  for  special,  non-student 
related  meetings.  Lynn  Wood 
Hall  contains  rooms  of  varying 
size  to  house  seminars.  It  has  a 
27 1  seat  chapel  for  larger 
events. 

The  building  is  also  used  to 
house  classes  for  extension 
programs.  "Southern  College 
has  at  least  two  masters  degree 
programs  that  are  extensions  of 
Loma  Linda  (University)  pro- 
grams." said  Kinsey.  "They 
meet  at  Lynn  Wood  Hall...when 
they  are  here." 

Lynn  Wood  Hall  was  origi- 
nally opened  in  1924  as  South- 
em's  administration  and  class- 
room building.  In  1967,  the 
administrative  offices  were 


moved  into  the  newly  built 
Wright  Hall,  the  current  ad- 
ministration building,  which 
made  room  for  even  more 
classrooms  in  the  building, 
and  the  WSMC  radio  studios. 
Upon  the  complerion  of 
Brock  Hall  in  1985,  the 
classes  and  the  radio  station 
moved  out,  and  Lynn  Wood 
Hall  was  closed  until  it 
became  the  subject  of  refur- 
bishing in  1987. 

Southern's  alumni  associa- 
tion and  Committee  of  100 
have  spent  $400,000  dollars 
on  the  main  floor,  which  is 
nearly  complete.  Both  the 
lower,  and  upper  levels  have 
yet  to  be  completed;  how- 
ever, work  on  the  lower  level 
is  under  way.  and  already 
houses  the  Strawberry  Festi- 
val studios.  Southern's  yearly 
multi-media  slide  show,  and 
the  college's  security  head- 
quarters, previously  located 
in  the  science  and  physics 
building,  Daniels  Hall. 


IB:  I've  visited  your  campus 
once  before,  but  it  was  only  for 
an  evening.  This  is  the  first 
time  I  have  gotten  to  take  a  look 
inside  your  campus  and  your 
student  association.  I  have  to  be 
right  up  firont  with  you  and  tell 
you  I'm  incredibly  impressed. 
It's  obvious  that  your  college 
has  had  a  long  term  plan  of 
development,  and  it's  obvious 
that  your  administration  has 
stuck  with  that  plan.  It  has  paid 
off. 

CL:  This  weekend  you  attended 
an  S.A.  event,  the  Progressive 
Party.  Could  you  comment  on 
the  activity  and  the  interaction 
between  students  and  faculty? 

IB:  The  kids  here  are  very 
vibrant.  The  kids  that  attended 
were  willing  to  speak  out  and 
participate.  They  were,  for  the 
most  part,  not  inhibited  at  all. 
Seeing  faculty  and  students 
actually  sit  together  and  have 
fun  is  something  really  wonder- 
ful.   Southern  College  is  a 
relatively  small  school  in  com- 
parison to  our  state  universities, 
yet  that  is  an  advantage.  It  give 
you  a  "You're  at  home  feeling." 
Your  administration  has  been  so 
cooperative  toward  the  Student 
Association  and  has  been 
willing  to  work  with  your 
students.  It  is  a  WIN- WIN 

'erywhere  you  look! 


For  the 
Health  of  It 


Q:  What  is  the  difference 
between  a  sprain  and  a 

A:  A  sprain  is  an  injury  to 
the  Ugaments  around  a  joint 
due  to  a  twisting  motion. 
Actual  tearing  of  the  liga- 
ment may,  but  nor  necessar- 
ily, occur.  This  tearing  will 
cause  damage  to  the  blood 
vessels  and  allow  them  to 
rupture.  During  the  first  2- 
3  hours  rapid  sweUing  and 
increased  pain  take  place 
due  to  the  bleeding  and 
seeping  of  fluids  from  the 
damaged  vessels  into  the 
tissues. 

A  strain  is  a  "muscle- 
pull"  caused  by  excessive 
stress  and  over-stretching. 
These  are  usually  micro- 
scopic and  partial  tears  in 
the  actual  muscles  tissue. 
Following  a  strain  one  will 
feel  sudden  pain  accompa- 
nied by  localized  tender- 
ness. Swelling  as  well  a.s 
bruising  also  take  place  due 
to  ruptured  and  damaged 
vessels. 

Q:  Is  there  any  possibility 
of  getting  AIDS  from 
coming  in  contact  with 
body  fluids  on  a  toilet  seat? 
A:  Well,  it  all  depends  on 
what  it  is  you  do  with  the 
toilet  seat.  As  of  now  there 
is  no  direct  evidence  that 
AIDS  is  transmitted 
through  casual  contact  with 
restroom  facilities.  Al- 
though the  virus  has  been 
isolated  in  a  wide  variety  of 
body  fluids,  transmission 
has  only  taken  place 
through  semen,  vaginal 
fluid,  blood  and  breast 
milk.  To  become  infected 
with  the  AIDS  virus  re- 
member that  the  virus  must 
somehow  enter  your  biood 

into  consideration  the  fact 
that  the  AIDS  virus  is  a 
very  fragile  one  once  it 
comes  in  contact  with  the 
air.  So  the  answer  is  no.. 
You  will  not  get  AIDS  by 
sitting  on  a  "sprinkled" 


It's

Don't  Worry,  Be  Happy 


By  Robert  J.  Kriegel,  Ph.D. 

Editors  note:  Robert  J.  Kriegel, 
Ph.D.— best  selling 
author  farmer  Ail-American 
athlete,  and  mental  coach  for 
Olympic  and  world  class  ath- 
letes— lectures  and  consults 
with  major  corporations  world- 
wide on  peak  performance, 
leadership  and  sirageties  for 
dealing  with  change.  Kriegel 
recently  look  parti  n  a  national 
lour  of  college  campuses  spon- 
sored by  the  makers  of  Nuprin 
Pain  Reliever. 

Worrying  is  the  negative  na- 
tional pastime.  Everybody  does 
it  and  very  few  find  it  is  a  pos- 
tive  experience.  You  don't 
think  clearly  or  perform  well 
when  you  worry.  The  fear  of 
"What  might  happen  if...," 
which  overwhelms  you,  makes 
you  fee!  depessed  .reduces  your 
energy,  and  prevents  you  from 
getting  your  work  done. 

Most  of  what  we  worry  about 
is  out  of  our  control.  You  can't 
control  other  people's  re- 
sponses, the  grade  a  prof  will 
give  us.whether 


agree  with  us,  what  they  think 
of  us,  the  weather,  traffic, 
roommates,  money,  how  we 
look,  grades,  the  future.  The 
more  we  worry  about  things  we 
can't  control,  the  worse  every- 
thing gets. 

Remember  this  rule  of  thumb: 
You  can't  control  other  people 
or  external  situations.  But  you 
can  control  how  well  you  pre- 
pare for  and  respond  to  them.  In 
other  words,  you  can  control 
your  information,  attitude  and 

Worrying  is  made  up  of  two 
words:  what  if.  "What  if... 
they  say  no,. ..I  don't  get  the 
money, ...the  professor 
assigns, ...the  traffic. .The  key  to 
beating  the  worries  is  to  change 
the  what  ifs  to  "if...thens,"  "If 
they  say  no.. .then  I  will..."  "If  I 
don't  get  the  money  ...then  I 
will..."  Always  change  the 
worry  to  anticipation.  Concen- 
trating your  energy  on  what  you 
can  change,  rather  than  dwelling 
on  things  you  can't  control 
increases  your  confidence  and 
prepares  you  for  any  situation. 

This  strategy  was  used  by 


President  John  F.  Kennedy. 
Before  his  press  conferences 
Kennedy  and  his  aides  antici- 
pated any  possible  question  or 
situation  that  might  arise  and 
developed  answers  for  them. 
Whether  a  reporter  asked  about 
the  Viet  Nam  War,  the  economy 
or  civil  rights,  Kennedy  was 
prepared. 

Likewise,  in  a  job  interview, 
instead  of  worrying  whether  or 
not  the  potential  employer  will 
ask  about  your  grades,  antici- 
pate that  he  or  she  will.  Then 
mentally  list  wins,  accomplish- 
ments and  qualifications  that 
your  course  grades  might  not 
reflect. 

Get  into  the  habit  of  anticipat- 
ing prior  to  any  pressure  situ- 
ation, whether  it's  an  exam,  an 
interview,  a  date  or  a  tennis 
serve.  Make  a  "worry  list"  then 
change  each  worry  (what  iO  to 
an  anticipation  (if  ..then). 
Leaving  your  worries  behind  by 
focusing  on  what  you  can 
control  enables  you  to  concen- 
trate your  energy  and  perform  at 
peak  levels.

David  Denton's:  Bits  and  Pieces 

Last  Rites  for  the  Old  Tabernacle 


ByL 


d  Denton 


So  the  old  Tabernacle  is  gone  is 
it?  It'salleast  half  gone.  Well, 
well,  what  a  diversion  for  the  folk 
on  a  lazy  Sabbath  afternoon! 

I  expect  there  are  those  who  were 
old  thing  go.  I

"The  only  mistake  they  made,"  he 
said,  "was  putting  the  fire  out!" 

Me,  I'm  not  going  to  jump  into 
that  debate.  There's  no  use  crying 
over  spilt  milk— or  burnt  buildings. 
Question  now  is,  what  are  we  going 
to  do  with  what's  left  of  the  struc- 

Several  suggestions  come  to 
mind.  They  could  sell  pieces  of  the 
building  to  college  alumni  who  long 
for  the  good  old  days.  Any  alumnus 
who  actually  remembers  participat- 
ing in  a  worship  service  in  the 
Tabernacle  could  be  cut  a  special 
deal,  buy  one  pice  of  charcoal,  get 

Another  closely  related  idea  is  to 
erect  a  solid  fence  around  the 
building  and  charge  a  modest 


would,  of  course,  be  admitted  free. 

Another  pmssibility  would  be  to  let 
Dean  Qualley  use  the  building  for  his 
office,  in  the  event  that  his  present 
office  should  prove  to  be  inadequate. 

If  none  of  these  ideas  strikes  your 
fancy,  why  not  give  the  building  to 
theS.A.?  Instead  of  having  to  go 
off-campus  for  the  bam  party  every 
year,  we  would  just  trek  up  to  the 
Tabernacle,  re-light  die  burnt  end  of 
the  building,  and  use  the  other  side 
for  the  bam.  How  efficient,  a  bam 
and  a  bonfire  in  one  neat  package. 

Perhaps  we  should  consider  going 
ahead  and  tearing  il  down  instead.  In 
its  place  we  could  erect  a  huge 
billboard  so  that  the  Collcgedale

to  hide  from  motorists.  After  e 
setting  up  speed  traps  in  the  Sovex 
parking  lot  seems  so  unprofessional. 

Another  idea  which  seems 
a  lot  going  for  il  (especially  s 
came  up  with  it),  is  to  lease  the 
Tabernacle  to  the  Volunteer  Fire 
Department  and  lei  them  have  il  for 
practice  every  year  or  so.  Besides 
the  obvious  benefit  to  the  fire 
department  and  it's  volunteers,  it 
would  give  the  school  and  coirmiu- 
nity  a  welcome  diversion  on  some 
lazy  Sabbath  afternoon. 


Burning  Old  Glory: 
Crime  or  Free  Speech? 


In  1984  a  protester  burned  a  U.S. 
(lag  during  the  Republican  National 
Convention  in  Dallas.  That  deed  w, 
wrong  in  the  sense  of  being  disre- 
spectful, tactless,  inreverent.  and 
repugnant.  But  desecrating  our

malcontent  of  a  crime.  But  ihe  United 
States  Supreme  Court,  acting  unchar- 
acteristically libertarian,  threw  out  the 
conviction  on  grounds  that  a  law 
prohibiting  flag  burning  violates  the 
freedom  of  nonverbal  speech.  The 
Court  probably  acted  wisely:  rights 
thai  encompass  freedom  should  be 
emphasized  over  objects  thai  symbol- 
ize freedom. 

But  President  Bush  seized  the 
moment.  With  Congressional  concur- 
rence and  popular  support  he  pledged 
to  seek  a  constitutional  amendment 
rendering  flag  burning  criminal  once 
again.  This  extreme  remedy  seems 

Opposing  such  an  amendment  may 
appear  unpatriotic,  and  organizaUons 
choosing  to  do  so  (such  as  People  For 
the  American  Way)  will  take  the  heat. 
but  the  case  is  solid  for  accepting  and 
not  reversing  the  Supreme  Coun's 
declaration.  If.  as  already  suggested, 
die  Court  found  correctly,  then  the 
proposed  amendment  puts  "an  asterisk 
on  the  First  Amendment,''  possibly 
starting  the  treacherous  process  of 
ing  to  identify  those  "free- 
that  the  bill  of  Rights  does  not 
Would  this  upset  the  delicate 


balance  between  the  free  exercise  and 
establishment  of  religion? 

But  beyond  the  merits  of  a  panicu- 
lar  constitutional  amendment  lies  the 
amending  act  itself.  Of  this  the 
framers  were  skeptical.  Use  it 
fhigally.  they  admonished — mainly  to 
define  institutional  relationships,  such 
as  those  of  federalism  and  the  separa- 
tion of  power,  and  only  rarely  lo  cure 
a  social  ill.  And,  they  might  have 
added,  if  a  social  ill  must  be  drasti- 
cally addressed,  be  sure  ii  is  not  rare, 
isolated,  and  eccentric  like  the 
incident  prompting  the  present 
controversy. 

Whatever  the  case,  a  number  of  flag 
desecration  bills  are  before  Congress. 
and  the  President  wants  something 
stronger  than  a  statute,  namely  an 
amendment  to  the  Constitution. 

The  House  has  voted  380-38  to 
make  flag-burning  a  federal  crime. 
But  the  numbers  are  complicated  by 
ihe  fact  that  tactics  rather  than 
substance  motivated  legislators  on 
both  sides  of  the  issue.  Voting  for  the 
bill  were  not  only  people  who  want 
flag-burners  in  prison,  but  also  people 

seeking-tG-forestaH-a-Gonstitutional 

amendment.  Opponents  were  split, 
too,  with  some  fearing  such  a  statute 
would  undermine  chances  for  a 
consliiuiional  amendment  and  others 
resisting  (7ny  form  of  legislative 
attack  on  the  Supreme  Court's  sound 
position.

Computer  Science  Department  Unveils  NeXT 


By  Izear  Feagins 

This  past  summer  the  Computer 
Science  Department  purchased  a 
UNIX  computer.  NcXT.  for 
academic  purposes. 

The  NeXT  computer  is  new  and 
was  purchased  by  fund-raising. 
Last  spring,  Americom.  a  computer 
company  in  Atlanta,  donated  a 
similar  five  year  old  UNIX  com- 
puter called  Dual  to  the  Computer 
Science  Department. 

Linden  deCarmo,  a  senior 
computer  science  major,  said  that 
the  NeXT  computer  can  store  over 
250,000.000  bytes  of  information, 
the  complete  works  of  Shakespeare, 
and  the  Webster's  Dictionary  and 


Thesaurus.  It  can  also  do  any  math 
problem  a  student  punches  into  it.  It 
can  send  characters  on  the  computer 
screen  and  recorded  voice  messages. 
This  computer  can  also  play  games 
like  chess  and  billiards  with  an 
opponent.  It  is  also  able  lo  do  things 
like  playing  music  while  a  student 
does  his  homework  on  it.  Lastly,  the 
NeXT  computer  has  the  best  possible 
laser  printing.  What  appears  on  the 
computer  screen  appears  on  the  print- 
out sheer.  Linden  said,  "What  you  see 
is  what  you  get. ..it's  an  art." 

Monte  Mitzelfeli.  sophomore 
computer  science  major,  said  that  it  is 
essential  for  a  computer  science  major 
or  software  engineering  major  to 
know  how  to  use  a  UNIX  computer. 


pnmarily  the  NeXT. 

The  NeXT  computer  which  has 
eight  megabytes  of  memory  and  a 
330  meg  hard  drive  is  used  by  the 
Physics  and  Math  Departments,  am 
is  very  regular.  Linden  said  that  w< 
need  more  UNIX  computers  on 
campus  because  of  the  great 
demand.  He  also  encourages  non- 
computer  majors  lo  use  the  com- 
puter. He  said  that  this  computer  is 
becoming  standard  around  the 

Steve  Jobs,  co-founder  of  Apple 
Computer  when  the  Macintosh 
Computer  came  out,  is  also  the 
founder  of  NeXT  computer.

years.     It  will  be  a  challenge,    said 

to  the  students'  request.  Experimental 
Psychology  is  not  one  of  Stevens' 
strengths,  but  he  loves  research  and 
believes  that  teaching  this  class  will  be 
a  learning  experience  for  him  and  his 
students  as  he  brings  "humor  and  fun 
into  the  subject  and  presents  it  as  a 
valuable  field  and  tool  for  people  to 
look  at  and  enjoy,"  said  Stevens. 
Stevens  obtained  his  degree  at 
Andrews  University  in  education  and 
counseling  psychology.  He  is  a 
certified  professional  counselor  and 
marriage  and  family  counselor  in  the 
Chattanooga  area.  He  is  also  a  clinical 
member  of  the  American  Association 
of  Marriage  and  Family  therapists  and 
a  Diplomat  of  the  American  Board  of 
Sexology.  His  field,  he  says,  is  proba- 
bly the  "most  lonely  field  to  be  in,"  but 
his  favorite  thing  about  it  "is  to  watch 
lives  change,  to  see  people  live 
successful  lives  and  reach  their 
potentials." 

Stevens  also  works  closely  with  the 
state  on  a  pilot  program  for  study  skills 
of  high  risk  children.  The  program  is 
designed  to  help  educationally 
disabled  children.  "I  describe  educa- 
tionally handicapped  as  anything  that 
keeps  that  child  from  learning,"  said 
Stevens.  The  program  has  been 
nominated  as  the  program  of  the  year. 

"He's  a  very  ulenied  man."  says 
Junior  psychology  major,  Kristie 
Brown.  He  has  hands-on  experience, 
and  he  can  bring  the  class  alive  by  the 
examples  from  his  own  experience." 
Stevens  enjoys  his  chance  to  come  to 
the  college  and  teach  because  "it's 
almost  a  vacation  from  my  regular 
routine."  He  also  finds  it  a  privilege  to 
teach  among  "very  talented  teachers 
and  students." 

"My  favorite  thing  about  teaching," 
said  Stevens,  "is  letting  the  student 
realize  that  the  world  of  psychology 
can  be  a  field  in  which  a  Christian  can 
provide  a  much  needed  service  to  the 
general  public  in  the  correlation 
between  faith  and  learning."  Many 
Christians  have  looked  down  upon  the 
field  of  psychology,  said  Stevens,  but 
"psychology  is  the  study  of  sinful  man. 
and  if  you  arc  able  to  bridge  that  gap 
of  understanding,  then  you  are  able  to 
give  someone  hope."

Low  Mid-term  GPA  Excuse  #37 


By  Mike  Hernandez 

When  I  received  my  mid-lerm 
grades  lasl  week,  my  firsi  reaction  was 
to  change  my  name  and  move  lo 
Canada  were  I  could  stan  a  new  life 
for  myself.  I  quickly  decided  against 
ihis  plan  when  I  realized  thai  Canada 
is  populated  mostly  by  Canadians 

hockey.  Hockey  is  much  like  soccer 
because  Ihe  final  scores  arc  always  1- 
0,  or  in  certain  riveting  games,  2-1. 
But,  let's  get  back  lo  my  grades.  As 
you  may  have  guessed,  my  G.P,A, 
was  a  little  below  the  4.0  expected  by 
my  parcnLs  and  the  Academic  Dean, 
Dr.  RoydCreenlcaf.  Parents  and

school  when  my  air-conditioner  was 
broken.  The  heat  in  my  room  thai 
week  was  almost  unbearable.  You 
could  not  lie  still  for  more  than  20 
minutes  without  patches  of  fungus 
growing  on  your  skin. 

During  that  week  I  developed 
several  strategies  for  beating  the  heai 
which  I  will  reveal  to  you  so  you  can 
use  them  when  your  a 


I  -  Make  use  of  your  refrigerator. 

Sleeping  is  very  difricult  when  the 
room  temperature  is  over  107  degrees. 
I  dealt  with  Ihis  by  turning  my 
refrigerator  up  lo"Hr'  and  sleeping 
with  my  head  inside  the  freezer 
companmenl.  This  worked  very  well 


until  the  cockroaches,  which  are 
abundant  in  every  men's  dormitory 
room,  also  discovered  the  freezer. 
2  ■  If  you  do  not  have  access  to  a 
refrigerator,  I  suggest  you  perspire. 

Perspiration  is  Mother  Nature's  own 
natural  cooling  system.  When  your 
Central  Nervous  System  realizes  that 
your  air-conditioner  is  broken,  it  sends 
a  message  to  your  sweat  glands 
(perspirus  odiferus),  which  are  located 
in  you  armpits.  The  sweat  glands 
immediately  start  pumping  perspira- 
tion and  making  your  shirt  smell  Uke  a 
dead  hamster.  To  counteract  this,  you 
should  put  on  anti-perspirant.  But  this 
forces  Mother  Nature  to  re-route 
perspiration  to  the  mouth  where  it 
forms  bad  breath. 

My  final  strategy  for  beating  the 
heal  islo  stay  out  of  your  room  alto- 


gedier.  This  is  what  I  finally  had  to 
do  until  the  repairman  came  and 
installed  a  new  air-conditioner,  which 
brings  me  back  to  my  G.P.A.  Since 
my  air-conditioner  was  broken,  I  was 
forced  lo  stay  qui  of  my  room,  which 
is  where  my  books  were  located. 
Obviously  I  could  not  study. 

I  tried  to  explain  Ihis  to  my  parents, 
but  they  suggested  the  obviously 
impractical  solution  of  taking  my 
books  out  of  my  room  to  study. 
Parents  can  be  so  illogical  sometimes. 

So.  if  any  of  my  teachers  (Drs. 
Williams.  Kinsey,  Worth.  Richards, 
and  Cline)  are  reading  Ihis,  please 
lake  this  into  consideration  when  you 
are  making  out  the  final  grades.  1  may

Humanities  Film  Series  Shows  The  Seventh  Seal 


November  18,  8:00pm 
Lynn  Wood  Hall 

Ingmur  Bcrman's  films  have 

Uniied  Stales.  This  is  because 
American  audiences  have  tradition- 
ally a.ssumed  that  the  primary 
purpose  of  a  film  is  to  tell  a  story — 
and  director  Bergman  has  other 
inieresis.  Despite  the  fact  thai 
Modernism  in 


nied  by  sound— contained  the  poien- 
lial  to  investigate  and  illustrate  the  in- 
creasingly problematic  human 
condition.  One  of  the  most  famous  of 

was  the  Swedish  director  Ingmar 
Bergman. 
The  Seventh  fj^l  opens  peculiarly. 
"  crusader  returning  to  his 


ing.i 


since  abandoned  such  a  simple 
simplistic  means  of  reflecting  a 
complex  and  at  limes  incomprehen- 
sible reality,  film  (paniculariy  in  the

indeed  for  himself  that  Death  has 

ready—to  which  Death  replies:  'No 
one  ever  is."  In  an  aiiempi  to  literally 
play  for  time,  the  crusader  challenges 
Death  to  a  game  of  chess.  As  long  as 
the  crusader  prevents  Death  from 
beating  him.  the  crusader  is  allowed  to 

The  crusader  has  a  specific  reason 
for  asking  for  more  lime.  Having 
spent  years  on  a  crusade  experiencing 
much  suffering  white  wimcssing  even 


more,  the  crusader  wanu  to  observe  a 
brief  inleriude  of  human  happiness 
before  Death  claims  him.  Yet  every- 
where the  crusader  looks,  he  sees 
death:  death  on  the  crusades,  death 
from  the  plague,  death  caused  by 
superstition.  Much  of  this  suffering 
and  death  is  instigated  by  the  one 
medieval  institution  supposedly 
dedicated  to  alleviating  suffering— the 
church.  It  is  the  church  that  calls  the 
crusades,  that  encourages  superstition 
which  results  in  flagellation  and 
burnings  at  the  stake.  Where  is  human 
happiness  to  be  found? 

The  crusader  finds  happiness  in  an 
unlikely  place.  He  happens  on  to  a 
family  of  traveling  minstrels  (not 
insignificantly  namedMary  and 
Joseph)  and  their  infant  son.  Reveling 
in  outdoor  living  and  life's  simple 
pleasures,  ihey  generously  share  their 
simple  food  with  the  crusader,  thus 
displaying  the  joy  and  happiness  after 
which  the  crusader  has  searched.  The 


viewer  should  not  miss  the  irony  of 
this  encounter.  The  church  (ostensi- 
bly the  source  of  charity  and  love) 
causes  death  and  suffering.  The  en- 
tertainment industry  (symbolized  by 
Mary  and  Joseph  and  officially 
frowned  upon  by  the  church  for  its 
laughter  and  frivolity)  provide 
examples  of  happiness  and  love. 

After  a  nocturnal  journey  through 
a  forest,  during  which  the  crusader 
prevents  Death  from  taking  Mary 
and  Joseph  and  their  baby,  the 
crusader  and  members  of  his 
household  are  summoned  by  Death. 
This  time  there  is  no  postponement. 

In  Bergman's  allegory  we  all  play 
chess  with  Death.  Life  and  Death 
are  inseparably  close.  Ii  is  not  a 
question  of  whether  or  not  we  will 
win.  In  this  life.  Death  always  wins. 
The  question,  for  Bergman  at  least, 
is  how  long  the  game  will  last  and 
how  well  we  will  play  the  game.

both  very  accident  prone." 

Now,  rooming  together  for  the 
first  time.  Robert  and  Ronnie  are 
very  close.  Robert  says  of  his

three  agree.

"They  are  always  there  for  me 
when  I  have  problems  or  if  I  need 
someone  to  talk  to.  They  are  like

Measles  Epidemic  Feared 
at  Southern  College 


For  Ihe  past  several  weeks,  Elanor 
Hanson.  Director  of  Student  Health, 
has  been  gathering  information  about 
the  vulnerability  of  the  student  body 
of  Souihem  College  lo  the  measles

asking  them  to  let  us  know  whether 
they  have  been  vaccinated  or  not," 
says  Hanson.  She  suggests  that 
students  turn  in  Ihe  information  before 
Chrisimas  vacation  because  she  fears 
Ihat  otherwise  "there  will  be  a  line  of 
five  hundred  students  with  restricted

would  be  notified  within  the  hour.

Although  there  have  been  no 
reported  cases  of  measles  on  Souih- 
em's  campus  for  Ihe  last  nine  years, 
there  have  been  four  reported  cases  in 
nei{hboring  Bradley  County  this  year, 
There  are  both  students  and  faculty 
who  reside  in  Bradley  County. 

The  main  objective  of  the  informa- 
lion  program  is,  according  to  Hanson, 
"to  learn  how  vulnerable,  the  campus 
is,  because  if  we  are  very  vulnerable 


they  should  go  to  be  vaccinated.  If  an 
immunization  program  were  insiiiuied 
on  campus,  ii  would  probably  cost 
each  student  requiring  service,  iwenty- 
five  dollars  lo  be  vaccinated. 

If  deiecied  early,  a  student  who  has 
contracted  the  virus  could  be  kept  in 
isolation  for  a  period  of  four  lo  six 
days.  The  sickness  usually  lasts  len 

The  seasons  which,  according  lo 
Hanson,  seem  most  conducive  lo 
measles  outbreaks  are  Fall  and  Spring. 

According  to  Hanson,  "when  the 
college  sees  a  real  and  eminent  threat 
lo  the  health  of  Ihe  student  body,  ii 
will  act  more  decisively.  If  this  is 
necessary,  the  previous  cooperation  of 
the  students  will  help  ihe  Health 
Services  EJepanment  lo  act  more 
accurately,  more  quickly,  and  with 
less  confusion  and  hassle."

'  It's 


springtime  in  Chile  now.  There  are 
many  beautiful  flowers  blooming  and 
the  hillsides  are  starting  to  mm  green. 
Slowly  but  surely  all  the  snow  on  the 
Andes  mountains  is  melting  away. 
Chile  is  very  beautiful  and  at  limes  1 
feel  like  I'm  in  Swii7.erland.  I  guess 
about  now  in  the  Slates  all  the  trees 
are  beginning  to  change  colors.  I  bet 
it's  really  pretty  there. 

I'm  sorry  for  not  writing  this  letter 
sooner,  but  my  life  has  been  very 
hectic  getting  used  to  everything.  It's 
quite  a  shock  when  you're  dropped 
into  a  strange  country,  with  a  different 
language,  a  new  job,  a  new  culture, 
and  not  knowing  anyone.  The  shock 
has  subdued  now.  and  life  is  becoming 
more  usual  lo  mc.  I'm  learning  and 
adapting  quickly  to  the  language  and 
ways  of  Chile,  in  fact  some  of  my 
friends  call  me  the  Chileno  Gringo. 

I'm  living  with  the  secretary  of  the 
Chile  Union  and  his  family.  They  are 
good  Christian  people  and  have  been  a 
greai  help  to  me.  They  are  Argentini- 
ans, so  I'm  learning  a  liiile  about  that 
culture  as  well,  I'm  living  in  Las 
Condes,  which  is  a  good  section  of 
Santiago.  My  work  is  not  loo  far  from 
my  house,  so  I  ride  the  bus  lo  and 
from  ihe  Union.  It  seems  like  every- 
body and  his  brother  rides  the  bus 
here.  There  are  over  8,000  buses  in 
Santiago  alone. 

My  main  obligation  in  Chile  is  lo 
teach  English  lo  Ihe  officials  pastors 
and  workers  of  Ihe  Seventh-day 
Adveniisi  Chile  Union  Mission  and  of 
ADRA/OFASA  (a  food  and  relief 
agency).  On  the  average  1  have  25 
classes  per  week.  My  students  range 
from  Union  presidents  to  janitors,  and 
from  pastors  to  secretaries.  In  other 
words.  I  leach  everyone.  They  are  all 
at  different  levels.  Some  are  first  level 
beginners  and  others  are  ready  for 
conversational  classes.  I  have  some 
private  classes  and 
classes.  Needless  l 
challenge  teaching 


and  learn  more  of  Ihe  couniry.  I've 
been  lo  many  different  pans  of  Chile 
and  nnet  many  wonderful  people. 

Throughout  my  day  1  assist  the 
workers  in  writing  and  translaiing 
letters  lo  and  from  the  Uniied  Stales,  i 
also  help  people  translaie  forms  that 
are  in  English  and  understand  differ- 
ent items  of  material  from  the  General 
Conference  of  S.D.A.'s  in  Washington 
D.C. 

Last  month  (September)  was  a  big 


n  Chili 


national  holidays.    September  11th 
marked  the  anniversary  of  General 
Pinochet  taking  control  of  the  counny 
in  1973.  September  18lh  was  Chile's 
Independence  day  and  September  19lh 
was  Ihe  celebration  It  seemed  every 
house  had  a  Chilean  flag.  There  were 
a  lot  of  traditional  dances  (the 
"cueca")  and  a  whole  lot  of  "empana- 
das".  Empanadas  are  a  favorite 
traditional  food  in  Chile.  It  was  very 
interesting  seeing  all  the  shows  and 
learning  how  another  country  cele- 
brates its  independence. 

Each  day  I  am  met  by  new  chal- 
lenges. I  am  learning  a  lot  in  Chile 
and  I'm  sure  ihat  when  I'm  done  here 
I  will  look  back  and  say  1  was  glad  I 


came.  Every  day  is  a  class  for  me.  I 
ihoughl  I  was  going  lo  get  a  break 
from  my  classes  by  becoming  a 
Studeni  Missionary,  but  I  was  wrong. 
Every  day  I  learn  new  ihings.  I'm 
learning:  a  new  language,  a  new 
culture,  new  customs,  a  different 
geography,  how  to  teach,  how  to  corr 

patience,  and  so  much  more.  The 
mosi  important  thing  I'm  learning 
though,  is  total  dependence  on 
God.  I  have  good  days  and  I  have 
bad  days,  but  it's  the  Lord  that  carrii 
me  through  them  all.  Anything  that 
accomplished  here,  and  anything  I 
learn  is  a  direct  result  of  ihe  support 
and  prayers  of  you,  and  God's 
leading  and  helping  hand  in  my  life. 
Thank  you  so  very  much  for  your 
letters,  prayers,  and  support;  wiihou' 
it  I  don't  know  where  I'd  be.  I  ihinl

T  am  proud  of  the  students  of 
Soulhem  College.  In  general  they  are 

behavior  in  which  too  many  show  a 
lack  of  courtesy  and  understanding  of 
proper  decorum.  [  am  speaking  of  the 
behavior  I  have  observed  at  concerts 
in  Ackerman  Auditorium,  the  P.E. 
Center,  and  Ihe  Church. 

where  performers  and  audience  are 
interacting  in  an  aesthetic  and  spiritual 
cupenence.  This  experience  is  largely 
negated  when  talking,  studying  (with

going  to  something  special  (which  you 
are).  Think  of  how  you  might  dress

formed solos  or  in  a  group  know  how 
distracting  talking  is  when  you  are  on 
stage.  It's  equally  disturbing  in  the 
audience.  (By  the  way.  turn  off  your 
watch  beeper  before  the  concert.)

when  to  clap,  depend  on  the  musicians

between  movements  of  works  is 
generally  not  acceptable. 

By  observing  these  five  suggestions

self-defense  class  is  in  the  making.  A 
Chattanooga  police  officer  has  told  Dr. 
Wohlers  that  the  class  will  be  given. 
Students  will  receive  more  information 
as  the  program  develops. 


The  Senate,  a  body  of 
tives  for  students  at  SC.  invited 
Target  Hardening,  a  security  service 
company  in  Chattanooga,  in  October 
to  discuss  SC's  need  for  proper 
lighting.  Sherrill  Long,  security 
supervisor,  said.  "Security  lights  are 
needed  around  all  building,  sidewalks, 
(and)  back  of  propeny...the  lighting 
is  very,  very  poor."  Senate  agreed 
that  lights  arc  needed  on  the  side- 
walks between  Brock  Hall  and  both 
dorms,  the  ladies'  as  well  as  the 
men's  parking  lot,  and  the  Conference 
Center.    The  Senate  has  also  said  that 
a  fence,  which  would  seal  off  the 
courtyard,  needs  to  be  behind  the  girls 
dorm.  The  senators  added  that  we 
need  an  official  patrol  car  with  a 
recognizable  paint  Job  and  lights. 

The  Senate  has  not  yet  spoken  to 
administration  about  these  sugges- 
tions. So  far.  the  Senate  has  only 
asked  the  administration  to  inform 
students  about  the  rape  and  to  squelch 
the  rumors  circulating  around 
campus.  Dr.  Wohlers  did  so  in  an 
October  assembly. 

Adrianne  Ballistone,  an  activist 
against  rape  spoke  lo  Thatcher 
residents.  Her  objectives  were  to 
develop  an  understanding  of  sexual 
assault  and  rape,  to  practice  preven- 
tive action,  and  lo  enhance  coping 
skills. 

She  said  that  rape  is  never  ihe 
victim's  fault,  and  that  sexual  assault 
happens  to  children  as  well  as  adults. 
She  also  said  that  rapists  become 
progressively  violent. 

For  preventive  action,  she  encour-

was  introduced  in  1950  by  the 
American  Craftsmen's  Educa-

give  these  artists  an  avenue 
through  which  they  can  com- 
pare and  analyze  their  work 
with  the  work  of  their  contem- 
poraries. The  exhibition  fea-

New  iVI.A.S.  computer 
being  tested  in  library 


By  A.  Ue  Bennett  J r, 

"Oh  great,  now  the  library  has 
another  machine  1  have  to  learn  how  to 
use!"  was  ihe  phrase  overheard  by  one 
of  many  McKee  Library  patrons. 

The  Magazine  Article  Summary 
computer  has  found  a  temporary  home 
in  Ihe  library's  periodical  area,  on  a  60 
day  trial  period,  with  jusi  over  two 
weeks  to  go.  Students  will  not  "have" 


do  will  find  it  extremely  beneHcial 
when  looking  up  magazine  articles. 

If  the  library  decides  to  keep  the 
index  after  the  trial  period,  the 
computer  supplier.  Ebsco.  will  replace 
iis  CD-ROM  "brains"  once  a  month. 
essentially  leaching  it  every  magazine 
and  every  article  the  library  carries,  as 
well  as  a  few  the  library  doesn't  cany. 
The  semi-current  CD-ROM  disc 
currently  used  by  the  index  contains 
over  200  general  magazines  from 
January  1984  to  the  present. 

Upon  silting  at  the  machine  for  the 
firsi  time,  all  one  has  to  do  is  enter  a 
title  of  an  article  wanted,  an  author,  or 
the  mosi  popular  category,  subject. 
The  computer  will  then  quickly  search 
Ihe  CD-ROM  for  all  articles  pertinent 


reference  two  additional  entries.  A 
few  seconds  later,  a  list  of  articles 
fitting  the  search  pattern  will  appear 


even  a  short  summary  of  the  article. 
The  summary  is  probably  the  best 
feature  of  the  index  because  a  user 
can  immediately  see  whether  or  nol 
the  article  is  relevant  to  what  he  or 
she  is  looking  fi 


fore: 


:  subject,  author,  or  litle.  a 
topic  browse  can  also  be  done,  which 
will  give  an  alphabetical  lisl  of  every 
subject  the  index  recognizes. 

Once  a  decision  is  made  to  keep  the 
computer,  Ebsco  will  replace  Ihe  CD- 
ROM  disc  monthly  for  nine  months 
out  of  the  year.  A  lack  of  use  is  Ihe 
reason  the  remaining  three  summer 
months  will  not  be  updated. 

By  keeping  up-to-date  with  the 
monthly  disc  replacemenis,  Ihe 
computer  will  have  reference  to  all  of 
the  library's  periodicals,  and  also  lell 
if  a  given  article  is  even  contained  in 
the  library.

Frogs  cannot  possibly  have  any  sort

frogs  go  lo  Ihe  bathroom  on  mush-

For  the  Health  of  it 


By  Darlene  Almeda 

Q:  Since  you  are  one  of  ihe  health 
service  nurses,  could  you  possibly 
explain  why  I  have  been  given  aspirin 
for  three  very  different  problems? 

A;  Aspirin  is  your  good,  all- 
around,  multipurpose  medicine. 
Aspirin  or  ASA,  which  stands  for 
acctylsalicyllc  acid,  has  a  wide  range 
of  functions  besides  curing  head- 
aches. Here  are  a  few.  Ii  lowers 
fevers,  and  works  as  an  anli-inflam- 
maiory  agent.  It  also  has  an  analgesit 
effect,  and  decreases  blood  cloning. 
Because  of  all  of  these  actions,  we  at 
Healdi  Service  take  advantage  of  the 
inexpensive,  yet  powerful,  effects  of 
ASA  when  treating  sprained  ankles, 
fevers,  headaches,  toothaches. 
muscular  soreness,  flu  symptoms. 


backaches,  menstrua!  cramps,  and 
several  other  ailments. 

Although  you  may  feel  you  need 
something  stronger  for  your 
specific  problem  when  visiting 


Health  Service  besides  ASA, 
please  be  aw 
to  offer  you  thai  which  will  have 
the  least  side  effects  and  still  be 
therapeutic  enough  to  help  you

Mitchell  races  on  Turkey  Day 


by  Jim  King 

While  you  and  I  were  home  for  ihe 
holidays  snug  in  our  beds,  dreaming 
about  the  fabulous  Thanksgiving  feasi, 
Chris  Mitchell  was  pounding  ihe 
pavement  at  the  Atlanta  Thanksgiving 
Marathon  and  Half-Marathon. 

The  starting  gun  went  off  at  7:30 
a.m.  and  30  mph  winds  had  forced  the 
temperature  below  25  degrees.  "It 
was  freezing  cold!"  said  Chris. 

According  lo  Chris,  there  were  ai 
least  five  thousand  runners  starting  the 
1 3.5  mile  race,  and  the  great  push  of 
humanity  kept  the  pace  high  during 
the  first  pari  of  the  race.  "It  was  like 
a  vacuum."  said  Chris.  "I  ran  6:30 
miles  for  five  miles." 


Things  were  going  smoothly  for 
Chris  when  he  ran  into  a  problem. 
Nature  called.  "Those  pon-o-johns 
sure  come  in  handy  around  mile 
seven."  he  laughed. 

Feeling  the  cold,  Chris  said  he  was 
shocked  when  a  man  who  looked  like 
he  was  in  his  seventies  blitzed  by  him 
wearing  only  silk  shorts  and  Nikes, 
"He  really  blew  me  away!"  said  Chris, 
'There  was  no  way  I  could  keep  up 
with  him." 

Chris  said  he  didn't  gel  to  train  for 
the  race  as  much  as  he  had  wanted  to 
so,  "around  the  eleven  mile  mark  I  ran 
out  of  gas."  He  was  really  struggling 
at  the  twelve  and  a  half  mile  mark 
when  a  miracle  happened.  "A 


was  threatening  to  pass.  It  really 
motivated  me  to  pick  it  up  and  I 
stayed  with  her  the  rest  of  the  way." 
Chris  ended  with  a  total  time  of  1 
hour  27  minutes.  Not  bad  for  Uking 


People  lining  Ihe  streets  kept  yelling  a 
me  to  keep  going.  I  kepi  wondering, 
'Where's  the  end!'" 

Chris,  who  is  the  coordinator  of  the 
Well/Fitness  program  for  Southern 
College  is  planning  to  run  full  and  hal 
and  compete  in  tri/

resides  in  McDonald.  Tennessee,  jusl 
outside  of  Oollewah.  He  is  best 
known  for  his  work  announcing  and

He's  worked  al  various  radio

Chattanooga's  favorite  disk  jockey. 
He  was  the  first  radio  personality  to 
beat  WDEF's  Luther  Masingil  for  that 
title. 

Shortly  after  his  popularity  peaked. 
Y-102  approached  him  with  a  "lucra- 
tive 3-ycar  contract",  says  Dale.  What 
looked  like  what  was  going  to  be  a 
popular  station  with  a  good  format 
went  sour.  "The  owner  interfered 
with  daily  programming  and  kept 
changing  the  formal",  says  Dale.  At 
first  Ihe  station  did  well,  but  its 
popularity  slowly  tapered  off.  After 
hearing  rumors  that  the  station  was 
going  to  be  sold  (it  was,  and  is 
currently  known  to  listeners  as  FOX 
102)  and,that  ratings  were  declining, 
Deason  decided  it  was  time  to  get  out. 

Before  leaving  Y-102.  he  had  been 
making  arrangements  to  start  his  own

Thoreau."  said  Smith.  "Thoreau

Tweniy-eighi  years  ago,  a  symbol 
division  between  East  and  West 
Germany  was  erected.  For  twenty- 
eight  years  East  Germans  were

wall  which  separated

Moody  explains.  "I  saw  dozens  of

Young  people  value 
Christmas  tradition

Younger  people  are  more  likely  than 
their  seniors  to  celebrate  an 
old-fashioned  holiday,  says  a  new 
survey. 

Eighty-eight  percent  of  those  aged 
18  to  24  will  decorate  a  Christmas  tree, 
compared  with  69  percent  of  all  ages, 
according  to  a  poll  of  1,000  people 
nationwide  by  Alamo  Rent  A  Car, 

Younger  people  are  also  more  apt  to 
exchange  gifts  (90  percent  vs.  83.2 
percent;  send  cards  (87  percent  vs.  8 1 
percent);  and  bake  holiday  treats  (83 
percent  vs.  80  percent).;  and  hang  the 
mistletoe  (50  percent  vs.  42  percent).

Letter  to  the  Editor 


Recently  a  friend  received  a  notice 
staling  chat  she  had  skipped  dorm 
worship  ten  times  and  would  conse- 
quently be  fined  $25.  Her  I.D.  card 
would  also  be  deactivated.  As  it 
turned  out  Ihey  were  able  to  make 

worships  skipped,  and  she  did  not  have 
to  pay  the  fine.  Her  I.D.  card  was  not 
deactivated. 

This  event  however,  caused  me  to 
refiect  seriously  upon  the  school's 
religious  regulations  and  consequently 
come  to  the  following  conclusions. 

As  it  stands  presently.  Southern 
College  requires  dorm  students  to 
attend  four  worships  a  week,  three 
dorm  and  vespers.  Sabbath  School  and 
Church  are  also  required. 

Apparently,  if  ten  or  more  skips 
from  dorm  worship  are  taken  the 

being  fined  $25  and  being  denied  the 
use  of  his/her  I.D.  card.  In  essence, 
students  are  punished  for  not  attending 
religious  activities. 

Those  who  enforce  such  regulations 
will  suggest  thai  if  a  student  does  not 
want  to  attend  religious  activities  then 
Ihey  should  choose  an  alternative 
educational  institution. 

Let's  look  at  it  this  way.  The 
difference  between  a  Christian  school 
and  a  public  school  is  ihai  a  Christian 
school  provides  religious  activities,  a 
public  school  does  noL  Because  a 
student  chooses  to  attend  a  Christian 
school  over  a  public  school  should  that 
mean  that  he  must  be  forced  to  attend 
the  religious  activities?  A  Christian 
school  should  provide  the  opponuni- 

should  noi  require  the  attendance  of 
iiuch  activities..  By  requiring  students

school  provides?  Should  we  not  leave 
the  choice  up  to  the  student  just  as 
Christ  leaves  the  choice  up  to  us  to 
follow  him? 

L«t  us  not  assume  that  if  worships 
were  no  longer  required  that  students 
would  no  longer  come.  I  strongly  be- 
lieve that  if  worships  and  church  were 
optional,  many  students  would  still 
attend.  They  would  attend  out  of  their 
own  spiritual  aliveness  and  desire  10 
enter  God's  presence.  Other  SDA 
campuses  have  discontinued  the  re- 
quirement to  attend  daily  worships  and 
have  found  a  decline  in  worship  and 
church  attendance.  Yet  at  the  same 
time,  this  does  not  prove  that  the

spiritual  worships. 

Most  students  I  am  acquainted  with

College  age  young  people  should 
not  be  required  10  attend  structured 
worship  services.  The  mere  fact  that 
Ihey  have  chosen  to  enroll  at  a 
Christian  college  should  be  a  refiection 
of  their  spiritual  aliveness.  Thus,  they 
choose  an  institution  where  religious 
activities  are  provided.  In  the  event 
that  Ihey  choose  not  to  attend  should 
not  be  an  assumption  thai  Ihey  are 
spiritually  weak  and  need  prompting

Chattanooga  Times 
editor  visits  Southern 


By  Randal  Gilliam 

Paul  Neely,  the  Managing  Editor  of 

Southern  College  Wednesday,  Decem- 
ber 6.  as  Ediior-In-Residencc.  Neely 
is  a  volunteer  in  a  program  sponsored 
by  the  American  Society  of  Newspaper 
Editors.  The  program's  purpose  is  to 
bring  newspaper  professionals  into  the 
classroom.  "I  think  its  a  good  sign  Ihal 
Southern's  Department  of  Journalism 
is  interested  and  involved  with  the 
professional  world,"  said  Neely. 
"Some  journalism  departments  recede 
into  themselves.  I  think  its  good  that 
they  are  trying  to  maintain  a  program 
that  is  grounded  in  reality." 

Neely  spent  the  morning  in  Brock 
Hall  speaking  to  three  journalism 
classes  in  a  row.  He  discussed  putting 
oui  a  paper,  becoming  a  managing 
editor,  and  the  editorial  position  of  the 
Times.  During  a  luncheon  meeting 
hosted  by  the  Journalism  Club.  Neely 
offered  a  critique  of  the  Southern 
Accenl-  "What  I  like  best  about  the 
Accent  is  the  Viewpoints  section. 
Ordinarily,  I  hale  the  man-on -the -street 
stuff,"  said  Neely.  "However,  it  .seems 
a  different  paper  with  each 


focus  of  the  paper  and  keep  a  consis- 
tent layout." 

During  the  afternoon  Neely  lectured 
on  the  role  of  the  press  in  shaping 
public  opinion  and  conducted  individ- 
ual meetings  with  students. 

Neely  has  been  involved  in  similar 
cditor-in-residence  programs  with  the 
University  of  Tennessee  at  both  the 
Chattanooga  and  Knoxville  campuses. 
He  has  not,  however,  conducted  an  all 
day  program  before.  "This  is  my 
yearly  quota  in  one  day."  said  Neely. 

Neely  did  his  undergraduate  work  at 
Williams  College  in  Massachusetts. 
He  received  a  joint  Masters  Degree  in 
Journalism  and  Business  Administra- 
tion from  Columbia  University  in  New 
York.  Neely  has  worked  in  California 
at  the  Riverside  Pr^jis-Enterprise  as  a 
reporter,  in  Kentucky  at  the  Louisville

Leningrad.  Dr.  Arseny  Berezin  lived 
a  fairly  normal  childhood — playing 
the  violin  and  going  10  school.  He 
did.  however,  spend  a  year  in  a 
remote  Soviet  village  not  knowing 
whether  his  parents  were  alive  or 
dead  during  World  War  n  After  this 
year  of  uncertainty,  he  spent  another 
two  years  in  ihe  orphanage  before  he 
returned  home  and  continued 
playing  his  violin  all  throughout 
prep  school.  Before  he  finally

cadets.  By  ihc  time  he  was  twenty- 
three,  he  discovered  his  first  love, 
physics,  and  joined  and  A.F,  loffe 
PhysTcarfcchnical  Institute^  . 
Academy  of  Sciences  in  Leningrad. 
Methodically,  he  rose  from  the  ranks 
of  ordinary  technicians  to  become 
the  Deputy  Head  of  Physics,  a 
position  he  held  until  he  left  the 
Institute  in  1987.  During  this  period 
he  met  Dr.  Ray  Heffcrlin,  whom  he 
and  his  wife,  Helena,  also  a  doctor 
of  physics,  hosted  during  Hcfferlin's 
two  visits  to  Ihe  Soviet  Union  in 
1979  and  1982-  Dr.  Berezin 
compared  Hefferlin's  work  favora- 
bly with  Dmitri  Mendeleev,  the 
creator  of  the  periodic  table.  They 

friends,  the  single  largest  contribut- 
ing factor  to  hi,s  visit  to  CoLegedale, 
although  he  was,  in  his  own  words, 
"very  glad  to  accept  the  invitation 
and  share  my  knowledge  in  Ihe 
seminars"  as  well.  In  1987.  he  was 
hired  by  the  Science  Technology 
Corporation  of  the  Soviet  Academy 
of  Sciences  in  Leningrad  to  be  the 
head  of  its  physics  department.  The 
Science  Technology  Corporation 
manufactures  scientific  insinimenta- 
tion.  maintains  four  factories  in  four 
different  Soviet  cities,  and  operates 
one  research  and  development 
facility  in  its  headquarter  city  of 
Leningrad.  Dr.  Berezin  currently 
has  three  children — one  a  theatrical 
scenery  painter,  one  graduating  in 
January  with  a  degree  in  biophysics, 
and  a  five  year-old  son  who  speaks  a 
liltle  English  even  though  he  can't 


sources  of  energy.  His  current  trip 
to  Ihe  United  States,  which  is  his 
second,  is  as  a  Soviet  delegate  lo 
the  Center  for  Iniemational  Security 
and  Arms  Control  at  Stanford 
University.  Better  known  as 
CISAC.  the  Center  involves  nine 
nations — Great  Britain,  Ireland, 
China,  South  Korea,  the  United 
States.  Israel,  West  Germany,  Italy 
and  the  Soviet  Union — and  seeks  lo 
shift  the  emphasis  of  research  and 
development  from  a  military 
orientation  to  a  civilian  one.  They 
feel  that  existing  satellites  could  be 


situation  on  Earth  and  provide  the 
necessary  information  to  help 
reverse  the  growing  trends  of  ozone 
depletion,  deforestation,  soil  ero- 
sion, and  firesh  water  shortage. 

Insightfully,  Dr.  Berezin  said, 
"None  of  these  problems  could  bie 
solved  by  one  nation.  They  require 
close  cooperation  and,  I  would  add, 
a  spirit  of  brotherly  love  as  ex- 
pressed by  the  commandments,." 
And  indeed,  he  is  not  only  worried 
about  the  future  of  mankind  in  the

When  asked  if  there  is  room  for 
God  in  physics.  Dr.  Berezin  replied, 
"Plenty.  The  more  we  know  the 
more  room  there  is  for  God,"  which 
was  apparently  his  main  point  in  his 
lecture  to  the  faculty.  He  also 
mentioned  that  "the  way  of  atheism 
goes  to  nothing." 

This  marriage  of  science,  nature, 
and  ethics  seemed  to  be  his  primary 


ntheei 


"How  c 


e  the  develop- 


and  keep  harmony 
between  man  and  nature?"  Since 
1970  when  he  joined  the  European 
Physical  Society.  Dr.  Berezin  has 
made  this  question  Ihc  focus  of  his 
scientific  endeavors.  He  has  also 
made  significant  c 


physics.  During  the  past  nineteen 
mittees  facing  such  challenging 


he  did  say  a  few  words  about  the 
political  situation  in  the  U.S.S.R. 
The  overall  tide  of  political  cnlight- 

straight-forward  thing  but  has 
fluctuated  greatly  over  lime.  The

As  for  the  forthcoming  McDonald's 
in  Moscow,  he  felt  that  it  will  be 
"very  much  accepted  and  have  the 
longest  queues  [lines]  in  the  world." 
This  he  said  was  not  so  much  thai

dial  feeling  of  "come  lo  Americans, 
be  closer"  that  pervades  Ihe  Soviet 
people.  In  fact,  he  said  that  the 
Soviets  tend  to  idealize  American 
culture  and  liteiaiure  despite  any 
flaws  our  way  of  life  might  possess. 
In  some  of  his  final  words,  words

The  song  "Here  Comes  Santa

College  Concert  Band  convinced 
Santa  and  his  helpers  to  parade 
through  the  P.E.  Center  last  Satur- 
day night. 

Not  to  be  outdone  by  ihe  band, 
Santa  and  his  helpers  convinced  the 
audience  of  dieir  musical  abilities  as 
they  sang  "Feliz  Navidad." 

Another  guest  performer  for  the 
evening  was  Joseph  Brooks, 
clarinetist.  Coming  from  Western 
Kentucky  University,  Brooks  led  ihe 
band  in  "Theme  and  Variations,"  by

Bill  Kittle,  religion  major  said,

same  amount  of  effort. 

scientific,  computerized,  result-getting 
method  of  studying  "to  pass  examina-

of  this  long-awaited,  grade-boosting. 
modem  miracle  is  Ron  Orlick.  a 
software  developer,  who  sweated 
blood  over  dozens  of  crucial  examina- 
tions "the  old  fashioned  way"  during 
his  pre-compuier,  undergraduate  and 
posi-graduate  years. 

"There's  got  to  be  a  better  way," 
said  Ron  to  himself,  before,  during, 
and  after  every  examination.  Finally, 
he  found  that  "bencr  way".  He 
developed  a  revolutionary  IBM 
compatible  software  program,  which 
he  calls  CRAMBO,  To  introduce 
CRAMBO  to  colleges  and  universities 
across  the  nation,  the  regular  price  of 
5199,00  has  been  slashed  by  Si  I4,IX}. 


CRAMBO  Users  can  input  high-

quizzes,  past  exams,  into  the  computer 
in  several  question/answer  formats. 
This  is  so  easy  that  even  a  two-finger 
typist  can  use  CRAMBO.  Each  entry 
is  tagged  to  the  page,  chapter,  text- 
book, notebook,  where  it  originated. 
Through  self-testing,  students  can  pin- 
point exact  pages  that  need  more  study 
and  by-pass  those  with  which  they  are 
thoroughly  familiar. 

This  exciting,  new  computer 
program  is  aimed  at  helping  all 
CRAMBO  users  to  dramatically 
improve  their  grades.  It  is  expected  to 
sweep  through  every  college  and 
university  at  which  it  is  introduced, 

Ron  Orlick  worked  his  way  through 
college  and  has  a  special  affinity  to 
students  with  limited  financial  re- 
sources. This  led  him  to  develop 
CRAMBO  into  a  "money-maker"  as 
well  as  a  "grade-booster"  for  college 

CRAMBO  on  any  course  he  is  taking,

Drama  is  a  refleciion  o

neglected  and  otherwise. 

Now  in  his  fourth  year  with 
Destiny  Drama  Troupe-two  of  those  as 
director-Martin  has  shaped  a  touring 
company  in  demand  across  the  nation 
for  perfonnances  at  Adventisi  gather- 
ings where  young  adults  are  present. 

He  won't  take  all  the  credit, 
though.  The  company,  in  its  tenth  year, 
has  lapped  the  talented  and  stretched 
them  and  given  ihem  stage  presence, 
poise,  and  a  driving  message. 

"Christian  drama  is  on  a 
plateau  above  secular  drama  in  that  the 
purpose  is  beyond  entertainment," 
Martin  emphasizes. 

"We  liy  to  take  Jesus  Christ 
out  of  the  ethereal  twilight  zone  to 
where  we  can  touch  him,  feel  him  and 
develop  a  relationship  with  Him." 

Martin  calls  drama  the  perfect 
vehicle  for  addressing  relalionships- 
with  God  or  anyone  else.  Relationships 
we've  developed  and  relationships 
we've  neglected. 

'"It  shows  us  ourselves," 
Martin  explains. 

And  that's  where  "Convicted 
to  Commitment,"  this  weekend's 
performance  at  Thatcher  Sabbath 
School,  comes  in.  Martin  has  selected 
from  a  repenory  of  20  sketches  and 
vignettes  he  has  written. 

With  a  major  in  psychology 
and  a  minor  in  public  relations,  Martin 
is  a  master  at  targeting  his  audience, 
anticipating  iheir  anxieties  and 
addressing  them  head-on.  Using  this

Since  April  1988  a  group  of  profes- 
sional men  and  women  living  in  the 
metropolitan  area  of  Washington, 
D.C.,  have  banded  together  to  speak

Craig  Lastine,  a  senior  Biology 
major  and  SA  [^resident,  began  the 
week's  sermons  after  "allowing" 
Ndaia  Gooding  to  create  a  worship 
atmosphere  with  a  vocal  solo. 
Personal  experiences  in  cycling 
races  and  roller-derby  competitions 
with  his  mother  contributed  to 
Lastine's  topic,  "It  Starts  In  Your 
Mind."  Lastine  was  emphasizing  a 
victory  in  the  bailie  of  die  mind,. 
Using  U  Corinthians  10:3-5.  he 
suggested  we  "personalize  and 

e  Scripture  to  make  it  mort 


rity  was  Lastine's  pica  for  students, 
"Don't  be  different  for  diffcreni's 
.sake.  Be  different  for  God's  sake." 

On  Tuesday  evening  Marlyn 
Lamond  gave  special  music.  David 
Wingaie  immediately  followed 
with  his  sermon,  exclaiming  "It's 
lime  to  go  home!"  Wingaic  is  a 
future  medical  missionary  and  a 
nursing  major  at  S,C.  His  sermon 
was  entitled  "We  Shall  Overcome." 
Handouts  of  Spirit  of  Prophecy  and 
Biblical  quotes  were  provided  so 
students  could  follow  Wingaie 
closely.  He  reminded  those  present 
that  everyone  is  a  royal  son  or 
daughter  of  God — heirs  to  salva- 
tion. Using  elementary  education 
major  Shannon  Bom  as  an  illustra- 
tion, Wingaie  proved  that  with  jusi 
"trying"  we  won't  get  very  much 
accomplished.  We  need  the  grace 
of  God. 

Love  was  on  Laura  Pumum's 
mind.  After  a  vocal  solo  by 
graduate  Joey  Pollom  on  Wednes- 
day, Putnum,  a  junior  nursing 
major,  presented  her  sermon  "It's 
Where  Your  Heart  Is."  She  talked 
about  three  kinds  of  love:  man's 
love  for  man,  man's  love  for  God, 
and  God's  love  for  man.  Students

biblical  principles  which  bear  on  the

1.  The  Bible  supports  the  I 
of  women  through  the  principles  of 
unity,  equality,  and  spiritual  gifts. 

2.  Ellen  White  approved  of  women 
and  men  serving  the  Church  with  equal 
authority,  recognition,  and  pay. 

3.  The  fulfillment  of  the  gospel 
commission  by  the  Adventisi  Church 
requires  the  spiritual  gifls  of  women  in 
the  ordained  ministry.

a  freshman  with  a  dream  lo  speak 
someday  for  a  vespers  service  in 
Coltegedale  Church.  In  the 


shisd 


;came  more  specific, 
"To  have  Jennifer  Eaton  sing  'There  is  a 
Saviour'— and  to  embarrass  the  people  I 
love,"  His  dream  came  true.  Jennifer 
sang,  and  his  girlfriend  and  best-friend 
were  on  the  front  row.  "Your  Relation- 
ship with  Jesus"  was  Cundiff  s  topic. 
and  he  shared  two  things  needed  to  have 
one.  The  first  was  "Recognize  the 
Lordship  of  Christ,"  and  the  seeond, 
"Set  Christ  Up  as  Your  Saviour." 
Cundiff  explained  that  no  one  can  save 
himself,  no  matter  how  good  he  is.  But 
Cundiff  warned,  a  balance  between  the 
two  is  important,  "Unless  Jesus  is  your

students. 

Ed  Saniana.  director  of  CA.R.E.. 
spoke  for  the  Collegedale  Church 
Sabbath  morning,  first  and  second 
services.  He  focused  on  being 
positive  about  Christianity  and  the 
fact  that  peoples'  problems  do  not 
cease  when  they  become  Christians; 
however,  their  attitudes  should 
change.  A  positive  altitude  comes 
from  believing  that  God  will  work 
things  out.  "We  have  to  be  positive 
about  ourselves,  the  situation  around 
us,  and  about  others,"  Saniana  said. 
"Can  people  accept  another  who 
comes  to  their  church  wearing  torn

Being  positive  may  not  be  man's 
nature,  but  by  believing  God's 
promises,  it  does  not  have  to  be  done 
alone.  There  is  no  victory  without 
victory  in  Jesus."

The  following  aiticle  about 
strange  things  falling  from  the  sky 
appeared  in  the  Sepi.  8  Arkansas 
Gazette.  Apparently,  this  kind  of 
incident  has  been  happening  all 
over  the  country  for  years:

What  caused  bats  to  descend  on

react?  Had  such  a  thing  happened 
before? 

These  are  the  kinds  of  questions 
an  author  such  as  E,  Randall  Floyd 
would  ask,  and  he  has,  by  writing  a 
compelling  collection  of  stories

mystery  of  Atlantis,  Edgar  Cayce, 
the  famous  "sleeping  prophet"  of 
Virginia  Beach.  Va..  in  1945 
predicted  that  "in  1968  or  1969"  a 
portion  of  Atlantis  would  rise  from 
the  sea  off  the  Coast  of  Florida. 

In  1968.  an  underwater  structure 
was  discovered  off  the  Rorida 
Coast  —  a  structure  exhibiting 
eroded  marble,  stone  columns,  a 
mysterious  roadway. 

Really,  it  was!

Floyd  raises  these  questions  while 
informing  the  reader,  and  he  does  it

fan,  Abalone  may  be  the  game 
for  you. 

Though  Abalone  greatly  re- 
sembles the  popular  Chinese 
checkers,  it  uses  the  concept  of 
pushing  lo  defeat  the  opponent. 

Unlike  other  board  games  that 
use  concepts  of  surrounding  or 
jumping  the  opponent  lo  win  Ihe 
game,  such  as  in  checkers  or 
chess,  this  game  "is  the  only 
game  in  history  to  use  the 
pushing  concept  like  in  sumo 
wrestling."  says  Matt  Meriani, 
national  sales  manager  for 
Abalone. 

The  object  of  the  game  is  lo 
line  up  your  marble  balls 
diagonally, 
horizonially  or  vedically  until 

e  of  your  opponent's  marble 


balls  i) 


if  the 


slots  bordering  the  inner  part  ol 
the  game  board.  When  all  of 
your  opponent's  marble  balls 
have  been  pushed  off  the  board 
into  one  of  the  bordering  slots, 
you've  won  Ihe  game. 

Abalone,  which  has  received 
its  share  of  honorable  awards  fi 
strategy,  has  only  been  on  the 
market  in  the  United  States  sin< 
February.  But,  it's  been  quite 
popular  in  Europe  for  a  while. 

"It  originated  in  France  at  a 


p  for  k 


Meriani. "The  typical  game  only 
lasts  fifteen  minutes...  and  it's 
very  challenging. 

It's  the  new  backgammon  for 
college  kids," 

Abalone  retails  between  S28 
and  S32,  and  is  presently  sold 
only  in  high  quality  stores. 

"People  say  they  love  to  play 
the  game."  says  Meriani.  "It's  a 
gift  for  a  person  that  (already) 
has  everything."

Mental  Practice  can 
improve  performance

When  Chinese  pianist  Liu  Chi  Kung 
placed  second  to  Van  Clibum  in  a 
1958  intemaiional  competition,  his 
career  as  a  virtuoso  seemed  assured  — 
only  to  be  ihwaned  a  year  later  when 
the  Chinese  government  put  him  in 

But  even  though  he  never  touched  a 
keyboard  in  jail,  he  was  on  tour  within 
months  of  his  release  and  —  according 


Backed  by  evidence  like  Kung's  and 
Bales'  experiences,  researcher  and 
"Peak  Performers"  author  Dr.  Charles 
Garfield  flatly  asserts:  "There  can  be 
no  questioning  thai  mental  rehearsal  of 
future  events  brings  results." 

Another  example  of  how  just 
thinking  about  it  can  alter  an  event's

This  might  seem  astonishing,  but 
according  to  Ances  Sheikh,  a  psy- 
chologist at  Marquette  University, 
"Research  shows  that  mental  practice 
has  the  same  effect  as  real  practice." 

Dallas  Cowboys  defensive  back  Bill 
Bales  agrees:  "The  night  before  the 
New  York  Giants  game.  I  had  an 
image  where  I  saw  myself  pulling  in 
two  interceptions.  1  saw  it  all  in  my

of  mind  power,  put  together  three 
teams  to  compete  at  the  baskeiball 
free-throw  line.  One  group  was  lold  to 

hoop  for  30  days.  A  second  group 
practiced  shooting  free  throws  every 
day  for  an  hour.  The  third  group  was 
told  to  imagine  sinking  free  throws  for 
an  hour  a  day,  but  not  to  touch  the  ball. 

One  month  later,  ihey  were  tested. 
The  first  group  showed  no  change  in 
accuracy.  The  second  group,  who  had 
played  daily,  improved  24  percent.  The 
third  group  of  non-shooters  who  had 
only  thought  about  putting  the  ball 
through  the  hoop  did  almost  as  well  — 
Ihey  showed  23  percent  improvement 
without  ever  dribbling  a  ball  on  the 

"What's  happening  here."  says 
Thomburg,  "is  thai  in  mental  rehearsal 
you're  engaging  your  subconscious  as 


an  ally  in  pursuit  of  goals.  With 
imaging  reinforcing  the  goal's  impor- 
tance, the  subconscious  will  put  that 
goal  very  high  on  your  priorities, 
making  it  far  more  likely  that  you'll 
unconsciously  begin  adjusting  your 
actions  in  ways  that  will  make  that 
goal  happen  for  you.  The  mind  is  a 
marvelous  tool.  When  freed,  it  will 
find  so  many  ways  for  us  lo  achieve 

This  might  seem  a  liltle  far-reach- 
ing, but  it's  actually  something  thai  we 
all  do.  "Who  hasn't  projected  into  the 
future,  to  see  where  their  career  or 
company  is  heading?"  asks  Garfield. 
"Once  we  establish  that  mental 
rehearsal  is  just  an  amplification,  a 
more  systematic  version  of  what  we 
already  do,  it's  noi  difficult  at  all  for 
people  to  see  the  applications  this 
technique  can  have  in  their  own  lives. 

Before  you  start  putting  this 
powerful  tool  to  work,  ihe  first  siep  is 
10  get  relaxed.  "That's  essential,"  says 
Thomburg.  "It  frees  you  from  the 
clutter  of  your  day,  from  worrying 
about  tasks  that  are  ahead.  Only  when 
you're  relaxed  will  your  mind  open  to 
fresh  ideas  and  techniques." 

Although  relaxation  tapes  are 
available  in  book  and  record  siores. 
that  type  of  assistance  isn't  needed  to 
get  the  requisite  calm.  Los  Angeles 
psychotherapist  Allen  Rabinowitz 
offers  this  proven  technique:  "Sit  in  a 
chair,  relaxed.  Close  your  eyes  and 
listen  10  yourself  breathe.  Pui  your 
attention  on  the  sound  of  air  coming  in 
and  going  out.  Then  empty  your  lungs 
and  slowly  take  a  deep  breadi.  Do  ihat 
again  and,  as  you  exhale,  feet  yourself 
relax.  Do  it  five  more  times;  then 
you're  done.  It  lakes  90  seconds." 

Then,  says  Thomburg.  who  teaches 
mental  rehearsal  in  seminars  and  also 
hosts  the  nationally  syndicated  "Power 
Thoughts"  radio  show,  "Lei  your 
thoughis  wander  through  your  mind. 
Stop  paying  anention  to  them.  Now 
think  about  a  happy  period  of  your  life 
—  it  doesn't  matter  what  or  when  it 
happened.  Really  get  in  touch  with  that 
experience.  Now  slide  into  imagining 
what  it  is  you  want  to  achieve,  from 
giving  a  great  speech  to  turning  around 
a  corporate  downslide  in  profits, 
making  the  experience  as  real  and  as 
detailed  as  you  can.  Take  il  all  the  way 
from  the  beginning  through  successful 
completion.  That's  it.  You've  jusl 
mentally  rehearsed." 

Thomburg  explains  that  ihe  key  is 
beginning  the  process  wilh  images  of 
that  earlier,  happy  memory.  'The  sub- 
conscious is  gening  two  messages  — 
first,  that  you're  happy;  the  second 
message  deals  with  the  specific,  future 
goal.  The  subconscious  associates  ih 
goal  with  your  happiness,  so  it 
determines  to  work  towards  il," 
Thomburg  says.

For  The 
Health  Of  It 

ByDarlene  Almeda,  R.N. 

Q:  What  are  the  symptoms  of 
measles? 

A:  Once  again  here  are  the 
main  symptoms  of  measles:  first 
one  gets  classic  cold  symptoms 
such  as  a  runny  nose  and  sore 
throai.  A  fever  of  up  to  104 
degrees  follows  accompanied  by 
white  patches  in  the  mouth,  and 
finally  a  rash  which  begins  at  the 
hairline  and  eventually  spreads 
down  to  the  feet.  Remember,  this 
is  a  highly  contagious  disease  and 
upon  contraction  one  will  be  put  in 
isolation  for  up  lo  two  weeks. 

Q:  I  hear  there  is  chicken  pox 
going  around  this  campus.  How 
do  you  catch  it? 

A:  True.  There  have  been 
several  cases  of  chicken  pox 
among  the  students  here  ai 
Southern  College.  Chicken  pox. 
also  known  as  varicella  zosler  is 
through  respiratory 
and  direct  contact  with 
new  lesions.  This  means  that  one 
contracts  it  by  breathing  air  or 
somehow  ingesting  the  contami- 
nated droplets..  The  varicella 
zoster  virus  incubates  for  13-17 
days  before  one  can  actually  see 
the  blistering  lesions,  and  it  is  con- 
tagious unul  scabs  have  formed 
over  all  the  lesions,  usually  a  week 
after  onset. 

So,  because  one  doesn't  know 
how  is  carrying  the  virus  until  the 
actual  symptoms  appear.  1  must 
emphasize  how  difficult  it  is  to 
avoid  getting  it  once  ihe  initial

Upcoming  Events 


By  Andrea  Nicholson 

iatwiaiy  is  the  bleakesi  monih  of  the 
school  year.  Billerly  cold,  wel.  hazy 
days  bring  wiih  them  posi-Christmas 
vacaiion  letdown  and  dreary  spirits. 
But  as  next  semester  slowly  creeps 
into  its  third  weekend,  the  Student 
Association  will  throw  a  party  that 
will  bring  excitement  and  summer- 
time back  to  the  campus  of  Southern 
College. 

IT'S  THE  2ND  ANNUAL 
SOUTHERN  COLLEGE  BEACH 
PARTY!!!  Coming  to  the  gymna- 
sium on  Saturday  night,  January  20. 
It  will  begin  at  9  p.m.  and  continue 
until  2  a.m. 

"If  you  had  a  good  time  last  year, 
plan  on  an  even  better  time  this  year," 
said  Harvey  Hillyer,  S.A.  social 
vicepresidenl. 

Last  year's  bash  attracted  hundreds 
of  students  decked  out  in  summer 
attire.  Although  temperatures  were 
biting  outside,  the  gym  was  trans- 
formed into  an  80  degree  party  place, 

swimming  pool  activities,  contest, 
volleyball  and  Twister  games. 
refreshment  stands,  and  Beach  Boys 
music  piped  over  loud  speakers. 
Hillyer  said  the  theme  for  this 
year's  bash  will  be  "The  Boardwalk." 
Instead  of  using  a  company  to  set  up 
the  party,  the  S.A.  is  planning  all  the 
activities  themselves.  Tentative  plans 
include  a  dunking  booth,  dart  throw, 
more  pool  activities,  a  lip-sync 
contest,  and  beach  areas  like  last  year. 
Also  a  pool  of  Jello,  in  which  students 


can  dive  for  specially  marked 
golf  balls  that  can  be  used  to 
claim  prizes,  is  in  the  platuiing. 
"There  will  be  more  food  and 
free  ice  cream  this  year,"  said 
Hillyer.  So  don  your  suits. 
Grab  a  towel  and  some  friends.

Computer  thieves  strike 
Daniells  Hall 


.By  Bradley  Hyde 


10:00 


Last  Saturday  night  belw 
pm  and  10:40  am  Sunday  moming 
four  computers  were  stolen  from  the 
computer  science  lab  in  Daniel's  Hall. 
The  four  systems  have  a  retail  value  of 
roughly  S30,000.  The  advanced  lab 
had:  I )  a  NeXT  computer  with  high 
resolution  display,  optical  disk, 
keyboard  with  mouse,  and  a  laser 
printer;  2)  a  Polywell  386  computer 
with  VGA  color  monitor;  3)  a  Wells 
American  AT  computer  with  EGA 
color  monitor;  and  4)  a  Laser  Turbo 
XT  computer  with  CGA  monitor.  All 
the  machines  had  hard  disk  drives. 


The  loss  of  this  equipment  leaves  i 
lab  with  just  one  Laser  Turbo  XT 
computer  with  CGA  color  monilor  f 
the  10  students  in  the  graphics  class 
use.  There  may  be  an  insurance 

deductible  and  since  the  insurance  is 
provided  by  tl 


eSDA 


church  and  Southern  College.  Even  if 
full  replacement  is  made,  it  will  be 
some  time  before  students  have  the 
equipment  ihey  need  to  properly 
complete  their  class  work. 
Security  checked  the  building  at 
12:00  midnight  and  3:00  am  but  didn't 
notice  anything  missing.

U.S.  Air  Force  and  Army.  Emory 
University,  and  Vanderbili  University 
are  among  (he  employers  and  graduate 
schools  tentatively  scheduled  lo 
participate  in  "Opporlunilies  '90." 

Three  foriy-minute  workshops  will 
be  conducted  during  both  moming  and 
afternoon  sessions.  These  include 
"Opportunities  WiEh  the  Federal 
Government"  al  9: 10  a.m.  and  1:40 
p.m.,  "Graduate  School  Decisions  for 
Success  in  the  2lsl  Century"  at  10:00 
a.m.  and  2:30  p.m.,  and  "Interviewing: 
Why  Should  I  Hire  You?"  at  10:50 
a.m.  and  3:20  p.m. 


K.R.  Davis  encourages  all  S.C. 
students  to  take  advantage  of  the  Job/ 
career  fair.  "Start  as  a  freshman 
looking  into  what's  available,  and 
asking  questions,"  he  said. 

The  fair  is  a  chance  to  prepare 
earlier  than  other  job  seekers,  lo 
practice  and  fine  tune  interviewing 
skills  with  employers,  and  to  learn 
what  opportunities  are  available  with  a 

A  bulletin  board  outside  the  Testing 
and  Counseling  Center  in  the  Student 
center  has  information  about  partici- 
pating employers,  including  which 
ones  will  be  conducting  interviews. 

Southern  has  worked  closely  with 
Bryan  College,  Covenant  College.  Lee 
College,  Tennessee  Temple  Univer- 
sity, and  Tennessee  Wesleyan  College 
10  coordinate  "Opporlunilies  ''iO." 
Each  of  these  four-year  institutions  has 
a  strong  liberal  ans  tradition.  Employ- 
ers taking  pan  in  the  job  fair  want  lo 
hire  students  from  such  an  educational 
background.

The  Times,  they  are  a  changin' 


By  John  Caskey 
...and  now  il  is  1990.  These 
are  sad,  strange  limes.  Times  of  fear 
and  horror,  shame  and  degradation, 
squalor  and  fihh.  There  is  unresi  in  ihe 
slreels  all  over  Eastern  Europe.  The 
Plague  is  in  the  Sireels  of  San  Fran- 
cisco and  in  New  York's  concrete 
Jungle.  Neo-Nazis  roam  the  West 
terrorizing  sheep  and  cattle.  In  New 
Orleans  there  are  rumors  that  49ers  are 
slinking  into  town  and  preparing  a 
SuperBowl  ambush  for  the  hapless 
Denver  Broncos.  Gangs  roam  the  cities 
with  brains  full  of  chemicals  and  souls 
full  of  hate.  But,  there  is  fear  in  their 
eyes  and  in  the  eyes  of  a  lot  of  other 
people  from  Baku  to  Panama  City  and 


all  points  in  between.  There  is 
something  in  the  air.  The  natives  are 
growing  restless.  Sometimes,  late  at 
night,  I  think  I  can  hear  the  drum  beat

face  Armageddon,"  The  former 
President  makes  no  claim  on  the  gift 
of  prophecy,  but  the  smart  money 
agrees  wiih  the  Gipper  on  this  one. 
All  over  Arkansas,  survivalisis  are 
deepening  their  foxholes  and 
slocking  up  on  canned  goods. 

And  what  of  Collegedale? 
More  specifically,  what  of  Southern 
College?  Profound,  dangerous  things 
are  happening  all  over  the  world  at  an 
increasingly  rapid  pace.  "Nation  will 
rise  against  nation,  and  kingdom 
against  kingdom.  There  will  be 
famines  and  earthquakes  in  various 
places,"  (Matthew  24:7)  Yea,  verily. 
But.  what  of  Collegedale?   What  of 
Southern  College?  Are  we  ready  for 


this?  If  not,  what  are  we  doing  to 
prepare  ourselves?  "Therefore  keep 
watch,  because  you  do  not  know  on 
what  day  your  Lord  will  come." 
(Matthew  24:42)  Are  the  watchmen 
awake? 

A  story  is  told  of  mad  king 
Richard  in  of  England.  As  he  loured 
Ihe  camp  defenses  early  on  the  morning 
of  Ihe  battle  where  he  met  his  death,  he 
came  upon  a  watchman  who  had  fallen 
asleep  at  his  post.  Richard  took  out  his 
dagger  and  slii  the  man"s  throat  saying. 
"I  found  him  asleep  and  I  leave  him 
asleep."'  The  Thing  that  inspired 
miserable  old  Richard  is  alive  and  well 
today.  There  may  be  worse  things  in 
store  for  sleepy  modem  day  watchmen 
than  mere  throat  slitting. 


Adventist  Physicists  to  meet  here 


Physics  teachers  probably  h 
of  the  most  closely-k 
of  any  professors  on  Seventh-day 
Adventisl  campuses.  They  have 
formed  the  Assiaciation  of  Advenlis 
Physicisis,  which  now  also  has 
members  on  faculties  of  other 
institutions  and  members  who  wor^ 
for  industry  or  government,  and 
which  is  international  in  scope. 

li  is  a  long-standing  tradition  for 


afier  the  joint  meeting  of  the 
Americal  Physical  Society  and  of  the 
Americal  Association  of  Physics 
Teachers,  at  the  nearest  SDA  college. 
This  joint  meeting  is  always  in  New 
York,  even  if  ii  lakes  place  some-

is  ihe  "New  York  meeting  at

Dr.  Ken  Thompson,  of  PUC). 

On  Friday  evening  from  7:30  to  9:30, 
Dr.  Rand  McNally  (who  does  not  make 
maps)  will  present  "A  Mailer  of 
Pressing  Concern,"  which  deals  with  a 
physicist's  search  for  the  solution  to  a 
thermonuclear  holocaust. 

On  Sabbath  afternoon  from  3:00  to 
5:00  pm.  Dr,  Milo  Anderson  will  make 
a  presentation  and  lead  the  subsequent 
discussion  on  the  interface  between  faith 
and  scholarship. 

On  Saturday  evening  from  6:45  to 
7:30  the  Physics  Deparunent  will  host  a 
reception,  with  refreshments,  in  honor 

On  Saturday  night  from  7:30  to  9:30 
or  so,  there  will  be  a  short  business 
session  of  the  AAP,  and  a  couple  of 
presentations  about  teaching  physics 
(with  computers?)  will  be  given.  Most 
Collegedale  natives  will  be  at  the  Beach 

Joint  meeting  of  APS/AAPT  will  be 
in  Atlanta.  January  21-25. 

Physics  students  would  benefit  from 
attending  some  of  this  meeting.  Seeing  a 
crowd  of  physicisis  scurrying  from 
session  to  session,  or  plotting  something 
(and  experiment?  a  theory?  a  proposal 
for  funds?  a  job  interview?)  in  the  halls, 
is  truly  a  remarkable  experience.  Some 
of  the  talks  are  interesting;  books  and 
equipment  are  displayed.  If  a  sufficient 
interest  exists,  perhaps  transportation 
can  be  arranged.  How  about  Tuesday?

New  deadly  sins  for  the  90's 


By  JVLIE  HINDS 

©Copyrighi  1990.  USA 
TODAY/Apple  College  Informaiion 

The  original  seven  deadly  sins 
are  pride,  greed,  lust,  glutlony,  envy, 
anger  and  sloth.  To  cop  a  phrase  from 
George  Bush,  they're  baaaad,  they're 

That  is,  they  were  until 
recently.  In  the  last  10  years,  the  seven 
deadlies  seem  to  have  shifted  rapidly 
from  venal  to  mainstream.  Remember 
how  "Wall  Streei"'s  Gordon  Gekko 
^id  greed  is  good?  Have  you  asked  a 
couch  potato  about  slolh  recently?  Can 
a  society  with  chocolate-covered  Orcos 
retain  any  concept  of  gluttony? 

In  lieu  of  getting  a  major  oil 
company  to  endorse  them,  we  asked 
several  social  commenlaiors  for  the  top 
sins  of  contemporary  times.  Here's  a 
septet  of  candidates  (with  special 
thanks  to  Donald  Trump,  who  currently 
is  guilty  of  them  all). 
—  ACQUISITIVENESS 

"Greed  isn't  a  way  of  sin," 
says  San  Francisco  Chronicle  colum- 
nist Alice  Kahn.  "It's  become  a  way  of 
life." 

But  in  the  '80s.  having  a  big 
bank  account  was  no  longer  enough.  It 
was  more  imponani  to  acquire  the 
perfect  wife,  the  cutest  kids,  the  purest- 
bred  pooch,  the  shiniest  coffeemaker. 
"The  drive  to  get  objects  to  validate 
yourself —  it  makes  me  want  to  leave 
the  country,"  moans  writer  Cynthia 
Heimel. 

Think  of  acquisitiveness  as 
super- unleaded  greed.  Donald  Trump, 
poster  boy  for  acquisition,  personifies 
all  that  is  bad  about  the  sin,  according 
to  San  Francisco-based  writer  Jean 
Gonick. 


"Here  is  someone  wl 

really  make  a  difference  for  p 


But  he's  like  a  4-year-old.  His  name 
has  to  be  on  everything.  He  buys 
whatever  he  wants  without  even 
paying  lip  service  to,  'Gee,  Til  fix  the 
eanhquake  rubble.'  1  cannot  think  of  a 

—  SMUGNESS 

If  the  '80s  had  a  human  face, 
it  would  be  sneering.  In  fact,  it  would 
look  a  lot  like  David  Letlerman.  A 
smart-aleck  fraternity  boy  with  a 
white-bread  outlook,  Letlerman  took  a 

Bulbs  and  milked  a  half-hour  of 
material.  Just  Bulbs?  What  a  crass, 
stupid,  middlebrow  name.  We'd  never 

As  the  tide  of  Smug  humor 
grew,  some  comics  took  a  stand 
against  it,  "It's  not  an  honorable 
approach,"  says  comedian  Richard 
Beizer.  Others,  such  as  Spy  magazine. 
thrived  on  making  fun  of  stupid 
human  tricks.  When  Spy  took  a  look 
at  small-town  America,  the  headline 
was  "Big,  Dumb  White  Guys  With 

Eventually,  smugness 
succumbed  to  the  trickle-down  iheory, 
infiltrating  every  aspect  of  everyday 
life.  Food  was  smug.  Could  any  other 
word  describe  a  blue  com  tortilla 
chip?  The  smugness  anthem  was 
"Don't  worry,  be  happy,"  which  is 
very  hard  to  hum  along  to  if  you're 
living  below  the  poverty  line. 

—  TRIVIALITY 

It's  notjusi  a  concept 
anymore.  It's  a  pursuit.  "It's  sort  of  a 
way  to  disengage  yourself  from  brutal 
realities,"  says  Gonick.  "You  read 
Danielle  Steel  instead  of  something 
wonderful,  because  you  don't  want  to 
be  challenged.  It's  an  incredible 
striving  toward  mediocrity." 

Case  in  point:  "Vanna 
Speaks,"  the  autobiography  of  Vanna 
While. 


Case  in  point:  Because  Uiey 
had  been  collected  by  someone 
famous,  Andy  Warhol's  175  cookie 
jars  sold  for  $247,830  in  1988, 

Coun  case  in  point:  The 
people  versus  Zsa  Zsa. 

—  SOUL-BARING 

Many,  many  people  were 
deeply  troubled  during  this  decade. 
How  do  we  know?  Because  50  percent 
of  them  admitted  it  in  People  maga- 
zine. At  least  10  celebrities  told  all  in 
an  honest  effort  to  help  others.  The  rest 
did  it  as  a  cheap  publicity  ploy. 

"There  are  all  these  talk 
shows  where  people  are  baring  their 
souls  about  sex,  drugs,  alcohol. 
weight,"  complains  syndicated 
columnist  Ellen  Goodman,  "In  a  larger 
context,  it's  amazing  that  what 
happens  to  your  life  is  of  interest  to 
anybody  else,  I'm  interested  in  the  fact 
that  anybody  would  tell  all.  I  can't 
figure  out  why." 

Kicking  a  habit  is  now 
considered  a  career  move,  if  you  can 
get  enough  good  press  for  doing  it. 
Cracks  Alice  Kahn  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chronicle,  "It's  better  to  have 
been  addicted  and  recovered  than  to

The  cost  for  one  year's 
room,  board  and  tuition  at  four-

torrid  8.3  percent  rate  last  year  to

—  PREENING 

Vanity  deals  with  caring 
excessively  about  your  appearance. 
Preening  is  more  like  vanity  lite  —  all 
of  the  sin,  but  none  of  the  moral 
calories. 

"It's  not  your  real  appearance 
versus  your  possible  appearance 
anymore,"  says  Quindlen.  "It's  your 
possible  appearance  versus  everyone 
else's  possible  appearance.  It's 
competitive  vanity.  Everyone  is 
looking  out  of  the  comer  of  their  eye 
to  see  how  they're  doing." 

Most  icons  preen  before  the 
media,  not  before  minors.  Using 
make-up  and  plastic  surgery,  they 
remake  their  public  image  as  diligently 
as  General  Motors  works  on  this  year's 
model.  Michael  Jackson's  nose  is  the 
ultimate  preen  symbol,  as  are  Cher's 
costumes.  The  smaller  they  get,  the 

Quindlen  worries  that  the 
'80s  justified  preening.  "I  think  we 
made  showing  off  acceptable  by 
making  it  part  of  the  professional 
program,  the

Adventure 
in  Europe 


By  Ginger  Bromme 

Sii  back  and  think  about  yourself 
strolling  along  the  Champs  Elysees  in 
Paris  with  your  college  friends.  Or,  if 
you  prefer,  imagine  yourself  riding  on 
a  train,  seeing  for  itie  first  time  the 
majestic  Alps,  Vienna,  Austria,  which 
isyournexl  stop.  In  Vienna  you  can 
ride  the  biggest  ferris  wheel  in  the 
world.  The  cars  are  the  size  of  train 
cars!  Or,  if  ferris  wheels  aren't  your 
thing,  picture  yourself  louring  places, 
like  the  Louvre,  Notre  Dame,  St. 
Paul's,  Leicister  Square,  and  many 


other  famous  European  sites.  Imagine 
listening  to  Scottish  men  playing  bag- 
pipes on  the  sidewalks  of  Edinburgh. 
Best  of  all,  imagine  getting  up  to  six 
hours  of  college  credit  for  this  once-in- 
a-lifetime  experience. 

For  20  students  at  SC,  the  dream  will 
become  a  reality  this  summer.  Dr.  Bill 
Wohlers  will  be  leading  the  1990  sum- 
mer tour  of  Western  Europe. 

This  summer's  tour  is  scheduled  in 
two  stages.  The  main  tour  will  leave 
Atlanta  on  May  30  and  will  visit  six 
countries  on  the  continent.  Holland, 
Belgium.  France.  Switzerland,  Austria, 
and  Germany.  The  second  stage  of  the 
tour  will  begin  earlier,  May  21 .  and

For  the  Health 
of  It 

By  Darlene  Almeda  R.N. 

This  column  will  feature  health  topics 
of  interest  to  you  ihe  students  and 
faculty  of  Soulhem  College.  This  is 
how  you  can  submit  your  questions: 
you  may  either  drop  your  requests  in  ihe 
labeled  box  at  the  Student  center  desk 
or  you  may  ask  me  personally. 

Q.  During  Christmas  break  I  found 
out  my  sister  has  anemia.  What  causes 
this  and  what  is  the  treatment? 

A.  There  are  many  different  types  of 
anemia  the  most  common  being  iron- 
deficiency  anemia.  This  type  is  caused 
mainly  by  inadequate  iron  intake, 
chronic  blood  loss,  pregnancy,  and 
destruction  of  red  blood  cells. 

Because  of  women's  compulsive 
dietary  restrictions,  menstrual  cycles, 
and  pregnancies  we  have  a  high  risk  of 
becoming  anemic.  However,  unless  il 
is  a  chronic  problem  anemia  is  treated 
quite  simply.  Iron  supplements,  and  an 

spinach,  lima  beans,  broccoli,  raisins, 
dried  apricots  and  peaches  is  suggested.

Beach 
Party  '90 

By  Allison  Mayers 

Saturday  night,  January  20,  Southern 
College  students  were  able  lo  leave  the 
dismal  winter  weather  behind  and 
experience  a  taste  of  summer  by  at- 
tending the  annual  S.A.  beach  party 
held  in  the  gymnasium. 

The  students  arrived  at  10:00  p.m. 
decked  out  in  sunglasses,  shorts,  and 
swimsuits.  Tans  were  provided  by  the 
glare  of  heat  lamps. 

Plenty  of  activities  kept  everyone  en- 
tertained. The  favorite  among  the  stu- 
dents seemed  to  be  the  dunking  booth, 
where  they  got  a  chance  to  dunk  some 
of  their  favorite  faculty  like  Dean 
Rose,  Dr.  Wohlers,  and  even  the  col- 
lege's president.  Dr.  Sahly. 

Other  activities  such  as  volleyball, 
the  basketball  toss,  the  baseball  throw, 
and  the  photo  booth  had  a  steady

for  the  Student  Association

Originally.  S.A  officers 
planned  for  the  pany  to  be 
just  in  the  Student  Center. 
But  because  of  cable  problems,  the

Louis  Armstrong  singing  "What  a

The  Beach  Party,  according  to  Deana

incredible  time  I've  ever  had  at 
Southern  College."

Basketball:  bringing  out  the  worst  in  the  best  of  us? 


By  John  Caskey 

"Everyone  must  submit  himself  to 
the  governing  auttiorilies,  for  there  is 
no  authority  except  thai  which  God  has 
established.  The  authorities  thai  exist 
have  been  established  by  God.  Conse- 
quently, he  who  rebels  against  the 
authority  is  rebelling  against  what  God 
has  instituted,  and  those  who  do  so  will 
bring  judgment  on  themselves.  For 
rulers  hold  no  [error  for  those  who  do 
right,  but  for  those  who  do  wrong.  Do 
you  want  to  be  free  from  fear  of  the 
one  in  authority?  Then  do  what  is 
right  and  he  will  commend  you.  For    . 
he  is  God's  servant  to  do  you  good. 
But  if  you  do  wrong,  be  airaid,  for  he 
does  not  bear  the  sword  for  nothing. 
He  is  God's  servant,  an  agent  of  wrath 
to  bring  punishment  on  the  wrongdoer. 
Therefore,  it  is  necessary  to  submit  to

-Romans  8:1-5 


It's  Basketball  Season  here  on  the 
campus  of  Southern  College,  and 
while  the  passage  I  quoted  from 
Romans  was  clearly  not  intended  for 
use  in  an  intramural  basketball 
program.  I  think  it  should  be  applied  to 
us  anyway. 

TTiere  seems  to  be  a  lot  of  hatred 
and  discontent  welling  up  out  there  on 
the  hardwood  floor.  I  think  that  it's 
about  titne  that  we  put  and  end  to  it 
once  and  for  all.  We  started  it  after 
all.  and  therefore,  we  can  stop  it. 

It*s  just  a  stupid  game,  guys. 

No  one  from  Southern  College  is 
ever  going  to  make  a  living  playing 
basketball.  So.  why  do  we  try  to  make 
intramural  basketball  such  a  Ufe  or 
death  struggle?  Three  weeks  after 
basketball  season  ends,  very  few 
people  will  be  able  to  remember  who 
won  or  lost  or  fouled  out  or  fouled  up. 
But  if  you  consistently  act  like  a  jerk 
out  on  the  court,  the  Big  Ref  may  see 
fit  to  lay  a  MAJOR  technical  on  you

Game.  Permanently.  That,  my 
friends,  is  a  life  or  death  struggle. 

Far  be  it  from  me  to  assume  a 
holier  than  thou  attitude  on  this  issue. 
i  am  one  of  the  offenders.  I  freely 
admit  it.  I  was  worse  last  year.  I  will 
be  better  in  the  next  game. 

I  challenge  every  player  and 
every  ref  and  Jaecks  and  Evans  and 
the  spectators  and  the  people  who 
don't  care  about  basketball  at  all  (but 
just  happen  to  be  wandering  around 
in  the  gym)  to  follow  this  simple 

"If  you  don't  have  sometbing 
kind  or  beneficial  or  good  to  say 
then  keep  your  moutb  shut" 

Don't  try  to  call  the  game  for  the 
refs.  Don't  clap  or  cheer  when  the 
refs  make  a  call  against  the 
team.  Don't  bellyache  and 
groan  when  they  make  a  call  against 
your  team.  Congratulate  your

■  when  they  make  a  good  play. 


When  in  doubt,  shut  up. 

If  everybody  involved  in  the 
intramural  program  can't  do  this,  then  i 
suggest  that  we  abolish  the  program 
entirely. 

think  a  little  healthy  competition  on  the 
playing  field  is  good  for  the  human  soul. 
But.  the  spirit  of  "win  at  all  costs"  and 
'I'm  better  than  you"  and  "the  ref  is 
biased  against  me"  and  "your  ugly  and 
your  momma  dresses  you  funny"  does 
not  have  a  place  on  a  "Christian" 

We  all  need  to  sit  down  and  have  a 
long  hard  think  about  our  priorities  from 
time  to  lime.  If  after  doing  so  you  find 
that  your  first  priority  is  to  win  an

Letter  to 
the  Editor 


Dear  Editor. 

I  was  reading  through  the  recent 
edition  of  the  "Accent"  when  I 
came  to  the  veiwpoinl  section 
("What  do  you  think  of  the  new 
hair  policy  for  men?").  I  was 
greatly  distressed  at  this  question. 

1  would  like  to  personally  thank 
the  deans  of  Talge  Hall  and  all 
others  responsible  for  this  new  rule 
Thanks  to  you  our  fine,  young  men 
V  look  like  pre-pubescent 


guys  ( 


.  Nobody  h 


Why  all  of  the  fuss  about  hairstyles^' 
If  Jesus  walked  on  our  campus,  would 
the  Deans  make  him  cut  his  hair? 

Stop  worrying  about  the  guys'  hair 
and  start  worrying  about  more  important 
things  like  whether  they  are  getting  a 
good  education.  After  all.  are  we  here 
for  an  education  or  a  hair  grooming 
lesson?  We  are  paying  for  a  career — not 
a  haircut! 


i  have  a  friend  (who  shall  remain 
unidentified  to  protect  his  hair's 
-  length)  that  I  will  call  "John".  John 
has  hair  a  little  past  his  collar,  but  it 
IS  neatly  groomed  and  looks  good 


forced  to  have  those  locks  re- 
moved, he  will  look  like  a  little  kid 
Thanks! 

I  have  another  friend.  Let's  call 
him  "Fred",  Fred  used  to  have  hair 
the  same  length.  He  had  to  get  his 
cui  and  does  qqi  look  the  same. 
Thanks  again! 

1  say  that  if  a  guy  wants  to  have 

power  to  him.  as  long  as  it's  kept 
neat  and  not  a  rat's  nest.  Some 
guys  just  look  better  with  longer 
hair.  So  many  times  in  high  school 


Why  are  they  being  told  to  cut 
their  hair  all  of  the  sudden?  Why 
not  at  the  beeinnin^  of  last  semes- 
ter? 

1  agree  with  the  viewpoints  of  il 
Mudents.  Hair  does  not  affect  aca 
demic  progress  and  it  should  be  tl 


...Industrial 

Contfromp.i 

These  are  just  a  few  of  the 
projects  that  Lacey  has  on  his 
overall  plan  for  Industrial  IDrive. 

Many  things  must  be  considered 
with  a  problem  like  Industrial 
Drive,  the  main  thing  to  remem- 
ber is  that  these  projects  lake  time. 
As  Mr.  Lacey  said.  "If  you  want  to 
waste  money,  gel  in  a  hurry."  To 
gel  a  quality  job  at  a  good  price, 
one  must  accept  delays. 

One  such  barrier  is  getting  some 
buried  communciation  cables 
located  low  enough  to  build  the 
parking  lot  over  them.  This  and 
other  problems  make  it  impossible 
to  set  deadlines  or  dates  for  the 
completion  of  Industrial  Drive. 
No  one  knows  how  many  more 
glitches  will  have  to  be  dealt  with. 
"We  just  have  to  confront  the 
obstacles  as  they  come,"  said  Mr. 

Although  it  may  take  a  while,  the 
improvements  should  be  well 
worth  the  wait,  and  all  will  be 
happy  to  know  that  action  is  being 
taken  on  Industrial  Drive.

Careers  in  the  Church,  opportunities  nnoney  can't  buy 


By  Julie  Jacobs 

Working  for  the  church  means 
doing  Ihe  same  kind  of  job  you 
could  do  elsewhere  but  receiving  a 
lower  wage  for  It,  according  to 
Dean  Kinsey,  Alumni  Director. 
One  does  not  work  in  our  church 
for  the  size  of  the  paycheck 

Richard  Erickson  of  the  business 
department,  used  to  work  as  a 
financial  manager  for  a  major 
industry.  Although  he  took  a  de- 
duction in  pay  lo  work  for  Southern 
College,  he  found  that  he  enjoyed 
this  working  environment  much 
better.  "I  sure  appreciate  asmoke- 


free  working  area,"  said  Erickson. 
Now  Erickson  finds  he  now  has 
something  in  common  with  his 
colleagues,  whereas  he  used  lo 
have  difficulty  relating  to  his 
working  partners. 

"My  enjoyment  of  the  work  en- 
vironment and  job  helps  me  cope 
with  the  discrepancy  in  my  sal- 
ary", said  Jeanette  Siepanske  of 
the  education  department.  She 
continued  by  saying  that  sharing  i

with  the  rewards  of  working  for 
God.  "I've  worked  for  the  church 
all  my  life,  said  K.R.  Davis, 
director  of  testing  and  counseling. 
"I've  always  had  a  roof  over  my 
head  and  bread  on  the  table." 
Jeanne  Davis,  K.R.'s  wife  and  sec- 
retary to  Ihe  president,  added, 
"We've  never  gone  wanting  and 


have  always  had  our  needs  sup- 
plied, plus  much,  much  more." 

Although  offered  other  jobs 
outside  of  the  church.  Dean  Kinsey 
has  never  worked  outside  the 
church.  "When  I  believe  that 
something  is  right,  I  want  lo  be  a 
part  of  it,  and  1  am  willing  to  spend 
my  energy  to  perpetuate  it."

Century  II  scholarship 
fund  growing 


By  Melissa  L.  Farrow 

The  Century  II  scholarship  endow- 
ment began  a  couple  of  years  ago  to 
benefit  incoming  freshmen  and  needy 
students.  In  December  1989,  one  of 
the  biggest  portions  of  the  money  to 
date  was  raised  and  added  to  the  ten 
million  dollar  goal.  It  began  with  a 
challenge  to  Southern  College  board* 
members  from  a  group  of  anonymous 
families.  The  challenge  had  two  parts, 

I )  The  board  members  would  give 


S500,0 


cash  to  the  endowment 
p  of  families  would  match 


give  a  total  of  S500.IXH)  in  cash  by  De- 
cember31.  1989  and  the  group  of 
families  would  contribute  $90.IK)0  in  a 
span  of  two  years. 

Pan  two  of  the  challenge  was 
successfully  met  by  the  proposed  date 


with  a  100%  participation  from  all 
board  members.  Part  one  is  still  in 
progress  with  a  total  of  $362,452  given 
by  the  board.  When  this  challenge  is 
complete,  it  will  have  added 
$2,400,000  to  the  fund,  giving  a  grand 
total  of  approximately  $7,000,000  in 

All  donations  are  invested  according 
to  conference  guidelines  and  the 
interest  in  tum  is  given  as  scholarships. 
"We  can't  give  what  is  expected  from 
this  project  until  our  goal  is  reached, 
for  obvious  reasons,"  said  Jack 
McClarty.  head  of  development.  "We 
have  to  invest  at  the  current  percentage 
rate  and  then  wail  a  year  to  gain  the 
interest.  More  money  invested  means 
more  money  for  scholarships." 

The  goal  is  set  for  1992,  which  will 
mark  the  centennial  of  the  college's 
founding.

calendar  and  one  would  easily

Last  weekend  alone  was 
undoubtedly  a  long  and  busy 
one.  On  Thursday  morning. 
January  25,  Dr.  Sahly  met  with 
the  Board  of  Florida  Hospital. 
He  has  served  as  a  member  of 

1986.  Thursday  afternoon  and 
Friday  he  met  his  appointment 
with  the  Sunbelt  to  discuss  a 
"Conference  on  Mission."  On 
Saturday,  Dr.  Sahly  was  the 
guest  speaker  at  ihe  Cress  Me- 
morial Seventh-day  Adventist 
Church  in  Orlando.  The  next 
day,  he  spoke  at  a  brunch  for 
Southern  College  alumni  in  the 
Orlando  area.  He  concluded 
his  weekend  at  Madison 
Academy,  near  Nashville,  on 
Monday.  But,  "It's  not  always 
that  busy,"  Dr.  Sahly  said. 

Later  ihis  year.  Dr.  Sahly 
will  be  leaving  the  country  and

Gil:  helping 
students  help 
themselves 


The  Center  for  Individualized 
Instruction,  or  CII,  was  opened  at 
Southern  College  this  school  year 
especially  for  students  needing 
extra  help  with  their  college 
classes. 

Sponsored  by  the  Education 
Department,  the  Cn  offers  tutors 
throughout  the  day  in  math  and 
English.  If  students  need  tutoring 
in  other  classes,  the  CII  will  try  to 
arrange  for  this  additional  help. 

The  Cn  is  located  on  the 
second  floor  of  the  library  and  is 
open  on  Mondays  and  Wednes- 
days, 11:00  a.m.  until  9:30  p.m.; 
Tuesdays  and  Thursdays,  9:00 
a.m.  until  9:30  p.m.;  and  on 
Sundays,  2:00  p.m.  until  9:30  p.m. 
During  diese  times,  students  may 
stop  by  or  set  up  appointments 
before  coming. 

Presently  there  are  17  regular 
tutors  working  on  alternating 

So  far,  attendance  at  the 
Center  has  been  very  regular  and 
the  director,  Dr.  Carol  Haynes.  is 
excited  about  future  plans  for  CII. 
One  plan  is  to  initiate  a  student 
survival  course  designed  to  help 
students  who  are  new  to  college  or 
who  are  on  academic  probation. 
The  program  would  include  topics 
like  time  management  skills  and 
better  study  skills  which  would 
help  students  adapt  to  college 
studies  and  die  discipline  it  lake-- 
to  pass  them. 

The  Center  for  Individualized 
Instruction  is  specifically  designed 
to  help  students  help  themselves 
and  is  a  beneficial  additive  to  a 
student's  college  curriculum.

What  are  you  laughing  at? 


By  Andrew  C.  Nasli 

An  American  family  huddles  in 
front  of  the  lelevision  lo  watch  an  "I 
Love  Lucy"  episode.... 

Two  Mexican  boys  sit  on  a  split-rail 
fence  and  exchange  their  favorite 

A  foursome  of  Japanese  golfers 
watch  in  amazement  as  a  misguided 
ball  careens  off  several  trees  and  lands 
in  a  pond,  driving  away  a  flock  of 
angry  ducks.... 

The  class  klutz,  attempts  to  do  a 
from  handspring  during  recess,  but  she 
over-rotates  and  lands  on  her  jaw. 
Jeannie  is  unhun  until  stie  looks  up  to 
see  the  reaction  of  her  "friends"..., 

These  situations  do  not  have  much 
in  common,  except  that  each  will  be 
followed  by  a  high  degree  of  laughter. 
Laughter  is  universal,  and  it  sounds  the 
same  in  every  part  of  the  worid.  We 
choose  lo  laugh.  No  one  can  force  us 
to  laugh  (an  honest  laugh).  Laughter 
often  goes  hand-in-hand  with  happi- 
ness, but  not  always. 

The  gift  of  laughter  was  given  to  us 
by  God  for  the  purpose  of  bringing 
..  To  laugh 


distresses  of  the  world.  Most  of  us 
enjoy  humorous  things  such  as  the 
comics  in  a  newspaper  and  the  sight  of 
playful  puppies  rolling  around  in  the 
grass.  To  laugh  means  to  break  down 
barriers  and  replace  them  with  friends. 
Who  can  reach  a  group  of  first  graders 


more  effectively — the  president  of 
Disney  World  or  Goofy?  Laughter  can 
mend,  delight,  and  uplift. 

However,  laughter  also  has  the 
power  to  cause  a  great  deal  of  pain, 
more  aptly  tenned  mocking  or  ridicule. 
this  type  of  laughter  can  hurt  feelings 
and  destroy  self-esteem. 

Several  years  ago  in  a  small  town  in 
Minnesota,  a  twelve -year-old  boy 
hobbled  off  the  bus  (he  had  broken  his 
ankle  and  was  on  cmtches)  for  his  first 
day  of  junior  high  school.  As  he  made 
his  way  up  the  rain-soaked  sidewalk, 
he  was  excited  about  his  initial  taste  of 
seventh  grade.  But,  when  he  walked 
through  the  huge  double  doors,  his 
crutches  gave  way  to  the  slippery  tile 
floor....  The  next  thing  he  knew  he 
was  sprawled  out  in  front  of  "millions" 
of  hysterical  ninth  graders. 

No  one  offered  to  help  me  up,  and  I 
will  never  forget  that  feeling  of  embar- 

Laughier  is  a  weapon  that  has  been 
around  for  along  lime.  All  but  eight 
people  on  this  earth  mocked  the  flood 
warnings  of  Noah,  but  in  the  end.  the 
disbelievers  were  sorry— they  laughed 
themselves  to  death. 

As  we  continue  to  laugh  at  the  jokes, 
comical  characters,  and  unexpected 
happenings  of  our  lives,  may  we  also 
remember  to  laugh  at  others  as  we 
would  have  ihem  laugh  at  us.

Bud  the  Hamster  defies  death

Take  Bud  the  Hamsier. 

Bud  defied  death  last  week,  to  the 
delight  of  his  6-year-old  owner,  when 
he  survived  a  night  in  the  family  food 

"I  thoughl  he  would  go  up  lo 
heaven,  and  my  mom  would  buy  me  a 
new  one,"  Bradley  Snoddy  of  Salem 

Bradley  and  his  mother.  Mary 
Ann  Snoddy,  were  certain  Bud  was 
spending  his  last  days  on  a  death  bed 
of  wood  chips  in  the  comer  of  the 
cage.  Bud  was  4-years-old,  far  beyond 
the  average  life  expectancy  for  a 
hamster,  which  is  1  1/2  to  2  years. 

Snoddy  and  her  son  were  looking 
for  a  way  to  put  Bud  out  of  his  misery. 
She  called  a  Salem  pet  store  and  was 
advised  to  put  the  sickly  hamster  in  the 
freezer,  where  he  would  "fall  asleep 


freezer. 

"We  had  a  very  rough  night.  A 
were  totally  devastated.  My  son  w 
tears  all  night,"  she  recalled. 

But  Bud  refused  to  lay  down  and 

The  rodent  chewed  his  way  out  of 
the  paper  bag.  The  would-be  death 
chamber  became  an  arctic  all-you-can 
eat  smorgasbord  for  Bud,  who  spent 
the  night  munching  on  frozen  hash 
browns  and  a  brick-hard  loaf  of  bread. 

The  next  morning,  Snoddy 


eup. 


"I  thought  that  was  the  best  way  to 
dispose  of  an  animal  without  causing 
any  suffering,"  she  said,  describing 
how  she  bundled  Bud  up  in  cloth 
Wednesday  night,  putting  him  in  a 
paper  bag  and  placing  him  in  the 


dispose  of  Bud's  body. 

"I  opened  the  freezer  door,  and 
flop,  onto  the  floor  fell  the  hamsier.  He 
sat  up  on  his  hind  legs,  and  looked  at 
me  like  "why  did  you  do  this  to  me?'  " 

Since  then.  Bud  has  had  a  new 
lease  on  life.  In  fact,  he  even  has  a  new 
exercise  wheel.  "He's  just  fine.  Just 
the  regular,  normal  hamster  that  we 
had  before,"  Snoddy  said. 

Salem  veterinarian  Stephanie 
Hazen  said  Snoddy  got  bum  advice  on 

"You  can't  kill  animals  putting 
them  in  a  freezer.  They  live  and  live 
for  days,"  she  said. 

Because  it  is  a  slow,  often  painful 
death,  she  recommended  instead  that 
people  take  dying  animals  to  the 
Humane  Society  to  have  them 
euthanized  painlessly. 


Calaveras  County  contest  threatened  by  mega-frogs

ANGELS  CAMP,  Calif  — 
This,  folks  are  saying,  is  war.  How 
daie  anyone  bring  in  foreign  competi- 
tion for  an  inherently  American 
contest? 

The  Calaveras  County 
Jumping  Frog  Jubilee  since  1928  has 
commemorated  the  Mark  Twain  short 
story  "The  Celebrated  Jumping  Frog  of 
Calaveras  County,"  in  which  a

Koffman  hopes  to  break  the 
world's  frog-jump  record  and  win  a 
S1.500  prize  —  but  more  important,  he 
says.  "It  is  the  destiny  of  these  frogs  to 

Fair  officials  fear  the  Goliath 
frogs  —  which  can  be  three  feet  long 
and  weigh  8  pounds  —  not  only  will

the  popular  event. 

Virtually  all  entrants  have 
been  California  bullfrogs,  with  Ihe 
biggest  about  a  pound,  said  interim 
county  fair  manager  Diane  Baumann. 

Koffman  said  his  superirogs 
can  leap  as  much  as  20  feet  in  a  single 
bound.  The  record  is  2 1  feet  5  inches 
in  three  Jumps  by  Rosie  the  Ribbiter  in 
1986. 

Fair  officials  have  not  yet

Baumann  said  at  least  one 
frog  jockey  has  complained  that  the 
Goliath  frogs  could  be  unfair  competi- 
tion, and  others  arc  concerned. 

■They  think  it's  an  unequal 
contest,"  Baumann  said.  "And  if  those 
frogs  can  jump  as  far  as  Andy  says 
they'll  jump,  one  of  them  could  land  in 
the  middle  of  the  crowd  and  hit 
somebody."

Sunday  moming-it's  amazing  how  many  activites  go 

on  in  Lynn  Wood  Hall  on  Sunday.  Soon  after  the  seven 

o'clock  whistle  sounds,  Mr.  Harter  is  busy  recruiting 

the  boys  in  cleaning  up  the  building.  In  no  time  at  all 

one  can  hear  some  enthusiastic  musician  practicing  an 

organ  lesson,  chairs  being  moved  about,  a  telephone 

ringing  and  the  clicking  of  typewriters  in  offices 

upstairs  and  down.

A  Knight

The  campus  of  Southern 
College  was  strangely  quiet  last 
Sunday  nighl.  The  Student  Center  and 
Library  were  vinuaJly  abandoned.  The 
parking  lots,  usually  filled  to  capacity 
with  illegally  parked  vehicles,  sat 
empty.  Happy  Valley  rested  in

The  few,  the  brave,  the  candidates 


By  John  Caskey 

"If  we  take  the  generally 
accepted  definition  of  bravery  as 
a  quality  which  knows  no  fear,  I 
have  never  seen  a  brave  man. 
All  men  are  frightened.  The 
more  intelligent  they  are.  the 
more  they  are  frightened." 

— George  S.  Patton.  Jr. 

This  is  a  salute  to  the 
brave  men  and  women  who 
have  stepped  forward  in  the  past 
weeks  and  volunteered  to  run 
for  Student  Association  offices. 


These  people  are  brave 
because  they  have  faced  their 
fear  of  failure  and  rejection  and 
decided  to  take  the  risk.  They 
have  placed  fragile  human  egos 
in  the  path  of  the  juggernaut  of 
public  opinion  because  they  feel 
that  their  efforts  can  make  a 
difference  in  the  lives  of  fellow

Thomas  Jefferson  said, 
"When  a  man  assumes  a  public 
trust,  he  should  consider 
himself  public  property."  The 
public  seems  to  take  great  care 
in  the  way  they  select  their 
property.  Once  they  have 
selected  it,  they  should  treat  it 
with  the  care  and  respect  it 
deserves. 

In  all  contests  there 
must  be  winners  and  losers. 
The  losers  will  get  over  the

The  SA  election  process 
is  an  important  responsibility  for 
each  and  every  student  here  at

Letter  to 
the  Editor 


Accen[  staff. 

Although  I'm 
year,  I've  still 
copies  of  the  newspaper  and  I 
must  say  I'm  impressed.  I  still 
love  reading  David  Denton's 
satires  relating  to  campus  life, 
and  1  also  liked  several  of  the 
editorials,  not  to  mention  the 
VERY  FUNNY  Pomp  and 


the  back  page. 

With  your  variety  of  back- 
grounds in  the  newspaper  staff, 
you  have  managed  to  pull  off  a 
very  challenging  task.  I  espe- 

at  Newbold  our  school  newspa- 
per is  rather  primitive.  The 
issues  are  run  off  on  the  copter 
and  hand-folded.  They  don't 
have  an  advanced  computer 

Newbold  is  a  wonderful  place, 
and  I  have  really  "broadened  my 
horizons"  while  studying  and 
traveling  here,  but  I  definitely 
have  a  love  for  SC.  and  can't 
wail  to  return  in  the  fall. 

Keep  up  the  good  work!! 


The  cat 
and  the 
squirrel:  a 
parable 


As  I  was  walking  through  the  student 
park  last  week  I  noticed  a  squirrel.  I've 
seen  a  lot  of  squirrels  but  this  one  was 
being  a  tad  obnoxious.  He  was  sitting  at 
the  tip  of  a  ragged,  broken-off  branch, 
diinking  his  whole  purpose  in  life  was  to 


1  things:  What  was  he 
screaming  ai  and  why  was  he  screamin 

The  answer  lo  the  first  question 
quickly  became  plain.  The  squirrel  wa; 
staring  at  a  spot  which  contained  a 
contented,  sleeping  cat. 

The  second  question  was  not  so  easH 
answered.  The  squirrel  was  safe.  He 
was  30  feel  up  in  a  tree  that  was  40  feel 
from  the  sleeping  cat.  The  problem  wa 
merely  that  the  cat  was  diere. 

Now,  I  bet  in  the  past  the  cat  liked 
squirrels,  or  at  least  tolerated  diem  but  ] 
wouldn't  be  surprised  if  diat  cat  was  no 
becoming  some  what  irritated  al 
squirrels  that  sat  and  screamed  at  a 
peacefully  sleeping  cats. 

As  I  watched  I  noticed  diat  the  cat 
continued  to  sleep.  Although  his 
opinion  of  squirrels  had  undoubtedly 
dropped  several  notches. 

And  the  squirrel?  Well,  as  he 
continued  lo  look  tense  and  scream  he 
began  to  visibly  tire.  All  for  what?  I 
don't  know,  but  as  he  grew  tired  his 
screams  began  to  weaken,  his  head 
began  to  droop. 

Then  I  noticed.  The  .squirrel  had  a

February  is  Black  History  Month 


ByPAMPLATT 

©Copyright  1990,  USA  TODAY/ 
Apple  College  Information  Network. 

In  1955,  the  black,  expatriate 
American  writer  James  Baldwin  said, 
"The  world  is  white  no  longer,  and  it 
will  never  be  white  again." 

The  world  never  was  white  — 
although  it  is  hard  to  arrive  at  that 
conclusion  after  reading  U.S.  history 
books  written  from  a  mostly  while, 
mostly  male  perspective. 

But  other  voices  have  always  told 
other  histories,  and  in  1924,  people 
started  listening.  That  was  the  first 
year  a  weeic  was  set  aside  to  observe 
the  achievements  of  blacks  in  U.S. 
history. 

Since  1924,  the  name  of  the 
observance  has  changed  several  times, 
and  in  1976.  the  length  was  extended 
to  a  month.  But  the  intent  has  always 
remained  the  same;  to  honor  the  rich 
and  invaluable  contributions  of  black 
Americans  to  this  nation's  history. 

Here's  a  quiz  designed  to  introduce 
the  people  and  milestones  of  early 
U.S.  history,  in  honor  of  Black  History 
Month. 

WHO  WERE  THEY? 

He  was  a  black  astronomer,  mathe- 

lor.  When  he  was  22.  he  was  the  first 
person  in  North  America  to  build  a

nominated  Banneker  to  be  a  member 
of  the  commission  charged  with  laying 
out  plans  for  the  city  of  Washington.

The  founder  of  the  Association  for 
the  Study  of  Negro  Life  and  History  in 
1914,  Woodson  is  regarded  as  one  of 
the  fathers  of  the  black  history  move- 
ment. The  son  of  slaves,  he  received 
his  doctorate  in  history  from  Harvard 
University.  He  was  instrumental  in 
launching  the  first  black  history  week. 

TRUE  OR  FALSE 

Q.  The  first  blacks  came  to  the  New 
World  as  slaves. 

A.  False.  One  of  Christopher 
Columbus'  crew  members  was  a  black 
man  named  Pedro  Alonzo  Nino. 
Blacks  also  were  members  of  the 
expeditions  headed  by  Balboa,  Ponce

For  the 
Health  of

By  Darlene  Almeda,  R.N. 

Q:  Why  is  Ihe  gallbladder  so  readil 
removed?  Doesn't  it  have  a  specific 
function? 

A:  Yes,  the  gallbladder  has  specifii 
functions  and  ihey  are  to  store,  con- 


e  bile  v. 


stimulated  10  do  so.  Upon  removal  of 
the  gallbladder  or  a  cholecystectomy, 
Ihe  patient  is  no  longer  able  lo  store 
bile,  a  substance  which  increases  the 
action  of  gastric  enzymes  and  en- 
hances the  absorplion  of  fatty  acids. 
The  main  source  of  bile  is  the  liver 

the  removal  of  Ihe  gallbladder. 
Instead  of  releasing  bile  into  the  gall- 
bladder for  storage,  during  surgery  the 
liver's  ducts  are  direcUy  connected  to 
the  smalt  intestine  thus  releasing  bile 
direcHy  inio  ils  destination  point. 

So  as  you  can  see,  although  the  gall- 
bladder does  indeed  have  a  specific 
function,  we  are  able  to  exist  without 
IL  This  is  why  when  a  patient  arrives 
ai  ihe  emergency  room  with  positive 
gallbladder  problems  the  physician 
will  usually  get  right  to  Ihe  source  of 
the  problem  withoui  much  hesitation.

betterment  of  life  here  at  Southern, 
and  an  S.A.  that  is  committed  to 
being  exactiy  what  it  is  supposed  to 

Here  at  Southern,  we  have  a  wide 
variety  of  students  representing  many

cultures,  each  with  different  desires

quo;  I  envision  the  S.A.  President  to 
be  the  spokesperson  for  each  of  these 
different  sects  of  students. 

Having  been  here  at  Southern  for 
three  years,  I  have  learned  many 
tilings.  One,  is  that  die  students  of 
Soutiiem  want,  not  only  an  S.A, 
President,  but  someone  who  will  be 
their  representative  to  the  sometimes 
arbitrary  Administration';  someone 
who  will  stand  up  and  defend  the

defending  these  rights  and  lo  making

good?  Simply  by  working  my 
hardest  for  you,  the  students  of 
Southern  College,  I  don't  have  a 
flashy  slogan,  or  a  campaign  full  of 
hype — only  a  platform  tiial  pledges 
change,  a  platfonn  that  is  tailored  to 
the  individual  student,  a  platform  that 
promises  a  fun  and  exciting  year,  and 
a  platform  that  expresses  my  desire 
to  represent  the  interests  and  desire 
of  die  student  body  of  Southern

Alex  Bryan 

Southern  College  and  the 
students  of  Southern  College  are 
very  imporunt  to  me.  As  Execu- 
tive Vice  President  I  would  help  to 
make  the  life  of  the  student  better 

First,  as  Executive  Vice  Presi- 
dent I  will  also  be  chairman  of  the 
Southern  College  Student  Senate.  I 
strongly  believe  that  Senate  is  one 
of  the  most  imporlanl  ways  for 
student  projects  to  be  accomplished 
and  student  views  to  be  expressed 
to  the  administration  and  faculty. 
As  a  Senator  here  at  Southern  I 
have  had  the  important  opponuniiy 
to  participate  in  the  interworkings 
of  this  representative  body.  As 
chairman  of  the  Project  Committee 
tills  year  I  have  worked  with  many 
students  and  faculty  members.  I 
think  this  experience  has  been  ex- 
tremely important  in  my  under- 
standing of  how  to  best  get  accom- 
plished items  which  students  would 
like.  As  leader  of  the  the  Senate! 
will  seek  to  make  the  Senate  more 
responsive  to  the  views  of  their 
consituents  and  more  visionary  in 
plans  to  better  the  life  of  the 
student. 

Secondly,  as  Executive  Vice 
President  I  will  be  an  officer  of  the 
Student  A 


continuing  the  good  programs  a 
activities  we  have  enjoyed  in  ihi 
past.  However,  there  is  always

can  work  effectively  with  any  of 
tills  year's  Presidential  candidates. 
A  belter  Southern  College  and  a 
beuer  life  for  tiie  Southern  student 
is  my  primary  goal. 


Dear  Student  A 

I,  Izear  Feagins,  HI  has  chosen 
to  nrn  for  Executive  Vice-Presi- 
dent of  die  SASCSDA  because  I 
claim  to  have  three  ingredients. 
They  are  dedication,  detemiina- 


S.A.  Vice  President 


I  want  to  strengthen  the  Senate  by 
listening  to  the  students'  cry  of 
change.  Through  the  Senate  and 
under  my  leadership,  the  cry  of 
change  will  lum  into  a  cry  of 
strength  whereby  administration 
will  listen  and  take  action  to  what 
our  ciy  of  strength  is. 

However,  the  Executive  Vice- 
President  needs  to  be  a  strong 
leader,  motivator,  spokesman, 
teacher,  inslnicior,  and  most  of  all  a 
servant  to  he  students.  These  are 


this  job.

d  the  students 
through  the  Senate  which  will  be 
made  strong,  so  that  the  ingredient 


Dear  Fellow  Student, 

Southern  College  needs 
you  and  your  input.  It  also  needs 
leadership,  the  kind  of  experienced 
leadei^hip  I  would  like  to  provide 
for  you.  I  have  had  three  previous 
years  of  experience  working  with  a 
student  association.  During  these 
years.  I've  held  various  offices,  the 
most  prominent  being  president. 
The  student  association  elections  are 
approaching  and  I,  Kevin  Snider,  am 
running  for  executive  vice-president. 

What  I  hope  to  accomplish  as 
your  executive  vice-president  are  the 
changes  that  you,  the  student  body, 
deem  important.  After  ulking  with 
some  of  our  fellow  students,  it  has 
been  brought  to  my  attention  thai 
several  issues  need  to  be  addressed. 
A  few  of  them  are  the  following; 

1.  campus  safety, 

2.  revised  auto  parking 

3.  more  weekend  activities, 

4.  increased  senior  privileges, 

5.  the  hair  issue,  and 

6.  classroom  attire  (shorts). 

With  the  coming  of  the  election,  I 
would  appreciate  your  supporting 
vote  for  executive  vice-president. 


Candidates  for  Social  Vice  Prfisiripnt 


As  a  candidate  for  the  position  of 
Student  Association  Social  Vice- 
President  I  believe  that  it  is  my  first 
responsibility  to  plan  and  execute 
social  activities  for  the  students  that 
would  be  immensely  enjoyable  and 
well  worth  attending. 

I  believe  that  another  foremo.st  re- 
sponsibility in  filling  the  position  of 
Social  Vice-President  is  to  make  the 


s  feel  a 


ginning  of  the  school  year  at  the 
Welcome  Party  to  the  very  day  of 
graduation.  I  feel  that  the  time 
spent  with  friends  in  college  is  very 
important,  and  I  would  like  to  make 
it  as  fun  for  Southern  students  as 

One  of  my  main  goals  for  the  up- 
coming year  is  to  interest  and 
involve  more  students  in  the  week- 
end activities  that  the  SA  plans,  as 
well  as  all  other  activities.  Ihave 
many  new  ideas  about  parties,  ban- 
quets, and  other  SA  activities,  and  a 
lot  of  helpful  information  about  the

year  at  Central  Gwinnett  High

students.  I  was  elected  Executive 
Vice  President.  My  Junior  year,  I 
was  the  President  of  "The  Youth 
against  Cancer  Club."  While 
working  at  United  Parcel  Service  in 
1987, 1  was  elected  Vice  President 
of  Social/Safely  events, 

I  am  currently  a  Junior  here  at 
Southern  College,  where  I  have 
attended  for  three  years. 

A  couple  of  ideas  I've  come  up 
with  are  ways  to  get  the  student

For  one  thing,  I  have  done  a  lot  of 
traveling  here,  Jusi  last  weekend  I 
went  to  an  awesome  little  island  called 
Tanitao.  Thanks  to  SC  for  sending 
some  extra  Christmas  cash.  1  was  able 
to  buy  a  snorkel  set  and  snorkeled  my 
heart  out.  1  should  say  snorkeled  my 


As  for  our  wonderful  school  here  ir 
Haad  Yai.  we  have  three  teachers, 
Monica  Heiron.  Glenn  Carter  and 
myself.  Actually  we  really  need  a 

fourth.  So  if  there  is  anyone  who 


would  like  to  come  immediately, 
please  don't  hesitate  to  call  at  (074) 
246-102. 

In  this  land  pf  luxury  we  have — 
excuse  me— we  Jiad  two  maids.  But 
recently  a  disaster  has  taken  place. 
One  of  our  maids  quit  and  the  other 
one  has  been  my!  sa-by  (sick)  all 
week.  Therefore  one  morning,  that  is 
all  morning.  Monica  did  the  laundry. 
No,  we  don't  have  one  of  those  fancy 
push  button  machines.  She  did  it  all 
by  handl  I  think  she  did  a  great  job 
and  1  don't  think  Glenn  minds  too 
much  thai  all  his  underwear  are  red. 

That  same  day,  I  thought  I  would  be 
the  chef.  It's  rather  difficult  to  make 
the  same  things  here  that  I  usually 
made  in  the  States.  Cookies,  brownies 
and  cakes  don't  turn  out  too  well 
But  I  did  try  I

it's  lots  of  fun  and  I  wouldn't  change  i\ ' 
for  the  world..  Maybe  foriome  sleep, 
though.  I  am  always  yawning  in  class. 

For  a  more  serious  note,  1  really 
want  to  thank  SG  for  ail  their  prayers 
and  letters.  Please  continue  to  pray  for 
us.  There  is  a  lot  of  work  to  be  done  in

Southern's  first 
Yearbook  of  the  '90's 
nears  completion 


By  Gina  Mclntyre 

The  yearbook  is  nearly  completed. 
With  89%  of  [he  pages  already 
compleled,  Andy  McConnell,  Southern 
Memories  Editor,  still  had  a  challenge 

According  to  McConnell  this 
yearbook  is  24%  larger  than  last  year's 
book,  jumping  from  200  to  248  pages, 
those  were  the  only  secrets  he  would 
reveal. 

The  big  word  in  yearbook  circles  is 
"DEADLINE".  A  deadline  is  a  date 
which  the  yearbook  company  sets  to 
receive  a  stated  portion  of  the  book. 
The  Southern  Memories  had  four. 


woit  weeks  to  prepare  for  his  lasl 

"Being  in  charge  of  the  yearbook 
means  having  lo  juggle  a  lot  of 
different  responsibilities,  money 
matters,  budgets,  job  assignments, 
appointments,  and  time  management," 
said  McConnell. 

Mike  Magursky,  Memories  art 
director,  has  been  working  hard.  ""I've 
sworn  after  every  year  that  I've 
worked  on  a  yearbook  that  I'd  never 
do  it  again.  I  guess  I  never  learned  my 
lesson."  This  is  his  fourth  year  of 
experience. 

"One  thing  I've  learned  about 
myself  during  this  project  is  that  I

Letters  to 
the  Editor 


Dear  Editor, 

This  letter  is  written  is 
response  to  the  article  titled  "Bas- 
ketball: bringing  out  the  worst  in 
the  best  of  us."  It  was  in  the  Feb.  1 

I  have  sent  this  to  offer  an 
alternative  perspective  on  athletics, 
which  includes  basketball.  Basket- 
ball is  not  a  "stupid  game"  and  in- 
fering  that  athletics  are  is  ridicu- 
lous. Participation  in  athletics 
allows  for  the  oppurtunity  to  grow 
in  the  areas  of  personal  potential, 
teamwork,  discipline,  patience, 
overcoming  obstacles,  and  decision 
making,  to  name  a  few. 


To  say  that  "no  one  from 
Southern  College  is  ever  going  to 
make  a  living  playing  basketball" 
is  probably  an  accurate  statement. 
However,  why  should  one  close 
the  door  on  an  activity  that  brings 
enjoyment  just  because  it  is  not 

Dare  I  mention  that  other 
activities  like  singing  or  playing  a 
musical  instrument  will  hardly 
provide  a  means  for  support  for  the 
greater  majority  of  Southern 
College  students.  These  extracur- 
ricular activities  are  held  in  higher 
regard  and  to  think  the  same  com- 
petative  nature  is  not  in  their  par- 
ticipants would  be  foolish.  Pride, 
envy,  frustration  and  jealousy  are 
certainly  present  but  because  it  is 
hidden  easier  and  very  subtle, 
public  scorn  is  not  levied  as 
readily. 

God  has  given  and  ability 


The  man  who  never  alters  his  opinion  is  like  standing 
water,  &  breeds  reptiles  of  the  mind.

South  Africa... 

Dear  Editor, 

Considering  the  currenl  affairs 
within  the  South  African  political 
arena,  it  is  my  objective  in  view  of 
issues  mentioned  during  chapel, 
Febmaiy  22, 1990,  to  provide  the 
Southern  College  students  with  the 
alternative  point  of  view. 

I  respect  the  rights  of  individuals 
hold  opinions  on  any  issue-social, 
religious  or  political;  however,  I 
expect  the  relevant  facts,  both 
negative  and  positive,  before  such  a 
person  attempts  to  address  a  congre- 
gation of  people. 

Addressing  the  issue  of  labour 
unions,  (he  speaker  gave  the  impres- 
sion it  was  impossible  for  black 
workers  to  protest  peacefully  or  to 
approach  labour  relations  officials 
about  working  problems  without 
being  harassed  or  arrested  by  South 
African  Police  in  the  early  1970"s. 
He  did,  however,  fail  to  mention 
until  1979,  unions  were  illegal  ir 


that  are  more  important  and  should  be 
addressed  more  often.  Or,  would 
addressing  these  issues  in  public  be  an 
admission  of  their  presence  on  our 
campus? 


South  Africa,  and  I 
of  suike  was  illegal.. .Labour  rela- 
tions were  only  addressed  by  a  com- 
mission of  inquiry  on  legislation  in 
the  late  70's.  Government  statistics 
show  labour  union  membership  in 
1979  as  zero,  growing  to  more  than 
600.000  in  1985.  All  unions  prior  to 
1979  were  unregistered  and  there- 
fore, unlawful. 

With  regard  to  the  African  Na- 
tional congress  (ANC)  having  the 
support  of  all  South  Africans,  he 
failed  lo  mention  Gatsha  Buthelezl, 
Paramount  Chief  of  6.4  million  Zulus 
who  constitute  one  third  of  the  black 
population  in  South  Africa.  Buthe- 
lezl enjoys  the  majority  of  while 
.support  and  is  acclaimed  by  inlema- 


AMcan  Police  action  to  quell  riots  as 
opposed  lo  496  blacks  killed  by  black 
radicals  (Talking  with  the 
ANCPerskor,  1986). 

With  reference  to  education,  (many  of 
us  were  led  to  believe  the  Chapel  hour 
would  deal  with  the  future  of  SDA 
schools  in  South  Africa)  he  failed  to 

governmental  institutions  which  have 
been  multi-racial  for  the  past  ten  years. 
A  new  education  dispensation  was 
formulated  in  the  White  Paper  on  die 
provision  of  Education  (1983)  and 
established  the  National  Policy  for 
Education  Affairs  Act  (Act  76  of  1984) 
to  place  education  levels  for  all  racial 
groups  on  a  level  fooling.  What  of  the 
five  "black  only"  universities  in  South 
Africa?  All  so-called  white  universities 
are  fully  multi-racial  and  have  been  for 
many  years.  University  of  Soudi  Africa 
which  is  the  largest  correspondence 
university  in  the  world  has  a  predomi- 
nantly black  enrollment.  The  oppressed 
black  school  graduate  also  receives  67% 
of  government  scholarships  to  continue 
his  education.  The  South  African  Brew- 
eries, largest  company  in  South  Africa, 
only  awards  scholarships  to  blacks. 
Black  schools  are  burnt  down  and 
classes  boycotted  by  students  at  the 

e  of  black  radical  leaders  within 


...  ;  ANC. 

Furthermore,  the  speaker  stated  the 
ANC  only  uses  violence  as  a  means 
of  defense.  How  much  defense  is 
needed  against  irmocent  women  and 
children  of  all  nationalities?  Limpet 
mines  and  plastic  explosives  placed 
in  restaurants  and  shopping  centres 
frequented  by  all  nationalities  are  by 
no  means  a  line  of  defense.  The 

communist  vehicle.  The  ANC  "s 
Radio  Freedom  on  May  11,  1986 
staled:  "If  Botiia  expects  to  buy  time 
by  appealing  lo  non-exisieni,  non- 
communisl,  ANC  leaders,  then  Bodia 
has  missed  the  freedom  boat" 
(Talking  with  the  ANC.Perskor 
1986). 

Since  August  1985,  381  black 
people  have  died  during  South 


Nelson  Mandella  returned  to  the  dusly 
streets  of  Soweto.  I  wonder  how  he  will 
enjoy  his  5250,000  mansion  constructed 
by  ANC  funds,  as  he  lives  in  poverty 
with  his  people? 

What  place  did  all  this  misleading 
have  in  our  church?  Liberation  Theolo- 
gists  such  as  Desmond  Tutu,  Professor 
Pyerers-Naude,  Alan  Boesak,  and 
Desmond  Hurley  have  split  their 
denominations  in  half  for  preaching 
politics  from  the  pulpit.  Politics  has  its 
place,  but  not  in  church,  and  we  at  least 
expect  a  balanced,  credible  presentation 
from  the  rostmm. 

What  about  SevenUi-day  Advenii.^i 
schools  in  Soudi  Africa?  How  do 
labour  unions,  the  ANC,  Nelson 
Mandella,  and  recent  political  events 
have  any  baring  on  decisions  diat  lie 
solely  with  the  SDA  Conference?  The 
speaker  was  too  wrapped  up  in  politics 


wrapf)ed  up  in  supplying  the  alternative 
view  to  ask.  Nkosi  Sikclele  e'  Afrika

If  you  believe  apathy  is  a

you'll  ever  ha\'e  to  do.  I  promise. 


It  SA  eleclions  speech  like  \i 


e  might  hear  a  campaign 


limes  I  couldn'l  help  thinking  I  was  the 
only  one  inleresied.  According  lo  the 
•official  announcements  posted  the  day 
after  the  election,  less  than  half  of  the 
student  body  took  the  opporlunily  to 
vote.  I  find  this  fascinating.  Mind 
you,  I'm  not  so  much  concerned  with 
why  less  than  half  of  you  voted,  as  I 
am  with  how  this  trend  could  affect 
future  S.A.  elections- 
After  considerable  cogitation  and  a 
preponderance  of  pondering,  Cve 
reached  a  conclusion.  One  that  is  at 
the  same  time  frightening  and  intrigu- 
ing. Whereas  in  recent  eleclions  it  has 
been  fashionable  to  make  student 
involvement  the  focus  of  a  candidate's 
campaign  (for  example:  Mark  Wal- 
drop's  "You  Belong",  or  Woody 
White's  "Your  S.A.  Your  Way"),  in 
the  future  it's  very  likely  some 
innovative  student  will  attempt  to 
capitalize  on  the  general  student  body 
apathy  by  incorporating  it  into  his 
campaign.  Imagine  someone  running 
for  S.A,  President  with  the  slogan  "My 
S,  A,.  My  Way,"  or  "Vote  For  Me,  I'll 
Leave  You  Alone."  It  could  happen. 


Southern  College  students,  are  you 
tired  of  student  leaders  continually 
hassling  you  to  get  involved  in  campus 
life?  Are  you  tired  of  being  told  you 
should  vole  for  this  office  or  that 
office?  Do  you  sometimes  wish  these 
student  leaders  would  just  disappear? 
Well,  now  you  can  do  something  to 
make  those  dreams  come  true. 

As  Candidate  for  SA.  President.  I 
recognize  that  the  majority  of  you 
couldn'l  care  less  about  what  happens 


iredtc 


Stand  up  for  your  right  to  be  unin- 
volved.  If/  am  elected  SA.  president 
I  promise  three  things: 

1 .  I  promise  lo  do  away  with  SA. 
chapels.  They' re  boring,  and  most 
students  would  rather  carl  up  with  a 
good  chemistry  or  anatomy  textbook 

2.  I  promise  never  to  try  to  get  you 
involved  in  anything,  at  anytime,  ever. 

opinions  or  suggestions,  nor  lo  listen 
to  any  opinions  that  are  offered. 

Southern  College  is  a  great  school, 
and  I  believe  it  can  become  even 
greater  as  student  leaders  realize  they

German 
Sabbath  School 
organized  on 
campus 

By  Richard  Gallagher 

"Guten  Morgen!  Herzlich 
Wilkommen  zum  Sabbatschule'" 
(Good  morning!  Welcome  lo 
Sabbaih  school),  These  were  som 
of  ihe  firel  words  spoken  10:00 
Sabbaih.  March  17  at  the  newly 
formed  German  Sabbath  school. 

"We've  been  ihinking  for  quite 
some  time  about  having 
Dr.  Helmul  Otl.  chairman  of  the 
Modem  Languages  department. 
Several  students  in  Iniermediate 


German  told  him  they  thought  it  was 
good  idea  to  have  a  German  Sabbaih 
school,  and  they  asked  if  one  could  t 
formed.  &.  Ott  decided  il  was  time 
get  the  program  started. 
It  follows  a  simple  formal  so  il  is 


first,  followed  by  scripture  and  prayer, 
then  the  special  feature,  and  finally, 
lesson  study. 

The  special  feature  in  the  first  class 
was  Brigett  DeMemmo's  slide 
presentation  containing  pictures  of  East 
and  West  Germany.  The  special 
feature  will  be  a  regular  part  of  the 
program. 

Waldemar  Ehlers,  a  retired  minister, 
gave  the  lesson  study.  It  discussed 
Matthew  24  and  was  taken  from  the 
Sabbath  school  quarterly  for  that  week. 

Dr.  Ott  had  his  stijdents  in  Interme- 
diate German  study  the  24tii  chapter  of 
Matthew  in  class  before  the  seven- 


teenth. He  also  has  the  Intennediate 
Spanish  class  members  read  portions 
of  the  Bible  during  class. 

The  students  of  Spanish  have  an 
opportunity  to  anend  a  Spanish 
speaking  church  here  in  Colleged- 
ale.  The  opportunity  to  visit  a 
German-speaking  church  is  not 
available  to  students  of  German. 

Ott  thinks  it  is  important  for  the 
students  to  read  the  scripture  in  the 
foreign  language.  The  religious 
vocabulary  used  in  the  Bible  is  quite 
different  from  everyday  speech,  said 
Ott. 

The  class  will  meet  two  more 
times,  April  7  and  April  21.  The 
meetings  begin  at  10:00  a.m.  and  are 
held  in  Daniels  Hall.  Anyone  is 
welcome  to  come,  but  Dr.  Ott 
cautions,  there  may  or  may  not  be  an 
interpreter. 


Measles  feared  to  be  reaching  epidemic 
proportions  on  college  campuses  nationwide 


By  LUCY  YOUNG 

©Copyrkht  1990,  uSA 
TODAY/Appfe  Cbllege  Informa- 
tion Network 

Once  on  Ihe  brink  of  eradi- 
cation, measles  is  striking  back 
with  a  vengeance. 

The  disease  has  killed  15 
people  nationwide  this  year,  and 
the  cases  are  mounting  faster  this 
spring  than  last  year,  which  ended 
with  an  alarming  16,240  cases  and 
45  deaths. 

With  schools  across  Ihe 
country  breaking  for  spring  vaca- 
tions, public  health  officials  are 
worried  that  measles  will  spread 
farther,  wider  and  faster. 

"There's  a  good  possibility 
that  we  will  have  spread  where  we 
have  measles  outbreaks,"  said 
George  Seastrom,  a  consultant 
with  the  Centers  for  Disease 
Control.  "If  (students)  intermix, 
they'll  pick  it  up." 

Spring  break  meccas  such 
as  Florida's  Fort  Lauderdale  and 


Daytona  Beach  and  South  Padre 
Island.  Texas,  wnll  literally  become 
measles  hotbeds:  fun,  sun  and  a 
hardy  virus  that  can  survive  in 
warm  humid  conditions  for  three 

"Rather  than  keeping 
measles  within  certain  coUege 
campuses,  it's  going  to  be  spread 
to  various  schools  this  way," 
Seastrom  said. 

Inadequate  immunization 
among  students  is  just  part  of  the 
problem;  about  half  of  the  cases 
are  pre-schoolers,  many  in  immi- 
grant or  inner-city  families  who 
are  not  aware  of  the  need  for 


As  of  Feb.  17,  52  out- 
breaks of  measles  have  been  found 
in  16  states:  Maryland.  Florida, 
Illinois,  Wisconsin,  Texas,  Califor- 
nia, Alaska,  Pennsylvannia, 
Missouri.  Oregon,  Maine,  New 
York,  Indiana,  Ohio,  Oklahoma 
and  Michigan. 

"It's  everywhere."  said 


Number  of  measles  cases 

Measles  cases  in  Ihe  United  States  hit  an 
alt-lime  low  at  1 ,500  in  1 983  before  soaring  to 
16,236  last  year.'  So  (ar  this  year,  there  have 
been  1 ,1 50  cases,  more  than  double  the 
number  reported  by  this  time  last  year.

tion and  information  specialist. 

The  outbreak  in  Los 
Angeles  County  persists  after  an 
unusually  long  2  1/2  year^, 
making  more  than  3,260  people 
sick.  Chicago  has  reported  2,370 
cases  since  its  March  1989 
outbreak.  Dallas  has  seen  1,200 
cases  to  date  over  a  similar 

In  Fresno  County,  health 
officials  suspect  that  cultural  mis- 
understanding of  vaccinations 
contributed  to  the  measles  deaths 
of  nine  Laotian  children.  That 
spurred  officials  in  St.  Paul, 
Minn.,  to  launch  a  door-to-door 
immunization  program  targeting 
Hmong  children  from  Laos. 

Both  counties  have  heavy 
concentrations  of  Hmong  who 
live  in  cramped  quarters,  making 
them  particularly  susceptible  to 
contagions  like  measles. 

All  states  require  children 
to  be  immunized  before  starting 
school.  Because  the  measles 
vaccine  is  considered  95  percent 
effective,  the  CDC  recommends  a 
two-dose  immunization:  one  for 
infants  at  15  months  old  and 
another  before  the  child  enters 
school.  People  are  considered 
immune  if  they: 

—  Were  bom  before 
1957  since  they  likely  had 
childhood  exposure  to  the  dis- 

—  Already  had  the 
measles. 

—  Are  adequately  vacci- 
nated according  to  standards. 

Inadequate  immuniza- 
tions have  created  an  entire 
generation  of  young  people  who 
may  be  vulnerable  to  the  viral 
disease. 

People  bom  between 
1957  and  1976  may  have  been 


vaccinated  too  young  for  life-time 
immunity  while  those  bom  be- 
tween 1976  and  1980  may  have 
gotten  ineffective  vaccine  doses, 
the  CDC  said. 

The  deficiency  is  emerg- 
ing nationwide  on  campuses  like 
the  University  of  Maine,  where 
400  students  without  current 
immunization  records  are  being 
excluded  from  classes  until  March 
19  because  of  an  outbreak  among 
45  students. 

Earlier  this  month,  a  30- 
case  outbreak  in  Allegan  County. 
Mich.,  caused  a  high  school 
basketball  game  to  be  played 
without  fans.  The  University  of 
Oregon,  citing  the  growing  number 
of  cases  among  young  adults,  will 
require  all  new  students  next  fall  to 
have  been  vaccinated  for  the  dis- 

That  requirement  is  fast 
becoming  standard  policy  for 
colleges,  Seastrom  said.  "An  out- 
break really  upsets  the  whole 
routine  of  a  university.  After 
spring  break,  they  have  Tinai 
exams  coming  out,  seniors  are 
going  to  job  interviews.  These 
people  can't  afford  to  have  the  dis- 

Outbreaks  also  have  hit 
Amish  communities  in  Canton, 
Minn.,  and  Cattaraugus  County. 
N.Y.  In  Canton,  the  measles  struck 
17  people  in  five  families  and  cur- 
tailed visits  until  the  outbreak 
subsided.  Amish  traditionally 
oppose  vaccination  for  religious 


Twenty  yea"^  ago,  hopes 
were  high  that  measles  would  be 
vanquished.  Public  vaccination 
programs  moved  successfully 
toward  that  goal  and  in  1983,  the 
number  of  cases  hit  an  all- 
of  1,500.  Since  then,  however,  the 
number  of  cases  has  surged. 


Protesting  administration  policies  can  backfire 

students  should  be  aware  of  what  they  can  expect  to  achieve

WASHINGTON  —  It  may  be 

from  ihe  two-week  sit-in  at  Tennessee 
Siaie  University,  but  a  rash  of  similar 
campus  protests  in  the  past  year  have 
yielded  mixed  results. 

For  every  Howard  University  in 
Washington  —  where  Republican 
National  Chairman  Lee  Atwaier 
resigned  from  the  board  of  trustees  last 
March  after  angry  students  occupied  a 
building  for  three  days  —  there  is  a 
University  of  Massachusetts.  There, 
Pentagon-supported  research  rolls 
along  despite  a  series  of  student 
demonstrations  opposing  it. 

Last  May  at  Stanford  University  in 
Palo  Alto,  Calif.,  53  students  seized 
President  Donald  Kennedy's  office  for 
a  day  to  protest  racism  on  campus  and 
the  scarcity  of  minority  faculty  at  the 

Stanford  is  seeking  minority  hires. 


service  —  on  top  of  75  hours  of 
community  service  meted  out  by  the 
university. 

At  TSU  in  Nashville,  students  ended 
their  sit-in  March  8  with  an  agreement 
to  pay  for  damages  caused  to  the 
administration  building  and  for  long- 
distance phone  calls  they  made.  They 
also  agreed  their  behavior  was 
"improper." 

In  return,  the  administration  has 
promised  to  make  financial  records 
available  (o  students,  put  greater 
emphasis  on  maintenance  and  repairs, 
and  form  a  committee  to  monitor 
concerns  —  prompting  both  sides  to 
declare  victory. 

The  success  of  student  protests  is  not 
always  absolute,  however. 

The  same  month  of  the  Stanford 
protest,  black  studenu  at  Michigan 
Stale  University  in  East  Lansing  ended 
a  weeklong  sit-in  at  the  administration 
building  after  school  oITicials  agreed  to 
consider  the  protesters'  36  requests 
regarding  minority  concerns. 

Among  their  demands  was  that 
Michigan  Stale  appoint  a  vice  presi- 

minority  affairs.  The  school  did  create 
a  position  of  minority  adviser,  though 
It  lower  on  Ihe  flow  chart 
n  who  filled  the  new  job. 


Lee  June,  said  that  while  some  of 
students'  remaining  requests  have  been 
addressed  —  for  instance,  the  school 
has  held  a  conference  on  black  issues 
—  officials  have  been  "generally  slow" 
to  respond  to  other  concerns,  such  as 
hiring  minority  faculty. 

Regardless,  June  said,  the  protest 
served  a  piupose:  At  a  school  where 
blacks  comprise  only  5  percent  of  the 
42,000  students  enrolled,  "They  got  the 
administration's  attention  and  moved 
along  the  agenda  further." 

The  key  to  a  successful  protest  may 
lie  in  knowing  in  advance  what 
concessions  a  college  or  university  is 
willing  to  make,  said  Dave  Cutler,  a 
representative  of  the  Washington- 
based  United  States  Student  Associa- 

"As  long  as  students  are  aware  of 
what  they're  capable  of  achieving,  a 
sufficiently  organized  student  body  can 
get  just  about  anything,"  Cutler  said. 

At  tiny  Paine  College  in  Augusta. 
Ga..  300  of  the  school's  550  students 
staged  a  27-hour  sit-in  last  September 
to  protest  security  conditions  in  the 
wake  of  an  on-campus  shooting.  The 
school  responded  by  installing  high- 
intensity  lights  on  campus,  arming  its 
five  security  guards  at  night  and  setting 
up  security  booths  at  both  campus 


The  only  demand  not  agreed  to. 
Paine  spokeswoman  Therese  Griffin 
said,  was  to  fence  in  the  entire  54-acre 


hearing  p 


'eriooked  a  more 
minor  request:  that  a  majority  of  the 
university's  board  of  trustees  be  deaf. 
Though  additional  deaf  members  have

Loyola  Mary  mount  University  in 
Los  Angeles  appointed  an  H -member 
committee  of  faculty,  alumni  and 
community  leaders  to  monitor  race 
relations  after  five  students  walked 
into  President  James  N.  Loughran's 
office  last  April  and  refused  to  leave 
until  he  addressed  racial  problems. 

Just  last  week,  students  at  Morgan 
Slate  University  in  Baltimore  ended  a 
weeklong  protest  by  convincing  the 
administration  to  install  more  lights 
and  hire  six  more  security  guards. 

No  progress  was  reported,  however, 
on  the  students'  biggest  request  —  for

country's  first  ever  Youth  Summit. 
The  schedule  was  full  and  everyone  in 
the  troupe  was  ready  for  a  "West  Coast 
Experience". 

The  first  leg  of  the  California  Tour 
look  Destiny  to  Pacific  Union  College. 
Everyone  in  the  troupe  was  excited 
and  nervous  at  the  same  time  about 
being  on  the  PUC  campus;  they  were 
unsure  how  a  group  of  "Soulhemers" 
would  be  received  on  the  West  Coast, 
so  everyone  remained  on  their  toes. 

Close  lo  1500  people  attended  the 
vespers  program  at  ihe  PUC  church 
that  Friday  nighl.  Destiny's  program, 
which  included  the  pieces  'The  New 
Christian"  and  "Soldiers  of  Light"  was 
well  received  by  the  audience. 

The  fears  of  the  troupe  were  relieved 
when  they  heard  loud  laughing  and 
hardy  "AMEN's"".  Also,  many 
students  came  up  and  personally 
thanked  the  members  for  the  vespers 
program. 

put  on  a  Sabbath  School  for  400-500 
people  in  Paulin  Hall  (Ackerman 
equivalent).  Destiny  performed  some 
of  iheir  street  drama  material  which 
focuses  in  on  "forgiveness"  and  a 
"su-ong  foundation  in  Christ". 

Later  that  afternoon.  Destiny  put  on 
a  2  1/2  hour  drama  workshop  empha- 
sizing the  seven  precepts  of  Christian 
Drama,  Learning  such  skills  as 
projection,  diction,  and  characteriza- 


-Ihe  troupe  because  of  its  cliffs,  rocky 
coast  line,  and  its  spectacular  view  of 
the  crashing  waves. 

After  a  busy  and  relaxing  week  alt 
rolled  up  in  lo  one.  Destiny  loaded  up 
the  van  and  headed  for  Sacramento  for 
their  last  exciting  weekend. 

to  end  the  lour.  Destiny  look  part  in 
the  country's  first  every  Youth 
Summit,  a  youth  rally  sponsored  by 
Ingigh(  magazine  to  kick  off  ihelr  new 
evangelistic  publication  Insiaht/Out 
which  was  held  at  Carmichae!  SDA 
Church.  Led  by  Steve  Case,  youih 
pastor  at  Carmichael.  and  Chris  Blake, 
editor  of  Insiphl.  the  estimated  crowd 
of  100-125  youth  swelled  close  to  300. 

The  idea  of  Youth  Summit  is  to 
bring  youth  closer  to  God  by  letting 
them  know  that  being  a  Christian  is  a 
lot  of  fun.  Blake's  goal  is  to  have 


part  of  the  first  o 
Allan  Manin. 

When  it  was  all  over.  Destiny  and 
the  leaders  of  Youth  Summit  talked 
about  the  day.  "Destiny  helped  fill  a 
void."  said  Steve  Case,  "You  were 
there  to  bridge  the  gap  between  us  and 
Ihe  kids."  Blake  also  had  several 
words  of  appreciation  after  the  one-day 
rally  was  over. 

In  the  span  of  only  twelve  days,  the 
Destiny  Drama  Co.  performed  fo  rover 
4000  people.  It's  difficult  to  say  if 
Iheir  performances  had  a  direct  effect 
on  people's  lives,  but  Destiny  member 
Tricia  Greene  said,  "If  the  Holy  Spirit 
used  us  to  help  only  one  person  grow 
closer  to  God,  it  was  worth  it."

such  as  No-Doz  and  Vivarin  and  some 
ofusdon'i? 

A:  I  believe  it  all  depends  on  how 
sensitive  one  is  lo  caffeine.  Many 
people  are  not  aware  that  taking  over- 
the-counter  caffeine  medications  is  not 
quite  the  same  as  drinking  a  Coke  or 
Mountain  Dew  to  stay  awake. 

Did  you  know  that  No-Doz  has  100 
milligrams  of  caffeine  and  Vivarin  has 
200  mg?  One  can  compare  those 
figures  to  the  46  mg  in  Coke  and  54 
mg  in  Mountain  Dew.  So  as  you  can 
see,  taking  one  Vivarin  equals  3.7  cans 
of  Mountain  Dew. 

Adverse  reactions  to  caffeine 


products  include  rapid  pulse,  respira- 
tions with  hyperventilation,  confusion. 
irritability,  nausea,  hallucinations, 

coma.  It  lakes  approjiimaiely  5-6 
hours  for  the  body  to  metabolize  half 
the  amount  of  the  caffeine  ingested  by 
an  adult,  this  means  that  the  symp- 
toms will  remain  with  you  for  a  while. 

The  harmful  effects  of  caffeine  are 
quite  evident,  yet  many  not  only 
choose  to  ingest  it  but  go  as  far  as 
sharing  with  their  friends  No-Doz  and 


ViVE 


ying  a 


study.  That  is  a  great  responsibility  to 
take  into  one's'  hands  knowing  that 
everyone  reacts  to  caffeine  differently. 
You'd  be  a  fool  for  giving  it  to  a  friend 
and  a  greater  one  for  taking  it.

NCAA  Tournament  Sweet  Sixteen  filled  with  surprises

Texas? 

Ball  Slate? 

Xavier? 

What  if  ihey  gave  an  NCAA 
regional  and  nobody  you  expected 

Bloody  Sunday  is  over,  and  ihe 
NCAA  Toumameni  is  down  to  the 
Sweet  1 6.  It  doesn't  have  No.  I  seed 
Oklahoma.  Or  No.  2  seeds  Purdue, 
Kansas  or  Arizona  —  a  shocking  22- 
poini  loser  to  Alabama.  Or  Geor- 
getown, Louisville  or  Missouri.  One 
after  another,  ihe  big  names  were 
carried  out  on  their  shields,  while  the 
little  guys  danced  at  midcouri.  The 
NCAA  bracket  is  beginning  to  sound 
like  the  NTT. 

It  doesn't  have  defending  champion 
Michigan.  Not  anymore.

Big  Eight,  the  league  that  controlled 
the  lop  of  the  polls  all  season.  The 
Plains  went  ploohy. 

Of  the  16  teams  seeded  in  Ihe  lop 
four  in  each  region,  nine  were  upset. 
Last  year?  Only  three  look  the  early 
bullet 

But  it  is  March,  and  drama  has  hit 
the  ground  running. 

They  played  16  games  Saturday 
and  Sunday.  Twelve  were  decided  by 
four  points  or  less.  The  Super  Bowl. 

"There  are  no  easy  teams  left," 
Texas  coach  Tom  Fenders  said  after 
his  Longhoms  stunned  Purdue.  "But  I 
didn't  see  any,  anyway." 

Nobody  was  safe.  Michigan  Slate, 
pride  of  the  Big  Ten,  huffed  past 
Murray  State  and  puffed  past  Califor- 
nia-Santa Barbara. 

There  is  a  I2th  seed  still  running. 
Ball  State  is  in  the  regional  for  the  Hrsl 

So  is  1  Oth-seeded  Texas  and  6th- 


seeded  Xavier. 

"The  big  thing  was,"  Xavier  coach 
Pete  Gillen  said  after  his  team  beat 
Georgetown,  "our  players  believed 

they  could  win.  We're  closing  the  gap 
on  these  superpowers." 

They  all  believe  now.  From  Prince- 

Before  this  past  week.  Ball  Stale 
and  Xavier  had  each  won  one  NCAA 
tournament  game  in  history.  Now 
they're  both  in  the  regional. 

Proud  old  names  of  questionable 
current  strength  also  moved  in. 

There  is  UCLA,  which  hasn't  been 
this  far  since  Larry  Brown  took  the 


There  is  Noilh  Carolina,  which 
spent  much  of  ihe  season  answering 
questions  about  why  it  was  supposedly 
the  worst  Tar  Heel  team  since  either 
Ihe  Neanderthal  era  or  before  Dean 
Smith  was  coach,  whichever  came 

"Now,"  said  Rick  Fox,  the  Tar  Heel 
whose  basket  sank  Oklahoma,  "people 
will  look  at  us  differently," 

Meanwhile,  Loyola  Marymounl 
builds  on  a  story  for  the  ages.  Emotion 

magnable  level  —  149  points  worth 
against  Michigan  Sunday,  With  each 
passing  victory,  another  layer  goes  on

The  Big  Eight  had  the  best  rankings 
this  season.  The  Big  Ten  had  the  most 
teams  invited.  Seven.

top  seed  that  breezed  through  the  first 
weekend,  the  Huskies'  pressure

ticket  to  Denver. 

Next  up  for  Connecticut  is 
Clemson,  which  spent  the  weekend 
on  Ihe  brink:  winning  only  because 
BYU  missed  a  late  layup  and  rallying

SOUTHEAST  —  Top-seed 
Michigan  State  made  its  way  through 
the  early  rounds  with  defense,  but 
will  have  to  turn  things  up  to  get  past 
Georgia  Tech  in  New  Orleans.

Or  do  the  Tar  Heels  have  a  letdown

"Not  a  chance,"  guard  King  Rice 
said.  "We've  struggled  a  lot,  and  we're 
not  going  to  lapse  now.  We  want  to 
make  the  final  show," 

The  other  game  is  the  duel  of  the 
underdogs,  with  Xavier  against  Texas, 
which  had  the  rotten  luck  of  having  to 
play  Purdue  in  Indianapolis,  but  comes

Doctors  at  the  University  of

In  light  of  the  hectic

misanthropic  individuals  who

expelled  after  school 
song  incident

Elvis  Presley,  freshman 
music  major,  was  expelled,  and 
Edgar  Allen  Poe.  Walla  Walla 
transfer  student,  was  put  on  lifetime 
Citizenship  Probation  last  Sunday 
following  an  impromptu  perform- 
ance of  the  Southern  College  school 
song. 

The  duo  set  up  their  band 
in  the  middle  of  Taylor  Circle  and 
played  to  the  homeless  and  the 
auto-body  workers  repairing  Wright 
Hall.  Student-S  rushed  from  their 
dorm  rooms  to  hear  the  music.  This 
is  the  first  time  students  anywhere 
have  voluntarily  attended  a  per- 
formance of  a  school  song. 

When  asked  why  they 
chose  this  particular  piece,  Poe  said, 
"This  is  a  song  we  utterly  loathed 
for  fifteen  long  years,  but  now  we 


resurrected  it  in  a  slightly  more  tricky 
form  to  make  it  a  litUe  more  fun  to  play." 
Elvis  agreed,  "Yep." 

Obviously,  the  students  enjoyed 
the  performance.  Even  the  radical 
militant  feminists  left  off  their  heckling 
long  enough  to  listen  in  on  the  concert. 
But  not  everyone  was  happy. 

Dr.  McArthur,  history  depart- 
ment chairman,  called  the  performance 
"an  abomination. ..literally  shame  and 
degradation...  worse  than  burning  nags." 

McArthur  contacted  Dr.  Sahly 
who  had  been  conferring  with  Richard 
Nixon  on  methods  for  student  control. 
Sahly  immediately  unplugged  Elvis' 
microphone,  abrubily  ending  the  conce 

Sahly  said,  "In  light  of  the  ^ 
hectic  events  of  last  week,  it  wouldn't  be 
prudent  at  this  juncture  to  allow  this  so 
of  behavior.  Before  Sahly.  rock.  With 
Sahly,  no  rock.  After  Sahly,  who  can

The  1988-89  Southern 
Accent  has  been  posthumously  se- 
lected to  receive  the  coveted 
Martin  award  for  excellence  in 
assistant  editorship.  The  Ameri- 
can Society  for  Ihe  Prelection  of

that  fateful  message  a  cold  chill  ran 
down  my  spine.  I  could  all  but  feel  the 
insidious  forces  at  work  behind  what  I 
was  hearing.  For  several  months,  I 
noticed  a  tuber  trend  in  Southern's 
cuisine,  but  had  passed  it  off  as  one  of 


According  to  Indy.  Monte 
Mitzelfeit,  sophomore  computer 
science  major  discovered  that  the 
transcendent  aura  and  focusing  power 
of  the  common  potato  greatly  re- 
sembles that  of  the  quartz  crystal, 
during  his  travels  in  Belgium.  After 
several  minutes  of  intensive  study,  he 
founded  a  new  monastic  order  combin- 
ing elements  of  Lutheranism  with  the 
potato,  a  down  to  earth  source  of  pow- 
erful harmonic  vibes.  He  called  it 
"The  Potato  Head  Groove  Thing." 

Committed  to  uplifting  the 
Southern  College  intelligence  quotient. 
Mitzelfeit  abandoned  his  plan  to  build 
a  pyramid  over  the  campus  and  instead 
implemented  potato  power.  He 
recruited  huge  numbers  of  converts 
who  began  performing  daily  rituals 
deep  underground  and  cooking  cold 
potatoes. 

To  meet  his  ever  increasing 
demand  for  tuber  products,  Mitzelfeit 
eventually  had  to  set  up  a  smuggling

Mark  Peach,  his  agent  in  Geimany,  in

Arab  fruit  juices.

Prominent  sources  at  the

conference  on  ihe  morning  of  March 
twenty-ihjrd,  Thatcher  deans 
revealed  thai  a  hidden  surveillance 
syslem  is  already  in  limited  use  in 
Ihe  women's  residence  hall.  Afier

Journalists  died  down,  Dean  Rose 
said,  "We  hope  to  go  full  scale  with

It  has  been  raining  again  in 
Collegedale.  but  this  time  even  the  na- 
tives were  upset.  Though  past  studies 
proved  there  are  at  least  358  rainy  days 
a  year  at  Southern  College,  this  was 
not  everyday  rain. 

Il  was  raining  up— literally. 

For  the  past  five  days, 
Collegedale  has  been  subjected  to  the 
oddest  meteorological  phenomenon 
this  side  of  Apison.  A  steady  shower 
has  been  pelting  upwards  out  of  the 
ground  and  vanishing  somewhere 
above  in  a  cloudless  sky.

more  worried.  "Jo-Anne  Stevenson  is 
still  down  there.  And  Morgan  is

happened  with  Peach." 

Damp  and  shivering,  every-

Saturday.  Suddenly,  Sunday  morning, 
the  rain  stopped  as  a  grey  mist  shot  out 
of  the  tunnel  and  vanished  over  the 

Moments  later,  Morgan  and

watched,  glued  to  their  televisions,  as 
Willard  Scott  asked  him  what  had

"Apparently,"  Morgan  said, 
"a  small  rain  cloud  was  trapped  when 
Wright  Hall  collapsed  last  Sunday.  It 
got  lost  in  the  labyrinth  of  caves 
beneath  Collegedale,  lonesome  and 
frightened.  Terrified  at  the  sight  of  a

Of  Mice  and  Men 


By  Rock  Hudson

Apple  College  Information  Network 

This  week  the  Accent  takes  a 
serious  look  at  another  growing  social 
phenomenon  in  the  world.  The 
problem  of  Mice  and  Men.  Just  what 

mouse? 

"Well,  it's  not  a  question  of 
wanting  to  be  a  mouse. ..it  Just  son  of

realize  Ihat's  what  you  want  to  be," 
says  an  anonymous  Southern  College 
student  reccndy  interviewed  by  an 
anonymous  Southern  Accent  reporter. 

Anonymous  Reporter:  When  did  you 
first  notice  these  tendencies? 
Anonymous  Student;  Well...my 
Freshman  year  I  went  to  this  party 
with  some  friends  at  UTC,  and.  er... 
we  drank  a  loi  of  Doctor  Pepper.. .and 
then  some  of  the  guys,  uh...staned 
handing  cheese  around.  So,  just  out  of 
curiosity  I  tried  a  biL..and  well  that 

AR:  What  else  did  these  friends  of 
yours  do? 

AS:  Well  some  ofthem  kind  of 
dressed  up  like  mice  a  little  and 
then.. .when  they  got  the  costumes  on 
they  sianed...you  know... squeaking. 
AR:  What  was  your  reaction  to  this? 
AS;     I  was  shocked  at  first.  But, 
er...gradually  I  came  to  feel  that  I  was 
more  at  ease  in  the  company  of  other 


This  is  a  ^pica!  example  of 
the  Mouse  problem.  A  problem  which 
is  sweeping  over  our  campus  faster 
than  Michael  Gorbachev  can  ovemin 

According  to  Larry  Williams, 
of  the  Psychology  departmenl,  at  least 
8  percent  of  the  population  will  always 
be  mice.  "There's  something  of  the

in  our  lives  we  haven't  been  attracted

very  illegality  of  it.  It's  like  murder- 
make  a  thing  illegal  and  it  acquires  a 
mystique.  Look  at  arson-How  many  of 
us  can  honestly  say  we  haven't  set  fire 
to  some  large  public  building  or 
hospital  or  something  at  one  time  or 
another  in  our  lives.  I  know  I  have." 

However,  students  are  clearly 
hostile  to  mice.  "I  understand  that 
they  can't  help  themselves."  says  Mike 


hmgw 


Alex  "William  Jennings"  Bryan.  "I 
think  that  these  mouse  offenders 
clearly  deserve  the  death  penalty." 

Darin  Stewan  said,  "I'm  an 
Accounting  major  and  consequently 
too  twring  to  have  anything  of  interest 

The  Collegedale  police  also 
take  a  dim  view  of  mice.  "We  know 
that  these  things  (Mouse  parties)  are 
going  on  in  the  area."  said  Elvis 
Presely.  temporary  deputy.  "We  have 
undercover  people  working  the  mouse 
scene.  They've  made  several  buys  in 
the  area  recently.,. Brie, 
Camemben.-.even  some  of  the  harder 
siuff  like  Cheddar  and  Gouda.  We're 
very  close  to  a  major  bust." 

Perhaps  we  need  to  know 

mice  before  we  judge  them.  Then 
again,  perhaps  we  don'i.  Anyway  this 
is  the  end  of  the  wiicle.  The  clock  has 
just  struck  one  and  I  can  hear  the 
farmer's  wife  coming  around  the 
comer.  Squeak!

What 


As  I  look  to  the  1990s  it  is  my  goal 
to  have  a  spiritual  revival,  not  just  on 
campus  but  in  the  church  at  large.  The 
church  growth  here  in  North  America 
is  in  a  pathetic  state  especially  when 
compared  to  the  rest  of  the  world.

creating  balance  in  the  diverse  popula-

Norton,  Director  of  Student  Finance. 
Some  of  these  include  Restricted 
Scholarships,  Pell  Grants.  Slate  Grants. 
Supplemental  Educational  Opportunity 
Grants,  Stafford  Loans,  Perkins  Loans. 
and  Work-Study  Programs. 

Restricted  Scholarships  are  given  to 
sludenLs  who  maintain  high  academic 
achievement  and/or  meet  the  require- 
ments of  the  individual  scholarh.sip. 

For  example,  a  Dora  McClellan 
Brown  Scholarship  is  for  theology 
majors  and  a  George  Aldcn  Nursing 
Scholarship  is  for  nursing  students 
from  Florida.  Many  more  restricted 
scholarships  arc  listed  in  the  Financial 
Aid  section  of  the  Southern  College 


>w  cost  becomes 
:ow  quality,  we  really 
have  anything  to  market.  We 


can  show  they  have  a  great  financial 
need.  Not  just  anyone  can  obtain  a 
grant.  The  student  must  apply  for 
federal  aid  (grants)  and  then  submit : 


letter  of  request  to  the  Loan  and 
Scholarship  Committee.  The  commit- 
tee will  then  look  at  the  student's  grade 
point  average,  ACT  scores,  citizenship 
record,  and  work  record  to  see  if  the 
student  is  really  putting  forth  enough 
effort  to  be  worthy  of  financial  aid. 
The  student  must  have  a  real  need  and 
must  already  be  working  before  real 
consideration  is  given.  "You  demon- 
strate you're  doing  your  part,  and  we'll 
work  out  a  program."  says  Norton. 

Loans  are  obtained  by  borrowing 
money  from  the  federal  government 
through  the  school  or  by  borrowing 
from  a  bank.  Most  loans  are  guaran- 
teed by  state  agencies.  In  a  Parent- 
Plus  Loan,  parents  may  borrow  up  to 
$4,000  a  year  to  a  limit  of  $20,000. 
Beginning  times  for  paying  back  the 
loans  vary  anywhere  from  60  days  to 
nine  months  after  graduation  or  when 
Ihe  student  drops  below  a  half-time 
enrollment  status. 

Through  the  Work-Study  Program. 
the  govemment  pays  for  most  of  Ihe 

for  by  the  employer.  Information  on 
who  is  eligible  for  the  program  is 
available  at  Wright  Hall. 

Pamphlets,  applications,  and  more 
details  about  any  of  these  programs  are 
available  at  the  Financial  Aid  office. 


Do  not  be  afraid  of  enemies;  the  worst  they  can  do  is  kill 

you.  Do  not  be  afraid  of  friends;  the  worst  they  can  do  is

DearEdilor. 

I  have  attended  Soulhem  for 
three  years.  Wilhin  this  short  period 
of  lime,  I've  seen  and  experienced  a 
lo!  of  ihings  thai  God  might  not 
approve  of.  God  has  given  the 
leaders  of  this  school  opponunities  lo 
preach  and  speak  his  words.  I'm 
speaking  of  leaders  like  teachers, 
administrators,  and  most  importanily 
the  pasmral  staff.  The  spiritual 
leaders  here  have  a  great  deal  of 
responsibility  lo  lead  the  young  in  the 
righi  way. 

I  can  imagine  thai  the  deans 
are  probably  wondering  why  instead 
of  tjymgiogetiovi/orship.  the 
students  are  trying  to  gel  out  of 
worship.  When  we  do  go  to  worship. 
we  have  no  reverence.  It's  as  though 
we  are  anywhere  but  the  House  of  the 
Lord.  Friday  night  vespers  is  like 
going  to  Marccy's  Massage  Parlor. 
Girls  and  guys  can't  keep  their  hands 
off  their  companions.  "Preach  the 
Word." 

I  feel  as  though  the  pastoral 
staff  doesn't  fully  realize  the  respon- 
sibility that  lies  before  it.  The 
pastors  need  to  come  to  some  of  the 
students'  rooms  and  listen  to  some  of 
iheir  Satanic  music.  They  should 
their  Satanic  symbols 
i.  We  must 
Satan  has  control  of 


Southern  College  campus  he's  doing 
every  thing  in  his  will  to  lead  us 
astray,  eventually  causing  us  to  be 


lost  in  total  darkness.  "'Preach  the 
Word." 

Many  students  and  faculty 
members  agree  with  me  when  1  say  this 
style  of  preaching  for  worship  services 
just  doesn't  fly.  Th  pastoral  suff  here 
would  be  surprised  at  how  many 
students  would  love  to  hear  the  Word  of 
God  preached.  "Preach  to  Word." 

"Once  upon  a  time,"  how 
many  times  have  we  heard  this  phrase 
during  worship?  This  is  the  phrase  used 
for  fiction  story  books.  This  is  the  line 
we  read  to  our  children  at  bedtime  in 
order  to  put  them  to  sleep.  And  this  is 
just  what's  happening  when  someone 
j/ith  a  phrase  like  this. 


Wee 


eups[ 


ally,  not  to  go  to  sleep.  "Preach  the 
Word." 

I  must  tell  students  at  S.C.  not 

chicken  with  his  head  cut  off.  I  ran 
from  church  to  church  looking  for  some 
pastor  to  save  my  soul;  however,  insieac 
1  found  pastors  who  are  afraid  to  hurt 
someone's  feelings.  They  sugar  coal 
God's  words.  They  don't  "Preach  the 
Word,"  with  authority.  We  must  realize 
that  pastors  and  Church  leaders  can 
cause  us  to  be  lost  rather  than  saved. 
We  must  remember  that  God  uses 
ministers  as  tools  lo  reach  his  people 
through  the  Bible,  the  Spirit  of  Proph- 
ecy, prayer,  and  most  of  all  the  Holy 
Spirit.  Pasiorsdon't  have  the  right  to 
preach  the  way  they  want  to.  "Preach 
the  Word."

Dear  Editor, 
In  converse 
S.C  as  well  as  in  articles  and 
odiiorials  appearing  in  the  Accent,  I 
frequently  note  the  use  of  the  word 
"arbitrary"  in  referring  to  the  rules 
and  regulations  ai  S.C.  I  have  also 
noted  that  if  one  tries  to  discuss  the 
rules  and  regulations  with  faculty  and 
US  of  moral 


and  regulations  we  endure  are  in  fact 
arbitrary.  The  reason.  I  believe,  for 
discomfiture  at  the  mention  of  prin- 
ciple is  that  if  we  try  to  understand 
;  rule  or  regulation  in  terms  of 


iciple 


evaluate  all  rules  and  regulati 
such  manner.  No  one  in  authority 
here  at  S.C.  wants  to  do  that  because 
ihey  very  well  know,  though  il  may 
be  heaiedly  denied,  that  Biblical  and 
Spirit  of  Prophecy  principles  play  a 
very  small  role  in  determining 
today's  S.C.  rules  and  regulations. 

Many  self-supporting  schools 
claim  to  carefully  follow  Spirit  of 
Prophecy  counsel  and  thus  make  life 
dull  and  monotonous  in  everything 

Conference  and  union  schools  tend  to 
believe  that  if  they  are  going  to 
recruit  and  hold  energetic,  up-beat 
and  vibrantly  alive  young  people  Ihey 
must  minimize  Ellen  White's  counsel 
on  lifestyle  in  particular.  In  the  view 
of  this  writer,  both  positions  en- 
Several  faculty  members  have  told 


me  that  orgamzauons  and  institulioni 
have  a  right  to  make  whatever  rules  they 
wish  even  if  the  rules  are  arbiliary.  This 
may  be  true  for  worldly  institutions,  but 
I  do  not  believe  it  is  true  for  institutions 
claiming  God  as  the  head.  Procedural 
rules  and  regulations  established  for  the 
sake  of  convenience  may  be  arbitrary. 
But  where  there  is  a  moral  issue 
involved  the  rules  must  be  arbiuary. 
Thisisthestuffof  which  tyrannies  and 
despotisms  are  founded.  It  reminds  one 
of  nation-slates  in  which  constitutions 
are  frequently  suspended,  the  press 
censored,  and  basic  human  rights 
routinely  violated.  When  everything  is 
arbitrary  there  is  no  safety  at  all  excepi 
where  God  mandates  special  interven- 
tion. God  does  not  govern  this  way.  I 
do  not  believe  He  wants  His  earthly 
institutions  governed  this  way. 

I  want  those  reading  this  to  know  thai 
I  appreciate  the  candor  and  honesty  of 
the  faculty  and  administration  of  S.C.  I 
am  only  one  Seventh-Day  Adventisl. 
However,  my  perspective  on  much  of 
what  is  being  done  at  S.C  and  espe- 
cially the  way  it  is  being  done  is  clearly 
different  from  that  of  the  administraiion 
and  much  of  the  faculty.  I  am  as 
concerned  as  anyone  to  have  the  college 
project  a  positive  and  favorable  image  to 
the  constituency  and  the  non-Adventisi 
worid.  However.  I  am  not  so  concerned 
with  image  that  I  want  to  distort  in  my 
own  thinking,  and  that  of  others,  the 
character  and  government  of  God.  and 
end  up  lieaung  my  brothers  and  sisters 
in  the  Church  in  ways  that  Christ  never

Engineering  and  Technology 
club  formed  to  encourage  and 
assist  students  in  those  fields 


By  Lisa  Rosaasen 

Brian  Hartman,  sophomore  engi- 
neering major,  has  formed  an  Engi- 
neering and  Technology  club  to  assist, 
encourage,  and  involve  engineering/ 
technology  majors.  "As  a  freshman,  1 
found  that  ihe  engineering/technology 

offer  ihem  beneficial  activities,"  said 
Harlman. 

The  club's  first  activity  was  a  tour  of 
the  campus  telephone  and  computer 
facilities  on  March  27,  Four  engineer- 
ing majors  attended  along  with  Mr. 
John  Durichek,  chairman  of  the 
technology  department. 

Their  second  meeting  was  a  dcpari- 
menial  chapel  on  Aprils.  Bill  Belles, 
interstate  architect  and  president  of 
Kirkman  and  Belles  Architects  in 
Cleveland,  was  the  guest  speaker. 

He  addressed  the  importance  of  the 
relationship  between  engineers  and 
architects.  In  his  discussion.  Belles 
strcs.sed  that  engineering  majors 
shouldn't  let  the  difficult  math  courts 
discourage  them  from  pursuing  the 
field  of  engineering.  He  said  the 
engineering  work  field  is  different 
from  the  required  engineering  educa- 

Twenty-five  students,  mostly  engi- 
neering majors,  attended  the  meeting. 

Belles  is  doing  architectural  work  for 
Southern  College,  designing  a  pro- 
posed science  complex  and  redesigning 
I>anieU's  Hall. 

A  third  tentative  activity,  that 
Hartman  has  planned  for  this  year,  is  a 


field  trip  to  a  local  compact  disc  plant 
Although  this  school  year  is  almost 
over,  the  club  chose  officers  to  finish 
the  year.  Hartman  was  elected  as 
acting  president  Bill  Fentress,  a 
sophomore  engmeering  major  is  acting 
secretary-treasurer,  and  Mr.  Durichek 

Hartman  said  officers  for  next  year 
could  have  been  chosen  this  year,  but 
since  the  engineering  major  spends 
only  two  years  at  Southern,  he  wanted 
to  give  the  freshmen  an  opportunity  to 
be  officers  as  well. 

Although  Hartman  and  Fentress  will 
be  transferring  to  Walla  Walla  college 
next  year  to  complete  their  degrees,  he

Southern  College  teaching  staff  and 
take  away  some  of  the  present  staff. 

In  an  effort  to  not  have  as  many 
contract  teachers  next  year,  several 
departments  will  be  taking  on  full- 
time  teachers. 

The  biology  department  will  be 
taking  on  Dr.  David  Ekkens  from 
Kettering  College,  and  also  Bill 
Hayes  who  is  presently  completing 
a  doctorate  at  the  University  of 
Wyoming.  The  department  will  be 
losing  Marcie  Woolsey  who  will  be 
getting  married. 

Pam  Ahfeld  will  be  joining  the 
nursing  department  along  with  one 


more,  yet  undecided,  teacher. 

Behavioral  science  will  be  losing 
Lany  Williams,  who  will  be 
studying  for  his  doctorate  al  the 
University  of  Tennessee  at  Kn- 
oxviile. 

Terrie  Ruff  will  be  taking  Wil- 
liam's place.  She  attended  Southern 
College  several  years  ago,  but 
graduated  from  the  University  of 
South  Carolina  with  a  masters  in 
social  work. 

Robert  Moore  wLl  also  be 
teaching  at  Southern  next  year  in  the 
math  department,  but  his  is  not  a 
completely  new  face.  He  taught  at 
Southern  four  years  ago  and  is  now 
returning  with  his  Ph.d,  in  mathe- 


eihecl 


.  Mr. 


Duricheck  said  he  will  encourage  the 


club  ic 


a  strong  student  leader  that  will  take 
care  of  most  of  the  planning. 

Some  of  Ihe  activities  Hartman 
would  like  to  sec  offered  next  year  are 
a  field  trip  to  a  Lockheed  airplane 
plant,  a  field  hip  to  a  TVA  electrical 
plant  and  control  center  in  Chicka- 
mauga,  and  an  egg -drop  contest, 

Hartman 's  goals  for  the  remainder  of 
Uiis  year  and  for  the  club  in  the  future 
are  to  provide  a  support  group,  to 
provide  special  diversions  and  learning 
experiences,  to  provide  a  practical 
organization  that  will  balance  the 
theoretical  math  and  physics  clubs,  and 
to  provide  field  trips  that  will  give 
engineering  students  a  view  of  the 
prospective  woric  environment  as  well 
as  local  contacts.  He  also  plans  to

Stepanske  comments  on  her  trip, 
"One  of  the  things  1  hope  to  get  out  of 
this  trip  is  to  visit  schools  in  other 
countries  and  compare  their  educa- 
tional programs  with  American

Thatcher  residents 
opposed  to 
surveillance 
camera  plans 


said  DeliKe  Dent,  soptiomore  in 
Thatclier  Hall  where  controversy 
over  placement  of  surveillance 
cameras  in  hallways  is  causing 
turmoil. 

The  cameras  were  a  suggestion 
from  Dean  Lydia  Rose  after  seeing  a 
similar  security  system  at  Pacific 
Union  College.  The  proposal  was 
added  lo  the  departmental  "wish  list" 
and  submined  to  McKee  Baking  Co. 
who  donated  funds  necessary  to 
purchase  the  cameras,  said  Rose. 

■•It's  not  a  ma

Residents  of  Thatcher  have  mixe 
opinions  about  the  cameras  being 
placed  in  (heir  dorni.  Sophomore. 
Karen  Crismond,  says  she  feels  it 
wouldn't  be  so  much  an  invasion  o 
privacy  if  the  cameras  were  placed 
only  at  entrance  ways.  "It's  a  good 
security  device,  but  I  feel  funny 
about  having  a  camera  m  the  hall  oi 
my  home,"  Some,  like  sophomore 
Lisa  Rosaasen,  feel  that  there  are 
other  areas  on  campus  that  need 
anenlion.  "The  walkfrom Brock' 


Hall  t(

promenade  is  dimly  lit  and  defmiiely 
deserves  priority,"  said  Rosaasen. 

Others  simply  feel  that  there's  been 
no  need  before,  why  now?  ■'Our 
doors  are  always  locked.  I  don't  see 
the  purpose,"  said  sophomore. 
Amber  Murphy. 

Tamara  Michaelenko,  Junior,  says 

can't  see  the  problem. 

According  lo  Dean  Rose  there  are 
problems.  There  has  been  vandalism 
on  several  occasions  by  academy  age 
boys  who  enter  the  doim  through  the 
side  door  used  by  the  janitors.  Rose 
says  the  cameras  would  eliminate  this 
problem  and  others  such  as  unauthor- 
ized males  in  the  dorm  and  stealing 
from  laundry  rooms. 


Christian  literature  conference  held  here 


By  Can  Cruze 

The  Souiheastem  Regional  Meeting 
of  ihe  Conference  on  Christianity  and 
Literature  took  place  at  Southern 
College  April  5-7. 

Seventy  people  representing  thirty 
colleges  and  universities  and  fifteen 
states  took  part  in  the  conference, 
which  examines  what  relationships 
exist  between  Christianity  and  litera- 

The  conference  involved  a  keynote 
address,  the  reading  of  papers  on 
Christianity  and  literature,  responses  to 


by  Judy  Glass,  a  performance  by  Ihe 
Destiny  Drama  Company,  and  a  dinnt 
at  President  Don  Sahly's  home. 

According  to  Dr.  Dave  Smith,  who 
served  as  the  program  chair,  the 
participants  expressed  how  beautiful 
the  campus  was  and  how  friendly  the 
Southern  College  students  were  to 
them.  "The  conference  went  very 
well,  and  everyone  enjoyed  iL  There 
were  good,  quality  papers  read  and 
some  fine  Christian  fellowship."  said 

The  keynote  address  speaker  was 
Professor  Leland  Ryken  from  Wheaton     Universi^ 
College  in  Illinois.  Ryken  received  his 


Ph.D.  from  the  University 
1968,  focusing  on  the 
English  Renaissance, 

The  paper  voted  most  outstanding 
was  John  Zubizarreta's  "T.S.  Eliot  and 
the  Gospel  of  St.  John."  He  is  from 
Columbia  college,  and  his  was  the  last 
paper  to  be  read  at  the  conference. 

There  were  some  students  participat- 
ing from  the  area  including  students 
from  Lee  College,  Bryan  College,  and 
Covenant  College.

"Setting  our  Sights  on  the  Saviour" 


COLLEGIATE  ADVENTISTS  REACHING  EVERYONE 


Angels  watching 
over  us  daily 


By  Andy  Nash 

As  typical  Adveniisi  children,  my 
younger  sister,  Angela,  and  I  were 
once  avid  listeners  lo  the  "Your  Story 
Hour"  tape  coiiection — with  Aunt  Sue 
and  Uncle  Dan. 

The  sloiy  that  peaked  our  interest 
more  than  any  other  was  one  entitled, 
"Strangers  in  the  Nighl."  In  it,  two 
ihildren  left  alone  in  their  home  are 
visited  by  a  "mean  man"  and  later,  a 
"nice  inan"  (as  we  called  them).  The 
nice  man,  exhibiting  tremendous 
strength,  protected  the  children  from 
the  robber.  Laterlhatevening.  he  went 
to  he  down  in  the  guest  room  and 
somehow  disappeared  without  leavmg 
any  tracks  in  the  snow.  "...For  some 
people  have  enienained  angels  without 
knowing  it,"  Aunt  Sue  explained.  This 
always  fascinated  us! 

concept  Angels  are  mentioned  first  in 
Genesis  3:27,  when  God  placed  Ihem 
at  the  gates  of  the  Garden  of  Eden  to 
keep  sin  out  and  to  guard  the  Tree  of 
Life.  In  fact,  the  Bible  speaks  of 
angels  over  three  hundred  times.  Ellen 
White  adds  that  angels  were  respon- 
sible for  guiding  the  animals  into  the 
ark  and  for  watching  over  the  infant 
Moses  in  the  bullnishes.  H.M.S. 
Richards  says,  "The  scriptures  lell  us 
more  about  angels  than  about  baptism, 
the  Lord's  Supper,  the  Sabbath,  ...the 

Second  Advent!"  With  all  this  biblical 
publicity,  angels  must  be  a  force  in  our 
world  today  as  well. 

written  on  ihe  occult,  the  Devil,  and 
demons,  people  are  frequently  drawn 
away  from  the  study  of  the  Lord  and 
His  messengers,  states  Billy  Graham. 
This  sometimes  is  where  misconcep- 
tions of  angels  begin.  Over  the  years, 
I've  heard  angels  described  as  passive 
spirits  that  make  music  with  their 
haips  as  they  float  through  the  clouds. 
This  just  isn't  accurate! 

When  invited  into  our  lives,  angels 
protect,  befriend,  and  enhghten  us 
through  the  saving  power  of  Jesus 
Christ.  And  Ihey  love  doing  it! 

"Through  the  ministry  of  angels. 


Richards.  And  J.R.Williams  tells  us, 
"That  angels  are  present  with  us  for 
protection  and  deliverance  is  a 
beautiful  truth  of  the  Bible..."  Most 
sources  convey  the  fact  that  these 
celestial  beings  are  here  lo  help. 
However,  before  the  angels  of 


Heaven  can  use  their  incredible 


welcomed.  When  we  pray  and  ask  for 
God's  assistance,  it  gives  Him  justifi- 
cation in  helping  us.  Often  this  is  done 
through  His  angels. 

And  what  powers  they  have!  Ellen 
White  tells  us  that  when  Jesus  was 
being  mocked  and  beaten  before  His 
crucifixion,  the  angels  of  Heaven  were 
watching  in  honor.  They  wanted  to 
intercede,  but  were  not  allowed.  'The 
weakest  angel  could  have  caused  that 
mocking  throng  to  fail  powerless,  and 
could  have  delivered  Jesus." 

The  angels  of  the  Lord  are  anxious

When  that  word  comes,  the  angels 
excitedly  rush  to  "encamp  around 
those  who  serve  Him"  (Psalms  34:7). 

While  angels  have  the  power  to 
guide  and  protect  us  from  the  evil 
demons  of  Satan,  we  have  something 
that  the  angels  can  only  marvel  over — 
redemption.  At  one  point  in  the  novel 
Piercine  the  Darkness,  by  Frank  E. 
Peretli.  the  angels  of  God  are  in  a  park 
with  a  young  girl  named  Sally  Roe 
who  is  about  lo  accept  Jesus  Christ 
into  her  life.  The  kneeling  angels 
encircle  Sally,  their  heads  bowed,  their 
swords  lying  in  the  grass  like  "spokes 

ion.  It 

I  believe  that,  in  the  unseen  worid. 
angelic  celebrations  such  as  this  take 
place  when  a  person  comes  to  Christ. 
Ellen  While  notes  that  "Every  true 
confession  glorifies  Him,  and  causes 
the  angels  to  break  forth  into  singing." 
And,  according  to  Graham,  "Angels 
set  all  the  bells  of  Heaven  in  motion 
ir  rejoicing  lover  the  saved]

For  some  reason,  the  angels  of  God 
love  us.  Ellen  While  informs  us  that 
when  Jesus  told  the  angels  of  His  plan 
to  come  10  Earth  to  save  the  sinners, 
the  angels  were  shocked  and  greatly 
saddened  by  the  announcement.  "The 
angels  prostrated  themselves  at  the  feet 
of  their  Commander,  and  offered  to 
become  a  sacrifice  for  man."  How- 
ever, the  anfiels  couldn't  take  the  place

from  1984-86)  and  David  Denton 
(6-year  Destiny  veteran).  Their 

memorale  the  troupe's  tenth 
anniversary  season.  EYEWIT- 
NESS was  a  stimng  portrayal  of  a 
modem  Christ  and  the  significant 
effect  He  had  on  His  contemporar- 
ies. Powerfully  presenting  the 
personality  of  Jesus  Christ  in  a 
20lh-cenlury  sening,  EYEWIT- 
NESS explored  the  relationships  of 
1990s  men  and  women  lo  a  living 
Messiah. 

From  the  birth  of  Christ  to  His 
death,  all  events  were  portrayed 
before  the  eyes  of  a  captivated 
audience  wondering  what  would  be 
happening  next  to  this  modem  day 
Messiah. 

Among  the  audience  were  ap- 
proximately 70  individuals  who 
registered  for  the  Southeastern 
Regional  Meeting  of  the  Confer- 
ence on  Christianity  and  Literature, 
began  Thursday  evening  and 
I  through  Saturday  after- 
noon. The  individuals  represented 
30  colleges  and  i 


states.  David  Smith,  Chairman  of 
the  English  Department  at  Southern 
College,  staled  that  for  most  of  the 
individuals  this  was  their  firsl  time 
on  an  Adventist  campus  and  the 
presentation  by  Destiny  was  a  "good 
introduciion  of  Adventist  views  on 
religion."  Smith  also  stated  that 
several  individuals  expressed  enjoy- 
ment regarding  the  play,  enjoyed  ihe 
beauty  of  the  campus,  the  food,  and 
the  young  people,  especially  the 
Destiny  members. 

A  few  students  from  Southern 
College  responded  to  Destiny's 
performance  by  saying: 

"David  Demon  and  company  did 
an  excellent  job  in  writing  the  skit. 
It  made  me  think  about  how  Jesus 
suffered  and  died  for  me,"  staled 
freshman  nursing  major,  Carol 
Shaw.  "Also  how  we  treat  others 
and  how  we  want  to  be  ffeated  as 
human  beings.  The  Destiny  Drama 
Club  really  did  an  excellent  job  on 
action  and  performance."  Carol 
continued.  "My  parents  were  here, 
and  they  told  me  after  the  program 
how  impressed  they  were  with  the 
whole  thing." 

"I  thought  it  was  very  good," 
commented  Brenda  Caldwell,  fresh- 
man elementary  education  major, 
"It  was  funny,  but  serious  as  it 
showed  how  Jesus  would  have  been 
treated  if  he  were  on  Earth  today. 
Very  creative  work!" 

"I  thought  that  it  was  an  excellent 
description  of  what  it  would  be  like 
if  Christ  came  today,"  stated 
freshman  auto  body  repair  major, 
Russell  Haveman.  "I  also  thought 
that  it  was  the  best  acting  I  have  ever 


with  the  Savior,"  says  Richards. 

For  now.  though.  'He  will  give  His 
angels  charge  of  you.  to  guard  you  in 
all  your  ways"  (Psalms  91 : 1 1 ),  a  text 
frequently  repeated  by  young  children, 


God  are  especially  proud  to  be 
standing  at  our  sides  when  these 
beautiful  words  are  spoken. 


For  the 
health  of  it 


By  Darlene  Almeda,  R.N. 


Q:  During  the  Health  Espo  90  held 
in  the  Student  Center,  I  found  out  my 
cholesterol  was  a  little  higher  than  it 
should  be.  .What  suggestions  do  you 
have  for  me? 

A:  First  of  all  you  need  to  look  at 
your  diet.  Saturated  fats  must  be 
reduced.  These  are  found  in  all  animal 
products  starting  with  meat  itself,  eggs, 
whole  milk  products,  yogurt,  and 
cheese.  Also  tropical  oils  such  as 
coconut  and  palm  oils  are  saturated — 

cookies,  crackers,  and  cereals.  Try  to 
increase  your  intake  of  soluble  fiber 
such  as  oat  bran,  psyllium,  and  beans 


.  Cardio 


Next  consider  e 
cular  exercise,  including  walking,  will 
help  increase  your  HDL  (High  Density 
Lipoprotein)  also  known  as  the  "good" 
cholesterol.  HDL  helps  carry  back  to 
the  liver  excess  LDL  (Low  Density 
Lipoprotein)  and  keeps  it  from 
attaching  to  the  walls  of  the  arteries 
which  will  eventually  narrow  due  to 
the  excess  plaque  and  debris. 

According  to  B.  Rifkind,  a  choles- 
terol researcher  at  one  of  the  National 
Institutes  of  Healdi,  a  cholesterol  level 
of  200  is  a  feasible  goal  for  most 

decrease  your  risks  [of  hean  disease). 
you'd  have  to  bring  down  your  level 
well  below  140,

According  to  Evans,  each  team  captain 
is  in  charge  of  a  skit  relating  to  drug

ScanTron  tips  that 
may  improve  your 
final  exam  scores 

By  Lisa  Rosaasen 

With  lest  week  approaehing.  mosi 
stucienis  are  looking  for  ways  lo  gci  the 
best  possible  grades  on  lesls.  Surpris- 
ingly, one  of  the  simplesi  solutions  and 
one  of  the  most  effective  tools  costs 
only  twenty-two  cents. 

Mary  final  tests,  panicularly  those 
given  to  large  classes,  require  students 
to  mark  their  answers  on  special  sheeb 
which  are  read  by  a  machine.  This 

light,  responding  only  lo  infrared  light. 
In  order  for  a  mark  to  be  read,  ii  has  lo 
have  the  right  amount  of  carbon  in  it. 
The  proper  instrument  lor  this  is  a 
#2  pencil.  Mr.  John  Beckett,  director 
of  Compuier  Services  emphasized  thai 
auiomaiic  "clicker"  pencils  should  noi 

used  because  some  of  ihem  will 
aciually  make  marks  that  are  com- 
pletely invisible  to  the  machine."  said 
Beckett. 

Compuier  Services  had  its  ovm 
printer  manufacture  test  forms  for  use 
with  their  ScanTron  machme.  Re- 
cently, a  ScanTron  salesperson  on 
campus  claimed  that  forms  printed  by 

produce  acceptable  err 
So  Computer  Services  tested  its 

forms  made  and  sold  by  ScanTron, 
They  processed  25  of  each  kind  of 
sheet,  with  all  200  possible  answers 
filled  in.  Both  sets  were  graded  10 


The  sheets  wer 
changing  four  an! 
re-grading.  On  tt 
ScanTron  had  an 


ilikely  tc 


and  the  home-made  sheet  had  an  error 
rate  of  5%. 

Mr.  Beckett's  advice  to  students  wa.s 
to  use  only  a  good  old  wooden  pencil 
to  upgrade  your  grades.  His  sugges- 
tion to  the  administration  was  that 
although  the  present  answer  sheet 
scored  accepubly,  given  the  moderate 
increase  in  cost,  computer  services 
should  go  back  to  ScanTron  forms 
when  the  current  slock  is  used.

at  Southern 

By  Lisa  Rosaasen 


s  year,  the  Genera 


Conference  passed  a  policy  thai  \s 
develop  a  national  student  disaster 
relief  team  with  local  divisions  at 
panicipating  academies  and  colleges 
across  the  U.S. 

Dr.  Larry  Williams,  a  teacher 
in  the  Pschology  department  along 
with  Dan  Rozell,  a  teacher  in  the 
Business  department  hopes  to  imple- 
ment a  division  of  this  program  at 
Southern  College. 

Williams  said  the  Bible  and 
the  Spirit  of  Prophecy  says  there  will 
be  more  and  more  disasters.  "We 
should  take  this  opportunity  to  help 

College  and  academy  students 
as  well  as  faculty  will  be  involved  in 
disaster  relief  locally,  regionally,  and 
possibly  nationally  and  internationally.

Students  will  be  trained  to 
provide  trauma  and  shock  counseling, 
grief  suppon,  food  and  clothing 
distribution,  referral  services,  damage 
building  demolition,  building  repair, 
and  clean-up.  The  Red  Cross  and 
local  community  services  organiza- 
tions will  assist  with  the  training. 

To  be  involved  students  mus 
be  willing  to  leam  specific  skills  and 
have  a  strong  sense  of  motivation. 
"They  can't  look  for  the  sensational-

says  Williams. 

An  organizational  meeting  is 
scheduled  for  5:30  Monday.  April  23 
in  the  back  of  die  cafeteria.  Plans  for 
Southern's  team  will  be  discussed  and 
people  who  have  an  interest  can  sign 
up.  Williams  expects  to  contact  those 
people  over  the  summer  and  organize 
some  of  the  leaders  and  begin  the 
program  in  the  fall. 

Williams  will  be  meeting 
with  a  local  committee  in  May  and 
General  Conference  officials  in 
August  to  establish  further  plans  and 
objectives.
