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.

"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

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.

So next time you ore tempted
to say. "Ttiere's nothing to do

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 demographic data that the De-

ates. Across the nation, starting in
1991-94 or '95. there's supposed to
be a three-year dip. However, the
Southeastern United States is grow-
ing rapidly. The population is in
transition. The North and the Mid-

We don't have a final figu

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-

we have about 1500-f students on

students showed up for supper on

That's the largest supper group in

these things make for a good stu-

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

In 1922. at the administrative councilf
Southern Junior College, two students,
Merwin Thurtier and Robert Cowdrick,
took their places among

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

has met to discuss a yearbook idea initi-

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

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

ZoUtgt, Iht Srveilb-da) ^
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.

This year, on

asking." He went on to
say that those without

but chances are that they
will feel left out.
Those wishing
to go on the cruise, must

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

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

fessionals from the community
shared their stories and sugges-
tions forgetting help. Ironically,
the program was scheduled previ-

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-

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.

was evident from the starting
gun, which went off exactly on
time at 8:00 a.m.

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.

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

Two common types of
sabotage thinking are: "the got-

Let's look at the gottas

like a life or death proposition.

By the end of his dis-

When he stopped and
thought about what he'd just

He was not crazy, just
not thinking clearly or realisti-

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.

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

"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
his last sermon and gave a
call, thirty-four students
between the ages of thireen
and twenty-one accepted
Christ. These results rein-
forced Kyle's belief that die
Lord wanted him to be in
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-
son is a sophomore religion
major at Soudiem College, as-
sistant pastor of the GraysvilJe
S.D.A. Church, and president
of The Collegiate Missions
Club. His goal is to send 200
student missionaries from
Southern College to different
parts of the world.

What kind of first impression do

roomful of business associates?
Are you perceived as authorita-
tive and reliable? Or, are the
impressions you leave behind
sabotaging your chances of get-

Recruitment experts tell us there
are a number of elements that
contribute to an executive's im-
age, including clothes, grooming
and various aspects of body lan-

doesn't fit in with the overall
look, it can throw off the person's
entire image.

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-

Six years is a long time

visit six years later, isl likely

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

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

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?"

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
people like Kevin Rice, who
was director during my first two
years and Rochelle Battistone,
about whom I like everything.
People like Allan Martin, the
current director, who is also
known as Mr. Vocabulary, and
Gary Bradley, whom I wish had
been my brother. People like
Shannon Bom, a beautiful,
concemed Christian, and Dawn
Patton, to whom we said good-
bye with heavy hearts the day
she lost her battle with a termi-
nal disease.
But we're working for
the Lord, and we are striving to
be there when He calls us all
home. Dawn included , to be

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

anyone wishing to
sharpen writing skills, the
class will be taught to
meet the needs and inter-

David Smith, Eng-

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-

are important would find
this course invaluable."
Pam Harris, of the
Journalism and Communi-

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

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."

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

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.
dcd
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

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

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

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

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.
But He persisted and showed
me letters He had written.
Through these writings 1 found
the love, counseling, and gener-
osity of Jesus Christ— who has
completely changed my world.
On the road to self-
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...!"

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-

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

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.

Jen McMurray, the Social
Vice-President of the SA

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!

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

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

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

here that there was no physi-
cal beauty on Ebeye, but I

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

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

others is the way to be the

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!

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"

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.

Another pmssibility would be to let

If none of these ideas strikes your
fancy, why not give the building to

States Supreme Court, acting unchar-

conviction on grounds that a law
prohibiting flag burning violates the
freedom of nonverbal speech. The
Court probably acted wisely: rights

emphasized over objects thai symbol-

But President Bush seized the
moment. With Congressional concur-

to seek a constitutional amendment

stronger than a statute, namely an

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

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

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."

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

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

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.

Humanities Film Series Shows The Seventh Seal

Ingmur Bcrman's films have

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

campuses have discontinued the re-

have found a decline in worship and
church attendance. Yet at the same

Southern's Department of Journalism
is interested and involved with the

"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

During the afternoon Neely lectured
on the role of the press in shaping
public opinion and conducted individ-

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-

"Plenty. The more we know the

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

according to Ances Sheikh, a psy-

of mind power, put together three
teams to compete at the baskeiball

hoop for 30 days. A second group
practiced shooting free throws every

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

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

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

attention on the sound of air coming in
and going out. Then empty your lungs
and slowly take a deep breadi. Do ihat

you're done. It lakes 90 seconds."
Then, says Thomburg. who teaches
mental rehearsal in seminars and also
hosts the nationally syndicated "Power

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

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

days before one can actually see

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.

The four systems have a retail value of

New deadly sins for the 90's
By JVLIE HINDS

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

^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

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

look a lot like David Letlerman. A

human tricks. When Spy took a look

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

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.

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.

cisco Chronicle, "It's better to have
been addicted and recovered than to

year private colleges rose at a '
torrid 8.3 percent rate last year to
SI 2.365. while four-year public
college costs rose 6,2 percent to
$4,733.
Even if costs rise only 5
percent a year, four years of
private college for today's
newborn would nin you S128,260
in the year 2008; four years of
public college, $49,094.60. But
don't be intimidated:You could
cover that full public college bill
by socking away $88 a month at 8
percent, starting when your child
is bom and continuing through
the four years your child will be
in college. For private college:
$228 a month would do it.

— 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

'80s justified preening. "I think we

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,

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.

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
. Some chose to
lake it easy in the "giant sandbox,"
complete with loLtnge chairsand
umbrellas.

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.

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.

Bradley and his mother. Mary

Snoddy and her son were looking
for a way to put Bud out of his misery.
She called a Salem pet store and was

The answer lo the first question
quickly became plain. The squirrel wa;

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

As I watched I noticed diat the cat
continued to sleep. Although his

And the squirrel? Well, as he

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.

strongly believe that Senate is one

As a Senator here at Southern I
have had the important opponuniiy

What I hope to accomplish as

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;

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.

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

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

Nelson Mandella returned to the dusly
streets of Soweto. I wonder how he will
enjoy his 5250,000 mansion constructed

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

been fashionable to make student
involvement the focus of a candidate's
campaign (for example: Mark Wal-

the future it's very likely some
innovative student will attempt to
capitalize on the general student body

Measles feared to be reaching epidemic
proportions on college campuses nationwide
By LUCY YOUNG

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.
Judy Ganit, a CDC health educa-
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

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

administration's attention and moved
along the agenda further."

what they're capable of achieving, a
sufficiently organized student body can

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.

choose to ingest it but go as far as

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.

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

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

sibility that lies before it. The

students' rooms and listen to some of

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

for fiction story books. This is the line

that pastors and Church leaders can

We must remember that God uses

noted that if one tries to discuss the

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

over placement of surveillance

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

Lisa Rosaasen, feel that there are
other areas on campus that need

According lo Dean Rose there are
problems. There has been vandalism

says the cameras would eliminate this

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

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

(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

Q: During the Health Espo 90 held

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

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
